"We finished it!!!!!!"

"Aye sir!"

After Deliora's corpse was freed and broken apart, Natsu and Stark regrouped with the rest of their Fairy Tail guild mates while bringing Lyon with them, as he was in no condition to fight or run away due to his loss to Gray. As they were outside of the ruins, Natsu and Happy were celebrating while Gray was resting against a nearby rock. As for Lucy, a sigh of relief escaped from Fairy Tail's newest member.

"I was worried about what was going to happen. Ur sure was an amazing wizard to taken down that thing."

"Wohoooooo, we finished an S-Class quest, Lucy!"

"Does that mean we can go to the second floor?"

"Like hell you can, you idiots!"

As Stark said this, he slammed his left fist against the wall of the ruins as it broke apart due to him augmenting his strength with his reinforcement magic. Seeing as he got their attention, the group slowly began to remember something they forgot. As Natsu, Lucy, and Gray all slowly turned their heads, they saw Erza glaring daggers at them as they realized something.

"Oh crap, we're still getting punished!!!!"

"Stark is right, you all. The original demands of the quest wasn't to deal with Deliora, so you all haven't finished the S-Class Quest yet."

"That's why you all can't celebrate yet. But this quest is a fishy one when you think about it. The villagers say that they turn into demons at night due to being cursed by the purple moonlight. However, we have living proof that their claim is flawed. Isn't that right, Lyon?"

The moment Stark mentioned his name, everyone turned their attention towards the defeated ice mage. Natsu, Lucy, and Gray were confused as to what Stark was getting at. Seeing this, Lyon let a sigh escape from his lips. It's not like he could fight back in his condition, plus with Deliora already dead, there wasn't much else for him to do.

"This curse that the villagers spoke of, I have no idea how to undo it. But i'll agree with Jabberwock in the fact that their reasoning is flawed. First, my people and I knew of their existence when we first came to Galuna Island three years ago. We didn't interfere with them until now, they never visited us either."

"And that's where the flaw makes itself known. Lyon and his people have been exposed to the same moonlight for three years and they're perfectly fine. If what the villagers said was true, Lyon and the others shouldn't be as human as they appear now. I say we head back to the village and sort this out."

As everyone agreed to his suggestion, the members of Fairy Tail began to head back to the village. As they walked, Gray stayed behind for a few seconds as he looked at Lyon. Despite their differences, they were still Ur's pupils. Even if she is gone now, the least they could do is look out for each other a little. Since that would be what their teacher would want.

~A few minutes later~
As the team was walking back to the storage area, they were met with an unusual silence. The villagers were nowhere to be seen. Since the village was gone, they relocated here in the meantime. That's why it made no sense for all of them to just suddenly disappear. Just when the group got worried, one of the villagers was seen running towards them.

"Everyone, you're here. Please hurry back to the village!"

As the villager ran off, the group soon began to follow him. While dashing through the island, Stark's eyes began to widen in shock. He could sense them, the ki of all of the villagers were gathered straight ahead. While he was glad they were safe, what surprised Stark was the fact the village that was destroyed just yesterday was restored to its former glory. It was as if it was never destroyed in the first place.

"Did that masked freak do this? Oh well, that saves us money since we don't have to pay for collateral damage."

As he nods his head in satisfaction, Stark noticed the village chief sitting in front of a grave. While Lucy was talking to the chief, Stark overheard him asking when the moon will be destroyed. Looking over at Erza, the young man was met with a nod from his scarlet-haired friend. Seeing this, the dark magic user smiled as he walked up to the chief.

"No need to worry, Chief. You're actually about to witness the moon's destruction tonight."

"It's as my comrade says, destroying the moon is an easy matter. I have something I want to clarify though, so please gather everyone."

Hearing Erza's words, the chief of the village began to gather all of the residents to the center. As they all gathered around, Stark and Erza looked around to see if everyone was accounted for. After getting a thumbs up from Lucy and Gray, they soon turned their gaze to Natsu and Happy. As the dragon slayer and his best friend nodded their heads, Stark and Erza took it as a sign to start as the young woman spoke to the chief.

"Let's review. You all appeared in these forms after the moon turned purple, correct?"

"To be precise, it's only when the moon comes out when we look like this."

"Considering what we've heard, this has been happening for the past 3 years, yes?"

While the scarlet-haired woman was speaking, she began to start walking as she was sharing her thoughts. As this happened, Stark looked at the ground and wondered why there was a pile of straw on the ground. Though he shook his head as he continued to listen to the young woman, choosing to let that mystery be his future self's problem.

"Now, you all agree this happened for three years. The thing is, the Moon Drip has occured every night during those three years. So you should've been able to see the ray of light every nigh-.....KYA!"

Natsu, Gray, and Stark were all staring in awe with what happened. Not only did Erza fall into a pitfall, but she even screamed in a cute way that the three of them didn't think was possible. However, the young woman simply climbed out of the pit as if nothing happened as she resumed her train of thought.

"I don't understand why you all didn't investigate."

"W..we don't truly understand ourselves. We tried to investigate those ruins many times. However, everytime we walked towards those ruins, we wound up back at the village gate."

The moment the chief of the village said this, Erza soon turned her gaze to Stark. Noticing this, he simply nodded his head as he confirmed that they were telling the truth due to reading his ki. As the young man walked towards his friend, he finally spoke up.

"We thought this was the case. Erza, do you want me to take care of it. Considering how my magic works, it should get the job done rather easily."

"I appreciate the offer, Stark, but the idiots who took this quest have a right to see it through to the end. Not to mention, this is the villagers first time meeting you. If they get too exposed to your magic power, they may be too terrified to come to the guild for help again."

"Wow, you really just don't want me to steal your thunder, do you? Okay, I don't mind playing the supporting role. Since you're wearing that armor, I have an idea on what you're planning. Natsu, get ready, we're about to finish this job."

"Do you mean-"

"That's right. You, Erza, and I are gonna destroy the moon!"

"Heck yeah! I'm all fired up!"

Happy, Lucy, and Gray could all only look at the three with looks of utter disbelief. They were actually serious about trying to destroy the moon. As Natsu, Erza, and Stark made their way to the watchtower, Lucy had one thought going through her mind.

"The three of them on the same wavelength is a terrifying thing."
