End Theme
At Lucy and Hurricane Dragon Wizard's Location…
"A forced gate closure? So you are a Fairy Tail wizard." Sherry says to Lucy who along with Wizard stand ready to continue their fight against her.
"The battle starts now!" Lucy says as she holds her whip at the ready.
"But don't forget that I can control any of your spirits at will." Sherry says.
"But you can't control her or me, so the way I see it you're not in a really good position to do a whole lot." Hurricane Dragon Wizard says.
"I don't need to control her spirits, everything around me from the trees to the rocks are mine to command." Sherry says.
"And as for your controlling of my spirits we'll just have to see about that. I've got a lot more powerful spirits from where that came from." Lucy says as she brings out one of her silver keys though this gains a stare from Wizard.
"I don't think it matters how powerful they are since it seems she can control them no matter what. What are you doing Lucy?" Wizard wonders.
"Gate of Canis Minor, I open thee! Nicolas!" Lucy yells as she summons...Plue?
"Eh? Plue?" Wizard questions with a question mark above his head.
"Oh my, how cute...That is also "love"." Sherry says.
"What the heck does that even mean?!" Lucy and Wizard both ask.
"Let me show you. Doll Attack! Doll Control!" Sherry yells as she extends her hands forward and summons two pink magic circles, sending a bolt of pink energy at Plue which upon hitting him, makes his eyes turn pink as he is now under her control.
"Plue?" Lucy says as Plue then turns and looks at her, its tone and voice when it speaks sounding a bit more malicious then usual which takes Lucy back a bit frightened.
"It's not possible!" Lucy says as then Plue launches itself at Lucy, swinging its arms around crazily as it then begins hitting her in her legs...which does absolutely nothing as Lucy just looks down at her under control but weak Celestial Spirit as it continues pummeling at her legs but to no effect. Causing Wizard and Sherry to sweatdrop at what they see, the former because he just didn't know why Lucy was letting this happen, while the latter was shocked at how weak this spirit was when Lucy made it sound powerful.
"What was the point of all of this exactly?" Wizard questions to himself.
"What the…" Sherry says as a smirk appears on Lucy's face.
"You fell for it!" Lucy says as she swings her whip around her before swinging it down at Sherry who jumps to her right to avoid the hit.
"Damn, it was a small fry spirit!" Sherry says.
"That's right! I purposefully called out a weak spirit, so your technique is useless now!" Lucy says as she swings her whip again at Sherry who dodges it again.
"But...why? You could've just attacked her with your whip like you are now and I could've attacked her with my weapons and magic." Wizard says.
"It was all part of the plan Haruto. No need to say anything else." Lucy says.
"Or you were just trying to show that you could outsmart her." Wizard thinks.
"Release control!" Sherry says as she releases Plue from her control, the spirit realizing what it was doing begins bowing down very fast, and sounds like he's almost crying, apologizing for what he was doing. "Don't worry about it. Go back now, okay?" Lucy says to the spirit as she waves her right hand down at it with a sweatdrop on her forehead as Plue does just that and disappears quickly.
"Doll Attack Rock Doll!" Sherry says as she summons up all of the rocks around her which begin floating into the air.
"We're just going around in circles, aren't we? My spirits destroy your dolls, then you take them over, and I close the gate!' Lucy says as she stops talking and gasps in shock at what she is now seeing in front of her. Now before her is a massive stone golem-like creature that easily towers over her and stands at the same height as most of the trees. "I don't think you have any Spirits for that doll though Lucy. Not unless you plan on giving it a trim somehow with Cancer." Wizard says.
"You don't think I know that!" Lucy yells back.
"Oh, that's strange...Could that also be love? Going "around in circles?" "Destroy"...this? These rocks?" Sherry says.
"Haruto's right...I don't think I have a spirit that could destroy something this big?" Lucy says worryingly with a sweatdrop.
The rock golem raises its right arm and brings it down on Lucy who is saved by Wizard who grabs her and jumps away from where she once stood. "Lucy run!" Wizard says as he releases her and standing back up, brings up his two WizarSwordGun guns and fires on the rock golem, the most his shots do being chipping away at its body.
"No need to tell me that!" Lucy yells as she begins running as fast as she can.
Wizard continues to fire his guns at the rock golem only chipping away at its body. "You're going to have to do better then that if you want to defeat me." Sherry says.
"Sometimes it sucks to be just a copy. Just go Land and I could've easily taken this Golem out by now." Hurricane Dragon Wizard thinks.
"If that's the case, then how about this." Wizard says as he twists around in place and fires both of his guns. The bullets curve through the air until they impact into Sherry herself, sending sparks flying as she cries out in pain and falls onto her knees.
"What? Did he just curve those shots?" Sherry questions as she stands up and holds her hands out, summoning up more rocks as she creates a dome around herself to protect her, leaving out a few small holes as for her to breathe through.
"Destroy him!" Sherry yells from inside as the golem brings both of its fists down on Wizard who rolls out of the way to dodge it. The stone golem then swings its right fist at Wizard who falls onto his back to nearly dodge it, the fist though coming into contact with a small mound. The impact strong enough to cause a landslide as all of the dirt and rocks come tumbling down right on top of Wizard who covers his face and braces for the impact of all of the stuff falling onto him.
Sherry gets rid of the dome around her upon seeing Wizard get buried and smirks, "Good, now then, let's take care of the other Fairy." Sherry says as she orders her rock golem to go after Lucy.
Lucy continued running through the woods, the sounds of battle that she heard seemed to have subsided, though until she heard Haruto's voice she wasn't going to take any chances and kept running. "There she is Rock Doll! Don't let her escape." Lucy heard the all too familiar voice of the girl Sherry, causing to yell out in fear as she quickly picked up her pace until she was kicking up a lot of dust.
The Rock Doll crashed through the trees and began to catch up to Lucy, even though she had a head start, due to the monsters long legs and most likely infinite stamina it didn't take long for it and Sherry to catch up to the Celestial Spirit Wizard. "Catch that little girl!" Sherry orders.
"Who're you callin' a little girl? I look just as old as you do!" Lucy yells back in anger.
"Now, now, if you keep blabbing we'll catch up to you!" Sherry says.
Lucy takes out her ring of keys and in panic tries to figure out which one she could use for a monster like that "Um, which spirit could I use? A spirit I could use…" Lucy says as she thinks of Horologium, Lyra, and Cancer but crosses them all out imaginably since none of them would be of any help in the situation at hand.
"Hey now, if you don't watch where you're going we'll catch up to you!" Sherry says as her Rock Doll throws a fist at Lucy, the fist impacts behind her as Lucy jumps forward and screams in terror. Lucy continues running as now the Doll is on all fours and getting closer and closer to her, turning around for a split second Lucy screams in terror and waves her arms up and down wildly as she sees the doll has its left foot raised to squash her.
"There! Stomp her flat!" Sherry yells as the Rock Doll brings its foot down, Lucy jumping back to barely dodge it as she lands on her butt at the edge of a cliff that overlooks the beachhead and the ocean. Just then the ground in front of her begins to crack as she realizes where she is. "Hey, wait...This's...A cliff!" Lucy screams out.
The edge of the cliff finally gives away and breaks off from the rest, sending it and Lucy falling to the beach below as a loud boom echoes where it crashes.
Lucy lays on her back, completely fine though, not for long. "After her, Rock Doll!" Sherry orders as she and the Rock Doll look over the cliff down at her. Lucy sees this coming and screams in terror again as she gets up and begins running away just as the Rock Doll lands on the beach and immediately continues after her. "That way's a dead-end." Sherry says as Lucy stops in her tracks, finding herself truly at a dead-end as now all that is left before her is the vast ocean.
"The sea...I could call Aquarius here, but…" Lucy considers thinking, when the Rock Doll lets out a roar which catches her attention as she turns to it to see them coming towards her.
"You have nowhere left to run!" Sherry says.
"Water can't destroy rock...And Aquarius would just sweep me away, too...Sweep me away?" Lucy says as it then seems she thinks about something.
"Now, it's time for you to be flattened! That's also love!" Sherry says as the Rock Doll raises its left fist and brings it down on Lucy.
"Not on my watch!" Hurricane Dragon Wizard says as he flies in with his Drago Wings at the last second and grabs Lucy bridal style and carries her away as the fist impacts into where she once stood.
"Lucy, you alright?" Wizard asks.
"Haruto! What happened to you?" Lucy says.
"I got buried under some dirt and rocks, it took me a while but I dug myself out eventually and quickly raced over here as fast as I could." Wizard replies.
"Sweep away...That's it! Haruto, drop me into the water!" Lucy says.
"What?" Wizard asks.
"Drop me in the water, I got a plan." Lucy says as Wizard does so, flying close to the water as he lightly drops her down.
"Gate of the Water Bearer, I open thee! Aquarius!" Lucy yells as she puts the key in the water and twists it like she's opening a door as above the water, Aquarius appears.
"Aquarius?!" Sherry says surprised to see that Celestial Spirit.
"Aquarius?" Wizard says, surprised for another reason due to her not really ever listening to Lucy and sometimes even attacking her.
"The enemy is that woman! You hate women like her, right? Get her!" Lucy says.
"Tch." Aquarius grunts in an annoyed tone as she eyes her with her left eye.
"And there it is." Wizard says quietly to himself with a sweatdrop.
"I see your bad attitude hasn't changed, has it?! Stop complaining and do it!" Lucy orders in anger and annoyed by Aquarius's same attitude as always.
"I see you're still annoying. That's why you can't get a boyfriend." Aquarius says which angers Lucy as she cries out in anger and begins swinging her arms up and down wildly. "Give it a rest!" Lucy cries out.
"Did something happen between these two that she hasn't told us? Or has Aquarius always given this attitude towards her?" Wizard questions.
"Doll Attack! Doll Control!" Sherry yells as she puts Aquarius under her control, Aquarius's eyes now glowing pink just like Taurus and Plue's before. "Now Aquarius will do as I say. Go right ahead and send her back." Sherry says.
"No! She's my trump card!" Lucy retorts.
"How's she your trump card exactly?" Wizard questions.
"Then I can crush you under the power of the sea, yes? Aquarius, erase that woman from my sight!" Sherry orders as Aquarius grunts in reply to the order.
"Shit!" Wizard says.
"I was planning on doing it anyway!" Aquarius yells as she swings her urn and sends a massive blast of water from it. This creates a massive wave which travels towards the beachhead and Lucy, Wizard is barely able to avoid it as he flies above the water and looks back down worried for Lucy...who seems to be laughing happily that this is happening? That is until she's swept up in the water as she cries out in horror. "What's she thinking? She should've know this was going to happen!" Wizard thinks.
"What an idiot…" Sherry says...stopping her sentence as she gasps in shock upon realizing that the massive wave is now over her too and she begins swinging her arms up and down wildly while crying in shock and horror about the attack now seeming to backfire against her. "Hey, wait…" Sherry says but is too late as she too is now swept up into the wave which has now transformed into a tornado of water as she and Lucy are sent spinning around through it as from outside Wizard and Aquarius watch.
"Ohhhh...now I see why she did that." Wizard says now realizing that usually when Aquarius attacks her attack sweeps up both enemy...and friendly then hears Aquarius giggle as he looks down at her who smiles upon seeing her work "Who needs "forced closure" anyway? I'll close the gate myself, thanks...idiots." Aquarius says as he does that and disappears.
"How did Lucy and her form a contract in the first place? I've never seen a woman with that much attitude before and it's really scary. I wonder if she's even scarier than Gentaro's Aquarius?" Wizard wonders as he then notices the water begin washing away and spots both Lucy and Sherry on the beach, both of them not feeling so well after that attack as they both struggle to stand back up...and stay up as they are both now really, really dizzy.
"Aquarius will sweep away enemy and ally alike with her waves." Lucy dizzily says as she stumbles around while holding her arms out, her eyes swirling around from how dizzy the water tornado made her.
"I was careless…" Sherry says in the same way as she is also having trouble standing up and is really dizzy.
Wizard cannot help but watch this unfold from the air with a sweatdrop as the two are not even facing each other and because of how dizzy they are, are pointing in the wrong direction as they "speak" to each other. "But she wasn't able to defeat the Rock Doll, was she?" Sherry says as Lucy babbles behind her.
"So what? Controlled Doll's movements follow the orders of the person controlling them. So there's no need to defeat the Rock Doll. All I needed to do is get you all dizzy and…" Lucy says as she waves her pointing hand up and down while Sherry thinks she's fighting her with as she throws fists forward and then strikes a pose as if she's saying "love" until the two bump into each other. Alarming both to the other's presence as they jump back and turn around, both now stare angrily and annoyed at each other as they grind their teeth together...and then (turning into chibi's) begin a comical like battle as they just...well...slap each other back and forth, back and forth while sliding back and forth across the sand which kicks up around them.
"This is the skill of a Fairy Tail wizard!" Lucy says.
"Playing me to a draw, are we?" Sherry questions.
"A draw? This is my victory!" Lucy says as she is now on Sherry and biting at her head causing her to cry until she jumps off and the two are back at their slapping game again.
"What are you talking about? You're just as dizzy as…" Sherry says as she jumps back and side kicks Lucy with both her feet and the two go back at it again.
"I am really confused on what to do right now." Wizard says to himself.
"Then, how about some of this?" Lucy says as she then clothesline Sherry across the face, sending her falling to the ground.
"I...lost?" Sherry says in shock as she falls.
"How about that? I'm a Fairy Tail wizard too you know!" Lucy says as the sun begins to rise up, its light glistening across the ocean and soon hitting the island as this attack seems to finally destroy the Rock Doll as it crumbles to pieces. "Even if the flame of my life were to be snuffed out...There is no untruth to my love for Reitei-sama." Sherry says as tears fly from her face, wedding bells toll and she thinks about Lyon with blue flowers behind him.
'You're not gonna die, drama queen." Lucy says.
"Overreacting just a tad bit there." Wizard adds in as Sherry hits the ground and in her final conscious moments says "Angelica...Avenge me…"
Hearing this shocks both Lucy and Wizard as then from the forest behind Lucy, the giant rat Angelica leaps out from it towards Lucy. "Wait! That thing wasn't a Doll?" Lucy says as she turns around and sees it as she then falls onto her knees.
"Lucy watch out!" Wizard yells as he brings out his WizarSwordGun in sword mode and flies towards the beast. "Oh no! I can't move my legs…" Lucy says.
"She must be more hurt then I thought! Crap, I'm not gonna make it!" Wizard thinks.
The giant rat gets closer to body slamming Lucy who screams in terror "Aw, crap…"
"Lucy!" Wizard yells...when someone beats him to the punch and slices the creature across its chest, the person being Erza who wields one of her swords as she flies underneath the thing after cutting it as both Lucy and Wizard gasp in shock upon seeing Erza. The creature crashes onto the ground right next to Sherry as now for sure both it, and Sherry are unconscious and out of the battle. "Erza? Where did she...uh oh." Wizard says as he realizes something.
"Erza!" Lucy yells in joy to see her...until she notices the really angry stare that Erza gives her "...Ma'am." Lucy finishes as she sweats upon too realizing herself why Erza is here in the first place. "Oh yeah...We broke the guild rules and went on an S class quest without permission…" Lucy thinks as her forehead goes blue and sweat goes down her face, now in fear of Erza being there in front of her as she can just see the anger in her eyes.
"This isn't good. While it's a good thing we're here since Dai-Shocker turned out to come here for Deliora, it's not like we can say that without exposing who we are." Wizard thinks as he floats above nearby.
"Lucy, Haruto. You two know why I'm here, don't you?" Erza says not once breaking the angry look she gives to Lucy as she also looks up at Wizard.
"To take us back...ain't that right?" Lucy says as she pretends to be happy for Erza to be there...which doesn't change the mood at all around her.
"You know...I would really love to stay and chat...but I feel like I should uh...go now." Wizard says.
"And where would that be?" Erza questions.
"Well, this isn't my place since I'm technically not the real Haruto. I'm just one of his copies, so this isn't a place for me, more for the real Haruto when you find him so...bye, bye." Wizard says as a green magic circle appears above him and goes down, making him disappear.
"I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE THE REAL HARUTO OR NOT! GET BACK HERE AND DON'T LEAVE ME ALONE WITH HER!" Lucy cries out in her head.
Lucy looks back at Erza and sees her face still not showing the slightest change, causing her to shake in place as she is now fearful for what is about to happen.
Somewhere else on the Island…
"Soiya! Mix: Jimber Lemon! Ha-Ha!"
Transforming into his Jimber Lemon Arms, Gaim pulls back on his Sonic Arrow and releases a few energy arrows at the Dai-Shocker foot soldiers in front of him, taking them out. The Tiger Orphnoch jumps up in the air and descends down on Gaim, swinging his right armed claws forward as Gaim seeing this acts quickly and blocks the attack with his Sonic Arrow. Gaim is able to push back the Tiger Orphnoch with his enhanced strength as he strikes the monster a few times with the blades on the front of his Sonic Arrow, sending the creature stumbling back after each strike as he then kicks the Tiger Orphnoch into a tree trunk.
The Sheerghost spews silk from its mouth towards Fourze "Shield, On!" Fourze uses the Shield to block the silk as he places the Gatling Astroswitch in his Driver and activates it "Gatling, On!" The Gatling Module appears on his left leg as he aims it at the Sheerghost and fires it, sending a barrage of bullets into the creature as sparks fly from the creature every time it is hit until it is sent flying onto its back. Gaim strikes a combatman away from him and turns around only to be struck by the Tiger Orphnoch sending him stumbling back. As he stops, he feels the ground shake beneath him as the ground erupts in front of him and the Mole Imagin jumps up from the hole, striking Gaim in an uppercut strike with his drill which sends Gaim onto his back.
"Kouta!" Fourze yells as the Mole Imagin sees him and then dives in his general direction into the ground as he powers up his drill and burrows into the ground.
"Mole, Hammer, On! Meet hammer!" Fourze says as the Hammer Module appears on his left hand and he prepares for a game of whack a mole.
As Fourze scans his surroundings for where the Mole Imagin will appear, the Mole Imagin digs his way up a few feet behind him "Hello!" The Mole Imagin yells catching Fourze's attention as he turns around and jumps at the Mole Imagin, swinging his hammer down as he slams it down on the Mole Imagin...who goes back into his hole before he can be hit. Fourze lifts his hammer but finds his attack having of missed as the Mole Imagin then digs up behind him and calls out Fourze again who jumps at him and slams his hammer down, but misses again as the Mole Imagin goes back through his hole. The Mole Imagin and Fourze continue this exchange again and again for a while as the Mole Imagin digs or comes up from one of his created holes and calls out Fourze who jumps or scrambles to get to him and hit him on the head with his Hammer Module, being too slow though as the Mole Imagin ducks back into his hole before he can get hit or Fourze can get near him.
Meanwhile Gaim who is sitting on his butt, the Tiger Orphnoch, Sheerghost Mirror Monster, and the remainder of the Dai-Shocker foot soldiers just watch the event unfold as all of them tilt their heads confused. As Fourze misses the Mole Imagin again, the Mole Imagin appears right behind him and pokes Fourze with his drill, causing Fourze to yelp as he hops forward while holding his butt and turn around as he body flops onto the mole Imagin who goes right back into his system of holes. Fourze slams his right fist into the ground in frustration, letting out a grunt of coming up with a plan as he stands up and places his Stealth Astroswitch into his Cross Module Basement on his Driver and activates it. "Stealth!"
"Stealth, On!"
As the Stealth module appears on his right leg, he activates it and goes invisible. The Mole Imagin appears behind him and calls out to him, only to find that Fourze is no longer there. The Mole Imagin puts his right hand above his eyes and scans around him to try and locate where Fourze is, who is sneaking up right behind him with his Stealth Module. As the Stealth Module's five seconds come to an end, he reappears right above and behind the Mole Imagin with his hammer raised as the Mole Imagin comes back around...and finds Fourze right in front of him as he looks up at him. "Hello." Fourze says as the Mole Imagin screams in terror and Fourze brings the Hammer down onto his head. Smacking him really hard as the Mole Imagin becomes dazed and stars circle around him and he falls forward.
"Yeah! Now where's my prize?!" Fourze yells.
"This isn't a game of whack a mole Gentaro!" Gaim yells angrily at his fellow Rider who hops on one foot in fright of the yell.
"Man, I can only hope the others aren't dealing with this…" Gaim says to himself.
Near the Temple…
Haruto and Natsu snore away, having of accidentally fallen asleep the night before not that long after the fight with Yuka and Toby and just after Natsu came up with a plan for how to stop Deliora from being revived.
Elsewhere on the Island…
The Formica Regia Lord jabs her Trident forward at Double who in Heat/Metal form blocks the attack with his Metal Shaft as he places it in between the prongs. He is unfortunately attacked from his side and struck away by Formica Pedes as he is sent flying to his side. Standing back up, he takes his Metal Memory and places it into his Shaft "Metal! Maximum Drive!"
"Metal Branding!" Double yells as he slides towards the two Lords as fire comes out from either end of his Metal Shaft and strikes the two Lords, sending them flying back onto their stomachs as they manage to survive the attack and stand back up a bit weakened.
"Damn bugs don't know when to quit." Double/Shotaro says as he charges towards them, as behind him a bunch of Gatakiriba shades and the original one among them, engage the large number of enemy foot soldiers, some strike them down with their Kamakiri swords, others blast down large groups of them with lightning blasts from their horns, and others engage them in hand-to-hand combat. Meanwhile two of the shades changed into other forms, one into the Shauta Combo to engage the Shark Fangire, and the other into the Sagohzo Combo to engage the Warthog Fangire. The Shark Fangire swings its massive claws at Shauta Combo OOO who dodges the attacks and kicks him in his back, but has no effect as the Shark Fangire simply backhands him away as OOO rolls back a few feet. The Warthog Fangire attempts to charge into the Sagohzo Combo but the Sagohzo Combo OOO stops him in his tracks by grabbing his tusks and pushing him back before throwing him back and as the Warthog Fangire turns around to counter, is punched across the face by the Sagohzo OOO.
Back with Gaim and Fourze…
"Fire, On!"
Fourze transforms into his Fire State and fires his Hee-Hackgun, hitting and driving back the Sheerghost and Mole Imagin as Gaim pulled back and fired energy arrows at the Tiger Orphnoch and drove him back until all three monsters were together and far enough away from the two Riders. "Let's finish this Gentaro!" Gaim says.
"Right with ya!" Gentaro replies.
Gaim places the Lemon Energy Lockseed onto his Sonic Arrow and then pulls the cutting blade to activate the Orange Lockseed as Fourze places the Fire Astroswitch into the Switch Slot on his gun.
"Soiya! Orange Squash! Lemon Energy!"
"Limit Break!"
Fourze aims his gun while Gaim pulls back and powers up the energy arrow, a row of orange and lemon slices appearing in front of him as then both of them release/fire their powered up attacks at the three monsters, the attacks hitting the three monsters and sending sparks flying from them as the three creatures roar out in pain and then fall backwards and explode. With the three monsters dealt with, the Riders go back to their basic forms and look around to see that no more Dai-Shocker monsters and combatmen remain. "Well, that takes care of them. Now what?" Gaim wonders.
"We should probably head to the village. Let's just hope Haruto took care of that Undead in time and then helped Lucy defend it from those three weirdos." Fourze says.
"Man, that battle took longer than I thought. Sun's already up, and man did we drive them far away from the temple. Weren't we like really close to the place before?" Gaim questions as he and Fourze turn their heads and find themselves really far away from the temple, the two having of been able to drive the Dai-Shocker forces away from the temple so as to not attract any attention from that Lyon guy or his followers.
"Wow, we really did drive them far away. Didn't even notice. Well, either way, we kicked their butts and now it's time to head back to the village." Fourze says when a branch snaps from the bushes in front of them, Gaim pulling out and pulling back on his Musou Saber as he then fires a shot into the forest and a familiar scream is heard.
"Eh/Huh?" Gaim and Fourze say at the same time. "Did that sound familiar to you?" Gaim asks as then the tall bushes in front of them move around and out from it comes Lucy and Happy.
"Lucy? Happy? What are you guys…" Before Gaim can finish his sentence, he and Fourze notice the two have horrified looks on their faces, tears seem to have been going down their faces for a long time...and they seem to be tied up in rope, Happy floating in the air with his wings but still tied up.
"Uh...why are you guys tied up in rope? And why do you look like you've just seen something really scary?" Fourze asks as the two follow the ropes into the bush as it moves again...and Erza comes out from it, her sword summoned up and in front of her as a blast mark can be seen on it. The sword is lowered as the two see for the first time the really angered face of Erza. The two are speechless and taken back for word at seeing Erza as they gag in shock and horror "Er...za…" The two say in unison.
"Hello there, Kouta, Gentaro." Erza says with the dark look still in her eyes.
"Damn, on one hand, talk about a close call since it looks like they were really close when we finished off those Dai-Shocker guys...on the other hand. We broke the rules and went on an S Class mission without Makarov's permission first and while it's a good thing we came since Dai-Shocker did they can't know that which means in the eyes of everyone else we're the bad ones here!" Gaim thinks.
"If you two are smart, you will surrender now and not try anything. Otherwise…" Erza says as the two Riders are actual scared on what to do. Fourze looks at Gaim and back at Erza, doing this a few more times until he out of nowhere pushes Gaim forward towards Erza and turns tail and runs away "Sorry Kouta!" Fourze yells as Gaim is lost for words at what just happened as he panics with sweat flying from his head and turns back at Fourze.
"What the hell Gentaro!" Gaim yells in anger.
"Sorry! Every Rider for himself!" Fourze yells as he continues running for his life.
"Luna!"
"Metal!"
"Luna! Metal!"
"Metal! Maximum Drive!"
"Metal Illusion!" Double yells as he twirls his Metal Shaft around, creating Golden Rings around him as he then swings his shaft forward, sending the rings towards the two Lords, hitting them as it sends them stumbling back with sparks flying from them. "Scanning Charge!" Both Shauta and Sagohzo OOO scan their Scanner over their Drivers and jump up into the air, Shauta transforming his legs into Octopus legs as they spin around like a drill while Sagohzo puts his two feet together, the two come down towards the Fangires and deliver their respective kicks into them which sends them stumbling back while sparks fly from them as well. The four monsters eventually stumble into each other as electricity surges through their bodies and sparks continue to fly from them.
"Damn you, Kamen Riders...this battle is far from over." The Shark Fangire says as he and the other monsters scream out in pain and explode into nothing. The shades disappear leaving the original OOO and Double who go back to their basic forms. "Think the others did their part?" OOO asks.
"Knowing them, I'm sure they did. Come on, we should probably head back to the temple. It won't be long until it gets dark again and we need to stop that Lyon guy and his followers from bringing back that Deliora thing." Double/Shotaro says.
"Maybe Gray managed to beat him." OOO says.
"Maybe he did, maybe he didn't. We should check to make sure, and if he didn't, then we'll do it." Double/Shotaro says.
"Are you sure? It looks like there's something between him and Gray. They know each other somehow and I feel like it should be settled out between those two." OOO says.
"And if Gray fails then that demon's gonna come back to life. We don't have time for personal fights, we need to stop this guy and his friends from bringing back that demon." Double/Shotaro says as OOO reluctantly agrees with him and nods his head. The two then begin to make their way back to the temple.
At a Storage Area for the Villagers…
Gray finally awakens, bandages are wrapped around his stomach and right arm, some go from his left shoulder around his body. He sits up and looks around to find himself in some kind of storage building as crates, pots, and mattresses are all around him. "Where am I?" Gray questions as he gets up and walks through the curtain doorway, coming out of a massive teepee.
"Thank goodness! You're awake." Gray looks to his left to see a young woman with short blue hair and pale skin, wearing orange bra and a green skirt, in addition to a large purple and white necklace, red bracelets and a yellow strap around her neck, but then like the rest of the villagers, a part of her is demonic looking as her left leg is light blue with a dark blue horn on her knee.
"Where is this?" Gray asks.
"This is a storage area a bit removed from the village. The village was destroyed last night, so everyone took refuge here." The woman says.
"The village is gone?" Gray asks, when he then remembers Lyon's orders to destroy the village. "Lyon, you bastard...You actually went and did it?" Gray questions in his head when he then feels a sharp pain in his left chest.
"But thanks to Ms. Lucy, Mr. Natsu, and Mr. Haruto, no one was injured, so we have to at least be glad for that." The woman says.
"Are they also here?" Gray asks.
"Yes. They asked us to direct you to their tent when you woke up."
"I see." Gray says.
"They're waiting in that big tent." The woman says as she points Gray towards it.
Gray walks over to it and opens up the curtain door...only to be greeted by a still angry look on her face Erza who sits on a barrel with her left leg over her right and her hands together and on top as Lucy and Happy are on their knees to her left crying their eyes out and Gaim and Fourze are to her right on their knees, still in their Rider Forms but tied up with chains instead as Gaim supports Fourze on his shoulder due to the latter being really bruised and hurt since his attempt to run away didn't go well and since he was wearing his armor Erza took the liberty to strike him a few times for his attempt with her two swords.
"You're late Gray." Erza says.
"Erza?!" Gray says in shock to see her.
"Lucy, Happy? Kouta, Gentaro?" Gray says in shock as he notices the others.
"I've heard what happened from Lucy. Weren't you supposed to be stopping Natsu? I'm speechless." Erza says as she stands up and puts her left hand to her hip in a disappointed stance.
"Where's Natsu? Haruto and the others?" Gray asks.
"That's what I'd like to know." Erza says as Lucy stops crying to explain the situation.
Flashback…
Erza, Lucy, Gaim, and Fourze stand at the entrance to what remains of the village. Happy flying in the sky to locate where Gray and the villagers went as Erza holds him and Lucy's ropes in her left hand while holding the chains that bind the Riders to her right.
"He and Haruto should've been in the village fighting Reitei's lackeys. But when we went to check, there was no one there. I figured that Natsu and Haruto would be okay, and Erza told me to take her to where you were, Gray," Lucy says.
"I searched from the air, and that's how we found this storage area." Happy says.
Flashback Ends…
"And what about Haruto, Shotaro, Philip and Eiji?" Gray asks.
Flashback…
Gaim and Fourze are chained up by Erza as the group heads to the remains of the village, Erza asks the two Riders where the others were. Gaim and Fourze knew they couldn't say anything about Dai-Shocker and quickly lied to her about where they were.
"We split up because we found some of those followers of Reitei. They splitted up into two groups and headed off to different parts of the island for some reason, so me and Gentaro decided to follow one group while Shotaro, Philip, and Eiji went after the other. Haruto was told to come back here to the village to help defend it and that's how he came to be here to help Natsu out." Gaim explains.
Flashback Ends…
"Gray, we're going in search of Natsu and the others. When we find them, we're returning to the guild.
Gray is shocked by what Erza says "What are you saying Erza? If you heard what's going on, then you've got to know what's happening on this island!" Gray says.
"And what of it?" Erza says as she looks at him, her face saying it all that she didn't care about anything that was going on and only cared about getting them back to the Guild.
Gray is lost for words at this as he stares at her, he couldn't believe what he was hearing, and he wasn't the only one who didn't like this…
At the entrance to the Temple…
"Shoot…" Natsu says after he yawns, he and Haruto approaching the entrance to the temple.
"I finally had a good idea, and then we overslept." Natsu says as he rubs his eyes. "Guess that fight took more out of us then we thought." Haruto says.
"Looks like my Hurricane Dragon finally called itself off. Hope he was helpful to Lucy and she's alright." Haruto thinks.
The two step up to the doorway to the temple. "Anyway, let's start! Ready, Haruto?" Natsu says as he raises his right fist up to the doorway and looks at Haruto.
"Shabadoobi Touch Henshin, Shabadoobi Touch Henshin, Shabadoobi Touch Henshin. Flame, Please…Hi-Hi! Hi-Hi-Hi!"
"Now, I'm ready. And, it's...showtime." Wizard says.
Back with the others…
"I came here to bring back some guild rule-breakers. I have not a sliver of interest in anything else." Erza says without looking at Gray.
Gray grunts "Didn't you see what the people on this island look like?" Gray questions.
"And you're just going to leave them like that?!" Gray says, the anger in his tone rising.
"The request has been posted to every guild. Would it not be better to leave it to some guild wizards that take on the job properly?" Erza says.
"I misjudged you, Erza!" Gray says finally losing his patience.
Erza glances back at him "What did you say?" Erza says.
"How dare you say that to the great Erza!" Happy cries out with sweat flying from his head in panic.
"The great?" Lucy and Fourze question.
"You intend to break the guild rules as well?" Erza questions as she summons one of her swords and puts it right at Gray's throat. "You won't get away with it." Erza says.
"How could you?" Gaim says which seems to catch everyone's attention as they stare at him. "How could you say that you don't care about what's going on here? You've seen the villagers, you know what's happening here with that Reitei guy and Deliora...and all you can say is what of it?" Gaim questions as he stands up.
"You're saying that a bunch of rule-breakers are more important than saving a bunch of people from turning into demons and stopping a powerful demon from being resurrected? What the hell kind of bullshit is that?!" Gaim yells in anger as he approaches Erza, causing Lucy and the others including Fourze to stare in shock and awe at what Gaim is doing as Erza narrows his eyes towards him. "Learn your place recruit." Erza says towards the Rider.
"So what, that mission against Eisenwald and Lullaby. That wasn't even a request and yet we still did it. Why is that an exception and this isn't?! Is it because a Dark Guild was involved? Was it because the Guild Masters were in danger which included Master Makarov?!" Gaim says, this shocks the others as this seems to anger Erza a lot as she summons another sword and actually strikes Gaim on his shoulder, sending sparks flying as she keeps it there and is prepared to cut down his shoulder, though Gaim doesn't stagger or even yell from the pain.
"Erza!" Lucy yells.
"Kouta!" Fourze yells.
"You are trending on some mighty thin ice, Kouta. I don't care if you helped us out on that mission. If you do not stop now, I will strike you down without hesitation." Erza says.
"Then do it!" Gaim yells as he breaks free of his chains. "Isn't our job as wizards supposed to be helping people? Aren't we supposed to help people that need it, protect them from those who wish harm and death upon them!? A demon's about to be resurrected and these people are about to lose their minds and maybe even slaughtered by this demon and all you care about is bringing some rule breakers back to the guild? They said, that demon was going to be thawed out by tonight, there's no time for another guild to pick up this job cause by then that thing's going to be free! And causing death and destruction everywhere! I don't care that I broke the rules, cause the way I see it, if we didn't come here then these guys would've brought that demon back to life already. WE are the only ones who can stop that from happening. I don't give a damn what you do, strike me down if you will, but I am going to do my job and save these people. I am going to do my job as a wizard and stop those bastards from reviving that demon. Force the others back with you to the guild, strike me down for breaking the rules and challenging your authority. But know this, if that demon is brought back to life...all of the death and destruction that follows that thing will be on your hands for stopping us." Gaim says as he gets up in Erza's face.
All of a sudden Erza feels a tug on her other sword and looks to see Gray holding it right at his Fairy Tail mark as she and him exchange angered and determined looks at one another "Kouta's right...do what you must!" Gray says as Lucy, Happy, and Fourze continue to watch this tense scene unfold.
"This is the path I've chosen. It's something I've got to do." Gray says as Erza grinds her teeth in anger as she looks at both Gray and then Gaim before then lowering her swords away from the two.
"Let's go, Kouta." Gray says as he and Gaim walk past Erza to the entrance.
"We're going to finish this. If you're going to cut us down, do it." Gray says as the two wait for a bit before taking their leave, Erza grunting in anger at this.
Lucy and Happy watch this with awe while both of their hearts also beat fast from the tension that was in the room, when Erza then turns towards them and Fourze causing the two to yelp in fear. "Hey, Erza, calm down!" Lucy pleads as sweat runs down her face like crazy and her eyes go white.
"Gray's just angry cause he lost to his old friend! And Kouta well I don't know about him!" Happy also pleads in the same manner as then in a few swift motions, Erza cuts to two free of their ropes as they are surprised by this "The present situation is unacceptable. So we'll continue this after the present problem is solved." Erza says.
"Erza!" Lucy and Happy yell in joy now thinking things will be alright.
"Don't get the wrong idea. You WILL be punished." Erza says as she has her back turn towards the two.
"Aye…" the two agree knowing it was too good to be true.
"Gentaro." Erza says as Fourze stands up and just like Gaim easily breaks the chains. "Even though we're still in trouble, I still don't mind saying that with you here these guys won't know what hit them." Fourze says.
Back at the Temple…
In a throne like room, the man known as Lyon Vastia who without his helmet on has bluish silver hair, most of which are spiky strands that jut upwards on top of his head and was an apprentice to the same teacher Ul as Gray was, stands in front of the throne chair. "How pitiful. You're the only one left, Toby?" Lyon asks in disappointment at seeing only one of his wizard comrades standing before him as Toby growls in a uncomfortable tone.
Lyon sits on the chair "Damn you, Fairy Tail...Not bad." Lyon says.
"Deliora's resurrection may be in danger at this rate." A new voice says as someone else enters the room.
"So you're here, Zalty…" Lyon says talking to a hermit man with bushy and long green hair wearing a brown cape over his red robe and a strange tribal-looking mask with four horns on it which conceals his face.
"Deliora will be resurrected when we pour in the full magical power of the moon tonight. However, if the Moon Drip ceremony is interrupted, Deliora will stay in that ice forever...And what's more, Titania has joined the enemy forces." The man known as Zalty informs.
"Your intelligence is fast as always. But I cannot be defeated. Nothing defeats the ice sword that surpasses even Ul's…" Lyon says as he holds up his left hand as cold air floats in the palm of it.
"That is quite heartening to hear, yes...Then, it's been a while, but perhaps I should join in the battle myself…" Zalty says.
"Wait, you used to be able to fight?!" Toby yells out surprised.
"Yes, I know a bit of Lost Magic you see…" Zalty says.
"Hm, what an ominous fellow." Lyon says when the building begins shaking which catches his and the others attentions. "An earthquake?!" Toby worryingly asks when the building then begins tipping over to its left and then begins going back and forth as the shaking and loud booms that echo out continue.
"The ruins are collapsing!" Toby yells.
Down below, Natsu slams a fire coated fist and then kick into a few of the pillars.
"Come on a Shoot, Shake Hands! Come on a Shoot, Shake Hands! Flame! Shooting Strike! Hi-Hi! Hi-Hi-Hi!" Wizard twirls around as he fires his WizarSwordGun with fireballs coming out and striking all of the pillars around him causing even more destruction. These attacks appear to be the cause of the trouble for the temple which know tips back over to its left, followers of Lyon who are inside are sent tumbling to the left side of the building as back down below Natsu and Wizard continue their destruction with Natsu shooting a fire dragon roar upwards which travels through several floors and even past the room where Lyon and his group is, shocking them.
"What the heck is this?" Lyon questions.
"They didn't waste any time…" Zalty says as he looks down, not sounding surprised for some reason.
"Look, they're down below." Zalty says as Lyon and Toby walk over and look down the hole, spotting Natsu and Wizard at the very bottom of it.
"Well, looks like we've been discovered." Wizard says.
"I'd rather destroy it before you found us out, but these ruins are a lot harder to bring down than I thought. Even with two of us working on it." Natsu says.
"What are you trying to do?" Lyon angrily questions.
"Tip the building over! Then the moonlight can't land on the demon in the basement!" Natsu replies.
"You bastard! How dare you?! Curse you Fairy Tail!" Lyon yells.
"I dunno...I don't get what's going on at all…" Toby says with a question mark appearing next to his head.
"They're trying to tilt these ruins. By destroying half of the pillars holding up the base of the ruins, he can tilt the building so that the light of the moon will not hit Deliora. That's their plan, I believe. He may not look like it, but he's quite shrewd." Zalty says.
"Enough blabbing! Let's get them, Haruto!" Natsu says as he fires flames beneath his feet which levitate him into the air.
"Right." Wizard agrees as he puts the Extend Ring on his right hand.
"Extend, Please."
A red magic circle above in front of Wizard. "Flames on his legs? Magic rings?" Lyon says since he has never seen Natsu or Wizard's magic before.
"That one can produce flames from all over his body! And that one uses Magic Rings, can create copies of himself and has the powers of the four elements!" Toby says as then Natsu propels himself up through the holes so fast, that Lyon isn't able to react in time as Natsu headbutts him in the stomach shocking Toby whose mouth drops open while Zalty just smiles. However Lyon's body cracks and then breaks apart, revealing itself to be an ice clone. "Huh? A fake?" Natsu says realizing it as he turns around and sees Lyon preparing to blast him with his Ice Magic.
"Ice Make Eagle!" Lyon yells as he summons ice that looks like small birds which fly towards Natsu. "You can't avoid them from the air!" Lyon says.
Back below Wizard puts his hand through the magic circle which then extends and elongates his hand upwards through the holes while making it big as well, though not as big as the Big Ring would make his hand. The hand grabs onto the ledge which catches everyone's attention as Wizard then pulls himself upwards and launches himself through the holes in the floor, arriving up at the same floor as the others as he has his WizarSwordGun gun mode at the ready and fires his silver bullets which travel towards and destroy all of the ice eagles.
"He...shot my Eagles?!" Lyon says in shock.
Natsu smirks as he falls back to the ground, landing on his hands as he pushes himself backwards and blasts at Lyon with a stream of fire from both of his legs. Lyon barely ducks under the attack as the fire burns the wall behind him "What random magic…" Lyon says annoyed as he is forced to jump up when Natsu does the same attack but spins it around in all directions.
"Natsu, together!" Wizard says as he stands behind Natsu.
"Flame! Shooting Strike!"
"Roar of the Fire Dragon!" Natsu yells as both of them let loose a stream of fire towards Lyon. Zalty extends his left hand out towards them as the ground below the two all of a sudden softens up and then disappears entirely, sending the two falling down through it as they scream out in surprise.
Lyon lands back on the ground "It seems you were in luck, Reitei-sama." Zalty says as behind him Toby seems to not be so lucky and is burnt to a crisp as smoke comes from him but seems to be ignoring it. "Just keep the fact that I got to yourself…" Toby says.
"What did you do?" Lyon questions.
"What indeed?" Zalty replies.
"Don't dodge the question. It was your magic that destroyed that floor!" Lyon says.
"Ah, Reitei-sama...Nothing gets past your eyes. But please understand. I cannot afford to lose you until Deliora is resurrected." Zalty says.
"You're saying I'd be beaten if I was hit by those flames?" Lyon questions as he releases a lot of cold air into the room before then releasing a surge of ice below him and transforming the room into ice. "Begone. I will finish them myself." Lyon says as he looks back at the hole to see Natsu pulling himself up through it while Wizard is already back and crouched down with his WizarSwordGun in sword mode held at the ready. "I'm the one and only wizard who can defeat Deliora. Reitei Lyon! To even imply that I would have trouble with brats like them is insulting." Lyon says with a dark and angry look on his face.
"Oh my…" Zalty says.
"Defeat Deliora?" Natsu and Wizard question.
In the Forest…
The rest of the group, Gray, Lucy, Happy, Erza, Fourze, and Gaim run/fly as fast as they can to the temple.
"Defeat Deliora? That's his goal?" Lucy asks as Gray has explained to them Lyon's actual plans.
"Wait, his plan is to not bring it back to cause death and destruction?" Gaim asks.
Back at the Temple…
"But it's like, already half defeated, right? So you want to break it free of the ice on purpose to fight it? That's pretty whacked out there buddy." Natsu asks as he and Wizard stand before Lyon.
"It's all to surpass Ul. So I can continue to dream!" Lyon yells as he sends more ice eagles towards the two.
While Natsu jumps to avoid the eagles that attack him, Wizard uses his Defend Ring to surround himself in a dome of fire which melts all of the eagles the enter it. "Then why don't you just challenge Ul directly?!" Natsu questions.
"Because...she's dead. Isn't she? There's no other reason than that, otherwise you wouldn't try bringing back a dangerous demon." Wizard says.
"That's right. Didn't you hear? Ul's already dead!" Lyon says as Natsu then thinks back to what Gray said when they first encountered the frozen Deliora.
"The demon who Ul, the wizard who taught me magic, risked her life to seal away!"
With the attack ending, Wizard lowers his dome of fire as Natsu is not that far away to his left "So she ended up dying?" Natsu says.
"That's right. And it was Gray's fault." Lyon says as he then summons to ice eagles from behind Natsu and Wizard who notice this and turn around as the eagle's impact into them, creating a giant frost mist that obscures them from Lyon's view. As the mist goes away, it reveals Natsu and Wizard, Natsu has bruises on his arms as he raised them to defend his face but still took the hit while Wizard was able to shoot his down before it hit him. "I don't know what happened in the past. But what you're trying to do now is making a lot of people suffer. I'm gonna make you open your eyes! With my hot flames" Natsu says as he summons a fireball into his left hand.
"What you're doing is too dangerous. If it took your master's life to only seal that thing away but not kill it. That means the creature's going to be too strong, even for you! You're putting a lot of people's lives in danger if you release that creature and it can't be destroyed. Which is why we will stop you." Wizard says.
Back with the other Group…
"Lyon's aim has always been to surpass Ul. Now with Ul gone, he wants to defeat Deliora, a foe that Ul couldn't kill, in order to surpass her." Gray says as he leans his right arm against a tree, explaining things to the others as they have stopped to listen.
"I see. So that's why the only way for him to surpass someone who's dead." Lucy says.
"Aye." Happy agrees.
"But it's too dangerous. If your master is as powerful as you said she is, and she couldn't defeat that thing the odds of him doing it are just as slim." Fourze says.
"Not to mention if he releases that thing he's putting probably thousands if not millions of lives at risk if we can't defeat that thing if it's released." Gaim says.
"No...He...Lyon doesn't know." Gray says which makes the others curious to what he means. "It's true that Ul is no longer with us. But...Ul is still...alive!" Gray says which shocks everyone including Erza as they all gasp.
"Wait, wait, wait hold on a second...repeat that again please." Fourze says just as confused as the others are.
"Ul is still alive." Gray replies.
"What do you mean?" Erza asks.
"Yeah, you said she's dead...and now you're saying she's still alive. How is she dead but yet still alive?" Gaim asks trying to get his head around what he was saying.
"Ten years ago...The city where I lived was attacked by Deliora. It didn't even take a day for it to be destroyed." Gray begins.
It took a while, but Gray told them the entire story of how his city was destroyed, his parents were killed, Ul and Lyon found him and she took him as a second student and taught him Ice-Make magic...and was also the one who got him into the bad habit of stripping. He told them how upon hearing where Deliora was he left Ul and Lyon to face off against the demon and defeat it himself to avenge his parents, though, it didn't go well as he collapsed during the battle and awoke to find Ul taking the demon on. She told him to take Lyon who was knocked out as well during the battle and run and as he was about to he noticed how she had somehow lost one of her legs and replaced it with an ice make leg. Lyon had awoken which is when he told them that it was his dream to surpass Ul and was about to perform the Iced Shell spell on the demon which while powerful, used the spirit and physical body of the user to freeze the target into a block of ice which destroys their body but in a way they are still alive in the form of the ice. Ul was able to stop him before he killed himself and used it herself to seal the demon, before disappearing telling Gray to tell Lyon that she died and told him to step into the future, since she would seal his darkness. The next day, Lyon woke up and discovered Deliora encased in ice and Ul's sacrifice. He berated Gray for her death and the two apprentices parted ways
After some silence about hearing Gray's story, as much as they wanted to say something to support him about his past Erza reminded them that they needed to get to the temple fast since it was going to be nighttime in a few hours and the group hurried on their way. Upon coming into sight of the temple, the group couldn't help but stop in their tracks at what they saw, the strangeness of the sight causing Lucy, Happy, and Fourze to tilt their heads as they saw before them the temple, smoke coming from the bottom as the building itself was tipped to the left. "Huh? The ruins are..." Lucy says.
"Tilted?" Fourze finishes.
"What happened?" Happy wonders.
"Natsu I bet." Gray says.
"Yeah." Erza agrees.
"And if Natsu's there, that means Haruto's there as well and probably helped out in whatever it is they did." Gaim says.
"Not sure how they did it, but only he would do something nuts like that. It doesn't really matter whether they did it on purpose or not. Now the light of the moon won't shine on Deliora." Gray says.
"Who knew that his tendency for wanton destruction could actually come in handy?" Lucy says as she readjusts her head as does Fourze while Happy tries to do it but for some reason appears to be having trouble.
"I knew. It was foreshadowed." Happy says as he then accidentally cracks his head all the way to the right frightening and taking Lucy and Fourze by surprise.
Just then the group hears movement in the brush to their right. Gaim acts quickly and pulls out his Musou Saber and pulling back on the pallet, loads up and fires a shot into the brush when a familiar cry of pain rings out "YEOWWWWWWWW!"
The group looks on into the brush as Gaim sweatdrops upon realizing who he just shot. "Was that...Shotaro?" Fourze says.
"I think it was." Lucy says.
"You know Kouta, you should probably not do that anymore. First you almost hit Erza, and now you hit Shotaro." Fourze says as Gaim begins to panic with sweat flying from his head.
"I-I didn't know it was him I thought it was...uhhh...and you know what, I didn't shoot Shotaro, you did!" Gaim says as he shoves his Musou Saber into Fourze's arms who then panics as well as he tries to force it back to him. "Oi oi! What the hell are you doing?! Don't get me involved in this! I already took a beating from Erza as it is!" Fourze says in panic.
"I DON'T CARE WHICH ONE OF YOU TWO SHOT ME!" Double/Shotaro yells as he comes storming out from the bush in an angry stride with the shot being noticed on the right side of his chest with OOO right behind him. "CAUSE YOU'RE BOTH GOING TO BE IN A LOT OF PAIN AFTER I'M DONE WITH YOU AND THEN…" As Double spoke OOO noticed a certain red-headed wizard as he was taken back in fear of this and began tapping Double's shoulder to get his attention.
"WHAT IS IT EIJI?!" Double/Shotaro yells as he turns around to OOO.
"Shotaro...we've got company." OOO says as he points over in a direction, Double follows it and then spots Erza herself. "ERZA?!" Double/Shotaro yells in panic as sweat flies from his face.
"Well, would you like at the time. I think-"
"Oi, oi, sempai. No need to worry, she's helping us out...though we're still going to be punished after this is all over." Fourze says.
"Oh...great. Hehe...just...great." Double/Shotaro says in a very "enthusiastic" tone.
"You probably should've expected it was going to happen no matter what." Double/Philip says.
Just then, Erza turned her head in the other direction and seems to sense something, the Riders noticing this as just then from the other treeline, sharp boomerang like weapons are thrown through the bushes at the group. "Watch out!" Erza yells as she literally punches Lucy and Happy away for safety, as she, Gray, Double, OOO, and Fourze jump up to dodge the weapons as Gaim quickly puts his two swords together and twirls his Naginata mode blocking some of the blades that fly at him. "Who's there?!" Erza questions as Lucy and Happy impact hard into two trees, Lucy hitting the back of her head while Happy is slammed into the side of his head.
"We've found you, Fairy Tail!" A female follower says as before the group are now perhaps all of Lyon's followers, all of them armed with large, curved swords.
"We won't allow you to interfere with Reitei-sama!" A male follower says.
"These guys…" Gray says.
"Lyon's followers?" Erza says.
"We're surrounded!" Lucy says who having recovered stands back up and finds more followers in front of her.
"Aye!" Happy says, his head still tilted.
"Leave them to me!" Erza says as she summons one of her magic swords.
"Erza…" Gray says.
"Go, Gray. Finish things with Lyon." Erza says.
"Don't worry! We're here too, so just go!" Lucy says as she readies her whip.
"Aye!" Happy agrees as he appears alongside Lucy, his head fixed while he wields a half-eaten fish in his paws.
"You guys…" Gray says taken back.
"You need to be the one who settles things out with your old pal. Just leave these guys to us and don't lose this time!" Gaim says as he and the Riders strike their poses, ready to engage the followers alongside the others.
Gray smiles.
Back in the Temple…
A blast of fire explodes out through a wall of ice. Natsu and Wizard stand at the ready to continue their fight against Lyon who holds his right arm out and seems angry with having to deal with them.
Back outside…
Gray runs as fast as he can towards the temple "He doesn't know that Ul is still alive. The only one who can stop him…is me!"
Back in the Temple…
"Damn, there's no end to this. Just give it up and surrender already, you pointy-eyed bastard!" Natsu says as his and Wizard's battle against Lyon has been going on for quite some time now with neither side really gaining an advantage over the other.
"Your eyes are pretty pointy themselves." Lyon retorts.
"Time to finish this off." Natsu says as he coats his right fist in fire.
"Agreed." Wizard says as he places his Flame Dragon Ring over his Belt Author. "Flame, Dragon: Bou-Bou, Bou-Bou-Bou!"
"I like the sound of that." Lyon says as cold air surrounds his body.
Just then a crack appears on the ice wall to Lyon's left/Natsu and Wizard's right as it catches their attentions and grows bigger. "What's this?" Natsu questions as a hole is blasted through the wall and Gray is seen on the other side. "Gray?" Natsu says in surprise as he, Lyon and Wizard are shocked/surprised to see him.
"Natsu, Haruto. Let me take this guy down myself." Gray says as he walks in between the two sides. "You already lost to him once, remember?" Natsu says.
"I won't this time. I'll finish this." Gray says.
"That's some confidence you have there." Lyon says.
"It was my fault that Ul died ten years ago. But...Hurting my friends...Hurting the village...Trying to melt that ice...I can't forgive you for that. I'll punish you for all of them, Lyon." Gray says as he then takes a stance, bends down a little bit and crosses his hands in front of him in the sign of an "X" with his right arm above his left. This seems to shock Lyon who seems to know what he's about to do. "That pose...Iced Shell!" Lyon says.
"Iced Shell?" Natsu and Wizard question as they then remember back to when Gray told them about this when they first encountered the demon.
"Ul cast the Iced Shell magic on this demon. It's a demon that Ul risked her life to seal away."
"Didn't you hear? Ul is already dead!" The words of Lyon comes to them as well.
The two are able to piece together what happened to Ul. "Wait a minute...that Iced Shell...does it kill the person who casts it?" Wizard says.
"You bastard...have you gone mad?" Lyon questions.
"Return the villagers to the way they were, take your friends and leave this island immediately! This is the last chance I will give you." Gray warns as a blue magic circle appears on the ground around him.
"I see...You think you can bluff me with that magic? How pointless." Lyon says not impressed.
Gray however is not bluffing. The magic circle brightens up as a tornado of cold air blasts up around Gray, the loose clothes on Natsu, Lyon, and Wizards cape blowing back from the force of the wind. "I'm serious." Gray says with a serious look and tone.
"Why you!" Lyon says as he attempts to attack Gray but seems to be blasted back by the wind.
"Gray!" Natsu yells.
"What are you doing?!" Wizard questions.
"No matter how many years pass. It won't change the fact that it's my fault Ul is dead! I have to take responsibility sometime...So now's the time. I'm prepared to die. I've been for the past ten years!" Gray yells as the intensity of the magic circle and cold air around him seems to continue to pick up.
"You're serious?!" Lyon yells in shock.
"Answer me, Lyon! Do we die together, or live together!?" Gray questions as cracks begin to form on his body.
"Do it. You don't have the guts to die. There's no way you do!" Lyon says still not believing it.
"Too bad." Gray says as he begins to cry out and prepares to cast Iced Shell to stop Lyon, even if it means his physical body is destroyed.
"Gray!" Natsu and Wizard yell.
"Natsu, Erza, everyone at Fairy Tail...It's up to you now...Sorry, but I'm making my exit. This is...the end!" Gray thinks to himself.
Q&A…
To urielv59: While that may be true, don't forget that the ability seems to be taken away from them when they're revived by Dai-Shocker...since in every battle when an Undead is brought back to life and fights against either Riders or Sentai they can be destroyed just like any monster. (Since after all that would be annoying then when the Blade Riders aren't around so...yeah.)
To bankai777: Probably not.
To dragonrider66: Sorry about that, can't really put my attention on the Fairy Tail members for a long portion of the chapter because then it's back to being just a Fairy Tail episode in a crossover story if you know what I mean. If I'm doing what I did with the summarization it's just so we see changes the Riders have to the story or something like that, like when Natsu said how they left before him and they wondered where they were. I'm just going based off of what I'm seeing on the Kamen Rider wikia which seems to not have everything sometimes, though how did I use Blizzard Ring wrong? Well...that's something that's something to be explained for another time since I will explain that eventually in the story...reckon it's kinda going to be a long way down the line but you'll understand why when I get to it.
To Matsukaze Tenma: Happy (late) Birthday! Hopefully this chapter is longer, I came up with the idea to put two episodes together into one if they are connected to one another. So for example the Changeling Episode that I will be doing will be short because it's just one episode where if two episodes are connected to each other or if it's an original I will make them long like this hopefully. It would've been longer but remember that Gray's memory take up a good portion of the episode the second part of the story is from so...yeah.
To burstroc: I could see him just like any of the other Wizards doing something but not major hurting to them, remember even the Dragon Slayer's couldn't even slay a single Dragon when they attacked only doing more hurting to them then the others. Then yeah I could see Kabuto beating Koro-sensei.
To aslan45678: If you look on my profile you'll see that I have a RWBY and Kamen Rider Crossover planned, and if I'm going to do one I will do four Riders so I can form a team of them to help the others.
