Hello! I told you, I'm trying to update faster. I know the chapters are shorter, but well... I suppose that's the price of speed. Anyhoo, read, enjoy, and above all, review!

Juvia Lockser

"What do you need, Lyon-sama?"

He smiled. "I just wanted to see you again, Juvia-sama. I told you not to call me that anymore." blushed. "Well, ah... Juvia is trying to get out of the habit, Lyon... san." He held me tightly in a warm embrace. "Don't feel bad, Juvia-kun. I'll love you no matter what you do." I was touched by his words. I kissed him and left, with my spirits somewhat.

How I wish that it was true.

Gray Fullbuster

The entire palace was in turmoil. Well, the Fairy Tail kind of turmoil. Though it didn't show, you could feel it. The air was thick, the faces around you showed despair, disbelief, dread, and worry. "Turmoil" in Fairy Tail was actually seemed calmer than the usual. Cana, a notorious drinking-gam winner and knightress, was barely touching her ale. Elfman, a large and boisterous warrior, kept his mouth shut. Natsu, the most annoying wizard that has probably set foot on Earthland, wasn't even attempting to start fights. Loke wasn't flirting. Even Erza wasn't doing anything. Usually she would chat with Mira, who long with her nursing duties, offered to manage the bar, or even read quietly with Levy. Something, was most definitely wrong.

I'm not going to pretend I don't know what it is, though. Nobody took the news King Makarov said lightly. War was coming, and nobody, but Makarov, and the S-Class Wizards, saw it coming. Levy walked up t me hesitantly. "Gray, do-do you think that..." Her eyes started to tear up. "Do you think we'll actually go to war with..."

She was afraid to even say it's name. The Phantom Lord Dynasty, renowned war capital of Fiore. In recorded history, they've never lost a battle. There are legends of a group called the Elementals, a group of the most powerful wizards in their kingdom. Totomaru, who can scorch the heavens, Sol, who can shake the earth to its core, Aria, who can make the heavens crash, and the newest member, Juvia, who is feared even by Neptune himself, the bender of the waves and oceans. Of course, the most feared was King Jose, the one who can turn life to death in the blink of an eye, who can make medicine into poison, and turn heaven to hell. We have every reason to fear what's coming next. Well, if they want Lucy, they'll have to go through Fairy Tail.

Loke (Leo)

Phantom Lord wants Lucy, huh? I turned to look at her. She was beautiful, really. She was definitely kind, and of course, a good friend. Especially to me, since I'm her's. I pledged to lay down my life for her, and I will. Even when she was small and always living in fear of her father's shadow, I'd protect her. I am not letting her go back there, to Phantom Lord, to... Jose. I refuse to call him a king. He is a tyrant, an evil-doer, nothing more, but maybe something less. I will never let you go there again, Lucy. I will make him pay for what he did to us, to you, because I... I

I love you.

Juvia Lockser

"Hey, watch it, pansy!" Gajeel growled, and pushed me to the side of the hallway.

"Ju-Juvia should be going." I quickly turned and walked away from Gajeel, heading the opposite way of where I was supposed to go and see Totomaru, who wanted to show me the artillery. Of course, Lyon strongly protested, but eventually he let it go and said I was an Elemental now, so I needed to know these things.

"Oi, Juvia!"

I was surprised to see Totomaru standing behind me, holding a loop of keys. "Where are you going?" I blushed. "Oh, well Juvia was going that way but then she passed Gajeel-san and she didn't want to anger him anymore than she already did..." He nodded. "That's understandable. Well, he's gone now, so why don't you come with me now?" I smiled and nodded gratefully. "Juvia thanks you greatly." He shrugged. "It's no problem, really."

He opened the door to reveal a dark, large but cluttered room. In the center, a large, looming shape stood. "Totomaru-san," I asked, my voice shaking, "What is that?" He smiled. "Oh, that? That's the Jupiter Cannon."

Erza Scarlet

"What?!" I looked disbelieving at Makarov. "That's impossible! No weapon on Earthland can hold that much power!" Makarov nodded grimly. "Yes, one weapon destroyed the Cait Sith Kingdoms. They put up a good fight, but they were no match for the Jupiter Cannon."

"They're were no survivors?"

"No," Makarov said, "Wendy Marvell." I gasped. "Why are you telling me this?"

"Because I'm going to tell everyone. In times like these, we can keep no secrets from each other."

Then, the guilt set in.

There you have it? Wendy's past? What is Erza hiding? Find out... next time! Please review! I'll put in an update soon i I at least get two!
