Episode 007: Flame and Wind
Recap...
Previously on Starry Heavens: Bonds of Friendship, Magic & Love, after defeating Duke Everlue and Lucy reclaiming Virgo. After Lucy and Lisanna returned to the guild hall, Kyuri Yuki Kuruwa joined Fairy Tail and ended up joining Team Lucy along with Gray and Erza. The reason for Gray and Erza joining Team Lucy is because Erza requested the assistance of Lisanna, Lucy and Gray for a mission. Even though Erza only wanted Gray, Lisanna, and Lucy to join her on a mission, Aspen our Weather Wizard friend and Kyuri Yuki Kuruwa our newest Wizard friend who is an Ice Sculpt Wizard also joined in on the mission. However a certain violet purple-haired girl was following them in the shadows, this is Lucy's cousin Luna Fate Heartfilia. Luna also has a flying cat partner, a light purple cat named Akiyuki who she sometimes calls Kiyu for short. Also, because of an attack by Erigor and Eisenwald, Team Lucy is trapped inside the Oshibana Train Station. Will Team Lucy get out in time to save the guild masters from certain death? Only time will tell.
Oshibana Train Station...
Outside of the train station there was a huge wind barrier surrounding it. Several onlookers that fled to safety are looking at the station from far away.
"The station is surrounded by a huge wind barrier!" A random citizen exclaimed as he looked on from a distance.
Inside the train station, Erza just finished tying up the last of the Eisenwald thugs after defeating them with the help of Kyuri and Aspen. Erza had Byard by the throat and is demanding answers.
"Just forget about it lady, I already told ya there's no undoing Erigor's barrier! You and your buddies are stuck," Byard exclaimed while being held by Erza by the jacket.
A voice from the nearby balcony speaks up causing Erza to look toward said balcony. "Erza." The voice said from the balcony. The voice belongs to Gray. Erza looked up toward the balcony and sees Gray standing up there.
"What are you doing here? I thought you were with Lisanna, and I sent Lucy there as well." Erza exclaimed angrily.
"We decided to split up!" Gray exclaimed loudly from the balcony making sure that Erza can hear, then continued, "Never mind that now, I just found out that Eisenwald's real target is Clover the next town up."
"What?" Erza asked in shock and surprise while she is still holding onto Byard.
"Erigor's heading toward the conference as we speak," Gray remarked as he put his left hand out to the side while pointing his index finger in the same direction as his arm. Gray also has a hold of the balcony railing with his right hand, "He's planning to use the Lullaby to kill the guild masters."
Erza's grip tightened around the jacket of Byard with and angry look in her eyes. The frown on her face marring her lovely features as a purple Aura surrounded Erza showing the Eisenwald thug that she is really angry. "Why didn't you tell me?!"
The tone of voice that Erza is using is striking extreme fear into Byard.
Outside the Train Station the wind barrier was still swirling around at massive speeds as Erza continued to talk while holding on to her right arm with her left hand, her left arm stretched across her body from the left side to the right side, "We have a problem, the station is surrounded by a wind barrier."
"Yeah I saw it earlier," Gray said as he walked up to Erza having found his way back down to the first floor, "If you try to break through that thing it will make mincemeat out of ya."
Erza was looking toward Gray as he strolls into the lobby where Erza is standing holding her right arm with her left hand and turns back toward her right closing her eyes as she continues to speak. "I've already tried that."
"Whoa is your arm okay?" Gray asked, concern very evident in his voice.
"That isn't important," Erza said to the Ice Make Wizard then continued on, "What is important is getting out of here. We must stop Erigor before he reaches the Guild Masters' Conference."
Erza kept her eyes closed as she was deep in thought. All of a sudden, something came to her mind as she remembered something from the pub in Onibas she overheard and opens her eyes.
"Wait a minute," Erza said remembering what the thugs she ran into a few days ago back in Onibas said, then continued, "I remember them talking about someone named Kage back at the pub."
Erza then turned her head toward Gray and continued, "We have to find that man Gray, he was the one that broke Lullaby's Seal."
"A dispeller huh?" Gray asked with his left hand on his hip and his right hand hanging down at his side in a relaxed manner. "A seal breaking wizard! He can take down the wind barrier."
Byard heard what Gray just said and flinched as he turned his head to his left. He knew that Karacka was nearby as he flinched.
"That's what I'm hoping, now let's start searching," Erza ordered to the Ice Make Wizard. Erza and Gray take off to find Kageyama.
"Karacka," Byard said, knowing that the green-haired wizard was hiding in the wall, he continues to address Karacka. "how long are you going to hide back there?"
A light brown magic circle appeared on the wall behind Byard. Out of the circle phases the wizard that Byard is referring too. He comes out of the circle part way, placing his hand on the back of his head, his eyes shaped like triangles devoid of pupils and irises, speaking up toward Byard. "I'm sorry, but I was scared."
"Find Kage now before they do." Byard ordered, still in pain from Erza's harsh treatment of the whiskered wizard. "Go now!"
"No, please don't make me," Karacka pleaded with fear toward his teammate and fellow dark wizard while placing his hand back inside the wall behind him and retreating back into the wall leaving only the top half of his torso and head visible, "You know I'm no good in a fight Byard!"
"Calm down. It's a simple job." Byard said, making his eye smaller with a sinister look to it. "Even you can handle this."
Back with Happy, Aspen and Kyuri...
The two newest members of Team Lucy and of Fairy Tail were walking down the hallway looking for Karacka. Aspen and Kyuri were both tending to their assignments with the blue flying cat hovering behind them. Along the way, the two wizards and the cat passed several medieval looking suits of armor. Expressions of worry showing on their faces.
"Oh!" Aspen said in wonder, having no luck whatsoever finding Karacka. "This is useless! We can't find him anywhere."
"Aye!" Happy said, while hovering in the air between the two newcomers.
Kyuri fingered the handle of her black katana in boredom and nodded in agreement with Aspen and Happy, the way her face was contorted in confusion and worry, you could tell she was bored with nothing to do and really couldn't figure where Karacka might be hiding, "What do you say we just head back to where Erza is."
"Waaaaaa!" Happy exclaimed in disbelief and fear, his right hand across his body, eyes wide in disbelief lacking pupils and irises, and his right leg lifted up in a pose of fear, purple tendrils of worry as well as fear seemingly present behind him.
Aspen and Kyuri looked toward Happy in their own disbelief, Kyuri's and Aspen's arms relaxed down at the side, their hands tilted back toward sides of the hallway. They really didn't understand why Happy is having such a crazy reaction.
"Whoa, Happy are you okay?" Aspen asked, confusion evident in her voice. She really couldn't figure out why Happy was being a drama queen all of a sudden.
"What's with the crazy reaction?" Kyuri asked, also with a confused and wondering look on her face, her boredom momentarily forgotten and her finger no longer touching the handle of her sword as Happy's sudden fearful reaction brings her out of her boredom.
"Erza gave you two an order to go after the fat man!" Happy exclaimed in fear, seriously wondering why these two new girls have suddenly forgotten how scary Titania Erza can be considering that they just witnessed her fighting to protect them. Happy is also quivering paws to the sides of his face still in disbelief and fear. "So you have to do what she says Aspen, Kyuri; ignoring an order from Erza is never a good idea. If you do, she's going to be super angry with you, and if I have to watch you being punished it may scar me for life."
Behind Happy, Aspen and Kyuri are also afraid, expressing the same look of fear and disbelief mirroring Happy's pose.
"What kind of punishment are we talking about here!" Aspen asked, showing extreme distress and fear.
"Hey we were just kidding," Kyuri said to the blue cat dancing back and forth on one foot along with Aspen, getting ready to continue execution of the order that Titania Erza ordered them to do. "We would never give up on a mission like that."
Happy is much more calm than he was just a minute ago as he returns back to his original demeanor of happy-go-luckiness taunting the two newcomers with a vengeance. "The thought of an Erza smack down finally scare some sense into both of ya?"
Aspen and Kyuri lash out in anger, the coldness of Kyuri's voice suddenly changing the tone of the events, along with the cold tone of Aspen as well. The air around Happy easily goes from normal room temperature to freezing as the cold stare of anger and trepidation from the two newcomers nearly freeze Happy in his tracks. "Shut up you stupid cat!" Aspen and Kyuri exclaimed, anger evident within the coldness of their voices. If he didn't know better, Happy could almost see the black streaks throughout Kyuri's hair transform right in front of his eyes into a color matching the rest of her hair. "Why are you even following us?"
Back with Lucy and Lisanna...
The two best friends are running from a shadow that is creeping along the ceiling that is after Lisanna. Lucy and Lisanna unknowingly link hands as they continue to run away from the creepy shadow and toward the place where they think Erigor is at. It's evident by the looks on their faces that they are ever so determined to find that Erigor person and stop him before he gets to Clover. They're not sure why they are so concerned about getting to Erigor before he reaches clover, but one thing is for sure, they know something bad is going to happen if they don't get to Erigor before he reaches his final destination. However, they can't help but wonder where that one dude was that attacked Lisanna on the train has disappeared to. Not only that they are so focused on Erigor that they don't seem to notice someone or something trailing them. Lisanna is in her Fire Tigress mode with hands lit aflame. Lucy sees this and is about to copy her best friend when she realizes something and grabs Lisanna around the waist in a bear hug pinning the white-haired girls arms to her body. This annoyed Lisanna to no end as she tried to break free, unfortunately Lisanna's efforts were to no avail. The one piece swimsuit that is reddish orange and black promptly returns to the normal Tiger Skin Blue and Black Bikini as Lisanna's claws were promptly extinguished as she reverted to her normal Tigress form, and then in a flash of gold light had reverted to her normal form her blue and black tiger stripe bikini promptly replaced by her normal blue three-quarter sleeve shirt and green rolled up short-shorts. The muffler around her neck now visible and its normal color. Seeing that her best friend had finally calmed down, the golden blond released her and turned her around to face herself. It was very evident to Lucy that the white-haired girl in front of her was not very happy and pouted at the fact that her best friend stopped her from damaging the place, which is probably for the best.
The blue-eyed girl looked into the brown-eyed girls eyes still with a pouty look in her eyes and made her opinion known, "Lu, why did you stop me from tearing this place up to find Erigor, I mean come on, Master could be in danger and you stopped me why?"
Lisanna turned her back toward the blond, crossed her arms over her chest and pouted. The blond walked around her best friend and looked her straight in the eye. This immediately made Lisanna straighten up and look the brown-eyed golden blond in the eyes as well.
"Haven't we caused enough damage to this train station already?" Lucy asked of the white-haired girl, then continued, "Not to mention the damage we caused to Hargeon Port, and Everlue's Mansion in Shirotsume? The council is never going to let Master hear the end of this once this whole Lullaby ordeal is over with."
"Let the council complain, it's nothing new," Lisanna retorted with a stern tone of voice to her best friend. She also had a pleading look in her eyes, "why won't you let me break loose?"
"Remember the promise we made years ago Li?" Lucy asked thinking back to the time that Natsu challenged the two of them to a battle, "We said we wanted to help the guild all we could when we got older, but weren't going to end up like the rest of the guild using our magic to cause destruction that's unnecessary. Do you remember that Li?"
"Well we broke that promise when we started looking for Natsu and Igneel Lu," Lisanna pointed out truthfully, "you said it yourself, Hargeon Port, Everlue's Mansion in Shirotsume. In fact you said that just now."
"Li, think about it if we use a bunch of our magic now, we won't be able to contribute later," Lucy explained, then continued with her pep talk trying to calm her best friend down, "especially since we already used a good chunk of our magic just fighting those thugs. We may have to conserve our magic for a bigger battle to come, for example Erigor the Reaper? We don't need to go off half-cocked like he always did, we are more mature than that. Do we really need to throw our magic into everything when searching for something or someone? No we don't. We do our search civilly and normally. We use the doors and don't bust through the wall, we only cause destruction when it can't be avoided. This is one of those times that it can be avoided. If we run into Kageyama again, we can go all out then, besides, I have to pay him back for causing you pain. You are my best friend after all."
Lisanna couldn't help but blush faintly at what her blond bestie was saying, she could also see a faint blush on Lucy's face. It was then she realized that her Lu was right, they needed to conserve as much energy as possible because there was a big fight coming up. Finally admitting defeat, the youngest Take Over Sibling embraced the slightly older girl in a hug, that seemed more loving than friendly, the Celestial Wizard mirrored her best friends action and embraced the slightly younger girl in a more loving than friendly hug. The two smiled at each other as they broke free, Lisanna sighed in defeat as she smiled at the blond, while thinking to herself, 'was I really going off half-cocked like our friend? Why did I do that, is it really necessary to do such a thing? Lu does have a point, her and I still have a lot of strength to recover before we will be ready to take on Erigor. I can't believe I did what I did. I might as well admit it, Lucy is right we don't need to go off half-cocked. Have I really become that much like Natsu? Maybe it's because I miss him so much, but then again so does Lucy which is probably why she was going off half-cocked against Everlue. I understand now what Lucy is saying.'
"Lu, you're right, we need to conserve all the strength we can," Lisanna responded truthfully, "there is no need to expend all of our strength yet. Let's act like the good and mature girls we are and focus on the task at hand, finding Erigor as well as finding that wizard that humiliated me on the train. That ought to give us time to recover our strength."
"I knew you would see it my way Li," Lucy said with a smile and a wink, then continued in a leader-like tone, "we have to find Erigor, and lookout for Doggy or whatever his name is."
Nodding in agreement with Lucy, Lisanna stayed close to her blond best friend occasionally stealing glances at the blond, while the blond occasionally stole glances at the white-haired girl next to her.
The two leaders of Team Lucy went through the corridor looking calmly behind every door, nook, and cranny; hoping to find some sign of Erigor not even realizing that they were being trailed by a certain Shadow/Dispelling Wizard.
'Wow I really didn't expect Fairy Tail Wizards to react calmly to the current situation,' Kage thought to himself as he looked down from the ceiling, then went back to thinking to himself once again, 'that Natsu character must be the famous Salamander that never came back from a mission he went on two years ago, I can see where these two girls get their reckless tendencies. It also seems that they are a lot more mature than the Salamander was, I really would hate to encounter the Salamander instead of these two girls, he would just destroy everything in his path. However, those girls are strong, I'll give them that. I can see that they truly belong in Fairy Tail. I think I need to come up with a plan to take care of these two girls to allow Erigor to get to Clover to take care of the guild masters.'
Lucy had a strange chill run down her spine as she shivered. Seeing her best friend shivering as well, she spoke up to her friend, "is it just me, or do you feel like we are being followed by someone or something?" Lucy asked in confidence, but the shakiness in her voice betrayed her facade.
"I have the same feeling Lu," Lisanna said, then continued confidently, but also had the same shakiness in her voice that Lucy displayed betraying her own current facade as well, "but we have to focus on the task at hand finding Erigor as non-destructive as we can. This is one thing we have over Natsu, we are more mature and responsible than him with our magic.
"Right," Lucy said immediately regaining her composure, followed shortly by Lisanna. The girls continued to search every room they came across trying to find some trace of Erigor.
"Now, we just need to figure out..." Lucy started, placing her hand to her chin in thought.
"...where Erigor got to." Lisanna finished also with her mind in a wondering state.
"We better just keep as calm as we can and look," Lucy said to her best friend responsibly then continued, "no matter what! Right Li?"
"Right Lu!" Lisanna exclaimed unknowingly linking hands with the blond again, the blond returning the gesture.
'Where is he?' The two leaders of Team Lucy thought to themselves in a bit of curiosity and confusion at the same time as they continue to calmly search. How long will the calm searching last? Probably not very long at all as the same shadow that was trailing our heroines before gains ever closer to the two leaders of Team Lucy who are just unknowingly looking around having no idea what to do next. The shadow is creeping along the floor as the creator of the shadow thinks to himself.
'Now that Erigor's made it out safely, these little girls don't pose much of a threat. I could just let them go,' Kageyama thought to himself. 'but what would be the fun in that. I really want to get that Tiger girl for making a fool out of me on the train, but then again this Celestial and Star Make Wizard seems to be a nice bonus.'
Kageyama creeps out of the ground behind the two girls. He definitely wants revenge on the white-haired girl that made a fool of him on the train earlier, but it really wouldn't hurt to take out the blond as well.
Once Kageyama made his presence known right in front of the girls he pulled his right hand back, placed it in a fist and threw a hook punch at them, causing several tendrils of black knuckles to impact the two girls sending them flying into the crates against the wall. Once his deed is done, he stands confidently with a malicious grin on his face, his eyebrows contorted in a frowning expression as the position of his eyebrows makes his eyes look as if they are triangular shaped in anger.
"There I've wanted to do that for a while now!" Kageyama exclaimed with a confident snear on his face, then asked, "Had enough Fairy Tail insects?"
The two girls were upside down with their faces stuffed into the crates as they kick their legs in anger.
The two girls came up out of the crate each with half a sign around their necks. One part of the sign says Waku and is around Lucy's neck, while the other sign also says Waku and is around Lisanna's neck, while half of the word land is on Lucy's neck, and the other half of the word land is on Lisanna's neck. Both girls have their lovely faces screwed up in anger, their eyes devoid of pupils and irises on their faces in a frowning expression.
"Not you again!" Lucy exclaimed angrily, while glaring at the offender.
"How dare you attack two defenseless girls when they have no idea what is coming!" Lisanna retorted angrily, her face in a major angry look, glaring at the offender just like her best friend is.
"Wow you two really look like a couple of idiots!" Kageyama taunted the girls with rage.
"OH SHUT UP DOGGY!" The two girls exclaimed, while at the same time trying to get the signs off of their necks.
Kageyama angrily stomps his foot glaring at the girls. "Get it right it's Kage! The name is Kage!"
The two girls shrug still trying to get the half-signs off from around their necks. "Same thing really." The two girls said nonchalantly.
Kageyama came up out of his stance and held his left hand out to the side as if he is waving at somebody, then looking Lisanna directly into her eyes he smiled, a sinister smile, but smiled nonetheless.
"Anyway, I think I got you all figured out this time Tiger girl, whichever element you empower your Tigress Take Over form with, you eat the specific element to become stronger, in the case of our last encounter, you ate flames giving you more strength," Kage said with confidence and knowledge, then continued, "your strongest form is your Tigress form because it not only is your most agile form, but also the form you use most for hand-to-hand combat. Aren't those your biggest tricks?"
Kage then looked toward Lucy with the same sinister smile on his face, "You blondie, have two specific magics. Though I haven't encountered you before, I've heard about you Lucy Heartfilia."
"What how did you know my last name?" Lucy asked in shock and surprise. "Only our master and my friends know my last name. So how can you know it?"
"What? Just because I am a dark wizard you don't think I read the news?" Kage asked rhetorically not expecting an answer, "You use Celestial Magic and Star Make Magic, both holder and ability. They call you Starry Sky, and they call your friend Wild's Soul a lot of it has to do with your powers. You blondie harvest the power of the stars and the Celestial Plain to enable your ability to create static and dynamic objects. For example your katana, as well as your famous Shuriken Storm. I should be able to easily stamp out both of your special abilities with my Shadow Magic."
The two girls glared angrily at the Shadow/Dispeller Wizard as flames surround Lisanna's head and bladed stars surround Lucy's head. Lucy and Lisanna with their rage easily rip the signs off of their heads showing their disdain as they look toward Kageyama.
"Now we really want to teach you a lesson, but we don't have the time!" Lucy exclaimed, tearing the sign around her neck off with adrenaline and anger coursing through her veins.
Lisanna manages to take the sign off of her head as well by using her Tigress Claws to slash the sign up. She then stood up beside Lucy anger apparent on her face, pointing toward Kageyama along with Lucy. Lisanna is now back to her normal form completely minus the claws she used to slash the sign to bits.
"Tell us where Erigor is!" Lisanna ordered angrily, glaring toward the Eisenwald thug.
"You think I'm just going to tell you female flies that?" Kageyama asked in disbelief, at the same time glaring angrily at the pair, continuing his rant, "If you really want me to tell you that you two are going to have to beat it out of me!"
A dark purple magic circle appeared underneath Kage's feet as he called out his attack.
"Knuckle Shadow!" Kageyama exclaimed, prompting several shadowy knuckles to appear out of the magic circle on the ground and slam the two leaders of Team Lucy back toward the wall.
"So we get to knock you around and we get the info we want?" Lucy asked, readying her hands to mold something.
"That's killing two birds with one stone," Lisanna added, a blue magic circle appearing underneath her feet. "Take Over Animal Soul! Tigress! We're getting all fired up!"
The blue circle appeared to move up Lisanna's body as her features from her feet to her face, hair and ears become more Tigress like, claws and Tigress-like pads forming on her feet and hands, ears popping out of the top of her head followed by her face gaining more feline-like features. A blue and black striped tail appearing out of her tail bone followed by a two piece blue and black tiger-striped revealing bikini. Her hair growing from mid-back length with a low ponytail, to waist-length and free-flowing. Her appearance is mostly human with the exception of her Tigress parts.
Lucy took off one of her keys from her belt, tosses it up in mid-air causing it to spin. Grabbing it with her right hand, Lucy swings it through the air ready to call forth one of her ever faithful spirits. "Open Gate of the Golden Bull, Taurus!"
A dark brown magic circle appears in mid air as Lucy sticks her key into the center of the circle, turning it to the right. Out of the magic circle, Taurus once again appeared, spinning his axe through the air like a baton.
"Moooooo! Leave Miss Luuuucy's nice body alone! Take this Eisenwald Scum! Moooo!" Taurus exclaimed, slamming one of the sides of the double-bladed axe into the floor of the station causing the building to shake even more than before. The debris kicked up heading straight for Kageyama as Lisanna prepared to attack herself.
"Elemental Empowerment!" Lisanna said, a reddish-orange circle appearing underneath he feet and continuing up her body from underneath her feet to her head. The power worked its magic turning the blue and black tiger-striped features of Lisanna's body into reddish-orange and black tiger-striped features. Finally prompting reddish-orange streaks to appear in Lisanna's now waist-length hair. Her two piece bikini becoming a one piece Swimsuit. "Fire Tigress!" However, her hair isn't the only thing that changed, the Fairy Tail Mark on her left thigh gained a reddish-orange outline surrounding it.
Taurus and Lisanna get to work knocking the info out of him.
"Fire Tigress..." Lisanna said, activating her reddish-orange magic circle prompting her Tigress claws to light aflame. "Tigress Claw Slash!"
Lisanna jumped up into the air doing several flips in a row slashing Kageyama in and X-shaped pattern, holding back a little just causing minor burns, but this doesn't keep Kageyama from hitting the ceiling and bouncing off the walls.
Lucy and Lisanna managing to dodge Kageyama's strikes with his Knuckle Shadow. Lisanna parrying them with her Tigress Claws on both her hands and feet, while Lucy stands next to Taurus, and unclips her whip so she can fight along side her faithful spirit.
'Alright Fairies!' Kageyama thought to himself as he placed his right hand on the ground, activating his dark purple magic circle again. "Snake Shadow!"
Once again, tendrils of dark energy appear out of the magic circle on the ground. This time, they literally are snakes just like his attack implies and they head straight toward the girls. Re-clipping her whip to her right hip, Lucy once again put her palms together, prompting her golden yellow magic circle to appear in between her clenched hands once again, "Star Make: Starlight Katana!" Lucy pulled her hands apart molding a golden yellow Katana with her magic, holding onto it with both hands, she swung it around in the air, she has yet to master the one-handed sword spinning that Gray can do with two of his Ice Make Katanas.
"You can't run this time, they'll tear you to pieces!" Kageyama exclaimed, a condescending tone very apparent in his voice.
"I got this! Taurus, you know what to do to those snakes don't you?" Lucy asked her spirit, winking and smiling at him. This immediately prompted Taurus to gain hearts in his eyes as he continued to swing his ax, while Lucy spun her Katana around in the air, Lisanna couldn't help but smile and blush at the sight of her best friend wielding her Star Make Katana with skill as she, along with Taurus swung their weapons toward the Shadow Snakes created by Kageyama. Slashing each of the shadow snakes in half with determination.
Positioning herself back-to-back with her bull spirit, the two fighters, wizard and golden bull Zodiac Spirit attack the Shadow snakes together slashing down with their Katana and ax respectively.
Lisanna jumped into the air deactivating her fire magic while extending the claws of her hands and feet out and spinning around much like a drill does sending multiple pieces of debris in all directions, "Tigress spinning storm slash!" Lisanna's words echoed throughout the hallways of the entire station. The attacks of the two girls and Golden Bull Spirit combining to cause the entire station to shake. Not only that, but several chunks of plaster fell from the many ceilings and onto the ground.
With Aspen, Happy, and Kyuri...
"Huh?" Happy asked seeing several chunks of plaster fall to the floor from the ceiling.
"Is there a reason why the whole building is shaking?" Aspen asked, feeling the entire building shake along with Kyuri beside her.
"It's as if some huge battle is going on above us." Kyuri stated, also feeling the shaking of the ground beneath her feet.
Both her and Aspen witness several chunks of plaster falling from the ceiling to the floor. Aspen pushes Kyuri out of the way of the falling plaster only to get hit by some small chunks of plaster herself, but as long as Kyuri is safe since she is currently the youngest member of the team, it's all good. All of a sudden a giant piece of plaster came falling down from the ceiling prompting Happy to get out of the way quickly. An ice blue magic circle appears at the end of Aspens hands as she aims directly toward the falling chunk of plaster.
"Weather Manipulation, Temperature Change Cold Snap!" Aspen said, activating her temperature change magic freezing the falling plaster solid. Seeing an even bigger piece falling straight toward Aspen, Kyuri pulls out her black katana from her sheath and slashes the piece of frozen plaster to pieces. Happy uses his tail to wrap around Kyuri and fly her out of the way, while another tail wraps around Aspen's waist and flies her out of the way. The shadow of a mysterious flying cat can be seen flying away after it flew Aspen out of the way of the other falling plaster. The mysterious shadow then landed on the shoulders of another mysterious shadow.
"Good job Akiyuki, now come back as quiet as you can." A female voice said telepathically into the light purple cat's head.
"Hey, no problem Luna, we better go and see if we can find your cousin anywhere around here. Just be careful of flying plaster." The light purple female cat said telepathically to a violet-purple haired girl after landing on said girls shoulder.
Back with Lisanna, Lucy, and Kage...
The two female members of Team Lucy, as well as a Bull Spirit, have just finished making mincemeat of the Snake Shadow Attack that Kage released.
"Impossible! Those two girls and their giant cow thing defeated them with one-shot each?" Kageyama asked curiously and worriedly as well. "I didn't know wizards like them existed, let alone two wizards that had the ability to use two different magics that blond sure is a heck of a Celestial Wizard as well as a heck of a Star Make Wizard."
"Thanks for your help Taurus, I really appreciate it, " Lucy said as she dissipated her Katana, then continued to praise her spirit as well as her best friend,"The three of us make an excellent team! Thank you for being my spirit!"
"Miss Lucy! Don't worry about it." Taurus mooed, then continuing on. "Anytime I get to see your nice body and your nice moooves as well is worth it. Hey Miss Lisanna, you have some pretty handy moves yourself. How about a big smooch from both of you!"
Lucy and Lisanna roll their eyes at the antics of the Zodiac Spirit. Lucy then gently slashed her arm through the air sending Taurus back to the spirit world. "Thank you Taurus." Lucy said, while clipping Taurus' key back to her key-chain.
"Now are you going to talk, if not, I have a fireball with your name on it." Lisanna chuckled a bit fiery much like Natsu used to do. Lucy hugged the white/reddish-orange haired girl prompting her to dissipate her fireball.
"Li-Chan, please don't act like Natsu, I know you're angry, so am I, but there is no need to kill the poor bastard. All we need to do is give him a good swift kick and he will shut up. Remember the combo move we came up with?" Lucy asked as she purposely linked hands with Lisanna then proceeded to hold on tight prompting Lisanna to return to her normal form and concentrate all of her power into her feet.
The two girls jump into the air aiming their feet straight toward the chest of Kageyama. Together the two start spinning rapidly like a drill, but this time it's just them and no other powers at work.
"Double Wizard Corkscrew Kick!" The two chimed together in sync, both spinning rapidly toward their target. Kageyama is kicked in the chest and knocked straight into the wall behind him. The two girls let go of each other and land on their feet.
With Gray and Erza...
The two oldest members of Team Lucy were running toward the balcony to try and find the Dispeller Wizard by the name of Kage so they can dispel the wind barrier only to greeted by the sounds of combat on the floor above them, still shaking the entire station.
"Was that them?" Gary asked curiously as he looked toward the direction the noise came from.
"Yes." Erza said factually.
With Aspen, Happy, and Kyuri...
"Lisanna?" Aspen asked curiously.
"Miss Lucy?" Kyuri asked curiously.
Aspen and Kyuri along with Happy head in the direction of where they think the noise came from.
Back with Kageyama, Lisanna, and Lucy...
Lucy slammed the palms of her hands together, a golden yellow circle appearing in front of them. Activating her Star Make Magic once again when she notices that Kageyama is in danger of hitting his head on the wall behind him. "Star Make: Pillow!" Lucy said, pulling her hands apart as far as she could get them allowing her magic to create a pillow for Kageyama's head as she uses her agility of her frame to flip forward and gently set the pillow behind Kageyama's head keeping him from getting hurt. Kageyama is in shock at this, why would one of his enemies be helping him? He angrily catches the pillow before Lucy can place it behind his head and tossed it to the floor causing it to dissipate immediately. He also remembered to keep his head from hitting the wall. It's very unusual for one of Lucy's creations to just disappear like that, but by the way she is laboring, it's obvious that she has used a lot of her magic just from the most recent fight her, Lisanna and Taurus had with Kageyama. Lisanna was also laboring to catch her breath as she and Lucy fell to their knees.
Both Lucy and Lisanna were laboring from their fight with Kageyama as they placed their arms around each other in support.
"Lu-Chan/Li-Chan!" The two girls exclaimed toward one another as the labored to give each other support.
The two girls, despite the fact they were laboring because of all the magic they used, managed to make their way shakily to a standing position, leaning on each other for support. The two continuing to struggle to maintain their balance as the shaking finally stopped.
Following the shaking sound, Erza and Gray arrive where the two leaders of Team Lucy are, shortly followed by Aspen, Happy, and Kyuri.
Erza, Gray, Kyuri, and Aspen look toward Kageyama and looks into his eyes with a questioning glance as Erza asked. "Excuse me, you wouldn't happen to be Kageyama would you?"
"What do you care Fairies?" Kageyama asked, looking at Team Lucy with an evil grin on his face, then chuckling evilly, "You guys are stuck here there is no way you can get out."
Lisanna has had enough, though she may be calm and kind she doesn't take too kindly to having to wait for answers. That part of her was driven into her several years ago by one Natsu Dragneel. Lisanna turns one of her hands into a Tigress Claw and lights it on fire, only to have Lucy extinguish it with her own hand trying to calm her best friend down, knowing that just like her, Lisanna exhausted a lot of her magic, she didn't even care that she was getting slashed and burned by her best friend, "Lisanna stop! We have already used a lot of our magic, we need to remain calm, but that doesn't mean we can't still frown at him."
Knowing Lucy is right, she deactivates her claw and returns it to a normal hand, "Sorry Lu, I am just getting really tired of waiting for an answer."
"Hey no problem," Lucy stated as she let go of Lisanna's hand and immediately realized that she was burnt and bleeding, "ouch! I've got to stop doing that."
Lisanna looked at Lucy's hand that had extinguished her flame and noticed that it was bleeding and burnt. She immediately pulled out a handkerchief and quickly wrapped around Lucy's bleeding and burnt hand, while at the same time scolding her best friend, "Lu you're hurt, I've warned you lots of times not to do that when my claws are activated and are on fire!"
"I know that Li-Chan, but if I wouldn't have done that, you would've attacked and hurt Kageyama before he could give us answers," Lucy sighed in exasperation, "you are also really low on magic and I didn't want you to exert yourself anymore than you had to."
Lisanna's frown turned upside down as she looked into those big brown eyes of her best friend, "that's what I really like about you Lu, you always put others before yourself."
The two girls then embraced in a hug right as Erza and the others arrived on the scene.
Running up beside the two girls, Erza noticed that Lisanna and Lucy had exhausted a lot of their magic and didn't want them to use anymore if they didn't have to, ""Lisanna, Lucy, conserve your strength, besides we need him to get passed the wind barrier."
Erza rushes toward Lisanna and Lucy as she jumped up into the air right above the heads of Lucy and Lisanna with one of her swords drawn. The two girls cower in each others arms as the panic
"I'm sorry if we did anything wrong, we didn't mean it! Please don't hurt us!" Lisanna and Lucy pleaded while cowering at the sight of the armored wizard.
Erza leaped over Lisanna and Lucy with skill and impaled her sword into the wall behind Kageyama. Her left eye glowing red with anger and menace. Her right eye is covered with a piece of her hair, "I need you to dispel the wind barrier. It's the only way we can get out of here."
It's easy to see that Kageyama is very frightened of Titania Erza. Lucy and Lisanna are shivering in fear as are Aspen, Kyuri, and Happy.
"You will dispel the wind barrier and you will do so without complaint!" Erza ordered of the Shadow/Dispeller Wizard.
"Just do it man! Don't make her any angrier than she already is!" Lisanna and Lucy chimed together, visibly shaking at the prospect of being impaled by one of the swords of Titania Erza. "This chick is a real monster!"
"Lucy! Lisanna!"Gray exclaimed, not even believing that the two girls would say such a thing about their mentor/friend/comrade.
"Understood?" Erza asked, glaring at Kage with a scowling frown on her face.
"Fine!." Kageyama said waving his hands in front of him in a defensive postion. "I'll dispel it. Ahhh"
As soon as Kageyama said that, a gold magic circle appeared in front of Kageyama, it's obvious he is in extreme pain."Why Karacka?"
'It's a simple job, even you can handle this.' Byard's voice echoed within Karacka's mind. 'You have to kill Kageyama!'
"Kage!" Erza exclaimed worriedly, seeing Kageyama fall to the ground on his back unconscious.
Once the deed was done, Karacka is inside the wall visibly shaking at what he did to his teammate and comrade.
"No! He was our only way out of here!" Gray exclaimed, disappointed at witnessing such a heinous crime.
Lucy and Lisanna witness this as Lisanna releases Lucy and draws her collapsible BO staff off of her back while extending at the same time, her magic may be exhausted but she can still wield her collapsible BO staff with skill.
Lucy, just as angry as Lisanna as she stripped her whip from her hip, it's a good thing that it was her left hand that was burnt and bleeding instead of her right, she was right-handed after all.
"Kage! Don't you dare die on us!" Erza exclaimed pleadingly, holding the injured shadow/dispel wizard in her arms, the injured wizards head resting on her lap. "We need your help do yo hear me?"
"I think we're losing him Erza." Gray said to the Scarlet Haired Armored Wizard.
"You're the only one of us that is able to dispel the wind barrier!" Erza continued to plead holding Kage like she would hold a sick child that she is trying to comfort.
All this time, Karacka is still inside the wall. Lucy and Lisanna looking on seeing the green-haired fat phasing wizard tremble in fear. They didn't care, they just witnessed someone gravely injuring his own teammate with no remorse whatsoever on his face, but apparent fear in his eyes.
Lisanna is visibly angry as swings her staff around with one hand glaring angrily at the phasing Wizard, "How could you do that to one of your friends?!"
Lucy, just as visibly angry as her best friend also berates the phasing Wizard while pointing her whip at Karacka. "He's a member of your guild, he trusted you and you tried to kill him!"
Karacka is visibly shaking even more and stuttering as he sees the two girls coming at him. This is something they will not tolerate even from a dark wizard. They angrily raised their weapons up and charged the wall prompting the green-haired phasing wizard to vanish inside the wall.
"Take this!" The two leaders of team Lucy exclaimed as Lucy cracked her whip toward the green-haired wizard and Lisanna swung her staff downward aiming to knock the fat one out. Never mind that the two were running low on stamina, they just witnessed someone try to kill his own teammate. Who cares if they were hurt and laboring just to stay conscious. They didn't like what the green-haired wizard did to his friend.
"How could you!" Lucy and Lisanna exclaimed chasing after Karacka. Slamming through the wall hitting the green-haired wizard hard, sending him flying.
"Is that how you Dark Guild Members treat each other?!" The two girls exclaimed still slamming him hard with their weapons. The wall was easily demolished as Karacka was sent flying.
"Ahhhhhh!" Karacka exclaimed as he was sent reeling landing hard on his back.
"Please Kage, just stay with us." Erza pleaded, cradling the unconscious wizard in her arms.
"He's unconscious, it's just no use." Gray said to Titania, Lucy and Lisanna looking through the giant hole that they caused where Karacka used to be. Lucy re-clipping her whip to her left hip, and Lisanna collapsing the Bo-Staff, and placing back in its resting place on her back.
"We can't let him die, he's our only way out of here!" Erza exclaimed angrily, slamming Kageyama's head down to and up from the ground. Her eyes in triangular shape devoid of pupils and irises still slamming the injured wizard back and forth on the ground.
"But, there's no way he can use his magic in this condition!" Gray said, desperately pleading to the Scarlet-Haired Wizard with a sweat drop on the side of his black hair.
"If we keep trying he will be able to!" Erza exclaimed, continuing to shake Kageyama to wake him up in addition to repeatedly slamming his head into the floor of the train station.
"um..." Aspen stated looking on with confusion.
"...bad timing huh?" Kyuri inquired.
"Aye." Happy responded, looking on with the Weather and Ice Sculpt Wizards.
Meanwhile in Clover Canyon...
Erigor after setting up the wind barrier arrives in Clover Canyon hovering above the train bridge that traverses the canyon. Clover Canyon is an extremely deep canyon, no one knows how far it is to the bottom, but not too many people have survived a massive fall to the canyon floor. It's a very good thing that Erigor has recovered the amount of magic he used to create that wind wall.
This is Clover Canyon, a Canyon so deep many believe its treacherous walls actually rise up from the Abyss.
The only way across is this single train line.
Erigor is standing on the train bridge with his Scythe over his shoulder, blade down to his feet pointing to his right.
"I'm so close to Clover and the Guild Masters I can taste it." Erigor chuckled evilly, eyes surveying his surroundings aimed toward Clover and the meeting hall. "And what's more, the magic energy I used to create that wind barrier is almost fully recharged. "Now it's time."
A purple magic circle appears under his feet and he takes to the skies with his scythe shouldered.
"You fools not only took away our work, but you robbed us of our rights." Erigor said to himself, hovering in the sky with his Scythe shouldered ready to strike a blow. "And now I am going to make you pay. The reaper's cleansing is nigh."
Activating his wind magic, he takes off at full speed heading straight for Clover Town and the Guild Masters' Conference.
Back at the Oshibana Train Station...
Team Lucy has made their way to the exit of the train station, only to be greeted by a wind barrier surrounding it. There is no way through it, and with Kageyama out cold, there is no way to dispel it either.
"What?!" Aspen and Kyuri exclaimed in disbelief staring at Erza who had just given the two newcomers some distressing news.
"Erigor wants to use Lullaby on the Guild Masters?!" Kyuri asked in anger her stare cold and angry.
"We have to stop them!" Aspen exclaimed angrily, activating a red magic circle instantly increasing the temperature in the room, followed shortly by Lisanna transforming into her Tigress form, even though she was running low on magic energy and activating her Fire Empowerment Magic as well also increasing the temperature in the room. This time it was increased tenfold.
Erza is on the ground on her knees with her hands on Kageyama's chest trying to see if he is still alive and breathing, as well as to maintain constant pressure on the Shadow/Dispel Wizard's gaping chest wound.
"Easier said than done." Erza said, looking toward the two newcomers as well as Lisanna. "Erigor has cut off our only means of getting there and he is going by air."
"I'm pretty sure we can catch up to him on the magic mobile, but we can't do a thing until we figure out how to get on the other side of this barrier." Gray said to the rest of the group.
"How are we going to do that?" Kyuri asked in confusion. "None of us has magic that can get rid of this barrier."
Lisanna with her claws aflame charged at the barrier only to be thrown back time and time again.
Lucy rushes to Lisanna's aid and catches her. "Li-Chan why do you insist on acting like Natsu, I want to get out of here too, but without the barrier being dispelled we can't give chase. Besides that you and I are already running low on magic energy, we can't do much more."
"Yeah Lisanna, you're smarter than him. Just use your head like you usually do." Gray said with concern. "Every time you try and bust through you're going to get hurt."
"Use my head?! Lisanna asked angrily, "Gray you are making no sense at all! Natsu would never use his head he would always leap before he looks, that's one thing that Lu and I admired about him. Right Lu?"
Lucy shakes her head no. "I love Natsu too, and for a while I did admire his leap first and look later attitude, that is until that day happened. Didn't you learn anything from that day? Natsu saved our lives and took Elfman's hits instead of us. He was trying to protect us. Did you forget the other thing he told us to do before he died in our arms?"
As Lucy finished trying to calm her best friend down, memories of their dearly departed friend entered their minds as the thought back to two years ago.
Flashback #1: two years ago...
Natsu didn't say a word to Lucy or Lisanna when she finally turned up. He only looked at them with his dark black eyes. He knew it was the end, he couldn't deny it, but only smiled at them (not realizing his guild crest and Lisanna's were slowly vanishing).
"You two don't need me with you anymore; you'll get much stronger without me screwing you up. You two have gotten so much stronger since I first met the two of you. I am impressed." he said weakly with a smile as he removed the vest from his body put it around Lucy's shoulders. "Here Lu you can have my vest to always remember me by."
"What are you talking about Natsu?" Lucy pleaded with a feverish smile as she felt the vest around her shoulders. "You are coming home to Fairy Tail with us! Don't talk like that. We have to get ready for the S-Class Exam coming up. We promised we would all three make S-Class together!"
"I don't know how much longer I can keep conscious," Natsu added weakly as he looked towards Lisanna. "Lisanna, I want you to have this." He then proceeds to take off his muffler and wrap it around Lisanna's neck, surprising the younger Strauss in response. Natsu would never give his muffler to anyone unless, he was really…?
"Natsu, I can't take this, it's your favorite scarf. Igneel gave it to you!" Lisanna screamed in amazement. "You never take it off!"
Natsu coughed up a little bit of blood and looked up at the gold light in the sky. "I am taking it off to give it to you." he smiled while struggling to breathe. "Good –bye, Lucy, Lisanna… I'll see you again… I'm glad I got to know you… and…" he chuckled lightly, "of course, Fairy Tail and everyone in it too. You and Lisanna are my best friends; in fact we are all three best friends forever." He placed a hand to Lucy's cheeks, the young Celestial/Star Make Wizard trying not to cry, "Never forget, that's the truth. Promise you will find me if I ever disappear from this place. Also promise me you will find Igneel. Can you do that for me?"
Lucy and Lisanna looked at Natsu with tear-soaked vision and nodded as Natsu's hand slipped from Lucy's cheek and fell to the ground. "No!" Lisanna cried out, grabbing Natsu's hand and holding it in both her hands, her sad and hurtful blue eyes looking into Natsu's black ones. "Natsu, I… I…" she said, trying to find the right words to say, as both their guild crests began to vanish completely. Natsu only smiled peacefully at her.
"Natsu, your guild mark…" Lisanna and Lucy gasped in unison as they saw some strange light erasing it (and Lisanna's as well). "It's disappearing. You can't be dying, we have to get you to the hospital and heal you."
"Elf-niichan will never forgive himself if something happened to you." Lisanna pleaded trying to keep Natsu conscious.
"What about Happy, he needs you!" Lucy pleaded again with the fading Dragon Slayer. "We all three need you. Please don't leave us."
"Don't forget to keep your promise and find Igneel for me. Also, if I were to disappear from this world, I want the both of you to find me. Wasn't that your words, Lisanna?" he added once more making Lisanna gasp, "We are teammates forever…" Natsu finished as he lost consciousness. Once Natsu lost consciousness his body started raising up into the air his guild mark almost gone.
"Natsu, no! Please, don't leave us!" Lucy and Lisanna cried out, trying to keep Natsu from leaving this world, leaving his two closest friends. Natsu was then sucked up vest-less and muffler-less up into the sky and into strange light until he disappeared from the arms of Lucy and Lisanna, his guild mark completely erased. The golden light also sucked up Lisanna's guild mark leaving her hurt and trying to stay awake. Tears flooded her eyes as flashes of her memories of Natsu came through her mind, seeing the smiling and goofy Natsu that she knew for a long time.
End Flashback #1. Back to Present Time.
"See Lisanna, you can't be so reckless, Natsu got what was coming to him when he jumped face first into a situation without thinking." Lucy said, trying to calm down her best friend. "We can try to get through the barrier a couple more times, but we have to do this together so we don't exhaust our magic like the both of us did back then."
"So, Natsu actually did die?" Gray asked, curiosity apparent in his voice. "Trying to protect the two of you from a possessed Elfman?"
Lucy and Lisanna nodded together and smiled. "The two of us are going to work together to get through that barrier no matter what. Now you know the truth about what actually happened to Natsu, please don't tell anyone else. Only Lisanna, myself, the S-Class group, and the Master know what really happened. Not even Elfman knows, but Mirajane does since she was there with us and so does Happy, but he won't say anything either right Happy?"
Lucy and Lisanna glare threateningly at the blue winged cat, and he visibly shakes. "Aye sirs, I mean ma'ams."
"Kyuri, Aspen you can't say anything either got it? I know that Erza won't say anything." Lucy said, looking toward the newcomers who simply gave a thumbs up sign in return. "You two, I need the both of you to help try to wake Kageyama up, Gray, Li, and I will try to break through the barrier as best as we can."
The two newcomers nodded and ran over toward Erza to try and wake the Shadow/Dispeller Wizard up.
Lisanna flares up her hands and nothing else. She then rushes at the wind barrier trying to break through and is knocked back again.
"Star Make!" Lucy said, crossing the knuckles of her right hand with the palm of her left hand. The palm of her right hand is in front of the palm of the left hand, a golden circle forming in front of her crossed hands. "Shuriken Storm!"
Several shurikens are created and start flowing out of the palm of her right hand as well as the fingertips of her left hand straight toward the barrier. Some of them break through, but the holes that are made by the Shuriken Storm are immediately filled in thanks to the barrier repairing itself.
"Ice Make." Gray said, stretching his hands out with the left fist over the right palm creating and sending several lances made of ice toward the barrier. Just like with the Shuriken Storm, the lances pierce the barrier trying to break it, once again, just like the shuriken storm, any and all of the holes made by the lances are immediately filled in by the wind barrier repairing itself.
"Please Kage! You have to wake up." Erza pleaded, trying to jostle the Shadow/Dispeller Wizard awake. "We need you to dispel the barrier."
No matter what Gray, Lucy and Lisanna tried the barrier just wouldn't budge. Lisanna tried ice, and fire once again. Neither her ice nor her fire could do anything to the barrier. The barrier just kept on repairing itself. She continued to use her combined Ice and Fire Tigress form. One of her hands shot an Icy Blast, her other hand fired a Fiery Blast. She didn't give up, she just kept on using her Ice Magic and her Fire Magic to break through the barrier.
"Stop acting like Natsu." Lucy pleaded, holding her best friend close to her bosom. "You don't need to act like the heroine all the time just relax. Besides, I have absolutely no idea what I would do without you. Just be yourself and use that head of yours!"
Lucy then realized something, thinking back to her newest Zodiac Gate Key Acquisition, she snaps her fingers, "I think I might have an idea. I have to make this count, it's the last magic move I'm going to be able to use for a while.
Lisanna was still being held close to Lucy's bosom, her face beet red. She couldn't help but feel comfortable like that as she felt her heart beat faster and faster the longer she stayed in the position she was in. Lucy then set her down, and she felt cold with the sudden lack of contact. She didn't let anybody know that though she just turned to Lucy and listened to what her best friend had to say next.
"Really Lu, what is it?" Lisanna asked as Lucy set her down on her feet. Seeing Lisanna was a bit off-balance, Lucy wraps her left arm around her best friends shoulders steadying her on her feet, while at the same time pulling out an all too familiar key. Lisanna gasped. "Why do you have Virgo's key with you?"
"Did you forget what her magic is Li?" Lucy asked, spinning Virgo's gate key on the index finger of her right hand. "I just wanted to see if I could break through the barrier with the use of our second magics and Gray's Ice Make Magic first. Didn't seem to work out very well did it?"
Lisanna thinks to herself and snaps her fingers on her left hand in remembrance. "That's right, Virgo has Diver Magic! Go for it Lu! We have to get through this barrier and if we can't go through it or over it, we might as well go under it!"
Lucy winks and smiles at her best friend. Swinging her Zodiac Gate Key through the air gently she chants the spell needed to contact her spirit. "Open Gate of the Maiden! Virgo!"
With a purple magic circle forming in front of the key, Lucy plunges the tip of her key into the center of the circle and turns it to the right, causing the purple magic circle to disappear. Once the purple circle disappears, where the circle once was stands, no kneels the Maid Spirit.
"You called Princess? Is it time for my punishment?" Virgo asked of her Wizard and friend.
"No Virgo, no punishment today, I need you to dig a hole and take us underneath the wind barrier so we can go after Erigor." Lucy requested of her spirit.
"Right away Princess." Virgo said with a curtsy, a brown magic circle appearing underneath her feet. Once the circle appears, she jumps up and down and eventually goes underground, soon she comes back out of the hole having dug underneath the wind barrier. "The coast is clear for you and your friends Princess."
Virgo then goes back underground and comes out on the other side of the wind barrier.
"Alright! Let's get out of this joint!" Gray exclaimed, noticing that Lisanna was holding on to Kageyama he has a questioning look on his face. "Exactly what are you doing Lisanna?"
"I know he's our enemy, but I will feel guilty if we just leave him here to die." Lisanna said to the Ice Make Wizard.
"I really don't want to leave him here to die either, even though he did try to kill Miss Lisanna." Kyuri said to Gray.
"Truth be told, it wouldn't be right." Aspen said. "As much as I hate him, we have to save him. We're the good guys remember?"
Everyone nods in sync as Erza notices that Kageyama is now awake, at least he's alive. Erza smiles and jumps down the hole followed shortly by Kyuri and Aspen, and finally Gray. Once Gray is in the hole, Lucy and Lisanna jump down. Lisanna quickly switches to her normal Tigress form momentarily as she lands gracefully on her feet. Once she landed, she returned to her normal form.
From the shadow's, a violet purple-haired girl with long hair in a single braid on the right side of her head looks on. She is wearing a purple yukata with black butterfly designs embroidered on it. On her shoulder is a light purple flying cat just like Happy wearing a light green yukata with a purple obi/belt around her waist. On the flying cat's back is a small scythe strapped to it, tied on the cats tail is a light green bow matching the yukata she is wearing. Careful to stay in the shadows, the violet purple-haired girl with her light purple cat on her shoulder jumps down the hole made by her cousin's spirit. Wait a minute didn't her aunt release most of her spirits before she passed away? This is really confusing the girl to no end. She then realizes more than likely that Lucy probably got some of her Aunt Layla's spirits back that are now in the service of Lucy. She nods and smiles as the young girl and the flying cat make their way along the wall of the tunnel. The tunnel wall acts as a good provider of shadows for the two to sneak along the wall like ninjas not being noticed.
Soon enough, the group emerges on the outside of the wind barrier. Luckily, Virgo created a ladder made of clay for everyone to climb up.
Lucy lets go of Lisanna as she climbs up the ladder that Virgo made. with Kageyama now on her back with his hands around her neck, Lisanna makes her way up the ladder followed shortly by Gray and Erza.
"Well it looks like we all made it out." Gray remarked, adjusting his clothing, yes this time he is actually wearing clothing.
"Good, let's head toward Clover." Erza said.
Lucy and Lisanna fold their arms over their chests. "Man this wind is freezing." The two best friends said after Lisanna gently sets the injured Kageyama down on his back and stands in front of Gray with Lucy. Lucy motions for Lisanna to go ahead and for Happy to carry her. The two nod and take off.
Virgo is pulling Lucy's jean skirt down over her panties. "Princess, I'll keep your panties from showing." Virgo said, oblivious to the fact that her dress is billowing up as well giving Gray a good view of her panties causing said Ice Make Wizard to blush beat red.
"You just worry about your own." Lucy said, berating her maid spirit and pulling out Virgo's key swinging it gently through the air. "Thanks for helping out Virgo, take a nice rest."
Gray gets a huge eye full of Virgo's panties and gasps in awe with big wide white eyes. "Oh Wow!"
"As you wish Princess." Virgo said, curtsying and returning to the Celestial Spirit World.
"It's no use." Kageyama said, his eyes still closed. "You'll never be able to catch up to Erigor, you can't stop us, we've won."
Lucy and the others are looking on, the wind barrier still blowing their hair off to the side. They can't believe what Kageyama is saying.
"Where are Lisanna and Happy?" Erza asked just before a violet purple-haired girl came out of the shadows of the wind barrier with a light purple cat on her shoulder, once Erza sees her, she continues. "Excuse me miss who are you and what are you doing here?"
"I would like to know the same thing." Gray said, suddenly noticing the newcomer with a light purple cat on her shoulder. "Who are you? You better not be with Eisenwald."
"Eisenwald?" The young lady said. She looks to be about a year younger than Lisanna and Lucy with a very skimpy purple yukata with black butterfly-like designs embroidered throughout the entirety of the garment, the cleavage of her chest clearly visible. Attached to her hips is one Katana on each side. On her feet is a pair of purple geta sandals with small pieces of wood attached to the bottom of them causing the sandals to emit a clicking like sound when she walks. Although she seems to be very adept at keeping her footsteps quiet so she can sneak up on people sometimes. Her eyes are also a bright Jade Green color. Around her waist is a green obi/belt that helps accent her figure."What are you talking about?"
"We are not with Eisenwald." The light purple cat said to the group. The light purple cat is wearing a light green yukata similar in design to Luna's. Attached to her back , she had a small scythe. Around her waist is a purple obi/belt. Lucy blinked her eyes once, blinked her eyes twice then looked closely at the new girl. She wasn't either Aspen or Kyuri. She was a totally different person. However once Lucy got a good look at the girl recognition dawned on her face as she went into a trance memories of the girl flooding her mind. Aspen and Kyuri notice this and wonder what's going on with their beloved Celestial/Star Make Wizard.
"Hey Miss Aspen, that light purple cat is just like that blue cat that flew off with Miss Lisanna." Kyuri remarked as she glanced at the smaller newcomer sitting on the taller newcomer's shoulder. What is immediately noticeable about the taller newcomer is the elongated Canine Teeth in her mouth, especially when she talks.
"There is something familiar about her canines though." Aspen said noticing the elongated canines that were displayed when the violet purple-haired girl smiled at seeing Lucy. "I know I've seen those teeth before, but it couldn't be could it. Those don't exist do they?"
Flashback #2(Lucy's POV)Year x776. About a year before she ran away and joined Fairy Tail...
"Lucy dear, I would like you to meet my friend and her daughter," Mom said as I followed her to the garden.
Then in the ivory entrance, I saw a woman waiting for us with golden eyes and dark purple hair in a side braid that goes to her hip. She is wearing a floor length orange kimono with a purple obi/sash. Behind her is a little girl, no older than 7 or 8. She's wearing a white puffy dress that comes to her knees, it has a light purple sash in it, with purple matching flats. Her purple hair is loose with one long, skinny ponytail on each end. She is holding on to a small cat plush toy as her jade green eyes look at me with wonder and fear at the same time.
I then walk behind the woman, and look at the girl straight in the eyes. Then tears start to form in her eyes about ready to spill down her cheeks.
"Don't worry I won't hurt you," I softly spoke.
She slowly starts to come near me and speaks so softly that I almost can't hear her, "Really?" I nodded in response.
"Lucy, this is my friend Ariana Dreyar Heartfilia, your daddy's younger brother's wife." Mom said, introducing her to me.
"Ano... Nice to meet you Aunt Ari! I'm Lucy! Lucy Heartfilia, it's a pleasure to meet you." I said perfectly after years of practice about how to properly introduce yourself as a a heiress.
"Aunt Ari? Nobody besides Laxus has called me that in years!" She stated as she bent down and pats me on the head.
"Luna, come introduce your self," She said waving her hand to the little girl that was now about ten meters away, peeking from one of the bushes.
She comes running toward her mother and finally speaks more than one or two words.
"Eto... Ano... My name is Luna Fate Heartfilia, I hope we can became friends." she said loudly as she tightly hugged her plush toy. So cute! I then take one of her hands and hold it tightly.
"Of course, you're my first dear cousin after all! Let's became friends, ne?" I said smiling.
Her eyes glimmered in happiness as she nodded.
"I use Star Make Magic and Celestial magic! Do you you use any magic?"
"I use Moon Dragon Slaying Magic and Ice Make magic, my foster grandmother said when I grown up, I will be able to use shadow magic too since Moon's sub elements are ice/water and shadow!" She exclaimed happily, still clutching onto her plush cat toy. She is so cute!
"Really? That's so cool!" I replied."Do you wanna go to the the central garden where the fountains are to play?"
"Sure! Let's go." She said in response.
End Flashback#2.
Back to Present Time(Normal POV)...
Lucy comes out of her trance, recognition immediately dawning on her face as she rushes toward the violet purple-haired girl. Lucy is ecstatic. She never thought that she would see this girl again, let alone after not seeing her for nearly eight years or so. Lucy wraps her arms around the girls neck hugging her tight. This causes the girl to sputter and cough.
"Um Cousin Lucy," the girl coughs, then continues to try to talk. "Can't breathe."
Lucy immediately notices what is happening and promptly lets go. She still can't believe her eyes. She reaches out and pinches the other girl's cheek making sure she is real. The girl gasps as she smacks Lucy's hand away. "Cousin Lu, please don't do that, this really is me your cousin Luna Fate Heartfilia." The now introduced Luna said as she returned the hug, equally as strong as the one that the Celestial/Star Make Wizard gave her causing the golden blond to sputter and cough.
"Can't breathe Luna." Lucy said to her cousin. "I was wondering when I would see you again. How long have you been following me?"
"Well, since Hargeon I guess." Luna said immediately releasing the hold she had on her cousin. "I heard that you joined a guild from some of the servants when I went back to the mansion to visit you."
This made Lucy visibly tense as she shook with fear and stuttered looking toward her cousin. "Y-you di-didn't h-happen to s-see F-Father did you?" Lucy asked trying to hide behind Aspen and Kyuri. Aspen was a bit easier to hide behind than Kyuri was.
"Oh Uncle Jude?" Luna asked, shaking her head no, a visible relief now being shown in Lucy's stature. "He was too busy. You know how he is with business."
Lucy nods and comes out from behind Aspen and once again hugs her cousin, then notices the light purple cat on her cousin's shoulder.
"Hey is that a flying cat like Happy is?" Lucy asked curiously, studying the light purple flying cat wearing the light green yukata with purple obi/belt around her waist. "What's her name, she is so cute."
"This is Akiyuki, she hatched six years ago from an egg and we've been together ever since, say where is that other girl and the cat that is always hanging out with you?" Luna asked of her cousin curiously not seeing the white-haired girl anywhere.
"Oh you mean Lisanna and Happy, they flew after Erigor." Lucy said, looking toward Akiyuki with interest she decided to strike up a conversation with the cat."So Akiyuki, what are you and Luna doing here?"
"Luna wanted to see you again." Akiyuki said, something all of a sudden crossed her mind and she had a mischievous grin on her face just like Luna did. "So what was the deal with you cuddling that White-Haired Girl? Are you in love with her or something?"
At these words Lucy blushed beet red and turned her face away from her cousin and her cousin's cat. "I-it's not that way at all, I was just trying to calm her down from her anger. I didn't want her to use anymore of her magic than she had to. She is my best friend after all!"
"Are you sure she is only a best friend Lu?" Luna asked curiously, giving the golden blond an analyzing look. "Are you sure she isn't even more than that? I saw how you care for her as if she is precious to you. What aren't you telling me Cuz?"
"N-nothing Lulu, she is my best friend that's all!" Lucy said, continuing on in a much quieter voice hoping no one around will hear her she continues. "I really want to be more, but I don't know if Li feels the same way. If she doesn't feel the same way I do, I'm afraid of losing one of my best friends. However doesn't it seem kind of odd that I'm falling for another girl? Aren't I supposed to like guys?"
"Excuse me, does someone want to introduce us to the newcomers?" Aspen asked, looking at the two cousins bickering back and forth. "Besides that don't we have a dark magic flute to stop?"
"Um excuse me Miss Lucy," Kyuri said, trying to get the golden blonds attention. "Who are they and how do you know the violet purple-haired girl?"
"Um Lucy, you better explain before we go after Lisanna." Erza said, gaining an angry shadow over her eyes. "TELL US WHO SHE IS GOT IT!"
"Ahhhhhhhh!" Lucy said, her confidence from before fading in the face of a very angry scarlet-haired wizard. "Okay okay, just a minute let me pull myself together ma'am."
"Lucy who is she?" Gray asked, a glare on his face almost as angry as Titania's is. "Explain now!"
"Okay okay." Lucy said, visibly calmed down now. "This is my cousin Luna Fate Heartfilia. The cat on her shoulder is named Akiyuki. She is just like Happy, she hatched out of an egg six years ago. Luna, this is my team Aspen, Kyuri Yuki Kuruwa, Erza Scarlet, and Gray Fullbuster. The white-haired girl from before is Lisanna Strauss. The blue cat you saw is named Happy, just like Akiyuki, he was hatched from an egg six years ago. A good friend of mine, who we haven't seen in two years, Lisanna, and I raised Happy together. In case you are wondering what our team is called..." Lucy paused looking toward Erza to see if it was okay to say the name of the team. Once the scarlet-haired wizard nodded followed by the black-haired wizard,she told Luna and Akiyuki the name of her team. "Our Team Name is Team Lucy, Lisanna and I are the leaders and before you ask, Lisanna said it was okay if we called it Team Lucy."
"So Lisanna is my cousin's girlfriend's name." Luna said, a very teasing look on her face as she looked toward her cousin. "So how long have you felt this way for Lisanna?"
"I would like to know the same thing." Akiyuki said.
"I-it's not like that shut up guys!" Lucy said, sputtering in disbelief at the cat and girl in front of her.
Erza, Gray, Aspen, and Kyuri just giggled. They can tell what's going on, Kyuri and Aspen haven't been there for that long, but even they know what's going on with their leader.
"Enough!" Erza exclaimed, helping Kageyama up and into the magic mobile. "We need to go after Erigor."
"Right!" Everyone said in sync as they got into to the car.
Gray, Kageyama, and Aspen are on one side, while Luna, Lucy, and Kyuri are on the other with Akiyuki resting on the violet purple-haired girl's head.
Meanwhile in Clover Canyon...
Erigor the reaper is flying straight toward Clover. He can see it within his sights. Unknown to him, a certain white-haired girl is following him holding on to blue cat that is flying as fast as he can.
"I can see the town up ahead, just a little further and I'll have my revenge!" Erigor chuckled, continuing to fly toward Clover.
"Yaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!" A female voice screamed rushing up really fast behind the Ace of Eisenwald. "I've got you now, didn't think a cat could fly at Mach Speed did you?"
Lisanna is holding onto Happy's Torso as he flies her toward Erigor. Lisanna has an angry scowl on her face that matches Happy's scowl. Lisanna activates her Tigress claws on her feet and lights them on fire, kicking Erigor out of the air and into the ground. Lisanna lets go of Happy and lands on her feet easily since she is in her Tigress form. Happy falls really fast Lisanna catches him in her arms and cuddles him close to her bosom. "Are you okay sweetie?" Lisanna asked, worrying about the blue cat's state of health.
"Yeah but I'm so tired, can't fly." Happy said with exhaustion evident in his voice.
"Don't worry sweetie, I think I can handle it from here." Lisanna said gently setting the exhausted flying cat down so he can rest and regain his strength.
"You again?!" Erigor asked, taking notice of Lisanna's presence after she returned to her normal form.
Lisanna hears his voice and turns toward it and just glares at the Ace of Eisenwald.
"You're one of those Fairy Tail Flies." Erigor said with an angry tone to his voice. "What are you doing here?"
Lisanna glares at her opponent as flames spiral down her arms and onto her hands. Flames spiraling around her hands she takes a fighting stance, activating her Fire Tigress form. "I'm not letting you get past me you dress-wearing wind bag!"
With the rest of the group in the Magic Mobile...
Erza is putting the pedal to the metal so to speak, in other words she is putting all the magic she can into piloting the magic mobile as the tires squeal and the vehicle continues to move down the track toward the direction that Lisanna and Happy flew off to.
"So tell me, why are you taking me with you?" Kageyama asked everyone in the car.
"Have you looked at yourself?" Aspen asked curiously gesturing to the state that the Shadow/Dispeller Wizard is currently in.
"Well duh," Luna said, rolling her eyes then looking back at Kageyama. "Would you rather we left you to die?"
"That can be arranged." Kyuri said with a cold look in her eyes and cold tone to her voice.
"You obviously need a doctor." Lucy scoffed, frowning at the pony-tailed wizard, turning her head away. "And since everyone left town, you're going to have to see one in Clover, try to show some gratitude."
"I don't understand, " Kageyama said, shock, surprise and confusion evident in his voice. "We're enemies."
Lucy and Luna just glare angrily at Kageyama.
"Oh wait I get it," Kageyama said, crossing his arms over his bandaged chest, his head and eyes downcast. "you're taking me hostage so you can make a deal with Erigor. Well you can forget it, he could care less about me or any of his men."
Akiyuki sweat drops from her spot on Luna's head. "Geez, lighten up dude."
"If you wanna die, we can make that happen." Gray said, crossing his arms over his chest.
"Chill Gray!" Lucy exclaimed toward the Ice Make Wizard also with a sweat drop as Kageyama raised his head up and opened his eyes fully.
"There's a whole lot more to this world than just life and death you know." Gray said, addressing Kageyama specifically .
"You should try and look for the positive, you and your Eisenwald pals." Aspen said, also addressing Gray specifically.
"Pfft!" Kageyama scoffs right before Erza hits a bump causing Lucy and Luna to come off of their seats sending their butts into Kageyama's face, followed shortly by Kyuri's butt also impacting Kageyama's face causing him to mumble with his face completely covered with the three butts of Lucy, Luna, and Kyuri.
Aspen and Gray just moved sideways out of the way. "What happened?" Aspen and Gray chimed together in curiosity and annoyance at the same time.
"It's okay!" Erza said, trying to calm her passengers down as she continues to drive the magic mobile down the track. "Everything's fine now."
"We are so sorry!" The three girls chimed together in apology.
"Could your butts be any bigger?!" Kageyama asked, right hand covering the bruise on his face.
"Ahhh!" The three girls exclaimed as they turned toward Gray pointing behind them their eyes wide as saucers and their teeth clenched in anger. "Sexual Harrassment, kill him Gray, he said we have big butts! You aren't seriously going sit there and let him get away with it are ya?"
"Geez, so much for trying to have a serious moment." Gray said in exasperation, turning away from the complaining girls.
On the driver seat of the Magic Mobile, Erza nearly closes her eyes because her vision is getting so blurry. 'Huh my vision is getting blurry, I must've used more magic energy than I thought. Lisanna you have to stop Erigor, it's all up to you now.' Erza thought to herself, continuing to drive the Magic Mobile down the tracks. 'Don't let me down!'
Back with Lisanna and Erigor...
Lisanna is standing across from Erigor in her Fire Tigress form standing in a fighting stance. Her Tigress claws are out to the side lit aflame with Happy resting face down on the tracks behind her trying regain his strength. Erigor opposes her, the blade of his scythe resting on the tracks, while he holds the handle of his scythe in his right hand.
"As a dear friend of mine would say," Lisanna said, her Tigress Fangs exposed and shining brightly in her mouth readying her Fiery claws into striking position. "I'm going to burn you and that flute of yours to a crisp!"
"So you were able to break through my Wind Barrier." You little flies can be such a nuisance." Erigor remarked, readying his scythe to strike the Tigress Girl studying her with a calculating look to his eyes. "Now get out of my way little girl, or else."
Erigor raises his left hand up in the air, while holding the handle of the scythe in his right hand, activating a light purple magic circle and aiming it toward the Take Over Wizard in her Tigress form with the reddish-orange streaks in her hair shining brightly. Sending a twister of wind straight toward the girl.
The wind attack from Erigor strikes the girl straight on pushing her back, however she is barely phased.
"Is that all you got cross dresser?" Lisanna asked charging forward at Erigor, surrounding her feet and hands with flame she jumps up in the air and slams her hands toward Erigor causing a massive explosion of dust and debris to kick up. Eventually, she lands a blow to the wind wizard knocking him back causing him to fly up into the air.
'Impossible she uses her flames to jump and to strike?' Erigor thought to himself, berating his underestimate of the white and reddish-orange haired Tigress girl in front of him. 'I underestimated her power, perhaps this might actually be a challenge.'
Erigor then uses his wind magic to jump up into the air and fly away from the young lady that just landed in a squatting position with her right fist down on the ground looking up at the Eisenwald Ace with a cocky expression on her face, that nearly matches one that Natsu would've done two years ago. How she missed her friend, she had to survive this battle for Natsu, and for her Lucy. Her Lucy, where did that come from? Could this girl be harboring some deeper feelings for the golden blond that is more than being a best friend?
"What are you doing up there you coward?" Lisanna asked, cockiness evident in the tone of voice she's using. "Come down here and fight me like a man!"
The word man was said in her best imitation of her big brother's voice, she sounded pretty much like a teenage girl that was just purposely deepening her voice.
"Don't get too cocky fly!" Erigor exclaimed moving his left hand in a motion causing a purple magic circle to appear in front of him and kicking up a Tornado that was heading straight for Lisanna. "STORM BRINGER!"
"Lisanna!" Happy exclaimed, attempting to activate his Aera Magic to save Lisanna, his light blue magic circle appearing over his back and immediately vanishing. "It's no use, not enough magic power."
The attack sent toward Lisanna picks her up inside the funnel and starts to spin her around extinguishing her flames, sending her down into the canyon and hitting her head along the way.
"Ha Ha ha ha ha! Goodbye Fairy Tail Fly!" Erigor cackled, his cocky grin once again returning to his face thinking that he won the battle.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, this hurts." Lisanna said as she is being bounced from one rock to another. "Wait a minute, what am I doing, I'm forgetting the one thing that I convinced Lucy to teach me to do. That's it! I know!"
Lisanna righted herself, a reddish-orange magic circle appearing underneath her feet cushioning her fall. She is now hovering just a few inches above the floor of the canyon.
"What impossible! She isn't nearly as strong as the famed Salamander of Fairy Tail. How is she doing that?" Erigor asked to himself. "Is she using wind magic like I am?" Erigor looks down and sees reddish-orange flames blowing from her feet helping her hover. He sweat dropped and took notice of Lisanna's current stasis, "I honestly had no idea that Fire Magic could be used like my wind magic. You learn something new everyday."
"Hey, you look kind of cold up there all half naked and stuff." Lisanna said with a smile on her face. "Do you want me to warm you up?"
"Your flames are powerless against me." Erigor said, hovering in the air chuckling evilly. "What are you going to do about it girly?"
"We will just see how powerless my flames are against you you streaker!" Lisanna said, activating a reddish-orange magic circle once again. Which in turn allows the Reddish-Orange Streaks in her hair to shine even brighter as she holds her arms out to the side and her cheeks puff up activating a reddish-orange circle in front of her mouth as she opens up her mouth and roar's. "Fire Tigress Roar!"
Once Lisanna shouted out her attack, flames come spewing out of her mouth straight for Erigor who promptly blocks it by thrusting his left hand out with his index and middle fingers pointed up and his ring and pinky fingers stretched across his palm toward his thumb. "Storm Wall!" Erigor exclaimed, a purple magic circle appearing in front of him stopping the attack in its tracks.
Lisanna gasped in shock at how easily her attack was blocked.
'I can't believe this cat girl, there's no rhyme or reason to her attacks. The way she attacks reminds me of a certain wizard of the Fairy Tail Guild who went on a high-ranked mission two years ago and never came back. Is this what all Fairy Tail Wizards are like?' Erigor thought to himself, still hovering in the air with his left hand thrust forward in the same position as it was when he blocked Wild's Soul's Fire Attack.
"Ha ha ha!" Lisanna giggled maliciously to herself.
"Although your powers are remarkable," Erigor pointed out, then continued. "I'm afraid you're still no match for me. Enough of this cat and mouse chase, it's time to get serious."
"I'm ready when your are!" The Fire Tigress exclaimed, analyzing what her opponent is about to do as well as what she will do to counter it.
Erigor stretches his scythe out to his right side, while stretching his left arm straight, his right hand easily spinning his scythe around activating his purple magic circle causing it to appear in front of him while spinning his scythe. "STORM MAIL!"
After his spell was activated, his whole body is wrapped in a tornado like cocoon that functions as armor, the whites of his eyes the only thing visible within the tornado, as he stands opposing Wild's Soul.
"Here I come!" Erigor exclaimed, heading straight for the white and reddish-orange streak haired girl.
Lisanna activates the flames on her hands and rushes straight toward Erigor. The flames impact the barrier around Erigor and are quickly extinguished.
"What's a matter Fairy Tail Fly, can't handle the breeze?" Erigor taunted, prompting Lisanna to change up her strategy a bit, but not much.
"Coward, you just had to go and wrap yourself in a wind barrier." Lisanna retorted in response to Erigor's taunt slashing her Tigress claws through the air, easily lighting them aflame after activating a reddish-orange magic circle in front of her. "This will break through it. Fire Tigress Flaming Claw Slash!"
Jumping up in the air, Lisanna crosses her arms in front of her at the forearms, her sharp claws ignited in flame, front flipping easily through the air with what looks to be a flaming Tigress Silhouette appearing behind her she slashes her flaming claws down in an x-like pattern impacting the wind barrier, however the wind barrier immediately extinguishes the flames on Lisanna's claws prompting her to stop in mid-slash.
"What? Why did my flames go out?" Lisanna asked to no one in particular.
"As I expected," Erigor's voice echoed through the wind barrier, continuing to taunt Lisanna. "you're completely helpless without your flames. Looks like I have the upper hand."
"As if! I'm a Fairy Tail Wizard! Nothing can stop me!" Lisanna retorted cockily completely missing the tendrils of wind lashing out at her pushing her back.
"Unfortunately for you the winds of my storm mail attack blow outwardly, if you get to close it will smother your flames leaving you powerless against me." Erigor berated, still very well protected within his wind barrier.
"Oh yeah!" Lisanna exclaimed, surprise and shock evident in her voice as she clenches her fists completely forgetting she was still in her Fire Tigress form.
"Fire can never defeat wind!" Erigor exclaimed, flying up into the sky within his wind barrier.

Next Time on Starry Heavens: Bonds of Friendship, Magic & Love - Episode 009: Lullaby Unleashed! The Strongest Team Fights On!
Author's Note:
As I was reading through this chapter trying to figure out how I can make it at least a little bit better, I decided to take out the part of the battle with Lisanna's Wind Tigress form. Currently, she only has access to two elements. Those two elements are Fire and Ice. I really couldn't change much of anything in this chapter to re-post. I just fixed a few things. I hope this version is alright.
