Chapter 6: Fairy Tail will not fail!


The guild was tensed and quiet. When Natsu and them got back, nobody seemed rather pleased. Erza explained to the guild master what was going on which confused and shocked. Juvia was in Phantom Lord?! She played Fairy Tail. She waited until Lucy came and then made a move. Smart, the guild had to admit that was very very smart but they also had grown to love Juvia and it pained them knowing she betrayed them.

"Let's go blow them up and get Lucy back!" Natsu yelled from his seat.

"That's what they want," Wendy said.

"So?! We need to get Lucy back!" Natsu yelled before looking. He stopped and blinked.

Gray had isolated himself from everyone. He was deep in thought. Juvia betrayed him. Juvia. She's so nice and sweet. She's also...very possessive but it means she's care! Gray tapped his foot, chin resting on his knuckles while thinking. Juvia didn't want to do this and Gray knew that. He saw the looks of worry and sorrow in her eyes. Orders were orders, though...

That sent Gray over the edge with anger. 'Screw fucking orders' Gray thought. Juvia had grown to love Fairy Tail and Gray knew that. He would be damned if he left without saving Juvia. Sure he played them but she had to since technically she was never in the guild. There had been an obvious warning sign this whole time. Her guild mark.

Juvia had refused to get a Fairy Tail mark. It seemed suspicious but she pulled the 'I'm checking out other guilds' card which we all bought. We had many people check out the guild for months before going off (but they normally came back). Gray felt his jaw lock at the thought of Phantom Lord giving Juvia praise and her seeming so lost. She didn't belong in a heartless and cruel guild. She belonged here with people who love her and treat her right.

"What about Juvia?" Gray asked finally locking eyes with Natsu who had been staring.

"We're gonna get her too!" Natsu said.

"Why? She betrayed Fairy Tail. She doesn't need saving," Laxus said from his spot.

"Well you don't know her like we do," Wendy said finally speaking up, "she's helped us a lot more than you would believe Laxus. We're getting her back. She was just taking orders from her master...but Gajeel," Wendy whispered.

"That damn asshole!" Natsu said with a small snarl. Gajeel and Wendy were so close to Natsu, the three were known as siblings. He knew Gajeel visited and dropped food off for Wendy and Natsu but it seemed odd for him not to go here. It finally clicked with Natsu, "I'm gonna beat him to a pulp them tell our parents and then his punishment will be joining the guild."

"How do you know?" Gray asked.

"It's always the threat when he screws up. Joining this guild," Wendy explained.

Natsu cracked his knuckles, "I call dibs on Gajeel."

"So do I. Natsu and I will tag team him," Wendy said while everyone nodded, thinking of a plan to get the two girls out.

Slowly halfway through planning, Gray stopped before blurting out, "Dude what the hell is wrong with your arm?"

Natsu cocked a brow and looked. His arms were covered in handprints on them slowly becoming bruises. His soulmate. She was in danger. Natsu tensed. He had to worry about Lucy and Juvia but he couldn't help but worry about his soulmate.

Wendy, on the other hand, noticed and covered her mouth backing up slightly. Erza glanced and walked over muttering to Wendy, "Wendy it's okay it's just his soulmate."

"I know but...t-those are Gajeel's handprints. Erza I think it's Lucy. Lucy is his soulmate," Wendy whispered.

Erza looked before realizing. It clicked to her! Natsu and Wendy always had matching bruises which were rather odd. When Natsu got hurt, so did Lucy. How could it have gone over her head?! Same with Gray and Juvia!

'Oh my Mavis how did I not notice?!' Erza thought.

She didn't want to send Natsu to completely lose it so she stayed quiet. Erza walked back over and kept talking to the others while Wendy was talking to Mira about what she had discovered.

"...Okay, so it's settled!" Natsu said.

Everyone nodded seeming rather relaxed though everyone was on edge once someone called. Natsu answered his cellphone, being his normal casual self.

"Hello?"

"Hey flame-brain," Gajeel sneered.

"Gajeel," Natsu said gritting his teeth putting him on speaker.

"What's up? Making a plan to save the princess?" Gajeel teased.

"Gajeel stopped being a...a meanie butt!" Wendy said which shocked the whole guild. Wendy never spoke like that.

Hell, it shocked Gajeel. He seemed stunned before sneering to hide his surprise, "Wendy orders are orders."

"You hate taking orders! Don't lie! You're doing this out of free will and you even know it!" Wendy said.

Gajeel went silent. He was and he wouldn't deny that but...there was more to the story.

"...Yeah, I'll give you that, but there's more to it Wendy," Gajeel muttered suddenly becoming nervous.

"Oh yeah?! Then tell us!" Natsu snapped.

"Keep your voice down lame brain!" Gajeel hissed into his line, "you'll get me in trouble with Jose!"

"Who?"

"Phantom Lord's guild master," Gajeel muttered, "look Lucy's dad dying wish was for Lucy to take the estate over. What he doesn't know is he doesn't really want her to take it over that was a fake will. He actually wants her to sell it and take his money before going off and following her mother's wish of studying at Fairy Tail high," Gajeel explained.

"Then...then why the hell are you helping Jose?" Erza asked seeming rather angry.

"It's not like I want to...okay no I did. I kind of wanted to help but not to get Lucy. I just want to help Juvia," Gajeel explained, "Jose noticed how she started to become attached to Fairy Tail. She's told me herself when the time is right she's leaving the guild and going to Fairy Tail. Hell! ,I'll fucking join and that's saying something."

"That is," Wendy and Natsu said.

"Anyway," Gajeel continued, "word got out about it and Jose now put her on a tight leash. When she came back with Lucy it was fine. Everything was okay but Juvia finally broke down and confessed how she didn't want to do this. She wanted to join Fairy Tail. I've never seen her like this she was crying. Jose wasn't happy. At all. She's..." Gajeel trailed off.

"What?" Gray asked, on edge now with anxiety and fear, "She's what?! GAJEEL!"

"She's stuck in the cells below where we would keep scum like you guys. I mean she can wander the guild and all but that's where she sleeps and is forbidden to leave the guild. They gave her the princess to keep her as a roommate but still. They used the s-"

A scream pierced the air on Gajeel's end. Fear struck the iron dragon slayer. Gray and Natsu panicked while Wendy was confused like most of the guild.

"What was that?" Wendy asked.

"Juvia. They went through with the threat. Oh, my god, they're using shock therapy just like they threaten. I gotta go," Gajeel said and hung up rather quickly.

"Shock therapy? SHOCK THERAPY WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?!" Natsu yelled.

Gray, on the other hand, was holding his head. His whole body was numb. He felt like this blood was on fire. He felt so hot and groaned out in pain as another shock hit his head. "N-No. Crap we gotta get her quickly," Gray said.

"Why?" Natsu asked clearly clueless.

"He's going through shock therapy!" Wendy and Levy yelled in a panic.

"No way! That's only Juvia g-oh...OH CRAP!"Natus said finally figuring out Gray and Juvia were soulmates.

Gray tried to get up but let out a scream of pain and fell down again. He was on all fours and shook in pain and growled softly. How fucking dare they do this to Juvia. Heartless bastards. Gray screwed his eyes shut waiting for another blow but it never came. Instead, Levy yelled out in pain before falling over.

"What the hell?!" Natsu asked.

"Gajeel! Levy and Gajeel always talk when he drops lunch off. I think they're soulmates! Gajeel stepped in Juvia's place!" Wendy whispered to Natsu.

"Crap this isn't good. We gotta stop them screw the plan!" Natsu said.

Erza was holding Levy and nodded. Levy shook slightly, and bruises started to form on her arms and stomach. She groaned in pain. Gray was shaking and coughing up some blood. He got up, anger burning in his eyes and made a b-line for the door.

"Gray!" Erza and Mirajane yelled.

Natsu and Wendy followed suit. Erza left Levy with Mirajane before dashing off after. She knew the guild would follow soon but for now, it was just them all on their own. This wasn't going to end well and she knew that but this was her friends she needed to get back. The redhead caught up to the trio in front of her.

The four stopped outside a tall looking building. It had iron columns. It had a brown roof and grey bricks that looked old. The building was four stories high, and a huge fighting arena in the front. Kids dressed in dark clothes were going at it practicing which turned into an actual fight. The building wrapped around the arena with mess all and some extras clubs and stuff but not enough not to spot it. A U-shape! That's what it was. It was in the shape of a horseshoe, the main building in the middle.

"This looks really sketchy," Gray muttered softly.

Looking back at the building, it gave a creepy aura. The building the longer you looked kind of looked like it would eat you. The doors looked like big teeth. The old bricks were spray painted with sayings and stuff. The school like a total mess for...deliquents honestly.

"Listen we all know the plan," Natsu said.

"Wendy are you ready?" Erza asked.

Wendy looked up and nodded. Wendy would go in and pretend to be looking around at the guild since she wasn't as known as the other three. Then she would find Juvia and Lucy, give the signal then ambush. It was so simple honestly that it...it seemed like full proof but you shouldn't be so hopeful Wendy had learned, Fairy Tail has the luck of things backfiring on them.

Natsu gave Wendy her jacket before watching the small dragon slayer scurry off into the school asking where the guild master was pulling off as a girl who wanted to go see the school. Natsu felt his heart fill with worry for her. She was so small and precious. If it wasn't for the fact she was the only unknown member, someone else should have taken her spot. He didn't know what she would see and that really worried him. Her innocent little eyes would see things that girls or anybody should not see at all.

"Natsu hey it's okay," Erza said putting a reassuring hand on his shoulder, "she's strong."

"I know but she's like my little sister. I'm just...super worried," Natsu explained.

"We know. Now come on we gotta hide!" Gray whispered and shoved Natsu into a bush and followed.

Erza followed the two. The trio peeked out looking through the bars of the gates. Wendy was talking to a guy with a funny looking hat. They suppose it was the headmaster, Jose. Walking by a beaten up Juvia and Gajeel was quietly walking behind the two noticing Wendy. Both tensed but Juvia was quick. She was next to Jose smiling while looking at Wendy pulling an innocent act of the new girl. Gajeel kept his stone cold face though his eyes read worry. If they found out she was from Fairy Tail, she was dead for sure.

"Don't worry Juvia we're coming," Gray muttered.

Natsu scanned for Lucy and growled quietly knowing she was downstairs, alone and scared.

"Don't worry guys. We're gonna save you guys. Fairy Tail isn't going to fail," Natsu muttered softly.

"We're Fairy Tail duh," Gray sneered.

"These are our friends," Erza said.

"Fairy Tail won't leave any members behind. We're not going to fail to save them," The trio said as Juvia looked fear in her eyes before the big wooden doors creaked and slammed shut, locking trapping Lucy, Wendy, Juvia, and even Gajeel in the Phantom Lord territory.
