A/N: Gahhh! D: I haven't been able to update in forever! _

I'm sorry for the wait you guys, but I hope that you enjoy!

I've also decided to respond here to the "Anonymous" Reviews, since I can't send them a PM, and I feel bad if I don't reply. XD But because I'm lazy, I'll just do it for all the "Anonymous" Reviews I got from the last chapter. ^^;

To Shirayuki who said:

I hope they could really release Jellal though.. This is one AWESOME story. Keep up the good work, (:

I'd like to say, "Thank you very much! :D Heehee, I try my hardest. And I hope that it happens in the actual Fairy Tail plot-line too! I actually cried at the end of the Oracion Seis Arc. T_T"

Warning: Not only do I NOT own Fairy Tail, I have just inserted a slightly OOC Juvia. Sort of. Not really. She just got. . . angry. Really angry. ;D

Warning No. 2: I'm not completely sure about everyone's magical capacities, so… I made some of them up. XP Don't hurt me!


When Juvia awoke next, she found that she was sprawled out on an extremely uncomfortable bed that made it feel as though she were sleeping on a rock. She felt a somewhat wet cloth on her forehead, and the feeling as though someone was watching her. Sure enough, on the other side of the jail cell sat a teenage boy in a wooden chair. His hair was ash blonde and tousled, and he had bright, knowing green eyes. His hair was a bit long, and got into his eyes a bit, but this just seemed to accentuate the beautiful green of his eyes. The boy's expression was merely curious, and Juvia knew that he must be around the same age as Natsu.

Juvia simply stared at him for a moment, and the boy let out a low chuckle. "Gosh, what are you staring at?" Juvia's brow furrowed just the slightest, and she opened her mouth to respond, but the boy cut her off. "And who the hell are you?"

Juvia had no idea what to say. If she was honest, she would jeopardize the mission, and if she lied, there was a chance that she'd only upset the guy, and make him aware the prison guards. Though he was probably going to sound the alarm soon anyway. . .

The boy seemed to also think through exactly what Juvia was thinking. "I have my ways of knowing if you're lying to me or not. If you do that, I'll just have to scream for help quicker than I need to."

Juvia could do nothing but pale. Realizing that her best option was to tell the truth, just not too much of it, Juvia did exactly this. "Juvia."

The boy before her raised a curious eyebrow. "Juvia?" The girl in question nodded eagerly. "My name's Henry. Now, what are you doing using magic to infiltrate my water? Huh, Juvia?"

Juvia furrowed her brow a bit, but knew that she could not lie to the boy. Instead, she tried to fight his question with another question. "Why have you not reported Juvia yet?"

If Henry knew that she had just avoided his question, he didn't show it. He merely shrugged and said, "I'm not sure. I guess it was the mere curiosity of it all. Now seriously. Answer my question." This Henry guy managed to pull a knife? Dagger? From seemingly nowhere, and in a flash was holding the tip of it right to Juvia's heart.

Her eyes widened considerably, and her pace that had just begun to calm itself down picked up rapidly. "W-W-What?" The boy's eyes simply narrowed, and he pushed the dagger closer to her skin, and Juvia let out a gasp as she felt it prick her skin just enough to release some of her precious blood. The boy smirked slightly, but did nothing more. "I-I-I came to help Mister Jellal."

Henry stared at her and said nothing for a moment or two. "What do you mean help Mister Jellal?"

And that's when Juvia broke out into the tragic story of Erza and Jellal. Their childhood. His corruption. Not being able to see each other for the longest time. When he finally turns back to normal, he is sentenced to remain the rest of his life in jail, never able to see Erza again.

At first, Henry just seemed skeptical. But over the long duration of the story, the pressure he put on the knife he held to her chest weakened. He frowned when he realized that she had finished. "That it? You're just trying to help a lovesick friend?" Juvia nodded slowly, and was shocked that Henry broke out into cruel, ringing laughter. "Love? You went through so much because of love? Love is nonexistent, a mere term that has been used once too many times, something that-"

And that's when Juvia snapped. Not even realizing what she was doing, she sat up and punched Henry square in the jaw. She didn't care that this had caused the dagger he had been holding to slash its way into her skin. She didn't even think about how in hell he had managed to sneak a dagger into a damn prison cell. Henry, out of shock more than pain, dropped the knife and touched his jaw tenderly. Yeah, that was probably going to bruise in the morning.

He glowered at Juvia, but before he could say anything, it was Juvia who spoke up. "Juvia doesn't know why you think like that. But Juvia knows that the way you think is not a good way to. Juvia knows that love exists, and Juvia is in love herself." She allowed herself to pause in which she envisioned herself being embraced tightly in Gray's arms. "Juvia will do anything and everything in her power to help Erza-Chan. Even if it means getting sent to jail herself." The boy simply guffawed at her, seeing as he had probably written her off as the type of girl that was a weakling. "Now, get the hell out of my way."

It took a while, but eventually he recovered. His cocky grin was back. "I can always call out right now you know. Alert the prison guards." Juvia glowered at him. And then she realized something that she hadn't realized before. Henry, though now arrogant, had allowed her rest. She was awake now, had enough energy to punch him pretty hard. Meaning that she had energy. Enough energy so that she wouldn't faint. Enough energy to probably use magic. She hid her grin behind a cleverly disguised cough.

"You wouldn't do wouldn't." Henry blinked at her words, as though he was about to consider this, but then shook his head quickly.

"No way! No way in hell! G-" Juvia cut him off by pointing her opened palm at the wet rag he had placed on her forehead, and quickly whipping what little was left to his abdomen, using all the force she could muster. He doubled over, face red, and Juvia took this as an opportunity to gag him with the water that she had just whipped him with. He could still breath, he was just incapable of making any noise whatsoever.

Juvia let the huge grin appear onto her face. And threw her hands up into the air. Juvia could hear the wind blowing, its howl echoing loudly in the now quiet prison cell. She could practically feel the water condensing above her in massive, gray clouds, soon to be overwhelmed so badly that they would fall. Fall as rain. She concentrated harder until she heard it. BOOM!

Juvia smirked. Alright, so she was desperately lost and had no current hope of getting out of her predicament. She had yet to locate Jellal, and she was stuck with an a arrogant bastard. But so what? She was almost positive that Wendy and Lisanna heard the loud, shrieking of the wind. She was sure that they were planning her rescue mission right at that instant. Juvia caught the eye of Henry, whose expression was now terrified, shocked, and full of wonder. Scowling, Juvia kicked him in his stomach. Hard. She smiled as she saw the agony etched on her face.

"Take that you bitch."


Lisanna looked up, expression grim. Damn. This is one storm. . . Could it possibly be. . .?

"Lisanna-San. Do you think that this Juvia's signal?", Lisanna turned to look at the short brunette a few feet away from her. Wendy stood in the center of the clearing they had found, and her dark hair was whipping around, and her back was turned to Lisanna. Lisanna shifted uncomfortably in her position leaning against the tall tree, but made no move to respond to the young Dragon-Slayer. Abruptly, Wendy twisted her neck to the left, looking over her shoulder to face the older mage. Lisanna was shocked to see a grimace that matched her own on Wendy's features. Yet, she still saw the frantic worry in Wendy's eyes. She's nervous too.

Slowly, Lisanna nodded and stood up. "Yeah. Let's go."


Juvia genuinely had no idea where she was going, or what she was planning to do. All she knew was that she was running. Hard. Fast. Stealthily. Her lungs ached with the lack of oxygen she was taking in, but Juvia merely fought the urge to breathe. If she stopped, or took a breath too loudly at the wrong time, it could possibly be her end.

She had left that Henry guy bound and gagged in a corner of his cell. A perfect place so that any passing guard wouldn't be able to tell that anything was wrong. Of course, by tomorrow morning they would find him, and he knows what that imbecile would end up telling them. Juvia inwardly cursed herself for sharing so much information with the boy. If he spilled the beans, the Council would be sure to blame Fairy Tail without a second thought, and it would all be her fault.

Using her remaining strength, she did all in her power to force the thoughts away, even though they seemed to keep on coming. Focus on finding Jellal. Focus on finding escape.

Juvia continued her race down the corridor, willing her footfalls to remain as silent as remotely possible. It was dark, her only light the dim glow of the torches that lighted the hallways and staircases. The same torches that seemed like they were soon to snuff themselves out. Juvia inwardly cursed at herself more for not punching Henry's lights out sooner. She had wasted valuable time.

Still, she dashed toward staircase number one. If her gut feeling was correct, there was only two floors. Still. . . when she got there how would she find Jellal without notifying the guards? She shook the thought away, threw open the door and bounded up the stairs, sub-consciously hearing the BOOM! BOOM! of the thunder outside the dull prison walls.


Lisanna wasted no time plotting Juvia's rescue. Actually, scratch that. She wasn't even sure if Juvia needed to be rescued, but if she did, Lisanna had no plan up her sleeve whatsoever. Nope, she had left that task to Wendy, which probably wasn't the smartest move. But right now, Lisanna had to focus all of her intelligence on the task at hand. Infiltrating the prison, locating Juvia, and finding out what the deal was. At least, that was what they had agreed on at the start of the mission. Lisanna still had no idea how on Earth she was going to do that.

Of course, she had one part of that plan settled. She had transformed herself into a housefly, and was currently buzzing over towards the jailhouse. And yet, it was still difficult. Why? Because none of the three had taken into consideration the fact that if she was supposed to come in as a fly to help Juvia during a thunderstorm (which of course, just happened to be their signal), then the winds and precipitation around her would make Lisanna's flying extremely difficult.

Dammit.

Haha, NEXT TIME: Part III of Juvia's mission. How will it go for her? Will Lisanna get there in time? Will Juvia be able to find Jellal before its all over, or will she run out of time? Or (if worse comes to worse) will she even be caught? Find out next time! :D
