Chapter 38: Battle of the Strong: Knockout of the Three Gaurdians

After Laxus finish saying his plan

The Thunder Tribe left in a flash, Naruto head to scans the girls as Natsu yell about winning this battle and charge through, only for a barrier of Ruins with the same rule that stop Makarov has stop him like a brick wall. "I'm over 40? Why didn't anyone tell me?!" Naruto appear from behind bang him on the head. "Idiot! It probably your dragon slayer magic since it a lost magic." Naruto press his arm to the front only for the same thing to happen. "It look like you and me are staying as the rest try to defeat either Kii-san (mean tree because evergreens are tree) or Fried to let us out." Gray laugh at the fact Natsu is helpless while Elfman yell that he helps him save his manhood.

"You guys better not lost so easily because it will be too boring to win that way!" Natsu shout to them while Naruto talk with a card on his ear like a celly. "Yeah… I've heal him as best as I can. Jiji need to take better care of himself. Okay Obba-chan, see you in an hour or so." Soon the barrier show signs of battles that are happening. "Hey Naruto, why are they fighting each others?" "Simple, Fried step traps to make it more easily to cut the numbers." When a sign that Gray has lost to Bickslow, Natsu laugh so hard, that Gajeel stop eating from behind the counter. "Hey, what going on?" "Nothing much, just that the Thunder Tribe hold the girls in as hostage was everyone duke it out in a royal battle." "I better join in since I got nothing else to do." Gajeel head outside only to be slam against the barrier. "What the heck!" "Don't tell me you're over 40 too." Natsu said as Naruto shock his head. "Do I look over 40?!" "It because of our dragon slayer magic, since it a lost magic." Then Elfman lost to Evergreen. "I saw couples fights, but never to the death." "Wait! Those two are date?" "Actaully, it more like they're mean for each other by me and Hinata." "That doesn't mean you should force people to be a couple!"

Natsu head to where the girls are and try to melt Erza's stone prison. "Natsu, what you doing?" "What it look like? I'm freeing Erza so she could help me get into the fight." But instead of dripping, the stone is cracking. "Natsu! Are you trying to kill her?!" "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Happy! Get the glue!" "Aye sir!" "That won't work fool! We got to wield her back with your fire and my iron!" the crack spread and natsu bow in fear fast. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" the crack breaks and Erza was free. "I feel hot, Natsu!" She beat him up along with Gajeel while Naruto and Happy watch. "Now I got that out of my system, why am I half affected by Evergreen's magic?" "Probably because your right eye is artificialed, since it's an eyes contact spell." Naruto then head toward Hinata. "Which mean that the tapping sound I heard from Hime-chan came from inside." Naruto said as he smash the head off.

At the base of the neck was a hole, which Hinata pop out and jump on his should. "What took you so long?" Happy and Erza was shocked. "How?" "Before Kii-san froze me, I put a layer of magic around me then shrink down to move and try to get your attention." "Anyway Erza, look like you're on your own since Hime-chan is tried." "Thought I do have enough magic to get you a present, Swirl world." As Hinata activate her eyes, a hole in the air (like Kumai) was open and a naginata fell out. The staff part is grey and the blades look like yin and yang with silver ribbon were half tied and half loose at the base of each blade. "This is Counter Naginata, it is all made by my solid dragon slayer magic (ice, metal {he got upgraded}, crystal, earth, and wood) and is boosted with draconite stone to last a long time." "I pour my Yin-Yang magic to it the ability of both light and shadow, thought each come out from one of the blades but with mix when spin around." Erza's eyes twinkle at the new weapon. "I'll make sure to fulling use it as best as I can." "Just don't kill anyone, okay."

Few minutes later

Erza was jumping on the roof in search for an enemy when her instinct was on high alert. She dodges a shower of golden needles and face it point of origin. "How long did you return from being petrified? Well, fine by me. It just means I get to have fun tormenting you more!" "Evergreen!" "You really make me angry. Why are you the Fairy Queen, Titania? I am the #1 fairy!" Both glare at each other similar to two top alpha predators before Evergreen made the first move. Erza jump toward the fly brunette and try to slash her with Counter Naginata, only to miss. "As expect of you, Erza." "I never thought you would challenge me. Besides, it's Hinata's fault that I got that title (hinata got mad without know this like a 6th sence in her pride). But if I defeat you, then everyone will return to normal!" "Think you are up for it?" As Evergreen try her stone eyes magic (pm me the right name), Erza close her left eye. "That won't work!" She then swings Counter Naginata at her only to dogde it. "I see! I wasn't informed that you had an artificial eye. In that case… Fairy Machine Gun: Leprechaun!" As she weeds through the needles, Erza start spinning her naginata. "Yin-Yang Mirror" a shield with the Yin-Yang symbol appear as she throw it forward while requip two swords and try to slash Ever again, only for her to dodge it. 'What? I never have done that attack before. It like I use Hound Blade that the moves just appear in my mind.' "Take this!" "Wait!" Erza start chasing Evergreen while manage to pick up Counter Naginata on the way. One attack as the other defense without a hit. "To think your defense could actually withstand this many needles even with mismatch weapons, impressive. But I wonder how you'll handle twice as many!" Erza deflect as many needles as she can, but some mange to cut through. "Hahahah, from today onwards, the title 'Tinania' belong to me! For I am the true fairy!" Erza was able to grab Counter Naginata and palce it on her back with a kick from her foot and then slash twice. "Holy Hell Cross" one black slash perpendicular to a white slash before the two spins toward Ever. "I-impossible!" then she dodge the attack, only for Erza to throw her two swords to the edge of her gloves which pin her to the wall of a column (I think). Erza landed in front of Evergreen. "While your actions are unforgivable, you're still a member of Fairy Tail. If you desire to call yourself 'Tinania' so badly, feel free to do so. Beside, Hinata wasn't talking about me but a reporter mishears us and somehow it ended to me…. If you cease this foolishness and return everyone to normal, I won't hurt you." "Hn, aren't you being a bit naïve here? My stone Eyes have another power." Erza walk up close to her. "Remote control." A pause and stop. "Now, bow before me! If you do not, I shall turn those petrified women into piles of dusts right away!" Erza was shock for a bit, but requip into her Heaven Wheel and bund of swords, which scared Evergreen. "Oh? If your persistence lies in winning or losing rather than your own life, then that fine by me. By taking your life, I shall put the soul of those crumbled maidens to rest." Evergreen scream out, only for Erza to punch her straight to her face (a punch line) "And that's how you bluff right to a skill ninja." "I surrender… but what Naruto say of your act is true." "'Sigh' I was drunk at the time and don't throw away any of my armor."

At the guild

"Well, I can see that Erza gain a buddy for Hound Blaze." "Yes Hime-chan, this just means she can use the rest of her parents' presents." The girls broke out of their stone prison and were catch up with the battle status. "Lucy!" "No, I will not fight." Natsu just carry Luck on his shoulders. "What you talking about, we going to take everyone out together!" "What about me?!" Happy cried while the couple tries to cheer him up. (Skip Laxus's speech) The group is on the roof to see a ring of thunder clouds surround the city. "Okay, that going too far." "I got this, Requip: Sniper Shot!" The moment Bisca breaks one of them, Naruto in front of her as he took most of a light bolt but the rest shock her into K.O. "Look like Laxus booby trap them to protect them from being destroy. And I barely was able to handle it power so I can't take them all while staying awake." They head back down and Levy start reading through books. "If I can decipher the runes in the barrier then I can able to rewrite it to lets you guys through." "Impressive Shrimp." Gajeel try to praise her for her skill, but was ignore. "Don't worry about it Gajeel, she just in her little world when she read or something like that, but you got her to say something." Hinata try to cheer him up as Naruto set up a plan. "Okay, we are here in the guild and by my guess, Laxus should be around the central to keep the clouds in orbit around the city." Naruto put chess pieces of a deck of cards, a book a star, three dragons (one of iron one with flames and one wearing a crown) a Yin-Yang symbol, a cat head, a paw print, demon winds, a rifle, and a master badge on the guild part of the map and a thunder bolt on the central. "Erza got Kii-san on the other side of town." Placing a shield and sword and a fairy wings pieces there. "While everyone else is all over the place." He places more pieces that match their magic. (Ice, beast horns, pistol, etc.) "Our best bet is to go in teams of two, but you must stay in the air to avoid trap just in case. Lucy and Lisanna will go to the market area with Happy since Lucy can't fly while Cana and Juvia go to the river side for a home field advantage." He moves their pieces to their objective. "Try locates either Freed or Bixlow but don't engage unless force to while Mira get Erza and then keep Laxus busy as Levy get us out so us dragon can finish this." Moving the rest into place. "12 players on the field." The barrier said as everyone think of how can it be. "It look like Mystogan is join the fight."
