Chapter 3 Tonight of all the nights

In the Masters outrage Laxus and Mira shared a look of disgust, how dare Raven Tail have the nerve to attack two of Fairy Tails beloved members. With out thinking Laxus took off dragging Natsu with him without uttering a word to the Master and Mira. In all honesty they didn't need telling where he was going it was clear that he was going to face Raven Tail.

"So, flame brain, where's the filthy scum?" Laxus's voice was laced with hate and pure anger he knew that he shouldn't be going to the fight as he wouldn't be able to hold back like he did in the Grand Magic Games but, when did that ever stop him.

"Outskirts of the forest, near Porlyusicas' house!"

"I'll see you there, you'll know where to find me, wait up for the old man would ya"

With that Laxus disappeared with lightning surrounding him. Currently dark thoughts were going through his head of what he would do to Raven Tail. The guild knew of Laxus's anger and how destructive he could be but never before had they seen his real destructive force, and it just happened that his fathers guild were going to find out how dangerous he could be when angered. He thought Raven Tail would have learnt their lesson from last time, apparently not.

Arriving at the scene he was flabbergasted at the sight of Titania being beaten, she layed on the ground blood dripping from her mouth. Laxus spotted Erza automatically however, he couldn't see gray till it became apparent that the ice mage was on the other side of where he stood leaning against a tree for support. Knowing full well that Raven Tail didn't have the capability to leave the two mages in their present state, he doubted that he had encountered the mage before and was new to the guild.

A voice from behind him brought him out of his misery as now he was able to clearly identify the enemy.

"Ahh so Makarov sends children to do his dirty work now does he, maybe I should make a statement out of you after all you are his grandson".

Turning round the lightning mage saw the mage, the repugnant looking mage had a grin plastered on his face. This quickly disappeared after Laxus decided to speak up.

"You hurting my family was a big mistake, one you're gonna end up paying with your life."

"Laxus-dono, when did you become so fierce, it breaks my heart to see you like this!"

The owner of the voice appeared from behind the trees, as soon as the man showed himself the rest of Fairy Tail showed up with Master Makarov leading the guild members.

"Ivan! You have no right to be here, you will pay dearly for being here".

"Father, it's such a pleasure to see you, surprised you haven't died yet but, since you rudely interrupted me from talking to my son, Laxus, I'll now continue with the conversation".

It took all the Masters strength to not explode from rage, even the guild members were worried about the situation at hands as it wasn't a happy family reunion. Silence filled the forest until an unbelievably strong magic pressure erupted. All eyes focused on the source of the magic power, Laxus.

"Look, I'm not exactly a people's person nor am I patient and right now my patience is wearing thin you have less than ten seconds before I unleash hell on you and if i were you I would leave as I'm not holding back this time". Laxus practically growled the last part, Natsu who had just arrived was shocked at the sheer magic pressure as well as the hostility in the lightning dragons voice never before had he witnessed this whilst in the guild.

"Laxus-dono what happened to being nice to your father you ungrateful brat! How about I wipe the floor with you right-

A flash of lightning could only be seen from where the Raven Tail master was standing after being cut off. An almight boom of thunder was soon followed which shook the very ground of the forest. After the smoke cleared all Fairy Tail members were shocked to behold the sight of Laxus standing over his father who was now on the floor heavily bleeding after being punched in the face with such fury.

"I said leave or I won't hold back".

Suddenly the other Raven Tail mage made a swing for Laxus in which he narrowly dodged due to the hit being unexpected. Not giving up the mage unleashed another attack towards the now airborne mage.

"Eclipse surge" the mysterious mage shouted.

A dark aura was fired at Laxus all light from the area seemed to disappear because of the attack, not wanting to risk getting hit from not being able to deflect the attack he quickly lightning flashed out of the blast range, this gave him an aerial view of the destruction caused from the spell. Time stood still as reality struck the lightning mage as he remembered the mage he was currently fighting was the mage he encountered the other night, the mage he couldn't put a face to.

This automatically sent Laxus over the edge, the mage here in front of him was the only mage who has given him a run for his money, which hasn't happened in a long time. Determined to wipe the floor with his opponent Laxus decided to go all out, gathering a large amount of magic he clenched his fist and released his magic sending it hurtling towards the enemy.

"RAGING BOLT!"

All bystanders were amazed by this spell, only Natsu and Gajeel have actually seen Laxus use it however, both were still none the wiser of what impact the spell had as when first witnessed Gajeel pulled Natsu away from the spell. Total destruction was an under statement towards the aftermath of the spell. The landscape was completely altered all that was left was the distinctive smell of burning as well as a now crispy mage.

"Not bad. How about you go all out next time though? Well, if you're just about finished why don't we get serious, I'll go first!"

Utter shock could be seen on the lightning mages face, so far he used that spell as a deterrent for the Raven Tail mage also, putting the most magic possible into the spell and yet here was the very mage trying to provoke him. Taking a deep breath Laxus calmed himself until his patience snapped and sparks started to violently dance around him.

"That's it no more Mr Nice guy, it appears I'm gonna have to get real. Since I'm about to put you six feet under how about I know your name to go the gravestone?".

"Well, that's certainly fighting talk Laxus Dreyar although, I was only meant to make an example of those two mages why don't I show your precious guild my true power and whilst I'm at how weak the beloved Masters' grandson really is!"

Both mages summoned their magic around them creating an anxious atmosphere, those watching could see the tension however, a certain white haired mage looked on in fear. Mira knew deep down Laxus was strong and he would be fine, but doubt kept arising making her think that Laxus would lose. Not wanting Laxus to feel he was on his own Mira shouted "Go on Laxus, wipe the floor with him" This earned herself a smug grin from the mage and a final statement before the real fight got under way.

"I planned to!"

So, next chapter there is going to be a lot more of Mira and Laxus as well as some other couples however, not sure who feel free to leave a comment on what couples you want in! Left it on another cliff hanger, sorry again! I don't mean to. Well, can't wait to hear what you think, hopefully wasn't that bad was a little short but that's because the next chapter is going to be the biggest chapter so far! Whoo,
