The Most Bizarre Tail Chapter 7, a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure + Fairy Tail Crossover fanfic

AN: Welcome to chapter seven.

Welcome to 2021. Sorry about the delay, you all deserve better.

This one may be a bit shorter than my average due to wrapping up the arc, but I don't think that will be a problem.

Disclaimer: You know what I own.

Previously on The Most Bizarre Tail:

The Fairy Tail team found themselves trapped in Oshibana station by Erigor's Wind Wall spell, but learned that their enemy Kageyama had the ability to get them out. Unfortunately, their enemies knew this and had him taken out of the equation.

Fortunately, Happy had a golden Celestial Gate key that he had picked up from a previous mission and had given it to Lucy, who was able to call upon Virgo, a spirit with the ability to dig them out from underneath the wall and to freedom!

At the same time, it is shown that Tyson had been tailing after Erigor from the beginning and. He halted the reaper of Eisenwald and the two engaged in a brutal fight. Tyson had even unveiled his Stand [Mack Knife], which had the ability to give any part of its body the qualities of a steel blade.

After taking a deadly blow, Tyson's life flashes before his eyes and his origins are revealed. But despite the odds against him, Tyson pushes forward and defeats Erigor in bloody and dramatic fashion!

Now with the Reaper defeated and the Lullaby out of the wrong hands the day has been saved!

…. Or has it?

The excitement continues… now!

(Arc 1 Opening)

Play [Kekkai Sensen/ Blood Blockade Battlefront] Opening 1, "Hello World!" English Cover by [TYER]. Original by "Bump of Chicken"

Looking past the open gate, twisted face, the heated afternoon

To see that yesterday's repeating, written here, the proof existing

(We see Magnolia in the middle of the night, the Fairy Tail guild hall in the distance.)

(The sun slowly begins to rise, turning the formerly night sky into a beautiful gradient of orange and lavender.)

Brand new day, I've got to say, still I'm bound to losing my way

Keep believing, relying, on empty vows and meanings

(The sun rises higher, causing a beautiful shine to fill the screen as night transitions to day.)

(Abruptly, the screen goes white and then becomes somewhat grainy as it changes to a group photo of the sextet, posing and smiling. We zoom out to see it is one in a large series of photos containing different members of Fairy Tail. All of them were grouped together and arranged to resemble the guild symbol. The story title was written across it in a bold, graffiti font.)

Times I found myself retreating, somehow my fate decides what I'm to do

I'd do it well to keep on living, thinking back, it was embarrassing

(We see the six are walking through the streets of Magnolia, taking in all the sights and sampling the culture. Unseen by everyone else, they each glow with the same aura from the first chapter, with Michael's being red.)

(We then change to the end of that day, where the picture was taken in a public park. Onlookers gave them odd stares for their posing, but they were paid no heed.)

Even if I can't recall, if I just try, I know I'll find it here

(A series of photos show their morning routine in the bathroom. Washing the sleep out of their eyes, fixing up their hair/fur, and brushing their teeth. Tyson got looked at weirdly for using a filing tool.)

(Another series shows them enjoying breakfast. Tyson, Ray, Skitt, and Michael were speaking animatedly with each other, but Curtis and Jordan started yelling at each other for some reason or another until Michael glared at them. They look away, a bit of fear in their eyes. The other three sigh in exasperation.)

If I let go, you will know, why every breath I'd hold

(They now walk towards the guild, smiles and confidence present on their faces.)

Look up into the sky, you with darkness in your eyes

It's because you're standing here, that this light is never-ending

(We then see the shadow of a woman walking down the same path, carrying a large object above her with a single hand. Before we can see her face, it transitions to Michael's as he stares ahead, determination etched into his features.)

With the colors I have chosen, the world surrounds my empty self

With all the scars I've carried to escape this worthless hell

(The six now stand in a circle, watching in awe as the Fairy Tail wizards displayed their incredible abilities. Natsu breathing fire, Lucy summoning her spirits, and the various spells used by its many other mages.)

(It then transitions to them standing on a pillar which seemed to overlook all of Fiore.)

In the middle, you're the hero, the world bestows upon us all

(We catch a glimpse of a man holding a giant scythe, floating above a group of unsavory characters. Then quickly transitioning to the scene of a large, monstrous shadow with the figure of a man standing before it. The man turns around to show he is wearing a demonic mask over his face.)

Before the curtain calls, you're on the stage until the fall

(A shadow of a woman stands atop a stone pillar. She spreads her arms out and a flock of some sort of bird is summoned that rush towards the screen.)

What can I do? Pretending there's no pothole inside me

(There is a close up of Michael's fist as he clenches it in determination.)

Hello, hey there, I am waiting

(The camera snaps to his upper half as he poses. His left arm was raised to shoulder height, elbow bent, and palm facing upwards. His right arm bent in front of him with his palm facing forward. [Burner Heart] appeared next to him, fists raised and ready to fight. Ray was shown with her arms crossed in front of her body, with her hands splayed open. [Storm Rider] hovered behind her. Curtis was leaning back with his chin on his right shoulder, the arm bent so his right hand was on his head while his left hand clutched his right shoulder. [Hazy Winter] was behind him, arms extended and fingers splayed as if it were about to use its abilities. Jordan had his right fist by his face while his left hand was open and his arm was bent as if he was about to receive something. [Crocodile Rock] was next to him, both fists sticking out as if he was double punching something, its mouth was open as if it was roaring. Skitt bent his knees somewhat before sticking his left arm up and his right arm down, in a position that formed a diagonal line. His [Neon Tiger] suit appeared behind him, fists clenched as it charged light energy. Tyson cocked his hip leftward, reaching his arms out with his left fingers pointing down and his right pointing up. [Mack Knife] appeared next to him, placing his left arm in the crook of his right and extending its fin blades.)

Hello, hey there, I am waiting

(The camera pans out to reveal the rest of Fairy Tail behind them)

(Shadows of the team zoom by as we close in on Michael. He brings his right arm up showing the Fairy Tail symbol on his palm, which overtakes the screen)

The Most Bizarre Tail

Chapter 7: The Strongest Team! We Are Fairy Tail! ! !

The Railway:

"Hnng!... That oughta do it…"

After defeating Erigor, Tyson finally took the time to tend to his own wounds. Namely, the large stab wound next to his shoulder.

Fortunately, Tyson was more resourceful than he looked.

He had taken Erigor's scarf and, after stripping his upper body, had [Mack Knife] wrap it around his chest as a bandage.

The stab wound seemed to have killed the feeling in his right arm, so it was just hanging uselessly at the moment.

Without his shirt and jacket, it could be seen that his build was much like Gray's, being lean but muscular. He also had several tattoos. One that resembled a ring of barbed wire round his neck, a pair of wings that went across his pectorals, and taking up a majority of his back was a tattoo of two black and white sharks swimming in a way that made them resemble the ying-yang symbol. Another noteworthy aspect was how, upon closer look, his body was littered with scars of all kinds. Mostly scars from cutting weapons such as knives, but there were also several scars from healed gunshots and even a couple of burn scars.

The greenette grumbled as he saw the tears in both of his shirts, "Well, I'll give ya some credit, Windbag," He stuffed the blue shirt into his pants while [Mack Knife] helped him get his button up on, "Ya might've failed to kill me, but ya did damage my favorite, and currently only, outfit. So… at the very least ya managed to irritate me," He then picked up the remains of Erigor's busted scythe and walked over to the Reaper's unconscious body, using the former weapon as a walking stick, "I mean, if I were to compare ya to somethin', you'd be like the first soldier to die durin' a war and his only achievement durin' it was shootin' off his enemy's helmet."

He then crouched as best as he could next to Erigor's head, before grabbing him by the hair and lifting up his head, "Now I'm gonna make somethin' clear,'' He spoke with a scowl, "Were we back on my home turf… I'da just killed ya. Like my Boss once told me, some people out there don't deserve to be alive, and I get the sense that you and your flunkies might fall under that particular category."

Surprisingly, his features then softened a bit, "... But fortunately for you… our Boss is the kind of person who fine with certain compromises…"

"So his head just… exploded?" Skitt asked this question as he made the "explosion" gesture with his paws.

The group was currently on a train back to Magnolia, right after their first job.

The questionable details about what happened in Asphodel had left them in silence for a large portion of the trip. But Skitt's innocent questions were starting to slowly bring them back to a sense of normalcy.

Jordan pointed at his head, "Right off his neck. It had to have been instant, he still had the same look on his face even in the end."

Skitt looked on in awe while Tyson grimaced, "Sheesh, don't know what's worse. The possibility of the zombie apocalypse happenin' on this world, or you experiencin' somethin' right outta 'Suicide Squad'."

"Of course that's your first comparison." Ray gave the greenette a sidelong look.

"Shoot me all the looks ya want Ray, you can't say I'm wrong 'bout the comparison," Tyson pointed out, "... Besides that movie was a six outta ten. Stuff coulda been done better, but it wasn't total garbage."

"Margot Robbie was pretty hot though," Curtis spoke offhandedly with a cigarette between his fingers.

"Anythin' with a pair 'o tits and a skirt is hot to ya," Tyson glowered.

Jordan was about to add on to that, but then he looked over to his right, and saw Michael staring up at the ceiling of the train car, "... Something wrong?" His question garnered the attention of the others.

"...When you choose the hard things, it takes longer than you think to get it done, and if you choose the hard thing and have a very particular way you want to do them and are uncompromising in that, then sometimes it takes even longer," He then sat up and faced his team, "Our beliefs in the methods we use to handle Passione members and other enemies are ironclad, are they not?"

The team shared a look with each other. Where was their leader going with this?

"Well yeah," Curtis shrugged, "They've pretty much bought off every cop, judge, and attorney in the city, those they didn't are either too scared or too dead to do anything, so there's no way to get them arrested. Even then, because most of them use their Stands to commit their crimes, there is no existing evidence that they did anything, so even if arrested, the authorities have no legal reason to hold or imprison any of them. Coupled with the necessity of not allowing them to know our identities or abilities…" He paused to exhale another puff of smoke and then brought the cigarette butt to the heel of his boot in order to snuff it out.

The next words he spoke left his mouth casually. So casually you would believe he was talking about the weather or current events.

"... We kill them."

Kill.

That's a word that gets thrown about and used so often that people have forgotten what it truly means.

People say things like "Die!" or "I'm gonna kill you!" like it's casual conversation, but the truth is many don't know the real meaning of the word.

To kill something means to end it completely. To take away all it has and to prevent it from becoming all that it could.

To kill a living being would mean to look them in the eye, knowing that you currently held their life in your hand, and be willing and able to snuff that life out with no regret and no second thought. Anyone can say that they are capable of the act, but the truth is most people will never mean it.

The word kill is used so casually. But the truth is, the only people who use the word like that are those who are ignorant of what death is, and those who know it all too well.

And this team was not ignorant.

"Yes. Well… I have been thinking that, until further notice, we should tighten our morals and change our stance on the matter."

The eyes of all the team members widened in surprise at their leader's suggestion. Ray's were the widest.

"... So no killin' the bad guys is whatcha sayin', right?" Tyson clenched his hands.

"Not unless you deem the situation desperate," Michael put his fist to his cheek and gazed out the window, "It's a whole new world people. We don't know all of the rules, so it's better to play it safe. All of you are too important to me and this team to be lost."

Sniffle…

Hearing that, he turned back towards his friends, only to see them with comically sad and teary eyes, "... Uh… guys?"

"YOU'RE THE BESTEST BOSS EVER!"

Skitt jumped into Michael's arms, embracing him in as big a hug as he could.

The sight was cute… but then The rest of the team dogpiled him at once, sending them all to the floor.

"Ah guys come on! Seriously! Not in public! NOT IN PUBLIC!"

"... That man is willin' to do a lot for us. He made us better than we thought we could've. He didn't seek us out 'cause we were tough, we got tough because he believed that we could. Somethin' I doubt you'd ever understand."

Tyson then leveled another serious glare at the fallen Reaper.

ゴ

"So count yourself lucky that I respect that man, more than I hate you."

...

….

…..

Tyson kept staring at Erigor for a few good seconds, before dropping the man's head and leveling his gaze ahead, looking as if he was in disbelief of his own actions.

"... The fuck am I even sayin' this for? You're unconscious, you can't even hear me. 'Sides, what good does tellin' you about my business do for me in the first place?" He pinched the bridge of his nose, "This stupid dimension's fuckin' me up."

BOOM! ! !

A heavy explosion went off behind Tyson, nearly knocking him off his feet. Turning around, he saw a familiar head of pink hair and his blue cat had landed. He ignited his fists and stood up ready for battle.

"Alright Erigor! I'm ready to turn you to cinders! So bring it on!"

… But his battle-ready smile died as he saw his target's beaten form several yards away, "... Oh."

"Yeah… kinda beat 'cha to the first punch man… and then every punch that came after," Tyson sheepishly scratched his cheek.

"Are you kidding me?!" Happy yelled as he was on his knees, sweating and panting in exhaustion, "I flew at full speed this whole time for nothing?! I demand a do-over!"

While they conversed, none of them noticed how the eyes on the Lullaby flute glowed a sinister purple color, or how a small plume of black smoke wafted from the mouth area…

"Natsu! Tyson!"

And their attention was once again pulled elsewhere as their friends had finally caught up to them, Lucy calling out as the Magic-Mobile pulled up to their location and their three fliers had landed in safe spots.

"S'up guys!" Tyson greeted them with a smile before gesturing to Erigor, "First real fight since I got here and I crushed it! Whaddya think?"

Michael made his way over and placed a hand on the greenette's good shoulder, "Never doubted you for a second."

His words brought a wide and proud smile to Tyson's face.

Jordan was right beside him, "Well done Tyson."

The rest of the recent arrivals gave similar praises for his victory, barring two.

Gray simply because he was busy snickering at Natsu's depressed face, and Kageyama, who looked on in shock and disbelief as he saw his leader lying defeated on the ground.

'N-No way… Erigor never loses,' He leveled his gaze at Tyson, 'And he was beaten by a guy nobody's even ever heard of?'

Erza slowly took the S.E. plug off her wrist. But as she started to step off the magic vehicle, she suddenly clutched her throbbing head. The knight groaned and was close to falling over.

Curtis noticed this, and saw a moment where he could sweep a beautiful woman off her feet. But by the time he took a step, Michael was already there by her side and keeping her steady, 'Damn…'

"Are you alright?" The brunette asked.

"Y-Yeah, don't worry about me." Erza replied, as Michael started to walk her towards Natsu. "I just need to catch my breath."

"This guy didn't give you any trouble did he?" Curtis asked as he looked down at Erigor.

"Pfft," Tyson made the noise with his mouth, "Guy was a mook. No real challenge-OW!" His grandstanding was interrupted as Ray poked him in the chest, "Not cool…"

"Jeez, you really put this guy through the wringer, didn't you?" Gray remarked as he looked over the body, "... Why does he only have six fingers?"

"Don't ask." Was Tyson's quick response. Before noticing that Erza had stepped before him.

"As the others have said, excellent work on you victory," The redheaded warrior said gratefully, before her expression turned a bit down, "I'll admit, when I was introduced to you earlier, with your mannerisms and speaking habits, I had assumed you to be no better than a common thug," Her smile returned, "But I'm grateful you proved me wrong."

To her slight surprise, Tyson shrugged — well "half" shrugged, one good arm remember?— before responding, "Eh, no big deal. You ain't the first and ya definitely ain't gonna be the last. 'Sides, the bad guys got their asses kicked, the evil flute's been secured, and the old guys at that meetin' are safe. Let's just leave it at that, 'kay?"

"... Alright then," Erza chose to leave it at that, and then gave Tyson a friendly pat on the shoulder, his injured one unfortunately, causing to comically tear up in pain. She then turned back toward the group, "Anyway, since we are here already, I think we should stop by the guild master's conference to inform them on what's happened and how to properly dispose of the lullaby flute."

Jordan sighed heavily, "Fine by me. I never understood why dangerous shit like this gets sealed away when it's a lot easier to just destroy it."

No one noticed how Gray's fist clenched when he heard that. But right then, the sound of a roaring engine filled their ears. And they were all shocked to see Kageyama behind the wheel of their Magic-Mobile.

"Kage?!" Erza exclaimed, just as Kageyama started to race down the tracks. Michael quickly grabbed Tyson and Erza and dove out of the vehicle's path.

In a split second while on the floor, Erza met Michael's deep blue eyes as he spoke, "Are you okay?"

"...Yes," She spoke after a split-second of hesitation.

"What do you think you're doing?!" Gray shouted after the shadow mage.

"The Lullaby is mine now!" Kageyama laughed as one of his shadows grabbed the flute, "Shouldn't have let your guard down you lousy flies! Hahahahaha!" His mocking laughs echoed as he made his getaway and left our heroes to gape after him.

"THAT JERK! ! !" Natsu yelled as he set himself on fire.

"This is how he pays us back for saving his life?!" Lucy shook her fist at him.

"Son of a bitch, I knew we should've restrained him!" Curtis chastised himself.

"AFTER HIM!" Erza commanded as they all took off down the tracks.

"I get first dibs when we get 'im!" Tyson growled, "I DID NOT TAKE A FUCKIN' SCYTHE TO THE CHEST JUST TO HAVE MY WIN STOLEN BY SOME MOTHERFUCKER WHOSE HAIR MAKES 'IM LOOK LIKE A PINEAPPLE! ! !"

Clover Town, Night Time:

Night had fallen and the moon had risen by the time Kageyama made it to Clover Town. Though worn out from his injuries and using what little magic he had left to power the Magic-Mobile, he had made it towards the guild master's meeting hall.

'Good, it looks like none of the masters have left yet. Surely they'll be able to hear Lullaby's song from this distance,' He managed a smirk, 'Finally, their time has come…'

Kageyama then froze and was shaken from his thoughts as he felt a hand on his shoulder. As he turned around, fearing he had been caught, that same hand then poked his cheek. He spun around to see Makarov, master of Fairy Tail, sitting right behind him.

"Are you alright young man?" He asked kindly, "You shouldn't be wandering around out here in your condition."

"O-Oh, I'm fine… Why're you out here?"

"Oh just taking in the night air."

In truth, the meetings had gotten too stale for his tastes. And no longer feeling the need to worry about certain people reducing a city to a glass floor with their new and more responsible recruits joining them, he had planned to kill time with the help of some rather explicit material he had brought with him. But he obviously wasn't going to say that.

Meanwhile, Kageyama was in a bit of a panic, 'Shit! I've seen this guy before, he's Fairy Tail's master! Why do I keep running into flies today?!' But just as quickly, he saw an opportunity. "U-Uh excuse me." He asked timidly.

"Hrm?" Makarov was about to leave, but stopped as he heard the question.

"Care to hear a song?" Kageyama asked as he raised the flute towards his lips, "They uh, wouldn't let me play my flute while I was in the hospital. And it would mean a lot to be allowed to play for someone again."

"That's one creepy looking flute kid." Makarov said, giving the flute a wary look.

"It may look creepy, but it actually makes a beautiful sound." Kageyama explained with a smile.

"... Well, I should be going… but I suppose one song couldn't hurt."

"Oh thank you very much, sir!" 'I WIN! ! !'

At the same time some ways behind them, the gang had finally caught up.

"Gah… that sucked." Tyson panted heavily.

"There he is!" Gray pointed at Kageyama.

Immediately, Tyson recovered, "Finally!" He started stomping over, "I'm gonna rip that stupid ponytail off and shove it up his-!"

"Shhh!"

Out of nowhere, Master Bob of Blue Pegasus popped in and blocked their path, "Just watch, we're just about to get to the good part."

"Oh good God what the Hell is that?!" Curtis flinched at the man in drag. He was joined by the other males in the group as the shorter man started giving them all flirty looks.

"My my, aren't you boys all delectably adorable~."

"Uh… who is that?" Skitt asked, getting his first line this episode.

"Master Bob of the Blue Pegasus guild." Erza explained.

"Oh Erza honey, you have really filled out since we last met."

"This guy? Really?" Lucy didn't believe it.

"Please, listen carefully." Kageyama then brought the flute close to his mouth and he was about to play. 'This is it.' He thought in victory.

"No!" Exclaimed Erza. But before anybody could make a move, they were stopped yet again, this time by master Goldmine.

"Ya mind keeping it down? We're about to get to the good part."

"And that right there is Guild Master Goldmine from Quatro Cerberus." Erza told them. Lucy was astonished, but Michael just looked on.

"What are we waiting for?" He said quietly.

But right before he could make contact, he suddenly remembered the vituperative words of his guildmates.

'Who'd ever wanna join a legal guild anyway? They're all garbage!'

'They all talk big but they're complete weaklings!'

'Lullaby's song will be our revenge against those who stripped us of our rights and forced us into darkness!'

And he listened and believed all of that… but then came the words of his supposed enemies.

'Killing people won't give you your rights back!'

'The world may be a shitty place, but you're the only one I hear bitchin' about it.'

'Life may suck sometimes but it's no use complaining about it. You and your Eisenwald pals can still look for the positives in life.'

'Kageyama, pull yourself together!'

'That man trusted you… Is this how loyalty works in your Dark Guilds?'

"Well?" Makarov asked, "I'm waiting."

Kageyama was lost in his own head. He had the flute and Makarov right where he wanted him! He just needed to play it. One song and he would change everything!

"... Nothing's going to change."

Kageyama's eyes snapped open at the short master's statement, as if the old man was reading his mind. He then turned back towards Kageyama and everyone else that was watching from afar heard his words.

"It's a fact that those who are weak will remain weak forever, but weakness is not a sin as humans are born weak to begin with. When we are alone we feel scared and insecure; but that is why we form guilds. And why we have friends, bordering on family," He turned back towards Kage as he lowered the flute, "When we're together with other people, it's easier to be strong and see things more positively. And while those who are clumsy may stumble more than others and it may take longer to reach their destination, as long as we maintain our faith in the future, we continue to march on as our inner strength emerges on it's own. But we have to choose that path, and pledge to live our lives to the fullest. That's how you'll be able to smile and live strong," He gave off a big smirk, "Without having to depend on that silly flute, of course."

A wind blew and Kageyama trembled.

Tears fell from Kageyama's eyes, as he collapsed to his knees. He hung his head in shame before Makarov., "I surrender."

"Master!" All the Fairy Tail mages yelled, as they ran towards Makarov.

"WHAT!? When did you all get here?!" Makarov exclaimed in shock, his eyes bulging.

"You're amazing, Master!" Erza said, as she hugged Makarov. "Your words touched me!" Makarov grunted in pain, as his head slammed against Erza's armored chest.

"You're awesome Gramps!" Natsu said with a grin, as he patted Makarov's head.

"Stop. Doing. That." Makarov said, his eyes narrowed dangerously.

"Well I guess that settles everything." Gray said, putting his hands in his pockets.

"Gotta admit, he certainly has a way with words," Jordan turned towards Michael, "Almost reminds me of you."

Meanwhile, the red-coated leader was thinking to himself, 'We're all stronger together…' He gazed at his teammates, Ray and Curtis were helping Tyson walk, and Skitt was with Lucy as they comforted Kageyama. The brunette couldn't help but smile, 'I know that much for certain.'

But the joviality was short-lived, as suddenly everyone stopped when a menacing laugh sounded next to Kageyama. Everyone present looked to see Lullaby oozing a thick black smoke from the skull on the end of the flute.

"I'VE GROWN TIRED OF YOU COWARDS AND YOUR ANTICS!"

"... We all heard the flute talkin' right?" Tyson asked worriedly.

"Yes." Was the response from everyone.

"... Was really hopin' the pain was gettin' to my head there."

"I CAN NO LONGER HOLD BACK! I SHALL DEVOUR YOU ALL MYSELF!"

Everyone watched as the smoke began to form a massive body, that towered over all the mages present. The smoke then began to materialize and become solid. What the smoke formed shocked everyone. A massive tree-like monster with three glowing red eyes loomed over the mages.

"I WILL FEAST UPON YOUR PITIFUL SOULS! ! !"

In two words, Tyson summarized everyone's thoughts perfectly.

"Oh SHIT! ! ! ! !"

(Eye-Catch)

We are shown an old photo of the meeting hall.

"THAT THING IS GIGANTIC!" Lucy shrieked.

"WAY TO STATE THE OBVIOUS!" Happy screamed back.

"What the Hell is that thing?!" Kageyama asked, as he stared at the monster towering over them. "Erigor never mentioned anything about this!"

"Oh my...this has gotten rather serious." Bob said, covering his mouth with his hand.

"This is the true form of Lullaby." Goldmine stated, as he broke out in a cold sweat, "Made from forbidden black magic, it's a demon from the book of Zeref."

Inside the conference building, all those inside were panicking at the sight of the giant demonic monster. But one set of eyes glared harshly and determined, before their owner dashed for the exit.

Back at the action, Michael looked back towards the group, "Who's Zeref? Some wizard?"

"Oh he's more than just some wizard darling," Bob spoke, while Michael forced himself to maintain a straight face while his body violently shuddered, "Zeref is known throughout all of Earthland as one of the most evil and powerful wizards ever known. I never thought I'd ever lay my own two eyes on any part of his dark legacy."

An arrogant and vile expression was on the demon's face as it glowered down at it's targets, "NOW THEN! WHICH OF THESE DELECTABLE SOULS SHOULD I DINE ON FIRST?!"

"What was that?!" Natsu yelled, as he glared at the demon.

ゴ

… Before turning to Gray, "Do you think souls taste good?"

Nearly everyone face-faulted despite the situation.

"HOW WOULD I KNOW?!" Gray yelled, as he smacked Natsu upside the head.

"QUIT THINKING ABOUT FOOD FOR ONE DAMN MINUTE! !" Jordan gave him a good hit too.

Erza then turned towards the group. "Natsu! Gray! Get everyone to safety!" she ordered, to which the two greatly disregarded.

"Who put you in charge?!" demanded Natsu.

"Yeah you're not the boss of us!" Gray said. Though both of them froze as they felt a source of anger nearby. And it wasn't coming from Erza. They turned and saw that Michael was surrounded by a dark aura and glaring at them.

"Go."

"Aye-Aye!" And both ran off with their Happy personas. While Lucy sighed out of exasperation with their idiocy, Erza was surprised that someone other than Makarov and herself could scare the two back in line.

But he also caught the attention of something else.

Lullaby looked down towards the humans whose souls it intended to consume. It could sense the energy within souls to determine which ones would be worth eating. It "judged the flavor" so to speak.

And one stood out above all the others. Even above the ones referred to as guild masters.

It was the one human in the red coat. The sheer potency of his soul was unlike anything it had felt before in the centuries of its existence. And now that it gave its attention to him, it also felt that the four humans and feline creature closest to him gave off similar feelings. Not quite as potent as the first one, but still, it had never felt such soul energy before!

It was… intoxicating.

"YOU…" To the surprise of those present, it actually pointed towards Michael, "YOUR SOUL IS DIFFERENT FROM THE REST. SO MUCH POWER… SO MUCH POTENTIAL! YOU ARE A MORSEL I HAVE NEVER FOUND BEFORE!" It's seemingly permanent smile somehow grew wider, "I WILL ENJOY FEASTING UPON YOU!"

No one could have expected this. A lone human had been called out by a centuries-old demon.

His reaction?

He simply turned towards his team, and issued orders calmly, like a surgeon in an operating theater, "Ray, Tyson, stick with Makarov and the other guild masters, the rest of us will handle this."

While Ray nodded, Tyson seemed hesitant, "B-But Boss, I can still-!" But he was silenced as Michael set his sights upon him. Not out of anger, but understanding.

"I know… But not while you're hurt."

Tyson gritted his teeth in frustration, before calming down and accepting the circumstances. A small grin then adorned his face, "Give it some for the both of us."

He and Ray then ran off to where the masters had gathered. When they approached, they heard Lucy and Happy speaking, "I know that there's seven of them but can they really defeat Lullaby on their own?"

"If you're that worried shouldn't you help them out?"

"I mean I would… but none of my spirits are available right now so I'd probably only get in the way."

"Sounds like you're chickening out."

"Seriously, least I've got a janky arm, what's your real excuse?"

"Scared…"

"ALL OF YOU STOP JUDGING ME! ! !"

After their departure, Michael addressed the remainder of his team, "All of you, get ready for a fight. It's time for our big debut."

They all nodded and started walking towards Natsu, Gray, and Erza, who stood before Lullaby. Though Jordan looked towards his leader, "Are you still sure about this? This is a bigger crowd than all the previous times, and people will actually listen to them. Loose lips sink ships. And if info about us spreads towards those who may wish us harm, especially with new Stand users in the mix, we may find ourselves sunk."

Michael merely looked his way and smiled, "Well, we already expected this to happen the more time we spent here. At least like this, we send our own message."

At this, Jordan matched his smile.

And now, the four of them stood beside their new wizard comrades. Skitt had taken a moment to activate his Stand, and everyone witnessed as his shape changed as he donned [Neon Tiger].

"Intriguing…" Makarov stroked his mustache in contemplation, while the other masters watched in awe at the transformation.

"So cool~!" Happy and Natsu were more vocal with their surprise. And Lucy and Gray looked at it the same way, having not actually seen the feline's Stand yet.

The four Stand users stood side to side, their right feet forward. Michael then swung out his right arm and pointed toward the gigantic demon, "You want my soul? Then try and take it!"

(Insert Boku no/My Hero Academia OST "You Say Run")

The demon readily accepted the challenge, "DON'T MIND…" A large magic circle appeared above it, "IF I DO! ! ! ! !"

The sound of its roar was amplified, causing a horrid noise which hurt the ears of nearly all nearby. The magic circle remained in midair as it prepared to attack.

Though our heroes… were undeterred!

"Ready?" Erza and Michael asked in unison.

"YEAH!"

And they charged.

Erza made the first move, "Requip!" She instantly changed into her Heaven's Wheel Armor and held a sword in each hand, which she slashed at Lullaby's throat area.

Gray slammed a fist into his palm as cold energy filled them, "Ice Make: Lance!" A flurry of curved lances made of ice shot from his position and crushed into Lullaby's chest.

He wasn't the only one using cold, "[Hazy Winter]!" Curtis summoned his Stand, which quickly used its abilities to form several large ice spears that were then launched into the demon's face, hurting it, and blinding it as they shattered and left a mist.

"[Crocodile Rock]!" Jordan's ferocious Stand appeared, and taking advantage of Lullaby's temporary sight loss, they moved in behind it. The reptilian Stand struck at the ground, forming giant earth spikes which moved up and pierced through the legs, which had stopped it from moving for the moment.

Capitalizing on this, Natsu quickly scaled the giant and lit up his hand, "Chew on this! Fire Dragon's: Iron Fist!" His attack hit home at Lullaby's cheek and it sent the demon reeling.

But it wasn't over, as with agility and movement befitting a gymnast, Skitt worked his way up the opposite side of the demon. And with a roar, struck its other cheek with a furious roundhouse kick.

"YOU IMPUDENT PESTS! ! !"

Angered, Lullaby prepared to counterattack. A magic circle formed in front of its mouth, and it began to charge up a large amount of magic energy.

But this left it vulnerable. And Michael took the opportunity to rocket himself upward with [Burner Heart's] arms over his own. When he was right underneath it, he shifted his trajectory to fly straight upwards, and let loose one large burst of flames to accelerate even faster. Michael then fully manifested [Burner Heart] as he approached Lullaby's face-

"CUORE!"

And caught the demon with a massive uppercut before recalling his Stand in order to get to safety, right as the magic detonated within its own mouth, further damaging it.

The series of attacks continued, everyone acting in like a well-oiled machine to continually harm the demon and keep it off balance. And the crowd of guild masters almost couldn't believe what they were seeing.

"He just punched the demon with fire!"

"I didn't know Ice Magic could be casted that quickly!"

"And the girl can Requip her armor!"

"That cat looked like it could do it too!"

"What are those spirits those other young men are using?! I've never seen anything like them!"

Makarov smirked. Not only out of pride for his wizards, but because he was currently the only legal guild master with Stand users in his guild. That put him a step above the rest.

"I've never seen combo attacks like that before…" Kageyama stated breathlessly, "It's insane!"

"They're all so in sync!" Lucy said in awe.

"Aye!"

"Dammit… I should be out there too..." Tyson whined pitifully as Ray gently patted his back.

But just as the gang thought they were making headway, the large magic circle from earlier shrank and condensed into the demon's mouth. It began to store massive amounts of power, and the greenery around the area started to dry up and wither.

"I'm guessin' that ain't good?" Tyson asked rhetorically.

"It's preparing to unleash it's song!" Happy confirmed.

"YOUR SOULS… ARE MINE! ! !"

The very earth beneath them was shaking as Lullaby had the necessary power stored up. The sheer force of its voice had forced everyone to cover their ears in pain as it vibrated through the air.

It clasped its hands together, and let loose its Melody of Death!

Pffffffft

… That was it.

It sounded like a mix between a squeaky fart and someone failing to whistle.

"WHAT WAS THAT?!" Lucy called out.

"A BIG LOAD OF NOTHING!" Happy answered with earplugs.

Lullaby was just as confused, "I DON'T UNDERSTAND! MY SOUND! WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO MY DULCET AND SYMPHONIOUS SOUND? ! ? !"

Kageyama was the first to recover from the tension drop, "It must've been all of those attacks!"

"Lullaby was a flute to begin with," Ray supplemented, "All of the attacks it took created more holes in it and threw off its tune. That's why flutes have set amounts of holes to begin with."

"All of that buildup for this?" Even Lucy was honestly disappointed, "Talk about 'Going out with a whimper'."

"Flutes are overrated anyways." Happy added.

"GAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Tyson broke out in raucous laughter at the demon's failure, "HAHA- ACK! Don't make me laugh, it hurts to laugh! GAHAHA-OW!"

Though Lullaby certainly wasn't happy to hear that, "YOU DARE MOCK ME? ! ?"

It fired another blast at the group of spectators, but Gray was on the defense, "Ice Make: Shield!" A large, flower shaped shield made of ice appeared in front of the group, protecting them from the full brunt of the attack.

" Such a level of Maker Magic is incredible!" One of the bystanders yelled in awe.

"And what's Maker Magic?" Lucy asked Happy.

"It's users can give magic energy tangible forms," The blue cat answered, "In Gray's case, it's ice."

"RAAAH! I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR INSOLENCE! ! !" Lullaby made another attempt to attack Gray's shield, but a pink energy blast struck its side. Looking over, it saw that Skitt had been the one to launch the attack. It started to charge up another attack, only for Erza to fly past it while slashing its face.

"FINE THEN! YOUR SOUL WILL BE FIRST!" Lullaby let out another vicious shriek, and due to Erza's close proximity she was affected the worst. She was forced to cover her ears as the noise echoed loudly through her head. That moment of pain forced her to stop in midair. And in that one moment of distraction, Lullaby's arm came to backhand her away.

But for Michael, that one moment was enough for him too.

Seeing what was about to happen, and moving almost by instinct, Michael rocketed over to Erza's location and quickly pushed her out of the way. With her safe, but no time to dodge, he crossed his arms out in front of him with [Burner Heart's] manifested over his own. And just as the backhand strike made impact with his body.

CRCCK!

"Grrck! ! !"

Though his defence held, but as Sturdy as his Stand proved to be, Michael could feel the pain. And it definitely felt like he cracked his radius. But not only that, the force of impact sent him flying.

"ONE DOWN!" Lullaby gloated as Michael's friends and allies watched as he went flying, helpless to do anything.

"""MIKEY! ! !"""

"BOSS! ! !"

Erza was silent.

Once again, this newcomer, this man she had only known for one days time, had helped her.

And now? He had gotten hurt.

Because of her.

At that moment, she felt real anger. Far beyond the annoyance she felt whenever her other guild members fought each other or someone interrupted her cake time.

Her hair shrouded part of her face, her lips turned up into a snarl, and her grip on her blades was so tight she was on the verge of shattering them, "How dare you…"

Natsu, Gray, Lucy squeaked in panic. Even the other Guild Masters were surprised as they saw this furious side of Erza. The Stand users couldn't help but flinch as well.

Lullaby however, was undeterred, "OH DON'T WORRY! YOU'LL BE JOINING THAT FOOL SOON ENOUGH!"

…

...Flap flap flap…

A small flock of black birds just flew in between them.

"WHAT?" The demon couldn't help but ask.

Down on the ground, Master Bob brought a hand to his face, "So she's making her move."

More of those birds started to follow, flying in the space between Erza and Lullaby.

One fluttered closer to Erza, and the sight of it broke her out of her anger.

Because upon seeing it, she knew that those weren't ordinary crows.

They were metal.

Every "crow" was a facsimile of the animal made of a black metallic substance. With wings attached to its body with gold colored screws, and the wing "feathers" were made of jagged sheet metal. Their eyes looked like the portholes on a ship, and were made of a gold ring and glass which shined bright magenta. Their underbellies were a rectangular gold plate with a purple interior, and were filled with gold and purple concentric circles of varying sizes that resembled bullseyes. In addition, each bird had a tiny wind-up key in their backs, and wore a little black top-hat on their head with a gold band wrapped around it.

"... Pretty red."

… And it spoke!

"Pretty red."

Several other birds joined the one and started to repeat the same line.

The voices that came from their beaks were distinctly female, but each one differed in pitch and tone, and some sounded like they were speaking through an old radio, or as if they were computerized. (Not that anyone on Earthland would know what a computer is.)

Warily, Gray readied his hands to cast another spell, "What are these things?"

But Jordan held up a hand to tell him to calm down. He and the rest of his team all stared up at the birds as they started to fill the skies, "We… We know these birds…"

A louder source of flapping was heard, and everyone's attention was then drawn to a larger flock of these birds which slowly descended from the sky. And on top of the flock, were two people actually standing. One of them being Michael.

"I have to say," He smirked while cradling his damaged arms, "Had I known you were going to make an entrance like this, I would've prepared a better welcome wagon," He then turned towards the second figure, "Still though, glad you're okay, Fiona."

The girl gave a cocky smirk, "Heh! Don't count me out of the game just yet. You know me, and it'll take a lot more than… whatever the Hell happened to us, to keep me down."

Fiona was a pale, slender, yet curvaceous young woman of fairly tall height. She had eyes the color of robin's eggs, very thin eyebrows, and two prominent, triangular lower lashes under each eye. She had long black hair tied into a high ponytail on the left side of her head. Her bangs are split into three clumps around her eyes, and some of her hair sticks up in large tufts at the top of her head. Her attire consisted of a black, high-heeled catsuit that clung to the contours of her body, and ended just above her breasts, showing a generous amount of cleavage. Over this, she wore a short jacket made of white feathers that ended at the elbows. She had black finger gloves on each hand with a very thin yellow triangle on the backs of the fingers, and just past the gloves were sleeves of intricately woven mesh. She also wore a collar of black feathers around her neck.

But then one of the birds fluttered close to Michael, "Missed you, missed you, she missed you!"

Immediately, the smirk vanished and was replaced by flushed embarrassment, "Be quiet!" She waved her arms and sent the bird away.

"Hehe, still a maiden at heart, aren't you?" Michael chuckled.

"Oh shut your trap before I break it," She said good naturedly, implying she was kidding, before turning back to Lullaby, "So how do we deal with this?"

"I've got one crazy idea, but we've got to do some more damage. Can you run interference?" Michael asked.

Fiona's smirk returned, "Please, who do you think you're talking to?"

The wooden demon growled, but then it sensed the soul possessed by this human female, and determined it was of oddly high quality as well, "I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE INTERLOPER, BUT I LIKE THE SCENT OF YOUR SOUL, SO I'LL BE TAKING YOURS TOO!" Then it began charging up another beam attack.

Fiona raised her right arm, "You can try~," And dramatically swung it to her side, "[Counting Crows]!"

Immediately, the eyes of each bird turned red and they narrowed as if they were angry. Then all the ones not making the platform Fiona and Michael were standing on. Then, they all dived towards Lullaby's head and started to swarm around it, forcing it to cease charging its attack while it started trying to swat the birds away.

"RRGH! DAMN PESTS!"

Fiona turned back towards Michael and placed a hand to her hip, "How's that?"

"Good as it always is," Michael answered, "Now take us up higher, and trust me when I said this was crazy."

With a mental command, the flock of [Counting Crows] started to move further upwards.

Down with the crowd, they were all commenting on the appearance of the girl. Lucy was currently at the forefront.

"Who was she? And were those…?" She would've questioned further, but a whoop from Tyson silenced her.

"HAHA! She's here! I can't believe it! She's actually here!" He gleefully grabbed onto Ray's shoulder and lightly shook her.

And though the shorter blonde "That means there's a chance."

"Wait, what're you talking about? Who was that girl?" Lucy asked.

Tyson turned to her, a wide smile on his face, "Her name's Fiona Ryder, and she's one o' ours! A part of our group!"

"And if she's here," Ray chimed in, "There's a chance the rest of our friends are in this world as well."

With the fighting team, the wizards were looking on as Lullaby was repeatedly swarmed and unable to concentrate as it was swinging its arms randomly to keep the birds out of its face.

"That's a lot of birds…" Natsu remarked.

"How's she doing this?" Gray asked.

"Questions can come later," Curtis answered, "Right now, we've got an opening. Let's bring the pain!"

They all moved forward, ready for the final stand!

… No pun intended.

(Higher In the Sky)

Fiona hissed in pain as she raised an arm. Under the mesh, a relatively shallow but painful cut had formed in the skin. Despite that, she still managed a grin.

"Big as that thing is, it's only gotten around fifty of my birds. Pretty underwhelming if you ask me," She then turned to Michael, who was standing on the edge of their platform, "You were right when you said it was a crazy idea. You think you can handle it?"

Michael turned towards her and smiled, "Please, who do you think you're talking to?" He remarked cheekily with her own words.

Right before he jumped off.

(The Fight)

"Requip!"

With another yell from Erza, she swapped into a new set of armor. Her long hair was tied into a high ponytail with two bangs framing her face. The armor itself consisted of a neck guard decorated by several gems. She had large shoulder pads composed of two silver-edged plates one over the other with silver crosses on them, that flanked the high collar. A silver-edged breastplate revealed a fair amount of Erza's cleavage and belly, with plates flanking her hips and reaching down to her very large waistguard, composed of very long, silver-edged plates shaped like feathers and decorated by silver crosses. The waistguard left the front of Erza's body exposed, with her groin being covered by a dark garment. The slim gauntlets on her arms came equipped with prominent protection for her hands, each sporting silver patterns. The plates guarding her legs were silver-edged on her thighs and knees, but pitch black dark on her metal greaves. But the most noticeable feature of the armor was the large pair of wings protruding from the back.

"That's Black Wing Armor! It amplifies the power of the user's attacks!" A bystander shouted, though the look on his face said he wasn't excited by the abilities of the armor, as opposed to how much of Erza's perfect body it left exposed.

Any other time, Curtis probably would have been drooling as well, but he managed to shove it down and focus on the fight. He had quickly moved in with [Hazy Winter] by his side charging up for one big move. And as they approached the demon's legs, they unleashed it.

"A.O.T.P!"

"SHUUUURIYAAAA! ! !"

The ice Stand's signature move had frozen the demon's entire lower half in a thick shell of ice, halting it's movements.

"DAMN YOU! ! !"

"Ice Make: Saucer!" Gray created a large disk of ice that started spinning like a buzzsaw. He then launched it forward where it tore through a chunk of the demon's body, making it roar in pain.

"[Crocodile Rock]!" With another shout from Jordan, his Stand reached into the ground and tore out a massive chunk of earth, which it then chucked at Lullaby's face. At the same time, Skitt gathered his suit's remaining energy and blasted the demon as the earth chunk made contact, staggering it.

Erza then flew in at high speed and completely severed the demon's right arm, "Natsu!

"Now!" Gray finished.

The pinkette had been storing power by feasting upon the fires left behind by Lullaby's stray attacks, and now he was ready to end it! He quickly climbed up the demon's body and jumped in the air.

"With flames on my right hand, and flames on the left..." Natsu slammed his hands together, causing the flames to merge together. A massive ball of fire formed over Natsu's head. "Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame!"

But before he could throw the attack, Lullaby made one last desperate move out of fear, "S-STAY AWAY! ! !" It fired a small blast from its mouth. The pinkette managed to dodge, but it threw him off course.

"Dammit!" Natsu groaned.

"NATSU!"

(Insert JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Phantom Blood Ost 23 [Yuuki Rendan])

Hearing his name, Natsu looked up and saw Michael falling from the sky!

"THROW IT TO ME!" He yelled while holding out his arm.

Though confused, the dragon slayer's eyes widened as he could hazard a guess at what Michael was aiming for, and he smiled, "Okay! Take it!"

He threw the fire ball in Michael's direction. He then manifested [Burner Heart] while in freefall and had the Stand catch it. With a bit of concentration, the Stand added its own fire to the attack, causing it to grow even larger and changing its color from dark orange to bright red. With a grunt, Michael then angled himself towards Lullaby.

"N-NO… NO! ! ! I AM A CREATION OF THE GREAT ZEREF! ! ! I WILL NOT BE BESTED BY YOU MORTALS! ! !" It started charging up one last big attack, only to be interrupted yet again as Erza flew in and sliced its other arm off, "ARRRGH! ! !"

Erza looked up towards the sky, "Finish this, Michael!"

"DO IT! ! !" His team cheered him on.

With a grunt, [Burner Heart] lifted up the fireball, and tossed it down at the now armless demon!

"CUOOOOOORE! ! ! ! !"

BOOOOOOOOOOM! ! !

The attack connected, and exploded with tremendous force! A shockwave traveled through the air, and a giant pillar of light shined up and pierced through the clouds.

"CURSE YOOOOOOOUUuuuu…." Were the demon's final words, before it went silent.

Everyone gathered around and saw the enormous crater that was the size of Lullaby. Nothing but smoke was coming out for a few minutes. All of the Guild Masters and the group saw the enormous cloud soon clear up, and saw Michael using his Stand to slow his descent.

With some controlled thruster work, Michael managed to land back on the ground safely. He let out a brief exhale, happy that this whole event was over. Though when he looked down at the floor, he saw that the demon had reverted back to its flute form.

With a small scowl, he unceremoniously stomped on it, breaking the instrument in two, "Put a sock in it,"

Name: Lullaby, The Mass Murder Curse Magic

Magic/s: Sound and Curse

Status: DECEASED!

(End Song)

Michael let out a longer exhale, allowing himself to relax. He regretted it after as he finally let himself feel the pain of his fractured arms.

Behind him, the group approached as he nursed his injuries. Erza had changed back into her Heart Kreuz Armor before approaching him. Everyone was awestruck, no question. He had destroyed Lullaby with a single furious attack.

Michael then looked at them and smiled, "So, I'd say this is officially mission accomplished, wouldn't you?"

At that, everyone broke out into cheers and ran up and crowded around him.

"Boss, that was fuckin' epic! I wish I coulda been in that!" Tyson shouted happily.

"You were super duper amazing!" Skitt jumped excitedly.

"Gotta admit, that was intense." Gray said.

"Oh man that was awesome!" Natsu commented, "If that's what happens when my fire mixes with yours, we gotta do this more often!"

"Let's not," Came Michael's swift reply, but he then let out a quiet yelp as Erza walked up to him and shoved his head into her breastplate.

"You had me worried for a few moments, but you did a fantastic job Michael." She said, containing her joy… and hiding a very faint blush.

'Thought that counts…' He thought as he breathed through the pain, unable to use his arms and clutch at his head.

At the sound of flapping, everyone turned and watched as Fiona descended to the ground. [Counting Crows] had mostly vanished as she stepped off her bird platform, but two crows had remained and perched themselves on her shoulders.

She gave off another smirk, "Always have to go that extra mile, don't you?"

Michael smirked back, "Well, I have to lead by example, don't I?"

After a beat, the whole group of Stand users started to laugh together. Though some of the wizards were still confused.

"So, who is this chick?" Gray asked.

"Allow me to introduce," Michael gestured to her as good as he was able, "Fiona Ryder, an imperative member of our little family, and her Stand [Counting Crows]."

"And she is one tough bitch," Tyson remarked.

Lucy and Erza look scandalized at the use of the word, but Fiona chuckled, "Damn straight I am."

And while they conversed, Kageyama watched on from a distance as the varied group of individuals celebrated their victory. Tears pricked at his eyes as he saw the camaraderie between them all, and he came to regret what he had done, "They're a bunch of crazy weirdos… but they're stronger than I'll ever be."

However, the shadow mage yelped in fear as Bob got a little too close for comfort, "Now, I think it's best if we get you to a doctor, you precious little thing~."

Kageyama paled considerably.

"Heh, I've honestly got no idea what just happened, but I think it's pretty clear we owe Fairy Tail a huge debt of gratitude." Goldmine said with a grin.

"HAHA!" Makarov laughed boisterously, "What do you all think?! Aren't my wizards the best?!"

"Um, pardon me?" A male voice from the crowd spoke up. They all looked to see that it was a man in a server uniform. The guild masters remembered such people as being part of the staff that served food during their meeting, "I don't think I've seen you guys in the news before. I don't mean to sound rude, but, can I please know who you are?"

The wizards looked towards the Stand users, and the Stand users looked at each other. Barring Fiona, they all smiled and said the same thing, "Our terms."

Fiona looked confused for a moment, but Tyson lightly elbowed her with his good arm, "Roll with it for now," He then whispered something into her ear, which made her smile excitedly.

"Pardon our inconsideration, and allow me to shed light on our identities," Michael began.

Lucy snapped to attention, 'Wait… he's not…'

"We are the newest team to join the ranks of Fairy Tail,"

'Are they really…?'

The male Stand users then adopted a series of dramatic poses. (A.N: Refer to Chapter 1)

'You have got to be kidding… Fiona you know these guys, tell them they're being stup- HUH?!'

Lucy stopped her own thought process as Fiona adopted a pose of her own, her left leg went behind her right, her hip was cocked rightward, and both arms were bent over her head. She looked right at home with the others!

"And you'll come to know as…" Michael gave a dramatic pause as the team grouped together. All of their various poses somehow making them fit together like a puzzle.

"STAND PROUD!" They all said in unison.

'THEY ACTUALLY DID IT AGAIN! ! ! IN PUBLIC NO LESS! ! !' Lucy screamed in her head.

The various guild masters, other bystanders, and Gray of all people, stared on in morbid confusion. Meanwhile, Natsu, Happy, and even Erza, to Lucy's mortification, looked on with sparkling gazes at their showmanship.

The server from before simply clapped with a smile, "So that's what you're called? Good to know…" A tick mark then formed on his head, "BECAUSE NOW WE KNOW WHO TO CHARGE FOR ALL THE DAMAGES YOU'VE ACCRUED! ! !"

Everyone from Fairy Tail gave a confused look at that, but when they realized that the smoke from the explosion finally cleared and they turned around, their faces warped into varying degrees of shock.

The crater that used to be Lullaby was bigger than they thought, as the entire conference hall had been caught in it. Not that there was any evidence, as literally none of it was remaining!

"HAHA! We completely wrecked that place!" Natsu laughed with his hands on his hips.

"DAMN YOU MICHAEL, YOU SAID YOU'D BE DIFFERENT!" Makarov was crying at the damages caused by members he had just bragged about.

With a crowd of angry guild masters behind them, Michael had one thing to say to his team,"... Guys, initiate 'Plan H'."

They all gasped.

"You're serious?" Jordan asked cautiously.

"Deadly serious."

"Uh… what's 'Plan H'?" Lucy asked, as she was getting nervous about the angry mob.

In a flash, Fiona had grabbed Lucy by the shoulders.

Then Curtis with Gray.

Skitt and Happy.

Jordan and Erza.

Ray and Makarov.

And Tyson and Natsu, with a bit of help from [Mack Knife].

And before any of the wizards could get a word in, they found themselves thrown into the crowd!

"GAH! What the Hell?!" Gray shouted, only for them to all be treated to a ridiculous sight.

The newly christened Stand Proud running away from the crowd at high speed, while pumping their arms dramatically, and all in perfect sync!

"'H' as in 'Hot-Foot it out of here'!"

Though Fiona turned for a moment to wave at Master Bob, "So long Bob! Thanks for putting up with me for all this time!"

"Ta-ta dearie!" Bob waved back, "Feel free to visit Blue Pegasus every now and then!"

Ran and ran, the Stand users wnet, venturing into the distance and were quickly followed by their "distractions".

But along the way, they had all started laughing at the situation.

The first leg of their new mission on Earthland had been reached… with more fun and surprises in store.

And so, Eisenwald has been bested.

The demon Lullaby has been slain.

A member of the Stand using team has been found.

And they've made their debut to the world.

But the excitement doesn't end here!

Find out what else is to come… Next time on "The Most Bizarre Tail"!
