Hey, Fairy Tail fans, and welcome back to a Fairy Tail re-told; I'm back with the new arc of Fairy Tail. Today is the beginning of the Galuna Island arc. I can't wait to get this arc going. I hope you enjoy it now; on to the story.

Happy: welp looks like break time is over

Gray: yep, it's time to get to work

Me: I can't, I just can't. Maybe I'll go back to the jokes.

"Wait, are you serious," Elfman asked Mira. The two were standing in the cafe. Mira was behind the counter wiping it off as she nodded. "Mystogen had found the job flyer on his way back, and he asked Mavis about it, to which she said to give it to Natsu."

"so how long do you think the job will take?" a girl asked a slim young woman of average height with straight, pale lavender hair set in a bowl cut-like style, with her fringe covering the left part of her forehead and the right side exposed. She has also been seen sporting longer hair, with two bangs framing her face and her forehead being covered by her fringe. She has brown eyes, surrounded by a pair of simple glasses with oval lenses., and a large, dark-colored ribbon adorning her head. A pair of simple glasses with oval lenses. She wore a light-colored coat below her waist, dark cuffs retaining the original color on their back edges, a dark cravat tie around the collar, tight-fitting dark pants tucked inside, light-colored boots with dark soles, and light-colored gloves. She also had a small, dark satchel adorned by a pair of tiny hearts hanging on her right hip, seemingly attached to her waist. Her name was Laki Olietta, a skilled informant often employed by Mavis.

"Are you sure this is serious?" Mira asked.

"I am," Laki said. "Phantom is martaling every guild under its wing," she said. "They have to be planning something big," she sighed, "but I couldn't get any information. Hell, I was lucky to get this information,"

"so, sis, should we call Natsu back?" Elfman asked

"No," Mira said. "I don't want to worry him if it's nothing," Mira said, "but I want more information," she said

"I'll see what I can get Mira," Laki said,

"so that job?" Elfman asked

"Natsu can handle it," Mira said. "Besides, it might let him blow off some steam.

Galuna: the Cursed Island

"Gray, are you sure about this?" Lucy asked as they walked through Hargeon. It felt like almost yesterday that she and Natsu met here. It was only a few days ago, but her life had changed so much since then. For better or worse, she was still deciding on "I mean, according to Mira, this is an S-class mission,"

"I know that," Gray said, "but come on, you aren't curious." he smiled

"I don't know," Lucy whispered, thinking about her conversation with the armored wizard 'don't trust him' she shook the thought as she looked back at him. "If Natsu wanted help, he would have asked

"And I told you I'm not swimming," a voice shouted. The pair looked up to see Natsu and Happy. "Cats hate water, and I hate getting wet."

"no one wants to take us to the damn island. It's the only way."

"you just don't want to get on a boat," Happy shouted

"Man, you two sound like a married couple," Gray said

"Oh hey," Natsu said. "Why are you two here?"

"figured you could use some help," Gray smiled as he grabbed the job flyer from Natsu's hand. "Always wanted to go on an S-class mission."

"if I wanted help, I would have asked," Natsu said,

"hey, wait, the reward is a gate key." Lucy smiled. "Oh, come on, Natsu, you have to let us come, please," she smiled

"Well, there goes your surprise," Happy laughed. "Either way, even if we wanted you to come, no one wants to take us there," Happy explained. "According to the sailors, the island is cursed. It's bad luck even to go near it."

"I don't think any key is worth that," Lucy whispered

"wait," a voice called, "your wizards." he was a dark-skinned man with black hair, black eyes, and a mustache; he wore a light green cape wrapped around his chin and a white T-shirt. He also wears dark pants, held up by a pink rope tied around his stomach, functioning as a belt, and dark boots. "get in," he said

"Huh, why?" Natsu asked.

"I'm from there. I know a way to the island where the curse won't affect us," he smiled. "Please help my people,"

"right," Natsu said. "Come on, Happy."

"wait for Natsu," Lucy shouted. "Come on, let us help you."

"it would be nice to have some backup," Happy reasoned. "The last few jobs have been a lot smoother when other people were around."

Sighing in defeat, Natsu turned back. "Are you two sure about this?" Natsu asked. "This could be very dangerous, deathly."

"hey man, we're wizards," Gray teased. "death is an occupational hazard."

"Besides, what are friends for if not being there for you need it," Lucy asked. "I mean, we are friends."

"I guess," Natsu smiled, "and if we aren't, I'm sure this mission will change that."

"Aye," Happy shouted.

Miles away, Natsu had already succumbed to his motion sickness and was currently hanging over the boat. Gray was now glaring at him while Lucy was shaking.

Gray turned and looked at the sailor. "Hey, if you don't mind me asking, why'd you change your mind."

"My name is Bobo," the man answered. "Years ago, I used to live on the Island; however, I had to leave." he turned and removed his cape. "Because of the curse," he showed his arm, which was deformed. "Be warned. Tragedy befalls anyone. Who steps on the island."

"is that the curse," Lucy asked, shaking.

Bobo looked up and smiled. "We're almost there." Lucy, Gray, and Happy all looked towards the island.

Lucy looked closer and saw the glowing mountaintop. "That's weird. Why is the mountaintop glowing like that."

Lucy turned to see that Bobo was missing, which shocked her. "What? Where'd he go?" Lucy asked.

"Did he fall out," Gray asked as they started to look around.

"It's like he just disappeared." The water then began to pick up as a giant wave started to pick the small boat up, "Lucy asked, confused about what was happening.

Gray turned around to see the ginormous wave about to consume them. "Um, Lucy."

What is known as gray," Lucy's eyes widened in shock as the significant wave came and was about to tip the boat over. "Damn it."

"Hold on," Gray shouted as the wave flew over them, sinking the boat and Natsu.

Lucy felt like a train hit her. She was just glad she woke up. As she stood, she felt the crunch of sand under her feet. "Did we make it?" She looked around and saw Natsu, Gray, and Happy knocked out on the ground.

"Man, lucky that wave washed us to shore."

"I wouldn't call it luck."

"where'd that guy go," Natsu asked, standing up.

"I don't know," Lucy answered, "after he told us about the curse, he just vanished."

Natsu looked around. "Well, we can't just stand here. Let's get moving and have a look around.

"Lucy took out the flyer from her back pocket and looked it over, "Hmm, man, this looks old," Lucy said, "but from what I can tell, there's only one village on the Island, and the village chief put in the request."

"Well, let's get moving," Nasu said be

"Aye"

After walking all day, the group found the village. A giant gate protected it with a keep-out sign hung on the front.

"Anybody home?" Lucy shouted. "We came to help you."

"Who goes there?" a voice called out.

The group looked up to see two people covered from head to toe looking at them. "Were wizards from Magnolia?" Lucy shouted. "We came because of the job request."

The pair looked at each other before walking back. Soon, the gate opened, showing a shorter man. He stepped out and glanced at the group. "Our pleas have been answered at last," he said. "Please come in."

Natsu and Lucy gave each other a weird look before walking into the village.

"I'm Moka, the village chief. Before we continue, there's something you need to see." he turned to the villagers and nodded before they started to remove their robes, revealing disfigured arms and legs, and a few of them even had horns sticking from their heads.

"just like that guy on the boat, "Gray whispered.

'not to mention this guy's sideburns, ' Natsu thought.

"Everyone on the Island has suffered from a type of disfigurement due to the curse."

"excuse me for asking," Gray said, walking up to Moka, "but what makes you think it's a curse and not an infectious disease?

"we've consulted with plenty of doctors, and there is, in fact, no such disease in existence."

"This all began after the moon fell under an evil spell."

"What kind of spell?" Lucy questioned

"for you see, several years ago, the moon's color changed to and covered the Island in an ere purple glow." As if on cue, the moon appeared from beneath the clouds. This caused the villagers to scream as the body started to change. Some spotted wings from their backs, and some grew beaks and horns.

"I'm sorry if our appearance frightens you," Moka told them.

"It's okay, I'm just confused, " Gray told the man.

"Why is this happening," Natsu asked.

Moka nodded. "This happens every time the purple moon's glow hits us," Moka said, bowing his head. "Unfortunately, when the sun rises, there are some who can no longer revert to their human form," he tells them, "so we have no choice but to put them out of their misery."

"but what if they were to change back to normal."

Moka nodded. "We thought of this, but we couldn't hold them. They would always break out," he said as he held out a picture. "I was even forced to kill my son," Surprisingly, the picture was of Bobo, the man who had brought them to the island.

"wait, isn't that?" Gray jabbed Lucy in the side And pulled her up to him,

"I think we should keep that to ourselves," Gray told her.

"huh, why," Lucy asked.

"Cause he may be dead, but his spirit still lives on," Gray explained, "which is why when we got here, his spirit disappeared."

"Please let us lift the evil curse on our Island," Moka asked, bowing his head.

"Okay, what do you need us to do," Natsu asked, "we'll fix this, I promise."

Moak looked up, tears flowing in his eyes. "There's only one way to fix this; the moon must be wiped from the sky."

Later that night, Natsu, Gray, Lucy, and Happy all were staying in one of the huts in the village.

"I never thought that the moon could be so creepy," Happy said, staring out the window.

"hurry up and close the window, Happy," Lucy shouted. "You heard what the chief said. You might not care, but I don't want to turn into a freak."

"I'm not too sure about this job, guys," Natsu said while sitting on a couch.

"do they think we can destroy the moon," Gray asked.

"I don't know," Natsu said, standing up. "I wonder how many punches it would take."

"I don't think a wizard on the planet is strong enough to pull that off, Natsu," Lucy said

"well then, what else can we do," he asked her.

"We should look around," Lucy said, rubbing her chin. "There may be some other way to lift the curse."

"All right then, let's get some sleep and set out first thing in the morning," Natsu shouted as he jumped into his sleeping bag.

"Aye"

"I'm right there with ya," Gray said as he landed on his sleeping bag.

Lucy let out a sigh before lying on her sleeping bag as well.

A few hours later, Lucy woke up to both Natsu and Gray's loud snoring.' How in the hell am I supposed to sleep with the beast and the pervert both sawing logs like this?

The next day, Lucy and the others were walking through the forest. "Do you think you can lift the curse?"

"We have to find another way. I mean, even though the villagers think it's cursed, everyone else likes the moon, and besides, who knows what would happen if it were destroyed?

"I hate to admit this, but you're right; without the moon, the tides would get messed up," Natsu said, agreeing with Gray.

"and salmon would go extinct, and that's my favorite fish," Happy added.

"Would you guys keep it down? We don't know what's lurking out here, so we don't want to draw any attention the lady demanded impatiently," the two looked back to see Lucy inside Horologium.

"You should walk alone for once," Natsu tells her.

"You summon your spirits just because you're Lazy," Gray tells her. "Come on."

"Look, this whole curse thing is starting to freak me out she says nervously."

"come on, this quest rules," Natsu shouted.

"I'm pretty sure I can freeze that curse," Gray said.

"You guys are idiots she retorts disparagingly." Horologium.

"Aye"

Rumbling is then heard through the jungle. Horologium looks back to see a prominent figure looking down at him, and Lucy Gray and Natsu also turn to see it and loudly scream.

"Don't just and there do something she yells frantically."

[##Gray's theme##]

"I got this" {ice make: wall} a large sheet of ice covers Gray and the others as the monster shouts what appears to be a type of breath attack, which causes Natsu and Gray to gag.

"What's going on?" Lucy shouts from inside Horologium. She looks down to see Happy inside. "And did you sneak in here?"

Aye, says the little blue." Horologium stops and lets out a cough, which causes him to disappear, exposing Lucy and Happy to the stinky air.

Once it was clear, Natsu passed out on the floor. "Come on, man, get up," Gray shouts.

"that breath knocked him out cold," Happy tells the Ice wizard.

"stand back." Gray slams his fist to his palm and begins another Ice spell:"{ice make: floor}." A whole sheet of ice covers the floor, which causes the giant rat monster to sleep and fall.

Natsu stands up, recovering from the stinky air. "Next time, just do that from the start."

"Oh, shut up," Gray tells him.

Lucy looked around and saw a temple with a moon symbol on it. "Come while we have a chance; let's hide in there, " she shouts as she turns back only to see that Natsu and Gray have started attacking the monster. "Or that."

The group made their way to what many call the temple of the moon.

Inside, Natsu, Lucy, Gray, and Happy looked around, trying to figure out what was happening.

Natsu looked and saw the moon symbols all along the walls. "What are those."

"Moon symbols," Gray answered. "This place looks over a million years old."

"Yeah," Natsu said as he started to walk around. "Even the floors look uneven," Natsu said as he placed his foot on what appeared to be a loose tile. This action caused the floor to break, sending them into what seemed like a cavern.

Lucy stood rubbing her forehead. "Next time, Natsu, if a footing looks loose. Don't step on it!" she shouted.

"Sorry," Natsu said as he started to walk away, "but there is a weird smell coming from back here."

"From where," Lucy asked, calming down as Happy and Gray followed him. The Natsu came out of the cave to see a giant ice sheet. My presence caused the air around it to freeze and become visible once Gray, Lucy, and Happy caught. He all stared in shock at what they saw.

[##Akuma Deliroa Ost ##]

"Deliroa," Gray muttered, "but what in the world is it doing here."

"You know what that thing is," Lucy asked.

"Yeah, it's Deliroa, the demon of destruction," Gray answered.

"Demon of construction," Nasu asked, confused.

"Destruction," Happy corrected.

"H...how?" Gray stuttered, "Why is it here? What the hell is it doing on Galuna Island!" Gray shouted.

"Gray, calm down," Lucy said, placing a hand on Gray's shoulder.

"You've seen this thing before," Natsu asked.

Footsteps were then heard. Lucy looked back to see two shadows. Two men appeared. One had prominent eyebrows, and the other looked like a dog. "The voices seemed to come from down here."

"I hate being up during the day," the man groaned. He looked back to his friend, and an evil smirk grew. "So, Toby has been exposed to moon drip. You have those pointy ears."

"Grr, I told you it's a fashion statement. Stop being such a jerk, Yuka," the other man, Tobey, shouted.

"I was just joking. Calm down," Yuka shot back as they approached giant ice.

"Moon drip," Lucy whispered. "Could that be the name of the curse?"

Lucy hid again when more footsteps were heard.

"Yuka, Tobey," a voice called out, "Something terrible has happened."

"What is it now, Sherry," Yuka asked.

"it's Angelica; she was attacked," the young explained, "and now I'm sad."

"You're telling me you're moping around cause your stupid pet rat got attacked," Tobey shouted.

"Angelica isn't a rat," Sherry retorted. "She is a brave hunter prowling the jungle to protect us; she is love," Sherry said while hearts appeared in her eyes.

"I don't know who these guys are, but they're a bunch of weirdos," Lucy said.

"I don't know, but based on the scent there, not from the Island," Natsu told her.

"And it doesn't look like they have the demon curse," Happy added.

"intruders," Yuka asked.

"Yes, and it's almost time to start collecting moonlight again," Sherry told him. "This news makes me so sad; this news would displease the cold emperor, " Sherry said. "We need to find them before the emotions first light."

Agreed," Yuka said.

Tobey growled in agreement.

"Since they've seen Deliroa, we can't allow them to live," Sherry said. "We give the gift of eternal slumber "will give them. She looked up as hearts filled her eyes once again. "Love."

"You're talking about death, right," Tobey asked, confused.

Something snapped, catching their attention. "What was that," Tobey asked.

"It came from over there." The three then ran to see what it was.

Lucy Natsu and Gray stood up as Happy flew next to them as they left. "Nice job, cat."

"Aye"

"Aww," Natsu groaned. "We should have grabbed them and beat some answers out of them."

"Not yet," Lucy told him 'we need to investigate some more first."

"Man, this job just gets increasingly complicated," Natsu moaned.

"Aye," Happy agreed. "Like, who is this cold Emperor guy."

Gray looked back at Deliroa. " I still don't see what anyone would want from this thing."

"Do you know this Demon Gray?" Lucy asked.

"Yeah, it was sealed in a glacier on the northern continent," Gray said, refusing to look at the demon. "A decade ago, this immortal demon ravaged Isvan, and countless people lost their lives," Gray explained.

"The woman who taught me my magic," Gray said finally, looking up at the demon. "My Master Ur sacrificed everything to seal it away."

Gray closed his fist, and ice began to form around. "I don't know if it has to do with the curses on the Island, but I know it doesn't belong here," Gray said, "we need to find this cold Emperor," Gray said, calming down.

"cause if they try to tarnish my master's legacy, they will regret the day they were born."
