- Next day -
Each team went to different places. The teams started investigation as soon as they arrived. They met with the victims, asked the people around. All of them had the same result. They couldn't gather much information of this dark guild.
"To not be able to get info on them, they probably hid their identity very well." Erza was giving her opinion at the meeting with the Master.
"How about the victims?"
"They are fine. But they all have something in common. They showed signs of their magic being drained" Erza answered the Master's question.
"Hmm, Erza stay there for a couple of days. There is a chance that they could attack again. I'm informing the other as well"
"Yes, Master"

- Before 5 days -
Gray has searched for dark guilds that could do his request. He would follow that journal. If it's not for the incident, he would go and do it by himself.
There was one, a not really known dark guild. They have done a few things but they were not much as some other big dark guild they have faced before. But, still they could do his request or at least that's what he felt.
He went to their hideout. He saw some of their members, ready to initiate their attack at him. They knew his identity. Of course, who would not know a Fairy Tail right now? They are the most famous guild in Fiore.
"I'm not here to fight you guys, I have a request." He raised his both hands.
"Why would a fairy member request something from us? It's probably a trap."
He is right. Who would come and ask a dark guild? They do fight them all the time. Gray knew that it won't be easy to convince them. And it will be bad for him if this many members attacked him.
"Wait" It came out from someone who was getting closer to Gray.
"But, Master! This person…"
"I know who he is. I'm interested in his request." Their master formed a malicious smile.
"Welcome to our guild, Sorry if my friends caused you trouble."
"Follow me so we can discuss more on your request."
Gray was behind him. He bit his lips, this is wrong. People will be injured because of his request. He can return now. He can.
No! In the back of his mind, He feels that this is something he must do. Even if it's wrong.
They reached a big wooden door. It seems it's their Master room. In there were probably his strongest members. He can sense their magic.
"So, what is your request Mr. Ice mage?" he stepped forward, his hands behind his back.
"I want you to gather magic for me." Gray let out a serious expression as he talked in a serious tone.
"Magic?" He turned to face Gray. He didn't expect this kind of request from him.
"Yes. And you better not ask me why."
"Haha. I won't, I actually have another question. Why not gather it by yourself? You are capable of doing this alone."
"I have other business to do."
"I see, and what would you offer us?"
"This" Gray showed him a magical item. A rare one. That would boost up your magic power x2 times.
It was given to him by an old man in a mission before Dan accident. He told him that he wanted to give it to the right people. Sorry Gramps. I'm given it to a bad people.
The Master eyes went wide and he came closer to Gray. This item was something really really valuable in the black market. He could use it to boost his own power or even sell it to get fortune! Why would he throw it away?
"Do you know what this item does?"
"Yes."
"And still you will give it to us?"
"If you accepted my request."
"HAHAHAHA, do you think I'll refuse after you showing me this. Yes, we will certainly do your request."
"I'll give five days to do it. You better not disappoint me." Gray's expression was deadly.
"We won't."

It's the fateful day. Gray held the bottle in his hand. He had hurt people because of it. But today, Gray will see if he is insane for believing a dream or was the journal a real thing.
He went to the village early in the morning. He was outside, sitting at a rock.
He was never fond of waiting but that was all he could do. He waited for couple of hours. He was getting out of patient.
No one showed.
He was stupid, really stupid for believing a dream. He wanted someone to punch him for believing such a thing.
Gray stood; He looked at the bottle. He bit his lips, Gray made a major mistake. He doesn't deserve to be a Fairy member. Fairy Tail would never hurt innocent people yet, he did it.
He was about to throw the battle when he suddenly felt something. A very strong magic. It was familiar to him.
He turned at the magic direction when he saw him.
.
.
Noah.
So he is Noah. He is going to kill everyone.
Gray couldn't say anything. He just kept staring at him. Why is he surprised? He knew that Noah is a dangerous person from the moment he met him at the cave. That's why he didn't Erza or Master about him. He was afraid of something.
"Never thought I would see you here." Noah talked when their eyes met.
"W-why are you here?"
Noah didn't answer. He kept looking with his emotionless face at Gray.
"Answer me!" Gray didn't like Noah silence or his look.
"I need magic"
Gray was stunned by his answer. He immediately looked at the bottle in his hand. Magic.
He looked again and noticed that Noah seems tired.
"Are going to attack this village?"
"Attack? No, I'm simply going to take magic only."
"It's no different. You are going take their magic and there is a big chance that they are going to die because of it!" Gray was yelling in anger.
"If they died, that's because they are weak"
Gray can't handle Noah bullshit anymore. He is going to attack him. It was his chance, while he was tired.
"Ice-Make: ..." He didn't finish his line when Noah raise his hand and said "Cancel"
"Hammer"
Nothing happened. Gray put his hands in front of him. He couldn't feel his magic at all.
"My magic… is gone!"
He couldn't believe what happened to him.
"Temporary gone." Noah corrected him.
"H-How?" Gray was in shock. He was sweating and breathing heavily.
Obviously, it was his magic.
Noah moving broke him from his shock. He remembered the journal and the magic he gathered. He needed to act fast or the village will be doomed.
"W-wait. Here, take this and leave the village alone" he threw the bottle to Noah.
Noah grabbed the bottle and looked at it. He didn't say anything.
He took the bottle and drunk it. He felt a surge of magic inside him. Noah threw the bottle and continued moving.
"You are planning something. But, whatever you plans, it won't stop me."
He came closer to Gray and whispered "Nice try, but it's not enough."
Gray eyes went wide. He clenched his hands. He didn't hesitate to attack him with his bare hand.
"Don't move!" chains come from nowhere and got hold of Gray at the ground.
Gray was trying his best to get free from the chains.
"No, you can't. STOP!" He was yelling when he saw Noah going forward.
Why?
The journal wrote that this will stop him. Why? Why is this happening?
Gray was crying on the ground. After what he did, People would still die.
.
.
After 30 minutes. The chains disappeared.
Gray stood, and ran straight to village. He will help who is still alive.
When he entered, all the villagers were on the ground. Children, older people, men and woman. He didn't let anyone.
He ran to nearest person. He held him and noticed that he is still breathing. He is alive but unconscious.
He ran to the next person and the next.
All of them were alive.
A/N:
