Hello my fellow readers, writers, and people who have been enjoying this story so far, I'm back with yet another new chapter. In this chapter, we're going to be covering the events of episodes 5 and 6 so basically the whole lullaby arc will be covered in two parts. Also, I have a bit of a problem while it will be quite a while before I get there I was wondering who do you guys think should get the gate key of Loke (or Leo depending on which name you prefer).
Also, as I'm sure most of you can tell I'm trying out a new form of writing with this story and I was wondering what you all think should I stick with this style for this and future stories or should I go back to having P.O.V of someone or multiple people leave your recommendation down in the comments below please. i am sorry this is later then Friday but i had a friend come over and this frind is all into Xbox gaming so i really didnt have time so again sorry. I can't think of anything else to add so without further ado let's get this show on the road.
"Talking"
"Thought"
"Yelling"
(Magnolia, fairy tail guild hall)
Lucy was standing around near a table where Natsu was mumbling something about needing to get another job while Harry was sitting at the bar having a non-alcoholic drink. After a few moments Lucy went up to the request board and Harry was shortly following her and said "so what job are you thinking of taking" and she said "I have no idea."
He looked at the board and started rambling off some of the jobs "find a magical bracelet, slay volcano demons, read someone's horoscope. That last one is the most surprising because they can get their fortune just by picking up a newspaper." Lucy said "what do you mean" and Harry responded "in the newspaper there's a column that for each of the zodiac signs a person is that tells their fortune."
Noticing the still clueless look on her face Harry picked up a newspaper that was sitting on a nearby table and said "here let me show you" and he started flipping through the paper looking for the section he was talking about. After a moment he said "and of course in this universe there's no such thing as the prediction column."
Lucy said "well at least you know what you're talking about" and she went back over to the request board looking for a job. Natsu came up to her and said "so which job are we taking" and she said "as far as I'm concerned our team is disbanded." Natsu said "why" and Harry added his two cents and said "because for the last job you only needed her because she was a blond."
Natsu said "that's not the only reason we chose you because you're nice" and she just huffed in annoyance and just as she did that Grey chimed in and said "you two might not want to hang around that loser too much. I'm sure that you two would get plenty of request to join teams in the guild" and that was all it took for a fight to break out.
While Harry was looking at the request board completely ignoring the fight going on behind him until someone was running out of the guild hall at top speeds." While holding one of the requests Harry walked up to Lucy and said "so what was that guy's problem." Mira answered and said "Loke is scared of celestial wizards rumor is that he got in a relationship with one but it didn't work out."
As Harry was about to respond to what Mira said Loke came running back into the hall and said "I've got some bad news Ezra's on her way back here." That one sentence was all that it took to have the guild hall suddenly stop all activity and after a few moments a tall redhead wearing a metal chest plate with some symbol on it, a dark blue skirt that went down to her knees, and knee high-high heel boots walked into the guild hall carrying what looked like a horn from a flower monster."
Mira was the first to speak up and said "so how did the job go Erza" and she said "it went well thanks where is master Makarov" and Mira said "he's at conference" and Erza said "I see. Well I was going to consult him about this but since he's not here it doesn't matter Natsu Grey" she turned toward the fire and ice wizards.
To the surprise of Harry, the two had an arm thrown around each other's shoulder and it looked like they were doing a little dance and they said at the same time "yes." Erza said "I heard something in a bar on the way back to the guild however I'll explain to you tomorrow when we meet up at the train station" and they both said "okay" and she walked out carrying the horn looking thing that she brought back with her.
After that encounter Harry walked back over to the bar to finish his drink and shortly after he sat back down Lucy sat beside them. Just as they were about to start a conversation Mira said "I have a request for the both of you" and Harry responded "what would that be" and Mira said "I would like the two of you to go on this mission as well" and Lucy said "why us."
Mira responded by saying "because when Erza's not looking Natsu and grey are going to be at each other's throats so I would like if you two were going along to keep them in check when Erza can't. they both agreed and then headed toward where they lived together so they could mentally prepare themselves for having to keep Grey and Natsu from fighting.
(the next day, Magnolia train station)
Lucy, Harry, and Happy were sitting on one of the benches waiting for their train and for Erza to arrive while Natsu and Grey had gotten into another fight. Harry said "weren't we asked to come on this quest to stop this exact thing" and Lucy responded "I feel that we should just pretend we don't know them." Harry noticed that she was holding the quivering snowman thing that she said was a dog that she named Plue.
He then said "okay I know I've asked this before but how is Plue a dog I mean in my universe no dog has a carrot for a nose." Lucy said "he's a celestial spirit so it would make sense he's not the same as other dogs" and he responded "that's like when Happy is asked why he's blue and he says it's because he's a cat."
Happy said in a somewhat offended tone "well it's true" and Harry just opened up a compartment in his backpack and pulled out a raw fish and handed it to Happy and that instantly got him to shut up. Lucy said "how did you do that" and Harry replied "according to the clerk from the shop I got this from all I have to do is imagine what I want to be in this compartment and it becomes reality."
Just as Lucy was about to respond Erza walked up beside them and said "hope you haven't been waiting long and Lucy said "not at all." She then said "so if you don't mind me asking why are you here" and Lucy said "well Mira asked Harry and myself to accompany Natsu, Grey, and you on this mission to gain experience hope that's okay" and Erza said "the more the merrier.
So, you're the one who managed to slay a hormonal mountain Vulcan with just your pinky finger" and Lucy said "that may be just a bit exaggerated." Erza then turned to Harry and said "from what I've heard you're the doppelganger of Harrison who died along with Lisanna on a mission that they went on with Mira and Elfman."
He nodded and said "yep that's me" and Harry noticed that every once so often during their conversation Erza was glancing back toward Natsu and Grey and when she did so they instantly stopped fighting and when she turned her head back to us they went right back to fighting.
Natsu said "you may want me to join in on this mission however I have a demand" and Grey whispered "shut up flame for brains" and Erza said "well let's hear it." He smirked and said "once we get back to the guild I want a rematch since I've gotten stronger than I was when we first fought" and Erza seemed like she was going to pound his face in for making a demand before she said "Very well." Natsu shouted out "Oh yeah I'm all fired up" but once they got on the train it was a completely different story when Natsu instantly become motion sick again.
When Erza noticed this, she said "why don't you come sit by me" and Lucy said quietly "I guess you want me to move" and she got up while Natsu did the same and he sat by Erza and Lucy sat by Harry. Harry said "so I only got the gist of this mission that we're on what's going on here" and Erza said "in that bar that I stopped in I heard the name of a dark guild.
Apparently, they were trying to break the seal on a cursed magic item called Lullaby" and Harry said "like the thing that parents sing their kids to help them fall asleep at night." Erza said "those exist in this world but the Lullaby I overheard of is death magic in the form of a flute so anyone who hears its song will die." Harry said "so this dark guild you think their planning on killing people with this flute" and Erza replied "it's almost certain that they are planning on doing that.
You see since you're not from this world dark guilds only accept jobs that are considered against the law and the strongest person in that guild Erigor goes by the name of reaper since the only jobs he accepts are assassination jobs." Harry replied "so he wants that flute for the purpose of killing people and we have to stop him" and Erza said "yes" and Harry replied "simple enough."
Erza said "so I was wondering what type of magic do you practice" and he replied "what you know as the modified version of mimic magic that requires skin on skin contact." She said "if in that case I wonder if you were to copy my magic which is requipping my armor and weapons you would be able to have access to my pocket dimension where my weapons and armor are stored or if you would have to start a collection yourself."
Harry replied "from what I understand since we would be sharing the magical energy that we would be able to share the same pocket dimension as you called it." She said "it would make sense we should test that out after this whole esienwald annoyance if anything is over with." Just as we were walking away from the train she got a look of realization on her face and paled and said "I think we left Natsu on the train and with his motion sickness-."
She trailed off and then bowed slightly and said "I wish for one of you to hit me for my insolence and Grey stepped forward but Harry grabbed him by his shoulder and dragged him away from Erza. After a few moments she stood up straight again and walked around the station and then pulled a lever that had a sign above it that read "emergency shut off switch."
(with Natsu)
Natsu was laying down over two seats when someone came up from behind him and said "are you okay buddy" and Natsu groaned out "I've been better" and the person looked to his shoulder where his fairy tail mark was. He said "so you're from an official guild huh" and Natsu groaned again and obviously the person took that as a yes because he continued "I'm sure that you official guilds get all the attractive girls joining.
However, an attractive girl wouldn't even set foot in our guild in fact the only women in our guild aren't all that attractive so we just leave them alone." He then slammed his foot into Natsu's face and said "you know what we from esienwald call you fairies we call you flies because all you guys are is an annoyance to us."
It was then that the train stopped suddenly and that sent the person from esienwald flying backward since he was already somewhat off-balance from being on one foot and as he fell backward a strange flute with an end in the shape of a skull with three eyes fell out from his long coat. He said "shit you weren't supposed to see that" and Natsu said "you know while I was dealing with my motion sickness I was able to follow what you were saying and if there's one thing that I hate in the world it's someone who talked down about fairy tail.
So prepare to face your punishment for badmouthing fairy tail" and Natsu the ignited his fists and was about to charge when a female voice appeared from the intercom "we are sorry for the inconvenience of this stop it was a false alarm" and Natsu said "crap well I got to go" and he ran past the person from esienwald and at the same time punched him in the face which caused an explosion which created a way out for him.
He jumped out of the wall that had a hole in it and just as he did the train started moving again and closely behind it he saw a magic mobile. In the driver seat was Harry wearing the coupling and steering while Erza was sitting in the passenger seat up front while Lucy, and Happy were in the back while Grey was riding on top of the roof. Natsu yelled "what's the big idea for leaving me on the train" and Erza jumped off the passenger seat and said "if you wish you may punch me for that."
Natsu said "eh don't worry about it" and she said "at least you're okay now" and he said "didn't you say we were after the guild esienwald or something." Erza said "yes why" and he said "because there was this one guy on the train who was bragging about how good esienwald is or some shit like that and he had this weird flute."
Erza said "what was the shape of the flute" and Natsu said "had a skull with three eyes on it" and Erza reared her hand back and slapped him in the back of his head and shouted "you idiot that's what we're trying to get from them." Natsu yelled back "Why did you hit me" and before a full-blown fight could break out Harry interjected "instead of standing here fighting with each other what do you say we go fight esienwald" and Erza said "of course let's go."
She climbed back onto the passenger seat and Natsu hesitantly got in the back and just as it started moving he said "wait this is Erza's personal magic mobile why the heck is Harry driving. He said "because mimicking the magic of another is so basic that it's barely draining at all and when I mimic someone's magic I gain their level of power as well so I can waste my magic all day if I wanted to without too much fatigue."
After about an hour of driving the magic mobile the group of 5 plus Happy had reached the train station where the train carrying the member of Esienwald had gone to. Just as we reached there Erza jumped off and ran up to a guard and said "what's going on here" and before he could respond she headbutted him and he fell over.
She ran up to another guard and asked the same question before he could respond she kneed him where the sun don't shine. She ran up to another guard and asked the same and he responded "there's a dark guild that has taken over the station. She said "what measures have you taken against them as of now" and he said "we've sent in a military unit."
She said "well that's a military unit that's dead if Esienwald was merciful to them" and the 5 of us started heading in and the guard said "what could you five do" and Erza said "we can take them." Just as we got in the whole guild started doing catcalls at Lucy and Erza and two of the members were heading deeper into the station and Erza said "Grey, Natsu and Harry go after them" and they all nodded and ran off after them."
After a few minutes of running the three of us came to a pathway with two different ways to go and Harry said "okay Natsu and I will go left you go right Grey" and they both said "sure" and we ran off that way." Just as Natsu burst into a room someone said "I was wondering if I would be fighting you again fly" and Natsu said "I still have to pay you back for the train so now we go head to head."
Harry said "let's me take this guy I've wanted to try out a move with you fire magic." and I touched his shoulder and with the power Harry borrowed of his he ignited my fists and started shooting multiple blasts from my hand all of them missing him when he was dodging. He stopped dodging and said "Are you even trying to hit me" and Harry said "no" and he said "what the hell do you mean no" and he looked around and saw that he was surrounded by small balls of fire.
A look of realization dawned on his face and I said "it's over for you hellzone grenade" and swung my arms closer together and sent the small balls of fire at the guy and he was defeated. Natsu and Harry searched his person and he didn't have the flute on him and Harry said "Are you sure this was the guy from the train" and Natsu said "positive."
Harry responded "well then he must have handed it off to the person called reaper already let's head back and see if there's anything we can do." They ran back the way they came from and saw the reaper known as Erigor floating above the station and Harry said to Natsu "give me a boost" and Natsu followed his eye sight to where Erigor was floating and he said "on it" and grabbed me by the arms and threw me up at Erigor.
My hand made contact with his skin but wanting to make it seem that I was only trying to grab him I kept a hold on his arm and he threw me off and I landed on the ground quite hard. Right in front of me after I got up was a swirling wall of wind and after some gloating about how he had already won Erigor took off and Erza ran toward the wall and tried to force her arm through only to have it shred up the armored gauntlet around her arm and caused some minor cuts on her lower arm and hand.
Lucy said "Harry absorb some of my power and summon Virgo" and he said "no need" and she said "why is that" and He said "because I've absorbed the powers of Erigor and the knowledge of how to drop this barrier." He took a stance in front of the barrier and muttered under his breath for a moment and the wall of wind went down.
He glided up into the air and said "catch up when you can" and he took off in the direction of where Erigor was heading. After a few minutes he caught up and slammed Erigor into the ground and when he got up he said "how did you escape the wind wall." Harry responded "remember how I grabbed onto you to supposedly stop you" and he nodded and Harry said "that was just a ploy all I was after was the ability to mimic your magic."
He said "so you managed to drop the wind wall and Harry nodded and Erigor said "it would have been better for you if you have just stayed in there because now instead of being safe I will be killing you slowly you fly." Harry said "bring it on" and they charged at each other and knocked each other back at the same time to the point where they seemed evenly matched.
Okay yet another chapter done in the next chapter we're going to be having the fight that's supposed to be between Natsu and Erigor but in this story, will be Harry and eventually Natsu against Erigor. While I have watched the entirety of season 1-6 of the anime I have decided to start reading the manga but I will keep this story up.
So basically, the next chapter will be following the 7th, 8th, and if I'm feeling up to it the 9th episodes of the anime. Until next time this is Diamondholder signing off.
