Miltia had been walking through the train station for awhile. When she had woken up Sun, Lullaby, Byard and Rayule were all gone. Only Lucy's unconscious body had remained in the room and even though they were somewhat allied, Miltia couldn't stay there and wait for her to wake up. Lullaby could still be out there and so could the Eisenwald guild members. Miltia sighed. She just wanted this to be over with so her, her sister and Junior could go back to their normal lives.

Miltia then noticed a body lying on the floor. She walked towards it and saw that it was Ruby. She didn't seem that injured. Miltia then looked through the window and saw that there was a strong wind force outside of the building. It was probably Eisenwald's work. They didn't want Lullaby to leave. Miltia then started floating out of nowhere and was flung against a wall. She fell to her knees and noticed Byard standing at the end of the hall.

"I'm surprised you aren't dead." Miltia said.

"Could say the same thing about you." Byard said.

"Mind filling me in about what happened after I was knocked out?" Miltia asked.

"Your sister managed to kill Lullaby but it doesn't matter because he can still be of use to us. She ran away with him though. Our master Erigor is currently chasing her. She will probably end up dead." Byard said. Miltia wasn't surprised with the fact that Melanie killed Lullaby. She was a skilled wizard. They both were. Miltia shouldn't have trouble defeating Byard.

"Why aren't you with Erigor?" Miltia asked.

"He send me to get one of you guys so we could exchange that person for Lullaby." Byard said. He gestured to Ruby. "It seems she would be the best person to bargain with. She is so young after all. She has more value to her."

"I don't really care about her but I'm not allowing you to take her." Miltia said.

"And neither am I." Ruby suddenly said. Byard was surprised. Ruby stood up. Her eyes were still closed. He raised an eyebrow.

"Why are your eyes closed?" Byard asked.

"So I don't have to see your ugly face!" Ruby said. She then charged at Byard. Byard flicked his hand and Ruby was flung to the wall. She recovered as if it was nothing and kept charging at him. Byard was confused. Ruby then leapt into the air and was ready to kick Byard but he extended his arm which made her stop and float midair.

"What is going on?!" Byard questioned. Miltia smirked.

"It's my magic. Blood manipulation. She's not actually conscious. I just used the blood to make her talk and move." Miltia explained. Byard was impressed.

"Isn't that forbidden magic?" Byard questioned.

"Do the rules stop you from doing things?" Miltia asked with a smirk. Byard grinned. Miltia was pretty clever.

"As much as I'd like to fight you, I have matters to attend to." Byard said. He tried making Ruby float towards him but Miltia still had some control over her.

"Like I said, I'm NOT letting you take her. It'll result in many deaths." Miltia said. The two both fought over control over the girl. Telekinesis vs Blood Manipulation magic. Ruby kept being attracted to each side.

"If we continue like this she'll be ripped apart." Byard said. Miltia cursed. He was right. Miltia then started floating again. Byard was using his magic on both Ruby and Miltia. Miltia quickly gained a more firm grip on Ruby because her magic was only focused on one person, while Byard's was focussed on two. Before Miltia could fully grasp Ruby, Byard started slamming her into the wall repeatedly. Miltia was gonna lose focus if this was going to go on for much longer. Both the wizards were losing magic fast and their grips on Ruby became equal again.

Suddenly Ruby started to gain small cuts on her body. Miltia gasped. They were literally ripping her apart. Miltia didn't know what to do. After thinking for awhile she sighed…. And let go. Ruby flew straight into Byard and Miltia dropped to the floor exhausted. Byard started laughing as he slowly got up.

"I knew I'd win." He said with a grin. Miltia smiled which confused Byard.

"I still have a plan B." Miltia said. A magic circle opened up underneath her and she stretched her arm out to Ruby. Suddenly Ruby woke up. She got up as fast as possible, seeming a bit jumpy.

"What is happening? Where am I?" Ruby asked as the magic circle underneath Miltia faded. Miltia pointed at Byard who was standing next to Ruby.

"He's the enemy." Miltia said. Ruby turned to Byard who punched her in the face, sending her stumbling backwards. Byard charged at her again but Ruby dodged his punch by ducking. She then punched him in the gut. It wasn't very effective but Byard still needed to clutch his gut.

"Circular run!" Ruby then shouted. She started running in a circle around Byard who was not sure what to do. He couldn't move. Slowly but surely Ruby created a small tornado because of her speed. Byard tried using his telekinesis on Ruby but he couldn't pinpoint his magic because of Ruby being continuously on the move. He slowly started floating upwards and before he knew it, the force of the tornado propelled him straight through the ceiling and straight onto the next floor, where he lay unconsciously. Ruby slowed down and the tornado slowly faded. Soon enough it was gone and Ruby was standing still. She looked at Miltia.

"How did you wake me up?" Ruby asked curiously.

"I… I just did something with your blood in your brain. I don't know how exactly, and I never did it before. I can control your brain to some extend." Miltia said. Ruby looked a little disturbed.

"Can you bring me up to SPEED?" Ruby asked jokingly. Mitlia didn't seem amused.

"Lullaby has taken over Kageyama's body. Kageyama is dead. Last thing I remember was Sun, that Lucy girl and that Eisenwald member fighting him. Lullaby knocked me out though and when I woke up Lucy was lying there unconsciously. I left her there and then run into Eisenwald again. He wanted to use you to blackmail Flameshard." Miltia explained.

"You LEFT Lucy? Why?" Ruby asked a bit angrily.

"I had no time to carry her. We're in a war zone here. If I didn't leave her, you'd probably be in Eisenwald's hands now." Miltia said raising her voice. Ruby sighed.

"Well… thank you." Ruby said.

"No problem." Miltia replied.

"What do we do now?" Ruby asked.

"I have no magic energy left. I can still move, but not much. Leave, go help the others. They need your help." Miltia said. Ruby seemed indifferent about what Miltia said.

"I… I'm not going to leave you." Ruby said. She walked over to Miltia and helped her up. "There may be other Eisenwald members running around." Ruby said. It wasn't the whole truth. She still didn't fully trust Miltia. She did almost kill her after all.

"Yeah…" Miltia said, not sure how to thank Ruby. The two started walking, both supporting each other.


Lucy was using the wall to support herself. She had her whip in the other hand. With no offensive keys left, this was all she had. Suddenly she heard a cackle. She perked up and saw Rayule standing at the end of the hallway.

"Hello pretty lady." Rayule said. "You seem weak." Lucy glared at him.

"I am just fine." Lucy said.

"If you say so." Rayule said.

"What do you want?!" Lucy asked.

"For you not to get in our way. But it doesn't seem like you will. So I guess I'll just leave." Rayule said as he turned around and started walking in the opposite direction. Lucy angrily aimed her whip at Rayule. It wrapped around his wrist. Lucy then pulled and Rayule fell backwards. He managed to do a backflip and landed back on his feet, surprising Lucy. He then grabbed her whip firmly and pulled, sending Lucy stumbling towards him. He then extended his ribbons and slapped her across the face, sending her flying into a wall. Lucy coughed as dust filled her lungs from the impact. Rayule just cackled. Lucy glared at him.

"I still have some fight left in me." Lucy said. She slowly got up, her body bruised all over. Rayule send more of his ribbons towards her. Lucy duck and rolled out of the way and send her whip towards him. The sound of the whip making contact with Rayule's face could be heard across the entire hall. Rayule's head snapped to the side. A little bit of blood dripped down from his cheek.

Lucy did a battle cry and charged towards a stunned Rayule. He quickly got himself back to reality and send ribbons towards Lucy. Lucy ducked and rolled again as she panted. She then leapt up. "LUCY KICK!" She yelled as she kicked Rayule in the face. Rayule collided into the ground while Lucy landed on her feet. She wasn't balanced though and fell on her butt. She panted, her magic slowly draining away. Rayule didn't move. Did she really defeat him? Rayule then chuckled weakly as he slowly sat up.

"This is far from over." He said.


The temperature in the main hall slowly dropped. Instead of body heat coming from Melanie, cold air come from her. Certain parts of the wall and floor started freezing. Jaune, Sun, Coco and Erigor all looked concerned.

"Melanie?" Jaune said, not sure what to say. Melanie didn't respond.

"I've had enough of this." Erigor said bored. "Storm Bringer!" He shouted. He made several hand gestured with his left hand. A purple magic circle opened up beneath Melanie and a tornado sprouted from it. Melanie was sent flying onto the next floor. Debri fell down.

"Melanie!" Jaune shouted concerned.

"Guys, let's take him on. There's three of us, and one of him." Coco said. Sun grinned.

"Gladly." Sun said. "BLINDING BEAM!" Sun shouted. He blasted a tangible beam of light towards Erigor who easily dodged. Coco opened fire on Erigor, making sure he had to keep moving.

"Magic Wind Palm!" Erigor shouted. He showed his palms to Coco. A powerful wind force escaped his palms and went straight towards Coco, knocking all the magic bullets out of the way. Jaune jumped right in front of Coco and summoned a transparent shield. An explosion occurred once the wind made contact with Jaune's shield and a bunch of smoke was left behind. Erigor waited patiently for the protagonists to make their next move. Suddenly Sun leapt out of the thick smoke and attempted to punch Erigor who again dodged his attack. Sun landed on his feet and the smoke cleared behind him.

"He's too fast." Sun shouted at Coco and Jaune. Erigor directed more wind towards Sun, forcing him to get out of the way. Erigor flew towards Lullaby.

"No you don't!" Coco said as she opened fire on Erigor again. Erigor easily dodged and quickly flew towards his target. Just before he could grab Lullaby, he got blasted in the side by a light beam. Erigor was send flying straight into Jaune. Erigor quickly flew up and went straight back down, attempting to stab Jaune in the chest with his scythe. Jaune closed his eyes and created a transparent shield. Erigor's scythe shattered the shield on impact but the momentum of his scythe going down was gone. Erigor raised his scythe again but he suddenly got hit by multiple bullets. They didn't do much damage but Erigor was forced back. Jaune got back up and got some distance from Erigor. Erigor fired another Magic Wind Palm towards Coco. Coco had no time to dodge and was send flying into a wall. Her machine gun dropped to the ground a few feet away. Jaune did a battle cry as he charged towards Erigor with his magical shield at the ready.

"Magic Wind Palm!" Erigor said once more. He continuously sent Magic Wind Palms towards Jaune. Jaune stood his ground but slowly got pushed back with each hit.

"Sun, now!" Jaune yelled. Erigor raised his eyebrow and turned to Sun, who was already mid air ready to drop kick Erigor. Erigor flew out of the way causing Sun to kick the ground.

"Storm Bringer!" Erigor yelled. A magic circle opened up underneath Sun and a tornado sprouted from it. The tornado was smaller than the first one and simply send Sun flying into the air. Erigor readied his scythe, ready to slice Sun in half.

"Sembling Disc!" Erigor then heard from down below. He looked at Jaune and saw another transparent shield but this time it was flying straight at him like a frisbee. Erigor had no time to react and the top half of his scythe got cut off by Jaune's disc. Anger filled inside of Erigor and he simply kicked Sun in the stomach, sending him flying straight into Jaune. The crash send rubble flying everywhere and caused a small cloud of dust to form. Jaune and Sun both groggily got up while Coco joined them, having her machine gun at the ready. An angry Erigor floated above them.

"This has lasted long enough." Erigor said, anger clearly in his voice. "It's time to end this," Erigor took a deep breath. "STORM MAIL!" Erigor shouted. He spinned the remains of his scythe around, causing wind to be sucked towards him. Soon enough Erigor's body was cloaked in powerful wind blowing inside out. The three wizards could feel the power coming off of him.

"Wind armor isn't going to protect you!" Sun said. Sun charged towards Erigor. He blasted a beam of light downwards to boost him up. Sun went in for the punch to Erigor's face but as soon as Sun's fist made contacts with the wind he was send flying backwards, straight into the ground. Erigor grinned.

"Sun!" Coco yelled concerned. She started firing bulltets at Erigor but the bullets ricocheted off of him like they were nothing. Jaune turned to Sun who slowly got up. His right hand, the one he used to punch Erigor, was badly bruised and his glove had completely been ripped apart. They couldn't hurt him with or without magic. "BULLET FIELD" Coco then yelled. Coco started shooting everywhere. Jaune was ready to duck out of the way but the bullets all didn't make contact with anything. Instead they stayed in place before they could make contact with anything. In a matter of seconds the room was filled with magical bullets. "GO!" Coco shouted. All the bullets flew straight at Erigor from all directions. They didn't ricochet off of his wind armor, but instead an explosion occurred. Coco panted. The attack took a lot of energy. Sun, Coco and Jaune waited for the smoke that was left behind from the explosion to clear. Out of nowhere Erigor exited the cloud of smoke at an incredible speed and he flew straight towards Jaune.

"Aurora Spirit Shield!" Jaune yelled. He created another shield. As soon as Erigor made contact with the shield it shattered and Erigor punched Jaune in the jaw, sending him flying against a wall. Erigor didn't stop and flew towards Sun. Sun barely managed to dodge him. Erigor continued to fly towards the three wizards, forcing them to keep moving.

"Guys, we have to come up with a plan!" Coco said panting. "I can't do this for much longer." She said.

"Me neither." Jaune said.

"Guys, I have an idea." Sun said as he winked at them. They both knew what it meant. "BLINDING SUN!" Sun yelled as he stood in place and started glowing brightly. Coco had her sunglasses on and Jaune covered his eyes. Erigor yelled in agony. They had finally managed to outsmart the Eisenwald master.


Lucy's whip continuously made contact with Rayule's ribbons. Both were tired, but Lucy knew she was going to give in first.

"You can't keep this up much longer." Rayule said smugly.

"I won't stop until my body gives in!" Lucy said.

"Stubborn little girl." Rayule said. Suddenly the ground near Rayule blew up, sending him flying straight into Lucy. The two both quickly got up and took some distance from each other. Both waited for the smoke to clear and once it did, they saw Melanie. Melanie was furious and the walls and floor near her slowly froze. She looked incredibly frightening and Rayule gulped at the sight of her.

"Lucy was it?" Melanie asked, her voice seemingly deeper. Lucy nodded in fear. "Leave this one to me." Melanie commanded her. Lucy simply nodded and started running away. She had little strength left and wasn't going to be able to do much to help Melanie out.

"You don't scare me." Rayule said to Melanie. Melanie didn't even flinch.

"We'll see." Melanie said. She screeched and the last thing Rayule saw was ice.


Coco, Jaune and Sun all panted as the light slowly faded. Erigor stood on the ground in place, the wind still acting as his armor.

"Everybody attack him n-" Sun got cut off as Erigor flew straight at him and headbutted him in the stomach. Erigor continued to drill into Sun's stomach as he collided into a wall. Cracks continuously formed as Sun yelled in agony.

"SUN!" Coco yelled concerned.

"Did you honestly think that was going to work?" Erigor asked Sun cockily. "The wind basically acts as my own sort of sunglasses. You never stood a chance against me." Erigor said. Sun continued to scream. If this continued he would die. Jaune then charged towards Erigor. He summoned a shield and started pushing Erigor's side. Sparks flew everywhere as soon as Jaune's shield made contact with Erigor's wind armor. "You're not strong enough!" Erigor told Jaune. This only made Jaune more angry. Jaune put all his force into pushing Erigor away but he didn't budge. Sun's screaming didn't stop. Coco then joined Jaune and helped him push. Jaune was surprised. The sparks intensified. Erigor's eyes slightly widened. Was this what it was like to have comrades? To be a part of a guild?

"Coco?" Jaune said surprised.

"Continue pushing!" Coco commanded Jaune. Jaune nodded. He put more force into it.

"STOP!" Erigor said angrily. Both Jaune and Coco did a battle cry and pushed as hard as they could. They managed to push Erigor out of the way. Not too much, but enough for Sun to be freed. Sun slumped to the ground and Jaune's shield faded. All three panted and all three were exhausted. Coco helped Sun up.

"Look at you. All weak with barely any energy left. Interesting isn't it? The three of you couldn't beat me and it will be the end of you." Erigor said. Erigor readied himself to charge towards the three. All three of them were out of ideas.

"Guys… What do we do?" Jaune asked, unsure and a little bit afraid.

"We can't give up!" Sun said.

"He's right." Coco agreed. Jaune brainstormed for a few minutes. How could they get themselves out of this? Suddenly a lightbulb went on in Jaune's head.

"Run." Jaune then said. Coco and Sun turned to him.

"What?" Sun asked, raising his voice a little.

"I'll create a shield to protect myself while you two run." Jaune said.

"You can't! The shield is too weak because you barely have any magic energy left." Coco said.

"You two have a better chance at defeating him than I do. It's the best idea I have." Jaune said.

"NO!" Sun said stubbornly.

"Here I come." Erigor said, interrupting the conversation.

"GO!" Jaune yelled as Erigor charged at one of them. Sun and Coco refused. Jaune knew they weren't going to listen and created a dome shaped forcefield around all of them. At least they were together. At least they had tried.

Suddenly a shadow stood in front of the three and their bubble. The shadow easily caught Erigor in the palm of it's hand. The three wizards gasped. It was Lullaby. Erigor didn't seem to damage him at all.

"You contain all the magic I need." Lullaby said, his voice raspy. Lullaby opened his mouth and seemingly sucked the magic out of Erigor. His wind armor soon faded and his skin became rimply. Soon enough all that was left was an old and weak body. Lullaby slowly turned to the three in the bubble, his eyes glowing neon purple. He was grinning.

"It's time for me to reveal my truest form." Lullaby said. Jaune trembled in fear. THIS was possibly the end.
