WHO: Anyone who wanted to confront the old lady from plot + anyone else who might be curious by a shady old woman with a kid that isn't hers
WHEN: In the morning today
WHAT: Confrontation times!
Summary: Hey, Hey guys, remember that old lady who asked some gullible kind heroes for help? SHe's baaaaack~~! <3


Today in Genessia, some people may come across a familiar (or not familiar) old crone. To those familiar with her, it's the same suspicious old woman that requested they 'rescue some kidnapped children. Whether or not they were able to - well. That's no matter now, right?

In any case, she'd got a stick in one hand as she hobbles along back through the gate, holding something in her other hand as she goes. She doesn't stop for anything, but stealthily slips through the gate to Fayren and, if one were to follow her, will eventually pass through the forest into a heavily wooded and foggy section until the ground gives way to a hardened path of bones bleached white by the sun, leading up to a cottage. Mind where you step, it's rather hard to see here.

If looks could kill everyone within Erza's line of sight would have been dead; fortunately she was looking at the enemy. The fact these creatures had taken the children was reason enough to make it personal for Erza, now they were trying to claim the kids as their property?

"Unforgivable." She muttered, fists trembling with barely contained anger. The redhead faced her fellow guild-mates.

"Try to keep damage to the guild to a minimum."

Gajeel had torn up a pretty significant chunk of the yard already and she knew Natsu would try to best the Iron Dragon-Slayer. Erza climbed onto the window frame, staring down the golem with murderous intent.

"And if you cannot, I'll forgive you so long as you crush them into dust."

[celestial_wizard]

Whoops, they made Titania angry.

Wait, back up.

Whoops, they made all of Fairy Tail angry.

Regina, having been about to help Lucy with the drinks, the celestial wizard shook her head instead, "Do as Natsu says! You'll be safe back there and it's going to get dangerous if you stay out front here." On both sides. Once Regina is off, Lucy joins Natsu at the window, frowning. "There's... really a lot of them. Wah - that guy is huge!" Because he's a golem. Still, she reaches for her keys - if they wanna play with arrows, she can play with arrows too.

Hammerman stops short as the metal tube comes flying out of the guild hall, smashing into the ground in front of him. A hand swipes through the cloud of dust that gets kicked up clearing the air as he glowers in the direction of the scary red eyes. "HAHAA! Who are you calling bacon? We aren't leaving without what's ours, small fry! Come out here and stop me if you can." He countered, grabbing the metal pipes and yanking it from the ground. YAY new toy?

The Rock Golem does not want to be crushed into dust, and Erza's glare actually makes it pause for a second. Just a second though - one massive hand is slowly lifting as he steadily stomps forward, intent on squishing the redhead flat, and the guild with it.

Meanwhile! The farmhands are already in the process of taking aim again, to fire through that open window. Ready! AIM!....!!

They made two dragons, Titania and the celestial queen angry. That's quite the death sentence for the earth made dolls to be certain. On one hand this was going to increase their reputation exponentially not that they were thinking about that. This was all about taking out a threat to their newest guild members.

"Yeah they really brought out an army huh. But what I wanna know is where the heck the hag is if she even bothered to show up herself." Natsu answered Lucy before he heard Erza's order. A vicious grin grew on his lips. Getting the all clear from Erza to go wild. Oh these idiots had no idea of the hell they had unleashed.

He filled his mouth with fire and stuck his head through the shattered window only to open his mouth in the direction of the small army and bathing them in his fierce flames.

"Looks like bacon, smells like bacon. And oh hey, listen to that. I just got permission."

A broad and rather predatory grin appeared on Gajeel's face as the smoke cleared. He easily hopped over the windowsill and cracked his knuckles. His smile faltered just a little as Natsu managed to beat him to the punch, but he quickly recovered. He waited just long enough for the smoke to clear (or for something to leap from it), swiveled to face the guy with the hammer, and took in a deep breath. Like, a really deep breath. His chest started to swell, even. dude you should totally see a doctor about that

"Iron Dragon's Roar!"

And then he raised his hands to his mouth like a funnel, letting out the breath he'd been holding. A small tornado of razor-sharp iron shards shot out of his cupped hands towards the hammer-wielder.

/flies off to the first boss fight ;D

[scarletrequip]

Erza darted from the window frame, gliding swiftly into battle with her freshly requipped Black Wing Armor. She advanced under cover from the roaring Dragon Slayers, confident that their opponents couldn't muster a defense against such sudden and ferocious attacks.

As much as she wanted to make Hammerman pay for his words the golem was the largest threat to the guild and to the children, literally. The armored wizard wasted no time striking at the construct, ferociously slashing at various parts of its hulking form, probing for a weakness.

*plays battol music*

It's a good thing Fairy Haven was on the edge of town - the battle won't come close to the locals and they won't have to worry about accidentally demolishing residence. Just... stuff around them. "I'll bet she's somewhere nearby - probably where she can watch the fight easily." Lucy answered, sidling over to another window and crouching a little to study the landscape. Wheeere would the witchiewitch be..

The torrent of flame from Natsu washed over the earth warriors, torching their arrows and their poor little bodies until nothing was left. ...well. That was easy....Whoops, spoke too soon - the warriors were already starting to reform, a surge of magic taking effect to put them back together. That could be an endless fight, wrecking them and rebuilding them! Seems as long as the witch was hiding out somewhere she'd be able to recreate her warriors, though probably not indefinitely. At least they're ridiculously weak?

Following the blast of fire comes the tornado of iron that rips away from the guild towards the hammer wielder. Now while he'd seen Natsu's power he certainly wasn't prepared for Gajeel's (because who knew there'd be TWO weirdos who could do this sort of thing!) and he immediately went on the defensive, the majority of the attack chipping against his hammer. he did not come out of it unscathed int he least though, bellowing a roar of pain from each gash and cut that got past his guard, blood splattering on the ground.

"You filthy little insect! I'll smash you AND your stupid guild thing!" That being said, he took several steps forward, hefting the hammer over his head and swinging it down to bring it into the roof over the pub.

At least that was the intention, except suddenly in the empty space between hammer and guild, there is suddenly a whooooooooooole lot of pink wooly fluff that the hammer crashes into. That would be due to Aries who was summoned just outside the guild with Lucy, keeping a nice thick barrier against people going smash happy.

This brings us to the mighty Titania taking on the Golem (gollum gollum), sending up sparks as her blade chipped away at its body. The Golem didn't appear to like having her buzzing about its head, massive hand swinging this way and that and trying to swat Erza down like she's a particularly annoying wasp. Its only really weak spots seem to be right at the joins of the body, however!

Anyone within a three mile radius could hear this racket. Especially with all of the explosions, fire being shot in all directions and threatening to burn down the Guild Hall. 'Blackie' might have been left behind in Exsilium (poor thing), but the idea of keeping an eye on Zeref had been somewhat mutual. So, naturally, what else would he do but create another demon?

Peeking its head out of the Fairy Haven garbage (the things a demon will do for its creator), the small imp-like creature narrowed its featureless eyes to observe the battle. It had chosen a trash can as an attempt to mask its scent from the Dragon Slayers. Time will only tell if it works, or if it ends up being roasted alive by a stray fireball.

[explodewiththerage]

Of course Erza would steal the biggest adversary. ANd Gajeel had to go pick the hammer guy. He turned to Lucy hearing her suggestion which was only proved all the more true when the magic reformed the earth soldiers.

"Nice save, Lucy!" Natsu gave a thumbs up to Lucy before he climbed up over the wool barrier and reach the rooftop. From there he scanned the surroundings both with his eyes and his nose for the familiar scent of the witch.

[karmademon]

After the hammer-wielder's unsuccessful strike on the guild hall, there was a loud 'whoosh!' of displaced air as something shot straight towards the side of his head. The projectile in question was a large metal club, which extended all the way up to Gajeel's elbow...nearly twenty feet away.

Whether the club hit or not, it began to rapidly snap back towards Gajeel's position.

"Are you new or something?" Gajeel asked in a peevish tone, a vein visibly throbbing on his forehead. "Don't look away in the middle of a fight!"

[scarletrequip]

Unfortunately for the golem Erza had faced similar yet much more nimble opponents during the Grand Magic Games. Her initial attacks had proved successful enough for her to formulate a new strategy; she didn't need excessive force, just extreme precision.

Narrowly avoiding a swipe from the lumbering giant Erza vaulted over its shoulder. She requipped as she tumbled, swapping her sword for another; a very specific weapon for a very specific task. The blade flashed crimson as Titania brought Benizakura to bear, cutting at the joint between the left shoulder and arm. She'd taken a gamble by trading her superior mobility to wield the katana but Erza was confident that it would be the best way to end this quickly.

[celestial_wizard]

Lucy flashed a grin at Natsu for the compliment, before she quickly summoned Saggitarius to deal with some of the ever-returning sandmen. Annoyingly weak they were! Ms. Witch is close. Very close - though not so visually at first, the wind does carry her scent from the trees. Thoroughly displeased with the performance her minions were doing, a figure soon emerged from the treeline, heavy violet-gray robes, a perfect posture and youthful face, cold gray eyes and black hair. Looks a lot like Regina, actually.

Yo Natsu~! Thanks for taking care of mah kids you can give 'em back now, ohoho.

Really, how was she to know this 'guild' had such monsterous people in it? The hammer wielder - so full of overconfidence! He.. probably should have been paying more attention to Gajeel, and he pays the price when that metal club crashes into his head, dealing a savage blow that actually sends him crashing down to his knees, spitting obscenities. THE WORLD. THE WORLD IS SPINNING.

Poor golem, like Gajeel's opponent, he was woefully outmatched - by the time he'd turned to crash a fist down on where Erza was, she was no longer there, but dancing out of reach and targeting his shoulder joint. There's a brief explosion of magic as the blade cuts through, stone tearing away from ... whatever the heck goop was keeping it together, before its arm falls to the ground, severed from its body. Infuriated, the beast swung its other arm at the redhead wildly, too dumb to understand when it should retreat.
