Elfman Strauss vs. Gajeel Redfox

is a battle fought between Mage of Fairy Tail, Elfman and S-Class Mage of Phantom Lord, Gajeel Redfox.

Prologue
Gajeel's assault to Shadow Gear enraged Makarov and the rest of Fairy Tail enough for them to come all the way to the Phantom Lord Guild in retaliation for the damages Phantom Lord caused. The front lines were led by Natsu Dragneel, Erza Scarlet, Gray Fullbuster, Cana Alberona and a few others.

Makarov left most of the fighting to the rest of Fairy Tail and went after Phantom Lord Guild Master, Jose Porla, whom he assumed is on the top floor.

Battle
After Makarov's departure, Gajeel shows himself to Fairy Tail. In response, Nab comes in for a punch at Gajeel, but he easily shoots him down along with a few of his own guildmates. He calls himself as "Gajeel-sama" to the Fairy Tail mages that he called "scum". Elfman jumps in towards Gajeel, uses his magic to switch his Beast Arm into one that seems to be made of stone and punches Gajeel who manages to block it. Elfman states that a man is a man even if he is scum.

Gajeel's arms and legs elongate to what seems like a long iron rod and attempts to strike Elfman who dodges the first strike and blocks the second. The Iron Dragon Slayer acknowledges Elfman as "not bad" and Elfman replies that a man must be strong. Afterwards, Gajeel makes numerous smaller and thinner iron rods out of his iron leg and they hit the members of Phantom Lord. This atrocious act of Gajeel distracted Elfman enough that Gajeel managed to land a punch on his face using his ironed arm. Elfman is thrown back and suddenly Natsu jumps on Elfman in mid-air and launches himself at Gajeel and manages to hurl him backward. Natsu tells Elfman that he'll take over the fight. Elfman tells him that he can't interrupt a battle between men, but he lets Natsu fight Gajeel anyway.

Aftermath
The battle between Natsu Dragneel and Gajeel Redfox starts. A few moments in the middle of the battle, the Phantom Lord Guild starts to shake. The members of Phantom Lord tremble with fear while the members of Fairy Tail acknowledge the rumbling as Makarov's fury, or rather, The Giant's Wrath. They declare that as long as they have their Master, they cannot lose.
