Hello my fellow readers, writers, and people who have been enjoying this story so far, I'm back with yet another new chapter. In this chapter we'll be going over the events of episode 10 of Fairy tail titled Natsu vs. Erza with a few changes I'm sure you'll be able to see in the chapter itself. Without any further ado let's get this show on the road.

Ben's P.O.V.

We were outside the guild hall with Natsu and Erza getting ready for the fight that they had agreed to right before the whole mess with the Esienwald dark guild. While they were getting ready pretty much everyone was betting on which of them would win the fight which I wouldn't participate even if I had the money in this world to do so.

Lucy had just barely arrived for the fight and she said in shock "wait they're actually going through with it" and Mira just greeted her with her usual upbeat attitude. Her brother on the other hand Elfman I believe he was called said "if they value they're manhood then they better go through with it." Mira then corrected him "but Erza's not a man" and one of the older people in the guild said " but you got to admit she's manly."

Lucy then said "but aren't you afraid this fight will break apart our strongest team" and Grey said "what are you talking about our strongest team." Lucy then said "Erza, Natsu Ben, and you you're the four strongest wizards in the guild" and Grey said "We are" and then scoffed and said "yeah right what idiot fed you that lie."

Mira then burst into tears although I had a feeling, they were crocodile tears but it got Grey to say "oh you're not an idiot Mira." Lucy then said "smooth move Grey" and Elfman said "I'll give it to Natsu and Grey they're tough little dudes but neither of them are even close to being the strongest but there are guys in Fairy tail that are stronger than both of them combined like this guy" most likely referring to himself."

Lucy then deadpanned "didn't you get knocked out of the fight by both of them when I first got here" and that got him to lose some of his moxie almost immediately. Then another member who I believed was named Levy said "but calling Erza the strongest women in the guild is a pretty safe bet" and one of the guys who were always hanging around her said "between the guys it's a tough call but I'd put my money on Laxus or Mystogan."

Mira who was still crying said "all I meant was that they four of them work well together and have the best team chemistry of Fairy Tail." Lucy deadpanned again "this coming from the person who sent me on the mission to keep Natsu and Grey from killing each other when Erza wasn't around." Elfman stated "I got to say I'm pretty psyched to see how this fight turns our" and Grey added on "oh yeah I'm sure she'll end up mopping the floor with him."

After a little bit of talking between then Erza requipped into an armor that looked like it had been modeled after a dragon." the old guy from before said "that's flame empress armor that's a good choice against Natsu's magic." Another person who usually was in the backround said "now Natsu's attacks will only be half as effective" and another older person said "come on Erza at least give the kid a fighting chance."

Happy then went over to Cana who was holding the money for the bets and said "put me down for Erza in the first round. Lucy then said "you're betting against your own best friend" and Natsu said to Erza "wow flame empress that's good news for me that means I can turn up the heat as high as I want to." Makarov then called out "round one start" and Natsu immediately went charging at Erza with his fists encased in fire which Erza blocked with her sword and then counterattacked with a flaming swipe of her sword at Natsu which was easily dodged.

Natsu then tried to attack with a flaming kick which was blocked by one of her gauntlets of the armor and she knocked him away and started charging at him. However, Natsu quickly recovered in midair and shot a blast of fire at Erza from his mouth which she narrowly sidestepped. Natsu then sent the fire chasing after her which caused some of the members who were watching to almost be hit by the fire but it was narrowly avoided.

As they were preparing to swap what would have probably been massive attacks, they were interrupted by someone who looked like a frog clapping it's hands together. The frog person stepped into the circle of spectators and said "this fight is over can I have your attention please I have come here on behalf of the magic council."

While there were muttering amongst everyone Levy and the two guys were freaking out the most with that reveal. The frog person continued "As a result of the Esienwald incident a member of your guild has been charged with 11 counts of property damage while another has been charged with 5 counts of arson Erza Scarlet and Ben Tennyson you two are under arrest."

After what appeared to be a teleportation spell, we were teleported to a massive building that looked impressive even from what I had seen in my world. We were currently being led down one of the many halls by the frog person and our hands were in what appeared to be cuffs that prevented wizards from using their magic.

As we were being led down the hall the frog person stopped in the middle of the hallway and I saw a guy leaning against one of the many pillars who had blue hair, a red mark over his right eye from my perspective, and mostly white clothes with black likes down the sleeves and around the collar. I heard Erza gasp "Seigrain" and he said "it's been quite a while Erza please relax" seeing as she took up a bit of a combat pose as best as she could with her hands in the cuffs.

He said "I'm only here in spirit I'm sending this projection from Era in fact all the wrinkled faces in that courtroom are projections as well. We didn't think it necessary to be here for such a trivial matter" and Erza said "I see so you're the one who's behind this farce you make me sick." The guy Seigrain said "let's be civil I've always been a starch defender of Fairy Tail but the elders are worried the destruction of Clover will fall into their laps.

The only way to prevent that is to place the blame on someone else entirely two are their scapegoats" and Erza burst out "enough." Seigrain said "just a friendly warning in fact it's another matter altogether I wish to discuss with you" and he got close to her face and whispered something even I couldn't make out."

He then walked away and said "I must join my colleagues on the council I'll see you two shortly on the other side" and he faded away from view. The frog person who had been bowing the whole time looked up at Erza and said "oh wow you know some very important people" although Erza didn't respond and had just a faraway look on her face.

As we were in the courtroom, we were both directed to have a seat on one of the few benches in there and the frog person who escorted us walked away. As we were both sitting another frog person stated "this court will now come to order before us are the two defendants please take the stand Miss Scarlet." One of the older people on the council spoke up and said "Erza Scarlet you stand before the council to answer to charges that arose from the incident involving the dark guild Esienwald.

There charges include extensive damage to oshibana station, the collapse of the Ryusike Gorge railway bridge and the complete destruction of the Clover meeting hall. There are 11 charges of property damage against you according to eyewitness reports the perpetrator is described as heavy armored female wizard" and before the guy could finish what he was staying the wall behind us exploded.

As the smoke cleared it was revealed to be Natsu who was dressed in a very bad costume of Erza and he said "I'm the crazy lady in armor you old timers have been looking for. If you have a problem with how me and my guild do things you can fight me I'm the all powerful Erza" and he started getting too worked up for any real sense to come out of his mouth."

As he calmed down the guy who was reading off of the report just sighed and said "take them all away" and Erza said "I'm so sorry for this your honor" and I said "I am as well." Natsu looked at us and what are you two doing don't apologize I mean I'm Erza" and another frog person escorted us to a cell in what I assumed was the basement.

As the frog person left Erza addressed Natsu "words cannot express how angry I am with you right now the trial was just a formality" and Natsu seemed surprised by this as he said "seriously." Erza said "it was glorified specticial the council is using me as an example to everyone that if you break the law you'll be punished it helps them maintain order in the magical world."

Natsu finally got it "wait you mean this is all for show" and Erza said "they would have found us guilty and sent us home with just a slap on the wrist but thanks to you we're stuck in a jail cell." Natsu apologized and Erza responded with "it's okay I know you meant well" and then she slammed his head into her chestplate in what was suppose to be a show of affection but with the force she did it, it seemed like it would hurt.

(the next day)

After getting back to the guild hall Natsu was running around excited something about fresh air which honestly I didn't really get since everywhere had fresh air with the exception of polluted areas. After a little while Elfman asked Natsu "so Natsu are you going to finish going man to man with Erza" and Natsu said "oh yeah I forgot about that" and he challenged her while she was sitting at a table drinking a cup of tea.

She responded to his challenge "I'm not in the mood right now" but apparently all Natsu heard was her accepting his challenge because he engulfed his hands in flames and charged at her. She stood up and muttered something before punching Natsu right in the gut which was done with enough force to knock him out.

Pretty much everyone was laughing at how easily Natsu went down and at that moment I fell asleep but before I did, I saw that it looked like everyone in the guild hall was about to fall asleep. However, just as quickly as I fell asleep, I woke up but it felt like I had gotten a whole 8 hours or at least the side effects of that kind of sleep persisted and the only one still asleep was Natsu.

One of the guys who were always around Levy said "oh man was Mystogan here" and the other said "what a jerk" and Levy added on "does he have to put us to sleep every time he comes here." Lucy said "who's this Mystogan guy" and I said "I wouldn't mind knowing that myself" and Elfman said "well for starters he's a contender for Fairy Tail's strongest wizard."

Lucy said "wait really" and Grey said "yeah and for some reason he doesn't want anyone to see what he looks like so whenever he comes here to take a job, he casts a sleeping spell." Lucy said "that's kind of creepy" and Grey said "Master Makarov is the only one whose seen his face" and a voice from the second floor said "that's not true I've seen him before."

Elfman said the guy's name out loud "Laxus" and one of the older guys said "wow talk about rare" and another older person said "you're never here." Grey then said "and here's another contender" and from the tone of his voice it sounded like Grey didn't really like Laxus. Laxus then said "Mystogan is just a little shy you should respect his privacy."

Natsu the woke up finally from the sleeping spell and being knocked out by Erza and then challenge Laxus "alright Laxus you and me right now." Grey said "getting your butt kicked once today wasn't enough" and Laxus added on "yeah if you can't even win against the redhead, you shouldn't even bother with me."

Erza then called up to him with anger in her voice "what did you say" and Laxus stated "I'm saying that I'm the guild's strongest wizard." Natsu then said "then come down here and prove it" and Laxus threw back at him "you come to me little man" and Natsu was about to charge up the stairs to fight him only to be slammed into the ground by Makarov's enlarged fist.

Makarov said "you're not allowed on the second floor Natsu at least not yet" and Laxus said "I think you made him grumpy" and Natsu was still struggling to get up the stairs even with Makarov's fist on top of him. Makarov said "that's enough out of you Laxus." Laxus said "the strongest one in the guild isn't a chick or some hooded weirdo you want to know what the strongest wizard looks like you're looking right at him."

I said "you know that's funny I thought for a second you were talking about yourself but I guess there's someone invisible behind you because honestly you don't look all that tough." Laxus said "what did you just say to me" and I retorted "yeah see I don't really make a habit of repeating myself to others but I'll do it this time you can't be the strongest wizard."

He then jumped down and said "oh you want to see just how strong I really am" and as he started charging at me, I quickly transformed into Diamondhead and caught his fist which seemed to be charged with electricity. He looked shocked and said "how did you catch my fist" and I said "because as a diamond-based lifeform, I conduct electricity" and I put my other hand on his shoulder which caused him to be electrocuted however that didn't even seem to have any effect on him whatsoever. He then just punched me with a lightning charged fist again only before I could catch it, it landed right on my chest which caused him to recoil after probably breaking his hand or at least a few fingers.

He recoiled in pain from the punch that he shot at me and as I was about to retaliate Makarov slammed a enlarged hand down in front of us and said in a very stern voice "that's enough." As he raised his hand I stared down Laxus as he did the same to me but after a tense moment Laxus just walked over to the request board and walked out after grabbing a request.

I then transformed back and I heard Makarov mutter "what am I going to do with that boy" and I said "sorry if things got out of hand there, I just don't get along with people who try to attack me." Makarov said "no that's quite alright Laxus has been like this since I had to evict his father from the guild."

(That night)

After pretty much everyone had headed home for the night the only people that remained in the guild hall were Lucy, Mira, and me. I was sitting on one of the stools with one away from Lucy so she wouldn't think I was too close and she seemed deep in thought. She then said "Mira let me ask you something what did the master mean when he said we're not allowed up on the second floor."

Mira then explained "that area is reserved for the advanced members of the guild the jobs on the request board up there make the ones on the one down here look like child's play in comparison. They're called S-class quests" and Lucy parroted "S-class" and Mira continued "jobs so dangerous that one wrong move could be your last with that risk comes a higher reward.

Master Makarov hand picks those who he thinks can handle those jobs there are only 5 people in the whole guild who are considered S-class that includes Laxus, Mystogan, and Erza. I wouldn't worry about it if I were you Lucy in my opinion there's no amount of money that's worth risking your life over" and Lucy said "yeah no kidding."

After a little while longer Lucy left and Mira shortly followed so I headed to the storage room that I had made into a living area for myself until I could get a place of my own. However, as I was about to close the door to the storage room something caught my eye a flying figure that looked a lot like a cat with wings came through the window on the second floor.

I decided that this wasn't good since when Happy was involved in a plan Natsu usually was in on it or not far behind. I left the guild hall through the front doors and then I transformed into Chamalien and followed Happy to wherever he was going and I passed Lucy on the way. I saw Happy fly in through a window and I decided to perch myself up on the wall with the power of Chamalien to see what was going on.

After Lucy got back since I had a feeling that this was her apartment my suspicison was confirmed and she almost instantly kicked Natsu in the face when she saw that he had pretty much broken into her apartment. After some talk of working out and then I finally heard what I was waiting to hear Natsu said "I've made a decision our team is ready for the big time S-class."

Happy then said "yeah S-class" and he was holding up the flier he stole and Lucy said "how did you get that" and I decided to make my presence known and said "because he flew in through the window on the second floor and grabbed it." I slithered into the apartment and transformed back and Lucy said "how did I not see you when I was coming in."

I said "the form I just was has the powers to blend in with backgrounds around him she's pretty much invisible unless you see his shadow on something. Natsu then said "since this is our first S-class quest we decided to go with the lowest amount on the board but 7 million is still a lot. Lucy being the voice of reason as usual with Natsu said "if the master knew we had this job request he'd be furious."

Natsu said "yeah but I think he'll end up be pretty proud of us if we manage to pull it off" and Lucy sat down and said "you know this is the dumbest thing you've ever done Natsu. If you want to rise up through the ranks in the guild you should follow the rules" and he complained "we're never going to make S-class with that attitude."

I then said "Natsu a saying from my world cheaters never prosper" and he said "what do you mean by that." I rebutted "since you took this job request without permission that's kind of cheating the guilds rules" and he said "come on you've said that you like helping people all the time back in your world don't you want to help these people" and I looked at the job request and saw that in big bold letters it said help us.

I said "I still don't know" and Natsu said "come on it's a simple request" and I said "if it's so simple then why is it ranked as an S-class quest." He said "because it's on a cursed island" as if that was nothing at all and I said "from what you can tell what do they want us to do since I can't really read these runes or whatever" and he said "the person who posted the job just wants us to destroy the reason for the curse" and I said "did it say what the reason for the curse was."

Natsu said "it doesn't say anymore it just says that the client will give us more details when we get there" and I sighed and said "I'll probably regret this later but I'm coming with if for no other reason then to make it so you two don't get yourselves killed." Lucy said "Wait who said I was going" and Happy then chimed in "oh yeah I saw that they're offering a celestial gate key as part of the reward."

Lucy then snatched the request out of Happy's paws and said in shock "wow a golden key" and then let her excitement die down for a moment and said "I want to go on record as saying this is a very bad idea but I'm in."

Yet another chapter done in the next chapter we'll be going over the events of the episode 11 of Fairy tail titled the cursed island. Don't forget to leave a comment if you have any question and I'll get around to answering them in the next chapter in the first author's note. Anyway I don't have anything else to add so until next time this is Diamondholder signing off.
