The true king in fiore

Chapter 13: Declaration of war

Two weeks had passed since Natsu, Gray, Happy, and Lucy received their punishments (courtesy of Mirajane), and they are now out on a job with Erza. Yū, on the other hand, decided to rest at home. The reason he didn't go with Natsu and the others is because he was too tired from the last quest.

Flashback

Yū: "Barely a week had passed since their punishment, and they already wanted to go on a job."

Makarov: "Honestly, it's like they didn't learn anything at all. So why didn't you go?"

Yū: "The behemoth I fought took a toll on me, and beside, I can't do anything with my condition." *touching his right shoulder*

Flashback End

It was already nighttime, and Yū was taking a stroll around Magnolia. He decided to go walk past the guild hall, but the sight he saw was, devastating. He saw a shadowy figure, trashing the guild hall with what appeared to be metal rods. Yū instantly took action.

Yū: "Oi! What do you think you're doing?!"

The figure heard Yū's voice and started to run. His goal already accomplished, Yū gave chase, only to be met with an earth cage. Yū made short work of the cage, only to realize that the figure destroying the guild hall
was already gone.

Yū: "Damn! He got away. I have to tell Master!"

quickly ran to Makarov's house and began to knock on the door.

Yū: "MASTER! MASTER!"

Makarov then opened the door, wearing his sleeping clothes.

Makarov: "What in the heavens do you want, you blithering—oh, it's you, Yūto." "What is it, boyo?"

Yū: "No time to explain! "Just come and look!"

Yū quickly grabbed Makarov by the hand and rushed to the guild hall, showing the destruction that was caused.

Makarov: "What... happened?"

Yū: "Someone was trashing it while I was walking around." He tried to get away, and I chased after him but failed. "My best guess is that it was Phantom Lord."

Makarov: "I see, their guild master and I aren't exactly on the best of terms right now." Let it go, sonny. There is no point in worrying about a guild that relies on surprise attacks."

Yū: "But-"

Makarov: "Let it go for now, Yuto, Go home for now and rest. Tomorrow I will have everyone use the basement of the hall as the base of operations."

Yū: "I... understand."

With that, the two went their separate ways to their homes to rest for the night.

Yū was silently walking down the stairs to the basement of the Guild Hall when he found a place to sit down. The air was quiet until more footsteps were heard on the stairs. It was the rest of Team Natsu. They slowly walked their way up to where Makarov was.

Makarov: "YO! "What's up, kids?"

Lucy: "Uh, Hi?"

Erza: "I'm sorry we weren't here sooner."

Natsu: "Why in the world are you all just sitting here like this?"

Makarov: "Hoooww did it gooo?" Diid you fiinish the job like a good girll?"

Lucy: "Uh, yeah."

Erza: "Do you understand the gravity of the situation right now?"

Natsu: "The guild hall just got trashed!" "Wait, where's Yū?"

Yū: "Over here, Natsu."

Natsu then ran over and punched him without a moment's hesitation, but Yū phase in time to dodge it.

Natsu: "Why are you just standing there like it's nothing?!"

Yū: "Because violence won't solve anything!" I do care, but what can we do about it? It's useless!"

Makarov: "Natsu! That's enough!"

I Oddly enough, Makarov made it seem like he was going to hit the dragonslayer and the swordsman, but instead spanked Lucy on her butt.

Lucy: "And why did you hit me?"

Mirajane: "Master! "Keep your hands to yourself!"

Makarov then retracted his hand, laughed a little, and jumped down from the crate he was standing on.

Natsu: "Wait! "Where are you going?!"

Makarov: "Keep your dress on!" "I'm going to take a leak."

Natsu: "Why isn't anyone doing anything?"

Mirajane: "Master is as shocked as you are, but wars between guilds have been forbidden by the Council, Not even Yū can convince them.

Natsu: "This sucks!"

Erza: "If Master's wish is to not retaliate, we must respect it as such."

Jet, Droy, and Levy were all hanging from the tree by some metal rods, and an large painting of what assume to be the Phantom Lords' symbol was painted on Levy's stomach. Some of the townspeople then managed to get one of the metal rods that was holding.
Team Natsu and Yu came and saw what happened to Team ShadowGear.

Lucy: "Levy!"

Natsu clenched his fists very tightly, almost as furious. Yu, on the other hand, stood there emotionless.

Natsu: "Phantom Lord did this!"

Some more footsteps approached, and everyone turned to see Master Makarov walking down in his Ten Wizard Saint's clothing and his cane, and simply looked at what happened to Yū and Team ShadowGear.

Yū:"master..."

Makarov: "I can stand our guild hall getting destroyed, but I will NOT tolerate my children getting hurt without taking REVENGE!"

Makarov then shattered his cane to pieces and exerted great magical power.

Makarov: "We have no choice but to go to WAR!!"
