A month after Fantasia Parade. We turn our attention at the port side of Hargeon, where a recently opened Restaurant, 8island is at.
"hello and welcome! Have you decided on your order?" said Lucy wearing the 8island waitress uniform as she greeted two customers.
"blue sky Bolognese and a holy soda for me, please" said one customer.
"I'll have the beastman curry" said the other customer sitting in the same table
"would you like to order dessert with that?" ask Lucy with a smile
"let's see…. I'll have the ruby parfait then" replied the customer as the other agreed on having the same dish.
"thank you very much!" said Lucy with a smile before looking to the side as a customer called out to her. "coming~!"
"excuse me, sonny. Can I have a refill?" an old man called out to Gray who was wearing his boxers and a tie, while he was in the middle of taking some meals for some customers
"yes sir, in just a minute," Gray said as he quickly went to give the meal to the customer who had ordered it.
"please come again" said Erza who bowed goodbye to some customer who left the restaurant with stuffed stomachs. Erza, Gray, and Lucy are working at the restaurant that is owned by the former council member, Yajima who had asked a favor from Makarov as they are also getting paid, mostly for Lucy's rent money.
"man…Lisanna and Mira are pro at doing this" said Gray while sweating a bit as they been working back and forth on serving the customers.
"put on your clothes, will ya?" said Lucy with a sweatdrop as she is tired of telling Gray to wear his clothes.
The bell by the door rings as new customers came in.
"welcome~!" said Lucy with a smile before two pink blurs went in and bump to her legs.
"hi, Lucy-neechan!" said Haruka and Haruo with happy smiles as the twins came to the restaurant.
"Haruka-chan! Haruo-chan! Welcome!" said Lucy in greeting the twins before the bell by the door rings again as Ikaruga came in.
"welcome to 8island, Ikaruga" said Erza, greeting the twin's mother.
"i can see now why my children are so anxious about coming to this restaurant" said Ikaruga with a smile.
After the Fantasia Parade was over, Natsu introduced Ikaruga to the twins and to the guild as he told them of her being the children's mother and his lover. She did not join the guild. however, she is welcomed to the guild at any time that she wants.
"are there any ice cream here?!" asked Haruka with an excited smile to Lucy who brought the three to their table.
"of course! There's also yogurt, parfait, smoothies, and many more!" said Lucy as this got Haruka and Haruo's eyes to sparkle and their mouths drooling.
Ikaruga and the twins sat down by a table as Lucy took their order with a smile.
"Natsu didn't come with you guys?" asked Gray while passing by with a tray of drinks.
"he said that he has an urgent business with your guild's master" replied Ikaruga while wiping off the drools that are coming down her twins' mouths.
"now that she said it" said Erza nearby, as she remembered Makarov telling her of some business that he needed to attend to.
"get back to work" said Yajima while appearing behind the three all a sudden.
"YES!" said Lucy and the others as they quickly went back to working.
At newly rebuilt Council at Era. Makarov is walking down the hallway with a council messenger as his escort, the Guild Master had done a private meeting with some councilmen and is planning to go home soon.
On the way out, Makarov sees Natsu standing by, the man wearing his cloak with an unreadable expression.
"Natsu" Makarov called out to the salmon-haired mage who heard him and glanced to his direction. "is your business done in the council?"
"yes" replied Natsu before looking away. "it is"
Makarov looks at Natsu before the two joined up and left the council.
Leaving the council together, Makarov and Natsu are walking down the road of where the council is located at. Makarov glance at Natsu as the man just kept silent after his previous words before.
"how is it?" said Makarov as Natsu glance at the old man once before forward.
"they are continuing with the decree" said Natsu before sighing. "it made me relieved"
"they did? For what reason, though?" asked Makarov to Natsu who shrugs his shoulders.
"I honestly have no clue" replied Natsu before he glanced to the sky above and sees the blue sky. "all that matters for me is that I have more time before I can repent my sins"
"your sins are not true sins, Natsu" said Makarov to Natsu who shakes his head.
"true or not" said Natsu before frowning a bit "my sins are as true as they can be"
The next day at Fairy Tail. Lucy is at the guild with others as they are all discussing the recent activity of the dark guild alliance, the Baram Alliance.
"what is this about?" asked Lucy while looking at a drawn floating chart of the said dark Guild Alliance.
"the Balam Alliance been having a lot of activities lately" said Mira while crossing her arms. "apparently one of the three main dark guilds are making a move"
"the Oracion Seis" stated Erza as everyone looks to the dark guild's name
"I've heard that Oracion Seis only has 6 members," said Macao.
"they ain't that big deal of a guild," Wakaba said with a smirk
"even with six members, they are a force to be reckoned with" Mira added in with a stern look
"about that Oracion Seis…." Makarov appeared as everyone turns to look at him "we're going to attack them,"
"Master, what do you mean?" Erza asked the old man
"at the regular meeting, we've discussed the recent activity of Oracion Seis and sooner or later a guild will go into battle with them" Makarov explained
"looks like you pulled the short straw again, Gramps" Gray said
"and will Fairy tail be the one to take the role?" Juvia asked
"no, the enemy this time might prove to be too powerful," Makarov replied as he steps down the stairs "if it were only us, all of the Baram alliance will go after us"
Makarov then stops in front of them. "that's where we came with the solution! To form an alliance of our own!" Makarov said as everyone looks in surprise to his explanation
"an alliance?" they all said confused
Makarov nodded at them. "Fairy Tail, Blue Pegasus, Lamia Scale and Cait Shelter" he named out the guild alliance members. "these four guilds will be the ones to send their members to strike down those bastards!"
"but wait!...these guys only have six people right? How strong are they?!" Lucy thought in horror as she imagines six monsters awaiting them
meanwhile at the Sakura Cave. Natsu walks inside as he finds Ikaruga with their children who are playing around with Ash and Flake's new born hatchlings.
"ah! Papa!" said Haruka and Haruo in unison before the twins ran to their father and hug his legs. Natsu smiled and pat their heads. He looks to Ikaruga who went near as the two shared a kiss before they all settled down together.
Haruka and Haruo played with the wyvern hatchlings as they run around the cave while Ash and Flake watch over them. Natsu and Ikaruga however are sitting on top of the Sakura trees together.
"they said that our previous home decided to extend the decree" said Natsu to Ikaruga who looks a bit confused. "I was confused as to why they wanted to extend the peace between Ishgar…..but i believe that it is for the best interest for both of us" Natsu then looks at Haruka and Haruo as the twins started to get lick on the face by the two wyvern hatchlings. "and for them"
Ikaruga nodded before she placed her hand on top of Natsu's, caressing it gently. The two parents leaned to each other as they watch their children play together.
the next few days pass as we find Natsu, Lucy, Erza, and Gray on their way to the Four Guild Alliance meeting point as they four are chosen as Fairy Tail's representative. Gray sat at the front as he drives the carriage that they are using as transportation while Natsu and the others are at the back.
"why am I participating in this!?" exclaimed Lucy in horror.
"it's a pain in the ass for me too, so stop complaining," Gray said while driving the carriage
"Master chose who would go, don't you think it's best that we be happy with the duty he trusted us?" Erza told Lucy.
"but when it comes to battle, don't you think it is better if it was Gajeel or Juvia?" Lucy said in a doubting voice to herself
"those two had other jobs so, there's no helping it," Gray said to her.
"then what about Mira-san?!" said Lucy, the Majin being far stronger than herself.
"she has her own task" stated Natsu while sitting beside her, the man wearing his cloak while his right-hand holds the scabbard of Chitetsu. The man is chosen to tag along as he is far stronger and is a reliable asset for the alliance. "don't complain"
"but still" said Lucy, not believing that she is strong enough to be in the guild alliance in the first place. She looks a bit down before her eyes caught sight of something moving around in her bag. Lucy went and opened her bag before Kiara's head popped out and surprised the blonde mage. "Kiara!?"
Kiara squealed before she jumps out of Lucy's bag and shakes all her body then jumped up to Natsu's shoulder.
"seems like Kiara got some of Haruka and Haruo's problematic behavior rub on her" said Erza with a sigh as Natsu scratches Kiara's chin, getting a delighted squeal in return.
"it's fine" said Natsu "she has no duties to attend back at Magnolia and her tracking skills are as good as mine. She can help find any of us who got lost in our attack on Oracion Seis."
"I guess so" said Lucy before Kiara hopped to her shoulder and squealed to her.
"I think I see it," Gray said out loud as everyone looks forward and sees a mansion coming into view. "there's the meeting place"
The carriage reached the mansion as everyone got off and went inside.
"This is Master Bob's villa, from Blue Pegasus" Erza explained as Gray's face went blue when they remembered the gay man.
"i-I'm not good with the guy," Gray said with a pale face.
"now, don't go there, he might look that way, but he can give our master a run for his money," Erza said while her face is a tad blue and a bit disgusted.
"I see…" Lucy said, feeling the same as the others.
All the sudden, the room turned dark when a voice suddenly boomed out of nowhere
"the guests have arrived~"
the sounds of a tambourine rang out as spotlights appeared in front of Erza as they can see three figures standing
"sorry to keep you waiting" The figures said as Erza and the others look at them
"we are," the middle figure said as he stepped forward
"the chosen representative" the left figure spoke
"from Blue Pegasus" the right figure spoke
"the Trimens," they all said simultaneously
The lights turned back on as they all see three people wearing suits
"Hibiki of the Hundred Nights" "Eve of the Holy Night" "Ren of the Silent Night" The three people pose to them as Lucy gasp.
"Blue Pegasus' Trimens?! So Cool!" Lucy said with an awed face "and the one called Hibiki, he always at the top in the " I wish he was my boyfriend" rank of the Weekly Sorcerer Magazine!"
Hibiki posed to her with a smile as sparkles fly
"your beauty doesn't do rumored justice," Hibiki said in a pick-up line to her
"pleased to meet you, Titania" Eve greeted Erza with a smile
"come this way" Ren said as he guided Erza to a seat that magically appeared out of nowhere as they even drag Lucy with her. They then started to try swoon Lucy and Erza who kept her cool from trying to punch the three into space.
"what the hell is up with these guys!?" said Gray, annoyed and looking angry. Natsu just stands beside him, silent with his eyes closed.
That all stopped when a voice spoke "guests…..stay where you are"
The voice sends cold shivers to Erza's spine whose face started to go blue.
"what is that smooth and silky voice!?" Lucy said as she felt goosebumps all over her skin.
"it's Ichiya-sama" Ren said as Erza's face went blue
"I-I-Ichiya!?" Erza stuttered in horror
"it has been quite a while, Erza-san" a short man with orange hair and was wearing a white Tuxedo appeared as he did a pose
"I can't believe! That you too are participating!?" Erza exclaimed in shock
"I've longed to see you, My honey!" Ichiya greeted Erza as he did multiple poses and a spin "your one and truly, Ichiya is here! Kirameki"
"My honey?!" Lucy and Gray exclaimed as Erza looks at the man in disgust while shaking in her armor.
"Erza is….?!" Lucy exclaimed
"shaking.?!" Gray finished
"so you were Ichiya-sama's girlfriend?" Hibiki, Ren and Eve said as they kneel to Ichiya before looking to Erza as they bowed to her. "how rude of us!" they apologized to her
"I deny that with all of my strength!" Erza shouted at them.
"clear that away!" exclaimed Ichiya, ordering the Trimens around.
"yes, Aniki!" exclaimed the Triments while taking away the chairs and everything.
"weren't they calling him '-sama'?" said Lucy with a sweatdrop while Kiara squeals on her shoulder.
Gray then stepped forward as he looks at the playboys and their ugly looking leader.
"listen up, you crappy Blue Pegasus' Playboys!" Gray exclaimed as Blue Pegasus looks at him "mind stop making passes to our princesses?!"
"you can go home, the guys" Ichiya said to him as a tick mark appeared on Gray's forehead
"thank you very much for coming" Hibiki and the others said as they bowed to him
"you wanna go!?" Gray exclaimed at them
"try us" Ren taunted
"we're strong, you know" Eve added in.
"stop it" Erza exclaimed and was about to stop them from fighting but failed when Ichiya came sniffing at her back.
Erza shakes in disgust before she grabbed her strength and punches Ichiya away
"Stay away from me!" "Meeen!"
"she fricking did it!" Lucy exclaimed as Ichiya came flying to the door before he was grabbed and frozen by an old friend of Gray's
"this is quite the greeting…..you people think that you're above Lamia Scale?" Lyon Vastia, Gray's old friend appeared
"Lyon?!" Gray exclaimed
"Gray?!" Lyon exclaimed back
Lyon then throws away Ichiya as everyone jumps away from the frozen man
"what the heck you're doing?!" Gray exclaimed at him
"he's the one who came flying at me" Lyon said before another figure appeared as Lucy's eyes widen
"Sherry?!" Lucy exclaimed to see the woman who always proclaims the love
A tensed atmosphere quickly formed as everyone looks tensed
"ENOUGH!" The sound of a big thump could be heard as they all turn to see the Wizard Saint, Rock Iron Jura, appeared
"we have formed an alliance to stop Oracion Seis! This is no time to be fighting amongst each other!" the bald man exclaimed
"Jura-san!" said Lyon with a smile
"Jura?" said Gray.
"that's Lamia Scale's ace, the Rockiron Jura" Hibiki added
"even I've heard of him" Lucy said before Sherry appeared beside her
"so Pegasus has four people and the fairies has three?" said Sherry before Kiara jumps and landed on her head then squeals at her. "ok, four if you count the small…what is she anyway?"
"she's a Pop Fox" said Lucy while grabbing Kiara from Sherry's head. "and it's five. Natsu is with us"
"Natsu? The Salamander?" said Lyon before looking around. "where is he?"
"there" said Gray as he pointed to where Natsu is, the man sitting on a chair by the wall as he just sits there in silence with his eyes closed. "the guy probably got bored with the whole fiasco"
"having him on this mission, might make it too easy, don't you think?" said Sherry, knowing how powerful Natsu is from Galuna Island.
"that is the very reason that he should be joining us" said Lyon while crossing his arms. The Ice Make Mage of Lamia Scale knowing first-hand of what Natsu is capable of. "if Oracion Seis is to be believed as a powerful dark guild that only has six members. We should be fully prepared"
"three guilds have assembled, and the only ones left are the people of Cait Shelter" Jura spoke as he stands in his place
"people? I've heard that there will be only one" Ichiya said while hanging on top of Erza's spear
"one person!?" Erza exclaimed in shock
"wait a minute!" Lucy exclaimed. "they're just sending one person to this mission!? How strong is this person!?"
They then heard the sound of running footsteps coming from outside as they turn to see a blue hair girl falling to the floor clumsily in front of the door.
"ow" the blue hair girl got up and brushed off some dust on her dress "um? my name is Wendy Marvel, I'm the representative from Cait Shelter, it's nice to meet you all" the girl name Wendy greeted them timidly.
"a girl?" "a little girl?" Jura looks to her before looking back to the others
"with this, all 4 guilds have assembled," he said as Gray and Lucy sweat drops
"you're just continuing like that?" they said,
Natsu glance at Wendy as the little girl timidly stands in front of everyone, his eyes held some curiosity to her before they close up.
"but seriously…..sending one little girl to this dangerous mission? What on earth are the people from Cait Shelter thinking?" Sherry said before hearing another voice speaking
"oh? but she is with someone, Ms. Too Much Makeup" everyone turns to the door and spotted a white cat in a dress walking on two legs in front of the door
"a cat?" said Lyon with a surprised face
"and it's talking," Lucy added
"now I have seen everything," Gray sighs while putting a hand to his forehead.
"too much makeup? How cruel" Sherry said as Lucy sweat drops to her
"Charla?!" Wendy said in surprise as she sounded like she knew the feline. "you came with me?"
Charla nodded to her "of course, Child! I'm too worried for your sake that I can't just leave you alone!" Charla said to her before seeing Kiara in front of her as the Pop Fox did a squeal. "you…who are you?"
"u-um…" Wendy voice out nervously as she twiddles her thumbs
"I can't fight at all but I can use some support magic to aid everyone, so please…." Wendy said before crying in tears. "don't leave me behind!"
"it's because of that attitude of yours that people can take advantage of you," Charla said while putting her paw to her forehead
"I'm sorry…" Wendy apologizes to her as Charla sighs again
Everyone then started to apologize to Wendy for misjudging her as the first one to apologizes was Erza who Wendy admired with amazement.
"that girl….she has a peculiar perfume" said Ichiya while eying Wendy who is surrounded by the trimens.
"you have noticed it too, Ichiya-dono?" said Jura while looking at Wendy as he sensed something peculiar of the little girl as well.
"everyone is gathered now" said Natsu who walks to the group before stopping nearby them. "start explaining all the information that there is about the Oracion Seis"
"very well" said Ichiya as everyone gathered in a circle while the members of the Blue Pegasus were at front. "we will relay everything that we know of Oracion Seis and our strategy. But first!" Ichiya started to make his way out of the room while heading to a door. "I must visit the perfume of the lavatory"
"just say that you want to go to the toilet!" exclaimed Gray.
After Ichiya came back from the toilet, the plan began.
"north of our current location lies the warth woodlands" said Ichiya, explaining to the group "it is there that a mighty magic was sealed away in ancient times. And its name is 'NIRVANA'!"
"Nirvana?" said Lucy as she and Gray are curious.
"you know of it, Natsu?" asked Erza to Natsu who shakes his head once.
"Jura-san?" said Sherry to Jura.
"I have not known the name at all" replied Jura.
"we know that its destructive power was so great that the people from back then saw fit to seal it away" said Ren, further explaining of what Nirvana is capable of.
"but we don't know exactly what magic it was" added Eve.
"but since Oracion Seis have gathered in Warth woodlands, it is safe to assume that Nirvana is their goal" stated Hibiki, using his magic to show a screen that revealed the location of Warth Woodlands.
"in order to prevent them from obtaining it, we must defeat them now!" stated Ichiya with a serious face.
"we have twelve mages while they have only but six" said Ichiya "we should not be underestimating them as each member of the Oracion Seis are extremely powerful"
Several screens appeared as each one showed the pictures of the six members of Oracion Seis.
"Cobra, the mage who uses Poisonous snakes. Racer, whose name would imply that he uses magic that is related to speed. Hoteye of the Heavenly eyes. Angel, the woman who can see into your heart. Midnight, we don't have much information on this man. and finally their leader, Brain. each of these mages has the power to destroy a guild single-handedly, we must take full advantage of our numerical superiority" explained Hibiki of each member of the Oracion Seis capability.
"um….can I not be counted in the number?" said Lucy with a scared look while raising her right hand up.
"m-me too!" said Wendy while crying.
"stop crying, will you?!" exclaimed Charla while scolding Wendy.
"worry not, our strategy is not limited to simple combat, but rather the important thing of us knowing the location of their base" said Ichiya while posing.
"their base?" said Lyon as Ichiya nodded
"we have yet to confirm if it is true or not but we believe that they have a temporary base in the Warth Woodlands" said Hibiki who showed a screen that revealed a marked location of the Warth Woodlands' map.
"if at all possible, we want to get all six of them together at that base" said Ichiya
"how do we do that?" said Gray.
"and what do we do if we do so?" added Erza.
To everyone's answer, Ichiya lifted a finger up to the ceiling.
"we will use the Pegasus' mighty airship, the Christina! And we will use her power to destroy the Oracion Seis' base!" exclaimed Ichiya.
"a Magical Bomber?!" exclaimed Sherry.
"using a Magical Bomber against just six peoples?! That's crazy!" exclaimed Lucy in surprise.
"that is the nature of our enemy!" exclaimed Jura, surprising Lucy. "take heed that we must not face any of the enemies alone! We must face them in groups of at least two!"
"is that all?" said Natsu as everyone looks at the man. "you are leaving some parts out, aren't you?"
"what do you mean?" said Eve while blinking his eyes once.
"I know a lie when I hear one" said Natsu while hardening his sight on Hibiki who tensed up a bit on the stare. Natsu then looks at Ichiya with his stare turning into a glare. "and I also know of an impostor when I sense one"
"what do y-!?" said Ichiya only to get kicked to the wall by Natsu. "MEN!"
"Teacher!" exclaimed Hibiki and Eve
"what do you think you're doing!?" exclaimed Ren angrily at Natsu who pointed at where Ichiya is.
Everyone looks at Ichiya who has a bloody nose before the man poofs into smoke and two small humanoid figures appeared.
"p-piri! How did you know?!" said the two humanoids figure before Natsu draws out Chitetsu and the katana ignites in flames.
"humans have auras that are naked to their own eyes," said Natsu as his eyes glow red. "but not for mine"
Natsu swung Chitetsu as the katana sends a flaming slash at the two humanoid figures who turned into sparkles.
"to think that the enemy has already infiltrated into our ranks" said Jura with a bead of sweat sliding down the side of his head before he looks at Natsu who sheathed away Chitetsu. "we are very lucky to have Daimou-dono as our ally"
"wait, if that Master Ichiya is a fake…" said Hibiki before looking to Natsu "then where is the real one?!"
"h-here…men" Ichiya came out of the bathroom, beaten up to a pulp.
"ANIKI!" exclaimed the Trimens in shock before they went to help him.
"the enemy know of our plan now," said Natsu before he turns to look at the others. "we must think of a new one"
"easier said than done" said Gray while crossing his arms.
"if the enemy had already infiltrated us, we can already assume that they have a way in listening to our plan already" added Lyon, knowing that any plans of theirs would already be leaked out.
"don't worry" said Natsu before the mansion started to rumble before the entire building got cut in half. "I already made sure that none can hear us"
"t-this is!?" exclaimed Erza as the entire building was cut in half in a diagonal slash. Natsu glance to the side as he sees a shadow fleeing away from the area
"I have the plan, but if we want to succeed in this plan to annihilate Oracion Seis" said Natsu before his eyes glow red and he glares at the Trimens "we should not be keeping secrets of any sort from each other"
The trimens sweated a bit as Natsu's glare is pressuring and terrifying.
Somewhere in Warth Woodlands, the member of Oracion Seis had gathered around as they are making a move towards the location of where Nirvana is.
"I can hear them" said Cobra with an annoyed look "we have some problematic weaklings that are in our way"
"so?" said Racer while having his arms crossed. "we just finish them up quickly"
"we should sell their body for money, right? We can become stronger with money" said Hoteye with a smile.
"shut up, Hoteye" said Cobra and Racer.
"what is taking Angel so long with those maggot's plans?" said Brain while holding his skull staff. "she should've been here by now with the adding of taking out one or two of the maggots"
Upon his words, Angel came running in as she looks a bit distressed.
"took you long enough, Angel" said Racer.
"look at you, so sweating" added Cobra.
"they found out!" exclaimed Angel. "one of them knew of my infiltration into their group!"
"what?" said Brain while looking at Angel who is coming their way.
"They're coming right now!" exclaimed Angel before a red blur zooms right above her.
"what?" said Racer before a hand appeared in front of his face and then grabs him before slamming him down to the ground. "guuh?!"
"what the hell!?" said Cobra in surprise as Racer got pushed down to the ground by Natsu who appeared out of nowhere.
"how did he?!" said Brain as he looks surprised.
"y-you bastard!?" grunted Racer before Natsu grabs the man by the collar and spins him around then throws him away to a tree nearby. "guah!"
Natsu dashed towards Racer as he sends a flying kick right at the man's face, sending Racer flying again before chasing after him.
"Angel! You led them here!?" exclaimed Cobra before his eyes widen and he shouted. "behind you!"
Angel turns around as Erza came flying in while wearing her Heaven Wheel armor.
"Tenrin!" exclaimed Erza while surrounded by her magical swords. "Pentagram Sword!"
"Aaggh!" screamed Angel as she got hit with Erza's attack.
"just how are they raining like money, right?!" said Hoteye before the dark guild group felt the ground shake before stone pillars erupted everywhere.
Brain, Cobra, and Hoteye jumped away to dodge the attack while Midnight sleeps on a floating carpet, the attack didn't even hit him.
Cobra clicked his tongue before he looks to the side and sees Jura with Lyon and Sherry behind him.
"Iron Rock Jura!?" said Cobra before his eyes widen as Natsu appears behind him while holding Chitetsu in a drawing stance. Cobra ducks down as he dodged a slash from the man. "y-you!"
"ho? I am impressed that you managed to dodge that so quickly" said Natsu with a small smirk before the man swings his leg at Cobra who blocked it with his right forearm. "but I am more faster than your friend there"
Racer is by several knocked down trees as he slowly got back up while holding his bruised side.
"b-bastard!" grunted Racer with some blood coming out of the side of his lips. "who is this guy!?"
"could this man be Fairy Tail's Salamander?!" said Brain before he dodged a flying sword from Erza who clicked her tongue once as she soon flies away to dodge a magic blast from Hoteye.
Natsu swung Chitetsu around so fast as Cobra dodge all the attacks but with trouble.
"I can hear this guy's attack but he's too fast!" said Cobra before he jumps away to dodge flying ice eagle sculptures from Lyon. "Tch! We underestimated these maggots!"
"Ice Cannon!" exclaimed Gray as he is on top of a tree and he fired an ice blast at Racer who disappeared and dodge the attack before he reappeared beside Brain.
"hey, Brain! These guys are strong!" said Racer to Brain before he disappears and rushes towards Gray to take him out but Natsu appeared in front of the man and slams his fist right at his gut. "gah!?"
Natsu grabs Racer's head before he sends his knee right at the man's chest, causing air to come out of Racer's lungs. Not being finished with Racer yet, Natsu pulled back his right fist and ignites it in flames before sending a flaming punch right at Racer's right cheek that made the man fly across the field.
Brain growls in annoyance as Natsu sends a glowing glare at the man.
"these maggots wouldn't be a problem for us if this monster didn't come with them!" said Brain before he jumps away to dodge flying rock spears from Jura who swung his hand to the side to summon rock pillars to barrage right at Brain who fired a stream of green flames from his skull staff.
While the group fights. Nearby the area are Hibiki, Eve, Ren, Ichiya, Wendy, Charla, Lucy, and Kiara; all of them behind a large rock while looking at the fight by a screen.
"man, I am glad that I am not the enemy" said Hibiki, seeing on the screen Natsu who deflects Hoteye's eye magic beams with Chitetsu before he dashes towards Cobra who tried to do a sneak attack on Erza.
"I heard rumors of this man once being a member of the Wizard Saint" said Eve, seeing Natsu kicking away Cobra hard before swinging Chitetsu to fire an air slash right at the snake man who dodged with the help of his large purple snake. "to think that he has such strength"
"I'm feeling a bit scared just seeing how he fights" said Ren as Natsu sends a powerful kick right at Hoteye's side. The kick seeming powerful enough to break several ribs in one go.
"M-Men" said Ichiya, not having any words to describe Natsu's skills and powers in battle.
"you could say that again" said Lucy with an awkward smile while carrying Kiara in her arms.
"s-scary" said Wendy while shaking.
"stop shaking!" said Charla while scolding the little girl.
A loud explosion is soon heard as Sherry, and Lyon came flying near the group and crashed to the ground.
"hey! You two alright?!" said Lucy as Lyon got up while grunting.
"y-yeah" said Lyon with a grunt of pain while Sherry slowly sat up.
"t-that Brain person is powerful than the others" added Sherry as everyone looks at Brain who fired streams of green flames at Jura who blocked it with a large stone wall. "Jura-san is giving it his all!"
Nearby, Natsu kicks away Racer who tried to attack from behind before he looks at Brain and Jura, both wizards in a stalemate of power against one another. The salmon haired mage got into a drawing stance as he grips Chitetsu's handle hard before he draws the katana out, unleashing a pressurized air slash that went flying straight for Brain.
Brain saw the attack as it was coming in fast, but the attack was soon canceled by an energy barrier.
"a magic barrier?" said Brain in surprise before a rain of arrows came down upon Natsu and the others.
"enemy reinforcement!?" said Jura while creating a rock wall shade that protected him from the rains of arrows.
Natsu swung Chitetsu once as he unleashed an air gust that blew away some of the arrows before the man catches one and sees the design of the projectile.
"this is!" said Natsu with a hardened gaze as the arrow that he holds in his hand has a metallic crescent-shaped arrowhead that seems to be made out of some sort of glass material that also has a symbol of a serpent dragon that is shaped in a circle while biting its own tail.
"Ice Make! Shield!" said Gray as he creates a shield made out of ice to protect himself against the rains of arrows.
"GRAY! DON'T USE YOUR MAGIC ON THESE ARROWS!" exclaimed Natsu to Gray who looks at him confused before the arrows rains down upon his Ice shield that shatters so fast.
"what!?" exclaimed Gray before his body got cuts all over from the arrows that just strike down endlessly. "gaaah!"
"Gray!" exclaimed Erza as she looks away from her battle against Cobra who smirks before commanding his snake to bite on Erza's right forearm. "aggh!"
"that's what you get for looking away!" said Cobra with a smirk as Cubelios flails Erza around before throwing her away.
Natsu gritted his teeth as he glanced all around the area and spotted several figures hiding in the shadows of the trees.
"Jura! Get everyone to retreat!" exclaimed Natsu to Jura before he cut his forearm with Chitetsu, letting the katana suck in his blood before it transforms demonic. "now!"'
Jura quickly nodded as he ran to grab Gray and Erza before running away while hollering the others to follow behind.
Natsu wielded Chitetsu with both hands before the katana's blade ignites in flames as he soon swung it to the ground, causing an eruption of flames everywhere upon the members of Oracion Seis.
Brain and the others backed away from the erupting flames before seeing Natsu running away to catch up with Jura and the others.
"seems that the pests have retreated" said Brain, seeing their foe's retreat.
"yeah" said Cobra while placing a hand to his snake's head. "lucky us"
"did we have reinforcement nearby?" asked Racer while holding his bruised right arm that is the result of his fight against Natsu.
"did we spend money for the reinforcement, right?!" said Hoteye.
"if anything, I'm glad that we had reinforcement," said Angel while holding one of the arrows that rained down on Natsu and the others. "but who uses these types of arrows? It has a weird arrowhead too"
"those are not normally shaped arrowhead found upon Fiore" said Brain eying the arrowhead.
Cobra looks around as his ears picked up footsteps nearby.
"who goes there!?" said Cobra as he turns to behind the group where a shadowed figure appeared out of nowhere.
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
