Mirajane, Cana, and Juvia stared in awe at this sight. How and why did "Mystogan" come here? He still wore various items of clothing to cover his face and carried the Magical Staves. However at the moment he was employing his Heavenly Body Magic. But thank god he showed up, even though the enemy forces were depleting their own magic supply was too.

"Mirajane, how much longer do you think you can maintain this form?" "Mystogan" asked.

"I think I've got a few more minutes left," she responded in her Satan Soul: Halphas form, known for its otherworldly speed and destructive power.

"That should be enough. You, Laxus, and I will thin their numbers and round them into a small area where Cana and Juvia can deal the finishing blow… I see Gajeel is dealing with something else."

"Wait Jellal, if you're here then what is Meredy doing?" Juvia asked.

"She told me she could stay with Lyon and Lamia Scale."

"Meredy, and Lyon?"

Juvia sighed with delight as she begin to imagine what could happen from this.

Juvia's Fantasy

"Meredy my senses come alive around you," Lyon romantically stated as he pulled her close.

"Oh Lyon, my cold emperor," she responded while placing a hand on his face.

"Juvia," Gray walked over towards her. "Seeing Lyon like this has made me realize, maybe I need a woman in my life too."

Back to Reality

Gajeel was currently engaged in combat with more than just a foot soldier. This man could fly with massive black wings protruding from his back, wore a black battlesuit with a raven-shaped mask that modulated his voice, and wielded a carbon-colored staff. He was very proficient in using it, as he blocked every one of Gajeel's attacks and put him against the wall.

"Not bad at all," Gajeel grunted while wiping blood from his mouth.

He charged back at him with an Iron Dragon Club. His opponent continued to toy with him and block them with ease while spinning his staff extravagantly, enraging him. Gajeel then used that to his advantage. He got himself in close, and since his opponent was only paying attention to showing off while blocking his club, let loose an Iron Dragon's Roar right in his face.

The immense force of it blew him straight to the floor. Additionally, the metal shards tore apart his wings, rendering them useless. They faded away as he figured he wouldn't need them. Gajeel saw this opportunity and dove downward at him. The sounds of metal colliding could be heard once more as they tried to land strikes on each other.

"You've improved exponentially Gajeel," the Black Vortex member stated.

"Who even are you?" He rudely inquired.

"Right now you can refer to me by my codename, Nightwing."

"Cana and Juvia, you two charge up and we'll get them into a compact area. Once we do let it loose," Laxus commanded.

They both nodded in response. Mirajane was the first to take initiative and flew at speeds undetectable by the human eye. All you could really see was a silvery-blue blur and enemy soldiers being incapacitated.

"Want to see who takes out the most of them?" Jellal joked.

"You're on," Laxus boldly answered.

They both charged with bright yellow energy then took off. Jellal using Meteor, Laxus using Lightning Body, and Mira in Satan Soul: Halphas, is an absolutely terrifying trio of immense speed. In what seemed to be only 30 seconds the enemies' forces were cut by half.

"Alright Juvia you ready?" Cana asked.

"She's not gonna be doin nothing," a female voice announced as a projectile flew by and cut Cana's arm.

Cana turned to the source of the sound and threw a Shurikan Card. She never misses throwing only one. However, she heard the sound of a coin flip and saw the card practically avoid its intended target. Another coin was tossed with tremendous velocity. It would've sliced through Juvia if she hadn't used her water body.

The attacker was a dark-skinned woman with short curly hair styled into a mohawk. She wore a tan jacket and big black boots.

"We've been specifically instructed to take her," she claimed.

"And who the hell are you supposed to be?" Cana interjected.

"Name's Chance."

"Juvia you take care of the soldiers. I guarantee Jellal, Laxus, and Mira will take care of enough of them to where we only need you," Cana then stared at Chance with a lowered brow and a confident tone said, "I'll take care of this piece of trash.

This time Cana threw burning cards at her. Chance flipped her coin and again the cards avoided her. This time Cana quickly sent another attack. She combined three cards in her hand, and multiple icicles surged outward. Chance had enough time to flip her coin again but the attack succeeded, freezing her from the neck down. Cana walked over to begin an interrogation.

"So who the hell do you think you guys think you are?"

"You're fighting on the wrong side."

Cana raised a brow at this statement. She was going to ask why until Gajeel's and another's bodies crashed in towards them. She dodged out of the way, but those two collided with the block of ice. It shattered and the three of them laid in a heap.

Meanwhile, the enemy soldiers were begging to retreat. The speed of Laxus, Jellal, and Mirajane was too much to handle. Most of them heading towards the door were taken down by scythes made of water.

"Let them leave Juvia," Jellal stated then smiled. "I already got more than Laxus so I've had my fill."

Laxus yelled out saying he definitely took down more of them. Gajeel wasn't about to give up though. Unfortunately for him, Nightwing and Chance disappeared without a trace. Cana had no idea where they went either. At least it appeared to be a victory for Team Fairy Tail B. There was some destruction of the facility but they're Fairy Tail so it was expected.

"Oh thank goodness you took care of them," Nethune praised. "It seems they jammed our communications."

"So that was Black Vortex," Laxus said. "They weren't that tough."

"Their foot soldiers are nothing special, but neither are ours. We were just lucky only two of their most powerful members showed up… And held back in terms of magic power."

Gajeel complained about his opponent not even fighting with all of his strength. They continued to discuss the battle and the results. Thankfully there wasn't too much damage. Nethune then made them an enticing offer. The island, Vrochis Nisi, was hosting its annual Founder's Ball, and they were all invited.

"I can arrange escorts of course," Nethune coquettishly added.

"We'll pass on that," Gajeel scoffed.

At the Fairy Tail guild hall, things were as rowdy as always.

"AHAHAHA!" Natsu loudly laughed. "So you're tellin me the two biggest jerks in Fairy Tail are on a team together right now! Oh man they're gonna destroy everything fighting with each other."

"Like you, Erza, and Gray don't do that every other week!" Lucy interjected shaking her fists in the air.

"Actually Mira just sent me an update," Makarov proclaimed. "Our job is to produce weapons, got into it with Black Vortex today, Jellal came, and they were invited to a ball tonight."

Hearing that Erza darted over to him.

"Master, I request that I may go to this island as well so I may aid them in this fight. An entire dark guild cannot be taken down by a mere six people."

"Erza just wants to go for the ball and Jellal," Happy snickered, to which he was punted into the wall, RIP.

"Yeah Gramps I'll go too," Gray added. "I don't like how both of the messages you got from them said they were fighting an army."

"Calm down you two, the request specifically asked for them. So we'll let them figure it out. I have a strong amount of faith in all of their abilities," Makarov's tone then switched from a serious tone to a wishful one. "Now when they come back if we get Jellal to join our guild we'll be unstoppable!"

Back in the girls' room they discussed what happened during the battle. Cana asked Juvia if she knew anything about the girl who said they were going to capture her but Juvia said she had never even seen her before. They also pondered why a dark guild would tell them they're fighting on the wrong side.

"Do you think we've been unaware of the client's intention," Mirajane commented. "I mean we're creating weapons for them what if they want to go to war with somebody besides Black Vortex."

"Juvia highly doubts it. Nethune told her he's doing whatever he can to eliminate greed on this island, as in why we're receiving such a large reward. So they'd need money if they were going to fund a war. Now Cana, could you please put some a shirt and maybe some pants on?"

Mirajane and Juvia were busy trying on dresses they were given as options. Cana was just lying on the bed in her underwear.

"Oh come on Juvia ya know you love lookin at this," she answered while sticking her rear in the air. "Mira I see you're going with your bangs down tonight, you must be pretty excited."

Ultimately Cana went for sun-colored dress, Mira went all black, and Juvia wore seafoam green. All three of them radiated divine beauty and elegance. They met the boys in the lobby. They all wore black jackets and pants, Laxus went for an animal print undershirt, Gajeel did silver, and Jellal did navy blue.

"So what are we gonna do since piercings said no escorts?" Cana asked with a tone.

"I can go with Laxus," Mira volunteered to which he didn't really say yes or no to.

"I'll take Juvia," Gajeel added.

"Gajeel is so protective of Juvia!" Juvia excitedly said while covering her face with her hands.

"Alright then I got this hunk," Cana proclaimed while wrapping her arm around Jellal's. "So much can you put down?"

"Alcohol? To be honest I've never partaken."

"Are you serious?"

"Well I mean I grew up in a tower, got thrown in prison, and spent the next six years as a fugitive."

They departed from the hotel and arrived at the venue where the ball was held. It was quite the extravagant scene. The walls were painted a brilliant shade of white that gave the room a luxurious feel. Once they arrived they were immediately greeted by men who did whatever they could to dance with Juvia, Mira, or Cana.

"Excuse me Miss Juvia Lockser," a young man with dark purple hair asked while extending his hand.

However he turned his head away for a second. Once he looked back at her Gajeel already took her to the dancefloor. His face was angry and disinterested as always, but Juvia was extremely relieved she had a friend to help her in escaping men that aren't Gray. Cana immediately took Jellal to the bar. She was very intrigued by his stories about Crime Sorciere.

"You're joking!" Cana announced as she spit out some of her drink.

"I am not. She probably grew out of it when she was 16," Jellal answered. "But sometimes we would set up camp, and Meredy would say hang on don't look. Then just take a shit in the woods like a goddamn wild animal."

Cana almost fell off her chair from laughing so hard.

Mirajane and Laxus were busy on the dancefloor. Mira's expression was one of glee, while Laxus still wore a serious one. He, Gajeel, and Jellal made sure to not get too involved in the party scene and try to find out more about this island's government. Although Cana might've turned Jellal from a surveillance expert into a nuisance. They were swaying along the ivory-colored floor in rhythm, until the same purple-haired young man that approached Juvia.

"Miss Mirajane your beauty is as ethereal as ever," he said in a smooth voice. "May I request a partner change?"

She placed a hand over her mouth and giggled out of flattery. Laxus originally denied his request but then handed her over. He grumpily walked away to the bar while Mirajane swooned at this charming young man's bravado.

"So you're the eldest of the legendary Strauss siblings? Coincidently I've also mastered the art of Take-Over."

"Is that so? May I ask your name as well?"

"Yes, the style of your sister's if my intelligence is correct. Animal Soul. Also I go by Caesar."

Caesar had an arrogant allure to him. Yet his confidence was still enticing as well. His long dark purple hair was spiky at the top and flowing at the end. His outfit was entirely jet black. Eyes were such a dark shade of purple you could almost call them black. If he didn't have enough unique features, two earrings made of obsidian-like material hung down from each of his ears.

"There's no way that's true," Cana said in awe while downing another barrel.

"Ultear definily told me so," Jellal slurred.

"What's up with you?" She asked Laxus.

"I don't like the guy Mira's dancing with," he grunted.

"Of course you don't," she muttered back. "Come on lets go out there to keep an "eye on them." Jellal you can talk to the bartender right she's a redhead."

Those two headed out together while the bartender asked Jellal what he does for a living. Back to Gajeel and Juvia they were also interrupted by a guest. Instead of asking Nethune just extended his hand. His hand tightly clasped hers and pulled her in close by her waist.

"My my my Juvia," he commented. "Your eyes are certainly as blue as the great sea."

Nethune's blatant attempt to court her made Juvia blush. He was a dashing young man after all. His long silver hair was tied in the back and his bangs swooped down his forehead. While Juvia's eyes were the color of the ocean, his had a greenish tint to their coloring, but still appeared aquatic. His jawline was sharp, giving him a mature look. Juvia became flustered and her active imagination ran wild with thoughts of another man trying to lure her away from her Gray-sama.

"Would you mind coming with me for a second?"

"Oh no this is the part where he makes a move on Juvia," Juvia panicked. "Juvia will just have to tell him that he's a client and she can't get involved with him."

Nethune escorted her up the stairs at the front of this grand hall. He walked up to a location in the center of the second level where everyone could see. A microphone was conveniently placed there.

"Excuse me, I would like everyone's attention," He announced.

Laxus, Cana, Mirajane, Caesar, and every other couple in the ballroom abruptly stopped to focus on Nethune. Gajeel was at the bar with Jellal so Nethune took Gajeel's mind off of his hammered comrade.

"As you all know it is a truly special night for this kingdom, nay this island. I am ecstatic to announce the return of our princess, Miss Juvia Lockser."

Juvia didn't have any words about this development. She just stood there with a shocked look on her face. Her mind held no memories of this island or anyone on it. All she remembered growing up was rain and loneliness, not being royalty. After the formal introduction people flocked over to Juvia to congratulate her. Everybody on Team B remained where they were to try to piece it together.

"So when the hell was Juvia gonna tell us this?" Cana asked Laxus.

"By the look on her face I don't think she knew."

Mirajane's suspicions became especially high. First they asked them to manufacture weapons and build an army without putting it on the request, now Juvia is part of the island's hierarchy. There was still something missing about this whole situation that really offset her.

"Wow, Juvia Lockser is the princess of the island huh?" Caesar asked with awe in his voice.

He then turned his head and nodded at someone in the crowd. After the big announcement the rest of Team B met and conversed about this surprising development.

"Gajeel and I will ask her about it," Mira stated. "Cana and Laxus… You get Jellal home."

Jellal's arm was slung over Cana's shoulders to keep him upright. He consistently apologized for not being able to pace himself. Cana and Laxus tried to assure him that it's fine and that he has nothing to worry about.

"You know even though it's your fault he's smashed I can take him if you want," Laxus suggested.

Cana threw him onto Laxus, "Yeah fine prove your manhood or whatever you wanna do here."

"Usually people say 'no thanks' to offers like that," he grunted.

That night Gajeel and Mirajane tried comforting Juvia who was overwhelmed with different emotions. She had no idea where somebody would get the idea that she's a princess as she never even heard of the island before a few days ago. Mirajane did her best to console her while Gajeel asked her if she knew anything about this island.

Caesar was also doing something about the reveal. Afterwards he met up with a contact arriving in a dark magic mobile.

"It's been confirmed, she's the one we're after. How come we didn't stage an attack now though while they're vulnerable putting on a show?" He inquired. "I wanted to go at it with Gajeel again."

The interior of the vehicle was dimly lit, so all Caesar could see was his accomplice put on a sinister smile after that statement.

"Because where's the fun in that, Nightwing?" A cold and monotonous voice asked in response. "Besides it's only a matter of time before they find out what's really going on here. I'd be surprised if you and Gajeel ever fought again."
