Chapter 31: Stigma Control

-Lucy PoV-

"You want me to do what?!"

Cobalt just said he wanted me to drain Kuma of her demonic energy when she jumps. How the hell am I suppose to do that?! Thats exactly what I asked too, and he just shrugged.

"Your the stigma. Figure it out."

My hand wanted to smack that boy right upside the head so fast!

"Wait, YOUR a stigma?!"

Surprisingly that came from Shô and Milliana. Nodding they glanced at each other and back to me. "Oh. Well were surprised because when Luka was asking for the stigma..." Shô started.

"We thought he was talking about us. We have a stigma as well." Milliana finished and my eyes widened in shock. More stigmas! "Awesome! Can you control it?" Sadly they both shook there head. "We've only known of one person who can do that." I sighed and nodded.

"To bad he's a big jerk." I grumble to myself and suddenly Milliana was on me. "Youve MET him?! Demon Dreyar the Great?!"

"Great asshole? Yes I have!" I hear Gray snort at my sarcastic cheery response and Shô sighed. "Anyways, Ladies we can all work together to draw out her energy long enough so that her demonic form stays but the effects of a vampire wont apply to her. We'll be doing this by pushing her energy and ours in a never ceasing circle by holding hands. Once she splashes she should be back in her human form. After that we push all of that demonic energy towards the bottom of the ocean." Milliana, Cobalt and I stared at Shô. "And you know this is gonna work how...?" I questioned because he sounded waayyy to sure.

"I dont." Shô replied and I gulped. Please let this work! Milliana Shô and I stepped out pf the boat and Gray froze us a seat. Thanking him we sit and Juvia and Cobalt start pushing their arms out in a circular position. Soon enough a cyclone like thing engulfed us and the ice dissappeared. The three of us started chanting at the same time without warning.

Shô: kami no me

Milliana:kanashimi no me

Lucy:Kixyoufu no me

Suddenly a black mist fell down from the sky and I knew Kuma was falling. The mist stopped above our heads and split into three, entering through our mouths. Milliana and Shô's stigmas appeared and Im guessing so did mine. The demonic energy started to flow from one arm through the heart to the other and into the hand holding mine on the left. I can hear Milliana 'meow' in pain. Shô grinds his teeth. Its already hard fo us stigmas to control our own demonic energy, adding more is suicidal.

Kuma falls and as soon as her body makes contact with water she detransforms and falls deep into the sea. Quickly she kicks and splashes up, gulping for air.

"NOW!" Milliana screams.

At the same time we let go and dive underwater. Letting out a drowned scream I let the demonic energy leak towards the bottom. Milliana had let her hands out, palm first, and the stream of miasma flew towards the bottom with Shô's river of energy. Quickly we swim back up and Juvia Gray and Cobalt help us back on the small boat.

"We did it! We controlled it!" Milliana cheered and Shô laughed. "Yeah we did!" He agreed.

"I dont know what the hell you guys just did but it was awesome!" Gray cheered and Juvia agreed. Kuma stared off into space with a shocked expression.

"Whats wrong girlie? You survived the jump!" Gray questioned, playfully poking her cheek. "What was the direction you guys shot that energy?" She asked nervously. "The ground..." I reply, afraid of what she was going to say.

"I feel it going towards the tower and if it hits it then it might speed up the tower's explo—" The waves began to crash. "-Sion" She finished weakly and I want to kick scream and cry. Shit just keeps getting worse doesnt it? No matter how hard we fight back something wad gonna hit harder tenfold.

"NATSSUUU! WHERE ARE YOU?!"
