For two more days Levy, Gajeel, and Pantherlily continued on following Emma's scent every day getting harder to move on.

That night they made camp but barely any of them got sleep only able to think of how close they were getting. Throughout the night all of them had nightmares about Emma Gajeel dreamed he was in an iron cage he couldn't eat his way out of as Emma laid in front of him crying tears of fear as a monster came for her he would reach and reach but never could get to her, Levy dreamed that she was chained to a rock as she was blasted by purple magic blast all the while hearing Emma wailed for her, and Pantherlily kept dreaming of the night Jose took Emma reminding him of his great failure.

Needless to say the next morning was not so pleasant for everyone one. All through the breakfast they managed to make up no one was able to eat very much, Levy shaked from her nightmare, Gajeel silently cried, and Pantherlily was unable either of his friends ashamed of his failure.

Everyone was so depressed and disappointed it was as if Emma was the glue that kept each of them together. This continued all morning until Gajeel eventually was sick of his attitude knowing it wouldn't fix his longing.

"Guys what are we doing?"

"What do you mean?" Levy asked sadly.

"I know we are all sad but this is not going to solve our problem or get Emma back it's time to toughen up as take back what's ours!"

"But Gajeel how just look at me I'm not exactly strong. How am I supposed to be helpful to you or fight for my daughter?"

Gajeel then squatted down and looked Levy in the eye.

"Levy you are helpful to me every day my world wouldn't be complete without you. You're the one who makes me happy, who cares about me, who keeps me in line, and you found the man inside the iron beast. But you need to stop doubting yourself you are one of the strongest women I know you just can't seem to see it."

"You really think that?"

Gajeel took Levy's hands.

"Without your strength or your love I would not be able to live on."

Levy then stood up and smiled.

"Then let's get our girl back!"

With new found confidence the three continued on faster than before until they came to source of Emma's scent. It was a large, dark, and old castle that seemed to emanate evil getting stronger the closer you got to it. They all hid behind a very large rock so they weren't seem and so they could come up with a plan.

"What is this place?" Gajeel asked nervous as to where Jose had taken his daughter.

As Levy looked at the dark castle a light bulb suddenly went off in her head.

"Wait a minute I've read about this place!"

Levy dug through her bag until she pulled out a red book called The History of Dark Guilds and Magic. She had it when the guild was hunting down the Spirigan 12 as a way to get into their heads.

She turned to it until she got to a picture of the castle before them and a passage about it.

"One of the biggest figures in dark magic history was Aaron Von Cuxk a very wealthy baron of the year X525. The creator of many dark spells and a devout worshipper of the black wizard Zeref he was considered to be one of the greatest dark wizards of his time. With his deep knowledge of dark magic he created what is considered the greatest compilation of dark spells, the Hellric. Within its pages it believed that when Von Cuxk died that his soul was put into the Hellric seeking for a vessel to possess."

There was more on him but the three couldn't stand to read past that sentence as their senses of fear were at an all time high.

Almost immediately they ran into the castle desperate to find Emma now. They searched every room hearts breaking when they didn't find her.

"Emma!" Lily called out hoping to get a response.

"Emma sweetheart Mommy's here!" Levy cried out desperately.

"Emma Munchkin it's daddy!"

They all called hoping to hear her babble, whine, cry, anything to know where she was. They continued for almost an hour when Levy came up to a large portrait of man she guessed to be Aaron Von Cuxk. As she looked at it she saw a little stand covered with objects. As she looked it over she saw large jewel that looked loose almost. She grabbed and started to twist it causing the portrait in front of to rise and reveal a doorway.

"Gajeel I found another room!"

Almost immediately Gajeel came running with Lily in his large firm flying behind him. They all then went through the doorway and ran down the staircase that it lead to. They then came to a door that had purple light shining through the cracks. Very impatient Gajeel made his arm into an iron club and destroyed the door before him.

"Alright Jose give me my daughter back you unbelievably bastard!"

Jose then turned around with his usual wicked smile on his face as he walked towards him.

"Well well well you actually found me I knew shouldn't have underestimated you sense of smell."

"Where are you keeping my child!" Levy yelled with absolute motherly fury.

"I'm not keeping her anywhere in fact-"

"Stop stalling and tell us where Emma is!" Lily yelled as he made his sword giant ready to slice up Jose.

"If you could please let me finish you rude little feline you'd know she's right her. Emma if you could please come over."

All of them looked at Jose rather oddly until they heard footsteps.

"Now Jose you know I don't go by that name I'd prefer it you called me Aaron or Baron Cuxk or should I say now Baroness Cuxk." Said a rather womanly voice.

All three of the Fairy Tail's members faces were ran over with shock at the sight they saw. For before them stood Emma but now as a young woman.
