Authors note: alright I gave you people two lemons so now I'm ready to get to some action, and by some I mean A LOT of action.
To answer questions, yes there will be some big time battles to come, very soon actually.
Also to the guy that called my story "Lucy fan boy trash" and called me a faggot. I appreciate the time it took for you to put in your input. But next time can you actually READ my story considering I haven't mentioned Lucy in the past 4 or so chapters. I don't mind someone stating their opinion of my story since this is mainly used as stress relief from football and my college classes, but at least read the story before you jump to conclusions.
Also I apologize for my grammar mistakes and I will guarantee that there WILL be more. I'm sorry, I will proof read but most likely I will still miss some.
But ANYWAYS thanks for all the reviews! And I'm going to start the Tartarus ark. I haven't read the Manga so I'm completely winging this on my own time line.
Also I'm thinking of using a slightly different writing style, tell me what you all think.
Oh and I don't own fairy tail.

Plans in Motion
*boom boom clank*
*boom boom clank*
*boom boom clank* "Heave! Easy does it now!"
*boon* *boom* *boom*
"Mmm what the hell is going on?" Ultear groaned as she rolled over on Natsu's bed, covering her head with a pillow. "So noisy." She mumbled as she tried to fall back asleep.
*BOOOOM* came a loud crash from outside the window "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?"
Ultear jumped up at the loud noise and looked around. She was in a small panic as she tried to figure where she was due to the unfamiliar area. She then looked down and saw her discarded clothes as well as one of Natsu's shirts laying across a nearby chair. Ultear developed a small smile as the memory of last night's activity. Her reminiscing however was cut short due to another loud clash outside. 'What the hell could Natsu be doing to make so much noise?' Ultear thought as she ran to the door and swung it open. Her eyes grew wide as she saw the giant Greek styled mansion nearing completion directly in front of her.
"Whoa I didn't know the Prince was going to give us a show today!" a strangely familiar voice cat called from beside Ultear.
Ultear looked at the source of the voice and her eyes grew once again "ZANCROW!" she yelled shocked. "I thought you were dead!"
The blonde god slayer only laughed as he sat on the ground in front of the house with his back resting against the wall "Like the world could get rid of my greatness." He said with a cocky smile "And you sure have grown since last time." He winked as his eyes roamed her body.
A question mark appeared above Ultear's head as she looked down and realized she was as naked as the day she was born. "KKKYYYAAAAAAA!" she screamed as ran back into the house and slammed the door shut. Followed by Zancrow's laughter.
A few minutes Ultear came out of the house again in her usual attire with a blush across her face. "Don't you dare say a thing unless you want to dead for sure this time." She threatened.
Zancrow only laughed. "I already died once, a second time isn't that threatening."
Ultear raised an eyebrow at this confused. "So you did die?" she asked with her arms crossed under over her chest.
"Eh sorta" Zancrow shrugged "Let's go, the prince told me to get you when you woke up." Zancrow then jumped up and started to walk toward the mansion.
Ultear followed behind closely "what do you mean sorta? And where did all these people come from?" she questioned.
Zancrow lead her under an arch way into a large open courtyard. "That's a hard question to explain." He scratched his head as they passed some workers. "You might just want to ask the prince." He shrugged.
"It's quite shocking to see you so easily submitting toward to someone Zancrow." Ultear giggled.
Zancrow stopped in his tracks and turned toward Ultear "He is not a 'someone', he rescued every person here from death." Zancrow responded with a bit on venom in his voice before turning and continuing to walk.
"You sure have changed." Ultear said not being able to hold all of her shock.
At that Zancrow returned to his normal self and let out a laugh "Says the women fighting dark guilds and sleeping with the prince." He teased causing Ultear to darkly blush. Before she could snap at him they had reached the door step to the largest structure on the mansion. "He is in there up the stairs." Zancrow said pointing toward the doors. "Well my job is done, I'll be going back to work, see yah." He yelled over his shoulder as he walked away.
Ultear watched him walk away, her mind swimming with questions. She turned to the large carved wooden door and opened them as she walked into a large room with a white marble floor and pillars lining along its sides. She took a few steps inside taking in all the crafted stone and bronze statures that lined the walls along with the paintings and extremely detailed woven rugs.
She took a few more steps, her heels clicking on the ground as she made her way to a grand staircase in the middle of the large room. She started to ascend the stairs while running her hands along the brass and wooden hand railing. As she reached the top of the stairs she was greeted with another large wooden door, this one had carvings of dragons and humans surrounding a single flame. She walked up to the door tracing the design, entranced by the craftsmanship.
"Beautiful isn't it?" a voice called behind her.
Ultear turned around to see Natsu leaning against the wall staring at her "Y-yes it is."
Natsu straightened up and walked toward the time mage. "It's the time I gave fire to the humans and the dragons." He explained as he pointed at the door. "Before that they were just no better than walking zombies, just doing the smart thing in every situation, but when you don't have any drive to complete anything what is the smartest thing to do?" he then put his arms around Ultear "Fire is a curious element isn't it?" he laughed as he gave her a quick kiss before opening the door as strode into the room.
Ultear took the whole room in. from the carpeted floor, to the crystal chandelier. She was memorized by the large painting on the wall depicting ancient times, or so she though. She looked at a certain purple banner with a wreath on it and the letters "SPQR" written in gold on it. "What is this?" she asked curious.
Natsu looked over at the banner and smiled. "That was from an ancient civilization called Rome." He explained "It was when most men had a fire burning brightly in their hearts. They conquered most of the known world you know?" he added with a smirk as he looked at the banner fondly.
"I've never heard of them." Ultear answered in disbelief as she lifted up a piece of metal with a large star on it along with traces of red and blue painted on it.
"I would've been more astounded if you did." Natsu laughed "they were here thousands of years ago, before this world even had magic."
Ultear's eyes widened "What do you mean before magic?"
Natsu only chuckled and put his hand on her head. "There is so much to this world that you don't know. I'll explain it to you one day, but that is not today." He then took his hand back and moved over to a large circular table in the middle of the room. "The thing we have to worry about now though is the present." He waved his hand as a map of the world popped up out of the table.
Ultear looked at the table curiously "I didn't know you knew Archive magic." She said impressed.
"I don't, but this table can pull up a map for me. But again I will describe that some other time. Our primary focus right now should be this." Natsu then pocking a part of the map with his index figure. A figure of a giant cube grew on the display of the table. "Tartarus."
Ultear gasped "But Tartarus is the strongest dark guild!"
"It is either we attack them or we wait for them to start attacking us. I'll have to talk to Makarov of course and see if he will let some of the guild mates assist me." Natsu said to himself as he crossed his arms.
Ultear thought for a second. "Tartarus is definitely stronger the Grimoire Heart, but maybe if we use all of our resources we can take them. I saw Zancrow outside so he would be of great use."
"We won't be using Zancrow or any of my men."
"What? Why not? They could be very helpful!" Ultear cried in disbelief.
"Because they are part of my army, they will be needed in the future and I can't afford to let even one be killed." Natsu replied calmly.
"What do you mean your army? And how are they alive anyway? I could've swore that Zancrow was dead on that island."
Natsu walked to the window overlooking the court yard and motioned for Ultear to follow. "Every person you see out there has died once already." He said bluntly pointing out people for her. "But before they died they remained faithful to the fire within them. They stayed faithful to themselves and with that kind of determination I could not let death claim them. I used that fire to keep them here as my army. The elements are a raging group of disaster. I never know when a war my break out between us, if it does it will simply be our nature, but I must still be prepared." Natsu then walked away and headed toward the door, "For now let's go talk to Makarov and the rest of Fairy Tail. We might even make a stop at some of the other guilds."
Ultear followed suit and left threw the door he held open. As Natsu was about to step out of the door himself he heard a small scratch and turned his head abruptly molding his sword out a flame. He scanned the room for any movement and sniffed the air.
"Natsu what's wrong?" Ultear asked from the stair case.
Natsu scanned the area once more before releasing his sword back into fire. "It must've been nothing let's go." And with that he closed the door and headed out into the court yard with Ultear.
As they walked away a small black cat like demon jumped up on the window seal and watched them fade away. It grew a huge toothy grin before it used its magic to teleport away.
…
As Ultear and Natsu approached the guild they could already tell that it was going to be an interesting moment when they opened the door. They could hear the crashing of furniture and the screams of helpless guild mates as Mira and Erza were screaming at each other about Natsu.
"I hope can handle those two." He laughed nervously as he scratched the back of his head.
Ultear watched as a guild mate was thrown through the second floor window and crashed in front of them knocked you. "Wow they got Max. Poor guy." Natsu said as he poked the body in front of him with his boot.
"Uh let's just get this over with before someone else gets hurt." Ultear sighed as she pushed the door to the guild open. The guild instantly fell silent as the two walked in.
"Yo-"Natsu was cut off as a scarlet and silver haired beauty tackled him to the ground before the simultaneously slapped him.
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!" they both shouted man under them.
As Natsu was about to speak Ultear beat him to it "He has been with me of course." She smirked as she crossed her arms under her breast making them seem larger. This caused the two beauties to jump off of Natsu and get in Ultear's face.
"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?" they shouted.
"I think I'm the one who got Natsu last night." Ultear replied as she stuck out her tongue. Both women seemed shocked at her response.
"ULTEAR!" Meredy shouted with a pink blush along her cheeks.
Ultear looked her way "Don't you act all innocent young lady!" she snapped "I saw the sensory link on my arm!" she stared down at Meredy.
Meredy blushed "T-t-that was to c-c-check on y-y-you." The flushed pinkette stuttered out in her defense.
"Really? That's why it was on for FOUR HOURS then huh?" Ultear retorted crossing her arms.
Before Meredy could reply the sound of a grown man crying caught al their attention. They looked over to the normal group of pervert and were slightly surprised to see Jellal crying the loudest "Not Ultear and Meredy too!" he yelled as anime tears fell from his and the others faces.
"I see what you mean by mental breakdown." Commented natsu as he stood up and dusted himself off. Erza instantly attached herself to his arm.
"I get him tonight!" she yelled looking down at the other women. She wasn't expecting to get pushed from behind though. As she fell she looked back at the culprit.
"If anyone get him tonight it's going to be me." A rather drunk Cana said as she nuzzled onto Natsu's chest.
"Ladies calm down." Natsu said trying to calm the women down. "My mansion is almost built so you can all decide that later, I'm here on official business this time." He picked Cana up and put her on the chair before walking to the group of crying men. "Master I need to talk to you."
The master kept crying "Why? Are you hear to ruin another one of my dreams by taking another women at our guild?"
Natsu sweat dropped as his lip twitched. "No Makarov I need you for official business." He said through clenched teeth. He let out a sigh "I'll meet you in your office." With that he made his way upstairs. Makarov finally seeing how serious Natsu was acting decided to cut short his crying period and followed. As he walked in he shut the door behind him and sat in his chair facing Natsu.
"So what do you need brat?" He said in his usual tone.
"Brat?" Natsu chuckled.
"Aye, Brat. You may be stronger now but you will always be my brat." Makarov sighed "Even though I made a grave mistake in the past for trying to change that."
Natsu looked at the Master with pity, seeing as the fire within him was actually being effected, showing that the master did truly regret his actions. "It's fine Gramps." Natsu smiled trying to cheer the old man up.
The old man looked up and cracked a small smile as he saw Natsu's. "Well what do you need to talk about?" he asked his spirits slightly lifted.
Natsu's face immediately turned serious "I want to form a team of mages and infiltrate and destroy the dark guild Tartarus."
Makarov surprisingly only nodded. "Very well, who do you have in mind?"
Natsu was shocked at his calm response "Aren't you surprised or worried I might get some of the guild members hurt? This is Tartarus after all not just some regular dark guild."
Makarov only looked at Natsu "The members of the magic council were all found dead yesterday evening. We need to take Tartarus down as quickly as possible."
Natsu scratched his chin "The whole council huh? Well in that case I want to bring a group of mages with me to fight Tartarus.'
Makarov only nodded again, "Who are you going to bring with you?"
Before Natsu could answer there was a knock on the door. "Who is it we're in an important meeting here." Makarov called.
The door opened to reveal another familiar face.
"Azuma, what are you doing here?" Natsu asked with an eyebrow raised as the wood mage walked in.
"My master wanted me to deliver some information to you." He said plainly as he pulled a document out of his pack and handed it to Natsu.
Natsu read over paper before rolling it back up and handing it back. "Thank you, you may return." Natsu said.
"Very well." And with that Azuma shut the door.
"What was that about?" Makarov asked curiously.
"Azuma works for John now and he just brought some rather interesting information. Tartarus is gathering an army from other dark guilds. The plan to infiltrate is no longer an option." Natsu said bluntly. "I will need the entire guild and as many members from every other light guild we can get. We are going to have to go to war in order to deal with a force as large as theirs."
Makarov eyes grew and his mouth fell open. "W-w-war!"
"Aye, and we need to find Mavis and get her to start to plan some strategies as soon as our forces are together, also prepare Lumen Histoire." Natsu said as he stood and walked to the door. "It will take a while to prepare everyone for what is to come. I believe we will have roughly 3 months before we must either confront Tartarus or Tartarus will come after us." As natsu opened the door he walked to the balcony and looked down at all the mages. He sent a jet of fire out of his fist to get the guilds attention.
"Oi flame brain what are you doing!" yelled Gray.
"Everyone listen!" Natsu yelled with such authority that everyone instantly stood at attention. "In three months we will go to war with the Dark Guild lead by Tartarus." As he said that some of the guild members already started to whisper to each other. "We will need every person possible to win this war, so everyone as of right now needs to go to every other light guild so we can build a force up." Natsu paused as he looked down at the confused guild members "I know this is sudden but Tartarus has already made their move and killed the magic council." He heard collective gasp form around the guild. "We have three months to prepare ourselves or we will share the same fate as those council members. Now all of you go and get as many people as you can then bring them to my mansion. I have three months to get all of you into shape enough to fight an army of blood thirsty murders." He looked down at the shocked faces. "SO GO! NOW!" he roared as his voice made people jump into action.
As everyone started to run out of the guild to gather all they could Mira, Ultear, and Erza ran up the stairs to Natsu.
"Natsu what's going on?" Mira and Erza asked.
"We are going to go to war with Tartarus. I'll be expecting both of you at my mansion for training. Also I believe your rooms are both finished so you may stay there from now on if you wish." Natsu then turned his head. "Hector!" he called.
A blaze of fire appeared in front of him to reveal a middle aged brown and gray haired man kneeling in front of Natsu, a long sword strapped to his back. "What is your command?" he asked.
Mira jumped back "Hey that's the guild master from the dark guild!" she yelled pointing at the man.
Natsu ignored her "Hector go to John and ask if he will lend any assistance in the upcoming war." Hector nodded before standing and running out the guild. "And to answer you Mira, Hector is now working for me. Even though he went down the wrong path he still remained faithful to the fire inside of him."
Natsu sighed before embracing the three women before him "This is going to be a giant war that will effect how the world will work in the future." Natsu said in a clam voice as he looked down at the three women.
"But you beat Hector without breaking a sweat, this should all be easy for you," Mira said looking up to natsu grabbing the front of his shirt.
"I'm not invincible Mira, I told you when I unlocked part of my power that I'm just a little stronger than Gildarts now. The reason I beat Hector so easily was that because he was too busy talking and I took him out before he could even use magic." He released the three and looked at each of them. "I need all of you to help me prepare everyone for what is to come." He looked to Mira "Mira you need to keep everyone's moral upbeat and positive so that there is no doubt of victory." He looked to Erza "Erza, I need you to help me train everyone so that we don't have to watch any of our friends fall due to not being prepared." He finally looked to Ultear "Ultear most of the people about to join us haven't unlocked their second origin yet so I'll need your help with that." The three women nodded.
Natsu sighed "It's going to be a rough three month do the best you can." Natsu smiled at the three before kissing each of them on the fore head. "I'll meet you at my mansion, get Zancrow to help you set up the training areas and barracks. Him and the others should be close to finishing on my house." The three women quickly bowed and ran out the door.
Natsu sighed once again before walking to a nearby window and watched as all the guild members rushed to the train station while his 'wives' ran into the forest toward his mansion. Makarov walked up next to him. "Maybe pushing you when I did was the best after all." He said in a low tone.
Natsu looked down at the Master "There is no way to know." With that a fire blazed around Natsu leaving him in his crimson armor with a sword on each hip. Natsu turned and walked out of the guild "But for now we have a war to win."
