Hey, fairy tail fans, we're here with the next arc in a fairy tail re-told. I've appropriately named this one in my head fairy tail: the phantom lord(don't judge). This is the second to last part of my Origin of Fairy Tail arc. Also, you know what the arc is about.
What do you say we get started?
Natsu, Happy, Lucy, who was holding Plue in her hands, and Gray walked through the streets of Magnolia." Was that an excellent job or what," Natsu asked, laughing.
"the client sure did," Happy answered.
"you guys are just lucky that I decided to come along," Gray said.
"We're lucky that you begged to come with us," Natsu told him, getting a groan from Gray. "How do you figure."
"cause you were about as useful as one of Lucy's suitcases," Gray told him before Natsu slammed his face against this.
"You better watch your mouth, or I'll pack you like a suitcase," Natsu told him.
"that doesn't even make sense," Gray shot back before Lucy separated them. "That's enough," she told them, "and get dressed."
Gray looked down to notice he was in his underwear and started panicking. "Why is this happening to me," he shouted.
Enter: The Phantom Lord
"Hey, Natsu," Lucy asked as she dragged him away from Gray, who was looking for his clothes. "I know, this is out of nowhere but."
"if this is about Erza, then no," Natsu said. "She's made her point on me perfectly clear," he said, "and I'm not wasting my time on a coward like her."
"Okay, noted," Lucy whispered, "but tell me what happened."
"Lucy," Natsu said again
"Okay, I'm pushing, sorry," Lucy said
"Wonder what they're on about," Gray asked as he found his clothes. The group started to move again, but people looked at them sorrowfully as they drove through the town.
"look, it's Natsu."
"They must not know yet."
"he's going to be pissed."
"I feel so bad for them."
"Hey, is everybody staring at us," Gray asked.
"It's not a good kind of staring," Happy stated.
"It's almost like looks of pity," Lucy said before she bumped into Natsu. "Natsu, what-" she stopped her sentence dead in its tracks when she saw the fairy pub in ruins, metal beams stuck out of all sides, wood lying everywhere, and the sign broken and fallen.
"who. Did. this." Natsu growled,
"it was Phantom," a voice called. It turned out to be Mira. "They got us good," she told them.
Below the fairy, the pub's a storage area for all its supplies, but now it is placed to mend the wizard's broken spirits. Mira led the group down as everyone faced Natsu.
"When did this happen," Natsu asked.
"Last night," Mira told him, "we were lucky that we closed Earlier than normal," she told him, "and Mavis is out of time for the time being," she said. "She managed to get a thought projection here, though
"Natsu," Mavis said, "how'd the job go."
"How are you just sitting here, doing nothing?" Natsu started.
"You know we have to avoid contact," Mavis told him."if anything, it's just Phantom trying to intimidate us," she explained, "nothing to worry about. So we shouldn't trouble ourselves with this matter," Mavis ordered, "but I want you two on high alert." she sighed. "Laki reported that Phantom has been mobilizing their guilds; whatever they do, it must be big."
"Alright, master," Mira said
"leave it to us, Ma," Natsu said, giving a thumbs up. Mavis smiled before the thought projection vanished, leaving them alone as Natsu and Mira traded nervous glances as Gray approached them.
"So, what now," Gray asked."we're going to retaliate, right,"
"No," Natsu told them, "hopefully, this all blows over.
"but"
"Mavis said not to, so that's what we're going to do." Natsu told them, "I don't like it either, but she's made her choice."
Nasu turned to Cana, who was messing with her cards, and said, "Think you can contact Mystogen."
"I'll try, but no promises," Cana said. "Tell me how worried I should be."
"no idea," Natsu said. "Hopefully, Mavis gets back before anything goes wrong."
Later that night, Lucy walked home with plue ."This a lousy mess we got ourselves in, plue. I can't believe Phantom would do something like this," Lucy said as she reached home. "I almost thought of joining them before I met Natsu and Happy." Lucy opened the door, smiling. "but now I'm glad I came here. I've made friends who I trust with my life," she said as she turned on the light to find Natsu, Happy, Mira, and Gray sitting at the table in the room. "who enters a home without asking first!" Lucy shouted before throwing something at Natsu, "Why are you here."
"Well, I wanted Natsu, and I should stick in town, "Ezra told her, "so I decided to come here."
"and she dragged me here too," Gray said, already in his underwear.
"So, is it that bad," Lucy asked.
"not too bad, but we are on our guard," Natsu informed her.
"Woah, you sure have a lot of dirty clothes," Happy called out as he and Plue started going through Lucy's stuff.
"you two, stop that, or you're both dead meat!" Lucy shouted.
"You found something to eat, plue," Natsu shouted, "don't go hogging it all."
"ah-ha."
"Hey, Mira, I found some frilly panties you might like," Happy said.
"I can't believe you wear this, Lucy." Her face was redder than her hair as she held the super-thin underwear.
"You guys are taking the whole make yourself at home thing a little far," Lucy muttered. "fine, you guys can stay, but I expect hygiene."
"I have good hygiene," Natsu retorted. "I live with two girls already," Natsu shouted.
"as long as you don't mind Ice baths," Gray said.
"wait, why Ice baths," Lucy asked.
"They are relaxing," Gray told her.
Lucy let out a sigh as Happy started laughing. "Just be sure to go before Natsu then," Lucy told him.
Levy, Jet, and Droy walked through the empty streets in another part of town. "Are you sure you're all right with this, Levy?" Jet asked.
"Yeah," Droy asked, "shouldn't you be at the dorm."
"Yeah, but I didn't want to separate our team," Levy said, causing the two men to blush above them. A shadowy figure watched as they looked near an ally before jumping down and attacking them.
Lucy sat in her warm bath 'maybe I should get an apartment,' Lucy thought to herself 'I mean, I have money now," she smiled. "Huh, money. I wonder how things are back home,' sighed 'I bet they don't miss me at all she shook it off as she got out; she walked out to see Natsu sleeping and Gray reading on the bed.
"I see you guys are enjoying yourselves," Lucy muttered.
"Yes, actually," Mira told her. "I can't remember the last time I was this relaxed."
"Glad you feel at home," Lucy exaggerated.
Later, the group sat at the large table discussing the matter, " So, any idea why Phantom attacked out of the blue."
"No," Natsu answered, sitting up, "wizards around here have their fair share of run-ins with them," Natsu said, "but they've never been so bold."
"You don't seem worried," Gray asked.
"yeah, as long as we have Mavis around, we should be fine," Natsu told her.
"you're kidding, right," Gray said, looking away from the papers he was reading. "Phantom's master is one of the ten wizards' saints."
"I know," Natsu told him, "but Mavis has more power than him in her pinkie finger."
"I never said you could read that," Lucy shouted as she took the papers away from Gray. "Gimme."
"you can't take that away," Gray said, "not without telling me what happens next," he asked.
"wait," Lucy interrupted, "what's a wizard saint?
"it's a title granted by the magic council," Mira told her, "it's a coveted title held by the ten most powerful wizards on the continent."
"Woah," Lucy muttered.
"That and Phantom's overwhelming strength is not a laughing matter," Mira said, "They're the strongest guild in all of Ishgar,"
"True," Natsu admitted, "we could hold our own," Natsu informed her, "we have procedures for this, don't worry."
"I just hope you're right," Gray told him. "from what I hear, Their elite group is just as strong as their master, known as the element four," Erza said, "but the biggest threat is Blacksteel Gajeel."
"I've heard about him," Lucy said. She stopped as Natsu and Mira shared a look. It was clear they knew something about "what."
"This Gajeel," Natsu muttered "he's the Iron Dragon slayer
"What?" Lucy shouted. "I thought you were the only one," she said, scared. "Wait," Lucy asked, "so does that mean he eats Iron?"
Meanwhile, at the Phantom Lord guild, the man known as Gajeel sat at a table eating Iron as someone asked him about his attack. "So how was it, man? I wish I could have seen their faces." Before the man could finish, a large club hit him in the face, knocking him out.
"How many times I gotta tell ya"? Gajeel's voice was annoyed as his arm reverted to normal ."I don't like to be bothered while I'm eating." This got a laugh from his guildmates as their master appeared above the hem.
"the die has been cast," he said as he looked down. "I commend your excellent work, Gajeel." His voice was dark, as no light shone on his face.
"I also left them with a present," Gajeel told him, an evil smile creeping on his face. "a way to get those puny wizards' panties really in a knot."
"As long as no harm came to that, do as you please," he stated as Gajeel grew an even more giant smile.
People gathered at the Magnolia South Gate Park, looking in horror at the sight before them. Natsu and Mira pushed through the crowd, followed by Lucy and Gray. When they reached their target, they were horrified to see Levy, Jet, and Droy all hung to the tree, clothes torn and bruised with the Phantom guild mark painted on their stomachs.
"Levy," Luy cried.
"Jet, Droy"
Natsu was fuming; veins popped on his head as the ground broke beneath him. "Mira," he muttered; the girl looked at him with eyes and nodded understanding.
"We can ignore our home getting destroyed," Natsu said, "but we won't ignore them attacking our friends." Natsu looked up. "This. Means. war."
Lucy watched as Levy, Jet, and Droy were moved to the Magnolia hospital, a place specially equipped to deal with wizards.
"I can't believe Phantom would do this," Lucy thought as she watched her friend lie on the bed.
Flashback
"So, Lucy," Levy asked as she slid beside Lucy, sitting by herself, "Word is your writing novel.
"huh," Lucy asked.
"I heard Natsu mumble about it," Levy said.
"I should have known," Lucy said, sighing.
"Oh yeah, you may not remember me, but I'm Levy Mcgarden," she told her, "and my friend in the house is Jet and the other Droy."
"Hey there."
"Wow, you're pretty."
"oh yeah, I remember you," Lucy told her, "we meet at the job request board."
"I'm a horrible writer," Levy told the celestial wizard, "but I love to read; I think I could read your novel sometime."
Lucy blushed as she pressed her fingers together. " Well, I wasn't planning on anybody reading it."
"Why," Jet asked, "You wrote it right, so why not let people read it."
"You know they say being a writer is like showing you but to the world," Droy said, causing Lucy to blush.
"don't get embarrassed, Lucy," Levy told the girl, "but please let me read it," Levy asked with a cute smile, "and I'm not talking about you, so don't get any weird ideas," she told her quickly, "but the boys might want to see it through."
"well, it's not finished yet," Lucy admitted.
"Well, let me be the first to read it," Levy told her.
"all right"
End Flashback
Lucy gave a weak smile as she watched her friend rest. 'And just the other day, she worked hard to help us.' Lucy thought of the body-switching incident where Levy worked to get everyone back into their correct bodies. 'There going. To pay.'
The oak town lies in the northern part of the Fiore kingdom, home to many historic buildings, but towering above them is a massive branch of the Phantom Lord guild. Inside, three members walk away smiling. "Looks like Gajeel started a war. We need to hurry up and cash in on this-" Before the man could finish, the doors were blown open, reveling Natsu, Happy, Elfman, Gray, Loke, Alzack, Bisca, Macao, Wakaba, Reedus, and Laki.
[##Salamnder theme##]
"Knock, Knock!" Natsu shouted as he and his group attacked the Phantom Lord members.
"{Purple Net}," Macao shouted, catching several members off guard as Wakaba came from behind and hit them with his smoke magic.
Alzack shot several members down with his stun shot while Bisca sniped from a distance.
Several Members went for Natsu, who blew them away with his fire. "That guy is insane," one of the members shouted as they backed off. "It's a monster," he called as Erza blasted through all the swordsmen in the guild without effort.
"These spells," one guy shouted, "they're strong."
"Picto magic," Reedus shouted as his painting came to life and attacked several members. Lake stood behind him"{Wood-Make: The Dam of Shy Love}. Multiple weapon-shaped blocks of wood erupt from the ground and attack several members.
"what the hell?" someone shouted.
"Get the cat," they called, "piece of cake."
"oh yeah," Happy muttered, "you forgot," Happy shouted as he attacked them with different types of foods." I'm a wizard too." he then stood on top of a pile of bodies with a large watermelon in hand. "you got a problem with cats."
"of course not, sir," the men said in fear.
"Where's your master?" Natsu shouted as he tore through the members. "You punks aren't a challenge."
Above them stood Gajeel. "Ah, so the Salamander in the flesh," he said with a smile, "this just keeps getting better," a smirk grew on Gajeel's face. "They're pretty good fighters for a bunch of scumbags."
Back in Magnolia, Lucy walked the empty streets, disappointed that she had to stay behind. "I can't believe they took off without me," Lucy muttered, "but I guess someone needs to take care of Levy," she said as it started raining. "Huh, the sun was just out."
[##org. Juvia theme##]
Lucy then looked to see a woman with blue hair walk past her, "um, who are you," Lucy asked.
"Drip. Drip. Drop." she answered. "Juvia is the rain woman, and what kind of woman are you."
"the normal kind, I guess," Lucy said as Juvia walked past her as she opened an umbrella.
"Non-Non," the earth then started to grow as a man appeared from it, "greeting meme (did I spell that right? I'm not French), "my dear Juvia, you must not shy away from the task at hand."
"No Misour soul," Juvia replied.
"My monocle whispers to me many things," he said, "it tells me that the madame here is our sought-after cible."
"cible," Lucy whispered, "that means target". Lucy reached for her gate. Kkeysand started to back up.
"ah, pardon Moi," sol said. "I have not told you my name; I am Sol of element four."
"I know of you," Lucy said, backing up further, "you're with Phantom."
"Correct," Sol said, "we've been sent to collect you and bring you back to the guild at once."
"My companion and friend," Sol said, pointing to Juvia, "is a rain woman who is also part of the element four, Juvia of the great sea."
"You attacked my friends," Lucy shouted, trying to grab her keys, but she was stopped when a water bubble surrounded her.
"au contraire, Miss Moselle," Sol told her, " that honor goes solely to Gajeel, but we were with him in spirit, as the saying goes."
"Why are you doing this?" Lucy shouted as she reached for the Aquarius key; it glowed, but before Lucy could open it, Juvia's water knocked it out of her hand.
"let me out!" Lucy shouted as she started losing consciousness.
"It's pointless," Juvia told her. "No one can escape from my water lock."
Lucy then stopped struggling as his body went limp. "Do not worry. We're not going to kill," Juvia told her, "you were the target for our retrieval mission from the master," Juvia informed the girl as she closed her eyes. Juvia sighed as she released the water lock, and Lucy landed on the ground.
"Lucy Heartfilia."
[##Salamder theme##]
Back in Oak Town, the battle raged on neither side, giving in. "How do you like this," a bunch of Fire wizards shot magic at Laki, whom Natsu pushed out of the way. Soon, slurping could be heard as he ate their fire.
"No way."
"he can't be."
As Natsu finished, a grin grew on his face. "Now I got a fire in my belly," Natsu said, "{Fire Dragons: Roar}," Natsu shouted, blasting them away with his intense heat.
"{Ice make: Lance}," Gray shouted as he froze the wizards. Natsu hit Erza, appeared behind the two in her black night wing armor, and cut them down.
"{Wood-Make: The Distance between the Two is Forever:}"multiple giant hands and feet made of wood shoot from the ground,
"Guns Magic," Alzack shouted, "{mud shot}" he covered a group in mud while Bisca ran in behind his "requip." She changed her weapon into a shotgun: "{multiple shot."
Natsu and Gray stood back-to-back as they took on all the guild members, "you're not doing too bad for a snowman."
"you neither, for a pyro," Gray told him as the others were surrounded, "got 'em right where we want 'em."
On the top floor, a man smirked, "there's no way a group of wizards could be this organized," he told him, "It looks like it's time to put the plan in full swing, Gajeel."
Gajeel smirked from where he stood as he looked down at all the fighting. "It looks like it's my turn." He jumped down, ready to give the wizards the fight of their lives.
To be continued
I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. The next one should be up tomorrow if I'm Lucky; I want to apologize about Mister Sol. I couldn't get him the way he was in the show, but the details.
Happy: Natsu, we forgot Lucy.
Natsu: aw man, she's going to be mad; we better bring her a gift.
Happy: what kind of gift though
Natsu: Maybe a skull or something. I don't know.
Next time: Lucy Heartfilia
Natsu: Man, I hope she isn't too mad.
Happy: Yeah, me too
