Previously on Golden Iron

"D-Don't touch m-m-me," She yelled in pain again, "i-it will a-a-affect you to!". Lucy sat there letting the darkness devour her. After a few minutes Lucy's whole arm was covered in black. She started to stand up. Slowly her hair turned black and eyes turned red. "Welcome back Lucky Lu!" Levy smiled. "Glad to be back Lev." Lucy smiled. They walked away from the guild. "We need to find two other dragon slayers." Gajeel said. "Why?" Natsu asked. "It's the only way to fix Bunny." Gajeel replied. "Jellal, you can use telepathy right?" Natsu asked. "Yea, why?" Jellal replied. "Call Sting and Rouge." Natsu said.

*In the Telepathy*

"Sting and Rouge. Can you hear me?" Natsu said. "Yea, What's up?" Sting said. "We need you to get here as soon as possible. Rouge to." Natsu said. "Got it! We will leave now." They said.

Chapter 6

After a few hours Sting and Rouge came running to the guild. "What do you need?" Sting asked. "Ask Gajeel." Natsu shrugged. The twin dragon slayers looked over to Gajeel. "We need to fix Bunny and it requires a spell only four dragon slayers combined can use." Gajeel explained. "Who exactly is Bunny?" Sting asked. "Oh, it's Lucy." Gajeel chuckled. "Then let's go!" Rouge yelled. "Erza, we need you to come to. Levy is probably put up a fight." Gajeel said. "Got it." Erza said running after them. "We need to head to Hargeon." Gajeel said. The five ran all the way to Hargeon. On the way Gajeel explained what they had to do for the spell to work. "Where is she?" Rouge asked. "Up there." Erza said pointing to a girl with black hair on a roof. "Let's go." Gajeel said jumping up to the roof. "Surround her!" Natsu yelled. The four dragon slayers formed a square around Lucy. "What do you think you are doing?" Levy asked. "I got her. Fix Lucy!" Erza said reequipping into her Black Wing Armor. "Fix the person that is our friend. Use the power of four dragon slayers! Iron Dragon slayer." Gajeel yelled.

"Fire Dragon slayer!"

"Shadow Dragon slayer!"

"White Dragon slayer!"

"Dragon Reverse!" The four yelled. A bright light with silver, red, white, and black surrounded the celestial mage. Loud screams could be heard from within the light. The light slowly faded and is revealed Lucy on the ground coughing. "G-G-Gajeel." Lucy mumbled. "It's ok Bunny." Gajeel kneeled down and picked up Lucy bridal-style. "What happened?" She asked. "Levy cut your arm." Natsu said. Lucy pulled out her katana and Gajeel set her down. "Oh Regulus grant me the power to use the Reverse Katana to heal!" Lucy yelled. She put her katana on the cut and it slowly healed. "What just happened?" Sting asked. "I used the Reverse katana to heal my wound." Lucy said. "Ok." Sting was still a little confused. "Now my hair will always be black." Lucy pouted. "That's what you're worried about!" Natsu yelled. "Hang on." Lucy jumped over to where Erza and Levy where. She got behind Levy so she could do a sneak attack. "Goodbye Levy!" Lucy yelled as she hit Levy in the back. "How could you!" Levy yelled as she disappeared. Lucy dropped down to her knees and started to breath heavily. "You did a good job Luce." Natsu said. "Yea" She mumbled. Gajeel picked her up and jumped off the roof. The rest followed him. "Thanks guys. How could I repay you guys?" Lucy said. "I was nothing." Sting said. "No it was something. If you guys didn't do that, my condition would have gotten worse and I would have died." Lucy said. "Oh, wow." Rouge said. "I will treat you all to a lunch. It might not be life threating, but it's something." She said. "No, you don't have to do that." Sting said. "I don't have to do it. I want to." She said with a smiled. She pulled out a bag of jewels and handed them to Sting. "Thanks." Sting said. "No problem." She smiled. "Well, we have to go. Bye, I hope we see you again, On better terms." Rouge said. "Bye Sting and Rouge." Lucy waved. "Bye." They waved and ran off. The Gajeel carried Lucy and walked back to the guild. Natsu pushed open the guild doors to let them see the girl. "Here, just sit and relax." Gajeel sat Lucy down. "Lucy!" The guild yelled and a few ran up to her. "Are you ok?" Lisanna asked. "Yea. You guys shouldn't worry that much." Lucy giggled. "Yes we should, you were a totally different person." Mira said. "Someone else might be happy to see you." Wendy pointed over to the black sleeping exceed. Lucy giggled and walked over to him. She picked him up and he woke up. "Lucy!" He perked up and hugged her. "Hey Lily." She smiled. "Are you ok?" He asked. "I'm just fine Lily." She said. "Is your hair always going to be black now?" He asked. "Sadly, yes it is." She pouted. Gajeel ran up the stairs to get to Makarov. A small 'come in' was heard. "Lucy is back." He said. Makarov ran out of his office to see her. "Lucy!" Makarov yelled. "Hey gramps!" She smiled. He ran down the stairs to go see her. "I'm glad you are safe." He smiled and hugged her. "I'm fine, but my hair will always be black." She said. "That's all your worried about!" He exclaimed. "Levy is taken care of." Lucy assured him. "That's good." He said. "You shouldn't be up Bunny." Gajeel said. "But I had to see Lily." She pouted. Gajeel came down and dragged her to her seat. "Sit." He said. She sat down and pouted. "Fine." She grumbled. She leaned back against the wall and fell asleep snuggling Pantherlily. "G-G-Gajeel, help…..me." Lily croaked out from being squished. Gajeel lifted up her arm and got Lily out. "There you go." He set Lily down on the table. "Thanks." He breathed heavily. The guild went on doing their normal things. The group sat down at the table Lucy was asleep at. Gajeel turned his head to the sleeping mage that started to mumble in her sleep. "Have…to get Columbia….and Draco…..to call Metallicana…..for….Gajeel…." She mumbled. Gajeel looked at her confused. She mumbled again, "Need…to find out…..why they left…so we can help….for Gajeel….Natsu…and Wendy…". Natsu and Wendy heard the last few words and looked at her. "Maybe she is just dreaming." Natsu said. "Maybe, but when she sleeps talks she lists the things she needs to do." Gajeel said. "So, that was the surprise." Erza said. "So it's true?" Wendy asked. "Probably." Gajeel said. Lucy slowly woke up to confused faces. "What's wrong?" She asked. "You talked in your sleep again." Gajeel said. "Oh crap!" She yelled. "I think I know what the surprise is, Lucy." Erza said. "So now you know that I'm trying to contact the dragons." Lucy said. "Yea." Wendy said. "Well, Surprise!' She giggled. "Are you really going to try to Luce?" Natsu said. 'Yup. Like Draco said, they had to leave because of a matter that was life threatening. I was going to call them and figure out why and fix it so you guys could see them again." She explained. "When where you going to do it?" Wendy asked. "Tomorrow." She replied. "Then we will forget that you even said anything." Wendy smiled. "That's easier said than done, Wendy." Gajeel said. "Well, you guys could come along, but you can't talk." She said. "Ok." Natsu nodded. "I'm gunna head for the apartment, you can come along or come later Gaj." She said walking out of the guild. "Bye, see ya tomorrow." Gajeel got up and followed Lucy.

*At The Apartment*

"So, you really are going try." Gajeel said. "Yea, I wanted to do something for everyone." Lucy said. "Well, thanks for doing this." Gajeel gave her a kiss. "It really means a lot that you appreciate this, because it will cost a lot of magic energy." Lucy said. "It means a lot that you are willing to do this." He said. "Let's get to bed and we will talk more tomorrow." She said. "Ok." He walked over to the bed and climbed in. "One thing first." She said. "And that is?" He asked. "Open gate of the dragon, Draco!" She said. Draco appeared in the middle of the room. "Hello, Lucy." Draco greeted. "Hey, did you talk with Columbia?" Lucy asked. "Yes and I talked to you know who also and he agrees." He said. "You can say his name since he found out through my sleep talking." Lucy giggled. "Oh, smooth move." Draco joked. "Hi." Gajeel waved. "Hello Gajeel, Lucy has told me many things about you." He said. "Oh really?" Gajeel smirked. Lucy blushed and giggled. "The plan will start tomorrow, tell Columbia." Lucy told him. "Ok. Have a good night Lucy." Draco left the two alone. "So, you talk about me?" Gajeel said. "What girlfriend wouldn't talk about their awesome boyfriend?" Lucy smiled and climbed into bed. "Night Bunny." He said. "Night metal head." She drifted off to sleep in her lover's arms.

*The Next Morning*

Lucy slowly rose up in her bed. "Wake up Gaj." She said. He grunted. "Don't make me push you." She threatened. "Not today." He laughed and pushed Lucy off the bed. "Well played." She laughed. They both got dressed and left for the guild. Lucy walked on the edge by the river. "Be careful Miss!" One of the fisher men yelled. "You are gunna fall one day!" The other one yelled. "Maybe!" She laughed. Gajeel just smiled at the sight of the once blonde haired mage. The couple walked into the rowdy guild. "Hey guys." Lucy waved. "Hey Luce!" Natsu said. "Hey." The rest said. "I'm gunna go get my milkshake." Lucy walked over to Mira. "Hey Lucy." She smiled. "Hey Mira, my usual please." Lucy said. "Sure thing." Mira went to the machine to make her milkshake. "Thanks." Lucy put the money on the counter and grabbed the shake. She walked back to her seat. "When are we going to do the thing?" Natsu asked. "In a few minutes. I just got here, Natsu." Lucy rolled her eyes. Gajeel just chuckled at the fire dragon slyer. After finishing her shake she lead the dragon slayers outside. "Open gate of the dove, Columbia!" Lucy said. "Are you ready, Lucy?" The dove asked. "Hang on let me get Draco." Lucy said. "Alright." Columbia said. "Open gate of the dragon, Draco!" She yelled. "I guess it is time?" Draco said. "Yes, Columbia get us three into the telepathic field." Lucy said. "Hey! You said we could be here." Natsu exclaimed. "Yes, I said you could be here. I don't want to chance anything so it is only us three. Don't worry I will tell you what they say. You still have to be quiet, because they can hear you." Lucy explained. "I'm starting the field." Columbia said. 'Hello, I assume it is time to explain.' "Yes, I am Lucy Heartfellia, I am the one who set this up." Hello Lucy, I assume you know our children' "Yes, I do. I am in the Guild, Fairy Tail with them." 'I am glad to see that they have such a caring friend' "Wow, I can't believe this worked!" Natsu said. "Natsu, I told you to be quiet." Lucy said. "Sorry." Natsu whispered. 'Wow, he listens to you' "It's not easy I can tell you that." 'Well, I guess we should explain our leaving.' "Yes." 'Well there are three mages that have poison, they used it on many other dragons and killed them. We went into hiding to not have that fate on us. I believe that the mages have the rest of the poison hidden in a shed in Oak town.' "Thanks for telling me. I will get Laxus to burn the poison and I can get Draco to fly us there. I am sure that the mages will come to get you so I will bring the others to get rid of them." 'Thank you for helping us Lucy. Draco told me something about one of them is your boyfriend. In particular my son.' "Yes, I am Gajeel's girlfriend. I was trying to keep this as a secret, but I mumbled that I had to do this in my sleep." 'I am surprised that my son has obtained a mate.' "I will be glad to meet you in person, Metallicana. I will explain this to the others and we will leave tomorrow." 'I will see you then. Goodbye Lucy.' "Goodbye.". Columbia shut the field and went back to the spirt realm. "So will you be able to fly us to where they are?" Lucy asked Draco. "Yes, I will be able to do that." Draco said. "Ok. I will see you tomorrow." She said. "Bye." He slowly disappeared. "What happened?" Wendy asked. "Let's go in and then I will explain." Lucy said. The four walked back into the guild. "Okay, there are three mages that have been trying to kill all of the dragons with poison. They went into hiding so they wouldn't die. I was speaking with Metallicana and he said that Grandeeny and Igneel have agreed to let us come. I have to speak with Laxus but he plan is mostly set." Lucy said. "Go talk to Laxus." Natsu said. "Alright." She got up and walked up to Laxus and Cana. "Hey Blondie." He said. "I'm not blonde anymore." Lucy pouted. "You were." He chuckled. "I was wandering if you'd help me and the other dragon slayers with something." Lucy said. "Sure, what is it?" He asked. "I need you to go to a little shed in Oak town and burn every last part of it." Lucy said. "Ok, when do I need to do it?" He asked. "Tomorrow morning." She said. "Got it." Laxus said. Lucy hugged him. "Thanks!" She squealed. Lucy ran back to the table. "He said that he would burn the shed." Lucy smiled. The rest of the day the group talked about the plan. "I need all of you at the guild by 4:00 a.m." Lucy said getting up to leave the guild. "Got it." Wendy nodded. "Ok." Natsu nodded. Lucy and Gajeel walked out of the guild. "I love you Bunny." He said. "I love you to Gaj." She said. He picked her up and swung her around. She giggled as he swung her. She kissed him and then they went into the apartment. "I'm gunna go to bed." She said changing into her gray pajamas with the Fairy Tail logo. "Night Bunny." Gajeel said. "Night metal head." Lucy said.

*4:00 the Next Morning*

The dragon slayers where all gathered at the front of the guild along with Lucy, Carla, Happy, and Pantherlily. "Are you guys ready?" Lucy asked. "Yup." Laxus said "Okay, go ahead and burn the poison and Cana watch his back." Lucy said. "Got it." They both ran off to Oak Town. "Now we are all going to on Draco. I will guard the cave when you guys are battling, since keeping open Draco's gate will be draining my energy." Lucy explained. "Ok." The dragon slayers said. "Open gate of the dragon, Draco!" Lucy yelled. "Ready guys?" Draco asked. "Yes, we are. Get on Draco and we will fly there." Lucy said. Everyone got onto Draco and flew off.

*At Oak Town*

"That was easy." Laxus said standing where the shed once stood. "Yea, I'm surprised no one came." Cana said. "We should tell Lucy." He said. "I gave her a card that we can call her on." She pulled out the card. They called Lucy's card. "Hey, what's up Cana?" Lucy asked. "We are finished here. What's up there." Cana replied. "We are about to make it to the island." Lucy said. "Ok, I'll see you later then." She said. "Bye Cana." Lucy said as she hung up.

*At the Island*

"We are here Lucy." Draco said as he landed. "Ok, go back I can't keep the gate open any longer." Lucy said. "Bye Lucy." Draco disappeared as Lucy dropped to the ground. "You did a great job Bunny." Gajeel picked her up. "Thanks." She smiled as she relaxed her head on his chest. "Where are they?" Natsu asked. "They are in the cave over there." Lucy pointed. The group and mages and exceeds walked in the cave. "They are here." Metallicana said. "Dad!" Natsu ran in and hugged Igneel's foot. "Mom!" Wendy ran up to Grandeeny. "Hey old man." Gajeel said as walked up too Metallicana with the sleeping mage. Natsu and Wendy where having a conversation with Igneel and Grandeeny before the dragons noticed the sleeping mage. "Who is that?" Igneel asked. "This is the girl I was telling you about. Lucy Heartfellia." Metallicana said. "She is very brave to do this." Grandeeny said. "Lu-chan has been like a sister to me." Wendy said. "Hello Gajeel." Metallicana said. Lucy started to wake up from her slumber. "You feel any better Bunny?" Gajeel asked looking down at her. "Yea, I can feel my magic coming back." She mumbled. "Hello, you must be Lucy." Metallicana said. "Yes, it is nice to finally meet you in person." Lucy said. "The pleasure is mine." He said. Lily and the other exceeds walked up to Lucy. "Thank you for making Wendy happy, Lucy." Carla said. "I was no problem. I am quite happy to see her happy too." Lucy said. "Thanks Lucy!" Happy hugged her. "No problem Happy." Lucy smiled. The other two exceeds went to their friends. "I'm glad to have met you Lu." Pantherlily said climbing into her lap. "Same here." Lucy smiled. A blue light shined around Lucy. She switched into her Gemini takeover from being happy. Gajeel set her down near Metallicana. "You truly are a brave girl, Lucy. I am glad you are my son's mate." Metallicana said. "I am glad to be his mate to. He is a really sweet guy. We met 10 years ago when he saved me." Lucy said. "You must have been the girl he always went to go and see." He said. "I guess so." She smiled and looked over at Gajeel. "You two are cute together." Grandeeny said. Lucy blushed and got up. "You three need to go out and see if you see the three mages coming. I think I have enough power to tell Leo co tome out and tell him to come on his own power to help." Lucy said. "No, we can handle it. You don't need to use any more magic energy." Gajeel said. "I want to help." Lucy pouted. "You've helped us by getting us here." He said. "Fine." She grumbled. Gajeel gave her a kiss before running out of the cave. Natsu and Wendy ran behind him.

*Outside the cave*

"I can smell three mages and sense their energy." Wendy said. "That must be them." Gajeel said. The three mages slowly came into sight. "They are here." Natsu said. "Looks like we aren't alone on this island." One of the mages said. "Well, you aren't going to be on the island in a few minutes." Natsu said. The other mages just laughed. Each dragon slayer did a roar that caught the mages by surprise. The dragon slayers fought till the death with the other mages. "They weren't that strong." Natsu said. "They put up a fight though." Gajeel said. "The dragons are free now!" Wendy cheered. "Yes they are." Natsu smiled.

*Inside the cave*

Lucy was inside and was worried about Gajeel, Wendy, and Natsu. When she heard them talking about how the dragons are free. She heard them talking when they walked in. "You are ok!" She jumped onto Gajeel. "I knew I would be." He chuckled. She kissed him and hugged him again. A green light shined around Lucy. She switched into Taurus's form. She had her hair into pigtails with white highlights. She had a white shirt with a black vest. She wore a plaid skirt with black suspenders hanging down. Taurus's symbol was on the right of her chest. "You guys are free now! Laxus has burned the rest of the poison." Wendy said. "I guess we can fly out." Grandeeny said. "I guess so." Igneel said. "It's all because of Lucy." Metallicana said. "It was no problem! I just wanted to do something for them." Lucy smiled. "Let's head to the guild." Wendy said. "We will fly you guys there." Grandeeny said. "The guild is in Magnolia." Natsu said. "Get on." Igneel said. Happy and Natsu got on Igneel, Wendy and Carla got on Grandeeny, and Lucy, Gajeel, and Pantherlily got on Metallicana. The dragons, mages, and exceeds flew back to Magnolia. "It is good to be back home." Wendy said. Igneel, Metallicana, and Grandeeny landed in an open space near the guild. "I'll go get Makarov." Lucy said running off.

*At the guild*

Lucy pushed open the door to the guild. "Where is Makarov?" Lucy asked. "Upstairs." Mira said. Lucy ran upstairs and burst into his office. "What's wrong?" Makarov asked. "We have the dragons here." Lucy tried to catch her breath. "Where are they?" He asked. "Follow me." She said walking out of the office. The two walked out of the guild to the dragons. Lisanna and Romeo followed the duo.

*At the field*

"Wendy!" Romeo ran up to her and hugged her. "Hi Romeo!" Wendy smiled. "Natsu!" Lisanna jumped onto him. "Hey Lisanna!" He kissed her. "Is that your mate, Natsu?" Igneel asked. "Yup!" Lisanna smiled. "Is that your mate?" Grandeeny asked. "Mom! No, he is just a really good friend." Wendy blushed. "Hello Metallicana, Igneel, and Grandeeny." Makarov said. "Are you Master Makarov?" Igneel asked. "Yes, I am." He nodded. "My son speaks highly of you." Igneel said. "Wendy does to." Grandeeny said. "My son just took care of Lucy instead of talked." Metallicana joked. "Well, she used up a lot of magic energy flying us there." Gajeel said. "Open gate of the dragon, Draco!" Lucy yelled. Draco appeared. "Thanks for everything." Lucy got down and hugged the dragon. "I was just helping a friend out." He said. "I'm glad I found you Draco." Lucy said. "Hello Metallicana, it is a pleasure to see you again." Draco said. "Hello Draco." Metallicana said. The guild had a party to celebrate.
