They were late. He trusted them to return as quickly as possible, but considering it had been a full day and the trio had yet to walk through the door, Laxus was feeling more than extremely agitated. He'd finally had it; he was at the end of his rope and it was time to do something. He'd been boiling with rage for a week after zapping the weakling...what was his name again? Zamo...Zippo...Zuto...or was it Zeto? Laxus was sure it started with a 'Z', ended with a 'O', and sounded stupid. Anyway, the more he thought about the asshole and how irritatingly correct he was about a majority of the Fairy Tail members, the more he wanted to tear something apart. What happened after the Zito incident didn't help either.

After his little "bar fight", the furious mage returned to Magnolia. He'd spent the whole journey home fuming about Fairy Tail's plummet into idiocy, so when he found himself nearing the guild, he was pretty much on the verge of exploding. It was not long after discovering two weak maggots pummeling one of the main causes of his guild's downfall that he did just that. The old man had taken in the enemy; no wonder everyone was laughing at the guild.

Laxus lost all control and did not hesitate to relieve some of his frustration through violence. He would have kept going except for his almost-mistake. He was so over the edge that when Jet yelled for him to stop, he'd attacked him without thinking. He wasn't looking either, so he also ended up missing the weakling and instead almost hit Shadow Gear's female member. He hadn't even noticed she was there until it was too late.

For that brief instant in which he watched his lightening tear through the air towards Levy, he thought of Lucy; the two were close friends weren't they? The Celestial Mage would be hurt as well if his lightening hit. The second Gajeel dove in front though, Laxus only got madder for some reason. Perhaps it was a way to drown out the moment of relief.

After that, Gajeel staggered off and he let him. Laxus had his own business to take care of...such as summoning the Thunder God Tribe back to Magnolia. The time had come to take Fairy Tail before things got even worse.

He'd been waiting for his three followers for a week and they had still not arrived. It was now the day of the Festival and he was getting extremely pissed. Laxus would take deep breaths regularly to calm himself so he wouldn't blow up the room in a fit of frustration.

"You called for us," Evergreen's annoying voice pierced his ears suddenly breaking him from his thoughts. He responded with a growl.

"You're late...Freed...Evergreen...Bickslow..." His tone was dangerously low. Laxus lifted his heated gaze from where it was focused on the carpeted floor and looked at his theoretical "bodyguards". In truth, they were more like loyal minions.

As usual Freed's long green hair fell over his eyes and shoulders except for two strands that stuck up on either side of his head like antenna. His maroon coat and the blade at his side made him look almost like a nobleman. Evergreen hadn't changed since he'd last seen her either; she still wore the revealing fairy getup with her delicate spectacles and the fancy hairstyle that made her look like a slutty librarian/fairy. Bickslow was still Bickslow.

"Chasing down weaklings took longer than expected," the tallest of the group said, his tongue hanging out as he grinned wickedly. His mask covered the top half of his face and his "babies" bobbed through the air around him. Laxus snorted at the comment and stood up.

"I don't care about your excuses, Bickslow. It's time." He walked past them and out the door. After a second the three followed.

"Tell us what to do, Laxus." Freed spoke this time. "We will follow you." The powerful mage's eyes narrowed at the smaller man's words.
