Man I am beat, everything hurts. I went to a football game with my mom yesterday, but not to watch. We went to pick up the hundreds of cans and bottles the fans leave behind, it was exhausting, but I made a ton of cash so that's pretty cool. Plus recycling is good for the planet. Go green, in more ways then one if ya know what I mean. Anyway, please enjoy the following chapter.


"We just have to keep going Shadow, we've got no choice now." Silver brings up.

"That's right, Gajeel, Blaze and Sting are all pretty beaten up. Speaking of, didn't Emmy say Wendy would be back by now?" Shadow asks.

"Yup, hey guys." Wendy appears behind all of her team, smiles, and is dressed in a new outfit to replace her old one.

"Wendy, your okay. Im so glad." Silver smiles at her.

"Thanks Silver, Emmy let me barrow one of Sitri's outfits from when she was younger. Does it look okay?" Its basically a younger version of Sitri's outfit, it keeps the school girl theme, its just not as mature.

"It looks fine on you, glad to see your alright." Shadow smiles at her as well.

"Thanks Shadow and to you to Cobra, I might not have survived without your poison."

"Don't mention it Wendy, consider it an apology for what I did to ya back at the 6 Hells." They smile at each other.

"Yes it does." Silver gestures to her outfit.

"Oh yeah...and umm...Jackal is awake now too." Wendy reminds them.

"I figured as much." Shadow comments.

Then Jackal appears on Demon Spawn's side. "Im back baby!" He laughs.

Silver glares at him. "I hate that Im in the same demon group as him."

Shadow puts his hand on her shoulder. "Just relax Silver."

"Yeah when he woke up Emmy started fawning over him and saying things like "Oh Im so pleased with my work, you look absolutely handsome darling!" So...the usual I guess..." Wendy adds and blushes.

"That sounds about right." Shadow agrees.

"I might be out for now, but Im still powerful, Im still a demon and Im still your worst nightmare!" Jackal yells to his opponents.

"Trying to Shadow..." Silver keeps glaring at him.

Shadow sighs. "Its almost hard to believe me and him used to hang out together."

"Hold it, you and Jackal are buddies?" Gajeel asks in disbelief.

"Yeah, he's actually alright when ya get to know him." Shadow answers.

"Are you serious Shadow?" Silver looks at him, shocked.

"I am Silver."

"That's right Shadow, remember all the fun we had with the smoothie machine and everything?" Jackal reminds him of some of the good times they had over the past few years.

"Yeah, that was pretty cool." Shadow grins, remembering all the good times they had in the three years he was with them as well.

"...Im not sure how to respond to this." Wendy comments, a little lost.

"I don't see it Shadow. I still hate him." Silver says, rather bluntly.

"Im with ya Silver, these guys seem pretty low to me." Levi agrees.

"I still stayed with them and we became friends these last three years, we lots of good times. I regret nothing." Shadow says with a straight face.

"Do you have rocks in your head?!" Ruby questions.

Silver sighs a bit. "I guess they were nice to you Shadow."

"They were...especially Sitri."

"I still love you little brother!" Sitri calls out to him.

"I know..." Now Shadow sighs a bit.

"Okay, Sitri's Im okay with, but some of the others Im not getting along with." Silver declares.

"You mean Emmy, Jackal and Vexen?" Layla asks, knowingly.

"Well yeah, and the ones who called me a lowlife demon."

"Honestly Shadow's new eye makes him higher classed then you, so sorry sweetie." Monet says that last part sarcastically, then giggles.

"Monet!" Sitri tries to make her stop talking.

"See what I mean? The only one Im okay with is Sitri." Silver says again.

"Thank you Silver dear!" Sitri yells out to her.

"Thank you was well Sitri." Shadow thanks her back.

"No problem Sitri!" Silver smiles at her and glares at the rest.

The demon smiles back.

"Well at least you don't hate all of them..." Shadow comments.

Silver nods and looks back up at the viewing crystal.

This time its another double battle, but this time with two for each side. "Well this looks promising." Shadow declares.

"Well at least this will be fair Shadow, but who will be fighting?" Silver asks.

The crystals stops. "The next two on two battle will be Demon Spawn's Torafusa and Monet vs Neko Dragon's Laxus and Cobra!"

"Finally its my turn." Monet says, pleased.

"Good thing Im ready to go again." Torafusa agrees.

"Ive been waiting for this." Cobra grins in anticipation.

"Ill say, Im ready to crack some skulls." As does Laxus.

"You both be careful alright?" Silver looks at them and glances at Shadow and his father.

"You've already seen Torafusa's powers, but not Monet's. Hers shouldn't be too much of a problem, still keep your wits about you." Bluenote cautions them.

"Oh please, Ill fry that fish and take her down next." Laxus says, confidently.

"Leave her to me, no way a fish can take a lightning bolt to the face." Cobra adds the same way and all four of them go down to the battlefield.

"You guys work together and don't you dare die!" Silver watches them.

"Its true that neither of them use water, but Torafusa doesn't really need water to fight. He just does better in it, he's still plenty strong without it. As for Monet...her powers are a bit different." Shadow explains.

"In a good or bad way Shadow? Will her powers be a problem to them?" Silver asks.

"Her powers are a problem for everyone, its not really about beating her, but more finding a way not to lose yourself."

"Lose yourself? Is it illusions or something like that?"

"No, its something more. These are no illusions, lets just say the pain she feels is very real to her opponent."

"So if she gets hurt the person who hurt her feels the pain?"

"There's a little more to it then that, just see for yourself."

"Alright Shadow." Silver goes back to watching them.

Monet's appearence is long hot pink hair tied back in a curly sort of ponytail, a bright green sleeveless top that doesnt cover her stomach and says "PAIN" across her fairly large chest, not as big as Sitri's but still not too far behind. A hot pink pair of short shorts to match her hair and some white flip flops. "Lets do this people, I predict a win for our side."

"Took the words right outta my mouth, they don't look so tough." Torafusa agrees, ready fro battle.

"Getting cocky already? Not a very smart idea." Laxus cautions them.

"Agreed, lets see how tough they are." Cobra agrees and they all stare each other down.

"Laxus, Cobra keep your guard up!" Silver looks down at them.

"I could take them both on by myself if I wanted, so let have some fun with them first Torafusa." Monet grins and he backs off.

"Whatever you say."

"I can hear your movements, there's no way you can dodge us! Poison Dragon Fang Thrust!"

"Just warn me when she's about to do something, Lightning Dragon Jaw!" Both their attacks are direct hits, but Monet didn't try to move or even lose her grin.

Then something strange happens, Laxus looks like he was just bitten by a giant snake and it poisoned, while Cobra looks like he was just struck my lightning and crunched by something. "AAAHHH!" They both yell out in pain.

"Huh? Its like their attacks hit them and not her, so is that her power Shadow?" Silver asks.

"Yeah, its called Maguilty Sense and this particular attack is called Sensory Link. Anything that has one of her links on it takes all the damage she or anyone else she chooses would've taken, also anything she or they feel, the target feels too. Whether it be something physical, emotional, or mental. Her links make them feel it all." Shadow explains to her.

Laxus and Cobra look at their wrists and see one of her pink colored links on each. "Rgh, you bitch." Laxus glares at her.

"When did she do that? I didn't hear it in her thoughts." As does Cobra.

"That's because my links are keeping you from hearing my or Torafusa's thoughts, only I can decide who you can hear." Monet grins at them.

They both continue to glare at her and she keeps her cocky grin.

"So they cant attack her without feeling the pain?" Silver questions.

"Exactly, but her power does have a very big weakness." Shadow confirms.

"Of course it does, they just have find it in time." Mard says with a grin.

"Do you think they will figure it out soon Shadow?" Silver asks another question.

"Some do, most don't."

"That doesn't sound too promising." Wendy begins to worry.

"Oh dear, Laxus, Cobra don't attack! Figure out her weakness!" Silver yells out to them.

"A lot of good that does us, if we don't attack then we cant win!" Laxus yells back.

"Still if you wont attack, we will. Maguilty Sodom!" Monet sends blades made of pure magic at Laxus.

"Gotcha! Eat this!" Meanwhile Torafusa slashes at Cobra with his blade arms, both attacks hit hard.

"When my blades hit my target they strike directly at their sense of pain, in other words my blades are pain." Monet explains.

They both get back up none the less.

"I know, but you have to some how stop her powers." Silver worries for them.

"...Easier said then done." Cobra says.

"Damn, her attacks are no joke, lets focus on fish face first. Lightning Dragon Heavenly Halberd!" Laxus throws his lightning spear at Torafusa, but Monet quickly jumps in front of it and Cobra takes all the damage from that attack.

"Damn it!" The Poison Dragon curses.

"Oh dear, they cant attack Monet or else they get hurt and she gets in the way if they attack Torafusa." Silver begins to understand how desperate their situation is.

"That's how all tag team battles with her go, at this rate they'll never figure it out." Shadow adds.

"Attacking my teammate when you knew you couldn't attack me is the dumbest strategy you could've thought up, you aren't the first ones to think of that and you wont be the last." Monet taunts them.

"Rgh, bitch." Laxus grits his teeth and glares at her again.

"Is it hard to figure it out Shadow? Can they win this fight?" Silver asks him.

"I fear, not like this they cant."

"No matter what happens we're gonna take a hit, so lets try going for a wide spread attack." Cobra gets an idea.

"Sounds okay, I can take your hits." Laxus says, sure of himself.

"Im know you can, Poison Dragon Scales!" Cobra's barrage attack swarms the entire field, it hits Monet which in turn hits Laxus, but he takes it and the attack also manages to hit Torafusa.

"Rgh, not bad." The shark demon comments and puts his arms up to guard.

"I hope they will be okay." Silver looks down at them again, still worried.

Laxus holds his wounds.

"How ya holding up Laxus?" Cobra asks his teammate.

"Fine for now, but she is gonna be a real problem if this continues."

"Gee ya think? Well get used to it sweetie, because I don't intend to stop until we win. Maguilty Sodom!"

"Just die!" Both demons attack them again and Cobra steps out in front.

"Poison Dragon Shield!" Cobra blocks both attacks.

"Oh dear, come you two, I know you can figure something out to beat them!" Silver keeps her eyes glued to the battle.

"We're never gonna get anywhere at this rate." Laxus figures out pretty quickly.

"Tell me something I don't know, but still Ive been feeling something strange this entire time." Cobra points out.

"Me to now that ya mention it." Laxus agrees.

"Have they figured something out?" Silver wonders out loud.

"C'mon guys, the answer is right in front of you." Shadow says quietly to himself and narrows his eyes at them a little.

"Do you think they've figured it out Monet?" Torafusa asks.

"Not possible, Ive taken extra care to ensure they don't. Plus we always have our Etherious Forms and some other tricks should they." Monet answers, sure of herself.

"This sucks, time for another barrage attack! Lightning Dragon Storm!" Laxus makes his lightning strike all over the field, it hits Monet which hits Cobra, Torafusa and it even hits Cobra directly.

But then Monet cries out in pain. "AAAHHHH!"

They're both confused by this. "Did you see that? What just happened?" Laxus questions.

"Im not too sure myself, your attack hit Monet which hit me, but your attack also hit me specifically which hurt her for some reason." Cobra deduces, but is still confused.

"That's weird, Monet got hurt too. I don't get it." Silver also looks confused.

"That's her weakness, now they just have to see it for themselves." Bluenote explains.

"I think they got ya Monet." Torafusa says to her.

"...Don't be ridiculous...There's no way."

Then Laxus thinks for a minute and turns to Cobra. "Im gonna try something, Lightning Dragon Breakdown Fist!" He fires it at Cobra and Cobra begins to feel very worried.

"Woah Laxus, what the hell are you doing?!"

The attack hits and Cobra feels no pain, but Monet feels a lot. "AAAHHHH!...Damn..." She breaths heavily after its over.

"Is it cause the attack was fired at Cobra?...So then Monet would be the one to get hurt?" Silver looks at Shadow to see if she's right.

"Yes, its true that with her link she cant be hurt and her opponents take all the pain. But it also works in reverse, meaning that if her opponents are hurt by someone other then her and her teammate she gets hurt instead. Most people don't know this, its her power's fatal weakness." Shadow explains, then everyone looks closer and sees a Sensory Link on one of Monet's wrists too.

"Oh I get it, so if Laxus and Cobra attack each other then Monet will feel the pain." Silver understands it now.

"Exactly, most people would never even consider attacking themselves because they feel that even in this situation it will do no good." Shadow adds.

"I see, so then it must work the other way too. Poison Dragon Grip Strike!" Cobra grabs Laxus by the face, crushes it and it surges with poison.

Once again Laxus feels nothing and Monet feels it all too well. "AAAAAHHHHH! He poisoned my face!"

Laxus and Cobra face each other and grin. "Lightning Dragon Roar!"

"Poison Dragon Roar!"

They hit each other with their roars at the same time, and Monet screams in intense pain. "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"

"That's enough, 5000 Brick Fist!" Torafusa tries to hit Laxus with it, but Laxus quickly dodges with lightning and gets close to Torafusa.

"Your next fish breath, Lightning Dragon Raging Bolt!"

It hits Torafusa hard. "AAAAAHHHHH!"

"Nice, now their winning. Come on you guys, beat them quickly!" Silver cheers for them and stops worrying.

"Im a little surprised they figured it out so quickly and from a misfire from Laxus no less." Shadow is a little surprised.

Monet and Torafusa both get back up.

"That's right get up, there's no where for you to run." Cobra looks down on them.

"I got an idea, how about I dig a gave for you two right now?" Laxus does too.

"Anymore bright ideas?" Torafusa asks his teammate.

"Actually yes, I need a new link. One more interesting for them to risk attacking." Monet removes the links from Laxus and Cobra.

"Attack now! Lightning Dragon Eruption!"

"Got it, Poison Dragon Twin Fang!" They waste no time attacking.

"Too late fools, now behold!" Monet puts a new link on Silver.

Shadow sees that and his eyes widen. "Stop your attacks! Its a trap!" Their attacks still hit Monet hard.

"Eh?" Silver didn't see that she put a link on her.

Monet takes no damage, grins and waits for Silver to feel it instead. "One, two and-"

Then Silver starts to feel great pain and falls to her knees. "Urggh...W-What...h-happened?"

"She put a link on you Silver, look." Shadow shows her wrist to her.

"That..." Silver growls and glares down at her. "Have you no damn honor?!"

Monet just giggles a bit and grins up at her. "I guess not, now they cant hurt me by attacking each other and your my cushion for all the pain. Have fun with it." She taunts and Shadow glares almost evilly at her.

"Monet..."

"You damn bitch, now you've gone way too far!" Laxus glares at her as well.

"Coming from someone who used to be in a dark guild trust me when I say your lower then hell." Cobra does the same.

"Don't go getting distracted!" Torafusa strikes Cobra again with his blade arms, this time in the back.

"Now you too, Maguilty Ray!" Monet fires many more of those swords at Laxus, they hit.

"Oh no, Laxus, Cobra! And Silver! Are you alright?" Wendy kneels down to Silver, very worried.

"Y-Yeah...Im fine...Cant I get rid of her link?" Silver looks at Shadow for help.

"...Im afraid not. Only she can decide to take it off of you and...I don't see that happening."

Meanwhile on the battlefield Laxus and Cobra refuse to attack, as it might injure Silver, so they begin to take a seemingly endless beating from Monet and Torafusa.

"Oh no! Their in a very bad way!" Wendy worries more.

"Oh god..." Silver gulps a bit. "If they do attack will Monet still feel it Shadow?"

"If they attack she'll use herself as a shield again and you'll take all the damage...but if they don't attack they lose." Shadow clenches his fists and grits his teeth at the hopelessness of the situation.

"...Their not attacking on purpose...To make sure Silver is okay." Wendy informs everyone else.

The two dragons on the battlefield keep taking hit after hit.

Silver looks down and clenches her fists. "Monet cant do this, cant she? Is there a way to break her link?"

"Im afraid not, but there is still one thing that we can do from here. You know what it is Shadow." Bluenote informs his son.

"Huh? But I thought we're not aloud to use attacks up here?" Levi questions.

"We're not during a battle, but there is still one thing that only Shadow can do." Bluenote answers.

Shadow knows what it is, as he looks up at his father.

Silver gulps a bit again. "Monet can do this to me? Then screw the rules, she just broke them!" She then glares down at Monet once more.

"Technically not. True she cannot attack those of us in the balcony, but this is not an attack. Now do what you have to Shadow." Bluenote tells him.

"...But dad-"

"If you wanna save Silver, Laxus and Cobra then do it." Bluenote cuts him off.

Shadow then gulps a bit now and turns back to Silver.

"Damn it...and Im getting a bit scared here." Silver looks back at Shadow, not sure what he's about to do.

Shadow gets right in her face and looks at her right in the eye. "Silver...you trust me right?" He says seriously.

"Yes I do, but what are you going to do?" She looks back at him.

Shadow doesn't answer and says only one thing. "...Forgive me." He then kisses her deeply, right there and begins fondling her breasts, everyone except Bluenote is shocked.

"Shadow this isn't the damn time!" Gajeel yells at him.

"And you told us to get a room?!" Layla adds.

"Im so confused right now!" Wendy finishes.

But then on the battlefield Monet stops attacking. "...W-What is this feeling?"

Silver blushes hard and holds her moaning in, very confused at this.

"Remember the Sensory Link makes both sides feel the same thing, pain, comfort, sadness, anger, even pleasure." Bluenote reminds everyone.

Shadow keeps going, knowing Monet feels all of this too and therefore wont move a muscle.

Silver blushes harder, hearing what Bluenote said. She then puts a wall up around the two of them and it covers them completely so they cant be heard as Silver is still embarrassed Shadow did this in front of everyone.

Shadow breaks the kiss for a minute. "...Im sorry, but that was the only way."

"But did you have to do it in front of everyone Shadow? And how will this work? They still cant beat Monet." Silver blushes hard.

"Sorry, I couldn't waste time taking you somewhere else. And it will work, if I keep it up eventually she'll let you out of it. Either that or she'll be so overwhelmed by it and the guys will use that opportunity to beat Torafusa, then eventually the time will run out and with one down we'll be the winners."

"Fine, I forgive you. Your lucky I could raise this wall Shadow, cause I was close to pushing you away."

He puts his head down. "I said I was sorry, there was nothing else I could do."

Silver then kisses his cheek gently. "Im sorry Shadow, you did the only thing you could think of. Im sorry."

"Me to Silver, so...we have to keep it up." He blushes a bit.

She blushes too. "How will we know if it worked?"

"You feel everything she feels, so you should know."

"Oh, I can use this wall so we can see and hear outside, but no one can see or hear us in here." They look out to see what's happening in the battle.

They see Monet looking very confused. "What is this feeling? Its in my head." She feels all the feelings Silver has for Shadow at that moment, she then blushes.

Meanwhile Laxus and Cobra are able to get back to their feet. "What the hell just happened?" Laxus questions.

"I have no idea, Silver must've done something up there." Cobra figures.

"Do we keep going Shadow?" Silver looks at him, still blushing.

"Yes Silver, just until we gain an edge in this fight." He looks back at her and blushes a bit too.

"O-Okay Sh-Shadow."

"We wont go too far right now Silver, I promise." He kisses her deeply again and goes back to fondling her breasts.

Silver keeps her blush and lets her moans out now.

Shadow does the same and outside Monet feels it all and moans a little as well.

"Monet, what's up with you?" Torafusa asks.

Monet then realizes what it is. "...Its...Shadow...He and Silver are...having a loving moment."

Silver blushes hard and hears Monet talking.

Sitri hears what Monet said. "...My little brother is brilliant, but...Im...extremely jealous." She grips and breaks the edge of her balcony, starring at Monet who continues to feel everything Silver feels at this moment.

"Snap out of it Monet, their almost ready to fight again!" Torafusa tries to get her to focus.

"...I-I cant...Not like this...Aaaahhhh..." Monet says in between moans.

Shadow makes it go further and begins to rub Silver's flower through her pants.

Silver blushes more and moans more. "A-Aaaahh...Sh-Shadow...O-Ooohh..."

"Oh god!...I don't think...I can take much more..." Monet feels it all again.

"Then drop the link already!" Sitri gets even more jealous, as Shadow's actions on Silver continue and get faster.

Silver blushes hard and moans loud. "A-Aaahh!...Sh-Shadow!...O-Ohhh..."

Laxus and Cobra grin at this opportunity. "That's an interesting approach, leave it to Shadow I guess." Cobra laughs a bit.

"Damn straight, now lets deal with the fish dinner over here." Laxus turns to Torafusa.

"Alright enough with the fish names, Im a shark!" Torafusa yells at them.

"Okay...that's enough...link off." Monet removes the link from Silver.

"She...removed it Shadow..." Silver pants heavily.

He stops. "Looks like it worked, sorry again for coming on too quickly like that Silver."

"No, no. Its fine, you kinda scared me looking serious and getting so close, not saying anything." She blushes.

"Yeah...I was trying to build up suspense." He blushes a bit as well.

"Well you really did, I was getting scared."

"Yeah, sorry about that again. I didn't mean to scare you Silver."

"Its fine Shadow, don't worry." She smiles at him.

He smiles back. "Glad to hear it Silver, now lets see how Laxus and Cobra are doing." He stands back up and turns back to the fight.

Silver puts down the barrier from around them and faces the fight again too.

"Snap out of it Monet, we've still gotta win this fight." Torafusa says to her again.

"...Y-Yeah and since none of my tricks will work there is still one thing we can try." Monet comes back to her senses.

"Yeah right, there is that." Torafusa agrees, knowingly.

"Etherious Form!" They both begin to change into their full demon forms.

"Here it comes." Cobra readys himself.

"You know what to do." Laxus says, also knowingly.

"Dragon Force!" Both dragons go into their Dragon Force's as well.

"How do Laxus and Cobra's chances of winning look now Shadow?" Silver looks at him.

"Not too bad, but you've only seen half of what Monet and Tofusa can do. Once they enter their Etherious forms they get serious."

Once they finish changing into their Etherious forms Monet grows large feathered wings over her arms, talons on her feet, and more feathers on the sides of her head, legs and several places on her body. In short a Harpie.

Torafusa gets much more muscular, to the point his shirt and jacket are completely ripped off. The fins of his head, arms and back get longer and sharper. His fangs get longer and sharper too. His legs don't get too much more muscular and compared to his now huge arms and upper body, they look rather small. He also grows a tail, it too is shark skinned and has a fin on the end of it as well. In addition to all of this a bunch of small holes appear on his chest, shoulders, abs, back, and a few on his arms. He also got a lot bigger all around.

"Oh I see, lets hope Laxus and Cobra can take it." Silver watches them.

"Me to." Shadow does the same.

"I get the rest, but what are all the holes on Torafusa's body for?" Wendy asks.

"You'll see, his curse." Shadow answers.

"Oh dear, Laxus, Cobra be careful you two!" Silver keeps watching.

"Get ready to die you two, and sink into the Deep Sea of Hades." Monet grins at them, almost like prey.

"You wont get the chance for it, Lightning Dragon Secret Art!"

"We'll take you out before it happens, Poison Dragon Secret Art!"

Monet flies high in the air and Torafusa stands ready for something big. "I hope your ready for this, Tenchi Kaimei!" Then in an instant the entire room becomes completely filled to the top with black water, it poured fast out of the holes all over his body. The only reason everyone in the stands aren't drowning is because a magic barrier keeps it from reaching them.

"What the hell is this?!" Gajeel questions, in surprise.

"He made his own water?!" Same for Levi.

"Why is it black?!" Ruby too.

"That's why she said deep sea of hades. The water would be black...How can Laxus and Cobra survive down there?" Silver asks.

"That's just it, they cant. Torafusa's curse is made so that he and only he will have any sort of advantage, as you saw in Levi's battle against him. Plus in his Etherious form he's much stronger and faster, and his strength and speed are greatly increased in water, especially this water. Just look up there." Shadow points to the ceiling and Monet is clinging to it with ease in her Etherious form, just out of the black water's reach.

"Oh no, but we cant see them now with the black water." Silver worries for Laxus and Cobra.

"That's not all."

"What do ya mean Shadow?" Wendy asks.

"This black water is a deadly poison to anyone other then Torafusa, it kills the ones who have breathed even a single drop in after about five minutes." Everyone on Neko Dragons team, except Bluenote are shocked to hear this.

"What?! We have to get them out of there now!" Silver gets more worried.

"Im afraid we cant, once a battle has started only the ones inside the battlefield can either win or give in. Its all up to them now." Bluenote says firmly.

"This isn't fair..." Silver looks down.

"...That's what it means to be a demon." Shadow says, looking at her.

"I may be a weak demon, but Im glad Im not cold hearted like some of these demons." Silver glares at them, despite the black water.

"Me to, and your not weak. You may be a demon, but your a very sweet and loving girl Silver." Shadow tries to make her feel better.

"Thank you Shadow, but this cant be happening...Laxus and Cobra cant die...Not here."

"Why doesn't Laxus just zap them? Water conducts electricity, besides if its poison then Cobra could just eat it." Sting brings up.

"First that wont work on Torafusa in his water and second because its technically not poison, its water." Shadow counters.

"So what your saying is that they have no way to win or get out of this Shadow?" Silver asks, feeling hopeless.

"That's not what I said Silver, they can win, its just going to be very hard. Ive never seen anyone beat Torafusa in his Sea of Hades." Shadow answers.

"Is there any way for us to see them Shadow?" Silver asks again.

"Allow me, Darkness Dragon Vortex." Shadow opens a vortex through the darkness in the water, everyone is now able to see inside of it.

"Handy, nice work Shadow." Wendy complements him.

"Thanks Wendy."

"Nice one Shadow." So does Silver, then everyone looks throw the vortex to see what's happening in the fight.

"What is this stuff?" Cobra questions.

"Its so dark and reeks of evil." Laxus comments.

"Your in my zone now, prepare to die!" Torafusa swims at them with amazing speed, slamming both his large arms into each of them at the same time.

"Oh no, Laxus! Cobra!" Silver looks at them and continues to worry.

Torafusa then throws them both to either sides of him, fairly fast even in water.

"He's so fast, Poison Dragon Spiral Jaw!" Cobra tries to counter attack.

Torafusa easily dodges it. "You can never hit me under water, Deep Impact!" He strikes Cobra from above using the force of the water, it sends him deep into the depths of the water and Cobra hits the ground hard. Despite the water it even creates a hole where he landed.

"This is starting to look bad..." Ruby comments.

"Starting too?" Gajeel asks, sarcastically.

"Oh no, this is really bad. They cant stand it down there for very long." Silver keeps watching and worrying.

"Soon you'll both join Davey Jones' Locker at the bottom of the Sea of Darkness!" Torafusa yells out and laughs.

"I might not be able to shock him, but I can still use lightning to move faster then him in water!" Laxus uses his lightning to easily moves through the water, then he gets right behind a confused Torafusa. "Lightning Dragon Heavenly Halberd!" Its able to hit Torafusa hard, in the back.

"Good, Laxus can move around, but what about Cobra?" Silver asks.

"Im sure he'll think of something, for now Laxus will have to deal with Torafusa." Shadow answers as best he can.

The shark demon then quickly turns around and punches Laxus on the stomach, then hits him down, then hits him into a wall.

"AH!...He's...a freaking beast..." Laxus comments, gritting his teeth and glaring at the demon.

"This is Demon Spawn!" Torafusa punches Laxus again.

"I...cant...breath..." Laxus says as Torafusa punches him again and he coughs up some blood into the water.

"Oh no, I think Laxus is running out of air." Silver gets even more worried.

"Yeah and what happened to Cobra?" Levi asks.

While Torafusa is distracted with Laxus, Cobra swims to the surface with his fist surging with poison energy. "Poison Dragon Fist!" Once he hits the surface he punches Monet, who has been hiding on the surface this whole time. She gasps, as his punch hit her right in her back, between her wings.

"Nice move." Shadow grins at this.

"Nice one Cobra!" Silver smiles and keeps watching.

After being hit, Monet falls into the water herself, then she too begins struggling to stay alive.

"Can Torafusa get rid of the water fast Shadow? Or would he even care for what happens to Monet?" Silver asks.

"He could easily get rid of it, but even if she dies she'll just get transported to the healing station where she can easily be brought back to life. So I don't think Torafusa minds." Shadow answers, sure of this.

"Man dark guilds really suck." Gajeel says, bluntly.

"Yeah, but what about Laxus and Cobra? What if they die Shadow?" Silver asks another question.

"...Im sorry to say it, but...if they don't bare the emblem of this guild then they cant be teleported to the healing station." Shadow answers her, regretfully.

"But we can bring them there, just like with Wendy and Jura." Silver says, pretty sure.

"True, but they were just seriously hurt and not in a technical life threatening situation." Shadow informs her.

"So...if they die...they die? We cant help?" Silver begins to feel hopeless again.

Shadow says nothing and turns back to the battle, not wanting to answer her last question.

Silver clenches her fists and turns back to the match as well, praying Laxus and Cobra will be okay.

Cobra swims over to Torafusa while his attention is still on Laxus, but the sound of Monet hitting the water turns his attention to Cobra and he punches the Poison Dragon hard. "AH!"

"He's wide open, Lightning Dragon Roar!" It hits Torafusa in the back, then Monet begins to swim down to the fight.

"I might not be as good as Torafusa in the water, but I can still fight until I die! Maguilty Sodom!" It hits Laxus.

"Come on Laxus, Cobra...don't die." Silver keeps watching.

"Maguilty Ray!" It rains on Laxus and Cobra, then Torafusa appears above both of them.

"Deep Impact!" Torafusa slams both of them down to the bottom of the sea.

"...This isn't good, they cant take much more of this. No matter how strong they are." Shadow comments, beginning to sweat a bit.

"Oh no...There has to be something we can do Shadow...Like throw in the towel for them?...I don't know." Silver gets more worried.

"Wait Silver!...Look." Shadow point back to the battle. Upon a second look he noticed that now Torafusa seems to be poisoned.

"He's poisoned, but when did that happen?" Layla questions.

"Cobra did it. The whole time he was fighting he was releasing nerve paralyzing poison into the water, Im sure he also gave Laxus an antidote for it." Wendy smiles, knowing she's right.

"Nerve paralyzing poison? Will that stop Torafusa's poison water?" Silver asks and keeps watching.

"Not exactly, but it will poison him so that they'll all be on more even terms now." Shadow answers, feeling a little more at ease.

"Yeah, and I know Cobra's poison. It'll probably hold him for a good minute or two, that's their chance to strike back." Wendy adds.

"This ends now! Lightning Dragon Secret Art!"

"Die! Poison Dragon Secret Art!" The two dragons begin surging with energy.

"This doesn't look good, do something Torafusa!" Monet demands.

"Don't you think Im trying?! I wont let it end this way!" Torafusa swims down to them as fast as he can go, as they continue building up energy.

"Come on guys, you can beat them!" Silver prays for them to win.

"No! Im not going to make it!" Torafusa begins to feel worry himself.

"Total Destruction: Raging God's Dragun!" Laxus creates a giant dragon, entirely out of blue lightning. As opposed to his usual yellow lightning.

"Snake Deity: Seven Deadly Toxins!" Cobra shoots seven beams of seven different, but very deadly poisons at them. The two attacks come at them with amazing and very deadly power.

"This is really gonna hurt!" Torafusa yells out, as it is the only thing he can do.

"This cant be happening to me!" Monet adds, the same way. Both demons are then swallowed by the attacks as quickly as they began. Everyone then waits for the results.

"Come on, please let it work." Silver closes her eyes, wishing her friends are okay.


As everyone waits for the results, everyone also wonders what happened to the four competitors? Who won? Who lost? And who ate the last pudding cup?!...I guess that last one is just me. Find out all this and more, next time.
