Natsu and Lucy stared at the sealed demon not exactly enjoying its presence even though it was sealed.

"You sure this is the demon your master sealed away?" Natsu asked.

"There's no doubt about it." Gray said.

"I wonder why it was transported all the way from the northern continent to Galuna Island?" Happy questioned.

Lucy crossed her arms, "Not sure, but I doubt it has anything to do with what's going on with people of the island."

"I wouldn't be surprised if it was. That thing may be incased in ice but it's still alive." Gray said.

"Sweet! Give me a go at it I ain't afraid of no stupid demon." Natsu grinned.

"I don't know Natsu. Maybe you shouldn't go breaking it." Lucy warned.

"A little fire outta do the trick." Natsu said.

Gray looked at the fire mage and punched him square in the face.

"Gray just punched Natsu!" Happy gasped.

"True, but that's normal." Lucy stated.

Natsu grabbed his cheek and glared at the ice mage, "What's the deal?! What'd you hit me for Gray?!" he stopped glaring when he saw the look on the ice mages face.

"I don't want you or your flames anywhere near it. If that ice melts and Deliora is revived there's no way we'd be able to stop it." Gray stated.

Natsu shot up at that, "Come on. Do you really think a huge chunk of ice would be that easy to melt?"

Gray looked at him then looked down, "…No."

Lucy put a hand on his shoulder, "You alright?"

"I'm the one that got hit for no good reason! Watch your temper man!" Natsu yelled.

"Please, your one to talk." Happy informed him.

"Many years ago my master Ur cast a spell called Iced Shell on this demon. Inclosing it in a form of ice that can't be melted. It's so strong that even the most powerful flame spells have no effect on it." Gray explained.

The others listened to his explanation.

"If they knew the ice couldn't be melted then why did they bring it here?" Gray questioned.

"Maybe they already knew using fire magic wouldn't work and decided to bring it here instead." Lucy said.

"But why would they do that?!" Gray yelled.

Lucy thought about what the three people here were saying earlier, "Maybe their using this moon drip to try and break the ice?"

"Moon drip?" Happy questioned.

She nodded, "Remember what those three from earlier were talking about? They were saying something about gathering the moons light. It's possible they might be using that to break the ice and wake it up. That's the only thing I can come up with."

Gray shook his head, "I just don't get it. Who would bring Deliora here and more importantly why?"

Natsu crossed his arms, "We need answers. Lets go find those guys."

"We might have to." Lucy agreed.

"No. We're gonna stay here and wait." Gray said.

"Wait for what?" Happy asked.

"For the moon to come out." He said.

"The moon?! But it's the middle of the afternoon! Forget that! If I have to hang out here all day I'll die of boredom!" Natsu said.

Lucy thought about it, "The moon and Deliora might be connected in some way. We'll wait here then."

"I'm not waiting! We've got work to do!" Natsu yelled.

But right after he said that he was knocked out sleep.

"Well that didn't take long now did it?" Lucy stated.

"Aye." Happy agreed.

Lucy looks down at him, "Must be nice. All he does is eat, fight, and sleep. Not a care in the world."

"Aye. That's Natsu for ya." Happy agreed.

Lucy looked over at Gray and saw he had that look on his face, the same look she would always have when she was remembering someone dear to her.

"Hey Lucy." Happy called out.

"Hm?"

"I'm kind of bored." He told her.

She smiled then scratched the back of his ears, "Same here, but I may have a solution to our boredom."

"Huh?" Happy questioned.

Lucy requiped a silver gate key, "Gate of the Harp, I open thee, Lyra!" a magic circle appeared and out came a woman with orange hair with a harp on her back.

Lyra waved frantically at the blonde, "Oh wow! I haven't seen you in forever Lucy!"

Lucy smiled at the energetic spirit, "Hey Lyra."

"Say, how come you never call me anymore? Its not fair I would love to help you out, but you ignore me meanie." She pouted.

Lucy chuckled, "Meanie huh? Tell me, who was the one that told me she was only available three days a month?"

"Uh! Are you sure about that?" Lyra asked.

Happy sweat-dropped, "Great another weirdo."

"So what would you like to hear me sing? Any requests?" Lyra asked.

Lucy shook her head, "Actually Lyra, I would like to sing this time. And I would like to sing that song if you don't mind."

Lyra smiled brightly at her, "Really?! It's been so long since I last heard you sing! I would love to play that song for you!"

Happy looked at the blonde, "You can sing Lucy?"

Lyra looked at the cat, "Are you kidding me?! Lucy's singing voice is so beautiful! We even sang a duet song together!"

Lucy chuckled, "Yeah we did, so Lyra are you ready?"

Lyra got her harp out, "I'm ready when you are."

The blonde smiled and closed her eyes signaling to Lyra to play the song.

Lyra played the song on her harp enveloping those around her into her melody; this woke Natsu up making him look over to his partner as she started singing:

Umareru koto ba

Kieyeku koto ba

Anata no naka ni Ikitsuzekuru koto ba

Natsu and Happy couldn't help but close their eyes with smiles on their faces. Unbeknownst to Lucy and her friends she changed into the Mark of the Moon form as she continued to sing.

Tachidomori sono toki

Yuuki he to kawaru

Saa

Arukidasou

Ana toki yori

Anata wo

Tsuyoku natteiru kara

Gray was over near the frozen demon remembering his time with his master Ur as he heard Lucy's singing voice. The first time she taught him his magic and how he pushed himself until he finally got it.

Mou

Mayonaiwaide

Ano toki wo kotoba wo

Shinjite

Gray felt tears come to his eyes and before he knew it he was crying drawing the attention of his teammates and making Lucy stop singing and turn back to normal.

"Gray? What's wrong?" Happy asked.

"Nothing. I'm fine." Gray said wiping the tears from his eyes.

"Are you sure? You seem upset?" Happy continued.

"Well just like me Lucy's singing voice can effect people in different ways." Lyra explained.

"Did Lucy's signing make you cry?" Happy asked.

"I…wasn't crying." He lied horribly.

Happy looked at Lucy, "Maybe you should sing something upbeat."

She looked at the cat, "That's more of Lyra's specialty not mine. I don't really know any upbeat songs, besides I only learned this song from Lyra."

Gray sighed, "I think we should skip the song. We need to stay quiet, we don't wanna be found out."

Natsu didn't say anything and instead looked at Gray.

Lucy was sleeping on her side while Happy was curled near her stomach and Natsu went back to sleep snoring. The cave then began to shake waking Lucy up, "What's going on?"

Natsu shot right up, "Is it nighttime yet?!"

A purple magic circle appeared above the frozen Deliora shinning a glowing purple light down at it.

"A beam of light…" Lucy stared.

"It's shining down from the ceiling!" Natsu said.

"But why is it purple? It must be moonlight." Gray questioned.

"What's going on? I'm getting scared Gray." Happy said.

They saw the purple light shine down on the frozen demon.

"It's shining down on Deliora!" Gray said.

"I don't think that's a coincidence." Natsu said.

Gray looked at them, "Lets go! We have to find out where the lights coming from!"

"Aye!" Happy said.

They ran off in another direction of the cave hoping to find some answers as to what's going on. Arriving at the top of where the light was coming from they saw it was a magic circle.

"Why would someone cast a magic circle inside this old temple?" Gray wondered.

"Lets find out!" Natsu said making all of them run off again. Running up the stairs they made it all the way to the top and outside of the building. They saw people dressed up in robes around in a circle chanting something.

They hid behind some stones.

"What are they doing?" Natsu whispered.

Lucy shushed him.

Looking up they saw it was the moon they were drawing the magic from.

"The moon…" Gray said.

Natsu looked at the robe people, "It looks like those robed freaks are chanting some spell to collect the moonlight."

"And shine it on Deliora, question is why?" Lucy wondered.

"It's a spell called the Moon Drip." Lyra said.

Lucy raised a brow, "Your still here?"

"I see. That's what their trying to do." Lyra mumbled.

"You know something about this Lyra?" Lucy asked.

Lyra nodded, "They're using the moon drip spell to melt the ice surrounding the demon underground, so they can resurrect it."

"What?!" Natsu whispered.

Lucy clicked her tongue, "So I was right. They are using the moon drip to try and free Deliora."

"They can't! The ice used in an iced shell can't be melted!" Gray protested.

"I hate to say it but that's not entirely true. While the iced shell spell is strong, it can be melted using moon drip. Focus moon energy can break any magical spell." Lyra explained.

Happy's eyes widened, "Oh no!"

Gray got pissed, "Idiots! They've never witnessed the wrath of Deliora!"

"I think what the islanders believe is a cure against them may actually be side effects of the moon drip. Concentrated moon energy can contaminate your body. I'm afraid those poor islanders have been exposed to way too much of it." Lyra explained further.

Natsu growled, "I'll make them pay!"

"Hold it," Lucy elbowed him in the face, "Someone's coming."

They saw someone wearing armor on his head and feet approach the people gathering the moon drip; he was tall from the looks of it and was smirking. Yuka, Sherry and Toby were with him.

"What a waste," Yuka complained, "I lost so much precious sleep for nothing."

Toby started falling asleep even though he was walking.

"We searched all day for the intruders but never found a trace of them." Yuka said.

"Maybe there wasn't any!" Toby yelled.

"I'm afraid I have some sad news Cold Emperor," Sherry said to the man next to her, "We thought we had intruders during the day, but it seems they got away somehow. I cannot speak of love in this situation."

"Intruders?" the cold emperor spoke.

"So that guys their leader." Natsu observed.

Lucy nodded, "Looks that way, and something tells me he's the one that wants Deliora to be revived more than anything."

"Has Deliora been awakened yet?" the Cold Emperor asked.

"It should be later tonight or tomorrow." Sherry told him.

"Which one girl!" Toby yelled at her.

"The time has almost come. If you see those intruders again kill them. I don't want anyone getting in my way." The Cold Emperor told them.

"They must've been villagers. Their the only other people on this island." Sherry said.

Gray's eyes widened when he heard the cold emperors voice, "That voice…it can't be…"

"Then destroy the village!" he commanded.

"Yes sir!" Sherry said.

"Understood." Yuka said.

Toby growled.

"What?!" Natsu whispered.

"So they would kill innocent people just to make sure no one stops them from trying to awaken Deliora? Makes me sick!" Lucy growled.

"Yeah, we gotta stop 'em." Natsu said.

The Cold Emperor smirked, "It's a shame there has to be bloodshed."

Gray was convinced now, "That voice…I didn't wanna believe it but it is…its…Lyon!"

They looked over to him.

"Lyon? Who's that?" Natsu asked.

Gray looked down, "He learned under Ur just like me. I can't believe he would do this to our master! This...disrespect!"

Lucy looked at him then to Lyon's little group, "Here's the plan. Natsu and me will handle the lackeys while you handle Lyon. Sound good?"

Gray looked at her, "What?"

"This is something the two of you need to settle on your own. And I hate to say it, but talking to him might not work in this kind of situation so you'll have to fight it out. Just make sure you don't get killed." Lucy said.

Gray opened and closed his mouth several times before he finally found the will to speak, "Right."

"What? But I wanted to fight that guy." Natsu complained.

Lucy whacked him on the head sending him down on the ground, "Didn't you hear me? This fight is between the two of them, so stay out of it," she leaned down and whispered something in his ear, "Only step in when you feel the need to okay?"

Natsu saw that knowing look in her eye and nodded, "Got it."

Lucy looked towards the cat, "Happy, you mind sticking with me for a little bit?"

Happy saluted to her, "I'm all yours."

She nodded, "Lyra, thanks for everything. You can head back now."

Lyra nodded seriously, "Good luck Lucy." She said disappearing.

Lucy put her hand down to the ground; "Ready?" she saw them all nod and took that cue to execute the plan, "Mark of the Earth." She whispered changing her appearance, "Gaia no Bainzu (Vines of Gaia)." Three vines sprouted from under Sherry, Yuka, and Toby grabbing and squeezing them a little.

"Wh-what is this?!" Yuka yelled unable to move.

"I can't break free!" Sherry yelled.

"These things are squeezing the life outta me!" Toby yelled.

If he didn't have the helmet on his head right now then Lyon's face would show surprise.

Three figures revealed themselves from behind their hiding place alerting their enemies to their presence.

"It's the intruders!" Yuka yelled still trying to get free from the vines.

"They're the ones who hurt Angelica!" Sherry growled.

"No one cares about your stupid pet rat Sherry!" Toby yelled.

Lucy was starting the get annoyed at the three, "You three will entertain us while these two have their own fight, children on the earth." Thrusting her hand out she made the vines throw the three away from the area and to god knows where on the island.

Changing back she gave Gray a look that he returned, patting Natsu on the shoulder the two of them, plus Happy sprinted off in search of Lyon's goons while Gray was left there with him.

Lyon chuckled, "So its you."

Gray glared, "Yeah it is. Just what the hell do you think your doing Lyon?!"

Lyon took the helmet off revealing his hair was spiky and white with black eyes, "What am I doing you ask? I'm reviving Deliora so that I can surpass Ur!"

"You mean to tell me you brought this monstrosity here just so you could try and beat it?! Have you lost your mind?!" Gray yelled.

"I'm not wrong for doing what needs to be done! I will revive Deliora and I will surpass Ur! I won't let you take that from me again!" Lyon yelled.

Gray got in an ice-make pose, "I won't let you disrespect my master like this!"

Lyon smirked also getting in an ice-make pose, "Come."

Meanwhile on a pirate ship closing in on the island the sailors on the ship were unconscious expect the captain who was steering the ship.

The captain looked behind him, "Uh, why do you wanna go to Galuna Island? Its scary!"

"Just shut up and steer!" a female voice ordered.

The man flinched and turned around steering the ship just like she asked. All of the sailor's started waking up.

"If you drop us off somewhere you can have the boat! Please I'm begging ya lady! I've heard that island is cursed and anyone who steps foot on it turns into a demon!" the captain explained.

"I will take that chance." The woman said.

"But! Why do you have to go there?" the captain asked.

The night sky revealed a woman with long red hair wearing armor, a blur skirt, and black boots, "When rules are broken the guilty must punished. And that is all I can tell you."

The captain sweat-dropped while the other crew members thought she looked cool.

Back on the island Lucy's eyes glowed purple for a split second alerting her that Natsu's comment from before they came to the island was about to happen sooner than they think.

"Looks like she'll be here soon." Lucy said to no one in particular.

Natsu and Happy looked at her, "You say something Lucy?" Natsu asked.

She shook her head, "No nothing. Lets split up."

"Aye!" Natsu went off somewhere else and Happy went with Lucy.

Hopefully Gray will be able to defeat Lyon and make sure Deliora isn't revived otherwise we'll be in trouble. Lucy thought.
