Emmet summoned a sword, glaring at the members of the dark guild in the doorway. "What could you possibly gain from unpredictable death magic such as Sandman? It makes no sense."

"Well would you look at that? A couple of guild rats want to play!" He laughed, I clenched my teeth, leaping towards him.

"Guild rats?! Why you!" My fist blazed as I leaped forwards. One of the wizards held out a hand, a strange magic circle that I'd never seen before glowing.

"Reflect." She said cooly. My fist froze in mid air, then turned and plowed into my face, sending me back into the car and whacking my head off the window.

"Natsu-chan!" Will exclaimed, stooping to help me up I rubbed my face as I stood.

"Man... I really pack a punch..." I grumbled. "But it'll take more than a little mirror to stop me!" The woman studied me. She had long violet hair, sharp blue eyes and was on the tall side. Two katanas hung from her waist but she made no move to grab them.

"You boys go find the sandman. I can handle this." She said.

"Yes mistress!" They chanted obediently before dispersing. I glared after the one who called us guild rats.

"Hey wait! I'm not done with you yet!" I yelled, beginning to run after. I saw an object whip towards my head and lifted my arm to block. I caught Gray's boot just before it hit me.

"Gray?! What the Hell?!" I yelled angrily. She looked just as surprised as I felt.

"I don't know! I'm not... My body's moving on its own!" She exclaimed, glaring at our enemy. Around her arms were glowing threads.

"Gray... You're like a puppet..." Luke said in bewilderment.

"I realize that! Shut up and get her already!" Her leg fell and she attacked again, throwing a punch at my head. I ducked out of the way as Emmett charged.

"Let her go!" He swung his sword at the mystery woman. She held up her hand.

"Reflect." She said confidently. But Emmett's sword passed straight through, slashing across her hip. She screamed in pain and Gray dropped to the floor, the golden threads disintegrating. our redheaded fried turned to face us.

"All of you, follow them! I'll handle this!"

"But Emmett-san!" Will protested.

"I said GO! Find Sandman before they do!" He thundered. The clear bell-like sound of metal on metal rang out as he turned just in time to catch the woman's sword on his. Blood dripped from where his sword had met.

"Come on guys! Emmett's got this!" I said, dragging Luke and Will with me. Gray followed as we ran back through the train.

Emmett's POV

I Clenched my teeth as sparks flew. She was stronger than she looked. I wasn't sure if that weird marionette magic that she had used on Gray would affect me or not, so I had to keep my guard up. I leaped back.

"Requip: Purgatory armor!" I felt the rush of energy as the black spiked armor covered me. I pulled a wide serrated sword from midair, leveling it with her. She raised an eyebrow.

"Guild wizards, a redheaded knight, the ability to magically change your armor... Why if I'm not mistaken then I'm fighting Oberon, King of the fairies! Pride of Fairytail! Your reputation must be somewhat exaggerated if this is the best that you can muster." She said, chuckling softly to herself.

"I wouldn't underestimate Fairytail wizards were I you." I said coldly. "You are threatening the lives of countless people by using that hourglass. And when lives hang in the balance, we will always prevail no matter how strong our enemy may be!" I lunged, seeing an opening near her abdomen. I growled when she caught my sword on the flat of her blades, crossing them in an X to block my strike. "What is the purpose of your ridiculous mission?!"

"I am afraid that I cannot divulge that. It's classified information shared by Galvana with only a select few! I would never betray her trust like that!" She shoved me away with a forceful shove and whipped her blade in a deadly arc, slicing across the side of my neck leaving a deep gash. She cocked her head slightly, listening.

"You found it?... good... And the fairies?... Excellent. Let me just finish up here. Oberon and I aren't done playing quite yet." Golden threads surged around me, binding my arms and legs together. My armor cracked and shattered away, causing me to cry out as a large amount of my magic vanished with its loss. The ropes dug into my skin where my tee shirt and pants underneath didn't cover. The thin wires were like razors biting into my flesh. No matter how hard I tried, or how much magic I poured into it, I couldn't requip.

"Who are you?" I growled, glaring daggers. She giggled softly.

"You may call me Orchid. I fight with the furiosity and ruthlessness of a Leviathan." She leaned down and tucked a white flower behind my ear, an orchid. I kicked at her even though it made the wires cut into me again. "Ah ah ah. Don't be difficult. It will only make this worse for you.

"I've killed leviathans before. You will be no different." I swore. "You will fall beneath my sword to repent your crimes. No one will die by the sandman while I still have breath in my lungs!"

"That can be handled." She reached into her bodice and pulled out a small red object. No bigger than an apple it pulsed with a faint light. I could feel from where I lay that it was producing both heat and magical energy. A bomb. "Because there won't be breath in your lungs for much longer."

"There are children on board! Innocent people!" I exclaimed, struggling harder now as the cuts deepened and my blood began leaking onto the floor. I didn't care. I needed to warn the others! Get everyone to evacuate! If I could just contact Natsu then He could eat the explosion before any damage was done!

"We don't care. All who stand in our way will fall for the sake of Galvana." She smiled, setting the device on the floor. "Goodbye, Oberon. I hope that you rot in Hell." She set it to a thirty second countdown before leaping out the window. I struggled against the rope with everything I had. 25 seconds...20 seconds...15 seconds...

"NATSU!" I yelled at the top of my lungs, only praying that she was okay. 10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1..

There was a split second as the timer flashed zero before my heart sank and the train groaned as an explosion began ripping it apart from the inside.

Hey my peeps. So sorry for the delay, but I've been having writers block. Anyway, here's a new chapter, please review! I always love to hear your thoughts!
