"Get em'!"

The boys hid behind a half fallen wall, pleading in their heads that the crowds of roaring people would leave them alone. The oldest of the three took off his coat and placed it over the other two.

"We need to go back for Wendy!" One of them cried.

"Shut up Natsu! That's what I'm about to do!" The oldest stood up and quickly looked around for the bluenette.

"Laxus, you can't be serious!" The black haired boy protested. "They'll kill you when they see you!"

"Don't you think I know that Gajeel?!"

The boy named Gajeel closed his mouth and held Natsu's arm. "We gotta stay here."

"What?!"

"Great Gajeel, I'll bring Wendy to the treehouse. Meet me there."

Just as Laxus was heading off, Natsu called out for him. "Laxus! I don't care that you're sixteen and we're ten! We can beat them all up!"

"That's what they're afraid of," Laxus sighed, "Natsu, you and Gajeel head to the treehouse now. Wendy's only five and I'm the only one who can carry her and fight at the same time."

"There they are!" The boys turned to see a group of angry looking townspeople glaring at them.

Laxus turned and screamed, "GO NOW!"

The younger boys didn't need to be told twice. They got up and ran as quickly as they could.

"They're getting away!" One of the townspeople yelled. "Get them!"

Before anyone could move, Laxus threw out his arm and a bolt of lightning hit the ground where Natsu and Gajeel had made their escape. "No one follows them."

"Laxus!" The blonde turned to his left to see a small girl running towards him. "Laxuusss!"

"Wendy!" He knelt to the floor and caught the little girl before she went flying past him. "You okay?"

"Uh huh!" She nodded.

"We've got to go." He stood up with Wendy in his arms and ran after Gajeel and Natsu.

"Stop them! We can't let the Dragon Slayers live!" The crowd yelled as they surged forwards, after the Dragon Slayers.

"Laxus!"

"I've got it!" Laxus turned around and once again threw out his arm, lightning shot from his fingertips and hit the ground in front of the crowd. He threw Wendy behind him, "Wendy, find Natsu and Gajeel at the treehouse. If I don't get there within half an hour then leave."

"B-But Laxus, come with me!"

"No Wendy! Leave!"

Wendy left the scene, and left Laxus with the angry people. standing before him.

"Stop this madness!" A small old man stormed his way to the front, blocking the way to Laxus. "He's done nothing wrong, you've all scared them! They're children, innocent harmless children!"

"Of course that's what you'd think Makarov!"

"He is your grandson after all!"

Makarov grew so he was a giant and glared at them all. "That may be so, but he looks after this town."

"Oh yeah? When did he ever do that?"

"Yeah!"

"Like that time he almost blew up the Magnolia Library?"
