"Uughh, Where are we?" Natsu questiond outloud as he came to. He looked around to found that he was in an unfamiliar town. There were mostly small brick houses that had Chimney's with smoke coming out of them. There were lights on in the houses but the curtains were closed covering the view inside making the lights dim. There was also a lot of snow but it was strange because he wasn't actually cold. Natsu turned around to look at the rest of the town. He saw a large bricked bell tower in the middle of the town. The bell was golden like a sunset.
"Uum, i'm not so sure." Lucy replied sotting up while rubbing her head.
"Yeah, i've never seen this place before." Happy agreed pulling himself out of the snow. He activated his magic and flew onto Natsu's shoulder. Natsu stood up and brushed the snow of his pants.
"Hey, you guys? Where's Gray gone?" Lucy asked. She looked atound to try and find him but couldn't see anyone.
"Oh great!" Natsu sighed and looked around.
"Man, this place is just like a ghost town." Natsu said.
"Aye. Where is everyone anyway?" Happy asked curiously.
"Probably inside." Lucy replied. It was only a few more seconda when they heard like someone was stomping. They turned and saw Gray.
Lucy looked at him confused. There was something different about him. For one thing he was angry for some reason, and secondly his white coat was orange.
"Alright, Natsu! It's time to settle this once and for all!" Gray suddenly shouted pointing at Natsu, who looked bewildered by the sudden outburst.
"This time, i'm finally going to beat you." He declared. Natsu's expression changed from confused to a grin.
"Oh Please, as if Snowflake. Alright let's do this!" Natsu three his hands together and fire came out of them.
"Guys, come on, this isn't the time. We need to find a way out of here, and Gray what happened to you're clothes?" Lucy asked. The two boys stopped their fight to look at her.
"What do you mean Lucy? This is what I normally wear." He asked. Natsu looked at his coat confused then was shocked to find that it was orange.
"What!"
"And you guys call me the pervert." Gray said and Lucy looked embarrassed.
"Er, it's nothing like that." Lucy said. "I just saw it and er... Uhhh, do you know where we are or how to get out of here?" She asked, quickly changing the subject.
"Lucy? If we don't know than how is ice princess going to know?" Natsu asked.
"Uuhh-"
"Because unlike you Natsu i'm not an idiot, I know where we are." Gray replied, giving Natsu a glare.
"Oh yeah? Than where are we smart ass."
"Where in Isvan, Flamebrain." Gray replied as if it was obvious. Lucy, Happy, and Natsu were confused.
"Isvan?" Happy asked.
"Isn't Isvan your hometown?" Lucy asked, looking around. Gray nodded.
"Didn't you say that Isvan got destroyed by-"
"By Deliora, yes." He cut off Natsu. Hray clenched his hands into fists and started walking to the direction where the bell tower was.
"Then how are we hear?" Lucy wuestioned but Gray completely ignored her and continued talking.
"Uuugh, stupid Deliora." Gray grumbled. The others started following behind giving eaeachother confused looks.
"He just had to go and destroy my hometown, didn't he? " He asked no one in particular. It seems that he was lost in his own little world.
"First he killed my parents and my friends, then My Master- well to be fair that was my fault. I just had to go after him didn't I." He lapsed into silence for a moment then Lucy spoke up, concern written all over her face.
"You didn't-" She tried.
"Please, don't tell me it wasn't my fault. I know it was. But don't worry i'm still not brooding over it any more because that's what a fairytail is being all about. You have to give smiles and move on, like there's nothing wrong at all. Man, that's so stupid, you know." At this Natsu snapped. He ran up to Gray and punched him in the face. Gray toppled onto the ground and looked up to seee Natsus saring at him angrily.
"What's gotten into you? Huh?" He asked approaching Gray and grabbed Gray by his necklace, since he lost his coat while walking.
"Listen, I don't know what your problem is at the moment but do not diss Fairytail! Now what has gotten into you, Pervet popsicle?" He asked, releasing Gray.
"Nothing, this is how I always act." He replied.
"What?"
"Sure, you're kind of grumpy sometimes but you'll never say anything bad about Fairytail, Gray." Happy said flying up to him.
"Ok, i'm sorry about what I said about Fairytail, I didn't mean it. Sometimes when i'm really worked up I tend to say disrespectful things about it. I don't mean any of what I say about Fairytail. Alright?" The others nodded.
"I'm glad to hear it, but still you don't always have to put on a smile if you're feeling down Gray, if you're upset you can come to us." The ice mage nodded.
"I know, but I like seeing you all happy." He said with a smile but then shook himself off and the angry expression came back. He muttered something saying that, that was not supposed to happen. Lucy and Happy missed but with Natsu's dragon hearing, he was able to just hear it.
"What was that?" Gray shook his head.
"Nothing flamebrain. Anyways this is the way out." He pointed down the road.
Natsu, Lucy, and Happy looked. Happy looked back to where Gray was to find that he wasn't there.
"Gaah! He's gone!" Happy yelled.
"What! But he was just hear." Lucy exlaimed.
"Maybe, he already went through?" Natsu tried.
"But we would be able to still see him." Lucy explained.
"Maybe it's one of those invisible barriers or something?" Happy tried.
"Let's go find out." Natsu said and walked to where Natsu pointed and Lucy and Happy followed.
