Chapter 25 Rain vs Ice & Lightning
"You....are you the same kid from earlier?"
Gray couldn't hide his look of shock. Seeing this, Lambo couldn't help but chuckle. However, he looked ahead and saw Juvia standing. Soon he began to speak to Gray.
"Yes, but now isn't the time to explain. After all, we got an enemy here. I usually want to stay out of trouble, but if Young Vongola placed his faith in me, I can't run away."
As Lambo said this, both him and Gray saw Juvia launch more of her Water Slicer spell. As the two men jumped out of the way, Lambo was gathering lightning in his horns as he nod his head towards Gray.
"Ice-Make:Arrows!!!!"
After first crafting a bow from ice, Gray forms multiple arrows from both hands and launched them at high speeds towards Juvia. However, the arrows simply phased through her body as she looked at Gray.
"It's no use. Your attacks won't harm my body."
"You're right. Mine might be able to....but his sure can."
"Elettrico Cornata!!!!!!"
While Juvia was distracted by Gray, Lambo stored electricity in his horns and charged towards the woman. The moment that Gray stopped attacking her, Lambo's horns touched Juvia and electrified her body. As the woman screamed in pain, Lambo dashed towards Gray's side.
"You made a mistake of hurting the friends of Young Vongola."
"That's right. It's too late for either side to back down. Lucy's our friend. The rest of the guild and I won't hand her over even if we die!!!!!"
When Juvia heard this, she felt as if the world came to a halt. Gray would give his life just to keep Lucy away from her and her guild. He was willing to give up his life for one woman. Only one single thought entered Juvia's mind when she heard this.
"......love rival........."
"I can't forgive this!!!!! I will never forgive Lucy!!!!!!!!!"
"Ow ow ow ow ow ow!!!!! Why is boiling water raining down?!"
As Lambo screamed in pain, Gray also felt the boiling water landing on him. While this happened, he saw the angry look on Juvia's face. As the woman charged at him and Lambo, the ice wizard quickly tried to defend them.
"Ice-Ma-"
Before Gray could complete his spell, the scalding water hit his body. He hissed in pain as he felt his skin burning. Just as Juvia turned around and try to strike Gray, the mage tried to defend himself.
"Ice-Make:Sh-"
"It's too fast for you to defend against normally. Dammit, why did Young Vongola have so much faith in a cry baby like me?"
Before Gray realized it, he was suddenly pushed out of the way. The sound of screaming entered his ears as the sound of thunder echoed from the sky. Lambo's body was struck with scalding hot water as he screamed from having his skin being burned.
"Lambo!!!!!"
"Hold.......it......in...."
As steam was in the air, Gray saw Lambo's figure standing. However, when the steam cleared, Gray saw Lambo's body had some burns on it. As he looked at his ally, he saw that Lambo was having trouble standing.
"Water Jigsaw!!!!!!"
Using her hand, Juvia creates a face-like entity out of boiling water, using it to launch beams of water at Lambo. As Lambo jumped back to avoid the spell, he smirked as he knew he had Juvia's attention.
"Going after me because I can harm you with electricity...smart move. However, you forgot that there's another man with an element that works well against water."
"Ice-Make:Ice Wall!!!!!!"
While Juvia was distracted, Gray slams both hands on the ground in front of him, creating a single tower of ice that froze Juvia's body within it. Seeing this, Lambo smirked as this was his chance to attack since he doesn't have that much time until he switches back with his younger self.
"Elettrico Cuoio...due to being struck by lightning on multiple occasions, the physiology of my body changed so that my skin can easily carry electricity and discharge into the ground, thereby protecting my brain and internal organs. But since my Elettrico Cuoio isn't fully developed, i'll still feel pain from getting hit with too much lightning. But......."
"Thunder Set!!!!!"
Soon thunder roared once more as lightning shot down from the sky and landed on Lambo's body. While Lambo screamed in pain, he was storing a large amount electricity into his horns. When he looked towards the side, he saw the look of concern Gray's face.
"Keep focusing on keeping Juvia frozen!!!!!"
Lambo yelled at Gray as he was absorbing electricity. The frown on Gray's face grew as he nods his head. While Lambo was gathering electricity, he began to think about Homura's words to him before they arrived into the battle.
"Lambo..........i'm counting you. Please, lend me your strength."
"Young Vongola was known for being weak, for being a loser. Yet he grew strong and moved forward. If a boy like that is able to change for the better.....then surely....then surely.....A CRY BABY LIKE ME CAN CHANGE AS WELL!!!"
Soon Lambo began to charge towards Juvia. While this happened, he saw the ice breaking apart. As this happened, Lambo merely screamed as he kept charging forward. He won't stop his charge. Even if he's blasted with scalding water, even if his body is screaming his pain.....he'll never betray the trust Homura placed in him.
"Take this......this is my resolve!!!!!! ELETTRICO CORNATA!!!!!!!!!"
"I will not....lose here! Sierra!!!!!!"
After gathering a large amount of lightning in his horns, Lambo was quickly charging towards Juvia. While this happened, Juvia broke free from the ice as her body became a mass of hot water as she lunged towards Lambo. The moment Juvia's body collides with Lambo's horns, Gray saw a large explosion of water and electricity in the area in front of him.
"Lambo!!!!!!"
As Gray rushed over to where the attacks collided, the steam was fading away. When Gray finally reached his destination, he saw Lambo on the ground but it wasn't the young man from earlier. It was the same toddler that came with him, happily sleeping away.
"Lambo-san....is the greatest....."
"I guess whatever effect that Bazooka had on him worn off. But where is-"
"I lost."
As Gray looked to the side, he saw Juvia lying on her back. A few sparks of electricity were seen on her. However, as Juvia looked at the sky, she saw no cloudy skies. She didn't see the rain that would follow her around. While her eyes were focused on the clear sky, she saw Gray approaching her.
"The clear sky....so beautiful....."
"How do you feel? Have you cooled off?"
A smile appeared on Gray's face. He defeated one of the Element 4 like Homura asked. Though it impressed him how the boy sending Lambo with him was a good idea. Soon the ice wizard thought of one thing as he looked at the sky.
"I'm counting on you, Homura."
~Meanwhile~
"Homura Sawada. A boy possessing no magic and a worker at the Fairy Tail guild. None for being absolutely hopeless, you've gained titles such as Loser Homura."
Homura was silent as he was stopped by Verde. As the arcobaleno spoke, Homura was about to ignite his X-Gloves again and fly forward. When he did just that, Verde simply hopped on the boy's back.
"Despite all that, word has spread that you, Homura Sawada, defeated the likes of Mukuro Rokudo. Not to mention the burn marks you left on Gajeel. At this rate, you may very well stop the Abyss Break."
"Shouldn't you be trying to stop me? You're on Phantom Lord's side, are you not?"
"Just because i'm around Phantom for convenience does not mean i'm affiliated with them. All I care about is gathering information and continuing my research. That being said, i've exhausted all the use I have for Phantom. Besides, he can do a better job of stopping you than I can."
As Verde said this, he jumped off of Homura as he then proceeds to leave the headquarters through one of his secret exits. While Homura wasn't completely okay with Verde running lose, he quickly stopped flying as he saw one man in front of him.
"How sorrowful......to come all this way just to fall. To defeat me in hopes of stopping the Abyss Break with only a few minutes before its completion...how sad!!!!!!"
In front of Homura stood a single man. He couldn't sense mana, but even he could tell this man was dangerous. Not only that, he matches the description of the man that caused Makarov to be out of the fight.
"Do you have any last words, oh magicless lamb? I, Aria of the Sky, will be your executioner."
"None. After all, the words i'll say next won't be my last. I hope you're ready to repent."
Remaining Number of the Element Four:1
Time until Abyss Break is complete:7 minutes
The clock is ticking as Homura is ready to fight with his Dying Will.
