Chapter 3
The guild was the same as always some people were drinking others were chatting the rest were either fighting or picking up a mission.
Everything was going normally until the front door slammed open revelling an average height male with orange hair wearing a green fur lined coat and an orange shirt.
"This is bad!" He yelled getting everyone's attention, "Its Erza…. She's back!"
This made everyone panic in terror at the threat to come.
Everyone stopped as the sound of heavy metal footsteps came closer to the guild, revelling one of the most beautiful women ever seen. She had long red hair, brown eyes, a slender figure and large breasts. She was wearing a Heart Kreuz personalised with the fairy tail insignia, a blue skirt and black boots.
She was carrying a large horn over her head which she quickly placed on the floor.
"I have returned. Is the master here?" the red head said.
"The master is at a conference." Said Mirajane Strauss, a slim well-endowed woman with long white hair, she wore a maroon pleated ankle length dress with high heel shoes.
"Listen on the road I heard that Fairy tail had been causing problems. Master may let you get away with it but I won't!" Said Erza; before turning to face members of the guild.
"Cana stop drinking dressed like that! Vijeeter dance outside! Wakaba I see cigarette butts on the floor! Nab pick a job! Macao!" she said before taking a deep breath.
"Honestly, you cause so much trouble, but I'll be kind and say nothing today."
"Is Naruto here?" She asked Mira who shook her.
"No he is still on his mission to capture a manticore in the west forest; he should be back late tomorrow." She said seeing the disappointment in Erza's face at her words.
"Plan B then." Erza saidto herself before turning to face Natsu and Grey who were in a weird head lock hug.
"Natsu, Grey I need your help for a mission."
"Sure Erza." Said a blue haired boy called Grey Fullbuster all he was wearing was a pair of dark coloured boxers and a necklace.
"Aye." Said a boy; with spikey pink hair. Fang like teeth; he was wearing a black jacket with orange trim; matching three quarter length pants and a pair of sandals.
"Be at the train station tomorrow." Erza said before walking out of the guild.
The Next day
It was early in the morning at the train station in Mongolia town; Grey and Natsu were doing their usual thing of picking a fight with each other, whilst a blond haired, blue eyed well-endowed woman called Lucy sat on a bench next to the magic blue cat Happy.
Lucy's conversation with happy was cut short by the arrival of Erza carrying a cart full of luggage, her surprised reaction was made even bigger when the two arguing mages were suddenly jumping up and down hugging each other claiming they were best friends.
"I'm sorry I didn't notice you before, who are you again?" Erza asked Lucy who responded with,
"I'm Lucy I am new at the guild, Mira asked me to come along."
"So you're the young mage who defeated a gorilla mercenary with just one finger. With you on bored, this mission will be easy." Erza said causing Lucy face fault in surprise.
"Erza I will come along on one condition, after the mission us two will fight." Natsu said gaining the red heads attention.
"Natsu you idiot your just going to lose again." Grey said putting his hand on Natsu shoulder to calm him down.
"I am stronger than last time Erza I won't lose." The dragon slayer said.
"I can tell you have improved but let's see if it's enough to beat me." Erza said making Natsu yell out in joy that his challenge was accepted.
On the train
Natsu was currently knocked out curtsey from a punch to the cut by Erza.
"So Erza would like to enlighten us on what the job is about?" Grey asked for once he was fully dressed even wearing a coat this time.
"Yes I might as well, we are after the dark guild Eisenwald they currently have a dark magic called Lullaby in their possession we don't know what they are going to do with it but it is going to be very big.
"Lullaby like those things you sing to kids?" Lucy asked.
"I don't know if it's like what you said but it was sealed for a reason and that is enough for me. But the thing I am most worried about is the leader of Eisenwald; the grim reaper Erigor."
"How did he get that nickname?" Lucy asked terrified at the threat to come.
"Once upon a time Eisenwald was a legal guild like us. Then when the council banned assentation jobs Eisenwald decided money was more important than following the law so they became a dark guild. Erigor got his nickname because of all the people he had killed." Erza said making Lucy shiver at the thought of going up against such a person.
At Oshibana station
A blond haired nineteen year old male was sitting on a bench in the train station. The blond was of average height slightly built with ocean blue eyes. He was wearing a white t-shirt with a black fur lined overcoat and black combats. On his feet was a pair of boots.
"According to the message Mira sent me I need to catch one more train so I can meet up with Erza." The blond said out load to himself. "Luckily I finished that mission quickly the manticore was only a kit so it wasn't much trouble to capture. I took the first train back home. That's when Mira contacted me and told me that Erza and two others would be here sooner or later so I got of my train and decided to wait here."
The blond was Naruto Namikaze s-class mage of fairy tail. Son of two of the ten Wizard saints. But most important to him Boyfriend to Erza Scarlet! He loved that girl more than anything and was waiting to take their relationship up a notch. They have dated since Naruto returned to the guild; they spent most of the time with each other. They had done some intimate things with each other. They practically lived together. Why not just make it complete.
"All I need is the right ring and location and I am good to go." He said to himself before noticing a large group of people enter the station.
"This is going to be trouble!" Naruto said to himself before getting ready for a fight.
Back on the train
The group was just sitting on the train chatting and waiting until they reached their destination.
"Erza what type of magic do you use?" Lucy asked wondering what the most powerful female in fairy tail magic was.
"Erza's magic is very pretty it makes her enemies bleed a lot." Said Happy.
"It's not that pretty I think Greys magic is much more beautiful." Erza said, before looking at Grey who put both hand together and made an ice sculpture of the Fairy Tail symbol.
"I use ice make magic." Grey said calmly before he started to look out of the window again.
"Get ready were here." Erza said before getting up and walking out of the train to the platform.
After everyone was outside they left the platform and continued to the main city. Until "Where's Natsu?" said Happy sitting on Erza's luggage.
"Dammit! This is my fault can you please hit me." Yelled Erza before rushing to a rent a magic mobile stand.
On the train
Natsu was sitting in his chair depressed he hated trains they always made him sick.
"A fairy tail mark you must be one of those legal mages." Said a man who was wearing a white outfit, including coat and pants. He then kicked Natsu in the face.
"Don't act so big because you are in an official guild, Mr Fairy. Do you know what we call you guys? We call you flies." He said before jumping backwards when he noticed Natsu's hand light up.
"You call that magic, this is real magic." The mysterious attacker said before activating a circle sending his shadow out to attack Natsu; hitting him square in the chest.
The train the suddenly stopped; causing the bad guy to fall over allowing an old wooden flute with three eyes carved into it to fall out of his pocket.
"Huh what's that? Natsu said getting to his feet.
"You have seen it." The shadow mage said before seeing Natsu jump at him his fist on fire aiming straight for him.
"Shadow guard." The dark mage said forcing his shadow to cover him from the attack.
"The temporary train stop was an accident by an outside source we will now continue the journey." The voice of the intercom said before the train slowly started to move.
"Crap, I got to get out of here." Natsu said realising what was going on he quickly reached for his back pack and went to exit the train.
"You're going to regret crossing paths with Eisenwald!" said the shadow user.
"You're with Eisenwald, huh? I'll teach you to mock fairy tail!" before realising the train was picking up speed and decided to jump out of the window, head-butting Grey who was holding onto the magic-mobiles roof."
"Natsu you okay?" asked Erza when she stopped the car.
After a few seconds both Natsu and Grey were standing and arguing over whose fault it is.
"Besides some weirdo attacking me on the train I'm ok."
"Weirdo?" asked Lucy.
"Yeah he was a part of the group that tried to eat Happy, claimed to be a part of Eisenwald…"
"You fool!" Erza yelled as she slapped Natsu, "Were going after Eisenwald! Why did you let him get away?"
"First time I've heard of it."
"We discussed this on the train on the way here. You should start to pay attention more!" Erza replied as she turned and walked over to the magic-mobile, strapped herself in and said "He was on that train, we're going after it!"
"What was the guy like?" Grey asked trying to find out what the teams foe looked like.
"He wasn't very distinctive all I can remember is that he carried a creepy flute that had three eyes."
"Wait, did you say three eyes?" Lucy asked in horror.
"Yeah; why?" Natsu said as clueless as ever.
"I have read about lullaby its death magic, supposedly created by Zeref."
"Really"
"Yes, and that's why we have to stop Eisenwald before they use it!" Erza said, everyone quickly agreed with her on got in the car and travelled full speed following the train tracks.
At Oshibana station
Naruto having quickly sensed the oncoming threat, decided to get into a relaxed fighting stance not to raise suspicion. And then it happened. The doors flew open revelling a large group of people, none of them looked like travellers or tourists and Naruto could tell there was a bad vibe coming from them.
"Ladies and gentlemen this station is now the property of Eisenwald, so Prepare to die!" Yelled the leader of the group; A lean built man with long sliver white hair carrying a large scythe on his back.
"Magic wind palm!" Yelled the Scythe carrier as he covered his palms in wind magic and thrust them forwards, towards the group of civilians Naruto was standing in.
"Shit!" Naruto screamed in his own mind before jumping from his place in the crowd doing a front flip and landing in front of the attack.
"Fire demons spiral shield!" yelled Naruto as he put his palms in front of him, activating a magic circle Narutos white flames started to spin creating a large circular shield blocking the attack, keeping the normal people safe.
"Everyone get out of here now." Naruto yelled getting everyone's attention. "I'll hold them off." And with that he shot forward hands and feet on fire ready to kick some ass.
Later with Erza team
The team had just arrived at the station, wondering why there was a massive crowd outside complaining and the rumours floating around during their complaints. Erza decided to go straight to the guy with the megaphone to find out what's happening.
"Tell me! What's happening inside?"
"Who are you?" the guy said before being head butted by Erza who decided to ask the next person. That also ended with a headbutt.
Lucy who was carrying Natsu at the time noticed this and said "I guess she has no use to people who can't answer her quickly."
"Finally starting to understand what she's really like." Said Grey
"Where are your clothes?"
"Eisenwald inside lets go." Erza said getting a nod from Grey and a complaint from Lucy about having to carry Natsu.
The team then ran inside to find the dark guild after noticing some dead or knock out soldiers, but the thing that surprised them the most was when a body came flying through the archway landing a few yards behind them.
"Someone is fighting up there lets go." Erza said starting to climb up the steps to the platform.
"Erza shouldn't we help him?" Lucy asked who instantly regretted it after seeing the look Erza was giving her.
"He was one of the guys I overheard talking about Lullaby leave him." Was all she said before continuing upwards.
"Look like the fly has reinforcements." Said Erigor; noticing Erza's team presence.
"What do you mean by reinforcements?" Erza asked wondering what was going on.
"Wait a minute, Erza!" Naruto yelled out getting Erza's attention.
"Naruto is that you?"
"Yeah I could use a little help here some of these pricks got a few lucky shots in when I was trying to get the civilians out."
"Got It, Re-Equip!" she said before activating a magic circle summoning a sword into her hand and charging into the group.
"That's nothing we got tons of magic swordsmen right here." One member yelled out as a small group left to do battle against Erza.
They were instantly cut down by her much better skills.
"Good to see you again angel eyes." Naruto said quietly as the couple were now back to back.
"Same here hot stuff." She replied in the same soft quite tone.
"So jackass with the scythe what are you doing taking over a train station?"
Erigor leapt on to one of the station announcement speakers.
"You plan on broadcasting it?"
"There are thousands of onlookers outside that at the right volume will be in the melody's range. No if I put on full power I could wipe out the whole city."
"What melody is he talking about?" Naruto asked Mira didn't give him much info on the mission and he was too busy protecting civilians to hear any plan.
"It's a forbidden form of magic death magic." Erza replied before re-facing Erigor.
"I plan on using Lullaby to cleanse the world of fools who preserve their livelihoods by flaunting their rights, ignorant of those who've had their rights stolen away. It is a sin to live oblivious in this unfair world. Therefore… the reaper has come to dish out punishment."
"That won't give you your rights back, and besides you lost them when you decided to keep doing the wrong thing." Lucy replied.
"We don't want rights. We want power!" Erigor said back.
"Fire demons: Chaotic combustion!" Naruto yelled cutting Erigor off throwing a spear of white flames at the wind mage. Who only just managed to dodge it by using his flight magic, the attack continued on and went straight through the roof of the station followed by an explosion creating even more damage.
"Naruto you idiot stop destroying everything. It gives the guild a bad reputation!" Erza yelled at the demon slayer before slapping him on the back of his head.
"Sorry Erza I didn't expect him to dodge." Naruto replied only to inwardly scream at the look his girlfriend was giving him.
"I am leaving the rest to you. Show the true terror of a dark guild." Erigor said before he disappeared.
"Natsu, Grey you two follow him; together you can beat him." Erza yelled from inside the crowed getting ready for a fight.
Natsu and Grey were also getting ready for a fight against each other.
"Are you two listening?" Erza yelled back.
"Aye sir!" Both said before running after Erigor.
"Only two girls and a flaky looking blond how is this supposed to stop us?"
"Like this! Fire demons: Howl!" Naruto yelled out sending out a large stream of fire from his mouth towards the dark mages in front of him.
"Open gate of the giant crab! Cancer!" Lucy yelled out whilst activating her magic key summoning a man, with six crab legs on his back. Holding two pairs of scissors; wearing an open collar blue shirt with dark blue pants and sunglasses.
"Take them out with style." Lucy commanded and Cancer shot off cutting all of her opponent's weapons and hairs making them all look like a kappa.
"Nice cut, shrimp." Cancer said after finishing the attack.
"Nice work Lucy!" Erza said making Lucy cheer in happiness. "However his sentence ending bugs me he should say something like snip not shrimp." Making them both depressed.
"That being said there are still so many of them." Erza said before activating her magic "Re-equip."
"Her armour is coming off!" said one of the dark mages whilst the others looked on with hearts in there eyes.
"Fire Demons Slayer: Double Demon Burner!" Naruto yelled out sending his white hot flames from his palms towards the group looking at his girlfriend trying to catch a glimpse of her nude. "Only I get to do that." Naruto screamed in his own head; his attack effectively burning half the group into unconsciousness.
"That spell, one half fairy tail's royal family Naruto Uzumaki the flame king."
Erza at this point had finished her transformation, appearing in silver armour with a small breastplate that barely covered her chest. Her biceps were protected with metal straps and she also had on very large plated gauntlets that supported a feather shape design on them. Her lower body was protected by a large skirt and boots also supporting metal ornaments shaped like wings. On her back was a pair of large metallic wings as well.
"Dance my blades. Circle sword! Erza yelled out summoning a number of blades in front of her which span in a circle at high speeds until Erza released the spell sending the swords at the remaining members until only two were left standing.
"Whoa, they defeated all of them using only one attack each." Lucy said before noticing Naruto and blushing. "He's cute!" she added.
One of the two remaining members charged at Erza his fists glowing only to be cut down in an instant.
"There's no doubt about it… it the Titania, the Queen of the fairies! Erza! With the royal family here I have no chance." said the last standing member of Eisenwald, before running away.
Erza de-equipped her heaven wheel armour and appeared in her normal outfit.
Lucy was off her head saying how she has fallen for both Erza and the mystery blond.
"Nice work Erza." Naruto said before hugging her tightly which Erza then turned into a passionate kiss.
Lucy seeing this was heartbroken at how the sexy mystery man and the gorgeous Erza were apparently dating.
"Lucy go after him now." Erza said making Lucy snap out of her daze before starting to run off.
"So who was that?" Naruto asked as he caught Erza how had nearly collapsed at the lack of magic in her body.
"Lucy she's new."
"She's cute." Naruto said earning him a glare from Erza.
"Don't worry you are still the only one for me beside both you and mum will kill me if I go after anyone else." Naruto joked earning a small giggle from Erza who proceeded to give him a quick peck on the lips.
"Let's just have a break here Natsu, Grey and Lucy can do a bit whilst we recover." Erza said as she leaned back into Naruto's arms, smiling as he tightened his hold on her and whispered in her ear "I love you."
That's chapter three done next chapter will be the conclusion (I hope) of the lullaby arc. Please review, fav and follow. See you next time.
