Hello again! This is my brand new story Stormy Weather. This is the sequel to When Water and Lightning Collide so I suggest you read that first or else you'll be lost.

Anyways, on with the story!

Chapter 1: Breaking Out

Zander sat in his lowly prison cell, thinking. For six months he has been in this cell. For six months all he saw was drab, gray walls. Well, not anymore. Today was the day that he would break out. He had been planning his escape since the day that he had been put in this place. He had been making allies with some of the prisoners here. He had promised them freedom if they helped him escape. Now it was time. He would finally get his revenge on Laxus Dreyar. He would get his revenge on the bastard that took Juvia away from him. Zander smirked darkly. Yes, he would get his revenge, but right now he had to make sure that everything will be going according to plan. In ten minutes, the prisoners will be let outside. During this time, Zander will be standing by the fence, waiting for one of his associates. And then the real fun will begin. The guards will never see it coming.

Just like he planned, the guards announced that it was time for the prisoners to be let outside. Zander tried to be as inconspicuous as possible. His plan would fall apart if the guards were suspicious of him. He slowly walked over to the fence and waited. In less than a minute, Zander felt a body being pressed against the fence.

''Hello Yukkia.'' Zander mumbled, making sure that no one heard him.

''Right back at you Zander. So, how you holding up? It must be aweful, being in a prison and all.'' Yukkia whispered. Zander frowned.

''Yukkia, I don't have time for mindless chatter. Is everything secure?'' Zander asked. Yukkia smirked.

''Of course. Clay is at the base right now, setting up the rune barriers. By the time we reach the base he should be done.''

''Are you sure? I don't want my plan to end in failure. I have spent way to much time making sure that everything goes perfectly. I can't have everything falling apart now.'' Yukkia frowned.

''Yes, I'm sure. You're not the only one that needs this plan to be a success. I know what will happen if we fail. And to be quiet honest, I don't want to deal with the consequences.'' Zander smiled.

''Good. Now let's get started.'' Zander slowly moved away from the fence. He didn't want to be hit by Yukkia's attack. He still had his magic-resistant handcuffs on so he couldn't protect himself. Yukkia turned around and faced the prisoners. She raised her hands.

''Solid Script: Fire!'' Suddenly there was fire everywhere. The guards were caught completely off guard. All at once, the prisoners started running towards the fence, which had a gaping hole in it.

''Solid Script: Vines!'' Vines sprouted from the ground and wrapped around the guards, trapping them. The vines also broke off parts of the prison walls. More prisoners escaped from the broken parts of the prison walls. In less than five minutes, nearly a fourth of the prisoners from the East Wing escaped. The guards struggled in vain, trying to get out of the vines. But by the time that reinforcements came and got them out of the vines, it would be too late.

Zander and the escaped prisoners would be long gone.

OoOoOoOoOOoOoOoOoOooOoOoOoOOoOoO

When Zander was sure that they were far enough, he stopped. Everyone else stopped behind him.

''Why are we stopping?'' Yukkia asked. Zander turned to face her and the escaped prisoners.

''I just need to clarify some things. I am in charge. Whatever I say goes. Yukkia already knows this. So does Clay. Just because I promised you guys your freedom, it doesn't mean that you can run amuck. I have a certain agenda, and I will not allow my plans to be compromised. Do I make myself clear?''

''No!'' Several of the prisoners shouted. One of them pushed his way to the front.

''I will not let you push me around like a lapdog. The only reason why I agreed to follow you was because you promised to give me my freedom. Now that I have it, what's to stop me from leaving right now?''

''I know that you don't want to leave now,'' Zander said, moving closer to the prisoner.

''Because if you do, I will kill you where you stand. And if you don't believe me, then I'll just have to show you. Yukkia.''

''Yes.''

''I want you to bring those traitors so that I can kill them.'' Yukkia nodded.

Of course.'' Yukkia turned and walked away. She came back a few minutes with three men in tow. Their hands were bouind by vines and their mouths were gagged.

''See these people?'' Zander said, gesturing to the men.

''These people betrayed me. They planned on escaping while I was busy fighting mages from Fairy Tail. And they thought that they could get away with it. They thought that I wouldn't find out. Well, they thought wrong. I did find out and now they will have to deal with the consequences of their treachery. Yukkia.'' Yukkia smiled and shoved the men toward Zander. They stumbled and fell. Zander leaned over them.

''You will pay for betraying me. And you will pay for it with your lives. Galatic sword.'' A sword shot out of Zander's hand. The sword glowed various colors, the most prominent color being white. Zander raised his hand.

''No one crosses me.'' Zander said and in one swift movement all three heads were cut off from their bodies, spraying blood everywhere.

''Ew.'' Yukkia said, watching the blood come out of the bodies with disgust. She turned to Zander.

''Couldn't you have done this, uh I don't know, a little bit neater? Now there's blood on my clothes. It's going to take forever to get it out.''

''Stop complaining. Now,'' Zander turned to the prisoners.

''Does anyone have any objections to me being in control? If you do, speak now.'' No one said a word. Zander smiled.

''Good. Now that that problem is settled, why don't we continue to the base? It's going to be a long walk and I want to make it there before nightfall. Yukkia, lead the way.'' Yukkia nodded.

''Sure thing. Lets go.'' Yukkia turned and started walking. Everyone else followed. Zander smiled to himself. Everything was going according to plan.

'And pretty soon, I will get my revenge. I will see you again Juvia-chan.'

OoOoooOoOoOoOoOoOOoOoOoOooOOo
