Chapter 10 The "Unfair" Fight
Levy's POV:
The rest of the day went by really slow because of one thing. I have to fight Gajeel again! I think I'm gonna die! "Okay, Levy calm down." I whispered to myself as I walked down the hall. I closed my eyes and took a couple breaths before opening them again. I need to calm down and relax. I continued to walk down the halls to my dorm room. There leaning against the doorframe was no other than Gajeel Redfox. "Sup Shrimp?" He said getting off the door frame. "Hello Gajeel." I said. "I have an idea." He said in a teasing way. "What's your idea." I asked. "Let's make a bet. If I win the fight I get what I want but if you win the fight, you get what you want. Deal?" (I know this is a lot like the grand magic games but I NEEDED to do it!) "Okay, deal." I said shaking his hand. I thought for a while before deciding what I wanted. Um… he could sing infront of everybody, well since everyone hates his music. He could wear something embarrassing. Oh! I got it! "If I win, you have to wear a dress for an entire school day." He looked a little shocked but then his face turned into a smile. "Alright, but if I win, you have to dye your hair black!" He said with a stupid smile.
I was shocked. He wants me to dye my hair black?! What a moron! But I just gave him a smile and shook his hand saying that it is a deal. He nodded and walked off with that smile still on his face. I walked into my dorm and Cana had a bottle of beer in her hand while watching TV. Juvia was writing, most likely to Gray and Erza was reading on the floor with her back propped up against the wall. "Erza?" I asked walking over to her. "Ya Levy?" She said looking up from her book. "I need help fighting Gajeel."
"Levy, I cannot help you while you're in the ring."
"I know. It's just… I need to be prepared."
Erza stood up and changed into her regular armor. She placed one of her hands on my shoulder and looked down at me. "I will help you."
"AHHH! ERZA!" I yelled. Erza had told me to create the word stone in large letters. I did as I was told and then Erza took the "S" and placed it on me. "C'mon Levy! Lift it up!" Erza yelled. This went on for about twenty minutes before Erza took the "S" off of me. Erza had her head down and her arms crossed. I could tell that she was disappointed in me. "We'll have to start small." She said as she summoned two of her swords. She handed one to me and told me about basic combat. We trained until the sun was down and we continued to train everyday that I didn't fight Gajeel. I watched other people's mistakes and I knew how they would fall because of them. I had to win this fight.
The next day I looked at the poster and I saw who won and lost.

As I looked at the chart I could tell that the bolder letters mean round two. I also could already tell who would win and who would lose. Just like how Mira is going to kill Jet. I feel so bad for him. As I was pondering the chart Gildarts walked into the room and everyone quickly got quiet. "Hello brats." Said Gildarts. "Now, for our first fight of the day we have Gajeel Redfox and Levy McGarden." I quickly rose from my seat, as did Gajeel. He leaned over to my ear and whispered, "Remember the bet." Then he went off to the right and I went to the left. I was ready for this fight and I was going to win. I walked over to my corner of the ring and Gildarts had his flag. "Fighters ready?" Started Gildarts. "Three… Two… One… FIGHT!" Gildarts waved his flag in the air and the fight began.
Gajeel came charging at me head on. I quickly jumped out of the way. "What'cha running away from Shrimp?" Gajeel asked. I decided not to answer him because it would only make things worse. But one thing kept running through my mind. Don't let Gajeel get any iron! "Iron Dragon, Sword!" Yelled Gajeel. His hand quickly turned into a dark iron sword. It was really long with a curve at the end. It started to come down upon me but I saw it coming. "Solid Script, Barrier!" I yelled. A barrier formed around me and Gajeel's sword rammed into it, cracking it slightly. "Da** it!" Yelled Gajeel in frustration. It was an accomplishment that I cracked his scales. "Solid Script, Fire!" I yelled. The fire came at Gajeel fast but he still dodged it. Mostly. Part of his hair was burned off and I saw it fall to the ground. "Iron Dragon, Roar!" Yelled Gajeel. I wasn't fast enough and the attack hit me spot on. "Ahh!" I screamed in pain. When the roar died down I rose to my feet. "I'm not going down as easy as last time." I said with confidence. I remember my first class. It feels like it was so long ago.
FLASHBACK
I was shaking. I saw how he took down all of those other guys but I'm going to make sure I win. And that I can show everybody that I am strong. I got up from my seat and went over to the ring. Gajeel walked next to me and whispered in my ear. "I'll go easy on you Shrimp." He said it sarcastically and then walked over into the area laughing. I got in my ready position and Gildarts signaled us to fight. "Solid Script, Iron!" I yelled. I thought it would drop on him and he would get crushed but instead he smiled and started to eat it. "Iron dragon, Iron Fist!" He yelled and the large metal hand hit my gut and it hurt, REALLY bad. But, I had to keep fighting. "Solid Script, Fire!" I yelled and threw the attack at him. He tried to dodge it but his arm got a little burned. "Iron dragon, ROAR!" He yelled and that attack made me feel pain everywhere. I tried to get up but then fell back to the ground. "Levy!" was the last thing I heard before I fell unconscious.
END OF FLASHBACK
That wasn't going to happen again! I am going to win. "Solid Script, Oil!" I yelled. The oil landed where Gajeel was standing and he fell over onto the slippery liquid. "Solid Script, Fire!" I yelled. All of the oil burned up and so did Gajeel. "Agh!" He grunted in pain. He slowly got to his feet and walked out of the fire. "Iron, Shadow Dragon Mode." He said. Gajeel's eyes turned to white and a black aura surrounded him. His skin turned to iron scales and he literally looked like the "bad guy." He smiled a little before raising his hand. "Iron Shadow Dragon Secret Art... Iron Shadow Godsword!" Gajeel yelled. There was nothing that could have saved me. The blast hit me and I flew back against the wall. I had lost. I went through all of that to lose. I fell to the ground and I layed there for a while before standing up. My body had bruises and I could feel my nose bleeding. I looked over to the arena and saw Gajeel fall to the ground. He had run out of magic energy on that last attack. I don't know who won because shortly after, I fell to the ground and passed out.
