I don't own Fairy Tail!
Chapter 6: Time to kidnap the Celestial mage
Lucy P.O.V.
I can't stop thinking about Erik's letter, wondering what exactly happened to him in these 2 years after the escape. Why did he get all his memories of me removed? What kind of person would do that to someone else? I just can't seem to wrap my mind around it. He said he joined his old guild, but as far as I can remember he told me they were bad people. Did he really join a dark guild after our separation? I should've just stayed with him, we could've handled my father's guards with ease. If only we stayed together. If only I had more strength at the time. If only…
"Hey, Blondie! How many times are you going to be spacing out on us?"
My head snaps up to look at the grumpy looking blonde haired slayer, namely my brother. "I'm terribly sorry. What did I miss?"
Gajeel shrugs and shakes his head slowly. "Just the plan of meeting up with the other guilds at the warehouse. Speaking of which, where the hell is that warehouse?" His gaze shifts between Laxus and Erza, the 2 S-class mages, whom have more information about this whole situation.
The redheaded woman just nods at Laxus, the latter sighs and looks at us again. "The warehouse is situated near the edge of Worth Woodsea. That forest is also the location of Nirvana, the device that Oración Seis is after right now."
"Laxus, what exactly is Nirvana?"
"Um, well it's a canon used to turn Light magic into Dark magic. It was once created by people called 'the nirvits', and until now it was deemed a myth. It's hidden somewhere in the forest, but once it's found… Let's just say, nothing good will come of it. Like ever again." He moves his hand through his hair, and I can hear Gajeel swallow thickly.
"You guys, it's time to move on now. Otherwise we'll be late for the meeting." Erza announces while getting up from the rock she was sitting on. Everyone follows her example and moves from their spot on the ground or rocks. We have just started walking again, when an annoying whine makes me groan in frustration.
"Are we there yet?!" Apparently Natsu is still sulking about having to take the train up here. Even though we had already been walking for an hour straight before the 15 minute break. I admit, my feet are also starting to hurt now, but even I'm not complaining. I feel like I'm just going to strangle that guy for being a whiney little bitch.
When we see a building appear in front of us, everyone speeds up a little. A few members are already standing outside, waiting for us probably. But one specifically reaches my attention.
"Hey, Bunny is that..?"
A wide smile spreads across my face and I raise my hand to wave. "Jura-Sensei!"
Everyone but Gajeel stares at me in shock, while Gajeel himself just smiles slightly. Only a few weeks after me and Gajeel started travelling together had we found Jura Neekis, also named, Iron rock Jura. He's one of ten wizard saints at this moment in time. He trained us for a few months and formed us the strong mages we are today.
"Ah, Lucy and Gajeel. You two have come such a long way since I last saw the both of you." He ruffles my hair and I send him a small glare.
"That is thanks to you of course, Jura."
The wizard saint chuckles. He was proud of us, I can just see it by the look on his face.
"Let's go inside to talk. It's safer than out here."
We all walk inside. Apparently, Fairy Tail was the last to arrive. Nothing new really.
Cobra P.O.V.
Tell me I'm not dreaming. Is it really her? Is that Lucy? She has become even more beautiful, and she looks so happy. 'Even without me.' The sad thought has been haunting my mind for several days now. An image of us pops into my head. Lucy is sitting behind a large piano, her fingers fly effortlessly over the keyboard, while a soft song escape from her lips.
I shake my head to get rid of the imagine. I have to focus on my mission!
'I'm so glad Jura-Sensei is with us! They won't be able to lay a finger on us with him near.' Lucy's thoughts makes me smile. For 2 separate reasons though. First, because I can finally hear her again. And second, because we're going to prove her so wrong. Jura will go down. I can just feel my smile turning into an evil smirk.
"So, Cobra.. That is the blonde bimbo we need for the canon?"
I clench my jaw to hold back a low growl and just grunt in response. Racer turns his head towards me and sends me an expecting look, I shake my head at him and point towards the building. "We have to wait for Angel to return, be prepared though. She's almost here."
Speaking of the devil, angel walks into the clearing with a light skip and turns her head towards me.
I nod slowly. "It's time to begin. Go ahead, Racer."
The speed mage smirks and jumps from the tree.
I'm so sorry, Lucy.
Laxus' P.O.V.
Something is really wrong, we can all feel it. Every Dragon Slayer in the warehouse is all tense. The other guilds are talking about different strategies to take down the dark guild, but Their talking just doesn't reach my ears.
"Sparky, you okay?" Lucy looks up to me with a worried look in her eyes. Even Gajeel looks at me worriedly, but I'm sure that's because he has the same scared feeling as me.
Suddenly everyone turns quiet and they're all staring at the door. Or at least where the door was supposed to be. Instead light flows in and reveals a figure standing in the doorway. The figure starts walking inside and turns out to be a girl with long white hair and a feathery dress.
"My, my, this is indeed quite a nice group indeed. Oh and such cute guys!" she cups her cheeks and squeals. I raise an eyebrow in question at the young girl. What the fuck is she even doing here?
"Who are you?" Lucy takes a step forward and looks at the suspicious girl.
"Oh, right. My name is Angel, member of the Oración Seis. And I'm here to take you all down." She smiles brightly at us.
The Dragon Slayers growl in unison as the girl walks even further inside. She slides her hand across her chest and reaches into her cleavage. She pulls out multiple glass tubes and throws them at the floor in front of us. Immediately smoke starts forming. Is that sleeping gas? One by one our allies drop to the floor, every single one, even Jura himself. I fall to my knees, just when a second person walks in and they lift a small figure off the floor. Is that Lucy?! I reach out for her but instead I just fall face down to the floor.
My inner dragon roars out in anger. 'They took Lucy, they took my little sister!'
Time skip
I open my eyes with a groan. What happened?
"Thank goodness, Spark Plug. You're awake." Gajeel stares at me, anger, worry and relief visible in his eyes.
"Gajeel, what the hell happened?"
"The bitch with the sleeping gas. They took Lucy."
once again I can feel my dragon roaring in anger. I jump to my feet, ready to chase the idiots that took her, but before I can even move an inch, strong muscular arms wraps around my waist from behind. My eyes widen in shock.
"Let me go. I have to go get her. She's my little sister, Gajeel."
"And she's my best friend for the past 2 years! You're not the only one worried about her, okay?"
A deep breath escapes my lips and I hold back the urge to run from his arms. Suddenly relaxation hits me. Gajeel makes me feel more relaxed in a situation like this? But why?
"I'm surprised you haven't pushed me away yet, Laxus."
I chuckle deeply. "I'm just as surprised. But honestly, how are we going to get her back?"
Gajeel groans and drops his head on my shoulder. I freeze at the action and feel Gajeel's arms tighten around me.
"We haven't been able to come up with a solid plan yet. We're going to take them down though. Every single one of them. And we will get her back, Laxus. I promise." His arms loosen up a bit and I pry his arms off completely so I can turn around to face him.
"Whatever happens, the feathered bitch is mine. I want to be the to make her eat dust."
Gajeel sends me a cocky smirk and nods. "She's all yours."
"Wow Laxus, I didn't know you were actually ga…"
Both me and Gajeel quickly extend our arms and punch Natsu in the face. "Shut it, Ash Brain."
"Is it true though? What Lucy said about us being mates?"
Gajeel's eyes widen slightly and he nods. "It is indeed true. But I already know your prefer being in the company of women."
I chuckle drily. "It is true, I've always been into women. But you, you make me so confused about everything. My head in just so fuzzy right now." Gajeel smiles gently and cups my cheek.
"We'll figure it out, Sparky." The way he purrs while saying 'Sparky', makes shivers run down my spine.
"Gajeel, Laxus? We have come up with a plan, well kind of." Erza steps up to us with a small smile.
"How can you 'kind of' come up with a plan?"
"Well, it seems like there's 6 members in this guild, just like Master said, but there's one weak link. Cobra."
Gajeel's eyes widen even more and he growls. "Don't tell me that bastard is actually Lucy's savior?"
"His real name is Erik."
"Fuck." Gajeel turns around quickly and punches his fists into the wall.
"Gajeel!" I grab his arms tightly and look into his eyes. "Tell me what you know."
"That Cobra guy, or Erik as his name once was, is the bodyguard that helped Lucy escape from the Heartfilia konzern. He's the one that wrote the letter to her to warn us about the Oración Seis. And now he helped them kidnap her. I swear to Mavis, I will kill that guy!" The look in Gajeel's eyes just shifted into a completely feral look.
I have to find a way to calm him down! My inner dragon smirks and my instincts just kick in. I spin him around to face me and grab the collar of his shirt to pull him closer, until our foreheads touch.
"You listen to me, and your listen closely. We're Fairy Tail. No matter what happens, we do not kill anyone, Gajeel. It's not our style of handling things." The hard look in my eyes makes him whimper. I sigh deeply and slide my right hand to the back of his neck.
"I'm sorry, Laxus. I don't know what came over me."
"It's okay." I give his neck a gentle squeeze.
"I'm so…"
I sigh and cut him off quickly, by pressing my lips against his in a soft kiss. His body relaxes against mine and a smile creeps up to my face. We pull back slowly and I see how his cheeks turn to a soft pink color. It's not until now that I realize what I just did. I turn my head towards our allies and nod firmly.
"It's about time we get my sister back from those bastards."
