Thanks for the reviews and feel free to ask questions and make suggestions.

I'm the one and ONLY GRAY FULLBUSTER

"AAAAAAHHHHHHH!" A column of fire could be seen for miles. The origin of the great blaze was none other than fairy tail's own Natsu Dragneel using the power of his dragon force. "Stupid droopy eyes where the hell did you go!" Natsu shouted while frantically looking around with an enraged look on his face. "Can you keep it down, idiot" Natsu shifted his gaze to the speaker and noticed Cana, Lucy and Juvia standing there.

This time it was Lucy who spoke up "Come on Natsu we've been waiting for you to get up for hours. Cana was able to place a tracking spell on that guy that beat you."

"WHAT. WHO SAID I WAS BEATEN!"

They gave him what would best be described as an 'ah duh' look. But Natsu was too riled up to notice. "Well let's get going then. What are we waiting around for?" This time it was Juvia who decided to speak up. "We can't go because the course that man is taking leads straight to the town, Deliora." New Deliora is a town under reconstruction. It is situated in the cold mountainous lands of old Ishvan. It was so named as a sign of a new beginning for those who chose to settle in those lands. The land was long forgotten due to its dark history having been previously destroyed by none under than the Demon of Destruction. Many of the survivors had desired to reclaim their homelands but in the years of disuse a large amount of dangerous magical beast had claimed the towns as their territories. Until recently it had seemed impossible that is until he appeared. He's described as an exorcist and also as a demon. With his fearsome might he was single handily able to conquer all the beast territories. Those who witnessed the event hailed as 'The Calamity' cause nothing was left standing in his wake.

This man a kin to a calamity was also the reason why the girls were weary of going to Deliora. It was well known that any unwelcomed wizard that set foot in his territory would either never turn up again or come back with tales of seeing a great demon. They were even more reluctant if the Gray lookalike had anything to do with him (they would soon realise they were right to be scared.

"Who cares? If our friends there we just have to go bring him back." With that he gave them one of his famous wide toothy grins and they all couldn't help but return. They set off at a brisk pace with Cana in the lead. They were on their way to Deliora.

City Deliora

The white haired boy was in the middle of a conversation with his blonde friend then suddenly said he had to leave. "Huh why", he responded "Nothing special just have to go collect my other self, later." He waved goodbye and took his leave.

He made his way to a clearing and came face to face with a raven haired muscular man.

He began to speak "Took you long enough, don't you know we'll both die if we stay away from each other for too long".

"Yea yea. It couldn't be helped. I mean what did you expect? Using a spell of this level just to deliver a message to your old friends."

"Don't give me that. I would think the physical manifestation of my magic would be more reliable than this. To think you let two groups follow you." He let out a sigh.

"Like I said it couldn't be helped I ran into a pretty strong guy that wouldn't let me get away. The guy went as far as to put this scar on my back so he could track me down. Getting away would've been easy but then I had to use up a lot of magic to save these two little fairies. Then your old friends just had to come and get involved. That stupid sword guy was able to catch up with me thanks to them and I was way too stressed out to deal with him so I just headed hair. And it seems he's pretty close."

"Whatever someone of his level won't be a match for the calamity. Now return to me Maou Daedalous" with those words the raven haired boy turned into a large serpentine like creature made of what for lack of a better phrase blue flames. But instead of releasing heat everything in the surrounding area became glazed in ice that glistened like diamonds. The demonic looking spectral serpent lunged at the white haired boy who simply raised his right hand. Upon contact with his palm the serpent seemed to be sucked into his body until it was all gone. Standing now in the centre of the frost covered woods was the well toned white haired young man but with some significant differences. Firstly his right hand now bore the tattoo of the other young man. Secondly his hair was now as black as the midnight sky also his eye's pigment became a dark blue. Finally he now possessed an otherworldly aura about him.

"You can come out you know. I think we both know I'm your target."

Out of the shadows stepped a man clad in golden armour with a huge bastard sword on hanging at his side. The sword was huge but it seemed to be of normal size as the man was at least two heads taller than the young man. He had long blond hair and seemed to radiate the stature of a noble.

"I ran into that thing by accident and sensed its strength. I marked it so I could face it later as a test of my abilities. But… I see now I was wrong he was but a portion of your might, Calamity King. I seek your death and to be king of these lands. I am Arthur Pendragon and I ask of you your name."

"Me, huh. I'm the one and only Gray Fullbuster, and it sounds to me like all your seeking is a beat down and I'll be happy to oblige. All you'll ever be king of is an icy grave."
