Cursed Island

Natsu: Previously on Fairy Tail: Legend of Aang.

The scene where Aang first battled with Erigor is shown

Happy: Eisenwald tried to get revenge on Fairy Tail, but they were stopped by Natsu and Aang, but Aang still won't join our guild.

Both Natsu and Aang are seen working together to defeat Erigor, later Aang declines Makarov's offer.

Natsu: Yeah something about leaving his old friends or something like that?

Aang was talking to Avatar Roku and it was revealed he couldn't help him.

Aang: Uh what are you two doing?

Natsu gives Aang, a thumbs up after assuring him they would figure out the situation.

Natsu: Let's do a job Aang!

Natsu is seen trying to fight Laxus but is stopped by Makarov.

Aang: I'm not part of your guild remember, plus I kinda have other things to worry about.

Aang wonders what he got himself into after seeing several guild members fighting.

It was not long before Aang had gotten acquainted with everyone in the guild and he learned of their very destructive nature, although he could relate on a smaller scale as his group had also had their fair share of chaos in destroying Fire Navy vessels, assaulting the capital city of the Fire Nation, but destroying an entire town, was something he thought the bad guys would be capable of, but Fairy Tail are much more than capable, as destroying a huge mass of lands can be considered collateral damage, never the less Aang was stuck here so he figured he would at least get to know the members of Fairy Tail.

He made friends with Lucy and Mira right off the bat as they weren't amidst the chaos that would befall the guild on a regular basis, he was also on good terms with Natsu, enough to call him his friend, but wouldn't like to spend long amounts of time with him, although he would never tell Natsu that to his face, he was neutral terms with Gray as the two never talked much, the same could be said for Erza, he still couldn't understand why many of the guild members referred to her in a scary tone, he was especially surprised when Lucy told him that Erza is one of the most powerful mages she has ever seen. And the fire eating Natsu was the strongest person he had come into contact with so much as she reminded him of a certain blind earthbender, he did his best to stay out of her way.

Aang, despite all the noise was meditating on one of the tables and he sensed the presence of a person he knew far too well already despite only being in this world for a couple of hours. "Hey Aang, what are you doing?"

"I'm meditating, to see if there is a way I can get out of here, hopefully it will come to me while I'm focusing. Anyway, what brings you here?"

Natsu pointed at him.

"I want you to fight me." He said and Aang simply sweat-dropped.

"We've been through this before, Natsu I'm not going to fight you." Aang said after a long sigh.

"Too bad because here I come!" He yelled and he ran over to Aang ready to punch him and he jumped high and he was now on one of the support beams on the roof.

"I'm not going to fight you, besides if we did, I'm pretty sure the guild hall would be destroyed in the process."

"He is three mages in one Natsu, you can't win." Happy stated.

This suddenly attracted several guild members interest. "What did you say, Happy?"

"Aang can use Fire, Wind and Earth magic." Happy explained.

"Is this true?" Gray asked.

"Well yes and no, I can actually manipulate the four elements, but I don't use magic to do it. They don't exist in your world, but I'm what's called a bender. But not everyone in my world can bend at all, in fact most people are just ordinary people."

"Who is this Fire Lord you keep talking about?" Natsu asked.

"Well, I'll give you a glimpse of it, but he is the leader of the Fire Nation in my world, they have been trying to take over my world for a hundred years and Fire Lord Ozai is the most powerful Firebender there is."

Natsu punched his fist into his left hand. "This Fire Lord Onion sounds powerful." A smirk later appeared on his face.

"You mean Ozai, Natsu." Happy corrected him.

"Our worlds are separate there is no way you'll be able to meet, and say you do try to fight him, he can kill you unless you can eat lightning. Anyway, this world seems kind of peaceful except for those Eisenwald guys, so why do you guys form guilds anyway?"

"Guilds are here to assist people in need and also to sometimes catch fugitives and do other jobs here and there." Erza said.

"Okay, I understand, but what's in it for you though?"

Lucy began to speak. "Each job comes with a reward, and we can use that money to sustain ourselves. I use the money I earn to pay for my rent."

"Why don't you just live here?" Aang asked.

"It's much more expensive to live in Fairy Hills. It is much more expensive than my rent."

Aang's eyes and his arrows glowed white for a second and he ran outside.

"Aang, what is it?" Gray asked and the Airbender saw the similar aurora he saw before he was brought to Earthland, after he ran out of the guild hall.

"I know I've seen that before." He said but he saw it quickly faded.

"I would have never gotten there fast enough to see what happened." He said to himself.

Later Aang was trying to sleep in the storage closet but he wasn't able to as he was tossing around because of the discomfort of the floor. Deciding the act of sleep would be futile he got up then put on the heavy black jacket he was given and he walked out of the guild hall. He saw that the moon, high in the sky was shining through the windows and he heard a creak of one of the floor boards figuring it would have been an intruder and he heard it on the second floor of the building. He made a small vortex below his feet to enhance his jump and he glared at the possible enemy but what he was looking at was the shadow of a feline with wings. Aang got out of his fighting stance as he saw both Natsu and Happy taking a request off the board.

"Natsu, Happy? What are you doing here?"

"We're doing a job!" Happy said.,

"At this time? And didn't your master say you weren't allowed up here on the second floor?"

"Gramps gave us permission just now, right Happy?"

"Aye!" The blue cat exclaimed.

"You should come with us, Aang."

"I'm not really part of you guys: don't I have to be part of this guild to do jobs with you?"

"Who said so?"

"I guess it couldn't hurt to come with you two. Who knows it could even be fun." Aang said to himself.

Later the three were now outside of Lucy's apartment.

"I don't know if we should be sneaking in like this." Aang told Happy and Natsu.

"Lucy lets us come in whenever we want." Happy said.

"I guess that would make it okay, but we have to have a talk about why it is necessary to sneak into her place like this."

Happy tried picking the lock with his claws but it wasn't working.

"I have an idea, but it's a very reckless one."

"Tell us Aang!" Natsu happily exclaimed. Aang got in a stiff stance with his legs bent and he made a hole in the ground.

"We can get to Lucy's apartment this way."

"Great job, let's get inside!"

"Aye!"

About thirty minutes later Lucy opens the door to her home and she finds Natsu and Happy exercising in her room and Aang was floating on an Air Scooter in the corner of her room. She performed a high-pitched squeal and knocked Aang down.

"Well Lucy's here." Aang said as he got to his feet.

"What are you doing here!?" She yelled demanding an answer.

"We're getting ready for a job, you want to come?" Natsu asked as he was doing sit ups.

"LEAVE!" She screamed out. Happy walked in front of her holding the request they took off of the request board.

"S-Class." Happy said showing it to her and her face of irritation turned to complete fear and she screamed as her blonde hair began standing up on end.

"I don't get it, why are you screaming like that?" Aang asked.

"Do you know how much trouble we will be in if we do this! I want no part of this!" She exclaimed.

"What do you mean trouble?" Aang asked.

"Only S-Class wizards can do those requests, if you guys go out there Master will kill you three!" She exclaimed.

"What!" Aang exclaimed. "I thought you said you had permission!"

Happy began pushing his paws together. "We kinda lied."

Natsu opened the window and Happy flew to his side.

"You coming Lucy?" She asked.

"I want no part of it!" She exclaimed and the two jumped out.

"At least use the door!" She yelled but she saw a hole in the corner of her room and she gave a scary look at Aang.

"Hey, in my defense they told me that you normally allowed them in here, but I guess I should have thought this through. I'll fix the hole when I get back."

"You're going with them?"

"From the vibes those two give off, it sounds like they are bold or dumb enough to even try this job, I at least have to go with them to make sure nothing happens, oh and when the Master finds out, you tell him it was my idea." He jumped out the window as well and Lucy began thinking about what they said.

She picked up the request and she looked at the reward.

"*One of the rewards is one of the twelve Zodiac keys!*" She exclaimed in her mind.

Meanwhile the three attempting the job were walking down the street from Lucy's apartment.

"I can't believe that Lucy didn't want to come with us." Natsu said.

"I can, she just doesn't want to get in trouble with the guild, you do know what you two are doing is reckless right?" Aang asked.

"So why are you coming with us?"

"I'm going to make sure that you don't get killed, besides I want to see some of this world for myself anyway."

"I thought Lucy would have liked the reward."

"Guessing that seven million jewel is worth loads in this place, I don't think that's worth getting kicked out of the guild, besides I told Lucy that if anyone found out she would tell them it was my idea.

Endless tears began coming out of Happy's eyes.

"You're so nice!" He exclaimed.

"Natsu, Aang!" A familiar voice exclaimed and they saw Lucy running towards them and she held the request in her hand.

"I thought you wouldn't come with us." Aang said.

"I thought about what you said before you left, I can't just leave you guys to do this by yourself."

"Liar." Happy simply said.

"You just want to get one of the 12 Zodiac Keys don't you?" He asked.

"SHUT UP! CAT!" Lucy yelled as she got in Happy's face.

Aang began to think why she would risk her life for a key, but he figured he would get his answer soon. Soon the four began to travel down Magnolia so they could begin the job.

The next day at Fairy Tail was very much uneventful although they noticed that Aang had left and most figured he would be going out to explore the world, he wasn't obligated to stay with them since he wasn't rooted to their guild.

Makarov was drinking his beer and Mirajane ran down the stairs looking panicked.

"Master! One of the S-Class requests is missing!" She exclaimed.

Makarov didn't look like he heard her but he later spit out his drink as what Mira told him had finally finished processing in his head.

"WHAT!" He yelled.

Suddenly many members of the guild began to speculate as to who would have taken the request, and they figured someone either really stupid or really strong, but the deliberating was stopped by a buff figure with a purple shirt and spiked headphones who spoke up. "I saw a blue cat with wings fly up and rip it off."

"That was Happy? So that means it was Natsu who took it!" Mira figured.

"All I said was I saw a blue cat with wings take it, I never said that it was Happy, oh and I also caught a glimpse of a bald kid going with them."

Both Mira and Makarov's eyes widen.

"Aang went with them!?" Makarov exclaimed. "This is not good, Aang has never done a request before, let alone a S-Class request, he can't handle it!"

"Why didn't you stop them Laxus?!" Mira questioned glaring at him.

"I never thought Natsu would break the rules like that, and I never thought the kid would be dumb enough to go with them. I assume that he will be expelled, and that is if he ever comes back."

"Laxus! You will go after them!" Makarov yelled.

Laxus let out a chuckle. "As if. I have much better things to do, besides isn't everyone in Fairy Tail supposed to take care of themselves?"

"You are the only one who is strong enough to bring back Natsu and Aang."

"On the contrary. He's not the only one who can do that." Ryu argued.

"Let's go." He, Gray and Ash walked out of the building to find them.

The Haregon port in Haregon City was filled with people and it was also filled with sailors taking people to their destinations that would be across the sea.

In the Meanwhile Aang was holding the request and he began reading it. "It says that we have to head to Galuna Island, so we might want to take a boat to get there."

"Forget the boat let's just swim there!"

"WHAT!" Lucy exclaimed. "We are not swimming!" she angrily exclaimed.

"Well it's not a horrible option; we could just get across using my waterbending." Aang added.

"Huh? You can control water too?!" Happy asked. Aang made a large drop of water stand up and he froze it to demonstrate is control of water. "That's perfect! We can swim Lucy!"

"WE'RE NOT SWIMMING!" She said with her hair standing up on end again and flames were behind her.

"*Even Lucy can be scary at times… make a mental note of that.*" Aang thought. "Okay, you win. We'll find a boat to take us there." He said as he held the request.

Aang began asking around with the three following him asking for a boat to take them to Galuna Island, but the reaction they got was the same, the sailors were too scared to take them to the Cursed Island, one boater after another refused to take them, even when Aang told them they would get a split of the reward much to Natsu and Lucy's annoyance. Aang began looking out to sea.

"Right now, swimming doesn't seem like such a bad idea anymore." The Air Nomad said.

"NO WAY!" Lucy yelled.

"So you can control Air, Earth, Wind, and Water huh, Aang?" Natsu asked

"Well yes, but I assumed you already knew that, but why are you asking?"

Natsu punched his fist into his hand. "When we get back, we are going to fight you and me!"

"I'm not going to fight you! First of all we have no reason to fight in the first place. Geez why do you like fighting so much?"

"I want to become stronger, so that I can find Igneel." Natsu said.

"Igneel? Who is that?"

"Igneel is the Dragon that trained me. He is the one who taught me my Fire Dragon Slayer magic. He disappeared a long time ago without saying anything."

"Natsu was raised by Igneel." Happy said. "When you bring up dragons, Igneel is all he thinks about." Happy added.

"How convenient, we have dragons in my world too. They were the ones who taught Firebending to humans in ancient times, In fact. I've met them masters and they helped me realize that I could use Firebending to protect rather than destroy, and the Avatar before me had a Dragon too."

"Perfect! Maybe they know where Igneel is." Natsu said with confidence

Lucy sweat dropped. "They are in another world so he may not have the chance to ask them." She muttered.

"Aye." Happy agreed while sweat dropping too.

"*I should probably leave out the part that Dragons were slain by Firebenders and that they are very rare to find.*" Aang thought. "So let's continue our search. To get to this cursed Island."

"Natsu!" A voice yelled out.

The trio saw Ryu, Ash and Gray behind them.

Natsu glared at Gray.

"What are you doing here, Gray?" He asked.

"We came to bring you back and keep you from doing something stupid. Return to the guild hall now and you won't be kicked out of Fairy Tail." Ryu answered.

"Kicked out!" Lucy said as she began to panic. "I don't want to be kicked out of the guild."

"That tears it. If this will risk your positions in the guild, then this is a bad idea, I say we go back." Aang now knew the gravity of the situation. If he went along with them he figured he would take most of the blame but if the consequence was them being kicked out, he wouldn't risk it even if he was going to take most of the blame in the first place.

"Forget it! If we complete this request Gramps will have to make us S-Class mages." Natsu said.

"As much as I don't want to agree with that logic, I don't think it will play out that way. You should really go back."

"Listen to him, besides you don't want Erza coming after the three of you." Gray said, gaining a serious expression.

Suddenly Natsu, Lucy and Happy's face became frozen with fear.

"Erza will come after us!" Happy said. "Help me Gray, I didn't want to do this, but they forced me!"

"You lying cat!" Lucy screamed at Happy.

"You're the one who stole the request in the first place!" Aang exclaimed.

"I'm doing this and you can't stop me." Natsu said and flames surrounded his fist.

"We'll see." Ryu remarked as dark fire enveloped his fist. A golden light trailed off Ash's body and Gray put the side of his right hand to the palm of his left hand and a cold wind was seen from the space in between them.

Suddenly a person walked up to them.

"Excuse me, but are you wizards?" He asked. "Did you want to lift the curse?"

"Yeah." Natsu replied.

"That would be us." Aang added.

"Uh, yes." Lucy said hesitantly.

"Come with me." He said directing them to his boat.

"Not so fast!" Gray yelled but Natsu punched him in the gut and knocked him out.

"You wanna tell me why you did that?" Aang asked.

"We can't let Gray head back to the guild with them, if that happens. They will send Erza after us." And he, along with Happy and Lucy began to shudder in fear.

Night fell and the six were still on the boat and Aang looked forward as he sat next to Lucy.

"Uh was tying Gray up really necessary, I mean even if he did go back and got Erza, what could she do. She is your friend, right?"

Lucy's eyes widened. "Erza is not that kind of person, I can only imagine what she will do to us if she finds us."

"Erza is the scariest person ever." Happy stated.

This now got Aang to think of Azula and of course Ozai, and Zuko on a previous encounter on the numerous times the Firebender tried to capture him.

"I don't know, she does seem strict but not scary, however scary Erza is, I've known worse." He looked and he saw Natsu moaning and his cheeks were hugely puffed and a part of his face was blue as he looked over the side of the boat.

"Hey, what's wrong with Natsu?"

"Motion sickness. It's something all Dragon Slayers have to deal with." Ryu informed him.

Happy nodded.

"Well that's a weakness that is… well uncommon."

"I'm gonna hurl…" He moaned as he looked into the sea.

Aang looked to Lucy who looked nervous. "About being kicked out of the guild don't worry about it. If it comes down to it. I'll just tell them that it was my idea and that I begged you guys to come with me."

"But why would you do that?" Lucy asked now surprised that Aang would take the fall for them.

"That's just who I am, besides this way it will cause less conflict within the guild and hopefully you guys will be left off the hook."

"Don't bother trying to take the fall for them." Ryu replied. "Happy was seen taking the request and you were observed leaving the guild hall by Laxus. They're more likely to believe a S-Class wizard over you."

"Laxus? The guy with the scar on the right side of his face? He's an S-Class wizard too?"

"Yeah. So am I. Erza and Mira are one as well." Ryu stated.

"Mira is an S-Class wizard? She looks like she wouldn't hurt a fly."

Gray began to chuckle. "That's where you are wrong, Mira used to be scary and she and Erza used to fight all the time, but that was before Lisanna..."

"Who's Lisanna?" Aang and Lucy asked.

"Story for another time." Ryu interjected.

"Where are we heading?" Ash asked the sailor.

"My name is Bobo, I used to live on Galuna Island."

"But why are you here now?" Lucy asked.

"I had to leave because of the curse, anyone who steps on the island will have tragedy fall upon them, unless you can find some way to lift the curse." Bobo then took off a part of his cloak. His left arm was dark and he had very jagged fingers and joints which outlined their demonic appearance.

"This is the curse of the demon." Aang, Lucy, Gray and Happy had shocked looks on their faces, but this was not uncommon to Aang, this wouldn't be a hard case to solve if this was the cause of an upset spirit, but since those kinds of spirits don't exist in this world it wouldn't be so easy. It wasn't a surprise as there are angry spirits who would do this because of their hatred of humanity, besides he dare not bring up Koh the Face Stealer.

"We are almost there." He told them.

They all noticed something odd about the island as they got closer.

"Uh, why is the island glowing?" Lucy asked.

"Okay, I've seen many things but glowing islands are pretty new to me!" They all looked to Bobo, but they saw that he had disappeared and Aang's eyes widened while Lucy, Gray and Happy looked surprised.

"Hey, do you guys hear something?" Ash asked out of nowhere.

They all looked back and they saw a huge wave behind the boat and it was going to crash right on them.

"It's a tidal wave!" Happy yelled.

"Don't worry!" Aang made the boat ride on top of the wave and Aang was trying to concentrate but he couldn't do it very well over Lucy and Happy's screaming and he moved in a flowing motion and the wave got smaller but it was still very difficult to manage and water was starting to seep into the boat as it was slowly breaking apart he then got it to slow but they were quickly approaching the shore and the were approaching a rock and Aang had to move the rock out of the way but in doing so the boat was about to be hit by the wave and he froze the huge wave that was about to engulf them and the boat slid gently to shore. He panted and he saw that his friends had now fallen unconscious, from the panic.

"I guess I should just wait until the come too. I won't get a better chance than now." He said to himself as he distanced himself away from the boat and he sat in the sand and he began to meditate.

Lucy slowly opened her eyes and she found that she was in the boat and she saw Gray, Natsu and Happy were still asleep. Ash and Ryu had already woken up and were staring at the forest. She noticed that Aang was missing. "Where is he? Huh." she noticed him farther away from the boat and he looked like he was meditating. She walked in front of him and she waved her hand in front of his face to make sure he wasn't sleeping and he opened his one eye and she quickly backed away.

"Lucy… how are the others doing?" He asked

"They are asleep, but they should be okay."

"That's great." He said and Lucy looked to the water and found the wave was frozen.

"Did Gray do that?" She asked

"Huh? Gray can control ice, that would explain why he and Natsu don't get along, but no that was me." She got shocked. "It's just a variant of Waterbending, I can turn water to ice and vice versa, if there is water in anything then it is possible to control it, but that depends on the power of the waterbender of course." He explained and he sighed.

"What is wrong, Aang?" she asked and she knelled next to him

"The thought chakra…" he muttered to himself.

"The what?"

"It's a kind of Chakra that I wasn't able to unblock... well at the right time."

"Okay, what is a Chakra?"

Aang began to think about how he could explain it to her. "Think of it like pools of energy, it's like a stream and the water that flows through it is the energy itself, but the fallen trees and the rocks in the way are… let's call them emotional blocks, they prevent the energy from flowing freely."

"I think I get it."

"Anyway, I needed to unblock all of them so I could get into the Avatar State, before you ask…" Aang started knowing Lucy would ask him. "It's a power that grants me all the power and knowledge of all the past Avatars, it's when I am at my most powerful."

"That's awesome!" Lucy exclaimed while winking at him

"Not really… I was able to fully gain control of it, but I was shot with lighting in the back by one of my enemies, because of that, the Chakra is blocked and I can't get into the Avatar State anymore." He said as he threw a pebble into the water. If only I unblocked it sooner, then maybe I wouldn't have been shot in the first place and I would have been able to defeat Azula and possibly the Fire Lord too. Now I've been defeated by the Fire Lord and I've ended up here."

"It can't be your fault you're here." Lucy said.

"Yes it is, if I let go of Katara sooner, then maybe…" Aang jumped up onto his feet. "Actually never mind, forget what I said, let's just say ultimately I wouldn't be here if I hung onto something that was a long shot in the first place." Lucy remained on the sand on her knees.

"Aang…" she muttered to herself.

Suddenly they both saw Happy walking up to them with a simple look on his face. "You liiiike him." He said while rolling his tongue.

Lucy did a high pitched scream and yelled at the winged feline. "IT'S NOT LIKE THAT!"

Later Natsu and Gray now out of his restraints got up and walked to the three of them. "So whatcha gonna do now? You have no way to get back!" Natsu said.

"I'm going to help you guys." He said.

"Really Gray?" Aang asked sounding a bit skeptical.

"Natsu had a point, if we complete this mission, Gramps will have to acknowledge us for completing it." He told them. "Besides I can't let you and Lucy reach S-Class before me." He said while smirking.

"Should have seen this coming." Aang muttered. "If that is the case, I might as well help you guys out, I wouldn't feel right if I just left you guys here to do this all by yourselves, I want to help as much as I can."

"Yeah, I'm getting fired up!" Natsu said and he began running down the beach. "Let's do this, Happy!"

"Aye Sir!" he happily yelled

"Wait Natsu!" Gray yelled running after them.

"You get used to it, you say… well it's slowly happening." Aang said to Lucy.

The group of seven traveled for a couple of hours until they got to a pair of huge gates that looked made of huge wooden pillars put together the same was said for the gates that let people in and out and on the doors of the gate were the words 'keep out'

"Well that's kind of ominous." Aang muttered.

"Is anyone there?!" Lucy began to yell. "We came to help you!"

After some time, they got no answer. "Maybe they are all sleeping." Aang guessed.

"I saw we bust in!" Natsu said.

"You just live for breaking things, don't you?"

They heard a voice from behind the wall. "Who goes there?"

Lucy decided to answer the voice. "We are wizards from Fairy Tail, we are responding to your request."

"We weren't notified that you'd accepted the request?" The voice said.

They all tried to come up with a reason and as Aang was about to come up with a reason. Grey walked forward.

"Let me see your guild emblems. Right now!" The voice demanded.

In response Lucy lifted up her right hand and the Fairy Tail emblem was imprinted on her right hand, Gray unbuttoned his blue shirt and lifted his black shirt and it revealed the guild emblem that was imprinted on the right side of his chest. Ryu turned around and raised his shirt to reveal a red emblem on his back. Natsu turned to reveal the dark red emblem of the guild on his right shoulder. Happy moved the pack on his back and it revealed his green guild emblem on his back. Finally Ash pointed to the yellow emblem on the upper right side of his body.

"How come I don't see yours!" The voice asked in an intimidating voice.

"I'm not part of any guild. If want me to leave I can do that, but by sounds of this request you'll need all the wizards you can get, I just came across these guys on my way here."

The person didn't answer and the door to the village opened and the five walked in to see a crowd of villagers assembled in the middle of the village the villagers were wearing some cloths and cloaks that were concealing parts of their bodies. A short old man walked into the middle of the crowd with a staff with a silver crescent moon rock on the end of it. "I am Moka, the village chief." He said.

Aang walked to him and he put his right fist to the lower part of his left palm and he bowed to Moka. "Greetings chief. It's great to meet you."

"Uh Aang, what are you doing?" Happy asked.

"Oh sorry, must be force of habit." He told his friends behind him.

"All greetings aside, there is something we must show you. Now, my people." He said and all the villagers took down their robes and cloaks and just like Bobo that had demonic parts on their bodies, this consisted of horns to demonic limbs, and even children were afflicted with this.

"They are just like the guy on the boat." Gray said as the group wasn't hugely surprised as they saw this apart from Natsu.

"There defiantly is something up with this island." Aang added.

Natsu walked up to the chief. "Oh wow! Your sideburns are huge!" he exclaimed as his sideburns stretched down and were half the length of his body.

"Seriously, that is what you notice out of... oh wow, they really *are* huge!" Aang exclaimed. "That's longer than anything I've ever seen, it's even longer that Roku's beard!"

"Who?" Natsu asked

"NOT THAT YOU IDIOTS!" Moka yelled at the two as an anime vain was on his forehead. "I'm talking about my arm!" as he held up his purple claw. "Everyone on this island is suffering from the curse."

"Can you tell us what happened, how did this happen?"Grey asked

Moka began to look up. "It started when the moon fell under an evil spell."

"An evil spell?" Lucy said.

"Ever since ancient times this island has absorbed the light of the moon, which caused it to glow as bright as the moon itself." Moka began to explain. "But as of three years ago, the moon's light turned purple and it covered this island in its glow."

"Look! The moon is coming from behind the clouds!" Happy exclaimed and the moon what was now a purplish white colour and this now made a glow that spread down to the village.

"Stand back! The change is upon us!" Moka yelled. The villagers began to change and they all suddenly became terrifyingly looking demons from the moon's glow they also gained horns and more demonic features on their bodies. "I am sorry if our appearance frightens you."

"Well if going back was an option, it isn't now! We have to help them." Aang said.

"These poor people." Lucy said to herself while having a slightly horrified face.

"Oh man." Natsu started before going on. "YOU GUYS LOOK SO COOL!" He happily exclaimed. "Your horns look so awesome!" He said and Aang and Gray sighed

"Natsu!" Lucy said before slapping the back of his head. "That's mean! They don't want to be like this!" She angrily said.

"Really? Well we should help them then."

"As you can see, whenever the moon comes out everyone turns to a demonic form but we return to normal before the sun rises, but some of us lose our minds and we never change back." His voice began to sound sad. "The only thing we can do for those poor souls is put them to death."

The group now was terrified but Aang's face turned from terror to one of anger. "That is..." the group then looked at him. "That is unacceptable!" He yelled in anger. "They may have lost their human form but inside they are still themselves inside! Maybe they were dangerous, but to kill people that you have spent your entire lives with because of a curse is... is just unthinkable!" He yelled and suddenly a very faint glow was seen from the visual parts of his Air bender tattoos and only Lucy saw this. The faint glow died down and Aang calmed down and he sighed.

"I'm sorry you feel that we, but if we wait too long they will kill us all." Moka said. "We've tried to capture them but they always break free." He said as he began to cry. "There is no way to reverse this curse, it has even forced me to take the life of my own son." He said as he pulled out a photograph and he dropped it letting the others see the person and they recognized the person as Bobo who brought them to the island.

"That's the guy who took us here on the boat. We just saw him yesterday and..." Lucy said as she realized a scary fact.

"WE SAW HIS GHOST!" Natsu, Happy and Lucy exclaimed in fear

"Or his spirit..." Aang added and now he began to feel bad for yelling at him before as it hurt him the most as he made a very hard decision.

"Please, lift the curse. If you don't it will only be a matter of time before we fall victim to it and die!"

Aang walked to him. "I'm sorry for what I said before. You had to make a very tough decision. Whatever this curse is, I'm not leaving this island until it's broken."

"You and me both Aang!" Natsu said. "We're going to fix this, I promise."

"There is only one way to lift the curse." Moka told them and they began to listen. "The Moon... the moon must be destroyed!" he told them and all of their eyes widened as they had just heard they were now tasked with the impossible task of destroying the moon.

The group was no in a cabin and they were contemplating what to do about destroying the moon as they all knew destroying the moon was an unrealistic solution.

"I'm not sure about this job." Natsu told them with a frustrated voice.

"How would we be able to destroy the moon?" Gray asked

"I wonder how many punches it will take?" Natsu asked and he raised his fist while holding his forearm.

"You're joking right?" Aang asked. "There is no way that anyone can destroy the moon. No matter how powerful they really are, it can't be done!" Aang exclaimed.

"But if we don't it will make Fairy Tail look bad!" Natsu exclaimed

"It's impossible Natsu." Lucy said in a shallow voice.

"How would you even get there?" She asked

"With Happy, of course!" Natsu said pointing at the blue feline.

"Huh?! Not going to happen." Happy said while turning his head.

"Even trying to destroy the moon isn't an option, we'll all be old before we can even figure out how to get to the moon, much less destroy it. No there has to be another way..." Aang said.

"Maybe we will find something if we investigate around the island." Lucy said. Suddenly a shirt was thrown in her face and Gray was now in his silver necklace and his boxers and both Aang and Lucy shared disturbed looks on their faces.

"We'll do that tomorrow, right now I'm sleeping." The ice mage said.

"I agree, let's sleep now and we will investigate tomorrow, right Happy." Natsu said and he plopped down on one of the mats.

"Aye!" Happy said and he plopped down next to Natsu.

"Well, I guess some sleep wouldn't be such a bad idea." Aang said and he soon after Lucy fell asleep as well as, the group was going attempt to find out the roots of the island curse and on how to fix it.

Aang woke up and he saw that he was now in a grassy field and he looked around and the area looked familiar and he knew that this landscape was familiar with what is seen from the Earth Kingdom.

"Hold on? I've made it back?" Aang said to himself and he got up and he looked around and he saw Toph putting down her Earth tent and she looked angry.

"Toph! I can't believe it's you!" He yelled and he saw that she didn't hear him.

"Wait, Toph can't you hear me!?" he exclaimed.

"Can't believe this happened! Where did you disappear to Twinkle Toes?" Toph said to herself in a soft voice.

"What do you mean? I'm right here?" Aang said and he looked to his left and she saw Suki was wrapping Sokka's wounds in bandages.

"She's still taking it hard..." Suki said.

"Yeah, but we just have to get her and Katara to accept it, Aang is gone and he's never coming back." Sokka said in a serious voice. "Even Appa knows that." He said and Appa had a very sad look on his face and next to him Momo didn't look as cheery and full of energy.

"But guys I wasn't killed! I was dragged to another world, I'm fine!" Aang said to himself. "Hold on? Where is Zuko?"

Katara walked out of her tent with the same glum look on her face that had befallen everyone else. "Katara? How is Iroh doing?" Suki asked.

"Oh... he's still worried about Zuko... but I can't believe he left himself get captured just so I could get away, and after taking a lightning bolt to the heart like that... I really hope he's okay."

"Well from what we knew about him, I doubt it." Toph said walking to them.

"Well we just have to get on with life." Sokka said.

"What are you talking about?" Toph asked

"Isn't obvious? The Fire Lord announced that he had killed Aang, without him I'm not sure how much of a chance we have left." Sokka truthfully said.

"What are you talking about Snoozles..." Toph said looking down at the ground and her eyes couldn't be seen. "Twinkle Toes is alive!" She said and she tried to hold back the tears. "Even though he was a bit of a coward, he wouldn't leave us like this!" she yelled and tears were now falling down her face.

"Toph..." Suki began but Toph stood on the ground with one foot and raised a barrier between her and the Kyoshi warrior.

"Don't try to tell me otherwise, he's alive out there, I know he is." Toph said.

"I know this is not ideal but this is one of the few places not burned or taken over by the Fire Nation, I think we have to head back to the Southern Water Tribe." Sokka said.

"Hold on! Why!? We can't just let the Fire Nation..."

"We'll get killed if we stay here!" Sokka yelled as he interrupted the blind Earthbender. "If we don't leave now we'll be captured for sure. And that is the last thing we need to happen right now!" Sokka yelled.

"I'm not leaving!"

"Just accept it Toph! Aang is gone and he is never coming back!" he screamed. "Hoping that he will come back isn't a viable solution, we need to leave now."

"And if he really is gone, the next Avatar will be a Waterbender, so we need to make sure that he or she is protected before my brother attempts to attack the Water Tribes." Iroh said.

"I agree, that means we have to head back now." Sokka said.

"The White Lotus members and I will head to the Northern Water Tribe, while you head to the South."

"Right."

They began packing for their excursion and Aang just stood there watching them and he tried numerous times to call out to them but his calls fell on deaf ears as he couldn't be heard by his friends.

"Now is not the time Aang." He heard from a female voice and suddenly the entire area became covered in darkness.

"What do you mean now is not the time?! Who is that?" he asked.

"You will soon find out, all hope isn't lost Aang, even in the darkest cloud there is always a silver lining." The female voice said and he saw a glimpse of a grave with a yellow flame on it and it zoomed out and he saw a huge tree on an island.

Suddenly Aang's eyes shot open and he rose and looked around and he heard Natsu's snoring and was surprised he could sleep like that. He looked out of the window and saw that dawn was slowly approaching.

"*What was all of that! Was that a real dream. I sure hope it was. If things have gotten that bad, then I don't know how I can fix this.*" He thought to himself.

Later on everyone was awake and they were about to leave to set off to find the source of the curse.

"So, is everyone ready?" Aang asked

"I could use some more sleep. I hate waking up this early." Natsu said.

"You kept me up all night with you snoring so you can't complain!" Lucy exclaimed.

"Well at least it's not like the one time where my friends and I were hunted and we barely got any sleep at all for almost the entire day." Aang said as he put on the black jacket that was the only thing covering his upper body.

"Well are we leaving?" Gray asked

"Almost, just one thing." Lucy said and she took out a silver key. "**Open, Gate of the Clock Constellation: Horologium!**" Lucy yelled as she swung the silver key and the sound of a doorbell was heard and a whitish blue magic seal appeared and what looked like a grandfather clock fell from above and he popped out black arms and legs, he popped out his head which was the clock itself.

"The time is, seven forty-eight." The spirit said.

Aang was pleasantly surprised. One he had never seen a clock like that, and two he had definitely never seen a spirit like that. "So that's how you summon spirits?" Aang said. "Nothing like the Spirit World I can tell you that. So what can he do?"

Later on they were walking down the path and Lucy was inside the clock and it was walking with them.

"So she travels inside it?" Aang said to himself.

"Yep, it's because she is lazy." Happy simply said.

"But why though I mean, the only people that are here are the villagers, I think."

"Yes, but this curse is freaking me out! She says." Horologium said.

Aang sweat dropped. "Great even the clock talks for you."

"Anyway we come up with another way, destroying the moon just seems too impossible." Grey stated.

"What! I told you Happy and I would destroy it, right Happy?" Natsu said.

"I told you. That is not going to happen... the cat says." Horologium said.

"So what usually happens on these S-Class requests anyway?" Aang asked before he realized. "Oh wait you stole the request." He remembered.

Suddenly they heard large footsteps coming towards them from behind and way above the trees they saw a huge figure and they saw its eyes were glaring at them and they heard a very loud hiss.

"Woah! Now that is huge!" Aang commented and as it got closer they realized it was a rat coming towards them, however it still maintained its huge size.

"It's a giant rat! She says." Horologium said.

The humongous creature was a rat but had light green fur and it looked like it was wearing a maid's outfit.

"Yeah, there is something you really don't see every day." Aang said to himself as the rat took a huge breath and it blew a huge and Gray stood in front of everyone.

He put his right fist to his hand and cold winds came from the space in between and a light blue seal appeared in front of him. "**Ice Make: Shield!**" and he pressed his palms on the ground and then a fan shaped barrier was made in between them and the rat belched a very foul gas and everyone covered their noses. Natsu was on the ground and he was covering his nose

A typical alarm clock ring was heard and Horologium disappeared in a puff of white smoke and he was gone leaving Lucy and Happy out in the open.

Aang made a small vortex that was carrying the smell away and he threw it back at the rat, however he wasn't surprised to see that it wasn't affected. "This thing is almost as big as a lion turtle, how can we beat it?"

Natsu quickly got up after covering his nose from the stench. "Aang how high can you jump?"

"Very high, but why?"

"I have an idea!" Natsu said and jumped on Aang's back and this surprised the airbender. "Now jump!"

Aang struggled to his feet but he jumped high up and made a cyclone that raised him even higher. Natsu jumped off Aang shoulders and he was now high above the rat. He held his hands in front of his mouth leaving a opening for him to blow between his fists. "**Fire Dragon Roar!**" He blew a huge stream of fire from his mouth as an orange seal was in between his mouth and hands the flames hit the rat in the face but it didn't look affected and Natsu realized how high he was and he began falling to the ground but Aang made a cushion of air that softened his fall.

"This thing is tough, I'll finish it! **Ice Make: Lance!**" and he made a light blue seal appear in front of him and he made lances of ice that flew towards the rat's face and it made impact but it looked even more agitated and he swung his arm towards Gray but Aang made a thick wall of Earth come out of the ground blocking the hit and Aang looked at the rat. He looked behind him and he saw Natsu's fists on fire and Grey being surrounded by a cold mist.

"EVERYONE STOP!" Aang yelled out. "I have an idea." He said and he began walking up to the rat and as the rat tried to crush him he avoided the attack and he was now at the rat's side and he began rubbing it's fur underneath and it's eyes widen and he turns over to the side and Aang begins rubbing its huge belly and he was running back and forth very fast so the rat could be comforted, eventually it started moving its right hind leg like a dog as it was enjoying the attention Aang was giving it.

"What did you do?" Lucy asked in awe.

"I'm kinda good with animals." Aang said as the giant mouse became docile and began to sleep but it was awakened when both Natsu and Gray knocked it unconscious and they began kicking and punching it as it was on the floor.

"What are you doing!?" Aang yelled and his eyes were bulging out of his head and he made an earth barrier that kept both Natsu and Gray away from the mouse. "It's not a threat so why is that necessary?"

Gray looked at Aang. "You're too soft you know that."

"Whatever, you say what you want?"

They all continued walking and Lucy and Happy were ahead and they spotted what looked like an ancient temple in the walls.

"There are moon symbols on these walls, reminds me a lot of the Northern Water Tribe."

"Were they all Waterbenders?" Gray asked

"Not all of them, but yeah. You would assume that most waterbenders come from the North and South poles of my world, maybe we can find something in here that will tell us about the curse."

Natsu stepped on a particular spot on the floor. "Hey, I don't think this floor is sturdy enough to hold us." He said.

"Then don't step on it so hard!" Lucy yelled as the Dragon Slayer was stepping on the ground continuously and suddenly cracks began to form and they could all see it and the ground collapsed and everyone fell through and Natsu and Gray hit the ground on the bottom while Happy floated down and Lucy hung on to Aang as he was blasting gales from his hands to slow his fall.

"Not one for listening, are ya?" Aang rhetorically asked referring to Natsu.

"Natsu, you idiot!" Gray said as he got up from the rocks.

Aang made a flame in his one hand and he saw that there was a path they could take that would lead them deeper into the cave. "Well we have two options, I find a way back up or keep moving forward, I can get up there no problem but I'm not going to be able to carry you guys on my back one at a time, already knowing how heavy Natsu is, I'm not willing to go through that again.

"Especially since Lucy is heavy." Happy said with a smile on his face.

"KNOCK IT OFF!" Lucy yelled to the winged feline.

"Can't you take us back up one at a time, Happy?" Grey asked

"No, that would be way too many trips for me." Happy said.

"Yeah! So let's keep going!" Natsu yelled and he began running down the cave. "This is awesome!"

"Hey, would you stop running around like that!?" Gray yelled.

"Well I guess we better go after him." Aang said as he sighed. So the rest of the gang ran after Natsu and they saw that he stopped and he was looking up at something.

"There you... are..." Lucy said as now they were both looking at something that was huge, Gray, Happy and Aang joined them and the big structure was a huge demon shaped creature accept it was imprisoned in a huge mound of ice that took a very complicated shape, the monster looked utterly menacing to the group, but one member of the group found it extremely traumatizing even though it was in a state of suspended animation.

Gray began to step forward "T-that's impossible." He said to himself as he walked to the ice prison

"Gray what's wrong?" Aang asked trying to comfort him.

"It's Deliora."

"Deliora?" Happy repeated.

"How? How could this happen?" Gray began to say loudly.

"How is it here!? What the hell is it doing on Galuna Island!?" He yelled.

"You've seen this thing before?" Natsu asked

"T-There is no way..." Gray said as he looked like he was slightly panicking, but he suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Grey, try to calm down." Lucy said as she was trying to calm the Ice wizard.

"Grey; I know this will be hard for you, but can you tell us more about this Deliora?" Aang requested.

"This is Deliora, the Demon of Destruction." Grey said. "But why is it here? It doesn't make any sense?"

"I don't think anyone knows, and I for one don't want to stick around to find out." Aang said. "Hold on, this may have something to do with that curse?"

"You really think so?" Lucy asked

"Clearly from Gray's reaction, this Deliora is not supposed to even be here, so this may be a stretch but someone may have brought him here." Aang deduced. Suddenly they heard footsteps coming towards them. "There are others here?" He whispered to himself and he saw the others heading to a hiding spot behind some boulders, Aang made more huge rocks slid in front of them using his Earthbending to ensure they wouldn't be found.

After they hid two figures entered the cavern. One of them was a young man with blue hair and he was quite short, he wore a green coat that stretched to his knees, one feature that stood out was his thick eyebrows, the other figure was even weirder and he had a dog like face and he only wore a pair of blue jeans and he also had dog ears which completed the canine look.

The blue haired figure began to speak. "The voices seem to be coming from down here, I hate being awake during the day." He sighed. "So, Toby you were exposed to the Moon Drip? I mean, you have those pointy ears."

"I told you, they're a fashion statement you jerk!" The dog faced human yelled

"I was just teasing you." He said while chuckling.

"You don't have to be so mean about it."

"Moon Drip? Could be that the name of the curse?" Lucy whispered.

"Hold on, they might tell us more if we listen." Aang said

"Yuka, Toby." A feminine voice called out and a young woman joined the two in the cavern and she had violet hair and wore a pink and black dress, she had long black boots and a scarf that gave the appearance of feathers. "Something terrible has happened."

"What is it, Sherry?" Yuka asked

"It's Angelica, she has been attacked, and I'm so sad." She sadly said.

"It's name is Angelica?" Natsu whispered and he saw Aang glaring at him and Grey. "What?"

"We would be fine if you two didn't decide to attack Angelica after I calmed her." Aang scolded.

"I didn't know it was on a first name basis now." Happy muttered

"You're sad because someone beat up your stupid pet rat?" Toby said

"Angelica is not a rat." She said defensively. "She is a brave hunter, prowling the jungle to protect us. She is... love." And a pink heart was suddenly seen above her and Aang, Lucy and Happy sweat dropped.

"Wow, she's crazier than Sokka on Cactus Juice." Aang muttered.

"Aye." Happy agreed, even if he didn't know who Sokka is or what Cactus Juice was.

"Intruders you say." Yuka said bringing back the attention of the others.

"And it's almost time to begin collecting moonlight again." Sherry sadly said. "Oh this makes me so sad. This news will displease the Cold Emperor, we should get rid of them before he finds, yes we must find them before the moon's first light."

"Agreed." Yuka said with a satisfying grin.

"If they were here, then they've seen Deliora, and that only means we can't allow them to live. We shall give them the gift of eternal rest; we'll give them... love." She said and this earned a puzzled face from Toby.

"Um, you're talking about death right...?"

Happy tugged on Aang's leg and he had a rock in his paw and he threw it and it made a noise and the three looked behind them. Thinking it might have something to do with the intruders they decided to look for the source of the noise and they left the cavern.

"That was a close one." Aang said as he sighed.

"I wonder who this 'Cold Emperor' is?" He asked.

Meanwhile Gray had his eyes fixed on the ice prison that froze the beast known as Deliora.

"Gray, what do you know about this thing?" Lucy asked.

Gray began to explain. "It was sealed away inside a huge glacier. In the Northern Continent, a decade ago an immortal demon ravaged my hometown. My master, Ur, the woman who taught me my magic sacrificed everything to seal it. I don't know if this has anything to do with the curse, but that demon doesn't belong here. We have to find out who this cold 'Cold Emperor' is." Gray began clenching his fists. "If he had tarnished Ur's legacy, he's going to regret the day he was born!" He exclaimed.

"Why don't we just take out the demon now?" Natsu asked as his fist was on fire. "A little fire will do the trick." He said and he approached the ice prison but Gray surprisingly punched Natsu in the gut and it sent he sliding back.

The entire group was shocked as to why Gray would attack Natsu like that.

"Hey! What's the big idea, Gray!?" Natsu angrily asked.

"I don't want you or your flames anywhere near it!" He said with venom in his voice. "If the ice melts and Deliora gets free, nothing will be able to stop it."

"Seriously! Think before you do stuff Natsu!" Aang exclaimed. "So, how did Ur manage to freeze this thing?" Aang asked

"My master used a spell called Iced Shell to trap Deliora; it made a type of ice that can never be melted. It's so strong that not even the most powerful Fire magic can work." Grey explained.

"But if the ice can't be melted, why bring it here?"

"Maybe is has something to do with that Moon Drip they were talking about." Lucy said.

"You might be right, so if they are going to wait for the moon to come out, then we'll do the same." Gray said.

Natsu groaned. "It's the middle of the afternoon, I'll die of boredom!" However later Natsu was now asleep on his back.

"Well that was fast." Lucy commented.

"I'll say." Aang added.

"Aye." Happy said.

So the group decided to stay and wait for the moon to rise to see how it would affect the Demon of Destruction who was trapped in a huge ice prison.
