The Salamander and The Mirage
Chapter 5
The group consisting of Natsu, Shiro, Erza Gray, Happy and Kurona, and last Lucy were driving through a town that the next station was located aka Oshibama Station.
Shiro had Sayla in his lap again, and Gray was trying to keep Natsu from falling out the window per Erza's orders. And Lucy wasn't doing anything at the moment Happy and Kurona were having small talk until Happy started to stare at Lucy.
"Why are you staring at me?" Lucy asked.
"I feel like I need to tell you something Lucy." Happy said in a thinking position.
"What is it?" Lucy asked
"I don't know. I was important, was it that your weird, fat, or ugly?" Happy asked aloud causing Lucy to get angry.
"Shut up you stupid cat I'm not ugly, fat, or weird!" Lucy defended.
Kurona sat there next to Happy and just watched the scene unfold.
"Everyone we're almost at the station." Erza said.
The group arrived at the station and finally got in after Erza beat about half the guards down since they didn't answer fast enough.
They now stood in front of the Eisenwald Guild.
"Hello there Fairy Tail Flies." A man with white hair carrying a scythe said.
"You must Erigor the Shinigam correct?" Erza said with a mild glare.
"Correct Titania." Erigor said
"Why are you doing this to innocent people!?" Erza asked.
"We are doing this to get revenge on those who toke our rights away from us and to punish those who turned a blind eye to the worlds injustice." Erigor said
"You guys are insane! That wouldn't help you ever get your rights back!" Lucy said surprisingly
"We don't want them back, all we want is power! Power to bring the world to it's knees!" Erigor shouted as all the members of Eisenwald cheered along with him.
"We won't let you get away with this?!" Shiro yelled at Erigor.
"You want to stop me then come on then flies!" Erigor shouted as he disappeared in a gust of wind.
"Natsu! Gray! Go after Erigor!" Shiro, Sayla, Lucy and I will handle Eisenwald!" Erza ordered. The two then speed off into the station. Two of the Eisenwald members ran in pursuit of Natsu and Gray. One had a pharaoh like headpiece while the other was Kageyama, the same guy who said he wanted to make Erza his bitch.
"Ohh Sorry ladies but when we're done with ya you won't be as cute." "I can't wait to beat down that pretty boy there!" The Eisenwald members said.
"Let's take this guys down!" Shiro said now a little pissed off.
"Twilight Dragon's Roar!" Shiro yelled as a torrent of black and white aura shot out of his mouth heading straight toward the Eisenwald members. The attack caused an explosion sending multiple members flying. Shiro smirked admiring his work.
"I see you have gotten stronger Shiro." Erza said praising Shiro. "Now it time for me to fight as well. Re:quip!" Erza said as she her hand was cloaked in a golden light. The light vanished and in its place was a magic sword. "Big deal Lady, we've got plenty of magic swordmen in our guild too." One of the Eisenwald thugs yelled as the Drew their swords. Erza charged the thugs and slashed 3 times sending many flying with every slash. "Re:quip!" Erza said as her sword was cloaked in the same light as before and changed into a spear.
Erza slammed the spear on the ground creating a shockwave launching more people away. Shiro, on the other side fighting members. "Twilight Dragon's Sonic Boomburst!" Shiro yelled charging his hands with magic before slamming them into the ground creating a shockwave sending all the surrounding members flying into the nearby and not so nearby walls.
Lucy and Sayla with Kurona on her head watched the fight in awe. Sayla remembered how Shiro fought to protect her. Lucy was amazed by Erza's Strength. Kurona just watched and laughed at how some of the members were beaten down by Happy wielding a fish.
"I gotta get in this fight too." Lucy said talking out a golden celestial key. "Open Gate of the Crab: Cancer!" Lucy said as a gold magic circle appeared in front of her and in a bright light a crab like man or man like crab with crabby scissors and sun glasses. "Baby" Cancer said, "do you want me to take care of these guys baby?"
"Yeah take them down!" Lucy said and with her word Cancer dashed at the thugs that were close to Lucy and Sayla and cut off all their hair and shattered their swords. "My hair!" They now bald thugs screamed. Sayla seeing this didn't want Shiro to think less of her for not helping decide to engage the enemy as well. Sayla charged some magic and then chanted, "Demon Arrows!" Sayla said as a dark purple magic circle( Oh! #Bars) appeared and fired multiple purple arrow like projectiles at the members that had the hair cut, blasting all of them away.
"Whoa!" Lucy said shocked that even Sayla was stronger than her. Shiro looked at Sayla excitement in his voice said, "Wow nice shot Sayla!". Sayla blushed and looked away and whispered a soft "thank you.", but Shiro still heard her with his dragon slayer hearing.
"Shiro Lets finish this it will be troublesome if we take our time." Erza said to Shiro.
"Yes ma'am" Shrio said. Erza was then cloaked in a golden light that shines all over her body,"Re:quip: Heaven's Wheel Armor!" Erza said as she now wore a angel like armor with with steel wings a feather like breastplate that only covered her large assets and left her stomach exposed. A headband with two feathers coming from the sides. And her skirt with steel platings, all in all she was an angel.
One of the Eisenwald members recognized her, "Uhh Guys I remember who she is, She's Titania Erza the QUEEN OF FAIRES!" The member yelled running away from the crowd in fear. Erza began to fly into the air until she was completely flying above them all. Erza requiped Swords in a circular pattern all around her. "Now dance my swords!"Erza yelled as the swords started to spin rapidly. "Circle Sword!" Erza yelled as the spinning wheel of swords launched forward and flew in all directions taking almost every member out.
"Let's kick it up a knotch!" Shiro said charging his magic. Shiro runs forward and jumps into the air before swiping his arms forward, "Twilight Dragon's Wing Attack!" Shiro yelled as his magic made whips that defeated all remaining members.
As all of the members were defeated, Erza said, "Shiro go after that guys who ran off and take Lucy and Sayla with you." Shiro replied with a yes ma'am and ran off into the station with Lucy and Sayla in tow. As soon as they were out of sight Erza collapsed one knee, "Gray was right…I was using to much magic." "Gray, Natsu, don't fail me." Erza said.
During The Brawl….
Gray and Natsu were running through the station. "What was Erza thinking making me work with you?" "Yea what was going through her head?" "For once we agree on something." "Hey quit copying me!" Natsu and Gray yelled in unison. They two continued to run and argue until they hit a fork in the road. "I'll go right and you go left ice princess!" Natsu yelled. "I got left and you go right ash breath!" Gray yelled. They turned to go their separate ways, but turned back around and fist bumped. "Natsu if you see Erigor give him a thrashing." Gray said. "Yea don't worry about me and same to you Gray." Natsu said. The two separated and headed their own ways.
Gray as running down the hallway to the left and came to the broadcast studio room with a speaker and all. He kicked the door in and found no one. "Weird this would be an ideal place to play lullaby.." Gray said as he walked to the center of the room. Little did he know someone was waiting for him "Haah!" A voice said a Gray was suddenly almost restrained by some sort of black tape. Gray looked at the direction of the tape to see a man with a pharaoh headpiece smirking.
"Good job fly this would be a good place to broadcast Lullaby, I the Great Rayule will stop you " he said. Gray beagan to fight the pharaoh fake. He got bored quickly cause the guy keep bragging about how Einsenwald is the strongest and decide to end it. Another atack was incoming and Gray decided to block. "Ice Make: Shield!" He yelled as a shield made of ice appeared in front of him block the urumi swords(In the sub that's what there called just rewatched it) completely. He then counter attack the pharaoh fake with an"Ice Make: Knuckle" he said as Icey fist rose from the ground hitting Rayule sending him through the wall.
"Tell me what your real plan is!" Gray said. Rayule merely smirked, "The wind wall should be up now. "What do you mean?" Gray asked. The pharaoh fake put on a shit eating grin. "We only made a cave to trap the flies. "We only took the station to stop all traffic to the final stop….Clover Station." "Why would you go to clover!?" Gray asked. "Come on think really hard." Rayule said which caused realization to sink into Grays head, "Clover is where gramps and the other masters are have a meeting. They cannot be trying to take them out with lullaby are they?" Gray said to himself. His thoughts were interrupted by Rayule using his urumi swords to attack,"Your wide open fly!" He said. He continued to attack gray and now had him restrained by his hands. "Ha you flys aren't going anywhere!" Gray had enough of this guy as he focused his magic causing the temperature in the room to drop. The fake pharaoh's urumi swords froze and broke apart . Gray walked to the man as ice started to encase the mans feet. "We are going to stop you." He said putting his hand on the mans face. "That geezer may be old, but he's the closet thing we have to parents." Gray said freezing the man completely.
Gray begins to walk away and says while walking, "We will show you a guild more terrifying than any dark guild.
Gray headed back to where Erza was.
Meanwhile
Erza had walked out of the station and warned the surrounding citizens. As Erza was about go back in the station when she turned around to see the station covered by a tornado or wind wall. He thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a familiar voice. "Oh I wish I had time to play with you Titania, but I have somewhere to be."It was Erigor floating in the air. Before Erza could attack him, he blasted Erza with some magic sending her into the wind wall. When Erza tried to get out, it knocked her back. She stood back up yelling, "what's the meaning of this." Erigor smiled and said," Sorry it's only one way Titania and now if you will excuse me I'll be going." Before disappearing again. Erza decide to question and tie up all the Eisenwald members. When she was questioning the last one Gray came back and explained the situation. They felt the building shake and an explosion and they decided to run to its location.
Also Meanwhile
Shiro, Sayla and Kurona were looking for the fat green haired man who ran away.
"Dammit where did that fatso go?" Shrio said.
"I don't know" Sayla said looking around
Kurona looked around and asked, "Shiro we should go back to Erza, I got a bad feeling." Shiro looked at his partner, "think so, then we should go back."
"change of plans Kurona."
Lucy and Happy were looking in the other room. "I think we should go back." Lucy said. Happy looked at her with a horrific look."you must be really gutsy to disobey Erza's orders. I hope she doesn't do it to you." Happy said. Lucy paled thinking of what Erza would do to her. "On second thought let's keep looking for him." She said. "You sure change quick." Happy said. "Oh shut it cat and why are you here anyway." Lucy yelled.
The building shook as the 2 groups headed in the direction of the explosion heard.
Also Meanwhile
Natsu was running down a hallway and only ran into a dead end. This pissed him off and he started yelling for Erigor to come out and destroyed anything in his way. He continued until he was hit from behind by a shadow knocking him into a pile of boxes. "Your not so tough fly!" A voice said. "Hey I recognize you, you're that Toupee guy." Natsu said pulled his head out of a box. "It's Kageyama!" He yelled sending shadow knuckles at Natsu who just dodged. "You can't out run this! Snake Shadow!" He said shorting multiple snakes made of shadows at Natsu. "I don't need to dodge them when I can burn them." Natsu said lighting his hands on fire and burning all the snakes away. "How did you burn them away?" Kageyama said, Natsu answered him with a "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" Punching Kageyama with a flaming fist. The attack caused the building to shake. "Now tell me where Erigor is!" Natsu said. "Heh you fool Erigor has left the station already.
Before Natsu could say anything else he heard. "Natsu! Stop we need him." It was Erza and she had….. A freaking sword in her hand coming right him! As if there was someone yelling, DODGE! Natsu ducked from Erza only to see she wasn't aiming for him. Erza swung for Kageyama and the blade stopped centimeters from his neck. "Dispel the wind barrier. Now!" Erza yelled. Natsu scared of her yelled, "Just do it man don't make her even more angry!" Kageyama who was fearing for his life agreed, but before he could do anything a yellow magic seal appeared on his front as a hand reached though to the other side. It felt like he was just stabbed from his back through his stomach as said "WHY?" And groaned in pain before passing out.
The culprit was none other than the green haired fat guy from before. "KILL KAGEYAMA!" Were the words that flashed through his mind. Gray and Erza tried to wake him up. Erza yelled, "You're the only one who can dispel the barrier! Don't you die!" Gray tried to get Erza to calm down as she was bonking his head against the floor. Natsu stood there before clenching his fists. He looked at the man and said, "How could you do that to your comrades he's a member of your guild." The man paled and tried to escape and go into the wall again. Natsu jumped before he could escape and blasted the wall if a fist full of flames screaming "You bastard! Is that how your guild runs?!" At that moment Shiro Sayla and the others came running in. "Shit" was the only thing Shiro could say at the moment.
The Group toke Kageyama to the outside of the station and treated his wounds.
"We gotta figure a way out here!" Natsu said.
"Can't you freeze it with your Ice magic." Gray said
"I would if I could Lucy!"
"Dammit!" Natsu yelled as he tried to get through the barrier with sheer force. Erza grabbed Natsu to get him to stop.
"Wait!" Natsu said as he had an "aha" moment, "Lucy we can use your keys, like when I when I went through the spirit world.
Lucy immediately shut him down by telling him that they would need two spirit wizards and it would violate the contract and since it was Everlue's key it didn't count.
Happy had his "aha" moment when Lucy said Everlue's key.
"Lucy I remember!"
"What happy?"
"The thing I wanted to tell you was to give you virgos key!" Happy yelled happily. Lucy grabbed his lips and pulled them. "You didn't steal it you little thief?" Lucy asked accusingly Happy said as best he could, "No Virgo came to me and told me to give it to you cause she wanted to make a new contact."
"Well that's nice but not very helpful." Lucy said.
"But.."Happy said.
"Shut it up….. Why can't you just meow like other cat." Lucy said cruelly pinching the cats cheeks.
All of a sudden Sakura fell around Happy and a spotlight shines down on him. He had tears in his eyes."I thought since Virgo could dig holes maybe she could dig us out."
"Eehhhhh!?" Everyone said.
"Happy great idea oh why didn't you say that earlier?" Lucy asked.
"Because someone keep pinching me….." Happy said glaring at Lucy
Lucy immediately got on her knees and apologized." Gomen Gomen Gomenasai! Please accept my apology." Happy grinned evilly and said I look forward to it.
As they got the key Lucy chanted,"Open Gate of the Maiden: Virgo!" As a pink short haired girl with shackles on her wrists wearing a maid outfit. "Who are you?" Lucy asked.
"I'm Virgo the maiden." "You look nothing like before." Natsu said," I liked you before."
"I can change back if you like." Virgo said changing into her former self with a more big approach. Lucy yelled in protest, "No I'm you wizard don't listen to him." Virgo changed back.
"Look Virgo were in a rush can we do the contract later?" Lucy asked the maiden. "Of course Mistress." Virgo said glancing at the whip Lucy carried. "Don't call me mistress." "What about princess?" Virgo asked. "Yes I like that." Lucy replied but honestly if you don't want people to think you were a dominatrix then don't carry a succubus whip.
"Virgo can you dig us out of here?" Lucy asked.
"Of course princess." Virgo said digging a tunnel from inside and out.
Before the group left Natsu picked up Kageyama claiming that if he died after fighting him would leave a bad taste in his mouth.
On the outside…
The team was ready to head out before no one could find Shiro Kurona Natsu or Happy. "Where did they go?"
All right done with the chapter. So don't forget to vote for Natsu's last girl on the the poll. Also who don't you want Shiro's last girl to be and if you want it to be an OC then say so.
Finally tell me who should fight Erigor. Natsu? Shiro? Or both. Leave your answer I the reviews!.
