Previously on Time of Man

As the group came closer towards the guild, they started hearing the whispers of the people of Magnolia.

"Are those Fairy Tail wizards?" "I guess they don't know what happened?" and many other whispers came from the people that were watching the group.

"Why is everybody staring at us?" Silvia asked.

"It's not the good kinda staring," Happy said, looking around as the people were staring.

"Feels like pity..." Erza said in a soft voice.

They continued walking till the saw a big shadow in the distance, which was in the general direction of their guild hall.

"What? Why does the guild look so bizarre?!" Erza asked as she stopped walking.

When the others noticed it, they quickly started running towards the guild.

"N-No way...." Silvia said as her eyes were wide open.

"What's happened to it?" Erza asked with a shocked expression.

"No..." Lucy gasped, "I don't understand...." she said.

The group was in shock of what lay in front of them.

Present Time

~Third Person POV~

"Our guild....." Nashi looked at the now destroyed guild with anger, "Someone did this to our guild!" she said as her anger built up, her body shaking in rage.

"But who would do such a thing?" Erza asked with a frown.

"It was Phantom," a familiar female voice said from behind them.

They turn around to see, Mira standing behind them. Her expression was grave.

"Are you serious?" Silvia asked.

 "You mean Phantom did this?" Nashi asked looking over her shoulder, her expression still filled with rage.

"We couldn't do anything to stop them," Mira said with a sad tone, "Y/N was still on his date with Cana, they got us good."

~Short Timeskip~

The group was now walking down some stairs leading to the basement.

What was used as storage, was now for the members to nurse their broken spirits.

"We've never been on the best of terms with those Phantom jerks but come on!" Jet exclaimed.

"Wanna teach them a lesson?" Droy asked.

"Back off you guys, don't you think we're in enough trouble already?" Levy said with a worried look as the group was sitting around a table.

"Hmmm..." Lucy hummed with a sad expression.

"Yo! What's up kids?" Master Makarov said while holding his hand up, and having a cup of booze in the other; he is drunk. He was currently, perched on a box with his legs crossed.

Behind him, the job request board was standing.

"Uhhhh...Hi," Lucy said, holding her hand up to her mouth. Confused with the turn of events.

"Sorry, we weren't here sooner," Erza said.

"Why the heck are you all sitting around down here?!" Nashi exclaimed, her expression still full of anger.

"How did it go, Lucy? You finished the job like a good girl?" Makarov asked, in a drunken voice.

"Yeah, I guess so," Lucy said nervously.

"Master, do you understand the gravity of this situation?" Erza asked.

"The guild hall has been completely destroyed!" Nashi said.

"There's no need to get yourselves all worked up, it's not the end of the world or anything," Makarov replied in a nonchalant tone, he took a sip from his cup.

"What?" Silvia said.

"Just goes to show how cowardly those dunderheads in the Phantom Lord really are," Makarov said after he put his cup down. "They struck when no one was here, is that anything worth bragging about?" 

"Nobody was here," Erza said.

"It was after everyone had already left for the night, Y/N and Cana were the last to leave," Mira said, her tone filled with sadness.

"I suppose we can be thankful for that, at least no one was hurt in our guild from the attack," Erza said with a sigh.

"We shouldn't trouble ourselves worrying about people who don't even have the guts to face us head-on," Makarov said, "Forget about those fools!"

"Ain't gonna happen, gramps! We can't just let them trash our place and get away with it!!" Nashi exclaimed in rage, punching the wooden wall next to her.

"I'm not talking about this any longer," Makarov said, "We'll handle job requests down here till upstairs is repaired."

"We shouldn't be worried about job req-""NASHI! That's enough out of you!" Makarov exclaimed in anger. While spanking Lucy by 'accident'.

"And you spanked me because?" Lucy asked while sweatdropping.

"Hands to yourself, master!" Mira said while puffing her cheeks cutely, her hands on her hips.

"Hehehe," Makarov giggled pulling his hand back, he dropped from the box he was sitting on.

"Where you going old man?!" Nashi asked.

"Ha! Keep your dress on, I gotta take a leak," Makarov said in a drunken voice, as he didn't have a care in the world.

"I don't understand why he's being like this," Nashi said looking down, she was upset.

"Listen, this is just as hard on him as it is on you," Mira said, her tone soft. "He's mad, but conflict within guilds is strictly forbidden by the council," she continued.

"It's not fair those phantom freaks started it!" Nashi said throwing a tantrum.

"I know! But that doesn't matter!" Mira retorted.

"If the master's decision is to not retaliate, then we must respect it," Erza said in a grave tone.

Nashi grits her teeth.

"Plus, once Y/N is back, he'll fix the guild back," Mira said with a small smile.

"Sadly, I can't fix the guild," said a familiar male voice.

"Y/N!" Mira said, her smile growing wider. His other two girlfriends turning around and greeting with a smile. Nashi greeted him with a small smile, while her expression still showed signs of rage. 

Not aimed at him, but at the Phantom Lords.

"Morning, my lovelies," Y/N greeted them with a smile, with Cana holding his hand. Cana was glowing, she also had a slight blush, and the ladies knew why. 

Only Lucy and Nashi were looking at her with wonder, Lucy had a feeling what it was which made her blush as well. 

As for Nashi, well....it's her after all.

"Is everyone okay?" Y/N asked as he walked towards tugging Cana along.

(A/N: If anyone can guess why...then good for you. However, know that chapter will come in due time, I don't have the time to invest in that chapter yet.)

"Yeah, no one was hurt so far," Mira said with a smile.

"That's good," Y/N said with a nod while looking around. He left Cana's hand while kissing her on the cheek which made her blush further. He greeted his other girlfriends with a peck on their lips.

However, with Nashi, he had to try to smoothen her brow, as she was still frowning.

"C'mon Nashi, don't be so angry, I know how you feel," Y/N said, while holding her in his arms, "We can't exactly go against all the rules."

Nashi let out a sigh, and wrapped her arms around Y/N; while Y/N started rubbing her back.

"Y/N?" Erza asked.

"Hm?" Y/N said in response, looking at her with a smile; while hugging Nashi.

"Why do you say you can't fix the guild? Can't you just revert it back?" Erza asked with a curious expression.

"Well, just before I came down, Master said not to repair it, since he wanted to build a new guild either way," Y/N said with a shrug, "said something about how the Phantom Lords made it easier to replace the guild building."

"Also, everyone has to stick in groups now," Y/N said ending the hug with Nashi. "So, that means Lucy, you're going to be bunking with us today," Y/N said to Lucy with a smile.

Lucy losing herself in the smile, could only respond with "Huh?"

Y/N chuckled while the other's smiled.

"Since the guild has been attacked, we can assume there are Phantom Lords in town," Erza said, following Y/N's thoughts.

"We're also assuming they know where everyone lives by now," Y/N said

"WHERE WE LIVE?!" Lucy said with a gasp.

"Then we'd be safer if we're together," Mira said, "It could be an impromptu slumber party!" Her face brightening up at the idea.

~Timeskip to Y/N's house~

~Third Person POV~

The group was lounging in the living room, after having a big dinner.

Nashi snoring already on a leather sofa.

Cana and Mira sitting on a sofa, and Erza and Lucy opposite them on a sofa.

Y/N and Silvia sitting opposite Nashi; with Y/N's head on Silvia's lap. Silvia's face was red at the act.

As for Ur? She was still in a coma, for the past three days. So, they had to move her into one of the guest rooms on the second floor, which was right next to Silvia's.

Happy was lounging around with Plue, Lucy's spirit.

"Do you guys have any idea why Phantom attacked us out of the blue like that?" Lucy asked, looking towards everyone.

"I'm afraid not, we have had our fair share of scuffles with them in the past, but never anything on this sort of magnitude before," Erza said in a serious tone, with her arms crossed. She was in her purple with red cross pajamas.

"If Gramps wasn't so scared of them, we could wipe out those punks once and for all," Nashi said with a growl.

"Since when were you awake?" Lucy asked while sweat-dropping.

"Come on!" Silvia said with a frown looking at Nashi, "You know the master isn't afraid of them Nashi, you seem to be forgetting he's one of the ten wizard saints," she continued, while caressing Y/N's head; running her hands through his soft dark red-salmon colored hair.

The girls were just staring at how Silvia was caressing Y/N's head, who seemed to have his eyes closed in bliss.

"So, what's with these Ten Wizard Saints anyway?" Lucy asked, with a blush, occasionally glancing at Silvia and Y/N.

"It's an honor bestowed by the magic council," Mira said, "An extremely coveted title shared by the ten most powerful wizards on the continent."

"Really?!" Lucy asked Mira, with her eyes wide open.

"Phantom Lord's master, Jose is one of them too," Happy said.

"He is afraid!" Nashi exclaimed in anger, "He's scared that phantom has too many members for us to handle!"

"Could you please use your inside voice?" Lucy asked.

"That is not true and you know it!" Cana said, having enough of Nashi's childish behavior. "It's just like Master and Mira said before, the consequences of us going to war with Phantom, are nowhere near worth the fight!" She continued with a serious tone while looking at Nashi who couldn't help but look away. "The order of the magical world is at stake here," she said.

"But I don't understand why? Are they that strong?" Lucy asked, after a short pause.

"They ain't got nothing on us, we could take those clowns," Nashi said with a smirk at Lucy.

"Not entirely," Mira interrupted, "If we were to engage them in battle, neither guild would survive, their strength equals ours." She stopped letting the sentence hang in the air.

"From what I heard in the little time that I was here, 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 Four. However, their biggest threat maybe, Blacksteel Gajeel," Y/N continued for Mira, "I'm pretty sure he's the one behind the guild hall's destruction, he's known as the Iron Dragon Slayer."

"He's a Dragon Slayer too?!" Lucy asked in panic, "I thought Nashi was the only one." She looked towards Nashi, who had a face of annoyance. 

"If he's the Iron Dragon Slayer does that mean he eats Iron?" Lucy asked. 

The rest could only shrug in response.

~Next Morning~

~Magnolia South Gate Park~

The people of Magnolia were gathered around a tree in the park. Their expressions were that of shock.

"Excuse us, guys, we're from their guild, please let us through," Erza said as she tried to push through the crowd, followed by Y/N, Mira, Cana, Silvia, Nashi, and Lucy.

What they saw, would rock any one's world.

(A/N: So, I'm not sure if I should show the picture. It's quite....disturbing, instead, I'll assume you know what they're seeing.)

Levy, Jet, and Droy chained to a tree, beat up and signed with the Phantom mark.

The girls gasped at the sight.

"Levy!" Lucy exclaimed.

"Jet, Droy," Silvia said.

Nashi was shaking with rage.

"Phantom Lord did this," Nashi said, her body shaking with rage.

Y/N just clenched his fists. 

"Erza," Y/N said with a growl. She looked at him and nodded.

"Everyone, please return back," Erza said turning to the crowd, "We will take care of this."

Y/N swiftly rose up in the air, broke the chains on the three members and brought them on the ground.

Jet and Droy looked banged up.

However, Levy looked worse. Y/N's hand floated above her stomach, right above the mark, hoping it was not as bad as his thoughts were.

Y/N sighed once he confirmed it was not as bad as he thought; however, his body was still shaking. He felt a hand on his left shoulder, looking behind, to see Mira asking the question with her eyes.

He only responded with a sigh and shook his head.

They all heard the resounding footsteps.

"Master," Erza said, without looking away from the members.

"Y/N?" Makarov asked. Y/N's head shook in response. Makarov looked towards the members, he considered as his children.

"I can take our headquarters being reduced to rubble," Makarov said with a serious tone, his body shaking. "But I will not let harm come to my children without taking REVENGE!" He screamed; the wooden staff he was holding snapped in half.

Shocking Lucy, who had tears in her eyes.

"WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO GO TO WAR!" Makarov exclaimed, as his body was covered in a golden aura.

------

A/N: Yeaaaaaah, this took longer than it should've....but....ehhhhh. Engineering is hard and time-consuming. 

Also, quick question. Do you want me to drag this arc or finish it quickly?

One of them will involve you completely destroying them and potentially revealing one of your unknown powers. You'll still get Juvia don't worry. (Though this will take longer to write, as I would have to figure out how you meet all the element four and would need Lucy to be kidnapped. She needs to know someway or the other that her father wants her back.) 

It will roughly follow the anime. 

OR

Following the anime plot, causing this arc to be dragged.

Also, I will skip the Loke arc, it will happen, but not be shown in the chapter.

Anyways, was that good? Did it suck? What could be improved? Tell me in the comments.

Please do vote as it tells me you're enjoying the story so far.

Peace!
