Hey everybody, I have returned, so last time, the group discovered that Erigor is going to use the Lullaby to murder all the guild masters. After getting out of a trap, they find that Natsu has already gone on ahead of them to catch up to Erigor. Can the group defeat him and save the guild master? Let's all find out in the finale of the Lullaby Arc :)
Also, how do you all like the cover art? I got teh pics from Fairy Tail Wiki (Fairy Tail Banner, Natsu, Lucy, Happy, Gray, Erza, Wendy, and Carla) and SpaceBAttles Wiki Jaune ion his Post-Timeskip Outfit and made it by using Canva. And I got the Admins permission to use the pics for the cover art. Some of you might be wondering why I didn't do the design myself. And there's a good reason... I can't draw. My artwork really sucks. And I don't have the kind of money to pay for Photoshop or some Art Program. So I asked permission from the admins, and they allowed it. So a Big Thanks to these guys for allowing me to use the pictures :) Thanks guys, you rock!
To NinjaFang1331: Thanks :)
To The mysterious Mr.E: Thanks but the Arc isn't over yet, this chapter will be the final or in this particular Arc, pun not intended either ;)
To Starlord Master: That's Natsu alright, always impatient and always ready for a rumble. I know right? Whenever Fairy Tail is involved, you know that a building is most likely to get destroyed. Yes, Erza is going to be one of Jaune's teachers, but she is also going to serve as an older sister to him as well.
To dragoon109: He can manipulate people's abilities? huh...I never really noticed or thought of it, I always thought it was to boss up peoples energy and their strength, like how he used it to charge up Weiss's Aura for her heal to get better, or how he used ti to charge up Ren's Semblance when they were in Atlas. Do you mean the fanfic SLVR? I have not sen it actually, but I did hear aobut it
To TheSloarCommando757: Thank you :) Don't worry, Jaune will win a battle at some point in the story. Well...I don't know if I'm going to give him the Force, but I have seen Erza use telekinesis with her magic..I'm going to have to think about it and figure something out. A Lightsabre? Hmm...I might do something similar but not really...I need to think about it.

Clover Canyon
Natsu was staring down Erigor really hard, he was not going to let him get away with his plot to kill the guild masters, not at all. His fists being ignited by flames.
You and that stupid flute of yours are going to be burned to a crisp pal!" Natsu said to Erigor angrily, he was not going to let him use that flute to kill the guild masters. Not while he was here
Erigor, however, glared at him. "So you and the rest of your flies were able to break through my barrier huh? I swear you are nothing but pests." He said to him. "Anyway, get outta my way kid, or else." And as he said that a magic circle appeared from his hand and wind started to blow out of it, clearly trying to make Natsu fall down.
But the pink-haired boy wasn't going to let a bunch of wind stop him that easy. "Is that really all you got?" He asked, and then he used his flames to propel himself in the air, Erigor looking up at him. "Now TAKE SOME OF THESE!" He yelled.
And with that, he tried to deliver blow after blow to Erigor, but some of his attacks were not doing anything due to the dark mage using his scythe to block them. But it made Erigor shocked a bit.
"So he can use his flames to both jump and strike!" He thought with shock, but then he adopted a smirk. "I underestimated him, this could prove to be a great challenge for me."
Natsu saw that Erigor was hovering in the air and got a bit angry, thinking that he was being a coward and not facing him like a man.
"Get down here and fight me like a man you coward!" Natsu yelled at him, but Erigor smiled at him.
"Don't get too cocky you insect." He said as he then unleashed another wind spell, and hurled it over at Natsu, but this wind was even more powerful and formed into a Tornado and sucked Natsu right in. "Storm Bringer!" He yelled.
Natsu was spinning aorund and around due to being sucked into the wind tornado, and due to his motion sickness, it was going to make his fight harder.
Happy noticed this and a magic circle appeared from behind him, activating his wings...but unfortunately he didn't have enough energy to help his partner out.
"Dang it, I don't have enough energy." He said sadly. Immediately following that, Natsu was sent hurtling down into the canyon, much to Happy's shock and worry. Erigor looking down at him and chuckling to himself
"Let's see if your firepower can get you out of this one boy." He snarkily said.
As Natsu was falling to his possible doom, he didn't feel scared, but rather...annoyed? And he had his arms and leg crossed as if he was sitting down….ok?
"Well, this sucks." Natsu said in an annoyed tone of voice. "I wasn't expecting this to happen to me. What the heck am I going to do now?" He asked himself and as he was falling down, Natsu was banging into rocks left and right, all the while getting lumps on his head.
After that, he looked up and raised his hand in the air while having a broken look. "Gramps...please forgive me." He said as his vision was blocking out...
Flashback/Fairy Tail Guild Hall
A younger Natsu was with Macao, the older man showing Natsu his purple fire holding onto his mug.
Wow! That's amazing!" Natsu said with awe.
"I know right?" Macao asked. "It's called Purple Flare." He said as the flare gave the man back his mug. "And despite it being fire, I can do much more than just burn things." He said.
Natsu looked up at him with a confused look on his face. "But...why does my fire burn everything that touches despite yours not doing that?" He asked.
Macao looked down at him and smiled. "It's not that it can't burn. It's just that I know how to make it not burn things, unlike you. You need to learn that if you can wish for it deep in your heart, then you can make your fire do what you want it to do." He said. "And once you master it, then neither Water nor Wind Magic can beat you." He said.
Natsu however...was confused. "That doesn't even make any sense though." He said.
"Trust me buddy, one day you will." Macao said with a grin
Present Time/Clover Canyon
Natsu flashed his eyes open. "I understand now!" He thought, and with that, he used his magic to make a large torrent of flames, and much to Erigor's surprise, the fire formed into a clawed hand and grabbed onto the bridge and launched himself up. And he landed on the tracks.
"Man, that was a close one." He said as he wiped his head and looked at his fist with a grin. "So that's what you were trying to tell me, huh Macao?." He asked
Erigor looked at him with his eyes all widened. "That's impossible?" He said.
Natsu looked up and smirked at him. "You must be pretty cold up there in the air, all half-naked and stuff." He taunted. "Would you like me to warm you up?"
"All flames are useless against me, you fly!" Erigor said to him angrily.
Natsu smiled at him. "Yeah? We'll see about that buddy." He said as he then started sucking the air. "Fire Dragon….ROOOAAARRR!" And with that, he unleashed a torrent of flames from his mouth and launched it at Erigor.
But the dark mage wasn't going to let that attack him as he held out his hand. "Storm Wall!" He said, but the shield didn't seem to work as there was an explosion following afterward. This left him dumbfounded a bit.
"This can't be." He thought to himself. "There's no rhyme or reason to these kids' attacks...is this what all Fairy Tail wizards are like?" As he was wondering this, Natsu was smiling at him ferally. But Erigor wasn't going to surrender that easily. "Your powers are remarkable, I'll give you that." He complimented. "But you're still no match for me. I grow tired of this cat and mouse game, time to get serious." He said with a grin.
Natsu returned a grin of his own. "Well then, I'm ready whenever you are pal." He said.
"Then take this!" Erigor said. "Storm Mail!" He said as he swung his scythe in the air and a magic circle came out and using his scythe, he began to cover himself in his own wind, hoping to create armor out of it. "Here I come, Fairy Fly!" He said as he dived right for Natsu.
The Dragon Slayer ignited his fists and jumped right at Erigor, thinking that he could easily take him down, but when his fist made contact with the dark mage, Natsu got sent back to the ground, while seething in pain.
"What's the matter kid?" Erigor taunted him. "Can't handle the breeze?" He asked.
Natsu got up and glared at him. Annoyed that he used a cowardly trick and covered himself in a barrier. "Covering yourself in a Wind Barrier." Natsu said in annoyance, his right fist then ignited. "I'll take it down." He said as he jumped up to Erigor.
"Now Fire Dragon Iron Fist!" He yelled as his fist made contact with Erigors….but I didn't do anything, in fact...Natsu's flame went away after a few seconds.
Erigor Chuckles evilly and Natsu's eyes went wide with shock and confusion. How could this happen?
"But..this can't be." Natsu said, perplexed. "Why did my fire go out?" He asked himself.
Erigor smirked at him. "It's just as I suspected." He said. "Without your flames, you're powerless... It looks like I have the upper hand then." He said as the wind on his body became stronger, sending Natsu back a few inches. "The winds of my Strom Mail attack blow outwardly, ergo if you try to get too close to me, your flames get smothered and blow out. Leaving you powerless against me." He said.
So that's how it happened! Due to him being covered in a barrier, he was basically like a walking fan, when Natsu got too close to him, the wind currents were too much for his flames and it put them out.
But Natsu was not the kind of guy to give up that easily, as he stood his ground and refused to retreat.
Erigor smirked as he then used his magic to hover in the air. "As you can see boy….YOU'RE FIRE WILL NEVER DEFEAT MY WIND!" He yelled as he and Natsu stared each other down.
Meanwhile….
The rest of the Fairy Tail mages were all in the magic mobile and were driving on the tracks in order to catch up with Natsu and Erigor. Unfortunately, they were still far away from them. So Erza was using her magic energy to speed it up. Something that made Jaune worry her a bit.
Speaking of Jaune, he was inside the car with the others, sitting in between Lucy and Happy. And Kageyama was sitting next to Gray.
Kageyama was awake finally, but due to the attack, he felt a bit weak though.
"Why are you taking me with you guys?" He asked them.
"Why do you think?" Lucy asked him. "You need a doctor, and since everyone in clover has evacuated. You have no choice but to see one in Clover. Show us some gratitude." She said as she turned away.
But Kage was a bit confused as to why they saved him though. "But why did you save me though? We're enemies." He said.
Jaune scoffed and turned away, and Lucy looked over at him with a confused look, why did he scoff?
Kage then chuckled a bit. "Oh wait, you guys are just using me as a hostage..to make a deal with Erigor right?" He snorted at them. "Well, you're wasting your time….Erigor doesn't give two damns about me or any of his men." When he said this he didn't sound angry...just down and depressed, like as if he just got dumped and was now moody about it.
Lucy was a bit turned off by it. "Jeeze, try to lighten up dude." She said to him.
Gray looked out the window. "If you want to die, then we can make that happen." He said to the man. Making Lucy and Kage look surprised.
"Gray, calm down." Lucy said.
Jaune, however, had his hand on his sword. "And I can be the one to do it to." He said sharply at him. Jaune was still mad that this guy was helping the man kill the guild masters and he was letting his anger get the best of him.
Lucy looked over at Jaune and was surprised. For the short while, since she knew him, he is a kind guy who rarely got angry...except for what happened at Kaby's mansion..although that was Natsu's fault..sorta.
"Jaune...chill." Lucy said as she put her hand on his own. Jaune turned to look at her for a moment. He sighed calmly as he took his hand off of his sword and turned to face the window. Lucy looked at him with concern, and when she noticed that her hand was still on his…
She quickly let go and looked away for a moment, while sporting a blush on her face.
Gray, not noticing this, looked and turned to face Kageyama. "Listen, dude, there's a lot more to the world then you realize." He said to the man. " More than just life and death. Rather than focusing on the negatives..you and your Eisenwald pals should be focusing on looking at the positives of the world." He said.
Jaune and Lucy both looked at him with awe. They never expected the resident Stripper to say something like that. Lucy gave the Ice Mage a small smile
Jaune looked down and stared at his fingers. Back in Remnant, due to the Grimm, it was hard for people to focus on positive things... But his friend Ruby Rose? She was always the one with a smile on her face, and could always see the positives, rather than the negatives….even though she knew that the world was not all sunshine and rainbows….she never lost her optimism.
Jaune chuckled softly and rubbed the tears from his eyes. It seems like these Fairy Tail mages were the right ones to go to since he came to this world.
Jaune looked at Kage and gave a soft frown, sure he was still angry that he was helping a man commit mass muder...he couldn't help but feel some sympathy for him, what exactly happened to him that let him become like this?
Jaune was processing these thoughts into him. They all felt a big bump and all flew up. Jaune hit his head against the ceiling, which hurt like hell.
"Wrong time to forget to activate my Aura." He thought as he rubbed his head. And Lucy...well..let's just say that Kage got a butt full of her.
"Erza, what happened?" Jaune asked in a worried voice.
"It's alright, everything is fine." Erza called out to him and everyone else. Jaune could tell that something was wrong, from what he remembered, she was using her magic energy to catch up to Natsu, and it felt like she was using way too much, he had to do something.
Lucy apologized to Kage, who was rubbing his face.
"Jeez Blondy, could your butt be any bigger?" He asked.
Well, Lucy did a quick 180 personality change and became furious. "SEXUAL HARASSMENT!" She screamed. "GRAY, JAUNE, KILL HIM! HE SAID I HAD A BIG BUTT!" she screamed.
Gray was mumbling about the moment being ruined, but Jaune was still worried about Erza to listen to Lucy's concern. After a few minutes, he decided to get out of the car and go climb around the front again.
"Where the hell is that moron going?" Kage asking.
Lucy glared at him. "He's going to help Erza out!" She snapped, still not happy about his little...remark about her butt. She, however, looked over to where Jaune was climbing and looked concerned. They were now on tracks, and not a normal road, if Jaune were to fall off, he might die.
"Please be safe Jaune." Lucy thought with anxiety.
Jaune climbed around the front and hung onto the roof as tight as he could. He took notice that Erza was not looking so very good. She must be using up a lot of her magic energy. But Jaune would not let her do it.
"My vision is getting blurry." She thought. "I must have used up more energy back at the station than I thought. "Natsu..please stop Erigor. It's all up-" But she felt something grab onto her shoulder and turned to see who it was.
"Jaune." She thought. She saw her student holding onto the roof while having his hand on her shoulder, pouring all of his Aura into hers. Just like that, Erza began to feel her magic energy being refilled and her vision was no longer becoming blurry. "Jaune!" she said. "I appreciate the help, but you shouldn't do that!"
"I don't want anything happening to you if you're low on energy." He said. "Just please let me help you Erza...I don't want to be seen as a failure and deadweight..please." He said.
Erza looked at him with a confused look. "Why would I view him as a failure, we haven't even begun training yet?" She asked herself. She saw him fight and was amazed at how good he was...but she noticed some concern in his voice, it sounded very desperate….why was he desperate? She would like to know as soon as she got back to the guild and after their lesson.
"Fine." Jaune raised an eyebrow at the female knight, who gave him a small smile. "Ok, you can continue, but when I tell you to stop, you stop. I don't want you drained of all your magic energy as well."
Jaune smiled back at her. "Ok." He said as he then continued to focus. Erza closed her eyes. This boy...he was really something. But why would he view himself as a failure though?
Meanwhile, with Natsu and Erigor….
Natsu was crossing his arms at the front to block the howling wind coming right at him from Erigor.
"Damn, this is getting really intense." Natsu said. "It's like I'm standing inside a typhoon!" He said. All of a sudden, the wind was growing even more intense.
"It's time to put out your flame for good!" Erigor exclaimed as he then put his hands forward and a magic circle appeared. "Now Strom Shred!" He yelled as several air projectiles launched themselves at the Dragon Slayer, who jumped up and dodged out of the way in time of course.
Igniting his feet, Natsu propelled himself at Erigor with his fist engulfed in flames hoping to land a strike on him. But as soon as he got close, the wind around Erigor was pushing him back. "I have to...break through!" He exclaimed, but unfortunately, he was sent back onto the tracks with a big thud.
"Damn!" Natsu said as he got up and took a look at the wind mage. "That wind is so strong, I can't land a single punch on him! Now, what am I going to do?"
Erigor noticed this and smirked down at the boy. "Feeling frustrated already kid?" He taunted. "Don't be so hard on yourself kid. You never had a chance against me anyway." He said as he then laughed. "Oh, but don't you worry, because I'm going to end this right here and now." He then put his arms out to the sides. "My Soaring Phoenix MAgic can rip anything to shreds! Emera Baram!" As he said that, several magic circles appeared and began to circle around.
Happy noticed this and got a bit worried. "Natsu, be careful. This is dangerous magic, so don't let it touch you." He tried to tell him.
Natsu didn't say anything, just growled as he looked up at Erigor, who then crossed both his index and middle fingers of both hands together and grinned.
"Good-Bye, Fairy Tail!" He claimed the magic circle then unleashed a torrent of wind and sent it flying at Natsu.
"GAH!" Natsu yelled as he was sent flying back, he skidded a few times before landing on his back, right in front of Happy.
"Come on Natsu!" Happy called out to him worriedly. "Get up! Please hurray!" The cat yelled out with worry
Erigor saw this and laughed. "I'm pretty impressed." He said. "His body was able to stay in one piece after that attack. For a wizard so young, that's not too shabby." He said with a grin. "But unfortunately you don't have what it takes to take me down. Once I have played a melody on the Lullaby for the old bastards. They will join you in the grave!" He said to him.
Natsu, however, slammed his fist right into the track, startling Happy and Erigor a bit. "All you talk aobut is that stupid flute!" Natsu said to him angrily, as he then took off his shirt. "If you wanna kill the guild masters..then you're gonna have to get through me first!" He said.
"Alright, Natsu!" Happy cheered.
Erigor, however, was shocked. His wind was so strong..but why wasn't this fairy fly down yet? "This is ridiculous, how are you still standing?" He asked angrily.
But Natsu's reply was both of his fists being coated in fire. "Shut up already!" He said to him. "Time to fight, so bring it!" He said as he jumped up.
"I already told you that you were wasting your time!" Erigor said as he looked at Natsu angrily.
But Natsu didn't listen though, as he tried to land a blow on him, the same thing happened as he was sent back to the ground due to the wind in pain. Erigor laughed again, and Natsu was getting annoyed and pissed. He placed his hands again the metal tracks and his fists ignited
"Crap!" He said in anger. "I can't even get close to him! His wind is too strong!" He said, Happy noticed this and called out to him in concern. The flames around Natsu were flaring up to a great extent as he was growling in anger. "I HAVE TO BEAT HIM!" He screamed as the fire around him grew even further,
Erigor noticed that his fire was getting really intense for him and narrowed his eyes. "So, the angrier he gets, the more intense his flames become." He said.
Happy was amazed because he could tell that due to Natsu flames becoming intense, the winds around them were beginning to change direction, this left the blue cat.
With a mighty yell, Natsu pulled the metal tracks from the ground. And the heat around him and Erigor was getting more intense.
Erigor was shocked, this just didn't make any sense. This kid's magic...it was something else. "Flames of Emotion?" He thought. "But that's ancient magic. Where and how the hell did this brat learn to use it?" Just as he was pondering these thoughts, he could feel his wind turning direction...and the winds were going somewhere else….towards Natsu!
"What?" Erigor thought in shock. "My wife is being drawn towards him."
"That's it!" Happy exclaimed, what was he planning? As Natsu was yelling even louder, Happy called out to him, this made Natsu turn a bit to hear what his cat partner wanted to say.
"Just give up." Happy said waving his paw in the air. "Let Gray handle this, you kinda suck and you aren't going to win." He said.
Natsu's flames went out like an instant as he looked over at the cat with wide eyes. Really? Did he just say..that he wasn't going to win?
Natsu's flames burst again..only this time…
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" He screamed in fury. At this point, his flames were growing even further, so much that it was blowing away Erigor's Storm Mail, much to his shock and confusion.
After a few minutes, the wind all vanished, leaving Erigor out in the open. Now I would tell you all how Natsu did it...but I'll just let Happy here explain.
(Thanks Mr. Author, as you all can read, or from watching the episode in the anime or reading and seeing this part in the manga, Natsu's flames are heating the air around him. The hot air is creating a vertical updraft, which can also create a low-pressure area, and the wind will always blow from High-Pressure to Low-Pressure areas.)
(Wow, Happy…..I didn't think you knew much about Science and all that junk.)
(Yea, I am pretty smart but you also seem to be lazy in not explaining it yourself buddy.)
(I was never great in Science Class alright? Get off my back! *sigh* Anyway, here's your bucket of fish I promised)
(Thanks, Mr. Author! Call me again if you need more explanation...or if you're just lazy *snickers* Bye!)
(That cat, I swear...right folks, now we can get back to the story!)
"I'M GONNA TAKE YOU DOWN!" Natsu yelled at Erigor, making the dark mage flinch a bit.
"His magic is so strong." He thought with shock. "Surely..he couldn't be…!" But his thoughts were soon wiped out when Natsu gave a mighty yell and jumped right at him, with Natsu's head going right for Erigor's stomach.
The dark mage coughed out some spit due to eye pain and the feel of the impact, but unfortunately for him, Natsu wasn't done yet.
"Now Fire Dragon...SWORD EDGE!" He yelled as he used his flames to spin Erigor around and threw him into the sky.
Erigor was sent flying into the air as Natsu was looking onward with anger on his face. Erigor started to fall down and land, right on the tracks. Natsu had won, and Erigor had been beaten.
"Dragon Slayers….they really do exist!" Erigor thought as his vision became blurry and finally passed out in defeat.
Natsu spit out some blood from his mouth and wiped it, all the while he smirked "So Happy, did you like that?" He asked.
"Oh, yea!" The cat said happily. "You showed him that if you mess with the Salamander, then you're gonna get roasted." He said as he raised a paw in the air.
Natsu, however, didn't really find his comment very good, especially when he remembered that little snarky remark Happy made a little while ago.
"You sure didn't sound so sure about it earlier." He said in annoyance.
Happy however looked at him innocently. "Well, you should know that cats have short-term memories."
"Yea but you said that I would never beat him and that I should leave it to Erza or something." Natsu said crossing his arms
"Jeeze, your memory is worse than mine, I said Gray, not Erza. Well, it doesn't even matter, cause you're the one who won."
Natsu stared at his cat partner for a little bit before smiling. "Darn right I did, still though." He said as he looked confused. "I wonder how I did that last attack though... But who cares right? It was awesome!"
"Darn right sir!" Happy said happily. And just like that, the two began laughing. Unaware that a certain flute was on the ground nearby glowing….this was not good.
"Natsu!" A familiar voice called and Happy turned to set the magic mobile riding over to them and smiled.
"Hey, you guys just missed me kicking Erigor's butt!" He called out to them. With Happy raising his paw in the air.
Everyone got out of the car, but Jaune was seen supporting Erza though because her arm 3was around him as he was holding her. Seems like Erza told Jaune to stop giving her some energy and she used more of it to catch up
"Are you sure you're alright Erza?" Jaune asked concerningly.
"Yea, don't worry about me." She said to him. "But still, thank you." she said, giving him a small smile, a smile that he returned. When Lucy saw him smiling at Erza, for some weird reason, she felt a bit angry at it though...but why?
Kageyama saw Erigor on the ground and was shocked. The ace of the Eisenwald guild had been beaten? There's no way!
"But how though?" He thought. "Erigor never loses to anyone." As he was trying to process all of this, he took notice of something on the ground.
"I can't believe you had a hard time with this punk." Gray said to Natsu, who simply crossed his arms in annoyance.
"I never said that I had a hard time with him, Stripper!" Natsu shot back at him. "I took care of him didn't I?"
"I was honestly getting worried there for a moment." Happy said, joining in on the conversation. All Gray could say was whatever in an annoyed tone in his voice.
"And besides. "Gray said. "You look pretty dumb, wearing a scarf while half-naked." He said. Despite the fact that he was half-naked himself….
"Oh like you got room to talk." Natsu shot at him. "Hey Lucy, let me borrow your clothes."
"YEAH RIGHT!" The blond girl said, making Erza giggle a bit and Jaune to smile" You want a shirt? Why don't you wear Jaune's?" She asked, making the blond knight look at her weirdly.
"Yea, like I want to wear a hoodie with a bunny on it." Natsu said.
Jaune then gave him a dirty look. "Hey! I like the hoodie, thank you very much!" Jaune said to him angrily. He then heard some giggling and turned to see Erza was the one who was doing it.
"You have a bunny on your hoodie?" She asked him while smirking. This made Jaune's face turn red of embarrassment. "Well anyway, god work Natsu." She said to the pink-haired boy. "Because of you, all the guild masters will be safe now." And with that Lucy nodded her head and smiled, and so did the others.
"So now what do we do?" Jaune asked.
"Well now that we are here. We should possibly stop by the guild masters conference to tell them what happened, and ask them how we can properly dispose of Lullaby." She said to him and the others.
"I agree." Happy said, raising a paw in the air. "Afterall, we are so close to Clover anyway."
"Alright then." Jaune said. "Now, where is that flu-?"
BAM
"Kage!" Erza called out.
"What the hell are you doing?!" Jaune called out in anger.
A powerful blast kicked everyone off of their feet and landed on the ground, everyone looked up to see Kage, using his shadow magic to take the magic mobile, and that wasn't the only thing..he had the Lullaby Flute!
Kage laughed as he stared at them all. "You flys shouldn't have let your guards down! The Lullaby is mine!" He said as he began to take off in the magic mobile down the tracks. The Fairies were all shocked at this deception, and after they save his life too!
"That jerk!" Natsu called out in anger.
"This is how he pays us back for saving his life?" Lucy explained in an angry way.
"After him!" Erza called out and everyone all made a run for him.

Clover/Guild Masters Conference
Kage was right outside of the conference building overlooking it.
"Yea, this will work." He thought to himself. "Hopefully they'll be able to hear Lullaby's song from here." He said as a grin appeared on his face. "Finally, revenge is mine." He thought again But then, unfortunately for him, he heard some noises….weird noises.
SMOOCH
SMOOCH
The noises made the dark mage freak out a bit. Someone was here! And they most likely see him! His plan was doomed!
He turned around to see who it was making the noises, and it turned out to be Makarov Dreyar, the Guild Master of Fairy Tail, reading a Sorcerer's Weekly Magazine and ogling at the women in their clothes.
"Oh, there's lots of hotties in this week's issue." He said with a big stupid grin on his face. Yep, the old man was quite the pervert.. "Man, young wizard ladies are much more powerful now then they were in my day...and quite sexier too." He said.
Kage was watching all of this and was looking a bit confused and perplexed. Was this old man really the Guild Master of Fairy Tail? What with him talking about girls and wearing that weird outfit of his.
"*Grrr* I don't have time for this." Makarov said as he shook his head and rolled up the magazine. "I have to catch up to those brats before they destroy a whole town!" He said. After hearing about Erza, Gray, and Natsu teaming up, he decided to leave early to go stop them before they destroy something...as it would end up having Makarov to deal with paperwork again…and possibly get a heart attack...
Just as he was about to leave he turned around, and when he saw Kage..he freaked out.
"GGAAHH!" The tiny old man yelled as he was not trying to come up with an excuse as to why he had the magazine, one of them was saying that he was researching on female wizards and that it was an innocent act and he had no reason to be ashamed of it.
"I really don't care what you're doing old man." Kage said to him. Makarov heard him and sighed in relief, knowing that this boy would not rat him out in any way. But when he got a look at him, his face became one of concern after seeing the bandages.
"Oh, you've been hurt badly, my boy." He said. "You know, you really shouldn't be wandering around the woods in this kind of condition." He said.
"Yea, you're right." Kage said. "I still can't believe that's Makarov...why do I keep running into those fairy flies?" He thought with dread. Makarov started to walk away, but Kage stopped him for a minute. Kage then held up the Lullaby in his hands. "I suppose you'd care to hear a song?" He asked. "Because I was in the hospital, they wouldn't let me play it while I was being treated. So it would mean alot to me to play for someone."
Makarov took a look at the flute and looked confused. "Hmm, that's one weird-looking flute you got their boy." He said.
Kage chuckled a bit. "I know it looks weird and creepy, but it has a beautiful sound though. Please?"
Makarov opened his eyes and began to ponder it...he should be going...but he guessed it wouldn't hurt to hear one little tune, so he relented and allowed Kage to play.
"Oh, thank you sir." Kage said with a smile but then opened his eyes slightly with a smug look in his eyes. "We win." He thought with malice in his voice. "Anyway sir, try to listen to it very carefully."
"Ok then." Makarov said to him.
Kage then held up the flute and breathed deeply. "This is it." He thought to himself. Finally, Eisenwald's revenge would be complete. In his mind, he was reading all of his guildmates explaining about how legal guilds suck and all. And Erigor's voice was heard as well
"Finally, we will have our revenge on these old fools for making us live in darkness!" Erigor said angrily in Kage's mind. As Kage was about to put his mouth on the flute..he heard other voices, only these voices were not of his guild..they were of other people.
"So you're basically killing innocent people because you got your rights taken away?" The blond knight's voice said. "How petty can you possibly be?"
"He's right!" The blond girl's voice said in his head. "And besides, killing them is not going to get you;r rights back!"
When he heard those voices, Kage was feeling something...was it hesitation? No! These guild masters had to pay. They just had to!
Then the stripper's voice was in his head now. "Listen dude, there's a lot more to the world then you realize. More than just life and death. Rather than focusing on the negatives..you and your Eisenwald pals should be focusing on looking at the positives of the world."
"Kage, don't you dare die on us you hear?" The red knight's voice said in his head.
"How could you do this to one of your friends?" Natsu's voice said in his head. "He's A member of your guild….AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY HIM?"
Kage's eyes were wide when he heard all of those voices in his head, and he was sweating nervously...could he...really do this?
Meanwhile, Team Fairy Tail were nearby and watching from afar, and this worried them greatly.
"It's them!" Jaune said as he had his hand on his sword.
"Master!" Erza cried. But before any of them could do something..
"Shh!" A whispering voice said from behind them. Everyone (sans Erza) freaked out when they saw him. It was MAster Bob of the Blue Pegasus Guild.
"Keep quit, we're just about to get to the good part." He said to them.
"Who is this weirdo…?" Jaune thought with a weird look on his face. Never had he seen someone dressed like that before, not even in Remnant did he see someone in clothes like that.
Bob was complimenting Natsu and Gray, which made both boys be uncomfortable and they both shuddered in fright.
Lucy was hiding behind Erza and Jaune was just watching while standing next to her.
"Who is that guy?" Lucy asked as Bob then shoved Natsu and Gray out of the way….with his rear end…
"That's Master Bob." Erza said to both blonds. While she seemed alright compared to the others, if one could look closely, there was a beat of sweat going down her head.
Jaune then looked at the man with interest, so was he another Guild Master? If so, then what guild did he belong to?
"Oh?" Bob said as he went right up to Jaune, making the blond knight weirded out. "So this is the new Jaune I heard so much about huh?" Bob asked in a weird tone of voice. "Well, he certainly does look yummy."
"YUMMY?!" Jaune thought while his skin was going a bit pale. If anyone of his friends from Remnant heard that, they would tease him to hell, especially Nora and Yang.
Meanwhile, Kage and Makarov were still outside, and Gage still hasn't played the flute yet. And Makarov was getting a bit impatient.
"Well?" He asked the boy. "I can't wait all night young man." He said. Kage breathed slightly and after a minute of hesitation, he started to put his mouth on the flute.
"Oh No!" Erza said with worry, and made everyone else worry...but Natsu, Gray, and Jaune were all three grappled by Bob. And someone else was watching with interest.
"Could you guys keep it down, please? We're just getting to the good part." Goldmine said as he was watching the whole scene with a smile on his face.
"Who's he?" Jaune asked while trying to get out of Bob's grip.
"He's with the Quatro Cerberus Guild: The Master, Goldmine." Erza explained.
"Goldmine?" Jaune thought. "Huh, such interesting names. What kind of magic does he wield?"
As Makarov was waiting, and Kage was hesitating to go through with it...the flute began to glow from its eyeholes…
"What are you doing?" Kage thought to himself. "You can do this...just one song, just one song, and everything will change!" He thought.
Makarov was watching and then breathed a bit. "You know, things are not going to change, young man." He said. This made Kage widen his eyes. Did the old man read his mind or something?! Makarov turned the other way. "You can't change the fact that the people who are weak, will remain weak forever. Maybe it's just me..but I don't think it is a bad idea. You see, humans are weak creatures by nature, and our insecurities are the sole reason our guilds exist in the first place. And it's the reason why we have friends. When we're surrounded by friends and allies, it's easier to stay positive about the future. Think of it like this: If we're clumsy, then we might stumble and bump into things. But as long as we have faith for the future, then we can continue to march forward and outer inner strength can grow and emerge on its own. But we all have to choose to walk that path and make a pledge to live our lives to the fullest." Makarov ended his speech by giving him a heartwarming grin. "Don't let that flute get in your way."
Kage was a bit shocked at hearing him...all his life, the Eisenwald guild had said tuff about revenge and all that stuff….could he really do it? Could he...be able to lie life to the fullest?
At this point, Kage dropped the flute on the ground. This made everyone look at him with a smile. While Jaune was a bit conflicted...he really changed just like that...he never would have thought that it would happen like that...this world...it was something else entirely.
"I surrender." Kage said as he dropped to his knees and bowed towards Makarov. The old man smiled and heard some noises.
"Master!" Erza said as he and the others were running to him.
"You stopped him!" Natsu said.
"Way to go gramps!" Gray said with a smile.
Makarov was a bit shocked at seeing his kids here in Clover and asked them how they got here, but his answer was not answered as Erza was giving him a hug...that hurt his head due to her chest plate.
Jaune was watching all of this and looked confused. While he is glad that Makarov was alright, he was still confused as to how Kage just gave up like that. A few hours ago, he was spotting on how he is going to kill the guild masters and get revenge...but not here he is..and he gave up! He looked down and sighed a bit, still perplexed a bit.
He then felt something...something malicious. As his hand was going onto his sword, there was foul evil laughter in the air.
"HA-HAHAHA, I GROW TIRED OF YOU HUMANS AND YOUR ANTICS!" It said as a black mist and purple lighting was coming out of it. Everyone turned to see it and was shocked.
"What's going on?" Gray asked. As he asked this, a large purple magic circle appeared in the sky as the black mist was going up into it.
"I CAN'T HOLD BACK NO LONGER! IF YOU WON'T USE ME, THEN I'LL DEVOUR YOU ALL MYSELF!" The voice said as a light flashed, making everyone cover their eyes.
When the light vanished, there was a large monster that looked like it was made of wood towering over them all.
"It's so big!" Lucy exclaimed in shock.
"Way to state the obvious." Happy said to her.
"Happy, now is not the time!" Jaune said seriously to the cat. But he looked up at it and was shocked, this thing was so big! He bet that this thing could take on a Nevermore, Goliath, or a Death Stalker and come out on top.
Kage was even more shocked, he didn't think Lullaby would turn into this! Erigor never even mentioned it.
"It must be a Demon from the Book of Zeref." Goldmine told them all.
This made Jaune's eyes go wide. Did he just say Demon? What The hell kind of creatures were in this world? If there were demons in this world, and this is what they were like, then it would make Grimm look like cute animals in comparison.
"But why did it turn into a monster though?" Lucy asked nervously.
"You're all looking at the Lullaby's true form." He explained. So this thing..was the flutes true form? "It's considered forbidden black magic. Living Magic; this is Zeref's specialty." Goldmine said to them all.
"Living Magic?" Erza and Jaune asked together. Jaune doesn't remember reading about this in the book he borrowed.
"Who's Zeref?" Gray asked.
"From What I can remember reading." Jaune explained. "Apparently, he was one of the evilest wizards ever known in the world." He said grimly.
"That's right." Bob said. "Back in his day, he was very powerful. But I never knew that his dark legacy could come back again." He said.
The Lullaby approached them all and grinned wickedly at them. "NOW THEN...WHICH ONE OF THESE DELECTABLE SOULS SHOULD I DEVOUR FIRST?" It asked. The Fairy Tail wizards (sans Lucy) were not afraid and stood their ground.
"Delectable, huh?" Natsu asked...but then turned over to face the others. "Hey guys, do you think souls are tasty?"
"The hell kind of question is that?" Jaune asked him with a raised eyebrow in an annoyed tone of voice.
"How should we know?" Gray asked in a similarly annoyed tone of voice.
Lucy however sighed. "Always thinking of eating!" She said.
Erza turned to face the others. "Natsu, Gray, get everyone to safety!" She said to them.
But they were not happy about receiving orders though.
"You ain't the boss of us!" Natsu said to her.
"Yea, stop giving us orders!" Gray said to her...but unfortunately.
Erza gave them one of her famous death glares. "Just do it!" she said to them. And they did it without a second glance, once Erza told you to do something...you DO IT! No questions asked.
"Aye Ma'am!" The two idiots said as they made a run for it.
"Another Happy impression?" Lucy asked with dread.
Jaune shook his head and chuckled a bit at seeing them act like that. He bet that it would be the same if Ms. Goodwich did the same. But he then shook his head, knowing that it was not the time to think about that. They had to take care of this monster somehow.
"YOU ALL DOUBT MY POWER?" Lullaby asked. "FINE, LET ME SHOW YOU, FOOLS!" It said as it then fired a beam from its mouth toward a mountain..that exploded right on impact!
The light flashed and everyone covered their eyes for a moment. After the lights faded, they all saw this might of that power and got worried.
"Yep!" Jaune thought. "This thing could definitely take down a Nevermore, Deathstalker, or a Goliath Grimm!" He said a bit fearfully. Heck if this thing was in Remnant, it would take a large army of Huntsman and Huntresses to take this monstrosity down.
"I GOT NO USE FOR THOSE PATHETIC HUMAN SOLDIERS!" It said as it then focuses its attention on everyone else. "BUT I DO ENJOY THE TASTE OF A WIDARD'S SOUL. AND YOURS WILL BE THE ONES I CONSUME!" It said to them all.
Natsu however was not intimidated. "Oh yeah?" He asked challengingly. "I'd like for you to come down and see you try! So bring it!"
Good luck!" Jaune turned to see a majority of the guild masters had all backed away very far away.
"Can those three really defeat Lullaby on their own?" Lucy asked with concern.
"Why don't you both help them?" Happy asked the two blonds.
Lucy, however, turned her head away from both fright and embarrassment. "Well I would, but unfortunately none of my spirits are available right now and we'd probably slow them down. Right Jaune?" she asked. But Jaune was not focused on her as he looked down.
"That's a pretty good excuse." The cat said to her, and that did not amuse the girl one bit.
"Don't judge me you stupid feline!" She said to him angrily.
Jaune was looking down on the ground while trembling a bit. After everything he went through at Beacon, Haven….he was angry...angry at himself. He made a vow that as long as he was here...he would not be a burden anymore!
"No!" He said in anger, making both Lucy and Happy startled in shock. "I will not be a burden anymore, I will not slow anyone down….I will not be dead weight!" He said as he glared up at the demon. "I wasn't afraid of a Grimm, and I sure as hell won't be afraid of some overgrown toothpick!" He said as he ran up to Erza and the others. Making Lucy look at him with awe.
"Jaune…!" she whispered with wide eyes. But then something came into her mind...what's a Grimm?
Before Erza and the other two boys could attack, she saw Jaune coming up to them.
"Jaune!" Erza said. "What are you doing? You pos-" but was interrupted as Jaune looked into her eyes.
"Erza..please, let me help….I don't want to hold anyone back, I will help however I can. Just please let me fight as well….please!" He pleaded. Erza, Natsu, and Gray looked into his pleading eyes. They could tell that he was serious, but they were even more confused about why he would suggest that he would hold them back?
Erza sighed and rubbed his head. "Alright, but stay close to the ground where I can see you, alright?" She asked sternly.
"Yes Ma'am!" Jaune said with a smile on his face, Erza nodded and turned to face Lullaby
"Alright!" Erza said to them. "Me, Gray, and Natsu will attack from the top. Jaune, you try to bring this thing down from the bottom. Can you handle it?"
"I promise to do my very best!" Jaune said determinedly as he brought out his sword and shield and got ready.
"Alright then." She said as she got out her swords. "Let's do it!"
"Right!" The three boys said as they all began to go right at Lullaby. While Erza, Natsu, and Gray jumped. Jaune ran for the legs.
"If I can get its legs, I might be able to bring it down easier and the head might be the vulnerable part." He thought as he then ran towards the legs.
Meanwhile, Erza requipped into her Heaven's Wheel Armor and slashed Lullaby right in the torso, causing the demon to scream in pain.
Gray had his fist in his plasma as an icy breeze swirled around him. He looked up with a determined face. "Ice-Make: Lace!" He said as a volley of Lance-shaped Ice shot towards Lullaby, making it scream even further.
Natsu slammed his fists together as flames erupted around him. "My turn now!" He said as he jumped up and ignited his fist. "Now Fire Dragon….IRON FIST!" He yelled as he then gave a fiery punch at the demon, making it scream in pain even further.
Lucy and the others were watching with awe as some of the other wizards of the conference were making comments about the attacks that Natsu, Erza, and GRay were doing.
"Wow...they're all amazing!" Lucy thought with awe.
Jaune meanwhile saw their attacks and he was in amazement as well. This world was crazy powerful, heck even crazier powerful than Remnant. But he quickly shook those feelings and thoughts away, knowing that he still had to take care of the legs.
"Alright!" He said as he put his sword in his shield and pushed a button. When he did this, the sword became even bigger as the shield was merging with it. Jaune had this happen after he, Ruby, Nora, and Ren saved a village when they were still traveling to Heaven, and the Blacksmith was kind enough to update his armor and weaponry.
"RAGH!" Jaune said as he slashed at Lullaby's legs, but unfortunately, it didn't really do any damage at all. This made Jaune look at his weapon and is shocked he was able to slice through a Nuckelavee, but not a hunk of wood? What the heck?
"RAGH!" It said as it looked down at Erza, Gray, and Natsu. "YOU'RE ALL MAKING ME MAD!" It yelled as it tried to swipe at them, but they were able to dodge out of the way in time. It then looked down at Jaune. "And you're making me mad, you little bastard!" It screamed as it raised it's foot and tried to squish him, but Jaune was fortunate enough to get out of the way, despite that he skidded a few feet away and land on his but
Erza, Gray and Natsu still continued to use their attacks on it. And due to their combination attacks, it was a sight to see.
"Wow, their combo attacks are powerful!" Kage said with wide eyes of shock.
"And they're all in sync!" Lucy said, happily adding with them. Lucy could not see Jaune, but she felt a bit worried for him.
While Erza was slicing through Lullaby, she couldn't see Jaune either and if one could look closely, there was a sign of worry in her eyes.
But at this point, Lullaby had enough! It was sick of these humans kicking its ass. And now...they were all going to die! Lullaby then gave a mighty roar as a magic circle appeared in the sky, and its mouth was glowing. At this point, everyone felt the breeze it heh air was going towards it.
When Jaune looked around, he saw the trees and grass start to die off. This shocked him greatly, but what was that monster doing? Absorbing the life out of nature?
"Just one note, and you souls will belong to me!" Lullaby said as it began to growl.
"It's going to play its song!" Lucy exclaimed and everyone on the ground prepared for the worse.
And finally Lullaby was about to play its song.
"*Wheezy weak note*" Unfortunately instead of some rich melody, instead there came a rather weak note of some kind. This made not only Lullaby confused, but also everyone else somewhat.
"What Happened?" Lucy asked with shock in her voice. Even Jaune is a bit confused by the sound.
"Nothing really." Happy explained.
The Lullaby was also shocked, why couldn't it play it's melody of death? As it was asking itself this question. Kage came up with an answer.
"It must because of all those holes in it!" He exclaimed.
Jaune heard this and looked up, and he could see it now. Apparently, when Natsu, Erz, and Gray did their attacks, they left some holes in Lullaby so much that it ruined its sound!
Lucy thought of that reason as well and then deadpanned. "Well all that built up for nothing?" she asked.
"Well, Flute's are pretty lame anyway." Happy said. Jaune heard this and kinda shrugged his shoulders a bit. He was more of a guitar kind of guy.
However, Lullaby heard what the cat said, and let's just say...it was not amused one bit.
"YOU DARE MOCK ME?!" It screamed in fury. "I'LL BLAST YOU ALL INTO OBLIVION!" It's eyes glowed again as it was about to fire off a beam of light towards them all.
But luckily, Gray arrived in time to help them all out.
"His hands glowed a bright blue color as he looked up. "Now Ice-Make…." Lullaby then fired off it;s beam at them, but it was blocked by a wall of Ice, made by Gray. "SHIELD!" He finished.
All the wizards were amazed at his Maker Magic, calling it spectacular and amazing.
"What's Maker Magic?" Lucy asked. And Happy answered for her.
Maker Magic is a type of magic that allows the user to use their magic to give it a Tangible form." He explained. "Gray's Ice-Make Magic allows him to create weapons made of Ice. and we have another Maker Wizard back at the guild named Laki, who can use Wood Maker Magic. But there are also other types that can destroy it though." He said.
Lucy listened to the cat and was intrigued. These wizards were something else.
Jaune thought the same thing as he was busy trying to slice Lullabies legs, but to no effort.
"Damn!" He said. "Why isn't this working?" He asked himself as his blade wasn't doing anything, but little scratches, what was going on? After a few minutes, he just stopped and ran far ahead to watch the action. He was not yet strong enough to take on something like this. And so he just ran far and watched, as he was seeing the three fight, he couldn't help but admire their strength….all he could do was hope to become strong like them.
"I'M GONNA KILL ALL OF YOU!" Lullaby screamed as all the fire around it began to vanish and go into a different direction, it turned to see that it was Natsu who was absorbing all of the fire and sucking in his mouth.
Natsu took all of the fire in his mouth and gave out a big burp. "Ahh, that was some tasty fire, thanks for the meal buddy! Because now I really got a fire in my belly!" He said with a grin.
Lullaby angrily looked down at him for this stunt he pulled. "YOU'RE NOT HUMAN!" It said. "YOU'RE A MONSTER!" It said as it tried to hit the ground where Natsu was, but luckily the Dragon Slayer dodged out of the way and ran up its arm.
"Oh, yea? Like you got room to talk!" He said as he ran up further, making the demon yell at him to stop climbing it.
Erza then requipped herself with new armor. This armor was all black with silver trimming and covered most of her body. There was a neck guard decorated with gems, had shoulder pads that were composed of two silver-edged plates with silver crossed on them, she also had on a high collar that resembled a dress due to it's shape, also her silver-edged breastplate revealed most of her cleavage and belly, had plates that flanked her hips and reached down to her large waist guard that had long silver-edged plates that were feather-shaped and decorated with silver crosses. Also, the waist guard left the front of Erza's body exposed, with her...private area was covered by a dark indument. The gauntlets she was equipped with protection and sported silver patterns, she also had silver-edged blackguards on her legs, knees, and thighs. But the most distinguishing thing about this armor was that it sported a pair of wings that looked lit. It belonged to a bat, and her hair was tied up into a high ponytail. This armor? the Black Wing Armor
Jaune blushed a bit at seeing her in that armor, but when he saw her with her hair like that...it looked so familiar.
"Pyrrha…" Jaune whispered as a tear went down his eye. Of course, he knew that Pyrrha was dead, but when Erza had that ponytail up...he could not help but feel reminded of his former teammate. He could feel some of the negativity coming back to him, but he had to quickly shake these feelings away, for he had to stay focused on them...but he could not help but feel a bit intimidated by seeing how powerful they all were...did he have potential to become as strong as them? Could he do it? Only time will tell for him.
Meanwhile, Erza, Gray, and Natsu all unleashed their attacks, with Erza slicing through Lullabies head, and GRay shooting it with more Ice projectiles onto it, which made Lullaby scream in pain again. And finally, Natsu covered both of his hands.
"The fire of my left hand, and the fire of my right hand. Put them together! "He said as he then slammed them both together and created a big ball of fire that he was holding. "AND THIS IS WHAT YOU GET! Fire Dragon...BRILLIANT FLAME!" He yelled as he then threw the big ball of fire at Lullaby,
"NOOOO!" It screamed as the fire made contact with it, and caused a great beam of light to go up into the sky, and with electricity cracking a bit. There was a small explosion of tiny particles. Out of everyone;s eyeshot, the Lullaby has turned back into a harmless flute.
Meanwhile everyone was amazed, Lucy and Jaune even.
"Wow Makky, your kids are amazing." Bob said with praise.
And Goldmine was also impressed by their accomplishment. "Those kids made defeating Seref's demon look like a walk in the park." He said with a smile on his face.
Lucy giggled and smiled. These guys, sure they were a bit...odd. But She couldn't help but be amazed at how awesome they worked together as a team.
Kageyama was even more shocked. Never had he imagined that a Fairy Tail Wizard was this powerful! It was...amazing!
"Are the Wizards of Fairy Tail really this strong?" He asked as Natsu Gray, and Erza came out of the dust and had determined looks on their faces.
"No doubt about it, they are the strongest team!" Lucy said with a big grin. With Happy and Makarov agreeing.
As the others went up to them, Jaue stayed behind. He no doubt was happy for them, but a part of him felt really intimidated and a bit self-doubting. No one i s Remnant could beat them, heck, not even the best Huntsman if they could try….but...since he was here...could he be able to reach up to their level? OR would he just be another one of the weak ones? Even back at Beacon, he got better...but he was still behind the others in terms of combat.
"Can I really do it?" He asked himself as he looked down to see his sword and then his shield...he had to do it...he needed to be better...somehow. But then he was then interrupted by Natsu, who was calling him over.
"Hey Jaune, what are you doing spacing out for?" He asked.
"Huh? Oh..nothing, sorry." He said as he sheepishly rubbed the back of his head as he walked over to them. "ALos...sorry, I tried to see if I could take it down from the bottom….but that wood was way too durable though."
"It's fine Jaune." Makarov said with a grin. "Not everyone can handle something like that."
"I am glad you're alright to Jaune." Erza said as she brought his head over to her chest plate. "You are good, but I know you can be better." She said.
"Right." He said with a small smile.
As they were all standing together, Kageyama was watching them all with a small smile on his face.
"You know, they're odd, but they are all stronger than I am." He said. "I wonder…" He thought. "If i didn't let Erigor talk all that stuff...could I have joined Fairy Tail?" As he thought this over he felt a hand touch his shoulder.
But said hand grabbed him and hugged him, and the culprit? Bob, who was talking about getting him a doctor, and having the poor Kage just asking him to let him go.
Goldmine was looking at the Fairy Tail mages with a smile. "You know, I can't really say that I know what happened here. But I think it;s pretty obvious that we owe Fairy Tail our thanks, right?" He asked the other wizards.
"Uh...should we?" One wizard asked.
"Yea, even so, I must say…" At this point Jaune noticed that Erza was looking behind her...and from the look it was showing..it was one that looked shocked and horrified, so he and the others turned to see what it was she was horrified about and when Jane saw what it was...he went pale.
The ENTIRE Conference building….destroyed, well not really destroyed...but totally obliterated! Those attacks alone obliterated a whole building.
"JUST HOW STRONG WAS THAT ATTACK?!" Jaune yelled in his head as sweat went down his head nervously.
Makarov was just as shocked as Jaune, due to his mouth being gaped open, and having him tremble in fright and sweat going down his head.
"The whole hall's been destroyed!" Lucy exclaimed with shock.
"Aye." Happy said. "And there are also a few mountain tops missing." He said cheerfully.
"Not really helping Happy!" Jaune said to him. He then saw Makarov shaking and got nervous. "Uh...Sir? Are you alright?" He asked nervously. But then the old man groaned a bit and much to both Jaune, Erza, and Lucy's horror, a little white ghost was emerging from his body.
"Something came out!" Happy said with shock in his voice.
Natsu, however, laughed, knowing how they really made a mess this time. And while he was busy laughing like no tomorrow, Erza was chasing after the little ghost, with Jaune's help.
"We're so sorry Sir!" Jaune said with worry in his voice.
"Please forgive us!" Erz Said worriedly as the two knights were chasing after the ghost. Meanwhile, Lucy was looking at how all the other guild masters were yelling angrily at them for the destruction they caused. But Goldmine and Bob were the only ones not complaining and were shown to be smiling...what?
"Huh, I guess kids really do take after their parents." Goldmine said with a smirk.
"I know, they're just like us when we were young." Bob said with a smile on his face.
Kage smirked a bit. "Oh, yea? Back in Ancient Times?" He asked with some sarcasm. But Bob, however, looked at him with that same smile.
"You know Kage, I used to look just like you back when I was younger." He said
This made Kage go wide-eyed. "Say what?!" He exclaimed shockingly. Bob conjured up a picture to show much of the wizard when they were young. And much to Kage's shock, Bob really did use to look like Kage as a young man.
"So wait….I'M GONNA BE BALD AND FAT WHEN I GET OLDER?!" Kage exclaimed with shock and horror as he was too trembling and shaking.
Goldmine looked at the young man and smiled. "So what do you think, kid? Since you have seen what it's like to be part of a legal guild." He said.
"Yea," Bob said. "They are much more fun than those awful Dark Guilds." He said. But unfortunately, Kage's ghost came out of his body as well.
"Huh? Something came out." Goldmine said in a not so shocked tone.
At this point. Natsu stopped laughing and looked at all the angry guild masters. "Oh sorry, are you guys trying to get someone? I'll do it for you." He said, not really knowing the fact that the ones they want...is him.
"YOU'RE THE ONE WE'RE AFTER DUMYQ" They all screamed.
"Oh yeah... that's right!" Natsu said with a big grin on his face. After this Jaune and Erza had managed to put Makarov's soul back in, but the old man was still too tired and weak for what happened. They both turned to see the rest of the Fairy Tail mages running away and Jaune was confused.
"What's going 0-" But was interrupted as Erza grabbed him by the arm and they all took off.
"No time Jaune! Just run!" She said as they all began to get chased by the other wizards. All Jaune could think of was..
"Yep, just what did I get myself into?" He thought in dread as they all tried to get out of there in one piece. As they were Running Erza looked over Jaune and raised an eyebrow...when he mentioned not being dead weight...why did he say something like that? Did something happen to him in his old town or something? After they get back tot he guild and did their training...she would want to know.
And that wraps up the Lullaby Arc everyone! :) I hope you all enjoyed it. So next chapter is not going to be original and it will mainly focus on Jaune and Erza. While some of it is going to be the training, but the rest of the chapter will go like in canon, with Erza preparing to fight Natsu, and her getting arrested. I'm going to say this again. Jaune and Erza are NOT going to be in a relationship. I am only going to have their relationship be a sibling relationship. Next chapter they will trim for bi and get to know more about each other...I am not going to have Jaunr reveal all about Remant, but some of his time at school might be brought up. But he might give a little white lie aobut it though because he is still nervous aobut telling them aobut where he is from and all. I need time to think about it.
So as I was writing the fight, Some of you might be wondering how Jaune's big blade didn't ut through Lullaby. Well if you remember seeing Volume 4 and him slicing through the Nuckeleeve, that waa Grimm, this is a Demon. And I don't think the blade was strong enough to handle it, especially if it's one of Zeref's Demons, plus Jaune is still new to the world and enemies here are much stronger than the Grimm But he will get stronger as the story progresses.
Also, how are you all holding out due to this pandemic? I just want to know if you guys are all doing alright. If you are, good, and if you aren't I hope you all get better soon. To all of you, please be careful out there alright?
Also please don't forget to read and review, I am always happy to hear from you guys and to answer any questions you might have for me.
I will see you next time :)
