A few hours later in a train .
,,65.000.000 jewels , my love the basement is FULL of gold and money we literally don't have what to do with it.'' said Erza standing in front of Natsu's seat
,,There is no such thing as having too much Money , who is going to Tax me ? '' said Natsu
,, You know i expected them to say something about you evading Taxes .'' she said with amusement on her face.
,,Love i'm not evading taxes i am ignoring them.''
,,Hehe .. same thing ..oh well it does not matter.'' she says as she crossed the cabin and got in his lap.
,,I told you … i find you showing people that your in charge quite hot.'' she says trailing a finger on his face.
,,Oh do you ?'' Natsu responded by putting his hands on her thighs .
,,Yes. i like when your authoritative …'' she says kissing him.
,,Ha don't I know that.'' he says as he unbuttoned her shirt and kisses her neck.
,,Didn't get enough attention this morning ? We focused on you.'' he asks her as she unzipping his pants.
,,There is no such thing as having too much .. attention, who is going to punish me?'' she says as she licks her lips.
,,I suppose your right .'' he responds already having used magic to block the cabin from entrance and view.
,,Come on love … show me your authoritative side , i promise i'll behave Sir.'' she says her hands trailing on his chest shirt already gone back into the requip dimension .
,,Oh i will .'' he pushes her to the wall her legs around his waist ,, I will .'' he kisses her.
At Fairy tail
,,So what do you think is going to happen?'' asked Lisanna to Mira
Mira hums thinks of what to say ,,Well Natsu won't listen to them under any circumstances , most of them are cowards any way so they will back down when Natsu eventually uses his power to put them in their place… and if somehow they try to do something to Erza …. well there won't be a council anymore to be honest.''
,,Yes he would do that .'' Lisanna said
The door to the guild suddenly open Natsu and Erza coming thru them.
,,Good day everyone , how you day going?'' asks Natsu amused .
,,Is the council still standing ?'' asked Cana
,,Yes but i extorted 65 millions jewels from them.'' responded Natsu
Natsu's announcement drew a mixture of surprise and amusement from the members of Fairy Tail. Some chuckled at his boldness, while others exchanged impressed glances at the sheer audacity of his actions.
Mira, ever the voice of reason, couldn't help but shake her head in amusement. "You never fail to keep things interesting, Natsu," she remarked with a wry smile. "But let's hope the council learns their lesson this time."
Erza, standing beside Natsu, offered a reassuring smile to her guildmates. "We appreciate your support," she said warmly. "But let's not dwell on the council for now. We have plenty to celebrate today!"
A few weeks later
,,Master , do you know who took the Galuna job ?'' asked Mira
,,No? I was not informed about any s-class going on missions.'' responded Makarov
Mira furrowed her brow, a sense of unease settling in the pit of her stomach. "That's strange," she murmured, her voice laced with concern. "I hope it's nothing serious."
,,I saw who took the job ! '' said a bostirus voice
,,Laxus ? When did you get back ?'' asked Mira
,,That none of your business.'' He responded
,,So who took the job ?'' asked Makarov
,,I saw Gray do it last night .'' he said nonchalantly
Makarov turned to Laxus, his expression serious as he issued a direct command. "Laxus, I need you to track down Gray and bring him back safely," he instructed firmly, his tone brooking no argument.
Laxus, true to his nature, crossed his arms over his chest defiantly, his gaze unwavering as he met Makarov's stern gaze. "Why should I waste my time on someone who can't even handle a simple job?" he retorted, his voice dripping with disdain.
Mira stepped forward, her concern for Gray evident in her expression. "Because he's a member of this guild, Laxus," she interjected, her voice tinged with urgency. "And we look out for each other, no matter what."
,,I don't care , send Natsu or one of his bitches after Gray if he's sooo important ''
Makarov's eyes narrowed at Laxus's disrespectful remark, his patience wearing thin in the face of his grandson's insolence. "Watch your tongue, Laxus," he warned, his voice stern and authoritative. "Gray may not be your top priority, but he is still a member of this guild, and it is your duty to ensure his safety."
Mira's expression hardened at Laxus's callous words, her disappointment evident as she regarded him with a mixture of frustration and concern. "You may not care, Laxus, but we do," she stated firmly, her voice unwavering in its conviction. ,,And you should watch your mouth with those remarks if Natsu hears that you won't like what he'll do to you ."
,,HA what can he do to ME ? I'm the strongest !'' he says arrogantly.
,,You never once beat him, and every time you fought he used just lighting magic the best you ever did was a draw and he wasn't taking you seriously everyone know that Laxus'' she says smirking at him.
Mira's retort struck a nerve with Laxus, his arrogant demeanor faltering momentarily as her words cut through his pride. He clenched his fists, his jaw tightening in frustration at her reminder of his past encounters with Natsu. "That's in the past," he insisted through gritted teeth, attempting to brush off her remarks with false bravado. "I'm stronger now, and I don't need anyone's help to handle a simple task."
,,I have no intention of helping Gray , if he cant handle a quest than he does not deserve to be on the battlefield, or did you forget the 'Great Natsu' that you so try to get to fuck you words? Hmmm?'' he said grinning ear to ear.
Mira's expression darkened at Laxus's crude remark, her disappointment deepening into a mixture of anger and frustration. "Your obese over a power you don't even understand Laxus," she retorted sharply, her voice laced with a hint of disdain.
Laxus scoffed at Mira's words, his arrogance undiminished by her admonition. "Save your lectures for someone who cares, Mirajane," he replied dismissively, his tone dripping with contempt. "I'll handle things my own way, whether you approve or not."
With a heavy sigh, Mira watched as Laxus stormed out of the guild hall, his arrogance and stubbornness leaving a bitter taste in her mouth. She knew that convincing him to see reason would be an uphill battle, but she refused to give up on him, even in the face of his defiance. For now, her focus remained on ensuring Gray's safety and supporting her guildmates, no matter the challenges they faced.
s Laxus stormed out, leaving behind a tense atmosphere in the guild hall, Mira turned to Makarov with a troubled expression. "What are we going to do, Master?" she asked, her voice tinged with concern. "Gray could be in real danger, and Laxus refuses to help."
Makarov sighed heavily, his brow furrowed with worry. "We cannot force Laxus to act if he's unwilling," he conceded, his tone grave. "But we cannot let Gray face whatever threat awaits him alone. We'll have to come up with a plan."
Natsu, who had been silently listening to the exchange, spoke up. "I'll go find Gray myself," he declared, his voice resolute. "I think I have an idea why he went ."
Seilah and Erza nodded in agreement, not wanting to let Natsu go alone again after his last escapade. "Seilah and I will go with you, Natsu," she affirmed, her voice steady. "We'll find Gray and bring him back safely, no matter what."
Mira smiled gratefully at their unwavering resolve, her confidence bolstered by their determination. "Thank you, all of you," she said sincerely, her voice filled with gratitude. "Please, bring Gray back to us safely."
,,Will do .'' says Natsu as he teleports them out of the guild to Lucy's place.
,,Why did you bring us here darling ?'' asks Seilah.
,,I think she went with Gray.'' he responded.
,,Why ?'' asked Erza
,,Donno about Lucy …. but i think Gray's training to prove himself .''
,,Prove what ? That he know how to make bad decisions ?'' asked Seilah
,,He was very disappointed he did practically nothing back with EisenWald …. i heard him talk with Lucy they both were a bit down for not helping.''
,,That ….. might be our fault .'' says Erza
,,Yes we did not give them the opportunity , we tried to get rid of the scum immediately, we forgot about Lucy and Gray.'' says Seilah as she looks down.
,,We find them … and we let them do the job if they can '' said Natsu
,,What why ? We're supposed to bring them back ?''
,,I wanna see what they can do. How they take decisions , how they fight and strategize , i wanna see if they are worthy of my help.'' he said Natsu
Erza hums at Natsu's response and thinks about it ,, You saw something that interests you in them ?'' she asks
,,I think…. i might need an … army or more specifically allies for whatever comes next …this era of 'peace' … is ending very soon no matter what i do .'' Natsu says with a serious look on his face ,, The ..path to Avalon will appear soon … i can feel it.''
,,Avalon ? Were you contacted by Mavis ? '' asked Seilah
,,Not Mavis, i can't get in touch with her….some else ,someone from Avalon, i was told Avalon will start to get involved more in the mattes of the physical realms, our places in Avalon have already been decided …we won't be the only ones reaching Avalon. So we might as well chose our allies.'' said Natsu
,,I see…. why Lucy and Gray then ? '' asked Seilah
,,Most of Fairy tail are still too attached to Fairy Tail as a guild ..as a concept , i don't think there are many who would be interested in going past humanity , Lucy and Gray are open minded they will think about it , i won't tell them directly but at least i will back sure when the choice is presented to them they will know what it means in the greater scheme of things.'' he finished
,,Hmm… i guess you are right.'' said Erza
,,We'll let's go'' said Seilah
At Galuna Island
With Gray and Lucy
,,Gray.''
,,...''
,,Gray.'''
,,...''
,,GRAY ! DONT IGNORE ME !'' Lucy screamed into his ear.
,,AWW WHAT WAS THAT FOR ? '' he finally responded.
,, I called you out and YOU IGNORED ME !''
,,I was thinking on how to do this .''
,,How to do this ? Gray, they want us to destroy the MOON ! We can't do that ! Its no possible !'' she says
,,...Natsu would do it .'' he says under his breath.
,, Natsu would – …..is that what this is all about ? Trying to prove yourself to him ?''
,,That not–...''
,,Gray'' Lucy says softly ,, Natsu is strong, yes , astronomically strong , but continuously comparing yourself to him and doing stupid things won't help you.''she finishes .
,,...stupid things ?You came here as well, we're both doing stupid things.'' he responded not looking at her
,,THAT'S NOT THE POINT I'M BROKE I NEED MONEY FOR RENT AND I WON'T DO INAPPROPRIATE THINGS ! … and plus even if Natsu could destroy the moon he wouldn't do it , the moon affects how our planet functions destroying it would mean destroying the planet. That's why it's not possible .'' she huffs at Gray
,,Then what are we supposed to do ? Turn back to the guild ? At this point we won't get out without being reprimanded .'' he says
,,I - i don't know ..'' she says
,,...''
,,Well I know what you two can do !.'' says a voice from their back .
An ice spike going off towards his neck before Gray even realise who it was.
,,Ha nice Gray , didn't even need to see where I'm standing, Bravo.'' says Natsu as Seilah and Erza appear in front of them .
,,Natsu? What are you doing here?'' asked Gray as he made the spike disappear.
,,You know why we're here Gray.'' said Erza
,,ERZA, SEILAH ? WE'RE SORRY PLEASE DON'T KILL US !'' said Lucy
,,Relax Lucy , we won't do anything .''
,,NO'' said Gray ,, I started this job , i will finish it !''
,,Good'' said Natsu
,,No Natsu you don't get it im not backing out — you said good?'' asked Gray
,,Yes, you will finish the job.'' says Natsu as he took a seat
,,Master did not send you to get us ?''
,,He did, but I decided to do something else. You both will show me what you can do, you will show me if you got what you need .''
,,For what ?'' asked Gray
,,Succeed and you will gain things beyond what you have right now , beyond what you WANT to have right now.'' he said
,,Erza and Seilah will remain with you ….. I'll be watching , i have high hopes for you .''said Natsu as Black feathers flew inside the room enveloping him and leaving thro the other window leaving no trace of Natsu .
,,Ohhh … so that how it looks from the outside.'' said Seilah
,,Quite the spectacle.'' Erza said
At the Galuna temple a few hours later
The group are currently walking inside a cave system after falling through the floor of the temple.
,,So what do you think those people are doing ?Think they have something to do with the moon being purple ?'' asked Lucy
,,Most likely… '' said Erza
As the group continued walking Seilah sensed something up ahead but said nothing.
The group walked into a massive cave room with a gigantic Iceberg in the iceberg looked to have something giant trapped inside it , it looked like
,,Deliora.'' said Gray frightened.
,,Deliora?'' asked Erza , knowing about Deliora from Seilah and Natsu, surprised Gray knew about it .
,,How do you know ?'' asked Seilah
,,It's supposed to be in Isvan , what the hell is it doing here ?'' he asked angrily.
,,Gray, how do you know about it ?'' asked Erza
Gray started talking telling them of his past and how why he knew of Deliora.
As a child, Gray lived in the village of Isvan where he was raised by his teacher and mentor, Ur. Ur was a powerful Ice Mage who took Gray in after his parents were killed by the demon Deliora. Gray looked up to Ur and trained under her to become a skilled Ice Mage himself.
The connection between Gray and Deliora stems from a tragic incident in Gray's past. When he was a child, his village was attacked by Deliora, a powerful demon known for its destructive capabilities. Deliora's rampage resulted in the deaths of many villagers, including Gray's parents.
Ur finding Gray took him in and taught him magic , some time later Deliora emerged again Gray blinded by his hatred of the demon tried to fight it, failing miserably.
Ur steps in but even as strong as she was she could not defeat the demon only Seal it away using a spell called Ice Shell becoming the very ice that sealed the demon.
,,So ..that is .'' Gray said, looking down.
,,Gray im so sorry you had to go through that.'' said Lucy sadly as she offered Gray a hug.
,,That's … a sad tale.'' said Seilah .
,,Hm'' Erza agreed with her.
,,So WHY is it here ?'' asked Seilah.
,,We should stay here and watch … i think i might know what these people are trying to do.''said Erza
A few hours later
A beam of purple light fell thru the ceiling and hit the iceberg , the group realized the light slowly melted the ice.
After that a group of 3 people entered the cave.
A … dog-man ?
A guy with extremely rushy, squared black eyebrows.
And a girl with blue eyes, pink hair, large breasts, and a curvaceous body.
,,Oooon'' said the dog-man out of nowhere.
,,Who just says that?''
,,Who just says that?''
,,Who just says that?''
,,Who just says that?''
Thought the fairy tail mages.
,,We have intruders.'' said the eyebrows guy.
,,They will be defeated…... .with love.'' said the nice looking girl.
,,Do you have to always be dramatic Sherry?'' asked eyebrows.
,,You need to understand what love is Yuka …..like Tobi did.'' said the now named Sherry
,,He thinks its food…'' said Yuka.
,,FOOD?'' the dog man Tobi asked.
,,No.''
,,No.''
They responded.
A fourth man entered the cave He sported a large white cape, with a wide collar, golden edges and fur trimmings over the shoulders, held closed by belt, adorned by a stylized snake with rectangular coils, and its corresponding buckle, with more belts and buckles, placed a few centimeters away from one another and below the first, being left untied. Below this cape, he wore a blue, high-collared tunic with golden edges, reaching down below his knees, with the part coming down from below the simple belt tied around his waist having an opening in the front.
,,It does not matter .. they will be defeated .'' he said
,,That voice.'' Gray realized this was his fellow pupil of Ur , Lyon.
Time skip after some uninteresting events
Gray's voice cut through the silence, tinged with a mixture of anger and sorrow. "Lyon, what are you doing? You know the consequences of resurrecting Deliora!"
Lyon's expression remained stoic, his gaze unwavering. "I don't care about consequences, Gray. All that matters is proving my worth and surpassing Ur."
With a flick of his wrist, Gray unleashed a barrage of ice shards, each one propelled by his fierce determination. "Then you leave me no choice. I won't let you endanger innocent lives for your own selfish desires!"
Ice Make-
Ice Make-
Eagle! casted Lyon
Lance! casted Gray
Both ice attacks smash into one another.
Undeterred by Lyon's formidable ice eagle, Gray's determination burned brighter than ever. With a steely resolve, he unleashed another volley of Ice Make spells, each one crafted with precision and honed to perfection.
"Ice Make—Spikes!" Gray's voice thundered, his magic materializing into a barrage of razor-sharp ice spikes that surged towards Lyon with relentless force, seeking to pierce through his defenses.
But Lyon was not one to back down easily. With a defiant roar, he countered Gray's assault with a powerful Ice Make spell of his own.
"Ice Make—Blizzard!" Lyon's voice boomed, his magic enveloping the battlefield in a swirling vortex of icy winds and snow. The blizzard raged with ferocious intensity, threatening to engulf Gray in its icy embrace.
Caught off guard by Lyon's unexpected counterattack, Gray gritted his teeth and summoned all of his strength to weather the storm. With a swift motion, he cast another Ice Make spell, this time focusing his magic into a protective barrier of ice.
"Ice Make—Shield!" Gray's voice rang out, his magic forming into a sturdy shield of ice that stood firm against Lyon's blizzard, deflecting the onslaught with unwavering resilience.
As the shield was dispersing Gray prepared a different spell.
,,Ice Make–Bazooka!''Gray's voice echoed with power as he focused his magic into a potent offensive spell. A massive block of ice materialized before him, propelled at high speeds towards Lyon with unstoppable force.
Lyon, recognizing the imminent danger, moved to block the incoming attack, summoning his own defenses in a desperate bid to withstand Gray's assault.
But Gray's determination was unyielding, his resolve unshakeable. With a resounding impact, the block of ice smashed into Lyon's defenses, shattering them with explosive force.
As the dust settled and the echoes of their clash faded into the night, Gray stood victorious, his determination undiminished. Though the battle had been fierce, he emerged stronger than ever, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead on the path to his ultimate goal.
A roar echoed throw out the cave ,,Now … to get rid of this problem.''
Gray started to head towards Deliora.
As he arrived he saw Seilah preparing to fight the demon.
,,NO!'' he intrerupted her ,, Let me .'' he said.
Seilah looked at him and decided to let him see what he would do.
,,I won't let you escape … i won't let you repeat what you did .'' he said as he started to flare his magic.
,,WE'RE BOTH LOSING YOU SACK OF SHIT !'' he crossed his arms.
''ICED SH-''he didn't finish as Natsu appeared and caught his arm looking in his eyes.
,,What are you doing Natsu ? I have to seal Deliora back !'' he said
Natsu looking at him smirked ,, You pass…. and you won't have to seal Deliora again Ur took care of him.''
,,What ? What do you mean ?'' asked Gray
As he finished his question chunks of Deliora began to fall. Gray realised that the demon was dead .
,,NO NO i must ... must fight it .. i must surpass Ur.'' said Lyon, nearly crawling on the floor.
,,The demon is dead, has been for some time …. this is just a corpse .'' said Natsu as he prepared fire in his hands to burn the remains of the demon.
,,Guys ?'' asked Lucy
,,Yes?''
,,The moon is still purple.''
,,What are you going to do about it ?'' asked Erza
,,What do you mean ?''
,,This is still your job …. and it's unfinished … finish it .'' she said .
,,C'mon guys … tell us something at least .''
,,Fine … was the moon purple in Magnolia ? or the port of that matter ?'' said Seilah
,,What no—... Moon drip !'' said Lucy
,,Atta girl you got it .'' said Erza
,,The moonlight affect the way people see the moon? Must have made some sort shield .'' Gray said.
,,Yes, good job now go on an find a way to break the shield we'll wait.'' said Natsu
A half an hour later
,,So you summon Virgo to use her earth magic to make a pillar to get me as high as she can and i blast the shield , ok ?'' said Gray
,,Yes let's do this.'' said Lucy
,,They did this faster that i expected them, nice.'' said Natsu
,,Indeed .'' said Seilah
,,C'mon! Lets go to the village''
After Arriving at the village they were given the rewards which was a golden key for Lucy and 2 million jewels which Erza confiscated saying that they were after all on a job they had no clearance to.
,,... do you - do you know what Gramps will do ?'' asked Gray as they were walking towards the guild hall.
,,Eh … il put in a good word''said Natsu as both of them light up
,,BUUUT'' he continued ,, I expect both of you from now on on traings with us understood?'' he finished
,,WHAT ?'' asked Gray ,,You'll train us ?''
,,You two got something that to most of the other members is currently 'buried' to much or outright wasted, we will train you in both your current magic and others, one of us will pick you up when we train.''
Both of them smiled at having been acknowledged by their friends.
,,Now who wants some cake ?'' said Natsu
,,I DO !" immediately said Erza and Seilah
Natsu laughed at his wife's reaction.
