Chapter nine; A thirst for blood
My computer is being an ass, so I'll be writing on my phone until I can fix the problem or when I punch the stupid hacker in the face or if I right a better algorithm to kick the hacker in the b*lls. So enjoy my awesomeness for now!
Erza brooded over the new friend or foe that they met. She was busy driving one of the magical vehicles that they borrowed for the train station and though Gray and Lucy fell into conversation she wasn't really paying attention. Erza couldn't help but feel worried. This unknown vigilante seemed dangerous and was apparently thirsty for blood. He wasn't going to let Erigor leave alive.
"What do you think, Erza?" Gray asked suddenly.
"What?" Erza asked as she was suddenly pulled out of her daydreaming.
"I asked what you're thoughts are on that arrow guy. He seems like someone we know, doesn't he?" Gray asked as he frowned in thought.
"What person do we know that is blood thirsty?" Erza asked in irritation. She wasn't trusting this man at all.
"Well there is a lot of blood thirsty people I know. Laxus is one of them." Gray snickered. Erza growled and hit Gray hard behind his head.
"This is kind of serious. If the council finds out about this guy, they will surely lose it." Erza stated as she tried to focus on where she was driving.
"It can't be that serious, can it Erza?" Lucy asked curiously.
"If he's serious about killing Erigor, than yes." Erza sighed. The archer had disappeared when the three wizards found the vehicle and ever since Erza had been on edge. Lucy and Gray already knew that Erza didn't quite trust him, but now that she brought the council up they started to realize how serious it was.
'You know, I can hear everything you're saying." A deep voice broke through their thoughts. Erza growled in irritation as she recognized the infamous voice.
"He knows telepathy magic." Erza stated in irritation as she sped up.
"Where the hell is he then? He can't be that far then." Gray stated as his head swerved around.
'Here you idiot.' Natsu stated as a loud roar burst through the air. Natsu wheelie'd a black bike in front of the car and sped forward.
"Where the hell did he get that?!" Lucy shouted as she stared at the clearly expensive bike.
'I have my connections.' With a clear smile on his face. They weren't far from Clover now and Natsu felt determination burn inside of him. He wouldn't let his father down and he wouldn't let his city be poisoned further and this was one way of curing it.
Natsu and the rest stopped in front of the train station and noticed something horrifying. Council soldiers along with civilians lay scattered across the train station. Natsu put his fingers on one of the soldiers necks to check they have a pulse.
"Their alive, but barely. Erigor was here. He's on a rampage again. I need to find him before anything else can happen." Natsu stated in irritation.
"You mean we need to find Erigor." Erza muttered as they walked through the train station. As they reached the train track they noticed a man leaning against the roof beam of the train station. He had white hair along with a enormous scythe. He had purple tattoos on his chest and a small one beneath his eyes. He smiled wickedly as he noticed Natsu.
"You still wear the same outfit don't you?" Erigor asked wickedly. Natsu felt anger burn in his chest as he stared at the grim reaper.
"I could say the same, but the scythe is new." Natsu shot back.
"Hold on, you two know each other?" Gray intervened.
"Oh yes, The flaming arrow and I go way back." Erigor grinned. Lucy, Erza and Gray gaped at Natsu at the mention of the name.
"You nor anyone may call me that." Natsu growled as memories flooded back to him.
'Well we have to call you something then.' A middle age woman stated as she placed her hands on her hips. She was currently on the beach of Tenroe island. Natsu was standing in front of her with his bow. They were supposed to be hunting, but Layla had other plans.
'I don't need to be called anything, Layla. I'm not a superhero.' Natsu stated as he crossed his arms over his chest.
'Still stubborn as the first day you came here, I see.' Layla smiled brightly. 'My daughter would've liked you.'
'Yeah too bad we're never getting off of this island.' Natsu sighed as he looked down. Layla's smile turned into a sad one.
'Don't give up hope. Besides I think I know what I'm going to call you. The flaming arrow.' Layla smiled proudly.
Natsu's gaze quickly shifted to Lucy and then back at his enemy. Erigor was on the island with Natsu, thankfully Erigor never knew his identity because of Natsu's hood. When they first met Natsu had completely concealed himself.
"Oh, did I struck a nerve? She thought it was rather suiting, don't you say?" Erigor asked. Natsu growled in anger as he pulled out an arrow and shot it straight at Erigor. The man easily slapped it away with a slice of wind. Gray decided to intervene since he didn't want him to have all the fun.
"Ice make: Floor!" Gray shouted as he turned the floor into ice."Ice make: lance!" As Ergor was practically vulnerable Gray shot the lances straight at him. Erigor dodged them as he made his way to his feet. Erza had already requiped into heavens wheeled and struck out. Sword and Scythe clashed in fury.
"Alright I guess I should join in too! Open gate of the water bearer: Aqaurius!" Lucy shouted as she opened the gate in tap water.
"I told you not to call me when I'm on a date!" Aqaurius growled. Natsu eyed the fish woman in something like fear.
"Of all people you called her?!" Natsu shouted as he shot another arrow at Erigor.
"She is one of my strongest keys, what was I supposed to do?!" Lucy shouted back in anger.
"Oh you're hanging out with him again? Well looks like your love life isn't completely shattered." Aqaurius smiled. Lucy blushed furiously as she stared at Natsu.
"H-hey! Would you just help out?" Lucy asked as she pointed towards Erigor.
"If it means that you'll finally have a boyfriend of your own then with pleasure." Aqaurius stated as she shot a large amount of water straight at Erigor knocking him a few feet back onto the floor. He groaned in pain as his head hit the railway. Aqaurius disappeared with another statement about Lucy's love life that made Lucy blush furiously, unfortunately it was to soft between all the commotion to pick up what it was.
Natsu leaped onto Erigor and punched him on the left side of his jaw. Erigor howled in pain, but it was to short lived because Natsu continued to beat him. After a few more good hits Natsu jumped off of him and pulled back an arrow.
"What are you planning, Erigor?!" Natsu shouted angrilly.
"Revenge Arrow, revenge. You think I don't know who your family is?" Natsu's eyes widened at this statement. What worried him is that he didn't know what family he meant. Fairytail or the Dragneel's/ Redfox's. "Fairytail will fall, boy." Natsu roared in anger as his fired his arrow straight at Erigor. Erza's eyes widened in realization when she saw what was happening.
Enjoy my cliffhanger XD
