Chapter 4

"So we are officially a team. What are we going to do? Team Natsu and the Thunder Legion have already made a name for themselves. So what makes us better?" Levy asked the adrenaline still pumping through her veins.

"Well we need to get a couple job requests under our belt and do them well. Hope that we get recognition," Lucy said not knowing really herself.

If she was being honest with herself she was scared shitless. All her bravado unlike Levy's was slowly seeping away and she was realizing she was really not with her old team anymore.

"I have a mission that Gramps wanted me to do," Gajeel said mysteriously.

"Ok details," the young women exclaimed.

"Meet at the guild tomorrow morning at 7," Gajeel said and got up from the table and walked out of the tavern they were at.

The girls looked at each other and giggled. Levy invited Lucy to spend the night in her dorm room since it was closer to the guild and they could be each other's alarm.

The Next Day 6:49 a.m.

Levy and Lucy was sitting on the steps that lead up to the guild. Levy was adamant about being at the location Gajeel said before he got there. He was big on punctuality. The young women propped each other up and Lucy used Loke to watch out for them in case some danger was lurking while they were trying to catch the last few zzz's before Gajeel came.

"Ok Shrimp and Bunny Girl it's time to go," Gajeel said clapping his hands and the two girls jumped up from being startled awake.

They gathered their stuff and Loke disappeared back to the spirit world.

"Gajeel, uhm where are we going?" Lucy asked while they were in their private compartment.

Gajeel opened his right eye and looked at the blonde haired partner.

Levy pulled her reading glasses off and turned towards her boyfriend. Panther Lily crossed his arms and waited.

"We are going to investigate the disappearances of mages from other guilds. Here are the photos of them and the job requests that they were sent on," Gajeel handed the evidence to his teammates.

Levy took the stack first and looked through them and passed one picture or job request to Lucy when she was done reading them.

"Is there any leads? Has the counsel been informed?" Lucy asked as she saw Fleur a former member from Raven Tail as one of the missing mages.

"Hey I know her isn't that Miranda from Mermaid Heel. Wait. They are all females mages that were taken,"Levy said as she set all the photos apart on the floor of their compartment.

"Do you know what kind of magic these women had. There is one, two, three, five, six, eight people are missing," Lucy counted.

"Well I know that Flare Corona can extended her hair at will and so could that chick from Mermaid Heel, Risley Law. She used gravity change magic. But this one I think she was from Sabertooth. She was or is a celestial mage. She didn't manipulate her body," Levy said thinking hard on the commonalty the women shared.

"Wait! Her spirit Libra could change the balance of their enemy. That's a type of change right," Lucy said remembering that battle between Yukino Agria and Kagura Mikazuchi at the Grand Master games a while back.

"Oh yeah. Wow...look Kagura was captured too. Jura Neeks uses earth magic, Jellal! Jellal is missing too? Oh no! Not Richard!" Lucy said in shock.

"He...uses...earth magic I think. Remember his fight with Jura at the games too. So we have earth magic, gravity magic and manipulative hair. I see a pattern but Flare is throwing it off," Lucy said and handed back the photos to Gajeel.

"That's our job. To make sense of this,"Gajeel said folding his arms again.

"Doesn't seem like they are trying to dig up something?" Levy asked.

"Or break someone out," Panther Lily added.

"The real question whom?" Lucy asked while she looked out of the train window and saw trees flashing past her window.

"Everlue! You have a visitor, your brother is here to talk to you. You got 10 minutes. Don't touch each other and keep your hands where I can see them," the guard said and sat Everlue at the visitor's seat.

Everlue raised his eyebrow and saw a man sit down to visit with him.

"Didn't know I had a brother. I grew up as an only child," Everlue began and clasped his hands together.

"I know. But what if I said that I could get you out of here and extract revenge on your favorite guild Fairy Tail?" the visitor asked.

"I'm listening...brother," Everlue said talking a little lower.

"Excellent. I have friends to help you out. Be ready to leave tomorrow night. It's going to be a tunnel of fun," the man said.

"Dear brother may I have your name," Everlue questioned.

"My name...my name is Bluenote Stinger," Bluenote said and rose from his chair and left the room to head out of the prison.

"This is some bullcrap! I can't use my magic to get out of here! Ugh! Damn these magic canceling bars!" Risley shouted while she touched the bars and instantly felt drained.

Kagura went to her guildmate and helped her to sit down and regain her strength.

"I know how you feel. We all are. But as the good book says,"

"Please save it. My head already hurts from you yabbering and the other one fruitlessly trying to dig our way out. Just calm down and think this through," Jellal said and rubbed the bridge of his nose.

"Why I never. Ugh. But you are right. My only question is why. Why us?" Richard said and began reading his bible again.

"That's the question of the century," Jura said after he was done meditating.

"It's quite simple why I need you all. You each have a unique magic type that I need for some...remodeling. As soon as you finish I will let each of you go," Bluenote said while walking up to the prison he had each mage in separately.

"What type of remodeling are you talking about?" Kagura asked.

"All in due time. Sweet dreams," Bluenote said and left after blowing out the only light source out.

"That was cryptic," Jellal said and started to pace.

"That was the understatement of the year," Flare said and started to braid her hair to keep her hands busy.

'To remodel something. I wonder what it could be? Knowing Bluenote. It's not going to be remodeling his house that's for sure,' Jellal thought and sat back down against the wall to think some more.
