Chapter 4
"talk" 'think' "spells" "dragon/demon speech" 'dragon/demon thoughts'
"Yes, I suppose an explanation is in order." Erza sighed, "Well let's hear it." Gray prodded. She glared momentarily at him before she spoke, "On my last job I heard something very concerning, a dark guild Eisenwald has acquired some kind of powerful spell." "Eisenwald?" Lucy interjected, "Yes, they are a very strong dark guild, especially with their leader, he only accepts assassination jobs, that's why they were kicked out of the legal guilds, but they kept accepting assassinations, that's why their leader is called The Reaper, Erigor The Reaper." Knight visibly flinched at Erigor's name, no one caught it though. "The Reaper!" Lucy started to sweat, "Lushi is getting slimy." Happy said, "IT'S SWEAT YOU STUPID CAT!" she yelled. Erza also explained the weapon they were using, something called Lullaby, Knight barely paid attention, just thinking, 'Erigor, that bastard.'
Their stop:
Knight got stuck trying to drag Natsu off the train, 'What the hell, how does that fucking cat carry him?' he thought angrily, dragging Natsu off the bench. He hit the ground with an "Uff!" and apparently Knight took too long. "Ladies and gentlemen, we are now departing for Onibasha station now, thank you for riding!" "Oh, you've got to be fucking kidding me!" Knight yelled angrily, then the train jerked and started moving, 'Aw here comes the headache.' Knight thought sitting down. "What do we have here?" someone questioned, "Some Fairy Tail wizards? You guys are lucky, being in a legal guild." he said sitting across from Knight. The guy had black hair in a spikey pineapple pony tail, a white coat and pants, black shoes and shirt. "Fairy Tail is the best legal guild there is right? I hear the ladies there are lovely and beautiful." he started talking about the girls in Fairy Tail. 'If this punk says one more dirty comment, I'm gonna blow his fucking head off!' Knight thought with a scowl as he nursed his headache, at this point Natsu was able to join him on the bench. Out of nowhere the guy shoved his foot in Knight's face, "YOU FAIRY FLIES THINK YOUR ALL HIGH AND MIGHTY IN YOUR LEGAL GUILD, WHEN EISENWALD CARRIES OUT OUR PLAN, YOU'LL ALL BOW TO US!" he yelled. Just then the train abruptly stopped, the guy fell over and Knight along with Natsu jumped up. Knight pulled his pistol and Natsu burst into flames, "YOUR FATE WAS SEALED ONCE THIS TRAIN STOPPED!" Natsu yelled, Knight started firing at the guy as Natsu hit him "FIRE DRAGON'S WING ATTACK!" the whole train car roof exploded as the guy fell on his ass, a few burn marks and holes in his clothes from their attacks. A weird three eyed skull flute fell from his jacket, "Shit you saw it!" he shouted scooping it up and putting it away, "We are sorry for the difficulties, we will be continuing shortly, thank you for your patience." "OH HELL NO, I'M NOT RIDING THIS DEATH TRAP ANY LONGER!" Natsu screamed, launching out a window. Knight followed, holstering his gun and spreading his dragon wings, caught Natsu before he hit a magic car Erza was driving as she pulled it to a stop. Knight hovered over them as Natsu jumped to the ground and everyone piled out, "Since when do you have wings?" Natsu asked, "Since I was taught my magic." Knight said smiling as he flapped his wings every so often to stay afloat on the air. "Natsu, if Knight didn't catch you, you could have gotten hurt, you know that right!" Erza shouted as she bonked Natsu on the head, "Erza, give him a break, you left him on the train anyway." Knight waved her off, "Oh, you're right, I apologize Natsu, please hit me for my insolence." she bowed, "No I-I'm good." Natsu then turned to Knight, "Those wings…" "Ah, yea you were "asleep" when I explained my magic, I'm like you Natsu, a dragon slayer." Natsu went wide eyed, he was about to shout something, but Knight stopped him, "No, I don't know where your dragon is, I'm sorry." Natsu looked down in gloom, "Ok." "Now, what happened on the train to make it explode?" Erza spoke up. "Oh some jackass attacked us on the train, he had some weird flute with him, a three eyed skull. Creepy!" Knight nodded in agreement with Natsu, "Yea he said he was a part of Eisenwald, but before I could incapacitate him, Natsu jumped out the fucking window." Erza got angry, "YOU LET HIM GET AWAY, YOU-" "SHUT UP!" Knight yelled interrupting her outburst, she immediately calmed down and looked down a little as Knight explained, "We can just follow the train and catch them, Natsu you wanna fly with me? These wings won't ware out like Happy's, sorry Happy." "It's ok." Happy said, Natsu answered him "Yea, I won't get sick in that car!" Knight smiled and picked him up with a left arm around him, "Come on, follow me!" the rest got in the car and Erza peeled out after Knight as he flew off.
Eisenwald train ambush:
"YOU LET THEM SEE LULLABY, YOU FUCKING DUMBASS!" Erigor yelled at Kageyama, the guy with the Lullaby flute who got off the busted train car and told Erigor what happened. Erigor wore black pants with no shirt but a scarf around his neck that went down his back, a purple sash around his waist that went over the sides of his pants, he had purple tattoos up both sides of his front and two under each eye, he had weird blown over white hair and carried a big scary looking scythe. "But Erigor, they don't know our plans." Kageyama pleaded with him, "That's why you're alive you fool. Those flies won't know what happened, now to Onibasha." Erigor said and all his goons got on the "commandeered" train.
Knight and friends arrive at Onibasha station:
'The hell?' Knight thought when he saw a crowd of people outside the station as he set down and folded his wings, setting Natsu down next to Erza and the others who pulled up. "Come on, let's see what's happening." she ordered and everyone followed, she went through the crowd telling people they were here to help, when she got to the front though she started questioning the security guards. "What happened here?" "Huh, who-" poor guy was head-butted for not answering fast enough, she did that to several others before Knight put a hand on her shoulder on the last guy, shaking his head at her look he pulled his shotgun from his back, flicked the safety off and pointed the barrel at his head. "What's going on, answer before I pull the trigger." "WAIT, WAIT some dark mages attacked, the military went in a few minutes ago and haven't come out!" the guard yelled. "Good boy." Knight dropped the gun to his side before turning to everyone, "CITIZENS GO BACK IN YOUR HOUSES SO YOU DON'T GET CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE!" he yelled and everyone scrambled to get inside. Erza gave him a weird look and looked as though she was about object, "For precaution." he stated, she nodded and called everyone else, "Let's go inside!" they all darted in the station building.
In the station:
Once they got to the boarding area they skidded to a stop seeing all of Eisenwald staring them down, Erigor floating over them. Knight saw red, "ERIGOR YOU BASTARD!" he roared and fired all the shells in his shot gun, holstering it and fired a whole clip from his pistol. Erigor blocked them with a swing of his scythe, "HAHAHA ITS THE LITTLE DRAGON THAT THOUGHT HE COULD BEAT ME!" Erigor laughed. "SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH, YOU COCK SUCKER!" Knight's magic erupted around him, only showing his scary ass silver eyes. His voice became eerily calm and demonic "You thought you could get away with back stabbing me, now I'm here to DESTROY YOU!" he roared as his magic calmed a little so he could be seen. He vanished and appeared in front of Erigor's goons, "FUCK OFF, NIGHT DRAGON'S ROAR!" he cocked his head back as a magic circle appeared in front of him, he unleashed a massive stream of magic from his mouth, through the circle, and it wiped out more that half of the goons. "HOLY SHIT, ERIGOR THAT'S BLACKHAWK!" one yelled, "Damn right, Night Dragon's Wing Attack!" Knight's magic flowed around his arms as he lashed out with it and knocked down the rest, only Kageyama was left. "Humph, you might be pretty strong, but don't forget about me! Knuckle Shadow!" his shadow shot forth as fists attempting to hit Knight, "Fuck you." Knight caught all the fists and ate them. "Wha-what h-how, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU?!" Kageyama yelled. "A pissed off dragon, Night Dragon's Gleaming Fist!" Knight punched him into a wall, he looked around and noticed a missing person "Where's Erigor?" *SNIFF* *SNIFF* "Huh, he's…..everywhere?" Knight turned to see his friends very shocked. "What?" "Y-you just wiped out a whole guild!" Lucy exclaimed, "Yea so, I've done it before." Knight stated plainly. "W-well we've got to find Erigor!" Erza said seemingly not as surprised by how many goons Knight decimated but kept a little distance from him since he still had a scowl on his face. When they tried to leave there was a giant wind wall in front of them, they heard Erigor, "HAHA, YOU'LL NEVER ESCAPE MY WIND WALL AND I'LL DESTROY YOUR STUPID GUILD MASTERS! HAHAHAHA!" his laughter faded. "NO, WE'VE GOT TO HELP GRAMPS!" Natsu yelled as he slammed himself into the wall multiple times before Lucy caught him. "Grrr, WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS BULLSHIT, MOVE!" Knight screamed as everyone gave him room. He walked up to the wind wall and put his right hand up to it, "Night Dragon's Secret Art…." A magic circle appeared in front of his hand, "Spellbreak!" the wind barrier exploded outward and vanished, Lucy gaped, "Holy crap." "I'm going after Erigor, catch up when you can." Knight sprouted his wings and took off, Erza watched him fly off, 'Be safe, Knight.' "Alright everyone let's go!" she ordered.
With Erigor:
"Hehehe." Erigor laughed as he floated over a massive canyon with a railroad track in the middle, "Those guild masters won't know what hit them." "HEY ERIGOR" Knight's voice boomed from behind, Erigor had time to turn his head before, "NIGHT DRAGON'S TALON!" Knight's magic coated foot slammed into Erigor's face, he crashed into the track. "Uhg, lucky hit, but it won't happen again." Erigor said, recovering with a bruised face as he flew up to Knight's height. "Wind Slash" Erigor fired off a few blades of wind from his scythe that Knight flipped and swerved to dodge as he flew at Erigor, "Night Dragon's Meteorite Impact!" a large ball of magic swirled around Knight's right fist as he slammed it into Erigor and it blew up. Erigor appeared through the haze, slashing away at Knight, he dodged, "Night Dragon's Star Flare" he put his hands together and fired out a bolt of light, hitting Erigor in the face. "GRRAAA, YOU LITTLE SHIT!" he screamed, "Wind Mail" he became enveloped in wind, "HAHAHA YOU'LL NEVER TEAR THROUGH THIS WIND MAIL, ERMA BAREM!" Erigor unleashed one of his strongest spells, "Humph, Night Dragon's Secret Art, Spellbreak!" the giant ass tornado collided with Knight's magic circle and vanished, along with Erigor's Wind Mail. "What," Erigor was cut off by Knight's magic covered knee in his gut, "Night Dragon's Starlight Smash!" Knight grabbed him and launched them at high speeds toward the ground, magic surrounding them, "NIGHT DRAGON'S FALLING METEOR!" Knight let go at the last second, crushing him into the train track. Knight was not expecting Erigor's scythe to be at his throat when he landed, "HAHA, YOU GOT TOO COCKY, BITCH!" "HEY ERIGOR!" a different voice screamed, Erigor looked up to be met with a flaming foot to the jaw, "FIRE DRAGON'S TALON!" Natsu landed in front of Knight, "You OK?" Knight nodded. "Yea I owe ya one, how bout I let you have at him?" Natsu grinned at Knight's offer "Hell yea!" he launched himself at Erigor. Knight noticed Happy laying on the track next to him, "Hey you OK?" he asked crouching next to Happy, "I'm ok, just out of magic." Happy looked sad, "Hey it's ok, you did your part, and I'll help Natsu if he gets in a pinch alright?" "Yea, thanks Knight!" Knight smiled and stood, putting his wings away to watch the fight. "HRAAA!" Natsu yelled hitting Erigor with a flaming wing attack, Erigor recovered and threw Natsu off the bridge into the canyon. "Natsu!" Happy yelled, trying to fly off and catch his friend, he was stopped by Knight's hand "Watch." he said plainly. Erigor turned to Knight, "HAHAHAH, NOT GONNA HELP YOUR STUPID FRIEND? HAHAHA I KNEW YOU FL-" his rant was cut off by Natsu's ear piecing roar and a massive column of flames shooting out of the canyon, morphing into an arm and flinging Natsu back up onto the track. "What the hell are you, people, or monsters?!" Erigor said, freaked out. Knight and Natsu smirked at each other, having the same idea, "No," Natsu started lighting his right fist aflame, "We're dragon slayers." Knight finished, coating his right fist in magic, "NIGHT DRAGON'S….." "FIRE DRAGON'S…" they dashed forward, fists cocked, "GLEAMING FIST!" "IRON FIST!" they both punched Erigor in the face, dropping him to the track, as that weird ass flute from earlier fell off him. Knight and Natsu shared a high-five in celebration, Knight noticed the flute and picked it up, "Is this Lullaby? Huh, figured it'd be bigger." Erza and the others pulled up, "Knight, Natsu, Happy!" "Oh, hey Erza, we beat Erigor." Natsu answered, "Happy's tired though, he carried Natsu all the way here." Knight said picking up Happy and giving him to Natsu, "And I got this weird-ass flute from Erigor." he said smiling and showing it to Erza, "That's Lullaby, good we'll turn it into the council once we check on Master Makarov and the others. Come on." They piled into the car while Knight spread his wings and grabbed Natsu and Happy, taking off after them.
Clover:
Master Makarov was leaving the meeting when Erza, Gray, and Lucy pulled up in a magic car as Knight landed with Natsu and Happy near-by and put his wings away. "What's going on….. And since when could you fly?" he asked Knight, "Save that for later, we took out Eisenwald, and got their weird ass dark flute….thing Lullaby!" Knight exclaimed, showing Makarov the flute. "Good work my children, I'm proud of you all, we should get that to the magic council immediately though." "Yea le-" Knight was cut off as a booming voice came from the flute, "I'M GETTING TIRED OF YOU PESKY HUMANS, I'M GOING TO FEAST ON YOUR SOULS!" Knight chucked the thing a hundred yards as it let off a bright light and transformed into a massive….. tree monster? Everyone tilted their heads to gawk at the thing before springing into action, "WE WILL NOT LET YOU HURT ANYONE, DEMON!" Erza yelled as she changed her armor, Natsu burst into flames, Gray got into his ice make stance, Lucy kept gawking, and Knight… disappeared. "HEY ASS FACE!" his voice boomed from above, "Huh?" Lullaby looked up from fighting the others, "NIGHT DRAGON'S METEORITE IMPACT!" Lullaby got a ball of Knight's magic to the face, exploding. "GHAAAAAAAAAA!" it roared in pain, "I'LL KILL YOU WITH MY SONG YOU PESKY FLIES! HUAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" *Whistle* "WHAT WHY DID MY-GUHAAA!" Knight hit it in the face again with a fist. "Shadupp asshole! Night Dragon's Roar!" he hit it in the face with a stream of his magic swirling from his mouth, "FIRE DRAGON'S ROAR!" Natsu lit a part of it on fire, "Ice-Make, Saucer!" Gray hit it with a spinning ice disk, "Dance My Swords!" Erza slashed the shit out of it. "GRRRAAA, EAT THIS!" Lullaby fired a dark magic shot at Knight, "Dumbass." it hit Knight straight on, "HAHAHA-HUH?" *SLURP* *MUNCH* *SLURP* "Ahh, that was a hefty meal." Knight ate the whole dark magic shot, "WHAT ARE YOU, A MONSTER?" "Look who's talking, come on Natsu!" "Alright let's finish this!" Natsu responded and started chanting his spell. "With flames in my left hand, and flames in my right hand…." Knight did the same, "With starlight in my left hand, and shadows in my right hand….." he had light magic in one hand and dark magic in the other, they continued, "Put them together and you get…." they both got above Lullaby, "FIRE DRAGON'S BRILLIANT FLAME!" "NIGHT DRAGON'S SHOOTING STAR!" Natsu launched a ball of fire and Knight launched a ball of his magic, they obliterated Lullaby, leaving a cracked flute in a massive ass crater. "Good job kids, but YOU OVER DID IT!" one of the other guild masters yelled and started chasing them after they tried to celebrate, "RUN!" Makarov yelled and they all ran or in Natsu and Knight's case, flew away.
Magnolia:
Team Natsu and Makarov made it back to Magnolia late at night, they all split up except that Knight caught Erza before she could go home, "Hey uh, I just wanted to apologize for yelling at you and the others back there, I just had a grudge on Erigor and was venting my anger on the wrong people, again sorry." he said before turning to leave. A gauntleted hand on his wrist stopped him though, "Hey it's ok, I'm not upset, neither is anyone else, things happen, it's okay." she swung him around and gave him a hug, actually not smashing his skull on her armor, but with her arms around his waist. He stiffened a little before relaxing and putting his arms around her shoulders, "Thanks." he whispered, and sniffed the top of her head, which was right under his chin, 'Strawberries and vanilla. I'll remember that.' he smiled as she let go and backed off, a small blush on her cheeks, "No problem, goodnight." She spun on her heel and left in a hurry, leaving a slightly confused Knight, 'The hell?' he shook his head and went to go to bed.
