Hello again, I told you this would go down quickly. Here's second chapter, hope you like it! Please leave a review, follow or favorite since there will be more chapters to come (this was intended to be just a short one-shot but kept getting bigger and bigger)
Shouts out to kurisu313. His story Iron Body & Shinning Soul gave me the rough ideas on how to write the fighting scenes. If you haven't done it already, go and read his story. It's really good!
Disclaimer: I forgot to mention this in the previous chapter, but I own nothing about this story.
Just a small reminder of last chapter:
Gajeel smiled when he noticed Levy readying her fighting stance. She seemed undisturbed by the bastard's words.
You can do this, Shorty.
"Let the match begin!"
(A/N So, the previous sections I had been going from Fairy Tail Team A to Team B to the audience and to the fighting arena. I don't think the next part would work like that, so I'll be just going from one to another just stating who is saying what. Hope it's clear enough for you)
Bacchus dashed forward to attack Levy. His speed was as impressive as rumors had said.
But what shocked Fairy Tail mages weren't the movements of the Quatro Cerberus' competitor, but how Levy reacted to those.
As Bacchus moved forward, Levy did it as well. She dashed head on towards her opponent without casting any spell first.
"What is she doing?" Lucy asked Erza. Didn't Erza just say that Levy's chances of winning improved if she kept her distance? Why is she closing the gap with Bacchus? the stellar mage wondered.
They saw as Bacchus brought his right palm up front to hit Levy right on her cheek. Surprisingly, mostly to the man, the attack missed its target as Levy ducked down and took one more step forward, diminishing the gap between them to just one step.
With his right arm extended to the front, Levy found it easy to land her attack on his right bicep.
"Solid Script Magic: Shock" she said as her right hand brought the magic word to her opponent's bicep, sending an electric shock through his body.
Before he could shake out of the attack, she brought her left hand in front of her to land another attack on Bacchus. "Solid Script Magic: Burn" the word was placed on his abdomen, causing his skin to sizzle and to fume.
After the second attack, Bacchus reacted, bringing his left hand down to hit Levy on her back, but as fast as she had closed the gap between them, she moved away from him, avoiding his attack once again.
She stood up a couple of meters away, facing him with her arms up, ready to cast another spell.
Bacchus inspected his arm and abdomen, analyzing the damage dealt by her attacks. His skin stung at the touch but there wasn't much more damage to it. Still, he was impressed that she had avoided two attacks.
"That was great! How did Levy-chan do that?" Juvia asked.
Lily and Gajeel just grinned without giving her an answer.
Bacchus then dashed forward once again, now aiming to attack with his left hand. Levy reacted the same way as before, closing the gap between them.
His attack, even when aimed a little further down, missed once again. She landed hers by touching his left forearm with her right hand.
"Solid Script Magic: Ice" the attack caused his arm to go numb from the cold, but this time, the rest of his body was able to react faster.
Knowing she was going for the same strategy than before, his right hand was brought forward to hit her right on the face once she closed the gap between their bodies. It caught him by surprise when his right hand missed its target when she ducked down to her knees, and slipped right between his legs due to the inertia her body had.
She put both hands up at the same time, placing them on both of his calves "Solid Script Magic: Burn". Her attack landed perfectly and she scurried herself away from him before he fell down to his knees from the pain.
She stood up quickly, again hands up ready to keep fighting. Bacchus was down on his hands and knees, recovering from her attacks.
"Go Levy-chan!" Juvia cheered as loud as almost all Fairy Tail mages did. Levy seemed to be holding her ground against Bacchus perfectly.
"Impressive. So she is using her height to her advantage" Freed said analyzing the fight.
"How come?" Juvia asked.
"Well, it seems that Bacchus is used to fight against taller opponents. With Levy's height, it is easier for her to duck out of his attacks. Also, by closing the gap between their bodies, Bacchus' long arms don't have enough space to gain momentum to increase the power in his attacks, while Levy's short arms can deal a considerable amount of damage within that small space." Freed finished the explanation.
"Amazing! Juvia is highly impressed by Levy-chan's technique!" Juvia said in a cheerful voice.
Lily and Gajeel looked at each other and grinned. This was one of their teachings to the bookworm when they were training before the S-class exams. They taught her how to use her size to her advantage against her opponent whenever she found herself in a close range battle.
"She's doing great! Go, Levy-chan!" Lucy cheered from her spot.
"She's holding her ground pretty well, but why isn't she casting long range spells? Wouldn't it be less risky for her?" Gray asked.
"Bacchus is fast. Most likely, Levy's long range attacks would be too slow for his speed and they would miss a lot. She doesn't have the magic pool to spend in attacks that will probably miss the target. By having a close range combat, she can cast less complicated spells and have more accuracy" Erza replied.
"But she is exposing herself far too much. Bacchus probably already caught on the height difference and his attacks will be more precise" Gray argued. Bacchus started to rise up to his feet.
"Yes, I expect him to have notice the difference already too. But I believe Levy wouldn't rely entirely in her size to gain victory in this battle. She'll have more surprises up her sleeves" Erza finished and leaned closer to the railing.
"Yo!" Natsu greeted as he joined Lucy and the rest of his team along with Wendy and Carla.
"Natsu! Feeling better already? Uh? Wendy, Carla, I thought you guys were going to stay a little bit longer at the infirmary…" Lucy said as she greeted her friends.
"Some shit happened. We'll explain later. How's the battle going?" Natsu asked.
Bacchus was already on his feet, rolling his shoulders and flexing his arms and knees trying to get rid of the pain.
"Little fairy is slippery. That's good, it'll come handy tonight" Bacchus grinned at her.
Levy didn't react to his words. She was concentrating. She didn't even hear Fairy Tail's cheers.
Concentrate, focus Levy. Plan A won't work anymore, move to Plan B.
Bacchus lowered his stance. He bent down his knees a little further, so the height difference wouldn't affect his attacks anymore.
With that position, Levy knew his attacks will hit on target, she'll not be able to dodge that easily now. But with that position she knew too that he wouldn't get enough momentum for his strikes to be that powerful.
Still, remember the Chariot, he doesn't need too much momentum to pack a punch she thought.
Plan B, yes, move to Plan B.
Bacchus dashed forward again, but this time, Levy waited for him to come to her.
His right palm came forward to get a direct hit at Levy's face. With the height adjustment, there was no space to duck his attack.
"Solid Script Magic: Shield" the word appeared in front of her, hold up by both her hands. His right palm slammed at the 'ld' of the word, causing the spell to vibrate from the impact but it hold on, effectively stopping Bacchus attack.
"I got you now!" he exclaimed excitedly as he brought his left palm around the word trying to hit her on her right side. The distance between them, allowed him to move his long arm, avoiding the defensive spell, and, with both her hands holding the shield, she was wide open to his attack.
Then, another surprise came when his left palm slammed to the 'Shi' of the word.
In the moment he tried to attack her right side, Levy had broken down the word into two defensive barriers: one 'Shi' attached to her right bracer, the other one 'eld' attached to her left bracer.
This allowed her to stop both of his hands with her defensive spell, while leaving her hands free to cast another spell to the now open chest of her opponent.
By the time Bacchus caught on, he felt the blast hit him right on his torso. "Solid Script Magic: Fire" Levy said and the word flew forward to hit him directly.
Bacchus staggered backwards due to the force of the spell. This type of spells didn't needed direct contact to cause damage, but required more time to be casted and shot forward. By stopping his hands with her split up shield, Levy got the time and precision to cast 'Fire' perfectly.
"That was incredible!" Freed exclaimed as he leaned further into the railing from excitement.
"Wait, I thought that whenever her words break down, they'll lose the magic power. How did she manage to split it up into two shields?" Lily asked Freed.
"You're correct. Once the word is broken down, its magic vanishes, causing it to lose its concept and solidity" Freed stated. "But the fact that she attached them to her bracers makes it possible for both sides of the word to still be connected without touching directly. You see, she's using her body as a link for the word, so the shield will not lose its magical properties or solidity. And even more impressive is the fact that she attached them in a way that she can use them as defensive spells but granting her the opportunity to keep casting offensive spells. Really impressive I must say." he finished nodding vigorously.
"She became stronger" Mirajane said with a smile. Her eyes showed fondness and pride at the solid script mage.
Keep going, Shorty. You got this. Gajeel thought and smirked. She really was giving her all.
"This is shocking! With just a couple minutes into the battle, Bacchus seems to be in quite a predicament! Even with his overwhelming strength, Levy McGarden has found a way to avoid his attacks and connect her own against Bacchus. This is turning out to be a great fight!" the announcer's voice reverberated through the arena.
The audience started to roar. "Go Levy!" "You can do it, small one!" "Go Fairy Tail!" were some of the shouts that could be distinguished amongst the noise.
Stupid fairy Bacchus thought as he dusted off his torso from the burn he just received. He grinned at her. Well, this might get a little more fun than I thought.
"Guess I need to step up my game, ne?~" Bacchus said and grinned evilly at Levy. "Not holding back anymore, small fry" his voice was deeper with evil intent.
"Bring it then" Levy answered, unfazed by his expression.
Bacchus speed increased, his strides became longer, and he reached her position in a blink of an eye. His palms struck her 'Shield' several times, not taking a break between attacks, plummeting at the defensive spell with all his strength.
She managed to keep up with his attack, moving the 'Shield' to every direction his next attack came. With each palm strike, his attacks became stronger and faster, causing the 'Shield' to rumble more with each hit.
She held her ground during the assaults, but eventually, her 'Shield' broke down to pieces and that was all Bacchus needed.
With a fast and powerful movement, his left palm reached to the right side of her face, striking her with such might that he hurtled her to the other side of the arena, rolling head over heels, until finally stopping several meters away from him.
"Wow! What a hit! With just one palm-strike, Bacchus managed to send Levy McGarden to the other side of the arena! Can she stand up?" the announcer said.
Can I stand up? As if that attack would knock me out of the fight.
Levy was lying on the ground on her side. Bacchus' attack had been strong enough to break her 'Shield' and send her to the other side of the arena. He truly was strong, she recognized that.
She groaned and, slowly, started to pick herself up. Good thing she managed to put her right hand up with a smaller defensive spell to cover her face. Otherwise, that would have been a K.O. for sure.
Levy stood up on shaky legs and faced her opponent one more time. With the back of her right hand, she wiped away a trail of blood coming from her mouth.
It was frustrating. She had landed six perfectly strong attacks on him right on target and he had just landed one on her side, with a defense spell between her body and his palm, but he still looked like he was intact while she had a little bit of trouble to stand up straight.
Damn it, Plan B won't work anymore.
"It seems like she can keep up fighting! The battle's still going!" the judge exclaimed excitedly.
When he saw the palm-strike connected, Gajeel uncrossed his arms and rested them on his sides, ready to move out if it was necessary. He didn't notice it, but his expression also changed from his usual scowl to one of worry.
She was lying on the ground on her side. And for a moment, he tried to concentrate harder to pick up the sound of her heartbeat or breathing. When he heard her groan, Gajeel's shoulders relaxed a little bit and he let go of a breath he didn't knew he was holding in.
She's fine, she's fine.
Then, he tensed once again when a smell hit his nostrils. A scent that had haunted him for several nights and he wouldn't be able to forget it for the rest of his life. He smelled her blood.
She was bleeding. It meant that Bacchus hit her harder than he initially thought.
Shit.
And here he was, unable to do anything.
Levy picked herself up, legs shaking from the effort but still standing strong. She wasn't going down that easily. A part of him was proud of her. Another part of him was terrified at the idea. It meant that she would get hurt worst before the battle ended.
And he could do nothing to stop that from happening.
He heard Juvia taking a step closer to him. Delicate fingers barely grazed his forearm in a reassuring way. "Levy-chan will be fine" Juvia's voice was barely above a whisper, but she knew Gajeel could hear her loud and clear.
She knew he was scared; she was that close of a friend to him to know what his body language told. It was good to have her beside him and her words seemed to calm him down even a little bit.
Yeah, she's fine. She'll be fine.
"It seems like she can keep up fighting! The battle's still going!" the judge exclaimed excitedly.
"Ha! Wanna keep fighting? I got to give it to you little fairy, you got spirit~" Bacchus said in a mocking way.
She wasn't going to give up. Not while her body could still move. Plan B failed; she hadn't considered him to be this strong.
Doesn't matter. Recalculate and let's move to Plan C.
"You know, just stay down and the battle will be over. I know I'm a bastard but ain't the type that enjoys beating the crap out of small women" Bacchus said and smirked sickly. His expression gave Levy the impression that he wanted her to read between the lines of what he just said, as if there was an inside joke that only the two of them could understand.
What did he…? She was confused by his words.
Then, he tilted his head to the right and looked up and his smirk widened, looking crazier than before. Levy followed his gaze and then noticed what he meant with his words. Her eyes widened as realization hit her.
She told herself to not let him get into her head, but the meaning of these words made her stomach to turn around and a blazing fire to ignite deep inside her gut, causing her temperature to rise from anger.
How dared he!
She looked back at Bacchus, fury visible in her eyes and she tightened her fists.
You're going down, prick.
Gajeel knew what he meant even before Bacchus tilted his head to look straight at him. It made him tensed up one more time. Hairs in his nape bristled and he snarled, showing his sharp canines.
He knew this was a battle and that Bacchus was trying to get into Levy's head, but to use such a dirty trick? To use him to make her lose her focus? Gajeel knew that if he was in Levy's place, it would have been very effective to get into his nerves.
Hell, he even still had nightmares about that night, the night he attacked her and the rest of Shadow Gear. He knew she had forgiven him, as did Jet and Droy, but it was still a very sensitive memory that got everyone in Fairy Tail on edge.
After he showed his loyalty to Fairy Tail, no one dared to mention his time in Phantom Lord; they decided to leave the past in the past and Gajeel couldn't be more grateful about it. To get a clean start at Fairy Tail was everything he had dreamed of, not that he would ever say that out loud. He had repented for his mistakes, and made up for them with the people he had hurt.
And now, this bastard brought that up to mess with Shrimp's mind. It pained him to be reminded of the worst memory of his life, but it hurted him more that Bacchus dared to use that against Levy.
The tension around Gajeel was almost palpable and Juvia took one more step closer to him to rest her hand completely on his forearm to try to calm him down.
Bacchus never broke eye contact with him, and neither did Gajeel. The iron dragon slayer was one second away from jumping into the arena and beat the crap out of that bastard.
Suddenly, a noise dragged him out of his murderous ideas.
"Solid Script Magic: Lightning!"
Bacchus barely managed to look back at Levy after hearing her casting a spell. The 'Lighting' hit him full force and made him recoil in pain.
When the electric shock subsided, he was still standing and opened his eyes to see the script mage running at full speed at him. He tried to dash forward to attack her but found his legs rooted into place and his arms tied up to either side of him. He never noticed that during the 'Lightning' spell, she casted 'Bind' to make it impossible for him to move.
With one last long stride, Levy leaped forward high enough so her hand, raised up in front of her, could reach Bacchus' chest. With a battle cry, she casted her spell as powerfully as she could.
"Solid Script Magic: Crash!"
When her palm made contact with his chest, a massive magic shockwave was felt in the entire arena. The spell sent Bacchus flying backwards like a rag doll at an amazing speed until he hit one of the surrounding walls, creating a massive crater in it and burying said mage below the falling debris of the wall.
Levy stood there in the middle of the arena, hand still raised in front of her. She was breathing heavily but at least Plan C seemed to have work somehow.
(A/N Get it? Because Plan C was to use 'Crash'. Hehe I'm so clever)
Gajeel stared in shock at the fighting pit. He felt the power in her last spell and knew it must have hurt Bacchus like a bitch. Good, he deserved that. The tension he felt just moments ago vanished, his shoulders relaxing a bit and his fists loosening.
"Was that-?" Mirajane stared down at the arena with wide eyes.
"Gildartz's spell" Freed finished.
"Wait, how was Levy-chan able to do that?" Juvia voiced the question everyone had on their minds.
Gajeel turned to look at Freed as the latter explained what just happened.
"You see, solid script magic can cast almost any existing type of magic, but there are certain requirements for that. First, the mage needs to have a deep understanding of the magic they are about to cast; second, they must have enough magic energy to cast the spell; and third, their body must be able to sustain the strain that the spell will put them through. If the solid script mage fulfills these three requirements, they can cast that type of magic" Freed explained.
"So that's how she managed to cast Gildatz's spell…" Laxus said, getting more interested in the fight now.
(A/N I don't think Laxus is an asshole that doesn't care about the rest of the guild. He is kind of cool and cares for everyone else, but he doesn't talk that much and that annoys me a little bit because I don't know what I can do to make him interact with the rest of Fairy Tail)
"Not quite" Freed corrected.
"Huh?"
"Look at her hand" Freed said and everyone leaned further into the railing to have a better view of the solid script mage.
Levy's hand was dripping blood, creating a small blood pond on the ground.
Freed continued with his explanation "While Levy had a perfect understanding of 'Crash' and enough magic energy to cast it, her body was not able to sustain the strain from the spell. That means that her attack wasn't as strong as she intended it to be and thus, it didn't get the expected results" Freed's voice was somber.
Shit, Shrimp. Don't do something reckless.
"So that's why she was talking so intently to Pops at Tenrou Island, you know, before all the Acnologia's fiasco" Cana said in understanding.
Makarov and Mavis had given to the Fairy Tail mages in the audience the same explanation Freed gave about solid script magic.
"But still, she got hurt by using that… Was it smart to use 'Crash'?" Droy asked worriedly, looking at Levy's injured hand.
"I don't think she should be using it, no. Gildartz's body is built to use that kind of spells and Levy is not even close to having the physical ability to handle them" Makarov said in concern. "She probably used it trying to do as much damage as she could to Bacchus in one hit but it backfired on her."
"Don't worry. I know she'll pull through. She seems to be a smart girl and wouldn't bet all her money on her physical prowess" Mavis said and everyone agreed.
They resumed their cheering and their 'Go, Levy' chants.
Levy took off her headband and draped it around her right hand. It hurt a lot, but it seemed that her hand wasn't broken. At least the headband will stop the bleeding.
She hadn't thought it through before casting the spell. She had planned to use it beforehand, that was part of Plan C, but she was supposed to restrain the magic power infused into it so her physical limitations wouldn't be a problem.
But Bacchus' words affected her thinking and she poured out a great amount of magic energy to hurt her foe. How dared he mention that? And he even looked up at Gajeel and smirked. Smirked! He had no right to talk about him like that, as if he knew him. He did as many did, judged Gajeel based on something he did in his past, and became oblivious to the efforts the man had done to repent for his sins.
That infuriated her. It wasn't just because it was Gajeel or because of their history, it was because he was nakama. And anyone that dared to say something against Levy's nakama would be answering to her.
She saw as the debris from the wall started to shift and the dust raised by the impact started to settle down. Bacchus stood up not long after that, walking back to the center of the arena.
She managed to hurt him at least a little bit. He had some trouble walking straight and his face showed that at least some parts of his body were in pain.
Good
"Ugh! That hurt like a train…" Bacchus said, holding his hand over the spot on his chest where 'Crash' had landed, trying to ease the pain.
He now was at a fair distance to hear her words.
"Your fight is with me" Levy's voice was steady and her gaze was strong as steel. "I don't care what you say about me or if you talk trash about my abilities… But if you dare to go against my nakama, I'll have no mercy on you" her voice showed the seriousness in her threat.
Bacchus was taken aback by her words and the strength in her gaze. He recovered after a second, showing an unamused expression "Little fairy has some bite in her bark… Good, my soul is shaking!"
"That's right, Levy! Show him not to mess with Fairy Tail!" Gajeel heard Natsu's shout after Levy's words.
Of course the flamebrain got excited by another speech about bonds between the guild.
Gajeel couldn't help but smile at her threatening Bacchus. Sure, she looked cute when angry and Gajeel mentally wrote down a reminder to tease her more to see that side of her more often.
But the reason he felt something warm within his chest was the fact that she got all worked up not because Bacchus' words reminded her of one of her most terrifying nights, but because his words were aimed to hurt Gajeel and she wouldn't allow that.
She threatened Bacchus with such fierceness in her voice that there was no doubt that she'll keep her word. She intended to protect her nakama.
She had protected him, in her own way: from words that could shatter his soul.
"The fight's just getting hotter! Who's going to win this match?!" the announcer said in excitement.
Levy tightened her fists and winced as pain travelled from her right hand.
Crap. There goes Plan C. Recalculate and move to Plan D.
She grinned.
First, I need to use Gajeel's technique.
"What if I win?" Levy said, smiling tauntingly at Bacchus.
"Huh?"
"The wager… what if I win?" she looked confident and a little bit cocky.
"That ain't happening sweetheart… fine, say whatever you want" Bacchus said and tilted his head in amusement.
"If I win…" she said. Oh, the guys are gonna love this. "... the name of your guild will be Quatro Puppy for the rest of the games" Levy pointed her index finger at Bacchus with an amused and challenging expression.
"Pup…" Bacchus almost burst out laughing out loud. Levy caught his team wailing 'What!?' clearly in disagreement with the bet. "Ok, ok! It's decided, then!" Bacchus said as he reached down for his gourd. "Well, then… Let's put an end to things, then…" he drank the contents of the gourd.
His face flushed from the alcohol he ingested and Levy felt a sudden increase in his magic aura.
Guess it worked. Got to compliment Gajeel about the effectiveness of his technique, or as I like to call it, 'Taunt the shit out of your opponent'.
"He drank alcohol!" Gray stared in shock.
"Here it comes, Levy." Erza tensed up as she felt the magic energy increasing in Bacchus' body.
"He's serious…" Lucy said in worry.
"Don't worry. She knows what she's doing." Natsu said with confidence.
Bacchus raised his hand at Levy, four fingers up "After four of my attacks, victory will be mine" he said and laughed.
Levy brought her hands forward defensively.
This is it. Can't screw up now. Recalculate, adjust and execute Plan D.
"Let's see you trying" she taunted him.
In an instant, Bacchus dashed forward at an amazing speed. Levy barely started to cast 'Shield' when his hit reached her. His palm aimed for her chest, but she crossed her arms defensively in front of her, intercepting the attack with her forearms.
"One" she barely heard his voice.
The power infused into the attack was so massive that Levy was pushed backwards several meters and the air in her lungs was forced out. Her feet dug into the ground and drew two deep lines in the soil in an effort to stop her movement. She remained standing once she managed to stop.
Taking a deep breath, she raised her head to see where Bacchus was. She heard Gajeel's deep voice "To your right!" and she turned in time to see Bacchus' palm just a second before it connected with her face. This time, she didn't get the chance to raise her arms defensively.
"Two" his voice sounded amused.
She was sent flying to the other side of the arena, rolling on her side. The power of his attack was impressive enough that it was a miracle that Levy's neck didn't break from the impact. She dug her fingers on the ground and managed to stop her movement. She placed her feet on the ground, in a crouched down position, while she recovered from the attack.
"Levy!" she heard Jet and Droy's warning shouts and saw as Bacchus once again dashed to her position in an instant. He went down further to the ground, knees almost touching the dirt. He was aiming for her abdomen.
Levy put her 'Shield' up this time and crossed her arms in front of her to create a second defense against his attack. Her efforts didn't matter. In an instant, the 'Shield' broke down to pieces and Bacchus' palm pushed her arms into her abdomen. The power infused in this attack was such that she felt as if his palm had dig a hole where her stomach used to be and as if her organs were coming out from her body through her back.
With his palm still in her abdomen, Bacchus raised his stance, bringing Levy's body with him and throwing her like a rag doll behind him. She flew up into the air and then collapsed away from her foe, creating a small dent on the ground from the impact.
"Three"
She laid down on the ground, holding her abdomen with one hand, while coughing out blood and saliva. She tried to breathe in, but her lungs felt as if they had been crushed by the rest of her organs that had been pushed upwards.
She finally recovered her breath and brought herself up to her hands and knees, making an effort to stand up once again. She was on one knee when he heard his voice once again and looked up.
"And for the grand finale…" she saw as he jumped high in the air, spinning head over heels to increase his body's momentum and thus his attack's power. He started to come down, aiming right to her.
Crap.
Her body wouldn't move even an inch. The three previous attacks had taken their toll in her body and now it wasn't responding as she wanted it to.
"Levy!" "Get away!" "Move!" "Come on, Levy-chan!" she heard the shouts from all her friends from Fairy Tail but still her body didn't move. She brought her hands up to prepare for the attack.
"Move, you idiot!" she heard Gajeel's rough voice, filled with worry and some crazy part inside her smiled.
I'll make you proud, Gajeel.
"Four!" Bacchus' voice reverberated with battle lust and just a second after, his attack landed.
Nobody saw her grinning.
Sorry for the small cliffhanger. This is far from over! At least, I'm missing 3 more chapters before this ends. And it will just get more epic. Please leave a review, click follow or favorite so you won't miss any update. I don't think I'll be able to post the next chapter tomorrow because of work, but as soon as I can I'll upload it.
Again, big shouts out to kurisu313 for the idea on Levy's fighting style. The use of 'Crash' is something I saw in his story so I shamefully copied that into my story (I'm embarrassed to admit it) That's why I give all the credit for that idea to kurisu313. Thanks!
