"Die!" The female magic used a sort of telekinesis to force Wendy into the wall of the narrow hallway, the pressure steadily increasing, "I want to hear your bones snap…" She said with a sadistic grin.
"T-Tenryū no... Hōkō!" Wendy managed to fire off a Sky Dragon's Roar at the female, sending her through the wall, causing Wendy to fall on the color, coughing. Wendy quickly stood up, her body giving off a faint aura, "Fast wind that run the heaven, VERNIER! Power of the stout arms that tears heaven... ARMS." Her body then gave a glow as her offensive and speed were increased. Using her new enhancements, she flew into the hole the Dark Mage made, spotting the mage outside the building, most likely at the back now, slowly getting up.
"You brat…" The mage slowly got up, dusting her off, "Melody, Surge, Byron, Greg, and I, Veronica, will crush you Fairy Tail Wizards!" A think purple substance appeared over Veronica's hands, "I'll let the poison take care of you!"
Wendy's eyes widened at the scent of poison; if she was hit by that, she knew she'd be in major trouble, "I have to watch out…!" She thought; Veronica quickly cut off her thoughts by rushing forward with lightning fast punches. Luckily, Wendy had increased her own speed, so she was able to keep pace with the poisonous mage as she dodged the punches, as dodging was all she could do now.

"This girl is crazy…" Gray panted, knowing he was on the losing end on his battle with Melody. His body covered in bruises and cuts as he looked over at the silver haired Silver Make Mage, who was also covered in bruises, but far less than Gray. Silver was just far stronger an element than ice, and his attacks weren't cutting it to break through her defenses. "What's your deal?"
"My deal?" Melody stared at Gray, curious as to what he meant.
"Yeah!" Gray said while sliding back into the Maker stance. "You're all the way up here in these mountains, causing trouble and for what? Erza said the job description about you guys exists is because you're hounding young girls, isn't that right?!"
"Correct!" Melody nodded. "I might spoil all the details for you, since you're hot..." Despite the fact they were in the snowy mountains, Melody just felt hot looking at Gray and his shirtless body. "Not too long ago, a little girl ran away from home. So we were hired to find her, dragging along any girl who looked like she did just to be sure she wasn't trying to trick us! But we have word that she was spotted here in these mountains. We just want to bring her to safety!"
"I feel sorry for whoever you're looking for. Safe is the last thing she'd be with wizards like you. But your search ends now." Gray said confidently.
"The master won't mind if I drag your unconscious body back inside, I'm sure." Melody giggled, her eyes glued to Gray as she watched Gray's every moment. "Don't get such a big head because Titania knocked me down. I think you forget...I'm basically an S class too, so that means you're powerless against me~!"
"Even crazier than Juvia…" Gray shook his head, knowing he had to end this battle right now, "Ice Make: Ice Bringer!" Two large blades of ice appeared in his hands; he then rushed forward towards Melody, slashing the blades in an X formation.
"Silver Make: Wall!" A sliver wall shot up in front of Melody just as Gray slashed, his swords vanishing and the wall shattering. A sick grin slowly appeared on Melody's face a magic circle appeared in her hand, "Silver Make:-" She then squeaked from pain as a magical bullet flew through her stomach. Her eyes rolled into the back of her head as she fell back into the snow, unconscious as her blood stained the white snow.
"What the!?" Gray turned around, spotting a tall, slender male with messy black hair, blue eyes, long sleeved shirt, black pants and shoes, standing a few yards away from the actual battle scene itself with a sniper rifle.
"Oh, look at that, I hit her," The male smirked, the sniper rifle he was holding fading away. "But are we really surprised about that?"
"You…" Gray turned, looking at the male with disgust.
"Calm down, stripper boy," the male said, walking right past Gray. "I think I should be hearing a thank you. After all, you were just about to be put into the dirt here."
"What are you doing here?" Gray demanded, standing in place. "And like hell I'm gonna thank you! This was my fight!"
"On an S Class job, of course," the male replied, "If you haven't noticed, if Titania couldn't do the job, then that means we'll have to pick up here slack. And it looks like she brought backup...that needed backup. Hah." His laugh was mocking and it got under Gray's skin.
"That's not the point," Gray replied, frowning, "We're making sure those guys pay for what they did to Erza, you have no business in this."
"Ah, ah, ah…that doesn't matter to me." The male replied once more waving a finger, "Like I said, I'm on a job, along with a few others. In addition, it's our job to make sure those guild members are down, like that one there. Don't get in our way, or I just might have to shoot you down. I already contacted the Council before I even left the guild. We're going to leave them a little present of a completed job as soon as they get here. That's more than you guys could deliver."
"Who do you think you are…?" Gray growled, still panting, weak from his previous battle.
"Reve Volver, S Class mage of White Eclipse," Reve smirked, walking into the mansion, "I'm always in range before you know I exist. Just ask her." He chuckled before stepping inside, Gray following right behind him.

"Tenryū no Yokugeki!" Wendy expelled a sharp whirlwind of air from her arms inflicting damage on Veronica, also blowing her back a bit.
"Gah!" Veronica slid back across the snow on her feet, planting her hand on the ground to stop herself, "You just don't know when to quit…This is why we usually let the Master take care of things…" She then lunged forward towards the young bluenette once again, swinging a poisonous fist at her. Wendy's eyes widened as she jumped to the side, the poison grazing her arm, easily tearing through her sleeve; otherwise, Wendy was unharmed.
"I have to finish this now…" Wendy then opened her mouth, starting to inhale the air so she could regain her magic power.
"Oh no you don't!" Veronica pointed her hands forward, sending a thick poisonous ball towards Wendy.
"Wendy!" Carla swooped in, wings out, grabbing Wendy and lifting her off into the air.
"Carla!" Wendy felt a sudden rush of confidence now that her trusted Exceed was here. "I'm finishing this battle now! Drop me!" Carla nodded, dropping Wendy. "Sky Dragon's Claw!" Wendy swung her leg down at Veronica, a high-pressure wind sending the dark mage back into the building, covering her with rubble. Wendy landed on the ground, panting with a large grin, "I-I did it!"
Carla grinned at Wendy's victory, thinking to herself how much stronger Wendy has gotten since she actually started fighting. She was proud of the Dragon Slayer, and showed it with her grin, "Good job, Wendy!"
"I can't rest yet…" Wendy started walking into the mansion once again. She was withholding a mild cough and sneeze. She'd never been up in these mountains before, so admittedly, the weather was starting to get to her a little. But she pushed through, because they were in a mission and her friends were still fighting. "I have to see if the others need my help…!"
