A man stared down at a wheezing Natsu. "Mind if I sit here?" He indicated the vacant seat next to Natsu, plopping down without waiting for an answer.

"You two seem to be in pain." The stranger observed. "Are you feeling alright?" He smiled when he noticed the guild mark on the two slumped over mages shoulder.

"A normal guild, huh? Fairy Tail..." Kageyama leaned forward. "I envy you."


"How could I have done something like that?" Erza moaned. "I was so focused on explaining the situation that I forgot all about Natsu and Lucy! And they can't handle moving vehicles either. Someone hit me now!"

"No way" the wizard and cat yell,

The group followed her as she walked back into the station and pulled the emergency stop lever. Gray sighed as the station staff ran around them, trying to regain control of the situation. "Oh man, this is not good."

Happy looked to his naked friend.

"Where are your clothes?"


"Speaking of Fairy Tail, Mirajane's famous, isn't she?" Kageyama continued the one-sided conversation. "I hear she appears in magazines sometimes, and she's beautiful. She's still young, so I'm not sure why she retired so early."

Lucy groaned, "I have no idea if Mirajane is famous, I just joined you idiot, Natsu might though" trying to be helpful.

Ignoring the salmon haired mage on the side he continues "And then there's Erza Scarlet. She's pretty cute too." Kageyama added. "By any chance, are the two of you friends?" "All the cute girls go to the regular guilds." Kage mused. "Like I said, I envy you. There're no girls in my guild, so maybe you could share some of yours. That's what I'd like to say, at least.

Fire pooled in Lucy's stomach as she heard the mage in front of her talk about Erza like that, "grrrr"

Kageyama grinned as he kicked Lucy in the face. "Don't ignore me. That kind of attitude is demeaning to us Dark guild members!"

The man smirked when he noticed Natsu regain his bearings and glared furiously at him. "You're gonna regret that"

"Oh, so you're talking now." He observed smugly. "You see, Fairy Tail has been getting way too much attention lately. Stuck up people like that tend to really piss me off." He leaned forward. "You know what we call Fairy Tail? To us, you're just annoying flies that need to be swatted." He clapped Lucy on the head to demonstrate.

Lucy shot up and screamed, igniting her fists. "Knock it ooofff-mmmppph."

Kageyama burst out laughing. "What kind of magic is that?" A shadowy hand shout out of the floor nail Lucy in the face, sending her flying back. "That's how you use magic."

Kage's pack fell off the seat as the vehicle came to a screeching halt. "What the... it stopped?" Kageyama exclaimed, looking out the window.

Natsu glanced at a weird flute with a three-eyed skull at one end. Kageyama noticed that and paled. "You... you saw it!"

"I owe you for Lucy." lighting up his hand. "So here you go!" He punched Kage, knocking him down and sending him crashing down the aisle.

"That's how a fly can punch." Natsu told him hurrying to check on Lucy who was getting up slowly.

"We have confirmed that the emergency stop was due to a false alarm." A voice announced over the loudspeaker. "We will resume travel shortly. We apologize for the inconvenience."

"Why was I the one he kept hitting." Lucy muttered coming up from where she landed. Noticing the train was stopped Lucy grabbed Natsu "We'd better get out of here Natsu.

Ignoring Kage's ranting about fighting and Eisenwald, Lucy and Natsu gathered up their luggage and leapt out the window. Unfortunately, the train had already started moving by that point, so wind pressure ended up pushing them several meters back straight into Gray, who was on the roof of Erza's magical four-wheeler. Happy laughed as the two partners tumbled backwards off the vehicle.


"Hey, what were you two idiots doing still on the train?" Gray yelled at the two idiot slayers.

"We felt like taking an extended vacation." Lucy deadpanned. "

Lucy turned away from Gray and scowled when Erza, and Happy approached her and Natsu. "Oi, how could you leave us behind like that?"

"I apologize." Erza stated solemnly.

Happy nodded. "Yeah, what Erza said."

"I'm relieved to see you're safe." Erza added, smashing Lucy's and Natsu's head against her armor in a hug.

"Safe! Are you kidding me I got kicked in the face by some weirdo ponytailed guy" Lucy said into the armor. Natsu was the same " Yeah! Some guy picked a fight with Luce and I on the train! Who was it again Luce? Eisenwald or something?"

"Nah, I think it was Eisenbald?"

"You idiots!" Erza slapped him and Lucy. Although Lucy was pretty sure she got slapped a little harder than Natsu. "It's Eisenwald and that's who we're after!"

"Well how the hell were we supposed to know!" Lucy answers back rubbing her sore face.

"I explained on the train how important it was we get to them!" Erza argued. "Why didn't you listen to what I was telling you?"

"Do you not remember, knocking Natsu out and punching me, putting me in more pain then I already was, then forgetting us." Lucy yelled.

Erza growled "What did he look like" not wanting to admit she was right.

Natsu frowned. "Nothing special. He carried a flute with a three-eyed skull on one end"

Erza grasped him by the collar. "Are you serious?" shaking the dragon slayer, in anger "That was Lullaby!"

" Oh hey, I remember now! Rumors say that whoever plays a tune on that flute will kill everyone who hears it. In other words, it's a mass murder curse." Lucy says, smiling. High fiving Natsu for remembering such a thing.

Slapping her face, the knight mage groans in annoyance at the two slayers. How are they so alike?


"Erigor-sama, we have complete control of the train!" An Eisenwald mage reported.

"Excellent." A tall man with long white hair chuckled, holding up Lullaby. "With this, the mass-murder curse magic, we are all set. Let the show begin!"


"We're here." Erza announced as the magic vehicle stopped in front of Oshibana station. "This is where the hijacked train stopped."

"Are you okay Erza, you drove that pretty fast?' Gray asked worried she might've drained a bit too much magic.

"I'm fine. Let's worry more about the mission" she said waving off the bit of fatigue she felt.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please stay back." A train station worker shouted through a megaphone. "A train was derailed in an accident, so no one is allowed in. Until we have the situation under control, the station is closed to the public."

"Let's go." Erza commanded, pushing through the crowd. Natsu and Lucy moaned.

Gray gritted his teeth. "I swear to Mavis, if you don't stop treating me like transportation, I'll freeze you where you stand".

"Happy, why aren't you helping me" Natsu moans.

"I didn't know I was supposed to" the cat snickers.

"Loke, why aren't you helping me?" Lucy groans. Sorry Lucy but I'm on a date, Loke answers.

Erza approaches a station employee. "What's going on?"

"Who are you?" The man asked.

Erza slammed a knee into his groin and the girl moved on.

"What's going on?" only waiting only a few seconds for a reply before she did something.

"I, um..."

Erza headbutted him and they moved on like a broken record repeating the same question over and over to each guard until one answered.

"What's going on?"

"Help me!"

The knight kicked the man into a wall and moved to the next one.

"She's so majestic" the demon slayer/Celestial mage says from where she's leaning to steady herself.

Natsu and Gray stare at the girl bewildered, their only thought being "Are we looking at the same Erza!"

"What's going on?"

"A military platoon went in, but they haven't returned yet!" The man shouted in fear. "The terrorists from Eisenwald didn't leave either! Most probably there's still fighting going on in there."

Erza nodded and the party of four (plus Happy) walked into the building. On the stairs, Erza sighed at the view before her.

"They've been defeated." She remarked, staring at the unconscious forms of the soldiers. "The opponent is a guild full of mages. Those guys wouldn't have stood a chance."

"I knew you'd come." A voice resounded as soon as they stepped on the platform. "Fairy Tail wizards. I've been waiting for you."

"Why?" Lucy asks lying on the floor.

"What?" Erigor says surprised by the question.

"I said why were you waiting for us, surely you knew it'd be easier to get whatever you needed to by just going ahead and doing it, so why wait, unless you're being dramatic?" Lucy says still getting over her nauseous fatigue where she was lying.

Stunned the assassin is silent as well as the rest of the dark guild the only sound being Natsu laughing at Lucy's observation. "That's my Luce, asking the hard-hitting questions."

Erza slapped her face at her guild members outburst then went back to glaring at the speaker. "I take it you must be Erigor, right?"

"You fly." Kageyama snarled, rubbing a mark on his neck. "It's because of you..."

"Calm down, Kage." A man behind Kageyama advised him.

Lucy got up. "Wait a minute... that voice..."

"You! What is your plan?" Erza demanded. "Depending on your answer, I might have to make you pay!"

Erigor shrugged. "Nothing really. We have no job and we're kind a bored, so we just want to fool around a bit."

He smirked and stood up. "Don't you understand what they have in a train station?" He asked, starting to levitate. The Fairy Tail mages watched as he flew up to the large megaphones and understanding dawned on them.

"You're going to broadcast Lullaby?" Erza exclaimed. Erigor burst out laughing. "There are hundreds... no, thousands of curious people gathering around this station right now. If we broadcast it loud enough, maybe even the entire town will hear it!"

"Murderer!" Erza spat.

"We are simply cleaning up. Those fools who live their lives enjoying their rights are unaware that there are people who have lost those same rights. Living a life oblivious to the unfairness of the world is a sin." Erigor grinned. "And so, the Shinigami has come to punish them. A punishment called death."

"That's dumb." Lucy said flippantly. "If you do something that stupid, your rights will forever remain out of your reach."

"It's not about the rights anymore." Erigor countered starting to get angry at the blondes' comments. "Now that we got this far, it's the power we're interested in. If we have the power and authority, we can simply erase the past and control the future."

"What a pity that you little flies will die before seeing the new world we'll create!" Kage shouted, sending a shadow arm towards Natsu.

"I knew I recognized that voice!" Lucy shouted, smashing the shadowy limb that hit her back on the train to pieces with one of her celestial demon punches.

Kageyama growled. "Why, you..."

Erigor grinned and flew up higher.

"I'll leave the rest to you." Erigor told the guild. "While I go play the flute, you guys let those flies feel the power of Eisenwald's darkness." With these words, he crashed into a window and flew out of the station.

Erza rounded on her team. "Natsu, Gray! You two go after him!"

Both boys stared at her. "Huh?"

"If you guys work together, there's no way you'll lose to him!" Erza told them. Now go! Lucy and I can handle things here!"

The two boys nodded and sped out of the room. "Leave them to me." One of the Eisenwald members ordered. "I'll get them!"

"I'll take the salmon head!" Kageyama shouted, vanishing into his shadow. I wanted to take on the blondie, but he'll do.

A roundish member of Eisenwald frowned as he observed the two girls. The blond one... uses celestial fire?... could it be?

"Are you ready Lucy". Erza grinned, taking out her sword.

Lucy summoned Loke and Scorpio "Of course Erza, I already told you I will do what I must to protect you", looking to the dark guild members with a vicious smile Lucy crouches "Loke, Scorpio, would you mind helping me rid of these thugs?"

"She also uses spirits! It's definitely her!" the mage thought starting to sweat at who they were about to fight.

"We are!"

"Of course, Princess"

"Very Well, now then you people seem to be bothering my love and because of that I will be taking you out" Lucy says taking a step forward as she lights her fist up

"Ack, You-don't really need to protect me you know" Erza says sweat dropping," I'm a S-class mage".

"Oh, like a wizard saint! I knew I chose a strong mate" Lucy says smiling.

"Wait a second you guys, the blonde hair, white cloak, celestial flames, that has to be her!" a guild member yelled.

"Who", another Eisenwald thug yells.

"THE ISHGAR DEMON!"

"No way, I never signed up to fight her" another thug yelled, trying to run away before getting slammed with Loke's regulus.

"Oh, so you know of me. Excellent then you now that wherever I go people learn why being bandits is a bad idea" Lucy says laughing.

Ishgar Demon? No way, Lucy Is the one responsible for destroying all those dark guilds in Alvarez, Erza thinks looking at the blonde who has taken on a slightly devilish look.

"FLAMING STAR DEMON WRATH!" a raging inferno of golden flames erupts from the thin blondes' mouth. Within minutes of Lucy fighting alongside her spirits over half the guild is knocked out. With a satisfied demon slayer slightly out of breath, Lucy walks up to Erza, who is surprised that her guild mate has turned out to be the infamous Ishgar Demon.

"So, you're the mage who for three years kept the West free of any bandit guilds?" Erza asks impressed at such a feat.

"If I say yes, will you be my mate?" Lucy says grinning.

"No." Erza deadpans. Nevertheless, the amount of power Lucy is said to have… amazing. Erza thinks.

Requiping into her heavenly armor Erza prepares herself to send swords towards the remaining members, defeating the rest of the guild.

Erza frowned when she saw one of the mages running away. "Go after him, Lucy. He might be heading to Erigor."

Lucy nodded. "Right, whatever you say. Come Happy you can help too!"

"Aye sir"

Looking to her spirits before she leaves, they nod understanding her request.


"Phew." Erza panted, sitting down. "Driving that magical four-wheeler drained me more than I realized. I'll have to leave the rest to the others."

Erza laid back and stared at the ceiling for a moment, before Loke interrupted her train of thought.

"Do you think there would ever be a chance you might consider returning Lucy's feelings" the usual playful lion, says serious.

"I, uh, I don't know." Erza says caught off guard, "I mean she's very sweet, and strong, but being someone's mate, looking away Erza continues "Natsu explained to me what that means, and I don't know if I could handle it", pausing in contemplation," There's also the fact we've just met, Loke".

Humming Loke nods his head in understanding.

"Why me?"

"Beats me, you're the first-person Lucy has showed any romantic interest in since she's turned old enough to even start understanding what romance is" Loke says smiling, disregarding Mira, because that was most likely due to her making her food.

Blushing Erza looks away taking in everything the spirit has said.


"We have to work together?" Gray exclaimed furiously.

"The power of fire and ice cannot combine!" Natsu retorted.

"There's no way!"

"Impossible!"

"I mean, Erza's so selfish!"

"Exactly!" Gray shouted. "She can't make all the decisions like that!"

"I can take care of Erigor all by myself!" They both snarled.

"Stop mimicking me!" They yelled in unison, smashing a fist into the other's face.

"Wait." Gray ordered, looking at a fork in the road. "We'll have to split up here."

Natsu nodded. "Yeah, I guess."

"Listen, Natsu." Gray warned him. "Our opponent is a maniac with a dangerous power at his disposal. If you find him, just crush him."

"There's more to it, isn't there?" Natsu asked. "He's an idiot who picked a fight with Fairy Tail. I'll just burn him to cinders if I find him."

The two boys grinned at each other, before realization set in and they turned away, huffing. "Don't die." Gray muttered.

"Huh?"

"Nothing! Just go already!" Gray shouted, already running down his path.

"Damn." He cursed, eyeing a loudspeaker. "If he's really planning to broadcast that death melody, it's not going to be pretty. Wait... broadcast?"

The enormity of his brainwave caused Gray to stop in his tracks. "If he's planning to broadcast it, then he has to be in the room with the controls to the broadcasting system!"

A few minutes later, Gray found a door labeled 'Studio'. "Found it!" He exclaimed, kicking the door open, only to find it empty.

"Wait." The ice mage muttered, oblivious to the Eisenwald member coming out of the ceiling. "This is the only room Erigor could broadcast from. If he's not here, then does that mean he never planned to broadcast it?"

The Dark guild member grinned as he shot several black bands from his fingers at Gray's back. Just before they connected, Gray leapt to one side and spun to face his assailant.

"You have good instincts." The man praised Gray, lowering himself to the floor. "That will prove to be a nuisance to our plan."

Gray smirked. "So there really is something bigger going on here, huh?"


"Makarov, dearie, I really like your mages. They're all so lively and spirited." Master Bob of the Blue Pegasus guild said as he came over to Makarov.

Makarov perked up. "Don't I know. We just got a new guild member, Lucy. she's quite powerful, that girl. 5th rank wizard saint, would you believe"

Master Bob, jaw dropped. "How in heaven's sake did you manage to get a wizard who is higher in rank than you in your guild?"

"Natsu brought her in after almost blowing up Hargeon Port" the small guild master said laughing. "Doubt he knew who she was though".

Goldmine, the master of the Quatro Cerberus guild, frowned "It's good to be lively, but aren't your mages taking things too far? I heard that the council is worried they might blast a whole town to smithereens one day."

Makarov sweat dropped "Probably will with the girl's strength, I was a little harsh with one of my members kids and almost suffocated from the amount of magic power she was giving off."

"Oh my." Bob giggled. "Remind me not to mess with this Lucy of yours."

"Master Makarov." A delivery bird called, flying over with a letter. "You have a message from Mirajane Strauss."

Makarov took out a card from the envelope and held it up. A hologram of Mira came to life. "Master, thank you for attending the regular Guild Masters' meeting." She started.

"Look, she's our poster girl!" Makarov crowed to the assembled mages. "Isn't she cute?"

"Something amazing has happened, Master!" Holo-Mira cheered excitedly. "Erza formed a team with Natsu, Gray and the new guild member Lucy! Of course, Happy's with them too!"

"Don't you think it's wonderful?" She asked, oblivious to Makarov breaking out in a cold sweat. "I think this might be the strongest team in Fairy Tail! I thought you should know about this, so I sent you this letter. See you soon!" And she vanished.

The other mages shot up in alarm when Makarov fell off his seat.

Good heavens! Makarov thought in his semi-conscious state. Now they really could destroy an entire town. The regular meeting ends today, and I can go back tomorrow, so until then... please don't make a mess! Especially you Lucy!


A large crowd milled in front of the train station. Questions from many were being asked. Many consisted of 'what's going on inside?' and 'are the those threatening everyone gone?' were heard, but the station staff keeping the crowd at bay was unable to answer, as they didn't know themselves.

"Look!" A watcher shouted suddenly. "Someone's coming out!" seeing a tall scarlet haired woman they waited with baited breath for word of what's going on.

The crowd fell silent and watched as Erza stepped out onto the balcony of the building.

"You're the one who barged in here earlier!" An employee with a megaphone remembered. "What's happening inside?" Erza didn't reply. She just tore the megaphone out of his grasp and stepped forward.

"If you value your lives, leave here immediately!" She yelled through the device. "The station is occupied by dark mages. One of them is prepared to cast a spell that will kill everyone here! Evacuate as far away as possible."

The crowd went still for a moment, processing her words, before the mass of people turned and ran, screaming and pushing in their haste to escape.

"Hey!" The worker exclaimed. "Why are you causing panic?"

"It's better than seeing them die." Erza responded tonelessly. "What I just said is true. Of course, we're doing what we can to prevent it, but we cannot guarantee safety. It's best if you evacuate as well."

Erza watched the man flee, before turning back to face the city. Erigor can commit mass murder by using Lullaby. But now that there's no one here, it would be meaningless to play it. So then... what will he do now?

Erza's eyes widened in shock as the wind rose around the station to unnatural speeds. "What the...?" Backing away she realized it was only around the station that it was happening to.


"If you want to broadcast Lullaby, this is the only place to do it." Gray told his opponent. "If Erigor has the Lullaby and he's not here, then why did you occupy the station?"

His enemy responded by slamming the black bands into Gray. The ice mage ducked, and the attack smashed into the broadcasting console, obliterating it.

Gray frowned. He destroyed the broadcasting system without hesitation. So, they really have something else in mind! But what the hell is it, Gray thought.

Gray whirled around to face another attack and formed a wall of ice in front of himself, causing the bands to bounce off. "What is your real plan?"

The Eisenwald mage grinned. "Right about now, Erigor should have formed his wind wall around the station."

"Wind wall?"

The man laughed. "It's a barrier meant to prevent you flies from leaving this place."

Erza looked up at the huge wall of wind and immediately realized that something else was going on. "The station... it's completely surrounded!"

"Oh?" A floating figure sighed. "What is a fly doing outside? Wait a minute... you're the one who made the bystanders run away. Hello, Titania."

Erza looked up at the man. "Erigor! Did you do this?" pointing to the wind barrier going around the station.

"I wanted to get a chance to fight you at least once." Erigor mused. "But unfortunately, I don't have time for that right now. So just stay inside and be a good little fly, ok?" With those words he sent a blast of wind at her, knocking her through the wind wall back into the station with no way back out to get to him.

Erza picked herself up from the floor and jumped at the barrier, only to pull her hand back rapidly as cuts appeared all over it. What the hell? Erza thought.

"Don't bother." Erigor advised. "This wall only works one way, outside to inside. Anyone trying to leave will be torn to shreds" the man shrugged, floating away. "I've wasted enough time on you. I guess it's time for me to go now."

"What's going on?" Erza growled as she watched him disappear into the distance. "The station isn't their target?"


"I hate cryptic half-answers, so tell me exactly what's happening!" Gray ordered, smashing his foe through a wall.

"We trapped you idiots here because you took us by surprise." The man chortled. "We planned to block off access to Clover station, which is the last stop for this line. The town at the end is on the other side of a huge ravine, and the train is the only means of transportation there. Unless you can fly like Erigor, that is."

"So that's where he's headed?" Gray asked incredulously.

The Eisenwald mage sneered. "Think carefully. Something big is happening in Clover right now." When he saw Gray freeze in shock, realizing what he was insinuating the mage then took that moment to blast Gray back.

The ice user gritted his teeth against the blast. No way. Clover... that town is... it's where the regular meeting for guild masters is being held and where the guild masters are right now! Are they the real target of this madness?

"You've got some guts to try doing something like that to the old geezers." Gray commented.

"If they're unaware of what's happening, it should be easy. Someone like Erigor can handle it." The band user explained. "And the people in our way, like you guys, are trapped in this building. If Erigor put up the Magic Wind Barrier like he was supposed to." "With you stuck here, no one can stop us!" "We're taking revenge on those that dared oppress us!" He crowed.

The man choked when Gray grasped his face painfully. "We're going to stop it." The teenager growled. "And you'll regret ever messing with those we consider parents!"

His foe screamed before falling to the ground, completely stiff and frozen in a block of ice.

"I'll teach you that some guilds can be even more threatening than a Dark guild." Gray sneered, standing over the icy form.


Half of the Eisenwald guild was tied up thanks to Erza. She let her guard down momentarily and Erigor took that opportunity to push her inside the wind barrier trapping her inside. She tried busting out of it but only succeeded in hurting her arm. Now she was currently asking one of Eisenwald's mages, Byard some questions.

"Just forget about its lady. I already told you there's no undoing Erigor's barrier. You and your buddies are stuck." He laughed.

"Erza!" someone called out.

She looked up and saw it was Gray, "What are you doing here I thought you were with Natsu?"

"We decided to split up! Never mind that now! Listen I just found out Eisenwald's real target is Clover the next town up!" Gray informed.

"What?" Erza gasped.

"Erigor's headed towards the conference as we speak! He's planning to use the Lullaby to kill the guild masters!" he told her.

Erza glared murderously at Byard, "Why didn't you tell me?!"

He shivered with fear, "Because I'm a bad guy?"

"There's a problem, the station is surrounded by a wind barrier." Erza said ignoring the mages weak excuse.

"Yeah I know I saw it earlier. If you try to break through that thing it'll make mincemeat outta ya." He said.

"Yes, I know. I've already experienced that," Erza told him while holding her arm.

Gray saw the state her arm was in, "Whoa is your arm okay?"

Erza waved his concern away more worried about the guild masters and how close Egrigor was to them.

"That's not important. What is important is getting out of here. We must stop Erigor before he reaches the guild maters conference." She said then remembered something, "Wait a minute! I remember them talking about someone named Kage back at the pub. We must find that man Gray! He was the one who broke Lullaby's seal!"

"A dispeller huh? A seal-breaking wizard! He can take down the wind barrier!" Gray said.

Erza nodded, "That's what I'm hoping. Now let's start searching."

"Right." Gray said.

The two ran off unaware that Byard was up to something and it wasn't good.

With Lucy and Happy

Lucy sighed, "This is weird, I can't sense him anywhere," closing her eyes to try and find his scent again, Lucy growls frustrated. "It's like he just disappeared into thin air."

"Aye." Happy said, confused to where the guy they were looking for went.

She stopped walking and sighed, "Let's head back to where Erza is. It's obvious we're not gonna find this guy and we should probably regroup anyways."

Happy cried out in terror at the mere mention of abandoning the mission given by Erza.

"Something wrong?" Lucy questioned.

"E-Erza gave you an order…so you have to follow through with its Lucy! Ignoring an order from Erza is never a good idea! She might seriously punish you!" Happy said.

Lucy sighed, "I'm not scared of my mate, Happy. And besides Erza may be strong but she could never touch me, unless I let her".

Happy thought about it then shook his head, "Nope, still won't risk it." She shook her head then walked away from him, "Whatever Happy, let's head back I'm tired of wasting my time." Happy silently followed her.

With Natsu

Said dragon slayer was currently busting through walls of the building shouting out Erigor's name.

"Erigor! Come out come out wherever you are!" he roared smashing through more walls.

Kageyama sweat-dropped, "Geez, hasn't he ever heard of using a door?"

Now that Erigor's made it out safely this kid doesn't pose much of a threat. I could just let him go but what would be the fun in that? Kage thought emerging from his shadow.

Natsu ducked just in time to avoid a shadow punch, "Heh, nice reflexes kid, but that won't do you much good."

"I know you! You're that dude that tried to hurt Luce!" Natsu yelled.

Kage smirked, "Your talking about that blonde right? I was going to go after her instead of you, but I decided to get payback on you first before I go after her."

Natsu felt the air around him suddenly grow hotter and hotter, "Is that so? Then I guess I'll just have to take you out before you can even touch her!"

Kageyama smirked, "Aww? Did I hit a nerve?" he taunted placing his hands on the ground, "Shadow Knuckle!" his shadow emerged from under him forming into fists heading straight for Natsu who blocked it and surprising Kage.

Natsu then started smirking, "So, looks like I get to knock you around now huh? I'm getting all fired up."

Natsu kept dodging all Kageyama shadow knuckles annoying Kage somewhat.

Kage grit his teeth, Alright fairy. He thought putting his hand to the ground, Snake Shadow!" he shaped his shadow into multiple snakes and sent them at Natsu, "You can't run this time! They'll tear you to pieces!"

Natsu punched both fists together, "I've got this!" he grinned, Fire Dragon's Wing Attack!" Natsu sent the attack right at the snakes dispelling them.

"I-impossible! He was able to defeat them with one shot! So much power…I didn't think wizards like this really existed." Kageyama murmured. Natsu's fist caught on fire, "You ready to talk? If not, I've got a fireball with your name on it." he grinned.

Kageyama backed away in fear, "Y-you're a monster!" and with that the fight was over.

"Aw man look what you've made me do," Natsu complained walking out of the giant hole he created, "I was trying not to mess up the whole place this time."

Kageyama moaned in pain against the wall.

"Anyway, I feel better. Sorry I had to take you down Dayarama." Natsu said.

A tick mark formed on his head, "Its Kageyama…"

"Whatever," Natsu said pointing at him, "Tell me where Erigor is or you're gonna get toasted."

Kageyama chuckled, "He's long gone you idiot. He's not even in this station anymore."

"What?" Natsu gasped.

"Natsu! Do not harm him we need him alive!" Erza yelled running towards them.

"Way to go you fire freak." Gray said also running towards them.

"Huh?" Natsu said at first then saw Erza bring out a sword coming right him. He stepped back in fear, "I don't know what I did wrong but I'm sorry!" he squealed.

Erza brought the sword down near Kage's head who yelled in fear. She glared murderously at him, "You will dispel the wind barrier and you will do so without complaint!" she told him.

Kageyama was shaking like a leaf unable to say anything back to her.

Natsu was shaking himself, "Just do it man! This chick a real monster!"

Gray turned to him, "Shut up Natsu!"

"Understood?! She repeated.

"Y-yes ma'am!" he said.

"Good." She said removing the sword away from him. He leaned off the wall and didn't notice the fat man known as Karacka was slowly coming out of the wall. The others didn't notice him either.

Sorry Kage. But it's all for the plan. He thought about to reach his hand out to strike Kage down. Just then the gang heard someone come running towards them at a fast pace. Looking back, they saw it was Lucy and Happy chasing right behind her with a demonic look on her face.

"Found Ya!" Lucy yelled heading towards Natsu and Kage with her fist burning brighter as it neared them.

Natsu blinked, "Luce? What's-" barely dodging his partner and moving Kage out of the way they see she flew right passed him to punch his would-be attacker in the face sending her and the plump dark guild member crashing into the wall taking everyone by surprise.

Gray blinked, "What…the hell…?"

"Natsu!" Happy yelled.

"Happy!" Natsu said seeing his friend fly over to him, "Hey buddy, what's wrong with Lucy?"

"We couldn't find the fat guy, so Lucy wanted to go back to where Erza was, but we didn't see her there and only saw the beat up Eisenwald guys. Then Lucy heard that Byard guy telling the fat guy to kill Kage since he's the only one that can dispel the wind barrier." Happy explained.

"What?!" Natsu cried out in anger.

"So, they were just going to kill him off?!" Gray questioned just as angry as Natsu.

"That's vile!" Erza growled.

Kage just stood there in shock. His own guild mates would rather have him dead than help the Fairy Tail wizards? His own guild mates turned on him just like that?

Happy nodded recalling what happened to Lucy. "Lucy got really angry and ran off to stop that from happening! She started burning up really hot and her eyes turned really dark."

They all looked at the blonde who still had flames surrounding her. Since her back was towards them no one on the team could see the slightly demonic face she was giving off at Karacka who was holding his bruised eye and shaking in fear at the demon in front of him.

Lucy walked towards him slowly like a lion about to devour its prey. Karacka stumbled backwards his back hitting the wall behind him. He could just use his magic, but he was too paralyzed with fear to think straight.

"W-wait! I'm sorry! I didn't want to do it! Byard made me! I swear! Please don't hurt me!" he pleaded.

Lucy didn't care about what he said, all she cared about was making sure he didn't hurt anyone else. Stopping right in front of him so he could look at her face, she cocked back her fist igniting it making Karacka even more terrified now than he was before.

I regret ever joining this guild, the man thought.

"N-no wait please! I'm sorry! Please don't hurt me!" he pleaded again.

"Celestial Demon... she started.

"No! Stop! Please!" he yelled.

"finger flick!" flicking her index finger onto his forehead Lucy knocked the mage into the wall with the amount of force she sent in the flick.

"Crap, I forgot to hold back my strength" Lucy said scratching her head.

No one said a word. How could they? Lucy just knocked someone out with the flick of her finger and to add insult to injury she put enough force into it she knocked the guy out.

Natsu's eyes widened in shock, Happy trembled behind Natsu's leg eyes wide, Gray stood there in total shock with a bead of sweat running down his face, and Erza was simply speechless. Even Kageyama didn't say anything.

Lucy turned to face them, although she was pissed off by the fact that these guys would try to kill one of their own without any hesitation, she wanted to apologize for knocking out someone they could question. "Sorry guys, I kind of went overboard huh?" Lucy says.

"Overboard! Are you kidding me you knocked out that guy with the flick of your finger!" Gray yelled.

Cringing Lucy looks to the fat mage shrugging. "Yeah, but to be fair I didn't use all my strength, on him".

She felt a warm hand on her shoulder and saw it Natsu's grinning face. "Man Luce, you gotta show me how you create those moves, the dragon slayer says trying to mimic her finger flick"

Erza, Gray and Happy can't help but sweat drop at the two slayers obliviousness.

"No problem Natsu, once this is over, I'll teach you how to do that no problem!" Lucy says happily.

"Wow Lucy you have the weirdest moves" happy says jumping into the two friends' conversations.

Gray and Erza looked at the scene with confusion on their faces. Could what she did really be considered a move, both thinks. Man, this girl is a real mystery.

Unfortunately, since Kageyama was still heavily injured he didn't have enough magical energy to dispel the wind barrier. Th four mages and Happy were stuck behind the wind wall unable to leave and hopefully catch up to Erigor.

"Kage!" Erza yelled trying to get the mage to dispel it despite his being so weak.

He smiled, "It's no use. You'll never be able to catch up to Erigor. You can't stop us. We've won."

"I wouldn't be so sure", Lucy says while eating some celestial food.

Seriously, does she ever stop eating, they all thought.

"Huh, what makes you say that?" the shadow mage says.

Smiling the celestial mage/demon slayer shows her key ring jingling it to the others, when no one says anything she rolls her eyes and explains.

"Virgo here, "Hello princess and friends", the maid says after popping up, "Can dig holes. With her help we can get out of here in a no time."

Shoving the blondes head to her armor Erza thanks her for her help. "brilliant Lucy I knew it was a good idea for bringing you."

"No, you didn't" Gray muttered, earning a glare from Erza.

Blushing Lucy looks away, high fiving Happy for impressing Erza, while Virgo went to dig the tunnel letting the others prepare to get to the other side. When the spirit is finished, and they are outside of the wind barrier Erza looks around for her pink haired companion.

Erza looked at Gray, then looked around and noticed something, "Where's Natsu?!"

"Happy and Lucy aren't here either!" Gray said.


Erigor was almost at Clover Town, "I see the town up ahead. A bit further and I'll have my revenge."

"Raaargh!" Natsu yelled.

Erigor turned his head to the side and was shocked to see not only Natsu but Lucy too. She was currently flying with her celestial flames, as support.

"We've got you now! Didn't know Happy could fly at mock speed did ya?!" Natsu questioned.

Lucy smirked, "Judging by his face I'm guessing he didn't!"

Happy let Natsu go and Lucy sped up some more allowing both to kick Erigor out of the sky. Both teens landed safely on the train tracks.

"Celestial flaming kick!"

Natsu grinned, "Fire dragon kick!" mimicking his partners move.

Natsu looked up and saw Happy coming down and reached out to grab him, "You okay?"

Happy looked exhausted, "Yeah but, I'm too tired to fly."

Natsu smiled, "Don't worry buddy. I think I can handle it from – Lucy!"

"Yeah Natsu?" Lucy asked confused from where she was standing atop Erigor.

"Wha-what? How the hell did you beat him so fast?" Natsu whined disappointed he didn't get to fight the wind mage but also impressed at his partner.

"Oh well while you were talking to Happy, I had Scorpio come out and do a sand buster to stop his wind, then I knocked him out with my demon wrath" smiling "I told you my flames are strong."

"Wow Natsu, we were only talking for a few seconds" Happy said in awe of their friends' power," She really is worthy of her wizard saint rank, Happy thought, starry eyed.

"Natsu!" "Lucy"

Both teens looked behind them and saw the same green car that held the rest of their team and a wounded Kageyama.

"Hey! You guys just missed Lucy beat Erigor!" he said.

"So, did you Natsu" Happy pointed out laughing.

"Well, it's not my fault Lucy's impatient!" Natsu says trying to defend himself.

Happy landed on her shoulder, "Aye!"

"I'm proud of you." Erza said getting up slowly from the vehicle. Lucy went by her side immediately and, "Mate, are you alright? You seem a little sick"

Erza sent her a deadpanned look, "Yes. Don't worry about me. Just, uh, good job defeating Erigor."

Lucy nodded then went back to her normal self. "Of course, anything for you!"

Erza looked away blushing from the girl's words.

Kageyama had his mouth wide open, No way! Erigor never loses! He gulped.

"I can't believe you had such a hard time with this guy." Gray taunted.

Natsu glared at him, "I never said that! Lucy just got to him first because Happy distracted me!"

"Not true. You took a break and let Lucy do all the work." Happy said.

"Whatever." Gray crossed his arms, ignoring Natsu and Happy.

Natsu gave him a look, "Yeah alright".

Erza smiled, "Anyway, well done Lucy. Thanks to you all the guild masters are safe."

Lucy grinned happy to satisfy her mate.

Gray nodded.

Natsu gave a thumbs up.

"While we're here we should make sure to stop by the guild masters conference and tell them what happened and ask them how to properly dispose of the Lullaby flute." Erza told them.

"Might as well since we're so close to Clover." Happy said.

"I could just burn it, I mean I am a demon slayer, so my magic is pretty much made for doing this type of stuff" Lucy said.

"You can really do that?" Gray asks, a bit skeptical that ridding such a powerful artifact could be so easy.

"Yup!" Lucy says.

Kageyama grinned noticing none of the mages were paying attention to him.

"Well, uh okay then" Erza says about to grab the flute to hand over when she notices Kage plugged into the car they were in and driving away from them, his shadow grabbing the demonic flute Lullaby.

"Kage!" Erza yelled, mad at herself for not noticing him get out of their sight.

"What do you think you're doing?!" Gray yelled.

"Lullaby's mine now! You shouldn't have let your guard down flies!" he grinned driving off leaving them in his dust. Everyone stood there in shock and disbelief.

"That jerk!" Natsu yelled.

"This is how he pays us back for saving his life?!" Gray growled.

"After him!" Erza ordered.

"Celestial Demon Jet Fire boots and arms" Lucy growled getting everyone's attention. Golden flames erupted from her feet and hands as she soared through the sky heading towards where clover town was.

The remaining mages heading for another magic car.

"I just got to ask, are those moves she shouts out real or does she just make them up as she goes?" Gray asks as he runs.

Happy and Natsu shrug not entirely sure, but happily enjoying the moves she shows them either way.

"Honestly we don't know but made up or not Lucy's pretty strong, so they usually work out in the end" Happy says.

"Yeah, isn't she awesome!" Natsu says, praising his team mate.

Clover Town Conference Building

The team arrived at the conference building shortly after Lucy did. The former waiting for them by a tree eating some celestial food. "You guys made it" Lucy says grinning.

"Yes, we did, now let's go! We need to find Master Makarov and the other guild master!" Erza said relieved that Lucy made it okay.

"What do we do about Erigor?" Gray asked looking to the man Lucy knocked out. Starting to think she may have killed him.

Natsu picked the unconscious man up, "We'll just take him with us come on let's go!"

They nodded and ran off to go find Master Makarov.

"There he is!" Gray yelled pointing to where the short yet powerful man was seated.

"Gramps!" Natsu yelled.

"Master!" Erza yelled.

"Shhh," a fat man wearing lipstick and eye shadow with a necklace pink shirt with wings on them and striped pants shushed them, "We're just about to get to the good part." He then spotted Gray and Natsu, "Well aren't you boys yummy. So adorable."

Gray and Natsu held each other fearfully backing away from the man.

Lucy rubbed her chin, " Who's this interesting character?"

"Master Bob." Erza said, shivering at the Blue Pegasus guild master.

"Erza honey, you have really filled out." He complimented, only to back away when he felt a massive surge of power.

"She's my mate, back off" Lucy growled.

Nodding the blue Pegasus guild master back away quickly while Erza sweat dropped at the blonde's words. "My apologies darling, won't happen again."

Master Makarov sighed, "Well? I can't wait forever young man."

Kageyama hesitated for a while before bringing the flute to his mouth.

"Oh no!" Erza said.

"Can you guys keep it down over there," one man said wearing a hat that had a dog collar on it. He had dark yellow hair wearing a dog collar on his neck, wearing shade glasses, dark blue shirt, and black pants, "We're just about to get to the good part."

"Huh? Who's he?" Lucy asked not recognizing anyone here.

"That's Quatro Cerberus guild Master Goldmine." Erza said, "How do you not know who any of these people are? Have you been living in a cave your whole life?" Confused as to how such a well-known mage would not recognize any of the guild masters.

"Yes. How did you know?" the blonde answered surprised the scarlet mage was able to guess such a thing about herself since not many people knew this fact about her.

"Ack- I-I didn't. It was just a figure of speech. Never mind" Erza coughed, now curious about the girls past.

Makarov frowned, "Well?" he asked again.

Kageyama hesitated to play the flute, I can do this. I just have to play one song. And that will change everything!

Makarov blinked then closed his eyes then looked back at Kageyama, "Nothing is going to change."

Kageyama looked at the old man.

"You cannot change the fact that those who are weak will forever remain weak. Now maybe it's just me, but I don't think that's a bad thing. I mean we humans are weak creatures by nature. Our insecurities are the reason the guilds even exist. And they're why we have friends." He said.

Kageyama just stared at the old man, taking in all he's said.

He smiled, "Don't let that silly flute get in the way."

Kageyama dropped the flute having heard the old man's heart filled words and bowed to the man, "I surrender."

The team ran over to the old man relieved that he was safe and okay.

"Master!" Erza cried out happily.

"You stopped him!" Natsu smiled.

"Nice job gramps!" Gray smirked.

"What! How did you kids end up in clover?" Makarov questioned.

"Master Makarov," Erza brought his head to her breastplate, "Your words touched me so deeply that I was almost moved to tears."

"Ow!" Makarov squeaked.

Gray smirked crossing his arms; "Well it looks like we got here just in time to see Gramps talk his way out of another one."

"Oh no", Lucy said aloud sensing a huge amount of demonic power in the area. The only thing she could see that could provide such power being Lullaby.

"I've grown tired of you cowardly wizards!" the demonic flute Lullaby said.

Everyone looked over and saw the flute's eyes were glowing purple with electricity coming out of it.

"Something came out!" Happy yelled.

"I can no longer hold back! I shall come forth to devour you myself!" the flute Lullaby went into its demonic form which was pretty big. The three eyes on it glowed staring down at the mages, "I shall feast upon your pitiful souls!"

Lucy narrowed her eyes, " Lullaby's demonic form…" slowly releasing a fraction of her full power Lucy stepped forward. "Hehe, too bad for you Lullaby but I was trained to take you down" Lucy said.

"Aye!" Happy said.

"What is that thing?! Erigor never said anything about a monster!" Kageyama yelled.

"We're in a pickle." Bob said.

"It must be a demon from the book of Zeref." Goldmine said.

The rest of the masters that were inside the guildhall ran away when they saw the demon.

"Why did the flute turn into a monster?" Kageyama questioned.

"That's what Lullaby's true form looks like in the flesh. Its forbidden black magic. Living magic. Zeref's specialty." Goldmine said.

"Living magic?" Erza said.

"Zeref? You're talking about the Black Wizard?" Gray questioned.

"He's the evilest wizard the world has ever known. He was very powerful in his day. But in my wildest dreams I never thought his dark legacy would pop back up again." Bob said.

"Now then. Which of these delectable souls should I dine on first?" Lullaby said.

"Delectable huh?" Natsu said then turned to Gray, "Do you think souls are really that tasty?"

"From what Luce told me they taste very bland" Lucy says before jumping into the fray.

A tick mark appeared on Gray's head, "Does she do that a lot? Like just jump into fights without planning"

"Aye, that's our Lucy!" Happy yelled.

"Natsu, and Gray! Get everyone to a safe place!" Erza ordered.

"Quit barking orders!" Natsu complained. "Yeah you're not the boss of us!" Gray said.

She glared at them, "Just do it!"

"Aye Aye!" they said scampering off.

"Celestial Secret Arts: Flaming Demon Wrath!" a golden inferno wrapped around Lullaby making it screech in pain. However, that did not stop it from continuing to try and take everyone down. Seeing where Lucy stood it smacked her from her place on its arm.

The Fiore army tried to charge at the flute when they arrived only to be scared off by a beam that came from its mouth.

"I have no need for those pathetic humans! I prefer the taste of a wizard's soul and I will consume all of yours!" Lullaby declared after the flames finally died down, revealing a partially charred demon.

"Oh yeah?! I'd like to see you try, bring it on big guy!" Natsu yelled.

"Good luck!" the guild masters yelled of words of encouragement.

Lucy sweat-dropped as she slowly picked herself up. Wiping the blood off her face and pushing her arm back into place after dislocating it, she spat on the ground where the guild masters formerly were "So they're just gonna watch and make us do all the work? Wimps".

"You're right about that." Happy agreed.

Lullaby's eyes glowed purple and it started screeching letting everyone know it was about to attack.

Lucy glared at the demonic flute; "I was trained by the strongest demon slayer on all of Earthland" golden flames wrapped itself around Lucy as she swallowed the demon particles that were being released from Lullaby "With his power bestowed upon me I will not allow you to harm anyone under my watch".

Activating her demon force Lucy gained a red tattoo like mark all alongside her right side with a gold aura surrounding her. Flaming eyes glared at the demonic flute. Slowly her wounds started to fade, and her magic power began to rise.

"Oh, my word…" Bob breathed out.

Goldmine's eyes widened, "I've never seen magic like that before."

Makarov was just as surprised but didn't comment on it. He was going to see just what his new child was capable of.

Gray blinked, "Whoa…so this is what she's like full powered."

"Lucy looks a bit scary!" Happy was a bit frightened but also awed at his friends' power.

"I've never seen her use her full power before…and even then, I feel she's still holding back." Erza observed.

Natsu stared at his partner unable to form words. She looked like a true demon. He shook his head, that was still Lucy, his best friend.

Lullaby looked down at the blonde getting an uneasy feeling that chilled it to the bone. This power, this aura surrounding the girl, how is she able to frighten me. Demons aren't supposed to be afraid of anything! Yet this human made it feel…fear

Lucy slammed her hands together creating a bang gaining the demons attention, "Your making me do more work than I wanted to and your gonna pay for that! she said practically teleporting right in front of its face catching it off guard. "No one makes me bleed and survives" she says scaring the demon.

" Ultimate Celestial Dark Arts: Demon Purgatory" spinning she punched the demon in the face with flames so hot that even those on the ground could feel it. Then she struck at it again making it scream out in pain and holding its face with its hands from the burning sensation of her demon flames.

The guild master's eyes widened.

"She-she actually managed to land a hit on it!" "No, she managed to two hits!"

"Who is that girl?!" one of the guild master yelled.

Makarov grinned at his new child proud of her bravery and knew found knowledge of her laziness.

"Holy crap…Lucy's really kicking ass out there!" Natsu yelled, excited at his partners strength.

"No kidding. Remind me to never make her mad." Gray agreed.

Erza got out her twin blades, "Ready? We can't make Lucy do all work!" running out to the battlefield

They nodded, "Oh yeah!" readying there magic and striking in tandem.

They all charged at the demon.

"Requip!" Erza said transforming into her Heaven's Wheel Armor, "The Knight!" she striked its chest.

Gray did an ice-make pose, "Ice-Make: Lance!" he sent multiple lances at the demon hurting it even more.

Natsu punched both fists together, "Now it's my turn!" he said, Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" he punched the demon square in the face.

"They just hit the demon with more fire and Ice!"

"I didn't know ice magic could do that!"

"That girl can requip her armor!"

"You are making me angry!" Lullaby yelled trying to swat them only for them to jump out the way in time. Erza struck its leg tripping it back, while Gray sent numerous ice arrows at it. Lucy meanwhile delivered her strongest Star Demons Wrath at the other leg, and Natsu fired a Fire dragons punch at the demons' body knocking it back several steps.

Kageyama watched them fight in awe, "That's incredible! Their combination attacks are so powerful! And they're in sync!" He couldn't believe how strong just these four wizards were.

"Aye!" Happy smiled.

Lullaby was about to play its song again.

"That's not good! It's about to play its song!" Happy yelled.

Lullaby grinned, "Just one quick note and your souls will be mine!" everyone covered their ears but when Lullaby tried to play its song no sound came out.

"Nothing happened!" Happy cried out in shock.

"I don't understand! Why can't I play my melody of death?!" Lullaby asked in confusion.

"It must be because of all those attacks!" Kageyama said.

"They punched so many holes in that thing it must have messed up its sound!" Happy theorized, "Well flutes are pretty lame to begin with." "You dare mock me?!" Lullaby yelled kicking anything and in his sights. It glared at the guild masters ready to attack them all.

"Ice-Make…" Gray started. A wall fire was blocked off by the ice mage, "Shield!" an ice shield formed around them.

"Oh wow!"

"That boys maker magic is spectacular!"

"I will kill you all!" Lullaby yelled then saw the flames being devoured by Natsu and Lucy.

"Those were delicious!" Lucy yelled.

"Oh yeah?! Now I've got a fire in my belly!" Natsu grinned.

"You're not human! You're a monster!" Lullaby accused sending a punch their way. Natsu jumped in the air then ran up its arm while Lucy did a backflip to avoid getting injured again.

"Stop climbing me!" it yelled. Natsu jumped in the air again then Erza came up right behind him, "Requip!" she changed into her Black Wing Armor.

"Ice-Make: Saucer!" Gray created an ice saucer and sent it at the demon hitting it side.

Erza sliced its right cheek, while Lucy sent more flames at its left one causing the demon to screech in more pain.

"Natsu!" Erza yelled. "Now!" Gray yelled.

"Give it the finishing punch!" Lucy yelled.

Natsu punched both fists together, "I've got this!" he said. Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame! he sent the giant flame at Lullaby eradicating it from existence and it became a normal flute signaling the end of the battle.

"Well done." Makarov complemented.

"Your amazing!" Bob said.

Goldmine smirked, "You kids made defeating Zeref's demon look easy."

Kageyama was in awe, "I can't believe how strong they are!"


The smoke cleared and revealed Erza in the middle, Gray to her right who had his arms crossed, Natsu to her left holding his scarf with one hand, and Lucy sitting down next to the pink haired fire mage.

"Wow…are all of the Fairy Tail wizards as powerful as these four?" Kageyama questioned.

"Aye! There's no doubt about it! This is the strongest team!" Happy declared.

"We're an awesome guild, aren't we?" Makarov bragged.

"Great work out there you guys!" Happy said.

"Thanks, but it wasn't a big deal." Natsu grinned.

"Yeah piece of cake." Gray smirked.

They all laughed at their victory over the curse object Lullaby. Kageyama watched them from afar, "They may be a bunch of fools, but they're stronger than I am." He said wholeheartedly with a smile on his face. Bob laid a hand on his shoulder, "Young man, we've gotta get you to a doctor you precious thing." He said rubbing his cheek against Kage's. "I can feel your stubble." Kageyama said.

Goldmine crossed his arms, "I can't exactly say I understand what just happened, but it's obvious we owe a big round of thanks to the Fairy Tail guild."

"We do?"

"Even so, I must say…"

Erza turned and saw the building, "Gugh!"

Natsu and Gray turned around to look and saw they blew up the whole damn building!

"They went overboard!" all the guild masters yelled.

Makarov started shaking.

Lucy sighed at the racket everyone was making "Man what a drag, I just wanted to hang with my mate." Putting her hands behind her head she started walking off so as not get pinned the blame on. She knew much of the damage was caused by her fighting Lullaby but still, walking slowly she edged her way away from the site, giving her team plenty of time to catch up to her.

"The conference halls destroyed!" Happy yelled.

Natsu laughed, "We really made a mess of the place didn't huh?"

Erza bowed, "Please forgive us Master!"

Gray simply crossed his arms and looked away, until he saw the Fiore army headed their way. "Ahh, come on guys we gotta go!"

Happy nodded, "We should hurry up and get home then!"

"I agree. Let's all head home!" Erza said, looking around she failed to see Lucy. "Wait where's Lucy everyone?"

Gray frowned, "What the hell, did she leave without us!"

"Hahaha, yeah, but don't worry I know exactly where she went. Follow me guys" Natsu yelled smiling at the scent he was following.

Master Makarov nodded, "Alright then, Let's get going kids!"

And with that the members of Fairy Tail ran away from the conference building heading towards the member of team Natsu that abandoned them.


I thought that maybe the last chapter was a bit too long and wanted to split it up into two chapters. I appreciate comments.
