The War Chapter Twelve

Lucy rushed through the forest running alone. Virgo went back to allow Lucy to conserve her strength. Lucy could hear feet running behind. She was being followed but she couldn't stop. She couldn't get caught and she couldn't waste time fighting stupid wizards. Not at a time like this. Fairy Tail needed her to get through and find the other guilds she had no time to waste.

Lucy bolted over a branch and rushed up a tree letting the men pass beyond her. There were maybe ten of them and she needed to keep going. She had to make it to the train. She couldn't fail.

She bolted down the tree rushing towards the train station her heart pounding. She saw the train starting to pull out of the station and she could see some members of Letum Mars on the roof. She cursed to herself and inspected the train as its speed grew. She'd have to run for it.

She bolted for the train rushing to grab a hold. She grabbed it as her feet couldn't keep up. She struggled to pull herself up on the steps and she sat there panting. She had to find a way to make it to Blue Pegasus. They had to have gotten the message, right?

Lucy slowly got up and looked inside the train. She gasped it was transporting a whole fleet of Letum Mars away from Fairy Tail? She couldn't let them make it that was for sure. She'd have to find a way to stop the train or disconnect the cars which meant she'd have to get to the front of the train. She was thankful she had jumped on the back car and not in the middle which would have made things worse. She started climbing up the side peering over the roof seeing a member of Letum Mars walking along the roof of the moving train.

She pulled out her whip and climbed on top as the member was turned the other way. She was shaking as she used her whip to grab his foot and toss him off the top of the train. Her heart was racing as she looked down the train. Twelve cars and eleven more wizards. She'd need help. She looked at her keys looking for someone to help. She needed stealth. She needed Sagittarius. She called him out quietly and Sagittarius was about to great her warmly when noticing her trying to keep him quiet.

"I need you to take them out quietly and unnoticed," she said hoping they'd continue not looking in her direction long enough for Saggitarius to take aim.

"Moshi moshi of course," he said pulling out his bow and arrows. He took aim and shot just as the first member turned towards them. They landed hard against the roof and Lucy could hear people yelling below. She needed to get to the front now!

She bolted forwards jumping from car to car not having the time to let her fear flood her senses. She made it to the front of the train jumping down into the coal of the train. The engineer turned to her frightened at first but then saw the Fairy Tail insignia on her hand.

"Fairy Tail?" he asked.

"Yes," she said getting up.

"I'm saved! Where's the dragon slayer?"

"Not here,"

"What about the red head or the ice guy?"

"I'm all you've got," The man looked sadly.

"I just got the blonde! I'm doomed!" he cried out in despair. Lucy glared at him but hearing people coming towards them she realized they needed to disconnect the train and if she could derail it or something.

"How do we disconnect the cars?" Lucy asked.

"There's a pin but it's not something someone like you could pull." The engineer said.

"I'll manage," she said walking towards the end of the train. She looked down at the ground passing below her as she looked at the pin in its hole. It was really wedged in. She took a deep breath trying to pull it up with her eyes closed but it wouldn't budge. Her heart was pounding so fast she could barley think. She tried to kick it but nothing worked. She really wished Natsu was there. He could just burn it and it would melt but then again he'd be so motion sick he probably wouldn't be able to. In reality anyone but her could probably break it. Then Lucy smiled remembering the spirit she needed.

She grabbed the Demon key calling him forth for the first time. The rest of the time he just came of his own free will.

"Damned can you burn this?" Lucy asked pointing at the pin holding the cars together.

"You insult me Master," Damned said burning it apart. "Now what about them?" Damned asked with an evil grin.

"Well we can't let them get back to Fairy Tail can we?" Lucy asked catching his drift.

"Give me five minutes," Damned smiled his body morphing into his demon form.

"You've got three," Lucy said starting back to the engineer as Damned jumped the distance to the cars as they started drifted farther back. Lucy could hear the ruckus behind her as Damned had his fun burning some of his extra energy off. The engineer beamed at her.

"I didn't know you had such powerful spirits," he said. Lucy shrugged sitting down trying to relax her still racing.

"Well he's a demon to be exact," Lucy said peeking her right eye open to see the engineer's face go pale. She smirked as Damned walked over after jumping on the back of the train. He startled Lucy.

"I only took two," he smiled back in his human form. Lucy could smell fire and wanted to look back. Damned pushed her down. "Nothing a lady should see anyways. Let's just say they won't be anywhere anytime soon." He smiled. Lucy could almost forget he was a demon at times but this reminded her he still wasn't as human as he seemed.

"How long until we reach the station?" Lucy asked.

"Maybe an hour," the engineer said. "Thank you,"

"It's what Fairy Tail does," she smiled relaxing again as Damned sat watch on top of the train.

"Oh, Sagittarius told me to tell you he still doesn't like me and he went back." Lucy nodded at Damned trying to relax and conserve her power. She had a feeling she'd end up in another fight soon enough.

Natsu was back and everyone scrambled to pull together resources as others dealt with the sleeping enemy. They didn't like doing it that way but what choice did they have. Lucy had bought them an advantage and they had to use. Natsu didn't partake he wanted to try and close the tunnel but Levy wanted to gather supplies first.

"No!" Natsu said. "If they find you, they find the hole and they'll get in here. We can't let them do that!"

"We need supplies, Natsu." Levy said. "We have less than a week's worth."

"Why didn't you tell Lucy?"

"Because she doesn't need to become carless in her haste" Natsu felt it was more and more hopeless. He was worried sick about Lucy. He never let her go on a mission alone and now she was on the most dangerous mission he could think of.

"We need to close the hole before they find it." Natsu said finally.

"I won't go alone." Levy said.

"I don't care Levy. You're not going. We're closing the hole!"

"What's going on Salamander? Why are you yelling at Levy?" Gajeel asked walking over.

"She wants to go through the hole, travel through the surrounded town, get supplies, bring it back and then close the hole!" Natsu growled.

"That's a lot to do Levy and the place is surrounded." Gajeel started.

"Thank you," Natsu said relieved.

"But I'll go with you," Gajeel announced.

"What!" Natsu yelled.

"Let's go bookworm," Gajeel said.

"Master," yelled hoping for backup but he was nowhere to be seen. He was probably trying to help manage the battle that had started again outside. Natsu shook his head.

"Gajeel," Natsu warned. "You iron eating moron you're going to get us all killed!"

"Salamander stop worrying. I'm a dragon slayer and there's a lot of iron around with Levy if I need it."

"How…" Gajeel just climbed in after Levy and left. They were insane! They were going to get killed! Natsu took out his anger on the unsuspecting enemies outside.

Levy and Gajeel got out looking around not seeing any wizards. They slowly crept towards the market and snuck in a shop. The people inside were serving members of Letum Mars not like they had a choice.

Gajeel hoped they didn't notice them but they did and they were surrounded.

"Great," Gajeel said.

"Natsu was right, this is harder than I thought." Levy said.

"Just stay close. I don't want to lose someone so small." Gajeel said. Levy pulled out her pen and prepared to fight. Gajeel smiled preparing to fight his way out. Gajeel grinned. He was going to enjoy this war or at least that's what he thought before he knew the blackness of Letum Mars.
