I always wondered what would happen if Ivan found out that Gajeel was a double agent. This is my take on it. Please don't be too brutal this is my first fic of Fairy Tail. Please if you see need of any improvements please tell me. They will help me later on. So yes I don't know where this would fit in the timeline but hey it fanfiction where anything can happen. Alright enough talking here is the intro of the story.

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN FAIRY TAIL.

Erza crept beside the wall making sure she avoided any pebbles that could cause even a drop of sound. She turned around and motioned Mirajane to follow with a hand gesture. The woman took a step forward making sure to follow the same careful procedure as the redhead. They were deep in the Raven's guild by now and there was still no sign of the person they were looking for. Taking a look around her surrounding Erza nodded at Mirajane.

They ran in perfect sync across the hall and down another case of stairs. They stopped and pressed themselves against the grimy worn out walls, taking a moment to collect their breaths. The redhead looked around and tried to determine where a prisoner could be held. It had taken them several hours just to get to the last floor of the Raven's guild. Before she could look, the sound of a door slamming open rang throughout the halls. Both girls shared a look and they each saw the fear in the other's eyes. Mirajane watched as Erza re-quipped herself and she nodded her head in approval to fight the oncoming stranger. They waited in silence blending into the wall as the person's footsteps got closer. When the person reached the stairs both girls held their breaths and waited to attack.

They expected to see their worst enemy in front of them. Instead all they got was a smirking "old man" who just laughed at their expressions.

"Hey ladies I didn't see you there" Gildarts said with a laugh.

"What the hell are you doing here this is supposed to be our mission" Mirjane questioned at the fellow S mage. She pushed herself off the grimy wall and stretched out her stiff muscles from being stealthy for such long hours.

Before the man could answer a fierce glare from Erza stopped him. "May I remind you two that we are on a rescue mission" Erza hissed at a low volume.

Gildarts smiled and waved his hand in a non caring gesture "No one is here I checked the castle twice already and this is the last floor"

The S mage stared at the two women and saw that he made a mistake in speaking. The girls were getting angrier by the second and not a second later a punch from Erza knocked him on the ground.

"Oi don't be mad because I can infiltrate a guild faster than you" Gildarts jokingly said as he pushed himself off the ground. Not paying attention to what he was doing the trio found with a horror that his crash had activated without his knowing. The ground beneath them crumbled into pieces and the three S mages fell.

When Erza finally found herself still standing on ground she immediately shot a glare to Gildarts for his denseness. Before she could scold him she saw in the corner of her vision, Mirajane's horrified face. She also noticed that Gildart's face was now solemn unlike his happy expression just mere moments ago. She turned and followed their gazes. She too felt her face express disgust when she finally saw the prisoner they were looking for.

Gajeel was chained to the wall his body unrecognizable with bruises and cuts littering his body. Erza also saw his right limbs were twisting in an inhuman way. There was a list of injuries that she listed mentally inside her head as she inspected him from foot to head. The list was getting longer, and the redhead felt her face falling with each injury listed. When she reached his chest she stopped and felt her stomach drop.

In front of her was Raven guilds symbol, carved painfully onto Gajeel's chest. But it didn't stop there, there was also one burned deeply into the left side of his face.

Just the intro so it's a lil short. Please if you see any mistakes please tell me, It will help me! Hope you enjoyed and please review :)
