Yosha! Second chapter is out! Thank you everyone who reviewed/followed/faved this story!
I don't know why, but this is the only story I've been able to get any ideas for recently...weird.
For those of you who have read other mating-season based stories, I have several scenes that are based off other stories. And for anyone wondering, this WILL NOT become M rated. I do not and never will right M rated material. Sorry for those of you who are disappointed by that, but that's just how I roll.
To Lilyannnalu an o, DOUBLE REFERENCES! YAY!
CHAPTER 2
"Who is going after whom?" Bisca asked, looking through her sniper lends-scope, tracking the two Dragon Slayers running through Magnolia.
"Cana, Lisanna and I shall go help Lucy; Laki, Evergreen and Wendy are going to help Levy," Erza ordered, shifting into her Flight Armor in preparation for speed. "What are their positions?"
"Natsu is heading to his house; he's almost there. Gajeel is heading south, south east. I'll hit them with a Tracker Shot so you can see their position," Bisca said, then popped off two quick shots. Where she had pointed out the two guys, there were now giant flashing beacons about fifty feet over their heads. And they were moving fast.
"Let's go ladies," Erza said looking over her shoulder at the others, then contacted Warren about the plan, telling him that the boys had better divide up their efforts to help them as well.
˚ˣ˚ˣ˚ˣ˚ˣ˚ WITH LUCY AND NATSU ˚ˣ˚ˣ˚ˣ˚ˣ˚
Natsu kicked open the door to his house, nearly taking it off its hinges in the process. Quickly, he dropped her on one of the two couches (instead of a bed, he used a hammock for sleep, but that wouldn't work for what he wanted /./), then re-shut the door and placed the couch – the one that wouldn't be used – in front of it to barricade the door. The table soon followed after.
Lucy gulped, feeling the atmosphere around the Slayer shift to the point where it made her blush. Slowly, he turned around to face her, and needless to say, the look he was giving her had her nearly in a puddle on the floor. It sent shiver down her spine, and made a warm feeling present in the middle of her chest.
He approached the couch, not breaking eye contact with her, and she felt her heart skip several beats. Oh-God-oh-God-oh-God-oh-GOD!What the hell was she supposed to do now!? She had no way of escaping, her brainstorming session from earlier completely nullified by the Fire Mages' eyes in front of her.
He now stood only a foot away, but Lucy was too mesmerized by the redness of his usually hazel eyes to move. She did however notice his hand coming to rest on her cheek and his thumb tracing her lips. She closed her eyes, savoring the heat coming off his hands, unconsciously relaxing into it.
To the obviously testosterone-happy Dragon Slayer, he took that as if she was saying 'go ahead'. He brought his lips gently to hers at first, then what started innocent turned more desperate, neither one able to get enough.
Lucy's thoughts were muddled by a thick fog of lust…maybe she should just stop trying to fight it…yeah, this didn't seem so – NO! SNAP OUT OF IT! HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING! BAD LUCY! Her thoughts cleared, and now she was able to see the full scope position she was in.
Her arms were pinned above her head by one of Natsu's hands while the other was starting to make its way under her shirt. He loomed over her form and used his size to keep her down against the couch, so any struggle she tried was in vain. She blushed a very deep shade of red.
She blushed even darker when the table and couch in front of the door were tossed away and standing there was Erza, Grey, Juvia, Cana, Lisanna, Bixlow, and Max the sand mage. (I put Max and Bixlow in there because I did not want Grey to be in all alone amongst the estrogen while trying to help Lucy and Levy; I have no desire for Juvia to kill me)
Taking note of what their eyes were seeing, the rescue team all turned redder than Erza's hair, with Juvia shielding Grey's eyes. Bixlow and his babies just started laughing.
Erza, the mighty Fairy Queen Titania (just like Oberon's queen in A Midsummer Night's Dream, who was also a redhead and probably where Mashima got the nickname) went wide-eyed and started shaking at the lovey-dovey sight before her. She crashed to her knees, then started bowing her head repeatedly on the ground. "Please excuse me for interrupting at such a moment! If it would make you feel better, you can punch me if you want…"
"Erma! Mow ma moant ma nime! Kum zaeve mehhhhh! (Erza! Now is not the time! Come save me-!)" Lucy tried to protest, but that was rather hard as Natsu was still kissing her. Said fire mage did not like that they were being interrupted, and growled at the intruders, moving Lucy possessively behind him, finally breaking the kiss.
"Oi Flame Brain! Let the girl go and we won't have to beat your ass!" Grey shouted, activating his magic making the air around his fist fog up.
"So the cheerleader is hooking up with the fire brat? He liiiiiikes her," Bixlow laughed, his toy minions copying his last sentence.
"So you finally made a move on her huh, Natsu?" Cana slurred and then laughed hysterically.
"It would seem you are no longer Juvia's love rival," Juvia said, a slight blush on her cheeks as she fidgeted nervously looking at Grey.
"Um, guys? Can we focus on rescuing Lucy please?" Lisanna sweatdropped, noticing half their rescue force was misguided in their actions. It helped to get them back on track when Natsu shot a ball of fire at them. Looking at the fire eater, he had steam coming out of his mouth and his were glowing red like they usually did when he was very angry in battle.
"Fine, we'll save the cheerleader," Bixlow said, removing his mask to be able to use his eye magic on Salamander later. Juvia let her hands turn into water, Cana brought out three glowing cards, Erza materialized two swords, and Lisanna used her take over magic.
Max gulped, but readied himself to fight. This might take a while though, if Natsu had anything to say about it….
˚ˣ˚ˣ˚ˣ˚ˣ˚ WITH LEVY AND GAJEEL ˚ˣ˚ˣ˚ˣ˚ˣ˚
"Laki! Stop making those weird sculptures and help us with this!" Evergreen shouted, trying to get everyone in position so that she could turn Gajeel to stone with her eyes. Currently the purple haired girl was just making a vaguely humanoid form out of her magic and not helping at all.
"A real MAN helps with the fight! A real MAN lets his fist guide him, not his hunger!" Elfman shouted, running after Gajeel as the Iron Dragon Slayer scaled the walls of the buildings near him and then ran along the roofline. Levy was still trying to loosen his grip around her, but it was like trying to pry an iron bar out of position with her bare hands…now that she thought about it, that was exactly what she was doing. "And a real MAN doesn't kidnap a woman for romantic gain!"
Elfman was rewarded with a breath attack for that last statement.
Seems like Gajeel did not like being criticized on how he deals with his woman.
Levy and the others sweatdropped as Elfman fell to the ground, no longer able to help them in anyway. He did earn the title of being the second this season to be taken out by a Dragon Slayer in heat though, the first being Loke from earlier that day. Jet and Droy had soon followed, foolishly charging Gajeel and not adhering to the plan.
"Are you sure this will work?" Lily asked, Happy and Carla floating behind him. They were looking at the group of wizards getting their butts handed to them by one person with a handicap. Sad thing was that Gajeel was hardly using any magic to deal with them. And Levy was also using her magic to attack him from point-blank. To the Exceed, it did not seem like the plan was working at all.
"Yeah; just wait for Wakaba to set the smoke screen…" Macao said, and just as he finished, Wakaba used his magic to create a cloud of pink smoke centered around the Iron Dragon Slayer, temporarily blinding him. Evergreen dove into the smoke, and landed in front of the iron mage, moving her glasses and staring into his eyes as Wendy used her magic to blow away the smoke and let Gajeel see again.
Looking into his eyes, Evergreen she could not move a muscle, for the simple matter that she saw death in those chilling blood red eyes. She could see all the instincts inside a wild beast to kill and hunt swirling within those irises, and she was glad that they finally froze over into stone so that she didn't have to look at them anymore.
Shakily, she moved to help them get Levy down, and that was when she noticed what Laki had been making earlier.
"It's rather disturbing how much that thing looks like me," Levy commented as they put the wooden fake Levy in the spot on Gajeel's shoulder that the real Levy had been in a few moments ago.
"Heh heh, that just shows how good I am with my magic," Laki boasted, shifting her glasses up her nose.
"But why do we need that thing in the first place?" Jet asked, recovering from the blow he had received.
"My spell won't last forever; that will slow him down when it wears off," the female mage huffed, displeased that Jet had dared challenge her authority. At least in her mind he did.
"Well whatever the reason is, how long will the spell last Evergreen-san?" Wendy asked, looking up at Gajeel's hulking frozen frame.
The older woman shrugged and shook her head, "I don't know, a few hours at most,"
"But don't they usually stay frozen for as long as you want them to be?" Nab asked, remembering the Magnolia Festival a while ago. All the girls had been frozen until Erza had gotten Ever to lift the spell.
"When a male Dragon Slayer is in heat, only their mate can look at them in the eyes and not feel scared," Wendy explained, a pink flush on her cheeks as she explained. "It's supposed to scare off other suitors for the female, and as a result, eye-based magic's don't work as well as they should. We're also somewhat lucky that Evergreen is a girl, because if a male were to use that sort of magic on a Dragon Slayer when he's like this, well…"
"Uh, Warren?" Wakaba asked out loud, hoping the telepathy mage would hear them. He may not have been the most educated mage in the world, but he could see where the young girls was going with this.
"Yeah, Wakaba, what's up?"
"Bixlow went to rescue Lucy right?"
"Hai, he's helping them now,"
"Has he used his eye magic on Natsu yet?"
"No, but Erza was just listening in on our conversation is having him use it now,"
"Wa – ERZA! DON'T LET HIM USE THAT MAGIC!"
"Too late; he's using it already. What is the problem with him – oh…" said the redhead re-quip mage as she was undoubtedly staring at whatever scene was before her eyes.
"What 'oh', Erza? What just happened?"
"You guys were positioned to the southeast right? You should see in a second, now excuse me, but he just got a hell of a lot more aggressive," the female mage said, and with that she had left the conversation.
"How is the other team doing?" Levy asked, worried for her best friend if they hadn't been able to save her yet.
"According to Erza, Natsu just got more aggressive after Bixlow used his magic and that we should see in a second…"
"What does that mean 'we should see in a second'…?" Evergreen asked, impatient for a better answer. Unfortunately, no one could say what it was until a second later, when Happy, who was looking up at the sky, wondering about his partner, spotted a dark figure falling from the sky towards them.
"What is that?"
"A bird?"
"A FISH!?"
"No, you stupid he-cat; he said bird,"
"No, it's too big and it looks like a person…"
"Is that…BIXLOW!?"
"Q-quick! He isn't moving up there! We have to catch him somehow!"
"Calm down; I got it~!" Laki sang, and then used one of her weird spells to catch the unmoving form of Bixlow. His wooden babies were nowhere to be found, as well as his mask. He was foaming at the mouth, his clothes were burned in places, and his eyes were rolled back in his skull.
"What happened to him!?"Macao asked, disturbed by the sight in front of him.
"Wendy-chan, can you heal him?"
"Hai; it would also seem that he used his eye magic against Natsu-san, which is why he is currently like this,"
"Natsu did this? With just his eyes?"
"Erm...no, he used his magic. A male Dragon Slayer will take any direct eye contact as a challenge for their mate, so Natsu-san probably didn't hold anything back," the little mage informed them as she began to heal the Raijinshu member.
"So let me reiterate this...basically, right now Gajeel and Natsu are all high on their horomones, and any guy who looks directly at them or me and Lucy will be beaten within an inch of their life...?" Levy stated, paling and a blue tint coming to her face. All the guys gulped, and unconsciously took several steps away from the Solid Script mage.
"Oh, and since he didn't kill Bixlow-san, he will probably be here soon to try and finish the job," Wendy continued cheerfully, as though she didn't just predict the death of about half the Guild.
"EEH?!" all the males present shouted, breaking out in a cold sweat.
"Do you really think he's been able to beat Erza and the others?"
"Baka, even if that was the case, do you think he would leave Lucy alone just to come here?" Wakaba stated, only to be proven wrong as a giant ball of fire touchdown a few yards away from the congregation.
"NATSU! Did you really have to bring me with you!? Are you crazy!? Wait, forget what I just said, because I already know that you're insane! Now put me down!" screamed a certain blonde Celestial mage as she tried to free herself from a pink haired fire mages' grasp. She was in a position very similar to what Levy was in when Gajeel had taken her earlier...basically tossed over her Dragon Slayer's shoulder and carried around like a piece of baggage.
A second later, the team who had gone to pursue Natsu also landed, looking a bit worse for wear.
"I apologize; he managed to get through our defenses," Erza stated, the least injured in her Flame Empress Armor. She didn't even notice that she had landed on Elfman, who upon having regained consciousness, found an armored foot in his face.
"Don't worry about it; just follow our plan so that Evergreen can paralyze him," Macao stated, motioning to the others to begin.
"But when Bixlow tried that, Natsu went ape shit on him," Grey stated, not seeing what the difference would be.
"That's because of Bixlow was a guy; our resident fire idiot thought he was being challenged for Lucy,"
"I see; then let's start," Erza said, taking charge of the situation again. With the presence of the strongest team in Fairy Tail, subduing Natsu was much easier than Gajeel, mainly because Erza and Lisanna had managed to liberate Lucy (much to the blonde's euphoric relief) and then put him in a chock hold while Evergreen stared him down. And because he was much more enraged than Gajeel had been, his glare had managed to make the woman's eye magic less effective as a result.
So now, with two frozen Dragon Slayers in tow, the group of wizards made their way to the Guild, opting to tie them with magic rope to some chairs for when they defrost later.
This was going to be a long day.
And done! Please review for me, minna~!
