A/N: This is my first time writing a fic so please go easy on me. However, I would love to hear from you! It would really mean a lot if you R&R :) You would notice there are sentences in italics, it means that they are THOUGHTS and not dialogues. I ship a lot of pairings: JeRza, NaLu, GrUvia, MirAxus, ElfGreen, RomeoxWendy, CanaxFried, CobraxKinana... and a lot more! Please support me! Arigatou Gozaimasu, minna!

Disclaimer: I do NOT (no matter I want it to be) own Fairy Tail. It belongs to the brilliant mind of Hiro Mashima.

Erza… Erza is in trouble… Because of him. When will he ever stop bringing suffering to her? That was all Jellal could think of when Doranbolt broke the news about Fairy Tail.

Doranbolt tracked down Jellal in the hopes that the latter would stick to his end of the deal and turn Oracion Seis into allies. He knew Jellal could make it happen, he has proved, time and time again, that the fugitive in front of him is really a changed man or as Ultear claimed, back to his old self. As Doranbolt relayed the news to the new Crime Sorciere, he can see Jellal's soul die through his emerald eyes despite the lack of facial expression. It was just like 7 years ago when Tenrou Island disappeared, taking Fairy Tail's top members along with it. Is this history's cruel way of repeating itself? Only this time, the guildhall was left devastated but at least it's still there while not a single member could be found. No bodies, and not even a single drop of blood, therefore there is reason to believe that Fairy Tail is alive somewhere, somehow. He knew Tartarus, the last corner of the Balam Alliance, is involved and as he revealed of a possible mass kidnapping to the fugitives, all eight people fell into silence, still processing everything he just narrated. They are not sure if Tartarus was indeed involved but it sure is possible. To think Tartarus managed to kidnap a whole guild full of the best mages in Fiore, just how powerful Tartarus really is? They can't just blindly storm their headquarters and do whatever since they do not even know where it is in the first place. That dark guild's silence throughout the years provided them with no information. Not even the rest of the Balam Alliance were given enough information.

"Cubellios," it was Cobra who broke the silence.

Everybody looked at him as he closed his eyes and did what he knows best: whispering to his dear friend.

Kinana, he thought, where are you? Silence. Kinana! Kinana! Kinana! Kinana! If his inner voice were actually a voice, it would be hoarse by now because of the desperate calls going on in his mind. Kinana! Answer me! Damn it! Just when he was about to give up this seemingly futile pursuit, he heard her: Eric! Eric! Help us! It's a mess, and people are fighting everywhere! The demons are overpowering us! Cobra felt a sense of relief and fear at the same time. At least now he knows Fairy Tail, especially his dear Cubellios, is alive but of course, they are still in danger. She mentioned demons.

"Tartarus." he confirmed to the group.

Being a part of the Balam Alliance can finally work to their advantage even though they don't know much. What little information they have is still better than having nothing at all. Without second thoughts, all eight people left with great haste, leaving Doranbolt alone to make sure that the magical world would not crumble the way the council did. Brain, Angel, Racer, Midnight and Hoteye may not be as bent in saving Fairy Tail as the other three but they knew Jellal was right. They suffered much because of Zeref and they will not allow the same fate befall the others.

Erza… wait for me. Jellal could not shake the bad feeling that chose to occupy the bottom of his stomach. He remembered the time when Doranbolt broke the news about Tenrou Island, he felt lost and hopeless. This feeling is similar but as each step takes him closer to Tartarus' headquarters, he also feels his resolve strengthen. No, this was not like 7 years ago. This time, he can do something. This time, he will definitely save Erza. He knew he had to trust Cobra, as the man is as desperate as he is. Using Cobra's keen sense, they were able to pinpoint the headquarters' exact location. Not too long after, they can see the massive block hovering in the distance. With a spike in adrenaline and a boost in magic, they ran twice as fast to their destination.

"Tell me where Jellal is!" Kyouka demanded with a flick of her talon across the redhead's left side.

"No!" Erza screamed in pure agony as she saw her own blood leaving her already battered body yet again. She herself was surprised with how much blood she has or is it just her mind playing tricks on her eyes. She's lost track of how long she was kept at that place, after all. Even if I knew where he is, like hell would I tell you. Erza's body may be nearing its breaking point, but her spirit remained intact. Jellal… please… Be safe.

"No matter. I will find him, with or without you. You were never meant to be here in the first place. It was that blasted useless, old man who brought you here. I just wanted to have some fun while you were here." Kyouka stated followed by a shrill laugh.

As soon as Crime Sorciere reached the surface, the octet started assisting Fairy Tail in battling the demons. Cobra came just in time to block a surprise attack from a demon that would no doubt be fatal to Kinana. Jellal whipped his head when he heard his precious Scarlet's plea as he sent heavenly beams to a group of demons surrounding Cana. From where he is standing, he can see Cobra and Kinana's bittersweet reunion as he began searching for a certain redhead but luck doesn't seem to be on his side. Just then, a massive explosion caused a big hole to appear with a familiar pink haired male being thrown out. Using Meteor, Jellal was able to grab Natsu and settle both of them to the other side of the hole.

"Where's Erza?" Jellal asked, not wanting to waste any more precious time.

"I don't know but I know she's inside. Try the east wing that's where I sensed her when I came in." Natsu admitted looking away. He could not bear to look at the hopeful man in front of him when he, himself, failed in his own rescue mission. "Hurry!" He added.

"Thanks Natsu. At least now I know she really is here." Jellal replied and with the blink of an eye, Natsu was left alone with his mouth agape. This seemed to bring a new bout of hope to Natsu and at that instance, he noticed very familiar faces fighting with all their might everywhere. His family is here.

With a smirk, he yelled, "All right! I'm all fired up!"
