Natsu leaned against the Window of the train carriage looking out at the sky, a familiar warmth pulsed on his arm but he ignored it, Erza had her head rest on his shoulder and her soft snores filled the air as she slept her way back to Magnolia. He shifted slightly and pulled his collar away revealing the crimson mark on his shoulder, the thing had changed again since the night he had gotten it, instead of just a single wing, it was know an entire dragon, the red beast curled on his shoulder looked to be asleep, he chuckled slightly as he looked down at it 'I wonder what the guild will think about this.' He thought as he returned to looking out the window.
"So you did get one too," The voice startled Natsu slightly, and his whipped around to Raken, sitting across from him 'I thought he was asleep.' "I had a feeling something was different with you, Big brother."
Natsu nodded "Yeah, I saw your on the first day."
Raken just sighed "What do you think the guild's gonna say?"
"There is no law that says we have to reveal our personal lives, besides me and Erza have been dating for awhile people probably already think we have done it." Natsu explained flatly.
Raken let a small smile tug at his face before it pulled into a wide grin, "Do ever think it would feel so good?"
Natsu's eyes widened slightly in surprise 'In all my years I never thought me and my brother would ever talk about how good sex feels.' He thought with a chuckle. "I can honestly say I didn't." Natsu answered.
Raken rubbed his hands together nervously "All right I think it would be best if we kept our sexual exploit to ourselves, I was just overly excited."
Natsu nodded "I think that would be best, I don't really want to have this discussion with you anyway."
Natsu's eyes flickered over Wendy's unconscious form, she slept in a mirror form to Erza, she stirred suddenly and sat up with a loud yawn stretching her arms above her head, Erza Did the same. Natsu shook his head slightly and returned to looking out the window.
The small group of four made their way through the quickly darkening streets of Magnolia, the sun was setting and it painted the sky in red blue orange and yellow, Natsu looked up at the sky and let out a long contented sigh 'Feels good to be home again.' He thought a smiled spread across his face.
"ERRRRRRRRRZA!" The group spun around to see a very familiar blue cat rocketing towards them, followed closely by the white image of Carla. He impacted Erza's chest with a light thud.
"I-It's horrible they attacked us, Levy Jet and Droy are in the hospital…What took you guys so long?" Happy said a few tears streaming down his face.
"Wait, happy who attacked? Are Levy and the guys alright?" Erza demanded.
"They are going to be fine, they are in a medical induced Coma at the moment so they can heal. As for who attacked you it was-."
"Phantom Lord," Natsu growled in a low dangerous voice, before spinning on his heel and stalking towards the guild hall fury written all over his features, he stopped and turned his head "You guys coming?"
They all nodded and fell into step beside him, the saw the guild hall as the rounded the corner, Wendy let out a surprised gasp, and Natsu gritted his teeth, Raken took a mental note to level Phantom completely. Erza just walked behind them she knew exactly who hit the hall now and she was going to teach him a very long and painful lesson.
The group walked down the stairs into Fairy Tails basement, the entire guild was spread out in front of them with the absence of Laxus and the Thunder legion, Makarov wore his wizards saints cloak and stood at the head of the small army of wizards.
"It's about time you kids got here," Makarov said in barely contained anger "We were about to leave without you, are you ready to give it back to Phantom tenfold?"
The group nodded in unison.
"Good." Makarov replied angrily.
The Phantom guild sat and celebrated their recent 'Victory' Over Fairy tail, A small group of three were walking towards the large doors of their guild hall, the loud crunch of iron could be heard as Gajeel ate his fill.
The group continued to converse as they got to the door before the one in the middle turned around "We are off to see if we can clip some Fairy wings as well!" He shouted raising his fist into the air. The guild cheered, before the whole room seemed to rumble, a few loose stones falling from the ceiling "Is this an earthquake?" A member called out a little panic in his voice.
The door erupted in a golden explosion sending the small group hurtling into the far wall "When this is over, you will be praying that it was an earthquake." Natsu called out defiantly, as the loud popping on his knuckled being cracked rang out in the room.
Gajeel let his head turn lazily to the door, seeing his long time rival standing to the left of old man Makarov brought a wide smile to his face.
"We have already proved Fairy Tails weakness once, we can do it again!" A man shouted.
"Attacking a guild with no one inside, certainly proves your unstoppable power." Raken shouted in mock respect.
"Natsu I will leave you to deal with this rabble, I am going to have a nice…chat with Jose." Makarov said an almost evil smile spreading across his face.
Natsu just nodded, before darting forward slamming his palm into the face of one of Phantoms guild members the fight began with that. Natsu pulled the sword from his back and jumped back avoided the assortment of weapons sent towards him, the mages wielding weapons jumped back, and a line of them sent large bursts of fire towards him, they neared his body before veering off the left, a loud slurping was heard before Erza wiped at her mouth, "Thanks for that." Was all she said as she reared her head back, sending the fire the mages had just used against them back, it slammed into the group of Phantom's mages spraying Natsu with bits of concrete. Raken observed the small exchange before turning to Wendy, holding up his forearm, she hit hers against his with a firm nod "Hey Natsu, bet you 5000 jule, that I end up beating more of them then you!" Raken called out.
"You're on!" Natsu called back as he ripping his sword free from a random phantoms abdomen.
Raken bent down slightly before shouting 'Meteor.' He was enveloped in golden light, as he flew at phantom with blinding speed. He fist impacted with the face of one of them 'One,' rang out in his mid as he made sure to keep count.
Natsu was requipped into his heavens wheel armor, with a heavy clang he braced his body against the many weapons currently bearing down on him, he let a victorious smile spread across his face, as a burst of telekinetic energy staggered his opponents away from him, he raised his hand and a few of his large assortment of weapons flew at them. '20'
Erza's head darted around her looking for the black-haired dragon slayer of Phantom, a large group of Phantom surrounded her and she inwardly groaned, she raised her hands above her head "Fire Dragon Wing Attack!" She shouted as she pulled her arms down and whipped the around herself, sending the men flying in random directions, there was a loud clang of metal and she turned her head to see a black iron rod pounded Nab, through the ground.
"Is he crazy he took out his own guild members with that attack!" Gray called out in surprise. Another bar flew towards a clustered group of Fairy tail, before a loud bang of metal impacting metal rang out around the room, Elfman stood in front of the clustered group with a firm grip on Gajeel's elongated arm. Gajeel smiled at the prospect of a challenge, Elfman brought his other hand up and hoisted the metal bring Gajeel down to their level by slamming him into to ground, Gajeel got up with a smile on his face.
"Well well, if it isn't beast man Elfman." Gajeel said with a slow clap.
"You were the one that leveled our empty guild hall, a realm man would have just come and faced us!" Elfman challenged raising his fist into the air.
Gajeel flew of the ground towards him, throwing a large metal bar towards him, the same result Elfman caught it in his morphed hand "your pretty strong big guy." Gajeel admitted.
"Well I'm a Real man!" Elfman retorted.
Gajeel chuckled "Well then let's see how you handle this!" The bar slowly changed, a few thinner pieces of metal flew out of it, slamming into Gajeel's own guild members. Elfman stared in wide eyed shock at his opponent.
"They were part of your won guild! Why would you attack them?!" Elfman demanded.
"I knew it'd distract you!" Gajeel let out a victorious shout as he upper-cutted Elfman into the air, Gajeel stood with his hand in the same position a victorious smirk across his face.
"Fire Dragon Iron Fist!" Erza shouted, using Elfman like a spring board to change direction in mid air, slamming her flame-engulfed fist into Gajeel's jaw sending him hurtling into the wall.
"She sent Gajeel flying? I have never even seen him take a hit before?" The surrounding members edged away from the fiery redhead.
Gajeel pulled himself from the wall, and reset his jaw with a wide smile "Bout time you showed up Salamander." He taunted.
Erza turned to Elfman "Go Help the others, He's mine." She growled dangerously.
"What the hell you use me as a spring board, then you take me manly fight?" Elfman demanded a little annoyed.
"I'll pay you back, I promise." Erza said flatly turning back to her opponent.
"Alright but you owe me one!" Elfman shouted he flew back into action.
Natsu stood in front of a large group of Phantom, his sword disappeared and he pulled a set of black gloves from seemingly the air "Is he mocking us!" One of the men roared, Natsu slipped the gloved on and requipped to his high colored trench coat, the black material split at the waist and flowed in two separate pieces stopping at around his knee, he smirked as he dropped his weight and brought his fists up.
"Kill Him!" One of the men roared, as the group charged, the all ran into a seemingly invisible wall, on second observation they could see things were slightly distorted on the other side, Natsu reared his hand back and pounded the brick of energy, sending it flying through the ground up men, the ones that weren't scattered instantly converged on him and he ducked and weaved their strikes, he booted one man in the stomach as he lurched forward he brought his elbow down hard, the man crumpled to the ground unconscious, Natsu started to put a little of his magic energy behind his strikes as he moved he slammed his palm into the chest of an opponent who had overextended in his thrust the blew sent him flying through the air he skipped for a moment the air skidding to a stop a small distance away '92'
Raken flattened himself against the ground as a large woodened bench flew over his head, he rolled to the left to avoid and axe coming down on him, and kicked the man's legs out from under him with a second kick to the man's chin he wasn't getting back up as Raken rolled to his feet. '92' he thought with a smile, he looked around briefly spotting a familiar blue-haired dragon slayer, he smiled for a moment before he was forced to dodge another onslaught of attacks 'Meteor!"
He shouted as he hurtled towards his new attackers.
Wendy rotated her body as another set of weapons flew over her head, she fought with something that could only be described as deadly grace, She and Erza had determined her power was not in her physical strength but in her flexibility and speed, and so they had developed a very specific form of healing magic for offensive purposes, her hands glowed a bright blue as she twisted her body, with a quick thrust of her hand she pressed her hand against the man's neck, he magic flowed into him and cut a tendon in his arm rendering his left arm useless it flopped down beside him as she delivered a follow up kick it his chest he fell back heavily. Her offensive magic allowed her to bypass everything her opponents wore, she could slice muscle cut tendons even break bones if she wished, she jumped backward to avoid another set of strikes before striking at near blinding speed, she hit a nerve point on the eight men in front of her and they dropped unconscious almost instantly, she placed her hands on her knees and panted she was not as used to fighting as the others, she had secretly joined Raken and Natsu's little game and had been keeping count, you'd never know it but the bluette had a competitive side of her and she almost never loosed '108.' she thought with a small smirk.
Erza ducked under another blow sent at her by Gajeel, flying forward just under the long metal bar, she embedded her fist into Gajeel's stomach he grunt as his arm returned to normal, in time to block the second blow aimed at his head, he brought his knee up and slammed it into Erza's stomach she coughed a small trickled of blood leaked from the corner of her mouth, she pushed his knee back down and caught the punch that was headed for her head, she gritted her teeth as she superheated the palm of her hand, slowly but surely melting the metal, Gajeel winced and jumped backward disengaging her "That hurt you little bitch!" He shouted.
The roof seemed to explode before Erza could retort, she looked up at the source of the noise, and to her horror saw a very similar white coat descending at a rapid pace.
"Raken! Catch him!" She screamed at the top of her lungs, Raken looked to Erza then where she was looking at jumped into the air, catching Makarov in his arms before placed his feet firmly on one of the wooden beams and flying back towards the main Group of Fairy Tail. Wendy took noticed and jumped away, She knelt down beside him.
"He's been hit with an old magic called Drain, someone need to gather up his magic energy and quickly, the fastest we can return it the faster he will get back on his feet." Wendy commanded instantly, going into as what Raken called it 'Medic mode'. He just nodded, he knew the spell and how to collect the energy. Natsu looked from Wendy to Raken to he pointed at Grey "You make sure no one touches Wendy while she does her job." Natsu commanded flatly. "The second Makarov is stable fall back, I have a bad feeling none of the element four have shown up yet that manes they are either not here or this is meant to distract us."
Grey just nodded "What are you gonna do?"
Natsu let a wicked smile envelope his features " I am going to make sure you have as little problems as possible in your retreat."
Erza finally made her way over to the group "Guys, they got Lucy I overheard one of them talking about it." She said simply.
Natsu nodded "Alright Erza, go get her. Wendy will heal Makarov and the rest of you will make sure she gets the job done. Raken you know what to do." His brother nodded, Natsu whirled around facing the member of Phantom as Erza took off to the left grabbing a random Phantom member from the group and dragging him kicking and screaming away from the fight.
"We Beat their master! They really are weak! Attack!" The phantoms members screamed as they rushed the now grouped up members of Fairy Tail. Raken Dropped down beside Wendy and the group he placed his hands on Makarov forehead and began to channel the old mans magic energy back into him, Wendy kept her eyes firmly fixed on the backs of her hands as she worked to repair and broken bones her may have sustained.
Natsu rolled his neck and cracked his knuckles, before turning his head slightly to look at Raken and Wendy "Hey guy's you know this means you owe me 5000 Jules." He said with a wide grin. The pair couldn't help but chuckle, the smiles vanished quickly as they forced their minds to concentrate on the more important task. Gray stepped up beside Natsu, in his standard position.
"So what's the plan?" Grey asked
Natsu turned back to him, before taking a few steps forward with a flourish he drew a long line in the ground with one of his swords before it disappeared "Don't let them cross this line!" Natsu shouted angrily!
"You heard him boys!" Grey shouted as the member of Fairy tail looked at them a little surprised, their morale was still low.
Natsu turned around and raised his hand, his index finger and thumb out to the side "We Are Number one remember! What would Makarov say if he saw the fear in your eyes right now?! He would be near attacking you pansies for your hesitation! We have to hold this line! To make sure we all get home safe! Are you just gonna stand there!?" Natsu demanded
Fairy tail looked up at the symbol, Grey raised his hand in a similar fashion and Phantom faltered slightly in their rush, as Fairy tail formed up along the line, one by one raising their hand to the sky "Let's show em what happens when you mess with the strongest guild on the planet!" Natsu roared!
