Narrator: After their return to Magnolia, the Fairy Tail wizards returned to their home-away-from-home that is their guild hall.
Fairy Tail: WOW! Claire you have a twin!?! | AND she's a Dragon Slayer too!?! | Yeah! I'm pretty sure no other guild has four Dragon Slayers!
Terra Grimm: Nice to finally meet you all...So...Who do I talk to about joining!?!
Mirajane Strauss: I'll get you set, sweetie!
Clairissa Suede: Hey, Mirajane!?! Think you can change my mark while your at it!?!
MS: Of course![She uses a Magic Eraser to take off her old pink mark on her left hand.] So! Where do you two want your marks!?!
CS: You go first Terra!
TG: Okay...I'd like for it to be on the back of my left hand...In goldenrod yellow!
CS: Same here! Except on the other hand!
MS: Okay![She stamps the twins respective hands.]
Grimm Twins: Thank you, Mirajane!
MS: Your welcome!
Loke:[Putting his arms around the Grimm Twins] So...How do you two ladies feel about a double-date!?!
TG:[Showing a video of their last “double-date”] This what you had in mind!?!
Loke:[Scared] AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!![He backs off.]
Wizard: Hey, Mira! Can we get three beers over here, please!?!
MS: I'll be right with you!
Wakaba Mine: So when are you and I gonna go on a date, Mira!?!
Laki Olietta: Will you leave her alone!
MS: Wakaba, there's one small problem…[She uses her transformation magic to appear as Wakaba’s wife.] You already have a wife!
WM: I hate it when you do that! It's SO creepy!
Cana Alberona:[Still a bit hungover] Ughhhh...Can you guys keep it down!?! My head's still killing me…
Macao Conbolt: Well drinking more isn't gonna make it go away…
CA: I cope in my own way Macao…
Natsu Dragneel: MAN...I'm bored...How ‘bout we go out on another mission!?!
Happy: Aye! It's a bit stale in the guild hall right now!
Lucy Heartfilia: Then get off your butts and pick one for yourselves!...I'm headed to the board and looking for a job for Me!…[She gets up, heading towards the board.]
Title Card: The Wizard in Armor & The Armorer"s Descendants!
LH:[While at the job board] Hmmm...Finding a Magic Bracelet...Breaking a spell on a cursed cane?!...Reading someone's love horoscope?!...Hunting a Volcano demon!?!...Geez, I had no idea wizarding jobs were so varied!?!
MS: Well, let me know if you find one your interested in taking on! The Master's away at conference, so I'm covering for him!
LH: What kind of conference!?!
MS: One for guild masters! Every once in a while, they all get together to talk about the state of things!...It's like The Magic Council, but not...Excuse me, Reedus!...Could I borrow a light pen!?!
Reedus Jonah: Oui![He gives Mirajane a light pen.]
MS: The Council, ERA, is the most powerful organization in the Magical World! It's only one step below the government! It has ten members, and it's their job to uphold all magical rules and regulations...And if a wizard breaks Magical Law, they would be tried by the Council...Then there's the different guild master leagues, which are local groups who work together! Then the individual masters...It's their job to pass on the decree of The Council, they also communicate with other guild masters on a regular basis...Well, I guess you can say they're the glue that holds all of us together! Which is a pretty stressful job!...
LH: Wow, I never realized that all the different Magical Guilds are interconnected like that…
MS: It's important that we cooperate with on another, otherwise the system will fall apart!
ND:[Lighting a fire for suspense] And then the guys in black would show up!
LH: *Squeal!*
ND:[Laughs] That was almost too easy!
LH: You trying to scare me to death!?!
MS: Seriously! The guys Natsu's talking about exist![Adding to the list] They're the Dark Guilds...They've chosen not to join any of the leages...They're the bad apples, and most of them are involved in Magical Crimes…
Griffin: That's where WE come in...Can I borrow that light pen?
RJ: Oui!
MS: Sure![Hands the pen to Griffin.]
Griff: Thank you![Adding Sorciers Sans Frontiéres to the list.] Although we aren't aligned with any league, The Magic Council has recognized our guild as a league in it's own right...Although we're technically more independent than anything...The Magic Council frequently employs us to gather intel on, infiltrate, disrupt, and/or eliminate Dark Guilds...Admittedly, we haven't taken out as many Dark Guilds in Fiore as we have in the other nations...But nevertheless...All Dark guild members who are wise enough, fear us...After all...The eleven of us dissolved the Stygian Heretics and the Hollow Litches…
Fairy Tail:[Utterly shocked] WHAT!?! | They were some of the core guilds of the Balam Alliance! | Those guys were beaten by your old team!?! | I thought the Saints took them out… | NO! It was a wizard with a silly name!... | And four of them joined Fairy Tail… No wonder they're scary as all hell… | I hear they make most S-Class wizards look like rookies!..
Griff: As a matter of fact...I singlehandedly beat twenty-five Dark Guilds all at once!...
Fairy Tail:[Utterly shocked]
Siblings Grimm:[Correcting] Actually, it was twenty-seven…
Griff: Really!?!...Must have lost count...
Levy McGarden: Wait! Are you...Fluffy, The Destroyer!?!
Griff: I loathe that name...But yes...I'm the one behind that legend…
ND:[Laughing hysterically] Fluffy, The Destroyer!?!
Who came up with that dumb name!?!
Fairy Tail: 😱
ND:[Realizing his mistake, he begged at Griffin's feet for forgiveness] I'M SORRY! I DIDN'T MEAN YOU ANY DISRESPECT! PLEASE DON'T KILL ME! I STILL HAVEN'T FOUND IGNEEL AGAIN! PLEASE!!!
Griff: Get up, boy!...I'm not going to kill you...That name was made and circulated by the Dark Guild World...As long as no one here mocks me with…”That name”...No hard feelings…
ND:[Grateful] OH!!! THANK YOU GRIFFIN!!!...Now...Lucy, would you just pick a job for us already! Before you become a female Nab!
Nab Lasaro: Hey! That hurts you know!
LH: You have GOT to be kidding me!...What makes you think I'd want to do that!?!
ND: Well, we are a team now, aren't we!?!
Hap: Yeah! And WE picked the job last time! It's your turn to pick! So get to it!
LH: Just forget it cat! As far as I'm concerned, our team has been disbanded! And besides, you guys didn't really need me last time, because I'm a blonde!
ND: Don't be ridiculous, that's not the only reason we chose you! We picked you because you're SO nice!
Gray Fullbuster: Lucy! I wouldn't stay on a team with that loser! You'll get plenty of offers from other teams…
CA:[Mumbling] Your clothes Gray…
GF: What was that Cana!?!
CG: She said, “Your clothes, Gray!”
GF:[Shocked at himself being only in his boxers]
ND: Jerk!
[With that insult, the rivals were head-to-head.]
GF: Did you just call me a “Jerk”, Dragon boy!?!
ND: And what if I DID!?!
GF: YOU MOUTH BREATHER!
ND: AT LEAST I'M NOT A COWARD!
GF: YOU'RE A SPINELESS WIMP!
Griff:[To Happy] I'm going to go out on a limb, that they do this all the time…
Hap:[Confirming] Aye…
Loke:[Arm over Lucy] Why don't you join the team of love with me, Lucy!?! Later tonight!...Just the two of us!?!
LH:[Confused] Eh-What!?!
Loke: You're just so stunningly gorgeous! I have to keep my shades on when I look at you!...Or I'll be blinded by your dazzling beauty!
CG:[Snarky] Hey, buddy! Blue Pegasus called...They want their crappy pick-up line back!
Fairy Tail:[Chuckles]
LH: Do girls REALLY fall for this!?!
[Loke sees Lucy's Keyholder with seven Celestial Gate Keys, specifically, her three gold keys. Loke of course, actually being Leo, banished to the Human World.]
Loke:[Scared] Your not a Celestial Wizard, are you!?!
CG: You look like you've seen a ghost, dude…
[Loke sees Clay's Black Gate Key.]
Loke:[Terrified] You too!?!
Hap: Yep! He's got a lady with a snake, and she's got cows and crabs and stuff!...
CG: Celestial Spirit crabs...Just to clarify...
Loke:[Freaking out] Curse you, fate! Why must you toy with me SO!?! I'm sorry but you and I can't be together, my dear![He flees Fairy Tail.]
LH&CG: What got into HIM all of a sudden!?!
MS: Loke has a bad history with Celestial Wizards…
CG: Seems more like he has a problem with Celestial Spirits…
MS: Rumor has it, he dated one!...And it DIDN'T end up very well…
LH: Well I'm not surprised...He-[Natsu was thown into Lucy, pinning her to the ground.]
[Muffled] Will the two of you just knock it off already!?!
ND: Natsu started it! I'm just follow through
CA&CG: Where are your clothes!?!
GF:[Shocked]
ND:[Mad] You were the one who was provoking me!..You dirty Slimeball!
GF:[Mad] OH, YEAH!?! What exactly did I do to provoke you!?!...You fire clown!
ND: You freaky-flasher!
GF: Pink-haired punk!
LH: Lame insults, you guys…
Hap: They start to run out!...
CG&Griff: That's a relief!...
Fairy Tail:[Laughing]
LH:[Chuckles]
CG:[Seeing Erza come, with an enormous horn] *Whistles*...Nice souvenir...
Loke:[Opening the door in an aggressive manner] SOME BAD NEWS!!!
Fairy Tail:[Murmurs of concern]
Loke:[Serious] It's Erza!...She's one her way here!
Fairy Tail:[Panics]
Grimm Twins:[To Clay and Griffin] Should we be worried!?!
CG:[Dismissive] Naaah!...Nothing we'd have to worry about!...
Griff: Clearly everyone else is…
LH: WOW! Just mention Erza, and the whole place freaks out…
MS: Well...She IS the strongest female wizard we've got in Fairy Tail!...And more than a bit intimidating…
CG&Griff: That's debatable…
[Erza walks towards Fairy Tail, her steps audible.]
LO: That's gotta be her!
WM: Those sound like her footsteps…
MC: Even the air’s gone completely still…
LH: Geez!...From these reactions, you'd think she was some kind of demon, or something!...
[The same depictions from before, reappear in her head.]
LH: I'M SO SCARED!
[Erza enters the Guild Hall. Stopping to set down her trophy.]
Erza Scarlet: I have returned!...Where is Master Makarov!?!
LH&Grimm Twins: Wow! She's pretty!...
MS: Welcome back Erza! The Master's at a conference right now!...
ES: I see…
Max Alors: So, um...What's that humongous thing you've got there!?!
[As Erza began her scoring of her fellow Fairy Tail Wizards, Clay was lost in his thoughts on Lullaby. Bringing him back to when he was three.
Flashback.]
Ayla Suede Grimm: You really for bed, Clay!?!
Child Clayton Grimm: Yeah! I'm ready!
ASG: Good!...Now...What lullaby would you like me to play for bed?...Clay?...
[The young Grimm was scared of that word. Having just came not too long ago from the library in Freesia, researching Magical Instruments. Earlier flashback.]
CCG: Hey Gordon!?!
Gordon Williams: Yes Clay!?!
CCG: What's it mean here by “Curse”?[Points to the word in a book about Magical Instruments and Sound magic.]
GW: Hmmm...Well...Curses are somewhat similar to magic in a way...But it's source of power is completely different...While magic’s source of power comes from our ability to process ethernano, curses source of power comes from the negative emotions of its casters…No magic can nullify curses…
CCG:[Reading] So “Death by curse” means...It can't be stopped!?!
GW: Not by magic, no…[Sees that he's reading about Lullaby.] Ahhh...I remember that flute…
CCG:[Shocked] WAIT!?! THIS THING IS REAL!?!
GW: But of course!...Your mother and I defeated an assassin whom wielded it years and years ago…I even have it under my front desk…
CCG:[Freaking out] IS THAT WHAT WAS HUMMING ALL THE TIME I CAME HERE!?!
GW: Calm yourself boy!...Or you might power the flute![He laughs.]
CCG:[Screaming] AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!
[Heavy breathing]
ASG: Clay!?!
BG:[Kicking the door down to Clay's room] WHAT'S HAPPENED!!!
CCG:[Crying] PLEASE DON'T USE LULLABY ON ME MOMMY!!! I DON'T WANNA DIE!!!
BG&ASG:[Confused] Huh!?!
BG: What are you talking about son!?!
CCG: Lullaby! The cursed flute! The flute that can kill you if someone plays it!
ASG:[Realizing. Under her breath] Damn it Gordon...Look...Although it's real...It's NOT cursed…It's just a really evil spell it makes...But it's safe where it is...That box Gordon put it in was made by your father!
BG: That's right!...I made it so that there's NO WAY it could activate while it's in that box...And Gordon has the key to it!...It can't hurt anyone!...As for actual cursed stuff...Look no further than my own coat! The Cursed Freesian den is what attracts the common lions in the area...Always every seven years, it curses seven lions with impenetrable hide...And claws and fangs that could tear through anything!...Even another Freesian Lion...Luckily for us...They usually pick off one another in the wild...Then the surviving one is usually hunted using the fangs from the fallen ones...But your old man did the impossible!...I killed a Freesian Lion with my own bare hands!...Shoved my arm down that big cat's mouth, punched through it's stomach wall...And, RIPPED OUT it's still beating heart...One day...When your old enough...I'd like to take you to kill one of those beasts...And use it's hide to make your own trophy!...How's that sound!?!
CCG:[In awe] Awesome! So! What time of year do they appear!?!
BG: It always varies...I killed this one the day you were born!
CCG: Wow!
ASG: I almost had a heart attack when your father brought in that dead beast!...
[Forward in time.]
CG:[Reading a book on demons, particularly about the Books of Zeref. To librarian] Excuse me, ma'am!
Librarian: Yes, sir?
CG: I'm a little lost...This book has knowledge on demons, even the Books of Zeref...But for some reason Lullaby is in here...I thought it was just a tool of death by would be assassins?
Librarian: Oh! It was!...But eventually the Black Wizard, Zeref, had expanded it's power with a living spell!
CG:[Knowing about living spells] Living spell!?!...You mean he…
Librarian: Yes, unfortunately...He created an Etherious Demon to possess the flute Lullaby...Quite honestly, talking about Zeref and his Books always gives me the shakes…[She shakes in fear.]
[End of flashback.]
Levy McGarden: Clay?
CG:[Snapping out of it] Huh!?!...Ummm...Yeah, Levy?
LMG: I just wanted to say I'm sorry for pressing you about...Well you know what…
CG: No, Levy...I should be the one apologizing for snapping at you before…
LMG: It's fine...I just wish our archives had more on “it”...I was going to ask Master Makarov...He might know something about “it”...But I guess he's at another meeting with the guild masters…
CG:[Starting to piece together a plan Eisenwald might use for Lullaby] MIRA! Where exactly is the meeting that Master Makarov is at!?!
MS: Clover. Why?...
CG: And where did Ezra say they were going!?!
LMG: Onibus town...Why?...
CG: Griffin! Get to Clover town as fast as you can! Claire! Terra! You're with me! No time to sit around and explain...We gotta go to the train station at Onibus! Let's go!
Grimm Twins: Ummm...They said they were gonna leave tomorrow, bro!...
CG: If that's the case...Griff! You should head to Clover town anyways...You'll be their last line of defense...Does anybody know where Erza lives!?!
Chico C. Hammit: Ummm...I do!...She lives at Fairy Hills...My dad owns the place...I can show you the way…
CG: Thank you Chico! I'll owe you one! Lead the way!
[As they're all in TERRA, Chico navigates them to Fairy Heights. Thanking her, the siblings head towards the dorm doors.]
CCH: Wait! You can't go in there! It's a girls-only dorm!
[Clay ignored her warning. Luckily for him, the dorms were fairly empty. Using his extra senses, he found Erza's room. As he opened the door…]
