A/N: Hello there! Glad to see some new readers! Its been awhile since I've updated any of my stories and tonight its just because… well I don't have a reason. This story is undergoing heavy editing, so expect a chapter maybe once very one or two months, I know that's very slow but its the best I can do…sorry? I already have a rough plan down for the story so rest assured that I'm not completely winging it. I already have chapter 2 written and chapter 3 halfway done so those two should at least show up on time. Always check the Author's Notes because that's where I'll post all the information for the story.
Enjoy!
I glanced up painfully from my place on the floor at the corner of the room. In front of me laid Natsu, Gray, Erza and Happy. The only one still standing was Wendy, who was taking a real beating from Miyuki and his gang. They were just playing with her, they knew if they wanted to they could kill us all. But they had kept us around for days now, they would attack us until we passed out and when we woke up they would start all over.
I looked over at my teammates and studied their injuries more closely, it seemed Erza's theme of injuries was cuts, Gray's was bruises and Natsu's was burns. One of them had had, this strange blue fire that he couldn't eat, and my injuries were actually lashes from my own Flueve de Etoiles. Naturally I had cuts, burns and bruises all in lines all over me. And they would surely scar. However, they were fairly recent.
We had taken down all the mages, thinking that we had gotten all of them and had been just about to leave when shit hit the fan.
They were everywhere, and more just seemed to be appearing with every minute. They surrounded us and beat us with fists, clubs and the like. Under our visible injuries Team Natsu had also suffered broken bones as well. Wendy, who had just been thrown down next to me had no visible injuries so I assumed all of hers were purely internal. As I saw the blood slowly leaking out of her mouth and her arms and legs bent at awkward angles, I knew that I was right.
"What should we do with those Fairy shits? Do we kill em' and dispose of the bodies? Cos we're gonna have to get rid of em'. We're moving somewhere else to set up shop and we can't have em' with us." Hollered a grimy bald man.
"Kill them." My stomach lurched when Miyuki said those words.
With that grim command the same bald man sauntered towards Erza and grabbed her by the hair, yanking her up from the ground into a kneeling position. The pain woke her up, though she did not try to fight him off. He then called a couple of his buddies to grab Natsu, Gray and the rest similarly, and they dragged them off to some other part of the warehouse. I waited for someone to grab me, but instead the 'boss' Miyuki waltzed over to me with a cocky smirk on his face.
"Oh, no Honey. You're not going anywhere!" He laughed when he saw my expression, he then grabbed me roughly by my chin, and kissed me. It was truly disgusting, then he ripped Flueve de Etoiles off my belt and started to hit me with it, all the while smiling gleefully. "You're mine! But first I want you to see the fate of your friends." He kissed my already bruised lips one more time before dragging me to what was labeled the slaughter room. There I saw Natsu, Erza, Gray, the Exceeds and Wendy. They were all awake but not fighting, not even looking sad just… resigned.
Then the bald man from earlier threw Carla into a device that seemed to resemble a flaming bear trap. At first it was as if she didn't register the pain but when she did, it was torturous. She screamed and screamed, Wendy had joined in and their high pitched wailing joined together creating an unearthly croon that echoed off the walls.
I just looked on paralysed. Carla was dead… dying… I couldn't believe it. Everybody would be devastated, I looked at the faces of all the nakama who had come with me on this mission and they still had they same expression on their face as before just... A little more broken this time, one step closer to shattering. They looked like…like nothing would ever be the same again. It look broke my heart and I wondered if I had the same look on my face. I was enraged, I was infuriated… I was ready to kill.
I felt magic surge through my body, washing away the paralysis. I got up, startling everyone around me, but the shocked faces of our kidnappers soon turned to devilish smiles. Golden magic circles formed in my eyes.
"Lend me your power and come forth, gate of the Lion, Leo!" I called. Suddenly, there was a bright light. When it died down, standing there proud as ever was Loke who was staring at me with wonder clear on his face. I looked down at myself self-consciously, I was wearing a fitted suit, though the suit pants were only as long as short shorts, with thigh high stockings and knee high boots. A pair of feminine sunglasses sat upon the bridge of my nose and a rhinestone encrusted headband with a pair of kitty ears adorned my head along with a multitude of rings on my fingers.
I looked at the gang of mages and smiled, the sickeningly sweet smile I used on my old potential suitors before I rejected them. I growled, an animalistic noise that ripped its way from the back of my throat forward, that sounded like a lion. Some of them skittered backwards closer to the one that created shield's. In an instant I was behind the shield user and kicking him in the back, he smashed into a wall where Loke was ready to use Regulus Punch, instantly knocked out, I turned around to the stunned faces of the rest of the gang. Knowing I would need some brute strength I transformed again.
"Force Closure, gate of the Lion, Leo! Lend me your power and come forth, gate of the bull Taurus!" I shouted putting away Loke's key and bringing out Taurus'. Again there was a bright light emitted and similarly when it died down, I was standing there next to Taurus wearing the exact same clothes that Bisca normally did but instead of a gun in my hands I was holding a gigantic axe. I smiled again and hefted the axe in my arms, I instructed Taurus to protect my newly unconscious friends and try to salvage Carla's body. Strangely ecstatic for the upcoming battle, vaguely, and in the back of my mind I wondered at what cost this new-found strength would come.
Poor Team Natsu! I almost feel bad for this…almost. I had no qualms about killing off Carla though, I've always hated her as a character and she is also really hard to write, but sad!Wendy is harder, so I'm not sure if I've helped myself or dug a deeper hole ╥﹏╥.Contact me about pairings, because right now I'm not sure what I want. The story is general, so romance probably won't play a large part in the story anyway.
See-yah next time!
