Chapter 31: Eisenwald.

In the Regular Guild Master Meet, Clover:

"Hey Makarov, you really need to get your brats under control, just the last day one of them blew the Hargeon Port into smithereens." Master Goldmine complained.

"I want to be smashed into Smithereens by Lucy's boobs, HAHAHAHA" Makarov squealed.

"Don't hit on your own guild's children Makarov," Bob complained and everyone laughed.

A little bluebird came in with a letter for Makarov, and seeing this was a hologram message from Mirajene, he gathered the geezers around, showing her off. But the contents of the message brought him from euphoria to depression.

The most chaotic mages formed a party and were going on a mission. The old man could only pray that they don't cause any problems before he returns from the meeting by the next day.

----------------------------------------------------

Erza let the events follow by the book and Natsu was left behind in the train because he was still knocked out. Waking up after Kageyama <the shadow guy> kicked him, Natsu returned the punch with a bit of flaming payback and jumped off the train that stopped because of the emergency braking.

Natsu was caught by Gray and they settled down to have that chat about 'lullaby'. Aster on the other hand walked up to the train and climbed aboard before it started running again.

Seeing Kageyama rubbing his bruised cheek, Aster simply walked towards him and sat on the opposite seat.

"Hello Kageyama, I can't say that it's nice to meet you but I will say that you will be betrayed by your own comrades if you can call them that word. Besides, let me grab this chance to pass a message to Eligor." Aster beckoned with his fingers and wisps of ice-bound Kageyama and brought him near Aster, "Tell him, that the winter is coming. he can run but he can't hide."

Saying this, Aster simply walked out of the window after thawing the ice on Kageyama. He whistled lightly and Crystal appeared on his shoulder, "take me to Madoka" he said and the boy and bird vanished into a snowflake.

They appeared near an empty field where Lucy was telling them about the forbidden magic called lullaby and a bit about its history. They were surprised to see Aster coming out of a snowflake and even more so at the bird that was perched on his shoulder. They had never seen anything like this before, simply because Ice Phoenixes did not exist in the Fairy Tail world.

"Guys, meet Crystal, she is an Ice Phoenix. So, let's continue the explanation later and get to the station. Crystal flew to the ground and her size increased to be nearly as big as the wyvern, Madoka hopped on Crystal's back followed by the rest.

Crystal took flight and the guys were doing their own thing, Lucy was petting Crystal, while Natsu rubbed his face on her cold feathers, Gray was busy studying the beautiful bird of ice and Happy looked jealous.

They reached the station real quickly but were stopped from entering by the station staff. erza being Erza asked them what was wrong with the station despite knowing the answer already and with her, if you fumble, you will tumble. She gave the first guy a headbutt, for fumbling, effectively knocking him out cold.

After repeating the same course of action a few more times, Erza got the answer she was looking for, making Lucy fear her even more while Gray just paled at the view and sighed. They entered the station to find the guards knocked out on the floor and the Eisenwald members waiting for them.

Madoka simply started walking towards the moldy bunch standing before them and started running midway and charged right in, to the shock of the others, and started clobbering the shit out of the bunch of them with only her hands and feet. Aster chuckled at the sight, remembering her fight against the allied shinobi force.

A few minutes in and she was already done with them, a pile of groaning and moaning men under her feet. Eligor on the other hand was nowhere to be seen, he had escaped when no one was paying attention and had cast the wind barrier around the station.

Aster simply stood back and watched Erza threaten Kageyama only for him to disobey and get knocked out. happy on the other hand handed Virgo's gate key to Lucy and with Virgo's help, they managed to secure an exit from the barrier.

Natsu being impatient as ever, grabbed happy who chased after Eligor with Max Speed. Seeing this, Erza chuckled and Aster did not bother chasing after him for they knew that this was a meaningful fight for Natsu. This fight will teach him that his fire can do much more than burn and destroy stuff and also act as a stepping stone for him.

Erza picked up the knocked-out Kageyama and brought him to the 'borrowed' magic vehicle and drove towards Clover town. With Erza pumping in high amounts of magic, the car was running faster than it was made to run and even on the rail track. Thus making it a very bumpy ride, but fast nonetheless.

Natsu who had already reached Eligor had started the fight while Happy was catching his breath after using Max Speed while carrying Natsu. The Wind Mage and the Dragon Slayer had an intense battle and it came to an end after Happy riled up Natsu, even more, causing Eligor's wind armor to disrupt.

Seeing the defeated Eligor, Kageyama who had come to his senses was shellshocked, but despite it all, he took a chance and ran away with the magic vehicle in order to complete his mission.

----------------------------------------------------------------

At the Regular Meeting Hall, Clover:

Kageyama rushed out of his car to see that the meeting was not over yet and sighed. He breathed another sigh of relief knowing that he still had a chance to kill the Guild Masters and complete his mission, to finally get the recognition they deserve, to make their lives better.

he clutched the errie-looking flute and steeled his resolve. Just as he was about to blow in the flute Makarov, who was sitting behind him poked his cheek and asked him what was he doing here, away from the hospital with such injuries.

Seeing the shocked reaction of Kageyama, Makarov laughed and the next second he was again worried about Natsu and the others destroying a city. Kageyama himself was weary with the people from Fairy Tail messing with him so many times in a single day.

"Will you listen to me play a song?" he asked the little old man.

Makarov agreed despite complaining about the flute being creepy. By then Natsu and the group plus Aster and Madoka had arrived at the right time for Makarov's speech.

Kageyama planned to play the lullaby at the guild master's conference and wipe out all the guild masters but he encountered Makarov who somewhat read his mind (like a boss) and told him that nothing was going to change if he played the flute. After a lengthy talking, Kageyama gave up and surrendered.

And Master Bob continued leering at the boys and calling them cute to rattle them up. The scene was about to close but Erza and Aster knew that it won't be so smooth. The lullaby was yet to awaken.

And speaking of the devil...

"KA KA KA, You mages have no guts, I can't hold it in any longer, I will just eat you myself. LET ME DEVOUR YOUR PITIFUL SOULS!!!!" The flute changed into a huge tree-shaped ugly monster with three eyes and three holes in its stomach.
