Chapter 16: The Battle of Love? Weiss vs. Juvia!

The sun rises over Magnolia, starting a brand new day for the Fairy Tail guild. And the guild's day started like any other day.

"What was that, Ice Princess?!" Natsu shouted, getting in Gray's face.

"You heard me, Lizard Breath!" Gray shouted back.

"How about I melt you like the ice cube you really are!" Flames engulfed Natsu's hand.

"Just try it, Flame Brain!" Ice particles surround Gray's hand.

Juvia stood behind one of the pillars, looking at the ice make wizards lovingly. 'Oh Gray…' she thought. 'You're so dreamy when you argue like that.'

"Would you two shut up?!" Weiss shouted getting in between the arguing wizards. "I may have been here for a few days but I had enough of you two arguing like children! For once, act like you age!" Then she started to walk towards the guild's entrance and looked back at Gray. "Come on Gray, let's go."

"Uh…ok…" Gray said with a sweat drop, following the heiress.

Juvia watched to the two walk out of the guild hall with an annoyed look on her face. 'Who the hell does she think she is taking Gray away like that?!' she thought. Then a scene between Weiss and Gray started to play in Juvia's head. In Juvia's mind, Weiss was slowly walking towards Gray as the Ice Make wizard was backing away.

'Come on Gray, there's no one around but us.' Weiss said in an unusual sultry tone as she got closer to Gray.

'But what about Juvia?' Gray said in an innocent tone.

'Forget about her. Just focus on me for now.' As Weiss's face got closer to Gray's, the scene stopped and Juvia's face was red and anger and determination.

"No, I won't lose Gray's love!" Juvia shouted out loud. "Not to her or anyone else!" Blake and Yang looked at Juvia with a sweat drop as she stormed out of the guild hall after Gray and Weiss.

"What's her deal?" Yang asked confused.

"Sounds to me, Juvia have a thing for Gray." Blake answered, turning back to the book Levy let her borrow.

"Ice boy?" Then a smirk formed on Yang's face as an idea popped into her head.

Blake looked at her partner and closed the book with a sign escaping her lips. "What are you thinking about Yang?" Blake asked.

"I don't know what you mean Blake" Yang said, trying to feign innocence but it wasn't fooling Blake.

"You can't fool me, Yang. You have a terrible poker face. So what was that smirk about?"

"I was thinking that maybe we've got a show to see."

"What do you mean by that?" Blake asked.

"I mean Weiss and Juvia fighting over a guy." Yang answered. "It'll be fun to watch, right?"

"I swear sometimes I think that you're worst than your sister. Besides, I don't Weiss likes Gray like that. You just wanted to see what type of magic Weiss uses."

"Well…" Yang said, lighting scratching her cheek.

"Why don't you just ask her?" Blake asked. "You're using your wanting to see her fight as an excuse.

"I think she might have hard time explaining it. I wanted to see what she can do first hand."

Blake looked down at her book, remembering that Weiss didn't reveal what magic she could to the other member of Team RWBY. She knows that Ruby's magic is the same as her semblance, which is speed. She knows that Yang can fire magic and she revealed that she has Take Over magic. But Weiss never told them what she can do. "I am interested to see Weiss's magic as well."

"Then let's follow them!" Yang shouted as she grabbed Blake's arm and dragged her out of the guild hall.


As the two huntresses left the guild hall, Erza walked to the guild's bar where Makarov was sitting with the guild's newest exceed, Panther Lily.

"Any luck finding a way to get Ruby and her friends back to their world?" Makarov asked.

"No, I haven't." Erza said. "I've never known a teleportation spell that could send someone from one world to another in a way they told us unless there was some sort of text written in the pages."

"That is true but Blake said that the pages were blank when they opened the book. Perhaps when they opened it, it must've triggered the spell."

"Or maybe the book was laced with something else." Lily suggested.

"What do you mean?" Erza asked, looking at the exceed.

"Do you remember how you returned from Edolas?"

"You're talking about the reverse anima. If that's that case, how would it affect them when they didn't have any magic energy when the package was opened?"

"I'm not sure. They must have their magic energy hidden deep inside them since they used their new powers in their battles."

"We can't rule out any possibilities on how they arrived in Earth Land." Makarov said. "Right now, we should focus on helping them get used to their magic."


Weiss followed Gray towards Mt. Hakobe to continue learning how to use Ice Make magic. As they were walking, they saw Juvia in their path.

"Juvia, what are you doing here?" Gray asked,

"I'm here to challenge Weiss for your love, my daring!" Juvia shouted.

Weiss and Gray looked at Juvia blankly for a few seconds. But their eyes widen when what Juvia said sink into their heads. "WHAT?!" They shouted in unison.

"What on earth are you talking about?!" Weiss exclaimed.

"I just couldn't stand the thought of my darling spending so much time with another woman!" Juvia shouted, her eyes piercing Weiss like daggers. "Lucy was bad enough but this I can't allow anymore!" The water wizard pointed at finger at Weiss. "So I challenge you, Weiss Schnee, to a duel for Gray's heart!"

"Since when did I become a trophy?!" Gray exclaimed.

Behind a nearby tree, Yang and Blake were watching the scene play out in front of them. "Whoa, talk about someone being obsessed." Yang said quietly.

"Love can make people to do crazy things." Blake said quietly.

"You call that love, I call it crazy."

Weiss sighed and looked at the Juvia. "Listen Juvia, I don't know what's going through your mind." She said. "But I'm not interested in Gray like that. He's just helping with my magic, that's all. But if it's a fight you want, I'll be more than happy accommodate you."

Juvia charged towards Weiss as her body transformed into water. But Weiss remained claim. She let a deep breath, letting the magic energy flow through her body. Gray tried to stop Juvia but rushed past him and towards the heiress.

"Water Slicer!" Juvia shouted, firing a barrage of water blades at Weiss.

"What's Weiss doing?" Yang whispered confused. "Why isn't she drawing Myrtenaster?" Then Blake and Yang started to feel the temperature rapidly decrease. "What the…why did it get cold all of the sudden?"

"Yang, look…" Blake said, pointing at Weiss. Yang looked at the heiress and saw black snow circle around Weiss's arms.

"Ice God's…" Weiss shouted as black snow swirl around her hands. "Snow Cannon!" Weiss launched a blast of black snow and ice at the charging Juvia, blowing her away and the water could touch her. Blake and Yang widen their eyes at Weiss as Juvia fell to the ground in a daze.

Juvia shook her cobwebs loose and saw Weiss standing over her. "I…lost…" Juvia said disappointed. She saw Weiss extended her hand to her. Juvia took it as Weiss helped her to her feet. "I guess that means you deserve Gray more than I do." Weiss tensed up when Juvia said that. "I'll leave you two alone." She let go of Weiss's hand as she hung her head in a slump and headed back to the guild. Gray and Weiss watched the depressed Juvia leave with a sweat drop.

"She's way out there, isn't she?" Weiss asked.

"A little bit but she means well." Gray said, putting a hand on Weiss's shoulder. "That was some pretty impressive magic you used."

"Thank you. I don't know how it happened but suddenly a whole array of spells appeared in my head."

"Don't worry." Gray let go of Weiss's shoulder and continued to walk towards the snow covered mountain. "Give it some time and you'll get used to it." Weiss quickly ran up to Gray and the two began to walk through the forest again.

'So that was God Slayer magic?' Weiss thought as an idea popped into her head. 'Maybe…"

As Weiss left with Gray, Blake and Yang came out of hiding, still shocked at what they saw. "Well that was a thing." Yang said. "I guess that was Weiss's magic huh? That's pretty cool."

'That black snow…' Blake thought. 'What kind of magic was that?'

"Hey Blake, let's head back to the guild." Yang said, snapping out of her train of thought. Blake nodded and the two headed back into town to continue their training as well.


"Hey, we're back!" Ruby shouted as she, Lucy, and Wendy entered the guild hall. Lucy and Wendy walked over to Levy as Ruby headed towards the guild's bar.

"Hey Ruby, how did your first job go?" Mira said to the young huntress.

"It went pretty well." Ruby said. "Um…is Erza around?" Mira nodded and pointed at one of the tables behind where Erza was sitting and eating a slice of her favorite cake. Ruby thanked her and walked to the scarlet haired knight. "Erza…"

"Hello Ruby." Erza said. "Did you need something?"

"Yeah…can you teach me how to use Requip Magic?"

Erza looked into Ruby's silver eyes and saw a look of determination written on her face. A smile formed on Erza's face as she stood up from her seat. "Of course I will." She said as she walked past the young leader of Team RWBY. "Follow me." Ruby nodded and followed Erza out of the guild hall.

Ruby: I can't believe it's been weeks since me and my team fought those Nightwing guys. They've been silent since we've beat them. But I can't help but feel that they're planning something big. But what? Next time: Nightwing on the Move. Whatever it is, Team RWBY is going to stop them.
