The Fairy Tail Ninja

Chapter 16

   Gray laid there on the ground with his stomach laying flat, defeated by his childhood friend now turned enemy. 

  (Flashback)

   "What's the matter? Don't tell me you're giving up that easily, get up Gray, get up Gray!" Ur ordered. 

   (Flashback ends)

   "Get up Gray! Man you look rough, he beat the snot outta ya huh? If only Whiskers were here to patch you up." Natsu said.

   "Natsu, what are you doing here?" Gray asked weakly, "I didn't know how to get back to the village, so I climbed back up to look for it, come on, let's go." Natsu said, grabbing Gray gently by his shirt, lifting him up.

   "Wait, I can walk, where's Lyon?" Gray grumbled, "Don't know, by the time I made it back, everybody had vanished." Natsu said, as Gray slowly got up but immediately began falling back down. But he was held up by Natsu.

   Natsu took Gray and swung him lightly over his shoulders, which really was a big ball of ice. "Now hold on, we have to hurry and get back to the village before they do." Natsu said, as Gray widened his eye.

  (Flashback)

   "No way! Deliora is out of your league Gray! It'll kill you! Don't go!" Ur warned.

   "I am going on this s-class quest" Natsu said, "Natsu, you're way out of your league here just come home!" Gray replied.

   (Flashback ends)

   Gray gritted his teeth, "Hey." He called out weakly, "Yeah?" Natsu replied. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry I didn't believe in you, I'm no better." Gray apologized, tears streaming down his face.

   Natsu stopped walking, "Quit feeling sorry for yourself cause you lost a fight! You're a member of Fairy Tail, and we don't give up when time's are tough, so just put it behind you and keep moving forward!" Natsu said while Gray listened with shock.

   Natsu began running again, "Oh great, now it's even harder to run." He grunted, hoping over to each leg in order to move.

   "Listen up! The people who caused the curse that transformed you are planning an attack on the village!" Lucy warned.

   "They're gonna come down here to fight us?" One villager asked, "Yeah, but I've gotta plan, we'll capture them and lock them up until they tell us how to changer you back." Lucy said.

   All of the villagers began whispering and talking among each nervously, "Only thing is, I'm pretty sure those three are wizards! They're gonna be hard to catch!" Happy noted.

   "You're right, and you're the only one we got right now, well good luck." Lucy said bluntly, "Last time I checked, you're a wizard too!" Happy replied nervously.

   Lucy gasped and clasped her hands together excitedly, "I just had a brilliant idea!" She squealed, "Nothing good can come of this!" Happy whimpered.

   "What are you doing out here?" Moka asked, walking over to Lucy. "Chief!" The whole village called out. "We don't have much time sir, the enemy is gonna attack any second now!" Lucy warned.

   "Enemy?" Moka said confused, "The one's responsible for the curse that transformed your people! They've been hiding in the old temple in the jungle!" Lucy informed.

   "I don't care who's in the temple! Why haven't you destroyed the moon!?" Moka asked, "Well, you see, it wasn't the moon that did this to you exactly but now we know who did!" Lucy replied.
