Last Chapter!
Natsu tackled Juvia just in time as the beam sent the death bed crashing into pieces. Natsu let out a pained yell and fell on Juvia. "Natsu-sama!" Juvia screamed frantically, practically ignoring that he was crushing her. "Natsu-sama did he hit you?!" Natsu struggled to get up, but the pain was too much and he felt his body constrict eliciting another yell. Juvia held his face with both of her hands and tried to hold his shaking head up. "Please stay with Juvia. Natsu-sama!"
Lucy stared in horror at Natsu and Juvia, Rogue entered just in time to see Natsu scream out again. Gray only looked at the two, practically frozen. "J-Juvia. T-The poison." Natsu tried to get off her again, but he was paralyzed. Juvia managed to sit up and looked at him in horror.
"Natsu-sama." She wailed out.
"J-Juvia…" Natsu had a pained look on his face. "I love you okay?" He yelled out again, feeling a horrible pain shoot through his body.
"Natsu-sama you're scaring Juvia!" She rolled him to the side and sat over him. "Natsu-sama stay calm. Juvia will make sure you're safe. Juvia promises." She couldn't even cry because of how scared she was. "Juvia is here." She leaned down and kissed him hard.
"No!" Gray erupted. "No! I was supposed to kill you! You whore!" He kicked Lucy hard in the stomach, and she cowered over yelling out.
"Lucy!" Juvia didn't know who to pay attention to, her husband or the woman who raised her.
"I'll kill you all!" Ice spread across the floor of the area, Lucy was held down by the ice shackles that suddenly appeared.
"You've caused enough misery!" Rogue yelled. His shadows burst out and he took out his sword. "Shadow Dragon's Slash"
Gray countered his attack and the two engaged in a swordfight. Natsu screamed out once again, but this time it was different. The poison was eating away at him, Natsu broke out in cold sweat, and Juvia held him tightly. "Natsu-sama… Juvia loves you. She loves you so much she can't have a life without you." His head rested on her lap. "Please stay with Juvia." She kissed his forehead, his cheeks, his lips; his entire face. There was a horrible feeling crawling its way up her spine.
Natsu started seeing double, then triple, then Juvia. That's all he saw, her worried face, and the tears that were cornering her eyes. He knew what was happening, and it wasn't pleasant at all. The poison was seeping away all his energy and numbing his senses. For that moment only, he zoned in on Juvia and ignored the clashing men and Lucy's screams. He focused all his energy in moving his hand, and grasped her hand shakily. His eyes bore into hers, and he gasped out his last words. "Thus with a kiss… I die…"
"Natsu."
His hand loosened its grip, before it slid out and hit the ground with a thud. Two tears exited his eyes and Juvia saw the fire behind his eyes, die out. Juvia went cold, she couldn't move, and she couldn't release her tears.
Rogue smelt it; he sensed it, the cold presence of death. He looked over at Lucy who was slowly being encased in ice, and his heart turned into iron. "No. This battle you will not win." The sheer force of his sword shattered Gray's ice sword. Gray glared at him. Rogue concentrated hard, he summoned all of his strength and the shadows gathered around him. Gray looked around as the black silhouettes made their way to their master; Rogue leered at him, his red eyes piercing Gray's. "Dragon Force Mode: Activated." A shadow went over to Lucy, and broke the ice that was holding her down. Lucy stood up rubbing her head until she saw Juvia.
Something inside of her set off seeing Juvia with so much pain in her eyes. Lucy stood up and went around behind Gray. Gray turned around and saw two blonde people standing before him. Lucy's hands glowed a yellow color and she summoned all her magical energy into the one spot.
It was like Lucy sent them into a whole new dimension. Everywhere Gray looked he saw stars and space. He looked up and saw Lucy's giant face giving him a stone-hard expression. Rogue and Sting were beside her, just as giant and both in Dragon Force. A whirlwind of magical power surrounded Gray and trapped him in, preventing him from using any of his magic.
"This is for our loved ones that have fallen." Rogue said bitterly.
"Your punishment is worse than death itself." Sting said harshly.
"Survey the Heavens, Open the Heavens… All The stars, far and wide… Show me thy appearance… With such a shine. Oh Tetrabiblos… I am the ruler of the stars… Aspect become complete… Open thy malevolent gate. Oh 88 Stars of the heaven… Shine!" Lucy's eyes opened revealing the rune circle that encased her whole eye.
"Holy Shadow Dragon's Flash Fang" The two Dragon slayers united together.
"Urano Metria!"
Gray didn't even stand a chance as the two super-charged spells hurled their way over to him, and disintegrated his body.
There was an explosion; Rogue and Lucy were transported back into their time only to see Juvia staring at them. Lucy stepped forward but collapsed, falling into Rogue's arms. Juvia looked back at her deceased husband.
"Poison," She said monotonously. "Poison has been the cause of his death. He drank it all, and left no friendly drop to help Juvia after." She caressed his cheeks, letting the tears fall.
"J-Juvia." Lucy was too exhausted to move, and Rogue was struggling to keep his own self conscious.
Juvia looked over his body again, focusing her eyes on the silver blade in his belt. "Then Juvia will be brief." She took the knife from his belt and set his head down on the ground. Juvia is coming for Natsu… Even if Natsu-sama doesn't want her to. "Lucy-chan… Juvia is sorry that she caused her so much pain… But she cannot live without Natsu."
"Juvia! No!" Lucy screamed and held her hand out to Juvia. "No, no!" Rogue couldn't react.
"Juvia's body will be this knife's sheath. Rust inside her body and let Juvia die." Lucy screamed out as Juvia impaled herself with the blade. She groaned out, the blood pouring over her hands and staining onto Natsu. She pushed it further, groaning out and putting her head on Natsu's chest. She draped over him, falling limp.
"Juvia!" Lucy cried. "N-Natsu!" She hugged Rogue and started sobbing hysterically into his chest. Reality slapped Rogue like a bitch, and he grasped Lucy, crying into her shoulder as well. "Rogue… T-They're gone!" Lucy couldn't hold the pain in her heart, and she gripped Rogue pulling him tighter.
"I-I can't… Believe it." Rogue cried.
They both cried… hard.
Lucy's POV
I looked up at the starlit sky of Magnolia; the heavens never seemed to look as bright as they did now, and the moon let its light illuminate every star in the cosmos. I knew things were never going to be easy, and tomorrow morning there would be a dark peace. Some will be pardoned, like Friar Marvell, Rogue, and I. Some will be punished, like Gray. Igneel and Jellal both agreed to end the feud after Rogue handed them the letter that Natsu wrote. I stared at the three lone graves on the hill by the oak tree, where I once saw all of them together. I looked back up at the sky, and couldn't help but see all the memories we shared etched into the stars. The moon turned orange when I exited that tomb with Rogue, it was like a sign to me, a sign that you guys were okay. The kingsmen were interrogating us for a while, and everything was cleared up with that letter. Thank you… Natsu. You brought joy to my Juvia and made her a happy wife. I'm glad you two can be together forever now. I smiled widely.
"Take care of her, Natsu-kun." A fresh breeze passed its way through my hair. "And watch over them both, Sting-kun." I blinked away the tears cornering my eyes.
"Lucy-chan. Are you coming?" I turned around to see Rogue waiting for me by a carriage.
I smiled again. "Yeah! I'm coming!" I ran down and grabbed Rogue's hand in my own. We smiled at each other and took one last look at the three gravestones. "Ready?"
Rogue grinned. "Ready."
We entered the carriage and stared out of the window as the gravestones slowly became more and more distant, a shooting star passed over that one area where we had the best memories together. Our carriage reached the end of the road, and the graves fully disappeared over the hill. Magnolia soon disappeared from sight as Rogue and I moved along.
"Where are we going?" I asked, leaning my head on his shoulder.
Rogue stared out of the window. "Wherever the road leads us to." He reached for my hand, and our fingers intertwined.
"I can't wait." I smiled.
For never was a story of more woe. Than this of Juvia and her Natsu.
Yes Rogue and Lucy ended up being an item, in case I didn't make that clear. Thank you all so much for reading on, I worked hard for this story and I accomplished it! I may make an alternate ending for all the people who wanted a happy ending XD remember- SPREAD THE NAVIA !
