Ruby and Yang were walking on the streets of Bloom. They didn't have much luck finding Lullaby and nobody had seen anything. Ruby sighed.

"Are we even sure Lullaby is still in this town?" Ruby asked bored.

"We have to find a lead somewhere in this town. There just has to be one." Yang said trying to sound motivational. Suddenly a crowd of people came running in their direction. They ran straight past the duo and anybody else on the streets. Ruby and Yang noticed their panicked expressions. Yang stopped a man simply by placing her hand on his shoulder. "What's going on?!" Yang asked.

"A bunch of people instantaneously died at the train station!" The man said frightened. Yang let him go and he continued running. The sisters glanced at each other.

"Go ahead." Yang said. Ruby nodded and started running towards the train station. Yang did so as well but didn't have the super speed Ruby did. Nonetheless, they both were heading to the same destination


Darkness was all that Lucy could see. She slowly opened her eyes and looked around. Lullaby was still standing in front of her. She was inside Horologium. Lucy smiled. Her smile quickly faded as she noticed the dozens of bodies lying around. Everybody had died. To make matters worse, they started turning into ash. This angered Lucy.

"Thanks Horologium, she said." Horologium repeated Lucy. He then started glowing and faded away. Lucy fell onto the ground. Why did Horologium fade away like that? It didn't matter. Lucy had to stop Lullaby. She stood up and faced Lullaby.

"So you're a Celestial Spirit user." Lullaby said intrigued.

"Indeed I am. And I am going to defeat YOU!" Lucy said angrily. She grabbed a key and stuck it into the ground. "OPEN THE GATE OF THE GOLDEN BULL; TAURUS!" Lucy yelled. They key glowed and Taurus was summoned.

"I will do anything for my totally hot owner!" Taurus said. Lucy face palmed.

"Just slice him up!" Lucy ordered. Taurus did as he was told and charged at Lullaby. Taurus raised his axe and prepared to slice Lullaby in half. Lullaby seemed bored and directed a screech at Taurus. Taurus was blown away and hit a wall. He then started glowing and faded away similarly to what happened to Horologium. Lucy's jaw dropped. "Did you… did you kill him?" Lucy asked afraid of the worst. Lullaby grinned.

"Unfortunately I can't kill Celestial spirits. I did however render him useful for the next following two weeks. The same thing happened to your clock friend." Lullaby said. Lucy sighed in relief. Taurus wasn't dead. She still couldn't forgive Lullaby though. "Oh and believe me when I say they will be in pain for those two weeks." Lullaby said with a grin. Lucy gritted her teeth. How dare he hurt her friends. She prepared to summon another spirit but they would likely suffer the same consequences as Taurus and Horologium. Lucy sighed and put her keys back.

"So you've realized that you're completely useless against me." Lullaby stated arrogantly. Lucy was only getting more and more angry. Jaune and the others were still out there. If only she could stall time then maybe they could come help her out.

"Why are you here at the train station?" Lucy asked.

"I'm planning to kill everybody in the town using the intercom." Lullaby said. "Then I'll move to the next town and do the same until not a living soul is left on this planet."

"For what reason?" Lucy asked.

"It's the purpose of my life. The dark wizard Zeref created me and many other demons to cause havoc on this planet. So that is what I will do" Lullaby explained.

"What about when everybody's dead? What will you do then? Alone on this planet seems like a sad life to live." Lucy said.

"Zeref will still be here." Lullaby said. Lucy was about to say more but Lullaby beat her to it. "I know you're stalling but I do want to see what happens next. I may not be immortal but I could kill anyone in an instant. There is no way to defeat me." Lullaby said. Lucy was taken aback. She had a hard time reading him.

"We don't want to defeat you." An unfamiliar voice said. Lucy and Lullaby turned to where the voice came from. The entirety of the Eisenwald guild was standing in front of the entrance. The man who had spoken was their leader Erigor who was floating in the midair on his scythe.

"And who might you be?" Lullaby asked curiously.

"My name is Erigor, master of the Eisenwald guild. I too want to kill people. Just more… important people." Erigor said.

"Everybody's time will come soon. Including yours." Lullaby said.

"But why can't the people in power, the guild masters who are all gathered at the same place currently, go first? That would cause a lot more havoc." Erigor said.

"And after that you will try to betray me. I'm no fool Erigor. Havoc will be caused in any way, shape or form. As long as large groups of people die within an instant, word will get out and people will freak. I cannot wait to see their faces." Lullaby said

"I guess we'll have to take you by force then." Erigor said.

"I guess I'll have to kill all of you right now then." Lullaby said sinisterly. He opened his mouth and screeched. Lucy covered her ears but suddenly she was outside of the train station, far out of reach from Lullaby's screech. Next to her stood Ruby.

"Ruby?" Lucy said surprised.

"I'm here. And so is Yang." Ruby said. Yang came running towards them. She was panting. "You finally arrived." Ruby said excitedly.

"Lullaby and Eisenwald are inside. Lullaby wants to kill everyone while Eisenwald wants to kill the entirety of Eisenwald could be dead, unless they evaded Lullaby's screech as well. We have to stop all of them." Lucy said. Ruby nodded.

"Let's do this." Ruby said determined.


The three girls entered the train station. A bunch of weaker Eisenwald members were standing in the main area.

"Where is Lullaby?!" Lucy asked.

"Our friend Karacka made us phase through the ground so we could evade Lullaby's screech. Lullaby then ran. Our top wizards are now searching for him." One of the goons said.

"You sure must be confident to tell us everything so freely." Yang said.

"What can three girls do against an army?" The same goon said arrogantly. Yang grinned and cracked her knuckles.

"Ladies, I'll take care of them. You guys go find Lullaby." Yang said confidently.

"You ALONE?" Lucy asked surprised. Ruby nudged Lucy.

"Don't worry, she can do it. I know she can." Ruby said. Lucy trusted the sisters.

"Okay then." Lucy said. Ruby sped off in one direction while Lucy ran off into the other.

"LITTLE DRAGON FIRE!" Yang shouted. She then send a huge wall of fire towards the small army of goons. They all yelled and tried to get out of the way. "Fire fist!" Yang yelled as her fist was engulfed in flames and she punched a random goon. "Kick of flames!' Yang then yelled as her foot was now engulfed in flames and she kicked another goon. This process continued. A yellow magic circle then suddenly opened up behind her without her knowing. Karacka rose from it and wrapped his arms around her waist. Yang couldn't move. "Let go off me you creep!" Yang said. His grip was too strong. Yang struggled to get away but couldn't.

"Xander would you mind ending her for me?" Karacka asked. The Eisenwald member named Xander grabbed a knife and approached Yang. Yang gave the man a death glare. As she blinked her violet eyes turned red. Xander suddenly caught fire. Xander screamed and ran around, trying to put out the flame. Karacka rolled his eyes at this. "Fine, I'll do it myself." Karacka said. He made sure his grip on Yang was tight enough for her not to be able to escape and used one of his arm to retrieve his knife out of his pocket. He then stabbed her in the back while she bit his arm. They both screamed. Yang fell to the ground while Karacka clutched his arm.

"You bitch!" Karacka yelled. Yang couldn't move. He tried ignoring the pain in his arm and raised his foot. He was about kick the knife in deeper but somebody punched him across the face. Karacka was send flying against some of his comrades. Yang turned her head as much as she could and saw that her dad was standing besides her.

"Hey Yang." Taiyang said. "This might hurt a little." He said. He then clutched the knife and pulled it out of her back. Yang yelped.

"Thanks dad." Yang said with a smile before passing out. Taiyang returned the smile. He then glared at the small remaining fraction of Eisenwald wizards.

"You're going down."


Ruby had already searched half of the train station and hadn't run into anybody yet. She had stopped paying attention which wasn't the brightest thing to do ash she ran straight into a floating man. She stumbled backwards and fell on her butt while the man remained floating in the air. He turned to her.

"And who might you be?" The man asked. Ruby noticed that Erigor had a scythe.

"YOU HAVE A SCYTHE!" Ruby said excitedly. Erigor raised his eyebrow.

"So?" the man asked.

"I LOVE scythes." Ruby said. "Can I touch it?" Ruby asked. The man grinned.

"Sure." the man said. Ruby was about to touch it but the man then attempted to slice her in half. Fortunately Ruby had quick reflexes and managed to dodge. "You're fast." he admitted.

"Thank you." Ruby said.

"Unfortunately, nothing can out speed wind." the man said with a grin. Before Ruby could comprehend what the man was saying he blew Ruby against a wall. Ruby got up but then got blown against the roof. She fell towards the ground but Erigor blew her against the wall again midair. Ruby's unconscious body fell to the ground. "What a pity. We shared a love for scythes."the man who clearly was Erigor said. He decided to keep Ruby alive. It's the least he could do. Erigor flew away at a high speed. He had to find Lullaby.


Taiyang had finished defeating the Eisenwald goons. He still was angry about them stabbing Yang. He checked her wounds and concluded that she would be fine.

"Taiyang?" Taiyang heard a familiar voice say shocked. He turned to the person and saw Torchwick, Coco, Sun, a pair of twins, a very tall guy and an unconscious blonde guy slung over his shoulder.

"What are you guys doing here? And who are they?" Taiyang referred to the Malachite sisters, Junior and Jaune.

"Uhh…" Torchwick was thinking of what to say.

"Torchwick has been doing bad stuff. I was on my way to retrieve your daughters but then this baboon sabotaged me into helping him on his stupid quest to make him look good and Sun look bad." Coco said. Taiyang glared at Torchwick.

"So it's your fault Yang got stabbed." Taiyang said. Torchwick gulped.

"Also, Jaune over here stole the job request. We followed Torchwick's orders and came here so we could head back to Magnolia but it seems something is going on." Coco said.

"It's about Lullaby. It has to be." Sun said. "Eisenwald is here for a reason."

"What even is Lullaby?" Taiyang asked.

"It's a dark magic flute which can kill people if somebody decides to play it." Sun said. "We can only assume Eisenwald already has it." Sun said. Jaune suddenly groaned and slowly came to.

"What's going on?" Jaune asked groggily. "And why does my nose hurt?"

"I might have broken your nose." Junior said. Junior placed Jaune down on his feet.

"I don't trust most of you but we have to work together if we don't want to die." Taiyang said.

"I can vouch for Jaune that he is trustworthy." Sun said. Jaune smiled. "Also, considering he has protection magic he can stay here and guard Yang." Jaune was a bit nervous. Him alone? That wasn't a good idea at all.

"Sure." Taiyang said. "That leaves seven others. Let's pair up. Torchwick, you're with me because I don't trust you at all and I want to keep an eye on you." Taiyang said. Torchwick frowned.

"Junior will stay here with Jaune because he doesn't have any magic." Sun said. Junior glared at him.

"I'm still useful." Junior said. Sun neglected him.

"I'll team up with Miltia while Coco will team up with Melanie, sound good?" Sun asked. The Malachite sisters didn't like the idea of being separated but were willing to do what they had to do to stay alive.

"Alright then, split up!" Sun said. The pairs split up.


Lucy was running in a long hallway. She was looking for the intercom system since that was where Lullaby was heading. What would she do if she found him though? There was no water to summon Aquarius, Plue was not gonna win in a fight against Lullaby or anyone for that matter, Cancer could maybe deal some damage… She didn't want to risk "losing" another one of her spirits. They were very dear to her. Lucy then came across a door labeled "intercom". It was wide open. She peeked inside and saw two Eisenwald members sitting there.

"Eisenwald." Lucy said with a hint of spite in her voice.

"Oh her. It's the one useless against Lullaby. We're waiting for him actually. We knew this was his final destination." One of them said.

"You guys can't use him! He's too strong for you guys to handle. He WILL kill you." Lucy said in an attempt to change their minds. One of them snorted.

"You hear that Rayule? He's too strong for us." He laughed. Lucy glared.

"I'm serious!" Lucy said. Rayule laughed too.

"Do you hear that Byard? She's being serious." Rayule laughed. Lucy ran towards the two.

"LUCY KICK!" Lucy yelled as she leaped into the air, ready to kick Rayule. Unfortunately Byard flicked his finger and Lucy was send flying against a wall. She groaned in pain.

"Telekinesis." Lucy said as she scratched her head and got back up.

"That's right." Byard said. Lucy got up. It was her versus two experienced guild wizards. The odds weren't looking good.

"Let's make this battle more interesting, shall we?" The three heard somebody say. Lullaby walked up to them.

"Oh no." Lucy said terrified. Rayule and Byard grinned.

"Time to end this Kageyama. Or should I say Lullaby?" Rayule said. He pointed at Lullaby and the ribbons attached to his clothing stretched out and wrapped themselves around Lullaby. Lullaby grinned and pulled. Rayule was flung across the room which resulted in him being slammed into a wall. Lucy winced.

"Did I mention that I'm incredibly strong?" Lullaby asked.

"It doesn't matter." Byard said. Byard made movements with his hand. Lullaby was sent flying against the roof by Byard. Lullaby fell to the ground while Byard grinned. Lullaby then got up and didn't seemed to be fazed at all.

"What in the world." Lucy said dumbfounded.

"You can't stop me. I am the ultimate demon. The ultimate being of evil." Lullaby said arrogantly.

"OPEN THE GATE OF THE GIANT CRAB; CANCER!" Lucy yelled. Cancer's key glowed and he was summoned. Everybody was surprised by Lucy suddenly jumping into action. Lullaby was intrigued.

"What can I do for you baby?" Cancer asked his owner.

"Attack Lullaby!" Lucy order. Cancer nodded and charged at Lullaby. Lullaby yawned while Lucy charged at seemingly Byard. Before Byard could make any hand movements Lucy grabbed her whip and made it wrap around Byard's wrist. She pulled, causing Byard fall face first onto the ground. She then grabbed the intercom and tossed it at the ground before stepping on it, resulting in it's destruction. At the same time Lullaby had directed a screech at Cancer, making him glow and fade away like all the other Celestial Spirits. Lullaby then noticed the broken intercom. Rage boiled inside of him.

"HOW DARE YOU!" Lullaby shoutrf angrily. Lucy looked frightened. Lullaby was going to kill her. He angrily paced at Lucy. Lucy had nowhere to go, she was cornered. Suddenly Rayule's ribbons wrapped themselves around Lullaby. Lullaby pulled hard, sending Rayule flying face first against a wall. Rayule was knocked out cold and fell to the ground. Lullaby continued pacing. Lucy tried looking for a way to escape but it was too late as Lullaby grabbed Lucy by the throat and lifted her up with a single arm. Lucy struggled and gasped for air.

Something clicked in Byard's mind. He didn't mind seeing people die, infact he had killed a fair amount of people himself. But this was different. Lullaby was a threat to him as well. Byard moved his hand and Lullaby flew against a wall. Lucy dropped to the ground. Lullaby was even more angry now. He opened his mouth ready to screech again but no sound came out. Lullaby then closed his mouth, seemingly unwillingly. Byard and Lucy both lifted an eyebrow. Lullaby then started punching himself in the face repeatedly.

"Guess we arrived just in time." Lucy and Byard then heard. They turned to the door and saw Sun and Miltia standing there. Lucy smiled. They were saved.
