As Lucy prepared for battle, Happy gave her a deadpanned expression as he sighed.
"Ah, why do you have to try and steal the spotlight from them?" Happy asked.
He shook his head while knowing Vivi and Erza wouldn't need the help from anyone. In fact, they nearly took down half the guys.
"Open: Gate of the Giant Crab!" Lucy said while using one of her gold keys. "Cancer!"
Cancer appeared from a golden ball of light, and Vivi actually paused in her playing to looking over curiously. She looked at the spirit that appeared while noticing his long crab legs. A giant crab man?
"You need me to fight the dudes, baby?" Cancer questioned.
Vivi sweat-dropped thinking that this celestial spirit seemed kind of lame. Or maybe it was just her.
"I've never seen such a horrible hairstyle!" One of the men said.
"You look like an idiot!" Another shouted.
That didn't seem to set well with Cancer, and he quickly went to take care of them with his scissors. Their weapons fell into pieces and they were all suddenly sporting bald heads. Vivi let out a laugh guessing that was one way to take out those thugs.
"That was impressive." Erza said.
"It helped out for sure." Vivi said, still grinning.
She's never seen Celestial magic in person, but it certainly was something interesting.
"Thanks, but it's not a big deal." Lucy said while blushing then turned to the side. "Alright, I totally scored points with them!"
Vivi chuckled finding Lucy amusing
"However, this crab spirit of yours, the way he calls you baby…I find it rather insulting." Erza said.
Lucy and Cancer looked away both looking bothered, and Vivi rolled her eyes.
"Points unscored." Lucy said.
"Whoa… ba-bam." Cancer murmured.
Vivi laughed thinking she was going to like having Lucy around as part of their group.
"Still so many." Erza said. "I thought we took care of most of them."
Vivi refocused on the wizards before her as they started to rally once more. Looked like there was more work to be done.
"Obviously not." Vivi said. "If you're starting to get overwhelmed, Erza, then you can sit the rest of this out. It's not like I need help from you."
As Vivi snapped her fingers, Lucy watched in awe as the speakers disappeared into thin air. The guitar went next before a violin and its bow came appeared in Vivi's waiting hands.
"Don't worry about me." Erza said. "It's annoying, but I can take them out."
The red magic circle appeared under Erza as her entire body started to glow. Her clothes disappeared, which had the Eisenwald guild to hoot and holler like perverted monkeys. Vivi rolled her eyes at the men's reactions.
"Most magic swordsmen can only swap their swords, but Erza can switch into magic armor to enhance her abilities." Happy said as Erza's armor finished reequipping. "It's a talent that only she possesses. That's what makes her magic special. A technique called… the Knight."
Vivi frowned, feeling as if she was totally being shown up here. She couldn't have that, so she prepared her violin as Erza prepared her swords.
"Now, dance my swords," Erza began as Vivi was saying, "Time to play a medley."
"Circling swords!" Erza shouted.
"Melody of the Dancing Wind!" Vivi called out as she played vigorously on her violin.
As Erza's swords shot forward, a blast of magic wind flew out of the magic circle in front of the violin. The attacks merged with a blasting light appearing that blinded everyone for a second. When the light cleared, Lucy gasped when seeing only two men were still standing.
"Whoa, they nearly wiped out the entire guild!" Lucy said.
One of the men went flying at Erza as the other called out that he should stop. Before the man could reach Erza, Vivi, who had sent her violin away, whirled around placing a kick to his face. He dropped like a fly, and Vivi raised her head to glare at the last guy. He stiffened with his eyes widening.
"Looks like you're the last one, pal." Vivi said as she cracked her knuckles. "Since I think using magic will be a waste of time, let's trade fists."
The man started shaking as Vivi stepped forward ready to kick his ass. However, he took off running before he could get her hands on him.
"I imagine he's going after Erigor." Erza said. "You two should follow—"
"Lucy, follow the flunky." Vivi interrupted Erza. "I'm sure you and Happy can handle it. I'm going to follow after the boys to see if I can help them with Erigor. Erza, I think you should clear the curious bystanders outside the station."
Lucy's mouth dropped open in shock that Vivi was giving the orders since the blonde was sure that it wouldn't sit well with Erza. However, instead of waiting around to see if everyone was okay with the plan, Vivi took off running in the direction the boys went. Lucy blinked before looking to Erza.
"So, uh, should we really go after that guy?" Lucy asked.
"Yes, just go!" Erza said.
"Yes, ma'am!" Lucy said then took off running with Happy right behind her.
Erza let out a huff as she fell to her knees. She really did overdo it with the magic mobile. She looked in the direction the boys went along with Vivi. She hoped the bluenette found the boys in time and could help them. She wouldn't be of much help for a bit. She just hoped everything ended soon and with her guildmates alright.

Vivi ran through the hallway while running as fast as possible. She needed to catch up to Natsu and Gray. Hopefully they already found Erigor. She came to a split in the hall with a frown forming on her face. Which way did she need to go? Her head whipped around when a large crashing noise came from the hallway towards the new line. Looks like that direction was her best bet. She took off down the hallway while following the sounds of fighting until she came to the studio room.
She noticed the door was kicked down, and that there was a large hole leading into the other room. As she hurried over to it to step inside, a shape flew right at her causing her to gasp. She was hit head on while falling to the floor with this thing on top of her. Once she gained her bearings, she realized it was Gray who was laying on top of her causing her brow to twitch in annoyance.
"Gray, get your fat ass off of me!" She snapped.
"What'd you say?!" Gray demanded then blinked as he finally realized he was laying on top of Vivi. "Vivi, when did you get here?"
Vivi's brow twitched more in annoyance before she shoved Gray off of her. He grunted hitting the floor behind her as she sat up.
"Just now." Vivi said. "Care to tell me why you're fooling around?"
Gray frowned at her as he sat up as well. Before he could answer, the guy he was fighting attacked with those long black wraps of tape from around his fingers. Gray moved quickly as he grabbed Vivi, who gasped in surprise, to jump out of the way. He landed on his feet a few feet away with Vivi still in his arms. He glared at his opponent as he set the bluenette down.
"I came here looking for Erigor, but found this punk instead." Gray explained as he stood with Vivi. "Turns out we had their plan all figured out wrong."
"Great." Vivi said, frowning. "I guess that means you were just about to beat the answers out of this guy."
Gray nodded his head as his opponent retracted his magical tape as he glared at Gray and Vivi.
"Turns out they only took over this station to cut off connection to Clover." Gray said. "The town where the Guild Masters are meeting, and what's keeping us from going there is a wind barrier that Erigor set up."
Vivi's eyes widened before she turned her head back towards Erigor's flunky as he laughed.
"So you finally figured it out, huh?" The guy asked. "Well, it's too late to stop us now!"
He attacked once more with those weird wraps of his, and Gray pushed Vivi out of the way to take the hit himself. She shouted her protest as Gray was sent flying into the air. Gray ignored her though as he kept focused on his opponent.
"You Eisenwald punks must be pretty brave to take on a pretty powerful group of wizards." Gray said.
"Those ignorant old fogies won't even know what hit them once Lullaby's Song starts playing." The guy retorted. "There's no way Erigor's plan will fail!"
The guy then attacked once more while wrapping Gray and Vivi both up before the bluenette could even stand. She frowned down at the tape, finding this all very annoying.
"You and your little Fairy friends are stuck in this station, so there's nothing you can do about it." He taunted. "Soon we'll have our revenge on everyone who tried to keep us down! When we're done they'll be completely wiped out!"
His head then whirled around to Vivi who chuckled as her lips turned up into a smirk. She lifted her head to look at the guy with a dark look in her blue eyes.
"You and your little dark guild friends are pretty stupid, aren't you?" She asked, causing the guy's brow to twitch in annoyance. "Do you really think you and Erigor's little barrier is going to stop us? Especially after you tell us that the Guild Masters are in danger. To you they might be old fogies, but—!"
"To us they're the closest things to parents we've got!" Gray finished before he started to freeze the wraps around him.
His opponent gasped in shock as the wraps shattered due to being frozen. The rest of his body started being frozen, which included the wraps around Vivi who broke them easily once they turned to ice. She gave a slight shiver, but besides that she was fine. She and Gray moved to stand next to each other as they glared at the Eisenwald guy.
"Not to mention you threatened the Master of Fairy Tail." Vivi said. "You threaten any member of our guild, especially the old man, you'll find out just how scary we can be."
The guy gulped as Gray reached forward to grip his head in his hands as ice started forming. He started shouting for mercy, but he was soon covered completely in ice from head to toe.
"Well, that's over with." Vivi said as she turned to leave. "Come on, you took up enough time playing. We gotta get a move on."
"What?!" Gray snapped. "What do you mean playing? And you didn't exactly do anything to help, ya know!"
Vivi turned around to give him a deadpanned expression as he glared at her angrily.
"Oh, I'm sorry," Vivi said sarcastically. "I guess I was wrong in assuming you had things handled. You might be a pain in my ass, but I always thought you could hold your own. But was I wrong? Well, if that's the case then don't worry, Princess Frosty, I'll be sure to protect you next time."
Gray's brow twitched in aggravation as Vivi kept on going while not wanting to waste more time.
"That's not what I meant!" Gray snapped as he hurried after her.
