KingjGamer: true, but I personally find Erigor to be a lot weaker than Abyss, and I think comparing the likes of Doom to Erigor to be a little funny.
Freakingname13: Thank you for the suggestion.
Guest2: Erigor had it coming. A pink haired kid with protagonist vibes? Where have I seen that before...
Guest: Ok, you made me laugh with the Baldurs Gate thing, I loved it.
OniTenshi500: Lemon and Virgo as love rivals!
Guest: I think it is a mixture of both. Thats also what makes him adorable. I do think Natsu would be able to eat his flames, althought with a little dificulty since they are black flames.
After Mash's crushing victory the rest of the team finally got there on the magic vehicle with Erza seeming to be dizzy while she left the vehicle
"Erza, are you alright?" Lucy asked while holding Erza
"I'm fine, don't worry." Erza said trying to keep her composure
"You guys threw quite the party, huh?" Gray said walking up to them
"Who did all of this was Mash. This dude completely destroyed Erigor!" Natsu said, which made Mash give everyone a thumbs up "Also, Mash! Are you really a Wind Dragon Slayer!?"
"I'm not." Mash answered which disappointed Natsu
"Mash, when we get home we will need to get you some new clothes. Those you are wearing are all torn up." Gray said
"Like you could say anything." Natsu shot back "You've been shirtless this entire time!"
"Hmm? Ah! Damn!" Gray said finally noticing he had taken off his shirt
"You just noticed?" Abyss asked confused
"Whatever. Hey Lucy! Give Mash your clothes!" Natsu said pointing at her
"WHY ME!?"
"I am quite happy that you managed to win." Erza said with a smile
"He beat Erigor…" Kageyama widening his eyes
"Now that the guild masters are saved, how about we pay them a visit? Clover City is not that far away from here." Abel suggested while looking forward
And like it was destiny, on the moment he finished talking, Kageyama passed through them using the magic vehicle and used one of his shadow hands to snatch Lullaby from the unconscious Erigor
"What the!?" Erza said surprised
"At least warn us before using the magic vehicle!" Gray yelled
"Oh, I forgot to get the flute." Mash said while blinking twice
"You were distracted, flies! Lullaby is now in my hands!" Kageyama said with a massive smile on his face while driving forwards
"Bastard!" Abyss yelled
"How dare he! Right after we saved him too!" Natsu yelled angrily
"And I thought we could be friends…" Mash said
"Come on, after him!" Erza said starting to run
"Wait!" Abel yelled which made them all stop and look at him "I have an idea."

At Clover City, Kageyama had managed to get near the place where the guild masters were having their reunion, he seemed to be thinking about what to do until he found the guild master of Fairy Tail, Makarov. But meanwhile our heroes where doing something not expected of them, thanks to Mash and Abyss they managed to get there in time but they weren't going to attack Kageyama
"Why are we hiding in the bushes?" Mash asked
"Yeah! We should go there and beat the hell out of Kageyama before he tries something!" Natsu said angrily
"Just trust me." Abel said while looking at the interaction between Kageyama with Fairy Tail's guild master
Makarov was walking back to the mansion until Kageyama called for him
"Hey! Erm… Would you like to hear a song? The hospital doesn't let me play." Kageyama said while lifting up the flute
Makarov seriously looked at him, he seemed to suspect Kageyama who looked very nervous
"And I really want someone to hear it." Kageyama said in a cold sweat
"That's a pretty creepy foute." Makarov said
"It looks like this but it actually sounds pretty decent." Kageyama said with a smile
"I'm in a hurry so I'll only listen to one song." Makarov said while lifting up one finger
"Of course." Kageyama said smiling "I win!"
Kageyama prepared himself to begin playing the flute, the calm look on Makarov's face reminded him of what his guild said, his horrible legal guilds were, and how they were weak but could do whatever they want and be so prideful. Remembering Erigor saying how they would get revenge for being cast into the shadows… But he also remembered something else…
—
During the trip after Mash and Natsu, Kageyama was sitting down in the magic vehicle with the people that defeated his guild, it was humiliating but there was something he didn't understand
"Why are you bringing me along?" Kageyama asked
"Huh? We couldn't just let you die, so we brought you along to take care of you." Lucy answered like it was something obvious
"What a lie. I know, you guys are taking me to serve as a trade token with Erigor. That isn't going to work, after my failures today I'm worth nothing to him." Kageyama said with a sad smile on his face "It would be better if you just killed me."
"If you want to die I can just kill you right now." Gray said while looking at him
"Gray!" Lucy yelled
"Deciding if you want to live or die is up to you, but conflicts don't always have to end in death. There are other ways to solve this." Gray explained which made Kageyama widen his eyes
"I have a question for you, Kageyama." Abel said while looking at him without moving a single muscle "Why are you following him? We know his motives, but what are yours?"
"Isn't it obvious? I want all of the legal guilds to end so the dark guilds can rise to the top!" Kageyama said determined
"Why?"
"Because they are all a bunch of useless weaklings! They are nothing more than flies that follow the magic council. I have them!" Kageyama said angrily
"You hate them for being weak?" Abel perguntou "Because from my knowledge, the people who I'm with right now are one of the most hated by the magic council and still are a legal guild."
"And why does that matter!?"
"Ee beat you." Abel said making Kageyama look at him angrily "The weak flies best your guild. When Mash and Natsu end up defeating Erigor, what is going to be your excuse to do what you do then?"
"Erigor would never lose to those flies!" Kageyama yelled
"But what if he does? The weakling will be you. Would you start hating your own guild then?" Abel asked Kageyama, who didn't know what to say "You are doing this because you don't want to change. The laws for guilds changed, but you don't want to. You became criminals and to try and cling to whatever high ground you have you say that whoever changed is weak, and the ones who chain themselves to the old ways are strong."
Kageyama didn't know what to think, he didn't want to admit that this guy was right, but the way he talked and how he said everything made it almost impossible to deny
"You are angry because you lost what you had. In that way making it seem like strength is the only thing that still keeps that together, so anyone that goes against you is inferior. The strong order the weak around." Abel said while holding his puppet with a little more strength "I had similar thoughts in the past, of course that the situation was different but the basics were still the same, but one day that ideology was challenged and destroyed, I saw how weak it was. But even so I had someone by my side, a friend that actually liked me. You don't have that. Your own guild betrayed you. You are alone. And if you refuse to change, you will be alone forever."
Kageyama couldn't even look at him, he just looked down without saying anything, the others looked at Abel impressed with what he said
"Wow…" Lucy said while covering her mouth
"Master Abel…" Abyss said surprised
"I see…" Kageyama lifted his head up again. He seemed to be thinking about a lot of things right now
During those thoughts, the magic vehicle ended up suffering some turbulence which made Lucy bounce around the entire vehicle, she ended up hitting Kageyama's face with her butt and right after hit Abyss' face with her breasts, and finally she fell on the ground and the vehicle stabilized itself
"Erza! Are you alright!?" Gray yelled while holding on to his seat
"I'm fine!" Erza answered
"I'm sorry! Are you ok?" Lucy got up and apologized
"I'm fine." Kageyama said while putting a hand on his nose
"Abyss passed out." Abel said while seeing the blue-haired swordsman unconscious and with a completely red face
—
Kageyama started to shake while trying to bring himself to play the flute, the images of Fairy Tail helping him, Natsu defending him after he was betrayed, all of that was making going along with the plan harder
"He is going to play the flute!" Natsu said ready to go attack Kageyama
"Wait. He's hesitating…" Erza surprised
"I was right after all." Abel knew he managed to make Kageyama think about this situation, everything worked out perfectly
"Shh. You are going to miss the best part." a weird person wearing a dress said "Oh wait, you are cute!"
"Who is that?" Mash asked
"The master of Blue Pegasus!?" Erza said surprised
"Come on. Play it." Makarov said getting their attention again "Now."
"Hehe, this really is interesting." a man in a spiky witch hat and a spiky dog collar said
"The master of Quatro Cerberus too!?" Erza said even more surprised
Kageyama was getting even more nervous, he didn't know what to do. Does he play it!? Does he not!? What should he do!? If he played it his guild would come back to the light! Everything would change…
"Nothing will change." Makarov said, surprising Kageyama "Weaklings will be weak forever. But weakness is not something bad, after all humans are weak creatures. But alone all you have are your own insecurities, that's why we form guilds. That's why we have comrades. We walk together to live a strong life. Some will have a harder time than others, and it can take a while to get there, but if you believe in tomorrow and try your best, you can obtain that strength naturally. And that's how you can smile and live a strong life without relying on a flute like that."
"Amazing… He already knew everything…" Kageyama thought shocked, falling to his knees and letting the flute fall on the ground "I admit that I lost…"
"Master!" the members of Fairy Tail yelled while running toward him
"EH!? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?" Makarov screamed surprised
"You are amazing, master! I was deeply touched by your words." Erza said while hitting Makarov's head on her armor
"You are so cool." Mash said with sparkles in his eyes
"So, everything was solved." Gray said
Mash then remembered something, he walked towards where Kageyama and Lucy were. Mash found the flute and stepped on it with a little bit of strength and so the flute was broken in half
"Done." Mash said
But when he did that purple smoke started to rise from the remains of the flute, making Mash jump backward to get away from that
"I can't wait anymore! I'll devour all of you!" a voice came out of the purple smoke
"THE FLUTE SPOKE!?" Lucy yelled in shock
"The smoke is turning into something!" Happy yelled seeing the smoke rise
The purple smoke started to take the form of something, something monstrous, he seemed to be made out of wood like some kind of forest demon, and the creature had the size of a mountain, empty black eyes, and a massive smile on its face
"I'll devour all of your souls!" the monster yelled
"What the!?" Erza said shocked
"What is that!? I had no idea that was going to happen!" Kageyama said scared
"Oh, this seems problematic." the guild master of Blue Pegasus said
"It's a demon from the book of Zeref!" the guild master of Quatro Cerberus said
"I imagine this is the try form of Lullaby." Abel said with a cold sweat
"How!?" Lucy yelled in disbelief
"He is living magic! That is Zeref's power!" the guild master of Quatro Cerberus said
"Who is Zeref?" Mash asked
"Zeref is the most horrific wizard in all of history. Amazingly, his legacy reappeared after so many years…" the guild master of Blue Pegasus said
"I already know whose soul I'll devour first… All of yours!" Lullaby yelled with a smile on his face
The moment Lullaby opened its mouth to begin playing its song, Natsu, Erza, Gray, and Mash ran at the demon to try and stop it. Erza once again equipped her Heaven's Wheel armor and charged at the demon, cutting its legs while flying up. Natsu was climbing up the demon until he got to its head, hitting a flaming kick at the creature's face, the create shot back with various magic blasts at Natsu, which he dodged
"Uh oh." Mash, who had jumped to try and punch Lullaby, ended up being hit by one of the blasts and thrown far away
"Mash!" Abyss and Lucy yelled worried
"Ice-Make: Shield!" Gray yelled preparing a spell
"Maker Magic!" one of the guild masters said surprised at how fast Gray created his shield
"Maker Magic?" Abel said curiously
"It's a type of magic that allows you to give form to your mana, and take it away too." Happy said with a smirk
"Doesn't matter! I'll devour all of your souls anyway!" Lullaby yelled and began to play its song… or it would if Erza's slashes hadn't cut him in various places, making it incapable of playing the song "What!?"
"Now! Ice-Make: Lance!" Gray yelled, pointing both of his hands forwards and throwing various Ice Spears toward the demon
Erza changed her armor again, now using a black armor with wings similar to a devil, in her hands, there was a black sword that she held with great force
"It's the Black Wing armor, an armor that increases someone's destructive capabilities!" one of the guild masters said
Erza flew towards Lullaby at breakneck speeds, holding her sword ready for an attack
Everyone could feel the ground shaking, they looked back to see what was causing this and then they saw a mountain being lifted up from the ground and beginning to fly toward them, under the mountain there was no one other than Mash carrying it like it was nothing
"WHAT!?" everyone yelled surprised by the strength of the boy
"Full Muscle Magic: Atlas Throw." Mash said while throwing the mountain toward Lullaby with all of his strength
"With a flame on the right, and a flame on the left, when you put both of them together you get…" Natsu said, jumping off Lullaby's shoulder and putting both of his hands together, and creating a massive fireball above him "Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame!"
And just like that all of their attacks were thrown at Lullaby, Gray's spears stabbing into Lullaby and freezing most of its body, Erza making a massive cut on the creature's chest with just one slash, Natsu's burning the creature's head off, and to finish it, the mountain that Mash threw taking down the demon of Zeref with great force, making it fall into the mansion and disappear completely
"Excellent." Makarov said with a smile
"They defeated one of the demons of Zeref so easily…" the guild masters said in shock
"They really are… Fairy Tail's strongest team…" Kageyama said seeing the four of them walking back to the group
"So, what do you think of my guild!?" Makarov said with pride
"Very good everyone!" Lucy congratulated her friend
"Amazing!" Abyss said with a smile on his face
"They are surely the strongest guild, Mother," Abel said looking at his puppet
"I don't know how this happened but I guess we own you one, Fairy Tail." the guild master of Quatro Cerberus said
"Don't worry about it, Hyahyahyahya…" Makarov laughed until he saw something behind them
The other masters looked back and were completely jaw-dropped, Mash, Gray, Erza, Lucy, and Happy were also shocked by what they saw, the mansion was completely destroyed and in its place, there were just pieces of a destroyed mountain
"Oh…" Mash said noticing what he did
"Hahaha, it's completely wrecked!" Natsu said laughing
And so the members of Fairy Tail, along with Abel, and Abyss, ran away, with Mash carrying Natsu by the scarf, while they were chased by the guild masters
"I apologize for the mess, master." Erza said ashamed
"Don't worry, I don't think they are going to invite me anymore anyway!" Makarov said
"This may be a bad moment, but do you think we could join your guild?" Abel asked Makarov, wanting him and Abyss to join Fairy Tail after what they saw today
First fanfic original spell and is one of Mash's
