We were stopped one the cliffs on top of Kunugi Station. I was leaning out of the side of the Magic Mobile, listening to the conversation below. "Some guy with a scythe and a bunch of his lackeys took over the train!" Someone complained.
"I think I know who they are." Someone added, "They're the Dark Guild punks who've been hanging around town the past few weeks."
"I can understand cars and boats, but why would they want to hijack a train?" Lucy wondered.
"It doesn't seem like it'd be a very good choice for getaways." Happy stated.
"Happy's right, this train can only follow the tracks, they're fast though." I spoke up. "If that's the case we should probably follow the line up to Oshibana station. "If this is where they hijacked the train then what their planing is probably further up the line.
"Then I guess it's up to us to figure out where those Eisenwald guys are going in such a big hurry and why." Gray commented.
"You're naked Gray!" Lucy exclaimed.
"Am I?"
"From what I can hear the military is trying to keep everything calm down there." I commented, closing my arms. "It won't be long before Eisenwald is caught."
"I hope that's the case Yami." Erza sighed before she started to drive again. She picked up speed quite quicky, and I kept my head out the window to keep an eye on things.
"Stop! Erza!" Gray shouted from the roof, "You're going way too fast! You're gonna overload the SE Plug!"
"There's no telling how many innocent people could die if Lullaby's song is played." Erza called over the wind, "I can't slow down! We have to stop Eisenwald before it's too late!"
"But at this rate, your gonna use up all your magic before we even start fighting!"
"Well, then I'll just have to rely on hand-to-hand combat. Besides I've you, Natsu and Yami as back up."
"I feel like there was something important I was supposed to tell you Lucy." Happy commented, crossing his arms. I slid back into the seat, comforted that Gray had a handle on things.
"Oh really?" Lucy wondered, "What was it?"
"I don't remember. It was just something about something I was supposed to tell you. Um...you're…"
"Totaly sick for real." Natsu groaned, his face flat on the floor of the Magic Mobole.
"That's it!"
"Are you kidding me!" Lucy exclaimed. Natsu then managed to crawl forward and hang his front half out the window. "Careful Natsu! You're gonna fall out!"
"That's what I'm aiming for…" Natsu told her.
"Don't worry about him, he's got a thick skull." I said. "He'll be fine if he falls out."
"Um...so if it wasn't 'Lucy's totally sick', then what the heck was it?" Happy wondered, his paw on his chin as he tried to determine what he was trying to tell Lucy still. "Something weird like that. Lucy's weird...hungry...fishy...I like fish. Wait. Weird, weird...weird…" I sighed, grabbing Happy by the tail and sticking him out the window. "AH! YAMI! DON'T!" Happy screamed.
"Do you promise not to make fun of Lucy?" I asked, keeping my eyes forward.
"Yes! I promise! Now put me back inside!" I casually tossed Happy into the seat opposite me. We reached Oshibana soon and we all piled out of the Magic Mobile, with Lucy hauling an unconscious Natsu out. We approached the station.
"Please stand back!" An officer called, "The station is currently closed due to a train derailment."
"Excuse me, what's going on?" Erza asked the officer.
"Why should I tell you lady?" The man questioned. Erza knocked him out.
"What's going on?" Erza moved over to the next man. When he didn't respond, Erza headbutted him.
"Seems like her questioning methods a little counterproductive." Lucy stated.
"I've learnt to just roll with it." I told her with a shrug.
"Erza's got her own way of getting things done." Gray commented.
"Where are your clothes?!" Lucy shouted.
"The Eisenwald Guild's inside." Erza declared, among a group of unconscious officers. "Let's go."
"So I gotta drag this one around?" When Gray had put his clothes back on, we raced into the station.
"A small Army unit stormed in earlier, but they've yet to return." Erza reported. "I'm guessing that they've been caught in battle with the Eisenwald forces." We came across the Army soon after, they were strewn across the stairs, all unconscious.
"They've been completely wiped out!" Happy cried.
"A guild full of experienced Wizards against the Magicless Army, the odds were stacked against them from the start." I said. "There doesn't seem to be many people here anyway." We passed the stairs and we came across the main area of the station.
"Welcome!" A voice called from above. "Step into our parlour, Fairy Tail Flies!" I grit my teeth, my eyes scanning over the Eisenwald mages scattered around the station. Above everyone was a shirtless man with white hair wielding an enormous scythe.
"Woah...there's so many of them." Lucy whimpered.
"You fiend!" Erza declared, glaring up at the man with the scythe. "I take it you're Erigor?" Lucy then dropped Natsu and tried to wake him up.
"Come on Natsu! We need your help!"
"Good luck." Happy sighed, "Between the train, Magic Mobile and you're shaking, it's a Motion Sickness triple combo!"
"I am not a vehicle!"
"Hey, you." A black-haired male growled, "It's your fault I git in trouble with Erigor. Get up."
"I know that voice." Natsu whispered.
"We're not threatened by any of you!" Erza stated. "Tell me what you're planning to do with Lullaby!"
"Oh, you haven't heard yet?" Erigor flew off the train he was sitting on and into the air. "What do all Train Stations have?"
"He flew!" Lucy gasped.
"It's Wind Magic!" Happy realised as Erigor landed on one of the many speaker systems around the room.
"You're gonna broadcast Lullaby's song!" I shouted, "Do you know how many people will die?"
"Thousands of nosy onlookers have flocked to this station to get a glimpse of the action." Erigor stated, "Who knows? If I raise the volume enough, I may be able to extinguish the entire city with my melody of death."
"What reason do you have to commit such a heinous crime against the innocent people of this town?" Erza demanded.
"This a cleansing of all those fools out there who fail to appreciate the rights they hold so dear. Who remain willfully ignorant to the plight of those who've had their rights stripped away. They've committed the sin of turning a blind eye to the world's injustice. Therefore, the reaper has come to punish them."
"But killing them isn't gonna help you get your rights back." Lucy reminded the scythe-wielding mage, "It's only gonna make it worse! That's the whole reason you were kicked out of the Wizard Leauge in the first place!"
"At this point, we've given up trying to regain our rights, we want power! Then we will be able to wash away the sins of the past and take control of what happens in the future."
"You guys are completely insane!"
"We're rolling in a new age of darkness." The man from before stated, kneeling. "'Course, by the time it gets here, you Flies will be long gone." The ground underneath him shone purple with Magic. Shadow fists shot towards Lucy, however, Natsu jumped up and punched them, setting them alight. I had slid in front of Lucy protectively. "You again?"
"Eisenwald dude." Natsu greeted, "I knew I recognised that voice."
"You're back to normal!" Lucy cheered.
"Oh, wow. Looks like we've got ourselves a party here, huh?"
"No, Natsu, these are the guys we have to fight." Natsu smashed his hand into his fist,
"Hah, like I said, it's a party."
"This is the strongest team Fairy Tail has to offer! You'd better be ready!"
"I leave them to you!" Erigor shouted, flying off the speakers, "Show them the terror of the Dark Guild Eisenwald." Erigor then disappeared.
"Natsu and Gray, go." Erza ordered, "I need you to stop him. If the two of you work together, not even Erigor the Reaper can defeat you. I'm leaving him in your hands." I looked behind us and saw Natsu and Gray butting heads. "What did I say!"
"Aye!" The two chorused before running away.
"They ran off!" An Eisenwald Member shouted,
"They're goin' after Erigor!" Another stated.
"I got it." A man in mummy headgear said, He shot wraps towards a handrail and pulling him onto the balcony, "I, the great Rayule will take them down."
"I'm coming with you." The black-haired man added, "That pink-haired dimwit is gonna pay." A shadow appeared and swallowed him whole.
"We'll catch up with them once we've finished off the rest of the men here, ok?" Erza stated. I cracked my knuckles,
"This is gonna be too easy." I commented with a grin, my canines showing.
"Three girls against an entire Magical Guild?" Lucy wondered.
"Mamma told me not to hit girls, but I can make an exception." Someone commented,
"I'm sorry ladies, you're not gonna be as cute when we're done with you." Another added.
"Let's do this." Erza ordered, sticking a hand out. A red Magical Circle appeared and a sword appeared in her grasp.
"It came out of thin air!" Lucy gasped, "A Magic Sword!"
"I would advise against insulting Fairy Tail again in front of us." I commented, dropping into a fighting stance and letting black inky magic encase my fists. "I will ensure you won't live to see the sunset if you do."
"We're not scared of you!" Someone shouted as the Mages lept towards us.
"Yeah! We've got tons of Magic Swordsman in Eisenwald!" Another added.
"And Caster-Type Wizards are so common we have a lot of them too!" With two swipes, the first wave of Mages fell, their weapons destroyed. I lept into the bulk of the Mages, a black ink-covered foot knocking them down easily. Between my Magic, and Erza Requiping her weapons lightning-fast, we got through the bulk of the mages quickly. Cancer then appeared and took out a handful of mages as well.
"That was impressive." Erza complimented.
"Thanks, but it was no big deal." Lucy replied.
"However, this crab spirit of yours, the way he calls you baby,, I find it quite insulting."
"Erza, there's still a lot of guys here." I commented,
"I thought we took care of most of them. Annoying, but we'll wipe them out." Erza requiped, her everyday armour being replaced by her Heavens Wheel Armour. "Now, dance my swords! Circle Sword!" Erza sent her swords forward and took out most of the remaining enemy Wizards.
"Alright, you're dealing with me now!" Someone shouted, running forward with his fists lit up.
"Don't do it Byard!" A fat man shouted at his friend, "Do you have any idea who those women are?" I smirked, waiting until this Byard person was close, before sinking my fist into his stomach, knocking him out cold. "That one's the Queen of the Fairies! 'Titania' Erza! And that other one is the Fairy's Dragon! 'The Shadow' Yami!" Erza requiped back into her normal armour. "Forget this! I'm out of here!" The fat man cried, running out of the room.
"I would imagine he's going to look for Erigor." Erza stated, turning to Lucy, "You should follow him."
"Who me?" Lucy questioned. Erza glared at the blonde.
"Just do it!"
"Whatever you say!" Lucy shouted as she ran away with Happy flying behind, "I don't want to make you angry!"
"I'm going with her." I said to Erza, turning to her slightly. "Think you'll be alright after that."
"I'll be fine." Erza assured. "Just be safe." I smirked at her.
"It's Eisenwald you have to worry about Titania, I'm gonna be fine." I then turned on my heel and raced after Lucy.
