Acnologia's Tale

Chapter 5-Phantom

Naruto woke up with a loud yawn and looked up to the sky. It was early dawn... yay... not. Even after four hundred years Naruto was still not a morning person even if he was one of the most powerful beings in the world. Standing up Naruto stretched his limbs removing the stiffness in them before looking around. Seeing as he was in the same cave he had basically dismembered Dākuaian and made medicine with his body he shrugged.

This wouldn"t be the first time he had been put in a situation like this so it didn"t faze him. Naruto looked at Dākuaian"s skeleton and and then turned to the crate"s filled with potions made from the dragon"s body. Naruto waved his hand and the crates disappeared into a pocket dimension for where he stored various items over the centuries. He should probably drag everything out and get a look at what"s inside. It had been a long time since he had used Requip so there was bound to be some things he had forgotten about within the space.

Naruto then looked at the dragon and with another wave it too disappeared into the pocket dimension. He had already been paid for his job by killing the beast so he had no need to return to the town he had gotten the money from. With nothing else to clean up or store away Naruto began walking while trying to take as much time to return to Fairy Tail as he could. He actually had a eerie feeling as if something had happened so with that thought on his mind Naruto vanished before he reappeared outside the guild.

What he saw made his blood boil. Yes he didn"t like Fairy Tail much but this place had treated him with respect and had allowed him to stay for seven years... it had taken him in and treated him like family, something he had wanted for a long time now, and they never mistreated him. Throughout the building large beams of iron and steel stuck out through massive holes making the guildhall almost like a pincushion. He knew that by the smell of the metal it was the Iron Dragon"s spawn that did this. He would never forget a scent like that of a dragon"s... oh he was in for the punishment of a lifetime when he got to him.

Naruto walked into the building and was almost immediately blocked by a metal beam. With a low growl Naruto bit into the beam and began to eat his way through it until it had been broken into two parts. With it out of the way he made his way downstairs. He wouldn"t say he was surprised to see everyone there because he wasn"t. With all the damage done to the upper levels it was a given that they would have to move to a safer location. Naruto saw Makarov sitting in a corner leaned up against the wall holing a mug of beer in his hand.

Naruto swat the mug out of Makarov"s hand gaining everyone"s attention, especially Makarov"s as it was his alcohol that had been thrown away. Naruto then reached down an grabbed the short man by his shirt and lifted him into the air "Ok old man tell me what and the hell is going on? The second I get back I see the guildhall trashed by that iron prick Gajeel"s Iron Clubs and nobody doing anything about it. Now explain to me why we aren"t at their doors ready to fight?" Naruto demanded.

Makarov sighed "Ok... first set me down I am the Master and this is something that could get you kicked out. Second you know we can"t due to the inter-guild non-aggression pact. As much as you all would like to go fight for vengeance you should know that nobody was hurt as the guildhall was destroyed at night. Thirdly this place has been falling apart for the better half of a century so with a few nails and a couple extra planks she"ll be good as new." Makarov said to the dragon slayer. Naruto sat him down as ordered and pulled out the money before handing it to the old man, but not without taking his cut from the payment.

Makarov nodded his head at all the money. With it he could build a brand new guildhall and still have a bit left over so this was a better payment than most others. The sound of footsteps coming down the steps reached their ears before the blonde Second Generation Dragon Slayer Laxus walked down the steps. Laxus used to act like a spoilt brat due to the fact Makarov was his grandfather, and his dad had been excommunicated from the guild when he was young, but a quick asswhipping from Naruto had set him back on the track he once was on. He led his own team of S-Class mages that called themselves the Thunder Legion and they held up to their reputation rather well.

Following after Laxus was Freed a powerful Swordsman that used a combination of Rune Magic and Dark Ecriture Magic to make powerful spells. After Freed came the only female of the group, and unknown to everyone there was another lover to the ultimate dragon slayer, Evergreen. Evergreen used a combination of Fairy Magic, Eye Magic, and Letter Magic which had earned his interest and in the end they had become secret lovers. She was followed by the final member Bickslow, a very powerful Black Magic user who used Seith Magic which was basically Human Possession Magic and Eye Magic called Figure Eyes to fight. All in all a very powerful group of wizards indeed.

Laxus waved at them "Yo... what"s up." he said to them. Everyone waved back at the dragon slayer and his group while they continued about their day. "Yo what"s up with the guildhall ya"ll throw a party with an ironing rod or something?" Bickslow asked them. "Yes I too would like to know what happened to the guildhall?" Freed asked them. "Gajeel happened." Naruto said to the swordsman. "Really? huh I thought for sure it would have been you considering that you use the same magic as him." Laxus said as he walked over to his fellow dragon slayer with a mug of beer in his hand.

Naruto shook his head "Nah I myself barely got back from my own job before you came down." Naruto said while some of the others nodded in agreement. "Well we might as well continue to work nothing can be said or done by sitting around." Makarov said. This made everyone get up, including Nab who was still looking at the Request Board, to look at the jobs before they all scrambled to get one and get busy. Naruto walked by the beauty and tapped her twice on her side signalling for her to follow him.

Walking out of the guild Naruto placed his hand on her shoulder causing the two of them to disappear, only for them to reappear in his bedroom. Naruto was suddenly pushed up against the wall and felt Evergreen"s lips against his as she kissed him roughly. Naruto"s hands traveled down to cup her rear end gaining a moan from her. Pulling away from the kiss Evergreen panted while Naruto looked down at her lust filled gaze. Naruto couldn"t think about much more because she latched her lips to his own once again.

Deciding to go with the flow he grabbed the base of her dress and pulled hard enough to make it rip in two. With her now naked, with the exception of a very lacey thong, he could begin his fun. Evergreen removed his cloak allowing it to drop to the floor leaving him barechested and wearing only a pair of pants. He never saw the use of wearing underpants as they would be removed when one needed to take a shower when they got dirty during the day. Evergreen pulled away from the kiss and pulled her thong down to reveal her wetness to the dragon slayer before she grabbed his pants and basically ripped them off his body.

She then gripped his c**k and began slowly stroking him and he groaned at her soft touch as she lightly brushed her palm against his balls. Evergreen purred in delight at how strong and powerful his member felt as she pumped Naruto"s erection and leaned close to his testicles before teasingly starting to lick on them. Chills of pleasure ran down Naruto"s spine and his toes curled as she rubbed his length while simultaneously stirring her tongue on his balls.

Evergreen grinned at the pleasured smile on his face and she slowly began blowing on his testicles as she hungrily eyes the head of his member. She began planting tender kisses against the tip and licked against it. Evergreen enjoyed the taste of Naruto"s hardness before she decided to up the ante by smothering her breasts together on it. This caused the dragon slayer to finally moan in pleasure as she started to work on his tower with her large orbs.

She continued to rub him for about a minute before Naruto told her to stop. Looking u at him she was clearly confused "What"s wrong Naruto-kun?" she asked him. On the bed now." he told her. Evergreen complied as she went over to his bed and laid down. She was glistening with arousal and it was easily seen by Naruto. Laying over he he looked into her eye"s "Shall we begin?" he asked as he prodded her crevice with his tool. Evergreen nodded her head and then felt him enter her body which earned a hearty moan from the busty woman.

Evergreen perky orbs heaved while she wrapped her arms around Naruto"s neck as his erection shot into her walls and rubbed her warm, slimy innards. Evergreen kept her legs wrapped around Naruto as he held onto her and her breasts floundered against his chest as his steely erection slammed into her p***y she bucked her hips. Naruto panted as he pummeled his hardness into Evergreen"s womanhood and she moaned again as he cupped her orbs. He held them up and kissed Evergreen"s breasts and this only served to make her warmth tighter on his swollen pride.

Naruto smirked at this as he started licking her t**s while pumping his erection into her warmth and he massaged them. Evergreen moaned as her hard t**s were massaged and licked at by the silver haired dragon slayer while she thrust her wetness onto his c**k in return. He rubbed her orbs together while circling her buds with his thumbs while he kissed her and her dark brown eyes looked into his celestial blue ones and their eyes reflected the love and lust they felt for each other.

Naruto squeezed and caressed Evergreen"s mounds as he rocketed his c**k against her walls. Both their moans were dripping with lust as their hips worked in sync while his erection plummeted into her womanhood as she held onto him as dearly as she could. They licked the insides of each other"s mouths as they closed their eyes and the silver haired man gripped her hard t**s. Evergreen mewled at this while Naruto banged his hardness against her heavily aroused walls and her toes cringed from his mighty impacts that banged against her womb with each thrust.

He thrust his c**k up into her walls and fondled her breasts before separating lips to lightly bite into her right mound making her whimper at the pleasure this brought her. Evergreen moaned again before her face carried a truly lustful expression as she knew that with the vibrating Naruto"s manhood was doing, it wouldn"t be long before he came and thanks to his groping and his merciless pounding, she knew it wouldn"t be any longer for her as well. Nonetheless, the two continued working sweating forms together to pleasure one another.

Naruto surged his member into Evergreen walls and as he pounded his cannon into her wet folds, he felt his balls growing tighter and he gritted his teeth as she began licking his neck. He groaned as her tongue lathered against his neck before she started grazing her teeth on him before shivering in pleasure as her wetness slid down his c**k. Naruto caressed Evergreen"s jiggling breast as he pushed his hardness into her tunnels and he squeezed her plump ass.

She moaned as she nibbled on the man"s neck before she formed a hickey and licked at his throat just before her womanhood wrapped around his length just before he spewed his hot semen into her body. Evergreen"s eyes nearly threatened to roll out of her skull as she smiled in ecstasy at Naruto and he stood up to allow her to pull herself off his c**k before resting on the bed panting as she caught her breath before the two of them were going at it once again, this time Evergreen holding onto the bed as Naruto held onto her hips and thrust into her p***y from behind.

Evergreen held onto the bed as tight as possible and her arms wobbled in pleasure while Naruto sent his manhood jerking into her p***y and she pushed her hips backwards in synch. Evergreen"s huge breasts heaved back and forth with Naruto"s hammering thrusts being the main cause as their hips dueled for dominance of speed. Both of them panted as their hips worked against each while Naruto held onto his lover"s hips as he rammed his manhood into her core that tried to milk him with each thrust.

Naruto groaned while Evergreen"s plump ass smacked against his waist while he thrust into her. The silver haired male let go of the woman"s hips and cupped her ample breasts to knead them as they jiggled. Evergreen moaned as her breasts were groped while her lover"s c**k jetted deeply into her warm walls of flesh. Naruto rubbed the jiggling orbs together before Evergreen reared back and her back touched the dragon slayer"s chest. Evergreen turned her head just enough for her to plant her lips against his again and he returned the kiss.

Cerulean eyes locked with chocolate ones while Evergreen trailed her finger under his chin and he smiled as he thrust forward into her. Naruto slammed his length into Evergreen"s womanhood while she somehow still managed to pit her hips against his despite his unnatural speed and his inhuman stamina. The pair"s tongues explored each other"s mouth as they made love and Naruto circled his finger on Evergreen"s cheek while endlessly groping her heaving mounds. Evergreen moaned into the kiss as she felt how strong the friction was between them as Naruto"s pummeling crotch smacked heavy into her ass and he couldn"t be happier.

Evergreen began assisting Naruto in kneading her heaving t**s together as Naruto pounded into her fiery core with raging speed and she accepted his length as it jetted into her. Her inner tunnels grinded Naruto"s c**k as he plunged it into the hot walls, which tightened thanks to Naruto and his lover groping her breasts together. Evergreen"s entire face went red as Naruto"s member slammed into her and the pair still carried on with kneading her breasts together as they rapidly heaved back and forth. Evergreen gritted their teeth together tightly as she felt her orgasm approaching with each thrust the powerful man did.

The dragon slayer licked Evergreen"s neck as he deeply pounded into her wetness and she whimpered while still rutting her hips back against Naruto with him jetting his c**k into her warmth. With a final movement of both their hips, Evergreen"s womanhood constricted around Naruto"s length and milked it enough for it to fire the latter"s seed into her womb. The two panted as Naruto released Evergreen"s breasts, letting her fall onto the bed. Naruto lay down next to her and ran his fingers through her hair, which was something Evergreen loved.

Evergreen looked up at Naruto and smiled at him before sitting up to give him a quick hiss on the lips before she pulled the covers over them and the brown haired woman drifted off to sleep. Naruto however stayed awake due to the fact he wasn"t tired at all. Sure the s*x with his any one of his lover"s was amazing, but they all tended to pass out after two or three orgasms which was a lot by many peoples standards except his. If Fairy Tail was going to fight then he needed to get a few reinforcements, and not his redheaded she-devil he called a ex-girlfriend she"d destroy everything before she got to him. That made him shiver. Irene was not a woman you pissed off and got away from unscathed.

Naruto silently crawled out of bed, got dressed, and went to the kitchen and grabbed the Communication Lacrima. He quickly thought of his lover Ultear, the spy on the Magic Council and a spy inside Grimoire Heart, and called her. "Hello." Ultear said into the orb. "Hey Ultear." Naruto said to the orb. The image of the lovely time wizard appeared in the orb "Hey Naruto-kun what"s up?" she asked her lover. "I need you to come to Fairy Tail. Things are about to go down and we"re gonna need all the help we can get." he told her. "Oh... well I guess I could free up my schedule for a little workout... for a price." she said with a lustful look in her eyes.

Naruto rubbed his nose knowing just what she wanted "Fine, fine you"ll get it just get your scrawny ass to the guild." he told the woman. "Ok, ok I"m on my way. Keep the bed warm for me." she said. "Bed"s occupied currently." he said to the orb getting a curious look from Ultear "Oh is it that redheaded she devil you keep going on and on about?" she asked him. "HELL NO!" he said to the orb loudly. Ultear laughed for a few seconds "I"m just kidding Naruto-kun no need to yell. Although I can"t help but wonder why you don"t." she said in a thoughtful tone.

"Yeah not like I find sleeping with my own ex-girlfriend"s child a sexy thing either. Besides I have her mother I can always go to for some fun if I want a redhead." Naruto thought to himself before he scowled at the orb. "You know I think I"ll also bring in that vixen of a woman you call mother as well. I always did like a threeway between family... well when I have a mother and daughter in my bed." Naruto said to the orb. Ultear laughed again "You know my mom won"t allow it. Hell she hardly ever gives you the chance to get in her own pants let alone the both of ours." Ultear told him.

Naruto smirked at her "I know, but that"s what I like about her she plays hard to get and I like the chase." he replied. "Well I have to let you go I"ll be there in a couple hours so be ready to receive me. Love you." Ultear said to him. "You too Ultear-chan. See ya soon." he told her and they hung up. Naruto loved all his lovers equally so he never belittled one over another as they were all precious to him in their own ways. Naruto then made another call "Ur-chan you there?" he asked the orb again.

This time a voice similar to that of the time wizards answered "Uh duh who"d you think I was?" she asked him rhetorically. "Uh my beloved Ice-Queen." he replied to her. He saw Ur smirk at those words "I always was the coldest of the cold so that"s nothing new. Anyways what do ya need from lil ol me?" Ur asked him. "I need you to come to the Fairy Tail Guild. Things here are about to get real ugly and I have a feeling I"m gonna need all the help I can get. Oh and bring that dumbass you call a student who is currently trying to hide behind the couch to come with you." he said as a white haired teen popped up from behind the sofa Ur sat on.

"Dammit how do you always find me like that?" the teen asked as he sat beside his teacher. "It"s because you"re predictable, and if you"re predictable you are sloppier than you think. That and the sofa is Ur"s only piece of furniture big enough to hide you." Naruto said to the teen. "Well we all can"t be perfectionists like you now Naruto." the teen said before Ur pushed him off the couch with her foot. She then looked at the crystal "We"ll be there but you know what I want when we get done right?" she asked the man.

"Yep a full body massage. And trust me I"ll get all the deep spots for ya Ur-chan." Naruto said to her. "Well not just that but I want a couple of those Ice-Make spells you have hidden away, I want several of those." Ur said as the teen gagged in disgust. "Oh please don"t start with the s*x talk while I"m still in the same room as the two of you." the teen said as he sat back on the couch. "Oh like you"re one to talk. At least I don"t mutter the name Sherry in my sleep every five seconds." Ur said as the teen now sported a bright blush on his face from embarrassment.

Ur then looked at Naruto through the orb "We"ll be there soon so don"t wait on us alright. Also tell that other student of mine he"s going to get some more training in when we get there. See ya soon Naruto-kun." Ur said and with a wave the two disappeared. With his phone calls done Naruto crushed the orb in frustration before he sighed. He looked back at ever and then with a sigh he stood up to go retrieve a broom to clean up the broken Lacrima. Naruto quickly, and quietly, cleaned up the mess before he went to the kitchen to make a meal for him, and Evergreen when she woke up from their lovemaking.

It was at this time somebody knocked on his door. Turning off his stove so his food wouldn"t burn naruto quickly went to the door and opened it, only to see Natsu, Gray, Lucy, Erza, and Happy standing there. He scowled "Ok who died?" he asked causing them to all face fault. Natsu stood quickly "Nobody we all came to your place because it"s the safest. Besides- Natsu didn"t get to finish as a scent entered his nose *Sniff* *Sniff* "Is that food I smell?" he asked. Gray sniffed the air this time as well and nodded in agreement before the two of them rushed past him and into his house where they quickly located his kitchen.

The two dragon slayers were both sitting at the table with silverware in hand ready to eat. Seeing this Naruto"s eyebrow twitched in annoyance before a memory surfaced "If you two don"t get out of my kitchen and into the living room we"re going to go training until you drop." he said, and almost as if the two had never been there they vanished into thin air leaving the silverware they grabbed to hover a few seconds before they fell on the table with a clatter. Naruto nodded in satisfaction and went to his living room to see the group sitting around the place as if they owned it.

"Ok now can one of you tell me the reason why you all decided to come to my house of all places in Fiore?" h asked as he placed his arms across his chest. Natsu looked at his fellow dragon slayer "Well it"s because we"re going to need all the help we can get, and gramps said we need to stick together incase one of us gets attacked." he told Naruto. "Yeah and besides nobody ever attacks a Wizard Saint and gets away unschathed moreso when it comes to you." Happy said in agreement.

"Wait seriously I thought he was one of the weaker Wizard Saints." Lucy said. "I may be one of the weaker ones, but I can give all of the higher ranking Wizard Saints a hard time in a fight. It"s not about how much power one has, but how they use that power that makes them a Wizard Saint. A few years ago the First Wizard Saint was killed because he was nearly cut in two and the source of his power was ripped from his body." Naruto said and this made the blonde bombshell, and all the others pale, at what he had said. "Wait... somebody was able to kill the First Wizard Saint?" she asked where Naruto nodded his head.

"Yep. His body was nearly ripped in two and the eight Dragon Slayer Lacrima in his body were stolen. Where they are I don"t know due to the fact that they are worth a lot of money and they could be in any place in the world getting used by anyone right now." Naruto said. He was lying. He knew what had killed the man, it was him, and taken the man"s Dragon Slayer Lacrima, again him, and where the Lacrima were located, once again him and they were located throughout the continent of Ishgar in various Dragon Slayers that could use the power"s better than that man. Well... besides the Cavern Dragon and Primordial Dragon Slayer Lacrima as they were destroyed when he got them.

They hadn"t known the First Wizard Saint was a dragon slayer. Did that mean there were other"s besides Naruto, Natsu, and Gray out there. "Wait the First Wizard Saint was a dragon slayer?" Gray asked. Naruto nodded "Yep, and all eight of his Dragon Lacrima were stolen, and once again I don"t know where they are." he said to them. "Ok how strong does a guy have to be to take down the First Wizard Saint?" Happy asked. "I don"t know but I reckon they have to be pretty powerful, catch him by surprise, or overwhelm him in combat." Erza said.

"Or all three." Gray said to which Erza nodded in agreement. Naruto heard Evergreen stir up in the room and stood up "Look I got to go do some things I"ll be right back." he said as he rushed upstairs. Naruto went inside his room to see Evergreen sitting up with the blanket covering her modesty as she looked at him "What"s wrong Naruto-kun?" she asked him. "We have company. You can"t leave by going downstairs, and I really don"t want to explain to the others as to why you"re here." he said while the woman nodded in agreement. "So teleport." she said as he nodded.

Evergreen picked her thong up and put it back on before Naruto threw her one of the dresses she always left incase of emergencies, kinda like this one, where she quickly put it on and gave him a quick kiss before he made her vanish with a wave of his hand. With Evergreen gone he had a better chance of getting away with her being over and not being fou-"So why was Evergreen in your room?" Erza"s voice asked from behind him. Ok... maybe not. Naruto turned to face the redhead and shrugged "That is for me to know and for you to want to know. Now why did you follow me up here?" he asked in return.

"Because I was curious as to why you got spooked so easily. I never would have thought you would have had a thing with Evergreen going." the redhead said. "Well don"t blab your mouth or else I"d have to train you a bit more in the ways of swordsmanship." Naruto said as Erza turned pale at the thought of training with the blond. She nodded her head showing she understood and Naruto left her standing there nodding her head. Walking downstairs Naruto went back to the kitchen and continued to cook his meal so he could eat.

Meanwhile with Team Shadow Gear

Later that evening Levy was quietly kicking up dust as she walked down the street with Jet and Droy arguing behind her. Her thoughts continued to drift to how her guild, her home, was close to being nothing more than rubble and nails now due to the attack. "Hey Levy!" Jet called out to the blunette. The blue-haired girl was shocked out of her thoughts as Jet"s yell reached her ears. She looked back "What? Sorry, I wasn"t listening Jet." she told him with a small laugh.

The fastest member of Shadow Gear grit his teeth and started his argument again "I asked what do you think is gonna happen after the crap Phantom pulled doing this? They gotta pay for doing this in the first place, right? They should be punished! Suspended or something!" Droy shook his head "They won"t suspend Phantom we all know it. They"re one of the oldest guilds in Fiore. They"re gonna avoid causing a major stir up and try to handle this matter quietly and under the table." he said and although he looked angry but kept it in control. "They"ll probably just foot them the bill and make them pay for the repairs or something." he said.

"That"s not good enough!" Jet snarled angrily. "They need to pay for what they"ve done! We can"t just sit here and do nothing guys." he yelled. "Y"know Jet, it wasn"t just your guild it was all of our friends" guild too!" Droy got up in his friend"s face with an equal ferocity as the speed user. "Try to think about the rest of the guild before you start shooting off your mouth like that man! Besides this will soon be resolved and there is nothing we can do about it." Droy said.

"Guys stop it please!" Levy begged as she pushed them apart and got between them both. She looked up at her friends with a gloomy tint in her eyes, "We can"t argue with each other! That"s not gonna help us in any way! So stop!" she told them. Jet and Droy looked down at her and back at each other before stepping away. Levy"s arms fell to her sides as she looked down dejectedly before she spoke. She never liked to see her friends arguing so she did her best to avoid fighting.

"I know the guild hall was our home. I"m not alright with this either. None of us are. But... we have to grit our teeth and bear it for the guild"s sake okay."she said. A small tear ran down her cheek and she whimpered "We have to stick together. Because we"re all we have in the end. We"re a family." she said. The men of Shadow Gear looked between each other as Levy wiped her eyes with a quick sob.

They tried to console her "Levy..." Jet said quietly "You"re right. We shouldn"t be fighting. Not now." he said before he smiled. "Because we"re Fairy Tail"s Shadow Gear! The best team in Fairy Tail! And we stick together through until the end no matter what." Droy said happily in agreement. Levy looked up at her partners as they grinned and nodded confidently. Levy sniffed a little and smiled with slightly swollen red eyes "Right boys" she asked them.

"Yeah we can handle anything thrown at us!" Jet gripped his fist. "Yeah! Nothing"s gonna bring us down we"re Fairy Tail which means we"re the best!" Droy agreed with a big grin. Levy looked at both of them and nodded eagerly before throwing her arms up "We"re Shadow Gear!" she cheered out. Then two large metal poles shot down from besides her shoulders and slammed the two men directly in the chest. It imbedded them deeply into the concrete and pushed them several meters through the rock and then through the wall enough to crater it.

Levy stood there, staring in horror as her shaggy hair fluttered in the sudden gust of wind. The metal poles pulled back and away from Jet and Droy long enough for them to gasp in pain before they collapsed unconscious. Levy turned around and looked up towards where the attack had occurred from. Standing on top of a building in the light of the moon was a man with wild long hair.

The metal piercings over his body reflected the light from the moon behind him. His burning red eyes pierced the darkness and his sharp white teeth widened in a maniacal grin directed at her. Levy nearly choked on her breath as she shook in fear. And the figure jumped down towards her while laughing madly. When the person landed he looked at her with a leam in his eye"s. "Well well well what do you know it"s a little fairy just asking for it"s wings to be plucked off it"s back." the man said.

Erza came out of Naruto"s bathroom with a wall of steam following her. "Alright Naruto your turn." the redhead said. "Alright thanks." he told her and entered the bathroom. with so much steam in the air he couldn"t see so he decided to open a window. When he did a familiar scent entered his nostrils. "Huh? This smell it can"t be... Gajeel..." he thought as he then dived out the window and began running down the road.

Levy bounced off the concrete and gasped in pain as she settled on the rock as she held her arm. She then struggled to lift herself up to her hands and knees while her vision was then constricted into a tunnel. The only sounds running through her ears right now were her breathing and heartbeat. Her eyes wandered and caught glimpses of Jet and Droy lying unconscious, beaten, and bloody along the sidewalk. Even after the initial surprise attack, they continued to lift themselves up and fight against their adversary when they woke up. And they held out for as long as possible.

She was proud of them. But... This man was ruthless like a monster. Levy heard the man speak again "Is this seriously all you Fairy Tail weaklings can do? f**k me man, whoever thought you guys were equal to us must have been smoking some serious s**t for that to happen. If this is all to expect from you then I"m pretty sure I could beat everyone in your guild with my hands tied and blind in one eye." he said to her.

Levy struggled to stand on her feet before flinching and clutching her possibly broken ribs. She took rapid and uneven breathes before she started writing in the air. Her Solid Script activated as she wrote FIRE into the air. The letters immediately changed into the element and spread out towards the attacker until he was engulfed in fire. But when the flames disappeared, it revealed him standing there with shiny metal skin and unmarked by her flame attack. He smirked with a toothy grin and held his arm out until a long metal rod extended from his hand and struck her directly in the chest.

Levy felt a massive wave of pure agony spread throughout her entire body until she let out one last moan of pain and passed out on the street. Her eyes fluttered a few more times until they closed as she fell unconsciousness. The figure walked out of the shadows and stood over his defeated pray. He was a man with long, spiky black hair and metal piercings over his face and arms. He wore a black vest without sleeves to show off his muscular and scared arms to his foes. His teeth had unnaturally sharp canines and his eyes were red like blood.

On his right shoulder was the guild tattoo of Phantom Lord. He was known as the "Black Steel" Gajeel Redfox, Iron Dragon Slayer of Phantom Lord. Gajeel sighed disappointedly before groaning out "Well, I had my fun..." He walked over and stood over Levy"s unconscious form. "Time to send the message I guess." he sighed. He didn"t like to necessarily hurt people, but he was under orders from Jose which meant he had no choice in the matter. He moved his foot under her stomach and flipped her over on her back. He bent down and ripped her shirt open to reveal her bra and bare bruised stomach. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small container of dark colored body paint.

He took a clump of it on his fingers and started spreading it over the unconscious girl"s stomach. After this, he had to put them somewhere Fairy Tail will notice them and get the message where they would then come seek vengeance. He grumbled "Stupid f*****g ass plan. What the hell was that i***t Jose thinking when he told me to do this? I can barely draw s**t. I know I ain"t no artist and if he wanted me to leave a message for them then I could"ve easily wrecked the rest of their guild hall or-" he trailed off as a familiar scent reached his nose.

Gajeel stopped halfway making their insignia before something caught his attention. There was a strange yet familiar scent that was in the air. Something he was very accustomed to and would never forget. The same smell he noticed when he entered his room when he went to bed... The smell of a dragon. Gajeel"s eyes opened up widely as he ducked his head immediately to avoid a burning kick that was aimed at his skull.

He kept to the pavement and slid away from his attacker before looking back up. The person standing over the unconscious blue-haired girl had his entire fist covered in what appeared to be red fire, with his eyes peeking out of his silver hair and glaring at the Phantom Mage. Gajeel realized who it was and smirked "The Slayer of Slayer"s I"ve been waiting a long time to meet you for a long time." he said to Naruto.

He received no answer though as Naruto just dashed forward at the black-haired man standing across from him. Gajeel smirked and started to bounce on his feet in excitement as Naruto swung a kick out at his head. Gajeel leaned back while feeling the heat of the red flames that covered his foot and caught said foot before spinning around and tossing him down the street.

Naruto gripped the concrete and then slid along it in time to look back up and see Gajeel ready to smash his head in with a iron club. He blocked Gajeel"s heavy strike with his own ironclad arms with a loud *Clang* before trying to sweep his feet out from under him. Gajeel simply jumped over his attack before attempting to knee his face only to be met with Naruto"s palm. They pushed off each other and glared at one another before jumping forward with their fists pulled back. Naruto brought his fist down into Gajeel"s cheek while the Iron Dragon Slayer dug his fist into the blonde man"s gut.

The two then jumped back and Naruto"s fist burst into black iron "Tetsuryū no Go Ken (Iron Dragon"s Hard Fist)" the silver haired man called out as he threw a punch at Gajeel. Gajeel"s hand then became covered in hard metal "Tetsuryū no Tekken (Iron Dragon"s Iron Fist)" he called out as he threw a punch at the man. Their fists impacted and a loud explosion was created as the two powerful attacks negated each other.

Naruto came flying out one side and bounced off the concrete before grunting and finding his footing to stand again. The dust started clearing and Gajeel was standing very far away before he started running in the opposite direction "I know you wanna keep this going my friend, but I was told to leave the moment one of you losers came charging! So I"ll see ya later!" Gajeel said and disappeared out of sight.

Naruto looked at Team Shadow Gear before he growled, sending a look back to Gajeel"s retreating form, before he shook his head and ran back to his friends" side. He gently lifted her back and shoulders, "Levy-chan! Levy-chan, come on wake up!" he said before he looked at Jet and Droy " Jet-baka! Droy-teme! Come on dammit!" he roared out. "Naruto?!" Lucy"s voice called out through the night. He looked up to see Gray, Natsu, Happy, Erza and Lucy come running down the corner still dressed in their PJs.

They stopped, Lucy covering her mouth in horror as Erza looked at the scene in shock. She narrowed her eyes "What happened to them?" she asked the blond "We need to get them help first!" Naruto said as he looked to Happy, "Happy, go get Master! Tell Mira! Tell everyone! Go now!" he ordered the cat. Happy flew away "R-right!" the blue cat called out. Lucy fell to Levy"s side and started crying over her, "Levy-chan. Oh god no who could have done something like this to you?" the blond cried. Erza and the others continued to stand there in silence as she gritted her teeth and clenched her fist.

The next morning. Lucy and Mira were sitting in the hospital room with Levy, Jet, and Droy. Lucy hadn"t moved from Levy"s side the during the entire night and bags had started to form under her eyes from crying and lack of sleep. A teacup was lowered into her sight and she looked up to see Mira with a sad look on her face. She comforted her "You need to drink something. You"ll only be hurting yourself if you don"t keep up your strength." Mira said to her.

Lucy looked at the cup and took it before just resting it in her lap. The young blonde"s shoulders started to shake before Mira bent over and wrapped her arms around her in a comforting hug. The door to the room then creaked open and got the girls" attention. Master Makarov stood in the doorway silently as he stared at the room. He slowly walked in before jumping up on the side of the bed. He looked down at Levy, and then looked over at Jet and Droy, before back down at Levy. He spoke softly "How are they doing?" he asked.

Mira pulled her arms away from Lucy before fixing her dress, barely able to keep tears from leaving her own eyes. She took a deep breath before she answered her best answer "They...they were all beaten badly. And they"ll be unconscious for awhile probably a couple days at least a week at the most. We think they were ambushed, from what Naruto had told us. It could"ve been worse but..." Mira started to trail off as her voice started to break and she tried to calm herself down.

Makarov didn"t wait any longer before he jumped off the bed and walked out of the room slowly. He silently walked through the hospital before emerging out of its doors and into the daylight. Standing all around the hospital, swarming the street outside the building their friends were healing in, was everyone in Fairy Tail. They were all just standing patiently and looking towards Makarov as the door closed behind him quietly.

He lowered his eyes and spoke loudly "I was fine with them destroying our guild. It was just a building that we could have easily rebuild and fixed up. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn"t truly harm our guild just by wrecking a building as that is what it is... a building. But this..." Makarov said. His voice became fueled with an edge of anger like never before "They attack our family. They beat and ridicule them. Because of what? They want to fight? They want to prove they"re still the strongest in all of Fiore? Fine. We wanted to avoid this fight, but if they think for one second that it was a smart move to provoke us by hurting our friends, our family, then they"ve got another thing coming to them. If Phantom wants a war..." Makarov growled out.

Makarov"s magic then flared to its highest point as it surrounded him in a golden light as he roared "THEN LET"S TEACH THOSE BASTARDS WHY f*****g WITH FAIRY TAIL WAS THE WORST DECISION THEY COULD HAVE EVER MADE IN THEIR LIVES!"

The guild members roared in agreement.

There were no more thoughts about negotiations.

There was no mercy.

If Phantom wanted a war with Fairy Tail...

Then they just gotten one.

It was now time to cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war.
