"How do you think it's going with Ace and master?" Wendy sat with Natsu and Happy.
"I don't know, but even if he doesn't get into guild I still want to fight him!" Natsu grinned.
"Why do you want to fight this guy so bad?" Happy asked.
"He seems strong, plus I've been dying to fight someone new" Natsu leaned back in his chair before frowning slightly.
"What's wrong Natsu?"
"Gajeel, I haven't seen him at all today."
"Pantherlily seems to of disappeared a little while ago…" Carla stood on Wendy's shoulder. Wendy perked up a little,
"I heard some of the town's people talking about two mages fighting in the middle of town; one of them had put up some kind of magical barrier. Do you guys think it could be Gajeel and Pantherlily sparing or something?"
"Why would Gajeel be sparing with his, and I quote his words, precious little kitty cat?"
"Only one way to find out!" Happy smiled and jumped onto Natsu's shoulder.
"But we were going to wait for Ace" Wendy pointed out.
"Good point, how about you and I go and Carla and Happy can stay."
Pantherlily ran at Calypto with his sword drawn, Calypto allowed him to get closer. Besides Calypto's new devilish appearance, she had gained a sword that hung around her waist. When she drew the blade it glowed slivery-white. It was a long blade with a silver dragon like handle, where the blade stuck from the handle the dragon had its mouth open.
Pantherlily and Calypto's swords struck, Calypto quickly swung her blade at his arm and this time she cut his upper arm. Pantherlily took a couple steps away from her, holding his bleeding arm. He quickly regained her battle stance and once again jumped at Calypto, who this time stumbled back with blood seeping out of the fresh cut on her side. Calypto, who had grown impatient spoke up, "This battle is going now where. How about you stop holding back and fight me for real now!"
Gajeel, feeling a little left out form all the action, didn't let Pantherlily answer; he went running towards Calypto ready to attack. But of course Gajeel hadn't thought the whole thing out. Before her knew it his feet stopped moving and her appeared to be trapped in a red magic seal. "Two against one isn't a very fair fight, is it dragon slayer?"
"Hey, what is this?!" Gajeel inwardly panicked as two sets of chains emerged and began to wrap around his body.
"Just an ability I gained from Cerberus." Calypto shrugged as if it was nothing. "Now then-" Calypto tuned towards Pantherlily to find that her wasn't where he had been. Before she could turn around, Pantherlily ran up behind her and punch her on the back of her shoulder.
"Never turn away from your opponent!" Calypto stumbled forward, stopped and then turned to face Pantherlily; whose fist met her stomach. She cried out and tried to raise her sword, but Pantherlily grabbed her wrist and held hard until she finally let the weapon fall to the ground.
Gray was running towards the strange villages front gates, which stood locked before him. The strange woman named Asuma was running after him; shouting something about joining her to take Fairy Tails magic. Gray stopped in front of the gate and gripped the iron bars. He had been trying to use his magic, but nothing happened. Asuma drew closer to the ice wizard; ready to strike him with her lightning magic. Gray braced himself for pain, but all he heard was a spell being cast. Asuma was forced to stop when vines begun to sprout from the dry dirt and form a cadge around the woman. Asuma cursed under her breath and mumbled a spell; she disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
Gray let go of the gate and turned to the female mage. She looked to be around sixteen with green eyes and loose curly below her shoulders brown hair. She wore a green hooded cape, brown pants with combat boots and a sleeves green shirt. Gray could almost see the bandages around her waist.
Gray felt the girl shift in discomfort with grays staring. "You're the one who casted that spell? Thank a lot for the help. I'm Gray Fullbuster. What's your name?"
"I'm Evelynn Green. Are you hurt?"
"No I'm fine." Gray ignored the pain in his right side and continued to speak. "Do you know where we are?"
"Sorry, but I don't. I came across this place I thought it might be a good idea to investigate it. Except it seems to stay in one place during the day and move by night. That Asuma lady wanted me to help her steel a guilds magic, Fairy Tail I think was.
"That's my guild!" Gray said alarmed.
"Oh, well Asuma had sent a group of dark mages to Magnolia…"
Natsu and Wendy with running around Magnolia trying to find Gajeel and Pantherlily. They were stopped by a girl standing in the street. "Natsu, long time no see. I wish you would've kept in touch with me and my sister."
"Suzu, what are you doing here?" Natsu asked with surprise.
"Natsu do you know this girl?" Wendy asked.
"No, well yes. It's kind of a long story." Natsu rubbed the back of his neck. He turned his attention back to Suzu. "Are you behind what we heard about Gajeel?"
"Who? Oh yeah, the Iron Dragon Slayer. Yeah I know where he is."
"Where?" Wendy asked, steeping towards her.
"Probably getting his ass kicked by my partner." Suzu shrugged and played with her hair casually. Natsu steeped in front of Wendy.
"You go ahead to Gajeel and Pantherlily; I'll take care of her." Wendy didn't look to happy about leaving Natsu behind, but she continued running down the street.
Ace was walking with Happy and Carla down a street. "Natsu and Wendy went looking for our guild mate Gajeel" Happy explained while flying above Ace.
"Gajeel, I think I've heard for him. He's the Iron Dragon slayer, right?"
"Yup." Happy landed on top of Aces head while looking around the market they had entered.
"Look!" Happy pointing with excitement. "Fish!"
"Not again" Carla complained.
"Hey Ace yo9u should buy me one of those big delicious fish!"
"I would, but I don't have really any money on me."
"Aww" Happy dropped his head and followed after Ace and Carla.
Gajeel was struggling against the chains Calypto had captured him in. With every attempt he made to escape he felt the chains grow tighter. Calypto was doubled over and panting a couple feet away from Gajeel. She struggled to regain her breath. She was pretty torn up from the blows she had taken. The cat is stronger than I thought her would be. Especially after fusing with Cerberus I'm losing energy to fight to fast, I might have to retreat. Master and Asuma won't like that very much though. I have to win this and take the Dragon Slayers magic. The cat seems to be worn out too; maybe if I get my sword back I can turn this around…but how? Calypto tore from her thoughts when a younger girl approached.
"Gajeel!" Wendy stopped and looked at what was going on. Gajeel was in chains, Pantherlily reverted to his small cat form and another female mage standing nearby. She stepped back when she noticed the girl's intense gaze fall on her. Calypto ran at her and with Pantherlily in his small form and Gajeel in chains, Calypto easily grabbed Wendy and he sword.
"I'll kill her" Calypto held her blade against Wendy's neck hard enough for blood to appear. Gajeel and Pantherlily appeared in shock. Gajeel struggled harder and broke the chains with force,
"What? You-you broke Cerberus's chains, only Cerberus himself can free you!" Calypto gasped.
"No one threatens one of my guild mates while I'm around!" Wendy smiled in relief, knowing full well that Gajeel was ready to thrown down and beat this girl. Gajeel called his Iron Dragon Scales and ran at Calypto. Calypto shoved Wendy to the left and into ground. Not those scales again, I'm done for! Gajeel prepared to hit her, but hesitated a little. I shouldn't punch her, she is a girl…Gajeel thought for a moment, but went ahead and hit her straight in the stomach. Calypto hit the dirt with a thud and held her stomach in pain. She cried slightly.
"That hurt, that really hurt!" Gajeel ignored her and grabbed her by her shirt collar; lifting her up to his height.
"I beat you, now tell me everything. What up with this taking peoples magic thing and why Fairy Tail? Who's your master?" Gajeel demanded answers.
"I won't tell I won't betray my master or my friends!"
