Disclaimer: I do NOT own Fairy Tail, Hiro Mashima does! If I did, there would be way more Laxus and Sting!
" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Natsu's laugh echoed through the otherwise silent guild hall. He held his stomach and fell on the floor from laughing so hard.
Everyone could only feel bad for what was to come to Natsu. They knew what was going to happen next, so they all backed away and waited for what was to come.
They could see the lighting Mage getting angrier by the second with lighting sparking all around him and making the in the guild seem heavier.
Laxus clenched his fists and turned around to face the laughing fire Mage. Sparks of anger shot out of him in every direction as he walked over to Natsu and started beating him senseless.
Everyone just watched and sighed. 'He had it coming' they all thought. After Natsu lost conciseness, Laxus walked back to the request board he was at before he had been interrupted by the idiot fire Mage.
It had been a shock to everyone when master called Laxus into his office that morning. He was in there for only 10 minutes of yelling and arguing until he silently exited the office, slamming the door behind him, and walked straight to the request board.
When Freed had asked what happened, Laxus gave him a look that could Zeref to shame and said that the master had made him take a job.
Laxus always just hung around the guild and drank so master had made him take a job and get him out of the guild for awhile.
He couldn't take any S-class because Erza had finished all of that! That only left the amateur quests that were for the other fairy weaklings.
As soon as Natsu heard the news, he couldn't help but laugh. (A.N:Now we are all caught up on previous events!)
Laxus pondered over what job would fit him best but when he couldn't find one, he just grabbed the one with the biggest reward.
As soon as he had the paper, he just walked put of the guild without a single word, silently cursing the old man.
After walking silently for about two minutes, he heard Freed yelling to him.
He took off his sound pod and turned around to face Freed who came to a stop, leaning over and putting his hands on his bent knees, panting from running after Laxus.
Freed looked up at Laxus and asked, " Would you like me to come with you? I can help if you want." Laxus just turned around and put his sound pod back on. " No. It's just a simple job. I'll be back by tonight."
With that, he left Freed standing there and walked to the train station.
'Damn trains..' He almost puked at the thought of having to ride it.
He arrived at the train station, just a minute before the train left. Once he had bought his ticket, he had boarded the train and managed to find an empty seat.
He just sat by the window and looked out as the train started moving. He felt slightly nauseous due to his motion sickness.
'Damn! To think something so stupid can be my weakness' he thought.
He rest his head against the window and thought, 'Stupid old man! Making me do an amateurs job.'
[TIME SKIP]
He FINALLY found where the guild was that he had to take down.
It took him 2 hours to find the damn place because the directions the client gave him were shit!
'Go right, then left, then straight! Seriously?! How is that supposed to help any?'
The job request had said to take down the Red Dragon guild which was a dark guild.
'Must be one weak guild for this not to be an S-class job' he thought as he looked at the run down guild hall.
When he entered the guild, he wasn't shocked at what he saw. It was deserted. It was dark and trashed.
That's what he guessed it would look like from the looks of the outside.
He decided to look around for some clues, not that it mattered to him. He just wanted a reason to go back empty handed to the client.
When he searched the first and second story of the guild, he found nothing, no clues.
He tested the air by sniffing it. 'Smells like they just left in the past few days.'
He frowned and turned towards the exit.
'Well, no use sticking around.' He thought as he closed the distance between him and the door.
Just when he was a few feet away, he walked over a weak spot in the flooring and fell through the floor to the basement.
After laying there for a moment to process what just happened, he rubbed the back of his head and slowly opened his eyes.
He realized, he couldn't see anything, it was pitch black down here! He must have fallen at least 20 feet!
He looked up to the only source of light which was from the hole from where he fell and sighed.
He stood up and squinted his eyes, trying to make out anything. All around him was shrouded in darkness. He decided to just let his eyes adjust.
Just when he was starting to get used to the darkness, he heard a small whimper from his left. He then quickly took his battle stance, knowing he was at a great disadvantage in the dark.
He glanced over towards the sound and asked/demanded in a deep threatening voice, "Who's there?" He only got a muffled sound in reply.
He slowly walked towards the sound staying on guard, trying not to trip or run into anything.
He kept walking until he ran right into something cold and solid. 'Damn wall' he thought as he bit back a growl.
He realized how much he was starting to get used to the dark.
He looked towards where the sound came from and could just barely make out a dark figure piled in the corner. He walked over to it and crouched next to it. "Hey, you okay?"
He saw the figure move slightly, but not in a threatening way. He saw the figure's head look up at him and that's when he saw a gag in there, mouth.
He quickly, but carefully, reached behind there head and untied it. He waited for her to say something but when she didn't, he decided to speak up.
"What happened?" Laxus asked. The girl tried to say something, but when she opened her mouth, a sob came out instead.
She started crying, staying very quiet, and Laxus had no idea what to do. "H-Hey! Don't cry! U-uh... Don't worry. I'll get you out of here! Can you stand?" Laxus said as he tried to comfort the girl.
He didn't know what to do! He isn't good at being comforting. He just looked at her as she looked down, attempting to hide her tears.
She took a deep breath and stopped crying. "No. I was cuffed to the pipe behind me." She started as he heard the cuffs chain rattle against the pipe.
"They somehow block me from using my magic." She finished in a quite voice as she stared at the ground.
Laxus nodded and reached behind her. He grabbed the cuffs and pulled as hard as he could, breaking them and letting them clatter to the floor.
She quickly retrieved her hands from behind her back and rubbed her sore wrists which had red rings on them from the tight cuffs.
She quickly wiped the remaining tears on her cheeks and looked down at the floor.
When Laxus saw she was free from the cuffs, he stood up. He dusted off his clothes and looked down at the girl, still rubbing her wrists.
He took a step back to give her a little extra room when he heard his feet splash in a small puddle.
He looked down and a shocked expression took over his calm face.
How had he not noticed that strong metal smell before.
'Blood.' He thought as he looked back up the girl who had started to stand.
When he realized he was standing in it, he quickly jumped back.
"Are you bleeding?!" He asked worriedly as he watched the girl finally get on her feet.
"No." She said calmly, still looking down. "Now let's just get out of here."
She started walking to where he fell through and Laxus just followed, not believing her.
She lead them to the opposite wall and put her hands against the cool, cement material.
She guided her hands around until she suddenly stopped.
She pushed with all her might as one section in the wall was being pushed open, like a door.
Once she had successfully opened it, just wide enough for Laxus to get through, she stepped through and looked back at Laxus.
Laxus was so confused. First the blood and now the walls were moving, what next?
He just sighed and followed her. He would ask questions later.
Once they made their way through the door, they came upon a cement staircase that lead up to a door, hopefully the exit.
They climbed the steps and Lucy opened the door, letting in the sunshine as I'd poured through the crack in the door.
Laxus was more then relieved to see the sunlight. After being in the dark, he never wanted to go back!
Once out of the building, Lucy talked to Laxus, not turning around to face him. "I have to go now. Thank you." She said as she turned to leave.
"Wait a second there. That's no way to thank the man that just saved your life. And do have any idea who I am? I am Laxus! Leader of the Thunder Legion and Fairy Tails strongest Mage!" Laxus said arrogantly with a smirk on his face.
" Well I think getting you out of that hole was more then enough thanks! If it weren't for me, you'd still be stuck in there! And no, I have no idea who you are and I don't care!" She yelled as she turned around her head angrily to face him.
She glared at him for a few more second until she let out a hmph and turned her head back forward to look away from the arrogant, selfish, and cocky man.
She stood with her hands on her hips and eyes closed in frustration.
The girl sighed and let the anger fall from her face as she said, " Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be going."
With that, she took her first step to leave but ended up on the ground, clutching her stomach as she groaned in pain.
Laxus ran over and knelt by her as he briefly let his eyes scan her face no fore they rested on her arms, still covering her stomach. He gently pulled her arms away so he could inspect her injury.
What he saw wasn't pretty. There was one long, deep slash across her whole stomach. It reached only an inch or two above her belly button but you could barely tell by the amount of blood. It poured down her sides and stained her smooth, pale skin. It was still a new cut but it had odd coloration meaning infection was settling in.
He looked up at her, panicking for a moment and wondering if she would live. That thought quickly vanished and was replaced with determination that easily showed on his face.
" So that was your blood. C'mon, I'll take you back to my guild so you can be healed." He said as he reached down to grab her, studying her face for any sign of agreement.
"U- uh huh..." She managed to say breathlessly. She was having trouble just staying awake, how could she talk?
Laxus scooped her up as carefully as he could bride and groom style.
She gasped at the sudden movement and a light blush covered her cheeks as Laxus looked down at her giving her a puzzled look until he just shook it off and said, "Hold on."
Then, Laxus's whole body turned I to lighting, as well as Lucy's. She would have been surprise if she had noticed.
He used his lighting magic to teleport him to the outside of the guild.
" So, this is your guild... You said your name was Laxus right?" She said looking up at him curiously.
Wincing in pain as she spoke. Every breath she took hurt worse then the last.
" Yea." He said nodding his head as he looked down to her face. "But you didn't tell me yours." He said, looking right into her light green eyes.
"It's Lucy." Laxus gave her a quick grin." Well then, Welcome to Fairy Tail, Lucy."
That was the last thing she remembered before everything faded black.
