AN: Hello, my readers! Here I am, delivering you another story of our beloved slime.
This time, he'll run into a fun group of mages.
How will Fairy Tail deal with a being like him?
You'll have to read this story to find out.
Fairy Tail is set after the Tartaros arc, but without the separation of the guild.
Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken is set after the second season.
I don't own anything.
The sun's rays illuminated the quiet town of Magnolia, where its inhabitants could do their homework or hang out without any problems.
BOOM
I think I spoke too soon, for it was known throughout the city that the one place where there was almost never any peace was in the most powerful yet craziest guild in the entire kingdom of Fiore.
Fairy Tail.
"Damn! Now you've pissed me off!" said Natsu covering his fist with fire before slamming it into Gray, sending him crashing into a table that was destroyed on impact.
"Very well. If that's how you want to settle things, fine by me." said Gray before creating an ice bazooka over his shoulder and shooting a missile towards the dragon slayer.
Unfortunately, Natsu dodged the missile and that caused it to impact Gajeel's back, knocking him to the ground.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Gajeel." said Gray before an iron club hit both him and Natsu in the face.
"If only saying sorry would fix everything, everything would be simpler." said Gajeel.
"Hey, why did you hit me too screw face?!" asked Natsu.
"For dodging the attack. And what did you call me, Salamander?" asked Gajeel looking angrily at the fire dragon slayer.
Before long, the three of them ended up getting into a fight, punching each other and breaking tables in the process.
Fortunately, the other members were simply staying out of the fray and trying to make sure they didn't end up getting hit by some stray attack.
"Every morning the same." said Lucy with her head resting on one hand as she sat at a table with Wendy, Erza, Happy, Charle and Lily.
"Unfortunately, that's just the way Fairy Tail is." said Charle.
"Aye, sir." said Happy.
"Yes, but it's this atmosphere that makes it lively and fun." said Wendy.
"I agree. It even reminds me of the old days." said Erza.
"I'm surprised you're not going to stop them." said Lily.
"I'm feeling in a good mood today and I don't feel like intervening. Besides, I'm not the only one here too." said Erza.
Just as she said that, a shadow loomed over the two dragon slayers and the ice mage that made them stop to look up, only to stand aghast when they saw the guild master, who had turned giant as he glared at them in fury.
"That's enough fighting!" exclaimed Makarov before smashing the three mages with a giant fist.
After that, he returned to his normal form.
"Heh. Sometimes I forget how stern the master can be when he gets pissed off." said Lucy with a smile.
"Hey, old man, why did you interrupt us?" asked Natsu.
"Yeah, I was just about to finish him off." said Gajeel.
"You to me?" asked Natsu with annoyance.
"For two reasons. The first, you were causing too much of a ruckus. And the second is because I have to talk to all of you" said Makarov seriously.
"With us?" asked Wendy.
"Is something wrong, master?" asked Erza.
"We'll discuss it in my office." said Makarov.
That was enough to convince the group of mages and exceed that this was something important enough to have to discuss in private.
Soon after, they all gathered in the office, with the guild master in front of them.
"What have you gathered us here for, master?" asked Lucy.
"It is about a mission I would like to entrust to you." said Makarov.
"A mission? Great. Let's go there." said Natsu before leaving the office.
The office was silent for a few seconds before Natsu returned with a nervous smile.
"Hehehe. This... What's the mission?" asked Natsu.
"Now you're catching on?" asked Charle with a bead of sweat.
"He truly has ashes for brains." muttered Gray.
"Anyway, why is he communicating this to us privately and not on the board as usual?" asked Erza.
"Because it's about a very important mission. A mission commissioned by the magical council." said Makarov.
"The magical council?" asked Wendy, remembering that, after Tartaros, a new magical council was formed, composed of the most powerful mages in the kingdom.
"If they're the ones who requested the mission, it's certainly something serious." said Lily.
"That's right. It turns out that crimes have been happening all over the kingdom and they all point to a dark guild." said Makarov.
"A dark guild?" asked Happy.
"They call themselves Phoenix Tail and they've been committing all sorts of crimes for the past few months." said Makarov.
"And they want us to wipe them out? Sounds like fun." said Gajeel with a toothy grin.
"Wait, they commissioned just us?" asked Gray.
"Apparently, rumor has it that the guild master possesses unusual, but powerful magic. Given our membership and battle history, they feel we are best suited to attack them, though they have informed the other guilds to act if necessary." said Makarov.
"I understand. In that case, we accept the mission." said Erza speaking for everyone.
"Yeah, we'll kick their asses." said Natsu pounding his fist with his palm.
"But what if the guild master really does have powerful magic?" asked Lucy.
"Don't worry, Lucy. I'm sure that, if we all work together, we can defeat him." said Wendy with a confident smile.
"Yes, because that's what Fairy Tail is like." said Gray with a smile.
"Aye, sir." said Happy.
"Any word by any chance on where your guild might be? I don't feel like going all over the kingdom looking for them." said Gajeel.
"Yes. Fortunately, the agents of the magical council were able to gather information about their location." said Makarov showing a rolled-up parchment.
"That will make the mission a little easier." said Lily.
"Now, go, my children and be careful. We don't know what the members of that guild might do." said Makarov handing them the scroll with the information.
"Heh. Don't worry, old man. We'll be right back." said Natsu.
"Yeah, those guys will be shot down the moment they see us." said Gray.
"Or even before they see us." said Gajeel.
Once the meeting was over, the group left the office, leaving the master alone.
"Why do I have a feeling something is going to happen? I just hope they're going to be okay." thought Makarov.
Meanwhile, in a mysterious room, there was a round table with five people sitting at it.
"Well, then, why are we gathered here?" asked a woman with light blue skin and dark blue hair.
"This had better be important. Time is money and you know how important it is to me." said a man with greenish hair combed back in a spiky manner and sporting a pink tuxedo.
"Would it kill you that much to give a little?" asked a stocky, shaven-haired man with a toothy grin and a sleeveless shirt.
"You want to die, you bastard?" asked the man in the tuxedo.
"Gentlemen, please refrain from causing any commotion." said a man who looked like a plague doctor.
"He's right." began a man wearing helmeted samurai armor that completely covered his face. "So, tell us why we are meeting, master." said the samurai looking at a gap in the table where someone else was standing.
It was a tall, handsome young man in his early twenties with short blond hair and wearing a burgundy blazer with gold embroidery on the right side, matching pants and black dress shoes.
"You see, the reason I have gathered you is because my sources have informed me that the magical council has sent a group of mages from a guild to stop us." said the guild master.
"WHAT?! Those fuckers! Why can't they just leave us alone?!" asked the blue-skinned woman.
"It doesn't matter to me. Let whoever it is come. I'll just kill them with the steel of my sword." said the samurai with his hand resting on the hilt of his sheathed sword.
"Yes, I agree with him. Let's send them to hell headlong. That is if they still keep it." said the stout man with a demented grin.
"Argh. All the gold I gathered so far is going to disappear because of those meddlers. I won't stand for that!" said the man in the tuxedo.
"What do you suggest we do, master?" asked the plague doctor.
"Simple. We simply activate the spell." said the guild master.
"Wait, you mean that spell? I thought it wasn't finished." said the man in the tuxedo.
"It had been for a while. I didn't tell you because I didn't know if you were going to use it against me." said the guild master.
"That's understandable." said the samurai.
"With that spell, we won't only take down those who come at us, but we will wipe out anyone who gets in our way." said the plague doctor.
"We will finally go from being a heap guild to a powerful guild like Oración Seis, Grimoire Heart and Tartaros were." said the blue-skinned woman with a wicked grin.
"No. We will be far more powerful than all of them put together." said the guild master.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's activate that spell at once." said the stout man.
"For once, I agree with him." said the man in the tuxedo.
"All right. If that's the way you want it, we'll go right now." said the guild master.
"One more question, master." began the plague doctor catching the master's attention. "What if those mages come to the room where we will perform the spell?"
The guild master simply gave him a smile.
"In that case, simply show them what you are capable of doing." said the guild master.
A couple of hours had passed since Natsu and the others left on their mission to stop the dark guild.
Following the directions given to them by Makarov, the group knew how to guide themselves correctly, although, during the journey, they had to take a train, which was torture for the three dragon slayers.
Right now, the group was in a rocky desert land, with huge rock pillars in some parts.
"Is it much farther?" asked Natsu.
"As we've told you the last 20 times, there's still a bit left." said Lucy.
"Would you have preferred to go in a vehicle to go faster?" asked Gray with a smile.
"N-No, no, it's not necessary." said Natsu with a nervous smile, as he didn't like the idea of going by vehicle.
"Ha. How pathetic, Salamander." said Gajeel.
"You wouldn't want to go by vehicle either given how you got on the train." said Lily.
"Are we on the right track, Erza?" asked Wendy.
"According to the coordinates the master gave us, we should be close by now. Almost seeing it even." said Erza.
"Well, it doesn't look like it. There's nothing but rocks and boulders here." said Happy flying a bit to get a better view.
"Being a dark guild, they probably have a way to hide." said Charle.
"That's a good theory. Natsu, Wendy, Gajeel, can you locate it with your sense of smell?" asked Erza.
"Tsk. What do you think we are, sniffer dogs?" asked Gajeel crossing his arms.
"I'll try." said Natsu accepting the task before starting to sniff the air, along with Wendy. "Hmm."
"Did you locate anything?" asked Lucy.
"Yes, noticed a smell that doesn't match the location in that direction." said Natsu pointing in a direction where there was nothing.
"What are you talking about? There's nothing there. Your nose must be messed up." said Gray.
"What did you say?" asked Natsu ready to fight the ice mage.
"No. I think he's right. I can smell it too." said Wendy.
Gajeel then decided to sniff the air to check it out.
"Yes. That's right. There's a strange smell over there." said Gajeel pointing in the same direction as the fire dragon slayer.
"In that case, maybe there really is something there." said Charle.
"But what? I don't see anything" said Happy.
"Maybe if I get a little closer, maybe it could…" began Natsu moving in the direction he found the smell before it suddenly disappeared.
"Natsu!" said Lucy surprised and worried about her friend.
"D-Did he disappear?" asked Gray in surprise.
That's when Natsu's head suddenly appeared.
"Hey guys, you have to see this!" said Natsu before his head disappeared.
The others stared in confusion before they approached the spot where Natsu disappeared and in the next instant, the surroundings around them changed completely, as in front of them was a very tall hill.
"Huh? What happened?" asked Wendy very confused.
"It seems that this place was surrounded by a barrier that made it invisible and undetectable." said Erza understanding.
"Good thing we had dragon slayers with us." said Lily.
"Yes. Or we would have been walking for hours without finding anything." said Gray.
"So this is where the dark guild is located?" asked Natsu.
"There's only one way to find out." said Gajeel before they all set off up the hill.
When they reached the top, they saw that it wasn't a hill, but a gigantic crater that must have been created by a meteor impact and in the center of that crater was a four-sided pyramidal structure.
"That must be their main base." said Lucy.
"Okay, listen up everyone, we don't know what kind of magic those in there possess. So we have to go in with caution and stealth. The key is to be able to stop them all before they can do anything." said Erza.
"Boring. You can do that, I'm going to do my thing. Charge!" shouted Natsu before running down the hill towards the guild base.
"Hey, if you're going to do that, so am I!" said Gajeel before following the fire dragon slayer.
"Wait for me, Natsu!" said Happy flying after his friend.
"Gajeel, don't be hasty!" said Lily flying after her companion.
"*Sigh* I should have known this would happen by taking them with us." said Gray.
"So are they." said Charle with her arms crossed.
"What do we do now, Erza?" asked Wendy.
"We have no choice but to make a change of plans." began Erza before summoning a sword. "Here we go." said Erza before she and the others went running after the two dragon slayers and their exceeds.
In the middle of the run, Gajeel caught up with Natsu and now they were both next to each other.
"Stay out of my way!" said Natsu.
"Same here, Salamander!" said Gajeel.
"Have you figured out what to do when you get there?" asked Lily flying up beside them.
"Doesn't look like there's a door." said Happy flying next to them.
"So..." began Natsu with a toothy grin.
"We'll create our own." finished Gajeel with a toothy grin.
The next instant, the two dragon slayers began to inhale air.
"Fire Dragon's Roar! / Iron Dragon's Roar!" shouted the two as they shot out of their mouths a tornado of fire and another of metal pieces.
Both tornadoes impacted the wall of the structure, causing an explosion that created a gaping hole leading inside.
Such an explosion was heard all over the place, including in a huge room where the master and his subordinates were standing.
"Looks like they've arrived earlier than I expected." said the guild master without losing his smile.
"Those weaklings. Couldn't they have erected a more effective barrier? Why do I even pay them?" asked the man in a tuxedo.
"You've never paid anyone, you cheap grabber." commented the blue-skinned woman.
"I'm surprised you don't want to go with our troops to fight those intruders." said the plague doctor to the samurai.
"I would have liked to bathe my sword in their blood, but right now, my place is here, where we will perform the spell." said the samurai.
"You are right. So let's not waste any more time" said the guild master before taking out of his pocket a small vial with a reddish-purple liquid.
Uncapping it, he poured the entire contents onto the floor just before a sort of glowing ring with strange symbols formed all over the floor of the room.
"Now, let us begin." said the guild master.
"Intruders! Intruders!" shouted a guild soldier.
"Quick! We must stop them as soon as possible!" said another soldier.
"We can't fail or the master will kill us!" said another soldier.
Several soldiers charged towards the Fairy Tail mages who had entered the building through the 'other entrance'.
"That's it. Come and get me." said Natsu as he created in his two hands a fireball which he then gathered over his head to form a larger one. "Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame!" shouted Natsu launching the fireball towards the soldiers, knocking down several of them.
"Open the Gate of the Maiden! Virgo!" shouted Lucy holding up a golden key before a light suddenly appeared and from it a maid emerged.
"What do you wish of me, princess?" asked Virgo politely.
"Take those guys down." said Lucy as she pulled out her whip.
"Very well." said Virgo before burying herself in the ground.
Soon after, a huge hole formed underneath a group of soldiers, causing them to fall to the bottom.
One soldier managed to get close to Lucy, but she threw her whip at him which wrapped around him and then sent him crashing into several soldiers, knocking them all down.
"Good job princess, can you punish me too?" asked Virgo.
"This is no time for that!" said Lucy.
"Ice-Make: Hammer!" shouted Gray causing a giant ice hammer to appear above the soldiers before it impacted on them.
Erza knocked down several soldiers with her sword before she was surrounded by several.
"Re-equip! Flight Armor!" shouted Erza as her attire and weapons completely changed.
Before the soldiers could react, Erza moved so fast she looked like a blur, hitting all the soldiers in a matter of seconds.
"Sky Dragon's Wing Attack!" shouted Wendy firing a pair of tornadoes from her arms that knocked down several soldiers.
One soldier charged straight towards Gajeel and that's when he jumped high into the air.
"Iron Dragon's Club!" shouted Gajeel turning his arm into an iron club that extended until it impacted the soldier, who was dragged along the ground as the club continued to extend.
Then, when it landed on the ground, Gajeel swung his arm/club back and forth to hit more soldiers given how far it extended.
Meanwhile, Lily, who had taken his warrior form, was taking down soldiers with his sword.
In a matter of minutes, they took down all the enemy soldiers.
"Ha. They're no big deal." said Natsu.
"And they sent us to deal with them? It would have been enough to send anyone." said Gajeel.
"Don't let your guard down. They were just soldiers." said Erza.
"True. Who knows how strong the core members of the guild might be." said Lucy.
"Not to mention their master." said Gray.
"But none of them have shown up so far." said Wendy.
"Which leaves us with two options. Either they've run away or they're planning something as we speak." said Lily.
"They haven't run away. I can sense an enormous amount of magical power in one place." said Charle.
"It's probably them." said Happy.
"In that case, let's head that way." said Natsu.
"Yes!" said the others in agreement.
Wasting no time, the group of mages ran inside the building to search for the last members of the dark guild.
Back in the room where the guild master and his main subordinates, the circle engraved on the floor was beginning to glow brighter as the guild master had his arms outstretched, as if concentrating.
"How long until it's complete? I don't like wasting time, as it's like wasting gold." said the man in the tuxedo.
"Would it work if I knocked you out? Because you're making it easy for me." said the blue-skinned woman.
"Oh, yeah. I like that idea." said the stout man.
"Quiet everyone. This is a very complex spell. Any distraction could mess it up." said the samurai.
"I just hope this is completed before…" began the plague doctor when...
BOOM
An explosion happened at the entrance to the room, along with a curtain of smoke.
"Let something like this happen." finished the plague doctor.
When the smoke cleared, the Fairy Tail mages came into view.
"Anybody home?" asked Natsu with a toothy grin and fists wrapped in fire.
"That symbol… I see. You are from Fairy Tail." said the guild master stopping his concentration.
"And I take it you're the Phoenix Tail guild master, right?" asked Erza.
"Well, I see my fame precedes. I am flattered." said the dark guild master with a smile.
"Well, you can feel as flattered as you want in a cell." said Gajeel.
"Mmm. A good offer, but I'll have to turn it down. I'm kind of busy right now." said the guild master.
It was then that the others noticed the glowing circle on the floor.
"W-What is this?" asked Lucy.
"I don't know, but I have a feeling it's nothing good." said Charle.
"In that case, we need to stop them before they do anything." said Gray taking off his shirt.
"I like that." said Natsu.
"Aye, sir." said Happy.
"I don't know what you are planning, but you better stop it right now or we'll have to force you." said Erza pointing her sword at the guild master.
"Too bad. I can't stop it and it's not because I can't, it's that I don't want to. Gentlemen, ma'am. Please take care of our uninvited guests." said the guild master.
"Yes, master." said the other guild members preparing to fight.
"You have beautiful skin. It would be a shame to damage it." said the blue-skinned woman.
"What do you think you I'm going to let you. Open the Gate of the Goat! Capricorn!" shouted Lucy holding up a golden key, causing a humanoid goat that looked like a butler and wearing sunglasses to appear in a flash of light.
"At your service, Miss Lucy." said Capricorn.
"Oh, celestial magic. How interesting." said the blue-skinned woman with a smile.
"I'm not done yet. Celestial Dress! Capricorn Form!" shouted Lucy changing her attire completely.
"Impressive. In fact, you've impressed me so much that I'll let you take the first swing." said the blue-skinned woman.
"Really?" asked Lucy surprised that the enemy would let her strike first.
"Yes." began the blue-skinned woman before holding out her arms. "Go ahead. Take your best shot. I'm waiting."
"Careful, Miss Lucy. This could be some trick." said Capricorn suspiciously.
"It's possible, but we can't pass on the opportunity. Come on!" said Lucy before she and the spirit charged towards the woman and then leapt with their legs out in front intending to deliver a strong double kick.
However, within inches of hitting her, the two felt as if they hit an invisible barrier, much to their surprise.
"What?" asked Lucy before suddenly an unknown force hit them both and sent them back.
"Miss Lucy, are you okay?" asked Capricorn as she knelt down.
"I-I'm fine, but what was that? It felt like something hit me hard." said Lucy moaning slightly from the pain as she and the spirit got up.
"Hahaha. Of course it felt like that. After all, you did hit yourself." said the blue-skinned woman.
"What do you mean?" asked Lucy.
"It's about my reflective magic. Not only does it protect me from attacks, but I return them to the attacker." said the blue-skinned woman.
"Now I understand. When we attacked her, her magic caused us to take the damage from our attack." said Capricorn.
"Looks like things have gotten complicated." said Lucy.
"Aren't you going to attack again? Okay, then it's my turn." said the blue-skinned woman before dashing towards them.
"You know? Maybe after I kill you, I'll sell your dead body. Maybe they'll give me gold for your corpse." said the man in the tuxedo.
"I'm not going to die. Ice-Make: Lance!" shouted Gray firing several ice lances from his hands that shot at the man in the tuxedo.
"Ice magic? What a crock. Gold-Make: Spears!" shouted the man in the tuxedo shooting several gold spears from his hands that impacted against the ice lances, neutralizing them in the process.
"What the hell...?" asked Gray in surprise. "That was… gold?"
"That's right. My gold-make magic allows me to create anything. That's why gold is the most important thing. With it I can achieve anything. Your ice is worthless before my gold." said the tuxedoed man with a cocky grin.
"What do you say we check it out?" asked Gray pounding his fist with his palm, preparing to continue fighting.
Erza was about to lunge towards the dark guild master when suddenly, she felt something coming towards her quickly and raised her sword in time to block the samurai's blade before pushing him back.
"The famous swordswoman Erza Scarlet. Allow me to tell you that it is an honor to meet you. Your blood will be great fodder for my sword." said the samurai.
"You are mad. I have no time to waste with you." said Erza.
"Well, I do." said the samurai before lunging towards her, but Erza dodged the attack before hitting the armor with her sword, but the moment it made contact, it shattered like glass.
"What?" asked Erza completely surprised.
"Surprised? That's the power of my cursed armor." said the samurai.
"Cursed armor?" asked Erza.
"Yes. It is armor that is impossible to remove and completely immune to any sword." said the samurai.
Erza was surprised, as she didn't expect such an item to exist.
That just proved that her opponent was going to be tougher than she thought.
"We'll see about that. Re-equip! Flame Empress Armor!" shouted Erza changing her armor and getting a new sword.
"Interesting. Prove to me that you are a worthy opponent and let my sword bathe in your blood." said the samurai preparing to fight.
"Tell me, is it true that you possess healing magic?" the plague doctor asked Wendy.
"W-Well…" began Wendy nervously.
"Don't answer the enemy!" said Charle.
"Oh, so that's a 'yes' then. Fabulous. It's like fate has brought us together." said the plague doctor.
"Brought us together? What do you mean?" asked Wendy.
"It means it will be my magic that kills you." began the plague doctor before his staff turned into a scythe with a rusty blade. "Slashing Scythe!" shouted the plague doctor before lunging towards her to cut her down, but Wendy managed to jump in time to dodge him.
The moment she landed on the ground, Wendy's expression turned to one of terror.
"What is it, Wendy?" asked Charle.
"That… That thing… Smells horrible… It smells… It smells like poison." said Wendy in terror.
"I see you've noticed. Worthy of a dragon slayer. That's right, it's my black plague magic." said the plague doctor.
"*Gasp* B-Black plague?!" asked Charle completely horrified.
"What is that?" asked Wendy.
"A terrible disease that affected most of the kingdom for years long ago. Some rumored it was because of a magical experiment." said Charle.
"Yes and I am the only one who has managed to find that information. With my magic, I can easily exterminate anyone who crosses our path. That's why I must be the one to kill you, bearer of healing magic." said the plague doctor.
"You're a monster!" said Wendy.
"I prefer to consider myself a pest exterminator and you, my dear, are a pest I have to eliminate." said the plague doctor preparing his scythe to strike.
"Be careful, Wendy. If that thing touches you, there's a good chance you'll die." said Charle.
"I know." said Wendy preparing to fight.
"Hehehe. You look strong. I hope you put up a good fight before I crush you." said the stout man.
"Funny. I was going to say the same thing." said Gajeel with a toothy grin.
"Don't get too confident. We don't know what kind of magic he has." said Lily still in her warrior form.
"Then we'll find out now." began Gajeel before covering his body with iron scales and lunging towards the enemy. "Iron Dragon's Hard Fist!" shouted Gajeel punching him in the chest.
However, the stout man was in no way affected by the blow.
What's more, just as Gajeel looked at the impact area, he saw that the part he had hit had turned to metal.
"Hehehe. Is that all? I didn't even feel a tickle." said the stout man before striking Gajeel, who managed to raise his arms in time to block the attack, though he ended up being pushed backwards.
"He's strong." commented Lily.
"What the hell was that?" asked Gajeel shedding his iron scaled skin.
"Well, since you ask, I'll tell you. It's all about my resistance magic. I can make my skin as tough as I wish. From the hardest rock to the toughest metal. Your blows will do nothing to me." said the sturdy man.
"Oh yeah? In that case, let's see which of us is tougher." said Gajeel pounding his fist with his palm.
"Heh. I like you. Too bad I have to kill you." said the sturdy man.
"You'll have to kill us both for that." said Lily preparing his sword to fight.
The dark guild master stood to the side, focusing on the spell while his subordinates dealt with the intruders.
It was then that he noticed something out of the corner of his eye and turned his head just as a blast of fire engulfed him completely.
That attack was caused by Natsu, who saw the result with a smile.
"Ha. How about that?" asked Natsu.
"Well done, Natsu. You managed to catch it by surprise." said Happy.
But then, they were left with their mouths hanging open when they saw the master come out of the flames unharmed.
"I must assume that you are Natsu Dragneel, the fire dragon slayer. You don't look as impressive as I was told." said the guild master.
"What? How come you didn't get burned?" asked Natsu in surprise.
"A good question. Why don't you come to me and find out?" asked the guild master.
"If that's what you want, fine by me. Happy." said Natsu.
"Aye, sir." said Happy spreading his wings and grabbing Natsu by the back to launch himself flying like a bullet towards the guild master as Natsu wrapped himself in a cloak of fire.
"Fire Dragon's Sword Horn!" shouted Natsu lunging to hit him headfirst.
However, the master was unaffected by the blow, not even backing up a bit, which came as a surprise to Natsu who, before reacting, received a knee to the stomach, along with a punch to the face that sent him backwards.
"Natsu, are you all right?" asked Happy.
"Yes, I am. Damn, that's really hard." said Natsu rubbing the hit part of his face.
"Well, it's about the guild master, so it's only natural that he's as strong as ours." said Happy.
"Oh, I can assure you that I'm much stronger than that old dwarf of yours that you call master." said the guild master.
"How dare you insult the old man, you bastard?" asked Natsu wrapping his fist in fire and lunging towards him. "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" shouted Natsu throwing his fist towards him, but then, the guild master grabbed his fist with his own hand, to the dragon slayer's surprise.
"I see you haven't noticed, but your fire doesn't affect me at all." said the guild master before giving him another punch that sent him crashing into the wall.
"Natsu!" shouted Happy worried for his friend.
"Your magic may kill dragons, but it has nothing to do against my power." said the guild master with a smile.
"Ugh. It's clear. I'm going to kick your ass!" exclaimed Natsu before jumping up really high. "Fire Dragon's Wing Attack!" shouted Natsu expelling two streams of fire from his arms which he launched towards him, but the guild master jumped backwards to dodge it.
However, it was then that he noticed something that wiped away his smile.
It turned out that Natsu's attack had hit the glowing circle on the floor, creating cracks in some of the symbols.
Not only that.
When the blue-skinned woman lunged toward Lucy and Capricorn with a punch ready to throw, they dodged it, causing the fist to impact another symbol in the circle.
Gray shot an ice missile at his opponent, but he dodged it, causing it to impact another symbol.
The samurai lunged at Erza with his sword raised, but she dodged to the side, causing the sword to hit another symbol.
Wendy jumped to dodge another attack from the plague doctor's scythe, causing it to hit another symbol in the circle.
Finally, Gajeel and the stout man were with their fists connected, trying to push each other away just as Lily came in to hit him with his sword, but they both pulled back, causing Lily to impact the sword against another symbol.
All that made the guild master start to worry.
"Freeze everyone!" shouted the guild master causing all the fighting to stop. "Don't you realize where we are?" asked the guild master pointing to the glowing circle on the ground that had several symbols with cracks in it.
"Oh, shit." said the man in the tuxedo.
