Harry looked down to see that Natsu is looking a bit sick thanks to the guild hall moving. Totomaru laughed at the pink-haired dragon slayer before sending a rainbow of flames at him. Harry whipped his head over to his familiar.
"Fawkes!" this is all he had to say for the phoenix to understand what he wanted. Fawkes flew off of Harry's shoulder and blocked the attack. Although, now that Harry is no longer panicking he wonders why he had the attacked blocked in the first place; fire doesn't bother Natsu after all. Shrugging his shoulders for the time being, Harry lifts his wand and says, "Jet Aquae!" A jet of high pressured water shot out of the elder wand and slammed into Totomaru, who is now firmly planted into the wall.
'See how he likes being in the wall, even though I went through the darn thing,' Harry said to himself mentally. He jumped down from his hole in the wall, and aimed his wand at the fire mage of Phantom Lord.
Totomaru got out of the crater and glared at him. "That was a cheap shot…" the duel colored-haired mage said.
Harry smirked. "Says the guy that sent our attacks right back at us before we even knew about you being here," he said. "If you ask me, that's even more of a cheap shot. So I guess we're even."
Totomaru brings out more flames to send at Harry, but before he could let them fly he is covered in ice. "What's going on?!" Totomaru said a bit comically in shock. Harry was a bit surprised too, but then he saw Elfman come in and grab the fire mage with a beast-like arm and threw him through a wall and far away to who knows where.
"Wow Natsu, you look pathetic," Harry heard Gray's voice say before looking over to see him.
"Hey, Gray. How is everything going out there?" he asked.
"Crazy would be putting it lightly. The guild turned into a giant robot-looking thing," Gray answered. "We would have been here sooner, if it weren't for having to bypass some shades that were persistent."
"Giant…robot…?" Harry muttered in confusion, questioning if that was even possible for the guild to do that. But then again, it was able to walk, so he guessed it was. After this thought, Harry noticed the guild has stopped moving.
"Finally!" Natsu exclaimed happily with a little flame coming out of his mouth.
"It didn't last that long, flame brain," Gray said with a sly smirk.
"Shut up, ice queen!" Natsu returned in favor.
{Do you think that was an upgrade from ice princess?} Fawkes wondered. Harry just shrugged in answer.
Happy flew over to all of them and said, "I'm going to outside to see why the guild hall stopped moving."
{I'll come along.} Fawkes followed the blue cat out through one of the holes that had been created.
Harry turned to Gray. "Why are you guys here?" he asked.
"We weren't just going to let you guys have all the fun, so we came here to get in on the action," Gray answered, and Harry noticed that his shirt is off. He pointed it out to the teenager, who looked shocked, grabbed his shirt, and put it back on.
"A real man searches for a real fight!" Elfman claimed while striking a pose that show off his arms.
"It sounds like you got bored with fighting weak shades to me," Harry pointed out, and he knows he's right. All he would have done, if he was them, was just sit there while his silver stag did all of the work. "Anyway, why didn't Erza come with you?"
"She said that she'll be here once things are in control over there," Gray said.
"That could take a while," Harry and Natsu said in unison.
"Guys!" Happy shouted, sounding panicked, while flying back into the guild with Fawkes closely behind. "The giant is drawing a magic circle! It's huge!" he continued to panic.
"Okay, I'm willing to believe a lot of thing, but a guild hall being able to do magic sounds a bit too much," Harry said, but he couldn't help but feel that there was a building that was similar to this. He just can't remember what.
"It's true! I heard the others say that the magic is going to take out everything all the way to Caldia Cathedral!" Happy said.
"That's half the town!" Both Harry and Gray shouted in shock.
"What kind of magic could do that?!" Natsu questioned.
"Okay, let's calm down," Harry said. "The magic is being powered up by the building, right?" The others nodded their head. "So, it has to be powered by something within the building. Buildings can't do magic. There might be another lacrima somewhere. Or it could even be powered up by some of the mages here," he suggested.
"Harry's got a point," Elfman said.
"Let's split up!" Natsu said, already running off with Happy following.
"If we split up we'll find the source to this guild's power faster!" Gray said while going down a different path.
"It's just one crazy thing after another," Elfman said while running off as well.
"When you find the source, blow it up!" Harry called out while having Fawkes fly him up through the hole that they created during Natsu's fight with Totomaru, and took off running down the hallway to look for what's powering this thing.
Harry was running down a different hallway than the one he started in. He still didn't find any clues as to where the magic is coming from. He stops and looks outside to the giant's finger that is drawing the magic circle.
"Do you think there is a lacrima in the hand?" Harry asked Fawkes, who was flying next to him while he was running, but now he's on his shoulder.
{Maybe… I really don't know though. I may be able to sense life energy, but magic from objects, not so much,} Fawkes replied.
Harry looks to where he might have to go to get to the hand, but he hasn't the faintest idea. He'll just start with going in the direction as the hand is for the time being. He turned and kept on running. In a few minutes, while running past a window, he and Fawkes heard Lucy's voice, but when they looked out, they noticed that it was just Mira using her transformation magic.
"I'm the one you want, aren't I?! I'll go with you, so stop attacking the guild!" She demanded. Harry watched on in silence, and so did everyone else.
"Disappear, you little imposter," Jose's snarling voice said over the loud speaker. Harry was in shock that Jose was able to tell that Mira wasn't Lucy from so far away, but he guessed that the guy wasn't one of the ten wizard saints for nothing. "Did you really think that I didn't know that Lucy wasn't there? I knew from the very start that she wasn't! There's no way that the person who was targeted would be sent to the front line."
Harry was snapped out of his musing a few moments after Jose spoke when the giant grabbed Mira within its fingers, and he hears Jose continue talking.
"For attempting to deceive us… I think I'll have the Phantom Giant crush you to pieces!" he said to the now clearly seen Mirajane.
Harry was angry now. If Jose thinks that everyone is just going to stand there and not try to save Mira, then he was sadly mistaken. "Fawkes-" Harry was about to say more, but when he turned to look at his familiar he saw a huge wave of Phantom Lord mages surrounding him. "Where in the world did all you come from?" He gritted his teeth together in annoyance. "Get out of my way, or else you won't like what I'll do to you," he told them, thinking of burning them all to a crisp.
"Not going to happen, Fairy!" one of the mages said while they all charged at him from all sides, even from behind him through the windows, swinging in by ropes.
'I don't have time to deal with these idiots!' Harry shouted mentally in his mind, but nonetheless he still got ready to deal with these pests. Fawkes took flight, so he doesn't get in Harry's way.
Harry pointed his wand down and said, "Concursores Fluctus!" A burst of energy was sent out in all directions, giving him some space between him and his enemy. Now that he had room to move and breathe, Harry started to throw spells around like it was candy. He was throwing explosion spells, both of the ones he knew, so some people may be missing some parts of themselves if the spell was close enough. These spells weren't the only ones, however; he was also casting water, fire, wind, earth, and freezing spells to stop people within their tracks, but he was also using a new spell that he learned a little while ago. "Augue!" A huge fire ball was shot out of the of the tip of his wand, making the Phantoms Lord mages all run away from it, but once the ball of fire hit the ground, it created a giant hole. Some of the mages weren't so lucky and fell into the new giant hole, but some did get away in time; however, they ran right into another spell that Harry had aimed at them.
Another explosion later, and everyone from Phantom whom attacked him were down and out. Harry was panting from using up so much magic. He wonders if he will be able to keep this up. Well, he'll just have to rest for a bit. But first things first, he needed to help Mira.
"Fawkes!" Harry called out to his familiar, who had watched the fight from the air and is now coming down to pick him up. He knew what Harry wanted, which made the wizard smile in gratitude.
After Fawkes picked Harry up off the ground, they flew out the nearest window to get to Mira, hopefully faster. On their way, they noticed Elfman if a full-body take over, which is one of the reasons they didn't just teleport over – they didn't know if he was in control of himself or not, they had heard what happened from Mira after all.
Speaking of Mira, she looked to be worried about Elfman too. She was praying that he was still in control, but she and Harry didn't get any signs that he was until Elfman pried the fingers of the giant apart and gently grabbed hold of Mira and pulling her away from them.
Harry landed behind them and ran over to Mira, pulling her into a tight hug. "Are you okay?" He asked worriedly.
Mira nodded. "Yeah, I'm okay. I just feel so useless," she replied.
Harry didn't know what he was doing until it happened. Out of impulse, he pulled away and kisses Mira right on the lips.

O_O Well… that just happened. We'll see how Elfman takes this in the next chapter. Anyway, I am going to remind you all that I only plan on reminding you guys that the two are together, nothing more. I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! See you all in two weeks. I'm going back to writing my book. ;)
Harry: You put me and Mira together here?! D=
Enj/Dark: Yeah, I did. I couldn't think of a better time to do it.
Natsu: Elfman is probably going to-
Zeref: *covers Natsu's mouth* Don't say anything!
Enj/Dark: They might already know what's going to happen.
Zeref: Or you might be throwing them a curve ball. :) *watches Enjali nod her head in agreement*
Voldemort: *eye roll* Great, he's in love. Disgusting… Now I know who to go for-
Enj/Dark: Don't even think about it. Besides, the story Voldemort doesn't even know about Harry's soon to be girlfriend, so him attacking her just to get at Harry out of all the other members of Fairy Tail wouldn't make much sense.
Natsu: She has a point. You might go after someone more like Castor or someone weaker.
Harry: He better not touch Castor…*growls*
Enj/Dark: Harry, are you forgetting something.
Harry: Huh? Oh, right… Please review!
