The Demon Eyes in Fairy Tail

A large explosion came from a gigantic castle with metal legs that was standing in front of the Fairy Tail guildhall. "They managed to destroy Jupiter!" Macao shouted now wearing a white open coat, his hair was now slicked back, and he had grown a stubby beard, he had an eyepatch above his left eye. Everyone from Fairy Tail let out a cheer. While they were pushing back some shadow phantom creatures.

Meanwhile inside the castle aka Phantom Lords guild hall, Natsu who now was wearing a black west, baggy white pants and his usual scarf, landed among some rubble, with a blue cat next to him that was his long companion and best friend, Happy. And another man landed on top of some rubble in front of Natsu. He was a young man with long, two-toned hair of black and white tied into a Japanese-style top knot on the back of his head, with the black portion overlaying the front and the left side of his head, leaving the smaller white portion concentrated on the left, he has three horizontal black bars markings passing across the ridge of his nose and both cheeks in a linear formation. His clothing consisted of a ninja-like attire consisting of a long, orange reddish gi with reddish fur on the collar, and the sides being made of thick fishnet and some fishnet on his arms, he had a simple shirt under his gi, and he was wearing a pair of loose black pants, he was also wearing a simple pair of black boots. This man was Totomaru a member of the Element 4 of Phantom lord.

"Incredible…" Totomaru muttered in awe at Natsu's power as the Jupiter canon was destroyed.

"Listen here pal. Fire ain't gonna listen to people telling it what to do. It responds to your heart's will." Natsu said slamming his fist into his palm.

Outside of the castle. "Not bad there Natsu!" Macao said with a smirk.

"Without Jupiter, we'll manage things somehow!" A young woman standing next to Macao named Laki said. Laki is a slim young woman, she has pale lavender hair set in a bowl cut-like style, with her fringe covering the left part of her forehead, her eyes are brown and they have a simple pair of glasses over them, and she has a dark red ribbon on the top of her head. Her clothing consisted of a light-colored coat reaching down below her waist, she was wearing a dark red tie around her collar, she was dressed in tight-fitting dark pants tucked inside light-colored boots.

"Now's our chance to push them back!" Cana said with her magic cards in her hands. "Wipe out the enemy!" She shouted to which everyone let out a war cry.

Meanwhile deep inside the castle in a place that looked like a command center, with some hooded people bearing the Phantom Lord mark using some magic circles, while in the center of the room sat a man on a throne. It was Phantom Lords master Jose. He was a tall slim man with long straight black hair reaching down to his shoulders and he had a thin mustache. He has got a long sharp face, vaguely pointed ears, prominent eyelashes and dark-collard lips. His clothing consisted of a flamboyant coat with a high collar, he had two prominent wings similar to bat's on his back, he also had a wizard saint medallion around his neck with two light ribbons falling down from it. "The bratty children got their spunk back. Start up the giant." Jose said with an evil smirk on his face.

Back with Natsu, Happy and their opponent Totomaru. Natsu covered his fists in flames as rubble fell around him. "You can't manipulate my fire any longer! It's your turn to get blown to smithereens, Phantom!"

"Ugh!" Totomaru grunted when suddenly something began to move that made him lose balance.

Back with Jose in the command center. "Stabilizing elements!" One of the hooded people said.

"Activating lateral balance lacrima." Another one said.

"It awakens!"

On the outside, the castle started to transform while inside the castle with Natsu. "Wh-What the!?" Natsu questioned as the floor began to tilt to the side.

"It's tilting!" The blue talking cat with angel like wings named Happy said.

"They plan to do that?!" Totomaru questioned. "This area isn't laterally stabilized!"

"Laterally?" Natsu questioned.

Outside with the Fairy Tail members. "Now what are they planning?" Laki questioned as everyone stared in shock as they witnessed the castle turning into some giant robot.

Back with Natsu. "The giant has awakened! It's over for you guys!" Totomaru said with a victories smirk but then gained a confused expression when he saw our fire dragon slayer that was about to vomit.

"Natsu, hang in there!" Happy flew closer to his friend.

"No way…" Natsu muttered as he was about to hurl.

Back outside. "What is that thing? I mean, seriously…" Cana said with a look of horror as their hopes of winning seem to grow less and less.

"It's a giant… A magical giant!" A young man named Loke said. He was a young man with short orange spiky hair, he was wearing a pair of azure-tainted sunglasses. He's clothing consisted of a green coat with a wide collar with spiky white brownish fur around the hood, under his coat was an orange shirt with menacing skull on the front, he wore a pair of light dark loose pants with several pockets.

"You should grovel and beg for forgiveness, you damn kids. Then you will learn your place! Feast on despair until the end of your pitiful lives!" Jose's voice was heard.

The phantom ghost like creatures began to attack the Fairy Tail members. "The shades are coming back!" Said a young man named Alzack. He had long black hair that covered the right part of his face. His outfit consisted of a long brown poncho with tasseled edges together with a shirt and torn pants, he had a dark belt with gun holsters. And he was now holding a revolver in his right hand.

"A giant and ghosts? What are they doing?" A young woman named Bisca questioned holding two Thompson submachine guns in her hands. She had long straight green hair that reached down to her lower back, her eyes are brownish purple, large breasts, and she's wearing red lipstick. Her clothing consisted of a cowboy hat, around her neck was a polka dotted neck scarf, she had a plain blue one-piece dress, and she was wearing reddish brown boots.

"We'll concentrate on the Shades! I'm sure that Natsu will find a way to stop the giant!" Cana said thinking that the pink haired dragon slayer was one of their last hopes.

"Sure but…" Wakaba said.

"Natsu and transportation…" Macao said making everyone pale as they recalled Natsu's only weakness.

The ghosts charged at the Fairy Tail members. "Here they come!" Cana shouted bringing forth some magic cards.

Fire style: Fireball!

A large blazing ball of fire collided into the wave of ghosts wiping them out. "I always figured they would attack us eventually. The question was only when." Itachi's voice was heard as he leaped down standing in front of the others.

"Itachi! Finally, you're here!" Cana said with a grin as the hope was regained.

""Thank goodness!"" Several members said in unison and began to cheer.

Itachi looked towards Cana, Macao and Wakaba. "Where's the master and Erza?"

"They're both wounded. The master got all of his magic power drained away. And Erza tried to block the Jupiter canon." Cana replied as she and the others gained a sad expression that they were unable to help either of them.

"She blocked the Jupiter canon? She's gotten stronger then." Itachi said with a hint of pride towards Erza, and then he focused his attention at the giant. "I will go in after Jose and end this little guild war." Itachi said and leaped down to the water, and ran towards the giant.

"Who's that?" Loke questioned as he joined the guild after Itachi had left for his two yearlong mission.

"He's Erza's older brother, Itachi Uchiha. He's an S-class mage and is even stronger than Laxus." Cana replied with a grin as they all looked at Itachi who ran up the giant's leg heading inside it. "There's no way we will lose now."

Inside with Natsu. "Natsu, sheesh!" Happy said shaking the motion sick dragon slayer.

"You get motion sick? You can't eat fire as you are now. I'll burn you to a crisp with my strongest magic!" Totomaru said with confidence in his voice, as an orange magic circle formed in front of him.

"Natsu!" Happy shouted.

"I'll blow you to bits, Dragon Slayer!" Totomaru shouted when suddenly he's body got covered in ice. "Eh? What the…"

"If you're a man…fly to the heavens and become a star!" Elfman and Gray arrived at the scene, and then Elfman punched the now ice cube that was Totomaru into the sky with his beast arm.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Totomaru's voice was heard as vanished into the sky.

"You guys…" Natsu said struggling to get up due to his motion sickness.

"Too cool! Gray, Elfman!" Happy said in a cheerful tone.

"How pitiful Natsu." Gray said looking down on his so-called rival.

"If you're a man, then you should make the car sick!" Elfman shouted with his manly spirit.

"So, are these the remains of Jupiter?" Gray asked looking at the destroyed lacrima that Natsu wrecked completely.

"Aye!" Happy replied.

"Good job there." Gray complimented.

"Oh! It stopped all of a sudden!" Natsu said now able to stand without getting sick.

"I'll take a look outside!" Happy said as he flew outside and saw the giant forming a large magic circle in the air.

"Letters? No…" Alzack said while shooting at some ghosts.

"That's… No way!" Bisca said also shooting at the ghosts.

"It's a magic circle!" Laki shouted.

Itachi walked around the side of the giant and looked at the magic circle that was forming in the air. "Abyss Break. A forbidden magic." Itachi uttered having studied multiple spells through the books at the guild. Itachi knew this wasn't good and kept moving inside of the giant. As he landed inside he saw about 50 members of Phantom Lord waiting for him, all smirking thinking they had the advantage with their numbers. "Hello there." Itachi said with a small smile as they charged at him.

"At that size, we're in big trouble! Magnolia itself will be destroyed in the wave of darkness!" Loke said.

…is what they said!" Happy said to Natsu, Gray and Elfman as we were suddenly back inside the giant.

"What the heck?! I don't believe it!" Natsu shouted with an angry expression.

"We have no choice but to split up and find the power moving this giant. Well at least Itachi got back just in time to help." Gray said.

"Man… Out of the frying pan and into the fire…." Elfman said.

"Okay then, let's do it!" Natsu said.

""Yeah!""

Meanwhile at the almost destroyed guild hall where Mirajane who was inside while Cana stood outside. Mira had used her magic to changed her appearance into that of a blond haired girl with her hair tied up into a small ponytail on the right side in a blue ribbon, with brown eyes. She had changed her appearance into that of Lucy Heartfillia the girl that recently became a member of Fairy Tail and Phantom Lords target as they've been given a mission by her father to retrieve her. "Mira, how long until that magic spell activates?" Cana asked.

"About 10 minutes, I think. We have to destroy its power source somehow." Mira replied.

"Our men inside must be thinking the same thing." Cana said.

"There are people other than Natsu in there?" Mira questioned.

"Itachi, Gray and Elfman." Cana replied.

"Elfman? But why?" Mira questioned in a worried tone for her younger brother.

"Why? He also wants to…"

"It's no use! Elfman can't fight. You know that, Cana!" Mira said worried for her little brother knowing how traumatized he was after Lisanna's death.

"He can fight. He helped us when we raided them before, remember?" Cana assured with a kind smile.

"Fighting with their lackeys is one thing, but if he goes up against their big guns… As he is now Elfman can't…" Mira uttered hating the fact that she was weak now and couldn't do anything to help.

"Hey, Mira…When that happened, you, Elfman, and everyone too…we all suffered deep wounds. However, in his own way, he's forced himself to move forward. I know you realize this." Cana said trying to comfort the former mage.

"…." Mira got silent as she moved outside.

"Hey!" Cana said.

"Mira, what are you doing?" Bisca questioned.

"Don't it's dangerous!" Alzack warned.

Mira stepped in front of the giant looking like Lucy. "You people are looking for me right? Stop your attack on the guild this instant!"

"Be gone…You damn imposter!" Jose's voice was heard. "I knew it from the start! I knew that Lucy wasn't there." Jose said as Mira turned back to normal.

"Damn it…" Cana cursed.

'How powerless am I really?' Mira thought clenching her fist. When an explosion came from the giant's side making her direct her attention to the source.

At the source of the explosion where several knocked out Phantom Lord members. With Itachi standing on a pile of them holding one of them by the collar. "Will you tell me now where Jose is?" Itachi asked with his sharingan spinning around.

"H-He-He's at the control center at the top…. Please, don't hurt me…" The man said shaking in fear as sweat ran down his forehead.

"Thank you for your cooperation." Itachi said and tossed him to the side and walked towards the exit of the room.

Meanwhile with Elfman. "The man, Elfman, will protect Fairy Tail with his life!" Elfman declared running through a hallway when suddenly.

"Oui!" A voice was heard. Elfman turned around and saw a slim man sticking up from the floor. He had green hair pointing upwards, a tiny pointy mustache, a monocle above his right eye. He was wearing a brown suit with a ragged collar, over a white shirt with a red tie, and he had a short cape attached to his elbows linking them. This was Sol another member of Element 4. "Salut!"

"An Element 4?" Elfman questioned removing his coat showing his red sleeveless shirt.

Back outside. "Elfman." Mira muttered in a worried tone when suddenly a green magic circle appeared below her.

"Oh no! Mira!" Cana shouted as Mira vanished through the circle and appeared in between two of the giants claws.

"I detest girls like this who try to deceive me. Witness your friend's final moments as I crush her slowly." Jose's voice was heard.

"Mira!" Cana shouted.

"Damn it, what the hell!" Macao said.

"Mira-chan!" Wakaba shouted.

Back with Elfman. "My name is Sol! Please call me Monsieur Sol!" Sol introduced himself as he was wiggling back and forth.

"Perfect timing. I'll force you to tell me how to stop this giant." Elfman said lifting his right arm above his head. "Beast Arm! Black bull!" Elfman's arm turned into that of a black bull.

"Oh? Just your right arm? Are you sure?" Sol asked making Elfman narrow his eyes. "It seems that the rumors are true." Sol had a dark look on his face that made Eflman growl.

"I've had enough of your blabbing!" Elfman charged at Sol delivering a punch with his right arm, Sol dodged making Elfman collide his fist with the ground making it crack up.

"Didn't you have a little sister?" Sol asked with an evil smirk as he leaped back.

Sable Dance!

A lot of dust gathered around Elfman in the form of a large wind. Sol then appeared behind Elfman making Elfman swiftly turn around.

Roche Concerto!

The rubble below Elfman rose up hitting Elfman around his body. Elfman leaped back. "Non, non, non…" Sol vanished below ground and then popped out in front of Elfman with his body wrapping around Elfman's right arm like a snake. "Salut!"

"You really creep me out." Elfman said in disgust as he tried to pull Sol of his arm.

"Non, non, non…Three nons and you're in quite a sad state." Sol mocked.

"Unhand me, Monster Sol!" Elfman growled trying to push Sol off of him.

"Monsieur!" Sol corrected and unwrapped himself from Elfman's arm and kicked him in the chin.

'This guy's way stronger than he looks!' Elfman thought as he rubbed the spot on his chin.

"Speaking of which…You failed at a complete body takeover and went out of control…" Sol said with an evil smirk on his face as he leaned his head to the side.

"Enough! Beast Arm Iron Bull!" Elfman shouted not wanting to be reminded of what Sol was talking about, he leaped up in the air and charged at Sol with his right bull arm now turning into iron. But he stopped in when a clay statue of Lisanna appeared in front of Sol facing Elfman. "Lisanna!"

"I apologize. But as you were stepping on me previously, I read the gap in your memory." Sol said.

"Why you…" Elfman said gritting his teeth in anger over the fact that Sol was using the memory of Lisanna as a weapon against him.

"What a precious little sister of yours. I wonder where she might be now? Oh, how rude of me. She's buried in the cold, dark ground, isn't she? Oh, how sad… How could you do such a cruel thing?" Sol said mocking Elfman who deactivated his Beast Arm as his body was trembling.

Elfmen looked at the clay statue of his little sister when it suddenly opened its eyes with the one on the left looking like Sol's. "Elf-niichan, my brother?" The statue said in a mix of Lisanna's voice and Sol's

Elfman let out a war cry as a magic circle appeared. "Non, non, non. You can't do that. What would happen if you made a debacle of a full body Take Over, and you lost control? Did you forget what you did last time?!" Sol said as several clay versions of Lisanna popped out from the ground.

"Elf-niichan." Lisanna's voice in a mix with Sol's came from the clay's. "How cruel…How could you forget? How cruel… Why? Don't do it Elf-niichan…." The clay versions of Lisanna said in unison. And Elfman fell to his knees while trembling even more struggling to hold his tears back.

"You shouldn't try to do what you can't handle. It seems your magical power has weakened considerably." Sol said.

"You coward…If you're a man, then fight me fair and square, fist to fist!" Elfman said in a growl as he clenched his fists.

"If I'm a man, you say? Non, non, non…I cannot let that pass. Not from someone with no right to question the manliness of others." Sol said as he gathered all the clay Lisanna's into a whirl of clay. "Trash like you who killed his own little sister!"

Platre Sonate!

A magic circle was formed in front of Sol sending a fist made out of stone that crashed into Elfman sending him flying into a wall that collapsed, showing Mira in the claws of the giant right outside. "Elfman!" Mira shouted making Elfman open his eyes and look out the hole in the wall. "Elfman!" Mira shouted again.

"What? Why? Why are you there? Nee-chan!" Elfman shouted.

"Oh? So she is your elder sister? Which means she was once the feared Devil, Mirajane-sama? Lost so much of her magical power…What a pity! And who could be to blame for it?" Sol mocked Elfman who was looking in horror at seeing his sister in so much pain, and he was fill with even more guilt over what happened with Lisanna. "She is being punished for attempting to deceive us. It won't be long until she is crushed."

"Run, Elfman!" Mira shouted.

"Let my sister go!" Elfman shouted.

"You will lose your elder sister right before your eyes, just like the younger. And that is because you are an impotent wizard who does nothing but spout bluffs about manliness!" Sol said as he made a magic circle that sent pressure at Elfman. "As a gentleman, I cannot forgive you. I will give you eternal suffering. Sealing Magic, Merci la Vie! You will become one with the land, and continue to wander for eternity inside your own unpleasant memories-" Sol said when suddenly the ceiling above them collapsed onto Sol, with Itachi standing on top of the rubble with his palm placed on it having sent a surge of his own power through it to make it collapse.

"Your torturing of my friends ends now." Itachi said in a dark tone as Sol's body was covered by a pile of rubble.

"Itachi!" Mira shouted in relief knowing that Elfman would be safe now.

Itachi looked towards Mira and saw her in the claws of the giant. "I will be there soon. Just got to say something to your brother first." Itachi said and walked in front of Elfman who was on his knees shaking his eyes filled with guilt.

SLAP!

A slapping sound echoed through the area as Itachi slapped Elfman on the right cheek, Elfman looked dumbfounded as he looked up at Itachi. "Did that wake you up?" Itachi asked with a stoic expression.

"I-Itachi…" Elfman muttered and looked up to face Itachi.

"What are you doing. Do a full body Take Over and finish that clown already." Itachi said which brought shock to Mira whom didn't think Itachi would do this.

"But I-I can't…" Elfman muttered out of fear of going berserk again.

"Look out there! Your sister is in danger! And here you are doing nothing! Are you that afraid to use that form that you're even willing to see Mira die?!" Itachi scolded Elfman, and it was for his own good, Itachi was trying to make Elfman get over what happened and try and learn and control his power.

"Non, non, non… That's no good interrupting me like that." Sol got up from the rubble about to attack Itachi.

"Shut up." Itachi said with a stoic expression and punched Sol so that he flew across the room.

Itachi went back over to Elfman. "Didn't you vow that you would never see your sister cry? Well she's crying right now." Itachi said making Elfman widen his eyes and look over at Mira who had some tears running down her cheeks. "I know that you're scared that what happened to Lisanna is going to happen to Mira because of your full body Take Over. But you have grown so much stronger since back then. You won't fail again, this time you have help with you." Itachi said and stretched his hand out and gave Elfman a friendly smile. "So, how about it. Go beat up that bastard that made Mira cry." Elfman grabbed Itachi's hand and was pulled back up while letting out a powerful glow.

"It's true, I vowed never to see my sisters tears again!" Elfman said as the light became more powerful.

"That light. No Elfman don't do it!" Mira shouted. "Itachi stop him!"

"You underestimate your brother. He's stronger than you give him credit for." Itachi said.

"Who was it that made her cry?!" Elfman shouted.

Sol got up from the rubble. "Damn that Demon Eyed Itachi. Huh?" Sol looked over to Elfman. "It's impossible! You are not capable of doing a full body Take Over!" Sol said as he stepped back when the light intensified. "Incredible!" Sol said when the light died down revealing a beast with horns, sharp teeth, long arms with claws, the beast was covered in thick fur, his hair has become more like a mane, dark hooves, and spikes that looked like the horns only they were on his shoulders. "O-Oh, my… That's!"

"A full body Take Over. Beast Soul!" Mira said as Elfman let out a mighty powerful roar.

"Non, non, non!" Sol was sweating and shaking out of fear. "With non of three, you misunderstand me! I, Monsieur, gave you such a harsh trail for you to finally overcome your difficult past, bonsoir! You are indeed a man among men, Elfman! I Monsieur, believed you could overcome it! Right? Well then, if you'll excuse me…" Sol slowly backed away trying to escape, but then Elfman swung his arm at him sending him flying in the air. "How dare you!"

Platre Sonate!

Sol send a huge fist made out of stone that crashed into Elfman. "Non, non, non… Don't let your guard down now." Sol said and then froze when the giant beast that was Elfman appeared behind him and slammed his fist down on him repeatedly while Sol kept saying. "Non! Non! Non! Non! Non! Non!" Elfman kept punching him until Sol looked so beat up that he got knocked out. Sol's soul appeared to be flying out of his body but Elfman grabbed it and pushed it back inside the body. "Non, at least let me fall unconscious!" Sol cried as Elfman lifted him up and kept punching him.

"Elfman!" Mira shouted trying to make Elfman stop and get him back to normal.

Itachi leaped over to Mira. "Sorry for being so late."

"Why didn't you stop him!?" Mira questioned in an angry tone.

"Don't worry he's fine. He's in complete control." Itachi replied activating his mangekyou sharingan making two spectral skeleton arms appear around. Itachi used them to force open the claws of the giant holding Mira, and then lifted her up bridal style. "Anyway are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. But are you sure Elfman's okay?" Mira asked in a worried tone.

"Why not ask him yourself?" Itachi said as him and Mira turned their attention to the hole in the wall where Elfman in his beast mode stood. "Don't you think that's enough games? You're making her worry over nothing." Itachi said making Elfman back up a bit and his pupils were suddenly visible from the once pale beasty eyes

"Oh, um, sorry nee-chan. You must have never wanted to see me like this again. Because I wasn't able to control it, Lisanna… But now I have become strong enough to protect you and Fairy Tail!" Elfman said holding his fist up to his chest. Itachi leaped back to Elfman with Mira in his arms, when he put her down she instantly went over to hug Elfman.

"Lisanna's death wasn't your fault. You were trying your best to protect us both back then." Mira said as Elfman turned back into his normal self.

"But I failed. Lisanna died." Elfman said in a depressed tone.

"But I'm still here." Mira said with a comforting smile as she tightened her embrace.

"Nee-chan…"

"We decided together remember? To live on in her stead. To work as hard as we could." Mira said still hugging Elfman.

Tear began to run down Elfman's cheeks. "Nee-chan! I'm so glad you're all right!"

Mira had stopped hugging Elfman and looked at him with a smile. "And how is crying going to help anything?"

"But!" Elfman cried.

"Thank you Elfman…" Mira said and then noticed Itachi was over with the unconscious Sol.

SLAP!

Itachi slapped him awake. "Tell me how to get to the command center." Itachi said in a dark tone with his sharingan spinning.

"It's at the head of the giant." Sol replied looking like he was hypnotized.

"Thank you, now go back to sleep." Itachi said and Sol fell unconscious again and Itachi walked past Mira and Elfman and looked out of the hole in the wall. "Just as I thought."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Mira asked.

"Look at the giant. What's different about it now?" Itachi said making both Mira and Elfman look at the giant and then they noticed that the process in making the magic circle has slow downed.

"It's moving slower." Mira pointed out.

"Yes, it seems the Element 4 are the key of stopping it. Take them out and it will stop." Itachi said.

"Ah! Elfman how many of the Element 4 are left?" Mira asked.

"Um let's see um… That'd make two left, I guess?" Elfman replied recalling that Totomaru and now Sol had been defeated.

"You guys and the others will deal with the element four, I will go after Jose." Itachi said and leaped out of the wall and worked his way up to the giant's head.

"He's right, let's hurry! The other two are bound to be somewhere inside the giant!" Mira said.

"R-Right!" Elfman said as they rushed their way further inside the giant.

Itachi was running up the side of the giant. 'Attack my guild hall fine, but when you attack my guild mates like master Makarov would say. You better except a war!' Itachi thought when he felt a stabbing pain in his chest making his eyes flinch a bit. 'I better also go to that old hag with the herbs once I'm done here.' Itachi thought as his sickness had gotten worse since he left two years ago.

Down with the others. "Thank goodness… It looks like Mira's safe." Cana said then she fell to her knees and let out a deep sigh of relief.

"Cana!" Macao shouted.

"I'm fine." Cana assured. "Focus on the enemy in front of you and protect Fairy Tail!"

"You don't know when to quit…" Macao said and dodged one of the ghosts and punched it with his fist covered in a dark blue flame making it vanish.

Cana threw some magic cards with lightning and fire at a few ghosts making them vanish. "Everyone, don't clump together! Spread out and fight!"

""Right!""

"Oh yeah, where's Loke?" Laki questioned.

Alzack reloaded his revolver. "He said something worried him, so he headed to that place."

"Say what? He skipped out?" Wakaba questioned.

"If Abyss Break is cast, then that place wouldn't be safe either." Alzack replied referring to the place where they decided to keep the new comer Lucy Heartfillia safe.

"I see…" Laki said.

"He has good intuition." Alzack said.

Meanwhile inside the giant with Natsu. "I just thought of something good, Happy!" Natsu said as he ran through a hallway with Happy flying next to him.

"What?" Happy questioned.

"If we beat up Jose, then that'd end the fight, right?" Natsu said with an excited look on his face.

"What are you saying? Jose is just as powerful as our own master! Someone like you could never beat him, Natsu!" Happy pointed out.

Natsu let out a small pout. "But Gramps isn't here, so who else is gonna?" Natsu was really determined to fight someone strong, to prove himself as the strongest.

"Natsu, you idiot. I was trying not to think about it, but you made me remember!" Happy shouted remembering now that Makarov and Erza were out of the playing field, then there weren't anyone left to face Jose.

"Wha-?"

"That's right…Master's gone…Erza's gone…No matter what happens in this war, in the end Jose will- Wait Itachi is here! That's right! He could defeat Jose!" Happy shouted in relief as hope once again was regained in the blue cat's eyes.

"Hey what about me?!" Natsu questioned with an angry look thinking Happy would at least have a little faith in him.

"You are nowhere near Itachi's level! Itachi is stronger than Erza! And you are weaker than Erza!" Happy shouted back at Natsu pointing out the painful facts to Natsu.

"What was that?!" Natsu shouted with flames coming out of his mouth as they kept running through the hall until they reached a room, when a wave of wind flew towards Natsu. Natsu dodged by jumping up in the air but he fell on his head when he landed.

"The sorrow!" A whirlwind appeared in the middle of the room. When the wind vanished it revealed a tall large man with tanned skin, he had his eyes covered by a blindfold. His clothing consists of a large loose open green coat sporting with white edges also with a wide collar, under his coat he has a yellow shirt which is more like a robe which almost reaches down to his feet, he has a large red neckless composed of several crosses linked together by small beads and in front of the neckless is a small red blindfolded skull. This man was the leader of the Element 4, Aria. "The wings of flame, clipped…Falling to the ground…Ah, and all that's left is the corpse of a dragon!"

"Ah?" Natsu questioned with thick marks on his head while clenching his fist as this guy was really starting to annoy him.

"Natsu, he's one of the Element 4!" Happy warned.

Aria looked up so that you could see tears running down his cheeks. "My name is Aria! I'm at the top of the Element 4! And I have come to hunt me a dragon!"

"A wind wizard. I'm already used to you guys." Natsu said.

"Erigor's nothing compared to him!" Happy warned.

Meanwhile with Gray. Gray crawled up from a broken window when he noticed it had begun to rain. "Was it raining before?"

"Drip, drip, drop…" A voice came from behind him to see a young slender curvaceous girl with blue hair, midnight blue eyes, snow skin complexion. Her blue hair was long and tightly curled at the base. Her clothing consisted of a sapphire blue coat, a cream colored furry trimmed navy blue shawl with a pure white doll like thing attached to it, and a Russian Cossack hat. She carried a pink umbrella with heart symbols on it. "Yes… Juvia is the rain woman, one of the Element 4." Juvia said in third person. Drip, drip, drop…"

"You're one of the Element 4?" Gray questioned using his cool dark expression.

"I never would have thought that two of the elements would have been defeated. But do not underestimate Juvia and Aria." Juvia said.

"Sorry to break it to you, but I don't go easy on people who hurt my friends. Even if they're women or children…" Gray said with a dark cool expression.

They stared each other down for a while. When suddenly out of nowhere Juvia blushed and turned around and began walking. "R-Really? Juvia gives up then! Goodbye!"

"Whoa there! What the heck?" Gray questioned with his eyes popping out while he was gaping.

Juvia walked with her hand over her chest. "What is wrong with Juvia? Why is my heart beating like this?"

"Wait, you! Stop the giant!" Gray shouted running after her.

"Juvia wants to make him her's! Juvia can no longer hold back!" Juvia said stretching out her hand.

Water Lock!

Gray was now surrounded by a ball of water. "Ugh!" Gray grunted in pain from one of his injuries he suffered when they first attacked Phantom Lord.

"Oh, no! He is injured! Whatever shall I do? I must release him quick, or…" Juvia started to freak out having no desire to hurt this man she had just met. Then suddenly Gray turned the water around him into ice and broke free. "He escaped from Juvia's water lock using his own power? This is the power of an ice wizard… Exquisite!" Juvia stared in awe at Gray. 'Water and ice. It's like we're bound by fate! I've finally found you, Juvia's prince!' Juvia thought getting lost in her own imagination.

"Trying for a surprise attack, you bastard!" Gray said as unlike Juvia he viewed her as an enemy.

"Kyu!" Juvia responded still lost in her own imagination.

Gray began to take his shirt of. "Ouch!" Gray uttered as he felt the pain once again from his injury.

"Why is he stripping? I-I-I think we should take things more slowly…" Juvia said with hearts in her eyes as she was ogling Gray's body.

"I don't want to frighten a woman, but you'd better surrender immediately. Otherwise you're going to get hurt!" Gray said bringing his hands together forming a light blue magic circle.

Ice Make: Lance!

Gray shoot out several lance spears made out of ice that pierced Juvia. "Juvia's body is made of water. Yes… Drip, drip, drop…" Juvia's body restored itself with water making Gray widen his eyes in shock. "That's right… He's an enemy. Torn apart by strife, that is their tearful fate! But Juvia will not lose heart! Farewell, my small blossom of love!" Juvia formed a blue magic circle.

Water Slicer!

Sending jets waves of water at Gray who dodged by jumping to the side, the waves then sliced a pillar made out of steel. "High powered water jets can even cut through steel. Underestimate water, and you will regret it." Juvia said.

Ice Make: Battle Axe!

Gray made a large battle axe of ice and sliced it at Juvia's waist but to no avail as it just went right through her body that put itself together again. "Try again and again, but nothing will change. Against Juvia, physical attacks are ineffective. Yes… Drip, drip, drop…"

"She's a though one…" Gray muttered trying to think of a way to beat her.

"You cannot defeat Juvia. You still have a chance to save yourself. Bring me Lucy Heartfillia, please. If you do, I will ask my master to withdraw." Juvia offered.

"Hey, don't give me that crap. We're both already way past the point of retreating. And Lucy is our ally! I'll give up my life before handing her over to you!" Gray declared.

Juvia dropped her umbrella in shock. 'Give up his life? A love rival!' Juvia began to freak out. "What pain! What harsh fate! My heart… My heart feels like it's going to rend asunder! It hurts!"

"What's the matter? Are you ill?" Gray asked completely oblivious to the situation.

Juvia gained a dark expression. "Juvia will not forgive. Lucy shall not be forgiven!" Juvia said boiling with rage.

"Huh?" Gray tilted his head to the side in confusion as he was taken aback. As Juvia sent a wave of water at Gray. "Ouch!" Gray grunted in pain as the water was so boiling hot that steam came from him. "Boiling water? And why are you mad at Lucy?" Gray questioned to which Juvia sent another wave of boiling water at Gray.

Ice Make-

Gray dodged the wave of water but it then changed direction and went back towards him, Gray dodged again by jumping up in the air. "It's fast! My Creation Magic can't keep up!" The wave of water came back making Gray leap to the side. He slipped in some water almost making him fall of the edge. "That was close…"

"Ever since Juvia was born, she's lived within the rain. In the rain, there is no one who can defeat Juvia!" Juvia formed a magic circle that let out a huge amount of boiling water. "Be boiled inside Juvia's jealousy!"

Juvia shoot several waves of water at Gray making him leap back from each one of them. "What?" A wave almost hit Gray but then.

Ice Make: Shield!

Gray made a shield of ice above him to block the water, but due to the immense heat it was slowly melting away. "What incredible heat! I can't stand it!"

"I told you already! Inside the rain is Juvia's world! No one can defeat Juvia!" Juvia said when suddenly a wave of steam covered where Gray was and when it cleared it he was gone. Juvia walked up to the spot to see a broken window. "He used the steam as a smoke screen? He's not just a pretty face, he's smart, too. So amazing…" Juvia said with a small blush.

Gray ran inside a hallway. "I don't have time to take a break! I've got to stop that magic quick!" Gray stopped dead in his tracks when he spotted a familiar face. "I-Itachi?" Gray questioned blinking seeing his friend.

"Oh, Gray." Itachi looked at Gray with a stoic expression. Suddenly water came from the window above them flooding the room. "That's hot! My skin is burning!" Gray said when they were shoot back out like a geyser with Itachi whom looked surprised.

"This is the end for you!" Juvia said and shoot a wave of water at Gray.

"Why you…" Gray slammed his hands into the boiling wave of water.

"He jumped straight into the scalding water?!" Juvia said in shock.

"Freeze!" Gray said and slide down the water wave freezing it into ice and eventually freezing Juvia.

"U-Unbelievable! Juvia's boiling water has frozen! Not only that…" Juvia said as we could see through the ice that Gray's hand was groping Juvia's breast. 'Blush…'

Gray began to freak out. "N-No! This isn't what you think…!" Gray shouted with a blush Itachi looked at this scene with a raised brow.

'Juvia is so embarrassed! Inside your ice forever like this…' Juvia thought.

"Sorry!" Gray removed his hand making the ice around her vanish.

Juvia fell to her knees. 'He freed me from the ice? Why? He's so nice!'

"L-Let's start over!" Gray said.

"No… Juvia really can't hurt you after all…" Juvia said.

"Huh? You're admitting you can't beat me?" Gray questioned completely oblivious to Juvia's feelings, Itachi on the other hand noticed this and looked at Juvia and then back to Gray.

"Is she one of the Element 4?" Itachi asked looking at Gray whom had almost forgotten Itachi was here, and Juvia now noticed this man as well.

"Yeah, which is why I'm a little confused as to why she's surrendering so easily." Gray replied rubbing the back of his head, Itachi then noticed Gray's injury.

"And that injury, how did you get that?" Itachi leant in closer.

"H-Hey it's no big deal, I got it when we first attacked Phantom." Gray said backing a little away from Itachi as he didn't want to feel pain from anyone touching his wound.

"B-Boys love!" Juvia suddenly screamed having completely misunderstood the situation as her imagination started to run wild. "M-Might not be too bad…" Juvia uttered with a smile on her face that made Itachi and Gray pale a little.

"I think you are misunderstanding…" Itachi uttered.

"Yeah definitely, both he and I actually prefer women." Gray uttered and when Juvia heard this she suddenly regained her desire to claim Gray as hers.

"Juvia is stronger than Lucy. Juvia can protect you." Juvia said.

"Protect me…? What for?" Gray questioned.

"W-Well, because… I-I… uhh… l-like…" Juvia muttered with a blush.

"Is it me, or is the rain getting heavier?" Gray questioned as the rain started to pour down even more.

"Juvia is frustrated!" Juvia said.

"Man, this rain is gloomy…" Gray said.

Juvia froze as the word gloomy echoed through her head, she then fell to her knees. Her anger remained oblivious to Gray although Itachi noticed.

"What's the matter?" Gray questioned.

"Oh dear…" Itachi uttered to which Gray looked at him with confusion.

"This man… is the same as all the others…! You're no different after all!" Juvia boiled in anger.

"What the…?! What happened?!" Gray questioned.

"I think you somehow hurt her feelings…" Itachi replied and Gray kept looking confused.

'Love doesn't matter to Juvia anymore!' Juvia thought sending a wave of water at Gray and Itachi.

'I'll just freeze it again!' Gray thought concentrating his magic power but nothing happened. 'It won't freeze! Is it hotter than last time?!' The wave of water was then divided in half as it went around Gray and Itachi whom held out a sword made out of lightning.

"Love doesn't… Love doesn't matter anymore!" Juvia shouted in rage remembering all the times people called the rain gloomy and how everyone bullied her for it as a child. "Juvia is nothing but a gloomy rain woman! But Phantom Lord accepted her despite that! Juvia is an Element 4! She's a Phantom wizard!" Juvia then turned her body into water and charged at Gray with her face shaped inside the water.

"I refuse to let Phantom beat me!" Gray shouted freezing the wave of water but Juvia leaped out of the wave. "Stand back Itachi! I got her!" Gray shouted.

"I wasn't planning on interfering." Itachi pointed out with a stoic expression.

Juvia widen her eyes in shock when the rain itself turned into ice. "Even the rain has turned to ice?! What powerful magic!"

Gray slammed his fist on the floor.

Ice Geyser!

Gray sent a geyser made out of ice freezing Juvia in midair, the ice then broke as Juvia fell. 'I lost. It's all over now… Juvia will fall to the ground and splatter, like a raindrop… A fitting end for a rain woman no one wants or needs… Farewell, gloomy me…' Juvia thought and was just about fall to her death when suddenly she felt someone grabbing her hand. She opened her eyes and saw Gray holding her.

"Don't let go! Don't you dare fall!" Gray said almost about to fall himself but was pulled up by Itachi, and Gray pulled Juvia up.

"Why did you help Juvia…?" Juvia questioned.

"Dunno. Just get some rest." Gray replied.

'Why…is he…?' Juvia thought.

"So? Have you cooled down any?" Gray asked bringing tears to Juvia's eyes.

"Huh?" Juvia questioned when she felt sunlight shining in her eyes, she looked up and saw the rainclouds fading away. "The rain… it stopped…"

"Oh! The sun's finally out!" Gray said with a grin.

"So this is the blue sky… I've never seen it before…" Juvia said in awe.

"You haven't?" Gray questioned. "It's pretty nice, huh?"

"Yes… It's beautiful…" Juvia replied.

"So, we gonna go at it again?" Gray asked with a smile.

"Juvi!" Juvia squealed and fainted with a blush on her face and with a smile on her face.

"H-Hey" what's wrong?! What's going on?! Say something! Hey! Hey!" Gray shouted.

"I think you might have gained a fan, Gray." Itachi smiled letting out a light chuckle, to which Gray only looked confused, and the giant started to move even slower.

"Anyway, I will keep going for Jose. You should try and find the remaining Element 4, Aria. I will see you later." Itachi said and infused chakra to his feet and ran up the castle wall side getting closer to the top.

""Gray!"" Mira and Elfman shouted in unison having just arrived.

"Elfman! Oh, Mira too?" Gray said.

"So she's the third Element 4, huh?! Why does she look so happy…?" Elfman questioned as they all stood over an unconscious Juvia.

"Dunno. Maybe she's having a nice dream or something?" Gray replied.

"Only one left!" Mira said.

"Huh?" Gray questioned.

"Itachi found out that we can stop Abyss Break if we defeat the Element 4, and there is only one left." Mira replied.

"Really, he was just here he could have told me that much." Gray said with a sigh as he looked up to see Itachi running on the castle wall side. "Well, guess he's the only one of us now that could beat Jose." Gray said.

"It turns out this spell and the giant are powered by the members of the Element 4." Elfman said.

"There's still time! We can make it!" Mira said to which they both nodded.

Meanwhile, Aria was standing over a slight beaten up Natsu. "It's over, Salamander. I shall give you the same suffering as Makarov." Aria said and appeared behind Natsu with his hands raised.

Airspace: Ruin!

Two magic circles formed on Natsu's sides sending a wave of pressure. "AAAAAAHHHHHH!" Natsu screamed in pain.

"So sad! Inside this airspace, all wizards are completely drained from their magic!" Aria cried while Natsu continued to scream in pain.

"I-I'm losing…my strength…!" Natsu muttered.

"Natsu!" Happy shouted.

"Damn it!" Natsu cursed when suddenly Aria was kicked in the chin by Erza who arrived at the scene.

"Erza!" Happy cheered.

"H-Hey… Should you really be moving around in your condition?!" Natsu asked to which Erza turned around and she did not look happy.

"Erza's mad!" Happy shouted as he and Natsu hugged each other in fear.

"Did he do this to our master?" Erza questioned referring to Aria who's now standing up.

"Erza Scarlet, huh? How sad. Not only will I have the Salamander's head, but Titania's as well…" Aria said.

"I take it you're the one who messed with our leader." Erza said glaring daggers at the Element 4 leader.

"Erza…" Natsu uttered in awe.

Aria let out a chuckle having stopped his crying act. "Against Erza, I'll have to fight seriously too!" Aria removed his blindfold.

With Gray, Mira and Elfman. "His eyes?" Gray questioned.

"Yes." Mira replied.

"What about 'em?" Gray questioned.

"Aria normally has his eyes closed. Keeping them closed apparently holds back his overly powerful magic." Mira explained.

"Are you kidding me?" Elfman questioned.

"Whatever happens, if we find Aria, we have to beat him before he opens his eyes! If he opens them, we could lose our only chance at victory…" Mira said as the two young men looked shocked that someone could prevent their chances of victory by just doing that.

"So is this Aria guy like Itachi with his eyes?" Gray asked.

"No, Itachi's eyes have far more power from what he told me. If Itachi finds Aria he would be able to beat him. But we can't wait for that to happen, we must beat him before…" Mira said when suddenly the magic circle began to glow.

With the other Fairy Tail members. "What the?"

"It's glowing!"

"Is it completed?!"

"Damn! Is this the end of the line…?!" Wakaba questioned.

Back with Erza. "Come, Titania… I'm casting Zero, the airspace of death…! This airspace consumes the life if everything inside it!" Aria let out a powerful wind around him.

"This is bad!" Happy said holding onto Natsu's scarf so that he wouldn't be blown away.

"A spell that consumes life, you say? How? How are you people able to take others' lives so easily?!" Erza said and brought out a sword.

"Now let's have some fun…" Aria said with his eyes glowing red.

"Erza!" Natsu shouted.

Erza charged at Aria. "Can you withstand this airspace?" Aria questioned while Erza just ran through the airspace and began to cut it with her sword. "Impossible! You've cut through my airspace?! Wait?"

Reequip: Heaven's Wheel Armor!

Erza changed her clothing into a plated armor that covers her chest, with a large metal flower over it, she now had a large billowing skirt that has metal plating in the upper area, her stomach and neck are uncovered, and she has large metal wings that are made of individual blades, and she now had a wing-like headpiece. Then a huge amount of swords appeared around her.

Blumenblatt!

She charged at Aria and sliced her with the two swords in her hand and flew past him, and send all the other sword at him at the same time. Aria fell to the ground defeated.

"She beat him with one hit!" Happy shouted in shock.

"Erza really is dangerous!" Natsu shouted in fear.

"Our master will never be done in by the likes of you. Strike him from your list of triumphs this instant." Erza said with a scary expression.

"S-So sad…" Aria muttered.

Outside with the Fairy Tail members. "Should we duck?!"

"Ducking won't help anything!"

"What are we supposed to do?!" They all questioned when the magic circle suddenly vanished.

"Huh…?!"

"Oh!"

"The light went out!"

The giant then began to stop. Back inside with Natsu, Happy and Erza everything was shaking. Erza returned to her normal clothing when she was about to collapse but then she felt something grabbing her on the shoulder with an arm wrapped around her. She opened her eyed and was meet by Itachi's smiling face. "Onii-san?"

"Sorry that I'm late. You've grown so strong, Erza." Itachi said with a smile of pride directed at Erza.

Back on the battlefield inside the giant with Jose. "The Element 4, wiped out by lowly Fairy Tail scum?!" Jose said in disgust at the weakness of his so-called elite.

"People beaten by scum are just scum themselves." Gajeel arrived holding an unconscious Lucy Heartfillia.

"Oh! You're back, Gajeel?" Jose said with a smirk as he still had his Gajeel around to defeat the Fairy trash.

"I brought a little gift, Master." Gajeel said and dropped Lucy.

"Oh, that was quick. How were you able to find her, Gajeel?" Jose questioned.

"Don't underestimate a Dragon Slayer's sense of smell." Gajeel replied with a wicked grin and a dark chuckle.

"She's alive, I hope. There's no point otherwise…" Jose said looking at the little rich girl that wasn't moving.

"Well, I gave her a real roughing-up, but…let's see!" Gajeel said and kicked Lucy into a wall making her grunt in pain and cough a little. Gajeel let out a little chuckle. "Looks alive to me!"

"I'd expect no less from our guild's strongest wizard…" Jose said with an evil grin. He then went to the speaker to deliver a message. "Members of Fairy Tail! Listen closely to this!"

With Itachi, Erza, Natsu and Happy. "What?" Natsu questioned as they suddenly heard Jose's voice.

"Jose." Itachi said in a dark tone.

On the speaker all that was heard was Lucy screaming in pain.

With Gray, Mira, Elfman. "That voice!" Elfman said.

"Lucy?!" Gray questioned.

"No way!" Mira said.

"We have captured Lucy. That's right. Our first goal has been achieved. That leaves us with our one other goal…Destroying all of you pathetic brats!" Jose said.

"Bastard!" Natsu growled with thick marks on his forehead.

With Jose and Gajeel. "Watch Lucy." Jose ordered. "There are a few insects inside the guild."

"And a Salamander?" Gajeel asked wanting to get a chance to prove who was the strongest dragon slayer.

"Yes. But… I'm going to make them realize there will be no more miracles. I'm going to take care of them personally!" Jose said with a dark expression.

"Damn! They have Lucy!" Natsu cursed.

"The new girl?" Itachi asked.

"Yeah, she's our new comrade." Natsu replied.

"Hn, can't wait to meet her." Itachi said while sitting down.

"What are you doing?" Natsu questioned looking at Itachi with a raised brow.

"I'm waiting. Jose is coming here, so I'm waiting." Itachi replied calmly with his eyes closed looking like he was meditating.

"Onii-san…Natsu…" Erza muttered weakly.

"Erza!" Natsu responded.

"You've done enough, just rest. You onii-san is proud of you." Itachi said with a smile.

Erza smiled and then looked at Natsu with a serious expression. "Natsu…Unleash…your strength… You still have dormant strength inside you… Believe in yourself… Be steadfast and wake it…Now is the time… Protect Lucy… Protect our guild…Go Natsu!" Erza shouted making Natsu really fired up, really.

Natsu let out a huge amount of flames that for a short time took the shape of a dragon while his roar was heard throughout the castle.

In the woods at Porlyusica's place, Makarov slowly woke up. "Natsu?"

"Makarov? How are you feeling?" Porlyusica asked to which Makarov sat up from the bed. "You still need to rest."

"And you expect me to listen to you?" Makarov questioned.

"You recovered rather quickly…for someone your age." Porlyusica said.

"I could do without that last part." Makarov said putting on his coat.

"Are you planning to go to your death?" Porlyusica asked.

"I'm simply doing what a parent should do. By the way, how comes the cure for Itachi?" Makarov asked.

"Mystogan's been dropping by with some of the herbs from time to time. As for Itachi, he hasn't brought the herbs he's found yet." Porlyusica replied.

"I see. Thanks for the help." Makarov thanked and walked out.

Back with Itachi and Erza. Itachi was sitting and waiting when he began to hear footsteps. "Itachi! Erza!" Mira's voice was heard.

"Erza! Itachi!" Gray's voice was heard.

"This place has been trashed too…!" Elfman said.

"Guys…?" Erza said weakly.

"When did you get here?" Gray asked.

"You should be lying down!" Mira said.

"H-Hey!" Elfman said and looked down to see a beaten Aria.

"Aria…?!" Mira questioned.

"Erza defeated him." Itachi said staring at one entrance waiting for Jose.

"She fought in her condition?!" Elfman questioned.

"What were you thinking?!" Gray asked.

"I never thought you'd see me in such a deplorable state… I guess I still have long way to go…" Erza said with a weak little smile.

"What the…?!" Gray questioned when a dark presence was felt.

"Ugh!" Elfman grunted also feeling the presence.

"This is!" Mira said.

"I sense death!" Erza said all with sweat running down their foreheads. Itachi sat there perfectly calm unlike them however.

"What is this feeling?!" Gray questioned.

"It's giving me the chills despite my manliness!" Elfman said.

"The air is filled with evil energy!" Mira said when a clapping sound was heard.

"Jose." Itachi said calmly not faced by it what so ever.

"That was truly impressive, my Fairy Tail wizards." Jose said now having changed his outfit into a less flamboyant one, being more militaristic. It consisted of a long blue closed coat, a belt circling his waist and by another one going over his right shoulder with the Phantom symbol on the buckle. It had golden stripes going down from the high collar, his wizard saint medallion remained on the same spot. On his left arm was a brownish cape covering it with wide golden stripes on the edges, he wore loose pants tucked inside boots, his hair was now tied into a high ponytail. "To be honest, I never imagined you would entertain me this much." Jose was letting out a huge amount of dark energy. "To think that you would destroy the Jupiter, take down the Element 4, and bring my magic giant to its knees…"

"Master Jose!" Erza said in anger.

"He's…" Elfman said.

"…Phantom's master?!" Gray finished.

"So much evil magic! Just facing him makes me feel sick!" Mira said covering her mouth.

"Now then. You were kind enough to entertain me, so I really must return the favor. Return it in full…" Jose said with an evil smirk. When suddenly a kunai flew at him, Jose tilted his head to the side dodging it. He looked towards the source and saw Itachi with his eyes narrowed and his sharingan activated. Jose gained an angry expression when blood ran down from a cut at his cheek.

"I'm your opponent." Itachi said standing up staring Jose down.

"The Demon Eyes of Fairy Tail, Itachi Uchiha, huh?" Jose said with an unpleasant expression and wasted no time and directed his right hand towards Itachi.

Jellyfish Form!

Jose send several ghost fists at Itachi. Itachi pointed his middle finger and index finger at Jose.

Element Dragons!

Itachi made five magic circles behind him that released five Chinese dragons one made out of water, one made out of fire, one made out of lightning, one made out of earth, and one made out of wind countering Jose's attack, sending shockwaves around the room.

With Lucy and Gajeel. Gajeel kicked Lucy into the wall. "Hmm, doesn't sound half bad. But there's no challenge at all…" Gajeel said.

"Y-You need to stop, Gajeel! Things will get ugly if you keep this up…!" One of the Phantom wizards said.

"Huh? But there's nothin' else to do. The master's mean, making me guard the girl while he gets to stamp out those pests…" Gajeel transformed his arm into an iron pole. "What's wrong with passing the time like this?"

"Stop! If master finds out you'll get in serious trouble too!" The Phantom wizard said but was then hit in the face by an iron pole.

"Shut up. I don't care whose daughter this is. She's Fairy scum to me. Plus, being a girl doesn't change the fact she's a wizard. She knew what she was getting into when she joined a guild." Gajeel said.

"Still, this is going to far! I don't like this!" Boze said.

"You're gonna make the master mad. He's gonna blow up." Sue said.

"I'll just put the blame on you, then!" Gajeel said with a chuckle.

""Man, you're mean…"" The two of them replied in unison.

"It's really pathetic, though. Those Fairy asses suddenly got in a tizzy after finding out she's rich." Gajeel said.

Lucy got up and let out a chuckle. "You guys really are stupid…I pity you so much it brings tears to my eyes…"

"Oh?" Gajeel questioned with an amused smirk.

"Wh-What is she thinking?!" Boze questioned.

"She's provoking Gajeel…!" Sue said.

"Phantom Lord… Ruler of the spirits, huh? Talk about ridiculous! You're not scary one bit!" Lucy said with a smile.

"Oh, you don't say?" Gajeel said with a grin and then transformed his arm into an iron pole slamming it in Lucy's gut. "You've got real guts, trying to act though in this situation. I like that." Gajeel said and transformed his arm back making Lucy fall to the ground clutching her hands over her gut. "But I don't want to hear you bluff and bluster. I want to hear you scream. I'm at a loss. I need you to scream more for me."

"Why not just get rid of me then?! You guys will be at a real loss then!" Lucy said with a smile despite all her injuries.

"Oh? Sounds interesting. Go on." Gajeel said with a grin.

"Fairy Tail will never let you get away with this. That's the type of guild your messing with! Every day you're all going to tremble in fear at the mere shadow of the most terrifying guild in the world… For as long as you live!" Lucy said still smiling confidently.

"Sounds interesting. Let's see if you're right!" Gajeel said transforming his arms into iron poles and leaped at Lucy.

"Gajeel!" Boze shouted.

"Stop!" Sue shouted.

Gajeel was about to charge when the floor suddenly exploded in flames, Natsu leaped up and punched Gajeel in the face with his fist covered in flames. As Natsu began to roar making his flames more powerful. "I knew it! I knew I smelled him!" Gajeel said with an evil smirk.

"…Salamander." Lucy muttered in a happy relieved tone.

"Gajeel!" Natsu shouted while flames violently burned around him.
