Chapter 9:
"Come on shrimp don't overexert yourself" Gajeel said soothingly, Lucy was fighting a battle with her eye lids, she wasn't sure what time it was but she knew they'd done a lot of work but a lot still had to be done. Yukino was also nodding in and out of consciousness her elbow on the counter her head moving up and down as she micro slept, Levy however still had her eyes on her screen, her fingers flying.
"I'm fine just a little more" she said, Gajeel sighed, clicked two buttons on her computer to save her work and then shut her laptop, he picked up Levy like a football and carried her away, Levy tried to fight be she was about as strong as a wet paper towel. A part of Lucy a very tired part wondered if she could be carried to bed too, Gajeel had dropped Levy on Lucy's bed without question even if Levy resisited but she couldn't find the energy to get back up, when Lucy felt like she was flying she thought she had nodded off so she grabbed tighter onto whatever she could, it was Natsu also carrying her into her room he had to pry her fingers off him to drop her next to Levy, Sting carried in Yukino after him already fast asleep curled into his arms, he put her down on the other side of Lucy, she was somewhat grateful she had a queen size bed, that was her last thought before she fell asleep.
"I feel really useless not being able to do anything while the girls do all the work" Natsu says to the others, they'd already turned off the TV.
"Me too but Yukino did say she'd interview us tomorrow afternoon, she said it'd help" Sting reminds them.
"Yeah I know but…"
"We know how you feel Natsu, we're used to action and there's nothing to fight" Laxus says, they all silently agreed with him.
"Bed for us too mates we can't go getting weaker than those girls" Natsu says grabbing his blanket and pillow and shooing Sting and Rouge off the couch. The others followed his example and got to sleep.
Right after breakfast Lucy, Levy and Yukino headed out, leaving Natsu, Gajeel, Sting, Rouge, Cobra and Laxus alone in Lucy's apartment so they sat in front of the TV and flicked through channels until they agreed on one or a majority overruled another.
At the café Lucy and Yukino got right back to work with Levy still figuring out the accidental deaths with Jet and Droy, Yukino had gotten her all the info they could, leaving Lucy and Yukino to go through the rest of the information to work for the story, along with evidence.
They worked diligently for hours until Levy kissed her phone and thanked Jet and Droy immensely before hanging up.
"I'm done! All thirty eight we have proof!" she squealed.
"Yes!" Lucy cheered.
"We've got the names of the other players and are still tying them in but in a couple of days we should be able to publish this to every media outlet in Fiore!" she says.
"And once I interview the guys we should be that much closer to clearing them of everything, they'll be free" Yukino chimes the three of them cheer. Until Levy's computer binged and she read the notification that came up.
"Shit" she cursed.
"What?!" they asked immediately.
"Oh no" she muttered typing quickly.
"Shit" she repeated.
"What is it?!" they demanded.
"I got Trojan'd and I didn't even notice"
"What's that?" Yukino asks.
"She was backtracked" Lucy says panicking.
"How?"
"Through a picture I downloaded, must have been a trap shit, okay it's slow because it is a picture but Lucy call them get them out now, Yukino sync then delete everything!" Lucy and Yukino do as their told, Lucy's phone in her hand as they hear a crash, they heard Mira and Kinana scream.
Lucy dialled her home phone fast, it answered.
"Natsu!" she screamed even though she didn't know who answered.
"Get out now!" she screamed just as the door to the room exploded in, Lucy hung up and threw her phone away, Yukino had done the same to the laptop it smashed against the wall as at least a dozen men in black flooded the room and seized them, Lucy saw the erase virus Levy had on her own computer already deleting everything, it flickered and then went blue and then black, nothing would be retrieved from her hard drive.
"Who do you think you are?!" Mira demanded being brought in by two men as was Kinana.
"Take them all" one of the men in black ordered. No matter how much they fought they were all zip tied with duct tape over their mouths and thrown into the back of a van. It skidded away and drove recklessly through traffic, Lucy looked to whoever she could see, Levy and Kinana the only ones who could see her, they shared a look and had no choice but to hope the guys were very far away.
The Fairy Tail team had managed to find a sport game on but it was tennis and it was boring them to death, when the phone rang Natsu dived for it, he couldn't even say hello when Lucy screamed.
"Natsu!" loud enough for them all to hear.
"Get out now!" she continued something exploded in the background and the phone disconnected.
They all didn't hesitated to jump up and off the apartment's balcony to the next building, they kept running and jumping from building to building until finally jumping down a fire escape. The Coffee Shop was in view from their alley way, fire trucks just turning up, the inside was smoking and the front door and all the windows glass was gone and according to one of the firemen who went inside to check there was no one inside.
