As the group was walking to the guild, both Scarlet sisters had one arm linked with each other, both were talking about the things they were going to do once Elsie joined.

Shiki: Those two seem to be getting along.

Rebecca: Well, they are sisters after all.

Natsu: (scared) Please don't remind me!

Gray: (scared) Yeah! One Scarlet was enough!

Erza: What was that Gray?

Gray: (afraid) N-n-n-n-n-nothing Erza!

Y/N: I'm just glad we're back in our time after what happened with Norma.

Rebecca: Yeah, but....

Y/N: But what?

Rebecca: What happens if that Chronophage comes here?

Lucy: (scared) That would be bad. I don't want to have my time eaten!

Happy: Yeah! No one wants to have their time eaten! Just think of all the fish I could have eaten in that wasted time!

Robo-Happy: (sweat drop) That's what you're worried about?

Erza: Relax! I'm sure that if this Chronophage does show up! We can think of something to drive it off.

Shiki: Hopefully. 

Elsie: Just be glad it only eats 50 years of Norma's time. Some planets have been reduced to empty space by one.

Y/N: Jeez, that monster really is dangerous.

Elsie: Yes! But never mind that for now! (looks at Erza) So Ezzie what do you think of having Strawberry Cake to celebrate me joining?

Gray: They even like the same flavor of their cakes, another reason why they're related.

Erza: (happy) Yes! We can each have a whole cake to celebrate!

As they continued walking to the guild, passing some of Magnolia citizens they saw that they were staring at them and whispered to one another. To Y/N, now he wasn't new to people staring at him; however, these people seemed to be giving them an empathetic look from what he could tell.

Ur: Anyone else feel it or does the air of the town seem a little off to anyone else?

Lucy: Yeah, now that you mention it.

Rebecca: And the looks they're giving us? It's not the good kind.

Gray: Did something happen while we were away?

Happy: It's not the good kind of staring either.

Erza: It feels like....pity.

Shiki: (shocked) What's up with the Guild?

The rest of the group followed his gaze and were dumbstruck. From the distance, the guild hall looked very peculiar. They couldn't see much, but from here there appeared to be large poles sticking out in random spots all over the building.

Erza: What? Why does the guild hall look so bizarre?

The group came upon a horrible sight. The sight was the guild that had large iron spears that were peppered through the three stories of the building haphazardly. The front doors were demolished, every window was broken, cracks and holes littered the walls, and even the Guild's sign and flag had been broken and thrown on the ground.

Gray: N-No way.

Erza: What's happened to it?

Y/N frowned as he stared at the damaged building. He may not have known the guild for very long, but they opened their home to him - giving him a place to eat and rest until he could get settled in on his own. He didn't appreciate someone coming in and trashing their guild hall.

Lucy: No, I don't understand...

Natsu: Our Guild... (angry) Someone did this to our Guild!

Elsie: What? Please tell me Ezzie this is just how you welcome new members.

Erza: No. But who would do such a thing?

???: It was Phantom.

The group, minus Natsu, turned around to see Mirajane standing behind them, ready to break into tears at any moment.

Gray: Are you serious?

Natsu turned to look at Mirajane with a look of pure fury.

Natsu: You mean Phantom did this?

Mirajane: We couldn't do anything to stop them. They got us good.

Y/N, Shiki, Rebecca, Robo-Happy, and Elsie were confused at this.

Y/N: Phantom?

Shiki: You mean a ghost did this?

Robo-Happy: I don't think that's what they mean, Shiki?

Rebecca: Who is Phantom?

Gray: Phantom Lord, they're a powerful guild that has an unfriendly rivalry with us. We've never been on good terms with those jerks, as you can see...

Y/N: Oh, so it's a little school rivalry.

Robo-Happy: You call that little? 

Elsie: (angry) Well direct me to them! (cracks knuckles) No one damages my sister's home and gets away with IT!

Erza: Calm down, sister. I know you're mad, but violence doesn't solve anything.

Mirajane: (confused) Sister? (turned to Elsie) You... Didn't you come here sometime ago?

Elsie: I have.

Gray: Where are Gramps and the others?

Mirajane: They're in the basement.

The group proceeded into the building and headed down a flight of stairs leading to the basement. The basement was usually used for storage but since there were iron pillars everywhere, it was the only place in the guildhall unaffected by the devastation. Though instead of the usual cheerfulness that was always there, everyone was either quiet with solemn looks on their faces or pissed off and arguing about their next move.

Y/N could even see that his teammates were disheartened too. It bothered seeing his new comrades, who were usually so lively and cheerful, in a dismayed state.

Makarov: Yo! What's up kids?! (takes a sip of beer)

Lucy: (awkward) Uh... Hi?

Erza: Sorry that we couldn't be here sooner. But our trip turned into a whole other thing.

Natsu: (angry) Why the heck are you all just sittin' around down here?!

Natsu was ignored as the old mage shifted his gaze to Y/N, Rebecca, and Robo-Happy.

Makarov: So, how did it go, yah three? Found another way home?

Rebecca: Well, you could say that.

Y/N: Master, are you okay?

Makarov: I'm fine, my boy! (hiccups) Never better!

Y/N: Right...

Erza: Master, do you not understand the gravity of this situation?

Natsu: Gramps, this isn't happy hour! (glare at Makarov) How can you be so carefree right now?!

Shiki: Do you not realize your own Guild Hall is destroyed?

Braedey: Yeah, or are the iron pillars sticking out of them a new and strange building design?

Makarov: There's no need to get yourselves worked up...It's not like it's the end of the world or anything... (takes another sip of beer)

Gray: What?

Makarov: Hmph, just goes to show you how cowardly those dunderheads in the Phantom Lord Guild really are. They struck when no one was here, is that anything worth bragging about?

Rebecca: No one was here?

Ur: A bit strange to attack when no one is home?

Mirajane: It was after everyone had already left for the night. 

Y/N: Well, that's a bright side. No one got hurt, at least.

Erza: Yes. Thank goodness for that.

Makarov: We shouldn't trouble ourselves with people who don't even have the guts to face us head on. Forget about those fools. 

Suddenly, Natsu slammed his fist into a wooden crate, putting a huge dent into it and sending wooden chips flying. Y/N was forced to sidestep the stray pieces of wood that went flying his way.

Natsu: Ain't gonna happen, Gramps! We can't just let them trash our place and get away with it!

Makarov: I'm not talking about this any longer. We'll handle job requests down here until the upstairs is repaired.

Natsu: (groans) We shouldn't be worrying about jobs right now! 

Makarov: NATSU!!! That's enough out of you!

Unexpectedly, Makarov reached out his hand and spanked Lucy and Rebecca on their rear.

Y/N: Um... you missed... (thoughts) Why am I full of rage?

Lucy lightly whimpered, covering her rear. 

Lucy: And you spanked us because...?

Rebecca: (angry) You prevery old man!

Braedey: (thoughts) Okay. He's 100% drunk. Last time I saw someone like that, it was when Hot Rod challenged Ironhide to a drinking contest back at Maccadam's Old Oil House.

Mirajane: Hands to yourself, Master!

Makarov: Alright. (points at Elsie) I'm quite surprised to see you again.

Elsie: Likewise.

Erza: Master, I would like you to meet my twin sister, Elsie.

With that declaration, everyone except the few who knew turned their heads in shock.

Macao: No way!

Wakaba: Erza has a twin sister?! 

Makarov: So you're Elsie? You know I thought that when Erza looked for you, that at first you were imaginary.

Elsie came up to him and abruptly hit him squared on the head.

Elsie: (curious) That real enough for you?

Makarov: (in pain) That will do.

Shiki: Hey! You can't hit an old man like that!

Elsie turned to him and brought up her fist.

Elsie: You want one?!

Y/N: Okay, just calm down.

Makarov laughed before he jumped off the crate and ran across the room.

Natsu: Where are you going?

Makarov: Oh, keep your dress on. I gotta take a leak.

Natsu: Ugh, I don't understand why he's being like this.

Mirajane: Listen, this is just as hard on him as it is on you. He's mad, but conflict between guilds is strictly forbidden by the council.

Natsu: But it's not fair! Those Phantom creeps started it!

Mirajane: I know, but that doesn't matter.

Erza: If the master's decision is not to retaliate, then we must respect it.

Elsie: Saids you. I'm not apart yet, I could go over to them and break them in half before you knew it!

Y/N looked around and, aside from Natsu, could see the downcast expressions on everyone. He didn't like it one bit. The teen hero wished there was something he could do to raise their morale. All of a sudden, his face lit up as an idea came to mind. The jacket-clad teen turned to Mirajane.

Y/N: If you want, I can repair the guild hall for us.

Mirajane: Huh? You can do that?

The rest of the team and the guild who overheard Y/N's offer all turned to him bemused and slightly amazed. A few of the guild members muttered comments, some which questioned Y/N's sanity. Though their skepticism was granted; how could one person fix an entire guild hall?

Rebecca: Oh that's right! Clockwork can turn time back!

Robo-Happy: Yeah, he can undo everything and make the Guild brand new!

Erza had her arms crossed, not convinced.

Erza: Really?

Y/N: (nods) That's right.

Mirajane: Well, if you can do it, then please do.

A few minutes later, Y/N, Rebecca, Robo-Happy, Shiki, Elsie, Braedey, and the rest of the guild made it out of the basement to stand outside the ruined building. They gave Y/N a little room as per his request. The otherworldly member stood in front of the main doors, looking over the damage that had been inflicted.

Lucy: (turn to Rebecca) You sure Y/N can do it?

Rebecca: Yup! Clockwork species can control the flow of time, so undoing everything is a piece of cake!

Erza & Elsie: (curious) Strawberry Cake?

Y/N: (thoughts) This is pretty intense...but nothing I can't handle.

He tapped the Omnitrix dial, scrolling through his alien playlist. When he spotted the form he wanted, he tapped it and slammed down the core. In a flash of green, in Y/N's place a few seconds later stood Clockwork.

Clockwork: Clockwork!

The Fairy Tail wizards all stared in shocked confusion. What was this form, and what could it do? Natsu looked blankly for a moment until he finally remembered.

Natsu: Hey! I remember that guy! You're gonna use your time powers to fix the guild, huh?

Clockwork glanced back at the Dragon Slayer and nodded, or the closest thing he could to a nod since he had no neck.

Erza: (turned to Rebecca) Time control? Are you sure about that? Controlling time seems impossible even for someone like Y/N.

Rebecca: Hey do I look like someone would lie about that?

Clockwork heard the redhead's comment and smirked.

Clockwork: No worries Rebecca! This is gonna be a big job, but I can handle it no problem. (looks at Braedey) Braedey, I don't suppose you have a form that can use time powers as well, do you?

Braedey: Yeah! (cracks his hands) Might as well help you. I feel like a background character lately.

Braedey reaches for the Transformatrix and when he spotted the form he wanted, he pushes down the core. In a flash of blue, now standing in Braedey's place, it was a 30ft tall large, dark copper robot with a humanoid structure. He has thick arms in the shape of pistons, along with thick legs that make up the cab of a steam locomotive, whilst having a set of train wheels on his back and the lower arms, the arms having traction rods and wheels. The front of an engine boiler could be seen in the middle of the chest, along with the front buffers, the smoke deflectors on the shoulders. The funnel of the locomotive could be seen just behind the helm of the Cybertronian, whilst there were wires and cables around the upper legs. The Transformatrix symbol was present on his chest, in the centre of the boiler face.

???: (German accent) Steampunk!

Clockwork: Interesting form. Alright, let's get this over with, shall we?

Steampunk: Let's! 

Clockwork held out both arms and fired beams of emerald light at the guild hall. While for Steampunk, the sound of deep chugging could be heard, the traction rods on his arms beginning to move, the wheels also turning with each chug, blue steam starting to chug out from his pistons and funnel. The chugging seemed to get stronger and stronger, the blue steam floating around him. A moment later, he fired two beams of blue light at the guild hall. 

The entire building was bathed in a mixture of green and blue light. Concentrating on their abilities, both Clockwork and Steampunk began to reverse time around the guild hall. Suddenly, the iron columns sticking out from the building began to vanish. The damage done to the wooden structure starts to disappear as well.

 The wizards all watched in awe as the guild hall was being fixed before their very eyes. Another ten seconds passed before Clockwork and Steampunk ceased firing their time beam. As the emerald and blue light both faded away, in its wake was a fully repaired Fairy Tail guild hall. Some of them gasped in shock while others like Erza stared in amazement. The guild's spirits quickly lifted into joy from the sight of the repaired building.

Elsie: (shocked) Incredible! And I thought the Chronophage was the only one capable of turning time back!

Robo-Happy: Aye sir! Nothing is a match for time controlling aliens!

Clockwork fell to his hands and knees, panting heavily while for Steampunk, the traction rods and wheels all slowly came to a stop with the gentle creaking of brakes, before he joined Clockwork as well. 

Then in a mix of emerald and blue flash, Clockwork and Steampunk both reverted back to normal. Both were sweating a little bit as they breathed deeply. Both Lucy and Rebecca came to their side in worry.

Lucy: (concerned) You two alright?

Y/N: Y-Yeah... It's just...using Clockwork's power like that...tires me out quite a bit.

Braedey: W-Well that's.... the price.... you pay for gaining power over time.

Y/N soon felt someone hugging him from behind him, he turned to see Mirajane with tears in her eyes.

Mirajane: Thank you for repairing our guild hall. That was so kind of you. 

Y/N: (blush) Well it was nothing. We just wanted to help out.

Erza gazed at the fully repaired building as everyone went back in with full spirits.

Elsie: Amazing, isn't it? Never in my life would I see something like this.

Erza: Yeah... (looks at Elsie) Are you ready to truly start being Elsie Scarlet?

Elsie looked at her and nodded.

Elsie: Yup!

She turned to go in, but...

Erza: Hold it!

Elsie: (turned to Erza) What?

Erza: (hold out her hand) Give me that wallet you stole!

Elsie: What wallet?!

Erza: (deadpan) The wallet you have in your right pocket.

Elsie sighed at this as she reached into her pocket, pulled out a wallet and gave it to Erza.

Elsie: If it makes you feel better, I stole it from that Weisz guy.

(with Weisz)

Weisz: Achoo! Was someone talking about me? (notices his wallet was gone) Hey, where's my wallet?! 

(back to the guild hall)  

Erza: No, it doesn't! I need you to stop being a pirate! You're going to be a part of an official guild now! And last time I checked we don't steal people's wallets!

Elsie: (smirks, pulls out Erza's wallet) Even yours?

Erza: (angry anime tick mark) WHY YOU!!! (takes back the wallet) YES, THAT MEANS MINE AS WELL!!!

Elsie: (laughs) Sorry, even though I'm gonna be a wizard, I'm still a pirate. Don't expect any promises from me.

Erza: (angry) I'm gonna keep my eyes on you! Now if you're done, let's get you in.

Elsie: Aren't you gonna thank Y/N and Braedey first for repairing the guild hall?

Erza: Oh... right! But know I'm watching you!

Elsie: (shrugs) Whatever.

Erza then went over to Y/N and Braedey.

Erza: Good work Y/N and Braedey! That was truly kind of you too!

Braedey: (waves her off) No problem!

Y/N: Yeah, we're just happy to help.

She then grabbed Y/N's head and lightly slammed it into her armored chest. It was her way of showing gratitude or apologizing to her friends, in this case, both. When she let go, Y/N stood up a bit, with his face flushed.

Y/N: (blush) Ow! This is awkward...

She turned to Braedey to do the same thing.

Braedey: No thanks!!! I'm good!

Erza: Y/N, forgive me. I'm sorry that I doubted you, it won't happen again. If you want, you may punish me.

Y/N's face paled slightly. He chuckled lightly as he held up his hands in a placating gesture.

Y/N: No, that's unnecessary. Apology accepted.

Everyone: Smart move.

(timeskip)

After nightfall had arrived, Lucy was walking down a street that ran across a canal that went through the city. She was pulling her suitcases behind her. Her faithful companion Plue was in front of her. The blonde mage was thinking about the damage done to the guild by the Phantom Lords, even though it had been repaired by Y/N and Braedey.

Lucy: Well, that was certainly something, wasn't it, Plue?

Plue: Huh?

Lucy: I didn't know that Phantom Lord and Fairy Tail had such a rivalry between them.

Plue: Uh-huh? (starting to dance around her with a large smile on his face)

Lucy: Honesty. I thought about joining Phantom in case I couldn't get into Fairy Tail. They have a reputation that's on par with Fairy Tail's, after all. But I love our guild, and I don't regret my decision at all! (blush) After all I did meet Y/N because of it.

Plue: Huh?

Lucy: (nervous) I really hope that Rebecca's idea works!

Lucy opened the door to her apartment.

Lucy: (nervous) Because I don't know what will happen if I don't.

???: What won't happen?

​​As soon as she entered, her eyes bulged open. Sitting at her dinner table eating a large, cooked fish was Erza, Elsie, Rebecca, Shiki, Gray, Ur, Braedey, and Y/N. Erza was at the front while Gray and Y/N were on opposite sides of the table. Natsu, Robo-Happy, Pino, and Happy were on the floor, the normal cat was eating a fish of his own.

Y/N, Braedey, and Elsie had taken off their jackets and hung them up on a coat rack in the corner of the room. Erza wore a white shirt with a blue skirt. Gray sported a pair of black pants and a white buttoned up shirt. Natsu was in his regular attire.

Erza: Very nice place you have here.

Ur: Yeah! Really makes up for rent you have to pay.

Lucy: YOU CAME IN WITHOUT ASKING FIRST!!!

The blonde then threw her suitcase at Natsu, which Y/N winced at.

Lucy: WHY ARE YOU HERE?!?!

Braedey: Ouch, that's gotta hurt.

Rebecca: I'm really sorry about this Lucy! Me and Happy tried to stop them, but...

Robo-Happy: We were overpowered.

Erza: Since the guild has been attacked, we can assume that there are still Phantom Lord members in town.

Gray: They probably figured out where everyone in Fairy Tail lives by now.

Lucy: Where we live?!

Gray: Mira said I'd be safer if we grouped together. You know....strength in numbers.

Lucy: I guess she's right.

Happy: That's why everybody in Fairy Tail's having a slumber party tonight!

Erza: You are a very attractive teenage girl, after all, and I wasn't entirely comfortable with you being here alone with Y/N, Braedey, Natsu, and Gray. I felt like I could only relax if I and Elsie stayed here as well. And we ran into Shiki and his group and we thought it was best if they came along too.

Y/N looked at Titania and crossed his arms over his chest with a frown.

Y/N: You do remember that you convinced me and Braedey to come here, right? We were just fine with guarding the guild hall.

Braedey: Yeah, it was better if we had stayed at the guild hall. We could've caught the one from before!

Natsu: It's not time to relax!

Elsie: Yeah! If someone did this to me when I was a part of Oración Seis Galáctica, I would've crushed them!

Robo-Happy: Aren't you still a member by the Interstellar Union Army though?

Lucy: So, it was already decided that these five would stay with me?

Erza: Only Natsu and Gray. As Y/N mentioned, I convinced him and Braedey to come along. After all, we are a team and must stick together.

Lucy: But why'd they have to come to my place?

Rebecca: As I said before you cannot just break into someone's place! You have to wait until they get back!

Pino: (turn to Robo-Happy) Are you still sure we still should've waited for Miss Lucy?

Robo-Happy: Well yeah. She is our friend after all. 

Happy: (checks out a basket of laundry) Whoa! You sure have a lot of dirty clothes. 

Lucy: (angry) Hey! You better get out of my stuff or you're dead meat!

As Happy went through Lucy's laundry, Plue had picked up a pink lollipop off the ground and started licking it. This quickly caught Natsu's attention.

Natsu: Hey Plue! Did you find something to eat? Oh come on, don't be hogging it all!

Plue: Ahh (still licking at the candy)

Elsie: Ooh, look Ezzie! I found some panties you might like.

Erza took them and examined them with wide eyes and a bit of sweat dripped down her face.

Erza: (blush) I can't believe you would actually wear something like this, Lucy. (thoughts) Maybe I can borrow a pair from her. We look about the same size.

Y/N blushed at the sight of this.

Y/N: (thoughts) Those are what her panties look like?

Plue eventually found a box full of sweets, which he and Natsu began to devour happily.

Gray: I'm gonna catch some shuteye. (laid down on Lucy's bed) So could you please keep it down?

Braedey leaned back in his chair by the table.

Braedey: That's not even your bed, Gray. And where are your clothes?

The ice mage panicked when he realised he was in nothing but his boxers.

Lucy: You guys are taking this "Make yourselves at home" deal a little too far.

Rebecca: (deadpan) Man, these guys really don't know anything about respecting someone's stuff!

Erza: We have a serious problem here. (glance at the boys) You boys' hygiene. I refuse to sleep in a room that reeks of sweat.

Y/N: But I took a shower this morning. (sniffed his armpit) And I don't even smell bad!

Natsu: I don't wanna take a bath right now!.

Gray: But I already got into bed...

Braedey: Do I have to?

Shiki: I don't mind.

Braedey: Of course you don't, Shiki. 

Erza brought Natsu, Gray, and Y/N together. Natsu and Gray on the outside while Y/N was awkwardly caught in the middle. She stood behind them with her hands on Natsu and Gray's outer shoulders.

Erza: Come on, boys, Do we have to take a bath together like we did when we were kids? 

Y/N: (thoughts, blush) Say what?! 

Y/N began to remember the sight of her naked body due to the effect of the x-ray goggles he had on at the time.

Erza: As for you, Y/N, you may join us if you would like.

Ur: (pulls Y/N to her) I don't think so. Y/N will be taking a bath me instead, since I owed him a favor for saving me.

With that he remembered once again the sight of Ur's naked body he saw on Norma with the goggles.

Elsie: (pulls Y/N toward her) I'm afraid it's not possible. Y/N's my property now, and I say he'll take a bath with me.

And with that, well Elsie wasn't there on Norma, but he imagined her naked body, due to how similar she was to Erza.

Erza: (pulls Y/N toward her) I cannot allow that! Y/N will be taking a bath with me alone!

Lucy: (pulls Y/N toward her with a blush on her face) Well, I'm afraid that since this is my apartment. He'll take it with me!

With Lucy in the mix now, he also remembers her naked body as well.

Rebecca: (pulls Y/N toward her) Will you four knock it off?! Y/N belongs to me alone, so I'm taking a bath with him!

And with Rebecca in the mix too. He remembers her naked body too and with that Y/N released steam from his ear, had a small nose bleed, and promptly fainted.

Girls: Y/N?!

Braedey: (turn to the other) Now what caused that?

Shiki: Fairy Tail has the weirdest team I've seen.

Braedey: You can say that again!

(timeskip) 

At least an hour later, Lucy, Rebecca, Ur, Elsie, and Erza had finished with their baths. Y/N, Gray, and Natsu were still a bit reluctant to go. Y/N couldn't help but blush when Erza and Elsie came out both with just a pink towel covering their forms, light reflecting off their wet bodies. 

Thankfully, in Y/N's case, neither one didn't see him blush, but what really caught his eye was when Erza re-quipped into a pink set of pajamas with purple crosses all over it  Elsie's was black with red roses.

Rebecca: Do you have any idea why Phantom attacked you guys out of the blue?

Lucy: Yeah. I mean attacking our guild is a bit strange, don't you think?

Erza: I'm afraid not. We've had our fair share of scuffles with them in the past, but never on anything of this sort of magnitude before.

Ur: Yeah? Back before the whole Ice Shell, I heard of Fairy Tail and Phantom Lord's rivalry, but I never heard anything like this happening. I mean a few arguments there and then. But still.

Natsu: If Gramps wasn't so scared of 'em, we could wipe out those punks once and for all.

Shiki: Since when were you awake?

Gray: (holding a pile of paper) Come on, you know Master's not afraid of them, Natsu. You seem to be forgetting he's one of The Ten Wizard Saints.

Spotting what exactly the ice wizard was reading, Lucy immediately flips out.

Lucy: I never gave you permission to read that! Gimme!

She snatches the pile of papers and clutches them tightly to her.

Gray: You can't snatch it out of my hands without at least telling me what happens next.

Lucy only clutches it tighter to herself, putting her body between Gray and it.

Lucy: Yes, I can. I promised Levy she'd be the first to read it. So you're just going to have to wait.

Erza holds out her arm in a 'gimme' motion, indicating that she was curious about the stack of papers as well.

Lucy: You're not getting it either!

Y/N: (curious) You're writing a book?

Lucy: Well, yeah I am.

Y/N: Huh. Well, I hope it becomes a bestseller.

Lucy: (blush) Thanks Y/N.

Y/N: You're welcome!

Braedey: Okay, there's something I've been meaning to ask. What exactly are these Ten Wizard Saints?

Erza: It's an honor bestowed by The Magic Council. An extremely coveted title shared by the ten most powerful wizards on the continent.

Shiki: That sounds so cool! The ten strongest wizards! You think they would want to be my friends?! 

Happy: Phantom Lord's Master, Jose is one of them, too.

Erza: (thoughts) That's true. And so is he.

Natsu slammed his hand on the table.

Natsu: He is afraid! He's scared that Phantom has too many members for us to handle!

Lucy: Could you please use your inside voice?

Gray: That is not true and you know it. It's just like what Master and Mira said before, the consequences of us going to war with Phantom are nowhere near worth the fight. The order of the magical world is at stake here.

Rebecca: Really?! Geez! There's nothing like that in our guild!

Robo-Happy: Is Phantom Lord really that strong?

Natsu: They ain't got nothing on us. We can take those clowns.

Erza: No. If we were to engage them in battle, neither guild would survive. Their strength equals ours.

Phantom's Master Jose is also one of The Ten Wizard Saints, which means he's on par with Makarov. They also have an elite group of wizards similar to our S-Class, known as The Element 4. However, their biggest threat maybe Black Steel Gajeel. I believe that he's most likely the one responsible for the guild hall's destruction, he's known as The Iron Dragon Slayer.

Y/N: (shocked) W-Wait, he's a Dragon Slayer too?! So, Natsu's not the only one?

Lucy: Yeah, I thought so too.

Elsie: (confused) Elemental 4? Wait a moment ... .I know that name somehow...(realized) Of course! Drakken Joe!

Y/N: Who?

Elsie: Drakken Joe also known as the Dark Alchemist. He is another member of Oración Seis Galáctica. 

Braedey: He's a member of the Oración Seis Galáctica too?

Elsie: Yes. He has a group of people called the Elemental 4 as well, each one is loyal to him.

Shiki: You think these Element 4 guys from Phantom Lord might be the same ones working under Drakken Joe?

Elsie: No, Drakken Joe has no presence on Earthland. But he's quite the person to be afraid of from the rumors he has about him.

Rebecca: Hopefully, we don't have to fight him as well.

Lucy: So, if this Gajeel guy is the Iron Dragon Slayer, does that mean he eats iron?

Happy: I wonder what it tastes like.

Rebecca: Ask Y/N. He's the one with Upchuck and Eatle.

Y/N: You don't have to point it out, Rebecca. 

Rebecca: Sorry! Just thought you might know. 

(Meanwhile)

The main hall of the Phantom Lord guild was a dark, large stone-walled room with tables aligned everywhere. The torches mounted on the walls were the only source of light in the main hall.

Sitting alone at a table was a young muscular man with long, black hair that was spiked up. He wore a shabby, black, sleeveless tunic with silver studded edges, a pair of beige pants, and studded black boots. On his right shoulder was a black wing-like ornament jutting upwards.

This was Gajeel Redfox, the Iron Dragon Slayer; otherwise, known as Black Steel. The table he was sitting at was covered in a variety of iron materials such as pots and pans. Gajeel was chowing down, not on regular food, but rather from the actual metal items sprawled across the table.

Phantom member: So Gajeel, I heard you made a mess out of the Fairy Tail guild hall. I also heard that two of their wizards completely repaired it. Man, sure sucks for you. I mean, after all that work and to have it all undone. (laughs)

Gajeel ceased his eating and growled. He swiftly turned to face the mage. Shockingly, Gajeel's arm transformed into a grey iron pillar and extended out, slamming into the man's face and sending him careening back.

The other Phantom Lord wizards who witnessed the scene all laughed at the man's misfortune. Gajeel growled as his arm reverted back to normal.

Gajeel: How many times do I have to tell ya? I don't like to be bothered while I'm eating! And besides...

Gajeel stood up on his table, glaring at all his guildmates.

Gajeel: Whether their precious guild hall was repaired or not, those Fairy Tail clowns can't challenge us. We're way more powerful than they could ever hope to be.

His guildmates all shouted in agreement.

???: The die has been cast.

Everyone looked up to see a tall figure standing by the railing of the second floor, his form shrouded by the darkness. It was the guild master.

???: I compliment your excellent work, Gajeel. Despite the fact Fairy Tail's newest members undid it.

Gajeel: After that little stunt, I didn't think we were hard enough on them. So I decided to leave him a little something extra. (smirk) A present. That's sure to get those Fairy Tailers panties in a knot.

???: Very good, my boy. Be sure to take extra care that no harm comes to that one if you please.

Gajeel only grinned wickedly.

(The next morning)

Magnolia Southgate Park

The next day, the group was preparing to head toward the restored guild hall, until they spotted a disturbance in Southgate Park. They approached a large crowd, composed of a big sum of their guildmates and town citizens, which was gathered at a large tree in the center of the park.

Erza: Excuse us. We're from their guild. Please let us through.

Erza was pushing through the crow with Natsu, Happy, Y/N, Braedey, Elsie, Shiki, Rebecca, Pino, Robo-Happy, Gray, and Lucy following behind. They were concerned, everyone looked horrified. When they spotted the commotion Y/N and the other gasped in horror. 

Hanging from the trunk of the huge tree was Levy, Droy, and Jet. All three of them looked seriously beaten up. Iron clamps were keeping them pinned to the tree trunk, and painted on the tree was the Phantom Lord guild mark.

Lucy: LEVY!!!

Natsu clenched his fists, his eyes burning with fury. Y/N was feeling a similar sense of anger as he glared at the Phantom Lord mark on the tree. He gritted his teeth, trying to keep his emotions in check.

However, Y/N couldn't say the same for Natsu, not that he could blame him. The teen hero didn't know these Phantom Lord guys but they had hurt his guildmates, placed them on a tree like trophies for everyone to see!

Rebecca: (put her hands over her mouth)How could someone be this cruel?!

Gray: Jet! Droy! 

Then a green flash appeared and suddenly Astrodactyl appeared out of it and went to get the three down. Astrodactyl brought Levy down with Jet and Droy. He couldn't help but look at how beaten up Levy was.

Astrodactyl: Levy, I'm so sorry. I wish I was there to save you from getting hurt.

Natsu: (angry) Phantom Lord did this.

Elsie: (turn to Erza) Can I break them in half now?!

The crowd grew silent and cleared a path for Master Makarov. Instead of his usual attire, he was wearing a pair of black pants and a white coat with the Ten Wizard Saint symbol on the back; though he still held his familiar cane in his hand.

Erza: Master...

Makarov: I can take our headquarters being reduced to rubble, but I will not allow harm to come to my children without TAKING REVENGE!!!!

His grip tightened until it promptly crushed his cane's shaft. Suddenly, golden light began to shine from beneath the old man. Astrodactyl took a cautious step back. He had never seen Makarov like this, and he could feel a scary amount of power radiating off of him.

Makarov: (angry) We have no choice but to go to war!

(elsewhere)

Oak Town, located in the northeastern sector of Fiore, was home to the Phantom Lord guild. The guild hall itself was a large, stone castle-like building that towered above all the other structures in the town. The Phantom Lord members were all lounging around, drinking beer, talking, and laughing.

The biggest conversation topic today was Gajeel defeating three Fairy Tail members single handedly and hanging them up on a tree in a city park for everyone to see.

Three wizards were sauntering toward the main doors with smug smirks on their faces.

Phantom Lord 1: Oh, we can't let him have all the fun.

Phantom Lord 2: Yeah, we need to try picking off a couple of Fairy wings ourselves.

As they approached the exit, the front doors were suddenly blasted off of their hinges by a flaming inferno, sending the three wizards careening back. The Phantoms quickly turned their gaze to the main doors, and as the smoke cleared, standing in the doorway was a pissed off Natsu Dragneel.

Standing behind him was Y/N, Erza, Elsie, Braedey, Gray, Shiki and the rest of the Fairy Tail guild. Lucy, Rebecca, and Robo-Happy were absent, offering to stay behind and watch over Team Shadow Gear back at the Magnolia Hospital.

Makarov: Fairy Tail has come calling!

A group of Phantom Lord wizards immediately jumped at Natsu, letting out battle cries. The Fire Dragon Slayer shot out a wall of fire, blasting back the group, their bodies charred and smoking.

Natsu: Alright! Who wants to play with fire?!

Y/N stepped forward and swiftly activated the Omnitrix and selected an alien.

Y/N: And who wants to play with...

He slammed down the core. After an emerald flash, the Phantom Lord guild was taken back to see a slim, muscular yeti-like creature. His body was yellow black, and white fur with a greyish face, green eyes with black pupils and yellow lightning bolt-shaped horns. His hands had four fingers and toes were gray as well, and he had metallic gray circular bolts on the side of his wrists and lower jaw. He also had a green and white belt with a black and green hourglass symbol in the middle of it. 

Shocksquatch: Shocksquatch! It's Hero Time!

The Phantom Lord wizards quickly got over their shock and charged head-on at Fairy Tail.

Gray: Let's get 'em!

Barely minutes into the fighting and Fairy Tail is easily besting Phantom Lord. Natsu and Shocksquatch charged head first at the large pack of enemy wizards, both lighting up their fists with flames and lighting as they went punching the lights out of their opponents.

Macao: (held out his hand) Purple Net!

Without warning, several bluish-purple tendrils of energy manifested out from a purple magic circle on his hand and wrapped up several Phantom Mages, suspending them in the air.

Macao: Now, Wakaba!

Wakaba: (smirks) On it. Here comes Smoke Crush.

Suddenly, multiple pink magic fists fired out from Wakaba's pipe and punched the Phantom mages trapped in Macao's net.

Alzack: Guns Magic!

Alzack takes his revolver and fires magical bullets into the crowd of Phantom members.

Alzack: That one's my Spark Shot.

As the electrified bullets connect to their targets, the Phantom grunts collapse to the ground, paralyzed, from being electrically shocked. In the midst of taking down an entire group, a lone Phantom member lunges from behind.

Phantom Lord member: Eat this!

However, Alzack's saving grace comes in the form of his partner and fellow Gun Magic user, Bisca Mulan, blasting the Phantom away with her sniper rifle.

Alzack: Very nice shooting, Bisca.

Bisca: (reloading) Getting a little rusty there, Al.

Lifting the weapon's scope to her eye, she finds more targets.

Bisca: Locked on target. Homing Shot!

Charging up the shot with her magic, the bullet goes flying at its homed-in location, taking out its intended target in a powerful explosion upon contact.

Some of Phantom members decided to charge as Shocksquatch from all sides, but the Gimlinopithecus unleashed a wave of electricity at them, shocking them to the ground in pain. He then grabbed one of them.

Shocksquatch: Alright! Where's the one who hurt Levy and her friends?! (raises up an electrically charged fist) Or you'll get more than mere shock!

Shiki jumps in the air and coats his fist with gravity.

Shiki: Magimech Attack! Gravity Fist!

Shiki thrust a fist at a bunch of Phantom Lord wizards which send them flying off the ground. Elsie was completely surrounded by them.

Phantom Lord member: I don't know what's going on here! But two Titanias?! I'm going to be twice as famous for taking down both of you.

Elsie: (smirk) You can try! 

With that Elsie body began to glow red as her clothes shifted into a tight suit, with it having light-colored accents around her hips and lower legs with bulbs placed behind them, bands around her forearms, and a high-collar has two long strips that acts as a cape. The back portion has the two insignia, one being the Skull Fairy mark and the other Fairy Tail. 

Elsie: Star Drain: Ether Battler!

Phantom Lord member: Get her!

The Phantom Lord wizards charged at Elsie. But she unleashed a fury of punches and kicks at them knocking them down in only a few seconds. One tried to slash her across the back, but Erza slashed him before he could.

Erza: You missed one.

Elsie: (smirk) I know, but who's counting?

At where Braedey is, some phantom Lord members surround him.

Phantom Lord member: Take out that boy! He looks pretty weak!

Phantom Lord Member 2: We'll blast him into pieces! 

Braedey: Yeah! Trust me, not going to happen!

Braedey went for the Transformatrix and selected the correct form for the job and slammed down the core and with a blue flash became a 15 ft tall robot. It has a swamp green, grey, and leaf green colour scheme. It has three-toe feet, outfitted with claws, with a pair of tank treads attached on the back of the legs, two tyres on the back of the shoulders, whilst a winch was in the centre of the torso section, a tube frame of car doors on the lower arms, whilst the four-digit hands have claws also. The shoulders have the front fender parts on them, whilst the head of the robot has what might be what looked like a Mohawk made out of a buzzsaw blade. Finally, the eyes were bright blue, and the Transformatrix symbol was in the center of the chest. 

???: Swamptread!

Phantom Lord member: What?!

Phantom Lord member 2: He turned into a huge robot?! 

Phantom Lord member 3: Who cares! Get that freak!

Half of the group in front of him leaped at Swamptread, magic circles forming in their hands.Swamptread didn't know what magic they possessed, which meant he wasn't going to take a chance. He held out his arms and discharged two powerful streams of fire. 

The six mages were quickly blasted back unconscious. Despite the power that Swamptread was demonstrating, the other half of the group engaged him. One was lifting up an axe to strike him, but Braedey easily dodged the swipe and backhands the guy to the ground. 

Suddenly, a mage had managed to sneak up behind Swamptread and stabbed his magic sword straight through his abdomen.

Phantom Lord member: Haha! Not so tough now your oversized rust bucket!

Swamptread smirked. He pulled forward until the sword was removed. The man gasped in shock as the hole in his enemy's torso instantly healed with a sickening metallic crunching sound.

Phantom Lord member: (shocked) W-w-what the...?

Swamptread: What did you say about me? An oversized rust bucket?

Phantom Lord member: (nervous) I meant it in a good way?

Swamptread lunged at the mage in a blink of an eye and sent an uppercut into his jaw. The wizard went flying backward until he crashes into another group of Phantom mages.

Swamptread: Take that! Now who's next?!

In the midst of the fighting, Makarov stood nonchalantly with his arms crossed and his eyes shut. A large mass of Phantom wizards, who surrounded him, all charged at once. Makarov opened up his eyes, bright golden light shining out of them. All of a sudden, the ground began to shake as Makarov's body increased to a height of sixty feet, the same height as Humungousaur fully grown.

He slammed his palm on the stone floor, trapping a few mages underneath. They all stared up in fear and awe.

Phantom Lord member: (afraid) He's...a monster!

Makarov: AND YOU DARE TO LAY YOUR HANDS ON THIS MONSTER'S CHILDREN?!?!?! ARE YOU FOOLISH ENOUGH TO BELIEVE HUMAN LAWS WILL PROTECT YOU FROM MY RAGE?!?!?!

The Phantom Lord members all paused, expressions of shock and awe plastered on their faces. They were amazed by the power shown in Master Makarov and the members of Fairy Tail.

Phantom Lord member: He's pretty strong.

Phantom Lord member 2: Yeah, and his members are strong too.

Phantom Lord member 3: I didn't know Fairy Tail was like this.

Reedus: Picto Magic: Wild Stampede!

Painting on his bare belly, Reedus uses his Pict Magic to paint different colored boars, which spring to life from his stomach and attack his Phantom Lord opponents.

Laki: Wood-Make Magic... Damn of Bashful Love!

Laki slams her open palms against the cobblestone floor of the guildhall. Summoning multiple blocks of wood shaped as various tools and weapons erupt from the ground and hit those within its range, sending them flying.

Phantom Lord member: What the heck is that supposed to mean, lady?!

Some of the Phantom Lord wizards who are still standing find Happy amongst the chaos. Assuming he's an easy target, they instantly jump on the chase to beat a Fairy.

Phantom Lord member: Let's get the cat!

Phantom Lord member 2: Piece of cake.

Happy gives the incoming rival guild wizard an ominous stare, having some hidden talents when it comes to fighting on his own.

Happy: Oh, yeah?

Summoning his white-feathered wings, he flies up, letting the Phantom Lord wizard crash into one another.

Happy: Don't forget. I'm a wizard too!

Taking two large fish from his pack, he swings them around like nunchucks.

Happy: You got a problem with cats?!

Happy glares darkly, holding a watermelon over his head, threatening to drop it on some not-so-innocent wizard whose mouth has been stuffed with food.

Phantom Lord member: (muffed) Of course not, sir!

As Fairy Tail continued their onslaught of Phantom Lord, Makarov glances around the guild, looking for Jose.

Makarov: JOSE, SHOW YOURSELF!!!

Erza and Elsie were back to back, Elsie was still in her Ether Battler, but Erza was in a new armor that was primarily dark red but also sported orange and black parts, with the first ones being shaped like flames and the second resembling the limbs of a Dragon. Her bright scarlet hair was tied into a pair of high, long pigtails. In her right hand was a long red, flaming sword. 

Erza cried out as she leaped into the air, slashing her flaming sword at a group of Phantom mages. The attack sent them sprawling back charred and beaten while Elsie kept punching and kicking anyone who came even close to her and her sister. 

Erza: (angry) TELL ME!!! Where can I find Gajeel and the Element 4?!

Elsie: (angry) YOU BETTER TELL US NOW! Or we'll stop going easy on you!.... (turn to Erza) Also pigtails? Seriously?!

Erza: NOT NOW!!!

Meanwhile, Gajeel stood atop one of the many timber rafters on the ceiling. Gajeel smirked at the scene taking place. He had to admit, he was impressed by how much power Fairy Tail was showing, beating up his guildmates like nothing. 

Gajeel: (looks at Erza and Elsie) Ah, the legend herself, Titania Erza! Though I never imagined there was someone who looked like her (sniffs the air) Scent the same too. (laughs) It doesn't matter. There can be another one and still wouldn't change a thing. I guess Laxus and Mystogan are too scared to play, or do they not care? Either way, Master Jose knew exactly how this was going to go down. Looks like they're really good fighters....for a bunch of scumbags.

As the battle waged on below, Natsu was consuming the fire that Phantom mages shot at him, which stunned them. The pink haired young man burped as a hungry grin spread on his face. 

Natsu: Oh yeah, now I've got a fire in my belly!

Phantom Lord member: No way! He ate fire!

Phantom Lord member 2: (afraid) You don't think he's one of those?

Natsu: I'm gonna blow you away! Fire Dragon Roar!

Natsu slammed his fists together, a reddish-orange circle appearing in front of them. He put both hands over his mouth like a trumpeter, a huge torrent of flames bursting out. The fire sent the group flying back with burns.

Gray, who wasn't wearing a shirt, and Ur stood in the center of a big pack of Phantom mages. The mages all charged at two Ice-Makers, but both of them remained calm. Both of then put their fist on top of their palm and held them out.

Gray: Ice Make: Lance!

Ur: Ice Make: Rosan Lance!

Without warning, Gray and Ur unleashed a barrage of icy lances and in Ur's case lances with rose thorns cover them shot out from a magic circle in front of them. The lances sent the wizards sprawling back uncontrollably.

Ur: A bunch of novices!

Erza, now in her Heaven's Wheel armor, unleashed a swarm of swords at Phantom Lord members in her way while Elsie, now holding her Ether Spear, was rushing them and striking them down before they could even blink.

Elsie: You sure Phantom Lord is in the same league? Because I expected more from a group who has the similar name group as the Dark Alchemist!

Erza: Don't underestimate them. These are only the low rank wizards. They will be sending out the Element 4 and Gajeel soon.

Elsie: I'm not! (smirk) So, let's get started, Ezzie!

Suddenly, Elsie throws her Ether Spear at the rafters, forcing Gajeel to duck and land on the ground.

Elsie: Done watching?! (requips her spear and points at him) Because I've got a bone to pick with you!

Gajeel: How'd you know I was here?  

Elsie: To be honest, I was just guessing! So, you're the one who attacked my sister's precious home and friends?

Gajeel: What if I am?

Elsie: Then I'm gonna beat up just like you did to that poor girl and her two friends!

Makarov: Erza!

She looked to see Makarov was heading to the upper levels of the guild, searching for Jose.

Makarov: I'll leave the rabble to you!

Erza: Yes, sir!

Makarov: Jose must be lurking on the top floor. When I find him, there'll be hell to pay.

Erza: Please, be careful. 

Shocksquatch came up from behind her with a worried look on his face.

Shocksquatch: Will he be alright on his own?

Erza: Jose is strong, but I'm sure Makarov will be fine.

Shocksquatch: (thoughts) I don't know why, but something just doesn't feel right.

However, he put those thoughts aside and looked at Gajeel with an angry face.

Shocksquatch: (angry) I'm gonna make you pay for what you did to Levy!

Gajeel: (smirk) Bring it on. I take all of you Fairy chumps myself.

Shocksquatch (angry) You know, normally I don't lower myself to such violence beat ups! (brings up a lightning-covered fist) But for you I'll make an exception!

Chapter 22 ended. 

That was a long chapter. But it was a good way to start off the Phantom Lord Arc. I'll be looking onto the fight scenes with Y/N, Braedey, Shiki, Rebecca, and Elsie fighting the strongest members of Phantom Lord. 

Speaking go which, which member of Phantom Lord should they fight?

Totomaru:

Sol:

Juvia:

Aria:

Gajeel:

Jose:
