Today is just another normal day in the guild. Members standing on the Request Board, choosing and picking jobs, people talking and laughing in the tables, Natsu and Gray fighting at the side, and Lucy drinking her strawberry shake as usual. Lucy was sipping in her shake when Gray and Natsu approached her.

"Luigi, let's go on a job!"

"Lucy, you want to go on a job?"

The two boys scowled at each other.

"She's going with me ice stripper!"

"I'm the one who asked her first, flame brain!"

Lucy can only watched as the two fight again, but she froze when she felt an arm snaking on her shoulder. "How about you go with me? We can go somewhere else."

Her mouth gaped open at the boy who said it, but she stifled her laugh when the boy froze, spotting sets of keys on her belt. The boy said sorry before running away. "What's wrong with him?"

"There are rumors going that a wizard like you dumped him." Mira shrugged.

But the said boy came back running, his hand on his knees as he panted at the side of the door. His face in panic, "-za's here! She's coming!"

The rowdy guild became silent, the first time that Lucy had seen before she left for her mission and training. She turned to Mira who's also looking patiently at the door, "She can't be scary, is she?"

"Oh she is, you can say that she's the strongest female wizard at the moment, maybe on par with you?"

"Haha, I'm not that strong Mira."

"Deny all you want, Lucy. But I perceive strong magic radiating off of you."

"Oh."

Their talk was interrupted by Macao, "Erza's nearing. We're dead I'm telling you."

The clinking of armor is the sound that Lucy can hear. She waited in anticipation as the mage entered the doors, obviously carrying something big on the top of her head. A loud thud resonated on the guild, and the members held their breaths, waiting for the mage to start saying something. The girl was a few yards across from Lucy and she can't help but to gasped lightly at the sight. Natsu and Gray probably exaggerated about her. Scarlet hair passed on her shoulders and she wears an armor that suits her, a blue skirt and combat boots to pair.

"She's so pretty."

Mirajane glanced at her when she said that. Oops.

"Is master here?"

Mirajane smiled, "Welcome back! Master's not here right now. He's at the guild conference."

"I see."

"What's that big thing, Erza-san?" They pointed at the humongous thing.

"A horn of a monster that I subdued, the villagers decorated it and gave it to me as a souvenir for saving their town. Is there a problem?"

"No!"

She whipped her head to scan the surrounds of the guild, their knees shaking from nervousness. "While I was on my trip, I heard that you've caused wreckage once again! The master may be understanding but not me!"

"Wacaba! I told you to smoke outside!" Wacaba immediately put off his cigarette.

"Vjiteer! Dance outside."

"Nab! Stop hanging out at the request board and pick a job already."

"Macao!" She sighed, "I'm not gonna say anything for today."

But she said so many already.

"That's Erza for you."

Lucy seemed deep in thought, Even if she kind of complains the way of things here, her voice is soft and she looks like a mature person. Maybe there's no reason to be afraid of her.

"Is Natsu and Gray here?"

Some guild members went aside, giving way to the two boys in an embrace that tells others that they are friends, but obviously they were tightly clutching each other because of nervousness. "We are here Erza!" Gray stated "We're close friends as you can see!"

"Aye!" Natsu sweat dropped.

"They both became like Happy, especially Natsu" Lucy whispered to Aira who nodded in acknowledgement.

Erza nodded, "I see, that's good. You're treating each other as friends."

"But we aren't good friends" Gray muttered under his breath.

"I've never seen Natsu become like this!"

"Well" Mirajane started, "He challenged Erza to a fight a long time ago and he got beaten up."

"Natsu did?!"

Wacaba added, "She found Gray walking around half naked and he got beat up too."

Cana grinned," Also Loke tried to hit on her and we can say he got beaten too"

Erza turned serious in a flash, "I heard something bad while I was coming back. Natsu, Gray, normally I would consult this first to the master but he isn't here and we need to do this urgently. I need your help with something, will you come with me?"

Natsu and Gray only stared at each other, thoughts coming and going through their minds. But still, it's Erza so they said Yes in the end. "We'll go tomorrow."

Mirajane has her hands in her mouth, as if shocked on her discovery. "If the three of them would form a team, they'll be the strongest team of Fairy Tail."

Lucy could only peer.

The sound of the whistling of the train can be heard at this place, people running, catching their rides while pulling their luggage's with them. Two people were arguing again in the middle of the train station.

"Why am I partners with you?! Erza doesn't need you! We could handle it ourselves, ice stripper!"

"You stole my line, flame brain! Who wants to be team with you anyways!"

"Say Lucy, why are you only watching them? I thought you said Mira wants you to go watch them to prevent them from fighting."

"Well I wouldn't want to embarrass myself just scolding those two. Besides, I actually want to go to this mission. I feel like I'll be fighting again!"

"You're like Natsu, Lucy"

"Cause we're the same!"

While the four of them bickered at each other - with Aira watching while sitting on Lucy's shoulder - Erza approached to their direction. Aira seeing this on her peripheral vision, dodged Lucy who grunted. "What?"

"She's approaching."

"I'm sorry. Did I kept you waiting?"

"What - dang! Too much luggage!" She reacted with mouth gaped open, looking at numerous luggage's on Erza's cart.

"Natsu, Gray, are you fighting?" She proceeded towards the boys who were still arguing and insulting each other. The two visibly tensed, their arms automatically wrapping on each other's neck. "No! We're friends with each other!"

"It's important to be on good terms"

"Aye!"

Lucy facepalmed, "Natsu became Happy again."

Now it was her turn to go stiff when Erza went turned to her direction, Happy laughed deviously beside her which caused Lucy to glare at the male cat, who shut his mouth as fast as the lightning. She bowed to greet her formally, "Hello, Erza."

"Oh, I saw you at the guild yesterday. Are you a new member?"

Lucy chuckled, "No. I am a returning member of Fairy Tail."

The scarlet haired mage frowned, deep in thought "Are you the one who left the guild on a mission and decided to train for more?"

She nodded. "My name's Lucy."

Erza continued, "You're also the one who defeated a gorilla with a flick of her finger! A strong mage indeed."

Lucy sweat dropped before muttering "Not really. Who spread that rumor?" She took a glance at Happy, who averted his gaze, but obviously trying his best not to laugh. "Can I join to wherever you are going?"

Erza replied, "We will be glad that you can join us. What's the name of your cat?"

"Oh sorry. Erza this is Aira, and Aira this is Erza." The female cat extended her little paw "Nice to meet you."

"Vice versa. She's more polite than Happy." They both shook their hand/paw. She glanced at the two boys behind her, who instantly behaved "I'll explain the mission on the train. Come on."

"I have one condition, Erza" Natsu interrupted.

"Hey!"

"What is it?"

"Fight me when we get back! I became stronger while you were gone!"

"I agree that you have gotten stronger. I might be in a disadvantage but I accept your condition."

"Okay let's go!"

"You challenged Erza earlier and you're here like this. Lucy's also the same?!" Gray and Erza looked at the two dragon slayers beside them, both having their face twisted in pain and disgust.

Natsu whispered shakily, "I-I thought you weren't the same as me Lucy? You didn't got motion sickness on Bora's ship."

Lucy whispered back weakly as Natsu, "I took pills. Since this is not urgent, I decided not to take it. It would make me immune if I drink every time I have to ride a vehicle."

"Give me one." Aira rummaged into Lucy's sling bag while Lucy leaned on the window, her face drained of color. Aira passed a pill on Happy, who took it into Natsu's mouth. A few seconds after, Natsu's face returned in color and he sat up grinning at Lucy. "Thanks Lucy!"

"Don't mention it."

"Just take one" Natsu urged.

"No, I can handle it"

"But- "

"I'm fine Natsu."

Erza and Gray watched in amusement between the exchange of two. Natsu huffed before crossing his arms. Aira seemed to know what Lucy's thinking so she asked in her friend's behalf, "Not to be rude Erza san, but what is your magic? Lucy is curious"

Happy answered, "Erza's magic is beautiful and it makes people bleed!"

She winced, blood isn't beautiful.

"I believe Gray's magic is more beautiful than mine."

Gray puts his fist closed on top of his palm and after a few seconds, smoke began to come out of his hand and when he opened his fist, an emblem of Fairy Tail made of ice is on his open palm. Lucy gaped even though her face twisted in dizziness again. "It's been ages since I saw your magic. Good to know that it became more prettier over the years."

Gray gave a laugh before returning his attention to Erza, "What is the reason why you need us?"

Erza sighed, annoyed at the fact that Lucy grunts every time like Natsu, so she decided to do the same at the girl. She punched her in the gut. Lucy didn't passed out quickly, but she was barely conscious, "That's not nice."

Natsu and Gray pretended not to see anything while Aira grimaced at the scarlet haired mage who stared in return. "What?"

"I don't know if Lucy's gonna be mad at you or not."

Erza showed no emotions at the cat's statement. "What do you mean?"

"Never mind, just continue saying what's the problem is. I'm sure Lucy's listening to bits of information."

Erza shrugged before continuing, "While I was on my mission, I stopped on one of the wizard pubs along the way."

It was on Onibas, and Erza was currently drinking in the bar when a man's voice caught her attention.

"Where's our booze?"

One of his companions hissed, "Calm down! Don't cause a scene here"

"How can I be? We know where Lullaby is but we can't retrieve it because of a stupid seal!"

"Tone your voice down!'

A calm voice reassured them but you can tell it's a male's voice, "Don't worry about it. I will go there and solve that seal. You guys head back to the guild."

"Kage?"

"Are you sure?"

"I am. Tell Erigor that I'll be back in three days and I will have the Lullaby with me."

"Lullaby? It sounds like a kids song!" Natsu hollered

"It is, now shut up before Erza gets mad!" Gray grumbled. "Do you think it's strong?"

"Yes, the fact that they said it's sealed means it can never be released to the world."

"So they are members of the Eisenwald too?"

"Yes, but at that time I forgot who 'Erigor' is"

"Who is he?" Natsu asked.

"Eisenwald's ace. He does assassination jobs only and earned the nickname 'Erigor the Reaper'. Assasination jobs were banned by the magic council but they decided to not follow it, thinking that money is more important. Because of this, they were removed from the wizard league six years ago, but they are still operating up to this day."

"I'm so stupid! If I only recognized that name at that time, I should've cornered them and asked." She clenched her fist, "I shouldn't had let them get away."

"Where did you heard them?" Natsu asked, surprisingly listening to the conversation. "I last heard them in Onibas so we're going down there."

"What type of instrument are they talking about?"

"They call it Lullaby."

They got down on the platform while still talking, "I plan to have you two back me up incase something happens"

"I know it's rude to interrupt but where are Lucy and Aira?"

Happy watched as the train left their sight.

"Stupid! Why did I forgot them? Natsu! Why didn't you reminded me?!"

Natsu answered scared, "I also didn't noticed because I was excited to get off. Surely she will take the pill after this."

"We have to get her back in case she's still stubborn"

"Please hit me!"

"We don't need to do that!" Natsu and Gray sweat dropped.

A man walked on the hallways of the train, spotting a woman with a familiar guild mark on her left arm while a female cat was on her side, watching her movements. The woman was obviously wasn't feeling well but the man still went nearer.

"Oh, a beautiful mage from a legal guild. A fairy." Lucy could only huff heavily, still fighting her dizziness. "Do you know what I call your kind?"

Aira watched warily. "We call you flies!"

He was supposed to stomp Lucy's face when her hand shot up, blocking his feet. "Just because I'm weak right now doesn't mean I can't fight. Aira give me the pill."

She continued holding his foot tight, the man wincing in pain as she quickly popped the pill in her mouth. Her color went back to her face in a second as she rose from her seat. She snorted, "the presence that you give off is familiar, have I seen you before?"

The man's eyes widened when he got a close look to her face. Jeez, she's the one who defeated our guild's dropouts, tied them in a rope. I need to get away before she catches on and recognizes my aura. Erigor's going to be mad. "I have never seen you before, fairy."

Lucy raised an eyebrow, "Never mind. But know that you'll pay for planning to stomp me in the face."

Lucy's grin turned creepy, and the man also felt a shiver in his spine. She creeps me out.

The man stepped backwards, while Lucy's stance turned offensive, ready to attack. She was about to start hitting the man when the train stopped out of the blue. She was thrown to the side of the room, her back aching. The man was also gone in a blink. "Damn. Who did that?"

Aira flied to her, eyebrows furrowed.

"We are sorry for the emergency stop. The train will start again soon"

"We should go down while they've stopped" aira continued "maybe they already noticed that you are gone. I bet they did that."

"They actually left us. Where are we?"

"I don't know."

"Okay. Come on. Let's just go back to the way we came from."

The train left when Lucy just stepped down on the back. They watched as the train slowly went out of their sight. "Do we walk or run?"

"I can just carry you for old times sake."

"But you always complain that I'm heavy"

"I was kidding!"

Aira put her paws into Lucy's shoulders and they flied back. "Someone's approaching fast, Lucy"

"Put me down, that's them"

Erza spotted someone at the side of rail tracks and when she saw the blonde hair, she skidded to a complete stop, Natsu and Happy banged their head on the front of the magic mobile while Gray was also thrown out because he was at the top of the vehicle. Lucy dodged the incoming Gray. "Are you okay?!"

"Sure! I'm fine!"

"Glad that you're okay. I'm sorry for forgetting and leaving you"

Erza put her hand on Lucy's neck, and smashed her at her armour. Lucy squeaked, "Hard"

"Why did you left me there? Natsu! You didn't even remembered me"

"Sorry Luce! But I think you took the pill? Because you're here and not producing weird sounds!"

"I had no choice! Some guy tried to attack me there and I don't want to be hit when I can fight"

"Tried to attack you?" Erza asked.

"Yeah, he seems familiar though, like the one who appeared in the forest"

Gray asked, "Forest?"

"Yes in the forest, when you found me looking in the tree weirdly. Prior to that Aira had warned me that there were a group of mages wanting to kidnap our friends – Happy and Aira and eat them after… so I have to prevent them. When I finished tying them to the tree, one of them whispered something about Lullaby before a shadow appeared and took them somewhere I think?"

"Why didn't you call us Luce!"

"Cause you two were busy fighting, and they seemed easy so.." Lucy shrugged.

"If what you are saying is true, we must go to Oshibana Station immediately. We might reach Erigor or his group."

"Are they really after Lullaby?"

"Didn't I told you earlier?"

"I didn't paid attention earlier because you punched me in the gut" Lucy glared at the soil in front of her, not wanting to meet Erza's gaze. "Anyways, that man in the train whispered something about Eisenwald or something"

"Stupid! They are our target! Why did you let them go?!"

"I didn't! He disappeared when the train stopped suddenly" Erza could only facepalm herself, and began to head to the driver's seat, Natsu and Gray went inside on the back of the magic mobile, while Happy and Aira followed. Lucy still didn't moved from her spot.

Erza spoke in a low tone, "Lucy? Go inside."

Lucy shook her head, grasping Erza's wrist in attempt to put her down. Erza's brows furrowed while Lucy sighed, "I'll drive."

"We don't have time for this, get inside."

Lucy whispered, "You're tired so instead of me taking a seat there, why don't you go and take a rest atleast for a bit."

"We have to-"

"Don't make me carry you there myself" Lucy spoke in a firm tone that left Erza no choice but to step down on the driver's seat.

"Fine"

Lucy only smiled at her, before taking Erza's earlier spot. Erza grunted before hopping on the back. "E-erza?" Both boys asked shocked. "What are you doing here?"

"Sitting of course. Lucy offered to drive" she reasoned, ashamed on herself for using too much magic power on the vehicle. "You have a problem with that?"

"Of course not. We're just shocked that you are here." Both boys sweat dropped, hoping they didn't angered the scarlet haired mage. Erza ignored them. The vehicle soon started to move, faster than before that Erza has to grip somewhere.

"You don't have to be ashamed" a familiar voice spoke.

Erza thought she was hearing things but the voice only giggled "I'm speaking to you through your mind, don't worry"

She took a glance to Aira who smiled in return, trying not to laugh out loud "For a cat, you sure are impressive. Do you have any more power besides flying and telepathy?"

"I can also do takeover magic but it takes too much magic power"

"I see, so what were you saying earlier?"

"You don't have to be ashamed of losing magic power. Besides, Lucy wouldn't want one of her teammates to pass out later"

"How does she know that I was tired? The boys didn't even noticed or felt"

"She just knows"

"What if Lucy's going to run out of magic power? The vehicle runs way too fast"

"Don't worry about Lucy, she can handle it"

"What makes you think so?"

"Because I had been with her for years now. Trust me"

They felt the vehicle skidded to a sudden stop, all of them were thrown to front except Erza who was still gripping hard on the sides of the seat. They stepped out of the magic mobile slightly dizzy, but became more focus after a few seconds. Erza went to Lucy who looked like she didn't even break single sweat on driving the car. "Tired?"

"I'm fine, thanks"

Erza trudged through the crowd that's surrounding the station. The others soon followed, muttering a few excuse me's and going through. Erza went straight on one of the soldiers that's guarding the entrance of the station. "What's happening here?"

"A group of thugs are inside, but we already sent some soldiers to control the situation"

"They still haven't come back?"

"No"

"Then let us go inside to help them"

"W-what? Who do you think you are-" Erza headbutted him "We are a group of mages so move"

The soldiers reluctantly moved and Erza ushered the group inside. When they turned to a hallway, they saw the soldiers laying on the floor, unconscious. "Did they really expect these soldiers can beat those mages?"

"Well, its up to us now. I'm itching to fight!" Natsu cheered but Gray hit him in the head.

They glared at each other, Erza ignored them. "Come on!"

They continued walking until they reached a big room, where passengers gather before their time departing. Lucy who seemed deep in thought did not notice that they had stopped, so she crashed into Natsu's back. "Natsu - "

She glanced to where they are looking, a whole dark guild was in front of them, snickering and had disgusting smiles plastered into their faces. She almost gagged if she hadn't seen one familiar face. "You!-"

A man who's carrying a scythe on his shoulder chuckled darkly, "Uh huh, what are you fairies doing here?"

"Erigor!"

"You flies don't have a place here , go back to where you belong, in the garbage" His men laughed with him. But they were stopped when Erza's voice boomed on the hall "What are you planning on doing with Lullaby?"

"We can kill those people on the front, those normal humans do not know who they are dealing with."

"You plan on broadcasting the Lullaby in this station?!"

"What do you think? This is cleansing. People who proudly flaunt their rights not knowing that there are people whose rights were stripped off of them. It is a sin on being oblivious to this. Therefore, I had come to bring them their punishment, for I am the Reaper!"

"That doesn't bring you your rights back! Besides you were the reason why it was removed in the first place!"

"This isn't a matter of rights now, it is power. A power to correct the past and present, and to control the future!"

"You're pathetic!"

"So sorry flies. You wouldn't get to see the world being enveloped in the age of darkness!" The man who Lucy met in the train said, he released shadows in the ground, which went to their direction. Lucy slapped them away with her fists glowing. "We still haven't finish that fight earlier."

Erigor turned to his men "Stomp this flies. I don't have time to deal with them"

"Hey!"

Erigor flew away in a blink, and Erza turned to the boys "Natsu! Gray! Follow him!"

"Okay! We got it!" The boys dashed out of the hall, leaving Erza and Lucy with the whole dark guild. Two of Erigor's trusted men, including the man that Lucy had encountered on the train went to follow Natsu and Gray. Erza hissed, frustrated.

"We're handling them?" Lucy asked.

Erza nodded, "We don't have a choice"

"Let me beat them"

"You just drove a magic mobile"

"But I'm fine, right Aira?"

The cat nodded and Erza can't help but to sigh "Okay"

"Yes!"

The men laughed "Oh, two female mages, what can you do?"

"Idiots! Don't you dare insult Fairy Tail"

"what can a female do? They are weak. Men are superior."

"You're making me mad"

The roundish man thought that the girl who was currently fighting them appeared to be familiar to him. A cloak, blonde hair, a face that seemed innocent but is dangerous when angered, combat boots, celestial spirits. Wait, what? He nudged one of the men beside him, "Hey she's The Golden Reaper!"

"What did you say?"

One of the men who's supposed to attack Lucy stepped backwards after hearing what Karacka – the rounded man – said. "I didn't join this guild to get beaten by her!" He was shocked when Lucy appeared in front of him and knocked him out, "Heh. If you know my title, you know what I do to dark guilds do you?"

They didn't believed her, "there's no way you're in Fairy Tail!"

"Well, I am!"

Erza was curious though, "She's the Golden Reaper?!"

Aira laughed, "So she's famous here? We didn't know that!"

"She is said to have defeated dark guilds and helped some of the legal guilds in Giltena, the northern continent. They always say that they haven't saw her face, but they can figure out that she's smiling the whole time that she's defeating people, which is creepy. They said she is ruthless"

"She's not really bad, trust me"

Erza watched on the side, with Aira sitting on her shoulders. They noticed the aura that Lucy's emitting, just like the one on Everlue's mansion. Erza stood there awed, looks like she can scare the guild too.

"Oh she can" Aira interrupted "Her patience is actually long but the trigger button on releasing it is if someone mocks her or Fairy tail. After that, you can wish that someone who mocked her doesn't end up dead"

"d-dead?"

"If she doesn't hold back" Aira points out Lucy who is now in a fight with the dark guild, her spirit Taurus on her side. "I'm sure you can tell that she's going easy on them, right?"

Erza observed first before answering "I can tell"

Her eyes followed Lucy while she's beating them, she saw how Lucy tried not to injure them too much, just hitting the vital points in their bodies where they will lose consciousness fast.

"Good thing she didn't summon Aquarius"

"Aquarius?"

"Her mermaid spirit, she can wipe them in just a wave"

"What?"

"Don't worry, she only summons her when she needs to. That mermaid is super scary."

They observe as Lucy was getting surrounded by the dark guild members. Erza swore that she saw Lucy's eyes turned red, so she asked in case she's going crazy "Does Lucy's eyes turn red?"

"Sometimes, either when she's annoyed or planning on using her other magic"

"Other magic?"

"Didn't you know? Lucy's second magic is being a dragon slayer and the first one being a celestial wizard, so maybe she's going to use fire?"

Just after Aira had said that, Lucy's fists flamed, but instead of red fire, its yellow. "Yellow?"

"Celestial fire" Aira grinned, "That hurts more than Natsu's fire"

"So she's stronger than Natsu?"

"Maybe? I can't say but she has more tricks up in her sleeve"

Erza stepped in before Lucy can finish them all, standing in front of her, Lucy seemed a bit sweating, her tiredness slightly shown from having to drive the magic mobile and taking out half of the dark guild. Still, their numbers hadn't much lessen and Erza didn't have a choice but to participate too.

She glared at Lucy who didn't even act like she's scared - well she's really scared inside - who returned the gaze with her cold eyes. Erza averted her gaze on the men in front of her "I don't have a choice but to finish this"

A red circle appeared in front of her, and a sword fell into her hand. "What's that?"

Lucy asked to Happy who was silent the whole time "That's Erza's magic!"

"Try insult Fairy Tail again, you wouldn't get to see the world tomorrow!"

"That's nothing special. We have swordsmen on our side too!"

The man who said that soon ate his words as the scarlet haired mage slashed through the circle of people, few people were thrown on the side, and she continued slashing through them.

"Eat this!"

The mages all attacked her at the same time with their magic, and Lucy was worried but Erza jumped on the air and her weapon changed from a sword into a spear. "Her weapon changed?!"

She cut through the people again, two of Erigor's men observed as she changed her weapon.

"Now she has twin swords!"

"She can requip fast!"

Lucy asked, "Requip?"

"Her magic is similar to celestial magic too! She summons different kinds of weapons in her pocket space and switching between weapons is called 'requipping'"

"That's amazing!"

"That's Erza for you!"

"Erza?" The man whispered, barely audible because of the noise but Lucy heard nonetheless "Is Erza that famous?"

"Huh?' The male cat asked.

"Nothing" She continued to watch the scarlet mage as she continue the lessen of her enemies.

"I guess I have to take you all out for once"

A light began to surround her, and the men were gawking at her, thinking that they will see her naked. Perverts.

"Erza fights while requipping weapons, but she can also change her armors too to increase her abilities! Erza's magic is called 'The Knight'!"

"Dance my swords!"

The rounded man seemed to remember who she's facing with, "Don't tell me she's..?!

"Circle Sword!"

The swords attacked the remaining people, who were thrown in different directions, their bodies lay there, unmoving.

One of the men tried to attack her, "You're dealing with me!"

"No!"

But before he could lay a hand on Erza, he was gashed by Erza's sword, and becomes unconscious as well.

"She's the strongest woman in Fairy Tail. 'Titania, Queen of Fairies' Erza!"

Karacka ran off, "I'm out of here! I can't believe they're both in Fairy Tail!"

Lucy beamed, "I think I could fall for her!"

The two cats only stared at her. "That slipped out. I didn't mean it!"

They ignored her, while Erza looked at the retreating figure of the Eisenwald mage. "He might go to Erigor. Follow him"

"What about you?"

"I'm fine. Go now."

"Okay. Happy, go with me!"

"Aye!"

Lucy and Aira exchanged glances before the blonde dashed out of the place. When she was gone, Erza plopped on her knees, "I guess I overdid it even if I had a rest earlier. It depends to those three now"

"Here" Aira offered a vial with a liquid that to Erza.

Erza jolted, "What are you doing here?"

"Lucy asked me to stay here" she shrugged " Told me to give you this"

"What's that?"

"A potion, in case of emergency. It restores some of the magic power that you have lost"

"But I don't need that"

"You think, but Lucy thinks you need to drink it" the female cat sighed, "She told me that you did amazing there"

She accepted the vial and hesitantly took a sip. It didn't taste weird, so she drank all of them. She can feel some of her fatigue were gone and her magic power returning. She gave back the vial to Aira before asking, "Why did she not interrupt in the fight like earlier?"

"Who knows" Aira continued "Maybe she wants to see you fight"

"Huh? You are weird like Happy, you know. I don't know why she and Natsu has cats"

"I'm not weird like Happy!" the female cat shouted,

Erza chuckled in response. "By the way, why did you read my mind in the vehicle?"

"I can't help not to. I sensed Lucy's distress and you stepped in the car instead of her so I didn't have an option."

"But still, that's like invading someone's privacy"

"I don't do it unless it's needed! Besides I can control whether I want to hear other's thoughts or not."

"That's good. Just don't do it again"

"Of course, Lucy is going to be mad if I do that"

Erza only smiled back deciding not to say anymore.

Some of Lucy's backstories and the answers to some of your questions would be answered soon!
