5. Chapter 5

"How are the brats doing? "

The vast guildhall of Fairy Tail was unusually peaceful and quiet. Currently, only two persons were situated there. Sitting on one of the tables close to the bar, Warren was actively engaging in the task he was given. He was contacting mage after mage trying to inform them of the places that were infested with Rusalka mages. Using his unique telepathic magic, he was acting as the connection between all of them. Across him, sitting on the bar wearing his wizard saint coat, was the guild's master, Makarov.

"Great job Bisca! Make sure you check the nearby areas and meet up with Max and his group."

Moving his index and middle fingers away from his head, Warren ended the transmission and turned his attention to Makarov.

"I just heard from Bisca that she and Al cleaned the area around the South Gate Park. With that in mind we're steadily seizing all the targeted locations. Some of the groups even met up with each other and decided to continue onward together."

"And what about Natsu and the rest?"

"I'm afraid I still haven't heard from them… To add on that, I've been having trouble contacting Erza as well."

Warren made a concerned look as he was speaking. But he soon cheered up and approached his master.

"But this is Natsu we're talking about so I don't believe there should be any trouble. Well… he shouldn't be in any trouble."

Makarov closed his eyes and let out a sigh. His posture was stern, but his legs gave away a small bit of uneasiness as they were swinging up and down.

"Oh right! I haven't heard from Gray in a while. He was supposed to check his surrounding and contact me. Wonder what's taking him so long."

The black haired mage spoke again and proceeded to connect with his guild mate. He put the index and middle fingers on both of his hands to his heads temples and focused on contacting Gray's group.

"Helloooo….Gray…. Do you hear me?"

"… Warren-san… is that you?"

"Oh Juvia. I was just calling to check…"

As he was about to speak, Juvia quickly interrupted him.

"Listen to me Warren-san! This has all been a distraction!"

Her words struck Warren by surprise. And not him only, the master that was standing behind him widened his eyes after hearing that as well.

"Distraction!? What are you saying? Where's Gray?"

"Gray-sama is…."

Suddenly, the water mage stopped. The sound of her gritting her teeth was mixed with her muffled sobbing. That only unsettled the duo in the guild further. They looked at each other confused as they awaited her answer.

"Gray-sama is hurt…"

A still, sorrowful voice escaped her mouth. Warren and Makarov stood still for a moment. Warren started sweating and his hands started shaking. Makarov jumped from the bar and came closer to the telepathic mage so the other side could hear him.

"Injured!? What do you mean injured? Haven't the two of you already taken care of the enemies?"

"Master… We did, but another one showed up. He was the leader of the group Gray-sama and I fought. While battling him we found out that their real goal was to keep us busy while their master kidnapped someone in the town."

"Kidnap!? Who do they want to kidnap?"

The guild master jumped on Warren's shoulder and shouted in his ear. The black haired's face contorted from the pain the loud noise caused him. Impulsively, he moved his head away from the loud old man, but the master ignored his member's aching as he continued.

"I-I don't know…. Warren-san… P-Please call for help… Gray-sama is…"

Holding her tears back was becoming more and difficult as her voice was losing its strength and her sobbing intensified. Makarov started gritting his teeth angrily as he was listening.

"I understand… I'll send Wendy to your aid as soon as possible."

Warren cut in in their conversation. As soon as he reassured her that help would come, the water mage cheered up a bit.

"Thank you…."

After that the transmission ended. The two of them were left wondering. With sweat formed on their foreheads, they faced each other.

"Master! This is serious, we need to inform the rest…"

"Don't be hasty!"

The telepathic mage stopped at his master's words. He looked surprised as he was staring at the elderly man.

"Regardless of the fact that we've been tricked, there's still a group of mages causing trouble to the townspeople. We can't let them be."

As Makarov spoke Warren made the realization that they were still in a pinch. He started clenching his fists. They were outplayed completely, and yet it was too late for them to react.

"If only they found out who the ringleader was. That way we wouldn't have to search for a needle in a haystack."

"I wonder… Should we ask for help from Twilight Ogre?"

"Hmm….."

While the two of them were deciding on their next move, the black haired started hearing voices in his head.

"H….ell….ooo….Wa…rren…."

Surprised, he focused his magic in an attempt to improve the connection.

"Warren? Can you hear me?"

"Mira? Is that you?"

He recognized the voice as soon the sound was focused and clear. It was Fairy Tail's poster girl and S-class mage, Mirajane.

"Elfman! Lisanna! I got through!"

"What happened Mira?"

"Warren, we have important news, the real reason for the invasion…"

"Yeah we know that they planned this attack just to occupy us. Juvia just told us."

For a moment. Mirajane stood silent as she was stunned. But she soon regained her composure and continued.

"Master what should we do now?"

Now all the attention was shifted to Makarov. Warren glanced at him unsure of what to say. Fairy Tail's master closed his eyes once again and took a long moment to think. The anticipation was rising because all of them knew that they didn't have time to spare. Suddenly, he took a few steps forward and started talking.

"How is the situation on your end? Is everyone okay?"

First and foremost, he had to know if there were any more injuries. While listening to his words, the S-class mage bit her lip.

"Elfman is a bit busted, but he'll be alright after Wendy treats him."

Her voice lightened up a bit as she was finishing her sentence, but she still had that small ounce of regret in herself. In her mind, if she had stopped her brother in time, he wouldn't have sustained the injuries he did.

As he was listening, the guild master took a deep breath. Then he looked at Warren and spoke.

"Listen up! Connect to as many of the brats as you can. First, we have to tell Wendy to rush and treat the injured, then tell Freed to write a rune around the town."

"A rune?"

Both Mirajane and Warren asked.

"Yes. Tell him to write it so that only Fairy Tail members can exit."

Confused, Warren stared at the old man. The person on the other side however, exclaimed at the words she heard.

"Master, that's brilliant!"

Now the telepathic mage was even more bewildered. He was looking left and right looking for some kind of explanation. Then, it struck him like thunder.

"That's right! We already evacuated the townspeople. So the only ones left…"

Before he could finish, Makarov interrupted him. A wide grin decorating his face.

"Even if we don't know who the leader is, he won't be able to leave town. NOW SPREAD OUT BRATS! GIVE 'EM HELL!"

….

The sound of heavy panting was heard in a certain part of Magnolia. There, Erza was standing in her Black Wing Armor. It was black with silver trimmings that had silver crosses is several places, a revealing silver-edged breastplate and plates flanking her hips that reached down to her waist-guard. The waist-guard left the front of Erza's body exposed, with her groin being covered by a dark imbuement. She had large plates guarding her legs and two wings that had black metal "arms" acting as the wings' leading structure, but the parts used to fly were composed of a membrane-like material. Also, her hair was tied in a ponytail. In that armor Erza's offensive power increased significantly and she gained the ability to fly. Sweat was dripping from her body, her eyes were narrowed and her expression was dark. She was scouting her surroundings carefully. Not a word was audible in the empty streets.

"Have fun Titania! Once these demons are unleashed, there's no telling what they might do…"

Those were the words Kentaro spoke before he fled. The S-class mage desperately tried to chase after him, but at the time she had her hands full. Four demons escaped from the gates before it vanished. As stated by him, while he had the power to open the gate, controlling anything that went out of it was another matter. While the creatures that escaped started running amok, destroying building after building and attacking Erza, he swiftly escaped. Now, having no other choice than to eliminate the new threats that appeared, she waited for them to make the first move. A second had passed and a shadow jumped at the static mage. She reacted just in time for her to parry the blow with her sword. The demon was in plain sight now. It had a massive body, thick arms and legs, and sharp fangs coming out of his mouth. He also had a single bat wing and an extra arm coming out of his back. The skin on it seemed as hard as steel because its fist was pressing against the sword without being cut. Erza had trouble staying on her spot as the strength started pushing her out of balance.

"ARGGHHHH… Curse you!"

She gritted her teeth with frustration. With one strong push she separated herself from her foe and ascended to the air. From above she charged at the demon and swung her sword at the crown of its head. As the blade collided with the skull, it just bounced of it and forced its way behind the mages back. She widened her eyes. At that moment she was completely unguarded. The monster didn't wait for that moment to pass. It grabbed Erza by her waist and started crushing her in its palm.

"AAAAAAAARGH!"

Painful groans echoed as her ribs started cracking from the pressure. In a desperate attempt to get away she released her magical power and started a requip. Her whole body was emitting a blinding light that lasted for a split second. The force behind it was enough to free her from the monster's clutch. Now, she donned her Heaven's Wheel Armor. Plated armor covered her chest, with a large metal flower over it. She wore a large billowing skirt that had metal plating in the upper area and a set of large metal wings that appeared to be made of individual blades, as well as a wing-like headpiece. Her stomach and neck were uncovered.

"Take this you fiend! "

"Blumenblatt!"

Erza equipped herself with a sword in each hand and started summoning dozens of swords around her. As soon as she finished she charged forward with her weapons following. All of them travelled rapidly at the creature in front of them, stabbing it one at a time. However, the demon didn't react. Not even a single sound came out of it. It just stood calmly with countless swords rammed in its skin. Agitated, Erza slashed at the creature with both arms. It was all in vain however as she couldn't make it to her target.

All of a sudden, something came in between them. It was a large hound. Extremely large in fact, its height exceeded that of some nearby houses. It had messy, thick, black fur. Eyes as red as blood, large and sharp fangs and claws. But its most recognizable feat was the three heads that rested on its shoulders. It was a Cerberus. Loud growls came out from at as it stared at the mage.

And it didn't end there. From the shadows the two remaining demons emerged. The first one was a Chimera. It had the body of a lion, but its tail was a snake. A real, living snake. The front legs of a lion, but the back ones from a goat. Like it was with the Cerberus, three heads were outstretching from its shoulders. However, they weren't similar to each other in any way. One head was that of a lion. The other one was that of a goat. And lastly, the final one resembled that of a dragon.

The second demon was the same height as a regular human and had a normal torso and head. The difference however was in the fact that he had the legs of a goat and matching horns. All four of them surrounded Erza, ready to leap at her.

The scarlet haired mage straightened up and glanced at her enemies. Then she closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"I don't have time for this. I need to find Lucy and Levy as soon as possible!"

When she opened them, her eyes were narrowed, rigid, cold and hard.

"Kentaro was your name, wasn't it? You've made a grave mistake. There is no way I will allow you to hurt my friends. To stop you, I would gladly trample over hell itself! Let alone four demons."

Her body glowed once again. From the light, she emerged in her Purgatory Armor.

"Lucy… Levy… Wait for me. I'll be coming soon."

….

Walking slowly through the damaged roads of Magnolia, Kentaro was inspecting the scenery. A wide smirk could be seen on him as he was looking around. In his mind he remembered the recent events. Without a doubt, he succeeded in his mission. Not only did he guided his team successfully through enemy territory, but he managed to hold of Titania, one of the strongest mages in the whole country.

"Even if it's you, Titania Erza. You have no hope of victory against creatures from hell."

After saying that, he stopped to look at his hands.

"My gate can only allow for low level creatures to pass through. But still, that's more than enough."

"Are you sure Kentaro?"

Another voice was heard from behind him.

"Oh, I didn't expect to see you here. Jama."

Kentaro immediately recognized his comrade. He turned his head to catch a glance over his shoulders. Jama was still in his transformed state. The wounds from his previous battle visible. After seeing his shattered armor, the black haired couldn't help but inquire.

"What ever happened to you?"

"Demon Mirajane happened."

Jama said while shrugging his shoulders.

"You must've had a tough time. Did you win?"

"You know as well as I that I would never harm a woman. Especially one with the beauty she possessed."

After hearing that, Kentaro turned around and looked at his friend. On his face, a large amount of disappointment was seen.

"Is your faith really so small that you could be swayed by a woman?"

"My faith is something completely different. This was about principles. Either way, I haven't failed Uwe-sama, have I?"

The two of them locked eyes. Some tension could be felt from their glances. But before it could escalate, the crimson demon changed topics.

"What should we do now? I'm sure that by now, most of our troops were defeated."

He made a simple question. They did succeed in their mission. So what now?

Kentaro simply turned his back to him and continued walking forward.

"What else? We find Uwe-sama…"

…..

The saiyan above the town was hovering with his back turned to the ground and his hands behind his head. He's been like that for a while now. Everything he's seen so far has been a major disappointment. And he had enough of it.

"I came here because I anticipated a war. But this has been nothing but a waste of time. I'm leaving."

He turned around and started flying towards the woods. His eyes were still watching beneath him. He recalled what he saw when he first arrived. People running away from the destruction. Grabbing their dear ones and leaving everything behind. The young saiyan gazed in the distance thoughtfully and started speaking in his mind.

"The reaction doesn't change no matter how many times I see it. It's the same with every race. Once they realize their weakness, they either run away mindlessly or beg for mercy. That's why saiyans are superior to humans. Even while faced with a foe they couldn't possibly defeat, they fought until every last one of them fell."

Then, he stopped and straightened up. He looked distantly and narrowed his eyes. While gritting his teeth and clenching his fists, he flared up his ki. Wild winds started blowing.

"If only I was there on that day! Things might not have ended the way they did!"

His power level was rising rapidly as he gathered his power. As he was reaching his peak, a single image showed itself in his mind. A small red haired girl with a monkey tail. As soon as he recalled, he stopped concentrating and stood still. He lowered his head and his face gained features that indicated sorrow.

"You were an odd one Zuzuchi. There was no Saiyan that I should have hated more. And yet you were the dearest to me."

The black haired stood still. Countless memories were flashing back. Moments he spent with his sister. Till this day he didn't understand why she was so different to him. Where did his father, the king make a mistake. And how after losing his home, he couldn't protect the one person he did care for.

As he felt his sadness taking over, he abruptly started thinking about something else. Again, he glanced down at Magnolia. He could feel only a few of the energy signatures he felt when he was training in the woods. Eleven, twelve at most. Which meant that they suffered a devastating defeat considering how many of them came. And the strongest one, who he presumed was the leader, was still battling.

"I don't have to watch this to know how it will end."

Ultimately, he looked at the sun before he was about to fly away. It was on his way to set. The sky around it already adopted an orange color. There was one final thing he recalled.

"It's been six year since I ended up on this planet. All this time spent here and I still don't understand. That man… Why did he love this place so much? Why did he love humans so much?"

After clearing his mind he started flying. With incredible speed, he was approaching the woods. The scenery below him was changing rapidly. From large building to small housing to stalls. When he approached the end, something unexpected happened. He crashed face first into an invisible wall.

"AUUCH!"

After he collided, he fell a few feet down before regaining his composure. He grabbed his nose as it was the first thing that connected.

"What on earth happened?!"

He shouted as he was slowly opening his eyes. In front of him, a large number of purple letters appeared. They were written in a language he couldn't understand and they were floating midair.

"What kind of sorcery is this?"

As soon as he asked that question, a line that he could understand, appeared.

Rule: Only those bearing the Fairy Tail insignia can leave this area.

"WHAT!?"

A loud scream escaped his mouth. His face turned violent and angry. He readied his fists and started punching the wall. Even though he was putting a reasonable amount of his strength into his punches, the wall wouldn't break.

"GRRRRRRRR!"

He started growling out of frustration. The saiyan outstretched his right hand and pointed his palm at the runes. Inside of it, ki started gathering. A small ball formed from the condensed ki and was waiting to be unleashed. However, instead of firing it, he stopped.

"No…. My day was bad enough even without this. Fairy Tail? I'll find the person behind this and let out some of my pent up stress."

The teen turned around and started descending.

"You couldn't have wished for an unluckier day. Damn insects."

…..

Erza was leaning against a wall. Right now, she was wearing her ordinary Heart Kreutz armor. In front of her were the corpses of the four demons. A pond of blood beneath every single one of them. Fighting for every breath, she swung her sword to get rid of the excess blood. A semicircular trace was left on the city floor.

"Hang on… I'm coming soon."

She was about to run in search for her friends. But all of a sudden, she started hearing a voice in her head. It was Warren calling from the guild hall.

"Erza! I was finally able to connect!"

"I don't have the time! I need to hurry!"

The mage started running as she was speaking.

"WAIT! There is something I need to tell you. The enemies.."

"I know everything. Right now I'm off to find Lucy and Levy."

"Lucy and Levy? Why, are they close?"

"Can you connect me with everyone Warren?"

"Sure. But why?"

"QUICKLY WARREN! I NEED TO TELL THEM SOMETHING!

…

Surrounded by debris from all sides, Natsu and Uwe were about to start the final battle of the day. A few yards away Lucy and Happy were watching with Levy behind them. Till this point, they still weren't sure why it was that Rusalka wanted to capture Levy. Even she herself didn't know. All that Uwe mentioned was that he had a job for her. As the tension was about to reach its climax, the super rookie spoke.

"Make an enemy of Fairy Tail? Hahaha… Don't make me laugh Natsu Dragneel. "

He rested his right arm on his forehead comically and laughed. His words didn't sit well with the quartet of Fairy Tail mages as all of them frowned annoyed.

"I know all about you Salamander. You're one of those straight forward guys who blindly follows your guild cause' you're too stupid to think for yourself. That's why you can say lines like those. Honestly… I can't think of one reason why I should be scared hahahah."

More and more, the dragonslayer's anger multiplied. But he could handle the ugly words targeted at him. Unlike the blond celestial mage and the blue cat behind. They were absolutely livid. If there was one thing they couldn't stand, it was someone badmouthing their friends. Lucy took a step forward, to Levy's surprise.

"Lu-chan…"

Rage was coming out of all of her pores. Blitztank caught the sight of her advancing and it piqued his interest. There were countless lines flowing though her mind. But in the end she took a deep breath and made a cheeky smile.

"You're pitiful…"

At that moment, the blond was the center of attention. Even her own guild mates turned to look at her. The mocking hostility in her voice made the enemy wince. He narrowed his eyes, and for the first time since they met, he directed some of his attention towards her.

"Here you are, calling Natsu an idiot for saying something so obvious. You guys have been going around town the entire day and you still don't understand. You brought an entire army here to go after us, and all of you fell. One by one, we defeated you. Our bond is what gives us our strength. When we're fighting for the same cause, there is nothing in this world that can stop us. That's the kind of guild Fairy Tail is. Even after witnessing all of that you're still not afraid? If that's true, then you're the one who's stupid."

Lucy stretched out the index finger on her right hand and it pointed at Uwe. The super rookie was flabbergasted at her words. On the other hand, her three friends all had beaming smiles on their faces.

"I couldn't have said it better Lu-chan."

With small tears in the corners of their eyes, Levy said.

"That's right Lucy! If you mess with Fairy Tail you've gotta be prepared to get your ass beaten!"

"Aye!"

The atmosphere changed drastically with just a few lines. Now, the shock and surprise from before were completely washed off, and with newfound belief, they were ready to strike their foe down.

Blitztank however, wasn't that amused. He was eyeing the celestial mage with a scowl.

"I've had enough of your nonsense. This togetherness that you speak of is making me sick. In the end, all of us will cast away the bonds we have and go after our own interest."

Once again, everyone was watching him. He brought his hand close to his mouth and started his monologue.

"Winning will always be a trait of those worthy of it. It doesn't matter how many of you there are. Since I'm worthy, I'll get it to be my way eventually. I will repay the faith shown in me by delivering the ultimate power."

After hearing him out, Natsu made a surprised face. And not him only, the rest did as well.

"What are you going on about repaying and power?"

"Never mind that. But if I succeed in getting hold of Levy McGarden and make her translate the ancient script, we might have immense power in our hands. What do you think Salamander? Is your bond strong enough to turn down that? Hand over Levy and I…..BAM"

Before he had the chance to finish with his offer, the dragon slayer flared up his hands and punched him right in the face. The force behind the punch catapulted the super rookie back to where he came from. Natsu was glaring at him with his eyes widened and jaw clenched to the point where he could break his own teeth. His muscles all flexed and the fire that permeated his body had gone up significantly.

"Enough with the talking. I'm gonna beat the crap outta you now."

Seconds later, Uwe stood up and readied himself. With a few wipes, he dusted his clothes of and glared at the dragon slayer.

"So that's how you want it… Well… I could always use another ability."

He clenched his right fist and started running towards his opponent. His fist started gradually gaining a silver color which surprised Natsu. Seeing Blitztank's approach caused Levy to flinch as she remembered the battle between him and Gajeel.

"NATSU BE CAREFULL! He can…."

But before she had the chance to finish, Uwe's arm lengthened and turned into a pillar of steel. The shock of seeing that caused the Fairy Tail mage to let his guard down.

"GAH…"

The ironed attack struck the dragonslayer in his abdomen and caused him to spit out saliva. Using the force behind, the iron pillar continued extending, pushing him towards a stone wall. Lucy and Happy widened their eyes as they saw the scene unfold.

"I-Iron pillar….But that's..." Lucy spoke.

"Natsuuuu!" Happy grew wings and flew towards his friend.

"I was too late… We need to be careful. This guy can copy other people's magic." Being the only one that wasn't surprised, Levy put her hand on her blond friends shoulder and informed her of the opponent.

"Copy!? You mean that attack…"

"That's right Fairy Tail mages! I copied the magic Black Steel Gajeel used against me." Uwe interrupted their conversation with his retort.

"Now stand still as you experience defeat from the power of a friend you care so much! Makes you start asking questions, eh Salamander?" After saying what he wanted, he faced the direction where he sent Natsu flying and started gathering air in his lungs.

"No… It can't be… Happy get out of the way!" Lucy couldn't believe her eyes. A large drop of sweat formed on her forehead as she watched Uwe's next move. She had a good idea of what it might be. Noticing Happy flying in the line of attack, she tried calling for him.

Iron Dragon's Roar!

Gajeel's signature move was released from the copycat's mouth. A large, grey tornado of dragon slayer magic demolished everything in sight as it traveled towards its destination. In a last minute attempt, Happy dodged the attack and returned to where his guild mates were. But the same couldn't be said for Natsu as the roar hit him directly.

"NATSUUU!"

Lucy shouted as she watched. Uwe's attack destroyed a large number of houses as well as a big piece of the road.

"Farewell Salamander…" The white haired smirked viciously as he was watching the debris rising. Then, he turned towards Levy and looked at her. Immediately after noticing that he had his eyes on her, her two guild mates stood in front of her to guard her.

"This has gone on for far too long. I already told you. I'll get it to be my way eventually."

He was about to go after his target, but then, as the dust started setting, a silhouette was seen standing.

"Oy! Was that it?" Natsu emerged and questioned his foe. Blitztank watched disbelievingly as he walked out unscathed.

"How!? How could you survive an attack of that magnitude?" The white haired was gritting his teeth as he glared at the dragon slayer. He couldn't comprehend that even Gajeel's signature move wasn't enough to take Natsu down.

"That magnitude? You're kiddin' right?" The pink haired started slowly approaching. Seeing that caused Uwe to flinch. He didn't know why, but he couldn't shake off the feeling that he was in grave danger.

"Compared to Gajeel's roar, this was like a new born baby's. " The Rusalka mage widened his eyes as he watched his opponent closing down the distance between them. He flared up his fists and retracted his right one, ready to unleash his strike.

Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!

From his fist a large amount of fire generated as he punched Uwe. The flames engulfed the super rookie as he was sent flying.

"AAAAAARGH! THIS HEAT… WHAT IS THIS!?"

Painful roars were heard from him as the flames kept coming. Thick black smoke appeared when the flames settled and the temperature around the area increased significantly.

But Natsu didn't stop there. He rushed inside the smoke and found the staggering super rookie.

"Damn you Natsu Dragneel!"

Iron Dragon's Scales!

Furious, Uwe once again coated his skin with the iron scales. But like in the battle before, they couldn't withstand the punches aimed at him. The Fairy Tail mage set his fists ablaze and started punching his opponent viciously.

"Magnolia… The people… Fairy Tail…" While his punches were breaking Blitztank's scales piece by piece, Natsu started uttering some words. However, Uwe was being pounded so badly that he just couldn't register anything. His face, his gut, his temple… There wasn't a single part of his body that he could protect.

"This speed… I just can't keep up with it… What is this guy made of!?" His thoughts wandered. After a blazing hot kick connected with his temple, the mage fell to the ground.

"I'm gonna punch you, kick you, for every one you've hurt!"

Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame!

Natsu brought both of his ignited fists together which resulted in an enormous eruption of flames. Unable to move a muscle, Blitztank just silently watched as his opponent's attack connected. Huge explosions followed up. The trio of Fairy Tail mages watching covered their faces and ran away from the sight as they tried avoiding getting hurt. When they reached a safe distance, they watched as Natsu came out of the smoke. Immediately, all of their faces started showing signs of joy.

"Natsuu! That was great!" Happy happily flew towards him.

"Hah... No big deal!" The pink haired smiled as he placed his hands behind his head.

All of them rejoiced for the time being as they thought that the day had finally come to an end.

"Geez… I was worried there for a moment you know." Lucy protruded her lips cutely and pouted. For a short moment, until Natsu jumped out of the debris, she really was scared. She has seen him in that kind of situation countless times. And she always believed that he would turn thing around, but she just couldn't help her feelings.

"But you were always going to win. Weren't you?" Now, her eyes softened up a bit as she was watching him. Her lips slightly curved as she smiled softly. Natsu did the same. As their gazes locked, a certain atmosphere was created.

That atmosphere resulted in the remaining two Fairy Tail making mischievous grins. Both of them placed their right hand over their mouth to cover it as they started giggling. Lucy, after realizing the situation blushed and moved away from her pink haired friend.

"W-What are you giggling for?" She asked while looking at them. Natsu across her, just scratched his head innocently as he wasn't aware of what was going on.

"Oooooooh… I'm so sorry we ruined the moment." Levy said.

"He loooooooves you..." Happy continued with his classical line.

As soon as he said that everyone started laughing. Even Lucy, albeit after a short moment of discomfort.

Then, while everything was seemingly rosy, Levy who was facing the direction where the battle took part, suddenly froze. Her eyes darkened and her mouth opened itself.

Noticing her sudden change in spirit, Lucy stopped laughing and asked her friend what was wrong. There was no answer from the blue haired, but when the celestial mage glanced in the same direction, she made the same reaction. At that moment, Natsu turned.

When the smoke cleared, in the middle of everything, Uwe was standing wobbly. His torso was exposed because all of his clothes burned from the temperature. On his body numerous burn marks were seen, blood gushing from above his eyebrow, his nose and his mouth. Shocked, all of the Fairy Tail mages looked at him disbelievingly.

"Huh…huh…Let me tell you one thing. If there is one thing I'm good at, it's taking punches. It's one of the things that just goes with the magic I use. And I've taken enough to be able to do this."

As he was speaking, he clenched his right fist and generated fire in it. The looks on Natsu and his friends' faces was all the reaction there was needed. Sweat coming from their foreheads, eyes widened and so on. The dragon slayer was probably the only one who kept some kind of composure.

Looking at them caused Uwe to grin.

"Like you would say Salamander. I'm getting fired up!"

Dragon Slayer's Secret Art!

Realizing what was about to happen, Natsu jumped in front of his guild mates and shouted.

"LUCY, HAPPY, LEVY! GET OUT OF HERE!"

Crimson Lotus: Exploding Flame Blade!

Blitztank swiped his arms in a circular fashion, creating a powerful, and highly destructive, torrent of flames. The flames traveled at a blinding pace and ultimately hit Natsu head on. Lucy and the rest were left unharmed as they escaped in time. A huge explosion followed. Once again smoke filled the area.

But, just like in the battle he had with Gajeel, his opponent stood in his place unfazed. His attack destroyed everything that it came in contact with, but Natsu didn't even have a scratch on him. He looked at him with a scary glare. It almost seemed like he was disgusted.

"Oy… What was up with those lame flames…?" He crouched a bit and ignited his whole body.

"DON'T YOU DARE TRY TO COPY THE MAGIC THAT IGNEEL TAUGHT ME!"

Fire Dragon's Roar!

Now Natsu unleashed his signature roar. As soon as the flames escaped from his mouth the temperature rose exponentially. The large stream was traveling to Blitztank incinerating anything that came in its way. Without a doubt it was an attack that the white haired could copy, but he could never produce such a destructive force. He knew that and yet, he was smiling. When the roar came to his near proximity he opened his mouth and started the feast. To the utter shock of everyone there, Uwe was sucking the flames like there was no tomorrow. Soon, Natsu's sure kill move ended up in his stomach.

After a burp, he looked at the expressions of his foes. Looking at them all flustered caused him to laugh loudly.

"Hah...Hah…HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

His laughter echoed throughout the vast streets of Magnolia. The Fairy Tail mages were irritated greatly, but their frozen expressions didn't change. They were that surprised.

"No way…." Happy said.

"He sucked them up just like Natsu would." Lucy said with her mouth agape.

"Gajeel… Is that why you…" Levy thought inside her mind.

"It was a good thing that I fought with Black Steel beforehand. Now I know how to fight with you." With his burning fists clenched, Uwe grinned at his foe.

Listening to him, the dragon slayer regained his focus and gritted his teeth.

"Yeah so what? I can eat your flames as well!"

Natsu rushed at Blitztank ready to strike him again.

Fire Dragon's Crushing Fang!

With his hand lit ablaze, Natsu swiped at the target in a claw-like fashion. But it ended up the same as before. With his foe absorbing the flames. This time he even caught his hand.

"You're right. If I strike at you with my flames we would only cancel each other out. That's why….. I have this."

Iron Dragon's Sword!

To Natsu's surprise, the hand that wasn't holding him transformed into a large, jagged steel blade. At that moment, he was completely unguarded. Uwe swung the long blade diagonally making a large cut on his opponent's chest. Blood splashed as a result.

"AAAAARG!"

Hurt, Natsu fell on his knees. Having finally the chance to counter attack, Blitztank didn't waste a single moment. While his opponent was down he transformed his right foot into a steel club and stomped on the dragon slayer. The ground tore from the impact as Natsu's face was being buried in the ground. Then he jumped and started shooting steel projectiles from his hands. All of them hit Natsu directly.

Lucy, who was watching covered her mouth in disbelief. Her skin was pale and her hands started shaking. Her eyes were empty. Behind her Happy was starring like he was looking at fiction. He just couldn't believe what he was seeing. Levy was the only one with an ounce of awareness.

"Snap out of it Lu-chan! Natsu needs our help!" She stood in front of Lucy and shook her out of her shock. A brief moment later, the blond came to her senses and nodded.

"Yeah…"

In the meanwhile Uwe was lashing out at his foe. A barrage of steeled strikes were connecting with the dragon slayer's skull. Natsu tried to counter with his burning kick, but the flames couldn't touch the super rookie. He would use the fire dragon slayer magic he copied as defense and then attacked with the iron dragon slayer magic he got from Gajeel.

Fire Dragon's Wing Attack!

The pink haired tried again with one of his attacks. He rushed at Blitztank and grabbed him before subsequently setting his hands ablaze. This attack would usually send his opponent flying, but nothing worked.

"How stupid are you? You keep coming at me with those attacks even though you know they can't touch me."

Uwe hardened his head and head-butted Natsu. The Fairy Tail mage took a few steps back after being hit. Using the distance that was created, the super rookie breathed in some air and tried with a roar again.

Iron Dragon's Roar!

He released the magic power he gathered and shot it towards his foe. The tornado of steel landed a direct hit, with the shards of metal shredding through Natsu's skin.

"HAHAHAHAHA! You're through Natsu Dragneel!" With the momentum completely on his side, the white haired laughed wickedly.

After being hit continually, the dragon slayer kept getting up. Multiple cuts were visible on his body. To add to that, the large wound on his chest was still bleeding. While panting heavily, he looked at Uwe.

"I already told you… Compared to Gajeel's roar… That was like a baby's." He said while glaring.

"You really are a stubborn fool." The white haired transformed his right hand into the iron sword from before and rushed at Natsu.

Regulus!

Suddenly, a blinding light appeared and caused Blitztank to stop his approach and shield his eyes. As he was standing he felt a strong blow on his cheek. The white haired was knocked down from the impact and fell to the ground face first. Surprised, Natsu was looking at the culprit in front of him. Oddly enough, the light that disrupted the copycat didn't have any effect on him.

"Hi there Natsu! You seem to be in a pinch."

Loke was standing in front of him with his fist enveloped by light. He had a small smirk on his face as he was talking.

"Eeeh… What are you talking about? I'm just fine." The mage answered while panting.

"Tch… Now I have another Fairy meddling in my business. "Slowly standing up, Uwe was holding the cheek that was punched a moment ago. After rubbing for a while he spit out a small amount of blood. The trio of Levy, Lucy and Happy were running to join the fray.

"Natsu! Are you alright?" Happy approached his friend and asked. Soon Lucy arrived worryingly as well and grabbed a hold of Natsu so he could lean on her. Her eyes were filled with concern only to be soothed by Natsu smirking at her.

Solid Script: Fire!

The word 'FIRE' was written in the sky and out came a stream of flames aimed at the dragon slayer. Natsu, after realizing just opened his mouth and let the fire enter.

"Here. Use this to replenish your strength a little." Levy, who was the one that created the fire said.

"Thanks Levy." The pink haired replied.

Now, all of them were facing Uwe. The super rookie grew incredibly annoyed with the development. He cracked his fingers and started side stretching. After his little routine he took a deep breath.

"Why must you struggle so much? This is getting really tiring. I planned to finish before lunch time, but it's almost dark now."

It was like the opposing sides took a small breather. The fighting stopped for a moment and everyone was just staring at each other.

"I think it's high time you told us just what it is you want with Levy. You said something about an ancient script right? What kind of script?" Using the short break Lucy tried questioning the super rookie.

Uwe on the other hand, seemed wonder-stricken with her question.

"What we want from her? Isn't it obvious? Levy McGarden is known throughout Fiore for her polyglotism. She can and has translated numerous old writings. That is the kind of ability that we need right now. We could've just gone to your guild with a request but you see… The things that we do aren't exactly…legal."

As the Fairy Tail mages were listening to his answer, all of them contracted their faces and glared at him. Unsatisfied with him, Lucy spoke up again.

"What is the ancient script about?" The blond took a few steps forward so that she could be the closest one to the super rookie.

When he heard her question a wide grin showed on his face. Moments later he started laughing loudly which irritated everyone.

"What's so funny?" Happy retorted.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Do you really think I'm the kind of idiot who would tell you something like that? What's enough is enough. You'll be finally coming with me Levy." Confidence was brimming within him as he spoke. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the blue haired arrogantly. Lucy gritted her teeth and was about to lash out at the white haired, but before she had the chance to, Levy passed by her and confronted the guy who has kept on trying to abduct her for the entire day.

"You already lost Uwe…"

Her words struck the white haired like a slap on his face. Astonished, he looked at her waiting for her to explain.

"I'm sure… I'm sure everyone already beat all of your allies. Even if you get a hold of me, there's no where you can run. Fairy Tail will follow you to the ends of the earth." While listening to her, her friends all smiled.

"Your friends are all probably on their way to the rune knights by now. If you surrender now, you might have a chance to save yourself and them from a terrifying fate. You may save them from the rage of Fairy Tail." She finished of her speech with a confident look in her eyes.

"Friends?" Uwe stopped at that specific word she said.

"You think I would bargain for their sake? Those scumbags are nothing but leeches who stick to me because of how great I am. They are being held by the rune knights? I DON'T CARE! I can find new followers anytime. What's important is that I get you to translate what I need you to translate. If all of them are caught in the process... well, that's just the way it turned out."

The white haired was completely unfazed by Levy's words. He just continued looking calmly at the blue haired as if the fate of his allies didn't concern him. The fact that he was so cold about it enraged the Fairy Tail mages further. Natsu removed Lucy's hand from around his shoulder which caused her to raise an eyebrow. Then he approached Uwe. His eyes couldn't be seen as they were covered by the shadow from his hair.

"Bastard … Weren't they your comrades?" He clenched his fists angrily as he was speaking.

"What of it?" The super rookie raised his head slightly and took a battle stance fully aware of Natsu's intentions.

Lightning Fire Dragon Mode!

All of a sudden the dragon slayer was engulfed in a large amount of flames combined with what seemed to be lightning. The release of the magic power forced Lucy and the rest to take a few steps back. Uwe was frozen in place from shock.

"L-Lightning fire!?" He shouted loudly as he was watching this unbelievable scene in front of him.

"What is this? You didn't use a technique like this in the Grand Magic Games!" He took a few steps back, unsure of what was going to happen. But then he figured that whatever it was, he would just end up copying it.

"I'm going to end this… BASTARD!" Natsu roared as he prepared himself.

Lightning Fire Dragon's Firing Hammer!

He ran franticly with his right fist and forearm surrounded by the magical matter. Blitztank was just standing, waiting to be hit so he could gain that ability. A feat that he will come to regret very soon. The dragon slayer stopped in front of him and dished out a devastating blow. The ground broke from the impact. Even after the attack connected a large stream of fire and lightning followed up.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Uwe was completely overwhelmed by the power. Pain coursed through his body as he was enveloped by the combined destructive force of both fire and lightning. He tried absorbing the flames, but he couldn't do it. It only caused more pain for him.

"W-What is this!?" I-It's too strong for the lacrima!This pain…I'm breaking apart!"

A single thought flashed through his mind as he gave in. The powerful strike catapulted him backwards. On his way he crashed with numerous walls, but he broke through every single one of them. He let out a small, painful cry as he slowly lost his consciousness. He was lying on the ground beaten completely. Smoke coming from his body from all the heat.

Across him, Natsu was standing in the same posture he did while punching his opponent. With his fist stretched out. Then, he lowered his arm and looked at the fallen super rookie. Behind him, his friends jumped ecstatically. Lucy and Levy hugged each other with smiles decorating their faces while Happy grew wing and levitated with his paw raised and with his signature Aye on his lips. Loke tried using this chance to get in between the two girls, but before he had the chance to the blond forced his gate to close and he returned to his own world.

"That's what you get for hurting my comrades." Natsu said. The lightning around his body stopped and he was now in his normal state. His comrades jumped on him and hugged him while Levy stood behind and watched them.

"It's finally over…" Lucy said with a huge sigh of relief. But as if they just couldn't relax, two voices sounded themselves.

"Uwe-samaaaaaa!"

"I-Impossible! Our great master downed?"

While holding the unconscious body of Uwe in their arms, Kentaro and Jama stood there in shock and disbelief. The Fairy Tail mages stopped their hugging and stepped back from each other. They were slightly on edge since they thought that this battle was over. The two Rusalka mages raised their heads and looked at the team that defeated their master. Slowly raising their bodies, they glared at them.

"What blasphemy! The great Uwe Blitztank, defeated by those weaklings? I refuse to believe this!"

Kentaro screamed at the quartet of mages opposed to him. A large vein popped on his forehead and he was gritting his teeth intensively. Jama on the other hand donned a much calmer demeanor. But he was furious as well.

Then their eyes registered Levy standing beside Natsu and the rest.

"Levy McGarden? If we capture her here… Then all of this won't end up a failure." Hearing them, Levy flinched.

"Levy McGarden… You're beauty is immense. Just calmly surrender yourself." Jama, who was now in his human form, eyed the blue haired.

"Just when I thought we were done with you basta… AAAAAAARGH!" Natsu cracked his knuckles and was about charge in again. But then, he suddenly collapsed to the ground.

"NATSUUUU! What's wrong?" Lucy immediately caught the pink haired and asked. However, when she looked at him she knew. The wound he received from Blitztank was still bleeding. In fact, it was the whole time. He endured it all till this point, but finally he gave in.

Witnessing the sudden turn of events, Kentaro and Jama chuckled.

"How unfortunate. Your biggest hope just kicked the bucket. And it's getting even worse for you…" As the crimson haired was speaking, the tide turned against the Fairy Tail mages. From the shadows, seven of the remaining Rusalka mages emerged and surrounded them.

Outnumbered, tired and with their magic depleted. Things didn't look rosy for Lucy and her friends. Levy and her stood back to back and looked around them. The blond could still summon a spirit or two, but she knew that with her magic being low, that wouldn't last. She closed her eyes and hoped for the best.

Then, she heard footsteps. More and more of them. At first she thought that the Rusalka mages were attacking. But that wasn't the case. There was too much of a racket compared to how many people there were. Confused, she opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was Kentaro and Jama with pale faces and sweat on them. When she tilted her head right and left, everything became clear. Around them, all of her comrades were staying, the entire guild.

"Sorry it took us so long."

A familiar voice caused Lucy to widen her mouth from happiness. There, Erza was standing in her Heaven's wheel armor. Besides her, Juvia was smiling at her while carrying a slightly bumped Gray who was smiling at her as well. Mira, Elfman, Cana, Laxus… Everyone that fought today gathered at that spot to help their guild mates.

"Everyone…." With teary eyes. Lucy smiled at them.

"Gajeel! You're alright!" Levy noticed Gajeel within the crowd and immediately rushed to his side. He didn't give any response, He just looked at the unconscious Uwe.

"How did you knew where we were?" Happy used this moment to question Wendy who immediately went to treat the injured Natsu.

"Carla went to scout the area and she saw you guys fighting with someone. So we rushed as soon as we heard." Behind her the small feline cat was standing.

"Carlaaaa!" Happy let out a joyous cry as he went to see his crush.

"Geez you're so hopeless…" With a smile, she answered to him.

"It all stops here… In this place, all of you fiends will suffer the consequences of your actions."

Erza pointed her sword at the group of mages and glared at them. Her expression gave away all the pent up resentment that she had for them. It was an expression that, at that moment the entire group of them had on their faces. They charged up their magic in their hands and were about to deliver the finishing blow.

"N-No… This can't be happening… We can't lose like this…" Kentaro fell to his knees out of desperation. They had nowhere to run and all those powerful mages pitted against them. If it wasn't for one unlikely savior, they would've fallen at that point.

Smoke screen!

The area was filled with smoke. It all happened so fast, that the Fairy Tail mages had no time to react. Loud coughing was heard as most of them had trouble breathing in the smoke.

"Wendy! Use your wind to clear the air." The scarlet haired shouted so her little friend could hear her. She was guarding her eyes and mouth.

"A-Alright." Wendy nodded in confirmation.

Sky Dragon's Roar!

The petite girl let out her roar. Strong currents of wind escaped her mouth and cleared the smoke.

Now that the air was clear, they were about to charge after the enemies. However…. They were nowhere to be found. All of them vanished in to thin air. Anger was showing on Erza's face. She outstretched her arm and shouted to her guild mates.

"Curses… Everyone! They can't be far. Spread out and find them!"

…..

In a narrow neighborhood one or two blocks away, the remaining Rusalka mages gathered. Their surroundings were surprisingly unharmed considering the havoc they created across town. They lied down their unconscious leader and sat around him.

"You're timing was impeccable Jirama. Who would've taught that you're were going to be the one to save the day." Kentaro was sitting beside his leader's head and looked at Jirama.

"Ugh… Thank you, Kentaro-sama!" The overweight mage smiled shyly as he was being praised. Truth to be told, if it wasn't for him randomly coming across them, they would've probably been annihilated.

As the beaten mages were trying to catch a breath, Uwe started moving. Slowly he opened his eyes and regained consciousness. When they saw their leader waking up, Kentaro and Jama jumped from happiness and approached him.

"W-Wha… Where am I?" He asked his two subordinates while holding his head.

"Welcome back Uwe-sama. I'm glad that you've came to." The elderly man greeted. Behind him Jama was nodding.

As the super rookie was getting up, the pain from his battle with Natsu made it difficult for him to move. While feeling the agony from his wounds, he started recollecting the past events.

"NATSU DRAGNELL! Where is he?" He jumped as the image of the pink haired dragon slayer flashed through his mind. After the sudden movement, his wounds started to ache and he crouched on his knee.

"Uwe-sama! Please be careful! Natsu Dragneel is not here." Jama grabbed ahold of him and said.

"Not here? What do you mean? I was just fighting with him." Dazzled, Uwe looked at the duo.

"Yes master. But soon all of the remaining Fairy Tail members came so we had no choice but to escape. Jirama used his smoke screen to confuse the opponent and luckily, one of the foot soldiers was an expert in teleportation magic." Kentaro was calmly explaining the past events. His words caused Blitztank's vein to pop up. Except the line "so we had no choice but to escape" he blocked out all other information. He got up on his two legs and punched the mage trying to explain everything. His action brought an expression of disbelief on everyone's faces. Kentaro, who fell to the ground, rubbed his cheek and looked at his leader shocked.

"YOU COMPLETE BONEHEADS!" Uwe roared at the mages.

"THERE SHE WAS. WAITING TO BE TAKEN. AND WHAT DO YOU IDIOTS DO? YOU RUN AWAY! "Steam was coming out from his ears as he was screaming. His face was red from all the fury.

"B-But Uwe-sama… We were surrounded.." Jama tried to explain.

"I DON'T CARE! YOU SHOUL'VE WENT FOR IT, EVEN AT THE COST OF DYING. GO BACK THIS INSTANT!" The super rookie ordered.

The Rusalka mages were looking at each other. What Blitztank was telling them was unreasonable and yet, all of them were about to oblige and head out.

But then…

"Wow… I'm amazed at how stupid you are." A voice sounded itself and echoed around. Shock broke out as they were unsure who it was that said it. They started looking around thinking that one of them might have shown disrespect to their master.

"Who dared call me stupid…?" Uwe was absolutely livid. Multiple veins popped up on his face. He looked around, ready to end the life of anyone who it may be.

"Up here!" The voice was heard again. Blitztank raised his head above. There, on top of one of the buildings, a man with spiky black hair was sitting. He had green cargo pants, white boots and a grey t-shirt.

When the super rookie caught a glance of the man, he made an unimpressed expression.

"Who the hell are you?"

"Not only do you manage to lose in a conflict with numbers greatly in your favor. But now you want to send your soldiers out again even though they're both wounded and have their moral depleted? Congratulations! You're an idiot." The teen assumed a mocking sound in his voice. His words enraged not only Uwe, but the Rusalka mages as well. It was at that moment that Jirama remembered the face of the man.

"Uwe-sama! That's him! He's the one who beat up Majira and Ramaji." He was all flustered as he was speaking, thinking of how easy he disposed of his friends. The white haired looked at his subordinate and then diverted back to look at the black haired. After watching him for a while he started chuckling. As a result all of the mages around besides Jirama chuckled as well. Then it all turned into laughter.

"HAHAHAHA! Man, I needed this. Here you are calling me stupid. Hahahaha. In case you didn't notice, you're facing the group that did this to the entire town of Magnolia. Maybe you're feeling safe up there. But surely, provoking us isn't that smart either." Uwe was struggling to speak as his laughter was constantly mixing in. The teen atop the building listened carefully to what he had to say. He didn't change his emotionless expression even for a second and when the super rookie finished, he stood up.

"Your kind never ceases to amaze me. I have never seen a race that could taunt me arrogantly at one minute and then bow before me the next. And now that you had a laugh, It's time you for me to make you bow your head. After all the frustration you caused me, I'm looking forward to this." The saiyan cracked his knuckles as he was speaking.

The mages below stopped laughing and turned their heads towards their leader. He adopted a serious expression and flared up his fist.

"I don't have time for smartasses running their mouths. Why don't you come down here?"

"Come down? Down belittle me worm. I can take you all out from here." As she spoke, he rose his right hand with his index and middle fingers up. While making this movement, two words slipped from his mouth.

"Giant Storm!"

…

"Phew… Thanks Wendy, you're a life savior." Natsu was lying on the ground as Wendy had just finished healing him.

"No problem Natsu-san. I'm always here to help." While wiping the sweat from her forehead, she answered.

"Yeah but make sure you don't overdo it. Okay?" Carla made sure that her friend doesn't overexert herself.

At the moment, Natsu and Gray were lying on the ground with Lucy, Wendy and Juvia around them. The two exceeds, Happy and Carla were there as well.

"This doesn't feel right… Us staying here while everyone is out searching for them." Gray said. Back when the team of him and Juvia defeated Guido he was left lying injured heavily. He had insane luck that Wendy wasn't far away from where they were.

"Don't complain. You guys need your rest, you were wounded really badly." Lucy retorted. For the first time in a while, it was peaceful. They turned their heads towards the fleeing sun and watched it set. It was the perfect end for a bad day. But what happened next took everything to a whole new level.

The ground started shaking heavily. Before they had the chance to react to the sudden change, a great explosion was heard. The Fairy Tail mages turned their heads to the source and widened their eyes. Thick, black smoke rose not too far away from where they were standing.

"What was that?" Carla said while clinging to Wendy. Their friends all looked at each other. Then, Natsu stood up and said.

"Let's go and see for ourselves." And he immediately started running towards that place. Soon, all of his friends did the same. They ran for a minute or two and then arrived. And when they did, they stood at their places, frozen. The whole neighborhood was wiped out. It was like a large chunk of the ground was missing. Debris falling from the sky, no sign of the buildings that once stood there. Completely perplexed, they looked left and right for some kind of explanation. Then they noticed something in the crater. Uwe Blitztank was lying unconscious with numerous dolls around him.

….

The next day things calmed down greatly. The townspeople returned to their homes, or what was left of them. A period of adaptation will have to follow. In this crisis that occurred, the town was damaged heavily. Luckily, no building with historic value was crashed. Inside the Fairy Tail guild hall things were much more hectic than usual. As the main guild in the city, they took it upon there selves to help the misfortunate. Some of them were cleaning the mess. Others were helping with the construction works, while others went out of town to gather necessities. A door opened and out came the master of the guild with a certain young man. He had bluish silver hair, most of which were spiky strands that jut upwards on top of his head, except for some which kept pointing down and partially cover the upper left part of his face. His eyes were slanted, with dark round pupils and surrounded by similarly dark lines. He had small, linear, dark eyebrows. It was Lyon Vastia from Lamia Scale.

"Once again I would like to apologize for everything that happened. I can assure you that everyone in guild feels the same. It probably isn't much, but we would like to help with the restoration of the town as soon as possible." He bowed down in an apologetic matter while talking to Makarov.

"There's no need for you to go that far. After all, this incident caused harm within your ranks as well." The short, elderly man said with a straight face.

"Yes, Blitztank's actions surprised us all. He was there for only a short while, but he didn't struck me as the kind of character that would do something like this." Lyon narrowed his eyes a bit and looked down.

"I understand that he's already being transported to the council." Fairy Tail's master tried to change the subject seeing that his interlocutor was feeling down.

"Yes I heard that as well. The matter of erasing his guild mark will be done by the rune nights. That being said, I have nothing left to do so I bid you farewell." Lyon waved at the old man and went for the exit.

"You're not planning on saying hi to Gray? It won't be long before he comes back."

"No. With all that has happened I'm needed back at the guild. Say hi to Gray and Juvia for me. Good bye." With a wave from his hand, the ice mage left the building.

For a moment, Makarov stood on his spot and thought. It didn't take long because soon, Levy interrupted him.

"Master!" The young mage approached him while carrying a bunch of papers. She was wearing the Gale-Force Reading Glasses.

"Oh, Levy. How are you feeling?" Fairy Tail's master turned around to look at her.

"I'm fine master. Gajeel on the other hand…" Levy made a sorrowful look as she was speaking. Gajeel has been really quiet since yesterday due to him being defeated by Uwe.

"I see… You shouldn't worry. He isn't the type of guy who would let something like this get to him. More importantly, about your research."

"Yes. I thought something sounded fishy when Uwe said that he had a lacrima implanted inside him at the same time the super rookies emerged a year ago. After contacting their guilds I found out something interesting. Turns out that all of them went missing today." The blue haired was searching through the papers she brought and took out four pages. Then she handed them to Makarov.

"This doesn't seem over yet." Makarov took the papers and started inspecting them.

…

Somewhere in the forest on the outskirt of Magnolia, the team of Lucy, Natsu, Happy, Erza and Gray were heading back from a job. They were entrusted with the task of gathering medicinal plants from Mt. Hakobe and delivering them to the town's hospital.

"Brrrrr… I'm still cold from digging through the snow." Lucy was shaking and holding herself in an attempt to raise her body temperature.

"Cold? But you were inside Horologium the entire time." Gray, who was currently topless made a dumbfounded face as he heard his friend complaining.

"But I'm a delicate lady! I just can't stand the cold." The blond put her right hand on her forehead and said seductively. It was as though she was playing the typical damsel in distress.

"Yeah right! Delicate lady my ass." Natsu passed the duo and continued walking ahead with his arms behind his back.

"I don't need any comments from you!" Lucy snapped at the dragon slayer angrily. After hearing her out, he turned around and looked at her.

"I you were that cold you should've told me. I would've warmed you up real soon." He flared up his fist and grinned at her.

"More like roast me…" The celestial mage face palmed after saying that.

"Now now. Be nice to each other." Erza stepped in on the conversation and made sure to ease the tension a bit.

As they were walking, something started moving in the bushes. Immediately, all of them took their battle stances and prepared themselves. Out of the bushes came a large wild boar.

"Oooooooooh. Look Happy! It's lunch." Natsu got excited and pointed at the animal.

"Nah… I'd rather have fish." Happy waved his paw and turned his head.

"Great! That means more meat for me."

Fire Dragon's Roar!

The pink haired took a deep breath and released his dragon's roar.

"What are you doing you idiot? Don't go firing of your roar in the middle of a forest." Gray took a step forward and shouted at his rival.

"Look there's smoke!" Lucy pointed her finger at smoke that started to raise.

"Quickly! We need to take the fire out before it spreads" Erza rushed her team mates and went towards the fire.

They passed the bushes and found themselves in a clearing near the river. They looked around and saw a large fire.

"Good thing that there's water here." The blond took out the key of the water bearer and was about to summon Aquarius.

"You don't need to call her. I got this." Gray reassured her that her spirit wasn't needed.

He places his hands sideways and enveloped the flames in ice. As the ice was melting from the heat, the water put out the flames.

"Geez flame brain. Why do I have to be the one to clean up your mess?" The ice mage smirked at Natsu which caused great displeasure for him. They bumped their foreheads against each other and started arguing. As the usual scene was unfolding, Erza noticed something.

"The ashes… Something is there." All of them stopped whatever it was they were doing and looked at Erza. And she was right. At the place where the fire was burning, remains of what seemed to be a tent could be seen.

"Is that… a tent?" Lucy asked confused.

Then, footsteps could be heard. The quartet plus Cat turned around. There, a black haired teen emerged.

"Who the hell are you?" He looked at the unfamiliar faces in front of him with a cold glare on his face.

At that moment, Lucy widened her eyes as he came to a realization.

"You're…" She was about to say something but then was interrupted by the saiyan.

While he was looking at them he could smell something burnt. Looking behind them he saw what was once his tent. He widened his eyes and ran off to it.

"What in the…" The teen passed by the Fairy Tail mages and went to look inside the tent. He threw away the remainder of the tent and looked inside. The pillow he had and the blanked were burnt completely. Even the change of clothes he had was no more. But that wasn't the thing that he was looking for. He turned his head to the right and saw his backpack. It had ashes on him but ultimately wasn't burned. The saiyan took a breath of relieve. Then however, he clenched his fists and stood up. He turned around to face the mages and glared at them.

"Who did this?"

Lucy, Erza, Gray, Happy and Natsu all started sweating. Especially the pink haired.

"That wouldn't belong to you… Or does it?" Natsu pointed at the tent with shaking hands. He was sweating severely. The saiyan however didn't have the patience to listen to him.

"I SAID, WHOT DID THIS?" He roared at them asking for an answer. The one who were to answer him was Erza.

"I'm terribly sorry for what my friend has done. I will make it my personal obligation to make him pay the expenses. So please, I beg of you to forgive him." Erza bowed her head apologetically and asked for forgiveness. While bowing she had Natsu in plain sight. With one glare the dragon slayer knew what to do. He went down on all fours and started apologizing.

"Sorry, sorry, sorry." He repeatedly asked for forgiveness. Upon identifying the culprit, the saiyan took a few steps forwards with fists clenched and ready to punch.

"So it was you…" He was approaching the pink haired steadily until Lucy came in between them.

"It is you!" Excited, she pointed at the male.

"Excuse me?" The saiyan looked at her dumbfounded. And the rest of her team mates shared the same expression.

"Lucy… Do you know this guy?" Gray asked.

"Mhm! He's the guy I was talking to you about. The guy who helped me the other day." She turned to her friends and explained. Then she reverted back to face the saiyan and said.

"I'm so glad I got to see you again! Although the circumstances could be better. Hehe." She put her right hand on her heads crown and scratched it. She closed her eyes and tilted her head to the right.

It took a few moments of looking at her for the black haired to remember.

"Oh… The girl from the other day." He said in an indifferent tone.

The Fairy Tail mages all looked at him. Then they approached.

"So you're the guy who helped Lucy out. Thanks for taking care of her." Gray stretched out his hand to greet the saiyan, but was meet with a cold shoulder.

"What kind of person greets someone after burning their belongings?" He asked a simple question. All of them sweat dropped the moment he asked them.

"Oh that! Well…we're sorry…hahaha…" The ice mage was visibly uncomfortable as he was speaking. And the teen didn't make it any easier.

"What are you laughing about?" He gritted his teeth as he was watching Gray running out of things to say. Then Happy pulled him by his pants' leg.

"Mister… Natsu might be an idiot, but he can be quite reliable. I'm sure he'll buy you a new tent." The blued cat reassured that they will pay the expenses.

The saiyan didn't listen to a word that Happy said. Instead, he was just watching him, keeping the same expression he's having the entire time.

"A talking pet? It's my first time seeing something like this."

"Happy is right! I might not look like it, but I will rectify for what I did." Natsu placed his fist to his chest and made a serious expression. All of his friends nodded as they looked at him.

The black haired looked around him and took a deep breath.

"Just get out of my sight. I don't need you to do anything. Just get lost." As he said those words, he turned his back to the mages and started walking away.

"Wait! I still haven' repaid you for helping me!" Lucy stopped the man that saved her. He stood still and looked at her.

"You haven't even told me your name." She looked him right in the eyes.

He simply shrugged her off and continued leaving.

"I already told you. I wasn't helping you. I simple made a way for me to pass."

With those words he walked away. The Fairy Tail mages all looked at him. Lucy had a small ounce of sadness in her eyes. Then, something odd happened.

As he was about to leave, the teen's stomach started growling loudly. REALLY loudly. Instantly, he stopped. Lucy, Erza, Natsu and the rest all looked at him confused. Realizing they were staring at him, he blushed and turned around.

"What are you looking at? I haven't eaten in days. Of course it'd be this loud." He lashed out at them. His reaction caused even more discomfort amongst the mages. They pointed their palms at him suggesting that they weren't thinking anything. Lucy however started grinning.

…..

"Wow… This is unreal…" Inside the guild, something was happening that caught everyone's attention.

"Mph….Mph… Bring another bowl!"

At the bar, someone unfamiliar was chowing down everything that stood in front of him. And at this point, everything wasn't an exaggeration. He had already eaten over twenty bowls of food.

"My my. You sure have a healthy appetite." On the other side of the bar, Mirajane was working hard to prepare everything. The workload was so high that she even had Elfman help her in the kitchen.

On the nearest table to the bar, Lucy was sitting with tears in her eyes.

"You know… I did say that I'd buy you anything to eat that you wanted. But still…" The blond slowly started regretting her decision. She was thrilled when he accepted her offer and thought that it was the right time to repay him. But not even in her wildest dreams could she have thought that he'd have such an appetite.

"Wow Natsu! He can eat even more than you!" Happy was shocked at the sight in front of him.

"No kiddin…'" Gray agreed with the blue fur ball.

Amongst the members not involved with them, talk started circulating.

"Who the hell is this kid?"

"Didn't you hear? He's the guy that saved Lucy the other day."

"Wow… That guy can eat even more than Natsu!"

"Is it just me or does he seem handsome?"

Beside him Cana was sitting and enjoying her usual ritual o mindless drinking.

"So you're the guy that saved Lucy? Here, let me buy you a drink."

"Pour it down." The black haired offered his mug to the mage and allowed her to pour the liquor she was drinking.

"Mira! I'm scared to ask. But what's the bill?" Lucy approached the bar and sat beside the new founded drinking buddies.

"Well… At the pace he's eating… It will soon be half you rent." The take-over mage responded with a bright smile. Something only she could do at this time.

The blond froze. Without saying anything, she just slammed her face to the wooden bar.

"W-Well I guess this is the least I can do." Then she sighted and turned to face the saiyan.

"Tape three I guess hehe. I'm Lucy and thank you for helping me." She closed her eyes and smiled brightly.

The black haired stopped eating for a moment and thought.

"Alex…" was all he said.

"What?" The celestial mage couldn't hear him clearly.

"I said my name was Alex." As soon as he ousted those words he continued eating. Lucy looked at him happily.

"Nice to meet you Alex." Soon, her teammates joined in as well.

"So your name is Alex. I'm Erza Scarlet. Nice to meet you."

"Gray Fullbuster. Nice to meet you as well."

"I'm Happy!"

Lastly, Natsu approached with a bright smile on him. He probably forgot the fact that he burned the poor guy's tent not too long ago.

"I'm Fairy Tail's Natsu Dragneel. Nice to meet you." Alex just continued with his meal, not paying too much attention to them. The mages were a bit annoyed, but considering the circumstances, they thought it was only natural. Well everyone besides Natsu that is.

"Man I'm so glad we put all that stuff with me burning your tent behind us." The dragon slayer grinned happily. His friends flinched at his words and tried to stop him.

"What where you doing with a tent anyway? Don't tell me! You were camping." He tried to start a casual conversation with the saiyan. But Alex wasn't in the mood for small talk. After listening to Natsu, he stopped eating and stood up.

"I'm done." He took his backpack from bellow his feet and held it in his right hand. As he was about to leave, he stood in front the dragon slayer and looked him in the eyes.

"No I wasn't camping. That tent was where I was living. You idiot burned down both my house and everything I had." With those words he started walking towards the exit. Natsu stood at his spot motionless. He widened his eyes and mouth. Now he realized the weight of what he had done. The rest of his teammates as well. They looked at Alex's back with sadness and sorrow in their eyes. Lucy covered her mouth with her hands, Gray just looked down without saying anything and Erza bit her lower lip.

In the middle of him leaving, Alex stopped.

"Thanks for the food." He said and left for the door.

As he was about to grab the doorknob, the doors of the guild opened. The one who opened it were Wendy and Carla. The two stopped when they saw the unfamiliar face in front of them.

"Uhm… Who are you?" The sky maiden asked shyly.

Alex however, stood frozen. He widened his eyes and mouth. Sweat started running from his face.

"Zuzuchi…"

…

That's it for chapter 5. This one was a bit longer than the rest. I said again that I would finish in two weeks and I failed again. The saiyan s finally an active part of the plot. From this point on he'll get more and more attention. Although I will focus on other characters at times. There's been some reviews so I'll react to them

Elvisfonz23: Again, thank you for the support. Hope you like this chapter.

Guest: Turlesanddafruit: Thanks.

JensenDaniels32: 3 comments… Well… OK… I'm sorry you hated it.

Guest: Kyokathebadassdemon: You're probably right. But the pacing is just how I wanted things to turn out. I'll consider speeding up things.

With everything being said, the story is heating up a bit so if there's anyone who liked this watch out for the next update.
