Lucky POV

I'm so excited! It has been a while since I have seen Erza, last I saw her she was going on an A-Class quest. Deciding to surprise her, I climb up the wall next to the door and cling to the wall above it, ready to drop down on her when I see her. I could hear the thuds of her footsteps and could see her shadow approach the door. It looks like she is carrying something super big.

Eventually, she came in wearing her usual armor and was carrying a giant horn in which the bottom was decorated with gold and gems. "I have returned, where is Master?" I could see Lucy freaking out about how she was carrying the horn like it was nothing. "Welcome back Erza, Master is out at a meeting at the moment."

Ezra nodded. A random member seemed to build up enough courage to ask "Erza what is that?" she turned to him "It is the horn of a creature I slew, the villagers were so grateful they decorated it for me. Got a problem with it?" the members around her tensed up and said in unison "No ma'am!" from here I could see Macao sweating, probably worried that she heard about what happened on Mt. Hakobe.

"All of you! I heard a bunch of rumors while I was gone, about how Fairy Tail keeps causing problems. Master might forgive you, but I will not! Cana!" Cana stopped drinking in surprise. "How dare you drink in an undignified manner! Vijeeter!" the man tensed from his position on the tabletop "Yes!" Erza closed her eyes "Take your dancing outside. Wakaba. Quit that filthy habit already."

To me, those last two didn't make sense since they both tied in with their magic. Wakaba uses smoke magic, and Vijeeter uses dance magic so telling them to take it outside or to stop doesn't make much sense. However, Erza wasn't done just yet. "Nab! Just hesitating in front of the request board as usual? Take a job!" and finally she turned to Macao.

"Macao!" she did not say anything, she just sighed and looked away. "Just say something already!' her silence seems to have unnerved Macao. "Man you all give me such trouble. I'll let it slide today without saying anything." I mentally snickered at her words. I had to keep quiet since I have been creeping along the roof staying above her, looking for the perfect moment to drop.

I could see Lucy standing next to Happy and was whispering to him, probably too nervous to speak too loudly with Erza so close to her. "Are Natsu, Gray and Lucky here?" Ezra asked. Seeing this as my moment, I drop down from the roof above her, turning as I fell so I don't land on my back and land on her back instead, making both of us fell to the ground.

Seeing as I surprised her she let out a "Kya!" the entire guild went dead quiet as everyone tensed, trying to both hold in their laughter, and to try and not incur her wrath. Smoothly she stood back up, with me clinging to her armor and I said "I'm right here Erza, did you bring me back a new stick?" she looked back at me over her shoulder and responded with "Yes, I found a tree that had wood as tough as iron, I brought you back a stick and a sapling."

I could probably hear everyone mentally yelling "She is acting as nothing happened!". I grinned in anticipation and said "that sounds awesome! I wonder if I can grow the wood from that tree and incorporate it into my scales next time I molt!" Ezra nodded and added in "That sounds like a wonderful idea. Now, where are Natsu and Gray."

She turned her head from me and looked around only to see the two standing there with an arm over each other's shoulder and clasping their free hands in front of themselves. "H-Hey Erza were getting along wonderfully today, as always!" Gray nervously said to her, Natsu chimed in with a high pitched "Aye, sir!" You could see that the two were sweating profusely.

"Natsu is acting like Happy!" Lucy exclaimed in surprise, you would think she'd be used to the weird by now being in our guild. Mira decided to explain to Lucy why Natsu was acting like this, Macao and Cana added why Gray and Loke did as well. I tuned them out since I was there to see it. "Natsu, Gray, Lucky, I have a favor to ask you three. I heard a troubling story after my last mission. Honestly, this is something for Master to solve, but since he isn't here, I decided to solve it myself."

I wrap my tail around her waist, this seems very important since she is not only making important decisions without Master here but is also asking us three to join her. "I want you three to lend me your power, will you come with me?" This caused those that were listening in on the conversation, which was the entire guild, to break out into murmurs. "We leave tomorrow morning, prepare yourselves."

"Erza, Natsu, Gray, and Lucky. I never would have imagined it before, but this might be Fairy Tail's ultimate team." I think about what she said. It's true, with our combined powers, we might even be able to take out the Thunder Legion. It appears that the revelation spiked a bunch of murmuring.

Thankfully it was almost time to close up the guild, so people started to filter out so we can start to clean and repair things. Soon it was just me left in the guild, so I did my nightly rounds and went to bed, not before looking at the stars for a while that is.

In the morning

Erza came in extra early with her luggage cart, seeing as I normally wake up a bit past when everyone comes in, and not as soon as the guild opens, Erza had to come up to the second floor to wake me up. She did so by poking me with the stick she had mentioned yesterday. I just turned my head and took a bite from it, when I tasted the flavor of the stick, I woke up a little more so I can look at what I had just eaten.

Seeing the stick being held by Erza I stood up and stretched. "Thanks for waking me up." I then took the stick she was still holding out to me and took another bite from it. "Let's go, we have to meet the others at the train station." I just nodded since my mouth was full. The stick tasted like that one time I tried to eat iron a few years ago, let's just say it did not end well.

Anyway, I and Erza made our way downstairs and waved at Mira, who was prepping the bar to open. We made our way towards the front where her luggage cart was and moved a few of them so I can get into my little hidey-hole. Once I was inside I helped her put the luggage back into place and settled down for a trip to the train station.

It took a bit to get there, but once we did I could faintly hear Erza talking to Natsu and Gray. I could occasionally hear what sounds like Lucy and Happy. What Lucy is doing here, I have no clue. Eventually, the talking ended and we boarded the train, well in my case, I was stowed away while the others boarded.

The train ride was long and boring, but I used the time to practice with the new Ironwood. When I eat a new kind of plant, be it wood or otherwise, I can replicate it with enough practice. I am thinking I can use this wood for making shields to protect people, or maybe to trap someone. After a few stops, it seems like we reached our destination. I could tell as the cart started to move and I could hear Erza's voice outside it.

I could hear Erza talking to Gray and Lucy about something, with Happy chiming in. I couldn't hear Natsu, though that might be because he is sick again. His motion sickness knows no bounds. Eventually, the voices were louder and a bit more panicked sounding, sadly I can't hear what they are saying as the luggage muffles everything.

Soon the cart took off and came to an abrupt stop. I hate when Ezra does this because I get no warning and I end up slamming into the walls. It doesn't hurt, but it is annoying. I huff but keep quiet since I don't know where we are and if there are any people around. I tried to speak to Erza once while in here, and people thought she was trying to kidnap a kid.

Thankfully I could hear the luggage get moved around, meaning I could get out. I climb out of the compartment to see Erza, Lucy, Gray, and Happy, but no Natsu. I look at Erza and say "You guys left him on the train didn't you?" This seems to set Erza off "I'm such a fool, I forgot that he can't move after an extended train ride and left him there. My actions are inexcusable, please hit me."

I just shake my head at her and look around. We are in the back alley of what appears to be a hotel, with a magic mobile nearby. "So I'm guessing I have to get in the car now?" Lucy chose to respond. "Yes, we need to follow the train that Natsu is on. I'll explain the situation on our way there." I nod and turn to Erza "Go ahead and get your cart inside, well get in the car as you do."

She nodded and replaced the moved suitcases before pulling the cart around the building to take it inside. As she did, we climbed inside, as we did, I saw Gray climb up top for some reason. Once everyone was settled, and Erza came back, we shot off like a rocket. We left town and followed the train tracks to try and catch up with the train. On our way there Lucy did as she said and explained everything to me.

Thankfully the train hadn't gone too far and we caught up quickly. Well, I say caught up, but Natsu just jumped out of one of the windows and landed on Gray. We had to stop since Natsu had knocked Gray off of the top of the car. When we got back to the two, they were bickering as usual. "That hurt you jerk!" "Shut up, you left me behind!" Erza decided to cut in "That we did, At least you are unhurt. Somehow."

She slammed Natsu's head into her armored chest with a clank. "Somehow? I got into a fight with some weird guy on the train. It was the guy who grabbed the Happy eaters in the forest." I tilt my head, not knowing anything about people trying to eat Happy. "He said he was part of Eisenwald or something." This seems to trigger Erza seeing as she slapped him across the face. "You idiot! Eisenwald are the people we are after! How could you let him escape from under your nose like that?"

This confused Natsu, seeing as he was knocked out by Erza, that makes sense. "This is the first time I heard about it." this made Erza even madder. "I explained everything on the train, weren't you listening?" I could see Lucy and Gray sweatdrop at her questioning. Deciding to spare Natsu from Erza's wrath I spoke up. "Lucy tells me you knocked him unconscious a little after you first got on the train, how would he have known about what you talked about?"

This seemed to snap Erza out of her rage and apologize to Natsu. "Can you tell us anything about the one you saw?" I asked. "yeah, he used shadow magic and had this weird flute thing, looked like a skull with three eyes." This gave Lucy an idea of what we were facing. "That sounds like Lullaby the death flute. Anyone who hears the music it plays will die instantly. Its death magic!"

I'm shocked, and by the looks of everyone around me, they are too. Although it makes sense that is something a dark guild would want, especially a guild run by Erigor the Reaper. I look to Erza and say "I'm going to fly to Clover to warn Master and the other Guild masters about Eisenwald having Lullaby, they need to know that Eisenwald has something so powerful."

They all nodded and Erza said "They should know in case we are too late to stop them." the others started to climb into the magic mobile as I took off, flying as high as I can, and following the tracks to where Clover is. Hopefully, I get there in time to let the masters know something is up before it gets too late. It might prepare him for the eventual collateral damage bill he will inevitably receive.
