The Drakes of Heaven and Earth: #3E

Before are hero came to the aid of Lucy. The young Celestial wizard was being pursued by Sherry Blendy, atop her Rock Doll, unbeknownst to her that she's heading straight for a cliff.

Lucy Heartfilia:[Screaming in terror] Aaaaaah! Natsu! Gray!...Happy!?! Anyone!!! HE-E-ELP!!!

Sherry Blendy:[Sinister laugh] How sad...Begging for help like a helpless damsel in distress! Poor thing just needs some love💘

LH:[Offended] HEY! I'M NOT A HELPLESS DAMSEL! I'M A FAIRY TAIL WIZARD! WOAH![Lucy yelps, narrowly dodging a smash-attack from the giant doll.] I gotta get away from this psycho bimbo...*Gasp*[Lucy realizes she just ran to the edge of a cliff, cornering herself to the homicidal wizard and her Rock Doll.] Anyone!?! Please! I need Heelp!!!

SB:Awww![Looks to see something moving in the sky, mistaking it for a shooting star, when in reality, it was a "Flying" Dragon Slayer.] Hey Celestial wizard, look! A shooting star! Maybe you can wish for help with it![Laughing at her own joke.]

LH:[Desperate] Oh, shooting star! Please bring me HEEELP!!! Huh? That doesn't look like a shooting star...

SB: Hmmm...you're right...It looks more like a p---*CRASH!*

[While the two wizards were pondering as to what was the U.F.O, Clay came crashing through Sherry's Rock Doll, pulverizing it with the Earth Dragon Gauntlet on his left arm. Letting it crumble after completing it's purpose, landing a few yards away.]

SB:[Comically suspended in air, where the top of the Doll's head was.] Huh!?![Looking down to see a void.] Aaaah! *Thud!*[Falling on her butt on the ground below.]
[Groaning] Uuugh...What was that?

Clayton Grimm: KOBE!...Looks like I made it here just in time! Alright sweet thing! Surrender and I won't have to hurt you anymore!

LH: Whoever you are...Thank you! This crazy witch is trying to kill me!

CG: Well, we can't have that now, can we?

SH:[Grabbing Lucy by the neck of her top.] Stay back, or I throw this girl over the cliff to her death!*Bam!*

[Lucy hit Sherry in the jaw with a jab.]

LH:[Struggling with Sherry, trying to use her whip to bind her] Not if I throw you first!

[The two of them fight each other in a petty cat-fight like manner, creeping towards the cliff's edge. Clay realizing with his 6th sense, that the cliff is in danger of collapsing.]

CG:[Warning them] Hey! Indiana Jones! Can you two bimbos quit fighting so damn close the the cliff!

LH&SB: SHUT UP BOZO!

CG: I'm serious! That cliff is way too un-*Crack!*-stable...

LH&SB: Huh![Just realizing Clay's warning too little, too late, the ground the two young wizards stood on soon began to separate from the rest of the solid ground, resulting in their ground to slide down in a fast rock slide.]
[In terror, holding each other out of fear.] A-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-ah!!!

CG:*Sigh* Guess I gotta save some ladies in distress...Hang on![ Sprinting towards the cliff's edge, then doing a backflip at the edge to run down the cliff face using Earth Dragon: Seismal Shoes(The feet parallel to Tectonic Fists) to run down the side of the cliff.]

[As Clay catches up to the rockslide.]

CG: Al-most-[Grabbing both girls in either arm.]Gotcha![Clay then moved the inside of his feet parallel to the ground below, attempting to slow them all down.]

LH&SB:WE'RE FALLING TOO FAST!

CG:[Annoyed] I can see that! Earth Dragon: Roar!(The most versatile spell that Clay can use. He can do things from, in this case, terraform the earth it hits, even at the subatomic level, bombard foes in earth from fine dust, to large, deadly boulders, trap hostiles, come in the form of any super-heated medium via the use of geothermal energy, or just volcanic hazards in general, clean the air using some photosynthesis from his skin, but mostly chemosynthesis from within his body, create mass amounts of foliage, shoot a meteor shower, anything Earth related you can think of , he can for the most part do it.)[As his roar hit the ground below, it softened it to the point where it could be used as a landing mat. Once the ground below was safe, Clay spun around, making his back parallel to the ground, kicking off the cliff side.]

[After landing safely, Clay released the two girls, disoriented, but greatful to be alive.]

LH:[Disoriented] Uuugh...I don't know what you did, but you saved us...

SB:[Disoriented] Uuugh...Who's side are you on anyway...

CG:[Jumping up to his feet] Well...Considering I meant to crash through your Doll, you tell me!

LH:[Relieved, but still disoriented.] Hurraaay...

SB:[Realizing Clay's her foe as well, yet slightly dizzy.] In that case...I'll take you both out...once the ground stops moving...Eh?...where'd you get that va---*Shatter*---ase...[Sherry fell back down to the ground after Clay threw a vase he made with his Dragon Slayer Earth right at Sherry's forehead.]

LH:[Coming to] Awesome! You beat her! Thank---

CG:[Cutting her off] Hold up! She's still conscious...

SB:[Struggling to stay conscious]...Angelica...avenge me...

[As if on cue, the giant, flying rat known as Angelica came propelling herself towards the two Fairy Tail wizards.]

LH: Oh No! I can't move! She's gonna crush us! DO SOMETHING!!!

[While the rat was approaching, the two exceeds Griffin and Polly, dropped off Erza and Magma out of Lucy's view.]

CG:[Nods to Griffin] *Humph* I'll see you your giant, flying rat, and raise you my small, flying lion! GRIFFIN! GO!!!

[Before Angelica could attack Clay and Lucy, Griffin knocked the flying rodent out of the sky, via a superman-style punch, sending it crashing into the cliff's side with a large crater, knocking her stone-cold.]

SB:[Slipping out of consciousness]...No fair...although the flames of my consciousness...have been extinguished too soon...my love still burns for you, Cold Emperor...please...for...give...me...😵

[After Griffin, K.O'd the rat, Clay pulled down his hood, allowing Griffin to land in it.]

LH:[Joyful] Yes! Thank you both! Whoever you are!

CG: Oooh, don't thank us just yet![Takes off goggles, allowing them to hang around his neck.] Earth Dragon: Hojōjutsu!(Magic restraints made from extremely strong ropes of cellulose.)[Clay sent two shots of rope from either hand, one aimed at an unconscious Sherry, the other aimed at Lucy.]We're only here to return some missing wizards from Fairy Tail. Now if you'd be a good girl and tell us where the rest of you are, so we can get the hell off this island!

LH:[Dismissive] What!?! The hell I will! If you think me and my friends are just going to go willingly with two strangers, you've got another thing coming! I'm not leaving until my friends are ready to leave!

Griffin: You mean like your friend we came with, right behind you!?![Griffin pointed back at Magma, impersonating Erza.]

Magma Scarlet:[Impersonating Erza, Grabbing Lucy from behind by her shoulders, with her head to Lucy's right.] Lucy! You'd better tell us where the other are! OR ELSE!

LH:[Frightened]E-erza!?! What are you doing here!?!

MS: What do you think!?! Bringing you idiots back to Fairy Tail!

LH: Erza! We can't leave now! These people need us!

CG:[Warning] Ooo, I wouldn't test her if I we're you!

LH:.SHUT UP! I know her better than you! Erza! Who are these guys?

MS: These two selfless wizards are Fairy Tail's newest members. Master Makarov permitted them to accompany me in order to retrieve you fools![Clay and Griffin both show their guild stamps.]

LH: Wait...What!?! How hypocritical of him! He wouldn't let Natsu, Happy and I go because we aren't S-Class, but he'll let two rookies join you in bringing us back!?!

CG:[Offended] ROOKIES!?!

Griff: We may be new to Fairy Tail, but we are far from greenhorns...

MS: Don't forget! These two saved your sorry ass!

LH: Yes, and I'm grateful for that, really! But instead of fighting each other, we need to help these people!

Griff: Oh, so the helpless Awol wizard is giving US the orders now?

LH: WATCH IT, CAT!

[Griffin glared at her with his death stare.]

CG: Mmm! Mmm!! Maybe we shouldn't have saved you, because you clearly have a death wish talking to Griffin like that!

Griff:[Repressing anger] Listen closely you wench! I am an Exceed, just like every other "magical, flying, talking, bipedal-walking CAT!" You do well to remember that...Or else...

LH:[Naively unphased, sarcastically] Oooh! I'm SO scared!

Erza Scarlet:[Hidden behind Clay] It seems you really do have a death wish...

LH:[Confused] Huh!?! Hey![Obliviously to Magma] What kind of spell is that your using to throw your voice?

MS: Do yo have any idea how angry we were back at Fairy Tail?

ES:[Still hidden] Master Makarov was so furious,[Lying] he resorted to using a forbidden spell, just to give you an idea of how furious he was...

MS: But he didn't want to use it on any of you...

ES: He used it on...

[Clayton steps to the side, allowing Erza to step towards Lucy.]

ES&MS:[In unison] Me!

LH:[In utter confusion, frantically looking back at Erza and Magma] Huh! Huh! Huh! Huh! Huh! Huh!...HUH!!! HUH!!![Screaming in absolute terror] AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! TWO ERZAS!!![Hyperventilating] IT'S THE SIGN OF THE APOCALYPSE!!! PLE-HE-HEASE!!! DON'T KILL ME!!! I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE!!!

CG&Griff:[Holding back laughter]

MS: If I were you, I'd apologize to those two you so rudely insulted. After all,[Points to Clay] Clayton over there did knock me straight out of Magnolia, and he was hardly trying, and Griffin over there sent him passed the stratosphere like it was nothing!

CG: Yeah he did! I could see the whole planet from up there! It was quite beautiful actually! You know, if it didn't hurt like hell, I'd ask you to send me back up to see it again Griff!

LH:[Snapping out of her fear] Wait...The guy with the weird eyes knocked you down Erza? No way...

[Clay was infuriated. Subconsciously casting his Earth Dragon gauntlets and boots, ready to beat some manners into Miss Heartfilia. Being only held back by Griffin, holding him by his hood.]

CG:[In unbridled anger] WHO YOU CALLING "WEIRD EYES" YOU UNGRATEFUL LITTLE WITCH!!! AT LEAST WHEN ERZA INSULTED ME, IT WAS A COMPLETE ACCIDENT, BUT THAT RIGHT THERE IS A BLATANT INSULT!!! LET ME GO, GRIFF!!! I'LL SEND HER FLYING WITH A ONE-WAY TICKET BACK TO MAGNOLIA!!!

Griff: Calm down boy! You need to learn how to control your-


LH:[Laughing hysterically] That's SO CUTE! The baby lion is holding him back![Continues laughing]

CG: 😮

ES&MS: 😱

Griff: 😾...[Gritting his teeth]ANGER!!!

[Dead silence enveloped the island shore. Clay grew a sinister smirk, knowing the naive wizard doomed herself. Magma was holding Erza for protection from her angry godfather. Erza held her close, with her Adamantine armor, shielding them both.]

MS:[Trembling in fear] M-m-m-mama! I-I-I'm scared! Why does uncle Griffin look so angry!?!

ES:[Trying to be brave] Stay behind me, sweetie! Mommy will protect you!

CG:[Leaning into Griffin's ear, whispering] Hey, Griff! You thinking what I'm thinking?...

Griff:[With a death stare on his face, in repressed rage.] Unison Raid!?!

CG:[Agreeing] Unison...damn...Raid!

CG&Griff: Chain Mace of Doom!

LH:[Confused] Huh? Erza...s?...Why do yo look so...[Realizing her mistake.]Scared...You weren't bluffing earlier...were you?

ES&MS:[Nodding side to side]

LH: SO, all that stuff you guys were saying...it was true? They BOTH are really crazy strong?

ES&MS:[Nodding in confirmation]

LH: And...I just insulted them both...didn't I?...Am I gonna die!?!

ES&MS:[Vigorously Nodding in confirmation]

CG&Griff:[Shouting in unison] UNISON RAID!!!
[As she was asking the Scarlets for the low-down, Griffin, in his 9' battle form, swung the weighted head of his chain mace around furiously, creating a cyclone with Griffin at the center. But instead of striking Lucy, Griffin threw the head back to Clay, who was holding a two-handed bat of even denser, and more powerful than usual, Earth Dragon rock, smashing the bat against the mace heading towards him, sending it jetting towards Griffin.]

CG:[As he broke the bat against the projectile] CHAIN MACE OF...

[As the mace headed towards Griffin, he stepped out of its path of flight, focusing all his strength into striking the mace from it's rear, boosting it even more, arching it with his telekinesis so that after it hits Lucy in the face, it will charge straight into the ground, bringing Lucy with it.]

Griff:[As he strikes the mace]...DOOM!!!

LH:[Speechless]...Momma!?!...*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!*

[The mace buried Lucy in a deep hole, nearly 30km(20mi) deep, nearly through the planet's crust.]

ES&MS:[Concerned] Is she dead!?!

CG&Griff: No...but she'd wish she was...

Virgo:[Opening her own gate, digging Lucy back to the surface with Lucy limp in her arms.] Princess, you shouldn't be so deep in the ground all alone! It can be dangerous!

Taurus:[Opening his own gate, ready to retaliate on Lucy's behalf.] Hey, you twooo! You better back away from luuucy if you know what's 😶...good for yooou? Say! Boy! Yooou look familiar...

Virgo: Now that you mention it...he does look familiar...

Cancer:[Joining his fellow Celestial Spirits] I swear I've seen hair like that before, baby! Hang on! Maybe Aquarius might know something about him...[Grabs Aquarius's Gate Key from Lucy's keys, dipping it's tumblers into the water.]

Aquarius:[Coming from the sea] What the hell are you guys...[Seeing a limp, severely beaten, Lucy in Virgo's arms.]summoning me for...[Breaks down laughing hysterically.] Bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah...Aaahahahahahahahahahahaaa!!! Well, well! I like your new look Lucy! Silent and Slump like a dead fish! Huh!?! Hey, kid? Do I know you from somewhere?...

Horologium:[Appearing next to the others, sore from shielding Lucy from only a fraction of the blow.] *Groans* Well...whoever they are...they nearly killed Lucy if I didn't take some of that blow! Forced me straight back to the Celestial Spirit...[Looks at Clay]realm? Hey, you...you look familiar...

CG:[Recognizing all of them as his mother's former spirits] Horologium? Aquarius? Cancer? Taurus? Virgo?...

Lyra:[Appearing in front of the others] CLAY!

CG:[Happy] LYRA![They both ran towards each other, hugging tightly.] It's been too long!

The rest of the spirits:[Recognizing Ayla's son] CLAY![They all joined in the hug, dropping Lucy like a rag doll on the beach sand.] You're all grown up!

Aquarius: It's been too long since we've all seen you!

Cancer: I should have known that hair as Ayla's baby boy, baby!

Horologium: You sure have grown! I think you're almost as tall as your dad!

Virgo: I'll say! You look really hot now, my prince! Just like Brick!

Cancer: You wear your old man's coat well, baby!

Taurus: Speaking of yooour dad, I remember when me and Leo used to fight over who would win a date with your smoooking-hot mom!

CG:[Laughing] And dad would kick both your asses!

Lyra: What are you doing here? We haven't seen you since...

CG&Horologium: Since that day...

[Clay and the other spirits remembered that day, when the Etherious Demons of Zeref leveled his home town of Freesia, he still remembers when his dad locked him in the town's cathedral while Brick, Ayla and all thirteen Zodiac Spirits fought them until Clay's parents last breath.]

Aquarius: Damn it! If only Ayla would have summoned our king, maybe things would have been different...

CG: Don't beat yourself up over it Aquarius![Lying] I've gotten over that day!

Aquarius: Hmmm...Thank you...Damn! If only we'd be contracted to you, instead of that poor excuse of a wizard over there...[Points to Lucy's limp body.]

Virgo: Oh, come on Aquarius! She's not that bad!

CG:[Trying to remember something] Hmmmmm...Oh! You still technically are Aquarius! All of my mom's spirits! She let me do Blood Contracts with you all, remember?

Crux:[Appearing] Although, I'm sure you remember that Blood Contracts are only Secondary Contracts, that can be overridden by those contracted with the actual Gate Keys...

CG: I remember gramps...but if I'm contacted with you all, that's all that matters, no matter what kind of Contract!

Virgo: Hang on! If you were already contracted with us all, why didn't you summon us before?

CG: Because I wanted to find all your Gate Keys, so we could be reunited again...guess I'm too late though...

Cancer: So...Is Lucy going to be okay? Baby!

CG: Yeah...She'll be fine...those magic ropes binding her prevent her from dying...the second I touch them, she'll feel.every bit of pain that we dealt to her...here, let me wake her up![Clay touches the bindings, making them glow green.]

LH:[In excruciating pain]
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH...Are you guys here to protect me?

Aquarius: I'm ready to see an encore...well, Clay! It was really great to see you again...summon me anytime you want to go explore under the sea like we used to do...

Griff: Speaking of seas, you should repair your Life-Shirt before you forgot.

CG: Man, your right! Thank goodness you threw me straight to the island, and not in to the water, or else I would have been lost for days...[Clay takes his coat of, hanging it around his waist, then taking off his shirt to inhale it and repair it.]
There we go! Good as...new...Not you guys too!

[The female spirits proceeded to get hands on with Clay's body, much like how the ladies back at Fairy Tail were.]

Aquarius: My! My! You look even hotter than Brick was![Rubbing his shoulders.]

Virgo: My dear prince, your muscles are alarmingly hard. Shall I massage them for you?[Massaging his left arm.]

Lyra: Wow! Your abs are so hard, you could probably use them as a washboard![Playing with his abs.]

CG: Hey! Lucy was it? I'll cast a spell on you to help take the pain away if you close their gates...

LH: Everyone! Force Gate Closure![Lucy closed every spirits gate.]
Now heal me!

CG:[Puts clothes back on, having Griffin return to the hood] A deals a deal! Earth Priest: Rejuvenate![Clay used his Earth Priest Magic to rehabilitate Lucy's body, since despite that Unison Raid she was hit with, wasn't damaged by it due to her bindings, this new spell just replenished her magic and alleviated her pain.]

[Happy comes flying in.]

Happy: Lucy! There you are! Huh? Hey Lucy!?! Who the tall guy with freaky eyes?

CG:[Whispering to Griffin.] Hey Griffin? Can you burry his ass in the ground for me? Cause if I do it, I know I won't hold back...

Griff: Very well...

Hap:[Sees Magma, mistaking her for Erza.] Huh!!! Aaah!!! Erza's here! Huh!?![Sees the actual Erza.] Erza!?! But I just saw you--Wait!!![Looks between both Scarlets in a rapid manner.] AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! TWO ERZAS!!! IT'S THE SIGN OF THE APOCALYPSE!!! PLEASE!!! I'M TOO CUTE TO DIE!!! I NEVER MET A NICE GIRL CAT TO KISS! I'M STILL A VIRG--*Pow*[Happy was knocked out by Griffin and Polly.]

Polly: My, Word! That tomcat has the most annoying voice me poor ears have ever heard! Well tom! I should be heading back to me mates. Have your boy signal Charlie when you need us to return to pick ye all up!😘

[Polly leaves, heading back to The Flying Exceed.]

CG:[Sees Griffin blushing] Hey Griff!?! Are you blushing!!!

Griff:[Blushing, but in denial] NO!!! W-what are you talking about!?!

Hap:[Half conscious] O-o-oh Wow! He Lo-o-oves her...*BAM!*

[Griffin smashes Happy fifteen meters into the ground below.](After consideration, the ship name of Griffin and Polly(Her real name is Mary, but she only let's people she loves call her that), is either Pollin[Pronounced like Pollen], Golly, or Gary, all are equally adorable.)

CG: Geez Griff! We're suppose to bring them back alive you know![Clay casts Earth Priest: Branch of Life on the poor, blue exceed, retrieving him in a tangle of magical healing foliage.]
Just for that, I'll put him in my hood, so you can't ride in it.[Clay puts the wrapped-up feline in his hood.] Well, it just goes to show you; DON'T PISS OFF GRIFFIN!

Griff: With that in mind, another word of advice miss Lucy...DON'T TALK CRAP ABOUT CLAY'S EYES!

LH: Man...wish I would've known that earlier...But that's not important right now! There's a cult of evil wizards who brought a big, scary demon here to free it, but the magic they're using is causing the people in the village to turn into monsters!

ES: So what? It should be none of your concern, BECAUSE THIS REQUEST IS NONE OF YOUR RIGHT TO TAKE!

CG: Be though as it may,[Grabs a handful of sand to smell, letting it flow back down] she's not lying about demons, It was the first thing I smelled on this island.

MS: I smelled it too...Must be a really huge demon for it to practically cover the whole island with it's scent...

LH: See! Wait, hold on a minute? You can smell it? How?

CG: Didn't you hear my roar earlier? I'm an Earth Dragon Slayer. My sense of smell is far greater than the average human, especially me being an Earth Dragon Slayer. I can smell even minuscule trace amounts of molecules that are left on the earth.

LH: Oh! So your another Dragon Slayer...That explains that, but Natsu's one too! How come he couldn't smell it?

CG: Because I know what demons smell like, and I doubt your friend does...

LH: Okay...That explains you smelling it, but not Erza.[Pointing to Magma.]

ES: That's easier to explain. Clay was the wizard who used the forbidden spell on me to create her. In addition to having all my magical powers and abilities, Clay also made her capable of using all of his magic, as well as his abilities...

CG: On top of all our memories and mind-links to both of us...

ES: She's actually kind of like our child if you think about it...

CG:[To himself] You know...There's no point in arguing about it anymore...might as well accept it...

LH: Geez Erza! We weren't even gone a week and your already having kids with the new guy? What are you guys, couple now? Please tell me this isn't permanent...

MS: 😢[Hugs Clay's arm, crying on his right shoulder] *Sniff* Mommy? *Sniff* Daddy? *Sniff* Why doesn't Aunty Lucy like me!?!😭

CG:[Comforting his daughter] There, there Maggie(Magma's nickname)...She IS permanent! Miss Insensitive!

Griff:[Comforts her as well] There, there young one...I'll allow you to pet me if it will make you feel better...

[Magma shrinks down to a child Erza, then curls up with Griffin, petting him for comfort.]

ES:[With Mamma-Bear rage] How dare you make my little girl cry Lucy! And she sees you like an aunt! Apologize this instance,[Death stare] OR ELSE...

LH:[Fearing for her life] I'm so sorry! Please, don't cry! Please forgive me!!!

MS:[Stops crying] *Sniff* You really mean it?

LH: 😓[Looks to see the others]

ES,CG&Griff: 😠

LH:[Giving it her all] YES! YES! YES!!! I TOTALLY MEAN IT! I'M SORRY FOR BEING SO MEAN! PLE-HE-HEASE, FORGIVE ME-HE!!!

MS:[Sniffles] Okay...If you really mean it, I forgive you.

LH:[In great relief] *Whoow* That's a relie-*Chocking*

[Magma returns to her normal form to hold Lucy up by the neck in a one-handed choke-hold.]

MS:[Showing her mother's side] Because if you don't...I'll show you just how powerful my parents made me! UNDERSTAND!?!

LH:[Violently nods in comprehension]...yesss...

[Magma let's go, letting her hit the ground.]

MS: Good...

ES:[To the others] She definitely gets that from me...

CG&Griff: That's for sure...

CG: As for the "being a couple" thing, I think I speak for both of us when I say that I love Magma with unconditional platonic love, and I feel the same way about Erza, if it grows any further, well...only time will tell.(Attention JERZA fans, it will not be anything beyond platonic.)

ES: I agree whole-heartedly...It's getting late...We should go into the village for the night...we'll search for the others an hour before dawn.

CG&MS: There's no need to search! We know where they are!

ES: I forget you both are capable of searching so well...Then let's take our prisoners back to the village and you can both lead us to find the others...

MS: Gray is already at the village, but he looks injured...

CG: Yeah...And it looks like Natsu's deep in the jungle, a bit battered, but alive, and sleeping it off...

LH: Wait! But the village was destroyed!

CG: Well that explains the giant crater on the island...

MS: But I see plenty of villages in what looks like a village!

Griff: Perhaps the villagers are seeking shelter at an old compound of sorts...

ES: Then we'll head there and rescue Gray, then after we rest, we'll head into the jungle and get Natsu. Clay! Grab the other wizard and...Hey! Where is she?

[Sherry was taken by Ultear, disguised as Zalty, and returned to the their hideout.]

CG: Damn it! We were so busy here, we didn't even realize that she was rescued by her allies...

ES: We can worry about them later...Griffin! Grab Lucy! Clay! Magma! Take us to where the villagers are!

Hap:[Subconsciously] Hey...Don't strain yourself too much carrying Lucy...She's surprisingly heavy...Hehehehe...[Slips back out of consciousness.]

LH:[Offended] Shut up, Happy! WOAH![Griffin grabs Lucy and flies with the others.]

Griff:[Puzzled] Hmmmm...I don't know what he's talking about...you don't weigh anything close to Clay, let alone heavy...

LH: Thank you! Wait? How heavy is he?

Griff: He's about five times denser than the average human...about 315 kilograms...

CG: Hey! Your way off! I'm a solid 250kg!

[As Magma leads to the Village's storage area, Clay and Griffin were in the rear noticing the moon's otherworldly appearance, thinking back to the Moon Village of the Valkyries.]

Clay(ton) Grimm: Hey, Griff?

Griffin: Yes, Clayton?

CG: Doesn't the Moon remind you of something?

Griff: Now that you mention it, it looks strikingly similar to the True Moon that's being guarded in the Moon Village...

Lucy Heartfilia: What are you guys talking about? The reason the Moon looks like that is because those wizards in the Forbidden Temple are using it to make Moon Drip to thaw out the demon under the temple!

CG: Moon Drip?

Griff: You surely mean Moon Thaw, right?

LH: Is that another name for it?

CG: It's the more proper name, yes...you see, the Moon emits a magical energy that, thanks to the sun's own energy, cancels it out due to it hitting the moon, is harmless.

Griff: However, if a being with the aptitude knows how to perform the Moon's Vail ritual, they can use their own magic to filter out the sun's energy, leaving the Moon's energy to reach the earth, resulting in three possible forms of the Moon's energy; Moon Frost, being a crystalline solid, Moon Thaw, being liquid in nature, and from what I'm going to guess this band of wizards are actually using, Moon Vapor, being, as you can guess, gaseous in nature. All forms of The Moon's magic energy have a--


LH:[Interrupting] Ummm, your friend's hands are glowing...

[Clay's right hand was glowing with gold, while his left hand glowed silver.]

CG: What the...

Griff: Must be the Moon's magic, forming a Moon Vail over the entire island...

CG: That would explain why my God and Devil Slayer magic is acting up...[Clay wrapped his arms in magic cellulose bandages.]

ES: God Slayer?

LH: Devil Slayer?

CG: It's sort of a long story...You've heard stories about dragon eating humans right?

ES&LH: Yes...

CG: Well my dragons didn't eat humans...Said they taste like dust...

LH: Wait? Dragons? As in plural of dragon?

CG: *Sigh* Yes...I was raised by a Dragon Couple, their names were Gaedey and Gednus...So anyway, Gaedey instead devoured many, many Earth gods, said they tasted wonderful.
Gednus did the same, except he ate, what he thought at the time was a human, he later found out was a demon, and then developed a taste for Earth demons. As they both were ravaging either race, a group of the Overworld gods and the Underworld demons, who were mortal enemies, made a pact to try and kill them both. But after a very long battle, Gaedey and Gednus worked together to defeat and then devour them, falling in love in the process, fearing for their lives the rest of the gods and demons agreed to recognize Gaedey as the Queen Earth Dragon Goddess of the Overworld, and Gednus as the King Earth Dragon Demon of the Underworld, as long as they'd stop eating their kinds. They agreed, and after all the gods and demons they consumed, they realized they also could wield their respective magic...So Gaedey and Gednus taught me both Earth God Slayer magic, which is gold, instead of black like every other God Slayer magic, and Earth Devil Slayer magic, which is silver, on top of teaching me Dragon Slayer magic...

ES: Fascinating...

LH: So you know three different kinds of "Slayer Magic?" Can you combine them all together?

CG: Technically yes...If a mage could wield all three types of Slayer Magic, they could theoretically combine them all together to perform Lord Slayer Magic, magic so powerful, it can kill the unkillable, but...

Magma Scarlet: Excessive use of Lord Slayer Magic WILL result in the caster's death...

CG: But even with all that magic, I'd doubt I'd be able to beat Griff in a no-hold-bars match!

Griff: It's good to know ones limits Clay...

ES: You sound like an exceptionally powerful mage...I'm surprised I've never heard of you...

Griff: What about your other alias Clay?

CG: Huh? Oh! Yeah! Nidhogg!

ES&LH: NIDHOGG!!!

LH: You mean Nidhogg? Like Tempestas and Nidhogg? Of the Drakes of Heaven and Earth!!!

CG: Yep!

ES: Why didn't you tell me back at the guild hall?

CG: Vicki wanted to keep it on the down low, to keep the press off us...

ES: That makes sense...

LH: So...If you can use "Devil Slayer Magic" can you kill that demon they're trying to free?

CG: That, or I could make a weapon made of Devil Slayer Silver so anyone who wields it could kill it...

MS: We're here!

[The wizards arrive at the Village's hideout.]

Village Guard 1: Halt! Who are you four?[Referring to Erza, Magma, Clay, and Griffin.] And what are you doing with one of the wizards we hired!

ES: My name is Erza Scarlet of Fairy Tail, as are the rest of my friends.

Village Guard 2: You guys are from Fairy Tail?

Village Guard 3: Have you come as reinforcements?

ES: Unfortunately, no. The wizards that arrived here prior to us have broken our guild's rules by taking your request, despite not being permitted to take it. However, once we bring our wizards to justice, we will take the quest in their place.

VGs: But why? Can't you just all help us? We could use all the help we can...

ES: I'm sorry, but this is how our guild rules are.

Moka: It doesn't matter who fights and who leaves. All that matters is that you destroy the Moon!

LH: *Sigh* We can't destroy the Moon! It's impossible!

CG,MS&Griff: Actually, it's viable, but unnecessary.

LH: What!?! We CAN destroy the moon?

Griff: Yes, but it's unnecessary. Once we stop the wizards from continuing the ritual. We will fix your true issue. Now, we humbly ask that you allow us to spend the night in your compound.

Moka: Very well. Lulu here with show you to a room where you can stay. My name is Moka by the way, Chief of my village.

Lulu: Hello, This way.

[As the wizards arrive at their room.]

Lulu: Here. You can all use this room if you'd like.

ES: Excuse me, but is there an Ice wizard of ours here, by the name of Gray Fullbuster?

Lulu:[Puzzled] Yes...There's a wizard here by that name...although...

MS: He's injured.

Lulu: Yeah...how did you know...[Looks between Erza and Magma.]...Ummm...Are you to twins or something?

ES&MS: Of sorts, yes.

Lulu: O...kay...Well he's resting after he got hurt helping the other wizards fight against the Cold Emperor and his followers.

ES: What? He's helping them? That wasn't his mission! To think he went Awol as well...I expected more from him!

Lulu: Do you want me to show you to him?

ES: No. But if I may ask that you would direct him to our room when he wakes up.

Lulu: Of course.

[Lulu leaves the wizards to discuss their plan of action in their room.]

LH: Please, Erza! These people need our help!

Griff: No. They need Our help.[Points out the Scarlets, Clay and himself.]

LH: But none of you were even here to save everyone from the magic acid attack that destroyed their village!

CG: Hey! How's that our fault?

LH: I MEAN, if it wasn't for Natsu, Gray and I, these people would all be goners!

CG: I don't think so...Maggie! Aunty Lucy needs a nap...

MS: Yes father.[Magma touches Lucy's restraints to send a command to make her unconscious.]

Griff: Now that that's settled, we should discuss our plan of action for tomorrow.

ES: Agreed. Magma! Give me the location of Natsu so I can retrieve him. Then, you and Clay heal Gray, so you can reprimand him. Griffin! Secure the perimeter of this place.

CG: Something doesn't make sense...it's impossible to just perform a Moon's Vail ritual just anywhere...You'd need a temple the Valkyries made for it...Wait? Galuna Island...Griffin! You don't think...

Griff:[With a revelation] Of course! This island was a place the Valkyries designated for humans to be blessed by the Moon's dispelling properties.

CG: Moon Island...Huh![Clayton hears Gray mutter in his sleep about Deliora, The Demon of Destruction, from the Books of Zeref.] Erza! We need to stop them from releasing this demon! It's not like the villagers!

ES: What do you mean, not like the villagers?

MS: Father is referring to the fact that this village was appointed to protect the temple from those who would wish to abuse it, because the villagers themselves cannot even enter it in the first place.

Griff: Because everyone in this village, is a demon.

ES: What!?! But if that's true, are we in even more danger then we originally thought?

CG: No. Despite what we are told as people, demons aren't beings of evil, rather they are more like us, in the sense that we aren't born good or evil, but more neutral than anything.

Griff: However, the Valkyries made an agreement with this tribe of demons to ward off any Ill-intent people wishing to misuse the Moon's magic for their own nefarious purposes. Their must be a lens of Moon Frost above the island, forcing their true form at night, and messing with their memories and psyche...Moon magic does bond to Dark Matter after after all...and excessive amounts of Dark Matter has been known to interfere with the minds of demons...

MS: Yes. However, Uncle Gray has said in his sleep, not too long ago, that this demon is from the Books of Zeref, the Black Wizard. If memory serves, he lost everything as a child to this demon.

CG: Just like me, huh...Erza! I need to stop these wizards, and make sure Deliora won't harm anyone ever again. Not only is it a personal matter for me, but I'm honor-bound with my Moon Village Mark to protect this place, as well as it's protectors. Please, let me go with you! Natsu's not too far from the temple. I'll lead you to him. All I ask is that in return is that you allow me to fulfill my duties as a Valkyrie. I'm asking you as an S-Class wizard from Fairy Tail. Please...

ES: I cannot permit you to go...

CG: But-

ES:[Interrupting] Let me finish! I cannot permit you to go...alone...After deep consideration, I agree with what Lucy said earlier. We DO need to stop these wizards, and save this village. However, these wizards of ours must not go around thinking they can just take any requests they want, especially without permission.

Griff: So they can aid us, but aren't exempt from their transgressions...Understood!

ES: Alright! Magma! Heal Gray as best you can, when he wakes up and comes to our tent, you are to scold him for aiding them, instead of returning them back to Magnolia, then help them stop these wizards. Griffin, follow the orders I gave you before, then come to the others aid when this village is safe. Me and Clay will find Natsu, scold him for his actions, then stop these wizards.

CG,MS&Griff: Got it!
