E.R.7. has arrived at the guild, but there's really only three of them attacking the guild. They came for Natalia. Natalia looked towards each one of them and was able to identify each one of them.
"So this is Fairy Tail? I was expecting something to look more impressive since they defeated E.R.6." A woman said as she adjusted her glasses. She wore fishnet leggings and heels with a black dress that had long sleeves and stopped at around her thighs that also showed some cleavage. She also wore black gloves and blonde hair.
"Kallie!" Natalia said.
"So what? We're stronger than them anyway. These guys don't look that tough to me." One was a guy that had dark grey spikey hair. He wore a suit with the jacket opened.
"Jaccu!" Natalia said.
"It doesn't matter. We're here for only one reason." The third wore a suit as well with him wearing a black dress shirt and white tie. He also had orange hair shaped like flames.
"Rod!" Natalia said.
"Who are you?! Are you guys from E.R.?" Natsu questioned.
"Indeed we are. We are three members of E.R.7." Rod said. "I'll be blunt and get directly to the point. We demand that you hand over the one known as Natalia. Do that and things won't have to get bad for you." Natsu wasn't listening as he just jumped right at them.
"Things got bad for you when you just trashed our guild and attacked us!" Natsu said as he had some fire form around his fist and was about to attack. Natsu tossed it forward, but Rod acted quickly and was able to grab Natsu by the wrist. He diverted the attack and kicked Natsu right in the gut. That kick held a lot of force behind it. It could have pierced right through Natsu's gut if there was any more power to it. Rod hit Natsu across the face and had him slide against the ground.
"The dude had a lot of guts making a move like that. Doesn't that hot bastard know who we are?" Jaccu said.
"Let the poor fool try. I wasn't expecting this to go without a fight." Kallie said. Natsu managed to get back on his feet. He was surprised by what Rod did, but that wasn't stopping him.
"Not a bad punch you threw there, but is that really all you can do?" Natsu questioned. Rod didn't make any sort of movement, but he suddenly disappeared. He actually teleported behind Natsu and drove his foot right against Natsu's back and sent him flying right outside the guild.
"Don't try to sound so cocky." Rod said as he walked right outside. "I know fully well who you are. You're the infamous Salamander. Your power and reckless behavior is pretty well known. Although, I find it hard to believe looking at you now."
"You want to make something of it?" Natsu said. Rod did as he teleported again and slammed his foot right down on Natsu's head and held him down. Natsu tried to get back up.
"Don't even think about it." Rod said as he held his fingers like a gun and used bullet magic to shoot right at Natsu and Natsu felt like actual bullets were piercing through him.
"Natsu!" Lucy shouted. Natalia stood there and watched as she heard Natsu's screams. She knows to well of what Rod is like.
'This is bad. Each one of E.R.7. is dangerous in their own way, but Rod is the deadliest of all of them.' Natalia thought.
"That's it! No one is going to pummel Salamander around, but me!" Gajeel said as he was ready to fight as well as some other members of the guild. Jaccu intercepted all that fighting spirit.
"No you don't." Jaccu said as he took a familiar stance. "Iron-Make: Shotgun!" Jaccu thrusted out his hand and shot out pieces of iron like they were bullets. Some members tried to take cover, but some weren't so lucky.
"No way. He uses maker magic like Gray, but he uses iron instead of ice." Gajeel said as he kept Levy down. Kallie moved herself as she appeared to just slip past some members so quickly.
"Too easy." Kallie said as she adjusted her glasses and suddenly they all dropped like dominos. Kallie flipped back and spun around on her hands and slammed her legs against some of the other members.
"That's it!" Natsu said. "Fire Dragon Talon!" He tried swinging his leg back, but Rod moved out of the way. He grabbed Natsu's ankle and slammed him against the ground. Rod tossed Natsu in the air and kicked him right in the gut. Natsu was sent flying, but Rod suddenly appeared next to him and kicked him back to the guild.
"Enough of this!" Laxus said as he turned into lightning and tried to attack, but Jaccu was quicker.
"Iron-Make: Prison!" Jaccu formed a cage that Laxus got caught in and it was so small that he could barely move around in it.
"The hell? Let me out!" Laxus said as he tried to get out.
"I have this!" Gajeel said as he was about to strike, but Kallie moved faster than he did and slammed her knee right against the back of his head and knocked him down.
"Gajeel!" Levy shouted. Kallie was about to strike her too, but Lily stood in the way and took the kick for her.
"How dare you treat Laxus like that?" Jaccu looked up and saw the Thunder Legion about to attack him.
"Nice try." Jaccu said. Each member of the Thunder Legion attacked, but their attacks were deflected by the iron and they ended up in cages themselves. Natsu tried to get back up and continued fighting, but Rod kicked Natsu under the chin to lift him in the air. Rod jumped up and pounded Natsu around before he grabbed him in a scissor hold and tossed him to the ground. Rod held out his fingers and a magic circle appeared around them.
"Bullet Magic: Roulette!" Rod unleashed multiple attacks around in a circle and blasted Natsu down without even giving him the chance to get up.
'This is bad!' Natalia thought. 'Rod isn't even giving Natsu the chance to fight back. He won't stop until Natsu is a lifeless corpse.'
"How can they strike everyone down like this?" Wendy said.
"They're much stronger than E.R.6. was." Lucy said.
"That doesn't matter. Strike them down for hurting our family!" Makarov said.
"Too slow! Iron-Make: Mallet!" Jaccu formed an iron mallet and slammed it near them. Kallie used that as a distraction to strike each one of them down herself.
"No! Wendy!" Carla said.
"You witch!" Happy said, but she didn't even left them out.
"Water Slicer!" Juvia tried to stop them, but Kallie jumped over her attack. Kallie kicked her down, but when she noticed Juvia was made out of water, she just kept striking so she couldn't regenerate herself so quickly. Rod stopped his attacking and Natsu tried to get back up, but Rod slammed his foot right down on Natsu's back and it appeared to have knocked him right out. To make sure, Rod lifted Natsu by the head and stabbed Natsu in the gut with his bare hand. He let Natsu go and he dropped right to the ground. Natalia looked around. Everyone was hurt and could possibly die because of her. She was having flashbacks of another time all over again.
"Is this really the strongest guild in all of Fiore? I'm not impressed." Jaccu said. He looked out the door and it appeared Rod finished Natsu. "Rod, are you getting sloppy? We took on the whole guild while you were stuck with that little guy?"
"I saw it in his eyes with his first attack." Rod said. When he blocked Natsu's first attack, he looked into Natsu's eyes and saw what drives Natsu. "He had such passion in him. Fitting for a fire wizard. He had a fire in him that had to be put out."
"Numbers have a constant change in significance in battle." Kallie said. "We were able to pull it off because we were fast and efficient and that made it effective."
"Now for what we came here for." Rod said as he stepped forward to the guild, but he felt something holding him. He looked down and saw Natsu hold on his pants and still held the will to fight.
"Where are you going? We're not done." Natsu said as he glared right at Rod and it bothered him.
"It's pointless. You're already defeated." Rod said, but he held his fingers at him. "But if you want to die, it make no difference to me." Rod was charging up an attack to finish Natsu off. Natalia couldn't stand to watch this anymore. She hurried over to Rod and Natsu and kicked Natsu's hand off of Rod. The rain began to pour down as the moment turned into a sad and dark one.
"Natalia?" Natsu said.
"Just stop it." Natalia said. "There's no reason for this to go on. I'll go with you if you agree to leave every single member of the guild alive." Rod wasn't expecting that. It was a bold proposal.
"So now you decide to turn yourself in? Why the change of heart?" Rod said.
"I see no point in you beating them around. They have nothing to do with why I'm here and if you think you're going to find Eclear here, think again. I never saw anything that is connected to him." Natalia said.
"We were ordered to capture Natalia and bring her back with us." Kallie said. "I don't really see a problem with it. I think we can make that deal."
"Really? I want to beat these guys around some more." Jaccu said.
"Hold it. Natalia, you're not going anywhere with them." Natsu said as he tried to get back up.
"Don't even try, Natsu. These people will kill you if you get in their way." Natalia said.
"We don't care. You're a member of Fairy Tail now. We protect our own." Natsu said.
"Fairy Tail really means nothing to me." Natalia said and that was a surprise to some of them. "Have you forgotten why I joined Fairy Tail in the first place? I joined because you saved my life when I was ready to die. That's a debt that I believed can't go unpaid." She turned around to look Natalia right in the eyes to say this. "A life for a life. My debt is paid. I have no reason to stay here anymore."
"You can't really mean that." Natsu said. "You really just joined Fairy Tail because of some payment? Does it really mean nothing to you?" Natalia turned away as she really couldn't bring herself to say anything.
"Enough of this." Rod said. "We came here to get you. If this means you'll come along with us, we'll agree to this deal. We arrived here by train and our personal one is in the station. Let's go."
"Right." Natalia said as all of them were one the move.
"Wait. Natalia! You can't go with them. At least answer me!" Natsu said. "Natalia, stay here!"
"No." Natalia said. "This is the end. You'll never see me again." Natalia continued on with them and some of them couldn't believe she was really going.
"Notalia, come back!" Natsu shouted as she reached towards her, but now she might forever be out of reach. "Natalia!"
