20. Something's gotta BURN
Laxus and Gildarts walked over to the guild's members. They didn't need to utter a word because the men knew what was happening here. As soon as they heard about the murder, they couldn't just sit around and do nothing, now could they? It was some serious payback time. And Raven was gonna get it. No doubt about that.
When Gildarts nodded to the group they all nodded back in determination. Gildarts had to suppress a chuckle. The brats sure grew quick.
"Gildarts!" the perky pink-haired, fire-munching lunatic shouted.
"Yo, Natsu! I see you got yourselves a ride."
"I sure did! Dad's gonna help us wipe the floor with those bastards!"
"I'm glad to hear that."
"Dad."
Gildarts' attention was drawn to a brunette on his left. The girl waved awkwardly and he skipped to stand in front of her. Oh man, did he skip like a girl-
"So how's my daughter doing?" he asked.
"Not bad. I'm preparing myself for some serious ass-kicking."
"That's what I like to hear. Now..." he paused, "let's take them down."
If it wouldn't have been for the movement of the water in her cup, Flare wouldn't have known something was wrong. What was that noise outside? She stood to take a look, ignoring the boring story her teammate tried to entertain her with. The moment she laid eyes on the mob, she shrieked. Her guild members cocked an eyebrow en sighed. What was it now?
"Flare, what are you doing?" Nullpudding asked.
"The- there... Th-they..."
The fire mage shook in fear in front of the glass. The guild noticed the vibration of the cups on the tables.
"Is it an earthquake?" a member asked.
"We should evacuate."
And at that moment, Flare snapped.
"IT'S FAIRY TAIL! GET AWAY FROM THERE!"
But it was already too late, the doors swung open with a loud crack and fire filled the guild hall. The first man to enter was...
"Well well," Nullpudding chuckled, "came to avenge your girlfriend?"
Within seconds, he was sent flying with icicle spears in his abdomen and a man with lust for his blood went all out, with the intent of putting him through more pain than anyone could imagine having.
He was gonna let him experience Juvia's pain. Tenfold.
