Took my time with this one. I wanted to get more editing done. Fairy Tail belongs to Hiro Mashima. Reina belongs to me.

Enjoy!

-x-

"How could I have done that?" Erza shouted to the sky angrily. "I was too focused on talking and left Natsu and Reina on the train and Natsu's not good with transportation either! This is all my fault. Someone, hit me!" Expectantly, Erza turned to Lucy.

"I don't think that's wise." Lucy tried calming her down. It was all of their faults really for leaving Reina and Natsu behind. They were too engrossed in their conversation about Eisenwald to remember them. Still, she felt guilty.

"Gray, why didn't you wake Reina up?" Erza rounded on Gray who cowered under her gaze.

"She's not my responsibility!" Gray snapped back.

Erza didn't answer and marched up to a train conductor. "Stop the train right this minute!" She demanded.

"I'm sorry?" The man was confused at the sight of a woman in armor yelling at him to stop the train.

"People in Fairy Tail are very similar, aren't they?" Lucy said to no one in particular. Natsu and Erza marched ahead without thought for others and Reina was blunt and straightforward.

"Hey, I'm normal!" Gray protested.

"You're an exhibitionist, how is that normal?" Lucy returned coolly. She hadn't really forgiven him completely for asking for her underwear while he was naked.

"It's for our nakama, please understand." Erza continued.

"I'm sorry, I can't stop the train for a couple of people who didn't manage to get off." He said sympathetically.

Erza looked ready to hit him but she noticed the emergency stop signal lever behind him. "Happy!" She commanded and pointed at it.

"Aye sir!" Happy saw it. He flew up and pulled the lever.

Lights went on and began to travel up the tracks to where the train would be. "Let's go after them!" Erza said but then turned quickly to a random couple. "Excuse us, but please deliver this to Hotel Chili. Thank you." She handed the rope to her pile of luggage over to them.

The couple didn't have time to protest before Erza was off and running down the street. "We'll need to rent a carriage, hurry!"

"This has become such a mess." Lucy sighed.

"Indeed."

"Gray, where did your shirt go?"

-x-

"Speaking of Fairy Tail. Mirajane's famous, isn't she?" The man was saying. Reina's eyes flickered. Why wasn't Gray or Erza talking?

"She's in the magazines sometimes and she's beautiful. I wonder why she's not active anymore. She's still young."

Well there was a very good reason why Mira wasn't active anymore but that information wasn't known to people outside the guild.

"And I don't know the name but I heard the new girl's cute. Do you know her?" That would be Lucy he was talking about. Reina fidgeted.

The man paused but continued. "I noticed that regular guilds have many cute girls. I envy you, there are no girls in my guild. Would you please share some? Like this girl in the window?" He was talking about her. Her face pressed into the cold glass and suddenly, Reina was fully awake. Her eyes snapped open the exact same time she heard the man say, "or so I'd say."

She turned to see the man kick Natsu in the face. "Don't ignore me. That's being discriminatory to Dark Guilds."

Dark Guilds? Oh shit. "Hey!" Reina snapped.

He looked at her. He had a round face that would look kind if he wasn't looking at them maliciously. "Oh, you finally talked!" He mocked. Natsu was still unable to do anything as the train was still moving.

She got off the sill but nearly fell down and she scrambled to catch hold of the sill. Her legs had fallen asleep. The man laughed. "Fairy Tail has been getting a lot of attention lately. You know, stuck up people like that annoy the hell out of me. Do you know what we call Fairy Tail? Flies." He patted Natsu on the head, hard. "Flies! Fly swatting!"

"Punk!" Natsu stood up. It seemed he had enough of the man's mockery.

"Ooh, you gonna attack me?"

His hands flared up but he gave into his motion sickness and the fire disappeared. The man fell back into the seat, laughing. "What kinda magic is that?" The shadow beneath his feet moved. "You gotta use your magic LIKE THIS!" The shadow burst out of the ground and uppercut Natsu's chin.

"Natsu!" Reina shouted. She stood but she was still wobbly.

"Little flies!" The man was still laughing and he didn't notice Reina putting her hand on her side.

"Bone Make. Staff!" She darted forward and landed a solid blow on the man's head. He stumbled away from her, holding his head.

"You must be the Bone Mage." He regarded her and smiled. "You're pretty but not my type." His shadow moved and Reina tensed, preparing for an attack from any direction.

But the train lurched to a stop and they all stumbled, trying to keep their footing. The man's bag fell onto the ground and a strange looking instrument fell out. It had holes down the shaft but the top was shaped like a skull with three eyes. What an interesting flute.

"Shit, you saw it." The guy said.

"Shut up." Natsu had recovered. "Thanks so much for earlier." He punched the man straight on. "THIS IS FOR YOU!"

The man flew back into the next carriage. "You okay?" Reina asked and picked herself up.

"Fly punch!" Natsu ignored her and smirked at the fallen man.

"We've confirmed that the emergency break was due to a false report. We'll depart shortly." The intercom came on. "We apologize for your inconvenience."

"Shit." Natsu said. He went over to the compartments and grabbed his pack. "Get ready to get out of here Reina."

"Sure." Her staff disappeared.

"I won't let you!" The man was back. "You picked a fight with Eisenwald! Don't think you can get away with it, you pathetic fly!"

Wait, Eisenwald? "Natsu—"

"Same goes for you! I know your face now. Making fun of Fairy Tail and all—" The train lurched forward—"I'll fight you outside next ti—" The sickness came back and he couldn't finish his sentence.

They'd have to fight later; Natsu couldn't cope with this environment. "Come on!" She cried and grabbed Natsu. They slung their arms over each other and went out the window.

Unfortunately, the train had picked up a lot of speed in a short time and they went flying. "NATSU!" She heard in the distance. She opened her eyes to see a magic carriage coming their way. And sitting on top of it was Gray.

"Why did you guys fly out of the train?" He shouted.

Neither of them could reply because Natsu's forehead connected with Gray's and the three of them went toppling over the end of the carriage and onto the ground. Reina rolled into one of them and then smacked into the other before a strong arm wound around her, stopping her.

"Ow." She groaned.

"You okay?" She looked up to see that Gray had been the one to cushion her fall.

"Yeah, I'm okay. But you wanna move your hand?" When he grabbed her he accidentally grabbed her left breast and was gripping it rather tightly.

"Shit, sorry!" Gray leaped away from her. He turned to Natsu to hide his embarrassment. "What the hell are you doing, Natsu?" Gray turned on him for flying out of the train.

"I lost my memory from the shock. Who are you?" Natsu replied blankly. "You smell."

"What?"

"Natsu, we're sorry." Happy flew up.

"You left us!" Reina accused as Erza and Lucy ran to them too.

"You guys are terrible!" Natsu joined her. "How could you leave us behind?"

Both of them apologized while Gray said grumpily, "your amnesia seemed to have occurred at a really convenient time."

"Seriously, Gray. I was right next to you!" Reina turned to him with an unhappy expression on her face.

"I said I was sorry!"

"I'm happy that you two are safe." Erza grabbed them both and pressed them against her chest plate in a hug. Natsu winced in pain and Reina squeaked in discomfort.

Natsu wrenched himself out of her grip. "How am I safe? A weirdo tried to pick a fight with me! Eisen... something."

Then Reina remembered. "Shit, Erza!" She exclaimed. "We ran into a member of Eisenwald on the train!"

"That was it! Eisenwald!"

"YOU IDIOT!" Erza slapped Natsu across the face and turned to Reina, the same angry glint in her eye.

She leapt back. "He said he was from Eisenwald just as we left the train!" Please don't hit me, please don't hit me.

"Eisenwald is who we're after!" She fumed.

"That's the first time I heard that." Natsu slowly picked himself up.

"Weren't you listening to my story?" Erza scolded.

You knocked him unconscious. Reina thought and by the expression of Lucy's face, she could tell Lucy was thinking the same thing. "Sorry Erza." She broke the tension. "I thought it would be best to get Natsu off the train."

Erza seemed to accept that because she nodded curtly at Reina and then walked back to the carriage. She strapped the device the sucked her magic out to power the carriage onto her wrist. "He was on the train, right? We're going to chase it! What did he look like?"

"Nothing special." Natsu said.

"You wouldn't be able to pick him out a crowd. He'd blend in." Reina said. "But he had a really weird flute with him. It had a skull on the end of it. A skull with three eyes."

"That's gross." Gray crinkled his nose.

"A flute with a three-eyed skull." Lucy said slowly.

"Do you know it?" Happy asked.

"No, that can't be. It's just a made up story." Lucy began to tremble. "But if that flute is the cursed song. Lullaby, sleep, and death."

"That flute is the Lullaby!" Lucy exclaimed. "Lullaby, the magic of Death!"

Death magic? "What's that?" Reina asked.

"I've only read about it in a book but among forbidden magic there is such a thing as "murder by curse," right?" Lucy explained.

"Yeah. That's among the reasons why it's forbidden." Reina replied.It was starting to sound familiar, she might have heard about in passing when she was younger.

"Just like the name, it'll curse the target and cast "Death". It's a black magic." Erza said.

"Lullaby is worse than that. When it's played, everyone who hears it will die!"

Oh shit. Some curses would kill only one person but Lullaby could kill a mass of people. "On the carriage, now!" Erza roared.

They didn't need to be told twice. All of them clamored in. The door barely shut before they shot off. "What the hell are they planning?" Reina asked aloud.

"No idea but nothing good can happen with Lullaby." Lucy replied and stuck her head out the window as they gained on Kunugi Station.

"Do you think there's a way to destroy it?" Reina looked at Gray.

"I don't know. Something that dark and powerful will be hard to destroy." He replied.

"Maybe we should get it to the Master. He'd know what to do with it." At the very least, he'd get it to the Grand Council, who'd definitely be able to get rid of it.

They slowed down as they reached Kunugi Station. Lucy and Erza listened in on the employees' conversation while Gray climbed onto the roof of the carriage.

"They took over a train!" Lucy shouted.

"It seems so." Erza replied. "I can understand if it's a horse-drawn carriage or a boat, but a train?"

"Aye, it can only run on the rails so it's not very beneficial to take over." Happy and Reina also stuck their heads out the window.

"But it's got speed." Gray said. "Maybe they're in a hurry to carry out something they've planned." He began to remove his coat. He dropped it over the side and it landed on Reina's head.

"Watch it." She grumbled and shoved his coat into the carriage.

"The military forces are already on the case, so it's probably a matter of time until they get arrested." Lucy sounded hopeful.

"Maybe but they're mages so unless they've got an anti-magic force with them, they won't do much." She and Lucy pulled their heads back in as they went off again.

-x-

They flew down the road and in no time, they were going down the streets of Oshibana. "I hope Erza's alright." Reina glanced at the wall separating them. "She's going really fast." The carriage had to be taking a lot out of her.

"I think I had something to tell you, Lucy." Happy said next to Lucy. "I can't remember."

"What?" She asked.

"I just told you, I can't remember."

"You're making me curious. Try to remember."

Beside them, Natsu stuck his head out the window to empty his stomach contents. "Natsu, you're going to fall out!" Lucy grabbed him.

I am so glad his fire burns the vomit smell off. Reina thought.

"There's something ahead!" Lucy shouted.

"Is it Eisenwald?" Reina stuck her head out another window. Ahead of them, there was a rising column of smoke. "Is that the station?" She shouted to Gray.

"I think so!" He shouted back.

They skidded to a stop. "Let's go!" Erza commanded.

There was a large crowd surrounding the station and the Fairy Tail mages had to push through the thick crowd to get to the station.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please stay back! It's dangerous here!" One of the employees was trying to call everyone to order. "A train was derailed by accident, so no one is allowed to go into the station. Until we can confirm the safety inside, the station will be closed to the public."

That had to be them. Eisenwald was in the train station. "What's going on inside?" Erza was the first to move and approached a station employee.

"Who are you?" He asked but then Erza headbutted him in the face.

"Whoa!" Reina exclaimed as Erza went to other employees and headbutted them when they didn't answer right away.

"She likes people who answer immediately, doesn't she?" Lucy's eyes were wide.

"You know her better now." Gray told her.

"Let's go inside!" Erza turned away from the employees. Reina and Gray quickly followed but Lucy lagged behind because she was carrying the comatose Natsu. "Why am I the one stuck with him?" She heard Lucy wail.

Inside, the bodies of the military littered the main staircase. "I knew it." Reina checked one man. He was still breathing.

"The opponent is a guild full of mages, a military platoon wouldn't stand a chance." Erza bypassed the fallen soldiers.

"Don't rub it in." Reina heard one groan out.

"Hurry up, the platform is this way!" Gray urged them on.

And inside the grand station, they found them. The guild of Eisenwald were standing near their hijacked train and on top of it had to be Erigor. "I know you'd come, Fairy Tail." Erigor said lowly. Reina's eyes landed on the jagged scythe resting on his shoulder and she hoped it was for show. "We've been waiting for you.

"You're Erigor, aren't you?" Erza didn't have to ask. It was very obvious that the man sitting on top of the train was the ace (and probably Guild Master) of Eisenwald.

"You're the armored girl from the other day." Another member of Eisenwald spoke.

"I see. So it was you who leaked our plan." Another said.

Behind them, Lucy dumped Natsu on the floor. "Natsu, wake up! Time to work!" She tried to get him to wake up.

"Impossible." Happy chirped. "He had a massive combo of transportation: The train to the carriage and then Lucy."

"I'm considered transportation?"

"Come on Natsu. You're on the ground, nothing's moving." Reina casually muttered.

"Flies!" The man from the train stepped forward at the sight of Reina and Natsu. "It's because of you—"

"Calm down Kage." Another said.

I have to pay him back for the train. Reina cracked her knuckles and Erza began to glow slightly. "What do you intend to do?" She interrogated. "Depending on your answer, I might have to make you pay for it."

It probably didn't matter what their answer was going to be. Erza was going to kick their asses anyway.

"We just want to fool around. We've got no jobs and we're really bored." Erigor smirked. His guild must have thought that was funniest thing every because most of them burst out laughing. Using his magic, Erigor flew up into the air.

Wind magic? Reina was astonished. She was hoping he'd have a shadow-based magic like the rest of Eisenwald. That was easier to deal with.

"Don't you understand?" Erigor said slowly as if talking to a child. "What do they have inside a train station?" Eisenwald kept chuckling as ERigor flew higher and higher. "Time's up." He tapped the speakers.

The speakers. Oh my god. Reina realized

"Are you going to broadcast the Lullaby?" Erza roared.

"So many innocent people will die." Reina was frozen. They wouldn't!

Erigor laughed. "There are hundreds—no thousands—of people gathering outside of this station right now. If we broadcast it loud enough, even the entire town will hear the Melody of Death."

Mass murder. "You sick fucks." Reina was shaking in rage.

"We're simply cleaning up." Erigor spread his hands to indicate the people he was talking about. "Those fools who live their lives enjoying their rights. Not know that there are people who have been revoked of theirs."

"And whose fault is that?" Reina burst out, unable to contain her anger.

"Living a life oblivious to the unfairness of the world is a sin." Erigor continued as if he hadn't heard Reina. "Thus, the Death God has come to punish them with a punishment called death."

That little—"Your rights will never be returned if you do that!" Lucy shouted, unknowingly voicing Reina's thoughts.

"Now that we've come this far, it's not the right that we seek. We seek authority. If we have authority, we can simply wipe off the past and control the future."

"You're such a fool." Lucy scowled.

If they broadcast Lullaby, wouldn't they also fall victim to it? It was a dark magic, it probably didn't care who was using it as long as it killed as many people as possible. "We'll stop you." Reina swore.

"What a pity." Kage's shadow moved. "For you little flies."

Behind them, a large shadow hand went for Lucy. "Lucy!" Reina screamed.

"You're going to die without getting a glimpse of the dark age!"

"I KNEW IT WAS YOU!" Natsu was up and in a flash he destroyed the shadow. Always last minute, that Natsu. Reina smiled as he faced Eisenwald. His motion sickness had worn off and he looked much better.

"This time, we're on a real battleground!"

Reina cracked her knuckles again and then her neck. "Oh, there are so many of them!" Natsu exclaimed.

"All of them are enemies." Reina cracked her back.

"This is the strongest team in Fairy Tail!" Lucy shot at them. "Prepare yourselves!"

Huh, strongest team? Reina was slightly distracted as Erigor crashed through a window and away from the room. Where did she get that idea?

Running away?" Erza shouted. "Gray, Natsu, after him!"

But both of them looked unwilling to follow him. Not because they didn't want to fight Erigor but because it meant they'd have to work together.

"Now is not the time." Reina moaned.

Erza gave them a look. "If you work together, there's no way you would lose to Erigor."

"They're coming." Lucy squeaked.

"Lucy, Reina, and I will take care of things here."

"Excellent." Reina grinned while Lucy stared uncertainly at the mass of people before them.

"Are you listening to me?" Erza turned back to Gray and Natsu who were silently disagreeing with each other.

"Of course!" They both said.

"THEN GO!" From those two words, the two men were scurrying off to find Erigor. But Kage and another mage left the room too, obviously intending to go for Natsu and Gray.

"Damn." Reina turned away from the two. "They can handle themselves. So Erza," Reina addressed her. "How're we going to do this?"

"You two are serious." Lucy whimpered.

"Once we take care of these people, we'll go after them." Erza answered Reina.

"What can three girls do?" One laughed. "They are gorgeous though." He added as an afterthought.

"Too bad we have to kill them."

"How about we catch and sell them?"

"Wait until we get to see the Fairies' strip show!"

"How despicable." Erza thrust out a fist.

"Sick." Reina muttered and laid one forearm on top of the other. "I'm going to enjoy wiping the floor with them."

"Try insulting Fairy Tail further and I won't guarantee that you'll see tomorrow." Erza spoke dangerously as a sword appeared in her hand.

Many of them thought that Erza would be an easy target and charged, swords in hand. "That won't work against Erza." Reina commented and Erza took every single opponent down. One tried to get her with ranged magic while she was in the air but she quickly requiped to a spear and took him out. By the time she landed, she was holding twin swords. And than an axe.

"I forgot how fast Erza's requip is." Reina commented as she watched her.

"Requip?" Lucy asked behind her.

"Maigc swords are just like your Stellar Spirits. They're storied in a different dimension and you can summon them as you please. We call that procedure to switch between weapons: requip." Happy explained.

"Wow." Lucy breathed,

"Erza's greatness starts here." Happy said simply.

"It does?"

"Erza just doesn't requip weapons." Reina jumped in. She was still standing in her position with her forearms touching.

"Go for the dark-haired one!" Someone shouted and a small group broke away from Erza to charge Reina.

"Oh?" Black smoke leaked from the space between Reina's arms. "Bone Make." She straightened her arms. "Disks!" Two razor-sharp disks flew out and hit the people running for her. It took out some and then she put her hand on her side and brought out her staff, finishing off the rest of them.

"Is that Fairy Tail's Bone Mage?" Someone yelped.

"We still have many opponents." Erza commented. "I'll just take all of you out!" Her armor began to disappear and the only thing keeping from everyone seeing her naked was the smoke that surrounded her.

"Swordmages usually requip their weapons as they fight but Erza can requip magic armor to increase her ability. That's Erza's magic: The Knight!"

Instead of her usual armor, she was wearing armor that was a bit more elegant. She had a longer skirt and her stomach was showing as the armor only covered her chest and arms. She had four wings, two on each side of her back, and a circle of swords floated around her.

"It's been a long time since I've seen that." Reina smiled. "It must be scary to be on the receiving end."

"Dance, my swords." Erza's swords began to move at a fast speed and into a larger circle. "Circle Sword!" The people closest to her were hit and knocked out instantly.

"I think my presences has just become obsolete." Reina stated as she watched Erza easily take down enemy after enemy. "Yeesh. And she almost killed herself getting us here."

"I know who she is!" Someone was screaming. "There's no doubt about it. She's Fairy Tail's strongest women: Erza the Titania!"

"I forgot about that nickname." Reina said while Lucy laughed in amazement at Erza's sheer power.

And just like that, the battle was over. Except for one mage who was running away. "One got away." Reina watched him go.

"He might be heading for Erigor!" Erza snapped. "Lucy, Reina, go after him."

"What?" Lucy started to protest.

"Please." Erza gave her the look and Lucy shrieked in terror.

"Let's go Lucy." Reina and Lucy followed after the runaway mage.

"She's still scary!" Lucy cried as they ran.

"Yeah, I know." Reina replied. They came to a split. "Now, which way?"

-x-

So I made it into double digits! Woohoo! I took a break from writing Fairy Tail to focus on some other things so I'm still working on chapter fifteen.

Who's read chapter 334? I think my soul broke.

On a little side note. I found out that a character in Mashima's Rave Master was named Reina. I did not know that! Now it's kinda like a little tribute... or ripoff.

We wrap up the Lullaby arc next chapter and then we'll dive into the S-class mission arc. Fun fun.

Reviews and constructive criticism are most appreciated. Flames are not. Thanks so much for all of the support, it means a lot.

See ya in chapter eleven!
