Chapter 11: Realization
In the dungeon of the castle, Lahar is transporting Gajeel to his doom.
"Let's get this over with, Metalicana." Lahar sighs.
"Where are we going?" Gajeel asks. Lahar nods his head towards the window. Gajeel sees a stage with a noose in the middle (A/N: I forgot what it was called... -_-).
"Oh." He gulps.
In Levy's room, Minerva is taking the flowers out of her hair, from the previous night.
"There." she says after taking out the last flower, "It never happened. Now, wash up for dinner. I'm making hazelnut soup." She continues walking out of her room, but notices Levy's head hanging low in guilt.
"Huh. I really did try, Levy. I tried to warn you what was out there. The world is dark and selfish and cruel. If it finds even the slightest ray of sunshine, it destroys it." she explains before heading to the kitchen, leaving Levy alone.
She pulls out the banner with the sun on it. She lies down on her bed and notices something interesting: there are suns all over her room. She thinks back to the royal mural in Magnolia and the crown she put on her head, realizing that SHE'S THE LOST PRINCESS!
She gasps and bumps into her dresser in shock.
While walking to his doom, he notices the Twin Dragons in a cell. He knocks down the two guards beside him and grabs Sting.
"How did you know about her? TELL ME NOW!" he commands with a dark scowl.
"It wasn't us. It was the old lady." Sting replies.
"Old lady?" Gajeel questions to himself before realizing it was Minerva. The guards start to pull him to his doom, while he is screaming,
"YOU SON OF A BITCH! YOU FUCKING DON'T UNDERSTAND, SHE'S IN GOD DAMN TROUBLE! WAIT!"
"Levy?" Minerva asks, climbing the stairs.
"Levy, what's going on up there?" she asks further, causing said girl to gasp in horror.
Before Minerva can go any further, Levy walks to the entrance way muttering,
"I'm the lost princess." Minerva rolls her eyes.
"Oh, please speak up, Levy. You know how much I hate the mumbling." she says.
"I am the lost princess! Aren't I?" Levy says louder, while scowling at Minerva.
"Did I mumble, sister? Or should I even call you that?" she asks further.
Minerva is momentarily shocked before keeping her cool and saying, "Oh, Levy, did you even hear yourself? Why would you ask such a ridiculous question?"
Levy is not buying it though.
"It was YOU! It was all you!" She practically screamed.
"Everything I did was to protect... you." Minerva reasoned before Levy pushed her away.
"Levy!"
"I've spent my entire life hiding from people who would use me for my power..." said girl explained ignoring Minerva completely.
"Levy!"
"... but I should have been hiding... from you!" Levy continues glaring at Minerva.
"Where will you go?" Minerva asks cooly. "He won't be there for you."
"What did you do to him?" she asks with concern in her voice.
"That criminal is to be hanged for his crimes." the evil woman answers with an evil smile.
"No!" Levy gasps.
"There, there. It's alright. Listen to me. Everything is as it should be." Minerva explains while attempting to pat her hair, but isn't able to when Levy pushes her hand away.
"No! You were wrong about the world. And you were wrong about me. And I will NEVER let you use my hair again!" she says with pure venom in her voice.
Minerva growls before throwing a hairbrush at the mirror, successfully crashing it. While she is panting and glaring daggers at her, Levy is backing away with fear in her eyes.
"You want me to be the bad guy? Fine. Now I'm the bad guy..." she says with venom in her voice, walking slowly towards the defenseless girl.
While Gajeel is struggling against the guards, he notices a ceramic unicorn on one of the inner windows.
No. It can't be! Can it? he thinks to himself.
All four men are near the exit, when all doors in the hallway shut.
"What the-? Open up!" Lahar screams banging on the door in front of him. The wooden window opens revealing Makarov.
"What's the password?" he asks drunkenly.
"What?" Lahar asks confused.
"Nope." he answers laughing.
"Open this door!" Lahar commands.
"That's not even close!" Makarov says, causing Lahar to growl in anger.
"You have three seconds to open this door!" Lahar warns before counting.
"One!" The guard on Gajeel's right is sent up to the ceiling with a hand.
"Two..." The guard on Gajeel's left is whisked away through one of the doors.
"Three..." Lahar turns around to see Gajeel alone, who shrugs, and gasps, while the door opens revealing Cana, with a sinister look on her face, walking behind him with a frying pan in hand, and-
WAM!
Knocks him out, causing the prisoner to chuckle.
"Frying pans! Who knew, right?" he asks. They hear banging coming behind them. They look back to see more guards coming through the broken door, chasing after them. The guards run into Warren, who works his "miming magic" on them, misleading them. He points a certain direction and when the guards turned, they see Elfman rushing towards them, causing them to scream like girls.
Meanwhile, Gajeel, Laxus, and Cana run to the courtyard, where they see more guards rushing at them. Laxus puts Gajeel on a tilted wheelbarrel-like thing and instructs him,
"Head down."
"Head down."
"Arms in."
"Arms in."
"Knees apart."
"Knees apart. Knees apart?" Gajeel wonders aloud. Elfman jumps into the air and lands on the other end of the wheelbarrel-like thing while Gajeel asks,
"Why the hell do I need to keep my fucking knees apart-" he is sent flying through the air, confusing the guards in the courtyard. He lands perfectly on Pantherlily's saddle.
"Oh, that's why. Lily? You brought them here." Gajeel asks. Said horse neighs in confirmation.
"Thanks." He smiles genuinely. Lily nods and motions to go.
"Yeah. Let's get the fuck out of here and get my Levy back." Gajeel agrees, while Lily gives him a smirk.
"SHUT UP, YOU GOD DAMNED HORSE!" He shouts, ignoring the horses laughter. Lily starts to run on the walls, when they both notice guards on their right and flank. Lily looks ahead and notices an escape route: roof jumping. Gajeel notices this too. He gives a mental sigh.
Might as well get this over with.
Lily takes the leap and safely go from roof to roof down to the ground.
"Gihi, alright let's see how fast you can run." Gajeel says to Lily. Lily neighs and runs towards the tower. They make it in ten minutes (a new record for Lily), where Gajeel gets off the horse and screams,
"Levy? Levy, let down your hair!" When he doesn't receive an answer, he starts to climb the tower. Suddenly, Levy's hair falls toward him. He starts to climb it, making it towards the window.
"Levy, I thought I'd never see you again! Huh?" He says as he climbs through the window, but looks up to see Levy tied up and gagged.
Gajeel! Minerva's behind you! Levy tries to warn him, but it came out muffled. She watches as he gets stabbed in the back by Minerva. Said woman smirks with a scoff, while Gajeel is writhing in pain on the floor.
GAJEEL! NO! Levy screams mentally.
"Now look what you've done, Levy." Minerva says sarcastically, while walking towards her.
No! she screamed/muffled.
"Oh, don't worry, dear. Our secret will die with him." Minerva explains coldly.
Gajeel! Help! Levy screams/muffles.
"And as for us, hmm! We are going where no one would ever find you again!" Minerva scoffs evilly. Erza is watching this from the shadows and rushes towards the witch, biting her dress, but she is shaken off of.
"Levy, really! Enough already! Stop fighting me!" She commands while dragging her towards the secret entrance. Levy manages to get the gag off before saying,
"NO! I won't stop. For every minute of the rest of my life I will fight! I will never stop trying to get away from you!" she pauses, catching her breath, "But, if you let me save him, I will go with you."
"No! No, Levy!" Gajeel argues weakly, due to his injury. Erza looks up weakly, while she continues,
"I will never run, I will never try to escape. Just let me heal him, and you and I will be together. Forever, just like you wanted. Will be the way it was. I promise." Erza gives a confused look.
"Just like you wanted." Levy repeats, catching her breath. "Just let me heal him."
Minerva gives her a hard glare before agreeing, chaining Gajeel to a post.
"In case you get ANY ideas about following us." she says coldly, leaving him to Levy, who rushes to his side.
"Ga-Gajeel!" she says in worry, caressing his face, pulls his hand away to look at his wound, while he coughs and wrenches from the pain.
"Oh, I'm so sorry. Everything is going to be okay-" she apologizes, grabbing some of her hair to put around the wound.
"No, Levy-" he interrupts while pushing her hand away.
"I promise you. You have to trust me-" she says reassuringly.
"No-" he rejects.
"Come on. Just breathe-" she instructs.
"I can't let you do this." he admits.
"But I can't let you die." she says with tears in her eyes.
"*cough* But if you do this,..."
"Shh, shh, shh..." she puts her hand on the side of his face.
"... then you..."
"... shh, shh..."
"... will die."
"Hey. It's gonna be alright." she says with a smile, making him smile as well.
Just as she is about to sing the incantation,
"Levy, wait..." Gajeel says while putting his hand behind her head, leaning in for a kiss, when he cuts her hair clean off, with the knife that Minerva dropped, shocking both women.
"Gajeel, (what...?)" she begins to ask as her hair starts to turn sky blue, while Minerva tries to wrap herself with the remaining golden hair.
"No, no, no..." she panics when she sees her hand start to age. "no! What have you done?" she screams as her hair starts to turn white. Erza took the chance to pull a length of hair, tripping on it and falls out of the tower, while crumbling to dust, leaving nothing but a cloak.
After Levy watches this unfold, she turns to Gajeel and gasps.
"No, no, no, no, no, Gajeel." she pulls his head onto her lap and tries to keep him awake. He coughs in response.
"Oh. Look at me, look at me, I'm right here, don't go, stay with me, Gajeel." she says drastically before putting his hand on top of her shoulder-length hair, and starts singing the incantation quickly.
"Flower gleam and glow, let your power shine, make the clock reverse, bring back what once was mine-"
"-Levy." Gajeel interrupts.
"What?" she asks.
"You were my new dream." he whispers.
"And you were mine." she sobs, watching him take his last breath. Tears start to well up in her eyes, while Erza hangs her head in sorrow. Bringing his face toward hers, she softly sings,
"Heal what has been hurt. Change the fate's design. Save what has been lost. Bring back what once was mine. What once was mine." She finishes while sobbing. A tear falls on Gajeel's cheek, absorbs through his skin, and the last bit of magic, revives him witha glow of gold, shocking Levy and Erza.
"Levy." Gajeel whispers.
"Gajeel." Levy gasps. While the sun is coming out,
"Did I ever tell you I got a thing for bluenettes?" Gajeel asks smirking.
"Gajeel!" Levy blushes while practically tackling him. Gajeel chuckles while embracing her. She pulls away giggling before pulling him in for a kiss, shocking him momentarily, before giving her an EXTREMELY passionate kiss, leaving her in a daze. Erza, who was watching this, is passed out on the floor for have witnessing the kiss.
