Fairy Tail; The Sequel

Chapter Four ; The Baby

The sound of wood against wood silenced the guild members. The wizards turned their attention to the tired, blue haired fairy. "Master!" Her small voice shook the guild. Crime Sorciere stood behind her with looks of strength and weakness. Scarlet hair flew towards the door as the small Solid Script mage fell to the ground.

    "Levy! Are you alright?" Her voice held worry. "What happened?" Instead of getting an answer, a maroon haired man took a step towards the two mages.

    "I think I know." His voice was gruff, but urgent. "I heard Jellal's thoughts. He said to tell Fairy Tail that Natsu and the his group need help."

    Levy nodded just slightly, confirming the wizard's claims, "Gajeel needs help too. Mira and Laxus are fighting Scar with him." Erza's expression hardened. She helped place Levy on a bench, then she requipped into her normal armor, Heart Kruez Armor, and pushed past Cobra.

    "Tell master I've gone to help Juvia's team." She grunted before Cobra grabbed her arm.

    "You can't go alone. He said to send back-up, which is more than one person." The master stepped up onto a table and studied the mages surrounding him.

    "Crime Sorciere will split up. Erik, Macbeth, and Erza will go help Team Juvia." The master gave a hopeful yet stern look to Cobra. "You can track them, can't you?"

    The poison dragon slayer nodded, setting off to retrieve their two original members and the rest of Team Juvia. The master, however, turned to the rest of Crime Sorciere. "You three will go to Team Gajeel with Wendy and Mest."

    "How will we find Team Gajeel?" Wendy's frail voice came from the group.

    Makarov looked at Levy, unsure if he should send the tired wizard. "My child, do you think you could help them find Team Gajeel?" Levy had a glass of water in her trembling hands.

    "Yes, I can go." She gave Wendy a smile and waved back at the rest of the guild members. She couldn't get her mind off of Gajeel, though. She was worried he wouldn't be able to take the large wizard down on his own. She kicked at the dirt as she walked with the quiet group of wizards.

    Wendy's long blue hair distracted Levy, allowing her to realize that she wasn't the only one worried. Crime Sorciere and Fairy Tail were both worried about Jellal, Meredy, Team Juvia, and Team Gajeel. A hand squeezed her tense shoulder. "Don't worry." Mest was the first to speak in the group. "They'll be fine."

    Gajeel, Mira, and Laxus were indeed fine. They had been giving the Moonlight wizard a pounding and he had been taking it. "You see?" Grunted Gajeel as his fist landed on Scar's stomach. "We aren't going to be easy to take down."

    What the Fairy Tail mages didn't realize was that there was a smirk playing on Scar's face. He chuckled as he grabbed Gajeel's incoming arm. "Learn to pay more attention, Fairy." He laughed maniacally as a bright light engulfed the room. The wizards were sent flying into the walls with magic circles on their stomachs. "While you, 'pummeled' me, I had been chanting a spell."

    Laxus helped Mira back onto her feet then, grunted at the man. "What did you do?"

    "Oh, nothing." He clicked his tongue. "Just, everytime you hit me, you get blasted by that magic circle, there." He pointed to the ominous, white circle.

    Gajeel laughed, vociferously. "You think that'll stop us?" He ran towards Scar.

    "Iron Dragon's Club!" Iron stretched out from his arm, hitting the wizard in the face, but at the same time, Gajeel was struck by a ray of light from the magic circle.
