The next few minutes were more of a blur than a measurement of time.

First Lucy, Happy and Erza arrived, the latter causing Natsu to freak out. In an act of compassion, Gray had helped Lyon out of the temple; Lyon himself looked almost peaceful, as if the destruction of Deliora caused his manic obsession to fade.

"Oh yeah!" Natsu cheered as they exited the temple, "We totally finished an S-Class quest all by ourselves!"

"You're right!" Lucy said excitedly, "Do you think Master Makarov will let us onto the second floor now?"

Drake gave them a glare to silence their cheer. "Are you guys idiots? Do you forget that we basically STOLE this quest from the guildhall? That we are not qualified to do this kind of job? I'm only here to save the innocents, not to rank up because I could care less about that. The better reward is we don't get banned from Fairy Tail forever!"

"Drake's right." Erza said as she had been standing next to the Demon Hunter and saw Gay was right, Drake didn't do this for ranking up in the guild, he did it because he wanted to save innocent people. "Besides, your job is not over yet. You came to this island to help the villagers; the request was for you to return them to their original forms. This quest still isn't completed."

"But I don't understand." Lucy said, "The curse should've been lifted now that Deliora is dead."

"Wrong," Erza replied, "This curse you keep talking about never had anything to do with the demon. The villagers have been affected by the intense magical energy from the Moon Drip spell. In other words, Deliora's death isn't going to change their situation whatsoever."

"W-What? Oh no," Lucy's eyes had widened in realization as she placed a hand over her mouth in shock.

"Well, we better go and change them back." Natsu exclaimed happily.

"Aye sir!" Happy agreed as both exchanged high-fives.

"Yeah, but we don't know how," Gray said. Then, his face lit up as he got an idea. He turned to Lyon, who was leaning against a boulder behind him. He had taken off his body armor, leaving him in a blue jacket, black pants, and steel boots, "Lyon, do you know?"

"To be quite honest, I don't have a clue," Lyon answered impassively.

Natsu and Happy looked at him incredulously.

"You don't know?" asked Natsu.

"What?" Happy added in disbelief.

"Something doesn't make sense here." Drake said thoughtfully. "The villagers said that the curse started around the same time you and your posse came here."

"When we first arrived here three years ago," Lyon explained, "we were aware that there was a village somewhere on this island. But we had absolutely no reason to communicate with the villagers, so we left them alone. They never came to the temple to see what we were up to."

"In three years, you've never once met?" Erza said disbelievingly.

"I don't understand. The light from the Moon Drip is so bright you can see it practically from any point on the island. It's kinda weird they saw it every night and never went to investigate," Lucy noted, bringing up a valid point, if the trouble started, why didn't the villagers try to investigate it for themselves.

"If you ask me, there's something here that doesn't smell right." interjected Drake, pacing slightly before turning to look at Lyon, "You, what do you know about the spell and it's affects on humans?"

"The spell didn't transform the villagers." Lyon continued, "The Moon Drip has no effect on the human body."

"What?" Gray inquired dumbfounded.

"Yeah right," Natsu accused, "you're just saying that so you and your lackeys will be off the hook."

"No, he's right," cut in Drake, putting the pieces together rather quickly, but some things were still a mystery to him. Though, when he saw the incredulous and disbelieving looks from Natsu, Gray, and Happy, he decided to explain, "guys been exposed to drip for years, about as long as the villagers. And as far as I can see, he's perfectly fine."

"Yes, the Demon Slayer is correct," confirmed Lyon, "I've been exposed to it longer than they have and my appearance hasn't changed one bit."

"Oh yeah! That's true," Lucy realized, seeing the logic behind his and Drake's words.

"The villagers aren't telling us something," concluded Drake, and he was sure of it. Every time he's been around them, there was something off about them.

"I agree with the Demon Slayer," concurred Lyon, "Those villagers are hiding something, but I'm sure you Guild wizards can handle it."

"We're not done with you," Natsu stated, not wanting to let Lyon off the hook so easily, "You destroyed the entire village and-."

The Dragon Slayer's ranting was stopped when Erza squished his cheeks together.

"That's quite enough, Natsu," Erza ordered.

The Queen of the Fairies retold Toby's explanation for why they agreed to help Lyon. It was revealed that Lyon's followers had lost their families, friends, and everything they owned to Deliora. He'd convinced them that if they helped him free it, he would kill it, and obtain revenge for all of them.

Drake and the rest of the team felt for them and could understand why they did it. Nevertheless, to Drake, that still didn't justify their actions in threatening the villagers only to get vengeance upon a demon that was already locked away in a huge chunk of ice.

"They were only doing what they believed to be right. So, there's no need to criticize them for it," Erza explained. She then let go of Natsu's face, "Now, let's go."

"But what are we going to do to lift the curse?" The pink haired wizard inquired.

"I have no idea," Erza replied.

"Oh great…," Lucy muttered.

Erza, Natsu, Drake, Lucy, and Happy walked away toward the storage area, leaving only Gray and Lyon behind. The former looked at his old friend with a sympathetic look.

Lyon simply glared at him, "What do you want?"

"I know you don't want to hear it, but you really should join a Guild. You'll make new friends, make new rivals, and maybe even find a new dream to live for," Gray answered.

Lyon's expression softened a bit, but he then turned away with an angry scowl. "Whatever," he grumbled, "just get out of here!"

Gray smiled slightly as he turned and walked away.


As the group made their way towards the village, Gray remembered something. During the fight, Deliora spoke, which still shocks him, however, it's what the demon said that caught his attention.

Sparda.

"Hey, Drake?" Spoke up the Ice Wizard, speeding up slightly to walk beside the Demon Hunter.

"Mmm?" Hummed the half-demon as he glanced over to Gray out of the corner of his eye.

"During the fight, well execution, Deliora,..." recalled Gray, "it looked right at you and called you Sparda."

Drake paused midstep, looking straight ahead. it caused Gray and the others to stop and look at the Demon Hunter as Gray continued.

"Does that name mean something?" Gray asked curiously yet cautiously as he could see the name meant something big to Drake.

"Yeah... it does." Drake said with a sigh as he shoved his hands into his coat pockets and walked on with the others following. "Deliora is actually a demon from my world that somehow ended up here, perhaps in a different way to my arrival here. As for the name it called me... it has a reason to do so. The reason Deliora called me Sparda is because... Sparda is my father."

Natsu, Lucy, Happy and Gray went wide eyed while Erza looked interested. "Wait, so your father has battled demons as well?" Lucy asked.

Drake almost smirked, that was one way to put it. "Yeah . So it's basically a family business to slay demons. My father became a legend all over my world, and his name was cursed by the demons. My father and I share the same blood, so every demon I encounter can smell it and recognises me as the son of Sparda. Anyway, enough of my family history, we're almost at the village."

However, upon arriving at the village, the place was silent. There wasn't a single soul present throughout the mass of tents. Only the sounds of an owl hooting or other forest animals could be heard.

"That's weird," Happy noted, "Where is everybody? HELLO!"

"Since we're here I'm gonna grab some bandages and some medicine," Gray stated as he went inside a tent. As he was doing that, Drake began to think more on what's happening and the situation they were in. The villagers somehow get cursed into being demons, but not by a demon, but by a specific spell. However, if they didn't know where the temple was, which is highly unlikely, then why wouldn't they go investigate, why call Wizards all of a sudden?

Suddenly, a male villager with green reptilian skin, black shorts, and a tail turned the corner of a tent.

"You made it back! There's something you need to see," He yelled with an enthusiastic tone, "Please just follow me to the village."

As he said that, Drake narrowed his eyes. Something was definitely wrong with this place.

Despite this, Drake followed with his friends. However, when they arrived, something definitely changed, and by change, the entire village that had once been destroyed was now completely repaired. It looked as though it was never damaged, like how he and the others first arrived on the island. The villagers were walking around, clearly excited and perplexed how their home was suddenly fixed.

"What the hell?" muttered Drake, struck dumb.

"Are you kidding me?" an awestruck Lucy said.

Happy flew by Lucy, he too was amazed, "Yesterday it was a total mess but now it looks perfect."

"What's going on here?!" Natsu demanded, knocking his fists against a building wall, "Everything looks the same. It's like the village went back in time!"

"Now that it's fixed you probably shouldn't touch anything, okay Natsu?" Lucy suggested half-heartedly.

"Are you saying I destroy everything I touch!?" Natsu yelled.

"Well…kinda," Lucy sighed.

"Back in time..." Drake muttered, remembering the masked man that was actually a woman in disguise, saying her powers were connected to Time. Drake doubted she did this... unless she had a change of heart. He and Natsu shared a lok and Drake knew the Dragon Slayer was thinking the same as him.

The village chief, Moka, then approached the Fairy Tail Wizards. "Hmph, I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. However, I must know…," his look became more intense, "…when are you wizards finally going to destroy the moon for us?! Well!?"

Lucy started shaking in fear under the chief's glare, but she was quickly saved when Erza approached them.

"Destroying the moon is a simple task, sir," Erza answered casually.

"What?" Lucy, Happy, and Gray remarked in shock.

"You're not serious, Erza," Drake said, looking at the redheaded woman like she just said she defeated Mundus with only her pinkie.

"Don't know, but it did look like she said it with a straight face," Gray muttered.

"Aye," Happy added, "maybe she's gone crazy?"

"But before I do that I have to ask you all a few questions," Erza stated, "Would you mind calling in everybody for a meeting?"


A few moments later, having gathered all the villagers at the front of the main gate, Erza and the team stood before them.

"Let me get my facts straight, the first time everyone began to take these demonic forms is when the moon turned purple, am I correct?" Erza asked.

"Yes," answered Moka, "during the day we are fine but when the moon comes out we transform into what you see now."

"And the moon first turned purple three years ago, right?" Titania inquired, pacing side-to-side with her hands behind her back.

"Wow…has it really been that long?" a villager asked.

"Yeah," one replied, though he too sounded stunned.

"We've learned that the Moon Drip ceremony has been performed on this island every night for the last three years, and each night it produced a beam of light so brilliant that you couldn't have possibly missed it," Erza explained.

Suddenly, with a shriek, Erza stepped onto a pile of leaves and fell into a hole, which startled everyone.

"Watch your step, Erza," teased Drake as he looked down into the hole.

"Whoa…even Lucy's lame trap is back," Happy said.

"She screamed…like a girl?" Natsu whispered in awe.

"Yeah…and it was kinda cute," Gray added.

"She is a girl, you morons." Drake deadpanned at them.

"I AM SO GONNA BE DEAD MEAT WHEN SHE GETS OUT!" Lucy screamed hysterically.

Erza climbed out of the hole and stood back up, acting as if nothing ever happened. She crossed her arms over his chest armor. "Seriously, didn't you ever wonder where that light came from?" The scarlet-haired wizard asked the villagers.

Drake sighed as he got impatient with all this cryptic shit. "Bugger this, I'm gonna go destroy that damn moon."

"Wait what?!" Natsu, Lucy, Gray and Happy shouted as Erza followed the Demon Hunter along with the rest.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Erza asked him quietly.

"Yep." Drake smirked. "Got a theory and there's only one way to test it out. Besides, even if it isn't true... can't destroy the moon anyway considering how far out it is in the sky."

Drake stood on a cliff, looking up at the purple moon, Yamato in hand. Drake rolled his shoulders before he took a deep inhale then exhaled as he felt his power grow, channelling it into Yamato and activating the sword's own power and he intensified it more and more until he and the sword glowed. Drake then spun around several times until he looked like a blue to everyone watching him then with a yell, Drake sent a blue wave from the katan that sailed through the air, into the sky and struck the moon, completely obliterating it, to the delight of the village and shock of Natsu, Gray and Lucy.

However, everyone's shock was replaced by confusion as the sky cracked and shattered revealing... the moon once more. The actual moon and skin.

"The moon?" Natsu trailed off.

"It's still there?!" Moka shouted.

"It wasn't the moon that shattered," Lucy gaped, staring at the crystalline particles that rained around the island. "It was the sky."

Natsu shook his head, confused by this development. "What the heck is going on here?"

Erza smirked as she explained. "As a result of the Moon Drip spell," Erza explained with a smile, "a nauseous membrane was covering the island."

"What?" asked Natsu.

"The Moon Drip released evil energy in the form of a gas." The scarlet haired beauty answered. "That gas crystalized and formed an invisible shell in the sky that covered the island. That's why the moon looked purple here."

Suddenly, the villagers became startled as a brilliant light illuminated under their feet.

"Now that the shell is broken," Erza explained, "everything will go back to the way it was three years ago."

Then, the light vanished; however, nothing was changed. The villagers were still in their demonic forms.

"What happened? They're not transforming," Gray asked confused.

"Oh no," Happy muttered worriedly.

"That's because these are their true forms," Erza replied as she walked toward them. "The Moon Drip never had any effect on their appearance. However, it seems to have altered their memories."

"W-wait…what do you mean?" Lucy asked nervously.

"They think they're humans who have been transformed into demons, but it's the other way around." The redhead answered with a sly smile.

"So, wait, you're saying…they're really…" the blonde mage trailed off, the anxiety in her voice growing.

"Yep, you got it," Erza smiled.

Both Lucy and Happy screamed in shock while Natsu's and Gray's jaw's dropped. Drake just smirked in amusement, happy to help.

"The villagers have always been demons," Titania continued, which caused Lucy to scream even more as she fell to her knees, holding each side of her head.

"Hey is that true?!" Gray demanded, getting in the face of a villager.

"Well…maybe," the villager stuttered, "my memory's still a little hazy. We all looked pretty human when y'all met us, didn't we?"

"Yes," Erza enlightened, "because you all possess the ability to take on human forms. Your false memories led you all to believe that your temporary states were actually your true forms. In reality, you were actually victims of the Moon Drip's side-effects."

"Hold on, how come Lyon and the others weren't effected?" Lucy asked, still confused.

It was Drake that answered this time. "I assume it's because they're human. As far as I can tell demons were the only ones susceptible to the memory loss. I knew what was going on as soon as the villagers said that they couldn't go near the temple. The moon's light was sacred; thus, preachers of darkness couldn't go anywhere near it."

"I got to admit Titania," commented a demon, "you and your friend are quite the detectives. I knew I could trust you and your friends. Thanks wizards, I owe you one."

The group turned to the source and was stunned by who they saw. Lucy and Happy hugged each other tightly as they shrieked girlishly. Gray and Natsu their jaws drop again and Drake narrowed his eyes, from the sight of the purple-skinned demon that had appeared out of nowhere.

"It's the guy from the boat!" Gray exclaimed.

Moka felt his eyes tear up and his lips quiver from the sight of his son that he had presumed dead, "Bobo," he mumbled.

"Huh," a confused villager said, "but we thought you were dead!"

Bobo chuckled a little, "Getting stabbed in the chest hurt pretty bad, but you got to do more than that to kill a demon."

"But…on the boat…you just vanished into thin air," Gray mentioned, still flabbergasted from this new development.

All of a sudden, a pair of black, bat-like wings folded out from behind Bobo's shirt as he leaped into the air, hovering above them with his arms crossed.

"I sure hope you kids can forgive me for not telling you sooner," Bobo said.

"Whoa," Gray muttered, "he can fly?"

"I was the only one who didn't have any memory loss," Bobo explained, "I had to leave because everyone went nuts! I knew I was a demon, but everyone else thought that they were cursed humans." He then started laughing.

Finally, Moka couldn't take it anymore, "B-Bobo," he said. Then, a pair of wings folded out from behind his shirt as he soared into the air and wrapped his son up in a tight hug, tears rolling down his blue-skinned face.

Bobo hugged his father back, and said excitedly, "I'm so glad you snapped out of it, Pawps!"

The villagers all looked at each other and smiled widely, their memories finally returning. Similar bat-like wings appeared from their backs as they flew into the sky around Bobo and Moka, cheering in celebration of the returned Bobo.

The Fairy Tail Wizards had smiles on their faces as they watched. Drake looked at his friends. "Shall we begin going home?"

He got nods in response...


And thus ends the Galuna Island arc. I may do a small arc in between this one and the Phantom lord arc that ends up connecting with the beginning of the Phantom Lord arc. if I do a mini-arc of my own, it'll be more DMC-styled than Fairy Tail-styled, or a mix of both.

I just need ideas for it as well as Devil Arms for Drake to get throuhout the story, even ones from the games. The Devil Arms that he has currently, aside from Rebellion and Yamato is they count are:

Pandora, Lucifer and Cavaliere.

So there's still a big range and set of Devil Arms from the games to choose, all I need to do is have the demon boss from the games that became the Devil Arm or needed to be defeated to get the Devil Arm into the story and BOOM!

Like maybe Drake encounters Echidna, defeats her, then gets Gilgamesh the Devil Arm, not the demon from DMC 5.

Let me know what you think in the reviews and submit ideas there or the PM section.
