Chapter 4: Fairy Tail's Strongest Team
-Fairy Tail Guild-
One of the newest members of Fairy Tail, Lucy, was looking through the job requests. There was a variety to choose from, from searching for a lost item to exterminating a demon.
"See anything good?" Pyrus said as he and his sister walked up to the request board.
"There are so many types of jobs to choose from, it's kinda hard to choose," Lucy stated.
"How about that one?" Rayna said pointing to one of the jobs.
"I'm not going to go and kill a demon!" Lucy shouted, seeing that Rayna had pointed to a job that involved killing a devil near a volcano. "I'll die!"
Pyrus was cleaning his ear out with his pinky while Rayna covered her ears. "Geez…a simple 'no' would have been fine too you know," Pyrus said. Due being a Dragon Slayer, his senses of hearing is lot stronger than normal human.
"Oh…sorry about that," Lucy said as she laughed a bit nervously.
"Well, if either of you find a job that interests you, just let me know," Mirajane said from behind the bar counter. "Since master's not here right now."
"Huh?" Lucy questioned, now noticing that Makarov was not at his usually seat on the bar counter. "Oh yeah, you're right."
"Where'd the old man go off to?" Pyrus asked.
"He has to attend the regular meeting," Mirajane informed them. "so he'll be out for a short while." She said.
"Regular meeting?" Lucy questioned.
"What's that all about?" Rayna also questioned tilted her head.
"It's a meeting where masters from different provinces come to report about their guilds," Mirajane explained. "It different from the council meeting, but…um…I guess it can be a bit confusing." Mirajane then borrowed an item called a light pen from another guild member called Reedus. With it, she drew in the air the magic council organizational chart, with the main Magic Council on top, Province Guild Master Leagues in the middle, and the individual Guilds at the bottom of it. "Connections between guilds are important," Mirajane said as she put her hands together, spreading her fingers out and only having the tips of them touching. "If you neglect these…" Lucy and Rayna were confused since Mirajane did not finish her sentence.
"People from the darkness will come to get youuuu," Natsu said in a creepy voice with his hand on fire, causing Lucy and Rayna to get really scared and for Pyrus to laugh a bit at Natsu scaring Lucy and his sister. They then got into a small argument about Natsu scaring Lucy.
"But these people from the darkness really do exist," Mirajane said. "We call whatever guild that doesn't belong to the league a 'Dark Guild.'"
"They don't follow the law, so they're scary," Natsu said with his hands behind his head. Happy said aye in agreement as Lucy made a comment on how Natsu will be recruited by them one day.
"Either way, why don't one of you choose a job already?" Natsu asked.
"We chose one without consulting you guys last time," Happy said, flying next to Natsu, "so now it's one of your guys turn to pick."
"I did choose one, but Lucy shot it down right away," Rayna said as her brother nodded.
"Don't joke around!" Lucy said, turning her back to them. "We're splitting up." The Four questioned why she would suggest that. "You wouldn't mind taking in just about any blond girl would you!?" Natsu questioned it at first, and then agreed with her.
"Though, we chose Lucy to be in a team because you're a nice person," Natsu said with a smile.
"But what about us?" Tommy and Alice asked suddenly coming out from nowhere.
"We brought you along because we knew you would be a strong ally!" Happy said to them.
"You guys don't have to force yourself to team up with anyone," Gray said from his seat, smoking a cigarette. "I heard that you two did an excellent job last time. I bet you'll get plenty of recruitment offers." After Gray said this, Loke offered Lucy to make a team with him, only for Lucy to reject it. "You defeated two people from the mercenary guild Southern Wolves and that gorilla-like woman, right? You're really amazing." Gray complimented her.
"That was Natsu and Pyrus," Lucy corrected him.
"It was you bastard!?" Gray asked angrily, grabbing Natsu by his scarf and pulling him face to face with himself.
"Got a problem with it!?" Natsu asked back, just as angry as Gray.
"What do those two have against each other? He doesn't even seem to mind that I did that too," Pyrus commented.
"How am I supposed to know?" Lucy shrugged.
"I think they're just hate each other, Big bro" Rayna replied while little sweat dropping.
Natsu and Gray then got in a small agreement that started after Mirajane pointed out that Gray had taken off his clothes again. While they were fighting, Loke tried to get Lucy to form a team with him again. But when he noticed the Celestial Spirit keys, he immediately got very nervous and changed his mind and ran away from Lucy. But he soon came back and said, "Oh crap, Natsu! Gray!" The two stopped fighting, although still holding each other and about to hit the other person, and looked toward Loke. "Erza is back!" After Loke said this, Natsu and Gray started to freak out a bit, looking almost scared out of their minds.
Everyone turned their attention to the person that had just entered the guild hall. The person is a young woman who has long, scarlet hair and brown eyes. Her clothing consisted of an armor top, long sleeve dress shirt, and blue skirt and boots. On her shoulder she is carrying a massive horn that is decorated. This is Erza Scarlet.
"I'm back," Erza said as she placed the horn down onto the floor. "Is master present at the moment?"
"Master's attending the regular meeting," Mirajane informed her.
"E-Erza…what is that humongous thing?" a random guild member asked.
"This?" Erza questioned. "The local townspeople decorated the horn of the demon I subdued. It was pretty so I brought it back as a souvenir. Will it be a nuisance?"
"N-No not at all!" the guild member answered.
"Anyway, guys," Erza started to say. "I've heard you been causing trouble again. Even if Master forgives you, I won't."
"Brother, Did you feel that" Rayna said as Pyrus nodded. "Her magical powers are stronger than the others currently on this guild" Pyrus stated.
"W-Who is she?" Lucy asked a bit nervously.
"Erza," Happy answered. "She's really strong." He added.
"How strong is she?" Tommy questioned.
"She able to split a mountain into two with a single kick!" Happy replied casually.
"Wow...Cool!" Tommy and Alice said in awe.
Erza then started to go through several of the guild members, criticizing them on what they were doing wrong. "By the way, are Natsu and Gray here?" Erza asked after she was done with her short rant. Happy motioned to the two, and instead of fighting, the two were acting like they were great friends.
"Um... Why is Natsu and Gray act like that. Weren't they fighting few seconds ago?" Rayna asked while points at them.
Mirajane explained the reason why Natsu and Gray were so scared of Erza, saying that she beat them up. Natsu after picking a fight with her and Gray for walking around naked.
"I'm happy to see that both of you are doing great," Erza said. "I actually have a favor to ask both of you. I heard something troubling at work. Usually I would consult Master about this, but I regard this matter urgent, so I need your help. You'll come with me right?" This question not only took Natsu and Gray off guard, but the entire guild was struck into silence. Until everyone heard a little whistle.
"Wow, this thing is gigantic. I've faced my fair share of giant monsters, and the guy this must have come off from an Dread Horned demon. I thought they're extinct about four years ago" Pyrus commented, the whistle coming from him. He is currently standing near the decorated demon horn.
Erza turned her attention to Pyrus as she asked, "Yes thats right, and who would you be? how do know the name of that Demon?."
"I am the one who will become the last hope, the envoy from stars...Pyrus Astoria!" Pyrus said with his signature pose, turning to her. "I'm kinda new to Fairy Tail." Unlike everyone else that talked to Erza, Pyrus was addressing her like he would anyone else.
"What a awesome Introduction!" Erza thought in shock. But then regain her composure "You said you've also faced giant monsters, what kind?" Erza asked with small smirk on her face.
"Let's see…," Pyrus said, "a Cerberus, a kraken, a nine headed Hydra, a giant troll queen..."
"What?!" Natsu shouted.
"a phoenix, a golem, and so many other things," Pyrus said while put his hand on back of his head.
"And don't forget about giant serpent of water" Rayna added.
"Oh yeah that too... And I also known as the Blue Storm.." Pyrus continued.
"WHAAAAAAT!... " The guild's members shouted in surprise.
"What's the deal about the Blue Storm anyway?" Lucy asked to herself.
"He's a mage that appear about one year ago. Many towns and villages he had been saved that making some of the quest in the guild was cancelled, His name is unknown though, but...the people said he have Blue hair and using azure blue coloured wind magic" Mirajabe explained to her. Lucy the remembering what color of wind did the boy use during Everlue mission was a transparent blue wind.
"Hm…" Erza said as she held her chin, in deep thought. Then saying, "Okay, I've made my decision." This caught the attention of everyone in the guild hall. "If what you say is true, then you too must be very strong. You shall join Natsu, Gray, and myself for this job. Understood?
"Sorry, but I'll have to pass," Pyrus said. This caused everyone in the guild to freak out a bit, jumping back in fear.
"Oh? And why would that be?" Erza asked.
"It just doesn't interest me really," Pyrus answered, still completely calm.
"Umm... Big brother, I think.. " Rayna said feeling scared but before she finished. Natsu then came up from behind Pyrus and clapped him around his shoulder. "Pyrus doesn't know what he's saying, of course he'll join us, right Gray?" Natsu said, although somewhat nervously.
"Yeah," Gray said, just as nervous as Natsu, taking Pyrus's other side and clapping his other shoulder. "If you want him to go he'll go."
"Don't I get a say in this?... I said I don't want to come." Pyrus asked.
"That's good to hear, I'll meet you three tomorrow at the train station," Erza said, ignoring what Pyrus had said. "I'll tell you about the details on the way." She then started to walk off.
"Erza…Natsu…Gray…and even Pyrus?" Mirajane said. "I never imagined this, but it may very well be the strongest team in Fairy Tail." This comment surprised Lucy, as Mirajane was even shaking a bit.
"You think so? " Rayna replied as thinking about what her brother will do. She know the he can take care of himself, but due him always holding back a lot of his power, She couldn't help to worry about him.
-The Next Day: Magnolia Train Station-
"I-Impossible," Gray said. "It's annoying enough to be with him, and now I'll have to be around Erza too!?" Gray shouted as he pointed at Natsu.
"This team is impossible!" Natsu shouted, pointing back at Gray. "Besides, I didn't want to go!" Natsu then saw Lucy and put his vest and scarf on her. "You're Natsu from now on."
"Not possible," Lucy said.
"Aye," Happy said in agreement while Tommy chuckled.
Pyrus was also there, standing against one of the pillars. "I was just planning on skipping out. But since you guys dragged me here against my will, guess I might as well join you now." Pyrus said annoyingly.
As he wants to prepare breakfast for him and his sister along with their cats in his home earlier. Natsu and Gray come to his house and dragging him and Tommy to the train station while leaving Rayna and Alice alone in the house. Good thing that he already tell her to stay at the guild and don't do any jobs while he was away.
"Still don't see why she wanted me to come though, Natsu and Gray should have been enough." Pyrus said with his arm crossed. "Maybe, but why does that monster Erza need our help?" Natsu asked.
"How would I know?" Gray asked. "Besides, if she does need 'help,' I alone would be sufficient."
"Then why don't you go by yourself?!" Natsu asked, starting to fight with Gray. "I don't want to go!"
"Fine, then don't go!" Gray shouted back. "Get yourself killed by Erza afterwards!"
"Can I go then?" Pyrus asked as rise his hand. "NO!" Both Natsu and Gray yelled, looking at Pyrus, taking a brief pause from their fight then immediately continuing.
"You two are just causing trouble, so just shut up!" Lucy yelled. "Geez! Why can't you get along with each other?"
Natsu and Gray stopped fighting and looked towards Lucy. Natsu then asked, "Why are you here anyways?"
"Mira asked me to!" Lucy shouted. "I'm only coming because Mira asked me to."
"But you really wanted to come along, didn't you?" Happy asked.
"Yeah, because you will be lonely without them around" Tommy added.
"No way!" Lucy yelled in response. She then realized something as she asked, "Wait, if they needed someone as a mediator, why not you guys or Pyrus?" She then realized something else and said, "Oh…pity on you. Mira forgot about your existence and that Pyrus was going with them." She said to Happy. "Aye," Happy responded.
Natsu and Gray then got into a small, pointless agreement. Lucy then thought of something and said, "Erza, this way!"
After hearing this, Natsu and Gray's attitudes did a 180. They threw their arm around the others shoulder. "Let's be nice to each other!" Gray shouted.
"Aye, aye sir!" Natsu agreed.
"This is too funny!" Lucy shouted as she and Pyrus started to laugh a lot.
"You tricked us!" Natsu and Gray shouted at Lucy.
"Maybe you guys really do along after all," Lucy said, still giggling a bit and Tommy holding his mouth form laughter.
"Trick or not, it was still really funny," Pyrus said, trying to get his laughter under control.
"Aye/Roger," Happy and Tommy agreed.
Soon after Erza arrived. "Sorry," she said, "did I make you wait?" Behind her, she was dragging a cart and it was full of luggage. The suitcases actually had to be tied down because of how many there were.
"Too much luggage!" Lucy shouted in response to seeing it.
"What kind of person brings that much stuff on a mission?" Pyrus asked while Tommy looked at him blankly "Oh..that was me" he laughed awkwardly while rubbing the back of his head. Remembering he bring many things inside his pocket dimension.
Erza then took notice of Lucy after she yelled her comment. She then asked, "You were in Fairy Tail yesterday, right?"
"I'm a new member, Lucy," Lucy said as she bowed a bit. "Mira asked me to tag along. I'll try to be useful."
"I'm Erza, nice to meet you," Erza said, returning the greeting. "I see…so you're the girl that the people of the guild were talking about. I heard you defeated a mercenary and gorilla, you're very promising."
"That was Natsu and Pyrus," Lucy said, deflating a bit. "And those facts are slightly Rayna the one who defeat the gorilla."
"Who's Rayna?" Erza asked. "Umm... Pyrus's younger sister" Lucy answered.
"Hmm...This mission might be a bit risky," Erza informed Lucy, "but seeing how well you did on the last job, I think you'll be okay." This bit of information surprised Lucy a lot, she even shouted in fright.
"I don't know what our task is this time, but I'll go with you," Natsu said. "under one condition."
"Condition?" Erza questioned.
"I-Idiot!" Gray shouted at Natsu, then turning to Erza and saying, "I…I would work for free if it were for you Erza."
Erza was looking right into Natsu's eyes, who was looking right back at her, as she said, "Say it."
"Even though I want to fight you Erza," Natsu said as he then turned to Pyrus, grinning a bit, "I wanna fight Pyrus first." This caught everyone's attention, also surprising them and Pyrus spitting the healing potion for his motion sickness.
"Fight me?" Pyrus asked while cleaning his mouth. "Why would you wanna do that?"
"Because You're a Dragon Slayer just like me, and you decline my challenge before," Natsu said, still grinning. "And you helped me take down those guys on our mission. And you've said you've taken down some really strong monsters. I wanna see how strong you are for myself."
"Well Pyrus," Erza said, "what is your answer?"
Pyrus smiled as he stood up straight and went up to Natsu, holding his hand up to him, "You got yourself a deal, Natsu."
Natsu's grin grew wider as he took Pyrus's hand in his, then saying, "We'll fight when we're done with this job."
Erza smiled as she said, "You've really grown up Natsu."
Natsu then let go of Pyrus's hand and roared, putting his head on fire again as he yelled, "I'm in! Let's do this!" But when they got onto the train Natsu immediately succumbed to his motion sickness.
"You're so hopeless Natsu," Gray said from his spot next to Natsu. "Go sit somewhere else if you're going to be annoying. Even better, don't ride the train, just run."
"I just hope he doesn't throw up on me," Pyrus said from the other side of Natsu.
Erza sighed as she then said, "There's no other way, come sit next to me." As she said this she patted the spot next to her. Lucy moved out of the way to make room for Natsu. After Natsu sat down, Erza quickly punched him in his stomach, effectively knocking him out. "That should ease him a little."
"That…That looked like it hurt…a lot," Pyrus said, holding his own stomach. "Good thing I drink that potion, otherwise I will end up like Natsu there" Pyrus thought.
"Now that I think about it," Lucy said, "I've never seen any other magic than Natsu or Pyrus's in Fairy Tail. What kind of magic do you use Erza?"
"Erza's magic is beautiful," Happy said. "Plenty of blood comes out in the end. Her opponent's blood."
"How is that beautiful?" Lucy questioned.
"Yeah," Pyrus and Tommy agreed. "I don't really see how making someone bleed is beautiful."
"It's nothing special," Erza commented. "I think Gray's magic is more beautiful."
"It is?" Gray questioned. He then laid one hand flat, parallel to the ground, and put his other hand into a fist and put it onto his palm. The six conscious members of Fairy Tail felt a cold breeze pass by them. When he lifted his hand back up, an ice version of the Fairy Tail emblem was in his hand. Lucy and Tommy were really amazed by this as Gray explained it was Ice Magic.
Lucy then came to a sudden realization. "Ice." she said as she pointed to Gray. She then pointed at Natsu, saying "Fire! No wonder you two don't get along."
"As crazy as that sounds, it actually makes some sense, but aren't wind and fire also crushing each other" Pyrus said.
"Is that so, so you're the wind dragon slayer then? I heard about you from the guild and I think it was a right choice to pick you up for this mission" Erza questioned as Pyrus nodded.
"Who cares about that?" Gray asked as he turned away from them. "Anyway, let's get ready Erza. What's going on? You asking for help doesn't happen that often."
"Yeah, let me explain," Erza said. "I was on my way back from work when I stopped a bar in Onibas, where mages gather. Some folks there caught my attention."
-Flashback-
"Where's my booze?!" yelled one of the bar patrons, catching everyone's attention. It was man with a square-shaped face and dark hair, which is arranged on the front in a flat tuft going upwards. On his face are distinctive whiskers-like things, with each cheek bearing three of them. He dons simple attire consisting of a zipped, brownish jacket with a large collar over a dark shirt, dark pants and simple shoes. "Why are you so slow?!"
"Byard, don't get so angry," said one of man's friends, a tanned man with a pointed nose and a sharp chin and has dark lines circling his eyes. He is wearing a distinctive jacket, light in the low part and dark in the upper one and on the sleeves, which comes equipped with a tight hood covered in black and light stripes, and simple pants and shoes.
"Rayule, I cannot be irritated by this!" Byard yelled, using magic to transfer the beer from the mug the waitress was holding to the mug he was holding. "We finally found the hidden Lullaby, but it was all sealed up! How'd they do that?! We can't break the seal at all!"
"Idiot!" yelled the other man. "You're too loud."
"Yep," said another one of Byard's companions, a short, hunched and fat man with strange features, like he doesn't seem to have a visible nose, and possesses very large lips, with his face on the whole resembling that of a fish. His hair is green and points upwards in many rounded curved spikes. His attire consists of a crimson jacket with lighter edges and a high collar, held closed right under it but otherwise being left open, over a light shirt, which, being quite short reveals much of his stomach, and loose, military-spotted pants that was held up by a simple belt and tucked inside boots. He also has a massive necklace around his neck, consisting of several, very large metal discs connected by a rope "Noisy."
"Shit!" Byard yelled, realizing how loud he is being.
"It's not like we can break the seal, even with more people. I'll take care of the rest, so you guys go on and head back to the guild," said the last member of the group, a man of average height with black hair that looks like a pineapple's top. He was wearing a white jacket with green edges and light pants some simple shoes. "Please let Erigor know I will definitely come back with the Lullaby in three days."
"Good job Kageyama!"
-Flashback end-
"Lullaby?" Gray asked.
"The Lullaby, is that some sort of magic that can but people to sleep?" Lucy questioned.
"Sure sounds like it" Pyrus said.
"I don't know, but since it's sealed it probably contains some powerful magic," Erza said.
"I don't get it, so you came across some folks who wanted to break the seal of some unknown magic," said Gray. "Maybe that's all it was, their job. Nothing special."
"Yeah, that's what I told myself too and didn't give it anymore thought," Erza said, now gaining a very serious expression. "Until I remembered the name Erigor. The ace of the mage guild Eisenwald, Grim Reaper Erigor."
"Grim reaper!?" Lucy shouted in surprise.
"What's the deal with the Grim reaper title?" Tommy asked.
"It's a nickname people gave him because he kept taking up assassination requests," Erza informed them. "The Council prohibits mages from taking assassination requests, but Eisenwald chose money. So then, six years ago, the guild was ousted from the mage guild league and is now categorized as a Dark Guild." As she finished saying this, the group started to get off of the train and entered a train station.
"Dark Guild!?" Lucy shouted in fright.
Pyrus then gained a very serious expression. "You could have mentioned that early."
"Is that a problem?" Erza asked.
"No, but it would have been nice to know what we're going up against," Pyrus responded.
"I didn't have enough time to explain the situation yesterday," Erza said. "I thought it would be best to explain on the way."
Pyrus sighed, and then said, "I guess that's fine, not like that hasn't happened to me before anyways."
"Wait, you said they were ousted, but didn't they get punished?" Lucy asked.
"They were. Eisenwald's master was arrested and the guild was ordered to disband themselves," Erza informed them. "Though most of the Dark Guilds keep functioning regardless and ignore the order."
Lucy then tried to leave and go back to Magnolia, but the train was already leaving. Erza then said, "It was a blunder on my part, if only I remembered the name Erigor back then at the bar. I would have put them all in a blood offering." This comment really sacred Lucy, especially the way she said it.
"Right, if it were just the guys at the scene, you probably could handle them all by yourself Erza," Gray said. "But when it's the entire guild…"
"Gray has a point there," Pyrus said. "Facing so many strong people at once is just asking for it."
"They got hold of this magic called Lullaby and are plotting something. I judged we cannot over look this matter," Erza said. "We'll match into Eisenwald."
"Sounds interesting," Gray said with a smirk.
Pyrus smirked as well, saying, "I'm always one for an attacking the enemy head on." Lucy then said that she regretted coming along.
"And do you know where Eisenwald is?" Gray asked.
"We came to this town to find out about that," Erza answered.
"Sounds like a good place to start," Pyrus commented.
Lucy then stopped and looked around a bit, realizing something. Then yelling, "Natsu's not here!" Everyone looked at her nervously.
"…How in the world did we not notice that until now?" Pyrus questioned.
-Later-
"I was too focused on talking and left Natsu on the train! He's no good at dealing with transportation either!" Erza yelled, turning away from the others. "It's all my fault! Hit me will you!?"
"There, there, calm down," Lucy said, trying to get Erza to calm down.
"Well, if that's what you want," Pyrus said begin to cracking his knuckle.
"You're not helping, Pyrus!" Lucy said.
"So that's what's going on!" Erza said to a train conductor. "I'll stop the train!"
"Wh-What's going on?" the conductor asked, confused to what Erza was trying to explain.
"People in Fairy Tail are very similar, aren't they?" Lucy asked.
"Hey! I'm normal," Gray said, Lucy then questioning how a guy that removes his own clothing is normal.
"Please don't categorize me with them, I'm just as new to Fairy Tail as you are," Pyrus said.
"Maybe, but you say some crazy things sometimes," Lucy said.
"Hey, what about me?" Tommy asked but been ignored.
"It's for the sake of our comrade," Erza explained to the conductor. "Please understand."
"Stop talking nonsense!" The conductor yelled at Ezra. "We can't stop the train for just one person who didn't manage to get off!"
Erza then noticed a lever behind the conductor that was labeled "Emergence Stop Signal." "Happy," Erza said, signaling Happy to pull the lever.
"Aye sir!" Happy yelled as he flew to the lever and pulled it downwards. This caused some bells to go off and for lights that are beside the track to light up.
"Let's go after Natsu!" Erza said, then turning to some random people and asking them to take her luggage to a hotel called "Hotel Chili," confusing the people a lot.
"It's…become such a mess…" Lucy complained.
"Indeed," Gray agreed. Only for Lucy to point out that he has taken off his clothes.
The group then rented a four wheeled vehicle that was powered by the driver's magic energy. With this mode of transportation, the group started to chase after the train by following the tracks.
-With Natsu-
"You're from Fairy Tails, an official guild? How I envy you!" For Kageyama, he'd managed to successfully retrieve the flute Lullaby and managed to reach the train on time before it left. But on the train, he spot mages from Fairy Tails. All he could do was watch them from a safe distance until the trains stop, allowing them to get off—saved for a motion-sick Natsu Dragneel.
"I heard a lot stories about Fairy Tails," said Kageyama while smiling. "That babe Mirajane was famous, huh? She appears in magazines every now and again. She's very beautiful…I wonder why she retired since she still very young."
Natsu didn't reply as he was too weak to speak.
"That blonde I saw in your group... I don't think I know her" Kageyama continue. "She must be a new member for your Guild, yet she looks very cute from my point of view."
Again Natsu didn't say anything.
"Although I 'm sure other Guilds had cute girls," Kageyama carries on. 'You guys take the crown!"
When Natsu continues to ignore him, Kageyama raise his foot and kick Natsu's face as he says "But to be very honest, it makes me sick that we Dark Guilds get discriminated by jerks like you, especially Fairy Tail flies!"
Natsu finally awakes with Kageyama calling Fairy Tail flies.
"What did you just say?" Natsu angrily asked in a weakened tone.
"So you finally answer huh?" Kageyama mocked Natsu. "I'm saying is that you Fairy Tail jerks are nothing but selfish upstarts just hey public attention while we Dark Guilds had suffered. To me and my friends, we called you Fairy Tails mages flies that needs to be swat
Kageyama mockingly laughs at Natsu, Natsu started stands up and tries to use his Magic but fails since the train is still moving.
Kageyama laughs at Natsu and attacks using his Shadow Magic to conduct a spell called Knuckle Shadow to hit Natsu on the face. As he continues to laugh it was without warning the train suddenly stop.
Kageyama's bag falls to the floor sending all the contents flying everywhere, one of which is a flute with a skull that has three eyes, which Natsu takes notice of.
"So you saw it, didn't you?" Kageyama said, now looking serious and edgy.
"Don't give me that!" Natsu said, now fired up now that the train stops. "That was a heck of a job you just did on me!"
"Huh?" Kageyama reacted with confusion.
"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"
Natsu suddenly attacked without warning, striking Kageyama so hard it send shim flying across the room of the train.
"If you looked down on me and my Guild members as Flies," Natsu counters with strong words. "Then that is my Fly punch!"
Suddenly, the conductor announces that the emergency brake was based on a false report and that the train will depart shortly. Hearing the conductor's announcement, Natsu begin to panic as the last he wanted was to suffer anymore vehicle sickness.
"You bastard!" Kageyama snarled at Natsu while rubbing his bruise face. "You're going pay for picking a fight with the Eisenwald!"
"Don't think you're off the hook!" Natsu warned Kageyama as gets ready to jump out of the train through the window. "I going to remembered your when the next time we meet!"
As Natsu jumps out of the train window and sees Erza, Lucy and Gray riding a Magic Four Wheel Drive. Pyrus was flying in the air, above them.
As he jumps, Natsu accidentally collide against Gray, their foreheads crashing into each other, forcing them to fall into the ground.
"Watch where you going you idiotic flamebrain!" Gray yells at Natsu, while rubbing his bruise forehead.
"I'm suffering from the amnesia of shock!" Natsu replied, pretending he didn't care. "Who the heck are you?"
"Hey Natsu, are you ok!" Pyrus asked as he landed on the ground near. "Erza completely forgot about you!"
"I'm sorry Natsu!" Erza apologizes, hugging him. "I didn't mean to leave you behind on that train!"
"Well you should be!" Natsu angrily reacted. "You know how I feel about moving vehicles! That creep who can control the shadows and carrying a skull capped flute attacked me while I was in that weaken state!"
The moment Natsu said that it causes both Erza, Pyrus, Lucy and Gray to be dumbstruck with shock, as the very mention of the words creep who can control shadows from mad them realizes what he was talking about.
"You absolute fool!" Erza angrily yelled as she slaps Natsu very hard on the face.
"Ow!" Natsu wined, rubbing the side of his face. "What was that for?"
"That man that you encounter in the train was Kageyama, a member of the Eisenwald the Dark Guild," Erza snapped at Natsu. "He's one of the guy we been chasing after…and thank to your stupidity you let him get away."
-Kunugi Station-
Meanwhile at Kunugi Station, Eisenwald is taking over the station. Leading the Dark Guild was Erigor, the infamously known Grim Reaper.
Erigor is an extremely tall, lean-built and yet mildly muscular man with silver hair and dark eyes. His outfit of clothing seems to reflect a Shinigami and he was carrying a giant scythe as his signature weapon.
Behind Erigor were other top members of the Eisenwald. The first one was Rayule. The second one was Byard, Another known face was Karacka, a short, hunched and fat man with strange features: he doesn't seem to have a visible nose, and possesses very large lips, with his face on the whole resembling that of a fish.
"Here it is boss," said Kageyama. "The Lullaby flute as I promised."
"Excellent work Kageyama," Erigor thanked Kageyama. "Who would had guess that wew would get our hands on an object of forbidden magic, don't you agreed boys?"
"Yeah!" all the Eisenwald members shouted in agreement.
"I knew Kage wouldn't let us down!" said Byard.
"With the flute in our hands that means our plans are complete!" said Rayule
"We may have a problem," said Kageyama, who looked nervous. " Some Fairy Tail Mages maybe be on to our plans. On the train i encountered some Fairy Tail Mage"
"Fairy Tails?" Erigor says, not lookign happy. "Did you be any chance made them suspicious enough is to give them a reason to noisy in out plans?"
Before Kageyama could answer, Erigor used his giant scythe from his back, augment by his Wind Magic, to send two rapid strikes he removed two very small sections of Kageyama's ears who growled in pain as a trickle of blood ran from each small wound.
"The last thing we need is files messing up our plans" snarled the Death God "The plan will go ahead and we'll have a surprise for them waiting at the next station, let's go and get this done"
All the member of the Eisenwald cheer in confidence, thinking nothing could stand in their way
-With Team Natsu-
The team races towards the town of Oshibana with Erza pushing the magic four-wheeler at top speed. Natsu was groaning once again from the motion sickness, although Pyrus was flying in the air, keep up with Erza's fast driving.
"Natsu mention that Kageyama was carrying a skull capped flute," said Lucy. "I think Kageyama has the Lullaby."
"Lullaby?" Natsu repeated holding his mouth a. "What's that?"
"Lullaby is one of Zeref's evil creations from the Books of Zeref, a Living Magic spell," she explained. "The flute was once just a tool for "murder by curse" at first, which means that it curses the target and causes them to die."
"You mean to tell me that Eisenwald has in their possession a flute capable of putting a death curse on everyone who hears its melody?" Gray retorted.
"That's not good," said Pyrus, looking worry. "My dad often told me how powerful and dangerous a wizard like Zeref is and how dangerous his items that he left behind across the world."
"Which we need to hurry before those villains had the chance to use the flute!" Erza said as she increases the speed of the vehicle.
Racing towards Oshibana, the town that they were sure to be Eisenwald's next stop, they arrived at the Railway Station of Oshibana Town. Erza slammed on the brakes of the magical vehicle which skidded to a stop outside the station, Pyrus landing on the ground, Gray slid from the roof as Lucy and Natsu, who was slowly shaking off the remnants of motion sickness, exist the rear.
The station was in terrible ruins with over dozens of Rune Knights, the Council police force, were brutally beaten and unconscious on it's steps. The team rushed into the station with Pyrus and Erza taking the lead, as they navigation the vast train station they soon came to it's inner most part where the entire Eisenwald Guild was waiting for them.
"Well isn't this a lovely surprise, Fairies that seem to of lost their way" mocked Erigor having noticed the Fairy Tail Mages arrive.
"What do you plan to do with Lullaby?"Erza demanded as she kept a careful watch on the other dark guild members.
"I'm planning on playing the song of Lullaby through this stations PA system," Erigor laughed. "I'm going to destroy this wretched town for those that reside have lost their rights to continue living."
"We will stop you, that song will never be heard by anyone" snarled Natsu.
Erigor laughed once again "You can try little Fairies but you will lose," Erigor sneered. "Eisenwald destroy them, wipe them from existence"
After giving out an order, Erigor activated his Wind Magic and flew out a nearby open window escaping.
"Die Fly," Kageyama screamed as he launch a Shadow Attack towards Lucy. However Natsu now having full recovered from the effect of motion sickness recognized Kageyama's voice from the train, the Fire Dragon Slayer moved at speed as she stood in front of Lucy and batted the shadow's away with fire encased fist's.
"Natsu! Gray! We need to put a stop to Erigor's plans now!" Erza begin giving out orders "I want both of you to go after him before he can used that Flute."
"But why do I had work with this idiot?" Gray complained. "I can take on Kageyama on my own!"
"Pleases," Natsu sneered at Gray. "If anyone going to take down Kageyama, it's going to be me!"
"Yeah right!" Gray scorn Natsu.
"Are you two listening to a word I'm saying?" Erza reacted with irritated tone.
"Of course! Of course!" Both Natsu and Gray quickly reacted in their best-friends-forever façade as they went after Erigor.
"Don't let those two get away!" Byard ordered. "We can't have them interfere with Erigor's plans!"
"I'll take that flaming punk!" Kageyama shouted as he used his Shadow magic to teleport himself. "I owe him for the bruise he gave me back on the train.
"Then I guess I deal with the other one as well!" said Rayule as he also left.
Meanwhile, Lucy, Happy, Pyrus, Tommy and Erza were left alone to deal with the army of Dark Guild members. Yet the assembled members of Eisenwald laughed as they stared down on the group. The boy only stare them calmly with his hands on his pocket
"Hahaha, the red head's pretty cute" mocked one of the Eisenwald members.
"Nah, I'll have the sexy blond girl at the back" said another.
"Fairy Tail mages are cute" said a third.
"That's enough, if you all continue to insult Fairy Tail then I can guarantee that none of you will live to see tomorrow" snarled Erza as she extended her hand as one of her winged swords appeared in hand much to Lucy's surprise.
"If I were you guys, you better not make Erza mad!" Pyrus warned the Eisenwald mages. "And believe me you won't like Erza when she's mad"
"Shut punk, as if you think you can scare us!" Byard mocked Pyrus. "Of the files you got to be the weakest of the bunch. So we had any trouble swapping you!"
"Swapping me?" Pyrus slowly repeated Byard's words. "Weakest of the bunch?"
From the tone in voice it seems he took as a slight. Pyrus look at the Eisenwald mages for a moment before he turn to Erza and says "Erza, why don't you go after Erigor. I'll deal with these guys by myself..."
"No Pyrus, you can't fight them all by yourself!" Erza told them. "There too many of you to fight them all by yourself."
"Don't worry," Pyrus replied. "I already sense the magical level from these guys. They're not enough to be a serious threat, despite over hundreds of them. And beside, you need save your energy for Erigor. He's the only one who the strongest of our opponents."
Erza knew Pyrus had a point. Although she sends Natsu and Gray after Erigor, she also knew that the other Dark Mages, Kageyama and Rayule will catch up them first. The important objective was to make sure Erigor doesn't used that flute.
"OK then, but be careful!" Erza advice him.
As soon as Erza left Pyrus says to Lucy, Tommy and Happy "Hey guys! can you guys keep a safe distance. I'll deal with these bunch myself!"
"Are you sure Pyrus?" Lucy asked, looking concern. Although she knows Pyrus was very strong, she didn't think he can handle so many Eisenwald mages by himself!
"Don't worry. Pyrus can handle them, Lucy" said Tommy perched on Lucy's shoulder. "Pyrus already defeated guys more than this. You guys just don't know his true strength, in fact. all battle you see from him before, he even didn't use 5% of his power.
"Not even 5%" Lucy and Happy yelled in surprise "Just, how strong is he" Lucy thought.
Yet all the Eisenwald members laughed at Pyrus.
"Can you believe this punk!" Byard laughed. "He thinks he can take us on?"
"I heard the name Erza before," said Karacka. "She's Fairy Tails' strongest mage, known as Titania. With her gone, I'm sure we can beat these guys!"
"I say we get rid of the kid fast!" said one of the Eisenwald mages. "I want have fun with that blonde fly chock!"
"I handle this punk by myself boys!" Byard arrogantly declared. "It will one take about 5 seconds!"
Byard attempts to use his Light Magic on Pyrus, intended blast the young boy away. However, Pyrus used his magic first.
"Wind Dragon's ...!" Pyrus grip his hand tightly. Quickly ensconced with wind that activation the powers of his Wind Dragon Magic, Pyrus instant vanished in thin air and appear right before Byard in a blink of an eye. Before Byard reacted,"...Iron Fist!" Pyrus smashes his fist against the Dark Mage's face, sending him toward the wall, making a large hole and knocking him out. His face is very horrible that they almost can't recognize him anymore.
"BYARD!" the Eisenwald mages cried out in horror.
"I don't believe it!" Karacka thought with a shocking look on his face. "He beat Byard with just one punch!"
Meanwhile, both Lucy and Happy were shocked of how fast Pyrus was, and how strong his punch was in knocking out Byard.
"I guess there is nothing to worry about," Lucy thought.
"It only took me 1 second to beat this guy!" Pyrus told the rest of the Eisenwald mages. "60 seconds…I think It will take me 60 seconds to beat the rest of you clowns!"
This respond had causes some of the Eisenwald mages to acted more seriously.
"Don't underestimate us punk!" snarled one of the Eisenwald as he seriously got his magic ready for action.
"Yeah!" said another Eisenwald mage. "You're still outnumber, 120 to 1."
"Well.. We Just see about that" Pyrus smirked, The dark guild didn't move at all.
"What's the matter with you all!?... Come on attack him!" Half of the Eisenwald members charged at him. Pyrus just stood there while wind surrounding him. Pointed his hand at them, "Wind Dragon's Wind Blades" as blade made out of wind strike at them, leaving some of them defeated with many cuts and torn up clothes.
"Wind Dragon's Violent Wing Slash" Pyrus rushed at them, slashing 20 of the members and then quickly disappear from the spot and attack the other members. He bypass others members while attack them at incredible speed that sent them flying. . He Dodge a sword from someone and punch the man in his face sending him to the wall.
Pyrus rushed at other enemy and do a spinning kick at him, than launched himself towards another man and punched his abdomen sending him towards his comrade make them fall to the ground.
"You bastard! " Yelled a man while using his magic towards Pyrus but he easily block it and strike him on his face.
"Charge!" Forty more members of Eisenwald rushed at him. The first man was about to punch him in the face but Pyrus easily dodge it by lean aside and chopped the man's neck. The second and third man using their magic at him , Pyrus side stepped to Dodge them as he using his incredible speed to kick them from behind and tackling the third man's leg.
The boy find himself surrounded by them, with their magic and magic items ready to strike the boy. At the moment they attack him in the same time, Pyurs activates a dome made out of wind. All the Eisenwald remaining members tried to breakthrough the wind dome, but their efforts are in vain.
Pyrus even let a small yawn as he gazing them in boredom. He deactivated his wind dome while his eyes closed, as the Eisenwald see this as opportunity, they quickly strike him.
But before they could touch him, "HAA!" Pyrus opened his eyes following with a strong shout, that making strong wind blows causing the Eisenwald members flying.
He turn his gaze at remaining members and quickly rushed at them "Wind Dragon's Violent Wing Slash" He passed through them making them flying then hit the wall.
He see someone behind him and strike the man using his elbow. Two other members in front of him as he dodged their swords and sending a kick at of the man making him unconscious. All the remaining members surrounding him as he build up his magic .
"Wind Dragon's Gale Force Wall!" suddenly a strong tornado surrounding him making the Eisenwald members flying. The tornado was spinning at incredible speed, that begin to blow them all away, it destroy any obstacles.
Some of them still standing as he begin to float above them. Raising his hand as wind begin to spinning at high speed making a sphere of wind. "Wind Dragon's Small Cyclone Bomb!" He throw it at them making a giant explosion of wind begin to shredded them because of small wind blades that created by the sphere.
"Aaaaaakkkkhhhhhh!"
"ghh... waaaakkhhh!" some of the members screaming because was hit by the attack.
"Wind Dragon's Wind Blades" as making another blades of wind, the attack launched at them. But to everyone's surprise, the attacks go through them making the confused by this as their hair was cut down and making them bold,
"Waaaaa... My hair!" "My cool and awesome hair!"
"what have you done, kid!?"
some of the crying over as they lost their hair.
"We can't defeat him! "
"he's a monster"
"Retreat! "
"please forgive us!" The Eisenwald members begin to run away from the station as a few still holding their heads while running.
Pyrus swing his hand making a strong gust of wind and tornado making the Eisenwald flying because of the wind. They begin to spinning within the tornado that Pyrus created.
When the area was cleared. All members of Eisenwald Laying on the ground badly hurt. Torn up clothes ,heavily injured with many cuts on their body, and eyes spinning. Nobody was moving while the entire area was really destroyed.
As Pyrus making the wind disappear,he looked at his surrounding before looking at Lucy and the cats
"Incredible!... He able to defeat them all by himself!" Lucy exclaimed. Awestruck by Pyrus demonstrate his power.
"I told you didn't I. Pyrus is really strong!" Tommy said
"You guys okay?" Pyrus asked them. "Yes. We're fine" Lucy reply at his question. As few moments later, Erza come back from chased Erigor.
"Pyrus!, can you eat wind!?" Erza asked
"well yeah... Since I'm a wind dragon slayer, of course I do" Pyrus replied her. As Erza dragging him out of the station
As they out of the station. Only to finding that the satiton was surrounding wall of wind. Erza explain the situation, that Erigor was planning to play the flute in the guild master meeting at Clover City.
"Can you able to eat it?" Erza asked.
"Well I could.. But" The boy crossed his arms.
"but what?" Erza asked again.
"it would take few minutes... We don't have time to wait " Pyrus said walking closer to the wall. "Erigor will be arrive before we do... So I'll go alone" Pyrus said.
"Alone?.. But Pyrus, Erigor is different league at the members you took down! " Erza yelled ad him. "Stay here and wait for everyone. This is direct order! "
"She doesn't know of what she talking about" Pyrus thought.
"Don't worry. I'll defeat him. Because I am the last hope..." He said calmly as he punch the wind wall, making a out for short amount of time with Tommy.
Everyone is disbelief at Pyrus's action to fight Erigor alone. Lucy and gray was about to after him but Natsu stopped them, saying Pyrus will be okay.
