"Ice impact!" Gray yelled, sending a drill like object towards the girl that stopped him. She broke a small smile and held up her hand, dissolving Gray's ice.
"I can tell that you haven't used this in a while." She slyly said, "That makes me the most experienced user here. Hell hound."
Wild dogs made from ice appeared and ran towards Gray without wasting a second. He dodged two of them, sending them charging off the mountain.
"Looks like your hounds didn't work." Gray said.
A third dog appeared out of nowhere and bit Gray's leg, and disappeared right after. Gray clenched his teeth in pain, but stayed upright, not wanting to give his opponent an advantage.
"You might be wondering who I am." The girl said, "All you need to know right now is that my nickname is Ice Queen."
She used her Ice Make to replace her physical form with an ice statue. A wall of ice formed a reasonably sized arena ground. Another ice statue appeared behind Gray and the Ice Queen formed from it and hit Gray with another attack.
"How are you this skilled?" Gray asked her, while getting up.
"I remember it like it was yesterday." She told Gray, stopping the fight, "I was in that village and saw what happened to that monster."
"What monster?" Gray asked.
"I'm surprised you don't know what I'm talking about." She told Gray, "Even though you were there."
Gray's face went from confused to surprised as he slowly figured out what she was talking about.
"It was destroying everything when one woman," She reminded Gray, "Decided to lock it in an Ice Tomb, killing herself in the process. It was after that event that I got really interested in Ice Make magic, so I decided to go to a magic library and look for Ice Make spell guides. I taught myself everything from there, and even invented Ice Make Clone and Ice Make teleport, two moves that I can use without saying the words."
"You didn't know Ur," Gray said, "The sacrifices she made in her life!"
"Listen, Pretty boy," The Ice Queen said, "I didn't say that I did. All I'm saying is that I taught myself Ice Make magic after that happened, and a couple years later I was approached by Tartaros about joining the guild. I declined, stating that I still didn't know what I wanted to do with my life, and walked away. That was when I got into a pinch a couple days later, and My current Master helped me."
"Why." Gray said, "Why are you still with your Master?!"
"Because she was the only one who saw something great in me." The Ice Queen said, "I was in her debt, and I didn't realize that I had made a mistake when I joined. I then made a new goal, to meet the students of Ur, and gather some more knowledge about Ice Make. I know it seems that I'm skilled enough to teach it, but I still have a long way to go, it took me this long to finally meet you."
"Why couldn't you have just come to Fairy Tail?" Gray asked, "Get it all over with?"
"Because I was focused on getting better." She told Gray, "And I was naive enough to think that you didn't have to learn new things in the magic to get better at it. I just wanted to fight you so that we could talk. This Ice blocks out all broadcast signals, I made this way myself, I just had to make it seem like I fought you."
She dropped to her knees and looked up at Gray.
"I don't get it." Gray said, "All of that, just to talk?"
"I know, it's not a good idea." She said, "But I know Ur was a great person, and Teacher. I will surrender to you, if you promise to teach me what Ur taught you."
"What about your guild master?" Gray asked.
"She's already defeated," The Ice Queen told Gray, "Nobody other than Zeref could control the Angel of Darkness, and it takes power greater than that of Zeref to defeat it."
"How did they defeat it before?" Gray asked.
"By usuing another Dark magic item," The Ice Queen said, "An item called Requiem Infinitum."
"Where is it?" Gray asked.
"I have it." The Ice Queen said, "It's a spell that's kills the user immediately after usage."
"You can't use it!" Gray said, "I will not let someone like you die!"
"Why do you want to keep me alive?" She asked him.
"What's your name?" Gray asked.
"I-I don't understand." She replied.
"Your name!" Gray repeated himself, "What is it?"
"Riley Zen!" Riley responded quickly, "I was just a poor girl who worked when ever she could! I was nobody special! I swear on it!"
"Riley, eh?" Gray smiled and closed his eyes, "Ur talked about you a lot."
"She did?!" Riley sounded surprised.
"She said you were the best helper she ever had." Gray said, looking at Riley, "She was always excited when you helped her with cleaning, and rewarded you with food for your family."
The Ice wall disintegrated and Gray stood up.
"Sure, I'll teach you." Gray said, "You are Ur's favorite helper of course!"
Loud thumps rung out in Auron's subconscious as Both of them looked around.
"What's happening?" Auron asked.
"Oh no..." The girl said, trembling, "I'm sorry Auron, I tried, but I can't keep him away for any longer."
"Who's him?" Auron asked.
A figure started walking towards Auron and the girl at a steady pace.
"You know better than to keep me locked up, Girl." The man said, "First thing I'm gonna do is kill you, then I can really have all control over the weaklings body."
The man was now visible as a heavily tattooed man with a spiky haircut.
"Who are you!?" Auron asked the man.
"Why, I'm the Angel of Darkness you Dumbass!" The Angel of Darkness said, "Did they not teach you that in Magic for Dweebs?"
"Nightmare Dragon," Auron yelled, "Roar!"
Auron let out his roar towards the Angel of Darkness, and there were sogns that it hit, but then all of the wounds healed and cains attached to Auron from a wall.
"Stop it!" The girl said, running towards The Angel of Darkness.
"You're not part of this!" He said, then knocked her away with a spell, "Now, any last words?"
Auron broke free of the cains and charged towards the Angel. He unleashed an attack that dissolved and The Angel kicked Auron backwards.
"Fool," He told Auron, "Slow and steady wins the race."
"At least I have my friends backing me up on the outside!" Auron told the Angel.
"I can use your memories against you," The Angel told Auron, "I can torment you for the rest of time if I please, but I'm not going to do that, as I need you dead. I'll just use them to kill you instead!"
"Please Everyone," Auron thought to himself, "Deafeat them."
