"Shall we chase after him Mama?" Zeus asked when Kageyama stole the Lullaby flute from the distracted Fairy Tail mages and ran off down the tracks a good bit before the others even noticed what he had done.
"No." Lucy said easily as the rest of the mages began trying to chase him on foot until she scooped them all up into her hand again and began to walk down the tracks towards Clover.
"Wouldn't sending Zeus and Prometheus catch him before he can blow the flute though?" Natsu asked making her hum slightly as if in thought.
"They could catch up to him in no time and stop him easily bu-"
"Then why not send them ahead! If he gets to the guild masters and blows that flute then-" Gray began to say sounding quite angry and frost covered a little of Lucy's hand until Natsu shoved him and used his fire to lightly remove the frost. Lucy didn't even notice.
"He won't blow the flute." Lucy said calmly and confidently.
"How can you be sure of that? He's a member of a dark Guild who had planned this entire thing just to take out the guild masters!" Erza said and Buster was surprisingly quiet right now, apparently he was sleeping at the moment which was understandable since having his soul taken and then put into something else was quite tiring. Lucy was a bit surprised at how deeply he slept however.
"Three main reasons. One you're right he had a guild with him at the start of this but now he's alone. Most members of Dark Guilds like his are cruel vicious bullies or psychopaths like Erigor. Bullies are big and mean and strong as long as no one stands up to them or as long as they have others just like them around them. He's alone and injured besides. He won't blow the flute." Lucy said simply as she continued to walk at a sedate pace.
"Second reason. Master has already been contacted and is aware of the possibility that one of the Dark Guild Mages will slip by us during the confusion and get to them with intent to harm and therefore he and all the other Guild Masters are on alert just in case." Lucy said which calmed them down immediately knowing that their Master was aware of the danger and on the look out for it.
"Third and final reason. Everyone who hears that flute played dies. Everyone. That means even the person who plays it. I'm sure he probably knows by now that he doesn't actually want to die and that if he does this then the circumstances that he did want to kill would never leave him. He wouldn't be alive to enjoy it if it did work that ways anyways. And he knows he doesn't want to die, his soul knows that as well and now the rest of him does too. So he won't play that flute and commit suicide." Lucy said calmly to them and they winced at recalled that everyone who heard it would die, which meant that naturally the caster would too unless he blocked his ears.
"So just relax for a little while. We have a bit of a walk to get to Clover and find the guild masters conference hall. He's not going to kill them, one way or the other, and everything will work out fine." Lucy said and her voice was soft and relaxing right then, almost motherly in it's assurances, as she walked the path and carried them in one hand.
"Do you want me to carry them Mama?" Zeus asked offering to let them ride on his back and Natsu and Happy both perked up happily at this.
"No it's alright Zeus. I've got them." Lucy said smiling softly and making the spirits that were part of her soul chuckle slightly in amusement and fondness.
"She's adopting more people isn't she?" Napoleon asked making Erza look alarmed since she hadn't heard the hat speak before.
"You do know we're roughly the same age as her if not older than her right?" Gray asked the hat dryly with a raised eyebrow and it just caused Zeus, Prometheus, and Napoleon all to chuckle or laugh.
"That won't stop her! She adopts everyone who she thinks needs it! Especially people whose souls cry out and poke her maternal side into the forefront! She adopted a lot of people older than her already, like that Katakuri guy or that girl who called herself Smoothie…what's the last count again?" Zeus asked looking at Prometheus who hummed in thought and turned to Napoleon.
"85. Not counting those peoples own children or grandchildren who openly call her grandma or such. Most of them are over the age of twenty as well." Napoleon said immediately and Lucy blushed and scowled a bit while Erza and Gray's jaws dropped open slightly.
"Hush you three." Lucy said with a small blush on her cheeks, making the three chuckle but fall quiet upon her request.
"Natsu called her Mama too during the Everlue quest!" Happy immediately reported with a grin on his face.
"Did I? Huh." Natsu just blinked and looked completely unbothered by this as he shrugged his shoulders. He wondered what a Mama was like…he only had Igneel who was the greatest!
"So she's adopting another one. Add another tally to the list Napoleon!" Zeus said making Lucy blush slightly while Napoleon hummed a bit.
"Mama now has 86 kids." Napoleon said and Gray gave a small snort at that as he relaxed a bit and smirked, this gave him something new to tease Natsu about at least.
"No wonder they call you Big Mama." Gray said and Lucy groaned heavily at that.
"I don't even know how that name got started! Seriously they just started calling me that in the news one day when I was like fourteen and I haven't been able to lose it for two years now!" Lucy said and she near whined at that. She was only sixteen. Why the hell would everyone call her Big Mama and make it sound as if she was in her twenties or thirties and had several kids or something?!
Her spirits began snickering or whistling innocently and she glared at them.
Oh she had a suspicion that they were part of the reason she got that name but it was never confirmed.
If she found out one of them was, and she strongly suspected Zeus was the culprit, then she was going to rip their portion of the soul out and make a new homie with it!
