My heels clacked against the tiled floor as I raced towards where my nose told me where Lucy was. "Come on." I muttered angrily. I soon came across her and Happy, Lucy was walking idly while Happy flew beside her. "Lucy…" I breathed. I jogged to meet her. "Lucy." I called when I was close. Lucy turned to face me. I placed my hands on her forearms. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm ok." Lucy replied. "Are you gonna join us?" Her voice seemed to take on a hopeful tone. I nodded. And with that, the three of us continued our journey through the seemingly abandoned station. "This is useless! We can't find him anywhere!"

"Aye." Happy agreed.

"Why don't you say we just head back to whew Erza is."

"AAAHHH!" Happy shouted.

"Woah, what's with the crazy reaction?"

"Erza gave you an order to go after the fat man. So you-you have to do what she say's Lucy. Ignoring an order from Erza is never a good idea. She's gonna be super angry with you! And if I have to watch her punish you it may scar me for life!"

"Oh please." Lucy scoffed. She then wrapped her arms around one of mine, her chest pushing into my bicep. My cheeks flushed red as her scent washed over me. "I've got Yami on my side. She's way stronger than Erza, she'll protect me. But, if you think she'll be super mad at me and hurt me if we don't listen to her then we can continue looking."

"The thought of an Erza smackdown scare some sense into you."

"Shut up stupid cat." Lucy and I chorused. We continued looking again. Lucy hadn't let go of my arm, and I wasn't about to say anything against it, I liked it. The building then shook, causing all of us to tense.

"Why is the building shaking like that?" Lucy asked woridly.

"That's probably Natsu." I sighed. "He's always doing stuff like this." I lifted my nose into the air, and took a long whiff. "I've got him, let's go." Sadly, Lucy let go of my arm as the two of us followed my nose to Natsu. We soon came across the others. Erza was shaking a man, demanding he wake up, Gray was telling her to calm down while Natsu glard at a hole in the wall, where the man Lucy was sent to track down as lying unconcious.

"Uhh...bad timing, huh." Lucy muttered.

"Aye." Happy agreed. Our group moved out to the entrance of the station, where a large Wind Barrier stood, encasing the entire station. On the way, we were informed of what Erigor's true plan was.

"What! Erigor wants to use Lullaby on the Guild Masters?" Lucy exclaimed. I grit my teeth. Gramps...

"Oh, we have to stop him!" Natsu declared.

"That's easier said than done." Erza informed him, kneeling next to the still unconscious Kage. Before we had left the building, we bandaged Kage up and bought him with us, we weren't gonna let him die. "Erigor cut off our only means of reaching Clover and is heading there by air."

"I'm pretty sure that we could catch up to him on the Magic Mobile." Gray commented. "But, we can't do anything until we figure out how to get on the other side of this barrier."

"How are we gonna do that?" Lucy wondered. I encased my fist in black, inky magic, launcing myself at the Wind Barrier. My first made contact with it, and I was instantly thrown back. I skidded to a stop and glared at the Wind Barrier.

"See, that's what happens if you try to bust through."

"Kage, wake up." Erza pleaded, "You're our only hope right now." I could hear Natsu still trying to break through the Wind Barrier.

"I can't even get close." I muttered angrily, grabbing Natsu's scarf to stop him from trying to hurt himself more. "If I can't do that, I can't eat the Eathernanno that created this."

"Ahh!" Natsu screamed, "We could use your spirits!" I looked up and saw him staring at Lucy, "Back at Everlue's, I was pulled from one place to another through the Spirit World!"

"Well yeah, but Normal People would suffocate to death if they tried that." Lucy told him. "It's hard to breathe in their world. Besides, a Celestial Wizard can only open a gate wherever they are standing. Ok, let me simplify this for you. Even if we could pass through the Spirit World, we would need another Celestial Wizard to open a gate outside the Train Station for us to pass through."

"You're totaly confusing me. Just hurry up and do it!"

"But I told you I can't! Not to mention the very act of a Human entering the Spirit World is a serious breach of contract. I didn't care when Yami did it because it wasn't my key, it was Everlue's."

"Everlue's key…hold on..." Happy muttered. "Ahh!" He exclaimed, causing me to jump. "I just remembered Lucy!"

"Remembered what?" Lucy asked.

"What I was trying to tell you on the way here!"

"On the way here? Oh yeah, when you mean you kept calling me weird?" Happy then pulled out a somewhat familiar golden key from his back. A Celestial Gate Key.

"Look!"

"How'd you get your paws on Virgo's Key?!" Lucy exclaimed. Lucy grabbed Happy's lips and gripped it tight. "Didn't anyone teach you that it's wrong to steal things?"

"But I didn't steal it. Virgo asked me to give it to you." Lucy let go of Happy's lips.

"Come on guys, we're wasting way too much of our time listening to this nonsense."

"Who's Virgo?" Natsu wondered. I thought for a second.

"She's that gorilla-looking maid that worked at Everlue's."

"Apparently her contract with Everlue was broken as soon as he was arrested." Happy explained, still holding the key out to Lucy, "Before we left that day, she came up to me and said she wanted to sign a new contract with you Lucy!"

"Great, I get a big ugly spirit." Lucy groaned. "Anyway, thanks for letting me know, but I'll have to deal with her later. If you didn't realise it, right now we need to find a way out of here."

"But-"

"Shut up!" Lucy started to pull Happy's cheeks. "Why can't you just meow like every other cat!"

"She can be pretty scary, huh?" Gray wondered.

"She must have learned it from Yami." Natsu added.

"I didn't teach her that so don't blame me!" I shouted at the pinkette. Once Lucy had released Happy, he went to go sulk in a corner.

"I'm sorry." Happy sobbed. "I just thought since Virgo can drill holes, maybe she can dig through the ground and get us to the Ither side."

"She can!" Erza gasped.

"Seriously!" Gray added.

"Your right! She can!" Lucy realised. "Your so smart Happy!" Lucy praised, "Why didn't you mention that sooner silly kitty!"

"Someone was pinching my face." Happy stated. Lucy then fell to her knees, bowing at the blue feline.

"My most sincere, humble, heartfelt apologies. I promise I'll make it up to you. Just please let me have the key!"

"Give me some fish and all is forgiven!" Happy then handed the Key to Lucy who took it gratefully. Lucy then turned away from us.

"I call upon thee in the world of the Celestial Spirits. I beckon you to my side at once, pass through the gate." Lucy chanted, "Open! Gate of the Maiden! Virgo!" There was a crack in the ground, and a woman sprung forth, landing on her feet in a bowed position. She was wearing a maid's uniform, much like Lucy had been not too long ago, knee-high white socks and black boots, with chains wrapped her wrists, a maid's hat settled in her short pink hair and blue eyes. I blinked. This was not the Virgo we fought at Everlue's Mansion.

"You summoned, Mistress?" Virgo wondered. Even her voice was different, more feminine and soothing. "What can I do for you?" Lucy looked shocked, staring at Virgo with a confused stare.

"Who are you?"

"What's up Burger?" Natsu greeted, stepping towards Virgo, "Man, you look great. You've lost some weight."

"My name's Virgo." The Maid replied. "I apologise for any trouble I might have caused you."

"It's ok." I told her, "You were contracted to Everlue, you had to follow his orders."

"She didn't just lose weight Natsu!" Lucy cried.

"What do you mean?" Gray asked her.

"She's like a totally different person!"

"I'm a very loyal spirit who'll do anything to please her Wizard." Virgo explained. "So I try to take on whatever form I think my Wizard will find most appealing."

"I don't know, I kind of liked it when you were all big and tough-looking." Natsu commented.

"Did you really? Well then…" Virgo was surrounded in a yellow glow for a second before turning into her large self again, "I can switch back if you like." Virgo's voice had deepened once again.

"Don't listen to him!" Lucy ordered, "I'm your Wizard and I like the other form better!" Virgo glowed again before returning to her slimmer self.

"As you wish, Mistress."

"I'm afraid we don't have much time, can we work out the Contract Details later?"

"Of course, whatever you'd like Mistress."

"Do you really have to call me 'mistress'?"

"Would you prefer I called you Queen?"

"No."

"What about Princess?"

"Oh yeah, that's more like it."

"Ok, enough with the nicknames, can you just tell her to make the tunnel and we can get out of here?" I asked.

"Yes, Ma'am." Virgo said, her eyes shining red for a second, "Now." A Magic Circle appeared under her and Virgo started to create a tunnel out of the Train Station.

"Oh wow, look at her go." Gray commented.

"Nicely done Lucy." Erza complimented as she smashed Lucy's head into her chestplate.

"Come on now everyone, let's get out of here." I ordered, eying the Wind Barrier. Out the corner of my eye, I saw Natsu pick up Kage.

"What do you think you're doing?" Gray asked him.

"I know he's one of our enemies, but I'd feel guilty if we just left him here to die." Everyone then crawled through the tunnels. Everyone made it safely out from the Wind Barrier and to the other side. "Looks like we made it out." Gray shouted over the wind. Erigor's Wind Barrier looked like a tornado had encompassed the entire Train Station. Everyone's hair was whipping around all over the place.

"Let's head toward Clover." Erza ordered.

"Woah! This wind is Crazy!" Lucy complained.

"It's no use." A voice groaned. I turned and saw Kage lying on the floor, barley awake, "You'll never be able to catch up to Erigor. You can't stop us. We've won."

"Where's Natsu?" Erza wondered, looking around.

"Happy's gone too!" I added, looking around as well. Those boys...so reckless...but right now they're our only hope. Come on Natsu...you can beat Erigor. We all piled into the Magic Mobile once more, Erza in the driver's seat as we shot off towards Clover.

"So tell me, why are you taking me with you?" Kage asked. I was glaring hardly at him, my eyes shining a dangerous blue.

"Because you obviously need a doctor." Lucy stated. "And since everyone left town, you'll have to see one in Clover. Try and show some gratitude."

"I don't understand. Why are you helping me? We're enemies. Oh wait, I get it, you're taking me hostage so you can try and make a deal with Erigor. Well you can forget it, he could care less about me or any of his men."

"Jeez, lighten up dude."

"If you wanna die, we can make that happen." Gray told him.

"Gray, chill out." I ordered.

"There's a whole lot more to this world than just life and death you know. You shuld try to look for the positive. You and your Eisenwald Pals." The car then went over a nasty bump and the ntire cabin got jostled around. I stuck my head out the side of the window.

"Hey, Erza, what happened? You alright?" I asked.

"It's ok." Erza called back, "Everything's fine now." I stuck my head back into the car.

"I am so sorry." Lucy apologised to Kage.

"Could your butt be any bigger." he complained.

"Sexual harrassment!" The other blonde turned to me, pointing harshly at Kage. "Kill him Yami! He said I had a big butt!" One of my hands snapped out and grabbed Kage's neck, the other sparking dangerously with inky black magic. I glared harshly at the black haited man.

"You better watch what you say." I snarled. "Lucy is under my protection, any harm comes to her, you will suffer a thousand times wose." Kage paled under my gaze, the fearin his eyes clear as day.
