"Mira! Three beers over here, please!" Someone called out to her.
"Coming right up!" Mirajane replied with a a tray of beers in her hand.
"Go on a date with me, Mira!" Wakaba said to her.
"Not this again!" Laki said.
"Wakaba, there one small problem..." Mirajane said as she change her face to his wife, "Don't you already have a wife?"
"Don't do that, Mira!" Wakaba said freaked out.
"All I ask is to drink in peace and quiet." Cana said as she had a beer in her hand.
"You drink too much."
"We should really get to work..." Natsu said with his chin on the table.
"Yeah." Jenny said with pout on her face.
"Aye. We're running out of food money." Happy said eating a fish.
"I knew we should've taken that two million Jewel reward..." Lucy said, "Come to think of it, this month's rent is coming up! I need to work, too!"
"The Wizard in Armor"
~Jennifer's POV~
"Finding a magic bracelet... Breaking the spell on a cursed cane... Reading someone's love horoscope... Hunting a volcano demon?! Wizard jobs sure come in lots of forms..." Lucy said as she was looking at request board and was amazed by the jobs they were there.
"Just let me know if you find one you're interested in." Mira said to her, "The master's at a conference right now, you see."
"A conference?" Lucy asked confused.
"All the guild masters in the region get together every so often and report about things." I answered.
"It's not the same as the council, but... Reedus. Could I borrow a light pen?" Mira asked Reedus for a light pen.
"Oui."
A light pen is a magical item that allow the user to write in the air.
"The council Era is at the very top of the magical world. It consists of ten members and has
connections with the government. Its purpose is to uphold all the rules in the magical world." Mira said as she wrote in air about the government and others stuff, "Wizards who commit crimes can also be tried here. Just below that are the different guild master leagues. They pass on the decisions the council makes and help all the different guilds communicate. Basically, they hold us all together. It's a really tough job."
"I had no idea that guilds were interconnected like that..." Lucy said surprise.
"Yes, it's important that guilds cooperate. If a guild doesn't focus on cooperation..."
"The guys in black will come!" Natsu said with flame on his finger, to scare Lucy.
"You're such a scaredy-cat!" I said to her.
"Don't scare me like that!" Lucy hissed.
"There really are guys in black, though. The dark guilds... They're guilds that don't belong to any league. They're malicious people and are often involved in crimes." I added as Mira draws in the dark guild how it separated from the others.
"Really?"
"Just choose a job, will you?" Natsu asked.
"And what gives you the right to say that to me?" Lucy said.
"Well, we are a team and all." Natsu' said.
"We picked the job last time. This time it's your turn." I said.
"Yeah, right! You know our "team" is disbanded. You didn't care about me! You just needed someone with blonde hair!" Lucy exclaimed.
"That's not the only reason we chose you, Lucy.
It was because you're nice!" I said with a smile.
"Hey, Lucy, don't worry about picking a team; I'm sure you'll get a ton of offers soon enough." Gray said.
"Gray, your clothes." Cana reminded him.
"Jerk." Natsu hissed.
"Did you just call me jerk, dragon boy?!" Gray said angrily.
"You're super annoying, you pervert!"
"Feather face!"
"Silky hair!"
Natsu and Gray insult each other, I sighed at this.
"Here they go again..."
"Lucy. Won't you form a team of love with me Tonight, just the two of us. " Loke flirted with Lucy with his arm around her shoulders.
"Do what?" Lucy asked uncomfortably.
"You really are beautiful. Even with my sunglasses on, your beauty is dazzling. I'm sure I would go blind if I saw you with my naked eyes." Loke flirted to Lucy.
"Girls really fall for this?" Lucy said in a disbelief look.
Loke noticed Lucy's gate keys. "Y-You're a celestial wizard?!"
"Huh?"
"Yeah. She has a cow and crab and stuff." Happy answered.
"What a cruel twist of fate!" Loke said dramatically, "I'm sorry! We can never be together!"
"What's his deal?" Lucy asked confused.
"Loke's bad at dealing with celestial wizards. Rumor has it he had trouble with a girl a long time ago." Mira said to Lucy.
"I'm not surprised, he's-" I trailed off as Natsu was thrown at me causing us to fall on the ground.
"Oh, my."
"Knock it off, you guys... I'm getting angry." I gritted my teeth at them.
"He picked a fight with me. I can't turn down his offer!" Gray said.
"Where are your clothes?" Cana asked.
"You're the one who started it, droopy eyes!"
"When exactly did I start it, slanty eyes?!"
Natsu and Gray continued to insult each other, as everyone else laughed at them with amazement.
Loke slammed the door opened, "This is bad!
It's Erza... She's back!" Everyone gasped in horror.
"Oh, Erza-nee is back." I said excitedly.
"Wow, just the mention of her, everybody freaked out." Lucy said in shocked.
"You could say she's the second strongest female wizard in Fairy Tail now." Mira said. I was smiling to see her again.
We heard loud footsteps coming to the guild hall.
As everyone was murmuring at her arrival.
"Given this reaction, Erza must be one powerful wizard...!" Lucy said then get scared.
Erza comes in the guild and she was holding a something in her hand. As What she was holding her was a horn with decorations on it. "I've returned. Is the master here?" She asked.
"S-So pretty...!"
"Welcome back! The master's at a conference." Mirajane answered.
"I see."
"What is that humongous thing, Erza?" A guild member asked her.
"The horn of a monster I subdued. The locals decorated it and gave it to me as a souvenir." Erza answered, "Is it a problem?"
"No, not in the least!"
"I bet she's heard about what happened at Mt. Hakobe." Cana said to Macao who was nervous.
"O-Oh, crap... I'm a goner..." Macao said nervously.
"She's not what I imagined at all..." Lucy said in shock by Erza.
"Listen up! On the road, I heard that Fairy Tail
has been causing yet more trouble. The master may not care, but I do!" Erza said as she scolded everyone in the room.
"She's already said a lot, though..." Lucy said, "What is she, a disciplinarian?"
"That's Erza-nee for you. She's like the hold on for the Master sometimes." I said to Lucy, "But she is very caring person once you get to know her."
"Still, even if she is kind of a loudmouth, she looks like an actually-mature person. Surely there's no reason to be so afraid of her...?" Lucy says.
"Erza-nee, hi." I walked over to her, Erza show me and smiled, "Jenny, where are Natsu and Gray?"
I pointed at Natsu and Gray who were scared and holding onto each other like buddies.
"H-Hi, Erza. We're good buddies as usual...!" Gray said.
"Aye!" Natsu said nervously.
"Natsu's turned into Happy!" Lucy said shocked.
"I see. It's natural for good friends to fight sometimes, too." Erza said nodding her head at them, "That said, I like seeing you get along like that."
"No, we're not exactly "good friends"..." Gray said in a nervous tone.
"Aye." Natsu repeated.
"I've never seen Natsu like this before!" Lucy said shocked by this.
"A long time ago, Natsu challenged Erza-nee to a fight and got really beat up." I answered her question.
"Natsu did?!"
"Then she found Gray walking around naked and beat him up." Macao added.
"She also beat Loke up too for trying to hit on her." Cana chimed in, "You reap what you sow."
"I would've expected as much from him..."
Natsu, Jennifer, and Gray. I have a favor to ask." Erza said to us.
"Huh?"
"I heard about something bad while on my last job. Normally, I would consult the master about something like this first, but I believe this is a matter of the utmost urgency." Erza said, "I want your help. Will you come with me?"
"What in the world?"
"Erza's asking for help?"
"This is a first! "
"We leave tomorrow. Make sure you're ready." Erza said.
"Erza, Jenny, Natsu, and Gray... I never even imagined it before...But this could very well be
the most powerful team in Fairy Tail..." Mirajane said shocked.
"And then..."
Magnolia Station.
~No POV~
"Why do I have to team up with you?!" Natsu said angrily.
"That's my line! If Erza needs help, I'm more than enough by myself!" Gray replied angrily.
"Then go by yourself! I don't wanna go!"
"Don't come, then! Let Erza beat you senseless later!"
Lucy, Plue, Happy and Jenny were sitting on a bench.
"I don't know them. I don't know them." Lucy muttered in embarrassment.
"Why are you here, Lucy?" Jenny asked her.
"It's because of Mira..."
"Those two will fight when Erza's not looking, so be there to stop them, okay? Because Jenny won't stop them.
"Ack!"
"Me?!"
"You aren't stopping them, though." Happy said.
"I know, but..."
"I'm sorry. Did I keep you waiting?" Erza said.
"Oh! Erza-!" Lucy said but had a shocked expression on her.
"So much stuff"
Erza had a lot of stuff.
"So much luggage!" Lucy said surprised.
"Let's be good buddies today, as usual!" Gray said with fake happy tone with Natsu and he replied, "Aye, Sir!"
"Not again! It's Happy #2!"
"Yes. It's important to be on good terms." Erza said, then look at Lucy, "So, who are you?
Didn't I see you at Fairy Tail yesterday?"
"Oh, Erza-nee, this is Lucy! She just joined!" Jenny answered her. Gray and Natsu were glaring at each other.
"Mira asked me to come with you too. It's nice to meet you!" Lucy chimed in.
"I'm Erza. It's a pleasure. Ah, so you're Lucy?" Erza glances over to Gray and Natsu to see if they are being friendly with one another. "The one who defeated a mercenary gorilla with just your little finger? It'll be wonderful to have you
on board. Thanks for your help." As the boys were glaring at each other from Ezra's glance as she looked over again.
"That's not quite what happened, but..."
"M-My pleasure..." Lucy said nervously, Jenny was snorting and snickering at the rumor. "Oh that was totally happened." Jenny murmured.
"Erza. I'll come along, but on one condition." Natsu said to her.
"Hey!"
"What is it? Tell me." Erza replied.
"Fight me once we get back!" Natsu said with a determined look.
"Hey! Don't get hasty! Do you want to die?!" Gray hissed at him.
"Things are different from last time. I can beat you now!" Natsu said determinedly.
"It's true that you've improved. I feel somewhat at a disadvantage, but all right. I accept." Erza said.
"All right! Now I'm fired up!" Natsu said excitedly.
~The trio on the train to go to the location.~
Natsu had a nauseous expression on his face, with Gray and Lucy sitting next to him. Jenny and Erza were sitting across from them.
"Geez, you're pathetic. This, immediately after picking a fight?" Gray said.
"It's gotta be tough doing this every time..." Lucy said in a worried tone.
"Oh, all right. Come sit next to me." Jenny said to him.
"Aye..." Natsu replied as he moved over to Jenny.
"Just relax, Honeybun." Jenny said as she proceeded to punch him in his gut, causing him to pass out on her lap.
"Pretending not to watch"
"There. That should be better." Jenny said with a closed eyes smiled.
'Th-This woman might be a little weird after all...' Lucy thought scared.
"Erza. Isn't it about time you fill us in?" Gray said.
"Yeah, what exactly are we doing?" Jenny asked.
"Right. We're going up against the Eisenwald dark guild. They plan to use a magic called Lullaby for something big." Erza explained.
"Lullaby?" Gray and Happy asked confused.
'So we alright in Lullaby arc, huh.' Jenny thought.
"That thing from before?!" Lucy reminded them.
The dark guild, Eisenwald.
"I hear Kageyama sent us word."
"Says he finally got the item."
"At last, our big chance has come. This is our only chance to achieve our goal; the guild master geezers are in the middle of their conference."
~Jennifer's POV~
"I see. So you've encountered Eisenwald as well." Erza said as we explained our situation with them.
"Probably. They did mention something about Lullaby." Gray confirmed.
"It sounds like they were guild dropouts. The plan must've been too much for them, so they ran off." Erza said.
"And that plan has something to do with Lullaby?" Gray said.
"It's only a guess, but the shadow that dragged them off was probably Eisenwald's main squad. They must not have wanted the plan to get out." I chimed in.
"What kind of plan are we talking about?" Lucy asked.
"Allow me to explain everything in order. It happened the other day, on my way home after that job. I stopped by a pub in Onibas where wizards gather." Erza explained.
"Lullaby... Like a nursery rhyme, right?" Lucy said.
"Yes. The fact it's sealed away likely means it's very powerful magic." Erza confirmed.
"And they were members of Eisenwald too?" Gray asked.
"Yes. Like a fool, though, I didn't recognize
the name "Erigor" at the time. He's the ace of the Eisenwald dark guild. He only accepts assassination-related jobs, for which he earned
the nickname "Erigor the Reaper"." Erza said.
"Assassination?!" Lucy said.
"The council outlawed assassination requests, but Eisenwald decided that money is more important. As a result, it was kicked out of
the wizard guild league six years ago." Erza explained, "However, they disobeyed orders
and remain active to this day."
"Stunned silence"
"I think maybe I'll go home..." Lucy muttered afraid.
"Lucy, slimy all of a sudden." Happy said.
"It's sweat." Lucy hissed.
"I was careless! If only I had recognized Erigor's name then, I could've pulverized them
and had them confess their scheme!"
"Scary!"
"I see. So Eisenwald is planning to do something with this Lullaby, and you want to stop them because it's obviously something bad?" Gray said.
"Yes. I don't believe I can take on an entire guild by myself. That's why I asked for your help. We're going to storm the Eisenwald guild!" Erza exclaimed.
"Sounds interesting."
"Don't worry, Erza-nee, we will help you!" I said excitedly for the mission.
"Aye!"
"I shouldn't have come..."
"Ew, now your super slimy Lucy!" Happy exclaimed.
"It's sweat!"
I use my money for food they can eat.
"If it's not rude to ask, what kind of magic do you use, Erza?" Lucy asked her.
"It's not rude. It's a good question."
"Erza's magic is pretty! It makes her enemies bleed a lot!" Happy said.
"You call that pretty?" Lucy said nervously.
"Personally, I think Gray's magic is prettier."
"Oh, like this?" Gray said as he used his magic to make the Fairy Tail symbol.
"Wow! Pretty, I'm always so amazed by your magic, Gray." I said in amazement.
"I use Ice magic." Gray said.
"Oh! Is that why you two never get along?Because Natsu uses fire and you use ice?" Lucy said.
"Oh, I never thought of that."
"Nah, I just hate his guts." Gray replied.
Onibas Station.
"Are the Eisenwald guys still in this town?" Gray asked.
"I don't know. That's what we're about to find out." Ezra said.
I stopped in motion then realize I forgot something, "Um, where's Natsu?"
As the train that had Natsu was moving away.
"There it goes."
"I was so absorbed in our conversation that I forgot. I can't believe myself! He's terrible at riding vehicles, too! This is my fault. I'm a horrible girlfriend!" I cried in panic.
~Later~
"Please don't do that! Don't pull the emergency lever without permission!" A train member said to Erza who pulled a switch to stop the train.
"It's for our comrade. Please understand." Erza replied.
"You're absurd!"
"Please take our luggage to the hotel."
"Why me?!"
"I guess everyone in Fairy Tail is like this after all..." Lucy says sweat-dropping.
"Not me." Gray said.
I looked at him and raise an eyebrow, "Then where are your clothes?!"
A Magic-mobile. It's fast,but runs on its driver's magic energy.
"Natsu!" I yelled out to him as the Train was moving, we were on a magic-mobile. As Natsu jumped off the train and bonked head with Gray who was on the roof of the mobile.
"Natsu! You all right?!" Erza asked.
"Aye..." Natsu replied.
"That hurt, you idiot!"
"Shut up! Natsu yelled at Gray then turned to us, "How dare you leave me behind!"
"My apologies. But you don't appear to be hurt. I'm glad." I said to him grabbed his head and pulling it to my chest.
"It's ok." Natsu mumbled, "Urgh! I'm not all right! Some weirdo attacked me on the train!"
"Weirdo?" Lucy asked confused.
"The one who dragged away the guys who tried to eat Happy. Said he was with Eisenwald..." Natsu explained.
"You fool!" Erza slapped him, "We're trying to go after Eisenwald! Why did you let him go?!"
"This is the first I've heard of this..." Natsu said with a confused look on his face.
"I explained it earlier! Listen when people talk!" Erza shouted at him.
"I think it that she forget that knocked him out..." I said nervously.
"She's unbelievable in various ways..."
"Agreed."
"That's Erza for you!"
"He was on that train, you say? We're going after it!" Erza said as she attach herself to the Magic-mobile.
"What was he like?"
"He wasn't very distinctive, actually." Natsu said, "Oh, yeah. He did have some kind of skull flute.
The skull had three eyes."
"A skull flute with three eyes." I said with a conflict expression on my face. I guess do I have to tell them?
"What's the matter, Jenny?"
"I know about that flute... Lullaby... A cursed song...! It's death magic!" I explained to them.
"What?"
"A cursed song? Like an incantation?"
"I've only read about them in books, but there are some deadly, forbidden spells out there, right?" I said.
"Yes. Cursed black magic that kills whomever it's used on."
"Well, Lullaby is even worse than that!" I said.
Erza was speeding on the magic-mobile.
"Slow down, Erza!" Gray yelled at her, "Powering this thing takes a lot of magic energy! Even for you, Erza!"
"This is no time for complacency! There's no telling what Erigor might do if he gets his hands on this death curse magic!"
"To be continued..."
