Guards at the main gate were chatting, there was nothing going on in Olympus, the safest city in the known world.

"Another lazy day, huh?", one of them asked
"Yep. There is nothing to do, no one is stupid enough to attack our city." other one replied.
"You are damn right!", and then a certain woman entered the big room where forty guards were relaxing, talking and playing cards. She had long black hair and scars all across her face, on her sight they all stood up, straightened and saluted her.
"What is it captain?", the closest one to her asked.
"Open the gate." they looked at her as if she was mad.
"But why captain?" he asked once again.
"I said open the gate" she stated more firmly this time
"I refuse if there is no argumenta-..." and just like that he was ripped to shreds.

Woman has started to slaughter every single man in that room, when she was done she returned to her original appearances. She had long white hair and beautiful face, she was perfect if not for the blood stains all across her body, Mirajane Strauss.

"You should have listened to me.", she said when she destroyed the safety mechanism of the main gate, and just like that the mighty, impenetrable Walls of Olympus were open to everyone and everything who wished to come in.

It was a rainy night.

Ground was muddy from all the water. The council members were gathered under the roof, they needed to witness and confirm the execution of Gray Fullbuster with their own eyes. On their side was also Lyon with his assistant Chelia Blendy. On the other side of the courtyard were standing Gray's friends from left Erza, Wendy, Natsu and Lucy. They were all sad, waiting for the guards to bring their friend from his cell.

There was a loud crack and the gate opened, they could see two Divine Guardians walking in front but there was still no sign of Gray. When the guards have moved aside they all saw him and their eyes became wide.

The Icesmith was standing on his own, handcuffed, but he hasn't got regular limbs. They were made from something that looked like ice. It was merging with his body. His new hands and legs didn't even have human shape anymore.
His hands were reminding those of human, but he had claw-like fingers and his elbows have had an ice spikes coming out from them.
His legs weren't ordinary either. His feet were resembling more those of a beast than human, with their claws. There were also long, ice spikes coming out from his knees.
He looked like a true demon's offspring. The council stood there unaffected, but Lyon was looking at him with disgust and Chelia was hiding behind her superior, she was scared of Gray's new appearances.

The only one laughing quietly was Natsu, he knew that Gray would somehow accomplish a feat like that, but Erza and Lucy just had sad eyes and Wendy was just quietly sobbing.

Behind Gray was walking Death herself. He was slowly walking to the scaffold, on which they were going to hang him.
Not a glorious death, he thought. Surprisingly near the scaffold wasn't Cythia, the priestess of Themis, but the goddess Nemesis.

"I need to do it myself. You must be dead by any means necessary, Cursed Icesmith", she said to him emotionless, and so she put the rope around his neck.
"Any last words?" she asked ironically. Gray turned his face to Juvia, which was standing behind him, then he smiled and said just one little thing
"Thank you." and Juvia lost it. She got closer to him, grabbed him by his shirt and kissed him, his eyes wide open, he could feel her ice cold lips on his own, when she broken the kiss she was still blushing violently but she said
"Th-that's a kiss from Death, it should ease your pain in your last moments, Gray-sama...", tears and rain were mixing on her cheeks.
"You are a disgrace to the gods" Nemesis said, pulling Juvia away from him.
"And now I present you the Cursed Icesmith, he will be punished for his crimes towards the city", Nemesis continued, a wicked smile on her face.

But then when she was about to pull the lever a large explosion has taken place. It was so massive that the earth has shaken. A military courier ran to the courtyard, his face and outfit were covered in blood.
"There was a traitor in our ranks, the city is under attack, Martyrs are in the city! Martyrs are in the city!" he was yelling.

All the people gathered on the courtyard rushed to the exit, while Divine Guardians were taking Gray off the scaffold. Then their saw it, the city outer district was in flames.

"Put Gray back in his cell. Natsu, Laxus, Erza, Lyon you are going with me!", Makarov commanded.
"But he must be killed, now!" Nemesis yelled.
"The city is more important than him, don't you think?" Archont replied, Nemesis said nothing and she just vanished.
"Lucy. Take care of Wendy and Chelia, just go with Divine Guardians and hide somewhere." Archont commanded.
"Gramps I can help, just release me, I can be useful!" Gray yelled while he was dragged by the Divines.
"No. Gray, you are an enemy now, I'm… I'm sorry." and they went to the outer district.

Gray was sitting locked up in his cell, he was getting out of his mind.

"Fuck! I should go there and help them defeat the enemy." he punched the wall.
"Please calm down Gray-sama, there is nothing you can do in your current state." Juvia was trying to calm him down.
"Shut up! There must be something that I can do!" he yelled at her.
"Gray-sama you are tired and stressed please try to calm down a bit." she was getting worried.
"No, no, no, no, you don't understand I must do something." he started to emanate cold. Juvia was getting concerned about Gray , he wasn't looking or even acting as himself.
"Ummm... Juvia is getting really scared, soooo can Gray-sama stop this crazy thing?" she attempted to grab his hand but Gray was gone. His eyes were full with some kind of demonic madness.
"Yes, yes the ice, ice was always an answer" he mumbled.
"Gray-sama?" Juvia asked, she was really scared.

"Ice make: Gungnir" and just like that he created a colossal ice spear that destroyed the cell's bars and the wall in front of them, but it was different from his earlier ice magic. He didn't need to take a pose anymore. Ice was just forming in his new cursed ice-demon hands. He went loose, like a mad man looking for any opponent from Martyrs Army that he could kill for the sake of the city.
Juvia panicked, she needed to find someone that could bring him back to his old self, but unfortunately she has known only one person and she hated that idea. But there was no other choice. She has phased through few rooms and found her.

Lucy was just standing there trying to calm down Chelia and Wendy, little Oracle was sobbing, she hated the violence and wars. Suddenly someone grabbed her.

"Juvia needs your help priestess." , Juvia said, there was concern in her eyes.
"Oooh you don't tell.", Lucy replied.
"It's about Gray-sama, he... he went berserk" , tears started to form in her eyes.
"So what are we doing here?! Let's move! Girls you just stay in here and you will be safe." she said to the two young maidens, and then they went to search Gray.

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck , Gajeel was cursing while he was lying on the ground, coughing up some of his blood, everything went smooth to that moment, the main gate was opened by Elfman's sister and they just slaughtered the citizens as well as the Olympus Defensive Garrison. But this man was a monster. He would never believe that someone like him could exist. In front of Gajeel stood a young well build man with a lightning like scar on his right eye.

"You give up, punk?" he asked Gajeel.
"Tch, there is no way I could give up to someone from Olympus." Iron Dragon Slayer replied bluntly.
"That's a shame, you will feel the wrath of the Thunder God." , Laxus said emotionless. Gajeel stoop up and tried to attack his opponent one more time with his Iron Dragon's Sword but he was just too fast.
"You can outrun the lightning. Lightning Dragon's Heavenward Halberd ", King hit him once again.

"Shit, I never thought that I will be forced to use it so early on, but I guess I have no choice.", Gajeel said, Laxus got suspicious and took defensive stance.
Gajeel pulled a black dagger from a pocket in his pants and stuck it right in the center of his chest.

"The hell are you doing? Are you nuts? You won't defeat me by killing yourself, you damn Martyr." Laxus was confused.
"Gihi, just watch.", and the dagger was pulled inside Gajeel's body but there was no wound nor bleeding.
"What did you do?" King asked curiously.
"I just used a little present that Hades gave me, now we will see if you can outrun the shadows" and he vanished into the shadows, Laxus was scanning the whole place but he couldn't spot him.

"You are just hiding like a coward!" he yelled.
"Iron Shadow Dragon's Club" , Gajeel hit Laxus in the back, but when the God of Thunder turned around there was no one.
"Iron Shadow Dragon's Fist" again King of Olympus was hit.
"You have enough?" , Gajeel asked, certainty was in his voice.
"Tsk. Didn't I tell you? You can't beat the lightning." Laxus said as he was straightening up.
"Lightning Dragon's Slayer Secret Technique: Skywrath." and the lightning were just striking everything. There was nowhere that you could hide not even in the shadows, and so Gajeel got hit but he managed to use his Iron Shadow Dragon's Roar on Laxus and knocked him unconscious.

Bloodseeker was on the run. He needed to find some place safe, where he could regenerate or lay low for a while.

This fucking city is full of fucking monsters. A bookstore? Hmmm... nobody will be even searching in a place like this, this may be my chance, I will hide there and wait for the reinforcements to come, he thought as he was opening the bookstore door.

Natsu was fighting with Martyrs Army. They were indeed relentless as the legends were saying, but he was able to fight with them and beat them. At that time he had something like fifteen enemies on his counter, but he was getting tired. Even if he was a dragon's offspring there was a limit to his powers. The Martyrs just kept coming and coming like there was no end of them, suddenly the situation got even worse, he could spot some minor demons between them.

Damn this whole thing is getting nasty,he thought. Something has grabbed him by his tail, and started to pull, when he looked back he saw a demon trying to lift him up and smash on the ground, but Natsu was too agile for a thing like this to happen. He simply outmaneuvered the demon and crushed its head with Fire Dragon's Iron Fist. But there was more and more of Hades' troops, suddenly he heard a familiar sound, sound of the moving ice. When he looked around he saw some of the Lyon's creations. Tigers and dragons were blowing up on the touch, instantly freezing Martyrs in blocks of ice. After all he was a Main Strategist for reasons and this looked like one of them.

Natsu was moving forward, when he saw him. General of Hades Army, Elfman Strauss, but it was already too late for him to react. Giant, lizard like hand grabbed him by his neck and started to suffocate him. Natsu was tired from previous encounters, so he managed to kick Elfman in his jaw before he nearly fainted. It was no use, general was just too strong for exhausted Natsu. Surprisingly his grip has loosened a bit and Elfman just dropped his opponent on the ground.

"I've no intentions of killing you, young Dragneel, so please just lie here and do not resist" was all he said. There was no strength left in Natsu's body and he just lied there, but he was watching carefully the direction in which Elfman was heading to.

Juvia, with Lucy on her arms, was flying above the city. They were searching for Gray, in his state he was a danger for the entire city and for himself as well. They found a big, ice battlefield, a certain man was fighting there. They hid behind an old building and watched it from the distance.

Gray was on a rampage, he was destroying everything, the bodies of enemies as well as allies were just flying in the air.

"Ice make: Freeze Lancer ", two more Martyrs dropped dead.
"Ice make: Arrows", five more good men just died.
"Ice make: Gungnir", whole building just collapsed, another ten men were dead,.
"Hahahahahahaha! More! Give me more of them!", Gray was yelling, he was berserk.

Juvia and Lucy were terrified, they didn't know what to do, it was just too dangerous to come close to him but they needed to try. When they were in half way to him Juvia yelled
"Gray-sama please stop this madness, it's not you!" he turned back to them his eyes were empty, like he wasn't in his body anymore.
"Gray please contain yourself, you are hurting our men, for the god's sake, stop this." Lucy said but still there was no reaction from him, he just stood in the middle of something that looked like some ice arena, his artificial limbs were making some kind of mist around him.
"L-Lucy? Wha-what have I done? Last thing I remember is that I was in prison and then I have some kind of black hole in my mind." he sounded scared a little, but they were getting closer to him. If they just could get a little closer.

Suddenly on the back of six floor building a gigantic ice dragon appeared and there was no one else than Lyon riding it. He just swooped down on Gray, trapping him in ice.

"What's wrong with you Lyon? You could have kill us!", Lucy yelled at him.
"He's mine! There is no way he's getting away from what he had done!"
"Lyon! He was out of his mind! This must have been some kind of side effect of those new artificial limbs that he has, or the demon blood running through his veins."
"No! I'm going to finish him once and for all." but then the ice that Lyon made broke and Gray was free. He was back to his demon self.

"I've always wanted to do that, let us fight to the death!" and he rushed at the Lyon, with his claw like hand, his eyes were full of rage.

What have you become, Gray-sama?, tears were forming in Juvia's eyes, but she was dragged by Lucy to somewhere safe, where they couldn't get hit by the spells of two ice mages.

"So you have finally lost your mind, Gray? No wonder, you were always kind of mad." Lyon was mocking his opponent, he has sent some of his ice beasts to stop Gray's charge but they were useless, Gray formed Cold Excalibur, a gigantic two-handed ice sword and was just slicing through Lyon's army.

"You're going to die here, you pathetic excuse of an ice mage, you heard me Lyon?!" Gray changed to his Ice Bringers. They were two, one-handed, ice swords and when he was about to score a direct hit on his opponent Lyon dodged it. White haired mage countered him with just one of his Ice Wolf fists, while he was making a gigantic ice tiger with another. The tiger jumped on Gray and attacked him savagely but he kept dodging his attacks. Unfortunately Gray slipped and the tiger's jaws got him. Monster has swallowed him.

"NO! Gray-sama!" Juvia yelled, tears were running down her cheeks.
"Shhhh be quiet, it's not over yet." Lucy said, trying to calm her down.

The tiger let out a horrible roar as if something was tearing him apart from the inside. Suddenly it stopped moving and it stood lifeless. Seconds later his right side just exploded. Inside the tiger was standing Gray with his Ice Cannon.
"No way! You should be dead, why won't you just die, Fullbuster?!" Lyon yelled. Gray eyes were full of excitement, not the good one, more like he was possessed by some blood lusting demon. Before Lyon could cast another spell Gray was in front of him.

"How the he-..." Icesmith has punched the Main Strategist in his stomach, Lyon fell on the ground.
"You are going to die, little mister strategist. I always hated you, you know?" and he put the end of his Ice Cannon in front of Lyon's head, smiling like a mad man. Lyon closed his eyes.
"Say hello to Ur in hell!", Gray yelled, but there was no big boom or anything, when Lyon opened his eyes he saw a stone coffin in front of him, there was only one man able to do such a thing.

Jura, the Hermit, one of the ten wizard saints from Arcadia was standing on the roof of the last building that has remained in the area.

"Looks like things got pretty nasty here." he said, while Lyon was getting up.
"Yeah, thanks for help. Now we can finish him off."
"No, we can't. He must remain sealed in this stone or else he could go on a rampage again.", Jura said.
"Will Gray-sama will be alright?" Juvia and Lucy came out from hiding.
"Hello Death goddess, and yes he will be ok for now... but we will discuss his fate in the incoming future" Jura returned his gaze to Lyon.
"Now, Main Strategist. Come with me, we must defend what is left of your city. You ladies stay here and make sure that he would not break free from this stone prison." and they left, leaving two maidens alone in the frozen war zone.
"Gray-sama are you there?" but there was only silence answering her.
"He won't answer you" Lucy said with sad eyes.
"Why? How you can know?" Juvia asked her with anger.
"Look around you if he remembers even a small amount of what he has done, he won't speak."
"B-but it wasn't Gray-sama fault, he just tried to protect the city. It's not his fault that he's demon blood." Juvia was trying to justify his actions.
"But he wanted those artificial limbs, and that's probably why he was going crazy bananas. He couldn't control his power, but yet he used it. ", Lucy just sat down near the stone coffin.

Gray was sitting inside the coffin his head was down, tears running down his cheeks.

I'm a monster, I'm a fucking monster I nearly killed Lyon, a person that is my only family, my brother, not to mention all of our soldiers I don't deserve to be alive nor to be dead... , he thought in the darkness.

Erza was easily pushing back the combined forces of the demons and Martyrs in her Heaven's Wheel Armor, she was the high priestess of Ares and Athena after all. Suddenly the attacks have stopped and all her opponents knelt, making room for a certain man to walk on the battlefield. He was wearing a black hood, so she couldn't really see any of his appearances. Titania took her defensive stance when he started to walk towards her. When he was no more than five meters away from her he took off the hood revealing his blue hair and a tattoo on the right side of his face. Erza has instantly dropped her swords.

"Je-Jellal is that you?" she was shaking , her eyes were wide from the shock.
"Yes it's me, long time no see, Scarlet." he said, a warm smile was present on his face.
"I thought you were dead, where have you been all this time?" she let her guard down and rushed to hug him.

It was her biggest mistake, at the very moment when she opened her arms Jellal stabbed her with a dagger. Blood started coming out from her the stomach.
"Jellal is dead young priestess, only Hades remained.", he said looking in the distance. Erza dropped to her knees, trying to stop the bleeding.
"W-Why did you this to me Jellal, don't you remember me?" she asked him, unable to comprehend what just happened.
"I said that your pathetic friend is dead, woman. There is nothing left of him in this body." he kicked Erza in the face. She was lying like that for the rest of the time.
"Pick her up and bring back to my castle. We can use this priestess later." a devilish grin appeared on his face. Erza's body was dragged back to the main city gate, by some minor demons. Shortly after that she lost her consciousness.

Hades started walking in the direction of the Heavenly Palace. It place was his primary target, after all.
