(With Juvia)

Juvia looked up over the figure behind her and saw the woman who had dulled Jacob's pain. The first thing she saw the Tartarus Guild mark on her left waist. "But I thought we defeated your entire Guild." She said through the shock.

Kyoka glared daggers at her. "You did. And now it's time for our vengeance." She said as she extended one of her claws and it lit up in a green energy. "I was hoping to find Erza but you'll do." She then lashed at Juvia with her extended claw as if it were a whip. Juvia didn't try to get out of the way because she knew the claw would simply pass through her water body. It did exactly as she thought and her water body was sliced in half. Then something she didn't anticipate happened. She felt the full pain of her body being sliced in half. Even though her body reformed, she was paralyzed from the horrible pain her body felt. Once the pain lessened, she looked up to Kyoka. "How were you able to hurt me?"

Kyoka chuckled. "My Curse pokes a hole in your pain receptors. Even if i can't physically damage your body, you'll feel all the pain of being ripped of shreds." She explained before sending another claw her way. Juvia dodged this one but then felt another source of pain from her back. It exited through her chest but she couldn't see whatever stabbed her. She looked back after getting over the pain and saw that it was Jacob Lessio who threw the invisible knives, and he had that jabbed rock still sticking out of his shoulder. "And with my master released I have all new powers. I can also dull an ally's sense of pain." She said to explain why Jacob didn't feel any pain from the rock.

Juvia got up and used another spell. "Water Jigsaw!" Juvia's water body broke apart and formed spinning blades of water. The Juvia's new jigsaw body made its way towards Kyoka. But Juvia suddenly felt strange. Her ears started ringing and her vision went blurry. It gave Kyoka the chance to jump out of the way without Juvia even noticing. Juvia just kept going and eventually slammed into a rock. Kyoka amplifying her sense of pain didn't help in the least. After her body reformed from the jigsaw, she feel over in pain. Her vision and hearing were only getting worse as Kyoka walked up to her. But she looked different now. She was in her Etherious form. She grinned and said something that Juvia could just make out despite the ringing in her ears. "The final effect of my Curse allows me to strip my enemies of their senses of sight and sound." That was the last thing Juvia heard before her vision and hearing completely went blank. Her sense of feeling was clearly still there because next Jacob and Kyoka began to torture her with Kyoka's claws and Jacob's whip. Juvia screamed from the horrible agony. Screamed for help. Screamed for Gray. Her prayers seemed to be answered when the attacks suddenly stopped. Juvia was confused and that confusion increased after she could suddenly see and hear again. It was still blurry but she could clearly make out Kyoka and Jacob standing a few feet away from her, breathing heavily as if they just recovered from an attack. Juvia also felt a bit strange emotionally. She recognized this feeling and looked down to her wrist to confirm it. On her wrist there was a pink, glowing mark like a shaped like a bracelet. It also had a small heart in the center. Juvia turned around to see a young woman with long, flowing, pink hair wearing a dark blue cloak with a red dress underneath. "Meredy." She said with relief.

"It's nice to see you again Juvia." She said with a smile. She held up her wrist to show a sensory link on her as well. "Don't worry. I'm sharing my senses with you." She said explaining why Juvia could see and hear again.

"So your magic allows you to share each other's senses?" Kyoka questioned as she got to her feet and extended her claws again. "That will make this so much easier." Then Kyoka whipped at Meredy who jumped out of the way. However, she was unable to dodge the bullet shot from Jacob's gun. It pierced her waist and she felt much more pain than she should have thanks to Kyoka's Curse. Juvia also collapsed from the pain. It felt just like the bullet went through her as well because of the sensory link.

"Juvia." Meredy called. "What's happening?"

"This woman has powers that can increase one's sense of pain." Juvia answered. That gave Meredy an idea. A pink light from her sensory link then shot out and hit Kyoka. Kyoka looked down at herself and saw that now she also possessed a link.

"What have you done?!" She demanded in an annoyed tone.

Meredy smiled. "I've linked our senses. Now I'd rethink increasing our pain if I were you, unless you want to feel the pain too that is. On top of that, if either of us die then you will be killed as well." Meredy then just stood there and waited for Kyoka to back down. She never could have imagined what happened next. Kyoka grew out her claws like they were swords and jabbed herself through the leg. Juvia and Meredy both fell to the ground in pain as they felt the claws dig into Kyoka's leg as if it was happening to them. They looked up expecting Kyoka to be the same but she was laughing menacingly. "How is that possible?" Meredy asked.

Kyoka looked down to her. "Pain is my stock and trade. You may find it unbearable but it's pleasure to me." She said while twisting the claws through her thigh causing them to scream in agony again. "What's more is that we have a resurrection lab. It doesn't matter how many times I die, I'll just come back." She explained before removing the claws from her thigh and placing it next to her neck, ready to cut off her own head. "But I imagine that when you die, it will be permanent." She was raised then claw ready to bring it back down when Meredy took drastic measures. She picked up a rock and smashed it against her own wrist and made a clean break. Juvia and Kyoka both experienced this injury as well. Once her wrist was broken, Kyoka's whole hand bent at an odd angle and barely missed her neck.

Meanwhile, Meredy and Juvia were both rolling on the ground from their own broken bones. They've already experienced so much pain it was hard to move. Meredy began to cry but it had less to do with the pain and more to do with herself. "I'm sorry Juvia."

Juvia looked over at her with confusion. "Sorry for what?"

"I've made things so much worse." She caused Juvia to break her wrist by linking them up and she'd given Kyoka a new way to kill them as well. She felt like everything she was doing was one mistake after another.

"Don't worry. I have a plan." She said before whispering the rest of her plan in Meredy's ear. Kyoka eventually got bored and grew out her claws again. She raised it ready to slice off her own arm and cause them even more pain. Right before it landed, the sensory link disappeared from her wrist. Her arm was still cut off but Meredy and Juvia felt no pain from it. Kyoka looked at them with anger to which Meredy smirked.

"Maguilty Transference." She said. Then the sensory link reappeared on Jacob. Kyoka deduced this was a spell that switched the owner of the sensory link. With that in mind, she undid her Curse and allowed Jacob to feel the full pain from the rock in his shoulder. He fell to the ground and eventually passed out from the pain. Kyoka looked satisfied with her work until she saw that Meredy and Juvia were still conscious. She looked down at Jacob's unconscious form and saw that his sensory link was blue instead of pink.

"That specific spell causes us to share only the same emotions. No physical effects at all." Meredy called out. She had tricked Kyoka into knocking out her own comrade. "Maguilty Sodom!" She shouted. This caused a series of glowing swords to fly out at Kyoka. She dodged them but it distracted her long enough for Meredy and Juvia to use their sensory links to their advantage so they could focus their magic power and create a unison raid. "Maguilty Water!" Their attack hit Kyoka head on and caused her to feel real pain. Not the pleasure she had spoken of. The water knocked her up against a near by boulder and the onslaught continued. Meredy and Juvia both reached deep within themselves. They gathered every last drop of magic power they could. This caused the attack to intensify. Kyoka screamed out in pain before their joined attack finally caused her body to give out. It just withered and dissolved into nothingness.

Meredy then felt a hand grip her shoulder and turned to see Juvia smiling at her. "Ultear would be proud."

Some tears of joy came to Meredy's eyes and she hugged Juvia. With their victory only four of the eight Demons that were resurrected remained. They had a fighting chance.


I don't feel too sure about this chapter so if you liked it could you let me know. Even if you didn't like it I'm always open to constructive criticisms.

By the way I watch the dubbed anime mostly. That's why Juvia doesn't talk in the third person.

So thanks for reading and I'll see ya next chapter ;)
