Phantom Witch Meets the Destroying Fairy
It's been one month since Nine and Natsu joined Fairy Tail and have done many fun stuff together like Natsu being able to hang out with some of the little kids around his age, he seems to be getting along with them well though he and Gray always get into fights and Erza her best to stop them. Of course, she doesn't be forceful as she usually or else she'll face Nine's anger again then there's Mira who always mock Erza because of this and the two get into fights too also because they're rivals as well. Nine is sitting close by seeing Natsu getting along with the others in the guild so far while enjoying a nice drink of her own, she admits that this guild is crazy, but it does have its own charm that make this place feel like home and gotten use to the fighting part.
"Hey mom, want to go on a job today?" Natsu asked as he holds a piece of paper.
"Uh, you got that from the job request board?" Nine asked as she takes the paper. The job about taking down a big worm that's been causing problems for farmers.
"Hmm, dealing with something like doesn't sound much effort, but I guess it would be good exercise to train your magic." Nine agreed to go.
"Awesome!" Natsu excited.
"Just be careful not scare the locals too much like the last job you went on." Wakaba warned.
"Hey, I caught the bandits and got the whole reward money." Nine stated.
"Yeah, and more of it when the mayor paid you not to come to his town again after showing off that crazy magic of yours." Macao reminded her of that.
"I was told that we shouldn't back our magic." Nine muttered before getting up from her sit and finishing her tea.
"Come on, Natsu." Nine walked away to get permission for the request.
"Hey, Natsu?" Lisanna walked up to him.
"Hey Lisanna, what's up?" Natsu asked.
"I was wondering if I could go with you and your mom on the job?" Lisanna asked.
"Really, you want to see my mom in action!" Natsu surprised a little.
"Yeah, I heard some stories of Nine from the jobs she done in the past month calling her a scary witch, but I just want to see how strong she is." Lisanna explained.
"We'll have to ask my mom if that's okay, but I'm sure she wouldn't mind bringing you along." Natsu said.
"Oh yeah, what about your siblings? Are they okay with this?" Natsu asked.
"Don't worry, Elfman is okay with this though it took some convincing to Mira about letting me go with you guys. Mira said that if anything were to happen to me on your watch then she would sent you to Hell or something like that." Lisanna answered. Natsu look past Lisanna seeing Mira giving him a scary glare that send a little shiver down his spine.
"Hey Natsu, looks like we're good to go." Nine said.
"Hey mom, Lisanna said she wants to come with us on the job. Can she?" Natsu asked as Nine look at Lisanna.
"Hmm, I'm not sure… this job is a little dangerous." Nine said.
"Don't worry, Miss Nine, I can protect with my Take Over Magic: Animal Soul." Lisanna transformed into a cat.
"See, if the job is too much I'll go and hide somewhere." Lisanna pointed out that she already thought of this through.
"Okay, you seem like a smart girl. Very well, you can come with us." Nine nodded.
"Thank you, I promise I won't let you down!" Lisanna promised after transforming back to her human form.
(Later)
"AAAAAAHHHHHH?!" Lisanna screamed in her cat form as she runs away from the big worm, they came for though the worm is bigger than the job described as the worm is bigger than a house.
The worm even has razor sharp teeth, which is weird to some as normal worms don't even have teeth.
"Hang on, Lisanna!" Natsu jumped to the side of the big worm.
"Fire Dragon Iron Fist" Natsu punched a fire-fist to the worm making it stop for a moment enough for Lisanna make her way to Nine.
"Nice job, Natsu, focus your magic on a single point." Nine called out.
"Wow, Natsu is strong!" Lisanna amazed.
"Yeah, I've been helping him with his physical strength to work with his magic. I also think you need some training too and find yourself stronger animal souls." Nine suggested to Lisanna about her magic.
"Yeah, I kinda figure that." Lisanna chuckled.
They heard Natsu screaming a bit as they turn around to see him riding on the back of the big worm as it tries to wiggle its body wildly to get the little pink-haired boy off, but Natsu to keep himself on with a strong grip and his finger being consume in his fire magic.
"I think it's time we finish this. Lisanna, go get Natsu and I'll finish it off." Nine ordered.
"Okay, I'll try my best." Lisanna nodded before transforming into a bird and flew to Natsu.
It was difficult for Lisanna to get Natsu considering how much the big worm is moving, but she manage to grab Natsu's arms with her bird feet and flew away from the big worm.
"Okay, I got him!" Lisanna called out to Nine.
Nine nod and hold out her hand toward the big worm, a magic circle appears under it and chain made of lightning wrapping around the worm to keep it from moving then snaps her fingers to make the lightning chains zap the worm with powerful electric shocks causing the worm to screech in pain for a few seconds until the shock stops. The worm is silent for its dead and the body is burn as well.
"Wow, that was super-amazing!" Lisanna commented.
"It was nothing, now let get this worm to the mayor for the reward and head back." Nine suggested as she uses levitating magic to lift the worm in the air.
"Your mom is really awesome!" Lisanna complimented.
"I know, and some day I'm going to get stronger and beat her in a fight!" Natsu declared.
(Fairy Tail Guildhall)
"I see, so the job went well?" Makarov asked after hearing about the worm job from Nine.
"Yeah, the worm wasn't a big deal, but it was a good workout for Natsu and an experience for Lisanna to improve." Nine said.
"At least there wasn't any damages this time too, we've been getting complains of the damages some of the others do on jobs." Makarov sighed thinking of all the complains and scolding he gets from the Magic Council.
"You know, Nine, you and Natsu have only been in this guild for a month and you've already gotten yourself a reputation of being a strong wizard with powerful magic." Makarov mentioned.
"Really, back in my old world was known for being a strong mage though when I was under the bastards' control, I was under a different name at the time. Being called Phantom." Nine recalled as she clenches her fist.
"Phantom? I think that would be a good name for you, the "Fairy Phantom" or the "Phantom Witch-Fairy" whichever sounds better." Makarov said wanting to cheer Nine up.
"I'm not so sure about that, but I think would be nice to use that name for good." Nine chuckled.
"Master?! Master?!" Macao and Wakaba barged in the office panicking for some reason.
"What's wrong, boys?" Makarov asked.
"It's him, Master. He's finally home, Gildarts is coming back!" Macao reported smiling.
"Oh, he's back! Then we must welcome him home." Makarov excited.
"Wait, who's Gildarts?" Nine confused as she can sense a powerful magic presence coming here.
"Gildart is also a Fairy Tail wizard, but our most powerful wizard and an S-Rank." Makarov answered shocking Nine.
Then they felt something happening outside, Nine and Natsu became utterly shock that the whole city is changing into a giant single road and no one is freaking out over this.
"What the hell happened?" Nine asked.
"Well, you see, Gildarts has a powerful magic that can destroy anything he gets into contact and it's a little hard to control even for him. So, the city was made like this whenever Gildart comes back and he doesn't destroy the buildings." Wakaba explained.
"(A magic that can destroy anything, sounds interesting.)" Nine thought.
"Look, there he is!" A mage pointed at the man walking to them.
He's a tall, muscular man with shoulder-length orange hair that is slicked back and a stubbly beard, and dark green eyes. He wears a long, black, high-collared and tattered cloak with shoulder plates; around his waist is a simple belt. He also wear loose-fitting dark pants, complete with an armored waist-guard bearing plates similar to the ones on his shoulders, tucked inside simple boots.
The man known as Gildarts walk into the guildhall and look at everyone with a cocky smile.
"Hey everyone, I'm home!" Gildarts greeted and everyone cheers as they greet the man of the hour.
"Hello Gildarts, welcome home." Makarov greeted as he sits at the bar.
"Hey Master, I finished the job though I got to be honest it was tough." Gildarts said.
"As long as you're well, that's all that matter." Makarov nodded.
"Hey, did the guild get new members while I was gone? I think I see there are some new people here." Gildarts looked around at the mages hanging out.
"Yes, we actually got two new members last month." Makarov informed.
"Nine! Natsu! Come over here and meet Gildarts!" Makarov called out and the two came.
"Hello, you must be Gildarts I heard about just now." Nine greeted.
"Well, hello beautiful, you're certainly a fine pick this season!" Gildarts flirted and suddenly got slap in the face by Nine.
"And now I see you're also a pervert." Nine annoyed.
"Hey, I was just hello." Gildarts winced a bit.
"My name is Natsu Dragneel!" Natsu greeted.
"Oh, well, aren't you young and I can tell you're strong too." Gildarts commented.
"Don't even think about rubbing your pervert on my son." Nine pulled Natsu away from the man.
"Huh, he's your son?" Gildarts surprised.
"Adopted, but still his mom. I'm Nine Dragneel." Nine introduced herself and using Natsu's last name.
"I see, you two must really care for each other. I hope you have a good time here in Fairy Tail." Gildarts said softly and leans a little closer to Nine.
"And… if you feel like having a drink together, alone, I know a good place with great booze." Gildarts winked making Nine getting ticked by this.
"Back off, you perv!" Nine shouted as she summons lightning to strike down at Gildarts who saw this, and the lightning hit him.
Or at least that what she thinks.
To her surprise, the lightning shattered away with Gildarts standing not having a single scratch or tiny burns on him at all with one arm raise up.
"Man, that was some fierce magic you just did." Gildarts commented.
"Whoa, he survived mom's attack?!" Natsu gasped.
"No, he survived… he completely destroyed my spell. A form of destruction magic." Nine figured out.
"You're a smart one. That's right, my magic is known as Crush Magic that allows me smashes everything I comes into contact with into pieces. It works pretty well against magic powers as well as on objects too." Gildarts explained.
"I see, and I can tell you have good reaction time otherwise you would have never been able to stop my lightning." Nine commented.
"Well, I have been training myself to become stronger in order to protect what's precious to me like this guild." Gildarts said.
"That's quite a bold claim, I wonder if you can really back it up?" Nine powered her up magic like she did before though a little higher this time as Gildarts also starts to increase his magic power too to show her that he's not all talk.
Their magic powers increasing and clashing toward each other have cause the entire guild to shake like a fierce earthquake as the other guild mages are sweating a lot and shaking in fear as they can feel the insane magic power the two are giving off at the same time and cracks appear around them with tiny pieces of wood from the floor raises up.
"Whoa, I was right that Nine's power would match up to Gildarts!" Wakaba worried.
"AAAAHHH?! If they fight right here and now, the whole guild will be destroyed!" Macao panicked.
"Come on, mom! Show that old man who's boss!" Natsu cheered.
Nine slow starts to raise one hand while Gildarts clenches his fists ready for the fight that's about to happen, their magic auras are also making them look dark except for the red glowing reds from Gildarts and yellow glowing eyes from Nine, as they're about to unleash their power.
"That's enough!" Makarov karate chopped both adults on the head with his enlarge hands stopping them from fighting which stop the shaking and their intense aura.
"Ow!" Nine and Gildarts winced.
"If you two are going to fight, do it outside! I don't want to be Master of a destroyed guildhall, got it?" Makarov shouted in rage at the two.
"Got it?" Nine and Gildarts said at the same time.
"Aw, does that mean we're not gonna get a big fight?" Natsu asked disappointed that he couldn't see his mom fight the strong man.
"Maybe another time, Natsu, right now I think it's time for us for go home for today." Nine said as she pats on Natsu's head.
"Hey Nine, it was really nice to meet a new member of Fairy Tai. I hope we can get along." Gildarts offered his hand of friendship to Nine.
"I'll admit, you're a strong man with a good heart, but you need to work on that pervert side of yours or no woman would ever take you seriously." Nine advised.
"I'll try though there was only one woman in my life, but we divorced since I've always been gone from the guild because of the jobs I do. Even so, I still loved her." Gildarts mentioned about the woman he loved a long time ago.
"Interesting to hear, hope to see you around, Gildarts." Nine walked as Natsu follows her.
"By old guy, hope I get to fight you." Natsu said.
"You know, Master, I think so two are definitely going to make Fairy Tail greater than ever before." Gildarts believed as he sit next to Makarov.
"I was thinking the same thing and considering the power Nine displayed being equal to yours perhaps I could make her an S-Class wizard." Makarov said.
"How about doing that at the S-Class trail, I'm actually curious to see how strong that sexy woman is." Gildarts smirked.
"Yes, I think that would be better." Makarov nodded.
"So, how long are you going to be here this time?" Makarov asked.
"As I said earlier the job was tough as it took me three years to completely, so I think I'll stay around for a month or less." Gildarts answered before their drinks arrive and the two started drinking together.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
Well, Nine got to meet the mighty Gildarts the strongest wizard of Fairy Tail and was this close to getting into an epic fight with him until Makarov butted in stopping the fight before it could even start, but don't worry we'll be seeing that soon. Nine is really starting to make herself a little famous within Fairy Tail and later the whole country will know the name of Nine Dragneel, the Phantom Witch of Fairy Tail!
