"Their by the docks, I can smell them" Jasmine said walking with Gray, "hurry up then" he said walking faster, "don't tell me what to do, and stay out of conversations between me and Laxus, don't need you butting in" Jasmine said rolling her eyes, "don't even know why I try" Gray muttered but Jasmine herd him, "there they are" Jasmine said as she spotted them at the docks trying to ask a man in a boat for a ride. "Come on" Jasmine said walking up to them, Gray then decided to take over, "I found you" he said grabbing Natsu and Lucy's shoulder scaring them, "what are you two doing here?" Natsu asked them, "Gramps found out what you did and sent us to come get you" Jasmine said standing beside Gray, "what why, we aren't in danger yet" Natsu said getting close to Jasmine's face, "if you come back now you might avoid getting kicked out of the guild," Gray said pushing Natsu away from her, "kicked out!?" Lucy panicked, "I don't care, I'm going on this S-Class quest" Natsu said getting angry, "Natsu this is way out of your league just come home, when Erza finds out about this she is going to be furious" Jasmine argued stepping in front of Gray to face Natsu, "please Jasmine you gotta save me" Happy said flying to hug her shoulder, "I told them this was a bad idea but they forced me to come along" Happy cried but she didn't believe a word he said, "I've gotta prove my power to Erza, so like it or not I'm doing this" Natsu said raising his hand as a ball of fire ignited his fist, "Master ordered us to bring you home, I'll drag you back if I have to" Gray said making ice in his hand, but they were interrupt when the man in the boat spoke up, "are you wizards? Have you come to lift the curse on the island," he said staring at them with wide eyes, "yeah" Natsu said smiling at him, "get in" the man said pointing to the boat, "don't you dare" Jasmine said taking Natsu's wrist, but he quickly knocked her out, "what the hell are you doing?" Gray said angry at what he did, but Natsu knocked him out as well, and has both of them on his shoulders, "there we go, ready when you are sir" Natsu said to the man in the boat, "are you sure we should bring them with us?" Lucy asked him, "we can't let them go back and tell the guild, because the next person they will send is Erza" he said panicking as they boarded the boat. 

Jasmine woke up and looked down noticed she was tied up, so was Gray, "really you tied us up" Jasmine said trying to break the ropes, she then saw Natsu leaning over the boat as his motion sickness was getting to him, "I see you haven't changed Natsu" Jasmine sighed as she looked around, but she couldn't see anything but water, "how long have we been in this boat" Jasmine asked leaning over to Gray, "a while" he said to her, he then looked at the man steering the boat, "why the hell would you let us on" he said to him frustrated, "don't take it out on him" Jasmine said rolling her eyes, "the name's Bobo, I used to be a citizen on Galuna Island, but I had to flee, I just couldn't take it anymore, I must warn you, bad things happen to anyone who steps foot on that island, there is no avoiding it, unless you lift the curse" he said, he then pulled out his arm, and it was purple and didn't look human. It startled Jasmine and she leaned back a tiny bit bumping into Gray, but he didn't mind. "This vile demons curse," Bobo said "woah your arm" Gray said staring at the arm, "we're getting close" he said looking ahead, the others looked in the same direction and saw the island getting closer. Jasmine looked close and saw something at the top of the mountain, "why is it glowing at the mountain top?" Jasmine asked leaning over Gray to look better, which he got a bit flustered at but hid it well from her. "Where did he go?" Lucy asked panicked, Jasmine and Gray noticed Bobo was missing, "did he fall out?" Gray panicked as well, but Jasmine saw something much more troubling, "uhhhh guys?" she said, they all looked up and saw a huge wave over them as it hit the boat forcing them all into the water. 

Jasmine woke up and found herself on a beach, she looked around and saw Natsu, Lucy and Gray getting up as well, but she noticed Happy was buried in the sand with his feet in the air, "here Happy, let me help you" she said pulling him out and dusting the sand off him, "thank you" he said rubbing his head, Jasmine stood up still holding onto Happy and walked over to Lucy, "you alright?" Jasmine asked putting a hand on her arm, "yeah, I'm good, wow what a mess" she said looking at the boat in pieces. "Yeah, we got lucky the wave washed us to shore" Jasmine said looking around, "I don't know if I would call it lucky" Gray said walking over, "shut up" Jasmine said to him making him role his eyes. "I can't help but wonder about the guy who brought us here, right after he told us about the curse he vanished" Lucy said, and Jasmine thought the same, "forget about that stuff right now and let's go exploring" Natsu said waving his hands in the air, "aye!" happy shouted from Jasmine's arms, "Natsu stop!" Jasmine shouted, "give it up Jasmine, you can't take us back to the guild now that our boat is destroyed," Natsu said, but just as Jasmine was about to protest, Gray put a hand on her shoulder, "she's not gonna do that" he said making Jasmine look at him shocked, "we're coming with you" he said, "oh no we are not! We have to go back now" Jasmine said, "Jasmine, if we pull this off, Gramps won't stay mad at us for long, with your help on this we have may have an even better chance," Gray said making Jasmine groan, "come on Jasmine, please?" Happy said looking up at her, "oh come on Happy you know I can't say no to you" Jasmine said sighing, she then looked at everyone and they waited for her answer, "fine" she said and Natsu cheered, "let's go" Gray said gently pushing her forward. "Don't touch me" she said slapping his hand away. 

As they walked further into the island, they came across a huge gate, "the flyer says the chief sent this from a village on the island, I'm guessing this is it" Lucy said staring up at the gate, "this gate is huge," Jasmine said staring in amazement, "hello? Anyone home, we're here to help" Lucy called out, but no one responded, "let's bust in" Natsu said grinning, "no way" Lucy shouted at him. "Who goes there!" someone shouted from the top of the gate, "we're wizards from Fairy Tail responding to your request" Lucy said proudly, "why weren't we notified when you accepted the job" he said but Lucy didn't know what to say, so Jasmine stepped in, "sorry, there must have been a problem with the paperwork" she said, "then let me see your emblems" he said, and all of them revealed the emblems they had proving they were from the guild, the gate then opened, letting them inside. They walked in and saw the villagers were wearing cloaks to cover themselves, the smallest out of all of them stepped forward, "I am the Chief of this village, all pleasantness aside there is something you must see" he said, the all of them dropped their cloaks to reveal themselves, and they all had monstrous looking parts of their body, the same as Bobo from the boat. "Everyone on the island has suffered horrible disfigurement because of this curse, not even the animals have been spared" the Chief explained, and Jasmine couldn't help but feel terrible for these people, and Gray could see it on her face, "our symptoms began around the same time the moon fell under a evil spell, the moons colour had changed into an eerie purple glow," the Chief explained, then Happy looked up and saw the purple moon coming on, "look, it's coming out from behind the clouds" he said shaking in fear, "man that's creepy looking" Gray said, "stand back, the change is about to begin" the Chief said, everyone then started to scream in pain as their bodies were changing, Jasmine looked at them in horror, she didn't realize she grabbed Gray's arm, Gray looked at her and saw how concerned she was for them, so he didn't object to her action. Everyone of the villagers had turned into a monster, and they were all crying and trembling, "why is this happening to them?" Natsu said just as shocked. 

"As you have just witness, every time the moon comes out, everyone in the village takes on this horrific demon form, we return to normal when the sun comes out, however there are some of us poor souls who could not change back as they have lost their minds, we had no choice but to put them to death" the Chief explained, Gray felt Jasmine's hand clench around his arm as the Chief explained more, Gray then used his other hand and put it on top of hers, but once she realized what she was doing she quickly let go and stepped aside a bit, "but they might have changed back to normal some day" Natsu said, "if we wait for that to happen the monsters would surely kill us all, it's no use, I should know, I had to end my own son's life" the Chief said holding a picture out, and Jasmine noticed it was Bobo, "but we just-" Lucy began but Gray shushed her. "please lift this evil curse from our island, if we go on any longer we shall all fall victim to it, we'll die!" The Chief cried, "we're not gonna let that happen!" Jasmine said stepping forward, "there is only one way this curse will end....." The Chief began.

"The moon must be destroyed"
