-Twins of Fire and Ice-
Recap: "I need your help." Gray said.
"Oh? Why?" Crimson asked while Vixenique tilted her head.
"Pranks and revenge." Gray grinned evilly. The two female foxes let out dark chuckles as they each threw an arm around their brother's shoulders.
"Oh Nii-chan! I'm so proud!" Vixenique said with a glint in her eyes that had people moving out of the trio's way.
"Welcome to the Dark Side baby bro! We have cookies, manga, and coffee." Crimson said with an evil smile on her face. Gray chuckled as the three continued on their way. Elsewhere, the four male Dragon Slayers all shivered in fear and froze, afraid, of what they weren't sure, but it wouldn't end well.
-Twins of Fire and Ice-
"Sting and Rouge too huh? Well this will be fun." Vixenique grinned to herself.
"So they were picking on you because you were cross-dressing? And you pull it off very well by the way." Crimson said as she leaned back in her seat some. Gray blushed prettily at that.
"That's it!" Vixenique shouted as she shot to her feet. Everyone in the café they were seated in turned to stare at the streaked-girl in shock. Vixenique flushed before she sat down in her seat and buried her burning face in her hands. Everyone turned away and continued on with their day. With a guild like Fairy Tail in town, people tended to learn to ignore the odd and spontaneous things that happened in Magnolia.
"What's this plan of yours Vixi?" Gray asked as he took a sip of his hot chocolate.
"It's simple! They were picking on you because you look like a girl, so we'll make them drool over you!" Vixenique said happily, her earlier embarrassment forgotten.
"Let's go with it." Crimson shrugged.
"What?! No!" Gray said as he turned from one sister to the other.
"Yes." Both Hellfire Fox Princesses said with a glare trained on their brother. Gray slumped in his seat, realizing it was useless to argue with the two.
"I'm doomed." He muttered to himself.
-Twins of Fire and Ice-
"Lucy!" Vixenique shrieked as she kicked the guild doors open in her search for the blonde. Said female turned to the streaked brunette and blinked at her.
"What's up Vixen?" she asked as she slid off her stool, where she had been working on her book. Vixenique gave her a smile so angelic it had to be evil and grabbed the girl's hands, dragging her behind her.
"Ah! Vixenique!" Lucy yelled as she was dragged out of the guild. She trusted that Levi would look after her manuscript and put it back in her apartment. The princess was talking a mile a minute, so fast that no one could understand her. Lucy just squealed as she was forced out of the guild.
"What the hell just happened?" Laxus asked in the silence that followed.
"I don't think we want to know." Midnight replied as he took a sip of his drink. The Lightning Dragon Slayer shrugged in agreement, realizing it was probably true.
-Twins of Fire and Ice-
"You want me to what?" Lucy questioned with wide eyes.
"We want you to help us turn Gray into someone who could have male Dragon Slayers, Natsu, Gajeel, Sting, and Rouge mainly, drooling over him." Vixenique answered.
"You really are crazy." Lucy breathed at that. Vixenique face-planted into the ground while Crimson and Gray snickered.
"Shut it!" she yelled as she climbed to her feet.
"Don't be upset because it's true Vix-chan." Gray said simply. Vixenique gave her twin a glare cold enough to freeze hell.
"Don't forget. I'm the one with the plan." Vixenique said. Gray paled slightly at that and whimpered.
"Sure! This is bound to be entertaining if nothing else!" Lucy agreed with a smile. Vixenique cheered happily as she wrapped her arms around the blonde.
"Yay! Let's so this!" Vixenique squealed as she bounced in place slightly. Crimson and Gray just stared with sweat-drops.
"I'm scared." Gray whimpered.
"I think we both are." Crimson said with wide-eyes. They shared a look and put some space between themselves and the other two.
"Let's put this plan into action!" the two squealed happily. There were whimpers all around at that.
-Twins of Fire and Ice-
The guild was actually enjoying the silence that was surrounding the building at the moment. That was until the doors were kicked open as Gray ran in screaming. He pounced on Natsu and clung to him as he whimpered and shivered.
"Fuck this!" Crimson shouted as she ran inside and jumped behind the bar, hiding behind Mirajane, sniffling in fear.
"What the hell?" Marakov asked in shock.
"I don't want to do it anymore! You can't make me!" the two of them cried as Vixenique entered the guild. The girl pouted at that.
"Stop it, it wasn't that bad!" she cried. Gray whimpered as he buried his face in Natsu's neck and shivered. Crimson just whimpered in pure fear.
"What the hell did you do?" Yamibri asked in shock as she stared at her cousins.
"Nothing!" the girl said. Everyone looked from the shivering redhead fox to the terrified Dragon Heir and then went back to staring at the girl. "Okay, so I might have done something, but this outburst isn't necessary."
"I want to go home." Gray sniffled as he sneezed. He buried his face in Natsu's neck and sniffled.
"Gray, are you sick?" Natsu asked.
"I think so." The younger teen said. Crimson finally stopped her hiding as she came from behind the bar. She placed a hand on Gray's forehead and pulled her hand back.
"You have a fever. A really high one." Crimson said with a furrowed brow. The younger sister walked over and placed a hand on his forehead, doing much the same.
"She's right. That's not good." Vixenique said worriedly.
"Ne, Natsu, do you mind taking Gray to the apartment and looking after him while we go get some things to help him?" the youngest Fullbuster asked as she stared at the Fire Dragon Slayer with teary eyes and a trembling lower lip. Any protest died before it could be started at that look and he sighed and nodded. The girl brightened at that and placed a kiss on his cheek. Gray groaned sleepily as he shifted slightly.
"Sleepy." He muttered softly. Natsu sighed as he shifted Gray and headed out of the guild. The girls smiled before they realized something.
"Dammit! Ne Gajeel? Can you give these to Natsu so he can actually get in?" Vixenique asked as she handed him a ring of keys. The male rolled his red eyes before he nodded and headed after his mate and his rival.
"Oi!" he called as he caught up with him.
"What's up?" Natsu asked as he shifted Gray. The youngest teen groaned but settled down. Gajeel held up the keys and Natsu rolled his eyes.
"Might as well help you. At least this way the place will still be in one piece when the girls get there." Gajeel shrugged as he followed his lover. It was silent as they reached Gray's apartment building. Gray whimpered softly as he panted, his head resting on Natsu's shoulder. Gajeel stroked his black locks and he settled down slightly, though he still panted.
"Jeez! He really is sick." Natsu remarked as he pulled the thermometer from Gray's mouth. The submissive sighed as he curled up under his blanket. His temperature was around 96° F, normal on a normal human, but for an ice mage like Gray it was almost six degrees higher than his normal temperature.
"So, go get some cold water and a towel." Gajeel ordered and Natsu nodded, heading towards the bathroom. Gajeel followed after him, knowing that there had to be fever medicine somewhere in the apartment.
Three hours later, Gray stirred, blinking in the dim light of his room. He looked over, realizing that his thick curtains had been pulled closed, darkening the room. He sat up, feeling a damp towel fall in his lap. He placed it in the bowl and stretched, feeling better than he had all afternoon.
"Huh, I feel better." Gray said as he climbed to his feet and exited the room. He heard a soft moan from the living room and tilted his head. He flushed red at that as he leaned against the hallway wall.
"Natsu?" he called warily and he heard cursing.
"G-Gray! Feel better?" Natsu said hurriedly.
"U-um, yeah! Thanks. Can I come out now?" he asked as his flush deepened.
"Yeah, come on out Gray." He heard Gajeel said and his flushed deepened even more. He peeked his head around the corner and smiled timidly at the two Dragon Slayers. They tried to give him smiles, though they were flushing.
"H-how long have you guys been here?" Gray said as he sat on his loveseat.
"A few hours now. Come here." Gajeel said as he held the thermometer to Gray. The submissive sighed as he slid the device into his mouth. He pouted as he dropped down into his seat. He toyed with his hair as he avoided looking at the two. Gray closed his eyes and calmed down, feeling his flush fade. When it beeped he pulled it out of his mouth.
"93°F. That's still higher than normal." Gray said as he leaned back in his seat.
"At least it went down by three degrees." Natsu pointed out and Gray sighed at that.
"I'm hungry. You guys want anything?" Gray asked as he entered the kitchen. They shared a look and followed him. They found him in the freezer and he cheered happily as he pulled a popsicle out. He turned and stared at them with a slight flush.
"W-what?" he questioned.
"Just curious." Gajeel shrugged.
"Are you even supposed to eat that right now?" Natsu questioned. Gray shrugged as he pulled the wrapper off, revealing that the popsicle was red in color.
"No clue, but it does help cool me down." Gray said as he flopped back onto the loveseat. He licked the tip of the popsicle and hummed happily at the taste. "Strawberry." He placed the tip in his mouth and hummed happily. Gajeel and Natsu flushed deeply as they turned away, their thoughts heading into the gutter. Gray continued to lick and suck on his treat, unaware of the affect it had on the two dominate males.
"Damn him for being innocent." Gajeel cursed his breath and Natsu nodded in agreement.
"I'm back!" Vixenique said as she skipped into the room. She blinked at the sight and a smirk crossed her face.
"Feel better Nii-chan?" she asked and her twin nodded.
"I do. Natsu and Gajeel took good care of me. Shocking isn't it?" Gray asked. Vixenique and he giggled as the two flushed at that.
"Thanks a lot you two. Ne, wanna spar tomorrow?" the female twin asked. The two perked up and nodded excitedly.
"Great!" Vixenique grinned excitedly as she smiled at her brother. He nodded in agreement as he went back to his popsicle, licking at the drips that trailed down to his wrist. He was still unaware of the affect that this was having on the Dragon Slayers.
"You guys can stay for dinner if you want." Gray offered.
"Nah. We have to go check on Happy and Lily." Gajeel said as he climbed to his feet and pulled Natsu up with him. Gray pouted but nodded.
"Okay. See you guys tomorrow. In that clearing outside of the town?" he suggested and the Dragon Slayers nodded.
"Bring Sting and Rouge too! It'll be way more fun that way!" the female twin giggled and they all nodded as they left.
"Ne Nii-chan?" Vixenique asked as her twin looked at her. "I think I have the next step of our plan." She smirked and Gray shivered at that action, but nodded.
-Twins of Fire and Ice-
"Hey guys!" Vixenique greeted the next morning where they all gathered together. She wore a white tank top and a pair of black shorts. The sun shone brightly overhead, giving Magnolia a heat wave that was not good for some people.
"Where's Gray?" Sting asked as he looked around. Vixenique sighed and pointed towards the large tree line that surrounded the clearing. Gray lay on the ground with a blue popsicle in his mouth as he looked miserable in the shade. They all walked over and peered down at him. He stirred softly as his eyes opened and he glanced at them.
"Hi?" he asked as he pulled the popsicle out of his mouth.
"Sorry Nii-chan. I didn't think it would be this hot." Vixenique said as she patted his hair. The male whined softly as he pulled away some. Crimson entered the clearing with a large cooler. She walked over and placed it near Gray. The younger male lifted his head and crawled over and curled around it, purring contently as he nuzzled his cheek against it. He wore a white tank top and white shorts.
"Feel better?" Crimson asked, pushing her red hair over her shoulder. She wore a black t-shirt with a pair of black shorts. Gray purred as he nodded against the cooler.
"Let's leave him for a while. He might be able to spar later." Crimson said and the others all nodded.
"So, how are we doing this?" the redhead asked as she turned to the guys.
"I wanna test my flames against Natsu!" Vixenique grinned.
"I'm curious to see if my flames can go through metal." Crimson said. "Looks like it's me and Gajeel." She smirked at him and he smirked right back at her. Sting and Rouge shrugged and headed over to sit with Gray under the shade. The male raised a brow and yawned, watching the sparing matches with lazy eyes.
"Let's do it Natsu!" Vixenique cheered as she launched herself at him. He smirked as he met her head on, both of their fist surrounded by flames. They kept it up before Vixenique grabbed his arm and pulled him forward, kicking him in the chest. He went flying back and rolled before he climbed to his feet and shook his head. He smirked at the girl and she grinned right back.
Crimson's hands were engulfed in black and burgundy flames and she was punching the hell out of Gajeel. He was blocking, thankful for his iron scales. He leaped back and breathed in.
"Really? Already?" Gray asked softly and the other two Dragon Slayers nodded in agreement.
"Iron Dragon Roar!" he said as he blew the tornado at the redhead. She squealed as she was caught in the blast, though she held her ground. She smirked unseen as she got an idea.
"Un oh. Gajeel's in trouble." Gray said as he realized something. The two turned to him and he nodded at that the tornado. Gajeel finally stopped and watched as the tornado continued to surround the girl. He raised a brow and watched as it turned white and was engulfed in white flames.
"Ah hell." He said when the tornado was thrown at him. He rolled to the side and groaned as he felt the extreme heat pass by him. He looked up when he realized that the tornado was headed towards him again. He cursed as he started running; he glanced over to see that Crimson was controlling the tornado and its path.
"That's actually a pretty good Unison Raid." Gray mumbled to himself before he smirked. He reached into the cooler and pulled out another popsicle, which he sucked on in thought.
Meanwhile with Vixenique and Natsu, the girl was dodging all Natsu's attacks using gymnastic moves and flips. She pulled off an impressive back handspring and toyed with the bracelets around her wrists. They extended into a pair of black gauntlets that reached her biceps and covered her hands with purple flames.
"Okay! Time to up the ante!" she cheered as she giggled, launching herself at Natsu. Her gauntlets glowed brightly as she punched the ground in front of the male. The resulting upheaval threw him into the air. Before he could righten himself, Vixenique appeared above him and punched him in the stomach.
In his hole Natsu groaned before he noticed that Vixenique was coming back down.
"Fire Dragon Roar!" he blew the fireball towards the falling girl, who acted quickly on her feet.
"Hellfire Buster!" she said as she punched, sending a powerful stream of her purple flames towards the oncoming attack. The two fires met head on and pressed against each other before they exploded, sending the girl flying. The force of the explosion also destroyed the tornado that Crimson was still controlling. Everyone held their ground against the strong windstorm that followed.
When it finally died down, Gray removed his arms from protecting his face. He stared at the four unconscious mages and then at the damage they had all caused.
"Whoa." Sting breathed as he looked around, noticing all of the large holes and gouges, along with broken and burned trees.
"This is going to take a while to heal." Rouge said as he surveyed the damage.
"Maybe not." Gray said as he shifted to his true form. He was unaware of the two's dropped jaws as they took in the large wings and tail. He took a few deep breathes, holding one hand up towards the sky and the other down towards the earth, his eyes sliding closed a large dark blue and white magic rune appeared below him.
"Oh power of the heavens, I call on thee to restore that which has been removed. Oh power of the earth, I call on thee to repair that which has been damaged." Gray intoned as white balls of energy came from the sky while gold ones came from the earth. "Reinforce!" he said as his eyes snapped open. The energy exploded outwards, repairing all of the damage and restoring the clearing to its former beauty. He panted softly as he fell to his knees looking around.
"G-Gray! Are you alright?" Rouge asked. The submissive turned to them and grinned.
"Yeah I'm fine. A little tired, but fine." He said with a smile as he pushed some of his hair behind his ear. He glanced over his shoulder at the sounds of groans and watched as the four mages stirred; climbing to their feet, completely healed and they looked around in confusion.
"Nee-chan?" Vixenique asked as she looked around the area. "Isn't this…?" she asked and Crimson nodded. They both turned to Gray, who smiled sheepishly at them with a wave. The two shared an eye roll and walked over to him, helping him to his feet.
"Sorry." He said and they sighed, nuzzling his hair to sooth him.
"Whatever. I think we've done enough damage for one day." Crimson said.
"I'm hungry." Gray pouted unhappily.
"How? You've been eating popsicles all day!" Vixenique exclaimed.
"What's your point? Popsicles aren't food." He pointed out and his sisters groaned turning and walking away. He shrugged and turned to the other males, tilting his head. They all nodded and he smiled at them, grabbing Sting and Natsu's wrists and dragging them off.
"What to get, what to get, what to get?" Gray chanted as he led the four towards town. He hummed before he squealed and headed for a certain restaurant.
"Welcome to Ruby Rose." Gray said as he led them inside.
"Ohayo Minna-san." A waitress said as she bowed to them.
"Ohayo!" Gray said as the five of them bowed.
"This way please." She said, her brown pigtails swinging as her matching eyes scanned the restaurant and found a table. Her black mini-skirt swished around her legs and her white button down hugged her frame.
"Can I get you anything right now?" she asked. The Dragons placed their drink orders and she walked off to go place them in as the males read through the menu. Gray hummed something under his breath as he skimmed the menu.
"Oi, Gray?" Natsu called. The submissive looked away from the menu to glance at him.
"What's up?" he asked taking a sip of his soda.
"What is that song you keep humming?" Natsu asked.
"Oh that? It's a lullaby I've know my whole life." Gray said. "I don't really knew where I learned it from actually." He said as he tilted his head. Their waitress walked back over and placed their food orders in front of them.
"Thank you." Gray smiled up at her and she smiled back with a laugh.
"Please let me know when you're ready to pay or you need anything else." The girl said as she bowed to them and then walked off. Gray hummed in contentment as he chewed on his pasta. He continued, just people watching and tuning out the conversation the four Dragon Slayers were having. He became aware of silence and people staring at his table and he sighed. He stared blankly at Sting and Natsu as they glared at each other. Rouge and Gajeel were just shaking their heads in annoyance and exasperation at their mates.
"Sit the fuck down before I freeze your reproductive organs and tie you down and rip them out." Gray said blankly. The two headstrong Dragon Slayers froze and turned to Gray. They shivered and whimpered, sitting down and staying quiet. The restaurant slowly returned to normal and the five finished and paid. Gray hummed to himself as he wandered through Magnolia. He blinked when he felt a shiver run down his spine.
"Nani?" he asked softly as he looked around. "I know that feeling. That absolute terror." He shivered as he gained a fearful look in his eyes. He then noticed that the streets were empty and he looked around in worry.
"Hello." A voice said from behind him and he turned. His jaw dropped and he screamed.
-Twins of Fire and Ice-
"Where the hell is Nii-chan?" Vixenique asked worriedly.
"Calm down Vixi." Crimson said.
"No way!" Vixenique said as she shook her head. "Something's going to happen! I don't know what, but something's going to happen! And Nii-chan is in the middle of it. Like always." She said. Everyone in the guild turned to the door when a scream rang out.
"Nii-chan!" Vixenique said in panic as she shot out of the guild, the others following her.
-Twins of Fire and Ice-
"Hey, where the hell is Gray?" Natsu asked when he noticed that the Dragon Slayers had become separated from the Dragon Heir.
"Something's not right." Rouge said as he looked around.
"Where the hell is everyone?" Sting asked as he growled lowly.
"Ah hell!" Gajeel groaned when they heard Gray's scream. They all quickly headed to the source of the scream.
-Twins of Fire and Ice-
"Let me go!" Gray said as he squirmed in the binds holding him.
"Not gonna happen Dragon-chan." Ivan Dreyer said as he patted Gray on the head. Gray snarled at the touch and snapped his fangs, sinking them into the man's hand. He yelped at the stinging slap that was delivered to his cheek at that. He winced, but still growled and sank his fangs even deeper.
"Gray!" Natsu shouted as the four slid to a stop nearby. "You!" he snarled as he pointed at Ivan. Ivan smirked as he flicked Gray in the forehead. Gray whined at that and released his hand, shaking his head in annoyance. He threw the older man a glare and a low growl. He yelped as he was flicked one again.
"You!" a voice behind them snarled. They all turned to find the rest of Fairy Tail standing behind them.
"Nii-chan!" Vixenique said.
"'Nii-chan'?" Ivan asked. "You! You're the one who escaped me that night!" he said as he pointed at the girl.
"You're the weirdo who killed my mother!" Vixenique snarled evilly. "You will pay!" Gray yelped as he was yanked into the man's arms. He groaned as he hit his head.
"Ow!" he roared as he growled.
"And you managed to find the Arctic Crystal. Wonderful." Ivan said with a deranged smile. Gray stared up at him and hissed lowly.
"Sorry, but we have to go now. Bye bye." He said as he released a large blast of magic. The Fairy Tail mages covered their eyes and stood their ground, straining to keep Ivan and Gray in sight.
"Dammit! Wind Scythe!" Midnight yelled as he released a large gust of air. It cleared away the cloud of magic and everyone cursed when they noticed that the two were gone.
"Nii-chan?" Vixenique asked brokenly. Crimson pulled her into a hug as her sister broke down in sobs. She buried her face in her hair, trembling slightly.
"What do we do?" Lucy asked in fear.
"I know where they're going." Yamibri said as her hair shaded her eyes.
"Where?" Natsu asked.
"The Shrine of Shiva." Yamibri answered as she raised her head, showing off the glare in her eye. "He plans to use the Heir of Shiva to grant himself an immense amount of power." She said.
"That'll kill Gray in the process." Crimson said.
"That's what he tried to do to Mama. It didn't work because she wasn't the Heir of Shiva nor we're they at the Shrine of Shiva." Vixenique said emotionlessly as she lifted her head. She was glaring at nothing.
"We're going to the Island of Acnologia." She said as she clenched her fists. "If Ivan doesn't kill Gray, then Acnologia will sentence Gray to a fate much worse than that." Vixenique said.
"He'll claim him as his mate." Crimson said as she growled lowly.
"Let's go. The sooner we leave, the soon we find Gray." Erza said and everyone nodded, going to go decide what they would need to do to find Gray.
-Twins of Fire and Ice-
Gray eyes slid open and stared at the cave wall.
"So, someone managed to find him." The owner, a male said. A soft sigh came from nearby as the one and only Zeref exited the darkness.
"I had hoped I would never have to see him here." Zeref said and his companion nodded. They both looked behind them at the sound of a loud grunt. In the middle of a large clear area was Acnologia, fast asleep. He stirred, but slept on. The two males shared a look and nodded in agreement.
"You're presence along with his, unsealed or not, were enough to send him to that island." The gray-eyed male said and Zeref nodded with downcast eyes. "We might have to buy time for the Fire Dragon Slayer."
"Natsu. You didn't kill me, but will you be willing to kill any who stand in your way to protect the Heir of Shiva?" Zeref asked quietly and his companion walked forward some. They stared at the sleeping form of Acnologia.
