Hey everybody, I have returned with a new chapter this time around :) So last time, the group managed to get down to the bottom of the Galuna Island case, and it turns out to be a plot by Gray's old childhood rival, Lyone, who wants to revive the demon Deliora. Now the group have all gone separate in order to do their own thing, will they manage to save Galuna Island? Who knows!

To calderoneric758: An Assassins Creed style armor? Hmm…..that sounds interesting...yes sounds interesting indeed. But Let me think it over and see if I want to use it. I might give Jaune some weapons that will remind him of hsi friends back in Remnant at some point.

To JauneArc345: Thanks, I never thought I would have Jaune gain a harem int his story as it was not the original plan….but you know, you gotta expect teh unexpected right? Lol

To NinjaFang1331: Thanks :)

To Starlord Master: Thanks. My plan is to have Jaune to..well...be up to par against Erza, but at some point might become stronger than Gidlarts himself...but that's just an idea.

To IrishKatana: Hmm...I really don't know. I know Jaune's semblance is basically not only healing but a power booster, but I'm not so sure if it can revive Ur though….

To Guest: Erza will be pared up with Jellal.

To Guest: Thank you.

To Naruto-dxd69: Thanks, but I don't have plans on adding Juvia into Jaune's harem. Juvia will just form a close sibling-like friendship with Jaune instead.

To Guest: Thanks.

To Guest: Sorry but like I/s ad, I don't plan on adding in Juvia.

To Mass0234: Soon.

To Guest: Soon.

To Larry: Thank you.

To Guest: Soon.

To Guest: I already got two more volumes to come after this. The second volume wil take place after the time-skip.

Village

Jaune had managed to make his way back to the village by some miracle. And now he was now panting and trying to catch his breath.

"Oh *huff* thank god *huff* I need to go for a jog when I get back…" He said as he then wiped a sweat down his head. When he looked up he noticed Lucy telling all the villagers about what was going on.

"The people who caused the curse are the only people who are going to attack the village!" She warned them. This caused most of the villagers to either gasp or get worried amongst themselves.

Jaune looked at all of them and felt their concern, but he knew that Fairy Tail was not going to let that ice person kill anyone. "Lucy!" Jaune called out as he ran to her. Lucy looked back and smiled.

"Jaune!" Lucy said as she ran over and hugged him. "Thank god, I was worried about you." She said as she broke the hug, she looked behind him and was confused. "Where's Natsu and Gray?"

"They're both back at the temple, I heard Gray screaming but then I saw Natsu go up the stairs, so whatever happened, Natsu can handle it." He explained. "He better still be alive…" Jaune thought with dread.

Lucy sighed in relief and then saw the worried dreadful look on Jaune's face, she gave a small smile. "Hey, don't worry, I'm sure those two are alright. And I already said that we were gonna go back alive, ok?" She said to him.

Jaune looked into her eyes to see that it was genuine. He smiled a bit before nodding his head.

"Good." She said to him. And she couldn't help herself from blushing a bit as she looked at him. "I swear...why am I feeling like this when I look at him? It's so weird!" She thought. But she then quickly shook these thoughts off, having to get back to business. "No, listen up everyone!" She said as she turned to the islanders. "I got a plan to trap them and to lock them up and tell us how they can reverse the spell on you!" She said.

This caused some of the islanders to talk amongst themselves, trying to wonder if it was even possible to do such a thing.

Jaune didn't want to put her down, but they did have a point, these people were wizards so it might be impossible to trap them all with ease. But before he could voice his concerns, Happy did it for him.

"You're right," Lucy said as she rubbed her chin with thought. "But you're the only one we got right now." She said to him.

"Uh...you do know that you're a wizard too, right Lucy?" Jaune asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yea, listen to him!" Happy exclaimed feeling betrayed at her trying to get out of this. Jaune sighed and was trying to think….what could they do to draw these wizards out? They didn't even know what kind of magic they used yet so any of the traps could be either failure or not good at all…

"Guys!" Lucy said to them. "I just had a brilliant idea!" She said with glee. Happy however got nervous and moaned sadly.

"This isn't going to be good, I just know it." He complained.

Jaune sighed. "C'mon Happy. Maybe Lucy has a good idea that might be helpful, just give her a chance." He said.

"Thank you Jaune," Lucy said with a smile. Meanwhile, Moka came to them all and asked what was going on.

"Sir, we don't have much time." Jaune said with urgency. "The enemy is going to attack any minute."

"Enemy?" Moka asked with confusion. That's when Jaune and Lucy both began to explain to him about the people who have been cursing them and that they have been hiding in the old temple deep in the jungle. But unfortunately…."I don't care about who's in the temple!" Moka said. "Why haven't you kids destroyed the moon yet?!"

Jaune raised his hands to calm the man down. "Sir, if you listen, we don't think the moon has anything to do with your curse, but I have a good idea on who might be."

But Moka didn't listen and demanded them to destroy the moon, but two villagers then came and grabbed him by the arms and dragged him away, leaving the older man to shout. Lucy and Jaune sweatdropped a bit.

"He doesn't mean any of that." One villager said to them. "He's just upset, it's been like this since Bobo died." He said. Jaune looked at the old man with a solemn look, he wondered if his own dad would react like that if he ever learned of his death back in Remnant.

"Poor man," Lucy said, then she turned back to the others. "I know how we can trap the enemy." She said with determination. The villager asked if she needed help but she then shook her head no. "I'm a great Celestial Wizard in Fairy Tail. So just leave it all to me." When the villager wanted to protest, Jaune came up and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Just leave it to Lucy, she is the best after all." He said while giving a thumbs up. Lucy faced him and smiled

"Oh stop, you're making me blush," Lucy said as she pushed him away, while she was trying to joke around, she really did blush though, especially when he touched her.

"Someone's kissing up." Happy whispered, luckily the two blonds didn't hear him.

A Few Minutes later….

Lucy had summoned Virgo and had her dig a hole at the entrance of the village, now she faced Lucy, Jaune, and Happy all together.

"Princess, I finished the task." The maid said.

Lucy smiled. "Good job Virgo, my plan is going to work perfectly."

"Well...not really." Virgo said to her, making Lucy gasp.

"What?!" she asked with horror.

"Hey, Lucy?" Happy said, getting a girl's attention. "Sorry to be rude, but I think you might be a bit stupid." He said.

"Wow, thanks for the vote of confidence." The blond girl said with sarcasm. They then turned to Jaune. "Jaune, you like my plan don't you?" She asked.

Jaune gulped nervously and looked at the hole. "Uh….well…" He said, not really knowing what to say, Lucy noticed and glared.

"Thanks, dude." She said, crossing her arms.

"Lucy, I'm not trying to dissuade you." He said. "But I honestly don't think those wizards are going to be stupid enough to fall in that hole. If it was Natsu….definatly, but I don't think those guys we saw are as foolish as Natsu."

Lucy smirked at him. "Oh Jaune," She said as she then patted him on the head, causing the blond knight to look at her weirdly. "You should understand that a pitfall trap will get them every time."

"Well, you can totally see what it is though." Happy said, and if you looked at it, you could totally see it was a pitfall.

Lucy waved him off though. "Well whatever, besides, there's only one way in the village, so someone is going to have to go over it if they want it." She said.

Jaune rubbed his head, he seriously didn't think it was going to work, but he also didn't want to start an argument so he decided to relent and allow her to proceed with her plan.

"I still don't think it's going to work." Happy whispered to him.

"I know, but let's just wait it out." Jaune said to him back. Meanwhile, everyone else began agreeing that it won't work. And Lucy glared at them.

"Fine, you can all doubt me if you want, but you just watch and see." She said to them all, making some of them sigh. A villager told Lucy that someone was approaching the gate and Lucy had him open the gate up. "Come to mama!" She said smugly. But then they all saw who was coming...they were shocked.

"Hey, guys!" A familiar pink-haired boy said to them all.

"NATSU!" They all yelled comically. Yep, it turns out that it was Natsu running right up to them and calling them out, but for some reason, he was carrying someone and...was he covered in ice? But unfortunately...he was running right for the door and into the pitfall.

"Stop Natsu!" Jaune called out to him, trying to get him to stop right where he was.

"Stay right there," Lucy pleaded. "Don't come any closer!"

Natsu looked confused, what were those guys saying? As he was about to go to them he skidded all of a sudden and stopped..right in front of the pitfall trap. This made everyone sigh with relief. "Huh?" He asked as he looked at the grass in front of him. "What's with all this grass?" He asked as he then stepped over it...and fell.

This made everyone murmur to themselves and whisper. Lucy looked petrified and Happy was worried.

"Huh, he actually fell for it." A villager said with a sweatdrop.

"I told you." Jaune said as he sighed and shook his head, leaving Lucy to send him a quick glare.

"Not funny Jaune!" She snapped at him, then turned back to the pitfall and looked upset. "It's all ruined.."

Natsu however wasn't happy. "Haha, very funny guys. But we don't have time to play any jokes right now." He said.

"Don't talk to me or Jaune," Happy said. "It was Lucy's idea."

"Mmmhmmm," Jaunes said, nodding his head. Natsu scoffed, figuring that it would be Lucy's doing.

But the blond-haired girl tried to tell him that it was not a joke and that it was supposed to be a trap, but still, they looked down and were glad to see Natsu alright.

"So are you alright?" Jaune asked.

"Yea, but Gray is out for the count though," Natsu said. "That Lyon guy did a number on him."

"Is he injured?" Jaune asked with concern.

"Nah, he didn't get hurt too bad," Natsu said that was a relief, at this point, Jaune and some villagers helped him out of the pitfall, once they did he realized something. He looked down to see that the ice he was covered in was now gone. "The ice must've smashed after I fell in!"

Lucy then smirked. "See? Told you all it would work, but you doubted me." She said as she then stuck her tongue out at Jaune, who sighed a bit.

"Sorry, Princess," Virgo said to her. "I believe that the spell that Natsu was on was actually broken after he was out of the caster's magic range." She said.

Jaune listened and was intrigued some more, so spells can be broken if out of range? Sounds cool, but it was a big disadvantage. He then noticed a villager carefully place Gray onto the ground.

"Gray…" Lucy gasped, he was hurt badly, and Jaune went over to pour some of his semblance on him. Meanwhile, Natsu was wondering why Lyon's goons didn't arrive yet. And that was something they all wanted to know.

"We know that they left the village before us, and yet we got here first." Lucy said with a finger on her chin while pondering the whole situation. "I wonder what's taking them so long."

Jaune was thinking as well, of course, he suspected that they might be planning something, so he was just keeping an eye out just in case they tried something to surprise them all. Before he could tell them his thoughts, he was interrupted by Natsu.

"Yea, and with me covered in ice and carrying Gray, I was pretty slow." He said.

Lucy Then smiled and turned to them all. "Alright everyone, let's hurray and cover that hole up again!" She said. This prompted both Natsu and Jaune to look at her like she's crazy.

"Again with the pitfall idea?" Jaune asked.

"It ain't gonna work," Natsu said. Jaune was about to tell her this until they heard someone.

"Over there!" A villager pointed into the sky, prompting the others to look where he was pointing at. To their astonishment, it was that rat thing from before, and it was carrying a bucket. But that wasn't all either, those three people that were with Lyone were on top of it.

"An aerial attack," Jaune said with anger, but still, he knew that they were going to give them a surprise attack.

"What?!" Lucy exclaimed in shock, but now my pitfall trap is pointless!"

Jaune sighed and patted her on the shoulder. "Lucy, just let it go…" He said to her, then he looked up again to see that a small blob of green jelly was dropping down. "Jelly?" He asked himself as the jelly fell and was coming right to him, but then…

"WATCH OUT!" Natsu pulled Jaune and Lucy back away from the jelly, when it landed, it created a hole in the ground, this prompted the others to go wide-eyed.

"That smell…" Natsu said as he sniffed. "I knew that stuff was dangerous!" He said.

Jaune looked up and glared at the three wizards. "I should've known...they are going to use that acid stuff and dump it all over the village, killing everyone instantly. What monsters..." Then he widened his eyes father as he saw the giant run then grab the bucket and throw it right over the town. "Crap! That rat threw the whole bucket!" He thought. "How the hell are we all going to get out of that range?"

"How are we going to protect ourselves from acid jelly?" Lucy asked, freaking out, and panicking. But Natsu had an idea.

"Jaune, Lucy, get everyone into the center of the village!" He said as he began to run. Jaune and Lucy looked back to see that Happy had picked him up and was taking him to the sky.

"What's' he doing?" Lucy asked with worry. Jaune looked to see flames on Natsu's arms and then got the idea.

"Natsu...you better be alright after this." Jaune thought, he then turned to the villagers. "You all heard him, head to the center now!" He said and the villagers all did as they were told, some of them carried Gray over as well.

Natsu, who was now getting closer to the jelly then ignited his arms. "Alright, here we go! Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame!" He yelled as he hurled fire at the jelly, causing it to explode a bit and disperse. Lyons' friends looked shocked.

"He dispersed it." Yuka said with awe.

Sherry looked shocked. "That kid's a fire wizard?" She asked with shock.

Then the jelly began to rain down all over the area, the village was getting destroyed, but all the people were standing in the center. But one man was not moving and it was Moka, who was sitting by Bobo's grave, and he and the grave got hit.

"Oh no! Chief!" A villager yelled in shock, and everyone went wide-eyes. Jaune was now trembling a bit. No...no, the chief..he couldn't...but before he could panic some more, he heard a familiar groan and out of the mist, he saw Virgo holding onto him.

"Do you wish to punish him for disobeying you?" She asked as she held onto the old demon.

"Virgo!" Lucy said with a smile, all the villagers were happy to see their chief alive.

Jaune smiled as well. "Virgo, you're awesome, you know that?" He asked. That compliment made Virgo turn away and blush a bit.

"Oh...well...thank you.." She said bashfully as she then brought Moka back to the others

Everyone now looked at the ruined remains of the village, it was all destroyed and turned into a large crater around.

"I can't believe the whole village got dissolved." One villager said. "I Was anybody hurt?" He asked. Then the mist began to disappear as Moka then saw that Bobo's grave was still standing.

"Bobo's grave is still standing!" Moka said raspy in joy, but then someone kicked the gravestone aside, making the old man gasp in shock. Natsu and Jaune suspected who it was.

"We were ordered to destroy the whole village and its people." Sherry said as she, Yuka, and Toby were walking towards them all. She then brushed her hair off her face as she turned to them all. "We were trying to show mercy by ensuring to give you all quick and painless deaths...but since it didn't work, we'll have to resort to bloodshed." She said as she, Yuka, and Toby looked at them all.

Natsu, Lucy, and Jaune narrowed her eyes at them. "You guys ready?" Jaune asked, and the others agreed as Jaune then got out his sword and shield.

Yuka sighed. "Fifty villagers and only three wizards? This should be easy, and should only take fifteen minutes." He said.

"Count again pal!" Happy said. "Because there are four wizards." He said. At that moment, Gray was beginning to wake up a bit.

Moka was now angry, those jerks had the audacity to defile his son's grave? He was furious, but before he could jump right in the fight, he was restrained by the other villagers, and despite his protests, they all began to evacuate the whole village.

"Hey," Gray said. "Don't start without me." He said to them, the other looked on.

"You came through huh?" Jaune asked.

"Yea, thanks for that by the way." Gray said to him. "You didn't have to transfer your magic energy into me you know."

Jaune simply smiled at him. "Don't worry about it." He said with his usually dorky smile.

"No," They all turned to Natsu, who was looking onward. "We don't need your help." He said.

This game everyone looked at him as if he was crazy, he didn't want Gray to help? Why? Even after Jaune fixed him up.

"What do you mean?" Gray asked. "Don't you screw with me dude. Jaune fixed me up, so I can fight now!" He said with anger. Natsu angrily turned to him.

"Listen dude, you nearly got killed last time, so just sit this one out!" He said angrily.

"Guys!" Jaune said to them. "We don't have time to argue with each other over this."

Gray nodded with Jaune. "I know, but this idi-"

BAM

Gray coughed a bit as Natsu landed a solid blow right to Gray's stomach, he could feel all that energy now fading as it was a pretty strong blow.

"As I said, just rest this one out." Natsu said to him in a soft voice.

Gray looked up at him a bit weakly. "Natsu..you...bastard-" but then he finally collapsed in Natsu's arms. Lucy and Jaune were surprised by his sudden choice of action.

"But why?" Jaune asked. "I gave him plenty enough though…"

"He's giving Gray tough love." Happy explained to him. "Natsu knows that he will be in no condition to fight and he just wanted to stop him." Happy then turned to face Jaune. "And besides, you need all the energy you will need for a fight, so I think Natsu doesn't want you to go overboard on using it."

Lucy listened to what the cat just said and turned back to face Natsu and Gray. "So deep down...they do care about each other then…" She said with awe.

"Yeah...I guess." Jaune said as the villagers then picked up Gray. "Ok, so what's the plan then?" Jaune asked. Natsu looked over at Jaune.

"Jaune, you go with Gray and the villagers." He said, making Jaune raise an eyebrow. "Just in case any of Lyon's gons try something, you need to look after them."

"But what about you guys? Jaune asked with concern.

Natsu however grinned at him. "Just leave the rest to us, and don't worry. We promised that we would go back together right?" He asked. "So don't worry about it." He said.

Jaune frowned a bit at that, of course, he knew that they were string, but still though. And Lucy...well it wasn't that she wasn't strong, but he was just really concerned for her as well.

"Jaune," Jaune turned to see Lucy, who was holding onto his hand. "We'll go back together, I promise." She said with a warm smile. Jaune looked into that face to see that it was a genuine look. He then sighed a bit.

"Ok then…" He said reluctantly. "But you all better keep the promise though." He said to them. Natsu smiled and nodded his head in agreement. And with that, Jaune and the villagers all took off, leaving Natsu and Lucy behind.

Sherry however grinned a bit. "Oh, no one is leaving, not until everyone here is dead." She said as then her rat smell. "Angelica?" The run now known as Angelica smiled and used her tail to fly, causing it to go right for the villagers, she passed the others and Lucy screamed at her.

"Leave the villagers alone!" She yelled, but then after a few minutes...her eyes winded, why? Because somehow, she was now hanging onto one of Angelica's toes. "Oh crap!" She said. "I must've got excited and grabbed on by accident!"

Natsu and Happy both looked up and were horrified and worried.

"Yep, what an idiot." Happy muttered.

"More like insane!" Natsu said with worry.

Lucy, despite being a bit scared, she was now banging on Angelica's foot, trying to get her attention. "You leave the villagers alone!" She said as she banged on the foot. "They did nothing!" the banging caused Sheery to look back, and she didn't look too bothered by it, in fact, she looked a bit annoyed.

"What's she doing?" the pink-haired girl asked. She then noticed that Lucy was now trying to tickle Angelica's toe, and this made Sherry smirk a bit. "You can try all you want, but that won't work on her….but unfortunately.

"HAHAHAHAH!" Angelica yelled loudly, turns out Sherry was wrong. The rat did in fact fall for it and was now laughing widely due to being tickled so much. She was laughing so much that it caused her tail to stop moving and she was now not flying at all while laughing….but that caused her to plummet to the ground.

"WE'RE GOING DOWN!" Sherry yelled in fright. And Lucy now realized the stupidity of her actions and was freaking out as well.

"WHY DID I DO THAT?!" She yelled as they all tumbled down into the ground.

Meanwhile, Natsu and the others saw this, and they sweatdropped a bit. Well, that didn't work at all.

"Great," Yuka said with annoyance. "Now Lyon's going to be pissed."

"Huh?" Toby asked in a hurt tone. "I didn't even do anything to you!"

Yuka sighed a bit. "Not you…"

Natsu and Happy were still looking off to where the girls landed. And got a bit worried.

"No." Natsu said determinedly. "Lucy didn't get crushed…..we all promised Jaune that we would go back together so she must still be alright.

"Let's hope." Happy muttered, but he was still concerned. He then sprouted his wings. "I'm going to go check on her." He said.

"Alright, just be careful alright?" Natsu asked, prompting the cat to nod his head and fly off ahead. Natsu then looked back. "I'm going to stay here and deal with these chumps." He said, then he then launched himself and started to attack, first he dealt with Toby, by punching and using his flames on him. He then landed on his feet and turned back to find out that Toby was saved by Yuka, who was using some kind of blue light to block the attack.

"So, a fire wizard huh?" He asked. "Don't tell me that you're the famous Salamander from Fairy Tail I've heard so much about." He said. Natsu smirked at him and turned back to Toby who was going a bit but then got up feeling all good. "You know" Yuka started. "We too were once part of a famous guild, so you shouldn't blow us off that easily." He then smirked at Natsu. "In fact, the famous Iron Rock Jura used to belong to the same guild. You heard of Lamia Scale right?"

But he didn't get the answer he expected, instead it being Natsu hurling flames at both him and Toby. Yuka rubbed the flames off and glared at Natsu.

"Stop it!" He said. "Listen to me when I am speaking to you."

But Natsu glared at him. "Why should I do that?" He asked with his arms crossed. "I could hardly give two damns what guild you guys are from. The only reason me and my friends are here is to protect the villagers and your claws are the ones hurting them all." He said to them, while also narrowing his eyes at them. "Which makes you guys enemies to the Fairy Tail Guild. And that reason is enough for me to kick your asses."

Yuka glared at him as he then looked back to Toby. "Stand back Toby," He said. "You don't have to get involved in this, I can handle him." He said to the dog man, to where the latter growled in irritation. Yuka held his hand out. "Wave!" He said as he then fired a beam right at Natsu, who then tried to fight it off, but unfortunately, he was hit and he was sent back a few ways.

Yuka smirked at him. "Guess you weren't ready for that." He said. Natsu then fired a torrent of flame at the wind user, but he then waved the fire away. "The pulsing energy coming from my hand can diffuse all magic, so that means that your spells are not effective on me."

Natsu growled silently and narrowed his eyes at the man. "So that's why my fire won't destroy his barrier then." He thought. Yuka then continued to talk to him.

"While I was in Lamia Scale I specialized in Anti-Wizard Magic." Two magic circles then appeared on his hands. "I'm sure you can finally understand why you can beat me, no matter how strong you are, wizards are powerless against me. Even you!" He then sent two blue memes at Natsu, causing the boy to quickly dodge out of the way in time.

"Oh, yeah?" Natsu said as he then jumped right at Yuka who then blessed another beam at him, but when Natsu made contact, his fire went away.

Yuka scoffed at Natsu's attempt. "I told you before, your magic has no effect on my wave attack." He said. Natsu however smirked a bit.

"Well, that doesn't mean that I'm gonna let you beat me." He said as he then used a non-flaming punch to punch through the barrier, making him smile. "Ha, I broke through!" He said mockingly, but then he felt his arm spasm and he was in pain and screamed a bit.

"You put your arm inside a vortex of my magic energy," Yuka said to him. "It's a very smart move now is it?" but then Natsu then shaved his entire body right into the vortex, this act made Yuka snap out of his cold expressions and adopt a more shocked one.

"He just shoved his whole body inside the barrier!" Toby called out with shock.

Natsu grinned inside. "Your stupid magic isn't any match for my brute strength. So what're you going to do now buddy?" He asked as he laughed like a madman.

"Look out Yuka!" Toby warned. But Yuka then tried to remain calm as he smiled and tried to go back to his cold expression.

"So what you might have been able to burst through, but now you're stuck. And your flames won't work inside."

But Natsu then smiled some more. "Maybe not here, but I sure as hell will use the outside of my body though. He said. "And you gave me a great idea." He then fired up his elbow. "Now Fire Dragon-"

Yuka was now shocked. "He's going to use his magic as a booster to increase his punch!" Yuka thought with worry and shock.

"Flame Elbow!" Natsu's fire then made his first go right at Yuka's face, causing the wave user to get punched hard and go flying back. After all of that, the boy was now down for the count. Natsu rubbed his hands and smirked. "Good," He said, and then he turned to face the now terrified Toby. "Now you..."

"Ruff?" Toby whimpered with fright.

(Eyecatch featuring Lucy resting her head on Jaune's shoulder, prompting the boy to blush a bit)

Forest Area

Jaune was walking behind the villagers after he was sent by Natsu to go with Gray, he was now walking behind and keeping an eye out for any visitors. The whole time he was walking Jaune couldn't help but feel so worried about his friends.

"I seriously hope they're all alright." He thought with worry. "Sure Natsu is pretty strong, but Lucy? I know she has spirits but she can't rely on them all the time, plus I don't know if her whip will be enough to handle some of them."

One villager was looking back and decided to go up to him.

"Mr. Arc, are you alright?" He asked. Jaune looked to see the demon.

"Oh, yea, I'm just worried as all." He said with concern. "It's just...well...I'm worried that they're go-"

"Don't even think that." The man said. "They'll be alright, from what I see, you all share a really good bond with each other, I bet they'll all be fine." Jaune looked at the man's sincerity and sighed as he looked back down.

"I hope." Jaune thought. But as they continued to walk, they all heard a rumbling in the ground. Jaune then got out Crocea Mors and got ready for a fight if necessary. Gray then stored as soon as he heard the noise.

"What the?" Gray asked as he groggily got up, he then saw that he was being carried by the villagers and saw Jaune getting ready for something. "Jaune, what's going on? Where are the others?"

"They all went off to fight some of Lyon's goons, you might want to help me out in protecting the villagers from something coming right for us." Jaune said to him. Gray sighed and got the ropes off of him.

"Natsu is going to get his ass kicked by me when this is all over and done with." He thought angrily as he then got ready. Then something emerged from the ground and saw that it was a giant Spider-Scorpion-like Monster. The monster was about the size of a Grimm Stalker, it had eight legs that were all red. The backside had a large stinger on the end, and its teeth were pointed out of the corners of its mouth, and its eyes were red

"What the hell is that?" One villager yelled out in horror and at this point, the villagers all yelled and panicked. At this point, Gray and Jaune got ready for a fight. The villagers saw this and they went far back.

"*RRROOOAAARRR*" The monster roared at the two boys. Gray scoffed and his hands froze up.

"Jaune, let's go." He said.

"Right!" Jaune said and they both went in for an attack. As the two boys ran for the monster, the monster spit out silk from its mouth onto them, prompting both boys to dodge it. Jaune tried to run to it to try to slice its legs, but the monster saw what he was doing and tried to swipe him away, Jaune blocked the attack, but it was so strong that he was sent back a few ways. Gray then jumped up.

"Ice-Make: Hammer!" He said as a hammer of ice came and slammed onto the Gapa, causing the monster to roar in pain and spit some silk at him, unfortunately, Gray was not fast enough to dodge it and so he was hit and sent to the ground.

When he landed he tried to get out of the web, but unfortunately, he couldn't budge. "Crap, I can't get out, and I can't use my magic to freeze it either!" Gray said through gritted teeth. Jaune saw this and quickly ran over to help him out.

"Hold on Gray!" Jaune called out, but unfortunately, as soon as he ran he saw the large spider try to swipe a claw at him, but Jaune was quick to block the blow with his shield and push it back and used his sword to slice off the claw, making the monster screech in pain and go back a bit.

Jaune took this time to go and help out Gray. Jaune tried to get him out of the webbing, but he had trouble trying to get him out. Jaune then got his shield to try to cut it off but it wasn't working.

"What is this stuff?" Jaune asked inwardly, but as he was trying to figure out what to do, he heard a roar to see that the large spider was coming back. "Damn, sorry Gray, I'll be back." He said as he then faced the spider again.

"*SNARL!*" The monster said as it then tried to slice down on Jaune again, but the knight was able to quickly dodge it and slice off another leg, causing it to screech even more. Jaune was also trying to figure out a way to get Gray out of that stuff.

"Ok, I can't cut it, and Gray said he can't use his magic….what else is there?" He thought. After a few, he noticed a torch dropped by one of the villagers and thought it over. "Maybe fire could do the trick?" He thought as he then ran over and grabbed the torch and hurried back over to Gray, at this point, the spider then snarled again and charged, but Jaune then swung the torch at the spider in order to scare it away, causing it to hiss and back away slowly, Jaune used this opportunity to place the torch close to Gray in order to melt out the silk, the spider laid on him.

"Sorry to put this close to you Gray," Jaune said. "But hopefully it will work." He said as he then saw the spider come at him and he then swung it back and forth while still kneeling down.

Gray saw that the silk was beginning to dissolve, and now he was now struggling to try to get it off of him. He saw Jaune slice off another leg when it got to close and struggled even more.

"C'mon you disgusting crap!" He grunted angrily as the silk was now behind to break, after a few struggles, she was finally able to bust out and rub the stuff off of him. "Ice-Make: KNUCKLES!" He sent a volley of ice fists then sprouted up and punched the spider right in the face. Jaune followed suit with him slicing off another of the spider's legs. "Jaune!" Gray said. "Together!"

"Right!" Jaune said as he and Gray both got ready. Gray placed his hands on the ground.

"Ice-Make: FLOOR!" He said and with that, the ground under the spider froze and the spider began to slip and fall. Gray then grabbed onto Jaune and both jumped up, much to the latter's horror.

When they saw that they were approaching the spider, they got ready.

"I can do this…" Jaune thought as he breathed and got his sword ready, unknown best to him, he began to pour some of his aura into his sword, making it have a light yellow aura light on it. As the two got closer they began.

"Ice-Make: BATTLE AXE!" Gray then swung a large torrent of ice at the monster.

"RAGH!" Jaune then swung his sword unleashing his yellow light blade onto it, the two attacks combined and then formed a large vortex that caused the attack to go down on the spider.

BOOM

The attacks collided into the spider and caused a massive explosion, also leaving a shockwave that blew over the trees a bit. Once the two boys had gone back on the ground. They saw the giant beast lie down dead on the ground, blood oozing out of its body.

"Well, that was easy," Gray said flexing his arms a bit, and I thought this monster would've been more of a match."

"Yeah...I guess." Jaune said, he saw what his attack did and he looked at his sword. "I did that thing again, somehow I channeled my Aura into my sword and unleashed a swinging beam...Interesting." He thought as he sheathed his sword. "I guess there are other ways to use my Aura and not just for power-boosting…"

"Hey Jaune," Gray said to him, snapping the knight out of his thoughts. "That was some nice work you did and thanks for getting me out of that crap."

"Eh, no problem right?" Jaune asked with his goofy smile. A smirking Gray nodded, but then turned back around.

"Well, we might as well go catch up with the villagers, and make sure they're alright." He said, and before he could go, he was stopped by Jaune.

"So...are you not mad at Natsu anymore for knocking you out?" He asked.

Gray sighed. "Oh, I'm still mad, and I want to kick his fire-breathing ass back to the guild...but he has this, besides, we might as well keep the villagers safe, you're still in training with Erza so…"

"Good point." Jaune said as he and Gray then ran off to find the villagers. Meanwhile, a short man wearing a tribal mask was in the woods smiling.

"Hmmm….the Arc boy is interesting after all." He thought with a grin. And then he had vanished.


So that is that for this one folks, next time we will see the fight between Lucy and Sherry and Erza come to the Island….that doesn't sound good for our heroes. Will Lucy take down Sherry? Will Erza force them all back to the Guild? Tune in next time and find out.

If you're all wondering the whole spider creature Jaune and Gray fought was an original piece for the story. The spider is supposed to resemble Naraku's spider form from the opening of the second Inuyasha movie. I didn't want to hold the two of them out till the confrontation with Erza. Which will come in the next chapter

To those of you wondering why Jaune is so worried, remember. He already lost Pyrrha and he didn't want to lose anyone else. He also died and basically got transported to another world with no possible way to go home ever again, and while he knws they're strong, he just can't help but worry aobut them constantly. Don't worry, he will open up about these feelings at some point after Phantom Lord. I might have Jaunr reveal himself to the others about his past at some point after the Tower of Heaven.

Anyways, please don't forget to read and review, I'm always happy to hear from you all and to answer any questions you might have for me.

See you all next time :)
