"Uhmm... Lucy-sama?"

The said woman raised a brow, "Yea?"

Yukino played with the hem of her shirt and she stuttered, "I h-heard that the L-Lucifer Gang teamed up with a few gangs and t-they are heading f-for your f-friends."

Gajeel and Lucy's eyes widened.

"Shit," The blonde stared at Gajeel, "Go back to our hideout and call out my members. Tell them we're going to kill."

"Sure."

Jellal leaned against a light post, pushing his sleeve upwards to glance at his watch. He sighed as he nibbled on his bottom lip. Lucy was late. Very late. He knew he shouldn't be that worried, Lucy was a gang leader and she was strong enough to handle herself but... he had a bad feeling. Not for her, but for him and his friends. He felt... bad vibes.

"Neh, Jellal," Loke said, pushing his glasses up by his index finger, "Are you sure she said to meet here? I mean, it's been about an hour and she's still not here."

"Yes," The bluenette answered, licking his lips, "She'll come, let's wait a little more."

Erza sighed, "Okay."

"I'm worried for Gajeel," Levy said, clasping her fingers together, "He said he'll be back in thirty minutes but he's still not here..."

"Gajeel will be fine," Laxus said, eyeing Jellal's head from behind, "He's a man, if someone tries to rape him, he won't decline."

They all laughed and Levy blushed. Jellal chuckled as well and he was about to say something when a bullet whizzed past his ear. Levy's eyes widened and she attempted to scream. Well, she tried but a hand was clamped over her mouth, muffling her screams. A gun was pointed at her head and soon, people armed with guns surrounded the Student Council.

A voice chuckled, "Nobody move."

Jellal's eyes darted everywhere, was this what Lucy mentioned last night?

"Jellal I... you'll be targeted starting tomorrow. Do not listen to any of them, I will come, okay?"

The bluenette stepped back and a woman pointed her gun at him, "He said don't move, bastard!"

"I don't have to listen to you," Jellal bluntly said and Loke's jaw dropped. He wanted to tell him to stop acting so tough but a gun was pressed to the back of his neck. Never have he felt this frightened before, except for the time when they saw Lucy working at a café.

The woman's eyebrow raised and she grinned maniacally, "He's the one! He's War Maiden's boyfriend!"

"I should've known that they were going to go after you," Natsu said, laughing nervously, "I'm all fired up but I don't want to die yet."

"Shut up!"

Natsu nodded furiously, trembling.

"You're going to die soon if this man's girlfriend doesn't arrive," A man with fiery red hair said, pointing his thumb at Jellal, "Either way, you'll still die. After all," He grinned mischievously, "We never leave any evidence."

Laxus swallowed a lump in his throat and he ignored the metal thing pressed against his temple. He closed his eyes; they had no choice but to wait for Lucy. If he attacked the guy behind him, all guns would be pointed at him and he would be found lying on the ground with blood pooling around him. He shuddered at the thought and he stared at Jellal once again. Why did he have to like a crazy, sexy, hot, cold, merciless woman?

The area was silent and Jellal began to wonder where the police was. They were on the streets, someone should've screamed right now and the police would come to arrest these gangsters. But no one came, no one screamed and no one was there.

They were trapped.

"There's no one to witness this event," A woman said, cackling evilly, "We planned for this; we set up a poster saying that there's a concert happening far from this town. Everyone went there because it said "Tickets for free" and sure enough, we had a few of our members mimic a few singers," She smiled ruefully, "We're admirable, eh?"

Jellal coldly stared at her, "You're pitiful."

"What did you say?" Another woman screeched, "Pitiful? Us? Hell no, the one who's pitiful is your girlfriend."

"How is she pitiful?" The bluenette raised a brow and he felt a cold glare on his back. Loke was glaring daggers at his back, if he spoke one more time, Loke was sure that Jellal would be found dead and he didn't want to deal with Lucy's temper.

"She battles all of the gangs just to protect an item we're all after for," The woman shrugged, "It's a useless fight."

Jellal sighed, "I feel so sorry for you guys, one minute you're here, bragging and then the next, you're bodies would be thrown away somewhere far away where no one would know."

A man gritted his teeth, "I'm going to wring my hands around your neck and-"

"Shut up, Kurohebi," The man with fiery red hair said, "Allow him to speak, he's going to die anyway-"

Bang!

Jellal's eyes widened and he raised his head. Motorcycles drifted into a stop in front of them. Some people were holding guns while they took off their helmets but one was still sitting on her vehicle, twirling a freshly-triggered gun in her hand.

"...Oh really? Tell me," The woman took off her helmet and yellow hair tumbled over her shoulders, "Who's going to die?"

Laxus' jaw went slack, "Lucy..."

The blonde didn't stare at any one of her friends - if they were her friends. Instead, she was staring at the gang that surrounded them with an icy stare. This was not Lucy. Jellal stared at her eyes. This was not the Lucy he had known to love but... he knew that she was still his girlfriend.

"I'm surprised you've went silent, Kurohebi," Lucy said, her upper lip curling upwards in an amused smile, "Or is it because you can already see the door to hell?"

Kurohebi scoffed, "I'm not scared of you."

Lucy tilted her head back, staring at him through narrowed eyes, "We'll see..." She lifted her hand and formed a gun with her fingers. As her fingers pointed at the sky, her gang reloaded their guns and pointed them at the gangsters. They heard Kurohebi gulp.

The blonde tilted her fingers down.

"Fire."

BANG!

A woman from the other gang screamed and pushed Kurohebi to the floor, "SHIT! Duck you idiot!"

Kurohebi snapped out from his shocked state as he fiddled with his belt for his gun. He gritted his teeth as he glared into Lucy's amused eyes, "Fuck her..." He rasped.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Laxus rose into action as the gun on his neck was no longer there. He turned around and punched the man in the face. He kicked his feet and the man landed on the floor, groaning. Growling, he barked at Loke and the others, "Move you dimwits!"

"Don't move!" The man behind Levy yelled and the bluenette bit his hand, hard. The man screamed in pain and uncovered the girl's mouth. Levy turned around and kicked his shin before landing a kick on his private part. The man writhed on the street and before Levy could do more than that, a bullet hit his head.

Levy's eyes widened at the sight. She was horrified. She hated blood. However, she didn't linger there any longer. She ran towards Mira and Erza who were back to back with each other, panting and sweating, "There are too many of them," The redhead said, gritting her teeth, "We need to get out of here!"

"No one gets out!" Kurohebi yelled and he aimed at Lucy. But of course, he missed and the blonde ended up glaring at him.

"You dare try to hit me?" Lucy asked, tilted her head to the side, "Try again," Lucy pointed her gun at Kurohebi and she pulled the trigger. The bullet hit his leg and he yelled in pain.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"We need to get out of here," The blonde mumbled and she did a bird's whistle. Everyone's ears (The Crossed Heart Gang and the Student Council) perked and Lucy turned on the engine of her motorcycle. "Let them hop in," She bluntly said as she drove over to Jellal, firing her gun all the while.

"Get on!" Lucy shouted as she reloaded her gun. The bluenette scrambled to get on the seat behind Lucy and when he did, the blonde quickly drove away from the area.

Jellal panted, "Explain, please."

"I told you they were after me," Lucy said, glancing at the side mirror, "You should have been prepared."

The bluenette's eyes lowered in a guilty way, "I was prepared but..."

"Can you fire?" Lucy asked and the bluenette muttered a low no. She gritted her teeth, "Can you drive this thing?"

Jellal gulped, "No..."

"Then we're screwed," She said, sighing, "I can't have you fire the gun, you might hit some of my members."

The bluenette remained silent as he tightened his hold around her waist. He bit his lip; he hated the fact that he was so useless. Why couldn't he do better than this? Why did Lucy have to go through this?

"Didn't you play with toy guns when you were a kid?" Lucy asked, her hair flapping in the wind as she leaned forward, speeding up. She knew this was illegal; she was going past the speed limit. But then again, murder was illegal too and that didn't stop her. "It's the same," The blonde yelled as she tried to dodge the incoming bullets that just flew past her ear, "Please, at least try to shoot! We will get killed!"

Jellal nodded, "I'll try."

"Good!" Lucy glanced at the side mirror to find Gajeel riding his motorcycle with Levy behind him, slamming her fists on his back, "There's a gun on my belt, get it and flip the safety off."

Jellal did as he was told and he flipped the safety mode off. He held the gun with two hands and he turned around, firing.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

There was a scream then a crash. Jellal's eyes widened, this was his first homicide. Somehow, he wasn't that frightened. He could hear the grin in Lucy's voice, "Well, well, someone here knows how to shoot after all."

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"SHIT!" They heard Loke curse behind them. Jellal looked over his shoulder to find him riding on a motorcycle with a short white-haired girl. The man was holding a gun in his hands, firing as best as he can, just like what Levy, Erza, Mira, Laxus, him and the others were trying to do: keep up.

Lucy smirked, "Don't worry, even though it's illegal, we won't get caught."

"Oh yea," The bluenette said as he fired his gun, aiming at a few more people, "Why are you guys still not caught by the government?"

"That's because we work with the government," Lucy said, turning around a corner, her bike drifting as she did. There was a line of smoke and she accelerated again.

Jellal's jaw dropped, "What?"

"My parents used to donate to the government a lot," Lucy said, turning left and right as she attempted to avoid the bullets, "And the gang always helped the police. You see, we're not the criminals, they are. The government knows what I'm protecting and they don't want it to land in the other gang's hands. We won't get caught even if we kill a hundred people because other than being the most well-known gang," Lucy's lips curled in a devious grin, "We're also called the police."

BANG!

"What?" Jellal yelled, accidentally pulling the trigger as his body jumped in surprise, "You were the police all along?"

Lucy laughed - a wonderful chime in the bluenette's ears, "Yup. But if I ever go against a different law, I'm definitely going to jail. Other than you and my gang, no one else knows that we are the police so I believe you won't tell a soul."

"I won't."

The blonde remained silent before smiling fondly, "I love you."

"I love you too," Jellal mumbled, blushing slightly as Lucy laughed.

"I know."

BANG!
