Ur and Ultear

Ultear and Gray agreed to help with Alex's crazy plan of trying to revive Ur and they set about creating the vessel.

It was going to take massive amounts of Magic power and fine tuning with {Mana Manipulation}, he didn't tell either of them, but it would be quite impossible without both their help, Gray was taught by Ur and Ultear had her blood running through her veins.

Alex was never going to find more compatible energies to create a vessel for Ur than these two, he had contemplated getting Lyon too but decided against it.

He used {Mana Manipulation to create an Ice sculpture and had Gray and Ultear fine tune its features to match that of Ur's real body, then he started changing the ice on an microscopic level replacing it with pure Ethernano given solid form.

Then he changed the colors and textures to match that of a human, he knew this body would not have a lot of the internals of humans and should technically be stronger than regular humans.

The whole time he was working with the human shaped lacrima he had Ultear and Gray constantly put their magic power into it.

He took some of Ultears DNA(blood) to add into the Lacrima as well and with enchanting forced it make changes to it, following what the DNA naturally wanted to do.

He was a little surprised to see the Lacrima itself changed to look almost identical to the internals of humans, or more specifically Ultear herself, though it was a very slow process.

'Damn, I thought it would be kinda blank on the inside and would just be a housing for her power' Alex thought in pleasant surprise.

He wasn't expecting the addition of DNA to actually force the Lacrima to mimic a Humans internals perfectly.

'Since that's the case this should work even better, even a doctor won't be able to tell she isn't human' he thought with a big smile.

Ultear and Gray could see Alex's odd smile and glowing green eyes as he worked, but wisely chose to not ask.

The process of creating the vessel took almost 24 hours of constant effort from them, Gray and Ultear had to constantly swap out to regain some magic power while Alex remained controlling the energies creating the vessel.

He used a lot of his own power too but knew he had to remain in control until it was done so he paced himself.

When the last of the energy inside the vessel settled down, what they were left with was a life-like doll.

The look and feel of the vessel was so real that Ultear and Gray were actually releasing tears subconsciously.

Alex ignored them and pulled a blanket out to cover the very life-like and very naked vessel.

His actions snapped the two out of their reverie and they wiped their tears.

Alex handed Ultear a bundle of clothes he had made with {Mana Manipulation} and took Gray back near the little fire to give Ultear some space to cloth the vessel.

Alex would have clothed her himself, but something about doing that while Ultear was there just felt... Wrong.

When they sat back down at camp he pulled out a pillow and told Gray to get some sleep, they would be doing the rest after they had recovered some energy.

Ultear joined them a few minutes later and Alex told her to get some sleep as well, she was a little hesitant but eventually complied.

She got to keep her magic unsealed so she could replenish her energies as well, but Alex told her if she tried any funny business he would straight up kill her. He was not going to take any chances with someone like her whose past was bathed in blood.

Instead of sleeping himself, Alex just entered meditation to replenish his energy. He could tell Ultear wanted to see this operation through and would most likely not do anything, but he wasn't willing to take that chance.

Everyone slept or rested for about 6 hours, after a quick bite to eat they started preparing for the final part of the operation.

He told Ultear to wrap the Iced Shell in her magic power and to keep her magic as calm as possible, if Ur was still in control he didn't want to have to fight her will, while he was transferring her magic and consciousness into the vessel.

He also wanted her to try and convey their intentions within her magic, his hope was that the familiarity would put Ur off guard and allow him to do the transfer.

He knew he could do it without Ur's cooperation but it would be soo much easier if she complied.

Gray's only Job during this time was to charge up his magic and be ready to hit Deliora with his strongest attack, it should only take one.

When Ultear mentioned she felt a reaction from her mothers magic, Alex acted.

Transforming into {Metamorphosis} for the increased power, he used {Mana Manipulation} to temporarily take control of all Ur's magic and pulled it into the Vessel.

The Iced Shell spell was undone so fast Ur couldn't have reacted even if she wanted too, by the time her consciousness was aware something had happened she was already in a new vessel and had no choice but to acclimate.

"Ice Make, Cannon!" Gray shouted. Deliora's roar shook the entire Island before Gray's charged up magic hit it square in the face, its roar was cut short as cracks started forming all over its body.

When the cracks all connected, Deliora 'The Demon of Destruction' was nothing more than a pile of rubble.

Gray was going through all sorts of internal emotions when Alex finally looked up from Ur. He had needed to make sure the process went well and interfere if he had too.

Ur's magic had cycled quickly around the new vessel before finding it very familiar and settling back down, it still looked like it would take a bit for her to wake up though.

Alex walked over to the rubble that was Deliora, still in his demon form, when he got close he started seeing the Demon Particles float toward him.

Playing a hunch, he quickly split them in half and sent half over to Gray while the other half when into his own body.

Gray who was close by and still on his knees staring at the rubble, did not even notice until he felt a stinging pain all over his body that actually caused him to yell out before falling unconscious.

Ultear was alarmed when Gray yelled out but calmed down quickly when she could find no enemies.

Alex didn't bother explaining what happened to him, but still went to check on Gray's condition.

'Just like I thought, his hatred for Demons all these years had fundamentally changed his magic and he was already on his way to becoming a natural slayer' Alex thought as he analyzed Gray's condition.

Using enchanting on the still unconscious Gray, Alex manipulated the demon particles to integrate better and more thoroughly throughout his body, he also used a massive amount of his own power to speed up the change his magic was going through to become 'Slayer' magic.

'Doing it this way is still going to be way less mana intensive than trying to create a slayer lacrima for him, though it will be more painful... If he was awake that is' Alex thought wryly.

Finishing up with Gray, he left him where he was laying and headed back to Ur and Ultear.

With his enhanced hearing he could actually hear Ur's fake heart start beating moments ago and thought she might be getting close to waking up.

When he got close he deactivated his transformation except his eyes, he still wanted to be able to see the process but didn't want to scare the hell out of the lady when she awoke.

He studied the process of her bodily functions kicking in and starting up with fascination for about 5 minutes before he noticed the first exterior movement.

Slowly her eyes started fluttering and her breathing quickened, it was like she was waking up from a nightmare. "uhhhrgh" She said before it devolved into a fit of coughing.

Ultear pat Urs back before Alex gave her a glass of water.

Nobody said anything and Ur drank all the water before looking around curiously, her gaze lingered on Ultear with confusion all over her face and was unsure if they had ever met.

"Are we related somehow? You look like you could be my younger sister, if I had one" Ur said, still confused.

Ur had the appearance she had from when Ultear was taken to the Bureau of magical development so currently the two of them only looked about 10 years difference in appearance.

"What is the last thing you remember?" Ultear asked, avoiding the question entirely.

"Hmmm? What? Ugh!" Ur started as she held her head. None of her memories made any sense, she knew she cast Iced Shell and she remembers it working, but then how was she here? Iced Shell should have been un-reversible.

"My memories are confusing, they don't make any sense" Ur said.

"Maybe we can help with that, but I still need to know what you last remember?" Ultear asked again.

"I Remember fighting a demon and having to use a very powerful spell to keep it from killing my disciples" Ur replied.

"You have no memories or recollections of what happened after you cast the spell?" Alex asked this time.

"None" was her reply while looking at Alex curiously.

"Well to start, it has been 10 years since then and a lot of things have changed, for instance, this girl here whom looks like you is actually your daughter Ultear. You were lied too all those years ago so they could keep her" Alex said with a smile, not wanting to give Ultear the chance to change her mind about confronting Ur.

Ur's eyes went wide as she quickly turned to Ultear.

Ultear just nodded in confirmation before she started to ask the question that has been haunting her most her life. "Why did you abando..." was as far as she got before Ur tackled her in a hug she was crying, Although no tears came out, and eventually Ultear started to cry too.

Alex left them to their reunion as he went to get Gray. When he checked on Gray, he could see he was just sleeping now so he poured some water on his head to wake him up.

Gray woke up sputtering and was about to lash out at Alex before he realized how sore he was, not really knowing what to think or how it happened he just let out a groan.

Chuckling, Alex used a healing spell on him so he could stand, it was only then Gray noticed the two women having a conversation while hugging and started to head their way.

Alex didn't want any part of the mushy reunion and went to dispose of the remains of Deliora, he had gotten what he wanted from the corpse and no longer had a need for it. With a satisfied smile, he watched Deliora go up in flames and return to ash.

The reunion of the 3 wizards carried on for quite a while and Alex used this time to get some actual sleep, he set a spell to wake him up if anyone gets too close and slept like the dead.

When he was woken up he felt like 6 hours had past, it was impossible to tell from underground as they couldn't see the sun, so he was basing it off how much energy he was able to recover.

Looking around at what woke him up, he noticed Ur, Ultear and Gray heading his way.

Meeting up with them he found out Gray and Ultear had filled Ur in with everything that had happened to them over the past ten years and even why they were on the island.

He was sure Ultear had left out a lot of her dark past but couldn't be bothered to bring it to light, it was not his place to do so anyway.

After learning that Lyon was also on the Island Ur was very happy, that happiness subsided quickly when she learned the reason he was here though and she wanted to march up there and bend him over her knee.

Figuring that might be amusing as hell, Alex just shrugged his shoulders and followed the three of them.

When they got topside they headed quickly to the Ice Prison, Ur made short work of it and it looked like she had no difficulties using her magic.

'I wonder if they even told her that isn't her real body' Alex thought as he watched Ur use her new body like she had it all her life.

When Lyon saw Ur he looked like he had seen a ghost, he couldn't even react. He broke out of it when he saw the look on her face, he knew this look and knew he was in trouble.

"Uhhh Ur! How are you here? I thought you were dead!" Lyon said in a panic.

"We will have plenty of time to discuss that! Now take your punishment" Ur said as she grabbed Lyon and created a chair out of ice.

She bent Lyon over her knee and started spanking him like a toddler, his magic was still sealed and he could do nothing against the stronger woman.

The look on the faces of Lyons followers and Lackeys was so hilarious that Alex and Gray couldn't stop themselves from laughing out loud, Ultear contained her laughter better but you could still tell she was enjoying the spectacle.

Ur gave Lyon a good hundred spankings before she deemed he had enough.
