Juvia and Gray continued their intense battle against Deliora as the Magic Council was discussing their current situation. 

"Do you think that Gray and that water girl will be able to do something about that demon?" 

"I don't know..."

-

"Levy, how is the lacrima coming along?" Makarov asked.

"It's getting there master, it will take a lot of time to repair," she answered.

Lucy blinked as she heard someone whisper her name. She looked back and forth seeing Happy outside the guild hall motioning for her to come to him. Lucy sighed and walked over to meet Happy outside the doors.

"What is it?" she asked.

Next thing she knew, Natsu appeared beside her.

"Lucy, Happy and I are going to Gray."

"You can't, the master said not to. Besides it's a full day's trip to meet them where they are," Lucy proved a point.

"We can get there in half the time with Happy!" Natsu said.

"But Natsu, I can't carry Lucy, she needs to lose weight first," Happy teased.

"You better watch it cat!" Lucy said angrily.

"Don't worry Happy, it'll be this one time, I promise."

Happy nodded, agreeing to help.

"So what do you say Lucy?" Natsu offered again.

"Natsu, Master Makarov said no."

"Gramps can eat it. I need to be there for my friends, I'm worthless being here," Natsu said.

Lucy sighed lightly and stood there thinking for awhile.

"Well?" he questioned her.

"Okay... Let's do it Natsu!" Lucy answered in determination.

"I'm all fired up!" Natsu smiled.

"Aye Sir!" Happy cheered.

"Alright let's grab a quick bite, then head over to Gray and Juvia!" Natsu grinned.

"There's no time!" Lucy shouted.

-

Gray and Juvia kept fighting Deliora with all of their might.

"Ice hammer!"

"Water Slicer!"

The attacks would hit but they did no real damage to the mighty demon. Deliora's veins kept popping out of his skin as he slammed his hands together, forming a giant sound wave that sent Gray and Juvia flying through the air. He laughed as he beat his fists against his chest.

"He's a lot tougher than I thought he was going to be..." Gray panted.

"There's no need to worry Gray-sama, we can take him down," Juvia told him.

"Just what exactly are you two whispering about over there? If it's about my demise, you are sadly mistaken" Deliora smiled.

Gray stumbled up and lifted Juvia off her feet. He slammed his hands together,
"Ice make...Rain!"

Small, but sharp icicles fell from above all over Deliora and his rough skin. He slightly flinched and fell on his knee.

"Juvia go!" Gray called.

"Water Slicer!" Juvia yelled.

A giant scythe of water crashed into Deliora, he felt his body slowly being affected.

"I'm glad to have a challenge!" Deliora smirked.

-

"Master Makarov! We fixed the lacrima!" Laki announced.

"Excellent."
