Ok, so before we get started I'm gonna answer a question left by a reviewer. Tensa-Zangetsu102 asked what Naruto would eat to make himself stronger as a dragon slayer. The answer to that is, he will get celestial power from Kurama. Kurama will be with Naruto most of the time and if Naruto needs he can feed of Kurama's celestial power. As for the Tengoku slayer magic, he will be able to eat flames like Natsu. If you all have any other ideas let me hear them, maybe I will use one of your ideas (With permission of course) for Naruto's power boost.
And one of the reviewers made a good point, I'm gonna change Naruto's celestial and Tengoku attacks to a silver like color since white has been taken by other slayers. So from this chapter on, all of his attacks will be a bright silver, not like Gajeel's dark grey/silver look.
As Naruto flew through the skies on Chomei's back, Erza, Natsu, Gray, Lucy, and Happy were all headed toward Oshibana Town via a magic four-wheeler to confront Eisenwald. After retrieving Natsu from the train they left him on, and Lucy explaining what all Lullaby was capable of, the group of mages knew they needed to stop the dark guild. As the group arrived in Oshibana Town, they found a group of people outside the train station and Erza decides to ask them for information.
"Excuse me, could you please tell me who's inside?" Erza asked. The man in question took a few seconds to try and figure out who this red haired woman was before he was knocked out. This continued for a few more minutes before someone was smart enough to answer her very quickly.
"If she would give them a chance to answer before knocking them out she might actually get somewhere." Lucy stated while watching Erza question more people.
"Erza doesn't wait for anyone, that's just the way she is." Gray replied.
"Alright, I finally got some information. The rune knights went in a little while ago after Eisenwald but no one has come back out yet. Let's go." Erza said.
The group made their way inside with Lucy carrying Natsu due to him still being affected by his motion sickness. They found the group of rune knights knocked out just inside the main entrance. They stopped long enough to make sure the knights were alright before they continued on into the train station. Once they made it to the main lobby, they were welcomed by the sight of the entire Eisenwald guild. There was one man who stood out from the rest, this man was floating in mid-air. He was bare chested with a torn Japanese type bottom and a large scythe.
"So good of you little flies to finally join us." Spoke the man as he looked over the fairies.
"Who are you and what are you planning to do with the lullaby flute?" asked Erza.
"I am known as Erigor the Shinigami. As for what I am gonna do with lullaby, well that's simple, I'm going to play it and let everyone hear its wonderful melody. Keep them busy while I start our plans." Erigor laughed manically as he flew off down a nearby hallway.
Around this time, Natsu was just getting over his motion sickness. "Gray, I want you and Natsu to follow after Erigor and do whatever it takes to stop him. Lucy and I will deal with the rest of the guild." Erza commanded as she requiped into her heaven's wheel armor and Lucy summoned out cancer.
Natsu and Gray looked at each other and nodded and began to follow after Erigor. "You two just be careful and don't get hurt." Gray yelled over his shoulder with a bit of worry in his voice.
Gray and Natsu ran down the hallway looking everywhere for Erigor, both completely unaware of the two mages following them. After a few minutes of following the hallway, they came to a split in the hall.
"You go that way and I'll head up towards the broadcast room and check there." Gray said as he started to run off.
"Who left you in charge ice breath?" Natsu whined out.
"Listen flame brain, we don't have time to stand around and argue. We need to find Erigor and put a stop to him as soon as we can." Gray replied with a hint of annoyance at Natsu's whining before taking off down one of the hallways.
"No reason to get your panties all twisted." Natsu muttered as he went off in the opposite direction.
(With Erza and Lucy)
Erza stood facing the entire dark guild with Lucy and her celestial crab spirit beside her. She knew she was running low on magic energy due to also running the magic four-wheeler. She knew she would have to make the next attack count or she would be too low on magic to do anything else.
In a burst of light, Erza summoned about twenty swords as they started floating behind her. She raised her hand and pointed it towards the dark guild members. "Dance, My Blades." Erza shouted as the swords flew towards her opponents managing to take out a few of them. Her vision started to blacken as she fell forward unconscious due to lack of magic.
Lucy started to worry a bit more now that Erza was unconscious. That only left her and cancer to face off with about thirty dark guild mages. Lucy and cancer stood over Erza's unconscious body staring down the remaining guild members. A few of the members tried attacking and were either smacked by Lucy's whip or had their heads shaved by cancer which seemed to piss them off more than being attacked. After a few of being smacked around and having their hair shaved, the dark mages decided to use magic and take out the celestial mage and her spirit.
Five mages stepped forward away from the others. A black magic circle appeared in front of them, "Black Lightening." They shouted as lightening shot forth from the magic circles barely missing Lucy and cancer as it hit the ground in front of them. This caused an explosion that sent cancer back to the celestial world and Lucy was sent flying into the wall behind her. The mages had a smirk on each of their faces as they moved to attack her again. She closed her eyes and waited for the pain that was soon to come. She heard an explosion but felt no pain, she slowly opened her eyes to see a black trench coat with orange flames and a head of blond hair.
"Naruto!" Lucy shouted, relieved that someone was there to help.
"Sorry I'm late Lucy. I'll take it from here. Are you ok? Where's Natsu and Gray and what happened to Erza?" Naruto asked with concern evident in his voice.
"I'm fine, just a little sore. Natsu and Gray went after Erigor to try and stop him from playing lullaby. Erza tried fighting these mages even though she was low on magic from driving the magic four-wheeler all the way here and she fell unconscious. Cancer and I tried to fight them off but they are a lot stronger than I am." Lucy explained.
"Take Erza and go evacuate the city. Tell them to get as far away as they can. I'll take care of these dark mages." Naruto stated with a mischievous smirk.
Lucy managed to wake Erza and draped on of Erza's arms over her shoulder and helped her walk as they made their way out of the train station. "You hurt my friends, you hurt my family, and more importantly you hurt the girl I care about. Now I will return the pain tenfold." Growled Naruto. Unknown to him, Lucy had heard every word and couldn't help but blush a lightshade of pink.
(With Gray)
Gray made his way up towards the broadcast room where he figured Erigor would be. To his shock, the broadcast room was completely empty. "What? Empty. If they were going to take over the train station to play lullaby, this should have been the first place Erigor would have come. They must be planning on using lullaby somewhere else." Gray thought silently to himself.
He turned and started to make his way out of the room to continue his search when he was attacked by long, black cables and was knocked into some boxes. Pulling himself the rubble, Gray looked over his opponent. The guy had on a pair of green pants, a white shirt, and a jacket that was tan in color with the arms being a blackish color with a tight hood with tan and black stripes making him look like a pharaoh.
"And who are you?" Gray asked.
"The name's Rayule, dark mage of Eisenwald. Prepare to die fairy." Rayule stated with a sinister smile.
"Urumi!" Rayule shouted as the black bands on his fingers shot out at Gray. Gray managed to dodge the strike as the attack hit the broadcasting equipment destroying it.
"Well that answers my thoughts from earlier. Erigor was never planning on broadcasting lullaby here was he?" Gray asked.
"Of course not, this was just a trap for little flies. Erigor should be done placing the wind wall up around the train station right now." Replied Rayule as his black bands shot out once more this time catching Gray off guard and sending him through a wall. Rayule walked toward Gray and saw what he thought to be an unconscious Gray.
"I guess Erigor was wrong, the little flies aren't that strong at all. Oh well, once he gets to clover town and takes out the guild masters, there won't be anyone who can stop Eisenwald." Rayule laughed as he went to stomp on Gray's head only for a hand to grab his ankle and his body was froze in ice all the way up to his neck.
"Thanks for the information buddy. Now we know where to go to get our revenge on your guild for trying to hurt all our parents. Erigor won't know what hit him once we're done with him, trust me when I say there are guilds a lot more frightening than dark guilds." Gray growled out before he completely froze the dark mage and made his way to warn the others.
(With Natsu a little earlier)
Natsu was running down the hall kicking in doors and breaking down walls looking for Erigor. He still hadn't noticed the wizard following him from the shadows. Natsu kicked in another door and came to an empty room once again. Natsu got annoyed at not being able to find Erigor and didn't notice the attack that came from behind. Natsu was immediately thrown face first into a far wall.
Natsu picked himself up and saw the same dark mage that he had fought with earlier with on the train. "Oi, what the hell was with the cheap shot?" Natsu asked.
"I want a rematch and now's the best time to get it." Kageyama replied with a smirk.
Natsu had a matching smirk on his face as well. "Well if that's all you wanted, all you had to do was ask. I would love to kick your sorry ass a second time." Natsu growled out as he's hand were covered in flames and he charged Kageyama.
"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" Natsu shouted as he swung his flame covered fist at the dark mage. Kageyama ducked under the fist. "Knuckle Shadow." Kageyama said as a large shadow fist came up from his shadow and sent a hard uppercut into Natsu's chin knocking him through the air. Natsu landed on his feet and massaged his chin for a few moments.
"Your magic packs quite a punch." Natsu chuckled as he stood up straight and puffed out his chest. "Fire Dragon's Roar!" Natsu shouted as he brought his hands to his mouth and a magic circle appeared in front of his face. Out of the circle flew a stream of hot flames directly at Kageyama. There was a small explosion and Natsu had a smirk thinking he had won. As the smoke cleared, he saw Kageyama step out from behind a black wall that soon sunk back into his shadow.
"Your attack wasn't even strong enough to get through my guard shadow. What a shame, now to show you a real attack. Shadow Orochi." Soon a large number of snakes rose up out of Kageyama's shadow and began chasing after Natsu. Natsu got bit by a few of the snakes but soon started avoiding the painful bites of the shadow snakes. "You can run all you want little fly, my snakes will follow you to the end of the world."
Natsu jumped a few feet back from the snakes and his hands were covered in flames once again and took on the look of dragon claws. "Fire Dragon's Crushing Fang." Natsu rushed the snakes as he swiped at the snakes with his claws destroying the. Kageyama was surprised to see his strongest attack beaten. Natsu took advantage of the moment and jumped high into the air as a fireball appeared in each hand. He brought them together over his head causing them to merge into one large fireball.
"Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame!" Natsu shouted as he threw the large fireball toward Kageyama. Kageyama saw the attack coming and raised his shadow to defend himself, but the fireball broke through his shadow and hit him dead on making him fall to the ground unable to move.
"Tell me where Erigor is at now." Natsu growled out as he walked over to Kageyama.
"I ain't telling you shit. Erigor can do a lot worse to me than you fairies ever could if I was to give him up." Replied Kageyama. He was them picked up by the collar of his shirt, and was dragged down the hallway. "Where are you taking me?"
"You think there is no one out there worse than Erigor, I'm gonna prove you wrong. I know of people that are a lot scarier than Erigor and one of them just happens to be with us today. Let's see how scary you thank Erigor is after you have had a small chat with Erza." Natsu laughed with a sinister chuckle.
(With Naruto)
Naruto stood staring down what was left of the Eisenwald guild. He wanted to just jump in and wipe them all out but he needed to give Lucy enough time to get Erza away from the building so neither one got caught in the crossfire. After about five minutes of waiting, he decided that he had given them enough time to exit the building.
"You all are going to pay for hurting Lucy and my friends." Naruto said with venom lacing his voice.
"We wouldn't have hurt them that bad blondie. We were just going to knock them out and take them back to the guild hall for some quality time with our members." Chuckled one of the mages.
Hearing this, Naruto decided that he was going to beat the shit out of this entire guild. "Celestial summoning: Ichibi." A bright light filled the room for a few seconds. When the light died down, it revealed a tan, raccoon looking creature about as tall as Naruto.
"You better have a damn good reason for summoning me here you blond bastard." Growled the raccoon.
Naruto let out a small sigh. He knew that the Ichibi always acted like he was high and mighty all the time, and some people that saw his and Naruto's partnership may think they hated each other. Both the raccoon and Naruto had nothing but respect for each other, insulting and calling each other names was just another way of showing it between the two, and only they knew that.
"I don't have time for your shit right now you stupid raccoon. These mages hurt Lucy and the others." Naruto replied.
This caused an instant turn in Shukaku's attitude. He would never admit it out allowed but he liked the blond female celestial mage. Ever since he and his brothers and sisters met Lucy when her and Naruto were younger, they all enjoyed being around Lucy and were very protective over her just like they were of Naruto.
"What's my limit Naruto?" Shukaku asked as he turned back to the dark mages with a sadistic grin spread across his face.
"Do whatever you want, just don't kill them." Naruto replied.
Shukaku nodded as he body turned to sand and he disappeared into the cracks of the floor. He reappeared a few seconds later behind a few of the members. He swiped his claws across one of the mages leaving his screaming in pain on the floor. As another mage turned around, he was met with a very large ball of sand shot out of Shukaku's mouth straight to the face leaving him unconscious. He continued to disappear and reappear all around the mages causing pain and destruction each time.
Naruto stood watching for a few minutes before he decided to join in on causing pain. "Celestial body." Naruto said as he body was covered in a bright gray light. A mage turned to look and Naruto and saw him being covered in magic. A split second later, he was laying on the ground doubled over in pain from a knee to the gut. Naruto then took off in a burst of speed leaving a trail of silver wherever he went.
"Celestial Dragon's Spirit Talons!" Shouted Naruto as the silver light around his hands began to lengthen into sharp claws. As Naruto raced around the room, he left several deep gashes in each of the mages arms, legs, or chest taking them out of the fight. This continued on for about ten minutes with Naruto and Shukaku both causing as much pain and damage as they could without killing any of the mages.
After it was over, Shukaku took one last look around and then with a large smile on his face disappeared in a flash of light. Naruto started to see if he could find one of the mages that were still conscious and ask them about their plans when Lucy ran back inside. "Naruto, you need to see this."
Naruto followed Lucy outside and was surprised to see a giant wall of wind surrounding the entire train station. "Is there a way out?" Naruto asked.
"Not that we could find. We looked all around the thing with no luck of finding an opening." Replied Erza walking up behind Naruto.
Just then Natsu and Gray walked out of the station with Natsu still dragging Kageyama by his shirt. "This guy might be able to tell us how to get out." Natsu said as he threw Kageyama at Erza's feet. "He says that he doesn't think you are as scary as Erigor."
"We'll just have to see about that then won't we?" Erza laughed as she drug Kageyama away from the group and around the corner of the train station. A few seconds later, you could hear the scream of pain and torture from Kageyama.
Gray walked up to the rest of the group. "We need to get to Clover Town. I learned from one of the dark mages that Erigor is planning on using lullaby at the guild masters meeting." Explained Gray. The other three mages had looks of shock on their faces at hearing this.
Just then Erza walked back over carrying an unconscious and bloodied Kageyama. "He didn't know anything. At now he knows there are people scarier than Erigor out there though." Erza laughed.
This time, Happy decided to speak up. "Why don't we dig under the thing with this?" Happy asked as he held up a golden zodiac key.
"How did you get that key?" Lucy asked in surprise.
"After we finished that mission at the Everlue Mansion, Virgo asked me to give you her key. I forgot until just now." Happy replied rubbing the back of his head.
Lucy quickly took the key. "Open, gate of the maiden. Virgo." Lucy said. A woman with pink hair, blue eyes, and shackles on her wrist appeared in a maid outfit in front of Lucy and the others with a bow.
"You called Mistress. How may I of service?" asked Virgo.
"Please don't call me Mistress Virgo, it sounds weird." Lucy replied.
"What about Your Highness or dominatrix?" Virgo asked after seeing Lucy's whip.
Lucy was shocked to be called a dominatrix. Lucy and Virgo went back and forth for a few minutes before Lucy decided to allow Virgo to call her Princess. "Virgo, can you dig us a tunnel under this wind wall?" Lucy asked.
"Of course Princess." Virgo responded with a bow before beginning to spin and dig into the ground. The group of mages followed except for Naruto who opened a celestial gate and passed through it to the other side.
As the mages came up out of the ground from the other side, they were surprised to see Naruto already standing there. "How did you get past the wind wall?" asked Gray.
"Celestial gate. Why?" Naruto asked.
"So your telling me this whole time, you could have just opened a gate and we all could have walked through with no problem?" asked a very annoyed Erza.
Naruto rubbed the back of his head and let out a small chuckle. "Yeah I guess I should have mentioned that." Naruto replied and then his face met the ground thanks to Erza.
"Hey, where'd flame brain go?" Gray asked.
Naruto got up and looked around for Natsu. "Shit, he must have took off with Happy to go after Erigor. I'll go on ahead, you all catch up when you can." Naruto replied.
Lucy was gonna ask how he was planning on catching up with Natsu, but before she got the chance, he was surrounded by a silver light and was gone in a burst of speed. The other mages all climbed into the magic four-wheeler and took off after Naruto.
So there's chapter 4. Hope you enjoyed. I was going to have this chapter and chapter 4 of The Fox and The Flower uploaded this past weekend, but my computer crashed and I lost the save file for these two chapters and had to rewrite them completely. But this one is done and the other story should be updated by this weekend.
Anyway leave a review and tell me how I did.
