Hi guys! I know it's been quite a while since I last posted anything relating to a story, but here is an AU I've been itching to write for some time now. I hope you enjoy!

Levy walked towards the king's chambers, clutching papers to her chest. It was time for her annual meeting with him, and she prepared herself for his stubbornness as he usually left the more tactile decisions to her. However she needed the king's approval to do so.

She approached the king's chambers and knocked politely. Silence fell upon the room she was barred from at the moment, and she heard the king call out, "Enter." Once the door was open, Levy noticed why the conversation had hushed inside. He had been speaking to his son and the prince's wife.

"It's just you, Levy. Thank goodness," the king said, releasing a breath of relief. Who had he been expecting?

"Your Grace," Levy said, curtsying as well as she could with the papers she held in her arms.

"I've told you before that those formalities are only necessary when in public meetings." He sat back in his chair and called Levy forward.

Levy came closer and smiled at her best friend as she did so. Who would've known her best friend would now be the crown prince's wife? She whispered, "How your work coming along, Lu-chan?"

Lucy chuckled at her friend's question and replied, "I'm almost finished with the next portion. You won't have to wait very long to look it over."

Levy rejoiced in her thoughts, grinned at Natsu on Lucy's other side, and turned to face King Makarov once again. "Are you ready to start our meeting, Makarov?" she asked, a grin on her face again after hearing the king groan in aggravation at the duties he was required to do. This was going to be another interesting meeting.

However in hell, the high commander of the underworld was fuming. How dare they prance around in their sky castles while they spent their entire afterlife in this rotting place. It was always way too hot, and everyone smelled of rotting flesh. They lived the pompous life in heaven. They wanted for nothing.

Gajeel spat upon the idea of those idiots in heaven. He hated them all. He only stole while he was alive to keep his father alive, then the bastard went and died. Yes, he may have went on a bit of a rampage after his pop died, but that wasn't bad enough to land him a seat in hell, did it?

"Gajeel-kun?" a soft voice called from behind him. What did she need now?

"What do you need, Juvia?" he replied harshly. However Juvia could see through his rough surface.

"First, Juvia wanted to check that Gajeel-kun wasn't troubling himself again," Juvia said with a pointed look.

Gajeel sighed and made to stand up. Juvia moved out of his way, and he began to walk away from the mess hall table he had been sitting at. "I'm fine, Juvia. You don't need to act like my mother."

"Is this something Gajeel-kun's mother would do?" Juvia mumbled, the hint in her voice telling him that he didn't need to answer her question if he didn't want to.

"What else did you need from me?" Gajeel asked, changing the subject.

"Oh! Juvia almost forgot!" Gajeel had to hold back from facepalming. "The prisoner that King Jose had brought in a few days ago is beginning to...change."

This suddenly caught Gajeel's attention. "What do you mean by change?"

"Well, he is an angel as Gajeel-kun knows, but recently his skin is losing its heavenly glow that come with angels and the others of heaven." She had a look of worry on her face that Gajeel had been seeing since this man had arrived. Who knew Juvia would get a crazy crush on an angel?

However Juvia wasn't quite done. "His skin is starting to transition to a gray color, and the feathers of his wings are beginning to fall off. Do you think…?"

Gajeel did not want her to finish her question. He had never seen this happen. Then again he had never seen an angel held this long in the underworld.

"Send a message to King Jose," he commanded, his tone transitioning to a more formal one. "We must have a meeting with this angel. We must find out what he knows about this."

"Yes, commander," Juvia said, instantly snapping into her true position as Gajeel's most trusted and well-trained soldier under the king of hell.

As Juvia left to deliver Gajeel's message to the king, his thoughts became dark and evil. A plan was forming, and it would definitely delight his king.

A/N: Can you possibly guess what his plan could be? Let me know if you have any guesses. Please leave a review if you wish, and I hope you enjoyed this first installment.
