"Gotcha!"  Gray exclaimed, his arms crossed in his Ice-Make pose.

Loren was caught in a column of ice, with everyone around her.  Wendy stopped using her Sky Dragon's Roar, while Lucy and Loke halted and Erza dropped to the ground.

"Good job, Gray!"  Wendy exclaimed.

"Don't be so sure; it's not over yet."  Loren hissed, and she pulled her arm free.

The Casting of Magic was grasped inside.

Immediately, Gray's ice transformed into water, crashing to the ground with a loud splash.  Loren followed shortly after, smirking as she pulled herself to her feet.

"She turned the ice into water?!"  Wendy exclaimed.

"Damn..."  Gray murmured.  "I was so sure that would work!"

Loren snickered.  "You think so?  Just because ice freezes water doesn't mean there is an advantage."

Lucy suddenly got an idea, and she gasped slightly.

Erza heard Lucy's reaction, and glanced at her.  "What is it, Lucy?"

"We have to get that bottle,"  Lucy murmured.  "It powers up her magic, right?  Well, if we destroy it, she'll be an easier opponent."

"That'll be her weakness."  Loke muttered in realization, getting ready to attack again.

They all whisered to each other their plan, and then nodded when they were certain it would work.

"Let's go, then!"  Gray exclaimed afterwards.

Erza and Gray charged forward first.

Gray brought his hands down in a wide arc as he jumped through the air.  

"Ice-Make: Lance!"

Millions of ice shards shot forward, plowing into the ground which was under him.  Loren, however, dodged them with incredible speed, seeming to slither through the columns of ice.  She jumped upwards, aiming for Gray, but Erza interfered and pushed her back to the ground, Erza and Gray also hitting the ground afterwards.  Loke joined the fight, a golden ring appearing  in front of him as his magic shot forward.

It almost grazed Loren's side since she had been off balance, but she was able to dodge it.  However, Wendy appeared, her mouth sucking in air quickly.

"Sky Dragon's Roar!"  She exclaimed, and magic shot forward to slam into Loren's front, making Loren slide against the ground in resistance.

"Why you...!"  Loren grunted, her eyes angered as she crossed her arms as a shield against the strong wind..

"Now, Lucy!"  Erza barked.

Loren's eyes widened as Lucy appeared behind her, diving for the Casting of Magic that was located on her hip.

In a frantic movement Loren tried to dodge, but Lucy's fingers grasped the end and Lucy pulled it from Loren's belt, flying past her.  From the momentum Lucy had made from running, she skidded across the ground before she came to a stop.
