As Gray stood there he failed to notice that the battle wasn't over for the doomsday machine was still running. It was then Gray was brought out of his daze by the sound of shifting ice and babies crying. The ice the machine was creating had already covered the ground all the way up to the Avatar guild hall. It was then a strong freezing wind started to come from the machine.
"Gray we have to get them out of there!" Juvia yelled as she tried to push through the ever strengthening wind.
"I'll get them you stay back!"
"Gray wait we have to do this together!"
But much to Juvia's advice Gray went again and climbed the ice wall that was growing and surrounding the machine.
After he gotten over the ever growing ice wall the freezing wind got even stronger. But Gray persevered determined to get to the twins. As he got closer the winds got colder making almost impossible to move through the strong winds but the twins wails also got louder and more terrified. As Gray listened to their helpless crying his fatherly instincts increased for he was their comforter and it was his job to make sure they felt safe.
After a few minutes of pushing Gray eventually got to the table. Silver and Ame then through their tear filled eyes saw their father and reached for him wanting to be held and rescued. With the rest of his strength Gray stood his ground as the wind pushed at him and reached for his children. As his arms passed the light surrounding the rim of the table he felt immense amounts of pain from the rushing magic power but he persevered. His hands eventually reached Silver and Ame and he then grabbed their clothes and pulled them off the table into his arms.
Almost immediately the wind stop and the machine ceases to work. Out of absolute joy and relief Gray tightly embraced his shivering twins as the grasped their father for safety and warmth.
"It's ok daddy's got you daddy's got you." Gray said comfortingly as he rocked them.
As Gray kissed and hugged his children he was oblivious to the wall of ice crumbling around him.
"Gray! Silver! Ame!" Juvia cried out of joy.
"Juvia!"
Gray ran towards his wife who met him in the middle happy to know her children and husband were alive. It was then Juvia kissed and hugged her children in Grays arms absolutely relieved they were safe. However as she loved her children she felt how cold both of them were kicking in her motherly instincts.
"Gray their absolutely freezing we need to warm them up!" Juvia said worriedly as she dug through her and Grays bag that she retrieved.
Luckily Gray and Juvia had thought to bring baby stuff for the journey back because after a few seconds of digging around she pulled out two baby blankets. She then took Ame in her arms and quickly wrapped her up while simultaneously giving Gray the other blanket to wrap Silver in.
After a few minutes of the Fullbuster family trying to recover from the recent events the ground began to shake and crack. It was then both the children started to cry from being scared by the shaking ground
"What's happening!" Juvia yelled as she tried to soothe Ame.
It was then pieces of the ground started to fall through.
"The machine must have eroded and weakened the ground around here. Now it can't support itself we have to get out of here!" Gray said as he tried to calm Silver down by rocking him.
Both the mages ran for their lives as the ground started to collapse taking the machine with it. As they ran forward it seemed as if the ground was chasing as it collapsed in their direction. They ran as fast as they could managing to get to the Avatar guild hall but were still being followed by the hollowing ground. They managed to get to the front went the guild hall started to slip a little down the hill that was created in front of it.
Gray took Juvia's free hand.
"We've got to jump!"
"Alright I trust you!"
They both looked forward and took a deep breath then leaped across the hole between them and the solid ground. As the were in the air both their children cheered up and giggled as the air blew in their faces. They eventually landed luckily on their feet.
It was then the once powerful dark guild fell into the great hole and disappeared. Both Gray and Juvia turned and shielded their children as debris flew in the air.
After it finally finished both turned and were shocked by the enormous hole that was before them both happy they had made it out. Gray and Juvia then turned and hugged each other relieved that it was all over.
They decided to set up camp and head back home in the morning figuring that everyone needed sleep. The twins were knocked out in their parents arms, after all the excitement was over, exhausted from the events of the last two days.
Juvia and Gray laid their sleeping mats together and then got under their big blanket, Ame and Silver sandwiched between them in a protective hold. They were at last a whole family once again and intended to stay that way. For they would now and forever stay the Fullbusters.
