The Magic Council eventually arrived at Magnolia and demanded to know what happened. They, of course, tried to blame this on Fairy Tail and arrest them until Natsu stepped in.
Natsu, his demeanor serious and his tone commanding, faced the members of the Magic Council without a hint of fear. "And what do you think you are doing?," he asked, his voice cutting through the tension like a blade. "You're not laying this on Fairy Tail. He started this.'' said Natsu as he threw Jose to them like a sack of potatoes .
The members of the Magic Council were left stunned by Natsu's bold actions, their disbelief evident in their baffled expressions. As Natsu threw Jose to them like a sack of potatoes, their initial shock turned to confusion.
"Saint Jose?" they questioned incredulously, struggling to reconcile the image of the revered Wizard Saint being handled so roughly by the enigmatic Silver-Eye. Fear crept into their hearts as they realized the implications of what had transpired.
Silver-Eye, the mage known as a demon among the people, the mage constantly defying the council's attempts at control, had defeated a Wizard Saint with apparent ease. And to their astonishment, he appeared unharmed, his power seemingly boundless.
At first, the council members were reluctant to believe that Silver-Eye was responsible for Jose's defeat. They entertained the notion that it might have been Saint Makarov, a more plausible adversary. However, as they began to interrogate witnesses and review the evidence, the truth became undeniable.
Every account corroborated Silver-Eye's involvement, detailing his confrontation with Black Steel, Phantom's Ace, and his subsequent defeat of Jose simply by manifesting his aura. The civilians' testimonies only deepened the council members' unease, describing the event as the wrath of a god.
With all evidence pointing to Silver-Eye's version of events, the council had no choice but to accept the truth. The abnormal occurrences from earlier matched the story perfectly, leaving no room for doubt.
However, this realization brought with it a troubling revelation. If Silver-Eye truly possessed such formidable power, he was beyond the council's control, a force unto himself. This realization left the council members feeling powerless and uncertain, unsure of how to proceed in the face of this new, unpredictable threat.
As the realization sank in among the members of the Magic Council, murmurs of disbelief and concern rippled through their ranks.
"This... this can't be possible," one council member muttered, his voice trembling with apprehension. "How could someone like Silver-Eye possess such power?"
Another councilor, his brow furrowed in consternation, shook his head in disbelief. "We've underestimated him," he admitted grudgingly. "We were told he was just some arrogant mage, but it seems we were sorely mistaken."
Natsu, observing the council's reactions with a sense of satisfaction, crossed his arms over his chest, a smug grin playing on his lips. "That's right," he interjected ''Now either you back out and leave my domain or face consequences .''
The council members exchanged uneasy glances, realizing the gravity of the situation. They knew they couldn't simply dismiss Natsu's warning, not after witnessing firsthand the extent of his power.
The head of the Magic Council squad stepped forward, his expression grave as he addressed Natsu. "We understand," he began, his voice measured and composed. "We will withdraw for now. But know this, Silver-Eye: we will be keeping a close eye on you and your guild."
Natsu scoffed ''If you have any resemblance of intelligence you will, in mortal terms 'go fuck yourself' and mind your business , lest i finally end your useless organization, understand?''
The head of the Magic Council squad narrowed his eyes, his resolve hardening in the face of Natsu's challenge. "Your insolence will not go unpunished, Silver-Eye," he retorted, his voice dripping with barely contained anger. "Mark my words, Fairy Tail will be held accountable for their actions, one way or another."
Immediately Natsu grabbed him by the throat and held him in the air ''Are you just retarded or something? You can't hope to do anything to me so stand out of my way and you can keep your false power a bit longer.'' he let the man fall down and turned towards his guild.
A week later
Lucy, Erza, Seilah, along with Natsu and Gray, strolled through the town toward the mauve estate of the Heartfilia family.
"Damn," remarked Gray, his tone tinged with awe. "You are rich, rich."
Erza and Seilah approached Lucy, curiosity in their eyes. "So, are we just here to tell him to mind his business, or are we going to milk him for money?" Erza asked, her voice laced with playful anticipation.
Lucy chuckled, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "A bit of both, I suppose," she replied, her tone teasing. "But mostly to let my father know that I'm doing just fine without his interference."
Seilah nodded in agreement. "This will be quite fun. Do you want to handle this yourself?" she asked Lucy, a hint of mischief in her voice.
Walking alongside them, Natsu couldn't resist chiming in with a mischievous grin. "And if he gives you any trouble, well, we could blow up a few mountains. You and Gray could use the practice," he suggested.
Lucy laughed at Natsu's suggestion, shaking her head. "As tempting as that sounds, I think I'll stick to a more diplomatic approach," she replied, amusement coloring her tone. "But having you guys here definitely gives me some extra reassurance."
Gray smirked at Natsu's mention of blowing up mountains. "Practice or not, I don't think we'll be needing to resort to that today," he commented, his gaze shifting to Lucy with a reassuring smile.
Seilah suddenly interjected with an unexpected suggestion. "We should give our team a name," she proposed.
"Team? So we're a team now?" Gray asked, raising an eyebrow in surprise.
"Well, we have been hanging out and going on missions together. We might as well give ourselves a name," Seilah continued, her tone filled with enthusiasm.
Lucy glanced around at her companions, considering Seilah's suggestion. "I like the idea," she admitted, a smile playing on her lips. "It could be fun to have our own team name."
Natsu nodded, his expression amused. "Well, you're not wrong, Seilah. I guess a name would not hurt," he said, a playful glint in his eyes.
Gray shrugged nonchalantly. "Sure, why not? It could be interesting," he conceded, a hint of curiosity in his voice.
Seilah's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm as she turned to Lucy. "Any ideas for the name?" she asked eagerly, anticipation evident in her voice.
Natsu put his arm around Seilah and gave her a playful peck on the cheek. "Well, let's not use something too dramatic," he suggested with a grin.
Lucy pondered for a moment, her brow furrowing as she searched for the perfect combination of words. "How about... Sovereign Vanguard?" she suggested, her voice carrying a regal tone. "It signifies our commitment to leading the charge, to always being at the forefront of our endeavors, while also evoking a sense of strength and nobility."
"Sovereign Vanguard... it sounds quite interesting !" Said Natsu, a smile of amusement on his face
Gray nodded in agreement, his expression thoughtful. "Yeah, it has a nice ring to it," he remarked, nodding his approval.
Seilah's gaze sparkled with enthusiasm as she turned to Lucy. "Sovereign Vanguard it is, then!" she declared, a sense of pride evident in her voice.
Erza, who had been quietly observing the discussion, joined the conversation with a warm smile. "Sovereign Vanguard... It's a name befitting of warriors such as ourselves," she remarked, her tone filled with approval. She then leaned in, wrapping an arm around Natsu and Seilah, drawing them into a tight embrace showering them with kisses.
As Erza joined the embrace, Natsu couldn't help but laugh, feeling the warmth of their love enveloping him. "Looks like we've got our name," he said, a sense of satisfaction evident in his voice.
As the newly named Sovereign Vanguard approached the gate to the estate , being interrupted by guards who immediately recognized Lucy.
As the newly named Sovereign Vanguard approached the gate to the estate, they were interrupted by guards who immediately recognized Lucy. The guards straightened their stances as Lucy stepped forward, her posture confident and commanding.
One of the guards stepped forward, his expression respectful yet firm. "Lady Heartfilia, what brings you back to the estate?" he inquired, his tone deferential.
Lucy smiled politely at the guard. "I'm here to speak with my father," she replied, her voice steady and composed. "Please inform him that I've arrived."
The guard nodded and signaled for the gates to be opened, allowing the Sovereign Vanguard to enter the estate grounds. As they made their way toward the mansion, Lucy couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation building within her. She knew that confronting her father wouldn't be easy, but she was determined to assert her independence and prove her strength.
As they entered the estate grounds, Lucy couldn't shake the feeling of nostalgia that washed over her. Despite the opulence surrounding her, there was a sense of familiarity that tugged at her heartstrings.
Natsu, ever perceptive, noticed the shift in Lucy's demeanor. He placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder, offering her a supportive smile. "You've got this, Lucy," he said softly, his voice filled with encouragement.
Lucy returned Natsu's smile, grateful for his unwavering support. "Thanks, Natsu," she replied, her voice tinged with determination. "I won't let him intimidate me."
With renewed resolve, Lucy led the Sovereign Vanguard toward the grand entrance of the mansion. As they approached, the imposing double doors swung open, revealing a spacious foyer adorned with exquisite artwork and lavish furnishings.
Standing at the center of the foyer was Jude Heartfilia, Lucy's father and the patriarch of the Heartfilia family. His stern expression did not soften as he caught sight of Lucy and her companions.
Lucy's jaw clenched as she faced her father, her eyes flashing with a mixture of anger and defiance. "Father," she began, her voice steady despite the tumultuous emotions swirling within her. "We need to talk."
Jude regarded her with a cool detachment, his expression betraying none of the remorse or guilt Lucy had hoped to see. "What is it, Lucy?" he replied, his tone clipped and businesslike.
Taking a deep breath to steady herself, Lucy plunged into the heart of the matter. "I know what you did, Father," she accused, her voice ringing with accusation. "You were behind the attack on Fairy Tail, weren't you? And you've been trying to control my life, dictating who I marry and what I do."
Jude's facade of composure wavered slightly at Lucy's accusations, but he quickly regained his stoic demeanor. "I did what was best for the family," he countered, his voice firm. "And as your father, it is my responsibility to ensure your future and the future of the Heartfilia name."
Lucy's temper flared at his dismissive response. "I will not be treated as a pawn in your games, Father," she declared, her voice trembling with righteous anger. "I refuse to marry someone I don't love, and I refuse to be shackled by your outdated traditions."
Jude's eyes narrowed, a steely resolve shining in their depths. "You will do as I say, Lucy," he insisted, his voice laced with authority. "You are a Heartfilia, and you will act accordingly."
But before Jude could continue, Natsu stepped forward, his presence commanding and his gaze piercing. "You will sit down and let Lucy finish what she has to say," he interjected firmly, his silver eyes glowing with an otherworldly intensity as he locked gazes with Jude. "You will not interrupt, am I clear?"
,,And who do you think you are to order me in MY house!'' shouted Jude.
,,Silver-Eye'' Natsu's response echoed through the foyer, the weight of his title sinking in. Jude's eyes widened as he processed the implication of Natsu's identity.
"Silver-Eye..." Jude murmured, his voice trailing off as he struggled to find words to match the sudden realization.
Natsu remained steadfast, his gaze unwavering as he met Jude's stunned expression. "That's right," he confirmed, his voice firm and unyielding. "And in this moment, I am the one in charge."
''Let go to your office shall we?''continued Natsu
Jude's pride bristled at Natsu's boldness, but he begrudgingly accepted the invitation. As they entered the office, Natsu wasted no time in taking charge. With a swift motion, he teleported straight to the desk, planting himself into the chair with a casual air. Erza followed suit, taking a seat in Natsu's lap, while Seilah positioned herself on the side of the desk, her presence adding an additional layer of authority to the room.
"You may continue, Jude," Natsu declared, his voice carrying an undeniable tone of command.
Jude hesitated for a moment, his gaze flickering between Natsu and Lucy. With a resigned sigh, he took his seat behind the desk, feeling the weight of Natsu's presence looming over him. Gathering his composure, Jude prepared to address the grievances that Lucy had brought to his attention, knowing that he faced an uphill battle in regaining control of the situation.
As Jude composed himself behind his desk, Lucy stood tall, her resolve unwavering despite the tension in the air. She fixed her father with a steely gaze, determined to make her voice heard.
"Father," Lucy began, her tone firm yet tinged with emotion, "I cannot continue to live under the shadow of your expectations. I refuse to sacrifice my happiness for the sake of tradition or status. I deserve the freedom to make my own choices, to pursue my own path in life."
Jude's expression softened slightly at Lucy's words, a flicker of paternal concern shining through his stern facade. "Lucy, you must understand that I only want what's best for you," he replied, his voice tinged with regret. "But you must also understand the responsibilities that come with being a Heartfilia."
Lucy shook her head, her determination unwavering. "I understand my responsibilities, Father," she asserted, her voice steady. "But I also understand my own worth, and I refuse to be treated as a bargaining chip in your schemes."
Natsu watched the exchange with a sense of pride, his respect for Lucy growing with each word she spoke. Beside him, Erza and Seilah offered their silent support, their presence a testament to their solidarity as a team.
Jude sighed heavily, the weight of his daughter's words bearing down on him. For the first time, he truly saw Lucy as an independent woman, capable of making her own decisions. With a heavy heart, he conceded defeat, knowing that he could no longer control her destiny.
"Very well, Lucy," Jude conceded, his voice resigned. "You have made your point clear. I will not stand in your way any longer."
Lucy's expression softened at her father's admission, a sense of relief washing over her. "Thank you, Father," she replied, her voice filled with gratitude.
,,Don't forget the compensation from the war you started between Phantom and us .'' said Gray
Gray's words hung heavy in the air, a reminder of the past grievances that still lingered between the Heartfilia family and Fairy Tail. Lucy's expression faltered slightly at the mention of compensation, a reminder of the pain and loss they had endured.
Jude's gaze softened, his eyes reflecting a mix of regret and remorse. "Of course, Gray," he replied, his voice tinged with sincerity. "I will ensure that Fairy Tail receives the compensation they are owed for the damages caused."
Gray nodded, his expression serious yet understanding. "Thank you, Mr. Heartfilia," he acknowledged, his tone respectful.
With that final acknowledgment, the tension between them seemed to dissipate, replaced by a sense of closure and mutual understanding. As they prepared to part ways, Lucy felt a weight lift from her shoulders, knowing that she had not only stood up for herself but also for her guild.
As they left the Heartfilia estate behind them, the members of the Sovereign Vanguard knew that they had faced a difficult challenge and emerged stronger for it.
"Do you guys know what we need?" Erza inquired, her tone light as Natsu carried her like a princess.
Seilah dramatically turned around towards Erza, her expression playful as she responded, "Oh, what may we need in this moment, oh great princess?"
"That, my most loyal subject, is a vacation!" responded Erza smugly.
Natsu, amused by this, lightly bit on her ear. "And where should we go, my beloved?"
Erza, puffing out her chest in pride, announced, "I have acquired VIP tickets to Akane Resort! Five tickets to be exact! We leave in two days!"
With the promise of a relaxing getaway on the horizon, the members of the Sovereign Vanguard couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement building within them.
At the Dragneel house that night
The bedroom was filled with the sounds of passion as Natsu and Erza indulged in each other, their connection igniting a fiery intensity between them.
"Mmmm, yes, Natsu," Erza moaned, her voice laced with desire as she clung to him, savoring every touch and sensation. "Right there, mmmm."
Natsu chuckled softly, his eyes gleaming with amusement at Erza's response. "So full of energy, aren't you?" he teased, his hands exploring her body with practiced precision.
Erza grinned playfully, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Don't be mean... or no! Be mean, I won't mind some spanks," she quipped, her voice husky with anticipation.
Natsu obliged, delivering a firm yet playful spank, eliciting a gasp of pleasure from Erza. "Don't worry, I'm not done with you," he whispered seductively, his hands trailing along her curves possessively. "We're just getting started, you know this."
With a swift movement, Natsu shifted Erza back to his chest , his gaze filled with primal desire as he claimed her as his own. "Mine," he declared, his voice husky with need as he lavished attention on her body, his lips and teeth leaving a trail of kisses and bites along her neck and shoulder.
Erza's breath hitched at Natsu's possessive declaration, her heart pounding in sync with the rhythm of their lovemaking. "All yours," she murmured, her voice heavy with desire, lost in the ecstasy of their connection.
With Seilah in the bathroom some time later
In the bathroom, the atmosphere was serene as Seilah luxuriated in the bubble bath, Natsu's gentle caresses sending shivers of pleasure through her body.
"And you called Erza full of energy," Seilah remarked teasingly, her voice laced with desire as she savored the sensations Natsu's touch evoked.
Natsu chuckled softly, his fingers tracing delicate patterns along Seilah's skin. "I never said I wasn't," he replied playfully, his lips curling into a mischievous grin. "You love the attention, Sel, we both know it."
Seilah's breath hitched at Natsu's words, her cheeks flushing with arousal as she gazed up at him with adoration. "Mmm, yes I do," she admitted huskily, her eyes gleaming with desire. "Now show me some love, master."
With a devilish grin, Natsu lifted Seilah out of the bath like a princess, his touch possessive yet tender as he laid her down on the nearby couch. As Seilah donned a black, skin-tight harness adorned with tights and a collar, her demonic horns made a striking appearance, adding to the allure of the scene.
Moans of pleasure filled the air as Natsu's hands roamed Seilah's body, exploring every curve and contour with reverent attention. With each touch, Seilah's desire surged, her body responding eagerly to Natsu's ministrations.
Natsu's left hand gripped Seilah's harness firmly, while his right hand tangled in her hair, holding her in place as he ravished her with his touch. Their connection was electric, igniting a passionate fire that consumed them both as they surrendered to the intoxicating pleasure of their desires.
Back in the bedroom right after
Seilah was now on her back Erza on top of her kissing her neck and shoulders leaving marks while Natsu was at Erza's back doing the same to her neck and occasionally kissing Seilah ''mmmm yes, yes, yes mm'' said Erza between breaths as Natsu was thrusting into her.
Erza now wears something similar to Seilah with tights, a harness and glover that went past her elbow.
This was going to be a long and fun night.
Next day
The next day, Natsu and Seilah found themselves in the kitchen, preparing breakfast, both with smiles on their faces as they reminisced about the previous night.
"Okay, I'll admit, I wanted that so much," Seilah said, turning around to passionately kiss Natsu.
Natsu returned the kiss with equal enthusiasm. "I know, the dragon mark, remember? It's very useful."
Seilah chuckled lightly as they remained locked in each other's embrace. "Erza was quite energetic last night."
"And I WILL CONTINUE TO BE," declared the energetic dragon queen loudly as she entered the kitchen. "You both love it! Don't try to deny it!" She proceeded to shower them both with kisses and hugs.
"Oh, yes, absolutely," Seilah agreed, enjoying their embrace.
Natsu playfully took Erza by the waist and lifted her onto the table. Erza immediately seized his hand and pulled him in, kissing him passionately while running her hands through his hair.
Natsu, amused, inquired when Erza allowed him a moment of freedom. "Now something is definitely up, my dear."
Erza grinned mischievously at him. "Oh, I know what it is. It's pushing at my leg," she said playfully, tilting her head. "Also, my love for you darlings!"
Seilah laughed at this. "Well, okay, I need to make breakfast. You have 15 minutes, no more, alright, Erza?" She glanced towards her.
"What, you're not joining?" Erza playfully whined, smiling at Seilah.
"Settle down, girl. Natsu, love, take care of our darling dragoness," Seilah said, kissing them both on the cheek and deftly dodging Erza's attempt to steal her lips.
Next day at the train station
"Everyone ready?" Erza asked, her voice carrying a hint of excitement. "Have you packed everything you need? We don't want to forget anything important."
Natsu and Seilah exchanged knowing glances before chuckling at Erza's thoroughness. "Yes, darling, we have everything," they replied in unison, their voices filled with amusement and affection.
Gray and Lucy nodded in agreement, their expressions conveying a mix of anticipation and readiness. "All set," they confirmed.
"ALL ABOARD!" Erza's commanding voice echoed through the bustling station, signaling the beginning of their journey.
A few hours into the ride, the group split off into different conversations. Natsu and Gray found themselves standing by the window, the rhythmic motion of the train providing a soothing backdrop to their discussion.
"It's still a bit surreal, you know?" Gray mused, taking a sip from his drink. "Two months ago, I was barely mastering basic Ice Make magic, and now I'm taking on S-Class mages."
Natsu nodded in understanding, his gaze fixed on the passing scenery. "You've always had incredible potential, Gray. You just needed the right motivation and guidance."
Gray smiled appreciatively at Natsu's words, a newfound sense of confidence evident in his demeanor. "So, about Black Steel joining Fairy Tail... Did you talk to Gramps about it?"
Natsu's expression turned thoughtful as he recalled their conversation. "Yeah, I had a chat with Gramps. Gajeel's on board with joining us for training and maybe even missions."
Curiosity flickered in Gray's eyes as he leaned in, eager for more details. "How strong is he, compared to us?"
"Well," Natsu began, his tone carrying a hint of admiration, "even with his incomplete Dragon Force, Gajeel was a force to be reckoned with. Stronger than Erza in her base form, and slightly edging you out in raw power. I'd estimate he's hovering around the 65,000 mark."
Gray whistled softly, impressed by the revelation. "That's no small feat. This training's going to be intense."
Their conversation shifted to other potential recruits, and Gray couldn't help but think of Juvia. "I asked Juvia to join us too. We didn't fight back then; we just talked. She seemed lonely, always surrounded by rain. But somehow, when I was around, it stopped. She mentioned Gajeel was her only friend. Do you think she'd be interested in training with us?"
"Gajeel actually brought that up," Natsu replied, a hint of amusement coloring his voice. "I said yes. And Gray, I've gotta hand it to you—fighting prowess and AND landing girls. Impressive."
Gray chuckled at Natsu's remark, a faint blush creeping onto his cheeks. "Well, you know me, always multitasking," he replied with a grin.
Natsu nodded in agreement, a playful glint in his eyes. "True, true. You learned from the best after all," he pointed at himself.
"Careful, I might slip that one to your wives," teased Gray.
Natsu's grin widened. "How do you think I got two wives if not for that?"
With the girls gathered together, Lucy broke the silence with a curious question. "So, what have you been up to lately?"
Erza, with a mischievous glint in her eyes, responded without missing a beat. "Oh, you know, on the bed, on the table, on the couch, and on Natsu's shoulders, on Seilah's shoulders..."
Lucy's cheeks flushed a deep shade of pink, a mixture of embarrassment and curiosity washing over her. "Uh, Erza, I... um..." She stumbled over her words, unsure of how to respond to Erza's candidness.
Seilah stifled a giggle behind her hand, clearly amused by Lucy's reaction. "Don't worry, Lucy. Erza's just being her usual self," she reassured her, shooting Erza a playful look.
Despite her embarrassment, Lucy couldn't help but be intrigued. "I, uh, I mean... details, Erza? How did it all happen?" she asked, her curiosity getting the better of her.
Erza grinned mischievously, clearly enjoying Lucy's reaction. "Well, let me tell you..." she began, launching into a colorful recounting of their recent escapades, much to Lucy's amusement and embarrassment.
,,And it was PERFECT like it always is with my darlings .'' Erza finished her recounting of their lately activities .
Lucy tries to hide her curiosity with embarrassment of indifference, failing to do so.
,,But why you ask Lucy? Hmm? You want some of Natsu? Hmmm?'' asked Erza mischievously.
Lucy's cheeks flushed even deeper shades of pink, her embarrassment now compounded by Erza's teasing. "Wh-what? No! I-I mean, it's not like that!" she stammered, flustered by Erza's insinuation.
Seilah chuckled at the exchange, finding amusement in Lucy's flustered response. "Oh, Erza, you're incorrigible," she remarked, shaking her head with a fond smile.
"But Lucy, if you want, we can maybe arrange something. You're a good girl, we can make this work with Natsu," Seilah added, her tone playful yet suggestive.
Lucy's cheeks flushed even deeper at Seilah's proposition, "What? You too now?" she mumbled.
Erza and Seilah exchanged knowing glances, a silent understanding passing between them as they continued to tease Lucy, their laughter filling the air with warmth.
