Fifth chapter coming at you! Enjoy and please review.
"Farron! Farron where are you?" Levy yelled throughout the consulate as she raced towards where she was hoping the young ambassador was at. She had gone to the guild first but Kaleb was incredibly busy, according to Thane, who also wasn't giving her the time of day. Levy went to the consulate next, since it was a working weekday she was hoping that she'd find the brother that'd be the most logical. If Farron wasn't here then she was going to storm the Pradesh estate in hopes that the patriarch was at his home. How could no one want to stop to find out why she was borderline hysterical? Levy opened the door to Farron's office, blinked several times before promptly slamming it shut. She would like to have a bottle of brain bleach right about now, or maybe she could convince Kaleb to wipe her memories? Maybe even Mest? The best course of action would be for Farron to finish his meeting with Freed, yeah that sounded good. She chose a comfy red chair in the corner, helping herself to some coffee, who knows how long she'd be here for.
Farron had Freed bent over his desk, hand wrapped in the long green locks of the rune mage. His free hand caressed his back as he slowly entered Freed, both moaning in delight. Freed was unmoving for the first while, letting his body adjust to Farron's glorious cock pushing in and out of him. "Farron. Faster. Please." The rune mage started to beg for more, craving it. Needing it. The pace that had been set was enough to make him crazy and all he could do was lick his lips in anticipation of what Farron was going to do with him.
"You feel so damn good Freed." Farron hummed as he begun to pick up his pace, smiling as Freed grabbed the edge of his dark wooden desk. Farron pushed rough, balls slapping the underside of Freed's ass cheeks. Freed moaned, grinding himself into the desk the pressure feeling incredibly good. The constant friction of Farron's large cock rippling within him, hitting deep, full, and faster. Freed began to buck back into Farron, his orgasm building as they continued to match each others thrusts.
"Gah, Farron you're amazing!" His body jackhammered into Freed's rear, pounding deep as he began to shake from the impact and his impending orgasm that was tightly coiling in his lower belly. He grunted and endured as Farron rammed himself harder, faster into Freed's relaxed asshole. He could feel Farron's hands gripping his hips firmly, crushing his resolve as he came all over the polished wood of the desk. His ass tightened around Farron's thick cock with the orgasm that rocked his body, causing Farron to scream his name as he convulsed. Warm liquid leaked from him as he felt Farron gently pull out from his worn body.
"Here is a warm towel to wipe yourself off. We apparently have a very tense guest waiting for us outside," Farron smirked to himself and then kissed Freed softly on the lips. "I am glad you opted to stay with me here instead of going with your friends, and I know you didn't agree with the way my brother handled the situation either."
"No-one is without their faults, but I still fail to see how Kaleb's strategy without her is the best." Freed shook his head as he finished doing up his jacket while fixing his cravat. "She has so many versatile spirits that would be adept for all kinds of scenarios, plus she has two huge magical containers to house her casting magic. I am almost positive that the third one will open soon."
"I can't pretend to know my brother's reasoning," Farron smiled as he rested his hand on Freed's shoulder.
"I just, I just can't help but feel like something is wrong." Freed shook his head while contemplating his first real interaction with Lucy. It was shortly before Tenrou Island, he had been hiding behind books ever since Laxus had been kicked out of Fairy Tail. Their fearless leader had been misguided in their attempts to weed the weak mages from the guild, turned out no-one was really that weak. They found out that day that there were several different kinds of strengths that would be admired. Physical, mental, and emotional. All three could be personified within one mage, in his mind, and that was Miss Heartfilia. Physical strength wasn't her main attribute, true, but mental and emotional strength was where she shined.
She was so willing to forgive all of them after the events of Fantasia, didn't so much as blink an eye when Gajeel and Juvia joined the guild and was constantly smiling even when her goofy partner demolished another reward. Yet here she was laughing over one of Cana's lame sexual jokes while she stroked Lily's fur and ordered him another round of kiwis. He watched her gracefully stand up and make his way over to his table, more than likely going to head over to the bathroom. He went back to reading a book in ancient Sevenese for a mission for Crocus' Historical Museum, reading it first so he could translate it later.
"Hey Freed," Lucy's bright smile pulled him from his book with a questioning glance.
"Hello Miss Lucy. Is there something you need my assistance with?"
"I just came to see how you were doing?"
"I don't understand. I am not unwell if that is what you are inquiring."
"No Freed," Lucy shook her head gently, "I want to know how you are doing. I know the reintroduction to the guild hasn't been the smoothest and there are some bumps to overcome yet. I just wanted to let you know that I am here if you wanted to talk with someone about all of it." Freed became slack-jawed, eyes wide as he stared at the blonde woman. No-one had dared to even ask anything about him, not even his own team, but they were mostly keeping to themselves nowadays.
"It's been harder than I imagined Miss Lucy, but not without reason. I have been coping well enough but I do miss Laxus and my teammates." It was the truth. His team had been spending some time apart, doing solo missions, and he had been taking solace within his books. He couldn't blame anyone in the guild with the cold shoulders he was getting.
"Well, I don't think you'll need to worry about that for much longer." The smile she had on her face made him slightly suspicious of her. She left whistling a tune and skipping towards Mira at the bar. Later that afternoon Bickslow and Evergreen had made their way to his table, all three of them conversed like nothing had changed and no time had passed. It wasn't until much later that he realized that Lucy had put his small team back together by just listening and offering some advice. "Shall we see what Miss McGarden is wanting us for?"
"Levy," Farron opened the door, "What can we help you with today?"
"Lucy has been kidnapped."
Erza and Laxus were walking through a small marketplace in some random town they were looking for the dark guild at. There were several rumours they had overhears sp Kaleb decided to split them up to track down. So far day one had proved to be utterly boring and Laxus had been hard-pressed to join with Erza when the Master of White Sea had created the teams. He wanted to reach through the mental link he had with Kaleb and strangle the damn man. Erza? He had nothing in common with the red-headed woman besides the fact that they had shitty pasts and were both part of Fairy Tail. Not that he was particularly talkative. His dragon had been unusually quiet since they started as well which he was hella thankful for. The quiet was a nice change to the loud guild and his team, just being able to walk in silence was refreshing.
"I don't think we are going to find anything within the town. We should search the surrounding forest to see if we are able to locate another strange cabin. If we use the same logistics as when we found the previous cabin then," Erza began to look around her setting, then at the sun, back to the forest. "We should head north-east for roughly thirty minutes."
"We don't have anything better to do," Laxus brushed past Erza, bumping shoulders as he started the short walk. This was the best lead they had so far and they might as well check it out. Sure as shit there was a creepy as fuck cabin in a dark forest, not stereotypical at all. He kicked open the door, strode on in and began to rummage around. "I don't smell anything or anyone in here. No magic, no humans."
"The level of dust suggests it's been abandoned for at least a month. There's no food in the cupboards either, it's like this place wasn't used for more than an occasional meet-up," Erza looked around the cupboards and found some unlabeled bottles containing the same dark purple liquid in each. She counted them and there were seventeen left, pulling one out she looked to see if there was a label or some kind of ink on the bottles. The only defining item on the bottle was the stopper where a heart with a downward facing arrow piercing the middle. "Laxus, what do you suppose this," Erza turned to show the slayer, her hands hitting his arm, the bottle dropped to the floor and shattered. The purple liquid suddenly became a gas and quickly permeated the air.
"Move it red!" Laxus shouted as they bolted out of the cabin to where the fresh air was. "What the hell was that stuff?"
"I don't know. I was going to ask you before I dropped it." Erza suddenly felt really hot, almost itchy. She requipped into her lazy Sunday clothes but still felt the need to scratch, but it wasn't her skin that she felt the need to do something about. "Laxus I feel . . . strange?" Laxus was feeling strange as well, but he knew the feeling quite well. It was the need to fuck someone, to have an orgasm and release. He suspected that the potion was a lust drug and they were both being drawn to one another against their will. He looked over at the woman who was suddenly taking off her skirt and shirt to reveal her matching baby blue bra and bikini bottoms. His eyes glazed over as he watched her hands sinuously across her large breasts, down her toned abs, and into the top of her underwear.
"Laxus, help me. Pleeeease," Erza had never begged for anything in her life, but here she was begging for the man before her. Laxus' thin strand of control snapped at hearing her request. He slammed Erza into the nearest tree, knew he'd hit her hard, but feeling her body against his own was heavenly. She was soft and hard, beautiful and ferocious, all wrapped into one perfect body. A body that was made for him. Mate. Take her! Claim her! Bite her! Make her yours for all eternity. He could give two shits about what his dragon was yelling in his head, all he could comprehend was how stiff this woman was making him. "You're wearing too many clothes Laxus!" She ripped his dark blue button-up shirt from his shoulders, buttons popping from the force she used.
"Fuck red!" He'd never had someone be so forceful with him before, and fuck was it a huge turn on.
"Fuck me Laxus. Right here against the tree. Show me the real you, the dragon you." Laxus had always been one of her go-to men to fulfil her masturbation fantasies. Strong, broad, didn't take shit from anyone. Erza had always been in control of her life since she left the tower and being a sub was something that made her feel loved, wanted, and beyond sexual. Now here she was trapped between his muscular arms against a tree and about to be fucked by him, she'd never been so incredibly wet in her life.
"You sure red?" Laxus questioned, even though his raging hard-on was telling him otherwise.
"Fuck me right now or I will pin you to the ground and impale myself on you anyways until I cum."
"We'll explore you riding me that hard at a later date." His jeans and boxers were instantly on the floor and in one quick thrust of his hips, he was sheathed in her hot pussy. Laxus wasted no time in setting a brutal pace, teeth dragging along her chest before taking a nipple and sucking harshly on it. Erza threw her head back a let out a long, low moan. He could feel his lightning to start to flare up, and almost stopped if it wasn't for Erza pulling his lips to hers. The electricity made the kiss more intense, needier.
"Harder Laxus!" Erza demanded. She'd never felt like this with anyone before, the deep connection with another person. "Right there. Don't stop, please don't stop!" He'd found that magical spot within her that had her on edge of cumming all over his magnificent cock. "Yes, Laxus! YES!" Her entire world shattered as she clamped down on him causing Laxus to roar before biting her shoulder, releasing his magic into her body. The two of them pulled apart to take some much-needed breaths, both with smiles on their faces, Erza's slightly more sinister. "Again?"
Evergreen was biting her lips as they were sitting down to have a brief water break and snack, very happy that Freed made her change into hiking boots. She was reflecting on her relationship with Elfman and how it was missing . . . something. Yes, they had grown apart, sex had become a chore, and she had been utterly miserable and yet she wanted it to last because she thought she was unlovable.
"Jewel for your thoughts?"
"I'm a massive bitch who's going to be alone for the rest of her life!" Evergreen quickly covered her mouth with her hands, word vomit at its finest. Beck was the sweetest, kindest, most patient man she had ever met, and here he was holding her hand and asking how she was. She'd been holding in these feeling for far too long and the bottle had finally shattered. They only person, outside of her team, to ever listen to her was Lucy and the bomb squad had hauled her away after the breakup and she hadn't been able to see her since. Her forgiving nature had drawn Evergreen in after they had spent a day of shopping and getting to know one another. They had been spending time together at the guild and Lucy had convinced her to sit down with Bickslow to make amends. After hitting him several times with her fan they had ordered drinks and began to catch up. The next day they had gone to Freed and the Thunder Legion was complete once again.
"I don't know what any man sees in me. I've been called names too my face for as long as I could remember, Bickslow excluded because he's an idiot. No-one wants to be my friend and I can't blame them, I hang out with three neanderthals all the time and am not the most approachable."
"Ever, Evergreen. Breathe honey," Beck smiled kindly at the fairy mage, grabbing both of her nail, painted hands in his large rough ones.
"I'm going to grow old alone with thirty-six cats with wallpaper covered walls and," Evergreen was silenced with Beck's lips pressed softly against her own. He pulled her into his lap, biting her bottom lip so she gasped so that he could taste her. Her hands wrapped around his neck as she pulled him in closer, relishing in the moment.
"Evergreen you have so many amazing qualities. You're independent, strong, loyal, fierce, beautiful," he kissed her cheek to reassure her. "You have been a guest at the guild so many times and I have wanted to tell you every time you showed up, but you were still with Elfman."
"Bickslow says you're into some kinkier, rougher things when it comes to sex. I . . . I don't know if I'm the girl for you." She had heard stories of every man in the guild from Bicklsow and Vander, but the stories she had heard of Beck made her toes curl and slightly nervous.
"I do like to partake in bondage and some other kinks, but I assure you I won't pressure you into any of them. There are things we can work up too and things you can always say no too. I like you a lot Ever and would like an honest shot with y," Evergreen pulled him in for a kiss this time, clearly alright with trying things.
"Yes. I want to be with you and share pleasure with you and we can continue where we left off once we're done this mission."
"Agreed," Beck stopped and turned his eyes to the forest. "Looks like the animals have something to tell us." A whitetail deer and a small grey rabbit approached the pair of mages. The doe nuzzled his shoulder and the rabbit jumped onto Evergreen's legs who was petting the soft fur on the small animal. "They found a trail where a lot of humans have been coming and going lately and earlier in the day a large bird landed with the scary lady and a blonde woman."
"You don't suppose it was Lucy . . . do you?"
"I need to get a hold of Cristoff and Master Kaleb."
Bickslow had been flying on his babies through the heavily dense forest, Vander was playing around in the shadows, and Cristoff was running at top slayer speed on the mossy ground. They were the last group to head off in search of the final rumour about the dark guild uprising and if nothing occurred by the end of the day all the mages would meet back at the guild no later than midnight. Bickslow was supposed to be paired with Freed but he'd been snatched by his oldest brother and was probably having a whole hell of a lot more fun than he currently was. He started to cough as he swallowed another bug, deciding maybe a full face mask might be a great investment going forward.
"Did you eat another bug?" Cristoff's laughing voice echoed throughout the forest.
"No!" he tried to defend himself.
"You totally did Bix!" cackled Vander from some random shadow. "Stop daydreaming about a certain blonde and maybe your mouth would stop hanging open."
"I wasn't," the seith mage protested before mumbling, "Well not this time anyway."
"Alright. Then how about you let your balls drop and fess up to what the hell is on your mind if it's not the sinful blonde back in Bosco." Vander appeared out of the shadows, dropping to a fallen log where he waited for his brothers to meet him. Normally his older brother would just fire something back, he was sharp as a tack when it came back to comebacks, but he was obviously distracted by something.
"Yea Bix," Cristoff piped up as he landed next to Vander, sitting down on a stump. "You've been off since we left the guild. I know you don't like how things went down with Lucy but surely that's not the cause of this." Bickslow jumped off the babies and sat on another stump, creating a triangle of Pradesh brothers.
"Yes I'm still slightly pissed about Lucy not being on the mission, but that's not what I am concerned about," Bickslow said as he leaned against another tree, taking his helmet off. "None of this sits right with me. A dark guild is amassing to try to bring back an evil dead spirit, who we still haven't identified yet, and need an incredibly powerful soul in order to do so which I have never laid eyes on myself. They are going to have an incredibly strong dark seith mage which means I may very well be on the run and not allowed to return to Bosco, again. Top it all off I'm in love with the hottest woman in Fairy Tail, the damn Light herself, and I'm more likely to have a one-on-one battle with a live dragon than land her."
"We have seven extremely powerful mages on this mission, plus an entire guild to back us," Cristoff started to list off some items to counter his brother's worries. "The list you found may be used for another kind of spell, which Freed will be working hard on and hopefully Levy and Lucy are around to help with that. It might not be an evil spirit it could just be a spirit in general. There are too many unknowns to figure all of that out. With Lucy, you just need to fucking man up and ask the woman. She may not be Boscan but you sure as shit are so figuring out how you're going to do more than just talk to the woman."
"How did you even manage to get her to talk to you?" Vander had always been interested in how that had happened. Not that his brother couldn't land any woman he wanted to pursue but she seemed so pure and he wasn't, like not even a little.
"The first time or the actual conversation?" his brothers looked at each other before replying, "Both." Of course, they'd want to know both stories. "The first story there isn't too much to tell. I ended up fighting her during Fantasia, when Laxus had lost his ever-loving mind, and she ended up kicking my ass with her lion spirit. She was dressed up as a cheerleader and was using a whip, the kinkiest combination I had ever seen. Second time . . . second time she forgave me and helped bring the team back together." Bickslow got a far-off look on his face as he recalled that day with the utmost clarity. "We left the guild at the same time one day, I was depressed about everything and she was pissed at her team. We ended up going to the park and talking for hours, well I talked for hours while she listened. I told her about my past."
"Like how in depth did you go?" Cristoff asked slowly. The family was all quite aware of how Bickslow was found and what would mean he'd have to leave Bosco for years before any contact would be made with him.
"Everything." Bickslow's past wasn't filled with unicorns and rainbows, on the contrary, it was quite horrific. Kaleb had been with his father on a diplomatic mission when the mindbender heard Bickslow calling out for help. They found him in a cell below a dark guild where a dark seith was about to devour his soul to gain more magic for himself. He didn't remember what happened to the vile man, just remembered how much pain he'd been as his soul was being torn from his body. Bickslow had stayed in Kaleb's arms, inconsolable, until well after the had returned home. He had been sold to the dark guild, his family not wanting him or his 'evil' magic that killed people at random. He had been blamed for his parent's death, not the bandit that had come to rob them, so the family did away with him as soon as possible. He was adopted by Arman Pradesh and able to stay in Bosco with his loving family for one year before the government decided to purge all seith magic from the country. Arman managed to get him safely to Fiore where his magic was still legal and he randomly bumped into Laxus one day. The two had become thick as thieves before he was invited to Fairy Tail.
He'd told Lucy that his fucked up past was the reason he never committed past one night with any individual, that he couldn't put someone he truly cared about through that. He told her about his life growing up in Fairy Tail, how acrobatics and gymnastics came easily to him since his father had started him in the two sports. It had helped a lot with his magic being more long range than close, and that with his figure eyes he could control hundreds of souls if he really wanted too. He could tell if a soul was good, lost, or evil and had the ability to help them crossover or destroy them completely. Some souls couldn't be saved or shouldn't. He could peer into a person's soul and bring out their best or worst memories, could torment them with the bad ones if he so chose. She hadn't run from his then and even continued to visit with him every couple of days.
Then he had told her how lonely he was due to the team splitting up, all wanting some time apart after Fantasia. He missed his team and their leader, the camaraderie they all shared. She had simply laughed and told her that they would come around eventually and oddly enough Evergreen had approached him the next day. He called her Medusa and was assaulted with her fan several times over, but they sat together the rest of the day and the following day Evergreen dragged him over to Freed. The Thunder Legion was re-formed and they all started taking missions again. It wasn't until after Tenrou and the Grand Magic Games they were able to put their stories together and understood what Lucy had done for all of them. She really was deserving of the title 'Light of Fairy Tail.'
"And she didn't run for the hills?" Vander whistled long and loud. Thump. Bickslow showed his younger brother off the log he was residing on before the three of them broke out laughing.
"In all seriousness though," Cristoff said with a smile on his face, "Lucy is into you. If you don't trust me then ask your all-knowing brother, he got quite an eyeful when he was checking in on her." Bickslow sputtered all the water he had been drinking all over the ground. "Apparently the little blonde in quite curious about whether your tongue is as legendary as she's heard had quite the ideas on how she'd put you to work." The slack-jawed seith mage just stared at the lunar slayer, unbelievingly.
"It's not that far-fetched Bix," Vander stated with a shrug of his shoulders. "She has seen you out of your knightly get-up at the guild pool, dressed up at the castle in Crocus, and without your helmet several times. You're fuckable and she wants a ride."
"Maybe my tongue can earn her forgiveness?" Bickslow waggled his eyebrows suggestively.
"Atta boy Bix! Multiple orgasms definitely couldn't hurt your chances." The two brothers laughed before they looked at Cristoff who was being too quiet. "I know that look. What has our fun-sucking brother done now?"
"He hasn't done anything, but we need to head back to the guild ASAP. Laxus is bringing Erza and Thane has been sent to get Beck and Evergreen," Cristoff was trying to not have to say anything more, but knew by the looks on their faces he wasn't going to get away with it. "Lucy was kidnapped from the beach in Pelerno."
