*****************************************************************

This was it. This was the moment that Juvia had anticipated would happen. She had been waiting for this day ever since she joined the FTA. And she did not plan on letting him win again. As she and Bora were consistently throwing punches at each other, she quickly glanced at the two magic-infused rings on his left fingers. Mira had given her a brief lesson about objects that can be rechargeable.

"For maximum durability, they must charge it a week in advance," Mira detailed when Juvia went over to the factory to refill her pill bottle. "My advice is to stall them as much as you can, forcing them to use them until they run out of energy,"

Juvia knew how easily Bora can fight without even using the rings so she had to threaten him in some way. As Bora attempted to get her off her feet, she quickly leaped backward, leaving a wide gap between them once again.

"Wow. Seems like you worked hard," He chuckled, cracking his knuckles and stretching his limbs.

"Does Master Jose control you?" She asked harshly, tightening her fists and digging deep into her fighting stance. Bora, on the other hand, cocked an eyebrow and placed his hands behind his head.

"Pft. As if. I chose to work under him for the cha-ching if you know what I mean," He smirked.

"How can you murder for money? YOU'RE SO SICK! " She shouted angrily. He just cackled at how furious she became.

"Little miss righteous, just like your mother...Master Jose couldn't stop rambling about that WHORE," Juvia pressed her lips tightly into a thin line, avoiding his eye contact. "What? So silent now-" Suddenly, a huge burst of water spewed out from the wall, smashing him to the other side. Once the attack subsided, he slowly got up from the ground. "You little bit-" He choked. Almost immediately, Juvia grabbed the sword and got in one good cut on his left arm, quickly backing away right after. "GAH! FUCK!" He cussed, getting up from the floor with a bleeding arm. She finally saw the glaring look in his eyes. He grinned slyly and started giggling like a psycho. "You really wanna play THAT dirty huh princess?" The moment she saw Bora lift his left hand, a blast of energy flew past her by the slightest. She started to sweat nervously and consciously made sure she missed every other one that came shooting at her like wildfire. "YOU CAN'T DODGE FOREVER PRINCESS!" He was definitely right as she noticed that her stamina wouldn't last for long.

"Juvia has to think of something fast," She whispered to herself. She surveyed her surroundings for anything she could use while she was actively in motion. Bora started to find it annoying that she was dodging his attacks so easily. He was definitely aware that his power was going to run out and so instead of trying to attack her, he directed the blast to one of the large boxes, causing her to trip over. "Ack!" He then targeted the blast to her, trying to quickly get up. "AHHH!" She wailed. She hunched over, trying to take in the pain from his magic.

"Pretty neat, right? It just sucks out all the magical energy from you in an instant," He replied, walking casually to her now frail body. He occasionally winced at the pain from his bleeding arm which he quickly patched up. She slowly turned her head, not being able to lift it. She had a view of his shoes, right in front of her. Just then, he lifted her body like it was paper, took the dagger from her leg, and pierced it into her stomach. She gasped for air, seeing the blood pouring out from her and splashing onto the cold concrete. "I was just gonna make it quick but after you got a couple of punches in and nearly chopping my arm off, I think I'll let you just bleed out," He then tossed her on the ground. She coughed, pressing her hands into the wound. Her lips quivered as she looked up at him who now started to fade.
