The Fairy Tail Ninja

Chapter 18

   "The truth is, Ur's still alive." Gray said to the shocked team. "Still alive?" Naruto said in confusion. "What do you mean?" Erza asked.

   "It's been ten years, Deliora attacked my home town." Gray said, remembering what had happened. "I've never seen such destruction, the whole place was wiped out less than a day." Gray told in a sad manor.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   Ur and Lyon walked through the totaled place, "I've heard of Deliora's destructive power, but I never expected this." She said in disbelief.

   From afar, a young, weak Gray lay flat on his stomach, crushed by a giant rock boulder. Ur noticed. "Lyon! Get over here we've got a survivor!" Ur shouted to a young Lyon.

   Lyon turned around and gasped, "Hey are you alright!?" Lyon shouted. Gray groaned, he slowly opened his eyes. 

   "Ur and Lyon found me, they pulled me from the rubble." Gray continued.

      "Deliora, you're gonna pay for this, I'll stop you, I swear it." Gray said vengefully, tears trickling down his face as he laid the flowers on a grave. Ur looked at him sympathetically.

   "That vow, is how it all began." Gray said.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   Gray panted hard, "Are you gonna be able to keep up, Gray? I warned you, training with me can be tough." Ur said, turning around to give Gray a smile.

   "Yeah, but I'll do whatever it takes, I have to become stronger than Deliora! Cause someday I'm gonna beat him!" Gray vowed. "Yeah right." Lyon scoffed.

   "Okay, let's get started." Ur said, "Fine, ready when you are." Gray confidently said, before gasping when he saw his teacher strip right down to her bra and underwear.

   "Whoa! What are you doing!?" Gray asked nervously, "The first step is to strip." Ur answered calmly. Gray's face was flushed red.

   "Are you kidding me? You're crazy if you think I'm stripping in the snow! Back me up Lyon!" Gray shouted irately, looking over to Lyon. But only to find him naked to the boxers as well.

   "Now you're naked too!?" Gray shouted comically, "Just hurry up and do it kid, come one, you wanna learn magic right?" Lyon smirked.

   "I can't believe you're making me do this, it better not be some kind of joke!" Gray finally conceded reluctantly. Ur smiled.

   "Atta boy Gray, if you wanna control the cold than you'll have to become one with it, you'll get used to it soon." Ur said confidently. Gray stood there without his clothes, trembling and shivering from the cold, Lyon stood there, seemingly unaffected by the cold, but he was shivering just as much as Gray.

   "I already have." Lyon quivered, "You're shivering just as much as I am." Gray replied irately. "Let's go boys." Ur said, beginning to run. "I thought you were going to teach me magic!" Gray shouted. "Just run! I don't wanna do this beginner stuff either." Lyon shot back as the two young boys began following Ur.

   "I practice maker magic, out of all the magical arts, I feel this one gives you the most creative freedom." Ur said.

   Lyon held out on hand and summoned an ice gorilla, startling Gray. In response to this, Ur decked Lyon on the head.

   "In fact, every wizard who practices maker magic has their own unique style, if you train hard, than someday, you'll create a style all your own." Ur's voice, voiced over.
