Natsu: Hey, guys. Ready for some more Fairy Tail? Just make sure when you're watching you turn the lights on in the room. And don't sit too close in the T.V

Shana's P.O.V


"Natsu, we're going to destroy the moon." Erza declares as she transformed into one of her armors. 


"Really!" Natsu shouted having an exciting look on his face. Gray, Lucy, Happy, Kilala and I gasp in shocked. 



"It's the only way we can change the villagers back to their human form." Once Erza said that the villagers cheered in joy and started talking among themselves. 




"Where do you wanna go? You think we should climb up the top of the temple? It's a lot higher up there" Natsu ran up to Erza. He was far to excited for this. 


"Well, do it from here. The villagers can't go near the temple, and they need to witness this." Erza stated. 




"I don't know what she's thinking. I mean, she can do amazing things but still." Gray said. 


"You really think she can pull it off?" I questioned. This was way too much for even Erza. 


"This is exciting huh?" Happy asked as he was happy about this. 


"More like terrifying." Lucy says. 




"I see what's she's doing." Alastor said. 


"Wanna tell us how she's gonna do it?" I asked him looking down at the pendant. 


"Just watch and you'll see." He said making sulk. 




"This is Giant Armor. It increases my strength and allows me to throw farther. And this." She explains what her armor does and summons a new weapon. "This is the spear of Haja. It repels darkness." 




"Oh that thing is pretty cool." I was amazed by the beautiful spear she has. It's giant and power. 


"Of course you would think that." Gray sweats. 




"Whoa! I see what you're planning now. You're gonna use that spear to knock the moon out of the sky. " Natsu said smiling brightly.  


Gray, Lucy, Happy and I: "Give me a break! That's never going to work."




"That's right. But I'm afraid I'll need more strength than this armor can give me. So, Natsu, I'm gonna need to use your fire power as a boost. Whenever i begin to throw the spear, I want you to the back with your flames. Now we'll have to time our attack perfectly. But I think you should give me just enough power to do the job." Erza explained her plan.


"Sounds like a killer plan to me." Natsu was pleased about it. 


"Then let's do it." Erza suggested. 




"They don't really think they're gonna pull this off, do they?" Gray asked seeing we were still dumbfounded.


"They seriously to deep this time." I said. Who knows knowing Erza it might actually work. 



 Soon enough Erza and Natsu were on this high tent (idk what you called them) as they were ready to knock out the moon for the villagers. 


Erza got in to her position. "Now!" Erza ordered as Natsu hit the back of the spear with his flames just like Erza wanted him to do. 


"She did it!" Happy cheered.


"This is bad." Gray said as our shoulders hanged down


"They're actually doing it?" I asked not believing they were really doing it. 




We were all gasping see the spear go straight for the moon. We gasped again once the spear actually hit the moon. The villagers smiled once the moon started to shatter. 




"No way!" Gray, Lucy and I shouted as our mouths dropped. When it completely shattered the moon was still there it was just an outer shell.


"I get it now." I said grabbing the speaks of crystals that shattered. 




"What the heck is going on?" Natsu asked being confused as the rest of us. 


"As a result of the spell, a noxious membrane was covering the island." Erza replied. 


"A what?" Natsu repeated. 


"The moon drip released evil energy in the form of gas. that gas crystallized, and formed and invisible shell in the sky that covered the island. That's why the moon looked purple here." Erza explained that happened. 




All the villagers started murmuring and glowed. 


"Now that the spell has been broken, everything will go back to how it was three years ago." Erza added on.  When the glow was gone the villagers still looked like demons. 


"What's wrong? They're not transforming." Gray questioned. 'so I was right.


"Ha I knew it." I huffed closing my eyes. "That's because they were demons to begin with." I could tell by their sent from before. 


"The moon drip never had any effect on their appearances. However it seems to have altered their memories." Alastor tried explaining it to them. 


"What do you mean?" Lucy questioned still not getting it. 




"They think they're humans who've been transformed into demons. But it's the other way around." Erza showed and added on.


Lucy gasp."Wait you're saying... they're really...?" 


"Yup, you got it." Alastor finished. They just screamed as the villager murmuring again. 


"The villagers have always been demons." Erza said as they screamed again. 




"Hey! Is that true?" Gray questioned one of the villagers while looking dumb-founded


"Well, maybe. My memory is hazy. We all look pretty human when you met us, didn't we?" The villager replied sweat dropping 




"Yes, because you posses ability to take on human form. Your false  memories led you to believe that your temporary states were actually your true forms. In reality, you were demons who had fallen victim to the moon drip side effects." Erza mentions.  


"Hold on. How come Lyon and the others weren't effected from it?" Lucy questions. I sight. 


"Don't you remember what Lyon told you? Moon Drip has no effect on the human body."  I answered her. 


"As I could see it, only demons have effect on the memory lost." Alastor said. It would make the most sense. 


"She's right. I knew what was going once the villagers told me they were unable to go to the temple. The moonlight collected there and sacred, therefore creatures of darkness couldn't go near it."  Erza added on. 




"You're quite the detective. I knew I could trust you and your friends." A voice appeared. We turn around as gasped. "Ahh!!"


"Thanks wizards. I owe ya one." 



"A ghost!" Lucy screamed hugging the life outta Happy. 


"You're the guy from the boat!"Gray pointed out. 




"Bobo..." I heard the cheif mutter. So he's his son?


"Getting stabbed in the chest hurt pretty bad, but you gotta do more than that to kill a demon." Bobo smiled as if it was nothing. 




"But, on the boat, you just disappeared into thin air." Gray questioned him. He suddenly jumps in the air.


"Ahh!" Lucy and Happy screamed yet again. 


"I hope you kids can forgive me for not telling you the truth sooner." He was flying in the air with his wings. 


"He can fly?" Gray mutter.


"I was the only one who didn't have any memory loss. I had to leave 'cause everyone was nust." He explained his reasons. "I knew I was a demon but everyone else suddenly, thought they were cursed humans." He laughs. 


"ha! I wouldn't blame ya." I chuckled under my breath. Everyone here is just nuts in general. 


"Bobo!" the chief flew to the air to hug him. 


"I'm so glad you finally snapped out of it, pops." All the villagers started chattering. They all got their wings out and flew to Bobo. 




"Yup! They're demons alright." I crossed my arms. 


"I don't know. If you look at their faces they kinda look... more like angels to me." Natsu smiles. I couldn't help but glance over at him. 'Angels?' 




"Let's have a feast tonight to celebrate!" One villager yelled. "It'll be an all out demon party!" 




"I don't know if I'm rowdy enough to party with demons." Lucy started to sweat. 


"Me either!" Happy also said. 


"Oh I don't think you'll taste good enough for even us demons Lucy!" I joked "What do you mean by that!" She yelled. 


-------


Once everyone was settle down they began the feast. Natsu was just enjoying some of the fire that was there. 




"How are you feeling? You're sure looking a lot better?" I heard a girls voice next to Gray. I may have my dog ears gone at the moment but I still have my dragon senses so I couldn't help but glance over them. 


"Do I know you?" Gray asked her. 


"Maybe this will help." She transformed into a human for a second. 


"I remember you." He said. 


"I look a little different now, huh?" She said sweatdropping a bit. What is she up too?


"Uh, yeah?" Gray nervously smiled. 


"Just so you know, every girl in this village has totally fallen for you. Cause we think you're like the coolest guy ever! " A random village girl went closer to him. 


I couldn't help but spit out my food as I coughed. "Hey! What gives Shana!" Lucy shouted disgustedly. 



"Yeah, she's right, we think you're supper awesome Gray!" An other girl was all over him too. 


"You probably think we're cuter in our human forms don't you!" One girl spat at him. 


"No, that's not necessarily true. I think you ladies look fine just the way you are." Gray replied. The girls started squeal 


"You've gotta be the sweetest guy I've ever met." The other girl blushed. "You know just what to say to a girl." The other girl blushed too. 


"Alright girls, I think your making him uncomfortable." The first girl that approached him said.  


"You just want him for yourself don't you!" The other girl argued. 


The first girl put her arms out for diffidence. "No-No I'm just saying cause he already has a girlfriend. Don't you Gray?" She looked down at him. The other girls frowned. What the hell is going on over there. 


Gray blinked his eyes a few times. " Girlfriend who???" 


"Oh, I thought Shana was your girlfriend." The first girl blushed scratching the back of her head. Suddenly my heart started to beat faster.


Gray's face went red for a moment."Shana... you got it all wrong...w-we're just friends that's all." Gray stuttered sweating a bit scratching his temple.  For some reason that bothered me. 


The other three girls smiled widely. "Then let's hit the dance floor! We'll teach you the demon wiggle-waggle." They started pulling him somewhere. 




"looks like someone is getting a lot of attention from the ladies." Lucy smiled at the scene. That's it I had it. "Whoa! geez Shana. You just broke the table in half." Lucy shrieks as I angrily shove food in my mouth, ignoring her. "Ahh! I see!" Her face turns into a smirk. "I think someones a little jealous!" She teased. My eyes shot wide open as I gasped spitting more of my food. 


"Why the hell would I be jealous?" I eyed her. She just giggled. "You're so obvious." 


Now she was really starting to piss me off. "What the hell are you talking about?" I grew an anime vein.  "Oh, it's nothing." She turns around smiling to herself. I just stared her down. Erza giggled to herself.  




"Well, I have to admit. I was wrong about humans." The Cheif suddenly spoke. 


"hn you sure are." I huffed. I then felt something hit the back of my head. "Ow!" 


"Shana!" Erza scold me. 




"All of these years we've chosen to hide from the outside world. We were so afraid that others would judge us by our appearance." The Cheif explained his reasons. 


"You know the curse? That was just a rumor we spread so no one would come near our island and bother us." Bobo add on.




"Well it sure worked. Cause the sailors at the dock were terrified. Nobody wanted to come here." Lucy told them. 


"I know, and it's a shame. But after meeting you we've changed our minds. You've restored our faith in humans, and now we're not afraid. We're ready to go out and befriend people. From other lands." The Cheif said. 


"It may not be easy trust me. If I managed to come this far so can all of you." I said earning a smile from all of them. Being born different is difficult but with the help of everyone in Fairy Tail I learn to overcome that fear. 



Everyone was still having fun and chatting with everyone.Gray was still hanging out with the village girls. I don't know why I was getting bother by it but I tried not to show it. Lucy is already figuring me out. 


 I let out a long sight and leaned back a bit. "AHH!  When is this night gonna end?" I said annoyed. I was still in my human form. 


"What's up with you?" Lucy questioned. 


"She just wants the sun to come up." Happy mentions. 


"Aw come on Shana, your human form isn't that bad." Lucy said. 


"That's because you're used to being weak." I said taking another bid of my melon bread. She sight not being bother by my reply. I then felt someone coming so I stood up. 


"What's the matter Shana?" Erza asked me. Kilala also transformed. Everyone grew quiet. 



"Oh, no not again." One village said worriedly. "It's the cold emperor's minions." An other said. 


"What do we do?" One of the demon girls that was with Gray asked. 


"Don't worry I'll take care of 'em." Gray told them. Damn it now would be a really good time for the sun to come out. 


"How can I help you?" Erza also stood up next to me. 


"You Fairy Tailers are though. The Cold Emperor's so banged up, he couldn't even make it down here." The one with the blue hair spoke. 


"That's why we've come to pay you a visit in his place." The girl said next. 




"Wait just a minute. I thought we were cool? Didn't Lyon tell you guys what happened?" Lucy questioned them. 


"Yes, but that doesn't matter to us." The blu hair guy still had a wired grin on his face.


"We wanted to settle things with you ourselves." The girl said. 




"All right, why don't you show me what you got?" Natsu barged in as he summoned fire in his hand. 


"Wait, Natsu." He was stopped by Bobo. "Thanks for the help, but we can't keep relying on you so let us fight 'em." 


"He's right. we got these clowns." The villager said. "If we wanna keep our village safe we've gotta protect it." An other said. 




"Normally I would agree with you, gentlemen. But I think it's best that I handle this one." Erza said walking up to the two. Well, they're dead. 


"We meet again Titania of Fairy Tail. You gave Angelica quite a beating earlier." The girl smirked.


"She seems like a formidable opponent." The blue hair guy said. 


"Watch out for that creepy chick. She can control inanimate objects." Lucy warned Erza.


"And don't even bother trying to use your magic against ol' megabrows." Natsu also told her these people are so weak. 


"Is that so? In that case I'll do it the old fashioned way." Erza charged in and kick the chick in her face. and she did her punch against the other dude. They were both easily knocked out on the ground. 


"She didn't even have to use any magic." Lucy was surprised. "That's the great Erza for ya." Happy cheered. 


"We this was disappointing." Alastor said. 




"You're truly an amazing warrior." the girl told Erza as she struggled to get back up. 


"Yeah, no kidding. We're no match for you." The blue hair guy said. Having us all confused. 


"Uh, wait so you're not here to attack us?" Lucy asked. 




"I doubt this is going to make up for all the trouble we've caused you. But we wanted to apologize in person." The blue hair guy explained. 


"Oh, so you came here to settle things in a good way." Happy smiled. 


"The cold emperor told us everything. Thanks to you, we can finally let go of the pain Deliora caused us so many years ago." the girl said


"You mean, you were victims of Deliora too?" Gray asked them.


"When we were children the monster ravaged our village. We watched it murder our friends and family." the blue hair guy said 


"The cold emperor had a plan to kill the demon once and for all. That's why we joined him. " The girl said next. 


"You see, we wanted revenge. And we were so focused on getting it, we never realized we were hurting innocent people."


"We were so blinded by our hatred, that we acted no better than the demon itself. From now on, we'll treat other people with respect. And love." They finished their story. In a way I can sympathies with them. Getting revenge doesn't help anyone.




"Alrighty, then!" Natsu randomly shouts. "You guys should stick around, and joined in on the feast." Natsu chuckled from behind them.  


"But we were enemies a second ago?" The blue hair guy was confused. 


"I don't think it's a good idea because, I'm trying to watch my figure and-" The girl was also unsure about it.


"Enough with the excuses. Live a little would ya!" Natsu smiled as he brought them to a table. 


"Okay, now I'm ready to party!" He shouted. Everyone just sweat-dropped at him. 


"I'm seriously going to have a major ulcer one day from him." I said while taking a sip of my drink. Tho I do envy him a little he's able to enjoy his life the way he wants to. That's something I wish I could do once in a while . Alastor just chuckled. 


-----


The next morning the gang was ready to head back. Natsu was still munching on his fire on sticks. 


"Where eyebrows and love-girl go?" Natsu asked Happy. 


"Like typical party guest, they stuffed their faces and took off." Happy told him. Kilala was munching on a fish next to them. 




I blink my eyes a few times as I took my right hand off forehead. "Hmm... sorry but I think it's gonna leave a scar." I told Gray as I was looking at the wound he got on top of his left eyebrow. I spent all morning trying to heal it but that's as good as it going to get. 



He sight. "Whatever, it doesn't matter to me." He simply said. 


"Are you sure?" I asked him if he was really okay with living with it. 


"I don't mind having a few scars, as long as I can see 'em. It's the ones you cant see that sting." He said coolly. I frown my eyes at him. 


"spoken like a man I see." Alastor chuckled. 


Gray looked back down at me. "How about you? Is your wound okay?" My face started to heat up for some reason. "Y-yeah, I'm fine it's nothing more than a scratch." I tried to shrug this wired feeling I had away by standing up avoiding his stair. I was thinking about telling him that Lyons attacked actually left a huge scar on my stomach since I let it heal on its own. But I just decided to just not let him know. 


"So you've got invisible scars?" Natsu teased him eyeing him annoyed. I sight way to break the moment dude. 


"Shut up, Natsu! Every time I say something cool, you gotta ruin it!" Gray yelled at him. 


"How was that cool?" Natsu asked him. I let out a air bubble 'There they go again.' 


While Erza was talking with the Chief Natsu and Gray we're fighting again. Erza was refusing to take the money from the quest since it was never really officially taken. 


"Then why don't you take the money not as a reward but as a thank-you gift?" The chief asked


"When you put it that way, you make it hard to say no." Erza smiled as she closed her eyes. Everyone also had huge smiles on their faces. 


"She's really gonna take it!" Gray said


"We're rich!" Lucy squealed 


"Hello melon bread." I had heard shaped eyes. 


"I'm sorry. Accepting your reward would be contrary to our guilds principles. However, we'd be happy to take that Gate Key you offered along with it." Erza refused the money but took the gate key.


"The Gate Key!" Gray, Natsu and I shouted annoyed in unison. 


"Come to mama!" Lucy cheered. 




"Well, at least let me take you back to Hargeon." Bobo offered. 


"Thank you. But I have a boat waiting, sir." Erza smiled. I was confused. 


----


When Erza said she had a boat waiting she forgot to say it was a pirate ship. Everyone was in shocked. 


"A pirate ship?" Gray questioned the boat we saw. 


"Did she hijacked it?" I was also shocked. She might've out done herself this time. 




"ahoy, me beauty! Ha, ah!" They shouted. 


I sweat-dropped "Me beauty?" Alastor now questioned. 


"That's right. They've become quite found of me." Erza just smiled. 


"That's the great Erza for ya." Happy sang. "Mew!" Kilala smiled. 


"Jeez you're such a suck-up." Lucy mentioned to Happy. 




"Ahoy! Come aboard me ship mateys." the captain says. 


"Mateys?" gray asked.


"I don't wanna. I'm not riding that creepy boat." Lucy whined.




"If you wanna swim, I'll join you."Natsu smiled at Lucy. 


"Are you insane?" Lucy shouted. God can they be any louder. 




In the end we ended up in the boat after all as we said goodbye to the villagers. 


----


Not long we made is safely back to Magnolia.


"We're home!" Natsu cheered. "Aye Sir!" Happy cheered along with him. 


"I'm bummed. All that time and hard work for some lousy Gate Key." Gray whined.


"Yeah, I ended getting a hole in my stomach for a stupid key." I agree with him. Tho I can felt his mood change when I said that. I didn't questioned it. 




"Yeah, and that S-Class reward was big time money." Happy also mentions. 


"Well, I'm sorry but it wasn't an official job. Just be glad you got something. " Erza reminded us.


"She's got a point. Now quit your complaining." Lucy smiled. 


"That's easy for you to say." I told her. She's the only one that has needs for the stupid Gate Key.


"Can we sell it?" Happy asked Lucy.


"How can you even suggest that Happy?" Lucy was shocked. "You guys don't get it. They're hard to come by. Sure there are lost of silver Gate Keys keys but there are only 12 gold zodiac keys. And I'm lucky enough to have five." Lucy bragged. 


"It's to bad they're all crazy." Natsu teases. 


"You better watch your mouth you punk. Me and my celestial spirits are gonna be stronger than you someday!" Lucy shouted at him. Like that will ever happen. 




"So which zodiac key did you end up getting?" Gray asked her. 


"It's Sagittarius, the centaur." Lucy smiled.


"It's a horse man!" I asked dumbfounded picturing a body of a human and a head of a horse. 


"Yeah, but it's more like this." She showed me a better picture the body of a horse and face of a human.  


Natsu then strangely smiled picturing what it could be."And that's not even close, ya dummy." She mentions to Natsu version. 




"You're all so carefree. It's almost as if you forgotten you face punishment when we get back to the guild." Erza said making us all gasp. 


"but why?" Natsu asked


"Everything worked out in the end. Can't we just forget the whole punishment thing?" Lucy said.


"You're right everything worked out. But only because I came here and finished the job none of you were qualified to do. Stealing an S-class request is a serious offense." Erza stated making us gasp again in fear. 


"Huh? We said we're sorry." Lucy said sadly. 


"If you promise you'll never do it again then I don't think you need to be penalized by the guild. Unfortunately, i don't have a say in the matter. Your fate is in Master Makarov's hands. So I'm sure you'll be facing punishment." Erza explained to us. 


"Now I'm scared. You think he's gonna make us do that?" Happy asked us. My body froze. Kilala started to growl too. 


"Just kill me now! I don't think I can live through that again!" Gray yelled in fear. 


"you guys are freaking me out!" Lucy shouted. 


"Don't let him scare ya. I'll talk the man out of punishing us. That guy loves me." Natsu pats her shoulder. 


"Natsu you can't your way out of this one. Good luck with that." Erza reminds him smiling to herself. 


"No save me!" Natsu yells as he gets drags away by her. 


My eyes went dull. "Not..... 'that'!" I shivered recalling the horrible memories of 'that.' punishment. Kilala was still growling. 


Lucy backed away from me frighten. "Even Shana's scared?!!! Can someone please tell me what that is!!" She yells
