Hello people I'm back with a brand new chapter. If you have enjoyed the story or this chapter don't forget to follow, favorite, review and all that good stuff. So anyways onto the chapter 18.

-Will-

I walk back and forth through the guild hall. I'm worried about Dan. He's acted strange yesterday in his fight with Erza. I mean he seemed like a whole different person. His fighting style and personality changed too. When he comes here he'll have some questions to answer. An I'm not taking no for any of them.I'm also worried cause Dan would've shown up to the guild by now. Sam is went to go see if he is ok. She should be back shortly. We should be going on a job soon it's my turn to pick the job. I've already picked the job too. The job is we have to defeat a heard of monsters that hang out on top of some mountain.

Sam walks into the guild hall and runs up to me. She says "we have to talk". We proceed to take a booth.

"Ok so how is Danny?" I ask her.

"When I got to his place I noticed something weird" Sam replies.

"Like what? Did you find out he has a hidden stash of skeletons. Or that he has a hidden stash of voodoo dolls?" I ask her letting a smile escape.

"Come on be serious!" She says hitting my arm.

"Fine what did you find out sherlock?" I ask the young girl.

" Well all the security lacrima were destroyed" she starts.

"Broken in shards?" I ask.

"Not exactly they were... melted" she continues.

"Melted! How the fuck did they get melted" I ask slightly confused and angered.

"How should I know!" she retorts. "I walk in to see the lacrima were melted. The melted part liked like slim an part of was covered black dust"she announces.

"Well apart from that did you see him?" I ask getting tired of talking about lacrima.

"No Danny wasn't there" she answers.

"That's weird we should tell gramps"I say.

Sam nods her head in agreement. Before we could even leave our sits the guild hall door opens. Every person in the guild stops and looks toward the door. In walks a girl with long dark brown wavy hair with a green tuft. Next to the girl is a boy with black mane like hair with a blank mask with eye and mouth slits. Everyone is quite as they watch the two walk in. They stop in the middle of the guild hall.

"Hi can I help you two?"Mira asks with a smile from behind the bar.

"We're here to see Dan, Will and Samantha" The girl replies moving a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Well Sam and Will are right there" Mira responds pointing to our booth.

The two guests walk right up to our booth. The whole guild goes back to what they were doing.

"What brings the dragons to the fairies cave" I ask our guests.

"We're on our way back from a job from a near by town"Elania aka Ella.

"Nice how did it go?" Sam asks.

" It was easy" Ella replies.

Suddenly a communication lacrima activates protecting a large green screen. The whole guild freezes in place. Up on the screen appears a lady with straight black hair wearing a white dress. The lady has blue eyes as well.

"Hello Fairy scum me and my team has captured some one you might recognize" The lady says .

She leaves the screen for moment she enters the screen again dragging some thing with her. She pulls the object into focus of the lacrima and thing is... Danny. We hear some gasps in the guild hall. Danny looks awful it looks like he was thrown inside a razor hurricane and spit out.

"He has something he wants to say. Come on you little runt say something!" She yells in anger. She snaps her fingers and we hear Dan scream out in pain and miser.

"Oh come on you can do better then that" the woman says. Danny screams louder and it sounds like shes ripping his bones out slowly.

"Please stop"Dan mutters softly.

Going by expressions I guess the dragons slayers and a few other people heard that.

"What was that I couldn't hear you. You need to speak up!" the woman yells doing something that causes Dan to scream bloody murder.

"P-Please just stop" Danny says louder the screen mostly focused on him.Tears start to stream down Dans face .

"Now see that wasn't so hard now was it" the woman says smiling the screen back on her.

"Enough!" Gramps yells at the screen.

We all stare at Gramps. His eyes burning with rage.

" That's enough stop this at once Jess! " he yells once again.

"Oh it's you Makarov. It's been a while since you threw us in prison!" she says her voice rising.

"Jess leave the boy alone. Let him go this instance!" Gramps yells.

"Nope I don't think so" the woman now known as Jess says. "If you want that to happen then you must come here and make it happen" Jess adds.

"You will pay for torturing our guild member before our eyes. You won't get away with this crime!" Gramps yells his voice booming.

"I look forward to it Makarov. You know where the castle is. Better hurry before I get inpatient" Jess announces to the Master.

The lacrima shuts down closing the the screen.

"Master who was that woman? How do you know her? What does she want with Danny?!" I ask Gramps getting angry that, that bitch did that to Danny. A few people in the guild hall agreeing with me.

"It's a long story brats" the old mage announces.

"Well give us the short version" Sam says.

"Yeah I'm starting to get fired up for this fight" Natsu says loudly.

"Ok brats let me begin this story at the very beginning" Gramps says trailing off.

I finished the chapter early so here it is. Hoped you guys liked it. Until next Baseball 22 is outa here.
