A few minutes passed and the ghosts holding back Gajeel and Levy dissipated making them fall to the ground.

As soon as they hit the ground though they were terrified for their daughter they saw Lily laying lifeless on the floor.

"Lily!" both yelled.

Gajeel and Levy ran to the collapsed exceed Levy taking his small body in her arms.

"Lily wake up please tell me your ok!" Levy asked frantically.

Pantherlily coughed as he finally recovered a little from Jose's spell.

"Lily you're ok thank goodness!"

Levy hugged the small exceed to her chest happy to know he was ok.

"I'm so sorry." Lily's rather tough voice said quite weakly.

"What do you mean?"

"I failed you both I let that man take Emma away. I let her down I was supposed to protect her."

"You tried your best Lily Jose is a very powerful wizard but we're going to get her back I promise."

"Then you better bring me to." Lily said painfully as he got out of Levy's arms and back onto his feet.

"Lily no, your to hurt me and Gajeel will take care of this."

"No way squirt!"

"What?!"

Gajeel then lifted Levy and threw her over his shoulder.

"There is no way you're putting yourself in danger over my problem. Jose was my master so he's wanting revenge on me so you stay here!"

"Gajeel you put me down this instant he took our daughter so we both need to get her back!" Levy yelled as she struggled to get out of Gajeel's iron grasp.

"I'm the man of this family so it's my job to protect you all. I failed to protect my daughter and I lost her I am not about to lose you!"

"Gajeel I swear, Solid Script Lightning!"

Suddenly Gajeel felt himself being shocked causing him to let go of Levy.

"What was that for squirt!"

"Gajeel I love but I can't believe you would try to leave me out of this."

"I don't want you to get hurt."

"Gajeel we go on just as dangerous jobs."

"But this time it's different I have to redeem myself!"

"Redeem what Gajeel?"

"My failure as a father, my failure to protect my daughter from those that want to hurt her. I can't stand to fail you now."

Gajeel hung his head down ashamed of himself.

"Gajeel you could never fail me and you haven't failed Emma. You can only do so much yourself let me help you, I'm your partner in all things let me do the responsibilities of that."

Levy lifted Gajeel's head giving him kiss reassuring him she loved him.

"Alright then let's do this."

Gajeel took Levy's hand and started to walk out of their house. Pantherlily followed behind claiming he was just as involved and needed to give Jose what was coming to him.

Eventually Jose got to his destination the now new headquarters of Phantom Lord. It was an old abandoned castle on top of a mountain said to have belonged to a lord who was an expert in very dark magic.

"Well my dear welcome to your new home because my sweet will be staying here for quite some."

Emma only whined unable to cry anymore from missing her special friend, her home, her mommy, and her daddy.

But unfortunately for the poor little girl this was only the beginning of her troubles.

Jose then walked through the great doors of the castle walking down the dark and dank hallway that scared the little baby in his arms. Terrifying and stern portraits were on the wall many depictions of hell and demons rising from it. Then they came to a very large portrait at the end of the hall of a handsome young man with dark hair wearing fine black and red clothes as well as a very serious expression. In his arms he held a large black book decorated with red gems and depictions of dark magic symbols.

"This my dear girl was Aaron Von Cuxk a very famous dark wizard who based his spells and creations off of Zeref's works. He is the reason we are here you see the book he holds in his hands is the greatest book of dark magic there is the Hellric and I intend to teach you all that is in it so we may then take on members and from there become the greatest dark guild there has ever been doesn't that sound like fun?"

Emma only cried feeling this man was very evil and someone who would never love her.

"Don't worry you'll get use to it now come on we have work to do."

With that said Jose twisted a jewel on a decoration on the mini table under the portrait opening a secret door. Jose wickedly smiled and then went through making him one step closer to completing his revenge.
