"Phantom Lord will destroy Fairy Tail, then take over the next world over!" Totomaru exclaimed.

Natsu dodged another fire ball.

"What the hell could that mean?!" Natsu exclaimed back.

Totomaru froze in place and lit his whole body on fire. The flames mimicking a shadow.

"He couldn't do that before..."

"Natsu Dragneel! Show me your darkness!"

Natsu gritted his teeth.

Gray felt his lungs cramp from exhaustion as he ran through Fiore looking for Juvia. 

"What did he mean? Can't stop her from what?" Gray questioned himself. 

"Gray!" someone called.

Gray stopped in his tracks and looked around.

"Up here!" Another voice called.

Gray looked up to see Happy and Lucy in the air.

"Lucy and Happy?"

Lucy pulled her skirt down to cover herself from Gray as they landed beside him on the ground.

"Did you find Juvia?" Gray asked. 

"No, but we encountered Totomaru instead. He picked a fight with Natsu," Lucy answered.

"Another elemental four member..." Gray trailed off.

"Gray, what is going on?" 

"I wish I knew, Aria mentioned something about how Juvia can't be stopped."

"Stopped from what?"

"No idea."

Happy tugged at Gray's pant leg,
"What about the guild?"

"Lamia Scale came to help, a lot of us are too injured."

"Then we need to go help them!" Lucy spoke.

Suddenly, the ground beneath them started to rumble. Lucy fell to her knees as Gray stumbled to stay up.

"What the?!" Lucy said in shock.

The Fairy Tail Wizards looked up and saw a giant cloud of dust appear all along the Fairy Tail Guild Hall building.

"That's gotta be Jura," Gray sighed.

Gray reached his hand out to pick Lucy up off the ground. She lightly grabbed his hand as he lifted her up. The rain continued as they both turned their heads to face each other. There was a brief pause as they stared at one another. Lucy's left knee was bleeding from her plunge.

"Are you alright?" Gray asked her.

Lucy looked down at her knee, water trickling down her bloody skin.

"I'm sure I'll be okay. Thanks."

Gray bent down and inspected her wound. He ripped a piece of his pant sleeve off and tied it around her. 

"That should help a bit."

 They suddenly heard footsteps behind them. Gray and Lucy turned to find a figure staring at them from the shadows. Rain poured down harder, and a rumbling thunder echoed in the sky.  Gray felt a shiver up his spine.

"I-I'm cold?"

Lucy stared at the figure shaking in the rain.

"Drip drip drop."

Gray's eyes widened. The hair on his skin stood straight up and waved in the freezing rain. The shadowy figure stepped forward into the dim light.

"Juvia..." Gray sighed.
