Gray held Juvia as she sobbed both feeling absolutely useless. Once again they had their little ones within their grasp and then once again they slipped through.

Meanwhile all the rest of Avatar was finishing the final touches of the ceremony. After an hour or two it was finally time for the ceremony to begin. The High priest Kishu came up to the front of the large crowd of Avatar members.

"My fellow worshippers of Zeref today we have gathered today to finish the final works of Zeref. We shall use the two wizards with the greatest potential in water and ice magic to do so. So now I shall firstly show you the device invented by our lord Zeref, Gentleman if you'd please!"

Behind the high priest was a large mass covered in a large black sheet. Now two men came up and both took one end of the sheet and ripped it off to reveal the machine. It was a large, rough, and black stone top with two divots near the center. It was raised up by three legs of the same stone all of them along with the edge of table covered in Zeref markings. It then at the very front of the table had a very large lacrima with a hand divot on top of it.

"Now it is time for me to introduce of power sources and sacrifices!"

It was then Delilah came in and walked down the large aisle in the middle of the crowd. In both her arms were Silver and Ame both crying their eyes out from the loud and disturbing cheers from the Avatar members as well as the fact they wanted their mommy and daddy.

Back in the cell both Gray and Juvia were tortured for even over the noise of the crowd both could hear their children crying out for them. After a few seconds Gray had had enough. Even though the chains pulled him down Gray rushed as best he could to the ice wall. He slammed it continuously as hard as he could determined to get to his children.

"Gray stop you're going to hurt yourself more than that wall!"

"I refuse to go down like this in their father and I'm not going to fail my job of protecting them!"

"Gray we need to go at this smartly or otherwise we won't be well enough to fight for them."

Gray then stopped out of breath from using his strength to both destroy the ice and resist the gravity of his chains.

"How.. exactly… do you … plan…. on doing… that."

"Huuuh there has to be something!" Juvia said as she frustratedly thought of a plan.

She looked all around her trying to see what they could possibly use to their advantage. It was then Juvia saw the crib that one of their kids most likely used and had an idea.

"Gray I think I have an idea."

"What is it?" Gray asked eagerly.

"Both of hear chains are made of the same metal right? So what we need to do is use our chains to smash one set and then we can help free the other and get out of here."

"I guess that could work but who is going to destroy who's?"

"You're probably more physically strong than I do you would probably be the best choice."

"But what if I crush your hands while I'm at it I don't want to hurt you."

Juvia put her hand mom Gray's face.

"I have faith that you won't all you need to do is break the chains."

"Ok."

Gray stared at the chains on his wife's wrists and took a deep breath. Juvia held out her wrist and closed her eyes trusting her husband but needed to not see this. Gray raised his arms as best he could and focused on his wife's chains. After taking another deep breath Gray released his arms and hit Juvia's chains.

Almost immediately they cracked and fell off in pieces. Juvia then immediately focused on her husband's chains.

"Water Slicer!"

Luckily the chains didn't repealed magic just suppressed it so Grays chains broke off immediately as well.

"Alright we did it now let's go." Gray said as he took Juvia's hand.

Juvia nodded as the went up to the ice wall in front of them.

"Combined Attack!"

With that Juvia and Gray shot a stream of iced water and melted/shattered the wall. Almost immediately the two ran out the door and to their children to permanently reclaim what was theirs.

As soon as Delilah got to the front of the crowd she presented the crying babies to the high priest. He quickly took them and spoke to the crowd more.

"Now the world shall end in ice so it may in turn end in fire! To you Zeref we sacrifice these infants so that all may come to a close."

Kishu turned around and held them both over the divots in the stone table.

"Now the world shall be ours and all who somehow survive shall bow to us. But most importantly the world is now claimed in the name of Zeref! Now I claim Ragnarok!"

"Not on your life!"

Just as high priest Kishu was about to put Silver and Ame on the table he froze. He turned around and saw Gray and Juvia in the middle of aisle.

"So I see you escaped your cell."

"Put my kids down or pretty soon you're going to have nothing to put them down with."

"Then I'll put them down I guess."

With that Kishu quickly turned around put the twins in the divots and put his hand on the lacrima causing the stone to glow blue as a dim light was shot towards the sky. Everyone who was a member of Avatar ran towards the shelter that they had created to survive the disaster, excited for the new world they were about to bring to pass. Both the twins started to cry relentlessly as they felt their already weak energy become weaker.

"No!" Both Gray and Juvia yelled.

"Fight me and my warrior and you can have them back but I would hurry they don't have much time."

Gray and Juvia ran at the high priest willing to do anything to get their kids back. Delilah jumped in front of Juvia clearly challenging her.

"So you're going challenge me again. How are you going to beat me this time without your masters intervention."

"Believe me I haven't even showed my true power to you."

Delilah's eyes began to glow white as her hair started to move around her.

"Sub Zero Blizzard!"

Juvia was suddenly hit with a blast that froze her to her very core but she was not deterred.

"Water Nebula!"

Delilah then was soaked and knocked to the ground baffled at the power of this rain woman.

Meanwhile Gray was busy dealing with Kishu knowing this was going to be a hard fight.

"So the failure father finally comes for his young."

Gray felt heat and saw red at the very utterance of the comment ready to pulverize the priest.

"Ice Devil Rage!"

Gray released a great purple storm from his mouth, this was something he learned shortly after him and Juvia were married. He had perfected it with much training and now he could use it without fail.

The priest felt himself freezing as the blast consumed him.

"Nullify!"

Suddenly the icy attack was gone as if it never happened but still was able to do some damage.

"Ice Devil Lance!"

Gray continuously attacked but was time and time again nullified by the priests rather cheap magic.

"I can see you are getting frustrated with my magic well how about I do so even more. Demonic Arrow!"

The priest then released a giant arrow or of black and dark purple energy and nearly killed Gray.

As Gray fell on the ground from dodging the attack he tried to think of how he was going to win and get his ice prince and sea princess home.
