Chapter 5: Vs. Carnivine

"It's been so long, Makarov! I've heard Fairy Tail has been getting a lot of cute little people lately!" Bob, the guild master of the Blue Pegasus guild giggled. "I heard one of the girls defeated a hardened coordinator in a challenger's contest!"

"Oh, Lucy you mean. She's got a nice body." Makarov said drunkenly. He was enjoying himself a bit too much at the conference.

"Be careful, Makarov. The council doesn't like your guild that much, you know." Goldmine, the guild master of Quatro Cerberus commented. "They think they'll destroy the place."

"Nah, it'll never happen." Makarov said drunkenly. At that moment, a Pidgey flew in and delivered a letter to him. He read it.

'Dear Master,

I wanted to inform you that Erza, Natsu, and Gray have formed a team! It's probably Fairy Tail's strongest team ever! I got so excited, I just had to send you a letter! Sorry to interrupt the meeting!

From, Mira.'

It was at that time that Makarov fainted.

...

"You imbecile!" Erigor roared as his Tropius struck Kageyama. "You just let a Fairy Tail member catch sight of Lullaby?! And then let him LIVE?! If it wasn't for our back up plan, I would kill you here... Yes, make sure we succeed in this, Kageyama." Kageyama stared, shivering in pain, as his guildmates headed toward the next destination...

...

"Do you really think they're here?" Lucy asked as the group flew over the next town.

"Let's hope so." Erza replied. "Look! Something's going on in the train station!" Sure enough, a crowd had gathered. Happy landed.

"What's going?!" Erza began heatedly interrogating the people in charge of the train station, while the others looked on with sweatdrops.

"It appears that Eisenwald has taken over this train station. Let's go in and defeat them!" Erza ordered. The Fairy Tail team entered the station, and after some walking found themselves in a huge room filled with the entire Eisenwald guild.

"There's really... A whole dark guild here!" Lucy exclaimed in shock and horror.

"Stop this now! Hand over Lullaby!" Erza shouted.

"No... No, we will not, Fairy Tail flies. We're going to play Lullaby on the loud speaker Im this train station. If we're lucky, that'll kill everyone in this town." Erigor laughed. He was flying on his Tropius.

"What does killing all these people even do?!" Lucy shouted.

"It makes them pay for letting others restrict our freedom and arrest our guildmaster... And vengeance is everything! You won't even live to hear Lullaby! Kill them all, men!" Erigor flew further into the station as his guild sent out their pokemon.

"The pink haired one is mine... He'll pay for humiliating me!" Kageyama set down Cofagrigus, who unleashed a shadow sneak. Lucy's eyes widened as the attack headed straight for them.

"Overheat!" Natsu suddenly commanded. Happy's searing flames quickly destroyed the shadows. "I won't lose to you, stupid shadow guy!"

"Natsu... We don't have time for this. We can't let Erigor play Lullaby! You and Gray go after Erigor and defeat him! Lucy, Happy, and I will take care of these weaklings." Erza commanded.

Natsu and Gray glared at each other before following after Erigor.

"Tch... They're getting away! I, Rayule, will defeat them!" Rayule's Carnivine used vine whip to swing him after them.

"Don't leave me out! I need revenge!" Kageyama picked up Cofagrigus like a suitcase and ran with Rayule.

"They're getting away!" Lucy gasped.

"We'll defeat them after we defeat all of these guys." Erza said. She unsheathed her Honedge. "Now we fight. Let's go, Lucy." As the trainers and pokemon charged at her, she readied her Honedge. "Slash!" She expertly cut down the opponents using Honedge like a sword. "Requip!" Honedge glowed for a moment before disappearing and being replaced by a Aegislash.

"Is that her magic?!" Lucy gasped in shock. "It's like she's a human PC system!"

"Sacred sword!" Erza quickly cut through another group using Aegislash. "Requip!" A Doublade appeared, one half in each hand. "Slash!" Erza began cutting down more pokemon.

"This is amazing..." Lucy gasped. "I better help out... Kingler!" Kingler was sent out quickly. "I use the gate of the giant crab! Continuous crabhammer!" Kingler's claws glowed, and it unleashed a continuous stream of attacks to quickly defeat a number of Eisenwald trainers.

"Good job, Lucy." Erza complimented. "There are still a lot to go, unfortunately. It seems I'll have to step up my game." Her whole body glowed before she was suddenly in a strange metal winged dress. An Aegislash was in one of her hands and a strange net was in the other. "Heaven's wheel armor!" Erza swung the net forward, and a huge amount of pokeballs were thrown around the room. They all popped open, revealing a huge amount of Honedge, Doublade, and Aegislash.

"Trainers are only supposed to have six pokemon on them at once! This is insane!" Lucy gasped.

"Attack!" Erza ordered. In an instant, the pokemon had slammed down using numerous cutting attacks, and defeated every trainer present except for two. One of them stood quivering, while the other prepared to attack.

"Let's destroy 'em, Karacka!"

"Byard! Don't do it! That's Titania Erza!" The first trainer didn't listen and charged forward with his Meowth.

"Sacred sword!" In one swipe, both trainer and pokemon were cut down.

"N- no... That's... AH!" Karacka ran out of the room quickly.

"Defeat him, Lucy and Happy. You cannot fail." Erza ordered. Lucy and Happy quickly took off after Lucy retrieved Kingler. Erza requipped back into her normal armor and walked out of the station. She pulled out a megaphone. "Attention everyone! Evacuate the town immediately! Everyone near this station will die if they don't run as far away as possible!" The crowd grew hysterical and fled. Erza sighed in relief. Then she heard something and whipped around. Behind her, the entire station was surrounded by a tornado-like barrier. "Wh- what is this?!" She exclaimed, unaware that Erigor had flown down behind her. One strike from Tropius sent her sprawling through the barrier.

"What do you think of my little trap, fairy? None of you fairies will get out!" Erigor cackled smugly. Erza's eyes flashed with rage, and she drew Honedge and charged the barrier. She was slammed back, and to her horror, Honedge disappeared into thin air. Erigor cackled as Tropius flew away.

...

Natsu and Gray had reached a fork in the path.

"I guess we split up." Gray said.

"Guess so." Natsu replied.

"We'll definitely beat Erigor, so..." Gray muttered something after that. "...later!" He dashed off. Natsu blinked and ran the other way.

"So Erigor is going to use the PA system to broadcast the song, huh?" Gray muttered to himself. He looked up. "Here's the control room for the PA system... He's in here!" Gray slammed the door open. "It's... Empty?"

"Found you!" A vine whip suddenly struck Gray and Eevee in the back, throwing them into the room. Rayule and his Carnivine entered, with Carnivine immediately continuing his attack on Gray and Eevee. Eevee tried to dart forward and strike Carnivine, but the Venus flytrap-like Pokemon was too fast. Gray instantly called out Weavile.

"Ice beam!" Weavile did as it was ordered, shooting a blue beam at Carnivine.

"You're too slow to hit Carnivine!" Rayule snickered as Carnivine used its vines to pull away. However, the moment the beam hit the floor, it solidified into a huge spike of ice that slammed both Carnivine and Rayule into the air.

"Blizzard!" Gray ordered. Weavile finished the two off in midair with the attack. Carnivine crashed to the ground, frozen while Rayule fell down in front of Gray and Weavile. Weavile grabbed Rayule by the collar and slammed him into the wall, holding its sharp collar against his throat. "Tell me what you plan to do with Lullaby." Gray said coldly.

"Hmph..." A bead of sweat fell down Rayule's face. "Erigor's going to use Lullaby on the guildmasters as revenge for outcasting Eisenwald. You guys can't do anything, though. He already trapped everyone inside his barrier!"

Gray scowled as Weavile slammed Rayule against the wall harder. "How do I break the barrier?"

"I guess I can tell you that Kageyama can break it..." Rayule suddenly grinned as Carnivine stood up behind Gray and Weavile. "It doesn't matter, since I'll be killing you here!" Carnivine used vine whip to tightly bind Gray and Weavile.

"Tch..." The Fairy Tail trainer and his Pokemon struggled, but to no avail.

"Ever heard of the move razor leaf? It's a deadly move that the magic council has banned the use of on trainers. Wanna find out how it feels?" Rayule asked coldly.

Gray grimaced. "Eevee!"

"What?!" Rayule and Carnivine whipped around to find the little fox behind them.

"Take them down with ice beam!" Gray shouted.

"You're bluffing! An Eevee can't learn-" Rayule was cut off as Eevee unleashed the attack, freezing Rayule and Carnivine solid. Gray and Weavile landed on the ground.

"Trying to hurt Fairy Tail's guildmaster... You don't know what you've done." Gray said darkly. "What Fairy Tail can do... Is much scarier than what you find in a dark guild. Let's stop Erigor, Eevee." He walked out of the room after returning Weavile.

...

Natsu stopped short as Kageyama stepped in his path.

"Heh. I'll enjoy taking you down, Fairy..." Kageyama smirked, setting down Cofagrigus.

Natsu glared.

"I'll take you down for sure. You're in my way."

END, Chapter 5.
