I Do Not Own Fairy Tail.
Apparently a small army unit had broken in but had yet to return. And judging by those fallen soldiers and broken weapons on the floor they must have encountered the Eisenwald guild. They were right on the money...
"Hahaha! So you did come you Fairy Tail flies!"
There was the whole Eisenwald guild in front of them. They all had smirks on their faces as they looked at the Fairy Tail members. They were waiting in front of a train, probably the one they hijacked.
"There's so many!" Lucy said, she was starting to get scared while she was carried Natsu, he still hasn't recovered from his motion sickness on the magic mobile.
"There's no need to be scared. Light always triumphs over darkness." The female ice wizard smiled happily. A member laughed at her, "Keep talking! Because that's all you'll be doing before we're done with you!"
"Keep talking you weaklings. Because that's all you'll be doing before we're done with you!" She said flatly with narrowed eyes.
"Why you!" The member growled while she merely stuck her tongue out.
"You fiend! I take it you're Erigor?" Erza asked the person sitting on top of the train. Erigor was an extremely tall man with silver hair, which is held pointing upwards in spiky strands on top of his head, but hangs down to the left of his face in a distinctive tuft, sometimes partially covering it, and reaching down to his shoulders. His eyes were dark and he seemed to lack eyebrows. His eyes are circled by dark lines and each of them has a simple tattoo right below it, consisting of a pointed line going down vertically, crossed with two more larger horizontal lines. He was bare chested which showed the upper part of his body, which is similarly tattooed but with much larger, intricate and blue-colored motifs which take on spiraling forms. Then his lower body was covered with a very long worn skirt that looked like a hakama. He carried a big scythe on his back.
He chuckled at her question. Lucy took Natsu's arm off of her thinking he could finally stand on his own. Unfortunately, he fell on the floor. The blonde squeaked and got on her knees and began shaking him, "Come on Natsu! We need you help!"
"Good luck! But with a train, magic mobile and you. It's a motion sickness triple combo!" The blue feline said bluntly.
"I am not a vehicle!" Lucy protested.
"Hey you! It's your fault I got in trouble with Erigor! Get up!" One of the members said. He was probably the one who attacked Natsu in the first place. He was the only member Fairy Tail had messed with so far!
Karissa opened her mouth but before she barked anything at the man. Gray gave her a look that said 'don't say anything!'. She rolled her eyes and held her tongue. 'Stupid Eisenwald dude... It's your own damn fault! You picked a fight with Natsu!'
"What is your aim?! What are you planning to do with the Lullaby!?" Erza demanded to know.
Erigor smirked, "Oh? You haven't heard yet?" He flew up into the air and floated. "What do all train stations have?"
Lucy gasped and watched as Erigor floated in the air without a care in the world. "He flew!"
"It's wind magic!"
Karissa narrowed her eyes at the silvered haired man, she watched him lande on top of a pole speaker. She clenched her fists, 'He has the same kind of magic as me... And he uses it for assassination jobs... Disgusting...'
Erza guessed he was planning to broadcast the song. He started explaining that if he played the flute when the speakers are at a high volume. He'd kill a load people who would hear the melody of death.
"What?!" Karissa shouted, she took a step forward while letting out small breeze of wind. Gray placed a hand over her mouth and told her to calm down close to her ear. She inhaled, she took Gray's hand and slowly took it off her mouth as she exhaled. She didn't pay attention to whatever he said next since it did not interest her in least. All she wanted was to stop him from killing people... Life was a precious thing!
-XD-
"So sorry flies." Ponytail man said while crouching down. He gave them a twisted look, "You're going to the afterlife without getting to witness the age of darkness!" A bunch of shadows raced across the floor then shot up into the air in form of fists. But then Natsu suddenly got up and blocked the attack by hitting it away with his fire.
The man looked surprised, "You?!"
"I knew I recognized that voice." Natsu said with a grin.
"Nice recovery!"
"Oh? Wow! Looks like we've got ourselves a party here huh?!"
Lucy looked at him weirdly, she shook her head and pointed at the dark guild. "No! Natsu! These are the guys we have to fight!"
I patted her shoulder with a smirk. "I think he knows that."
He punched his fist into his palm with a grin. "Like I said it's a party!"
Erigor had disappeared. Oh, how wonderful!
"Natsu and Gray. Go! I need you to stop him!" Erza said with a serious look, well... when doesn't she have a serious look.
I sweat dropped as the two glared at each other behind her back. Oh! Her face changed! She turned around and looked at them with an angry look. "What did I say?!"
"Aye! Sir!" The boys said happily and ran off in fear.
I frowned, "Can I go too?"
"No."
I crossed my arms and pouted, "Fine..."
"They ran away!"
"They're going after Erigor!"
"I got it!" A member said whose head looked like a bee. He had these wires attached to his fingers, he attached the end of his wires at railing on a higher floor. He pulled himself up and left, the one controlling the shadows earlier decided to assist him in hopes of beating up Natsu for what he did. He left in a puddle of shadows.
"Can I go after them?" I asked again.
"No, Gray and Natsu will handle it!"
I threw my hands up in the air. "FINE!"
"Three girls against this many!?" Lucy panicked as she slowly took some steps back and I sighed. "Whoa chill newcomer."
"What will you girls do for us?!"
Beat you up.
"We'll pluck out your wings, you lousy flies!"
I don't have wings.
Erza summoned a sword, "If you insult the Fairy Tail guild again in my presence, I swear none of you will live to see tomorrow." She said while showing off her sword as a warning. I sighed again but this time it was more heavy. I shrugged, I opened a hand and dropped my fist in it.
The dark guild charged, "That's nothin' special!"
"We've got plenty of magic swords in Eisenwald!"
"Ice Make: Twin Rapier." Two slender, sharply pointed ice swords appeared in my hands. I got into a fighting stance and waited for them to come closer. Erza took the left and I took the wizards to the right. Once one of them was close enough and charged, I made a small whirlwind around my right sword and threw it at them. The whirlwind became bigger and enveloped some Eisenwald guys in it. During their small flight I ran towards them, I quickly threw my sword at the train behind them. I ran to my ice sword as fast I as could before they could touch the ground. I took out my sword and threw it at someone's face.
"Shatter!" I commanded, the sword exploded into pieces and many ice fragments landed in their faces, distracting them in the process.
"Sand Uprising!" With a gesture of my hands, sand began revolving around them. I watch carefully... then at the right moment I clenched my fists. A powerful blast of sand sends most members flying while the rest fell on the floor with broken weapons.
I coud hear Lucy complaining how she got sand in her eyes. She was amazed at how easily me and Erza took on these dark guild members. And of course, Happy was educating her about me and Titania.
I was suddenly hit in the face with a metal club, I didn't even flinch. I kicked the person back with my foot.I touched my face then I pulled my hand away and looked at my fingers. There was only a drop of blood on my finger. I still probably don't know how to perfect Weapon Fusion with my whole body. This kind of magic is only good for offense, defense not so much. It can only block weapon attacks, although it's useless against magic attacks.
"Ice Make: Snow Trident!"
A giant trident made of ice appeared in my hands. I looked behind me and yelped, I crouched just in time to dodge a sword. I thrust my trident towards them and scooped up two members in between the spaces and then threw them at the train. You know what? I'll just throw all of them in the train!
I dropped my trident purposely letting it shatter to the ground. I looked at my surroundings and saw a lot of them surrounding me. Well, to reach them I'd probably need something with a curve...
I slammed my fist in my palm, doing my ice make stance. "Ice Make: Freezing Scythe!"
An average ice scythe formed into my left hand. I extended my left arm in the air once it was done. I narrowed my eyes at them then jumped up and gripped my scythe tightly, I swung down as violently as I could, making a big hole in the floor.
I clicked my tongue in annoyance... I missed... Then suddenly I felt something move past me.
"Huh?" I blinked owlishly. The Eisenwald guys I was supposed to hit were already knocked out a couple feet away from me, weapons chopped into pieces and their hair cut off. I was confused, I looked behind me and saw a man who looked like a crab, he was holding scissors. I gave him a weird look when he wasn't looking.
"How the hell did he cut the weapons?!" I freaked. "Those are scissors!"
"Impressive." Erza complemented.
Lucy looked back with a hand behind her head. "Oh! Thanks! But it was no big deal!"
"That must be one of celestial spirits then..." I mumbled to myself. I looked away uninterested and focused on my enemies. There was still so many, It didn't even look like I did anything! I narrowed my eyes at them, "Geez... How many dark wizards does Eisenwald have anyway?"
Then suddenly a light was glowing behind me, curiously I glanced back again. It was Erza who was requipping! I noticed the males were staring at her... Perverts! So while they were distracted I used this opportunity to strike. I got into my ice make stance once again.
"Ice Make: Tsunami!" A wave of ice shot rapidly towards many Eisenwald members, freezing them in their place in my ice.
Erza was dressed in her Heaven's Wheel Armor. Her armor covered her chest with a large metal flower over it. A large billowing skirt that had metal plating on the upper part. Her stomach and neck were exposed and she had large metal wings behind her. She also had this metal headpiece with two small wings on the sides.
Pretty cool.
"Now! Dance my swords!" Erza commanded, her swords began spinning around her.
"They're all yours!" I shouted before running away from her targets.
"Circle sword!" She sent all her swords flying to all her opponents, and judging by the screams... It was pretty damaging.
I clapped happily with a lazy smile. "Way to go!" Then my lazy smile disappeared once I rolled my head back to glared at the remaining two. "Step right up."
The fat one took a step back out of fear. Heh, fat pig must be so scared since Fairy Tail is about to crush him. Loser. Although one of them had the guts to charge at Erza, even after witnessing her wonderful performance, in beating up his guild mates.
"Don't do it! Do you have any idea who that woman is?!"
With one simple slash of her sword, I watched as the guy fell after instantly being defeated. I chuckled and looked at the fat man.
"Queen of the Fairies, Titania Erza!"
"Now it's your turn..." I smiled darkly while slowly making my way there with a hand enveloped by sand.
He flinched, "Forget this! I'm outta here!" He cried while running away. I stare at him dumbfounded, I threw my hands in the air. Why did he come here in the first place if he was just going to run away like a coward?! I need my entertainment!
I sighed and threw my hood on. I shoved my hands in my pockets. I mumbled things incoherently as I walked back to Erza and Lucy.
"I would imagine he's going to look for Erigor. You should follow him."
"Who, me?!" Lucy exclaimed with a surprised look.
Erza made a scary face, which scared Lucy. Thus making her follow her orders and running off with Happy.
"What about me? What are your orders, miss?" I smirked.
"Go with Lucy."
"Yes, ma'am~" I sang and started running off in the direction Lucy went.
I stopped in my tracks.
...
...
...
... Problem is... She got so scared she ran off so quickly, where can I find her?
-XD-
Karissa walked down a hallway...
Went up some stairs...
Walked down another hallway...
Went down some stairs...
Walked down ANOTHER hallway...
Went up some stairs...
She threw off her hood in frustration. "GOOD GOD! Where did that girl go?!"
She ran her fingers in her hair, messing it up in the process. She stomped her foot on the ground, "I hate this place!" The young girl growled, she started running around while passing some doors. Where the heck was she?! She took a sharp turn, only to bump into somebody, trip and fall on top of that person. Her head was resting on their chest, judging by how flat it was, it wasn't a female. She really hoped with wasn't one of the guys who went after Gray and Natsu!
"Ow..." The female ice wizard groaned. She lifted her weight off the person with her eyes closed. She took a peek, her eyes widened and she sighed in relief. It was only Gray!
"Sorry Gray..." She apologized sheepishly.
He groaned a little, his back hurt a little from falling backwards. "Nah... It's alright. But can you..." He looked away with an uncomfortable look, his cheeks were slightly pink.
She made a confused sound. She looked down, her face then turned red. Good lord she wanted the ground to swallow her up! She just realized... She fell on a guy! Oh that embarrassed her so much! And seeing their position did not help at all!
"Gah!" She freaked and quickly got off of him.
She quickly threw on her hood and tried to calm down, and tried to retaining her normal color. She looked away and held out a hand to him. Gray was the same as he grabbed her hand and let her pull him up.
"S-Sorry... I was trying t-to find Lucy a-and...! I-I...!" She tried to explaining while she stuttered. Gray just ruffled her hair, to make her calm down and stop talking. "It's alright. We have more important things going on now."
"What?"
"Erigor is on his way to Clover. The conference of the guild masters is being held there. He's going to play the Lullaby flute there to kill them!"
Karissa's eyes widened. "Master...!"
Gray put his hands on her shoulder. "Come on, we gotta go tell Erza!"
"R-Right! We can't let him do that!"
"Come on!" He said before grabbing her arm.
-XD-
They found Erza on a lower floor questioning a man. The one that was foolish enough to attack after witnessing her beat up his comrades.
"Erza!"
The scarlet haired wizard looked up without letting go of the man's collar. She spotted the two ice wizards on a higher floor. "What are you two doing here? Gray you were supposed to he with Natsu and Karissa you were supposed to be with Lucy!"
"I couldn't find her." Karissa replied bluntly.
"We decided to split up." Gray said referring to Natsu. "Never mind that now! Listen! I just found out Eisenwald's real target is clover, the next town up! Erigor is headed towards the conference as we speak! He's planning to use the Lullaby to kill the guild masters!"
Erza glared at the man she was previously questioning while releasing a dangerous aura around her, "Why didn't you tell me?!"
"Eek!"
Gray grabbed Karissa by the waist, causing her to blink in confusion. Then she yelped once they jumped down to the lower floor. Once their feet were finally on the floor again, Gray let go of her and walked towards Erza. Leaving the startled girl behind.
"You could have warned me!" Karissa barked while following him.
Apparently there was problem, they couldn't get out of Oshibana station. Since the ace of Eisenwald trapped them inside a wind barrier. Karissa and Gray noticed that Erza was holding her arm. She said she had tried getting through the barrier but didn't succeed.
"Erza are you hurt?" Karissa inquired worriedly.
"Is your arm okay?" Gray asked too.
Erza simply ignored it by saying it was not important, and what was, is getting out of the wind barrier. After Erza thought for a while, she remembered that someone named Kage she heard of back at the pub was the one who broke Lullaby's seal. And since he was a dispeller, he could probably remove the barrier.
"He's gotta be the only left standing. Except for the fat one Lucy went after. Seemed like he wanted to beat up Natsu for what he did on train..."
"We have to find that man!" Erza said.
The three wizards ran off in search for Natsu and Kage.
-XD-
After hearing some rubbling (that was obviously caused by a certain fire wizard). They finally found Kage, he was already taken down by Natsu as expected of the dragon slayer. The three wizards quickly ran up the stairs.
"Natsu! Do no harm him! We need him alive!" Erza shouted.
"Can't you see he's already harmed?!" Karissa sweat dropped.
"Way to go you, fire freak!" Gray rolled his eyes.
Once they reached the top of the stairs, the two ice wizards stopped and watched as Erza jumped in the air while summoning one of her magic swords. Natsu's face became alarmed once she came closer to him, thinking she was after him. He rose up his hands in defense, "I don't what I did wrong but I'm sorry!" The pink haired wizard cried fearfully. She pierced her sword next to Kage's head after Natsu dodged.
She looked at him with a scary face. "You will dispel the wind barrier, and you will do so without complaint!"
The look fear on Kageyama's face made the female ice wizard's eyebrow rose up. A funny smile came on her face. 'That face though... He looked like he just pooped and peed himself!'
"Just do it man! This chick's a REAL monster!"
Gray snapped his head back at Natsu. "Shut up Natsu!"
"Understood?!"
Left with no other choice, "Fine..! I'll dispel it!"
Suddenly Kage's eyes widened in pain. Karissa narrowed her eyes at the place he placed a hand upon. His hand shook in front of his stomach, then out of no where a yellow magic circle appeared on him. A hand shoved it's way through his body!
Erza gasped in shock and backed away a bit.
"Kage!" Karissa's eyes widened. The moment the hand retreated, the shadow user's body fell down weakly. But before he could reach the floor the female ice mage moved just in time to catch the injured man. She looked up and saw the fat guy that previously ran away, was now trembling at what he just did.
Karissa pulled Kageyama's body away from him just in case he tried something else. He was pretty heavy... She supported his head with her hand while her other arm held him up. Kage's eyes were closed, but his face expressed he was in pain. Karissa clenched her teeth and she glared at the Eisenwald member who did this. Gray and Erza ran to Kage side, while Natsu just stood there shocked.
"No! He was our only way outta here!"
"Kage! Don't you dare die on us! We need your help, do you hear me?!"
"I think we're losin' him Erza!"
"Come on! Stay awake!" Karissa shook him lightly. The female ice wizard blinked after hearing teeth clenching. She looked at Natsu who's fists were shaking angrily. "How could you do that to one of your friends?!"
Erza and Gray looked up in surprise, his body surrounded itself in flames, "He's a member of your guild! He trusted you and you tried to kill him!" He yelled at the guy in the wall. The fat man got so scared at the sight of Natsu's glare that it made him retreat behind the walls with his magic. He wasn't going anywhere that's for sure.
Natsu ran towards the wall with a fist enveloped by fire. "How could you?!" He punched him through the wall with so much force that he sent him flying to the other wall.
"Is that how you dark guild members treat each other?!"
Karissa kept staring at Natsu with a blank face, then she looked at the guy he had just knocked out. She glared at him, but then her glare disappeared once she felt Kageyama being forcefully taken out of her arms. She looked back at Kage who was now in Erza's hands, Karissa was horrified by the way Erza treated him. She was shaking him violently!
"We can't let him die he's out only way out of here!"
Gray sweat dropped. "But there's no way he can use his magic in this condition...!" He tried to reason.
"If I force him to he will!"
"Erza! Don't be rough on him!" Karissa squeaked in concern. But Erza didn't listen she only shook him faster. Karissa heard some noise from behind her, she glanced behind her shoulder and saw Lucy and Happy. She merely gave them an exasperated look.
FINISH!
