They boys waited in pained suspense, not wanting to barge in there without any knowledge of what was exactly going on.
"She shouldn't be going any longer, she's gonna get hurt!" They just barely hear over Lucy's screams of anguish.
"Please! You said you'd stop when it was necessary. She can't do it any longer!"
The girls' pleas went do deaf ears as a low snicker passed through the room.
"Well, I guess I lied! Now all of you shut the fuck up! She's almost done and I'm not stopping until it's finished!" He growls angrily before a slap echoes through the room.
"No..there is no way in Earthland that I'm just gonna stand here!" Gajeel growls as his form begins to ripple, a black aura quickly surrounding his as it starts to pull him into the shadows.
"Gajeel we fucking can't, we don't know what's going on!" Bacchus hisses.
"Oh fucking well!" He growls before snaking his way into the room, sticking to the wall before freezing at the sight before him. Lucy was a sickly white as a bright golden light surrounded her and blinded anyone near. Wendy was passed out on the side, sections of cobalt blue hair sticking to her sweat laden face as her magic recharged. Cana and Levy were sitting next to each other with mortified expressions on their faces, a red handprint adorning each of their cheeks as they stare helplessly at Lucy.
At this Gajeel saw red, snaking behind the man before grabbing him by the head, slamming it into the floor with enough force that he could have broken his skull if he wanted. The tattered book falls out of his hands at this, several torn and crumbled pages falling out of the binding of the book, it was a sight that could have made Levy cry if it was any other situation.
"LAXUS GET YOUR ASS IN HERE!" Gajeel growls, his voice echoing around the room.
"Gajeel?.." Levy mumbles, looking around in confusion while she hoped she wasn't losing her mind.
Gajeel quickly pulls out of the shadows with a smirk, his signature toothy grin covering his face before it turns back to a deathly scowl.
"Yeah shrimp it's me. Get out of here with the rest of them though, you're not gonna wanna be here for this.." he says before his eyes lock on the man at his feet who was slowly getting up from the blow to the head.
Levy nods quickly as she moves with Cana to pick up Wendy and try to help a half awake Lucy stand up.
Lucy cries out in pain as she falls back to her knees, her face contorted in pain as she as she tries to catch her breath.
"Gajeel there's no way we're gonna be able to get her out of here, we've already got to carry back Wendy and I can't carry her back by myself."
Gajeel grunts in understanding before turning back to the man who had made his way to a corner and propped himself up.
A large clap of thunder echoes through the room, the large flash of lightning that followed blinding the occupants of the cell.
"Sorry, it took so long this idiot didn't want to tel- LUCY!" Laxus quickly rushes to Lucy's side and kneels down beside her, cupping her face in his hands before noting the flush of her face. He puts the back of his hand against her forehead before pulling it away quickly.
"Damn she's burning up, what the fuck happened in here!" he growls before picking her up and moving her to the wall adjacent from the man, wanting her out of the way just in case this got rough.
"Why the fuck did you do to them?" He growls as he walks towards the man, a deathly aura surrounding him.
"Well wouldn't you like to know?" he asks with a smirk before groaning and cupping his blood coated face.
Laxus was not in the mood for his shit, this was his mate and his soon to be child, and if he had to knock out a few more teeth to keep them safe then he most certainly would.
"I'm not gonna fucking ask you again, what did you do to her?" he growls out slowly.
"I'd be worried about that kid more right now," he says with a smirk, a sick sense of pride on his face as he looks over at Lucy who was now shaking slightly.
Laxus's eyes go wide in anger, lighting shooting off of his fingertips before he swings his foot into the man's stomach.
"What the fuck do you mean! And don't give me any shit because I swear to Mavis I have no problem ending your life right now.."
The man coughs out another puddle of blood before looking up at the man, no fear or remorse visible in the deep depths of his black eyes.
"I don't see any harm, the damage is done. She's out of magic energy and used her own life force...now..what do you think runs off of that life force.." he says with a sarcastic tone.
Laxus backs up slowly before looking at Gajeel with murderous intent in his eyes.
"Get out of here...get out with the girls and Bacchus and take her to Porlyusica...you guys don't need to be here for this..." he mumbles, knowing that Gajeel would be able to hear him.
"Na, there ain't no way in hell I'm leaving you here alone with this guy, you're gonna fucking kill him," Gajeel says with a shake of his head as he crosses his arms across his chest stubbornly.
"I said GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE, WHAT THE HELL DO YOU CARE IF I KILL HIM?!" Laxus screams, his stormy gray eyes seemingly having a battle with Gajeel's crimson red ones.
Gajeel sighs quietly. "I've been there before, man, you know what I used to be when I was in the Phantom Lord, you know what I did to Levy and her team. You don't want to be that man. You're the guild master now, you've got more responsibilities than any of us will ever have, you can't just give that away cause you're fucking pissed. You're wasting your time right now, you could be getting Lucy to Porlyusica right now but instead, you're wasting your time on this deadbeat. I'm sure you don't want your kid knowing you from between the bars of a magic council cell.." Gajeel lectures eyes now locked on the ground. He never talked like this with anyone, maybe Levy and Panther Lily if need be but someone else from the guild? Hell Laxus imparticular, hell no, But this needed to be done. Laxus had to know what he was giving away, what kind of man he'd be if he did that.
Laxus sighs, gritting his teeth together in anger. "You beat this asshole within an inch of his life, then you can call the council to take him away, got it?" Laxus asks as he walks over to his wife, gently picking her up princess style, a smile pulling at his lips slightly as she grips his t-shirt and holds him close.
"I already planned on it," Gajeel says with a smirk. "Now hurry up, we've already got the other girls handled."
Laxus nods and before anyone could blink a loud clap of thunder echoes and the only thing left was the charred remains of his footprints.
