The Lightning Strikes

***So this is the third chapter and I can't believe that I able to write stories without much delay in a week or two. So once again, enjoy reading and let's hope that Mashima-sama will hear us out to give GaLe a story together***

"The hell was that? I know that she cowers in fear to me earlier this morning but then she smiles at me like an idiot. I'm the bad guy here! Doesn't she remember it?! Oh well, I guess I should better go with the flow then. I have too many…urgh!" Oh no, my mind starts to speak for itself and much worse is I'm gonna' throw up anytime soon. So where is that fucking medicine she's talking about?!

After that four-hour torturing ride, though not really 'cause I took her advice and took that shitty tablet, I finally arrived to my destination. I remember what Master Makarov and I agreed upon. He's kind and compassionate and I do not intend to betray him. Since I'm having a hard time for the Fairies to accept me, I will use it as my advantage to make myself less suspicious.

I am in front of this huge door with the symbol of Raven Tail and I can tell for real that there someone on the opposite side of the door who is stronger than I am.

It's not my nature to knock on the door so I 'knocked it down' just by one swing of my arm.

"Oh!" he grinned with delight "look who's here? Welcome. Gajeel-chan" Ivan Dreyar, the son of Makarov, Master of Raven Tail Guild.

I grinned, showing my fangs.

It was just a short visit but I don't want to stay there. I just made an excuse that I need to go back to that crazy Guild. The darkness already carpeted the skies but the moon amused me for the first time. The heck that I'm talking about? I'm acting like one of those sissies! So I hurried and got in the train again. This travel is a little crucial now that I took two tablets from that medicine that the shrimp gave me.

I visited the guild the next morning and I intend to meet the old man about what I discovered. I'm starting to get used to the merry-making of the guild and that is the typical scene you will see inside. But the Master is not in the guild. The bastards called for the bar-girl (because she usually attends the bar), Mira to sing and I have a great idea to entertain them.

I chained Mira to the side of the bar and put on my best attire. Gihihihihihi.

"Colorful, colorful. Shooby doo bop". I started singing right after when the lights are on. Oh how I love their pathetic and shocking faces when they heard me singing, especially seeing that shrimp's reactions who has a hundreds or more expressions. Their jaw drops and I know, yeah I know, I am a great singer and musician.

"Shut the fuck up!" one stood and yelled.

"Yeah, get the hell out of there!" there's two.

"Goddamn it!" there's three and then chaos.

I don't understand why they don't like my singing, my style. And this Fire Dragon Slayer is getting in my nerves. And I gave him a piece of me.

"Levy-chan, will you sing again for this year's festival?" A boy's familiar voice asked the shrimp. I can only hear it since I'm busy giving and receiving punches with Natsu. Then, unintentionally, this punk managed to throw me away.

I saw the girl responded with a nod and smile.

"What? You sing Levy? And Festival?" the blonde girl, Lucy, asked.

"It is the annual Magnolia Harvest Festival. It is the time where the flowers will bloom to their prettiest. That festival will last in a month but the magic celebration and parade is only held in a day." Levy said.

"Levy will perform to us together with the Magical Girls." That Droy blushed a little.

"If you don't know Lucy-chan, the Magical Girls are composed of nine girls, representing the towns and villages that surrounds in Magnolia. They are the most popular girls that I've known". Jet is the one who talked next.

I didn't notice that I sat next to their table so I can hear clearly what they are talking about.

"Wow! And Levy is one of them?!" Lucy said.

"Well, it's not like that. Mira-san is the first choice but then she turned down the offer so I became the Magnolia's representative." Levy said who is a little embarrassed.

"So that means that you will need to practice more often?" Lucy said and Levy just nodded.

"We're rooting for you Levy!" Lucy along with Jet and Droy cheered her up.

But the shrimp is shy and a bit reserved.

"Che!, a festival?! I don't want to be part of it". I said bitterly.

"Oi! No one wants to invite you anyway". The bastard Droy said back.

"Gajeel-kun, you're song is good. I wonder if you can right one for us?" Levy retorted back. I irked and she looked at me smiling.

After that, I haven't found her and the two dogs that following her. So I went for a walk and familiarize myself in this town. As I wander somewhere away from the guild, I saw the shrimp alone.

"Yo! What's up?" I called.

She lift her head "G-Gajeel-kun".

Okay, I will take that as her way of saying 'hello'.

"Where are the two idiots that follows you?" I asked… but I don't really care at all about those two bastards.

"I left them". She said and then she chuckled.

Then suddenly her eyes caught something. She is looking far behind my back.

"Laxus-san?" she is unsure. I turned my back to see for myself the rumoured person, stronger in the Guild other than Titania, Mystogan and Gildarts, whom I haven't met yet.

"So this is Gajeel Redfox. How dare you step on the Fairy Guild that you once destroyed" Laxus said angrily.

I didn't answer. No. I can't answer. I know that I have earned a grudging respect from the people of that Guild but I can't truly have their acceptance. I can't answer that. That is all the truth and I am guilty of it. The shrimp dashed forward.

"Laxus-san, Gajeel-kun is trying to turn into a new leaf. He is part of Fairy Tail now and he is trying his best to earn our acceptance." Levy said in a clear yet small voice.

"Tsk!" Laxus reacted out of irritation.

But I didn't expect what will happen next. He released a lightning bolt out of his hand and aiming at Levy. Thanks to my eyes, I can predict where he intends to aim that lightning bolt.

Since I'm an iron, I'm a good conductor of electricity and so I felt in my entirety the effect of the electricity. It is exhausting.

"Gajeel-kun!" Levy sounded worried.

"Get away!" I warned her, or else she'll be roasted.

Laxus just smirked and turn his back on us.

And so I thought "why would he strike a Guild mate?"
