With Lucy and Juvia
"Is that... Millianna?!" Lucy asked as she and Juvia entered a room filled with holes.
"Are you okay?" Juvia aksed as she helped the cat lover up.
"I think so..." Millianna mumbled. "I think Cobra saved me from some kind of explosion."
"Yeah, he's always doing stuff like that." Lucy giggled. "So, you take his antidote?"
"I think so.." She nodded.
"How the hell are you still alive!?" All three girls looked over to the tunnel in front of them as girl jumped down into the room. A pair of crooked white antenna jutted out of her hair, blue with a red streak in the front. A high collar hugged her cheeks and chin. Two spikes with pink eyes came off her shoulders. White sleeves covered her arms and connected to cuffs that went under the shoulder spikes. Her chest was covered by white armor puffed up over her breasts and connected to a unitard that didn't cover her sides. High ornaments covered her outside thighs that lead to open leg sleeves that ended at her blue and white heels.
"Who are you?" Millianna asked.
"The name is Ryuko." The girl said. "Other wise known as the girl whose gonna take you bitches down."
"I take it your one of the knights Jellal hired." Juvia surmised.
"You go put that right." Ryuko said, before pointing to Millianna. "I'm just amazed you survived after I sent that missile into your room."
"Why would you do that?" The cat girl asked.
"Jellal ordered me to." Ryuko answered.
"He wouldn't do that!" Millianna shouted.
"Wrong, he did!" Ryuko said back. "Well, might as well finish what I started."
"He will pay!" Millianna growled.
"Wanna back her up?" Juvia asked.
"Sure." Lucy nodded pulling out a key. "Open, Gate of the Archer - Sagittarius!" The horse man appeared. "Fire!"
"As you wish." The man unleashed a barrage of arrows at the woman.
"Water Slicer!" Juvia sent a wave of water blades at Ryuko.
"Bad Kitty Restraint Tube!" Millianna summoned her rope and sent it towards the assassin.
"That's all you got?" The assassin asked as she held our her hand. Half of a pair of giant red scissors appeared in her hand as she moved to the side and sliced the arrows in half before jumping and slamming it down on the water blades. She braced herself behind the blade as the rope shot towards her, only to get sliced in half.
"How did she do that?" Sagittarius asked.
"This suit boosts my speed, reflexes and strength. And this scissor blade can cut through any magic I want it to." Ryuko explained. She jumped into the air as her outfit glowed. "Junketsu Shippu!" The glow died as the bottom turned into a jet and the eyes turned into wings. She blasted forward and slammed her blade into the spirit, making it vanish as she flew around the room.
"The hell kinda freaky magic is this?" Millianna asked, looking at the blue fire coming out the bottom of Ryuko's dress.
"It's called Fiber Magic." The assassin said as she landed and her dress returned to normal.
"I'm ending this now!" Juvia declared. "Sierra!" She turned her body into water and shot forward.
"Big mistake. Junketsu Mubyōshi!" A blue energy dome surrounded Ryuko. As Juvia slammed into it, she cried out in pain before her body was pushed back and returned to normal. "At the right frequency, water can be disrupted and blasted apart."
"Open, Gate of the Golden Bull - Taurus!" Lucy summoned her perverted bull spirit with his giant axe. "Get her, Taurus!"
"You got it." The bull charged forward, dragging his axe behind him.
"Junketsu Senji!" Her body glowed and blue spikes grew from her outfit. She strapped her scissor blade on her back and blue claws jutted out of her gloves. "Let's dance, bull boy!" She swung her claws and blocked the axe before charging forward. Ryuko jumped and flip kicked the bull in the head before spinning and kicking the spirit back.
"I'm just getting started!" Taurus said as he sprinted forward. He swing the axe across, but Ryuko ducked, tripped him, slammed her knee into his gut and the back of her elbow into his neck.
"And now you're done!" Ryuko jumped behind him and drove him into the wall, knocking him out.
"Sorry, miss Lucy..." Taurus mumbled as he faded back into the Spirit World.
"Alright, let's try this. Open, Gate of the Giant Crab - Cancer!" Lucy summoned the next spirit. "Listen, I know hair is your thing, but do you think you could cut her out of that outfit?"
"I'll do my best, baby." He said before charging forward. Ryuko stood there as the spirit tried to cut her out, only to be met with a kick to the face.
"Senji Shippu!" Combining her two spells, the assassin took off like a spiked rocket and tackled the spirit into the air before slamming him down on the floor. "Fiber Magic isn't something you just wear. It's a way of life. Once I put on this outfit, I used its power to sew it onto my body. It can never come of."
"My bad... Baby..." Cancer said as he faded to the spirit world.
"How can we beat this girl?" Millianna asked scared.
"I'm getting bored." Ryuko complained as the spikes receded back into the outfit and the jets faded. "Let's have some fun." A red string floated off her blade and wormed its way around Millianna and Juvia.
"What is that thing?" Lucy asked.
"Your end." Ryuko smirked before pulling on the sword, tightening the string. "Mind Stitching!"
The string wrapped around the two girls and their clothing started to glow red. Both screamed as their eyes turned red before they burst into a bright light, making Lucy cover her eyes.
Throne Room
"And so falls the rain woman." Jellal mumbled as he knocked Juvia's piece over. "And it looks like the end of the celestial wizard." He knocked over Lucy's piece.
With Lucy
Lucy moved her arm out of the way to see Juvia and Millianna standing with their arms loose. "Juvia, Millianna! You guys okay?" She got no response as both girls looked over at her, now with blank white eyes and a red string going up the backs of their clothing to their necks.
"Get her!" Ryuko ordered. Both girls charged forward and swung their arms, tearing the sides of Lucy's dress.
"What's wrong with them!?" Lucy asked in a panic.
"See, they listen to me now, just like the bitches they are!" Ryuko explained. "Pussy, hold her in place! Squirt, tenderize her!"
The girls obeyed as Millianna used her ropes to not only bind Lucy, but cut off her magic. Juvia turned her arms into whips of boiling water and struck Lucy's legs and arms.
"Snap out of it, you two!" Lucy cried.
"Must... Obey..." Millianna gasped out as some of the whips hit her.
"Who knows, maybe after I have them kill you, I'll set them free just long enough to regret their actions before I kill them myself." Ryuko mocked.
"Let me go!" Lucy squirmed in the grasps of the ropes. She stomped on one of Millianna's feet before throwing her head back, knocking out the cat girl.
"Don't just stand there! Drown her!" Ryuko ordered.
"Must... Obey..." Juvia turned her body into water and trapped Lucy in stream of water which also ripped the ropes off of her.
"While you drown her, I'll take care of the cat woman." Ryuko said as she summoned a second blade and connected the two, walking over to Millianna.
'I have to think of something!' Lucy thought, holding her breathe. 'I can't beat her in a real fight. She's too strong.'
"Lucy... Can you hear me?" Juvia's real voice asked, shocking Lucy. "I can't control my actions."
'Is she in my head?' Lucy asked.
"I don't want to hurt you." Juvia said. "I consider you a friend, and I hope you think of me the same way. I know we've fought because we're both madly in love with Gray."
'No, you are.' Lucy thought.
"I truly like you." Juvia confessed. "I've grown to love Fairy Tail, and everyone in it. They care for others, and they like to have fun. They're so friendly and warm, like rays of sunshine that chance the clouds away. I never knew a guild could be like that. For the first time in my life, I felt like I was making real friends. But who wants to be friends with a girl who can only bring sadness."
'I can feel her tears.' Lucy thought.
"Just finish her off already!" Ryuko shouted as she pinned Millianna's arms under her feet. The bluenette launched the other girl out of her.
"Someone... Who would shed her tears for her friends... Will always be welcomed in Fairy Tail..." Lucy said as she stood up.
"Spare me all the friendship means everything bullshit." Ryuko said. "Just kill her already!"
"Water... Jigsaw..." Juvia ran forward as a bullet of water blades as Lucy reached for her keys. Once Juvia was in front of her, Lucy shoved her key into the water tornado.
"Open, Gate of the Water Bearer - Aquarius!" The mermaid burst out of the girl, angry scowl on her face.
"A mermaid!?" Ryuko shouted.
"She used my body to summon her spirit?" Juvia asked.
"As long as there is water, I can summon Aquarius, the most powerful spirit I know." The blonde explained. "So thanks for having Juvia turn into a walking water supply." Lucy panicked when she saw the look in her spirits face.
"I got called all the way out her for you annoying cow!?" The spirit shouted as she summoned a giant tidal wave.
"Sorry!" Juvia and Lucy shouted as the wave loomed over them.
"Nice try! Senji Shippu!" She shouted, only to find her clothing returned to normal and her blades vanished. "What the hell?"
"I got you..." Millianna gasped as she held her hand out as a rope wrapped around Ryuko's foot.
"You little bitch!" Ryuko shouted, trying to tear apart the rope with her hands.
"Too late..." Millianna pointed up as the wave crashed down.
"So much... Water!" Juvia and Lucy complained as they were swept away by the current.
"I can't even kitty paddle!" Millianna complained as she struggled to stay afloat.
"Do you have any idea how much this outfit costs!?" Ryuko shouted.
"Juvia! Where are you!?" Lucy shouted as she bobbed her head.
"Over here!" The bluenette shouted back. The reached out and grabbed hands as their magic power combined as the water glowed.
Throne Room
Jellal looked over as the scissor piece grew a crack on the blades. "All this power... They couldn't have combined their powers. Is it a Unison Raid?"
With Ryuko
"Calm down, girls, let's talk this over." Ryuko begged Juvia and Lucy.
"Fairy Water!" Both shouted as a cyclone lifted the assassin up and slammed her into the ceiling, knocking her out. The water slowly faded away, leaving nothing but puddles and a downed Ryuko.
"All right! We won!" Lucy cheered.
"And I'm not a mindless zombie any more!" Juvia added.
"Hooray for teamwork!" Millianna added, only for them to be cut off by Aquarius's growl.
"Listen carefully, girlie. Don't ever do something like that again!" She told Lucy. "If you even think of summoning me out of a toilet bowl, I'll fucking kill you. Are we clear?"
"Yes, ma'am." Lucy nodded.
"I'm going to have nightmares about her..." Juvia mumbled.
"And I thought dogs were scary..." Millianna added.
"Don't ever be creative again. Rivers and oceans only, got it?" The spirit asked.
"I promise!" The blonde shouted.
"Oh, I'm going on a two week vacation with my sexy man." Aquarius said. "So don't even think about summoning me! Got that!?"
"Yes..." All three nodded, the other two just scared for their lives.
"Maybe you'll understand when you have a boyfriend." The spirit said, turning around. "Not like that'll ever happen." She added before fading away.
"Hey, I'm single by choice!" Lucy shouted.
"I'm sure your prince will show up one day." Juvia consoled the blonde.
"Maybe..." Lucy mumbled, looking over at the defeated frame of Ryuko before falling back into a puddle. "We just took out one of the toughest assassins in the world. I bet Jellal never saw that coming."
"It's a shame all I could do was be a puppet." Juvia said.
"That's not true." Lucy replied. "I heard your voice in the water. You were there when I really need you. That's what friends do for each other. That's all I want us to be from now on."
Juvia stared at the blonde as she started to cry. "Just what we need, more water..." She said as she dropped to her knees.
"I can't believe he had her try to kill me..." Millianna said, looking at Ryuko.
"But we beat her..." Lucy reminded her. "I'm tired, how about we just stay here and rest?"
"I could use a cat nap." Millianna added.
Throne Room
"A Unison Raid..." Jellal mumbled as he knocked over Ryuko's piece and set Juvia's and Lucy's back up. "Monks have trained for their entire lives and still couldn't do it. I'm impressed, even if it was just luck. Well, I learned my lesson. Looks like it's my turn to move a piece on the board."
Era
"On the matter of firing Etherion on the Tower of Heaven, the final vote is four in favor and five against." Org said. "Therefore, the council has decided against using the weapon at this time."
"You fools!" Siegrain shouted. "Extreme threats can only be countered with extreme measures!"
"Why are you so dead set on this solution?" Org asked. "We have made our decision, and we believe it is possible to reach a peaceful solution."
"I'm telling you, you're wrong." Siegrain said. "Whilst we sit here, debating the issue, Jellal is coming closer and closer to resurrecting the dead! Can none of you feel it!? The dark magic that has been spreading across the planet like a plague. It's all because of who he wants to revive!"
"And just who is that?" Org asked.
"Just get to the point." Michello added.
"If word of his name ever got out, there'd be panic. But you left me no choice." The twin explained. "He wants to bring back Zeref!"
His words shocked all the other members, except Ultear. "And you are one hundred percent sure about this?" Org asked.
"I am." He nodded. "I know his motivations all to well. That is the curse of our bound. I call for another vote."
Sorry if I messed up the description of Ryuko. I tried to match it as best I could. The mind control was a good idea, it's the turning Juvia into a groupie I had a problem with.
Please for give me if you thought it was to short, I'll try to do better in the next chapter.
Digemsmack is m.i.a, so this chapter was beta read by Natsu is Awesome.
