"So, tell me, why are you taking me with you?" Kageyama asked.
Vivi sighed shaking her head as she looked at Kageyama who was sitting beside Gray.
"Like I said, I want you there to see us kick your boss's ass." Vivi said grinning. "That'll teach you not to doubt Fairy Tail."
Kageyama sweat-dropped while knowing the bluenette wizard was being totally serious. Just what was up with the wizards of this guild?
"No, we're taking you with us, so you can see a doctor." Lucy corrected. "I'm sure the one in town ran off, which means you'll have to see one in Clover. Try to show some gratitude."
Vivi 'bleh'ed with her tongue sticking out. Honestly, she didn't care if he got medical treatment because he doubted them. She can't stand people who underestimate them or any other member of the Fairy Tail guild.
"I don't understand." Kageyama said. "Why are you helping me? We're enemies."
Vivi rolled her eyes wishing the guy would just shut-up already. She didn't want to listen to him all the way to Clover.
"Oh, I get it." He said. "You're taking me hostage, so you can try to make a deal with Erigor. Well, you can forget it. He could care less about me or any of his men."
Lucy hung her head feeling a bit of sympathy towards Kageyama even if he was the enemy.
"Geez, lighten up, dude." Lucy said.
"Or just shut up." Vivi said. "I'd be happy either way. Actually I'd be happier if you just shut up."
"Well, if he wants to die, we can make that happen." Gray said. "Then he'll definitely be quiet."
Vivi hummed seeming as if she was very seriously contemplating Gray's words. She couldn't deny that he had a point. A very valid point.
"Chill out, Gray." Lucy said.
"What?" Vivi asked. "I actually like his plan."
"Don't encourage him, Vivi!" Lucy snapped.
Kageyama frowned wondering what was up with these people. He's heard Fairy Tail has some odd characters, but he never pictured them like this. It was ridiculous.
"There's a lot more to this world than just life and death, ya know." Gray said. "You should try to look for the positive. You and your Eisenwald pals."
Kageyama frown looking away from Gray as he closed his eyes for a moment. Suddenly, the magic mobile shook violently, which sent everyone in the air. Lucy's butt went into Kageyama's face, and Gray's head hit something soft and bouncy. Once they were righted, Lucy jumped away from Kageyama as Gray blinked. What was his head resting on?
"Gray, you mind moving?" Vivi asked frowning.
Gray looked with his eyes widening when he saw his head was pressed against Vivi's chest. They felt… nice… so soft. He blushed at his thoughts then jumped away from Vivi as she sat up. She dusted off her clothes as she sat back down in a seat.
"What happened?" Gray asked.
"It's okay!" Erza called back. "Everything's fine now."
Inside the magic mobile, Kageyama was holding his face which had Lucy's butt in it earlier.
"I am so sorry." Lucy said.
"Could your butt be any bigger?" Kageyama complained.
"Sexual harassment!" Lucy shouted turning to her two friends. "Kill him, Gray, Vivi! He said I had a big butt."
Vivi covered her ears trying to drown out Lucy's shouting since it was giving her a headache.
"Geez, so much for trying to have a serious moment." Gray said.
Vivi then frowned as the magic mobile shook again. She looked towards where Erza would be sitting on the outside of the cab. She should be running out of magic by now. This could be troublesome.
***
When the group finally caught up with Natsu, he had already defeated Erigor.
"Natsu!" Lucy called out.
"Hey, you guys just missed seeing me beat Erigor!" Natsu said.
Vivi smiled as she got out of the magic mobile. She's just glad that this was all over. Vivi then glanced at Erza to see she was totally spent as the others climbed out of the Magic Mobile.
"I'm proud of you." Erza said as Lucy was helping her down from the magic mobile.
Vivi shook her head knowing that Erza should have let Gray or her take over earlier with the magic mobile.
"Are you going to be okay?" Lucy asked worriedly.
"Yes, don't worry about me." Erza said smiling.
Vivi then noticed the Lullaby on the ground near Erigor. She walked forward to kneel down in front of it. She reached down to pick it off the ground before standing up.
"So, this is what you had been trying to destroy all those years ago, Diva?" Vivi murmured. "Maybe now things can be set right."
Vivi frowned when the eyes in the flute started glowing because that wasn't a good sign. She wondered if she should tell the others, but when she looked up, she saw Gray and Natsu were too busy arguing.
"I can't believe you had such a hard time with this guy." Gray said to Natsu.
"I never said that." Natsu said. "I took care of him, didn't I?"
"I was kind of worried for a while there." Happy confessed.
Natsu just continued grinning because he still beat Erigor without help from Gray.
"Whatever." Gray said. "You look pretty stupid wearing a scarf when you're half naked."
"Like you have room to talk." Natsu snarked.
He then turned to the girls as Lucy continued to hold up Erza, so the older girl wouldn't fall over.
"Hey, Lucy, give me your clothes!" Natsu said.
"In your dreams!" Lucy snapped.
Erza chuckled in amusement as Vivi removed her black vest off of her to toss at Natsu who caught it.
"Here, make do with that." Vivi said. "Take care of it though, Natsu."
"Right!" Natsu said grinning as he put it on. "Thanks!"
He left the vest unbuttoned since he wouldn't be able to button it even if he wanted to. Besides, he preferred it unbuttoned anyway.
"Anyway, well done, Natsu." Erza said. "Thanks to you all the Guild Masters will be safe now."
Vivi looked down at the flute in her hand while wondering what they should do with it. She didn't know how to dispose of it.
"Well, we should probably continue on to the conference." Vivi said. "Master Makarov and the other Guild Masters will want to know about this. Besides, one of them might know how to properly deal with the Lullaby."
And if not, maybe some of the old archives she kept from her days in her old guild would have the answer.
"Might as well since we're so close to Clover." Happy said nodding.
Suddenly Vivi felt herself being grabbed, and she cried out in shock when she was lifted high in the air. Everyone gasped looking up to see Kageyama had high jacked the magic mobile with his shadows, and one of the shadows was restraining Vivi and the Lullaby.
"Kage!" Erza shouted.
"What are you doing?!" Gray demanded.
"You bastard, set Vivi down now!" Natsu roared.
Lucy and Happy looked up worriedly as Vivi tried to break free, but was unable to.
"Lullaby is mine now!" Kageyama shouted as the Lullaby was ripped out of Vivi's here. "Now, here's your friend back! She's useless to me."
He tossed Vivi into the air causing her eyes to widen. Gray and Natsu gasped before running forward to catch Vivi. Natsu jumped up into the air first, so he snatched Vivi out of the air with Gray waiting below just in case they needed help with landing. Natsu landed on his feet then looked down at Vivi as she opened her eyes, which she had clamped shut when being tossed into the air. Gray let out a sigh of relief as did the others. That was a close call.
"Shouldn't have let your guard down, Flies!" Kageyama shouted while they were distracted by trying to see if Vivi was alright.
Kageyama then went speeding down the train tracks. Leaving the others far behind. Natsu growled in anger, but instead of hurrying after Kageyama immediately, Natsu looked to Vivi again.
"Are you alright?" Gray asked her as he walked over to the two.
"Yeah." Vivi said. "But we have to hurry after the Lullaby now! Before it's too late."
Everyone nodded as Natsu set Vivi on her own two feet. They all started hurrying after the magic mobile as it carried away the Lullaby.
