Hey guys, here the next chapter hope you enjoy it, and don't forget to leave a nice review and tell me your thoughts in the comments. Aww yeah

Happy: Previously on Fairy Tail, Lyon is planning to resurrect Deliora, and his lackeys came to attack the village!

Natsu: But I beat em

Lucy: Yeah, and that leaves Sherry, and she can control my spirits at will

Sherry: get ready cause the battle starts now.

[##Guren no Ikari Ost##]

"I'm impressed," Sherry said, "you were able to close the gate even though I was in control."

"Yeah," Lucy bosted as she stared at Sherry, "It looks like I'm stronger than I look."

"Will see about that," Sherry told her, "remember any spirit you summon I can control at will."

"Really, cause I got a few power spirits up my sleeve," Lucy said as she pulled out a silver key "{open gate Gate of Canis Minor: Nicoles}" Lucy shouted, and Plue appeared, getting a shocked look from Sherry.

"oh, isn't he the cutest" Sherry blushed, "I think I love?"

"Would ya stop talking about love for Christ's sake" Lucy moaned?

"Someone's bitter," Sherry smirked before activating her magic. "Marionette, now your spirit is mine."

Plue then stopped and faced Lucy. "No, Plue, not you too."

Plue then jumped at Lucy only to laugh at the tiny spirit attempted to hurt her as Sherry sweatdropped

The choices we make

"what" Sherry had little time to think before Lucy was attacking her with her whip "damn it, you called a weak spirit on purpose," Sherry shouted as she dodged another attack.

"Yep, now your magic is useless," Lucy boasted.

'I can't believe this" Sherry then stopped her control over Plue, who started to apologize to Lucy.

"It's okay, buddy now go rest up," Lucy told the spirit as it vanished,

"Marionette attack {rock doll}" a giant rock monster appeared behind her, scaring Lucy.

"do have a spirit that can destroy something that big," Lucy mutter before the rock doll began to attack her, causing Lucy to run away "now rock doll, crush this little girl."

"Little Girl!" Lucy shouted while she ran away, "we're the same age; hell, I might a little older than you."

"Keep talking, and I'll catch you," Sherry threatened, "you better find a spirit."

Lucy barely dodged another attack and landed at the side of a cliff, which slowly began to break "aw, shit," Lucy moaned as the piece she was on the fell landed her near a beach.

"water," Lucy said as she stood up, " I could summon Aquarius, but Water can't destroy rock, And Aquarius would sweep me away, too. Sweep me away?"

"Now it's time for you to die! no love for you," Sherry shouted as her rock doll attempted to step on Lucy, who jumped out of the way

"That's it," Lucy said to herself. "I hope I don't regret this {open gate of the water barrier: Aquarius}"

A huge column of water appeared and revealed Aquarius, which shocked Sherry "how the hell does a girl like you have such a powerful spirit," Sherry asked.

"Aquarius, listen, I need you to-"

"Hmm"

"Oh, come on with the attitude," Lucy moaned "for once, can you just listen."

"Oh hi, Aquarius, how has your day been" Aquarius moaned as she turned away from Lucy.

"Now then, Aquarius, wash that girl away," Sherry ordered as she used her magic to gain control of Aquarius.

"what"

"With Aquarius under my control, you might as well give up," Sherry told Lucy.

"NO, she's still my ace in the hole!"

"Oh yeah, Aquarius, wash this Girl away!"

"Oh yeah," Aquarius then gathered the water and Launched at the girls, " I was already planning on doing that "soon, Lucy was caught in a large pool of water Sherry began laughing until she notices the water coming from her too. she let out a scream before the water swept her away too "what ya know, looks like you can be smart Lucy, I guess I'll see you later."

Lucy managed to stand up with swirls in her eyes as she barely managed to walk around "leave it to Aquarius to hurl her waves at Friend and foe alike," Lucy muttered as she walked around.

Sherry also managed to stand up but barely able to gain composer " I hate myself for letting you trick me again," she told Lucy, "but ha, she wasn't able to destroy my rock doll."

"SO, but without you, on it, you can't control it," Lucy said; she leaned back into Sherry, and the two began throwing punches at each other, going back and forth "this is over" Lucy threw another, which caused Sherry to fly backward "I can't believe, cold emporer though my life is gone my love for you will burn forever."

"Oh come on, your not dead," Lucy moaned at the girl theatrics.

"Angelica, avenge your master."

"What" the giant rat monster appeared again, ready to attack Lucy, who unable to move at the moment t "this is bad," Lucy shouted as she closed her eyes only for someone to appear, which was revealed to be Erza the monster landed out cold as Erza hit the ground

"Erza, what are you-" Lucy stopped dead when Erza gave her a look that would some of the most powerful wizards get into fiddle position

"Lucy, did you know" her voice was colder than any ice magic. Lucy literally felt the color drain from her body. 'I'm so glad I'm soaking wet right now,' she thought to herself as Erza starred at her 'did she find out the truth about Natsu' Lucy thought

"Lucy, did you know" Erza shouted

swallowing a lump in her throat and putting on the best fake smile she could muster, "promise you won't hurt me," Lucy asked as her words rang in her head as something she probably shouldn't have said as Erza's glare grew colder

"Hey Lucy," Happy called and noticed Sherry and Angelica passed out "woah, you beat her" he looked to see Erza with her too "oh hey Erza, how-" he froze when she shot him the same glare which caused Happy to try and Flee only to be caught by the tail

"Where is Natsu," Erza asked in a tone of voice that cut all Logic

All Lucy could do was smile when underneath she felt her soul leave her body "Listen, if this about the salamander thing or whatever they call him, it can wait_" Lucy stopped when Erza flung her sword at Lucy, causing a huge shock wave

"I could care less right now," Erza spat " you know very well why I'm here, and you will tell me where he is, and you both may walk away with your lives."

(A little interjection sorry if the Salamander thing is out of nowhere I was supposed to introduce in episode 10, but I forgot my bad any back to the action)

Gray came too at a small camp; he was covered in bandages from head to toe as he struggled to get up "where am I" he asked as he looked around

he got up and exited the tent

one of the villagers came up to him "good your away," she said as Gray overlooked his wound; the aching feeling in his chest still wouldn't go away

"Where are we," Gray asked

"A small camp," she answered, "the village was destroyed last night."

Gray lost his words as he remembers Lyon telling his minions to destroy the village and their raid. "I can't believe they actually did."

"I know," the lady responded, "we were lucky that Natsu and Lucy were able to stop them."

Gray looked back "are they here," he asked in a concerned tone.

"Yes, there in that tent over there," she asked.

"Ok, thanks," Gray said as he left the Lady.

As he entered the tent, Gray froze as he received Erza's cold glare "you kept me waiting. that's a mistake."

"Erza," Gray asked, confused as he saw Lucy and Happy tied up, "why are they tied up, and what are you doing here."

"A better question is did you know Natsu's little secret? or did they hide it from you as well," Erza asked, not moving.

"What secret" Gray was really lost

"Natsu is the mysterious wizard that has been causing trouble as of late," Erza told him, her face sending chills down Gray's spine 'man, I knew she was scared, but god, I'm surprised the hair on my head hasn't stood up yet.'

"Hey, speaking of which, where is the Flame-brain." Gray laughed in his head 'good one. I should call him that.'

"that's what we'd all like to know," Erza asked as she stood up.

"Last I saw him, he was at the village fighting the cold Emporer's lackey's, but when we got there, he was gone," Lucy told him.

"Well then, we need to move," Gray said, "if he's out there, he's going to need back up."

"not so fast," Erza shouted.

"If anything, you will be calling of this mission and will be sending Natsu into custody."

Gray froze in place, "you can't be serious!" Gray shouted at her, " I know Lucy has caught you up to speed on what's happening, and we have to-" Gray stopped when Erza pointed a sword at him

"I could care less what happens to these people," they have a job posted in nearly every guild in Fiore Erza said coldly, "right know Natsu needs to answer for what he's done."

"How could you be so heartless, Erza" Gray shouted as she held the sword in his face scaring Lucy and Happy.

"Gray," Erza said in a calm voice, "Natsu isn't a registered wizard that alone is a huge violation, not to mention all the destruction he caused."

"Natsu isn't-" Gray shook off the thought as he remembered what Natsu had told him. "So, you and I both know he's a good person."

"Gray, if you do this, I'll take you along with the rest of them to the magic council and face you'll the same punishment, " Erza spat

[##fairy tail main theme slow ver. ost##]

Gray looked down, hair covering his eyes; he gripped Erza sword shocking all of them and pointed it at his chest. "If it means protecting these people from my mistakes, and if means easing a fathers pain," Gray said as he looked back at Erza with a glare that matched her own, " do what you must, cause at the end it's my choice, and I can't just walk away from what my heart knows is right."

Gray pushed the sword aside before walking away, "and Erza," he said, getting her attention. "Natsu is a better person than the rumors would have to believe we both know that, and you are too. in the end, I know you'll make the right choice," Gray finished before leaving

Leaving a shocked Lucy and Happy with an even more shocked Erza, who stood there speechless

Nasu let out a yawn as he walked through the forest back to the temple "damn it," he muttered as he found the temple. "I hope Lucy, Gray, and Happy are alright."

"I know they'll come here," Natsu said as he approached the temple " I should wait for back up," Natsu said; he moved his arm, which still had a small sting from his fight with Yuka, "but I have to stop this before they free that demon."

Back at the tent, Lucy and Happy were still in shock from what they saw. It wasn't until they saw Erza look back at them with that cold glare that they remembered how to breathe and the situation they were in. "Listen, don' be mad."

"Yeah," Happy agreed. "Gray's just mad cause he lost a fight to his old friend."

In a flash, Erza sword struck them, and the ropes were cut in half as they noticed Erza standing unmoving.

"these conditions are," Erza fumbling to make words, "unbearable will deal with the problem at hand first."

"Really"

"But that doesn't mean the current issue is dealt with," Era told them, "we will deal with this issue."

Lucy swallowed Nervously, "that isn't a good thing."

Meanwhile, back at the temple, Lyon stared disappointed at his only remaining henchman "so your the only one left, Tobey."

Tobey growled in response as he remembered that he had shocked himself, "hey can we keep the whole chocking myself a secret."

Soon the mysterious man appeared. "I have good news," he said as he faced Lyon "deliora ice is almost melted, so it should be at some time tonight."

"Zalty," Lyon stated, "as sneaky as ever."

The man known as Zalty smiled "we also need to keep an eye on those wizards" the fabled Erza has come to assist them from the looks of it," Zalty told him, "and the boy appears to know powerful fire magic and is quite resourceful when it comes to using it."

Lyon chuckled "no matter, they're both weak compared to me," he bosted

"I was hoping you'd say that," Zalty said, grinning, "but still let me have the honor of joining you in battle, for old time sake."

"Wait, you're a wizard," Tobey asked, shocked.

"Yes, I dabbled in a particular lost magic a long time ago; it may be enough to win."

"Alright, fine," Lyon agreed before the building began to shake

"it's an earthquake," Tobey shouted in panic

the temple then began to lean over deep in the temple, Natsu was destroying ledges to make the building unstable he let out a breath attack which reached the room where Lyon and company was

[##Natsu theme##]

Zalty let out a smirk. "I should have known he would have the first move. It appears we have a visitor, sir."

"man, it's been a while since I got to let loose like this," Natsu shouted to Lyon, "it's kinda fun."

"you fool, what do you think you're doing" Lyon shouted

"I'm destroying the temple; that way, you can't shine any moon drip on the demon in the basement."

"You bastard," Lyon shouted.

"Um, someone wants to explain what's going on," Tobey asked.

"well, it appears our friend destroyed the support pillars on one side of the building," Zalty explained, "so the building would lean to the side, and moon drip wouldn't hit Deliora," Zalty finished "it's an ingenus plan, I'm just surprised that he was able to come up with it.

"You just gonna stand there," Natsu shouted as flames burst from his feet, "or are you gonna fight."

"Flames shoot from his legs," Lyon asked, shocked.

"When we fought him, fire shot from his entire body," Tobey answered him as Natsu flew in the room and headbutted Lyon, which shocked Tobey.

Lyon then revealed to be a decoy as the real one appeared behind Natsu "{Ice make eagle} frozen eagles then shot at Natsu "you can't dodge them in mid-air."

Natsu then shot fire from his mouth, shooting him to the ground, where he then shot more fire from his feet as he did a handstand. {Fire Dragons: Roar}" Natsu shouted as Lyon jumped out of the way

"What kind of magic is this" Lyon asked as Natsu continued to attack him Zalty waved his hand, and the floor underneath Natsu gave out, causing him to fall in

"looks like luck is on your side, cold emporer," Zalty stated

Lyon stared at the whole, a look of disgust forming on his face "Zalty, what did you do," he asked.

"Can we keep the part of me getting barbequed a secret too," Tobey explained.

"what do you mean," Zalty asked

"the hole in the floor that was you're doing, " Lyon responded.

"ever the watchful eye," Zalty responded, "seeing as Deliora will be revived soon, and you are the only one strong enough to beat it, you must save your strength."

[##Guren no Ikari Ost##]

the air around them grew cold "are you suggesting that I could be defeated by such poultry magic" Lyon asked as the room began to freeze over Ice forming over the ceiling as he stared down at Natsu, who had climbed up "leave, I will deal with this fool myself, soon I will defeat Deliora and the world will praise the name Lyon the cold emporer."

"As you wish."

'he wants to fight that thing."

Gray ran alongside the mountain along with Lucy, Erza, and Happy, "wait, so he wants to melt that thing so he can fight it."

"the thing looks half-dead," Natsu told him "you mean to tell me you're going through all this" Lyon felt magic energy emerge from Natsu, "so you can fight a damn demon to prove you've surpassed your master."

Lyon couldn't explain it, but the magic Natsu was giving off made him feel warm, and that was a first "I must rise above Ur legacy," Lyon shouted as he shot another attack at Natsu.

"but why awaken the demon," Natsu asked as he dodged the attacks "couldn't you just challenge her and be done with it."

"I would if I could," Lyon told him, "but she's been dead for years."

Natsu froze as he remembered how Gray said Ur sacrificed everything to seal it. "I'm sorry, I didn't realize she died to seal it."

"Yes, but she would still be here if it wasn't for Gray," Lyon shouted as an eagle appeared behind Natsu and hit him.

Lyon lowered his guard as Natsu appeared only with a few scratches; he had to admit it he was low on fuel right now. Fighting two magic-users and destroying the building nearly took it out of him

"Look," Natsu said between breaths, "I don't know what happened in the past" Natsu let out a huff as he got into another fighting stance, "but I know what you're doing in the present, and it's hurting a lot of innocent people" Natsu let out a huff as fireformed on his good arm, "and since you can't see that, I'll have to beat it in you.

"ever since we were kids, Lyons dreamt of surpassing Ur, " Gray explained. "but since she died, he feels it's his duty to beat Deliora to prove he's surpassed her."

"that makes sense," Lucy said with her hand covering her chest "what better way."

"Aye"

"Listen," Gray told him as he stood up from the tree, "I never told him this. Ur made me promise never to let him know," Gray told them.

"Ur may not be with us, but she's still alive."

Hey guys, a sort thing about Erza. I hope it's not too weird, I just needed a reason for her to be there, and then I remember how she brought up looking for the salamander(Natsu), so thanks to my past self for that, it also adds a bit of drama to the mix which I promise to dive into later in the story.

Natsu: So Gray's maser Ur was the one who sealed the demon away

Happy: Aye

Lucy: she was also the one who taught him all the cool ice magic he knows

Natsu: well, no way she was a better teacher than Igneel

Lucy: I'll bet, but you gotta admit I wonder what Gray was like before we meet him

Next time: Ur

Natsu: do we really wanna know that.

Happy: yeah, it be cool to learn why he strips and stuff

Lucy: I think I'm good
