I am so, so sorry this took so long everyone. I was in a real writer's block plus I was moving back to dorms and school (blah lol) Well enough jabber, here is the final chapter. I hope y'all enjoy!
*In Luken's lair*
"We're sorry sir, they got away." Itachi told Luken as he glared at the other three men behind, making sure they kept their mouths closed, in fear of furthering their bosses anger.
"No. This is great, I knew this would happen so good job" Luken said, not even looking their way as he did, "Get Celeste and tell her it's time." Itachi stared at Dan and at first glance, Dan nodded and went running to find Celeste.
"Sir, did you and Celeste plan ahead for this?" he asked, already knowing the answer but wanting to hear it from his boss.
"Of course we did! You four were pawns and you fell right into place." The sometimes flamboyant man sounded cold and dark. Itachi was furious that he was simply a pawn in the plan but said nothing further. Luken dismissed the three, as they were leaving Dan came back "Celeste got the message. She just left"
"Excellent."_
*meanwhile in an alley almost near the train station*
"What do they want? Why did they turn on us?" Lily asked rather confused.
Gajeel turned to face him then looked at Levy, "I think it's because of you…"
She looked shocked and as confused as Lily "Me? What did I do to them?!"
"Shh" the two men said in unison. "I've boosted about you enough so they you're pretty damn intelligent. Luken probably thinks you'll pick up on his bullshit and we'd be able to take him down."
"Okay, you have a point but why now?"
"There must be something he's planned out. He doesn't seem like the type of man to just attack." The black exceed continued.
"I don't care what his reason was. I am not doing this shit anymore. We are leaving."
"But weren't you that wanted to find out this crap? I know you, and you're not the one to give up on something that means a lot to you" the script mage inquired.
"There was a part that I didn't tell you. Of course, it really wasn't my fault since I forgot…" Gajeel beckoned back. "What did you 'forget' to tell me?" Levy asked glaring at him.
"You already called me out for not being one to go on wild goose chases. Well, I wouldn't have gone on this one either but fucking Salamander asked me to do it for him…"
*flashback*
"I know you aren't the one to go chasing every dragon story there is but this one has a good lead" Natsu stated confidently.
"A picture that anyone could draw isn't a good lead" Gajeel stared at him, annoyed. "Why can't you go?"
"Because this is a picture of Metalicana not Igneel so I thought you should do it and tell me if you find out anything that could lead to Igneel."
"No. Aren't you getting to old for this shit?" the iron dragon inquired.
"Maybe but I remain a curious boy on the inside I guess, or at least, that's what Lucy keeps telling me. Could you please just-"
He cut him off "Hell no, ask Wendy"
"She is still too young and besides, you're better at this stuff. Come on Gajeel, I'll never ask again" He asked with sad eyes, mimicking Levy.
He rolled his eyes, thinking 'That only works when Levy does it.'
"If I do this, you owe me, big Salamander" The man gleamed and agreed.
*flashback end*
She stared with a blank expression, processing the information given to her, before looking over to Lily "Did you know about this?"
"No, but I knew something like this had to be the case." They all gave each other a glance "Look, I apologize for this and Salamander's going to get an ass beating for putting me in this predicament. I never thought that it would go this far."
"It's alright, let's just get out of here while we can" They all agreed and began walking to the station._
"I think I'm going to be sick" the pierced man held his mouth thinking about boarding the train. "You were fine on the way up here. Wendy must have used her magic on you" his wife stated. He nodded as the train arrived and immediately stopped because the nodding made him feel worse. They boarded the train and all seemed to be going to plan until the train made an abrupt stop.
A feminine voice came on over the loud speaker "Hello passengers, this is you captain speaking. I need a, Mr. and Mrs. Redfox to come to the front end of the train or we will not be able to take you to your final destinations." Gajeel looked toward Levy then Pantherlily with an eyebrow rose. He took his wife's hand, seeing as the crowd began to get rowdy trying to figure out who was holding up the train. They went toward the front end, telling Lily to wait where he was.
Celeste turned to see them standing behind her and took the loud speaker "Thank you for your cooperation, we can now start moving. Have a great trip!"
As she put the loud speaker back down and started the train, they stared at her. "Who are you?" Levy asked first.
"I'm simply a woman looking for a good time." The woman was kind of tall, big breasted with long raven black hair. "The train will stop again in about 20 minutes, I'll need you two to come with me so we can… have a little fun"
Even though he was queasy, Gajeel was able to softly mutter "You work for Luken, don't you?"
"I do. We haven't met before, I'm Celeste" she looked him up and down like a piece of meat. Levy caught her action and stared at her rather annoyed. She really wanted to hit her with all she had but restrained herself. "Well, Celeste is it? What does Luken want?"
"He wants Gajeel to finish his mission with no extra problems and you to not get in his way" Celeste glared at her, equally as ready to bounce as Levy was. The blunette was about to let go of her husband's hand but he squeezed it and looked down at her. She smiled, then noticed how bad he was looking "Can we sit down? He doesn't do well on trains"
She motioned for them to take a seat and waited for the train to stop._
They made it to their location, Lily finding them and secretly following them. They were in a secluded forest like area. "Where are you taking us?" the tiny script mage asked.
"To Luken, where else?" the black haired script mage rolled her eyes.
They walked for a few more minutes before coming to a place that looked like an old mine. They went in and it became a secret hideout with lacrima computer screens and weapons all across the walls. It was dark and gloomy, only the multitude of lacrima screens seemed to light the place up. Luken was sitting in a chair, faced toward the screens "So glad of you two to make it, thank you Celeste for bringing our guests"
"Not a problem" she said once again looking Gajeel up and down while licking her lips. Levy hadn't noticed that time, too focused on watching the screens.
"There are camera's everywhere…" she mumbled, loud enough for Luken to hear.
"That there are. This is my town so why wouldn't I want to make sure that it stays safe" he stated, turning around and looking at them.
"So you knew where we were at all times. You led us to the train station" the blunette started putting all the pieces together.
"Yes, I lead you there, I lead you here and now Gajeel will help us or you will die" Luken looked over to Celeste who had already began, she put an enchantment around Levy before she had a chance to see it coming. "You can't leave this box until Gajeel comes back with the last part of his mission. You also can have no contact with him and he can have no contact with you."
Gajeel tried to touch Levy but got shocked, and the same happened to her. "I will go with you to make sure everything goes to plan." She ran over, taking Gajeel's arm and smiling mischievously at Levy. Luken then stated, "Once you come back with what we need, the enchantment will be broken. I do think you'll want to make this one quick."
Levy wanted to cry but didn't want to give them that satisfaction. Gajeel looked at her and mouthed, "I'm sorry but I'll be back." She nodded, giving him a reassuring smile. The raven-haired mistress and her husband walked out the lair, her arm in his. She wanted to beat the crap out of her but decided to focus her energy on trying to undo the enchantment. She didn't have all the things she needed but could suffice.
Once Luken had turned back around in his chair, Lily appeared out of the woodworks. He got closer and attempted to touch the barricade. He slipped into the area with no worries "I guess they didn't think about me" he smiled. "I'm glad, but why didn't you follow Gajeel."
"He told me to stay here and help you break this"
"How'd he say all that without you being spotted" She asked curiously, with an eyebrow raised. "It was said in little to no words but I knew what he meant"
She smiled and nodded, "Okay, I think I understand most of it. Her enchantment is similar to Freed's but not on the same caliber. I shouldn't need any books but when I break free, I'll need your help if they come after me." He nodded and looked at Luken's lacrima screens, "Look the mission must be within Luken's immediate boundaries because we can see them on the screens"
"Right, okay, let's get out of her then we can go find Gajeel"
About 30 minutes passed but Levy was able to break the enchantment. There was an underlying barrier that made it harder than initially expected but she got through it. She motioned for Lily to follow her, as they made their way to the opening three men walked inside, spotting them. "It's the wife and the cat, get them!" The men made a loud commotion, causing Luken to turn from his seat. "Don't just stand there grab them!" Lily grabbed Levy and flew up in the air "Script magic: Ice" She was able to freeze two of the men in ice. Dan, being the last one left, remembered their first encounter on the train and ran "Luken, you're on your own! I'm out!"
Luken stared at the woman as she flew in the air. The exceed put her down near him and he stood next to her, growing to his former size. Lily pinned the man down as Levy spoke "I need you to tell me exactly where they are"_
*Meanwhile*
Gajeel was walking with Celeste wrapped around his arm. No matter how many times, he pushed her off, she kept grabbing hold again. At some point, Itachi joined them and they were all going to Mavis know where. "Where is this last mission supposed to be?"
Celeste put her finger to his mouth and he moved his face away quickly. "Now, now, just keep walking. You'll find out soon enough." He sighed, thinking 'This is going to take forever. I hope Lily helped Levy escape. Until I'm sure, she's okay; I have to tough it out. For her…'
"Just up this road" Itachi spoke. They came to an empty field; Gajeel looked around, completely lost.
"What am I suppose to find in an empty field?" the iron dragon asked, feeling shit out of luck as Celeste pushed him to the center.
"I'm sorry I'm going to have to kill a sexy thing like you but an order is an order. The original plan had been to seduce you but we figured that wouldn't have worked." she winked, building a barricade around him. "You can't leave this area or use you're magic while you're in it."
"Fuck! What about Levy?!" he exclaimed.
"You'll see her again, in the afterlife" Itachi answered coming toward Gajeel to take a swing. Gajeel began punching with brute force. They kept punching each other before the man pushed Gajeel against the barricade and it zapped him, causing him to fall to the ground.
As Celeste stood there watching, she didn't expect to get zapped in the back. Looking around confused, she sees Levy flying in the air. Lily put her down, growing in size once more, standing beside her. "What the- How the fuck did you break free?!" the raven-haired woman exclaimed.
"You enchantment was so simple, a child could undo it" The blunette winked at her as the insult rolled off her tongue.
Celeste didn't take kindly to the insult and lunged toward Levy to use sure force, the tiny mage was able to kick her off. "Lily! Help, Gajeel!" Lily ran over toward Gajeel and began fighting Itachi. The two were able to get the minions back to back. "Solid script: fire!" Levy put a fire ring around the two, to give herself time to free Gajeel. The enchantment for him was much simpler than the one Celeste created for Levy so she finished in 10 minutes. Once free, Gajeel went through the fire toward Itachi and kicked his ass. Levy let out the fire and went toward Celeste to rough her up before they tied the two up together. They dropped them off at Luken's hideout to make sure they all left them and their guild alone, for good._
*Three months later*
Everything was pretty calm, once they got back. Natsu got his ass kicked by Gajeel. Levy told Lucy everything that had happened and it was all normal. Then about two weeks after they had returned, Levy found out some interesting news.
"Gajeel it's time for my doctor's appointment"
"Alright, I'm coming shorty" He said as he kissed her forehead then bent down and kissed her stomach.
"How's our little one doing?"
"It'd be fine if Daddy would hurry up. We get to learn the sex of the baby today and Mommy is really excited!"
"Yea yea, Lily we're going!"
Lily entered the room and nodded "I'll hold down the fort. Have a good check-up Levy"
"Thanks Lily."
They walked out the door and onto the doctor. Making their way towards a new and brighter path, that included an addition to their family.
I'd like to thank all of you for sticking with me and the story. I hope you liked the ending. Review if you'd like and I'll see you on the next one! 333
