Erza's POV
Erigor managed to get away while the rest of us trapped in this damn barrier. If only I had stopped them back at where I last found them then we wouldn't be in this dumb mess. That doesn't matter now, all we need to figure out is a way to get out and catch up to that fly. I had ran back to the platform and tied up the unconscious wizards with some ropes from my magic. While I was doing so, I noticed one of them started to regain his senses, but was still heavily injured to move his limbs. I walked over to him and grabbed him by the collar to make him answer my questions. As fate would have it, the man kept stating the obvious. I was about to knock him and go look for the others when Gray came rushing in with a frantic look on his face. He started explaining the real plan the guild was after in the first place.
This was bad, but now it turned worse. If we don't find a way out soon, the masters will be history for all we know. Just then I remembered that the shadow mage named Kage was the one who broke the seal for Lullaby. He might be a dispeller wizard or shadow one, but right now that doesn't fully matter. I explained to Gray and we headed towards the hallways to find Kage. Hopefully Natsu or Lucy found him, if not then it might take some time. Something we don't have the luxury of relaxing.
Natsu's POV
I was mad and fired up. Stupid Erza sent us to deal with Erigor and we can't even find him. I'm glad Ice stripper and I split ways or else we would've been fighting each other than the actual target. Here I am now running through the hallways bashing into every room with my magic, trying to find him. I broke into another when I noticed one of lackey's staring at me. He had spiky green hair, huge lips, tanned skin, and a red shirt. He had a very nervous look on his face and half his body was through the ground due to his magic. He noticed me and tried to get away, but my reflexes were faster and I punched him out of the ground and into a pile of boxes. Now on the ground with no way of getting out, I started to impatient and interrogated him on.
He spilled something that made my blood rage at high temperatures. I scared him that much. His task was to take out one of his own guild mates for the sake of the mission. I punched him square in the face with anger. These dark guilds treat their members and friends like absolute trash. They put priority on themselves than their friends. I will make every single member of this guild pay for treating their comrades as second class not on their level. I picked up the knocked dude, thinking he'd prove to be useful in spilling other information if I handed him to Erza. She is deadly scary when she is ticked off. I don't know how Lucy even knows her. Erza has always kept quiet about her past and we never bothered to ask. All she said was that she was in a bad situation and a little girl helped her out. So when Erza talked about Lucy, I was freaked out. That also means Lucy is seriously strong from what I heard about their conversation. When we get back, not only am I challenging Erza, but also Lucy. This will be the best fight ever and I'm totally winning. Best way to prove who's the better dragon slayer.
I made out of the room with the dude on my back and headed for the hallway. That's when I noticed Erza and Gray running up to me. They filled me on everything and I explained to them about this dude. They were furious as well and we could've killed the guy right then and there if it weren't for the fact we had bigger problems than this. Erza also had a grazed right arm, but I didn't question her because she was ticked. She suggested we find Lucy and see if she found this Kage or Doggie person. That's when we heard and felt the whole building shake countless times. Erza started running in the way she heard the most impact and we followed suit. I've seen Lucy use her magic one, but other than that it was all brains. I can't wait to challenge her.
Lucy's POV
Happy and I are running down an odd hallway before coming to a halt. The design of this was different than other parts of the station. I just lost the scent of that chubby guy, so now we might as well walk around aimlessly before we find him or the others. The hallway had a gray lined floor followed by the walls of the same interior. Luggage was scattered all around along with children's toys, hinting that they got the citizens out before they were harmed. The huge difference was that there were massive knight armors with swords, stuck to the wall. They reminded me of Erza and her fighting style. Speaking of her, she became a damn army general with requipping magic. If it weren't for the fact that Natsu challenged her first then I would've done it.
After stopping momentarily, we picked up faster before I got punched to the side, sending me towards the knight. Whoever hit me into the damn rustic metal armor is about to get hell on their life. In less than a second, the entire armor came crashing down on me before I got a look at who hit me while I heard Happy screaming my name. I am now stuck under a pile of metal, being squished by the heavy armor. I didn't waste time to use my magic, and burst through the rubble. I got up, and saw who decided to make me into a bowling ball for the knight. No surprise it was the shadow mage from twice.
"What the hell buddy! I thought you were going after my team," I growl at the idiot.
"Kage! The name's Kage! Your teammates should be lying on the ground right 'bout now thanks to my guild," Kage smirks at me. I jumped down from the rubble, and stood in front of him with Happy coming to my side.
"Happy get back"-starting to point at Kage-"As for you, tell me where the hell Erigor is?"
"If you want answers then you're going to have to beat it out of me."
"Sounds like music to my ears. Killing two birds with one stone, sign me up!" I lit up my fists and smirked. He sent his shadows at me again, but I simply used my arms to protect my chest and face while getting pushed back towards the rubble. This amateur is going down if he thinks his shadows are going to save him from my magic. He sent even more shadows towards my direction, and this time I dodged them easily. All of them came at me face first, and left no time for me to properly get out the way. Luckily, I just turned by body in a specific angle while I had my right hand on the floor, and missed the attack completely. Kage was getting madder by the second because I kept dodging while laughing as well as Happy. That's when Kage got fed up, and decided to use a different move entirely. He yelled out 'Shadow Snakes', and a ton of giant snakes came towards me. No point in dodging, so I used my magic.
I lit up my fists once more, and put my arms in a dodging position while I ran up to the snakes. I jumped up into the air with my arms in the back, making wings of the dragon, and sent the attack towards the snake. "Celestial Dragon: Wing Attack!" I yelled out, and wings made out of star energy collided with the snake. The collision had sent an impact towards me as I was slightly pushed back, and the building shook. That might attract attention, whether it was good or bad, was not in my mind. The smoke cleared, and I saw Kage completely terrified. I walked closer to him with my fists engulfed in star energy, and with a smirk on my face. He called me a monster before he got thrown into the wall, leading to another room, by me. I walked towards the whole in the wall to notice the rubble and smoke around him, and the area of my attack. He was slouched on the ground with scratches and dirt around him.
I asked him once more for Erigor's location to which he chuckled, and said that the man was already gone, and headed for Clover Town. This made me confused because the intentions didn't match up with the purpose. Then it clicked, the Guild Masters Conference was being held in Clover. If they wanted revenge then it would make sense to go after the ones who caused them pain. I was about to ask Kage for information to confirm my theory when I heard the others rushing towards me frantically. I noticed that Natsu was carrying the chubby man when the chubby used his magic and disappeared to the floor. We all got ready to attack him when Kage cried out in pain. We all turned to see the chubby man's hand pull out of Kage. Erza rushed towards Kage, and put him in her lap while she screamed to wake up. The three of us froze not knowing what to do with what just happened when Natsu lit up his fists, and dashed towards the chubby man with pure hate and anger, knocking out the mage in between the floor, cold. Gray sat beside Erza, trying to tell her it was hopeless with Kage, but reason doesn't even seem to faze her. She kept on babbling on how she was going to force Kage into using his magic to break the wind barrier outside which I had no knowledge about.
After getting some bandages and patching Kage up, we headed towards the balcony while Erza carried Kage. I noticed that the wind speeds fast and dangerous to pass through. I considered using Gray's ice magic, but that won't work for long before being torn to shreds. Natsu being the moron, decided that it was completely fine to start dash at the barrier with all his might. After a few attempts of him trying, I held him back, fearing he'd be torn to shreds if he didn't stop. That's when he turned his head towards me, and stares into my eyes with complete seriousness before yelling, causing me to hold my ears and smacking him. Natsu actually had a bright idea of going through the Spirit World. It wouldn't work because no one can survive, and it is a complete breach of privacy within the contract of the holder and spirit. And even if we did go through it, we would need another Celestial Wizard to open it for us to pass. I tried my best to explain to him, but he is hopeless.
That's when Happy screamed, causing me to repeat the same action with him. He started explaining that he got his hands on a Zodiac Key, Virgo. I scolded him for stealing the key from Everlue. On cue, Happy explained that the contract broke when the rich bastard got arrested, and she wanted to make a contract with me. That's when it hit. Virgo uses Earth Magic, so that means she could dig us a tunnel out of this place. I just hope that she doesn't mind doing this for me without a contract. From what I heard from Layla, Virgo is a loyal spirit with a weird obsession of wanting to be punished. Everyone noticed that I became quiet, and my eyes went wide. I demanded Happy for the key, and he gave it without much resistance. I told the others to back away. They moved back, and I held Virgo's key tightly in my hand. I turned my attention back to the group, asking them to start. Erza simply nodded with a tiny smile, which no one could see, and I followed by a single nod before turning my back. "I call upon thee in the world of the Celestial Spirits. And now I beckon you to my side at once, pass through the gate. Open gate of the Maiden, Virgo!" I chanted out, and held the key outwards while a golden magic circle was placed beneath me.
On cue, the spirit came out with all her glory. She had extremely pale skin, emotionless blue eyes, short bright pink hair, and small other facial features. She wore a black maid costume with the white apron taking up most of the middle of the dress. The sleeves were short, but designs around them looked like petals. She wore very high white socks with small black shoes, completing the interior. Followed by, shackles attached to chains on her arms, and tiara made of cloth on her head. She looked completely different from when I saw her last time. For one, she looked like a "gorilla" according to Natsu, but I'll have to admit she looked more like a man with pigtails than who she is now. The change however, isn't shocking at all. Due to the fact she is a loyal spirit, she often changes forms that would please the master.
"You summoned mistress, how can I help?" she asked sweetly in a gentle voice. The others looked confused as to why I summoned her, except Happy, he smirked. I ignored their stares and Happy's smirk, and focused my attention on Virgo.
"Yeah about that. I know we don't have a contract or anything, but would mind helping my friends and I?" I asked nervously, secretly hoping she'd accept. When I first summoned Aquarius without a contract asking for help, she threw a ten foot wave in my face. The thought makes my whole body shiver. I just hope Virgo doesn't reject or else there goes my whole plan down the drain.
"Of course mistress. How may I be of service?"
"I was wondering if you could use your magic and dig a hole out for us. Also please don't call me mistress. I don't like that."
"That can be done without a problem. Would mind if I called you princess then?"
"Not at all, in fact I think that's perfect. Thanks a lot for helping, once this mission is done, I promise to make a contract with you." She nodded, and used her magic to dig a hole. I turned back to see everyone confused. We got in the hole, walking a few minutes before we got out. The wind blew just as bad from the outside with having a hard time properly standing. I thanked Virgo for her help, and sent her back, giving my full attention to the team. We took Kage with us because it would look, feel for leaving him behind for dead.
We all stared a bit more at the barrier before Kage spoke out about them winning. If it weren't for the fact he is injured, I would've already punched the daylights out of him. That's also when we noticed that both Happy and Natsu disappeared. If I'm right then those two specifically Natsu, went after Erigor. I just hope they can stop it before it's too late. We didn't waste anymore time loitering around, and jumped into the Magic Mobile with Erza once again, driving herself to exhaustion. I opened the window when the car started, and felt myself becoming greener than grass. We better catch up to those meat heads for I myself have an urge to beat the hell out of something. The dark guild members were completely pathetic. I stared out to the scene with my limited, and render myself to my thoughts.
Narrator's POV
Farther away from our protagonists, lies Clover Canyon. It is rumored that its walls rise up, suffocating anyone who passes through it due to how deep it is. The only way to the town is a single train line. Currently, Erigor crouches upon the tracks, looking distantly at the line and area. He slowly stands up, admiring the wind brushing past his skin as he lets his thoughts run wild. The area is peacefully quiet with only the wind howling breaking the only silence from time to time. Erigor stares at his scythe before drawing his attention to Lullaby which resides in his free hand.
The tracks were old and rustic, showing its time from when it was built to now." Clover is so close now with my magic. Better off, the magic I used to create the wind barrier, is fully recharged," he speaks out loud. Talking to no one in particular, he uses his magic once again to fly up. "Those fools robbed us of our rights, and left us to be humiliated in front of the world. No more of that. They now will feel the Reaper's destruction." Speaking out loud once more, he then bursts through the air at tremendous speeds, leaving no one at his quake. Little did he know that a flying cat, carrying his partner, was just behind.
Farther up ahead, is the Guild Master Conference's building. The old building has faded orange walls with dark wooden roofs. The building has four pillar-like towers with dark wooden triangular roofs. The entrance has simple big double doors with big silver handles. Upon entering, numerous guilds across wherever attend the place. The walls are a simple shade of white with lined wooden ledges across the entire room. The ceiling follows the same as the walls, but the floors are cobblestone.
"Mackey I'm so jealous! Your wizards are so full of life, and not to mention cutie pies!" Bob, Master of the Blue Pegasus Guild, squeals. He has pale skined, leg hair, and an obese body. He also is entering his old age which is evident by his body. He is currently wearing a magenta tank top followed by a pink and purple striped shorts, and he is wearing magenta flats. On his back, he has small feathered wings followed by his blue guild mark on his right arm. He has make-up on followed by a gold circle and red bead necklace, and some hair on his chin. To clear up any confusion, he is a man. "I hear you got a new girl who beat up a few tough guys."
"Ah, you must be talking about Lucy, our newest recruit. She is a dragon slayer like Natsu, and not only that, but she has a body that won't quit," Makarov answered with a chicken in his hand, and a slight blush on his face.
"You're so naughty!"
"You shouldn't be laughing or making fun of her, Makarov. I heard she works for the council," a man with shades replied. He has dark golden hair, tanned skin, and dark clothing. He is also entering his old age, but relatively is difficult to say so. He wears a typical black wizard hat with a red band with spikes coming out of it. He also wears a red collar with spikes coming out of it as well. He is the Master of the Quatro Cerberus Guild, and his name is Goldmine. "That shouldn't also be your main concern. Your guild may be spirited, but they always go overboard. The council is also worried that some of your members might end up destroying a city."
Makarov became slightly surprised at what he learned. Lucy is a member of the council, yet didn't mention anything about it. He didn't want to believe it, but it would make sense. However, he is not worried. He knows that Lucy wouldn't dare to rat them out. Not when she wanted to join for a long time because of Erza. He chuckled before making a snarky comment about Lucy's body as reactions followed.
Moments later, a small blue bird with black wizard hat comes in with a letter in hand. Chirping out loud Makarov's name. The bird drops the letter in Makarov's hand before leaving. Makarov thanks the bird, and starts to unseal the letter by a few finger gestures. The letter draws out a small magic circle before showing a smiling Mirajane. She greets the Master, and Makarov ushers the rest to hurdle around him to eye Mirajane's body. A few flattering comments come out before going quiet for her to continue.
"Master, you wouldn't believe it! History has been made! Erza, Lucy, Natsu, and Gray have all teamed up. An interesting pairing, but I think they formed the strongest team in all of Fairy Tail!" Mira keeps chatting and screaming, but Makarov lost all the color on his face. His body goes limp as he processes what he hears from her. That's when he falls on his back, muttering out how the new team could actually destroy a city, and silently prays nothing major occurs before he returns.
Natsu's POV
Happy and I are flying at mach speed to catch up to Erigor. With adding the flames to my feet as Happy carries me, we are going even faster. A few minutes later, I spot my target flying, and muttering something before I called out to him in full fury. He turns his head with absolute shock to learn of my presence. Happy flies even faster before I use the flames of my feet to hit Erigor of course as Happy lets me go and falls. I land before him, giving me enough time to catch my exhausted buddy. I make sure he is all right before giving my attention to my target. No one gets away with hurting Gramps and lives.
"You're one of those Fairy Tail flies. What are you doing here?" Erigor asks as he recovers from his fall. In response, I make two fireballs in my hands with a smirk on my face. Like hell I'll let him pass me. Not only that, but this is the best way to beat up the sucker, and no one is getting in my way. He is the closest person I have to wanting to fight my own teammates.
"I'm gonna burn you and that flute to a crisp!" I yell out in frustration.
"You managed to break out of my wind barrier. I swear you flies can be such a nuisance. Here's a word of advice kid, get of my way before force you to." He didn't let me respond as he sent a gust of wind in my direction, blowing out my fire. I struggle against it before it overpowers me. Luckily, I quickly ignited my feet, sending me to the sky before coming down to where he is with my fists lit up. He dodges back, letting me hit the tracks instead. I swiftly lunge at him with my fists, but he blocks me with his scythe before he flies back up and away. Landing on the ground, I mock him for flying and, leaving me on the ground.
He replies something back before using his magic once more, however, it was different from his last attack. A tornado of wind summons beneath me, and reaches high into the sky, leaving me defenseless. The circling winds start spinning me with its same pattern before reaching the top slightly before shooting me out. Diving head first into the canyon, my body hits several rocks with tremendous pain. I apologize to Gramps for failing before my mind strikes with a memory.
I remember this one very clearly. Macao uses magic called Purple Flare in which he commands the fire to do what he wishes instead of burning it like my flames. He explained to me that I had to wish deep within my heart to make fire command to me. I never understood what he meant until now. I quickly put my right fist out, turning towards the sky, and I light it before wishing it would become a grappling hook for me to jump to tracks on. Just like that it works, the fire bursts out into a hand-like structure before shooting towards the sky. I feel it grab something, allowing me to use the fire on my feet to jump into the air.
I jump high into the air before landing on the tracks feeling proud of my discovery. My buddy is relieved that I am alive while Erigor scowls at me. Clenching my fists, I look at Erigor before taunting him. "You look cold up there, half naked. Want me to warm you up?" He mutters something, but I don't care. I pound my fists together, and yell out. "Fire Dragon: Roar!" I use my hands as a tunnel for me to carry out my roar of flames towards him. He uses a defense spell to stop my attack, leaving it with just smoke. He looks at me with agitation as I smirk at him.
"Your powers are impressive indeed. I must say this might prove to be a little challenging. However, I think we should stop playing cat and mouse, and become serious." He challenges me with a grim and evil look on his face.
"Ready when you are!" That's when he shouts out 'Storm Mail' as a gust of howling wind surrounds him. I charge at him with my lit up fist, only to be knocked away.
"What's wrong? Can't handle the breeze?"
"You just had to go to wrap yourself in a wind barrier."I smirk at him before charging." That doesn't matter!"-lighting up my right fist-"This should finish you off! Fire Dragon: Iron Fist!" My fist meets with his left before my fire is blown out by his wind, leaving me with shock. I mutter something before he comments about my flames. I deny it, but in return his wind gets stronger, and pushes me away.
"Unfortunately for you, the power of my Storm Mail attack allows my wind to flow outwards. Get too close to me, and your fire is gone!" I deny it once more before he rises up in the air once again. The wind starts spreading all over, and blowing fast, leaving me to struggle against its power. He makes a comment again, but I choose to ignore it. If I am being honest right now then I'd say I'm inside a typhoon right now.
He then uses something called 'Storm Shreds', and a bunch of wind sliced attacks come at me. I jump into the air with my magic while doing both left and right to the attack before nearing him. I near him with my flames, only for it to be blown out quickly by the wind, tumbling roughly towards the tracks. I crouch feeling agitated that my flames are nothing to this moron. He notices, and starts to tease me again. "Don't worry my boy, I'll do this quick for you. My Soaring Phoenix Magic rips everything into shreds"-getting into a 'T' position-"Emera Barem!"
Five magic circles come out with four circling the fifth one which is in the middle. Happy yells at me to watch out as it turns out the magic is definitely powerful. That's when a tsunami-like wind comes charging at me, leaving me to take the attack full on. It hit my body as I knocked backwards, facing the ground. That hurt like hell, and I can barely feel my body after that. But I'm not going to give up that easy when so much is already on the line.
Erigor continues to mock me, but I don't give a damn anymore. Anger flushes my body as I stand up, removing my vest, leaving me half naked. Shock overwhelms when he sees me standing up, furious with my fists lit up. I charge at him once more, only to be moved away. Performing a backflip in mid-air, I land on my feet to a point of frustration. I grab ahold of whatever is left of the track, and tighten my grip on the hit. I let my body become into flames as I let out my anger and frustrations.
I yell out louder and louder, becoming even angrier than before to finish off this idiot. His wind keeps putting out my fire, and overpowering me. I will not let him win any longer! I don't even notice that my flames start to spread around everywhere as the winds slowly die down. Becoming infuriated, I rip apart a single piece of metal with my bare hands. I slowly start to notice that the winds are starting to move towards me. That's when I hear Happy call out to me. "Hey Natsu, you stink. You should totally leave this to Gray!"
Shocks rips apart my body as I hear Happy speak those words to me. When the shock dies down, I let myself become a roaring monster. I will never ever let Gray Fullbuster handle one of my battles when I am capable of handling my own. I notice that Erigor's winds die out, and I have no idea how, but I only know that my flames were the cause. Now it is time for the final blow. As my fire reaches a boiling point. I lunge at him. My head hits his stomach at a dangerous speed as I hear him gasp out in shock and pain. "Fire Dragon: Sword Horn!" I yell out. Settling down my left foot for only a moment, his body comes forward from the attack, and I take advantage of that as I send my right leg into his stomach. In the split second he goes up, I redirect my body, and use my left foot to send him flying into the air.
He lands face first into the tracks, fully unconscious with burns all around his body. I stand proudly before him while questioning Happy about my performance. He cheers and compliments before I question him for doubting me. We exchange a few words before I smile, knowing that I still won in the end. Little did I know, Lullaby landed on the ground with purple glowing eyes. I hear my name being called, and turn to see the others.
Erza is driving the magic car close and stops. An irritable Gray and a green Lucy pops out with an injured Kage. I'm glad they saw it my way not to leave the enemy behind. Gray somehow loses his shirt already, and I notice that even though Lucy looks like she might faint any moment, she wraps her arm around Erza, making sure everything was all right. I smile at them before bragging about how I won, leaving Kage shocked and the others cheering me.
"You had trouble with his guy?" Gray asks, trying to annoy me.
"No way!" I yell back at him with my arms crossed.
"Wearing a scarf half-naked, you look like a pervert now."
"You're no better!" I turn my head away from before turning to Lucy. "Lucy gimme your clothes."
"You wanna die flame-brain!" she yells at me angrily. Everyone laughs for a moment before Erza compliments me, and we all smile. Erza suggests we go to Clover, and pay Gramps a visit to tell him about everything, and ask about the flute. We all agreed before having to dodge the flying car which had shadow hands coming out of it. We all see Kage driving it with Lullaby in the hands of the shadow, and yell at him. Before we could say anything further, he drives off fast, and far for him to hear us. I sigh, knowing we still have to deal with him and the flute. But I am glad we don't have to ride a vehicle.
Narrator's POV
As Kage drives down the tracks at vigorous speeds, the day soon falls out, and the night sky rises. Time being of the essence of this whole ordeal, each side races to complete their intended task with the outcome showing clear defeat to one of the sides.
Near Clover, an army of Rune Knights approach the town with great numbers. The knights are wearing a gray head scarf, and a mental covering on the top. The middle of the clothing is a dark blue and yellow striped pattern, going down vertically. Arms are an old shade of gray with a slightly darker shade of gray on the gloves. They also are wearing brown boots that reach up to the knee. They are riding on slightly oversized iguanas that have a metal protection between its nose. The face is covered with straps that are supporting the rider. The saddle is customized with the Fiore.
The knights are also carrying spears, which have a wooden handle while the spear is sharp. The middle of the arrow-like part, is a large blue gem that doesn't interfere with fighting. The arrow-like part is divided into two with the outer a darker shade of gray that connects to the handle. At the ending of the arrow-like figure contains a gold strapping which is then followed by a red skirt-like shape which was made out of cloth. The men are charging north towards the town with determination in their hearts to take down Eisenwald, and stop Lullaby.
Returning back to Kage, he has reached a cliff which overlooks the conference buildings of the masters. He holds Lullaby tightly in his handwhile he gazes upon the building. He feels a smile come upon his face in realization that the plan has been set into motion. Despite his master's loss, he would be sure to continue what they had all set out to do in the first place. He becomes fully entranced in his thoughts that when he hears kissing sounds coming from behind him, he loses his cool posture.
He turns around to see a small old man with an issue of Sorcerer Weekly. The old man looks very flirtatious towards the cover, glancing upon the power, yet gorgeous woman. He is so indulged in it that he fails to notice another person. He makes one more comment about it before starting to head back to the building. Only when he starts walking back, he glances slightly behind him to notice an injured man holding a flute looking confused.
Kage looks at the other person confused and conflicted with the situation. The old man starts to ramble how he was only looking at the magazine for information on female wizards, and nothing else. Kage cuts the rambling, ushering to the person that it was no issue. That is when he looks at the man, realizing that Makarov, leader of the Fairy Tail Guild, is right there. He gets the idea of playing the flute to kill the leader first then the rest. He asks Makarov to play the flute, making up a lie that it wasn't to play at the hospital, and that it is honorable for someone to hear it.
Makarov agrees with suspicion. He comments about the flute, and the man's condition, but ushers the young man to start playing. Kage brings the flute closer to him, but not too close for the air to enter it. He takes a deep breath before stopping hesitantly. He hears the voices of his master and guildmates. Their determination to bring retribution of their reputation. He brings the flute closer again, but stops to hear the voices of Fairy Tail. They look at life differently than anyone he has ever known. He feels his hesitation grow deeper.
At this point, he tries to convince himself once more to play it, but he can't seem to find the strength in doing so. It wasn't that he was weak, but it was that the thoughts of two opposing forces clash his brain.
Lucy's POV
We finally get to Clover by running all the way. I am half glad we didn't have to ride a vehicle, but it has its disadvantages. We got to a tiny cliff to see Makarov with Kage who was holding Lullaby. We yelled out for master, but we were stopped by a bald guy. He looks familiar, but also very strange. He tells us to hush up, but the boys and I back up by his presence. He goes closer to the boys to which their response to back away further while I hide behind Erza. I ask who he is in which she tells me that he is Master Bob. Oh him! How the hell did he become a guild leader?!
Erza tries to call out to Master again, but is stopped by Goldmine. I met him a while back when I was on a mission. It's good to see him in condition over the years. I approach and greet him which everyone looks at me crazy. I don't blame them, but a lot can happen in eight years. "How's the guild?" I ask, making conversation.
"Better, but rowdy. Though I suggest you shut up because you and your friends will ruin a good part," he commands us. All of us shut up, but I can feel Erza glaring at me murderously. The boys also feel the aura she is emitting, and we back away from her instantly. I don't know what her deal is, but I want to live rather than die.
That's when we notice the Master giving a lecture. Kage listens intently to it before dropping the flute, and surrendering. We all cheer, and run to Master with smiles. He scolds us for being in Clover, but is cut off when his body is forcefully shoved into Erza's armor as she hugs him strongly. We all scatter around, and I kneel beside Kage to make sure he is fine because of what happened and injuries.
We were so caught up in the victory that we failed to notice Lullaby. That's when the demon within it, starts to talk and glow. Shock was written on all our faces from what just happened, and my heart started to speed up slightly faster. The last time I heard the name, and saw what it looks like in it's true form was from six months ago. Erza notices my fear cripping into me, and grips my hand tightly as reassurance. I smile at her brightly for even becoming fearful before that is replaced with a smirk. Nothing better than to beat the demon into extermination. A gigantic magic circle appears in the sky with purple lightning and smoke. That's when Lullaby sets foot upon the ground. The beast looks like a tree monster with holes in its abdomen, and three purple glowing eyes on its head. The head looks like spiky hair that is covered with gel to make it go backwards with it hanging out at the end. It is hunched over with several wooden spikes coming out of its arms and back. Not to mention it's mouth is wide open, and is a giant.
I notice the Guild Masters running out of the building, away from Lullaby as fast as possible. The voice of the demon sounded like a woman with a horrible gruffy morning voice. It is beyond me to understand why Zeref created it like this, but then again he has several other demons just like this. His speciality is living black magic. The others start asking about its form, and Goldmine explains it to them. Lullaby comes closer to us while we get into battle position. It mocks continuously for our failed efforts, but we just stay silent. This moron will be the death of us one day. Erza orders the boys to get everyone to a safe location to which they complain. Only to obey the command when a murderous glare reaches them.
I stand beside Erza while glaring at the demon for even thinking of eating us. The only thing it will even think about is how much pain it will be in by the time we rough it shape. Lullaby hears the Fiore army that arrived, and blasted a giant ball of energy towards a mountain in their direction. The light from the attack not only blinded us, but threw us back a bit. That's when I hear the army backing away before Lullaby gathers its attention to us. We stare at it before I start smirking. Erza summons two swords into her arm, and waits a second for us to attack her. She lunges forward, and into the sky with us following behind.
Lullaby then yells out a powerful sound, getting ready to attack. We didn't mind it much and continued. Erza requips into her Heaven's Wheel armor, and slashes the beast in the left part of the chest, pushing her to the side for us to attack. Gray lands on the ground, and punches his left fist into the palm of his right hand, creating ice lances, which attacked its chest. Screaming out in pain, Natsu and I follow with our fists lit up in magic. He uses his fist to punch the left cheek while I use my fist to punch the right side of its ribcage. The demon falls back tremendously from our attacks, but still is standing.
Natsu punched its chest followed by Gray using his lances to attack the feet. Erza and I took each arm, and punched it harshly. Combining the attack which was done at once, Lullaby got pushed back more, and we landed on the ground. We didn't stand on it long before jumping into the air to dodge the swipe of the demon's arm which destroyed the place we stood on. Erza then slashed its left leg before landing on the ground. Gray followed by using a bow of ice as shards of ice violently attack the feet. Natsu and I once again used our wing attack to strike the chest with a devastating blow, creating a massive ball of light. We all landed on the ground when we noticed that Lullaby arches its back, and draws its head backward.
The magic circle in the sky disappeared as a loud screeching sound took its place. Lullaby was ready to use its song to kill us all, but I don't think it can. With all the holes it has in its body, it'll be an embarrassing site, but I'll let it humiliate itself before we finish it off. It takes in the energy of the life around it, killing the natural environment before it releases a loud howl, starting to sing. Only when the notes of the song come out of the holes in its body. I start laughing uncontrollably, causing Erza to glare at me to shut up, but I don't even care. She comes closer to me, and bangs me on the head, instantly shutting me up. I growl at her to which she just smirks, growling even more at her.
Lullaby looks completely in shock at what happened, and Happy and I mock it. The shock wears off, and it kicks a random mountain in frustration before its eyes glowed toward the people. Gray ran over in time to create an ice shield, protecting the people from the fire that it shot out of its eyes. The blistering fire surrounded the area, but I stopped caring, and started looking at the sky. The moon is up high, shining bright with its stars. Nothing better than the energy it was giving. I started eating the star energy as I noticed Natsu eating the fire. We both finish up eating our elements before Lullaby punched with its arms in our direction. We both climbed, and ran up each arm before leaping into the air.
Erza requipped again into a different armor. It has black wings of a bat, and the rest of the armor is black with several silver markings. The shoulders have parts of armor as well as the arms and legs, and her hips, which are not stuck to it, but parts slightly from it. Her middle part of the armor is completely exposed in which her breasts were shown with her bra on. Her abdomen is showing off her silky skin, and her underwear is showing. Something in my stomach twists when I see her in that armor. I'm probably crazy, but who knows. I hear the men swoon over her, making me frown. They are saying that the armor amplifies the attack even more. She slashes Lullaby shoulder, flying away from it. Gray makes a saucer, sending it to the left kidney, shattering it completely. Both of them call out to us to finish it off.
Natsu starts gathering both his hands in flames creating a big fireball while pounding both of the sides of my hands together with my palms showing out towards the demon. This attack is particularly powerful because I'm concentrating the energy into a massive beam of like massive ball of energy, but this time a laser.
"Fire Dragon: Brilliant Flame!" Natsu yells out.
"Celestial Dragon: Shattering Beam!" I yell out, and both of the attacks combine into one, and hit face and chest in one. A beam of light is shot into the sky as Lullaby dismantles from our attack. Small particles come out in the air as the demon completely disappeared into thin air. We all come near each other as the smoke clears with a firm look. I hear everyone compliment us while I sigh out in relief. Taking out a demon from the books of Zeref seemed easy, but I have a feeling that this is just the beginning. Master and Happy come over to us, and we all share a laugh about how easy it was to beat it. Erza requips back into her normal armor, and swings her left over my shoulder, bringing me close, but not enough to hurt me. She smiles at me, and I give her one of my toothy grins she is extremely fond of. I see her blush and move her face away while I laugh at her. Next thing I know, a metal fist contacts my stomach, and I fall on the ground grunting. Everyone else laughs while I glare at her. The laughter ends when we all turn around to see a massive hole in the ground where the conference building was.
I see Master's soul leave his body, and I become pale. The council won't let me hear the last of this even with Siegrain and Ultear's help. Top that with both of their lectures about not seeing them for a few months, and I might as well be in hell. The angry crowd wasn't happy with our performance, and I saw Erza chasing Makarov's soul, begging to be forgiven. We all started running away with me carrying our Master on my back. I can't help but smile like a kid. I haven't had this much fun since I met Erza, Jellal, and Wendy. It brings back so many memories that I wish I could cry. I look back to see Erza smile at me, probably thinking the same thing. This sounds like the beginning of an awesome adventure.
So the First Arc is over, and we move onto Galuna. I already have a few ideas for how I'm gonna twist that one. Sorry for changing the writing style halfway through the chapter. I'm still experimenting and this is my first time writing fanfiction. The way I build up their relationship will be slow because I just don't want to rush in with no character development. So if at times if it feels like they're not going to get together then I'm sorry, but that's how it will be. I have a plan as to when they will confess, but it is still far from now because of certain arcs.
As the most of you can tell, the story will follow the manga and anime. The story will be long, but I'll try my best to keep it interesting as much as possible. I will be creating my own arcs into this because for the sake of my plot.
My upload schedule is currently all over the place because I'm in high school. I'll upload when I can and when I want to write. Don't worry about it discontinuing. All I know there will be some hiatuses, but nothing too major for discontinuation.
This story is also on Wattpad as it is slightly ahead, but for the most part it's the same. I'll add the rest of the chapters soon.
At the end of chapter, there might or might not be some small notes and maybe some comments to the reviews. I'm super happy for the support I'm getting so far. I didn't think I'd get this much attention so early on, but I'm not complaining.
The story will get into some heavy topics soon, and I might change the rating if necessary. There will be NO SEX SCENES. I will write about the making out scenes and before they do the sex, but nothing during it. So, don't worry about that.
Thanks for reading the chapter. If you liked it, then do whatever you feel is right. If you have any questions and or problems with the story, feel free to let me know about them. I understand criticism, but please be constructive than downright hate. If you don't like the story, then don't read it. No one is forcing anything.
