Chapter 43: You Were Warned
A/N: I AM SO SORRY! I AM A BAD AUTHOR! I said that almost everyday I would update and the next day I don't update… Sorry! I wasn't feeling too well and didn't want to try and write as I would not have been able to focus properly and write this well. So here we are! Shout out to sashaXmafuyuFOREVER for yet another review and yes your OC is awesome. And thank you to brucie86 for the review, and for bringing up an excellent point that I wish to tell you guys. Any pairings in the story will be based on relationships that are made more or less inevitable in the manga itself, not by us normal people. I AM NOT ON CRACK SO THERE WILL BE NO CRACK PAIRINGS! If a character has no obvious person to pair with, they will get an OC, sorry to those of you who like crack pairings but I so not enjoy them, as they make no sense to my empirical mind. I only believe in what I see more or less and I find crack pairings unbelievable, so yeah that's that. Sorry for jumping on my soapbox but I needed that to be said to everyone. SO, Enjoy Chapter Forty Three!

Next Day (Natsu POV)
I woke up and stretched, Lucy next to me doing the same as we both heard the blaring noise of the alarm clock. "Why did we set an alarm? It's way too early." I said and sat up, rubbing my eyes and trying to rub the sleepiness out of me.
"The newspaper, we want to see what the reaction was to your little escapade into Era. Hopefully they listened or they will have hell to pay, right?" Lucy asked and looked at me, wondering if I had a backup plan.
"Yes, they were warned. They should have listened though, I made the chairman a mute." I said and Lucy looked surprised, "What, don't approve?"
"No, the opposite. That was some restraint you showed. Usually he would be dead for being insolent, but hey you can't just kill all your problems right?" She said and I had to agree, but there are some cases where that is that is the case.
"Let's get going so we can sleep some more, ok?" I said and extended my hand for her to take, which she did and we walked out of the room and made our way outside and into the center of town.
We walked in a comfortable silence with our arms entwined together, linking us together so we could walk at the same pace. We arrived at the town square and saw the young paper boy getting set up to sell his papers, so before he started yelling his usual thing, we walked up to him and bought a newspaper. "Thanks to ya, sir, ma'am." The boy said and we smiled at him, before walking away.
"Well, what does it say?" Lucy asked and we stopped and opened it.
Natsu Dragneel, Menace to Society! He has done it again, the former guild mage of the famous guild Fairy Tail, and now leader of the rogue dark mage group 'Ronin' has done it again. He snuck into the council meeting at Era and attacked the chairman of the council, gravey injuring him. Dragneel claims to believe himself capable of killing the infamous Black Mage, Zeref, and has told the council to allow him to handle it. The council isn't buying it, one council member says, "If he thinks he can kill Zeref with his power, then he really is psychotic. He isn't strong enough to do it, the only reason he got the chairman was because he surprised him. Not because he was stronger." Dragneel whereabouts are unknown but the council is unconcerned, saying he is simply a mad man who has gone rogue and killed more guild members than he has bad guys. He is a bad guy, and should be treated as such, if you have any information on his whereabouts please contact…
I never finished reading as I just burned it up, as my whole body was on fire, my rage being quite obvious to anyone with a working pair of eyes. "Those idiots…" Lucy said and I had to agree.
"Let's go, I have some shit to do now." Even I could feel my aura growing darker, murderous, "They were warned to leave me be but yet they mock me instead. I should never have believed they would listen. It's time to show them what happens when they don't listen." I said and we walked back in silence, me still on fire and Lucy not even wanting to try and calm me down.
We arrived at the mansion and Kurayami was waiting for us, and after seeing me he ran back inside and went to wake everyone up so we could have an emergency meeting. I walked inside and went straight to the meeting room my aura not once lightening, my anger and rage was too great, I didn't even call the emergency meeting I just knew that everyone would come. I opened the door to meeting room and finally realized I had lit myself on fire, I immediately put out my fire body so I can sit down and not destroy the nice seats. But my eyes said everything, like they were on fire, burning with my rage.
Everyone else who wasn't Lucy quickly piled into the room and sat down quickly, a bit uncomfortably as they saw me and worried I would lash out at anyone who annoyed me. I was breathing heavily, almost shaking from the anger, I had truly thought that the council would have heeded my warning and accepted my terms. But, they didn't.
"We are going to Plan X. The target is mine, and mine alone. Everyone else is to wait for me. I will be back in a couple of days. Lucy, you run the mission from here by using Mern's telepathy. I'm leaving now so hurry up and get set up. NOW!" I yelled the last part and woke everyone up from their shock. They all got moving and Mern walked up and set up the telepathy link, connecting Lucy, Igneel, and I together mentally. "Luce, are you ready? Igneel, can you hear me?" I asked mentally and got a nod from Lucy.
"Yes, I can. I could feel you from a mile away, what happened?" Igneel replied and I walked out of the room, nodding but also not responding. "… I see. I guess I'll hear about it eventually. I'm outside waiting for you." I walked out and saw Igneel waiting and looked at him, and he knew from the mental image I sent his way where I was going already. I got on his back and he took off, heading to our target and where the world will learn the hard way just how strong I am.
A Few Hours Later
We arrived at our destination and I jump off, while we were still high in the air and lit myself on fire. I turned into a torpedo and charged towards the ground, landing with a great crash. The ground where I landed was nothing but a crater so large it caused buildings around it to fall down into the hole. I jumped out of the hole and walked towards the building that I was looking for, totally unscathed and completely on fire, melting the road I walked on into a molten mess. I looked up and saw the people I came here to crush run at me and I grabbed them by the throats, smashing their heads together so hard they were bleeding and their throats were burned so badly, it was black already. I continue going as they weren't the only ones I was looking for, and I arrived at the building I was looking for. I blew the door open and walked in, and quickly got to work. "Fire Dragon's Machine Gun!" I yelled and shot fire that started hitting mages and sent them flying every which way. A mage jumped in front of me but stood no chance as I kneed him in the gut and the kicked him in the face so hard his neck broke slightly and he was sent flying, I could tell his neck broke since I heard the bones snap. I keep moving, mowing down mages left and right, breaking so many of their bones and tearing so of their many tendons and muscles, I wouldn't be surprised if the guild is forced to shut down.
Then four of their strongest mages come fourth and attack me all at once, but it was to no avail. I simply jumped up and twisted my body, grabbing one of their heads I threw him in the path of another mage and he was hit by friendly fire, being taken down by the others attack. Meanwhile I had used my foot to launch some more magic at another one and sent him flying into the wall and I could hear some of his vertebrae crack and break. Then I land in front of another one and grab him by the collar of his shirt and lift him up, even though he is twice my weight. I sense the last one trying to sneak up on me and throw the fat one into him and yell, "Fire Dragon's Roar!" and send those two into next week.
I turn to find more mages, the last ones who are all strong S-class mages, led by one who is famous in all of Fiore. There were five in all, each very strong including their ace, but I didn't even stop walking. I grabbed one by the collar of his shirt, moving so fast he doesn't even see me and I throw him up and jump after him, using my flames to augment my strength I punch him square in the jaw, breaking his jaw and sending him crashing into the floor. Then I land next to another one who grabs me and third one tries to hit me, at least he tried to but I put my feet firmly on the ground and used all my strength to throw the guy grabbing me over my shoulders and into the attacker. Then as they both collide and unleash a, "Fire Dragon's Roar!" and knock them both out. Then I turn and run up to another mage and punch him in the gut three times in a row, then follow that up with a stomp to his knee shattering the kneecap, and finish him by grabbing his head and kneeing it, throwing his head into it to add even more force which causes his neck to break slightly. I then turn and charge at the guild ace and slide underneath him and pop up behind him but see he hasn't moved at all. I look at him poke him and he falls right over, knocked unconscious by the fear I had instilled in him.
"Tch, Wild my ass. Quatro Puppy really earned their nickname today. Not even the older mages were any good. What a waste of magic. Oh well. Goldmine! Come out here!" I yell and see the old Fairy Tail mage come out and look at the massacre. I hadn't even been scratched and yet his entire guild was in shambles, he looked mad and sad at the same time. "There you are I have a message for you, leave the coalition and tell the council that they were warned before, and this is the result for insolence. Night, night." I said as I quickly got up close and personal and unleashed my magic energy, suffocating him before he finally went unconscious.
I walked over his now unconscious body and jumped up, using my fire to help me stay afloat as I put my right hand out. Fire spewed from my hand and burned everything in sight, the scorch marks in the shape of a broken samurai helmet. It was in the symbol of the Ronin and now everyone would know our power. I blew the roof off the place and used my fire to boost me up to where Igneel was waiting. "How long was that?" I asked.
"Twenty minutes or so." He replied coolly but with a sense of pride to his voice.
"Tch, that took longer than I had anticipated, sorry dad. Played around too much." I said as he deadpanned at my apology.
"You do realize that you just took out an entire guild of over one hundred mages along with five S-class mages and their guild ace, AND their master without so much as getting scratched, right?" Igneel asked and I looked at his eyes.
"Yeah, but they were weak, even Gōsuto could do this, Bacchus Groh does not deserve the title of guild ace anywhere, Erza could beat him. And she couldn't even make Gōsuto sweat with Jellal helping her. And Goldmine is old now, he wasn't even close to his former strength, this was absolutely pathetic." I said and crossed my arms, not happy with how long I took. I sighed and said, "Come on let's go home. We have sleep to catch up on and you go too fast to sleep." And with that, not another word was said and we were gone, leaving the remains of a once proud guild there to serve as a reminder of what happens to those who underestimate the Ronin.
The Next Day- Day of Funerals (Laxus POV)
I look at the messenger and cannot believe my ears. "HE DID WHAT?!" I yell as I'm sure I heard him wrong, I must have.
"Yes. Natsu Dragneel successfully defeated the entirety of Quatro Cerberus by himself. And in twenty minutes no less. As such they will not be able to attend and have pulled their support from the coalition as many of their stronger mages' careers are now over due to the injuries. No one was killed but several were gravely wounded, and have burns, broken bones, dislocated bones, and torn muscles and ligaments and tendons. It was a complete mess there." The messenger said and I looked at the frog like creature, the messenger boys of the council and shook my head.
"My gods, what did the council say about all this?" I asked and the messenger looked down.
"They are calling it a terrorist act and saying that he is now a worldwide criminal and the now second most wanted man behind Zeref. But the coalition will stay a go as planned, there will be no change in those plans." He said and refused to look into my eyes, scared about something.
"AND?" I asked sternly and he finally looked up.
"They are naming Jura Neekis the head of the coalition, not you as you requested. They say that this is getting too personal for you to handle objectively. You will report directly to Jura from now on." He said and I almost broke the chair I was holding onto, the wood of the back of it cracking under the pressure.
"Leave now. If you are a smart frog man you will leave now." I said and he left without so much as a thank you for your time, he ran like a man afraid of something. 'Fuck them. Fuck all of them. I can't believe this shit, even when we're down they refuse to acknowledge us and allow us to do thing sour way. No offense to Jura but I should be leading the team! I have the most information on Natsu and am the strongest one, the only one who could beat him! I warned them about Natsu, said not to take him lightly and what do they do? Prove me right and do just that. Now look what he did, he destroyed an entire guild by himself and kicked every mage's ass. I need to talk to Jura.' "Freed! Go and get Jura for me! I need to talk to him! Bickslow! Go and tell everyone the funerals have been postponed and to read the morning paper to understand why!" I called out to my aides and heard a 'yes sir!' in reply as they ran off to do as I asked. 'You really were fucking warned you council dipshits. Now look at the trouble we're in.'
