On with the story
Morning
Galuna Island
The sun was shining as it shines to a crescent shaped island
Natsu and Gray were now at Galuna island as they had left their boat at the beach and were now walking to where the client was
"any scent on her?" Gray asked while walking behind Natsu
Natsu sniffed the area and widen his eye in surprised
"it's faint, but she's been here or is here" Natsu replied while looking around as he sniffs the air again
"Are you sure!?" Gray exclaimed to him
Natsu nodded as he then pointed towards an old looking temple by a mountain
"some of it are coming from that place"
Gray look to where he was pointing and saw it
He then looks back at Natsu who had a hopeful face
"Natsu" Gray said as Natsu turned around to look at him
"we need to check on the client first then we can go find her" Gray said to which Natsu looks at the mountain again before to Gray as he nodded to him
Gray smiled to him as he and Natsu started walking again to where the client's location
In the sea
On a pirate ship
Lucy and Erza were on a pirate ship that belongs to a pirate captain who was an acquaintance with Erza
"we'll be there in six hours top, Big Sis Erza" the pirate captain said while steering the ship
Erza nodded
"Sorry for troubling you, Gally" she said to the captain
The Captain or the so called Gally shook his head with a smile
"if its for Big Sis Erza, me and my crew would gladly lend a hand" he replied then turn back to steer the ship
Erza smiled as she then walks down the board to see Lucy as she was looking at the front part of the ship
She walks to her as she pulled out a telescope and looks towards and saw a little island coming into view
"after all of this, they will face Master's judgement for they have violated a rule." Erza said that made Lucy scared a bit as a dark aura surrounds Erza
"I-I-Isn't that a bit harsh?" Lucy stuttered asked
"even if this is to find someone, rules are rules" Erza replied
Lucy creeps away from Erza a bit
She then recomposes herself as she looks forward
"I know that Natsu's just trying to find his wife and all, but did he really had to drag Gray along?" Lucy asked to Erza
Erza puts down the Telescope as her eyes looks at Lucy
"Love can make a person do the craziest things, Lucy" Erza replied
"Natsu's heart must've been filled with sadness and pain ever since this Ultear left him"
Lucy looks sad a bit as she looks forward and saw a little island
""hope you guys find her"" Lucy said in her mind for Natsu and Gray
Night
Back at the island
Natsu and Gray were walking on a path as they've been walking around trying to find the client's home
"man! Where the hell is the client's village!?" Gray said while holding the request paper for the quest
Natsu shrugs as he looks around the area
He then heard a giant mouse like squeak as he turns around and saw a giant furry creature
Gray saw Natsu stopping and turned around to see what he was looking at and let out a gasped of surprise
"What the heck is that!?" Gray exclaimed in shock
The shadow revealed a giant mouse/ rat as it was wearing a maid like outfit
It let out a squeak to Natsu and Gray as its eyes were glowing
"a giant rat!?" Gray exclaimed in surprised while Natsu just squinted his eye
It then walks towards Natsu and Gray before stopping as its eyes had fear in them
Behind Natsu was a fiery red aura that had a red dragon appeared as it growls at the giant rat
The giant rat let out a terrified squeak as it tried to back off but it was petrified to the spot
Natsu walks forward a bit while raising up a hand
"Boo" Natsu simply said as the giant rat fainted while having a terrified face on
Natsu then scoffs as he then turns back around to walk away
"waste of my time" He said as he passes Gray who had his jaws drop
"Let's go" Natsu said to Gray who snapped out and followed him
They then continued to find the village and were now in front of a giant wooden gate that had a sign that said Keep Out
"we're here. but what's with the "Keep Out" sign?" Gray asked while looking at the sign
Natsu then looks around while sniffing the area
He clicks his tongue while letting out an annoyed growl
"that stupid rat's stinking smell messed up my nose" Natsu growled as he then bangs the wooden gate really hard as three giant knocks was heard
"OPEN UP!" Natsu suddenly shouted as Gray got surprised to it
"easy man, no need to get all shouty" Gray said to try calm him down
two people then appeared above the gate while holding spears in their hands
"Who's there?" a man said to Natsu and Gray
"we're from Fairy Tail!" Gray shouted in reply
"we're here for the quest from a man called Moka!"
"Eh?" the man said in surprise
"we didn't know that someone accepted our request!"
"there's must've been a problem that must've delayed the message!" Gray replied
The two men then look at each other before looking back at Natsu and Gray
"show us your marks!" the man demanded
Gray lifts up his shirt revealing a dark blue coloured Fairy Tail's guild mark on his chest while Natsu lifts up his right sleeve revealing a dark purplish coloured Fairy Tail mark on his right shoulder
"they're real! They've really came!" the two gate guards exclaimed in joy as the wooden gates were raised up as Natsu and Gray walks in
They saw that all of the villagers were wearing cloaks as one short old man holding a staff welcomed Natsu and Gray
"thank you very much for accepting our quest, members of Fairy Tail" the man said while bowing a bit
"I'm Moka, the client of the quest" The man introduces himself
"I'm Gray and he's Natsu" Gray introduces himself and to Natsu who was sniffing the air before getting a frown on his face
"nothing?" Gray asked in a low voice
Natsu shook his head
"is something the matter?" Moka asked to them
Gray shook his head "Nothing" Gray replied while holding up his hands to Moka
"anyway, can you tell us what's your situation?"
"well, for starters.." Moka said as he looks to his people in the village
"everyone!"
The villagers strip themselves of their cloaks revealing themselves as Gray gasped in shock as he saw that everyone had demonic like parts on their body
Moka then started explaining their situation to them while crying as the moon appeared while glowing purple and the villagers transformed into demons. Moka showed them a picture of Bobo who he presumably stated was killed by his own hands
"please! Please destroy the moon!" Moka begged them while kneeling down in tears
Gray looks in shock while Natsu looks at the violet moon with squinted eyes
"we will deal with it" Natsu said while looking at Moka whose eyes widen while in tears
"and also, we would like to ask all of you something" Natsu then takes out his locket and opened it
"have any of you seen this woman?" he asked them as Moka looks at the picture
"can't say that I have" Moka replied while looking at the picture
But one of the villager's woman looks surprised to the picture
"I've seen a woman like that!" the woman said and Natsu looks at her
"where!?" Natsu exclaimed to her
"a few days ago, by the river stream near the village east of here" the woman replied while pointing to the Village's east side
"I was taking some clothes to get them clean and suddenly saw a purple haired woman walking near the river and went into the woods, I followed her but she vanished"
Natsu then closes his locket and started to walk away
"Hey Natsu" Gray called out to him
"I'm heading to that river stream, if I'm lucky I might find her there" Natsu then jumps up to the gate and started running towards the river as his high sense of hearing can hear the flowing river water
"wait!" Gray shouted but It didn't reach Natsu as he was already gone
Gray then sighs while looking back at Moka
"sorry about that" Gray said to Moka who nodded in understanding
"I believe that woman is someone precious to that young man?" Moka asked
Gray nodded as he looks to where Natsu had went off to
"well then, please come with me. I will show you the place you'll be staying at" Moka said while motioning Gray to follow him
""I hope she's there"" Gray said in his mind as he then followed Moka who was leading him to the guest house
with Natsu
he was walking the path leading to the river stream as he found it
Natsu then started sniffing the area while looking at the ground for any tracks
He growled in annoyance when he found nothing
Natsu sat down by a giant stone plate as he runs his hand to his hair
"why can't I find you, Ultear?" Natsu said while looking sad and annoyed at the same time
He then takes out his locket and opens it
"were those words really just a bunch of lies?" Natsu's fingers caressed the picture of Ultear softly as he then closes his eye
Flashback Scene
Natsu and Ultear were sitting by a river stream as they enjoyed the cool water floating near their legs
Natsu picks up a flower and placed it on Ultear's ear as she caressed the flower
She smiled and connected her lips with Natsu's
They then separated as Ultear leans her forehead to Natsu's
"I love you"
Natsu smiles and then gives her another kiss
End Flashback
Natsu re-opens his eyes as he then stands up from his seat and started walking back to the village
But unknown to him, a figure was hiding behind a tree as it was holding its mouth trying to stop some sobbing
"Natsu"
Back with Gray
Gray was laying down on a straw bed as he was looking up at the ceiling
"wonder If Erza and the others found about our quest?" Gray said while looking at the ceiling
Not to soon, Natsu came in to the room with a sad face
Gray sat up and looks at him
"she's not there?" Gray asked him with a frown
Natsu shook his head as he lays down on the other straw bed
Gray had a sympathetically face to Natsu as the latter had a sad and depressed aura around him
"look, just because she's not there. Doesn't mean that she's not here at all. Don't give up" Gray tried to cheer up Natsu who was trying not to cry
"tomorrow morning, let's go to the temple there and find some clues to the Village's situation and maybe just maybe we could even find her there as well" Gray said while looking at a temple by the mountain
"how's that?" Gray asked to Natsu who nodded while still laying down on his bed
Gray smiled a bit to him as he then laid back down
"well, good night. We got a big day ahead of us" Gray said while turning to the left side and closes his eyes
"yeah" Natsu replied while also closing his eyes as well
Natsu then heard a soft sad voice talking from far away
"Natsu"
Natsu quickly sat up as he looks around for the voice
He only saw some desks and an already asleep Gray.
Natsu then looks down to his hand "what was that just now?" he asked as he then laid back down to his bed and re-closes his eyes
""where are you, Ultear?""
Natsu then went off to dreamland as his light snores can be heard
At the temple
A woman was holding onto a pillar while crying
"why? Why are you here!?" the woman shouted in tears before hearing footsteps coming
She quickly wipes her tears and put on a mask as she transforms into a man
"Zalty, you were here" a man wearing a demon like helmet appeared with a dog face like man and a short boy with blue hair
"what -cough- what is the matter, Reitei-sama?" Zalty asked him
"the preparation for Moon drip is about to begin and you wonder off" Reitei said while looking at Zalty
"please forgive me, Reitei-sama" Zalty said while bowing his head to him
"I was just getting some fresh air seeing that down there it's a tad cold, it won't happen again"
Reitei nodded his head as he turns around with the other two guys leaving Zalty there
Zalty then frowns as he looks at the village
"please leave this place, Natsu" Zalty said as he walks into a cave
In the cave was a huge demon like creature encased in ice as cold air flowed within the cave system
"just a bit more, just a bit more and I'll be able to surpass you…." Reitei said while grinning
"Ur"
Zalty looks at the ice encased demon as he frowns a bit to it with a tinge of sadness in his face
""Mother""
That's a wrap
Bye bye
