Hello! I am sorry for the long wait! Many things have happened this year and last.

I had to register for college last year and had to take a lot of standardize tests and what now. Now that I am in college it has been kind of hectic. Earlier this year we also had four tornados so the power and internet was out for a month or two.

But now I am back! Haha, so please! Enjoy!

Thank you all for the reviews!

Aladdin walks happily toward the train station next to his companions. When they woke up this morning they quickly washed up and ate and packed. Now they were walking toward the train station.

"You're late flame brain!"

"Can it ice princess!"

"Enough! Best friends don't fight!" Erza growled out and hit the two on their heads making a cry come from the both of them. Aladdin made a mental note not to make her angry.

From beside the redhead, he could see a massive cart of luggage. From behind there, he saw a familiar blonde peek from behind it. Aladdin made his way over to her with a bright smile.

"Hi miss Lucy!" He said cheerfully. The blonde teen smiles down at him. "Hello Aladdin, and Lucy is just fine." She says, relaxing a bit. Aladdin makes a bright smile when she bent down to greet him and gave him a good view of her chest. He was about to go forward and hug her if it weren't for Erza walking up behind him.

"S-So much luggage!" the blonde yelled as the redhead came forward. Aladdin starred as he remembered their trip from the village to the guild and the things the teen had. Even though it was there before the two had just actually realized the massive cart and it still amazed them.

"And you are?" The redhead asks. Lucy perked up and stood up straight.

"L-Lucy! Ma'am! I'm the new guild member!" She introduced herself with a bow. Erza looked her over and nodded, "That's right, you were in the guild yesterday."

"Right, Mira-san asked me to tag along. I'll try to be useful."

Losing interest Aladdin looked over to Gray and Natsu who were having their own conversation, well if you call an argument a conversation. He couldn't help but giggle at how they would quickly compose themselves when the redhead turned around from talking to the blonde.

He began to wonder in his own thoughts, thinking about what their task was and such. He began to pick at the bottom of his black vest and turned back into the other's conversations before he was too lost in thought.

"I don't know what this task is but I'll go under one condition?" The salamander spoke up, gaining the young boy's attention. The faces Gray and Lucy gave him were of shock and Aladdin tilts his head in confusion, not seeing the big deal.

"Fine then, this condition is?"

"You and I have a fight when we get back."

Gray and Lucy's face became more hysterical and Aladdin let out a giggle.

"Fine, and we'll see if you actually win."

He couldn't help but stare at the fire mage as he writhes in pain a bit. Aladdin pitied his new friend a bit. Their group had boarded the train, him and Gray and Natsu sat on one bench and Erza and Lucy sat across from them. Natsu was leaning against the window of the train and Gray made an annoyed face. "Geez, you're so hopeless, Natsu. Go sit somewhere else if you're going to be this annoying, even better, don't ride the train, just run." Aladdin pitied the other even more.

Lucy leaned forward and turned toward the pink haired boy. "I know it happens every time but it still looks painful."

Erza sighed and pats the space next to her. "There's no other way, come sit by me Natsu." She says and Natsu croaked out an '"Aye" and he and Lucy changed seats. Now Aladdin was between her and Gray and Natsu and Erza sat across from them. Without a word Erza punched the other boy in the stomach, knocking him unconscious, leaving the others with a shocked and scared expression

"That should ease him a little." The redhead said and rests her hand on his head.

"Now that I think about it What kind of magic do you use Erza-san?" Lucy asked. "You can just call me Erza." Before she could continue, Happy spoke up, "Erza's magic is beautiful." He commented and Aladdin listened with mild interest. Happy went to explain further,"Plenty of blood came out in the end, her opponent's blood." He says excitedly and Lucy sweatdropped. "How is that beautiful." She mumbled and Aladdin couldn't help but smile nervously.

"It's nothing special, I think Gray's magic is more beautiful," Erza commented and Gray gave a hum before pressing his fist into his palm. A bright light came and frost swirled around before it took the shape of the guild's crest.

"Wah!" Lucy said, clearly amazed.

"Sooo cooool~!" Aladdin says as his eyes went big and began to poke it.

"It's ice magic." He says. "It doesn't really fit you though." Lucy says and Gray shrugged his shoulders. "Who cares?"

The Lucy perked up. "I get it now, fire and ice! No wonder you two don't get along! You guys are so straightforward and cute." She muttered the last sentence more to herself."

"Is that so?" Erza asked and the more Aladdin thought about it the more it did make sense. Gray only crossed his arms and let out a huff. "Anyway let's get ready Erza. What's going on?"

"Yes, allow me to explain." She starts and the atmosphere became serious.

"It was around the time I and Aladdin were coming back from that mission. We stopped at a bar in Onbas where mages gather, some folks caught my attention. There were a group of men talking about something sealed called "Lullaby". Aladdin faintly recalled their time at the bar and he remembered the group of men she was talking about. He didn't pay much attention to them since Erza wasn't, well she seemed like she wasn't to him but it seemed she was being observant.

"Lullaby?" Gray echoed out. "The Lullaby. Is it some sort of magic that can put people to sleep?" Lucy asks and Erza looked down. "I don't know, but since it is sealed, it probably contains some powerful magic."

"I don't get it, "Grey stated, "You come across some folks wanting to break a seal of some unknown magic. Maybe that's all it was their job, nothing special."

Erza gave a serious look, "Yeah, that's what I told myself, and didn't give it any more thought. Until I remembered the name Eligor.

"The Ace of mage guild Eisenwald, Shinigami Eligor."

"Shinigami?" Aladdin says while tilting his head in confusion.

"It's a nickname people gave him because he kept taking up assassination requests. The council prohibits mages from taking assassination requests, but Eligor chose the money instead."

The train slowed to a stop and the conductor announced they were at the train station. People passed by and they began to exit as well. Erza had to go to one of the back carts to grab all her luggage and met back with them.

Aladdin shifted around, feeling something a bit off. He looked around once more, noticing that the pink haired wizard wasn't with them. He made to go tell one of them but thought against it since the train hadn't moved yet and maybe all he had to do was just find the teen.

He climbs back on board and looks around, he had to get on his tiptoes in order to see over the seats. He mentally pouts at his short height and narrows his eyes as he looks around. Spotting the pink hair toward the back he makes his way over to the salamander mage, stopping when he saw another sitting across from him. He wore a simple jacket and his hair was tied back into a short ponytail. He gave Aladdin a closed eye smile and the boy remained silent.

"Ah, is this your comrade? Are you from Fairy Tail as well?" He asked, before Aladdin could respond the train bucked and Aladdin held onto the shoulder of the seat to keep from falling. The train begin to move and he worried how the two would get to the others in time.

"Judging by your crest on your hand you are. Why don't you come sit since the train is already moving?"

He sat by Natsu since he knew him, call it the child tuition he had but strangers weren't safe, most of them.

"You know I heard Fairy Tail had a lot of cute girls in there. My thing is that my guild doesn't have girls at all." He says, smile still on his face. Aladdin stared at him with an unreadable expression and felt something bristle in the back of his mind. He kept a straight face and a certain spark went through his eyes. He felt wrong around this guy.

"You know mister, you seem too friendly." He spoke over the groan that left Natsu. He saw the creases form between the man's eyebrows but his smile didn't falter.

"Really now, I'm just being myself here. No need for hostilities."

Another bristle, "You are lying."

The smile faltered and before another retort was made Aladdin was pushed to the side and into the aisle. He landed on his side and scrambled up to see the man's foot had connected with a now conscious Natsu. Said teen didn't even seem to flinch at the attack.

"OH! You're awake! You know it's rude to ignore people when they talk to you."

"Well it's rude for you to hit anyone period -bleh!" Natsu made to retort but was cut off in the end because of his stomach.

"Fairy Tail had been getting on my nerves lately-"

"I don't- barf."

The man threw his head back in laughter. "That's no good! if you want to sound threatening you should do this-"

Black magic swirled around his fist and Aladdin's eyes went wide as he took a step forward and grabbed his staff. Muttering a quick phrase he made it weaken, shocking the other.

"No one should use black magic, be it for destruction or not; but you have a way to bend it at will easily for some reason."

He slams the staff forward, shooting a gust of wind toward the window. It shattered.

Natsu came to his senses at some point, fist ablaze and punched the man, causing him to go out the window. Aladdin watched as he tossed out and as Natsu swayed back and forth before going to his side.

"Natsu-nii, we need to hurry up-"

The train came to a halt, probably because the conductor was alerted because of the window.

Natsu hunched over, taking a few deep breaths before standing up fully. "Alright Aladdin- wait, where's everyone else!"

"Ano, you just realized this Natsu-nii..?" the young boy asked nervously while the salamander grabbed his things and threw it over his shoulders. "Well yeah."

"They're at the station, we shouldn't be too far away from it" The younger answered. Natsu and Aladdin both poked their heads out the window.

Only to see an Erza speeding toward them.

Natsu let out a yelp and Aladdin gaped.

"S-she looks mad"

"Yeah"

"At least you two are well." Erza stated in a relieved tone, although it was noticeable that she appeared quite tired.

"You hauled all the way from town, just to say that?" Lucy gasped as she stumbles out the cart.

"Of course, I simply needed to see if they were okay-"

"Erza-san, we have information." Aladdin quickly gained her attention. "There was one of those dark wizards on the train.."

"Dark wizards?"

"Un, he was able to use dark magic." Aladdin explained while Natsu grumbled off to the side.

"Yeah, some idiot from Eisenwald-"

Just then Erza gave the pinkette a huge slap across his face that sent him flying. Aladdin squeaked while Lucy let out a short yelp.

"Eisenwald is what we're after! Did you two not here it when I explained?!"

Aladdin shifted to hide behind Grey so he wouldn't get any attention shifted toward him. He lets out a nervous laugh when the red head looked at him.

"This wizard, what did he look like Aladdin?" She demanded. Aladdin narrowed his eyes in thought. "Nothing special. I noticed that he had a flute with him, it had a skull on the end of it. It had three eyes."

"That's. Disturbing.." Grey commented.

From beside him he took notice of Lucy's light shaking. "What is it, Miss Lucy?" He asked.

" A flute.. With a three eyed skull" She echoed with a scared look on her face. "I thought it was just a made up story. However, if that flute is the cursed song" He managed to hear through her mumbling.

Lucy then looked toward Erza, "That flute is Lullaby! Lullaby, the magic of death!" She exclaimed. Aladdin tensed up.

"I've only read about it in a book, but among forbidden magic, there is such a thing as "murder by curse" right?"

Aladdin had to keep himself from nodding because he too read it in a book. He would have to talk to Zeref about this.

"Yes." Erza answered, "Like the name, it'll curse the target and cast "death." It's a black magic."

Lucy shook his head. "Lullaby is worse than that-"

"It's a magic that puts the curse of 'death' on anyone that hears it.." Aladdin states manually. The group stilled.

"Everyone! Get in! We have to hurry!" Erza said through her teeth.

Inside the car, Aladdin bit his thumb. He knew he needed to ask Zeref about this, tell him what was going on. However, he was unsure why, but he did feel a twinge of guilt.

It was black magic, death magic, a magic that he and Zeref used.

Maybe he should tell them, but when would be the right time.

'You are stressed.'

He nearly jumped from in between Natsu and Lucy but played it off as moving Natsu off his shoulder when Lucy gave him a concerned look.

I'm worried, nii-san.

'I heard your conversation earlier.' Zeref admitted. Aladdin blinked.

'The only way to keep the curse from happening is to destroy the flute or seal it away. I think the first option is wise.'

Aladdin nods his head. 'Un.'

"However, it seems to have fallen in the hands of that Shinigami you companion mentioned earlier. That's the overall problem.'

A frown came across the little boy's face, which looked more like a pout on his young features.

'Do you know anything about the type of magic he uses?'

There was a brief paused and the magic car stopped. He looked over toward Lucy.

"What's wrong?"

"Some bandits took over the train and we can't cross. I think the magic police is on it."

'Wind magic. He uses wind magic.' He heard the other's voice in his head.

Aladdin nodded toward himself. Just then the car started moving again, faster this time. Aladdin lets out a small squeak as he was thrown to the side along with Natsu and Happy. The pink haired teen immediately threw half of himself out the window in order to relieve himself.

Lucy grabbed the Natsu by the back of his vest to keep him from falling out the cart.

"Erza! Do you know how fast you're going- Oh!"

The car came to a screeching halt and once again they were thrown. Erza quickly made her way around and opened the car door. "We must hurry, we're at the station."

When Aladdin stumbled out he could see the massive crowd of people. Erza was shoving her way forward, while Grey took Natsu. Aladdin held onto Lucy's hand the two tried to keep up with them.

It was at this time that Aladdin wanted to curse his height and the fact that he was stuck in a small body. He was being pushed aside too easily. With a huff he held Lucy's hand tighter and took flight, startling the blonde.

"W-WHA-?"

"Gomen, Miss Lucy, but I didn't want to get trampled." He whined. He was happy that he learned gravity magic and was able to reduce their weight to the point of flight. No offense but there was no way he could carry her without it.

"There's Erza-... strangling ...a conductor" Lucy paled and Aladdin held a nervous smile. He descended not too far away from the red head.

They watched as the young woman demanded what was going on inside and if the guards didn't give an immediate answer then she would head-butt them and move on to the next.

"A-A military champloon went inside!" One finally answered. "They've yet to come out."

"What about Eisenwald?" She demanded.

"We haven't seen them either! They're probably fighting inside!"

Erza turned around and began to walk up the steps then stopped.

"They're all defeated!" Lucy exclaimed as they looked toward the fallen military soldiers. Gray spoke up. "Of course, this is a wizard guild we're talking about. The military doesn't stand a chance." He mumbled. "C'mon, this way!" He motioned while dragging the salamander with him. They continued toward the inner station and Aladdin could see a train in the distance but they all came to a stop at the large group before them.

Gray passed Natsu toward Lucy. She tumbled as she wrapped the salamander's arm around her shoulder. Aladdin moved closer to the celestial mage. He began to have a bad feeling in his stomach.

The man that sat on top of the train, with a scythe draped across his shoulders grinned down at them.

"Hello Fairy Tail, I knew you'd come."

"I take it you must be Eligor?" Erza asked, glaring at the man. She took a step forward. "What do you intend to do?" She demanded, "Depending on your answer I might have to make you pay for it."

The other guild members around eligor laughed. "We just want to fool around. We've got and we're really bored." He answered with the wave of his hand. In a blink of an eye, he was up in the air.

"Don't you fairy wizards get it?" He taunted, a small burst of wind swirled under him to keep him in the air.

"He's using wind magic." He told them.

"What does a train station have?"

Lucy's eyes seem to widen as she looked toward the speakers, all train stations had them. "You're planning on broadcasting the Lullaby?!"

Eligor cackled loudly. "That's right blondey! There are hundreds- no thousand of people gathered at this station right now!"

"You monster! That's mass murder!"

Eligor laughed again. "Not at all, we're just cleaning up those fools who are living and enjoying their rights. Not knowing that there are people who have been revoked their rights!"

A sickly smile came across Eligor's face. "Thus, I, Eligor, the Shinigami, has come to punish them!"

"This punishment shall be called 'death." He explained as he sat on a ledge above everyone.

"You won't have your rights back if you do that!" Aladdin tells him, seriously It didn't make sense.

"Besides, you're the bad guy here! That's disgusting." Lucy added.

Eligor seemed to ignore them, "Now that we've come this far, we now seek authority. If we have 'authority' we can simply wipe off the past and control the future!"

"You're a fool!" Lucy yelled.

"What a shame for you flies." A familiar voice spoke up. Aladdin instantly recognized it as the man that him and Natsu encountered on the train.

"That voice.." Natsu mumbled, waking from his stupor.

"That you call can't experience the dark age!" A shadowed hand shot out from the ground toward Lucy's direction.

It was countered by Natsu's fire. The Salamander seemed to snarl at the dark mage. "I remember that voice." He growled out, fist blazing.

"You're awake!" Lucy and Happy cheered. Erza and Gray seemed to smirk. "It's about time Flame Brain."

Aladdin looked up to see Eligor glowering at them. He wasn't fazed at all.

"Yeah yeah, we're on the battlefield now!"

Notes:

Can I be real with you all? I honestly do not want to right and 'friendship' battles. There will be a few but I refuse to write one with every fight, that's just a little too much.

I also too note that many Fairy tail fanfics take time during an S-trial, so I chose to start at the beginning.

I also like Eligor, kinda-sorta. Haha, I have future plans for him and many others. Also, Zeref will be helping A LOT. Haha.

Bye now~
