Ah I just had a sad thought…what am I going to do after this story is over…wahhhh. Well I cant think of that now but please enjoy this chapter!

"Gajeel I swear on Igneel im gonna out your head on a stick!" Natsu shouted waving his arms

"Gihee" Gajeel said rubbing away the dried blood from his lip

Natsu launched himself at Gajeel with the help of his fire boost. Gajeel dodged that attack easily but Natsu whipped around and roundhouse kicked him in the stomach, Gajeel made a grunt noise but grabbed Natsu's ankle and flung him over his shoulder. Natsu was sent flying and landing on his feet, his toes digging into the dried up dirt.

"Is that all yer got, smoky?" Gajeel taunghted with his arms wide out, like 'come at me bro' posture.

"Im just getting fired up" Natsu said with a chuckle and creaked his knucles.

Natsu went to charge at him around but Gajeel just threw out an iron pole from his arm and knocked him on his ass.

"Damn it" Natsu said grinding his teeth together

"Natsuuu!" Happy yelled from above, Gajeel looked up at the cat and then thought about Lily. He glanced around for his small companion and found him, only in his bigger size lifting ruble off of him.

"FOCUS!" Natsu shouted and did a left hook punch in his jaw with a right upper cut to his chin. Gajeel took a couple steps back and Natsu came up with a left fake and did another left hook. Gajeel hand enough and picked up the pink hair nimp.

"EY! You cant do that we're fighting" Natsu said shouting and punching

"Shut da fuck up pink panther!" Gajeel yelled back and tossed him on a rock

Gajeel paced back and forth in front of the angry fire dragon, but he didn't say anything because he noticed that Gajeel was thinking.

Finally Gajeel stopped and squatted down on the floor with his head between his hands. Natsu sighed and got up from his rock and went over to him.

"Iron idiot?" Natsu said and patted the dragons head. And Gajeel growled at the pink hair boy.

"Salamander take that hand away before you don't got one no more" Gajeel glared at him but Natsu just smiled his stupid grin.

Natsu bent down to his level and everything about him changed. Even the aura around him, "Gajeel what's wrong?" he looked him

Gajeel rolled his eyes and put his head back between his hands.

Then they heard a faint coughing buried underneath the rubble of the train. Natsu went over to the cart, mangled into pieces. He looked under the bunker of the train car and saw the orange haired mistress from earlier.

Natsu reached under and grabbed her arm and yanked her out, but didn't let he go. He tossed her down and found a near by scarf, left out because of the trash, and tied her hands together.

"I saw you earilier, wad are you doin here?" He asked her but she just coughed and pretended not to hear him. Natsu got angry and shouted louder, "What are you doing here?!"

"Shut up! I heard you the first damn time stupid" She spat in his face

"Aint no used Pinkie, she aint gonna say shit" Gajeel said and walked over to her, but something was off about him. His hand shot out and reached for the throat of the snake out in front of him. He brought her up to him eye level as for her to see the intense feelings that cascaded over him to show he would no longer allow any mercy.

"G-gajeel….you…c-cant!" She gasped out, Natsu went to stop him but Gajeel shoved him down.

"if I die…h-he'll kno..w" She tried to breath but Gajeel forced her wind pipe closed, squeezing the life out of her soul. Gajeel leaned in close to the girls ear, "Where is he?" She tried to chuckle but he just put more pressure on her throat.

"Tell or yer gonna die right now, cuz I aint got no problem wid that" Gajeel grinned, and she look into his eyes to see if there was any form of mercy…and that's when she feared for her life, she was not longer scared of Ivan, but it was now Gajeel. She saw absolutely no life or spark in his eyes. It was just blood red and dark and empty.

"I…I don't really know" She whispered back and he dropped her to the floor hard, making her head smack off the dirt ground.

"Hey! Stupid don't hurt her" Natsu said reached out but Gajeel lashed out at him, Gajeel formed iron cuffs around her feet and hands. He got up and looked over at Natsu

"Sit down, dummy" Gajeel said and pulled the girl over to the brushes

"EH! You wanna go Metal brain" Natsu said and put up his fists but Gajeel walked past him, "This is why I left" Gajeel said and sat down against the tree with the girl

"Wait…what?" Natsu said and rubbed his forehead like it was hurting.

Gajeel glared over at the girl and she tried to sink into the tree trunk but with no avail.

'Tell 'em" Gajeel said and leaned into her, "Cuz I can tighten 'em and cut off yer feet" He said and looked down at he cuffs.

She looked at him weary and sighed, "Gajeel Redfox, you sure have made a lot…and I mean A LOT of enemies over the years" She looked at him, "But im surprised that you've gotten away with tricking Ivan so far and that he's let you live this long" she said and leaned into the tree trying to get comfortable.

"I…don't" Natsu said counting his fingers as if he's at least trying to figure something out

"Course you don't stupid, your master decided it was best to trick master Ivan and take away something as if for a far warning" She scoffed

"I told yer, I didn't killer her, he just wants someone to blame it on" Gajeel said and glared at her.

"Don't matter, she's dead and he's made. Remember he said an eye for an eye" She said and got in his face. "Don't test me ginger" He spat into her face

Natsu was in the background putting the pieces together, then it all clicked. "I got it!" Natsu shouted jumping up from his seat. And they turned to look at the stupid grinning boy.

"Ok now bear with me, but it sounds as if Ivan had someone special like Happy is to me and something happened while you were there when Ivan found out that you was a spy and he went after you but that someone got in the way and he or she died because of it and you just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time" Natsu shouted triumphfully with his hands on his hips with the smart ass look.

They stared at him for a couple of minutes but Natsu's pose never fazed. "Um…well basically" The girl said. And Natsu slumped, "Im…right…YAHOOOO! IM RIGHT" Natsu said jumping up and down.

"Ok so then im guessing that they are after Levy for payment?" Natsu questioned the girl, "You got it bucko" She said blankly.

"Alright…well then how do we find him?" Natsu said sitting infront of the girl.

"Well that's just it…I don't know. He sends a butterfly for a meeting place and we go. But we haven received one yet"

Natsu stared at her for a moment and thought…hard. Literally smoke was coming from his ears.

"Hmm, I guess were just gonna have to keep you till it comes" Natsu said and sat down in his seat looking at the girl

Sorry, I know this chapter was boring but I had to write it. I promise the next chapter may or may not have more action and more Levy and Gajeel.

Peace homies!
