"Oi! Oi! Guys! I just got news!" Gray shouted, running into the house.

"What is it?" They all looked up from the TV.

"It's something about the Finals is when the winner of the Fiore Band Battles will be decided. That means in 2 month, our school would be awarded with money to help fund everything and more students will come because of the school's reputation! And since we're graduating this year, we need to win!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, what?! I'm still on square one… The finals is in 2 months?! The big thing?! That's a week after we graduate! I think I'm going to faint… Someone catch me." Lucy rested her hand on her forehead dramatically.

"We need to get our songs and practise ASAP!" Natsu exclaimed.

"How many songs, Gray?"

"Um… I don't want to tell you… You'd kill me otherwise." Gray gulped.

"When have you ever been scared Ice Princess?"

"Fine…" Gray sighed in defeat. "Five songs…"

Nobody dared to move.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US EARLIER?! NOW WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?!" Jellal tugged at his hair.

"Um…" The raven-haired boy's voice was higher pitched than usual.

"WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?! LET'S GET STARTED!" Natsu raged.

Gajeel opened one eye. "What's going on?"

Everyone deadpanned at how he could've slept through all that racket.

"Oh but here's some good news. For Finals we only need 3 songs!" Gray smiled innocently.

"HOW COULD THAT POSSIBLY BE A GOOD THING?! THAT MEANS WE NEED TO HAVE 3 REALLY GOOD SONGS BECAUSE WE ONLY HAVE 3 CHANCES!" Lucy yelled.

"Quit your whining guys… Who gives a damn?!" Gajeel rolled his eyes.

"We do! We don't have much time left! We've been mopping around for 2 weeks! That means we have to learn 5 songs in the next 2 weeks!" Jellal fell back onto the couch.

"Should I… call Takeshi and the others?" Gray asked, trying to redeem himself.

"Go… I can't take any more bad news…" Lucy dramatically cried.


"Hey guys! We were called and here we are! Watcha need?" Wakana exclaimed. Her smile soon faded once she noticed at how 'dead' the group looked.

"Dang… The mood just escalated quickly… What happened?" Yoru looked around.

"Ask Gray…" They all sighed.

They looked at him expectantly.

"We have 2 weeks to learn and perform 5 songs." The poor boy slouched into his seat even more, if that was possible.

"Guys! What's the problem here? I don't see a problem! I see a challenge!" Kazuki smirked.

"But I don't feel like a challenge…" Natsu pouted.

"Well get your asses up now before I chop all your heads off!" Takeshi shouted. "Who the fuck cares if you don't feel like it. You have no choice. Here's your chance to get help, now take it!" She gestured to her 'gang'.

"Alright! I'm pumped up!" Lucy jumped up and fist-bumped Wakana.

"Why not?" Gray, Gajeel and Jellal stood up too.

"Natsu? What about you? Are you ready?"

"I was born ready." Natsu smirked.

Suddenly, Lucy's phone rang.

"Hold up guys… Hello?"

The voice on the other line sounded frantic and desperate.

"Wait! Yukino! Calm down! What happened? Speak slowly so I can understand you."

"Luce… Put it on speaker."

"Hold on Yukino. I'm putting you on loud speaker." Lucy took the phone off of her ear and pressed the button.

"Guys! I need your help! Sting-kun and I are being kidnapped! Some men drove up next to us in a black van with tinted windows and took us! I need your help!" Yukino cried.

"Calm down Yukino! Where were you last?" Jellal asked.

"Have you called the cops?"

"I was in Hargeon, just by the docks. I haven't called the cops… You guys were the first I thought of to call."

"Sting…" Lucy nearly dropped the phone.

"Did you see the number plate? I can scan the city and find you." Gajeel actually spoke up for once.

There was silence on the other side.

"Um… Yea… It was 858-" Yukino stopped talking.

"Yukino! Yukino!"

A scream was heard, followed by a deep voice.

"If you value your lives, don't try to save these sorry souls." The man hung up.

"Guys! We need to hurry!" Lucy commanded.

"Gajeel. We'll go to the police station and get some squads in to help us. I'll call Levy to come here and help you guys. Boot up your laptop bro." Takeshi and the group ran out.

"On it."

Gajeel ran up the stairs and came down soon after with his laptop balanced perfectly on one of his hands. Quickly typing in his password, he hit the device several times, urging it to go faster.

"While we track them, what are we going to do? Just standing around isn't my thing!" Natsu exclaimed.

"Go get the keys to your car, we're going to need to be fast." Lucy ordered.

"And then?"

Lucy bit her lip. "And then… I'm not sure. Let me think." She looked at Gajeel. "Do you have some sort of communication device?"

"Um… N-"

"I do!" Levy ran into the house, panting. "I brought a couple of walkie talkies."

"That's great!"

"Ok! So this is what we need to do. Natsu, you're driving so you don't get motion sickness."

"Got it!"

"Gajeel and Levy, you stay here and tell us where to go. Levy-chan, pass me a walkie talkie." Levy chucked her one.

Gray and Jellal ran out and jumped into Natsu's Red Chevrolet Camaro.

"Where are we headed commander?" Natsu saluted.

"We'll start off at Hargeon. And by then, Gajeel should have something. Let's get going."

Once in the car, Natsu shoved the key in and sped off.

"Hargeon… Hargeon… Which way is that?"

"Turn left now!" Lucy hold onto the car door for dear life as he took a sharp turn. "Are you trying to make me kiss the dashboard?!"

"Should've told me earlier…"

"Ok Levy-chan! Have you got anything yet?"

"Not yet. So to make sure, it was a black van with the numbers 858 as part of the number plate?"

"Yep."

"Ok… The scanner is going through the streets of Hargeon now. It shouldn't be much longer."

Suddenly, Natsu slammed on the brakes.

"We're here! And in record time might I add!" He beamed.

"Dude… YOU NEARLY KILLED US!" Gray and Jellal exclaimed from the back of the car.

Lucy quickly jumped out of the car and looked around.

"What exactly are we looking for?" Gray asked.

"Anything… Any clue that would help us." Lucy could feel her breathing begin to fasten.

"Calm down ok? It'll be ok." Jellal comforted.

She nodded. Even though his voice seemed so sure, Jellal couldn't even believe the truth in his voice.

"I'm going to run down the road and see if there's anything down there!" Natsu called.

"Alright!" There was static on her walkie talkie.

"Lu-chan? Are you there?"

"Yea. Fire away."

"Ok… We've found 2 matches to the description. Both of which have one thing in common. It's the same car brand and same model and everything."

"That's great! I think…"

"Oi! Lucy! Come look at what I've found!"

Lucy, Gray and Jellal ran over to Natsu. He pointed to the ground and there was skid marks from a vehicle.

"Hey Levy… That model… Can you quickly do a check of how wide the wheels are?"

"Approximately 30cm."

"We don't exactly have a ruler here so give us something to compare it to." Jellal grabbed the walkie talkie off of Lucy.

"The long side of an A4 piece of paper. Near that."

"Guys… This is our track." Lucy nodded in satisfaction. "Ok Levy! These tracks are facing east. Which way are the 2 vans going?"

"They're both going east but in different streets. Just head east. I'll give you guys one of the vans and I'll give Takeshi and the others the other van. But for now, head to Oshibana."

"Ok! Let's go!"

The group ran back to the car and jumped in.

"Ok, tell us where to go Levy! You have to be our GPS. I have no idea where to drive." Natsu shouted.

"Alright… Make a turn right here."

Everybody's face made contact to the window.

"Why does nobody tell me to turn before I'm meant to?! You guys suck!"

"Make a left!"

And more cursing was made.

"Ok… if you go straight for at least 3km, then you'll be there after 2 more turns. Just keep going the speed you are Natsu."

"So we'll be there in 5 minutes or so? Ok guys get ready." Gray grabbed his pocket knife and shoved it into his pocket just in case.

"What are you getting ready with? We fight with our fists anyway!" Natsu chuckled.

"Yea but just in case!"

"Hold on Sting…" Lucy mumbled under her breath.

"Don't worry Luce… He'll be fine. He won't crack under pressure easily. He's a good guy." The pink-haired boy comforted.

"Yea… What about Yukino?"

"She's just as hard-headed as you are."

"Natsu! You idiot! You missed the turn!" Levy shouted.

"What?! You should've told me! Now I have to make an illegal U-turn! Godammit… If your boyfriend gets my licence taken away, I'm going to have to take his head." Natsu said through gritted teeth.

"Ok… Turn left here. Good. Now take the 2nd exit on this roundabout, alright now take the 3rd exit. Keep going straight and you'll see this abandoned warehouse. They stopped there a while ago. Who knows if they'll still be there though."

"An abandoned warehouse? Doesn't seem suspicious at all…" Jellal shook his head sarcastically.

"You should probably park behind here. That way they can't hear us coming." Gray jumped out of the car followed by Jellal.

"Let's go do this Luce."

"Alright. See ya Levy-chan. Thanks for the help. You too Gajeel."

"But how do you know that this is the place? There were 2 vans."

"I've got a feeling it's this one." Lucy grabbed hold of Natsu's arm and walked towards the old building.

"There's a side door over here guys!" Gray whispered loudly.

They ran over and surprisingly, the door was open.

"It's begging us to come in." Natsu walked in first to be greeted by someone screaming help.

Lucy was about to scream back but Natsu wrapped his hand around her mouth.

"Shhh… It could be a trap."

The cautiously walked in.

"Jellal… You go check it out… You are the king of stealth." Gray smiled.

Jellal nodded and tip toed forward. It was pretty dark but there was still light that leaked through the broken windows. The azure-haired male pressed himself against a wooden pillar. He ran to the next pillar carefully. After about 20 metres of sneaking around, Jellal peeked around a corner he had been pressed against. Sting and Yukino were tied to a chair, cuts and bruises covered their bodies. The kidnappers were nowhere to be seen.

Jellal ran back as fast as he could to his friends, only to find an empty space.

"Guys…? Where are you?"

A figure walked towards him.

"Who's there?!" Jellal yelled at the unnaturally tall figure.

"JELLAL! RUN!" Gray's voice shouted. It sounded muffled and far away.

Realising what situation they were in, Jellal tried running but another figure came from behind.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk… Must I always dispose of these fairies?" A deep voice growled.

"No… No…"

Jellal was knocked out.

Natsu and Lucy hid behind crates. The girl was trying to muffle her cries as Natsu trembled, unable to move and help. Natsu hugged Lucy as tightly as he could, not only to comfort her, but to comfort himself.

Why is God doing this to us? Why can we never live in peace? Why us?


Next:

Walking slowly around, his ears perked at his friend's cries. His breathing quickened as his pace fastened as well.

Not much to go off, I know, but the next chapter is pretty short… Well short compared to the past chapters I've written. Bye!
