Hey everyone. Really sorry for the hella long wait, and to be honest, I don't really have an excuse XD.
Been playin a lot of games recently, so I guess I just got lazy and didn't really sit down and write for a bit.
I've decided to make Gajeel a lot stronger in this story than he is in the main canon. Reasons for this is A: Gajeel is one of my favourite characters, and B: Gajeel seems like he's at least 2-4 years older than Natsu in the anime. Despite this, Natsu still fights on par with him in the Phantom Lord arc. I didn't really like that all too much, so I decided to change it up a bit in my story.
Anyways, once again I'm sorry, but please enjoy!
Over the night, most members of the Fairy Tail guild had a wonderful time. Aki and Gray wasted no time getting to training as soon as they arrived at Aki's house, and for dinner they had to go fishing, much to Happy's delight. Kakashi and Erza had a much more relaxing time, instead choosing to spend the night discussing some rather 'interesting' books, and overall just getting to know one another better.
Natsu and Mavis on the other hand... well, their night could only be described as 'unique'. As soon as Natsu invited Mavis to come explore the house with him, she bolted right through the front door faster than he could blink. She spent the entire night dragging him around, exploring the house with a child-like wonder. She pointed out exactly where she wanted all their furniture and decorations to go, which Natsu calculated mentally to add up to over half a million jewels in cost.
The pair of levitating mages only ended up going to sleep because Natsu reminded Mavis of their situation. Reluctantly, she agreed to rest for the night, if only for Natsu's sake of regaining his chakra.
The next day, Natsu felt considerably better. As soon as he woke up, he immediately felt that at least fifty percent of his chakra had regenerated. He honestly didn't expect to regain this much of his chakra over a single night, especially after having it take several days just to begin regenerating. He put it down to having less reserves than he did previously because of the loss of Asura's chakra.
Getting out of his queen-sized bed, he yawned loudly, raising a hand to his mouth. He stood up woozily and unsealed all his clothes, including the headband. He slid the strip of cloth over his left eye and shook his head to wake himself up fully.
He glanced over to Mavis' bed, and noticed she was still sleeping. All he could see was the back of her golden hair, but the slow, rhythmic breathing was enough to tell. He walked over to her bedside to wake her up, but when he was reaching over to tap her shoulder, her eyes suddenly shot open, startling him greatly.
He fell over backwards with a shout of "What the-!?" and hit the floor with a thud. He tenderly rubbed the spot where his head hit the floor and looked up only to see Mavis peering down at him, giggling and waving.
He sighed and stood back up. He decided to ignore the small mishap and told Mavis to get ready to go to the guild.
WITH MAVIS AND NATSU, MAGNOLIA CITY
As Mavis and Natsu walked through Magnolia city on their way to the guild hall, once again, they noticed the looks of pity and whispers from the citizens of the normally delightful town.
Mavis glanced around at them cautiously. It's very strange that they're still acting this way. Everyone at the guild already knows, so there's no reason for this weird behavior anymore. Did something else happen? She wondered.
She then floated up a bit and leaned into Natsu. "Why do you think they're still acting like this?" She voiced her thoughts with a whisper.
Natsu, who was also levitating, looked around at the surrounding townsfolk wearily. He leaned back over to her and whispered back. "I don't know. Something else must have happened." Natsu rationalized. Mavis nodded in agreement and turned back to the road in front of them.
A couple minutes of floating later, they saw ahead of them a large group of people gathered around a tall oak tree. The pair moved forwards and tried to peer through the dense crowd, but it proved to be futile, so they simply flew above the group to get a better look.
When the tree finally became visible, they saw Levy, Jet, and Droy completely beaten up and hung on the tree by their wrists. They were all unconscious, and on Levy's bare stomach there was a Phantom Lord guild insignia painted in black.
Natsu surveyed the horrifying scene with narrowed eyes. Phantom Lord is trying really hard to start a war with Fairy Tail... but for what purpose? There's no way it's just to prove that Phantom is better than Fairy Tail... actually, scratch that. Jose is their master, it could very well be for that reason.
Mavis gasped and went wide eyed as she surveyed the display. While she was deeply angry with Phantom Lord for doing this to her friends, she couldn't help but be worried. It's very clear that Phantom Lord is trying to spark a war between the two guilds, and normally Makarov would be aware of this and not take the bait, but she didn't think he would be able to just ignore this.
Natsu looked down at the crowd and noticed that all of Team Seven were already there. Aki and Gray looked like they were just about ready to explode, while Erza looked plenty angry, but she was far less... volatile. Kakashi on the other hand showed no outward signs of being mad, but Natsu knew that he was indeed angry.
He looked further and noticed Makarov shaking in anger, his coat was fluttering behind him due to the unintentional magical power he was letting off with his anger. The veins in his forehead were visible through his skin, and the wooden staff he was holding cracked and splintered into pieces.
He suddenly started speaking. "I can stand our guild hall being torn down... BUT HURT MY CHILDREN, AND WE GO TO WAR!"
Kakashi looked straight up at where Natsu was floating beside Mavis. He made sure Natsu was looking at him before tapping his right eye. Natsu understood the signal and nodded in confirmation. Kakashi then whispered something to Erza before disappearing in a swirl. Natsu followed suit and leaned over to Mavis, whispering "I'll be right back.", before also disappearing in swirl.
THE KAMUI DIMENSION
Natsu appeared in the endless void of the Kamui dimension on a bright blue hexagonal pillar. He stood beside Kakashi, and a few feet away was a make-shift bed and a basin of water. He turned to Kakashi only to see him eyeing the bed setup strangely.
"So this is where you recovered your energy?" He questioned with a raised eyebrow.
Natsu nodded. "Yeah. Wasn't too bad actually, thought it was a little on the cold side, so I brought along a blanket." Natsu replied half-joking.
Kakashi just shrugged. "Well if it works, it works I suppose." He rationalized. "Anyways," he continued. "Makarov is quite clearly walking right into a trap here."
Natsu nodded once again. "Yeah... and I don't think there's any way we can convince him to change the plan." Natsu added.
"I agree," Kakashi responded. "So I think we should split up." He proposed.
Natsu raised an eyebrow and folded his arms. "Oh?" He questioned.
"You and Mavis should stay in Magnolia in case whoever wrecked our guild hall comes back for more. Erza and I will go with the main group and make sure nothing bad happens." Kakashi explained.
"I agree with your plan apart from one thing." Natsu responded. "I think Phantom Lord might've taken Lucy for some reason. After all, she was with Team Shadow Gear last night, and yet she isn't strung up to that tree right now."
Kakashi blinked in surprise at having missed that seemingly obvious fact. "You're right. I'll look for her when I go with Makarov on the assault."
Natsu shook his head. "No. I don't think you'll find her there. From what I've heard, Phantom Lord has several branches of their guild, many of them closer to us than the main hall, so I don't think Makarov will be taking you to the headquarters, where Lucy most likely is."
Kakashi slowly nodded, rubbing his chin in thought. "I suppose so... Very well. You're going to need to figure something out on your own this time, I don't see what I can do while I'm helping Makarov and the others fight Phantom Lord."
Natsu nodded affirmatively. "Alright. Now let's head back, they might leave without you."
OAK TOWN, PHANTOM LORD BRANCH
In the Phantom Lord guild hall, the mood was quite joyous at the moment. The large, circular room made of stone was lit up by several candles, giving the place an ominous lighting effect. The members of Phantom Lord were all seated around their long tables, drinking and cheering in celebration.
Three Phantom Lord wizards walked down the small aisle going through their organized tables on their way to the request board. The trio loitered around the cork board panel for a few moments before grabbing a piece of paper and ripping it off the board, taking it along with them as they walked back towards the front door.
"Let's go do some work!" Cheered one of the three.
Another one smirked. "Yeah, and on our way back we can pluck some Fairy Wings like Gajeel!"
But their plans were cut short. As they got to the front doors, grinning in anticipation, they didn't expect the doors to explode backwards in a plume of fire and smoke, carrying the poor trio of Phantom mages along with them. They hit the wall of the second floor loft with a loud crash followed by a cloud of dust surrounding the landing site.
The stunned mages of Phantom Lord stared at the now open doorway only to see guild of Fairy Tail, fronted by Aki and Gray who had punched the doors out. The entire party looked angry and ready for a fight. Everything was silent for a few moments before Makarov suddenly yelled.
"FAIRY TAIL HAS COME KNOCKING!"
With a resounding war cry the entire guild of Fairy Tail charged at the now grouped up Phantom Lord mages. The two groups collided with the sounds of explosions and clashing steel filling the air around them. Even though Phantom Lord heavily outnumbered Fairy Tail, it was made clear through the fight that quality beats quantity.
Every Fairy Tail mage was taking on at least five Phantom wizards at the same time, and the more well known members such as Loke, Cana, Macao, and Wakaba were teaming up to take on larger groups of the enemy.
Aki and Gray went on the rampage through the now disorganized crowd of Phantom Lord mages, sending them flying every which way with their dragon slayer attacks of fire and ice. Bisca and Alzack were doing particularly well, their superb gun magic was capable of hitting multiple targets easily, so this was the perfect situation for them per say.
The others were doing just as well as Aki and Gray. Cana was drawing cards out of her little purse like crazy, shouting off card combos at a rapid pace. Macao and Wakaba had some nasty combos of their own, such as the classic 'crowd control then knockout'. Loke was using his various rings magics to dispatch the enemy en masse, all while keeping his calm and cool appearance.
Elfman was simply hitting the puny Phantom mages with his monstrous strength and beast arm. His shouts of 'being a man' was fairly confusing for his opponents, but he swatted them down like flies none the less. His arm however drew a few cries of recognition from the opposing forces.
"What the hell happened to his arm?!" Exclaimed one.
"It's take over magic..." Another explained.
"WAIT! I've heard of him! It's Elfman!" A third one yelled in horror.
"He kills monsters and absorbs their power! They call him beast arm Elfman!" Shouted another.
Meanwhile, Erza was currently in her heaven's wheel armour cutting down any enemy stupid enough to come near her. Ten swords circled around her, floating telekinetically and slashing at Phantom Lord wizards. But it seemed like she was looking for something... or rather, someone.
"Where is Black Steel Gajeel and the Element Four?!" She shouted at the surrounding Phantom mages.
But they were interrupted by a low rumbling sound. They all turned to the source of the sound only to see Fairy Tail's master with his eyes closed. Suddenly, he began to rapidly grow, eventually almost touching the wooden rafters above them. He slammed the ground beneath him with a mighty fist, sending all the mages surrounding him flying.
He then immediately reverted back into his normal size and headed straight for the stairs. He fended off various Phantom Lord wizards with one hands, not even bothering to look at them. When he had almost reached the top of the stairs, he turned his head and shouted something.
"Erza! I'll leave the common rabble to you!" He called out before disappearing from sight.
Erza raised a hand to her mouth. "Yes sir!" She yelled back.
She was about to turn back to the fight, but she became distracted watching Kakashi fighting. To put it simply... it was mesmerizing. He cut through the mages of Phantom Lord like a hot knife through butter. He never seemed to use one form of martial art for more than a few seconds. One second he would be using various kicks, and the next he would almost completely rely on his fists.
She now perfectly understood why he liked requip so much. It fit his fighting style almost perfectly. Being able to switch equipment at a moments notice went hand in hand with his seemingly random way of fighting. Every time he switched his style he would requip new weapons, such as kunai, staves, or even swords. At one point she even saw him use a pair of brass knuckles and ankle weights.
On top of his hand-to-hand combat, he weaved in jutsu and magic perfectly to cover any weak spots he might have. And true to his arbitrary style, he used all different types of magic/jutsu in quick succession. She saw him breath fire, summon walls of earth, and exhale massive gusts of wind all in a span of ten seconds.
But watching Kakashi could come later. For now, there were Phantom wizards to fight, and not a moment to waste. Shaking her head to regain focus, she lept back into the fray brandishing a pair of short swords and her regular armor.
Up on the rafters above however, a certain dragon slayer was waiting for just the right moment to join the action, and seeing as how Makarov had just left to go confront Jose, he decided that there was no time like the present. With his classic laugh of "Gihihihi" he jumped down from the raftors, landing on the upper loft in a huge plume of dust and debris.
All that was visible of him was a silhouette and an ominous pair of glowing red eyes. The surrounding battle stopped in bated suspense, waiting to finally see the newcomer, although most already knew who it was.
Erza narrowed her eyes at the silhouette. "The iron dragon slayer of Phantom Lord..." She said in a whisper like voice. "Black Steel Gajeel..."
Nab jumped up at the newly revealed Gajeel in fury. "You attacked Levy and her team!" He shouted in rage.
But as soon as he was within a few meters of him, Gajeel simply held his arm out and promptly it turned into a cylinder of iron and extended, slamming Nab into the ground and pushing him into the back wall. The attack even hit a few Phantom Lord mages, much to Fairy Tail's shock.
Gray watched the scene with surprise. "What the... he just knocked out his own guys with that attack!" He shouted.
Gajeel jumped down from his spot on the upper loft and pointed at the group of Fairy Tail mages. "Come and face me, unless you're too scared of the iron dragon slayer!" He called out.
Elfman took this statement as a challenge and jumped forward with an arm cocked back. "Too scared?! REAL MEN HAVE NO FEAR!" He screamed as he punched at Gajeel with his arm now in take-over form.
Gajeel smirked and simply raised his arm, turning it to iron at the same time. Elfman's fist slammed into Gajeel's arm with no effect. Gajeel just stood there looking as if he was expending no effort in fending off Elfman's attack, even though Elfman was visibly pushing against Gajeel's defense.
"Hmm..." Gajeel said. "Elfman, right?... not bad, but still no match for me!" Gajeel exclaimed, and pushed Elfman's arm to the side, leaving him wide open and off balance, which Gajeel took full advantage of with a brutal iron kick.
Elfman was knocked back into the air, only for Aki to actually jump off of him and shoot forwards at a surprised Gajeel. She coated her fist in her classic red flames and unleashed a mighty punch at Gajeel, who was too shocked to do anything about it and was sent flying backwards into the wall of the upper loft.
The Phantom Lord wizards were too shocked at the scene to retaliate at all. To them, beating Gajeel just seemed like it was completely impossible for anyone, save Jose. So to see a Fairy Tail mage just send Gajeel flying back was a huge illusion breaker for them.
"No way! that chick sent Gajeel flying!"
"Im seein' it, but I don't believe it..."
Elfman glared at Aki, who was waiting for Gajeel to get back up. "Aki! Not only do you interrupt our man on man battle, but you use me as a stepping stool!" He shouted in annoyance.
Aki didn't turn around, or even respond, which angered Elfman quite a bit. He was about to start yelling again, but Gray stopped him. "Elfman, this is a fight between two dragon slayers, just let her do this."
Elfman grumbled and turned away. "Fine." He said.
Just then a hand burst out of the pile of rubble that had formed under where Gajeel had crashed into the back wall. Gajeel climbed out of the rubble and resumed his cocky grin and posture. "Hmm... the Salamander of Fairy Tail, eh?"
He raised his fist, turning it into an iron pillar and shooting it forward at Aki at high speeds. Aki's eyes widened at the speed of his attack, but she had no time to dodge or counter it. The attack hit her directly in the stomach and knocked her backwards, leaving her clutching her stomach in pain.
Gray immedietly rushed over to the down Aki and kneeled beside her. He put a hand on her shoulder and leaned in to see her face. "Are you ok Aki?" He asked with concern.
Aki looked up at him and grimaced. "Yeah I'm fine... but this guy is on another level, we're gonna have to team up to take him down." She said, shakily getting up on her feet. Gray stood up with her and faced Gajeel, who was watched them with narrowed eyes. Gray and Aki stared back at him, as if they were in a dragon slayer staring contest.
After a few seconds, Gajeel suddenly gained a smirk and took in a huge breath, leaning back and bringing his hands in front of his mouth. Aki's eyes widened as she recognized the attack the iron dragon slayer was about to use, so she immedietly turned to Gray.
"Gray! Unison roar, NOW!" She called out to him, gaining a nod in response. The two dragon slayers of Fairy Tail both took a deep breath and also brought their hands in front of their mouths. To the outside observers, the magical power the three dragon slayers were emitting was insane. Most stared in fear, although some in envy, admiration, or respect. It seemed as if behind each of the three dragon slayers there was a mighty dragon looming, one gray, one red, and one blue.
Gajeel leaned forward, exhaling a mighty breath of silver wind laced with shrapnel. IRON DRAGON'S ROAR! he shouted as the attack left his mouth.
Aki and Gray followed suit, also calling out their attack. FIRE AND ICE DRAGON'S UNISON ROAR! they both called out.
Gray and Aki's attacks joined together midway and met with Gajeel's roar in between the three dragon slayers, crashing into it like a wave. The two attacks pushed against each other for what seemed like hours for the pair, but in reality it was only a few seconds. Eventually the two colliding forces just fizzled out and died, leaving the three combatants panting and the rest of the room staring at their fight in awe.
Gajeel wearily stretched his back and rolled his shoulders. "That's some decent power you've got there..." he said. Then he jumped forwards, pulling an arm back and turning it to iron. Gray and Aki's eyes widened as they say the iron dragon slayer approach at speeds they were clearly unaccustomed to. He first turned to Aki, shooting his iron club arm at her in a brutal punch. Aki barely had time to raise her arms in some sort of flimsy defense, and yet that still didn't help all that much. She shot back through the air at least ten feet, landing square on her back.
"FOR A PIECE OF FAIRY TRASH THAT IS!"
Not wasting a second, Gajeel twisted at what seemed like an impossible angle, turning one hundred and eighty degrees mid air to roundhouse kick Gray. Unfortunately for Gray, he didn't have time for any sort of defense. The kick connected right on his face, knocking him back into the wall. He slammed into the stone bricks with a dull thud and slid down the wall unconscious, leaving a fairly sizable indent on the wall where he landed.
Gajeel surveyed his handiwork with satisfaction. Gray was completely out of commission and Aki was injured on the ground. He grinned, but on the inside he was sighing in exasperation. And here I was thinking that some other dragon slayers could give me a real fight... but I suppose I was wrong. he thought. Well, might as well take care of the rest of the trash!
Gajeel leaned back and took another deep breath, once again bringing his hands in front of his face to prepare yet another roar much to the horror of Erza, who had watched the whole fight from not too far away.
She knew for certain that she could take on either Aki or Gray pretty readily one on one. Both at the same time though, and she suddenly wasn't so certain. So to see someone simultaneously knock them both out, one versus two, was fairly unnerving, even for someone like her.
For the rest of the guild, these thoughts were put on overdrive. Since most of them couldn't even hold a candle to Aki or Gray, let alone both at the same time, seeing the two of the them being taken out at the same time, by one person no less, was a serious morale killer.
Then the roar came, barreling out of Gajeel's open mouth like a tornado of death. The attack was headed straight for Erza and her group of Macao, Wakaba, and Cana. The four of them watched the attack come towards them in shock, but Erza quickly took action. She took up a ready stance in front of the other three. REQUIP: THE KNIGHT! she shouted.
A bright glow covered Erza's form briefly before dimming down to reveal her now in a massive suit of armour with two shields, one in each hand. She dug her toes into the ground, desperately trying to gain a foothold. Bringing the two shields together, she formed a magical circle and braced herself for impact.
But the blow would never come. Before the attack could reach them, a beam of pure shadows crashed into the incoming roar, stopping it outright and cancelling both of the powerful moves. Erza hesitantly peered around the edge of her shield, only to see Kakashi standing in front of them with both his fists raised in a combat stance.
Sighing with relief, she requipped back into her heart kreuz armour and relaxed a bit. She honestly couldn't be sure that her armour would have even stopped that attack, so she was grateful to Kakashi for stepping in when he did.
Gajeel cocked an eyebrow at the new appearance. He folded his arms and tilted his head to the side. "What's this? Someone who actually managed to stop my roar!" He said, narrowing his eyes at Kakashi. "WELL MAYBE YOU CAN GIVE ME A DECENT FIGHT! IRON DRAGON'S CLUB!" Gajeel yelled transforming his right arm into a pillar of iron and extending it at Kakashi.
Kakashi held out his left palm towards the incoming attack. Suddenly, the hand became enveloped in a sea of shadows, looking almost like a mixture of smoke and black fire. Shadow Dragon's Devouring Fist! Kakashi said, catching the iron club and holding still.
Gajeel's eyes widened in surprise. "Wha- another dragon slayer?!" He exclaimed, drawing a few gasps from the Phantom Lord Crowd.
Kakashi took advantage of Gajeel's momentary lapse of focus and pulled him in with his left hand, drawing his right arm back for a big hit. His right hand became coated in a bright white light, giving it a stark contrast to the pitch black of his left hand. When he pulled Gajeel within range, he let go with his left hand and punched forwards with his right, hitting Gajeel square in the jaw. LIGHT DRAGON'S ILLUMINATING FIST! He shouted.
For the second time that day, Gajeel was hit backwards into a wall, cracking the stone bricks it was made of. Kakashi kept both his fists lit up by their respective elements, giving him somewhat of a ying-yang appearance. Gajeel coughed a few times as he got up, dusting himself off. He turned to Kakashi and shot him an insane grin. "A dragon slayer with two elements... THIS IS CERTAINLY GONNA BE INTERESTING, GIHIHIHI!" He exclaimed, running at Kakashi with both fists transformed into iron pillars.
But before the two could engage in combat, a pained scream was heard from far above, followed by the repeated cracking and splintering of the raftors, and finally a huge thump and a dust plume in the center of the room, where it seemed like a meteorite had just landed.
All the fighting immediately ceased. Every single person in the room froze and turned to the large dust cloud in the center of the room and waited to see what would emerge. Small mutters could be heard from the various people as they waited.
"Wha-?"
"Something fell..."
"What could it be?"
But before the grand reveal could happen, a loud voice coupled with obnoxious crying was heard from the raftors above. The voice sounded extremely overdramatic and drawn out, and the sobbing was even more so.
"The sadness! Where does it come from?! It's completely overflowing!" the voice said from it's position above.
Then the dust cloud finally dissipated, revealing Master Makarov laying on his back, completely stunned and strangely enough, his skin was green. He couldn't even move, all he could do was stare at the ceiling above and wonder just how the strange crying man had even snuck up on him. My... My magic p-power... he realized. It's all been drained!
"MASTER!"/"GRAMPS!/OLD MAN!" Cried Erza, Aki, and Gray respectively.
But the voice from above kept talking. "Sorrowful... is it because the world has just lost a great mage?" The voice said, still accompanied by that annoying sobbing.
Erza held the downed form of Makarov in her arms as they all circled around. "Master! Hang in there!" Erza encouraged.
Gray stared. "What the hell? I can't sense any magic coming from him at all!" He pointed out.
Elfman recoiled in fear. "Wait, so he's just a regular old man now?!" He asked.
Happy's tail fell to the floor in sadness and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes. "Whyyyyyyyy?!" He wailed.
Aki sat on her knees and stared at him. "Gramps! Get a hold of yourself!"
Gajeel watched the scene with disappointment. He stood up straight from his ready stance and returned his arms to normal. "Man... just when things were getting interesting." He complained to himself.
Kakashi watched the group of Fairy Tail mages crowded around their master with a grim expression. I knew this was a bait... damnit, I should've known their goal was to take out the master, why didn't I do anything about it?! Kakashi thought furiously.
He turned his gaze over to the exhausted mages of Phantom Lord, who were seeming to get their morale and energy back extremely quickly at the news of their enemies' master being taken down.
"Their master's been beaten!"
"Really?!"
"Guys! We can do this!"
"Yeah, their strength has been halved with their master down!"
"And we have Gajeel and the Element Four here!"
The enemy group charged forwards with their weapons drawn, letting out an energistic war cry. "LET'S CRUSH EM!"
Erza watched the scene around her with gritted teeth and a grim expression. The Phantom Lord mages had gotten their spirit back, and were now fighting the worn out Fairy Tail mages on more even ground. The battle was slowly but surely turning in their favor. She continued surveying the room until her eyes landed on Kakashi, who was still fighting in the middle of a group of Phantom wizards. They had formed a circle around him, slowly inching closer. The few who rushed out of the circle to fight him directly were swiftly taken care of by either a fist of shadows or light.
But from up close, he couldn't see what Erza could, and that happened to be three Phantom mages charging up some sort of triple element combo attack, and it was aimed right for him. She tried to warn him, shouting as loud as she could over the overpowering racket of the ongoing battle. But it was to no avail. He couldn't hear her warning and had no idea of the attack that was coming.
The Phantom Mages parted part of their circle at the last possible moment, allowing the beam to run through and hit Kakashi directly on his back, causing a huge explosion of fire, wind, and lightning.
Erza gasped and ran towards him, praying that he wasn't completely knocked out by the attack that had hit him. As it turns out, her prayer was far more than answered. When the fire finally receded, it wasn't even Kakashi that was there. No, what was there was a giant blue skeletal construct, complete with the grinning skull, two arms, and rib cage. Erza stared at the giant in awe. I completely forgot he could do that! She thought to herself.
The poor little mages of Phantom Lord stared the turquoise monstrosity in pure terror. Some even fell over on their backs in fear and dropped their weapons in the process. On the other hand, the mages of Fairy Tail seemed to gain a second wind at the sight of such a being fighting on their side. They all cheered in delight while the Phantom mages whispered in fear.
"It's Kakashi!" Yelled a member of Fairy Tail.
"Remember?! That's the thing he used to defeat Gildarts!" Added on another member of the guild.
"W-w-what the hell is THAT?!" Exclaimed a Phantom Lord wizard.
"M-monster..." Muttered a terrified mage of Phantom Lord.
But everyone's words and thoughts were cut off by Kakashi's voice booming throughout the room.
"Tell me..." He slowly began.
"Have any of you ever fought the God Of Valor?!"
