"Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!"
Kage, who ran away as soon as he knew the situation had been messed up and was also entrusted a mission by Erigor to kill all the guild masters with the Lullaby, couldn't help but feel nervous and fear as he thought of the power of those shitty legal guild members!
Yes, when he saw the power of the Fairy Tail mages, he was extremely powerless, thinking of how weak he was, realizing the difference in their power.
Yet, this is what made him even more frustrated and angry!
"WHY?!"
Why was he the one who stayed in the darkness, as he could kill anyone he wished to be the weak?
If he was so weak, then what was the point of his sacrifices?
As Kage thought that he had to receive the hatred of many, hiding in the dark like a dirty rat, and felt afraid of being hunted by the members of the Magic Council, armies, and all the mages of the legal guild, his mind became even more distorted!
Why did he have to receive this treatment?
Was he so bad just because he killed people?
What was the difference between him and them, who treated him and those from the Dark Guild like a rat in the gutter!
'I won't forgive them! I won't forgive them! I won't forgive them!'
The thought of them being able to live well, yet Kage had to live like a shitty life like this, he would make all them pay for what they have done and he would pull them into the shitty world like where he lived!
"Hahahahaha!"
Soon, Kage saw the place where the meeting of all the guild masters was held. Holding the evil flute, Lullaby's eyes were filled with a killing intent, ready to destroy everything!
"Finally, I have arrived! I will do it! I will—"
"What are you doing?"
"?!"
Kage was startled, and felt tense, nervous, thinking that the Fairy Tail mages had come to catch him, but fortunately, what he saw was only an short eldery man, who was drunk and reading a porn magazine.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Ah, no, no! You can't take my porn magazine! I haven't finished yet!"
"..." Kage.
"But if you really want to read it, then... I will reluctantly give it to you..."
Yet, even so, the elderly man, Makarov, showed an extreme reluctant expression as he tried to give the porn magazine to Kage.
"....." Kage.
"No, no. I don't need that..."
"Really? You sure? You won't regret it?"
"Y-Yes, I am sure." Kage showed a polite fake smile toward Makarov, especially when he could tell that Makarov was the guild master of the Fairy Tail, from the symbol of tattoo and clothes that appeared similar to a fairy. 'Those despicable fairies!'
If Kage killed their guild master, what would they do?
As he thought so, Kage smiled and said, "By the way, I am a traveling musician. Do you want to hear my music?"
"Eh? Music?"
"Yes, I play the flute!" Kage then showed the Lullaby on his hand, the evil, cursed flute that would kill those who heard the music that played from it, except for the user.
"What a creepy flute!"
"It's just the design, but it has a beautiful noise." Kage showed a helpless expression as he begged. "Just a single song. How about it?"
"Well, if it's just a single song..." Makarov hesitated, but then he nodded. "But only a single song, okay? If it's bad, I will punish you!"
"Okay, okay. Please listen to this song!"
Kage put the flute to his mouth, ready to blow it, killing Makarov to cause an intense sadness to those Fairy Tail members, but when he was about to do it, a hesitation started to form within his heart.
Originally, the reason why everyone sought the Lullaby was to have revenge on this world, especially those legal guilds that were known as a docile place where the naive and weak lived together.
Those legal guilds weren't their opponents, the Dark Guild, who had been dancing and fighting with their blood and tears!
Yet, why were the legal guilds the ones that were given respect and love by many?
Why weren't they, the Dark Guild, receiving such treatment?
So, they tried to use this Lullaby to wake those weaklings, who were still in the land of dreams, thinking that kindness and love could change everything!
By killing all the guild masters of the legal guilds with the Lullaby, Kage would make the world realise its mistake!
Yet, would everything really change?
Would he be able to gain all the glory and love that he sought after?
Would... Mirajane, the most popular woman in this country, looked in his direction after he did this.
"....."
The answer was obvious—
'No.'
"What's wrong? Are you not going to play it?"
Kage looked at Makarov, his expression tense, when he saw that Makarov's expression had changed, realizing that Makarov had realized who he was, but—
"Nothing will change even if you play that flute."
"....." Kage.
"The weak will stay weak..."
Makarov started his speech about Nakama and everything, telling Kage that it was wrong to rely on the flute, but when he was about to say all of that—
"MASTEEERRRR!!!"
"Huh?" 2x
When Kage and Makarov turned, a blazing scarlet figure was seen. Yet before they could tell what it was, all of a sudden, Kage was beaten!
"Guwegh!!!"
Kage was directly blown away as his body crashed into several trees, then passed out. Still, before he passed out, he thought that the Fairy Tail mage was as dirty as ever!
"....." Makarov.
"Master, are you okay?"
Erza, who had jumped directly and beat up Kage, quickly asked Makarov worriedly.
"..."
Makarov wanted to say that he was about to stop Kage with his speech, and what Erza did was unnecessary, but when he saw how worried Erza was and how exhauted Kira was as Kira appeared so tired, he sighed inwardly, thinking that his cool moment was ruined, yet he couldn't blame them as he knew that they were worried about him.
"What are you worried about? I am all fine!" Makarov thought of something, then looked at Kira worriedly, "Kira, they didn't destroy a city or two, right?"
"No, I was the one who fought, so everything is okay."
"That's great, then..."
"..."
Erza felt a bit hurt as Makarov trusted Kira more than her.
Yes, she might have destroyed a city or two, mountains, forests, and many other things, causing many losses to the guild, but—
"...."
Let's stop thinking, Erza thought.
"Kakaka..."
Only at that moment did the evil flute that Kage had dropped start to talk on its own. "You mages have no guts."
"Huh?!" Makarov was dumbfounded, but Erza quickly stood in front of him and Kira, knowing that she was the one who could fight.
"I can't wait any longer! I will kill all of you!"
As Lullaby spoke, its body exuded more smoke before it formed into a gigantic, grotesque monster that resembled an evil demon!
"Let me consume your pitiful souls..."
"Makarov!"
Naturally, with the commotion, all the guild masters who were hiding, watching Makarov, and trying to stop Kage, also came out as they faced this demon tensely.
Still, some decided to run away as they knew well their powers definitely couldn't do anything against this horrid!
Kira, who just wanted to rest, looked at Erza, who stood before him, and asked, "Do you need help, Erza?"
"No, this time, I will be the one who protects you."
Erza said with unyielding eyes.
While hesitating and feeling inwardly helpless, thinking that this young woman was as stubborn as ever, Kira nodded. "Then, I will leave my life to you."
"Got it!"
As she said so, Erza decided to give her everything!
"Hmm?"
However, Makarov couldn't help but look at the two strangely with a doubt and amazement, whether—
'No, no! It's impossible, right?'
Regardless, Erza started her battle with the Lullaby!
