Erza immediately jumped back onto the Magic Four-Wheeled Vehicle and put the SE spark plug cover on her wrist.
As Lucy got into the car, she asked Erza in confusion, "Chase? We don't even know where they are, how can we chase them?"
Erza explained, "With so many of them moving together, their target must be very obvious. Someone in town must have seen them. We just need to ask around in town to find out their whereabouts."
"By car? Can't we just run there? If I ride in a car again, I'll die."
Natsu immediately looked miserable when he heard they had to ride in a car. He had already ridden in a car twice today, and it was the first time he had experienced two dark moments in one day. He didn't expect two to not be the limit, there would be a third.
"Less nonsense."
Takeshi kicked Natsu into the car, then got in himself.
Whoosh!
Erza stepped on the accelerator, and the vehicle drifted.
"Ahhh!"
Lucy didn't sit properly and ended up sitting on Takeshi's face.
When she realized she was sitting on Takeshi's face, she immediately became shy.
"Your butt is so big."
Takeshi rubbed his face, feeling like he had touched something extraordinary.
"Ahhh! This is sexual harassment!"
The vehicle, infused with Erza's magic power, sped along and soon arrived at the town.
As soon as they reached the town, they saw many people discussing.
"Have you heard? Something happened at the train station."
"What happened at the train station?"
"I heard someone robbed the train."
"Robbed a train? Who did it?"
"I know. It was a Dark Guild nearby called Eisenwald."
"Eisenwald?!"
Lucy and Erza's expressions changed when they heard the name. Wasn't this the Eisenwald they were looking for?
"Let's go! To the train station!"
Erza quickly drove the vehicle towards the train station.
Upon arriving at the train station, they saw that it had been surrounded by the army, and many people were constantly denouncing Eisenwald's atrocities.
"A man with a large scythe suddenly broke in with a group of people. They forced us all off the train."
"I left my business tools, which are more important than my wife, on the train."
"Those people hijacked the train? Why? If it were robbing money or a ship, I could understand, but what's the point of robbing a train? A train can only run on tracks. Even if they really hijacked it, there would be no benefit."
Lucy was very confused. If a train was robbed, as long as the tracks were switched before the next station, the train would be forced to stop.
Moreover, this matter had already caused such a stir that the army knew about it and would surely set up defenses at the next station.
Happy guessed, "Are they in a hurry to do something?"
Lucy, however, breathed a sigh of relief. "The army has taken action, so catching them is only a matter of time, right? We don't need to go."
This way, she wouldn't have to fight a terrifying Dark Guild.
Erza shook her head. "No. I have a very bad premonition. They are a Dark Guild, not idiots, and certainly not fools. So many people making such a showy move... They must be planning to do something extraordinary, and it's very likely related to that sealed magic."
Although there seemed to be no connection between them, she just felt there was.
"But the train has already departed for almost an hour. Whatever they want to do, we won't be able to catch up, right?"
"..."
Indeed, the train was very fast, much faster than the Four-Wheel Vehicle. Even if they drove at full speed now, as time passes, the distance will likely only grow.
Was she just going to give up like this? Erza was unwilling.
Just then, Takeshi got out of the vehicle and walked towards the railway.
"Takeshi, where are you going?" Lucy asked in confusion.
Takeshi stood in the middle of the train tracks, stretching his limbs. "Of course, I'm going to chase them."
When he heard of Eisenwald, he felt it sounded familiar but couldn't recall it immediately. Only when he saw them hijack the train did he remember this plot.
Lullaby, also known as the Mass Murder Curse Magic.
The reason they hijacked the train was to use it to travel through the Great Valley to the location of the regional meeting.
Then, they would use Lullaby's power to curse and kill all the guild masters attending the regional meeting.
Recalling this plot and understanding their objective, Takeshi's heart was filled with anger.
Although he hadn't been in Fairy Tail for too long, Makarov had taken great care of him, treating him like his own child.
Takeshi, being all alone in this world, treated Makarov as a father.
Now, a group of scoundrels actually wanted to harm his old man's life. Regardless of whether these guys could succeed, just having the thought meant they deserved to die.
Lucy asked, "Chase? How can we chase them? They've already been gone for over an hour, and they're on a train."
A train was the fastest mode of transportation. In an hour, they should be over a hundred kilometers away by now.
"Of course, by running."
"Run?!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
If he had said flying, it would be understandable, but when he said running, they felt they couldn't comprehend it. How could a person outrun a train?
"Full Body Take-Over: Fushiguro Toji."
Takeshi said nothing and began to transform into Toji.
Takeshi's gray trench coat turned into a black T-shirt, his pants turned gray, a black cloth belt wrapped around his waist, and he wore a pair of flat shoes. His muscles also subtly bulged, and his hair and facial features changed.
This was Takeshi's form after transforming into Toji.
Takeshi's voice was slightly rough, with the deep magnetism of a middle-aged man, and his eyes revealed that he thought he was the best in the world.
"Erza, you all can come slowly. I'll take care of Eisenwald."
Erza asked, "Takeshi, if you transform so early, how long can you last?"
Erza was the person who knew Takeshi's magic best. After all, they had fought side by side.
Takeshi's strength after transforming was incredibly powerful. But he had a very obvious weakness, which was what men feared most.
Not being durable enough.
Takeshi's magic power consumption was very high after transforming. In short, he exchanged extreme power for a large amount of magic power consumption in a short period.
However, once he over-consumed, Takeshi could even fall into a coma. Six months ago, he was in a coma for three full days.
"Don't worry. There's enough time."
Although the system showed that his magic power had only increased by one and a half stars compared to six months ago, in fact, his total magic power had increased by about ten times. Although he couldn't last long, it was enough to deal with Eisenwald.
Boom!
Takeshi stomped hard, and the wooden tiles beneath the tracks broke.
The next instant, he had already appeared hundreds of meters away.
