After reminiscing, Juvia exploded into tears again. 

Erza pulled her into a hug. "It's ok. We'll complete our plan. We'll become stronger. We'll come back and destroy them."

"B-but Erza-san, you're already P-powerful!" Juvia blubbered. "Even more t-than the rest of us c-combined!" 

Erza gave her a soft smile. "Even I have far to go." 

"Oh, deary me, so sorry to intrude, but I can't have helped but notice that you were looking to become more powerful." A voice echoed around them. 

"Who-who's there?" Lucy asked, trying to sound brave, as the girls backed up into a clump. "I'm warning you, were mages!" 

A gentle laugh reverberated around them, not dark or evil, but soft, and kind. Then, a girl with jet black hair and maroon colored eyes stepped out of the shadows. 

"Who are you?" Levy sounded braver than she felt. 

The girl smiled. "My name is Kota. And I know what its like to be shoved aside by the one you love."

The girls eyes widened. How did she know?!

The now named Kota's soft smile hardened into a look of darkness. "I can help you there. I don't want to see others suffer the way I did." She walked over to a cut in the mountain that they never noticed and beckoned them to follow. "come."

They stared after her. 

After a while, Juvia broke the silence. 

"Juvia thinks we have nothing to lose." 

Lucy became serious, and she nodded grimly. "Well, Juvia's right."

And without another word, they followed Kota into the darkness.
