Hey guys, I'm back for another shot at this.
First of all thank you to everyone and their kind words about my first fanfic. This new one will be longer, no one-shot deal here.
Hope you enjoy it :D
Throughout the chaos and confusion that was going on between Fairy Tail and Raven Tail Gajeel finally made his way to the small blue haired girl lying on the floor, unconscious and wounded. Despite his own injuries he knelt down and carefully scooped Levy up into his arms, holding her close to him. He stood up, gathered up his strength and tried to make his way out of Raven Tails hideout with Levy. How could any of this have happened? He never should have left Levy alone...
PantherLily flew throughout Magnolia searching desperately for his partner, Gajeel. "Where the hell is he?" he mumbled. He could never find Gajeel when it was an urgent matter. Lily checked all of Gajeel's usual hangout spots but had no luck. Finally, after almost 30 minutes of searching, he looked down and saw the Iron Dragon, walking alone down the streets of Magnolia.
"Gajeel!" Lily yelled out as he swooped down to the dragon. Gajeel stopped in his tracks and looked up to his partner flying towards him.
"Oi, Lily. What the hell is the rush?" he asked the black Exceed. Lily hovered in front of Gajeel and looked around.
"Levy's not with you I see?" he commented and shook is head. "Nevermind, Master Makarov is looking for you...he says it's important." Something important? Gajeel looked at Lily and nodded and made his way to the guild as fast as he could with Lily following close behind. When Gajeel reached the guild he headed directly towards Makarov's office in the back of the guild.
"Wait here" he said to the Exceed. PantherLily nodded and took a seat at the corner of the bar and waited for Gajeel to return. Gajeel walked down a hallway and stopped in front of the door at the very end of it. He hesitantly knocked on Makarov's door, Gajeel knew this must have been something related to his double agent duty.
"Enter" Gajeel heard, coming from inside the office. He opened the door and entered, closing the door and taking a seat. There sat Makarov with his hands crossed, practically hidden behind the rather large desk. He seemed to have been waiting on Gajeel to arrive.
"I heard you wanted to see me Master. What can I do for you?" he asked the old, short guild master. Makarov closed his eyes and was silent for a moment.
"...we have a situation on our hands" he said to the Iron Dragon. "I take it you are aware that Levy McGarden went on a mission two days ago, am I correct?" Gajeel nodded but was wondering why this meeting was about Levy. "I received news from the client who sent us the request saying that he saw Levy being taken by several suspicious people...people from Raven Tail." Makarov said with his head lowered.
Gajeel's eyes widened when he heard this.
"What?! Raven Tail?! How in the hell could this have happened?! If that bastard(son of yours,) Ivan hurt her in any way I'll..." he shouted as he jumped up out of his seat but was cut short when Makarov raised his hand. Makarov looked at him sternly.
"As I had suspected, you and Levy McGarden have gotten rather close to each other have you not?" Gajeel clinched his teeth and turned his head away, "Well I must say that I am glad that you have opened up more, my boy, espcially to someone like Levy. However, I fear that she might be put at risk should Ivan find out you're a double agent."
Gajeel quickly turned to look at Makarov.
"You don't think that he's..." Gajeel started to ask but saw Makarov shaking his head.
"No, I do not believe this kidnapping has anything to do with you being a double agent. I have heard rumors that Ivan has recently been looking for some kind of artifact...something that would require deciphering from a person like Levy" the old Master said. "Then why take Levy? Why not any other mage who can read ancient languages and runes?" Gajeel asked puzzled. He could see Makarov clinch his fist "He more than likely did it to get to me! He knew taking one of my children would anger me more than anything!" he said loudly.
Gajeel's eyes narrowed.
There was a moment of silence between the two mages. Gajeel finally broke the silence between them. "What's the plan? How are we going to get Levy back without blowing my cover?"
