Alright guys. Here ya go! Sorry this took forever and even sorry-er if it sucks :/… Hope you enjoy though!

Bixlow was snoring loudly alongside an even louder Laxus and a quiet Freed. They'd been traveling on foot all day to a very small town, named Leafville, to rid it of a supposedly strong bandit. Evergreen wasn't with them as she was off with Elfman, doing Mavis knows what.

At early dawn Bixlow and Laxus were woken by the smell of a campfire breakfast, courtesy of Freed. After eating, they set off to find the town leader, .

When they came to the entrance of the town hall all three men realized just how run down the whole place was. They hadn't even seen a single person in a house of on the street as they passed.

"This bandit must be pretty serious…" Laxus and Freed grunted in agreement to Bixlow's muttered statement.

Inside, they were greeted by an old woman. "Ah, the Fairy Tale mages! He will be right with you, just go on into that room there." She ushered them into the aforementioned room quickly then shut the door and scurried off.

"Something is definitely fishy here…" Laxus and Bixlow looked to Freed questioningly. "Well how did she know we're from Fairy Tale? Your marks aren't visible and I was sure to keep mine covered. How would she also know exactly who we were here to see?" After hearing Freed's explanation they both nodded in agreement.

"Ah, thank you for showing up. See, we do seem to have a problem…with you!" As soon as the portly man walked in the room, Laxus and Bixlow, who were leaning against a wall, were then shackled to it. Freed then took a defensive pose and waited for him to reveal his magic.

"Haha, I was told you might be a little tricky to take care of." The man then made a grand circular motion with his arms then pointed at Freed and roped shot at him from thin air. He dropped to the floor where he was then shackled as well.

"Curses!"

"Haha!"

Then the old woman came in and started spinning quickly to make a tornado shape, when she stopped she revealed herself to actually be a tall, muscular guy with white spiky hair and one eye missing.

"Oi- You're that escaped take over mage! Uh… Y-Yu something."

The guy smiled. "Yugi. Yes."

"So what do you want with us?" Bixlow demanded.

"Someone apparently wants you taken care of, or at least delayed so they can take care of your little girlfriends." The short chubby man smiled as he spoke.

All three trapped mages gasped collectively then fixed them with hardened glares.

"Who?"

"I don't see why I should tell you. Then again, maybe it will even make it worse for you… hmmm…"

As he was still talking and not paying close attention Freed's shackles broke and he quickly jumped up and swung his sword. Only to be met with Yugi to punch him in the side, causing him to be flung into a wall.

"Alright Bixlow, enough standing around. I don't think we're going to get anymore information." Bixlow nodded and then they both broke free of the now rusty shackles, thanks to Freed's runes he set.

Their captor's eyes widened in surprise as this happened. Freed picked himself up off the floor and they all stood together, thinking of a plan. The short man turned to the tall take over mage. "I think you've got this, I'm just gonna go now…" As he tried to escape, Freed's preset runes stopped him.

"You can't leave until us three are defeated. Nice try." Freed smirked.

"Oh boy. A challenge." Yugi smiled while the started sweating.

While this exchange was going on, Bixlow had his two of his babies move quietly and slowly to the far end of the room, behind the two hired mages. As Laxus and Freed were about to charge, he had his precious totems knock them in the back of the head. While they were turned around Laxus and Freed took advantage of their distraction.

"Lightning dragons roar!"

As Yugi was getting pushed against the edge of Freed's wall of runes, Freed transformed with his Dark Ericture and quickly knocks out .

All three waited patiently as Yugi stood and started laughing.

"Well, that may have wrinkled my shirt." As he spoke he charged and did a take-over and turned into a very big muscled man and punched Bixlow into Freed, causing them to fall to the floor.

Laxus smirked. "Finally, someone to let my anger out on."

While his esteemed leader and Yugi held a short exchange, Freed wrote a new set of rules so that their ring to fight in was smaller. Laxus lunged and swung, but missed until Bixlow's babies went around behind him and knocked him into the invisible wall of Freed's runes.

A short while later, right before Bixlow delivered the final blow, Yugi laughed.

"What's so funny?"

"You may have beaten me, but I was only a distraction."

The trio looked to each other then at him.

"Explain!"

"Don't you all have a couple of little girlies or something? You guys sure they're alright?" Yugi gave a cheeky grin as he was dropped to the ground and thusly knocked out.

The three friends looked to each other then all started sprinting back to the train station.

"Wait! We'll get there faster if I transport us, everyone grab on!"

And with that all three mages were transported to the outside of the guild. They immediately pushed open the doors, not noticing their outside surroundings and definitely not liking what they saw inside.

Hope you guys liked it alright! I'll try to update sooner and get some more new stuff up. Any suggestions on anything PM me /

Mwah~
