Hey enjoy this chapter.
* The Guilds POV *
The guild arrived to an enormous gate. They walked in the front gate to be greeted by a gatekeeper.
"Welcome to the estate prove your strength," she said as she stood there by an enormous stone gate.
"Great a nut job," Gray spoke out loud as Erza smacked him in the back of the head.
"Will you quit doing that," Gray asked holding the back of his head from the pain of Erza's smack, as everybody laughed.
"What's going on N invited us," Macao said still laughing at what happened.
"N set up an test," she said as she looked at them and laughed.
"Now leave or play," she said as she stood by the stone gate.
"What's the test," Erza asked.
"I don't know the full test, but my test is to see your strength, open the 1st level of the gate," she said.
"Easy," Gray said as he walked up to the large gate and pushed with some might but it refused to open.
"W-what," Gray gawked.
"Its so simple to you, so open it," she mocked Gray and his arrogant tone.
"You open it," he said as she walked up and pulled off her jacket as her muscles were shown and she pushed it open in five seconds, with much difficulty she pulled it shut.
"Now open the gate," she said as she put her jacket.
"How can you open it," Erza gasped at her strength and asked.
"If I couldn't I would've been fired by now," she said regaining her composure.
"Now open the gate," she said as she pointed to Erza and Gray.
Erza walked up and Gray pushed against the gate. Finally she added to the strength and they held the gate open. Soon the gate had opened showing a forest with a path. Everybody walked in as Gray and Erza had run in behind them and the gate quickly shut behind them.
"That was only one level," gray said still panting from holding the gate open.
"That means there's more levels," Lucy said as she walked forward.
"Let's just get there," Master said sighing.
They all walked the path as they spotted another gate that had a note attached to it. "Another gate," Gray shouted.
"GATES ARE MANLY," Elfman shouted in reply.
Mira tore the note off the gate and read it out loud. "Turn around," she said as she and everybody else turned around to see a man.
"AHH," they screamed.
"How long have you been there," Cherry asked.
"Not important, but the whole time," he said.
"Solve my riddle," he said.
"What is your riddle," Mira asked.
"You have me, and you share me, now you have me no more," he said.
"How many turns do we have," Mira asked.
"Three and if you answer wrong you will feel a lot of pain until you die," he said.
"W-what, why is N doing this to us," Macao yelled asking.
"It's his rules, Master N said to us that we need to test who ever comes in," he said.
"Now answer," he commanded.
"Is it money," Lucy asked.
"No," he said as she screamed and wallowed in pain.
"Next," he asked.
"Stop," Lisanna said.
"No," he said as Lisanna screamed with Lucy in pain.
"That's not manly to mess with my sister, BEAST SOUL," Elfman said getting glaring and activated a beast soul.
"That does not answer my riddle," he said as Elfman grunted and fell to the ground wallowing in the same amount of pain as the other, the pain interrupted his transformation.
"Please stop, don't hurt them," Lucy begged.
"Kindred but stupid pitiful soul, you should be worrying more about your self," he said as Lucy screamed a deathly scream as tears of pain poured down her face.
"STOP," Gray yelled as he was about to punch him but the man dodged and Gray fell in pain.
"You guys are horrible at riddles," he chuckled as he observed his work.
"It's a secret," the master said gritting his teeth.
"Correct," he said as he opened the gate and watched as the people who were groveling in pain get up as if that pain never happened.
"Hope you survive her," he said as they left glaring at the man who just stood there with no expression.
Then the gate closed and they continued walking only to notice a cute girl waiting in front of a small gate. "It's manly to like a girl," Elfman shouted as Evergreen glared at the woman.
"Wait," Erza said looking at the girl cautiously as she smiled back a cute innocent smile.
"What's your test," Erza said walking up to the girl stepping across the line she had made. Erza then grunted and dodged the umbrella she held in her hand.
"You have to beat me in order to step across the line," she said. Erza turned around to show her formal clothing was in shatters and she had a giant bruise upon her stomach.
"But I thought you dodged," Juvia shouted shocked.
"I did after I felt it," Erza said.
"What do you mean," Gray asked.
"She hit me hard enough to leave a bruise, but I couldn't feel it until her umbrella had left my stomach," Erza said holding her stomach in pain.
"So who's up next," she said.
"I can't stand by and watch my children be taken out," the master said as he stepped up.
"Okay come at me," she said as she looked at the old man with the same innocent smile she had on before.
"Gladly," the master said as he ran towards the girl at his full speed. People cheered from the sidelines though they could barely see the hits that they laid on each other. When they stopped they were on opposite sides, though Master still hadn't stepped across the line.
"How," he asked as he collapsed on the ground.
"Your to slow," she said as a cut suddenly appeared on her cheek.
"You cut my face, my beautiful face," she said as her face changed from happy to a serious face.
"Who's next," she said smiling regaining her composure.
"I am," Gray said stepping up.
"Okay," she said.
"But I'll be joining him," Jet said stepping up next to Gray.
"What should we do, master N didn't say anything about two battling me," she said as she rubbed her head in confusion.
"I guess he'll allow it," she said as she smiled at them with the same innocent smile.
Then Jet and Gray moved, Jet ran at full speed, while Gray used his ice to move at a faster speed. Jet kicked for her, but she seen it coming and dodged by jumping up as Gray predicted he sent some of his ice magic up into the air.
She then plopped down standing, as her clothes were tattered. "First my face, now my clothes, your dead," she said as she glared at them and disappeared only to reappear in front Gray and Jet, there was now two, it was from her speed and it made her look like she had a twin, as she kicked them in the stomach and they faltered back from the kick.
"She packs a punch," Gray said holding his stomach.
"She does," Jet said grinning while groveling.
"But her anger makes her blind, she hadn't noticed it yet," Gray said as he smirked.
"Noticed what," she asked as she looked down to notice Gray had frozen her feet in place.
"Ready," Gray shouted as Jet shook speedily his head in an up and down motion. Then they both ran as she tried to break the ice with her umbrella failing to notice their attack.
They hit her in her solar plexus as she gasped and passed out. Gray and Jet collapsing onto the ground after, they were awake but barely could move from the kick she did on them.
Erza helped Gray up despite her own wound, and Wendy's magic was still replicating itself so she couldn't heal anybody. Wendy felt useless and instead helped Droy with holding Jet up. Laxus held the old man; while the old man was awake he was hit to hard for his old body to keep up.
They walked down the path holding each other up and angered at N's actions. They had wondered what's the next gate, and what is the test? They're getting impatient with N's actions and games and wanted to see him not only to thank him for keeping the gate up, but to also thank him the fairy tail way.
They finally arrived to another gate with another gatekeeper, they at first didn't notice him, but soon saw his face. "Welcome," he said as he grinned at them, they all collectively gasped at the gatekeeper. The gatekeeper had pink hair and sharp onyx eyes with a pink hair and a scaly looking scarf around his neck.
Hope you enjoyed the story. J
