This is the last "Memories from 400 years ago," part because "Memories of Fairy Tail" will begin in the next chapter! ^_^

Lucy had just finished reading another good book and put it back on the shelf. News of Eisenwald's defeat had spread quickly not that she was surprised about it because she wasn't. They rounded up all of the fool's part of the guild, except Erigor of course. Something told her he would be a nuisance in the near future, she doesn't need the stars to tell her that. Lullaby had been completely disintegrated; there was nothing left. Not even a small hint of magic residue was left behind, meaning there was no chance of the Etherious flute ever coming into existence ever again. She sighed, even though the brat had created it for the sole purpose of killing him, it defected from its "original order" and tried to kill the humans instead of the brat like he wanted. And to top it all off it didn't even recognize Natsu at all, meaning that if any demon from Tartaros appeared they wouldn't recognize him either which meant that the brat was in a deep sleep to the point where the demons couldn't even sense his presence. Thinking about it now, there was a possibility he was sealed during her hibernation period. She remembered hearing his voice when she was in her deep slumber but after awhile she didn't hear him anymore. She put a hand on her chest feeling something strange, almost like she felt…loneliness. How long has it been since she last felt such an emotion?

She walked away from her personal library and saw Seilah Ω, Kyôka Ω, and Brandish standing there waiting for her.

"Are you ready to go, Lucy?" Brandish asked.

"Yes, I am," she sighed, "The brat sure is persistent about this."

"Its not surprising he wants to fight her, he wants to show her how much he's improved." Brandish smiled.

"So it would seem, go ahead of us Brandish we'll catch up." Lucy told the girl.

She nodded and walked ahead of them leaving only Lucy and her creations, "I'm going to put you two in your books for now."

They both nodded as a white light enveloped them and they were turned into white books with symbols on them. Lucy grabbed both books and sent them to her storage space before walking to follow Brandish. She'd let them back out when they face Deliora.

Lucy and Brandish arrived and saw everyone was there surrounding the two mages in a circle.

"Ah, Lucy-sama, Brandish-sama. You're here." Yukino smiled.

"Hey Aniki, I was on my way to come and get you." Gray smiled.

"There was no need for that, we would have come eventually." Lucy told the raven-haired teen.

"Oh hey, Lucy-nee, Brandy." Mira greeted.

"Looks like we've just arrived to see the battle." Brandish observed.

"Well if those two value their manhood then they better go through with it." Elfman said.

"Erza's not a man." Mira stated.

"But ya gotta admit she's manly." Macao said.

"This should be an interesting battle between two strong mages." Yukino smiled.

"Huh? Why would you say that?" Gray questioned.

"Eh? Well, you, Natsu-sama, Erza-sama, Brandish-sama, and Lucy-sama are the strongest wizards in Fairy Tail." Yukino stated.

"So are you Yukino." Brandish smiled.

The girl blushed.

"What idiot fed you that crap?" Gray asked.

Mira smiled for a second then proceeded to cry.

"Oh, your not an idiot Mira." Gray said trying to console her.

"You made her cry." Brandish and Lisanna deadpanned.

"I'll hand it to Natsu and Gray they're tough little dudes. But nether of them are even close to being the strongest. There are guys in Fairy Tail who are stronger than the both of them combined," Elfman grinned pointing to himself, "Like this guy!"

"You have improved, but you still have a long way to go." Lucy told him bluntly.

He deflated a little, "Yes ma'am."

Lisanna and Mira giggled.

Levy smiled, "Erza aside, Lucy-nee is considered the strongest woman in Fairy Tail, while Erza, Mira, and Brandish are known as "The Strong Female Trio."

"Yeah, now those three can do some serious damage when they get serious." Gajeel agreed.

Wendy nodded in agreement, "I haven't see Brandish-san get serious in a fight yet."

"Neither have a I." Carla said.

"All three of them are equally powerful. I would never want to fight them." Juvia said.

"As far as the guys it's a tough call that I'd put my money on Mystogan and…him." Jet frowned.

"The five of them work well together and have the best team chemistry in all of Fairy Tail." Mira smiled no longer crying.

"I gotta say I'm pretty psyched to see how this fight turns out." Elfman smiled.

"Oh yeah? I'm sure she'll end up mopping the floor with him." Gray said.

"Its been quiet awhile since we've squared off like this, hasn't it Natsu?" Erza asked.

"I was just a little kid back then. Today's gonna be different. Cause I'm taking you down Erza." Natsu declared.

Erza closed her eyes; "Well I'm not going to go easy on you," she said getting ready to requip into one of her armors, "In fact. I have the perfect armor for this occasion." She transformed into on her armors that would perfect for going against Natsu, "Entei no Yoroi (Flame Empress Armor)!"

"That's flame empress armor. Good choice against fire magic." Macao said.

"So now Natsu's flames will only be half as effective." Laki explained.

"Come on Erza at least give the kid a fighting chance." Wakaba said.

"Should be interesting to see how Natsu handles this." Lucy observed.

Happy was over by Cana placing bets, "Hmmm, put me down for Erza in the first round."

Yukino sweat-dropped, "Happy-sama…"

"Some loyalty." Brandish snorted.

Natsu grinned, "Wow, flame empress armor huh? Good news for me," he lit his fists on fire, "That I can turn the heat as high as I want to!"

"Round one start!" Makarov announced.

Natsu charged at Erza who dodged out of the way the swung her sword at him. He ducked so the flame blade wouldn't hit him. Natsu then sent a flaming kick at her prompting her to block it with her sword. She swung at him again only for him to jump back. To avoid getting hit.

Erza charged at him while Natsu sent a fire dragon's roar at her making her move out of the way.

"Impressive." Yukino complimented.

Elfman smirked, "See? Told ya I'd be a good fight."

Gray frowned, "This fight sucks."

The two mages charged at each other once again but a loud clap was heard stopping both mages in their tracks making them look over to see who it was that stopped their fight.

"This fight is over," a humanoid frog wearing robes announced walking towards the two mages, "May I have your attention please, I have come here on behalf of the magic council!"

Levy's eye's widened, "No way!"

Gajeel grunted in annoyance.

"Seriously?" Jet said.

"Why would the council send her here?" Droy wondered.

The humanoid frog brought out along piece of paper, "As a result of the Eisenwald incident, a member of your guild has been charged with eleven counts criminal property damage…Erza Scarlet! You are under arrest!"

"Huh?! You're putting her under a what?!" Natsu yelled.

Lucy narrowed her eyes, 'That brat is really testing my patience.'

"This isn't fair you guys! Let me outta here already!" they heard someone yell.

Mira frowned at the voice, "Natsu! Try to calm down."

Natsu was transformed into a red lizard on the bar counter right next to Brandish and Yukino.

"Let me out! Let me out!" he yelled.

Mira shook her head, "No. You'll go on a rampage!"

"No I won't I swear! Now please just let me out! Let me back to the way I was before!" Natsu yelled.

Mira gave him a disapproving look, "The second we turn you back you'll run off to save Erza."

"Mira-nee's right." Lisanna agreed.

He looked at her, "Give me a break! I couldn't care less what happens to her!"

"Even if you wanted to help her its not like we can face off against the council." Gray frowned.

"But Erza didn't do anything!" Natsu yelled.

He looked away, "If the magic council says your guilty then your guilty end of story. They don't care what we have to say."

"I just don't get it. We've destroyed plenty of stuff in the past and they never made a big deal out of it." Elfman said.

"I know. It doesn't make any sense." Laki agreed.

"There's probably another reason for it, but since Lucy went with her I'm sure it'll be fine." Brandish assured them.

"That's right, Lucy-sama did go along with her." Yukino smiled.

Mira smiled nervously, "I forgot…the magic Council is afraid of her."

"Gihihi, Bunny Girl's about to tear them down." Gajeel grinned.

"I actually feel sorry for them…just a little though." Levy said.

Lucy and Erza arrived at the Magic Council HQ the blonde warned them if they put those magic cuffs on Erza they will be punished severely. Knowing this was the woman who took down God Serena they obeyed. The two females walked down the hall only to be met with Siegrain who had a smirk plastered on his face.

"Erza, First Wizard Saint. I wasn't expecting you to come here." He said honestly.

"Obviously, but I'm here anyway." Lucy stated.

Erza looked in between them, what was with the atmosphere around these two? Did something happen?

Siegrain chuckled at the red heads confused expression, "I wouldn't worry about why you're here, it's just a couple of old farts trying to display their power."

"You mean arrogance." Lucy corrected.

"Perhaps." He said.

Erza narrowed her eyes at him, "This was your idea wasn't it?"

"And if it was?"

Erza gave him a hateful glare.

"Erza, come." Lucy said walking inside the room the red head following after her leaving him there.

He smirked at the blonde retreating figure, "Very soon, the plan will commence."

Yukino shifted nervously, "Master, shouldn't we go and support Erza-sama?"

"We're not going to court." He told her.

"But why?"

"Even if we left this very second there's no way we'd make it there in time." He explained.

"I've been stuck in this stupid glass all day guys its getting hard to breathe come one you've gotta let me outta here!" Natsu yelled.

"You sure you want out?" Makarov questioned.

The red lizard froze and though about it for a second making Brandish sigh, "You can cut the act now Macao, grandpa knows its you." She lifted the glass cup from the counter and the red lizard was surrounded in a puff of smoke.

Macao was sitting on the table with his hand behind his head smiling sheepishly.

"Its is Macao!" Levy yelled in surprise.

"That was you?!" Elfman and Laki questioned.

A blush showed in his cheeks, "Yeah sorry guys, but I owed Natsu a favor. I turned myself into a salamander so that everybody would think I was him.

"Do you two know where he went?" Mira asked.

"Uh…" Macao hesitated.

Gray went up to him, "He went after Erza didn't he?"

Macao nodded, "Yeah, afraid so."

"You've gotta kidding me?! That idiot will probably try to fight the whole council!" Elfman yelled.

"Will everyone calm down! We have no choice but to wait and see what happens," Makarov said.

Brandish smiled, "Should be fun."

Yukino wasn't so sure.

Lucy whacked Natsu upside the head with her book making him wince, "Ow! That hurt Luce~" he whined.

"Shut up brat, count your blessing you and Erza are not spending the night in prison for that little stunt of yours." Lucy stated.

"Anue's right, words can't express how angry I am with you. That trial was just a formality!" Erza glared.

"Seriously?" Natsu said.

"It's a glorified spectacle. The council is using me as an example to remind everyone that if you break the law you'll be punished! It helps them maintain order in the magical world." She explained.

"More like showing off their arrogance, they've lost their way a long time ago. Sooner or later that arrogance will get them killed." Lucy said.

"Wait a minute. So this is all for show?" Natsu questioned.

"They probably would have found me guilty then sent me home with just a slap on the wrist." Erza told him.

"Oh…" Natsu said slowly.

"I can't believe you." she groaned.

"I'm sorry…" Natsu apologized.

Lucy ran her fingers through his hair making him close his eyes, "You meant well Natsu, so it's fine. Come, we're going now."

The two wizards wasted no time in following after her, unknown to them Siegrain was watching them leave, "I see, a Fairy Tail wizard came to he aid. Natsu Dragneel." He murmured.

Lucy arrived with both Erza and Natsu then explained things to Makarov and the other the next morning seeing as how some were curious to know what happened.

Gray put his fist in her palm, "So she wasn't a sacrificial lamb, but a scape goat!"

Elfman looked at him, "You must be one heck of an ice wizard cause even your jokes leave me cold. Hey Natsu! You gonna finish going man to man with Erza?!"

"Oh yeah I forgot about that!" Natsu grinned looking at Erza, "So what do ya say wanna pick up where we left off?!"

Erza put down her mug; "I'm not in the mood right now."

His fist caught on fire and charged at her, "I'm not letting you off the hook that easy!"

She sighed, "I swear." Getting up she punch him right in his gut making him fall over.

Yukino winced while Brandish smiled at his plight while Gray and Elfman gaped.

"How's that? Are you satisfied?" Erza asked a down for the count Natsu.

"And he's out!" Happy announced.

Gray and Elfman laughed at him.

"Way to go champ!" Gray laughed at him.

"Guess we know who the real man is!" Elfman laughed.

Makarov began to rub his eyes getting Mira's attention, "Is everything okay Master?"

"Yes…I'm just feeling a little sleepy." He said. No sooner had he said that everyone except for Lucy and Brandish began to fall asleep.

Lucy sighed, "Looks like he's here."

Brandish nodded.

All three heard footsteps and saw it was a man wearing a mask and a cloak, the mask covering his appearance. He went over to the request board and ripped off a job request.

Mystogan walked over to them then bowed his head to Lucy, "It's been awhile."

"Yes it has, nice to see your doing well, brat." Lucy said.

"Brandish." He gave her a curt nod.

"Mystogan." She greeted.

Mystogan looked at Makarov, "I shall return."

Makarov nodded, "Lift your sleeping spell before you leave."

"Five…Four…Three…Two…One." He finished as he walked out of the building.

Everyone soon woke up as soon as he left.

"What a jerk." Someone else said.

"Does he have to put us to sleep every time he comes here?" Levy asked.

"Guys a real pain in the ass when he does that…" Gajeel groaned.

Wendy rubbed her eyes, "Why does he always put us to sleep?"

"Juvia doesn't know." Juvia yawned.

"Excuse me, but who is Mystogan?" Yukino asked.

"He's an S-Class mage like Erza, Mira, and Brandish. He always puts us to sleep just because he doesn't want anybody to see his face. Master, Lucy, and Brandish are the only people here that's gotten a good look at his face."

"That's not true. I've seen his face before." Laxus smirked from above them.

"Laxus!" Elfman gasped.

"Talk about rare. Your never here." Wakaba commented.

Gray glared at him, "Then there's him."

"Who's he?" Yukino asked.

"Laxus, another S-Class mage." Gray said.

Laxus grinned, "Mystogan's just a little shy. You should all respect his privacy."

Yukino frowned, "He's not very polite is he?"

Gray snorted, "Him and politeness don't mix."

Natsu glared at him not liking his tone, "Alright Laxus! You and me right now!"

"Getting your butt kicked once today wasn't enough?" Gray questioned.

Laxus grinned down at him, "Yeah pal. If you cant even win against the red head. Why bother with me?"

Erza glared at him murderously, "What're you trying to say?" she growled.

Gray tried to calm her down, "No need to get all worked up Erza." He said nervously.

"I'm saying that I'm the guilds strongest wizard." Laxus said arrogantly.

Natsu growled at him, "Then come down here and prove it."

Laxus smirked at him, "You come to me little man."

"With pleasure!" Natsu said running up to reach him forcing Makarov to slam him down with a giant fist.

"Your not allowed on the second floor Natsu. At least not yet."

Laxus laughed at him, "Think you made him grumpy."

Makarov frowned at him, "That's enough out of you Laxus!"

"The most powerful one in the guild isn't a chick, or some green haired weirdo, or blondie, or some hooded weirdo. You wanna know what the strongest wizard looks like? You're looking right at 'em!" Laxus bragged.

"Be silent you ill mannered brat," Lucy said, "I'm not in the mood for your stupidity today."

Brandish sighed, "Why are the stupid ones always so annoying?"

Lightning cackled around Laxus, "What was that?"

She rolled her eyes, "Don't even bother, you're not even worth the time nor the effort."

"Indeed." Lucy agreed.

"You asking to get electrocuted?" he growled.

Lucy had lost all patience, "I said be silent." She released her magic energy around the guild making everyone sweat and shiver in fear, "I have already given you a warning, I will not ask another time. Be silent, or I will make you silent."

Laxus had a hard time breathing having felt her magic energy at full force, seeing him get the hint she let up on it making everyone sigh in relief, "Begone." She said.

Laxus glared one more time at Lucy then stormed off promising revenge.

Yukino felt nervous, "What…was that?"

"What you felt just now was Anue's magic energy," Erza told her, "She only displays it whenever she feels anger towards those who deserve it the most."

"This isn't the first time Laxus pissed her off," Gray commented, "A few years ago Laxus got pissed because she was named the 1st Wizard Saint and not him so he attacked her with Wendy standing next to her."

"That's horrible!" Yukino gasped.

"Aniki made a shield to keep them both safe, but she wasn't too happy thrilled with his little tamper tantrum and sent him flying into a wall." Gray recalled shuddering at the memory, he had never seen her so angry before and wouldn't want to see it ever again.

Erza nodded.

Yukino still couldn't believe it, well that explains why Wendy hid behind Gajeel as soon as he appeared.

Back at the bar Makarov sighed, "I just don't know what I'm going to do with that boy."

"I could always shrink him and make him my doll." Brandish suggested.

Lisanna smiled weakly, "I don't think that's a good idea…"

"It would teach the brat some manners." Lucy agreed.

"Lucy-nee!" Lisanna cried out.

"I'm almost tempted into letting you do it…almost." He emphasized.

Brandish stuck her tongue out while Lucy got up from her seat going up the stairs on the S-Class level to catch a certain cat trying to steal something, "And what do you think your doing?"

Happy flinched and froze, "Nothing!" he squeaked.

"I'm sure." Lucy gave him a skeptical look before taking the paper away in his hand, "Galuna Island is it?"

"Aye…" Happy looked dejected.

Lucy read it over and saw that a black key was paired with the reward money, "Happy, go and get Natsu, Yukino, Gray, Brandish, and Erza. Your all going on this job with me."

Happy perked right back up, "Really?! You mean it?!"

"Yes, now go." Lucy told him.

"Aye!" He flew off with excitement.

Lucy merely watched him fly away before turning her attention to Gray, "I'm afraid you cannot avoid this confrontation Gray, for this was predicted by the stars."

Natsu was grinning from ear to ear, "Oh yeah! We're going on an S-Class mission!"

"Aye, sir!" Happy smiled.

They were currently in Hargeon at the port needing a boat to get to Galuna Island.

"This isn't a game, Natsu. S-Class missions are to be taken seriously." Erza chided.

Yukino looked at Lucy in curiosity, "Is there a reason you wanted all of us to come with you on this mission, Lucy-sama? Surely you can handle this on your own."

Lucy gave them a side glance, "This will be a test to see if you three can handle being on an S-Class mission, I will be in command while Erza and Brandish will be second in command."

"So it's a test to see if we're worthy of being S-Class mages in the near future?" Gray questioned.

"Correct, but that also means you need to take this mission very seriously. S-Class missions can normally lead to death if your not careful." She stated casually.

"It's scary she can say all that like its no big deal." Gray sweat-dropped.

"That's Lucy for ya." Happy smiled.

"But first things first we need to find a boat." Erza looked around the port.

"I'll take ya," a mysterious man came up to them, "I know how to get to Galuna Island, I'll take you there."

"Seriously?! Thanks!" Natsu grinned.

"Yes thank you very much." Yukino bowed.

Lucy observed the man seeing him for what he really is, 'But still, to be able to take human form even though its not very good is still impressive.'

"Hey man thanks for the ride." Gray thanked.

"Yes, your kindness is very much appreciated." Erza added.

The man smiled, "Don't mention it, the names Bobo by the way."

"Then Bobo-sama, may I ask why you're taking us to Galuna Island?" Yukino asked.

Bobo didn't say anything for a few minute but then responded, "I used to live there…on Galuna Island."

"You did?" Happy said.

"But…I had to get out of there! They've all lost their minds! I'm warning you right now, bad things happened to those who step foot on the island. Well, if you can break the curse then everything should go back to normal." He said showing them his deformed arm.

Yukino gasped.

"Your arm!" Gray said.

Brandish narrowed her eyes, "Interesting."

"I take it that the reason your arm is like that is because if the curse?" Erza inquired.

Bobo looked ahead of him ignoring her question, "We've almost arrived…over there is Galuna Island."

Lucy who had Natsu's head on her lap looked over at the Island and sensed a very familiar magic as well as another one of those brats demons, 'So not only is Mūn Dorippu (Moon Drip) being used, but Deriora (Deliora) is here as well, which means Ur is also here.'

"Why is the island glowing like that?" Yukino questioned only to see that Bobo was no longer there.

"He's gone!" Happy looked around.

"He didn't fall down did he?" Gray wondered.

"Doubt it." Brandish said.

"I don't sense him anywhere, where did he go?" Erza said.

Gray heard a strange noise and looked to see a giant wave coming right at them, "Uh…Erza?"

"Giant wave!" Happy yelled.

"What do we do?" Yukino yelled.

Lucy snapped her fingers making the wave disperse instantly calming the others down.

"One of these days you've gotta teach me that." Gray smiled.

Lucy looked at him, "I have taught you something…remember?"

He smirked knowing what she meant, but the others were confused but didn't question it any further seeing as how they've arrive to the island.

Lucy pulled Natsu's cheeks, "Wake up, brat. We're here."

Natsu yelped when she hit him upside the head, but said nothing else, "We will stay here for the night. Everyone go to sleep, we will find the village elder in the morning."

They all nodded too tired so say anything and one by one they started lying down in the sand passed out.

Lucy stared up at the sky sill able to feel the magic residue from earlier, 'Is this also part of fate I wonder?'

By morning they were already heading towards the village where the elder would be then they can finally get this job started. When nighttime fell they finally made it.

There was a big "Keep Out" sign when they arrived.

"Well, we did end up finding the place. But now what?" Gray wondered.

"When they say "keep out," they really mean it." Natsu observed.

"Excuse me, is anyone here?! We're Fairy Tail wizards here for the request!" Yukino called out.

There was no answer.

Natsu cracked his knuckles, "That's it, we're busting in!"

Erza and Lucy whacked him upside the head for that, "Shut up, brat." Lucy said. Just then two guards appeared above the gate.

"Who goes there?!"

Erza answered for them, "We're wizards from Fairy Tail here at your request!"

"Then why weren't we notified when you accepted the job?!"

Brandish was starting to get bored, "Are you going to let us in or not? We can always leave and let you deal with this yourselves."

"Brandish!" Erza frowned.

"Let me see you emblems, right now!" the guard demanded.

They all showed him their emblems prompting him to let them inside the village. Walking inside they saw the people had covered up different body parts of themselves.

Lucy found it interesting, 'They must not know what they really are.'

A short old man approached, "I'm Moka the village chief, I welcome you to our village. But before we get down to business there is something you need to see." He gestured to his people to show them.

The people of the village took off the fabric hiding some of their bodies to reveal demon like qualities just like with Bobo.

Yukino covered her mouth with both hands, "How horrible."

"It's just like what happened to that Bobo guy." Gray observed.

"Interesting…" Erza said.

Brandish simply stared.

"Nice sideburns!" Natsu complimented.

Moka shook his head, "My sideburns aren't the problem, its my arm. Every villager is suffering from the same disfigurement because of this wretched curse."

"So, your really saying this is curse is the cause of all this?" Gray questioned.

"I am sure young man, this didn't start until the moon started falling under an evil spell. Let me explain, you see this island has absorbed the light of the moon allowing it to glow as beautiful as the very moon itself. But that all changed several years ago when the moon changed an eerie color." Moka explained.

Lucy couldn't help but sighed inwardly, 'Ur's other brat is truly a handful.'

"So, basically the moon turns purple?" Natsu said.

Happy looked up at the sky, "Ah, the clouds are moving!"

"Yes, and it would appear the moon's glow truly is purple." Lucy stared.

"It's the curse…" Moka shuddered, "Stand back!" they all saw the people of the village changed into demons.

"Look at them…their changing." Gray stared.

"Is this really the curse?" Yukino questioned.

Erza and Brandish's eyes narrowed as they finished transforming.

"Why's this happening?" Natsu's eyes widened.

Moka spoke as soon as they were done transforming, "I apologize if our forms frighten you."

"Its not really all that frightening." Gray commented.

Yukino nodded.

"You guys look awesome!" Natsu grinned.

The villagers stared at him dumbly, "Huh?"

"You gotta admit you guys look pretty cool! You've got horns and stuff! I'm kinda jealous!" Natsu grinned.

Lucy gave him a side glance, 'This brat, he has horns himself but doesn't realize it.'

The villagers were taken back by the compliment but it soon faded when the chief coughed into his hand, "Anyway, we need your help in removing this curse, and there's only one way to do that."

"Yeah, and what's that?" Natsu questioned.

Moka gave them a serious look, "Destroy the moon."

"He's not serious is he? I mean destroying the moon?" Gray said sitting on the floor.

"I must admit that I find that to be an impossible task." Erza admitted.

"I don't think there's a wizard alive who can destroy the moon." Yukino commented.

"I wonder." Brandish commented.

Lucy looked up at the moon with Natsu's head on her lap snoring while Happy curled up next to him, "In the past, there were those who tried to destroy the moon using various magical weapons. But their efforts were all for naught."

"Seriously? There were people that were actually trying to destroy the moon?" Gray's eyes went wide.

"Yes…however, like I said their efforts were all for naught." Lucy repeated.

"Amazing…it's the same situation but different circumstances." Yukino commented.

Brandish nodded in agreement.

"Why were they trying to destroy the moon?" Erza questioned.

Lucy closed her eyes, "To try and prove that they simply could, that's all."

Natsu had opened his eyes having sensed her mood but closed them back so she wouldn't notice.

"Get some sleep brats, because you'll need it." Lucy told them not even bothering to look behind her.

'Deliora was frozen elsewhere. That other brat brought it here to possibly wake it up…and there is only one method to do that,' she gave Gray a side glance, 'Will you face the confrontation head on, or will you turn away?'

Morning came in a flash and the group began walking towards one of the temples Lucy asked Moka about.

"So we're going to a temple?" Yukino questioned.

Lucy didn't look behind her, "It is known as the Temple of the Moon."

"That's kinda ironic." Gray stated.

"The moon causing them problems turns out to have its very own temple." Erza said.

"How amusing." Brandish smiled.

Natsu yawned, "Why did we have to get up so early?"

"Aye…" Happy yawned.

Gray rolled his eyes, "You sleep too much and need to get your lazy ass up early anyway."

"Shut up stripper!" Natsu glared.

"What'd you say?!" Gray glared back.

Erza smashed their heads together, "That's enough!"

"Aye…" they groaned.

Brandish stopped walking in her tracks, "Something's coming…and its big."

Lucy stopped as well, "So it seems."

Yukino looked up having sensed a large shadow loom over them and froze in place, "W-What is that?!"

"Is that…a giant rat?!" Gray's eyes bulged out of his head.

Erza requiped two swords, "Looks like it was waiting for us to come."

"Huge!" Happy yelled.

The rat looked like it was about to attack but before it could Lucy snapped her fingers shrinking it to the size of a normal rat much to the creatures confusion, she picked it up and placed it in a small jar before plopping it inside but made sure to poke a hole in it so it wouldn't suffocate, "I have no patience to deal with you, so behave yourself and stay in there." She put the jar down next to a tree and continued walking.

Brandish chuckled, "Her patience is running out."

"No kidding." Gray stated.

They walked a little more before they finally found the temple and walked inside. Once they were inside the temple they noticed there were a bunch of moon symbols all over the walls.

"There are so many moon patterns." Yukino observed.

"Naturally, this island was once known as the island of the moon before it was named Galuna Island." Lucy informed them.

Erza was thinking about something, "Moon island…moon curse…and moon symbols…there has to be a connection."

"Probably." Brandish agreed.

Natsu was touching the walls, "Man this place is a wreck."

"This temple is old Natsu, so its only natural it would be in such a state but there is something else here that shouldn't be, and its right below us." Lucy told them.

"What do you mean?" Yukino asked.

Lucy didn't answer and instead snapped her fingers teleporting them below the temple much to their surprise.

"What the?" Gray looked around.

"Awesome!" Natsu grinned.

"Aye!" Happy said.

Lucy walked ahead of them prompting the rest to follow after her wondering why she brought them all down here.

"Um, Lucy-sama? Is there something down here?" Yukino wondered.

"Yes."

"What is it, Luce?" Natsu asked.

She said nothing and kept walking until they arrived at a frozen part of the underground temple and saw a giant block of ice.

"What the hell is that?" Natsu stared.

Lucy stared up at it, "Look more closely and you'll see."

They all stared up at it including Gray who started shaking uncontrollably, "That's…impossible!"

"You know what's inside that thing?" Erza questioned.

Gray start hyperventilating until Yukino put a hand on his shoulder calming him down, "Please calm down Gray-sama."

Gray took a deep breath before he managed to speak, "I know what it is, and…" he looked at Lucy, "So does Aniki."

They all looked at Lucy who turned to them fully, "Yes…this is another demon from the Book of Zeref…this one is known as Deliora The Demon of Destruction."

Yukino stared at the demon with fear, "Deliora…"

"Demon of Destruction…?" Natsu couldn't help but feel he heard that name before.

Lucy turned away and stared up at the creature, 'It would appear that fate brought us here to you, Ur. Now then, what will the two half's of your legacy do I wonder?'

"And so…here on Galuna Island…they meet once again."

Memories From 400 years ago

Lucy could feel it.

She was about to go into hibernation.

It wasn't uncommon, it was part of their race. They all must hibernate to maintain their current selves otherwise they'd lose their memories and current selves. That would explain why she was feeling so tired recently. Normally, she would have been in hibernation a long time ago but maybe the time she spent with that annoying brat made her want to stay awake for a little while longer, but now...she can't hold it back anymore. She had to go to sleep. So now she was currently in an old temple wrapped around a yellow cocoon that would soon cover her whole body and make her sleep until it was time to wake up.

"Well...it would appear its time to sleep...you better not cause any trouble while I'm sleeping, you brat." A small smile graced her lips.

When was the last time she ever smiled like this? She could no longer remember.

It had been such a long time.
