Coco: Hey, guys, Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you all got to stuff yourselves and have fun. Well, I have two chapters coming your way, and I hope you enjoy them!
Oh, and don't forget to vote on the poll on my profile! And if there's like anything you wanted to see in the last story like something I could turn into a mini arc or something, just let me know! I'll try to work something in.
After Lucy got the key from Happy, she went away from the others who waited for Lucy to do her thing. The sooner she made her contract the sooner they could get out of here to head for Clover.
"I call upon thee in the world of the celestial spirits." Lucy said as a golden light shined in front of her. "Now I beckon you at once. Pass through the gates….Open: Gate of the Maiden, Virgo!"
The light got more intense before a small pink haired maid appeared with chains on her wrists. She landed in front of Lucy, placed her hand over her heart, and bowed.
"You summoned, mistress?" Virgo asked. "What can I do for you?"
Lucy just looked at Virgo in shock as Rizzo tilted her head. Didn't Natsu say Virgo looked like a gorilla?
"Who are you?" Lucy asked.
Natsu just smiled as he went up to Virgo as if she was all old friend of his from way back.
"What's up, burger?" Natsu asked. "Man, you look great. You've lost some weight."
"My name is Virgo." She said. "I apologize for any trouble I might have caused you."
"She didn't just lose weight, Natsu!" Lucy said.
Gray and Rizzo, who were standing on either side of Lucy, turned to look at the blonde curiously.
"What do you mean?" Gray asked.
"She's a totally different person!" Lucy said.
"I'm a very loyal spirit who will do anything to please her wizard." Virgo explained. "So I take on whatever form my wizard would find most appealing."
Huh, well, that's a neat trick, Rizzo supposed. She's never really seen celestial magic up close, so seeing Lucy use it and seeing her spirits was all something new to Rizzo.
"I don't know." Natsu said. "I kind of liked it when you were big and tough looking."
"Did you really?" Virgo asked. "Well then…"
Virgo shifted into this large gorilla looking woman with a manly face, which had Gray and Rizzo jumping back in shock.
"Don't listen to him!" Lucy ordered. "I'm your wizard, and I like the other form better!"
Virgo switched back, which had Rizzo relaxing because that other form was just scary.
"As you wish, Mistress." Virgo said obediently.
"I'm afraid we don't have much time." Lucy said. "Can we work out the contract details later?"
"Of course, whatever you'd like, Mistress." Virgo said.
Lucy sighed turning away from the celestial spirit as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"Do you really have to call me mistress?" Lucy asked.
"Would you rather I call you queen?" Virgo asked.
"No." Lucy replied.
"What about princess?" Virgo asked.
"Oh, yes, that's more like it." Lucy said happily.
Natsu, Gray, and Rizzo watched on while not believing what they were hearing. Not to mention that time was of the essence.
"Princess? Yeah, right." Gray said.
"Please, just hurry it up, Ladies." Natsu begged.
Rizzo nodded her head in agreement because they didn't have time for all of this.
"Yes, sir." Virgo said as golden light appeared at her feet.
She then drilled down into the ground at an amazingly quick speed, which had Rizzo smiling.
"Wow, look at her go." Gray said smiling.
"Nicely done, Lucy." Erza said 'hugging' Lucy.
Lucy cried out as her head hit against Erza's hard armor. She knew Erza didn't mean to hurt her, but her head was sure going to be swore for a few days.
"Alright, you guys, it's time to bust out of this joint." Gray said.
Rizzo wasn't about to argue with that. She wanted out of here. Rizzo and Gray heard Natsu grunt, so they turned seeing that Natsu was supporting the still unconscious Kageyama.
"Whatcha doing, Natsu?" Rizzo asked curiously.
"I know he's one of our enemies, but I'd feel guilty if we just left him here to die." Natsu said.
Erza smiled at Natsu's kindness as Gray frowned clearly not understanding. Rizzo just shrugged not caring either way.
"I guess we can make room in the magic mobile." Rizzo said.
"Yeah." Natsu said grinning at her.
They all then went into the tunnel that Virgo had dug for them. Once they were all out, they looked back to the station, which was still consumed in wind.
"Looks like we made it out." Gray said.
"Let's head towards Clover!" Erza called over the wind.
Rizzo was all for hurrying to Clover because they had to stop Erigor who had a huge lead on them, so she wouldn't complain about Erza being bossy...but just this once.
"Whoa, this wind is crazy!" Lucy complained.
Rizzo had to agree there. She was having trouble keeping her skirt from flying up. Why did she have to wear one today?
"Princess!" Virgo called then held down Lucy's skirt. "I'll keep your panties from showing."
"You just worry about your own!" Lucy said to the spirit whose skirt flew up to flash her panties at Gray who blushed.
He then a heard shriek from beside him, and his head turned in time to see Rizzo's skirt fly up to reveal her black lace underwear. His face got even redder since he wasn't even sure if what Rizzo was wearing could even be called underwear. Rizzo blushed when seeing that Gray was staring.
"You pervert!" Rizzo snapped then punched him right in the face.
He hit the ground holding his nose, which was gushing blood. They then heard a chuckle that had them looking at Kageyama.
"It's not use." Kageyama said. "You'll never be able to catch up to Erigor. You can't stop us. We've won."
Rizzo frowned down at Kageyama feeling insulted. Who did he think he was talking to?
"Where's Natsu?" Erza asked.
Rizzo's eyes widened before she looked around see that Natsu and a certain blue kitty-cat was missing.
"Happy's not here either." Gray said.
Rizzo bit her thumb nail worriedly while already having an idea where Natsu and Happy were heading.
"He's definitely went after Erigor." Rizzo said. "We need to get the magic mobile."
Erza nodded quickly going to fetch it where they had left it parked earlier, which thankfully wasn't caught in the wind barrier.
"We also need to throw this doubting-jerk into the magic mobile." Rizzo said pointing at Kageyama. "I want him there to watch as we beat the shit at out of Erigor."
Lucy sweat-dropped wondering if that was the only reason Rizzo wanted to take Kageyama along. Shouldn't it be because Rizzo wants to see that his wounds are taken care of by a doctor? Erza then appeared with the magic mobile, and Lucy went in first. Rizzo reached down grabbing Kageyama from the ground.
"Okay, Yami, into the magic mobile." Rizzo said then tossed him inside rather roughly.
Kage grunted in pain from inside with Rizzo giving a half-assed apology before climbing in after him after Gray offered his hand to her. Gray followed her inside then shut the door behind him, and as soon as it was shut, Erza took off.
"So, tell me, why are you taking me with you?" Kageyama asked.
Rizzo sighed shaking her head as she looked at Kageyama who was sitting beside Gray.
"Like I said, I want you there to see us kick your boss's ass." Rizzo said grinning. "That'll teach you not to doubt Fairy Tail."
Kageyama sweat-dropped while knowing the pinkette wizard was being totally serious. Just what was up with the wizards of this guild?
"No, we're taking you with us, so you can see a doctor." Lucy corrected. "I'm sure the one in town ran off, which means you'll have to see one in Clover. Try to show some gratitude."
Rizzo 'bleh'ed with her tongue sticking out. Honestly, she didn't care if he got medical treatment because he doubted them. She can't stand people who underestimate them or any other member of the Fairy Tail guild.
"I don't understand." Kageyama said. "Why are you helping me? We're enemies."
Rizzo rolled her eyes wishing the guy would just shut-up already. She didn't want to listen to him all the way to Clover.
"Oh, I get it." He said. "You're taking me hostage, so you can try to make a deal with Erigor. Well, you can forget it. He could care less about me or any of his men."
Lucy hung her head feeling a bit of sympathy towards Kageyama even if he was the enemy.
"Geez, lighten up, dude." Lucy said.
"Or just shut up." Rizzo said. "I'd be happy either way. Actually I'd be happier if you just shut up."
"Well, if he wants to die, we can make that happen." Gray said. "Then he'll definitely be quiet."
Rizzo hummed seeming as if she was very seriously contemplating Gray's words. She couldn't deny that he had a point. A very valid point.
"Chill out, Gray." Lucy said.
"What?" Rizzo asked. "I actually like his plan."
"Don't encourage him, Rizzo!" Lucy snapped.
Kageyama frowned wondering what was up with these people. He's heard Fairy Tail has some odd characters, but he never pictured them like this. It was ridiculous.
"There's a lot more to this world than just life and death, ya know." Gray said. "You should try to look for the positive. You and your Eisenwald pals."
Kageyama frown looking away from Gray as he closed his eyes for a moment. Suddenly, the magic mobile shook violently, which sent everyone in the air. Lucy's butt went into Kageyama's face, and Gray's head hit something soft and bouncy. Once they were righted, Lucy jumped away from Kageyama as Gray blinked. What was his head resting on?
"Gray, you mind moving?" Rizzo asked frowning.
Gray looked with his eyes widening when he saw his head was pressed against Rizzo's chest. They felt…nice…so soft. He blushed at his thoughts then jumped away from Rizzo as she sat up. She dusted off her clothes as she sat back down in a seat.
"What happened?" Gray asked.
"It's okay!" Erza called back. "Everything's fine now."
Inside the magic mobile, Kageyama was holding his face which had Lucy's butt in it earlier.
"I am so sorry." Lucy said.
"Could your butt be any bigger?" Kageyama complained.
"Sexual harassment!" Lucy shouted turning to her two friends. "Kill him, Gray, Rizzo! He said I had a big butt."
Rizzo covered her ears trying to drown out Lucy's shouting since it was giving her a headache.
"Geez, so much for trying to have a serious moment." Gray said.
Rizzo then frowned as the magic mobile shook again. She looked towards where Erza would be sitting on the outside of the cab. She should be running out of magic by now. This could be troublesome.
When they group finally caught up with Natsu, he had already defeated Erigor.
"Natsu!" Lucy called out.
"Hey, you guys just missed seeing me beat Erigor!" Natsu said.
Rizzo smiled as she got out of the magic mobile. She's just glad that this was all over. Rizzo then glanced at Erza to see she was totally spent as the others climbed out of the Magic Mobile.
"I'm proud of you." Erza said as Lucy was helping her down from the magic mobile.
Rizzo shook her head knowing that Erza should have let Gray or her take over earlier with the magic mobile.
"Are you going to be okay?" Lucy asked worriedly.
"Yes, don't worry about me." Erza said smiling.
Rizzo then noticed the Lullaby on the ground near Erigor. She walked forward to kneel down in front of it. She reached down to pick it off the ground before standing up.
"So, this is what you had been trying to destroy all those years ago, Cosette?" Rizzo murmured. "Maybe now things can be set right."
Rizzo frowned when the eyes in the flute started glowing because that wasn't a good sign. She wondered if she should tell the others, but when she looked up, she saw Gray and Natsu were too busy arguing.
"I can't believe you had such a hard time with this guy." Gray said to Natsu.
"I never said that." Natsu said. "I took care of him, didn't I?"
"I was kind of worried for a while there." Happy confessed.
Natsu just continued grinning because he still beat Erigor without help from Gray.
"Whatever." Gray said. "You look pretty stupid wearing a scarf when you're half naked."
"Like you have room to talk." Natsu snarked.
He then turned to the girls as Lucy continued to hold up Erza, so the older girl wouldn't fall over.
"Hey, Lucy, give me your clothes!" Natsu said.
"In your dreams!" Lucy snapped.
Erza chuckled in amusement as Rizzo removed her black vest off of her to toss at Natsu who caught it.
"Here, make do with that." Rizzo said. "Take care of it though, Natsu."
"Right!" Natsu said grinning as he put it on. "Thanks!"
He left the vest unbuttoned since he wouldn't be able to button it even if he wanted to. Besides, he preferred it unbuttoned anyway.
"Anyway, well done, Natsu." Erza said. "Thanks to you all the Guild Masters will be safe now."
Rizzo looked down at the flute in her hand while wondering what they should do with it. She didn't know how to dispose of it.
"Well, we should probably continue on to the conference." Rizzo said. "Master Makarov and the other Guild Masters will want to know about this. Besides, one of them might know how to properly deal with the Lullaby."
And if not, maybe some of the old archives she kept from her days in her old guild would have the answer.
"Might as well since we're so close to Clover." Happy said nodding.
Suddenly Rizzo felt herself being grabbed, and she cried out in shock when she was lifted high in the air. Everyone gasped looking up to see Kageyama had high jacked the magic mobile with his shadows, and one of the shadows was restraining Rizzo and the Lullaby.
"Kage!" Erza shouted.
"What are you doing?!" Gray demanded.
"You bastard, set Rizzo down now!" Natsu roared.
Lucy and Happy looked up worriedly as Rizzo tried to break free, but was unable to.
"Lullaby is mine now!" Kageyama shouted as the Lullaby was ripped out of Rizzo's here. "Now, here's your friend back! She's useless to me."
He tossed Rizzo into the air causing her eyes to widen. Gray and Natsu gasped before running forward to catch Rizzo. Natsu jumped up into the air first, so he snatched Rizzo out of the air with Gray waiting below just in case they needed help with landing. Natsu landed on his feet then looked down at Rizzo as she opened her eyes, which she had clamped shut when being tossed into the air. Gray let out a sigh of relief as did the others. That was a close call.
"Shouldn't have let your guard down, Flies!" Kageyama shouted while they were distracted by trying to see if Rizzo was alright.
Kageyama then went speeding down the train tracks. Leaving the others far behind. Natsu growled in anger, but instead of hurrying after Kageyama immediately, Natsu looked to Rizzo again.
"Are you alright?" Gray asked her as he walked over to the two.
"Yeah." Rizzo said. "But we have to hurry after the Lullaby now! Before it's too late."
Everyone nodded as Natsu set Rizzo on her own two feet. They all started hurrying after the magic mobile as it carried away the Lullaby.
"Are we getting closer?" Lucy asked.
"Yes, the conference building should be just over the hill." Erza said.
The group went over the hill towards where the conference building should be, but paused when seeing their very own master in front of Kageyama.
"There he is." Gray said.
"Master!" Erza and Rizzo said in worry.
Suddenly Bob the Guild Master of the Blue Pegasus appeared in front of them to shush them. They all jumped back in fright while grabbing onto each other.
"We're just about to get to the good part." Bob said.
Natsu and Gray then grabbed onto each other when Bob smiled creepily at them.
"Well, aren't you two boys yummy?" He hummed. "So adorable."
They practically cried wishing Bob would leave them alone. They were really getting freaked out.
"Who is that guy?" Lucy asked as she hid partially behind Erza.
"Master Bob." Erza replied as the boys hid behind Rizzo.
Rizzo sighed patting them both on the heads to give them some comfort, but it wasn't helping them much.
"Oh, Rizzo sweetie, you're more beautiful every time I see you." Bob said then looked to Erza. "And you, Erza honey, have really filled out."
"Thank-you, Master Bob." Rizzo said. "You're looking well."
She said this sincerely as she smiled, which had Bob smiling at the pinkette in return.
"Oh, stop it." Bob said making a weird giggling sound.
Lucy frowned feeling even more disturbed than before as Bob held his blushing cheek.
"You're telling me this weirdo is the master of the Blue Pegasus guild?" Lucy grumbled.
Rizzo then looked back to where Makarov was with Kageyama, and her eyes widened when seeing he was about to play. Seeing that she was distracted, Bob grabbed onto Natsu and Gray who cried out.
"Oh, no!" Erza said.
"Can you guys keep it down over there?" Goldmine asked as he leaned against a tree. "We're just about to get to the good part."
"He's with the Quatro Cerberus guild!" Lucy said.
"Master Goldmine." Rizzo said. "Haven't seen you in a while."
Goldmine glanced back at Rizzo with a smile on his face. The last time he saw Rizzo she was still a little girl. Well, just entering her teenage years at least.
"You've really changed, Rizzo." Goldmine said. "It's good to see you. We'll have to talk later though. Just listen for now."
Rizzo frowned in confusion before walking forward to look down where Makarov was still standing in front of Kageyama who was showing hesitance.
"Nothing will change." Makarov said suddenly. "You can't change the fact that those who are weak will forever remain weak. Now maybe it's just me, but I don't think that's a bad thing. I mean, we humans are weak creatures by nature. Our insecurities are the reason guilds even exist, and they're why we have friends. When we're surrounded by allies it easier to stay positive about the future. Think of it this way, if we're clumsy we might stumble and fall into things, but as long as we have faith in our future we continue marching forward. Our inner strength emerges on its own. But we have to choose that path, and pledge to live our lives to the fullest. Don't let that silly flute get in the way."
It was silent for a moment before the flute clattered to the ground. Kageyama then fell to his knees to bow his head.
"I surrender." He said.
The young Fairy Tail wizards' eyes widened in shock, but then they smiled at their guild master's accomplishment.
"Woo-hoo!" Rizzo cheered then started running down the hill towards Makarov.
The others laughed before running after her as Makarov turned around in surprise.
"Master!" Erza called out.
"You did it!" Natsu shouted.
"Good job, Gramps." Gray said.
They all reached him, and Rizzo knelt down to give Makarov a large smile as he continued to look at them in shock.
"How did you kids end up in Clover?" Makarov asked.
He then cried out in pain when Erza hugged him, which meant his head was slammed against her armor.
"Master Makarov." Erza said. "You're words touched me so deeply that I was almost moved to tears."
Rizzo jerked Makarov away from Erza to give him a hug herself, and he sighed happily as his head was rested again her soft bosom. This was much better.
"You're amazing, Gramps!" Rizzo said then set him down.
"Yeah." Natsu said while patting him on the head much to his chagrin.
As they were congratulation him, Lucy was checking on Kageyama who still had his head bowed.
"Looks like we got ourselves here in time to see Gramps talk his way out of another one." Gray said grinning.
Erza nodded her head in agreement with a small smile on her face as she watched Rizzo and Natsu talking excitedly to Makarov to tell them everything they did to get here. While Makarov was sure he'd get an earful from the council, he nodded along and smiled as his children filled him in. Suddenly dark laughter filled the air as a blackish-purple smoke came out of the Lullaby.
"I've grown tired of you cowardly wizards and your antics!" It said.
Everyone froze in surprise as they looked down at the flute wondering if it really just spoke. A large dark magic circle covered the sky as more of the smokey substance left the flute.
"Something came out." Happy said.
Soon sparks of electricity followed the smoke into the sky towards the magic circle.
"I can no longer hold back!" The voice continued. "I shall come forward to devour your souls!"
A large wood like demon with three eyes appeared, and it stood five times taller than the conference building.
"I shall feast upon your pitiful souls!" It growled.
"It's huge!" Lucy shrieked.
"Thanks for stating the obvious." Happy said sarcastically.
Rizzo just stood there silently as she looked up at the large demon. Was this the evil her grandfather told her lay within the flute? He always told her that the flute wasn't just any magical instrument, which is why their ancestor Cosette had wanted to destroy the flute, so no one could unleash such an evil power onto the world. Looks like that plan she started forming on the train might come in handy after all.
"What is that thing?!" Kageyama asked. "Erigor never said anything about a monster!"
Rizzo doubted that Erigor himself knew about this demon. Even if he did, Rizzo didn't think it would have stopped him.
"We're in a pickle." Bob said.
"It must be a demon from the book of Zeref." Goldmine said.
As they stood there, many of the guild masters fled from the conference building to get away from the demon.
"Why did the flute turn into a monster?" Lucy asked.
"That's what Lullaby's true form looks like in the flesh." Goldmine said. "It's forbidden black magic, living magic. Zeref's specialty."
Rizzo stared up at the creature with her hands clenched into fists as it continued to loom over them.
"Living magic?" Erza asked.
"Who's Zeref?" Gray asked. "Wasn't he some ancient wizard?"
"He's the most evil wizard the world has ever known." Bob said. "He was very powerful in his day, but never in my wildest dreams did I think his evil dark legacy would pop back up again."
The demon grinned menacingly as it leaned forward towards the wizards on the ground.
"Now then which of these delectable souls shall I dine on first?" It inquired.
Rizzo and the others glared up at the demon as they stood ready to use magic if needed.
"Delectable, huh?" Natsu asked then smiled. "Do you really think souls are that tasty?"
"How should I know what they taste like?" Gray asked looking annoyed.
"Always thinking about eating!" Lucy said in exasperation.
Rizzo snorted in amusement as a small smile appeared on her face. They're facing a demon, and Natsu still has time to think of his stomach.
"Natsu, Gray, Rizzo, get everyone to a safe place." Erza said.
"Quit barking orders." Natsu said surprisingly brave.
"Yeah, you're not the boss of us." Gray added.
Rizzo just glared at Erza not about to leave her to fight this thing head on. She'd get herself killed.
"Just do it!" Erza ordered.
"Aye!" The two said in unison as they ran off.
Rizzo still didn't move as she crossed her arms over her chest. Those guild masters didn't need a bunch of young wizards like them for protection. They would be fine on their own.
"Rizzo." Erza began.
"Just shut-up already." Rizzo said. "The guild masters don't need us holding their hands. Do you really doubt them that much?"
Erza frowned not liking that Rizzo wasn't listening to her, but Rizzo had a point. Suddenly the demon let out an attack towards the mountain. Rizzo could hear shouting over in that direction, and she wondered who was over there. She then heard retreating. Oh, it had been the Fiore Army…and they ran off.
"I have no need for those pathetic humans." The demon said. "I prefer the taste of the wizard's soul, and I am going to consume all of you."
Rizzo glared up at the demon as she, Erza, Gray, and Natsu stood there ready to face it. The guild masters and Lucy had all backed up.
"Oh yeah? I'd like to see you try." Natsu said. "Bring it on, big guy!"
"Good luck." The guild masters called out from a safe distance away.
Rizzo shook her head wondering why the guild masters were backing up. She then shrugged because the four of them didn't need their help.
"Can those four defeat Lullaby on their own?" Lucy asked worriedly.
"You should help them." Happy said.
"Normally, I would, but none of my celestial spirits are available at the moment." Lucy said. "And I'd probably get in the way."
"Good excuse." Happy said.
"Don't judge me, Cat!" Lucy snapped.
Happy just shook his head at Lucy who was frowning at him in return as the other four prepared to fight. The demon let out a loud noise as the large magic circle appeared above it. Rizzo narrowed her eyes it looks as if it's getting ready to attack.
"Listen, I have a plan." Rizzo said. "If we can't defeat Lullaby before its ready to play, there is still something we can do to make sure it can't play its song."
Her three companions looked at her curiously as she placed her hands on her hips.
"Alright, let's hear it." Erza said.
Rizzo was the expert on music magic, and even if this thing was a demon it was flute first. Which means Rizzo's plan could be the very key they need to destroy this thing.
"We have to make as many holes as possible inside the demon." Rizzo said. "With too many holes inside of it, it won't be able to hit the right notes, which means it won't be able to play the death song."
"Hmm, I see." Erza said. "Fine, then that's our plan."
Gray and Natsu nodded their heads in unison before they turned to face the demon once more along with Rizzo.
"Ready?" Erza asked.
Rizzo grinned in excitement despite the situation since this all seemed as if it'd be fun.
"Oh yeah." The other three said.
They all rushed forward to attack the demon in front of them. Erza brought out her Heaven's Wheel Armor before attacking the demon. Rizzo wasn't about to be left out, so she snapped her fingers with a magic circle appearing in front of her. A clarinet appeared in front of Rizzo with the pinkette snatching it out of the air.
"Song of the Cascading Notes." She said then started playing.
Literal musical notes came out of the bottom of the clarinet before they started raining down like hail onto the demon that roared in pain when the notes cut into its wooden form. Gray then took his turn as he put his closed fist in the palm of his other hand.
"Ice Make: Lance!" He said.
Ice like spears shot out to stab the demon that continued to snarl at the wizards attacking it. It tried to hit them, but the wizards made sure to stay clear of its large claws.
"Now, it's my turn." Natsu said as he bumped his fists together before jumping forward. "Fire Dragon: Iron Fist!"
He punched the demon in the face as the guild masters watched in awe at their magic. For young wizards, these children of Fairy Tail were amazingly strong and so fearless.
"You're making me angry!" The demon shouted as it swung at them.
They all jumped out of the way in time, so the demon didn't hit any of them. Erza attacked once more to leave more holes into the demon as Rizzo continued playing her clarinet though with a different tune, which had roots shooting out of the ground to stab the demon from below. Gray shot icy arrows at the demon as Natsu prepared for another attack.
"I'm not done with you yet." Natsu said as he threw his arms back. "Fire Dragon: Wing Attack!"
He moved his arms forward with the fire rushing forward to strike the demon. The demon let out a loud roar as it started to get ready for its attack. The plants started dying around them, which had Rizzo's teeth grinding together. She really hoped all those holes that they made in the demon would prevent the song from playing. If not then she failed not only as a wizard of Fairy Tail, but also as a musical wizard of the Sweeney family.
"Just one note, and your souls will be mine!" The demon growled.
The let out a roar as he tried to play his song, but only odd whistling noises came out of the demon. Everyone blinked as the realized nothing was happening, and they were all still alive.
"What happened?" Lucy asked.
"Nothing happened!" Happy exclaimed.
Rizzo smiled seeing that her idea was a success, which means no one was dying. Lullaby's song was now useless.
"I don't understand!" Lullaby shouted. "Why can't I play my melody of death?"
"It must have been because of all those attacks!" Kageyama said.
"They punched so many holes in that thing it totally messed up its sound!" Lucy said. "All that build up for this? Talk about going out with a whimper."
"Yeah, flutes are pretty lame to begin with." Happy said.
Lullaby growled obviously being angered by all their mocking words. Did they not realize they were all still in danger?
"You dare mock me?!" It demanded then kicked a mountain.
Gray hurried to get in front of the guild masters and the others to form a shield of ice to block the fiery explosion.
"That boy's maker magic is spectacular." One of the guild masters said.
"What's maker magic?" Lucy asked.
"Its users can give magic a tangible form." Happy said. "However, there's another type of magic that can destroy it."
Lucy looked at Happy wondering what the cat was talking about. What kind of magic?
"I will kill you all!" The demon shouted.
The fire it had created was then sucked away due to Natsu sucking it up into his mouth.
"Oh yeah?" Natsu mocked as he finished eating all that fire. "Now I've got a fire in my belly."
"You're not human!" The demon shouted. "You're a monster!"
It swung at Natsu, but the pinkette jumped onto its arm to run up it. He then jumped into the air above it as Erza changed her armor.
"Her armor is lovely." One guild master said.
"It's called Black Winged armor, and it amplifies the power of her attacks." Another said.
Many of the masters whistled in appreciation. Rizzo snorted with a roll of her eyes while tired of listening to those old fogies drool over Erza like a bunch of perverts.
"I'm not about to be left out of this." Rizzo said from beside Gray. "What about you, Gray?"
Gray grinned at Rizzo as she swapped out her clarinet for her guitar and larger speakers that she used at Onibana station.
"I'm game if you are." Gray said as he started forming ice in his hands.
Rizzo grinned as she hooked up her guitar to the large speakers. Lucy automatically covered her ears.
"Sound magic: Sonic Wave!" Rizzo said slamming on the chords as Gray shouted, "Ice Make: Saucer!"
A sonic blast shot out of the speakers with a large saucer shaped piece of ice with razor edges following after. The sonic blast hit the demon causing it to teeter off balance before the ice attack ripped into it as Erza sliced its face.
"Natsu, now!" Erza, Gray, and Rizzo shouted.
Natsu grinned while slamming his fists together as he got ready for his final attack.
"I've got this." Natsu said. "The flames of my right hand, and the flames of my left. Put the two together."
Both of his hands were engulfed in hot red flames before bringing them together to form a large ball of fire.
"And this is what you get!" He said as the fireball got bigger. "Fire Dragon: Brilliant Flame!"
He threw the fireball down onto the demon ultimately defeating the Lullaby. It disappeared with a bright light shooting up into the dark clouds above. Magical sparks then fell down from the sky once the light disappeared as the flute laid harmlessly on the ground.
"Well done." Makarov said.
"You're amazing~" Bob cooed.
"You kids, made defeating Zeref's demon look easy." Goldmine added.
Rizzo smiled just glad that it was all over. She then let her guitar and speakers return to her pocket dimension out of the way.
"I can't believe how strong they are." Kageyama said as the dust cleared to reveal Gray, Rizzo, Erza, and Natsu. "Are all the Fairy Tail wizards as powerful as these four?"
"There's no doubt about it." Lucy said. "This is the strongest team."
"Aye!" Happy agreed.
"We're an awesome guild, aren't we?!" Makarov bragged.
Rizzo chuckled in amusement as Lucy congratulated them on their job well done.
"Thanks, but it wasn't a big deal." Natsu said.
"Yeah, piece of cake." Gray said.
The others laughed, and even Erza cracked a smile as she watched her guildmates smile and laugh.
"We did good work." Rizzo said. "And we only destroyed one building this time!"
The others all froze before turning to look to see that Rizzo was right. Where the conference building had been was gone, and it was replaced with a large gaping whole.
"The conference building has been destroyed!" Lucy said gasping.
"Aye, and there's even a couple of mountain tops missing." Happy.
"Oh, you're right." Rizzo said then laughed. "I didn't notice those! I also forgot about the train station!"
Lucy looked at Rizzo as if she was insane because none of this was a laughing manner. Makarov stood there for a moment before his soul went leaving his body.
"Master!" Lucy screamed.
"Something came out!" Happy said pointing at Makarov's soul.
Natsu just laughed as he threw his arm over Rizzo's shoulder, which had her grinning at him.
"We really made a mess of the place, huh?" He asked looking proud of that fact.
Behind them Erza was begging for forgiveness as she went running after Makarov's soul. Natsu and Rizzo then turned towards the angry Guild Masters who were glaring at the young Fairy Tailers.
"You guys trying to catch somebody?" Natsu asked when he saw all the angry faces. "We'll do it for ya."
He gestured to himself and Rizzo as the two grinned widely at the angered guild masters.
"You're the ones we're after!" One of them shouted.
"Oh yeah, that's right!" Natsu said.
"Run!" Rizzo said while laughing.
The others were already ahead of them, and Erza had to even carry Makarov as they ran. Natsu and Rizzo laughed as they ran at the back of the group. All in all, not a bad way to end a job.
