Hello and welcome to Ch 5/Ep. 5. Last time, the gang finally starts to come together, PARTLY. Finn and Natsu are still at the Temple dealing with Lyon as the rest are on their way there now. Gray also explains that he should've told Lyon something Ur wanted him to know before she dealt with Deliora.
Ch. 5/Ep. 5: A Cold Past
BOOM! Adventure Time, c'mon grab your friends we're going to very distant lands with Jake the Dog and Finn the Human the fun will never end it's Adventure Time!
"The truth is, Ur's still alive." Gray said as the group was in the jungle going to the temple. Erza was curious about this statement also.
"What do you mean?"
"It's been 10 years…"
Years earlier:
RROOOOOAAAAARRR! As Deliora let out a roar that was heard from all around above a flaming gorge of destruction and death.
"Deliora attacked my home-town, i've never seen such destruction. The whole place was wiped out in less than a day."
Later, clouds rolled by making the sun shine bright onto the black and grey debris. Then, footsteps were made as it revealed Ur and a younger Lyon walking through the heavy mess.
"I've heard of Deliora's destructive power, but I never would've expected this." Ur commented as she gazed at the scenery in front of her.
Then, not far from her a boy was stuck under the rubble unable to get free getting Ur's attention.
"Lyon, come over here! We've got a survivor!" Ur shouted as they went over and helped him up.
"Hey! Are you alright?" Lyon asked.
"Ur and Lyon found me, they pulled me from the rubble." Gray said, emphasizing that the young boy was him.
There were big girders stabbed into the ground in remembrance of the people who perished during Deliora's attack. The trio was standing in front of a girder when Gray kneeled down and placed a few flowers on the ground in front of it.
"Deliora, you're gonna pay for this. I'll stop you, I swear it." Gray said in a very agitated way as he mourned for the loss of his loved one.
"That vow, is how it all began."
It was snowing all around like going skiing or snowboarding. Gray was out in the snow with Ur and Lyon training. Gray wasn't very used to this kind of predicament as he was trying to catch his breath. Ur was standing in front looking around for more places to train.
"Are you gonna keep up Gray? I warned you training with me can be tough."
"Yeah but I'll do whatever it takes. I have to become stronger than Deliora cause someday I'm gonna beat him."
Gray was full of determination while Lyon wasn't fully assured about Gray's intentions toward deliora.
"Yeah right."
"Okay let's get started."
"Fine ready when you are."
But then Ur quickly stripped herself only to her bikini and only that leaving Gray all super confused and surprised by the turn of events.
"WOAH! What are you doing?!"
"The first step is to strip."
"Are you kiddin' me?! You're crazy if you'd think I'm stripping in the snow. Back me up Lyon."
Then when Gray turned to Lyon he stripped out all of his clothes too leaving Gray more surprised.
"Now you're naked too?"
"Just hurry up and do it kid, c'mon you wanna learn magic right?"
"I can't believe you're making me do this! It better be some kind of joke."
Gray then started to take his clothes off.
"Atta boy Gray, if you really want to control the cold then you have to become it. You'll get used to it soon." Ur said with a grin on her face.
"I already have." Lyon said even though he's shivering a little bit.
"you're shivering just as much as I am." Gray responded.
"Lets go boys." As Ur started running with the two following her from behind.
"I thought you were going to teach me magic." Gray complained.
"Just run, I don't wanna do this beginner stuff again either." Lyon said.
And so the three started training in the cold. They jogged, withstanding cold waters, and of course practiced ice magic.
"I practiced maker magic, out of all of the magical arts. I feel this gives you the most creative freedom."
Then they also practiced Maker-Magic by creating the object they see around from ice. Though Lyon scarred Gray a little bit receiving a hit on the head by Ur of course.
"In fact, every wizard who practices maker magic, has their own unique style. If you train hard, then someday you'll create a style all on your own."
In a small town somewhere close:
"Whose the dark-haired boy, you picked up another student?" A lady asked.
"Yeah his name's Gray, he's a rebel and doesn't want to do what he's told." Ur responded as the three of them were in town.
"The other boy's name is Lyon right? I bet when those two grow up they're going to be quite the lookers."
"You think so?"
"Yeah in fact, would you mind saving one of them for me?"
"If you want those little headaches you're welcome to them."
"You know, you're not gonna have much luck with the men in town if they think you have kids."
Ur then placed some money on the counter and received a bag of groceries ignoring the phrase.
"I don't need romantic advice."
"You're not getting any younger Ur. And you deserve to be happy, promise you'll give it a little thought."
"Yeah sure."
"Tell me something, how long do you think is going to take us to become stronger than Ur?" Lyon asked Gray.
"How the heck should I know?" Gray responded ignorantly.
"She's the best wizard around. But my dream is to someday be better than she is."
"Can't stop running your mouth can ya?"
"Do you really think I care about that?"
"Why are you always so grumpy?"
"Cause you're all master this and master that. It's bugging me."
"She told me she decided to teach you, she sees some kind of darkness in you."
"Well she's probably right, especially everything I've been through."
"Well she wants to help you get rid of it."
"I'll do that on my own just watch."
Gray was full of vengeance for Deliora while Lyon just sighed.
"For now, all I care about is getting revenge on Deliora. And once I've learned enough magic, I'm so outta here, bye-bye ice wi-"
KA-BOOOMP
Before Gray finished Ur punched him on the top of his head as Lyon just sat and watched.
"Keep talking that way bout me and you're dead meat kid!"
"I'm sorry"
Then they walk back. Gray. was still agitated on when Ur will teach them more magic as he's starting to grow impatient.
"So when are you gonna start teaching us some powerful magic?"
"I already have."
"I'm not talking about that Maker-Magic stuff, as far as I can tell that junk's completely useless."
Though Gray wasn't fully aware of the circumstances Ur still had to teach to Lyon, she stopped and turned directly at Gray's eyes.
"Look me in the eyes…..Gray"
Gray didn't even care the slightest so he looked back.
"I told you, Maker-Magic gives you creative freedom. Once you are able to create your own style, you can make it as powerful as you want."
"You keep saying the same thing over and over again."
Though unaware of Gray, he didn;t notice he was Butt-Naked (Except for his shorts because this is Pg-13 in some cases though). Making Ur act rather quickly to say the least.
Sound Effect: WOW
"Gray, we're in public, put your clothes back on!"
"Duah.. Now I have this weird habit cause of you."
"Don't you blame it on me." As Ur punched him into the sky as Lyon laughed as she picked Gray up from his shoulders.
"Let's get out of here."
"Okay."
On the mountain-side they were half-way back.
"Well that was embarrassing."
"And hilarious."
"Shut up brownnossor."
"You shut up streaker."
While walking alongside the road, a carriage was going down the road with some men inside discussing something.
"Have you heard anything about Deliora's whereabouts?"
"Yeah, I heard it made its way to the Northern Continent. It's somewhere around Brago."
"I hope they don't suffer the same fate as this one."
Unaware of the men Gray was listening to their conversation and dropped the bag he was carrying.
"What's wrong?" Lyon asked.
"That's where it is. In Brago."
At night, it was hailing hard and windy, Gray was out of the house for some reason.
"No way Deliora is out of your league Gray. It'll kill you, DON'T GO!" Ur shouted in protest.
"Beg all you want you're not gonna change my mind. Don't you understand, that demon took my mom and dad away from me. I have to get revenge."
"Leave and you're no longer my student."
"Fine! I'm better off without you."
Gray started walking down the oath into the cold and snowy night as Lyon stood next to Ur.
"Don't go…"
"And if that thing kills me it'll be your fault! You should've taught me real magic."
"Great." As Ur stood closing her eyes as Gray walked on to take on Deliora himself in Brago.
Present:
"UUuuuuuhhhhhh… Hey guys, is it just me or does that temple look a little crooked right now?"
Lucy asked as Happy and she tilted their heads to see the temple right. Happy was curious also.
"What happened to it?"
"I'm guessing Natsu and Finn." Gray answered as Erza followed.
"Me too."
"I don't know how they managed to pull it off, but Natsu's the only one who'd do something that crazy. It's a pretty great idea if he did it on purpose, Since the temple's tilted the moonlight won't hit Deliora. For Finn, I'm not sure he's crazy like Natsu to help him out on something random especially if he thought of it himself."
"Well Finns not the smartest in plans but he's the smartest in combat though. But this Natsu guy sounds like a really cool-pool to hang out with if you ask me." Jake replied.
"Trust me he's not, he might look like the kind of friend to hang around with, but he's one of the stupidest people you've ever seen." Gray said truthfully.
"Hey that's not nice, Natsu's a really great person. You're just jealous that he has a dragon to be his father Gray." Happy added.
"And you're just jealous that I'm not weaker than you." Gray reflected.
"HEY!"
"Alright shut up you two. Now then, even if those two made such a big ruckus the temple's not going to be depleted as long as Deliora is still in there." Erza announced.
"You mean their habit of destroying stuff actually came in useful for once." Lucy asked, putting her head in the right position.
"My heads stuck, looking sideways at that crooked temple hurt my neck." Happy complained as he accidently cracked his neck turning it the other way scaring Lucy.
CRACK!
"AAAHHH!"
"Would you two quit it, we don't wanna be kobblpluff the juice-box if any of Lyon's minions are nearby us so stop it." Jake said, but then he heard a twig crack from behind him.
"Oh uhhhhh, hey Erza." Jake asked.
"Yes, what is it Jake?"
"When you first got here, nothing followed you right? Anything suspicious?"
"No not entirely, if there was something I would easily notice."
"Well, I think something is watching us." Jake said as everyone gained focus.
"Are you sure we're not being followed Jake?" Lucy asked.
"I know we're being followed, but I think whoever or whatever is following us is being sneaky."
But then, another twig cracked but real loud causing them to startle.
"Who's there?" Erza shouted
Then Erza threw her sword toward the noise coming from the trees. When her sword got caught on one of the trees, it shook causing something or someone to fall down to the ground.
BAM!
"OOWWWW!"
"Is that the thing you were talking about Jake?"
"Yeah and ehh- Wait, what the heck?"
When everyone got closer, it turned out that the thing that was watching them was a black furred Spider Monkey wearing a jacket with sleeves ripped off, a white shirt, and pants.
"DEEEHEUYDH!"
AAAAHHH!
"CHHI, fol. The heck was that foor?!" The monkey shouted in anger and some pain.
"Woah it can talk!" Lucy shouted.
"WHEEH, the heck you talking bout woman?! I can talk just fine, in fact I can say the entire alphabet from head to toe."
And then, BAM another monkey came falling down landing on top of the other monkey.
"OH man that was some landing, M1 lets do it again but on a skyscraper." Said the other monkey.
"CHIEEIEI! M2 get offa me!" M1 shouted.
"Oh sorry M1 I thought you were a nice fluffy piece of pineapple."
"Stupid how does a fluffy pineapple be perfect for landing, your butts gonna be pricked by it's spiky pencil tips."
"Excuse me, but can we ask what the hell you two are?" Gray interrupted.
"OH well excuse me, we're sorry for eavesdropping on you. I'm M1 and this my bro. M2."
"Yeeehh I'm the smart one." M2 added.
"No you're not your the stupid one!" M1 shouted in defiance.
"What do you mean I'm the stupid one! I'm the smart, intelligent, and eh-eh-ehhh most daring one."
"Fol no you're not, stop trying to be better than me I'm M1 and I'm number 1."
"Oh yeaah okay, like I see you snooping over Nikki Webster."
"EXCUSE ME! But can we ask you two, what are you?" Erza demanded.
"Didn't I just say that?" Gray asked.
"HEAHA Creepy silver old WOMAN!" M2 shouted.
"What did you say?!" Erza asked furiously.
"Fol would'chu shut UP! HHEHEHE I'm so sorry if my brother was being offensive to you HEHehehe...he" M1 interrupted.
"UUHHHhhhhh….. Okay… why don't we just go back to the main question shall we?" Lucy said in confusion.
"Oh yeh sorry blonde. I am M1 and this is my brother M2, we're Spider Monkey brothers and we have no idea what's going on also."
"That's inconvenient." Erza added on.
"Hey wait a second, how long have you two been on this island?" Lucy asked.
"Eh I don't know M1 weren't we here since two days ago?" M2 said.
"Two days ago, that was when I first got here." Jake said.
"You know to be honest things started to get a little weird two days ago and I wonder why?" Lucy questioned.
But just then, Erza sensed something shooting toward them out of the bushes and knocked Lucy, the Muffets, and Happy into the air and into the trees while Gray, Jake, and her avoided the attack in time.
"Who's there!" Erza demanded. Then a swarm of the chanters from before appeared in front of them.
"We tracked you down Fairy Tail."
"We won't allow you to interfere."
"Not these guys." Gray said in annoyance.
"Lyon's minion." Erza said.
"Why's there so many cultists this isn't Comic-Con or something is it?" M2 screamed.
"This ain't the time to start being stupid fol'." M1 shouted.
"They're all around us." Lucy said as literally the minions started to corner them in a circle.
"AYE."
"I can handle this myself." Erza said as she redrew her sword.
"You sure?" Gray asked.
"I'll take care of them, you go and settle things with Lyon."
"We'll fight with her. You just go and do what you gotta do." Lucy added on staying to help out Erza drawing out her whip.
"AYE." Happy said as he pulled up a skeletal fish.
"Care to join us you two?" Lucy asked M1 and M2.
"Oh yeah sure Blonde we'll stop these evil-doers with ya!" M2 shouted in excitement as he got a stick.
"Fol' since when did we agree to that!" M1 shouted in confusion.
"Who cares M1, we finally get time to beat some evil behinds."
"Thanks guys." Gray said in gratitude.
"Wait fol' WHAT?!" M1 kept shouting.
"Just shut up and start fighting M1!" M2 said getting ready to bop the evil minions.
"Yo Gray, you're gonna need a lift." Jake said as he turned into a horse. Thanks to Jake Gray quickly hopped onto him.
"So, you really can turn into random things huh?"
"Well that's not the first I've heard but I'm also in a hurry to get to Finn also so let's revv this up a bit."
Then as quick as Jake could, they ran to the temple while Natsu and Finn were battling Lyon.
"I gotta tell Lyon that Ur's still alive." Gray thought. "The only person who can stop him, is me."
Years earlier:
We come back to the scene of Deliora wreaking havoc on Brago, luckily some of the townspeople got out but were still terrified as the beast kept destroying everything.
"Ice-Make Rose Garden!"
Ur shouted as she nearly froze Deliora's body, but was unsuccessful as Deliora broke the ice without hesitation. Ur was quickly getting too tired to stand up and hold her ground.
"I can't keep this up, I'm using too much magic energy."
Ur then checked behind her looking at both Gray and Lyon lying on the floor battered and out cold. After a second, Gray managed to wake up and saw Deliora walking off rampaging more. Then Ur walked toward him and slowly laid her arms around him.
"It's okay, everything's gonna be fine."
"What, you're here? Ur, but why?" Gray questioned.
"I want you to grab Lyon and get out of here. I can't concentrate on fighting if I have to protect you."
Gray then turned and saw Lyon lying on the floor.
"Oh no."
"He's fine, he's just out cold." Ur said as she turned around toward Deliora.
"Deliora!"
"It's too strong, I didn't stand a chance."
"Get going."
"Wait, why'd you come after me? I thought I wasn't your student anymore." Gray questioned making Ur pause for a sec.
"A friend told me something recently that made me think, she told me to be happy which shocked me
Because I've never thought of myself as unhappy. She just doesn't understand, I have two 2 adorable little students. But I spend each day with and watch them grow into men. What more could I want? I don't think there's anything in the world that could make me happier."
Then Gray noticed her left leg was missing.
"Ur, your leg."
"Oh you noticed, I lost the real one but this will do for now. My maker magic came in handy, I vowed to free the darkness within you. And if that means I have to fight this demon, then so be it. Now get out of here and let me do this."
"No I'm not leaving you. It's my fault all of this happened."
"No one's at fault, this is just something we all have to go through in order to be happy again."
But then, Lyon woke up hearing Ur's saying.
"Wait Ur."
"I thought you were unconscious, I need you and Gray to-"
"You're gonna defeat it right? You're talking like you're not gonna make it." Lyon said with a worrying face.
Gray tried to get Lyon's attention and get him to safety but he refused.
"Let her go."
"Shut up! You can beat that thing no problem. You're the strongest wizard alive that demon's no match for you."
"Lyon, how many times have I told you. There's always someone better."
"But that can't be true."
"In the western countries, there are lots of wizards more powerful than me."
Though Ur was being serious about her claim, Lyon wasn't buying any of it.
"No that's not true, it's not cause you're the strongest. If you aren't. Then why have I been training with you all this time?"
"One day you'll surpass me and when that day comes I hope you move on to a more loftier goal."
"I studied with you because I thought you were the best there was. If you let that monster defeat It'll prove me wrong. Ur don't betray me!"
"Lyon I-."
But before Ur said her word Lyon started bolting past her.
"If you're not gonna give it your all, then I'll have to do it myself!"
Then Ur noticed what Lyon was gonna do when he stopped. Lyon then spread his legs apart and crossed his arms like an X.
"Lyon that stance, where'd you learn that?" Ur shouted.
"Where you ask? Since you don't want to teach us powerful magic yourself, I went to the store-house and read all your magic books."
Then electricity started sparking around Lyon as a magic codex-like circle formed underneath him.
"I learned the Ice Shell from these cause you were scared, that's why Isn't it?"
"Did you even bother to read that book all the way through? Do you know what happens to the spell caster? Ur shouted toward him as Gray was processing.
"Will he be okay?"
"I asked you a question, answer me Lyon."
But before Ur finished a bright gleam of light shined across the area catching Deliora's attention.
"Please you can't do this!" Gray shouted in protest.
"No, it noticed us."
"I know magics too weak to kill Deliora, but if I can cast the Ice Shell spell it'll seal it in ice for eternity."
But before Lyon finished, Ur quickly encased him in ice.
"Sorry but I'm not gonna let you do that."
"But Ur why is it bad?"
"When that spells used, the caster's body becomes the Ice Shell itself." Ur explained. (To put it simple the Ice Shell is like tin foil covering something but the tin foil is actually ice made from that person's body who uses it."
"He's right though, that's the only way Deliora can be stopped. I never would've thought Lyon would come up with the same idea I had."
Then Ur started letting out an aura of ice as she walked toward Deliora making Gray concerned about her.
"Hey where're you going?"
"I must've taught him well."
"UR!"
"Stay back."
Then she started doing the same stance, and then a circle of flurrying ice surrounded her as the codex-like circle formed on top of Deliora and then all over it.
"I won't ever let you hurt my students again, this is the end of the line you monster!"
"Maximum Freeze Ice-Shell!" Ur shouted as she chanted the Ice-Shell making the spell go more berserk which then converted into a bright orb of light almost erasing Deliora from it's sight as Gray watched her sacrifice herself.
"Ur no!"
Then her eye started to crack as she kept casting the spell.
"Please don't do it!"
"It's a sacrifice I have to make to save the 2 of you. My body will become the ice to seal the demon Deliora for eternity…."
"Gray… Promise me this one thing, please tell Lyon I died. If he found out I have been turned into ice, he'd probably waste his entire life trying to find a way to undo the spell. And that would make my sacrifice meaningless."
"Stop!"
"I want Lyon to see the world and live a full life… And Gray, I want the same for you."
Gray couldn't stop begging Ur to stop casting the spell as he was on his knees as his head lifted up.
"I'm begging, please don't do this! I promise I'll do anything for you from now on!"
"There's no reason to be sad, I'll live on please don't cry..." Ur said softly as her whole self started to shatter away as Deliora was almost sealed away with Gray still on the floor.
"I may not be with you but I will protect you from Deliora, be strong, make me proud…" As Ur said her final words saying goodbye to Gray as he started shouting her name in tears into the foggy-black sky.
"UUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRR!"
"I freed you from the darkness Gray, I sealed it away forever…."
With this Deliora was now completely encased in a boulder of ice which Ur sacrificed herself to be.
"Suddenly, I felt all the anger and sadness I had within me just disappear, at that moment I swore I would always be strong for her. I'd become the best wizard I could to make her proud of me." Gray thought with the tone of rebirth.
"But Lyon was different…" Gray said as the sky started to brighten up a bit as the clouds drifted away. Then Lyon started to wake up as Gray was laying his head against his knees beside him.
"Ow, what did she do to me?" Lyon said as he stood up and saw Deliora in front of him completely encased in the ice made from Ur which he doesn't know yet.
"That's Deliora, how did it happen? Did Ur cast the spell, did she? Where is she now, tell me!"
Gray couldn't tell the truth of her and was forced to him the lie.
"She… She's dead." Gray responded softly with tears running down.
"No…..NOOOOOO! You jerk! How will I surpass her now, she's dead and my dream cause of you!" Lyon shouted in anguish as he grabbed Gray by his jacket.
"I'm… sorry."
"That's not good enough, it won't bring her back. You killed my dream! If you hadn't challenged Deliora this wouldn't have happened."
Lyon ranted on as Gray just laid there crying.
"It's your fault she's dead. You're the one…. You killed Master Ur….."
Present:
"Look dude, just because your dream was destroyed by Gray doesn't mean you have to bring about a cruddy demon to save Ur and destroy the whole island. Whether you like it or not we're stopping you no matter what." Finn exclaimed as the three were still eye gazing each other.
"Finn's right you bastard. This could go on forever, so do yourself a favor and give up." Natsu added.
"I would never give you that satisfaction." Lyon denied.
"Then you're asking for it." Natsu said, getting more angrier.
"Oh am I now?" Lyon said sarcastically.
"Alright, acting slyish huh? Okay then, I'm READY TO STOMP YOUR FACE." Finn smirked.
But then the wall aside them started to crack open, leaving Natsu confused.
"What the?"
And then the wall burst open and there, Gray and Jake were standing right there who arrived just in time.
"Hey buddy, sorry to defrost the freezer but we're here already!" Jake shouted.
"Oh it's Gray and uhh….. Who's that?"Natsu asked.
"It's JAKE!" Finn shouted in joy.
"FINN! You're alright! I thought something bad happened to you."
"And I thought the same too." Finn responded.
"Well at least you guys are alright."
Jake said as he turned to Natsu. "Hey you're the Salamander right? Natsu was it."
"Yeah that's me don't wear it out."
"No time for that now, you guys leave him to me. It's time we settled things once and for all." Gray said as he got in front of them.
"No way man you already lost to him once." Natsu said, reminding him last they fought.
"And it's not gonna happen again. I'm ready to end this now." Gray said with determination.
"You seem awfully confident." Lyon stated.
"You were right Lyon, I'm the one whose to blame for our master's death…. But you're no better. You've threatened my comrades, my new friends, brought harm to the villagers, and now you're trying to destroy what Ur gave her life to create. It's time we accept our punishment together." Gray exclaimed as he started to do the stance catching Lyon's eye.
"That stance, not the Ice Shell!"
"Ice Shell." Natsu said.
"The heck is the Ice Shell? Some sort of depressing winter mood mug?" Jake asked.
"My master Ur cast a spell called Ice Shell on this demon, she gave everything to seal it away forever."
"I'd have find her if I could, but Ur's been dead for many years."
Looking back made Natsu and Finn realize what that truly meant.
"Are you insane you wouldn't dare." Lyon shouted.
"If you want to live, change the villagers back to their human form and then leave this island and never return. If you'll agree I'll stop otherwise this is the end." Gray persuaded.
That so? Well I don't believe a word of it, you're bluffing."
But then Gray started to get more serious as he did the Ice Shell which started to shine more brighter and colder.
"No I'm not."
"You'll die." Lyon shouted as he attempted to attack but was quickly stopped by Gray.
"Don't do it!" Natsu said.
"EEUAAAHHH I can't see anything, I'm getting ice-blindness!" Jake shouted.
"All these years I lied to myself. I didn't want to admit that Ur died because of me, but she did. And it's time I took responsibility. So I will here and now. I'm not afraid to die, if that's what it takes!" Gray shouted determined as Lyon shouted back.
"Stop this now!"
"So what's it gonna be Lyon? Are we gonna die or are we gonna live? It's up to you."
"You wouldn't, you're not brave enough to give your life. You're nothing but a coward."
"Just watch me.." Gray said in defiance as the spell started to go awry and crazy, shining the whole room as white as crystal ice as Natsu tried to stop him.
"Oh he's dead serious." Jake said.
"Don't do it!" Natsu shouted.
"Gray!" Finn shouted also.
"Natsu, Erza, all my friends from Fairy Tail, especially you Finn and Jake….. The rest is up to you. I don't want to leave you, but my time is up." Gray thought as he was about to cast the Ice Shell spell.
