This Means War

The team of Natsu, Gray, Erza, Toph, Lucy, Aang and Happy were walking down the streets of Magnolia after completing the mission from the day before where they gave Lucy and Aang an early awakening from their sleep.
"As soon as I get back! I'm doing another job!" Toph exclaimed.
"Why, aren't you tired from this one?" Lucy asked.
Toph chuckled. "Not at all princess, plus. I'm not the one with a target on my back so I can leave and come back to the guild whenever I please."
"Let's not forget we were all being chased by the Fire Nation before we arrived here, Toph." Aang stated
"But why did you bring me and Aang along for this job though? You all seem pretty capable without me." Lucy said.
"Because, you're part of the team, Lucy." Natsu said as he flashed his grin.
"We are Fairy Tail's strongest team!" Happy exclaimed.
"Yeah, with me, Erza, Underpants guy, Toph and Aang. On our side, there is nothing that can stop us."
"Don't call me underpants guy?" Gray muttered.
"Aren't you forgetting someone?!" Lucy yelled.
Toph began counting with her fingers. 
"Oh yeah, we forgot Happy!" She said purposely leaving out Lucy
"Aye!" the blue cat exclaimed in response
"I meant me!" she exclaimed.
"Oh sorry Lucy." Natsu said.
"I apologize deeply. I should never have hurt my friends like that. You may punch me." Erza said in her apologetic tone.
"Uh… I'm not going to do that." Lucy replied while sweat dropping.
"Can I?" Toph asked with a grin on her face.
"Knock it off Toph." Aang scolded.
"Whatever, just trying to have some fun… but you threw away a golden opportunity. The Great Titania Erza had just offered you to punch her… for free."
"Are you still on that Great Erza thing?" Lucy asked
Suddenly murmurs and whispers were being heard as the people around Magnolia where talking about them, this was noticed by Toph and Erza. "Are they Fairy Tail wizards?"
"I don't think they know yet."
"Those poor things."
"I don't wanna alarm anyone, but I think something happened." Toph said.
"I know, but what is it they could be talking about?" Erza asked but she and the rest of the group as they looked ahead, with the acception of Toph but she stopped walking as she felt the others trail behind her. They saw pillar like protrusions coming out of the building which would be the Fairy Tail guild.
Natsu's face showed one of anger. 
"What is going on over there!" He said.
"Well we won't find out here. C'mon!" Aang said.
They later arrived at the guild but Toph stopped some distance back and she slowly walked to the rest of the group. 
"Metal… a lot of metal…" Toph said with her voice in some shock.
"What happened here!?" Natsu angrily asked as the group looked on and saw many metal rods sticking out of the building. The building itself was torn apart.
"If you wanna know, you might want to ask Mira, who's behind us." Toph said jerking her thumb to her.
"Mira, what happened here?" Gray asked
"It was Phantom Lord, they got us."
"Phantom Lord? Who are they?" Aang asked
"They are another guild that, do jobs in the country of Fiore. One of their main buildings is situated in Oak Town." Mira explained.
"Phantom Lord!" Natsu growled.
"Easy, Natsu. Is everyone alright Mira?" Aang asked
"Yes, everyone is the storage room."
The group was led down the stairs and they saw that everyone was indeed alright. "At least no one was hurt, when they attacked."
"Aang!" He heard and he saw a familiar face and Aang had to do a double take just to make sure that he was seeing what he saw.
"K-katara!" He exclaimed in surprise.
"I knew it! I knew you were alive!" and she hugged him and Aang face was now red and Happy noticed.
"Hey I remember you! You are the Water Witch!" Happy said.
"You're still calling me that." She muttered as she let go of Aang.
"What a sight for sore eyes… get it. Anyway welcome to the world of magic the greatest place I have ever had the pleasure of being sucked into." Toph said with her sarcastic tone.
"Glad to see, you haven't changed." She said.
Aang looked to Katara's left hand and on top of it was the Fairy Tail symbol in a royal blue color. "Katara? You joined up with the guild too?"
"Yep, you are looking at Fairy Tail's first Waterbender." She proudly said.
"Hehe, that's great." Aang said as he was blushing again.
"Aang, your face was red before, do you…"
Aang glared at the blue cat. "Happy, don't you dare!"
"He liii…" Aang suddenly covered his mouth and he made sure he didn't say another word.
"What was that about?" Katara asked.
"N-nothing… absolutely nothing!" He quickly said while happy was laughing while his mouth was covered by Aang's hand. "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
"Not at all, the attack happened when I wasn't in the building don't worry about me."
"Okay… I'm glad to see you again…" Aang shyly said.
"Y-yeah… me too…" Katara replied in the same voice
"Hey, if you lovebirds aren't too busy. You might want to get over here!" Toph yelled and both Aang and Katara blushed and they looked away from each other.
"Yo!" Makarov said as he was chugging on a mug of beer.
"Gramps! Why aren't we doing anything! That Phantom Lord attacked us!" Natsu yelled.
"Yes, why aren't we taking action, Master." Erza said.
"That Phantom Lord is nothing. And everyone is fine."
"The attack happened in the middle of the night so no one was hurt." Mira added.
"Ha! They attack us when we aren't even there. They are nothing but cowardly! We shouldn't take them seriously." Makarov said in a laid back manner
"Yeah sure! But I'm with flame brain on this one! We have to put those cowards in their place!"
"We shouldn't be so hasty about this. They may have attacked us, but Master is right. No one was hurt; I say we just try to get on with our lives." Aang said
"No! That is just runnin' away! And you Gramps! Why are you so laid back after they attacked us!?" Natsu yelled.
"That's enough, Natsu!" Makarov yelled and his hand looked like it would stretch to hit Natsu but instead his hand smacked Lucy on the rear.
"And you spank me why?" Lucy asked.
"Master! I'll get angry!" Mira warned after his actions.
"This isn't the time for you get pervy on us!" Toph exclaimed with her arms folded
"Don't you realize the situation here!" Natsu yelled.
"We can't just stand by and do nothing!" Gray added.
"We won't attack Phantom and that is the end of this conversation!" Makarov said. "Now I have to go and pee." And he walked away from them.
Katara cringed. "Ew, did not need to know that."
"Why can't Gramps see how serious this is!?" Natsu exclaimed.
"Natsu, calm down! Master knows how serious this is, but we wont attack because a war between guilds is forbidden by the Magical Council." Mira explained
"Magic Council?" Aang and Katara asked
"In short terms, they the main ruling body of the entire magic world." Mira briefly explained.
Erza sighed. "We shall abide by the master's decision." She said.
"WHAT! ERZA!" Natsu yelled but he was punched in the stomach and he was now knocked out and Erza held him so he would fall to the ground.
"W-what's her deal?" Katara asked.
"That's Erza. Get in her way. And she will make your life a living hell." Aang said.
"She can't be worse than Azula."
"Yeah, I thought the same thing too… but why would Phantom Lord attack like this! It's not like they gain anything from attacking our guild while no one is here."
"Who knows. All I know is that I'm itching for some payback!" Toph said she began to walk away from the group. "I'm going to find Phantom Lord with our without Fairy Tail's hel…" suddenly Erza punched Toph in the gut and she fell unconscious and she caught her as well.
"No matter what, we cannot go against the masters wishes!" She exclaimed with her brown eyes now showing less detail outlining the seriousness in her tone.
"SCARY!" Katara and Lucy exclaimed.
----Night had fallen on Magnolia and Lucy was walking back to her house with her pink roller bag and her spirit Plue walking on her side.
"Hey be careful missy, you might fall in." one of the men on a passing boat said however Lucy paid no attention
"Phantom Lord, I remember having to choose between that guild and Fairy Tail. They are quite a rowdy bunch as well." She remembered. "I wasn't even sure which guild to choose. But I know I made the right choice by choosing Fairy Tail." Lucy finally got to her house and unlocked the door. "I'm ho…" she said but was surprised at the sight.
"This is a nice place you have." Erza said
"Yo." Natsu said.
"Hi Lucy!" Happy exclaimed.
"Surprise!" Toph yelled.
All the four greetings were said as the same time. 
"AAH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE!" She exclaimed as she threw her bag at Natsu's face. This was because her team consisting of Natsu, Gray, Erza, Aang, Toph and Happy were now in her house.
"Haha, this should a prime definition of the term Home Invasion." Toph quipped
"Because of the whole incident with Phantom Lord, the guild thought it would be better if we roomed in groups. We cannot take any risks with Phantom Lord considering their recent attack." Erza stated. "It is also likely that Phantom Lord has all our addresses so it would be safer if we stayed here."
Lucy sighed. 
"Oh… but why my house?" She asked.
Aang shrugged his shoulders while Toph stretched and on her floor.
"Hey looked what I found?" Happy exclaimed while going through a blue basket full of clothes while Plue was next to him sticking a huge pink lollipop he found from nowhere in his mouth.
"HEY! THAT'S MY LAUNDRY YOU CAT. STOP GOING THROUGH IT! And Plue what are you eating!?" she yelled.
Erza began looking at Lucy's underwear. 
"You would wear this… how unlady like." She commented.
"Hey Plue! What is that you are eating? I want some!" Natsu yelled. "Hey Aang, you want some?"
"No thanks, mostly because I have no idea where Plue found it."
"By the way Aang? Where is Katara?" Lucy asked
"Oh… well since there would be too many of us in your apartment, she decided to room with Team Shadow Gear." Aang said.
"So she's with Levy-chan. So they should be pretty safe."
Later the entire group gets comfortable; Natsu is lying on the floor with Happy. Gray is on Lucy's bed, Toph is in a light brown sleeveless top with brown pants and her hair was big and puffy like a huge messy Afro. Aang was meditating in the corner.
"Looks like you all got comfortable." Lucy muttered.
"Yeah, I know this isn't an ideal situation, but it is what it is." Toph said.
Aang got up from the corner and walked to the others. Erza walks to the group. "Since we will be living together for the time being, you boys should take a bath and you too Toph. I refuse to sleep in the same room with you all sweating." She proclaimed.
"I don't wanna." Natsu complained.
"For once I agree with flame breath." Gray said still lying on Lucy's bed.
"Sorry, Erza. But I think I'm going to skip the bath." Aang said.
"Not gonna happen, scary lady." Toph said as she way lying on her back with her eyes gazing to the ceiling.
Erza smirked. "If that is the case… then I will bath with Natsu and Gray just like when we were young." Erza said in a laid back voice as she held Grey and Natsu. This embarrassed the two and their faces were red. 
"You should join us Aang." Erza said.
"P-please tell me she is joking. She is joking right." Aang said with his cheeks now glowing red
"What kind of relationship do you guys have!?" Lucy exclaimed referring to Natsu, Grey and Erza.
"Reverse Harem? Or threesome maybe...?" Toph said as she shrugged her shoulders.
"How can you say that so casually?" Lucy muttered.
"What do those even mean?" Aang asked.
"You'll find out when you're older, kid?" Toph casually said.
"Such is Fairy Tail's strongest team!" Happy exclaimed.
----Meanwhile elsewhere in Magnolia, Team Shadow Gear along with Ash and Katara were walking through the lamp lit streets.
"You sure it's alright if I can stay with you guys. I mean not that I'm complaining but I would have sorted something out." Katara said.
"Don't worry about a thing. You're part of our family now." Levy said as she gave her a thumbs up.
"Yeah! We'll protect you Levy!" Jet and Droy exclaimed.
"I'm right here too you know…" Katara said while sweat dropping.
Ash suddenly stopped following them.
"What's wrong?" Levy asked.
"Show yourself!" He shouted.
Katara heard this and she looked up and saw the figure jump off the roof towards them. "LOOK OUT!" She used all the water in her water skin to blast Team Shadow Gear from his attack and she dodged his attack and the figure punched the ground. "Hold on… I have seen your face before…" Katara saw his red eyes glow and he saw his arms shine in the moonlight as though they were made of metal. 
"Droy! Jet! Take Levy and get out of here!" Katara exclaimed.
"No! I won't let you two face him alone!" Levy exclaimed.
"Leave!" Ash snapped. He was struck by a iron pillar and slammed into a wall. 
Katara bent the water she threw at Team Shadow Gear and she blasted that water at the shadowy figure but he didn't move an inch. 
"T-that was all the water I had! How could it not be enough to throw you back?" Suddenly a long metallic pillar shot onto Katara's gut and the pillar flew to a brick wall and when it slammed it Katara had been knocked unconscious in a matter of seconds. The figure then rushed to Levy, Jet and Droy…
----Back in Lucy's apartment, she just came out of the bathroom and her body and her hair was wrapped in towels. She saw Erza was dressed the same way as she bathed before Lucy.
"That was really refreshing." Erza said referring to her bath. "I should probably change." Suddenly her whole body was engulfed in a light gold glow and she was now in pajamas that consisted of a pink long shirt and pants fabric and the outfit was decorated with magenta crossed with a heart on the bottom of the cross.
"You can requip just to change clothes?" Lucy asked.
"Well, it kinda makes sense to me." Aang said
"Anyway we shouldn't worry that much. Fairy Tail and Phantom Lord have had our skirmishes from time to time." Erza said
"Correct me if am wrong, but I don't think destroying your guild counts as a skirmish." Toph added
"What are talking about Toph?" Gray asked as he was reading a stack of stapled papers on Lucy's desk.
"And what are you so reading so casually!?" Lucy yelled and she snatched it.
"But I want to know what happens next."
"No! I already promised that Levy will be the first person to read it!" Suddenly Erza outstretched her right hand expecting Lucy to give her the unfinished novel. "And why are you holding your hand like that!?"
"What I'm saying is that they destroyed the guild without hurting anyone, and who ever could have made those iron pillars must be extremely powerful."
"You are right Toph, Phantom Lord's guild master is very powerful, his power is probably on par with the Master's, and they are both part of the Ten Wizard Saints."
"Ten Wizard Saints, what it that?" Aang asked.
"To be part of the Ten Wizard Saints is a title of great prestige, this is bestowed by the by the Council's Chairman." Erza explained. "Both, Master and the Master of Phantom Lord both hold this honor…" "And also, that man…" Erza thought as she pictured Siegrain in her mind.
"Okay, but that still doesn't tell me why we shouldn't take them on. Destroying the guild was just to wind us up. They are calling us out! And I say we barge right into their front door and give them a taste of Fairy Tail Terror!" Toph said making her hand into a fist while smirking.
"Yeah! We should make them pay!" Natsu exclaimed
"Look, we shouldn't just fight them. I'm sure there is a way that this can be done without fighting." Aang said.
"You're kidding me." Gray said. "Convince Phantom to stop messing with us without fighting, can't be done."
"Yeah, those creeps might have numbers but we have better fighters than they do I'm sure." Toph exclaimed.
"It won't be that easy. If a fight does break out, both our guilds are level on strength in terms of brute force. But Phantom has the Element 4, which is their elite team of S-Class Wizards and we also have to worry about the one who destroyed our guild, Black Steel Gajeel. The Iron Dragon Slayer." Erza said.
"WHAT!" Aang, Toph and Lucy exclaimed.
"Dragon Slayer?" Lucy said.
"So there is more of you, Natsu?" Aang asked
Natsu just looked as if he didn't care. "So if Natsu is a Fire Dragon Slayer that eats fire… Then this Gajeel is an Iron Dragon Slayer, so he must eat iron." Toph smirked. "Hehehe. I look forward to kicking his butt!" Toph said as she pressed her fist into her hand.
"Did you not hear me!? Gajeel is a Dragon Slayer, he isn't someone you can just throw around!" Erza sternly said.
"Oh but I have a surprise for my metal eating friend." Toph said as a dark aura appeared around her while she smirked.
"Now I'm really getting scared." Lucy said in disbelief of Toph's attitude towards hearing of Gajeel.
----Inside the Phantom Lord guild hall Gajeel was eating a bowl full of Iron and he looked annoyed as people in the guild were talking about how he leveled Fairy Tail's guild hall.
"Haha! You really made those Fairies squirm, Gajeel. Because of you we wont have to worry about them anymore." One of the wizards said as he laughed. Gajeel got mad and his arm transformed into a large iron pillar and it elongated and hit the guy and he flew back.
"How many times, must I tell you! I don't like being bothered, while I'm eating!" He growled.
A shadow appeared on the top floor and he looked down at Gajeel. 
"Good job on your progress Gajeel." The dark figure said.
"Those Fairy Trash won't react from just destroying their guild, so… I left them an extra present."
"Excellent, just make sure you keep 'that person' alive."
"Gi Hi!" Gajeel laughed.
----It was now morning in South Gate park and the big tree was surrounded by many people and there were murmurs and gasps.
"This is horrible…"
"Someone get them down."
Team Natsu was one of the first to get to the scene and what they saw completely shocked them.
"Those-those fiends!" Erza growled.
The sight that shocked them was the sight of Team Shadow Gear were beat up and were restrained to the tree. The worst sight of all was that the symbol of Phantom lord was branded on Levy's stomach.
"L-levy-chan…" Lucy said in shock as she looked on the verge of tears.
"Hey those are Iron straps that are holding them to the tree. I can only bet that it was Gajeel that did this."
"Destroying the guild hall was one thing but, they are really willing to go this far?" Aang said as he began to clench his fist.
"Phantom Lord!" Natsu growled and the veins on his face and arms could be seen.
"This is despicable!" Gray said.
"Damn Gajeel. There's gonna be hell to pay for this." They saw Ash and Katara walking up to them also looking slightly beaten. "He got to us… I wasn't able to save them…"
"Gajeel… he g-got to you too?" Aang asked while looking down, his grey eyes being hidden. Aang was trying his best so he wouldn't get angry at the scene he saw in front of him.
"Don't worry. I'm alright Aang. I just wish I could say the same for…"
"Yeah I know…"
Suddenly they heard a stick hitting the ground as Makarov who was wearing his white and yellow jacket with the symbol for the Ten wizard saints on the back of it, was walking through the crowd. The Fairy Tail Guild master saw the scene in front of him and he was also visually furious. "I was willing to let them get away with them destroying the guild, but attacking my children like this…!" suddenly his grip on the stick had intensified and it shattered into pieces and Aang and Lucy both recoiled from this "…Will not be tolerated!" He was now surrounded in an intense yellow aura and he was projecting it outward in rage. 
"TO WAR!" He exclaimed as he now declared a war between the two guilds.
----Later in the day at the Magnolia hospital Lucy was watching over Team Shadow Gear in one of the rooms while Katara got to work on trying to heal them when the doctors weren't in the room.
"Jet, Droy… Levy-chan. How could they do this?" Lucy asked being on the verge of tears. Katara had released her healing water from Levy's stomach. 
"So… how are they?" Lucy asked.
"They will pull through, but they were hurt pretty bad. It may take another three or four healing sessions before they can be fully recovered. For now I'd say it would be best to give them their rest."
"Yeah…" Lucy said.
"Levy… she is your best friend, I gather?" Katara asked.
"Yes, I made a promise to her that she will be the very first person to read my novel when I complete it…" a tear fell from her eye and it landed on her right palm where her Fairy Tail emblem was. "Phantom Lord. I will never forgive them for this…"
"Phantom Lord… Its like they want us to come after them…"
"Huh?"
"Think about it… they destroyed our guild hall but no one was hurt, then the attack on Team Shadow Gear, that Gajeel from what Toph told me about him, he could have done a lot worse. I had the displeasure of fighting him, and before I fell unconscious he attacked Levy, Jet and Droy. I know that he has to ability to possibly kill anyone of us if he wanted to. I think they are winding us up so we will start a war with them."
"What else can we do? We can't just sit here and let them do this to us."
"I understand. If we don't fight them, who knows what they will try next." She looked at Aang and he was looking out of the window. "Aang are you okay?" Katara asked but he gave no answer.
"Aang?" Lucy said to try to get his attention but his eyes remained on the view outside.
"I don't like this…" Aang started. "Phantom are trying to corner us into a fight and it worked… What am I supposed to do? I don't want to get into an unnecessary fight and I certainly don't want to fight for the sake of revenge. Don't get me wrong, I really want to teach Phantom Lord a lesson for everything they have done, but if we just go and beat up on their members, then we will be just as bad as they are. The cycle of revenge will never end…" he said.
"Aang…" Lucy began.
"You're right, Aang… but I'm not going to stand here while these guys just think they can toss us around. There is a line. And Master Makarov made it pretty clear they crossed that line." Katara got up. "I'm going to join the others. They are going to charge right into Phantom Lord, and I'm not going to stay here when I know I can help put them in their place." She looked to Lucy. "If you're worried about me not healing Team Shadow Gear, don't be. The doctors here have done a lot before I tended to them, they will be back on their feet before they know it, but you can stay with them if you like." She looked to Aang. "I know that you are not one for taking vengeance Aang, but this is more than just that. It's about standing up for ourselves, and if that means we have to fight. Then that is a repercussion that I will have to deal with later. I am not forcing you to fight, that's your decision to make." Katara took her two water skins that were hanging off a rack. "I'm fighting, not just for Jet, Droy and Levy's sake, but for all of Fairy Tail." She ran out of the room to find the others that were heading to Phantom's guild.
Aang continued to stare out of the window. "Aang, let's go out for a while. You could use some air."
Aang nodded and he followed her out of the room.
----Later in the day, the Phantom Lord wizards were celebrating. "Gajeel really sent those Fairy Tail wizards packing!"
"We are the number one guild in the country!" Another wizard yelled.
"We're going to do a job, we will be back." However as soon as the two wizards got to the door it exploded and a huge stream of orange flames sped into the guild through the busted doors and through the dust Natsu's red Fairy Tail emblem was the first thing to be seen. After the door was busted open. Most of Fairy Tail were right at the doorway. Natsu had a very angry look on his face.
"FAIRY TAIL!" Makarov yelled as this was now the start of the war that Makarov declared. The charge began with Natsu throwing huge fire attacks at the mages
"Time for some serious payback!" Toph yelled and she punched the ground and a wave of rocks pierced through the hall and it crashed into many of the mages there and it even sliced the bar in half.
"Don't you think you can beat, you shouldn't get carried away!" One of the Phantom mages yelled.
"Aren't you just a kid?" Another one fearfully asked.
"Yeah, but this kid it going to kick your butt!" She exclaimed and she made two rocks rise from the ground and she shot it right at the two mages and they immediately fell unconscious."
Natsu shoots huge flames at a huge crowd of them. 
"AAH HOT!" They screamed.
Gray used his Ice-Make magic to freeze some of them and throw ice based attacks at them. 
"AAH COLD!" They yelled.
Cana, Loke, Nab, Max and Katara were seen attacking other Phantom Mages with their magic and bending respectively. Katara had thrown a huge water jet at two mages. 
"It doesn't make sense I wouldn't think their wizards would be this easy to beat." Katara said.
"That doesn't matter right now, these guys are just the grunts, very easy to beat. If we can tear through enough of them, they will soon turn to their guild master, and that is when we will strike." Cana replied while holding three cards in between her fingers.
Macao was looking at some of the members and he glared at them. 
"Purple Net!" He exclaimed and a purple magic seal appeared in front of him and purple flames that acted like ropes shot out of them and they held the Phantom mages up into the air. 
"Wakaba!" He yelled.
The man with a pipe smirked and a light green seal flashed from his pipe and suddenly pink fists made out of smoke punches the restrained mages. "Smoke Crush!" he exclaimed after the attack took place.
Alzack was glaring at the many Phantom mages in front of him. "Guns Magic: Spark Shot!" He exclaimed as he took out his magical pistol and he shot electrifying bullets at the mages in front of him and a sky blue magical seal was seen for ever shot that hit and the mages fell to the ground and had electricity crackling off them. Suddenly a Phantom mage with purple sunglasses ran to attack Alzack but he was shot and he was down. "B-Bisca!"
"You're getting rusty Al." She said and she looked into the sights of her magical sniper rifle and a green magical seal was seen in the front of it. And it was targeting many Phantom Mages in the middle of the fight. "Homing Shot!" she yelled and she fired a green bullet that homed the many targets and it created a green explosion that blew back many of them.
Makarov is surrounded by many Phantom Mages. "You cannot beat us, old man!" suddenly Makarov's eyes were engulfed by a yellow glow and he began to exponentially grow in size and he towered over many of the mages that were going to attack him, this of course was the result of Makarov's Titan.
"Wow! Guess he's not so short anymore!" Toph commented.
"He can grow like ten times his size?!" Katara exclaimed.
"Not really that surprising, the possibilities of Magic are endless in this world."
Makarov was punching the Phantom members the ground. "Are you some kind of monster!?" one of the Phantom mages asked.
"You have hurt the children of this monster! Don't think for a second that any human law out there can protect you!" he bellowed and the mages around him screamed in fear.
Meanwhile there was a huge circle around a very plump Fairy Tail wizard, this was Reedus Jonah and he was painting multicolored boars on his stomach and he was done painting the last one which was a light purple one. "Pict Magic: Nature, Run Wild!" A sea green and white seal appeared in front of his stomach and the boars became real and the charged in all directions to attack the mages around them.
A girl who had long, light purple hair with a red bow with a long sleeved white tunic with brown leggings and white boots was about to cast a spell. This girl was Laki Olietta. "Wood Make: The Dam of Shy Love!" she exclaimed as a light brown seal appeared in front of her after she placed the side of her right fist into her open left palm and she planted her hands on the stone floor and multiple blocks of wood that were shaped like tools and weapons erupted from the ground hitting many of the Phantom grunts in front of her.
"B-But that doesn't make any sense!" one of the Phantom grunts said with his eyes stretching out of his eye lids.
Many Phantom mages suddenly surrounded Happy. 
"Finally someone we can beat!" They exclaimed.
"So you think." Happy said and suddenly he was hitting them with two large fish and he had defeated most of the guild members around him and one of the mages was on the ground with what looked like an octopus in his mouth. 
"I'm a Fairy Tail wizard too!" He happily exclaimed. While holding a watermelon over his head.
"JOSE! Show yourself." Makarov yelled
Erza in her Flame Empress armor was slashing past a few of the grunts. 
"Where are the Element 4!?" Erza yelled. As she slashed through them with her flaming red sword.
"Black Steel Gajeel! I know he is here! Bring him out!" Toph yelled as she made a circular barrier of earth rise around her and she shot tiny pebbles from the barrier in all directions at the same speed as bullets and this hit all the Phantom grunts around her.
Gajeel who was looking at the fight below from the ceiling formed a smirk on his face. "I never expected Master Jose's plan to go so well."
----Meanwhile back in Magnolia Lucy and Aang were on their way back to the hospital and Aang was still looking down to the ground while Lucy carried a bag of groceries. "Cheer up, Aang. This will all be over soon and we won't have to fight anyone."
"I feel as if… I should be doing something… I'm not going to fight simply for revenge… but why does it feel as if I am running then." He sighed. "I wonder how my world is doing right now?"
Lucy sighed. "There has to be some was to cheer him up. I don't like it when he gets like this."
Aang suddenly stopped walking. 
"Something isn't right." Aang said.
"What are you talking about." And suddenly a sun shower occurs in their vicinity. "Rain? But how?"
"No clue, I've never seen a sun shower before, but something is weird about this, I can't quite put my finger on it."
"Huh? Who is that?" Lucy asked and she looked ahead and saw a mysterious girl walking in the rain with curled blue hair, dark blue emotionless eyes , and had pale skin. She wore a navy blue coat and had a Russian like hat on her head.
"Drip, drip, drop." She began in a stoic like voice "Juvia is the rain woman." She said she approached the two of them. "What is it that you two bring?"
"What are you talking about?" Aang asked
"Who are you?" Lucy asked.
The girl assumed to be Juvia simply walked past them and she stopped for a second before opening her umbrella. "Juvia bids you farewell."
"Uh, wait. Are you the cause of this rain?" Aang asked but his question went unanswered.
As soon a Juvia began to walk forward the ground behind her began to rise and a slim man rose from the ground. He wore a brown suit with a cape that linked his elbows, the suit also had six jagged protrusions coming out of the sides, he was light skinned with a tiny green mustache and pointy green hair that pointed upwards. His right eye was hidden by a monocle attached to a slim chain.
"Non, non, non." He said in a French accent as he rose out of the ground. "Juvia-sama, you cannot abandon your mission now?"
"D-did you just come out of the ground like that!?" Aang exclaimed.
"Monsieur Sol." Juvia said.
"That mademoiselle over there is none other than our precious cible."
"What is he talking about?" Lucy asked and Aang shrugged.
"What does 'cible' even mean?" Aang asked
"Oh, I apologize for my manners. My name is Sol. Sol of the Land. And she is Juvia of the deep." He introduced.
Aang suddenly got in front of Lucy and got in a fighting stance. "We have to get out of here!"
"Okay, but why?"
"Think about it! Sol of the Land, Juvia of the Deep. It suddenly rains when we see Juvia, and this creep comes out of the ground like he does. They make references to Earth and Water, earth and water is part of the four elements. That means that these two are with Phantom Lord, but worse. They are part of the Element 4!" Aang exclaimed.
"Element 4!?" Lucy exclaimed.
"Non, non, non! This child is smart!" Sol said as he moved around in his slender body.
"Juvia knows this one, he is the one with the very rare Elemental Magic." Juvia said in her stoic tone.
"So you are the one with 'Elemental Magic' but you know his is lying, Juvia-sama. He is not from this world, what he calls magic is something completely different."
"What! But how did you...!?"
"I have read your memories because you have stepped on me earlier. I know everything about you."
Aang glared at both of the Phantom mages. "So you know everything about me! What are you going to do about it?"
"I intend to do something about it!" a voice said and his skin turned pale as soon as he heard the voice of someone familiar.
"N-no it can't be!?" Aang and Lucy looked behind them and they both saw the figure of Phoenix King Ozai. "No! You can't be here! This isn't happening." Aang's entire body began shivering.
"What is wrong Avatar? Thought you could run from me?" He mocked as he walked closer to the two.
"GET AWAY FROM ME!" Aang yelled and he froze some of the rain into ice crystals and he shot them at Ozai but he turned into sand. "Wha… he wasn't really…"
"You fear the Fire Lord more than anything Avatar." Sol mocked in his voice.
"Why you!" Aang launched towards Sol and he made a horizontal fire arc in front of him, but when it missed Sol came back up from the ground.
"Non, non, non! This will not do at all, we must quickly capture our cible!" He outstretched his right arm and held onto it with is left arm and he made a fist with his right hand. "Platre Sonata!" He exclaimed and a yellowish-brown seal appeared in front of him and a giant fist made of plaster shot out from it and it hit Aang and slammed him into a wall.
"AANG!" Lucy yelled and she angrily grasped her keys. "I will never forgive you for what your guild has done to us!"
"You misunderstand; Gajeel-sama did all of that by himself. We just agreed to the idea."
Before Lucy could attempt to summon a spirit she was encased in a sphere of water. "What is this!" She exclaimed and tried to escape by hitting it.
"It is futile, Juvia's Water Lock cannot be broken, but do not worry. Juvia will not kill you, for it is my duty to bring you back. Lucy Heartfilia." Lucy later passes out and her keys are dropped on the ground.
"Victory is ours, Juvia-sama!" Sol said as he declared their victory.
----Meanwhile back at the battle in the Phantom Lord. Toph made huge earth protrusions eject out of the ground and they hit many of the Phantom Grunt. 
"Man, these guys just keep on coming. They can't take a licking but they keep on ticking!" She said and she flung another boulder at two more grunts. "I grow tired of this! I know you're hiding Gajeel. Don't make me have to find you!"
Many mages were in front of Laki and they blasted fire magic at her and there was an explosion but the flames looked like they were being redirected to another source and the flames flew into Natsu's mouth.
He chuckled and smirked at the Phantom Mages. "Thanks for the meal, now that I have eaten. I am all revved up!" he exclaimed
"What is he!?"
"He is Fairy Tail's Salamander!"
Natsu took a deep breath and his cheeks puffed to abnormally sized proportions. 
"Fire Dragon Roar!" He exclaimed and he shot a huge blast of fire at the grunts after he put his open fists in front of his mouth so the fire could travel through it.
Grey was glaring at a few more grunts who were charging towards him. "Ice-Make: Lance!" He yelled and he shot long ice lances at the mages and many of them went down. Erza flew past him and she was continuously slashing through them now in her Blackwing Armor.
Laki had the side of her right fist in her left palm and in between the two was a brownish yellow magical seal. "Wood Make: The Distance Between Two Is Forever!" She exclaimed and many giant hands and feet ejected from the ground and swayed around wildly.
"Nope! Still doesn't make sense!" The same mage from before exclaimed
Alzack was faced with more opposition in front of him and he aimed at them with just one of his two pistols. "Guns Magic: Mud Shot!" he shot and the bullet exploded into mud and it contacted them and sent them all flying to the wall as they were now trapped in the mud that was shot at them.
Bisca who was holding her magic sniper rifle was running to a corner of the room "Requip! Magic Shotgun." She prepared to fire it. "Wide Shot!" a shot was fired from her magic shotgun and the bullet split into several dozen magical attacks in that one area and all of the wizards in her direction were hit.
Cana revealed three cards in her hands and a sea green and white magical seal appeared for a second. "Lightning, Reverse Towers, Lovers! Card Magic: Jolt of Fate!" She yelled and this generated a massive electric shock that stuck many of the Phantom mages around her.
Loke looked like he spun a small dial on his ring and he glared at the mages in front of him. "Ring Magic: Twister!" he exclaimed and this made a powerful storm with light green tornado like winds and the mages were spinning continuously in the storm.
"Erza I'm leaving to find Jose on the top floor, I'm leaving you in charge." Makarov said and he was on the second floor and he used his magic to reduce a huge wooden door to pieces and he walked in.
Gajeel meanwhile was still on the ceiling and he smirked. 
"Now that the biggest threat is gone! It's time for me to join the fight!" He exclaimed and he jumped off the wooden beam and he landed on top of the fallen Phantom Lord sign.
Nab sees him but Toph immediately notices his presence. 
"Stop you idiot!" She yelled.
"This is for Levy's team!" He exclaimed but Gajeel's arm turned to a metal pillar and it extended as he punched Nab in the arm, and he flew down to the crowd and even ran over a couple of Phantom Mages.
"Well that was a bad idea waiting to happen." Toph said and Gajeel jumped to the ground and the pillar retracted back to his arm and it turned back into a regular arm.
"So it is you scum that I am fighting. I am Gajeel of Phantom Lord, the Iron Dragon Slayer."
"We know who you are!" Toph exclaimed. She saw that Elfman was about to attack Gajeel and she made a rock wall in front of the Take Over wizard. "Not today! I've been waiting to face this guy!" Toph said as she cracked her knuckles.
"I'm going to be challenged by a kid. Gi hi! Don't make me laugh!" Gajeel said while laughing.
Toph stepped on the ground and she made an earth pillar eject from the ground and it hit the Iron Dragon Slayer square in the chin and this sent him sliding back and he rubbed it. "I know you're not that easy to put down! C'mon give me everything you got!" she yelled.
"Gi hi hi, I like you kid you have fighting spirit, but you're in the wrong guild… too bad! A greenish silver magical seal appeared in front of his right hand. "Iron Dragon's Pillar!" he yelled and he transformed his right arm into an iron pillar and it extended to punch Toph but she remained standing as it sped to her and she made herself taller by made the part of the ground she stood on lift up and she held the iron pillar with both her arms.
"There is one thing no one knows about me! I'm not only an Earthbender!" She released her arms and quickly dug her hands into the iron pillar and began crushing it with her bare hands. 
"I'm a Metalbender!" She exclaimed and many of the Fairy Tail wizards were shocked.
"M-metalbender?" Gray asked.
Toph was beginning to crush it even more and this was bringing Gajeel slight discomfort. So he brought his pillar and it transformed back into an arm. "So you have magic that allows you to manipulate Metal and Earth huh?"
"Call it what you want, Metalhead! The fact is you can't beat me!"
Gajeel smirked. "Gi hi! Is that a fact you, think too highly of yourself." Gajeel transformed his arms into iron pillars and he charged towards Toph.
The blind earthbender closed her eyes and she was using her seismic sense to determine where Gajeel was and as he got closer she launched a rock pillar that sent her over him and she was now behind him. "Woah, you're seriously that slow? You're going to have to move a little bit faster to beat me!" Toph mocked with a smirk.
"Don't get cocky kid!" Gajeel said and his right leg was now an iron pillar and he kicked a stretched pillar to Toph. She wasn't expecting that, so she bended a huge, thick slab of rock that even Gajeel couldn't kick through and she made many triangular rocks trap his stretched iron leg so he couldn't move.
Toph levitated three slabs of rocks from the ground and she threw them at Gajeel who was unable to move and this caused damage and he rolled back and was under the rubble. "Get up! You're practically made of iron so don't think you can fake getting hurt from that!" Toph yelled. Gajeel true to the Earthbender's words got up from under the rocks.
"Toph, I though you could beat this guy!" Katara gasped.
"So did I Sugar Queen, but you try beating a man who is almost as hard as metal?! On top of all that he is holding back."
Natsu then clenched his fists.
"Smart girl, if you didn't ally yourself with trash maybe we would be fighting on the same side."
"Sorry, Metalhead but things just didn't pan out that way, but I'm not losing you!" Gajeel smirked. He kicked a metal pillar to Toph but she slowed it down and she slowed it so much so she could stop it with her hand. "Weren't you listening when I said I was a Metalbender!"
"So, your magic is called Earthbending and Metalbending?" Gajeel said with a smirk on his face.
"No, but I would waste too much time explaining it to you!" Suddenly smaller metal pillars stretched out of the pillar Toph held and it was hitting other Fairy Tail wizards and some from Phantom as well.
"Idiot, you'd hit your own allies!?" Toph yelled.
"Why should I care about them!" He made another pillar in his right arm and he punched Toph in the gut and she flew back.
As she did Natsu used her as a springboard and he ignited his fists and he flew towards him. "Gajeel!" and he punched him and he flew back towards the bar counter. Many of the Phantom Lord guild members were shocked as first it looked like he was being beaten by Toph, then Natsu throws a fire punch to him that could have hurt the Dragon Slayer.
"HEY DO I LOOK LIKE A DOORMAT TO YOU!" Toph yelled in anger and she was surrounded in a fiery aura.
"Sorry Toph, but I'm going to take your place in this battle!" He replied.
"Fight stealer! Fine, but if you lose I'm going to wallop you upside the head even harder than he does!" She said as she forced a smirk.
The Dragon Slayer glared at Gajeel. "I am Fairy Tail's Fire Dragon Slayer. I'm going to make you pay for what you did to Levy's team!"
"Gi hi." He laughed. "Iron Dragon Pillar!" He sent stretching pillar to Natsu but the Fire Dragon Slayer grabbed it and he ignited his hands and he lifted the pillar and he threw Gajeel up into the air, the Iron Dragon Slayer balanced himself and landed on one of the rafters and he glared at Natsu. Gajeel jumps down to strike Natsu and but he is surprised when Natsu throws a powerful Fire fist to his face.
"Wow. He's a lot stronger than any Firebender I've ever seen." Katara said. "That's actually pretty scary."
"He may not seem alright in the head, but he defiantly knows how to fight. If anyone can beat Gajeel. Its defiantly him." Toph said.
"I'm proud of you, Natsu." Erza said to herself.
Gajeel gets up from the floor. "That attack didn't affect me at all!"
"You look pretty affected to me!" Natsu said while he smiked. However he is later kicked by Gajeel's iron leg and Natsu hits the floor.
"Get up! I know that attack didn't do much to you!"
Natsu promptly got to his feet. "You're right about that, Gajeel!"
"You really are a hot head, Salamander."
"Shut up!"
"I'll crush you!" He yelled and he turned his arm into an iron rod and he shot it towards Natsu but the rod was blocked by Natsu's flaming hands .
"Don't get so cocky!" Natsu growled and he began to crush the iron pillar and Gajeel quickly brought it back to himself.
"Hmm, the rumors are true, your flames are hot." He said as he moved his hand back and forth because of the heat. "But is that all you got, Salamander?" Gajeel asked and a greenish silver seal appeared in front of his right hand.
"No, this is just a greeting from one dragon to another before the real fight!" Natsu said as a fiery orange and red seal appeared in his right hand and they both jump off the floor they both are able to punch each other with their metallic and fiery fists. Soon Gajeel throws an iron pillar kick towards Natsu and this is able to hit him but he gets back up. "That is one heavy kick you have there!" Natsu said.
Toph looked at Gray. "Hey Icehead!"
"What did you call me?" Gray asked with an annoyance in his voice.
"What do you say, we mix your ice and my earth, while Natsu keeps Metalhead busy we can go ahead and reduce these Phantom guys to nothing!"
"Sure, that's not a bad idea."
"What can I say? I'm full of them." She smugly said and this earned her an eye roll from the Ice wizard. "Okay, and now!" Toph stepped on the ground and Grey planted his palms on the ground and a mixture of earth and jagged ice burst out of the ground and it made a wave that took out most of the Phantom mages in one shot. "Hey I just remembered something. Katara, where's Twinkletoes right now."
Katara was hitting Phantom mages one at a time with one mass of water. "Last I saw him, he was with Lucy at the hospital."
"It's weird, Gajeel is here but the Element 4 aren't!"
"What are you saying?" Gray asked.
"I'm saying that if all they wanted was a war with us, then surely they would have unleased their S-Class wizards by now, I mean if Metalhead is coming out to play, then the Element 4 should too."
"Can't you sense them with your Earthbending?" Erza asked.
"Trust me, if they were here, I would have seen them by now, the only reason I couldn't see Gajeel before was because he was on a wooden beam."
"What about the Master?"
"I can still see him and my Earthbending tells me, only one person is ahead of him."
"Then it must be Jose."
"I can't tell, jeez do I look like a soothsayer!?"
Meanwhile Gajeel charges to Natsu but the Fire Dragon Slayer punched him upwards but as Gajeel was in the air, sharp iron foot blades came out of the heels of his boots and he attached himself to one of the wooden rafters. Natsu jumps up to him and throws a flaming punch but it is blocked by Gajeel, nevertheless he is still sent flying back through some wooden rafters and he lands on one while Natsu lands on one that is lower.
"Hehe, this battle's getting me fired up!" Natsu said with a grin.
"Gi hi, you have a destructive streak going on don't you?"
The guild begins to rumble in power and the Phantom Lord members begin to shake with fear.
"No doubt about it! It's coming from our old man!" Toph announced which began to scare the Phantom members, while the Fairy Tail's wizards looked on with confidence.
"That's Gramps' wrath!" Gray said.
"Or rather the giant's wrath!" Elfman said.
"Mira wasn't kidding, Master Makarov really is powerful!" Katara said with a surprise.
"As long as we have the Master with us, we cannot lose!" Erza announced.
"Then let's bring the pain!" Toph said with a smirk as she punched her fist to her hand.
"You're enjoying this too much Toph." Katara said while sweatdropping.
----Makarov was walking through the top floor while engulfed in a bright yellow energy and this energy was breaking everything around him, even the solid rock floor was crumbling under the power Makarov was emitting. He bursts through the main doors and they turn to tiny pebbles as he was destroying everything in his path.
Makarov sees Jose in a seat like a throne and he stopped walking but his energy never faltered. "What is the meaning of this, Jose?!"
"It had been a while, Makarov. We haven't seen each other since the guild meeting six years ago." He calmly said.
Makarov bulked up his right arm and it grew to a huge size and he punched the throne Jose was sitting on. "I didn't come here to chat, Jose!" but as he moves his arm away. It turned out Jose was still sitting there as if nothing had hit him at all. "He's using a thought projection?" "So you decide to run and abandon your guild?"
"This is in fear of cataclysm. A battle between two of the Ten Wizard Saints would be a catastrophic event, I would much rather prefer a simple and sensible triumph."
"Where are you hiding, Jose!?" He sees another thought projection and it is of Lucy with her arms tied up. "Lucy? What do you want with her?"
Jose remains silent and suddenly a large figure is behind Makarov. He was dark skinned and had his eyes covered by a white cloth was wearing a dark green hat, he wore a long green, open coat with a large collar, he had a blue and white scarf hanging from his neck he wore an orange shirt underneath with a red skull necklace around his neck. He had a loose pair of pants with prominent hems. He wore black boots on his feet.
"What! How could I not notice his presence?" Makarov thought to himself as the huge wizard was facing his palms towards Makarov. Suddenly two light purple magic circles appeared above Makarov on his sides in the same manner that the giant's palms were pointing and a yellow glow appeared underneath Makarov. "What! My Magical power is draining?"
"Hehe, this girl is in your guild and you don't really know who this really girl is. It doesn't matter. It's not your problem anymore." He said and Makarov's skin was now a light green and he fell to the very first floor and this made a huge bang.
Toph noticed this and her eyes widened.
"What was that?" Gray asked.
"This is really, really bad!" Toph said.
"What is it?" Erza asked.
"That loud bang you heard, it was the old man! He fell from the top floor!" suddenly Erza and Gray's eyes widened as they both soon rushed over to where Makarov was.
Soon all the Fairy Tail members rushed over to his side. 
"Master!" Erza yelled.
"Gramps!" Natsu and Gray yelled.
"I can't sense any magic power from him." Laki said as they all got close.
Suddenly the Phantom mages got up. "Did you hear that? Their master is down."
"Don't you see what this means. They don't have their guild master, we have Gajeel and the Element 4, and our master!"
"Yeah we can win this!" One of the said.
"This is bad." Erza said in a shaky tone.
"Yeah I know what you mean, they have their fighting spirit back." Katara said
The battle begins to turn as the Phantom mages look like they had the advantage now.
Natsu uses his fire magic to keep them at bay. 
"Don't get cocky!" Natsu growled
"Yeah! Don't think we're giving up!" Toph yelled as she threw five boulders towards the mages coming to her.
Three Phantom mages stand next to each other and they outstretch their hands they each made a magical seal that were light brown, red and blue respectively.
"Triple Element Combination Magic!" they chanted in unison and this made brown, red and light blue energy waves combine and they attack was heading towards Cana.
And explosion was seen and Cana let out a scream. 
"CANA!" Wakaba yelled however Macao got in front of her just in the nick of time before the blast hit her.
"Macao." Cana said as he was still trying to stand from the attack.
Katara had formed the octopus form to keep the mages away from her but an electrical attack was blasted to her and she dropped her water in fear, but a rock wall appeared in front of her and the blast was blocked.
"Pick on someone your own size!" Toph yelled and she stepped on the ground and spider web like cracks spread to the Phantom wizards and pillars of earth burst out of those pillars and it pushed back all the wizards who were in front of Katara.
"Thanks Toph."
"Geez, it's like we never hit these guys at all, they are coming back at us!"
Erza looked around and sees that Phantom has now gained the upper hand in the battle. "Not only have they got their attacking strength back, but our morale has significantly fallen since the Master's defeat." She looks to everyone. "We have no choice." 
"Retreat!" she yelled.
"What! No way!" Natsu yelled
"We can't just run from this fight!" Gray sternly said as well.
"You think I'm just gonna run after coming this far!" Toph angrily yelled.
"We can't I can still fight." Macao said while he was being held up by Cana.
"Listen to me! Without the Master, we cannot win!" Erza yelled.
"Toph! If we stay here. Master Makarov's condition will only get worse, leaving right now is the best option." Katara said
Toph grunted and she made a huge wall that separated the wizards from Phantom and the ones from Fairy Tail. "I guess you both have a point." She said with an annoyed voice.
"Forget it! I'm not running!" Gray said as his fist was on his palm and mist formed between them, Erza grabbed them both with her one hand.
"Please…" Erza said and she then buried her head in Gray's chest in sadness.
"Fine." Gray said now agreeing with Erza.
"I hate this!" Natsu said and Toph just made a pillar that threw a grunt to the wall she made earlier.
"I know what you mean Flamebrain."
They both looked up to the rafters and Natsu glared at Gajeel. Suddenly the figure that defeated Makarov had appeared next to Gajeel. "So Aria, how did it go?" Gajeel asked
"We have successfully captured Lucy Heartfilia. It was s-so sorrowful!" He said as he had endless tears coming out of his covered eyes.
"Why must you cry over everything?" Gajeel asked in annoyance.
Both Natsu and Toph heard the conversation and they looked up. 
"Gajeel!" Natsu yelled.
"We will settle our battle one day, Salamander." Gajeel said and both he and Aria disappeared.
Natsu maintained an angry look on his face. 
"Natsu what's wrong?" Happy asked.
"They have Lucy!"
"Well, we can't just sit here. The others are heading to the guild, it's up to us, so let's rescue our princess." Toph said.
Natsu grabbed a Phantom grunt who was about to go after the retreating Fairy Tail. 
"Huh! The Salamander, The Earth Wizard, and a cat!" He said yelping.
"You and I are going to have a little talk!" Natsu said in a very threatening voice as his eyes glowed red as his upper body was covered by the shadows.
----Aang woke up and he saw that he was on a dragon and it was flying over Magnolia and Aang saw Avatar Roku riding it. "R-Roku?"
"The other Avatar spirits and I need to have a talk with you, it concerns you and the Avatar State and your Avatar Spirit."
"Okay… but I things aren't looking good for me right now I need to save Lucy from the Phantom Lord."
"Then we shall contact you right here and now, in your dream."
Suddenly Aang was standing in the air over the building where the Magical Council would normally assemble in Era. Where ever he stepped water ripples would appear.
He suddenly saw five transparent figures ahead of him. He recognized four of them as the past Avatars Yangchen, Kuruk, Kyoshi and Roku, but he was surprised at the fifth figure, he was seeing the spirit of Gray and Lyon's former teacher, Ur.
"Wait! You're Gray's teacher. Roku what's going on here!?" he exclaimed.
"I shall explain to you all that you need to know. But you have to listen carefully, Aang. For what we are about to tell you is very important."
