"Here we go!" Lucy said as she dropped Natsu on to E.R.4.'s ship. Since Gray was able to keep it from moving, he wouldn't have to worry about getting motion sick. Once Natsu felt he wasn't moving on a vehicle anymore, he felt like himself again.

"Solid ground!" Natsu said as he jumped right up.

"More or less." Erza said.

"We're still on a ship. I was just able to stop it with my ice." Gray said.

"Here we go, Wendy." Carla said as she carried her down. "Are you feeling any better?"

"I think so." Wendy said as she was starting to feel better herself. Panther Lily and Happy carried Gajeel and Laxus down. For Happy, he looked like he was going to break to pieces.

"What do you eat, Laxus?" Happy said. "You weigh about ten times heavier than Natsu does."

"Of course. Just look at how different we are in bodies." Laxus said.

"Hold on. Why was I the only one who got dropped out of that ship?" Natsu said as he felt bothered by all of it.

"Simple. You were the second lightest and Wendy was too nice and innocent for me to drop." Lucy said as she used her whip to lower herself down.

"Wendy, can you help Hitomo?" Erza said.

"Yeah. I'll do what I can." Wendy said as she got to work on using her healing magic and tried to remove the poison from flowing through his body.

"Darn it. There doesn't appear to be a spot for me to land." Nagare said.

"It's a boat! Just land it in the water!" Natsu called.

"It might look like a boat, but it's not built like one!" Nagare said. "It's not suited for the water! I'll have to hold the ship out up here! I was hoping to take a shot at E.R., but it looks like that isn't going to happen!"

"Thanks for getting us here! It was a bit help!" Wendy said.

"Guys, Natalia was captured as well." Lucy said.

"That Sasomoo used the last of his strength to toss her into the ship." Panther Lily said. "Are they planning to carry out what E.R.7. did and plan to execute her?"

"Not if we can help it! We're getting our friends back!" Natsu shouted as he didn't want to wait another minute. He charged for the nearest door he could find and smashed right through it and started searching for the ship.

"That moron. He always has to act without thinking. We don't even know if the old man and the others are even here." Laxus said.

"That's how he rolls." Happy said. "Lucy, we should probably go after him."

"You're right." Lucy said.

"I feel the same way as Salamander does. I need to find Levy and make sure she and our child are safe." Gajeel said.

"I'll go with you. I have to redeem myself for failing you to protect her." Gajeel said.

"I'll go as well." Laxus said. All of them were in agreement with what needs to be done and went the same way Natsu did.

"This is a pretty big ship. There is a chance that everyone else could be here." Gray said.

"Yes, but we must be careful." Erza said. "Our enemy is a crafty one. They were able to take our guild's best members out of their way and took on the rest of the guild, and was able to walk away with their lives. Take a look at this one for example." Erza turned towards the unconscious Sasomoo. "He was able to control a hundred puppets at once and induced a lethal poison in every weapon he possesses.

"Good point." Gray said. "There's only four of them, but these four alone were able to take on our whole guild.

"However, now that we're are back in the picture, there isn't any enemy we can't beat." Erza said. "If it turns out that they hurt our friends, they won't be walking out of this one as easily." The way that Erza said that so casually would send shivers down people's spines.

Prison Cells

Everyone in the Fairy Tail Guild were captured after Natsu and the others all vanished. They were overpowered and taken prisoners.

"This stinks. I think we've reached the lowest points in our guild's existence." Macao said.

"You can say that again. The whole guild captured like this is humiliating." Wakaba said.

"Aw! A real man isn't just going to sit here!" Elfman said. He charged right at the bars of his cell and smashed himself against them, but they didn't budge or anything. Elfman has tried that before, but it was all the same.

"Elfman, please stop. It's not going to work." Lisanna said.

"I can't. We've got to get out of here. Just because Natsu and the others aren't around doesn't mean we're defenseless." Elfman said.

"I agree, but even if we try to get out, they'll just capture us again." Mirajane said. "We can't just march right out. We need a plan."

"We can come up with one when I bust us out of here." Elfman said as he was ready to go again, but he felt a hand against his arm. He looked to see it was Evergreen.

"Just stop, Elfman. All you're going to do is hurt yourself." Evergreen said. "I'm sure Laxus and the others will find us one day. We just need to be patient." Elfman knew he was outmatched with both of his sisters and his girl asking him to stop.

"We'll be okay. Why wouldn't we be okay? There is nothing to worry about. What is there to worry? Worry. Worry. Worry." Cana said as she was acting all jittery.

"What's with Cana?" Max questioned.

"I think it's been too long since she's had a drink." Loki said. "At least she isn't as bad as Juvia. Look at her."

"Gray…. Gray… Gray…" Juvia said as she looked like she was in a state of depression.

"How bad does she have it for him?" Max questioned. Levy looked around and saw all her friends in a sorry state. It wasn't looking good. She looked to see Asuka was upset, but Alzack and Bisca were doing their best to keep her calm.

"These people are ruthless." Levy said. "They wouldn't even take some mercy on innocent children." Levy placed her hand over her pregnant stomach. "Don't worry. I'll be sure to protect you. Master Makarov, isn't there anything we can do?"

"It doesn't appear so." Makarov said. "Mest, is there really no way for you to slip out?"

"I'm afraid not." Mest said. "I can't teleport out of these cages. They confine our magic and we can't escape."

"Master, we'll be okay, won't we?" Levy said.

"I believe so. Of course, it's you I'm the most worried about." Makarov said. Levy was getting concerned over everyone. At times like this, there was really only one person Levy could think of now.

"Gajeel…. Wherever you are, I hope you find and rescue us soon." Levy said.

…

Gajeel

Gajeel and Panther Lily were making their way through the ship. Everyone decided to split up and cover up more of the ship.

"Any idea where they're holding everyone?" Gajeel asked.

"Not a clue, but there's only so many places they can hide everyone on this ship." Panther Lily said. Gajeel kept running, but he was able to catch some scents. His sense of smell might not be as strong as Natsu's, but it is still stronger than the average human.

"Hold on." Gajeel said as he stopped and started sniffing around. "I think I've picked up on everyone's scent!"

"You have?" Panther Lily said.

"Yeah. I smell Cana, Juvia, Makarov, and Levy! Levy!" Gajeel called out as he ran as fast he could to following that scent. Gajeel made his way over to where the scent came from and he soon found himself in a room of prison cells. He looked around and spotted everyone. "Levy!"

"Gajeel?" Levy said.

"Gajeel!" Max said as all of them spotted him and Panther Lily with them coming over. Levy made her way through and was so glad to see him again.

"Gajeel! You're here!" Levy said.

"Yeah. I'm so glad to see you're okay." Gajeel said as he reached through the bars and caressed her face. It filled him with such joy to see her unharmed.

"What happened to you? Where have you been?" Levy said.

"Gajeel, if you're here, are the others here as well? Natsu and the others?" Lisanna asked.

"Yeah. All of us are back and we're going to get you out of here." Gajeel said.

"My darling is safe!" Juvia said as she was feeling so joyful again.

"Let's go." Gajeel said as he grabbed a hold of the bars and tried to pry them apart to get everyone out of there. Suddenly, he felt an attack coming at him. He jumped out of the way as something large and big came down from above.

"So we meet again." Gajeel looked and was surprised to see it was Torafuzar.

"You?!" Gajeel said.

"The shark demon from Tartaros?" Levy said.

"But I thought he was dead. What the hell is going on?" Gajeel said.

"Gajeel, above us!" Panther Lily said. He heard laughing and looked up to see someone sitting on the railings. That person was Hamuro.

"So you're the great iron dragon." Hamuro said. "You've obviously faced some powerful opponents. It will be interesting to see them."

"Who the hell are you?" Gajeel said.

"My name is Hamuro. However, you should be more concerned with some specters from your past returning to face you once more."

"It would seem that I have been brought back to face you once more." Torafuzar said.

"The dead being revived?" Panther Lily questioned. "Wait. Erza once faced a member of the Spriggan Twelve with the same kind of magic."

"Historia of corpses. That is my magic." Hamuro said. "I can see that you have faced many powerful adversaries, Gajeel. Just like this one." Hamuro snapped his fingers and something formed behind Gajeel. An attack was swung at him, but Gajeel was able to block it, but he was surprised to see who it was. Another etherious that was known as Bloodman.

"You too?!" Gajeel said.

"That's Bloodman! One of the Spriggan Twelve!" Levy said.

"So we meet again." Bloodman said. "You managed to escape the depths of falling into the underworld. You won't be as fortunate today."

"Torafuzar and Bloodman… Both mighty and powerful etherious." Hamuro said. "I hold the ability to look into your past. You past adversaries were hard to beat you, hard like your iron. You barely were able to defeat the both of them last time. So how do you plan on defeating both of them together?" Gajeel is faced with two dangerous enemies that nearly killed him last time. With both of them fighting together, can Gajeel survive against them?
