Team Natsu cheerfully returned from a mission. "Whew! That was a great job!" Natsu happily said.
"The client was really generous, too!" Happy commented.
"And you have me to thank for making such quick work of it." Aira mentioned.
"Huh?! What are you talking about? You just butt in without asking!" Natsu stated.
"I just thought it'd be too much for you guys to handle." Aira commented.
"Want me to show you if it's too much or not?!" Natsu asked, clashing his head into Aira's head.
"That doesn't even make sense!" Aira said.
Erza breaks up the fight by pushing them away, cracking their necks. "Enough playing."
"Uhh, I'm sorry to interrupt, but..." Lucy said. "I had originally planned to do this job myself..." She shows them the flier with the 500 Jewel reward while carrying Plue. "Why did you all come along?"
"Isn't that obvious?" Natsu asked.
"How do you figure?" Lucy added.
"It's 'cause we're the strongest team in Fairy Tail!" Natsu happily responded.
"There you have it." Aira said as Erza smiles at her.
"Well, okay!" Lucy hugs Plue tighter.
"Between me, Happy, Erza, Cain, and Water Breath, we can pull off any job at all!" Natsu laughed.
"Don't call me that." Aira commented.
"Yes. We make a reassuring team." Erza said.
"What about me?!" Lucy asked.
"We're just teasing! Don't cry, Oopy!" Natsu laughed.
"I'm not crying, and I'm not "Oopy"!" Lucy stated.
"My apologises. I let myself get carried away. I hurt an ally. I will never feel at ease until I make amends. For now, could you please hit me?!" Erza clenches her fist.
"I'm not sure if it's okay to make a joke or not..." Lucy commented.
"I wouldn't if I were you." Natsu and Aira added.
Happy and Cain notices the townspeople of Magnolia are looking at them empathetically. "They're Fairy Tail wizards..." One of them whispered. "They must not know yet..." Another whispered. "I feel bad for them."
"Everyone's staring at us for some reason..." Aira muttered.
"I got a bad feeling about this..." Happy said.
"That's something we can agree on." Cain added.
"They're afraid..." Erza said. When they finally reach the guild building, they see weird pillars. "What...? The guild doesn't look right..." They see metal rods and rock pillars, surging out of the center of the guild.
"What the...?!" Aira stares at the destroyed guild in utter shock.
"What happened here?!" Erza asked.
"Wh-What the...?" Lucy puts her hand up to her mouth, gasping at what she sees. They all stare at their broken and destroyed guild.
"Our... Our guild...!" Natsu gets angry.
"What on earth happened?!" Erza asked.
"Phantom..." Mira muttered.
"What did you just say?" Aira asked.
"Did you just say "Phantom"?" Natsu asked, glaring at her.
"It's frustrating to admit, but they got us good..." Mira said.
Mira directs them to the basement, once a storage room, where all of the guild members are.
"We've always been on bad terms with Phantom..." Jet muttered.
"Wanna go crush 'em?" Droy asked.
"Stop that. We're talking about Phantom Lord here." Levy stated.
"Yo! Welcome back!" Master Makarov greets them back, drunk.
"We have just returned." Erza said.
"Gramps! How can you be so carefree?!" Natsu asked.
"How was it, Lucy? Did the job go well?" Master Makarov asked, ignoring Natsu.
"Uhh, yes..." Lucy replied.
"Master! Do you understand the current situation?!" Erza asked.
"The guild's been demolished!" Natsu stated.
"Now, now. Calm down. It's hardly worth fussing over." Master Makarov takes another drink of his booze. "Phantom, huh? Is that the best those fools can do?" He set his drink down. "Dunno what they're so happy about, attacking an empty guild like that..."
"They apparently attacked at night." Mira said.
"Then no one was hurt? I guess that's one thing to be thankful for." Erza said in relief.
"There's no point in fretting about people who can only do sneak attacks! Forget about 'em!" Master Makarov brushes it off.
Natsu punches the wall, making a hole in it. "I can't agree with that! I won't feel satisfied until we've destroyed them!" Natsu angrily yelled.
"That's enough of that subject. We'll handle our job requests down here until things are fixed upstairs." Master Makarov doesn't focus on the topic that Natsu is complaining.
"Th-This is no time for work!" Natsu yelled as everybody stares at him.
"Natsu! That's enough out of you!" Master Makarov slaps Lucy's butt.
"Why my butt...?" Lucy asked.
"Don't make me angry, Master!" Mira warned. Master Makarov removes his hand and laughs to himself as he runs away.
"Gramps!" Natsu called out.
"Just a sec. Nature calls..." The Master leaves to the bathroom.
"How can Gramps be so calm about this?!" Natsu asked, looking at the ground.
"Natsu. The Master feels just as frustrated as you do. But the council forbids physical contact between guilds." Mira confessed.
"But they started it!" Natsu yelled, thrashing around.
"This isn't the issue." Mira said.
"If that's what the Master wants..." Erza said. "...then so be it."
Lucy returns home, talking to Plue about Phantom Lord and Fairy Tail. "After all, Fairy Tail is..." She opens the door and is greeted by her team.
"Welcome back!" Her team greeted, complimenting about her place.
"...the greatest!" Lucy screamed. She throws her suitcase at Natsu. "There's too many of you!"
"Concerning Phantom... The fact that they've come all the way to this city..." Erza started.
"...means they probably know all our addresses, too." Aira finished.
"Huh?!" Lucy shuddered. Natsu sits on the ground with his arms crossed in a grimace.
"So Mira-chan said it'll be safer if we all stick together." Aira said.
"Everyone is having a bunch of sleepovers now!" Happy stated.
"You're a very young woman. I would feel uncomfortable letting Natsu and Aira sleep here unattended so I decided to stay here as well." Erza said.
"Just so she could relax!" Natsu finally spoke.
"So Natsu and Aira were already going to stay here?" Lucy asked. "But why my house?!"
Happy goes through all her stuff as Plue eats a lollipop. "Her laundry!"
"what are you doing that for?! Why are you both doing that?!" Lucy shouted.
"Whoa, Plue! Where'd you get that food?! Lemme have some!" Natsu asked.
"Oh! Look, Erza! I found some sexy underwear!" Happy shows Erza.
"W-Wow... She wears this?!" Erza's heart pounds fast, blushing a bit.
"I'm gonna sleep now. Keep it down." Aira lays on Lucy's bed, shirtless.
"You guys are making yourselves at home a little too much..." Lucy sweat dropped.
"That said... you guys reek of sweat." Erza turns around and glares at the guys. "We're sleeping in the same room. You can at least bathe."
"Forget it! Too much work!" Natsu refused.
"I'm sleepy..." Aira complained.
"Fine. I guess I could bathe with you, just like in the old days." Erza grabs their shoulders, not minding taking a bath with the guys at all.
"What kind of relationship do you guys have?!" Lucy asked.
"They're the strongest team!" Happy commented.
"More like the strangest team!" Lucy yelled.
Team Shadow Gear are walking around town at night. Two people from above watch them, secretly attacking them to preserve silence.
Lucy is taking her bath. After she finishes, she asks Natsu who is resting his head on the table. "Hey, Natsu. Why don't you go in next?" She gets no response from him. "How about you, Aira?" He was busy reading a couple of papers on Lucy's desk.
"That hot water was nice." Erza is wrapped in towels, sitting on the bed after a nice and warm bath.
"Erza... You guys are making yourselves a little way too comfortable..." Lucy said, exasperated.
"Oh, pardon me." Erza requips into her purple pajamas. "Is that more tasteful?"
"You can even requip your clothes?!" Lucy asked. "Why did Phantom suddenly attack, anyway?"
"I don't know." Erza replied. "We've had many brushes with them in the past, but there's never been such a direct attack as this."
"Gramps should quit being a wimp and just kick their butts!" Natsu growled.
"You were awake?" Lucy sweat dropped.
"You know he's not afraid of 'em. He's one of the Ten Wizard Saints, you know." Aira stated.
"Wait, why are you reading that so nonchalantly?!" Lucy snatches the papers out of Aira's hand. "Urgh!"
"Hey! I wanna know what happens next!" Aira reaches his hand out.
"No! Levy-chan is going to be the first person to read my novel!" Lucy hugs the papers, refusing to give the papers back to Aira. Erza holds out her hand so she can read Lucy's novel. "What's that supposed to mean?!" She shouted at Erza, refusing to give the papers to her. "What are the Ten Wizard Saints, anyway?"
"A title given to the ten most skilled wizards on the continent as determined by the head of the Magic Council." Erza replied.
"Oh, wow!" Lucy commented.
"Phantom's Master is one, too." Happy said.
"So is he..." Erza thinks about Siegrain.
Natsu slams his hand on the table in anger. "He is afraid! The one thing Phantom has is lots of members!"
"Calm down...!" Lucy sweats a bit when she sees Natsu angry.
"I'm telling you, he's not. The master and Mira-chan are trying to avoid a fight 'cause they know what'll happen if our two guilds clash." Aira stated. "They're trying to uphold order in the entire magic world."
"Phantom is that powerful?" Lucy asked.
"Those guys are nothin'!" Natsu brushes off her words.
"No, if it came to an actual battle, mutual destruction would be inevitable. Our offense strength is equal. Thei Master Jose is a Saint Wizard said to be just as powerful as Master Makarov. They also have a group called the Element 4, the equivalent to our S-Class wizards. The two deemed most dangerous of all is Black Steel Gajeel and Satsuki Fujitora. We believe they are the ones responsible for the attack on our guild." Erza stated. "The Iron Dragon Slayer and the Earth Dragon Slayer..."
"Dragon Slayers?!" Lucy exclaimed. "So Natsu and Aira aren't the only ones?! Does that mean he eats iron and stuff while the other one eats rocks...?!"
In the Phantom Lord's hall, Gajeel is eating iron while Satsuki is next to him eating rocks. They are interrupted by an ally, whom Satsuki punches away. Master Jose comes and congratulates Gajeel and Satsuki on their progress. Gajeel says that the "trash" won't react from just that, so he left an extra present with the help of Satsuki. Master Jose is delightful, but reminds them to keep "that person" alive.
The next morning, at the South Gate Park, all the townspeople are in shock to something chained to a tree. "Pardon us. Please let us through. We're guild members." Erza and the others walk through the crowd. They are surprised and speechless to see Levy, Jet, and Droy nailed against the tree, beaten and broken.
"Someone, please let them down...!" A townsperson said. "But... Look at that mark...!" Someone pointed out. "We can't get involved...!"
"Levy-chan!" Lucy cried out for her injured friend.
"Jet! Droy!" Aira called out.
"Phantom...!" Natsu growled, feeling anger boil up inside his body.
The Master of Fairy Tail walks in on the scene, looking at the incident. "Having our pub demolished was one thing... But no one can remain quiet after seeing their children's blood!" Master Makarov tightens the grip around his cane, causing it to break in half. "This means war!"
Lucy visits Levy, Jet, and Droy at the Magnolia Hospital. Lucy remembers about the time when she met Team Shadow Gear for the first time in the guild.
"She even worked so hard to help us just the other day..." Lucy thinks to herself. "They're..." She starts to shred tears. "...unforgivable!"
Inside Phantom Lord's guild building, its members are talking about how Gajeel and Satsuki defeated Shadow Gear, but Fairy Tail breaks their party when they break through the door announcing their arrival.
"We are Fairy Tail!" Master Makarov announced with the entire guild behind him.
The members pile up on Natsu who burns them away. "Anyone will do! Just bring it on!"
The two guilds clash, starting an unforgivable fight.
"Purple Net!" Macao attacks with his fire magic, catching his targets. "Wakaba!"
"I'm on it! Smoke Rush!" Smoke comes out of his pipe, punching all of the targets.
Alzack spins his gun around, ready to shoot his targets. "Guns Magic!" He shoots all of his targets, knocking them out easily. "Spark Shot!"
A member surprise attacks Alzack from behind. "Die!" The member gets shot by Bisca.
"Nice shot, Bisca!" Alzack complimented.
"Your claws need sharpening, Al!" Bisca commented. "Target lock on!" She points her rifle at her targets. "Horning Shot!" A large explosion appears in front of her targets.
Other members aim for Master Makarov. The Master transforms into a titan, hitting the members. "M-Monster!" One of the members trembled.
"You dared to harm this monster's children! Do not think for one moment that human laws will protect you!" Master Makarov angrily shouted.
"H-He's strong!" All the members stand back. "Their fights mean business, too!" Instead of fighting, they all stare at him in fear. "These guys are insane!" Another member shouted. "These are what Fairy Tail wizards are like?!"
"Picto Magic: Wild Stampede!" Reedus paints a group of pigs to attack.
"Wood Make: Dam of Bashful Love!" Laki attacks with her Wood Magic.
"That makes no sense!" A member commented.
"Here's a cat!" The members surround Happy. "This'll be a cinch!"
"Aye!" Happy glares at them with a deadly look. "I'm a wizard too, you know!" He flies in the air, making them clash into each other. "So I'm a cat. Got a problem?!" Happy carries a watermelon over his head, glaring at one of the members.
"Not at all..." A member had seafood stuffed in his mouth.
"Jose! Show yourself!" Master Makarov demanded.
Erza requips into her Flame Empress Armor, slashing her targets. "Where are they? Where are Gajeel, Satsuki, and the Element 4?"
Gajeel watches the Fairy Tail guild fight with Phantom Lord from above. "So that's Titania Erza... Laxus and Mystogan are sitting this fight out, huh? What a mockery..." He snarled. "Still, I can't believe how well everything is following Master Jose's plan... Rampage to your hearts, content, you lowly scum..."
Satsuki ignores her comrade as she watches Aira fight her guild mates. "I have no interest in Erza, Laxus, or Mystogan. I don't even care about this war. My only interest is you. Aira, the Water Dragon King..."
Meanwhile, at Magnolia, Lucy is walking to her home when rain starts to fall. Juvia and Sol appear in front of Lucy. She gets ready to fight, and is about to use her keys, but Juvia locks her, using her Water Lock spell and kidnap Lucy.
Some mages of Phantom Lord attack Laki with Fire and Water Magic. Natsu quickly eats the fire while Aira eats the water. Both quickly saving her. "Now that I've eaten, I feel re-energized!"
"Who are these guys?" A member shrieked. "He just ate fire and the other one ate water!" Some members get scared of Natsu and Aira. "Don't tell me they're one of those...?!"
"I'll blow you all away! Fire Dragon's Roar!" Natsu uses his breath attack.
"Water Dragon's Tornado!" Aira shouted, using his Water Magic to have his targets float. "Now, disappear!" Aira snapped his fingers as the water tornado ate the members. Erza attacks with her Black Wing Armor.
"Wood Make: The Distance Between the Two is Forever!" Laki attacks with her Wood Magic, saying random love quotes.
"It still makes no sense!" A member commented.
"Guns Magic! Mud Shot!" Alzack shoots his targets.
"Requip! Magic Shotgun! Wide Shot!" Bisca changes her rifle and shoots.
Natsu and Aira run into each other with their backs turned. "Not too shabby, bluey!" Natsu grinned.
"Same to you, slanty eyes!" Aira chuckled.
"Whadya say we give 'em all a thrashing?!" Wakaba and the others have their backs facing each other, planning their next move.
"Erza! I leave things here to you!" Master Makarov declared. "Jose is most likely on the top floor. I will go put an end to him."
"Please be careful..." Erza said. Master Makarov breaks the door and walks in to search for Master Jose.
"Guess it's time to wreck havoc now that the main threat's gone!" Gajeel finally joins the fight with Satsuki following him.
Natsu and Aira are attacking their targets with their own Magic, easily taking them down. "Card Magic! Lightning! Reverse Tower! Lovers! Fate of Lightning!" Cana electrifies her targets.
"Ring Magic! Twister!" Loke blows his targets away.
Elfman shouts as he turns his arm into a beast. "Manly! Manly! Only a manly man... is manly!" He easily punches his targets, throwing them around the guild.
"That makes no sense." A member commented. "What's with his arm?" They all wonder what kind of magic it is. "It's Take Over Magic!" They're still amazed of his Magic. "He's turned his arm into a monster arm!" Someone pointed out. "He's Elfman! The guy who defeats monsters and absorbs their power into his arm?!" Someone finally recognizes him. "He's Beast Arm Elfman!"
Gajeel and Satsuki finally join the battle as Gajeel evilly laughs. They all notice them land on the ground, standing tall. "The Iron Dragon Slayer and The Earth Dragon Slayer..." Erza narrowly looks at him. "...Black Steel Gajeel and Satsuki Fujitora!"
"So you two are the ones who attacked Levy?!" Nab attempts to attack Gajeel from behind. However, Satsuki attacks Nab and drags him on the ground along with several members of her guild.
"Thank me later..." Satsuki muttered as Gajeel snorted.
"That girl caught her own friends in that attack!" Gray stated.
"Come at me, scum. The Earth Dragon Slayer Satsuki will take you on." Satsuki turns her hand back to normal.
"Manly men..." Elfman charges at Satsuki. "...are still men, even if they're scum!" Elfman changes his arm into Beast Arm: Stone Bull and tries to punch Gajeel. But Satsuki interrupts by making her leg turn into a pile of rocks.
"Elfman, huh?" Satsuki's arms and lets elongate into a rock pillar and attempts to strike Elfman. "Oh? Not bad."
"A real man must live a strong life." Elfman replied.
"Then how about this?" Satsuki makes numerous smaller and thinner rocks out of her rock leg and hits other members of Phantom Lord.
"You're attacking your own comrades?!" Elfman angrily shouted.
"Not smart to be easily distracted!" Satsuki manages to land a punch on his face using her rock arm.
Elfman is thrown back and suddenly Aira jumps on Elfman in mid-air and launches himself to Satsuki. "Satsuki!" Aira punches Satsuki backwards.
"He sent Satsuki flying!" The members of Phantom Lord are surprised to see Satsuki being punched backwards. "I've never seen that happen before!"
"I'm Fairy Tail's Water Dragon Slayer!" Aira introduces himself. Satsuki gets up and smirks at him. "Let me handle her, Elfman!"
"Damn you! First you use me as a trampoline, and now you're interfering with a man-to-man fight?!" Elfman stated.
"Earth Dragon's Club!" Satsuki attacks Aira, but he endures his attack.
"She attacked the guild... and Levy and the others..." Aira covers his hands in water. "Die!" He uses her rock pillar to toss Satsuki, but she bounces back towards Aira using the rafters supporting the ceiling of the guild. When Satsuki comes down to strike at Aira, he manages to throw a punch at Satsuki.
"He's all revved up now!" Wakaba laughed.
"Sure is nice to be young!" Macao commented.
"Impressively done." Erza complimented.
"Aira! You can have this manly fight! Just give me your word you'll...!" Elfman shouted.
Aira turns around and smiles at him. "Yeah! I'll knock her good!"
Satsuki then gets up. "That had no effect at all."
Aira chuckles and denies her words. "Looks like it did to me."
"That so?!" Satsuki rushes at Aira.
"She's fast!" Aira doesn't expect the kick from Satsuki, crashing to the floor.
"Oh, man..." Gray muttered.
"This is crazy..." Loke commented.
"Come on, now. I know that didn't hurt you, either." Satsuki taunted.
Aira promptly gets up, covered in water. "You know the score, that's for sure!"
"You're cute when you're angry, you know that?" Satsuki said.
"And you're so not my type." Aira said.
"Get ready to be crushed!" Satsuki yelled, attacking with her rock arm which Aira blocks with his hand.
"Don't get cocky, dirt face!" Aira warned, slightly crushing the end of the rod.
"Oh? The rumors were true. You're quite powerful, indeed." Satsuki takes back the rock pillar. "That actually hurt a little..." Her hand is in pain as she turns it back to normal. "So, is that all you got, Tsunami?"
"Don't worry. That was just me saying hello..." Aira replied. "...before our real fight!"
After a competitive glare, they both jump off the floor and go for a fist fight, Satsuki with her boulder fist and Aira with his wave fist. Satsuki kicks Aira. "Heavy...!" Aira commented.
When Satsuki comes in for another attack, Aira sends her flying upwards. Sharp rocks comes out of Satsuki's feet that let her attach herself to the wooden pillars at the ceiling. Aira jumps up and tries to punch Satsuki with his hands covered in water. Satsuki blocks the attack with her rock arms, but is hurled back anyways. "Had enough?" Aira asked.
"Destroying you will actually be satisfying!" Satsuki stated, attaching herself to the pillars again. The guild starts to tremble, making a few wooden pillars in the ceiling fall off.
"Uh, oh. It's started..." Macao stated.
"This is bad." Gray commented.
"What is?!" A member asked.
"This is Master Makarov's anger..." Cana replied.
"The Giant's Wrath..." Loke said.
"No one can stop him now..." Nab said.
"The whole guild is shaking!" The members tremble in fear.
"That's the manly Master Makarov for you!" Elfman commented.
"Prepare yourselves! As long as we have Master Makarov, we cannot lose!" Erza declared.
When Master Makarov reaches Master Jose's room while using Giant Wrath and asks him what was the meaning of his attacks against Fairy Tail, Master Jose responds that they haven't seen each other since the Guild meeting six years ago. Master Makarov attacks Master Jose with his Titan Magic by extending his arm.
However, he is not hit since he only appears as a Thought Projection. Master Makarov asks him if he abandoned his Guild and Master Jose replies that a battle between two of the Ten Wizard Saints would cause a catastrophe and that he prefers a simple, sensible triumph. Master Makarov asks him where he is and Master Jose shows him that he has Lucy captured.
Master Makarov asks Jose why, but he ignores his question and grabs a knife. Aria appears behind Master Makarov with the palm of his hands facing Master Makarov. Master Makarov thinks to himself that he couldn't even notice his presence. Aria uses Metsu, Master Jose says that they wouldn't kill Lucy, at least not yet. Master Jose asks Master Makarov if he doesn't know who Lucy really is and then says that she isn't their problem anymore. Then, Master Makarov falls to the bottom floor.
Moments later, a sudden fall of something on the ground, distracting everyone's battles.
"Such sadness! Where is this sadness coming from?!" Aria's tears can't stop flowing. "Ahh! Is this the sadness of a great wizard ceasing to be?!"
"What is this...?! I'm... I'm out of strength... My magic..." Master Makarov can barely move.
"Gramps!" Natsu and Aira called out.
"Master!" Erza cried out.
"Sadness!" Aria continues to cry his eyes out.
"Yes. This is the magic of Aria of the Great Sky, a member of the Element 4. He can empty a target's magic power. That is to say, he can nullify it." Master Jose stated. "So it looks like we win."
"M-Magic... My magic..." Master Makarov weakly said.
"Master! Stay with us!" Erza carefully holds him.
"What's going on?!" Cana asked.
"This can't be! I don't sense any magic coming from him at all!" Aira said.
"Wait, you mean he's just an ordinary old man now?!" Elfman commented.
"How...?!" Happy asked.
"Gramps! Pull yourself together!" Natsu said.
"What a waste. Things were just getting good, too..." Satsuki scoffed, watching the Fairy Tail members worried for their master.
"Impossible! How could Gramps be beaten?!" Aira asked.
"Just what happened up there?!" Elfman looks up.
"Their master's been beaten?!" Someone said. "For real?!" Their fighting spirit rises up when they realize that they're hopeless without their master. "Here that?! We can beat 'em!" They all grin evilly. "And we got Gajeel, Satsuki, and an Element 4 here!"
"This is bad." Erza thinks to herself as she watches the Mages fight each other.
"Don't get full of yourselves!" Aira attacks with his water.
"Damn! They've..." Gray started off.
"...gotten their second wind!" Loke prepares himself to attack.
"Take this! Tri-Elemental Combination Magic!" Three Mages attack Cana from behind.
"Oh, no!" Cana looks behind and sees the attack coming right at her.
"Cana!" Wakaba called out as he sees the explosion.
"Get it together, will you?!" Macao stands in the way for her, taking the attack.
"You idiot! You can't push yourself that hard! You're over the hill!" Cana scolded.
"Don't call me that!" Macao shouted.
Satsuki cackles to herself. "It's clear how this'll end now..."
"This is bad! It isn't just our strength! The drop in the morale is even worse!" Erza wipes away her tear. "Retreat! Everyone back to the guild!" She ordered.
They all look at her in confusion, why do they have to retreat now when they're perfectly fine. "You can't be serious! What are you saying?!" Gray asked.
"A real man never retreats!" Elfman shouted in pride.
"I can still fight...!" Macao uses his Fire Magic.
"So can I, Erza!" Cana argued.
"No! We don't stand a chance against Jose without our master!" Erza stated. "Retreat! That's an order!"
"Aww, turning tail and running already? You've got no guts, fairies." Satsuki taunted.
"Retreating is sad. It's too sad!" Aria cried.
"Oh, Aria. I see you're still as eerie as ever." Satsuki jumps next to him. "Still, I'm impressed you took out that old geezer."
"It was all per Master Jose's plan." Aria responded. "J-Just superb!"
"Quit crying' at everything. It's obnoxious." Satsuki commented. "So, did we catch this Lucy or whatever her name was?" Aira overhears Satsuki and Aria's conversation when he hears Lucy's name.
"It's sad. The girl named Lucy is being held at our headquarters." Aria replied.
"Giving her a warm reception, huh?" Satsuki said.
"What?!" Aira said. "S-Satsuki!"
"Let's finish things someday, Tsunami!" Satsuki and Aria disappear.
"Lucy's been captured...!" Aira said.
"Retreat! Fall back!" Erza ordered.
"Don't be stupid! We can't just retreat now! We have to get revenge for Levy's team!" Gray continues to use his ice magic until Erza stops him.
"Please..." Erza hugs Gray who looks at her in confusion. "Retreat is our only option now... The hole left by the master is too great!" The Fairy Tail guild members run out of Phantom Lord, getting help for their master.
Aira quickly takes one of the Phantom Lord's member as a hostage. "Yikes! Tsunami! And one of the cats..."
"All right, you." Aira glares at him angrily. "We're gonna have a little chat."
"O-O-Okay! All right!" The Phantom Lord member trembled in fear.
