"Gray I'm starting to worry."
The raven hair boy raised a brow and peered down to the pinkette who was busy reading through the content of a binder.
"About what?" The man asked taking a seat on the young master's desk while fiddling with papers in his hand. "I'm surprised your even worried to begin with. It's unusual of you."
"Remember that girl I told you about?" Was the only thing Natsu said before getting up and walking to a map posted on his office wall.
"Oh yeah, the girl that got you whipped." Gray mumbled pausing from his work. "You want me to set up some sort of security for the misses?"
"Yeah and set some up for other members who got loved ones. We don't need those bastards getting at us with cheap shots."
"Alright, I'll go do that then." Gray collected all his papers and left the room in a haste.
The pinkette ran a hand through his hair and sighed heavily settling back down in his chair. The arising situation with their biggest rivals has escalated beyond proportions. Their rival had already found out of the two man squads set up around their guild building, and took them out with ease. All of Sabertooth's goons took it upon themselves to knock every Dragon Lord member off the streets with force. They started to push onto territory that wasn't theirs yet they claimed it for themselves. All of this happened overnight on the Dragon Lord's young master's watch. But he was too occupied with his time on a particular blonde college student who he found to be captivated by more than he ever was with any other woman.
He gazed down at his desk with paper reports of injured members, that keep increasing, and damages they have to pay because of Sabertooth. His eyes lingered on a frame that stood proudly on his plain desk.
The frame contained a picture from one of Natsu's games he plays on Lucy. He remembered that day clearly. They went for a walk during the blonde's lunch break by her school. While they joked and talked, the pinkette slipped his hand into her purse and took her cellphone. He grabbed the blonde by the shoulders and started to take pictures much to the girls dislike. It was only in the last few pictures that the girl smiled truly into the camera. He took it upon himself to print a photo out and frame it. The smile on her face was the only thing motivating him when he sat at his desk without her company.
The ring from his office phone brought him out of his daze. He stared at it for a moment before answering it.
"Hello?" Natsu answered annoyed turning in his chair to face the window.
"Don't I feel so lucky for you to answer the phone oh powerful Dragon Lord master." A cocky nonchalant voice answered back mockingly. "I'm quivering in my boots."
He heard a couple of chuckling in the background. The sound started to anger the pinkette.
"Who the hell is this?" He growled into the phone.
"Who do you think?" The voice said back. "We're the only people actually beating your ass since eight years ago if I'm correct."
"Gimme a name so I have a head to knock off." Natsu demanded seething with anger.
"The names Sting Eucliffe but I think you know it all too well. That friend of yours should know my name better though." The caller said with a chuckle.
Flashbacks of his wounded friend slash comrade flashed in his mind. 'So he's the one.' He instantly thought.
"Anyways, I wanted to inform you that we have yet to show you the true power of Sabertooth. And I suggest you surrender to us now or we will use force to bring you all to your knees." The man known as Sting stated before chuckling. "Better make up your mind fast, the clocks ticking before our next plan goes into motion. And I know you won't like what happens next."
The line went dead after Sting had finished his threat. Natsu glared at the phone in his hands and threw the phone along with the reciver off his desk in a fit of anger. He walked straight for the door and slammed it wide open.
"Gray. Gajeel. Meeting now!" The pinkette roared out the door.
