Erza ran over to Natsu and looked at his face. She put her head to his chest and had a panicked expression. Then she went over to Gray and did the same thing. Lucy just watched Erza as she looked at the two boys then at Wendy. 

"Erza?" Erza looked over to Lucy with sad eyes, 

"Natsu and Wendy are in the same condition. But I don't know what's wrong with Gray. And Lucy..." Lucy looked from Natsu to Erza, "Wendy was right. There is no cure for Dragon poison that humans have found. And the poison is fatal." Lucy's eyes widened and she looked at Natsu. She slowly walked over to him like she was in a trance. She brought her hand up and touched his pink hair. Suddenly, Gajeel and Lily burst into the room.

"What's happening in here?!" Erza quickly looked to Gajeel and pointed out the door with a panicked expression, 

"Gajeel leave! There's Dragon poison all over in this room!" Gajeel's eyes widened and he ran out of the room. Lily looked from Gajeel's retreating back to Erza, 

"Dragon poison? Why would that affect dragon slayers?" Erza looked at Lily and sighed, 

"It was made to kill off the dragon slayers. And it works on them because they use the magic of a dragon. If anybody has any trace of dragon in their body, they are affected." Lily's eyes widened and he ran out the door after Gajeel. Lucy looked to Erza with tears in her eyes,

"Erza? What should we do?" Erza looked over to the three fallen mages then back to Lucy, 

"We just have to wait until they are able to recover. If they are able to recover. I have heard about dragon poison before but I have never encountered it before. I don't know if Wendy and Natsu can fight through it or what but I'm hoping that he'll be ok." Lucy nodded and looked back to Natsu, 

"Please...Natsu, you have to keep fighting."

Levy looked around but couldn't see Gajeel. She walked over to the table they usually sat at and looked around. Then she heard clumping steps as Gajeel and Lily went down the steps. Levy sighed, relieved and waved him over. 

"Where were you Gajeel?" Gajeel looked over at Levy and sighed heavily, 

"Listen Shrimp..." Levy frowned and looked at Gajeel. But before he could continue, he put his hand to his head and coughed. 

"Crap..." Gajeel got up and walked over to Mira behind the bar, 

"Mira," Mira looked up at Gajeel with a smile. But after seeing his condition, her smile faltered, "Make sure Laxus doesn't come into the guild, ok." Mira frowned in confusion, 

"Why?" Gajeel coughed again, 

"Just don't let him in. It's a matter of life and death." Mira's eyes widened in shock and she nodded, 

"Are you ok Gajeel?" Gajeel nodded and started walking back to the table he was just sitting at, 

"Yeah...I'm fin-" Gajeel fell to his knees and collapsed on the guild floor, 

"GAJEEL!!" Levy ran over to the iron dragon slayer and turned him around. He was breathing heavily and sweating heavily. Levy gasped and put her hand to her mouth. She looked over to Mira who was looking at Gajeel in pure shock, 

"Mira! Laxus will die if he comes in the guild." Mira's eyes widened and she ran out of the guild to search for Laxus. Levy looked at Gajeel and started crying. 

"What is going on here?!" Levy looked up and saw Erza coming down the steps with a frown on her face. She looked at Gajeel and Levy on the ground and she ran over to them.
