Hey, fairy tail fans, and welcome back to a fairy tail re-told; the Avatar arc continues as Mira leads Fairy tail and Rogue and Minerva into battle against the dark Cult Avatar, who has since come to replace Grimoire Heart as the current dark threat and will our heroes be able to stop these new foes and figure out why Gray has joined them. Find out now on a fairy tail re-told.

Now the journey continues.


"So, how are you going to get in": Minerva asked. "We could knock."

"I could sneak in using the shadows," Rogue said.

"We should rush in," Juvia shouted. "My love is in there," she screamed as she tried to run, as Lucy grabbed her.

"We don't know how many dark cultists are in there." Lucy said, "And we sure as hell don't want half an army charging at us," Lucy said, "So I have a better idea" Lucy smiled. "I'll call Virgo, and she can do some digging" She smiled as she waved her key. In the air, "Come on, Virgo," Lucy shouted as Virgo appeared on the ground tied up, shocking everyone there as Rogue covered Frosh's eyes.

"Lucy, what the hell" Juvia shouted.

"Virgo, are you okay," Mira asked.

"Oh, don't mind me," Virgo said as she stood up, the rope effortlessly falling off. "I was bored, so I figured I'd punish myself," she smiled. "Is there something you need, princess?"

"Lucy, no offense, but I don't understand your spirits at all," Minerva muttered.


Avatar arc: The Purification plan


"Alright, let's do this, Virgo," Lucy said as a light shined around her "{Star dress: Virgo form"}" Lucy said as she started to an appearance like Virgo. It is lacking the entire shoulder and most of the upper arms, and the apron is now a pattern on the front of the dress; Lucy also receives a frillier version of Virgo's headpiece and still has Virgo's collar, albeit with the strings that are on Virgo's headpiece tied in a bow knot around it. She also bares Virgo's Zodiac sign on her right shoulder.

"since when could you do that," Juvia asked.

"this form grant princess all my abilities and even boost her sex appeal," Virgo informed them.

"Alright, Virgo, let's go," Lucy shouted.

"I live to serve, princess," Virgo said as she tunneled into the ground, taking them into a cellar in the building that Avatar used as a base. "We're in, princess."

"Good"

"what do you think they use this for," Mira asked.

"if you ask me," Minerva said, "torture."

"GRAY" Juvia shouted, "WHERE ARE YOU, MY LOVE."

"Juvia," Lucy and Mira called.

Juvia's voice echoed through the halls as everyone in the base heard her voice. "I don't recognize that voice," Jerome said, "we have intruders."

"it was from inside the church," D-6 said.

"Finally, some fun," Abel said.

"Juvia, we were supposed to be silent," Lucy shouted. "Why would you do that."

"Because Gray is here," Juvia shouted.

"I smell someone that reminds me of Gray," Rogue said.

"so, no more need for stealth, right."

"Princess, this calls for punishment," Virgo said. "Please use this on me. I promise to behave."

"now is not the time," Lucy shouted at her spirit.

"so why are you in our hideout" a voice called as they looked up to see Abel playing with a Mr. Cursey doll" he smiled. "Do you want to play?"

"wait, I know that doll." Lucy shouted, "That Mr. Cursey, the doll that Kain used against Cana and me back on Tenrou."

"yep," Abel said, "I stole it after Master Alok killed him" he laughed. "It brings me all sorts of fun," he smiled.

"what is it," Minerva asked.

"Happy called it death curse magic," Lucy said. "It's one of the seven original lost magics."

"lost magic," Rogue asked. "To think a cult would have that kind of power."

Mira said nothing as she walked up to him before simply chopping him on the back of the head, slamming him into the ground with a large du, shocking everyone.

"yeah, but we have Mira," Juvia laughed.


[## Tempester the immortal ost##]


"Abel," a voice called. They turned to see Gômon running into the room. "How dare you? Your intrusion has me bubbling with rage," he screamed. "Now I will show you the magic of cruelty," he called as he moved all the torture devices around the room. "tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea."

"I'm thirsty for punishment," Virgo moaned out.

"that is not a good thing," she shouted as Gômon attacked Mira, who jumped out of the way. "Don't get any funny ideas," Lucy called.

"take the iron dragon," Gômon shouted.

"I take that as an insult," Rogue shouted as he turned into a shadow. "Get out of my face {Shadow dragon: slash}," he screamed.

"Now you face me," D-6 shouted as Minerva kicked him in the face sending him into the wall.

"is this all?"

"I have a hard time accepting this," Gômon muttered. "We're the top wizards in this cult," he muttered. "How are you doing this."

"you simply out of your league," a voice called. They turned to see Gray walking down the stairs with a dark smile. "This is fairy tail, and while I might no longer be a member, their leftovers are no pushovers," he smiled. "And this I sone the top guilds, Sabertooth," he laughed. "Of course, the only reason they're at the top is cause Lamia scale goes easy on me."

"Oh, okay, that's it," Minerva shouted before she was frozen solid.

"Milady," Rogue shouted. "Frosh, stay behind me," Rogue shouted.

"Gray, stop this." Juvia shouted, "Whatever is going on? Please let me," Juvia stopped clutching her stomach, falling to the ground. "Why does Juvia's stomach hurt."

"Juvia," Lucy shouted. Before she, too, fell to the ground,

"Am I interrupting something" Mary called as she leaned against a wall. "Man, I can see what you mean," she laughed. "These guys are totally weak."

"Lucy Juvia," Mira called. "Let them go," she shouted before chains wrapped around her. "What is this" she screamed as her body reverted to normal 'these chains must block magic power."

"Mira, hold on," Rogue shouted.

"I would stop," Jerome called, holding Frosh at sword point. "I would stand down," he said.

"Even with the help of Sabertooth," Gray laughed, "your nothing but pathic weakling," he said. "Your emotions are what hold you back," he said. "Now I understand what Ultear was going on about," he smiled. "How much fun the dark is," he said, "and in the end," Gray laughed.

"you're all going to die."


Sting sighed as he stood at a cliff sighed. "Why does Rogue get to work with Fairy tail" he growled.

"Oh, calm down, Sting," Yukino told him. "Besides, this is helping them too."

"Man, become guild master, and nobody calls you anymore."

"it is a hard life," a voice called. They turned to see Riana walking up to her. Behind her were Laxus and Levy, who smiled as they stood up. In the background were several members of the magic enforcement unit. "Nice to see you, Sting; Sabertooth is heading this operation."

"yeah," Sting said. "Mira and the others went in but haven't reported yet"

"do you think Gray is in there," Laxus asked. "What could he be doing."

"I don't know," Sting said.

"Will the magic council be able to support us in this," Yukino asked.

"This is all the support we could muster," Riana said. "After Tartaros, most of our resources have gone to reconstruction."

"and the magic council," Yukino asked.

"most of the higher members have reformed the council, but they're still lacking," Riana said. "Not many of us can simply leave behind the lives we have," she said, "though the ten wizards saints are handling all the dealing for the time being."

"It's a lot of paperwork," Laxus muttered." when I agreed to take my grandpa's place, I didn't realize how much work it would be."

"you've done well in his stead Laxus," Riana said, "far more than any new member could attest to" She smiled.

"yeah," Laxus muttered. "Hope the others are okay."


"This stink," Minerva muttered. "How did that low-down cheat get the drop on us."

"His father's magic amplified Gray's ice magic," Mira said as she let out a breath of air, "but something doesn't add up" Mira scratched her chin. "Why would he mention Ultear of all people."

"Zeref killed her," a voice called Gômon appeared in front of the cell as he bowed in front of them." his magic has consumed him," he laughed, "and now he is our ally," he said, "tell me chosen daughter, how does it feel to know you lost your ally."

"oh, not the first time I've been betrayed," Mira muttered. "What are you planning?

"his grace is planning a purification ritual," Gômon said, "to cleanse the land and summon the mighty Zeref," he explained, "but that doesn't concern you. Tell me who sent you," he said. "We know the magic council knows about our plans, but we don't know who the mole is," he smiled. "Tell me, or you will face my cruelty."

"Great more tea puns"

"Nah," Mira muttered.

"I know there is nothing I can do to you," he said, but your friend said as he grabbed Lucy in his chains.

"he's using torture devices," Minerva muttered.

"Lucy" Juvia shouted as she planted her on the wall. "Let her go."

"then tell me what I want" he was stopped when the whole place iced over, freezing him solidly. As everyone looked, Gray appeared in the room smiling.

"took you long enough," Mira said as the chains she was in froze and broke. "Bringing up Ultear was not cleaver, but I figured it out in time."

"yeah, sorry about that," Gray muttered as the black marking on him faded. "I should have told you I was leaving, but."

"but nothing, mister," Mira said. "You could have at least sent Juvia to us. She was waiting in that run-down village for you for months."

"it happened suddenly," Gray argued.

"Oh, Gray," Juvia shouted. Once she was free, she then ran to hug him. "I'm not mad."

"I'm glad," Gray muttered, "but still, I'll make it up to you. I promise."

"you'd better," Mira growled. "But why are you here."

"Yeah, you just don't drop off the face of the earth and not give us an explanation," Lucy shouted. "At least leave a note."

"we'll. It looks like you all had nothing to worry about," Minerva said. "Frosh came out of this just fine."

"we're not out of this mess yet," Lucy said. "That girl with the cat ears," Lucy shivered. "She has some sort of blood magic."

"well, together, we should be able to handle them," Minerva smiled. "Right, Gray, or were you telling the truth at that part too."

"you can tear into him later, guys," Mira said. "Right now, I want to stop Avatar; we came this far."

"Mira," Gray said, "you should also know that sprengeri one is back."

"Really," Mira said.

"yeah," Gray said, "and he pulled Levi off this job and put me here."

"But what about your markings," Juvai asked.

"I went to see Porlyusica," Gray said. "Now I can control it a little better," he said. "That, and I had Kinana helping me out." He then pulled out a lacrmia. "Here," he said, "this is still new, but I got one; it has Erza on the other line."

"Erza, she's back," Lucy asked.

"yeah," Gray said, "contacted me a while after I was put on this job," Gray said. "Did something happen?"

"It's just Jellal," Lucy said.

"he's still out," Gray asked.

"yeah," Lucy said.

"Erza," Mira said.

"Mira," Erza said, "I want to apologize about the lack of communication, but I think you."

"blew Gray's cover," Mira laughed. "I know," she said. "Don't worry, we'll clean up our mess," she sighed. "Gray."

"yeah," he said.

"explain on the way," Mira said, "everyone good."

"yeah," Lucy said.

"Juvia is so happy right now," Juvia said.

"This is our job right now," Minerva said.

"Alright, let go," Mira said. "What is Avatar."

"Natsu put out a hit on this group," Gray said. "It was shortly after we returned from the grand magic games," he explained. "About two months ago, I was contacted by Sprengeri once he said that I was to help Sprengeri three with this app," Gray said. "What I found was horrifying," he said. "This group we found was the main base, but their tones of secret braces hidden all over the continent," Gray said, "apparently before coming, a cult Avatar was a dark guild under Grimore heart."

"so even if you took down that group," Mira muttered,

"they probably could have regrouped," Gray said. "Erza then came up with the plan to wait till the day of the purification ritual," he said.

"What is this purification ritual," Juvia asked.

"they plan to cause a massacre," Gray said, "They think it will summon Zeref."

"that's horrible," Frosh muttered.

"yeah," Gray said. "So, we have to stop them," he said.

"alright," Mira said.

"Juvia is in" Juvia said.

"if you guys are going, then I'm going to."

"glad to hear it," Gray said. "Rogue Minerva, what about you two."

"of course," Minerva said.

"we're in this together," Rogue said. "Besides, this is our job," he smiled, "and Sabertooth doesn't walk away."

"Great," Gray said.

"Erza," Mira said, holding up the phone, "how are you doing."

"We can talk later," Erza said. "I'll meet you at the location."

"Understood," Mira said.

"Did something happen," Lucy asked.

"we'll find out later," Mira said. "Right now, get ready for the fight ahead.

"you got it," Lucy said. "Going on a mission like this makes me think of the old days," Lucy said. "There's only one thing to say," she said as everyone smiled.

"I'm all fired up."


"where is Gray" Jerome asked.

"he stayed with Gômon," Briar said.

"suspicious," Jerome muttered.

"Why," Briar asked. "Even if he is a traitor, nearly every member of the Avatar cult has arrived," She smiled. "No guild on the planet could stand up to us," she said, " and master Alok stands atop of us" She smiled. "Don't you see bottom lashes? Even if the stripping ice man or the council came there, nothing they can do."

"I see," Jerome said 'I can live with bottom lashes.'

"I can't wait to have so much fun," Abel said. "Purification" Behind him, D-6 nodded.

"we're like going to meet Zeref totally," Mary said.

"This town is home to thirty thousand innocent souls," Alok shouted, "all of which will be offered to our lord Zeref" he screamed. "The innocence of the souls we harvest will be irresistible," he laughed, "and he will join our feast," he shouted as everyone cheered. "Now go forth and begin the purification ritual," he screamed as his army charged. In front of the gate stood Mira, Gray, Lucy, and Juvia.

"Who do they think they are."

"they'll die like the rest."

"so, Gray, ready to show off all the training you've been doing," Lucy asked.

"you bet."


[## Titania dances ost##]


"Let's go," Lucy shouted "{open gate of the golden bull: Taurus} Lucy shouted as Taurus appeared. "And now {Star dress: Taurus form}"is an outfit consisting of a bra and sleeves with a cow pattern and pants that reveal her right leg entirely. She also wears gloves and boots, a belt where Taurus' Zodiac sign is located, and a bag around her waist. While sporting this dress, she uses her hair in two buns, one at each side of her head, and leaves some hair hanging. Lucy also carries her whip with her in this form "Time to take out the trash."

"wow, even Taurus has a new form," Juvia asked.

"Isn't that just Ezra's trick," Gray asked.

"get ready," Mira said as she took her Satan soul form "{Soul extinction}" she screamed.

"wait, that Fullbuster," Jerome shouted. "I knew it."

"everyone charges," Briar shouted. "They cannot stop us."

"Sir," a cultist said, "a small group of wizards is attacking us from the back."

"what" he screamed as behind them, Erza, Minerva, and Rogue began their assault.

"you wanted purification," Erza shouted.

"so how about we start with you" Minerva shouted.

"take this," Juvia shouted "{water: slicer}" she screamed. "How dare you keep my love away from me" Juvia called as another group was frozen solid.

"take this," Lucy shouted "{earth wave}" she screamed.

"damn it," Jerome shouted. "I'll deal with the rear," Jerome said. "You go deal with the traitor and his friends."

"what is this chick" a cultist shouted as the air blew up around him.

"All that build-up and this is the best you can do," Minerva huffed. "Man, and I thought this would be a challenge."

"{shadow dragon: roar}" Rogue shouted. "So much for being a threat," he smiled. "Let's do this."

"I'm cheering for you, too," Frosh shouted.

"{requip}" Erza shouted as she changed into armor in the form of a beautiful gown, with a hem sprouting from it, being tied with a belt of some sort. The upper part of the dress includes shoulderless sleeves and a flower petal on the user's left hand, while the foot wearing is a pair of knee-high heel boots. In addition, the armor consists of swords used for various purposes, albeit primarily as wings, adding to the peculiarity.

"they're not human," a cultist shouted. "Nothing we fire at these monsters can stop them."

Erza then blocked an attack from Jerome. As she turned to face him, her sword fell apart.

"beautiful and skilled, but any who faces my dark blade will fall," he screamed as Erza vanished, replaced by Rogue, who turned into a shadow.

"so, running away."

"not quite," Erza said as she jumped back. as she swiped the ground, slashing Jerome into the ground. "My sword doesn't need to touch you to hit you."

"what power" Jerome muttered as he passed out.

"is that the elite," Minerva asked.

"he did get the drop on us," Rogue said. "That would take any wizard down."

"in any case," Erza said as she looked at the remaining cultist. "The rest of you better summon all your bravery," she said, "cause I don't want this to end too quickly."

"GRAY!" Briar shouted, "You dirty traitor" She screamed, "How dare you betray us" she called as she fired an attack that Gray dodged. "You lied to us."

"no shit, idiot," Gray shouted. "You'd honestly think I'd associate with a group of whack jobs like you," Gray said, "sure, our dragon layer might be gone, but they weren't fairy tail's strength; even without them, fairy tails can do anything."

"damn you," Briar shouted.

"Umm, Miss Lucy," Taurus muttered, "my tummy hurts."

"huh, what were you hit," Lucy asked.

"no," Taurus muttered, "but I don't think I can fight anymore."

"wait, tummy ache," Lucy muttered 'that's the same thing that happened to me and Juvia, oh no," Lucy muttered as she felt her stomach start to churn "damn it."

"wow," Mary called as she walked up to Lucy. "You guys are so pathetically weak," she laughed. "I don't see why Fairy tail is regarded as a force to be reckoned with."

"you think so," Lucy asked. "Well then, let me show you," she screamed "{earth style: Lucy punch}," she called as she punched Mary in the gut so hard the girl threw up, and she landed on the ground. Lucy sighed. "Much better

"Totally," Taurus said.

"Hey, where's Mira" Lucy asked.

Another Cultist fell to the ground as Mira stood over them. "She's not human," one cried. "She's a monster."

"so, you're their leader," Mira asked as Alok said nothing. "Sorry, but your evil plan is over," she shouted. "Nothing you do will win."

"Oh, but I must confirm, my dear," Alok said. "This all falls into the realm of possibility," he laughed, "And when the ground beneath us starts to shatter, the great god Ikusa-Tsunag shall rise."

"that old myth," Mira asked, but don't worry" Mira smiled as her magic started to leak out. "you're going to be trembling pretty soon."

"I believe you'll be the one trembling," Alok said as he waved his hands. "Now behold the power of a servant of Zeref," he screamed as the sky darkened as a creature appeared. "I summon the Ikusa-Tsunag," he shouted as a colossal, heavily muscular being with black, armor-like skin; his face resembled that of a lion's, jutting out of which (specifically from his cheekbones) two horns that resemble Mirajane's horns from her Sitri Satan Soul, which in and of themselves are eclipsed by bone-like horns that encase the jawline, and travel up the side of the head, of Ikusa-Tsunagi. On his chin is a long, pointed tuft of facial hair that appears to be a goatee and a wild mane of hair just upwards, growing from the top of his down past his clavicle. The Battle God also has pupil-less eyes, black sclera, demonic, clawed hands, and bestial-looking feet.

"the purification has begun."

"what the hell is that thing" Gray shouted.

"that is none of your concern," Briar shouted as she attacked Gray again. "If this one thing I can't stand is a rat," she screamed. "Do you hear me" she called as Gray fired an attack. Briar split in half.

"so that your split image magic," Gray said.

"And I can't believe," Briar shouted, "that I let myself fall in love with you."

"what" Gray muttered 'not again.'

"I knew it," Juvia shouted. "I knew I felt the other presence of women going after my man," she screamed. "Back of he's mine," she cried "{water: claw}" she screamed as she slammed both into the ground knocking them into the ground.

", every time" Gray muttered

"that water wizard took down Briar as if it was nothing," a cult said as gray froze them all.

"Okay, what is that," Gray said.


[##Doujigiri Ezel ost##]


"tremble in fear as the god of war Ikusa-Tsunag," he screamed as Mira remained unmoved. "Now offer your souls to our lord and savior, Zeref," he shouted. "You have given your lives to Zeref, and through your sacrifice, we shall meet our lord, and he will create the world anew," he screamed.

"Grandpa is trying to kill us, too," Mary muttered. "What the hell."

"that thing is terrifying," Gray muttered.

"what is it," Juvia asked.

"It's the Ikusa-Tsunag," Erza said, "one of the eighteen battle gods of Yakuma."

"wait for Minerva," Rogue said. "Can't you use that spell?"

"I can, so we fight their battle god with mine," Minerva said. "Interesting."

"no need," Mira said.

"do you not fear death, child," Alok said. "Then you will be the first to," he stopped when Mira snapped her fingers, and everything turned back to normal "What" Mira laughed. "What happened? I? Did the spell correctly," he asked, "what did you do."

"Oh, nothing," Mira said, "just used some Illusion magic my master taught me" She smiled. "Life-like the right."

"what," Alok said.

"incredible," Gray said.

"I know. I could have sworn that was the battle god," Lucy said. "Just how strong is Mira getting."

"no, you," Alok muttered. "I will not be bested," he screamed as he fired several shots. Mira merely swiped them away. "I will not be bested" he was stopped when Mira slammed him into the ground in her Satan Soul form.

"do us all a favor and shut up," Mira said as Alok passed out.

"that was," Minerva muttered.

"Awesome," Rogue muttered as the remaining members of the Avatar cult started to run away, only to be halted when several members of the rune knights showed up with Laxus at the helm. "Back up, here," Rogue said.

"sorry we're late," Laxus said.

"To think we came all this way because we were worried," Riana said. "I'm starting to think you only value us as a clean-up crew."

"your words, not ours," Mira laughed.

"Gray," Laxus said, "good to see you not among these creeps."

"yeah," Gray said. "Sorry if I caused any trouble," Gray said. "Everything happened so fast I didn't have time to react."

"Well, I'm glad you're still naked," Lucy joked.

"Huh, when did that happen" Gray laughed.

"Hey, Mira," Levy said. "You okay"

"yeah," Mira said, "just glad everyone's still doing okay."

"Hey, as long as you are with us," Levy said.

"how's the magic council," Mira asked.

"things are going fine, and I should be able to leave soon," Levy said, "though there is a lot of paperwork I've got to do."

"Hey, she's got this," Laxus said. "Smartest girl in all of Magnolia."

"And speaking of Magnolia," Mira said, "I heard you know who is back."

"yeah, apparently, his operation finally ended, and Mavis ordered him to shake us up a bit," Levy explained, "he put me on the council to help with rebuilding, then put Gray on the Avatar job."

"on whose orders."

"Mavis," Levy said.

"Master," Mira muttered as she thought about a conversation she had with her before she set out on this job.


[##a new adventure ost##]


"if that is the case," Mira looked over to see Erza, Lucy, Gray, and Juvia interacting. The four turned to wave at her as she smiled at them. "Then we keep moving forward," she said, "when I report to Mavis when I get back."

"come on, Mira," Laxus said as he smiled at her, "let's just calm down on a job well down."

"I guess," Mira said.

"hey Gray, come on, you've been hugging Frosh long enough."

"come on, man, you can't always hog this cutie," Gray shouted.

"Look like Natsu was worried for nothing," Levy said. It all turned out well."

"Still, I can't help but think what would have happened if we didn't come with Gray," Mira said. "But your right."

"Laxus, Captain Levy," a guard said. "we have successfully captured all high members of Avatar," he said. "All stragglers are being rounded up as we speak."

"Thanks," Laxus said.

"We can take it from here," Levy said.

"hey, Levy," Lucy said.

"hey, Lu," Levy said as she hugged her best friend. "Sorry I've been quiet for so long; work has been crazy."

"you can say that again," Lucy said. "I need to talk with Mira and the others."

"right," Mira said, "you're still going through with it."

"through with what," Erza asked.

"I'm leaving," Lucy said.

"what, why," Gray asked. "Come on; I know I said some things back at Avatar."

"it has nothing to do with Avatar," Lucy said. "It's just everything," she said. "Tartaros, the magic council, my father," she sighed. "I need to get away from it."

"Lucy," Erza said.

"No, my mind is made up," Lucy said as she turned to walk away. "With what's happened in the past year, I just want to be a normal girl again, not me," she said. "Keep in touch, but I just won't be in Magnolia for I don't know how long." Lucy "For all I know, I might not come back."

"Lucy, do you hear yourself," Erza asked. "It's not you to just give up like this."

"I'm not giving up," Lucy said. "I'm just accepting that it's over," Lucy said. "Where are we going to go after this," she said. "There are no more dark guilds, no more demons, and Natsu wants to fight Acnologia by himself," she said. "We need to ask ourselves," she sighed,

"Does this world need fairies anymore?"
