I'M BACK, B*TCHES! And hopefully to stay. Damned Summer classes for School. Damned summer gym. Damned Summer reading. I hope to update more often: I have the entire Laxus Arc planned. Also, this isn't my best work. I kinda backed myself into a corner and.. just read i. I promise the next chapter will be better and less delayed! Alright! LETSA GOOOOOOOO! EDIT: After a few complaints with this less than par chapter, I decided to try-key word try- to fix it. Hope I fixed it!
Jet and Droy were very scared. Their new friend was currently bleeding-her hair was now a dark purple color-and Mirajane had picked this one day to take a vacation. The rest of the guild was frantic, rushing around, looking for supplies, begging any deity they knew to save this poor girl. While they rushed and screamed and yelled and panicked, sounds one would usually hear coming from a Michael Bay Movie were resounding from outside.
…
Gajeel was too tired to fight. He had taken one…two…make that three Lightning Dragon Roars to the face. His Iron Scales did nothing but amplify the power, leaving him wide open. Laxus, on the other hand, was toying with his prey, jabbing at him with little bursts of power. But what could save Gajeel? He was being thrown around like a rag doll.
…
When Levy was in a stable condition, the guild turned to the windows, watching the fight outside unfold. Gajeel was still having his ass handed to him. With each blow he took, a colorful phrase or two spewed from his mouth, making a visiting sailor blush madly. The two fighters didn't notice the small figure approaching, but the guild did. They went wide eye and quickly ran away, as not to be caught in the incoming rage.
…
One good beat down and a half later, Laxus limped home, covered in bruises, cursing his grandfather while Gajeel was lain next to Levy, the two being treated with the best medicine that the guild could give. But one happy blue cat wondered, "Will the parade continue?"
This thought was followed by Macao, who asked," And what about the modeling contest?"
...
Levy and Gajeel had been badly injured thanks to Laxus. Levy was to hurt and tired to feel any emotion other than pain. Gajeel, on the other hand, felt nothing but rage.
"I could have beat down that bastard!" he fumed,"If only iron wasn't so conductive..."
Levy thought back on what she had heard. Gajeel and her, friends? Surely she had heard wrong! After pondering for some time, she asked Gajeel about it. Instead of receiving a "no" like expected, she heard Gajeel say, muffled through the bandages and followed by a blush, a short simple "yep." Levy was over joyed at having a friend but Gajeel wished not only for friendship with the Shrimp. Something inside him just said that she had to be his. And no one BUT his.
…
"Let the Miss Fairy Tail Contest…BEGIN!"
Gajeel sat in the back, watching girls show their stuff. Poor Juvia, she would be so mad she missed this. Levy would just have to fill in, I guess the dragon thought happily.
Girls went up one by one. First Demonmaid, then Booschick, followed by Titania, Blondy, and that chick with the guns. Levy would be next. He and the rest of the crowd waited for her. But she didn't come out. Gajeel stood-sorta- and wobbled back stage to find…
"HOLY DRAGON SH*T! THEY'RE STONED!" he cried,"THEY'RE COMPLETELY MADE OF ROCKS!"
The guild turned to a certain table in the back. It had the Thunder Guards in its chairs, aka Laxus, Freed-his biggest fanboy-Bixlow, and...wait, where was Evergreen? Laxus stood upon his table, and, with his newfound attention, called to the guild.
"Fairy Tail!" he yelled,"if you wish for your friends back, there is one simple thing that you must do. Surrender the guild, or defeat me! But all games have a few rules. 1. You have three hours to surrender, because no one here could ever beat me. 2. You may not leave Mangolia. you do not surrender within the three hours, I will be forced to destroy Fairy Tail and its city. Choose wisely and may the odds be ever in your favor! TTFN!"
And with that, the S-Class mage left, Freed casting spells in their wake. The Guild shared one thought: Free our Friends. Gajeel thought otherwise: Kill Laxus.
