The next day when Erza and the team returned from Shirotsume Town, Erza immediately went to Natsu's house to see how he was doing. When she arrived at his house she knocked on his door calling out, "Natsu are you in there?" After a few minutes of no response she opened the door to see if he was home. She couldn't find him in the living room or kitchen and decided to check his room. She found him there curled up on his bed fast asleep.
Erza smiled at how cute and peaceful he looked. When he slept she thought you'd never be able to compare him to a hyperactive teenager. Erza walked up to his bed and sat next to him waiting for him to wake up; she didn't want to wake him up since he seemed so peaceful.
Two hours later Natsu woke up to find his arm in someone's grasp. He opened his eye's to see Erza sleeping with her holding his arm in between her breasts. Natsu turned beet red and practically had steam coming off his face for two reasons. Firstly was from the fact Erza was sleeping on his bed and secondly from where his arm was placed. Natsu then realized that Erza wasn't wearing her armor again, which surprised him since she's always wearing it.
A few minutes later Erza started stirring and Natsu tensed. 'Oh god, I hope she doesn't kill me because where my arm is, but then again she has it in a death grip so not much I can do about it.' Natsu thought in a panic. Erza opened her eyes to see Natsu watching her and blushed, then noticed how she was clinging to his arm and turned darker then her hair was. "Morning Erza, or is it afternoon now?" Natsu asked casually hoping to avoid her wrath.
Erza quickly let go of his arm and said, "It's afternoon now. I came to your house when we got back to see how you were doing, but I didn't want to wake you up since you were resting." Then she mumbled something Natsu couldn't understand. "What was that Erza? I didn't catch that."
"I said you have a comfy bed and I fell asleep waiting for you to wake up, sorry for that."
Natsu just blushed again saying, "It's no problem, I'm glad you came by though. I was honestly feeling lonely, which I guess is my fault since I asked Happy to go with you guys. Which reminds me do you know where Happy is?"
"I asked him to stay at the guild so we could talk privately if you needed to." Erza said while looking down.
"Are you alright Erza? You look tense." Natsu asked worriedly.
"I'm fine, I was just worried you were mad at me for what I told you last time I was here." She said sadly.
Natsu leaned over and hugged her saying, "Don't worry about it, I respect the fact you have past issues you need to confront before you do anything. Though would you mind explaining what it was that happened?"
"Not today Natsu but I will sometime in the future when I'm ready to deal with it." "Alright Erza if that's what you want."
They sat on Natsu's bed awhile longer enjoying each others company. After a little bit Erza asked, "So are you really not mad about how I responded to you?" Natsu sighed and looked her directly in her eye and told her, "I am not mad about it, perhaps a little sad but that's it, you have your reasons and I am willing to wait for you." Erza felt like he was starring into her soul as he said that.
"I'm sorry Natsu, I do want to return your feelings but I can't because of what happened." Erza said guiltily.
"Enough Erza! I told you it isn't anything to worry about." Natsu demanded. Erza flinched slightly at that, she didn't realize she was annoying him with saying sorry so much. She then asked, "Do you want to talk about what happened before we left on the job? Gray told us what you said but I want to hear it from you directly."
Natsu sighed and told her everything that happened, how he and Happy heard a girl scream and he rushed to save her, how he lost control and killed the two bandits. He also told her how he injured the girl even more and ended up putting her on her death bed. "It was my fault she died Erza. If I hadn't lost control like that she probably would still be alive today."
"Don't say things like that, if what you told me is true then she herself didn't think that so neither should you." Erza said softly but firmly. She pulled Natsu into a hug and kept telling him he was her savior and not killer.
After they finished talking about that Erza asked, "Do you want to go to the guild now? I'm sure everyone else is worried about you." "Alright I guess we can." Natsu replied while getting off his bed. He took Erza's hand with out even realizing it and started walking to the guild, while Erza was blushing about the contact.
"Um Natsu, could you let go of my hand before anyone at the guild see's us?" Erza asked embarrassed as they got into the town. Natsu blushed and let go saying, "Sorry Erza I wasn't even aware I had grabbed your hand."
A few minutes later they arrived at the guild and Elfman yelled to Natsu, "Hey Natsu about time you showed up, someone's here to see you." "Wait, who is here to see me?" Natsu asked before he heard a girl yell, "NATSU!" And was glomped from the side.
Erza was starring at the girl who had jumped on Natsu with a murderous glare. The girl had long brown hair, light skin, a cute face and a nice body with large…assets. Natsu looked at the girl and jumped away saying, "Shana what the hell are you doing here in Magnolia?"
"I'm here to see you silly, I had missed you so much since you left my hometown." "Why did you come here just to see me though?" Natsu asked silently praying Erza wasn't going to kill him.
"Well after you saved my family from that monster attacking our town, I just knew I had to be with you. Daddy asked me to bring you back so we could be married." She said cheerfully while clinging to his arm.
"WHAT!" The guild practically screamed while watching what was happening.
"Your dad asked you to bring me back so we could be m-m-married?" Natsu said stuttering. "Yep so lets go already." She said possessively.
"Natsu is there something you're not telling us?" Gray called from the bar. "Hey I have no idea what's going on ice queen." Then Natsu looked over at Erza and gulped…she was starring at them like she was going to kill them slowly and painfully.
"Um Erza? You okay?" Natsu asked cautiously. Erza proceeded to answer by grabbing his arm; separating Shana from him and dragging him out of the guild. "Hey! Where do you think you're taking my fiancé?" Shana yelled at Erza chasing after them.
"What the hell was that about?" Jet asked from the side of the guild. "No idea but anyone want to bet that Erza is going to kill him?" Gray called out to the guild. "I'll take you up on that Gray." Cana called to him then added, "Also your clothes Gray." Gray jumped up running around looking for his clothes while the rest of the guild laughed and thought poor Natsu.
Outside the guild Natsu was being interrogated by Erza about Shana. "Who the hell is she and what is she talking about? Why is she saying she's taking you back to her town to get married?" Erza asked with venom laced throughout her voice. Natsu was very pale by this point and was freaking out.
"I have no idea what she is talking about besides that I saved her and her family from a monster." Natsu said hurriedly. "I have no intention of marrying her, I hardly even know her."
"Really Natsu? Are you speaking the truth? Do you like her better then me? Is prettier then me?" Erza said while shaking him silly. "No I swear to god I'm telling you the truth." Natsu said while freaking out. Then thought about what she asked and said, "Wait are you jealous of her Erza?"
Erza turned red and slapped Natsu on the cheek yelling, "No! Why would I be jealous of her?" Natsu just grinned at her response and said, "Look Erza you have nothing to worry about, I already told you that you're the only one for me." Erza just kept getting darker in color.
At that moment Shana caught up to them and grabbed Natsu dragging him away from Erza saying, "Come on Hubby let's go back to your guild so we can get you prepared for coming back with me." Despite all of Natsu's protesting she just dragged him along. They both failed to notice Erza was seething in rage, not thinking at all about what Natsu said to her.
Back at the guild when Natsu was dragged back in by Shana Gray said, "So Erza didn't kill you Natsu?" "No I think I was dragged away before she had the chance." Natsu said while shuddering at the thought of what Erza will do to him now. 'I hope she listens to what I said.'
Natsu sat down at his usual table and put his head on the table wishing this mess was over while Shana sat down next to him. "So Natsu, when do you plan on leaving with me?" Shana asked while starring at him with a possessiveness that was really creeping Gray and Lucy out.
Natsu just mumbled into the table never, but Shana wasn't listening and turned to Gray and Lucy and asked, "So who are you two?" "We're teammates of Natsu." Lucy told her. "Oh so you're both wizards like Natsu then?" Shana asked them. "Yes we are, what about you?"
"Oh no, I can't use magic, which is why Daddy wants me to bring Natsu back home. None of us can use magic there." Natsu stood up and said, "I'm going back home. I'll see you guys later." Natsu turned and left the guild before they could respond. "Wonder what that was about?" Lucy said to Gray. "No idea."
Ten minutes later Natsu collapsed on his bed already exhausted with today's events. "I can't believe this is happening, Erza probably feels betrayed by me now." Natsu said aloud to himself. A few minutes later Natsu was dozing off when he felt someone get on his bed, opening his eyes he saw Shana crawling up to him like a cat. "Sh-sh-sha-shana, w-what are you doing here." Natsu said stuttering horribly.
"I'm here to have fun Natsu," She said as she crawled over him, pinning him down. She was giving him a perfect view of her cleavage while she was swaying it in front of him seductively. Natsu noticed she wasn't wearing anything under her shirt. Natsu was blushing like mad at this point while trying to get away but froze as Shana nibbled on his ear.
"Come on Natsu, let's have fun together." She said while trying to take his vest off. Natsu was frozen in shock with what she was doing while she managed to get his shirt off. As she got his shirt off she proceeded to take her own off giving Natsu a full view of everything. Her breasts were a little paler then her skin with small pink nipples.
"Shana what are you doing?" Natsu asked while trying not to look at her. "I already said we're going to have some fun together silly boy." She whispered seductively into his ear biting it once again. Natsu groaned at the feeling and tried pushing her away but he couldn't move his arms, he looked at his arms and saw them strapped to his bed frame and couldn't pull them free. He felt like his arms were cut off from his magic.
Shana started trailing kisses along his cheek and down his neck. She bit his neck leaving a small mark before going back up kissing up the other side of his face. Natsu was really panicking now that he couldn't move his arms and was feeling even more drained of his magic. Shana smiled at him while leaning in to kiss him more. She was about to kiss him on the lips when she said, "I'll take good care of you Natsu." Then proceeded to kissing him.
As she slid her tongue into his mouth, Natsu's bedroom door was kicked in by none other then Erza, who was fuming. She grabbed Shana by the hair and threw her off Natsu while summoning one of her swords. "You will stay away from Natsu girl. HE IS MINE SO BACK THE FUCK OFF!" She thundered while brandishing the sword above Shana who was groaning in pain.
Natsu was stunned, 'Did Erza really just say that?' He was also thankful Erza had come in to pull Shana off of him; he was severely uncomfortable with what Shana was doing to him. Erza turned towards Natsu with murderous intent and Natsu felt as if he was shrinking under her gaze.
"Natsu…" She said in a deadly quiet tone. "I will come back and deal with you in a few minutes." With that she turned around and picked Shana up along with her shirt and walked out of his house. Natsu was even paler now; he was terrified at what Erza was going to do to him.
Outside his house Erza threw Shana onto the ground and her shirt after. "You will stop following Natsu around and not trying to get him to marry you." Erza said in a malevolent voice. Shana put her shirt on and was crying silently. She was terrified that Erza was going to kill her. "I'm sorry! I had no idea Natsu was already with someone, please believe me. Had I known I wouldn't have even come here." She said while sobbing.
"Return to your home and do not come back unless it's for a friendly visit. You're lucky I'm even letting you return in the future. I could easily just silence you permanently, but Natsu wouldn't want that." Erza said in a dark tone. "Could I at least say goodbye to him?" Shana questioned cautiously. Erza softened a little bit and said, "Fine but wait at the guild for him. I must deal with Natsu for now." Shana nodded and ran for the guild not looking back.
Erza went back into Natsu's room and stared at him with murderous intent. "Care to explain why you were not trying to escape her Natsu?" Natsu gulped and said, "I can't move my arms because she strapped me to the bed with something, it cut me off from my magic and it's making me feel very weak."
"Is that so?" "Aye sir." Natsu said weakly. Erza took out a sword and cut Natsu's bonds off and he immediately felt his magic rush through his body again. "Thank you Erza, I already feel better." "Not for long…" Erza said darkly and started beating Natsu with her gloved hand.
After five minutes of hitting him Erza stopped and Natsu was whimpering in pain. Erza leaned in and whispered, "You are mine Natsu, and no one else's. Never forget that." Erza kissed him lightly to prove her point before walking to the guild with Natsu dumbstruck. 'She kissed me twice now and yet she says we aren't together. I guess that means we will be at some point.' Natsu thought as he sighed happily.
Natsu left for the guild to see if anything else had happened to only be greeted by Shana at the doors. Natsu jumped back hoping Erza wouldn't clobber him again for talking to him. "I'm sorry for the trouble I caused you Natsu. I'm heading back home to tell daddy what happened." "Don't worry about it Shana, you didn't mean anything bad by it. I hope you have a save trip back and don't be a stranger you're welcome to come say hi whenever you want.
Shana smiled at Natsu and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before leaving for the train station waving goodbye as she walked away. 'I really hope Erza didn't see that.' Natsu thought in fear. He turned around to see Erza glaring at him.
"Oh fuck me sideways."Natsu, Erza, Gray, and Lucy just returned to Magnolia after finishing a job involving finding someone's pet and fighting a rogue Vulcan. Erza had her usual mountain of luggage and Gray and Natsu were busy arguing for pointless reasons while Lucy was staring off into space. As they were walking back to the guild they heard towns' people whispering "Aren't those Fairy Tail wizards?" "Poor things they must not know what happened yet.
The group was confused as to what they meant at that but Natsu was confused by something else too, he could see the guild partly at their distance but it looked different. "Hey guy, is it just me or does the guild look different?" Natsu asked.
"Kind of but not really." Gray said with out even looking much.
Then as they got closer to the guild they all stopped dead in their tracks looking up at the guild in horror. The guild's roof had been pulverized and black iron pillar's were sticking out of the guild all over. The pillars looked to be as big as a medium sized oak tree. "WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO OUR GUILD!" Natsu screamed out.
"I don't know but I intend to find out." Erza said in a worried tone while Gray and Lucy were too shocked to even form a coherent thought.
"Let's go see if everyone is alright and find out what happened." Natsu said while walking passed the ruined doors.
They walk got into the guild to see it just as trashed as the outside was. All the tables were smashed to pieces and the bar wasn't even recognizable. They could hear voices coming from a door which led to the basement at the far back of the guild. "Come on guys, I can hear voices coming from the basement." Natsu called to the group.
They walked down into the basement to find the entire guild sitting there, nursing their broken spirits. "What the hell happened here guys!" Natsu yelled to them. The some people flinched at the sudden noise while Mirajane looked up at them.
"It was Phantom, they did this to us. They got us pretty good." Mira said sadly.
"What!" Natsu and Erza shouted in outrage.
"We couldn't do anything about it, none of us had been at the guild at the time and Master was at a meeting, but he is here now." Mira said.
At hearing this Natsu stormed over to Master Makarov who was sitting on some crates drinking beer. "Yo what's up kiddies?" Said in a drunkenly manner.
"What the hell Master?" Natsu said, "Why are you just sitting here and not doing anything about the attack?" Natsu was fuming at this point.
"There isn't anything we can do without breaking tons of laws with the council." Makarov said while sighing and tipping his jug over to watch the last few drops fall to the ground.
"TO FUCKING HELL WITH THE COUCIL. OUR GUILD WAS DESTROYED BY PHANTOM AND YOU'RE JUST SITTING ON YOUR FUCKING ASS LIKE A COWARD HIDING BEHIND THE LAWS!" Natsu screamed at Makarov causing everyone to stare at him.
"Natsu calm down." Macao called from a table where he and Wakaba had been talking."
"BOY! YOU DARE RAISE YOUR VOICE AT ME? YOU THINK I DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ATTACK?" Makarov roared at Natsu. "I would retaliate if we could without anything bad happening to Fairy Tail." He continued in a softer tone.
Natsu blanched at what the master said, not meaning to shout at him. Everyone in the guild was crushed because there wasn't anything they could do. "I'm sorry Master; I did not intend to shout at you." Natsu said dejectedly.
"It's alright my boy, I know how you feel and we all feel that way to." Master Makarov replied.
"But what are we supposed to do Master? You can't expect us to just sit here and doing nothing!" Gray said enraged just as much as Natsu and Erza.
"Enough! Besides it just goes to show how cowardly Phantom Lord truly is, I'm sure you know that no one was at the guild." Makarov told them.
"Yes, Mira told us that." Lucy said.
"But why wasn't anyone here Master?" Erza asked. "It doesn't make any sense."
"Simple, everyone had already left for home at that point." Makarov said while swaying slightly.
"Well at least no one from the guild had been hurt from the attack." Erza said while calming down.
"You might as well as forget about those cowards. They are just people who can't even attack us head on, what are they gonna boast about? That they destroyed an empty guild? Pretty pathetic if you ask me." Makarov said while looking them all over.
When Natsu heard that he smashed a crate to his side while yelling. "Aint going to happen Gramps! We still can't let them trash our place and get away with it!"
"I'm not talking about this anymore Natsu, so give it a rest." Makarov said with his arms crossed over his chest. "We'll handle job requests from down here until the upstairs is finished in repairs."
"WHY ARE WE EVEN WORRYING ABOUT JOB REQUESTS AT A TIME LIKE THIS? I WILL NOT STAND DOWN AND DO NOTHING!" Natsu raged.
"NATSU! That is enough out of you! We will do nothing to Phantom, just forget about it." Makarov roared while hitting Natsu with a giant fist.
Makarov jumped off the crate he had been sitting on and walked towards the exit while Natsu yelled, "Where are you going old man?" "To take a leak, keep your panties on." Was the only reply he got back.
"Please stop Natsu. This is just as hard on him as it is on you. Master is furious but conflict between the guilds is forbidden." Mira said close to tears. Natsu sighed and patted her on the shoulder before turning and walking out of the guild. Erza looked at Natsu's retreating figure worriedly.
"Mira, I doubt anyone is taking this easier then Natsu. Remember he had been abandoned twice in his life by his family never truly having a home, and now that his first true home is demolished how can we expect him to be calm?" Erza said while still worrying about him.
"That's a good point Erza, I never really looked at it that way." Gray said casually.
"That is true." Was all that Mira said.
"Wait what do you mean by that Erza?" Lucy asked confused.
"Well Natsu had been left behind by his true parents as far as we know, and then Igneel his foster father just disappeared without a trace."
"Oh I didn't know Igneel had vanished, that was who taught Natsu his magic right Happy?" Lucy said.
"Yep, that was seven years ago now." Happy responded.
"Well guys I think its best if everyone turned in for the night." Mira called out to the guild. "But I think it would be best if everyone stayed with another guild member to avoid any attacks."
Everyone nodded at what she said and started filing out of the guild slowly. "Hey guys you can crash at my place then." Lucy said to Gray and Erza."
"Well what about flame brain?" Gray asked. "Oh he'll be fine on his own." Lucy said while dismissing the question with a wave of her hand. With that the group left for Lucy's house after they stopped at Grays so he could pick up some clothes, but walked out with nothing on; nothing at all.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH! GRAY WHERE ARE ALL OF YOUR CLOTHES?" Lucy shrieked while covering her eyes and throwing her suitcase at him.
"Ouch, damn that hurt. You didn't have to throw your suitcase at me." Gray said while rubbing his head.
"Then put on some damn clothes!" Lucy yelled at him. Gray jumped around freaking out not realizing he had even packed what he was wearing. After getting redressed the group headed for Lucy's house. While they were walking to her house some guys called out to Lucy trying to hit on her while she just flipped them off in response.
"Well we really are in a difficult situation now aren't we?" Lucy asked while opening her door only to scream and again throwing her suitcase, but this time not at Gray but at Natsu who was currently sitting at her table looking at the ceiling.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE NATSU!" Lucy yelled at him as he picked himself up from the floor.
"Damn woman, did you have to throw your fucking suitcase at me?" Natsu asked as he got up. "I thought it would be best if we stayed as a group and not separate, you know strength in numbers?"
"Wow, Natsu actually thought of something smart for a change." Gray said mockingly.
"What was that stripper?" Natsu said while pushing Gray.
"ENOUGH! No more fighting right now! It's bad enough that we were attacked by Phantom Lord, we don't need you to at each others throat." Erza said while cracking their heads together.
The group sat and the table when Happy said to Lucy, "Hey Lucy I just remembered something. I was supposed to give you this key thing from when we were at Everlue mansion." He was holding up a golden key.
"Where did you get that?" Lucy asked in surprise, recognizing it to be a zodiac key.
"That really fat maid gave it to me saying to give it to you because her contract with the short balding guy was revoked when he got arrested."
Lucy took the key and summoned Virgo. "Wow I can't believe I got this key so easily." She said as Virgo popped out. When the smoke cleared; Gray, Erza, Happy, and Lucy stared in shock; she wasn't anything like they remembered. She was about Lucy's height now and weight, while still wearing her maid uniform.
"You summoned me Mistress? Virgo asked Lucy while bowed slightly with an arm crossed over her chest.
"Wow Virgo you really slimmed down." Gray said while smirking.
"Slimmed down? She's like a totally different person now." Lucy said with wide eyes.
"Ah yes about that, I can take shape of my master's preferences." Virgo said while turning to Lucy. "So I assume you summoned me so we can form a contract Mistress?"
"Um, yes but can you please not call me Mistress? It makes me feel like an old woman." Lucy said a little embarrassed.
"What about Dominatrix?" Virgo asked noticing a whip on Lucy's desk. "No not that either!" Lucy exclaimed while blushing furiously. "How about Princess?" Virgo asked. "I think that one will work."
"Very well Princess, and for our contract, you make summon me as much as needed." Virgo said simply.
"Oh wow thank you Virgo." Lucy said amazed at the contract.
With that completed Virgo returned to the celestial world and Erza said, "Now you guy's we have a serious problem here." Erza turned to Natsu and Gray and continued, "Your two hygiene is horrible, I will not sleep in a room that smells like sweat so go take a bath."
"But I don't want to take a bath." Natsu said stubbornly.
"Yeah and I'm already in bed." Gray said from Lucy's bed.
Erza picked both of them up and said, "Come on boy's do we have to take a bath together like when we were younger?" Natsu was blushing furiously at the thought of a 19 year old naked Erza washing his back while Gray frantically shook his head.
"WHAT KIND OF RELATIONSHIP DO YOU GUYS HAVE?" Lucy cried out.
"They're the strongest team!" Happy said while munching on a fish.
"More like strangest team." Lucy said still shocked.
At the other side of Magnolia Levy, Jet, and Droy were walking to Droy's apartment. (I have no idea where they were really going but let's go with that.). "Are you sure you want to stay with us Levy? Shouldn't you stay with the other girls at the girls' dorm?" Jet asked her.
"It's fine, I don't want to split up our team." Levy said while walking tilting side to side with her arms out.
Jet and Droy both fell to the ground with hearts floating above them before jumping up immediately. "The three of us can face anything together! Nothing can stop us." Jet said with conviction. Then the next thing they saw was blackness as they were knocked out from behind.
Back with Natsu, Erza, Gray, Happy, and Lucy; Lucy had just gotten out of the bath and said to Natsu, "The bath is free now. You can go on in." But Natsu was passed out slumped over onto the table. Lucy frowned and said to Gray, "Alright then how about you Gray?" Who was currently reading a stack of papers at her desk.
"You really should, it was so relaxing." Erza said with a contented sigh who was sitting in a towel.
"You guys are taking this make yourself at home to a whole new level." Lucy said with a sigh.
"I guess I should change into something more comfy." Erza said while requipping to her pajamas which were pink with strawberry's all over (I know that's different then she really wears, but that seems a lot more fitting for her).
"Wow that's seriously how you change your clothes?" Lucy asked in mild surprise. Erza simply nodded. After a short conversation about why Phantom attacked which no one knew why just that they always had a rocky relationship, the group had gone to bed.
At the Phantom Lords' headquarters Gajeel was munching on iron when a member called out to him, "So Gajeel I heard you had gone and made a mess of Fairy Tail, is that true? His response was getting an iron pillar slammed into his face rocketing him across the guild hall. "HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY DO NOT BOTHER ME WHEN I AM EATING YOU SHITFUCK!" Gajeel roared.
From behind Gajeel their master said, "The die has been cast, I compliment your work Gajeel, but will they respond to the bait of their guild being destroyed?"
"Oh that's not all I did, I left them another surprise for them to find."
"Oh and what was that?" Jose asked.
"Heh those weaklings are going to find out tomorrow." Gajeel said in a cocky tone.
The next day at Magnolia there was a huge crowd surrounding a tree in the southern park staring in horror. "Excuse us, we're from their guild." Erza said as she lightly pushed her way through the crowd followed by Natsu, Gray, Lucy, and Happy.
As they got up to the tree Lucy fell to her knee's looking up in shock with her hand over her mouth. Gray and Erza we're staring with their mouths wide open in shock. Levy, Jet, and Droy were pinned to the tree with iron bands and phantom marks pained over them and all their clothes we in shreds. Natsu was besides himself in rage staring at the horrible sight with his eyes like slits.
"Phantom Lord did this. I'm going to make them pay." Natsu said in fury as his body exploded in flames; the heat matching his anger.
"Natsu! Calm down before you hurt a civilian!" Master Makarov said while walking through the crowd not knowing what they were looking at. When he got up to the tree Erza said, "Master, look at what they did." She herself was shaking in anger.
"I can take our headquarters being reduced to rubble, but I WILL NOT LET HARM COME TO MY CHILDREN!" Makarov roared and shattering his cane with his grip. Power was flowing around Makarov at intense rate making the crowd of people jump in fright.
"WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO GO TO WAR! PHANTOM LORD WILL PERISH FOR HARMING MY CHILDREN!" Makarov roared to the skies.
