Chapter 11: The Big Reveal
Gajeel and Levy dashed for the gymnasium locker rooms. Their hearts racing, sweat drenching from their foreheads; it was a race against time.
"Levy!" Gajeel yelled "What time is it?" Levy looked at the time on the wall in shock.
"1:15pm!" Levy replied.
"Crap! We're running out of time!"
"The school day ends in an hour! We can apprehend Coach and still have time!" Levy bashed the door to the Boy's Locker Room open and they ran into the room. They soon found themselves outside the office that belonged to Coach Wakaba.
"Time to end this." Gajeel growled. He was about to barge in when a scream came out from behind that door.
"NOOO!" the voice screamed "T- this can't be happening! It just can't!" Gajeel and Levy exchanged glances at the sound of that scream.
"I think that was Coach Wakaba." Levy admitted to Gajeel. She tried opening the door and discovered it was lock. Levy knocked on the door and got a response.
"GO AWAY!" Coach Wakaba screamed "I want to be alone!" Gajeel pushed Levy out of the way and cracked his knuckles.
"Stand back Shrimp." Gajeel smirked a bit cockily "I got this." The reason he was planning to do this was so that way he could impress Levy. Levy did what she was asked and watched Gajeel kick the door with his leg as if he was in an action movie.
"HIIII-YAAAAAAAAARRRRGGGGGHHHH! SON OF A FUCK!" Gajeel grabbed his leg and fell onto the ground groaning in pain. The door on the other hand was still intact; so much for trying to impress Levy.
"I'll get an ice pack from the nurse's office." Levy sighed before leaving to get the ice pack.
After icing Gajeel's leg, the two began to think on how to get Coach out of his office.
"Should we call Principal Makarov?" Levy asked.
"No." Gajeel admitted "It could make things worse." Gajeel sunk his hands into his pocket and suddenly felt something in his pocket. Gajeel pulled it out and was in shock; it was one of the master keys. He completely forgot he had it. Embarrassed enough already, Gajeel took his key and slid it into the lock and opened the door. Wakaba's office was dark and seemed like no one was there; but the light from the locker room shined into the room and showed how messy and disarray the room became. Levy turned on the lights and there, Coach Wakaba lied on the floor in a fetal position.
Coach Wakaba pulled out of his pocket an item and began to wipe a tear from his eye with this item. From what Levy and Gajeel could see, he seemed heartbroken.
"We were supposed to be together forever." he was muttering "I can't believe it ended so suddenly."
"Your wife dumped you?" Levy asked, shocked and saddened for the gym coach.
"No! Not my wife, my girlfriend!"
"I thought you were married!"
"I am!"
"So you were fucking cheating on yer wife?!" Gajeel asked in shock, now feeling less sympathetic for the coach.
"Exactly!" the two high school students were now exchanging glances and looked at their Coach.
"How long were you and your girlfriend dating behind your wife's back?" Levy asked surprised.
"Since 4 am today!" Coack Wakaba replied "And I did everything by the book! I left her flowers, called her a million times and I even called her parents to ask if I can buy her as a love slave! I did everything right!"
I think the love slave thing is what did it. Levy thought to herself Any woman with dignity would dump this guy. Gajeel looked at the item in Wakaba's hand and gave the coach a hard glare.
"Give me that item in yer fucking hand!" Gajeel ordered. The coach handed it over to Gajeel and studied it; it was a lucky stone. Like as if it was meant for good luck in everything. Wait a minute...
The doors barged open and three people came into the room. Mira seemed to have been running from Natsu and Gray who were very annoyed with her.
"Get back here!" Natsu screamed.
"Yeah!" Gray added "You can't run like this from us! I don't want to go on a date with Juvia! You can't force me!"
"Get away from me!" Mira growled before looking at Coach Wakaba "Coach! I need to talk to you!" Gray and Natsu suddenly looked at the coach and noticed that Gajeel and Levy were also in the room.
"What the hell are you two doing here?" Natsu asked. Gray and Mira looked and noticed Gajeel and Levy were in the room. At that moment, all the attention was on them.
"Ok jerks." Gajeel suddenly growled "I just got the last piece of evidence in and I know who the fuck had attacked Sparky." Levy gasped and looked at Gajeel in shock; did he really figure it out? Everyone exchanged glances before returned their attention to the transfer student "Ya tried to hide yer tracks and really had us there but you failed to keep all yer tracks covered and now I got you!" it was at that moment, Gajeel pointed at the true culprit behind the attacks on Laxus "...MiraJane Strauss yer under arrest for attacking Laxus Dreyar!"
