Thanks for the review guys; I'm trying to add on as many chapters as I can because soon I'm not going to be able to for a while so any way
Read and Enjoy
"Geez Natsu, Happy slow down" yelled Sakura as she watched the two of them fly ahead to where Erigor was; after they jumped out of the hole Natsu and Happy immediately took off with Sakura not far off their trail. She could guess that Erza wasn't going to be too happy about this but it wasn't like they had a choice. They were the only ones who could fly in any case.
So they were soaring through the sky looking for Erigor; it wasn't long before they found him and Natsu attacked before landing on the train tacks with Happy in his arms.
'They managed to knock Erigor down' Sakura thought as she watched him struggle to his feet.
Sakura landed besides Natsu and Happy who looked like he was out of magic from flying
"Are you alright?" she asked them
"Yeah"
"D-DAMN YOU" Erigor hissed with venom laced in his tone "You're from Fairy Tail, why are you here?"
Natsu got his flames ready to attack and shadows began to surround Sakura
"We're here to defeat you!" Natsu said
"Come on" Natsu said smirking "I'll destroy that flute!"
"You broke out of the magic wall, how?" Erigor asked "You pesky flies let me through; be gone!"
He summoned a magic wind to blow them away but Sakura summoned a shadow shield to stop the strong wind but she was struggling to hold it.
"This…is nothing" she panted closing one of her eyes as the wind blew
Natsu leapt into the air before coming down to the ground to land a fire punch but Erigor avoided him at the last moment. This caused his attack on Sakura to stop; she fell to her knees and looked up.
The two of them began to clash before Erigor was in the air again flying.
"Damn you; stop fluttering around that aint fair" Natsu said angrily
"I'll get him" Sakura said jumping into the air and onto her glyph, flying after Erigor
"Don't get cocky" Erigor smirked throwing a magic wind at her; avoiding it just in time Sakura threw a shadow punch at the man but he blocked it with his wind shield.
Sakura tried again to manipulate his magic's shadows but it wasn't working; he threw a huge wind at her that sent her flying back to the ground landing hard on top of Natsu.
"As I said; don't get cocky; flies!"
Sakura and Natsu were engulfed in a huge tornado called Storm bringer now and couldn't get out. Before they were both sent flying over the edge of the rail way.
"Natsu!" Sakura shouted reaching out her hand for him
"Sakura!" Natsu reached out his hand for her as well
'Damn it' Sakura thought as she reached out for him; she couldn't fly until she got a hold of his hand because there was a chance that he would hit the ground before she reached him; her glyph's speed depended on her magic and she had been fighting a lot today; there was no way she could think to use her power to manipulate Erigor's magic.
'Crap' she thought
Suddenly Natsu's eye's snapped open and Sakura saw a huge flame come out reaching into the sky; Natsu grabbed a hold of her waist and the two of them were being lifted up into the air; they finally reached the railway again and landed down.
"What was that?" Sakura asked letting go of Natsu who had a big grin on his face
"That was close" he smirked and clenched his fist "Change the properties of fire"
Punching his fists together Natsu attacked Erigor with his Roar of the fire dragon; Sakura watched as Natsu blew out flames at Erigor but he managed to block Natsu's attack once more.
"So this is what a Fairy Tail wizard is like?" Erigor asked smirking
"I'm getting fired up" Natsu smirked back
Erigor swung his scythe around and wind engulfed his entire body before he charged at Sakura and Natsu; leaping into the air with a fire fist Natsu tried to land a punch but it was deflected however he didn't stop Natsu jumped back up towards him and attacked again but he was deflected once more.
"I thought this would be more of a challenge; no matter. I'll finish this now. This is flying Phoenix magic that will tear you to ribbons!"
Several magic circles appeared before a huge wind with such force came towards Sakura and Natsu knocking them both back; Sakura wasn't able to deflect it with her shield.
"What the heck?" she said as she got back onto her feet; she turned over to Natsu who was lying on the ground still but his body was still one peace that was a good thing; Happy was trying to wake him up.
Sakura threw a shadow punch at Erigor which he deflected; then she tried using her magic to break through the wind barrier but it failed and she was sent flying back and landing right beside Natsu.
"Natsu!" she screamed as her voice was carried away by the wind.
Erigor smirked evilly at the scene "Not bad for young wizards worry not, the old geezers will be following him shortly. From the sweet sound of Lullaby"
Sakura clenched her fist in anger before something beside her hit the ground; she saw it was Natsu who was standing up; he threw off his jacket and glared at Erigor.
"Lullaby this; Lullaby that. If you want the old men's heads then fight them fair and square!" Natsu said
"Impossible his still standing?" Erigor said in disbelief
As Natsu jumped towards Erigor a thought came to Sakura; if she couldn't use her magic to manipulate Erigor powers then perhaps she could use it on Natsu to increase his!
Sakura watched as Natsu was blown back "Dammit!" he cursed before grabbing onto one of the tracks "Why can't I get close to him!?"
Sakura summoned a magic circle from underneath Natsu and started to manipulate his flames to become as strong as his feelings and it was working; he was becoming infuriated so much that flames were engulfed around his entire body but it wasn't enough.
"I need to use more magic" she thought as she made her magic circle larger and the flames became even bigger "Dragons flames engulfed by darkness" she muttered looking as Natsu's flames outline took on a dark colour
"I can't stand it!" Natsu shouted "YOU SON OF A BITCH!"
"Flames of emotion" Sakura murmured "Increased with my dark manipulation magic; it's almost done"
She looked at Erigor; his winds were going in a different direction she smirked at this just one more push for her.
"Natsu!" yelled Sakura; he looked at her "You can't win; just give up and let Gray handle it"
His jaw dropped in shock before his flames became ignited even larger and stronger "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY!?"
Erigor stared in shock as Natsu's flames began to draw away his storm mail around his body; the super-heated air around Natsu moved upwards extremely fast creating an area of low pressure and winds blew towards areas of low pressure.
"It worked" Sakura smiled
Happy jumped over to Sakura and into her arms; she caught him with ease "What did you do?" Happy asked
"Nothing much" Sakura smiled but it wasn't a look of innocence Happy was seeing his her eyes
"I WILL BE THE ONE TO DEFEAT YOU" Natsu screamed attacking Erigor literally head on before sending him into the sky with his fire before Erigor landed hard on the ground again.
"How do you like that Sakura?" asked Natsu
"Yup; you're Natsu the Salamander alright" she cheered
"That's not what you said before right Happy?" Natsu asked
Happy smiled "Cats have short term memory"
"And I have amnesia" Sakura replied hitting the side of her head lightly
He turned and glared at Sakura "You said that I couldn't beat him so I should just let Erza do it!" he snapped
"Actually I said Gray" she corrected "But anyway you won Natsu"
Natsu pouted slightly before smiling "You're right; but it's also thanks to you. I saw that magic circle under me"
Sakura rubbed the back of her head "To be honest I wasn't even sure that would work; for I know my magic could've killed you"
"WHAT?"
Giggling she smiled "Just kidding!"
Suddenly Sakura felt her vision becoming hazy and losing feeling in her body; she swayed slightly with Happy in her arms before she fell forward slightly but Natsu caught her shoulders before she fell just then she heard voices.
"Natsu! Sakura!" it was Lucy's without a doubt
While Sakura was out cold the rest of the group managed to get to them but Kage who they had taken along stole the flute and their vehicle and had gone to the guild masters meeting but they managed to get to the forest where the meeting hall was.
Sakura moaned softly as her eyes fluttered open to see the night's sky; it was already noon. She felt something around her shoulders; she saw it was arms.
"Gray" she murmured sitting up
"Hey; are you alright?" he asked
Sakura nodded slowly and rubbed her tired eyes "I'm fine; what's going on?"
Gray filled her in on what's been happening so far; he told her that Kage came here with the intention to play the flute but then the master managed to talk sense into him and he didn't play it; so that explained why he was sitting there on the ground sulking and no one was attacking him but that didn't explain the other strange characters around her. Gray then told her that these were the master from the other guilds; he introduced one very disturbing looking guy as master Bob the master of blue Pegasus; another man master Goldmine; the master of Quarto Cerberus.
"So that's what's been going on" Sakura nodded rubbing her head; it was still sore "Damn; I think I used too much magic"
She tried to get up but Gray sat her back down holding her by her shoulders "Hold on there; you're still injured"
"I'm fine!" she argued blushing slightly when she noticed he wasn't wearing a shirt and he was that close to her; luckily he had on pants or she would've smacked him.
"Just hold still; I'm trying to help!" Gray said trying to hold her down finally she stopped
"Where's the flute?" she asked
Suddenly Sakura got an eerie feeling; looking over to where the flute lied it started to produce a dark smoke and purple lightening then a huge magic circle appeared above them and a voice spoke.
"A bunch of cowardly wizards; all of you; I can't stand it; I'll devour them myself!"
Everyone watched in shock as a giant monster appeared before them; it had three eyes like the flute and was made out of wood.
"What is that?" Sakura asked in shock as she felt Gray's hold tighten around her; he glared at the monster; gently letting her go he walked over to Natsu and Erza who were waiting to see what would happen next
"I had no idea about this!" Kage said staring wide eyes at the best
"This is a demon of the book of Zeref" one of the masters said
Sakura's eyes widened when she heard that name "Zeref" she muttered
"Soon we will be able to resurrect Zeref"
'There's no way' she thought trembling slightly
"Why did the flute turn into the monster?" Lucy asked
"That monster is Lullaby; in other words it's living magic" explained master Goldmine; Sakura had no idea how they could be so calm when there was that right in front of them.
"The black wizard Zeref was the most evil wizard in the history of the magic world" Master Bob told them
Sakura shook out of her state of shock; now was not the time to be awe struck; she stood up and walked forward behind her friends; Lucy wouldn't be able to fight because she was out of spirits that she could use.
"So whose souls should I partake first?"
"Say what?" Natsu shouted then looked over at Gray "Are soul tasty anyway?"
"How should I know?" Gray asked back; this really wasn't the time to be asking dumb questions
"Natsu; Sakura; Gray move away from everyone" Erza ordered
"Right" they said walking forward more
"Okay; I've decided I'm going to eat all of your souls"
Natsu stepped forward with a confident grin on his face "Sounds like fun go ahead and try!"
Suddenly the demon summoned a huge magic circle above it; the ground shook beneath everyone's feet and the forest was filled with the sound of the monster.
"Let's go" Erza said taking out her swords
They all nodded and charged forward together at the monster; Erza requip into the knight and struck the first blow to Lullaby; then Gray used his ice make Lance to attack the monster; Sakura threw her dark bolts down on him and then Natsu used his iron fist of the fire dragon to punch the monster back.
"You're really pissing me off now!"
Lullaby swiped his hand over at the group but they moved out of the way in time while the guild master just looked at them in awe. The group attacked together again; using different types of attacks but all in sync with each other perfectly. They were doing damage that was for sure.
Suddenly Lullaby began using his magic; killing the plants and they knew that he was planning on using his power to kill them but then when he was about to play it came out sounding very wrong.
"What happened to my sound?" he shouted
"The attacks we did, opened up more holes in him" Sakura said "So he can't play properly"
Lullaby then went on a rampage and created a huge wall of fire but Gray protected everyone when he summoned a huge ice shield.
"Is that maker magic?" Lucy asked
Natsu then ate up the flames around them and leapt into the air while Erza requip again and used her Black wing Armour; it was a dark armour that would cause twice as much damage.
Sakura created a huge magic circle from underneath Lullaby it was her dark ribbons that tied around him and kept him in place. Gray used his ice make Saucer to slice through and Erza slashed at the monster with a sword and then Natsu with one last deadly attack he used an attack he called Dazzling Blaze of the fire dragon that completely incinerated the monster.
Everyone stared in amazement at the sight as the four appeared out of the dust; Lucy ran over to them to say job well done and so did the master.
Master Goldmine smiled "I don't exactly know what was going on but we owe Fairy Tail one now huh?"
"But look" another master pointed out
Sakura and Erza turned around and gulped
"They we overboard!" they all screamed
"Where's the meeting hall?" Lucy gaped
The master was so shocked his spirit flew out of him while Natsu just laughed about what they done and the guild master were fuming at all of them. Sakura couldn't help but smile slightly before she started to sway slightly; she felt someone behind her as saw Gray looking down at her.
"You idiot; you really used up all your magic then" he said holding onto her shoulders
Sakura clicked her tongue at him "I'm fine; although I'm not sure for how long"
They looked over at the angry guild members
"Maybe I should reconsider being in a guild" she said out loud
Gray looked down at her "No way" she looked up at him confused "You're not dropping out now; we're a team after all"
Sakura couldn't help but smile at him "We should get out of here"
They all started running into the woods back to the guild with Master on Erza's back; Happy flying in the air and everyone else running for the sake of not getting scolded.
'This was fun' Lucy and Sakura thought glancing at each other
After the whole incident was cleared up it became news very fast about what had happened and to think that it was Fairy Tail in the middle of it. They had all gotten home safely at least; Sakura and Lucy was just glad to be back at home.
Sakura heard that all of the members f
rom the dark guild were arrested including Kage however that wasn't really a surprise; there has to be some kind of punishment for doing something like that but Erigor hadn't been captured yet.
"Who is Zeref?" Sakura said in wonder
Sakura lied low in the shadows as she listened in on the conversation between Jellal as someone he was talking to through a magic glass. Ever since she had found out about this room where he would vanish to she was always coming here when she could to find out what he was doing even though he revealed a lot of things she wished she hadn't known; she needed to know more.
"Things are going well I take it?" Jellal asked
"Yes; everything is going according to plan; soon Zeref shall be reborn"
"Excellent; with that the magic world will plummet into an era of darkness"
Sakura shook her head at the thoughts that were going through her mind; she really couldn't help but think about it; she wished she could tell her friends about what she knew but; what they would think of her if she told them?
'No one can ever find out the truth' she thought clenching her fists as she stood up from her desk
"Wow; you look really stressed; something bothering you Sakura?" a familiar voice asked
When Sakura turned around in alarm she saw Gray standing there in his boxers of course with a grin on his face as he sat back on her sofa like he owned the place.
"TRESPASSING!" she shouted smacking Gray "Don't strip in my house!"
Gray held up his hand to stop her "Hold it; it's a misunderstanding! I was already stripped when I got here" he told her casually
Sakura pointed to the door "Get out"
"I figured that you would forget so I came to get you and Lucy" Gray said with his hands on his hips
Sakura tilted her head in confusion "What"
"That's what I thought; today's the day" Gray explained "Remember what Natsu said at the train station before we left?"
Sakura's eyes widened "The fight!?"
When Sakura; Gray and Lucy arrived at the front of Fairy Tail there was a huge crowd gathered getting ready to watch the fight; Lucy wasn't so sure about this fight; she didn't actually think it was happening but she was worried.
While Sakura was interested to actually see how this would play out since she had no doubt that both of them were really strong but according to Gray Erza was stronger.
Sakura watched as Erza requip into another one of her armour's; she heard from someone it was the Flames Empress armour; it could resist fire meaning that Natsu would have even more trouble winning.
Sakura's eyes narrowed as she watched the place where people were placing their bets!
"Are we allowed to bet?" Lucy asked
Sakura shrugged in response
"Begin!" the master said
Sakura gaped; even the master approved of the fight; she watched as Natsu came in for the first attack; the two started clashing with each other but Natsu was going a bit over board with the flames nearly burning the crowd in the process.
"Wow this is a good battle" Sakura said
Gray scoffed "What's so good about it?"
"Stingy" Sakura murmured
Just as Natsu were Erza were about to make direct contact with their weapons and flames the sound of a gong went off; Sakura turned her head and saw a frog messenger walking towards Erza and Natsu telling everyone to stay where they were.
"I am a messenger from the council" she said
"Council?" someone said
"Why would they send someone here?" another person asked
"Stemming from the recent Eisenwald incident; we hereby charge you with eleven accounts of criminal property damage. Erza Scarlet; you are under arrest" the messenger said shocking Natsu
"W-What"
"Also" the messenger continued "Another member of Fairy Tail is being called out by one of the council members the details of the request is private of course. Sakura Violet; you are to accompany Erza Scarlet to the Council Fiore Branch; the rest shall be explained further on"
"WHAT?" Asked Gray turning to Sakura with a concerned look on his face
Lucy turned to Sakura with worry "Sakura; how come….."
"I don't know" Sakura said looking equally shocked
Gray grabbed hold of her arm "Come on let's get out of here"
"But….."
"Hold it" the messenger said looking at Sakura "Resistance to this request will result in a forceful retrieval and the arrest of any personal aiding in your attempt escape"
"WHAT?" Asked Lucy
Sakura nodded and got Gray to let go "Hey wait" he said taking her hand
"It's alright" Sakura said smiling to reassure him "I'll be back later"
Gray reluctantly let go of her hand and watched as she walked up beside Erza
After Sakura and Erza were taken away the rest of the guild was confused about this but they were powerless to stop it; after all if they were to do that then it would mean a lot of trouble even more for them than usual.
Natsu had to get turned into a small pink lizard just so that he wouldn't go after them and Gray had been tied down to a chair so he wouldn't try and go after them either.
Everyone else at the guild was just silent as they worried for their comrades but tried not to show it too much because it would only make them worry more.
"Let me out of here!" Natsu shouted banging on the glass cup he was in while Gray struggled in the chair he was strapped to
"Let me go" Gray said
"Natsu; Gray be quiet" Mirajane said sounding very seriously
"I won't, who cares about Erza and Sakura anyway?" Natsu said pretending he didn't care
"This is the council we're dealing with; there's nothing we can do" Lucy said "But there's got to be something behind this happening"
Sakura and Erza were walking through the hallway to the room where Erza's judgment would be passed; Erza of course was handcuffed; the messenger was beside them as well.
"Sakura; do you have any idea why a council member would want to meet with you?" Erza asked her in a soft voice
She shook her head gently "No; I really don't. Remember I have amnesia and don't recall anything for the last fourteen years of my life then there is also the fact that for the last one and half years I haven't actually been in contact with the world"
"What do you mean?" Erza asked
Sakura looked down at her hand and thought about what she should say to Erza; after all explaining everything to her wasn't an option.
"What am I supposed to do about this request?" Sakura asked the messenger suddenly
"After the trial; you shall be taken to the council member in person" the messenger replied
Sakura nodded in understanding as they continued to walk down the hall; she was still in a daze but then she felt Erza stop walking and stopped as well; following the red head's line of sight; her eyes widened at what she saw.
There was a man dressed in white leaning against one of the pillars. Sakura took one step back but Erza was too busy glaring at the man to notice.
Erza gasped "Siegrain!"
Sakura looked like a deer caught in the headlights as she stared over at the man; she had heard his name before.
Jellal told her that he had a twin brother; she knew that this was him however if that was the case it also meant that he was…..
The messenger bowed quickly
"Long time no see; Erza" Siegrain said walking over to her; Sakura backed up further away and hid behind Erza
"Sakura" Erza murmured noticing the girl's visible discomfort
"Don't be so on guard" Siegrain said stretching out his arms "This is just a thought projection; the old men in the next room are also thought projections" he said
"I see" Erza hissed diverting her gaze from Sakura to Siegrain "This is all because of you; what a pointless farce!"
Siegrain walked pass Erza making Sakura push herself further into Erza's back to hide her form
"Don't be so harsh; after all I'm on Fairy Tail side. The old men were afraid that they would share in the blame; so they created a plan to push the responsibility onto others"
"Why the meeting for Sakura then?" Erza asked
"I simply wanted to meet her, it's not your business really Erza" he said sounding rather smug
Siegrain looked over at Sakura making her flinch when he reached out for her Erza turned around with Sakura on her side and glared up at him "Enough" she hissed
"I wanted to see you two before the trial and warn you" he leaned in closer to Erza and Sakura
"Don't say anything of the past to the old men; for all of our sakes" he whispered before walking away
"I'll be waiting on the other side of the door as a member of the council" he then turned to Sakura "And after; Sakura I'll be waiting to meet you in person"
When he left the messenger stood up again "You two sure know some powerful people don't you?"
Erza continued to glare at the place where he once was "That man is evil" she said
'I can second that' Sakura thought
Turning to the pinkette Sakura could see that Erza wanted answers but she wouldn't be getting them here; it was too dangerous.
Sakura was seated down; she watched as Erza was placed on trial in front of the council members that would judge her; she wasn't able to look at Siegrain though.
"We will now commerce the wizards trial" one of the said "The accused Erza Scarlet; take the stand"
Sakura watched this; she glanced up slowly at Siegrain who was staring down at Erza but she wasn't able to look for long; she really didn't want to in any case.
"In regards to the recent incident regarding Eisenwald and Lullaby; you will answer to the charges concerning the damage to the parts of Oshibana Station; the destruction of the Ryusika Gorge railway and the complete collapse of the Clover meeting hall; according to witnesses at the scene it was an armoured female wizard!"
Suddenly there was a huge crash and when the dust cleared what was seen shocked them all; there was Natsu but he was dressed up as Erza in fake armour and a wig.
Sakura gaped "Is he really that dumb?" she asked shaking her head
Natsu started going on a rampage "I'm Erza; whatever I did spit it out already!"
Sakura shook her head in disdain; whatever Natsu was thinking it was stupid.
Erza and Natsu were taken away but when Sakura tried to follow after them a council member spoke up and she was taken somewhere else.
'Oh god; help me' she thought
Ok hope you enjoyed
