"Juvia, what's wrong?"
Lucy looked at Juvia with a worried expression, now at a loss for what to do.
"Stop! Juvia doesn't want to be your puppet!!"
Juvia couldn't resist herself and gradually became captivated by the enchanting sounds, which clouded her mind and caused her appearance to change to resemble the long-haired man's, adopting a dark style.
Smoke billowed up, making it impossible for Lucy to see what was happening on the other side.
"Juvia!!" Lucy shouted, very worried about Juvia's condition.
"Hell, hell, let me show you the best hell ever, hahaha!!"
With her long, wavy hair and heavily made-up face, Juvia also appeared strangely before Lucy.
"Juvia, what on earth is going on?!"
"Clang~"
The long-haired man continued to play the guitar rapidly and frantically behind him, while Juvia, at this moment, was also dancing and spinning along with the music like a madman.
"Could it be the sound of a piano?" Lucy murmured, as if realizing something.
"That's right, she's been captured by this sleep demon, haha, she can only obey my orders now, she's no longer your companion."
"However, it wouldn't be fun if you were all taken prisoner at the same time. It's much more interesting to watch you fight each other."
Before Lucy could react after the long-haired man finished speaking, the noise from the guitar had already reached Lucy, and Juvia was also under his control, was looking at Lucy with a sinister gaze.
"You little brat who doesn't understand rock and roll, go to hell!"
Under the long-haired man's control, Juvia transformed into a powerful current of water, sweeping directly towards Lucy. His figure emerged from the water and began punching Lucy repeatedly.
"Juvia, wake up!!"
Lucy dodged left and right, but due to the significant difference in strength, she inevitably got hit by Juvia. Finally, a powerful water whip sent her flying backward.
"Juvia, didn't you want to join Fairy Tail? How could you treat your own comrades like this!"
"Yo yo yo, useless, this is really beautiful! Attack more!"
Seeing this situation, the long-haired man was delighted and played his guitar even more intensely, while Juvia also looked excitedly at Lucy lying on the ground.
Juvia's Magic Power surged wildly, and the raging torrent of water instantly engulfed Lucy.
"Hahaha, let's see how you resist now! Just shatter into pieces!"
"Juvia, wake up... I can't breathe." Lucy's breathing became increasingly difficult due to the force of the water.
"Lucy, Juvia isn't like that. Juvia really loves Fairy Tail, she thinks of her comrades, and she's happy and warm every day. Juvia never knew that Fairy Tail could be a place where you can laugh and play freely."
"It's rare to be able to mingle with everyone like this, but I never expected... Juvia would bring misfortune after all!"
Juvia's heartfelt words, carried on the flowing water and her tears, conveyed that warm feeling directly to Lucy: "So warm, Juvia's feelings are so warm!"
"Alright, it's time to deliver the final blow."
But as the long-haired man's stirring guitar music resounded throughout the empty pipe, Juvia threw Lucy directly to the ground.
"That's enough, I'll send you to the Western Paradise!" Juvia spun the water in his hand at high speed, looking at Lucy with murderous intent.
Lucy was unaffected by the long-haired man's voice. She slowly propped herself up and looked at Juvia with hope.
"Fairy Tail will never reject someone who can shed tears for their comrades, because that's what comrades are—something you can't understand!"
"The friendship between companions also gave me a great idea!"
Lucy stood up and told Juvia with a happy expression.
"Lucy..." Juvia looked at Lucy with tears in her eyes.
"Boring, Juvia, hurry up and deliver the final blow, bang bang!"
Seeing this harmonious scene, the long-haired man's eyes were filled with resentment and anger. He started playing the guitar frantically, completely erasing Juvia's senses, which had begun to regain some consciousness.
"OK, Tornado Water Saw, watch me shred you to pieces, hahaha."
Juvia spun around and charged at Lucy, kicking up dust as she struck.
Lucy quickly took the Celestial Spirit Key from her waist, held it in her hand, and meticulously waited for the right moment before plunging it straight into the waters of Juvia.
"Now! Open the Gate of Aquarius, Aquarius!"
"Ding-dong!"
This was indeed a good idea to summon Aquarius directly, but Lucy forgot one thing: Aquarius's attacks don't discriminate between you and me.
"Aren't you guys annoying? Summoning me at this crucial moment!! Die!"
"Ah, ah, ah, I completely forgot about that, umm, glug glug."
A huge wave erupted from the water bottle, sweeping Lucy, Juvia, and the long-haired man away, swirling them in the waves and bobbing up and down.
Juvia, are you alright?
Lucy, I'm fine. How are you?
Lucy and Juvia surfaced, their concern for their companion evident. The moment their hands touched, their Magic Power resonated and merged, unleashing a powerful surge of Magic Power from their bodies.
A large amount of water gushed out, and the long-haired man who was absorbing the water was directly swirled into a tornado and slammed into the ceiling.
With a "thud," his once proud hair fell out, leaving him bald on the ground.
"It worked! That's great!"
"Hey, you brat, how dare you summon me like that? Do you know I just finished planning a trip with my boyfriend?!"
"You won't be thinking of calling me out of the toilet next time, you wretched woman, you think I won't kill you, huh!"
Aquarius glared angrily at Lucy, who had just been happy, and accused Lucy with murderous intent. Lucy trembled in fear and dared not utter a word. Even Juvia, standing nearby, was terrified. "That's really scary!"
"Don't get too cocky! I'm going on a trip with my boyfriend for the next two weeks. If you dare to talk to me, you'd better watch out for your neck!! Got it?"
Aquarius gestured at her neck, silencing Lucy simply said, "Hi, okay."
"Well, you still won't find a boyfriend like this!" Aquarius turned and mocked Lucy's single status before disappearing from the spot, enraging Lucy. Clearly, she had hit a nerve.
"Mind your own business!"
Fairy Tail emerged victorious in this battle.
The Magic Power generated by Lucy and Juvia's Unison Raid was also sensed by Zorn and Jellal, and the two jumped away after a duel.
"This Magic Power! Fairy Tail is truly amazing! They can even cast Unison Raid!"
"So, Jellal, your plan is doomed to fail!"
"Haha, you really enjoy lecturing, Zorn."
Dark Paradise
After Jellal finished speaking jokingly, he raised his hands high, and a black hole that could devour everything slowly appeared, with everything around it being slowly sucked into the black hole.
