To be simple I'm going to put a generic disclaimer here: If I owned Naruto, Bleach, or anything that earned me money, I would try to introduce too many unique ideas and have that position taken away from me, so the only thing I own is the plot and a few OC's
"When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life TAKE THE LEMONS BACK! Get mad! I don't want your ****ing lemons, what am I supposed to do with these! Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson LEMONS! DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM! I'M the man who's gonna BURN your house down! With the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!" –Cave Johnson, Portal 2, copyright of pure win.
How Portal 2 has haters I have no idea- I don't even play the game and I acknowledge it's epic proportions.

Ch12: First Blood
IMPORTANT NOTICE: PLOT EDITS HAVE BEEN DONE TO THIS CHAPTER! (1/14/12)
This was war.
The chill in the night air was easily recognizable; there was no denying it- to go after their guild members so blatantly like this was inexcusable.
They did not question Naruto's method of warning them, or the unrecognizable person that was with Gajeel that night, but the guild had risen and left that hour.
The night air was gone.
The day had come.
No one cared.
Why care that they would be seen crushing Phantom Lord into the dust in broad daylight? Anger did not blind them to idiocy, it coaxed them to bravery.
Makarov's boots hitting the pavement were louder with every step he took towards the stone wall, or was it metal? He did not care.
Today Phantom Lord would pay for its crimes.
In blood.
Makarov's steps were silenced as he came to the wall- not because he stopped,
But because the sound of the wall shattering at his approach outclassed the sounds of his mere boots.
"JOSE!" Makarov cried out into the startled guild, "COME OUT AND EXPLAIN YOURSELF NOW!"
"F-Fairy Tail?"
The guild of Phantom Lord, went silent as the rest of Fairy Tail began to walk in, standing next to their guildmaster,
Then they- chuckled?
The entire guild began laughing at them?
"You weak Fairies don't stand a chance against our Master!"
"Natsu,"
Makarov's voice was rather quiet amongst the bold laughter of the ignorant guild-
Ignorant of the pain they were about to experience,
"I hear you," Natsu strode up to Makarov and stood side by side, watching in pure rage as the men began to roll on the floor,
"Karyu no-"
"Jiyaianto-"
"Bakuhatsu Bāsuto! (Giant Explosion Burst of the Fire Dragon!)"

'Out cold…'
Lucy, who did not leave with the others, was sitting in the infirmary where Team Shadow Gear and Naruto were resting-
All out cold.
'I hope they'll be ok,' Lucy thought as she saw their chests rise and fall- the symbol of life. Even Naruto's chest rose and fell, through the grimaces on his face and the sweat on his forehead, he still slept soundly,
Or was he only sleeping in a nightmare?
"Still asleep?"
Lucy looked up from her fallen comrades and saw Mirajane, who had also stayed behind,
"Not a peep," Lucy and Mirajane yawned simultaneously- neither of them had gained any sleep since the night when Naruto had woken them, "Why didn't you go Mirajane-san?"
"Makarov asked me," Mirajane lied- she was a weak link and she knew it. Worst of all, as proven by Fu, Phantom Lord knew it.
'Lisanna,' Mirajane clenched her fists out of Lucy's sight,
"I think I'm going to go get a breath of fresh air," Lucy said as she stood and stretched, "I'll be back in a bit,"

Flames; ruin.
Phantom Lord's flag burned as Phantom Lord stopped laughing, whether because of being knocked out or shutting up, or due to anger at their powerful technique.
It had not taken long for everything to descend into chaos as the entire building began to crumble. The use of Gattai Mahō (Unison Raid) between one of the wizard saints and a dragonslayer was nothing to laugh at.
Especially since the attack destroyed the majority of the inside of Phantom Lord's base- and in some cases: the outside.
At the moment there were none of the Guild's S-rank mages however, which made the guild easy pickings.
It also made Erza Scarlet uneasy.
Charging into battle and winning overwhelmingly was not so often, and key players in the guild were missing in this fight- the top six mages and the guild master.
She had taken down a good dozen already with a quick melee combo in a matter of minutes- but it didn't do much to the overall standings. Phantom Lord was huge. If she took out a dozen with every swipe with about three good swipes a minute, she would take out about a fifth of the guild's weaker members in an hour. They were that large.
But she wasn't alone, and without a good half of those six S-Class mages, this base would fall hard- Jose Porla or not. But they knew how to play this game.
And they were playing it well.
Duck, roll, upward slash!
Erza executed the attack perfectly and knocked the Phantom Lord member flying, and nearby she saw Happy throwing melons at the mages, bringing a smile to her face,
If only they would try aggravating them again after this,

'There she is,'
Gajeel looked down from the framework of the ceiling, recognizing the swordswoman as she dispatched the Phantom Lord members one-by-one, rubbing his side as a phantom pain returned,
'That bitch that kicked me-'
"Gajeel,"
Gajeel sneered as he recognized the voice,
"Don't tell me, I should wait and follow Jose's plan. I don't give a shit! I'm going to kill that woman for what she did,"
"Then do it the way that would hurt most," Aria smiled knowingly as he put his large arm around Gajeel's, "Master is waiting. This time it will be our victory."

"No new books?"
"I'm sorry Lucy-san," The book keeper apologized, "You were only here last week- we only get new books every other month,"
Lucy sighed, "Its ok, I'll see you later than,"
"Bye Lucy-san,"
Lucy left the bookstore and sighed, she had visited all the places where she could possibly go to find a new book to read or something, but there were no new books!
She wanted to tear her hair out- she had to stay behind instead of go fight Phantom Lord, and now she had nothing to do, this was so frustrating!
She grunted as she saw it begin to drizzle; she held the unfinished work close to her as she made her way to an alleyway, where she could get out of the rain for a bit,
She sighed, clutching her own novel in her hands. She had hoped to find something to help with the chapter she was in, but nothing new? What would she do?
She was being over dramatic; it wasn't like things would be boring around here. She could think up some inspiration on her own-
"Hello there,"
Lucy paused as she heard the sound and turned towards the source, seeing a man with spiky green hair and a brown coat approach her- he looked somewhat French,
"I would like to spend a moment alone with you, Mrs. Heartfillia,"
'They know me?' Lucy backed away from the strange man, "What do you want?"
"Our master requests your presence," Lucy turned behind her as she heard the sound of a woman's voice- "Wōtā Rokku! (Water Lock!)"
Lucy looked around frantically as water suddenly surrounded her on all sides, causing her to lose her breath…

"JOSE?"
The air shook, if it was possible, as Makarov stormed up the stairs, everyone in his path knocked out by his presence,
Then he met the door leading to the master's room.
It didn't last long.
Makarov's Kyojin no Gekirin (Giant Wrath) obliterated it in a blast of yellow light, revealing him standing in the room.
The floor cracked and the dust fled his position.
"Oh, hello there,"
"YOU HAVE THREE SECONDS BEFORE I STOMP THAT GRIN DOWN YOUR ASS!" Makarov shouted as his power flooded the room- the walls and shuddering and the carpet tearing,
"ONE!"
Jose snapped his fingers,
"TWO!"
Makarov suddenly lost his guards as Jose's thought projection came into his sight-
"THR-Lucy!"
"I think you should hold on to your horses Makarov," Jose motioned to the thought projection as a blade suddenly appeared near her throat-
"NO!"
"Metsu! (Annihalation!)"
Makarov was suddenly overcome with pain as a magical energy began sapping his own powers- causing him to fall to his knees,
"Now you see, you were very rude- storming my wonderful guild like this," Jose stood and walked over to Makarov, standing feet from him as Aria's magic continued, "Lucky for you I am not here, but that does not mean you will escape unharmed,"
'Thought projection?'
"Tetsuryūkon! (Iron Dragon's Club!)"
A loud crack was heard as a long steel club made contact with the jaw of the guildmaster- sending him flying as Gajeel landed from his perch, taking off after him,
'That red-headed bitch will cry when I'm through with this old man,' Gajeel reached the man and prepared another blow, 'This will be her pain!'

Sol looked at his master anxiously, "Did we make it in time?"
His master, Jose Porla smirked, "Yes. Those fairies will be retreating at any moment."
"Juvia knew that we would make it,"
"What next?" Sol asked as he looked at the imprisoned Lucy Heartfilia and his fellow Phantom Lord members, still standing in the alleyway, in the rain, "Should we take her back to base?"
"I will take her back to the base," The wizard saint responded, a loud roll of thunder cracking as he spoke, "You will take their guild and use it as a trap. Take out as many as you can."
"Juvia thinks you are going to bring that,"
"And Juvia is correct," Jose grinned, then turned on his heels and took the unconscious blonde girl over his shoulder, "Gajeel and Aria have enough to start it up, Fu is coming to back you up on foot so don't worry,"
"Yes sir," Sol and Juvia replied as their master disappeared,
"Then let's go," Sol grinned sadistically, "We should prepare a welcoming party for the fairies,"'
"Juvia will use the rain to scout ahead," Juvia said as she let herself dissipate into water, disappearing from sight,
"Juvia is one with the rain,"
"Good then," Sol laughed, "Maybe we could finish up these punks before Master or Fu get here,"

'Master's Magical energy has weakened-' Erza realized the anomaly as she fought through the horde of mages, 'What happened-'
CRASH!
The ceiling above them broke with a mighty force and a falling figure was seen rocketing towards them-
"MASTER!"
But before they could act he had already crashed into the ground between them and the newly drawn line that separated them from Phantom Lord,
Erza grabbed Makarov off the ground, desperately checking for signs of life-
"You! Bitch!"
Erza jumped back as Gajeel Redfox implanted his foot into the ground where she had been standing,
'We can't win this fight now,' Erza's eyes scanned the base, searching for any of the other S-Class mages, "Retrea-"
"M-Master?"
Erza's words were interrupted as Natsu walked up beside her, looking at the man in her arms and then at Gajeel, who was grinning madly,
"Where is your confidence now huh?"
Phantom Lord began to snicker, as Gajeel's comment sunk in,
"You think this is funny?"
Natsu's voice boomed throughout the base,
"Natsu get back-"
"No, I will stand right here,"
Erza was speechless as Natsu cut her off, clenching his fists,
"You think that you can just wage war with Fairy Tail like this? That you can defile our members and laugh at us like this?"
Erza stood and walked towards the rest of the members of their guild, preparing to retreat, knowing she couldn't convince him to stop
Gajeel smirked wider,
Natsu's eyes narrowed,
"You took it too far,"
Natsu raised his arms to his side, both burning brightly with his Karyuu no Teken (Fire Dragon's Iron Fist),
"With a flame on the right hand and a flame on the left hand; When you combine the flames together the wrath of the Fire Dragon comes down upon the earth!"
Natsu clapped his hands together, creating a great fireball in his hands that expanded as he brought his hands apart,
"Turn the dust to ashes! Karyu no Koen! (Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame!)"
Natsu unleashed the flame upon the guild and only increased its power as he heard the screams coming from them, turning towards the rest of his guild as they began their retreat,
'They won't get a blast this weak if they come after us again,' Natsu thought angrily as they assisted the other mages on the run home, 'Because next time it won't be just me, everyone else will join in,'
Natsu grit his teeth as he saw Makarov being carried away,
'Igneel give me strength,'

"Puu-puun…"
Plue, one of Lucy's lesser spirits, looked at the two people capture his owner and quivered.
Lucy was in trouble!
Painfully knowing that he couldn't do anything on his own, he started the trek back to the guild, where he knew someone would be able to help him,
"Plue?"
Mirajane looked down at the wet celestial spirit that was panting at the guild doorstep,
"Where's Lucy?"
"Puu-puun!"
Mirajane watched as Plue suddenly put his hands to his throat and pretended to choke himself-
"She's been kidnapped?"
"Puu-puun!"
"By who?"
Plue spun himself around once; pulling his hair up slightly and getting several articles of clothing from somewhere, making himself appear like-
Mirajane immediately recognized the person he was imitating; Jose Porla!
"This is bad!"
Mirajane was about to move when Plue put up his hands telling her to stop, then he did another imitation,
"Two of the Element 4 are coming here?"
"Puu-puun!"
"To set a trap?"
"Puu-puun!"
'Damn it,' Mirajane looked over to the four unconscious members at her side, 'I can take them, but I have to make sure the others are ok-'
Drip-drip…
Mirajane grit her teeth as she recognized the sounds of footsteps coming from the main room of the guild, knowing that at least one of them was here,
"Why, this is such a boring place,"
The voice seemed loud- how close was he?
"It certainly would have been worse without Gajeel touching it up though, good thing that-"
'Even if I don't know where the other person is, I can probably use three short bursts of Satan Sōru (Satan Soul) if I split it up,' Mirajane clenched her fists, 'I'll have to make quick work of this,'
Mirajane heard the footsteps draw nearer and prepared herself,

The guild was just as he commented before- messy from Gajeel's assault. He knew someone else was here and so he hoped that aggravation would bring them out.
Either they were asleep, or they were deaf. He knew that in English (being brought up to speak French) that his words were at least insulting-
"Puu-puun?"
"Hm?" Sol looked down at the white… thing coming from the infirmary, "What's this?"
The thing seemed to be interested in him as well, as it waddled up to him cutely, stopping a foot from him or so,
Sol crouched as he looked at the thing eye-to-eye, observing it thoroughly as he thought,
After a moment, he spoke, "Guess that weird spike of killer intent was just me, maybe there isn't really-"
"Jaakuna Supāku! (Evil Spark!)"
CRASH!
'Henshin Mahō! (Transformation Magic!)' Sol's eyes bulged with pain as the two hands smashed into his torso, causing him to go flying back into the guild wall, where he blinked-
Only to see 'The Demon' right in his face,
"Don't you fuck with Fairy Tail!" Mirajane shouted as she thrust her palms forward again, "Ebiru Ekusupurōjon! (Evil Explosion!)"
Sol had no time to respond as Mirajne's palms, both swarming with water, smashed into his already damaged torso- causing him to turn-
To mud?
'Damn it!'
"Purature Tsunata! (Platre Sonata!)"
Mirajane let gravity take hold of her and fell to the ground, barely avoiding the giant rock fist that smashed into where she had been,
"Close one their mademoiselle," Sol said as he saw her land gracefully on the guild floor, which ended with her turning towards him and noticing the burn marks on his chest, "You almost killed me with that lighting spell you cast, as expected from another S-Class mage as myself,"
Mirajane waisted no time and in a single step, closed the distance between the two,
"Dākuparusu! (Dark Pulse!)"
Mirajane unleashed a blast of dark energy towards the man at point-blank range, but the man fell flat on the floor and slithered towards her and in a second- binded her.
"Daichi Ketsugō! (Earth Binding!)"
Mirajane winced as she saw her skin to be covered by dirt, as well as her power begin to fade,
'That was round one,'
"So you can't use the power for as long as you need it eh?" Sol laughed, bringing his head infront of hers and looking her in the eye, "That's good, two weaknesses of a great mage. Master will be pleased,"
'Gotcha!' Mirajane smirked, "Nemuri! (Sleep!)"
Sol looked away just a second late, causing him to fall into a deep sleep,
"Juvia thinks that you will not defeat her,"
Mirajane looked over and saw Juvia, the other member Plue warned her of, walking towards her from the outside, "Especially with no energy left,"
'I need to get out of this guy's grasp,' Mirajane struggled to move, the effects of Sol's Daichi Ketsugō (Earth Binding) were still there, as well as the (sleeping) man himself, 'I can't use Satan Sōru! (Satan Soul) with my hands stuck like this-'
Juvia stood in front of her, the same emotionless expression on her face, "Goodbye then, Mirajane-"
"Hari Jizō! (Needle Jizo!)"
Mirajane was shocked as white needle-like hairs suddenly smashed into Juvia, causing her to dissipate into water,
"Are you alright, miss?"
Mirajane looked up to see the same man they had met when they dropped Naruto the other day,
"T-thank you," Mirajane tried to find words to express towards the stalker they had met before, "Why are you here though?"
"To save beautiful women like you from harm!" the man chuckled, "All jokes aside, this is Fairy Tail right?"
"Yeah," Mirajane pointed at the door with her recently freed hands, "Our sign is on the roof over the door outside,"
"…" the man paused in thought, "Kid, how many more times can you do that thing with the sexy clothing?"
"Why are you asking?"
"Because in about," he looked at his wrist, "Three minutes the rest of your guild is going to get here."
"Why is that a problem?" Mirajane asked, "We defeated the ambush right?"
"Yeah, the ambush," The man pointed out the window nearest the lake, pulling out a pair of binoculars, "Would you mind looking out that window for a minute?"
Mirajane took the binoculars and looked out the window-
"…" Mirajane blinked, took the binoculars off, blinked, and put them back on, "W-what the hell is that!"
"Phantom Lord's retaliation,"
0-0-0
"Idiot…"
An elder woman was looking down on Makarov as he lay, observing his skin solid green and is sickly state. She had short pink hair tied in a bun with two bangs bordering either side of her face, red eyes, and wore a crimson cloak with white additions- like prehistoric, smooth stones,
"We were ambushed," Alzack Conel, a mage that immigrated from a foreign land to come here long ago, if he wore the hat you could consider him straight from the old west, "We don't know what exactly happened-"
"Of course you don't, you were ambushed," Alzack slinked back at the woman's harsh words, "What about the rest of the guild?"
"We did alright," Bisca, a woman with long green hair spoke up. She wore a short black dress with white trimming; also an immigrant from a foreign land, and also someone who easily identified with long-ranged weaponry, "But we did get some minor injuries-"
"How badly did you lose?"
Silence.
"We…" Bisca stumbled as she tried to put her sentence together, "We retreated- all we really did was knock off the weaker mages and burn the place to the ground,"
"Heh," the woman smiled, "Of course you would burn the place down,"
Bisca and Alzack were about to accept the comfortable situation,
Until,
"Now get out, I hate humans!"

"Lucy was kidnapped?"
The group assembled by Mirajane to deal with Phantom Lord's attack consisted of Erza, Cana, Grey, Jiraiya, and herself. She didn't want to get everyone upset at the news so they met in the infirmary, but there was little she could do about it, they would notice eventually,
"Damn it!" Grey put down the binoculars as he too saw the incoming fortress, "How the heck do we destroy that?"
"There are two ways I can think of without knowing exactly what it is," Jiraiya put up two fingers, "Destroy the inside, or destroy the outside. I can do both, but not at the same time-"
"Laxus!"
Cana's shout interrupted the old sage,
"Damn it!"
Cana slammed her fists on the table as she vented, "That asshole!"
"He's not coming?"
"Not unless Lucy and I fulfill his every need. Pervert…"
Grey clenched his fists, "Instead of helping us-"
"I can't find Mystogan either though," Cana clenched her fists, "We're on our own."
"Gildarts?"
"Out of the country for all I care!"
Grey shrunk back at that- he didn't know why she was so upset,
"Naruto and Shadow Gear are still out, and they will be coming after us," Erza said as she walked in, "I don't know what to expect, but we got out the bomb lacrima-"
"Bomb Lacrima?" Jiraiya seemed interested, "How does that work?"
"When you hold the lacrima you pour magical energy into it, which sets the time until it explodes, and the amount of energy put into the blast," Erza took one of the dangerous lacrima and tossed it carelessly in her hands, "The only problem is that it can be overridden by the enemy, which allows them to throw it back with a smaller limit-"
"So the best way to use them is in large barrages," Jiraiya concluded, "And we probably don't have a way to bombard them all at the same time like that do we?"
"That is the problem," Erza said, "But even so we can still bring several with each of us, it wouldn't hurt, but the main problem is that moving fortress-"
"As I was saying before, I have a way," Jiraiya seemed serious as the looks of the younger mages locked on him, "How long could you hold the fort?"
"It depends on how they attack," Grey replied, "A lot of us are injured, tired, and weakened. We couldn't fight them on a full-scale war at this point."
"Then we'll have to take a gamble," Jiraiya jumped onto one of the empty cots and crossed his legs, placing his hands in a seal, "I need twenty minutes."
"For what?"
"To charge," Jiraiya replied, "In twenty minutes I will have gathered enough energy to summon aid to boost my power high enough to ensure we all get out of this alive."
"Why are you helping us again?" Cana asked as the man closed his eyes,
"Because that blonde over there is the kid of my student, and when this is over, he'll be mine as well," he smirked, "Someone needs to stay here in case something goes wrong; I can't attempt to move while I do this, let alone talk. If I break my concentration I'll have to start over as well."
The room went silent as Jiraiya began his concentration,
Mirajane looked at the four unconscious mages and the meditating sage, "I'll stay,"
"Then it's decided," Erza said, looking out towards the window where they knew the fortress was coming from, "We'll have to at least distract their main assault while preparing for individual members to attack the guild. Grey and Cana, you will get five other mages to come with us to attack the fortress, and everyone else will prepare to guard the guild."
Grey and Cana nodded before moving to leave-
"Elfman will stay here with Mira, Macao and Wakaba will lead the remainder of the guild in guarding the base."
"I'll be fine Erza-"
"I know you will," Erza replied, "But I won't take any chances, we have five people to protect and the guild itself."
Mirajane lowered her head,
"I will head out now, once you two gather your five each come to back me up, understood?"
"Yes!"
"Move out!"

"Like hell I'm going to wait for Master's little joy ride to walk here when I can do that myself," Fu muttered as she walked through the streets of Magnolia, stopping as she noticed a familiar presence, "What happened Juvia?"
"Juvia and Sol fought Mirajane," Juvia materialized from a stray puddle, appearing in front of the mint-haired girl, "We almost won, but then a man with white hair attacked us. He was too powerful and Juvia had to retreat."
"They took out Sol then," Fu thought for a moment, then smirked, "It doesn't matter, Abisu Bureiku (Abyss Break) is the least of their worries,"
"Juvia thinks Master planned to use that instead,"
"Hmph," Fu sneered, "I need to be there in order for it to initiate, does he really think that I'm going to go back there when all I want to do is to stomp this guild to the ground?"
"Master does not always make sense to Juvia either," Juvia replied, "But Juvia is not master; master is master."
"But that doesn't make me his slave," Fu replied, walking past Juvia in the direction of the guild, "You can do what you want Juvia, but I'm going to take revenge on those bastards."
"Juvia will report back to the master then,"
Fu paused and turned over her shoulder,
"Then give master the bird for me,"

Lucy's eye's fluttered open as she came back to the realm of the conscious, realizing she was strapped to a chair in the middle of an empty stone room,
"Where am I?"
"In capable hands, Miss Heartfillia,"
Lucy looked over her shoulder to see a man approaching her,
"Who are you?"
"Jose Porla, master of Phantom Lord and wizard saint," he frowned when she didn't seem impressed,
"Why did you kidnap me?"
"I am simply fulfilling orders-"
Lucy sneered, "Who said you had the right to go kidnapping people from other guilds-"
"Your father," Jose smirked as he saw Lucy lose her confidence, "And in the process this dreadful conflict has occurred- I must thank you for your little rebellious act that ended you up here; without it, I would never have the chance to start this war,"
'M-my fault?' Lucy seemed distraught,
"Your friends were easily defeated when they tried to attack us, including your master-"
Lucy grit her teeth,
"And now all that is left is Titania and the retired Demon," he smiled, "Against five S-Class mages and a wizard saint, you have no chance-"
Lucy suddenly stopped frowning, then smiled? "Then we win."
"… What?" The man paused, amused by her logic, "Five S-Class and a Wizard saint, against two S-Class-"
"That's why," Lucy said, "You're forgetting something important; we aren't just a guild, Fairy Tail is a family,"
Lucy smiled confidently as she remembered all the times she spent with Natsu, Happy, Grey, Erza, and the rest of the guild,
"And if I know Natsu, the odds only make him stronger," She gave a defiant gaze towards the guild master, "You don't have a chance!"
"Famous last words I imagine," Jose shook his head sadly, "Where did all the talents of Mrs. Heartfillia go then? I know she was a great Celestial Spirit mage,"
Lucy twitched, "What do you know about my mother?"
"I know a lot," he smiled as Lucy prepared to interrupt him, "I did know her, after all,"
Lucy stopped forming the sentence in her mind as she heard the words,
"You what?"
X=X=X
Cut!
Note that I also posted this in the last chapter so if you already read it, just skip it.
Why did I re-write ch11 & 12 (for those of you who read the originals)? Very simple- they sucked.
This was something I started to realize on my own, but it took one of my viewers bring it fully to my attention. It kind of passed by me because I liked where I was going, but I came to a quick, simple realization of a big problem; I didn't have an explanation for introducing Tsunade and Orochimaru here, let alone having Orochimaru take sides with Phatnom Lord. That was a n00b author moment for me and I will try to be more careful about those again. Thank you Lednacek for pointing this out to me before it got out of hand. If I go off on a tangent like that please tell me so I can fix it.
I liked my idea, but it wasn't working out. I realized about half way into (starting) ch13 that there would be too many 'boss' fights- WAY too many. If the Narutoverse could so easily cross over into Fiore, than why wouldn't chakra be more common? I intentionally made it very rare and unheard of, so that couldn't work out. Just a minor setback guys, nothing too big.
Couple of important notes to this chapter;
-Makarov and Natsu used Unison Raid! (That was an attack I generated btw)
-Jose himself came to pick up Lucy, and Plue saved the day!
-What difference does it make if Gajeel was up in the room with Aria? You will find out! Later! Not that mysterious, but still unrevealed-ish
-Sol is down for the count and 1/3 of Mira's Take-Over has been used, Jiraiya to the rescue?
-Wow… when I looked up Porlyursica I got a spoiler on accident… what an amazing spoiler… heartwarming… I'm trying to make you want to go read it because I know some people don't like spoilers and I'm messing with their heads xD
-I never really understood why they never went further with the idea of Bomb Lacrima- Macao and Wakaba get these huge bags full of them and then they don't use any. It kind of made me wonder what happened to them when the guild got destroyed… I haven't seen too much of anything on them anyway, I like having my otaku colors shine! I love noticing those random things that make fun twists!
-Erza is in charge, Jiraiya prepares to enter Sage Mode, and the war is starting!
-Why the heck are Shadow Gear and Naruto still out?
-Jose knows Lucy's mom? :O
The war will be fun.
The poll I did a while ago still relates to this story even with the plot edits, just to let you know.
Read, rage, review, tell me how badly the original 11&12 sucked… Maybe it still isn't as good as it should be? Maybe eat a cookie? Give me one if you go for the cookies though,
~Crunch! (Random Cookies) :D
