Ultor removed his mask, revelaing several scars on his stripped grey hair, alongside the mark of Tartarus, an eye surrounded by flames. He removed his claws as-well revealing it to be covered in scars. He sent a look at Anguis, that was still wrapped around Levy. He turned to Gajeel, and readied himself in a fighting stance, before the two dashed at each other, their fists connecting with the others face at roughly the same time., however Ultor reacted faster kicking his robotic leg into Gajeels gut, s´grabbing it and forced Gajeel to the ground.
"YOU SAID NO WEAPONS".
Ultor smirked as he lifted Gajeel, only to smash him into the ground once more, "What weapon, this is just the leg that you took away from me".
"WHAT".
Ultor flung him into the air kicking him into the dirt when he fell to his level.
"You didn´t think forming a contract with a magic devouring demon is cheap do you, but selling my soul to that wretched beast*" he said glancing at Anguis, "Is nothing against avenging my family" Ultor launched himself at Gajeel. However Gajeel lifted his now thorn ridden arm, and slammed it into Ultors chest, who quickly jumped back.
"Cheating now are we" Ultor groaned.
Gajeel smirked, "What are you talking about, this is just my arm".
"Clever move" Ultor said slamming his leg into the ground, "Guess were on equal terms".
The two collided one more, Ultor now attempting to grab Gajeel by the neck, and Gajeel trying to slice Ultor to pieces. Ultor grabbed Gajeels wrist as it closed in, he twisted it and a nasty cracking sound could be heard, identifying it as broken. Gajeel growled in pain as he used his arms to rip a huge rift in Ultors arm. They both staggered back in pain. The two of them both paused for a minute as they recovered, but Ultor too the first move, launching fist first into Gajeels face, landing on top of his he continued to punch him into the ground. Gajeel grabbed his arms with his one hand, holding them with an iron grip, and butted his head against his chest to knock him into the ground. Ultor however flicked himself up again, and quickly placed his leg across the slayers chest, grebbing into the dirt around him and pinning him down, rendering him unable to move, except his legs. Ultor applied pressure, and felt how the air was slowly squeezed out of the slayer, even with his iron body.
"You will die now Gajeel, your bones crushed, your lunges completely emptied of air, and your mate will sleep forever, truly a sleeping beauty and beast story" Ulto sent a look to Lily that had raised his sword, he gestured to Levy, that Anguis was constricting.
"You can squeeze pant all you want pant but you´ll never pant, be able to kill me" using his legs to pull him slightly up, he knew that he needed air, but Ultor increased the pressure, every breath he took felt like somebody had an anvil on his chest, held by an elephant, on a whale. He would have to find a way out of this, suddenly Gajeel sent a spike through his chest, piercing Ultors leg that the hunter quickly retracted. Gajeel got up and turned around, his hand fixing itsel fas it turned into long iron covered blades. Ultor drew out his crossbows, arming them with explosive arrows.
"Want to use magic now do you, fine, but then no more rules, any magic, and any tricks" he faded away. Gajeel turned around trying to locate him, he suddenly felt tension by his neck, and turned, only to have an arrow shot into his back, Gajeel turned again, being shot in his arm this time.
"SLAYER ART IRON MAIDEN" he roared as the spikes on his arms grew longer, detached themselves, and shot into the ground, covering the entire field with small spikes poking out certain places. Suddenly several spikes shot out, and instantly formed a cage around Ultor, using his arms the slayer directed the spikes, crashing together in a spiky mess, though Ultor was nowhere to be seen. Over every part of the field the same process continued, not giving the hunter a moment of rest, but it took it´s strain on Gajeel, and neither of them could continue forever. Suddenly blood began to drip from some of the spike, and almost immediately, Gajeel felt a punch to his face, and he was teleported out of his spike field.
Ultor materialized and shot several arrows into Gajeels arms, that all penetrated his armor, the slayer pulled them out, biting into thte medal he "IRON DRAGONS ROARED" Ultor in the chest, the slayer managed to stand, but with several deep wounds. Ultor retaliated by electrifying his hands, and began in close combat with Gajeel, hitting the slayer in the chest, his iron body conducted the electricity quickly, and painfully. The slayer shivered as he felt the volts run through his body, Ultor slammed his leg into Gajeels chest, knocking the air out of him, Ultor once again grabbed his chest and squeezed, and pinned him to the ground with arrows.
"You arn´t getting out this time" he squeezed harder and a cracking sound could be heard as Gajeel´s armor shattered.
Gajeel struggled, but when he saw Levy, he sighed, "I will let you kill me, if you will spare Levy".
The hunter stopped squeezing, "Maybe if you plead for her life".
Gajeel sighed, "Please, kill me, but leave Levy".
Ultor smiled as he squeezed tighter, "Deal".
"GAJEEL DON´T TRUST HIM, HE´LL KILL HER ANYWAY" Lili shouted, urging to attack.
"We havn´t got any other chance, I don´t want to die" Gajeel coughed, "But I wan´t her to survive more than that".
Ultor grimaced as he squeezed harder, Gajeel grunted in pain, but it wasn´t enough, Ultor hit his face, blood flying out of it, still no reaction, Ultor shot his leg, still not reaction, the hunter was squeezing around the slayers chest with the same power as an anaconda, and yet not a whimper, no begging, no screams of pain, Ultor turned to Levy, and Anguis threw her into his hand, Ultor drew out the arrow, no blood leapt out, and not even a scratch was left, Levy opened her eyes groggily, and took a second to realize her situation.
"Gajeel what going on, let me down you bastard" he screamed into Ultors ear.
"Don´t worry dragon mate, he´ll die very painfully, and I´ll let you go immediately after" he increased the power he used to crush Gajeel as a loud shattering noise revealed that a rib had broken, and Gajeel grunted in pain.
"Don´t worry about me shrimp, if you live I´ll be fine".
Levy got tears in her eyes, "Gajeel, please don´t die".
Ultor lifted the slayer and slammed him into the ground.
"Dream on".

Sorry for the late release, and the crappy chapter, but I´ve not only been sick, but my exams have finally started, and I know I should have released the chapter yesterday, but when I came home and continued the chapter, I eventually just fell asleep, and forgot to post it. Anyway, thank you for the compliments and favorite Ashleynormanann, and to Vic11 for favoriting it. And here´s my thought:
The scars: Well Anguis is his familiar, that gains power from drinking Ultors blood, hence why he constantly bites into Ultors arm, which allows him to work as a channeling to increase his powers, but it puts a huge stress on his body, hence the scars.
