Gray slammed his fist into Deliora, a sheer coat of ice covering his knuckles. Deliora was pushed back, his eyes widening. Dark markings started to grow along Gray's arms as he continued his ice magic.

"How can this be? He's a devil slayer?!" Deliora panicked.

Lucy ran up to Juvia and placed her hand on Juvia's chest, looking for a heart beat.

"I feel it, it's faint but..." Lucy trailed off.

She looked up to hear Gray scream with rage against the demon.

"You're insane!" Deliora shouted in pain.

"Ice Bazooka!" Gray said as a giant block of ice flew into Deliora.

He winced in pain as Gray kept going.

"Ice make hammer!"

"Ice make snow dragon!"

Deliora felt his lungs crushing. The powerful attacks just kept coming.

"This power, it's-" Deliora hacked up blood.

"Ice make geyser!"

Natsu and Lucy couldn't help but gaze in awe as Gray wouldn't stop.

"Ice make sword!"

A sword of ice appeared in his hand as he rounded up all of his strength and sliced open Deliora.

"No this can't be!"

A dark ominous energy started to seep out of Deliora and enter the sky. His soul was being drained.

"No I can't lose! Not again! How can this be?!" Deliora yelled.

"Go to hell you son of as bitch!" Gray screamed.

"Ice Devil's Rage!"

Gray started to pant as Deliora was screeching in torture. 

"Curse you Gray, I forever curse you!" Deliora said in rage.

His figure grew smaller as it finally disappeared and his negative energy was released into the air.

"Finally...it's over."

Gray cracked his neck as he stumbled towards Juvia.

"We have to get her back to the guild now..." Gray mumbled.

"How are we going to get back home quick enough?" Lucy asked.

Gray was losing focus in his eyes and shook lightly.

"Happy...do you think you can get Juvia and Gray back? Lucy and I are going back on foot," Natsu asked if him.

Happy looked at both Gray and Juvia and felt his eyes water,
"I- I'm gonna try!!"

"We're really counting on you Happy!" Natsu encouraged.

Happy nodded and he grabbed Gray's shoulders.

"Gray grab Juvia, I'll get you guys back. I promise!" Happy cried.

Gray used his remaining strength to pick Juvia up.

"Please Happy. Hurry!" Lucy said.

"Aye!!" Happy yelped.

He super sped in the sky and aimed towards the guild.

"Natsu."

"Yea?"

"You're crazy if you think we are going all the back to the guild on foot," Lucy twitched.

"But-" Natsu hesitated.

"We're taking a carriage."

"Dammit all!" Natsu cursed.

Happy kept flying with all of his might as he felt his body burning up.

"You can do it it Happy!" Gray yelled through the air.

Happy kept looking forward as he was already seeing Magnolia. His wings were starting to fade as he charged with all of his might. Master Makarov walked outside with Mira and Lisanna as they saw Happy about to fall out of the sky.

"I got it!" Lisanna spoke.

She transformed into a giant bird and flew up to catch Juvia and Gray. Happy gave out and started falling. Mira ran and grabbed Happy in her arms.

She felt his head,
"You poor thing. We're so proud of you."

Happy grinned before fainting,
''Aye..."

"Let's get them in the medic room immediately!" Makarov commanded.

Lisanna let Gray and Juvia down lightly. Gray huffed and stood up, still holding Juvia.

"Gray I can carry her-" Lisanna stopped.

She looked at Gray as he shuffled toward the guild hall doors,
"I'm carrying her myself."

Lisanna sighed as she walked along side him towards the medical room.

"I'm not letting her go..." Gray mumbled.

Lisanna slightly smiled as Gray walked into the medical room and laid Juvia down on the bed. He grunted and sat up against the wall.

"Gray what happened?" Mirajane asked him.

There was no response.

"Gray?"

She turned around as Gray fell to his knees, his marks slowly fading away. 

"Gray?!"

Gray's eyes slowly closed as he face planted into the floor, finally losing consciousness.

Mira sighed as she tended to Juvia's wounds first.

"These wounds. They're so critical..."

Makarov walked in,
"Are they okay?"

"Master, I need Porlyusica. Juvia's wounds are just..." Mirajane felt herself starting to panic.

"I'll get her here immediately!" Makarov said.

"Juvia please hang on..." Mira whispered.

"For Gray's sake."
