Past Demons

Everyone was practically falling asleep from the quiet, Lyra had gone back to the spirit world awhile ago.

While Natsu and Happy were just throwing a stone around like a ball.

Sayla was in deep thought, trying to remember where she had heard about the Moon Drip before; it was right there if only she could grasp it.

Everyone became alert though when the cavern began to shake.

It was like a mini earthquake or at least it seemed to be one, as a violet magic circle suddenly appeared over the frozen Deliora; along with similarly colored light.

"What's going on?" Lucy asked, as Gray finally snapped out of his thoughts.

"Come on!" Natsu said leading the way.

They all saw the light fall on the demon, the very same cursed light that shined upon the villager's.

As they ran up a flight of stairs towards the top again.

"Why would someone cast a magic circle inside this old temple?" Gray asked, confused.

"I don't know, but our answers await us above" Sayla answered the ice mage.

When they reached the top they saw people in mask and robes in a circle chanting, it seemed they were the one's causing the magic circle's.

Now if only they knew why they were making them.

Sayla looked up seeing the purple moon...purple moon.

"The moon, that's what their doing!" Sayla spoke finally realizing what was happening.

Moon drip of course! How could she be so stupid! When Natsu had told them what the humans had said.

The other's turned to the woman, waiting for an explanation.

"Moon Drip I read about it before, it can be used to break spells that are considered unbreakable" Sayla quietly explained" In this case the Ice Shell" the womans red eye's look towards Gray.

"They can't!" Gray countered baring his teeth "The ice in an Iced Shell can't be melted!" he denied.

"That would usually be the case, but the Moon Drip is concentrated energy from the moon" the demoness nodded upward" it will break, and soon from the looks of it" the others were left in stunned silence.

Minus Natsu and Sayla, who were wondering how this would end up going down.

"Oh no" Lucy said frightfully.

"Those idiots!" Gray growled "They've never witnessed the power of Deliora!"

"But what I don't understand is the villagers state's, the Moon Drip doesn't cause demonization" Sayla rubbed her chin in thought.

"Well we'll just beat the awnsers out of them and if that doesnt work" Natsu smirked, before anyone could take his meaning to far Lucy shushed them.

"Wait" Lucy whispered" Someone's coming" they look to where the blond was.

Sure enough another man was approaching and was dressed just as weirdly as the others.

The demonic mask over his face hid his face, while the outfit was an assortment of blue with a cape.

Walking behind him were Yuka, Toby and Sherry, though they kept their distance.

"Anybody's jewel on that being the 'Cold Emperor' "Natsu said to the rest, just like the rest the man didn't smell like an islander.

That and something else, he felt a familer chill of magic.

"What a waste" Yuka said "I lost so much sleep and all for nothing, we searched all day for the intruders but never found a trace of them" the man didn't seem pleased.

"Maybe there wasn't any!" Toby yelled.

"I'm afraid I have some sad news Cold Emperor" Sherry said to the masked man "We thought we had intruders earlier today but couldn't find them, we cannot speak of love in this kind of situation" the group couldn't help but sweatdrop at the woman's ridiculous choice of words.

"Intruders?" the man in charge said in a flat voice.

Sayla and Natsu noticed Gray stiffen at the voice, did he know the man? They wondered.

"Has Deliora been awakened?" the Cold Emperor questioned.

"It should be either tonight or tomorrow" Sherry answered.

"Which one girl!" Toby asked impatiently.

For a moment the cold emperor was silent.

"The time has almost come" he said "If you see those intruders again kill them, I don't want anyone getting in my way" The man stated.

"It must have been the villagers" Sherry nodded "They're the only other people on this island" she pointed out.

"Then destroy the village!" the cold emperor commanded.

"Yes, sir!" all three said bowing before their master.

"B-but" Lucy looked worried "but the villagers have nothing to do with this!" she looked at her friend's.

No one spoke as Sayla narrowed her eye's, so they were willing to kill huh?

She looked at Natsu in silent speech, the dragon slayer nodded in understanding.

The emperor smirked. "It's a shame there has to be bloodshed" he sounded so sincere, Sayla thought darkly.

Gray continued to stare at the man in shock "That voice" he murmured "no it can't be" as if he didn't want to believe it.

"I think it's time we made ourselves known" Sayla looked towards Natsu who grinned.

Only Happy understood what was being planned, as Lucy gave the two a confused look while Gray was once again muttering to himself.

The villainous group was suddenly being attacked by fly pebble's, which mildly suprised them.

"So, you guy's are the one's causing all this trouble!" Natsu smirked having jumped out of his hiding place, after what they said Sayla's abilities would be the least of their worries.

"What just" Lucy was dumbfounded by the levitation of stone.

No one seemed to know where that had come from.

The flying stone and appearance of the group caused momentary shock, but only for a moment as they soon looked at the Fairy Tail group.

Sherry narrowed her eye's as she noticed the mark on Sayla's thigh, Natsu's shoulder and Lucy's hand.

"I know those mark's" she said "their from Fairy Tail!" she exclaimed.

The rest looked at the now revealed group.

"So the villagers called for magical assistance did they" Yuka spoke as if annoyed.

"Cowards!" Toby barked, the three 'Minion's' getting ready to fight.

"Don't worry about them" The emperor replied calmly "Go eradicate the village" he ordered.

"What!?" Lucy gasped, she didn't think they had been serious.

"Why!?" Happy asked.

"Anyone who stands in my way either deliberately or not is my enemy" The masked man stated.

"Like were actually going to let you do that!" Natsu called out, fire forming around his fist.

Though before he could move Gray beat him to it, jumping into the air.

"Stop this crazy ceremony right now!" Gray demanded, as he got closer to the ground his hand hit the stone.

Causing a shockwave of ice as said minions had to move out of the way.

The Emperor just raised his hand a blue magic circle forming, as he sent out his own ice wave; though it was a different shade of blue compared to Gray's.

The two attack's collided cancelling each other out as they broke into fragments.

"He's an ice wizard too!?" Lucy asked in shock.

Gray stepped back as glared at the masked man "Lyon" he growled dangerously.

Natsu, Sayla and Lucy all became confused.

"Lyon?" Sayla repeated.

"You seriously know this guy?" Natsu asked the ice wizard.

"Lyon" Gray didn't seem to hear them "how could you? Do you have any idea what you're doing?!" he was beyond pissed.

"Oh Gray" Lyon said nonchalantly "It's been quite a while hasn't it?" he spoke as if he were discussing the weather.

The other's looked at eachother, not knowing how the two knew eachother.

"Why would you revive Deliora!?" Gray demanded.

"To think that you were one of the wizards called to this island to help those poor villagers" Lyon said ignoring Gray's question "Did you come knowing that you would find me, or is this just mere coincidence? Not that it makes any difference to me" the other smirked.

"An acquaintance of yours cold emperor?" Yuka asked.

"Do as you were ordered" Lyon replied, not answering the question "I'll handle the intruders on my own" he told the three.

"Yes sir!" they shouted obediently as they all ran off leaving Lyon alone.

"You actually think you can handle us by yourself!?" Natsu asked the man as he took a run at him, fire coating his fist.

What was it with guys like this over the centuries and their over confidence.

"No! Natsu! Don't get near him!" Gray tried to stop his friend.

Lyon didn't even glance at the slayer, as ice began to form around the dragon slayer.

"Natsu!" Lucy cried out.

"Happy! Get Lucy and Sayla out of here!" Gray yelled.

"Are you crazy! Were not leaving-" Lucy was cut off when Sayla placed a hand on her shoulder.

"No! We need to get to the village, we have to tell Erza what's going on" the demoness spoke, knowing Natsu could easily handle himself.

Lucy sighed then nodded" Okay, but how's Happy suppose to carry us both" the blond asked as Sayla winked.

"Happy, care to show her" Sayla spoke to the cat.

"Aye!" with a yell of suprise from Lucy the two girl's left the forming battlefield.

Gray was about to attack only for fire to hit Lyon, where ice had started to form around Natsu was just steam.

"What was that suppose to do?!" The dragon slayer asked the other ice mage, did he actually think ice could hold him!

Needless to say both Lyon and Gray where shocked" You shouldn't have been able to melt the ice" Lyon spoke as he looked Natsu over, no injury nor ice" I seem to have underestimated you, a mistake I won't make again" with that he sent out another spell, only for Gray to counter.

"Natsu go back to the village, help the girls" Gray told the dragon slayer.

Natsu blinked before glaring" You honestly think I'm going to leave you alone to fight by yourself!" he yelled at his friend.

"This is between us! Go!" Gray practically demanded.

Natsu growled a bit, but he could feel the tension this was between the two ice wizards.

But he wanted to teach that guy a lesson, after threatening the villager's; but...he hated running away.

"Fine, but if you die Sayla and Lucy will never forgive you!" He warned the ice mage, and he wouldn't either' he had something he had to check on anyway.

Leaving the two ice mage's Natsu began to track down a familer sensation, he had to be around here after all.

He found himself running near the temple again as the pull had started again, but only slightly.

In the darkness three glowing purple eye's looked back.

"So what have you been up to?" Natsu asked the flute.

Said demon flute floated up to the dragon slayer.

"Oh you mean beside this terrific island vacation" Lullaby spoke sarcastically.

Natsu gave the demon a flat stare" Guess you know Deliora's here" he said" Know how were going to handle it, I mean he's practically dead" the dragon slayer had felt the low energy levels.

"Destroying him would be the best idea, it's not like he's useful to anyone" Lullaby to knew, after all even demons needed to eat and last he heard it had been almost a decade since the imprisonment.

"What I don't get is why they want to free Deliora, people usually ran the minute they heard his name" it just didn't add up.

Lullaby looked at the dragon slayer before sighing at his stupidity" While you and your human friends were laying around like cattle, I found out the robed humans want revenge against Deliora for obvious reasons" the flute would deadpan if he could.

Natsu blinked as he slapped a hand against his face" Well Sayla didn't figure it out either" he countered.

Lullaby just floated there before speaking" What are you planning to do?"

"Well first make sure Gray isn't dead, then check on the girls" he looked at Lullaby with a smirk, as the flute growled.

"I will make sure you suffer a fate worst than death!" Lullaby threathened knowing what Natsu wanted of him.

Natsu just waved the threat off like he always did, after all the demon did this everytime they met.

"Suure! Just become a distraction!" Natsu said to the flute turning back to where he came from.

Lullaby would be twitching an eye if he could " I swear I am going to destroy him, one of these days his blood will stain the ground!" the demon flute growled, knowing that it would never happen.

Everytime he even thought of it for some reason or other, he stopped himself almost as if he was afraid; afraid of what?

He just grumbled to himself as he went in search of the robed humans, planning on how best to give them a scare without revealing his demonic form.

Last thing he needed was the wizards trying to destroy him as well.

(At the Village)

To say Erza was surprised was an understatement, she had been speaking with Moka while the sun set.

They had all turned back into demons the second the suns rays had gone, what had caused some panic was the large blue object that landed outside the village walls.

If Erza didn't know better she'd swear she was looking at a house sized dragon, a very familer blue furred, red eyed dragon with angelic wings and two horns with a mane of white hair.

She like a suprised Lucy were only now being informed about Happy's own abilities.

Transformation magic, who would have guessed?

In a ploom of pink smoke he was back to normal, as the red head was filled in.

Erza nodded" I see, then we shall retaliate" she nodded as she looked at Lucy.

The blond had called out her spirit awile ago, having Virgo dig a hole in the ground and then cover it with leaves.

Needless to say no one believed her pit fall trap would work, you'd have to be an idiot to fall for it.

"Will this really work?" a male villager who was now a blue bug like demon, asked a female villager who was green.

"I'm not sure" they mumbled and whispered to themselves about Lucy's plan.

Sayla and Erza could only sweatdrop at the blond.

"You have your swords ready, right?" Sayla asked Erza with a smile as they watch Lucy.

The blond seemed very confident her idea would work, she kept reassuring the villagers as Virgo watched like a statue.

"Yes, but we might as well leave her to it" Erza nodded, Lucy was still learning after all.

Anything else that was going to be said was stopped by a familer voice.

"Hey guys!"

They looked towards the gate to see Natsu running towards them, what looked like Gray was on his back.

Though then they noticed where he was headed, towards the pit fall.

Sayla and Erza just sighed, already knowing what was going to happen.

Meanwhile Lucy began to wave her arm's" Wait! Natsu stop!" she yelled trying to stop the dragon slayer.

It was for naught as Natsu stepped on the trap, he and an unconscious Gray falling in.

"Wow, that trap actually worked" one of the villagers said.

"Yeah" another villager said surprised as he turned to Lucy "sorry we doubted you" he apologized.

"What the heck! Who's idea was it to make a pitfall!" Natsu said as he got out, bringing Gray with him.

"Lucy made a pitfall to trap the bad guy's" Happy answered.

"That's stupid" Natsu said as Lucy hung her head.

Sayla and Erza walked over as they noticed the ice mages condition.

"He fought Lyon on his own didn't he?" Erza spoke having been filled in.

Natsu nodded" Stubborn bastard" the dragon slayer muttered, though there was some respect in there.

Some of the villagers came over to help Gray, as another spoke up.

"H-hey! What's that!" a villager pointed at the sky.

In the air was the giant rat Natsu and Gray had fought, flying by it's tail.

And Natsu and Sayla thought they had seen everything, guess there was a first time every few centuries.

"What's in the bucket?" Happy asked as the rat was carrying a large pail.

"Aww! Now my pitfall is useless!" Lucy groaned, ignoring the cat's question.

Natsu looked up, his nose wrinkled a bit as Sayla was in a similar state.

Whatever was inside smelled of danger, a drop of green goo fell from the bucket; heading towards Lucy.

"Jelly?" the blond said looking up at it.

"Look out!" was all the warning Lucy got as she was knocked down by Natsu.

The dragon slayer stood up, as Lucy paled.

Where she had been standing was a hole, the jelly had dissolved the land into a deeper hole.

"It's acid!" Erza said looking at the trio in the sky.

"I knew it smelled deadly" Natsu growled, giving Sayla a look as she nodded.

"T-that rat, has a whole bucket of that stuff! It's going to drop it on the village!" a villager cried out.

At that moment Angelica released the buckets contents, it was enough to cover the entire village and everyone in it.

"How do we stop that!?" Lucy yelled.

"I need everyone to get to the center of the village! Erza if you have any protective armor use it!" Natsu yelled as the red head was currently in misson mode, so wasn't about to reprimanded him.

The red head quickly changed into large white and navy blue bulky armor, with a large sheild.

Everything about it screamed defense, as she raised the sheild everyone gathering at the center.

Natsu looked towards Sayla as the woman nodded already looking up and slowing the jelly's decent.

"Alright Happy, let's go!" Natsu said as the cat followed.

"Aye Sir!" with that he changed into his dragon mode, carrying Natsu with him.

The slayer began to gather his flames as a large ball of fire formed.

"Fire Dragons Brillant Flame!" the attack hitting the jelly, with an opening created Happy rammed into Angelica causing the rat to nearly fall before regaining her balence.

The jelly began to fly everywhere except at the center, some that got through was stopped by Erza.

Who's shield while corroded was staying strong, and Sayla who was deflecting any stray acid with her power.

Though one of the villagers seemed to notice their chief was missing, as they saw Moka.

He was near his son's gravestone, hugging it in a protective manner as some stray jelly was heading his way.

"Chief run!" the villager cried out.

"No!" the chief yelled "I won't leave Bobo's grave!" he said stubbornly.

All the villagers could do was watch, as they cried out in grief and fear.

The three girls could only watch, as smoke rose expecting to see nothing left of Moka.

Instead a cacoon of burnt thorned vine's were in Moka's place, as the plant's quickly retreated.

No one knew where they came from, but it seemed they had saved Moka.

Sayla glanced at Natsu, as she received a nod.

"What was that!?"

"It saved the Chief"

The villagers speculated amongst themselves, as all they cared about was that their chief was safe and alive.

Everything except the center and where Moka stood was dissolved, leaving a donut shaped hole in the ground.

Luckily none of the villagers were hurt.

And soon began to cheer as they thanked thw wizards for saving them, while Moka cried tear's of joy at seeing his sons grave standing.

"Bobo's grave is still standing," he said relieved.

That soon changed as a foot threw the grave down, Yuka stood there with the other's

"The Cold Emperor has commanded us to eradicate the villageandits people" Sherry said coldly.

Yuka and Toby stood behind her, Angelica was still in the air battling Happy, the dragon cat refusing to give up.

Which took care of one threat.

"We were trying to show mercy by making your deaths quick and painless" Sherry began sweetly before her tone changed" But since that didn't work we'll have to resort to bloodshed" she smiled.

"How insane are you! Acid is not a painless death!" Sayla said, how crazy were these guys.

She was however ignored.

"Five wizards and a few dozen villagers" Yuka said despite his short stature seemed to look down on the group "This shouldn't take more than say fifteen minutes" she waved a hand.

"Why don't you pit your magic where your mouth is then!" Natsu challenged.

"Natsu take this threat seriously!" Sayla and Erza both yelled at him, the two women getting ready for a fight.

"These creeps are going down!" Lucy stated.

Moka and the other's watched the Fairy Tail wizard's ready themselves, Moka shaking with fury as he looked at the dark wizards.

"How dare they" he spoke "such disrespect! They kicked over Bobo's grave!" Many of the villager's grabbed their cheif before he took matters into his own hands.

"Calm down chief " One villager said.

"We have to get outta here!" Another yelled.

"Yeah" another added "we don't wanna get caught in the middle of a magic battle"

"Hurry up and get him away from danger!" a male villager commanded.

They responded by dragging a resisting Moka away from the battle.

Meanwhile Gray had begun to wake up, as seeing his friends take battle stances he tried to stand.

"Hey stay down! Your still hurt" a female villager who had been caring for his wounds said.

"No..I..have to" Gray said stubbornly wanting to help, despite being in no condition to.

The other's turned to look at Gray as Erza made her way over.

"Gray you will not join us" the scarlet haired woman spoke in a strange tone.

"Erza" Gray, was going to protest before passing out, the scarlet haired knight having knocked him out.

"Did you have to hit him?" Lucy asked Erza.

"It was for his own good, fighting in his condition would only endaher his life" Erza spoke calmly, almost caringly.

"I guess she really does care" Sayla spoke quietly, she always assumed the woman didn't like many of them since she yelled so much.

"Sayla" Erza said as the same female villager picked up Gray.

The demoness turned to the scarlet knight" destroy them swiftly and with force!" She smiled, as she went to follow the villagers, those three might have their allies waiting to ambush and Erza wouldn't have that.

"You got it!" Sayla smiled, the redheaded was someone she had begun to consider a friend even if she was temperamental.

"Sending away Titania is lowering your odds of survival" Yuka smirked fully believing that without Erza they would be victorious.

Natsu just glared" Hey eyebrows your mine! Sayla you take care of the mutt" he said, Sayla nodding already knowing why he wanted to fight Yuka.

"I suppose that means Lucy gets the rat girl" Sayla chuckled, with Lucy joining in.

The trio stared in shock and anger.

"Eyebrows!" Yuka yelled.

"I not a mutt!" Toby defended.

"Rat girl! You are so dead!" Sherry snarled in fury" Angelica! Forget the fake dragon come down here now!" The pinkette yelled at her rat.

The rat obeyed as she began to fly down Sherry jumping on her back, only avoid a blast of blue flame.

"Your not getting away!" Happy roared, as he passed ny his friends.

"Hey Happy wait! I'm helping take down that psycho bitch!" The blond yelled as she grabbed onto Happy's leg without thinking.

Everyone stared dumbfounded.

"Did she just?" Toby sratched his head.

"Can't say she isn't brave" Natsu said, or incredibly stupid.

"Now time for you two!" Sayla said as before either could react, Toby found himself being attacked by his own shadow.

While Natsu just lept towards Yuka breathing out his fire dragons roar, which was only blocked by Yuka creating a blue barrier.

"A woman who controls shadow's and a wizard who breaths fire?" Yuka raised a brow" your those wizards people talk about the Demoness and Salamander" he said, the two had a reputation but he hadn't thought they had joined a guild.

"Seriously Demoness! Can't you people come up with anything orginal" Natsu yelled forgetting the fight for a moment.

That nickname struck to close to home for Sayla and brought back many bad memories.

"Hey I'm okay!" Toby yelled from were he lay after Sayla had thrown him.

"You know" Yuka said drawing Natsu and Sayla's attention to him "we used to be in a famous guild ourselves so neither of you should underestimate us, you know the famous Iron Rock Jura is from the same guild; surely you've heard of Lamia Scale?" He said.

"Should we?" Natsu said not really caring, sure he knew of Jura.

He and Sayla liked to keep up on powerful wizards just in case.

His reaction made Toby looked shocked as did Yuka, with Natsu taking the chance to try and punch him only for the barrier to block him again.

"Listen when I speak to you!" Yuka yelled angered.

"Why? You seem to think gloating about your guild makes you more powerful" Natsu snorted.

"You could be part of the dark guilds alliance and we still wouldn't care" Sayla put in her own words.

"You hurt innocent people and we can't forgive that, your trying to kill innocent people so were going to return the favor" Natsu lit up a fist and grinned, it was a chilling look with how the light reflected off his fangs.

The two swore they saw Sayla's eye flash yellow if only for a moment.

"Toby" Yuka said calmly, though inside was a bit intimidated "take out the girl, I'll handle Salamander" he ordered.

Toby growled and leaped at Sayla, only to find himself hitting the ground.

A fist made from Sayla's own shadow had punched Toby in the gut.

"I make it a point that a man doesn't touch me until we've been on a date" Sayla huffed, though human men didn't really intrest her.

"Your not that ho-" Toby found himself being punched by Sayla herself, the woman could definatly dish it out.

"I'd learn to keep my mouth shut!" Sayla hissed as this time Toby knew he wasn't imagining things, as Sayla's red eye's turned yellow.

"Y-you know," he studdered actually beginning to fear the woman" your lucky your friend is fighting Yuka he's strong but I'm stronger!" He proclaimed his fingernails then turned green and extended.

"These are my Mega Jellyfish Paralyzing Claws! You'll never guess what they do!" He laughed.

"Paralyze you" Sayla said raising a brow, a bit bored.

She swore he was so stupid that using her curse would be a waste.

"How did you know that?!" he yelled.

"That's not worth awnsering" Sayla sighed rubbing her temples, as she ignored him.

"Hey don't ignore me!" He yelled running at swipe at Sayla, the woman just grabbed his arm.

"I command you, paralyse yourself" She whispered into his ear.

She watched as Toby touched his own head, knoking himself out.

"That was the most annoying battle of my life" she sighed, not really she battled worse.

She looked over at Natsu but made no move to help him, she could tell he was playing with Yuka.

The man seemed to posses a magic that cancles out magic, to bad for that they both didn't have to use magic.

"I posses Anti Wizard Magic, your fire is useless" Yuka said to Natsu, who he thought didn't understand.

"I know" Natsu said simply" I just thought I'd play around like you guy's have with these villager's" Natsu's voice changed to a more venomous tone.

Yuka was then suprised when he saw Natsu power up another flame covered fist, only the fire was darker this time and much more red.

Sayla smiled, already knowing how this would end.

"That won't work" Yuka said, powering up another barrier to defend himself.

Only to be punched by searing flames as he hit the ground.

He was shocked, how had he passed through his barrier.

"You know I hate arrogant people, they think their all powerful until someone stronger comes along" What creeped Yuka out was it sounded like Natsu wasn't even taking to him" I think it's time for lights out" that was the last thing Yuka heard, before something knocked the back of his head rendering him unconscious.

It had been a hand made of darkness.

"Sayla! I was going to knock him out!" Natsu whined, any of the seriousness he had shown before gone.

"You were about to go to far, I figured I'd stop him before you did" Sayla said giving him a disapproving look.

Natsu sighed, turning off his curse.

Sayla didn't like it when he used the one's he knew how to control for to long, it changed his personality to much; causing him to become much more violent.

"You tell Toby to beat himself up?" Natsu asked her.

Sayla just smiled" I made him paralyze himself, honestly I think he could have done it even without my curse" she chuckled" but honestly I was beginning to get bored" she said.

Natsu just smiled at that, as he headed over to Bobo's grave and put it back in it's rightful place.

"We should go check on Happy and Lucy" Natsu said, he knew Happy could handle himself.

Lucy, not so much.

"I'm sure Happy is helping and don't count Lucy out Natsu, I went on a job with her she's alot stronger than she looks" Sayla said already knowing her friends thoughts.

"If you say so" Natsu shrugged as he looked towards the temple and the purple light.

"Do you know what were going to do about Deliora?" Sayla asked, the demon was all but dead but no one else but them knew that.

"I have an idea but let's get Lucy and Happy first, I can track Erza and other's once we find them" Natsu said as Sayla nodded.

She did have a better snese of smell than most humans but Natsu's nose surpassed her own, she supposed it was his dragon slayer magic.

They left the two knocked out wizards behind, going into the forest as many trees lay uprooted and burned.

They soon found Angelica her fur was burnt in many areas, Sherry lay next to her out cold.

"Looks like Lucy and Happy took of rat girl" Natsu said, following the scent as he found a tired out Lucy and Happy.

The cat having turned backed, having exhausted his energy.

"Hey you two time to wake up!" Sayla practically yelled at Lucy and Happy who woke up.

"I SWEAR IT WAS THE BUTLER!" Lucy yelled randomly.

"FISH!" Happy yelled as they looled up to see Sayla and Natsu trying not to laugh.

"Sayla!" Lucy cried happy she had lived another day to see her friend, as she practically glomped the woman.

"Natsu!" Happy cheered falling onto his friends head.

"I guess you two really showed rat girl and her giant rat!" Natsu said pumping a fist into the air.

"Aye! Lucy was useful to, she beat up Sherry and everything! I thought she was gonna fail!" He laughed as Lucy heard this.

"What did you say you stupid cat!" The blond yelled as she chased Happy.

Natsu and Sayla just laughed" I never thought they'd be friends" Natsu said watching the two.

"Okay enough, we have to tell Erza what's happened and what were going to do next" Sayla said, taking charge.

The two stopped running around and agreed, as Happy began to retell the fight to Natsu.

The group following the dragon slayer, as he was the only one who could actually track Erza and the other's.

Sayla just smiled but couldn't shake a sudden feeling of foreboding, Deliora was harmless so why did she feel this way.

She had no idea a masked man had seen her and Natsu's battle, along with their abilities.

Things were going to get much more conplicated.

Theres a bug thats making my stories say complete when their obviously not
