Entering the guild tired and hungry was Haruta, seeing as everyone was in a moment of distress and panic, Haruta found that this was the long awaited arrival of Erza Scarlet, going to the reception desk he wanted to order some food from Mira since her cooking was one of the best he had ever tasted.
[Haruta]Mira mind if i get this?
[Mira]sure thing one second okay
[Haruta]mmm thanks
running off Mira started making him a strawberry thick shake with cream, after a bit she came back giving it to him, watching as everyone was in panic Haruta felt a bit at peace
[Haruta]thanks it tastes great, by the way whats going on with everyone?
[Mira]oh right you don't know about Erza, well she is kind of the person who keeps everyone in check, she is also the person that keeps Gray and Natsu from fighting
[Haruta]i see thanks, yo Lucy stop with the trembling that won't be a good impression now would it?
[Lucy]oh Haruta, yeah well i can't help it, i mean look at how Natsu and Gray are reacting there like completely different people
looking at Gray and Natsu as they were shaking and trembling from the thought of her alone, however interrupted with heavy steps just outside the guild hall doors, soon enough they opened, opening to the sight of crimson red hair entered view her gentle snow skin, the fragrance of roses her strong gaze and strong posture, a warriors aura, holding a giant horn made her look the more stronger.
Haruta was in complete awe at her stunning figure and looks, however regaining his composure fast well everyone went from panicking and trembling to stiff as a tree and facing her, awaiting her to speak .
[Erza]well than where is the master?
[Haruta](sip) he's at a meeting conference with (sip) the magic council, and won't be back till later on
sipping his smoothie in complete bliss he currently had his mask off however covered with his hoodie you couldn't quite see his face as he was facing down well speaking and looking in his cup.
[Erza]i see.....and who might you be?
[Haruta]right.....names Haruta Snow, i presume you are the miss Erza Scarlet right? or better known as Titania Scarlet
[Erza]just Erza will do and pleased to make your acquaintance mister Snow
[Haruta]just call me Haruta, no formalities needed
[Erza]i see well than getting that out of the way i have heard several things well i was away and wish to confirm of such stories
reprimanding the entire guild of current events that have happened throughout the time she was away, Haruta was in complete bliss ordering tons and tons of food, however displeased he seemed unsatisfied with the thought of no ice creams in this world, after pondering on it he decided something on his own
[Haruta]hey Mira quick question
[Mira]hmm whats wrong Haruta?
[Haruta]do you perse know what ice cream
[Mira]well no what is it?
[Haruta]a famous treat back in my country
[Mira]oh i see and i assume you wish me to try and make it?
[Haruta]yeah pretty much
[Mira]well than how do i make it and what to do
after explaining how to make ice cream the guild had suddenly went quiet after Erza had made it official to make a team with Gray and Natsu, however in plans Mira looked at Haruta and Lucy who was standing next to him
[Mira]well than Lucy, since i am making your food how about you in turn do me a favour and grab Lucy to go on a little quest with those 3, after all i can't tell how it'll end if Erza isn't around well those 2 are together
[Lucy]wait but why me?
[Mira]well because.....
looking at Haruta he was currently too fixated on his food to be concentrating, realising he probably wouldn't care too much Lucy sighed and tapped on Haruta shoulder who was wondering what she wanted
[Lucy]well you see.....
The next day
[???]WHY THE HELL DO I HAVE TO BE ON THE SAME TEAM AS YOU, YOU ICE MAKING PERV
[???]im the one who should be saying that you damn pyro
arguing in front of the train station many people were currently very nervous around these 2 hot headed people who were giving off an agitated feeling to them against each other, however close by were another 3 pair of figures which 2 in turn were talking well one had been acting asleep, this bunch of wizards were the infamous fairy tail wizards.
[Lucy](sigh)why am i here.....
[Happy]because it would be fun right?
[Lucy]no really it was because Mira asked me saying to look after those 2, Haruta can't you do anything about them at least. i don't know tell them to stop or something
getting up from the bench he walked over to Natsu and Gray who were currently still agitated at each other and about to start fighting.
[Haruta]you owe me Lucy, anyway oi you two that's eno-
arguing both of them weren't listening as they turned to Haruta and both glared at him he closed his eyes smiling underneath his hood, giving off a dark and evil aura both of them stopped glaring and started becoming nervous.
[Haruta]the hell you think your glaring at me for? keep staring and i think we have a problem right Lucy?
[Natsu]ALRIGHT, IM ALL FIRED UP!!!
[Gray]guess im gonna have to cool both of your heads down
[Haruta]oh, both of you are getting on such high horses now
with all 3 auras unleashed, fire burning against ice and darkness, ice sending chills into the air around them, darkness covering even the brightest of lights, all 3 of them were getting heated up till suddenly walking over was Lucy who was currently annoyed and had a gloomy and dark aura around her.
[Lucy]HEY....ALL OF YOU, WILL YOU JUST STOP ALREADY "thunk"
[Natsu]owwww.....
[Gray]geez, what was that for Luny?
[Lucy]ITS LUCY, NOT LUNY JERK!!!
hitting Natsu and Gray on the head both of them were sitting on the ground while Haruta had dodged her and was currently leaning over by a column that was holding up the shelter, awaiting Erza arrival she had finally shown up after a few brief moments.
[Erza]sorry for making you wait, ohh i saw you 2 at the guild right, if im not wrong your Haruta, however i don't know your name
[Lucy]oh hello, my name is Lucy, sorry Mira asked for us to come, so we thought we would tag along(although this isn't how i planned it)
[Erza]i see and don't be sorry its always good to have an extra pair of help, i hope Gray and Natsu haven't been a bother
[Haruta]they ha-
[Lucy]no, no they haven't
interrupting Haruta as he was about to con them out, Erza looked back at the two who were currently butting heads however staring at them they locked arms and acted all buddy buddy.
[Erza]i see that is good then, shall we get going then?
[Lucy]yeah su.....re thing.....(WHATS WITH THE MASSIVE LOAD!?!)
[Haruta]well.....guess girls really do love there clothes.....and weapons?
[Happy]thats Erza for you
looking at the massive load of luggage she had the pair were quite taken aback at how much she was loaded with, and storing, from Lucy perspective it was as if she was taking her house, well Haruta thoughts wondered what was inside such massive loads of luggage.
[Erza]well then lets get going
[Natsu]HOLD IT...Erza i have one condition if im gonna go with you....
challenging her for when they go back, Erza agreed pumping Natsu up for when they fight, they got on the train following behind Erza, however as they got on they all lost sight of Haruta, knowing he was on the train however they decided not to investigate and sat down, talking about lullaby and the dark guild Einsenwald, or whats been heard about it, they all got serious after discussing it.After a few hours the train had come to a stop with the team getting off, however similar events occurring, Natsu was left on the train as it rode away, however with Haruta still situated on the train he was currently glancing at Kageyama who was looking over at Natsu direction, getting up both Haruta and Kageyama walked into each other.
[Kageyama]HEY, watch where your going alright?
[Haruta]ahh, sorry about that
apologising to Kageyama however what he didn't know was that Haruta had just pickpocket him and taken the lullaby flute right from under his nose, carrying on, Haruta had walked to the back of one of the carts, exiting outside and disappearing to a nearby tree as he lay there resting underneath it, awaiting Erza and the rest arrival, so much as tell them some things, after a few minutes Haruta had sensed magic energy and a few figures at that, sensing that it was Erza and the rest he got up, revealing himself as they saw him they stopped next to him.
[Lucy]hey wheres Natsu? and he-hey?
[Haruta]listen carefully im going to Oshibana station, Natsu is on the train up ahead, with that said im leaving
[Gray]HEY WAIT!!!
enveloped in black mist, wings blacker than night appeared with a wingspan of 2 and a half metres larger than him he flew off before they could even say anything to him, deciding to just carry on up ahead they drove off towards the train to grab Natsu, driving after the train it didn't take long before they reached it, however seeing as it was stopped only for a few moments they drove along next to it, not expecting what would happen next Gray climbed up to jump to the train however before he could (WHAM) smacking head first was him and Natsu as they head butted each other.
appearing as everything was explained however lullaby was never brought up since Haruta had already taken it from Kageyama and is currently on his way towards Oshibana station.
[Haruta]this is such a drag, i should have just stayed back at magnolia...but then again, guess i could do with some exercise
clicking his shoulder as he flew towards Oshibana he finally arrived after a while, descending to the ground he looked around at the surrounding people who were questioning the train workers, and conductors who operated the railways.
[Citizen1]HEY WHY CAN'T I GET ON THE TRAIN I NEED TO GET BACK TO HARGEON!?
[Citizen2]yeah, i was planning a trip over at Akane resort, you better let me on these tickets ain't cheap, YOU HEAR ME?!?!
[Worker1]please calm down, the city guards are currently undergoing an investigation on the trains current situation, so please remain calm and be patient
watching this Haruta made his way through the large crowd of people, slipping through several people he was sick of the crowd alread, disappearing only to reappear behind the worker.
[Haruta]seal this place off, do not allow anyone to enter, call for the magic councils rune knights, until then no one is to enter inside okay?
before the worker could react Haruta had already long since disappeared from his previous position, inside the station was Haruta as he was walking through, looking at all the bodies scattered around, his dark power was going insane, he could barely contain it from consuming the dead ones bodies, however holding back he made his way through a long hallway and up a flight of stairs, as he did he sensed several people not far from his current location.
[Members]Kageyama you damned fool/ HOW COULD YOU LOSE IT!?!/ hey Erigor what now, lullaby is gone/ i knew i should have been the one to grab it
supposedly the man named Erigor sat calmly a top a railway that stood atop a deck watching over his members as they were angered at one of there fellow members who lost something of importance, floating down from the railway the man named Erigor with white wild hair wielding a scyth, with tattoos along his body, walking towards Kageyama.
[Erigor]well than what shall we do.....ANY GUESSES KAGEYAMA? i mean you said you had it right? so....where.is.it?
[Kageyama]i-it must ju-just be on the t-t-train somewhere seriously.....
in a state of panic from the rush of killing intent that overwhelmed him he said this in a state of worry to save his own neck, so much as to not anger the man in front of him further.
[Erigot]i see....than men, search the train, every little bit searched NOW, however Kageyama....if they don't find it then.....you may very well end up like one of those wretched council guards out there
hearing this Kageyama shivered in fear knowing he didn't have it, as it was only inevitable before he is killed by Erigor, however before anything else could happen, the large set of doors were slammed open revealing a figure in a black along with a mask covering his face, looking at him everyone grew wary feeling a serious aura from this mysterious person.
[Erigor]WHO ARE YOU TO DARE ENTER HE-(BOOM)
without a word Haruta had already sent a massive strike of lighting towards a group of men taking out a bit of them in one foul swoop, seeing this the rest became serious, activating there magic as they sent waves of magic at him, however dodging and blocking the magic nothing was getting through to him
[Haruta]are you perhaps looking for lullaby?
hearing this Erigor held his hand up gesturing for his men to stop the ongoing attacks, lowering his hand as Haruta stood there, Erigor questioningly stood there sizing Haruta out.
[Erigor]do you have it? IF SO THEN GIVE IT HERE AND I SHALL LET YOU LEAVE
[Haruta]how about this, you tie yourselves up and cause no trouble.....and i'll let you leave?
hearing this the men including Erigor were dumbfounded looking at each other for a few brief seconds as they burst into laughter not able to believe what Haruta had just said.
[Erigor]what kind of foolish act are you trying to pull you fool, HAND IT OVER OR DIE.NOW.'
hearing his remark Haruta looked down at the ground as he pulled out lullaby, smiling Erigot raised his hand out, however seeing this Haruta had sighed placing it back in his coats pocket, confused they looked at Haruta, coating himself in electric and mist, Haruta disappeared towards a group of members knocking one out by punching him in the cheek that sent him flying towards a wall, afterwards he grabbed another lifting him in the air and shocking him, as 3 more members rushed at him, he threw his arm back coating his palm in magic energy unleashing a large wave of lightning that knocked them all out.
[Haruta](sigh) how weak....i even held back on them and they still lost.....i hope your different Erigor
[Erigor]wh-wha-WHAT THE HELL, GET.HIM.NOW.
taking out one after another Haruta made quick work of the surrounding members, as Erigor regret for underestimating his opponent, finally stepping forward he decided to join in on the battle.
[Erigor]TIME.FOR.YOU.TO.DIE.
using wind magic he had appeared by Haruta quickly sending a quick at him, sending Haruta into a nearby wall, he was etched into the side of the wall, earning a smirk from Erigor, however only a few brief seconds later, Haruta was seen stepping out and clicking his shoulder.
[Haruta]that was nice....now its my turn
disappearing only for a second to pass and he had already appeared in front of Erigor, sending a massive power conducted blast of magic at Erigor that used up almost all of his magic power to end the battle quickly, Erigor was out and embedded into the wall, leaving outside it seemed the magic council guards had arrived sealing the place off and entering, avoiding them Haruta made his way outside, finally done with the mission he left towards the main road awaiting his teams arrival
