Location Oak Town
On top the large hill in Oak Town was a massive guild hall belonging to the only guild that was located there. Home to the main branch of one of the largest and oldest guilds in Fiore... Phantom Lord. Inside of the ancient guild hall, all of its members were cackling at the pain that their rival guild must be feeling about for their hurt member's. They laughed "Man, we got those Fairies good, right?!" a man asked laughing.
"Hahaha! You said it! We showed those weak little fairies who's the real boss!" another man laughed in agreement.
"Man I wish I had a camera so I coulda seen their faces when they saw their pathetic guild wrecked to pieces and took a picture!" the first man said.
"That woulda been priceless tell you what!" the second man said in agreement.
"I heard Gajeel went back to Magnolia and beat a few of the Fairies into the dirt! Just for the fun of it!" the first man said to his friend.
"Really I thought it was because of Master Jose told him to." the second man said curiously.
"Who cares! I'm just glad he did it! I hate those annoying little bastards!" the first man growled.
"No arguments there!" One of the members downed his drink before standing up and heading towards the door,
"Well I guess I'm off!" he said.
"Where you headed?" a member asked.
"Got a job working as protection for some business. They begged for someone to guard their damned store with such a shitty pay, and all I had to do was threaten them a little and they doubled the reward!" the man said as he started to laugh.
"Only double? Pfft, weak. I probably coulda tripled it easily. Maybe even quadrupled that!" his friend laughed out.
"Yeah whatever. I'll be back when I get it done." He said as he opened the door and walked out while closing it behind him. The guild continued its celebration while cheering at their vandalism of the other famous guild until...
"AHHHHHHHH!" And then the doors flew open and the Phantom mage that had just walked out was blasted right back in through the doors he had just walked out.
He bounced off the ground several times until he slammed into the back wall and passed out, a huge bruise on his cheek and blood from his mouth where he was missing several teeth. The doors started to close again but before they shut a figure stepped into the guild. They all looked towards the front in silence as a red-headed woman in armor stepped into their guildhall the sound of her metal boots being the only noise in the whole room.
She stopped in the center of the ground floor and her eyes slowly panned left and right, summing up the men around her. She closed her eyes before announcing, "I want all of you to remember something we didn't start this fight... so whatever happens next, be it broken bones or waking up in pain, just remember..." her hair parted to reveal brown eyes full of barely contained rage, "This is your own fault." she yelled out.
Then the doors behind her exploded off their hinges in a wave of fire as they flew past her and into the group of Mages. The smoke faded to reveal an angry pink-haired man with flames coming off his arms, joined by several other people standing right behind him. As the Phantom Mages stood up a smooth metallic fist pierced through the left wall before blowing it apart with a massive shock wave that shook the building. They all jumped back in shock as a tall man with a large coat over his back wearing a bandana over his hair while he carried an assortment of weapons on his person started making his way in with narrowed eyes and a now regular arm, and other Mages following behind him. Finally, the right wall started to be encompassed by ice before it was destroyed by a giant fist going through it smashing it into pieces.
A short man with white hair along with a man with black hair and bandages over his stomach started to step over the ice covered debris with another group behind him. The three entrances were now full with members from the attacking guild, the Phantom Mages looking around in shock at the sudden appearance. The short old man made his way past the selfmade entrance and stopped before yelling out, "FAIRY TAIL! I ORDER YOU TO ATTACK AND SHOW THESE BASTARDS THE SAME MERCY THEY SHOWED US!" and with that all of the invading Mages yelled before they charged forward, preparing their magic for battle.
The Phantom Mages panicked "FAIRY TAIL'S ATTACKING US!" a woman yelled in shock.
Natsu snarled his teeth and leaped up before rocketing back down with a flaming fists "YOU BASTARDS ARE MINE NOW!" he yelled out striking a Phantom Lord wizard.
A massive explosion blew several Phantom Mages off their feet and onto their backs as Natsu roared violently. The Fairy Mages were charging all around and attacking the overwhelming number of the Phantom Mages that surrounded them.
Gray slammed his fist into his palm as a gust of cold air shot from his hands. He yelled "Ice Make: Lance" and several spears made of ice extended from his hands and slammed squarely into the chests of the charging Phantom Mages, blasting groups of them away before he started charging towards his next group of victims.
"WRRAHHH!" Elfman's arms glowed brightly and they changed into his Beast Arm Take Over sets, the Black Bull and Iron Bull. He pounded them together with a resounding thud before he yelled and charged toward another group that started to pull out their weapons and magic. Before they could attack he started making large sweeps with his arms and blowing them all away with the force of his strikes. He shouted with a vein across his head "NONE OF YOU ARE READY TO FACE THE ANGER OF A REAL MAN!" he roared in anger. As Elfman then grabbed two men by their shoulders and slammed them into the ground knocking them unconscious he then yelled "We'll never forgive you guys you hear me! Never!" at the groaning mages.
Naruto snorted as he swept his hand out and smacked the man away. Naruto then lashed out to his left and blasted a group of them away with a shockwave as he was mindful of his own friends. Reaching to his back he grabbed two chain's that appeared to have been attached to a couple of swords and swung them around him. Jumping over a group of wizard's he lands and Naruto cracked his neck as he walked forward as a group of wizards running at him which causes him to smirk, "Who falls first?" he asked as he crossed his arms. Three meters until they were in range of a unconscious quake. The wizards of Phantom Lord scream in surprise as they are thrown back by a unseen blast.
"Don't engage that man alone!" a wizard cried out, "He's the most powerful person in the world, Naruto D. Newgate!" he said before he was kicked away.
Naruto smirked before he suddenly lashed out his arm and a blade rocketed off where it wrapped itself around a man's chest. Naruto yanked his arm back and brought the man with him and grabbed the hilt of his blade and hit him with the pommel and knee'd the man in the gut before he smashed the man's head into the ground shattering it. He then threw the blade out to his side and grabbed the chain and yanked the links to the opposing side which brought the blade around in front of him and grabbed three of the Phantom Wizards in one swoop before he yanked the chain over his head and slammed them into the ground. Yanking the blade back in he stopped a sword strike to his back with it before he broke the man's own blade and he kicked the man away. Throwing his hands behind him he dropped both the blades on the ground and rushed forward, "Experience the Quake for yourself you bastards, "World Breaker" the man called out as he reached the middle of the chains.
Grabbing the chains he swings the Blades of Chaos overhead and applies his Quake based power to them where it runs along the chains and into the blades and he then slams them into the ground destroying it. The wizards are all sent tumbling back once again, but Naruto isn't done yet. Releasing the duel blades, Naruto then controls the destroyed earth where it is then launched high into the air and gathered to form a mountain like structure. Naruto looks at it and shrugs, "While not as big as I want it to be to get the job done of hurting all of you scumbags, I think it'll do just the trick, don't you agree." he asked the now quivering wizards as they looked at the massive rock structure.
Naruto then reaches out and grabs an area, by grabbing and pulling on the air around him as if it were tangible, and rapidly shifts it that causes the large rocky structure to fall towards the ground and crushes anything caught in its wake. The ground rumbles and shakes as the Wizards are thrown away with yells of shock as the blast also tears down a good portion of the wall behind them. Naruto looks around and scowls as he had kicked up a large cloud of dust, and then swipes his arm through the air clearing the dust as if it were a pesky fly in his face.
Naruto then saw a bright light shine directly behind him and ducked as Erza sent a wave of swords flying around her in a circle while in her Heaven's Wheel Armor. While the Phantom Mages were blown back by the force of her swords, Naruto looked behind him before he yelled, "FAIRY TAIL DUCK DOWN!" before he gathered magic into his fists and crossed them over his chest as bright light started to cover his hands. He slammed his fists out and came into contact with what appeared to be a invisible wall of glass as he called out where it began to crack the air, "Earth Dragons: Eatershaker Impact" and the ground starts to shake and tumble about as the wizards of Phantom are blasted away by his powerful quakes.
When the Fairy Tail wizard's technique fizzled out half the guild hall was gone from existence while a good third of the wizards were down and out of commision with tattered clothes. Seeing how he had no enemies left he ran to Master Makarov for more orders. Macao and Wakaba stood besides each other and laid the beat down on numerous Mage's with their Purple Flame and Smoke magic as Cana slid in besides them. She pulled out several cards and threw them on the ground as powerful blasts of water started breaking everything apart around her "The Prayer's Fountain!" she called out.
Loke gripped his fist and his rings shined brightly before sending a blast of light around with a loud roar. Natsu and Gray jumped besides each other and started gathering their respective elements before swiping their arms out to attack the Phantom Mages. Wakaba, Macao and Elfman then started working as a powerful team to defeat their enemies while Erza circled around them to defeat any stragglers all the while changing her armors.
Even Happy and Kurama were flying over everyone's heads and dropping heavy objects on top of the Phantom wizards' heads and beating them with a fish in the case of Happy. It was pure pandemonium on the battlefield as Fairy Tail took out their anger on the ones that had attacked their guild and friends. Some Phantom Mages started to recover and push themselves off the ground before they looked over to see Makarov hadn't taken a single step since the charge started. One of them pointed to him and yelled "Master Makarov hasn't moved yet! Take the old man down and the guild will follow after!" as others roared in agreement.
They all charged towards the short old man as he continued glaring forward. And with a simple wave of his arm, he slammed all the Mages into the wall with his Titan arm and grabbed one of them before he could pass out. He held the beaten Phantom Mage directly in front of him and spoke threateningly "Where. Is. Jose?" in a voice that demanded an answer. The Phantom Mage had some tears start well up in his eyes from the fear before he slowly looked back towards a set of stairs leading to another level. Makarov dropped the frightened Mage to the ground before returning his arm to its normal size and marching towards the other guild master's chamber.
He made his way up the steps before he noticed more Mages start to come down from the higher levels and pointing at him. One of them yelled "It's Master Makarov! Get him!" They came charging at the short man and the Wizard Saint prepared to attack. But Naruto came jumping in from behind and sent a spinning kick into each of the Mages' faces before they could reach the old man. As they collided with the ground, Naruto landed in a crouch and Makarov spared him a look before continuing forward.
Naruto stood back up and ran over to his master's side before looking down at the old man "Please tell me you have a plan Master." he said to the old man
"Of course I do who do you think I am boy?" Makarov asked as he narrowed his eyes further, "I plan to beat that rotten bastard Jose into the ground for having his men to do something like this to our family. And once I'm done beating him black and blue I'll tell him to never mess with our guild again before I do it again to emphasize my point." he said to the man.
Naruto groaned "And as much as I would love to see that happen, I think you should really take a moment and think about how you're gonna handle this situation Master." the blonde said before he breathed out a stream of earth at a mage behind Makarov.
Makarov continued walking on ignoring the fights around him. "You know I really don't think you're one to talk about thinking ahead in a fight. Considering you chose to fight against an entire Dark Guild all by yourself and nearly destroyed an entire station in Onibus." Makarov said.
"Yeah, but I wasn't gonna fight a Wizard Saint when I was doing that. Master this is different." The blonde told the old man.
"Do you not think I can't take him?" Makarov asked the blond.
"No! We all know you're strong enough to beat that bastard into the ground! And we want you to!" Naruto looked down at the short man in suspicion. "However i also think that Jose knows that too. Which means he'll probably be ready to fight you somehow to make up for that." the blond said.
Makarov continued marching forward without any change in his facial features before he looked up at Naruto "What do you suppose we should do then?" he asked Naruto.
The blond teen narrowed his eyes "Let me fight him first Master. I'll fight, he'll use up all his tricks and stuff on me, and then you can come in and-" Naruto started to say before he was interrupted.
"No Naruto." Makarov answered sternly without any room for argument, "I'm sorry my boy, but I'd rather not have one of you youngster's have to try and fight him. He's twisted in the head my boy. And besides that, you're nowhere near ready to fight a Wizard Saint on equal footing." Makarov told him.
Naruto sighs before he says "I'm not talking about fighting him. I'm talking about about both of us working together to kick his ass and you stepping in to finish him off Master." Naruto told Makarov.
"Sorry Naruto but this is my fight now go help the others, I'll be fine." Makarov ordered him as he turned around and continued to walk.
"On it Master." Naruto said as he jumped over the balcony.
Meanwhile in Magnolia
Lucy was making her way through the streets of Magnolia with a bag of groceries in her arms and a disheartened expression on her face. She had told the others that she would stay back here in Magnolia with Mirajane to watch over the guild and the injured Team Shadow Gear. She felt powerless knowing all of her friends had gone off to fight Phantom Lord and she was left behind to watch over those who hadn't. She probably would have just gotten in the way if she had followed them into the fight anyway but…
She wanted to do something to make up for Levy's and the others pain. But all she could do was buy groceries and wait for their return it was a shame really. Lucy suddenly felt a drop of rain fall on her head and looked up at the dark clouds hanging over her head. A heavy downpour of rain started pelting her as the streets and roofs were nearly instantly filled with runoff water. She sighed and hung her head. This was actually appropriate for how she felt. She felt like a dark cloud was floating over her head all day so this was good.
But what made her curious was where did the clouds come from since it was clear and sunny just a few seconds ago. "Drip. Drip. Drop." a voice said catching Lucy's attention. Lucy's eyes widened as she looked back behind her and saw a figure started approaching her from across the street. Through the heavy rain she could see a slender figure walk towards her while carrying an umbrella with a large top.
The figure came into view as a young woman that was around or was the same height as Lucy. She had a pale complexion and long blue hair that was done up in curls around her head, which she thought looked cute. She was also wearing a thick blue raincoat with a rain-warding doll fastened around the collar. And her eerie blue eyes stared forward as she spoke in a monotone that carried over the street "Drip. Drip. Drop Juvia is the rain woman." she said.
The strange woman continued to walk up to Lucy as the new Fairy Mage grew suspicious of her. She slowly lowered her hand to her hip just in case she had to grab one of her keys as the woman walked closer still, "The rain clouds continue to pour down on us. And though they may wash away the dirt, but they will never be able to wash away the thoughts that cloud us." the woman said. The strange woman stopped and stood besides Lucy and looked towards her for a moment before giving a slight nod, "Good day." and continued to walk on.
Lucy stood in place with a confused expression and looked back at the woman as she left. This town. What was with it having all the weirdos and freaks? Oh wait that's normal for Magnolia. Lucy just stood there confused until she decided to just ignore the strange behavior and- "Non non non, that is pas bon, Madame Juvia. We cannot just walk by the objectif like that." a french sounding voice said catching Lucy's attention once again.
Lucy's eyes widened and she looked back to see the pavement by the woman's feet start to stretch and warp itself as it started to rise and then turn into the form of a lanky man in a fancy brown suit with a pencil-thin mustache and a monocle. The young lady looked at him in mild realization "Oh, Monsieur Sol, Juvia is sorry. Juvia was so distracted by the rain that Juvia forgot what we came here for." the now named Juvia said.
"It's quite alright my dear, but it will be unfortunate for us if Monsieur Jose finds out we didn't grab our target and retrieve her." the man named Sol said.
Lucy eyes widened before she glared at them and faced them with anger in her voice "Jose! Phantom Lord's master?! T-that means you're members of the Phantom guild, right?" Lucy asked shocked.
The lanky man spun on his feet before giving a deep bow towards the busty blonde "Oui Oui, we are envoys of the Phantom Lord guild. Two members of the Elemental Four, Sol and Madame Juvia, at your service. We are pleased to make ze acquaintance of you Madame Lucy." Sol said to her.
Lucy held the bag closer to her chest and narrowed her eyes at the two strange enemies. She then spoke "Are you gonna attack the guild again? Even if everyone else is away, I will protect our guild no matter what!" she told him.
Sol let out a hearty laugh at Lucy's determination while Juvia started to look at her with a smile as well. The Earth Mage smiled at her, "Non non non, you misunderstand our intentions mademuaselle. Our guild never wanted to fight your guild out of jealousy. We just needed to get you separated from each other." Sol told her.
Lucy raised an eyebrow at that "What are you talking about?" she asked him with a confused face.
"We are not interested in a guild war, we are only interested in you...Mademoiselle Lucy Heartfilia." Sol said. Lucy's eyes widened in horror and she dropped the bag of groceries before reaching for her keys. But before she could even grab one of her golden keys, a ball of water wrapped around her head and cut off her supply of oxygen. She held her breath and tried to pull the ball of water off her head but it was futile as her fingers just slipped through the water. She tried to keep holding her breath as long as possible but she reached her limit and opened her mouth as a stream of bubbles started coming out of her mouth.
Sol stood and watched as Juvia kept the ball of water around her head long enough for her to lose her all of her air supply and start blacking out. Just a little more and then they will have had their target. "Lucy? Lucy, where are you? It just started pouring down and I was worried you were caught in it!" Mira's voice carried over the street as she walked around the corner with an umbrella over her head. She kept calling "Lucy where are you? Lucy..." Mira stopped and looked in horror as she saw two strange people standing in front of a Lucy that was slowly losing all of her air. She dropped her umbrella and ran over "LUCY!" she screamed.
"Ohhhh, that's pas bon." Sol raised his hand and the ground started to bend before exploding and knocking Mira back with a yelp of pain. As their attention was on the lovely barmaid, Lucy finally managed to pull out a golden key and aimed it towards her two assailants before it started glowing. A bright light started to illuminate the entire area and the two Phantom Mages had to cover their eyes.
"Mooooooooooo~!" A golden axe tore through their bodies horizontally and they collapsed into rock and water as the giant Celestial Spirit, Taurus, yelled "I'll take down anyone that tries to harm Lucy and her fabulous body you hear me!" at the two. When the two Mages were attacked, the ball around Lucy's head collapsed and she then gasped for air.
She fell backwards and started coughing up water as Mira pulled herself back up and ran over to her side "Lucy are you alright?" Mira asked her. Lucy still continued coughing as a few small tears started gathering in her eyes. She held her throat and looked at the spot the two Mages once stood as the rain finally stopped. She knew why they were doing this. And it was all her fault.
With Fairy Tail at Phantom Lord
Landing in a crash Gajeel gained everyone's attention. When the smoke from where he landed cleared all of the Fairy Tail mages narrowed their eyes at him. "Ooohhh mister Earthshaker come on out and play." Gajeel called out in a singsong voice.
"YOU BASTARD!" a voice yelled out angrily. Gajeel looked back just in time to see Elfman pounce on him with his fist pulled back. Gajeel dodged and flipped to the side as the Strauss man's fist dug into the floor before he immediately started chasing after him with a barrage of fists. He yelled with a righteous anger "IT WAS YOU THAT ATTACKED THE GUILD AND OUR FRIENDS!" Elfman roared at him.
Gajeel cackled while swiftly evading the larger man's fists,
"Damn you guys really are raring to go! Now you're making this fun!" Gajeel said. Gajeel continued to just barely evade the attacks before he backed up into a partially destroyed table. Elfman saw the opportunity and aimed directly for the man's face before he saw a grin stretch over Gajeel's face. Gajeel jumped back and held himself up on the broken table before kicking out and turning his legs into metal poles. Elfman guarded against the attack as it pushed him back and across the ground.
He struggled to keep the metal attack against the back of his arms before he glared at Gajeel, "Is that all you got?" he asked the dragon slayer.
Gajeel grinned, "No, and as a matter of fact!" Multiple bumps started appearing along the length of the metal poles before dozens of smaller bars started shooting out and nearly striking against Elfman's skull. The white-haired man had to dodge them constantly as a flurry of metal spires nearly took off his head as they kept coming out faster and faster. One finally landed against his jaw and he flew backwards "AH!" he yelled in pain.
Gajeel smirked as he watched the large man stumble back. But his smile faded when he saw someone leap over Elfman and fly towards him with a fiery anger in his eyes. Natsu landed a punch against Gajeel's face and sent him flying back with a roar of "WRAHHHHHH!" and the Iron Dragon Slayer bounced off the ground and slammed into the wall as Natsu gathered his flames and swung his arm towards the drowned man "Fire Dragons: Wing Attack" the teen calls out. A wave of golden fire spread out along the ground floor and bounced off the remaining wall Gajeel was imbedded in while also taking out a few remaining Phantom Mages. The surrounding debris was lit on fire and Natsu stared at the spot Gajeel was lying in before he spoke over his shoulder "Elfman, I'm taking this fight! No arguments!" he said the the white haired man.
Elfman rubbed his injured chin before grumbling, "Can't believe you would be taking a man's fight so selfishly. If you're doing this then you can't lose. You got me?" he asked. Natsu just gave him a silent nod as he saw Gajeel's figure start to move through the wall of flames. The fire wavered as Gajeel jumped through it and landed in a crouch. He kept himself low to the ground before standing back up and smiling menacingly, only a slight bruise on his cheek from the attack he had just took.
He laughed a bit before he looked at Natsu "I guess we can finally get back to business... Salamander. Yeah that's a name for you... slippery as a Salamander." Gajeel said.
Naruto had slight scuff marks over his body as he stood silently in the destroyed hallway. Smoke and rubble surrounded him everywhere as his eyes darted back and forth to try and find the man that continued to disappear and reappear to attack him. Naruto was not happy that he was always just an inch away from landing a hit he knew would make the large man actually cry in pain instead of his fake cries.
Aria appeared floating above him and held his hands out as the air distorted into balls and rocketed towards the pinkette "Zetsu"Aria called out. Naruto looked up before stepping aside as a ball of highly compressed air fell where he once stood. He then started to speed up and dash across the hallway and along the walls as the balls of air started pelting everything in sight and reducing it to rubble.
Naruto jumped up against the wall and launched himself towards the large man while pulling out back his metal encased fist. He was prepared to punch a hole right through the Air Mage but Aria faded away before he could reach him. Naruto spun through the air and skid against the ground before looking around angrily "Asshole! Stop being a cowardly bitch and face me!" Naruto yelled out to the invisible man. He was scowling and grumbling, angered that this guy could turn invisible in the air and disappear from his senses. This guy controlled Air and it was similar to the wind, so did that mean that he could turn invisible if he could manipulate it in a certain way? No. Not the time for that. Focus on trying to find the big bastard.
"Huhuhu!" Aria's sobs echoed through the hallway and could not be distinguished where he was hiding. He continued crying "It is so sorrowful that our two guilds had to come to such a violent confrontation like this! Truly a terrible twist of fate!" Aria cried.
"Fate had nothing to fucking do with it dirtbag!" Naruto yelled out to wherever the Elemental Four member was hiding while snarling his teeth "This happened because you guys chose to fuck with our guild and hurt our friends so take your punishment!" Naruto roared.
"We did not mean to instigate a fight with your guild!" Aria said sobbing still.
"Bullshit!" Natsu responded with venom in his voice at the answer, "All your guild ever does is pick fights with us! You've been angry and jealous towards us for years now! If you wanted a fight then I would have happily taken you up on that offer! Instead you chose to hurt our friends when they least expected it! And now you have to pay for what you did!" Naruto said.
"You misunderstand. We were not doing it just to antagonize you." Aria said with a sob.
"Then why did you attack us?" Naruto asked.
"We did it to tear your guild apart." Aria said.
Naruto's eyes widened when he heard the voice literally behind his ears and looked back to see the massive man floating over him. Aria waved his hands around and a cage of solid air formed around Naruto. The inside of the cage started spinning and Naruto held his throat as he felt the air slowly evacuate his lungs. Aria continued to cry as Naruto stumbled on his feet inside the cage suffocating. He wept once again "It is so sorrowful that you will not get to see the end of your guild come with your own eyes! So sorrowful indeed!" Aria cried.
*CRACK*
Aria stopped crying when he felt a gust of heat pass over his body and looked back to see Naruto had swung a metal fist and destroyed his cage. The man kept his arm outstretched and his eyes were out of view before he looked up at the Air Mage with ferocity burning in them. Aria jumped back and contorted the air around him to run away before Naruto could make a move, but a massive fist countered and destroyed his magic before it could solidify.
The teen dressed appeared directly in front of Aria's face before turning in the air and planting his lightning flame encased fist in the large man's face as he called out "Earth Dragon's Iron fist!" and punched the man in the face. Aria's whole body was lifted off the ground before he was sent flying across the massive hallway and into the wall on the other side before breaking through most of it from the extra force. Aria's cheek was now bruised black and blood was streaming down his chin before he was barely able to lift himself up.
"I thought you were good at wind magic but it seems you are not that good at it." spoke Naruto to Aria with a low growl in his voice as he stood a few feet away from the man he had so easily tossed aside "And if you think something like this is enough to destroy our guild, then you are stupider than I thought. I welcome the challenge." he said.
Aria gritted his teeth and started to lift himself up before reaching for the blindfold over his eyes. Naruto narrowed his eyes and clenched his fist tightly in anticipation of another round. But before Aria could grab the cloth he flinched like he had felt something pass over him. He lowered his hands before tears started going down his cheeks again, "So unfortunate...so sorrowful...I'm sorry Earthshaker. I truly wish to take the time and show you your inferiority before the might of Phantom, but I am needed elsewhere."
He put his hands together and the air around him started to swirl, "It is so unfortunate...that you and your friends must now walk this perilous journey alone." He told Naruto as he disappeared. Naruto's eyes widened and he dashed forward while swinging his sword but cut through thin air as Aria vanished. Naruto crash landed on the ground and looked around desperately to locate the large man. But the nagging feeling of being watched and the possibility of being attacked had disappeared from his senses. Aria was truly gone.
In the chamber room atop the highest point in the Phantom Lord guild, there was a massive wooden door that led into a mostly empty room except for a large throne directly across from the door. A low humming could be heard before a massive blast blew the doors of their hinges and blasted them across the room and into the wall. Makarov walked in while his large pool of magical power flared around his whole body and his eyes were white with rage. He yelled with a booming voice "Jose! It's time for you to pay for your crimes come out and face me!"
The man being threatened by the short guild master was comfortably sitting on the throne across from Makarov. He was dressed in a strange and ostentatious wizard outfit with a large purple hat to match the rest of his clothes and a pair of massive bat wings on his back. He was a slim, middle-aged man with long black hair and black lipstick over his subtle smile. This was the guild master of Phantom Lord and one of the Ten Wizard Saints, Jose Porla.
His eyes poked out from underneath his hat and looked at the short, wrinkled man that flooded the entire area with his staggering magic power. He spoke with a calm tone in his voice to his challenger "Hello again, Makarov. It's a pleasure to finally see you again after all these years. When was the last time you and I met face-to-face like this, do you remember cause I sure don't?" he asked the old man.
"I'm not here for small talk Jose." Makarov seethed at the younger man "I'm here to deal only punishment." Makarov said.
"My my, that's so reckless Makarov. You usually have such a calm and composed aura about you, but now it feels like I'm actually looking a monster directly in the eye." He smiled, "Truly terrifying." Jose said.
"I haven't even begun to show you what really is terrifying, Jose." Makarov said as he then flared his magic again. "I don't know why you chose to attack our guild, but all that matters is that you did. You destroyed our guild. And more importantly, you've hurt my children. And no amount of begging for forgiveness will be able to protect you from that sin or me!" Makarov said.
"Well there's no reason to be so jumpy Makarov." Jose said as he stood out of his throne and looked to his side,
"Because we already have what we wanted." he said looking at a vision Lacrima.
The image of Lucy kneeling on the ground with a bubble of water over her head and drowning appeared right besides Jose. Makarov's eyes widened and he jumped towards his captured child "LUCY!" Makarov screamed as Makarov jumped, the form of a massive man in a long green coat appeared over him. Makarov's eyes slowly opened and he turned in midair to see the air around his hands start to contort and twist around the short man. Makarov felt the strange air start to cover him, 'Shit this isn't good!' Makarov thought.
*BOOM*
The fighting on the ground level came to a screeching halt as they heard a massive explosion blow out the roof over their heads. Natsu stopped fighting Gajeel and ran to the edge of the blown out wall of the hallway and looked up as he was a small figure fall through the air and careen towards the ground. He felt a cold chill run over his back before he jumped off the side and caught the small figure before they landed on the floor and cracked the ground.
The other Fairy members looked at the blond dragonslayer as he stood out of the small crater with a sickly and pale Makarov in his arms, gasping for air as his eyes started to roll back into his head.
Erza saw the horrible sight "M-Master!" she gasped in shock at the sight.
The Fairies started to swarm around the sick man in Naruto's arms as they all panicked, "What happened to him?" Wakaba asked.
"Why does he look so pale?" Cana questioned.
"W-wait, where's his magic?" Bisca asked.
"You're right! I-I can't sense any magic from him!" Elfman said
"How the hell did that happen?" Macao asked shocked.
Natsu came running out of one of the halls and rushed over and then looked over the gasping man in his friend's arms with a panicked expression before he sensed the magic signature over his body. He was appalled by the sight, but stayed silent. Naruto gulped "Aria. The Elemental Four Mage. He did this!" Naruto said.
Gray looked at his friend "What?" he asked.
"He took Master's magic somehow! I don't know how but he did! We need to fall back now." Naruto said. While the Mages from Fairy Tail panicked with their guild master incapacitated, the Phantom Mages slowly started to advance forward with evil grins on their faces.
"Your sorry ass excuse for a master got his magic blown away. Now what are you going to do?" Most of the Fairy Mages looked over as Gajeel stepped out from the horde of Phantom Mages with a slightly bloody grin, evidence from his quick skirmish with Natsu. He spit some blood off to the side before smiling, "Looks like you losers are alone now without the big boss to guide you. So whatcha gonna do now?" Gajeel asked again.
Natsu snarled his teeth in anger while pushing himself back on his feet. The remaining Phantom Mages started smiling as they got their second wind while the Fairy Mages were concerned about the wellbeing of their master. They kept the stalemate going for a few more moments.
"We have to retreat." Erza said repeating Naruto's statement. The Fairies looked back at Erza in shock as she spoke with a reluctant choice "The Master is incapacitated and we have people that are injured. We need to regroup and return to the guild." she said.
They looked at the scarlet-haired Mage like she had grown a second head. They questioned, "W-what are you talking about Erza?" Cana asked the redhead.
"We can't leave!" Bisca said.
"We have to." Erza said.
"Bullshit!" Natsu yelled while standing up to her, "These guys hurt Levy, Jet, and Droy! And now they got Gramps! They wrecked our guild! They insulted Fairy Tail! WE CAN'T JUST RUN!" he roared out.
Erza rounded on the teen, "AND WE CAN'T JUST KEEP DROPPING LIKE FLIES WHILE TRYING TO FIGHT THEM!" Erza yelled back at Natsu, her left eye watering slightly at the sight of their master and having to run from the fight. She steeled herself as she continued, "We won't get anywhere if we leave the injured to suffer and not think our next move through! They're going to pay for what they did...but we can't do it today." she said.
The Fairies all looked at Erza before they slowly realized she was right. Makarov was down and suffering, a few of their own were injured, and Phantom had the home field advantage with their larger numbers in their base. They were gonna defeat this guild...but they couldn't do it now. Naruto started walking past Erza with Makarov in his arms and looked back at all of them "There's a time to fight, and a there's a time to run. And right now we can't risk a fight. She's right. It's time to go." he said and he walked out of the large hole in the wall with Kurama behind him.
The Fairies all looked at each other before they started heading out through the holes they had made earlier. Natsu was standing there seething in anger as Happy landed on his shoulder "Natsu..." Gray's hand grabbed Natsu's shoulder and he looked back at the Maker Mage as he shook his head, "C'mon man... the Master needs us." Natsu gritted his teeth and looked back at Gajeel as the rest of Phantom Lord started chasing after them while taunting them. The two Dragon Slayers shared a look before the pink-haired man reluctantly turned around and followed the rest of his friends back to their guild.
As the Phantom Lord guild cheered and helped their beaten friends up, Gajeel just stood there with a disappointed glare and frowned. He clicked his teeth
"Well... there goes all the fun." Gajeel said as he watched Naruto and the others run away.
Alzack and Bisca stood at the side of the room inside Porlyusica's treehouse as she examined their resting master. She was silently looking over him and contemplating his status as the two gunners looked between each other. Bisca spoke up, "Um Porlyusica, is he going to be all right? What wrong with him?" she asked the elderly woman.
The old woman stood back up and sighed before facing the two young Mages "The fool has gone and lost all his magic, he'll be lucky to survive." she said.
"What?!" the two gunners yelled in shock.
"Stop yelling!" she replied, causing them to jump back in fright at what she might do to them in anger. She grumbled and stood back up before walking over to her work station.
Alzack recovered first and asked, "H-how did something like this happen?" he asked.
"A very powerful magic. All of his magic was forced out of his body and scattered into the air, leaving him as a hollowed out shell. Using up all of your magical power usually leaves someone exhausted but when it is all dispersed from your body in a matter of seconds, especially the ridiculous amount of power this buffoon has, then it leaves you weak and incapable of moving." she said.
Bisca and Alzack looked at their master in worry as he slept in the bed. Bisca looked at the old woman and asked, "Will he be okay?" in a worried tone.
She looked at Bisca "His magical power will return to him but since it was forced out like that then it will take longer than usual. He won't be moving for some time. He can stay here while I try to help the process along but I can't promise he'll be awake anytime soon. I would appreciate it if you left so i could help him recover." she ordered.
Nodding their heads they quickly ran off to let the woman do her work. She sighed as she looked at Makarov, "You really are a old fool Makarov, nearly dying on me, shame on you. And to think I married an idiot." she said with a smile before she leaned over him and stretched her arms out to where they were over Makarov, she then muttered a spell that would help Makarov revor faster so he could help in the fight to come and her hands glowed white with the magic of healing.
"DAMMIT!" Elfman roared as he slammed his fists down on a table and broke it into pieces after a crestfallen Lucy had told them the news. He was seething "They came here and attacked our friend while we were away! No man should ever do something so cowardly!" Elfman said with rage in his eye.
"Calm down man!" Loke said while trying to calm the large Take Over Mage down, "Just calm down." he repeated himself.
"We can't!" Natsu yelled in agreement with Elfman's ferocity as he started spitting fire, "We were this close to destroying those bastards! And then we had to run away! We could have stayed and finished the job! I would've handled it all while you guys got gramps to safety-" Natsu said but was interrupted.
"Shut up you idiot!" Gray yelled while facing the pink-haired Mage, "None of us are happy about retreating, especially not Erza! But gramps was hurt, we were all injured. We got too anxious and we ran in there unprepared. Next time we get them we'll be ready but for now that was the right choice. We needed to run." Gray said.
Natsu was panting in anger before he took a deep breath and started to calm down. Loke and Elfman looked between each other before they started to calm themselves to think clearly. They were all walking around silently before Loke looked around, "They came here even when they knew the rest of us were gonna attack their guild. What were they trying to do here?" he asked.
"Who cares!" Natsu answered while shaking his head,
"Maybe they were gonna try and ambush us or something or-" he was saying but a whimpering voice interrupted him.
"It was me." Lucy said.
The four men looked at Lucy as the girl hung her head in shame. She spoke with a defeated and empty tone, "It was me they came after... me. I was all they wanted." she said dejectedly.
Gray looked at her in confusion, "What are you talking about?" he asked her.
"The people that came here... said they were coming to take me back for a job. They destroyed our guild and hurt Levy-chan and the others to get our attention. They were paid to come take me back. The only person that would go to such means like this to get what he wanted is my father... I ran away from home... and he wants me back... so he asked Phantom to come take me back to him." she said.
Lucy pulled her legs up on her seat and wrapped her arms around her knees while her sobs mixed with her words, "I'm so sorry. I-it's all my fault. The guild. Levy-chan. Master. They're all hurt because of me. If I didn't come to Fairy Tail-if I didn't run away from home-none of this would have happened." Her voice started to crack as her tears filled up her eyes, "I-" she sobbed but couldn't finish.
She felt a hand land on her head and gently pat her hair. She lifted herself out of her knees and looked up at Natsu with tear-filled eyes. He shook his head, "It doesn't matter why they did this to us, to you. All that matters is that we make them pay. And none of this is your fault, you got it? So don't you ever say you wish you didn't come to this guild. Because you would be the only one who would ever even think that." Natsu said.
"You're our friend and will be till the end Lucy. Our family. So don't you forget it." Natsu said to the crying blond. Lucy looked up at Natsu in surprise before looking at the others around her who nodded in agreement.
She felt another wave of tears started to fill up her eyes before she wiped them away and nodded with a sob, "Okay." she said wiping her tears away with a smile.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You're shitting me, right? The old geezer went and got himself K.O.'d by Phantom! That's fucking priceless!" Laxus laughed as Cana glared angrily at the holographic image of Laxus projected inside the Communication Lacrima.
Mira continued the call "Laxus, the guild is in danger. We need you to-" Mira said but was interrupted.
"O-oh wait, tell me what he looked like when he was beat! I bet it was priceless!" Laxus laughed.
"Laxus, stop laughing and come to the guild as fast as you can!" Cana said defensively while yelling at the Lacrima
"Your grandfather is hurt and we all need your help!" Mira said.
Laxus' smile faded and turned into a small glare before a cocky grin filled its place, "What did the blond dragon Earthshaker do while the shit hit the fan? Or how about Erza? How about Mystogan? Did he finally come out of that hole he was hiding in? Did the little babies finally step out from the old man's shadow and try to take charge? I bet that worked out perfectly for all of you." Laxus said.
"Dammit Laxus you bastard we need you here!" Cana yelled furiously while facing the S-Class Mage through the hologram, "Lucy's being targeted by Phantom and we're desperate for help since we're forced to call you for help! Just get over here already!" she said to Laxus.
"Lucy? Who the fuck is Lucy?" Laxus thought for a minute until realization crossed his face, "Oh wait, you mean the new gal, right? Why the hell are you guys even bothering trying to help out someone who's barely a part of the guild. That's your problem. You get attached way too easily. It's shit like this that makes Phantom think they can come and attack whenever they want. You losers are weak. And until you can actually learn to stand on your own two feet, I'll take my sweet time coming-" Laxus didn't get to finish as-
*CRACK*
The Lacrima was knocked off its pedestal and shattered against the ground after Mira had suddenly knocked it off, ending the call abruptly. Cana looked at the barmaid's shaking shoulders, "Mira what's the matter?"Cana asked her.
"How?! How can he say something like that?" Mira cried with pain and sadness filling her voice, "He's a part of our guild! Our friend! He should understand what we're going through but he's just sitting back and watching us suffer! And we can't do anything about it! Master is hurt because we couldn't help him! We're all suffering and we can't do anything about it!" Mira's voice started to crack as she lowered her head, "I-I can't do anything. O-our guild is-is-" she started to cry.
Cana reached out and held Mira's shoulder before she turned around and faced her friend, her big blue eyes filled with tears and her whole body shaking in fear. Cana felt a tear come to her eye as well and embraced her friend "It's all right Mira don't cry." Cana said to her. Mira leaned into Cana's hug and cried into her friend's shoulder as the weight of their current situation started to bear down on them. When she was done Cana sat back in her seat at the table and looked down at the cards she was using in a futile attempt to locate Mystogan. She groaned and swiped them all off the table before covering her face with her hands and screaming into them.
Naruto was almost to the guildhall when he felt the ground rumbling. Looking up his eyes widened in shock and fear at what he saw. He began to run as fast as his feet could carry him. He had left Kurama back at the guild with Mira so he could do what needed to be done with planning for the battle, but he didn't plan for this.
When he reached the guild he saw the others come running out to see what the commotion was about.
Erza slammed the bathroom door open before she ran to look out the window. Her eyes widened, "Oh my god." she whispered. Erza dashed out the door towards the patch of land behind the guild. As she ran up the stairs, she saw everyone else was running outside to see what the commotion was all about. But when she ran outside a sense of horror and hopelessness enveloped them all.
Walking through the lake behind Magnolia was the guild hall of Phantom Lord, supported on some kind of spider-leg mechanism that carried them over the water. With each step it took, it shook the entire town and everyone in it. Finally, reaching close to the shore, the colossal structure stopped its sporadic trek to Magnolia and had basically parked right behind the Fairy Tail guild hall.
The Fairies were looking up at the mobile guild in shock and horror as they tried to comprehend how tenacious the Phantom guild was at continuing the fight as quickly as possible. Gray shook his head, "T-that thing could move all this time." he said shocked.
Elfman was shaking "It's a mobile guild." he said as he looked at the structure.
Tears were filling up in Lucy's eyes, "T-that's shouldn't be possible." she said as she took a step back. Mira covered her mouth and Cana took a step back in fright.
Erza was gritting her teeth "They would go this far to destroy us." the redhead exclaimed. Naruto who was now standing with his friend was silent at the sight of the massive moving building.
A ring echoed from the moving guild and a voice spoke through the speaker, "Hello young and esteemed members of Fairy Tail. I am the guild master of Phantom Lord, Jose Porla. Earlier today many of you came all the way to Oak Town to wreak havoc on our guild. And while I must commend you for your tenacity, as many of you have already noticed we are not confined to just the one guild hall. Now this whole silly feud was only a method we decided to take in an effort to find and return one Lucy Heartfilia to her dear worried father. And in an attempt to end all this silly fighting, I wish to offer you all an ultimatum. Forfeit Lucy Heartfilia to us...and I promise this little 'war' can come to a stop." Jose said to them.
Lucy eyes widened in horror after Jose finished stating his terms. Her mind started to race and she realized this was her chance to stop the fighting. To stop anyone else from getting hurt because of her. She hesitantly took a step forward, "I-I-" she stuttered out.
"NEVER!" Natsu yelled at the top of his lungs in anger while pointing at the giant moving guild, "WE'LL NEVER GIVE LUCY TO YOU BASTARDS!" he roared which was soon repeated by everyone else.
"FUCK YEAH!"
"THAT'S RIGHT!"
"SHE'S OUR FAMILY THROUGH AND THROUGH!"
"WE'D RATHER DIE THAN HAND HER OVER TO BOTTOM FEEDING FILTH LIKE YOU!"
"YEAH TAKE YOUR OFFER AND GO TO HELL!"
Lucy watched and listened as everyone denied his offer and defended her. Tears started welling up in her eyes and she covered her mouth in a futile attempt to stop the sobs. The speaker rang out, "Very well then. I suppose we must take some of the more drastic measures from here." The guild started to let out a loud mechanical whirring as a gate started to open on the front. A long, massive cannon slowly started to slide out of it and aim for the shore, the guild, and everyone in front of it.
"This, as I am sure many of you have already guessed, is the almighty Jupiter Cannon. Now I would hate to have to actually use this on all of you...but I promised I would bring that girl back to her father. And I am a man of my word." Jose told them. The magic started gathering at the barrel of the cannon, ("Three.") a mechanical voice counted out.
"ARE YOU CRAZY?! YOU'LL DESTROY THE TOWN!" someone shouted.
("Two.") the voice counted down again.
The Fairy Mages realized that Phantom Lord was only using this job opportunity to finally take Fairy Tail down once and for all. They didn't care about any job. They didn't care about bringing Lucy back to her father. Because they were willing to risk killing her along with a part of the town just to destroy their guild and their members. Erza swiped her arm back at everyone in the guild "RUN!" she yelled out to them.
They followed her command and started retreating towards the guild to try and escape from the incoming blast. A few of them stopped and yelled at the redhead as she charged forward while her whole body glowed,
"ERZA! NO! YOU'LL DIE!" Gray yelled out. Naruto was frozen in place. He just stared up at the Jupiter Cannon as it nearly reached its breaking point and prepared to fire. He stood there silently as everyone else retreated back around him and yelled at Erza to come back. He watched as a man crazy with power was prepared to kill everyone he cared about and destroy part of the town just to get his way.
Naruto finally came back to reality and watched as Erza kept running forward while she equipped her Adamantine Armor over herself. She screamed as she prepared to take the full blast by herself and save everyone from danger. ("One.") the mechanical voice counted out. Erza charged forward while screaming. She ignored the warnings from everyone else and prepared for the blast that she was about to take. She kept sprinting forward with her sturdiest armor over her body... But she realized she suddenly couldn't take another step forward.
She looked back just in time to see Naruto had appeared behind her and grabbed the collar of her armor to stop her. She suddenly felt herself being lifted off her feet and tossed several meters back as the Dragon Slayer continued to charge forward in her place. She landed in the sand and watched in horror as Naruto charged forward. She pulled herself back up and screamed "NAAAARRRRUUUUTTTTOOOO!" out in fright.
("Fire.) the mechanical voice said.
And with that, the Jupiter Cannon fired its blast and a massive concentration of magical power started soaring towards the shore to blast away the guild. Naruto took a deep breath and gave a roar as he drew his right hand back and surged his magic to the point it became a tangible white cover across his body. As the blast neared him he ignored the screams and shouts for him to move out of the way as his arm bulged with raw power that could easily destroy the world. As it finally reached him he thrust his fist forward and a monumental crack appeared in front of his fist. The world was shown a sight that would not be forgotten. Naruto was holding off a blast by the jupiter cannon with one fist, his right leg was bent forward while his left leg was pulled back to help brace him from flying off as he blocked a S-Rank Magic Power with his fist alone.
Powerful waves of energy from both attacks flew into the air causing large rocks as well as large globs of water flooded the air around Naruto as he clashed single handedly against the Jupiter cannon drawing attention from both sides where everyone went wide eyed at the sight of the extremely high waves of energy that shot past the top of the tree's around them. However if that was all that it took, then it was wrong as Naruto battled the jupiter cannon, his friends went wide eyed as they were sent flying from the powerful shockwaves that came out of nowhere.
Those that weren't affected shouted out for the others that had been sent flying as they braced for impact due to the powerful winds, "STAY AWAY FROM HIM, IT'S TO DANGEROUS!" a member of Fairy Tail shouted out.
The blast from Jupiter stayed put and clashed with the unmovable blonde's shockwave and had began to slowly die down while a massive blast of wind flooded the entire area. The Fairy Mages were nearly blown back by the force of the clash of force over Naruto's mediocre defense as the water started to ripple and make waves from the resulting crash.
Everyone watched in shock, awe, fright, and fear as Naruto slowly got pushed back all the while he was holding elbow to unleash a quake to combat the magic energy blast from the cannon with his bare hand alone. Naruto could feel his whole body, mainly his fist being hurt from the raw energy, crying out in pain as he continued to block the Jupiter's attack. He scrunched his nose and narrowed his eyes and stepped forward causing the ground to crater underneath as he did, while he begun pushing the attack back just a little bit as he started making space against it. Everyone watched in disbelief as Naruto actually begun to push back raw magic from the cannon shot by himself and protected them from danger. Until... the explosion of power finally died down.
However, while the Jupiter cannon's power was finished, Naruto's was certainly not. It didn't last as long as it was used mainly to combat the blast from the Jupiter Cannon, but it was still powerful in its own right. The explosion blew everyone back into the ground, blasted all the water away from the shore, and even caused the backlash of the blast to incinerate the Jupiter Cannon's barrel.
The explosion started to subside and the ringing disappeared from their ears. The flare and light started to die down as well as time passed. The Fairy Mages were pulling themselves back up and looking at the large scorched area that covered part of the shore and beach as the waves came crashing back down. The Fairies stood up and we're looking around desperately for any sign of their friend after his heroic act of sacrifice. Erza stood back up and changed into her base armor before slowly turning around to look at the guild hall. There was a massive hole in the back of the structure and it was still settling after the blast had blown something through it.
Her eyes widened before she made a mad dash towards the hole with Natsu and Kurama at her heels as he cried out for his brother figure "NARUTO!" in fear that the man had died. The members of the guild all looked in the same direction as Erza dashed through the crowd and towards the guild. Mira gasped in shock before she started following and Cana came not long after. Erza ran through the hole in their guild and looked in horror at Naruto's severely injured form. He had gruesome burns and lacerations over all the visible parts of his body, smoke still coming off of him from the blast.
Most of his clothes were nothing more than tattered cloth at this point, his jacket and boots were blasted away while his pants were burnt up to the knee. His eyes had rolled into the back of his head to just show the whites. Erza kneeled down to his side and just looked at him in horror as Mira and Cana arrived a second later. Mira gasped in shock as tears filled her eyes and Natsu kneeled by his side. He leaned down and placed his ears against his chest to try and find a sign of life. His eyes widened before he placed his hands against his chest and started pumping, "One, two, three, four. Come on bro wake up." he said as he leaned down and started giving him mouth-to-mouth in an effort to resuscitate him.
He went back to giving him compressions, "One, two, three, four." he counted out. The Fairy Mages watched from their spots on the shore as the blond continued giving the unresponsive Naruto CPR. Some of them started shaking their heads and tears even started forming in their eyes as they expected the worse was going to happen. Tears started filling Natsu's eyes but he kept trying as he started compressions again, "O-one, two, three, four. Dammit this wasn't supposed to happen." he said and leaned down and started giving mouth-to-mouth again. Why did this happen, why did this have to happen again, and to Naruto no less...
"*GAK*" Naruto coughed as he pushed the blood that filled his lungs out to fill them with fresh air.
Naruto spit up more blood into Natsu's mouth before he started coughing violently with more blood covering his mouth. After a moment his head fell back again this time breathing heavily, "T-thanks man... that hurt like a bitch..." he said before he chuckled at the thought. Natsu couldn't help but gag from the taste of the blood in his mouth and started to spit it out as the taste was embedded on his tongue. They all watched in unbelievable relief as their friend was revived from his moment of crisis. Erza looked up at Naruto with unbelievable joy as the Quake Dragon Slayer coughed up some more and started wiping his mouth before he sat up.
Natsu gave a glare towards Naruto "To be honest I should've let you die for doing something so stupid. However seeing what you did made me change my mind." he stated to the blonde. Mira enveloped her friend in a tight hug, so glad he had saved their friend/brother figure from the imminent danger he was in.
"I must be honest, I did not expect one of you to sacrifice yourselves like that. And it to be 'Fairy Tail's Earthshaker and Strongest man no less, the stories about him are just as terrifying as I've heard. Truly the power of a Dragon Slayer like him is utterly world defying. Truly the young man deserves his title of Strongest Man in the World if he can hold off the Jupiter Cannon with his bare hand on his own." Jose said in a surprised, and sort of respectful, voice.
Massive magic circles started covering the mobile guild and black specters started flying out. The Fairy Mages faced towards the Phantom Lord guild as Jose's voice rang out once more "One last chance...surrender Lucy Heartfilia...or die with the next attack that happens in fifteen minutes." Jose said. Erza lowered her head over Natsu as she had almost just lost the man she considered friend like everybody else. Her guild was more than destroyed now. Her friends were nearly killed. Naruto had nearly died saving them. Their master was out of commission. And this man still wanted Lucy...
He thought...he could just walk away...from all of this? Erza raised her head with a furious, maddening rage burning in her eyes. She sprinted off the ground, ran through the crowd before she emerged in front of the rest of her guild. She gritted her teeth, gripped her sword in her hand, and yelled while aiming it towards Phantom Lord-
"ATTACK!" she yelled in fury
"UWOOHHHH!" everyone yelled out as the Fairies charged.
There was no more room for hesitation.
They didn't care whether Phantom had larger weapons or that some of them were still injured. What they had done had gone too far.
Their rage had built up until its breaking point.
No matter what happened to them, Phantom Lord would fall on this day.
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war.
Naruto stood up and clenched his fists as he looked at the Jupiter Cannon with a plan to keep his family safe from the impending harm that was sure to come if they did nothing.
"Come on boy's we have a cannon to take out." Naruto said as he looked at the two cats that had rage in their eyes while Naruto eyed the giant cannon.
"Aye sir." Happy yelled out as he used his magic to start flying. Kurama picked Naruto up and flew off while Happy spared a look back at his friends who stayed back to protect the home they had known for years.
