Chapter 4
It had been a week since Naruto returned to the guild. It had been crazy and peaceful with how fun things tended to get around the guild. Seilah and Ur had integrated into the guild about as well as he expected. Ur fit in more and got involved with any brawls that took place which she would unconsciously strip out of most of her clothes. Seilah was more reserved, opting to interact with only a few people such as his parents, Makarov, and the other girlfriends. Naruto hadn't taken any missions, wanting to relax with everyone.
However, when it came to his girlfriends, he had been busy with them and really putting his stamina to the test. They could make him work for it, who knew that they could all keep up with him? He not only had his nightly activities with them, but he also took each girl on a date to make up for being gone for so long and they made sure that he spoiled them. Right now, Naruto was in the guildhall with a mug of beer at the bar chatting with everyone.
"Has anyone seen Natsu around? I haven't seen him today and he's usually here by now?" Lisanna asked curiously.
"I haven't seen him or Happy today either," Mirajane said.
"Lucy hasn't been around either. She is probably on a mission with them" Levy said with a hum.
"Hmmm, no missions have been taken recently" Makarov said, as he rubbed his chin in thought.
"Well, none of the weakling ones pops," A voice said from upstairs.
Everyone looked up to the second floor, and saw a young man, who had yellow spiky hair and headphones over his ears.
"Laxus, what are you talking about?" Minato asked with a firm tone.
"Heh, I saw Happy steal a mission from the S-Class mission board this morning," Laxus said with a smirk.
"And you did nothing to stop them?" Naruto glared at the blonde who glared back at him, but had a non-caring smirk on his face.
"Hey, it's not my job to babysit Natsu and Happy. If they want to get killed, then that's their problem" Laxus said with a shrug, while still smirking arrogantly.
Naruto scowled at this while Ur frowned and Seilah scoffed at the pathetic man.
"Well if you're not gonna do anything, then get the hell out of here if you'renot going to be useful, then you have no business being here." Naruto said with a wave of his hand.
Laxus sneered at the blonde Jinchuuriki before he burst into lightning and appeared in front of him with his fist cocked and was about to hit him in the face. He quickly activated his Sage Mode and caught the punch which created a small shockwave as the ground shook.
"Are they about to start fighting?" Elfman asked nervously with everyone else watching in anticipation.
"ENOUGH!" Makarov bellowed out, as he approached them both to separate them, in case they started exchanging blows.
Naruto let go of Laxus' fist, and went back to drinking, while still glaring at him with his Sage Mode active.
"This isn't over whiskers." Laxus growled out, before he walked away.
Naruto said nothing to this, but continued to glare at Laxus as he walked away. And when he was far enough away, Naruto powered down out of Sage Mode and winced slightly, as he held his wrist.
"Are you ok?" Lisanna asked, as she raised an eyebrow at Naruto.
"Yea, that guy's lightning was stronger than I expected and hurt like a bitch, but it's nothing I can't handle." Naruto said as he shook his wrist lightly
"I'm sorry about him, it seems nothing has changed for him like I hoped would after he crossed you last time." Makarov said while sighing sadly.
Before anything else could be said, everyone heard Mirajane's yell, before they saw her appear next to the railing, with a look of worry on her face.
"What is it, sis?" Elfman asked.
"The Galuna Island mission request is gone," Mirajane said.
"WHAT?!" The entire guild all yelled out in shock and worry. Out of nowhere Naruto and Ur started laughing, catching everyone's attention, wondering what's wrong with them. Seilah was silently snickering already knowing what was about to happen.
"I'm sorry, but there's no reason to worry about Natsu, Lucy, and Happy doing that mission." Naruto got his laugh under control.
"Why are you not even caring about this?! Don't you know how dangerous this job is?!" Erza asked sternly with a hand on her hip.
"It's because the job has been completed already." Seilah admitted as everyone looked at her with confusion.
"We had already done the job before we came back. It wasn't even a curse, but something else instead." Naruto said with everyone blinking their eyes.
"So, why wasn't the job taken down if it's been done already?" Minato asked, wanting to know why he hadn't been aware of this.
"We did tell the magic council. They should've told the guilds about it, but anyway what's funny is that Natsu took a job that's already been done." Ur said as she had been released from her ice prison at that mission, so she would know.
Everyone looked dumbfounded at what they heard until they started laughing at the notion, especially Gray who was holding his stomach from laughing so hard. Even Erza was laughing a bit at the situation and when she calmed down, she nodded in approval, thinking this would be the perfect start for their punishment.
"Shall I go after them Master?" Erza asked Minato who nodded.
"I wanna go too. Wanna be the one to tell him that he picked a completed mission and see his face." Naruto snickered as his parents chuckled.
"You can go too son, but don't be too long. If they've been gone this long already, then we won't see you until tomorrow." Minato said as they quickly left to get the three troublemakers.
"I feel sorry for them when Erza gets her hands on them. She's almost as bad as I am." Kushina snickered as everyone gave her a deadpan look, even her husband looked at her that way.
"Especially Natsu and Happy. Erza is really going to beat the hell out of them." Gray said with a grin.
"It'll be fun to watch when they get back with what their punishment will be. I'm looking forward to that." Cana snorted as everyone started laughing again, no longer worrying about them with the kind of mission it was.
It didn't take long for Naruto and Erza to move through the town as fast as they could before they stopped at the edge where the gate was.
"This seems like a good place to go from here." Naruto said, stopping near a forest.
"What are you doing, Naruto-kun?" Erza asked, wondering why he stopped.
"I remembered that I had marked Natsu, knowing that he would get into trouble, but I never expected him to try something like this." Naruto replied as he held out his hand. "Give me your hand."
Erza looked at the hand before she took it and looked at him with a quirked eyebrow.
"Brace yourself, we're gonna use the Hiraishin to get there quicker." Naruto said, getting an "o" from the redhead who now understood what he meant as they disappeared in a blue flash.
Meanwhile Natsu, Lucy, and Happy had made it to Hargeon, but for some reason every time they asked about the mission, they would be told it would be a waste of time to go there, but when they asked why, they'd just walk off. It had been hours and no one would bother with them or listen to what they're trying to do.
"Gah, why won't anyone take us there? It's like they know something and are also annoyed with us asking them about it." Lucy said with a frown.
"It's like they're mocking us for wanting to go there for a job!" Natsu shouted in frustration as flames came from his mouth.
"There's a reason no one's wanting to take you guys there." Naruto's voice was heard and they froze and turned around slowly as they're faces grew paler by the second and became ghost white when they saw Erza was with him.
"Eep!" Lucy squeaked as she saw the duo.
"Busted!" Happy shouted as he flew behind Natsu for safety when he saw Erza glaring at them.
"What are you doing here and how did you get here so quickly?!" Natsu screamed in terror seeing the redhead glaring at him, while Naruto was watching in amusement.
"We teleported here and there's a reason that no one will take you to the island." Naruto reminded them, confusing the three quest stealers.
"What do you mean?" Natsu asked, not having a good feeling about this.
"It's because the job has already been done." Erza answered with a neutral look, but inwardly she was smirking and laughing at their reactions.
"WHAT?!" They shouted in disbelief.
"It's true. It was done months ago in fact, but for some reason dad never got notified about it like the other guilds did." Naruto said as they slumped in depression.
"But who did it?" Happy asked the two with teary eyes.
"And what about the golden key?" Lucy asked, that being the reason she was going in the first place.
"I did it in fact and as for the key as a bonus reward, are you referring to this?" Naruto reached into his pocket and pulled out a golden key that made Lucy look at him with a pleading look.
"Can I have that Naruto-san, please?" Lucy begged him, but he shook his head and gave her a smirk that made her nervous.
"Not a chance Lucy, you aren't getting this guy for sometime as part of your punishment for taking a job you weren't supposed to take." Naruto told his fellow blonde who gained an aura of depression.
"And as for you two, we're heading back right now, well you're going to have a chat with the master." Erza said as she grabbed Natsu by the scarf and Happy by his tail and started dragging them back with Naruto and Lucy following who continued to ask for the key.
The Next Day
The group made it to Magnolia after traveling from Hargeon Town. Erza asked Fox why they couldn't travel using the Hiraishin, he replied that he wanted to give his own form of punishment making them walk the whole way. Besides, he enjoyed a good walk back to the guild.
"Well, I hope you're having fun, because once we get to the guild, you will be punished," Erza said. It took a few seconds before they realized what Erza meant.
"The Master will decide," Erza said, a smirk on her face. "Personally, I hope he does IT…Fufufu."
"I've heard about that punishment and even I'm wary about it. it has been a while since IT happened to someone from what I've heard."
"What! No!" Happy cried.
"What is IT!?" Lucy cried, getting scared.
"Don't worry," Natsu said in an easy-going tone, grinning. "The old man loves me. I'll talk to him about all this."
"I don't think you should do the talking," Lucy said with a deadpanned expression.
"And did you call my father, an old man who is only in his forties?" Naruto mused with a raised brow.
"Oh no, there's no escaping it," Erza said with a smirk directed at Natsu. "I can't wait for IT."
Natsu just grinned before he slowly started paling and sweating profusely. He then tried to run, but Erza grabbed him by the foot and started dragging him back to the guild.
"No! Anything but IT!" Happy cried as he clawed on the ground.
"What's gonna happen to us…" Lucy cried as Happy followed
They all soon arrived at the guild hall while the three were getting paler by the second.
"No! I do not consent!" Natsu yelled out in a panic, kicking his legs in the air.
"I need an adult!" Happy yelled out, as he tried to bite his way through the rope.
"Oh, will you both stop and take your punishment like adults?" Lucy said with a scowl.
"You do know that you're being punished too, right?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow.
"…..they made me go!" Lucy yelled out in a panic.
"You sellout!" Natsu and Happy yelled out together.
"Ok, let's get this over with. I'm getting a headache" Erza said, as he approached the doors.
Erza then opened the doors, then dragged Natsu and Happy inside the guild hall.
"Ah, welcome back you two" Macao said with a smile at them all, as they entered.
"Did they give you any trouble Erza?" Elfman asked with a grin, as he stood at the bar, where Mira was cleaning some dishes.
"I'm here! Now, where are those brats?!" Minato yelled out, as he jumped down from the second floor and landed in front of them.
"AAHHHHHHHH!" Natsu and Happy yelled in terror, as Natsu tried to run away, but Erza simply pulled him back with the rope.
"Silence!" Makarov yelled at them, making them go silent as he waited for his predecessor to see how he'd punish them.
"So, what are you gonna do to them?" Lisanna asked curiously.
"…..Natsu, you're banned from picking fights for two weeks!" Minato said with a firm tone.
"What?! But I wanted to challenge Naruto again!" Natsu yelled out, gesturing to Naruto who looked at him blankly.
"Well you're waiting two weeks, or I'm gonna have Erza beat some obedience into you or have my wife do it or both of them." Minato said with an amused look while giving the last part a thoughtful expression while Natsu paled considerably at the thought and nodded frantically.
"Ha ha!" Happy yelled, as he looked at Natsu.
"As for you Happy…no fish for a wee -" Makarov said, before he was cut off.
"Kill me now! I don't wanna live anymore!" Happy bellowed as he cried while everyone else sweatdropped at what was happening.
A Few Days Later
"I'm booooored" Natsu let out a long groan from his place on the table; he was sprawled all over it with a dead eyed look on his face. "Booooored"
"Stop saying you're bored!" Lucy screeched.
"But I am bored!" Natsu whined and pouted as he crossed his arms over his chest.
"Well complaining about it won't make it more interesting!" Lucy shouted at the pinked haired slayer.
"It's not my fault Erza is punishing us with no jobs for breaking the guild's rules!"
"...Yes it is!" The Celestial Mage finally lost it. "It's in part mind you, but you're as much to blame!"
Naruto just gazed over at them dryly while he sat at the bar. Natsu could whine all he wanted; but he was stuck until the week was over. Though would it be too much to ask to have a beer in peace?
"Hmph" Erza huffed from her place on a table as she cleaned one of her many swords. "No jobs allowed until your punishment is over, Natsu. If you continue complaining, you'll leave me no choice but to punish you myself"
"...I'll be good" Natsu mumbled
Mira only sighed as she walked back to the bar after serving drinks. She stopped at the job stand tilting her head; "What's this?"
That prompted Naruto to leave his stool to walk over; "What is it?"
"I don't remember this job being here before" Mira said as she read the job request. It was written over a dark paper with strange arcane symbols drawn on it.
Naruto sweatdropped. "What's with the ominous look..?"
"500.000 Jewels just by reading it?" Mirajane read over the job description in confusion.
"What do you guys have there?" Kushina asked as she and Minato walked over to see what the commotion was about.
"There's this odd job request. Take a look for yourself." Levy said, handing the paper to Minato as he and Kushina read it over.
"This is strange indeed. I don't remember this coming across my desk or anything of the sorts." Minato said with a frown.
Erza also walked over as Minato put the paper down on a table beside Lucy, Gray, Natsu, and Happy. "An easy 500,000," Natsu shrugged, "how hard could it be?" He asked.
Gray lifted a brow gazing over; "The hell, what kind of language is that?"
"Let's read it!" Natsu said excitedly. He could buy all sorts of food with that mo-
A chop to his head stopped his thoughts. "I said no jobs!" Erza angrily growled. "And didn't you hear her? It must be a curse of some sort!"
The rosette dragon slayer did not really listen and just read; "Aw this language is easy." As he spoke the words despite being yelled at by Erza, Minato and Kushina had a bad feeling about this.
A glowing light of rainbow colors enveloped the eight. Then, as suddenly as it appeared, it was gone. The group rubbed their eyes and stared down at the paper on the table.
"Well, that was pointless….." Gray said in a more feminine voice that startled him and everyone else around. "What happened to me Dattebane?!" Gray shouted in a panic.
"Gray, what happened. To. your. Voice?" Lucy asked, but realized it wasn't her voice, but Natsu's.
"What's happening?!" Macao shouted.
"My back is killing me. Is this what you girls have to deal with all the time?" Mira asked, as she was bent over slightly with a pained expression.
"Why do I feel like I'm not wearing any clothes already and still feel the need to take them off? Also, when did I have this keg in my hands?" Cana asked, which made everyone look at her with confusion.
"What the hell, give me alcohol back?" Ur shouted,as she snatched the keg and was about to drink when she realized something and saw this wasn't her body, but Ur's. "What the hell?!" She shouted.
"Okay... That was weird dattebayo," Seilah said before she froze. "Uh... Why do I sound like Seilah-chan?"
Naruto covered his mouth with both hands staring at Sayla; "Naruto-kun!?"
"Well this is certainly a strange feeling. I feel different." Levy said as she looked at everyone else who was freaking out. Strange that she wasn't.
"Natsu, we told you not to open the damn book and you do this!" Sayla shouted though, it sounded more like Naruto.
"I think the pathetic human needs to die for his transgressions." Naruto said in a calm yet threatening tone, but it was Sayla's voice instead.
"Well, this is certainly interesting. Think we should pull her inside?" Kurama mused from inside the seal.
"Poor girl is freaking out like everyone else is, well except for Mira for some reason." Matatabi said in concern for everyone, not finding this funny like her brother was.
"Let's bring her in and try to calm her down before she kills him or anyone for that matter." Chomei agreed completely.
"Naruto" was making his way to beat the living shit out of Natsu who was in Lucy's body when she suddenly felt herself get pulled, stopping her in place. "Seilah" saw this and thanked the Biju since this was their doing having had the same thing happen to him a few times when they needed to speak with him that required him to be there in person so to speak instead of just having mental conversations.
Seilah looked around wondering where she was. One moment she was about to kill Natsu, but then she was suddenly pulled wherever she was. She looked herself over to make sure she was fine and to her surprise and delight, she had her own physical appearance and not Naruto's, but the question remained, where was she?
Her head sharply looked forward to hearing a deep rumbling growl further within. She felt like she could literally taste power in the wind. Taking a long deep breath she walked through the corridor, Her midnight blue orbs gazed at the cracked walls and leaky pipes.
She reached a point where the corridor opened to another path, she could feel a wind coursing through, carrying a foul smelling stench, it almost felt like... breathing. She placed a hand over the corner and peered, there she saw a shorter extension of the corridor and at the end laid three humongous beings. One had orange fur and red slitted eyes with nine bushy tails swaying behind him, another had armor of sorts and a helmet-like face that hid it's eyes and six tails behind him and one on the bottom while he floated off the ground, and the last one was made out of "blue fire" and had green and yellow eyes with two tails swaying behind her slowly.
"Okay, are you the Tailed Beasts that Naruto-kun has told me about?" Seilah asked with wide eyes. They were huge, especially Kurama who was the largest of them. Hell they were as tall as dragons and a certain Black Dragon of the Apocalypse.
"Yes, we are child. I'm Matatabi, it's nice to finally meet you even if the situation is rather strange." Matatabi said with a smile.
"I'm Chomei. It's nice to meet you as well, Seilah-san." Chomei said with a nod, one that Seilah returned.
"And I'm the Mighty Kurama, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox!" Kurama bellowed throughout the mindscape that left and echoed. He would've embellished himself more if he hadn't felt two tails smack him upside the head sending his head into the ground. He pulled his head up and saw it was Matatabi who had done it and was rolling her eyes at him.
"Baka. Don't act like an idiot brother. She already respects us even when she doesn't have to treat us as such and you doing this doesn't help things at all." Matatabi scolded Kurama who growled for a moment before grumbling as he laid his head on his paws like he usually did.
"It's an honor to finally meet you. Naruto-kun has told me stories about each of you and he speaks very highly of you all." Seilah said in awe. This was a rare moment where she could meet with such amazing beings who could flatten cities with ease.
"We're glad that we get to meet you too. We want to say a few things to you regarding Naruto-kun." Matatabi said as Sayla sat down in the middle in a cross-legged position.
Real World
While those four were talking, everyone else was trying to figure out how to change back to their real bodies. Naruto was calm, despite being in Sayla's body trying to keep everyone else from hurting themselves or doing something drastic. Minato and Erza had swapped each other's bodies as it turned out as Erza tried to use the Hiraishin, having been fascinated by it, but she crashed face first into one of the pillars, making everyone wince. Minato was trying to keep everyone calm much like Naruto and trying not to freak out about swapping with Erza. Gray was in Kushina's body and had started stripping his clothes, but was stopped by Minato thankfully, not wanting his wife's body to be seen by anyone, especially their son. Levy, while complaining about her back, was studying the rune that was on the request, trying to decipher it that would change their bodies back, but they had a time limit or else it would be permanent. Cana and Kushina were beating Natsu with the keg, who was in Lucy's body for what he did.
"There I got it!" Mira exclaimed as she spoke the counter spell, having spent nearly all this time studying it before the spell became permanent.
Seilah gasped and she blinked several times. She looked at herself realizing she was within her own body again. And a very concerned Naruto was gazing at her; "Are you okay?" He whispered before her dainty hand covered his mouth.
"I'm fine, Naruto-kun, actually had a nice conversation with the Biju and learned a lot about them in the limited time we had. They're fascinating and would love to speak with them again, well Chomei and Matatabi anyway. Kurama was somewhat annoying." Seilah said with a huff.
"Figured he would be like that. He just loves getting on people's nerves. It's how he is though." Naruto sighed as Sayla nodded in agreement.
"Wait, you did what Seilah-chan?!" Kushina asked having heard what happened and was in front of the girl instantly with everyone else looking at her in confusion.
"What happened to Seilah?" Mira asked with a tilt of her head.
"I met the Biju sealed in Naruto-kun." Sayla said.
This got a smack to the forehead from Kushina who was muttering something that no one could understand. His girlfriends were curious how that meeting went and would want to ask about it later. Natsu was grinning for some reason like an idiot.
"I'd like to fight them to see how strong they are in person." Natsu said, getting many people to face plant, having expected him to say something like that.
"They'd squish you as of right now, especially Kurama." Naruto chuckled as Natsu pouted while Gray snickered quietly.
"Well after this excitement, I'm going to go home now before something else happens." Naruto said with Seilah following him.
"Aren't you forgetting something Naruto-kun?" Mira asked with a cute pout.
He rolled his eyes playfully, but kissed her and the other girls as Kushina was squealing with Minato chuckling, but also had a proud look on his face.
It was morning now after he went home for the night, everyone else had started leaving since it was getting pretty late. Naruto had gotten up early to do some morning training. He had decided to go outside to the backyard and work on his taijutsu right now. He summoned a sealless shadow clone and they nodded to each other before going into different stances before charging at each other.
Naruto had just sparred with a clone that was enhanced by his chakra making it more durable and able to last longer too for two hours now in simple taijutsu when they finished. After dispelling the clone, he went inside to get some breakfast when he saw Mira and Levy in the kitchen getting breakfast together. He smiled at the girls and walked up to them and gave Mira a kiss on the cheek making her smile and did the same with Levy who gained a small blush, but had a smile nonetheless.
"Morning, Naruto-kun." Levy said with a chirp.
"How was your training this morning?" Mira asked with a smile.
"Nothing like a good workout with an enhanced clone to make me work up a sweat." Naruto said as the girls looked, they could see the sweat on his exposed body and could feel their lips feeling dry and by god did he look good.
"Hmm, why don't you go take a shower and the food will be ready by the time you come back?" Levy said as she pinched her nose from the smell and not wanting to jump him during breakfast..\
"Where are the other girls?" Naruto asked curiously.
"Oh Seilah is in the library again. She's been reading about the history of the Uzumaki clan. Cana and Ur are still asleep, and Erza is in the shower I believe." Mira answered as Naruto nodded and left to go
"Well he certainly looked hot with his sweating body. I liked what I was seeing." Mira licked her lips at the memory while Levy blushed at her words, but couldn't refute it, having gotten a look at it and feel.
"Y-yes he did." Levy stuttered out her words as her eyes glazed over in memory of their night together.
"Think Naruto-kun would be up for a quickie this morning before we head to the guild?" Mira asked, making Levy sweatdrop at her desire for sex with their shared boyfriend, but than again she can't argue against her since he is quite godly with his hands and tongue.
"Damn it, Now I need a cold shower or…. Mira could help me get some release." Levy thought as she looked at the white haired model before him with half lidded eyes.
Mira saw this and gave a smirk and nodded when she quickly finished making breakfast when before long they were now making out as they moved their destination to the bedroom where they could hopefully get Naruto to join the fun.
Two Hours Later
It was nearly two hours later when they would finally finish their "activities" and get something to eat as Cana and Ur woke up and joined them for food. When they along with Seilah learned of what they had missed, they pouted at him which had an effect on him. He promised that he'd give them their time together later. They thanked him and ate. As they reached sight of the guild, they gasped at what they saw. The guild was a wreck, pillars of metals protruding through the walls and roof, the symbol trashed on the ground, the board carrying the name destroyed.
"Our guild!" Cana exclaimed in shock.
"What happened?" Erza said in a surprisingly quiet anger.
"W-who did this?" Levy stammered in shock.
Seilah, Ur and even the Biju (Who were watching through the seal) looked at the building in shock while Naruto glared at what happened to their guild.
As for Naruto, he was releasing his chakra that was being mixed with Biju chakra giving it a dark purple glow as his body shook from anger.
"Naruto-kun, calm down, please," Mira said in a pleading tone, feeling her lover's anger.
" Who did this…?" Naruto asked silently, his voice distorted.
"It was Phantom Lord," A voice said right next to them. The group turned and saw Lisanna walking towards them with a sad look on her face. "They attacked our guild during the night." She said with a frown as she looked at her damaged home.
"Where is everyone at? Was anyone hurt?" Mira asked her sister with concern.
"Everyone's in the basement. Master will tell you everything." Lisanna said, with everyone accepting her response, wanting to know who had the balls to attack their home.
Lisanna led the group to the basement where everyone was at and they could just feel the tension in the air and how somber that they were feeling. Some were more angry than anything when someone noticed Natsu and Gray looked more angry than anything else.
"Come on, gramps, they need to pay for destroying our guild." Natsu said angrily as flames came out of his mouth briefly.
"That's enough Natsu, they merely destroyed an empty building. There's no reason to get upset about it." Makarov waved him off.
"We should go over to them and kick their asses." Natsu argued, wanting to beat their rivaling guild.
"We aren't doing anything or I will punish you in Minato's place. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to pee." Makarov left the bar, leaving the dragon slayer as the group arrive.
"Where's my dad? He should be here, right?" Naruto asked, wondering where his parents were.
"They're gone for the moment. They're reporting this to the council and Master left the Third in charge for the time being." Gray said just as angry as Natsu, but he could understand why he didn't retaliate since no one got hurt.
"Why did Phantom Lord attack us?" Ur asked in curiosity.
"Fairy Tail and Phantom Lord are rival guilds," Mira replied as he looked at Ice-Make Master. "For as long as the two guilds existed, they've been competing in terms of popularity."
"Che, we're way better than them," Natsu grumbled. "But Gramps and the old man are being chickens."
Suddenly, Seilah whacked him on the head, sending his face on the table.
"Don't talk that way about Naruto's father," She said sternly.
"It pains me to admit, but the old man is right. If we retaliate, it could cause a guild war, and a war between Fairy Tail and Phantom Lord could cause serious damage." Cana said with a sigh.
"Is Phantom Lord really that strong?" Lucy asked with wide eyes.
"Well, old man Makarov and Master are formidable mages, with gramps being one of the Ten Wizard Saints himself." Gray said. "But Phantom Lord's guild master, Jose Porla, is also one of the Ten Wizard Saints."
"Not only that, but their S-Class mages equals ours," Erza said as she crossed her arms. "The Element Four and 'Black Steel' Gajeel, their Iron Dragon Slayer."
"A Dragon Slayer?" Lucy said in shock as she looked at a sulking Natsu. "Just like Natsu?"
"I am way better than that Gajeel!" Natsu exclaimed in anger.
"We also have Naruto-kun, Seilah, me, and Kushina-san who are all S-class themselves. We can't forget about us four." Ur added, getting nods from them.
"From the iron rods, it seems Gajeel was the one who attacked us," Erza said before she had a thoughtful look on her face. "But still, why did they attack us? Our guilds may not get along, but we never escalate to this."
"For now, we just have to be careful," Levy said.
"Everyone should be in groups, in case something else happens." Mira suggested.
"Good idea, Mira," Makarov said with a nod, returning from the restroom. "I'll inform the others."
Later that Night
Everyone had done as Makarov said and people had started grouping up for the night. Levy told her two teammates that she was staying with Naruto for the night along with Seilah, Ur, Cana, Mira, while Lisanna, and Elfman asked if they could stay with them for the night, which was fine with him. Erza along with Natsu, Gray, and Happy were staying with Lucy.
"Alright, do you guys have everything you'll need for tonight?" Mira asked her two siblings who nodded.
"I think so, Mira-nee." Lisanna said as she did one last look to make sure she had everything.
"We're good to go nii-chan. Are you sure Naruto is okay with us crashing there?" Elfman asked his girls, wanting to make sure that it was okay.
"It's fine Elfman, Naruto has more than enough guests room for you and Lisanna-chan. He already said it was okay, so don't worry about it." Mira assured her brother who nodded with a smile.
"Alright, we're ready to go. Let me carry your things, I'm a man after all." Elfman declared as Mira and Lisanna giggled and Levy sweat dropped at his antics, alreadybeen used to it.
They left and started making their way to Naruto's house and were making small talk with each other.
"So, sis, how are things going with Natsu?" Mira asked her sister with a wink who blushed at her wods and gave her a small glare.
"Things are fine Mira-nee, but he's been getting glances from a certain celestial spirit mage." Lisanna giggled along with Mira who knew what that was like.
"So she's kind of interested in Natsu, huh? Oh, I like it. Maybe we can talk to her about it." Mira suggested with an excited grin on her face while Levy face palmed her face.
"Oh brother. I feel bad for Lucy with you two planning something like this." Levy said in a groan feeling sorry for her close friend.
"I don't know how I feel about hearing this from everyone, but can't help, but feel pity for him." Elfman muttered to himself as he groaned at the conversation he was listening too.
No one noticed a shadow figure approaching them from a rooftop who had a large smirk on his face as he watched them walk under a bridge as he jumped down. .
"Iron Dragon's Club!"
His entire arm changed to an iron club as he smashed it into Elfman's head who crashed into Mira knocking them both unconscious from the impact into the wall, leaving a terrified Lisanna and Levy.
"Mira-nee, Elfman-nii!" Levy shouted as she wanted to go check on her siblings, but they had someone to deal with.
Levy quickly wrote something out with her fast writing.
"Solid Script: Lightning!" The word lightning appeared in front of her and went towards their attacker who dodged it
Gajeel appeared in front of Levy and kicked her in the face as Lisanna used her takeover magic to change into a more catlike appearance and swiped her claws at him, but she wasn't fast enough as he kept dodging her strikes.
He got behind her and punched her in the back of the head. She righted herself and went in for a kick to his face. He ducked under it and changed his arm into a club and slammed it into her stomach making her cough up saliva as she crashed into the ground and changed back to normal, showing she was unconscious.
Levy got back up and saw her friend had been taken out and knew she didn't have a chance against him, but she quickly wrote several words in front of her at a blur pace.
"Solid Script: Lightning, Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire!" She wrote as each words appeared and went towards the Dragon Slayer as it hit him creating a dust cloud, but a large pole went through it and slammed into her body, making her cry out in pain as she landed next to the others as she started losing consciousness.
"Hehe, weak fairies, but the master said to give them a message, so that's what I gotta do." Gajeel said with a smirk as he approached the group of mages.
Morning broke the serene town of Magnolia while everyone at Lucy's apartment was sound asleep. Suddenly, a series of knocks on the door started waking everyone up.
"Who is it?..." Lucy mumbled drowsily as she sat up on the bed and rubbed her eyes.
"Lucy, it's me, Cana!" cried the familiar voice of the expert drinker. "Something terrible has happened!"
Erza groggily sat up as well and looked over at the clock. "It is still so early…" The S-Class mage sighed as she requip her usual Heart Kreuz Armor and walked over to the door. "Coming Mira..." Erza pulled the door open. "Good morning..."
Everyone woke up fully when they saw the sad and angry look on Cana's face and quickly got up to face the girl. "What happened, Cana-chan?" Gray asked, concerned.
Cana grabbed Erza's hand and pulled her out of the door. "Come with me...something happened last night."
"Cana!" Erza exclaimed as she was pulled away by her fellow harem sister. "Where are we going?!"
Natsu, Happy, Lucy and Gray quickly followed behind, Lucy was still a bit drowsy from being woken up so abruptly, but the cold morning wind and sudden tension cleared her mind. It was still quite early in the morning so the streets were relatively empty, but there seemed to be a crowd gathered at the town park.
"Lucy, what's going on?" Natsu asked as he pointed over to the crowd.
Lucy, along with the rest of her team, all stood in shock as they looked up at the four people who were hanging on the large tree by their hands. "L-Levi-chan?..." muttered Lucy as tears welled up in her eyes.
"M-Mira?!" Erza shouted as she looked at her friends Cana clenched her hands tightly and gritted her teeth on seeing their conditions.
Natsu had fire burning in his eyes as he gripped his fists in anger. "Elfman...Lisanna!." He shouted to his girlfriend.
Gray's eyes widened when he saw the symbol labeled on his friends' torsos. "Phantom Lord..." growled out the Ice Mage through gritted teeth.
Erza's gauntlet was straining against her arm guards as she tried to suppress her rage. "Damn them..."
Six very peculiar and powerful magical signatures appeared behind the group, and they looked back to see Makarov, Naruto, Ur, Minato, Kushina (With the two just getting back into town) and Seilah making their way toward the scene. Makarov's and Minato's faces were void of emotions as their eyes remained glued to their fallen children. Makarov was wearing his Ten Magic Saints jacket as his magical aura flared, reminding everyone that he was the most powerful Mage in Fairy Tail. Minato was wearing his Jonin outfit and his white cloak that had fourth guild master on the back. Kushina had on her Shinobi gear with her sword strapped to her back as well along with Naruto who was wearing Anbu gear that was blue instead of white with a fox mask on his belt and a large sword strapped to his back.
"Mira-chan, Levy-chan. Elfman, and Lisanna-imouto." Naruto said in a demonic voice. Matatabi, Chomei, and Kurama were roaring at what they were seeing.
"Kill them! Make the ones who did this suffer for hurting your mates and her siblings!" Matatabi was enraged at what happened to them.
"Let me devour them, Naruto. I may not care for ningen's much, but they're family and we look out for our own." Kurama was all for what his sister was saying.
"Normally I'm not one for violence, but they're right. Go after them now and show them what happens when you mess with family!" Chomei shouted in agreement with his siblings.
"It is one thing to attack our empty guild..." Minato muttered as he held his fists tightly. "...but to ambush four of my children, that draws the line." Natsu, Erza and Gray, all looked over at the Master in question.
"THIS IS WAR!" Kushina roared to her the group here, her hair floating behind her like tails shocking them, but Natsu and Gray agreed wholeheartedly.
"Makarov, I'm going to need you to stay at the guild and watch over it while we handle things at Phantom." Minato told the Third who nodded, seeing the logic in it.
But before anything could be done, Naruto, Seilah, and Ur were gone in a blur courtesy of Naruto grabbing the two and using the Shunshin.
"They're heading there now. We gotta catch up to them before Naruto does something he'll regret." Erza understood her boyfriend's anger, but didn't want him to go too far.
"Go after them, Erza. They've got a head start on us." Minato said.
"Let's go then. We'll take a handful with us while the rest prepare the guild for a response." Kushina said as everyone nodded.
"Natsu, Gray, Erza, Alzack, and Bisca, you're with us on this one. I want Lucy, Max, and Cana to watch over the injured." Minato said seriously, going into his Hokage Mode as everyone did as told.
"And that's a wrap for the chapter. I hope it was to everyone's satisfaction. Just so everyone is clear, this is before Phantom Lord attacks, so the craziness will be starting in the next chapter. Stay safe everyone, KillerSSGRed out!
Harem: Mira, Levy, Cana, Erza, Ur, Seilah, and Juvia.
