I don't own anything.
"Reitei-Sama, we have intruders on the ground floor and have been fighting through our agents. This is most unfortunate news." Sherry said.
Sherry would be with Reitei as the man didn't seem bothered by the news at all.
"I figured as much when I heard that rumbling sound from the lower levels. Even if I dislike bloodshed they must be killed because they have seen Deliora." This Reitei-sama person stated.
Gray along with Lucy.
Lucy quickly dodged an attack that was made for her legs. She had to jump back and with the distance made, Lucy would inevitably use her whip to strike her opponent down.
'Yes!' She mentally cheered.
Lucy would counterattack by grabbing a hold of one of her golden keys. She pointed the key to the ground before twisting it as if she was unlocking a door.
"Open Gate of the Virgo! Punish them!" Lucy ordered.
A yellow color magical circle appeared underneath the key before Virgo would be summoned onto the battlefield. Virgo would have pink color hair, blue color eyes and was dressed in a maid outfit. She would have two chains attached to her wrist via handcuffs. However, the handcuffs weren't actually held together due to the chain being broken.
"Right away, princess." Virgo said.
Virgo plowed through the masked enemies without a second thought. Gray did his own attack as he unleashed his fist into Someone's face. The cloaked figure went flying into one of his comrades.
"Ice Make: Hammer!" Gray shouted.
Gray used ice make magic to make a monstrous sized hammer made out of ice. He swinged it down into a group of enemies. The pair fighting their way up to the top of the temple eventually reaching said roof. The pair hid behind a ruined wall as they peered over it to look at the people gathering at the sight.
"Toby, Sherry, and Yuka. I want you to eliminate the village. We don't know the identities of the intruders but they must have came from the village. Therefore, the village hired wizards to stop us and unfortunately they must die along with the village everything must be eliminated." Reitei-Sama said.
"What? Is he some kind of maniac?" Lucy whispered to Gray.
Gray recognized the voice. Why? Why the hell was he here!? Gray stood up to full height. He moved over the wall.
"Gray, what are you doing?" Lucy asked.
"Lucy go help Natsu in protecting the village. I'll deal with the Reitei guy." Gray told her.
Lucy didn't look convinced.
"Go!" Gray snapped at her.
Lucy gave a nod as she made headway back to the Village. Gray made his presence known to the four.
"What the hell is wrong with you, Lyon!?" Gray shouted.
Gray walked up to the four people but stopped after being at least nine feet away from them. The group looked at Gray.
"My, my, are you here for the job? It's quite the coincidence don't you think?" Reitei-sama stated.
"Cut the crap! What the hell do you think you're doing trying to revive Deliora!?" Gray shouted.
Reitei grew a smirk as he finally removed his helmet to expose his true face to Gray.
"Why the hell do you care all of a sudden?" Lyon asked.
"Lyon knows these people?" Yuka asked.
"It seems like it." Sherry said.
"Carry out my orders you three!" Lyon shouted.
"Yes sir!" All of them shouted back.
The trio rush off to make preparations to attack the village.
"Like you're getting anywhere, Ice Make: Geyser!"
Gray sent out ice towards the trio but Lyon jumped in the way of the attack. Lyon himself made the same spell as Gray and the spells canceled the other out.
"Lyon!" Gray shouted.
Lyon just gave Gray a smirk.
"With you trying to resurrect Deliora you've made yourself unable to be Ur's disciple!" Gray yelled.
Gray was now consumed with madness and rage. It didn't help that he was worried about Ur and Natsu. His emotional and mental instability become worse at knowing Lyon was taking part in whatever this farce is.
"Neither are you, Gray." Lyon said.
"Ur gave up her life to seal Deliora away and yet you want to bring it back!?" Gray responded.
"You seem to have been reshaping your memories to avoid the responsibility that you murdered Ur." Lyon said.
Gray came to a full stop at hearing those words. Gray sweat ran cold as he felt himself freezing up. Lyon took Gray's moment of vulnerability to retort.
"How dare you shamelessly go on living while she died protecting her stupid pupil."
Meanwhile with Natsu.
"And just where do you think your going?"
Natsu hadn't even made it out of the temple when he heard someone talking from behind him. Natsu turn to face the person. It was a short man with a mask but Natsu knew immediately that this person is Ultear in disguise.
"I take it your assignment is colluding with Siegrain. What does he want with Deliora anyways?" Natsu asked.
"I'll tell you if you hand over that woman to me." Ultear said in a feminine voice this time.
Which basically meant, "give her to me so I can kill her."
"I guess interfering with each others jobs won't make The Master too happy with us. I think, I'll just keep her that way I can get back into Fairy Tail's good graces."
A vein would have been visible if it wasn't hiding behind the mask. The man seemed pissed off this time.
"Natsu, I really don't want to kill you but if you insist on trying to make me believe these lies surrounding my mother. I'll have no choice but to kill you." Ultear said.
"You could but you'd have to explain to Hades why you killed me. That'd risk Meredy, are you sure you want to do that?" Natsu asked.
It was a low blow but Natsu didn't have time to play with Ultear. The female became increasingly furious now that Meredy was brought into the conversation. However, he did have a point even if it was a low blow. The consequences for her would be too much and even she wasn't sure she could protect Meredy from the entire Guild. Especially a furious Meredy. Her adoptive daughter clinged to Natsu as a older brother figure. Damn him.
"Fine, you win. I don't know what you see in that woman but when the time comes, after you leave Fairy Tail. I'll kill her." Ultear stated.
"She'll knock some sense into you that's for sure. You're wrong about her Ultear." Natsu said.
"What makes you say that?" Ultear asked with annoyance in her voice.
Ultear felt a chill run up her spine as she found that the atmosphere drop.
"I'll cut off my right arm and slit myself open right in front of you. That's how sure I'm." Natsu said.
Ultear looked into Natsu's eyes. He was serious as ever. Even when she stared him down. Natsu had not flinched instead openly challenged her. Eventually, she relented.
"Do whatever you want." Ultear spoke.
"...ugh..." Ur groaned out.
The female couldn't even raise her head but she felt like someone was carrying her. Ur weakly open her eyes to see the ground as she heard people talking.
"...thank you. If you hadn't been honest with me years ago, I would have screwed up." A man said.
She didn't hear the person the man was talking too respond but she found them moving to somewhere. Ur lost consciousness after that as she was claimed by the abyss. Natsu headed out of the temple with Ur in hand while Ultear retreated further into the temple.
Back at the Guild.
Erza had taken a short mission. She wanted to seek out Natsu and help him settle into the routine of things. The Female watch as everyone seem to stiffen like iron rods. They hadn't done anything wrong, why were they acting like they were ready for her to explode?
"Erza, I know you just got back but we have a major problem. Natsu had forced Lucy, while kidnapping Gray and roped them into doing a S-Class mission."
Erza couldn't process it right away because surely, Natsu wasn't capable of doing that right? Right!? I mean, he didn't even ask for a reward for trying to rescue her from the council no less.
"I'm sorry, Erza. Laxus confirmed that Natsu took the S-Class job and he did drag Lucy out the whole. They both didn't return. Gray offered to get them back when we found about Natsu illegally taking the S-Class job. However, Gray hasn't returned earlier. Which must mean that he is forcing both of them to do the job. We don't know how strong he is and we have to send you. Laxus has declined to get them back here." Makarov explained.
Now that it was sinking, Erza felt betrayed. She thought that Natsu was a good person. However, it was clear that he had just done that to put on a good image. Erza even began to theorize his actions. Natsu would take the reward money all for himself after doing horrible things to her two teammates. It is unacceptable! Erza became furious!
"Where are they going?" Erza got out.
The entire Guild did their best not to look at her. She was so angry that she just wanted to know where they had went.
"Galuna Island."
Erza stormed out the Guild Hall with nothing but fury. Natsu would pay for deceiving her and the guild. He would pay dearly for every single thing.
Back on Galuna Island.
"I'm surprised you even have the nerve to mention her name!"
Lyon attacked Gray with the ball of ice landing onto Gray's shoulder. Gray would be thrown back after taking the attack. Gray hit the ground before getting back to his feet.
"What's wrong? Is your guilt preventing you from attacking me? If so, I'd rather you not interfere while I try to revive Deliora." Lyon said.
"Deliora is already dead, Lyon." Gray told Lyon.
"What?" Lyon asked.
"Natsu, a wizard of Fairy Tail managed to revive Ur. He's taking her to the village as we speak but in reviving Ur, he freed Deliora. That's when we saw the Demon crumble to pieces because of it being frozen for so long." Gray informed Lyon.
"But that's impossible, Iced Shell is suppose to turn the body into ice and even with time magic it wouldn't be able to manipulated. Gray are you trying to make up a ploy to get me to stop?" Lyon asked.
Gray hated that Lyon wasn't listening to him but it was his fault that caused Lyon to hate him so much. Is there really no way for him to get Lyon to stand down without using force?
"I plan on to revive Deliora now, if you could stop with theatrics that'll be great. I don't have time for them." Lyon chastised Gray.
Gray grew a frown it looked like he would have no choice but to fight Lyon.
"Lyon don't make the same mistake as me. Deliora isn't something we can't take on, it's too strong for us. At least, take my experience, my failure, my stupidity as a warning. You'll kill everyone here." Gray pleaded.
Lyon's bangs covered his eyes.
"Yes, your stupidity did cause me my dream of surpassing Ur. That was my goal. Now, I will never get to fulfill it because you destroyed it. However, I have seen it in action. I know how strong it is and I have gathered the strength to beat it unlike you." Lyon said.
"Yet, why attack the villagers when these are your intentions? How would Ur feel knowing you went to exterminate a village for no reason!? You'd think she would want to wake up to news of that!?" Gray asked.
"Since when did you become the paragon of good? This farce is getting tiring, Ur is never waking up Gray. If you can't accept the fact that she is dead. I'll have to beat it into you. The fact is because you challenged Deliora is what caused Ur's death!" Lyon said.
Lyon had enough as he unleashed a attack with one hand.
"Ice Make: Eagle!"
Gray saw several eagles made out of ice coming for him. Gray would defend by placing both hands together as he conjured up his magic.
"Ice Make: Shield!"
He put a ice barrier. Lyon nearly rolled his eyes as he made his ice move around the shield as if it was just a mere obstacle. The eagles crashed landed onto Gray as he took the full force of the attack.
"I see you have a screw loose Gray either from the guilt or the trauma. My specialty has always been making my ice make magic have movement and appear alive while yours is static."
Gray rolled out of the smokescreen that was made out of ice. He rolled to his feet as Gray placed both hands together while aiming the hands at Lyon.
"Ice Make: Hammer!"
Lyon saw the Ice Hammer coming down from above and he merely used one hand. Lyon sticked two fingers up towards the hammer.
"Ice Make: Ape." Lyon stated.
A ape made out of ice appeared and used its arm to block the falling hammer. The ape had to sacrifice it's arm and even suffered damage to its head to stop the hammer. Meanwhile, the hammer remained as solid as ever. It looked like Gray had the edge in technique. However, Lyon's more animated ice and faster call out time help to negate Gray's advantage.
"You're still such a waste, you still need two hands to do Ice Make: Magic." Lyon said.
"That's how Ur taught us! If we use one hand we have bad balance in our creations and they're much weaker!" Gray shouted.
"You'll find me as the exception, I have long since surpassed Ur." Lyon boldly stated.
"Don't give me that crap! There's no way for you to know that!" Gray shouted.
"Yet, you can't touch me with one of your attacks. That is more than enough proof." Lyon stated.
"Watch me, Ice Make: Geyser!!"
Gray tried the attack again but Lyon had caused it to crumble into nothingness with relative ease. Gray was breathing heavily at this point. He was too worked up.
"I'm still the superior student, I was and will always be better than you. Even with us taking different paths, our positions remain the same. As if frozen in time. Ice Make: Dragon."
Lyon used one hand to summon a dragon made out of ice that came from underneath Gray's feet. Gray found himself taking the hit as he was launched into the air.
"I will melt that ice so I can walk paths that have been closed." Lyon stated.
Gray crashed to the ground and despite the injuries littering his body. He got to one knee while looking at Lyon.
"However, I do have one final method. If I can take out the great demon that not even Ur could stop, than I can see the continuation of my dream!" Lyon shouted.
Gray remembered what happened shortly before meeting Lyon again. Natsu had revived Ur and despite using a countless amount of magic. Natsu had stood back up as tall as ever. He faced the Demon down. As if he would defeat it. Gray...Gray believed Natsu could do what Ur could not, no one was able to find a way back to 'revive' Ur but Natsu did it. Gray grew a weak smile.
"You're wrong Lyon, you can't beat Deliora. There is only one other person that can beat Deliora. That is our resident rulebreaker, Natsu. He's stronger than Ur and you."
Lyon was enraged by the statement.
"Ur is The Greatest Wizard! There's no one stronger than her but me! How dare you! You were never fit to say her name!"
Gray would be encased in ice as Lyon shoved his palm forward right at Gray.
"Begone from my sight!"
Gray would be launched into the air and that wasn't the end because Lyon would shatter the ice around Gray before Gray left Lyon's range. Gray took nasty damage as stab wounds and cuts appear around his body. However, he didn't get respite as he fell down the mountain and crashed landed into the ground.
