A few hours went by and it was getting close to midnight as the baby girl slept peacefully. Then suddenly a purple glow came in front of the window giving off a rather sinister and evil aura. As it lingered there the window suddenly started to open allowing the light to slip in and then it was dark again.

It was then a tall and slender figure was towering over Emma's crib.

"My what a cute little girl Black Steel seems to have, think I'll take you for myself for I have many plans for you my dear."

As the mysterious figure reache in the crib he suddenly felt a sword on his throat.

"Who are you?" Pantherlily asked angrily currently in his big form.

"So your Gajeel's little pet I've heared much about you, Pantherlily isn't it?"

The man then straightened up no longer towering over Emma.

"What do you want with Emma and how do you know my name, answer me!"

The man could feel the blade come closer to his throat but yet he still had a wicked smile across his face.

"That I believe is my business and as you already know I'm not here for you!"

Suddenly the man's hand glowed purple and he punched Lily directly in the stomach. Almost immediately Lily was on the ground gasping for air, he couldn't believe the man had taken him down so easily even with magic. He watched in agony and with rage as the mysterious man lifted Emma out of her crib.

"Don't you dare touch her!" Pantherlily yelled still gasping for air.

"Oh I see you still have some fight in you, well let me snuff it out of you!"

Suddenly streams of evil laughing spectators wrapped around Pantherlily and started strangling him. Lily felt a mix of things sick, pain, darkness, and just pure evil enveloped and choke him.

As Lily continued to make cries of pain Emma woke up and saw her special friend being tortured. As if that didn't upset her enough she then saw she was in a rather unfamiliar, strange, and scary man's arms making her start to sob her poor little eyes out.

With each little cry Pantherlily felt his rage increase determined to make the man pay for making Emma cry.

"It's no use the more you struggle the more pain you'll be in!"

"Let go of my cat and my daughter!"

The man suddenly felt something sharp behind his back but still had his wicked smile on. The sharp object was none other than Gajeel's hand in the form of an iron lance. He was boiling mad outraged someone would attack his family.

The man though wickedly smiled as he released Lily, who returned to his small form, and turned towards Gajeel.

"Who are you!?" Levy asked loudly equally as angry as Gajeel.

"I'm surprised neither of you don't recognize me Black Steel especially with what we all went through."

The man held a glowing purple hand in front of his face and revealed he was none other than Jose Porla. Gajeel and Levy's faces immediately made expressions of shock.

"How are you-"

"How am I alive and able to use magic well my dear it has been ten years and I wasn't ever killed, incredibly weakened but never dead."

"I don't really care if you're dead or alive, you will let my daughter go!"

"My my Black Steel how testy we are, you could attack me but we wouldn't want to hurt this cute little girl would we."

With that Jose's hand glowed purple as he put it over the crying Emma.

"No please don't hurt her!" Levy cried out.

"Then lower your lance."

With that Gajeel reluctantly lowered her lance as it started to turn back into his arm.

"Now give her back."

"Oh I never said I would give her back. You see my boy I have plans for this child, none of which you need to know at this moment. Now it's time for us to be saying goodbye and don't worry I'll take care of your daughter."

As Jose turned to leave both Levy and Gajeel rushed at him yelling "No!"

But he quickly pinned them to the wall with his ghosts leaving them helpless to save their daughter. Jose then started to glow as he seem to fly out of the window taking with him the most precious treasure of the Redfox family.
