"This is taking a while!" I shouted to Erza as we rode down uneven terrain. "Couldn't we take the train instead?"

We had been driving for almost an hour, trying to catch up to those Eisenwald dickbags. No one was near giving up, and Erza, the one driving the car, didn't answer us because she was so determined to get them too. Similar goals?

"Erza! You're going too fast! You could tear the energy plug!" added Gray. Natsu was hanging out the window, Lucy was pulling him back, and Happy didn't give a shit about anything. Suddenly, the car bumped down a rocky path and we headed into a town.

"Oh no, this is bad. This is very bad," I muttered as Erza mercilessly plowed through the streets, the townsfolk barely getting out of the way in time.

Then, there was an explosion. I looked up, and all I could see were billows of smoke rising up into the air. Erza presumably saw it too, because she turned left furiously, and headed to the center of town where the explosion occurred.

Coming to a screeching halt, Erza stopped in front of a large crowd of people. Immediately, we jumped out of the car, well, except for Natsu. Lucy had to carry him out. Erza marched up to the wall of guards blocking the building, a train station.

"What's the situation going on here?" she asked.

"Huh? Who are you- Augh!" He didn't get to finish, as Erza punched him across the face. Then she walked up to another guard, asked him the same question, and punched him in the face when he couldn't answer.

"Wait! Hold up! Hey!" I called to Erza when she was about to beat up the last guy.

"Come on, Erza! Guy, what the hell happened here?"

"T-there was a loud explosion-"

"Yes, we know that already! Couldn't you be a bit less obvious?"

"I think there was a train crash or something. A group of armed forces went in to take care of Eisenwald, but they have yet to return. That's all I know, but why do you care?" Erza looked at me, and I nodded. She ran inside the station with the others, and I punched the guy in the face.

The train station was tremendous. The ceiling must've been big enough to stack 5 or more of me, Mega Evolved. We ran towards the entrance to the terminal and saw a horrible sight.

All the guards that went in were all sprawled out on the floor everywhere, dead. I even checked one guy's pulse. He was dead and gone.

"Do you think Eisenwald is behind this?" whispered Lucy who was still carrying Natsu on her shoulders.

"Hm, I don't know," I said sarcastically. "The guild we're after who stupidly announced their plan out loud, saying that they were going to come here, and most likely crashed the train? What do you think? Couldn't you make it any more obvious?"

"I was just clarifying..."

"I think it's already clear enough. Let's go." Erza led the way up to the terminals where, surprise, the whole entire guild, Eisenwald was standing. And sitting above them on a ledge was, you guessed it, motherfucking Erigor. God. Dammit.

"Erigor! Get your ass down here now, you asshole! What'd you think we were going to do? Stand around after you told us the plan and let a whole bunch of people die? Uh-uh. That's not happening on my account. With us five..." I motioned to us, and then to the rest of Eisenwald, "...against all of you. None of you stand a chance against us."

"Heh. You're all talk. I expected you to come here, to find out about the plan, so that you could join in on the cleansing. I didn't tell you the plan and expect you to walk away," he laughed an evil, horrible, laugh. "I expected you to arrive. I crashed the train on purpose, to grab your attention and lure you here. And now that you're here, there's no use in running. Once we broadcast Lullaby, this city will be cleansed of its filth."

"You know what the definition of filth is? Those tattoos on your dirty ass face." The rest of the members murmured, "ooooohhh..."

Erigor jumped up and started hovering with his Wind Magic. "We'll see whose face is dirty after this."

"But why are you guys doing this? What do you have to gain from this?" shouted Lucy. Erigor smirked.

"Power! That's all we want! By destroying a whole city, we will be able to prove our power."

"You're mad! That's not how you-"

"Lucy! Say no more!" I shouted. "It's pointless. Don't you get it? They don't listen to our voices. They only listen to our fists. All of you against five of us-"

"Me too!" called Happy.

"Him too. Against all of us."

"It's you again! You're the one who beat me up on the train!" shouted the guy in the white coat.

"Seriously, Kageyama?" murmured the guild mates.

"He beat you up? That kid?"

"Yeah well, that 'kid' got me in trouble with Erigor! He saw the flute! Now," he prepared a magic attack. "It's payback time. Sorry you flies are going to see the afterlife without being able to witness the age of darkness!" Yet again, he used Knuckle Shadow, but it was much faster than before, giving me less time to think.

"Oh shit! Uh, what spell, what spell," I muttered as I flipped frantically through my book. I flipped to "Water Magic".

"Wave Blast," I muttered as I deployed a towering wall of water, blocking the attack and surging closer to the Eisenwald members.

"Guard Shadow!" Kageyama surrounded most of the guild members with a wall of shadow. The rest of the members who weren't surrounded got washed away. They couldn't see what was going on, so I Shadow Switched to the wall of shadow and jumped out. I Mega Evolved, and got ready to use an attack. A ball of flame formed in my hands, growing bigger and bigger. The wall of shadow lifted, and then...

"Giga Flame Ball." I unleashed the mega attack at Kageyama and the some of the other guild members. The Flame Ball exploded on impact, sending the rest of the guild flying.

"Hey." I heard a voice from behind me. I whipped around, and Kageyama punched my face with Knuckle Shadow. I landed a few feet away, and a bunch of guild members landed on top of me, forming a dog pile. They punched me, a mistake, and they used magic. The attacks didn't do too much damage, but I realized the longer I stayed there, the more they would whittle me down. I focused my fire power in my body all over, in my arms, my chest and torso, my legs, my head, everywhere. It was difficult, but I was able to focus my energy on every part in my body. And then...

"Fire Shield!" Flames engulfed my whole body, making me untouchable. Fire erupted out from every part of my body so suddenly and created a foot wide wall of flame around my body. The guild members closest to me were scorched and got second-degree burns and then everyone was blown off in all directions.

"Rrgh! Everyone! Get the rest of them!" shouted Erigor, and he disappeared instantly.

"NO! DON'T LET HIM GET AWAY!" I screamed. "YOU SON OF A BITCH! WAIT'LL I GET MY HANDS ON YOU!" A group of guys dashed at me with swords and swung hard at me. I blocked in time with my steel arm and charged Flame Ball with my right hand, blasting them all.

"Natsu! Gray! Go after Erigor! I must stay and fight alongside Vinny!" They death glared at each other. "GUYS!"

"Aye sa!"

"Yes ma'am!"

"Erza, I need you to hold these guys back for me," I said, switching back to my normal form. "I need to go after Erigor. Also, we need a pair of eyes to keep an eye on Natsu and Gray, because you know how they are. You can fight alongside Lucy instead. She's tough as well."

"What if you do encounter Erigor? He's too strong!"

"Erza. You need to trust me. If I meet up with him, I'll do my best to defeat him." She nodded and I ran after Natsu and Gray. Behind me, I could hear the angry shouts of the Eisenwald members and Erza attacking them all. I stopped and looked back. I knew I could count on Erza, the strongest woman in Fairy Tail, to take down a whole guild. After snapping back to reality, I set off towards Natsu and Gray. I had other things to worry about.

Up ahead in a long hallway, I heard the voices of Gray and Natsu arguing back and forth.

"Why did I have to be stuck with you?" grumbled Natsu.

"Quit stealing my line!" responded Gray. "Work together? You've gotta be kidding me!"

"You can't mix fire and ice! It's impossible!"

"Erza's so selfish-minded!"

"She always thinks she can do everything on her own!" Natsu and Gray stopped and gave each other the death glare.

"I can handle this by myself!"

"Don't copy me!"

"Shut up!"

"Both of you shut up!" I yelled as I ran up to them and whacked them both upside the head. "The longer you stand there, the more time Erigor will have to activate the Lullaby!"

"Where the hell...?!" exclaimed Natsu.

"Why're you telling us what to do?" grumbled Gray.

"BECAUSE. IF YOU DON'T GET ALONG, YOU WON'T RETURN TO FAIRY TAIL," I growled in my demon voice. Natsu and Gray jumped. "Focus on the goddamn task at hand!" We were apparently at the end of the hallway, and there was a fork in the road.

"Both of you can go a separate way. Natsu, go right. Gray, go left. I'm going with you, Natsu."

"Why him? What do you have against me?"

"Who said I had anything against you? I'm going right because right is my dominant hand. I know, stupid reason, but if given the choice- never mind. Natsu, go ahead. I'll catch up." Natsu nodded and ran off. I turned to Gray. "If you run into anyone, they're most likely going to be from Eisenwald. So don't hold back. Attack immediately, and get information about the Lullaby plan. Force the information out of them if you have to. Now go!" He nodded and darted away, leaving just me. I looked right, then left and thought about how I would deal with this situation. I wanted to beat the shit out of Erigor for being such an idiot, and for threatening Gramps. I couldn't say I'd known anyone in Fairy Tail for my whole life, much less of a whole year, but if anyone threatens my friends, they'll be halfway to hell by the time I'm done with them. But then I also thought about my power, and how weak I still was. I was nowhere near the level of Erza yet, and still quite a ways away from surpassing Natsu. Would I be able to take down Erigor by myself? Probably not, but if I managed to then my power would grow immensely, surpassing Natsu by a long shot. I snapped back to reality suddenly, and dashed after Natsu.

"I wonder, *huff* if I have *huff* Speed Magic spells. *huff*" I flipped through my book to see if there was a Speed Magic page yet.

Nope.

Way to be difficult, book, I thought. Suddenly, up ahead, I heard sounds of voices and crashing.

"Hahaha! If you beat me, then maybe I'll consider telling you where Erigor is," said Kageyama's voice.

"How fortunate, 'cuz you're gonna end up telling me, andI get to beat the crap outta you! Two birds with one stone!" replied Natsu. "Now I'm all fired up!" Then there were sounds of swift feet and Magic. I came to a hole in the wall where Natsu probably destroyed it. I carefully stepped into what looked to be a storage room. Kageyama unleashed a whole wave of Knuckle Shadows at Natsu, but he was too quick on his feet and dodged every attack that Kageyama threw at him.

"Nimble bastard! See if you can dodge this! My Snake Shadow will follow you!"

"Hah! I'll shatter you! Fire Dragon's Wing Attack!" Two long ropes of fire covered Natsu's arms and he whipped them down on the Snake Shadows.

"What?! Impossible! How could he have taken them out in one shot?"

"The same way I'll take you out..." I said, charging up a punch with my regular arm. "... Like trash on garbage day." He turned around when he heard my voice, and I hit him square in the nose, making him fly back towards Natsu.

"Natsu! Get 'em!" I shouted towards Natsu.

"I'm one step ahead of you!" He ignited his fist and punched Kageyama back into a wall, breaking it. He didn't get up, and I ran over to him, grabbing him by the jacket.

"Hahaha! Looks like we won, Diorama!" laughed Natsu.

"I-it's Kageyama...!" he said weakly.

"Alright! Tell us where Erigor is! TELL US NOW!"

"... Hahaha. You idiot. Erigor isn't in this station anymore."

"What?!" said Natsu.

I punched Kageyama. "Don't call me an idiot!" Suddenly, we heard footsteps and I saw Erza and Gray rushing up to us.

"Natsu! Vinny! That's enough! We need him!" shouted Erza.

"Nice going, idiots! Look at all this destruction you've done!" added Gray. Suddenly, Erza jumped up in the air with her sword. Natsu thought it was for him.

"I'm sorry Erza! Don't hurt me!" Of course, it wasn't for him, rather for Kageyama instead. Erza sliced her sword in the wall up to Kageyama's neck. Since he couldn't move, his head could've been chopped off.

"Kage! Destroy the magic Wind Wall around the station or else!" commanded Erza. Seeing as he had no other choice, he slowly nodded.

"Wait, what? Is there something that I don't know about? What the heck is a Wind Wall?" I asked.

"It's just what it sounds like. It's a surging wall of wind that surrounds the train station. It's one way only, meaning that you can enter, but you can't exit. If you try to exit, you'll be ripped apart by the surging winds," answered Gray.

"Would it even rip apart metal?" I gestured to my steel arm.

"I don't know. But you wouldn't be able to stay on the ground anyway even if you are made of steel. The 300 mile an hour winds would blow you away. Well, unless you were immensely heavy andmade of steel or maybe something stronger."

"Holy shit. So we're talking like, rocket speed."

"Vinny! Watch your tongue! I'd hate to see something bad happen to it!" shouted Erza.

"Oh yeah, I forgot. She's not the happiest camper right now." But just then, a fat hand reached through Kage's chest.

Okay. It's not that I cared about Kageyama dying or not in other circumstances, but if he was our only means of escape, then hell yeah, I wanted him alive.

"Don't die, Kage! We need you!" shouted Erza. I noticed the guy sticking out of the wall, who had a scared expression on his face.

He just killed Kage. We needed him to escape.

But the fat guy killed him.

He killed his own guildmate.

Killed.

No... I won't have it... even if I don't give a shit about Kageyama... no. I won't have it, I thought. He was our only escape. No. NO! I WON'T FUCKIN' HAVE IT! I clenched my fist in a vice grip and power marched over to the guy in the wall. He saw me approaching, and quickly slid back into the wall. Reacting quickly, I used Titanium Fist on the wall, knocking a large part of it down. He was also affected by the attack and became temporarily stunned.

"No! Let him go, Vinny!" called Erza.

"I can't let him go," I said, with a crazy look. "NOT WHEN HE KILLED OUR ONLY CHANCE OF ESCAPING AND CATCHING ERIGOR!" I dashed suddenly at the fat bastard and grabbed him by the neck, pinning him up against the wall. He attempted to use the same spell he used on Kage, but I gripped his fat hand in my steel hand and snapped his wrist. He screamed in pain, and his arm dangled, the familiar sight of shiny, red blood trickling down his wrist.

"Stop!" Erza rushed up behind me with her sword, but I held up my steel arm, blocking her attack. I pushed against the sword, and pushed it to the ground. With my other hand, I slashed at her with Flame Claw, to which she held up her arms.

"Ground Magic: Pillar Stone!" I touched the ground and then thick pillars of stone rose up, separating me and Erza.

"What will killing him do for you?!"

I didn't answer, because fatty was getting away, touching the wall so that he could merge into it. I grabbed his collar and yanked him back, throwing him on the ground. He rolled to the side, but I used Hammer Fist, bringing my fist down onto his huge belly, making him spit up red.

"Now you will answer my question instantly. If I don't like your answer, THEN YOU'RE GONNA SEE HELL'S GATE IN SECONDS."

"What question?"

"Can you cure Kage? If you can, then do it now."

"No, I don't have anything. He's going to die- WAIT!" I raised my fist, and started to bring it down towards his face. "There's another way out!" I stopped, but still broke some of his face bones and teeth. "The wall only surrounds the surface! It doesn't go underground. You can dig a hole under the train station leading to the outside. That is, unless you want to wait a few hours to wait for the Wind Wall to die out, but by then, all of your precious guild masters will be dead! Ahahahaha!" I lowered the pillars. Erza was still trying to break through them, and almost did, but she stopped once she saw them lower.

"Erza. There's another way out. He said- HEY! I didn't say you could leave!" The fatty was trying to escape through the wall again, but I grabbed him by the collar again. "Anyway. He says that we can escape by digging underground to avoid the Wind Wall."

"...! Why didn't of think of that before? Let's go!" I took one more look at the fat guy. I punched his fat mug, knocking him back into a wall. Natsu, Gray, and Erza had all gathered, and even Lucy and Happy joined the scene. Altogether, with Kage as well, we rushed toward the entrance, past the terminal and outside where, sure enough, was the Wind Wall. The winds surged around in a mighty cyclone, like an upside down tornado, trying to vacuum us up into the sky. I touched the wall with my steel hand, which jolted back instantly, causing sparks to fly.

"Yep, definitely impassible," I muttered, shaking my hand out.

"How are we going to dig a hole to the other side, though?" questioned Erza. It didn't occur to me right away that I had a way of digging. "Vinny. Do you have a digging spell that you can use?" I Summoned my book and flipped through it quickly.

"Ground Magic. Power Quake, Pillar Stone... Huh. That's it? Hmm... Let me try something..." I rolled up my sleeve, revealing my whole steel arm. I punched the ground, which made the bricks barely dent.. I stood up, scratching my chin.

"This floor is made of hard bricks, but is there something that I could break these with?" I tapped my chin. "Something that can drill holes... ah, I got nothing. Oh, wait. Wait. There's something on the tip of my tongue." I thought about it pretty hard. I knew I had drilled a hole before, but I hadn't done that. I tried to remember.

"What in the world did I use to drill the hole? Nothing else could've drilled through, except for... oh, that's right! My Pokémon! I could use Tyranitar! He can dig holes!" I summoned Tyranitar. "Tyranitar! Try breaking the floor! Try making a hole from here to the other side of that wind wall. Be careful not to touch it, though." He nodded, and stomped his foot down onto the ground creating a large hole. Then he began to punch the hole, faster and faster until he drilled through the ground and to the other side. Without waiting another second, Natsu (With Kage on his back), Lucy, Happy, Gray, Erza and I all jumped into the hole and hurried over to the other side. The moment of truth was when Natsu was able to pass through, meaning that it worked! Take that Erigor, you fuckin' piece of shit.

"Alright! We're out!" shouted Gray over the howling winds.

"We don't have much time! Let's get going!" commanded Erza.

Suddenly, we heard a groaning sound coming from Kageyama. "Heheheh. There's no way you'll be able to save your guild masters. Unless you can fly like Erigor... Heheheheh. We win...!" I slapped him in the face.

"Shut up! If you want to live, then shut your mouth! We're gonna win this! You'll see! Don't ever underestimate our power, especially Natsu's. Right, Natsu?" I looked over to where Natsu once was.

Both he and Happy was gone.

"He probably flew off to fight Erigor. He's not nearly strong enough- Vinny! Where are you going?" shouted Erza as I Summoned Fearow.

"I'm going off to help Natsu. With both of our powers combined, we could take down Erigor, or at least hurt him pretty bad. I'm doing this for our sake. I'm doing this for my sanity because the world can't even stay at peace for FIVE FUCKING SECONDS!" My voice slowly crescendoed up to a roar. "I hate anyone who's evil. I hate anyone who threatens my guild, my friends, or me. But if they threaten my guild master, they better say their prayers, because that's the last prayer they're ever gonna make. I don't know if I can stop Erigor..." I looked at everyone. "... But I can sure as hell do my best." I tapped Fearow on his neck and he nodded. He got a running start towards the Wind Wall and took flight, barely missing the wall.

"Fearow! Follow the tracks in that direction!" I pointed to the train tracks going right of the station. Fearow ducked his head in response and shot off like a rocket. The tracks continued out to the edge of town, and then entered a grassy field. The tracks were long, even with Fearow flying faster than a train. "Faster Fearow! Or I won't be able to save the guild masters! You're doing great! You can do it!" Fearow nodded in acknowledgement and sped up. Suddenly, the tracks on a green, grassy plain turned into a bridge riding over a rocky, bottomless ridge. Jagged pillars of stone rose up from the abyss as a painful reminder to those who choose to cross the bridge on foot. I wouldn't even want to think about anyone slipping off the edge, hanging on for their life. Fearow soared high up in the air, above the rugged terrain and safe from the rocky abyss. Up ahead, over the howling wind in my face, I heard the sounds of crashing and fighting. Why did I always show up late for the fights? I mentally kicked myself. I saw that Natsu had landed in front of Erigor and he saw me coming up behind Erigor, who couldn't see me. Suddenly, I got an idea.

"Fearow! Fly down and use Drill Peck on the white haired guy!" I jumped off Fearow, and Fearow dived in for the attack. Erigor was quick enough to dodge Fearow's attack, but I dove down towards Erigor just as he turned around. He was also quick enough to put up a mini Wind Wall around him- wait, Wind Wall? Wind Ball? Wind Shield? Well, whatever he called it, my fist bounced off the barrier, preventing me from damaging him. I flew back, flipping in the air, but then Fearow caught me and set me down on the ground. I flipped through my book to see if I could use a spell that would be good against Erigor's Wind Magic. Neither Natsu's nor my fire power could break Erigor's wind shield because I knew that wind puts out fire. Of course, that didn't stop Natsu from perpetually attacking Erigor with fire attacks nonetheless. Shadow Magic would have no effect on the shield because it would pass through, Ground Magic wouldn't do shit because he was in the air. What would do well against Wind Magic? I thought as Natsu continued to fight Erigor. Suddenly, I had an idea. If I was fast enough, then I could Summon Gyarados to use Hydro Pump or Surf get rid of the wind barrier because if I had a large amount of water and dumped it on a flow of air, it would disrupt the flow, whereas a tiny spray of water wouldn't do shit. But I would need Erigor to stay in place, and I knew that he would be able to see Gyarados trying to attack without a proper distraction, and Natsu would be all over the place, keeping Erigor as a moving target, so that wouldn't work. I looked over at Fearow and got an idea.

"Fearow. I want you to fly around Erigor very fast. Make sure that he keeps his eyes on you. I never taught you the move Double Team, but you can try to make illusionary clones of yourself. Now go. I have a plan that could work." Fearow nodded his head, then set into flight around Erigor.

"What the hell?! What's with this bird? Get away from me!" As he tried to fight off Fearow, I Summoned Gyarados, commanding him to use Surf. Immediately, Gyarados began to produce a water attack, and then he released a big wave of water on Erigor, who was too aware of his surroundings and dodged the attack.

"Ah, I get it now. How adorable. You try to get your pets to fight for you, because you can't fight on your own? Aw. That's cute. However, you know what's going to be better? When I rip you all to shreds with the might of my winds!" As he spoke, I motioned for Gyarados to use Hydro Pump on Erigor. A moment after that, a large blast of water was shot towards Erigor. But stupid me, I obviously didn't learn my lesson; no matter how I tried to attack Erigor, he would dodge, and then he unleashed an attack of his own.

"Wind Magic: Storm Bringer!" A large cyclone of wind blasted out of Erigor's hands and hit Fearow dead-on, knocking him over the bridge.

"Oh shit! Fearow! Come back!" I Summoned Fearow's ball, but then Erigor aimed his attack at the Pokéball, knocking it over the ravine. It fell with great speed and disappeared amongst the sea of jagged rocks. Fearow, who was unconscious, fell over the edge, on the verge of meeting the same fate as the Pokéball.

"No! I got you, buddy!" I got a running start and jumped off the bridge in a desperate attempt to save Fearow. The jump was not enough, and I ended up using Flare Burst to extend the length of the leap, catching Fearow in my open arms. I thought Fearow was safe, but only then did I realize that I was about to be dragged down with Fearow.

"Aauugh! Happy! Help me!" Happy darted away from Natsu, who was still trying to fight Erigor. He flew over to me and grabbed my arms, trying to pull us up. But the weight of Fearow and me must've been too great, as Happy was straining to keep us aloft.

"C-can't! Hold! On!" cried Happy. His paw slipped, and he lost hold of me for a second. "What did you eat today? Bricks?"

"Shut up and help me!" I quickly grabbed his hand again, pulling him down a bit from the downward momentum. Suddenly, an idea sprung into my head.

"Go! Mewtwo!" I Summoned Mewtwo's ball and threw it up onto the bridge, with Mewtwo emerging from a bright red light. "Mewtwo! Use Psychic and help us back up! Happy! When I tell you to let go, you can let go!" He couldn't nod because he was straining too hard, but he made a little noise that told me he understood. Mewtwo pointed his arm at us and took Fearow out of my arms, placing him gently down on the bridge. However, Erigor was too quick, and knocked Mewtwo and Fearow back over the side of the bridge.

"Ugh... fuckin' relentless..." I panted.

"You weak little bastard. I could throw you off the bridge right now." Erigor marched slowly over to me as I tried to get up, but he planted his foot on my head, keeping me on the ground. "But I'm going to be generous, okay?" He brandished the Lullaby. "I'm a forgiving guy, and I'd hate for you to miss out on this wonderful song! So you know what? I'm going to play it right here, right now, and end your suffering."

"Oh, you're all too kind... but I won't... let you... play that... Lullaby!" I strained hard to lift his foot off my head, but I had almost no power left, and he was too quick.

Determination didn't matter in this situation. I was determined as humanly possible, but do heroes get power from just determination alone? Forget Undertale. That's a fantasy game where freakin' animals can talk and DETERMINATION is like an injection or something. I was right all along.

I was weak.

"Let me tell you a little something, punk. Wherever you're from, well, guess what? You're not there anymore. You're in Magnolia, you weak bastard. I was going to let you die honorably, but now I'm gonna make you meet the same fate as your little pets-AUUUGH! HURTS! SO! MUCH!" Suddenly, Erigor lifted his foot from my head, and held his own, writhing in pain. Mewtwo stood there, using Psychic to give Erigor a headache. Fearow was trying to stay in the air, but I wasn't doing so well, and I began to black out. The last thing I remember was Natsu creating a fire wall around himself, sucking up Erigor's Wind Wall.

Then everything went dark...
