Chapter 8: Assault and Battery

A/N: Best feeling in the world? Getting to go home from school while everyone else has 2 mores of hell left, hahaha! Gotta love block scheduling and short days! I have been noticing that whenever the story updates the story does not say it is updated and is backlogged for a while, so if you have any part of the series because of this just start at chapter 5 and go from there, unless you want to read the whole story again! However be forewarned this chapter is darker and has more people being beaten up. No fight scenes though, so Please… Huh I guess he stopped trying interrupt me, so Please Enjoy!

A few days later (Unknown POV)

I stalk through the crowded city streets and continue after my target, following her as she goes through a now seemingly daily routine of buying things for her job early in the morning so she has them for the day. I follow discreetly, walking stand to stand, pretending to browse at items while making sure the stand I'm at is at an angle that I can see her at. She finally heads to the register and begins to pay for everything, as I head to another register line that had me next up, as my turn came I ask for a pack of the best, most expensive cigars they have. She pulls out some from the small country of Hamaki, a place only big enough for one factory, a cigar factory, and it's the best in the world. I smirk and hand her enough money and tell her to keep the change, as a tip, all the while keeping my eyes on the target as she finally finishes paying for everything and begins to head to her work where she opens up and is there for at least two hours before everyone else. Guess that's what being alone in life gets you, job-life or cat-life. How sad, oh well.

She arrives at her work and sighs deeply, dragging enough stuff behind her to last for at least two days, she silently mumbles to herself, "With everyone in the guild already paired up, there's no relationships to mettle in…" …what's wrong with these people? Oh well, I have a job to do and as she opens the door and drags her cart inside I sneak in via the window above the door and perch myself on the roof until I'm sure she's distracted by putting everything away, I came down and crept over to the bar she was behind. She never noticed me as she was so enthralled by her work, so I stood and put my superior acting skills to work, laying on the gruff and deepening my voice, I asked "Oi, Mira-nee…"

She stilled for a moment. Crap! Did my acting not work? Well then again that is why I'm a freelance mage instead of an actor like I thought I could be. But then she squealed, "EEEEE!" and began to turn around and address me, she only ever got "Elf! You're…" before my fist met her face definitely breaking her nose and her cheeks. I smirk as she flies back completely unconscious and lands unceremoniously on the floor. I laugh at the position she lands in as she has one hand on her face like she was feigning surprise and the other on her hip as if she was about to give me sass. I found it hilarious and set to work, preparing my surprise for the members of Fairy Tail once more. I guess being caught off-guard runs in the family huh? Kekekeke(the person's laugh)!

2 Hours later (POV Change to Makarov)

I walk to the guild and go through my usual routine, fantasying over the women of our guild, my thoughts turning to the beautiful barmaid. Damn she was hot! "Ah! Can't think like that anymore, doctors say I gotta keep my heart rate low, since I'm so old and such, but what's a man to do? The women of Fairy Tail are smoking!' To change the subject on my mind I think about the embarrassment that happened a few days ago. 'Damn! How could I let someone sneak into my office and actually sneak into the basement where THAT is? How embarrassing! What would Mavis or Precht think?'

"I would tell you that it wasn't your fault, sixth master." Said the former of the two masters my thoughts had just mentioned. Startled a bit I jumped and turned to see her spirit there looking at me in concern. "I could tell, you were thinking about the break in, don't worry so much. You were busy taking care of the members of the guild, how were you supposed to know someone would do that? Not even I could calculate a scenario where this exact outcome was feasible, so don't beat yourself up over it."

"Thank you first master. And I have a surprise for you." I tell her as I continue my walk to the guild, "I have invited Warrod and he has agreed to attend the wedding and come early and use his plants to help with security."

"EEEEEEEEEEEE! He's coming?!" She asks with a smile on her face, "Other than Precht, bleh! He's the only other person I haven't seen yet since I died." She looks at me and I nod and she begins humming as we soon reach the guild.

I look at the guild and notice the doors are open, and worry immediately consumes me. While never locked thanks to Mira arriving so early, the doors are never simply left open, and with a majority of the food left by it, just inside the guild. I begin to run and plow through the open doorway and look to the bar, the color in my face immediately draining away. Looking up I see Mira frozen to the wall behind her, bloody and beaten with marks, 'those look like burn marks from a cigar…', all over her body. But perhaps the most horrifying part, and the part she would care about the most was that her was cut almost all off, except for a ring around her head that was meant to look like mine. I began to shake with anger as Mavis came run floating behind asking, "Sixth, what is the problem… oh no, oh no. I'll-I'll go get Porylusica" and left without another word, leaving me and my tears of anger to silently cry in rage alone.

(POV Change back to attacker)

I pull out a lacrima and say coolly into it, "The bar is closed for the day. Kekekeke!"

(POV Change to Gajeel, warning small citrus coming!)

I moan at her touches, "Ah! Levy! FUUUUUCK THAT FEELS GOOD!" she giggled as she trails kisses down my stomach and reaches the waistband of my boxers before coming back up my torso, "stop teasing like that…" I breathe out as she giggles again and sucks on the junction of neck and shoulder, leaving a mark. No longer wishing to wait as I know we won't just be going one round this morning since today was an off day and Joi was with her uncles, I flipped our positions so I'm on top and begin to trail kisses down her body lightly sucking on her right nipple. These breast may not be too big, but to me they're perfect.

I start working the other one, kneading it roughly with my index finger and thumb. "AHH!" she breathes out as I continue my ministration, "Gajeel give it to me!" Oh! OH YES! She's not only in the mood but she wants it now! "Give it to me now!" She breathes out in between moans and pants as I continue working on her breasts, but quickly stop and rip off my boxer, quite literally as I rip them in two and throw them somewhere in the room. My member stands at the ready fully erect and throbbing, longing for release. I position myself at her entrance licking my lips, oh gods how I long have I waited for this to happen again. I push in, tip only at first as she's still super tight and small. She writhes at the feeling and yells, "GIVE ME MORE!", she doesn't have to tell me twice as I push my length in fully and almost lose control and cum, damn she's tight. Regaining my composure, I begin to work a steady rhythm up pulling out until just the tip was left, and pushing back in roughly.

I was lost in my actions until suddenly the window flew open and I heard Gray's voice coming closer to the window, "OI! GAJEEL WAKE UP AND GET DRESSED… AAAAAHHHH! MY EYES!" Me and Levy both turn beet red in the face and quickly sit up and out from each other.

I groan at not being able to finish, but then recall the distress in his voice, "Oi, stripper what happened, it better be important, seeing as you interrupted something right now!" I growled at him as he stood up regaining his composure.

"It is… there was another attack today, this time IN THE GUILD." He said with a seriousness that could only mean that the words he just said were in fact true, not a joke.

I pause trying to find the words to say, "…Fuck. Who was it this time?" I ask slipping on boxers and reaching for my pants, which Levy quickly handed me as she was putting on one of my shirts.

"It… it was Mira." He said quietly causing us both to stop and look at him, the color in our faces gone. "She was assaulted this morning right after she got into the guild to set up for the day. She was frozen to the wall behind the bar and was burned repeatedly by what we think a cigar and Wakaba guesses to be a Hamaki cigar, the scent or something gives it away. And her was cut off and now she looks like master… it was a gruesome scene." He said, his fists shaking from the rage. He then looked up and said, "Oh and by the way the old plant guy, Warrod is here."

I looked at him and nodded while I put my headband on and said, "Ok I'm ready, lets go. Levy wash up and go and grab Joi with Lily then go to the guild and do not leave unless I'm with you, ok?" She nodded, grabbing her pen just in case. I looked wearily at her and quickly scooped her up in a hug and gave her the most passionate kiss I had ever given her, which she melted into, and let my worry flow through my lips. Wanting it to never end, I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked to see Gray looking sullen as well, as I nodded and said, "Levy, stay safe please."

"I will, now go and do your job, head of security." She said giving me the courage to move and leave my house, the look of concern never once leaving my face. The strongest guild in Fiore was under siege, and her defenses were failing.

At the guild

As me and Gray arrived, I saw Warrod outside waiting for us and master looking at the sky with Mavis trying to console him. "Oi, what's the situation look like?" I ask as we approach the doors, catching their attention. "Where's Laxus and Jura? I would have thought they would be here so we could come with a plan?"

"They're inside, we were waiting for you. Where were you?" Master asked as I shifted uncomfortably.

"He was fucking Levy, getting his morning wood out." Gray said way too nonchalantly.

I smacked him on the head and yelled, "DON'T TELL THEM THAT!" I regained my composure and said blushing a little, "Sorry about that, it was my day off so I wanted to…enjoy it."

Master nodded his head and said "It's ok Gajeel, I understand. Now before I forget, this is Warrod Sequen, one of the original founders of Fairy Tail."

"An honor to meet ya." I said holding out my hand.

"Huh? Me? I'm not Warrod… I'm just kidding yes I'm Warrod!" He joked and shook my hand as I sweat dropped, his reputation was spot on, he was a jokester. I hate jokesters.

"Ok now that you two have met we need to go and make a plan, I already have the calculations running through my head!" Mavis said floating through the wall

"OOOOH! You guys are in for a treat, seeing Mavis makes me feel old. Oh wait I am old! Hahaha!" Oh dear gods kill me, this is gonna be a long month and a half.

As we walked in we saw the scene and I almost barfed as did Warrod, seeing she was still up there, Master asked "WHY IS SHE STILL UP THERE?!"

"We can't get her down the ice won't melt anytime soon and if we move her we might hurt her more. Gray, could you come here and help us out?" Laxus responded, clearly disgusted with the situation as well.

"I've got it!" Mavis yelled and caught everyone's attention, "Gray you said that Wakaba said it was a Hamaki right? So we just need to go and ask all the stores and ask who has bought Hamakis recently since they are rare and are sold here, Alyphica, or in Crocus! Then we take that information and try and see if anyone looked suspicious when the were buying them and if they got a look at the guy!" As she finished we all began to nod and I finally felt us gain some traction in our defense here.

"It's not gonna work." Said a new voice I had not seen walk in, Wakaba was the source of the voice. "I already went and asked if the market here had sold any today and while they had, the lady who sold it to the guy said she cant remember what they were wearing or looked like. Apparently whoever it was wasn't a face to remember. And the videos lacrima didn't see him." He said deflating everyone there, well so much for plan A.

"Ok so plan A's no good, what's our plan B?" I asked looking around.

"Wait Wakaba, you said he/she bought it today, right?" Mavis asked, Wakaba nodded and she continued, "So then either she was followed this morning or someone knows her routines, or both actually."

"Wait, you're not saying that it was one of us right?!" I ask her concerned and angry, while she may have been the first master she had no right to insinuate this.

"It might have been, which I refuse to believe, or someone with knowledge of us might be helping them because this was most likely whoever has been assaulting the guild." I glared at her pointedly but nodded my agreement. Fuck, this is bad, what are we gonna do? "Sixth I need you to call all guild members, current or former, in for questioning, and we cannot take no for an answer ok?" She told master as he nodded and told Laxus and Gray to gather everyone here in Magnolia and bring them here. They nodded and were off without a word.

I looked at Warrod and asked, "You ready to start working on setting up your plants so they can detect anyone in certain places like our houses, the guild, and the city gates?"

"Yes, let's leave at once." He said seriously, and we leave, a feeling that the counterattack is about to start, and it was going to be bloody.

(POV Change to the unknown group's boss)

"So he came huh? Interesting, it's gonna make infiltrating different areas tougher but not impossible, ok continue gathering information and report back to me. I wanna know when the next stage of the wedding is, I wanna know who or what has what job now, I wanna know if Makarov sneezes, am I clear? I wanna know everything Ok?"

"Understood boss, I gotta go someone's looking for me, Number 2 out."

"Roger Number 2, Number 1 out." I put away the lacrima and begin to pace around the hotel room I'm staying in, thinking to myself 'So they brought in Warrod Sequen, huh? Oh well, not like it matters, we still will crush them and bring the plan to fruition, and I will have Lumen Historie as mine. Then I will be able to end things with him, for good' I stretched my legs and laid down, 'I have a week before things get too crazy and some time to myself… Nap time. The next time I wake up though, the whole town will be in shock.
