Chapter 18 - War 2

"why don't we do anything about it gramps ? " Natsu grumbled as he smashed nearby wooden table

"They just prove their worth just by attacking like cowards we don't need to retaliate to those idiots" Makrove replied cooly drinking beer while inwardly thinking "sigh.. by the force of lightning it is most likely to be Ray , has he joined his father in his madness . Will I have to fight my own grandson for Fairy tail . Forget about fighting without gildarts I don't think I can defeat him... fairy tail is are at very big disadvantage".

"Master are you saying we should do nothing about it ?" Erza asked not accepting what master said.

"Yes. the fight between guild is strictly prohibited by council " Mater replied finishing his drink.

"But they attacked us first and they geting awaya with it" Ray argued still.

"I made my decision we are not to retaliate to those fools " Makrove said and he ran awaya.

-------- Lucys house ------

In the room Lucy , Natsu , Gray , Happy and Erza where sitting around chatting and eating there food . Lucy just learned to go with with the flow and let them do as they like.

"So how long since fairy tail and phantom guild had such rivalary" Lucy asked.

"As long as we can remember.." Natsu said while gobbling down food.

"Yeah , they will always pick some reason to bother us from longest time " Gray replied while stealing from Natsu's plate while he was stealing from Happy.

"sigh.. it's not always like this it mainly started when our Master son was banished from fairy tail and from then own we had been considered enemies more than rivals" Erza explained while nibbling on her cake.

" Wait that means Phantom guilds master is Master Makroves son. " Lucy exclaimed.

" No matter who they are we are fairy tail and we will not loose to those loosers" Natsu said with anger boiling.

"hmmm it's hard to say about that , the Phantom guild strength is equal or even more than fairy tail , Their master Ivan is a saint class wizard like Master also an elite group called element four they are like our S class mages. They also have an dragon Slayer his named is gajeel." Erza explained .

"Dragon Slayer I thought only Natsu was only remaining dragon Slayer left " Lucy exclaimed while looking at Natsu who had an annoyed face .

"sighh well Phantom guild also have another power house saint don't they?? " Lucy explained with a sigh she didn't need an explanation about their last power house . The tale of lightning flash real name Ray have spread across the country and she also visit the grand canyon that is said to be created by the lightning flash while trying to save the city from dark guilds , That incident was wide spread and many song and story were written of how the fight occured and the battle left the destruction of the biggest mountain in fiore by the flash in order to save the whole city from Cannon blast. { well only some know what actually happened }

Collective goans can be heard from the others when Lucy said about him.

"You're right about that he is biggest problem fairy tail will face , not only he is said to be stronger than master he wouldn't even think of harming him" Erza said with a head ache.

" Why ?? " Lucy asked confused.

" Although it's not a secret not many know he is Phantom guild masters son ,Laxus younger brother and master's...." Erza couldn't finish

"Grandson " both Natsu and Lucy yelled at same time . Everyone looked at Natsu with an with a suprised expression.

"Didn't you know about him about being masters grandson " Gray asked while looking at like he was an idiot.

"No I didn't .. I know that Master Ivan is gramps son and Master ivan is thunder flash father but I forgot to connect the dot of him being Master's grandson ." Natsu nodded with an understanding look

The silence was defining they couldn't believe what they heard . What was dots that he said that need to be connected there were no dots even to coonect .

All of them at that day finally come to a conclusion that.... Natsu is an idiot beyond their imagination.

"Not only that he have a not so bad reputation in fairy tail " Gray said

" What do you mean not so bad reputation .. " Lucy asked because she thought all of them hated each ot

"He helped Fairy tail member one time" Natsu said remember him saving lisana

Lucy looked at them and know that they don't want to continue their conversation so she didn't urge them to continue.

"Anyway looks like he is also in the war against us and probably have to face him of it escalate any further" Erza conclued.

All of them kept on thinking position if they have to fight him.
