A/N: So this is what happened to Juvia and Lucy when the whole guild (plus Lyon) was learning Gray's secret. This is not a continuation of Hermes and his POV. We will continue that in the next chapter.

With that being said, let us continue with the story.

"What would happen to Juvia and Jellal if Gray x Erza became canon?"

This is Juvia and Jellal's story...

Meanwhile in Juvia's dorm

JUVIA'S POV

Hermes and Master Jose had escorted Juvia back to her dorm. The three of us had agreed to give Juvia enough time pack and write a goodbye letter to her former team. While Juvia will admit she has some resentment towards certain former guild members, Juvia did not hold resentment toward everyone. She still wishes to visit occasionally to check on people like Erik, Kyushu, and... Jellal. Oh, Mavis, Juvia prays Jellal doesn't do anything he will regret. No,...Juvia can't think about any of that right now. She must prepare for her trip.

"Juvia...are you really sure we should be leaving so abruptly?" Hermes was still not convinced that this was a good idea. "Bro and the other can surely sort everything. They can bring Gray to justice."

"That's just it, Hermes," Juvia smiled softly. "Juvia doesn't wish for justice nor apologies. Juvia only wants to move on."

"So, you're okay with Erza and Gray potentially spitting on your name," Hermes claimed with his arms crossed. "What happened to you fighting for you want? What happened to you standing for you knew what right? Did the lessons you taught us meaning nothing to you?"

"It is because Juvia wants to protect everyone! Juvia decided to leave because Juvia doesn't want to see anyone else get hurt." Juvia countered. " Juvia saw what happened when Aphro defended Juvia. I don't that to happen to another friend. If Juvia leaves Fairy Tail, then no one else has to suffer."

"But-"

"Now, now, Hermes, this is ultimately Juvia's decision," Master Jose stepped to Juvia's aid. "As a friend of Juvia, you must respect her choices."

"Not if it's a stupid one!"

Hermes...

"Well, Juvia is moving on," Juvia huffed and crossed her arms. "Will Hermes do Juvia a small favor and deliver her letter to Master and Jellal?"

"Fine, but I'm not going to be gone for any longer than three minutes." Hermes groaned.

Satisfied by his answer, Juvia finished packing her belongs and sat down at her empty desk. With a pen in her hand and a million idea racing through her head, Juvia paused. Was she making the right choice? Should she wait until the others came back? Will Fairy Tail accept Juvia after everything is said and done? Will Erza hold resentment towards Juvia? Will the atmosphere of Fairy Tail change?

No, Juvia has to do this. She had to pour her heart into this letter in hope of getting the message across to her team. Juvia is grateful that her team was willing to risk their livelihood for Juvia's sake, but she couldn't allow them to make that mistake. They all would make a great addition to the guild.

"...And with that, Juvia is done," The Water mage sighed as she distanced herself from the sealed envelope. She left it to Hermes to deliver the message to the church hall and turned to Master Jose. With one more hopeful glance aimed at Juvia, Hermes sped off to the church. Without missing a beat, Juvia turned to her new master. "Juvia is ready to go."

"That's all you have to say, my dear Rain Woman," Master Jose smiled a little as a portal appeared in Juvia's living room. "Let's go back home..."

Meanwhile somewhere in Magnolia

LUCY'S POV

"Aphro, please calm down," Mavis, for beauty goddess, Aphrodite can run fast in those heels. We gotta be at least two miles away from the church. "Erza didn't mean any of that!"

"But, she's not the only one thinks that!" Aphro wiped the tears from her cheek. "No one thinks of me as a goddess. I'm just some airhead with a pretty face to the world!"

"I understand that completely," I pressed my hand against my chest. "People underestimate me all the time, but that doesn't stop me from trying to prove them wrong. And, that shouldn't stop you either."

"...Yo-You think so?" Aphro hiccuped.

"Yeah, with some training and practice, you can be as strong as Zeus." I pumped up the goddess. "So what do you say Aphro...wanna prove some people wrong?"

"Yeah...Yeah!" With determination burning her eyes, Aphrodite smiled as she stomped away. "Let's kick Erza's ass!"

"Wait, that's not what I meant!" I screamed as I chased after her key. The blond duo paused in their tracks when they sensed a powerful magic aura emitting from the alleyway. With my hand hovering over my key holder, I spoke up. "Wh-Who's there!?"

"Is that any way to treat a guildmate?" Kyushu emerged from the shadows with an innocent smile on her face.

"Kyushu, don't scare me like that," I dropped my guard a little. "What are you doing in a dark alleyway? Come with us, we're going back to the reception."

"I was planning on going to say my congratulation after I have a little discussion to Aphrodite,"

"Huh? Is there something you need from me? Love advise? Relationship problems?" Aphrodite tilted her head to the left a little.

"I have a proposition for you. Give yourself up to me and I'll spare Lucy Heartfilia," Kyushu simply offered. What did she mean by 'giving herself up'? Is she possessed or brainwashed?

"I don't understand what the offer is?"

"It's simple really. I'm bringing about a new world, and I'll spare Lucy Heartfilia from any and all harm if you, Aphrodite, hand your life to me." Kyushu took a step forward. "Please be smart about, after all, you wouldn't want to make the same mistake as Hera and Zeus, right?"

"What mistake did they make?" I frowned as I held back the urge to take Aphro and run away. Every fiber in my being was telling me to run. "Kyushu...what did you do to them?"

"I absorbed them," She rolled up her sleeve and showed her wrist to us. A lightning bolt and two cracked intertwined ring were sketched into her upper wrist. "With ease, I might add, so it might be best if you just give yourself up. I would hate for your last moments to be painful."

"No...No, I don't want to disappear." The tears rolled down her cheek. "I don't want to die. Not now!"

"Aphrodite, run and warn the others!" I gritted my teeth as I pulled out my whip. "I'll buy you some time!"

"I can't leave-"

"Just go! You wanted to be brave, right? This is your chance!" I called out. "Go warn the guild and your family!"

"Ah look at the damsel in distress acting brave," Kyushu chuckled dryly. "Do you truly believe that you of all people can beat me?"

"I don't have to beat. I just to get Aphro away from you!" I drew Gemini's key. "Open! Gate of the Twins! Ge-"

"Oh my, that's bold move." Kyushu slyly smirked. "What's to say I absorb one of your spirits? There's no telling what would become of them?"

She's right. I can't put any of them in danger. "Fine, Open! Gate of the Maiden, Virgo!"

"Yes Princess, how may I be of assistance?" Virgo asked as I unhooked my key holder and kept Virgo's singular key. "I need you to hold these until I summon you again."

Virgo paused as she evaluated the situation. I prayed to Master Mavis, Virgo would heed to my orders this once."...Very well," She bowed politely and disappeared with my keys in hand. "Good luck in your future battles."

"What an obedient spirit," Kyushu sighed with a small smile on her face. "It's a shame all your spirits aren't like her. Oh well, time for the massacre."

"Kyushu..." I whispered slowly before gritting my teeth. With my whip in hand and my Star Dress: Tarsus form activated, I stood my ground. "I won't allow you to lay a finger on Aphro!"

"Pity, you believe you have a say in this," Kyushu snapped her fingers. From up above, I watched in horror as a tornado and bolts of thunders struck the ground of us. Far beyond puzzled, I pushed my questions to the side as I dodged the incoming bolts. A gust of wind swept me off my feet and left me defenseless as Kyushu mercilessly summoned raging bolts of lightning, one after another.

Since when was Kyushu this powerful? "Wh-Why are you doing this? We're supposed to be family!"

"Oh spare me the act," She rolled her eyes. "I gave you change to stand aside, and you said no. If I must be honest, I have no ill will towards you in particular. You haven't wronged anyone that I know of, so I willing to spare you. For others in your so-called family, that is a different story."

"Wh-What?"

"Ah yes, I will kill several members of Fairy Tail eradicate every God and Goddess in existence."

"Yo-You can't." I tried pushing my body off of the ground but only found myself collapsing. "I-I won't let you."

"There you go again believing your opinion holds any weight in my eyes," Kyushu brought a tornado down onto my back. She watched unfazed as I screamed out in pain. "Now don't worry your pretty little head. I am not doing this for fun or out of the easing my boredom. No, this is my duty."

"Du-Duty? Are you some kind of double agent? Wh-Who are you working for?"

"No one but myself. I have no allegiance to Fairy Tail or the Gods." She shrugged. "After all, why would the source of all magic yield to anyone?"

"Th-The source of magic?" I winced in pain. "What are you talking about?"

"I see that no one has yet to put the pieces together," Kyushu came a conclusion. "I might as well tell you since it won't matter in the end. I'm the ancient deity known as Gaia, the origin of all magic. I am not some confused little girl with no memory."

"Gaia...Hades mentioned you..." I struggled to remain conscious.

"Ah, so my story was told," She shrugged before picking my numb body off the ground. "Well, with this part completed, I guess I should go track down Aphrodite. Did you think I was gonna leave you on the side of the road? Oh heavens no, we wouldn't want you to get rape, would we? Nighty night Lucy Heartfilia."

Phantom Lord's Headquarters

Juvia's POV

Stepping through the bleak portal, Juvia found herself in a familiar setting, Phantom Lord's guild hall. The place hasn't changed much from what little Juvia could remember, the same depressing and gloomy place...just like how she left it.

"Feeling nostalgic, my Rain Woman," Master Jose joked.

"A tad...are Aria and the other here as well?" Juvia asked. She able to keep in touch with Totomaru since he settled down in one place and began teaching. Juvia did visit him occasionally, but she could never convince him to visit Fairy Tail with his fear of Natsu and all. In the end, Totomaru was right for calling Natsu a 'demon' actually. Juvia would tell him, but there's no telling how he'll react.

"Ah yes, Aria and Sol were eager to restoring Phantom Lord to its former glory," Master said with pride in his voice. "Although it was only when Totomaru fell on hard times he decided to join, we are glad to have him here nevertheless."

"Juvia see...The Elemental Four has returned." Juvia smiled.

"Yes, now I must attend to some business," Master apologized for his departure. "Why don't you make yourself comfortable and reconnect with your guild members?"

"Juvia does wish to check on Totomaru?" Juvia told herself as the two of us went our separate ways. Readjusting her bag on her shoulder, Juvia made her way over to the open at the bar. "Is this seat taken?"

"Huh? Wh-Juvia!" Totomaru exclaimed before pulling Juvia into a tight hug. "What are you doing in a place like this?"

"Juvia decided to rejoin the guild." She answered as the two of us took our place at the bar. "What about Toto? Juvia thought you were teaching."

"I was until recently the school removed me." He sighed. Oh, that's horrible; Totomaru spoke so highly of his students. "No matter how hard I pressed, they never gave me an answer. With nowhere else to go, I fell back on old habits and ended up here."

"Juvia is sorry to hear that."

"It's alright. Once I get back on my feet, I'll be out of here in no time," He braved through his grievances. "What about you? I thought you and Gajeel joined Fairy Tail."

"Gajeel is still apart of Fairy Tail, and Levy, his girlfriend, is expecting." Juvia chuckled. "Gajeel even made Juvia the godmother."

"I see. That's good for him, unexpecting but good for him." He whispered before coughing. "And you?"

"...Juvia had to quit the guild," Juvia rubbed her arm. "Things became complicated between Juvia and some other members...Juvia doesn't want to go into much detail."

"I understand. It's a shame." The fire mage sighed. "When I watched the Grand Magic Games, you looked like you were enjoying yourself. It's a pity."

"Oh, it's fine. Juvia realized she wasn't meant for finer things in life."

"Is that why you came back to this place?"

"Well, to be completely honest, this wasn't Juvia's first choice," Juvia scratched her head. "It was only when Master Jose approached Juvia did Juvia actually decide to rejoin."

"...That's unsettling." Totomaru thought hard on about Juvia's words. "I would understand if it happened once but twice?"

"What is Totomaru talking about?" Juvia tilted her head to the side. Where is this conversation going?

"Question Juvia...did Master Jose find you right after you left Fairy Tail?" His face hardened as a stoic expression washed over him.

"Yes, Juvia was walking for a bit with a close friend when Jose found Juvia," The Rain Woman answered truthfully. "Why does it matter?"

"Shortly after I lost my job, Jose approached me as well," He admitted. "For it to happen to me, I thought it was weird, but for it happen to you as well? That reeks of a conspiracy."

"What is Totomaru saying? That Jose purposefully ruin our lives for the sake of the rebirth of Phantom Lord?" Juvia said with a hint of disbelief. "That's a tad insane, is it not?"

"Perhaps...I might be jumping to conclusions. Master Jose's hysteria must be rubbing off on me." He chuckled.

"Hysteria? Toto knows it's wrong to speak ill of the guild master no matter how true it is." Juvia playfully elbowed him.

"Can you blame me?" Totomaru smiled. "He walks around the guild and just talks to himself."

"And pray to tell what does Master Jose?" Juvia jokingly asked.

"I swear he says 'Yes Kronos', 'Brilliant Kronos', and 'That will work perfectly Kronos'. It's hilarious!" Toto entered a laughing fit as he rocked in his seat. Juvia, however, was paralyzed in fear. She had to get out. She couldn't stay here, not with Kronos holding the guild in his grasp. "Oh, it's better when the co-guild leader does it."

"Co-guild master?"

"Yeah, Master I-" Totomaru was interrupted by Master Jose signaling Juvia follow him to which Juvia was hesitant to do so. Every hair on Juvia's head stood as the master made his way over to Juvia. Oh, Mavis, what did Juvia get herself into?

"Is there a problem, my dear Rain Woman?" Jose offered his hand. "It's time to give you a guild mark."

"Ah yes, how co-could Juvia forget," Juvia forced a smile as she crossed out the potential options she had. Running away was out of the question, Juvia had no idea of where the new base was. If she tried to make a break for it, Juvia wouldn't know what is the fastest way to get away. To call the Gods, Juvia would be only putting them in danger. No, Juvia has to wait until she's alone in order to slip away. "Please, lead the way."

"Gladly, did you enjoy catching up with our resident fire wizard?" Jose smiled as he took Juvia upstairs to his office.

"Ah yes, Juvia did miss her conversations with Totomaru," She forced another smile. "Where are Sol and Aria? Juvia didn't see them."

"They should be around," Jose answered as he held the door open. Juvia tried to hold back her reluctant desires and stood in the center of a surprisingly empty room. "Closer than one would believe."

"Wha-" A chilling breeze ran behind Juvia neck as the realization hit her harder than Gajeel's iron cub. She was all too familiar with this presence. Before Juvia could react, she found herself caught in his Airspace spell. "Ari-AAAAAAAH!"

"It's so sorrowful that this was the end result," Aria whimpered as Juvia's body went limp and laid on the ground.

"You are right. Had Totomaru stayed quiet a little bit longer, things might have gone differently." Ivan Dreyar appeared out of thin air. The illusion of the room disappeared and revealed a large machine against the back wall with a chair and helmet attached. "Maybe we wouldn't need to do this so early."

"Wh-What are you going to do to Juvia?" The Rain Woman barely could muster the strength to struggle against Jose's grip as they strapped Juvia to the chair. "Wh-Why are you doing th-this to Juvia?"

"Because you're the key to unlocking immense power and unleashing Kronos upon our enemies," Ivan's eyes glistened with evil. "By brainwashing you, we'll have control of almost half of the Gods."

"Ple-Please, don't do this to Ju-Juvia," She pleaded tearfully.

"Now, why would we do that?" Jose said mockingly. "Face it, you've thrown your friends away. You're out of allies, out of options, and out of luck."

"That is where Jose is wrong!" Juvia glared at the men. "Juvia isn't alone anymore! Hermes!"

Like the loyal God, he is, Hermes appeared before every. "The hell..." The messenger god said as he equipped my staff. "The hell is going on!"

A/N: On the third day of Christmas, I gave myself three large cups of coffee, two sleepless nights, and one author in a striped blanket. So yeah, this is the last chapter I managed to write in the span of available time I had. This won't be the end, but I probably won't be able to submit another chapter until well after the 14th due to having Finals.
