Galuna Island's cult perform a ceremonial spell called Moon Drip in order to melt the permanent ice freezing Deliora, which the Fairy Tail wizards surmise to be the cause of the island's curse. Gray recognizes the cult's leader "Reitei" as Lyon Vastia, another one of Ur's former students, who resents Gray for Ur's death. After Lyon freezes most of Natsu's body in unmeltable ice, Gray kicks Natsu down a hill to protect him and prepares to fight Lyon. Meanwhile, Erza commandeers a pirate ship to take her to Galuna Island, intent on returning her guildmates to Fairy Tail for punishment.
