"Juvia, what have you done to her!", I say enraged. 

"The water witch has leveled up", said Neptune. 

~ICE MAKE: LANCE~ I yell attacking Neptune.

"Disappear", said Neptune as my ice attack vanished.

"It vanished!", I say in shock.

"Water has three phases, solid, liquid, and gas, I just turned your solid into a liquid and then turned it into gas", said Neptune. 

"Let me guess, ice is ineffective against you?", I ask.

"It's only natural", said Neptune. 

~Ice Demon Slayer Form~

~ICE IMPACT~ I yell hitting him hard.

"You.... you're a demon!", yelled Neptune who took massive damage.

"I slay them", I say. 

~DEMON BOOST: Artic Chill~

"What's that?", asked Silver.

"I freeze my blood, making my body lighter so my speed rises, I freeze my hands so my punch hits harder and I freeze my foot so I freeze wherever I walk", I say as the rain itself froze. 

"Impossible, he froze Neptune's rain", yelled Amphitrite.

"Now for the finisher", I say.

~Ice Demon Blade~ ABSOLUTE ZERO LONG SWORD as Neptune froze in fright. 

Neptune then blew a sigh of relief, my attack was blocked by Juvia, not only that but she blocked my Absolute Zero Long Sword with one finger. No one has ever been able to stop this attack.

"Juvia", I say as she shattered my attack.

"Gray", she said as she charged towards me. 

~Water Whip~ she yelled as a whip flew straight at me.

~Absolute Zero~ Polar Wind~ I chant.

"A spell to freeze the oxygen in the air", says Neptune as he got up.

Juvia's water whip then froze in mid-air as it fell to the ground. 

"Juvia, please snap out of this, whatever attack you throw at me will freeze before it even reaches me", I say to her.

"Seems you think my attack won't reach you", said Juvia. 

"You seem to only think I modified her magic power, I did a lot more than that", said Neptune as he sat down.

....

"~Water DRAGON'S ROAR~ yelled Juvia as a blast of water was shot at me.

It took 4 seconds to completely freeze, her water kept going turning into ice but her attack didn't stop, the ice hurdled at me at an incredible speed, hitting me at point-blank range.

"You turned Juvia into a Dragonslayer?", I say as I grit my teeth.

"Her body was more than compatible for the process, not even Amphrite could withstand the Dragonslayer lacrima, this woman has an incredible innate power within her, she's even strong enough to surpass me, the God of Water", said Neptune. 

"Don't go probing Juvia", I say as my magic power raises.

"I'd like to say she enjoying it but she screamed for Gray-sama the entire time", said Neptune.

That was it, that was my breaking point. 

~ICE CANNON~ I yell.

"Water Slicer", yelled Juvia cutting my attack on two.

"Snap out of it Juvia", I yell. 

~WATER DRAGONS HEAVY FIST~ yelled Juvia.

Her speed increased, she knocked me aside with her fist, not only that, when I hit the ground, her water froze trapping me inside.

I did what any Ice slayer would do.

"Thanks for the meal", I say as I get up.

"You ate my ice", says Juvia.

~Ice Make~ Boomerang!" I yell. 

~Water whip~ yelled Juvia.

"Your attacks cannot reach me, Gray, you are not on my level", she said as she charged towards me. 

"She's right, everyone just got stronger while I remained, I watched everyone power up", I say to myself.

~Water Dragons NEBULA~ yelled Juvia as I flew up into the air. 

She then used her water and shot up into the sky.

~Water Dragons Dance~ she yelled as she hit me with a flurry of kicks sending me flying to the ground below.

"Juvia", I say as I cough.

"With air and water, I merge into an orb, when it hits you it explodes as the wind contained in the orb cuts you", says Juvia as she freefell from the sky.

~Magical Elemental Fusion: Water Dragons Wind Spiral~ she yelled as the wind cuts my body.

Blood dripped as I struggled to get up. 

"I cannot defeat you Juvia", I say as a tear ran down my eyes.

"Gray! What are you doing!", yelled Ur. 

"Dumbass!", yelled Silver as he ran to me.

"You're not going anywhere", yelled Leviathan as he knocked him away. 

.....

"Iced Shell huh?", says Neptune. 

"Gray!", yelled Lyon. 

I stammered as I approach Juvia. 

"You cannot wish to defeat me so you're gonna trap me inside ice for eternity?", says Juvia as she looked me in the eyes.

"We'll freeze together forever Juvia", I say to her.

"Bullshit", says Juvia as she slapped me.

"Is it bullshit? You're crying", I say as she notices a tear running down her cheek. 

"What is going on? What is this feeling", asked Juvia as she looked at Neptune. 

"This is dangerous!", said Neptune who ran towards me.

The rain then came down heavily, it was as if the sky was crying, the rain felt so warm as it pattered across my face. 

"What is this feeling?", said Juvia as she backed away from me. 

"Do we die together or do we live together Juvia?", I say to her.

"This is unlike you Gray, what game are you playing!", yelled Juvia.

~Water Cane~ she yelled but I froze her attack. 

"So you do remember me?", I say to her as I moved closer.

"What is this, what is happening, my mind, its... it hurts", says Juvia as she yelled.

There I was, in front of her. face to face with Juvia.

"You're a little out of it right now, so I can confess something to you, the reason I do what I do, the reason I give you no attention and shun you away", I say with tears in my eyes.

"Gray", she says.

"I lost everyone I hold close to my heart, Ur, Silver, Ultear, they were all taken from me, I can't allow myself to love you Juvia, you're too close to my heart to be taken away from me so I never let you in", I say to her as tears well up in her eyes.

"Gray", she continued. 

I then whispered something into her ear as her body froze and the tears stopped flowing. 

"Gotcha", says Neptune as he stabbed me across the chest. 

I fall to the floor with my eyes dead set on Juvia.

"Juvia", I say to her as my splattered blood froze.

"Gray.... sama", said Juvia as the rain stopped. 

....

"Finish him Juvia", said Neptune.

"Gray sama", she whispered.

"Juvia, why are you in a daze!", yelled Neptune.

"Gray sama, Gray sama, Gray sama GRAY SAMA!!!!!", yelled Juvia as the rain came down heavier.
