"Nick…. Please…. never again…. Leave with Natsu." Lucy said as her head was resting on the table.
"Yeah….Sorry about that," the brunette was scratching his hair, "Didn't think he and Happy would do a prank on you….. Then again, is your fault for falling in it."
"Don't remind me," the blonde had her face buried in the table.
So, yesterday, Natsu, Happy and Lucy went to the mission Nick gave them, and apparently, the troublemakers decide to play a prank on the blonde, making her change in a maid costume. She was so mad at it, to make things worse, the reward was a fake, the client just raised it to lure wizards to it, he was super-desperate to burn down a book. His intentions were right, however, so they let go the issue.
"Hey, don't worry, Natsu is just…."
"An idiot," Gray said, sitting at the table, "It was obvious that he would have failed the mission, you should have given her to me than him."
Lucy's face turn pale before going behind Nick in fear, "N-No! You're even worse!" she said. The black-haired eyes turn into plates before looking at her angry.
"I am not as worse than lava-breath!" he says.
"Then why did it took you three days to get here and why are you naked?" Nick had to ask, making the ice maker mage to gasp in shock at his lack of clothes, running off to find them. "Seriously, I don't care if it is a habit, he should at least do something about that." he sighs, "I'm going to a job."
He walks in front to the job post, looking around for a decent job, before noticing that Lucy was next to him, "Something wrong, Luce?" he asked.
"No… Just that I thought I could accompany you," she said, surprising the brunette.
"Accompany? Are you sure? I-I mean, is not that I don't want it….But, I can be a little bit like Natsu." Nick commented.
"True…." she said before smiling at him, "But, like you said; you're not him. Besides, I will feel more comfortable with someone I trust!"
Her words made the brunette blush a little, in which he scratched his cheek in embarrassment. "O-Oh… Then, okay-"
"My~ My~ Getting embarrassed Nick?~" the brunette twitch at the voice behind him. She was the last person to he wants to see him like this.
Lucy raised an eyebrow as she looks behind him. She saw Mirajane behind him, however, she was wearing a red long dress, and her hair was tied up in a ponytail. Her face was smiling like an angel, something that she wasn't doing yesterday.
"Hmhmhm, to think the great Nick would blush at a simple comment," Mira says.
"O-Oy, stop smiling! I know what are you planning Mira!" Nick yelled, even more, embarrassed that The Demon heard him.
"Oh~ And what are you going to do?~" she said with a seductive smile while placing her breasts on the table and pressing them against it, giving the brunette a great view of her big mounds, "Would you….punish me?~" her voice was slustry.
"...God Dammit," Nick hide his face on his hands, trying to hide his embarrassment.
Lucy had a sweat drop in her head at seeing her friend position, before feeling an arm around her shoulders, "I pity the guy at the same time I hate him…. But no need to focus yourself on him." The blonde look to the side to see Loke with his ever loving face.
"Lucy, right? I heard that you took down two mercenaries and a Gorilla like a maid, right? That's amazing! I was thinking, how about we form a team of love tonight, just the two of us?" he said with a smile, "You really are beautiful! I'm forced to look at you through these sunglasses. If I take them off, I'd become blind for sure!" he finished dramatically putting his hand on his face.
"First, that wasn't me, that was Natsu, second, if they do, then take them off, please." was the annoyed reply of Lucy as she glared at him.
Loke was about to flirt some more with her before his eyes caught the sight of her Gate Keys in her hip, "Y-y-ou're a Celestial Spirit wizard?!" he shouted as he jumped back a few feets. His eyes watered and he placed his hands on his eyes.
"Yeah?" she responds before seeing the womanizer sprint away.
"What a cruel twist of fate! I'm sorry, but it's over between us!" Loke shouted and sprinted out of the guild with a waterfall of tears streaming from his eyes.
"Had something even started.…" drawled Lucy as she watched him running with a sweat drop.
"Hehe, don't worry about Loke, apparently he had a bad date with a celestial mage," Mira said.
"R-Really…. Uhm, can I asked you something Mirajane?" the blonde asked the model.
"Of course, and please, call me Mira, we're friends now." the white-haired replied with an innocent smile.
Lucy had to hold a scream of the joy of been call friend with her idol, "O-Okay! Uhm….Why are….Why are you acting differently than yesterday?"
"Oh, is there something wrong with that?" Mira asked with a raised eyebrow.
The blonde quickly shake her hands around, "Nononono, there's nothing wrong about it! Is just that I'm curious because yesterday you weren't like this!"
Mira places a finger in her chin, thinking "Hmmm…. I guess you have a point," she then looks down at Nick….who fell asleep?! "I'm like this because of him."
Lucy look at her friend….yep, he was asleep, "Nick?"
The white-haired nod as her hand caress his hair affectionately, "An incident happened two years ago…. And Nick kind of help me…"
The blonde though in her mind before asking with a blush, "Is….that why you like him?"
"... You could say," Mira replied with a small blush, "And is funny…. When we first meet, I wanted to prove that I was better than him… And now, I want to prove to him I can stand next to him.…" she said as she looks around the guild, "You might haven't noticed, but everybody here has a hard past of themselves."
Lucy looks at the guild in shock, all these laughing people….have some swallow hearts in them, "That's...hard to believe…"
Just then, Loke came back to the guild, running directly at Natsu and Gray, who were fighting, obviously.
"Natsu! Gray! Bad News!" the orange-haired spoke up.
"WHAT?!" both of them spoke up. What can it so important than their match!?
"She's back! Erza is back!"
…
…
…
"...OH SHIT!" both mages began to sweat like mad.
"Erza is coming?!"
"Everybody! Save yourselves!"
Lucy raised an eyebrow, as the entire guild began to panic like mad dogs. ('Is this Erza really that scary?') her thoughts were broken when she felt hard footsteps coming, making her sweat in fear.
Just then, the doors open up, revealing a shadow of someone coming in. It was a beautiful woman with scarlet hair, chocolate eyes and white skin, She had a silver armor over her body, with a blue skirt. She was carrying a large decorated horn over her shoulder…..with one arm. Ladies and Gentlemen, Erza Scarlet had arrived.
"I have returned." the scarlet beauty spoke up with a voice that would scare anyone….
"Welcome back Erza," Mira greet her rival, "How was the mission?"
"Very easy, the villagers gave me this horn as thanks for the job, is not disturbing anyone, is it?" she asked, almost sounding like daring anyone.
"No mam!" the entire guild replied.
"I see…. Where's the Master? I have something to tell him." she asked.
Mira sighs at her question, "The old man is at the Regular Meeting with the others."
"I see…. Anyway, I have hear rumors during my absence. About how Fairy Tail keeps causing problems. Master might forgive you, but I will not!" she then began to scold them for their behaviours.
"Elfman! How dare you attack your own client!"
"Bigitar! Take the dancing outside!"
"Wakaba! You're dropping ashes everywhere!"
"Nab! Stop staring at the request board and pick up a damn job already!"
"Macao!... I have nothing."
"Oy! Oy!"
Erza sighs at all of them, "You're all so troublesome…. Anyway, I won't say anything today." she said and pinched the bridge of her nose.
"She said quite a lot already," Lucy mumbled to herself.
"That's Erza for ya!" Happy said with a fish in his mouth.
"Arf! Arf!" Rocky sprint at Erza, in which she notice and smile.
"Rocky!" She said as she opens her arms and caught the canine, holding it close to her, "Glad to see you too." the dog began to snuggle his neck against her. "If you are here, then Nick is here as well, where is he?"
Rocky look at the table where his master was and Erza follows up. When she saw him, he began to walk up to him. Her steps made everyone tense as she stood right next to the brunette, even Lucy and Mira were sweating.
Suddenly, the scarlet mage raised her arm and….place it on Nick's shoulder and began to shake it.
The brunette began to steer from his sleep, letting a yawn, "...I fell asleep again…" he looks up to see Erza looking at him. "...Hey, Erza, welcome back." he greets with a smile while standing up.
"Hello Nick, good to see you," She replied, letting Rocky jump off her and into Nick's shoulders. "I know I just return, but I have a favor to ask you." she turned to the rivals. "Natsu! Gray! This also concerns you two as well."
Both boys had their arms around the other shoulders, sweating a lot, "H-Hey E-Erza, w-what's up?" Gray said with a shaking voice.
"Aye!" and Natsu turns into her flying pet.
Lucy's jaw drop, "What the heck just happened? One moment they were fighting, and now they are like best friends!" Lucy asked.
"Well, those two are super scared of Erza," Mira says, taking a light pen and drawing a….terrible image of the three of them. "Natsu tried to fight her, he ends up badly in the infirmary for two days. Gray was walking naked, and she beat him for it."
The blonde mage sweat at her explanation, but she was also scare at it. "W-What about Nick?" she asked.
"Nick? Now that's a different story," Mira draw a….perfect face of the brunette. "Nick actually manage to defeat Erza." Lucy eyes widened, "You'll have to ask him yourself about that one."
Seeing the three people she needs it, Erza began to speak, "While on my way here, I overheard some troubling things. Normally I would consult the master about something this. But this is an urgent matter." Erza explains, putting her hands on her hips. "I need you three to lend me your strength. You'll help me, right?"
This sent everyone into shock, confusion and a little panic. There were muttering all over the guild.
"What's going on?!"
"This is the first time Erza teamed up with anyone!"
"Those four in a team?!"
"The world is ending!"
Nick sweat at all of their words, ('They are really being way too overdramatic…')
"Meet me tomorrow at the train station." she then turned to leave, "I will tell you both the details, Ah and Nick! Bring Seilah with you; she will surely help us in this matter." she requested one last thing.
"No can do, Cana took Sayla to a job, they won't be back in two days," Nick replied.
"I see… That's too bad," Erza let a sigh out, "Anyway, I'll meet you guys at-"
"Hold on!"
The four of them turn around to Mira, who sported a serious face, "I'm going as well!" she says. Making everyone gasp.
Natsu and Gray became paled as ghost, ('Noooo! Is terrible we need to go with frostbite/lava head and Erza! Why we need Mira as well?!')
An eyebrow twitch in annoyance on Erza, "Mira, I asked only for Nick, Natsu, and Gray-"
"Shut it, Tin Can." Lucy looks at the white-haired in shock, she did not expect her to change attitudes.
Mira jump over the table and land next Nick before giving him a hug from behind, pressing her bosom, "Beside, is with Nick who I want to go, not you." she said with a sexy purr as she rubbed her two mounds on Nick's back making him shiver and pissing Erza off.
"Mira, please, don't start a fight this early," Nick said while blushing and sweating.
"You hear him, you shameless slut, let go of him now," Erza said, earning a glare from Nick.
"What you call me, ginger head?!" and just like that, Mira tackle Erza to the ground and starting a full bawl between them. The poor and terrified people in the guild cowered in fear as the two fought back and forth while throwing insults at each other.
"Succubus!"
"Redheaded bitch!"
"Kyaaa! What's wrong with them?!" Lucy cried as she barely dodged an entire table of people heading toward her.
"A stupid competition of them," Nick answer her, "Those two can't be together in the same place without a fight…. Especially when is me…. Just glad that Sayla and Cana, aren't here." he turns to Natsu and Gray, "You two, tomorrow at the train station or face Erza's wrath."
Both of them pale at the scarlet mage's punishment, "Yes sir!"
With that, said everyone commenced to dodge any object that was throw away from the scariest girls in the guild.
…
..
.
(The Next Day)
Just like they promise, they were there.
"Gah! Why does Erza need someone like you?!"
"I could say the same thing to you, I'm more than enough for her!"
"Yeah right, you wouldn't even last three minutes!"
"Huh?! Well, you wouldn't be able to hit them!"
Aaaaaand both idiots are at it again. Nick could only sigh as he pets Rocky, who was sleeping in his lap. Next to him was Lucy, who came along.
"Seriously, I know those two hated each other's gut, but can they at least try to not be at each others throat everyday?" he sighs again.
"Ice and Fire…. Is that why they hate each other?" Lucy asked.
"They denied it, but I'm 100 percent sure that's the reason." he says before turning to her, "By the way, what's that?" he looks at the snow creature that was in her lap.
"Oh! This is Plue, the Celestial Spirit of Nikola! Isn't he cute?" she said, hugging the small guy.
"...That's not a dog." Nick said, making the blonde fell from her seat.
"Aye! I say the same thing!" Happy says.
"Shut up jerks! Is not my fault it doesn't look like one!" she yelled at them.
"WHAT YOU SAY YOU BASTARD?!" the two of them turn back to Natsu and Gray, who were now pulling each other.
"...I don't know those two." Lucy said with a sweat before suddenly having a great idea, "Ah! Mira! Miss Erza!"
In a quick moment, the two off them wrap their arms around them and made goofy faces, "Let's get alone buddy!"
"Aye!"
They both turn around to see…. That neither of those girls were there, making the two of them to jaw drop. Behind them, Happy, Nick, Lucy, and Rocky were laughing their asses off.
"YOU TRICK US!" they yell.
"Server you two right!" both Lucy and Nick said.
"Tch! Not only do I have to with lava breath! I'm also going with those two monsters!" Gray couldn't hold it his anger.
Suddenly, Natsu ran away and hid behind Nick, who was looking at him in pity, and Lucy, who also hid behind the brunette.
"What?" the black-haired asked before feeling a cold chill down his spine, strange since the cold never bother him once. He slowly looks back, only for his horror to see Mirajane behind him. A dark aura around her form.
"So~ I'm a monster, huh Gray?" the ice mage was sweating raindrops as the Demon began walking up to him and grab him.
"Oy Mira," the white-haired turn to her love, who sports a serious face, "...Try not to kill him."
Were Gray's hope rise when Nick call for Mira? Yes. Did it shatter into pieces after Nick said that? Yes. Was indescribable pain coming at him? Yes!
…
..
.
After a while, our scarlet swordswoman arrives at the train station. "Sorry, did I made you all wait?" Erza said as she arrived, pulling a massive cart full of luggage behind her.
She raised an eyebrow when she saw Nick sweating, with Lucy behind him, scared for her life, as she looks at Mira, who was annoyed. Natsu and Happy had sticks on their hand, poking Gray, who was on the ground, looking white, black, and blue.
"Tch, finally gracing us with your presence, armor freak?" Mira sneered at her rival.
"Shut it, Slut!" Erza glared at her before turning her attention to the blonde behind her belov-err. "And you are? I think I saw in the guild yesterday."
Lucy yelp at the question before moving out from Nick's back, "I-I'm the new recruit, L-Lucy. Nice to meet you!" she finished with a bow.
"Lucy is a friend that help get to Magnolia, I'm really thankful for it," Nic added, making the blonde blush.
"I see…..I am Erza. It's nice to make your acquaintance. So you're Lucy, eh? I heard that you beat a Gorilla monster with one finger." Erza said with an impressed tone.
Lucy sweatdropped, "Uhh... That was Natsu."
"This mission will be a bit risky, but with your performance in the last mission. I am sure you'll be fine." Erza completely ignored Lucy's words.
"R-risky?!" the busty blonde shrieked, she didn't knew anything about that!
"How about we get inside the train, we can get details in there," Nick suggests, taking out two pills before swallowing one. "Natsu! Here, some medicine for motion sickness!"
When the pink-haired hear that, he immediately went to his side, took the pill, swallow it and places an arm on his fellow slayer. "And that's why you're my partner and not that ice prick!"
"LIKE I'LL EVER PARTNER UP WITH SOMEONE LIKE YOU!" Gray shout, standing up.
"Instant recovery!" Happy and Lucy yelled together.
Suddenly Natsu had a devilishly smile, "What?~ So, you have no problem teaming with Erza and Mira?~ What was it that you call both of them again?~"
Gray eyes lost life when his rival said those words, ('He wouldn't?!')
"Aye! Gray call Erza and Mira monsters!" Happy put the needle in the hole.
The ice mage began to melt like ice cubes when Erza and Mira began to glare at him so hard, they felt like daggers.
"Ara, Ara! I think I haven't drill some respect in that skull of yours."
"Gray, what Natsu said is true?"
"Uhh….Umm…." Poor Gray. Natsu and Happy were on the floor, rolling and crying.
"Oy! Get moving!" Nick save Gray with those words, making everyone get aboard the train. They took their seats, Nick sitting between Mira and Erza, and Lucy sitting between Natsu and Gray, much to her dismayed. They all sat in silence as they left past the station. That was until Gray decided to break it.
"Erza…. it's about time you told us what are we supposed to do," he said, a little reluctant.
Luckily, Erza began to explain, "Our opponents are the dark guild: Eisenwald. They intend to cause trouble with some magic Called Lullaby." she informed them.
"When did you get this info?" asked Mirajane.
"I will explain everything." Erza started as she recalled what she had heard, "It was on the way back on my last job. In the city of Onibas, I stopped at a bar where Mages gather around, while I was eating, I hear a group of four-man talking out loud, one of them was more louder and commenced to spill a bit of info out. Just then, one of them spoke up about knowing how to break the seal and told them to head back to Erigor and tell him he was returning with Lullaby in three days." Erza finishes explaining.
"And what the hell is this 'Lullaby'?" Mirajane asked with confusion laced in her voice.
"I don't know, but if it has a sealed, it must be a very powerful magic," Erza replied
"So, those guys were part of Eisenwald….Think they planning something." said the ice mage seriously.
"Yes. I didn't realize it at first... Until I remembered the name Erigor, Eisenwald ace." she said with eyes hardened like steel, "He is called 'Shinigami' because he only accepts assassination requests."
"Shinigami!?" at hearing that name, Lucy commenced sweating a lot.
"Luigi! Your juice is leaking out!" Happy chirped
"It's sweat and I am Lucy you damn cat!"
"So in short, Eisenwald plan something really bad with this 'Lullaby' and that's why you want to stop them," Mirajane concluded as she locked eyes with her rival.
"Yes, normally I would go and taken them on, but this is a guild we are talking about, that's why I asked for help," Erza said, as her eyes look away, ('Although, I wanted to go alone... with Nick.')
"Alright! I'm getting all fired up now! Can't wait to kick their asses!" Natsu said with a sadistic smile.
"Good, at least I'll have time to try a new technique," Gray said, placing a fist in his hand as a blue aura cover around it.
"...Now that I think about it, the only magic I have seen is Natsu's and Happy's magic…." Lucy ponders as he looks at the beautiful wizards, "What are you two magic?"
"Erza and Mira's magic are beautiful!" Happy chirpy say, "Erza's enemies squirt blood everywhere and Mira transform into powerful and sexy demons!"
Lucy sweat at the cat's description of pretty, "H-How's that pretty?"
Just then, they reach their destination, making the group left the train.
"Yes! I survive that monstrosity!" Natsu laughs like a maniac.
"You barely did anything moron, stop acting like you were even better." Gray scoff out.
"Why don't you say that to my face?!"
"What do you think I did?!"
Both of them headbutted each other, but stop when Erza glare at them.
"You two, stop now," She stated, making those two the best friends they were. "Anyhow, we are storming into Eisenwald to find out what they are planning."
"Huh? I didn't know you could come up with that kind of plan, Tin Can!" Mira spoke up.
"Oh really? I still don't believe that you can fight, slut." Erza replied back, making both girls headbutt each other as well.
The celestial blonde began to sweat as she watched them all ready to kill each other….. Wait a minute, Lucy began to look around, noticing the odd number of the group.
"Guys!" everyone turn to Lucy, who was shaking, "Where's Nick?!"
At the name, Natsu, Gray, Erza, and Mira stop doing what they were doing and began to look around, trying to find the brunette, at the same time the train began to depart.
"...There goes the train!" Happy said.
…
..
.
Now then, our brunette had wakened up from a nap that he was, which was a bad thing because he found himself alone with his canine. "...Dammit, I fell asleep again." Nick mutter as he felt that the train was moving, causing him to feel sick as he holds his stomach. His movement cause Rocky to wake up from his nap and look worried at him.
"Don't worry….buddy, just….motion sickness," Nick said while supporting the pain inside.
You see, because of his earth magic, Nick sometimes would feel himself like taking a nap, his father explains that because his magic was with nature, his body would unconsciously absorb some of it, forcing him to fall asleep.
Nick began to search for his motion sickness pills, forcing him to take off his jacket to look better on it. As he was doing that, someone approaches him. "Excuse me?" Nick looked up to see a black haired spiky ponytail man with a white shirt with high collar and an intricate symbol on its back over a plain, dark red undershirt. He also wore a pair of aquamarine pants, black shoes and small black earrings in each ear. "Is this seat taken?"
Nick was about to answer when suddenly, Rocky began to growl. The canine was showing his teeth at the newcomer, although he didn't notice. Knowing his friend for a while, Nick put his guard up. "No...is not taken,"
The man nods and took his seat, while the brunette return to look for his medicine, which has been hard every minute. The man, however, observed until he spotted the Fairy Tail's Guild mark on his arm.
"Ah! You're a Fairy Tail wizard, aren't you?" the man asked, however, Nick notice the dark aura coming out of him.
"...I am…" the brunette replied, still looking for his pill while the canine growl even more.
"I envy you. Being in a regular Guild and all." he then began ranting, "I had noticed that a normal guild have lots of beautiful girls...I envy that about you because there are no girls in my guild. Would you please share some of your girls?" He suddenly smiles dark and rose his foot up, "You legal Guilds shouldn't get too cocky! Do you know what we call you in Eisenwald?! Flies! Flies!" he shouted.
*Grap* Bite*
"GAAAAAAAH!" his smile turn into a scream of pain when his foot was caught by Nick and bite by Rocky.
"Get….your fucking feet off me!" with all his strength, Nick push him off him away from him.
The man was slammed several seats, his face shock about this 'fly' power. Suddenly, the train stops moving, much for the brunette's luck. The black-haired stood up, glaring at him, "You fucktard! You won't get away from attacking Eisenwald!" he shouted as the shadow began to generate from the circle. It too shapes of multiple fists, "Knuckle Shadow!" he screamed and sent his shadow fists at Nick.
"Rocky!" the canine jump in front of Nick.
"Awooooooooooooo!" he suddenly roars as a wave of red came out of his mouth, going through the shadow punches as they, surprisingly, disappear.
"What?!" the black haired was shocked that his attack was canceled like it was nothing. Before he could even do anything, he was tackle hard in the stomach by the canine, breaking ribs and sending him into the wall. Something falls on the guys personally, catching Nick's attention.
"What's this?" he bent down and pick it up, it was some sort of stick with a creepy skull with three eyes. "...What a creepy stick." he only said.
Suddenly, the train began to move again, ('Shit! Have to get out of here!') Rocky! We're leaving!" Nick said as he grabs his stuff and the canine jump into his arms.
"H-Hold it!" the black-haired managed to stand up, holding his stomach, "Y-You attack a member of Eisenwald! You won't get away with-" he was cut off by Nick glaring at him.
"You better pray we don't see you again," Nick's eyes glow green, along with Rocky, who was growling. "Because if we do…. I will make you suffer to death!" with that, his motion kick in, making him almost puke and jump through the window.
Meanwhile, the black-haired fell to his butt, his legs weren't working great, his eyes were scared and was sweating…. That wasn't a wizard that beat him….
"That guy….he's a monster…." it was then he remembers something, "Oh no! Where's Lullaby!?" he began to look for it until he saw it far way in the window. "Oh, thank God!"
…
..
.
('I didn't think this through!') the brunette yell in his head when he jumps through the window, holding his pet tight.
"There he is!" he heard a voice shout, he turns his face to see a vehicle heading his way, with Erza in front driving and Gray on the top. However, both the brunette and raven-haired eyes widened at seeing that they were going to collide.
"Oh, shit!" was the only thing they said before their head collides with each other, making both wizards to fall into the ground, tumbling in the dirt.
"Motherfucker! That hurt!" Gray yell as he got up and holds his forehead. He turns to the brunette who was shaking his head, "What the heck Nick!?"
"Your fault for being in the way." The brunette rubs his sour forehead. When he stood up, he was tackled by a streak of white.
"DARLING!" Mira yelled as he hugs Nick's head. "I'm so glad you're okay! I'm sorry for letting myself be taken away from that harlot!"
"Who did you call a harlot, you slut?!" Erza screams at her rival before pushing her off the brunette, "Nick, forgive me for leaving you behind, if you want, you can punch me." She lowers her head to him.
"Nick!? Are you okay?" Lucy spoke up, going to his side.
"Guh…..Kill me~" Natsu was on the ground, greener than an ogre. "Nick….help me~"
The brunette sighs, "Yes, I'm okay….But, you guys really need to stop leaving me behind, I was attacked mind you." He said, earning the confusion of the group, at least from all except Natsu.
"Attack?" Mira and Erza asked, suddenly with dark looks.
"Yeah….He said something about been from Eisenwald or something," at his words, Erza grab him by the shirt.
"Nick! You idiot! We came for Eisenwald! Why didn't you capture them?!" She yelled at him.
Nick blinked at her for a few times before shouting, "What?! This is the first time I heard of this!"
"What?! Weren't you paying attention to what I was saying?!" The scarlet girl yelled at him.
"Hey, watch it Tin Can!" Mirajane came push her away from the brunette, grabbing his arm and place it around her breast, much to Erza's annoyance, "Have you forgotten that Nick suffers from 'Magic Absorption'?!" Erza grunt, forgetting about that detail.
"Magic... Absorption?" Lucy asked, never heard this before.
"Aye! You see, since Nick is an Earth Dragon Slayer wizard, his magic obviously comes from the earth, meaning that the entire ground gives him power," Happy explained. "And because of that, the magic on the ground flows inside him, making him fall asleep sometimes!"
"...So that's why he was sleeping yesterday." Lucy mumble, understanding why she saw him asleep.
"Anyway, look what I got from that creepy guy," Nick grab something from behind him before he began to panic, "Huh? That's weird."
"What is weird?" Erza asked.
"I don't have it anymore," he said before thinking for a bit, "Must have fallen off when I jump out."
"What was it?" Gray asked.
"It was this three eyes skull face flute."
"...That's creepy." Natsu mumbles to out.
"Aye!"
"Wait….A three eyes skull face," Lucy began to think, "No….I thought it was a myth...but, could it be that…."
Mira notice the blonde girl whispering to herself, "Something wrong Blondie?"
"I-I think…. That flute might be….Lullaby, the cursed song!" She yelled, earning the attention of everyone.
(Meanwhile, in Kunubi Station)
People were screaming in fear as several men's shove them out of the train.
"Move it, worms! This station belongs to Eisenwald!" shouted an extremely tall, lean-built and yet mildly muscular man with silver hair, which was held pointing upwards in spiky strands on top of his head, he donned a torn Japanese-like outfit befitting his role as the Shinigami. He was bare-chested, with all of his tattoos visible, and his lower body was covered in different layers of clothing. His attire was completed by a pair of distinctive dark gloves, each adorned with a light 'X' on the back, and by bandages wrapped around his forearms. He also carried a massive scythe.
"Everyone has been evacuated, Erigor."
"Good," the Ace of Eisenwald, Erigor said with a evil smile.
"Erigor," the man look at his side to see Kageyama walking to him, "I succeed in getting Lullaby." He reached into his pocket and showed him the flute.
"Excellent," Erigor took the flute from his hand and examined it. An evil smirk made it's way toward his face, "So this is the forbidden Lullaby, eh?" He grinned like madmen, "Originally this flute was nothing more than a tool used for deadly curses. But the great Black Wizard Zeref turned it into a demonic flute! All those who hear the melody played by this flute will die! This means... The mass death curse Magic, Lullaby!" he finished with a laugh. He then turned to his men and shouted, "Men! Let's begin the operation!"
"Right!" all of them shouted.
(After a while, back with the group)
The magic four wheeler came to a brief stop near Kunugi station. From where the Fairy Tail mages could overhear the commotion happening in the station, hearing that several dark mages took over the train.
From the top, Lucy leaned out of the wheeler's window, "I could understand if it were a car or a boat, but a train?"
"Those Eisenwald guys must have a good reason to be in such a hurry, right?" Gray while wearing only his boxers.
"A train is fast, I am sure that they want to carry their plans," Mirajane commented before shifting her eyes toward Gray. Annoyance cleared in them, "Where the fuck are your clothes?!"
Gray looked down, "Gahhh! How does this keep happening?! It's like those damn clothes have a mind of their own!" he shouted in shock. Not understanding Why the hell those clothes keep disappearing.
"Hahahaha-gurk!" Natsu tried to laugh, only to end up holding his mouth. "Dammit...Nick, why didn't you brought more pills."
The brunette, who was resting his head on Mira's thighs, look at him in pain as well, "Screw you Natsu."
"Now, now, Nick," the white-haired stroke the brunette hair, "Just take it easy, conserved your strength to beat those stupid dark mages." She said with her sweet smile.
"You're doing this so I can take you on a date." Nick bluntly said.
"...Maybe?" Mira said with a blush.
"WHAT?!" Lucy screams out loud as she tried to stop Natsu from going out through the window.
"...Fine," Nick let a defeated sigh out of his mouth, "Do...good in here and I'll take you on a date."
"REALLY?!" Mira said in excitement, as Lucy jaw drop.
"ABSOLUTELY NOT!" Apparently, Erza hears him and began to drive faster, causing Gray to almost fall off the side, for Natsu to land on Happy and for Lucy to crash into Nick and Mira….which result on the blonde's breasts to land on top of Nick's face and her face to land on her idol's bust.
"W….WHAT THE HELL YOU'RE DOING BLONDE!?" Mira pushes Lucy back with red cheeks.
"I-I'm sorry!" Lucy tried to apologize as she was been glared to death by her.
"AND DON'T THINK I SAW YOUR COW BAGS LAND ON MY MAN!" For some reason, Mira's hand decided to play with Lucy's breast.
"Kyaaaaah! M-M-Mira?!" Lucy could only moan and blush as the Devil began to play with her twins.
"Hmph! Why do they look bigger than mine, huh?!" Mira said as she suddenly slams her own pairs against Lucy's.
"O-Oy…" Nick had fallen and was now on the floor with a great view of what was happening, tried to stop them….although, his mind was not having it.
…
..
.
After a while, the group stopped at the Station where a large crowd clouded some of their views, but they were able to see the entrance to the station was being blocked off. Many military guards stood trying to keep civilians out.
"What's going on?" Lucy asked as she carried Natsu by his shoulder.
"Let's go see!" Mira said walking faster.
They spotted a police officer and Erza decided to investigate in her 'unique' way. "What's the situation Inside?!" she asked the officer who looked at her in bewilderment.
"Excuse me miss, but who are-?" the poor guy didn't get to finish as Erza growled in anger at not getting the answers she wanted. She glared at him and headbutted him, knocking the hell out of him. She then moved toward another guard and was also knocked out.
Lucy sweatdropped at the scene in front of her, "I guess people who don't quickly answer are useless to her, huh?"
"You are starting to know who is Erza," Gray commented nervously as he holds Nick.
"Hmph! She's should already learn how to get information, I guess her tiny brain can't comprehend it yet." Mira said with a laugh.
Erza returns to them, "Okay, apparently, Eisenwald is inside the station, they had sent a platoon several hours ago, but no words have been said." She explained.
"Then…" Nick managed to snap out of his daze, and stood up from his own, "We better get in there, soldiers have nothing on wizards." He said.
With that in mind, they entered, they were greeted by a brutal sight. Sprawled across the stairs and entrance to the station were the bodies of the army soldiers. Some were unconscious and some were badly injured.
"O-Oh my God…" Lucy covered her mouth in horror, "Are they?" She asked as Happy when to check on them.
"No, they're just unconscious." The cat said.
"Here Lucy, let me," the blonde felt Natsu been lifted up, she turned to see Nick picking his fellow partner on his shoulder. "And you better be prepared, this massacre is only a beginning," he said, in which he received a nod from her.
Later on, they reach the main terminal of the trail, and sure enough, the entity of Eisenwald was there, waiting for them.
"I knew you'd come, flies from Fairy Tail." a voice spoke from behind the group of mages as Erigor was sitting on the train.
"W-what's up with this number of people?" Lucy slightly stuttered as she saw the number of the enemies.
"So your Erigor," Erza said.
"Cursed you fly," Kageyama, from the front glare at Nick, who didn't even bat an eyelash, "Because of you all, Erigor was... "
"What's your objective?! What do you intend to do with Lullaby!?" Mirajane questioned the ace of Eisenwald.
"You don't get it?" he began to lift himself off the ground using jets of wind.
"He is flying!" Lucy said in awe.
"He is using Wind Magic!" pointed out Happy.
"Riddle me this: what does all train Stations have?" He said as he floats next to the loudspeaker.
It took a minute for everyone to realize what he was implying, "You plan to broadcast Lullaby?!" Erza shouted at him.
"HAHAHAHA! Just imagine, thousands of people are gathered around this Station. And if we increase the volume, it will resonate throughout the entire city... The melody of death!" Erigor smirked with a sadistic glint in his eyes.
"You are planning to use Lullaby on innocent people?!" Mirajane fiercely glared at him.
"This is purification." Erigor then explained his ideals to the Fairies, "I purify the fools who enjoy their rights and safety, without even knowing that some had been deprived of them." he then smirked at them, "Living your life ignoring the injustice of this world is a sin, so I, the Shinigami, has come to punish them!"
"Your rights won't be restored by doing something like this! Besides, weren't you blamed in the first place for committing a lot of crimes?!" Lucy placed her hands on her hips as she spoke.
"We didn't come this far for rights! But for authority! With authority, we can wipe the slate clean and control the future!" Erigor clenched a fist.
"Tch! You really are an idiot!" Mirajane commented with a scoff.
"Too bad for you flies!" Kageyama said as he sat on one knee. A purple magic circle appeared beneath him, "You won't get to see this age of Darkness because you'll die here!" shadow shaped fists sped toward Lucy who couldn't do anything…..nor didn't need to as a hand grab a hold of the shadow and burn it to ashes. "W-What?!" Kageyama and some of his comrades asked as Natsu finally stood up.
"Attacking my friends from behind…" the pink haired eyes burn with intense fire, "You guys have some real balls to be doing that! I'm fired up!"
As everyone stood in position, Erigor chuckle through his mind, ('You fell right into my trap Fairy Tail….Everything is exactly as I planned, there are some people that need to hear the sound of the flute. They must pay for what they did!')
"You all better be prepared, this is the Strongest Team in Fairy Tail!" Lucy yelled as she pointed at the army.
"I leave everything to you!" Erigor spoke and turned around still in the air, "Show those flies how terrifying a Dark Guild can-"
POW!
"GAAAAK!" Erigor was suddenly tackled hard on the stomach, breaking his concentration of his magic and sending him crashing into the ground.
"Erigor!" His fellow guildmates stare in shock at the small dust that was around Erigor….until something came out, and it was none other than Rocky, waving his tail around and in his mouth was Lullaby.
"Barf!" He then sprints back to Nick side, who went to one knee and mess with his fur, "Excellent job buddy." The brunette said as he took the flute.
"Nice job Nick, he didn't notice Rocky going behind him." Erza congratulates him.
"Of course! Our little puppy is always of great help!" Mira said, hugging Rocky, in which he returned by rubbing his cheek against her.
"Waaaaah! No fair~ I'm supposed to be the helpful one~" Happy cry in his paws.
"There, there, you are of use Happy." Lucy tried to comfort.
"Waaaaah! Lucy is bullying me!~"
"ARE YOU SERIOUS?! I'M CONFORTIN YOU!"
"Can we hurry up and beat them all? I'm getting bored of waiting." Natsu said with a bored face.
"Yeah, I need to try a move I have been trying." Gray agreed, which was a surprise.
"Y-You….fucking flies!" Everyone attention went back to Erigor, who stood up shakily from the floor, behind him was his angry followers. "Attacking me from behind?! That's dirty trick!"
"Hahaha! You would say that after your own people tried the same thing!" Mira respond with a laugh, making Erigor mad and making his face red.
Meanwhile, Nick stares at the flue, and then, the station, remembering the words Erigo said. "...I see…" with that, he suddenly slams the flute hard on the ground, sending a small shockwave in the area.
"Nick? What are you doing?" Lucy asked, getting her balance back in place.
"...'I purify the fools who enjoy their rights and safety, without even knowing that some had been deprived of them'…. Is that what you said?" Nick asked with a serious face to Erigor.
"Hmph, didn't know legal guilds had recorders." Erigor taunt, making the rest of his guild laugh.
"... Everyone," the team turn to him, "They're not broadcasting Lullaby in here." That made Eisenwald stop laughing and for their Ace to look at him in surprise.
"Not here?" Erza raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"They are broadcasting it in the next town," Nick smirk, "In Clover Town." His words made Eisenwald look in fear.
"Clover Town?" Mira asked as she thought about it before something in her head click, "Wait….Isn't Gramps and the old farts having a conference meeting in Clover Town?!"
When Mira said that, Natsu, Gray, and Erza realized what was going on while Lucy and Happy cover their mouths in shock, they were planning to kill the Guildmasters!
Now Erigor was scared out of his life, "Y-You….How did you-!?"
"It was really easy," Nick cross his arms, "Eisenwald was disbanded for taking assassinations quest, obviously the Council was not okay with it, which cause the disbanded of the guild in the first place. Now, being forced to be called a Dark Guild, you guys would be jealous of the Legal Guilds, obviously as well, which lead us for the old saying, 'If we can't be a guild, then nobody can!' So, you search for any relic that could kill all the Guildmaster in one spot, and that leads us to today."
Eisenwald stood there, in complete shock, this wizard just recap the entire plan and story in two minutes! "... Honestly, I feel sorry for all of you," Nick sigh in sadness as he closes his eyes, "That plan of yours….won't change anything."
"What?!" Erigor asked, now in annoyance, "What would you know?! You legal guilds don't know anything!" he shouts, alongside his guildmates.
"Shut up! All of you!" Everyone stood silently as they look at the Fire Dragon Slayer, much to the group surprise, "Of course we don't know! Unlike any of you, we don't enjoy killing others for money!" His words made everyone flinch, "We value the lives of people, even the ones we don't like at all!
"And now, because of that, you want to kill others to earn your rights back?!" This time, Lucy walk forward, her face sweating, but still glaring, "With this kind of plan, you all will be nothing but cowards using a weapon to kill others! You'll still be a Dark Guild!"
"C-Cowards?!"
"And to make things worse, you even dare tried to attack the old men's that took us in when we didn't have anything….only because of your own stupidity and jobs." Gray walk forward, gritting his on teeth.
"Saying bullshit about rights and punishment, you all seriously need some help with that," Mira walks up next, "You guys were thrown into the darkness….and decided to stay in there."
"If you all seriously think we would let you all get away with it," Erza suddenly summon a sword into her hand, "Then you have another thing coming at you."
"Aye!/Arf!"
All the wizards stood in shock and in fear at the sight they were witnessing, each 'fly' was giving a powerful aura that would choke any ordinary man to terror, even Erigor was sweating a lot of oil.
"Also," Nick open his eyes, glowing in a green aura, "You wanted to show us how terrifying a Dark Guild can be?"
He smirks before punching his hands together, Natsu hands burst into flames, Lucy took out one of her keys and her whip, Gray place his fist on his palm with blue magic, Erza position herself in a swordplay style, Mira's right arm began to glow with dark color magic, Happy took two fishes and his wings out, and Rocky stood ready to pounce.
"But….we haven't even shown you how terrifying we can be," he said in a lot of demonic voice.
('... Hot damn, that voice of his was so hot!') was the thought of the three girls.
"...So? It doesn't matter anymore," Erigor raised his scythe, "We are going to succeed in our plan….And you won't stop us!" He shouts, followed by battle cries of his companion's, "Kill them all!" He charges forward, followed by his men.
"... Guys," Nick didn't need to turn and neither his friends, "No mercy on them!" He said as they charge forward.
And so, the battle of the Dark Guild of Eisenwald and the birth of the strongest team of Fairy Tail….Began!
