''You shouldn't look away from your opponent'' spat Laxus, Not willing to let the one he loves be taken without a fight. Well this wasn't supposed to take this long pouted the enemy getting ready for battle. He smiled the smile of a maniac his face shrouded in darkness, as all the men behind Laxus face's transformed in to that of their leader. In unison all three men placed there hands under their mouths and whispered ''Explosion dance''. The attack hit Laxus in the back and sent him flying in to the railing, landing on the steps he stood up shaking his head to send the weariness away. ''Lightning dragons roar'' shouted Laxus sending a funnel of lightning towards the enemy sending him into the wall, the rest of the guild stood stunned by Laxus strength, ''Has he always been that strong'' thought Makarov as Laxus kicked the enemy into a table before Grabbing him and lifting him up ready to beat his head into the floor when, the man again smiled pointing behind Laxus ''did you forget that we have the upper hand here''.

Laxus looked behind him seeing Freed being held up by his hair a look of discomfort on his face even in his unconscious state.''Surrender now Laxus Dreyar or your mate over there will pay the price''.Laxus growled when the man screamed an explosion sent him into the guild members who all scattered except Gajeel, who caught Laxus and helped him stand until Laxus snarled and Gajeel saw the most surprising thing Laxus let a tear fall down his cheek and land on the wooden floor the guild was beyond shock. Laxus pushed away and fell to his knees these men were strong and they had gotten lucky, blood ran down laxus back and chest he couldn't really see blood was falling into his eyes from his heads meeting with the wall. Freedsmhead was being beaten against the wall and, Laxus couldn't take it anymore everyone was surprised by his next words ''I surrender Just don't hurt him anymore''

Laxus raised his hands up much like Natsu had ''good to know'' the leader waved his hand and the man beating Freeds head against the wall stopped, walked over and placed a rubber material around Laxus and Freeds ankles and wrists. ''Sorry but we have to run, we'll be seeing you fairy's '' ,spoke the leader sending a powerful explosion straight towards Laxus who couldn't even try to dodge. Lexus eyes met his grandfathers and they both had tears leaving tracks down their faces , the explosion sent him through the guild doors. Breaking them and sending him over the final threshold into unconsciousness, the guild stood there as the leader stood there looking at them with aa smirk on his face my name is Ryner and you will get to know me well before I'm done with your turned his cape flowing behind him for more effect his laughter sending chills down everyones spines, and with a snap of his fingers all six disappeared, leaving the guild in shambles.

When Laxus woke up his head ached and his wrists hurt from being pulled above his head holding his weight for so long. He heard a very familiar voice calling to him ''Laxus'' he looked to his side and saw Natsu, He looked okay mostly besides a cut to his cheek and his stomach looked to be bleeding. Laxus opened his mouth to say somthing when heard a grumbling noise and turned to the man chained beside Laxus his unmistakeable green hair falling out of its tie and flowing over his shoulder all there clothes tattered and ripped showing of there stomachs. ''Laxus whats going on'' asked Freed, His own head aching and his body feeling like it was on the wrong side of Laxus lightning/ Freed began trying to wiggle free from the chains around his wrists and the one around his ankle, his eyes slowly scanning everyone in the room Natsu's lip bleeding and a cut on his cheek his stomach looked pretty bad, and Laxus had a bloody face and his arms had bruises on them.

The worst of the three being gray his lip was busted like Natsu's and his nose was bleeding,he had red/puffy eyes and a swollen left cheek. His hair was sticking to his face from sweat and blood,His side swollen and bruised an ugly flurry of purple,black, and blue. He also noted Gray was paler than usual,Gray and Natsus bruises around their wrists and ankles were darker than his and Laxus's But what worried them the most was Grays breathing was labored and there was a shirt wrapped around Grays arm soakd and dripping with blood, No one could even tell what color the shirt was supposed to be.

''Natsu what the hell happened to Gray?'' asked Laxus breaking the silence.

Before Natsu could answer a man came in and grabbed the chains around Freed and began to unlock them Laxus was pulling against his chains yelling for them to bring Freed bak as he was non to gently pulled out of their prison, and out of Laxus worried eyes.

Freed screaming in agony was all Laxus and Natsu could here, Natsu heard sniffling and looked upssurprised to see Laxus scream tears falling from his eyes like a river his only words.

''Bring him back to me''
