They are at the train station waiting for Erza while Natsu and Gray are starting to have a fight. Ichigo, Lucy and Happy are sitting at the brench while Ichigo is talking with Zangetsu in his head.
"Ichigo, I think we should work with Fairy Tail for a while." Zangetsu said.
"And getting laid by Erza." Hollow Ichigo said, with grinning.
'I told you to shut the hell up!' Ichigo yelled.
Ichigo opens his eyes and stares at them still fighting. Lucy remembers what Mira has said to her back at the guild from yesterday
-Flash back-
"Do you mind going with them?" Mira asked.
"What? Why me?"
"Well Natsu and Gray going to fighting when Erza isn't looking and I am pretty sure Ichigo get to do all by himself so will you help them." Mira asked.
-Flash back end-
"You are not stopping them." Happy said.
"How could I?" Lucy asked.
"Ah so you are all here." Natsu and Gray stop and Lucy smile that Erza is here.
"Erza..." Lucy stopped as she saw Erza's bags.
"Nice packing." Happy comlimemted.
"All the luggages?" Lucy asked.
"Let get on the train good buddy." Gary said.
"Aye." Natsu agree.
"And here Happy is number two." Lucy said with a frown.
"Those two seem to get along." Erza look toward to Ichigo. "So Ichigo are you a new member of Fairy Tail?"
"No, I still haven't trust you guy since I din't know you." Ichigo answered
"Why is that?" Erza asked.
"I not a type of person who talk about the past." Ichigo answered
"I see." She turns her head to Lucy. "You must be Lucy, correct?"
"Y-yes." Lucy stuttered.
"I heard that the defeated a mercenary gorilla with just a pinky. Glad to have you on board."
"M-my preasure..." Lucy said, starting to shaking.
"Erza, I have one condition." Natsu said, getting Erza attention.
"Hold on Natsu..." Gray said, tried to stop Natsu.
"When this is over. You have to fight me." Natsu demaned.
"Hey! Don't you get hasy! Do you want to die?" Gray asked.
"I can beat you now." Natsu said with a grin.
At that point Erza smile. "It is true that you have improved. I feel somewhat disadvantage, but all right, I accept."
"All right! Now I'm fired up!" Natsu screamed and breathed fire from his mouth.
When they got on the train and start moving Natsu got Motion Sickness. Since the booth support only hold four, Ichigo sit behind of Erza and Lucy's side.
"You kidding me? Natsu only weakness is moving vehicle?" Ichigo asked.
"Aye!" Happy quickly responded.
"So any ideal how to take care of Natsu?" Ichigo asked.
"I got an idea. Lucy switch seat with Natsu." Erza order. Lucy nodded and swapped seat with Natsu quickly, Then Erza place one hand on Natsu's shoulder, as if bracing him. "Ready?" She asked, Natsu nodded... and then Erza punch Natsu in the stomache with extreme force, knocking him out with a single punch. Both Lucy and Gray backed up a bit in their seat.
"Let me guess Erza punch Natsu in the stomache?" Ichigo asked.
"Yes." Lucy answered. Then Ichigo started to remember about that strange man. He said that he needed his help but for what?
"Hey Ichigo, is something wrong?" Erza asked.
"No, it's nothing." Ichigo answers. "I believe it time you fill in on us. What exactly are we doing?"
"You right. We're going against the Eisenwald dark guild. They plan to use a magic called Lullaby for something big." Erza answered.
"Lullaby?" Gray, Ichigo and Happy asked.
"That thing from before?" Lucy asked. Getting Erza attention
"I see. So you've encountered Eisenwald as well." Erza said.
"Probably. They did mention something about Lullaby." Gray said.
"Its sounds like they were guild dropouts. the plan must have been too much for them, so they ran off." Erza said.
"And that plan has something to do with Lullaby?" Gray asked.
"It's only a guess, but the shadow that dragged them off was probably Eisenwald's main squad. They must not have wanted the plan to get out." Erza said.
"What kind of plan are we talking about?" Lucy asked.
"Allow me to explain everything in order. It happened the other day, on my way home after that job I stopped by a pub in Onibas where wizards gather. Where I heard a couple a guy talking about a Lullaby." Erza said
"So that mean they are member of Eisenwald, correct?" Ichigo asked.
"Yes. Like a fool, though, I didn't recognize the name "Erigor" at the time. He the ace of the Eisenwald dark guild. He only accrpts assassintation-related jobs, for which he earned the nickname, "Shinigami". I was careless!" Erza shout, pound her fist to Natsu's head. "If only I had recognize Erigor's name then, I could've pulverized them and had them confess their scheme!"
"Hey relax. No one blaming for not knowing that they were from you had then they would still after the Lullaby." said Ichigo earning a smile from Erza, He couldn't see it for himself.
"You sound like you not scare." Happy said.
"Well, I faced tougher Shinigami before. " Ichigo said.
"Oh, I'm impress." Erza complimenting.
'Ichigo must be really strong to earn a compliment from Erza.' They all thought in their head.
"Ichigo, can I ask you somthing?" Lucy asked.
"Sure." Ichigo answered.
"Where did you encounter them?" Lucy asked once again.
"I can't said really. That imformation is classifireds." Ichigo said.
"So Ichigo, you said you faced tough Shinigami before. Can you tell us their name?" Gray asked.
"Ikkaku madarame, third seat of squad eleven, Renji Abarai, lieutenants of sqaud six, Kenpachi Zaraki, captain of sqaud eleven, and Byakuya Kuchiki, captain of sqaud six." Ichigo answered.
"Two captain, a lieutenants and a third seat. Now I'm really impress." Earning a another comliment from Erza.
"But we need to check the train, someone from Eisenwald will be on this train from right under our nose and carry the Lullaby." Ichigo pointed out.
"I never thought of that." Erza pondered to her self, Gray got on his feet.
"I'll go check it out." Gray said walking away.
-20 minutes later-
"I'm back," said Gray and found Ichigo sitting next to Erza. 'Ichigo sure is brave to sit next to Erza.' Gray thought by taking his seat next to Lucy.
"Found anything?"
"Nope, there isn't any of Eisenwald menber on this train." answered Gray.
"well at least we tried." said Ichigo laying back. He notices that one of the group is missing. "Does everyone see Happy?"
"BONZAI!" When suddenly a yell, Happy bursted out of nowhere and landed on top of Ichigo head.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" asked Ichigo.
"Is that your naturally hair color, couse it is. We have someone who have orange hair." Happy said.
"First, yes this is my naturally hair color, second you could have just asked?" Ichigo asked
"Aye." Happy responded, and Ichigo face-palmed. Erza couldn't help but smile.
"And I get pick on when I was four." Ichigo said, finishing his explanation. That where Erza's smile fade.
"You get pick on when you were four." Erza asked.
"Yeah, it because cause of my hair." Ichigo said. Erza remembering she get pick on when she was eleven. "So where are we going?"
"To Oshibana, they will strike there."Erza answered, snapped back to reality.
"So how big is Oshibana anyway?" Ichigo asked.
"How can you not know? Oshibana is a largest city? Have you been living under a rock this whole life?" Gray shouted.
"Hey I just got here, get of my back!" Ichigo shouted back, Gary looked confuse.
"Just got here? What do you mean?" Gray asked.
"Natsu didn't tell any of you?" asked Ichigo, Erza and Gray shook their head no, but Lucy nodded.
"He told me. He said that he and Happy saw a flash of light coming from the alley, and found you, is that right?" Lucy asked after finishing her explanation.
"Yeah, all I can remember that I meant this strange guy and I got teleported here," Ichigo answered.
"What does he look like?" Gray asked.
"He wore a black robe and a mask." Ichigo asked.
'A black robe and a mask.' Erza thought.
-At Onibus train station-
"Alright, we get our ticket and head to..."
"Wait, where Natsu?" Ichigo interrupt.
Then they heard a whistle and the train started to move and Natsu sticking his head out of the window screaming, "Help meeeee!" The train gone- leaving Natsu on.
"We left him on the train." Ichigo said.
"Aye." Happy agree.
"It's all my fault." A sudden out brust came from Erza gotten the group attension.
"What with you?" Ichigo asked.
"It my fault that Natsu have to suffer... Please hit me, I must atone." Erza said, bowing her head.
"Come on, no one going to..." Lucy started, but interuppted by Ichigo
"Ok, I'll do it." Ichigo said simply, walking to her.
"You can't be serious...!" Lucy said. Ichigo walk past her. He stretched his right arm. Erza closed her eyes and braced a powerful blow to her head. But it never came, She got a tap on the head.
"There you go, request fulfilled. All your sin have been forgiven, have a nice." Ichigo said, turns and walks away. Erza stood up straight, looking confuse.
"Wait!" Erza said. stopping Ichigo. "Why are you holding back?"
"You never said how hard to hit you." Ichigo said. "And I already told you to stop blaming on yourself."
"But I-" She started, but she was interuppted
"We all have forgotten about Natsu so stop. We all messed up sometime, so stop." Ichigo said, then looks back at the train. "Beside Natsu can take care of himself."
"If the train stop." Gray said.
-At the Train-
Natsu hit again by very bad case of motion sickness. However he wasn't alone, there is actually some one else inside the train car with him.
"Oh, Fairy Tail." said black hair man known as Kageyama, menber of Eisewald. He wear a white suit with a red undershirt and his hair tied back. " you are a local guild. I'm jealous. No really, why would I work with weak fairy." Then flame came from Natsu's hand and Kageyama back away from him.
"I dare you said that again." Natsu told angrily, then his flame vanished from motion sickness.
"So that how your magic work? Let me shows you how real magic work." Kageyama said, his shadow form a fist and punches Natsu.
"Damn it." Natsu said, whiping the blood from his face.
"What's the matter, fairy?" Kageyama asked. Then they heard a noice from the train amd Natsu's flame came back and punched Kageyama. He dropped the wooden flute that have shkull on the end and had three eyes. He quicky grabbed it and picked in his coat. "what's the hell?"
-Back with the other-
"Hey you can't-" the man got interuppnt by when Ichigo grabbed his coat.
"Listen, our friend is on that train and we need to get him off, got it?" Ichigo asked. The man is simple scare of Ichigo so he nodded. "Good, plus we needed a ride to get to Natsu. Got it?"
"Yes, right away." the man said, running.
"Ichigo is scary." Lucy whispered.
"Aye." Happy agreed.
"I guess Fairy Tail are like this." Lucy said.
"Not me." Gary said, strip down and in his underwear.
"Where are your clothes?" Lucy asked.
-Back to Natsu-
Natsu smashes his hand together and flame appear. "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" He shouted and charge Kageyama.
"Sh...shit!" He shouted. "Shadow Guard!" Suddenly, form several arms around him, defending from Natsu's flame. However, the force of that attack, even though he blocked. it was enough to sent him back. "Damn it!"
"Is that all you got, This is too easy!" Natsu shouted, suddenly a loud dinging sound, like that a PDA systems.
"We are sorry for the inconvenience, the train will resume it natural course. Have a nice day." It was the conductor making a quick announcement regarding the sudden stop of the train.
"HELL NO!" Natsu shouted, he turned and grabbed his thing.
"Hey come back here. You going to pay for messing with Eisenwald."
"Oh you from Eienwald. I going to make you pay for mocking Fairy Tail." He turns to the window. "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" He made a large hole and jump of the train.
"Whoa, that guy is crazy." Kageyama said, the train started to move a again.
-At Natsu Location-
"You got attack!" Gray shouted. The monemt Natsu jumped out of the train and on to the Four wheel which belong to Erza. "By who?"
"I don't know! He just kicked me for no reason while I was on the train! What's more do you want with me!" Natsu shouted back. They got to heacher head until Erza shot a glare to act like buddy.
"These two..." Erza sign.
"So Natsu, what does he look like?" Ichigo asked.
"Well, I don't know but he said that he's from Eisenwald." Natsu answer.
"You idiot!" Erza yelled, and slapped him. "We trying to go after Eisenwald! Why did you let him go?"
"Well this is the first time I heard about it." Natsu answer.
"I explained it on the train a while of ago! You sould listen when people talking!" Erza shout.
"That because you knocked him out cold, I can't believe she forgot that." Ichigo said.
"That Erza for you." Happy said.
Erza got on the Four Wheel in the driver seat and put on the a band of to her wrist. "He was on a train you say? We're going after it!"
"Since you don't remember what he look like, anything else?" Ichigo asked.
"Well, he was carrying some kind skull flute." Natsu answer.
"A skull flute?" Lucy asked.
"Yeah, the skull have three eyes." Natsu add.
"Is this guy carrying what I think it is, then it's must be a Lullaby." Ichigo said getting a shock from the group. "My guess is they might be in Oshibana town."
"Good idea. Everyone get on!" Erza order.
-2 hour to Oshibana-
"Damn this place is huge." Ichigo said, look around.
"Told you." Gray respond.
"Enough..." Erza order. "Considering Natsu was attack on the train, which would eventually lead to Oshibana station, it is more than likely they are going to hit somewhere around here, keep your eyes pealed and ears open."
"Umm... I think I found a good idea where they might be..." Lucy said, pointing down a corner. Everyone turn and look down and saw a massive people at the station.
"Good thing Natsu got attack and jump off the train, forcing us to drive here. If we had actually road a train here, it will lead us to a ambush." Ichigo said.
"Aye! But fortune come from other misfortune." Happy added.
"I'd perfer the ambush." Natsu said.
"Well we can't walk in there without a plan." Ichigo said.
"Agree, we create a diversion from the front door, Ichigo can go to the back and surprise attack them." Gray explain the plan.
"Sound good to me," Ichigo said, getting of the four wheel. "Be there in a jiffy." Ichigo use his shunpo, leaving the rest shock and confuse.
"He fast." Gray said in shock.
"How is that possible?" Lucy asked in confuse. "We have never see a magic circle appear."
'He vanquish without using any magic.' Erza thought. 'Just what are you, Ichigo?"
-15 minute in Oshibana station-
"Man these guard are a pain in the ass." Natsu said, as they ran thought the station. They saw a couple of guard, unlike from outside their were competely different. they were all unconscious.
"Look like they have engage combat with Eisenwald." Erza said. "They coulden't stand a chance." They continue running and meant Eisenwald.
"So you finally here Fairy Tail flies." Said a man holding a large scythe. He shirtless with several tattoos over his body, and wore a black scarf and white armband that it went to his forearms, black gloves, a white cloth belt with a black one under it, and very baggy and torn up purple pant that it went down to his ankles, and some simple sandals on his feet. He also wore some purple face paint and had spiky white hair that it went down to his left side. This man know as Erigor, a shinigami.
"Why you! I'm here to kick your ass!" Natsu shouted.
"Aye! Kick your ass!" Happy add.
"Quit." Erza said, as she strp forward. Erigor quicky lifted off to the sky and stop, as if he standing in air.
"He can fly?" Lucy asked.
"It wind magic." Happy replied.
"What are you planing to do with the Lullby?" Erza demaned.
"What? Don't yell me you haven't figure it out? What do the train station have?" Erigor asked.
"Don't tell me..." Erza relize what he talking about. "You planing to broadcast it!"
Then Erigor laugh. "Thousand of nosy onlookers have gathered around the station. No, if I raise the volmune, the melody of death might just echo throughtout the city..."
"You going to make innocent people hear the Lullaby being played!" Erza asked.
"You bastard! Get down here and fight me one on one!" Natsu shout.
"One on one, huh? Sorry I quite busy." Erigor said, floating into the air, near the windows of the top hall. "Everyone, I'll leave these flies to you!"
"I don't think so."
A voice came behind of Erigor. It was Ichigo and he brough out his sword. Ergior quicky block his attack, but surprise to them. Erigor was sent to the ground. Ichigo landed leaving the unblief in their eyes. Some of Eisenwald member concern about their leader, and some of them cursing at Ichigo.
"Get up, I know you can't be dead from that attack. You must be weak or something." Ichigo taunt, Erigor got out if the hole that Ichigo created.
"Who are you?" Erigor asked.
"Ichigo Kurosaki, Substitute Shinigami!" Ichigo yell, earing a shock and surprise look. They have have a Shinigami, but a Substitute Shinigami is a other.
"Substitute Shinigami?" Erigor said quitely to himself. "Don't make me laugh boy! I am a Shinigami. You think you can compare to me? You are no match for me"
"You want to bet?" Ichigo asked. "Getsuga Tenshou!" He laugh a massive blue reiatsu at Erigor.
"Storm Wall!" Erigor shout and a circle appear. The wind came in front of Erigor's hand to shield him, creating a smoke. The smoke clear and surprise to them there is little blood on his body. "Damn you!"
"That was a small amount of my attack. The next one is going much powerful then before." Ichigo said, earning a shock.
'A small amout of his attack?' Erza thought in shock.
'He must be stronger then Erigor.' Lucy thought.
Erigor grit his teeth in anger getting blood by Ichigo. "Wind Blade!" Several side wind of blade heading straight toward Ichigo. He use his shunpo to dodge his attack. They look around to see where Ichigo.
"Up here." Ichigo call, they look up and saw Ichigo actually standing in mid air. Overwhelming by shock and confuse. Ichigo use his shunpo and appear right behind him with a battle cry. Erigor quickly use his wind magic to avoid Ichigo's sword. "What wrong? You said I am no match for you."
"As much I were love to make you scream for you life. I must be on my way." And then, a large whirlwind surrounded him. "See you around, Substitute Shinigami." The whirlwind picked up, engulfing him, and when it die down down, Erigor was gone.
"Hey get your ass back here!" Ichigo shouted, after he shout. Erza stepped forward.
"Natsu! Gray!" Erza shouted. Both of the mentioned people look toward her. "Go after Erigor, and hurry! You can't let him use the Lullaby!"
"Yes ma'am!" They shouted, brfore taking off from the hall.
"Happy go with them to see if they need help!" Ichigo order.
"Aye, sir!" Happy responded, not like to argue with Ichigo and chase after them.
"You heard them.. they are going to stop Erigor... Kageyama, Rayule, you two go after them, ok?" One of the member asked.
"Sure, leave it to us!" A man looking somewhat like an Egyptian pharaoh, wearing a Egytain like headdress that cover his hair, along woth a black eyebrows, similar colored eyes, and a tan coloured skin announced know as Rayule.
"We keep them busy until Erigor get out." Kageyama said. Both said people split into different directions exiting the hall, the remaining Eisenwaldmember draw their weapons and getting ready. Ichigo quickly rejoin with Erza and Lucy.
"What are we going to do?" Lucy asked, a bit worried. Ichigo heaved his sword over his shoulder.
"Well seem we outnumber, but with me on your side we can stand a chance." Ichigo said, and Erza smile a bit.
"You're right. The avenged is on our side, for now." Erza said, still smiling.
"You got that right." Ichigo said, turning his attention to the member of Eisenwald. Erza held out her hand, and with a flash of bright red light. A single blade appear in her hand. She is ready for battle. With that Ichigo's eyes went wide. The same magic as the mask man did. 'That magic!.' Ichigo thought. "You think you can handle them?"
"Keep watching, and I'll show you what I really do." Erza said, as these two fade down the impending oslaught of people.
'This is not going to end well...' Lucy thought to herself.
