The island made a snapping sound.

“That doesn’t sound very good”, Jenny nervously said.

“She’s sinking the island!”, Erza told everyone.

“We can’t let her. Everyone I need you help!”, Lucy said. “See those ruins?”, she pointed out the ruins of the pillars surrounding the island. “There’s a core in them that lets you concentrate your magic on them. We have to focus our magic in there to stop the island from sinking”, she explained.

“Really? How do you know they have those purpose?”, Erza asked.

“Earwyn Anidrew told me! It was part of his last magic creations for he knows something like this will happen!”, Lucy explained briefly.

“But they’re all over the place!”, Cherry said.

“Exactly”, Lucy smiled with confidence.

“Well then, I guess we have more to do here than saving Juvia, you think you guys can handle it?”, Jura asked.

“Looks like those two are”, Jenny pointed towards Gray and Lyon who were standing together in battling Juvia.

“You guys! We’ll leave her to you!”, Hibiki shouted out.

“Let’s do this everyone”, Eve chanted.

“Charle, take me South”, Wendy ordered.

“Alright”, Charle took Wendy and headed to their destination.

“I’ll go there too”, Eve said and headed there.

“We’ll take the west side”, Cherry, Nichiya and Ren said.

“Then I’ll take the East”, Gajeel smirked with Lily.

“Jenny, we’ll go East as well”, Hibiki said.

“Then I guess we’ll have to go up North”, Lucy said. “Minora, can you transport yourself?”, she asked.

“I can do it”, Minora said.

“Happy, take Lucy”, Natsu ordered Happy which the latter did as he was told. Natsu glanced at Gray one last time before running after Lucy and Happy.

“Wait Natsu, we’ll go through here”, Minora grabbed Natsu’s shirt as they were sucked inside Crucis.

“WHAT!! AHHHH!!!”, Natsu was sucked inside with a fading shriek of fright.

“Then Ichiya-dono, Erza-dono and I will go to the center of the island to balance everything”, Jura said.

“Men”, Ichiya said as they storm off.

“Gray, take responsibility”, Erza reminded him.

“You bet”, Gray just said.

“Be careful”, Lyon acknowledged then turned back to Juvia. “So the goddess is what we’re conversing with right now huh?”, Lyon asked Gray.

“Yes and no, and she’s as troublesome as the host herself”, Gray sighed.

“What? Oh Well, you do have a plan, right?”, he asked.

“I got a few”, Gray said.

“That’s good, I guess”, he said.

“Two Earwyns huh?”, Muriel’s voice echoed which made the two ready themselves.

Flashback……

“The most precious feeling, I found it”, a voice echoed the cave. The group looked at where it is coming from.

“Gray….sama”, a tear fell from Juvia’s eyes and dropped to the water. The Water’s Tear glowed brightly.

“Juvia Loxar….”, a voice echoed in Juvia’s head.

“What? Who are you?”, Juvia thought as she tried to look for the source of it.

“Juvia Loxar….you’ve got to help me”, the voice said.

“What?”, Juvia looked at the pond where the Water’s Tear was in. “Are you….”

“I am Muriel, the goddess of this island. I will tell you who I am. Please you’ve got to help me. In return, the Water’s Tear is yours”, Muriel said.

“How? What should I do?”, Juvia asked back. They needed to acquire the Water’s Tear so this might be the best choice.

“Help me control it using your feelings and resolve. You may be the only one who holds the same amount of feelings I have. For that, lend me your body and help me stop the Water’s Tear….I’m afraid that…..I’m being controlled by it…please….kill me with the Water’s Tear…I lost trust to the man I loved the most….I killed everyone because of the Water’s Tear so please….give me my redemption by killing me and destroying it…please help me”, Muriel replied.

“Eh?? But….”, she said. “Gray-sama….”, Juvia thought.

End of Flashback…..

“Earwyn?”, Lyon asked Gray for answers.

“That dude whom that woman is in love with years ago before she died”, Gray explained.

“So we’re that dude in her eyes now?”, Lyon can’t believe what he just heard.

“All men are Earwyn in my eyes!”, Muriel screeched.

“I hate to say this but I never thought I’ll fight that body you possessed as an enemy once again. But, I’ll say this to you first. You took the wrong body to possess.”, Gray readied himself for his attack. “Hey Juvia! If you can hear me I’m about to take you out you hear?!”

Muriel blushed despite the fact that Juvia’s consciousness is far from awareness.

“What the heck am I blushing for?! What’s with this weird feeling!!!”, Muriel held her reddened face. Her heartbeat was racing fast. “This man. Don’t tell me he’s….”

“Ice make! Hammer!”, Gray summoned an ice hammer behind Muriel. Muriel disposed of it using water waves.

“Ice make! Prison!”, Lyon created a prison to hold her in but Muriel just passed through it.

“This body is much more convenient to have than my previous ones which are all so weak”, Muriel smirked at them.

“I hate to say this, but she’s right! Juvia’s body is water itself. Everything we throw at her just passes”, Lyon said. Gray tapped his shoulder for a bit.

“I don’t think so”, Gray softly whispered. He was right behind her in an instant and froze a part of Juvia’s body from her right shoulder to her hands. Muriel tried to wave him off but it was too late. “Did you forget? You are inside Juvia’s body. That woman is made of water which basically freezes with ice magic. Of all the people, my magic works best with her. You lose Muriel”, he said with confidence. Muriel shrieked in anger as she glares at him, holding the hand he froze.

“I underestimated you too much. But, as long as I have this body, you will never attempt to kill me. So, how will it be? If I kill this body, I can just transfer to another, however, the one who will suffer greater loss is you. This body belongs to your friend right? Then I’m sure……”, Muriel was taken to shock to what had happened next. Gray practically sprang at her and frozen half of Juvia’s right body to ice.

“GRAY! What do you think you’re doing?!”, Lyon asked.

“That’s when you’re wrong, Muriel. No, you are the Water’s Tear aren’t you?. I can freeze you all the way I want without harming Juvia”, he softly whispered loud enough for her to hear.

“What do you! Then I have no other choice but to…..”, she tried to squirm. “Wha-? I can’t leave this body….why!”, she knew something was wrong. She can’t leave Juvia’s body. That’s when she realized something. Juvia was holding her down.

Juvia’s inner thoughts……

“Muriel-san. Sorry, but Juvia will not let you! I promised I will help you remember? Gray-sama is fighting and helping you too so Juvia will do everything to help him. Juvia will never let you go!”, Juvia shouted at her, holding her as hard as she can.

“Release me! Let go of me woman!”, Muriel squirmed inside, completely under the Water’s Tear’s influence.

“Remember yourself, Muriel-san. Remember your feelings for Earwyn-san. He never did betray you like you thought he did. He wanted to save you can’t you see that!”, Juvia cried out.

____________________________________________________________

“Earwyn….”, Muriel started to tear up but the Water’s Tear kept interfering her. “Betrayal, Hatred! Hate him! Kill them all!”, the Water’s Tear chanted to her.

“Why are you stopping me!”, Muriel screeched through her frozen state. She was completely overpowered by the Water’s Tear.

“I never intend to let you escape that body. Even if you make it bleed as much as you wanted, you will never leave that body”, Gray said with determination. “But before you do so, I’ll freeze you first”

“DIE!!!”, Muriel snapped and exploded the magic she was holding inside.

“GRAY!”, Lyon ran as fast as he can towards Gray. Gray was taken into surprise as to what Muriel just did.

“GRAY-SAMAAAA!!!!”, Juvia’s voice echoed despite all the explosions and waters.
