Here is the next chapter. I have also decided to write a third chapter for the night. It will be the final chapter for the Lullaby arc. I know it seems short, only three chapters... but I think it ended nicely.

Honestly, alot of the arcs last a lot longer than they should... It reminds me so much of DBZ. LOL.

One fight takes three episodes xD

I own nothing. Enjoy.


"Well well well, look at what we have here. It's one of the Fairy Tail Wizards." Spoke a nearby male voice. "How's the guild treating you these days? Is it worth sticking around."

"Sometimes." Natsu said, putting his hand in front of his face as he tried not to vomit. He then got his face stepped on as he was pushed into the cushion of the seat.

"Don't try to act all high and mighty just because you are in a legal guild Mr. Fairy." Spoke the man, getting angry. "All you fairies ever do is blindly follow the magic council. You know what you look like to me? Harmless little flies."

"Yea that's great a-" Natsu stated, only to burp as he held back his vomit. "And all, but I don't really care what you think of me. Can you please go? This is already bad enough as it is. I don't need you here to make it worse."

"Make it worse ey? You mean like this?!" The man spoke, using his magic circle below his feet to summon four fists of shadow that went right for Natsu's chest and gut but they were redirected for Natsu's mouth.

"W-What?! What did you just do?" The man spoke only to trip as the train just suddenly stopped, which also got the man to drop something that looked like a very intricate carved piece of wood.

Natsu stood up and grinned underneath his mask, his expression was that of a feral monster. "That was delicious." Natsu said before he charged at the man. The way his cloak looked while he jumped and flew through the air was like Natsu was able to fly, but it was just a leap. Natsu pulled his left hand back and aimed right for the man's face.

"Guard Shadow!" The man called out, forming a dome out of shadowy hands but Natsu quickly dispersed into a fine black mist before he appeared underneath the dome, using the enemies own shadow against him.

"You lose." Natsu said softly before driving his left hand, which was the arm of the dragon, right into the man's gut, sending the man flying up into the air and into the ceiling of the train before slamming right back onto the ground.

"Sorry. It seemed that the emergency brake was pulled. We are pulling away now." Spoke the speaker.

'Oh no.' Natsu thought, only to fall onto the chair as the train began to move again. It was then Natsu spotted a moving vehicle, with Erza driving it. 'Damned if I do, damned if I don't.' Natsu thought before he grabbed Lullaby off of the ground and leapt through the open window, grabbing onto Erza's shoulder as he flew right into the car, almost hitting Gray in the process. Erza suddenly slammed on the brakes, making Natsu fly off of the car and over towards the ground but Natsu quickly dispersed into mist again before appearing out of the ground.

Gray and Erza got off of the car and Gray grinned.

"That's a nifty power you got there. So you have power over shadow?" Gray asked.

"Yes… and I have another power… but I don't wanna talk about it."

"Eh?" Gray asked but dropped the subject.

"I'm so sorry for leaving you on the train Natsu." Erza said, grabbing him by the head and slamming him right into her armor, which got him all woozy. "I am glad you aren't hurt."

"Nah I'm good but the dude that attacked me on the train got a good punch from me."

"Wait, you got attacked?" Erza asked alarmed.

"Yea." Natsu stated, rubbing his head. "But I have something." Natsu said, pulling out Lullaby from his pocket.

"What is that?" Gray asked.

"I don't know but the guy dropped it when the train instantly stopped." Natsu said.

"Is… this Lullaby?" Gray asked another question, looking down at the wood.

"Possibly." Erza said. "I've never seen it so I have no idea."

"What do we do?" Natsu asked. "I can destroy it if necessary."

"No." Erza stated. "If this is Lullaby, then Eisenwald will come after us for it. Same for Erigor."

"So we lay a trap and stomp their asses." Gray said, smashing his fists together.

"That's what I was thinking." Erza said with a grin.

"We will need more than just us three for the trap." Natsu said.

"You doubting your own strength?" Erza asked with a teasing grin.

"No… but stealing this will bring their entire wrath upon us. We were chasing them but now they are after us. This is different." Natsu stated.

Erza nodded as did Gray.

"I agree with Natsu. We need some help." Gray stated.

"I say we get Cana." Natsu said.

"Why? Cause you like her?" Erza asked with a teasing nudge of her elbow.

"I do like her. She's really nice." Natsu stated, completely missing the jab by Erza. Natsu was an innocent boy when it came to the fairer sex.


Back on the train, Kageyama, or the man Natsu was fighting was currently being held down by a man with a scythe to his throat. It was Erigor.

"You let a Fairy Tail fly take Lullaby from you?!" Erigor roared, glaring down with hate and fury. "You had the drop on him and you let him beat you?!"

"He had some weird moves! He has my powers but he has a greater affinity with them!" Kageyama stated, fearing for his life.

"You're excuses shall not be tolerated!" Erigor said, raising his Scythe to decapitate the dark wizard but a man dressed with an Egyptian looking headdress spoke up.

"Wait sir. We can still use him… we'll need all the help we can get to take down those flies to get Lullaby back." He said.

Erigor growled down at Kageyama but pulled his scythe away. "You live for now. Fail me again and I won't stop my blade." Erigor said before leaving the train, having to board another train to head back.


In an abandoned warehouse, Natsu and Gray were currently barricading certain doors and windows, as per the plan of Erza. Erza was currently inside the station waiting for Cana as Cana was requested by Natsu for some assistance about an hour ago. When Cana arrived off of the train, Erza was surprised because she was with someone else from the guild.

"Elfman. You brought him along?"

"He overheard the call and wanted to be a help to Natsu. Seems our little reaper is growing up." Cana said, giving Natsu a nickname.

"Reaper? I like that! Sounds like a name a true man would have!" Elfman stated, flexing his arms.

Erza smiled. "You understand the stakes right?" She said, looking up at Elfman.

"Cana said it was a very dire situation. So our lives are in danger."

"Big time." Erza said. "Well, we are glad to have you! The more men we get, the better we will do!"

"Of course!" Elfman said proudly.


Two hours later, the plan was set in place and they were waiting. Natsu was currently relaxing in a dark corner, where he was supposed to be as no one could see him, especially with the clothing options. Plus Natsu was also using his shadow powers to hide mostly in the wall.


Natsu was trained heavily by Erza and Elfman who volunteered. Both of the two trained his body, helping him get his muscles up though they didn't know what extent he had improved but he did improve his weight lifting capability. At first, he was too weak to lift one hundred pounds as he started off at about 80. By the end of the training, he was able to do much more. Lift hundreds of pounds just like other wizards can. Unknown to the two of them, Natsu would disappear from Erza's house in the middle of the night and train himself, using his shadow powers. He unlocked several new abilities. Some were attacks but he's now able to do more utilities which includes, going through walls using shadow. Normally, his shadow teleportation works off of his mind, getting him from Point A to B as long as he knows where he is going. Now, he's able to actually turn into shadow itself and go through walls, ceilings and other things. He has always been able to change into mist and appear close by, but this was a different ability.


They were there. Natsu and the others felt the dark magic closing in fast and it wasn't long before part of the ceiling was destroyed. The dust settled and in the center of the warehouse, was Eisenwald and Erigor. Thirty men stood in front of Erigor who was currently hovering in the air.

"So, you must be Erigor." Erza stated.

"That would be me, Fairy Tail flies. You have something that belongs to me and I am here to take it back."

"As if we would let you." Erza said with a grin.

"Oh yea?" Erigor stated, grinning evilly before he disappeared in a burst of wind, appearing right behind Erza with his scythe poised and ready to swing, which he did. Erza turned with her eyes widened, taken off guard by the speed of Erigor. Before the Scythe could touch her throat, Natsu appeared and blocked the scythe with his dragon hand, holding onto the blade.

"You've made a big mistake going for Erza." Natsu said with a growl. Natsu roared in fury and swung his dragon arm and threw Erigor back who got his positioning back and was hovering over his guild.

"That's the kid who beat me!" Kageyama stated, pointing at Natsu.

"Oh? This is very interesting. Let's see what you got Fairy Tail flies! KILL THEM ALL!" Erigor stated, and the entire guild went into combat.

"I will handle Erigor!" Erza stated, but Natsu rushed in front of her, using his shadow magic on his feet to fly. He wriggled like a snake through swords and axes, heading right into Erigor who grinned. "NATSU!" Erza yelled out as Natsu and Erigor began to trade blows between their scythe and dragon claws.

"You are stronger than me." Natsu stated. "You need to handle the more numerous opponent!" Natsu yelled back as he went on the defensive and began to block and dodge the rapid slashes from the fast flying opponent as they both were hovering. "I will be fine!" Natsu yelled to Erza.

"You better not die on me!" Erza stated. "Or you will be sorry! REQUIP! Heavens Wheel armor!" She roared, equipping the armor she used against Natsu that day. Gray began to form ice magic, Cana drew her cards and Elfman transformed his right arm into a monsters arm. It looked like stone.


Natsu and Erigor locked their "blades", neither giving an inch as their faces were near each other. Natsu's only facial feature to Erigor was the faint outlines of his red dragon eyes.

"You're stronger than I expected boy, but you are not strong than myself!" Erigor said with a roar, summoning a powerful gust of wind at his finger tips, blowing Natsu back, sending him into a bunch of Eisenwald members, knocking them out but Natsu dispersed into shadow mist and appeared right in behind Erigor, using Erigor's own shadow to move around. Erigor looked behind him and grinned evilly, waiting for the right moment before his speed with the wind came apparent and he left Natsu behind. Natsu looked around for him, only to spot Erigor who got behind Erza and grabbed onto the Lullaby that was tied to her waist.

"No! You bastard!" Erza stated, swinging her sword behind her to strike Erigor, but Erigor flew away towards the roof.

"Not that you guys will live much longer… but I feel compelled to tell you my plan. I plan on attending that conference in Clover." Erigor stated.


Unknown to Erigor, Natsu was no longer in the warehouse.


"You… you plan to play the flute over the guild masters don't you?!"

"Bingo." Erigor said with a laugh. "Have fun with my guild Fairy Flies!" Erigor said, laughing happily as he disappeared quick like the wind.

"Damnit!" Erza roared, swinging her dual swords over and over at the numerous Eisenwald members. They had been transporting themselves in using Kageyama's magic. "We need to stop him in order to stop them from coming! That damn guild!"

"What about Natsu?!" Cana asked.

"Where is he?! Why isn't he helping us?!" Elfman asked.

Erza growled. "Damnit Natsu! Where are you!?" Erza cried.


Erigor was currently flying over the tracks over the Clover canyon, aiming right for the town which was in visible territory.

'It's over flies!'
