The Valley of Fears

GUILD WARS

"Listen up Brats!" Makarov exclaimed from the top of the bar.

Mira stood next to master, however, she was standing on the floor and not on the bar. The guild quieted down and gathered before the bar to listen to what Makarov had to say.

It's been two days of Mira and Makarov waiting patiently and anxiously for Laxus's return, but he never came back. Something happened to him and they didn't know what, all they knew was that his disappearance was related to the dark guild.

Mira was furious that he electrocuted her and disappeared. She wanted to smack the living shit out of him and yell at him, but he wasn't here so she couldn't yell at him or smack him, but she did break a glass when she cleaned it when she thought about Laxus electrocuting her.

"We're marching to Eisenwald today." Makarov declared with a determined face, making the guild talk among themselves.

They all knew Eisenwald had Levy, they also knew this war was going to happen sooner or later. It was inevitable.

"Yeah! Time to kick some but!" Natsu yelled excited from somewhere in the middle of the group.

"Wait, you knew their location?" Gajeel asked angrily, realisation dawning on him as he marched angrily to Makarov.

"Yes." Makarov answered simply as he sighed deeply.

"Why didn't anyone tell me then?" Gajeel asked angrily as he glared at master.

He could've marched there himself a long time ago to go get levy if master had told him where that dumb dark guild was.

"You would've gotten yourself captured as well, Gajeel." Master said with a sigh, he didn't have the strength to argue with Gajeel now.

He just wanted this all to blow over and have all his children back.

"Master, won't it be faster if we all just take the train?" Mira asked as she decided to chime in as she looked at the master.

"We're taking the train to Eisenwald!" Master declared again, dismissing Gajeel which made him growl in irritation.

"Nooo!" Natsu yelled in devastation as he fell to his hands and knees.

Wendy went blue in her face as soon as Master said train. She would usually use her magic on herself and the other Dragon slayer, but it didn't work anymore. Her spell had no more effect on the Dragon slayer's motion sickness, especially Natsu, much to Wendy's dismay.

Gajeel stood with crossed arms and watched the master. Sweat started pouring down his face when it registered to what master said. They were going to take the train to Revona... Again... However, Gajeel never said a word of complaint.

"You're okay with taking the train, Gajeel?" Lily asked surprised, he was expecting Gajeel to complain or refuse to take the train.

"Yes, it's faster." Gajeel answered, but Lily could hear in his voice that he really didn't want to take the train.

He just wanted to get levy back as soon as possible.

"There's got to be another way." Natsu said still depressed about them taking the train.

"Sorry Natsu, it's the fastest way. You do want to go kick their buts, don't you?" Lucy asked as she chuckled.

"Yeah! Let's go!" Natsu exclaimed as he ran out the door.

"Welp, I make that call." Master yelled, but Natsu was already out the door which made Makarov sigh heavily.

"Master, don't we have to wait for Laxus to return first?" Freed asked as he stepped forward with the Thunder Legion.
