Peek Into the Past (Fairy Tail Next Gen)

Episode 8

"Who do you think is gonna win-kina?" Cubi asked.

"Fairy Tail, obviously," Nashi replied.

"Oui!"

A picture of the Lullaby flute appeared on a scary purple background.

Narrator: Years ago, the evil wizard Zeref crafted a skull-shaped flute infused with black magic. It is known as Lullaby, for it causes those unfortunate enough to hear it to fall into eternal slumber. The battle for possession of this forbidden instrument is being waged at this very moment.

"What's with the history lecture?" Reiki complained.

"It's just to give us background information!" Emma snapped.

Natsu stood his ground despite the cruel wind.

Happy: Natsu!

Erigor: (evil laughing) Now do you understand, little fly? Your fire can never defeat wind!

"It can," Luke said.

"How do you know?" Rin asked pointedly.

"Because Dad still brags about it when the topic comes up."

Natsu: This is intense! It's like standing inside a typhoon!

Erigor: It's time to blow your flame out for good!

"As if!" Nova snorted.

"Yeah, unfortunately, Uncle Natsu's still around," Storm said.

"What does that mean?!" Nashi demanded.

"I was just kidding, Pinkie, sheesh..."

The wind sharply increased its force, threatening to knock Natsu off his feet.

Erigor: Now! Storm Shred!

Natsu dodged countless blades of wind. Then he tried to attack with his fire once again.

Natsu: I have to break through!

The wind shot him back down.

Natsu: I can't even get close enough to lay a punch on this guy!  Now what?

"You'll go berserk like you always do," Luke said.

"You're not wrong..." Nashi sighed.

"Oui!"

"Oh, shut up."

Title: The Strongest Team

Erigor: Feeling a little frustrated? Don't be too hard on yourself, you never had a chance against me. But don't worry, I'm going to put an end to this now! My soaring phoenix magic rips everything to shreds! Emera Baram!

Several dark magic circles appeared in the wind.

Happy: That's a dangerous spell, Natsu! Whatever you do, don't let it touch you, okay?

"Who thinks he's gonna let it touch him?" Gale asked.

"Me!" everyone replied.

Natsu looked strained while Erigor was confident of his certain victory.
