A Certain Fairy Tail: The Illusion Slayer

Phantom Escalation

3rd person POV:

Opening the door to his home, Touma and Index found, Misaki, Gray, and Erza sitting around a table.

Touma:?

Touma: What are you all doing in my apartment?

Misaki: I live here.

Erza: I thought I was always welcomed.

Gray: I tagged along to see the drama.

Touma: Right...right...and come on man...

Touma:(sigh)

Misaki: Don't look so down, we have guests. Why don't you cook us all something nice?

Erza: We brought groceries with our money as thank you for letting us stay.

Touma: Okay, what did you buy?

Index: I hope it's fish.

Moving over to the kitchen area, Touma checked the so-called groceries they bought.

Erza: Just the essentials.

Touma: Meat, meat, more meat... Salt... And a carrot...a single carrot...

Touma: Don't know what exactly you want me to make with this-

Misaki/Erza/Gray: Meat!

Touma: Vegetables are nice too...

Making his friends a bunch of meat, the five enjoyed their slumber party, despite how sudden it was.

With their bellies full, and bones tired, they all fell asleep for the night.

(Opening theme)

(The next day)

Touma and the gang headed out to see how they could help with the repairs to the guild.

On their way they noticed many people gathering around a tree, and mumbling.

They ignored it at first, till they noticed many of their guildmates made up the gathering.

Now curious, they pushed their way to the front to find...

Misaki:(gasp)

Gray/Erza/Index:!?!

They found Levy, Jet, and Droy pinned to a tree, beaten up and unconscious with the Phantom lord mark on them.

Touma:...

The Illusion slayer's fist clenched with furious rage. Seeing the metal, Touma had an idea who was responsible.
