ShadowKurayami: Chapter three is on the way now.

Most of these will follow one to three worded prompts. Except one in the future, in which I will dedicate it to the person that recommended the prompt.

Script Mage's Tales

Chapter 4

Loss

"Grandpa…Makarov…" The blue haired script mage ran through the city as fast as she could. The runes were no longer in effect since Freed had been beaten and Laxus was being taken on. She just hoped she'd reach them in time.

"Laxus, your grandfather… Big brother, grandfather is…" Tears filled her honey eyes as she ran faster and faster. Occasionally she stumbled over her own feet or something in the streets. She tried to avoid people the best she could.

Laxus, Natsu, Makarov… the Guild. They were family. And right now… Makarov was dying, Laxus was the cause, and Natsu and Gajeel were fighting him. The guild's trust was torn apart by the lightning wielder's actions.

Everyone was losing something important, especially Laxus. Did he hate them that much?

Or was he just so afraid of loss, that he'd rather destroy it all than to lose it when he needed something to cling to the most?

Levy's eyes widened when she reached the doors, her eyes looking to Gajeel and Natsu, who were on the ground pleading with Laxus… and Laxus who was starting the Fairy Law Spell.

"Laxus! STOP!" She screamed, taking a step towards the group.

"Levy!?" Natsu's dark eyes looked to the small girl, but she ignored his cry.

"You, idiot." Ahh, Gajeel, what a wonderful thing to hear… She promptly ignored that as well. "What are you doing here!?"

Right now, her focus was for Laxus, and him alone. "You have to see the master! He doesn't have much time!"

Her voice froze for a moment, tears pooling in her eyes. "Master Makarov… I mean your grandfather..." She swallowed hard. "Is close to death!"

Everyone had their attention at that moment. Inwardly, she smiled seeing Laxus' eyes going back to normal, no longer their solid white from the massive amounts of power. The relief of him going back to normal was short lived as she remembered the pain of what might happen.

"Stop this now! Go see him one last time! Please, hurry before it's too late!" She couldn't stop the tears. The thought of him dying, of Laxus not getting a last chance to see him… it broke her heart just thinking about it.

She couldn't hear Natsu over the pounding of her own heart, tears falling harder. "PLEASE LAXUS!"

"This is working out perfectly for me, now that the old man is at Death's door I have an even better chance at becoming Fairy Tail's new Master."

Levy's heart stopped, eyes just watching him as he said this. "How… could you?"

The script mage was unable to stay on her feet from the power of Fairy Law. "No… Laxus…" She watched him.

All she could do was cover her eyes at the intense light of Fairy Law as the spell was casted.

She could just remember darkness… until light opened her eyes.

"Hey! Are you okay!?" Wide, honey eyes on a girl no older than five looked up to see bright blonde hair. Everything hurt, it even hurt to keep her eyes open.

"Come on! Tell me your name! You need to stay awake." Her body was lifted up into his arms. He wasn't too much large than her… but he was strong.

"I'm Laxus, of the Fairy Tail Guild! What's your name?" He asked, cradling her tightly as he walked down the path.

"L-Levy…"

"Where are your parents, Levy?" He asked, and she went quiet, turning to bury her face in his chest.

"Gone… I was bad… magic is bad." She whispered, holding him tightly. "Magic is evil, the evil should die. That is what the people in town said."

Despite it being a world of magic, you still had people who believed it to be evil and wrong. There were small towns and villages like that all over Fiore, they were small, always less than a hundred people. It wasn't unusual for people with magic to get kicked out… dead or alive.

"I see… Well, Levy. You're coming home with me! From now on, call me big brother!" The cheeky grin on his face made tears form in her eyes. "I'll teach you that Magic isn't bad. So, will my gramps! He's the best!"

"Really?" She whispered, unable to stop herself from crying.

"Yeah!" He paused, "Hey! Don't cry, don't cry!" He panicked, not knowing how to handle her tears.

"Big brother!" She buried her face in his chest, sobbing into his embrace. Despite the pain or losing everything. The loss of her friends, her family, and everyone she knew… she'd be okay. Because she gained Laxus.

"That's right." He stopped to hug the tiny bluenette. "You'll be Levy Dreyar!"

The small girl wrinkled her nose at the name. "Can I stay Levy McGarden?" Just because they hated her, didn't mean she hated her family. She'd forgive them… because without them she'd never met her big brother.

"Fine." He pouted and shifted her in his arms. It was uncomfortable, but he'd deal with it. She way tiny anyways. "I need to finish my mission, so you'll come with me. Then we get to go home to Fairy Tail." He grinned.

"Okay!" For once, in a very long time, she smiled. And her smile was as bright as the sun.

When the dust from the Fairy Law cleared, Levy was coughing.

"What the….! No way… Impossible, how in the hell are you all still alive!?" Levy couldn't even look at Laxus.

He didn't just attack them, he tried to kill them.

Levy looked to Gajeel and Natsu, this time… her focus was on them.

"Levy… Are you alright?" Gajeel's voice broke the silence.

She couldn't stop the smile as her eyes met his. "Mhm." She nodded slowly. "But, what about Natsu? Is he okay?"

"Yeah. He seems fine to me." Gajeel laughed, looking at the salamander.

Levy's attention was soon turned to a shell shocked Laxus and an injured Freed. The green haired rune mage was standing at the door, holding his arm.

"Your true feelings have betrayed you." Freed's voice was smooth despite the pain he was obviously in. "You've inherited more than strength from your grandfather. Deep down, you also have the Master's heart. Whether you admit it or not, it is evident you care for your comrades. The Fairy Law spell only works against those the caster sees as their enemies. Since no one was hurt, we know how you truly feel."

Laxus' face was covered in surprise and Levy spoke.

"His magic could see into his heart… and that's why we're still here."

Freed nodded, "You can always try to hide your feeling, Laxus, but your magic will always reveal what is in your heart.

Levy could feel Laxus' power increasing, soon when he blew, Gajeel was in front of her, arm out to push her away from danger at a moment's notice.

Quickly when Natsu and Laxus took the battle outside, Levy pulled Gajeel's arm over her shoulders, helping him out to where she, Gajeel, and Freed could see the battle going on.

"Please Natsu, be careful." She said lightly, causing Gajeel to look at the smaller female. The group watching as Natsu was nearly counted out.

Then… Gajeel used himself as a lightning rod. As he flew off the building, the female ran to his side. The girl and injured Iron Dragon Slayer watching as Natsu won... well, tied at least.

It was the next day that everyone was calming down. Natsu and Gajeel were heavily bandaged, but alive. And despite everything, Levy would still give Laxus the benefit of the doubt… especially after his action towards Natsu.

When the Salamander yelled at him, muffled by bandages, Laxus raised his arm. It was an action he always did to him and Levy as children. Like a promise for next time, he just had other things to do first.

It would be the night of the parade that Fairy Tail lost a great member, a member who needed to find himself.

It was during the main portion of the parade that the Master did the signal. Each member of Fairy Tail raised their hand, pointer finger extended, and thumb out. It was Laxus' symbol to his family.

"Even if I can't see you Big Brother Laxus; we are all looking your way. Don't allow this loss to be forever. Come back to us. You are still a member of Fairy Tail in your heart." Levy's eyes scanned the crowd as she looked out from her platform with Lucy and Bisca.

Out of the corner of her eye, in an alley, she saw a bandaged arm raised in the same manner.

"One day, I'll come back and earn your forgiveness, Grandpa, little sister." Laxus turned around, tears streaming down his face as he left Magnolia.

Fairy Tail lost a great member that night, but in the hearts of each member, they knew he'd be back and better than ever… one day.

ShadowKurayami: I love Laxus. He is an amazing character. He just needs a push back in the right direction.

Now Levy does not just forgive him, but she knows that one day… he'll earn forgiveness. Because like it or not, he is still Fairy Tail, in his heart.

If you'd vote for a paring, it would be wonderful.
