Chapter 9: Galuna Island, Moon and Demons.

The next morning, at the Fairy Tail Guild...

"Master, why is one of the S-class jobs not on the board?" Erza asked. "Hm?" Makarov said, as he went upstairs were Erza was, and saw that one of the S-class jobs indeed was gone. "That´s weird. I don't recall one of the S-class mages taking any S-class missions lately. One of them being the Galuna Island Job." Makarov said.

"Maybe Natsu and that blue furball took it, since I saw a stupid blue cat come and take it." Laxus said, silencing the guild.

"WHAT?!" The entire guild yelled.

"LAXUS! THEY TOOK A FORBIDDEN JOB, AND YET YOU DIDN'T DO ANYHTING?! DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT LEVELS OF DANGERS THEY ARE IN?!" Mira screamed.

"Don't be so stupid, I am S-class myself, and the strongest one at that. And besides, I only saw some freaking blue furball taking an S-Class Job. I thought it would use it like to make a toilet to shit on, since it is as weak as Natsu." Laxus said as he laughed, much to Mira´s anger.

"LAXUS! DON'T YOU HAVE ANY SHAME YOU...!" Mira screamed but was stopped by Makarov, by putting his staff in front of the barmaid.

"Mira, calm down. I am sure Natsu and Happy will be fine." Makarov. "You´re right. I´m sorry, the rage consumed me." Mira apologized. "It´s okay, Mira. You showed at least the concern for two of our guild members." Makarov said, with Mira went back to her duties as a barmaid, which Makarov turned around and looked at Laxus with an angry stare. "Laxus, I didn't do that for you. I made sure to make her not do something reckless." Makarov said. "HA! As if that former S-Mage could do something. She is probably weak right now!" Laxus mocked, which Mira heard, causing her to break a glass with her bare hands in rage, but made sure to go up and beat the Lightning Mage.

"Master, what are we going to do?" Wakaba said as Makarov came from the stairs. "We'll send someone to find them and retrieve them, so that I give them the punishment they need." Makarov said, and before he could say who was going to do the retrieval mission, Levy interrupted.

"Has anyone seen Lucy?" The blue haired bookworm said, making everyone quiet, having thought they hope wouldn't be, but was.

"Please don't tell me that Lucy went with Natsu and Happy." Makarov groaned. "Well, due to them doing missions so well together, I wouldn't be surprised if they did." Erza said. "That does it! Gray! Go and retrieve Natsu, Happy and Lucy! And make sure to bring them back soon as possible so I can give them their punishment for taking a S-class mission without permission." Makarov said.

The Ice Mage went up and then started to go and find Natsu. "Sure, I do have my own things to own handle with Empty Brain." Gray said while he left the guild to retrieve Natsu, Lucy and Happy. Mira looked the floor, as she thought. "Natsu, please be safe, alongside with Lucy and Happy."

At the same time, with Natsu, Lucy and Happy...

Natsu and the gang arrived at the town of Hargeon, which they were currently in the harbor to look for a boat to ride, but each time they tried to ask one ride towards the Galuna Island, they were rejected by frightened travelers who didn't even want to see the island. Lucy couldn't expect less from not wanting to go to a cursed island.

After a while of searching after someone to take them, Natsu, Lucy and Happy sat down to rest and think what to do.

"Ugh, this is getting nowhere. Maybe we should have given the job back to the guild." Lucy sighed. "Don't be so pessimistic, Lucy." Natsu said. "Yeah, remember, the reward is seven million Jewels. You can pay your rent easier if you do." Happy said.

"You will have more trouble than to pay your rent when you get back to the guild." Gray said from behind, making the trio jump away in fright.

"SHIT, IT´S GRAY!" Happy shouted. "WE´RE DOOMED, I KNEW I SHOULDN'T HAVE GONE ON THIS!" Lucy screamed. "Well Gray, what brings you here, teacher´s pet?" Natsu asked the Ice Mage. "Don't play fucking stupid, Natsu. You have done a heck of a crime here and you want to face Erza´s wrath." Gray said, striking fear in Happy and Lucy, despite Natsu having defeated her, imagining Erza in demon mode while they trembled.

Natsu simply smirked and then. "Well Gray, you should know one thing..." Natsu said, and then knocked out Gray with a darkness coated punch. "...that I defeated Erza, so don't forget it!" Natsu said.

"WHY THE FUCK DID YOU DO THAT?!" Lucy screamed.

"Don't worry, he is just knocked out. He´ll be awake." Natsu said as he picked him up and tossed him over his shoulder.

"Hello, I heard you needed a ride to Galuna Island?" A voice said, making Natsu, Lucy and Happy turn around to see a man with a light green cloak, a blue cap and a black mustache.

"My name is Bobo and I heard you needed a ride towards the Galuna Island?" Bobo asked. "Yeah, you think you can take us there?" Natsu asked. "Sure, I take can take you there, but are you really sure you want to go to that island?" Bobo asked.

"Don't worry, we are mages. We handle stuff like this daily." Natsu said, showing his mark while Happy and Lucy did the same.

"I see no other way to object. Jump onboard." Bobo said, which the trio did, with Natsu taking Gray, who was still knocked out, onboard.

"Is that really wise to bring him to the mission?" Lucy asked. "Well, if we left him, he would probably go and tell Erza, and we don't want to deal with Erza´s wrath, right?" Natsu said, making Lucy tremble with fear of encountering Erza´s wrath, as she didn't want to encounter.

Later, at the sea...

As Natsu, along with Lucy, Happy and the unconscious Gray, rode on the boat, which was rode by the sailor Bobo. Natsu could only be green and hang on the side because of his motion sickness.

"I know this is a cursed island we are going to, but is it really that terrifying?" Lucy said. "Well, the curse is not the only thing that is so fearsome about that island." Bobo said, making Lucy widen her eyes with terror, as she got to know something other than the curse was so terrible. "More than the curse?" Lucy said. "Yeah. That island is filled with demons." Bobo said darkly. Making Lucy and Happy tremble with fear.

"Why do you know so much of this?" Happy asked. "Well, years ago, I was from that Island, and I don't think you can try to take the curse off, because..." Bobo said and showed his arm, which was black and demonic, horrifying Lucy, Happy and even Natsu, despite being still motion sick.

"Tsh, the curse only brought us demons and misfortune. We all begged if we ever could see it disappear, which is something we can't even dream of." Bobo said. "Don't say that, we´ll promise that we will take care of whatever scum did that to put on that curse. Right, Natsu?" Lucy said, which Natsu tried to say, but his motion sickness took him over, making Lucy sweat drop.

"Anyway, I see the island now." Bobo said, which Lucy and Happy saw Galuna Island could now be seen. "Alright, what do we do now, Bobo...?" Lucy said, but then stopped once she saw that now Bobo was gone. "Huh, where is he...?" Lucy said, but then noticed a massive wave coming toward them.

"SHIT, A WAVE IS COMING TOWARDS US!" Lucy screamed, which then Natsu was knocked over into the water, the second he got off the motion sickness disappeared and before he celebrated that he was off that death machine, he sent a beam of darkness at the wave.

"ABYSS DRAGON ROAR!" Natsu sent the beam, which erased the wave. "Well, that was close." Lucy said, as she then told Natsu to jump into the boat, much to Natsu´s horror.

Later, at the shore of Galuna Island...

"So this is Galuna Island? It doesn't seem that cursed to me." Happy said as he looked around.

"Shit, what the hell happened?" Gray said as she suddenly woke up, making Lucy and Happy scared that he would tell Erza. "Gray, I won´t let you stop our mission." Natsu said as his Magic power raised high enough to scare normal people senseless.

"Tsh. Empty Brain, don't get the wrong idea. I won't stop you, I´ll go on the mission." Gray said, silencing Happy and Lucy. "And why do you want to go with us so suddenly?" Natsu asked as his Magic lowered back to normal.

"Don't give me that 'And why do you want go with us so suddenly'- crap. I too want to go on an S-class mission, because I want to prove that I can also be an S-Class Mage." Gray said. Natsu looked at him for a moment in the eyes, thinking if he would do something to stop him and the rest from doing the mission, Natsu would beat Gray up.

"Okay, I will stop you if you ever do anything suspicious." Natsu warned. "And you end up taking all the glory, I´ll never forgive you." Gray warned back.

"Okay, but now that´s settled, how are we going to find the people who live in the island?" Lucy said.

"I might be able to help you." A voice said, making Natsu, Lucy, Gray and Happy turn around and see a woman with tribal clothing and short black hair.

"My name is Lulu and you must be Mages who came here to stop the curse." Lulu said. "Can you lead us to the village?" Natsu asked. "Of course. Follow me." Lulu said as walked to her village, with Natsu and the others following her.

Later, at the village...

Natsu, Gray, Lucy and Happy were currently in front of the village, with the villagers circled around them, with the Village Chief, a small bald man wearing tribal clothing and had a dark cape covering him.

"I am glad you came here, Mages. I am Moka, the Village Chief." Moka introduced.

"I am Natsu, and this is Lucy, Happy and Gray. We are from the Guild Fairy Tail." Natsu said as they showed their guild marks.

"I see. But as you see, this is what the curse does." Moka took off his cape, showing his large, blue demonic arm. It shocked the Mages. "Years ago, a curse happened on this island, turning us into demons." Moka said as various villagers showed their body parts which became demonic, making the Mages widen with shock.

"And that´s not all. Because at night, when the moon turns purple..." Moka said, which the moon then turned purple, and turned the villagers into full demons!

Natsu and they others were shocked by the sight of that.

"...We all turn into full demons." Moka said, whose skin was now blue, had now large blue hands and large blue horns from his head. "We have tried everything to undo this. But now even our greatest medicine men could not cure it. And eventually, some of us even lost our minds, forcing us to kill them before they eventually go fully insane... even if they were our loved ones..." Moka said as he then fell down on his knees. "Like my son, Bobo..." Moka said with tears. It shocked the wizards.

"Bobo? Isn't that...?" Natsu said, but Lucy stopped him by putting a hand on his mouth. "Natsu, don't cause any confusions. There was no way that could be him." Lucy whispered.

The chief, Moka got up and then with tearful eyes. "We have one desire to beg of you. Destroy the moon! It´s the cause of this curse!" Moka said, which the others villager shouted "Destroy the moon!"

"Natsu, what are going to do? Are we really going to destroy the moon?" Happy asked Natsu, who then grinned. "Whatever the job is, Fairy Tail never cowardly rejects them. Whatever it is, we will finish this job and put an end to this curse." Natsu said as darkness coated his hands. "It´s time to taste the dark!" Natsu said.

Later, at the jungle...

"Natsu, are you sure that destroying the Moon is the best option? I mean, it is super impossible, even for you!" Lucy said. "Well, if that is what they said, then I should do it." Natsu said with his hands behind the back of his head. "Even if you could, think of all the bad things that would happen." Lucy said. "I agree with her, Natsu. There must be another way to undo the curse." Gray said.

"But then, it´s strange, to see that Bobo guy had died. I mean, we saw him earlier today, which is very strange." Lucy said. "Maybe it was his ghost." Happy said, making Lucy shiver with fear at the thought of it.

Suddenly, something crashed in front of them, which then caused a massive cloud of dust, which then revealed a massive rat wearing a maid uniform.

"SHIT, THE RATS ARE GONNA HAVE THEIR REVENGE ON CATKIND FOR EATING THEM!" Happy cried. "WHY DO UGLY MAIDS ALWAYS COME AND HARASS ME!" Lucy cried as she remembered the Daybreak job.

"Tsh, what a pain. Abyss Dragon Iron Fist!" Natsu said and punched the rat in the face, sending it flying to the air.

"What the hell was that?" Gray said. "I don't know, but we aren't alone on the island." Natsu said. "It must be them who are causing the curse here." Lucy said. "Anyway, let´s get moving, we need to move and fix this curse." Gray said, with the others agreed.

Later, the four Fairy Tail Mages walked in the jungle until they came across a temple. Natsu then sensed with his enhanced senses a massive amount of Magic power coming, which came from under the temple.

"I can sense a massive amount of Magic coming from under the temple." Natsu said. "There might be an underground staircase to where the Magic power is coming from." Lucy said. "Then let´s go in." Natsu said and went inside, with the others following him.

Later, after they walked inside the corridors of the temple for a while, Natsu suddenly stopped and his hand in front of the others, making them stop too.

"What´s the matter, Natsu?" Lucy said. "I can sense a strong Magic Energy coming under us. Stay back, everyone." Natsu said, which they did and then Natsu punched the floor, breaking into pieces.

As a hole was made, the Mages of Fairy Tail watched the tunnel leading into darkness. Without saying anything more, Natsu picked Lucy up bridal style, much to the blonde´s shock and embarrassment, getting a blush on her face.

"O-oi! What are you doing, Natsu?!" Lucy said embarrassingly with a blush on her face. "What does it look like? It´s very deep down there, so you need to hold onto me tight so you don't get hurt." Natsu said. "I c-can handle that myself, I can use one of my Celestial Spirits to easily go down the tunnel." Lucy said as she blushed. "He liiiiiiikes you." Happy teased. "SHUSH CAT!" Lucy yelled embarrassed with a blush, making Natsu laugh and Gray sigh.

And with that they jumped into the hole Natsu made, and before long, they landed on the ground.

As they looked around walked, they finally stopped once they saw something they couldn't believe was real.

It was a giant demon with horns, spikes across its body and a large mane.

"What the hell is that..." Lucy said, terrified. Gray, was the one terrified and shocked the most. "Impossible... what the fucking hell is it doing here... Deliora..." Gray said beyond terrified. Lucy then noticed something coming from the purple moon, seeming to melt the ice holding the demon prisoner. "The Moon must be giving something to melt the ice." Lucy said.

"This must where the huge amount of Magic Power came from." Natsu thought, but then noticed the pale Gray. "Gray, you know this thing...?" Natsu asked. Before Gray could answer, Natsu heard voices with his enchanted senses.

"We have company. Everyone hide." Natsu said, which they others did. As they hid behind the stones, they saw two men coming. One was a man with blue hair, thick, black eye brows, black pants and a green jacket. The other was a man wearing blue jeans, was shirtless and had many doglike features.

"Well Toby, it seems like you had been too close to the Moon Drip." The blue haired man said. "HEY, YUKA! THESE ARE FASHIONABLE AND COMPLETELY NATURAL, YOU ASSHOLE!" Toby yelled. "I was only kidding, you idiot." Yuka said as he sweat dropped.

"Yuka! Toby!" A female voice said, which was a woman with blue eyes, pink hair in pigtails and gothic lolita dress in black and white.

"Sherry, is there something wrong?" Yuka asked. "You can bet there is. Angelica has been hurt! Can you imagine what pain it must be to hurt in a mission of duty and love!" Sherry said as the put "love"-part very high. Yuka sweat dropped. "She is only a rat, what else could she do?" Yuka said. "Have some feelings. Anyway, it seems we have intruders here. We need to stop them before they interfere with Reitiei-sama´s plans... and love!" Sherry said, making Yuka and Toby sweat drop. "We need to inform this about Reitei-sama." Yuka said. "REITEI-SAMA`S PLANS WILL NOT BE INTERFERED BY SOME STUPID INTRUDERS!" Toby yelled. "Not so loud, you idiot." Yuka said as he and the rest if the trio left the scene.

Natsu and the others had heard everything. "Natsu, why didn't you beat them up? They seemed pretty weak to me." Happy said. "If we did attack them, they wouldn't talk to us about their plans, and despite their appearance, they don't seem to be the type to betray their master." Natsu said. "Who is this "Reitei" anyway?" Lucy said. "And also, did you also hear that they used something called Moon Drip?" Happy said. "If I remember right, Moon Drip is something used do deactivate Spells, even the most powerful ones." Lucy said and looked at the purple moon again. "It must be coming from the Moon and then onto the ice to melt it.

Gray had his eyes shadowed as he stared into the ground blankly. "Gray, you know something about this?" Natsu asked. Gray then turned his head up and faced his other guild mates. He took a deep sigh and then...

"Many years ago, back at the village I was born in the north, a demon with the name Deliora came and attacked. It destroyed the village and killed my parents. In the midst of the ruins of the village, an Ice Mage named Ur, came and saved me from death. She, along with another child named Lyon, trained me into using Ice Magic." Gray said as he told the other Fairy Tail Mages about what he, Ur and Lyon did under the training, until they finally came across Deliora.

"...during the battle, Deliora overpowered Ur, and before Deliora could kill us three, Ur then cast down Iced Shell, a powerful Ice Magic Spell that freezes the victim in a way that is impossible to break free from. The cost of it is the user´s life." Gray explained. The others were stunned by Gray´s story. "As she died, she fully froze Deliora, sealing the demon away for good. But seeing Ur die was something both me and Lyon could never forget. She was a true parent to us, and taught us things we will never forget." Gray said. The Ice Mage then remembered the last words of Ur before she died.

"Gray, I want Lyon to discover the world, and of course, you too. You don't need to be sad. I´m alive. As ice, I am eternally alive. Step into your future and I´ll take the darkness away."

Gray could only have tears in his eyes as the words came once again to haunt him, but he shoved these aside as he now remembered the current situation.

"But it seems like this "Reitei-guy" are going to use Moon Drip to undo the Iced Shell Spell. I don't know why they want to unleash Deliora, but if they succeed..." Gray said, and then thought of the wasted lands which will be in ruin if the Demon was again free. "...It will never be something good." Gray said.

Then suddenly, the Moon stopped pouring down Moon Drip on the ice prison of the demon.

"It stopped." Lucy said. "What are we going to do now, Natsu?" Happy said. "We´ll stay here." Natsu said, which Gray was against that. "But if we attack now, we can stop them before they use Moon Drip to free Deliora. "And do we know where they are when they are not trying to free a demon? No, and besides, we need some rest. We have gone a whole night without any sleep." Natsu said. "He does have a point, Gray. We need some rest before we can make our move." Happy said. "And besides, once the Purple Moon has returned, we can go up and probably meet those assholes and beat them all at the same time." Natsu said as he then got into rest.

Lucy, Happy and even Gray agreed with him, though he wanted to handle the Demon. "It might be able to take some time, but I have something we can entertain." Lucy said and then took out one of her Silver Keys.

"Open! Gate of The Lyre! Lyra!" Lucy said, which then a Magic Circle appeared and a woman with a white cap, blue dress, light brown hair and a lyre.

"What song would you like to hear, Lucy-san?" Lyra asked. "Any song, as long it is entertaining." Lucy said. "As you wish." Lyra said and then started to play with her lyre. As her angelic music played, it was very beautiful, which then Gray think back to his childhood days with his master Ur and co-pupil Lyon.

Later, the next night...

As Natsu and the others rested for the upcoming fight, the Moon suddenly got purple again. "The Moon Drip is on again." Lucy said. "They use it from the top." Gray said. "Then let's get up there. We have no time to lose." Natsu said, which the others agree."

After they went to the upper part of the mountain, they a large group of people wearing hooded cloaks, the trio from before and a man with a blue and yellow jacket, black pants, silver boots, a white cape and a mask covering his face.

"That asshole must be the Reitei guy." Natsu thought.

"Reitei-sama, we have searched the island for the intruders, but we haven't caught them yet." A man wearing a horned red mask with a long green fur line, a light brown cape, a red shirt and black pants said.

"No need for worry, Zalty. As if these imbeciles can come and fool my plan of reviving Deliora." Reitei said.

"That scent, it smells familiar." Natsu said as he sniffed with Zalty´s smell with his enhanced smell.

"That voice, could it be...?" Gray thought. "They seem to be performing some kind of ritual to make Moon Drip come from the Moon and onto Deliora. And since it is such a large object, they seem to need a large amount of it and time to completely free the demon." Lucy said.

"Reitei-sama, what are we going to do with the Villagers? They seem to bother us very recently." Yuka asked. "Kill them all. I don't care what method you use, as long as they will no longer interfere." Reitei said.

"As you wish, Reitiei-sama. I, Angelica, Yuka and Toby will destroy the village, in the name of love." Sherry said, much to Yuka´s annoyance.

"Shit, I can't take this shit anymore." Gray said and then jumped into the scene before Natsu, Lucy and Happy could stop him.

"Alright assholes!" Gray said, getting the attention of Reitei, Zalty, the trio and the hooded people. "I don't what the hell you are trying to do, but whatever you do, you need to stop this, or else Master Ur´s sacrifice will be in vain... Lyon." Gray said.

"Hm, you seem to be slow as always..." Reitei said as he took off his mask, showing to have white hair and black eyes.

"...Gray." Lyon said as he revealed himself. "Bastard, what the hell do you think you´re doing!" Gray said with rage in his voice. "Sherry, Yuka and Toby. Take Angelica to the village and annihilate them all. Zalty and i will handle things here." Lyon ordered, which the trio did.

Natsu, who seemed to think it was pointless to be hiding anymore went out of the hiding spot and then Lucy. "I will go and try to stop the trio from attacking the village." Lucy said. "Do that. And me, Happy and Gray handle the rest." Natsu said as he and the rest of the hooded people surrounded them with weapons as Lucy ran to stop the trio.

"I will make sure to not let you interfere with my plans." Lyon said as he gathered a large amount of Ice Magic Energy.

"Alright, it´s time to taste the dark!" Natsu said as he gathered a large amount of darkness in his hands, which then swirled in hands and then slammed them to the ground, sending a black shockwave towards the hooded people, defeating them all in one blow.

"Is that all you got? I have seen better fighting before." Natsu said as he was surrounded by Lyons men who were unconscious.

Lyon could only cold sweat as he witnessed Natsu´s strength in defeating all his men in one blow.

"I can't believe it... so this is the infamous Void Knight of Fairy Tail, Natsu Dragyama. I heard he had recently coming back after disappearing for two years." Lyon said and then. "Zalty, take down the pink haired intruder before he causes anymore damage." Lyon ordered Zalty.

"IT'S NOT PINK, IT´S SALMON YOU ASSHOLE!" Natsu yelled enraged. "As you wish, Lyon-sama." Zalty said and then went to fight Natsu.

"I won't go easy on you, Mask Guy." Natsu said. "Don't underestimate me, Dragon Slayer. You will regret that." Zalty said and then orbs appeared around him, before the orbs touched the ground, making it them crumble. "What´s going on?" Natsu said as the ground turned into bits. "Don't worry, I am only giving the two of us a new battleground." Zalty said as the ground finally gave in and made the two fall into the hole. "NATSU!" Happy screamed as he flew into the hole.

As they were gone, Gray and Lyon looked at each other until.

"Lyon, why are you trying revive Deliora?" Gray asked the white haired man. "Have you not yet figured it out? It´s to surpass Master Ur, by taking down the monster not even she could kill: Deliora." Lyon answered. "Bastard, do you have any idea what Ur would say if you did that? She would never forgive you." Gray said. "It would likely be you that Ur wouldn't forgive, since it was you that was the cause of her death." Lyon said, much to Gray´s anger. "DON'T FUCK WITH ME!" Gray said, as he then. "Ice Make: Cannon!" Gray made an ice cannon and shot a cannon ball of ice a Lyon.

"Foolish as usual, that´s something that´ll never change." Lyon said and then "Ice Make: Snow Tiger!" Lyon made a tiger of Ice, which overpowered Gray´s attack. "Give it up, Gray. Your Static Ice Make is no match for my Dynamic Ice Make." Lyon said. Gray gritted his teeth. "As if I am going to let Ur´s sacrifice be in vain, you asshole!" Gray said and then. "Ice Make: Hammer!" Gray said as he then made a hammer of Ice.

At the same time, with Natsu and Zalty...

Natsu fell on his feet on the ground, as Zalty did the same. "What the hell is the kind of Magic you used, Mask Guy?" Natsu asked. "Lost Magic." Zalty said. "Huh?" Natsu said.

"Let me explain. Lost Magic is a type of Magic that due to their immense power and side effects have been obliterated from the history of the world. An example of that is your Dragon Slayer Magic, and my Magic, Arc of Time..." Zalty said as orbs started appear. "Allows me to affect the "time" of objects of non-living things, making it decay rapidly." Zalty explained.

"Well, since it only affects non- living objects, it seems It´ll be a piece of cake for me!" Natsu said. Zalty then sent his orbs towards Natsu. "Infinite Sphere!" Zalty sent the orb at Natsu´s stomach, which then hit it and then hit Natsu from every angle. "As if this will stop me!" Natsu said as he grabbed the orb and erased it with his Magic.

"Don't be so arrogant." Zalty said, which then the orbs appeared again. "Huh? I thought I erased it." Natsu said. "Even if they are erased into thin air, they will come back, as time never went on." Zalty said, and then sent more orbs at Natsu.

"Abyss Dragon Roar!" Natsu sent a stream of darkness from his mouth, which erased them and then made the orbs appear again. "Hours of Direction." Zalty said as then the orbs then went towards Natsu at the same time, countered by Natsu's next attack. "Abyss Dragon Talon!" Natsu kicked with his darkness coated foot. "There is more for you to come." Zalty sent more orbs at Natsu. "Impact Destination. " Zalty said as a hundred orbs went to Natsu in the same direction. "Abyss Dragon Roar!" Natsu countered the attack.

"Hm, I am very impressed with you, Void Knight." Zalty said. "I am not done yet! Abyss Dragon Black Pillar!" Natsu sent a pillar of darkness at Zalty, which came at a great speed. Zalty used a thousand orbs to block the attack, which then didn't do much, forcing him do dodge. As the attack hit the cave wall, it made a large hole on it. "Gosh, that man is a monster." Zalty said to himself, and then. "You shouldn't let your guard down for even a minute." Natsu said as he then appeared and then punched Zalty in the face, sending him into the ground. As Zalty landed on the ground, Natsu walked towards the masked man.

"Well, you are much stronger than I thought. I believe we need to finish our fight next time." Zalty said. "Don't even think I will let you run away from the fight like a dog." Natsu said. "Don't you think your friend Gray is needed for is battle against Reitei-sama?" Zalty said.

Natsu then used his enhanced senses to hear that Gray had been beaten bloodily by Lyon. "Shit! Gray is in danger." Natsu said, as he then noticed Zalty then taking the opportunity to escape. "Don't worry, Void Knight. We´ll meet again, and hopefully, we´ll settle everything." Zalty said as he then disappeared. Natsu gritted his teeth in rage as he let his opponent escape, but he needed to save his Nakama, even if it was his rival Gray.

"Gray, whatever you do, don't you freaking die!" Natsu said as he dashed towards where Gray and Lyon fought.

At the same time, with Lyon and Gray...

"Ice Make: Ice Geyser!" Gray put his both hands on the ground a made a tower of ice spikes, which Lyon easily countered.

Gray panted his breath, as he was heavily injured and bleed everywhere. "What the matter, Gray? It seems you have become a lot weaker than I thought." Lyon mocked and then. "Ice Make: Eagle!" Lyon said and then shot a swarm of ice eagles at Gray, who tried to block them making a shield of ice, which the eagles then dodged and then hit him. "Didn't I tell you? My Dynamic Ice Make allows me to make objects that live, and soon it will be used to defeat Deliora." Lyon said.

"Screw you and defeating Deliora! You couldn't even defeat him years ago! What makes you think you can defeat him now?!" Gray said. "SHUT UP! Ice Make: Ape!" Lyon said and then made a giant ape of ice, which then attacked Gray, who then used his Ice Bazooka to blow it´s head off, making it fall down to bits.

Lyon took the opportunity to then. "Ice Make: Snow Dragon!" Lyon sent a massive dragon at Gray, which hit him and knocked him down.

After Gray landed on the ground, Lyon walked towards him while making a sword of ice and pointed it at his throat.

"Gray, as always you argue with me. Currently, I need to prove that I am superior to Ur, and I will not allow you to interfere, even if it means killing you." Lyon said as he stomped Gray´s chest, making him cough blood and then raised the sword, preparing to stab him.

"DON'T EVEN FUCKING THINK ABOUT IT!" Roared Natsu and then punched Lyon in the abdomen with a darkness coated fist, making him fly away to a pillar.

Natsu turned around to see the bloodied Gray on the ground.

"Natsu, you asshole... why did you...?" Gray said, but coughed up blood. "You may be my rival, but you are still my guildmate. You know that never abandon my guildmates." Natsu said. Gray gave a small smile.

Lyon rose from the debris and then. "You are going to regret crossing paths with me. Ice Make: Diamond Cage!" Lyon made a spiky ice cage appear around Natsu´s abdomen. "Wow, this shit. Oh bother." Natsu sighed and used his Magic to make the cage disappear, shocking Lyon.

"Impossible." Said Lyon, not believing what he saw. "Don't worry, you too are going to disappear." Natsu grinned as he coated his arms into darkness.

"Let´s finish our battle next time, Void Knight." Lyon said and then made a large bat of ice which he used to ride on to escape. "Damn it, come back here you asshole!" Natsu yelled, but then saw Gray lying there bloodied. Seeing not option but to save the Ice Mage, Natsu went to Gray and picked him up.

"Don't worry, Gray, because once we find that asshole, we´ll beat him up. But first, we need to find Lucy and help her stop the trio of bastards." Natsu said and then headed to the village where it was about to be attacked.

At the same time, with Lucy...

"Hey, when I thought about stopping them..." Lucy said. "I thought it wouldn't end to this situation." Lucy said as she hung on Angelica´s claw feet.

"Lucy!" Happy said as he flied to the scene. "Happy?" Lucy said. "Let me carry you, and don't worry, I can carry one person of your weight." Happy said. "Am I really that heavy?" Lucy said as she sweat dropped.

Happy grabbed Lucy and then carried her from Angelica who flew in the air and carried a bucket of some strange substance.

Lucy and Happy watched in horror as the trio were already over the village and then Angelica poured the substance onto the village.

"Shit, it´s acid! It´s going to melt the village!" Lucy screamed.

"Abyss Dragon's Roar!" A stream of darkness was sent at the acid, erasing it completely.

Natsu, who sent the attack, watched Lucy from the ground. "LUCY! TAKE THE CHANCE TO BRING THE RODENT DOWN!" Natsu shouted while carrying Gray.

"Huh? Natsu´s right, I need to do something too." Lucy said and then took one of her Golden Keys. "Open! Gate of the Golden Bull! Taurus!" Lucy said, summoned Taurus and then ordered him to attack the rat, which he did, sending them to the ground with crash.

As the trio got up from the attack, Lucy was dropped by Happy, and Natsu having dropped Gray to be tended to his injuries to the villagers, came to face the trio.

"YOU BITCH! YOU WILL PAY FOR HARMING ANGELICA! IN THE NAME OF LOVE, I WILL AVENGE HER!" Sherry yelled enraged.

"Not if I take you down first!" Lucy said. "Lucy, I'll take care of Dog Guy and Big Eyebrows. You go and finish that Gothic Lolita cosplayer." Natsu said. "Okay, I promise I will be back." Lucy said and then went to another place to fight Sherry.

"You shouldn't be so cocky. Who you are facing now is the Mage who is immune to all Magic!" Yuka said and used his Wave Magic. "You will pay for getting in our way, you son of a bitch!" Toby said as he got into fighting position. "Let's see about that! Abyss Dragon's Iron Fist!" Natsu sent a fist of darkness at Yuka, who smirked as he knew that it would be nullified. But then, even though it went through, it didn't change a thing, much to Yuka´s shock. "What?!" Yuka said and noticed the Wave was gone as well, and was then punched in the face, sending him to the ground.

"Shit... why didn't it nullify your Magic...?" Yuka said in pain while he laid on the ground. "You thought something that lame could stop it? Abyss Dragon Slayer Magic does not only nullify Magic, it erases them into nothing." Natsu said. "Damn... you..." Yuka said as he passed out. "YOU SON OF A BITCH! YOU WILL PAY FOR DOING THAT TO MY BUDDY!" Yelled Toby and then his nails got longer. "Take this! Paralysis Claw: Mega Jellyfish!" Toby attack Natsu with his claws, who dodged them. "Even one strike will knock you down and bring pain you never felt before!" Said Toby while he attacked Natsu, who dodged and then jumped away and then.

"Oi, you got something there." Natsu said and pointed to his crotch to show the dog man where it was. "Hm? Here?" Toby said and then touched his family jewels with his claws still on, shocking and knocking out the dog man while giving immense pain, mostly to his family jewels. (AN: You have no idea how long I wanted to do that).

Natsu watched the K.O:ed Toby laying on the ground, Happy came to his side and then. "Natsu, what do you think we should do?" The blue cat said. Natsu grinned and then. "The fight hasn't even started. That Ice Bastard and Mask Douchebag ran away like dogs with the tail between their legs. But I will make sure to pay these assholes back, cause it´s time for them to taste the dark." Natsu said and coated his hands into darkness.

End of chapter 9.

And that´s it for chapter 9, I hope you guys enjoyed and if you did, please review, favorite and follow. I hope I didn't rush it at the end, but I wanted to make sure to get it over with it. I wanted to make the chapter long as possible, but not too long. Also, if you thought I made Lucy useless, such as she watching stuff happening instead of fighting, shut up, cause I am going to make sure to have her fight Sherry in the next chapter. As for Gray, I am going skip his story, cause we all know his backstory already, and also, I have some good plans for the future. Sorry I didn't make Natsu use his Dark Make against Zalty, but you´ll see more in the future. As for Natsu´s Lullaby Take Over, don't worry, I have plans for it.
