Chapter 12: Phantom Lord II: I will Protect you
"Levy, is everything alright?" Lucy asked. The blue haired book reader looked at the unconscious's bodies of Jet and Droy who were bandaged. "It´s fine, but you should ask that to Jet and Droy." Levy said. Lucy looked at them concerned. "I am glad Natsu managed to save them, because who knows if he could beat them all, if one attack could give this much damage." Levy said.
Lucy gripped her skirt hard. "Those Phantom Lord scums are truly nothing but dogs." Lucy said. "Sorry, Jet and Droy. I should have stayed with you two when that Redfox attacked... damn it, why I am so pathetic... I am truly the worst leader ever..." Levy said as she started to cry, but stopped once Lucy grabbed Levy´s hand.
"Lucy..." Levy said. "Don't blame yourself. You did the right thing. You did what a true leader does first. Protecting it´s men, and you protected Jet and Droy." Lucy said. Levy stared at Lucy, who was right. If she didn't flee with Jet and Droy, who knew what could have happened to them if she didn't.
Levy grew a smile.
"Thank you for encouraging me." Levy said. "You're welcome." Lucy said with a smile and then got up. "I am going home. See you tomorrow." Lucy said and left. "Ok. Bye!" Levy said as Lucy left the room.
After walking a bit in the streets of Magnolia, Lucy could only think of the incoming battle with Phantom Lord.
"Soon we are going on to battle with Phantom Lord. Who knows what is going to happen. The Element 4. The Iron Dragon Slayer. But most frightening, Jose Porla, the Wizard Saint. That Porla guy must be some demon alright." Lucy thought while she walked and looked into the sky.
"But what am I worried about? The guild should be fine and Natsu could handle them easy, as he always did." Lucy said as she then blushed a bit when she mentioned Natsu mentally.
"What is wrong with me? Why I am embarrassed when I think of Natsu? Is it something that he did for me in the past?" Lucy thought and then looked at Aquarius´ Key which it was in her key rings on her belt.
"Was it because he gave me Aquarius's Key?" Lucy thought. Aquarius was the second friend Lucy ever had, since Natsu was the first friend Lucy had. Also she didn't have anyone since she was home, and since her father Jude was too busy with his work, she usually summoned her for comfort. Despite the fact that she could be harsh and cranky, she still was Lucy's friend she had since Natsu left years ago, as well even when Lucy and Natsu reunited years later.
"If only Aquarius wasn't so grumpy, as if every time I summon her, it feels like rain is going to fall, like now... wait." Lucy thought as she then looked to see that it started to rain.
"Weird, it was clear as usual, with no clouds in view." Lucy said confused as the rain started to fall more.
"Drip Drip Drop." A voice said, making Lucy turn around.
It was a woman who had blue hair in curled locks, blue eyes, wore a blue dress with white fur, a Russian hat with white fur as well a gem with the Phantom Lord mark on it, and carried a pink umbrella with red hearts.
"Drip Drip Drop, Juvia has found her target." Juvia said. "Who the hell are you?!" Lucy said, but then a man with green hair, a red suit, black tie, light yellow shirt and a cape sewed to his elbows.
"Non, non, non, that is not how a lady should behave, Mademoiselle. But since you asked, I am going to introduce you to us. I am Monsieur Sol, and this is Madame Juvia Lockser, we are from the Element 4 of Phantom Lord." Sol said.
Lucy´s eyes widened in shock. "These guys are from Phantom Lord." Lucy thought and grabbed her Keys, but before she could act, Juvia trapped Lucy in a bubble of water.
"Don't even think about it, Juvia won't let the target escape." Juvia said emotionlessly. Lucy struggled to break free, but it was in vain and was finally lost consciousness.
"Mademoiselle Juvia, please don't kill the Cible, we need her alive, remember?" Sol said. "I understand." Juvia said and then let her Magic bubble disappear, letting the unconscious Lucy, which Juvia picked Lucy up, and left the scene with Sol.
The next day, at Oak Town...
The Fairy Tail members were currently in the city of Oak Town, reading for their attack against Phantom Lord, to avenge their comrades.
"We are going for battle, anyone with me, fight for Fairy Tail." Makarov said, making them cheer.
"Natsu, have you seen Lucy?" Happy asked. "Hm, now that you mention it, I haven't seen her today." Natsu said. "Maybe she is with Levy to check on Jet and Droy, which is manly." Elfman said. "Even though she is a chick?" Cana said, sweatdropping.
"Let's go into battle, and make these Phantom Dogs something that will make them flee with fear!" Erza said, which the Fairy Tail Mages agreed to, but Natsu then stopped once he sniffed on something.
"Natsu, what is it?" Happy asked. "It´s Lucy, she in danger. Happy, fly me where I tell you." Natsu said, with Happy without doubting, grabbed his arms and then flew towards where Natsu said.
"OI, NATSU! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!" Gray shouted as he yelled after the pink haired man.
"Let him go, we can't stop just cause he took off. We need to do the number one thing right now: Fighting Phantom Lord!" Makarov said, which the others agreed as they cheered.
A bit later, at the Phantom Lord Guild...
"Hahaha, did you see the damage Gajeel did to the Fairy Tail Guild?" A Phantom Lord Mage said. "Yeah, it was truly the show the year! Ask Gajeel himself, as he was the one who did it." Another one said, only to be punched by Gajeel´s pole. "Shut it, I am trying to eat here." Gajeel said.
The doors the Phantom Lord Guild suddenly exploded into pieces, which then a mist of smoke came and then disappeared, showing the large group of Fairy Tail mages.
"SHIT! ITS FAIRY TAIL!"
"BRATS, YOU WILL FACE THE WRATH OF ME FOR ATTACKING MY CHILDREN, YOU DOGS!" Makarov said as he got himself larger with his Titan Magic.
The mere sight terrified the Phantom Lord Mages, shitting themselves with fear.
Elfman punched people left and right with his Beast Arm: Reptile, while shouting "Man!"
"IF you are a man, you should be fighting with your fists instead of fleeing!" Elfman shouted as he punched a group of Phantom Lord Mages.
"Ice Make: Ice Cannon!" Gray said as he made a cannon of ice and shot down a group of Phantom Lord Mages.
"Ice Make: Sharp Stalagmite!" Ur said as she slammed her hand on the ground, making spikes of ice appear on the ground, harming the Phantom Lord Mages.
Gray gave a smile as he was once again fighting beside his master in his life.
Erza cut people right and left while wearing her Heaven´s Wheel Armor, who were foolish enough to even think of attacking the scarlet haired knight.
"Trinity Sword!" Erza said as she slashed her swords in delta formation, cutting down the mages.
Cana Alberona threw her cards into different directions towards surrounding Phantom Lord mages, while Loke used his Ring Magic to attack the mages.
"Explosion Cards!" Cana said as she threw ten of her cards, which then created fire and burned the mages. "Twister!" Loke said as he then engulfed the attackers in a wind storm.
Gajeel, as he looked at the war going on in the guild, he couldn't see the person he sought.
"YOU WILL PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID..." A Fairy Tail mage said and attacked him with a sword, who Gajeel knocked out in one punch.
"Damn it, Void Knight, where the hell are you?!" Gajeel thought.
Earlier, with Natsu and Happy...
"HAPPY! It's that tower! Fly me directly to that tower, I can smell Lucy!" Natsu said, which Happy did and flew the fastest he could.
Into the tower that was close to the Phantom Lord Guild, Natsu saw Lucy being held hostage by Jose himself. While being carried and flying by Happy at great speed, Natsu then struck his fist into the stomach of the Phantom Lord Master, sending him flying out of the tower.
"LUCY! ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!" Natsu yelled concerned.
"It is okay with me, Natsu." Lucy said emotionlessly with shadowed eyes while Happy undid the rope on her hands, which Natsu noticed instantly.
"What is it Lucy?" Asked Natsu concerned. "It is because of me you have been dealt with this, please forgive me. You shouldn't have rescued me." Lucy said, but Natsu grabbed her shoulder.
"Lucy, I don't what is going on, but I am sure not rescuing you would be something I would regret for the rest of my days!" Natsu said, making Lucy´s eyes widen. Natsu then let go of her shoulder and then looked into the Phantom Lord Guild, where the war between Fairy Tail and Phantom Lord where going on.
"Happy, take Lucy to a safe place." Natsu said. "Huh? But Lucy is heavy." Happy said bluntly, making Lucy scream, "Hey!" While she slapped in the hair with a tick mark on her head.
"I need to go and join the fight. They need me." Natsu said, which made Lucy and Happy smile, as he thought of his guild members as his family.
"Ok, but I will then carry Lucy, even if she is that heavy!" Happy said, much to the blonde's annoyance.
Natsu then jumped into the building with great speed as darkness left behind him.
"YOU WILL REGRET MAKING AN ENEMY OF FAIRY TAIL!"
At the same time, Jose Porla, a man with dark red hair, a mustache, green eyes and purple outfit resembling a combination between a jester and a sorcerer, glared at Natsu who was currently heading towards the guild.
"Damn you, Void Knight, I will make sure you will remember not to take lightly of me..." The enraged Jose said to himself.
Present, in the Phantom Lord Guild...
"Huh?" Gajeel said to himself as he thought he heard something or someone with his enchanted senses.
"TIME TO FACE MY WRATH!" Natsu yelled as he smashed into the windows of Phantom Lord, while he punched Gajeel in the face and sent him flying towards the wall.
"NATSU! You are okay, which is manly!" Elfman said as he punched a massive Phantom Lord member in the face with a reptile arm.
"I am fine as usual, and ready to kick this iron head's ass for what he did to the Guild." Natsu said, which the Iron Dragon Slayer, then rose from the rubble.
"Gihi, don't worry, this time, you won't survive." Gajeel said as he grinned. "Well, I have more expected that you won't escape." Natsu mocked. "SHUT UP! Iron Dragon´s Sword!" Gajeel transformed his hand into a saw sword and then tried to slash with it, which Natsu simply countered by punching it with darkness, turning it back to normal.
"It seems you haven't learned anything from our previous battle." Natsu taunted. "Don't even think about it." Gajeel said as he then turned his other hand into a Iron pole and then tried to strike Natsu´s left side, which Natsu blocked with a kick of darkness.
"I have seen a kid coming up with better attacks than that." Natsu said. "Screw you!" Gajeel said and turned his forehead into iron, trying to head butt him, but Natsu kneed him on the chin, sending him flying into the air, which Natsu then jumped into the air, coated his leg in darkness and spun around, increasing in its power and speed, and then attacked.
"Abyss Dragon's Spinning Talon!" Natsu shouted, and then kicked the Iron Dragon Slayer to the ground, making a loud crash.
The Phantom Lord members were silent with shock.
"Impossible...!"
"Gajeel is handled down like a fly...!"
"That kid isn't even S-class, and he´s handling Black Steel like a toy?"
"You guys... KEEP YOUR MOUTHS CLOSED AND FIGHT!" Gajeel came out of the debris and punched them away.
Natsu gritted his teeth at the sight of Gajeel threatening his own guildmates.
"Even though you are in the same guild, you still hurt them...?" Natsu said with eyes shadowed, his voice cold as an ice age.
Gajeel was irritated by that. "And since when did friendship have to do with a guild?" Gajeel said, only to be punched in the face by Natsu with a darkness fist.
"FROM THE VERY BEGINNING!" Natsu roared in fury.
Makarov, wearing his Wizard Saint uniform, looking among the fighting and chaos going on in the Phantom Lord Guild.
"Damn you Jose... you will pay for what you did to my children." Makarov said, but before he could go to where Jose was, a man with a green robe, orange shirt, green top hat and white blindfold, came behind Makarov and put his palms above him!
"Huh?" Makarov said, before the large man then said "Metsu!" Causing Makarov to scream in pain, as he then fell into the ground, much to the horror of the Fairy Tail guild.
"MASTER!" The Fairy Tail Mages yelled.
"Damn it!" Erza said as she then cut her way through the masses of Phantom Lord members, and made her way to the unconscious Makarov.
"Master! Are you alright?!" Erza said, but didn't hear a response from the master. She then put her head to his chest to hear his heartbeat, which still beated, much to her relief.
"EVERYONE! RETREAT! THE MASTER IS UNCONSCIOUS!" Erza screamed, getting the attention from the mages.
"WHAT?! We can't retreat when we are so close to victory!" Gray yelled as he and Ur froze a mass of Phantom Lord members. "That´s right, we are going to be look like fools if we runs with our tails between our legs!" Cana said while she threw her cards at a group of Phantom Lord Mages. "Running from a battle is not MANLY!" Elfman said as he punched a group of attackers.
"I ORDER YOU ALL TO ESCAPE, AND THAT IS FINAL!" Erza yelled, which the other Fairy Tail mages doing as she said, with Phantom Lord taunting and mocking them.
Natsu grit his teeth in rage as Gajeel smirked. "You should do as Titania says, Void Knight, or else you are against your "Guild of Frienship." Gajeel taunted.
Natsu wanted to punch him, but he then ran alongside the other Fairy Tail mages from the Phantom Lord guild while the Phantom Lord members mocked them.
"Gihi, it seems like the flies are flying from the battle once more." Gajeel said.
Once Fairy Tail left Oak town, Natsu looked into the Phantom Lord Guild, thinking. "Phantom Lord. Next time shall be the last you think lowly of Fairy Tail." With rage was Natsu´s thought filled.
As the Phantom Lord mages cheered, the doors suddenly slammed open and in came Jose.
"MASTER?! Is there something the matter?" One of the guild members said. "Our target, Lucy Heartfilia, have escaped." Jose said lowly, making the guild go silent. "But don't worry, we shall take her back, and this time, Fairy Tail won't stop us and we shall teach them what happens when they mess with the greatest guild in Fiore, Phantom Lord!" Jose said darkly.
Later, at Porylusicas house...
In Porlyusica's home, which was a tree with doors windows, Porlyusica was currently treating the unconscious Makarov.
"Is it lethal, Porlyusica?" Bisca said as she and Alzack were in to bring Makarov to the healer of Fairy Tail.
The pink haired woman sighed as she checked on Makarov. "It seems that Makarov have been inflicted with Metsu, a Magic that focuses on draining someone Magic Power, the more powerful the target it drains from, the more lethal it is." Porlyusica said, much to Alzack and Bisca´s horror.
"Does that mean Master will..." Alzack said with horror, with Porlyusica interrupted him.
"I am not sure yet, it will take some time before he can be come back to his senses." Porlyusica said and then. "By the way, why are you still here? Leave! I hate humans!" Porlyusica said as she angrily waved her broom to the pair of gunslingers, who then immediately left her house.
Porlyusica sighed and then looked at Makarov who was bedridden.
"Makarov, you never seem to stop making me worry." Porlyusica said to herself.
Later, at Fairy Tail...
"So Gramps is in grave danger...?" Natsu said with his eyes shadowed.
The rest of the guild, were silent and terrified of the news of Makarov´s state.
"Sorry Natsu, I made you leave the battle, if only I wasn't caught..." Lucy said but Natsu stopped her. "Lucy, you did nothing wrong, so don't blame yourself for this." Natsu said, making Lucy widened.
"Lucy-sama, Natsu-sama, I wished I could have been there to protect you." Yukino said. Yukino was in the guild while Fairy Tail had attacked Phantom Lord, to check on the injured and make sure the guild wasn't attacked.
"Yukino, you did a good job along with the rest who were left, and that is something we all should be proud of." Mira said, making Yukino a bit more relieved.
"Yo Mira, where is Erza? I haven't seen her since we came back." Natsu said. "She went home, since she needed some time alone." Mira answered.
Natsu looked into the ground, as the others did as they know the shame they felt for retreating from their enemies.
"Erza, please don't blame yourself for this." Natsu thought.
With Erza...
In the shower, Erza let the water fall down on her naked body, cleaning her from the dirt, but not from the shame of them retreating the fight.
"Damn it... what kind of warrior am I? Why did we escape from the battle...? If I only been stronger... but I wasn't. What kind of mate am I, Natsu?" Erza thought as she then remembered the Dragon Mate Mark on her back.
"Natsu, I'm sorry for being such a weak mate... next time I meet those Phantom Lord villains..." Erza thought while she cried and then slammed her fist to the wall.
"...I won´t forgive them for trashing our guild." Erza thought while she grit her teeth in rage. She then turned off the water and stepped out of the shower, taking a towel to dry herself before teeing around her to cower herself.
Suddenly, the ground started to shake.
"Huh? What is going on?!" Erza said as she ran outside to see what was going on, but stopped and blushed once she saw she was only in her tower. She didn't blush because she was going out and had the chance of losing the towel, but that people might see the Mate Mark on her back, making her Re-quip into her Heart Kruz armor.
"Much better." Erza thought and then ran outside to see what was going on.
She then saw the other guild members gathered outside the guild, and saw what it was.
It was the Phantom Lord guild, but this time, it had been transformed into a massive robot like structure with arms and legs, and suddenly.
"Fairy Tail, please, if you wish to be still alive, please handle Lucy Heartfilia to us!" Jose said through the speaker.
"AND WHAT IF WE DON'T, YOU SON OF A BITCH?!" Natsu yelled.
"Then face your destiny of being erased from the earth itself!" Jose said and the ordered a massive cannon to revealed.
"With our great Weapon of Magic, Jupiter!" Jose said and then laughed like a maniac.
"JUPITER?! I have heard of that! It's a Magic Weapon of tremendous power, able to annihilate everything that is sent to!" Erza said terrified.
"I am going to say this one last time! Handle us Lucy Heartfilia, or else not even he ruins of your guild will be left!" Jose said.
"He is right." Lucy said as she then walked among the crowd to where the Phantom Lord Robot.
"Lucy..." Mira said.
"It is because of me you are going to have to deal with him. I am sorry. I truly gave you a lot of trouble." Lucy said and then walked to the large robot. "Everyone! I have a lot of fun here, so I hope..." Lucy said, but was stopped once Natsu grabbed her arm.
"Natsu...?" Lucy said confused. "I can see it in your eyes. The happiness you when you joined. You were so happy, so joyful and so positive, as you didn't want anything to let that slip away..." Natsu said with his eyes shadowed and then showed them to Lucy, which were serious as a dragon.
"...but now, as you are about handle yourself to the Phantom bastards, you are nothing but filled with sadness, and I will not make you sad!" Natsu said, making Lucy then clasp her hand on her mouth while crying tears of happiness.
Erza looked at Natsu determined and then spoke.
"PHANTOM LORD! WE WILL NEVER LEAVE ONE OF OUR NAKAMA BEHIND, EVEN IF IT MEANS DEATH!" Erza shouted.
"Well, it seems you Fairy fools have brain of a fairy, since you are stupid enough to let yourself get killed! Fire the Jupiter!" Jose ordered, which then the Magical Cannon charged.
"But we won't let yourself kill us, because we aren't that weak!" Erza said and then Re-quipped into her Adamantine Armor, which were armor made by dark blue and black metal, with two half shields coming from her back.
"That is Erza´s best Armor in defense!" Elfman said.
"FIRE!" Jose said and then the large cannon fired a massive blast of Magic, aiming straight to Magnolia.
"Like hell I will let this happen to Erza!" Natsu said and then jumped in front of Erza.
"Natsu, what are you doing?! MOVE!" Erza screamed, but Natsu then held his arms and gathered darkness in his hand, and then closed his arms in a x-pattern, making two massive wings of darkness engulf into the air, big enough to cover the Fairy Tail Guild.
"Abyss Dragon´s Wing Closure!" Natsu said, which then the Jupiter blast hit the wings, which then collided in a massive clash of power.
Natsu grit his teeth as he tried to block the attack, which then started slowly and slowly go into the wings Natsu made.
The Fairy Tail guild members were stunned and silent, and, so was Phantom Lord too.
As more and more the Jupiter attack went into Natsu wings, erasing them, Natsu then suddenly threw his arms upwards, sending the blast to the sky.
Everyone was silent to see the beam disappearing from the sky, as if a rock falling into the water.
"Amazing..." Yukino said, as she couldn't believe what she was seeing. "I know Natsu have trained in these past two years, but hell..." Elfman said, as he was too silent to even say "Manly."
Natsu suddenly feel on his knees.
"NATSU!" Erza said as she got back into her regular armor. She then grabbed Natsu, who panted. "Damn it... I managed to erase most of it. I might be able to erase Magic, but if the magic is much stronger than me, it will be a lot harder." Natsu said as he then panted.
Jose gritted his teeth.
"Damn it, you brats! Shades!" Jose said and then sent out an army of dark ghosts from his body, which were in a number of thousands.
"What the hell are these?!" Wakaba said.
"Shade, Jose´s signature type of Magic, which allows him to control and make phantom soldiers." Levy said as she entered the scene.
"Levy!" Lucy said. "Don't worry, I have handled Jet and Droy to Porlyusica, so they will be fine." Levy said.
Natsu grinned as he saw the phantom swirling around the area like flies.
"So these are Darkness-based, huh? Just what I needed, a refill." Natsu said, got up and started to inhale, making the phantoms go inside his mouth, shocking the others, mostly Jose.
"Impossible... he swallowed all of them...?" Jose said shocked.
Natsu´s cheeks were large as a hamster´s and then swallowed the ghosts he inhaled.
Natsu grinned as his strength and Magical power came back.
"Alright, it´s time to taste the dark!" Natsu said and punched his palm.
"Grr, don't be so arrogant!" Jose said and then summoned another army of Shades.
"I am going to help you to handle them, Natsu." Erza said. "Me too, I am going to make sure to show that I won't let them take me away from here." Lucy said. "And back to my horrible dad." Lucy thought.
"I am gonna fight, cause I am a man!" Elfman said. "Count me in too." Yukino said as she then stepped forward. "Yukino..." Lucy said. "As fellow Celestial Spirit Mages, I will aid you in the fight. I hope you don't mind, Lucy-sama?" Yukino said.
Lucy grew a smile. "I won't at all. It is time we show the Phantom bastards what happens when they mess with Fairy Tail." Lucy said and then looked at the Phantom Lord Machine.
"And I won't let anyone harm you either, Yukino!" Lucy said.
"Alright, then let's make sure to give Phantom Lord a nightmare they will never forget!" Natsu said and coated himself in darkness.
And that´s it for chapter 12, sorry if was short, but I made this short as possible. As you see, I made some changes, cause I wanted to make it as original as possible. Sorry if I execrated Elfman saying man, since I said "friendship" was execrated and annoying in the Fairy Tail canon manga, I just wanted to keep Elfman in characters. Also, shut up if you made Erza useless as I made Natsu take the Jupiter blast. You should be glad and I also showed a weakness in Natsu´s Magic.
But in the next chapter, I am gonna make Erza have a fight, so she will have enough energy to fight one of the Element 4. If you enjoyed it, please review, fave and enjoy and I will update soon as possible. Bye!
