Part Two in the massive update! Sorry the chapter's are kinda short, but I'm planning on making the chapters for the Phantom Lord Arc at least 3,000 words apiece.

I don't own Fairy Tail, or the Black Keys, or the White Keys. Fairy Tail belongs to whoever the hell wrote it, the Black Keys threatened to disembowel me if I didn't tell you that they belong to fairytailcrossover, and the White Keys get pretty pissed if I don't tell you that they're from various anime.

Moka took a breath before repeating what he had already told Kage and I.

"Please excuse me for asking," Gray started. "But what makes you think that it's a curse sir? It could be some kind of infectious disease." I shook my head at his explanation, already knowing the answer.

"We've consulted with dozens of doctors young man," Moka stated dejectedly. "But they all agree that no such disease exists. You see our symptoms began around the same time the moon fell under an evil spell."

"What kind of spell?" Lucy asked.

"Since ancient times this island has absorbed the light of the moon, causing it to glow almost as beautifully as the moon itself. However, several years ago, the moon's color began to change, and a eerie purple glow was cast upon the island." Moka explained as I closed my eyes in thought.

"So the moon turned purple?" Natsu asked.

Happy gasped, causing my eyes to fly open. "It's coming out from behind the clouds." He said, slightly scared. I looked up, and sure enough the moon was peaking out from behind the clouds, casting an unnatural purple light around us.

"Oh wow," Lucy whispered. "It really is purple."

"Man that's creepy lookin." Gray commented.

"I've never seen anything like it..." Kage stated, looking up at the phenomenon with appraising eyes.

"It's the curse..." Moka moaned. "Stand back, the change is about to begin!" I stepped away from him, as the villagers started to scream in pain.

"Whoa!" Lucy said, jerking back in shock. "What the?!"

One by one, each of the villagers began to transform, changing into what I, Kage, and Dante knew was their true forms.

"They're changing." Gray said, looking like he was going to run at the slightest threat.

"Yeah, I see that!" Lucy yelled back.

"Why is this happening to them?" Natsu asked, not taking his eyes off the villagers.

After a few minutes, they had finally completed the transformations, and had relaxed again. "I'm sorry if out appearance frightens you." Moka apologized.

"I've seen worse Moka." I said, examining him. Moka had taken on the form of a purple demon with black spots and interesting horns.

"It's alright." Gray said, looking slightly gob smacked. "I'm just completely confused."

"You poor people." Lucy said, putting a hand to her chin as she raised an eyebrow.

"Oh man," Natsu said, before his eyes lit up. "You guys look so COOL!"

Everyone went silent as Kage, Dante, and I face palmed.

"Natsu." I said, interrupting what I knew was probably going to be a rant on how awesome they looked. "Focus on the Job." I said, glaring at him.

"Anyway," Moka continued. "As you have witnessed whenever the purple moon shows his face in the sky, everyone in the village takes on a horrific demon form." A couple of the villagers started to cry. 'If it isn't a curse, then what else could it possibly be?! We'll return to normal once the morning comes and the sun has risen, however there are some poor souls that can not switch back to their human forms, for they have lost their minds. The fate for them, these unfortunate souls in the grip of madness, we've no choice but to put them to death."

The other's gasped in horror as I looked down in sad regret. "But they might change back to normal someday!" Natsu said.

Moka closed his eyes in regret. "If we wait for that to happen the monsters will surely kill us all. We've tried capturing them, but they always broke free. It's no use." Tears started to fall from his eyes as he pulled out a photo with shaking hands. "Once it takes hold there is no way to save them." His voice shook and cracked as he spoke. "I should know. I was forced to kill my very own son..."

The others caught sight of the photo, and gasped in recognition. "That's the guy," Lucy said. "From the boat! But we just saw him yesterday he-"

Gray cut her off. "Now I understand why he disappeared on us like that." He said, starting to sweat a little. "He's dead, but his soul can't rest in peace." Lucy looked horrified.

"Please lift the evil curse from our island." Moka begged, bowing to me. "If this goes on much longer, we may all fall victim to it. We'll die!"

"We're not gonna let that happen!" Natsu said angrily. "We can fix this, I promise."

"There's only one way this retched curse cam be lifted." Moka said. "The moon must be wiped from the sky!"

"The moon is not the cause of the curse." I said as Kage, Dante, and I lounged in our room that night.

Kage looked over at me. "How can you be sure?" he asked.

"Think about it." I said. "The Islanders are actually Nature Demons." I explained, moving to the bathroom and shutting the door so I could get changed for the night. "I know that for certain from my family's journal."

"But they all looked and acted like normal humans." Kage countered, no doubt changing as well. "They seem to think that they are normal humans."

"That's the thing." I continued, walking out in my old white tank top, and my pale blue pajama pants. "I'm not sure that the curse is what they say it is."

Kage looked deep in thought as he laid down on his cot. "You think that they might be cursed to think that they're human?" He asked, looking over at me.

"That's exactly what I'm thinking." I said, laying down on my cot on the opposite side of the room. Dante walked over to me and settled down beside me for the night. "Maybe whatever's happening here... wasn't actually supposed to affect the villagers at all..."

"That's a big assumption." Dante commented, yawning as he snuggled into my neck.

"Yeah..." I said, trailing off as I nodded off.

The next day dawned bright and clear, with beautiful blue skies as far as the eye could see.

"It's so early." Natsu said, yawning.

"Yeah, I'm never up at this time." Gray agreed.

"You two kept me up all night, and I'm not complaining!" Lucy snapped.

"Stop whining." I said, walking up to the two of them with Kage. The two of us had risen with the sun that morning, unable to sleep any longer thanks to our magic. "It's time to get moving," I said, starting to walk into the jungle. "We need to find the source of the dark magic before night falls again." I looked over my shoulder at them. "We're on a strick time limit guys, so we're going to have to split up. Natsu, Happy, Gray, Lucy, you guys are one group, and you'll search the north half of the island. The rest of us will take the south half. Natsu," I said, turning to my brother, "Let off a Roar if you find anything."

"Right." They said.

We separated, Kage, Dante and I crossing over the river, as the others wandered into the forest.

Closing my eyes, I let my senses branch out, feeling through the aura of the island for the source of the dark magic as Kage and Dante watched my back. My eyes shot open as I felt something malicious brush up against me.

"To the north." I said, coming back to myself while keeping my senses locked on the source. "That's where it's anchored." I leapt to my feet, whirling around in the direction we needed to go. I looked up at the sky, seeing the sun directly overhead. "How long was I under?" I asked Dante.

"About two hours. It's almost noon." He informed. Dante and I had worked out a long time ago how to unconsciously detect the time with out magic.

"We need to move then." I said, grabbing Kage's arm as Dante leapt onto my shoulder. "Do you get motion sickness?" I asked him.

He shook his head, confused as I smirked. "Well, you're about too!" I flashed him a smile as we started to glow. "Star Sprint!"
