The Salamander and The Mirage

Chapter 8: The Cursed Island

Natsu's House…..

Natsu and Shiro were sitting at a random table in the guild having a conversation about….

"What are you talking about Natsu?" Shiro asked wondering why the pink haired dragon asked him this weird question.

"Oh come Shiro, I know you've thought about going on an S-class job." Natsu said with a smile on his face.

"Of course I have, but I'll go on one when I become an S-class wizard." Shiro said.

"But that takes too long, so why not go on one now?" Natsu asks.

"Because It would be dangerous, we could die!" Shiro exclaimed.

"Come on man, you know I'll still go on one with or without you." Natsu said

Shiro sighed, "Fine I'll go with you. Can't have you going off and getting yourself killed." Shiro said giving up the argument and facepalming.

"Great, Now I just get Lucy to come along too." Natsu said. Shiro looked at the fire Mage with a look of confusion, "Why would you want blonde to come with us no offense, but she's barely a C-class mage." Shiro said. Natsu flashed his signature grin, "Come on the more the merrier and you can bring Sayla too." Natsu said making Shiro think about the black haired woman. "Fine… So what job did you chose?" Shiro asked while raising an eyebrow.

"I picked this one!" Natsu said holding up a piece of paper that read "Help! My village is cursed and we don't know how to undo it?" Save The Cursed Island! . It had a 7,000,000 jewel and celestial spirit gate key reward and the location was Galuna Island. Shiro read the job request and nodded, "Alright, but I'm not gonna get Kurona or Sayla involved with this, I don't want them to get hurt." Shiro said worried about the S-class quest.

"Ok, But don't worry It will be fine, I'll just ask Lucy and we can go tomorrow morning." Natsu said smiling. Shiro nodded before going home and explaining what he was about to do to Sayla and Kurona.

"Alright Time to head to Lucy's place!" Natsu yelled fist pumping the air

"AYE SIR!" Happy yells along with his best friend.

Lucy's Apartment…

"Wow Fairy Tail has some really strong wizards in it!" Lucy says while walking on a ledge next to river leading to her apartment. "Also I think I got most of its power ranking figured out too." She says smiling as a mental image of a chart appears that has the S-class Wizards on top with Natsu, Shiro, Gray, and herself directly below them with lines leading to Erza, and everyone else in the guild at the bottom labeled 'other'. "I've got to work really hard starting tomorrow!" Lucy says motivating herself to getting stronger as she stops in front of house before opening the door and heading inside.

Lucy walks toward and enters only to be greeted by a sweaty Natsu Dragneel and Happy the cat working out on her bed, with Natsu doing set ups and Happy Lifting a weight over his head.

"Welcome Back!" The two said in unison.

Lucy's response was a drooling to the pink haired dragonslayer while yelling, "You stink of sweat." And then yelled, "Do your workouts at your own house!" . Natsu smiled and said, " Ah come on Luce we're a team now remember?" He said before taking out a pink dumbbell and offering it to her. Lucy yells at Natsu asking when have I cared about Dumbbells! Natsu shook the screaming off while got right next to him and the two began to do push ups.

Anyway Lucy I was thinking since we are a team, we should go on an S-class quest" Natsu said as Happy wiped out a job request with a big fat S on it.

Lucy stared at the piece of paper in shock, " An S-Class Quest!? Natsu are you crazy!?"

Natsu simply flashed a smile at Lucy and said, "Let's go Lucy."

Lucy back away slightly, "How did you even get that? You're not allowed on the second floor."

The blue cat smiled and simply said, "I flew up to the second floor and took it while no one was looking." The blonde instantly replied calling him a car burglar.

Natsu decided to start talking again, "Anyway, since it'll be our first time and all, we picked the cheapest job up there, but it's still gives you 7,000,000 jewel in the reward." He said smiling.

Lucy immediately yelled, "No, we're not qualified for S-Class Jobs!" Natsu looked at the blonde and smiled, "Heh If we pull this off, I'm sure gramps will acknowledge us! Maybe even make us S-class on the spot!"

Lucy walked around the room and sat at the chair to her desk and sighed, "Urgh, why are you always so insane? Can't you even follow your own guilds rules like Shiro?"

Natsu looked at the blonde and said, "We'll never reach S-class just like that. And besides Shiro agreed to come with me." All the while smiling happily.

Lucy eyes almost popped out her head in shock, "Even Shiro agreed to go? He must be as insane as Natsu is!" She thought to herself before looking at Natsu. "So only you three are going?"

Natsu put his finger on his chin, "I'm not too sure, Shiro said that he doesn't want Kurona or Sayla involved, but Kurona might just come since she basically lives in Shiro's Hair."

Lucy starts thinking of an image of A small house on Shiro's head and out of nowhere, the front door opens and show Kurona waving and saying, "Hi!". However she immediately pushes those thoughts away and turns away from the pink haired dragonslayer, "Whatever, You go and have fun cause I'm not going anywhere."

The dragonslayer and blue cat then try to persuade the blonde by saying that the job was on an island. This cause the blonde haired 17 year old to imagine a tropical island, but that thought was killed after she heard her two friends say in. A creepy voice, "The cursed Island of Galuna!"

The second Lucy heard the word "cursed" she completely rejected the idea of going, even when Happy suggested that she could get half the fish, which she simply yelled, "I don't care about that cat!"

After a few more attempts that all ended in failure, Natsu and Happy decide to head home and prepare for the S-class Job. Happy flew out the window with Natsu on his Tail so he could land on the ground without causing damage.

Lucy sighed, "Urgh, Finall they're gone." She turns around and noticed that they had forgot to get the request and it was now on her floor. Lucy panicked thinking that she could easily be blamed for this and picked it up. She was about to yell for those two to come back until she starts reading the request and smiles like a Cheshire Cat. "The request's reward has a Zodiac Key in it?...". She stood still before running to change her clothes and running outside to Natsu and Happy while yelling, "Natsu! Happy! Wait for me!"

At Shiro's House

Shiro was sleeping in his bed after getting his stuff packed for tomorrow. He was close to going to sleep until he heard the door open. "Hmm?" He said.

The door creaked open and the only thing visible was the silhouette of the figure but he could easily tell that it was Sayla because of the horns.

Shiro sat up in his bed, "Sayla, are you ok?" He asked with concern in his voice.

The golden horned woman nodded slowly, "Umm yes I'm fine…I just wanted to ask if it was ok to sleep with you again?..." She asked while completely blushing.

Shiro smiled, "Of course it's okay, you don't have to ask me." He said as he pulled the covers off to let the woman get in his bed, "Sayla, if you want to sleep in here with me then you can just come in whenever you like."

Sayla slowly nodded again before climbing into the bed with Shiro and laying her head on his chest.

Shiro decided that this will be the best time to tell Sayla about the S-Class Quest.

Shiro looked down at her, "Sayla, Natsu Happy, Kurona, and I are going on an S-class job tomorrow so I'll be leaving early to get to the docks."

Sayla looked up at Shiro with her beautiful eyes gleaming in the moonlight, "Isn't that against the rules Shiro-kun? You two aren't S-Class wizards yet right?" She asked while looking into Shiro's eyes. Shiro nodded and said, "Yea, we're not S-class, but Natsu is gonna go no matter what so I can't let him go out there alone with just Happy and get themselves killed."

Sayla shifted slightly and rose her head from his chest allowing her horns to be visible and hard boobs to shine in the moonlight. "Is ok if I go with you tomorrow?" She asked hopeful that she could go with him. Shiro tried to not look at Sayla's breasts and said, "Yea, if you want to come with us then you can. I trust you enough that you'll be able to handle anything we face out there." Sayla smiled with delight and hugged Shuro pressing her breasts against him all the while shouting in her head, "Shiro-kun praised me!"

Shiro's face turned red like Erza's hair and it took all of his self control to force himself to sleep.

-The Next Morning-

The Fairy Tail guild was in a frenzy. Mirajane ran down the stairs from the second floor yelling, "Master! A job request is missing from the second floor request board!" Master Makorav was having his morning coffee with a side of Sorcerer Weekly Swimsuit Edition, so it took him a few seconds to process this information. Makorav took a sip of joe before doing a 10 outta 10 spit take shooting the coffee out his mouth and ruining his favorite part of the magazine, "What!?" He screamed looking at the shocked barmaid with equal shock.

One of he elder guild members, Wakaba said, "Wha? A job request is missing?" Another guild member and father of Romeo, Macao concluded, "If it was on the second floor, then it was an S-class Job.

Fairy Tail's resident wood make Mage Laki asked, "What kind of idiot would run off with that?"

The next voice said something that completely cracked he case wide open. "A cat, I saw a little blue cat with wings fly up and take off with it." Said by the resident Fairy Tail asshole, Laxus Dreyar aka….Makarov's grandson.

Mirajane turned her head to face Laxus. "Happy did? She asked?" With Laxus simply nodding with a smug grin. The whole guild began to engage in the conversation, "Happy, that means it was Natsu and Lucy!" One yelled. Another one adding, "What're they thinking going on an S-class Job!?" A third person yelling, "Natsu probably dragged Shiro, Kurona, And Sayla-chan as well into this!" This cause a bunch of males to feel sad about losing their Sayla-chan even though she doesn't even acknowledge their presence.

Alzack was surprised, "They went and toke an S-class Job just like that?". His green haired partner adding, "I thought they were stupid, but not this stupid."

All the talking stopped when Laxus spoke again, "This is a serious breach of the rules. I assume the second the get back in here that you're gonna kick them out, ain't that right Gramps?" Makarov stood quietly in deep thought while Laxus continued. "Though, given their skill level, They'll probably won't come back in one piece at all will they?!" He says before Mirajane walked up to him.

"Laxus! Why did you try to stop them if you knew?!" Mira yelled putting her hands on her hips. Laxus simply said, "All I saw was a cat fly off with a piece of paper in its mouth. I would've never guessed that it was Happy. Or that Natsu would try to go out on an S-class Job." Mirajane glared at Laxus like she hasn't done in a very long time. "You haven't given me that look in awhile" he said looking at Mira's demeanor.

Master Makorav finally spoke, "This is bad" he started, "What Job request was taken?"

Mirajane continued to glare at Laxus before saying, "the one for Galuna Island." This comment caused the while guild to erupt again with comments, "Galuna Island?" "Are they insane?!" "They really are stupid!". Makarov turned and looked up at His grandson. "Laxus! Go bring them back!" He ordered.

Laxus simply smiled, " I can't since I got my own work to attend to. Besides, aren't members supposed to be able to take care of themselves?" The short old man was not playing his games, "You are the only one who drag Natsu back by force!" He yelled. However before Laxus could say anything, A certain Raven haired teen stood and said, "Sorry Gramps, I can't let that comment go.

-In Hargeon Town…..-

Natsu, Shiro and everyone else had arrived at the port town…

Lucy walked by the docks and immediately talked about getting a boat.

This caused Natsu to cringe in fear screaming, "What? No no no We're gonna swim to the Island". Shiro smacked Natsu Outside the head, "You know damn well that blonde can't swim that long. Sure me, you and Sayla could make it, but not Lucy." Lucy took offense and attempted to hit Shiro, but stopped once she saw the glare Sayla sent her. The group continued to look for someone to take them to the island but every person rejected them.

Natsu smiled brightly, "Well looks like we're swimming…." Lucy turned to yell at Natsu until they both felt the something cold on their shoulders…..well Lucy did.

"Found ya….." The voice was none other than Gray Fullbuster, who was surprisingly fully clothed.

"Gray! What are you doing here?!" Natsu and Lucy yelled.

"Ain't it obvious? Gramps ordered me to bring you all back." Gray said looking at the group. Natsu was shocked that they were caught so quickly, but was very adamant about going, "I'm not going back!" This caused Gray to yell, "idiot, you do realize what would happen if Erza was to find out about this instead of me?" Natsu, Lucy, and Happy all forwarded in fear of an Angry Erza Scarlet. Happy even tried to trick Grag into thinking that he was innocent and was forced into this, but Gray didn't believe anything he said.

Shiro walked over along with Sayla and Kurona on his head. "Gray you know he's still gonna go." Natsu then yelled, "Yeah! I'm going on this S-class quest Gray!" Gray then got in Natsu's face and said, "This is a direct order from our master. You're coming back with me even if I have to drag you back." Natsu and Gray both activated their magic and this caught he eye of a sailor who just so happen to be in front of them. "Magic? Wait, are you all wizards? Do you plan to break the curse?" The sailor asked.

The whole grouped nodded before the sailors pointed to his boat. "Come on and get in I'll take you to Galuna Island." Natsu was so happy, "Really you'll take us? Thanks!" He exclaimed. Gray had to stop him however saying, "Hold it! You are going anywhere!" He yelled before he was knocked out by Shiro. Shiro looked at the group and said, "Simple Problem, Simple Solution"

Natsu nodded, "yea, if he goes back to the guild then Erza is gonna come after us!"

The group along with a ko'd Gray set off for Galuna Island.

While in the boat, Ntaus was hung over the side so he could puke if needed, Shiro was barely sleeping on Sayla's chest, which Sayla didn't mind one bit. Gray was tied up but he was upright so he could look somewhat decent and won't be able to strip.

Gray looked at the sleeping dragonslayer, "Dammit did you have to hit me that hard?" Then he turned his attention to the sailor, "And you! Why did you agree to take them to Galuna Island?" The sailor turned around and said, "My name is Bobo, and I used to live in Galuna Island…. I fled that cursed Island. Just know, if you go there then disaster will befall you all. Can you really lift this curse…this demon curse?" Bobo pulls his brown cloth back to show his black arm that could only be described as demonic. The grouped stared for a moment until they saw an island up ahead. "There it is, Galuna Island…" Bobo said. The group began to look at the mountaintop because for some odd reason, It was glowing. Lucy was the first to speak about the mountain until she realized that Bobo was gone, "Eh? Where did Bobo go?" Gray looked around and noticed that Lucy was right, "He just suddenly disappeared!" The group had little time to worry since the water start to rise and caused Shiro to wake up. The group realized that they were caught in a tsunami! Gray immediately yelled, "Oh Fuck!" With Lucy yelling, "Happy! Kurona! Lift the boat into the air!"

The blue cat simply said, "I can't do that Lucy, plus you make the boat even more heavy than it is." Kurona looked at Lucy and shook her head, "I don't wanna do that, it's too heavy…" The group had choice but to brace for impact with Shiro holding Sayla and Kurona tight, Natsu holding Happy, And Lucy holding on to Gray since no one is left as the wave can crashing down on them destroying the boat and sending them underwater.

Lucy wakes up on a shore to the water, "Huh? Did we get washed up ashore?" She asked looking around. She was somewhat relieved to her a voice that she recognized say, " Yea I looks like we did." Shiro said stand up from a tree with Sayla in his arms and Kurona on his head" Sayla looked down and held on to Shiro, "Can we go back down now?" Shiro nodded and hopped down from the tree and land smoothly and puts Sayla down. Natsu popped up from the sand along with Happy yelling, "Let's go Exploring!" With Happy adding, "Aye sir!" Shiro then hit Natsu in the back of the head, "You idiot, that's not important, we have a job to do." Lucy nodded and pulled out the request from between her breasts and read it. "It looks like we need to find the village and chief since he is our client. Natsu smiled at Lucy, " come on let's go!"

This was short lived when they noticed that Gray had gotten up and said, "Hold up for a second." Natsu was annoyed at Grays attempts to drag them back, "give it up man, the boats busted so you can't drag us back." Gray smirked, " Who's gonna drag you back?, I'm going with you. I can't let You and Shiro, and Sayla to beat me to S-class. Beside it would be pretty boring if you get kicked out." Lucy stood there thinking, "what about me?" But no one paid her any mind. Natsu smirked and Gray stood up completely and join the group in the search of the one and only village on Galuna Island.

….Hours Later….

The group now stood in from a large wooden gate that had one sign reading, "Keep Out". The group questioned what to do until early Lucy asked, "Excuse me, Can you open up?" A male leaned over the edge to see them and asked?, "what are you doing here?" Lucy explained about how that they were from Fairy Tail, however the male yelled that they never received notice about the job being taken. Gray used quick thinking and said, "They're must have been a mix up with the paperwork." The male nodded and then yelled, "show us your guild marks" . Gray lifted his shirt to show his on his chest, Natsu flashed his right shoulder, while Shiro flashed his left, and the cats flashed their backs. Lucy put her hand in the air, and Sayla moved her kimono just enough for them to see her mark, but it didn't save the guy from having a nosebleed and yelling, "Open the gate!" The wooden gates opened and allowed the group entry.

The group walked in to se a large group of people all where brown cloths. The one in the middle held a staff that said that he's was the chief. The chief stepped forward, "Let's get down to business, Show them everyone…" The chief said. At his word all the villagers took the cloths off to review each have a demon like appendage. Well the chief also had so long as hell sideburns.

"Everything on this is a land is affected by the curse, even the animals." The chief said. Gray decided to cut him off right there by asking, " what make you think it's a curse? Couldn't it be a contagious disease?" The chief nodded before saying, "Yes, but we have consulted many doctors and all of them say that there is not disease that could cause this." Gray nodded in understanding.

Sayla observed the villagers and wondered, "Excuse me? Would this mean that I'm cursed too?" She asked making her horns appear. The villagers looked shocked at Sayla. The chief examined Sayla, "Maybe you are, however this curse only affects natural born citizens of Galuna who have been here for years…also we would recognize your face if you were born here. I'm sorry young one." Sayla nodded in understanding but was a little sad. Shiro picked up on the and hugged Sayla trying to comfort her.

The chief continued, "This curse involves the moons magic. This island, Galuna, has absorbed moonlight since ancient times…it made the entire island shine…but years ago…the moon suddenly turn purple." Happy looked up and pointed, "Look the moon's coming out from behind thoses clouds!" This caused everyone to look up and see the moon was indeed purple. At the sight of the moon, the citizens all turn to demons. Lucy look surprised, "What is this?!" Natsu also was surprised, "What the hell?" Gray and Shiro just stared calmly. "You guys look so cool!" Natsu screamed before Shiro hit him in the head again, "Read the situation…dumbass" Shiro said to the pink haired teen.

Kurona watched from Shiro's head, "Now this is really creepy." She said while eating a peach.

"Aye" Happy said. The chief spoke again, "This only happens when the purple moon is out and we all go back to normal in the morning…But some of us down change back and loss our minds. Ever since we made that rule…to kill those who don't turn back…" He said with the other villagers tearing up. Natsu seemed furious at hearing that they kills their own people. "You killed them!" The chief immediately yelled, "We had no choice…we can't allow them kill us and even when we captured them, they just break out again and again." The chief took a picture, "A a result, I had to kill my own son…my son whose mind became that of a demon…..".

Lucy looked at the picture, "but wait that's…" She was cut off by Gray, "shh…I think the reason he disappeared was…because he couldn't rest in peace." Lucy stared at Gray with wide eyes, "A ghost?"

The chief continued, " Please help us…..it's only a matter of time before we all turn into murdering demons…..Please save this Island!" He said with tears flowing from his eyes.

"Don't worry old man" Shiro said smiling. Everyone looks at him and wondered why. "Let me tell you something. We're Fairy Tail, so don't worry. We'll figure it out ain't that right guys?" Shiro said smiling st his companions.

"Aye" they all said except Sayla who just hugged Shiro tighter.

The chief then said something completely left field, " the only way to lift the curse…..is to Destroy the Moon…."

Later On…..

The group had settled into two different huts, Natsu, Gray, Happy, and Lucy in one.

Shiro, Sayla, and Kurona in the other. The group decide that there should be another way to break the curse besides destroying the goddamn moon and decided to investigate tomorrow morning.

Natsu and Gray easily fell asleep and Lucy was forced to sleep between them until she heard them snore…loudly… " how can I sleep between this beast and a pervert?!" She yelled. "Maybe I can go and stay in Shiro' hut with Sayla?" She thought as she grabbed her bag and walked over to where they were. She slowly opens the door only to see, Sayla who wasn't wearing her kimono straddling Shiro who had no shirt on and Sayla sleeping on his chest as leaned against the wall with a pillow.

Lucy stared for a few seconds before settling in, "That's looks so wrong in so many way…." She said before going to sleep.

-The Next Morning…..-

Natsu and Gray woke up and couldn't find Lucy so they went out looking for her and where was their first choice…of course Shiro's hut.

Natsu open the door, "Yo Shiro! Have you seen…" He said before both he, Gray and Happy stopped. Well yea Lucy was right there. But that's not what they were looking at. They were looking at the scen of a nude Sayla and shirt Shiro sleeping together. "Uhh what the hell is going on? Who opened the door?" The groggy voice of Shiro said as he opened one of his eyes. "What the hell? When'd the hell you get here blonde? And why are you here in the first place?" He asked. Lucy explained how Noisy Natsu and Gray was, but that didn't help as to why she came to his hut in the first place.

The group all woke up and got ready to investigate and set off into the forests.

Natsu and Gray groaned, " It's too early….Way to early to get up"

Lucy told them to shut up and grabbed a silver gate key and chanted, "Open, Gate of the Clock Constellation! Horologium!" A grandfather clock appeared with Lucy safely inside it."

"We have to find a way to lift the curse with out destroying the moon" Gray says. "Besides we can't do it." Natsu interjects saying that we can destroy it. Gray stops him by talking about the moon viewing festivals. Natsu realizes this and remembers how much he loves the steaks at the moon festival and in Happy's case, salted fish. "You are all idiots. She says" Horologium says. Shiro looks back at Lucy. "You do realize that you don't need the damn clock right?" He says. "I don't care! Curses are scary! She yells excessively" Horologium said. Shiro sighs and continues to walk with Sayla on his left and Kurona on his head.

The group continued untold a large shadow came over them. "What the hell?" Shiro asked.

All they saw a gleam before it breathed some smelly gas at them causing Shiro and Natsu to hold their noses and knee slightly. "What's wrong with you two?" Gray asked. Kurona was the one to answer. " her breath, it's affect them more that normal people so it's stinks even worse."

The Thing which turned out to be a giant blue rat started to chased the group until Gray made it slip and fall using Ice-Make: Floor.

Sayla look at the rat while Natsu and Gray beat it up. "There's a building over there. Let's go look inside." She said. Shiro agreed with her idea and everyone else followed.

They all walk inside to see what seems to be an ancient temple. It was covered with Moon emblems and other stuff of that nature. "Moon Temple, Moon emblems," Lucy said. Gray spoke up next, "this place was once called the island of the Moon" he stated. "This all has to mean something…." Sayla said.

Natsu looked at the floor, "Man this place is falling apart is the floor even safe?" He asked while tapping the floor. Of course this make the floor crack and collapse bring down everyone with it. "Natsu you idiot!" Gray and Lucy yelled as Shiro grabbed Sayla and wrapped himself around her to take the blunt of the fall. *BOOOOM!*

"Everyone?! Are you all okay?" Natsu asked pushing some rubble off of himself. "No! And it's your fault!" She yelled. " Why don't you think about the consequences you dumbass!" Gray yelled. Shiro pushed some rubble off himself to reveal that He, Sayla, and Kurona were fine. "Fuck you Natsu you flaming asshole!" Shiro yelled. Everyone was present and accounted for and they decided since that can't get back up that they would have to find another way out.

"Let's go exploring!" Natsu you once again going into the cave. "Whoa…" The slightly distant voice of Natsu could be heard. The group went toward Natsu only to see what he saw. A giant fucking monster frozen in ice! Gray specifically was feeling something he had felt in a long time since that day. Serious Fear… "How the hell is that thing here?!" Gray screamed. " you know this thing? Calm down Gray and tell us What is that?" Lucy asked….

Gray choked out its name, "It's…It's Deliora….The Demon of Destruction" Gray then said, "But it looks exactly as the same as then, but how is that possible?" Not only Gray was feeling weird, even Sayla was staring at it, for some reason the thing seemed familiar. Shiro stared until his ears picked up movement. "Guys hide!" He quietly yelled and everyone dove behind some rocks.

Two people walked into the area. One looked like a dog person who wore blue jeans and no shirt while the other wore green coat and had blue hair and large eyebrows but not as big as Guy-sensei or Rock Lee, but still big. "This is where the voices were coming from." The guy with the eyebrows said looking around. His dog like companion groaned, "It's daytime. I'm sleepy…"

The eyebrow guy spoke again, "Toby. Have you been soaking in the Moon Drip? You have ears and stuff." The now named Toby barked yelling, "No! These are decorations! Get it through your head!" The eyebrow guys spoke once more, "I was only teasing you, idiot."

Shiro peaked from behind the rocks, "Moon Drip?...is that what's causing the curse?" He thought but he had to duck back begin the rock as a new person walked in. It was a woman with dark pink hair or magenta, wearing a black dress, came in and said, "Yuka, Toby, I have bad news." The eyebrow teen was apparently named Yuka. Toby waved to the girl, "Hi Sherry. What's the matter?" In a way a dog would.

Sherry looked sad and said, "Someone beat Angelica up." Hearing this caused Toby to yell, " It's just a dumb rat! Don't give it a deluxe name like that!" Toby's statement made Sherry respond saying, " She isn't a rat! Angelica is a hunter that races through the darkness…and…Love!" She said happily.

Lucy liked over the rocks, "Talk about a serious weirdo. Especially with the last thing she said." Natsu titled his head slightly, " they aren't from this island, they smell different." Happy then added, " they don't look cursed either." The group continued to wait until they started talking again.

"Intruders, huh?" Yuka said. Sherry sighed saying, " just when the moons light is almost gathered, too. How sad. Let's get rid of the intruders before the Cold Emperor hears of before the moon shows itself." Yuka nods his head agreeing, "Yeah…." Toby just growled like a dog. Sherry continued, " Now that they have seen Deliora, we can't let them leave alive. We will give the intruders enternal sleep…in other words…Love." Toby look at her and corrects her, "You mean death." Before they can continue, the heat the noise of a rocks moving.

Believing that it may be the I strudels trying to run, they all head in that direction leaving that part of the cave.

"Good work." Lucy said. "Aye!" Happy replied. Natsu stood up and said, " we should have caught them and interrogated them." Shiro also stood, " I'm with Natsu on that one." Sayla stood and said, " I believe that it would be best to gather more information before doing something rash."

Gray looked at the frozen monster, " Why did they beefing him here?, how did they even know where he was sealed?". "What do you mean?" Lucy asked curious about Gray's know keypad the subject. "This thing was sealed in an iceberg in a northern continent. Deliora is an immortal demon that ravaged the Isvan region 10 years ago, until the person that taught me magic, Master Ur. She had gave up everything to seal it away. I don't know how it deals with this island's curse, but it doesn't belong here!" Gray magic flares up in his right hand swirls around ice and cold energy. "Who are you?...Cold Emperor…..You'll have hell to pay for trying to tarnish my Master Ur's name!" He declared with authority.
