Kyto's Special Writing Place:Any idea what happened with Levy?

Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail.

~Chapter 13~

Erza leaped backwards, stepping away from the figure while a glow appeared from her hand as she reequipped a sword into it.

''Erza Scarlet..'' The figure spoke, then stepped out of the shadows. Revealing his dark blue messy hair, his red eyes, mesomorph figure and tanned skin tone. His lips were lifted up into a smirk.

Erza just stood there, her sword in her hand, ready to fight the moment the enemy strikes. She knows that striking right away will not end well due to the fact that she has no idea what this guy's magic will be, and from the look on his face, he's clearly someone who is confident that he would be able to beat her. Usually that would be a good thing, because that would mean the guy would be underestimating her, however, in this situation, it didn't appear like the case, considering he knew who she was.

Erza's grip on the sword tightened. ''How do you know my name?'' She asked carefully, leaving her guard up in case of a sneak attack.

''How wouldn't I know you? You are a famous Fairy. Some people even rumor that you'll become Fairy Tail's Titania when you're older, however, I truly believe that role will be more suited for the Demon, Mirajane.'' He answered in a low husky tone.

Erza didn't like the guy one bit. She gripped her sword harder as she bit her lip. She inspected him once again, checking if he was familiar, however, nothing came into her head. He seemed to know a lot about her guild. She knew well that they weren't as famous as he was saying, and she knew fully well that her and Mirajane have never appeared in any magazine she had ever seen or heard of. So one question was stuck into her head.

'Who the hell is the guy?'

''Move out of the way or else I'll have to cut through you.'' Erza warned, her eyes turning into a cold glare.

''That's what I was hoping for...'' The man said. He stuck his hand in front of him and a rapier appeared. Erza's eyes widened, realizing that the man had the same magic as her. He immediately leaped towards her and started swinging his sword against hers, trying to land a direct hit against her.

Erza made quick work of defending herself against the man's blade. The man was skilled with his rapier, however, she had seen better. She leaped backwards, away from his blade and re-quipped a spear into her hand, which she immediately threw at him, but the man surprised her when he grabbed the spear with his hand just as it was about to strike his face.

''Like that's gonna hit me.'' He taunted and ran towards her, reequipping a second rapier in his hand and began striking Erza again who had just recently requipped 2 swords as well.

Their blades were dancing together as both their movements were perfectly paced. Erza bit her lower lip and jumped backwards and while she was in mid-air, she re-quipped into her newly repaired Black Wing Armor.

''Black Wing Armor. It's a magic armor that increases the strength of 1 attack.'' The guy said with boredom, as if he sees something like this everyday.

'Just how much does this guy know?'

Erza wondered as she held the sword in front of her, charging it up with magical power. She would need to make sure she lands this strike or else the whole point of the armor would be meaningless. Thinking strategically, she thought that hitting his body would be a waste, considering he had both his rapiers to defend himself with, as well as the fact it would be very hard to get a direct hit against him, so instead of doing so, she would aim for his rapiers, and while he's re-quipping into new ones, she would land a strike through his body.

'That should work.'

She felt the blade was fully charged, as she saw the red aura that surrounded it. She leaped towards the man, however, instead of him defending himself with his rapiers, he ran straight towards her. Erza was confused as to what he was doing. From what he said, he should have known that his rapiers will end up breaking, unless...

Erza widened her eyes as she realized what the man was trying to do. The way he looked confident... His rapiers are probably strong enough to withstand the power from her sword. She was about to jump away from him and think of another plan, however, they were close enough that the man just swung his body around, creating a twister as his rapiers took the role of chainsaws. Just as he was about to approach and slice Erza, a few arrows were shot from the bushes around them that headed towards the guy.

He stopped his move as he saw the arrows getting closer, and with his rapiers, he hit them away, however, just as he was about to turn back towards Erza, she swung her sword across his chest, allowing blood to gush out of it.

The man stumbled backwards and fell on his back.

Erza remained focused around her, wondering where the arrows had came from. Her question was answered when Lucy walked out of the bushes with a few bruises and scratches on herself along with a tall man with a horse costume on.

''Lucy?''

The moment Lucy called Virgo, she appeared right away, and without bothering to ask what she would like, like her other spirits usually do, she went head on with the man who had just pushed Lucy into the ground.

Virgo began swinging her fists back and forth, exchanging a few blows with the man. Lucy was unable to do anything, considering she was her only fighting spirit left since Cancer already left, and even if he hadn't, she hadn't reached the correct amount of magical power to summon 2 spirits at once yet. She looked around the area for anything that would end up helping her spirit, finding a few rocks, she picked them up and threw them at the man. Missing a few shots while bull eyeing the rest.

The man noticed the rocks that were being thrown at him. He ignoring the maid that he was currently in a battle with and looking at the attacker, which allowed her to land in a few blows against his torso, pushing him back with her punches.

Lucy ran towards the man, and as she approached, she yelled ''Lucy... KICK!'' and kicked him in the face, pushing him a few meters back onto the ground.

''Yea!'' Lucy said, raising her fist up in the air.

''Would you like to punish me now, Princess?'' Virgo's questioned with a monotonous voice.

''No, Virgo. Stop asking that, I'll never punish you.'' Lucy answered while sighing.

''As you wish. I shall now take my leave.'' Virgo bowed and evaporated into tiny crystals.

Lucy was about to start running towards the place where Levy's scream came from, though she heard the man behind her chuckle.

''You really think a few lousy punches and kicks are enough to kill me?'' He asked, as if Lucy was insane.

''Why can't you just stay down? I don't plan on killing you anyway.'' Lucy asked angrily. She was getting tired of the situation, not to mention she had ran out of spirits she could summon that were good in combat.

''Because I'm not one of those weaklings out there, girl. And you have proven yourself as a challenge.'' The man started, he discarded his jacket, throwing it on the ground, causing a thud. He got into fighting stance as his fists lit up. ''Let's get the show started again.''

Lucy's only option was to stall, until she found something to fight him with, because at the moment she was out of any other options. She pulled her head back and blew up her cheeks. ''Nebula!'' She said, a magic circle appeared in front of her, causing rainbow coloured dust to push out of her mouth and cover the surrounding area. The man was blinded, unable to see anything around him.

''Oi! Blondie! You think this little trick will work? Just wait 'till I find you!'' He warned and started running through the mist, running into trees every now and then.

Lucy took this opportunity to run. Being the caster of the spell, she was able to see through it, even if not clearly, she could still make out the scenery around her. She made a run for it, however, she tripped over the man's jacket.

''Kya!'' She yelled as slammed into the ground face first. The man must have heard it because his foot steps were getting closer. Lucy panicked as she tried standing up again.

She could make out the man's figure as he came closer and closer to her. She was about to run again, however, a certain glow on the ground grabbed her attention. She widened her eyes as she found out that the glow was actually the golden key, Sagittarius. She figured that the key was the reason the jacket made a thud when it fell on the ground.

She knelt down quickly and grabbed it in her hand.

''I know we haven't made a contract yet, however, this is urget!'' Lucy said to the key in her hand. ''Open! Gate of the Archer! Sagittarius!''

A blue magic circle appeared from the tip of the key and a figure appeared. It was wearing a horse costume, however, Lucy did not question.

''How may I help you, Moshi-Moshi!'' Sagittarius asked while saluting Lucy.

''Can you see through the mist?'' Lucy asked urgently, watching as the man came closer and closer. The noise she had made was bound to get her location discovered anyway.

''Of course. Moshi-Moshi'' He answered. Lucy gave him a quick nod and pointed her finger at the man approaching her.

''Get him! Don't kill him though.'' She commanded. Sagittarius nodded and pulled a few arrows from his back and lined them up on the bow string. He pulled it back, closing one eye for concentration and shot them straight at the man. The arrows hit his thighs, immobilizing him, and making him fall on the ground.

''Damn.'' He cursed under his breath. ''I was suppose to sell that.''

''Remember not to do anything stupid again.'' Lucy warned and was about to head towards Levy's location when she heard the sound of swords clashing. She knew it would be Erza, and it seemed closer than Levy's area, so she hurried towards the location the sword clashing came from with Sagittarius behind her.

As she approached the bushes near the red head, she saw Erza in her Black Wing Armor -she had told her about it- leaping towards the man. From Lucy's point of view, she would have thought that the man would be better off defending, however, it surprised her, and from Erza's reaction, he surprised her as well when he jumped towards her.

She then saw Erza stop in her tracks and the man spinning around into tornado as his 2 rapiers acted like chainsaws.

''SAGITTARIUS! NOW!'' Lucy ordered, her heart beat getting faster as the man getting closer and closer to Erza.

''Hai! Moshi-moshi!'' Sagittarius replied and pulled a few arrows across the bow and launched them at his target. He immediately stopped his hurricane and hit the arrows with his rapier, losing his attention on Erza, who used the opportunity to cut through him, not too deep, but deep enough to make him go unconscious.

She however did not drop her guard and faced the Lucy's way with her sword in her hand. That's when Lucy decided to step out.

''Lucy?''

Lucy smiled and ran up to Erza, who gave a weird look to the man behind her. Lucy noticed. ''Oh, this is Sagittarius.'' Lucy introduced.

''It's nice meeting Lucy's friends, however, I must take my leave now, and Lucy, do not forget to make a contract with me. Moshi-Moshi'' He saluted with his hand and disappeared back into his world.

''What happened to you?'' Erza asked, pointing at the scratches and bruises Lucy had on her body.

''Oh, I ran into someone, that's how I got Sagittarius, anyway, let's get going, I heard Levy scream a several minutes ago. I hope shes okay.'' Lucy said then started running towards where her friend was suppose to be, Erza following shortly after as she re-quipped back into her usual attire.

Levy immediately covered her mouth to hide the scream that had just escaped her lips. She took a closer look at the figure that had risen from the bushes and barely held the urge to scream again.

The figure was a bruised boy with long spiky black hair. His clothing was ripped up and his body was covered in blood, cuts and bruises all over. It didn't take a smart person to realize that he was in a fatal state, This caused Levy to stop panicking and immediately rush to his side to help him, though the moment she moved, the boy started falling face first towards the ground.

''Solid Script: Mattress!'' Levy said, flicking her wrist in front of her, causing a mattress shaped like the word 'mattress' to appear right under the boy, allowing him to have a painless fall.

She ran towards him again, kneeling when she reached the spot beside him and inspected his body. Just as she thought, he was in a fatal state and he needed treatment right away.

''Solid Script: Bandage!'' Levy said again, flicking her wrist and bandages appeared within the shape of the word itself. She slowly started cleaning the boy's wounds with what she knows. She was lucky she had read a book or two about first aid, so she knew how to deal with situations that involved injuries, however, she had never read anything for a case this serious, meaning she had both her fingers crossed inwardly that she was doing the right thing.

Several minutes passed and Levy wiped her sweaty forehead. She had tied up most of the boy's injuries and just sat there beside him. She did not want to leave his side.

Dusk was slowly approaching. In a few minutes, the sun would set and who knows what could come and hurt the boy more than he already is. She decided to stay seated next to him and wait for her companions to arrive.

''Levy-chan!'' Lucy yelled as she came out of the bushes, startling the said girl.

'Well that was fast!' She thought and smiled.''Lu-chan!'' She ran towards her and hugged her, which made Lucy wince in pain. ''Ah, Sorry, what happened?''

''Sorry we couldn't come earlier, both Erza and I ran into someone and well... We were busy. Are you okay?''

''Yes, why?''

''We heard you let out a high-pitched scream, so we thought you were in trouble.''

''Well, my scream was because of this guy.'' Levy pointed at the boy behind her who was unconscious on the mattress she had created.

''Who's he?'' Erza asked as she appeared from the bushes.

''I don't know. He just came badly injured, which made me scream. I thought he was a zombie.'' Levy confessed, earning a slight giggle from Lucy ''But then I realized he wasn't so I treated his wounds, though I'm not sure if they're enough. He needs proper treatment right away.''

''Well let's go then.'' Lucy said, encouraging the idea and hoping she would get out of the forest before it would get any darker.

''What about the mission?'' Levy asked.

''Don't worry, I found the necklace.'' Erza said, re-quipping it into her hand.

''When di-'' Lucy started, but was cut off immediately.

''Just now when we were running, that's why I was late. I spotted it while you were running here. It was beside a cave, so I'm guessing some kind of animal found it, then lost interest a few minutes after that and decided to abandon it.'' Erza explained.

''Well, let's go then.'' Levy said, walking up to the boy. ''How are we gonna pick him up though?'' She asked, her hands cupping her chin.

''Oh I know!'' Lucy said then reached into her key chain and pulled out a silver key. ''Open! Gate of the Clock Constellation! Horologium!''

The key's tip made a sea-blue coloured magic circle and a grand clock appeared with hands, feet and a head at the top of it.

''Hello, Lucy-sama.'' The clock said with a weirdly toned voice.

''Horologium, can you please carry him inside you? and is there anyway you can heal him?'' Lucy ordered.

''No. I'm Sorry. Healing is not my specialty, however, I will make sure he gets comfortable inside me.''

''Okay, thank you.'' Lucy said and started to walk as the boy's body started to glow and he appeared inside Horologium.

''Let's go then!'' Levy said, running out of the forest as fast as she could, not only because she wanted to save the boy, but because it was dark and she didn't want to stay there longer.

''Wait!'' Lucy called after her, following her friend. Erza did the same, but she stayed beside Horologium in case someone attacks.

The boy woke up with his whole body aching. He opened his eyes slowly, allowing light to enter his red orbs. He let out a sigh as he remembered what had happened.

He had been stupid.

He had let the 2 criminals mess him up when it was suppose to be the other way around.

That's when it hit him.

'Where Am I?'

He tried sitting up, which was painful though he did not care and managed to sit up with his body slouched down from the tiredness he was experiencing. He rubbed his slowly and moved his neck around, attempting to crack it.

''Oh, you're up.'' The boy was startled when he heard a voice coming from the doorway. He turned around. His red eyes met with Erza's brown ones.

''Where the hell am I?'' he asked rudely.

''No worries, we were happy to help you.'' Erza replied, ignoring his question.

''Seriously woman, where am I?'' The boy asked this time, rudely again however his voice carried more stern than before.

Erza let out a sigh. ''You're in a medical clinic. We found you in the jungle badly bruised and on the verge of death, my companion helped you out. Without her you would be dead.''

''I asked where I am, not your life story.''

Erza's eyebrows twitched in annoyance as she felt her temper getting shorter and shorter. She took in deep breaths trying to calm herself down. ''Anyway...'' She started. ''Answer the 5 Ws.''

''No.''

''Who are you?''

''No.''

''What happened that had you so badly bruised in the forest?''

''None of your business.''

''Where are you from?''

''Shut up, I'm tired.''

Erza's clenched her fists. She was not angry at the moment. She was furious.

'How dare he reply like that! Didn't he realize that WE were the reason hes alive in bed right now?'

''Fine, at least tell me your name.''

''Why?''

''Because I asked you.'' Erza replied. Her tone was very serious as she made the deadliest glare she could possibly muster. The boy flinched under her gaze.

''It's Gajeel. Gajeel Redfox.'' The boy answered, not meeting her scary eyes.

''Well Gajeel, it was nice meeting you.'' She said, saying the word 'nice' through gritted teeth.

''I can't really say the same to you though.'' He mumbled under his breath, making his words go unheard by her.

''Erza!'' Levy came in through the door, then realized that Gajeel was up, so she waved at him with a smile. ''I'm Levy. I'm glad to see your up. Nice to meet you.''

Gajeel scoffed and turned his gaze away from her. The blunette looked down for a brief moment before remembering why she was calling Erza in the first place.

''The doctor said we can leave him here if we needed to leave.''

''Oh. I guess we should go back to Fairy Tail then, no need staying here if this guy is up now.'' Erza said. Her usual attitude would include her staying by the person's side until they are fully healed, though the guy pushed her buttons and she now couldn't stand the thought of staying another day with him.

''Well, let's go packing then. Lu-chan said the train leaves in an hour.'' Levy turned around and was about to run before she waved ''Bye.'' and left, as if they have been friends for the past 90 years.

''Shes the one who saved your life by the way.'' Erza said and started walking away from the room.

''Thank you...'' Gajeel muttered under his breath, making sure no one heard him. ''Well, time to get outta here!''
