Both Natsu and Gray started to simultaneously think, "I'm supposed to work with this guy?" But they decided to not oppose Erza and follow her orders.
At this point, the man went back to sleep.
The Next Day, Train Station
Natsu and Gray were fighting, like always, while Lucy was sitting, with Happy in her lap, next to a dark haired man in blue and white robes, white shoulder pads, and a dark blue cape, who happened to be asleep. Happy questioned why they were there, causing Lucy to tell the little cat what happened.
Flash Back, Previous Day, Fairy Tail Guild Hall
"Hey Lucy," the mentioned girl looked towards Mirajane, who called her name, "I know they may be a strong team together, but Natsu and Gray tend to fight when Erza isn't paying attention, so I would like for you to go with them."
Lucy was shocked by this and asked, "But, they're a lot stronger than me! How would I stop them from fighting?"
Mirajane realized that she was right so she suggested, "I see where you're coming from, so why don't you take him," she gestured to a man sleeping in the corner of the guild, "with you?"
"Who is he?"
"Oh I forgot, he's only been in the guild for about a year now, so he doesn't really have a reputation yet. He's Ryner Lute; he should be able to help you out." Mirajane then started to shout in his direction, "Hey, Ryner!" Her shout only made him turn his head, which made her frown, so she walked over to him and shook him, in hopes that it'll wake him up.
After a few seconds, Mirajane finally got a response, "Leave me be, I just want to sleep."
"Ryner, I have a favor to ask of you." Mirajane decided to pursue the conversation, despite Ryner's want of sleep.
Ryner raised his head, and opened his eyes to reveal dark red irises, "What is it?" He yawned out.
"I want you to go with Lucy tomorrow; maybe you get some more mission knowledge." Ryner nodded and went back to sleep.
End Flashback
"And that's why I'm here, but what's he," Lucy poked a finger at Ryner, "supposed to do?"
Happy, who was munching on a fish, tried to clear her thoughts, "Well, he can do more than you, for one point." Lucy was crestfallen to hear that, an apparently lazy, man would do more than her, but before she could comment she noticed Erza coming. Lucy informed Natsu and Gray about Erza coming, and that made them go into "buddy-buddy mode" so Erza wouldn't get mad. When Lucy looked back, she noticed Erza had so many luggages trailing behind her; it was enough for an army. "Why is there so much?!" Lucy screamed.
Lucy's scream got Erza to look towards her, "Who are you; I think I would remember if I saw you at the guild?"
"I'm new to Fairy Tail, my name's Lucy. Mira requested that me and Ryner," people love to gesture to Ryner as he sleeps, "to go with you guys, to help on the mission, I hope that's fine with you."
Erza face took on some questioning features before she remembered a rumor, "Oh, you're the new recruit I heard so much about, the one that defeated an entire battalion of gorilla monsters with your pinky?" Lucy didn't have the heart to tell her that it was only one Vulcan, the gorilla monsters, and it was Natsu that defeated it, "It'll be good to have you on the mission then." Erza looked over at Ryner, only to see him sleeping, "Ryner!" Erza yelled.
The yell startled him from his sleep, "Ah, what?!"
"What have I told you about sleeping on the job?" This lead to Erza scolding Ryner, while he tried to defuse the situation, by explaining himself and waving his hands in front of his head.
"Oh boy," Lucy sighed and Natsu looked over at Erza.
"Hey Erza, I'll go on this mission, but only on one condition." Natsu's deceleration got the group's attention, "When we get back, I challenge you to a rematch." Natsu demanded with some fire in his eyes.
"Do you have a death wish," Gray tried to get Natsu to back out, "this is Erza we're talking about."
"Oh I'm stronger than I was back then."
Erza decided to indulge him, "Alright, if that is what you want than I have no choice than to accept."
"YES, I'M ALL FIRED UP NOW!" Natsu's head literally burst into flames.
Ten Minutes Later, Train Compartment
On the train Gray was sitting next to the window with, a motion sick, Natsu to his right. Across from them was Ryner, asleep and next to the window as well; Lucy, to his left; Happy, sitting in Lucy's lap; and Erza, directly across from Natsu. "Natsu," Erza requested his attention, "Why don't you sit next to me?" Lucy, saddened by this because she thought this was just a way to not sit next to her, got up, and switched places with Natsu, "Just relax." Erza ordered him. As soon as Natsu relaxed as much as he could, Erza jabbed him in the abdomen hard enough to knock him out cold, and scare Lucy a bit.
"Well," Gray started, "now that we are here, why don't you fill us in on what going on, Erza." His tone suggested that he wouldn't take no for an answer.
"Certainly, on my travels I heard about a dark guild, Eisenwald, planning something big. I'm not sure what but it has something to do with a magical artifact, which was sealed away, its name is 'Lullaby'."
Lucy seemed a bit confused, "Isn't that just something that parents use to but their children to sleep?"
"It is, but I think that is just a code name they're using; the fact that they said it was sealed away means that it has to be powerful and dangerous. It seems that Eisenwald is after the Lullaby meaning that it's deadly, because their top mage, Erigor, accepts only assassination contracts. When the council outlawed assassination contracts, they thought money was more important, so they became a dark guild."
"So if I'm getting this right," Gray brought the attention back to himself, "we're going to storm the Eisenwald guild and stop them from what they're doing." Erza responded with an affirmative nod, "Cool."
After a few minutes of silence, and looking out the window, Lucy realized she only knew what type of magic Natsu used, Fire Dragon Slayer magic, so she voiced her thoughts, "Erza's magic is beautiful," the blue cat started, "it makes people bleed, a lot." The last part seemed to be more of an afterthought, but Lucy didn't think that was beautiful.
"Well, I think Gray's magic is prettier than mine." Erza said, doing a little gesture to tell Gray to do a bit of a show. Gray thought that there was no harm in indulging them, so he put his right hand, palm open and up, out with his left fist above it. A small ice-blue magic circle appeared for a brief moment, and Gray opened his left fist to reveal a small ice sculpture of Fairy Tail's insignia.
Lucy had a look of realization come across her face before she said, with a bit of surprise, "So that's why you and Natsu don't get along! He's fire, and you're ice!" Erza made a comment about how she never realized that, while Gray tried to deny that reason. "But what about Ryner, what's his magic?" There was another gesture to the sleeping man.
Erza decided to tell Lucy, "Most." A simple but confusing answer, and seeing Lucy's confused face, Erza decided to elaborate, "As long as the magic isn't a holder magic, Ryner can analyze, copy, and reuse any spell you use against you." Lucy could only imagine how scary fighting I guy like that would be, so she decided to stay quiet.
After getting off at Onibus Station, Erza started to order Lucy, Gray, and Happy what they were supposed to do, that is until Lucy realized they forgot Natsu and Ryner on the train. Hearing this, Erza requested for one of them to punch her for penance.
Same Time, Train
Back in the compartment, a motion sick Natsu was sitting next to a sleeping Ryner. A male, who wore a white jacket with nearly black hair and eyes, walked over to the compartment and noticed the red Fairy Tail symbol on Natsu's right shoulder, "So, how's a legal guild treating you?" The man asked with a cheery tone, but before Natsu could answer the man shoved his foot into Natsu's face, "I bet you think you're so cool, blindly following the council like a puppet on a string!" That shout roused Ryner from his sleep, "Do you know what we call you? We call you fairies, flies!" This caused Natsu, who lit his fists with fire, to get angry at the man and shove him away. "I seem to have struck a cord, so what are you going to do about it, fly?"
Natsu was about to retort, but his motion sickness got the better of him, and the flames on his fists were blown out. Seeing this made the man laugh, "You call that magic? Here let me show you magic!" Hearing this, Ryner's eyes changed to have a pentagram in the iris, and they glowed as he looked at the dark purple magic circle. Name: Shadow Knuckle, Type: Caster, Details: Turns the caster's shadow into a fist in order to attack the enemy, Weakness: Light.
Both Ryner and the man called out at the same time, "Shadow Knuckle!" Hearing this, the man was startled to see his shadow attack intercepted by a magic almost exactly like his own. The man could only stutter out a faint question of "how" before he was hit in the face by a fist made of shadows. As he hit the ground, the train stopped and threw Natsu and Ryner to the ground. The train also jarred the body of the man, which caused a strange flute with a three-eyed flute to come out of his jacket. "You have seen it," the man said as he got up, "I can't allow you to leave alive!"
"Hey buddy," the pink haired man spoke up to get the guy's attention, "why don't I show you some real magic!" A fire-red magic circle appeared beneath Natsu. Name: Fire Dragon's Iron Fist, Type: Caster, Details: Requires a body akin to that of a dragon's and coats the fist with fire to deal explosive damage, Weakness: Strong winds and large quantities of water. "Fire Dragon's Iron First!" Natsu called out his attack, making the man do a defensive spell. Name: Shadow Guard, Type: Caster, Details: Makes the shadows of the caster come up in a defensive sphere, Weakness: Light
"Shadow Guard!" The man called out right before he was hit, unfortunately Natsu's spell was explosive so it blew up the majority of the train car.
"Sorry," a female voice over the, somehow intact, loud speakers, "the emergency stop was a false alarm. Have a nice day." When the woman was done, the train started back up, so Natsu started to get motion sick again and grab his bags.
"Ryner!" Natsu grabbed his shoulder, "We got to go!"
"You guys can't leave yet; I, Kageyama of Eisenwald, am not finished with you!" The man, now known as Kageyama, declared.
"Eisenwald eh? I'll remember that for the next time I want to kick your ass!" Natsu then jumped out of the train, bringing Ryner, whose eyes turned back to normal, with him.
Same Time, Outside the Train
A green magic-mobile, with Gray on top, was trailing behind the train, and nearing the somewhat broken compartment. Erza, who was driving the magic-mobile, was surprised to see Natsu and Ryner burst out of the train car and smack in to Gray, so she slammed on the brakes and skidded to a halt. "What the hell, Natsu!" Gray yelled furiously as he rubbed his forehead about a minute later.
"Maybe I wouldn't have done that if you didn't leave us on the train!" Natsu shouted back, he was just as angry as Gray.
Erza intervened, "And for that I'm sorry," she took Natsu's and Ryner's head, and hugged them into her steel breast plate, "but what happened?"
"This jerk decided to attack me, said he was from Eisenwald." This caused Erza to get furious and slap him, saying that he should have captured the man because they were after the Eisenwald guild. Natsu tried to defend himself, saying that he didn't know that.
Erza sighed, "Was there anything noteworthy to speak of?" Erza questioned Natsu and Ryner.
"Yeah," this came from the lazy mage, "the man, Kageyama's his name, he had a flute, and it had a head with three eyes on it." This information made Lucy gasp in a bit of horror, "What do you know Lucy?" Ryner asked evenly.
"I read about flute like that before," Lucy noticed that she got the attention of the group, "the Cursed Lullaby Flute. It's death magic; it kills anyone who hears its song." When the blonde finished, Erza ordered the team to get in the car. Once everyone got in the vehicle, the magic-mobile sped off after the train.
Twenty-Five Minutes Later, Oshibana Main Road
Speeding down the road, the magic-mobile, with Gray on top of it, was on its way to the town' strain station. People were jumping out of the ways, as to not get ran over. Erza drove the vehicle to the station, where a large crowd of people were forming. As they arrived, Erza immediately jumped out of the magic car and started to question the authorities there. Those that didn't answer in time were knocked out, until one of them told her that Eisenwald took other the station.
Receiving her answers, Erza told the group of Fairy Tail mages, with Lucy carrying a still motion sick Natsu, to follow her into the station. Inside the station the bodies of the royal army foot soldiers littered the ground, however the mages continued on and up a flight of stairs. Once they were up the stairs, they saw the entire Eisenwald guild, including Kageyama.
Before anyone could do anything, a shirtless man; with white hair, blue tattoos, dark eyes, and a large scythe leaning on his shoulder; made himself known, "Welcome Fairy Tail flies!"
End Chapter
Well, this is the second chapter of the story, and just like before questions will be answered at the beginning of the next ark.
So good day, and good night.
