Y/N Tennyson had been on the receiving end of glares from dozens, if not hundreds of people over the years, whether they were from Gwen because he did something reckless/stupid, or from one of his enemies because he did something to anger them. As a result, the glare he got from Erza Scarlet barely got more than mild concern from him.

Y/N's Thoughts: Though, the sword does raise that 'mild' to a 'moderate'.

Rebecca: Is that red haired girl a friend of yours? 

Y/N: You could say that. 

Erza: Y/N Tennyson, I do not care what your explanation is.

Y/N: Aww, but it's such a good story!

Lucy and Happy, the former sitting on the beach, tied up by Erza, the latter being held by his tail in her free hand, looked at each other incredulously. The mighty Erza had her sword at his neck, but Y/N was still acting so carefree! Erza, on the other hand, didn't appear fazed in the slightest; instead, she gestured slightly with her sword.

Erza: Come with me; we are going to get the others and go back to the guild.

She then lowered her sword and began walking towards the village. Happy was still in her other hand while Lucy followed, though she had some trouble standing, since her upper body was tied up.

Y/N: Hey, wait a second! Gray's hurt, and Natsu is still-

He didn't get to finish his sentence as Erza whipped her sword around again, the blade pushed against his throat, her left eye blazing with fury while her right was concealed by her long hair. To the surprise of the Fairy Tail members, Y/N didn't flinch.

Y/N: We can't leave. Gray is hurt, and I don't think he can be moved. Natsu is off in the jungle doing who-knows-what, there's an evil wizard who wants to resurrect a super-demon, and the villagers here have been living under a curse for three whole years. I'll go with you to the village to check on Gray, but I'm not leaving this island until these people can go outside without being afraid of turning into monsters, or being killed by wizards.

Slowly, the wrath in Erza's expression faded to a more neutral demeanor, and she lowered the sword again.

Erza: I will wait until Gray is well enough to move, and then I will gather Natsu and we will all leave this place. You are not a member of Fairy Tail, and thus I cannot order you to leave. However, it is dark out; for your own safety, I suggest that we do not go after Natsu until daybreak.

Erza hated it when someone defied her, but she knew that she didn't really have any authority over Y/N, so the best she could do was try to keep him in one place, at least until she could come up with another way to convince him to leave the island.

Y/N didn't want to admit it, but Erza was right; Natsu had told him that he had a plan, but he didn't know what the Dragon Slayer was going to do, nor where he was going and Y/N knew that he wouldn't be able to help anyone by fumbling around in the dark.

Y/N: Fine, I'll wait until then.

Village, Storage Area

The next day, when Gray woke up, he noticed two things; first, that he was in a tent, but otherwise ignorant of his surroundings. Second, the pain in his body had lessened greatly. With some effort, he stood up, noticing that someone had bandaged his torso, shoulders and head.

Stepping out of the tent, Gray shielded his eyes against the afternoon sun. Around him was a mass of tents, similar to the village, but it was clearly located somewhere else. 

??? Oh, thank goodness. 

Gray turned and saw Rebecca and Robot Happy walking towards him. 

Gray: Hey, you're that girl with the Happy look alike. Rebecca, right? 

Rebecca: Yep, that's me. 

Robot Happy: We're glad you're awake. 

Gray: What is this place?

Rebecca: This is a storage area that's not too far from the village. Everything was destroyed in the attack last night, so the villagers decided to come here for shelter.

Gray: (horrified) The whole village? That's horrible. 

Then he remembered Lyon ordering his lackeys to raze the village and kill everyone in it.

Gray's Thoughts: I can't believe it. They actually went and did it...

Robot Happy: You know, it's a miracle that Shiki, Natsu, Lucy and Y/N were here; because of them, everyone in the village survived the attack.

Gray: It's a relief that no one died. Are the others still here?

Rebecca: Well, Lucy is with the other Happy, but after the fight, Natsu and Shiki went to the temple, and Y/N went after him this morning. They wanted you to meet them over in that tent.

Robot Happy: Also, there is someone with them, and she is not happy.

Gray made his way into the tent where he saw Lucy and Happy tied up and an angry Erza sitting infront of him.

Erza: You made me wait, not smart.

Gray: ERZA!!! Um, why are Lucy and Happy tied up? And why isn't Y/N here? 

Erza: Lucy informed me of the situation, and Y/N is not a member of the guild, thus I had no control over him. He went off to find Natsu.

If Gray wasn't worried that Erza might kill him, he might have noticed that Erza's expression darkened slightly when she mentioned Y/N.

Erza: I thought you were sent here to stop these fools. (stands up) Needless to say, I'm disappointed.

Lucy: Last time I saw him, he was fighting some of the Cold Emperor's lackeys. When we all went there he was nowhere to be found. Then Erza told us to take her to you and Happy flew up and found the village.

Erza: (walks forward) Alright, now that you're awake, we're going to search for Natsu and Y/N, and then we're going back to the guild.

Gray: But we can't leave the island just yet! If Lucy filled you in then you know exactly what these villagers are going through right now! 

Erza: (glances at Gray) And what would be your point? 

Gray was shocked by her words. 

Erza: I came here solely of taking you all back and to apprehend these fools for breaking the rules of the guild. I'm not interested in anything other than that.

Gray: Rules? Have you even seen what's happened to the people on this island?!

Erza: I have.

Gray: And you're still just gonna turn your back on them?!

Erza: Their request is posted on the boards of every guild hall. The village would be better served by wizards who are cleared for S-Class, you're not qualified.

Gray: How can you be so heartless?!

Erza: (glares at him) What did you say?

As cold as Erza acted, she was far from heartless; she did everything in her power to make sure that innocents were spared from pain and suffering.

However, the safety of her guild, her family, would always take precedence over the safety of strangers. If she had to live with guilt over that later, she would, but the guilt would be tempered by the knowledge that those she cared for were safe.

Happy: That's no way to speak to The Great Erza!

Lucy: You suck up.

Erza drew her sword through her magic circle.

Erza: Have you chosen to defy the guild's rules as well?

She then pointed her sword at Gray's throat.

Erza: You will face the same punishment.

Gray flinched, but then steadied himself. To everyone's shock, he grabbed the blade and placed the tip over his chest, right above his blue guild mark. 

Gray: Do what you must. For me, there's no other choice to be made. I can't walk away from what I know is right.

Erza: (small gasp)

For what seemed like an eternity, neither Gray nor Erza broke eye contact. Finally, Erza lowered the sword, and Gray walked to the tent-flap.

Gray: I'm seeing this through to the end...and you can't stop me.

After he was gone, Erza trembled in anger, before leveling a glare at the bound Happy and Lucy, causing them to panic. They thought that Erza would take her rage out on them.

Lucy: Please don't get mad at us, we don't have control over any of them!

Happy: Gray's not feeling too well because he lost a fight to his old friend!

All the sudden, Erza cuts off Lucy and Happy's roses, freeing them.

Erza: These events are intolerable. We'll deal with the immediate problems for now.

Happy/Lucy: (cheered) Thank you!

Erza: This doesn't change anything. You're still going to face punishment.

Happy/Lucy: (less excited) Yes ma'am.

(Timeskip)

Temple

Meanwhile, Natsu groaned while rubbing his eyes, as he and Shiki finally made it to the temple.

Shiki: Finally awake huh? 

Natsu: Oh man, I finally come up with the perfect plan. And then I go and oversleep.

???: At least you got here at all!

A voice called out from behind him, causing the Dragon Slayer and Shiki to spin around. Y/N was leaning against a tree, an amused smile on his face.

Shiki: Y/N? How did you know we'd be here?

Y/N: It was kind of obvious. Natsu said that he has a plan to stop the demon from coming back, and Deliora is under the temple. You'd have to come here to do... whatever it is that you're planning. I'm just surprised that you two got lost! (chuckles) 

Shiki: Natsu's the one who got us lost!

Natsu: Hey, it's not my fault. I'm used to searching for stuff from the air with Happy!

Y/N: It doesn't matter anyway. We're here, so let's wrap this up before Erza gets her hands on you.

Natsu: (scared) Erza's here?!

Y/N: (smirk) Yeah, but she doesn't really have any control over me. So she couldn't stop me from helping you.

Natsu: (grins) Great! (held up his hands) Let's go! I'm all fired up!

Shiki: (high-fives one hand) Yeah!

Y/N: (Hi-fives the other) It's Hero Time!

(with Erza's Team) 

Rebecca, Robot Happy, Erza, Lucy, and Happy and everyone in the tent caught up to Gray, and they were all currently running towards the temple. On the way, Gray explained what his childhood friend, Lyon Vastia was planning on Galuna Island.

Rebecca: Wait, so he wants to unleash a demon that your master couldn't defeat?

Gray: Yeah...

Gray stopped and place his hand on a tree.

Gray: He felt that the responsibility of defeating the demon fell on to his hands because it was something that our master couldn't do. But there is something that I never got to tell him, something that I've kept a secret for the past years. Even though she isn't with us, Master Ur is still alive.

Inside of the temple, Lyon was now staring at his only remaining subordinate.

Lyon: (arms crossed) How pathetic. You're the only one still left standing, Toby.

The dog-man in question shifted nervously, sweat growing on his brow. Lyon sat down on a throne made of stone.

Lyon: Those Fairy Tail Wizards, and the Take-Over wizard who was with them... they're quite impressive, and clever if they were able to trick you into paralyzing yourself. 

Toby: Hey can we keep the whole "shocking myself" thing a secret?

???: This unfortunate turn of events could put the resurrection of Deliora in jeopardy.

Toby jumped at the sudden appearance of a small, hunched man who wore red clothes, a gray cloak and a red, horned mask that covered the upper half of his face. His mouth, the only visible part of his face, showed a wide grin.

Lyon hid his surprise well, not even batting an eye.

Lyon: Zalty, you're as stealthy as ever. 

Zalty: If all goes as planned, the demon should awaken at some point tonight, but we have to keep an eye on those wizards. If they were to interrupt the Moon Drip ceremony, then Deliora would forever remain entombed in ice. Salamander and Titania are very powerful, as is that Take-Over wizard, and there is a good chance that they could foil our plans.

Lyon: As always, you seem remarkably well informed. No mind, I can't say I'm worried. Those fools may be strong, but they're no match for me.

Zalty: I was hoping you'd say that. So, it's very reassuring to hear. But still, allow me the honor of joining you in battle for old times sake.

Toby: Hold up? I didn't know you were a wizard, too?!

Zalty: Yes, it's been a while since I used it, but I've dabbled in a particular form of Lost Magic.

Lyon considered it for a moment. Zalty hadn't done anything to betray his cause. 

Lyon: Sure. We could use another wizard.

Zalty opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted when the temple suddenly began to shake!

Toby: It's an earthquake!

Lyon: I don't think so.

The shakes were coming in little bursts, not a long quake, and it seemed to be happening on only one side of the temple. Toby, however, hadn't figured it out yet.

Toby: It's all coming down!

Finally, the tower began to tilt to one side after the final rumble, almost making Lyon, Zalty, and Toby fall. Just then, a blast of fire ripped it's way through the floor.

Lyon: What is the meaning of this?!

Zalty looked into the hole in the floor and grinned.

Zalty: I should have known that Salamander would make the first move. Though I would have thought he'd come alone; it seems he brought the Take-Over wizard and another unwanted guest with him.

(with Rebecca) 

Natsu, Y/N, and Shiki were nowhere to be found, and the rest of Team Natsu, Rebecca, and Robot Happy were approaching the ruins and found that it was tilted slightly.

Lucy: Uh, guys? Is it just me, or does the temple look a little...crooked right now?

Happy: What happened to it?

Rebecca: No, I see it too, if anything it's probably-

Gray: I'm guessing Natsu.

Erza: Me too. 

Gray: I don't know how he did it, but he's the only one that would do something this crazy. This is a pretty great idea if he did it on purpose. With the temple tilted like that the Moon Drip can't be used because the moonlight can't hit Deliora. 

Rebecca: So Natsu's destruction abilities actually helped us out in the long run?

Robot Happy: M-my necks stuck!

Happy: M-mine too! We were looking at the temple sideways for too long!

Their necks suddenly snapped to the other side, causing Lucy and Rebecca to get scared. All the sudden, Erza sensed danger and hit Lucy and Happy away. Bladed weapons were shot out and they see it's the cultists.

Priest 1: We've got you now, Fairy Tail! 

Priest 2: We won't allow you to interfere!

Rebecca: Who're these guys?

Lucy: They're with Lyon!

Happy: Aye!

Erza: (summons sword) I'll take care of these. Head to the temple and stop the enemy.

Gray: Are you sure about this Erza?

Rebecca: She won't be alone. Happy!

Robot Happy: Right, let's do this!

As Robot Happy gets ready to fight, he reveals his robot body and starts to transform.When Happy Robot finishes transforming he turns into a pair of guns that are loaded in with Ether.

After Robot Happy transforms everyone is both shocked and surprised that Robot Happy can do that.

Lucy: WHAT?!?!?! 

Happy: He's a robot?! 

Gray: And he can transform into a pair of guns?! 

Erza: Amazing...

Rebecca: (grabs the blasters) Go on ahead Gray. I'll be helping Erza with this. 

Priest 3: Who do you think you- (gets shot on the head) Agh!

Rebecca: Take... TTHHHIIIIIISSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!

Rebecca unleashes a barrage of Ether bullets, hitting a bunch of prints at the head. 

Lucy: (nearly got shot, scream) Hey, watch it!

Rebecca: Oops! Sorry. 

Lucy: (readies whip) We'll fight with her. You just go and do what you've gotta do.

Happy: Aye

Erza: Go settle things with Lyon.

Gray: (nods in agreement) Thanks, you guys.

Gray ran for the temple, leaving everyone else to fight the oncoming priests.

(with Y/N) 

Below them, several levels of the temple down stood Natsu and Shiki. Beside Natsu was an armadillo humanoid with a bulky, yellow-armored body that had grey bolts with black markings on its shoulders. It had jackhammer parts on its elbows, wrists and hands, and had a grey tail. Its head was similar to a Greek Corinthian helmet with two, long grey ears sticking out. The Omnitrix dial was positioned in the center of its chest.

Armodrillo: Told you Armodrillo's power would work.

Natsu: Yeah, yeah, don't go rubbing it in. I'm just glad I had help with this. Usually, I break stuff on accident. I'm not used to destroying stuff on purpose.

Lyon: What are you three doing here?!

Shiki: We're knocking this place over.

Armodrillo: Yeah. That way, you won't be able to shine moonlight on the demon!

Before they had begun demolishing the temple, Natsu had explained to Y/N and Shiki that magic, for the most part, followed the path set by the direction of a magic circle. If the circle from the Moon Drip was tilted, the light wouldn't be able to go straight down onto Deliora; if the temple was shifted far enough, it wouldn't even touch it.

Lyon: Insolent fools! Who do you think you are?! 

Armodrillo: I already told you. I'm a superhero! 

Lyon: You dare challenge me!

Natsu decided not to engage in any sort of banter; instead, fire shot out of the bottom of his feet, propelling him upwards like a rocket.

Armodrillo: Didn't know he could do that. 

Shiki: Let's help him out! 

Shiki starts float up into the air as Armodrillo slapped the Omnitrix dial, engulfing his body in an emerald flash.

When the green light died away, standing in Ben's place was a creature that resembled the cross between a Pterodactyl and a glider. It had a yellow beak-like mouth, reddish-orange skin, and yellow wings that were small and similar to a glider that were connected to a jetpack structure on its back. It wore black and green clothing on its shoulders and waist, and green braces around its wrist and ankles. The Omnitrix dial was positioned on its left shoulder.

Astrodactyl: Astrodactyl! (squawks) 

He then activated his jetpack and flew after his friend.

Lyon: (shocked) What kind of Take-Over is that?!

By then, Natsu had wrapped his own body in flames and collided with Lyon head-first.

Natsu: Fire Dragon Sword Horn!

The impact didn't even slow Natsu down; he and Lyon were nearly at the ceiling when the ice wizard's body began to crack like glass and then shattered.

Astrodactyl: (shocked) Dude! Did you just kill him?!

???: No, he didn't.

They turned and saw Lyon behind them. 

Lyon: He hit my Ice Fake.

Astrodactyl quickly slapped the Omnitrix dial again. When the emerald flash disappeared, in Astrodactyl's place was...

NRG: NRG!

Lyon grimaced, remembering what this form had done to his ice the last time; instead, he focused on Natsu and Shiki, who was just starting to fall.

Lyon: (held out his hands) Ice Make: Eagle!

The flock of Ice Eagles darted towards the falling Dragon Slayer and Ether Gear user.

Lyon: You cannot dodge in mid-air!

Shiki: Don't think we'll give up!

Shiki floats and doges the ice eagles in mid air while Natsu only angled his face upwards and shot a breath of fire, propelling him into NRG's arms and out of danger.

NRG: Smart move. (putting Natsu down) Using your breath as a thruster; very nice.

Natsu: Thanks. Look out!

Another flock of Ice Eagles was headed right at them, but NRG only placed himself between Natsu and the approaching magic. The ice might have been strong, but it still shattered against NRG's armor. In return, NRG shot a blast of radiation from the grille on his helmet, causing all three enemy wizards to duck.

Shiki: (lands next to NRG) Wow! That's so power and thick armor!

When NRG stopped his attack, Natsu hopped on top of his head in a hand-stand, and then began to spin his legs around, shooting jets of fire from both feet. Lyon managed to dodge again, but in doing so, he ended up in midair, allowing both Natsu and NRG to send their respective ranged attacks at the Cold Emperor. 

Just before the attacks hit, Zalty held out a hand, and the floor beneath the three suddenly grew brittle and turned to dust, sending the three plummeting to the lower levels of the temple.

Shiki: What the heck just happened?!

Natsu: Was that a booby trap?

NRG: No, it was more like the floor we stood on crumbled that easily.

Zalty: Very fortunate, Cold Emperor. Luck is on your side.

Toby: Can we keep the whole "Toby got charred" thing a secret, too?

Lyon: What did you do?

Zalty: What ever do you mean?

Lyon: Don't play dumb with me. Your magic had to have caused that hole in the floor.

Zalty: Heh, don't you ever have the watchful eye. Please allow me to explain my actions, sir. You're the only one strong enough to defeat Deliora, so it's imperative that you remain safe until its resurrection.

The air around Lyon became dense with a cold fog.

Lyon: Are you suggesting that I would fall victim to such paltry magic?

With a twitch of his finger, the floor, walls and ceiling of the room they were in became coated in a thick layer of ice. The only parts that didn't freeze over were the parts of the floor that the three stood on, and the hole that Shiki, Natsu and NRG had fallen through. Shiki,  NRG and Natsu climbed back up. 

Lyon: Leave me, I can take care of this myself. Once I finally defeat the demon, everyone will worship my name, Cold Emperor Lyon. I've worked too hard to let brats like them tarnish it.

Zalty: As you wish.

NRG: A bit full of himself, huh?

Natsu: Yeah. Why do you want to fight Deliora? The thing looks half dead already! You're going to all of the trouble to melt that ice just so you can fight it?!

Shiki: You wish to revive an ancient demon not even your mentor could defeat, all so you can face it yourself?

NRG: When you put it like that, it does sound stupid.

Lyon: I must rise above Ur's legacy. I will not rest until I've fulfilled my dream!

Lyon then launched ice eagles at them, making Natsu and Shiki dodge while NRG endured.

Natsu: Why do this far? Can't you just challenge Ur and be done with it?!

Lyon: Well, I would if I could! But Ur has been dead for years!

Shiki: She's what? 

Natsu remembered Gray telling him that Ur had sacrificed everything fighting Deliora.

Natsu: I didn't realize that she ended up dying when she sealed it.

Lyon: Yes, but she'd still be alive if it wasn't for Gray.

Distracted by the revelation, Natsu didn't notice the Ice Eagle until it was inches from his face; it was only stopped when NRG's fist knocked it off-course.

NRG: Hey man. I get that you're angry, but what you're doing is hurting innocent people. I never knew Ur, but if she was willing to sacrifice her life to stop Deliora, I'm pretty sure she'd want you to stop what you're doing.

Lyon: How dare you!

Lyon sent a wave of ice at NRG, who stopped it with a concentrated beam of radiation. 

Lyon: Ice-Make Ape!

Lyon made a large gorilla made of ice appeared and attacked, but Shiki smashed it with his gravity fist. 

Despite being outnumbered, as well as facing an elemental disadvantage, Lyon was doing an admirable job of fending off his opponents, matching them move-for-move. Still, all four fighters knew that sooner or later, Lyon would either make a mistake or simply run out of energy, while Shiki, Natsu and NRG seemed to have plenty of energy to spare.

NRG: Do yourself, and us, a favor and just give up!

Shiki: Your master wouldn't want this for you, so just surrender already!

Lyon: I'll never give you that satisfaction!

NRG: You're acting no better than the demon she sacrificed himself to save you from!

Natsu: Okay, now you're just askin' for me to knock some sense into ya!

Natsu: Oh, (fist engulfed in flames) you're asking for it!

Just as they were about to clash again, the wall next to them began to crack, until it shattered, revealing Gray!

NRG: Good to see you on your feet, Gray. Where are Lucy, Rebecca, and Erza?

Gray: They're fighting Lyon's robed goons. They should cause much trouble. Now, the three of you back off. It's time for me and Lyon to settle this, once and for all.

Natsu: No way, man! You already lost to him once!

Gray: And it's not gonna happen again. I'm ready to end this now.

Lyon: You seen awfully confident.

Gray: You were right, Lyon. I'm the one who's to blame for our master's death. 

Lyon's eyes narrowed.

Great: But you're no better. You've threatened my comrades, brought harm to the villagers, and now you're trying to destroy what Ur gave her life to create. It's time we accept our punishment, together.

Gray widened his stance and began to stretch out his arms, and crossed them at the wrists. While NRG, Shiki, and Natsu were confused, Lyon looked absolutely terrified.

Lyon: That stance... not the Iced Shell!

Shiki: Iced Shell? 

Both NRG and Natsu were shocked; they knew that Ur had used the technique Iced Shell to seal Deliora away. It was also what killed her. Was Gray planning to make the same sacrifice?

Lyon: Are you insane?! You wouldn't dare!

Gray: If you want to live, then change the villagers back to their human forms. And then, leave this island and ever return. If you'll agree to that I'll stop; otherwise, this is the end.

Lyon: (confident smirk) Is that so? Well I don't believe a word of it. You're bluffing.

In response, a torrent of ice began to spread from the magic circle.

Gray: (deadly-serious tone) No, I'm not...

Lyon: You'll die!

Lyon tried to use his own magic to block the attack, but it was blown away by the sheer power of Gray's spell.

Natsu: Don't do it!

He would have been knocked back by Gray's magic as well, but NRG grabbed his arm, his own body too heavy to be thrown back.

NRG: Come on, man! This isn't how you should stop him!

Shiki: Gray, stop!

Gray: For all these years, I lied to myself, I didn't want to admit that Ur died because of me, but she did, and it's time I took responsibility. So I will, here and now. I'm not afraid to die, if that's what it takes!

Lyon: Stop this now!

Gray: What's it gonna be, Lyon?! Are we gonna die, or are we gonna live?! It's up to you!

Lyon: You wouldn't! You're not brave enough to give your life! You're nothing but a coward!

Gray: Just watch me. (thoughts) Natsu, Y/N, Erza, all my friends in Fairy Tail, the rest is up to you. I don't want to leave you...but my time is up. Iced She-

Gray's spell was interrupted when NRG's fist came down on his head with a loud clang. Gray fell to his knees, stunned, giving Shiki enough time to force his arms behind his back.

NRG: What the hell do you think you're trying to pull?!

Gray: What about you two?! When I got here, the first thing I said was to get back! 

Natsu: And I said no way!

Shiki: Sorry, but we can't let you do this!

Gray: I've got a score to settle with this guy!

NRG: How is killing yourself "settling a score"?! If anything, dying and leaving us to clean up the mess just makes you a coward! Do you think Ur would want you to do something like that, Gray?!

Gray flinched, and then slumped. He hadn't consciously thought about it, but perhaps he really had been using the Iced Shell as an excuse to escape the guilt. While he felt terrible about what happened to Ur, the thought of leaving his friends to pick up the pieces after he was gone made him feel even worse. Before Gray could apologize, the room began to shake.

Natsu: Oh, great. What now?!

The room, as well as the rest of the temple, had been resting at an angle; however, it was now falling back to its original position. In a few moments, it was as if the damage that Natsu and Ben had inflicted had never happened.

Shiki let go of Gray and began stomping the ground in frustration while NRG was just confused. What the heck had happened?

Natsu: What the heck just happened?!

Shiki: The temple's back to straight!

Gray: This is bad, now the moon's gonna shine on Deliora!

NRG: How did this happen?

Zalty: Pardon the interruption.

 He had slipped out during the fight between Lyon, Shiki, Natsu and NRG.

Lyon: I should've known. I take it you did this?

Zalty: Indeed I did, sir. The moon will be out soon, so I thought I'd take the liberty of straightening the temple for you.

Gray: That weirdo fixed it all by himself?

Natsu: And after we went through all that trouble to mess it up, too. Hey, so what'd you do to fix it, huh?

Zalty looked at Natsu in surprise as if noticing him for the first time, and then laughed maniacally.

Natsu: TELL ME HOW YOU DID IT, YOU JERK!!!

Zalty: Well, if everything else is in order, I suppose I should commence the Moon Drip Ceremony.

Zalty started running down the corridor.

Natsu: Hey! Would you quit ignoring me you demon head freak!

NRG: Oh, he is so asking for it

He slapped the Omnitrix dial, and when the green flash faded, he was replaced by a tall, humanoid figure that seemed to be made of magma. His head was surrounded by fire, and his hands were oversized; the Omnitrix dial was on his chest.

Heastblast: Heatblast!

Shiki: Now Y/N's an alien made of fire! 

Before Natsu left the room, he spun around and pointed at Gray.

Natsu: I'm gonna pound him a million...no, a billion times! I'll let you handle that ice guy!

Gray, Shiki, and Heatblast were both surprised. After Gray had almost killed himself, Natsu was suddenly trusting him to beat Lyon? Natsu turned around, his back to Gray. 

Natsu: It'll look bad if you lose again.

Natsu: And not just for you...

Gray: I know what you mean...

Natsu/Gray: But for all of Fairy Tail!

Heastblast's Thoughts: Wow, they take their pride pretty seriously.

Natsu took off after Zalty. Heatblast gave Gray a thumbs-up, and then went after the Dragon Slayer with Shiki.

Lyon: My, my, such a boisterous group you are...

Gray: Tell me something, a second ago, when I was gonna freeze us both for good, you were counting on Y/N, Shiki, or Natsu to stop me before I could finish, right?

Lyon: No. The opposite, in fact. I never thought anyone would be foolish enough to get near a spell like that.

Gray: So you were just gonna stand there and take the hit?

Lyon: Exactly, because someone would come to rescue me. You on the other hand, would be finished for good.

Gray: I should've known...

Lyon: Certainly, to would be inconvenient to be sealed in ice, but my allies are as devoted to my cause as I am, and as long as we're on this island, they can use Moon Drip to melt the ice whenever they saw fit.

Gray: I didn't think of that. Guess the Iced Shell is completely useless here... (thoughts) And my sacrifice would've been for nothing... Thanks, Y/N.

Lyon: Even so, you still want to fight? After what happened last time?

Gray didn't reply.

Lyon: Don't fool yourself, you could never-

Gray: That's enough.

Lyon: What?

Gray: Just forget about Deliora.

Lyon: What kind of nonsense is this? Your threats don't work, so you've turned to begging? Does your guild have a dentist that removes your fangs, or are you just a coward?

Gray: Lyon, there's something I have you tell you.

Lyon: What is it?

Gray: Ur...is still alive.  

Chapter 9 ended. 

What do you guys think of this chapter? We've about to reach the final stage. @EricHuber98 has given me an idea of how Ur will be revived. 

He believes when Deliora breaks out of Iced Shell, Y/N tries to turn into Four Arms or Humungousaur, but he gets Clockwork instead and uses his Chronokinesis powers to rewind Ur back to normal, or use the Omnitrix genetic fixer mode. 

But if you guys have other ideas for the next chapter, let me know at the comments below, peace out and enjoy!
