Rae teleported all of them to the temple. They believed, Lyon's goal was to defeat Deliora and now he was there, preparing his plan. Gray told them about Lyon's aim had always been to surpass Ur. Now with Ur was gone, he wanted to defeat Deliora in order to surpass her. Bella shook her tiny head, saying Lyon was an idiot which was agreed by Happy. But then, he told them Ul was still alive somehow. Rae looked at him in question as she heard gasps behind her.

"What do you mean?"

He then told them on how Deliora had destroyed his village ten years ago and he was saved by Ur and Lyon who just happened to pass by. He then was raised by her and he was determined to beat Deliora. He exclaimed on he heard some people were talking about Deliora at Brago and he went there against Ur's words to defeat it in order to avenge his family. The brown haired girl held his hand in hers tightly. Then, she looked ahead.

Natsu!

Rae could hear his thoughts from outside of the temple. Lucy and Happy tilted their heads, looking at the temple weirdly as it was not like before. Must be Natsu. Rae let a smirk built on her lips. "Who knew that his tendency for destructions could actually come in handy?" Lucy asked while rubbing the back of her head, staring at the temple. Erza then pushed Lucy and Happy aside as sudden many shurikens were thrown at them. Rae created a shadow barrier and secured them from the attacks.

"Who's there?" Lifting her head, the brown haired girl asked them with a dark glare on her face.

"We've found you, Fairy Tail. We won't allow you to interfere Reitei-sama."

All of them jumped, dodging attacks. Those were Lyon's followers and now the team were surrounded, quite useless actually since they were Fairy Tail members. And there's no doubt that the team could easily defeat them. Erza summoned her sword and told Gray to leave them for her. Rae watched Lucy took out her whip and grinned. Both girls told Gray to go and finish his business with Lyon. Gray glanced at Rae and she gave him a nod.

Telling Bella to stay with the girls, Rae teleported her and Gray inside the temple and as soon as they were inside, Gray had punched the ice wall and broke it. They saw Lyon was battling Natsu. Rae put her hand on the Fire Dragon Slayer shoulder, telling him to let Gray handle that. Natsu nodded, stepping back. "Don't lose this time."

"I won't." He grinned and looked at Rae with a soft smile. He turned to Lyon and put a blank look on his face.

"I'll finish this. It was my fault that Ur died three years ago. Hurting my friends, hurting the villagers, trying to melt that ice, I can't forgive you for those. I'll punish you for them all, Lyon." Then, he took a pose. Rae heard Lyon muttering about something Iced Shell. She furrowed her eyebrow, keeping her eyes on Gray. "Return the villagers to the way they were, take your goons and leave this island immediately. This is the last chance I will give you."

Lyon let out a chuckle, tilting his head and asking him if Gray can bluff him with that magic. Rae looked at Lyon with a question. What magic? Then, Lyon sent attacks to him but failed. The brown haired girl witnessed magic aura around Gray was getting stronger and she put her arm on her head, covering her face from the wind. "No matter how many years pass, it won't change the fact that it's my fault Ur's dead. I have to take responsibility sometime, so now's the time. I'm prepared to die!"

Rae, Natsu, Erza, everyone at Fairy Tail, it's up to you now. Sorry, but this is my ending.

Rae's eyes widened at the thought as she quickly sprinted to him and slapped his cheek hard with tears in her eyes. Silence started to fill the room. "You idiot!" She screamed on his face, clenching her fists as Gray fell on his knees, staring at the ground lifelessly. He then regained himself back and yelled at her. The girl stood on her place unfazed by his outburst. "How could you? How could you dare to think of leaving me? Leaving Fairy Tail?" Rae King spoke with venom in her voice as dark shadows started to form around her.
