Hey, it's time for the next chapter. as always, please leave a like and comment to tell me your thoughts
Happy: last time, we were able to stop Deliora successfully, but the villagers haven't been cured yet; it looks like we will have to destroy the moon.
Natsu: aww yeah, this is going to be awesome
Gray: I can't believe they're going through with this
Lucy: Me either
"We need to destroy the moon," Natsu and Erza said in unison.
"Woah there actually going to do it," a villager said "yeah, and we get to see it happen.
Erza then changed her armor "this is giant armor," she said as she appeared with a yellow armor that gave her a large hand "it allows me to throw farther" a spear appeared in her hand "this spear(I couldn't spell its name) replies darkness."
"So what are you planning," Natsu asked.
'There's no way this is going to work,' Lucy and Gray said in their heads.
"When I'm in throwing position, you'll hit the spear with your firepower," Erza to the boy, and that should be enough."
"maybe," Natsu said, "looks like we have our plan."
"they really are planning on doing this," Gray muttered.
"looks like they've officially gone off the deep end," Lucy said
The secret of the Demon Island
Erza and Natsu stood atop the watchtower, "you ready."
"You bet."
Erza then got into her throwing position, and Natsu came up from behind and Punched the spear with all his might
the spear burst into flames and Launched into the sky, and destroyed the roof of the lookout tower
"that's bad."
"What are they thinking."
The spear went high into the sky until it vanished. Everyone stopped and looked at crakes began to appear on the moon, shocking gray and Lucy.
Natsu and Erza both smiled at each other as the loud crack appeared and broke, revealing a normal moon.
"looks like your hunch was right," Natsu said
"Yes indeed," Erza said as she looked at the sky "it wasn't the moon the purple just the moon drip caused a side effect the villagers
soon, the villager began to glow, but their appearance didn't change
"what," Lucy asked, confused, "what's going on? None of the villagers turned back."
"that's because this is their true form," Erza said, coming up to them.
"What" Lucy shouted as she nearly fainted.
"Is that true" Gray asked
"I don't know; my memories kinda hazy," someone answered, " We all looked pretty human when you meet us."
" true, but it appears that you guys have the ability to take on human forms," Natsu explained, "the loss of memory probably explained why thought your temporary forms were your real ones."
"But why weren't Lyon and his Lackey's affected," Lucy asked
"that I don't know, maybe it was because it can only affect Demons," Erza told her, "as for the temple, it's a sacred place; maybe being of darkness couldn't enter it."
"Your quite the detective," a voice called out; the group was shocked to see that bob, the sailer that brought them here, was still alive.
"Bobo," Mako said through tears.
"I knew I could count on you," he said
"But we thought," someone called out.
"it takes a lot more than a stab to the chest to kill a demon," Bobo said, laughing.
"but on the boat," Gray muttered, "you just disappeared"
In a flash, Bob was gone again. "I hope you kids can forgive me for not telling you the truth sooner, " Bobo told them, "I was the only one here who didn't have any memories, Loss, so I had to leave," he said, laughing.
"Bobo," Moka was on the verge of tears as he soon sprouted his own wings and flew to his son and embraced him with a large hug.
[##Ifuudoudou - Rock Ver. Ost##]
"SO glad you snapped out it pops," Bob said as he held his father close to him
soon every other demon was flying towards him, joining in on the hug, happy to have their friend back
"yep, they definitely are demons," Erza said, smiling.
"I don't know," Natsu said, "looking from here, at their faces" Nasu paused and gave off a big smile "they look like angels to me."
"The whole group smiled at this as the Demons played in the sky "let's have a party tonight. It all out demon party."
"I don't know if I'm rowdy enough to party with demons," Lucy muttered.
"Aye"
An entire feast was set up as everyone sat together and ate.
Natsu and Gray sat off to the side, talking as Natsu ate some fire.
A demon girl walked up to Gray, "Hey, how are you."
"um, have we meet," Gray asked, confused.
"Oh, that's right," she said "you probably don't recognize me; she soon reverted to her human form, which Gray immediately recognized "hey, your that lady from before
"Yeah," she said as she turned back
another Demon popped up, and next to Gray, "so that you know, every girl is crushing on you."
"Um, really," Gray asked.
"but you like us better in our human forms, don't you."
"I... no, you look fine, how you are," Gray said nervously.
"Oh, he's so cute," all the girls shouted in unison, "let's take you to the dance floor and teach you the demon wiggle waggle."
"Looks like someone popular with the ladies," Lucy giggled.
"he'll find a way t scare'em off.
"I was wrong about humans," Moka stated
"huh," Lucy asked
"You see, we were afraid that humans would judge us based on appearances," Moka stated, "that's why we came up with the curse."
"well, it worked. Lucy told him, " No, sailor wanted to come here."
"Yes, but know that I've met you, my opinions have changed," Moka stated, "now we're ready to go out and befriend people from other lands."
"that's good," Erza told them, "friendship is a beautiful thing that transcends physical appearance," Erza said as she looked at Natsu, who was Laughing with a few other demons 'even past experiences.'
Miles away, Yuka, Tobey, and Sherry all stood over the village with looks of anger on their eyes, "you sure you want to do this."
"Yes," Sherry answered, "we have to avenge the cold emporer, for love."
"Just stay here," Tobey ordered, "we'll handle this."
Yuka and Sherry walked into the village, getting the attention; Erza and Natsu stood up from the table's ends.
"may we help you," Erza asked
"Yes," Yuka answered, "you gave the cold emporer quite the beating he barely had the strength to get down here."
"So we came ourselves," sherry finished.
"I thought he explained what happened," Lucy shouted, "I thought we were cool."
"yes, but that doesn't matter to us," Yuka stated
"We wanted to settle things personally."
"So you jerks want a rematch," Natsu said. He stood next to Erza.
"that isn't necessary, Natsu," Bobo told him, "we can't keep relying on you guys; we have to do this ourselves."
"that's nice," Erza said, "but let me handle this one" Erza then walked towards the two, who only smirked.
"We meet again, Erza; you gave Angelica quite the beating," Sherry stated
"she seems like a worthy opponent," Yuka said
"Be careful around the creepy girl!" Lucy shouted, " she can control inanimate objects."
"and don't even think of using magic against old mega brow," Natsu told her.
"In that case," Erza stated before she chared at the two, "I'll do this the old-fashioned way!" she shouted before punching the two on the ground.
"wow," Yuka muttered.
"amazing, you are strong," Sherry said as she stood, "we don't stand a chance."
"Wait," Lucy muttered, "that's it"
"I wish it was always that easy," Natsu muttered.
"I doubt this will make up for all we did," Yuka told them, "but we wanted to apologize."
"oh," Happy called out, "that's what they meant by settle things."
"the cold emporer told us everything," Sherry told them, "thanks to all you. we can finally let go of all the pain Deliora caused us many years ago."
"wait," Gray said in shock, "your victims of Deliora too."
"Yes," Yuka answered. "Deliora destroyed our homes and killed our friends and families."
"So when the cold emporer told us he had a way to kill Deliora forever," sherry finished, " we followed; we were so filled with thoughts of vengeance that we failed to see we were harming other people."She placed a hand on her heart as she smiled "from now on, we will try to treat people with respect and Love."
"that seems pretty good to me, Natsu said, walking up to them" "what do you say you join us" Natsu offered, which shocked the two.
"wait, we were just your enemy was a few seconds ago," asked, shocked.
"um, I'm not so sure I'm trying to watch my figure a the moment," SHerry reponed
"oh would two stop the excuses and Live a little, "Natsu tells them as he sat them down and the part resumed
in the distance, Zalty sat next to a floating Lacrima "did you see everything, sir."
[##Rakuen no To Ost##]
"Yes," a voice called through the lacrima, which turned out to belong to Siegrain, "why'd you restore the village."
"cause I'm just that nice," Zalty answered.
"Some might say too nice."
"those wizards," Siegrain stated, "could be a problem if they get in the way of our plans."
Zalty took off his mask and transformed into Ultear, a member of the magic council; she gave a smirk "that's true," she stated
The next day Natsu Gray and Lucy were sitting outside "um, I think there's a scar, Grey."
"it's alright," he told her, scooting away.
"on your face," Lucy asked, confused.
"yea cause I can see it," he told her, "it's the invisible scars you gotta worry about."
"not even those," Natsu told him. "I see those as the moment that you learn from," he said, "and you grow from them to become a better person."
"ya just had to sound cooler than I didn't ya," Grey retorted
"Oh come, man," Natsu said, "if I am doing anything, I was adding to the cool moment."
Later, the villagers tried to offer the group their reward for their pay, but Natsu turned it down.
"Please, it's the least we can do," Moka told them, "for all the trouble."
"I know," Natsu said, "but your gratitude and happiness was enough for me," Natsu said. Behind them, Lucy was forcing a smile on her face.
"I'm surprised you don't want the reward, Natsu," Erza stated
"Well, to be honest, I didn't come here for that," Natsu said, "but you guys were offering a gate key, right."
this caught Lucy's attention, "really."
"Well, at least let me give you a ride to hargeon," Bobo told them.
"that isn't necessary," Erza told them, " I already have a ship waiting."
"huh"
Erza then leads the group to her pirate ship was the love-strict pirate was waiting for her "hello me, beauty."
"how'd she," Lucy asked, confused.
"You know, Erza," Natsu told her, "you never cease to surprise me."
"nor you," Erza replied
"speaking of which, why did you come here," Nasu asked, "not that I'm mad you did, but why."
Lucy Grey noticed the look of dread on Erza's face as she looked away. "I just heard you came out on a mission a brought Grey along," she lied, "so I kinda thought I'd show up to yeah."
"I'm surprised," Lucy stated
"me too, after the cold gare she gave us" Happy shuddered a the thought.
"climb aboard, mates," the captain called.
"mates," Gray said
"I'm not getting on that creepy boat!" Lucy sated
"well, we could always swim home," Natsu told.
"Are you insane!"Lucy shouted at her partner
the demons of the Island then said their goodbyes as the wizards left their Island, telling them to come back someday
In the distance Lyon and his follower watched the group sail off.
"Lyon, are you okay," Sherry asked, "you never got to say goodbye to your friend and show him you, love."
Lyon chuckled as he watched the ship sail away "it's alright," he told her, "we'll meet again someday, I know it."
Meanwhile, back in the magic capital of Era, Ultear had arrived in Siegrains office, "I'm sorry deliora didn't work out."
[##Rakuen no To Ost##]
"it's unfortunate," Siegrain stated, "but we had no clue that it was dead," he stated as he put a book away. "C'est le via I'll be more careful next time."
"I had no idea that wenches magic was so strong," Ultear told him.
"You know you shouldn't speak of your mother like that," Siegrain told her, "don't cause Ur to shed another tear; she was a great wizard," Siegrain told her. "I bet if she were still alive, she'd be counted amount the ten wizard saints."
"You give her too much credit," Ultear scoffed. "My mother loved her magic and nothing else, no wonder my father left her"
"they say the bigger the loss, the stronger someone must become to contain it," Siegrain said
"I doubt my mother thought I was a great loss," Ultear said
"You never know, maybe she took on those students too" Siegrain was stopped when Ultear place a finger on his lips.
"Let's change the subject, "Ultear whispered, "I think it's time to move to the next phase."
"Ultear your face," Siegrain said, shocked as Ultear face began glowing red.
"damn it," she screamed, " that idiot Natsu landed a hit on me," she shouted as Siegrain laughed.
"so how was he," Siegrain asked "was he as good as the rumors make him out to be"
"I couldn't tell you," Ultear said, " all I can say is we were both holding back," she said, "him a lot more than me."
"what do you mean," Siegrain asked
"well, he was a little worn out after fighting, and his left arm was stiff," Ultear told him, "but even though I could feel a massive surge power resting in him, almost as much as that Gajeel fellow."
"So you think thereof the same breed," Siegrain asked, "you seem to know the magic there using, so why not tell me."
Ultear laughed "because it would be rude," she answered " his kind prefer to keep their magic hidden," Ultear told him " all I can safely tell you is that with each passing day, he's going to get stronger."
"Good," Siegrain said, "for my dreams to be realized, I'll need him as powerful as can be"
Natsu and co and safely made it back to Magnolia when Erza did the unexpected
she had stopped in front of Natsu and bowed her head, and started to apologize
"Um, I forgive you," Natsu answered, confused.
"No, you don't understand," Erza admitted, " I was so caught up on a vendetta that I was going to compromise your mission."
Natsu froze, realizing what she was talking about. "Erza, If anyone should apologize, it's me," Natsu admitted, "I should have told you from the beginning."
Erza stood up and let a smile form on her face. "I guess we were both wrong. Can we still be friends, Natsu?"
"of course," Natsu told her as they began to walk away. Lucy stopped as she noticed a small smile forming on Erza face; she couldn't explain why but it gave her the creeps
