I'm going to join a community, and I was grounded...nothing new


Chapter 43:

''Phantom lord did this!?'' Erza and Grey asked angrily Mira nodded ''Yes, everyone has taken refuge in the basement come on we'll explain the situation''. They followed her into the wreckage and down a flight of stairs. Guild members greeted them sullenly though master Makarove acted as if nothing happened. ''Yo!'' he exclaimed in a drunken haze, ''OK where's Natsu? Meh I'll punish him later, but for now...'' the old man raised his hand, he hit Grey and Happy on the head saying ''Bad'' he hit Lucy on her butt.

''Kyaaah!'' Mirajane puffed out her cheeks ''Master, behave''. Erza stomped forward ''Master do you not understand our current situation?'' '''The guild has been destroyed!'' Grey added. Makarove rested his head in his hands, ''No need getting worked up over it, they did it during the night so no one was injured''. Grey smashed his hand on the table, ''We can't except that'' he said. Master hit Lucy's butt again ''Shut up Grey!''. Lucy sighed ''Why is he hitting my butt?'', Makarove got up a walked away saying that he needed to take a leak, the team watched in shocked silence.

Mira looked at them with sad eyes ''Master is as shocked as us but warfare is prohibited by the council'' she said. Erza nodded ''This is the way Master feels we have to except that''

Natsu walked down empty streets glancing left and right in case master sent any mages after him. 'Though I wonder who destroyed the guild' he thought 'Judging by the metal poles it could have been the iron dragon slayer...Meh'. He reached a corner and walked around it only to be suddenly hugged by a random girl. She had long green hair flowing loose, dark brown eyes, pale skin, and was wearing a thin white dress, he noticed that some men in hospital clothes (doctors) where chasing her.

She smiled up at him while he remained confused 'Run away?' he thought, ''Goodbye'' the girl exploded spraying gore all over the ground...and Natsu. The people chasing her froze and stared at the fire mage. Blood covered his entire front and organs clung to his clothes though most were laying in a pile souped in a blood puddle. An eyeball rolled across the sidewalk, he stared down at it as the blood began to dry on his face, his eyes were wide in surprise.

The moment replaied in his mind though everything was different. The sky was red and the city around him was flooded with flames and there was screaming.A young girl with long pink hair ran towards him, tears in her eyes; behind her were men in black robes he grabbed her accidentally touching something on her back and then... Natsu felt the sensation of being shaken and he came back to reality.

One of the doctors was holding his shoulders with trembling hands, a female woman with short curly blond hair and green eyes filled with shock. ''A-all you a-lright'' she stuttered, Natsu took a shuddering breath to regain his composer ''I am fine please excuse me'' his voice was dull and cold void of any satcasm, anger, or sadness ''Please go rest you look shaken'' he said before turning and stumbling away.

It was a while before he reached his cottage in the woods, he was glad that Happy wasn't there and slid down against a wall. The blood had dried against his clothes and face irrigating his skin, he knew that his dark clothes wouldn't appear stained so he didn't hurry to wash them. He got into bed and found it almost impossible to sleep and ounce he did only a nightmare kept him company.

Six people surrounded him, all of different ages. One: his dear sister Haku six years old, two: a boy with short brown hair and brown eyes eight. Three: a girl with long blue hair and green eyes seven, four: a boy with black hair and blue eyes nine. Five: a boy with red hair and cobalt eyes eleven, six: Lissana at fifteen...

They held hands and danced around him in a circle. He himself was young, at age seven. Haiku suddenly burst into a pile of blood and he just noticed his parents in the background, his fathers abdomen suddenly tore open and all his internals spilled out. His mothers head somehow crushed itself. The gap that his sister formed closed and the others continued to spin jumping over her vulgar remains. The brown haired boy's neck suddenly tore grotesquely and he fell lifless to the ground.

They jumped over his body as well, the blue haired girls limbs fell of and when she fell her head simply rolled away. As each child died he felt himself ageing, the black haired boy coffee blood and fell. The boy with red hair was abruptly caught by a noose and hung, the rope disappeared into darkness. He was now fifteen and lissana danced around him laughing, he reached out but she faded away.

Natsu woke in a cold sweat and cringed from the light filtering through his window, he sat staring at the sheets for a moment then got up, dressed, and proceeded to the guild. ''Happy didn't come home'' he said aloud and worry etched into his mind. He was passing the southern park entrance when he saw the crowd. They were staring at a tree where three figures hung.

Guild members stared in anger, Levy, Jet, and Droy were nailed to the tree. Multiple injuries littered their bodies and their clothes in ruin. Levy's shirt was torn open and on her stomach was the Phantom Lord symbol. ''Levy-chan'' Lucy said teary eyed. Master walked through the crowed and onlookers parted way for him, his face was over shadowed. The old man stomped his cane into the ground and looked up, he trembled and covered his face.

''They can destroy our guild'' he said ''But no parent can stand by as their children are harmed'' his cane splintered ''This means war''. Natsu couldn't see Levy, Jet, or Droy. He saw the red haired boy and was furious, he still didn't see Happy and the worst possible explanations entered his mind ''Phantom lord... you've chosen the wrong day to remind me of that''
