Haruto broke out of his meditation as the session with the Sage was over and now he could continue his training. Pleased with the outcome, he jumped off the roof and landed on the ground without a issue at all. The Guild was about ready to attack the enemy Guild and Makarov stood in the lead with a grim expression on his face. He watched as the Guild began marching forward and towards the Phantom Lord base, Haruto was hanging around the back with the Master as they were planning some ways of attack.
"Master, I can send a few of my clones to scout first." Haruto offered as he looked at the map once more and his mind was working at an insane rate as plans were created.
"Yes, please do that Haruto-kun." Makarov responded with a frown on his face as he looked at the maps, "When the battle starts, if something is to happen to me please get the rest of the family to safety Haruto-kun."
"Of course Master." Haruto responded as he created a few clones and had them move on ahead of the main force and scout for anything useful to use.
Haruto moved along with the large portion of Fairy Tail members, his mind was thinking about the upcoming war. Makarov had decided on a frontal assault, the redhead had come up with many plans but a frontal assault would be a risky one as they knew nothing of the other Guilds plans. Deciding it was best not to argue with the Master, Haruto went with it. The redhead had told Wendy to stay behind, but the girl would not have it as she wanted to participate and said that her healing magic would come in handy in the future. Though Haruto could not fight the logic, he could not accept it either. But due to coxing from most of the Guild he had relented and allowed her to come, but he always had an eye on her to make sure she was not hurt from the ordeal.

Natsu destroyed the doors leading to the Phantom Lord base and the Fairy Tail members poured in with their magics activated and ready to defeat the members of the enemy Guild. The battle began once more with Makarov turning into a massive size nearly reaching to the top of the ceiling of the building. Making his way across the gathered crowd, he swatted some aside and continued his path inside.
"I am going to look for Jose." Makarov shouted as he slammed a fist against a group of Phantom Lord members, his eyes glowed yellow as his magic continued its effect, "Haruto-kun, take care of the Guild."
"Understood, Master." Haruto replied as he watched the Master make his way across the Guildhall knocking out some of the braver members of the Guild who tried to engage him.
Haruto decided to join the battle, jumping into the middle of a group of enemy mages, he had his eyes activated as he scanned the surrounding mages. One decided he was brave enough to engage the redhead and bounded forward with a fist raised to strike. Haruto sent a kick at the man's chest and another one to his face knocking him to the side, not allowing any of them to take the next step in this dance he formed the Ram hand sign. "Wind Release: Divine Wind." Haruto released a gust of wind that formed several small tornadoes surrounding him and the surrounding Phantom Lord mages were struggling to stay in place. Tiger. "Fire Release: Running Fire." Haruto formed a stream of fire that combined with the miniature tornadoes and a massive flaming hurricane came into existence as it ate up the surrounding enemies.
Multiple blasts of magic flew through the air and made their way towards him, Haruto merely placed his hand on his Gunbai and channeled a bit of chakra into it. Placing it before him and in the direction of the incoming magical attacks, he added more chakra into the Gunbai as a barrier formed before him stopping the attacks easily. The chakra he pushed into the Gunbai turned into wind chakra as he swung his fan into the sky and a giant tornado formed in the sky and descended onto the enemies below. The attack blew the enemies off balance and were sent in various directions as the tornado continued to rage on. Catching various movements, Haruto spotted Wendy facing off against multiple enemies, he was about to aid her when he decided against it in favor of watching how far his sister had improved. It didn't sit well with him that he was not aiding his sister, but he wanted her to become stronger and if he always babied her she would never grow. He continued to watch as Wendy took out one of them easily with one of her offense techniques, he could feel pride swelling in his heart as he continued to watch his sister dance with the enemies.
After watching Wendy defeat the last enemy that decided to engage her, he turned to face the other Phantom Lord members with a smirk on his face. How could he not smirk, his sister grew so much since he had met her. Now she improved so much that she could easily defend herself, though she was so far above the enemy he would not stop protecting her. It was his job as the elder brother after all, what brother would stop protecting their beloved siblings. A blast of fire flew past him as he quickly refocused on the dance, swinging his fan once more he added enough chakra into the movement and sent away several enemies. "Gunabi Fanned Wind" was one of his favorite techniques, as it was simple and could be easily utilized in any situation. The technique did not kill so it was easy for him to use it in this world, though he preferred to end the enemies before they could become a threat it did not work well with this worlds ideals.
Channeling chakra to his legs, he leaped into the air and landed in between a group of Phantom Lord Guid members and engaged them in a quick battle. Sending one back with a chakra powered kick, he stopped a punch sent his way by one of the other mages and yanked him forward. Punching the mage in the stomach, he grabbed hold of the mage and sent him towards a group of approaching enemies. Before anyone could go after him, he rushed forward and headed deeper into the Phantom Lord Guild. His eyes scanned everyone and everywhere he passed as the redhead continued forward and his hands went through a series of hand signs. Ram-Horse-Tiger-Rabbit-Snake. "Earth Release: Devouring Earth." Haruto pushed chakra into the earth below him and the effects of his technique took shape when the earth beneath a group of enemy mages formed into several enormous jaws and swallowed them up. Making his way forward, he stopped when a blur rushed past him narrowing his eyes Haruto scanned the mage that passed him. Speed Magic. Haruto thought in annoyance.
"How can you beat me when you can't catch me?" the mage said in a slightly arrogant tone.
"Very well then if you wish to compete for speed then please I insist." Haruto replied with a smirk on his face as he pushed chakra to his feet and jumped into the air, "Wendy!"
Wendy hearing her name being called nodded in understanding and began forming magic, "Fast wind that runs through the heavens… Vernier !"
A blue magic circle formed below Haruto and he was soon consumed in a blue light himself. Speeding forward he matched the mage as they sped around the hall, Haruto's smirk widened as he boosted himself further and sped past the man and formed a Rasengan in his hand and slammed it against his chest. The man did not have enough time to react as the sphere sent him into the air and he crashed into the wall of the building leaving leaving a print of the mans body in the stone.
"Amazing as usual Wendy." Haruto complimented as he clapped his hands together. "Water Release: Water Colliding Wave." a spiraling vortex of water formed in the air and exploded into a violent wave of water. The water crashed into another portion of the enemy forces and washed them away in a swift motion.
"Master!" Erza yelled out getting the attention of all of the surrounding people.
Haruto narrowed his eyes as he saw the Master in Erza's arms. The green skin was not a good sign, Haruto cursed under his breath. Moving quickly he got in front of Erza and the Master as he slammed his palm onto the ground and pushed chakra to the earth. Bird-Hare-Serpent. "Wood Release: World of Trees Wall." countless wooden branches grew from the ground at a rapid rate and interlaced into a wide net-like wall surrounding him and Erza who was handing the downed Guild Master to Elfman who ran out of the Guildhall as fast as he could go.
"Retreat!" Erza yelled as she beckoned for the group to leave.
The Fairy Tail mages hesitated as they began making their way out of the Guildhall and Erza and Gray rushed out as well carrying a screaming Natsu. Haruto was one of the last to leave, the redhead had already set explosive tags around the building with the clones he had created a while ago. Escaping the building with the rest of the Guild, Haruto formed a hand sign and soon the explosive tags ignited and blew up separately. The force of the explosive tags blew up the support of the building and soon with the lack of support the building began collapsing on itself.
The retreating group of Fairy Tail mages made it back to the Guild without further issues, they were now back in the Guild. Wendy was healing the injured, though they gotten back relatively safe, the Master was in a uncertain state. Due to that the Guild's moral was dangerously low, the situation could not be worse, their leader was taken out and the enemies leader's status was still unknown. What made it worse was that Mirajane was arguing with Laxus about returning, Haruto was not in the Guild as he was making his way towards the forest. Vanishing into the trees, he pulled out a communication Lacrima, he quickly channeled his chakra into it and soon a image appeared. The person displayed was none other than Mystogan himself, the mysterious S-Class mage gave a nod in acknowledgement to the redhead displayed before him.
"Haruto, I have collected bits of the Masters magic at the moment, but it will take longer for all of it to be gathered." Mystogan informed the redhead as Haruto nodded in understanding.
"I understand Mystogan, how many of the subdivisions have you and my clone gotten rid of so far?" Haruto asked in curiosity as he waited for the answer.
"Six so far, your clone is quite powerful." Mystogan said as he held up multiple Phantom Lord banners before the redhead, "We will try and make it back as soon as possible, but I do not believe we can arrive fast enough to help out."
"No problem, focus on the task at hand Mystogan. The first priority is to get Master back on his feet, then we worry about Phantom Lord." Haruto replied as his eyes widened as the earth below him shook, "I must leave Mystogan, something is coming."
"Be safe Haruto, protect the Guild." Mystogan gave the redhead a nod before he cut the connection, not before hearing a goodbye from the redhead.
Whatever this is, it's big. Haruto thought as another tremor shook the earth and he jumped into the air with a boost from his chakra. Pumping extra chakra to his legs he gave another push and flew past a few trees and continued forward not bothering to slow down.
