Two distinct figures walked down the dark soundless night streets with the street lights flickering as they passed by dressed in pure black suits both with darks shades and a black dress hat concealing their identity.
"I don't see why we need to beef up patrol." One of the figures spoke calmly hands in his pants pockets. "It's not like their stupid enough to invade territory at night."
"You have a point but you can't disobey that idiot's orders. He's usually right on these things." The other responded looking down at his hand watch. "Looks like patrols 'bout ove-"
The figure stopped mid sentence collapsing to the ground clutching his right shoulder aggressively to stop the pain he was experiencing.
"Gajeel?" The other figure asked looking back at the man on the ground.
"Get down!" Gajeel shouted lunging at the other figure to the ground as a shot rang through the soundless night grazing a building just behind the two. "We have to get back and report this."
"Right." His partner nodded as he put his hand on Gajeel's shoulder and in a instant the pair were a blur gone out of site in a mere second.
"Damnit." Was heard as soon as they were gone a figure then emerged from the shadows. "I couldn't get the other one."
"Don't worry hun, at least we got one of them to pass along our little message." A voice said. "Now let's get going and report a mission accomplished."
The figure nodded meekly at the voice's words and turned walking away.
"Master!" A loud screech ripped through the silent office that was occupied as the assailant barged in with a panicked looked of distress.
"What is it now?" The one presumed as 'master' answered calmly the back of his chair facing the assailant while viewing the night sky through the glass window.
"Gajeel and his partner just came back from patrol." He said in between breaths. "Gajeel was shoot in the shoulder, they didn't see anyone but suspect someone in particular."
"Sabertooth?" The master asked quietly in deep thought.
"Yes sir, we suspect it could be them after last weeks altercation of the guild claiming the same turf that we got hit on."
The master turned around in his chair slowly deep in thought. He revealed himself to his comrade with his hands folded under his chin and hat covering the upper part of his face. "How dare they attack us like that." Was the only thing he said before he took off his hat and slammed it into the desk revealing his pinkish hair and dark black eyes.
"Sabertooth's going to pay for that. Dragon Lord ain't going to back down without a fight." He yelled sternly standing up and briskly walking out the room.
