Emotionless

Chapter 58, Double Trouble

A/N: Always accepting OCs!

Other A/N: I must say you all are very patient, I've been gone for a while - I know. I've been extremely busy and during that time I had lost interest in Fairy Tail and lost the spark for a time with this story. I'm back though now, thanks to the helpful words by a stranger which we've all heard before, but to be told directly is a whole entirely new matter.

"Do what you love", the stranger had told me, and so here I am again... writing the words to this story on fanfiction that I love so much.

Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail

Previously..

Lisanna stared at the dark mage in realization. Eisenwald was aiming for Clover Town because that is where the guild masters have their regular meetings!

That meant their real target is the guild masters!

The dark mage let out a sickening laugh. "Playing the flute for the geezers who are unaware of what's gonna happen should be easy. I'm sure Erigor-san can do it just fine on his own. Besides, people like you guys are in our way can't leave this station. Yup, that means no one can stop us now! We're simply taking revenge for the oppression we had in the past! Everything will disappear into thin air!" He was about to continue, but was stopped when the face of the cougar entered his line of sight, fangs bared ready to devour him.

Claws racked down his torso, creating deep wounds, fatal wounds.. but Lisanna wasn't finished. She sank her claws into her shoulders and leaned closer to the dark mage revealing the sharpness of her fangs.

Then, she spoke. "I'll prove to you that there are guilds more frightening than dark guilds!" Her voice was deeper and growled with the foreign tongue, but it was frightening none the less to the dark mage.

Before he could say or scream another word, he was thrown to the side and slammed far away into a wall, rendered limp from the fall and very much unconscious.

Lisanna smirked in her cougar form, before resuming her original form appearing just the way she had before apart from the blood that now covered her hands.

"We're Fairy tail, and we will stop you no matter the consequences."

Normal Pov..

The hallway was silent when Kageyama approached the fork in the hallways. He needed to find Lucy so he could teach her what happens when you mess with him, and then end her life as she screams for mercy. Problem was, he hadn't expected to end up at a fork, where one hall went to Lucy and the other to her partner. He didn't want to fight her partner, he wanted to fight Lucy.

Clenching his jaw as he ran a hand through his hair he stared at the right path and then the left before silently counting to his favorite number whilst switching sides before running to the path that landed on 32, daring the path to be the wrong one and piss him off.

Kageyama continued to run through the hallway not noticing as the temperature slowly began to drop until he was three minutes in where he noticed ice cracking the windows.

Just as he made the action to stop he suddenly found himself slipping backwards until he was literally sliding forward down the hallways trying to force his magic to steady him but unfortunately not even shadows could stop themselves from slipping.

He felt his foot hit something hard before he was sent flying forward and ended up landing on his head before rolling unto his side. A rush of icy winds slammed into him, causing his eyes to widen as ice began to form handcuffs around his wrists.

"Goddamn it! Show yourself coward!" Kageyama roared, straining his muscles as he tried to break the ice with shear strength, but failing.

The ice in the air made it seem thick and foggy, so when his opponent appeared it was like he was some epic game lord, dark eyes staring back at him while the ice fog swirled around his opponent, like pulsing energy until it cleared revealing his opponent in the flesh.

Black tamed but still wild hair framed a sharp angular face with piercing eyes and firm lips that all but spelled danger. A long white and black jacket that was absent from even a touch of ice that now drifted in the air like a frost atronach with a silver cross hanging down to his sternum and was finished with black jeans with more chains like his necklace though without the cross.

His name, Gray.

"If anyone of us is a coward, it is you, Kageyama." Gray told him, his hands moving towards each other to create his magic.

Kageyama raised to his feet, scowling deeply at Gray. "Me? How the hell am I coward when you're the one who hid behind this fog!" He shouted, voice heated with anger realizing he had taken the wrong path to Lucy. He needed to brush past this guy and get to her now, but now he's just crossed a line. Fairy Tail mages just knew how to step on his toes!

"Where is Erigor?" Gray demanded him, light blue magic pulsing between his hands.

Erigor smirked and leapt back before slamming his hands unto the ground before shouting, "You may dodge the question but you cannot dodge the orochi shadow!"

Eight heads of snakes suddenly burst from the ground as shadows, bearing their fangs at Gray before diving at him. Gray leapt out of the way before shouting, "Ice-Make; Hammer!" Unlike the usual attack that falls on his opponent, Gray instead grips the handle and swings it rotating it as it collides into each shadow snake and threw them into the ceiling, dispersing them.

Meanwhile Kageyama stood gawking in surprise by the action. "N-no way! He destroyed all of them!"

Before he could even bring up his defenses again the ice mage appeared before him, and delivered his order of a knuckle sandwich, but covered with spikes of ice.

"Ahh!" Kageyama roared, pain lacing his jaw as he was thrown back.

His attack was later followed by the ice freezing underneath Kageyama once again before ice-made fists launched from the ice and hit Kageyama sending him flying into the right wall.

"God Damnit!" Kageyama roared, swinging a shadow arm blindly towards Gray, hitting him square in the chest causing him to fall back. Kageyama laughed loudly, almost madly before he watched the ice mage his shadow hit shatter and rejoin the ice in the air.

It only took Kageyama two seconds to realize it was a fake, but those two seconds cost him any time to come up with an offensive attack, let alone defensive.

"Freeze." The chilling words fill the air, and Kageyama barely gets to his feet before he is frozen in spot, ice holding his legs to the spot. Slowly his hands turn a light blue as Gray's ice races up his arms, then up his chest, leaving only his neck and face free of movement.

Gray walked in front of him, his jacket long discarded revealing his naked chest, however Kageyama chose not to say anything in his particular predicament.

"I'll asked you once more, where. is. Erigor?" His cold voice froze Kageyama even more than he already was.

Kageyama grunted before grinning as though he had won, even as he stood there in front of Gray frozen on the spot.

"You fool, Erigor isn't at the station any more!" He cackled, before freezing as the ice froze up around his neck.

Gray ran a fist into his throat, shattering the ice, before grabbing his neck and leaning in close, cool anger rolling off him in waves.

"What do you mean, he's gone?" Gray all but demanded, frozen layers of ice running down his hands and re-freezing Kageyama's neck before freezing his face, sparing only his eyes and mouth.

"As in left the station, being here is just a trap to lure any unwanted guest... also for a bit of fun too." Kageyama replied, knowing he was defeated but believed that Eisenwald has won with Erigor gone, not even acknowledging the possibility of the Fairy Tail mages stopping him along the way.

So information was up for grabs to his opponent, believing any sort of comeback by the Fairy mages impossible.

"Where did he go?!" He demanded, ignoring that last part.

"Away from here, to mark the revenge on those that defile us!" Kageyama answered, his lips becoming a smirk as the ice grazed them, a warning that he ignored.

"Answer Damnit! We'll get out of here and stop him!" Gray shouted, the grip around Kageyama's frozen throat tightening, any further and his throat would shatter, killing him or at least cutting off his oxygen supply.

Gray wouldn't kill him, an unspoken law by Fairy Tail, but Kageyama didn't know that.

"You couldn't... even if you wanted to. Erigor-san has placed a wind barrier around this station, there's no... escape for you now." Kageyama finished.

Gray's eyes narrowed, before demanding a final time. "Where. did. he. leave. to?"

But Kageyama spoke all he would, and in an instant he was completely frozen solid by Gray.

"Damn... I got to go tell the others this!" Gray shouted, before running off down the hallway, knowing they didn't have much time to stop Eisenwald.

A man stood on train tracks, looking out at his destination further away, the desert grounds surrounding his current area.

"Clover Town, where the Guild Masters gather..." The man spoke, revealed as Erigor.

"It's getting close, and since I've regained most the magic power I lost to create the wind barrier... I should speed up." He told himself, before letting the wind lift himself into the air.

"Those geezers who took away our jobs and rights... just wait and see. I'll kill you all with the melody of Lullaby!" Erigor shouted, smiling as he adjusted his scythe over his shoulder.

"It'll be their shinigami's purge!" Erigor laughed before flying forward with speed that rivaled a falcon's.

Now the fate of the Guild Masters' fates laid in the hands of the Fairy Tail mages, trapped inside a train station behind Erigor's wind barrier.

Running footsteps echoed into the area Erza and Mirajane were, pulling their attention to the main hall where four passage ways connected into.

The footsteps sounded louder before a blur of white and pink appeared, revealing Lisanna and Natsu. The two fist bumped and shared a flick of a smile before running into the area were Erza and Mirajane were.

"Guys!" The two shouted, Lisanna's voice coated in worry instantly gaining the S-class mages' attention.

"Are you two alright? What did you discover?" Erza asked the latter question after they both nodded.

"Well-" Lisanna was cut off at the sound of Gray's voice of warning as he ran into the room, before quickly analyzing the area, looking for his partner.

Knowing Lucy could take care of herself, though not here, he decided to deliver the news first-hand and then later search for Lucy.

"Guys, Erigor is headed to Clover Town!" Gray told them, talking quickly knowing they don't have much time left.

"To kill the Guild Masters." Lisanna finished, her expression thick with worry.

Erza's eyes widened and Mirajane let out an angry shout with a curse.

"We need to head to Clover Town immediately!" Erza said, before her gaze turned to the Wind barrier.

"Yeah, well that's not going to happen as long as this barrier stands between us." Mirajane spits out with anger.

Natsu's gaze narrowed before he ran forward, ignoring the warning shouts of his team, and threw forward a fire fist into the wind barrier, and was met with extreme pain before being thrown backwards into the wall behind him.

"Natsu!" Lisanna's voice shouted, as she rushed over to him and helped him up.

Natsu hissed but otherwise ignored the grazing red cuts on his dominant arm.

"Damn idiot." Gray muttered, staring at the barrier.

"We have to get out of this wind barrier! If we don't-" Erza's worried voice was cut off when the wall behind the, exploded. Bricks and debris covered a small area in front, but otherwise left everyone unscathed.

"The hell?" Mirajane questioned, before Lucy's figure appeared.

"Woops, that was a bit more than I meant to cause. Hey Gray? Next time keep the battle on your side to stay on your side as to not cause the wall to collapse on my exit!" Lucy told him, her voice irritated yet teasing at the same time showing she was mostly joking.

...Mostly.

"So, what's the problem over here?" Lucy asked, already knowing that the others knew of Eisenwald's plans for the Guild Masters.

Lucy followed everyone's gaze to the wind barrier. "Hmm..." Lucy thought to herself, already knowing they had to go under, but how without Virgo was what she was wondering about.

"I take it you've already tried breaking through it?" She asked, and nodded after glancing at Natsu and Erza's bloody fists.

"I see... then we're just not going to go through it-" Lucy began but was cut off by Mirajane.

"Then how the hell are we supposed to get out! We can't just stay here and let them kill the Guild Masters!" She shouted angrily, believing that was Lucy's idea of a plan.

Lucy ignored the insult and went straight to the point, and the ending of her sentence.

"We go under it."

Lucy's Pov...

The five mages stared at me blankly on whether the idea never occurred to them or how that was going to be possible was my best guess.

"Well, since you suggested it, why don't you prove that's possible." Mirajane dared, a triumph smirk gracing her Gothic features.

I met her eyes before smiling a chilling smile, but a smile of acceptance none-the-less. "Alright." I said, before giving Gray a fist bump who gave me a smile that said good-luck in return.

This is where in my original time I would've called Virgo out, but the problem about that is I've had yet to do the mission to that man who should have her key, and because of that I need another way to get underground and out the other-side. The question is, how?

None of the other celestial spirits I have can do such a thing, and don't have the ability to do anything that could help to do so, so I would have to rely on something else.

Lost Soul magic does a lot, but digging underground is not one of them. Dragon magic is out as well, especially since I haven't harnessed control over it yet either and I don't dare risk it for something as small as this.

So, what's left are my other gate keys.

Kyoki shouldn't be used for this, and honestly I wouldn't want to anger her for calling herself out when I'm not engaged in battle.

Evilyn and Kenzou are my best bet left.

It was then I realized that I never learned what their techniques and strengths were for battle. I sigh internally, figuring I would find out when seeing them in combat enough times, or possibly talking to them about it, but had better luck with that with Kenzou then the Hell keys.

Damnit.

Wait, Evilyn has an air of wind around her aura, and also held fans as weapons... could she possible control the wind?

Granted the wind barrier wouldn't stay with a gap and would re-barricade itself, so breaking through it would be impossible... but wind is one of the strongest elements, hell its one of the major four!

Let's see. Fire is weakened by water, Earth is strengthened by water, fire is weakened by Earth but empowered by wind. Same thing the other way around with the other elements. So that means that wind is empowered combined with fire and water but weakened by Earth. Earth is only weakened by the element that supports it which is water.

Wait a moment...

I'll need water for this, so Aquarius can take care of that. Where to get the water to summon her though? I'll have to figure that out.

I'll also need wind, so Evilyn can control that.

Fire strengths wind, so Natsu can support us with that.

Earth is what we're shattering and creating a tunnel out of, so we'll need the three elements combined to make that possible.

Where to get the water though?

I looked down at my hand, and lifted it up seeing the golden runes of Kenzou's gate.

He would be the one to talk to about this, and who knows, maybe he'll solve the mystery of where to find water...

Closing my eyes I focus on gathering my casual aura around my palm before beginning the chant,

"I am the person who connects the road to the ancient world.. Thou, shalt respond to the calling and pass through the gate. Open a door to the Cerebus, Kenzou!"

The familiar deep golden portal formed a few feet in front of me, and then the familiar cerebus appeared.

Ignoring the surprised reactions from behind us, we grin at each other despite one of us lacking the feeling of it.

"You called?" He asked, the middle of his head dipping down in greeting.

"I did, and do you by chance know where I can get a hold of water?"

You should know, I don't quite understand why so many like/love this story... I mean I've expected it to turn out pretty messed up, which it was originally meant to, but then I was hit with an idea and that idea branched into a whole new theme with a new plot, new characters, and so much excitement!

All of this, was possible because of the readers of this story, know this because without every single one of you (whether negative, positive, or neutral) this story wouldn't have made it this far - heck it probably would have ended up deleted :(

In a way I suppose I'm like my mother. Her paintings are beautiful and unique but every time she looks at them a frown possesses her expression and I guess that's sort of how I am myself to my stories (not that I'm saying they're beautiful and unique XD)

Then again, I'm usually always frowning, sort of like Snape with his permanent sneer/scowl from Harry Potter.

Well, anyways back to the topic at hand. Everyone that has been reading this story - despite whatever negative thoughts you have on it - you have my thanks, for it is you who have made this story possible and still "standing" here.

Sincerely,

Queen

P.S.

You know those moments in your life where you can't look or continue something because it reminds you of something you rather not remember? Don't let the past hold you back, and do what you love. It may be difficult in the beginning, but in the end, it is all worth it ^.^
