I'm sorry for posting this, as I promised I'd work on the LaLu one on my free time, but this story has just appeared out of nowhere on my mind and I could not not write it, you must try to understand. Also, there are times where there might be signs of yaoi between Gajeel and Lily, but it is all purely platonic, and I tried to make it seem so the best I could.

Her scent sent him to overdrive. Having her beneath him, having her feel every little thing in his body, was all such a beautiful, no, perfect, picture. Her moans weren't helping either, she kept screaming his name, begging for something more, something he proposefully wasn't giving to her.

Eventually, her prayers were heard, her brown eyes were staring wide-eyed, as he entered her. Warmth envelloped around his member, as the woman beneath him tightened around him, making a wonderful sensation indeed. There just was something missing, the blue-haired woman wasn't moaning as loud as she could, something that clearly had to change.

The tall, buffed man grinned and started to nip and kiss her neck, leaving behind some very red marks, as well as an even louder and lustier woman. It was truly remarkable how the usually calm mage would be able to scream so loudly a man's name. Fortunately, nobody was around the room or close to it to hear all the screams she was making. Nobody but the two of them was there to hear the almsot echo-like sounds leaving the little woman's mouth.

A mix of the words 'Gajeel' and 'Levy' was becoming more and more current, both just didn't seem to be able to hold themselves back anymore. They were just going at it like wild animals, and they couldn't seem to mind. This became even more evident when the man showed his row of teeth, as they sunk to again to the woman's neck, but this time leaving more than just a simple mark. This time, it broke the skin like a piece of paper and blood came out of it, painting both the teeth and the place where they were residing in a rich red, that started to change.

The blood started to contentrate around the holes, a small swirl forming, as a mark was made. What was called a 'Dragon's Mating Mark'. From now on, the two of them would be inseparable, like true mates between the beast's world. The blood finally stopped, making the shape of two swords sroosing and a shiled behind, the symbol of the Iron Dragon.

Now, there would be nobody who wouldn't recognize the woman as Gajeel's, nobody who would try to take her, they would smell his manly smell, feel the dangerous magic radiating from the mark, and see that the woman was taken. There would be no one coming between their way to separate them, as they were now a pair until the end of their days.

At least, that's what he thought.

It was now proven only to be half right. The mark didn't do jack-shit now.

Levy was dead.

Gajeel had decided the best course of action, the best way to protect the mage, was to take her with him when going on missions. When the two of them were together, there should have been nothing to stop them from defeating whomever it would be they had to defeat, but that just had to be an illusion, didn't it? That just had to be the product of their own carelessness and vanity.

Gajeel, obviously, wasn't trying to push his luck, and he wouldn't ever just take the woman of his dreams on S-Class missions, even though she had long since passed the exams. He didn't want to trust the description, and purely believed that doing a few more mission was better than sending them to a dangerous mission just because it would pay more. Levy would often say otherwise, believing he was just being needlessly overprotective, but would always forgive him, as it was, all in all, a better paid job that would put their lives in more risk than necessary.

The duo and their exceed, Lily, went on their next mission. It was a simple one that only required them to protect some guys cross a forest to reach another city. And it had been pretty calm. These kinds of missions were like that most of the times, it was just the client's paranoia, so there was no surprise when the city was at sight and there had been no kinds of struggle.

But that was a lie, they just had to be the unlucky ones.

Once they finally arrived to the city, they were immeadiately ambushed by what seemed to be, in Gajeel's trained eyes, a hundred. No, wait, make that two hundred, now, four hundred, no, five hundred. Gajeel realised what happened far too late, the two mages had been druged. He took too long to know that, as he saw, before his eyes, Levy fall to the ground, colour drained from her skin. Gajeel looked around, trying to be as attemptive as possible, and he saw Lily, also unconscious, being grabbed by the tail by the people they were supposed to protect. It had all been a trap, and Gajeel cursed under his breath, as he fell to the ground as well.

Once the Dragon Slayer woke up again, he was in a room, only lit by flickering lights on the ceiling. Gajeel processed the situation, until he completely flipped and tried to turn his arms into iron swords, so he could completely destroy whatever it was that was keeping him there, but he soon realised nothing was turning into anything. No iron was being created, no members were hardening, but the worst part was that the contact between him and the Dragon Mating Mark was broken, and he had no way of knowing where was his precious one.

He didn't know just how long had it been ever since he was stuck there. He was weak and sore and couldn't pull hard enough for the chains to break and set himself free no matter what he did. He suddenly smelt someone coming, though he couldn't hear them. Eventually, the door opened, and a familiar face showed up. It was Lily.

"Gaj- GAJEEL, THANK GOD I FOUND YOU," he screamed, even though he was pretty beat up, like Gajeel himself was, "Are you ok?"

"WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MATTER?! YOU FOUND ME, LET'S FIND LEVY!" Gajeel snapped, making Lily flinch slightly, but quickly broke the chains with the sword on his back.

The two quickly ran, Gajeel was still unable to sense his mate, but he figured, or hoped, since she was wearing the magic cancelling chains, the mark wouldn't work. He was indeed right, but that wasn't the only thing that was stopping it. As he found out at one of the last doors. He saw it, his loved one for six months now, on the floor, her clothes completely ripped apart, her skin a combination of blue and red, but no creamy white Gajeel was so fond off.

That was when his world broke apart.

Gajeel processed this slowly, before completely breaking down. He would get his revenge. He started to run again, leaving a shocked exceed behind. It was safe to say Gajeel was completely void of any rational thought, he was just looking for any new smells, trying to look for the right men, or any men. He would kill them. One might think the best way to go was to calm down and make them live through painful torture, but Gajeel wasn't having any of that. Any men, any women, any leaving creature would suffer under his wrath, if they could survive the first strike, than all the better for him, but he wasn't going to held himself back for such a trivial thing like prolonguing their death, even though the pain might be greater for them that way. That was just not how he worked.

But, in the end, all the people had already gone out the building, so he did what any man would do. He went to the city.

He, still void of any human emotion except bloodlust, was going to make them appear. He started attacking from house to house, from bar to bar, he was looking for anybody with a smell even close to the one in the building.

That was the basement of a public building, though. That meant there were a lot of people who went there and gain a bit of the smell, said people who were immeadiately cut down by Gajeel's blades upon his sight. The city was raided by the man and the survivors were getting too close to half the original population, even though, unknown to him, the true villains had gone when Lily was released. Nobody in the city could even see him before being immeadiately cut down, their blood spraying all over the floor and the man. After a minute, Gajeel was only a red shadow of himself, swinging around the buildings with iron ropes he made on the spot.

The town mayor tried to call any mages, and so, as they were the strongest, he immeadiately requested for Fairy Tail's assistance for the fastest man in the guild. Laxus, with his Lightning Transportation, was, therefore, the best mage for the job, as he quickly dashed through the skies upon calling. The guild had been informed that there was some monster going around killing any man or woman or even children he found, it had obviously made Laxus go at full speed.

He still took enough time for Gajeel to reduce the town's population to half when he arrived, the monster not showing any sign of slowing down. Laxus caught a scent very rich in iron, which he assumed had been because of the blood, not even imagining it actually came from the very Dragon Slayer from Fairy Tail.

Once he finally caught on the monster, he hit him full force with his lightning, making him stop to the ground. He got close to the man, and saw who was behind all of the murders. "Gajeel? Is tha- WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!"

"WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?!" he screamed, "DO YOU THINK I'M HEALING THEM OR SOME SHIT?! THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT INNOCENT, THEY'RE ANYTHING BUT! THEY HAVE TO BE-" Gajeel was interrupted by a current of lightning going thorugh his body, sending him to the ground. He quickly got up again and activated his Iron Shadow Mode, then sending one of his cubs towards the Lightning Dragon Slayer.

It was too slow, as Laxus had been able to jump before it could reach him. He coated himself with Lightning, as if using his transportation, and sped to Gajeel's body, who couldn't react and was grabbed by the blonde man. Laxus sent him to a building, never letting go, and once he arrived to the sky, he turned around so that Gajeel would be back to the ground and used his Lightning Dragon's Jaw, sending torrents and torrents of electricity with Gajeel between them to the ground, causing a cloud of dust upon contact.

Once said cloud cleared up, Gajeel could be seen, still up, almost unfazed other than some bruises here and there. Laxus looked surprised, he knew ever since he made a mark with Levy, he would have got stronger, a lot stronger in fact, but Laxus had also made a contract, with a woman with the same amount of Ethernano, if not more, so he should have the same boost. Why was Gajeel so strong, then?

Gajeel moved again, turning into a shadow, and started to roam on the ground. Seeing this, Laxus took protection in the sky, elevating himself using his lightning. In the skies, he tried to look for a moving a shadow, but he found none at first glance. Until he smelt something, something behind him, which made him turn, and there was Gajeel in the air, his leg already moving for a swift kick. Laxus took the hit, surprised at turn of events that unfolded, as he was sure even his Iron Shadow Mode had to stay on the ground, not like a real Shadow Dragon Slayer.

He had been flying and destroyed the building where it all started. That was when a new scent came to him. He could identify someone, someone who he knew would make Gajeel stop. As the building was already destroyed, he used all his strength to open a whole on the ground to the basement, where he could smell the place where Levy was.

He started running, and encountered Lily just staring at the room where he knew was Levy. He entered the room, shocked at the revelation. Shocked, but finally understood Gajeel's insane power up that made him able to replicate the Shadow's flying capability and resist to his lightning. He was fueled by the rage of losing his mate. His life partner. Laxus knew he couldn't imagine, and would rather not imagine his Guildmate's pain, and he also knew that what he was doing was wrong on many levels, but now the Lightning Dragon Slayer just couldn't fight the man.

If he lost his mate, he would blame it all on the city, who should have been atentive, who should have noticed suspicious movements, and would gladly electrify the whole city, he guessed that Gajeel was doing the best he could to give them the same fate. He looked to his side, there was Gajeel's partner, Lily. The exceed had befriended the woman as well, and was actually pretty close to her. So close, her death made him not even notice the commotion outside or Laxus coming in.

He remembered why he had come to the place and quickly sped to the roof. He knew, now, he would hesitate in defeating Gajeel, which might bring him to his own loss, but he couldn't just let him do as he pleased. Or could he? "I would do the same thing, I'm not in a place to stop Gajeel- NO, what he's doing is wrong, no matter what, killing is never an option. Especially if you're in Fairy Tail! You would know better than that, you would be better than that!"

He sped through the corridor, and arrived to the same hole he went through. Once he got out, he realised Gajeel was too far gone. He was no longer the strong man he once was. He was kneeling in front of him, the scent reminding him of the reason he started all of this. He was crying. He river of tears washing his face, as it dripped to his shirt, soaking it.

He then raised his hand, pointing a finger at his head.

Gajeel, after six months of training with his mate, had gained an ability, where his fingers would become iron needles, kind of like an ice picker. He could then shoot at buildings, making a metal rope connecting his hand to the building, allowing him to swing around with an amazing speed. He would use his shadow to be able to focus more on where to go. It was this ability that allowed him to move to everyone in the city and kill everyone in a record time.

It means that, now, he was about to shoot himself.


That's the end now, tell me what you thought of it.

Also, how many of you were fooled by the description. Bet you thought this would be a fluffy GaLe story, full of romance and wonderful stuff. Doesn't this just scream of fluffy bits.

I don't know how long it will take me to produce more content, it might take a while, but this is going to be a really short one, a three-shot at best.


Original Description (here if I change it and the next rant won't make sense without knowing this)

This will be the story of Gajeel after he and Levy finally became one, and after Gajeel claimed the woman as his one and only mate. Watch what follows to the group of mages, and see what happens to anyone that dared step in the two of them. Rated M for a small lemon at the beginning and some gore.


All right, so, after reading a guest's review, I realise that I put up what can be seen as a very misleading description, so allow me to defend myself: I did not know there was a tragedy category, I always thought Hurt/Comfort was the one to use in these kinds of cases, and I mean it when I say I would put it had I seen it, I just figured it wasn't there, I'm truly sorry about that; now for the description itself, if you read it again, you'll see it happens what it is there, this is set after Gajeel and Levy become mates, this is what happens to them in their future and this is the story about what Gajeel will do to the ones who put in between the two mages, and I did put the warning for some gore, and some gore was what you got. It's not that much, you have to admit, but it is rated M, some gore in it might be too descriptive to you. And one more thing, I am the one to decide how I word these kinds of things, and I decided to put it up like I did because there is a reality present in these kinds of stories that people just keep forgetting: If a mate dies, it's the end of the other; that is to say, the description, as I've already explained, is not that further from the truth, is just a truth you're not used to seeing, and you have to be, people need to realise the real danger of using the one-and-only-mate card.

However, if more people tell me to change the description, I will do so, gladly in fact, because I will have more opinions to work with.


Review, and I might get inspired to write this faster XD
