Chapter Twenty-Two: The Need to Dispel
Here is the next chapter for you all.
I apologize for how long it took me to update. My hubby and I went on a vacation and I and I left all my things at home so that I could focus on him and family.
I hope you all enjoy and have a Jesus filled day.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
Previously:
"Eisenwald dude, I knew I recognized that voice." Natsu said causing Reinhart to grin, he knew that no matter what now they were going to win. It also always made him feel better when Natsu was at his best.
Lucy was excited, "You're back to normal."
Natsu looked excited now that he had gotten a look around the room, "Oh, it looks like we have ourselves a party."
"No Natsu, these are the guys we have to fight?" Lucy corrected but this only seemed to make the males of Fairy Tail laugh lightly.
"Like I said, it's a party."
Now:
Reinhart did not like the way that Erigor was looking at him, it made him feel like he had done something stupid. "This is the strongest team that Fairy Tail has to offer you better be ready!" Lucy yelled making the yellow eyed S class wizard to rolled his eyes. He knew very well that that kind of threat was going to do nothing to dissuade the crazy maniac.
Flying up in the air Erigor spoke to his guild members, "I leave them to you, show them the terror of the dark guild Eisenwald." With that said he completely vanished from view causing shock to Lucy and Happy.
The rest were unfazed as Erza started talking, "Natsu, Grey, Reinhart go I need you to stop him." The three looked at the redhead, "If the three of you work together not even Erigor the Reaper can defeat you. I'm leaving him in your hands."
Reinhart rolled his eyes and said while the other two were glaring at each other, "I'm not listening to you Erza, Grey and Natsu can handle that maniac on their own. I'm going to help you girls out here. The bulk of the guild is right where I want them." He also knew very well that Erza didn't have that much magic energy left, so she was bound to run out soon and he was not leaving her defenseless no matter how much she annoyed him.
"You are infuriating." The swordswoman said then turned to the other two trying to kill each other with their eyes. "What did I say!" Freaked the two went running off with an 'aye'.
Reinhart smirked, "Just like you are to me Erz." The redhead turned and gave him a short glare making him smile smugly before he focused on the guild. His smug smile taking on a whole different meaning as he grinned at them. The men got a little nervous again seeing it but they were not letting that stop them from doing what they needed to do.
However not all of the dark guild was paying the two S class wizards any attention as they were distracted by the two younger males running off. They were committing on how Grey and Natsu ran off for the most part. That was when two of the members ran off to follow and hopefully stop them from delaying their guild leader. The rest had focused on the three in front of them starting to laugh when they saw the two women that were left. Their laughter caused Reinhart to get into position. Erza watched as the two of the dark guild members followed the two Fairy Tail members that had ran off. "We'll catch up with them when we finished off the rest of the men here. Okay?" The yellow eyed male rolled his eyes as he knew that he could handle the idiots in front of him without the girls and he would say something but he knew that if he did he would get denied the same way that he did to the redheaded swordswoman.
Lucy seemed a bit panicked, "The three of us against an entire magical guild."
Reinhart shot a light glare at the blond, "I can take out this entire guild in my sleep if I wanted to. I don't need you two."
"You're not getting rid of us Reinhart." Erza stated looking at him in the eye, as if to dare him to try and send them away.
"I was just stating a fact; don't get your panties in a bunch."
The dark guild was laughing amused while some spoke, "Mama always told me not hit girls but I can make an exception."
"Just think about the fame we would get if we took out Nightingale. He's been a thorn in the dark guilds sides for years."
"Sorry ladies your not going to be as cute when were done with ya." A different guild member said.
While Reinhart wanted nothing more than to prove these idiot dark guild members that others had tried and failed he nearly fell over when Lucy decided to have the worst time to worry about how she looked. "But without my stunning beauty I'll be totally helpless."
Happy flew next to her trying to snap her out of it, "This is no time for daydreaming Lucy!"
Holding her hand out Erza spoke, "Let's do this." Reinhart ran at the guild while Erza started called forth one of her swords putting Lucy in awe. Reaching the dark guild Reinhart planted the staff against the ground and pole-vaulted over the whole remaining dark guild members. The members got confused as they couldn't decide what direction they needed to focus on. "If you insult the Fairy Tail guild again in my presence I swear none of you will live to see tomorrow." The men closest to Erza ran forward bragging about their own magic swords only to be throw back with a simple wipe of the female's arm. Reinhart lost focus on what was happing on the other side as the dark guild members closest to him charged. Not allowing them to get too close his left hand went to his belt pulling off a small orb. Throwing it to the ground smoke covered his area causing some of the dark guild to yell in surprise while others merely sounded like they were charging straight at him. Closing his eyes he allowed his body to move blocking and striking when it was required. Feeling someone was off to his left he twisted his body blocking the man's fist with his staff and ducking under the water flying around the man's arm. Once low enough to the ground Reinhart jumped into a low spin planting an elbow right in the man's chest making him cry as a few of his ribs could be hear breaking from the force of the dark haired males elbow.
Planting his free hand on the ground he back flipped to his feet and spun his staff nailing several members and sending them flying out of the smoke that was slowly dissipating. Getting grabbed by a bigger guy around his gut and lifted off the ground did nothing to bother Reinhart as he dropped his staff and moved his body to where he slithered out of the man's hold as if he was a snake more than a human. Using the strength in his arms he spun to where he his feet planted on the guys face and pushed off making the guy cry out in surprise as he felt backwards and hit the floor hard. Landing on the ground Reinhart quickly grabbed the staff and quickly moved the slam the staff on the man's face before dodging back before he was grabbed by two others. Opening his yellow eyes he smiled seeing that he only had three members left as Erza and Lucy were fighting their small groups. "So boys, who wants to go down first." Reinhart spun his staff teasingly as he continued to grin at them like a mad man. The three of them looked at each other then bolted in the other direction. "Hey! Get back here you cowards!"
Lucy finished up with her group and looked over to see Reinhart beating the three that had ran from him yelling about how they dare insult him for doing so. She sweat dropped as she watched, "Um…"
Erza turned and watch as one of the men ran out in fright as her armor disappeared, "I would imagine he's going to look for Erigor. You should follow him."
Lucy blinked, "Who me?"
"Just do it." Erza growled with a glare.
"Whatever you say. I don't want to make you angry." Lucy yelled as she and Happy ran off to do what they were told.
Hearing her yell caused the dark haired man to drop the thoroughly beaten men from his grasp and walk over as Erza as she fell to her knees, "Grey was right, I over did it on the magic mobile. Please boys don't fail me."
"You are a fool, do you know that?"
She glared at her fellow S class mage, "Shut up, Reinhart."
He grinned then went about tying up the men as Erza went out to warn the people. He could hear her talking over a loud speaker making him laugh as he could just imagine the police man's face. He quickly finished tying the men up and turned to go check in with Erza before he went to help Lucy as he hadn't watched her fight to know how good she was at actually fighting. Seeing Erza standing in the opening with a faced of determination he knew that something bad happened if she had that face, "What happened Erz?"
She gave a soft growl, "While we were distracted in here Erigor put up a wind barrier."
Reinhart's hand tightened on the staff in his hand as he growled out angrily, "What?" Stalking over to the closest one that was still aware Reinhart grabbed him by his shirt and slammed him into the wall, "What is the meaning of this? Explain now or I will make you wish you had answered my question."
"You've already beaten me, what more can you do that you haven't already?"
"Trust me…" Yellow eyes darkened making the man gulp in fear, "…I'll become your worst nightmare if you don't start talking." The man was shaking as his mouth opened and closed trying to figure out what he should do. Pulling a knife from his boot he held it to the shaking man's cheek, "Answer or else I start cutting."
"B…b…but you a light mage…you can't…"
"I can cause you so much pain and fear you will wish you had listened to my order. Don't question my morals because they are perfectly intact. All I have to do is cut you in the most painful way I know how."
"You'll kill me."
Reinhart grinned darkly, "All I have to do cut you just right, and I can do that easily without killing you."
The man shook more internally wondering if the dark guild boogieman was once a dark guild member before joining Fairy Tail. The man screamed as Reinhart went to jab the knife into his arm only find he had felt no more additional pain. Opening his eyes he was relieved to find the redhead had grabbed the mad man's arm. "Reinhart, allow me."
The dark guild member gulped as she slammed him into the ground, "Now answer my question or I'll hand you back over to my companion. How do we dispel the barrier?"
"Th…there is no way to dispel it. It's impossible."
"Nothing is impossible." Reinhart growled, "Now tell us how to undo it!"
"I just said there is no way to undo the barrier. You and your buddies are stuck."
"Erza!" She and Reinhart looked at the second floor where they saw Gray.
"What are you doing here? I though you were with Natsu." The redhead replied as the dark fairy tail member held the knife close to the dark guild member so that he didn't get any funny ideas while his teammate was distracted
"We decided to split up. Never mind that now." Reinhart felt his heart sink to his stomach as the younger mage kept talking, "Listen I just found out Eisenwald's real target is Clover. The next town up."
The Mystery Man of Fairy Tail jaw dropped as he figured out why that was. "What?" Erza asked in shock.
"Erigor is headed to the conference as we speak." Gray looked panicked, "He's planning to kill the guild masters with Lullaby's song."
The man being held by Erza instantly felt petrified as two pairs of angry eyes glared down at him as the female said, "Why didn't you tell us?" She threw the man into the air to where Reinhart kicked the man in the chest, cracking a few of the man's ribs. The two S class wizards made their way to Gray ignoring the man on the ground as he groaned in pain. "There's a problem, the station is surrounded by a wind barrier."
Gray sighed and crossed his arms over his chest, "I know I saw it earlier. If you try to break through it will make mince meat out of you."
"I've already tried that." Erza replied. Reinhart and Gray looked at the arm that she was holding with her other hand.
"Are you okay?" The younger male asked worried.
"That's not important. What is, is getting out of here." The female replied, "We must stop Erigor before he reaches the guild master conference."
Reinhart pulled a cream from his back pocket, "I'll put this on the wound. It will numb the pain." Walking forward he uncapped it and gently put the cream on the wound.
As he was closing small jar Erza had an epiphany, "Wait a minute, I remember them mentioning someone named Kage back at the pub." She looked at the males of her team, "We have to find that man, he was the one that broke Lullaby's seal."
"A dispeller huh? A seal breaking wizard, he could take down the wind barrier."
"Then what are we waiting for?" Reinhart said taking off running with the other two right behind him.
