"Mira, please tell me you meant to only say one S-Class quest is missing" Makarov said clutching his chest thinking he might've been feeling the symptoms of an oncoming heart attack.

"I'm sorry master, but no, Two of the S-Class quests are missing. I don't know what happened" Mira cried out with worry as she ran down the stairs.

"Say what?! How the hell did two of the jobs from the second floor go missing?! Wakaba yelled.

"The jobs up there are S-Class quests. Anyone know who took off with it?" Macao asked looking around the guild for people to speak up.

"Well it's either someone really strong or really stupid." Laki theorized.

Laxus grinned, "Oh, I know exactly who took them, and your right about them being really stupid wood girl."

"Laxus, tell me right now who it was!" Makarov yelled sweating already.

The entire guild went silent looking up the stairs to see Laxus grinning, waiting for him to tell them who the culprit was.

He grinned "Well the first one to come up here and take a quest was that blonde chick who claimed to be a wizard saint, and the second one was a little blue cat who flew up here and ripped another off the board."

Mira looked at him, then face palmed like the rest of the guild "Oh god it was Lucy and Happy".

"Lucy must've stolen it without thinking she needed to be S-class" someone said.

"And I'd give anything she was planning on taking Natsu and Happy on it since they're a team" Macao said.

"Yeah, and I bet Happy must have stolen the other one for Natsu and Lucy too, not knowing Lucy already took one." Someone said.

"That's crazy! What're they thinking?" someone asked.

"It's Lucy and Natsu, from what we've seen they don't think" Cana slurred those around her nodding.

"Well, they've got some nerve taking on an S-Class quest." Alzack said.

"I don't know if I'd call it nerve, but it's definitely dumb." Bisca commented.

"I mean not really, Lucy's a wizard Saint if anyone's qualified to take on one of the S-class quests it's her. Really with Lucy by his side I'd say the two have good odds of getting the job done" Levy says cringing when Laxus glares at her.

"Shorty's words aside, that's a serious breach of rules, isn't gramps! A stunt like that will get ya kicked out the guild! Am I right?! Not that it matters! It's not like those three losers are gonna make it back alive from the two quests they took." Laxus smirked.

"I mean I don't know, Lucy's seriously strong if the stories of her travels are true" someone whispered. Another nodding.

Mira frowned at him, "Laxus! If you knew why not stop them?!"

"Tsk. Lighten up, I figured the Wizard Saint would at least be smart enough to not break the guild rules after such a short time being here and as for the damn cat, I saw a blue blur flying off with a piece of paper trying to act all sneaky. I had no idea it was Happy. How was I supposed to know Natsu would actually break guild rules."? He smirked.

Mira gave him the angriest glare anyone's ever seen before.

"Hmph, you haven't given me that look in a while."

Makarov groaned, not at all happy with this news, "This is far from good. Mira, tell me which jobs those two idiots took".

"Well, it seems they took lifting the curse on…Galuna Island." Mira said cringing and defeating a demon cult in Stella".

"What, are those idiots in insane?!" Makarov yelled.

"Galuna Island?!" Macao and Wakaba cried out in shock.

"Demon Cult!" Laki yelled.

"They're even dumber than we thought!" Alzack & Bisca yelled. Cana meanwhile spit out her beer shocked at the two missions the slayers had chosen.

"Laxus! Go and fetch them at once!" Makarov ordered. If we're lucky we can stop those two before they leave Magnolia.

"Yeah right. I got better things to do gramps. And besides everybody in Fairy Tail's supposed to take care of themselves, right?" he smirked. "If blondie really is as strong as she says then surely, she can handle lifting a dumb curse or defeating a demon cult".

"I don't care how you feel about Natsu or Lucy! The fact is you're the only one currently here who is possibly strong enough to bring both back by force!" Makarov yelled.

Gray stood up from the table, "Sorry Master. But I'm afraid I gotta disagree with you."

"Gray sit down" Master says deadpanned.

"Bet if Erza was here she could get Lucy back" Jet joked.

"Yeah, Lucy would follow Erza back in an instance" Droy laughed alongside Levy and the rest of the guild.


Natsu, Lucy, and Happy had just arrived at the town of Hargeon. Right now, they were at the port near the water.

Lucy was looking around the place already feeling sea sick, " Ah what a drag, you didn't say anything about having to take a boat to get to Galuna island" Lucy said glaring at the boy.

"I didn't know about the boat!" Natsu yelled, "Why can't we just swim for it?!"

"A few reasons Natsu. Reason one your magic wouldn't work against anything that might attack us in the water, and although I have Aquarius she is currently on vacation with her boyfriend. Reason Two, that's far too much work for me to do, so no swimming. Reason three we have no idea where the hell Galuna Island is" Lucy explained calmly.

Staring at Lucy, Natsu and Happy were awed by their teammate, who was usually a bit dense, who was quite reasonable with her explanation as to why they couldn't swim to Galuna island.

Man, Lucy continues to surprise me, Natsu thought grinning as he followed her to ask, unfortunately, numerous sailors if they could hitch a ride to the island.

After Lucy and Natsu had asked, begged and requested practically all the sailors at the port if they could take them to Galuna Island but were refused because of the curse there, both decided to take five and regroup.

Natsu grinned "Looks like we're gonna be swimming there after all!"

"Sure does!" Happy agreed.

Lucy rubbed her chin, "No, I have a better idea. Open Gate of the twins, Gemini." In a flash of light out came to little blue twins floating around Lucy happily "Piri, Piri" "How can we help you Lucy!"

"If you wouldn't mind, I need you transform into Happy here so we can fly to Galuna island"

"No problem, Piri, Piri" *POOF* Right before Natsu and Happy's eyes was an exact replica of Happy himself flying right next to Lucy's head.

"Whoa Lucy, your spirit looks just like Happy. But why?" Natsu asked

Smiling Lucy explains her plan "Well I figured we can use our Happy's to fly us to Galuna island. Granted it might take us a while, but we'll get there after a while".

For a while Natsu and Happy stared at the girl in front of them, Lucy thinking that perhaps her idea was stupid until Natsu wrapped an arm around her "Yosh, you're so smart Luce, that's a great idea! Why didn't I think of that!"

Happy nodded "Yeah, we'll get there in no time if we fly there".

"I found you." Gray said popping up out of nowhere grabbing them both on the shoulder taking Natsu and Happy by surprise except Lucy who judo flipped him into the ground.

"Oh, Gray sorry. You really shouldn't sneak up on people like that." Lucy greeted smiling.

Groaning Gray glared at the oblivious blonde in pain.

"What are you doing here?!" Natsu yelled.

Slowly getting up Gray began explaining what happened "Gramps found out about your hair brain scheme and sent me to bring you back." Making sure that all three of them were there "Honestly I'm surprised his hunch was correct about you choosing to do the Galuna Island quest together first."

"There's a Zodiac key involved, otherwise we'd be doing the demon cult" Lucy said nonchalantly from the side.

"Grr. But why? We're not in danger yet!" Natsu asked.

Gray looked at the blonde incredulous at her then smirked at Natsu, " Anyways, I'm sure if you come back now you might avoid being kicked out of the guild. Maybe."

Lucy raised a brow, "Hmm, kicked out huh. Guess I'd could always head to Cait shelter."

Seriously Lucy, Loke said.

"I don't care! We're going on this S-Class quest!" Natsu said.

Gray frowned, "Look if it was anyone else, I'd say you were out of your league but since you have Lucy, I think you'd be okay, but still you don't have the correct title to be doing this Natsu. Just come home." He started to shake, "When Erza finds out about this she's gonna be so angry."

That statement finally got a reaction out of Lucy, gasping Lucy grabbed Gray shaking him for more. "What do you mean, why will she be angry, I can't anger my mate Gray, one of the ardent rules of the courting ritual is keeping my mate happy. Luce made sure to remind me numerous times".

"Whoa, that was a pretty big word for you don't ya think" Gary says a bit shocked Lucy knew what ardent even meant.

"It was, but Luce engraved that word into me when he told me the steps of courting my mate" Lucy says shrugging.

Natsu and Happy were listening intently to Lucy's explanation, torn over not ruining Lucy's chances with Erza but also wanting to prove his strength. Sorry Luce, but I gotta do this.

"I've gotta prove my power to Erza and Laxus! So, like it or not I'm doing this!" Natsu said with determination.

Lucy, while not wanting to anger her mate, saw the fire in her teammates eyes and knew she would just have to make it up to Erza once they got home.

"Don't worry Natsu, I'll make sure you show everyone just how strong we are, that's a promise and as a celestial mage I never break my promises!", Lucy winked. "Besides, as teammates when one goes on a job, we both go on a job, remember" Lucy said grinning.

Looking at his partner Nastu couldn't help but feel a swell of respect for her rise.

"Thanks Luce" nodding they fist pumped not paying attention to Gray across from them.

"Well, Master ordered me to bring you home! I'll drag you back to Fairy Tail if I have to." Gray said just as determined.

Gray summoned his ice magic, "Don't make me hurt you two!"

Natsu's fist was on fire, "I'd like to see you try!"

Before either could do anything, Gray was knocked out by gemi-Lucy's celestial sucker punch. "Piri, Piri. Did we do good Lucy!"

Giving a peace sign Lucy smiles nodding "You did great, nice job Gemi and Mini. Now Natsu and I can go on the quest"

A man watching close on his boat was surprised at the magic they were using. Lucy looked at the man and saw he was watching them. Deciding he was being creepy she went up to him to ask why.

"Hey why are you watching us, you're really creepy!" she yelled.

"Magic…?" she heard him murmur, "Oh, I-I'm sorry, but are you wizards? Have you come to lift the curse from the island?"

"Yeah." Natsu smiled.

Lucy shrugged, "I guess."

He looked at them for a little while before speaking, "…Get in."

Lucy smiled, "Thanks creepy dude."

"Seriously?" Natsu said with a smile. "Awesome! but what should we do with Gray we can't just leave him here"

Lucy looked at the ice mage then lifted the unconscious ice mage over her shoulder surprising both Happy and Natsu at her strength, we'll just bring him with us on the quest. Grinning evilly "That way he'll be part of our crusade too now".

"Nice thinking, and besides, we can't let him go back and tell the guild," Natsu started shaking, "Cause the next person they'll send is Erza."

Lucy frowned thinking of how angry her mate will be, "Yeah, they probably will…lame"


Natsu and Lucy were currently suffering from motion sickness on the boat. Both moaning for the trip to be over.

"Happy help us" Natsu begged the flying cat. Lucy meanwhile communicating with her keys who were claiming to all be busy now. I should melt you all.

"Well look on the bright side at least you're not tied up!" Gray complained, then looking to the man who let them on his boat, "This is your fault too buddy! Why'd you decide to let us on?!"

The man turned to them, "The name is Bobo. And if you must know, I use to be a citizen of Galuna Island."

Lucy looked up from her side of the boat and raised a brow, "mmprh-Really?".

"But I had to flee. I just couldn't take it anymore. I should warn you, tragedy befalls anyone who steps foot on the island. There's no avoiding it…that is, unless your able to lift the curse." He moved his arm in plain view so they could all see it. His arm didn't look normal.

Gray and Happy gasped, but Lucy's slayer powers were immediately going off from just seeing the man's arm, which weren't helping her sea sickness. However, Lucy didn't have to be a genius to know it didn't look normal. He lifted his arm so they could get a better look, "This a vile demons curse."

As soon as he said that Lucy's powers began to flare up unnoticed by the others. Somethings going on, she thought.

"Whoa your arm. What happened to it?" Gray asked.

"So, your arm looking like that is part of the curse?" Lucy said skeptically before throwing up over the side of the boat. She knew if he was part of the curse then she would be able to use her powers to rid of it but, from her reaction there was something more than a curse going on, Lucy just didn't voice it yet.

He didn't answer her; annoying the blonde. Instead he looked ahead towards the island. "We're almost there." They looked in the direction he was looking from and saw an island not too far from them, "That's Galuna Island."

Lucy hadn't noticed his presence disappear when they looked to the island. "Hey creepy guy, augh, why's the mountain top all glowy like that?" When Lucy didn't hear him respond to her, she looked back and saw that he was gone.

He's gone. No, that's not it. She thought.

"Where'd he go?" Happy asked.

"Did he fall out?" Gray questioned.

"It's like he disappeared into thin air!" Happy said.

Lucy heard something from behind them, "Dear Mavis, is that what I think it is" pointing behind her as she felt the boat start to rock making her even more nauseous.

Gray looked behind him when he heard Lucy speak, and saw a giant wave heading right towards them, "Uh, guys!"

"It's a giant wave!" Happy screamed.

"Now don't panic just hold on!" Gray yelled.

Natsu was silent the entire time but saw the massive wave too. He along with Gray shut their eyes waiting for the impact to hit them until they realized nothing was happening, surprising both. When they opened their eyes, they saw the reason for the disappearance of the wave was a giant mermaid with an urn keeping the wave at bay holding Lucy like a rag doll who was green faced.

A tick mark appeared on her forehead as she began reprimanding her master "Seriously brat, you're the 5th rank Wizard Saint in all of Ishgar and yet you can't even think to handle a boat ride!" Tsk, did you ever think to ask Loke for a motion sickness pill or to maybe I don't know summon me when you felt the wave coming! Dumb brat"

"uhhhh, mrgphp, sorry, didn't mmm-want to bother you and Scorpio" Lucy mumbles, trying to hold back her vomit as Aquarius starts to shake her.

Looking up at the mermaid Natsu and Gray stare wide eyed as she continues to shake and yell at their friend who looks as though she's about to die any second.

"You know I don't actually care when you summon me ya little brat" smacking her head "And another thing, did you even think before you chose to go off on a S-class quest, think of the consequences, think of the harm you're putting your teammates in!" Aquarius said as she continued to smack Lucy's head.

"No. I'm sorry" Lucy mumbles ashamed of making her most trusted spirit disappointed in her.

Sighing "It's alright brat, but damn it be careful from now on" Aquarius says before tossing them to the edge of the island".

"Thank you Aqua!" Lucy yells grinning happily, causing Gray Happy and Natsu to sweat drop at the girls change in attitude towards the spirit.

Once on the island Gray couldn't help but speak "Geez Lucy your spirit's pretty strong to just stop that wave" Not bad" he praised.

Natsu shot up from the boat that Aquarius had tossed down, "Nice job Luce, your angry mermaid spirit did a solid for us!"

Gray sweat-dropped, "That was quick."

Lucy smiled at the two then looked at Gray "Well yeah, this is the ocean, Aquarius's domain, a little wave like that is nothing against Aquarius's power" Lucy boasts causing Gray, Natsu and Happy to sweat drop She calls that a little wave!


Lucy groaned "creepy guy ditching us in the middle of a boat ride to the island aside, we made good time to the island right guys?"

"I guess," Looking around to see it was night Gray shrugged, "still wonder where that guy took off to." Gray said.

"Who cares? We made it to the island cause of Lucy and that's all that matters!" Natsu grinned throwing an arm around his partner.

"Aye!" Happy agreed.

Lucy yawned "No problem Natsu, but it was technically Aquarius"

That's right it was brat.

"Yeah, anyway what now" Gray asked.

"Truthfully I'm too lazy to go exploring right now, so I don't know about you guys but I'm going to bed."

"Eh, sleep sounds good right now." Gray agreed, already used to the girl's laziness.

"Aye…" Happy said rubbing his eyes and yawning.

"Yosh! Sounds good to me! We can go explore in the morning!" Natsu smiled.

Gray was about to ask where they should set up camp when he saw Lucy asleep on the sand with her cloak covering her.

Gray stared at her, "What the?! How the hell did she fall asleep so fast?"

"Lucy sleeps really fast." Happy told him, "she's really lazy but really strong".

Gray was about say something else when a bright light appeared and out came Virgo one of Lucy's spirits as he recalls.

"Hey Virgo, what's up" Natsu waved.

"Princess requested I give you all sleeping bags, so you're well rested before the mission tomorrow" handing out color coated bags to Gray, Natsu and even Happy. "If that is all" she said then disappeared before they could thank her.

"What the hell…?" Gray asked in confusion.

Happy looked at him as if he was stupid, "What Gray? Virgo just gave us sleeping bags so we could sleep. Lucy's just making sure we're all nice and cozy like a good teammate would." He said flying over to his friends and sleeping on Lucy's stomach in his mini sleeping bag, while Natsu was sleeping next to the blonde in his dragon themed sleeping bag.

Gray stood there for a minute, trying to understand what just happened,but no matter how many times he asked himself it he couldn't find an answer. Giving up on trying to figure out the weirdo that is Lucy, he laid down in his new sleeping bag with snowflakes, on the sand with his hands behind his head and fell asleep.


"Hmm, from what I can get off the quest paper there's a village on the island and the village chief originally put in the request, so obviously we have to find out where he is." Lucy explained as they all woke up the next morning.

Natsu and Happy were listening intently to her words and nodded.

"Not so fast." Gray said getting from his position on the sand, man this sleeping bag is comfy.

"Give it up Gray. You can't take us back to the guild now that our boats been destroyed, and Lucy certainly isn't taking us back since she wanted to go with us on this quest." Natsu frowned.

Lucy nodded, "Tis true. As teammates we are obligated to go on jobs together and we chose this one to go on."

"You're right I can't, which is why I'm coming with you," he said shocking his two teammates, "There's no way I'm gonna let the Natsu make S-Class before I do."

"Hey what about me!" Lucy yells slightly insulted that Gray didn't think she could make S-class.

"Lucy be serious if you asked gramps, I'm sure he'd give you the title. You're already a Wizard Saint so I know I'm leagues behind you, so I'm not even going to try and compare myself to you, but Natsu on the other hand is a better comparison" Gray says deadpanned.

Both Natsu and Happy nodding in agreement. "Oh", laughing Lucy smiles at her friend "Thanks Gray!".

"And besides if you two were kicked out, the guild would be pretty boring. Sure, Gramps will be upset for a while at the fact we did the request, but if we pull this off, he won't stay mad at us for long." Gray explained.

Natsu grinned while Lucy gave a thumbs up. "Atta Gray!"

"Let's go." Gray grinned.

"Aye!" Happy said.

"Yeah! Welcome to Team Natsu" Lucy and Natsu said.


At the guild

"I'm back everyone, what have I missed" Erza yelled happily as she sat down.

"Oh, uh well, how do I say this" Mira stuttered, while handing her strawberry cake hoping that would ease the yelling she was about to hear.

Glaring at her ex rival "Spit it out Mira, that's how"

"Natsu and your mate stole two S-class requests, then Gray went after them but hasn't come back. So, we're not sure what happened to him!" Mira spits out.

"Crack" punching the table she was sitting at, Erza looks up from the cake Mira had brought her "First off, she's not my mate. Second, did you just say the two biggest idiots in Fairy Tail stole not one, but two S-class requests and you had Gray, another idiot, go after them".

"Erza my dear, we had no choice, while Gray is not as strong as your mate, he does match up in strength to Natsu. We were at least hoping he could bring back him which in turn would knock some sense into Lucy" Master hurries to say.

Facepalming Erza looks to the rest of the guild who nod in agreement, "Yeah, thought it would work" some seem to say.

"Okay ignoring the mate comment, Again. How did you know which one they would choose out of the two?" Erza says grinding her teeth.

"Calculated guess?" he says shrugging.

"You've got to be kidding me" she sighs "At least tell me which ones they took so I have an idea of where to look for them"

"Galuna Island and the demon cult in Stella" Mira yelled out quickly thrusting out the quest papers to her.

As her eyes scanned each S-class quest, she saw one in particular had a reward with a gold key, rolling her eyes at the obviousness of which one the two idiots would choose, she tossed them away announcing her departure " I'll be back in a few days with my mate and the others" pausing to facepalm at what she just said and glare at the entire guild.

"What did you just say Erza?" Mira says slowly trying to hold back her giggles.

"For fucks sake, now I'm calling Lucy my mate! I blame you idiots for that" stomping out of the guild hall grinding her teeth, Erza ignores the chuckles and laughter at her slip up.

Slowly Cana turns her head to display the shit eating grin she has on to say to Mira "I think Lucy's actually wearing her down with her weird courting ritual, hahaha!"

Laughter erupted with Cana calling bets in how long until Erza finally accepts Lucy's mate proposal".


The gang arrived at the village only to see a sign that says "Keep Out" right in front of them.

"Well we found the village, now what?" Gray asked.

"Check out that gate. It's really big, guess when they say keep out, they mean it eh Luce." Natsu observed.

"Nah, I think it's meant to be an intimidation factor, to see who's brave enough to come through" Lucy explains sagely.

Gray was silent at her answer unsure if she was serious while Natsu was writing down her words of knowledge, "Man Luce you're really smart, I would have never thought of it like that"

"I don't think it is" Happy said sweat dropping at his best friends.

Natsu grinned ignoring Happy, "If that's the case, then Let's bust in."

Lucy smiled devilishly igniting her hands, "Sounds good to me."

"We're not busting in!" Gray yelled at them.

Two guards appeared above the gate looking down at them, "Who goes there?!"

Looking above them Lucy answered, "We're wizards from Fairy Tail responding to your request!"

"Why weren't we notified when you excepted the job?!" one guard asked.

Gray answered this time, "Sorry it was probably just a mixed up with the paperwork!"

"Then let me see your emblems right now!" the guard demanded.

Natsu showed his on his right shoulder, Happy showed his, which was on his back, Lucy showed hers on left arm, and Gray showed his on his chest. The guards saw their emblems and opened the gate letting them in.

They entered the village and came face to face with a man with a cloak on covering his enter body, hiding his face and everything else along with the other villagers.

The short man with the cane spoke to the three, "I'm Moka the village chief. On behalf of everyone here I welcome you. Pleasantries aside, there's something you need to see. Now my people." Gesturing to the villagers all at once they removed their cloaks and showed them their demonic limbs just like Bobo showed them.

"It's just like what happened to the Bobo guy." Gray said.

Lucy hummed in agreement as she began to fill her powers flair up again, trying to figure out what was really going on with these weirdos.

"Oh wow! You got nice side burns!" Natsu yelled, "think I could pull them off Happy?"

"Nah, you'd looked really weird" Happy replied.

"Aye" Lucy said.

"Not that imbecile! I was trying to show you what happened to my arm." Moka said waving the disfigured limb around, "Everyone on the island has suffered horrible disfigurement because of this curse. Not even the animals have been spared." He explained.

"Excuse me for asking, but what makes you think it's a curse chief? It could be an infectious disease from the water or fruit you eat." Gray suggested.

"We've consulted with dozens of doctors young man, but they all agreed that no such disease exists." Moka told him, "You see, our symptoms began around the same time the moon fell under an evil spell."

Lucy raised a brow attention now fully caught, "A Spell?"

"Since ancient times this island has absorbed the light of the moon. This in turns causes it to glow as beautifully as the moon itself. However, a few years ago the moons color began to change, and an eerie purple glow was cast upon the island." Moka explained.

"So, the moon turned purple?" Natsu questioned looking to the sky.

Happy looked up at the sky noticing something, "Aye! It's coming out from behind the clouds!"

Looking up they noticed the moon was indeed glowing purple just like Moka said.

Lucy stared at it, "Huh, creepy villagers were right, it really is purple."

"Man, that's creepy looking." Gray said, then paused realizing what Lucy had said. "You can't go around saying that type of stuff, be more delicate idiot!" he yells whacking her on the back of the head.

"Oww, jeez fine, sorry. Weird villagers were right the moon is purple" Lucy corrected herself.

Sighing Gray facepalms turning back to the chief who is just staring at the two Fairy Tail wizards.

"Anyways, we believe it is the curse causing this…" Moka said clearing his throat.

Lucy looked at him waiting for more.

"Stand back. The change is about to begin." Moka warned.

Looking around the team saw that everyone started transforming into what looked like demons, Lucy's powers flaring up even more to the point she had to reel in power which was trying to seep through. Uh, this mission is gonna be a drag I can already feel it, she thought.

"They're changing." Gray stated the obvious.

"Even I could've told you that Gray". Lucy said grinning..

Natsu's eyes widened, "Why's this happening to them?"

After they finished their transformation the chief began to speak again, "I'm sorry if our appearance frightens you."

"It's okay, I'm just completely confused." Gray said.

"Hmm, looks pretty painful" Lucy said, then grinned "but you look pretty cool if I'm being honest!".

"Right, Luce!" Natsu said happily.

Everyone looked at like the two as though they were insane, although Happy and Gray, used to the two personalities brushed it aside. "What?" the villagers said.

"It's so cool! You've got horns and stuff! I'm so jealous!" Natsu rambled off in excitement.

"They even changed colors" Lucy said nodding in agreement.

"They think we look cool?" a male villager questioned.

"No one's ever said that to us before." a female villager stated.

Gray sighed, "It may look cool to you two idiots, but it doesn't to them."

"Seriously? My bad then I guess we should help them out then." Natsu grinned.

"That is why we're here." Happy reminded

"Just point to who I have to beat up and I'll get it done" Lucy said, unaware how close her words were to the truth.

Gray crossed his arms looking away, "Get a clue you two, it's not that easy."

The chief coughed into his hand and spoke, "Yes, it's far more complicated. As you've witnessed whenever the purple moon shows its face in the sky, everyone in the village takes on a horrific demon form. This is not someone you can beat, it is a curse set upon us" Moka said.

Looking around they saw all the villagers were crying about their appearance.

"We'll return to normal once the morning comes and the sun has risen. However, there are some poor souls that could no longer switch back to their human forms for they have lost their minds." Moka explained.

Moka looked down, "The fate for them. These unfortunate souls in the grip of madness…we've no choice but to put them to death."

"But they might change back to normal some day!" Natsu said.

"If we wait for that to happen then the monsters will surely kill us all. We've tried capturing them but they've always broke free. It's no use." Moka said with tears in his eyes, "Once it takes hold there's no way to save them. I should know I was forced to kill my own son." He showed them a picture of his son and they noticed it was Bobo the guy that brought them to the island in the first place.

"But that's the same guy from the boat! But we just saw him yesterday he-" Happy was cut off by Lucy slapped a hand over his mouth.

"Now I understand why he disappeared on us like that," Gray said, "He's dead, but his soul can't rest in peace."

"Don't be an idiot Gray, ghosts aren't real" Lucy said chuckling.

"Like you're one to talk!" Gray says punching Lucy and starting a mini brawl while the chief continues to speak to Natsu.

Moka bowed to them, "Please lift the evil curse from our island! If this goes on much longer, we may all fall victim to it…we'll die."

"We're not gonna let that happen!" Natsu said determinedly, "right Luce!"

"Celestial demon sucker punch!" Lucy yells punching Gray in the gut, then taking a breath she smiles at the chief and grins "Heck no we won't, we'll turn you guys back to oomph-

"Ice make Lance!" Gray yells knocking Lucy to the side and winking to the villagers, "Don't worry we'll get you guys back to normal".

Moka stopped crying and looked at the two fighting Our fate rests in these three, we're doomed.

"We can fix this I promise you." Natsu told him.

"There's only way this retched curse can be lifted. The moon…the moon must be destroyed!" Moka told them, causing all four Fairy Tail to be stunned to silence.


The team was currently in a hut given to them by the chief so they could sleep there.

"I never knew the moon could be so creepy." Happy said.

Lucy looked out the window right along with Happy, "It's creepy alright, it's causing my slayer powers to flare up tenfold."

Happy looked at her, "Oh yeah, Are you alright?"

She gave a peace sign and smiled, "When am I not?"

"When Erza isn't around" Happy said, causing Lucy to shoot him finger guns "Got me again Happy".

Natsu was leaning back into the armrest chair, "I'm not so sure about this job guys."

"Do these people really think we can destroy the moon?" Gray questioned.

"I wonder how many punches it'll take? You think I can handle it?" Natsu asked.

"Are you kidding me?!" Gray yelled, "Don't be stupid man."

Lucy crossed her arms, "Not sure Natsu this may be too much for even you" perking up Lucy snaps her finger "But wait, maybe with both of us combined Natsu, we could take that sucker down!"

"You can't be serious, there's no way we can do it!" Gray yelled.

"But that's the job we were hired to do isn't it? We can't take a job and back out, because that would make Fairy Tail look bad." Natsu stated.

"What they're asking can't be done! How do you think you can get to the moon anyway?" Gray questioned.

"With Happy." he said simply.

Happy looked at him, "I don't think so."

"Lucy?" he looked at the blonde.

She blinked at him then looked away thinking about it for a second then looked back, "Gemi-Happy"

"Piri, Piri, you called for us Lucy" two twin blue spirits said popping up.

"Yeah, do you think you can help me in blowing up the moon?" Lucy asked the two in complete seriousness.

Don't you dare encourage her Gemi- mini, Aquarius told the two little spirits.

Aww, okay, the two said, sad they couldn't play with their master and her friends.

The two spirit twins looked at each other, "Piri, Piri. Sorry Lucy, we can't help you here".

"That's lame. Well thank you anyways" Lucy said with a grin before they disappeared.

Gray sweat-dropped, "Your face tells us you believed for a moment you could actually blow up the moon."

Natsu crossed his arms, "Then what the heck can we do! Yo, Lucy are you sure you don't have a spirit- "he trailed off noticing the blonde was already asleep with her cloak covering her.

"You have the laziest teammate in the whole guild" Gray deadpanned.

"She may be lazy, but she gets the job done when the time comes Gray," Natsu said, plopping down to where Lucy was falling asleep."

Happy flew over to them sleeping near Natsu's head on a pillow, "Goodnight Natsu."

Gray just shook his head and fell asleep in the bed next to Lucy having stripped his shirt and pants off at some point.


Natsu yawned loudly, "It's so early."

"Yeah, I'm never up at this time." Gray agreed.

Lucy stretched "Luce used to have me wake up way earlier than this for training. It was a total drag, but I learned to get used to it over time"

"Really?" they all said looking impressed at the mage in front of them.

"Yup!" Lucy says.

Lucy looked back and saw Happy lagging behind, taking pity in the cat she called upon her one of her spirits, "Gate of the Clock, I open thee, Horologium!" a magic circle appeared, and the grandfather clock appeared in a puff of smoke.

"The time is 7:48." Horologium stated.

Gray looked at the clock spirit, "So why'd you summon a giant clock for the time?"

"I didn't do it for the time" walking over to where Happy was dragging himself, "I did it for my little buddy here. Sleep inside Horologium for a little while, okay?"

Happy sent her a sleepy smile and spoke, with Horologium translating for him, "You're the best Lushie!" He says gratefully."

"No problem," she looked over the open mouth boys, "What?"

They looked away "Nothing "both said simultaneously.

"Alright then LET'S GO!" Lucy said charging ahead of them with Horologium following right behind her. The two males grumbled about it "not being fair that only Happy gets to sleep in and they don't."

Walking further away from the village they discussed a plan on how they would break the curse but unsure of how they would do it. As they continued walking, they heard stomping noises, stopping them in their tracks.

"What was that?" Natsu asked, looking around the area for signs of an enemy.

Looking behind them, they saw it was a giant rat that was wearing a tutu outfit.

"Whoa! What the hell is that?!" Natsu yelled.

"It's huge!" Gray also yelled.

"Is it me or is that thing about to attack us? Says the little blue cat." Horologium translated.

The giant rat started inhaling but before it could do anything a flame whip had taken hold of it and swung it towards the trees.

"Celestial demon flame whip" sending the rat away from them and the rat soaring back, knocking it unconscious.

Natsu and Gray didn't even have to guess whose voice that was. When they turned around Lucy had dispelled her flame whip and was walking away from the rat.

She looked at the two then shrugged, "A rat was coming at us in a tutu I panicked".

The two makes looked at each other.

"Eh, I'm not judging. Gray said.

"Same here." Natsu agreed.

"Aye!" Happy said not inside Horologium anymore.

Lucy looked at the cat, "Oh, Happy did Horologium leave already?"

"Yeah, he went back after you defeated the tutu rat." Happy explained.

She shrugged, "Hmm, turning around, she points, "Hey look at that creepy old temple over there. Why don't we go see what's inside?"

She turned back and saw both Natsu and Gray punching and kicking the unconscious rat, "We should kick its butt while we have the chance!"

She nodded joining in, "Good idea".


Lucy was looking around the giant temple in awe, "This place is massive. I've only seen places like this in Alvarez".

"Yeah and its fallin' apart." Natsu observed.

"I wonder how old it is?" Gray wondered.

"Like a thousand years old" Lucy said.

"Seriously", Gray asked looking to the slayer.

Shrugging she looks away, "I don't know I just didn't want your question to go unanswered" she said chuckling.

"You're an idiot!" he yelled.

Natsu looked up and saw something, "Hm? What are those?"

Looking up Gray answered "They're moons. It makes sense Galuna used to be called the island of the moon."

"Moon Island, moon curse, and moon symbols. They either really like moons or there's some sort of connection here". Lucy said.

"Man, this place is a wreck," he said stomping on the stone floor, "This floor doesn't even look safe to walk on."

Lucy stared at him, " Natsu, I know what you're thinking because I'm thinking the same thing, but please don't do it"

Just then the floor gave way under them sending them falling underground.

"Natsu you idiot! Look what you did!" Gray yelled.

Lucy frowned, "I told him not to, but he did it anyway" as they were falling to the ground at such a fast speed with her arms crossed. Shaking her head, she continued to mumble "Man I know I'm dumb but even I wouldn't have done oomph- falling flat on her face she quickly got up to punch Natsu back down, "Idiot, I told you not to do that!"

"Yeah Natsu, that's pretty bad when Lucy says not to do it." Happy said.

"And here's a thought, think before you act and maybe you wouldn't cause much destruction!" Gray yelled.

They looked up and saw just how far they fell.

"Can you fly us outta here Happy?" Gray asked.

Happy shook his head, "No sorry. We're stuck here".

"Aww man that sucks, huh Lucy... Lucy? Hey guys where's Lucy?" Natsu asked.

"What the? Where'd she go?" Gray wondered.

"Lucy! Where are you?!" Happy called out.

Meanwhile Lucy was running towards a huge amount of demonic energy having abandoned her group she ran towards a cave entrance she saw, her mouth dropping at the sight of an enormous monster.

Behind her following her scent was Natsu who saw an entrance and decided to look there, "Guys I'm pretty sure she went into that secret cave! Let's go!"

They ran after the fire dragon slayer and when they turned around a corner, they found Lucy along with something Gray had hoped to never see again.

"Lucy!" Happy flew over to her landing on her head to get her attention, "Why'd you run off on us like that?"

"The demonic power coming from this way, I couldn't not follow it", she said as she pointed at the giant block of ice holding whatever was causing the demonic energy.

"Whoa! Look at all that ice" Natsu said looking up at it.

"What ice? Gray asked, looking in Natsu's direction.

"Hey guys, what's that thing in there?" Natsu asked.

When Gray got a good look at it his eyes widened and for a moment he forgot how to breathe, "This is impossible."

No one said a word. Natsu was trying to comprehend what he was seeing, Happy hid behind Lucy's leg, and Lucy was trying to stop from attacking it.

"Its…Deliora!" Gray said in horror as he walked up to it, "But how? When did it appear here? No, Why!? What the hell is it doing on Galuna Island?!"

"You've seen this thing before?" Natsu asked confused as to why his friend looked so scared.

"There's no…no way…" Gray mumbled shaking so hard it looked like he was cold.

Lucy put a firm hand on his shoulder, "Gray, don't be lame and panic. Take five and talk to us when you're ready".

Gray looked at her dumbfounded. He wasn't sure whether he was being encouraged to speak or told not to be a baby, but either way somehow, he found her words slightly soothing and was able to take a breath and find the correct words to speak while he calmed his nerves a little.

"Cool, you look like you can talk now" Lucy said with a peace sign.

Gray rolled his eyes at the dense blonde but nodded his head, looking at the frozen demon, "Its Deliora. The Demon of Destruction."

"Demon of construction?" Natsu questioned.

"Destruction." Happy corrected.

"But why is it…here?! It doesn't make any sense?!" Gray demanded.

Lucy looked up at Deliora, the demon of destruction. This can't be. Another demon from the Book of Zeref?

She was brought out of her thoughts when she smelt new scents approaching, "Guys start hiding. Now."

The footsteps got closer and closer and revealed two teen boys who were talking about something.

"The voices seem to come from down here." The blue haired one with the weird eyebrows said.

The other had brown hair wearing a dog collar and no shirt but had yet to speak, instead he just growled.

The gang was hiding behind some rocks observing the two.

"Ugh, I hate being awake during the day." The blue haired one complained. "Same" Lucy whispered to her team.

"Shut up" Gray whispered.

The brown-haired boy nodded.

The blue haired one spoke again, "So Toby, were you exposed to the moon drip? You've got those pointy ears." he asked.

"You know they're a fashion statement jerk!" Toby yelled.

"Lighten up I was just teasing you." the blue haired boy smirked.

"You don't have to be so mean about it." Toby sulked.

Lucy was listening in to their conversation, "Moon drip? Now where have I heard that before."

I know I know! A soft-spoken voice yelled in Lucy's head.

Just then another person showed up this one was a girl with pink hair that was in pigtails wearing a dark blue gothic dress and dark blue boots, "Yuka, Toby. Something terrible has happened to Angelica"

Sighing Yuka looks to girl "What now Sherry?" he asked, while Toby just waved at her.

" Angelica was attacked. Quite brutally might I add and I'm sad." Sherry said.

Lucy, Gray and Natsu snickering on the side.

"You're sad because someone beat up your stupid pet rat in a weird tutu?!" Toby yelled.

"She's not a rat. She's a brave hunter prowling the jungle to protect us. She is…love." Sherry stated.

Lucy yawned, "Man that girl's weird, who the heck owns a rat in a tutu."

"Judging by the scent I picked up off them they're not from the island." Natsu informed them.

"Noticed that too huh, Natsu" Lucy said.

"And they don't look like they have the demon curse." Happy observed.

"Intruders you say?" Yuka questioned.

"And it's almost time to begin collecting moon light again. This saddens me so much. To deliver the news of intruders to the cold emperor would disappoint him very much, we must find them and rid of them before he finds out" Sherry suggested.

Yuka grinned, "Agreed."

Toby just growled.

"Since they've seen Deliora we can't allow them to live. We'll give them the gift of eternal rest. We'll give…them love."

Toby sweat-dropped, "Are you talking about death?" Looking to Yuka "She's talking about death right", the other mage nodding his head before the three mages ran off to find the noise coming from behind them.

"What was that?" Sherry questioned.

"Over there." Yuka said running in the direction the noise was coming from with the others following right after him.

The gang got up from their hiding spot, "Nice job Happy, waiting for stuff to happen is always a drag." Lucy complimented.

"Aye." Happy said.

"Come on. We should've grabbed them and beat some answers out of them." Natsu complained.

Lucy grinned, "Nah Natsu, we still need to invest first then we can kick these guys butts"

"Uh Lucy I think you mean investigate" Gray says sweat dropping.

"Really, alright we'll do that too" she says nodding at the ice mage.

Natsu crossed his arms, "Man. This job keeps getting more and more complicated."

"Right. Like who is this cold emperor guy?" Happy questioned.

"And how did that pink hair girl control the rat?" Lucy asked.

"That's not important!" Gray yelled, rubbing his forehead he looked to the ice block

"Deloria. I still don't understand what anyone would want with it. And how the hell were they even able to find it?" Gray questioned.

"Did you hide it good enough?" Lucy asked, "Luce was really good at hiding things. He used to hide my dinner so I would have to strengthen my sense of smell" Lucy said standing next to Gray.

"Uh. yeah. It was sealed away inside a glacier on the northern continent," Gray answered ignoring that last tidbit, "A decade ago, this immortal demon ravaged Isvan. Countless people lost their lives. The woman who taught me how to use my magic, my master Ur sacrificed everything to seal it away. I don't know if it has anything to do with the curse on this island, but I do know that it doesn't belong here." Gray's ice magic was flowing through his hand.

"We need to find out who the hell this cold emperor is. If they tarnish my master's legacy, they're gonna regret the day they were born!" Gray growled.

Lucy looked at the ice block, Moon drip, Deliora, and the Cold emperor. "This mission is turning out to be more work than I thought it would be, what a drag".
