Percy woke up late, really really late. It's been a while since he slept in his ship so he fully believed he has every right to sleep in, after his morning rituals he decided to grab a meal at the guild so he leapt from the ship to the port. He entered the guilds backdoors which was located right in front of the self-made port, truth be told he's very excited to challenge Natsu and see how much the dragon slayer improved the past year and a half. After he entered the main bar however it became apparent that he won't be fighting Natsu today.

"Percy!" Makarov called as he entered.

"Master?" he asked.

"I need you to do something for me." Makarov started "Last night Happy stole an S-Class request from the second floor; Natsu and Lucy didn't show up this morning and Grey who I sent to retrieve them this morning hasn't come back yet."

"Which one's missing?" Percy inquired

"The Galuna Island job" Makarov responded.

"It's four in the afternoon now so I'm guessing they just arrived at Hargeon Port, that may be why Grey's not back yet." Percy guessed

"I agree, which is why I would like you to go here early tomorrow morning, and if the three aren't back yet I will send you and Erza out to get them." Makarov answered

"No problem, gramps" Percy smiled at the kind old man before attacking his meal with gusto.

The next day came quickly, as Percy and Erza are preparing the Atlantis to set sail. Their mission is simple, to retrieve Natsu, Lucy, Grey, and Happy and bring them back to the guild to face punishment. It's also the first mission they will be going together since Percy left on the decade quest so the two are having fun just hanging out and trading stories each trying to one up the other. They also have another companion, Nico Di Angelo, who is bearing the insignia of Phantom Lord; Erza had a few misgivings but since Makarov approved she acquiesced.

After a little under twenty minutes the ship had lifted into the air and was on the way to Galuna the cursed Island. Erza is steering the ship as she is the only one who knows where the Island is, while Percy and Nico are talking in Percy's personal quarters.

"What gives Nico?" Percy asked "You surprised me by asking if you can come with."

"I'm on a mission to infiltrate Phantom Lord but Master Hades sent me to Galuna Island to collect one of the keys of Zeref." He answered with a shrug "Ultear is already on the job but she can't act freely because the 'Jellal' dude she's manipulating has eyes almost everywhere."

"What about Phantom?" Percy asked "Won't they be curious as to why you're coming with us?"

"I covered my bases Percy, I told Master Jose that I have a cousin in Fairy Tail and that you, and Erza are going on an S-Class mission, I said this will be a good opportunity to scout your strength and weaknesses." Nico answered

"He bought that?" Percy asked surprised.

"I sold that" Nico answered with a smirk.

Percy just laughed.

"You know the gods made a really good choice sending you to scout the evil dudes." He said as he opened the door to step out on the deck.

"Was there ever any doubt?" Nico answered with a maniacal glint in his eyes.

Natsu was face to face with a small wizard with upward pointing spiky hair and thick eyebrows and a slender dog-like person.

"Wave!" Yuuka, the spikey-haired mage sent a semi-transparent energy shot at Natsu who was preparing to block it with his flames. At the last second Natsu changed his mind and dodged letting the attack to hit the ground behind him.

"Ah, so you noticed what it was." Yuuka said as he sent another shot causing Natsu to dodge again. "The vibrations I create can neutralize any type of magic! In other words magic that is impregnable to magic! While I was in Lamia Scale, I specialized in facing off against other wizards." Yuuka gave Natsu a superior smirk.

"I think you can see why. It's because all wizards are powerless before me!" A sudden explosion of dirt and dust from close by alerted the duo and they turned towards where Tobi, the dog-like person, was standing. The dust soon cleared to show Percy standing on Tobi's head and the latter face-down buried about half an inch, the ground cracked and displaced from the force Percy smashed Tobi in the ground with.

"What?!" Yuuka has nothing else to say, while Natsu was ecstatic.

"Percy! Oh, I'm so happy gramps sent you and not Erza!" Natsu shouted.

"Natsu," Percy spoke "smash that guy's face in and let's go." He ended with a smile.

"Alright!" Natsu shouted as he engaged Yuuka.

Natsu then inhaled a huge amount of air.

"Fire Dragon's Roar!" He unleashed a massive funnel of flames headed towards Yuuka, however it was blocked pretty easily with a semi-transparent wave wall. It did provide an excellent distraction though as after the flame dissipated the former Lamia Scale mage was shocked by how close Natsu has gotten. The son of Igneel launched a punch towards the wave wall which easily penetrated it stopping just short of Yuuka's face.

"So you're weakness is if your opponent doesn't use magic" Natsu has an excited grin on his face looking forward to pounding the opposing mage.

"It's not a good idea to shove your arm into a magic vacuum!" Yuuka announced as Natsu's arm started to be assaulted by the vibration in Yuuka's wave.

"This cancels magic right? So it will be okay for me to use magic outside!" Natsu roared as a blaze starts to blast from his arms elbow

"You're using flames as a booster?!" Yuuka panicked

"Fire Dragon's Flaming Elbow!" With the added force of the spell Natsu's fist and arms easily smashed through the wave wall smashing Yuuka in the face and dropping him to sweet oblivion.

"That was anti-climactic," Percy told him. "Now listen up, Erza's with me…" Before he can finish Natsu screamed in fear and used his flames to boost his speed running away from the S-Class Mage.

Percy couldn't hold back a laugh.

"Well guess I should go back to Erza, and not tell her Natsu got away." Percy finished with a gulp and an uneasy laugh.

Percy was assigned Natsu duty, Erza was in the village with a tied-up Lucy and Happy waiting for Grey to wake up; meanwhile Percy has caught Natsu and demanded an explanation of the events.

"Natsu, I want you to go in the temple and smash everything in the left side. If you can tilt the temple then the moonlight should not reach the demon anymore." Percy told the dragon slayer.

"What about you?" Natsu asked.

"I'll go find the guy that injured Grey and keep him busy." Percy answered.

"Aye!" Natsu shouted and ran in glee excited for more destruction. Percy extended his senses around the temple; the first thing he felt was the demon's aura. It's not as strong as it should be but it still seemed to be pretty powerful, the life aura of the monster is being sapped slowly by the ice enveloping it. In fact it has taken so much that given a little magical push Percy can collect the ice and restore it to its human form. He pushed past the demon's aura and searched for the next powerful magical source, it felt like a woman enveloped by a shroud of mist, probably a disguise, it has two magic as well; one felt like Grey's, the second feels a little like Kronos'. Right beside it is a magic so much like Grey, but instead of the comfortable, coolness of snow; it felt like a blizzard, purpose driven, volatile, destructive. Believing he found his opponents Percy gathered the mist and travelled to the room where the two seems to be.

The moment he appeared he laughed at the dumbstruck face of the two, with the sight ability he gained when he hosted the vulture goddess Nekhbet (road kill breath). He saw a beautiful woman encased in a semi-transparent avatar of an old man and a sharped eyed man a little older than Grey with light blue hair.

"Who are you?!" The blue-haired man demanded.

"Seriously man, don't you have any originality?" Percy asked.

"I don't have time for this." The man stated as he formed his magic.

"Ice Make: Eagle!" A flock of eagle shaped ice statues flew towards Percy. The latter merely used his battle-honed demigod reflexes and leaned away from the path of the birds. He saw the small smirk the man had on his face so Percy expected that the eagles are capable of live movement and should be circling back to him. Deciding to show-off a little, he gathered magic and gave a small pulse travelling outside from him. The old man leapt back, detecting the pulse is powerful enough to erase her disguise and manipulated the time of the ceiling to crumble and form a rock barrier in front of her. The eagles were not so fortunate and they shattered when the pulse passed over them while their creator had to brace himself in order to not get pushed back.

The blue-haired man's eyes were wide this guy in-front of him just manipulated pure magic, with neither gesture nor spell, only using the force of his will; not even Ul was able to achieve such power. The old man was in a similar state, after using her magic to repair the crumbled roof; she was in awe with the sheer magnitude this man's presence is exuding. This must be the person Nico warned them about, his cousin, another child of the Gods.

"My destiny, is about to be fulfilled." Lyon spoke a tad hysterical "No one will stop me!" screaming to the heavens, he charged another spell, his hand outstretched towards Percy.

"Ice Make: Ape!" an eight foot tall, magically created gorilla of Ice, charged towards Percy intending to smash him. Charging magic into his body while he reared back a fist, Percy blocked the ice creation's punch with one of his own effectively shattering it in one hit.

"You don't care how many people you hurt, just for your selfishness, for your foolishness." Percy said.

"You cannot make an omelette without beating a few eggs," Lyon answered "for my dream I would sacrifice everything!"

"Ice Make: Snow Dragon!" A massive dragon made of ice surged towards Percy, while the latter pumped magic into his legs, and dodged the dragon's attack fully aiming to strike Lyon. Instead of that however, a burst of fire blasted from the floor, demolished the dragon's head, and passed straight through to the ceiling. As the ice construct's body disappeared, Natsu Dragneel leaped through the hole his blaze created.

"Natsu," Percy started. "I'll leave this guy to you; he's not even worth fighting." He said as he turned around preparing to jump into the hole.

"What?!" Lyon screamed, insulted by Percy's words

"And, what are you gonna do?" Natsu asked.

Percy pointed towards the disguised old man.

"That guy can reverse the time of things, he can easily restore the temple from the damage you did which means we can't stop them resurrecting Deliora with the moonlight, so I'm gonna revert that ice to its human form and destroy the trapped demon once and for all." Lyon and the old man's eyes were wide at what he just said; they could do nothing but watch as Percy leapt into the hole towards the basement.

"Reitei-sama, by your leave I would follow him and make sure he does no such thing" the old-man said

"Go ahead Zalty" answered Lyon "I'm going to pummel this dragon slayer"

Percy waited for the masked wizard right in front of the demon.

"So this was a ploy to lure me down?" the old-man asked.

"Drop the illusion it's not fooling me lady." Percy answered. The old-man removed the mask and his form was bathed in light before shifting into the beautiful woman Percy saw under the mist.

"My, my, how long have you known?" the young lady asked.

"Since I appeared in front of you and that poor misguided person," Percy answered "I also know that you're not his underling, you're only pretending to be."

"You're sharper than you look."

"I have experience in that stuff."

"Now that you got me here, what exactly do you want?"

"To ask a favour from you, restore the village" Percy said staring straight to the woman's eyes.

"What's in it for me?"

"I'll restore the demon for you."

Whatever Ultear was expecting, it certainly wasn't that. Her eyes went wide with her mouth hanging slightly opened.

"Why?" she asked after she finally found her voice.

"This demon that you're trying to resurrect is already dead, the ice has sapped its life force to the point that one punch would make it crumble to pieces. I don't want to be forced into beating you to a pulp; I want to limit the bloodshed as much as possible."

The two just looked at each other's eyes trying to detect whether there's any deceit in the other. All of a sudden, moonlight started raining on the demon again and the ice began to crumble.

'This is bad; if the ice melts the life force inside will seep into the air and I'll no longer be able to return her form. If I free the demon now then about three quarters of its power will be returned from the ice and I'll be fighting a massive demon while running on empty.' Percy thought.

He was about to launch himself towards Ultear when the woman spoke.

"Very well, I'll agree to your terms. I am Ultear Milkovich, a woman of my word. I'll see you again soon." Ultear said as her disguise reformed around her and she sped out towards the village.

Percy stood in front of the demon his eyes closed his hands splayed on his side palms up. He caused the ethernano in the air, in the ice, and in the moonlight themselves to circle the demon. Three magic circles appeared one after the other in front of Percy, one on the ground, one suspended in the air and another right in front of him in a vertical position. First he gathered the mist to create a vaguely humanoid body. He then gathered the life force from the ice to gather its own memories creating the fine details on the body; he separated the malevolent life force from the benign to avoid creating a fusion of the monster and human. He succeeded in dispersing some of the malevolent force in the air but he can only concentrate on multiple tasks for so long, most of the magic having nowhere to go returned to the beast that's slowly waking. He wasn't even halfway complete and he's already expended most of his magic in his body, melding the soul from the Ice to the magically created body would need more potent power. Percy tapped into the godly reserve that was stored deep within his soul. His outline glowed green the slits of his closed eyes displaying the colour indicating that his eyes are glowing too. After the ice disappeared completely and the water from the melted ice half flowed into the body and half flowed into the ocean, Percy removed his cloak and covered the woman lying unconscious in front of him as naked as the day she was born; which seems apt seeing as she had just been reborn in the world again.

Percy dropped on his knees his magical core depleted; he was feeling a little warm after tapping into so much godly power. He was about to congratulate himself from his successful restoration when a massive roar woke up his foggy mind, he looked up and only had one though running in his mind.

'Schist!'

He saved Grey's master but he has awoken the monster and he's in no position to fight it.

"Deliora! What, how is he alive?" He vaguely heard Grey's surprised shout, Natsu's announcement of fighting it, Erza's call to action, and Lucy's frightened squeals; but he heard them still. He's friends are right in this place, in front of a monster they can't hope to fight, all because he failed to disperse the monsters' life force, because of his failure. Anger and determination burned through his veins, he concentrated on acquiring the remaining magic in the air, manipulating the ethernano to enter him and slowly refill his container.

With another massive roar the monster cocked back its fist and struck the first moving creatures it saw; Natsu, Grey, and Happy.

"Ice Make: Shield!" It didn't help as the massive fist broke the shield like hammer on glass. It would have killed the three Fairy Tail mages had the fist not stopped inches from striking them, still the force of the wind was powerful enough to send them flying.

"Percy!" Erza's surprise shout caused everyone present to look up and see the S-Class mage hold back the demon's wrist wrapping his arms around it. Pumping magic to enhance his strength, Percy reared back and threw the monster straight up, demolishing the temple above and launching it high into the air.

Percy braced his legs and forced his magic to propel him after the creature. He gathered every bit of magic left in his body and forced it into his fist, driving his magic empowered punch deep in the creatures gut and sent it spiralling in the air landing with a crash on the island. Out of magic Percy fell to the earth, he felt himself land on something soft as he struggled to open his eyes and see Erza in her Heaven's Wheel Armour as they fly towards the ground when Percy finally passed out.

Nico watched Erza save Percy from being a man shaped pancake, and shook his head, his loyalty will be the end of him. A loud roar interrupted his thoughts though as the demon Deliora stood up and charged towards Percy's group. Nico can feel Ultear nearby observing the power of Deliora, she's sure to tell Hades of whatever magic Nico pulls to stop this monster. Deliora is a hundred meters and closing from the downed Percy, Nico mentally praises the Fairy Tail wizards for standing unflinchingly in front of the monster attempting to shield Percy as Erza, Natsu, and Grey stands side by side and Lucy although whimpering has gathered his cousin's snoozing body in her arms. Annabeth would kill her if she ever finds out, that or she'd thank her. Deliora inhales a gust of air and launch a yellow laser beam from its mouth to blow up the fairies, in a split second Nico appeared in front of the group and charged a spell Percy will tease him for recreating. A semi-transparent avatar of a giant half-bodied skeleton warrior appeared, its ribs surrounding Nico, and pale-purple ghost fire erupted around the creature. The magical beam struck the guardian and the ghost fire around it flared even more as it burned through the creature's magic attack.

The Fairy Tail wizards jaw dropped at the sight of the magnificent magic; Natsu, Lucy, and Grey are questioning who is the young boy showing so much power, and Erza, surprised at Nico's power, realized why Percy was more than happy to have Nico to watch his back. Deliora's attack ceased as Nico's avatar raised its left arm and grew a colossal blade, it struck Deliora once but the beast was fast for its size, it dodged the blade and shoulder tackled Nico's construct almost dispelling it. Nico's avatar lashed out a brutal uppercut sending the monster flying a hundred metres.

"Go, blondie protect the village! Take the cat you too will be of more use there" Nico shouted, dispelling his spell "Pinkie, Icey, you guys are with me; Red guard Percy!"

"What are you planning?" Erza asked.

"I'll call the magic on the air to restore Percy" he answered.

Natsu and Grey screamed in delight and affirmation as they took off towards the demon, Happy picked up Lucy and flew to the village complaining about her weight the entire time.

"Don't die," Nico reminded "Percy will kill me if you do!"

Titania Erza stepped a few metres in front of Nico and requipped to her adamantine armour prepared to block heavy attacks.

Nico laid his hands on Percy; one on his forehead, another on his chest. He focused on the magic in the air and started pulling them into his body; using his body simply as a conductor he pushed the magic entering his body down through his hands to Percy. He also poured in a little of his own godly essence to speed up the process. Nico stood up and let go feeling the magic in the air already being siphoned by Percy. He discarded his cloak revealing multiple belts on his person with holsters for his numerous pitch black daggers; Erza grinned at his armour as Nico pulled one of his daggers and activated the shadow Lacrima he had embedded into it. The young demigod tossed the dagger in the general direction of where he can hear Natsu and Grey fighting with Deliora, he gave a few seconds before he melted into the shadow of a tree and reappeared where his dagger landed. Nico smiled at his genius, the shadow Lacrima embedded in the daggers allowed him to maximize the use of his shadow travelling, when the dagger lands it jostle the Lacrima and allows it to pour shadows on the blade and the ground surrounding the blade. Nico pulled the dagger from the ground and looked up.

He's still amazed at the destructive power of this demon, Natsu and Grey are doing no damage at all and they have to keep moving or they would suffer a terrible injury with just one hit. The son of Hades gathered green hell fire in one hand allowing it to burn strong and bright until it reached the size of a basketball and threw it to the demon like a baseball. It struck head on and although the impact didn't affect the demon the flames sheer burning power caused the demon to roar in pain. Natsu and Grey landed beside him admiring the monster's cries.

"I want to eat those flames" Natsu told him.

"Maybe another time" Nico waved his hand in dismissal "right now we have a demon to slay"

Grey went into the traditional ice make stance and gathered his magic while cold arctic air pooled around him.

"Ice Make: Lance!" multiple lances made if ice shot towards the burning demon, at the same time Deliora pulsed his power to annihilate the flames. The shockwave sputtered out the flames and shattered the lances as it passed.

"That's pathetic you ice princess" Natsu taunted as he launched himself in the air with his powerful legs.

"What was that you squinty eyed bastard!" Grey shouted after him.

"Fire Dragon's Roar!" Natsu launched his spell towards Deliora who at the present has a great hatred of flames, the Demon swiped the flames and they dissipated, he then slapped the dragon slayer towards the ground.

Natsu made quite the crater, Grey on the other hand charged even more magic.

"Ice Make: Freeze Lancer!" larger ice lances towards the demon again, they hit their target dead on but merely shattered on Deliora's tough hide.

The monster took a deep breath once more and fired a laser beam towards the mages, Nico wasted no time as he created a sphere of raging shadows two feet in diameter and hurled it at the beam. He then threw two daggers each on right beside Grey and Natsu and another dagger was thrown behind Deliora. Nico grabbed Grey and they disappeared above the shadow of the dagger, a hand reached out from the shadow of the dagger near Natsu and dragged the dragon slayer into the darkness. Merely a moment later they appeared from the shadow behind Deliora. Not a moment too soon as the laser breath and the raging shadows met in a massive explosion, meanwhile Nico threw two daggers towards Deliora one stabbed the shoulder and another in the lower back near the spine. When the explosion subsided and Natsu and Grey recovered from the unexpected shadow travel Nico leaped into the air with magic enhanced strength and threw around twenty daggers all landing around the demon, Nico used magic to propel him in the air and he surged towards the demon just as it turned around. Nico landed a massive kick to his face but the demon didn't even flinch.

"Ice Make: Saucer!" three spinning ice disks of destruction flew towards the demon which once more merely shattered on its skin.

"Fire Dragon's Wing beat!" two whips of fire struck the demon multiple times however they weren't strong enough to do much damage. Nico stepped into the nearest shadow and appeared beside Natsu; Nico created another massive sphere of green hell fire and handed it over to Natsu.

"Eat this" he merely said.

Not needing to be told a second time, Natsu started to suck the flames on Nico's hands which swirl into a vortex and flew towards his mouth. Nico then shadow travelled again in front or Deliora and slammed his hands in the ground.

"Divine Earth: Obsidian Arms!" multiple arms made of smooth black rock shot from the ground and grabbed the demon in an attempt to keep it immobile.

"Ice Make: Chains!" Grey saw what Nico was trying to do and created multiple chains made of ice all of which wrapped around the monster being held by Nico's magic, which made an easier job than if Grey attempted it alone. Natsu's body finally got used to the massive amount of magic that he gained from consuming Nico's flames, parts of his skin turned to look like scales, his eyes and fangs looks even more feral than before.

Green and orange flames exploded to life around Natsu, hell fire and dragon fire being melded into one power. The green fire concentrated on his one hand while the orange one went to the other.

"A dragon's destructive flame in my left hand and hell's ravaging flame in my right hand, Fire Dragon's Hellish Blaze!" a massive sphere of orange and green flames ten feet in diameter was tossed by dragon slayer right on top of Deliora's head. The ensuing explosion was so powerful Grey and Natsu were sent flying backwards, Nico shadow travelling in front of them and using a rope of darkness to snatch all the daggers sent flying by the explosion. The earth shook, the sea rose, the sky wailed from the massive explosion caused by the Dragon Slayer's attack.

When everything died down they saw Deliora on one knee, his body cracked all over with glowing green light shining through. The demon then raised its head and roared.

Percy has no idea how long he was out but when he opened his eyes he saw Nico sitting over him panting a bit, he looked around and saw Erza, with crumbling armour she seemingly took multiple attacks and defended them. He heard explosions close by and looked to see burst of flames, and barrages of ice attack a monster that seems to be swiping in mid-air to get rid of flies. When his brain clicked in and connected the dots, he realized those were Natsu and Grey distracting the monster.

"Hey Percy," he heard Nico's voice call out "is your brain working?"

"Yeah, thanks Nico. Did you revive my magic?" Percy asked

"Yeah, I showed a lot of my spells to your friends but I didn't want them to see all of my big ones." Nico shrugged, "now I'm going to go complete my mission while you kick that demon's ass." Shadows flew to Nico and the young teen melted in them.

Percy snorted and stood up, stretching his limbs. He estimated merely a fraction of his magic in his body but it should be enough for Deliora.

"Thanks for protecting us Erza" he said to the swordswoman.

"Destroy that monster and we'll call it even." She retorted

"Right, monster to kill" he gathered the wind and flew towards Deliora. He reared back his fist and created a palm sized sphere of pure magic, adding wind magic into the mix he created his own magical version of the attack he once watched an anime ninja do on TV.

"Chaos Sphere: Raging Shuriken!" he hurled the ball surrounded by blades of wind magic towards the demon, he launched wind ropes from his other hand and wrapped them around Natsu and Grey, pulling the two towards him, out of the blast zone. Not a second later the attack hit the Demon and expanded to ball of crushing and cutting winds tearing into the demon, with a roar and a monstrous pulse of magic Deliora blasted the wind wall and levelled the forest in a ten kilometre radius; the winds slashing the trees. The massive monster sported some cracks all over its body, green lights shining through, yet it stood proud and strong ready to tear everything in its path to pieces.

"Natsu, Grey," Percy called out as he grabbed the two from his wind ropes and dropped to the ground. "I have an idea and I need your help."

The two listened to him and nodded their consent to the plan, each dashing to the monster's flanks. Percy gathered his magic and created a wind wall surrounding the opponent. He saw a burst of flames from the monsters' right side which ignited the wind wall created a virtual tornado of flames, as expected Deliora pumped another pulse of magic to dispel the flame spout and was met with an enormous Ice Hammer to the face. The monster was surprise but not damaged however as the Hammer shattered on impact, it faced its left to deal with the ice wizard when Natsu fired his roar to the back of its head. Causing the monster to stumble with the force, with a quick turn it met a massive ball of fire that exploded covering its eye sight with reddish light. It attempted to step back from the explosion but its left foot appeared to have been frozen in place. It was able to break the ice but the disoriented demon stumbled and fell with a massive tremor as it hit the ground. When its eyesight finally returned it saw Natsu, Percy, and Grey in the air, three magic circles appeared in front of the three wizards. Natsu inhaled a colossal amount of air, his cheeks and stomach bloating, Grey placed his hands on his left side in his Ice Make gesture, and Percy in between them one hand in a clawed gesture reared back.

"Divine Dragon's Frozen Blade!" Percy aimed his clawed hand forward, it started to emit sparks and Percy moulded the lightning to elongate and become something akin to a blue lightsaber although sparks still erupts from it at moments and launched himself towards Deliora, Grey covered Percy in a swirling drill of ice, Natsu launched his roar at Percy pushing the demigod forward as he becomes envelop in a dragon's intense flames. Percy gained more momentum as he charges through the magic circles, absorbing more magic and speed; he willed the magic in the air to envelop the attack and it glowed green.

Deliora didn't even stood a chance as half a second later Percy barrelled into the demon and left nothing but ash.
