14 Deliora

Meanwhile elsewhere in the island,

Natsu after destructing half of the base of the temple fight against Lyon. Erza, Lucy and Happy started to fight with the survivant of Deliora, making a way to Gray to rejoin Lyon and Natsu. After arriving at the place of the fight of Lyon and Natsu, Gray decided to used Iced Shell to stop Lyon and sealed to stopped him to resurrect Deliora. BUT Natsu stopped him by punching him and cancel the spell.

But as the night was coming, Zalty or Ultear reconstruct the temple greatly pissing off Natsu, who decide to chase after her, he pursuied her until they arrived at the cave where our MC is staying. After they leaved, Gray and Lyon started their one vs one. Gray reveal all to Lyon who seems to know all of this with a crazed face, they started a hand to hand combat finishing with a magic fight with the victor, Gray, who win by greatly showing the superiority of Ice Make Magic with two hand over the Ice Make Magic with one hand.

Meanwhile, outside the temple, Lucy and Erza started to get serious and Lucy summon Cancer to finish the minions and easily defeating them. It's at this time that they understood why the minions were helping Lyon, they wanted revenge against Deliora who killed their family and home.

Inside the cave with Natsu and Ultear. We could see that Ultear and Natsu are fighting while the Drip Moon ceremony is still continuing.

Natsu : Seriously i don't get you, you're gonna resurrect this thing so that Lyon can defeat it ? Lyon might be satisfied with that, but what do his companions gain from all this ?

Zalty/Ultear : Who knows, I only joined them recently.

Natsu : Then, how about you ? What is your true goal ?

Zalty/Ultear : Oh my, I see nothing gets past you. AHAHAH, Master Reitei ( Lyon ), that spoiled brat would never be able to hold his ground against Deliora, in the first place. I will be able to make it mine, there are technique that can manipulate even an immortal beast. Wouldn't it be magnificient if i had such power under my command ?

Natsu : That's a pretty lame excuse. If you need power, you will need to put your faith in your firends and in your own power. The power of a GUILD.

Zalty/Ultear : That ego of yours will lead you to destruction. Ceiling ! Accelerate your time and crumble !

Natsu : Each and every one of you are just wrecking the island for the dumbest of reasons. I won't take anymore !

Zalty/Ultear : Do those fierce flames even stand chance against my Time Ark ?

She then started throwing multiple Lacrima at Natsu. While the ceiling started to crumble on him.

Natsu then dodge skillfully while destroying the Lacrima with his flames creating an explosion and engulfing the cave in smoke.

Natsu : Time Ark, Time Pork or whatever ! Get the hell outta this island !

He punched in the face Zalty/Ultear pretty badly letting him flying in the rock beneath him.

At the same time, Erza stop the ceremony at the top of the temple but she was too late. The ceremony was already finished.

Deliora : ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRR

Gray arrived at the cave witnessing the giant demon coming back to life with Lyon following him while crawling.

Lyon : That thing .... I will ... I will be the one who surpassed Ur ! AHAHAHA

Natsu : It will be impossible given your states. Give it up already

Deliora : ROOOOOOAAAAAAAAARRRRRRR

Lyon : We finally meet again. Deliora ! I... RIGHT .... NOW .... WILL SURPASS YOU !

A hand then came and knocked him bringing him down lying on the floor.

Gray : That's enough, Lyon ! Just leave things to me now. I will seal Deliora. Iced Shell !

Lyon : Stop it Gray ! Do you know how long it took me to melt that ice ? History will just repeat itself ! One day I will just melt the ice and confront it again !

Gray : There is no other option. Right now, this is the only thing i can do to stop it !

Natsu then stop Gray by staying in the way of the spell.

Gray : NATSU MOVE, THIS IS THE ONLY SOLUTION.

Natsu : No gray, i will fight him myself.

??? : OhOhOh quite the good show here can i interrrupt ?

All : WHO ?!

We can see a man with a hooded man staying in the shoulder of Deliora. It was not Zaldy but seemed to be stronger than him. Because whatever you do you aren't able to sense him, if he hadn't talked, they would never be able to detect him. Even now they think that if they don't see him they would never know he was there.

Natsu : Who are you ?

??? : Me ? I heard a pretty bad new saying that one of Zeref's Demon will be resurrected, of course I'm here to eliminate him. But stop the chat, this demon is waiting.

Deliora : ROOOAAAARRRRR

??? : Then.

He started lifting his hand and a gigantic Magic circle appeared over him, it was so big that it covered the entire temple. Deliora started to throw a punch at him.

??? : AHAHAHA Begone little Demon.

Then a binding light covered them and when the light faded they were nothing remaining, not even a speck of dust, even Ur melted Ice has disappeared, staying there were only a gigantic crater and water who started flowing from the ocean.

Natsu : What happened where is this man ?!

Lyon : De...Deliora, he has... disappeared... NO ! IT'S IMPOSSIBLE ! NOW HOW CAN I SURPASS UR ! FOR TEN YEARS MY WORK WAS FOR NOTHING. HOW CAN THIS BE POSSIBLE. I will never "crying" surpass Ur !

Gray : Thank you Master ! Thank you for everything !

Natsu : I want to know where is this mysterious man. He smelled nothing, it is not possible. Argghhh.

Lucy : Natsuuuuu.

Natsu : Hey Lucy and AHHHHH ERZAAAA AHHH HELP HELP.

Erza : You will not go anywhere.

Then they started exiting the temple with Lyon while finding a way to transform back the villagers. Returning to the campment, they see that there were nobody and that the village had been returned to normal. Following which is a full round of questioning from Erza confirming her suspicion.

Zalty/Ultear : As expected from Titania. She saw through this trick at once.

??? : After all she isn't called the queen of Fairies for nothing.

Ultear quickly throwed her Lacrima behind her while backing off from the mysterious person that appeard behind her. The mysterious guys started dodging all her attempt to touch him and even started to mock her.

??? : Wowow you need to move the Lacrima faster or else you would never be able to touch me.

Zalty/Ultear : "I didn't even sense him" You are the hooded man who destroyed Deliora. Who are you ? How did you killed him ?

??? : You should know that all i do is punch him. He was already dead. After all the spell casted by your mother was a pretty powerful one, Ultear Milkovich leader of the Seven Kin of Purgatory of Grimoire Hearts.

Ultear : HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT MY IDENTITY.

??? : Ohohoh you shouldn't underestimate me this much, our network of information is very wide even at place you wouldn't be able to think. We also know that, you have infiltrated the council of Magic to finish the Tower of Heaven.

She became immediately pale when she heard his last sentence, she couldn't even mutter a sound.

Ultear : What did you want.

??? : First will be removing your mask after all you have a beautiful face, it is a waste to hide it behind this mask. Second i will need your help as a members of the council. Don't worry someone will contact you when we need your help.

Ultear released her spell but she still wore a serious expression during all his talk.

Ultear : And what can i gain from this exchange ?

??? : I will give you Something don't worry you will be very pleased by it. But not now since i don't have it here. Maybe in several months i can present it to you.

Ultear : What is it, i don't think you can offer Something that can be useful to me.

??? : Don't worry about it. Just help me out, Inside the council after all Under the threat of failing your plan this little help is Nothing, right ?

Ultear : Grrr, fine i agree to your request.

??? : Also don't report to Jelal after all it is not his business here. Oh sorry i forgot that you are manipulating him so it is pretty useless since you can change his memories. Hihihihi. Farewell Ultear Milkovich.

Ultear still has this serious expression and decided to report to Jellal what happened on Galuna Island but not the part where she encounter this mysterious guys. She was still shocked over the fact that this man knew all of her plan. It seems that he know her and all her life. She found herself the one manipulated now. and it was not a very good feeling for her.

Meanwhile on the sea,

??? : Finally i will be able to start off one of my new project since i have the help of Ultear and maybe even Siegrain since she could manipulate him at ease. I even have what i wanted.

In his hand then appeared a bottle full of a special Liquid and a book with one symbol shining brightly.

??? : Ur and Deliora.

The man then take off his Hood revealing our MC with a bright smile on his face.

Marco : Ahhh it is nice to take some time fresh air. The plan was so smooth that i myself didn't Believe it at first.

Flash Back several hour before,

We can see our MC inside the cave forming complicated magic circle on the floor. Marco was building an illusion magic circle. He wanted to created a binding light that covered Deliora and the ice letting him time to store them inside their respective container. When Deliora awakened, he activated the magic Circle and created a gigantic magic circle which was a fake one of course. He let the binding light starting before storing both of the water and Deliora. And create a crater by using some of particle and space magic. He then used his Shadow Armor, Speed to blend inside the shadow and escape from this place.

Returning to present,

Marco : I have even finished my quest.

[ Congratulation for completing the quest, you have obtained 10 000 SP ]

[ Congratulation for completing the quest, you have obtained Celestial Magic ]

[ Congratulation for completing the quest, you have obtained one of the 12 golden Zodiac Celestial Spirit Key, Libra ]

Marco : But it is really incredible how she is so easily fooled this Ultear, i should really help her some day because i found really sad that such woman is dead. After all she was wronged and didn't know the truth. I will think about that later. Let's go return to the guild, Phantom Lord Arc will soon begin. I need to prepare myself for that and i Don't want some of the member of the guild to be hurt.

He changed into his Poseidon Armor and swim at an incredible speed toward Hargeon Port.

Arriving at the port, he began to run off towards his house. Entering it, he directly went to sleep since he made some sleepless night when he was at Galuna Island.

Tomorrow morning, he wake up refreshed and decided to return to the guild to maybe receiving a Lesson about how to punish a Natsu. Ahahaha.

Opening the door, i immediately feel the intense atmosphere and directly deduct it was because of the S-class Quest missing. I didn't think it would be that serious and began to rethink about all of this. I decided to ease a little the place.

Marco : Mmh ? What happened here ?

Hearing me speaking all members turned toward me and Makarov retract the pressure he was emiting. Leaving some sigh of relief for some of the member.

Makarov : It is nothing important Marco. Don't worry too much just some brat who don't follow the rule correctly.

Marco : If it wasn't important you wouldn't be this tense tell me what happened i can probably help.

Makarov : Sigh... It is the troublesome Natsu, Lucy and Happy. They stole one of the S-class Quest and they went there without warning.

Marco : Why be so tense, didn't you send someone to catch them ?

Makarov : At first, i send Gray then seeing him he didn't return i also send Erza to bring them back.

Marco : When did you send them ?

Makaraov : Around 5 day from now.

Marco : Nothing you could do now, I'm sure they have already finished their quest and now are coming back you shouldn't worry too much about them. I bet they wanted to prove themselves a little that they can do S-Class Quest. They will learn their lesson when they are back.

Makarov : Sigh, I hope.

I scanned my surrounding and snapped at my fingers creating an invisible barrier soundproof around us. Makarov seeing this send me a questionning gaze.

Marco : I'm sad to tell you all these bad news but it need to be said. You already know that i work on an information center with spies everywhere in the country.

Makarov : I know you already say it to me that why you always come rarely in the guild. What is this bad news you talk about.

Marco : I want complete secrecy about what i will say because it is not confirmed but it is likely it is true.

I looked at Master to confirm it and he nodded at me.

Marco : Phantom Lord prepare an attack on Fairy Tail and they planned to made it a full war.

After hearing what i said, Makarov frowned heavily deep in though. Mirajane who was nearby seemed to notice something but continued her job like it was nothing.

Makarov : Did you know the reason ?

Marco : Yeah a person wanted to bring back a member of Fairy Tail who is his relative but i don't know who it is and who is their target. But if i have a say to it i think it would be Lucy.

Makarov : And why that ?

Marco : Heartfilia, i don't think this family will be able to handle that much with the lost of their company. Maybe his father want to raise the family back again by arranged marriage. I think he heard somewhere that Lucy was in Fairy Tail. Knowing us, he decided to make a call to Phantom Lord. With the deep hatred between the two guild, i Don't think Phantom Lord would think twice about the offer.

Makarov frowned even more when he heard my explication, for him all the mages of the guild were his children and he didn't like the idea of arranged marriage.

Seeing Makaraov in deep though, Marco decided to cancel his spell and head towards the Quest Board while saying.

Marco : Don't worry too much Master i will inform you when i have more news about it.

After saying this he took a quest registered it quickly and exit the massive Guild Hall.
