Levy heard Jet and Droy quietly talking over the top of her, sounding like water in her ears, she just couldn't make out what they were saying.
She cracked open her eyes, staring up at the Styrofoam ceiling, blinking slowly as her eyelids crunched against sleep dust and some dried blood that was missed whilst cleaning her up. Porlyusica was heard in the background grinding up something that smelt awful. She knew those smells well... And she knew that it was going to be unpleasant even if they helped her recover.
Levy turned her head. She squeaked, as the pain shot down her spine sending ripples throughout her body.
It wasn't a dream... It really happened...
She tried to turn her head again towards where Jet was laying. His leg's heavily plastered hung up above the bed. Jet's face was swollen with several gashes across his face. But he was quietly talking to Droy on the other side of Levy.
He stopped.
Levy was awake!
He Smiled
Levy was awake
"Droy, I knew she would wake up!" Smiling brightly, not caring that his cheeks started to reopen his recently healed wounds.
Droy laughed weakly, they were both so happy that their Levy was awake... and she smiling
She smiled back at Jet, struggling to turn over to see Droy as she did.
THWAK!
Porlyusica's broom hit the end of Levy's bed, rattling it. she winced but knew that Porlyusica was right... to some degree
"What did I say?! You must rest! But no you humans are all the same!"
She carried on mumbling loudly as she turned back around to finish off the concoction for Levy.
The three of them just giggled, It felt good to hear each others chuckles, Jet and Droy felt that they could sleep easier now that Levy had finally awoken. Their short amount of sleep had stunted their healing process. Only they loved her so much that they wanted to be the first to see her wake no matter how long that took they had agreed.
Porlyusica finished mixing and brought the mix to Levy, who knew distinctly to drink it all, even if it was vile.
The purpleish brown mixture moving around as if something was alive inside it.
It went down in the most revolting manner seemingly sticking to her throat and coating her insides.
Levy coughed slightly as she finished it. She looked up at Porlyusica worried that another Thwak was coming her way. But nothing happened. Porlyusica looked into her hazel eyes .
"Rest," she uttered quietly as she left the room.
Levy peered up slightly, as she saw Porlyusica was speaking to someone out in the corridor, but couldn't tell what was being spoken. Porlyusica departed completely as a blonde girl came bounding in.
"Levy!"
Lucy cried as she ran into the ICU where the team where recovering
"I heard your laughter ! I knew you'd wake up!" Lucy flung her arms around Levy smooshing her face into her huge chest.
Levy struggling to breath squirmed slightly in pain. Even though Levy was out of being critical by medical terms, she still felt like she would die from being suffocated by those magnificent breasts.
She inwardly sighed as Lucy pulled off and sat on the edge of the bed looking at the trio smiling with tears.
"Lu-chan" Levy croaked, "I-It was so ter-" even before she could finish Lucy put her finger to Levy's lips.
"Shh... Levy its OK." forcing a smile, Lucy knew what she wanted to say, but Levy was always smiling, always seeing the good in everything, nothing should scare her.
Natsu, Gray and Erza along with Happy
who was holding a fish with a bow wrapped around it for the three as a get well gift
walked in and stood around the end of the beds.
"I'm glad you are awake Levy, the guild will be pleased to know you are on the mend," Erza said sincerely
Happy flitted about and landed on Droy's pillow next to him, and started to munch on his gift
"We want you better" Happy meant to say, however it sounded more like "ee on chew mett err"
Gray nodded in agreement, the room filling with happy chatter.
Erza cleared her throat, looking directly at the Trio, the whole room fell silent as Erza seriously spoke, mentioning that Phantom Lord had been the ones who attacked the guild, referencing that they had indeed destroyed it when no-one was inside it prior to Team Shadow Gear's return to town.
Gray agreed, suggesting that because of the little reaction they had received, what was needed next, was in fact to send Fairy Tail a bigger message, one that couldn't be ignored.
Lucy looked sad and looked directly at the them. Droy bandaged up head to toe, excluding his eyes and mouth. Jet with swollen face and broken legs. And poor Levy. Her whole body looked like a war zone. Bruises, gashes, plasters, bandages all over her.
"They must of picked you three as you returned to town as an easy target" Lucy said weakly.
Jet spoke up, "But how could they of known that we were going to be an easy target?" he looked at Natsu, who up until now had said nothing and avoided all eye contact.
"Smell." Natsu said growling "if you are injured, and still bleeding. I can smell it. The blood is thick. And distinct." his anger started to boil
"Natsu. Calm down. We can't do anything about this. Just forget it, and be thankful no-one was killed" Erza said severely.
"How can I? My own family were attacked in an unfair fight!" He snarled, golden orange flames started to bubble and boil around him
"NATSU" Erza started to raise her voice.
It was no use. Natsu roared and ran out the room shouting about getting a metal face Kurogane. Gray followed after him trying to catch him.
Levy thought she caught something about Iron... No? Kurogane No..? It was just a mistake...That's all
It was just a robbery I'm sure he wanted to take my book...
It was super rare...
That man didn't realise how rare it was when he gave it to us willingly instead of jewels...
Lucy sighed and ran after the boys, Happy followed suit.
"Get better Levy!" she shouted as she was half way down the corridor, not noticing the stunned look on Levy's face to hear the name Kurogane again...
"Please understand that I will do everything in my power to get this situation resolved." Erza said menacingly, completely missing the point and running after the group.
Droy gave a uneasy laugh "that was fun..."
==[o0o]==
Jose sat in his Office, golden trinkets littered it along with priceless artwork, literature and sculptures. The tall ceilings hung huge paintings of himself looking noble.
One had himself offering a hand to a peasant whilst wearing posh attire. Another had him on horse back wearing brilliant golden armour raising Phantom Lord's guild emblem on a flag, as it flapped in the wind.
Jose was extremely proud of these paintings. Even if he never felt positive emotion towards any human being let alone knowing what generosity even meant.
His thoughts were becoming darker and darker as he waited, becoming more impatient at he sat at his huge mahogany desk, he tried to keep his thoughts occupied but each noise from the guild hall below was becoming louder and louder. Severely aggravated Jose stormed out his office slamming the double doors into the corresponding walls.
Leaning over the balcony to the hall below he stood watching for a moment sweeping his eyes over his guild members, tutting to himself as they sat, drunk, chatted amongst themselves, even a were few gambling, Jose spat next to him in disgust.
"ENOUGH!" He bellowed "We are here to work! Not to enjoy ourselves! None of you have brought in any real money! How dare you believe that you have time for such comradery! Get back to work! ALL OF YOU!"
He swore furiously at the stunned guild below they quietened down quickly. Jose turned around walking back to his office, his ears twitched as he still heard a few murmurs and mutterings going about the room below
"SILENCE! Get out all of you! Only come back when you have done something of worth to me! And then don't even come back at all!" he screamed
"That's not a nice thing to say to your own guild! Gihi!" The long black haired figure strolled in grinning wildly, his piercings glinting in the dim light of the guilds candle lit stone walls, dotted about in the rafters.
"Gajeel..." Jose spoke whilst staring murderously at him. "Heel"
The man called Gajeel grunted and sprang up to the balcony entering the office of his master. The doors slammed behind him, sending a cool shiver up his spine.
"I did what you asked, why are you so pissy?" Gajeel snarled at Jose, who said nothing as he rounded his desk and sat.
Motioning Gajeel to take a seat. Uneasy he obliged and sat folding his arms "hurmph - I don't know what more you wanted me to do - you wanted a war and now you have it!"
Jose still said nothing as he picked up his decanter and poured some delicious nectar into his tumbler. Staring manically at Gajeel. A small manic smile spread across his face as he started to chuckle his shoulders heaved as he through back his head laughing louder. Downing his drink, he slammed it onto the desk.
"You- you think I care ? " Jose's smirk disappeared turning into a distorted mess of fury "You took two attempts to get it started! Two!"
"I-I-" Gajeel stammered feeling like a small child in front of him,
"I told you to do some real damage - I told you to kill! but all you did was destroy an empty building and hurt 3 fucking weaklings!" He roared at Gajeel " you had better be fucking rig-"
The sound of an explosion Echoed throughout the hall interrupting Jose's rant. Gajeel ran out the office over looking the balcony at the scene below.
"Fairy Tail..." Gajeel's face lit up "Gi hi hi"
==[o0o]==
Natsu blazed off ahead roaring, a large dust ball followed behind in his wake, Gray sped after him with happy close behind as accelerated through the town. Lucy tried desperately to catch up to the boys but they were just too fast, as they tore through the streets. Erza had re-quipped to her Flight Armour in order to catch up with the pair.
Lucy stopped and bent over holding her hands on her knees breathing heavily - she wasn't used to this running "ahh! I need more exercise" she wheezed.
Panting away, she took a deep breath and started to run again to try and close the ever increasing gap.
The rain began to fall - slowly at first getting heavier and heavier. A crack of thunder roared over magnolia as lightning played amongst the clouds.
A blue haired woman was walking slowly towards Magnolia's hospital.
"Non non non! Do you really think they'll even be able to defeat us" a strange undulating man twirling his green pencil moustache matching his hair colour.
"Drip drip drop, Juvia knows we will win this war" the blue headed woman spoke softly.
The pair walked the streets and arrived the hospital that Jet, Droy and Levy were recovering in.
They pressed up against the wall as a strange orange ball of light flew out of the hospital doors, followed closely by a short black haired man with incredible physique... with no shirt? "Juvie!" she squealed to her self, he looked incredible even in the pouring rain, blushing profusely, she recomposed her self reminding herself that it was Fairy Tail. And she is here to do a job.
"Non non non, we are not suppose to be here Juvia-sama" Juvia ignored him. As Sol's head bending sideways as his body is rolling to and fro.
"Monsieur Sol. Please Wait" Juvia said quickly and liquefied herself and seeped through a crack in the window sill, dropping into a corridor opposite team shadow gear's private room. Sol had little time to understand but knew it must have be important.
Jose had spoken to each Element 4 member each with a specific plan to be set in motion.
"Non non non... Mademoiselle is always up to something..." Sol moved out of anyone's eye sight into the ground beneath him becoming the soil and waited.
Levy's bed was raised slightly so she could see both Droy and Jet more comfortably.
"I hope they can reel Natsu in, it's not worth it..." Levy spoke sadly her voice croaking slightly
Jet and Droy shared a glance and simultaneously said,
"You are"
Levy shook her head very slightly her azure hair flopped slightly over her eyes "I don't feel it..."
She was feeling damaged not just physically but mentally - she didn't even get a chance to try and attack but instead got winded and then side swiped.
She took a deep sigh and squirmed slightly from her broken ribs. Jet spoke up, almost as if he had read her thoughts,
"Levy, you are such an important member to us, even to the guild! Why would you even think you are weak. Every member has strong points and weak points"
Droy added "Without your encyclopaedic mind we would never of completed have the jobs we've had! You're incredible!"
Jet got more enthusiastic "you make me and Droy strong, and we make you strong - at least I hope we do" the boys shared a look and then toward levy as he trailed off.
Her eyes were closed whilst listening, when they had finished she looked up, she turned to jet and held out her hand weakly and he grasped it gently droy unfortunately couldn't really move but still could move his little finger enough so levy could hold that slightly.
Her face had a huge beam on it as she looked at them both, " I love you both too!"
Juvia watched intensely as they had their pathetic little chat.
What did they know of strengths and weaknesses?
They don't know what its like to be outcast.
she stared at Levy directly in front of her, as she was reforming herself.
Time to finish this once and for all.
