Fairy Tail vs. Phantom Lord

— — — — — — — 

Everyone gathered behind the guild.

"W-What... is that...?"

Nearly everyone was stunned by the sight before them. A massive guild building was moving across the lake, heading straight for Fairy Tail.

"A walking guild..."

"Phantom Lord...?"

"I can't believe it... They're attacking like this?"

"W-What do we do?!"

Panic spread among the members.

No one expected Phantom Lord Guild Master himself to launch a sneak attack while theirs was away.

Coincidence? No way. This was too well-timed.

Phantom Lord Guild

Jose stood at the top-floor window of Phantom Lord's moving guild and gave his command: "Prepare the Jupiter Cannon."

A massive cannon barrel extended from the guild, gathering an immense amount of magical energy at its muzzle.

"Hey! Look at that!"

"That's the Magical Convergent Cannon: Jupiter! It can destroy the entire guild!"

"Are they insane?! This is a city!"

Fairy Tail was located at the heart of Magnolia, the town itself was a bustling place filled with people. The streets in front of Fairy Tail were lively and crowded.

The blast from the Jupiter Cannon would undoubtedly affect the surrounding buildings.

At that moment, Uchiha Kitaro stepped forward.

"Kitaro? What are you doing?!"

"Step back a little, all of you."

"Wait... Are you planning to block that attack?!"

"That's impossible! It's the Jupiter Cannon! No matter how strong you are, you can't stop it!"

"Stop! Kitaro, you'll die!"

Everyone in the guild turned pale, desperately trying to stop him.

Kitaro, however, simply smiled. "Relax. It's just a measly Jupiter Cannon."

"Disappear."

Whoosh—!!

A concentrated blast of magical energy shot across the water, heading straight for Fairy Tail.

"Aaaahhh!!"

Everyone screamed and ducked for cover.

Kitaro activated his Mangekyō Sharingan.

Shing—!!

A massive, golden-orange-colored energy skeleton materialized around him. With an enormous skeletal arm, it reached out to intercept the blast.

BOOM—!!

"KITARO—!!!"

"Aaaahhh!!!"

The explosion sent shockwaves through the air, causing everyone to cry out in fear.

After a few moments, the dust and energy dispersed.

"We... We're still alive..."

"Unbelievable... He actually blocked the Jupiter Cannon..."

"Wait! What... what is that?!"

Everyone in Fairy Tail stared in shock at the massive energy skeleton surrounding Kitaro.

That enormous figure had shielded them from the Jupiter Cannon—and Kitaro himself was completely unharmed within its protection.

That was the Jupiter Cannon! And yet, he was unscathed?

"K-Kitaro... What kind of magic is that?"

"Oh, this?" Kitaro smirked. "This is the ultimate power I can use after unlocking my Mangekyō Sharingan—Susanoo."

"Susanoo... That's... incredible!!"

Everyone was left speechless. Just how many abilities did this guy have? Why did he even need to study magic when he already possessed such overwhelming power?

Even the smallest fraction of Kitaro's abilities far surpassed their own magic.

Phantom Lord Headquarters

"What?! Who the hell is that guy?! He blocked the Jupiter Cannon?! Since when did Fairy Tail have a wizard this strong?!"

Jose's face twisted in fury as he watched the attack fail.

"I heard his name is Uchiha Kitaro. He joined Fairy Tail just a month ago."

"A newcomer? A damn rookie managed to block Jupiter?! Damn that Makarov! His luck is unreal! But this only makes me want to wipe out that damn Fairy Tail even more."

At that moment, a swarm of ghostly soldiers began pouring out of Phantom Lord's guild.

"What the hell are those?!"

"An army?!"

"There's so many of them!!"

[Fairy Tail! You dared to attack my guild! Now! Immediately! Hand over the ones responsible, and I might consider letting the rest of you live!]

"Are you kidding me?!"

"What kind of guild would hand over their own comrades to the enemy?!"

"If you want them, you'll have to step over our dead bodies first!!"

Fairy Tail's members shouted back in defiance.

Kitaro, watching all of this unfold, felt something stir deep inside him. He wasn't someone ruled by emotions—ninjas had to be logical and level-headed at all times.

He had learned a great deal from Orochimaru, and in many ways, his personality had become similar to his former mentor's.

The only people he truly cared for were his closest friends, his clan, and the woman he loved.

Yet, despite only being in Fairy Tail for a short time, the guild had already accepted him as one of their own.

Comrades, huh?

[Hmph! Then prepare yourselves for an even stronger Jupiter blast! Enjoy these next fifteen minutes in fear while we reload! Hahaha!]

"What?!"

"Jupiter... again?!"

The guild members paled at the thought of another shot from the cannon.

[Fairy Tail, prepare to die. You have only two choices: fall to my army, or be obliterated by Jupiter.]

"No way... Are they really planning to fire Jupiter again, even with their own soldiers on the battlefield?"

"T-They're just bluffing... There's no way they'd actually do it..."

"No... They will. Those aren't real soldiers—they're Jose's Ghost Army. They're not human, just spectral warriors he created."

Suddenly—

Kitaro spoke in a calm voice, "Fifteen minutes, huh? The real question is—can you even last that long?"
