CG:[Still in an act.] Hey! Natsu! I'm back!
ND:[With his back to the others.] *Ahhh* Just in time, too! I think I had my fill of fruits,[Turning around, with his eyes closed.] But, I sure could go for some coffee! *SPLASH!*
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! MY FACE!!! IT BURNS!!! IT GOT INTO MY MOUTH!!!
ES&CG: Here's your coffee...
WHAT THEY HELL'S THE BIG ID...ea...[He says after forcing his eyes open, to see Erza was the one who threw the hot coffee at him.] AAAAAH!!! ERZA!!! What are YOU doing here!?!
ES: What does it look like I'm doing here? Saving you idiots!
ND: Hey! Clarence! You didn't tell me Erza was here! What the heck!
CG:[Finishing off a vial of silver colloid. Returning his normal form. Speaking normally] MY NAME'S NOT Clarence...[Changes coat back to chestnut brown, then returns the pith helmet.] That whole "archeologist" stuff, was a facade...And the next time you say any crap about my eyes, I'll have Griffin and Magma play catch with you...
ND: Ummm...Who's Magma?
CG: Oooh, you'll find out...
ES: Right now, we need to stop these wizards from completing their ritual...and when we get back to Magnolia...All of you will face your just punishment from Master Makarov!
ND: So your not gonna kill us...yet...but you are gonna help us...Alright! But why bring them along Erza?
ES: Master Makarov has permitted to allow Clayton and Griffin to aid in the retrieval efforts. As for Magma, she will become our newest member when we return to Magnolia.
ND: So...You brought rookies to help bring us back? Didn't know you were so desperate Erza...
CG: Hey! I'm NOT a ROOKIE! Who defeated Erigor?!
ND: Me!
ES: Technically...After Clay beat him to a pulp...You just stole the coup de grâce...
CG: You should also know that me and Griff beat Gildarts Clive, back when we were with our old guild!
ND:[Laughs hysterically] Yeah, right...No one can defeat Gildarts!
ES: It's true Natsu...By the way...How did you do that, anyway?
CG: Well...Griffin and I came up with a plan...I'd use my Earth Dragon: Osmium Cranium[Turns his skull and forehead heavier than Osmium.] to make my head-butt monumentally stronger, while Griffin grabbed me like a bat and smashed my head against his...I had a concussion for four weeks after that...
ES: So...Griffin really defeated Gildarts...
CG: Hey! I took the hit! He didn't even join the fight until the last minute!
ND: Really? I didn't know Griffin was that powerful...Maybe if I beat him in a fight, I could beat Gildarts the next time I see him...
CG&ES: It be more of a massacre than a fight!
CG: So...Do you have a plan of action for taking these wizards down?
ND: Well...When the Moon's out at night, it's light went straight down the temple in some weird spell thingy. So I figured if we could destroy one side of the ruins lower supports, the whole temple will be out of line.
ES: That's actually smart! Natsu!?! Are you feeling alright? Your usually not like this...
ND: Hey! I can be smart too!
CG: Our dragons didn't raise no fools! Now let's eat some fruit and coffee real quick before we head out! It's not wise to fight on an empty stomach!
ES: You make a good point. Besides, fruit will not encumber us like other forms of sustenance. As for the coffee, it will give our waking minds and bodies a pick me up! Let's finish quickly and be on our way!
ND: Can I have some coffee?
ES: Do you want me to serve it to you like last time?
ND: Nevermind...I'll stick with water...
[As the three wizards enter the lowest levels of the temple, they finalize their plan.]
ES: Alright! Let's go! Natsu! Take the columns on the right! Clay! Take the one's on the left! I'll take the ones in the center...
CG: Hold up! There are people in the higher floors of the temple...I know one of them as a former Lamia Scale wizard...
ND: So? We'll just kick their butts after the temple is tilted!
CG: I have a better plan...
[As Clay explains he can project a voice through the entire temple, warning them to leave, The Cold Emperor, Lyon Vastia, was scolding his follower Toby Horhorta, while his mysterious advisor, Zalty, A.K.A: Ultear Milkovich, came to inform Lyon that they need to finish the ritual by tonight.]
Lyon Vastia: How pathetic, your the only on left standing, Toby.
Toby Horhorta: *Groans*
LV: Those Fairy Tail wizards...They're quite impressive…
[Insert scene where Toby defeated himself.]
TB: Hey, can we keep that whole "Shocking myself" thing, a secret!
Zalty: This unfortunate turn of events could put the resurrection of Deliora in jeopardy...
LV: Zalty...Your as stealthy as ever...
Zalty: If all goes as planned, the demon should awaken at some point tonight, but we have to keep an eye on those wizards...If they were to interrupt the Moon Drip Ceremony, then Deliora would forever remain entombed in ice, Salamander, Titania, and Nidhogg, are quite powerful, they could easily foil our plans...
Temple Voice: THOSE WIZARDS ARE THE LEAST OF YOUR CONCERNS, TRESPASSERS!
LV: What the hell?
Zalty: What sorcery is this?
TH: AAAAAH!!! The voices are back!
TV: SILENCE, YOU INSOLENT FOOL! YOUR RESIDENCE AND ABUSE OF THE MOON TEMPLE OF LUNA WILL NO LONGER BE IGNORED! EITHER STATE YOUR PURPOSE, AND I'LL CONSIDER ALLOWING YOU TO FINISH YOUR GOAL, OR LEAVE, AND NEVER RETURN TO THIS SACRED ISLAND!
LV: Who is this were speaking to? What are you? Why reveal yourself now?
TV: MY NAME IS DIANA. I AM THE GUARDIAN SPIRIT OF THIS TEMPLE. I WAS APPOINTED HERE BY MY FELLOW VALKYRIES, THE CREATORS OF THIS TEMPLE. AS FOR MY REASON FOR REVEALING MYSELF, THE WIZARD YOU KNOW AS "NIDHOGG" BARES THE MARK OF A VALKYRIE. HIS PROXIMITY TO THIS TEMPLE AWAKENED ME. NOW. CHOSE!
LV: Very well...I am the Cold Emperor, Lyon Vastia! We've brought the frozen demon of destruction, Deliora, to this temple of yours to free him from his prison of eternal ice, using the dispelling power of the Moon Drip. Once I free him, I will destroy him, to prove to all that I am a better wizard than my late master, Ur.
Diana: DO YOU WIELD ANY FORM OF EXORCIST MAGIC?
LV: No. I do not...
Diana: THEN YOU WASTE YOUR TIME. ONLY ETERNAL MAGIC OR EXORSISM MAGIC IS PROVEN TO KILL OR STOP DEMONS...HOWEVER, THE WIZARD NIDHOGG IS CAPABLE OF CREATING WEAPONS OF EXORSIZING SILVER. HE IS YOU BEST CHANCE TO FULFILL YOUR DESIRE.
Zalty: Impossible! Everyone knows Nidhogg is an Earth Dragon Slayer...
Diana: YOU ARE CORRECT. BUT YOU FAIL TO REALIZE THAT THE TWO DRAGONS THAT RAISED HIM WERE ALSO QUEEN OF THE EARTH GODS AND OVERWORLD, AND KING OF THE EARTH DEMONS AND UNDERWORLD, AS WELL AS BEING KING AND QUEEN OF THE EARTH DRAGONS. HE WAS TAUGHT ALL THREE FORMS OF EARTH SLAYER MAGIC.[Lying] HOWEVER, HE IS UNABLE TO PERFORM LORD SLAYER MAGIC.
LV: *Humphf* I don't need anyone's help...I'll defeat Deliora with my own magic!
Diana: THEN LEAVE! OR I WILL FORCE YOU TO LEAVE!
TH: How does a building kick out people inside of it? Do you sneeze us out?
Diana: NO. THIS IS HOW I WILL FORCE YOU TO LEAVE![Clay uses his Abiotic Eye to summon a continuous ambush of earth golems(Not to be confused with Human Golems, which are technically human, and technically not. Golems are just bodies of elements with sentience, but few human-like characteristics.) to attack the three wizards, being relatively easy for them to beat, but only meant to exhaust them.]
[Meanwhile, back with the three wizards.]
CG: Alright...I've freaked out a lot of the wizards...Let's smash these support pillars...*Groans*[Clay was holding his left eye in discomfort.]
ND: Hey! Cuz! You feeling good?
ES: If you need time to heal up, Natsu and I'll take your pillars as well...
CG: No, no, no...Just need to replenish myself...making that voice go through the entire temple took a bit more out of me than I thought...Hang on...Earth Dragon: Tectonic Turret(A ranged variant of Tectonic Fists.)[As the volleys of Dragon Slayer Earth crumbled the pillars on the left, Clay inhaled all the debris from his work, to replenish his magic.] Mmm...This old rock is chalked full of magic! Alright! Time to hit the grit!!!
ND: Alright! My turn! Fire Dragon's Claw![Natsu used the spell to kick apart, and rapidly move between the pillars.]
ES: Good job, boys! Now it's my turn...Requip![Erza requipped her Heaven's Wheel Armor.] Circle Blade![Erza sends her circle of swords towards the last of the pillars, destroying them into rubble. After that was done, the whole temple shook until it collapsed on the no longer supported side.]
CG: Well...Looks like that takes care of that...Shall we meet with the head honchos?
ND: Heck, Yeah!
ES: Yes. Let's go!
Gray Fullbuster: Not so fast![Gray appears from another temple entrance.] I'm coming with...[Sees Erza, thinking she's with Lucy and Happy.] Erza! What the hell! I thought thought you were with Lucy and Happy!
ES:[Being caught up by Magma, she came up with a lie.] I was. Then Griffin came to help out after making sure the villagers were safe. He then took me to join up with Clayton, and Natsu. Afterwards, he said he'd return to aid Lucy and Happy.
GF: He must be one fast flying cat...
CG: So...are you going to join us, or what?
GF: Fine. But Lyon's mine. Just make sure you keep the others off me!
ND: No way man! We were here first we get dibs on who to fight!
CG: Damn straight!
GF: Don't you idiots realize this is my fight?
ES: He's right! This is a personal matter for him. The Cold Emperor, Lyon Vastia, was actually a fellow student of the wizard Ur, Gray being the second student...
CG: Wait? Ur? Griffin told me about her! He said he traveled with her the first three years after arriving from his homeland about eighteen years ago. What about Ur?
GF: Yeah...The cat knew Ur...Back in the year X774, the very same demon who Lyon's trying to free was headed to Brago to destroy the town. I tried to stop him...because...
ES: That's the same demon that destroyed your hometown...
GF: Right. I was way in over my head. Even Ur and Lyon could barely hurt it...But as Lyon tried to perform Iced Shell to defeat Deliora. Ur stopped him, and casted the spell herself, freezing Deliora in an eternal prison of unmelting ice...
CG: But it's an Eternal Spell...Just like what my dad used on some more Demons from the Books of Zeref...he must have fled with the rest of the demons who hightailed it out of Freesia years before...but if that's the case...
GF&CG: Then Ur's still alive.
CG:[Holds the talisman on his necklace.] Just like mine still are...[Yes. His talisman is all that's left of his parents.]
GF: So...You know why I've gotta telling him what happened to Ur, don't you?
CG:[Nods in comprehension] Then let's get going...Earth Dragon: Terraform: Rising Plateau![Clay lifted the ground below them, using it like an elevator to bring them all to the throne room, Clay parted the roofs above them to clear their ascension.]
[After arriving at the throne room.]
CG: Hey, hey, hey!
LV: So...You must be Nidhogg...and I assume the pink-haired fool is The Salamander...As for her, she must be Titania, Queen of the Fairies...
GF: Don't forget about me, Lyon.
LV: *Humphf* So it's three powerful wizards...and my old peer...Am I supposed to be afraid?
ES: If you keep harming our friends and the locals,[Erza Stare] then I'll give you something to fear...
ND: What are we just standing around here for? We got butts to kick!
GF: Stay out of this guys...He needs to know what happened to Ur...Then we'll see what this leads to...Lyon, Ur's may not be here as you wanted, but she's still alive! She's the very ice used to keep Deliora entombed. If you melt it---
CG:[Interrupting] He already knows...
GF: What? How do you know?
CG: His heartbeat was completely constant. If he wouldn't have known, it would have fluctuated from such a revelation...
LV: I'm impressed. I've heard rumors about your ability to detect the heartbeats of other...and to think, they were true...
Zalty: Cold Emperor...I bet that The Nidhogg also used a form of magic to project that voice we've heard of before, calling itself "Diana," am I wrong Nidhogg?
CG: *Pfff!* You caught me red handed! I "was" Diana. However,[Takes off his coat and jacket.] I wasn't lying about being a Valkyrie![Turns around to show him his mark of the Valkyries.] Your improper performance of what you call "The Moon Drip Ceremony" is actually what the Valkyries call-ERZA!!! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!!![As Clay was telling Lyon how they butchered the ritual, Erza began rubbing his deltoids like she did back at Fairy Tail.]
ES: I'm sorry. Your deltoids are just too exquisite to resist rubbing!
Zalty:[Ultear getting aroused] Hmmm...He does have an irresistible physique...
CG: AAAAAH!!![Rushes to put clothes back on.] LOOK MAN, IN DON'T SWING THAT WAY!...Huh!?![Looking closer with his 6th sense, he realized that "he" was a she.]
ND: Geez Erza! What kinda relationship do you and Clay have anyway?
CG:[Under his breath] A...Unique one...
GF: I'll say...Never thought I'd see you acting so perverted!
ES:[Blushing] I'm not perverted! I was just...
LV:[Interrupting] Rubbing his shoulders like you're a masseuse...And what was that all about Zalty?
Zalty:[Blushing under mask] I have no Idea what you're talking about my lord.
CG: BOTH OF YOUR HEARTS ARE GOING CRAZY!
[Snapping out of it] So! Are you actually serious about killing Deliora, mister Cold Emperor?
LV: Of course I am!
CG: Then why would you refuse to ask for a Devil Slayer's weapon? Only Eternal Magic and Devil Slayer Magic is guaranteed to stop demons...You should know this!
LV: *Humphf* I don't expect you to know just how powerful I am, but my magic is powerful enough to kill Deliora...
GF: And what if it's not?
CG: Yeah, what if your magic isn't enough?
LV: If you must know, I do know an Eternal Spell...
GF: Lyon! Your crazy if you're thinking of using...
LV&GF: Iced Shell!
CG: So...You're willing to sacrifice your own life to kill Deliora? Why? What has Deliora taken from your life?
LV: My ultimate goal...To defeat Ur!
ND: Wait? So your doing all of this because this demon is why you can't fight Ur? That's pretty dumb...
ES: At least Gray and Clay have lost and suffered greatly from this demon...
Zalty: None of your opinions matter. All that matters is the will of The Cold Emperor...
CG: Yeah, so tell me...Are you here to help defeat Deliora?
Zalty:[Lying] But of course! The Demon of Destruction has destroyed far too much, from far too many...I seek it's demise just as the rest do...
TH: Yeah! Lyon will kill that stupid demon, then all of our losses won't be in vain!
CG: You do realize that I can forge a weapon capable of killing demons, it wouldn't even take a minute to forge it!
LV: We don't need a blacksmith to waste our valuable time making a sword!
CG: I'm not talking about smithing one...Earth Devil King Forge: Exorcist's Gladius![With black, glossy markings covering the right side of his body, Clay forged a Devil Slayer Gladius from Earth Devil Silver, Wood Devil Bloodwood, and Earth Dragon-God Obsidian(Fusion of Earth Dragon and Earth God magic.). Making the entire blade of Exorcist Silver, the grip of Exorcist Bloodwood, and the obviabis and guard of Earth Dragon-God Obsidian. He then made a scabbard of thickly-woven Black Earth God Cotton. All within five seconds.]
LV: Incredible! That's not any form of Molding Magic...
TH: That's Forge Magic...Wait! I know him! He's crazy powerful Lyon!
Zalty: He sure is...Nidhogg...The Drake of the Earth...
CG: Nice to see you too Toby...Where are your Inuotes I made for you?
TH: Well...I left Lamia Scale in such a hurry, I completely forgot them...I wish I'd have brought them too...It's much easier to use your hands without having to poison yourself by accident when you can just remove them with a snap of your fingers...
ND: Forge Magic? What's that?
Zalty: A Lost Magical form of Creation Magic...Instead of making temporary constructs of a particular substance, Forge Magic constructs are capable of being permanent, and astronomically more powerful than their Mold Magic counterparts...It's suppose to take a monolithic amount of magic to perform even the simplest of constructs, not to mention unparalleled concentration...
GF: But it's only been possible for wizards who were born from the bloodline of it's creator...
CG: Abraham Grimm...My ancestor...
LV: What? That's impossible! There hasn't been a Grimm in years...
CG: No. I AM a Grimm. Like my father before me, and his father, and his father, and so on until Abraham Grimm. The Father of Creation Magic itself...This blade I just forged is not only capable of killing demons, but can be imbued with any form of magic, but only once, then it can channel that magic for the rest of time...If I imbue it with the Moon Vapor, it should be able to dispel any magic, with a single swipe, including curses. If you really want to kill Deliora, take this, expose it to the Moon Vapor, then kill Deliora...Hell! You can even imbue it with your own magic if it pleases your ego!
LV: No...
CG,ES,ND&GF: Huh?
LV: Like I said before...I will kill Deliora with my magic alone...Toby! Strike him down and take that blade!
TH: You got it, Lyon! Heeeyaaagh!!![Toby pounced on Clay, scratching his Freesian Lion Coat only, after Toby kicked off Clay from his scratching fury, he looks at his nails to see them a normal length, and as dull as possible.]
Huh? What happened to my nails? They're all short and stubby!...I feel like I'm forgetting something...
[As Toby was preoccupied with his nails, Clayton secured the new blade onto his hip with some Earth Dragon Vines, securing it's scabbard to his side.]
CG: Okay! My turn! Earth Dragon: Seismal Claws![ Clay charges at Toby with a flying kick with his new boots, sending the poor fool flying out the temple.] Sorry about that Toby!...
LV: What the...
Zalty: How did his nails not even lay a scratch on him?
CG: It's because my father made this coat from a rare, rabid Freesian Lion's pelt!
ES: A cursed beast! But a Freesian lion's curse is being impervious to all magical and physical damage! How could you even kill one?
CG: My dad said he forced his arm down it's throat, then ripped out It's heart! He then ripped it's fangs and claws out to skin and stitch it together...So as long as I wear this coat of mines...I'm invulnerable!
LV: Will see about that!
Zalty: I'll leave you to deal with these weaklings, but I'll return to aid you...
LV: Very well.
[Zalty leaves to repair the temple.]
GF: Lyon! How can you be such an idiot! Clay's LITERALLY giving you the key to kill Deliora! Why refuse it!?!
LV: As far as I know, it's all talk...Do you really expect me to believe that he has magic that can vanquish demons with ease?
ES: Because...He defeated the demon flute Lullaby with a single attack…
LV:[Shocked] What!?!
[As the reveal of Clay's feat was announced, the temple was restored.]
GF:[Shocked] What the-
ES: Impossible!
ND:[Angry] HOW CAN THE TEMPLE BE BACK TO NORMAL!?! MY PLAN WAS FOOLPROOF!
GF: More like created by a fool…
[The two wizards are head-to-head.]
ND: Say that again, Ice block head!
GF: You have slag in your ears, pinky flame!?!
[They go back and forth for a bit until Erza interrupts.]
ES: WILL YOU TWO SHUT UP AND BE MORE LIKE CLA-
CG: *BURP!*
ES:[Disappointed] Ay…
GF: Ew…
ND: Geez man...Not even an excuse me?!
LV: And here I thought you were a gentleman…
Zalty:[Returning to the room] I thought the same, Cold Emperor…
ND: HEY! How did you fix the temple!?!
Zalty: *Humph*...Wouldn't YOU like to know…
CG: I get the feeling that you didn't fix the ENTIRE temple…
Zalty: I'll admit, I wasn't able to fix all the temple supports, but as long as the temple is upright, my goal was completed...
CG: Too bad for you…[Clayton casts a single enlarged Earth Dragon: Seismal Claw, then firmly stomps the floor, sending large magnitudes of vibrations into the temple, causing the repaired supports to collapse again, along with the temple.]...I can be just as DESTRUCTIVE as I am CONSTRUCTIVE…
Zalty:[Angry] Damn you![He leaves to repair the temple once again.]
ND: HEY! Where do you think you're going!?!
[Before Natsu ran after Zalty, Erza grabbed Natsu by the shoulder.]
ES: Natsu...
