Chapter 10: Shadow Trials
Natsu and Lucy watched in shock as the shadowy figure that had appeared from the waterfall began to take the shape of a muscular male warrior. The shadow warrior wore black slightly baggy trousers, had short spiky black hair, black eyes and black boots. The warrior noticed the two wizards in their shocked state and charged at Natsu, sending a swift kick at him sending him into a rock. The warrior then turned to Lucy, smiled an evil looking smile and restrained her. The warrior did this with such speed that neither of them noticed until it was too late to defend themselves. While Lucy struggled to free herself the warrior spoke "wizard this girl is now mine, you will leave us" he claimed as Natsu stood up next to the rock he collided. Natsu became filled with rage at the warrior's words "like hell does she!" Natsu shouted at him as the warrior slammed his hand into Lucy's neck, knocking her out. As Lucy passed out, Natsu sent a wave of fire at the warrior, who dodged and placed Lucy by the waterfall before heading over to Natsu. After a while Lucy woke up to see Natsu and the shadow warrior fighting and Natsu was struggling which caused Lucy to stand up and reach for her celestial keys. Lucy lifted one of her golden keys "open gate of the lion, Leo!" light shone around Lucy and the key in her hand as her celestial spirit travelled through its gate. As the fight between Natsu and the warrior continued which was Natsu getting punched in the face and sent backwards, Lucy began to speak with her spirit "Loke back me up we're going to help Natsu!" she explained to the lion spirit who adjusted his sunglasses and smiled "anything for you Lucy" Loke replied. Lucy then charged towards the warrior which Loke not far behind "you're fighting me now!" Lucy shouted at him causing him to stop walking towards Natsu who was collapsed on the floor, groaning in pain. As Lucy and the warrior began fighting, Loke went over to help Natsu and as he recovered, he sent another huge wave of fire at the warrior. The warrior then became engulfed in the fire as Lucy stood a fair distance away "Loke finish him!" Lucy commanded which caused Loke to begin to charge his power. With light surrounding him and Natsu behind him Loke unleashed his attack "Regulus Impact!" and then there was an explosion as the lion spirit's power connected with its target. During this time Lucy had made her way over to Natsu and Loke and as the smoke cleared they all saw the shadow warrior begin to fade while a voice echoed around them "you have passed the second stage" the voice announced. When they heard this Natsu and Lucy hugged each other in happiness as Loke returned to the spirit world.
Levy and Gajeel broke their embrace when they noticed the shadowy figure. Gajeel stepped in front of Levy as the shadowy figure in front of them transformed into the shape of a savage-looking dog. The dog's fur was pitch black and spiked everywhere whish made it look more savage. Both wizards are shocked by the shadow's appearance as the dog growls at them, baring it's fangs. This caused Gajeel to show the dog his fangs in retaliation as he transformed his arm into his Iron Dragon Sword and then charged at the dog with the sun gleaming off the spiked iron sword. While Gajeel brawled with the shadow dog, Levy began to write a word in order to assist Gajeel but suddenly stopped halfway when the dog shot behind her and slashed her in the back with its dark claws, causing the half written word to fade into dust. Levy collapsed to the floor groaning in pain as her blood began to form into a pool around her, staining her clothes with a deep shade of red. Gajeel became enraged by this and began to attack the dog, drawing it away from Levy "don't move Levy, I'll kill this thing then take you back to the others" he told her when he saw he attempting to lift herself off the ground. Levy then just collapsed to the ground, failing to lift herself up and groaned in pain as the pool of blood around her slowly grew in size. Gajeel turned to face the shadow dog and used his dragon breath "Iron Dragon Roar!" and then charged towards the weakened dog, hitting it in the chest with his "Iron Dragon Pillar" causing the dog to begin faded. As the dog faded, Gajeel ran over to Levy, who was slowly losing consciousness. Gajeel growled with anger, gently picked her up holding her in a bridal style and began running back the way they came. As he did this there was an echoing voice "you have passed the second stage" Gajeel continued to run "like I care right now" he mumbled under his breath as he looked at his heavily bleeding girlfriend.
The shadow figure in front of Gerard and Gray began transforming as the two male wizards watched in shock. The figure became a woman wielding two blades "great it's like a second Erza!" Gray commented as the woman readied her blades "that's not such a bad thing Gray, but this woman isn't nearly as beautiful" Gerard stated as the woman began to charge towards them. Gray then created a sword of ice to defend against the shadow woman's swords while Gerard wrapped himself in his heavenly body magic and shot behind the woman for a quick attack. As the woman became distracted by Gerard, Gray came towards her with his ice sword only for her swords to clash with his lone one. As the two sword wielders held their ground with the three swords clashing constantly, Gerard rose up into the air and began preparing his attack. When he was ready, Gerard signalled to Gray, who jumped away from the woman as she turned to look up at Gerard "Grand Chariot!" Gerard shouted as the blasts of light rained down on the shadow woman. As the two wizards stood ready to defend themselves, the woman began to fade away while a voice echoed through the dense forest "you have passed the second stage" this caused the two wizards to high five in victory.
Natsu and Lucy slowly approached the campsite after their battle with the shadow warrior and as they spotted the camp they met up with Gerard and Gray as they emerged from the forest. When they finally arrived at the camp, they were all shock at what they saw, Levy on a sheet covered in blood while Mirajane was tending to her the best she could. Lucy ran over to assist the barmaid and as she knelt down on the other side of Levy she saw how bad the injury was. While Lucy helped Mirajane, Natsu looked for Gajeel and noticed him sitting on a rock not too far from the camp.
Natsu sat beside Gajeel "what happened?" he asked the iron dragon slayer noticing the sad look on his face "I-I was careless" Gajeel explained "I should've stayed near her, I knew that dog was fast, I told her I would protect her" he continued with his tone getting sadder as he went on. Natsu looked at Gajeel, who had a sad look on his face, which Natsu had never seen before "I'm sure you tried your best Gajeel and I know that Levy feels the same way" he explained as Gajeel lifted his head to look at him. Then Gajeel looked forward "thanks Natsu" he whispered as Natsu stood up and began to walk away "no problem Gajeel" Natsu replied as he walked back to the camp.
While this was happening, Gerard had entered the tent behind Mirajane. As he entered the tent he saw Erza going through some medical supplies "there you are Erza" he said, causing her to turn and face him. Gerard smiled as Erza jumped into his arms and wrapped her own arms around his neck when he wrapped his arms around her waist. Erza looked into Gerard's eyes "I love you Gerard" she told him and Gerard's response was a soft but passionate kiss. The two wizards smiled at each other as they released their kiss with both their faces flushed from lack of oxygen.
An hour later, Master Makarov had gathered them all together "first things first, Levy will be fine" Gajeel sighed with relief "secondly the s-class trial is over, the six of you have done extremely well but I'm not telling the results until a later date" Makarov finished his announcement. It was getting dark so they all agreed to return to Fairy Tail in the morning and they began to set up their supplies for the night.
Natsu and Lucy laid down on the ground near the fire with the blanket covering them as they cuddled each other. They slowly began to drift off to sleep and Natsu looked at Lucy "I love you Luce" he told her as she went closer to his chest, smiling from the comforting heat "I love you too Natsu" she replied before she gave into her exhaustion. Erza and Gerard were lying on the grass near the camp and they both smiled in their embrace. The two looked at the stars as they began to fall asleep in each other's arms. Gray was already asleep as he laid near the fire but not as close as Natsu and Lucy. He didn't enjoy the heat as much as them. Gajeel placed Levy onto the makeshift bed he had made her in the tent and he watched her body relax as he slowly unwrapped his hands from around her body, laying her on her stomach. Gajeel then went to leave the tent but stopped when Levy made some uncomfortable noises, as if she wanted him to say with her. He decided to lie down beside her bed and watched her sleep before falling asleep himself.
