CHAPTER EIGHT

Clover town is a rather small town situated in a mountainous area, surrounded by forests. It is best known for the fact that it is the place where Masters of Legal Guilds are gathered to discuss their guilds. They have been at the meeting for a few days now.

they were master like master bob the Guild Master of blue Pegasus Scale. Who was trying to flirt with Yami much to his dismay.

The gathering was mostly about guild masters bragging about their guild

Makarov was the one who bragged the most as fairytail Is ranked first so, he has been talking none stop since they came.

Master they is a massage form Mira Yami said bring an envelope to the master

A projection of Mira come out of the envelope and told master about the strongest team of fairytail which almost caused master to catch a heart attack.

The day continued as normal, till at the even when Makarov said he was going out.

'It about to start' Yami had been waiting for the time to come so that he could fight the demon of zeref.

Yami stood up and followed his master. The other guild masters also follow not long after.

Yami leaned on a tree as he watched his master talk to the one named Kage.

Not long after Erza and her team trudged up a small hill, complete with Gray and Natsu arguing, Erza reprimanding them and Lucy complaining she had to live with this. Yami chuckled to himself and gazed up at the moon, when he heard master's voice. They others must have heard as well since they quieted down.

"I guess one song couldn't hurt." The master voice sighed.

"Be careful to listen carefully!" Said Kage.

"Kage..." Natsu glowered.

"Shhh..." Yami said while the other guild masters came out from the bushes. "We're just getting to the good part!"

The group jumped back at the sheer creepiness and weirdness master bob gave, except Erza.

Makarov spoke up. "Well, I can't wait all night, young man."

Kage brought the Lullaby flute to his lips. Erza and the others were about to charge in but were stopped by the guild masters

Makarov's voice piped up. "Well?"

Kage didn't answer, looking at the flute. A short while passed, and Makarov sighed.

"Nothing will change." He began. "You cannot change the fact those who are weak will forever remain weak. Now I don't know if it's just me, but I don't think that's a bad thing. I mean, we humans are weak creatures by nature. Our insecurities are the reason guilds even exist."

Makarov turned to face Kage. "And that is why we have friends. When we're surrounded by allies, it's easier to stay positive about the future. Think of it this way: If we're clumsy, we may stumble and bump into things, but as long we have faith in our future and continue marching forward, our inner strength emerges on its own. But we have to choose that path and pledge to live our lives to the fullest. Don't let that silly flute get in the way."

Kage dropped to his knees, Lullaby flute no longer in his hands. "I surrender."

At this point, the team ran towards their guild master, happiness in their faces.

"Master!"

"You stopped him!"

"Good job, gramps!"

"Wait, why are you guys here? I thought you kids were inside!" Makarov frowned.

"Master, your words touched me so dearly that I was nearly moved to tears!" Erza hugged the master to her iron chest plate.

"Oww..." Makarov groaned.

"That has to hurt" Yami said

"Looks like gramps talked his way out of another one." Gray smiled.

"Mwahahaha!" Came an ominous voice. "I've grown tired of you cowardly wizards and your antics!"

"What was that?" Asked Lucy.

Suddenly, a large magic circle appeared in the sky, with black smoke trailing behind it. "I can no longer hold back! I shall come forth to devour you myself!"

Out from the magic circle came a monster of epic proportions. It seemed to be made out of wood, but it didn't make it any less menacing. Its legs created craters when it walked. Its hands spiked out at wicked angles. And worst of all, it wore a skull with three eye sockets, which glowed darkly with power.

"Erigor never said anything about it turning into a monster!" Kage trembled.

The monster loomed evilly above them.

Lucy shook in fear. "Why'd it turns into a monster?"

"That's Lullaby's true form." Answered Gold Mine. "It's dark magic: Living Magic, Zeref's specialty."

"So, which of these delectable souls shall I dine on first?" The demon said it as if it were browsing a menu at a restaurant.

"Delectable, huh?" Natsu's face turned into one of wonder. "Do you think souls are really that tasty?"

"How should I know what they taste like?" Gray grumbled.

"Always thinking about eating!" Lucy commented.

"Natsu and Gray! Get everyone to a safe place!" Ordered Erza.

"Quit barking orders!" Natsu complained.

"Yeah, you ain't the boss of us!" Gray agreed.

"Just do it!" Erza said with a glare.

Gray and Natsu walked off together. "Aye!"

"Another Happy impression!?" Lucy said, her eyebrow twitching.

"Hang on, is that an army?" Yami pointed at the large squadron headed towards Lullaby.

They shouted something, but everyone else couldn't hear. Apparently, it angered Lullaby since it shot a magic attack at a nearby mountain, making it into two smaller mountains with a wide 'U' in between them. The army shouted again and moved, but this time in the direction away from Lullaby.

"I have no need for those pathetic humans!" Lullaby declared. "I have interest in a wizard's soul and I will devour all of yours!"

Natsu piped up. "I'd like to see you try, big guy!"

"Good luck..." The council of guild masters cheered half-heartedly.

"You should help them!" Happy suggested.

"Uhhh, nope." Lucy immediately shot down the idea.

"Why not?" Asked Happy.

"None of my spirits are available right now..." She said offhandedly.

"Good excuse." Happy snickered.

"Shut it, cat!" Lucy said.

"How about you Yami?" Happy glanced at him.

"of course, I'm not missing out on this." Yami reasoned as he unsheathed his blade.

Lullaby then screamed into the sky, casting a magic circle. Its roar sounded for miles.

"Argh, my ears!" Lucy cried.

"It's now or never." Erza glanced at Yami, Natsu and Gray. "Ready?"

"Yeah!" The two boys said simultaneously.

"Always ready" Yami said as he cloaked his blade with dark magic

The four of them then dashed, fast as light, towards the monstrosity known as Lullaby. Yami attacks with dark slashes from a distance, while Erza requipped her armour to the iron angel, took flight, and slashed at Lullaby's side. Gray took a stance, then sent countless frozen lances at the demon. Natsu lit his fist on fire and punched Lullaby right in the face. The council and others watching gawked at this stunning display of magic power.

"You are making me angry!" Lullaby yelled as it smashed at the four wizards.

They nimbly dodged, and struck again. Yami jumps on its arm slashing it as he goes. Erza struck at the monster's flank once more, while Gray summoned more ice weapons to fire at Lullaby. Natsu put his two arms back and flung them forward, sending two streams of flame at the demon.

"Woah, their combination attacks are so powerful!" Said Kage.

"They're absolutely insane!" Marveled Lucy.

Lullaby put its head to the sky, then the magic circle disappeared in its mouth.

"This isn't good..." Yami muttered.

"Here comes it's song!" Happy braced for impact.

Lullaby shouted, then the plants around them started to wilt.

"Your souls are mine!" Lullaby roared, but only sounds resembling a mistuned whistle came out.

"hahaha." Yami laughed as he knew this will happen.

"Nothing happened!" Lucy exclaimed.

"I don't understand..." Lullaby growled. "Why can't I play my melody of death?"

"It must be from those attacks!" Kage pointed out.

"It put so many holes in that thing that it totally messed up its sound!" Lucy added.

"You dare mock me?" Lullaby kicked at a mountain. It then stared at the council, its eye sockets glowing, shooting a beam at them but it was blocked by grays ice shield

Natsu was eating up the flames that was made

"Now I've got a fire in my belly!" Natsu grinned.

"You're no human, you're a monster!" Lullaby sent a fist at him, only for Natsu to jump over it

"{Requip!}" Erza passed through a magic circle, and her iron angel armour was changed into one of leathery wings.

Gray took another stance and sent an icy disk at the demon, blowing a hole in its side. "Ice Make: Saucer!"

Erza swooped in and cut a deep gash on Lullaby's cheek. "Yami!"

"Now!" Called Gray.

"I've got this." Yami cast a magic circle and cloaked his blade with a large amount of magic. "I don't know what I was thinking when I named this but…... {getsuka tenso}!"

A giant dark slash charges towards the Lullaby. When slash contacted, it splits the demon in half sending a light at the clouds up above. A pause, then a windy shockwave swept everywhere.

Makarov put his hands behind his back. "Well done."

"Wow..." Lucy looked like she was seeing stars.

"I can't believe how strong they are!" Gawked Kage. "Woah, are all the Fairytail wizards this strong?"

The smoke cleared to reveal Yami, Natsu, Gray and Erza, walking out of the ashes triumphant from their battle with Lullaby.

"There's no doubt about it!" Lucy celebrated.

"This is Fairytail's strongest team!"

"We're an awesome guild, aren't we?" Makarov said with pride.

"I can't exactly say I know what just happened," Gold Mine paused. "But it's obvious we owe this victory to the Fairytail guild."

"Wait, we do?" Said a wizard.

"Even so..." Piped up another.

"They went overboard!" They said simultaneously.

The trio turned their heads to see the landscape with a crater in it, alongside the disappearance of the conference hall.

"The conference hall's gone." Yami pointed out.

"Some mountaintops are also missing!" Chimed in Happy.

Master Makarov stood still for a moment, before something came out.

"Oh look, master's soul is going out." Gray said.

"Haha!" Natsu laughed. "We really messed up the place, huh?"

"Master, please come back! Forgive our actions!" Erza chased Makarov's soul, trying to put it back in his body.

"Chase them!" Yelled a wizard.

"Whoops, time to go!" Happy said.

And so, the Fairytail wizards were chased down by very angry ones who wanted payment for the obliteration of the conference hall.
