A/N: Hey everyone, sorry for not updating! It's just that I'm busy with school things and next week will be my finals! I've changed a few things in this story, like Nori's name to Arinna. /get shots Sorry about that, but I feel like that name suits her better and I fell in love with it. haha
The aching screams of the Fairy Tail mages could be heard through the whole beach. At the price of receiving pain, the benefit of it was the enhancement of their magical powers. Oddly enough, Arinna's prediction was correct. Both Erza and Reana were unfazed by the Second Origin which confused and surprised Ultear who was hoping it would cause pain for the two of them.
"Thanks to you, nobody can move." Erza sighed with her arms crossed.
"I'm pretty upset that Rosie is doing this too…" Reana sighed at her little cousin's determination of following whatever Natsu did. Apparently she looked up to him even if their magical power differed by a long shot. Reana could hear the little girl's cries of pain since hers was the loudest.
"How come you don't feel anything?" Ultear asked, confused. It was true that these girls had shown no side effects of the Second Origin, possibly because of how strong they were or how determined they were to not show their weak side.
"Don't act so surprised Ultear…" Arinna began before giving a smile to the two girls. She was a bit happy that it didn't faze Reana since seeing how much pain she had already caused her was enough. Though she couldn't laugh as much as she wanted to since Rosie was suffering as well. "They are stronger than they look."
"You give us too much credit." Reana said with a smirk. She was very confident of herself, maybe a bit full of herself to be exact. "Like I'd let anyone see me like that."
"You are too funny my dear." Arinna laughed as the two twins shared a high-five. Reana then had a hint of sadness since her sister was going away again. Even if she did get to see her after so many years, she couldn't help but miss her older sister. There was no way she'd show it in front of others, that is.
"We can't stay in one place too long due to the nature of our guild." Jellal said as everyone began to put their hood on. "We're leaving now…"
"If you have any information on the dark magical power, please let us know by carrier." Meredy explained as the two girls agreed.
"Don't worry too much about the games." Arinna began with a small chuckle. She nonchalantly snapped her hand down. "We'll be secretly helping on the sidelines, so keep watch for it."
"Hope to see you again, Erza…" Jellal said as the others were bidding farewell.
"Say goodbye to Rosie for me and don't forget!" Arinna said with a wave before realizing something. "Whatever your dear Gray tells you, it's a lie!"
"Huh?!" Reana questioned confused and somewhat worried at what she might have done to him. Hearing that made her panic a bit since she had no idea what her sister might have told him. She had hope it wasn't about her liking him a lot. "What the hell did you do to him?!"
"Nothing." Arinna simply replied with a smile which made Reana a bit more annoyed.
"Take good care of Gray for me." Ultear said with a slight smile as they continued their way.
"Ta-ta, Reana!" Arinna said with a wave as Reana was infuriated.
"Don't go leaving without telling me what you did!"
"Gomen*!" Arinna waved her last goodbye with a smile. Reana could only sigh at her sister's weird self, though she was happy to be around her once again.
"I seriously hate you right now!"
"It was nice to reunite with your sister, wasn't it Reana?" Erza said as she watched Reana's sister and the others disappear into the dark.
"Yeah, I suppose…" Reana agreed before grabbing her arm in a slight smile. "I'm still curious at what my sister did to Gray."

"I hope the Fairy Tail mages will be alright." Jellal wondered as the fire began to give him warmth. His independent guild was residing in a cave for the time being. Everyone was at ease as they were talking about if the Fairy Tail mages were going to be able to find the source of the dark magic.
"So Jellal…" Meredy began — building suspense — as she brought her feet close to each other. "Why did you tell her you had a fiancé?"
"Y—You heard that?!" Jellal asked shockingly and embarrassed. He turned his head — not trying to make any eye contact.
"Isn't it better to be honest with yourself?" Ultear asked with a smile. She was feeling for him since she had cause him too much problems. She was the reason for Jellal's evil life.
"Or is it because you're still punishing yourself?" Arinna asked as she watched Jellal's expression change. "Do tell, then again, I foresaw it as well..." Arinna muttered to herself with a smirk.
"We all know punishment is the rule for our guild, isn't it? I can't fall in love with people who walk in the light. I can only hope for Erza to be forever happy."
"Then why didn't you come up with a better lie?" Meredy asked — not amused by his speech.
"That was bad… Are you trying to be cool?" Ultear asked as Arinna was feeling the same way.
"Men, always trying to find an excuse to hide their true feelings." Arinna laughed, giving him the eyes.
"That reminds me…" Meredy began looking at Arinna. "What didyou do to Gray?" This comment sent a sudden shock to Arinna. She seemed like she was panicking out of fear before she began to take in a deep breath.
"I just had a little talk with him." She said laughing before thinking back to what she had actually told Gray.
-A few hours ago-
Natsu was screaming in pain since he was taking in the Second Origin. Lucy and Gray were staring at him, scared out of their wits. It was going to be their turn next. Just looking at him was making them more nervous. Meredy even suggested to them trying a sense link, though they declined.
"Gray, I have something to tell you." Arinna spoke as he turned to face her. He couldn't help but see Reana, even if she did look different from her.
"Yeah, what is it?"
"Come with me." Arinna said as she grabbed his hand, taking him somewhere away from the others. Reana, on the other hand, was too busy to even notice this action since she was watching Rosie shake in fear.
After finding a place where Arinna and Gray could be finally alone, with nobody could hear them, she quickly pulled on his necklace. This sudden action made him go down to her eye level. All he could see was a hint of gentleness in her eyes, but behind it was an evil presence. At this moment, he sweat-dropped wondering what he did wrong to provoke to do such a thing.
"Did I do something wrong?" He asked, a bit afraid since she didn't let go.
"Hurt my little sister again…" She started as her eyes began to narrow. The sudden action made this even more frightening for Gray. "I will kill you without a second thought…"
"G—Got it..."

"You guys kissed?!" Reana whispered sharply. She couldn't believe how open Erza was with her. This meant a lot to her since she actually admired and liked Erza. She couldn't help but feel like they were getting closer.
"Look Erza!" Happy's voice attracted the girls to a broken heart in the sand. This action ended up with Erza kicking Happy towards the moon as Reana clapped her hands.
"Thank goodness he's gone."
* Gomen Sorry in Japanese
