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.
"They can only follow the tracks." Mizuki confirmed with a nod. "But they're really fast." Mizuki summoned her wings and flew to get a closer view of the station.
"We should follow the line to Oshibana, babe." I suggested, leaning out the window more to see Erza better, "If they took over the train here then their objective is probably another station."
"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?"
"Well, Mizuki can see that the Military is already working to get it all under control." Mizuki commented, floating back to us, "So she thinks that it won't be long before the people who did this will be caught sooner or later."
"I hope that's the case Mizuki." Erza sighed before she started to drive again. She picked up speed quite quicky, and my stomach became a roller coaster. I was hanging out the side of the window still.
"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 Yui as back up."
"That is if we survive this ride." I groaned. The entire rest of the ride was blurry until we reached Oshibana station. We all piled out of the Magic Mobile. Mizuki was safe in my arms, Happy and Gray standing with Lucy hauling an unconscious Natsu out of the Magic Mobile. 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. Mizuki had left my arms and was flying overhead.
"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.
"Erigor's using Wind Magic!" Mizuki 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. "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 Eayule 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,
"No prob babe." I said with a grin, "It's been a while since we fought together."
"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 an arm 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 silver flames encase my fists. "My Mate and 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 flame 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 handfull 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, despite you not being in a relationship, 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. I stepped back, making a pipe with my hands, "Now, dance my swords!"
"Eclipse Dragon Roar!" I called, my flames hitting Erza's spinning swords. My flames attached to her blades and they lit.
"Circle Swords of Fire!" Erza sent her swords forward and took out most of the enemy.
"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 yawned, sticking my foot out and tripping Byard. He stumbled, and Erza used the but of her sword to knock her out. "They're the Queen's of the Fairies! 'Titania' Erza, and her partner, 'Eclipse' Yui." 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!"
"Mizuki can you go with them?" I asked, looking up at my feline companion as she circled ahead. She gave a salute and put on a burst of speed, zipping after Lucy and Happy. Erza sighed. She then started to wobble on her feet. I grabbed her arm and helped her onto the floor.
"You overdid it on the Magic Mobile and used too much of your magic power." I told her. "Listen, you stay here, I'll tell the public what's going on." Erza nodded. I smiled, pressing a kiss to her temple before standing. I retrieved one of the megaphones from one of the fallen officers and making my way to the balcony where everyone was gathered. There was a muttering as I appeared. I hauled myself onto the railing, standing tall as I put the megaphone to my lips, "Everyone!" I announced, "Leave this area imminently if you value your lives! Oshibana Station has been taken over by Dark Wizards! They are planning on broadcasting a deadly spell that could kill all of you! So please, for the sake of your families, run as far away as you can!" There was a beat of silence until everyone ran.
"Hey, lady, why would you make everyone panic like that?" An officer asked.
"Tell me, would you rather them die than panic?" I asked him, "You and your colleagues need to evacuate now." After everyone had left, I sighed. Thank Mavis… I thought, Now that Erigor's plan has failed, let's see what he does now. I frowned as the wind picked up behind me. Strange, it was calm only a second ago. I turned and paled. A giant tornado had formed around Oshibana Station. "A Wind Barrier!" I gasped. Someone was laughing behind me, and I turned on my heel to see Erigor.
"I've always wanted the opourtunity to fight one of the Fairy Queen's."
"Ok, for the record, Erza is the true Queen, she's the one with the nickname Titania."
"How unfortunate. However, I don't have any time to play right now. Erigor lifted his hand and threw me backwards into the WInd Barrier. I stumbled back, glaring at the wall of wind in front of me. I ran forward, slaming mysfl at the barrier and trying to break through. However, I was thrown back and hit one of the stone pilars, groaning in pain.
"Yui!" Era called as she fell to my side. She rested her hand on my shoulder, causing me to let out a hiss. I looked at my shoulder and saw it was damaged from Erigor's spell.
"It's useless! There's no way you'll ever be able to break through my Magic Sealing Barrier. You see, it's one way only. If you try to escape, the wind will tear you apart."
"What is the meaning of this you scoundral!" Erza shouted at the man outside the barrier.
"We've wasted enough of our time on you Fairy Tail Flies. Now, if you'll excuse me." Erigor flew away.
"Get back here you pasty skinned freak!" I shouted. "We'll stop you no matter what!"
"He wasnt targeting the station." Erza realised. "Just what is he planing." My eyebrows pinched together before they widened in alarm.
"Clover." I gasped. Erza looked to me, "The last stop for this train is Clover! It's the only way in and out of town, but Erigor can fly! He wants to use the Lullaby on the Guild Masters!"
"We will stop then."
