Gajeel had woken up in a tree somehow; he looked around and saw a panther staring at him with big eyes.

"WOAH. WHAT THE HELL?!" Gajeel was still trying to process everything in his mind but kept getting distracted by the big black cat staring at him and swishing his tail back and forth.

"GROWL" Gajeel stared into the mouth of the cat as it yawned. The cat sat up and jumped down to the ground and just sat there once again. Gajeel soon followed.

"So you're telling me that a cat saved me." The cat nodded.

"Great this is going to be the laughing stock." The cat tilted its head trying to figure out what he meant.

"Its gunner be like, hey did you hear that the big and tough Gajeel got saved by a..." He stopped and just stared at the thing as he still had his hands in the air over doing it.

"Can you understand me?" the panther nodded and grind at Gajeel.

"Ghehehehehe. This is going to be goooood"

Erza had been worried about Lucy for a while now; she had been acting weird ever since she came back from finding that boy. Levy shared the same feeling but decided not to say anything.

"Elfman I need that wood to be nice and strong." Lucy said as she was looking down at her map, she wanted to know why they had markings on them. Loki walked over and was about to wrap his arms around her waist but soon stopped.

"Don't even think about it." She turned her head to see a surprised orange haired boy with his arms wide opened.

"Hey lu-chan where do you want all these bananas?" Levy said struggling to hold them all.

"In them crates there." She pointed over to wooden crates she made earlier. Erza walked over to Lucy and looked down at the map she was glued to.

"What's this?"

"OH. Erza you scared me. This is a map I found back there."

"Yeah so" Erza leaned down on the table and looked at the rotten thing.

"It has all these marking on it and I'm wondering if it has anything to do with their locations, so" Lucy looked up to Erza hopping she caught on.

"So, you plan to go to each one and either destroys them or..."

"Find him." Lucy rolled up the map and stuck it into her pocket; she still had the guard's uniform on but added her own style to it. She ripped the legs so they were shorts and you could see the black boots that went to just below the knee, ripped the top half of the sleeves and unzipped the front so you could see her cleavage.

She walked over to where Elfman was.

"Find who lucy?"

"The man who thought it would be funny to destroy my life, but I have to give him credit because if he hadn't done this I could never meet you guys or be able to kick his ass."

"I get that but why all this stuff?" Lucy held out her hand for Erza to walk on. Once she was on the other side of the trees she could see Elfman and something huge and made of wood.

"They took all the boats so we had to build our own" Erza crossed her arms and smirked at Lucy. Levy soon joined them along with Loki who was carrying some of the crates while Levy was carrying the rest.

"Natsu-san get down from their" Wendy called up to the pinkette in the tree.

"Wendy he will come down later don't worry." She looked over to Mira and then back up to Natsu in the tree. Natsu kept climbing trees trying to see if he could see either Gray or Gajeel.

"WHERE ARE THEY!?" At this moment he was getting quite impatient. He had been searching for them for nearly 30 minutes now.

"OVER HERE!" wend called pointing to a bunch of trees. Natsu soon came out of the tree (more like fell out) and ran over to the blue haired girl along with Mira-jane.

"HEY STAPLES WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?" Natsu stomped up to him but soon backed away when a big panther came out growling at him.

"He's all yours" Natsu said as he raised his hands looking like he surrendered.

"Ghehehehehe"

"Okay so we know Gajeel is okay now all we need to do is find Gray" Mira said holding her chin. Wendy looked around trying to see if he was around her like Gajeel was but now he wasn't.

"Meanwhile over in a village on the other side of the island, Gray was still sleeping.

"When will he wake up?"

"Don't know but I hope soon"

"Look he's so cute when he sleeps"

"SSSHHH he's waking up"

He woke up with a bunch of girls staring at him.

"AAAAHHHH" He jumped up checking that he still had his clothes on and where he was.

"Where am I?" He said

"Well you in our village"

"I saw you on the beach"

"Well I suggested we carry him in" soon all the girls were arguing about what they did.

"Juvia cleaned you up" soon the girls calmed down and started whispering about the strange girl.

"Oh great the rain cloud" –"she always gloomy" – "What's she doing here?"

"Juvia wants to know your name"

"Its Gray" as if that had answered everything. Her heart was beating so loud and you could practically see hearts in her eyes. Gray noticed that he was in different clothes.

"WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CLOTHES?!"

"Juvia changed them because your other ones where all ripped" A hint of red came upon her face. Gray was about to say something when a huge man came in and all the girls ran out.

"Welcome to our humble village" he somewhat jolly, maybe a little too jolly.

"I need to get back to my friends."

"You can't leave yet. We need to thank you"

"What for? I haven't don't anything"

"Oh but you have. The gods said that one day there will be a boy washed up on shore and he will be the answers to our prayers"

"How am I going to do that" and as he said that it was like all the jolly had vanished.

"You are the sacrifice to the beasts so they won't attack out village" Grays faces went pale as he said that, he looked over to the woman holding a umbrella and wearing blue. She nodded but didn't look to happy about it.

"Tonight we light the fire and leave you to hang over it and let the viscous beast take you away."
