Jellal and Erza, after they had stayed behind, tried to sense something once again but they couldn't notice anything.

Before they had decided to keep on walking, Jellal threw a last glance over his shoulder.

"I was sure I saw someone-"

He couldn't finish mumbling under his breath as a metal sound whistled through the air only to be met with the clang from Erzaz sword - drawn immedietely.

"Nice reflex."

A young girl had appeared out of the shodows - crossing blades with Erza. She smirked and pushed on Erzas sword but she didn't give in.

The girl eyed Jellal and chuckled, "Huu huu, that's another hotie."

He quickly turned red what revelaed his discomfort to her, "I wouldn't describe myself as 'Hotie'," - he mumbled again.

Erza gritted her teeth and stared at the girl, "Who are you?"

The blondes attention was once again on the scarlet haired girl.

"A distraction," she smiled. "Holy Edge: Script Bomb "

Erzas hand gripped tightly on her swords grip awaiting an attack but the girls sword only shone for a while and then it stopped.

"Huh?" Confused, she loosened her grip and in that moment, her sword started to shine with the same light - before an explosion came off from it.

The two mages flew backwards but managed to land on their feet.

Erza equipped herself in her Impanese Cloth and held on her new appeared katana. She drew it in the mages direction - "What do you want?"

The mage chuckled only.

"Are you Clara?" asked Jellal and went forward to stand next to Erza.

"No," she chuckled, "I'm Candy."

Erza noticed Candys wounds under her Kimono, "You're the one who Juvia attacked?"

"Ehh," the blonde let out a sigh and adjusted her kimono a little, to cover up her chest, "It's a shame I have to hide these now," she pouted.

"But Juvia got what she deserved. Usually Claras reckless ideas bring us trouble, but not gonna lie... that one was quite helpful." Candy laughed and also drew her blade in Erzas direction.

"Unfortunetly, Mother still needs Juvia. But she doesn't need you." She said but winked at the blue haired boy.

Erza walked forward. "Don't be surprised that you end up like this when you go meddle into other peoples relationships."

She jumped and stroke on Candy with her sword but the blonde blocked in time and replied with a laugh, "True. But if Juvia didn't came, maybe I would have had some fun with that Gray."

Erza summoned a second katana in her other hand and charged down at Candys legs but she quickly jumped up into the air but was hit by Jellal, who charged at her using his Meteor spell.

Candy landed on the floor with a thud, "Pleades" Jellal signed with his hands and soon six rays of light crashed through the ceiling and hit her.

When the smoke vanished, Erza adjusted her eyes to acknowledge the damage but to her surprise she was met with the sight of Candy, kneeling and shielding herself with her katana over her head.

"Nice one." She panted. Her kimono was torn up from the attack and the wound on her chest reopened - staining the clothes.

Shakily - she got up.
