I'm in your Mind

by Diasphro

Laxus had rebuild Fairy Tail after a year from disbanding and he stumbeled on some suspicious dark guild activities. He was captured with suprise of many. Lucy had seen it and followed them and managed to free him. His last words before falling in unconscious was 'Mind control.' Her friends came barging in the weapon room. The dark mage smiled. They had just outnumbered themselves!

10. They made their Move - Chapter 10

Whoop Whoop next chapter. This time more on time.

I don't own Fairy Tail. Only the OC's and this plot. Have fun reading. As always sorry for the grammar mistakes.

Gate of the hunting dogs, Canes Venatici.

A silver key spirit who has good working senses in generally. The spirit are two dogs who can hunt down enemies and friends by their smell. Because of their sensitive senses they can sense danger in a far distance.

Gate of the eagle, Aquila.

A silver key spirit who has the ability to fly. The spirit is a large hawk who can carry people and objects to their destination. Beside her ability to fly, she has sharp claws and sharp beak which are useful to defend herself from her enemies.

Chapter 4

In the forest was Laxus walking to a familiar treehouse.

'Tch, it was better if that old fool's guild kept disbanded. Leave! I can't enjoy with you humans barging in my life every time, but…it's the first time I see you actually walking to my house.' said Porlyusica while shoving some leaves away with her broom.

'I came to ask you something about Blondie, the Celestial mage….'

Porlyusica sighed and glared at the man in front of her from head to toe. 'That is not the only thing you came for isn't it, boy?'

Laxus face became serious. 'No it isn't.'

Against her will she let Laxus in her house. She placed her broom against the wall and didn't even wait for him to enter. 'If the girl doesn't want to tell you, why would I even bother?'

Laxus wasn't surprised how she reacted. He knew she hated humans, company in general. He came here a lot when he was small. Even if he was the old man grandson, she didn't gave him any special treatment. That was something he respected. Laxus glared at the woman and she knew that he won't leave until he had his answers.

'In the couple months I have been with her, I know one thing for sure. She is stubborn. She would sacrifice her own life…her own joy…for others. If…! If she finally got the feeling of telling me, then it will be already too late! I'm a guild master, doesn't I have the right to know?'

Porlyusica turned around and looked out of the window. Silence was filling the room. Even if Laxus could only see her back, the pain and sadness was clear as light.

'Is it that bad?' he asked.

Silence kept on, until Porlyusica finally opened her mouth. 'She is dying.'

Laxus tensed and his eyes widened with shock. 'What do you mean?'

'Like it supposed to mean, she is dying. Generally, every mage has a container and a solid flow of magic to fill that container. With some risk he can open his second origin, but enlarging your magic flow comes with a price.'

Porlyusica turned around and glared with a serious look in his eyes.

'Her life-force….That girl should have died in that hospital months ago, but by some miracle...or misfortunate….she is still alive.'

'Can't she live like a normal human, without powers, without magic?'

'Can you hear yourself boy? What are you without your lightning? Losing your potentials as a mage is like losing yourself. This is out of my league.'

'Does she knows?'

'Yes.'

Images of Creco's event were passing by. Helplessness and guilt were crawling up. If he had defeated Creco faster, maybe with the poison he could….maybe he….

A slam of Prolyusica's broom on his head, broke his thoughts. 'You wanted to know, now you know. Stop eating yourself boy. Tell me your other point and leave!'

Laxus wanted to leave this place. He needed time…to think. He placed two tubes on the table. One was purple from color while the other was red. 'I want you to examine this.'

'I will.'

Laxus nodded. He wanted to start walking, but stopped when he noticed that Porlyusica still wanted to say something.

The woman kept staring at him with a serious expression 'Boy…She isn't fragile. Let her live her life, like she wants it.'

Porlyusica looked at the tubes at the table and heard the familiar thunder noise. 'Foolish boy.'

-0o0-

Laxus kept staring at the wall from his office. It was silent, no scribe noises from a pen on paper. No Blondy that was telling him what he had done wrong this time. Only the noise from a small brawl down stairs. He felt relieved that she wasn't here. He could tell how he would have responded if he had seen her after the new he had heard. Lucy was dying. He cursed behind his teeth. Being a guild master means nothing for him, he is still the same. He couldn't help her. He couldn't safe her. And Gajeel is…..where the hell he is, hopefully still alive. It wouldn't take long before Gray, Juvia and Erza would be back in the guild. He had contact with Erza and knew they are at a long term mission. The least others knew the better it will be for the success for this mission. That was the only thing she could say. He didn't ask any further.

He saw his communication lacrima lighten up. Gajeel? He sent little bit of magic through the lacrima and saw Sting's face appearing.

'Master Laxus! Already enjoying your master ship? Sitting around, doing some paperwork and having enough women at your disposal. Women likes a strong men you know.' Sting said grinning while his eyebrows went up and down.

Laxus felt disgusted and irritated by him. He was the least person he wanted to see. 'And even with all the women at your feet, you still don't know how to get one.' said Laxus back with an evil smile.

Sting's head turned red from anger. Before he could snap back, Laxus glared at him and laid his head is his hand while his elbow was resting on his office. 'What do you want Sting, I guess you don't want to talk about which of had more woman.'

'ITS MASTER STING!' He sighed and tried to calm down. His face turned serious. 'I came to warn you. Orga is missing. There had been some strange activities between some dark guilds. Maybe you know already but there has been a lot of robberies at Lacrima's stores….because Orga is missing now….'

'Do you think they will come after me?'

'The chances are high, you two are the only electric mages I know. Orga is a strong mage. If they could get him, then we aren't talking about some average dark guild.'

'Were there any clues about their scent or magic where Orga went missing?'

'There were scents of limber, chervil and aluminum on the scene. There was no fighting marks at all near the scene. It almost looked like he just voluntarily walked away.'

Laxus couldn't believe that a mage like Orga could be defeated or voluntarily walk away to a dark guild. What kind of magic had been played there? This is getting dangerous. We aren't strong enough in this moment.

'Tch this is getting annoying. I had sent Gajeel to Worth Woodsea to investigate the place where the lacrima's should be delivered. He hasn't made contact with me yet. There is a change Orga has been sent there.'

'I will sent a team then as well to investigate, the magic council can't do much about it now, we are on our own.'

'If I don't hear anything from Gajeel in two days then I will sent a team in your direction.'

Sting nodded and smirked. 'Be glad that I took the time to warn you, hopefully you aren't gonna flee with your tail between your legs….. .' Before Sting could finish his sentence, Laxus turned off the communication lacrima.

He didn't had time to deal with a child as a master. He heard the ruckus downstairs and knew Natsu was fighting again. He took a last sip of his scotch and went down to get another one. At the bar he saw Mirajane smiling. 'Do you need a refill?'

Laxus nodded and saw a chair flying. He looked at the door and felt some load falling of his shoulders. The Thunder God Tribe were coming back. There scent and voices could already reach his dragon slayer sentences. The doors went open and indeed Freed, Bickslow and Evergreen were walking into the guildhall.

'I can see Natsu is back,' said Freed to Laxus. Laxus reacted with a little growl.

'Just yesterday, you don't want to know how many broken tables and chairs I have already counted.' He growled more with the thoughts how many bills and paperwork he will get when team Natsu would be reunited again. 'How did your mission go?'

'Smoothly, but we couldn't find a clue about the whereabouts of Master Makarov.'

'Another dead end...Good job anyway. Freed, the runes in the trainings room need to be refreshed and Blondie was looking for you.'

'I noticed, I met her on the way to the guild. Unfortunately I can't help her. She hadn't made any mistakes with the runes. Sometimes we need to accept that there are things we can't control. Making new spells isn't easy, some works and some just doesn't. Excuse me Master Laxus-sama, I like to check the runes in the trainings room now as fast as possible.'

Laxus just simply nodded. 'If you are done with that, take Evergreen and Bickslow with you to my office. I want to speak with you both.'

'Of course, Master Laxus-sama.' Freed bowed and walked away.

Laxus grabbed his now refilled scotch. He looked at the doors again and knew Wendy and Carla were also done with their mission. Laxus smirked unaware. Even if he hate the noise his brats made, he could understand why his old man loved being a guild master for so long. The returning of his brats safely, brought some relief, joy and proud with it. That made his disappearance and disbanding the guild all more suspicious. The guild doors opened and two young girls walked the guildhall in. One of those girls had blue long hair that were hold together in two ponytails the other girl had white long hair with white cat ears and a cattail. Natsu stopped the fight and looked at the two girls. They smelled familiar. 'Yo, welcome back Wendy,' said Natsu with a grin.

'Natsu-san! When did you….!'said Wendy with tears in her eyes.

'Just yesterday. Have you gotten a bit taller?'

'Err, no I haven't changed at all.'

'I see.'

'Tch, you came just yesterday and you already fighting I see,' said the girl next to Wendy her tail swapping around.

'Charle! EEEEH,' screamed Happy in confusing. Why is she human…?!

'WHY THE HELL ARE YOU HUMAN?!' said Natsu with sweat dropping of his face and his eyes open wide.

'This? Transformation magic. I learned it and in this form, my magic power increases a bit, so my divination magic power also increases.' said Charle very proud.

Happy kept staring at her unsure of what to think.

'What's the matter Happy?' asked Charle with a smirk on her face.

'I've trained to… I've trained…

…

…

…

…

Now I can resist fish a little bit…' said Happy. His stomach was grumbling, while he was sitting with a raw fish that laid down before him. Everyone chuckled.

Laxus gave a small grin and went to his office, back to his paperwork. An half hour later he heard knocks on his door. 'Come in.'

'Master Laxus-sama, you wanted to speak with us?'

Laxus laid down his paperwork. 'I want to inform you on the activities of some dark guilds lately and the possible dangers that are coming. Sit down.'

Freed, Bix and Ever were waiting and were stiffing up. Laxus had a look in his eyes and they knew it was serious. Laxus told them everything what he knew with a stern face. In the story Laxus noticed that their faces had become paler. He knew his team and he was waiting patiently for the first one to flare up.

'Master, if this is true, then we should been hiding you.' said Evergreen.

Laxus looked with an annoyed face to them. They wrenched back. It would be impossible to change his mind. He was the most stubborn man they knew. 'I know you are strong Master Laxus-sama, but let us protect you, we are a team, your team.' said Freed desperate.

Laxus shook his head. 'You know all too well that I don't like to hide my ass somewhere in a cave. And remember Fairy Tail just got back on their feet. If something happen I want you to lead the guild while I'm gone….' He paused and sighed.

'Boy…She isn't fragile. Let her live her life, like she wants it.' Porlyusica's words echoed in his head. He wanted to keep her out of this, but she was already involved. Damnit.

'…inform Blondie. She could be of more help than you suspect. Do it only if it necessary. I commanded her to take a break, but the situation isn't really asking for a break, we are just on short hands. Do you find me, then the possible is high you find the dark guild itself.' Hopefully the worst possible thing won't happen.

'But…'

Laxus looked with a strand face to Freed.

'Yes, Master Laxus-sama,' said Freed with a concerned face.

'That's all.'

The Thunder God Tribe left his office and Laxus looked at the paperwork. He growled and rested his head in his right hand. He wanted to finish this work before nightfall.

-0o0-

Laxus cursed. He didn't make it in time again, it was already 2 a.m. Laxus sighed and left the guildhall. He still felt a little bit stiff by the previous night. Sleeping in your office wasn't something he would recommend anyone. Whole day has it been noisy, he needed to slam Natsu a couple times to lessen the ruckus downstairs. Of course Wendy was too generous to heal him up again and everything started over again. After the third time Laxus told Wendy to not heal him in the most generous way he could. But the anger was sulking out of his body and Wendy went crying. He was far from ready to get the heart where his grandfather and Mavis were talking about. While walking in the woods near his house, he looked up and felt his stress fading. The stars were bright this night. Blondie would have loved them he smirked with that thought, but faded quick when he noticed his smirk. Urgh, why am I smirking over that? He didn't know what the feel. Maybe it would be best that he hadn't know. How in hell is he going to act to her?

He heard some footsteps behind him and he sniffed in the air. He could find a scent of aluminum, limber and chervil. Tch they are working fast. He stopped his walk and turned around. 'Come on out, I know you are out there!' Laxus snarled.

'Well well, this will be interesting,' said a man with brown hair and a scar visible on his mouth. The man who Blondie had descripted. So it's also a figure who isn't afraid to make his hands dirty.

'I guess you are responsible for the disappearing of Orga.'

The mage smiled madly. 'I like your mind.'

'That's the first time someone complimented me for my mind instead for my body. Sorry Scarface I'm not into guys.'

'Where are my manners, my name is Tyler and whether you want it or not you will help me to get what I want.'

'If you think I will just help you without a fight then you are dumber than you look.'

Electricity was sparking around Laxus body. The air was getting charged with electricity and dark clouds were forming. He felt a painful pressure inside of his head. Something or someone was trying to get inside of his head. Mind control! Could Orga not fight back because of the mind control. I need to finish this fast or he will take over my mind.

Tyler was smirking. 'So you have already noticed it, I like you now more and more!'

Lightning stroke the ground and a huge blast of lightning enfolded. A huge crater was molded and the ground kept sparking. Tyler cursed, he was able to dodge it barely, his right arm was completely burned and hung lifeless next to his body. Laxus changed into his lightning body and was charging at him. Tyler was hit by a Lightning Blast and Laxus's other fist was already charging to Tyler's face. At the same time lightning stroke from above and came charging in again but changed course in the last second. Laxus had stopped moving. Tyler smiled. 'That was a close one.' The light inside of Laxus grey blue eyes had faded.

Lucy couldn't sleep without Cham or Plue and she had been walking around in Magnolia. Not using magic had also his down sides though Lucy while she sighed. She had found her favorite spot and climbed up. It was a deserted old church building from the Tartaros fight that hadn't yet been restored. On the roof she laid down and looked up at the stars. The stars were very bright this night. She smiled and tried to find all the constellations. When suddenly she saw lightning in the edge of her eye. 'Laxus.' That was no normal lightning strike and she knew what that meant. 'Open the gate of the eagle and Chamaeleon, Aquila and Chameleon.'

A big eagle and a small lizard were standing in front of her. They stared at her. 'Yeah I know, no magic, but we have an emergency.' Lucy jumped on the back of Aquila when Cham was sitting on her shoulder. 'Aquila fly to the lightning strike and Cham camouflage us to be safe.'

Aquila made up speed and went to the place where the lightning had struck. It was suspicious quiet after the second lightning strike.

Lucy saw Laxus standing next to a man and she recognized him. She noticed the blur in Laxus eyes and the lifeless arm from the suspicious man. Something was off. Before she could react Laxus and the man changed into Lightning and disappeared. 'Shit! 'Heaven's Gate.' A portal was formed and they flew into her realm between the Earthland and the Celestial Realm. Everything around her moved slower and with that advantage they followed the lightning with ease. Teleporting as fast as she could, she managed to follow them, until Laxus and the dark mage became solid again before a cave in the Worth Woodsea area. The dark mage was a little bit unstable, but managed to stand firm. Lucy stayed up in the air with Aquila and Cham still invisible to the eye. Laxus and the man walked into the cave while fifteen other man were guarding the entrance.

The cave lead them to a big mountain. Who knows how big it would be in there. Why would Laxus just voluntarily follow that scar man? She needed to warn someone before getting herself into trouble. Aquila flew to a place some further away of the cave and landed on the ground.

Lucy grabbed her keys and summoned them while thinking about the items she needed. 'Open the gate of the hunting dogs, Canes Venatici.'

Two dogs appeared and barked softly and happy to Lucy. 'Good boys' and gave them a treat. She grabbed a pen and paper that were bounded on the spirits back and wrote down the situation. 'I want that you and Aquila fly back to the guild and give this to Freed or Mirajane. Lead them to me as fast as you could. You know how Freed and Mirajane smells so I'm counting on you guys.'

Her spirits nodded and Aquila lifted up into the air with the hunting dogs on her back. They flew with high speed to Magnolia. It was still dark and Lucy checked the time with Horologium. Almost 4 a.m. they should be back in the morning. Lucy was gnashing her teeth. She walked back to the cave, looked at Cham and pondered about her situation. She didn't knew a clue and that made her anguish. Gajeel hadn't returned and now Laxus voluntarily walked into the enemy base. She shook her head. This couldn't be good. Heaven's Gate portal was formed under her and walked to the cave. The guards couldn't see, hear or smell her. Lucy walked through a guard like a ghost and was now in the cave. Out of the side of the guards and made a portal to Earthland. While still invisible by Cham, they walked further inside the cave.

That's it for this chapter. So Lucy is dying and what are in those tubes that Laxus had given to Porlyusica. I'm proud I have written Porlyusica so many times, that I'm not spelling it wrong anymore. LOL. Action scenes are coming close.
