Author's Note: Ok, time to get back to the story! Lately, I have been planning out another fanon after this; I'll reveal the name of it at the end of the final chapter! Now let's sit back and enjoy the show! P.s. I got a new profile pic, and yes, I did draw that. I free-handed the whole drawing by following the original drawing.

Chapter 11: Kill the Beast
Levy stood there frozen as a block of ice. The whole town was murmuring and screaming at the picture of Gajeel in the Lacrima. Laxus didn't know what to say; this whole time he thought Makarov was insane and just seeing proof shook him to his core.
"M-monster!" Someone screamed.
"He'll come after our women and children!" another screamed.
"No! He wouldn't!" Levy replied "He would never harm a soul!" Laxus took the Lacrima out of Levy's hands at that moment and looked straight at it.
"If I didn't know any better," he said "I'd think you had feelings for this monster."
"So what if I do?!" hissed Levy "The only monster here is YOU!" The town gasped at those words.
"She's insane!" Mirajane screamed.
"She's as bad as her father!" Lisanna replied to her sister.
"No!" Laxus said defensively "She's under a love spell that the beast put on her!"
"Wait, what?" Levy questioned "I'm not under a love spell!"
"Don't worry Levy my dear!" Laxus said to Levy while holding her hand "I'll save you, I'll have the spell broken and you will love me again!"
"I never loved you!" Levy screeched while taking her hand away "And wait, I was gone for a whole month, how is it you didn't even notice?!" her words were left completely ignored.
"There is only one thing we can do," Laxus said to the mob "and that is...KILL THE BEAST!" Hearing those words, the angry mob cheered.
"No! Isn't anyone listening to me!?" Levy screamed "He's harmless!" Suddenly, a pair of hands grabbed Levy and locked Magic Sealing Cuffs onto her hands.
"Sorry Levy darling." said Laxus with and evil grin "But it's for your own good. I can't let you interfere with my plans of marrying you." Levy gave back nothing but a menacing cold glare. Laxus then had his friends take Levy's father out of the carriage and put Magic Sealing Cuffs on him as well. They then threw him into the house next to Levy and locked all the doors and windows on them, so that way; there was no escape.
"Let us out!" Levy screamed.
"I'm afraid I can't do that." Laxus replied on the other-side of the door before screaming to the town "Ok! Grab your pitchforks, your torches and Laki, get your weird medieval torture devices, were going to kill The Beast!" The crowd cheered at the words of Laxus and began to ready themselves. This was going to be a night to remember.
Levy was trapped in her house with her father. An hour passed and she began to mope about all that just happened.
"Levy?" asked Makarov "Are you alright?"
"This is all my fault!" she sobbed "If I haven't shown them the Lacrima, we wouldn't be in this mess and Gajeel would be safe and sound!" She began to sob harder to the point she couldn't form words and more. Tears rolled down her eyes. Makarov scooted his way over to his daughter and began to comfort his daughter.
"It's not your fault." he said comfortingly "It was a mistake and we all make mistakes."
"You have to have faith in The Master, Levy! He will kick Laxus butt before he knew it!" a voice suddenly said. Levy stopped crying for a moment and looked around the room with her father to see where the voice came from. She heard a rustling noise and discovered something moving inside her bag, it soon made its way out of the bag to reveal itself. It was Happy.
"Happy!" Levy happily exclaimed "W-what are you doing here?"
"I followed you." He replied bashfully "Don't worry, The Master didn't order me to or anything. I wanted to try and stop you from leaving and I accidently fell into your bag."
"Boy I'm glad you did! Do you think you can get us out?"
"Magic Sealing Cuffs huh? Pfft! Easy! Their weakness is heat!" Happy hopped over to the fire place and added more wood onto the fire; Levy and her father scooted over to the fire and the heat loosened the locks on the cuffs, soon they were able to wiggle free.
"I can use my magic now!" Levy squealed.
"Levy, you have to get out of here!" Makarov suddenly said "Laxus is on his way to the castle and he's probably halfway there by now!" Levy nodded at her father.
"But," questioned Levy "how will I get there in time? Laxus scared the horse away and the carriage was taken by the mob!"
"I'll take you there!" Happy exclaimed and suddenly, the little tea cup grew wings and began to fly, shocking Makarov and Levy.
"I'm actually an Exceed." He explained "I won't be able to carry you too long cause of my size. But I can make this two hour journey into a thirty minute journey!"
"Good enough for me!" Levy exclaimed. She then used her magic and the word BATTERINGRAM appeared out of thin air, knocking the door down and knocking the guard unconscious. Levy and Happy then flew out of the house at a high speed into the starry night sky.
"Let's go Happy!" Levy exclaimed.
"Aye miss!" replied Happy.
The mob soon made the journey on foot with Laxus leading them, avoiding all the obstacles they could just to get to Gajeel's castle. Soon, they made it to their destination.
"I'll take the beast head on!" screamed Laxus "Everyone, he probably has an army so prepare for battle!" the mob cheered at Laxus' words and began to make their way to the castle. Inside, The Servants watched the commotion going on outside.
"What the hell is going on?!" asked Natsu.
"It looks like an angry mob!" Gray said in a shocked tone. There was a moment of pure silence.
"D-Do you think Levy sent this mob?" asked Juvia.
"No." Carla replied "Levy would never do such a thing." She took a closer look at the mob and noticed the masculine blonde haired man leading it.
"Wait a minute." Carla said "That must be Laxus!"
"Who?" asked Natsu.
"He's a Dragon Hunter that lives in Levy's hometown." Juvia explained "She told us one day that she was glad to be rid of him when she moved here. Apparently, he's been trying to force a marriage on her-"
"Wait," Gray interrupted "he's forcing her to marry him?!"
"She always said no." Juvia replied "Levy told Carla and Juvia that he's been bothering her about this before she got here. Juvia believes that he must have found out about The Master somehow and is here to be rid of him."
"To be rid of the competition." Gray said with realization "I'm going to warn The Master!"
"Wait," Natsu said "Levy mentioned he's a Dragon Hunter right?"
"Yeah so?" asked Gray.
"The Master is an Iron Dragon Slayer! And I'm a Fire Dragon Slayer, Dragon Slayers and Dragon Hunters Don't get along!" At that moment, Natsu explained the reason why Dragon Slayers and Dragon Hunters don't get along to his friends. With those words said, they all looked at each other in shock. This wasn't good.
"Guys, get an army ready!" Gray screamed while hopping up the stairs "It's been awhile but were gonna have to fight with magic!" he then ran up to The West Corridor to warn Gajeel. Banging was heard on the door and soon, the door was forced open. The Servants hid behind different objects in the home while the mob began to search the Castle.
"Where could it be?" asked EverGreen.
"Don't know and don't care." said Bixlow "As long as it's not in this room, that's all I care about." Suddenly, a huge burst of water hit Bixlow and sent him flying across the room. The one responsible for this was Juvia.
"Attack!" she screamed "Protect the Master, protect The Castle, protect our home!"she then attacked again. "Water slicer!"
"Fire Dragon's: Roar!" screamed Natsu before letting out a huge burst of flames. Carla flew up into the air and began to ram into some of the people in the mob hoping her actions would slow them down.
Gray raced up the stairs and into Gajeel's bedroom. He found Gajeel sitting on his bed with his head down and not even looking to see who entered his room.
"Sir!" Gray exclaimed "Were under attack! You need to get out of here! Quick! The one leading this mob is a Dragon Hunter!" not a single word. Gajeel just stayed the way he was; motionless.
"Sir, come on! We need to get out of here before it's too late! The rest are holding the mob off, we'll all escape when the moment's right!" still nothing. Then, he spoke.
"She betrayed me." He whispered.
"No she didn't!" Gray replied "This is a guy who was harassing her for a while! She wants nothing to do with this man!"
"She sent this mob to kill me." He whispered Gray noticed a tear fall from his face "I thought she loved me; and she betrays me. It's hopeless. It always was hopeless." Gray couldn't believe what he was seeing. Things were looking up for them, now this and Gajeel gave up complete hope. Just then, the door busted open. There, stood Laxus.
"So," Laxus began "you're the 'Horrible Beast' I heard so much about, hmm?" Gajeel didn't reply.
"Did you really think you could end up with a girl like Levy?" he continued "Boy were you wrong-"
"You're wrong!" Gray screamed "Get out of this Castle! Ice Make: Hammer!" A large hammer made out of pure ice formed in the clock's hands and he ran towards Laxus giving him a good swing. But Laxus electrocuted Gray and soon; the clock fell to the ground unconscious.
"Time to die, Beast." said Laxus with an evil grin. Gajeel didn't reply at all.
Levy was flying with Happy at a very fast pace, they passed by the meadow Gajeel saved Levy from those Vulcans. They were getting close.
"Faster Happy!" Levy screamed.
"I'm going as fast as my magic can take me!" he replied.
"We need to get there faster! Laxus is a Dragon Hunter, he-"
"Wait," Happy interrupted "Laxus is a Dragon Hunter?! Why didn't you say that to begin with?"
"Things were going a mile a minute in my head," Levy admitted "I completely forgot."
"This is bad." said Happy "The Master is an Iron Dragon Slayer. Dragon Slayers and Dragon Hunters don't get along for a reason."
"What do you mean?"
"Dragon Slayers are taught by Dragons how to use their magic not only for defense, but to defeat a dragon. Dragon Hunters use Dragon Slayer Magic to murder their opponents as well as Dragons. They have tactics that Dragon Slayers don't use. They're considered forbidden by Dragons." Levy's eyes widened with shock. "We have to get there and quick!"
Levy nodded and then used her magic "Solid Script: Speed!" The word SPEED appeared out of thin air and Happy went through it. Suddenly, his speed picked up and he was going faster than ever.
Oh please, please Levy thought don't let us be too late.
