Word Count:1418

Hibiki's POV:
Lyon, Tyraea and I all got off the boat at the shore of Galuna Island and started to make our way towards the center of the island where the village was, we had to know if the villagers knew where our friends were and what they were planning on doing. I noticed Tyraea's hand tighten its grip on my own, she was worried about Jellal and Erza and the others. Lyon and I were worried too but this was her brother so I could understand her worry,

''Ty, everything's going to be okay they are the strongest team in fairytail I'm sure that no matter whats going on here they are okay. They'll pull through you just have to believe in them cause Lyon and I do even if we are worried about them'' I said turning to face her with a reassuring smile she looked up to me before burying her face into my chest and hugging me tightly, I could tell that she was trying her best not to cry,

 ''I know I do believe in their strength and unity, Hibiki but my brother had already been possessed by Zeref and as a matter of fact so was I, so what if something like that is happening again?'' She muttered and she hugged me tighter, I returned the grip around her and looked to Lyon who walked over and put a hand on her shoulder

''I know how you feel, Gray is like a brother to me, we're just as close as you are to Jellal and Erza, lets just keep going to the village and ask if they know anything about any of this alright?'' Lyon said she looked back then hugged him too before nodding.

''Your right guys, now's not the time to get all emotional we just have to keep pressing on to save our friends and family. Come on'' Tyraea said with new found determination as we started off again to the centre of Galuna island.

Tyraea's POV:
As we were walking through the woods I heard a rustle in the bushes, Hibiki and Lyon instantly moved to in front of me protectively and readied their magic but for some reason I didn't think whatever was there was a danger to us, I had sensed someone following us through this little area for about 5 minuets and if they were an enemy I'm pretty sure they would have attacked by now, before letting their presence be known to us,

''guys wait!'' I said stopping them, they both gave me a weird look as I pushed past them and walked towards the bushes,

''Ty, please be careful love'' Hibiki warned in a shaky voice,

''yeah we don't know who our enemies are it could be dangerous to go yourself'' Lyon added on but I just turned to them with a smile  

''don't worry'' I replied soothingly as I pushed the bushes aside and walked into them, someone started falling towards me, I quickly reached my arms out and caught them before they could hit the ground. ''Oh god are you okay?......Wait Gray?!'' I shouted when I noticed that the one who had passed out was the shirtless ice mage, there was more rustling as Lyon and Hibiki ran through to meet me and they were just as shocked as I was at the state Gray was in.

''We have to get him to the village'' Lyon said as he picked up the unconscious Gray on his back and started off to wards the village at a faster pace this time, Hibiki and I nodded to one another just as worried about our friend and ran off after them.

''Halt who goes there!'' A voice shouted from the top of the tall gate to the village, we were about to reply when he seemed to notice Gray on Lyon's back and quickly shouted to one of his friends, ''quickly raise the gate! One of our guild friends has been hurt and his friends have brought him here!'' The gate quickly opened and we hurried inside as the villagers surrounded and told Lyon to follow them with Gray to the medical tent,

''I'll see you guys in a little bit, okay?'' Lyon said,

''yeah see you soon, stay with him until he's at least a little better okay?'' I said giving Lyon a quick hug which he returned with a nod then he hurried off with the villagers. I turned to Hibiki with a worried look which he returned but we walked the opposite way through the village so that we could meet with the chief and ask if he knew anything about where; Jellal, Erza, Natsu, Happy and Lucy were.

''Are you by any chance Fairytail wizards?'' An older voice said, we looked up to see the chief looking at us Hibiki looked to me and stepped forwards,

''no we're from the Blue Pegasus guild not Fairytail but Gray and the others are really close friends to us, I'm Hibiki Lates and this is Tyraea Fernandez, sister to Jellal Fernandez, the one who was with Gray was Lyon Vastia of the Lamia Scale guild. We were told that our friends from Fairytail were in some kind of danger from their master and we hurried to see if we could help them. Can you tell us anything of what happened before we arrived here?'' Hibiki said I stepped forwards so I was standing next to him, he took hold of my hand and gripped it tightly,

''I see I know very little of what is happening to them in all honesty. All I could tell you is the last we saw them and what they were looking to do'' the chief told us, I placed my hands on his shoulders and gripped them a little 

''even that will be enough, please we need to know what is going on so we stand a better chance of helping them'' I said trying to keep my voice as calm as I could, he seemed to have noticed the panic in my voice because he nodded with a smile and beckoned us to follow him to his tent. 

''The last time I saw them was about a day or two ago they had arrived here on our request, we had climbed up to the temple of the moon to give our usual offering however, once there we felt like something was off and when we entered the deepest part of the temple we found a large block of ice and sealed within was a demon. We knew instantly that this had to be Deliora the demon of destruction as the great Ice mage Ur sealed it away using her body and iced shell.'' The chief said, I looked down slightly this place held so many memories for Natsu's team but Gray and Lyon must have it hardest with their master gone.

''I understand that you would be worried. After all the last time they were all here didn't the ice around Deliora melt and didn't Natsu defeat the demon since it was never as strong as it used to be because the iced shell had been weakening it over the past three years that they had been melting the ice?'' Hibiki asked, the chief nodded sadly 

''that's what we had assumed too, however it seems that someone has found a way to turn back time for the demon to a week or two before the demon was released and now they are planning on freeing it again. As for your friends like I said I know nothing of them after they left to investigate the frozen demon, perhaps the ice mage will be able to tell you something when he regains consciousness'' just as the chief said that Lyon came running into the tent,

''Hibiki! Ty! Its Gray he's awake, and even though he's weak he says he knows what happened to him and the others and where we could find them!'' Lyon shouted, that we both stood up and thanked the chief before following Lyon through to the medical tent where Gray was laying with bandaged wrapped all around him, he looked over to us and gave us a weak smile. My eyes filled as I ran over to him and engulfing him in a hug, ensuring I wasn't putting too much pressure on his injuries.

''Gray your okay! I'm so glad!'' I shouted as I nuzzled him, he chuckled a little and hugged me back, we soon pulled back so that Hibiki and Lyon could give him a bro hug then we all sat down around his bed so that he could tell us what it was he remembered.
