Chapter 21: The Battle Begins: in a Dangerous Corner!
It took Gajeel a few minutes to turn back to his normal self.
Once everyone was ready, Rin explained the plan.
"All of us run into the library, depending on who bumps into us first, will depend on who Levy will go with," Rin explained.
"So, if we bump into Yama, Levy will go with us," Lily said.
Rin nodded, "and the same will go the opposite way,"
Everyone nodded.
"Follow me," Rin ordered, leaving the room and everyone followed suit.
As they were walking, Levy could feel herself become nervous and scared.
"You're nervous?" Lily asked turning to face Levy.
Levy gave a small smile, nodded, and replied with a small 'yes'.
"What are ya scared about?" Gajeel asked obviously not concerned.
"Gajeel," Lily frowned, "Levy have never done anything like this before…and she has every right to be,"
"Pft," Gajeel rolled his eyes, "if she were stronger, than maybe we won't be having this problem."
Gajeel's word hit Levy so hard, she had hard time breathing.
'I-I thought h-h-he liked m-me…'
Lily wanted to slap Gajeel to the moon and back…but before he could do that, Rin grabbed everyone's attention.
"This is the door that leads to the library," Rin pointed to the door.
The door itself looked like any other door, but this one gave off a strange aura.
It felt like a large a lump was stuck in Levy's throat and the girl could not speak.
"Are we ready?" Rin asked.
Gajeel smiled and laughed a little.
Lily folded his paws and nodded.
Levy sighed and forced a smile.
'It is now or never,' Levy thought.
Rin opened the door slowly and quietly led everyone out the door.
Once everyone was out, Rin led the group; closely behind the silver haired woman was Levy. Lily was a few steps behind the small blue haired girl. Gajeel was the last of the group.
"Gajeel," Rin said softly.
"Yeah, I know…" Gajeel grumbled.
Rin nodded and they began to run as quietly as possible. But Levy was a slow runner and they slowed their pace to a fast walk.
They continued their fast pace until Rin suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Levy whispered.
"Someone's coming," Rin hissed.
"Two or three," Rin said.
"I guess five," Gajeel whispered.
Rin sniffed the air and stiffened, "Yama's here,"
"So are his goonies," Gajeel cringed.
"What?! I can't run to the windows alone!" Levy panicked.
"She's right," Lily began, "Levy does not have the battle experience like Gajeel and I have,"
"Then you take the pint size and leave the fighting to us," Gajeel whispered.
"Shut it!" Rin hissed.
Everyone silenced.
Levy looked at Rin and Gajeel. The two slayers frowned.
"All of them are gone," Gajeel frowned.
"All…but one," Rin said.
Gajeel went into a fighting stance, Lily transformed into his battle mode. Levy uneasily grabbed a pen and prepared herself to fight.
Rin placed her finger on her lips, signaling everyone to be quiet.
Gajeel, Lily, and Levy nodded.
Rin slowly pulls out a long pen out of her teal dress.
Silence surrounded them like a thick blanket. Then it was interrupted by clapping.
Everyone flinched and stiffened.
Out of the darkness, came Yama. He had a loose black pants, a loose red T-shirt, and a strange smile on his face while he was clapping.
"This is going to be interesting…won't it?"
"It's time to end this," Rin hissed.
"Oh, come my love-"
"Shut up!" Rin screamed interrupting Yama and quickly wrote a word and threw it at Yama.
Yama quickly dodged it and wrote a word and threw it at Rin.
Rin blocked it and sent another at Yama.
"Guys, get Levy out of here," Rni said blocking a spell.
"Oh, I thought we were all going to have some fun," Yama whined.
"Alright," Lily said as he grabbed Levy's wrist and began to run.
Yama activated a run barrier, trapping all four inside.
"Tsk," Rin hissed.
Gajeel punched the wall, only to get red errors
"The irony…" Gajeel grumbled.
Levy understood Gajeel's frustration, knowing that both Gajeel and Natsu were trapped inside the guild.
'Okay, I'll try to break the rune,' Levy thought raising her pen.
The small girl looked through the letters, 'These don't look familiar,' Levy thought.
Then, it hit Levy like a ton of bricks. These were not normal letters; they were a very rare form of runes that she had read about once or twice and the small blue haired mage had no idea how to break the rune. Panic began to take over Levy; some tears revealed themselves out and let her pen slip out of her hand to fall onto the floor.
"Levy?" Lily asked.
"I-I can't break this rune," Levy mumbled.
Yama laughed, "Of course you can't, because this is Dragon Script!"
Tears fell down her face.
"You really thought you could break that rune?!" Yama laughed harder.
"Levy," Rin said, "very few people know Dragon Script and it is hard to learn,"
"But if she knew, she wouldn't be as weak as she is now!"
Gajeel growled and threw a punch at the runes.
'He's so dead,' Gajeel thought.
"Gajeel," Rin interrupted Gajeel's thought, "I'll break the rune and you must ake Levy elsewhere."
The large man growled, "I hate running away,"
"You aren't," Rin hissed, "You're just regrouping,"
"It's the same thing!" Gajeel countered.
"This isn't about you, this is about getting Levy out of here," Rin said.
Gajeel sighed, "Fine"
"Okay, once I break the rune, you and Lily will take Levy out of here,"
"You hear that Lil'?" Gajeel asked turning his head to face Lily.
Lily nodded and tried to comfort the small blue haired girl.
Rin lifted her pen and worked on the run.
"Gajeel…when I tell you to run, you run,"
The said man scrunched his nose in disgust; the thought of running away from a fight made him sick to his stomach but now was not the time to be selfish. Everyone had a job to do so, and the ultimate goal was to have Levy reach the window as quickly and easily as possible.
Gajeel nodded.
When Rin broke, several things happened.
Yama quickly wrote a spell and aimed at the crying Levy.
Gajeel ran to block the spell from hitting Levy.
Rin created a barrier that just barely protected everyone, then she turned to the others and yelled, "Run!"
Gajeel scooped up Levy and lifted her up bridal style.
"Let's go," Gajeel told Lily
The cat nodded and both ran into the shadows.
Once they were a good distance away, Rin activated her dragon mode.
"Oh, you're getting serious now?" Yama smiled.
Rin's eyes turned yellow and launched at Yama. Her finger nails were long and sharp.
Just when Rin was just inches away from Yama, Yama quickly dodged her attack, grabbed her wrist and threw her to a nearby book shelf.
The dragon slayer hit her back against the shelf and fell to the ground. Several books fell on top of her.
Yama laughed, "is that all you can muster?"
Rin stood up and growled, "You wish"
…
When Levy thought all those negative voices stopped, Yama had to start them again.
Gajeel slowed his pace to a walk.
"Are we being followed?" Lily asked.
Gajeel shook his head, "no"
The large man turned his attention to Levy, he was about to tell her something, but he heard something in the darkness.
"It looks like we're going to have a party! So come and show yourselves bitches!"
A large group of Yama's followers relieved themselves.
"Tsk, this is going to be fun," Gajeel said.
"What about me?!" Levy asked as more tears were running down her face.
Gajeel sighed, he didn't want to do it, but he had to, "We have to continue with Rin's plans.
"Sounds like you're growing up," Lily snickered.
"Shut up!" Gajeel growled.
By this point, the group had completely surrounded the three mages.
"Lily I'll distract them, so you can take Levy someplace safe,"
"I told you-"
"I know," Gajeel cut Lily off, "I just want her to screw her head back on right,"
Lily nodded, "Alright, I'll be back as soon as I can,"
"You better," Gajeel handed Levy to Lily, "It won't be a real party if I beat all these all by myself,"
"I'm sure you can hold them off till I get back," Lily smiled as he activated hi aera and flew high into the air.
Levy tried to lean into Pantherlily's arms.
"He's going to try to escape!" someone called out.
"Stop that cat!"
Lily smirked a little.
"Oi," Gajeel said getting everyone's attention, "I'm your opponent!"
A few tried to hit Lily, but the cat was too far up in the air and disappeared behind a few bookshelves and darkness.
Gajeel cracked his knuckles and smiled evilly, "Let's get this party started!"
…
Lily could hear and some of the light that the spells created by Rin and Yama. The cat could also hear the battle Gajeel was fighting.
'I need to hurry,' Lily thought.
The cat landed somewhere in one of the many book aisles.
Levy was but still a bit upset and tears were still running down her face.
"You need to snap out of it." Lily adviced Levy.
Levy turned her gaze to Lily.
"Do you remember what I told you in the hotel room?"
The girl nodded, she may not be the strongest, but she was the smartest.
"Alright," Lily nodded, "keep that in mind…I need to go and help Gajeel,"
Levy nodded again.
Lily gently placed Levy on her feet and turned to face the large cat.
"I'll do what I can," Levy said.
Lily smiled, "That is all we ask,"
The cat widened his wings and flew in the air back in the direction of Gajeel.
'It's time to do my part," Levy thought as a fire lit behind her eyes.
The girl ran toward windows.
'I can do this'
…
Rin and Yama fought; fire, water, and sparks flew.
Rin launched herself again at Yama and her long mails finally managed to scratch Yama across his chest.
The scratch, ripped his rob and broke some skin so that he was bleeding, but just barely.
"Feisty, are we?" Yama miled then is disappeared, the blood won't stop and it slowly began to bleed a little heavier.
It was Rin's turn to smiled, "While we were busy fighting, I slowly activated a deadly poison on the tips of my nails,"
Yama's facial expression changed to a serious and grave.
"Once the poison enters the body, it slowly kills the person by preventing the blood to clot…Check mate," Rin smiled.
Then Yama laughed hysterically, the laugh caught Rin off guard.
"I believe I am the one to say that my dear," Yama laughed.
Rin frowned.
"I," Yama gestured to himself, "am not the real Yama,"
Rin's blood ran cold.
"I am a doppelgänger," the fake Yama smiled.
"But where is…the real one?" Rin asked.
"Why don't you ask the blue haired girl?"
Rin went to run to find Levy, but the doppelgänger launched a spell to shackle one of Rin's ankles to preven the slayer from saving Levy.
"Sorry deary, but the real Yama would be quite mad if I let yo go find the small one,"
'Shit! I'm sorry Levy!'
…
Levy ran to the windows.
"I made it," Levy puffed.
"Yes you did," a familiar male voice said breaking the silence.
"B-but, I thought you were fighting Rin,"
Yama smiled, "my doppelgänger is,"
B-but why are you targeting me?" Levy asked.
"Because, my dear, out of the four, you are the weakest,"
Wait! Watch out of that...cliff...
...Do you guys want a parachute? *tries to smile...but fails*
Now, don't be mad at me, I'm doing a pretty good job updating every few days :3
Time for reviews! *jazz hands*
To Digi-fanCatt, okay...I kind of lied, but I had a good reason, Master Makarov don't me not to tell you what really happened...but he finally gave me the okay because I hate lying and I am bad at it :/ ...so what really happened was that one Zareff's goonies got to you and my dog and I somehow saved you. But we had to erase your memory and apparently we didn't get rid of all if it...but now you know the truth
To ThreeDarkAngels, I'm so glad that you are still reading the story!
To Deathstar6506, I have never heard of Kik until you mentioned it, but I will see if I can get the app...anyway...What doesn't kill you makes you stronger! Stand a little taller... *continues to sing for a bit and then trails off embarrassed*
So, there is a reason why I'm torturing Levy...a bit...because I have a big plan for her...it involves the book that Levy read, the unlimited magic, and the spell she practiced a few chapters earlier...hmmm *smiles evilly* guess you will have to wait for the next chapter! X3
