As the massive monster came hurdling towards both Mystogan and Ryuga, a woman was seen riding on top of it. Ryuga looked closer and soon realized that it was this world's Erza. However, he couldn't stare too long, as the monster had its mouth opened and was heading straight for them.

Ryuga, along with Mystogan, managed to sidestep the monster, as it crashed into the ground. Coming up with the only logical option that he could muster, Ryuga yelled at her.

Ryuga: "What the hell! You ruined our entire plan!" Knightwalker looked confused. "Do you know how long it took us to finally manage to find and infiltrate Fairy Tail!"

Knightwalker: "Wait, you were planning to destroy it?" Her stoic face was slightly puzzled. "Who are you two?"

Ryuga figured he would have to sell it while she's interested, so he said what every generic servant in this position would say.

Ryuga: "Don't you know who this is!?" He raised his hands up to Mystogan. "This is the Crown Prince, Jellal himself!"

Mystogan tried to motion for Ryuga to stop talking, but he was too late. Knightwalker pointed her spear towards Mystogan.

Knightwalker: "The prince was disowned by the king! On His Majesty's orders, if we were to ever encounter the prince again, we shall arrest him the same as a criminal and bring him to the king!" She pointed her spear towards Ryuga next. "That goes along with anyone accompanying him."

Ryuga turned to Mystogan with an angry and slightly bewildered look. 

Ryuga: "What the hell man!? You never told me you were disowned."

Mystogan: "I-I didn't think it was important."

Knightwalker: "Enough! You two are coming with me!"

She got off her monster and started walking towards them with handcuffs. It was proven that she still had respect for the former prince when she gently cuffed his hands in front of him. As for Ryuga, however, she roughly pulled his hands behind his back and cuffed him like so. She then spoke to him.

Knightwalker: "You're lucky the former prince is with you. If he wasn't, I would have beheaded you already." Ryuga looked back at her with a smirk.

Ryuga: "I didn't know you could be so aggressive with me, Erza~"

Knightwalker stumbled back once he said her first name, and she raised a dagger to his throat.

Knightwalker: "How do you know my name?!" 

She tightened the cuffs and pressed the blade to Ryuga's throat, slightly cutting the skin. Ryuga grew a blush as he looked back at her again.

Ryuga: "Everyone knows and fears the name of the Fairy Hunter."

Ryuga's plan to enlarge Knightwalker's confidence worked as she huffed and drew the blade away from him. Mystogan looked slightly unnerved by how realistic Ryuga's "acting" was. Knightwalker put her dagger back in her sheath and spoke.

Knightwalker: "Well, at least it seems you know your place. You're correct, I'm the Fairy Hunter, Erza Knightwalker."

Ryuga: "So that's her name."

Knightwalker: "I must bring you to the king now." 

She shoved Ryuga forward, towards the monster. As he somehow climbed onto the monsters back, without hands, Knightwalker guided Mystogan.

Knightwalker: "This way, prince Jellal. Let me help you up."

Ryuga chuckled at the difference between his treatment and the prince's treatment, but he understood why Knightwalker was doing it. Once they were both on the back of the monster, Knightwalker cracked a whip towards the monster, and it took off, flying in the direction of the capital.
