The group runs towards the temple to look for Natsu

Happy: Maybe he is trying to run from Erza too.
Natsu battles Lyon inside the temple (Goes an canon)

Roxas: I'm sure he's fine.

---------------------------

The entire team was surprised as to what Gray had just told them. "What do you mean, Gray?" Erza asked

"Yeah, I thought that Ur was dead the entire time." Lucy said.

"There gotta be more to it." Ariel nodded.

 "The beginning is a good place to start." Roxas said. "What happened back when you were Ur's pupil?"

Gray began to explain his past in detail to the team about his past involving Ur and Lyon.

This happened at a time when Gray's home city was destroyed by Deliora and he was one of the few survivors of the incident. Gray was first found by Lyon and Ur and he walked over to a grave he made for his parents and he swore that he would never forgive Deliora.

This was when he began his training with Ur and Lyon and Ur told Gray that her training was tough, but Gray held his resolve and he remained determined to continue his training. Once she said they would begin training she suddenly stripped down to her underwear and Gray was shocked and surprised and he saw Lyon do the same thing. Ur told him that he had to get used to the cold if he was going to learn Creation Magic as Gray continued complaining because he wanted Ur to teach him magic. So Gray also stripped down to his underwear as well. Ur made an important point that in order to master Creation Magic they have to become devoted to it and find their own form.

Gray also revealed that it was Lyon's dream to surpass his teacher and while Ur was shopping for food. Lyon told him that Ur took him in because he was wrapped in darkness, and because Gray saw his family killed by Deliora he wouldn't be surprised that he was under that darkness. Ur wanted to guide Gray from the darkness that he was currently enveloped in, but he declared he would drive it away himself. And he said that after he beats Deliora he would leave Ur and he did this while calling her an Ice-queen and this earned him a punch on the head from his teacher.

Later he asked when he would learn some powerful magic and he is told by his teacher that he already has and he is told that Creation Magic can be as strong as he wants it to, Gray is very skeptical of this and it is revealed that he is in his boxers and he is holding his jacket. Ur furiously asked why he stripped and Gray blames Ur for his habit and he is then punched high into the sky, much to the humor of the surrounding towns' people.

As they were walking from town, a wagon passed them the people inside mention that Deliora was seen attacking the city of Brago and this causes Gray who was holding his bag of groceries and he suddenly dropped them the second he heard what those men were saying.

Later at night on the same day, a snowstorm was brewing and Gray set off to fight and defeat Deliora and Ur and Lyon tried to convince him that going against Deliora would be futile and he should stay but he ignored his teacher. Ur threatened to expel him and he would no longer be his student if he left, but Gray didn't care and he ran off the City of Brago to battle Deliora.

In the present Roxas, Lucy, Ariel and Happy are tilting their heads as they took a look at the temple which has been tilted to their left. "Hey guys, I don't think the temple was tilted like that before." Lucy said.

"No." Gray responds. "This must be Natsu's work."

"Looks like he probably did it on purpose to. Now it can't shine on Deilora now." Roxas said. "Guess destroying things really does come in handy at times."

Ariel and Lucy shared a look while Happy is still trying to un-tilt his head as it looked locked into position and he flies back slightly and there is a rustle in the bushes and a crescent shaped blade with a purple orb sped to them and Roxas grabbed Lucy and pulled her out of harm's way, Ariel flipped backwards and Erza pushed Happy far back, causing him to slam into nearby trees.

The saw a crowd of the same wizards who were performing the Moon Drip ceremony. "We finally have you, Fairy Tail." A female wizard part of the group said. Erza made a magenta magic circle appear in front of her and she made a sword come out of it.

"Gray, go deal with Lyon. We will handle these people." Erza said and Lucy took out her whip while Roxas and Ariel got into fighting stances.

"Don't worry, Gray we can handle these guys." Lucy confidently said, cracking her whip.

"You better kick that guy's ass this time." Ariel told him, engulfing her fists in spiraling water.

Gray then ran towards the temple and Roxas cleared a path with a powerful shockwave and Gray ran along the route.

"Roxas! Go with him!" Erza ordered.

"Huh?"

"Lucy, Ariel and I can handle them, I want you to help Gray end this. I can tell you are wise beyond your years, I want you to help him, I can feel another evil presence on this island."

Roxas nodded. "I gotcha." He then flew high into the air  over the wizards before he shot through the forest and chased after Gray.

Gray was running to the temple and he heard a familiar burst of magic and Roxas was now on flying next to the ice Wizard.

"Roxas, what are you doing here?" Gray asked

"Isn't it obvious? I'm going to help you, Erza, Misty and Lucy said they would be fine with just the three of them, plus, I want to see just how strong Lyon is, so I can get a shot at him." Gray thanked Roxas and they kept moving towards the temple. "So you told us how you met up with Ur and Lyon, but you never got to explaining what happened to Ur, and how you know that she is alive."

"I was afraid you were going to ask that." Gray said. "Well if I must..." he said and Gray began explaining the conflict that happened between her and Deliora.

--------------------

-Flashback Begins-

In the city of Brago, the demon Deliora war raging his reign of terror and standing in its way was Ur and she glared at the monster, meanwhile on the ground both Gray and Lyon were temporarily down for the count.

Deliora was about to fire a light green beam towards the passed out Gray and Lyon, but Ur was ready to stop the monster in its tracks.

"Ice-Make: Rose Garden!" She yelled and she had the side of her right fist on her left palm and she made an ice rose garden that spread to Deliora and it binded him temporarily and this sent the beam away from them but it still hit a large portion of the city and this made a huge explosion. Gray slowly regained consciousness. "Gray, take Lyon and get out of here!" Ur yelled.

"Why did you come here?" Gray asked. "I thought I was expelled, what about your happiness?"

"I don't need to chase happiness because I see my happiness in the two of you. I came here so I can get that happiness back."

"Ur, your leg." Gray noticed and he saw that her right leg is actually a prosthetic ice leg.

"Oh this, I made it. Isn't Creation Magic exciting, you can create all sorts of wonderful things with it." Ur said. "If Deliora is the reason for your darkness then I have a reason to fight it! Leave, Gray. I want you to pursue your own happiness. You and Lyon."

"NO! It's all my fault that this is happening!" Gray yelled out and he began crying.

Lyon's eyes flicker open and he sees the destruction around him. He had a wicked smile on his face and he walked over to Ur. "You will defeat Deliora, right. There is no way that, that thing will win against the strongest wizard in all the world."

"Lyon, there are others stronger than I."

Lyon's smile quickly fades and he glares at his teacher. "If you are not the strongest. Then what was my training for!?"

"Lyon..."

"I want to surpass you, that is my dream, but if you're not the strongest wizard. Then what would be the point!?" He looks to his teacher. "Ur, don't you dare lose to that monster you hear me!?"

"Listen Lyon." Ur began but Lyon began running towards Deliora.

"If you're not going to battle seriously, then I will!" he said and he looked up and he pulled his arms back and he thrusted them forward while putting them in an 'X' position with his left palm facing upwards and his right palm facing downward.

"Where did you learn that pose!?" Ur asked

And a whitish blue magic circle appeared on the ground below him and it was going to cover him in a bluish white flash of energy. "I read one of your magical books on my own. Why didn't you teach us these spells?"

"Have you read it all the way to the end?!" Ur yelled.

"Anyone who uses Iced Shell will be frozen forever and I will be the one to seal away Deliora!" Lyon yelled as the energy of the Iced Shell was going to use his body to freeze Deliora. Suddenly Lyon was frozen in an ice rose and he was stopped from finishing the spell.

"That little brat, I can't believe he was going to use the same spell I was. He is going to be a great wizard some day." She said as she sighed.

"UR!" Gray yelled.

Ur assumed the same stance that Lyon made earlier and as this happened rocks began rising into the air from the burst of energy and light blue energy began swirling around and a bluish white magic circle appeared above Deliora, two to its sides and one more in front of it.

Gray could only look in horror as she was performing the spell that would seal Deliora, but would come at a great cost.

"Ultimate Freeze! Iced Shell!" Ur yelled and she broke the 'X' stance and the energy around her exploded and it sent four energy beams of the same colour at the magic circles and they soon disappeared when they were hit, and as they disappeared there was an explosion and Deliora was beginning to become encased in ice and as this happened Ur's right eye looked like it lost all colour and a crack was running through it. "Gray, can you do something for me?" she asked. "I want you to tell Lyon that I died, if he knew that I became ice, then he would waste his life trying to break the spell. I want both of you to see the world and step out into the future. Gray, with this spell I seal away your darkness." And with those final words Ur's body became the ice that was supposed to freeze Deliora for an eternity.

Later Lyon wakes up and he sees Gray crying and sees the frozen Deliora. "Iced Shell?" he asked and Grey nodded. "Where is Ur?" he asked and Grey didn't respond. "Gray?" Lyon said as he felt as if her knew what he was going to say.

"Ur is dead." Gray said and all the emotion from Lyon's face fell.

"What are you talking about? She is not dead. You're lying, tell me you are lying!" he yelled. "How can I surpass her now!? My dream is ruined!" he exclaimed. He glared at Gray. "If you hadn't challenged Deliora, Ur would still be here, I would still  have a dream. Gray you killed Ur!" and he punched him in the face and he ran off.

-Flashback Ends-

---------------------

Meanwhile Natsu and Lyon were still fighting and after one more clash where Lyon summoned a bluish white magic circle and Natsu summoned a orange-red magic circle and both collided.

"You're a handful pointy eyes!" Natsu said

"But your eyes are pointy too." Lyon pointed out.

Suddenly the ice walls behind them shattered and coming from behind them was Gray and Roxas.

"Gray, Roxas?" Natsu forced out.

"Yo." Roxas waved at him.

"Natsu, Roxas. Let me handle this." Gray said as he walked to face Lyon.

"Gray, are you sure?" Roxas asked and when he got no response he had already gotten his answer.

"You have hurt a lot of people on this island, Lyon. You are going to turn them back to normal, then you and your allies will leave immediately." Gray demanded.

"And what if I don't..." his eyes widened when he saw Gray move into a familiar stance. Lyon saw that this was the stance of the Iced Shell. "That pose..."

"This is your last chance Lyon, I know that I am the reason that Ur is dead and I will take responsibility for that one day. It is because of this I am prepared to die!" Lyon said and Natsu looked to Roxas.

"Roxas, what's he doing?!" Natsu asked

"No, he isn't..." Roxas began as he had a very good idea of what Gray was doing. "Gray, what are you doing!?"

As Gray was in the position for the Iced Shell, a light blue magic circle formed on the floor under his feet and there was a whitish blue energy that began swirling. "So, which is it Lyon. Do we live together or do we die together!?"

Lyon smirked. "Go ahead and do it, because I know it's a bluff."

"This is no bluff Lyon!"

"Do it! You don't have the guts to die!" Lyon taunted.

"Too bad!" Grey said 'It looks like I will be taking my exit... Natsu, Erza, Roxas. Everyone at Fairy Tail. I will leave the rest up to you. This is... the end!' He thought as he was about to cast the Iced Shell to eternally freeze Lyon.

"GRAY!" Natsu yelled and he looked over to Roxas. "Roxas..."

"We gotta stop him, he can't cast that spell!"

"Iced..."

"IDIOT!" Natsu and Roxas yelled to Gray and he was punched in the face by Natsu, stopping the mage from performing Iced Shell.

"Natsu! What are you doing!?" Gray yelled

"You come in here talkin 'responsibility' then you be takin my kill?" Natsu angrily said.

"Your kill? I'm going to be the one who will beat him!"

"Well I didn't say, 'you will fight him sir'." Nastu replied as he smirked.

Gray grabbed Natsu by his scarf. "I Have to be the one that beats him I don't care what you say. I'm prepared to die!"

Roxas said as he got in between them.. "Is that so... you dying isn't winning, that's running away! Dying is not the answer. Fight to live for today!"

Suddenly the entire building began shaking and the temple that was tilted before was returning to its original state. Natsu began kicking the walls in the room in frustration.

"Why is the temple back to normal, after all the trouble of breaking it in the first place!" Natsu yelled in anger

"Now that it is back to normal, the light will shine on Deliora." Gray said.

"Well so much for the easy way." Roxas said. "If I got her sooner, I could've helped with tilting this thing."

Zalty ran into the room. "Sorry I took so long, but the ceremony may commence, I have fixed the temple." He said.

"Whoa! How did you do that!?" Roxas asked.

"Yeah!" Natsu added

Zalty just ran out of the room.

"Ignored!" Roxas and Natsu exclaimed in unison. "I'm going after him!" Roxas said and he flew after Zalty.

Natsu followed but he stopped before the doorway. "Gray, Me and Roxas will take care of the little man, you finish things here." He said. "The last time you lost was a disgrace." Natsu said.

"I know." Gray said.

"Not for you..." Natsu began.

"For all of Fairy Tail!" they both said and Natsu left the room to chase after Zalty.

-------------------

Meanwhile it was nightfall outside. Erza was holding a staff with a pointed tip and she was slicing though the wizards that would perform the Moon Drip ceremony. Lucy slapped another few with her whip, Ariel sent most of them flying with water and Happy threw what looked like, some kind of rotten seafood on the face of one of them.

"Do not falter, we do this for Reitei so he can defeat Deliora!" one of the masked wizards said. 

Soon they all felt the ground shaking, causing everyone to look around.

"What is that?" Erza asked.

Lucy quickly looked at the temple. "Hey, why is the temple back to normal?" she asked.

"No idea, but that makes Natsu's idea useless. Now how about we get rid of these guys!" Ariel said.

"You got it!" Lucy exclaimed and she took out a golden key. "Open, Gate of The Great Crab! Cancer!" suddenly a humanoid form with tanned skin, wore a blue long sleeved blue buttoned shirt with black pants with green glasses with black rims, he had a gold chain around his neck and had a crab like appearance on his head and he had six crab legs from his back and he held twin scissors.

Erza took a look at the spirit. "Aren't you..."

"Hey, that's the Crab-Man from before." Ariel said, in surprise.

Suddenly Cancer held a bouquet of flowers in front of Ariel and Erza. "My ladies please accept this gift. –Babies." He said.

"HAA! What's with the flowers! What's with 'My ladies'! And why are you courting them!" Lucy exclaimed.

"Someone's jealous." Happy said.

"Cancer! Make them unable to fight anymore."

----------------------

Meanwhile inside the temple Lyon and Gray were glaring at each other. "Lyon, did you count on Natsu stopping me from using the Iced Shell?"

"No, I didn't think he would get anywhere near that kind of magic. But I have allies here who have the same goals as I do, if you froze me, the Moon Drip ceremony would defrost me anyway." Lyon said.

"So, Iced Shell is powerless here. I was careless."

"So do you still intend to fight me, Gray?" Lyon asked.

"Stop this! Lyon! You must give up on Deliora!"

Lyon chuckles a little. "Is your guild like a dentist that just de-fangs it's members?"

"Lyon, you should know something, Ur is alive! When Iced Shell was cast to seal Deliora, it didn't kill her; it only turned her body to the ice that is sealing Deliora. The ice you are trying to melt is Ur herself!" Lyon's eyes widened. "I'm sorry for not telling you earlier, I made a promise to Ur that I wouldn't. She figured if you knew the truth, you would try to break the spell and you would waste your life doing that."

Suddenly Lyon put his hand on Gray's stomach and a light cyan glow was seen from his hand and he made an ice like panther stabbed through Gray and it ejected through his back. "I already knew that all along! But Ur isn't alive anymore she is just scraps of ice. You must grow up! Gray!" and Gray was holding his stomach as he was on the ground. Suddenly Gray punched Lyon in the face and he flew and he slammed into the ice he made earlier. "How can you move with such an injury?!"

"That's it!"

"Huh?"

"I'm tired of trying to save you!" Gray said and he put his fist on his left palm and he blasted a lot of ice arrows, Lyon was hit by some of them and he found some space.

"Ice-Make: Snow Dragon!" and he sent a dragon made of ice of a light cyan magic circle and it Gray was hit by the attack and he stood up and glared at Lyon. "I cannot waste any magic on you, because I still have to fight Deliora."

"Then we will settle it this way." Gray said while holding out his right fist.

Lyon smirked and chuckled. "You challenging the older student to a hand to hand battle." Lyon sped over to Gray and he punched him in the stomach where he was stabbed earlier. "Aim for your opponent's weak spots, that is what Ur taught us."

"Don't you dare, speak that name!" Gray yelled and he stretched to punch Lyon but he was kneed on the stomach.

"You are pathetic Gray!" Lyon taunted and he elbowed him in the back and he kept punching him over and over in the face and gave him one uppercut in the face and he threw his knee in his chest and he threw one high kick that sent Gray flying to the ice wall and it cracked.

----------------------

Meanwhile Natsu and Roxas were chasing Zalty.

"Wait up! Damn it!" Natsu yelled.

"Man, he's pretty fast for a small man." Roxas commented.

Zalty stopped running for a second and he outstretched his right hand up and it a white magic circle appeared and a circular part of the roof came down and Natsu kicked the roof part with his feet that were on fire and suddenly the shattered remains of the roof part came back together and it floated back into the roof.

"What did you just do?" Roxas asked in shock.

"Arc of Time Magic. I returned that part of the ceiling to the past before the Salamander destroyed it."

"Time Magic?"

"It is a type of Lost Magic, your Dragon Slayer and Fox Slayer Magic are similar." Zalty added.

"Huh, it is?" suddenly he disappeared from both of their sights.

"He disappeared!" Natsu and Roxas exclaimed.

----------------------

Meanwhile Gray was leaning on the ice wall after he faced Lyon's kick. "Stand up!" he heard in his mind and he flashed back to when Natsu was telling him to stand up, yet ironically, Natsu was the one on the ground. He remembered Natsu's persistence and how he would never give up no matter how hard the opponent and he was beating Natsu in the flash back.

"Just give up, Gray. I am the older pupil and you are no match for me." Lyon said.

But Gray got up. "This fight isn't over yet!" He ran over to Lyon and he punched him in the face but Lyon slightly stepped back and both Ice Wizards charged to each other and the punched each other in the face but Gray's punched proved more effective and this sent Lyon flying to the ice wall. "I cannot lose! Not until I've beaten him!" he said as he remembered his fight with Natsu again.

"You bastard!" Lyon yelled as ran over to Gray but he was head butted and they both entered a fist fight in which neither of them were gaining the upper hand. Gray kept flashing back to when he and Natsu were fighting as kids and he applied the same headstrong resolve that Natsu does and he was using this to match Lyon in hand to hand combat.

"I will not lose to you, Lyon!" Gray yelled as he was punched in the gut but he arched his arm back and he punched Lyon in the face and he threw his knee to Lyon's stomach and he had an opening and he punched Lyon in the face and he flew back and he crashed into the ice wall and it shattered.

"Gray! Ice-Make: Snow Dragon!" Lyon yelled and he made a light cyan magic circle appeared in front of him and he shot out an ice dragon that engulfed half of Gray's body in its mouth and this also aggravated Grey's weak point so he broke the ice dragon with his elbow and he slid on his back.

"You broke our deal!" Gray exclaimed.

"I don't care, Deliora is about to be revived I just have to quickly finish you."

"I will never let you revive Deliora!"

Lyon smirked. "You can't stop this, Zalty is already taking care of the Moon Drip ceremony as we speak."

"Don't underestimate Natsu, he will stomp that guy, and with Roxas at his side. There is no way we can lose! Because we are Fairy Tail!"

------------------------

Zalty was in the cavern where the melting figure of Deliora stood. "Only a matter of time now." He said. He looked behind him and he was shocked by what he saw.

"Now to burn you to a crisp!" Natsu yelled as he was using his Fire Dragon's Iron Fist and he missed but as he stepped out of the way he narrowly dodged a Nine-Tailed Fox Spinning Talon from Roxas but he got caught in an upward shockwave as Roxas kicked his feet upwards and Zalty then looked at the two.

"You two are very persistent, but... how did you two find me?"

"We have good noses, and you smell like woman's perfume for some reason." Natsu said.

"I guess that means you're a mage and a cross-dresser." Roxas said.

"Haha. While you are amusing I have to revive Deliora."

"That's not going to happen." Roxas said defiantly.

"Oh, and why is that?"

"Because Gray will beat that Lyon guy, and me and Roxas will wipe that smile off your face!" Zalty smirked after Natsu said that.

"Is that right?" suddenly a purple light fell from the ceiling of the cavern and it was shining on Deliora and both Roxas and Natsu were shocked.

"But how? Lu and the others are taking care of your Moon Drip wizards." Roxas said.

Meanwhile Toby was performing the ritual by himself as he bowed down over and over. "It is weak with only one person doing it but we have already accumulated enough from the moon."

"Not good! We have to stop him." Roxas said as the ice of Deilora was melting they both ran but the rock bridge they were on weakened and it fell to the ground.

"I'm afraid I cannot let you do that. I'm not going to let you run away. Coming after me was a huge mistake!" he said.

Roxas glared at the masked figure. "You're the one who made the mistake here! I'm stopping this cermony!" He then charged for the exit, but narrowly dodged a orb that suddenly came out of nowhere.

"Don't be so sure, If you want to stop Deliora from being revived, then you'll have to get through me!" he made the Orb speed to Roxas again but Natsu punched it with his flaming fist.

"That's fine by me, you perfume wearing bastard!" Natsu blasted a huge stream of flames from his mouth but Zalty jumped. Roxas met him in the air and engulfed his fist in blue flames, before punching Zalty in the chest, sending him flying into the cave rocks.

"Natsu, go up and stop the ceremony. I'll handle who ever this person is."

"Not a chance! Roxas, if we fight together we can defeat him quickly before the ceremony finishes." Natsu said.

"Alright, if you say so." Roxas said. "Let's make this quick before Deliora melts!" Suddenly the entire temple begins to shake.

--------------------------------

Meanwhile Gray and Lyon are still in the middle of their battle and the temple was shaking. "That means the Moon Drip ceremony has started. You are too late Gray! I will soon realize my dream!" he makes many ice eagles come out of the ground and speed towards Grey and he was avoided them. "I have waited ten years for this moment!" he yelled and Gray then made an ice shield and he hid behind it and the Ice eagles were slamming into it. "Ten years of gathering allies who wanted the same goals as I did, after transporting Deliora from Brago, we began trying to wake Deliora for three years!" he exclaimed.

"You waited three years for this. That is just ridiculous!"

"What I'm doing is ridiculous, and yet you have been in some lame guild for the last ten years!" he yelled and he flung another ice eagle at Gray and this broke the shield.

"I only believe in what Ur told me, since she said there were stronger wizards than her so I came across Fairy Tail!"

"I have lived my entire life for this moment!" he exclaimed. "Ice-Make: Wolf" he yelled and his right arm was now in the ice shape of a wolf's head and he was throwing punches towards Gray who was dodging them. "Since Ur is dead now, how else can I surpass her than defeating the monster she couldn't defeat?!" he yelled as Gray could see he had a crazy look in his eyes.

"That is admirable but I think you took a wrong turn along the way." Gray yelled. "You are too blind to surpass Ur, you will never surpass her with this thinking. Not in a hundred years!" Gray summons an ice sword and he slices through Lyon only to see that he turned to greenish blue ice and he shattered, this made him realize it was a clone.

Lyon was sliding backwards and he made a light cyan magic circle appear in his one hand as he was behind Grey. "Ice-Make: Snow Tiger!" the ice tiger was speeding towards Gray.

"Ice-Make: Prison!" Gray yelled and the snow tiger was now trapped in a huge cage.

"Don't you learn? I'll make light of that creation magic!" and Lyon moved his hand to direct the ice tiger to break the cage but it wasn't breaking.

"See Lyon, this is you." He said referring to the tiger. "Imbalanced and impatient like a caged animal who knows little of the world. By using Creation Magic with one hand you aren't able to use it when you require full power from it!" Gray yelled. He then had what looked like a bazooka made from ice. "Ice Cannon!" He yelled and he fired an explosive ice ball from it and it created a huge blue explosion after it hit Lyon and he flew back and was on his back with a hole in his outfit, he was clearly defeated. "That is what Ur taught us." He said. He began to walk but he only later realized the injury to his stomach. "Crap! I should have dressed it earlier!" he said as he made ice cover the wound.

Meanwhile a deafening roar was heard. "There is no way I would forget that sound." He said as he remembered the ciaos that Deliora had caused before. "Deliora!"

Roxas and Natsu were watching this all happen. "Damn were too late!" Roxas exclaimed and Zalty smirked.

Lyon was on the ground where he was defeated and he heard the roar. "There is no mistaking it, there is only one way, to stop him. Iced Shell!" he said to himself.

-------------------------

The roar of Deliora was resonating around the island, the roar was so powerful that it even began blowing back the villagers who were in their storage area that far from the temple, the waves around the island were raging more than ever.

"Haha! It has started!" Zalty yelled out from inside the cavern looking at the half resurrected body of Deliora

Erza, Ariel, Lucy and Happy were now inside the entrance of the temple. "What was that?" Lucy asked

"Maybe it was your stomach, Lucy." Happy said and Ariel chuckled.

"Even when I know you are joking, it still ticks me off." Lucy said to the cat.

"That's has to be Deliora!" Erza said.

"Then we gotta do something fast." Ariel said.

"Look, the light from the Moon Drip!" Happy said as he pointed his paw to the light that was coming from the ceiling and making a light purple magic circle on the floor.

Another roar sounded and it was splitting their ears as the roar was extremely loud.

"Maybe you should eat something, Lucy." Happy said in his casual voice.

"Maybe you should shut your trap!" Lucy shot back.

"The beast may be resurrected but the ceremony isn't over yet." Erza said. "Come!"

"But Deliora is downwards." Ariel said as she pointed her thumb to the ground.

"We are going to stop the ceremony." Erza said. The four moved upwards to stop the ceremony before Deliora could be completely revived.

----------------------

Natsu and Roxas were still facing Zalty. "You are too late, Deliora is revived."

"Natsu, we need to end this now. We are running out of time!" Roxas told the Fire Wizard.

"Alright! Here I come!" Natsu yelled but a flying orb impacts him in the face.

"It's that thing again!" Roxas exclaimed as Zalty brought it towards Roxas but he used is superior agility to dodge the orb attack. Roxas then threw an explosive blue fireball at Zalty but he jumped off the rock he was on and he made the orb speed towards Roxas, but the fox slayer punched it to pieces. However as soon as it was punched, it began coming back together.

"My Arc of Time Magic, I can use it to manipulate an objects time." He said.

"But it doesn't work on humans does it?" Roxas asked. "If it did you would have used it on Natsu and I by now."

"How perceptive of you, but now watch as I speed this object into the future!" he yelled and he flung the orb at them and it was moving at very fast speeds and it attempting to hit both Natsu and Roxas at the same time. Roxas used his agility to avoid them pretty easily despite how fast they were but Natsu wasn't so lucky and he was getting hit every single time.

"Natsu, I'll create a opening for you!" Roxas yelled after he landed on the ground. "Since your time can't manipulate humans, then running circles around you should be easy!" he then began running in at a very fast speed and Zalty's orb couldn't keep up with him and soon Zalty couldn't keep track of him with his eyes. Roxas grabbed the orb and he held it to his chest. "Natsu now!" He yelled and Natsu shot off the ground and he sped over to Zalty.

"Time to turn you to charcoal! Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" he yelled and his fist was on fire and he ran over to punch Zalty but he missed when the short man jumped out of the way. Zalty then saw Roxas still holding the orb, before he made a white magic circle appear in front of him, causing the orb to suddenly hit the fox slayer and making him release it. 

"Foolish boy. I can manipulate all objects." Zalty told him with a smirk.

He then threw the orb to Natsu but it stopped in front of his face as he was going to punch it with a flaming fist. "I can even stop time for objects." The orb then slammed into Natsu's face and he slid back next to Roxas. "I can manipulate the time of anything, but it doesn't seem to work on living creatures. That is why I can't melt the ice since the ice is actually Ur herself."

"You are weird you know that?" Natsu said.

"What?" Zalty said.

"I don't see what you could possibly gain from this."

"Hahaha. Lyon is no match for Deliora. He wouldn't beat him in a hundred years!"

"So, what? You plan on fighting it?" Roxas asked. "I don't even think your Lost Magic will be a match for Deliora."

"You both misunderstand. I plan to make Deliora mine and mine alone! He may be immortal but there is always a way to manipulate it. It would be great to have such a monster at my command, don't you think?"

"No. I think that's completely ridiculous and stupid as hell!" Roxas yelled out.

"Yeah, I thought you were going to say something that would get me fired up and ready to come at you." Natsu said.

"You still don't understand, there will be times when you need power." Zalty said.

"Power is overrated!" Roxas responded.

"And when that time comes I will rely on the power of my friends!" Natsu said.

"Now I will fast forward the time of the ceiling!" Zalty said and a white magic circle appeared in his hands and he then made the ceiling crumble.

"Natsu, I'll give you another opening. You finish this creep!" Roxas said as he jumped up towards the falling pieces of ceiling. Suddenly nine blue flame-like magic tails appeared behind Roxas as he got closer to the rocks. "Nine-Tails Whip Attack!" Roxas yelled and he spun around several times in the air before using his flame-like tails to destroy the pieces of ceiling that were falling to the ground and there was smoke all over and Natsu jumped through the smoke with his fists and feet ignited.

"I can manipulate time too! The Future!" he yelled and he punched Zalty on the left cheek and he flew to a rock and it exploded upon impact. Roxas landed on the ground as his 'tails' then vanished into flickering flames. Natsu landed right beside him, before they fist-bumped.

"Nice shot." Roxas commented.

"Thanks." Natsu grinned.

Gray walked up to them and he saw Deliora. "D-Deliora." He said in fear. "It's you."

--------------------

Meanwhile at the top of the temple where the Moon Drip was being casted. Toby was sliced by Erza and he fell down.

"So we found the guy, so are we done here?" Happy asked.

"He really was doing it all by himself?" Lucy asked

"You're too late!" Toby yelled. The ritual is already finished!" he yelled and Ariel stomped on his stomach, causing him to yelp.

"Seriously, stop talking you voice is annoying!" Ariel said sounding annoyed.

--------------------

"So, Gray did you beat Lyon?" Roxas asked as the three were facing Deilora.

"D-Deliora..." a voice said and they saw Lyon crawling over to the demon.

"Does that answer your question?" Gray rhetorically asked.

"So we meet again Deliora!" Lyon said weakly as he continued crawling. "I will defeat you. This is all so I can surpass Ur."

"You don't look like you could defeat Happy." Natsu commented.

"Yeah, I doubt you could fight Deliora in that state." Roxas added. "Let alone win."

"Shut up, the only thing that matters is surpassing Ur. That is all that matters now." He said as he got up to his feet and he was slowly walking to the demon but Gray chopped Lyon's neck and the older pupil fell to the ground.

"Enough Lyon, I will take care of Deliora." Gray said as he walked to the demon and he stood in the water. He put his arms in an 'X' position with his right hand facing downwards and his left arm facing up.

"The Iced Shell again!?" Lyon yelled as another roar was sounded and it was deafening.

"I have to do this!" Gray yelled back.

"Ha! Even if you do this. I'll just melt the ice again!" Lyon yelled.

Roxas and Natsu then walked in front of Grey and faced Deliora. "Roxas! Natsu! Get out of the way! This is the only way to stop Deliora!"

"We've had this discussion before, Gray. We're not going to let you use that spell." Roxas told him.

"The only reason we told you not to use that spell was because we didn't want you to die. If you want to throw your life away, then do it! We're going to fight this monster." Natsu added.

"You two can't, Iced Shell is the only way we can beat Deliora!" Grey yelled but Roxas and Natsu refused to move and by that time Deliora was entirely free and the demon threw a fist towards the two slayers. "ROXAS! NATSU!" Grey yelled.

Roxas engulfed his fist in blue flames. "Let's go, you over-grown bastard!"

Natsu's fists burst into red hot flames. "I'm not giving up until the end!"

They duo then punched Deliora's fist and with Natsu engulfed in huge fiery flames, Roxas engulfed in a bright blue aura, and Deliora's fist was engulfed in green energy. Suddenly, a crack was seen in Deliora's arm as Roxas and Natsu jumped back and saw the entire demon begin to crack, and it spread to his chest.

"Did we do that...?" Roxas asked.

"Wha... We're stronger than I thought!" Natsu yelled and the demon Deliora crumbled down and it then fell to the ground in pieces.

Lyon got up. "Impossible. Deliora was already dead because, of the ice which had sealed it!"

"So what we saw was its last moments?"

"Ur had already killed Deliora! I was not a match for Ur, I never was." He said.

"She had killed him in the ice a long time ago, your teacher is really something." Natsu commented.

"Like I said before. One hell of a woman." Roxas said, with a toothy grin.

Gray put his hand in the water and he let the water seep through the spaces between his fingers. "I will seal your darkness, Gray." He remembered as Ur told him that during his time with her and at her last moments. Gray began crying and he was covering his face. "Thank you, Ur." He told himself.

Roxas saw him crying before he saw the ice-water that was Ur the entire time spill out into the ocean. "It turns out that she was alive the whole time. Now she flows into the sea where she will watch her pupils for all of eternity." He thought. "As for me, I'll also have my friends watching my back, and I'll watch over theirs."
