The Guarded Heart

Vidaldus smiled as Juvia started to approach Lucy. 
"Aw yeah." He said as he started to strum his guitar, as Juvia began to laugh.
"Juvia." Lucy called out as she tried to cover her ears. "This song, is this what's making you act like this." Lucy called as Juvia was jamming to Vidaldus' guitar waves.
"Nice try." Vidaldus told her. "But my Succubus spell makes her my slave." Vidaldus laughed. "I got her like a dog on a chain." He then laughed again before a sick smile formed. "You know, I was thinking about making both of you my slaves," Vidaldus licked his lips as he stared at Lucy. 
"But ain't nothing hotter than watching two chicks in a cat fight." Vidaldus said. "Give me some cloth ripping, hair pulling, down and dirty action."
"You're a real sicko." Lucy told him, making him laugh.
"You know how to sweet-talk me, don't ya." Vidaldus asked her as he strummed his guitar.
"That baby is about to get the spanking of her life." Juvia called out before turning her body into water and rushing Lucy in a giant wave.
"Aw, I just changed clothes." Lucy sighed before Juvia appeared in front of her, still made of water; she laughed.
"We're going to have to work on your image." Juvia said as she approached Lucy, making her scream. "We can start by showing a little more skin." Juvia then ripped Lucy's outfit, causing the girl to scream.
Vidaldus laughed as Lucy covered herself with her torn outfit. 
"Juvia, you have to fight it." Lucy called out before Juvia attacked her again, drowning her in water as she pulled her hair and tossed her to the ground. "Come on, Juvia, I know you're in there."
Vidaldus laughed as he continued to strum his guitar. 
"I like what I'm seeing, but we're going to need more screams." He called out as Juvia smiled; she then made a whip from her water and started to hit Lucy with a hit knocking the girl down.
Vidaldus smiled as he stopped playing his guitar. 
"That's more like it." He screamed. 
"Pure sounds of rock and roll." he laughed to himself as Lucy tried to stand up. "Don't stop the cat fight now; fight like you're fighting a man that rocks your world."
"Oh shit." Lucy muttered as a dark aura surrounded Juvia.
"She wants Juvia's man." Lucy swallowed a lump in her throat as Juvia charged her again, drowning Lucy in her water body.
"I don't even like Gray." Lucy screamed before she was submerged 'it's hopeless' Lucy thought to herself. 
'I can't beat Juvia.' Lucy looked around. 'That guy has her completely under his spell.'
"Lucy," a voice called out, "can you hear me."
"Juvia," Lucy called 'I can hear her,' Lucy thought to herself.
----[## Fairy tail main theme, slow ver. ost##]
----"I'm sorry," Juvia said again. "I can't control my actions; I don't want to hurt you," Juvia told her, "cause I consider you my friend," Juvia told her. "I know we've had our fair share of arguments 'cause we're both madly in love with Gray."
"Yeah, no," Lucy said.
"but in a short time, I've known you," Juvia admitted. "I've never felt more alive," Juvia realized. "Before I met you, I never knew what it was like to laugh or have people with you can trust," Juvia said, "you and your friends are like rays of sunshine, and I wish to be part of that."
Lucy felt the water grow warm " She's crying," Lucy thought, 'Even under all this water, I can feel the warmth of her tears."
Vidaldus Laughed again, bringing Lucy out of her thoughts. "All right, Juvia, time for the final."
Juvia then spun around, knocking Lucy out of her water body. Lucy Juvia laughed, "It looks like you are going to hell, all right."
Lucy stood up. "We are friends, Juvia," Lucy called, which caused the girl to stop. "I know you're in there and believe you are a good person."
Lucy's words brought tears to Juvia's eyes as Vidaldus laughed, "As much as I love the mushy stuff, it's time to end this," he strummed his guitar, and Juvia lost control again.
"Juvia's water cyclone will tear you to shreds," she called out. 'Lucy, get out of the way.'
Lucy smiled as she pulled out one of her keys. "Don't worry. I have a plan," Juvia then charged Lucy, who then managed to use her key to stop her "{open gate of the water bearer: Aquarius"}
"wait, she opened a gate," Juvia thought, "using Juvia's body."
"Wherever there's water, I can use it to summon Aquarius," Lucy explained as Aquarius appeared, looking more than pissed, which caused Lucy to jump back in fear.
"I come all the way here for you, loser" Aquaresis then unleashed a column of water on everyone filling up half the room.
"so much," Lucy said as the water swept her away.
"Water," Juvia finished as she was swept away.
Vidaldus laughed as he began to suck up the water. "Didn't I tell you? Water is great for my hair."
"Juvia," Lucy called out as she managed to swim to the top.
"I'm here," Juvia called out behind her. Juvia reached out her hand as Lucy ran towards her. The power started to grow as the water around them increased.
In Jellal's throne room, one of his pieces cracked. He looked over, shocked, "don't tell me they fused their power," he said, standing up, "it's a unison raid."
In the room, Vidaldus started panicking from all the water in his hair. "Wait, I was just kidding. This may be a little much," Vidaldus called out as Lucy and Juvia shot the water at him, sending him into the ceiling, leaving a body imprint. He fell. "Wicked," he called out before he fell off the roof, his hair falling off two.
The two girls stood up as Vidaldus landed on the floor unconscious "We did it" they screamed as they hugged each other.
"Thanks, Juvia," Lucy said.
"NO, I should be thanking you," Juvia said to her, "another girl has never been nice to me before."
The moment was interrupted as Aquarius appeared behind them, still mad at how Lucy had summoned her. "Listen, here, girly," Aquarius said, "don't ever summon me like that again" She glared as Lucy nodded in fear.
"I'm going to have nightmares about that for a while," Juvia moaned.
"if I find myself coming out of a toilet, in a public restroom, you going to regret it," Aquarius said before leaving. "Oh, and I'm going on vacation with my sexy man, so don't even think about calling me!" Aquarius told her.
"Sure, whatever you say," Lucy told her.
"you'll understand when you get a man," Aquarius chuckled, "like that'll ever happen," she said before leaving.
"Hey, I'm single by choice," Lucy shouted as Juvia patted her shoulder.
Lucy then lay down. "Man, we just took down a member of Trinity Reaven," Lucy exclaimed, "bet Jellal didn't expect that."
"I didn't do much," Juvia told her.
"That's not true," Lucy told her. "You were there for me," Lucy said, "and supported me when I needed help" Lucy smiled warmly. "That's what friends are for."
Juvia smiled as more tears fell on her face. "If there wasn't enough water in here already."
"It's okay," Lucy told her as she laid her head back down. "What do you say we rest for right now" Juvia sighed,
"Sure, why not."
----In his throne room Jellal knocked over another piece "A unison raid' he thought to himself ' magic skill so advanced that monks have studied for their entire lives and never mastered it."
----[##Jellal theme##]
----"Well, consider me impressed," Jellal mused. "Now I know not to underestimate Erza's friends again.
----In the Era, the magic council still discusses whether they should fire Etherion. "As it stands, we have four for firing Etherion and five against," Org said, " so Etherion will not be fired."
"You fool," Siegrain shouted, "Jellal gets closer to raising the dead each time we waste doing this."
Org sighed, " I'd advise you to watch your tone," Org told the young wizard, "we believe it may be possible to gain a peaceful solution."
"you can't," Siegrain told them. "I know my brother," Siegrain said, "he won't stop till he brings him back."
"who," Org asked.
"Yes," Michello asked, "stop beating around the bush and tell us."
"I know you've all felt it," Siegrain said, "the dark energy in the air," Siegrain said. "I dared not speak his name, but" Siegrain sighed, "he's trying to resurrect Zeref."
The entire room fell silent as Org looked at him with the continent above them. Makarov and Cosmo both had looks of horror on their faces. Next to them were several thought projects, but shadows covered their faces; however, both could feel the presence of the name on the room.
"Are you sure?" Org asked, his voice finally cutting the silence.
"Yes," Siegrain said, "such is the bond between twins."
----In the tower of heaven, Natsu and Fukuro went blow for blow Fukro launched a kick at Natsu, who managed to dodge "{Fire dragon: talon}" Natsu shouted as he kicked the owl into another cage; he stood up and fixed his head.
"Sorry to disappoint," Fukuro said.
"he's going blow for blow with Natsu," Happy called out.
"I'd expect nothing less from a member of Trinity Reaven," Simon said.
"Now, it's time for the hammer of justice," Fukuro said as he got ready to attack again "{Rocket}" The jet back then detached from Fukuro and tried to ram into Natsu, who jumped out of the way.
Nice try, bird brain," Natsu called before he looked back. "Oh shit," he called out before jumping out of the way again as the jet spun in circles.
"arms extend," the birdman called out as two arms extended out and grabbed Natsu, who was pulled up to the jetpack before long; Natsu was flying around in circles. "Weaken your prey before you go in for the kill," Fukuro said as Natsu started getting sick.
"what," Simon said.
"oh no," Happy said, "transportation, Natsu gets terrible motion sickness."
"Now," Fukuro called out, "time to go for the kill" he then jumped from where he was standing "{capture}," he screamed as he then started to eat Natsu, shocking both Happy and Simone.
Gray ran down the hall ' I can't believe this,' he thought. 'I need to hurry up and find Ezra' Gray jumped off a ledge and landed in the room where Simone and Happy were.
"What is that thing," he asked as he saw Fukuro, "and what's it doing to Natsu."
"You're here," Simone said as Fukro then swallowed Natsu.
"oh no," Happy called out, "he swallowed Natsu whole."
"Not only are my prey yummy, but I also gain their magic power as well, oh-ho," Fukuro called out; he now had pink hair, and his owl-like eyes had turned white, giving off a similar glare to Natsu's.
"give him back," Happy called out as he tried to attack Fukuro.
"{Fire Ho Hou}" Fukuro shot a column of Fire at Happy, knocking him down.
"Happy," Gray called out.
"Impossible," Simone said, "he somehow gained Salamander's magic power," Simone said, "their strength combined is terrifying."
"Weren't expecting that, now where you are," Fukuro bragged. "Now for the finishing blow," he shot another blast which knocked the cage down.
When the smoke cleared, Gray appeared and grabbed onto the chain with Happy in hand.
"damn," he said, "that's Natsu's fire, all right," he turned to Simon. "Hey, you, I thought you were going after that Sho guy to rescue Erza," Gray asked.
"I was," Simone said, "then this thing showed up."
Gray sighed and jumped down. "We don't have time for this," Gray said as he sat Happy down. "If we don't hurry, Erza could end up being Jellal's sacrifice," Gray said. "I don't doubt she can beat the guy, but she's helpless as long as she's in that card by your psycho friend."
"I'm sorry," Simon told Gray, "I thought he could handle the truth, but I was wrong."
"Gray," Happy moaned, "Natsu needs you."
Gray smiled at this as he stood up. "Man, you sure have a knack for getting into trouble," Gray said, "I'm only doing this cause I owe you one."
Fukuro's stomach bounced up. "The digestion process has begun," Fukuro told him, "in a mere ten minutes, I'll be able to use Salamander's power to bring you to justice."
"I wouldn't count on it," Gray told him "{Ice make: Lance}."
Fukuro laughed before countering"{Fire dragon: Roar}" he shouted using Natsu's attack; he sent out a large column of fire that melted all of Gray's ice and struck him.
"Gray," Happy and Simon called out.
"Your friend was much more powerful than you realize," Fukro said. "Your Ice is no match for his Fire."
"Gray let out a scream of pain as the fire consumed him, his mind flashing back to a few days before they became a team.
Flashback
Gray had been walking when he saw Erza sitting by a lake; he walked over to say high, but what they said was shocking was her crying.
"You all right," Gray asked as Erza turned to see him before wiping her tears away. "It's nothing. I'm fine."
"You are sure," Gray asked, sitting next to her, " you want me to get Lucy," he asked.
"No, I'm fine," Erza said as she looked into the horizon.
[##fairy tail main theme slow ver. ost##]
Gray let out a sigh before facing the redhead wizard. "If you ever need anything, don't feel ashamed to ask us for it" he stood up and saw Natsu and Lucy walking up to them. "We're friends and a team now" Gray turned back and extended a hand. "We'll always have your back no matter what."
Erza gave off a weak smile before standing up. "I know, it's just," she looked away. I've never felt more relaxed here.
A hint of pink came onto Gray's face as he looked away. "Well, come on, let's get back to work, shall we."
Erza laughed, "But first, you should put on some clothes."
Gray looked down before muttering, "damn it" he then walked off to find his clothes.
End Flashback
Gray smiled as he froze all the fire in the area, shocking Fukro. "Natsu Flames can get way hotter than that," Gray told him, "but I expected no less from a poser."
"I don't believe it," Simone said.
"Your strong," Fukro said, "maybe I should capture you too," he then tried to eat Gray; however, before he could, Gray froze his mouth, causing him to jump back in shock.
"We don't have time for this," Gray said. "We have more important things to do," Gray jumped again. "Erza, don't worry, we're coming," Gray shouted as he attacked again, only to be knocked back. "Get outta my way," Gray called as he activated his magic gain. Two blades appeared on his shoulder " {Ice blade: seven-star dance}" Gray shouted as he struck Fukro down, causing him to regurgitate Natsu and land behind Gray.
"he beat him," Happy called out.
"I finally understand why she wears armor," Gray said as he landed. "She does it 'cause she thinks it's the only way to keep it from breaking," Gray sighed, but it doesn't stop the pain."
Happy ran up and hugged Natsu. "Natsu, you're okay."
"That was incredible," Simone said.
"I hope she realizes," Gray said, "her friends are way better shields than any armor she can buy," Gray said as he looked at Natsu. "As long as we're around, she'll never have to cry again."
----Meanwhile, the council finally decided, "We now have eight for and one against," Org said, "then we shall be firing an Etherion blast."
Siegrain smiled at this outcome as, moments later, the council chamber was abuzz as the workers moved around.
"The council reached a decision," Cosmos asked "etherion will be firing in one hour." she seemed sad, placing her hands on her cheeks. "What would the king think of this? I wonder," Makarov nodded as the other thought, projections left, leaving the two "to think they would try to resurrect the black wizard," she muttered, "is it possible."
"I don't know," Makarov said, walking away from the sounds of the magic council workers running around 'Yajima argued against firing as well," he said, "what do you think, child."
"I don't know," Cosmos said. "I think a full attack would be best, but," she said, "to fire Etherion. Where's the love" Makarov chuckled.
"I guess you have a point."
Siegrain sat in his office, Ultear next to him, before a knock was heard at the door. "Enter."
"excuse me for intruding," Yajima said, appearing at the door, "but I still am against firing an etherion blast," Yajima said as he entered the room. "A smart man like yourself can devise a peaceful solution."
"Yes," Siegrain said, "but the consequences of Zeref's return are too dire," Siegrain explained, "you understand, right elder."
Yajima sighed as he turned to face Siegrain, " I know," Yajima said, "but are you sure you can live with the burden of today's vote."
"Yes," Siegrain said "I am."
"This blast could kill thousands of people," Yajima shouted at him, "even the life of your brother," sighing before turning completely around. "I hope you know that the deaths of all these people are solely on your shoulder."
"Siegrain nodded " I know," he said, "and I'm willing to do what I must."
In the tower of heaven, Jellal smiled, "your move," he said, smiling, "cause soon the light will come crashing down."
