Chapter 61 - Phantom... Final... (1/2)
Magnolia...West Part of the City in the Forest...
Silver's house...Early Morning...
Silver woke up and slowly got up, walking to the window as he slowly slid the curtain. Looking outside, it is still early morning.
He wanted to sleep some more but decided not to. Cleaning himself up, he walked out of the house heading towards the guild. As he walks and looking around enjoying the peaceful morning as birds chirps.
Reaching the guild, Silver saw Mira about to open up the guild door, slowly walking towards her Silver greeted ”Morning Mira, you're early huh”.
Mira was surprised when he heard Silver's voice so he looked back, seeing Silver so early in coming to the guild and smiling, she was surprised but still greeted back ”Good Morning too Silver-kun, you're early today” smiling back with a bit of red tint in her face.
”Why come so early?” asked Silver
”I need to do some cleaning, the bas.e.m.e.nt is a mess, so I have to come early” Mira replied, finally done opening the guild and entered.
”Oh Okay, let me help you then,” offered Silver
”Really? That would really help” said Mira appreciating Silver's offer.
As both entered, Silver can see inside is a mess, with the massive iron rods still stuck at the building.
Silver spread out his senses and covered the whole guild building, he sensed Makarov and the others sleeping in the bas.e.m.e.nt and a lot of mess, focusing his sense to the building, he could see that the building is really old and needs to be changed so he thought 'I should just recreate the guild later, or should I build the one they build like in the anime? Yep, I think I should just do that' as he nodded to himself.
Mira was curious for Silver to suddenly stopped paying attention and just stood up in his place. She went and asked ”Silver-kun? Is there something wrong?”
Silver who was thinking came back to reality upon hearing Mira's question, he replied: ”No, nothing's wrong, let's go and start cleaning the bas.e.m.e.nt” as he slowly walked towards the bas.e.m.e.nt to which Mira followed.
Soon, both of them started cleaning while talking as time passes.
Makarov and the others woke up long ago but pretended to be still sleeping because when they saw Mira and Silver together, cleaning and talking and with such a scene, they just didn't want to disturb them.
A few hours later, the guild members started coming to the guild and again making a mess with Natsu starting it, still angry that he did not get to pay back the Phantom Lord guild for what they have done to the guild.
Silver hit Natsu in the head and told him to stop making a mess, and told him to clean up the mess.
Makarov who is chugging down a beer again said ”Silver, I heard of the news”
Silver who's just done with Natsu heard what Makarov said, he asked ”What news?”
”I heard a whole guild branch of Phantom Lord disappeared in Oak Town, did you do it?” asked Makarov curiously.
”Hmmm? Yep, I did, no big deal, didn't I say I'll go destroy them before? And I did just that. Does the council have a problem with it?” said Silver
Makarov just sighed and did not say anything and just drank his beer, Natsu and the others were shocked, they didn't believe Silver yesterday, when he said he's going to go and destroy their guild because it only took him less than an hour and now hearing what their master said, they couldn't help but become stupefied.
”For real? You destroyed a guild alone?” asked Natsu
”I should have come,” said Gray
”Taking on a whole guild alone, I am impress” added Erza
”Oh now that I remember, Erza you are a Princess” blurted out Silver
”W-what!” everyone said
”Ohh? Don't mind it” said Silver
Makarov went eyes wide and thought 'Could it be?! No, but there's a possibility' and just looked at Silver.
Erza went in front of Silver and asked ”What do you mean by that?” with a bit of confusion on her tone.
”Nothing?” said Silver
Erza just glared at Silver, waiting for him to say something else. Silver just sighed seeing Erza's glare and said ”Don't worry about it, you will know sooner or later” and went towards Mira to talk with her.
Erza did not mind it but she will definitely ask in the future and thought 'Why did he say I'm a Princess? Why does he feel familiar? What is he hiding away from me?' but did not ask and decided to only when they are alone.
Time passed...
Afternoon, everyone is inside the guild having their own version of so-called 'fun'. When suddenly someone run into the bas.e.m.e.nt and said ”The Phantom Lord has come!” soon right after, the earth started shaking.
Everyone ran outside into the back of the guild except for two and that one is Silver who is currently sleeping with Mira looking after him thinking 'He's cute when he is sleeping and handsome when awake' as she smiles.
She wanted to go outside also but Makarov told her to look after Silver which she happily accepted.
When everyone got outside at the back of the guild, they saw a building moving through or more like walking through the use of six gargantuan mechanical legs.
Such legs were connected to the building by large, flat round parts bearing the guild's symbol on them, which seemed to appear from rectangular holes on the walls, and bore other, more bulging, bolted round parts in correspondence to the legs' ”joints”, from which a number of pipes jutted outwards, letting out large amounts of steam or smoke from them. Each leg ended in a part consisting of four flat protrusions jutting outwards, granting it more stability when moving and standing still. Due to their great length, the legs allowed the guild to literally cross large bodies of water while remaining suspended several meters above them; in addition, as evidence of their gigantic size, they could reduce solid stone into rubble simply by stomping on it.
As it is walking and reach its destination which is just in front of the backside of Fairy Tail guild with a canon that they call Magical Convergent Canon or Jupiter Canon pointed towards Fairy Tail guild.
Suddenly a voice can be heard saying ”Fairy Tail, how dare you destroy one of my guild buildings and broke my guild members bones. We have come to declare war with you! Fairy Fleas!”
”Jose! Stop spouting nonsense! You're the one who attacked my guild first! if war is what you want I will give you war!” said Makarov
”Heh, Makarov do you think you can still fight me as an equal? You have grown old! But, We will not attack if you are to hand over Lucy Heartfilia!” said the guild master of Phantom Lord guild named Jose.
”Lucy? We will never hand over Lucy to you! Let's fight!” said Natsu with an angry tone.
”Yeah! We will never ever give our friend as a bargaining chip!” agreed and yelled everyone.
”Since you don't want to hand her over, then war it is. Fire the canon!” commanded Jose
Soon the cannon released a compressed beam of energy that wreaks destruction wherever it passes.
Everyone in Fairy Tail guild member seeing the incoming compressed beam towards them felt fear.
”Master, please protect everyone I will stop it,” said Erza as she runs forward and stopped just some meters away before the water as she requips her Adamantine Barrier to try and stop the attack.
Makarov and Natsu tried to stop Erza but the others hold them down. If Makarov tried to take on the full force of the cannon's attack he will suffer grave injuries thus the guild members also stopped him.
Erza who used almost all of her magical power to make a barrier and stop the cannon's attack panted a bit.
The compressed beam traveled fast and just about to hit Erza, But suddenly Silver appeared in front of her.
Erza hurriedly said, ”Get out of the way!”
Silver did not pay heed to what Erza said. Seeing the incoming magical power in the form of a compressed beam, Silver activated his Skill {Time Skill - Nothingness}.
Silver yawned as he just woke up then asked: ”Is that all?”
-----------------------
Silver who suddenly appeared in front of Erza and turned the attack into nothing, yawned and asked: ”Is that all?” as he slowly rubbed his eyes that has a bit of tear in it.
Jose and the other guild members of Phantom Lord guild were dumbfounded, they all thought 'Who is he? How could he stop the Jupiter cannon's attack just like that?'.
Jose the guild master of Phantom Lord asked: ”Who are you?!”
”Me? I'm the delivery guy, also the one that delivered destruction to your guild branch” said Silver nonchalantly and yawned again as he stretches his body.
Jose tried to say something back but was stopped when someone went and told him ”Master, h-he is the one who destroyed the guild” in a panicked tone.
Jose furrowed his eyes brows and said to Silver with his voice that can be heard from afar ”So you are the one who Gajeel called monster huh. I would like to see just what you can do” in an arrogant tone.
”Ohh? Did Gajeel not told you anything?” asked Silver
”So what?! I am one of the Ten Saints Wizards, don't you compare me to him” Jose said as he boasted his title.
Silver just sighed and said ”Natsu, Gray, Elfman, and Erza, they have the Element four so four of you go and fight them, I'll take care of Jose” as he commanded
Natsu hearing what Silver said, he yelled ”Happy! Let's Go” as he runs forward and jumps up as Happy said ”Aye!” and flown up and took hold of Natsu then flew towards the Phantom Lord Guild headquarters.
