A day has passed since Rob, Ryu, Mizu, Erza and Tyson got onto the train and began their trip to Magnolia Town, home of the strongest guild in all of Fiore, Fairy Tail
Since then, Tyson informed Rob and Erza a little more about himself, how he was abandoned as a child, how Igneel found him and began his training in Fire Dragon Slayer magic, and what fueled his desire to become stronger so he could protect the people he cares about and finally, how Igneel entered his soul to produce antibodies so he won't turn into a monster like Acnologia.
Rob and Erza were shocked to find that if a dragon slayer overused their magic, they can turn into a dragon, such a thing was almost unheard of.
Likewise, Tyson learned what life in Rosemary Village was like before the Zeref cultists came in, he also learned Rob used to be a very powerful wizard back in the day and he used to be a member of Fairy Tail, but he retired.
Tyson also found out that Erza had no memory of her birth parents either and Rob was the closest thing to a father that she had.
The two then realized they had a lot in common: they both were left by their birth parents and were alone until a kind old soul found them and took them in, they then suffered trials that made them stronger for it and a lot more.
Tyson and Erza had also started to feel something over the course of the time they spent together, they felt an instinctual pull to each other, like two opposing magnets pulling towards each other. Neither one of them could explain the reason why they felt the way they did to each other, although Tyson had a idea, he just didn't want to say anything until he had something concrete to base his assumptions on.
Right now the five of them were just now leaving the train station and headed towards Fairy Tail.
Tyson was very excited, Rob had told him a lot of stories about Fairy Tail and now he was about to meet the people behind the legends. He wanted to see how strong they were, those Zeref cultists were a letdown, he wanted to face someone that could push him to the limit so he could get stronger.
Erza was actually very nervous about meeting Fairy Tail, she was strong in the use of her telekinesis, but she hadn't figured out how to really unlock her potential, so she was very weak, if she and Tyson fought, he could just flick her and she would probably lose. She felt inadequate to be around such a strong mage, she was just slowing him down after all, she was of no use to Tyson in his current state.
"Hey Erza." Ryu got her attention.
Tyson looked over to Erza and saw the uncertainty, the insecurity and the fear written on her face, so he decided to cheer her up.
"You're not weak." He said to Erza.
Erza whipped her head towards Tyson, how did he know what she was feeling?
"I know that look quite well. It's the same one I had when I started practicing Fire Dragon Slayer magic." He answered her unasked question and then said, "I'm going to repeat something Igneel once said: You're not weak at all Erza Scarlet. Upon unlocking your magic, you levitated a hundred different weapons to take to the air and smash into a Zeref cultist who was about to kill me. If anyone else had done that when they first unlocked their magic, it most likely would have killed them, but you were just really tired afterwards. That speaks volumes about how much raw magical power you have buried within you. Given time and the right teacher, you can go on to become one of the strongest wizards of our generation. I believe in you. You have the determination, the strength of character and the heart to become an amazing wizard."
"He's right." Mizu agreed. "Don't go selling yourself short. Not collapsing after a feat like that is impressive."
Erza blushed from the praise courtesy of the Dragon Slayers, then said in a small voice. "Do you really think that I am strong?"
Tyson laid his hand down onto her left shoulder and said, "Erza, I KNOW that you are strong. I KNOW that you will become a great wizard."
"But how, how can you have that much faith in someone you just met?" Erza asked with a few tears forming in her eyes.
He placed his right hand onto Erza's cheek and gently wiped away the tears, saying, "I have faith, because I have seen the kind of person you are. You are kind, determined, caring, intelligent, honest, loyal to your friends to a fault, and finally, you have the most amount of will I have ever seen to protect your friends."
Erza had a few tears running down her face from his kind words and then gave him a large hug.
Tyson was stunned for a few seconds before he wrapped his arms around her with a smile.
They held that position for a few seconds before he then asked, "Better?"
Erza nodded, then Tyson held his arm out for her to grab and said, "Shall we, my lady?"
Erza smiled as she giggled at his actions and said, "But of course, my lord."
Tyson and Erza then walked forwards, their arms interlocked with each other, completely lost in their own little worlds, completely oblivious that they had just walked away from the others.
Rob had seen the whole thing and was now walking towards Fairy Tail with a smile on his face.
'Tyson, you better take good care of Erza for me. That poor girl has lost so many important people in her life that she needs someone strong to lean on, someone she doesn't need to look strong to, someone who will take care of her, no matter what the cost. You appear to have taken to that role as a fish does to water. You better never leave her, because if you do, I will place you in a world of hurt the likes of which you can never imagine.' Rob thought.
With Erza and Tyson...
Tyson and Erza had walked for about half an hour before they realized the others weren't with them, so they stopped at a local food shop to ask for directions and with them, they were now headed towards Fairy Tail.
After another five minutes of walking, they came upon a massive castle-like building, one where the same symbol that was on Rob's back was proudly displayed above the front door.
Tyson, Mizu and Erza stood there for a few minutes. Erza was summoning the courage to enter and Tyson was waiting with her. Ryu and Mizu eventually found out where the guild hall was.
Then, a small elderly man who was smaller than Tyson and Erza came and said, "Hello there children. What are you doing standing outside this guild?"
Erza then said, "We want to join, but I am scared that I won't be good enough to join."
Tyson then added, "I am waiting for her to be comfortable enough to enter."
The old man smiled and said, "I know Fairy Tail's master will allow you in. I know him quite well."
Tyson then said, "Really?"
The old man smiled and said, "Of course I do. He's me."
"What?" Ryu repeated in shock.
The four were blown away, this small old man was Fairy Tail's master?
Tyson however sensed the amount of magic this old man had running through his veins, it was almost the same level as his own, but he was a bit stronger.
He also saw a silver medallion, which he recognized, it was the Wizard Saint medallion, meaning this old man was a Wizard Saint, which explained his absurd levels of power.
Tyson smiled and said, "Nice to meet ya. My name is Tyson Dragneel and this here is Erza Scarlet, Mizu Hydroplex and Ryu Yamamoto and we would like to join your guild, if you would allow us to."
The old man smiled and said, "My name is Makarov Dreyar and I would love to have you join my guild, but I have a question. Who brought you here?"
Tyson had a smile on his face with the next words he said, "An old friend of yours, Rob."
Makarov's eyes widened and said, "Rob? He's alive?!"
He nodded and said, "We will tell you all about our little adventure to get here, but I have a question. Why is the guild called Fairy Tail?"
Makarov smiled, then turned towards the Fairy Tail emblem and said, "Do Fairies have tails? Do they even exist? That is a question that may never be answered, so it is a never ending mystery, a never ending adventure. That is the meaning behind Fairy Tail."
Tyson and Erza looked up towards the emblem and smiled, they both knew they were going to like it here.
He then turned towards Erza, holding out his hand and said, "You ready?"
Erza looked towards his hand and then looked into his eyes seeing confidence, sincerity, but most importantly, she saw that he would never leave her, so gathering her courage, she slowly took his hand.
Tyson smiled and then led Erza inside in the guild hall, Ryu and Mizu followed the two with Makarov coming in behind them.
Once inside, there was only one word to describe what was happening.
Chaos.
Pure, unadulterated chaos.
Almost every single member inside the guild was fighting each other.
Chairs, tables, even people were flying through the air.
Erza looked shocked at the chaotic scene. So were Ryu and Mizu, the three had no idea what they were getting themselves into.
Mizu then heard something and called out, "Heads up!"
Just then, a beer bottle came flying out of nowhere and struck Erza in the face, causing a trickle of blood to come down her face.
Makarov was furious, these idiotic children had just hurt one of the new members!
He was about to stop this fight when he heard a low voice.
"Who threw that bottle." Tyson demanded.
No one took ownership, so he added, "Well then, I guess I'll have to beat the answer out of someone."
Tyson then joined the fight and started beating everyone else senseless.
Five minutes later, he walked towards the bar counter, with a mountain of broken bodies was behind him, every single member having been viciously beaten by the brown-haired Dragon Slayer.
Makarov, Erza, Ryu, Mizu and Rob were all watching from the counter as he beat almost the entire guild into unconsciousness.
Erza had a cold pack placed on her face from where the bottle had hit her.
Tyson walked up and asked, "You alright Erza?"
Erza nodded and said, "You didn't need to beat the entire guild."
He smiled and replied, "You were injured, so yeah it was necessary. Besides that fight was starting to get out of hand."
Makarov then said, "So if Erza hadn't been hurt, you would have joined the fun?"
Tyson replied, "Sure, it's all fun and games until someone is injured."
Makarov nodded and then said, "Listen up, you brats. These four are our newest members, you better treat them right or else!"
The semi-conscious members all grunted out their agreement.
Makarov then turned to Tyson, Erza, Ryu and Mizu and he held in his left hand a magic stamper as he said, "Okay, where do you four want your guild marks and what colors?"
Tyson thought for a second and then said, "Right on my right shoulder and red please?"
He then rolled up his sleeve and showed Makarov his shoulder.
Makarov then placed the stamper onto the skin and it glowed for a few seconds before a red Fairy Tail guild mark was now present just below his right shoulder.
Erza then said, "I would like mine blue and in the middle of my upper left arm."
Makarov nodded and then did as he was asked and within seconds, Erza's blue guild mark was in the middle of her upper left arm.
Ryu then stepped forward after removing his shirt. "Dark red and right here."
Makarov pressed the stamper against the designated area and a dark red guild mark was on the right side of his chest.
Mizu finished. "Dark blue and in the middle of my back."
Makarov placed the stamper in the center of Mizu's back and a dark blue guild mark was over his spine.
Tyson grinned and turned towards Erza, saying, "Look, we are apart of Fairy Tail."
Erza smiled, gave him a hug and said, "I know!"
Makarov smiled and then yelled out, "WE HAVE FOUR NEW MEMBERS TO OUR FAMILY! THIS IS CAUSE FOR CELEBRATION!"
Suddenly everyone who had been beaten up became good again and they all yelled out, "YAHOOOOO!"
Tyson and Erza then saw a group of kids around their age and walked over.
A small petite girl with short white hair came over and said, "Hi there! My name is Lisanna Strauss. You two some of the newest members?"
Tyson and Erza nodded and then Lisanna said, "Here. Let me introduce you to everyone."
Lisanna then points to a brown-haired girl and says, "She is Cana, she uses Card magic."
Then Lisanna points to a girl that looked a lot like her, but she has longer hair and Lisanna says, "That's my older sister, Mirajane, or Mira as she likes to be called, she uses Take Over Magic, specifically Satan Soul."
She then points to a boy that is taller than her and has the same platinum hair as Mira and Lisanna and she says, "That's my older brother Elfman. He uses Take Over magic as well, but his is Beast Soul."
She then points to a raven haired boy and says, "That's Gray Fullbuster and he is a Ice-Make mage with the unfortunate habit of stripping out of his clothes."
Tyson was about to ask what she meant when suddenly, Gray was in his boxers! Not even his enhanced sight could track that.
He then said, "Hey Gray!"
Gray turned towards Tyson and asked, "What do you want?"
He replied, "Put your clothes back on. There's something I want to try."
Gray looked confused, but did as he was asked, getting his clothes back on and then waiting for Tyson to do whatever he was going to do.
His right hand began to glow bright orange and then Tyson began to draw a complex Dragon Glyph onto Gray's chest.
He drew for about a minute and a half then smiled and said, "There! Done."
Gray looked at the Dragon Glyph in confusion and then in shock as the Glyph disappeared into his chest.
"What did you do to me?!" Gray asked surprised, as was everyone else.
Tyson smiled and said, "I placed a Dragon Glyph on you. Now you can't strip unless you say, "Dragon Glyph off."
Gray was shocked, his awful habit of stripping was over, he couldn't believe it.
Gray stood there for a few seconds before he hugged Tyson with anime tears coming down his face.
"THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!" Gray said over and over again.
Tyson then said, "It's fine. We are guild mates after all and we look out for each other."
Gray let go and said, "Thanks again. By the way, what magic did you use?"
Tyson smiled and said, "I used a Dragon Glyph."
A petite blue haired girl came over and said, "Dragon Glyph. I have never heard of that type of magic before."
Tyson then said, "It's because it's very hard to learn, but if you are successful, you can do a lot with them. By the way I am Tyson Dragneel, who are you?"
The girl smiled and then said, "I'm sorry, my name is Levy McGarden and I am a solid script mage. What magic do you use?"
Tyson smirked and then brought up both of his fists before charging them with his magic.
His left fist burst into orange flames, while his right fist was now coated in emerald green lightning.
Everyone turned and was shocked, this kid was using two different types of magic at once?! Who was he?
Tyson then said, "I use Fire, Lightning and Wind Dragon Slayer magic."
Makarov was shocked beyond belief, this boy could use not one, but THREE lost magics, dragon slayer magic at that.
Lisanna then innocently asked, "What's dragon slayer magic?"
Tyson then answered, "Basically dragon slayer magic is a ancient magic that turns my body into that of a dragon. Dragon lungs for eating lightning, wind or fire, dragon claws for attacking with fire, wind or lightning, dragon scales to absorb the fire, wind or lightning, etc."
Everyone was dumbfounded by this, he could eat fire, wind and lightning? Unthinkable.
Macao, a fire mage then asked, "You can eat fire?"
Tyson smirked and said, "Shoot me with your best flames."
Macao smirked and said, "You asked for it. HAHHH!"
Macao gathered purple flames around his hands and then sent a large jet of fire at Tyson.
Before it could touch him, Tyson began to inhale deeply and the flames were redirected into his mouth.
He then began to chew and eat the fire in front of everyone.
Everyone's jaws were on the floor, this was something that fried all of their brains, save for Erza, Ryu, Mizu and Rob, who had seen him eat fire before, so it wasn't as shocking to them.
Tyson finished eating the fire and then said, "Those flames were nice, a bit on the spicy side, but overall not the worst flames I have ever eaten. Thanks for that man!"
Macao recovered and then said, "You're welcome kid."
Makarov then said, "I am curious how you acquired the power to use not only Fire Dragon Slayer magic, but Lightning and Wind Dragon Slayer as well."
Tyson then said, "Well, I was taught how to use Fire Dragon Slayer magic from my dad, Igneel."
Wakaba asked, "Who names their kid, Igneel?"
Tyson replied back, "Oh, Igneel wasn't a human, he was a dragon."
Everyone's jaws, save for Rob, Ryu, Mizu and Erza again, hit the ground, this kid was taught by a dragon, a member of the mightiest species to ever live?!
Makarov then recovered and said, "Well that explains the Fire Dragon Slayer magic, but I am still curious about how you got that lightning and wind dragon slayer magic."
Tyson then rubbed the back of his head while chuckling sheepishly and said, "Well you see when I was about 6 I was practicing in the middle of a lightning storm how to redirect lightning using my Fire Dragon Slayer magic."
A small girl named Laki then asked, "Wait, you can redirect lightning?"
Tyson nodded and then said, "Well, I practiced for so long that my magic ran out and as I was eating some fire to replenish my reserves, a bolt of lightning got caught up and I accidentally ate it."
Everyone looked shocked, save for Rob, Erza and the two Dragon Slayers since they already heard this story.
He then went on with, "Because my body was already converting the fire into magic energy for me to use, the lightning was turned into raw magic as well and this allowed me to eat and use lightning in the form of Lightning Dragon Slayer magic. Igneel then took me to the Lightning Dragon King, Thundreas and he taught me everything I know about Lightning Dragon Slayer magic."
He continued, "As for the Wind Dragon Slayer magic, well I had lacrima implanted into my body before I went to the Tower of Heaven to free Erza."
Everyone looked awed at his tale, this kid was not only taught by the Fire Dragon King, but also the Lightning Dragon King, if all this awesomeness was just his childhood, what will he go on to do?
Makarov then broke out into sweats, if Tyson was as powerful with his Wind and Lightning Dragon Slayer magic as he was with his Fire Dragon Slayer magic, his bank account will disappear in only a few months.
"Tyson, how powerful is your Wind and Lightning Dragon Slayer magic?" Makarov asked nervously.
He smiled and said, "They're as powerful as my Fire Dragon Slayer magic and just using Fire Dragon Slayer magic I can obliterate a small town with no effort at all."
Makarov's hopes and dreams were all taken to an imaginary firing range and shot to hell and back and thus his soul came out of his mouth, causing all the other members to try and catch the runaway soul quickly.
Tyson fell over from laughing so hard, while the other kids were laughing equally as hard as well and thus, the group of children began to form bonds that would last a lifetime.
He looked around at all the smiling faces and smiled as well.
'I think I am going to like it here.' He thought.
Time skip...
2 and a half months passed since Tyson, Erza, Ryu and Mizu joined the guild and Rob rejoined the guild to spend the rest of his years in peace and quiet.
Tyson had done a large number of jobs and had even done an S-Class job.
When he had asked the master if he could do an S-Class job, Makarov was skeptical of letting him do it, even with his massive magic reserves, so Makarov went with Tyson to see his powers and skills first hand.
Needless to say, after seeing him obliterate over 50 Wyverns at once imprinted into Makarov's head that Tyson was capable of doing S-Class requests.
However, Makarov didn't give him that promotion just yet, that would be stupid. So what he did was allow Tyson to do AA-Class requests, these being the highest ranking requests below S-Class.
He didn't get to fight many strong opponents, but they were better than nothing, so he did them.
Erza had taken this time to try and get stronger, by simply levitating small rocks with her mind until she was too tired to continue on.
This was actually a good workout routine, because it was strengthening her mind and also very slowly increasing her magic reserves as well.
Tyson and Erza had gotten closer during this time and he finally knew what was happening, deciding to talk to Erza about it.
Currently he was walking up to the apartment which Erza was staying at, called Fairy Hills, the all-female exculsive dormitory for Fairy Tail members.
The rent was 100,000 jewels per month, but Tyson was lending her the rent each month due to the fact that he was sleeping out in the woods outside of Magnolia, due to the woods feeling more akin to home.
This made it so he didn't have to pay anyone for land or anything, he simply broke down some trees and made a small cabin, but he had plans for increasing over time.
He knocked on the door and waited until a lady came out and asked, "Yes, may I help you?"
"Can you tell Erza Scarlet Tyson Dragneel is here to see her?" Tyson questioned.
"Certainly." The lady said before she vanished.
About five minutes later, Erza came down and met with Tyson and the two of them began to walk towards the guild.
"Hey Erza?" He asked.
"Yes Tyson?" She asked back.
"Do you ever wonder how we are able to hear each other's thoughts?" He questioned.
"Hm, I did wonder that myself." Erza said.
"I think I know why. Dragon Slayers can sometimes form a telepathic bond with a random person. That person is destined to be a very important person in that Dragon Slayer's life, whether it is a friend, an enemy or as a mate, that person is going to help shape that Dragon Slayer's future. There have been only three instances of that happening in recorded history. There is no reason or purpose behind it, it just happens. The bond also increases the target's affection towards each other. I think that is what happened to us." Tyson explained to Erza.
"So, we are destined to be important to each other's lives, we just don't know how." Erza said.
"Yeah." Tyson replied.
"That explains a lot I guess. I wondered how we had a telepathic bond, I just never gave it too much thought though, I have been busy training recently." Erza said.
"I told you because I thought you might want to know and answer any questions you might have." Tyson said as they approached the guild.
"Thank you for telling me. It did answer a few of my questions. But, what is the bond's upper limits?" Erza asked.
"I have no idea. Each bond is different and unique to those two people. We are going to have to experiment with it to figure out the limits of the bond." Tyson answered.
"Okay. Thanks again for explaining it to me." Erza said.
"No problem Erza." Tyson said as he opened the doors of the guild.
Already a massive guild wide fight had broken out, with chairs, tables and other things being tossed all around.
Tyson saw Gray sitting at a table, so he and Erza walked over to where he sat.
He and Gray had become friends in the weeks since they met.
They loved to wrestle and play games together, they were like two peas in a pod.
Tyson sat down to Gray's left while Erza sat to his left and said, "Hey."
Gray turned towards Tyson and said, "Hey Tyson, Erza."
Eventually Levy, Cana and Lisanna all came over to the table and exchanged greetings with one another.
Lisanna then said, "Let's get to know each other a little better."
"That sounds like a good idea." Tyson nodded.
He then turned to Gray and asked, "So Gray, you are a Ice Make Mage?"
Gray nodded and then Tyson questioned, "So who was your teacher?"
Gray flinched and looked away, prompting him to say, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring back bad memories."
Gray then said, "It's okay. My master's name was Ur and she was frighteningly powerful with her Ice-Make magic."
Erza then asked, "So, what happened to her?"
Gray was silent for a few seconds before he said, "It all began when my parents died. They were killed by Deliora, a demon Zeref created. In the year X774, I heard the demon was attacking Brago in the northern continent. I decided to go fight him, but I was no match for him. My fellow student Lyon tried to fight it as well, alongside my master Ur, but they were no match for him either. Ur, out of options, used the ultimate Ice Make spell, Iced Shell on it, but Iced Shell causes the caster to die and so my master became the ice that is now surrounding Deliora. Lyon blamed me for Ur's death and so we split, I have no idea where Lyon is now."
Everyone at the table was silent, each one feeling sorry for Gray when Tyson then said, "I might know a way to bring Ur back."
Gray whipped around and asked, "What did you say?"
Tyson repeated, "I said I might know a way to bring Ur back. I need to verify something first."
He then closed his eyes and stretched out his right hand.
A minute later, a red glow stretched into his hand and morphed into a massive two foot long, 10 inch thick book that had a massive golden dragon on the front.
Tyson placed the book down on the table and said, "This is a book I received from Thundreas to keep safe on the last day I saw him. Within these pages is everything about dragons and dragon slayers."
He then flipped to a specific page and said, "Igneel told me that Iced Shell is a spell taught to humans by the first Ice Dragon 500 years ago, the dragon's name is Glacius, the Ice Dragon Queen and one of the strongest dragons to ever exist, with only Igneel and Acnologia coming close to her power. Iced Shell was a move she created and then taught to humans, but due to the difference in power, when a human casts Iced Shell, the caster's body is turned into raw ice to provide the medium needed to finish the move, while if a dragon used Iced Shell, they are only moderately tired. But my thinking is this: if there is any way to bring Ur out of the ice without freeing Deliora, the best being to talk to is the spell's creator. If anyone can find a way to free Ur, it is Glacius."
Gray felt hope blossoming in his chest, there may be a chance he might see his master again!
Tyson then said, "There's a problem though. Glacius died 4 centuries ago and her body wasn't recovered."
Gray felt his hope dying, when Tyson added, "However, Glacius used an ancient dragon technique called Dragon's Heart, where a massive portion of the dragon's soul is transferred to a specially crafted stone that will hold the dragon's soul for many years. Glacius's Dragon Heart was taken to her lair by her three creations, the Ice Golems. Their leader is the Ice and Stone Golem called Iceaton, his brother Substeel is the second strongest and he is the Ice and Steel Golem and finally, Aquacicle is the third Golem and she is the Ice and Water Golem. To get to Glacius's Dragon Heart, one must prove themselves worthy by passing three different trials: the trial of strength, the trial of the heart and the trial of the mind. If one passes these three trials, one is allowed to ask Glacius a question, which she must answer truthfully. If there is a chance of reviving Ur, Glacius will know."
"So, one of these Golems is based on water." Mizu questioned and Tyson nodded. "Then, the Water Dragon Slayer should be the best person to take her on if we end up fighting."
Gray then asked, "Where is Glacius's lair?"
Tyson answered, "Glacius's lair is far to the north, deep within the northern continent."
He then held up a large golden scale and said, "This dragon's scale will help us mind her lair."
Gray then said, "Well what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
Tyson replied, "We should let the master know what we intend to do."
Gray reluctantly nodded, then the small group of kids went over to Makarov.
Makarov then saw the kids walking over and he asked, "Well what can I do for you?"
Tyson then explained the situation and after a little bit of thinking Makarov then said, "Well, although I know Tyson is very powerful, this sounds too dangerous for all of you to go. If I allow to go, you must have Gildarts accompany you and only Gray, Tyson and Erza may go. Understood?"
"Hold on master." Mizu interrupted. "Now, you said one of the golems is Ice and Water, right?" He asked the trio.
They nodded.
"Well, who better to take on a golem that's part water than a Water Dragon Slayer." Tyson understood where he was coming from.
"Very well." Makarov sighed. "Mizu may join you."
Tyson and Erza then had a confused look on their faces and Tyson asked, "Who's Gildarts?"
Just then, the doors opened and a massive 7 foot tall man with short orange hair and small beard stubble walked in.
Makarov then yelled out, "Gildarts come over here!"
The massive man came over and said, "You called?"
Makarov nodded and then said, "Gildarts, you are our strongest mage. These kids are about to go on a dangerous mission and I want you to help them."
Gildarts then turned to the kids and said, "I don't believe we have met. My name is Gildarts Clive and I am the Ace of Fairy Tail."
Tyson smiled and said, "Hi, my name is Tyson Dragneel and this is my good friend Erza Scarlet."
Erza shyly said, "Hi."
"My name is Mizu Hydroplex." Mizu introduced himself.
Gildarts then asked, "So, what is our mission?"
Tyson's face turned serious and then he explained the whole situation and after a few minutes of talking, finished with, "So we want to go to Glacius's lair to find her Dragon Heart and ask her if there is any way we can revive Ur. But the trials are hard and this mission is guaranteed to be dangerous, so we were hoping you could accompany us to make sure the mission is a success and we all don't die."
Gildarts was silent for a few minutes, making Erza, Mizu, Tyson and Gray all uncomfortable, before he broke out into a massive grin and said, "Sure, I will help."
"Thank you." Tyson bowed. "With all our powers combined we should have no problem!"
Gildarts laughed and said, "We will meet here again at 10 o'clock sharp tomorrow and then we shall go to the train. Understood?"
The three nodded their heads and Gildarts turned, leaving to return to his house.
Tyson, Gray and Erza went back to their friends and talked with them for a while before they left to go get packed for the trip.
Time skip...
It was now 10 o'clock and Tyson, Erza and Gray were all waiting for Gildarts to appear.
Gray turned to Tyson and asked, "So, what can we expect from these trials?"
He shrugged and said, "Igneel never told me what the trials are, only that they are very difficult to beat and the Golems are very powerful, nowhere near as powerful as the dragons, but at least S-Class in strength."
Erza and Gray shivered at that thought, three S-Class monsters that they might fight? That's too much for them to handle right now.
Just then, Gildarts burst through the wall and said, "I am here! Are you four ready?"
They nodded and then Gildarts said, "Good, then let's go."
The group of five then set out for the train station and began their quest to revive Ur.
Time skip...
Tyson walked calmly through as the massive snowstorm raged around him, as if nature itself was trying to get rid of him.
Behind him, Gray was perfectly fine in the cold as well, what with him being an Ice-Make mage, this weather was perfect for him.
Gildarts was fine as well, with all the years of training, this snowstorm didn't affect him a lot.
Mizu had a thick winter coat on to keep him warm.
Erza was a different story, she was shivering from the frigid cold, even through her thick winter coat that she had bought a few days ago.
It had been two weeks since the group left Fairy Tail and since then, they have traveled into the far north, reaching the northern continent and right now they were half a day's travel to where Ur and Deliora were.
Tyson took out the golden scale and saw that it glowed brighter as he turned to the right.
"It's this way!" He yelled to the others.
The others followed him as he led them further on and about twenty minutes later, they came to a wide open cave.
Tyson lit his right hand on fire and provided light so they could see.
They saw a massive ice covered cave, no sign of life yet, but everyone knew they were being watched as soon as they entered.
Tyson led them forwards and eventually they came upon a large pair of metal doors that had a large light blue dragon symbol on the middle.
He then approached and placed his hand on it then closed his eyes.
A few seconds later he opened them and now his eyes were the same as they were when he is in Fire Dragon King Mode.
The door shook and shuddered before it opened up.
Tyson closed his eyes and when he opened them again, they were normal once again.
He then led the group forwards as they traveled deeper into the cave.
After a few minutes, they came to a large open cavern where at the end was a large pile of sharply pointed ice shards around it and a large pile of water in a pool nearby.
Tyson held up his right hand and said, "Stop. This is where the first trial will take place."
Then a loud feminine voice rang out, saying, "Right you are, Son of Igneel."
Then, the ice shards floated up and the water flowed up from the pool and they began to spin around each other, gaining more and more speed until finally, the ice shards formed a massive body, while the water formed into spots on the body's elbows, kneecaps, and a large water circle on the stomach area.
The golem was composed of sharp pure white ice, while the water was extremely light blue. There were a series of sharp icicles on the golem's head that appeared to look like a ponytail, while the rest of the body was surprisingly slim, suggesting this golem was built for speed and not for defense. This golem also had a large spear that had a aqua green jewel right behind the pointed end.
"I am Aquacicle, the first of the three Golem protectors of Glacius. If you wish to pass, you must first complete the Trial of Strength. Only one of you may attempt the Trial and if that person fails, you all must leave and never return. Who is your chosen champion?"
Tyson stepped up and said, "I will take you on."
Aquacicle then waved her spear and a magic barrier appeared, separating him from the rest of the group, thus preventing anyone from helping him.
He threw off his cloak as his body began to steam from all the heat he was pumping out.
"Are you ready?" Tyson asked.
"I am always ready, Son of Igneel. Let the Trial BEGIN!" Aquacicle yelled out as she charged towards Tyson with frightening speed.
He didn't move and waited for her to get closer, where he yelled out, "LIGHTNING DRAGON BREAKDOWN FIST!"
Tyson's emerald green lightning infused right fist smashed into the golem's stomach, specifically the water circle, his emerald green lightning crackled throughout the water, increasing the power and damage done by the move.
Aquacicle cried out as thousands of electric volts burned throughout her body, causing her entire body to start to smoke from the sheer power of the move.
He then followed the move up with, "LIGHTNING DRAGON BLITZKRIEG!"
Tyson fired numerous lightning bullets that pierced Aquacicle's body.
She screamed from the pain the bullets inflicted.
Aquacicle wouldn't go down that easily, she was a Golem protector of Glacius after all, she must not fail her mistress!
Aquacicle then pointed her spear at Tyson and yelled out, "FROZEN TSUNAMI!"
Her spear glowed light blue and then a large magic circle appeared and from it a large wave came out of the spear, the wave also had large chunks of ice to do massive harm to the target.
Tyson sighed, he could easily avoid this.
He waited for the wave to get closer before a whirlwind surrounded his body and he flew out of the way.
Tyson then landed back on the ground and yelled, "LIGHTNING DRAGON THUNDER DOME!"
His entire body became encased in a large emerald green dome of electricity and when the wave struck, the electricity traveled through the water and struck Aquacicle's spear with an amazing amount of power.
The spear crackled and smoked from the electricity then it fell apart.
Aquacicle growled and said, "You shall pay for that. That was my favorite weapon."
Aquacicle then waved her hands in a circle and shouted, "Hailstorm!"
From the circle came a swirling twister of water with razor sharp ice to deal loads of damage.
He sighed, this was way too easy, he was simply too powerful.
Tyson then shouted out, "DRAGON SLAYER SECRET ART: CRIMSON LOTUS: EXPLODING FLAME BLADE!"
He waved his ignited arms in an arc and created a swirling tornado of fire that struck the water and ice tornado and tore right through it with almost no difficulty.
Aquacicle barely had any time to react before the swirling fire tornado smashed into her.
Aquacicle screamed out as the most pain she had ever felt tore through her with the speed of lightning.
Aquacicle crashed into the ground and laid there, panting hard, this was the most difficult fight she had ever faced, but that was understandable since she was fighting the Son of Igneel, whose power was greater than her mistresses.
Aquacicle then struggled to her feet and said, "Son of Igneel, you have earned my respect. This is a great fight."
Tyson nodded and said, "I would like for this fight to continue, but we're here on a mission, so I need to cut this battle short."
Aquacicle grinned and said, "Then let us use our most powerful moves."
Tyson grinned and yelled out, "Dragon Slayer Secret Art: Storming Heavens: Electromagnetic Destruction Cannon!"
Aquacicle then yelled out, "Golem's Secret Power: ARCTIC FREEZER BLAST!"
A sphere of electricity formed in the palm of Tyson's hands. After the sphere became large enough he threw it at Aquacicle at high speeds, while Aquacicle then yelled as a massive blue and white sphere was created between her palms and then she threw it forwards.
The spheres collided and then Tyson ran forward, punching Aquacicle in the gut with a emerald green lightning coated fist, whose entire body was engulfed by the emerald green lightning, causing her incredible pain, while also causing her to be sent flying into the back of the cavern.
Aquacicle laid on the floor for a few minutes before she stood on her feet again and said, "I have been beaten by the Son of Igneel, but you have not yet passed the Trial of Strength."
"What?! But he beat you!" Erza yelled.
"Let her finish please." Tyson silenced her.
"Physical strength is not the only kind of strength there is. I want to know if he has moral and character strength. I will give you a scenario and you must give me the answer you best relate with. Don't try lying, for I will sense it if you do. Shall we begin?" Aquacicle asked.
Tyson nodded and said, "Go ahead."
"You have a mortal enemy. He has slain thousands of innocents, plus he has killed everyone you have ever cared about. You and he battle once again and this time, you beat him and he is now at your mercy. There is no one around, if you kill him no one will ever know and even if they did, no one would care. This man has more blood on his hands than anyone else and if you killed him, the world would be a better place for it, however if you spare him, he may go on to kill even more people. What do you do?" Aquacicle asked.
Tyson replied. "Spare him, obviously. It doesn't matter how many lives were taken, I'm not a executioner. With that said, I have no intention of letting him get off scot-free. I imprison him in the hopes he can be redeemed, no matter how long that would take."
Gildarts, Mizu, Gray and Erza were all proud of his answer as was Aquacicle, for she said, "You have chosen the long and hard path, yet you show nothing but determination. You are truly Igneel's son. You have shown that you have character and moral strength. You have passed the Trial of Strength, so you and your companions may proceed. However, you may not participate in the other two Trials, one of your friends must do it instead."
Tyson nodded and then the barrier separating both himself and his companions disappeared as Erza ran up and hugged him fiercely, saying, "You did it, you were awesome!"
Tyson chuckled and asked, "Did you have any doubt?"
Erza smiled and said, "Never."
He then turned towards Gildarts, Mizu and Gray and said, "Let's go. There's still the Trial of the Heart and the Trial of the Soul. We also have no idea which Golem controls which Trial, so we must move carefully."
Tyson then pulled out the golden scale once again and began to lead the group down even deeper into the cave.
Aquacicle had changed back into the group of ice shards and water and thought to herself, 'They are about to face my second brother, Substeel. I hope they can pass whatever is plaguing their souls, for if they fail, they will never be allowed the knowledge they seek.'
Back with the group...
Tyson and the others have been walking for about fifteen minutes when they came upon yet another open cavern, but this one was a lot smaller than the other one, plus there were shiny metal deposits all over the cavern, each one a different color.
At the back of the cavern there was a large pile of ice blocks, while a equally larger pile of sharp metal plates were visible as well.
Tyson then said, "This is where the second trial is taking place. From the looks of it, we're up against Substeel, the Ice and Steel Golem. Stay on guard, Substeel is a lot stronger than his sister."
"Right you are, Son of Igneel." A loud voice rang out over the cavern.
The pile of ice blocks and the metal plates began to fly into the air and once there, began to form together.
The Golem's upper and lower chest were broad and formed of large dark blue ice blocks, while on his back there were six large dark black steel spikes and on his front side, on either one of his pecs was a large snowflake shaped metal plate and down his abs were six rectangular metal plates.
The arms were blocky, made up of three parts: the shoulder blade where it had a triangular shoulder guard, the upper forearm where there were two spear shaped metal plates, while the lower forearms had a large metal gauntlet with three talons on the top part.
The hands and fingers were blocky as well, while each finger had a sharp metal spike at the end.
The legs were formed of three parts as well: The upper thighs were large and blocky and had a large rectangular metal plate on the front of them and on the outer side of the thighs, while the lower legs had a single metal spike on the front of them and had two metal plates on the other side as well, while the feet were large and rounded, while metal spikes came out of the bottom.
Finally, Substeel's face had two large flat spikes that formed a "V" on the top of his forehead, he was also bald.
"I am Substeel, the Ice and Steel Golem. You have come here seeking answers from Glacius. I would allow you to pass if I could, but my duty demands that I make one of you pass my Trial. Who shall it be?" Substeel asked.
Erza then tentatively walked forward and said, "I will do it."
Substeel then said, "So be it."
Substeel then formed a massive war hammer and smashed the pole into the ground, then a barrier formed between Erza and her friends.
Substeel then walked over to Erza and said, "My Trial is not one that can be beaten by simply using your fists, you must show me your soul, you must show me you, in all sense of the word. Are you ready?"
Erza nodded and then Substeel gently touched her face with his right hand and then Erza's vision whited out.
When Erza regained the ability to see, she froze.
She was in Rosemary Village, just as it was when the Zeref cultists were attacking it.
She saw dead bodies everywhere, as children screamed when they were caught by the Zeref cultists.
She then heard a voice say behind her, "Look, there's another one."
She then turned around as a fist connected and she saw black.
When Erza regained consciousness, she was at the Tower of Heaven again.
Erza was shaking, she couldn't be back here, Tyson and Mizu had destroyed the tower, she couldn't be back!
Erza was roughly thrown to the ground as a guard stood over her and said, "Listen whelp, you are to mine the Lacrima and you are to start right now! Now get to work!"
Erza got up and grabbed the pick axe, then began to mine.
Minutes turned into days, days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months and months eventually became years.
Erza had been back at the Tower of Heaven for two years now and Tyson and Mizu hadn't come and gotten her yet and neither had anyone else.
'They probably all think I am dead.' Erza thought sadly.
Erza then thought, 'If I am to escape, I must do it myself.'
Erza then began to practice using her magic in secret, but all she could ever do was lift a small pebble, it was as if her power was being blocked.
Erza was then caught trying to use her magic and as a result, her right eye was cut out.
Erza wept bitterly that night.
'Why am I so weak? Tyson is always telling me how powerful I am, yet I can't even raise anything larger than a small pebble. I was right, I am not worthy to be beside him. I really am trash.' Erza thought sadly.
Erza continued to think lowly of herself when suddenly, a small voice said, "I don't believe you are weak."
Erza's eyes shot open and she thought, "TYSON! YOU DID COME! PLEASE, I NEED YOU TO RESCUE ME AGAIN!"
"Not this time." He said, causing Erza to begin panicking.
'But why? I couldn't save anyone, I couldn't even save my right eye. I am just a worthless slave, you are the Fire Dragon Prince.' Erza thought back.
"Yes you can, you can save everyone. You just need to believe in yourself, like I believe in you." Tyson said.
'I can't. I am too weak. I can't do anything important. I am always going to be this pathetic slave girl in this awful tower.' Erza thought as tears started to build in her eyes.
"I've heard enough." Tyson said in a strong tone causing Erza to listen to him.
"YOU'RE NOT WEAK, UNDERSTAND! YOU'RE STRONGER THAN YOU THINK! YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY YOU ARE UNABLE TO USE MAGIC? IT'S NOT BECAUSE YOU ARE WEAK, IT'S BECAUSE YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN YOURSELF! YOU ARE BLOCKING YOUR POWERS WHEN YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. If you just believe in yourself and take a leap of faith, you can do it." Tyson said.
Erza looked at her hands and thought, 'You really think I can do this.'
A ghostly version of Tyson appeared and smiled down at her, then held out his left hand and said, "I know it. You have an extreme amount of power, but your fear, your self-doubt and your insecurities are holding you back from reaching your full potential. If you just let go, like you did when you saved my life, you can unlock a power greater than anything you can possibly ever imagine."
Erza then looked at her hands and then closed her eyes before she reached out and grabbed Tyson's hand, who pulled her to her feet.
She looked deep within herself and she was determined to save everyone.
All her fears, all her insecurities, all her self doubt, she let them all go and she felt a power deep within herself start to awaken and grow.
She felt the power continue to grow and grow and Erza was determined to not stop.
"Release your power Erza. No holding back, no fear, no self doubt. Believe in yourself and you will always triumph, even if you don't win physically, you will win spiritually, for if you know you did your best, then that is all anyone can ever hope for. Now, show me who ERZA SCARLET REALLY IS!" He shouted.
Erza yelled out as her power exploded outward and smashed apart everything around her.
Erza then looked down and saw a sword.
Erza reached down and grabbed it, then charged at the Zeref cultists.
They were no match for Erza, she was plowing through them as if they were pillows.
Erza never felt this good in her life! It felt as if a tiny star had been born in her stomach and she felt as if she could do anything.
Erza then telekinetically made every single dropped weapon rise from the ground and start attacking.
Erza held no fear of the Zeref cultists any longer, fear had been burned from her heart by her own hands and right now, she was taking down the men that had taken so much from her.
Erza continued this until there were no more Zeref cultists left and then the entire world began to break down into particles and was destroyed.
Erza then woke up, discovering she was still in the cavern and saw Substeel standing over her.
"Well done child. You faced your worst fears and destroyed them. Not many people can do that. You purged your soul of the darkness that was eating it's way in there. You are one day going to become an amazing wizard. You have passed the Trial of the Soul. All that's left is the Trial of the Heart and this time neither you, nor the Son of Igneel can take part in it, only one of the remaining three can." Substeel said.
Erza nodded and then stood up and to Tyson, she had never seemed taller, she was no longer the shy little girl that was rescued from the Tower, now she was a strong, confident young warrior who would one day grow to become an amazing wizard.
Tyson felt something in his chest, a feeling he had never felt before in his life as he stared at the new Erza.
He had always felt something towards the old Erza, but this new Erza just seemed to spark something in him that he had never felt before.
Tyson then looked towards Erza's eyes and saw a spark, a determination that wasn't there before and he felt his cheeks start to get a bit warmer, but thankfully no one saw this.
Erza walked back to her friends as the barrier collapsed and they were now once again united.
Tyson ran over and wrapped her in a hug, saying, "I was so worried when you started to thrash around. Are you okay?"
Erza nodded and said, "Wait, I thrashed around?"
"Yeah." Mizu replied.
Gray nodded and then added, "When Tyson saw that he tried to bust through the barrier, and it took everything the three of us had to keep him from tearing apart the barrier and getting to you."
Erza was shocked, he was willing to go that far to help her, she was honestly touched by him.
Tyson sheepishly rubbed the back of his head and said, "Sorry, but when you began to thrash about, I just wanted to help you."
Erza smiled and said, "I appreciate that. I really do, but I can take care of myself."
Tyson nodded, "I realize that now. Please forgive me for doubting you."
Erza smiled and said, "It's alright."
Gildarts then coughed and said, "Shall we go and complete the final Trial?"
The group nodded then left the cavern and traveled even deeper into the cave.
Substeel had changed back into his pile of blocky ice and metal sheets and thought, 'They are doing well. All they have to do is face Iceaton and beat his Trial and then they shall be allowed into Glacius's cavern. But Iceaton's Trial is the hardest of them all. I truly hope they can be honest and show what is in their hearts.'
With the group...
The group of five traveled even deeper into the cave, the temperature was dropping even more and Erza was really starting to feel the cold now, she couldn't stop her shivering.
Tyson walked over to her and wrapped her in a hug, with his arms wrapped around her waist.
"T-Tyson, w-what are y-you doing?" Erza stuttered out, this was so embarrassing!
Erza then felt his arms warm up and the cold stopped affecting her so much.
"I am just warming you up." He replied.
Erza looked away with a large blush on her face.
Tyson and the others continued to walk forwards for a bit before they came to yet another cavern, but this one was much larger than the other two before it and this one was very different than the others.
Here, there were large mounds of rocks everywhere, while ice grew over them, each one softly glowing both light blue and then changing into light green every few seconds.
In the middle, was a 12 foot tall Golem sitting in a lotus position.
The Golem was composed of light blue ice, while there were several light green rocks coming out of his body.
He was much bulkier than the other two Golems, he was built like a tank and his massive sword told the tale that he would be a incredible opponent.
He then stood up and said in a deep, commanding voice, "Travelers, you have come seeking knowledge. If you pass my Trial, you shall be allowed to talk to Glacius. Who among you shall take my Trial?"
Gray then walked forwards and said, "I shall take your Trial."
The Golem nodded and then said, "Very well. Then prepare yourself for Iceaton's Trial."
Iceaton then took his sword and stabbed it back into the ground, causing a familiar barrier to form once again.
Iceaton then said, "My Trial is simple, yet the most challenging at the same time. I shall ask you a question and you shall have one opportunity to tell me the right answer and if you give me a false answer, you shall fail my Trial and you shall never be allowed back. Are you ready?"
Gray nodded and then Iceaton said, "My question is, what do you wish for?"
Gray looked confused and said, "Excuse me?"
Iceaton then asked, "What is your only desire, what do you wish for from the bottom of your heart?"
Gray looked down and began to think long and hard, what did he want more than anything in the world.
After five minutes Gray then said, "My only desire...is to talk to Ur one more time."
Iceaton looked intrigued and said, "Please, elaborate."
Gray then said, "I want to talk to her just once more, I want to get on my hands and knees and beg for her forgiveness. It was my actions that got her killed and all I want...is to undo my mistake. I don't care what it costs me. I just want Ur back."
Gray was now crying and continued with a voice laden with emotions and said, "I want to hold her tight as I cry my heart out as I tell her how sorry I am, how sorry I am for my arrogance, how sorry I am for the way I talked to her, how sorry I am for the way I treated her, despite everyone she has done for me. I would give up anything, just to tell Ur how sorry I am."
Iceaton was silent for a few mintues and then he said, "Well done."
Gray looked up and said, "What?"
"I said well done. So many people have come down here after they have beaten my siblings and when I ask them my question, they tell me what they want at the moment, not their one true desire. You laid your heart out for all to see, regardless of how your friends might look at you after this. You showed courage and most importantly, you showed that your desire is not for money, fame, women, nothing, but just the desire to see your master one more time to apologize for something you did. You have shown me that you are truly worthy. I hereby announce for all to hear, that you have passed the Trial of the Heart. You and your friends may go into Glacius's domain." Iceaton said with respect in his voice.
The barrier disappeared and then Tyson, Mizu, Gildarts and Erza walked over to Gray. Tyson then said, "Good job Gray."
Gray nodded and then said, "Let's go. Our quest is almost at an end."
The others nodded and then the group left the cavern as Iceaton went back into his lotus position and thought.
'I am impressed by those humans. They have shown amazing amounts of character and high moral standards. I hope whatever they are seeking, they will find it.' Iceaton thought.
With the group...
Tyson, Gildarts, Mizu, Erza and Gray continued walking for about two more minutes before they came upon another large pair of doors with a large light blue dragon symbol.
Tyson once again walked forwards, placed his hand on the doors and closed his eyes, while channeling his power into the doors.
The doors opened with a loud scraping noise and when they were opened, the entire group gasped in shock.
The cavern before them was easily the largest of any the group had seen thus far, being about 1,000 yards in all directions, while a ten foot wide 20 foot thick bridge spanned the way towards a large crystal clear pedestal where a basketball sized white as snow round rock sat, while a light blue dragon symbol was on the front.
Tyson and the others walked until they reached the pedestal, where the rock then began to glow and then a ethereal shape began to form.
Within seconds, a massive dragon, easily the size of Igneel was now standing before them.
This dragon was pure white as snow all over her body, while several sky blue markings were on her legs, chest, back legs, wings and two were underneath each eye. She had a large pair of light blue horns coming from the back of her head that curved upwards at the end.
She opened her eyes and they were the purest sapphire blue in the world.
"Welcome travelers and especially welcome to you, Son of Igneel." She spoke with one of the most beautiful voices to ever grace the world.
"Hello, Glacius. I am Tyson Dragneel, son of Igneel. These are my friends Gildarts Clive, Mizu Hydroplex, Gray Fullbuster and Erza Scarlet. We have come here to ask you if there is a way to remove a person from Iced Shell without destroying the ice itself, to keep the occupant inside?" Tyson asked.
Glacius was silent for a few minutes before she said, "There is a special technique that can be used, but to use it, one needs to have the mark of the Ice Dragon Queen, so they would have the necessary power."
Tyson then asked, "How can this power be obtained?"
Glacius then laughed and said, "That is a second question, Son of Igneel, but since you are the son of a friend, I shall oblique you. I must deem them worthy."
"Is anyone here worthy?" Tyson asked before he could close his mouth.
Glacius laughed again and said, "You are truly Igneel's son, always thinking about others despite the consequences to yourself. But I shall oblique you one last time. If anyone here is worthy, I shall give he/she the mark."
Glacius then stared at each one of the group and after ten minutes of waiting, she said, "Gray Fullbuster, step forward."
Gray stepped forwards and Glacius then said, "I am going to give you a temporary tattoo on your left arm. When you reach your master's Iced Shell, place the tattoo to the ice and I shall free her. If I do, you may have a leftover portion of my power, so you may become a Ice Devil Slayer, due to the demonic energies within your master's Iced Shell. Do you accept this gift?"
Gray nodded and then Glacius said, "Very well."
Glacius then leaned over to Gray's left arm and breathed onto it, causing ice to form around his right arm.
After a few seconds, she moved back and the ice transformed into a light blue tattoo of her face.
Glacius then said, "Go and free your master."
The group nodded, then said their thanks and left, headed towards Ur's Iced Shell.
Time skip...
Two days have passed since the Trials and right now, our merry little band was right in front of Ur's Iced Shell.
Gray walked forwards and placed the tattoo right on the Iced Shell.
Immediately, the ice began to react, glowing a terrific light blue and then dark purple.
This went on for about seven minutes before the light blue won out and then the light blue formed into the shape of a woman and then the shape was violently thrown out of the Iced Shell.
Gray's tattoo disappeared and in it's place were a simple pair of black tattoos in the shape of bands.
The blue colored shape began to lose it's color and started to change.
Within seconds, the blue color retreated and in it's place was a 35 year old woman with dark purple hair and she had no clothes on.
Tyson, Gray and Gildarts all averted their eyes while Mizu changed into water as Erza helped dress the woman in the clothes they bought for just this moment.
A minute later, the woman was now dressed in a simple light blue winter jacket with light purple winter jeans.
Gray then ran over and began to sob, while saying, "Ur."
Gildarts then came over and said, "We have to get her checked out."
Gray nodded and Gildarts picked Ur up as the group of six began to run towards the nearest town.
Time skip...
Ur's eyes began to flutter open as she found herself in a hospital bed.
She looked around and saw Gray sleeping next to her.
"Hey." She said.
Gray instantly awoke and latched onto her, while sobbing and saying, "I'm sorry." over and over again.
Ur eventually calmed the boy down and then the two began to talk about all that has happened since Ur used Iced Shell.
Ur was shocked three years had passed, but she was happy Gray found a good guild to join.
Gray then asked, "So are you coming back to Fairy Tail with me?"
Ur sighed and said, "I just got back, I can't leave you now can I?"
Gray smiled and then hugged her again, happy his master was now back.
Tyson, Mizu, Gildarts and Erza heard it all and all smiled, Gray had suffered so much, he deserved this.
Smiling, the four left to leave the two alone for a while.
Time skip...
It had been three weeks since Ur's revival and since then, Gray, Ur, Mizu, Gildarts, Erza and Tyson have all traveled back to Magnolia Town and more specifically, Fairy Tail.
Ur asked Makarov if she could join, to which Makarov said yes, Ur was a very powerful wizard, so she would be a welcome addition to Fairy Tail.
Plus, according to Makarov, he would have had to be stupid to turn down such a beautiful woman.
Ur had her Fairy Tail emblem on the underside of her right palm, it was crystal blue with a dark shade of blue for the outline area and she was starting to like Fairy Tail.
Tyson and Erza had grown even closer since then, spending almost all the time with each other, even if it was simply hanging out or training, they spent nearly every single day together.
Gray had been training hard with Ur to master his new founded Devil Slayer magic, which he got from the corrupted ice of Deliora's Iced Shell.
Gildarts went on a Decade Quest, so no one expected to see him again for at least a year or so.
Tyson looked around and saw all the smiling and happy faces of Fairy Tail and he smiled as well.
This was starting to feel like home.
