Recap: A few minutes later, after Erza brought them onto a balcony, they see what the problem is. They were in like a giant tornado that Erza said was what Erigor called a wind barrier.

{Well, that's not good,} Fawkes said, but only Harry heard him.

"Couldn't you get passed it?" he asked the phoenix, who turned his golden eyes to meet his Avada green.

{Wind can do one of two things. One: they can spread fire, or two: extinguish it.} Harry sighed when he heard this; that means that Fawkes won't be able to use his fire to get through the barrier.

'What if…' An idea popped into the raven-haired wizard's head. He points his wand at the wind barrier and shouts, "Turbo!" A tornado shot out of the tip of his wand, but when it hit the must larger winds it dissipated; making it look like it was never there to begin with.

{It was worth a shot; however, you would've needed to make that Turbo a lot stronger to match that barrier's power, and go in the opposite direction the wind barrier is going in to be able to stop it,} Fawkes lectured like how a teacher would to their student.

"Yeah, didn't think of all of that. I'm not…" Harry stopped his train of thought; or rather it stopped on him. "I'm not who…? Who was I about to say the name of? I think it was a girl's name…" he started rambling. "I think she was a friend, but I can't remember." He started to growl in frustration. "I HATE HAVING AMNESIA!" Before the young wizard could say anymore, Natsu cuts him off by slamming into him.

"OOF!" they both voiced when they hit into each other and onto the ground. Harry looks up at Natsu, who is on top of him, and asks, "Why did you crash into me?" He also noticed that Fawkes abandoned him, because he was flying in circles above them while chirping happily. Harry knows that he's laughing. He looked back down at Natsu, who is rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.

"I charged at the wind barrier with me body covered in my flames shortly after your attack, but instead of breaking through, it threw me back, and you know the rest," the pink-haired Dragon Slayer explained.

Harry made an unamused face. "I really wish sometimes you could understand Fawkes. He mentioned that fire doesn't work too well on wind." Harry explains the rest of what Fawkes told him about the two possibilities that could happen to fire when wind in involved when Natsu cocked his head to the side in question.

"KAGEYAMA! WAKE UP, WE NEED YOU!" Harry and Natsu turned their heads in the direction they heard Erza's voice coming from and saw that she's shaking the poor, still knocked out man.

Lucy slides into the picture and says, "Erza, you're not going to be able to wake him up like that!" she shouted.

Harry decides to put his two cents in. "Not only that, but I don't think he'll be strong enough to destroy this barrier thanks to almost dying!" he called out. When he was done talking, he pushed Natsu off of him and stood up.

Gray walks up to Lucy. "Do you have any spirits that could dig us out?" he asked.

"No, none of my spirits have that kind of power," Lucy replied.

Fawkes landed back on Harry's shoulder and pointed his beak to Happy. Harry looks over at the blue cat to see a thoughtful look on his face and muttering, "Digging spirits… hold on… AAAHHHH!" Harry, Natsu, Lucy, and Gray jumped at the sudden shout of realization. Happy bounces over to Lucy. "I just remembered what I wanted to tell you, Lucy," he said.

"Tell me what?" she asked in return.

Happy holds up a celestial golden key. "This!" Happy exclaimed dramatically.

Lucy was in shock. "How did you get your paws on Virgo's key?!" she demanded to know.

"Well, remember when you, Natsu, and I went to burn down Everlue mansion? Well, when he was sent to prison, Virgo asked me to give her key to you," Happy explained.

"I got a giant monster for a spirit?!" Lucy exclaimed.

"Awesome!" Natsu shouted right after her.

Harry and Fawkes were confused, but let this continue. "Sorry, Happy, but we really don't have time for this," Lucy said kind of rudely.

Happy started to sulk. "I'm sorry, it's just that since Virgo could dig, you could summon her and she could dig us out." This stopped everyone in their tracks, and then turns back to Happy in shock.

"He's right!" they all say, besides Harry and Fawkes.

"So that what's going on," Harry muttered to himself, but Fawkes still heard him and nodded his feathery head in agreement.

Lucy summons Virgo and what they all saw was a young girl with pink hair, blue eyes, wears a maid outfit, and… are those shackles? Harry had to do a double take. 'Yup those are shackles. Why does she have them on, and why are they all shocked? Wait, didn't Lucy say something about a monster for a spirit? Doesn't look like one to me.'

"Who are you?" Lucy asked in surprised.

Natsu doesn't seemed put off by the new spirit. "Hey, Virgo! How are you?" he asked, remembering her scent.

"I'm doing fine, thank you," she replied.

Harry watched this interaction for a few moments when he heard Natsu saying that he liked her better as a big, scary monster, and then her turning into it.

"AHHH! Don't listen to him, I'm your mage!" Lucy shouted, and Virgo turned back to normal.

"As you wish." Harry now understood what was going on.

"Can we get going? We still have to save the masters," Harry spoke up after being silent for a little while.

Lucy looks to him in surprise and in slight guilt. "Oh, right." She turns back to Virgo. "Sorry, but can we hold off on the contract? I need you to dig us out of here, can you do that?" she asked.

Virgo bowed. "Your wish is my command." Right after she said this, she dived down into the ground.

Everyone surround the hole. "Well, that's handy," Gray said.

{Let's get going,} Fawkes said, digging his talons into Harry's shoulder and dragged him down into the hole with him while his master screamed is surprised. Everyone else followed.

When they were on the other side of the barrier, they noticed just how strong the wind is. Harry had to hold onto Fawkes before he was swept away in the current.

"Okay, not that we're out, let's get back to the Magic Mobile, and set off after Erigor!" Erza ordered.

Harry looked around. "I think someone may have been a step ahead of you," he said when he didn't see Natsu and Happy.

Gray looked around as well. "We should follow them before they destroy everything."

Harry saw Kageyama get up. "I don't understand why you think you even have time to stop Erigor," he said.

Harry rolled his eyes. "I don't understand why you thought we would just give up," he replied. "Let's get going." They all hop into the car, bringing Kageyama with them.


Natsu and Happy were going as fast as they could to catch up with Erigor the Reaper. Natsu is using his feet as rocket jets, and Happy used his wings to fly them. This seemed to help them catch up, because they saw who they were looking for still flying across the tracks.

"ERIGOR!" Natsu shouted; anger on his face and in his eyes. Happy threw him down at Erigor, and Natsu coated his first in fire, cocking it back, and swung down at his enemy when he got close enough. The punch landed right on Erigor's face, but he didn't get pushed back far. Natsu was hoping to make him crash into something, not air. How do you even crash on the air? It's not solid.

Natsu finds out that if the winds are strong enough, you can crash into it, or in his case get slammed with it. Erigor send a tornado of wind at him and it send him crashing into the train tracks. Natsu got back up shortly after with a smirk.

"Natsu, you okay?" Happy asked from the air, somewhere not in between the fighters.

"Yeah, I'm okay, little buddy," he replied cockily while wiping his mouth from any drool and/or blood, and not taking his eyes off of his opponent. "Is that the best you can do, Erigor? Happy hits harder than that with a fish!" Natsu called up mockingly.

"FISH?! WHERE?!" Happy exclaimed, but Natsu and Erigor ignore him.

While still smirking, Natsu says, "Now, let me show you a real attack." He punches his fists together, inhales deeply, and fists his hands in front of his mouth, all the while saying, "Fire Dragon's Rooooaaaaaarrrrrr!" Fire came out of his mouth and aimed right at Erigor, who blocks it with his wind magic.

Natsu jumps up into the air, arms cover in flames. "Fire Dragon's Wing Attack!" This was also blocked. The Dragon Slayer landed back onto the tracks.

Erigor is now the one smirking. "Has anyone ever told you that you can never defeat wind with fire? If not then let me show you!" He made some movements with his left hand fingers, and then aimed it at Natsu. "Storm Bringer!"

Natsu got caught in a tornado, not as big as the ones Harry makes, but still just as deadly. When the attack ended, Natsu was trying to get his bearings when Erigor came at him with his scythe. Natsu couldn't move out of the way, but that's what Happy's for. The flying, blue cat dived down and grabbed Natsu before he was sliced in two.

"Thanks, Happy," Natsu said gratefully. Happy dropped him back down on the tracks.

Erigor didn't really look amused. "Looks like you're still alive, but for how long? Storm Mail!" he called out the name of the attack, and it looked like the wind barrier that was back at the train station around his body. "Here I come, Fairy Fly!" Erigor charged at Natsu, who couldn't dodge the tornado in time, and Happy wouldn't have been able to get to him either. Natsu and the tracks were hit by the destructive power, but Natsu looked better than the tracks did when it stopped.

After a few moments, Natsu got back up and replying to Happy's worried call. He tried to get passed the wind armor, but none of his flames would pierce through it. This seemed to only anger Natsu, however.

"Is that the best you can do?" Erigor laughed. "Storm Shred!" Natsu had to dodge the blades of wind, and when the barrages ended, Natsu charged up to attack.

"Fire Dragon's Sword Horn!" Natsu got close before his fire went out and he fell back down onto the broken tracks. At this point, Natsu's roar of anger didn't sound human. He grabbed hold of tracks while his body was in flames. "What the heck is WRONG with me?!" he shouted. "Why can't I hit him?!"

Natsu didn't notice, but his flames spread out to four points around the area. He was no longer holding onto the metal part of the train tracks, and his flames were getting hotter the angrier he gets.

This apparently gave Happy an idea. "Hey, Natsu," Natsu looked over at his friend, "you stink. You should give up and let Gray deal with this." Natsu made a face that said he couldn't believe what his friend could say such a thing, but it got the reaction that Happy was looking for.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" Natsu shout of anger sounded more demonic than human.

Natsu was so angry that he didn't notice that Erigor's shield is no longer protecting him because of the heat from his flames were dragging the winds toward him instead. He charged at the Eisenwald leader while shouting, "Fire Dragon's Iron First! Fire Dragon's Claw! Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flames!" There was a bit of a pause on the onslaught of attacks. "Fire Dragon's Secret Art: Crimson Lotus: Exploding Flame Blade!" When the attack hit Erigor, the man was not getting back up any time soon.

"You did it, Natsu! I knew you could!" Happy said like his name sake.

"Oh, you did, did you? I remember you saying I should give up," Natsu said mockingly.

"Cat's don't have very good memories."

"You said that I should give up and let Erza handle it!"

"Wow, your memory is worse than mine! I said Gray, not Erza."

"THAT'S EVEN WORSE!"

Right after the argument was over, the rest of their friends showed up.


While on their way to catch up with Natsu and Happy, Harry doesn't even know why he didn't just do what Fawkes suggested – teleport! Not long after getting into the Magic Mobile, Fawkes tells him that if he held onto him, he could teleport them to the guild masters in less than a second. Why is he still not doing it? Oh yeah, it's because his friends are too trusting with dark mages.

Harry sighed, he really wished he knew why he has trust issues. Then again, it might have something to do with this Voldemort. Ever since hearing the name, he's been getting flash backs of a snake-like man – if you can call him that – with blood red, snake eyes. He just had another flash back of a woman screaming and green light. He recognized that flash as the killing curse, but he couldn't remember the woman who screamed. He could tell that he, himself, was a baby, if his height was anything to go by. So, if a dark wizard is heartless enough to kill babies, than why not dark mages? This is why Harry doesn't trust anyone who is a dark mage, wizard, or witch.

When they hit a bump in the tracks, Harry will admit that Kageyama may be the first dark mage he ran into – that he can remember – that is the most human. Lucy bumped into him with her butt, and she tried to say sorry, but the dark mage asked if her butt could get any bigger. To Harry, this was a normal response that anyone could have said, even though they could say it a little nicer, or not say it at all, but will be thinking it.

He could also tell that his friends are trying to get Kageyama to 'see the light' by telling him that there is more to life than just killing. If this works, Harry agrees to never question his friends about this again. He just doesn't see it working.

Okay, after a bit of thinking, it could work on Kageyama, but on someone like Voldemort? Not a chance! Harry can tell that Voldemort is pure evil, or at least close to it. He also needs to stop thinking about the Dark Lord, because every time he does, he always feels like something is missing. Like it's been there with him for all his life, but now it's gone. He asked Fawkes about this, and he said it might have something to do with his scar. Harry didn't understand this too well, but he did remember that there use to be pain coming from it before. Maybe Voldemort had something to do with it. He's sure he'll remember one day.

They finally caught up with Natsu and Happy. Harry is sure he can see Erigor's unconscious, charred body not far from Natsu. 'So, he beat him. That's good,' thought Harry.

Harry decided to stay by Kageyama to keep an eye on him while the rest of the Fairy Tail mages check on Natsu. Harry noticed something on the destroyed tracks not that far from where he's standing, and saw the same flute as on the train – Lullaby.

Harry would have gone for it, if it wasn't for getting wrapped up in shadows, his wand being ripped out of his hand, being stuffed by into the car, and Kageyama driving off while grabbing Lullaby on the way.

"See ya Fairy Tail flies! I'll be taking this one, so if you try and stop me, I'll make sure he's the first to die!" Kageyama laughed while driving down the tracks at full speed. At this point, Harry called out to Fawkes to go to the guild masters, but he couldn't say anymore, because the dark mage covered his mouth as well.

TBC


Well, Harry's been kidnapped. I have been reading fanfics where this happens. I'm sorry, Harry. :(

Harry: …Why did I get kidnapped?

Enj/Dark: If it were anyone else, Kageyama would have done the same thing with them, but I thought this is better since you do have trust issues.

Voldy: So he's not being kidnapped because of his powers?

Enj/Dark: No. Only you know how much of a threat Harry can be. But thanks to his memory problem, he's not as strong as when you two last fought.

Zeref: Is that why you haven't had them bumped into each other yet?

Enj/Dark: That, and because Voldemort is still keeping a low profile.

Harry: Really? I thought Voldemort would use this opportunity to kill me.

Enj/Dark: You would think. And, Harry, I've been meaning to tell you this, but it's Voldemort, kick the T sound off.

Voldy: THANK YOU! THEY'VE BEEN SAYING IT WRONG!

Natsu: Oh, even I've been saying it wrong then. Oh well.

Harry: How do you know that?

Enj/Dark: J.K. Rowling said so herself. Now, then, Natsu, could you?

Natsu: Please review! XD
