Happy: welp looks like break time is over

Gray: yep, it's time to get to work

Me: I can't. I can't. Maybe I'll go back to the jokes.

Wait are you serious" Elfman asked Mira. The two were standing in the cafe. Mira was behind the counter, wiping it off as she nodded. "Mystogen had found the job flyer on his way back, and he asked Mavis about it, to which she said to give it to Natsu."

"Okay," Elman said as he looked around, "but why did you tell Lucy it was an S-class job."

Mira let out another sigh as she turned to face her brother, "we did that in order not to worry her," Mira told him, "for we know it could be higher."

"you mean an" Elfman stopped when Mira nodded, "so why, Natsu?"

"I don't know," Mira answered as she started to put away the towel. "I don't know."

Galuna: the Cursed Island

In the pictures of the port town of hargeon, Natsu and Lucy walked down the boardwalk while Lucy was smiling, "woah, this brings back memories," she said, smiling "it seems like only yesterday we had met for the first time."

Natsu groaned as he followed the bond girl "it practically was yesterday, so no need to get all gushy."

"You sound Like an old lady Lucy," Happy said under his breath.

"shut up!" Lucy shouted; she turned around and started to walk away "now, let's find a boat."

"are you crazy" Natsu shouted, "why a boat can't we just swim there?"

"And you call me crazy," Lucy told the dragon slayer.

Natsu Lucy asked around finding sailor s and fishermen, but each one turned them down, "the island is cursed; you don't want to go there," all the sailors told them.

"it's bad luck even to mention its name," another said

As Natsu and Lucy looked, they found a small boat but and walked up to it, "excuse me, sir," Lucy asked, catching the man's attention. He was a dark-skinned man with black hair, black eyes, and a mustache; he wore a light green cape wrapped around his chin and a white T-shirt. He also wears dark pants, which are held up by a pink rope tied around his stomach, functioning as a belt, and dark boots.

"I was wondering if you can take us to Galuna Island?"

the man looked up and shook his head. "I'm sorry, kids, but I doubt anyone will take you there," he told Lucy

It looks like we're swimming," Nasu shouted with glee

"we're not swimming, Natsu," Lucy shouted,

"there you are," a voice shouted

the pair turned back and noticed it was Gray, and for once, he was wearing clothes. "I heard you two are going on a job."

"Yeah, so" Natsu

"Well, I came to help you out," Gray said, walking up to Natsu.

"Sorry, we don't need it," Natsu said, shocking Gray and Lucy.

"Oh come on, Natsu, be nice, " Lucy said, trying to stop the two from fighting, but she was already too late as the two were already bumping heads.

"what you say, flame brain."

"I said we don't need you and your lame-ass magic."

"oh yeah, well, bring it" Gray formed a clump of ice on hand while Natsu's hand ignited with fire; this shocked the sailor.

"wait are wizards," he asked, causing the two to stop, much to Lucy's relief, "are you trying to lift the curse."

"yeah," they answered, and the man smiled

"Get in," he said, motioning to his boat

"Really" they all shouted

before Gray, however, could react, Natsu knocked him out, "All alright, let's go.

"Natsu!" Lucy shouted, we couldn't just leave him here."

"he's going to have to come too."

"but Lucy."

"Come on, a little help never hurt anyone," Lucy told him "this lone wolf attitude really needs to stop" Natsu just let out a sigh before picking Gray up "fine, let's go."

Miles away, Natsu had already succumbed to his motion sickness and was currently hanging over the boat. Gray was currently glaring at him while Lucy was shaking.

Gray turned and looked at the sailor, "hey, if you don't mind me asking, why'd you change your mind."

"My name is Bobo," the man answered "years ago, I use to live on the Island. However, I had to leave" he turned and started to remove his cape "because of the curse" he showed his arm, which was deformed "be warned tragedy befalls anyone who steps n the Island."

"is that really the curse," Lucy asked, shaking.

Bobo looked up and smiled "we're almost there," Lucy, Gray, and Happy all looked towards the Island.

Lucy looked closer and saw the glowing mountaintop "that's weird; why is the mountaintop glowing like that."

Lucy turned to see that bobo was missing, which shocked her "what the where'd he go," Lucy asked.

"Did he fall out," Gray asked as they started to look around

"it's like he just disappeared" the water then began to pick up as a large wave started to pick the small boat up, "was that Lucy asked, confused as to what was happening.

Gray turned around t see the ginormous wave about to consume them "um, Lucy."

What is know gray" Lucy's eyes widen in shock as the large wave came and was about to tip the boat over. "Damn it."

"Hold on," Gray shouted as the wave flew over them, sinking the boat and Natsu in the process.

Lucy felt like a train hit her; she was just glad she woke up as she stood. She felt the crunch of sand under her feet "did we make it" she looked around and saw Natsu, Gray, and Happy all knocked out on the ground.

"man, lucky that wave washed us to shore."

"I wouldn't call it luck."

"where'd that guy go," Natsu asked, standing up.

"I don't know," Lucy answered, "after he told us about the curse, he just vanished."

Natsu looked around "well, we can't just stand here. Let's get moving and have a look around.

"Lucy took out the flyer from her back pocket and looked it over "hmm, man, this looks old," Lucy said, "but from what I can tell, there's only one village on the island, and the village chief put in the request."

"Well, let's get moving," Nasu said before turning to Gray," you coming."

"I thought you didn't need my help," Gray said with a smug look on his face.

"Whatever, just come on," Natsu said in a begrudging voice "besides, if we can pull this off solo, wizards will hit the map."

this got a smirk off Lucy and Gray "well, in that case, let's go."

After walking all day, the group had found the village; a big gate protected it with a keep-out sign hung out on the front.

"Anybody home," Lucy shouted, "We came to help you."

"We should just bust in," Natsu said, smirking.

"NO way!" Lucy shouted

"Who goes there" a voice called out

the group look up to see to people who were covered from head o toe looking at them. "Were wizards from Magnolia," Lucy shouted, "We came because of the job request."

the pair look at each other before walking back; soon, the gate opened, showing a shorter man; he walked out and looked at the group "our pleas have been answered at last," he said, "please come in."

Natsu and Lucy gave each other a weird look before walking into the village.

"I'm Moka, the village chief. Before we continue, there's something you need to see" he turned to the villagers and nodded before each of them started to remove their robes, revealing disfigured arms legs, and a few of them even had horns sticking from their heads.

"just like that guy on the boat, "Gray whispered.

'not to mention these guys sideburns,' Natsu thought to himself.

"Everyone on the Island has suffered from a type of disfigurement due to the curse."

"excuse me from asking," Gray said, walking up to Moka, "but what makes you think it's a curse and not an infectious disease.

"we've consulted with plenty of doctors, and there is, in fact, no such disease in existence."

"This all began after the moon fell under an evil spell."

What kind of spell" Lucy questioned

"for you saw, several years ago the moon color changed to and covered the Island in an ere purple glow" as if on cue, the moon then appeared from beneath the clouds this caused the villager to all began to scream as the body began to change some spotted wings from there backs and some grew beaks and horns.

"I'm sorry if our appearance frightens you," Moka told them.

"it's okay; I'm just confused, " Gray told the man.

"Why is this happening" Natsu asked

Moka nodded "this happens every time the purple moons glow hits us," Moka said, bowing his head "unfortunately, there are some when the sun rises who no longer can revert to their human form," he tells them, "so we have no choice but to put them out of there misery."

"but what if they were to change back to normal."

Moka nodded; we thought of this, but we couldn't hold them. They would always break out," he said as he held out a picture. "I was even forced to kill my own son," surprisingly; the picture was of bobo, the man who had brought them to the Island.

"wait isn't that" Gray jabbed Lucy and the side And pulled her up to him, "I think that we should keep that to ourselves," Gray told her.

"huh, why," Lucy asked.

"Cause he's maybe dead, but his spirit still lives on," Gray explained, "which why when we got here, his spirit disappeared."

"please left the evil curse on our Island," Moka asked, bowing his head.

"Okay, what do you need us to do," Natsu asked, "we fix this, I promise."

Moak looked up, tears flowing in his eye "there's only one way to fix this; the moon needs to be wiped from the sky."

Later that night, Natsu, Gray, Lucy, and Happy stayed in one of the village's huts.

"I never thought that the moon could be so creepy," Happy said while staring out the window.

"hurry up and close the window, Happy," Lucy shouted, "you heard what the chief said; you might not care, but I don't want to turn into a freak."

"I'm not too sure about this job, guys," Natsu said while sitting on a couch.

"do they really think we can destroy the moon," Gray asked?

"I don't know," Natsu said, standing up. "I wonder how many punches it would take"

"I don't think there's a wizard on the planet strong enough to pull that off, Natsu."

"well, then what else can we do."

"We should look around," Lucy said, rubbing her chin, "there may be some other way to lift the curse."

"Alright then, let's get some sleep and set out first thing in the morning," Natsu shouted as he jumped onto his sleeping bag.

"Aye"

"I'm right there with ya," Gray said as he landed on his own sleeping bag.

Lucy let out a sigh before laying on her sleeping bag as well.

A few hours later, Lucy woke up to both Natsu and Gray's loud snoring ' how in the hell am I suppose t sleep with the beat and the pervert, both sawing logs like this.

The next day Lucy and the others were walking through the forest "do you really think we'll be able to lift the curse."

"We have to find another way, I mean, even though the villagers think it's cursed, but everyone else like the moon, and besides, who knows what would happen if it were destroyed.

"I hate to admit this, but you're right; without the moon, the tides would get messed up," Natsu said, agreeing with Gray.

"and salmon would go extinct, and that's my favorite fish," Happy added.

"would you guys keep it down? We don,t know what's lurking out there, so we don,t want to draw any attention, the lady demands impatiently" the two looked back to see Lucy inside of Horologium.

"You should walk on your own for once," Natsu tells her.

"You summon your spirits just because your Lazy," Gray tells her, "come on."

"Look, this whole curse thing is really starting to freak me out, she says nervously."

"come on, this quest rules," Natsu shouted.

"I'm pretty sure I can freeze that curse," Gray said

"You guys are idiots she retorts disparagingly" Horologium.

"Aye"

A Rumble is then heard through the jungle. Horologium looks back to see a large figure looking down at him, and Lucy Gray and Natsu also turn to see it and let out a scream.

"Don't just and there do something she yells frantically."

##[Gray's theme]##

"I got this" {ice make: wall} a large sheet of Ice cover Gray and the other as the monster shouts what appears to be a type of breath attack, which causes Natsu and Gray to gag.

"What's going on" Lucy shouts from inside Horologium; she looks down to see Happy inside, "and did you really sneak in here."

Aye says the little blue" Horologium stops and lets out a cough, which causes him to disappear, exposing Lucy and Happy to the stinky air.

Once it clear, Natsu is passed out on the floor "come on, man gets up," Gray shouts.

"that breath knocked him out cold," Happy tells the Ice wizard.

"stand back" Gray slams his fist to his palm and begins another {ice spell, "Ice make: floor}" a whole sheet of ice covers the floor, which causes the giant rat monster to sleep and fall.

Natsu stands up, recovering from the stinky air "next time, just do that from the start."

"Oh, shut up," Gray tells him.

Lucy looks around and sees a temple with a moon symbol on it "come while we have a chance, let's hide in there, " she shouts as she turns back only to see that Natsu and Gray have started attacking the monster "or that"

the group made their way to what many call the temple of the moon

Inside, Natsu, Lucy, Gray, and Happy all looked around, figuring out what was going on.

Natsu looked and saw the moon symbols all along the walls "what are those."

"Moon symbols," Gray answered, "this place looks over a million years old."

"Yeah," Natsu said as he started to walk around "even the floors look uneven," Natsu said as he placed his foot on what appeared to be a loose tile. This action caused the floor to break and sent them all down into what appeared to be a cavern.

Lucy stood rubbing her forehead "next time, Natsu, if a footing looks loose. don't step on it!" she shouted.

"Sorry," Natsu said as he started to walk away, "but there is a weird smell coming from back here."

"From where," Lucy asked, calming down as she Happy and Gray followed him. The Nasu came out of the cave to see a giant sheet of Ice it mere presence caused the air around it to freeze and become visible. Once Gray, Lucy, and Happy caught, he all stared in shock at what they saw.

##[ Akuma Deliora Ost ]##

"Deliorea," Gray muttered out, "but what in the world is it doing here."

"You know what that thing is," Lucy asked.

"Yeah, it's Deliora, the demon of destruction," Gray answered.

"Demon of construction," Nasu asked, confused.

"Destruction," Happy corrected.

"H...how," Gray stutter, "why is it here, what the hell is doing on Galuna Island!" Gray shouted.

"Gray calm down," Lucy said, placing a hand on Gray's shoulder

"You've seen this thing before," Natsu asked

footsteps were then heard Lucy looked back o see two shadows. Two men appeared. One had large eyebrows, and the other looked like a dog, "the voices seemed to come from down here."

"I hate being up during the day," the man groaned; he looked back to his friend, and an evil smirk grew on his face, "so toby has been exposed to moon drip you have those pointy ears."

"Grr, I told you it's a fashion statement. Stop being such a jerk, yuka," the other man known as Tobey shouted.

"I was joking. Calm down," Yuka shot back as they walked up to giant Ice.

"Moon drip," Lucy whispered, "could that be the name of the curse."

Lucy hid again when more footsteps were heard.

"Yuka, Tobey," a voice called out, "something terrible has happened."

"What is it know Sherry," yuka asked.

"it's angelica; she was attacked," the young explained, "and know I'm sad."

"You're telling me your moping around cause your stupid pet rat got attacked," Tobey shouted.

"Angelica isn't a rat," sherry retorted "she is a brave hunter prowling the jungle to protect us; she is love," Sherry said while hearts appeared in her eyes.

"I don't know who these guys are, but they're a bunch of weirdos," Lucy said under her breath.

"I don't know, but based on the scent there, not from the Island," Natsu told her.

"And it doesn't look like they have the demon curse," Happy added.

"intruders," Yuka asked.

"Yes, and it's almost time to start collecting moonlight again," Sherry told him "this news makes me so sad; this news would displease the cold emperor, " Sherry said, "we need to find them before the emotions first light."

Agreed," Yuka said

Tobey growled in agreement.

"Since they've seen deli or we can't allow them to live," Sherry said, "We give the gift of eternal slumber "we will give them; she looked up as hearts filled her eyes once again "Love."

"You are talking about death right," Tobey asked, confused.

Something snapped, catching their attention, "what was that," Tobey asked.

"It came from over there" the three then ran to see what it was

As they left, Lucy Natsu and Gray stood up as Happy flew next to the "nice job cat."

"Aye"

"Aww," Natsu groaned, "we should have grabbed them and beat some answers out of them."

"Not yet," Lucy told him, 'we need to investigate some more first."

"Man, this job just gets more and more complicated," Natsu moaned.

"Aye," Happy agreed, "like who is this cold, Emporer guy."

Gray looked back at Deliora " I still don't see what anyone would want from this thing."

"Do you know this Demon Gray" Lucy asked

"Yeah, it was sealed in a glacier on the northern continent," Gray said, refusing to look at the demon "a decade ago, this immortal demon ravaged Isvan; countless people lost their lives," Gray explained.

"The women who taught me my magic," Gray said, finally looking up at the Demon, "my Master Ur sacrificed everything to seal it away."

Gray closed his fist, and Ice began to form around. "I don't know if it has to do with the curses on the Island, but I know it doesn't belong here," Gray said, "we need to find this cold emporer," Gray said, calming down.

"cause if they try to tarnish my master's legacy, they're going to regret the day they were born."
