Chapter 4: Ice
The barren grasslands looked peaceful. The stale yellow grass swayed in the breeze, rotten flowers littered throughout. Fluffy clouds were spread across the sky, in peculiar shapes that could be compared to anything in your imagination (Even that you dirty minded little-). A blue haired woman stared at those cloud for a second, before remembering her current predicament.
"Crap!" the woman exclaimed, as an Aggressive shot at her, but luckily he had really bad aim. "Stop shooting!"
"Well, if you want surrender, I bring you to my master!" the Aggressive grinned, "He nice man!"
"Yeah..." the woman said, adjusting the blue raincoat she was in, "Juvia bets..."
"You bet? You right!" the Aggressive chirped.
"Leave her alone!"
The Aggressive flinched, his eyes glazing over, before he fell to the ground, a massive shard of ice sticking out of his back.
"W-what?" the woman, Juvia gasped.
A navy haired man lowered his arm and adjusted his boxers, which was all he was wearing.
"Don't you need more clothes on?" the blunette blushed, it seemed she was in love!
"Probably," the navy-hair said, a smile on his face. He walked up to the woman and said, "I'm Gray! Who are you?"
"Juvia," the woman smiled, her face bright red.
"Well Juvia..." Gray said, "Will you travel the world with me on a romantic adventure?"
"Yes my love!" Juvia cheered as Gray embraced her.
"We will be together forever," he whispered into her ear.
"Juvia?" Gray frowned, waving his hand in-front of his lover's face.
"Yes Gray!" Juvia smiled, "We will!"
"Are you ok there?" Gray questioned.
"Juvia's sorry my darling, what did you say?" Juvia said, an embarrassed expression on her pale face.
"I was wondering if you needed to go anywhere?" Gray said awkwardly.
"Uh..." Juvia stuttered, "N-no, but can Juvia go with you?"
"Sure?" Gray said, "My car is about a mile away..."
"Oh..."
"Then we can travel the world together!"
"We can travel the world together my darling!"
"Uh... Sure..." Gray frowned, "We can travel the world if you want..."
"Juvia's creeped him out!" Juvia thought, "Juvia will never get him to love her now..."
"So... Let's get going," Gray said.
"Y-yes..." Juvia sighed, "We should..."
"You seem down all of a sudden," Gray frowned, "You ok?"
"Fine..." Juvia sighed.
The duo soon started walking through the dirty yellow grasslands, in the direction of Gray's car, which could be seen as a rust-bucket (Like another car in this fic...). And Juvia looked up at the person whom she was in love with.
"Gray?" Juvia stuttered.
"Juvia." Gray replied.
"What are those ice powers you have?"
"I've had them since birth," Gray said, turning his fingertips into ice, "Other than that though..."
"Someone else Juvia knew had similar powers..." Juvia sighed.
"They could use Ice too!?" Gray gasped.
"No..." Juvia sighed, "One could use the wind to heal, and the other could see into the future. They were around the same age. Probably twelve, or somewhere near that..."
"What happened to them?" Gray asked, "Why aren't they with you now-" then Gray realized. "I'm sorry."
"It's Juvia's fault..." Juvia wept, "She shouldn't have asked..."
"Let's keep going," Gray said, "I want to get to a city nearby before dark."
Juvia fell to the floor crying, "It's all my fault!" she sobbed.
"Hey!" Gray said softly, putting his hand on Juvia's hair, "I lost my master and friend to an out of control Aggressive. And I stopped dwelling on it! I realized that if I couldn't move on it would make me an easy kill for anyone looking for supplies!" tears were forming in Gray's eyes.
Juvia looked up at Gray, her face bright red.
"Now get up off the floor and move on already!"
Juvia smiled too herself, slowly getting up off the floor, "Let's go..." she smiled gently, realizing that she would only kill her new companion if she kept her head in the dirt.
"Come child!" a stern voice said.
Two figures were traversing a large barren field, both looked young, probably nearing teen-hood.
"But Charle!" a young girl sighed, brushing back her long blue hair, "I'm cold!"
"Juvia wouldn't want this!" Charle snapped, her white hair harshly reflecting the sunlight, "And Wendy, you can control the wind! Warm yourself up with an air current, just don't use too much energy!"
Wendy sighed, "Charle, stop using Juvia as a threat, we both know she's dead, and we shouldn't be using our friend against each other!"
"Then what do you expect me to do when you won't stop wining!"
"We haven't eaten in days!" Wendy wept, "I'm not even sure I can keep this up!"
"You don't have a choice child!" Charle snapped, "We might find somewhere soon... Well I hope we do!"
"So do I..." Wendy murmured.
The duo kept walking for a bit longer, before finding some tarmac, infested with weeds.
"A road!" Charle gasped, "If we follow this we'll surely find something food related!"
Wendy adjusted the small torn dress she was wearing, "And maybe new clothes..."
"Maybe..." Charle sighed, "We just have to hope we don't encounter any Aggressives..."
Wendy shuddered at the word.
"Don't look so startled child," Charle frowned, "You can defend yourself, but me on the other hand..."
"I know..." Wendy sighed, "It's just the last time we met Aggressives..."
"Juvia died." Charle said sternly, "Which is why were starving in the middle of the barren wasteland that is earth!"
Wendy's eyes started to tear up.
"Stop crying child," Charle said, looking forward, "We can't dwell on the past-" Charle's eyes glazed over.
"Charle?" Wendy said, shaking her friend's shoulder.
Two teens stood side by side, one of the teens had pink scruffy hair, while the other's was black and long. The pink-hair ignited his hands, while the black-hair turned his arms into iron swords, before charging at their opponent: A woman with scarlet hair.
"I not let you win!" the woman said, blocking both teen's attacks.
"Nah!" the pink-hair said, courage in his voice, "We'll beat you with ease!"
"Yeah!" the black-hair agreed, before they both launched a second attack.
"W-what was that?" Charle gasped.
"Charle!" Wendy said, "Did you have another premonition?"
"Yes..." Charle said, "But it didn't involve either of us... But two boys similar too you."
"What should we do?" Wendy frowned.
"Find them of course!" Charle snapped, "They could help us!"
"And whoever those boys are..." Charle thought, "they are in grave danger. That woman was a formidable Aggressive... That was the woman who killed Juvia... That was Erza Scarlet..."
Ma gawd Erza's evil!? I do hope your excited for that fight! Again, sorry for any problems with Juvia's speech making characters talk in third person is a lot harder than I thought... Anyways...
Have a gooday~ GajeelIsABadass
