When they take different paths, they wipe down each other's bodies, but they're still fighting. It's nice if they don't have to fight, they say. They're reviving the fairy tail, and they still have their memories of the past, which is why they came to this place. They say that since they have the memories of each other, they can just leave the gray one behind and go down their own path. When they get to their bellies, they realize that they've just come to find out who these people are. They realize that the chains are magic-suppressing metal, and that their foreheads are green with a curse. They think that the curse is coming from Gajeel, who's trying to escape from the cult. They wonder where this strength comes from, and then they realize it's coming from the dark side of their souls. They decide that they need to stop the operation purify, which will kill a lot of innocent people.
