CHAPTER 7: Reunited II

Chapter 7:

"Levy-chan, *pant* Levy-chan! *pant*" A blonde-haired girl yelled as she ran around the maze-like forest. "Levy-chaaaaaaaan!"

Her voice, echoing throughout the forest, with only flash magic (A/n: in our world its called a flash light *trolol*) in her right hand and the light coming from the moon are the only things that guided her through the dangerous forest. Her voice was drying out, her tears fall endlessly. 'How could this thing happened?' She thought to herself.

Just a few minutes before she was with her and Freed as they go inside the cave where Bixlow and a sleeping Laxus is supposed to be. But instead of a sleeping Laxus and a bored-looking Bixlow. The poor puppet/doll user was injured badly and the gorgeous sleeping chamber, according to Freed was broken into pieces as if lightning has struck it open and without its gorgeous sleeping dragon slayer, once again according to Freed.

So what could that mean? Well let's just say...NOT GOOD.

With Bixlow's last breath of words, not like he died or anything, just unconscious, he told us the culprit behind it and guess who? It's no other than an angry iron dragon slayer who is looking for its, destined mate. Obviously its the one and only Levy McGarden. Seems like Gajeel has been very fond of this blue-haired fairy to the point that he's getting crazy during the first night of the mating season.

While Freed was tending Bixlow's wounds, he told Lucy to find Levy immediately. Because a crazy dragon in the heat isn't what you really need during a mating season right? So without any second thoughts, Lucy looked for her dear friend. "Leeeeeeeeeeeeeevy-chaaaaaaaaan! Please! Answer me if you hear me!" The blonde continued to yell out the forest with her face streak with tears as she desperately screams for her name.

Thoughts about her suffering under the clutches of the iron dragon slayer scared her and at the same time, she is mad because she wasn't able to protect her dear friend. She was just beside her when Gajeel Redfox, grab Levy as he jumps into the forest and according to what Freed said "Maybe the reason why he got crazy during the first night is because while he's adrenaline was heighten, he's sense of smell was disturbed because of the greenery and the maze spell cast through the forest and he's unconscious feeling for Levy was the one that turned him into some crazy-ass freak. In simple terms lets just say he turned into some kind of mad rapist.

Yep, and the thought of Levy being force by Gajeel was something that Lucy could never allow. Not when she imagines her crying friend's face.

"Leeeeeeeeeeeeeevy-chaaaaaaaaaaan! Leeeeeeeeevy!*pant* *pant*" She yelled and yelled. "Levy-chaaaaaan...!"

Then suddenly she heard rustling sounds of the leaves, she stop crying and there she saw a black-haired man, half-naked. She immediately thought that it's Gajeel but as she gets nearer towards the bush, there she saw the always naked, though it's not mating season, but a very reliable "nakama" of hers, Grey Fullbuster.

"Geh! Lucy!" Grey yelled.

"What are you doing here! Aren't you supposed to be out of town or something?" Lucy asked, shocked to see the ice-mage in front of her.

"Ho..How about you? Aren't the girls supposed to be out of the city for a long time?" Grey said.

"Grey your clothes" Lucy said as she pointed while blushing to his full-packed body making the ice-mage scream in shock.

"A..anyway answer my question. What are you doing here?" Grey said, this time fully clothed.

"I...Sigh...me and Levy haven't been in the guild for a week. We were busy with books and today, just when we thought that we could say Hi to the guild we found Mira alone with some metal-infused magic in the guild then when we asked her about it, she told us some crap about mating season, But when she realized iron bars won't work she left the guild to us and ran away together with Elfman and Lisanna. Levy-chan and I tried going on a mission but it was empty out, Levy-chan fainted, Natsu and Gajeel came back, Gajeel was so suspicious, Natsu found us hiding behind the counter, they suggested playing tag, Levy-chan ran towards the forest, I went to the city but was immediately caught by Natsu. I fainted, was brought to my room then when I wake up I found myself half-naked, Stupid Natsu's been touching me and believe it or not I was under some kind of attraction pheromones and just when I thought it over, Levy-chan with Freed saved me. Knocked out Natsu and just when we thought we could hide from this bullshit, Laxus got away, Bixlow got his ass kicked by a crazy iron dragon slayer then he grabs Levy-chan and now...she's missing..." Lucy said in one breath making the ice mage gape at her, but then again she didn't say everything, at least not the part about her confession.

"Okaaaay...I understand it. Mostly" Grey said, "And cool so flame brain is still knock out now?"

"Yeah, but Freed said the spell will only last until tomorrow morning, which is in a few hours" Lucy sighed, as she sat down. "So Grey what are you doing here?"

"Er..nothing. I...I just got lost on my way ...to my mission" He said, well not that he can say he's worried for her that's why he's been searching around for her but then got lost in the forest in the process.

"Aaaaaaah!" Lucy yelled in frustration making Gray flinch from her sudden yelling

"Wha..what's wrong!?"

"Grey! I don't know what to do anymore! Le...Levy-chan is missing and she's with that stupid Gajeel who is under the influence of this whole mating season" Lucy said as she sighs in frustration and her own helplessness.

"Well isn't that just great?" Gray said making the blonde glare at him "What is!? Levy-chan's in grave danger you know!"

"Calm down Lucy," Gray said "You see if Gajeel's been so crazy for Levy then it means that he likes her right? And besides Levy's been attracted to Gajeel for a long time now right?"

"So...?" Lucy asked making Gray shot her a look that says's 'and-here-I-thought-you're-the-smart-one' making Lucy roll her eyes on her only to be laughed at by Gray. "Just say it. Ice-freak"

Yup, Lucy just called Gray Ice freak. She just did. It seems like being under Natsu's touch made her talk like him and Gray is pretty sure that teasing a distress celestial mage won't be good for him, sighing he said "It means that this could be a chance for them to be together. So just let them be."

What he sad at the last part hurt the blonde for a bit but then she stood up and said "Let them be!? Even if that was the case Levy's first time should be when her partner is sane, not when he's under a stupid mating season."

Sighing, Gray stood up and hug the crying blonde and whisper it to her ears, his body might feel cold but he's voice was hot enough to warm up and make the blonde blush "I'll help you find them so stop crying, okay?" making the blonde nod, with her face still red because of her teammate's sudden actions.

"Here use this" Gray said as she handed her the cross/sword necklace that looks just exactly like the one around his neck.

"What's this?" Lucy asked.

"We can use this to communicate or if you're in danger I can immediately come and help," Gray said.

"But...this is..important to you right?" Lucy said before she asked him what's with his necklace and then she knew that just like Natsu's scarf, it was given to him by his parents.

A pair of Love for the son they love.

Is what the necklace symbolized for him. "It's okay." He coolly said making the blonde smile, as she wears the necklace "Thanks, Gray." "No prob. So let's get searching" He said

"Wait." Lucy said as he stops him from leaving "Here, Use this. It can help you search in the dark. Or I hope it could help"

"Flash Magic?" Gray said as he smirks at her "You have one? Are you a girl scout or something?"

"Nope. Just prepared" She said while smiling.

"Then let's go?"

"Yeah, sure. I'll go this way. You go there" Lucy said making the ice mage nod in agreement.

And so the two began to search for Levy and a crazy dragon slayer in heat.

But you see the question is are things going well for them? Well, I think not.

Not when a certain PINK haired dragon slayer just woke up from the spell, as if his radar told him that someone's been coming near his property and that means war.

Nobody messes with his property.

Nobody and he's about to prove that as he went from a sexually frustrated dragon slayer to Dragon Slayer burning with super jealousy. And as Hell is about to lose and the war begins.

But until he comes, not Gray or Lucy knows the future problem coming their way.

But right now the main problem is,

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO Levy!?

Will she be the first one to get eaten?

Or will it be...a DIFFERENT GIRL!?
