~After Story~
-:Chapter Fifty-Three:-
.
Natsu blocked a powerful swing from Zero. The clashing of metal meeting metal echoed in the room. Swinging the sharp side of the sword he managed to scratch Zero's cheek, a small string of blood ran down his pale skin.
Zero gritted his teeth. This little brat could fight, not so bad either. The older man jumped back at another slash from the sword.
"What's wrong, Zero? Afraid to lose?" Natsu mocked him, his left brow cocked. Zero flipped back some strands of his white hair.
"I wouldn't be so loudmouthed, Dragneel." he said, his red eyes glowing with bloodlust. Standing upright, Natsu set on a scowl as he followed the other man take a few steps towards the fireplace next to his desktop. His grip around the sword-shafts tightened.
He had to be careful, one little mistake and he's screwed. That marker rear can easily kill someone and with enough strength separate his head from the rest of his body.
"It's been too long since my last fight with you, boy."
"Nine month isn't 'too long' as you claim it to be." Natsu retorted. He ran over and slashed the twin swords in an X. Zero were fast to dodge and block the attack. But Natsu wouldn't stop just yet. With a quick move he spun around, jumping up in the hair. His booted foot hit Zero right in the chest, sending him into the desktop so it broke in a half.
Taken aback by the boy's surprise attack he shook his head, small pieces of wood fell out of his white nest of hair.
Natsu set the tip of the swords on each side of his neck, the sharp blades pressing against his throat dangerously hard. With wide eyes he stared into Natsu's obsidian orbs.
"I will give you two options, Zero." the pink haired man hissed.
"Tell me, brat." Zero choked out, not trying to move to much.
"One, give me the contract so I can destroy it. Two, if you refuse, I will slowly torture you until I get it. Are we understood?" Zero gulped, sweat prickled his forehead. Natsu pressed the swords tighter against Zero's throat. "Answer me!" his yell echoed in the now silent room.
"May I ask one thing?" Natsu silently stared at the man. "How do you plan on getting out of this, alive?"
"I have my tricks." he answered with a cold voice.
Lucy held onto the gun as if it was poisoned.
"It won't bite you, Lucy." Hjin whispered to the girl behind him. Lucy wrinkled her nose, not likening the pistol, yet she had to be strong… for Natsu's sake.
"I know but I am not familiar with weapons." she told him. Hjin rose an eyebrow.
"Isn't your old man a cop officer?"
"Yes, but still.." Hjin patted her head.
"Come on, the way is clear." his arm snuck around her shoulders as he dragged her with him down the short corridor. Lucy tensed with each sound. Hjin took pity for the girl. She wasn't used to these things and never will, it's for Natsu and his team that are the illegal people. "Relax, I won't let you get hur-"
"Did you hear that?" Hjin quickly took Lucy and forced her to sit behind a pole. Taking stand before her as a wall he peeked over the edge, seeing two men look around with pistols in their hands.
"It came further down." the other answered his friend. Slowly they came closer. Hjin felt how Lucy's grip on his jacket tightened. Carefully he patted her lower arm, telling her to let him go. And so she did.
"Stay here." he whispered to her before he sprinted out of their hiding place. Gunshots and screams echoed in the corridor. Lucy closed her eyes, covering her ears so she didn't have to hear it. She waited for another ten seconds, in case there would come more guards. But when no sound came she opened her eyes and peeked over from behind the pole.
Hjin stood with his foot on one of the man's back, pointing a gun at the enemy's head.
"Now, answer my question and you will be spared." she heard him hiss to the unknown man, who shook in fear for the taller male.
"A-Anything! I will tell you anything!" the scared man stammered, his eyes wide of fear as he look up to Hjin.
"Good." Hjin said. "Now, where can I find Laxus?"
"He-He is down i-in the basement!" the man answered him, pointing towards the corridor.
"Ok, you lead us there."
Hjin grabbed the man's back of the man's shirt collar and pushed him forward. "B-But…!" the man got cut off with Hjin pressing his pistol against his back.
"Move." he growled to the hostage.
~õ~
Gajeel, Gray and Jellal stood on the roof of the building. They had heard the gunshot from Hjin and prepared to sneak in.
"Okay, Jellal. Give me the toolkit." Gray said, holding out his hand to take said kit.
"What? Didn't you bring it?" the blue head asked.
"No, I told you to bring it here."
"When did you tell me that? !" Jellal shot out with his hands.
"Back at FTG! I said 'Jellal, can you take the toolkit so I can lockup the door?' and you said you would!"
"I don't remember you saying that!"
From the very beginning of the argument taking off two of his earrings and insert them to the keyhole, moving them around. While he did so the other two males still were arguing with each other.
"Why can't you listen to me? !" Gray yelled, his voice rising.
Jellal's left eyes twitched. "I said I don't remember hearing you say that!" he retorted, not less irritated than Gray.
"Maybe if you weren't so busy cuddling with Erza, then maybe you could've remembered!"
"Don't drag Erza into this!"
"Too late! I already did! Erza! Erza! Erza!"
"You ain't better than me then pal!"
"What's that supposed to mean? !"
"You go 'round sucking face with Cana every second!"
"Don't drag Cana into this!"
"I already did! Cana! Cana! Cana! CANA!"
Their heads met with a heavy bang and the two of them glared daggers at each other. To the right of them sat Gajeel, his mood slowly being executing by his babies to friends fight.
"Play-Doo hair!"
"Fruitless shit!"
"Dickhead!"
"Exhibitionist pedophile!"
"EMO!"
"HOW THE FUCK AM I AN EMO? !"
"YOU LOOK LIKE ONE! EMO!"
"Guys…" Now Gajeel finally had got up the lock and slowly opened door as he turned to look at his loud companions.
"WITH YOUR DARK HAIR YOU LOOK EVEN MORE EMO!"
"IT'S NOT ME WHO HAVE A TATOO IN THE FACE!"
"IT'S A BIRTHMARK!"
"Oi…" Gajeel cut in, yet again the other two males didn't take notice on him.
Gray and Jellal started to push at each other, taking steps closer to Gajeel as they continued throwing meaningless words at each other.
~õ~
Natsu looked up when two very familiar voices came from above. Frowning he looked up.
His eyes widened in fear as he saw Gajeel try to push away an arguing Gray and Jellal.
"Uh-oh…" he whispered when Gajeel slipped over and now his friends fell down towards him. Trying to escape was too late.
It said SMACK! and the four males laid in a big heap, groaning and coughing.
"What the fuck?" Jellal said, shaking his head as he looked around.
"I would like to say the same!" a hiss came from underneath. Looking down he saw how Natsu was being crushed underneath Gajeel and Gray's bodies with his arms and shoulder blades to be spared, sticking out along with his head.
Natsu glared at the three of them.
"Get off me you gorillas!" he yelled at them, slamming his fists down on the tree floor. Quickly they did and helped him up on his feet again. "Where did you guys come from?"
All three pointed up to the ceiling.
"I know that already, but the rest? The girls, Hjin?"
"The girls is taking the backside." Gajeel muttered, dusting off his pants.
"And Hjin and Lucy is searching for Lisanna."
"Oka- WAIT! IS LUCY HERE? !" taking a fistful of Gray's collar he brought him close to his face. "You can't be serious!"
"She insisted that she wanted to help." Jellal defended Gray, stepping in beside the two of them.
"Idiot woman!" the pinkette exclaimed, his palm connecting with his forehead.
"Natsu-" Gray started but got cut off when Natsu began to speak again.
"I've destroyed the damn contract. Now we have to take care of Laxus and him." he empathized 'him' as he pointed to Zero who still laid on the broken desktop, the twin-katanas nearly cutting his neck.
"Who's that?" Gajeel asked and took a step closer, seeing that the man was unconscious.
"Brain Zero, old friend to Katsu." Natsu answered. "He refused to give me the contract, but I got him to talk."
Jellal and Gray cringed as they imagined how Natsu forced the answer out of Zero.
BEEP
"What was that?" Gajeel asked and another beep came after another.
"Dunno." Jellal shrugged not really caring.
BEEP
"Hey Natsu… he couldn't have laid a bomb in here?"

All fours' eyes widened.
"RUN!"
Hahahaha, what an ending! XD I really have to laugh at this! Hope you could see how their faces looks like as they realized it! ;)
And I hope you enjoyed the chapter! 54 will bee out in meantime! :DDD
The scene on the roof is from my own experience! My brothers were up on the roof (two-story house to fix a window and when they were up they had forgotten the toolkit and well, they started to argue and say things to each other. I was outside at the meantime, sunbathing by the pool (yes we have a pool and it is coold T_T). I looked up and saw how they slowly crept closer to the edge and SPLASH! they had fallen into the pool.
Gosh, I laughed so hard XD my brothers weren't too happy though (: poor, poor innocent brothers :P
Anyhow, please leave a review! ^^ favs and alerts are very welcomed too! :D
