"You are a bad boy, you know that?" Shizune said, bending down to be at eye level with Gray. "I don't care!" Gray yelled. Shizune immediately jumped back. As both his hands were free, he could attack her as he wish.

"Ice Make: Swords!" Hundreds of swords surrounded Shizune. "Oh my." She said, readying her sword. She stuck the tip of her sword at one sword, and all of the swords immediately disappeared. "W-wha-?" Gray was surprised.

At the tip of the sword was a wide mouth filled with razor sharp teeth. "Meet my sword, Satsuki. She's cute, isn't she?" Shizune rubbed the sword edge lovingly, resulting in an affectionate purr from the sword. The gooey floor began to turn more watery as she continued to pet it. Suddenly the building rumbled again and Shizune sighed, "Let's end this quickly, shall we?" She pet it once again.

She jumped really high, somersaulted in the air, then landed behind Gray without so much as a sound. Gray suddenly felt a tickle on his arm as the sword nibbled it. It didn't hurt, and Gray didn't really feel any changes in his body. But the sword looked suspicious, so he hit it, "Get it away from me!"

The girl yelped when the sword was hit, and pulled it away from him, rubbing it comfortingly. "You shouldn't do that! Now it's gonna hurt a lot more." She immediately made some large slashes on Gray's back, making his blood pour out. The sword purred. "Now, suck all his blood out, Satsuki."

After she said that, Gray could not longer feel the sticky warmth of the blood on his back. He glanced at the wound left by the sword on his arm before, and saw that the blood that was dribbling out before was being sucked backwards like a vacuum cleaner. "Ice Make: Shields!" Gray weakly said. But no shield came out. Gray stared at his hands bewildered as Shizune raised her eyebrows, "It's no use. Satsuki was eating your magic before. And once she ate it, your puny little magic won't be replenished again forever, she had eaten the core!"

"WHAT?!" Gray was taken aback. Won't be replenished again forever?! Not to mention of this continues he could die of blood loss.

Shizune walked closer to him and Gray took his chance to take the sword away from her and tossed it away. It immediately became still like a normal sword. Shizune rushed towards it, and bumped into a glass shield. "W-wha?"

Gray grinned weakly, "I have a second origin you know." He fisted his palm and the glass shield coiled around her tight. The floor was slowly hardening, and Gray took the chance to jump out by putting his hands on the already hard floor. "Now it's payback time."

The wall was slowly hardening, and Natsu burned up his back to push him out of the wall. Tora's punch, which was aimed at Natsu's head, hit his right shoulder instead, where his guild mark was located.

"AARGH!" The punch didn't really hurt, but it burns so much Natsu felt like his shoulder was pricked with thousands of blazing hot needles. Natsu glanced at his shoulder and noticed that the guild mark had turned from red to black, and his right arm felt numb. "Ahahaha! Feel my curse!" Tora laughed at Natsu's expression.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY GUILD MARK?!" Natsu roared and aimed a punch at him.

Tora dodged it, "Be thankful! I'm actually giving you powers!" Natsu's punch hit the wall behind Tora and the wall broke, revealing a pink room. "Uh oh. You just expanded Sera's area." Tora said in an annoying voice.

Lucy heard the fight next door, and when the wall broke, Lucy looked up with hope filling her eyes. But what she saw scared her. Natsu was standing there, between the rubble and dust, panting, with half his body black, his right eye glowing red. It looked like the black was originating from the guild mark, which was outlined with a glowing red line. The black seemed to want to consume all of Natsu.

Their eyes met, "Lucy!" Natsu exclaimed, then fell to the floor, unconscious.

Natsu! Lucy wanted to scream, but without her tongue, speaking was very hard, nevermind screaming, but a little did come out. Seraphine sighed in annoyance, got up, and approached Tora. "Couldn't you do it quietly?!" She scolded him. "And giving him the curse, are you crazy?! Morgan's gonna have your head!"

Tora shrugged while grinning, "Well, it's the fastest way to deal with him." Seraphine sighed again and raised her arm, as if choking somebody. In turn, the ground rumbled and formed a large hand, gripping Natsu by the neck. Natsu! Lucy cried. She didn't even know she cried until a salty tear got in her mouth. Natsu just hung there helplessly.

Someone, anyone, help us! Lucy silently prayed, looking up while crying. The black on Natsu spread even more, covering 2/3 of him. Suddenly Natsu recovered and gripped the big hand, both his eyes black with glowing red pupils. He easily smashed the big hand, landing on all fours like an animal. He panted, and the black totally consumed him, leaving cracks of glowing red lines all over his right arm.

"Your curse is working." Seraphine said, holding her hand which was bruised and red. Apparently, attacking her big hand also hurt her normal hand.

Tora looked absolutely thrilled. "I've never seen a curse this amazing. He has talent." He said. Natsu panted and charged at them, and they easily dodged him. Seraphine threw a slice of bloody meat at Juvia, which landed on her back. "Fetch, boy." Seraphine ordered in her silky voice pointing a finger at the meat.

Natsu's head immediately turned around and he charged at Juvia. The meat was stuck to her back, and Natsu ragingly tore off the meat, along with her coat and flesh.

All Lucy could hear was Juvia's screams.
