Fury in the Station
As much as I wanted to look cool and brag about the Domain Expansion, it wasn't entirely true—I only said it to seem impressive. But technically, it wasn't a complete lie either. This domain did belong to me in some way because of the perk from the Celestial Grimoire.
If I explain it in JJK logic, this Mirror World reflected the space surrounding me infinitely, like two mirrors reflecting each other endlessly. Thus, this domain worked like a Domain Expansion or Bounded Field, trapping my target in this warped and distorted space.
"What the hell is this?!" Kageyama yelled as the train cabin we were in expanded ridiculously. Where it was a small room before, it now nearly matched the size of our entire guildhall in Magnolia. The walls were also broken in many places, revealing that we were still moving, despite the room's gigantic size.
"What's going on?! What did you do?!" Kageyama's cronies screamed, pointing fingers at me before charging.
I jumped, my left hand clutching the Lullaby tightly while my right hand shot out and grabbed the giant hand straps hanging everywhere. Swinging like Tarzan, I dodged the dark mages, yelling, "Awuwaaa!" like Tarzan as I swung to the other side. There, Erza, Natsu, Gray, Happy, and my sister stood, looking around the space with flabbergasted faces.
"Oh, more Fairy Tail flies!" one of the grunts sneered, pointing at my friends before shooting searing hot flames at them with a smug look.
Joke's on him—Natsu was starting to get hungry for some fire.
The stupidest decision they could make just happened as Natsu opened his mouth wide, sucking in the flames. I could feel his magic refilling and overflowing, giving him a faint fire-like aura.
"That sucked," Natsu grimaced, his face contorting as if someone had forced him to eat veggies instead of juicy meat. "You weaklings always have such pathetic flames."
"What the hell! What kind of monster are you?!" Grunt number two screamed in terror, only to receive a Fire Dragon Iron Fist to the face. Kageyama and the others scattered from the collateral damage.
"The Salamander kind," Natsu smirked.
"Don't get cocky, you Fairy Tail fly!" Kageyama roared, a shadowy magic circle spinning threateningly as dark hands emerged from it.
"Heaven's Wheel Armor," Erza declared, her body shimmering in golden light as she floated. It was like watching a falling star without getting burned.
The golden light finally dissipated, revealing Erza in all her glory—a sight worthy of Titania, queen of the fairies. She hovered in the air with an impassive face. The fact that it only took three seconds was more than impressive.
"You will answer my questions, and pray that your answers are satisfactory for your own sake," she demanded, swords appearing in golden light and orbiting her like planets around the sun.
"Shadow—ack!" Kageyama's attack was cut off as the hovering swords descended upon them like the wrath of God. All looked horrified as the swords collided with the thugs, making them collapse on the ground with a thud.
We all stared at Erza as her Valkyrie-like armor disappeared along with the swords, retreating back into her Re-equip space.
"Why are you guys looking at me like that?" Erza asked, surprised, while Lucy numbly pointed at the collapsed pile of bodies.
"What? They were just blunt swords. Those big babies are just asleep," Erza said casually as she began tying them together.
"You took that guy's jaw off. You don't need a sharp sword to off someone," Lucy sighed, closing her eyes with a deep breath.
"It's a good thing we learned that healing spell. Besides, it's not our fault these scums work for an assassination guild," I argued, taking Erza's side. I'm all for not hurting innocents or noncombatants, and I don't try particularly hard to kill my enemies.
Even when I'm holding back, my enemies sometimes die because of accidents or their own mistakes. It's not something I shed tears over, and I'm not cold or indifferent toward them. It's just not my old life in that peaceful world, so morality here is, of course, a little different.
"Well spoken," Erza commented calmly, raising an eyebrow as she looked at me. "But let's not forget how you recklessly charged in without any information, shall we?"
"What can I say? The Fairy Tail spirit must've rubbed off on me," I replied with a shrug, handing her the cursed flute. She took it, and though it appeared to be just a simple object, I knew better.
I had my anti-evil sword at the ready. This demon was a weakling anyway—getting knocked out in the first arc and dying in the anime.
"Besides, if it had really been life-threatening, I would have explained in detail," I added with a grin, only to get bonked on the head by Lucy. I yelped and rubbed the spot where she hit me.
"This was life-threatening, you idiot! We were just talking about that flute being Death Magic," she scolded, surprising me by pulling me into a tight hug. I squirmed and struggled, but she was having none of it.
"Also, can you store that thing away, Erza? We can deal with it later," Lucy added. Erza nodded in agreement, and just before the flute vanished, I could have sworn I saw its three eyes twitch before it disappeared into her Re-equip space.
I really hoped time didn't move in the Re-equip space; otherwise, Erza's belongings might be in danger. How did that even work? Re-equip shouldn't work on living things!
My Celestial Grimoire pinged as it tried to latch onto new powers.

Dammit, I missed my second chance at life if I really screw up in the future. My Grimoire seems to hate me, only rolling good stuff when I'm low on points.
"Now, Natsu, Gray, get the conductor and have him contact the authorities at the station. Meanwhile, we'll interrogate the Eisenwald members and find out their plans," Erza ordered. Both boys saluted and sprinted out of the room.
"Nir!" I snapped my fingers, and the domain cracked with bright light, returning us to the narrow, small train compartment once more.
Natsu and Gray immediately dashed out of the room while Erza looked at me with an analytical gaze the moment Lucy released me from her embrace.
After thirty minutes, we were back in our cabin. I grew more tense and worried with each passing minute, expecting something bad to happen. There was no way Re-equip magic could contain a demon of Zeref so easily, even the weakest one.
"So this is the reason?" Erza murmured to herself, her gloved finger tracing the silver blade on her lap. She looked at the sword with clear admiration.
"Yup, bane of all evil. It's the first genuine holy sword I've ever seen. The moment I got it from my Grimoire, it started reacting to that cursed flute, demanding it be destroyed," I said, half-lying. The sword did give some minor compulsive thoughts to defeat evil, but nothing strong enough to resist.
It was like getting a boner. A boner for eradicating evil from the world. And just like an unwanted boner, it could be contained, hidden, and suppressed.
"It's still ridiculous how your book gives you new things. First, you had that staff, now you can fly, wield a holy sword, create a mirror-like world. What's next, becoming a dragon?" Gray asked rhetorically while Natsu perked up at the word "dragon."
"Maybe I will, maybe I won't. I don't control what comes next, to be honest. I don't know when it'll stop giving me things or if it ever will. But it's making me stronger, so why complain?" I answered with a shrug, summoning the Celestial Grimoire to my hand. I noticed I liked to touch the book, keeping it around physically rather than storing it in my soul all the time.
"If it didn't radiate such a holy light, I'd ask what the catch is. Oh well," Lucy said, sharing her thoughts on the matter.
"It's enough for now. Let's focus on something important. As Kageyama said earlier, Erigor is waiting at the next station. Normally, I'd be worried, but we already have Lullaby in custody. What would be the reason for using it at the station?" Erza asked, looking at each of us thoughtfully.
"Duh, it has lots of trains and people," Natsu suggested confidently.
"Trains have no connection with Lullaby. If he wanted a crowd, he could've used the town hall, market, or even the main plaza," Gray argued, causing both him and Natsu to start glaring at each other for no reason.
"Wait, he may be onto something. Train stations have lots of people. If his intention is to hurt people, he could use a megaphone or loudspeakers to broadcast Lullaby to the whole city," Lucy figured out, earning sharp and displeased looks from all of us at the implications.
Since our world was dangerous, from monsters to dark guilds, every station or place of importance like the mayor's office had loudspeakers to announce emergency news or evacuation orders.
"It's good that we already confiscated Lullaby, isn't it? Let's just go to this station and beat up Erigor!" Natsu suggested with a grin, earning nods and equally bloodthirsty or battle-hungry looks from us.
"Hey, it's me, Lucas," I said, waving my hands and smiling widely at the projection in front of me.
"I can see that, kid. I'm not an old man," Doranbolt replied tiredly. He was sitting behind an enormous pile of paperwork, which even made me wince.
Doranbolt was my contact at the Council whenever we needed help or direction about a mission. This man had assisted us on more than one occasion in the past. Even without knowing his past, I already trusted him.
I hope it's not because of his Memory Magic.
"Anyway, my sister and I joined Fairy Tail." I grinned, showing him my guild mark. Doranbolt groaned, visibly frustrated as he gave me a thousand-yard stare.
"Out of all the guilds in Fiore, you had to join that one? Come on, kid, what's wrong with you?! Those fools will burn the whole city down someday, and I'll have to arrest you—no exceptions."
"Oh, come on, it's not as bad as the rumors, I swear," I said with a chuckle before getting serious. "Anyway, I've contacted you for a reason. I'm currently on a possibly pseudo S-Class mission, and it could escalate, so you need to be prepared."
"Son of a… ahem." Doranbolt stopped himself from cursing out loud. "What the hell, kid? They're sending newbies on this kind of job?!"
"No, listen before reacting, dammit. We're under the leadership of an S-Class mage, Erza Scarlet, along with Natsu and Gray—some of our strongest mages. And me and my sister aren't pushovers either. Believe me, it's something we can handle. We're facing Eisenwald and its assassin guild master. You've been warned, Magic Council. Bye-bye." I clicked to end the video chat before putting away the communication lacrima.
"Was that wise? Why inform the Magic Council, especially when they hate us because of how much our guildmates cause destruction?" Erza asked, standing with her arms crossed in the corner, guarding the room from any intruders or eavesdroppers while I made the call.
"First of all, I know Doranbolt. That guy loves me ever since my sister and I rescued his soldiers from certain death a year ago. The Magic Council has a good opinion of me. And second, we're technically doing the Council's work. They're the government that's supposed to capture and punish criminals. Unless we were hired for this, we're literally taking the law into our own hands—at least, that's what the Council will think," I explained, giving my honest opinion. Erza listened patiently, no doubt already understanding where I was going with this.
"So, by informing the Council before we do something reckless, we'll lessen any blow once this is all over. They can't blame us completely since we did inform them that we'd be doing their job for them. They don't lose anything if we fail, and if we succeed, they'll still be pissy but give us a pat on the back before sending us on our way."
Basically, if we lose, the Council doesn't suffer any loss. If we win, it's the Council's victory too since they get to capture dark mages. And if things go south, they can't accuse us of being reckless and arrest us to make us scapegoats like they did to Erza in canon.
"You've thought a lot about this, both in and out of the mission. Thinking far ahead strategically," Erza nodded in approval. She approached, her gloved hand on my shoulder, her eyes piercing into my soul with the presence of an S-Class mage—not aggressively, of course.
"Your reasoning and planning are better than I expected. I thought you'd be like the rest of us fairies and charge recklessly toward your problems, especially when you challenged me to a duel. It wasn't just a reckless challenge, was it? There was something more behind it, wasn't there?"
Erza looked impressed as she saw me in a new light.
"That's for me to know, isn't it?" I smiled, staring at her beautiful face without fear. I don't know why all the men back in the guild fear such a beautiful face.
"But worry not, I won't hide any secret that will endanger my new friends."
"That's all I need to know," Erza said before slowly backing away, her scarlet hair fluttering majestically. "Now let's go and regroup. The station is approaching, and we have to face the so-called Shinigami Erigor."
"Aye aye leader." I saluted before following along, my gaze following that blue skirt that hid the treasure I wanted to plunder.

The ZPCI were probably the people who made Zombies in the first place. You might have been a part of that project, or maybe you're just a well versed mad scientist, but I digress. You're a scientist of some kind whose profession involves mutating people beyond belief. This includes a method to turn people into zombies, but also a method that allows you to create super-strong somewhat magical monstrosities that have effects based on whatever kind of magic you inject them with, if at all. There is no way in this jump to prevent these monsters from going mad in some sort of way, including but not limited to reduced cognitive functions, insanity, immense bloodlust, or mind-shattering pain. So don't use this on allies if you can help it.

What the heck is Sonny anyway?
We rushed out the moment we stopped at Oshiwana Station—a weirdly Japanese name for a town that resembled an old European village.
People were already agitated, looking ready to riot right outside the station where authorities were working hard to calm them down.
"Excuse me," Erza grabbed the shoulder of one of the security guards who was dealing with the crowd.
"What happened here?" Erza asked calmly.
"Why would I tell you, lady?" the guard replied flippantly, showing absolutely no sense of survival instinct.
"Uwah!" The guard yelped in pain and fainted as Erza punched him in the gut for his refusal.
"Okay, that's not how diplomacy works!" I said, grabbing the redhead before she could accost another guard. Erza glared at me with her remaining anger before it faded as she calmed down.
"Then let's see how you handle it." She declared, crossing her arms while Natsu and Gray sighed in relief and Lucy looked on with amusement.
"Hey, you!" I pointed at another guard who looked terrified, glancing between Erza and his fallen comrade.
"I'm talking to you! We're from Fairy Tail, and this is our S-Class wizard, Erza Scarlet. Tell us the situation before it gets worse." I spread my hands as flames and sparks surged in my left and right palms respectively, giving me an eerie aura as I smiled. "Now!"
"You threatened him. How is that better than Erza?" Lucy asked dryly.
"I didn't knock him out. And look, he's blabbering everything to her." I pointed at Erza, who was holding the man by his shirt collar like she was about to pummel him to the ground while the man wisely spilled all the details.
"The Eisenwald Guild has already taken over the station and killed our boss," the man confessed with tears, more from fear of Erza and me than from the untimely death of his boss. "Please don't destroy our town," he pleaded.
Who does this guy take us for? We're the good guys here. Why would we destroy his town?
"Thank you," Erza said sincerely, much to the man's surprise, as she let him go. "Now let us handle it from here. Please try to evacuate the civilians and yourselves as much as possible. Dark mages are very dangerous, especially to bystanders," she advised, acting like a proper adult once again. The man nodded before fleeing from us.
"Now then, since they're holed up inside, why don't we go and do our job?" Natsu asked, his fist igniting into brilliant flames as he smiled.
"Just what I was thinking," Gray replied, his forearm sprouting blades made out of ice.
"Gray, your clothes!" I called out.
"Dammit." The man in the boxer shorts shouted, looking around frantically to save his remaining dignity.
"Welcome to our parlour, Fairy Tail flies," the floating man spoke as soon as we stepped into the large room inside the station building. We faced a small army of mages armed with various weapons: knives, flintlock pistols, swords, and, of course, ominous magic circles.
(Ignore Kageyama)
And naturally, they were cringe as hell, chuckling and laughing—one even licked his bloody sword. Ew.
"Says the one who's buzzing like one." I snarled, summoning my Fairy Bow. I never played Legend of Zelda, but I could appreciate how a childish-looking bow in my hands felt so powerful.
The leader, Erigor, was just as I expected: an edgy bastard with silver hair, blue tattoos on his shirtless body, black cape and clothing, and a cheap scythe slung over his shoulder. He fancied himself as a grim reaper, buzzing around with his wind magic.
"You fiend, I suppose you are Erigor!" Erza started while I deadpanned at her. No, that's Erigor's twin brother, Ericome. I snorted to myself while I aimed my bow subtly at the assassin. What's with sudden old knightly language?
"We are not threatened by you scum! We already confiscated Lullaby and captured your subordinates. You have nothing. Your plan has failed. This is where Eisenwald ends!" She declared, summoning her sword, her body radiating a strong aura of power.
Oh, since Erza didn't have to exhaust herself by driving the magic mobile with her own reserves, she isn't tired like her canon counterpart. And we already have Lullaby and Kageyama in custody, so Erigor can't run without abandoning his plan.
Oh, you are so fucked, so-called Shinigami.
Erigor chuckled. "Then we just have to pry Lullaby from your cold, dead bodies, don't we?" He sneered, pointing his scythe at us.
"Don't disappoint me like Kageyama. Kill them all!" He ordered, and pandemonium erupted as the army of bloodthirsty mages screamed, rushing at us.
"Now, don't hold back," Erza shouted, her command directed at us. "When fighting with dark mages, only your and your comrades' lives are a priority." Her body glowed golden, transforming her chainmail armor into a sexy black armor with bat-like wings and an equally black spear. She descended upon the charging army like a one-woman army herself.
The mages attacked, charging with weapons of many kinds. Erza was like a force of nature, her defense so strong that sneak attacks were futile. Spells slid off her armor as if it were enchanted. She attacked with increasing lethality, her strikes breaking weapons, magic circles, and even bones and spirits. Her eyes glinted with a dangerous edge, yet she maintained control over her bloodlust.
Natsu fought recklessly, breathing fire at his enemies but not lethally, taunting the Eisenwald mages with a feral grin. "Come on, you wimps! Is that all you've got?!" he roared, flames engulfing his fists. Happy fluttered around him, providing support and occasionally dive-bombing enemies with his tiny paws.
Gray, not to be outdone, argued with Natsu while creating a barrage of ice weapons. "You're going to burn the whole place down, flame-brain! Watch how it's done!" he yelled, slamming an enemy with an ice hammer.
"Your clothes, Gray!" I called out, smirking.
"Dammit," he muttered, quickly summoning an ice barrier to cover himself before resuming his assault. He and Natsu bickered and bantered, each trying to outdo the other in knocking out the most enemies.
Lucy summoned Taurus, her bull celestial spirit, who swung his massive axe with a loud "Mooo!" She fought alongside him, using her whip to trip and disarm opponents. "Taurus, let's show them what we're made of!" she shouted, determination in her eyes.
"Aye-aye, Lucy!" Taurus responded, cleaving through enemy lines with brute strength.
The room was a cacophony of battle cries, magic explosions, and the clash of weapons. Despite the chaos, our teamwork was seamless. Each of us knew our role, and we fought with the confidence of a guild that had each other's backs.
Erza's spear sliced through the air, taking down multiple enemies with each swing. "Stand down, or face the consequences!" she commanded, her voice carrying the authority of an S-Class mage.
Natsu's flames roared, creating a fiery barrier that prevented the mages from advancing. "You think you can take us on? Think again!" he taunted, sending a fireball crashing into a group of mages.
Gray's ice magic created a frozen battlefield, trapping enemies and disarming them with icy precision. "Try and keep up, Natsu!" he shouted, forming an ice sword and slashing through the air.
Lucy and Taurus fought in tandem, their bond evident in their coordinated attacks. "We've got this, Taurus!" Lucy encouraged, using her whip to snag an enemy's weapon and fling it aside.
"Moo! Let's finish this!" Taurus bellowed, his axe crashing down with a mighty blow.
I ignored Lucy summoning Taurus, Natsu and Gray unleashing their fire and ice. Instead, I quickly threw the Fairy Bow and a box of fifty arrows to Lucy, who caught it with surprise before giving me a thumbs up.
She's a better archer than me anyway.
The room was a chaotic blur of elemental magic and melee combat. Amid the chaos, Erigor and I locked eyes, and our aerial battle commenced. He wielded his scythe with deadly precision, wind magic swirling around him like a storm. I responded with a flurry of weapons from my Grandwheel, alternating between fireballs and electrical charges to keep him on his toes.
"Do people really fear you and your stupid haircut?" I taunted, charging straight at Erigor with a midair kick. He easily flew away, sneering at me with eyes that briefly shone with interest.
"You're flying without using wind?" he noted, brandishing his edgy scythe at me. "And most of the flies flee in terror seeing this."
I cut off my magic, letting gravity pull me back just in time to dodge his strike. My mana pool instantly restored as I flew again, aiming a kick at his hips. He dodged, of course. How annoying.
"You do know that scythes are made for farming, right? What kind of idiot really believes that shinigami actually use those things?" I asked, genuinely curious, as I began dodging around his attacks.
Huh, he's so sloppy. No wonder he's a beginner arc villain.
"Damn you, fly! Stop flying and take this seriously!" he shouted, sending a torrent of sharp wind blades my way as he abandoned direct attacks for magic.

Erigor's scythe slashed through the air where my neck had been a moment ago. I retaliated with a barrage of electrical charges, forcing him to dodge. Our battle was evenly matched; his raw power met my surprises and skills.
"Impressive, but it won't be enough," Erigor taunted, summoning a cyclone to engulf me.
I countered with a fireball, the flames clashing against his wind in a spectacular explosion. Using the cover of smoke, I darted in with a sword from my Grandwheel, aiming for a swift strike.
Erigor deflected it with his scythe, his eyes narrowing. "You're persistent. I'll give you that."
"And you're overrated," I shot back, unleashing a burst of magic to propel myself away from his counterattack.
We continued our deadly dance, magic and steel clashing in a blur of motion. Erigor's wind blades grazed my arm, drawing blood, but I ignored the pain, focusing on finding an opening.
"Is that all you've got?" I goaded, summoning a spear from my Grandwheel and hurling it at him.
Erigor swatted it aside, snarling. "You're starting to annoy me."
"Good," I grinned, charging at him again. This time, I infused my strike with a combination of fire and electricity, creating a blazing, crackling spear.
Erigor's eyes widened as he struggled to block the attack, the force of it sending him reeling. Seizing the opportunity, I followed up with a rapid series of strikes, pushing him back.
"Enough!" he roared, summoning a massive gust of wind to blow me away, this one was the biggest yet, its the one he used against Natsu in anime.
"Not so fast!" Erza shouted, her hands shimmering gold as a large shield appeared. To everyone's surprise, the wind didn't even phase the shield as Erza leaped and bashed it into Erigor's face.
The whole room fell silent. The remaining members of Eisenwald gawked as their invincible assassin Guildmaster fell to the ground like a bird with its wings clipped.
Erza didn't stop. Surrounded by a golden light, her armor transformed into something bulky and spikey. She dropped on top of Erigor like a cannonball, earning a sickening scream as blood flowed.
It looked lethal, but it wasn't. That didn't mean it wasn't painful.
"What's happening? Why are we losing to these flies?" One of the fallen Eisenwald members cried in despair while the others simply stopped fighting and collapsed to the ground.
"It's simple," Lucy said, as the flaming arrow she shot missed him by an inch, the ground burning with fiery red flames. "Because you scums are weak. And even your leader is nothing but a murderer who can fly. Nothing more to it."
"You bitch, you know who—Arkh!" The man didn't get to finish as Erza stomped on him again, her boot doing more damage as she didn't let him fly away, attacking relentlessly.
"You stay down!" Erza shouted. She was seriously pissed at the assassin. Killing in contract or job, illegal as it may be, was one thing. But using Dark Magic recklessly to hurt an entire town on a larger scale for no reason was unforgivable to her.
So she showed no mercy, continuing to beat the dark mage within an inch of his life. Blood flew, she didn't stop. Bones broke, she didn't stop. His skull cracked, she didn't stop.
"Erza, stop!"
She didn't stop, her gloves turning bloody with each passing second.
"You're killing him, stop!"
She couldn't stop. This maniac had to be stopped.
"Fire Dragon Iron Fist! Ice-Make Cannon!"
Suddenly her world turned upside down as fire and ice hurled her toward the wall, where she crashed painfully.
Slowly, she stood up, her temper rising quickly as she summoned her trusty weapon—a big black metal club with many spikes. She glared at the cowardly brats who had attacked her from behind.
"I'm going to end you," she hissed.
"No, you will not!" Lucas hurled his silver sword at her like a javelin. She sneered at the pathetic display. That throw was supposed to hurt her? Who did they take her for?
She easily caught the blade in her hands as something finally snapped in her head. Her vision turned hazy and bright, her knees buckling in pain and exhaustion.
"Erza!" Lucas, her new guildmate, her junior, her responsibility, spoke, "Take out Lullaby now, it's affecting your mind!"
Finally, things clicked, and her thoughts began to make sense again.
"Kill, Kill, Kill, Kill, Kill, Kill!"
"No, I'll not!" She gripped the sword and pointed it at her throat, its edge nearing her skin. "I would rather end my own life before hurting my family," she shouted, staring at death itself.
As if listening to her conviction, the sword shone brightly, almost like a second sun. She felt her body lighten, as if weights had been lifted off her.
Literally, as the three-eyed flute floated above Erza with a malicious glint in its empty sockets.
"Hahahahaha! You humans are so amusing. It's much better this way; I will gut you myself!"The demon laughed with bloodlust. Erza jumped back toward her teammates, glaring at the demon.
It had nearly made her attack her own guildmates, messing with her thoughts, nearly taking the man's life instead of bringing him to justice.
"I don't know what you are, but I'm going to end you!" She shouted in righteous anger while the holy sword in her hand shone aggressively, promising Light, Order, and the Destruction of anything tainted with darkness.
Ahh, finally update has come. Sorry for long wait. And before anyone complains about the last part, my story my rule, so the demon flute isn't total joke now.
