The Chosen Six...I Mean Nine!

It was a bright and sunny day in the city of Magnolia the birds chirping and singing, the citizens walking around the streets smiling. As always the city was never quiet because of a certain guild that resided in the middle of it, this guild was well known all around the the country of Fiore because of the powerful mages that made up this guild... and because of certain property damage that was bound to happen anywhere that these powerful mages went.

Our story begins inside of the guild's hall where everyone always seems to be having a jolly time, drinking, eating, and laughing expect for two certain mages that always had to fight ever since they were children.

"What did you call me you fucking popsicle brain?"

"You heard me you freaking pyro!" The two mages were bumping foreheads and baring their teeth ready to go full on out on a fight when suddenly...

"Gray-sama your clothes!" The mage looked down to see that he was only in his boxer briefs and began to panic as he didnt know when he took of his clothes.

"When the hell did my clothes come off?!" The black hair mage started to frantically scan his surrounding to see if he was able spot to his clothes anywhere around but he had no luck and sighed full of disappointment.

Suddenly a young woman with a slim figure, a maroon colored dress, large breasts and white hair came up to him with a big smile, " here you go Gray, we know to always keep a spare of clothes for you because this always seems to happen " she handed him the clothes and continued to smile with her blue eyes shining ad she did so.

"Thanks Mira nice to know I can always count on you."

From the other side of the guild hall there was a man with long raven colored hair, wardrobe that consisted mostly of the color black and had piercings all over his body observing what was occurring. His attention went off of what was occurring on the opposite side as a woman with short purple hair, a green shirt, and white long skirt put a bowl with a bunch of bolts and nuts on his table.

"About time you guys finally gave me my order," he said coldly not taking his sight off of the bowl he was now looking at.

"Sorry Gajeel but you know that the guild is always busy so it might take us a while" the other woman said apologeticly.

Gajeel began to gesture with his hand for the woman to leave but she stayed and stared at him for five seconds, " can I help you with something Kinana?" he asked.

The woman shuck her head and smiled at him, "Levy told me to ask you if you can help her moves some very heavy books from her dorm in Fairy Hills later." Gajeel rose and eyebrow and gave the woman a questioning look. She couldn't help herself but giggle, "don't worry she already asked Erza if it's ok."

"Aaand?" he added.

"Its completely fine as long as you don't make a mess." She then waved good bye at the mage and went on to a different table to give the people their food.

The man began to eat all the metal that was infront of him slowly savoring the flavor, "this taste like shit," he said under his breath so that no one would hear him.

Everything seemed to be peaceful in the guild as no more fights were happening which was something odd in this guild but suddleny the serenity was broken when Laki stormed into the building breathing heavily as all the other mages stared at her confusingly as they were waiting for her to talk when finally, "Levy has been taken from Fairy Hills!" she shouted in between breaths.

"No Levy-Chan!"

"What who in the world would take Levy?!"

"We must go and retrieve Levy!"

Everyone in the guild was beginning to yell and shout saying how they needed to go and rescue the poor petite bluenette when suddenly they heard a door slam from the upstair part of the building. Everything went silent as all eyes landed on a short man well over two feet accompanied by Mira the same woman that handed Gray extra clothes earlier.

"Listen everyone we will most certainly go to the aid of our young Levy but not everyone can go so I shall select only a few of you to go and retrieve her," he then stayed silent for a few seconds as every person of the guild began to whisper to eachother wondering who would be selected.

Mira getting annoyed with everyone talking clenched her hands into fists and yelled in an angry tone, "everybody quiet and let master continue!" as it was rare for this gentle woman to yell at them they all listened and awaited for the master to contiue speaking.

Master Makarov cleared his throat first and continued, " yes thank you Mira, now as I said I will only select a few people to go as I do not want the guild to be unattended. So to finish everything off the people going on this quest will be all of team Natsu alongside with Gajeel. Now please will all of you come to my office very quickly." He began to walk to the room where he'd had come from to wait for the mages he had selected.

"Levy-chan don't worry we'll bring you back to the guild I promise," said Lucy, a young woman with blonde hair that reached under shoulder length, wearing a pink striped tank top made up of different shades, light jean shorts and white sandals. It was obvious that she was crying about her best friend as there was tears visibly flowing down her cheeks.

"Lucy don't cry, we'll bring Levy back just watch," said a cherry hair young man that went by the name of Natsu Dragneel, he was wearing white bottoms with a black top that had one sleeve with the other arm showing off his guild mark, and finally a white muffler that he made clear was given to him by his father, Igneel.

"It's just that everything happens to Levy-chan and it sickens me because she always ends up hurt" the blonde said in between weeps.

"Well crying won't help Levy at the moment Lucy, so let's head up to master's office to see what he wants to talk to us about," said Erza Scarlett, she was known all around Fiore because of her strengrh and honor. She was easily visible to be Fairy Tail's strongest female wizard with Mira not to far behind. She wore a white collored sleeveless shirt with frills on it, and a dark blue skirt.

"Erza-san is right Lucy-san let's go an see what master has planned out for us," said a sweet and innocent voice. The voice belonged to Wendy Marvell one of Fairy Tail's youngest mages but also being one of Fairy Tail's Dragon Slayers. She had short hair that reached above her shoulders and her outfit was mostly white with a few red ribbons here and there.

"Right let's just go, " replied Lucy wiping her tears from her eyes, "Thank guys," she added giving her friends a warm smile that they all loved to see.

As they all walked upstairs Gajeel stayed behind, people were staring at him a bit dumbfounded as he hadn't moved since Laki had yelled out the incident that had occurred, "why, why the shrimp?" he felt his hands turn to fist and beginning to shake, "why couldn't it had been me who they took instead of her?!" he punched a wall near him leaving his fist mark on it causing some of the other mages to back away, "wait I know why, " he said "because they're cowards to go up against anyone else!" he shouted all this inside his head.

"Gajeel-kun" he snapoed out of his thoughts at the sound of a voice addressing him.

"What? " he responded coldly.

"Please protect Gray-sama, Juvia knows that he is strong but she still does not wish for the love of her life to be hurt." The voice belonged to Juvia Lockser, she was known to be a little stalkish towards Gray Fullbuster, Fairy Tail's ice wizard but she didn't do it to seem obsessive heavens no she did it because she didnt want her beloved falling in love with her love-rival Lucy Heartfilia.

Gajeel just walked away from her not saying a word and just waving good-bye as he walked up the stairs. He stopped a few steps up and didnt turn around "I can't protect stripper over there while I'm trying to save and protect the shrimp understood, so if something happens to him I'm sorry." Juvia nodded her head in understanding as she was one of the few people that the iron dragon slayer got along with and acually understood what he meant even when his words sounded harsh.

"Good luck out there," she shouted cheerfully, "Juvia knows you will be successful in this mission as long as Gray-sama is with you!" she added while waving good-bye everyone around her sweat dropped at what she had just said.

At the top floor there was two rooms one that was the infirmary where members who got hurt badly would be healed and of course the master's office. As they entered the room they could see a dark oak desk with a tall chair behind it, ontop the chair was Master Makarov Dreyar himself, Fairy Tail's third and sixth master and one of the ten wizard saints. He was a very small man that didnt reach up to three feet, he had barely any hair and what he had was white, he wore his wizard saint robe which was white with gold details on it and a huge blue symbol on the back. He looked up to see that all the wizards he had said early were there present to hear what he had to say to them. The old man gestured for his children, as he liked to call them that to bring themselves in and make themselves comfortable.

Erza was the first to speak sitting on one of the chairs opposite from him, "Master what is it? Do you have any hints as to who could've taken our Levy?"

"Levy-Chan..." Lucy said this quietly as she sat next to Erza crossed leg with her hands on her lap and both trembling.

"We aint got time to just sit here and talk!" shouted a voice from behind. Everyone turned around to see the man who had said that. It was Gajeel with a furious face, "I don't know about you guys but I ain't gonna stand here and loose time! I'm going out right now to save Shrimp if it's the last thing I do!" he added.

"Will you let me explain myself first!" shouted the master back at him slamming a hand on his desk. Gajeel tensed himself up to hearing the old man yell at him. Makarov calmed down and continued, "Very well," he added he reached to grab a letter from the drawer inside his desk and put it on top for everyone to see, "I recieved this letter a few moments before Laki had walked in to give us the unfortunate news, it says that they have Levy and are looking for a fair battle with them, that if we win we'll get Levy back but if we loose that they will keep her and that we will never see her again."

"What this is unacceptable!" shouted Gray Fullbuster from behind Erza. The red head turned to look at him nodding as to signal that she agreed.

"Master we'll bring Levy back to the guild so she can laugh, smile and cry with her family that we are," everybody turned to see Wendy who was smiling and had a reassuring look in her eyes.

"Can we know who sent this letter?"

"Yes of course Natsu," replied Makarov nodding his head, everyone gave him their full attention and awaited his answer, "the people who sent this are..." everyone waited for him to finish, "Yomazu and Kawazu, the two crooks who attacked Levy and brutally beat Gajeel on Tenroujima."

Upon hearing this Gajeel couldnt help himself and ran towards the master's desk, enraged he punched it and the looked straight into Makarov's eyes, "Tell me where those mother fuckers took her! I need to go and save her! I won't let them harm her at least not again!"

Makarov smiled of what was occurring right before him, "They took her to the outskirts of Magnolia, where we hid Lucy when..." he was interrupted.

"Yea I know where now." He left the building and started to head out to his destination. He slammed the door with all his strength as everyone else watched him.

Wendy was the first to speak, " If I may say so, if its only two people why are you sending six of us..." she stopped remembering something, "sorry I mean nine of us." she finished smiling at the three exceeds that were present in the room with them.

"Wendy my dear the reason why I'm sending all of you is because two of you will be fighting while the others try to escape with Levy with them while the crooks are distracted," he answered.

"Very well we will shall choose who fights on our way over there," the red head got up and began to walk away, "Master... I promise upon my blade that we shall bring Levy back no matter what." Everyone followed after her and Makarov couldn't help himslef but smile as he saw his children all grown up leave.

The six mages along with their winged friends were heading towards their destination running at full speed. Every single one of them with their own thoughts in their heads...

"We'll bring you back to your family Levy dont worry."

"Levy I have watched out for you since we were children and I willl continue to do so as long as we live."

"I may not talk to you as much but you're still a Fairy Tail member and we're bringing you back."

"Levy-chan hold on we're going to save you."

"Levy when you come back I promise I will let you read to me anytime you desire some company."

"Shrimp, I'm sorry for ever hurting you! I ain't never going to do it again and I swear upon my life that I will protect you from any more harm!"

They were suddenly take out of their thoughts when then three exceeds all stood infront of them with a serious questioning look on their faces. The white exceed. Charla was the one who spoke, "Have you decided on who will be the ones engaging in battle?" she asked with her arms crossed infront of her. The mages all looked at eachother wondering who would be the right choice. The exceed sighed upon seeing as they weren't prepared, "Seriously you six how can you be so unprepared when we're talking about a guild mate?!" she shouted.

"Gajeel is obviously one of the ones that will fight," everyone turned to see Erza who was with her arms crossed, "he's fought against these two criminals before so he knows what kind of tricks they can pull off."

"They'll pay for taking Shrimp!" Gajeel shouted while crackig his knuckles.

Lucy began to slowly walk towards Erza with her head down, "Er-er-erza let me be the second person in battle please!" the red head could see that her team mate was pleading for this. Her brown eyes were watery amd ready to shed tears but she was holding them in, "Please I want to help out the most I can if fighting those two montsers is something then I'll proudly do it!"

Erza smiled and put her hands on Lucy's shoulders, "Very well you can go but be safe Lucy and don't you dare let those two beat you." The blonde nodded in response and a smile grew upon her beautiful soft face. "Very well that leaves Natsu, Gray, Wendy and myself as the search/rescue party exceeds included!"

"Right!" everyone shouted in unison and rose their hands and made the Fairy Tail hand signal.

"Wake up you stupid runt!" a small body with blue hair went flying across the room almost unconscious, "Come on if you die now our fun will be ruined!" the body was kicked once again.

"Aaaaaaaaahhhh!" she shouted in pain. Her hazel eyes were watery and her vision was nearly blind. She coughed and saw that a blood had come out. She looked up to see if she could see who her kidnappers were but nothing her vision was just too damaged, "Please," she said painfully, "Please stop, I'm too weak and frail..." she coughed again.

"Did you hear that Yomazu? She wants us to stop hahahahahahaha peron!"

"It's just to beautiful to hear this little bitch pleading Kawazu!" a maniacal laugh followed after.

"Gajeel... I need you..."

Well this is the first chapter I'm going to make the whole GaLe/Gajevy thing advance slowly. Thus chapter isnt intended to focus mainly on Gajeel and Levy since its the start of my story but I will make it focus more and more on them as it advances.

Hope you all enjoy this story and that it please you!

Buh-bye for now!
