Gajeel and Levy stood in front of a dragon. Levy's dress was torn and they both had cuts and bruises on their bodies.

"Gajeel-san are you ok?" Levy asked breathing hard. Gajeel nodded and ran towards the dragon. They connected and smoke surrounded them. Levy shielded her eyes and took out her magic pen. She wrote "iron" in the air and a huge thing of iron fell in front of her instantly. In a matter of seconds Gajeel was their with her. He took bites out of the iron and wiped his mouth once he was finished. Gajeel looked up at Levy and ruffled her blue hair.

"Thanks shorty." He said brushing some dirt off him. She smiled and nodded her head.

"I'll support you! I'm not going anywhere Gajeel!" Levy exclaimed trying to boost his confidence. He stared at her for a few seconds for than normal.

"Eh, what?" Levy asked forcing herself to look away. She heard a noise close by.

"I was just thinking of you as my-" he started to say.

"Gajeel watch out!" Levy yelled. An explosion went off by them forcing mounds of smoke to surround them. Gajeel reached for her hand but the force knocked them away. After a few moments of pain Gajeel slowly stood up. He looked around for Levy and found her leg trapped under a big rock. He ran up and threw the rock out of the way with little effort. Her leg was badly twisted and bloody.

"It's ok I'll put you somewhere safe." He said picking her up. Levy clenched her teeth to keep from crying out.

"I'm fine Gajeel. I told you I would be by your side right? Set me down." Levy said through clenched teeth.

"Shorty you really think I'm gonna let you out here like this?" Gajeel questioned as he dodged an attack from the dragon. Levy smiled and gave a small laugh.

"I don't think you have much of a choice. I'll find my way to you no matter what." She said cupping his cheek. Gajeel stared at Levy for a few moments and smiled.

"You're just as stubborn as me. So be it. I'll put you down. As long as you're ok I'm fine." He said giving his famous gehee. He set her down and turned to face the dragon. Levy grabbed his hand before he turned to leave.

"Good luck Gajeel. Kick its butt." Levy said smiling. Gajeel felt his face grow pink and he turned around.

"Please, this dragon ain't got nothin on me. I'll be finished in a matter of minutes." he said storming off and running towards the dragon. Gajeel dodged many attacks until he finally landed one on its back. He started running towards the head.

"If I can get its head this dragon will be no more!" he said running as fast as possible. He passed a bunch of holes on the dragon and plenty more were up ahead. "What is this shit? Maybe I can screw with it this way!". He got to the head and turned towards the holes. "Eat this you bastard!" Gajeel yelled bringing back his iron fist.

"Gajeel, no! Back away, now!" Levy screamed limping towards him. She drew the word "shield" in the air and a shield covered him.

"What is this?" he said right before acid shot around him. The shield protected him from the burning sensation that would have most likely killed him. The acid stopped and the shield disappeared. Gajeel turned to Levy.

"Thanks shor-" his words were cut thin by Levy's expression. The dragons attention was now on her. It opened it's mouth and Levy turned to run away. She knew none of her magic could block the beam heading towards her soon. Gajeel jumped off the dragons back and ran towards her. Levy's leg collapsed and she fell looking at the dragons open mouth.

"Gajeel I-" Levy cried. The dragons beam silenced her thoughts as it hit her body. Gajeel's face filled with horror as she reached out for him with tears falling down her face. The beam went away and Levy lay their surrounded with blood. Gajeel skidded on the ground by her body. She lay not moving as he stared and her eyelids.

"LEVY!"
