The pump and the churn of the location's liquids and water continued as explosions occurred out of the rocky shelter as a young man rushed about the machines and fumbled with the works before a titan charged in and shouted. "Sir, power it all down now, the dark guild is bearing down in mass!"

"Just a few more minutes, I can get the source to calm down long enough for us to take it with us!" The titan rushed over and gripped the youth's shoulder as he shouted.

"There is no time!" The titan quickly hoisted the youth onto his shoulder, but the smaller being squirmed out and rushed back, the centerpiece lowering its glass and he gripped the sphere's object before shouts came.

"Over there, get them!" By instinct, the sphere was held out and the incoming blast of ice struck and the youth glanced between the two points before he dashed for it down a secret passage, the charging horde following in anger as the passage twisted and turned to confusion, but not to him as he continued on, spotting the way and dashing for it as he blocked fire, lighting, slung metal, and some form of Heavenly Body magic before he tossed the orb to his allies and he slid under the closing metal door and the titan shouted.

"We have to escape now, that door won't hold!" The youth and a similar female nodded as they dashed out of the small mound and into the open air, the ground behind them erupting in flame and explosion, the orb now glowing like it was going to explode itself, the group stopping in concern before the Titan grabbed it and hurled it into the air, its color performance great and powerful as it fired six bolts of magic and dropped to the ground, the youth walking over and tapping it to find that it moldered and he gripped his hand tight in rage, but it subsided as he stood back up and spoke.

"Mino, find us a location that will help keep us on the down low and with use our skills in medical and magic." The titan nodded and the youth turned to the female companion. "Frost, find out where those lights struck, we have to find out the effects of those beams and move on them before this gets out of hand." The girl nodded as she bolted to the direction with both the Titan and youth following, getting away from the attack of the Golem's Skull dark guild which caught them all off-guard...

Gray stared ahead as he thought of how he ended up with this, but that confusion faded to anger. 'That flame-for-brains, this whole joke is on him of all people, only he has the guts to make me this mad about something so trivial!'

"Gray-sama, are you okay?" His partner asked and Gray cleared his throat, thankful that it was just Juvia, but that was the problem as well as it was no secret that she was DEEPLY in love with him and was VERY likely to hit him with something to make him 'fall for her', but a simple mission of retrieval was made and Gray eased off his anger as they continued on.

"Yeah, just peachy..."

"You don't sound so fine..." Gray paused in his thought that she was right, his anger was getting the best of him and he could have hurt someone else in the village if it wasn't for Juvia's calming voice to his nerves. "You look ready to kill someone with a glare like that... Juvia is not comforted by it." Gray hardly needed to raised a hand to his face as it felt like it was putting on a permanent scowl on him and he breathed carefully and soon the look faded away as the Ice Mage explained.

"I am just... frustrated with Natsu, that hothead must likely rigged this up to get on my nerves." The words felt right, but he slid a hand over his face as he felt like he spoke of it like an idiot. A look toward gave him an answer that she just listened, she didn't mind the feeling as she brought her hands forward, clasped over her chest, as she hummed and nodded.

"I understand, you are just eager to harm Natsu for his pranking, but you don't usually get this agitated unless it is... that date." Gray looked to the side as Juvia spoke up once more. "Are you sure that you are okay really, Gray-sama?" She was right that something was off about today as he looked to the sky, pausing as he saw a bright bolt of light streaking toward them and Juvia caught sight of it as well.

"Juvia, watch out!" The bolt streaked straight for her so Gray jumped and tackled her to the ground as the bolt zoomed and tore up the ground behind them, Juvia's desires suppressed as both rolled into a combat stance and Gray carefully crept closer with fist in his palm, the aura of the bolt felt... strange as he crept closer.

"Be careful, Gray!"

"Don't worry, I got this!" He peered over the settled dirt and climbed over, releasing his form for a bit as he slid down a small hole and found the bolt, but it was taking on a form, Gray on guard as it soon finished and Gray dropped it as it was a young girl of five or six, her breathing shallow, as she laid in the crater exposed, long black hair cascading down with a blue tint as he slowly approached and lifted her up, Juvia coming down as well before she rested a hand on the girl's reddish face and the expression changed to slight pain as she comment in concern, removing her hand.

"She's burning up, she must have a high fever!"

"Then let's get her back to Magnolia, no sense leaving her here." She nodded and helped cover her up as the best of them ran for the town and headed on as a bit of the light changed to a flake of snow before dropping to the ground, soaking the soil a large more than a normal flake would cause...

The Fairy Tail's own doctor of Porlyusica rubbed her jaw in confusion on something as she examined the young girl laying in the bed, her voice huffing and puffing with a pack to bring the fever down, it looked like a normal case of fever, but it struck her odd as something else. She shared such a look with Juvia Lockster, except the hair that was a shade of black that she was familiar with from a certain, stripping Ice Mage that she could be an 'unknown' child of the two. 'Damn kids...' But if that was the case, they would have been more worried and they shared what had happened with the guild, involving some strange bolt of energy and she coming from it on their way back to the guild and town. She just was lucky to not have a smoke right now, that could worsen the girl a bit more as she shook her head, the mages coming and going before Juvia entered and she asked.

"How is she?" The change was not too subtle for the doctor to miss, the color changed and it sounded like her lungs cleared up some from the arrival that Porlyusica was surely doubting what even happened out there, it was like a indirect relation to her and the Water Mage.

"She has been stable, that is clear enough for idiots..." The elder woman stared off into the space between the wall and her as she continued. "She does have some form of improvement, but there is nothing too concrete yet." She glanced to the Water Mage and spoke. "Don't you have something to be doing here?"

"Yes, Master sent me to replace the flowers in the planters in this room, he had others do the same for several others across the guild." Porlyusica grumbled as Juvia replaced the flowers, but the distance also affected the girl as the fever returned in force with the shortened puffs, the woman's brow frowned to the change as Juvia spoke. "Well, that is that, so Juvia guesses that she will be on her way." The doctor made a choice as she glanced between the two, there was no room for a scolding.

"Stop, girl." Juvia paused, hand on the door to close it behind her as the doctor spoke once more. "I am checking something, come closer." Juvia nodded as the door closed and she walked over, the change also affecting the girl somehow as the breathing grew deeper, more clearer, and the fever looked near gone. "My work here is done, I have other patients to deal with, goodbye." With that, the woman stood up and depart, Juvia speaking up, but cut off as Porlyusica stopped at the door with a pointed finger. "Don't give me lip, you kids need to understand your responsibilities perfectly clear." The door closed and Juvia raised a hand to her face in confusion.

"What was that all about, I wonder...?" Juvia didn't ponder too long as she sat down and reached out, gripping the child's tender hand and bringing it close, the skin showing signs of improvement as Juvia watched, eyes widening as they gripped onto hers and she looked to see that the eyes were opening, their color the most amazing pink of coral she had ever seen as the girl looked to the side with a question on her mind.

"...Momma...?" With that, Juvia fainted on the bed, red in the face in embarrass somehow as the child dropped back down in fatigue...

The youth grumbled as he looked forward, there was no way that he was sticking his neck out in Magnolia, it was just asking the Council to come crashing down on him just for existing as he questioned. "Are you SURE that this location with serve as a perfect lab and stronghold?"

"No doubt about it, Sir." The titan spoke as he looked through the records and numerous other documents that have been compiled. "This shop has been closed down for a long amount of time and no one claimed ownership over it in risk of the hidden, underground floors into the sewers themselves, as if something vile and dangerous has been lurking under there." The titan scoffed as the two headed in, the giant ducking his head from hitting the top of the frame itself. "Needless rumors, the only real threat will be our..."

"One step at a time, Mino." The youth looked about and nodded to the disarray of the room itself, sizeable, yet narrow-pointed in cause of troublemakers. "This will have to do for now, let's get this place cleared up something furious." Mino nodded as the two began operations on the rooms themselves before the door opened, silent to the arrival, as the two turned to Frost walking in. "What's the report, Frost?"

"Slight trouble." The youth stopped as Frost continued. "All bolts headed this way, but closest one gone, was taken not too long ago and no clear thought as to where it is." A deep hum of displeasure rolled out as Frost asked. "Further search into Magnolia itself, Sir?" To this, the youth shook his head as he straightened up and turned to Frost, leaning on the counter which was cleaned within seconds by Mino.

"We don't have the time to work here and find the bolts of energy, we can only focus on one or the other." The youth shook his head once again as he stated. "Make yourself helpful for a bit, help clean up in here and you are going shopping with me so that we can find cloths, chemicals, drugs, medicine, and other materials for the clinic, is that clear?"

"As you wish, Master Mancer." The Mancer rubbed his temples as the girl began to work and he watched for a bit as he recited himself.

"It's Alexander Tidemanc, the Storm Mancer, not 'Master Mancer', just Mancer will do..." He continued his task and sorted through all of the things still remaining in the shop to see what is junk, worth something, or just valuable enough to sell for the correct price, the shop cleaned up in no time as the Fever's Clinic was soon opened for business for general medical aid and checks, nothing to compete with the older places, but worthy for the average person as a white coat was pulled up and Alexander did a routine measure to ensure that they were healthy, his still as healthy as he can keep it and make it, Mino's still a beating mass of blood, and Frost's vitals were remarkably well...for a girl recently risen from the dead of frostbite.
