A day later in Fiore.

Currently located at the harboring sea town, Hargeon. Natsu along with Happy, Lucy, Erza, and Gray had just arrived to the place after leaving Magnolia for the S-class request.

"We finally arrived at Hargeon…" Lucy said as she looks at the sunny sky. "though, I can't believe we arrive this fast."

"Tell that to Natsu, he's the one who wanted to get here as soon as possible." Gray told her while pointing at Natsu who came passing by him and had Happy riding on his shoulder.

"You'll feel the same once you got a wife who'll drain you dry to the bone, icehead." Natsu said as he then looks a bit grim. "I just hope my excuse of being here would work on her."

"What excuse?" Lucy asks.

"Aye, he told Cana that he and me are going on a mission together to make some money." Happy replied. "he didn't mention about the S-class at all."

"And you made that kind of excuse because?" Lucy asks while sounding very confused.

"the last time me and Cana went on an S-class mission together, we returned 3 months late and after that she got pregnant with Conny." Natsu said with a slightly blushing face. "at that time, it was before we got married."

"o-oh…" Lucy made a noise while looking very red and embarrassed. "sorry I asked."

"everyone, hurry up." Erza called out to the group as the scarlet knight is already ahead with her immense luggage. "we need to find transport to get to Galuna Island."

"hope it's going to be easy considering how much luggage she got." Gray said while imagining a cartoon image of Erza getting her luggage on a small boat that soon sinks in seconds.

"we'll definitely need a ship for this." Lucy stated with a sweatdrop.

"we can just store her stuff with my Storage Cards, remember?" Natsu said as he went on and followed after Erza. "can't waste too much jewels to rent a damn ship."

The group heads to the harbor as they searched for sailors who would take them on their quest, but a problem arised.

"Galuna Island? Yeah, right! We ain't going near that place!" "forget it! We don't even want to hear that name!" "Sailors from around here won't even talk about that island. Let alone try to go near it!" "the place is cursed. Going there'd be nothing but bad news." "I dunno what your story is, but you won't find any sailors willing to go there. Not even pirates would go there at all!" the sailors all gave negative replies as not one would dare to take the group on the quest.

Now the group settled near the harbor's edge as they were conversing to each other about their little problem.

"for crying out loud, this guy is the last sailor on this harbor." Gray said as he scratches the back of his head. "there's no one left."

"just why are they all avoiding the island? All because it is called a cursed island?" Lucy spoke as she looks very confused, curious, and anxious. "is the place really that bad?"

"The job wouldn't be labeled as an S-Class if it wasn't dangerous at all." Erza stated while having her arms crossed on her chest. "the fact that the sailors would not come near the place just points out the fact that this request isn't like any other."

"so what we do?" Natsu asks while sitting on a crate. "do we swim to the place?"

"I can fly there, but it'll take me an hour or so if I don't lose enough magic." Happy added in. "by the way, it's impossible to carry you all there one by one."

"are you crazy or something? Don't you know how far is Hargeon to the island?" Lucy said while sweatdropping.

"I can try making an ice bridge to there." Gray said while holding up his right hand that is emitting cold air. "though I'll be dead tired by the end of the day."

"like I said, are you crazy!?" Lucy said. "just why do you think you guys can even get there by swimming or flying or making an ice bridge of all things!"

"in any way, we have a problem for our mode of transportation." Erza said while cupping her chin. "we can try going to a nearby fishing village just a few kms away from Hargeon, but I doubt that they have people willing to help us get to Galuna Island."

"did you say Galuna Island?" a voice spoke out as everyone turns to see a man wearing a cloak and looks to be a sailor. "are you people the ones who have been asking sailors around here for a boat to Galuna Island?"

"we are." Gray replied. "and you are?"

"I'm Bobo, and I'm a sailor." The man said while introducing himself. "why are you people going to Galuna Island? For what reason?"

"we're going there to clear an S-class request that is from that island." Erza said as she takes out and reveals the S-class job paper to Bobo. "we're wizards from Fairy Tail."

"i-is that so!? Then you guys are the ones who've finally decided to take it!?" Bobo said before he held out a hand then points to a nearby large boat docked a few boats nearby. "take my boat! I'll get you guys there!"

"huh? Really?" Lucy said. "but why?"

"yeah, all the other sailors don't want to go there, but why you?" Gray said while crossing his arms. "it sounds fishy."

"the reason is because I was once an inhabitant of Galuna Island." Bobo stated with a serious look on his face. "and I'm the one who wishes to get the people of my island to be saved."

This reply made the team look surprised for a moment before they looked at each other while seemingly a bit unsure.

"so? Do we go with him or not?" Gray asks.

"he says that he's a former inhabitant of the island, so he might be our best shot to get to the island, right?" Lucy stated. "if we don't go with him. I don't think we'll ever get to Galuna island."

"he doesn't sound that he's lying or anything, but I think we should go with him." Natsu said before he looks at Erza. "what about you, Erza? It's your call for the team to go with the guy or not."

Erza cups her chin as she thinks about it for a minute before she nodded and looks at Bobo.

"we'll take your offer, Bobo." Erza stated. "take us to Galuna Island."

Bobo nodded before he leads everyone to his boat.


Some hours later, at night time.

Back at Fairy Tail. The guild is a bit empty as most of the members have gone home for the day.

Some like Makarov is at the bar as he is just drinking beer while lazing around. Cana is also found sitting nearby as the card mage is with her daughter who she cradles close to her chest as the child is fast asleep.

Watching her daughter sleep, Cana smiles while patting her back in a gentle rhythm while swaying side to side to give some motion so that her daughter continues to sleep peacefully.

"Conny-chan still in dreamland before nap time, huh?" Lisanna came by as the youngest strauss sibling just came by to place away a wooden tray after delivering some drinks to guild members who ordered them. The white haired teen leaning a bit close to Cana to get a good look at Conny's sleeping face. "she sure is a sleepyhead."

"She got that from her daddy." Cana said with a smile as she went and pecked her daughter's head then begins to caress her back. "she's always sleepy when Mommy holds her, right?"

"and I thought it was Lucy who does most of the baby talk." Mira made an appearance as she was cleaning behind the bar before coming by while drying her hands with a small towel. The oldest strauss sibling giggling with a smile. "though I guess you would do the same with your daughter."

"From time to time." Cana said as she shifted Conny's sleeping position. "or when Natsu's not around."

"He'll definitely try to mimic you if he finds out." Lisanna giggles.

As Cana was cradling Conny, the little baby woke up from her nap as she yawns while stretching her little arms out.

"already awake?" Cana said with a smile while caressing her daughter's head multiple times. "It's already night time, don't wanna take another nap?"

Conny yawns again before drowsily close her eyes and leans against her mother's chest to take another nap once again.

"looks like it was just a quick wake up call before another nap." Mira giggles as Cana sighs with a smile before she takes out a magic card that she flips in her fingers once to magically summon a whiteish red thin blanket which she uses to wrap around Conny to her chest in making a sleep sack.

"there we go." Cana mumbled as she had the sleepsack wrapped and Conny snuggled quietly in it. The card mage patted her child's back and begins caressing it. "all snug like a bug in a rug."

"Where you learned to do that?" Lisanna asks while peeking in the sleeping sack and sees how Conny is looking so peaceful sleeping in it. "Conny-chan looks like she likes it."

"learned it from some other mothers in the town who learned it from some other mothers." Cana said as she takes out another magic card that she flips out to show the picture of a wine bottle and glasses before the items appeared on the bar table via a puff of pink smoke. The card mage begins to pour herself a drink. "they taught me how to do it and I was surprised at how Conny would quickly fall asleep in it."

"yeah, she looks all snuggled up." Mira said while giggling before she made a knowing look at Cana who held the glass of wine. "also, is that the new alcohol free drink that Natsu bought for you? And it's not some wine, right?"

"I have Conny with me right now, you think I want to drink when I have my baby girl with me?" Cana said with an accusing stare at Mira before she took a few sips from her alcohol and sighs a bit. "besides, Natsu confiscated all my alcoholic drinks and would only give them back once I pass a year or so."

"leave it to Natsu to keep you healthy and safe." Lisanna giggles.

"yeah, it's nice of him but it's also annoying." Cana sighs before she finishes the drink in one gulp and then sighs. "and it's going to be more annoying in a few more months."

"why?" Mira asks while raising an eyebrow.

"it's because…" Cana pours herself another drink and held the glass near her lips, but her cheeks were blushing a bit for some reason. "I think I might be pregnant again."

"A-AGAIN!?" Lisanna and Mira exclaimed in shock before they quickly shut their mouth because their loud voice made Conny whimper in her nap but was quickly soothe by Cana who caresses her head while give out shushing whispers. The two sisters then asks in a quiet voice. "y-you sure?"

"I've been having cravings for salty things for the past few weeks and I've been doing a lot of it with Natsu back home, so I think so?" Cana said while looking a bit embarrassed. "though I'm not that sure until I check with Porlyusica-san."

"you two really plan to get lots of kids, huh?" Mira said while looking a bit exasperated. "I mean, seriously? You guys plan for how many? 5? 6? Just how many?"

"let's just talk about that after we see if I'm pregnant again or not." Cana said as she drinks her wine down in one gulp and sighs. "and also after Natsu comes back as well."

The girls chattered with one another as Makarov listens and could only keep quiet while drinking his beer.

'to be young, is it?' Makarov thought while sipping his beer quietly. 'though I think it'd be better if those two lovebirds tone it down from time to time. Not even I would be handle that many kids especially how they would act like their own parents.'


Back with Natsu and his team. They are currently in the middle of the sea as they ride on Bobo's boat which is sailing through the course that would lead straight for Galuna Island.

Bobo is manning the ship while Natsu and the others chatted with one another.

"I know it's a bit too late, but I'm kinda getting scared now." Lucy spoke out.

"You're saying that now?" Gray said after sighing. "it's way too late now to back away."

"let's just think of something else for now." Erza stated. "after we arrive to the island, we should go and find the inhabitants to get a better picture of the situation." She then looks at Bobo. "since you are a former inhabitant of the island, I can assume that you know the location of the inhabitants as well?"

"yeah." Bobo nodded. "The people of the island lives in a village that is located at the center of the island. It's guarded with large wooden walls, so you can find it easily."

"Anything else we should know about the place?" Natsu asks while Happy is on his shoulder, eating fish.

"there is." Bobo nodded before he looks to the side and his face looks a bit dark. "be careful of the moon."

"be careful of the moon? What do you mean?" Lucy asks.

"Galuna Island is also called the Island of the Moon because it is the only place in the world that is fully basked by the moon." Bobo said while shifting his hands around in his cloak. "but because of that, it's also cursed by the moon as well." He then reaches out a grotesque looking black arm that looks incredibly inhuman. "just like how it cursed me."

"h-hey! your hand is!?" Gray exclaimed while Lucy gasps in shock. Natsu and Erza look flabbergasted while Happy's jawdrop and his fish fell out of his mouth.

Bobo looks at his grotesque arm before he looks to the front and then pointed a finger forward.

"there, you can see it now." Bobo said as everyone looks forward and soon sees an island coming into view. "that's Galuna Island."

"that's the cursed island…" Lucy mumbled before she made a confused noise when she spotted a glow at the island's mountain top. "hey, guys. Do you see that?"

"see what?" Gray asks.

"there's something glowing at the island's mountain top." Lucy said while Natsu held up a magic card with a picture of a telescope which appears in a puff of pink smoke.

"something glowing on the mountain top?" Natsu said as he uses his telescope to see where the mountain top is and when he spotted it, he made a noise when he sees the glowing light. "she's right. There is something glowing there."

"what is it?" Erza asks and Natsu shakes his head while trying to get a better look.

"can't see it because it's too far." Natsu said as he then hands the telescope to Erza who checks it out. "we need to get closer to have a better look."

"old man, get us there closer and then we can.." Gray spoke out as he turns to look at Bobo but he soon gasps in surprise when he finds the man had disappeared. "h-hey! Where he go!?"

"he was there a minute ago!" Lucy gasps as everyone started to look around for Bobo. "don't tell me he fell into the ocean!"

"that's not possible, we didn't hear a splash or anything!" Natsu said as he looks over the boat and sees nothing but the ocean's water. "he couldn't have fallen into the ocean!"

As everyone tries to find where Bobo had disappeared to, Erza sees the ocean's water shifting as she followed the direction of where the water is going and she soon made a surprised noise when she sees a large wave of water coming their way.

"everyone! It's a tsunami!" Erza exclaimed as everyone sees the giant wave coming.

"kyaaahh! Someone do something!" Lucy screamed as she hugs with Happy who is also screaming.

"Gray! Freeze the wave! Hurry!" Happy cried out.

"it's too big! I can't freeze it all!" Gray exclaimed.

"hang on to the boat!" Natsu shouted before the giant wave came down and engulfed them all in a big splash.


At the shorelines of the Galuna Island, the waves of the ocean water splashes to the sandy beach multiple times as it brought in various objects that have floated in the waters for a long period of time.

One of the objects being a magic card that came to the shorelines as it stayed there before it flashes white and creates a huge puff of pink smoke from which came out a boat that had Natsu and the others on it.

"ooohh…that hurts…" Lucy groaned as she slowly picked herself out of the boat and looks kind of sick.

"my head.." Gray grumbled while rubbing a hand to his forehead. "I ain't gonna want to do that again."

"now you know how I feel about transportation." Natsu said as he slowly gets off the boat and got his feet on the sandy beach. He shakes his head and then looks around to see that they are currently on the island. "looks like we're on the island now."

"it appears so." Erza said as she also gets off the boat and then looks to the sea. "I worry about that sailor. He just disappeared for no reason."

"maybe he got washed up with us as well and we just didn't know it?" Happy asks while getting off the boat and then shakes his head which was covered in seaweed. "should we go and find him?"

"we should, but after we set camp tonight." Erza said as she walks around in checking their surroundings. "this looks to be a good spot to stay for the night." She then looks back at her comrades. "after we rested. Let's begin searching for the village that Bobo said; we need to get information about the incident of this island before we begin the request."

"got it." Natsu and the others replied as they all started to make preparation to build tents to stay in for tonight.


That's a wrap!

Bye bye
