Hello everyone and happy Easter from me (Mewsugarpudd) and Kisshufan4ever! Thank you to everyone who faved/followed, this story is doing a lot better than we had hoped.

Guest : Thanks for being our first reviewer.

Guest : Yes it will be ;)

IcePrinceRay : We only thought of it because Mew's favourite character is Gray while Kisshu likes Midnight.

.oO : Thanks.

Sktrgrl13 : Is this soon enough? And they'll make a hilarious team. (Gratsu and Midco are great pairings).

Dragonlover89 : We think that this is the only one, and Kisshu stalks the archive enough to know.

Guest : Is this soon enough for you?

Disclaimer : we don't own fairy tail. Sadly.

Cobra was really freaking out when the door to their detainment centre froze and then was kicked in. a dark haired teen stepped through, and Cobra recognised him as one of the Fairies who had put an end to their Nirvana plan.

He calmly strode through the gaping doorframe, calmly wiping out the guard with no visible effort.

Midnight rose from his sitting position, dusting of his pants with a regal air.

"It is time." His friend's voice was devoid of all emotion, and the dark haired teen (Cobra was sure that his name was sort of colour, maybe Green or something) nodded.

"It is indeed." His hands glowed and the bars were coated in ice. Midnight round-housed them and then joined his companion. Cobra watched in disbelief as his best friend left the prison with barely a glance behind at his still incarcerated friend. Cobra would have been angry but he still couldn't get a lock on Midnight's thoughts. The situation was clearly more serious then he thought.

Natsu was fuming. He knew that something was wrong with Gray but he was still itching to beat some sense into his rival. What the hell was he playing at, running away form Fairy Tail after that whole Daphne stunt?

The train stopped at the station closest to the prison, and Natsu's eyes widened.

"Get off here!" He roared, lunging for the train doors. The other's followed, and as soon as they had all departed from the train, Natsu was racing towards the magical detainment facility where the scent of Gray was the strongest. Natsu had no clue on why his friend would be headed there, but he would get his answers soon whether they were pounded out of Gray or not.

"Where are we going?" Lucy was panting, even as Erza caught on to their direction.

"Why would Gray be going to the prison?" Her question was clearly rhetorical, and that was good as no one knew why. Lucy squeaked "Prison!" but Natsu ignored her in favour of running faster.

They reached the prison in a matter of seconds and it was clearly in a state of chaos. Guards were racing around and Natsu collared one.

"What happened?" The Guard looked terrified.

"One of our most dangerous prisoners was broken out by a currently unknown mage. We suspect that he had some sort of elemental magic, but no remnant remained, the guards were knocked out to quickly to discern it and the only other prisoner in the area refuses to divulge any facts about the breakout." Natsu raised his hand to show of his mark.

"We're from Fairy Tail and we are willing to help." Erza spoke from behind Natsu, and the Guard cowered.

"Ah, of course Miss Titania. It is quite fortunate that you mages are here to help actually.

"Take us to the prisoner." The red headed mage ordered, and the Guard wasn't stupid enough to risk the wrath of Erza Scarlet. Natsu sniffed cautiously, and with a shock he realised that he recognised more than one scent.

"Was the prisoner who escaped a member of Oracion Seis?" Lucy gave him a confused look, and he tapped his nose. The Guard also seemed surprised.

"Well yes actually, his codename was Midnight. Codename Cobra was the witness, but he is stubbornly refusing to answer any of our questions." Natsu smirked, revealing one of his fangs. He hoped that he would be able to spar with the poison dragon slayer if he refused to give them the answers they needed.

Cobra was getting annoyed at all these idiots who honestly expected him to tell them about how his friend had escaped. Yeah, it rankled that Midnight hadn't taken him as well, but something was wrong with the other mage and even so, Cobra would never give him up.

He looked up in boredom as the door was once again flung open. All of his magic had been cut off and so he couldn't hear/smell who was going to enter his cell. That's why he jumped when a familiar pink head popped through his door with an obnoxious grin plastered on his face.

"Yo, Cobra. How have you been." Cobra raised his eyebrow as the moron greeted him like an old friend instead of an old enemy.

"I've been imprisoned you idiot." His companions stepped in as well, the freaky talking cat, the blonde girl and the Titania.

"You are going to tell us everything that happened." Erza was glaring at him, but Cobra had dealt with grumpy morning Midnight. Erza had nothing on that.

"I won't tell you anything unless you promise to take me with you." The trio (and the cat) glared at them.

"How can we trust you to not turn on us as soon as we leave this prison?" The blonde (Lucky was it?) appraised him.

"Because I want to help Midnight. Surely you noticed something wrong with your ice boy? Well, the same thing is affecting Midnight. I'll tell you everything if you promise I can help you." The Fairies seemed to be judging his sincerity.

"You do know that we'll probably have to bring you both back here after we track them down." Cobra nodded, better to have Midnight imprisoned and sane then on the run and losing it. Plus, the Fairy Tail mages seemed pretty fair, it was probably safe to trust them in tracking down his friend.

After a few minutes of being scrutinised, Erza nodded shortly.

"I'll see what we can do." She stated simply, before she turned and dragged her blonde haired companion and the cat away. Natsu remained, eyeing him up.

"Was Gray okay?" Cobra knew that he had said that he wouldn't reveal any details without an assurance that he could leave with them, but the naked concern on the other mage's face touched him. He knew that if the situation was reversed, he would be desperate to know Midnight's status.

"I don't know, whatever is affecting them is strong." The fire dragon slayer winced.

"Gray's stronger." He declared, and Cobra couldn't help feeling a little confused. Hadn't the two been rivals? He shook his head, he wasn't here to discern the relationship between the ice and fire mages, he wanted to find his friend.

They remained in an oddly comfortable silence until Erza returned.

"We have permission to take Cobra with us as a witness, but put one foot out of line and we have permission to drag you back here." Cobra smirked, and placed his shackles out to be removed from his arms. Time to track down his friend and the ice mage.

Said mages were currently sitting side by side on the train to Isvan. They were completely alone in their compartment, Gray had seen to that by lowering the temperature so that the areas around them were room temperature but the rest of the compartment was freezing.

"We will fulfil our mission." Gray looked out of the wind as he approached his homeland. He didn't understand why Midnight had been chosen for a quest to Isvan by this strange power, but Gray wasn't exactly in a position to question it's motives. He was heading home, and for better or for worse, Midnight was coming with him.

The two sat on the train, heading towards their destiny.

Beneath the ruins of a snowy city, a creature smiled.

"So they are coming after all. Fools." It's distorted laughter rang around the icy cavern.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter, and feel free to leave us a review :)
