Episode 6: “Fairies in the Wind”

"Here in the town of Clover, you'll find the building where the Guild Master conferences are held."

The Guild Masters are in a large room with many tables that they're conversing around. There are no chairs in sight to sit on, and because of this, Makarov sits on one of the tables, a chicken drumstick in one hand and a beer in his other. He's talking to two other guild masters; Bob of Blue Pegasus, who's wearing a dark pink dress with wings on the straps, and notably bald. There's another unnamed guild master with a wizard hat and clothes who's beside Bob facing Makarov.

“I'm jealous, Makky. Your wizards are all full of life and they're such cutie pies. Yeah” Bob turns towards Makarov.

"This is Bob. Master of the Blue Pegasus guild." The Narrator introduces.

“I hear you've got a girl that gave some big shot quite the spanking.” Bob says to Makarov in a teasing tone.

"Oh, you must be talking about Lucy. yeah she's our newest recruit, and she's got a body that won't quit." Makarov says, quite pervertedly. (Might I add)

"Oh, so naughty!" Bob turns from the other, hands on his face in faux embarrassment.

"I wouldn't be joking if I were you, Makarov." Another guild master says with his back to the group before he turns to reveal himself. He's angrily staring at his food on a stick, which he shakes at Makarov.

"Huh?" The aforementioned Guild Master acknowledges.

"This wizard is named Goldmine. He's the guild master of the Quatro Cerberus guild." The Narrator introduces.

"Your wizards may be spirited, but you've gotta admit they go overboard sometimes. Some of the council members are worried that Fairy Tail's going to end up destroying an entire city one of these days. Can't say that I blame 'em." Goldmine lectures Makarov although agrees with the Council's sentiment about Fairy Tail.

"Oh, let those blowhards worry. What do I care? They're just jealous my wizards are hot." The Light mage boasts his guild.

"Oh, Makky, you shouldn't talk about your little wizards that way. You're such a scoundrel." Bob teasingly reprimands him, right hand on his cheek and the other waving up and down at Makarov.

"Master Makarov, Master Makarov! I have a letter from Miss Mirajane, sir." A small blue bird with a wizard hat delivers a letter to Makarov. The bird drops the letter in the guild master’s hand and flys away.

"Oh, thanks a lot." Makarov thanks the little bird.

"No Problem." The little blue bird says before flying away. Makarov summons a teal magic circle over the letter and a projection of Mirajane appears.

"Hi, Master. I'm glad you made it to the conference safe and sound." The holo-Mira says relieved, looking up at Makarov, her hands clasped in front of her dress.

Makarov stands from his seated position and shows off the projection to the other guild masters.

"See? This honey's our poster girl, Mirajane. Grab some eye candy, boys." Makarov

The Guild Masters around the table chatter excitedly while some whistle at the sight.

"Ooh-la-la." Bob comments.

"That's Mirajane? I haven't seen her in a while. She sure has matured." (eugh, gross.) Goldmine offhandedly says.

"Oh, Master, you are not gonna believe what happened. It may be the greatest thing in the history of Fairy Tail." Mira announces to the Guild Master with her hands clasped by her face before spreading her arms wide.

"Really?" Intrigued, Makarov replies.

"Erza, Natsu, Gray, and Thea have all teamed up together. An amazing combination, huh? In fact, I think they may have formed the strongest team Fairy Tail's ever seen. Sorry to bother you, but I just had to send a quick note to tell you the exciting news." Mira tells him, oblivious to the disaster the four of them will create in their wake.

"Not those four…" He mutters in complete devastation.

"See you soon, Master." Mira bids farewell to Makarov, unaware of the chaos the four aforementioned mages will cause, being the reason for the Fairy Tail Guild Master's reaction.

"What's wrong, Makky?" The Blue Pegasus Guild Master inquires in curiosity.

"I guess the council has a good reason to be worried, right?" Goldmine reasons.

Makarov falls back in shock. 'I can't believe this is happening. Those four really could destroy an entire city. The conference ends today, so I can be back at Fairy Tail by tomorrow afternoon. I just hope nothing crazy happens between now and then. Oh, please, let nothing happen.' He thinks to himself in devastation.

~ Location Change ~

"Some guy with a scythe and a bunch of his lackeys took over the train." Civilian #1 says.

"I think I know who they are. They're the dark guild punks who've been hanging around town the past few weeks." Civilian #2 states

Erza parks the magic-mobile at the edge of a cliff. At the bottom of the cliff is Kunugi Station, where a crowd has amassed. There are many guards that are shoulder to shoulder blocking the entrance to the station. Lucy, Happy, and Lumi are peering out the window of the magic-mobile down below at the commotion, while Erza observes from the driver's seat.

"I can understand cars and boats, but why'd they want to hijack a train?" Lucy inquires to the others.

"It doesn't really seem like it'd be a very good choice for getaways, since it can only follow the tracks it's on." Happy replies to the blonde.

"Yes, that's true, but they are quite fast." Erza tells the blue cat.

Natsu and Thea are on the floor of the cabin, the former resting his head on his arms as they rest on the seat of the car, while the latter's leaning against Natsu with her back to the vehicle seat, her head tilted down. Both mages are still feeling quite queasy, not only the ride, but also Erza's erratic driving. To the fire mages right is Gray, who's in his underwear once again.

"Then I guess it's up to us to figure out where those Eisenwald guys are going in such a big hurry and why." Gray casually expresses to the others.

"YOU'RE NAKED, GRAY!" The Celestial mage exclaims at him in shock.

"Am I?" The Ice-Make mage asks, oblivious to his lack of clothes.

"The military's already been called to action, so it should only be a matter of time before someone catches them." Lucy redirects her attention from the ice mage to the situation at hand.

“I hope that's the case, Lucy.” The Requip mage drives the magic-mobile away, following the cliff in the direction the train was supposed to go.

~ Location Change ~

Erigor slashes his scythe at the man in the white jacket, tearing through the seat behind him. This act shocks the other dark guild members. The man in the white jacket is on his knees before Erigor.

"Let me get this straight. You allowed a Fairy Tail fly to see the Lullaby flute and then let him get away? Is that true?!" Erigor demands from the man cowering on the floor.

"But it's not like he knows anything about our plans, sir. And even if he did, there's no way he and his stupid guild would be able to stop us, right?" The man in the white jacket explains to the man wielding a scythe, on his knees as he pleads with him.

Erigor slams the blade of his scythe into the car floor, causing the man in the white jacket to crawl back a few metres.

"We can't afford to take any chances. Fortunately, we have a strategy in place." The white haired man states as he removes his balde from the floor.

"Right. You mean the thing at Oshibana Station." The man in the white jacket reveals.

"We can't have flies buzzing around where they're not wanted." Erigor commands as he rests his scythe on across his right shoulder as he talks to the dark guild members. He's holding the cursed flute in his hand. The man in the white jacket get's up from the floor. "It will be up to you men to swat them away."

"Yes, sir!" The dark mages agree in unison.

~ Location Change ~

Erza's driving recklessly in Oshibana city down the narrow streets. She hand brakes and turns to go down a different street as pedestrians panic and flee from the chaotic driver. Gray's still insistent on hanging on to the roof of the magic-mobile.

"Stop, Erza! You're going way too fast! You're gonna overload the S.E. plug." Gray chastises the red haired woman for her driving and overexertion of her magic.

"There's no telling how many innocent people could die if Lullaby's song is played. I can't slow down. We have to top Eisenwald before it's too late." The Requip mage states in a commanding tone.

"But at this rate, you're gonna use up all your magic before we even start fighting." Gray says, concern for his friend lacing his words as he holds on for dear life to the roof of the vehicle.

"Well then, I'll just have to rely on hand-to-hand combat." She smirks as she says this. Besides, I've got you, Natsu, and Thea as backup."

In the cab of the magic-mobile sits Lucy, Happy, Natsu, Thea, and Lumi.

"I feel like there was something important I was supposed to tell you, Lucy." Happy says offhandedly as he, Lumi, and Lucy are sitting on the seats while Natsu and Thea are sprawled on the floor, feeling the effects of their motion sickness.

"Oh really? What was it?" Lucy inquires to the blue cat.

"I don't remember. It was just something about something I was supposed to tell you." He closes his eyes and puts a paw to his face in thought. "Um, you're–" Happy's cut off by Natsu.

"Totally sick for real." The Fire Dragon Slayer groans out.

"That's it!" Happy suddenly shouts in excitement.

"Are you kidding me?!" Lucy shouts at the blue cat as the fire mage drags himself to the window of the vehicle and lets his torso fall out of it, letting himself go limp.

"Careful, Natsu! You're gonna fall out!" The Celestial mage shouts at him in concern.

"That's what I'm aiming for…" He retorts back at the blonde.

"Um, so if it wasn't "Lucy's totally sick," then what the heck was it? Something weird like that. Lucy's… weird? Hungry? Fishy? I like fish. Wait. weird, weird, weird…" As Happy prattles on, Lucy's grabbing Natsu and trying to pull him back inside the car.

"Why are you saying I'm weird?" She comments in a stern tone.

"What's that up ahead?" Erza takes notice of the crowd of people gathered around the station.

The group arrives at Oshibans Station, where another crowd has amassed around the entrance, not being permitted inside. There's a column of smoke rising from the building.

"Please stand back. The station is currently closed due to a train derailment." A station worker announces to the crowd

"A derailment? Are you serious?" Random person #1 asks in a demanding tone.

"Well, I heard the station's been taken over by a group of thugs." Random person #2 states.

"We ask that you please stand back." The station worker commands the crowd.

“Excuse me, what's going on?” Erza puts her hand on the shoulder of the train station worker's shoulder.

"Why would I tell you, lady?" Erza knocks the station worker out and moves to the next one.

"What's going on?!" Erza punches this one before he says anything. As Lucy's observing this cycle, Natsu has his right arm over her shoulder, hanging on to her for support.

"Seems like her questioning method's a little counterproductive." Lucy comments, mostly to herself.

"Erza's got her own way of getting things done." Gray states as Thea's in a similar state as the fire mage on the other ice mages back.

"Where are your clothes?!" Lucy shouts at him.

“The Eisenwald guild's inside. Let's go.” Erza has her hand on her hip in a commanding stance. There are many knocked out station workers around her as the others look at her.

"Right." The Ice-Make mage says in agreement.

"So I gotta drag this one around?" Lucy complains to the Requip mage.

"Sorry." Natsu noncommittally apologizes to her.

~ Short Time Skip ~

The group is now inside the station running down a long hallway with pillars lining the walls on either side. Erza's leading the charge, with Gray running on her right, carrying Thea on his back as she's unable to run at the moment, and Happy and Lumi flying beside him. Lucy's running to Erza’s left, still supporting Natsu as she follows.

"A small army unit stormed in earlier, but they've yet to return. I'm guessing they've been caught in battle with the Eisenwald forces." Erza states as Lucy makes a scared face at the information the Requip mage provides.

They come to a staircase and see many unconscious soldiers that lead up the stairs onto the next level, the sight causes Lucy to gasp out loud. As they continue, more bodies are found.

"They've been completely wiped out." Happy exclaims out, worried.

"They were up against an entire guild of wizards. A small contingent like this would never stand a chance against such a powerful group." Erza informs the others.

The group enters an area that has a balcony that goes around the sides of the room. Before them is Erigor and the many other dark guild members.

"Welcome. Step into our parlor, Fairy Tail flies." Erigor demands to the mages as he sits on top of a train car

"Whoa. There's so many of them." The Celestial mage is unsettled by the sheer number of foes in front of them. Natsu's still passed out, but this time he rests on Lucy's back, while Gray has a bored look on his face, with Thea still on his own back, Erza has her right hand on her hip with a serious expression on her face.

"You fiend. I take it you're Erigor?" Erza commands to the dark mage as he just chuckles at the tone.

“Come on, Natsu, we need your help.” Lucy shakes Natsu on the floor, trying to wake him.

"Good luck. Between the train, magic-mobile, and your shaking, it's a motion sickness triple combo." Happy tells the blonde in a semi-serious, semi-joking way.

"I'm not a vehicle!" Lucy retaliates while pointing to herself in exasperation.

"Hey, you. It's your fault I got in trouble with Erigor. Get up." The man in the white jacket seethes out to Natsu in anger.

"Huh? I know that voice." Natus mutters to himself as he opens his eyes, suddenly feeling better. Coincidentally, Thea gets over her motion sickness soon after Natsu.

"We're not threatened by any of you. Tell me what you're planning to do with Lullaby." Erza demands to the wind mage.

"Oh, you haven't heard yet?" Erigor chuckles as he flies and hovers to the centre of the room. "What do all train stations have?"

"He flew!" Lucy exclaims in surprise.

"It's wind magic." The blue cat offhandedly explains to her.

Erigor lands on a speaker, crouching down on it, while resting his scythe on his right shoulder.

"You plan to broadcast the Lullaby's song?" Erza questions in a panicked tone causing Erigor to laugh.

"Thousands of nosy onlookers have flocked to this station to get a glimpse of the action. Who knows, if I raise the volume enough, I may be able to extinguish the entire city with my melody of death." Erigor monologues to the Fairy Tail mages.

"What reason do you have to commit such a heinous crime against the innocent people of this town?!" Erza shoults in an exasperated tone at the wind mage.

"This is a cleansing of all the fools out there who fail to appreciate the rights they hold so dear. Who remain willfully ignorant to the plight of those who've had their rights stripped away. They've committed the sin of turning a blind eye to the world's injustice. Therefore, the reaper has come to punish them." Erigor continues his monologue.

"But killing them isn't gonna help you get your rights back. It's only gonna make it worse. That's the whole reason you were kicked out of the Wizard League in the first place." Lucy frustratedly tells him, placing her fists on her hips to emphasise her words.

"At this point we've given up trying to regain our rights. We want power. Then we will be able to wash away the sins of our past and take control of what happens in the future."

"You guys are completely insane!" The Celestial mage shouts at him in anger.

“We’re rolling in a new age of darkness. Course, by the time it gets here, you flies will be long gone.” The man in the white jacket kneels on one knee and puts his palm on the floor and summons three shadows that move rapidly toward the group. They nearly strike Lucy but Natsu leaps up and bats them away with his fire magic.

"You again?" The man in the white jacket acknowledges the fire mage.

“Eisenwald dude. I knew I recognized that voice.” Natsu flexes his arm as he stares at the dark guild members in front of him.

"You're back to normal!" Lucy raises her fists in excitement at the fire mages words.

"Oh, wow. Looks like we've got ourselves a party here, huh?" Natsu states, thrilled at the prospect of fighting.

"No, Natsu, these are the guys we have to fight!" Lucy tells him, as if not understanding what he means.

"Like he said, it's a party." As Thea says this, getting ready to fight as well, Natsu punches his fist into his palm and has a very intimidating look on his face.

~ Very Short Time Skip ~

'The Fairy Tail flies flew right into my trap. Everything is going exactly as planned. But I will not rest until they have heard Lullaby's Melody of Death. Then we'll finally have revenge against those who wronged us.' Erigor internally monologues

"This is the strongest team Fairy Tail has to offer. You'd better be ready!" Lucy points to Erigor, a serious look on her face as she says this.

"I leave them to you. Show them the terror of the dark guild Eisenwald." Erigor floats up, before vanishing, seemingly into thin air.

"HE DISAPPEARED!" Lucy and Happy are shocked by this.

"Natsu and Gray, go. I need you to stop him." Erza orders to the fire and ice mages.

"Hmm?" The two look at each other in contempt at the command the Requip mage gives.

"If the two of you work together, not even Erigor the Reaper can defeat you. I'm leaving him in your hands." She explains to the two causing the ice and fire mage clash heads as they growl at each other as they do so. "What did I say?!" She shouts at the two.

"AYE!" Scared of the repercussions of failing to comply, Natsu and Gray go off after Erigor, leaving the others with the large group of dark wizards.

"They ran off?!" Dark mage #1 shouts.

"They're going after Erigor." Dark mage #2 says.

"I got it." One dark wizard uses ribbon magic (??) uses it to pull himself up onto the balcony. "I, the great Rayule, will take them down."

“I'm coming with you. That pink haired dimwit is gonna pay.” The man in the white jacket kneels on one knee and puts his palm on the ground, summoning a large yellow magic circle around him. A shadow engulfs him as he sinks into the ground.

"We'll catch up with them once we've finished off the rest of the men here, okay?" Erza says in a confident tone.

"Three girls against an entire magical guild?" Lucy, worried for herself, Erza, and Thea, puts a fist up to her face in concern.

"Mama always told me not to hit girls, but I can make an exception." Dark mage #3 threatens.

"I'm sorry ladies. You're not gonna be as cute when we're done with ya." Dark mage #4 chuckles to himself.

The group of dark wizards taunts the remaining Fairy Tail wizards.

"But without my stunning beauty I'll be totally helpless." Lucy puts her left hand to her face and right arm under her chest in a seductive manner.

"This is no time for daydreaming, Lucy." Happy floats up to the blonde as he says this in a worried tone.

"Lucy, can you please focus?" Thea sweatdrops, furrowing her brows at Lucy's behaviour, raising her fists as magic emanates off of them, as she gets into a fighting stance, ready to fend off the dark mages.

“Let’s do this.” Erza stretches her hand out and opens her fist and summons a red magic circle. A sword spins out of said circle into the air and into her grasp.

"It came out of thin air! A magic sword!" Lucy gasps in astonishment at the sight.

"If you insult the Fairy Tail guild again in my presence, I swear none of you will live to see tomorrow." The Requip mage grasps the summoned sword, holding the hilt out in front of her pointing the blade diagonally down across herself.

"We're not scared of you! We got tons of magic swordsmen in Eisenwald!" The dark wizards charge with their weapons.

Erza shouts as she charges at the dark wizards, swinging her sword about, injuring many of the dark wizards and breaking their weapons.

"I'LL SHOW YOU! AHH!" A man shouts as three mages, including himself, shoots a beam of magic towards the Requip mage, hitting the ground in front of her as she jumps up towards the dark mages. As she's in the air, she presents the sword in front of her and summons two red magic circles on either side of the sword. The weapon vanishes and turns into a long spear.

"Now it's a spear!" Lucy is shocked at this revelation.

Erza continues to decimate the dark wizards as Lucy and Thea watch.

"It turned into twin swords." The green haired, frog-looking man says in dismay.

"I've never seen anybody be able to Requip as fast as this chick." Hair gel McGee exclaims.

"What's 'Requip'?" Lucy struggles to put two and two together.

"Magic weaponry isn't that much different from your celestial magic, Lucy." Happy readily explains to Lucy.

"The user can summon different weapons they keep stored in another dimension. And when the user switches between weapons, it's called 'Requipping.'" Thea continues Happy's explanation to the blonde.

"Wow, that's incredible!" Lucy's impressed by Erza's abilities.

"You ain't seen nothing yet. Erza's just getting warmed up." Happy states ominously.

"Erza?" The frog-looking mage asks nervously.

"It's time for me to kick butt too." Lucy decides to join in the fight after all the dark wizards are heavily injured.

"Why do you have to go and try to steal the spotlight from her?" Happy says in dismay.

"OPEN, GATE OF THE GIANT CRAB! CANCER!" Lucy swings her right hand carrying the key across horizontally then up over her head. She then brings her arm vertically down, completing the summon. Cancer arrives while humming a tune as his name can be heard as well.

"You need me to fight these dudes, baby?" Cancer inquires.

"Yeah, take them out with style." Lucy says as she rests her elbow on her wrist with her chin resting on her palm.

"I ain't never seen such a stupid haircut." Dark mage #1 says.

"You look like an idiot!" Dark mage #2 exclaims.

"Whoa, baby." Cancer seems offended at the comment as he suddenly attacks.

"My weapon!"

"What happened to my hair?!"

"We're all–"

"Bald?" Lucy's confused that the celestial spirit that's known for cutting people’s hair made the dark wizards bald.

"So cruel!" All say in dismay.

"Like your new style, baby?" Cancer rhetorically asks.

"That was impressive." Erza turns to Lucy and Cancer, holding a giant axe.

"Oh, thanks! But it was no big deal. All right! I totally scored points with her!" Lucy turns her torso to face Erza with her hand on the back of her head.

"That's what you were going for?!" Happy's not amused at the sentiment.

"However, this crab spirit of yours, the way he calls you baby, I find it rather insulting." Erza says with disdain.

"I know right? Totally demeaning." Thea teasingly chimes in, a mischievous smile on her face, as she brings a hand to her mouth as if to cover her mouth.

"Points un-scored." Lucy says in defeat as she puts her hands to her face.

"Whoa. B– Ma'am." Cancer corrects himself as he stands next to the blonde.

~ Short Time Skip ~

"Still so many. I thought we took care of most of them. Annoying, but I'll wipe them out." Erza is facing many dark wizards. A red magic circle appears below her and a bright light emanates from it. Her armour glows and disappears. She is t-posing as a bright light engulfs her in what appears to be space with a galaxy in the background. She spins around, still in a t-pose position. She raises her arms above her head and then brings them back to a t-pose

"Whoa! Her armor's disappearing!" Many of the dark mages cheer and applaud the scene before them.

"Most magic swordsmen only have the ability to swap weapons. But Erza's able to swap her armor for wizarding armor that enhances her abilities. It's a talent that only she possesses." Happy provides exposition to Lucy.

"That's what makes her magic so special. A technique called…'The Knight'!" Thea finishes his explanation for him.

"Oh, wow!" Lucy's in awe at the scene before her.

"WHOA!"

"Now, DANCE, MY SWORDS!" Erza commands as she rises in the air, holding two swords out at her sides. Many swords encircle the Requip mage, pointing away from her. The swords start spinning in the vertical circle around Erza.

"I knew it! It has to be her!" The frog-looking man says, scared at the sight before him.

"CIRCLE SWORD!" Erza shouts as she raises her swords up above her head and then brings them down, causing the blades to attack the dark wizards.

"Whoa. she took most of them down with a single swipe." Lucy says in horrified astonishment.

"Aye!" Happy says his catchphrase.

"All right! You're dealing with me now!" Hair gel McGee declares as he charges at Erza with his fist glowing.

"Don't do it, Byard! Do you have any idea who that woman is?!" Karacka, also known as the frog-looking man, shouts at him.

Erza swipes her sword across Byard and he falls to the ground on his face.

"She's Queen of the Fairies, Titania Erza!" Karacka informs out loud.

Erza requips back into her normal attire.

"Hell yeah, Erza! Way to go with those guys!" Thea cheers on the Requip mage as she disengages her magic, one of her arms raising above her head, with Lumi silently cheering her on as well from the ice mage's shoulder.

"Oh, man! I think I'm in love!" Lucy clasps her hands together as she stares in awe at Erza.

"Forget this! I'm out of here!" Karacka Looney-Tune-runs out of the room.

"I would imagine he's going to look for Erigor. You should follow him." Erza turns from where Karacka exits to address Lucy.

"Who me?" Lucy lowers her arms in uncertainty.

"C'mon Lucy, don't sell yourself short." Thea makes an attempt to encourage the blonde, Lumi nodding her head in agreement, before Erza cuts in, causing Thea, Lucy, and Lumi to jolt.

"Just do it!" Erza glares at the Celestial mage as she makes the demand.

"WHATEVER YOU SAY! I don't want to make you angry!" Lucy, also Looney-Tune-runs out of the room, leaving Erza and Thea surrounded by unconscious dark wizards.

Erza sighs out as soon as Lucy's out of earshot, before stumbling a bit catching Thea's attention as the ice mage steadies the Requip mage, Lumi leaving her shoulder to float beside the two mages.

"Whoa, careful Erza." The Ice Dragon Slayer warns the Requip mage in concern.

"Gray was right. I overdid it on the Magic-Mobile." Erza says to Thea, before muttering to herself. "Please, boys. Please don't fail me." She kneels on the ground in exhaustion.

~ With Natsu and Gray ~

Natsu and Gray run down a hall, bickering with each other.

"I can't believe she's making us work together. What was she thinking?" Gray complains to himself.

"Obviously she wasn't thinking. Everybody knows fire and ice don't mix. Well, besides me and Thea." Natsu butts in, also upset at the situation at hand.

"Yeah, and why does she always have to be so fucking bossy?" The ice mage glares at Natsu.

"She should ask us to do stuff instead of ordering us around!" The fire mage grumbles out as he glares back.

"I don't need your help! I can handle Erigor all by myself!" They butt heads with each other. "Are you copying me?! Huh?" The two wizards have come to the end of the hallway, which now leads in two directions; one way branches off to the right, the other branches off to left.

"Which way do we go?" Natsu asks.

"I guess we'll have to split up." Gray turns his back to Natsu, as the fire mage faces away from the ice mage as well. "Natsu, we're up against an evil freak who's getting ready to unleash a deadly spell. If you find him, give him a thrashing."

"You don't have to worry about that. I've got a bone to pick with that jerk for messing with Fairy Tail. I'm gonna burn him up to a crisp." Natsu turns to the ice mage and raises his fist with a smile. Gray also has his fist raised with a smile. They both quickly turn away from each other and cross their arms and frown.

"Don't die on me." Gray whispers to himself with his back turned to the fire mage.

"Huh?" Natsu looks back at the ice mage in surprise.

"Nothing. Later, loser." Gray promptly leaves, running down his chosen hallway, leaving Natsu behind.

~ With Gray ~

"So that's it. Erigor's gonna play the Lullaby through the speaker system." Gray stops and looks at a loudspeaker in realization.

Gray kicks open a door to the broadcasting room.

"There's nobody here." Gray walks into the room, looking around. "Maybe I was wrong about him broadcasting it over the station's P.A."

Rayule's hanging from the ceiling behind Gray. He summons ribbons and hurls them at the ice mage, before Gray dodges the attack.

"That was a pretty good guess, pal. But our plan isn't as obvious as you might think."

"So tell me what the plan is, and you won't get hurt." Gray demands from the man.

~ With Erza, Thea, and Lumi ~

Erza and Thea, with Lumi standing beside her on the railing, stand on the balcony of the train station overlooking the city.

"Someone's on the balcony!" Someone in the crowd shouts out.

"What's going on?!"

"IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIVES, THEN YOU WILL LEAVE THIS PLACE AT ONCE! THIS STATION'S BEEN TAKEN OVER BY EVIL WIZARDS! THEY ARE THREATENING TO BROADCAST A DEADLY SPELL OVER THE LOUDSPEAKERS THAT WOULD KILL EVERYONE HERE!" The crowd murmurs with each other in panic at her announcement. "I BEG YOU, RUN AS FAR AS YOU CAN!" Erza speaks into a megaphone.

"Hey, Ladies! Why would you make everyone panic like that?!" The station worker demands from the mages.

"I would rather that than watch all of these people die. In fact you gentlemen need to evacuate as well." Erza turns to the station workers who have approached the two.

"Now that I've cleared everyone from the train station, I wonder what Erigor's next move will be." Erza states as she, Thea, and Lumi stare out at where the crowd of people ran. As Erza says this, it starts becoming increasingly windy out of nowhere behind them, causing the three to look back to the station.

"Erza, it's some kind of wind barrier!" Thea shouts out in shock.

~ With Gray ~

"There's no escape…" Rayule declares as he whips his ribbons in Gray’s direction. "FROM MY URUMI!"

"ICE-MAKE SHIELD!" Gray puts his fist vertically on his palm and raises his arms perpendicular to the floor, summoning a blue magic circle in doing so. The ice mage raises his arms up and diagonally as he creates an ice shield.

"This punk uses ice magic?!"

"ICE-MAKE KNUCKLES" Gray once again has his fist on the palm of his hand, this time his hands are to his side. A small blue light emanates from his hands as he summons giant ice fists at Rayule.

"AHH!"

"This is your last chance to tell me what you're planning. You're not gonna broadcast the Lullaby's song over the P.A. system?" Gray stands before Rayule, looking down at him through a hole in the wall he just made.

"Erigor's magic sealing barrier should be activated by now." Rayule struggles to his feet as he says this.

"Erigor's what?" Gray asks in confusion.

"He's created a wind barrier that will keep you insects from escaping."

~ With Erza, Thea, and Lumi ~

"I've always wanted the opportunity to fight the Queen of the Fairies. But unfortunately, I don't have time to play with you right now." Erigor makes a purple magic circle that pushes Erza, Thea, and Lumi back and through the barrier.

"ERIGOR!" The Requip mage makes an attempt to break through before being blasted back with magic from the barrier.

"ERZA!" Thea screams out and makes an attempt to catch the red haired mage.

"It's useless. There's no way you'll ever be able to break through my magic sealing barrier. You see, it's one way only. If you try to escape, the wind will tear you apart." Erigor monologues to the two mages.

"What is the meaning of this, you scoundrel?!" Erza holds her side as she shouts at the dark wizard in anger.

"We've wasted enough of our time on you Fairy Tail flies. Now if you'll excuse me…" Erigor flies away from the station.

"COME BACK HERE! CURSE YOU ERIGOR! I WILL FIND A WAY TO STOP YOU!" She shouts to the dark mage. "So he wasn't targeting the station after all. Just what is he planning?" Thea and Lumi look to her in concern and for direction for what they should do now.

~ With Gray ~

"Why don't I get straight to the point here, buddy? Tell me what the plan is, or else." Gray grabs Rayule’s collar in anger.

"We knew you pests would cause problems, so we lured you here and trapped you. The only reason we took over this station is to block traffic to the final stop. We didn't want any trains getting into Clover Station." Rayule explains to the ice mage.

"Yeah, why?"

"'Cause that's where it's going down. Clover's just beyond a giant canyon, and this train line is the only way in and out of town, unless you're able to fly like Erigor." Rayule continues.

"So the Lullaby's in Clover?" Gray deducts.

"You know what else is there right now? Think hard and you'll get it." Rayule summons ribbons from his hands and strikes Gray with them. The ice mage quickly jumps back and blocks the attack. "GOTCHA"

'Clover, that's where the conference is being held. So this was their plan all along. They're targeting the Guild Masters.' Gray thinks to himself.

Rayule laughs out loud. "You finally figured it out, huh? Well, it's too late to stop us now!"

"You Eisenwald thugs must be pretty brave taking on such a powerful group of wizards."

"Those ignorant old fogies won't even know what hit 'em once Lullaby's song starts playing. There's no way Erigor's plan will fail." Rayule wraps Gray in his ribbons. "You and your little Fairy friends are stuck in this station, so there's nothing you can do about it. Soon we'll have our revenge on everyone who tried to keep us down. When we're done, they'll be completely wiped out."

"That's not gonna happen. Now get this straight. When you mess with the Guild Masters, then you mess with all of us. They may be old fogies, but they're the closest thing we have to parents." Gray freezes the ribbons and shatters them, breaking free. He then freezes Rayule’s legs to the ground and walks toward him and puts his hand on his face.

~ With Natsu ~

"JUST COME OUT AND FIGHT ALREADY!" Natsu runs through the halls in search of Erigor, unbeknownst to him that the wind mage isn't at the station anymore.

A shadow is following close behind the Fire Dragon Slayer.

"Looks like it's about time for me to strike." Kageyama’s head peaks out of the ground looking up at Natsu.

~ With Erza, Thea, and Lumi ~

"We will stop you." Erza declares, as she looks in the direction Erigor once was.

~ With Lucy and Happy ~

Lucy's running down a hallway with Happy flying behind her in search for Karacka.

"Now where did that fat one run off to?" The Celestial mage questions annoyedly to herself.

"You better find him or else Erza's gonna strangle you." Happy teases her causing Lucy to yelp out in fear.

~ With Gray ~

"When I get my hands on them, I'll show them Fairy Tail can be so much more terrifying than any dark guild." Gray walks out of the room through the hole that has been made, leaving Rayule completely frozen in ice.
