I don't own anything.

In a instant Fairy Tail members and Phantom Lord members clashed with one another. As both parties fought within the Phantom Lord Guild. Gray let his anger unleash upon the enemy.

"Ice Make: Whirlwind!"

Gray unleashed a wind that would be made up of ice that would devastate a horde of Phantom Lord members with ease. Erza would requip into a different type of armor with swords in each hand.

"Heavens Wheel Summon: 100 swords!"

Erza unleashed her attack by summoning at least a hundred swords before sending them all at her opponent's without breaking a sweat.

"Concentrate all attacks on Master Makarov!" A Phantom Lord Member yelled.

Master Makarov might have been alone, surrounded on all sides but when the Phantom Lord Members made a rush for him. He unleashed his magic. The Old Man turning into a giant that towered over everything just like a mountain. He swatted his hand down as he simply crushed the attacking members with his hand. Makarov whirled his hand around to catch the other members of phantom Lord and sent them flying through the air. After Makarov displayed his power did all of the lesser members of phantom lord seem to back away in fear.

"A monster!" One of them shouted.

"Yet, you dare to lay your hands on this monster's children! Don't think about hiding behind human laws to save yourselves!" Makarov yelled.

The Phantom Lord Members found themselves being pushed back.

"These guys are surely the real deal." A phantom lord member commented.

"They're tearing us apart."

Erza sent her fist flying into her opponent. The woman not even needing her weapons to deal with these members. However, she didn't see any of the elemental four or Gajeel that were suppose to be here.

'Where are their S-Class Wizards!?' Erza thought.

"Jose where are you hiding!?" Makarov roared.

Gajeel is present but he watch the fighting from up on the rafters. His arms cross as he looked down on all of the Fairy Tail members.

"Those two newest members aren't here that legendary Ur and the man that freed her, Natsu. They also don't have Mystogan, Laxus, and Gildarts. They're really underestimating us. They really are such violent trash."

Gajeel grew a wide smile.

"Master Jose plan is working out very smoothly." Gajeel further commented.

Back in Magnolia.

Lucy made her way back to Magnolia Hospital. She had a bag of apples in one hand to give to Levy, Jet, and Droy when they eventually wake up. She couldn't help but feel worried for everyone no doubtly fighting. However, her worrying would be put on hold as it began to rain despite the sun being out.

"A sun shower?" Lucy asked distracted.

She looked up in the sky to see heavy cloud rapidly moving in on Magnolia.

"Steady and gentle."

Lucy looked forward to see a woman walking towards her. The rain itself getting heavier as the woman got closer.

"Juvia is the rainmaker, steady yet gentle."

This woman was named Juvia as she stopped a few feet from Lucy.

"Woman who are you?"

Lucy was confused by the question.

"I'm Lucy Heartfilla."

Juvia's face fell into a frown.

"Is that so?"

"Yes...did I do-"

Lucy would be encased in a water bubble as she tried to breathe but found out that she couldn't because of the bubble being made out of water. Her lungs filled with the substance before she could close her mouth again. She tried hanging on as she remembered Natsu's words. Lucy got her head out of the water bubble after some struggling. She coughed up the water in her lungs. Juvia let the girl get rid of the water, she didn't need Lucy dead. Therefore, when Lucy was breathing again. Juvia put the blonde back into the water bubble as Lucy was forced to close her mouth.

"No one can break out of Juvia's water lock." Juvia stated.

Juvia felt immense pain throughout her right shoulder and she took a knee while the water lock spell broke because of her slip in concentration. Lucy began to take breaths after the water broke and had released her from its prison.

"Now, now, at least you have some manners." Natsu stated.

Lucy looked up to see Natsu walking in front of her. His finger aimed at Juvia with a small amount of light gathered at the fingertip. Yet, the intensity of the light could be felt from where she was and she knew Juvia could sense that magical energy. Lucy looked to Juvia. The woman clenching her bleeding shoulder with her free hand. Juvia glaring at Natsu.

"Non, non, non, they must have known that Lucy is the target. This is most unexpected!" Another voice entered into the conversation.

A man walked onto the scene of the trio as he stood in front of Juvia.

"Target? What are you talking about?" Natsu asked.

"You don't know she's the target non? Ah but friend nonetheless and watching after her. I'll give you a warning. I, Sol will let you leave here alive if you give up Lucy Heartfilla to us. If not prepare to die."

Sol's eyes widen as he found Natsu shooting a beam of light at him from the fingertip. Sol couldn't even react as the beam passed through his body. His gut being the target and Sol looked down to see that he was bleeding.

"That's not a wound you wanna have, I suggest you both retreat or else die bleeding out or in your case from that wound. Luckily, there's a hospital readily available to save your life. Which is it? Lucy or you life? What is more important?" Natsu asked.

They clearly chose their life because they began to retreat. Though, Natsu didn't know if Sol was gonna live or not because gut wounds usually ended up killing people.

"Who the hell were those guys!?" Lucy asked.

"I don't know but they were probably from Phantom Lord." Natsu said.

Natsu looked at Lucy, their target was Lucy.

'I can imagine that Jude Heartfilla wants his daughter back if they're trying to go after Lucy. Phantom Lord is like any other guild. They want money and I'm sure he'd pay them handsomely if they can get her daughter back.' Natsu thought.

"We know that they're after you. I haven't said anything about it but because it involves Fairy Tail, Gray as well as Erza, and now me. Did you run away from home?" Natsu asked.

Lucy froze at the explanation and her world began to fall apart at the question.

"No...he didnt...it couldn't be..."

Yet, Lucy knew that her father had hired Phantom Lord to get her back. The reason her friends were in the hospital, the reason her friends were out fighting, it was because of her. She was the sole reason that Phantom Lord had did and were doing what they were doing. Lucy felt awful.

"Lucy, answer me." Natsu said.

Lucy's bangs covered her eyes.

"What if I did?" Lucy asked.

"I'll stop them if you don't want to go back but you need to tell me what you want." Natsu said.

Simultaneously.

"Man! Man! Man! You can't handle me because you aren't man enough!"

"Who is that guy!?"

"That's Beast-Arm Elfman and he uses soul take over magic!"

Elfman's arm would be covered in lizard scales and he used the enlarged arm to plow through a group of phantom lord members with ease.

"Man!" Elfman yelled.

Makarov easily dispatched of the members that were in his way.

"Erza, I leave things here to you!" Makarov stated.

Erza watched as Makarov made his way towards the stairs.

"Master Jose is likely upstairs and if he is breathing, I'm going to put a stop to it!" Makarov told her.

Erza could see that her master was in emotional turmoil. The man focused on his rage that had consumed him.

"Be careful!" Erza warned him.

Makarov didn't respond to her as he opted to leave the area. Gajeel seeing Makarov head up stairs made his move as he shot towards the fighting. Gajeel took out two members of Fairy Tail by using his dragon slaying powers to morph his arm into a iron pole and brought it down onto the heads of his enemy. However, his attack also acted like a AoE because he also dispatched his guildmate. Gajeel proudly stood at full height as he returned his arm back to the way it was. He gave everyone a grin.

"Come on you pieces of trash, I'm right here!" Gajeel shouted.

"What the hell!? He took out his own member too!" A Fairy Tail member commented.

Gajeel seeing no one come to him, he would just go to them and lunged at a fighting group. Gajeel simply didn't care as he took out friend and foe alike as he littered the battlefield once again. Gajeel turn around to see Elfman lunging at him.

"You shouldn't be taking out your own allies as well!" Elfman roared.

Gajeel saw that Elfman had turned his arm into stone and Gajeel would turn his arm back into a iron pole. He blocked Elfman's punch as he became somewhat excited that someone was actively coming to fight him. Gajeel reared his other back and Elfman saw the attack because Elfman dodged the other iron pole that was sent at him. His head moved out of the like of attack. Elfman brought his outstretched arm back to him. The man dodging a sweeping iron pole and took a step back because Gajeel sent out a kick to Elfman. The kick became another iron pole that flinged itself at Elfman whom, caught it with his stone hand. Gajeel and Elfman measuring the other fighter.

"You ain't half bad for trash." Gajeel complimented.

"A man must live strong." Elfman countered.

"Oh? What about this!"

Elfman's eyes widen at seeing multiple iron rods start to form on Gajeel's outstretched leg. Elfman dodged the one sent for him via head movements. However, Elfman noticed all of the attacks hitting Gajeel's guildmates and enemies alike. Elfman let himself get distracted.

"Why do you keep attacking your allies?"

Gajeel took it as his chance to strike.

"What are you doing by taking your eyes off of me!?" Gajeel asked Elfman.

Gajeel landed his next shot because of Elfman's lapse in judgment. The iron pole sinking into Elfman's gut and sending the bigger man away from Gajeel without much fuss. Elfman slammed into a group of fighter's and took them down with him. Gajeel gave out a excited cackle at taking down one of the fairies.

"Is that the best you got!? You guys should have stayed home!" Gajeel shouted to Fairy Tail.

Gray came in to avenge Elfman.

"Ice Make: Halberd!"

Gajeel quickly dodged the halberd that seemed to nearly take his head clean off, the blade of the halberd cutting into his cheek and it didn't take long to feel his cheek become bitterly cold just from the small cut. Gajeel was a bit more careful with Gray because of Gray's Ice Make Magic. Gajeel advanced on Gray while Gray dropped his hands seeing Gajeel wanting to physically fight. Gray would dodged Gajeel's punch before stepping back to get in a proper position. He threw a straight punch while Gajeel got ready to block.

'No.'

Gray didn't have Gajeel blocking from the front with both arms. A feint wouldn't work here. That meant, he would need to force Gajeel to block with both arms. Gajeel blocked the punch before trying to counter but Gray moved away. It looked like Gray had been planning something considering how weak the punch had been into his iron pole.

'You can block with those but they obscure your vision.' Gray thought.

Gray remembered how Natsu controlled the ice and realized if he could get Gajeel to block one of his creations. Gray might be able to follow up. Gray tried getting space but Gajeel had been on to Gray. Gajeel honed in on Gray like a missile and Gray found out that Ice Make Magic lacked mobility. He needed space, not only to use two hands but to launch a weapon. Gray dodged Gajeel's punch only to be forced on the defensive.

'Damn it!'

Gray needed to think of a way to get an opening. Yet, he needed two hands to make creations. Gajeel pressured him and he was forced into blocking. However, blocking meant taking even more damage because of Gajeel using iron poles to attack. Gajeel had a grin on his face. He now had Gray right where he wanted him and had been a bit more confident in his fighting style.

'Damn it, it'll be like when I fought Ur and Lyon. I couldn't find a way to win against them.' Gray thought.

It seemed to click for Gray when he thought of his previous experiences. Ur had used one hand to make simple ice but not an ice creation. Lyon had control his ice with one hand. Therefore, Gray could make a shard of ice and send it at Gajeel. Gray grew a smile as he would use his past experience to make his move. Gajeel lunged at Gray whom jumped back to gain distance. Gajeel knew Gray was trying to make a ice creation. However, Gray played him because he saw a ice shard being shot at him from Gray's hand. Gajeel is now too close to dodge, Gajeel had to block or let the attack hit him with fulf force. Gajeel chose to block with both arms as Gajeel braced for the blow. Gray took full advantage of Gajeel's flawed blocking and rush forward towards his opponent. Gajeel blocked the attack before dropping his guard. He expected to see Gray but that fairy had disappeared. That's when he felt a punch being delivered to his chin. Gajeel's neck snapped back at taking the blow. Gray followed up with kick to Gajeel's gut. The attack sent Gajeel flying into the already destroyed bar. Gray took a step forward as he stood tall.

"Don't underestimate us Fairy Fail Wizards!" Gray yelled.

Phantom Lord was stunned at Gajeel being sent through the air and crashing into the bar. Erza grew a proud smile.

"Damn, no one has ever sent Gajeel flying back."

The shift of the fighting only continued to go to Fairy Tail. As they heard the building began to make noise due to Makarov making his way towards Jose.

"What's that!?" A phantom lord member asked.

"It must be their Master!"

"It looks like Makarov found your Master and its quite unfortunate for you trouble makers because you'll be paying dearly." Erza said.

The woman seeing Gray handle Gajeel and with her Master rampaging upstairs became confident. Victory seemed inevitable.

Makarov did in fact reach Master Jose's location by destroying the last door in his way.

"Jose!" Makarov yelled.

Makarov magical power was at its height as he didn't bother to hide it any longer. When Makarov saw Jose sitting nonchalantly at his desk. The Old Man could care less about control. He very nearly unleash his wraith on Jose. Master Jose was smiling in his seat as Makarov took a few steps into the room.

"What the hell are you thinking!?" Makarov shouted.

Master Jose's smile would only widen.
