Hey everyone, I hope you all doing alright and keeping safe. So last time, Jaune and the others had gone to fight the dark guild, Eisenwald. But unfortunately, they were led to a trap and Erigore the Reaper has fled, and he has taken the deadly flute Lullaby with him. What kind of evil plan does he have in store? Let's find out
To the mysterious Mr. E: Good to get your feedback :)
To NinjaFang1331: Thank you :)
To deathcornfive: Thanks, I am trying to improve, as I mentioned before, it is always the small mistakes that can sneak up on me.
To Starlord Master: Yep. Death Magic is bad stuff. Oh boy...I honestly don't know, maybe Ultimate Lied. Well, Ultimate Fairy, a Ben 10 and Fairy Tail crossover by Ultiamte10 was a major inspiration, but I also read a Fairy Tail and RWBY crossover story on Wattpad called A Knight needs her Hero by S1lver9, which also serves as inspiration for this one :)
To TTGLlol: I feel like Aries doesn't get enough love, and she is one of my favorite characters from the anime. Mira was one of my choices to be Jaune's love interest, but the winner ended up being Lucy. And in all seriousness, father thinking about it some more, I feel like Mirajane would possibly serve better as an older sister figure towards the blond noodle.
To Boogie445: Hmm...use her whip like a Belmont...that...is actually a very good idea. Funny thing I have not really played that much Castlevania, only the original on my NES Classic, and the remake on the Super NES Clssic...that's a very good idea. Plus I already have ideas on Lucy's whip for the future.

Oshibata Station
Inside the main hall, Erza had tied up all of the Eisenwald thugs and interrogated them for answers about Lullaby, but so far, they didn't tell her anything. Either due to them being knocked out or because they were stubborn and didn't want to tell her.
"You won't be able to win, lady." Byard said in a groaned voice. "You can't undo Erigors barrier, you and your friends are stuck here." He said Erza was not amused, and before she could ask him again, she was interrupted by someone.
"ERZA!" She looked up to see both Gray and Jaune running on the balcony of the station.
Erza was surprised to see them both, but not happy that they didn't listen to her orders. "Gray! I thought you were with Natsu. And Jaune, I thought you were with Lucy and Happy."
"Forget about that though, something else has come up!" Gray said to her. "We just found out that Eisenwalds true target is Clover, the next town up."
"What?" Erza asked with a shocked look on her face.
"He's right!" Jaune told her. "Erigor is heading towards the conference that all the guild masters are attending as we speak! He's going to use Lullaby to kill them all!" He said.
Erza, having heard this, turned towards Byard and gave him an angry look and also emulated a dark aura around her.
"Why didn't you tell me?!" She growled at the man, causing the man to cower in fear, and for beads of sweat to go down Jaune's head.
"Yep, definitely do not get on this girl's bad side!" He thought with dread. Meanwhile, Erza calmed down and dropped him as Gray and Jaune both dropped down to the floor, making Jaune wince a bit.
"We have a problem though." She told them. "Erigor has put up a wind barrier to stop us." She said.
"Yea...I saw it earlier." Gray said as he and Jaune both walked up to her.
"Wait," Jaune said. "If it's just wind...couldn't we just knock it away?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.
Gray sighed a bit. "It isn't easy. If we try to break through that thing it will cut us to pieces and kill us"
"Oh.," Jaune said. Damn, this magic stuff just keeps on getting dangerous.
"I already tried to break through it." Erza said as Jaune saw her hold her arm, suggesting that she was in pain. This made both Gray and Jaune worried.
"Hey, are you alright?" Jaune asked her with a concerned voice.
"Don't worry aobut it Jaune, it isn't important now." Erza said to him. "What is important is getting out of here. We have to stop Erigor before he reaches the conference." She said with urgency.
At that moment Jaune had an idea. That guy Kage...he remembered that he was told to have broken the Lullaby seal right? Maybe he might be able to break the barrier. Jaune then explained this thing towards the ice mage and his fellow knight.
"Jaune, that's a good idea you have." Erza said. "Kage is a Seal-Breaking wizard, with him, we can take down the wind barrier. Let's start searching, we have to find him and fast!"
"Right." Gray and Jaune said, and with that, they started to run in a different direction. After they left, Byard searched aorund the room.
"Hey, Karacka, you gonna keep hiding forever?" He asked. And at that point. The mage appeared from the wall in a circle and offered an apologetic look.
"I'm sorry Byard, I was just so nervous you know?"
"*Sigh* never mind that. You have to find Kage and hurray." Byard said, but unfortunately, Karacka became nervous.
"Please don't make me." the man pleaded. "You know that I'm not good in a fight you know."
"Just relax." Byrad said. "It's a very simple job." He said, making Karacka raise an eyebrow.
Meanwhile in another part of the hall. Lucy and Happy we're standing in the middle of the hall while the blond girl was panting.
"*Sigh* this is useless, we can't find that guy anywhere." Lucy said as she looked up. "I say we should just go back to where Erza and Jaune are at." She suggested.
But for Happy...that didn't go well for him due to her freaking out at the thought of Lucy saying that they should ignore what Erza told them to do. Lucy looked over in confusion and wondered the reason for hsi reaction.
"Because..you are talking about disobeying an order from the great Erza. Ignoring an order from her is like signing a death warrant. So you have to do what Erza says to Lucy. And if you don't she is going to be super mad at you, and I don't want to be scarred for life if I have to watch her punish you for insubordination." He said while he was trembling with fright.
And this made Lucy freak out as well, you could tell by her trembling and shaking.
"Wh-what kind of punishment are we talking aobut?" She asked in a fearful voice. Her personality changed completely 180 and acted nervously as she backed out on her original idea. "You know what? I was just joking. I would never give up on a mission like that!" She said in a cheerful yet nervous voice.
Happy then grinned slyly at her. "So the thought of Erza giving you a beatdown scared you back to your senses huh?" He asked.
"SHUT UP CAT!" Lucy yelled. "WHY ARE YOU EVEN FOLLOWING ME!" She yelled, she then breathed very hard and calmed down. "Besides, I just want to know how Jaune is doing too."
Happy grinned slyly even more. "I know why." He said as Lucy turned to him. "You're in love!" He said teasingly.
"I am not cat!" Lucy said angrily, but unfortunately, her face was blushing slightly. Causing Happy to snicker a little bit.
Meanwhile, Jaune, who was still searching with Erza and Gray sneezed a little bit.
"Why do I feel like someone is talking about me?" He thought with an eyebrow raised.
Let's see how Natsu is doing….
"ERIGOR!" Natsu yelled. He was rampaging all over teh halls in an attempt to search for Erigor, and so far he has not been doing so well either. Kage, who has been watching from the shadows, was snickering a bit.
"Has this idiot ever heard of using a door?" He asked himself. "Well anyway, it won't matter anyway. This fly doesn't pose much of a threat now that Erigor has been brought to safety. I could just simply let him go...but where is the fun in that? Besides...I owe him for that little stunt he pulled on me back on the train."
Natsu, who was not in a room full of boxes, was unaware that Kage was approaching from the ground behind him. However as Natsu turned around to get a glimpse of him, he was hurled into the wall by Kage, who had hit him with a shadow punch.
"Heh, I've wanted to do that ever since our start on the train. Have you had enough Fairy Tail fly?" He asked. As Natsu was grumbling and getting up, his head was stuck in a sign that had the words Waku Waku on it...wow.
"OH CRAP! YOU AGAIN?!" He yelled as he was pointing at the dark wizard. Who was laughing a bit at Natsu's predicament.
"Wow..you look so stupid." He chided.
Shut up Doggy!" Natsu said angrily as he got the man's name wrong.
Now, this prompted Kage to lose his cool. "Get it, right dummy! It's Kage! My name is Kage!" He said angrily.
Natsu then shrugged his shoulder as if he didn't care. "Meh, same thing you know?"
"WHAT!?" Kage said. He then quickly shook his head to regain his composure. "Well anyway, I think I finally got you figured out. You eat flames to increase your power right?"
"Yea? And what of it?"
"Well, it shouldn't really be that hard to stamp you out now wouldn't it?" Kage asked this prompted Natsu to get even angrier and burn the sign off of him.
"OH, NOW I REALLY WANT TO KICK YOUR BUTT!" He yelled as the took a breather. "Anyway, I don't have time for you. Tell me where Erigor is at, now!" He said as he pointed his fist at him.
Kage, however, smirked at him. "You really think I'm gonna spill the beans that easily? Well if you want to know that badly..then you'll have to beat the information out of me." He said as a dark circle appeared under his feet ."Knuckle Shadow!" He said as a volley of shadows appeared from the ground and went right at Natsu, prompting the Dragon Salyer to block the attacks, but he did stumble back a bit. This did not please Kage at all.
"So all I gotta do is beat you and then get the info I need huh?" Natsu said as his fists ignited in flames. "Well, that should be easy, it's killing two birds with one stone...get ready buddy, because now I'm REALLY WARMED UP!"
Meanwhile Lucy and Happy were still going aorund one hallway until they felt and saw the whole building shake. Making both of them nervous.
"Wha-why's the building shaking like that?" She asked.
She wasn't the only one either. As Erza, Jaune, and Gray were looking for them, they also felt it as well.
"The building...why's it shaking?" He asked.
Gray sighed a bit. "Must be Natsu, the flame-brain destroying something like always. Either way, we need to find him quick."
"Right, let's go boys!" Erza said.
"Right!" the two of them said as they ran to follow her.
Back with Natsu….
Natsu was dodging all of Kage's attacks and laughing along with it.
"Man, this is too easy." Natsu said to him as he dodged another barrage of shadow fists.
Kage then glared angrily at him. "Alright, then Fairy..let's see how you deal with this." He thought as he put his hand down onto the floor. "Now Snake Shadow!" He yelled as a black circle appeared, and a large barrage of snake's lunged themselves at him. "Good luck boy! They'll tear you apart!" He yelled out
But Natsu, Natsu wasn't the type to be afraid, nor was he the type to be intimidated easily. He just simply glared as he put his fists together and an orange circle appeared.
"I can handle this!" He said with eagerness as flames coated his arms. "Fire Dragon Wing Attack!" And with a wave of his arms, he sent a column of flames in a downward spiral down at the shadows, causing them to get destroyed easily.
This attack shocked Kage. "What?" He exclaimed. "That's impossible, he destroyed them with one shot!" He said as he stared on, At this point, Natsu was now glaring at him, with eyes that one could swear were glowing red. The eyes..of a monster! "I didn't think that wizards like this existed!" Kage thought in shock.
"So, you ready to talk now pal?" Natsu asked with a grin, "Because if you aren't;t then I got a fireblal with your name on it." He said.
Kage was shaking in fear a littel bit as he stared at teh Dragon Slayer in dread. "You...YOU'RE A MONSTER!" He screamed as Natsu delivered a powerful punch at Kage, causing the dark mage to go crashing into the wall with a loud thud, and he landed on the other side. Making the whole place shake.
Natsu saw what he did and sighed. "Now look what you did jerk! I was trying not to destroy the whole place this time." He said. Doesn't he know that he was the one who did it? "Well anyway, I feel better now. Anyway sorry for kicking your ass there Diorama."
"It's Kageyama, you idiot…" The man growled as a tick mark grew on his head. Natsu scoffed.
"Whatever, anyway, tell me where Erigor is at or I'll fry you." He threatened.
Kage slightly growled a bit in pain as he looked up at Natsu. "He's long gone dude, he ain't even here in the station anymore." He said to him.
Natsu, however, raised an eyebrow. Erigor was not here? Then where was he? Natsu was going to ask him where he was interrupted by Erza calling out for him.
"Don't harm him! We need him alive!" Erza called out as Jaune and Gray were running to them.
"Way to go Fire Freak!" Gray scolded him for the destruction. Prompting Jaune to sigh a bit.
"Now's not the time Gray." He said.
Natsu was even more confused. But then something else happened to freak him out. And what was it? Erza jumping forward with a sword in hand.
"I don't know what I did but I'm sorry ma'am!" Natsu said with fear in his voice. But luckily Erza didn't go for him...but for Kageyama instead.
BAM
Erza sent the sword right near Kage's neck spooking him, Natsu, and Jaune out. Erza giving Kage a death glare.
"You're going to take down the wind barrier, and you will do it without complaining." She said sternly at the dark mage, making him whimper a bit due to not just her glare, but due to the fact that her blade was a few inches away from his neck.
Jaune gulped a bit at seeing her like this. This girl...yep, definitely scarier than Glynda, hell even scarier than Yang when her hair got messed up. He knew because Ruby told him stories of it.
"Note to self: Never get on her bad side...like at all!" Jaune thought with a bead of sweat going down his head while trembling a bit.
"Just do it man!" Natsu said as he was trembling with fright. "This girl is a real monster!"
"Agreed!" Jaune thought fearfully.
"Natsu, shut up!" Gray told him. At this point Erza still glared at the dark mage
Kageyama then sighed a bit. "Fine..I'll tell you." But before he could say something, he felt immense pain going into his chest. A yellow magic circle appeared and an arm came right through it, causing Kage pain.
This act shocked the Fairy Tail wizards. Erza, Gray, and Jaune gasped a bit and Natsu widened his eyes.
"Why...Karacka?" Kage said weakly as he then fell down, exposing the large trembling man.
"This job is simple for you." Byard's voice said through Karacka's head. "You have to kill Kageyama." He said.
"Kage!" Erza yelled as she ran over to get down to his level, all the while blood was starting to pour out of his wound.
"Damn, he was the only one who could break the barrier!" Gray said with concern.
Natsu...Natsu was pissed off, did this how dark guild members treat eachother? This was...just wrong.
Jaune had a similar mindset, while he undoubtfully hated Cinder and her little faction, a part of him would be angered if she killed her subordinates like Emerald or Mercury. After all...they were together at the Fall of Beacon...just the thought of it...made Jaune seeth with anger.
"Kage, don't you dare die on us you hear?" Erza said to the man, who was unconscious.
"Guys, I think we're losing him!" Gray said. Erza was now worried, this man was the only one who could dispel the barrier. Hang on!"
"How could you…" Natsu growled as flames erupted from hsi arms. "How could you do this to one of your friends? He is a member of your guild...AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY HIM?!" He yelled. "HOW COULD YOU!" He screamed as he gave a devastating punch towards the trembling man, which caused him to go back into the wall.
While Natsu was dealing with Karacka, Erza, Gray, and Jaune were dealing with Kage nearly dying, and also with the blood loss.
"We can't let him die, he's our only way out of here!" Erza said as she then started to...shake him?
Jaune looked at her as if she was crazy. This man was dying and she thought shaking him would wake him up? It is only making the situation worse. Of course, seeing her temper earlier..it was best not to mention it at all.
"He can't with this condition Erza." Gray told her.
But Erza was not listening. "If I force him to he will!" She said as she still shook him like a ragdoll.
"Yea...shaking him up like a ragdoll is it going to work, however…" Jaune said as he sweatdropped a bit. He expected Nora to do this kind of thing, but not the woman who is supposed to be his teacher. Just as he was going to stop her, he got an idea.
"Wait...I got it!" He said as he then put out his hands and closed hsi eyes. "Ok...gotta concentrate." He thought as he
"What's Jaune doing?" Gray asked with a raised eyebrow, after taking a few deep breaths, the group saw Jaune's hands glowing and he placed them on the wound where the blood was oozing out...at first.
"What is he-Woah!" Gray said with his and Erza's eyes going wide, Kage's wound was begingin to close up a bit as Jaune was pouring all of his Aura into him to save his life.
"Please let this work." Jaune thought to himself. As he was still concentrating, the blood that was pouring out of Kage was beginning to go back inside as the wound was starting to heal itself up.
Everyone was in shock at what was happening. When they saw Jaune use some of his magic on Erza, they thought he was just giving her extra energy, but not it can be used to heal?
"Jaune..you really are something." Erza thought with a small smile.
"Heh, nice one Jaune." Gray said with a smirk. At this point, the wound healed up and Jaune took hsi hands away.
"Ok...Kage should be alright...but not unfortunatly he is still unconscious...we gotta find some other way out of here." He said grimly.
"Hey…" Everyone turned to see Lucy and Happy ."Did we come at a bad time?" She asked nervously.
(Eyecatch featuring Jaune doing push-ups...with Erza sitting on his back and having the blond noodle looking half-dead)
(Eyecatch featuring Natsu and Gray arguing, prompting Jaune and Erza to try to pry them off of each other and Lucy shaking her head in the background)
Clover Canyon/Railroad
Erigor was standing right on the train tracks that were right above Clover Canyon, a canyon that's so deep that it's believed that the treacherous walls rise from the abyss.
"I'm so close to Clover and the rest of the guild masters...I can already taste it." Erigor said as he was looking on ahead. "And the important thing is the magic energy I used for creating that wind barrier is almost recharged."
Erigor gave a dark grin as he looked on ahead as the image of all the guild masters filled his mind. "Not only did you old fools take away our work. But you took away all of our rights." He said as he was now hovering in the air. "Now..you're going to pay for it! The cleansing of the reaper is nigh!" He said as he then gave a wicked laugh.
Oshibata Station
The group was now right by the open walls of the station, where a wind vortex was surrounding the outside. Thye all told Lucy and Happy what Erigor was up to and they were shocked.
"So Erigor is going to use Lullaby on the Guildmasters?"
"Yea." Jaune said as he was gripping his sword tightly. "We need to stop them."
"I agree with Jaune, they need to be stopped!" Natsu said with his fist raised in the air.
Erza sighed and turned to face them as she was still holding onto Kage. "It's easier said than done, boys. Erigor cut our only way to get to Clover!" She said.
"We might be able to catch up to him with teh magic mobile." Gray suggested. "But the only problem is that we need to figure out a way of getting out of this barrier before we do anything." He said with his arms crossed.
"How are we going to do that though?" Lucy asked urgently before anyone could answer her question. Everyone heard a yell and turned to the source. Natsu, with his fist ignited, tried to punch the barrier, but when his fist made contact with it. was pushed back with a thud.
Lucy was trembling a bit and Jaune was shocked. How strong was this barrier?
Gray sighed and explained to them that this is what happened if any of them try to bust through.
Jaune was thinking really hard...couldn't they just cut through? Like maybe with him and Erza, maybe both of them could cut the barrier? Yes..that might worl...hopefully. Jaune walked over to Erza to ask her for his opinion and saw that she was still trying to get Kage to wake up.
"Get up Kage! You're our only hope right now!" Erza said to the unconscious mage. Jaune sighed as he rubbed his head, this mission was nto going well…
"DAMMIT!" Everyone (sans Erza) turned to Natsu, who was now burning with anger. "I HAVE TO BREAKTHROUGH! WE NEED TO SAVE MAKAROV!" He yelled in fury.
Jaune sighed a bit and frowned a bit. He was not upset at Natsu acting like this, but he was upset because he was afraid...He already promised himself that he would not lose anyone else...and the thought of them might be able to save Makarov, the man who brought Jaune in...the feeling of guilt was get...No...he would not allow it to happen...
"Natsu! Let me help!" Jaune said as both he and the Dragon Slayer both charged for the barrier, but both attacks didn't work and they were both launched back. Luckily Crocea Mors didn't shatter, but Jaune could already feel like a majority of his Aura had vanished due to the barrier.
"Natsu! Jaune!" KLucy said in concern.
Gray sighed a bit at them. He told them that they could not break through but they weren't listening. Jaune especially, and he was one of the more sane ones.
"Guys, stop." Gray said to them. "Using brute force is not going to work." Lucy then turned to the Ice Wizard.
"Well can't you do soemthing?" She asked. "Like can't you freeze it and then Natsu and Jaune can both melt and cut it down?" She asked urgently.
"If I could freeze it up, I would have done it already." Gray said as he rubbed his head, this whole situation was giving him a headache.
Natsu and Jaune, however, were not giving up and both charged right at the barrier again, but it had the same results. And Lucy and Gray were getting worried.
"Natsu! Jaune!" He called out.
Lucy was with him. "Both of you, stop trying to be the heroes, both of you will be torn to shreds!" She pleaded.
But both boys were not listening. They both owed the old man for bringing them into the guild, and they weren't going to allow Erigor to use Lullaby to kill him. They would both bust through the barreir..even if it meant getting injured to the extreme.
Erza was watching and trembling, not only was Kage still unresponsive, but now her childhood friend and her new student were both injuring themselves to break through the barrier, this was making her stressed out.
At this point Lucy had enough and pulled both Jaune and Natsu back.
"Both of you STOP!" She pleaded as she now had a hold on them both.
"Damn.." they both said in unison, but then both calmed down when they tuned as they saw Lucy, their faces becoming calmer when they saw the blond female tremble at their grasp.
"I...I just wanted to get out of here...and save Makarov.." Jaune thought as he felt guilty for making Lucy worry like that. "Lucy..I'm so sorry."
Lucy then stopped trembling to see that both of them were now looking at her, making her blush a bit. "Huh? What is it?" She asked.
"Lucy...I'm so-" But Jaune was interrupted by something…
"I GOT IT!" Natsu suddenly screamed, spooking out everyone (sans Erza) He then looked over at Lucy, who was still spooked out. "We can use your spirits!" He said to her eagerly. "Remember back at Everlue's? I was pulled from one place through another through the spirit world."
"Oh, yea…" Jaune said as he was thinking. "That did happen right?" He asked, with Natsu nodding his head.
"Well...that is true." Lucy said. "But usually, if normal people tried that, they would suffocate. It's hard to breathe in that world." At this point, Erza was listening on the conversation.
"Well can't we just hold our breaths?" Jaune asked her.
"Not important." She said to him. "Besides, a Celestial Spirit Wizard can only open a gate where they stand." she said to him.
Jaune was trying to figure out what she meant by that...he knew he read aobut it somewhere in that book he borrowed..but he forgot...what was Lucy trying to say?
And he was not the only one either, Natsu was just as confused. This caused the blond girl to sigh in annoyance.
"Let me simplify this for you both. If we could pass through the spirit world, we would need another Celestial Spirit wizard for them to open a gate that was outside the station for us all to pass through."
At this point, Jaune understood what she meant. And he figured out what happened with Natsu back at Everlue mansion. Natsu must've held onto Virgo during their fight and when Everlue summoned her, Natsu was dragged through as well.
"I swear...thsi is totally confusing me." Natsu said as he was rubbing his head. "Just hurry and do it already would you?"
At this point, Lucy was getting really agitated by Natu's one-track mind, and so was everyone else. "Look! I already told you that I can't! Besides, the very act of a human entering the Spirit World is a total breach of contract! I didn't care when you did it because it was Everlue's key, not mine."
Natsu however just sighed and lamented aobut how he didn't understand her magic at all. And everyone else was rubbing their heads in annoyance.
At this point, Happy, who has been silent, was muttering Everlue's key over again for a while...until he screamed, freaking almost everyone out. He then turned to face Lucy and told her that he remembered soemthing.
"Remember what?" She asked him.
"WHAT I WAS TRYING TO TELL YOU ON THE WAY HERE!" The cat screamed, causing everyone to cover their ears again.
Lucy rubbed her ears and tried to remember what he was talking aobut. "On the way here...oh wait, you mean when we were coming here, and you kept calling me weird?" She asked.
"Look!" Happy said as he raised his paw in the air and was holding onto something...Lucy took a closer look at it and recognized it. It was one of the Celestial Spirit Keys of the Zodiac! And it wasn't just one of them..it was Virgo's! How did Happy get that?
"Wait, that's Virgo's key!" Lucy exclaimed. "How did you get it? Didn't anyone ever tell you that stealing is wrong?" She asked him.
"I didn't steal it. Virgo asked me to give it to you." He said. Making Lucy raise an eyebrow.
"Wait..she did?"
"Guys, we're wasting time here listening to this nonsense." Gray said to them.
Jaune sent a small glare to him. "I wouldn't consider it nonsense, but he does have a point. Talking is not going to get us all anywhere." Jaune said.
"Wait..who's Virgo?" Natsu asked as he was thinking, this made Jaune look at him funny. Did he really forget aobut her?
"Uh...Natsu.." Jaune began. "She was that huge lady….remember? Large, wearing a maids outfit? Remember?" He asked.
"Hmmm…." Natsu pondered for a moment...until he snapped his fingers. "Oh, that's right! She was that big gorilla maid!" He said happily.
Jaune and Gray sweatdropepd a bit when he said that.
"Uh...sure, let's go with that…" Jaune said, really unsure how to respond to that statement.
Happy then explained to Lucy how he got Virgo's key, apparently. After Everlue was arrested, the contract between him and Virgo was broken. And before they all left, she came up to Happy and said that she wanted a new contract with Lucy.
"Huh, I guess she must have decided that Lucy would make a much better master than Everlue." Jaune thought. "It's probably for the best, I mean who the hell would want to sign a contract with a guy who's got a mustache like THAT? Heck, Professor Port's mustache is much better!"
Lucy sighed a bit. "Well, thanks for letting me know Happy, but we'll have to deal with her later. We still have to get out of here."
"Wait Lucy…"Jaune tried to explain, but Happy already beat him to it.
"Well, yea but I-" But at this point, Lucy grabbed him by the face and tugged on his cheeks.
"Zip it! Why can't you just meow or purr like any other cat?" She asked him.
"Jeeze Lucy, calm down!" Jaune thought with sweat going down his face. Sure Happy was annoying at points, but she doesn't have to act like that though...kinda reminds him of Weiss, back when she was a bit distant from everyone else.
"She can be pretty scary huh?" Gray asked Jaune and Natsu, Jaune nodded his head and Natsdu commented that she must have learned it from Erza.
Jaune sighed and walked right up to her. "Hey, Lucy." He asked.
"*Sigh*, what is it Jaune?" She asked in an annoyed voice.
"First of all, calm down. And second of all, let Happy explain what he is going to say alright? Maybe he is trying to tell us something important." He told her. Lucy took a deep breath and let go of the cat.
"Thanks, Jaune!" Happy said with a smile. "Anyway, I was going to say that since Virgo can drill holes in the ground, we could use her to get us out of here." He said.
Everyone went wide-eyed. Jaune even, he totally forgot that Virgo can drill holes, he read aobut it in the book. How could he be so foolish?
"Wait, she can?!" Erza said in a shocked voice.
"Then, she can drill us out of here then!" Gray said with shock as well.
Uh…" Natsu said, seriously, how dense is he?
"Oh my gosh, she can!" Lucy said, she then grabbed Happy and hugged him while smiling. "You're so smart Happy. Why didn't you mention that earlier, you silly kitty?"
"Wow, what a quick 180 personality change…" Jaune and Gray said in unison while beads of sweat went down their heads.
Happy then sent a small glare up at her. "Well, someone was pinching my face." He said to her with mild annoyance. This prompted the blond girl to immediately bow her head and apologize purposely.
"Give me some fish and all are forgiven!" Happy said with a big smile.
"Yes, I promise to buy you some when we get back, but now please let me have the key!" She begged. And just like that, Happy handed her the key. Lucy looked over at everyone and nodded.
"Ok, I call upon thee, in the world of the Celestial Spirits. I beckon you to my side at once, pass through the gate." Ad with that she pointed her key in the air. "Open, Gate of the Maiden: VIRGO!" And with the sound of a doorbell ringing. A yellow light appeared and a beautiful woman appeared, she had pink hair and wore a maids outfit with chains on her wrist. She also had on knee-high socks and black shoes.
"Wait...wha-?" Lucy and Jaune said in both unison and confusion….just who was that?
The woman presented herself towards Lucy. "you summoned me, mistress? What can I do for you?"
"Uh…, who are you?" Lucy asked with a shocked voice. Natsu however just smiled at her.
"Hey, Burger. Man, you look great." He said while crossing his arms. "Seems like you lost weight."
Wait..so that was Virgo? It didn't make sense, last time, she was this big hulking gorilla looking woman...but now...she was….beautiful! Jaune was blushing a bit at seeing her like that and quickly averted his eyes away.
"Actually, my name is Virgo." She said with a smile. "And I want to apologize for any trouble I caused you." she said.
"She didn't just lose weight Natsu!" Lucy exclaimed to him with a shocked expression.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Gray asked.
"Well," Jaune said. "We kind ran into her back when we were doing that mission for Kaby. Back then she looked more like a huge big gorilla looking woman...but now.." He said as his face reddened a bit.
"She's like a totally different person!" Lucy said in a shocked tone. Still, though….how did she change though?
Virgo sent a smile over at Lucy. "Well, I try to take on whatever form my master would find appealing." She said to her.
"So wait...she took on the form of that large gorilla woman...because Everlue wanted her to?!" Jaune thought. Seriously, how low were Everlue's standards? Jaune wasn't usually that rude, especially towards women..but still!
"Oh," Virgo said as she spotted Jaune. "You are that cute one that was with Miss Lucy back at the mansion right? I hope you can forgive me for handling you too roughly." She said.
Jaune simply smiled at her. "Naw, it's alright. I have been handled worse." He said. "Wait..did she just calls me cute?" He thought
"If you want…" Virgo said as she then knelt down and wriggled her butt at him "You can punish me as retribution if you want." She said to him.
"WHA-WHAT!" Jaune and Lucy yelled in unison with winded eyes, was she..really suggesting that Jaune should punish her for….throwing him out? What the hell as up with her?
Gray and even Erza were sorta blushing at what Virgo asked the blond knight. Gray was trying really hard to prevent blood from coming out of his nose when he saw her wiggly rear end.
"Uh..no thanks..I'm good." He said while laughing nervously as his face was turning red a bit from embarasment..whiel also trying to make sure no blood came out of his nose like a geyser.
"Oh..well ok." Virgo said as she stood back up. "But if you want to, you let me know." She said while bowing at him.
"Uh...ok." He said nervously. "Just what the heck was THAT about?!"
Natsu who was smiling t her. "You know..you actually look better in your huge form. Because you were all big and tough" He said.
The pink-haired spirit turned to face him again. "Oh, really? Well then." At that point, in a flash. She became all big again. "If you like I can switch back." She said in her deep voice.
However, that didn't sit well with the others. Lucy, Gray, and Jaune all got spooked and began shaking with fright and shock. Lucy however told her not to and that she was her wizard and she liked her better in her regular form.
And with that. Virgo turned back, making Gray and Jaune sigh in relief.
"Listen, I know I just summoned you but we are short on time. Would it be alright if we work out the contract later?" Lucy asked Virgo.
"Of course, whatever you say Mistress." She said.
Lucy sighed a bit when she got called that. "Do you really have to call me that?" She asked. At this point, Virgo noticed the whip at Lucy's side and thought of something else.
"Do you prefer if I call you Queen?" Virgo asked. Lucy told her no again. "Hmm...what about Princess?"
That seemed to make the blond girl happy "Well sure, that's more like it." She said brightly.
"Princess?" Gray deadpanned. "Sure, whatever."
"From the way she acts most of the time, I thought maybe Ice Queen suited her a bit more." Jaune teased. MAing Happy snicker and for the blond girl to send him a death glare.
Natsu, however, wanted to get this show on the road and asked them to speed things along.
Viro nodded her head and a magic circle appeared from under her, and just like a flash. She went underground. And everyone could hear noises in there, she was using her magic to dig through the building and out to the streets!
"Alright, she's doing it!" Gray exclaimed with a smile.
"Way to go Lucy." Erza said as she then took Lucy's head and slammed it into her chest plate, making the blond wince in pain for a moment.
"Alright everyone!" Jaune said. "Time to bust out of this trap." He said, he then heard some rustling and turned to see Natsu, holding Kage up. "What are you doing Natsu?"
Natsu looked at him. "Well...I know he is an enemy of ours, but if I was to let him stay here and die, then I would feel pretty guilty about it you know."
Jaune looked at him with a surprised look. He didn't really think that he would want to do that, especially since this guy was the one who broke the seal of the flute that was going to be used for killing the guild masters. But still smiled at him for doing so. He took a glance over at his teacher and she smiled as well.
5 minutes later….
The group was able to get out of the barrier-encased building. And the barrier itself was causing a large wind that was blowing everyone like crazy.
"Dang...that barrier is making everything windy." Jaune thought. "Gotta make sure to keep my balance."
"Don't worry Princess." Virgo said as she….was holding some of Lucy's skirt up while ignoring the fact that her won skirt was flying up and exposing her panties as well. "I'll try to keep your panties from showing."
Lucy, however, blushed out of embarrassment. "You just worry aobut your own." She said back to the spirit.
"Holy…." Jaune said as the blush was coming back on his face and felt some blood coming out of his nose, prompting him to cover it up. He wasn't the only one thought, Gray was blushing madly as well.
Meanwhile. Kage was laying on the ground while chuckling a bit. "It's no use." He said to them. All of then turned to face him. "None of you will be able to catch up with Erigor…. We have already won." He said.
The look on the mages spoke of anger. He was lying..he must have, there's no way that they won just yet. At the same time...Erza noticed something.
"Wait...Where's Natsu?" She asked. Making everyone else take notice as well.
"Yea...and Happy isn't here as well!" Lucy exclaimed.
Jaune was thinking about where he was...until he had a thought. Erigor!
"Guys!" Everyone turned to face the blond knight. "I think Natsu is going after Erigor. If we hurry now, we can catch up to them."
Erza looked at the boy. He might have been right, Natsu could be going after Erigor to stop him from harming the guild masters….if they can use the magic mobile...then they would have no problem catching up to them.
Clover Canyon
Erigor was still flying over the canyon, and he was staring straight ahead and noticed some buildings coming up.
"Clover is right up ahead. Just a littel bit farther, and revenge will be mine." Erigor thought with a wicked grin on his face.
"HEY JERK!" A familiar voice said, he turned aorund to find one of those pesky Fairy Flies coming at him.
"Him again?!" Erigor thought with widened eyes.
"I GUESS YOU DIDNT KNOW THAT CAT'S COULD FLY AT MACH SPEED HUH?" Natsu asked as he was holding onto Happy. And the cat flying right at Erigor. "NOW TAKE THIS!"
BAM
Natsu gave a fiery kick over at Erigor, which caused an explosion and for everyone to fall down. Natsu landed gracefully on the tracks with Happy in his arms.
"Hey Happy, are you alright?" He asked softly.
Happy's eyes were closed almost as if he was exhausted. "Yea...I'm jsut..so tired and exhausted." He said weakly.
Natsu gave his littel cat companion a smile. "Don't worry buddy, you just rest up. I can handle the rest from here." He said with a confident grin.
"You again…"Erigor's voice said Natsu's smile became a quick frown as he turned to face the dark mage. "You're one of those Fairy Tail flies. What are you doing here?"
"What do you think pal? I'm here to kick your ass to stop you." Natsu said as his arms then ignited into flames. "You ain't gonna get past me buddy!" He said with a feral grin.
Clover
In a tall building, the meeting between the guild masters is being held at. Makarov was there speaking aobut his guild.
"Wow Makky, I'm pretty jealous." Said one of the guild masters. He was a man on the heavy side, and was wearing a magenta shirt with pink and purple striped pants and red pumps, but the most distinguishing things about him were that he had wings on his back and wore a jeweled necklace and a blue guild mark on his upper right arm. Also, he had on lipstick and was bald.
This was Bob, the guild master of the Blue Pegasus Guild.
"Your wizards are so full of life, and are also cutie pies." He said in a flirtatious voice.
"Yep, you can say that." Makarov said as he had a piece of meat in his hand.
"Oh, And I also heard that you had a girl and a boy that gave someone quite the spankings," Bob said.
Makarov nodded his head in agreement. "Yep, our new recruits. Lucy and Jaune. Thye certainly did do a good job over with Daybreak. And also...Lucy has a nice body that won't quit." Makarov said with a perverted grin on his face. Now while Makarov is wise and cared for his guildmates...he also has a perverted side that comes out once in a while.
"Oh, how naughty." Bob said as he covered hsi face. "But what aobut that new boy you recruited?"
"Oh Jaune, well he is trying to learn some new magic." Makarov said to them. "I have no doubt that the boy has some great potential.
"New magic huh? What kind?" Another man asked. He was a tall man with hard dirty blond hair that went to his neck, he had on a black shirt, pants and shoes. And he also wore some cool shades. But the most distinguishing thing aobut him was the two spiky collars. One aorund his hat, and one around his neck.
This man was named Goldmine. The master of the Quatro Cerberus Guild.
"Well," Makarov said. "He is really interested in Sword Magic, Requip, and Gun Magic, since he wears armor like Erza, I feel like he is going to ask her for training in both Sword and Requip Magic. And if he is serious about Gun magic, then he can gain help from Alzack and Bisca."
"Hmm, sounds like a nice boy." Bob said with a smile on hsi face.
"Yea...he is." Makarov said. But still...after hearing what Jaune went through..he could not help but feel so horrible for the boy for having to go through all of that. And for having to leave all of hsi other friends behind...but he was hoping that Jaune would be able to put the past behind him. He could sense Jaune's inner turmoil and self-loathing inside. If he doesn't have a clear mind...then his magic training could be disastrous.
"Where did you meet this Lucy and Jaune?" Goldmine asked.
"Oh..well apparently form what I was told. Natsu and Happy brought Lucy to Fairy Tail. And Jaune arrived at our guild not that long ago.
"Oh, that's nice Makky." Bob said.
"Speaking of...I hope these two recruits are not as bad as the others." Goldmine said. "I am not trying to offend you Makarov, your wizards are a spirited bunch, but they do tend to go overboard on the missions at times. Some of the members on the Council are getting worried that your guild is going to end up destroying an entire city one of these days." He said to the short man.
But Makarov didn't seem to care in the slightest. "Oh let those blowhards worry. What do I care, all of them are just jealous because my wizards are hot!" He said.
Bob smiled and waved his hand. "Oh Makky, you're such a scoundrel. You shouldn't talk about your wizards like that." He said.
Makarov still couldn't help but think back about Jaune though. That boy...he could tell and feel that he had some potential..but the stuff he went through...he could feel anger and self-loathing inside. He was hoping..that the more time he spent with the guild...the better he would become.
"All I can hope to do is pray." Makarov thought. And he wasn't just praying for him either, he was praying for the others...Mirajane contacted him earlier and told him aobut Erza, Natsu, and Gray teaming up...and let'ss just say..he is not really happy.
"The property damage I'll receive…" He thought in dread. "Lucy..Jaune, please don't be as destructive as them." He thought with worry. "And Jaune...if you do want to learn magic..please do not let your anger and hatred overcome your emotions..." Makarov thought.
And that wraps up part three of the Lullaby Arc. So we saw that Erigor has already made off with the Flute. The heroes have made it out of the building and are on their way to stop Erigor. But it seems like Natsu and Happy had run off to stop him themselves. Also, Makarov shows some concern for Jaune. How will things go down?
Also thanks to everyone for liking this story so far. It means a lot to me that you all enjoy it. And I enjoy the suggestions you give me how to develop Jaune and his abilities. I know what I am going to do with him, but still, I like that you all send me suggestions and ideas :)
Please don't forget to read and review, I am always happy to hear from you guys and answer any questions you might have for me.
See you all next time as we wrap up the Lullaby Arc :)
