Freed had a tight control on his magic, channel it into the rune cage where a thrashing dragon and dragon slayer were pounding hard in its walls, trying to break free. Laxus has already cracked through the runes once while Freed was taking a bathroom break. The rune mage had come back just in time to retrap him. Levy was called in to help Freed supplement nd strengthen the runes as well as keep a slow steady flow when Laxus decided to pound on them like an angry gorilla.
Laxus was being held prisoner in the guild's basement. After he lost emotional control on Natsu's shoulder all those weeks ago, the lightning dragon rampaged the guild. He had taken control of Laxus' body again and would only let the sky slayer in to tend to his mate. Laxus fought for control internally, and was able to grasp it for a few minutes where he yelled for Freed and Bix to lock him up. He knew what his dragon soul didn't. These actions were causing more harm than good. Things would go from calm and Laxus being in control to all out dragon rage at the flip of a coin. Smelling her bloodied scent threw him into rage. Any time he heard or smelled a new procedure being preformed on her up in the infirmary, his dragon would rage. Laxus had meditated and was able to surpress most instances. He hadn't had an outburst in over a week. Today, though, he heard her voice. He heard the weakness to it and the dragon chose that instant to take control again rage against the rune walls. Freed chalked most of Laxus loss of control to the fact he was going through DT's due to the fact Laxus had been using alcohol for the last nine months to keep the dragon soul at bay.
Poor exhausted Wendy knocked on the door leading to the holding cells. Freed immediately yelled for her to enter, hoping this confinement would soon come to a close.
"Laxus" the timid slayer spoke " Lucy is awake and she wants to see you." He calmed, knowing that the sooner he did, the sooner they would be reunited. He nodded at both Freed and Levy then turned to the sky dragon slayer standing in the doorway.
"I am more than ready, Wendy. Let's go!"
