Fairy Tail: Robots And Fairies

Chapter Ten: Phantom Lord Pt 2

Phantom Lord Guild Hall

Braedey Martin was no stranger to battles. He had been in many throughout the years; however, he had to concede, he's never been in a fight like this one before. Things were still leaning toward Fairy Tail's favour, but Braedey still had a nagging feeling in his gut that told him something was wrong. Nevertheless, like the rest of his friends, he continued the onslaught against Phantom.

Ultimate Swamptread pulled out another grenade and tossed it at the feet of a Phantom clique in front of him. The shell instantly ignited in a cobalt inferno, blasting the mages off their feet and sending their bodies flying back.

"Yeah!" Natsu exclaimed; his fist covered in flames. "These guys got nothing on us!"

Suddenly, a crash got everyone's attention. The Guild members from both sides ceased fighting and looked up at the large Phantom Lord sign in the room. Standing on the top was a young man with black spiked hair, a black and silver vest, and had iron studs all over his body.

A few members mumbled in fear from the presence of the man whilst Erza's eyes narrowed from recognition.

Gray looked at Natsu, and glared. "You were saying?"

"It's the Iron Dragon Slayer," Erza muttered, "Black Steel Gajeel."

"That is the Iron Dragon Slayer?" Ultimate Swamptread said, taking note of Gajeel's appearance. He closely resembled a heavy-metal musician in Braedey's view. "He sure has the look for it."

Suddenly, Nab, a tan skinned man wearing a black vest and a necklace of skulls, jumped into view behind Gajeel. "You attacked Levy! AGGHH!"

Before Nab could punch him though, Gajeel transformed his right arm into a large, iron pillar and swiftly slammed it into Nab's torso. Gajeel's iron-club arm kept stretching out until it smashed across the floor, forming a trench and knocking back his own guild mate in the process.

"Whoa," Ultimate Swamptread gapped. He certainly wasn't expecting that!

"What the?!" Gray said; an expression of shock portrayed on his face. "He just knocked back his own guild mates with that attack!"

Black Steel Gajeel jumped from the billboard and landed safely on his feet. He chuckled as his iron-club arm reverted back to normal. "Show me what you got. Unless you scum are too scared to face the great Iron Dragon Slayer." He taunted.

This immediately enraged Elfman. "Too scared!" He lunged straight at Gajeel, his arm, which was transformed into some sort of beast-like appendage, was cocked back. "Real men have no fear!"

An amethyst magic circle appeared in front of Elfman as his beast arm shifted into a bulky, stone-covered one. His stone fist connected with Gajeel's shoulder, but had no effect on the black haired man.

"You're Elfman, right?" Gajeel said. He then shifted his other arm into an iron pillar and extended it toward Elfman.

The large white haired man was quick to dodge the attack though. As Gajeel's arm returned to normal, he then kicked his leg out, which instantly changed into an iron-club and stretched toward Elfman at high speeds. Amazingly, Elfman caught the pillar with his still armored hand.

"Ah, not bad big guy," praised Gajeel.

"Well, that's because I'm a real man." Elfman stated.

"Yeah," Gajeel smirked, "well then, let's see how a real man handles this!"

Without warning, a few lumps grew from Gajeel's leg. They quickly stretched out into miniature pillars and smacked into random Phantom members nearby who were spectating.
