The next day, Kurama was returning to his growing family, only to see how everyone was gathered in the living room with serious expressions.
"What's wrong?" - Tohru asked as she looked around in surprise, but no one answered her.
"Man, we can't take this anymore!" - Natsu exclaimed as he looked as Makarov stood with an expressionless face - "Old man!"
"What happened?" - Kurama asked with a frown.
"You'd better follow me, so you'll see what's going on" - said Mirajane as she motioned for them to follow her.
Kurama and the others followed Mirajane to the guild infirmary, only to observe how on the beds were the wounded [Shadow Gear] team members, Levy McGarden, a cute little blue-haired girl, and two men, Jet and Droy.
"As you can see, they were attacked and from how they found them, it's obvious that it was the same one responsible for attacking the guild" - Mirajane replied with hostility because she wasn't happy with her family being hurt by an unknown man.
"I see, that explains all the hatred I had felt while approaching the guild" - muttered Kurama as he approached the group.
"We already called a specialist to help them, but she won't arrive for a few days because she has some issues to resolve, though they are not in imminent danger" - Mirajane added, though she was speechless when she saw how Kurama put his hand on the forehead of the [Shadow Gear] team members and used a strange green energy, so that after a few seconds, the trio seemed to have no apparent damage - "Oh."
"Done, now we just need to let them rest for a moment and when they wake up, give them enough food" - Kurama replied as he turned around and walked towards the exit of the room.
Mirajane reacted when she heard this and quickly ran after the white haired man with a curious look on her face - "What did you do?"
"One of my abilities, I just employed my energy to have their bodies regenerate much faster, that's why I said to give them food when they woke up because my ability consumes some of the patient's accumulated vitality" - Kurama answered calmly.
"I think you should inform Makarov-dono that those three are fine" - interrupted Ultear when she saw how the white-haired woman was about to ask something else.
"Sorry, you're right!" - Mirajane exclaimed as she ran towards the place where the guild master should be.
"We better go, something tells me that things are about to get out of control" - said Kurama as the others nodded, and his words came true because after arriving at the general hall, there was no one there, only a very confused Mirajane who didn't know what was going on.
Kurama slowly approached one of the many waitresses working in the guild, only to freeze when he saw how everyone seemed to have decided to go directly against [Phantom Lord].
"Huh? Where are the others?" - Lucy asked as she looked around just as confused as Mirajane, though her expression quickly changed to a smile when she saw that she wasn't the only one on the site - "Kurama-san, girls! Could one of you tell me what happened? I just got here, and I don't have the slightest idea why there's no one in the guild!"
Kurama quickly gave her a quick explanation of what happened, noticing how the beautiful blonde girl's expression changed drastically.
"Levy-chan is hurt!" - Lucy exclaimed, terrified because she couldn't believe that her new friend was hurt - "I'm not going to forgive them for that!"
Lucy was about to continue, when she heard a male voice tell her something that froze her.
"It's good of you to mention that, though I have to make it clear to you that this is partly your fault, Lucy Heartfilia-sama" - said a green-haired, smartly dressed man - "Nice to meet you, my name is Monsieur Sol, one of the [Four Elements] of [Phantom Lord], and we've come for you, Heartfilia-sama"
Lucy paled when she heard the way he was calling her because she hadn't mentioned to anyone about her family, so it was obvious there was only one answer to the question of how they knew about this.
"My father sent them to find me," Lucy muttered in terror.
"Indeed, Heartfilia-sama charged us to find his daughter and bring her back home, he has been very worried" - replied Sol with a smile when he noticed how the girl was trembling.
"It's my fault, it's all my fault" - muttered Lucy as she started to cry.
"Ok, I think I've heard enough" - Tohru said with a frown as she appeared in front of Lucy - "I understand the situation very well, you guys received a mission to find the blonde bimbo, but when you found out that she was in [Fairy Tail], you decided to use it as an excuse to attack us mercilessly, a pretty horrible attitude for a supposed light guild."
"The end justifies the means" - Sol replied with a huge smile - "As long as we complete our mission, what's wrong with us also eliminating one of our enemies?"
Lucy's expression quickly changed to one of fury because despite not having been in the guild for long, she was beginning to consider them as family, especially her closest friends.
"Oh, did I express something that upset you, Lucy-sama?" - Sol asked innocently, only to show a proud expression - "Whatever, it's not like I care, now then, you are our target, and as an S-Rank Mage, it's my duty to fulfill my mission and seeing as there are a few fairies in the place, I guess I'll cut off your wings as well."
"Are you doing it, or am I, Kurama?" - Ultear asked with hostility because now that she had turned the page, she had no desire to be in the presence of more dark wizards like this bastard.
"You do it, I have to take care of the second of the mages they sent, though she won't be as much trouble as this idiot" - replied Kurama calmly as he saw how a silhouette was watching him from behind a pillar.
Everyone present saw the one in charge, and noticed how the girl was looking at all the women surrounding the white-haired man with hostility, and they could even hear her saying something like "love rivals" as if it was a ceremonial chant.
"This is weird, and honestly I'm not very comfortable with so much hostility" - Tohru said as Lucy felt a shiver run down her back.
"Question, why do I have to deal with the idiot and you with the girl?" - Ultear asked as he raised an eyebrow.
"Because I'm sure she won't attack me, so I can negotiate with her, so she won't do anything out of line" - replied Kurama calmly.
"Well, you have a point, she would seem eager to have us as her opponents" - muttered Ultear as she saw the dark aura surrounding the blue haired woman's body.
Kurama slowly walked to the girl, who quickly gave him a smitten smile - "Hello, we meet again."
"Hello, Kurama-sama, Juvia has missed you ~" - Juvia said with a smile as she walked to Kurama and gave him a cute smile - "But I didn't think there were so many spots around you."
"Spots?" - Kurama asked with surprise.
"That's the politest thing I can tell them not to bother you" - Juvia answered honestly.
" You mean, that if it weren't so, you'd call them worse names?" - Kurama asked again.
"W-Well, Juvia can't lie to you" - Juvia replied as she blushed before nodding.
"Oh, I see" - nodded Kurama as he nodded weakly - "Anyway, what did you come to the guild for?"
"Our guild master asked us to capture Lucy Heartfilia-san and cause as much damage as possible" - Juvia answered seriously.
"Mademoiselle Juvia?" - Sol asked with surprise because he never expected Juvia to reveal their mission so easily.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Monsieur Sol, it's just that Juvia can't lie to Kurama-sama" - replied Juvia as she cupped her cheeks with a smitten smile.
Sol's expression changed slightly before shaking his head - "Anyway, I want you to distract that man while I take care of everything else."
"Ok, Juvia will stop Kurama-sama, you take care of those spots bothering Kurama-sama" - Juvia replied seriously.
"I think they are belittling us too much" - Tohru said with a frown as the other women present nodded.
"I'm sorry, I guess Mademoiselle Juvia is acting strange, but as her guildmate, I have a moral duty to meet her expectations" - said Sol as his gaze changed to a cold one - "Anyway, it's time for me to complete my mission, it's nothing personal. Oh wait, yes it is, I always disliked fairies."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I think you're overestimating your abilities too much, Mr. Frenchman" - Tohru said as she started to crack her knuckles - "Not to mention that it's quite obvious that you don't understand your situation, it's not us who are in danger, it's you!"
Sol was surprised by these words as he felt a cold sweat run down his back, however, it was already too late. He had entered the dragon's cave without realizing it.
