So here you are guys. Much sooner than I though actually but who cares. Anyways, enjoy.
"He's got Blue Pegasus?" Levy whimpered, catching the attention of all of her guild mates. Mira nodded tearfully as Lisanna and Elfman picked her up off of the floor. Gajeel sat down beside her and gathered her shaking form in his arms. Everyone was too worried to make a snide comment anyways.
"He won't get you again. We'll save Blue Pegasus too." Gajeel ground out, wiping the tears from her eyes. Levy nodded shakily and pushed herself away from him, standing up bravely. Gajeel stood with her and wrapped an arm around her waist, steadying and protecting her.
"This means war but I don't want you getting hurt. I'll address this issue on my own." She choked out, closing her eyes to their shocked faces. Her nakama would always help her, she knew that, but sometimes it just seemed too dangerous. Gajeel's arm tightened around her waist and everyone starting crying in outrage.
"Silence!" Mirajane bellowed, shaking precariously in her siblings' grip. "Levy... how could we not fight with you? This isn't just about you anymore. That dirty man has all of Blue Pegasus! Think about it. The masters are all down at the council for a very important meeting. Bob can't help his guild and Master Makarov can't help us so we must help each other. You're not the only one with a score to settle. We must all avenge you and they have Gray's step-brother! This isn't your fight. It's ours!" She screamed out, smiling as the guild stood up and roared with all their might.
"THIS IS FAIRY TAIL!" Everybody screamed, throwing their hands above their heads like skyward guns in Fairy Tail's symbolic gesture. Levy smiled at everyone who was so easily risking everything they had for her. This was what real nakama were like. She was going to fight for them now too. Mirajane was right after all. It wasn't just her battle.
(^.^) (^.^)
"They're here!" Warren shouted in their minds, alerting every Fairy Tail member of Natsu, Lucy, Erza and Happy's return. Mirajane nodded at Laxus who smiled and rounded everyone up, shooing them out the doors and in the direction of Blue Pegasus.
"Go Levy. Get them and meet us at the train station." Mirajane called, quickly following the rest of the guild. Levy nodded and fled in the opposite direction towards her best friend with Gajeel, Gray, Juvia, Wendy, Charle and Lily behind her.
Erza was the first one they spotted and she immediately ran up to them, cupping Levy's chin in her hands.
"What is it now?" She demanded, placing a threatening hand on her sword.
"T-Troy has B-Blue Pegasus h-hostage." Levy stuttered, shrinking back from Erza's angry glare. "We have to meet the others at the train station. We are going to save them and get revenge." Nodding briefly Erza gave the group a once over before starting to march to the train station on the opposite side of town. Without having much other choice Levy and her 'followers' followed Erza at a bit of a slower pace so Lucy, Natsu and Happy could catch up.
(^.^) (^.^)
"Mira, Troy really got Blue Pegasus?"
"Yes. All of the Masters are at a meeting with the council. They were at a disadvantage." Erza nodded crisply and went straight to the ticket box. Glaring at the woman she demanded thirty some odd tickets and handed over a bag of jewels in return. Ushering everyone on the train and with Laxus' help Erza managed to get the conductor to leave right then just for them.
Surprisingly everyone actually formed groups and dispersed to different compartments and even though Jet and Droy wanted to be with Levy she shooed them away and they ended up sitting with Laki. Levy actually felt a bit bad about that though but she didn't dwell on it since she had needed to get rid of them to be in her compartment with Lucy, Gajeel, Natsu, Wendy and the three exceeds. The latter were curled up comfortably on the floor while Lucy sat on one bench with Natsu's head in her lap and Wendy curled up against her side. Lucy was currently playing with Natsu's hair as Natsu and Wendy slept. Levy smiled at them and let her gaze wander until it stopped at the window. She was currently sitting cross-legged on Gajeel's lap as he sat there thinking. They were speeding by everything at an incredible pace and Levy watched it blur by with fear in her heart.
Knowing her guild could do whatever they put their minds to was reassuring but she wasn't quite sure she could handle it. Troy had tricked her, abused her and threatened her. She was strong, she'd give herself that much but she also knew she was fearful. Sure she had forgiven and even warmed up to Gajeel eventually-that much was obvious by the way she was sitting on him-but she could never, ever do the same for Troy. Shaking with silent tears Levy pulled her hands up to her eyes and blocked out the world, trying to find her happy place.
A rough hand rubbed her bare knee then as an arm came around her waist and pulled her back into an iron hard chest.
"Gajeel... I'm scared." Levy whispered brokenly, grabbing Gajeel's larger hand in both of hers.
"I know Short Stuff... I know." He whispered back, giving her hands a gentle squeeze. "But swallow it if you can. We're not that far away now." Levy bit back a gasp as her back tensed and she froze, thinking about his evil smile as he stalked towards her.
"Hey, calm down. Ya know I'm not good with crying. I'll be with you the whole time, 'kay?" Gajeel muttered, shaking her roughly by the shoulders. Levy looked over at him with tear filled eyes and nodded, burying her head in his shoulder and gripping his shirt with her little fists. Gajeel sighed as he wrapped his other arm around her and basically protected her from the world.
"You know... you really are like a big teddy bear." Levy choked out through her tears. Gajeel's eyes widened and he glared down at the top of her blue haired head.
"I am not." He retorted weakly, knowing deep down that she was right.
"Whatever you say." She managed to giggle. Gajeel let out a little smirk and rested his chin on the top of her head, watching the forest thin out until the reached a high stone wall. A magicked sliding door slid open quickly and efficiently, allowing them entry into the city. Gajeel had no idea where he was. All he knew was that he'd better stay somewhat close to Mira and Laxus since they knew this place and, thankfully, where the Blue Pegasus guild was located as well.
"Everybody better be awake. We're going right in!" Laxus bellowed as he strode down the corridor right outside their little compartment. Lucy's eyes snapped open and she gently nudged Wendy awake before sitting Natsu up and propping him on her shoulder as she dug a wrapped fish out of her bag.
"Happy! Get up!" She hissed, throwing the fish down by her feet. Happy immediately sat up and lunged forwards, snatching the fish before it could make contact with the floor.
"Fanks Lushy!" Happy purred around the fish. Levy smiled while Lucy just rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, yeah. I need you to carry Natsu once the train stops. You know he considers me to be transportation." Happy nodded cheerfully and sat on top of Natsu's head, still munching on his 'wake-up' fish. Pantherlily groaned and stretched, popping out his wings to hover above them all. Seconds later the train was brought to a complete standstill and Erza's hoarse hollers could be heard echoing throughout the train. Taking a final, steadying breath the eight stepped out of the compartment and off of the train, staring out across a bustling city.
"Pretty little thing isn't it?" Mirajane chirped from beside them. Everyone jumped and took a step back in alarm.
"Oh, Mira-San it's just you." Levy muttered, smiling softly in embarrassment. Mira smiled back and called out, gaining the attention of all the other Fairy Tail mages.
"Everyone find the person or people you battle the best with or find people you just work well with in general. We're leaving now." With that Mira grabbed Erza and Laxus by their wrists and dragged them with her. They would be partners as well anyways since Mira wanted the strongest ones to free everyone while the others battled the dark mages. That way they'd have more mages in a shorter period of time.
Gajeel stayed with Levy while Lucy paired up with Natsu and Juvia with Gray. Wendy, along with the three exceeds, was going to be protected by all three of these groups at once. Alzack and Bisca paired up leaving Cana, Macao, Wakaba and-surprisingly-Romeo in a group while the Strauss siblings and the Rajinshuu made another. All that was left really was Jet, Droy, Laki, Reedus, Nab and Vjeeter who just stayed together. Kinana had stayed back at the guild to watch over Asuka.
Not even five minutes later they arrived in front of what could only be Blue Pegasus.
"Erza, Laxus... go." Mira whispered, immediately assuming command. The two S-Class mages nodded and took off, each going a different direction. "Cana, get a reading. Macao, Wakaba, Romeo... go in, Cana will be along shortly. Bisca and Alzack! You two are to stay at the doors as a guard. You may not leave your posts but you may shoot at anything you'd like." The five each gave her a weak smile and ran in after their two companions leaving Cana crouched in the entry way.
"It's possible but will be difficult. That is all I can say. Good luck everyone." Cana said, straightening up and running inside. Mira scowled angrily at the ground.
"Okay then... Natsu, Gajeel, Gray. Take your groups and go. Levy, be careful." She warned, ushering them inside.
"My group, let's go. The rest of you do your best to guard our main fighters. If worse comes to worst... Reedus, draw up a carriage, get everyone you can and leave. No questions asked." She declared, fighting back tears. Reedus looked at her with pain in his eyes and agreed with a sad 'Oui'.
(^.^) (^.^)
"Flame brain, to your right!" Gray called, shoving Juvia out of the way of a magic bullet and sending a lance at the assailant, swiftly ending his struggle. Natsu immediately sent a Fire Dragons Flaming Fist at his attacker while Wendy used her roar to save Lucy. Lucy smiled gratefully and called out Loke, setting him after two purple haired mages who had been after the exceeds. Cana was back-to-back with Macao and Wakaba while Romeo sat on her shoulders and sent flame after flame at all those within twenty feet of his father while Macao guarded Cana.
When they had entered twenty seconds ago everything was quiet and no one was in sight. Wendy had called out for any remaining Blue Pegasus members and there was an immediate reaction. Dark mages poured from all available entry points and Fairy Tail was almost overwhelmed. Thankfully everyone had someone watching their backs so it made it ridiculously easy to stay focused on your opponent.
Erza popped up beside Mirajane wearing her purgatory armour and a fierce scowl to match. Swinging her arms in agitated gestures she accidentally knocked out three of the opposing mages as she explained what she had found to Mira.
"Men~!" Ichiya suddenly screamed out, leaping down from the second floor with ease. His trimens followed swiftly behind him and they began attacking and aiding Fairy Tail, aside from Ichiya, who decided to come up and smell Erza's hand. Pushing him away in disgust Erza stabbed a man who had been about to attack Mirajane.
"There you have it. Blue Pegasus is almost fully freed and they and Laxus will be joining us shortly." Erza shouted out for everyone to hear. Letting out a cheer of hope all Fairy Tail members fought harder than before, not aware of the dark presence lurking behind a door a few rooms away from them. While everyone was engaged in their battles Wendy stayed mostly hidden behind Gajeel and Natsu as she shot out a breath of air here and there and healed all the little scratches her protective circle got. An arm suddenly circled her waist and a hand clamped over her mouth as she lashed back, kicking and punching frantically. The exceeds were flying around the dark mages and dropping random bits of rubble on their heads for distraction and did not notice her desperate attempts to free herself.
"Wendy! Let go of her you creep!" Levy screamed, punching the man who held the little mage captive. Stumbling backwards and rubbing at his jaw said man smirked happily.
"So good to see you again. Glad to see your wounds have healed. Now come come. I've been expecting you." The man crooned, beckoning to Levy with his finger. Levy stood still, completely frozen by fear.
"Levy-San! No!" Wendy screeched as Troy flew off with her protector.
Gajeel had reacted as soon as he heard the voice, punching everything out of his way to get to Levy, but he was too late. The man was already gone. Sniffing around quickly brought Gajeel to the conclusion that his scent was everywhere and he would actually have to take his time and find the freshest scent.
"Fuck!" He swore, kicking a random dark mage who happened to be battling Juvia.
"Gajeel, go find her. Juvia and the rest will be fine." Juvia told him, smiling sorrowfully. Gajeel blinked at her before running off into the next corridor. He had to find Levy soon.
(^.^) (^.^)
"Isn't the view lovely?" The man questioned, dragging Levy along by her hair. They were up on the roof now and he was dragging Levy right along the edge.
"Why Troy? What do you want?" She questioned.
"Why, you ask? Well, so I can win, to get revenge, to get you." He drawled, kicking her in the ribs. Glaring viciously at him Levy spat at his feet giving an amused smirk as he let out a little squeal.
"Going to be difficult again? Well no matter. I'll have you fixed in no time." He whispered venomously, raising her off the ground only to slam her down again.
While Levy laid there, stunned, Troy positioned himself so that he straddled her and had her arms pressed together on the roof above her head. When Levy's vision cleared and she could no longer hear her heartbeat pounding in her ears she tried kneeing him in the back only to find that her legs weren't long enough. Shifting his hands so that he held both of her wrists in one he took his free hand and ran in along her cheek, flinching as she moved to bite him.
"Don't do that you little bitch." He snarled, slapping her across the face. The impact of the hit sent her head sideways and she slammed her face into the gravel roof. Troy smirked and pulled at the top button on her blouse in an almost playful way. Levy jerked violently,trying to roll away from him.
"Oh no, stay here." Troy growled, digging her wrists into the loose gravel beneath them. Levy winced and attempted to kick him once again. Smacking her nose hard enough to stun her Troy jerked down her top, ripping it along the seams and popping off the buttons as he went.
"Huh... how's such thin material supposed to protect you from lovers such as myself?" He asked her, flicking at the edges of her bra.
"Lovers such as yourself? Ha. Don't you dare." She snarled, bucking her hips to try and throw him off.
"Why not? This could be fun." With that he moved his hand down to her shorts, breaking the clasp immediately. Levy gasped and squeezed her eyes shut, willing the tears not to fall.
"What's wrong? Don't want me to touch you like this?" He asked, running his hand along her sides and squeezing her hips fondly. Levy tensed and let out a cry. Troy smirked and took this opportunity to slam his lips on hers, biting her bottom lip as he did so.
"I thought it was an appropriate time for some payback." He laughed sitting back up. Levy gasped and spat over her shoulder, coughing violently.
"You bastard." She wheezed, earning herself another slap.
"You've got it wrong. I'm the prince." He laughed, slapping her again for good measure. "And, since I'm the prince, I think I'll be nice and give the dragon another minute while I play with you some more."
"What do you mean?" Levy coughed, blood and spit flying out of her mouth. Troy stared distastefully at he mouth for a moment before replying.
"I'm controlling this battle of course. I'm signalling my warriors to attack as we speak. You didn't think downstairs was all I had, right? Shame little fairy. I have hundreds more. I think I'll send a couple hundred for your little boyfriend. You know, keep him busy for another minute." He smirked, reaching back to squeeze her thigh. Levy jerked and lifted her other leg, slamming her sandal covered foot down on his fingers.
"Shit, you sneaky little bitch. You'll pay for that." He shouted, lifting his hips up enough to slide down her shorts. Levy screamed profusely, moving around as much as she could to try and slow him down.
"Shut it!" Troy screamed, slamming his lips down on hers and jamming his tongue in her mouth. Levy bit his tongue, not letting go as Troy brought his free hand up to slap her face and pull her hair. When he gave up and brought his hand back down to her stomach she gasped sharply, allowing him to free himself.
"You drew blood!" He cried incredulously, holding his tongue in pain.
"That's not the last of your blood that will be drawn." She retorted, spitting his own blood at him. Troy glared down at her and slapped her viciously as the red liquid splattered across his purple shirt.
"That's it. Playtime's over." He snarled, running his hands along her sides and squeezing her stomach and hips. Levy jerked and snarled at him before letting out a gut wrenching scream as Troy took out a dagger and slashed her arms, finally placing his hand on the rim of her underwear.
