Good Meets Bad

Chapter Twenty-One:The fallen

The man's face remained stoic as he raised a hand in greeting. At this, Lucy was stuck in her spot, unable to move or even yell at him for he wasn't supposed to be pointing a gun at his friend. Why was he going to shoot Jellal?

Gray tilted his head back, staring at Jellal through narrowed eyes.

"Yo... Jellal."

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Gray!" Levy gasped and screamed as a hand was thrust forward to the side of her face. She crouched down and threw a knife at the opponent. The man fell to the floor with a grunt and the bluenette stood up, clasping her hands together while she turned to stare at the raven-haired man.

Her lips quivered, "Gray... why?" She felt a drift behind her and when she turned around, her face was slapped to the side and she was thrown to the floor.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Gray!" Erza barked. Her eyes grew wide and she leaned back, dodging a kick. She gritted her teeth and threw a knife at the woman, glaring at her, "Move out of the way!"

The redhead clutched the knife in her hand tightly, crouching down and slicing the knife at an enemy's leg. The man howled in pain and Erza took this as an advantage, diving forwards and stabbing the knife in the man's forehead. Blood was splattered all over her face and when she withdrew the knife, her fingers trembled and the knife slipped from her hands.

With a growl, she turned around and glared at Gray, "Don't do anything reckless, idiot!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Laxus grinded his teeth together in anger, turning around and landing another punch on the man's face just before he could fire his gun. He picked up a forgotten pistol on the floor and pointed it at the man. With a snarl, he pulled the trigger and the man's body went limp. Another one ran at him, face in a wicked smile. He held a shotgun in each of his hands, shooting at the blonde who hid behind a pillar, hiding from the man. After sucking in deep breaths, he faced the man again and appeared behind him, twisting his neck and throwing him aside.

He turned around to stare at Gray, "Bastard! What are you doing?" He clenched his fists and threw a butcher knife behind him, "DROP YOUR GUN!"

The knife hit a woman's chest and she screamed, falling to the floor.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Lucy's fingers trembled and she held her gun with both hands, pointing it at Gray who refused to turn his gaze to her. She bit her lower lip, "Why, Gray? Why?!"

The said man pursed his lips, "Stay out of this, Lucy."

"I can't stay out of it! You're going to kill my boyfriend!" She cried out, tears slipping away from her eyes, "I don't want to hurt you, Gray. Drop your gun and everything will be fine."

Gray sighed, "I can't do that, Lucy."

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Who is that guy?" Haru asked, jumping left to right as he looked over his shoulder. The woman in front of him screamed in frustration.

"STOP MOVING!" She barked and Haru smirked. He back flipped and when his feet touched the ground, he fired his gun at her and the woman landed on the floor with a thud, blood pooling around her body.

Zen shrugged, yawning, "Apparently, he's part of the Student Council."

"If that is so, why is he pointing a gun at Jellal?" Haru asked, raising a brow.

"That, I don't know."

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"So, he's the guy I've heard about," Elie said, frowning as she twirled the guns in her hands. Smirking, she ducked down and fired her two guns at five approaching enemies, "Jealousy took over him."
