A/N Thank you Pikinanouart, Snow Kyubbi, Sutchu, Shiawaseness for the reviews, I'm glad everyone enjoyed my first fairy tail fic. Oh for the timeline it is after the Edolas arc and before the S-trial arc.

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN FAIRY TAIL!

'The trio stood there for a second staring at the the broken body. The air tensed and their bodies frozen for a mere second. Mirajane moved first as she dashed to the Gajeel's side and looked at the man. She listened and stared carefully, her face emotionless with limited patience. Her face fell from the frozen mask when the light sound of breathing was heard. For a moment she was terrified that they had to carry a corpse back to the guild. Now sure the man was alive she stared at the object that was currently holding the man against the wall. The chains seemed to go through the walls and were coiled around the man's body, wrapping itself tightly where the lining of them were clearly seen by dark ugly bruises.

She stepped to the side when she felt Erza behind her. She couldn't stand staring at the man's body any longer for fear of throwing up. She walked away a few steps and tried to take a few calming breaths. She was a S-class mage and she was NOT allowed to see Lisanna's body when she now looked at Gajeel's. Taking a deep breath and reminding her that Lisanna was waiting back at the guild, she returned to Erza's and Gilarts' side. The two were inspecting the chains and the old man was commenting about that something wasn't right about them. Erza commented about the uniqueness of how the chains were tightened around the right arm and leg but everywhere else was not as tight.

Mirajane watched as Gildarts tried to remove the chains by pushing some of his magic onto them. They watched as the man concentrated on not putting too much of his powerful magic and end up harming the broken body anymore. They watched in anticipation but were relieved when the chains fell a little loose after receiving the attack from the S-mage.

"Alright let's get the hell ou-" Mirajane was interrupted when a scream echoed throughout the room. Mirajane turned to see Gildarts backing away quickly when he tried to grab Gajeel but the chains jumped to life. She felt chills rack through her body when an eerie voice laughed throughout the room. The sound of Gajeel's painful scream and the laughter bounced off walls of the underground room. A shinigami peeked its way out from behind Gajeel's body and floated around the room carrying Ivan's voice with it.

"The more you struggle Gajeel-chan the more you suffer, so just be patient" The shikigami laughed as it now returned and landed on the chains. The chains immediately reacted by the shinigami's touch and the trio watched in horror as the chains near Gajeel's torso tightened. The man screamed in pain and futile tried to struggle against the chains. The three S-mages immediately jumped into action and tried to stop the crushing of the man's torso but their touch just made the chains tighten even more.

"Let go" Erza ordered in rage of not being able to stop the pair of hands immediately let go of the chains and the chains slowly stopped tightening, but they did not return to their normal positions. They realized how Gajeel's arm and leg became broken, who knew how many times the man tried to escape before giving up to the pain of his broken body. Gildarts' scowl grew deeper at the thought of the man having to just sit there as his leg and arm were broken relentlessly. He didn't think he could despise Ivan anymore than he did, but now the man would pay for this horrific act. The sound of coughing broke his thoughts and he turned his attention to the young man on the ground. Gajeel was coughing terribly and his face was getting paler.

His face was covered in a sheet of sweat and they could see him struggling to even breathe at the moment. He watched as Mirajane carefully tipped his head foreword, making sure to not touch any of the chains or the horrible mark on the side of his face. She felt her stomach turn when the smell of burnt skin wafted into her nose. She felt bile rise in her throat as blood dripped out of the man's mouth in heavy thick amounts. The smell was becoming too much but she waited till he took a breath before she tipped his head back to rest on the wall.

"Is there any way we could remove the chains without physically touching them" Mirajane asked as she stepped back in line with the other two. "I don't think transformation will help in any way but I can put him to sleep so he won't feel any pain" Mirajane stopped and bit her lip in nervousness but continued "in case the chains tighten again"

"I think putting him to sleep will be a dangerous idea" Erza commented but sighed as she stared at the chains still holding Gajeel."My sword I fear will only cause damage, and time is running out" Erza said solemnly.

"Disassembly magic" Gildarts said out of the blue. Both girls stared at him in confusion but waited till he continued. "I don't think Ivan saw this magic before so hopefully the chains won't tighten anymore" He stared at the two and with a serious tone said "When the chain is disassembled I want you to grab him and out of those chains immediately"

"Understood" Erza said her body already in stance to grab the man. Mirajane followed suit and they waited for Gildarts to attack the chain. When they saw the chain is cut into multiple small pieces they acted and grabbed Gajeel out and away from the chains. The chain only disassembled for a second before it began forming into one again and tightening at a fast pace. Thinking on his feet Gildarts grabbed the shikigami and threw it in the middle of the chain. He watched as the chain wrapped around the shikigami until it was buried under the chain. He spat on the ground in disgust at the man who was to blame for this and shook his head. He saw that the other two were already trying to inspect the wounds and by their facial expressions it wasn't good. He watched as Erza frowned when her hand came up covered in blood when she tried to feel any injuries alongside the right side of the torso that was crushed.

"We have to get him back to the guild" Marijane murmured as she ripped some cloth from her shirt and pressed against Gajeel's bleeding side. The man flinched from the touch but instantly froze and stood still. She could only guess that he learned to stop moving from when the chains tightened to just a mere move. She ignored the flinch and instead tied the cloth in a weak effort to stop the bleeding. She looked pityingly at Gajeel and tried to keep Lisanna's twisted body out of her mind. Taking a deep breath she looked at the other two S-mages and said quickly "Let's get the hell out of here"
