The Cursed Island
When I finally got back to Fairy Tail after my S-Class quest I discovered that Natsu, Happy and Lucy stole an S-Class quest of their own and went to complete it. Or at least try. I was told that Gray went after them, but that was yesterday. He should have been back with them last night.
I don't doubt that Gray if fine, he can definitely take care of himself. I trained him for most of his life in Ice Dragon Slayer magic and I am confident in my effectiveness.
I haven't met Lucy yet, but I can't imagine a new person to the guild would cause too much trouble. From what Macao and Wakaba are telling me, Lucy is a Celestial Spirit Mage with only a few keys. She is very stupid for agreeing to go with Natsu being as inexperienced as she is.
Now Natsu is powerful, he really is, but he is pretty oblivious to nearly everything. His memory is also terrible… He wouldn't come back with Gray without a fight. That is a is no way Gray could handle him and Happy on his own. He may need help.
This is my chance to go along with Erza to retrieve them. She looks mad… There is no way Gray will escape the punishment that the other three will face. He is going to need me to save him even if it means he will have to face a punishment from me.
Moondrip
Erza agreed to let me come with her even though she knew I would try to protect them from her. I do however believe that they need to be punished. I made sure that Erza understood I am in charge of Gray's punishment. Going on an S-Class quest when you are not infact S-Class is both dangerous and stupid. I'm going to punish him for scaring me.
I found him when he was nine and I was fifteen. I was on my way back from an S-Class quest when I found him lost and alone. He was looking for powerful mages in the west, so I took him back to Fairy Tail with me, introduced him to Gramps and the rest of the guild. When he decided to stay I adopted him as my brother. Right now he is all I have for family. Well I have the rest of Fairy Tail for my family too, but I'm closest with Gray, obviously.
"Erza was it necessary to take over a pirate ship?" I asked. Gosh, this motion sickness will be the death of me.
"Yes, it is absolutely necessary. We have to get to Galuna Island as soon as possible." She replied.
"I suppose, but you didn't have to demand and threaten them to bring you. We could have just rented our own ship." I said. Looking around at the pirates I added, "They are terrified of you."
"They do seem a bit skeemish… But what matters is that they get us there. If they are afraid of us then that is their own personal issue."
I didn't correct her when she included me in being who the pirates were afraid of, because if I think about it they probably were afraid of me… I mean I did storm the ship with Erza… And it's not like I've spoken to them to defuse the tension. I've just been standing at a distance with my arms crossed over my chest and this emotionless look on my face. Add that with how I am showing absolutely no fear towards Erza… That shows I'm either at the same power level as her or stronger.
Damn it, they think I'm scary.
Natsu vs Yuka the wave user
Nothing of significance to post on our travels thus far.
Just Do Whatever!
Erza and I found Lucy on the beach. It looks like she just defeated a pink haired woman who had a giant pile of rocks arranged like some kind of beast. All of a sudden Happy came flying up. "Hey Lucy are you-" He cut himself off and tried to hightail it out of there at the sight of Erza. Too bad Erza caught his tail, poor Happy.
"Erza you're frightening him." I said. "Here, I'll hold him." She gave Happy to me and he calmed down a bit, but was still shaking slightly.
Happy and Lucy tried to beg for their lives. I don't really think Erza was listening to them… Not a single word. She picked up Lucy and threw her over her shoulder to make sure she didn't escape. Together we went to the nearby village. Erza took up residency in one of the larger tents. I followed after her still holding Happy because I'm sure Natsu and Gray would find us eventually, so now we wait.
Once Gray came around I was relieved to see that he was unharmed for the most part. Sleep does wonders to the body. He managed to heal quite a bit from the wound on his abdomen, which looked like it caused some damage.
"Erza?! Why are they tied up?" He asked.
"Honestly I don't know. I told her it was unnecessary." I said while petting Happy.
"Lucy filled me in. Where is Natsu?" Erza questioned.
"We don't know. Last we saw he was fighting the Cold Emperor's Lackeyes." Replied Lucy.
"We must apprehend him and return to Fairy Tail." Said Erza.
"How can you be so heartless?" Asked Gray. "These people need our help! I refuse to leave. We can help them."
Erza withdrew her sword and pointed it at Gray's neck. "You are coming back to Fairy Tail. You have no choice." She said with a menacing glare.
Gray grabbed the blade with his hand and said, "It's the right thing to do. We are here now. They need our help. Whether you like it or not I'm helping them. I'm going to see this through." before pushing her blade aside and walking out of the tent.
"Erza he's right, we must help. You can go back with those two if you wish, but I'm going to stay too. They could use some S-Class help." I said. I ran out of the tent to catch up with Gray. He had already made it to the edge of the encampment. "Gray!" I shouted. He turn around and waited for me to catch up. Once I did I threw myself into his arms for a hug, for which he caught me. "I'm so proud of you." I told him.
"Thanks Elrora. It just didn't feel right abandoning these people."
"You're right. That's why I'm staying to help you." I said while letting go of him. We continued walking. "So where are we going? Also who is this Cold Emperor and what is he doing on an island like Galuna?" I questioned.
"We are going to the Temple of the Moon in the forest where the Cold Emperor, Lyon, is trying to melt the ice encasing Deliora with moon drip." He explained.
"Lyon as in the Lyon you studied under Ur with?"
"Yes, he thinks he can defeat Deliora on his own and finally surpass Ur."
"Idiot." I said. There is no way he will be able to defeat Deliora on his own. Deliora is a demon from the books of Zeref, if anyone was going to defeat Deliora it would be a team effort.
"Hey wait! We're coming with you!" Shouted Lucy. She was running up to us with Erza while Happy was flying after them.
"I suppose we could help." Said Erza. "But you will still be punished."
I sighed. She should cut them some slack. The idiots only wanted some adventure.
"There is something I have to tell Lyon, Ur told me not to tell him, but right now he needs to hear it. Ur may not be with us, but she is still alive." Said Gray.
Eternal Magic
"The truth is Ur is still alive. Ur and Lyon found me, they pulled me from the rubble." Gray started his story. "I went with them and Ur taught me Ice Make magic. Once I found out where Deliora was I went after it on my own, I was stupid. Ur sacrificed herself to save me, but she is not dead. She made me promise not to tell especially Lyon." I know most of this, he told me when he was younger, it was the first anniversary of Ur's death.
"Hey look, the temple is crooked." Pointed out Lucy.
"It was probably Natsu. It would be pretty smart of him if he did it on purpose." Said Gray.
"You never really know with him…" I added.
Suddenly we were being ambushed by people wearing robes and their faces were covered.
"I'll handle these people. The rest of you should continue to the temple." Declared Erza while requipping.
"Are you sure Erza?" Questioned Lucy. "I'll help."
"Me too!" Exclaimed Happy.
"Gray, Elrora go!" Erza shouted to us. I saluted her and took off running with Gray.
We busted into the room that was iced over to break up the fight between Natsu and Lyon.
"This fight is between you and me Lyon." Stated Gray.
I was shocked into silence when Gray took the stance of iced shell. My heart started to pound when I realized he was willing to give his life to stop Lyon. He wanted to right what he thought he wronged. It was no bluff. He was too composed for it to be a bluff. He was going to kill himself. My little brother is suicidal…
