Zipping through the forest of Galuna was a blur of lavender, weaving through the fauna cautiously as well as rapidly. Seraphina grit her teeth determinedly while allowing a quick glance behind her, and she pouted upon the expected view. Small sharp shards of mirror were following her, weaving effortlessly between the trees gaining speed and continuously growing closer.

Once her feet hit the ground, she knew that running wasn't going to work anymore and scanned the area looking for any sort of clearing.

Her eyes landed on a grassy area just to the left. A grin took form on her lips and with that, she formulated a plan.

Bingo.

She slowly diminished her speed which allowed the mirrors to grow ever closer to her, and with that came the taunts from her opponent.

"Slowing down, huh?" Kaya asked mockingly, "at this rate we're going to catch up,"

Seraphina didn't respond, well just yet, she allowed herself to take a couple strides forward before pausing and looking behind with a smile, "I don't know, but I guess we'll see!"

The light mage couldn't resist a jab when it came to her, flashing a smirk she added, "and who's we? Are you so lonely that you're friends with mirrors?" She held a hand up to her mouth and giggled, "that's just sad!"

A vicious growl came from Kaya's mouth. With that, Seraphina dashed to the left just as the fragments were about to hit her. Because of her sudden movement, they weren't able to follow her and thus impaled themselves in the ground below. This move ticked off Kaya who grit her teeth in annoyance and with furrowed brows followed the lavendette out to the clearing.

Seraphina held up a peace sign and grinned, "awh, shoot, you caught up? Must be a first!"

The bluenette wasn't very intrigued whatsoever and she held up her hands cautiously, ready to cast a spell whenever.

"I would love to play around with you, but I need to beat you and make sure the moon drip ceremony is gonna be okay," she began, "and don't worry I'm not putting my guard down this time so you'll be finished pretty soon."

"Mirror Magic: Shard Charge!"

Once again dozens of small sharp pieces of mirror pointed themselves at Seraphina and rushed forward in a uniform attack. She took a breath and dodged a bunch of them, however, a couple got a bit too close for comfort,

"Flash Beam: Three!"

Her magic produced a large beam of light aimed to disperse Kaya's attack, the light met her mirrors, but oddly enough it didn't seem to push them back at all.

"Agh!"

Seraphina stepped back in a second of momentary blindness, and confusion. What happened? There was no way it was her own light as it had never affected her before, wait… mirrors, maybe they had reflected the light back on her?

She peeked open an eye and saw that the mirrors were still zooming towards her. Shoot. She jumped back weakly in an attempt to avoid them, but a couple managed to graze her, causing small incisions that drew blood. Bleh, her own blood always smelled the worst.

"Oh, I love that," the lavendette frowned as she shook her arm off before flashing a radiant smile, hands on her hips, "well, I certainly didn't expect that to happen!"

Kaya scoffed, cocky idiot, "I did. Most light wizards I've gone up against found themselves in the same predicament,"

A devious smile stretched across her face with half lidded eyes, "so truly, how do you expect to beat me if none of your attacks will affect me?"

Seraphina didn't have a response, blinking dumbly before three magic circles appeared in front of her,

"Flash Beam: Triple Threat!"

Three powerful bursts of light emitted from her circles before boosting out towards the bluenette who didn't even attempt to move. At the last moment, a large mirror appeared in front of her. She seemed to struggle to keep it up, but just as fast as the light hit the mirror it reflected right back onto Seraphina.

She boosted up quickly to avoid the attack and then pursed her lips, she had hoped that maybe overpowering the mirrors would work, but unfortunately, that wasn't going to be true. She needed to find a way to beat the mirror mage, and quickly as well, her guildmates might need help.

Kaya rolled her eyes before gesturing at the lavendette cockily, "did you really think that was gonna work? Mirrors reflect light and that's the magic you happen to use."

Seraphina smiled and twisted her hair as she thought, "yeah, I know, so trying to attack you with light really isn't going to work, huh? Also! I actually use Flash Magic, you could at least get that right, I'm hurt!"

"Whatever," she responded, "I can keep hitting you with mirrors all the same!"

"Mirror Magic: Optical Illusion!"

All around them large pieces of mirror started to form, enclosing both of them within, which confused Seraphina. Wouldn't she want to just trap her? Though just being trapped in general wasn't good, she hated feeling confined.

The lavendette smiled, continuing her nonchalant facade, "haha, I think you accidentally trapped yourself too, maybe I was right about the movie lacrima!"

"Don't worry I definitely meant to," she responded with a grin, the bluenette then snapped and immediately disappeared from Seraphina's view.

"What the…" she frowned, "yoohoo! Where did you go? And here I thought we were becoming friends…"

"This entire place is like my playground," Kaya responded, her voice seeming to echo and bounce from every corner, "I control everything you can see, and what you can't."

Seraphina immediately stiffened and was on high alert, she couldn't see her anymore and Kaya's voice seemed to come from everywhere. She held her hands up apprehensively and moved around in a circle waiting for any sign of the mirror mage.

"Right here,"

The voice came in a whisper and the barrage of attacks that came after were too fast for Seraphina to respond.

The lavendette got punched in the jaw before having her legs kicked out from under her, she quickly got up her arms supporting her before that became undone as well. Kaya then kicked the girl in the stomach causing her to fly back and hit one of the mirror walls with excessive force.

"Ugh," Seraphina groaned before coughing into her palm. The tiniest bit of blood came out and she immediately frowned staring down at the crimson liquid.

Almost reflexively she clenched her fists and rose up with a dark expression on her face, much different from her usual seemingly amicable smile.

"Well here's the thing, I will beat you, and with my Flash magic,"

A deep laugh reverberated in the mirror prison "I'd like to see you try,"

Another rush and Kaya managed to hit her once again, forcing her back. She took a breath before zipping to the side allowing her to miss an attempted attack, obvious by the loud thunk that came from Kaya hitting one of the walls.

She grinned, her time to shine, "Flash Beam!"

A hyper-fast beam of light flew forward and for a quick moment Kaya's invisibility let up and she could see the mirror mage as she got hit by her light. A look of surprise had also taken over the mirror mages features.

"What's wrong?" Seraphina asked with false concern, "I thought I couldn't hit you?"

She ended her statement with a light laugh as she cracked her knuckles, waiting for another chance to attack while thinking something over. Maybe she actually could hit her. Seraphina just noticed that Kaya didn't attack her directly with magic, rather Kaya had barraged her with physical attacks.

The lavendette grinned, that was it.

"No, you're right on that," Kaya responded, "you just got lucky."

"Lucky, huh?" Seraphina repeated with a cheeky grin, "I mean, if you said it I guess so."

However, that wasn't true while this mirror cage was up it was using Kaya's magic power, which limited Kaya from being able to attack her. Slowly Seraphina moved her arms up and formed a larger magic circle in front of her; this was the perfect time to attack.

"Flash Mob: Piercing Rays!"

Several strikes of light surrounded Seraphina, slicing all the air around her. She carefully scanned the area surrounding her making sure to observe carefully. There seemed to be no Kaya within the walls but then a flash of light revealed the bluenette, standing right in front of her.

"Shit…"

Wasting no time at all she punched her, the bluenette grunting in response and lashed back at her, but Seraphina just stepped to the side quickly; keeping her arms trained on where she had been previously.

"Flash Cannon: Full Shot!"

The huge beam of energy shot out, right on target. Kaya attempted to run out of the way but she got trapped in the lights harsh embrace.

"AGHHHH,"

All around the mirror prison started to crumble before exploding into hundreds of tiny pieces. Seraphina took a breath of relief from being free from that, and looked down at her defeated opponent.

Kaya was out cold, and hopefully, for the count, she didn't want to deal with her again. Especially because she wasn't going to be able to beat her the easier way once again.

A sharp pain then caught her attention, she looked down at her leg and saw a piece of mirror had impaled itself in her thigh.

"Ooo, that's nice," Seraphina muttered with a shake of her head, for someone so nimble she was surprisingly clumsy.

She looked down at her outfit, she was wearing jean shorts and a loose top, which now was going to become cropped. She carefully removed the glass before staring at her moderate wound. Her nose curled up at the sight of blood and it wasn't because she was actually disgusted, more so because she forced herself to be.

In a few moments, Seraphina perked up, ignoring what she had previously thought about. Besides, it wouldn't take long for the wound to fade, she healed far faster than the average person. There was also no use dwelling on wherever her thoughts were taking her, it was getting closer and closer to nighttime and the moon drip would probably be used again.

Carefully she sniffed the air around her, being chased around the entire forest kind of put her off track of the temple and village, and her sense of direction was already horrible.

So many scents were present in the forest, but soon she was able to narrow down at least the general direction the temple was in. Smiling she ran off quickly in order to make it fast, she definitely didn't want that demon being revived, no matter how fun the challenge would be it wasn't worth it.


"Okay, so is that good news or no?" Seraphina whispered in the woods not too far from the temple, focused on a particular development in front of her, what was Erza doing here?

It didn't seem like the redhead was mad, especially because she was with Gray, Lucy, and Happy without threatening to kill them, in fact, she seemed content in listening to what Gray had to say. Seraphina wondered if she should make herself known, but decided against it for the moment, Gray was telling everyone something and she didn't want to interrupt, plus she wanted to hear what he was saying.

She got closer to the path, while still remaining in the brush. Lucy and Happy were facing towards her, but she wasn't really worried about them, she doubted the blond or cat paid that much attention to their surroundings. Erza would, but she had her back turned towards the lavendette, leaving her in the clear to listen in on what Gray was saying.

"Lyon and I, we studied under the same master, her name was Ul…"

He continued to narrate his childhood story, and with that became Seraphina's first delve into the ice mage's past.

As she listened to him regale his life she came to the realization that she really didn't know what to expect… but it wasn't this. To think Gray had gone through so much harm as well, it was interesting to say the least because, at least compared to her, they had drastically different ways of dealing with their past. He kept to himself and was closed off, while Seraphina attempted to seem as open and happy as possible because then everyone assumed everything was perfect. However, they accomplished the same thing in the end, no one would ever delve any deeper into who they were.

A rustle in the leaves behind her caught Seraphina's attention and she immediately jumped to the side as fast as she could with all the foliage surrounding her. A wooden spear swept at her, and several others followed, seemingly going after her as well. She grunted and threw herself out into the open so her attackers would be forced to reveal themselves as well.

Seraphina didn't miss the looks of shock that spread on everyone's faces, and to that she smiled.

"Why hello there everyone! Wonderful day, isn't it?"

No one got a chance to respond as several people began to emerge from the woods, each brandishing their own spears and other weapons of choice.

"We won't allow you to get to the Cold Emperor!"

Seraphina rolled her eyes, they were definitely making it to the Cold Emperor, especially if a certain S-class wizard was going to help them on this quest.

"Gray, go to the temple, we'll take care of them here!"

Lucy nodded agreeing with her red-haired companion, "yeah, we got you covered!"

Seraphina looked at her oddly, she didn't know how much damage the blond would do with a whip, but she decided against questioning it.

Gray nodded and began running down the dirt path that led to the Moon Temple. Seraphina carefully observed all the cloaked people that had poured out of the woods, not a single one radiated a strong sense of magical power, and thus Erza and Lucy would have no issue taking them down.

"I'm going to go to the Temple," Seraphina declared, "Gray and Natsu might need some help, I'm sure Lyon and all of his buddies will want to finish the Moon Drip ceremony no matter what."

"All right," Erza concurred, "we'll take care of everything here."

"Aye!"

Seraphina saluted the trio before running off as fast as she could, she wanted to reach Gray before he could make it inside the temple. However, as she looked up at it she couldn't help but frown, why was it tilted sideways?

She decided that was a mystery for when she got inside, and after a couple moments in thought Seraphina began to slow down. She hadn't even realized that she was going so fast, her Flash Magic might just help her win a race one day.

"Glad to see you're back on your feet!" Seraphina said when she caught up to Gray. Although she wouldn't admit it to him out loud she had been really worried about Gray, Lyon did quite the number on him.

He regarded her a bit coldly, "he wasn't going to keep me down for long. I'm gonna take him and his stupid moon drip down."

Seraphina grimaced when she heard that, remembering what Gray had said about his past. His teacher, Ur, was still alive and Lyon was going to kill her if he carried out this crazy mission.

She couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt in her heart as she thought that over. How could someone even be that callous? To take the life of someone who had taken him in and helped him for so long… Lyon had some issues.

"You heard all of that, didn't you?" Gray asked, after noticing how uncharacteristically silent Seraphina was. She looked away sheepishly and his suspicions were confirmed. When she tumbled out of the woods he knew that she had to have been there for at least a bit.

"Yes, I did," Seraphina tried to smile but she couldn't bring herself to, for once it actually felt better to express her true feelings.

"Gray.. uh, I'm so sorry," he raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, Seraphina wasn't the sincere type in the slightest. Those four and a half words were the most serious things he ever heard her say.

Seraphina took a shaky breath before continuing, "I didn't know your past, and obviously that's something you didn't want us to know until now.. which is totally fine! But like it's super cool that you-."

She frowned, stay on topic, she thought to herself.

"But I'm sorry, you're right. I make everything a joke, and some things can't be a joke… some things are super serious, and I shouldn't have made a joke…" she sighed, "I'm sorry."

It was silent for a couple of moments and Seraphina couldn't help but feel her heart rate increase. This was supposed to be the part where he would forgive her for being stupid… and they could be friends again. He probably wasn't going to and Seraphina immediately frowned, maybe she needed to add an extra sorry in there?

"How long did it take you to come up with that?" Gray asked.

Seraphina pursed her lips and began to count on her fingers, "Definitely more than ten minutes,"

"Guess I'm going to have to forgive you then," Gray smiled softly upon seeing Seraphina instantly light up, "the passing point was nine minutes and fifty seconds,"

"Plus, I don't know what I expected, you're more of a child than Natsu,"

Seraphina grinned and felt a great wave of relief wash over her, "you know what, I can't even get mad at you because you're not wrong. Hehe, I guess being older really does make you wiser."

He smirked and Seraphina smiled genuinely, she felt a lot better now.

Gray and Seraphina continued down the path in comfortable silence before they finally reached the foot of the temple. The triangular-shaped building towered over them, with a number of stairs that should have been illegal. Seraphina couldn't help but stare at the moon icon before a newfound sense of resolve bubbled up in her, it was time to end this.

She then turned to Gray and did something impulsive she really hoped she wouldn't regret. A smile crossed her face as she snaked her arms around Gray's waist and pressed up against him. Surprisingly, he was still wearing a shirt so she was proud.

"W-what are you doing?" he asked as his face flushed red, but he didn't pull away.

"Giving you a hug silly goose!" Seraphina frowned as she pulled away from him, "it's supposed to be comforting but whatever," a couple of moments passed before she grinned, a mischievous look danced in her eye as she clenched her fist and reached up to punch Gray's shoulder.

"OW! And what was that for?" he demanded, before rubbing his shoulder. That hurt a lot more than he was expecting, Seraphina certainly could pack a punch.

"That's how I'm gonna show affection from now on, since you don't appreciate my hugs," Seraphina joked before she jumped up excitedly.

"Now come on, I can't wait to see you kick The Cold Emperors ugly butt!"

"Yeah," Gray said, "I'm gonna show him what it really means to be a member of Fairy Tail, and he's gonna regret the day he messed with Ur."

Seraphina subconsciously shivered upon hearing that… it felt dark. She studied his face while they walked throughout the temple, his jaw was set rigidly and she couldn't help but wonder… just what was he planning to do?

"Oh, hey Natsu!"

Gray had ruptured through the ice that had barricaded a certain room, allowing him to confirm his suspicion that Natsu and Lyon were inside. The two seemed to have been fighting and Lyon looked over to Seraphina and Gray with mild interest. There were three wizards now, he'd have to dispose of them quickly— as he had actual important things to get to.

"Oh it's Seraphina and Gray," Natsu grinned, "Hey guys what's up! You're just in time to see me kick his butt!"

Gray shook his head and walked inside the room with resolve. He and Lyon regarded each other, and Seraphina could practically feel the animosity oozing out of them both.

"Leave him to me," Gray declared, "I think it's time we settled things once and for all."

"No way man!" Natsu exclaimed. "You already lost to him once!"

"And it won't happen again," Gray replied, "I'm ready to end this now."

Lyon then smirked and took the chance to enter the conversation, "well, aren't you confident?"

Seraphina really didn't like how cocky his smirk seemed, and to think he had the gall to make fun of Gray. She turned to the former and bit her lip in anticipation, he definitely was confident, and once again, she couldn't help but wonder what he had in mind.

Gray shook his head as he glared at Lyon, "Honestly, you were right. I'm the one to blame for our master's death," he then spread his legs to get into a stance. "But you're no better. You've threatened my comrades. Brought harm to the villagers, and now you're trying to destroy what Ur gave her life for. It's time we accept our punishment together."

"Punishment… together?" Seraphina whispered as she furrowed her brows in confusion, just what was he going to do?

Gray then crossed his arms in front of him, and it was hard to ignore the surge of magic power that sparked within him. Seraphina frowned, he was about to attempt a really powerful spell, but what?

Lyons' eyes widened, and Seraphina had a hunch he knew exactly what Gray was about to do.

"That stance," he shouted, "not the Iced Shell!"

Iced Shell? Seraphina's frown deepened, why did that sound so familiar?

Her heart sank upon realization and she looked up to Gray, there was no way…

Iced Shell was the exact spell that Ur used to seal away Deliora. It was a spell of absolute strength, so much so that they had to bring Deliora to Galuna Island to melt it.

And it was the spell that had taken Ur's life.

"Are you insane?" Lyon demanded before shaking his head and smirking cockily. "You wouldn't dare."

"If you wanna live, change the villagers back to their human forms." Gray commanded. "And then leave this island and never return!"

A large blue magic circle appeared under Gray, a symbol of his maker magic. The world around him then began to glow the same color as magical energy surged out and surrounded him. Blue whips of energy getting bigger and bigger the longer he stayed in the stance.

"If you agree to that, I'll stop." Gray said. "If you don't, well this is the end."

"That so?" Lyon asked, still smirking. "Well, I don't believe a word of it. You're bluffing."

That magic energy surrounding Gray then exploded, icy wind blowing out making it abundantly clear he wasn't messing around. It spread out across the whole room with a sharp ferocity, whipping at the clothes and hair of even Seraphina and Lyon who were further away from Gray.

"No, I'm not." Gray affirmed, and with his actions it was hard to doubt him. Seraphina frowned and started walking closer to the ice mage. She should have been going the other way, the amount of magic energy coming off of him was dangerous, but she just couldn't.

"You'll die!" Lyon warned him, and Seraphina noticed he finally lost his cocky smirk. He raised a single hand as he attempted to use his own magic to counteract Gray's Iced Shell.

However, nothing happened, except for Lyon getting forced back. The Iced Shell was far more powerful than any spell Lyon could throw at Gray.

"Don't do it!" Natsu shouted.

"All these years I've been lying to myself." Gray said as he ignored Natsu's demands, "I didn't want to admit Ur died because of me, but she did. It's time I took responsibility. So I will here and now, I'm not afraid to die if that's what it takes."

Gray's entire body started to turn white as if he were becoming ice and his skin began to crack. Seraphina couldn't believe it but at the same time she could... he was actually going to do it.

"Stop this now!" Lyon ordered.

"What's it going to be, Lyon?" Gray demanded. "Are we going to live or are we going to die?"

"You're not brave enough to give your life!" Lyon shouted desperately. "You're nothing but a coward."

"Just watch me." Gray concluded with finality, and that was enough.

Gray shouted as his magic power grew and grew. He was so focused that he hardly noticed the demands from Natsu to stop, it didn't matter anyways, he wasn't going to. He had to go through with this, for Ur.

He set his eyes forward on Lyon, it was finally time to end this.

"ICED SH-"

Gray grunted out in shock as his legs were kicked out from under him, what the hell? He glanced around and saw Seraphina standing in front of him… and it looked like she was shaking? Her hair covered most of her face, however, as she slowly turned to face him he couldn't miss the absolute look of hurt that crossed her eyes.

He attempted to stand up but Seraphina forced him down. She pressed him back and held his shoulder against the wall before kneeling down to look him in the eye.

"Listen Gray," she began, "honestly, if you want to make this sacrifice there is nothing I can do to stop you in the end. What you do is what you'll do… but please,"

Seraphina smiled at him and loosened her iron grip, "remember you have all of your friends back at Fairy Tail. You don't have to do this, Lyon may be your fight but we'll be here to support you. We have to go back home, it won't be the same without you. Plus…" she hesitated a bit not wanting to offend him, but she felt safe to continue, "I think Ur would want you to live your life to the fullest. She sacrificed for you yes, but because she loved you, and it was out of absolute necessity. You will have no problem defeating this so-called Cold Emperor and it's time to prove it! So, don't give up. Don't let any of these monsters," she pointedly glared at Lyon for that one, "defeat you. If you die then you give them that satisfaction."

"Seraphina… I" Gray began, but he didn't know what to say.

She observed him before remembering something that was kind of important. He really was silly, huh.

Seraphina smacked Gray on the head and rolled her eyes and he immediately seethed at her.

"Geez! What is with you and hitting me every ten seconds today?"

She giggled, "sorry, but you're just a little stupid! What is the Iced Shell even going to do? We're on Galuna Island silly! With the moon drip ceremony, they'll just undo your spell and it truly will be for nothing."

Lyon clenched his jaw when he heard that. He observed Seraphina with newfound interest, she was a lot smarter than he had given her credit for, but no matter.

No one said anything for a couple of moments, but the tension in the room was very apparent. Seraphina finally stood up and held a hand out to Gray,

"Come on then! You have some butt to kick!"

He grinned and grabbed her hand, but then the entire temple began to shake. Seraphina teetered around but Gray held her arm tightly and offered some form of support so she wouldn't tumble over.

"Come on!" Natsu whined, he was annoyed, Gray was going to steal his fight for him and now the temple was acting all wonky? He needed a break. "What now?"

The temple slowly began to tilt back into shape. Seraphina frowned as she looked to Lyon, could he be doing this? There was no way, he was here with them, and Seraphina couldn't help but giggle as she noticed him starting to lose his footing. She was fine because Gray was holding on to her tightly and he had another arm holding the wall behind him, so they wouldn't fall.

Natsu on the other hand was completely miffed, and he began randomly kicking and punching around the room. He worked hard for the temple to be destroyed, why and how was it going back to normal?

"This is bad," Gray realized, "now the light is going to shine on Deliora."

Seraphina nodded vigorously and she turned to Natsu, "we have to stop them."

"You're right," the pinkette agreed, he opened his mouth to continue but someone burst into the room.

"Pardon the interruption,"

Seraphina turned her head intrigued at the new person, well people, who were now at the door. A short middle aged man who was wearing a mask and a toothy grin was followed by a much taller girl. She wore the same mask as him as well as the smile.

"I should have known." Lyon said, and Seraphina supposed it was safe to assume they knew each other. "I take it you did this."

"Indeed I did, sir," the man replied. "The moon will be out soon, so I thought I'd take the liberty of straightening out the temple for you. And my partner here made sure everything was prepared on top of the temple to begin the Moon Drip ceremony."

The "partner" then smiled lazily, "I made sure to leave an incentive there as well… the ceremony will be done soon, I didn't give dog-boy much of a choice."

Seraphina narrowed her eyes, this was just amazing. Somehow this old man managed to fix an entire temple that Natsu Dragneel destroyed. If that wasn't annoying enough the partner set up everything for the moon drip ceremony.

There was no way she was going to let Deliora be released. It would be far too dangerous, and as she looked at Gray she also knew it very painful for him.

Even more of a reason to not let that stupid demon out.

Natsu growled, "hey you! What did you do to fix the temple? And after all the trouble I went through too to mess it up!"

The man looked at Natsu for a second before he burst out into a fit of laughter. He never answered the Dragon Slayers question, which pissed him off to the max.

"Tell me how you did it, you jerk!" Natsu demanded.

The man ignored Natsu's outburst and Seraphina blinked, now that was just plain rude.

"Now that everything is in order, my partner and I shall commence the Moon Drip ceremony." He continued. "Let's go, Ember."

"Of course, sir." she replied.

Both of them began to run away, and that was apparently the final straw for Natsu. The Dragon Slayer burst into flames and roared.

"Would you quit ignoring me, you demon-eyed freak?"

Seraphina bit her lip, there were two of them. One for her, and one for Natsu. She then turned to Lyon and made sure to give him a death glare, but she knew Gray was going to have to take him.

She began to run off and saw that the middle aged man and the girl had split, one going down the left and the other going down the right side of the hall. Looking to the right she saw the girl who regarded her for a moment before turning around and sauntering away.

Seraphina frowned, she supposed ignoring possible opponents ran in the 'partnership'. She cupped her hands over her mouth and called out to her, Ember needed to know she was getting her butt kicked.

"Just so you know I'm coming over there to beat you up!"

Ember then looked to Seraphina and laughed, "and just so you know, I'm rolling my eyes."

Seraphina gasped, those were fighting words. She almost ran out of the room completely but someone called for her attention.

"Natsu, Seraphina!"

The two looked back at him curiously as well as eagerly. Seraphina really wanted to go see what the girl in the stupid mask could even do.

"Hey Gray," she began, "right now we have our own little fights to worry about,"

"Yeah, we'll just let you deal with this Cold Emperor guy." Natsu added. "It will look bad if you lose again, and not just for you…"

"Yeah, I know what you mean." Gray replied.

"But for all of Fairy Tail." He, Natsu, and Seraphina claimed in unison.

They all exchanged a grin before Natsu and Seraphina each went after their opponents. Seraphina certainly couldn't wait to catch up to the Ember girl. She would beat her up and stop that stupid moon drip from waking up stupid Deliora in that stupid cave.

Gray would defeat Lyon and Natsu would knock that weird old guy into next week. Then they'd sail on home successful— just the way things should be.
