Here's the newest chapter for everyone to read, I managed to actually release one within the weekend this time! I have to admit that I was surprised at how much you all liked chapter 10 as I was sure it wouldn't sit well with everyone. Well, I see I was wrong about that! I'm glad that chapter 10 met you all's expectation! :D

Void (Natsu)

Drifting… slowly but steadily he was drifting along what felt like a gentle river, which strangely didn't make him feel sick. He couldn't remember how he had gotten there as his thoughts were still trying to recollect themselves. There was absolutely no sound there at all; this only raised his level of confusion higher. Slowly, he opened his eyes and looked around, it was all white.

'What is this…' The pink haired man wondered to himself as he tried to remember what happened. He stared up into the vast nothingness above, nothing made any sense. The dragon slayer wasn't sure how long he had been there, but decided to try to stand up and walk around. Every step he took sounded as if he was walking on top of water, it was weird to him. He stopped after taking a few more steps and looked at his hand, he began to concentrate. His hands became a blaze as fire engulfed it as it usually would.

'So I can still use my magic power…' He didn't know why but, somehow this put him at ease. The fire mage cringed suddenly as his head began to throb painfully. 'GAH! What the hell!?' He was starting to remember bits and pieces of the last event leading up to this. Fragmented memories of rescuing a nude Mirajane came into mind, followed by sitting under a tree holding hands with the takeover mage. It was all there, but he just couldn't fill in the missing pieces.

'What happened…? Why was Mirajane naked, and why were we holding hands under a tree?' The troubled dragon slayer began to hear the sound of soft footsteps behind him and the sound of a woman giggling, he turned around as his eyes widened from shock. Standing not too far away from him was Mirajane. She was wearing her usual outfit as she stood there smiling and giggling at the fire mage; he started walking closer to her. Just as he was almost to her, she turned and started running away from him while now laughing playfully.

"Mira, wait! Where are you going!? Mira!" He was now running after her at full speed and yet, she only seemed to get farther and farther away. 'What the hell is going on!? Why can't I catch up to her!?' After running a little bit farther, she stopped as a black door appeared in front of her. Grabbing the handle, she looked back at Natsu with a smile before opening it and running through it. While running, Natsu began to slowly fall through what was believed to be a floor or ground.

'Shit, I'm falling through the ground!?' He tried to fight his way out of the engulfing floor but was unsuccessful in his efforts as he was swallowed completely.

Void (Mirajane)

Falling… It never seemed to end for her. From the very moment she opened her eyes, she had been falling into nothingness. It was pitch black and there was no sound. She closed her eyes as she began to think about how she had gotten there. She remembered everything leading up to this very moment, which only saddened her.

'…Does this mean I'm going to hell…Is that why I've only been falling in darkness for so long? I wonder where Natsu is…Will I ever see him again…probably not…' She could still feel her magic energy within herself but, what would be the point of using it she wondered. The whole ordeal was confusing to her. She continued to fall until she was stopped by landing on a solid floor like surface with what sounded like a small splash in a stream. The landing strangely didn't hurt her at all; to her it was as if she just, stopped falling. She stood up and began to walk around in the darkness, almost as if she was searching for something. After walking for a while she stopped and placed her face into both of her hands as she began to cry silently.

'…What did I do to deserve this?' just as she said this, a trail of fire slowly became visible in front of her. She moved her hands away from her eyes as she watched it go farther away from her. Standing even further away from her at the other end of the trail of flames was Natsu, his fists were blazing and he was smiling at her. She couldn't believe what she was seeing.

"Natsu!?" He began to start running away and the trail began to start fading. Wasting no time at all, Mirajane followed behind him quickly. As she ran he only managed to get away from her even faster, she began to panic at the thought of losing him.

"Natsu please, slow down! Wait for me!" He continued to run from her for just awhile longer until a white door appeared in front of him. Grabbing the knob, he opened it and walked through without looking back. Mirajane ran even faster at this point as she reached the door and ran through. On the other side of it was a cliff overlooking a deep blue ocean that stretched for miles and miles, long and wide. There was a gentle constant wind; it was filled with the salty smell of the ocean. Mirajane walked up to the very peak of the cliff and sat down onto the green grass while letting her feet hang off the edge, she was sad once again.

'I lost him…' The takeover mage laid back and looked up to the bright blue sky above her as she thought about just how close she was to catching the fire mage.

'Where are you...Natsu…' The gentle sound of the ocean water combined with the wind managed to lull her to sleep.

Void

Natsu had been walking through a forest for quiet sometime now. He wasn't sure on how he had gotten there; all he remembered was falling through a floor while chasing after Mirajane. The forest was becoming steeper and steeper until it was at the point where he felt as though he was climbing a hill, he was right. Looking farther ahead, he could see the bright shine of day light and he could pick up the scent of sea salt. Picking up his pace, he marched on until he got to the end and came out onto the beginning of a cliff. As he pressed onward he saw a person lying down at the end of it, it was a woman.

'Who is that?' The woman's scent began to enter his nose; his adrenaline began to flow incredibly strong. He broke out into a full sprint up the cliff.

'Could it be!?' This wasn't like before, this woman had an actual scent to her. Now at the top of the cliff he looked at the woman, she was sleeping.

"Mira?" He called her name, effectively waking her. She gasped.

"Natsu? Is it really you this time?" Standing up, the bar mage ran to hug the fire mage. The two embraced each other as tight as they could, it was long awaited. Natsu breathed in her scent strongly and sighed while smiling.

"It's really me Mira." He heard her start to sniffle as he rubbed the back of her head soothingly.

"Natsu…Are we-" Knowing what she was going to ask, he cut her off.

"Dead? I don't know. I really can't remember everything that happened or why were even here. All I remember was saving you and holding hands with you under a tree in the rain." They let go of each other as Mirajane looked at him for a bit then kissed him on the lips. The kiss didn't last too long as she did it more or less to get a specific reaction from him, she got what she was looking for. Natsu's head began to hurt again just like before, though this time was different. The missing pieces to his memory were coming back to him now vividly clear, he remembered everything.

"I remember now, we were dying because of us being poisoned by Tanaka and her brother Tsushimi. In that case…I guess we are dead." The wind seemed to have blown stronger after he said this.

"You are not dead, for I have saved your lives." Natsu and Mirajane instantly looked around, searching for the location of the voice. Coming from the wood was an extremely pale woman with beautifully long ivory green hair wearing a white kimono.

"Who are you?" Natsu asked the woman while pulling Mirajane close to him, the mysterious woman smiled.

"I am the tree the two of you sat under as you spent your final moment together. After witnessing the display of love and affection shown by you two, I couldn't let it end there. Your love is pure; I've seen something like that only one other time, but that was long ago. I absorbed you into me so that I could cleanse you of the poison within your bodies. To be honest, it was almost too late for you two. You were only a heartbeat away from death." Hearing this made the two mages mouth's become agape. The woman moved up to them and placed a hand onto both of their heads and closed her eyes.

"Now I will show you…" She began as her facial expression hardened. "A glimpse into your future!" Both mages closed their eyes as they felt themselves being pulled into another dimension.

The Future (Vision)

There was a rush of light as all kinds of different images flew by the two mages who stood still watching it all. The woman from before began to talk once again.

"Here, you will see just what's in store for you in the future." A random slide stopped as it showed a newborn baby being held by its mother, they could only see her arms with the child within them. The vision repositioned its self to show some of the other faces in the room. There was Erza, Master Makarov, Lisanna, Elfman, Wendy, Lucy, Grey, and many other members from within the guild. Some of them had somber smiles while others were crying silently as they looked at the mother and her child. This confused the two mages as Mirajane asked a question.

"Why does everyone look so sad and crying? Shouldn't they be happy?" The woman only shook her head.

"The mother of that child has suffered a great lost." This was all she said as she moved onto another random slide. This showed an over view of everyone in the guild hall all sitting quiet as some of them cried, it was as if they were mourning the loss of some one. Natsu could see his team sitting at their usual table, but things were different. Erza had her head down in her arms on the table with a full slice of untouched strawberry cheesecake in front of her. Grey had a hurt angry expression all over his face as he just stared hard at the table. Lucy rested her head in her hands as she cried silently.

The entity knew that the questions were coming real soon which is why she moved on to the last randomly picked slide. There was a woman standing in front of a grave with a black umbrella as heavy rain fell from the sky above. She stood there motionless as she only watched the grave in silence. The vision didn't last long as it had already ended. The two mages just stood silently as they tried to figure out what it was that they just saw. The entity spoke to them again.

"It's quite a lot of left out information dealing with these events I know, but it's for the protection of the future. I'm sorry that I can't show you anymore than I already have." Natsu asked a question as he tried to understand it all.

"So, what do we do with all of this? What was the reason behind showing us this?" The woman in question closed her eyes and reopened them as she looked him in his.

"Preparation." That was all she said in response to his question. Her eyes widened slightly as if she was just notified of something important. "It's time for you to return to your dimension, your bodies are done healing. Is there a specific place you would like to return to?"The dragon slayer spoke up once again.

"Cedar Town, but how are you going to get us there?" Giving Natsu a knowing smirk, the woman casted her magic onto them.

"Portal magic. By bending the dimension time and space exactly the way I want, I can open a small rip in space big enough for you two to pass through safely." Seeing the confusion on the dragon slayer's face she sighed and looked to Mirajane who had been listening the whole time and staying quite.

"You understand, right?" The takeover mage nodded her head in response as the portal or rip opened, revealing Cedar Town on the other side.

"So we can just walk through there and were back in Cedar Town? Ok Natsu, are you ready?" He reached his hand out to grab hold of hers.

"Yeah, I'm ready to head back now." The entity smiled as she watched the couple leave the realm and enter Cedar Town.

Oshibana Town (Forest)

Erza spent several hours walking through a forest while being led by Jellal. They were headed to where the secrete organization usually meet up, outside of their underground base. The scarlet haired woman was beginning to get annoyed.

"Just how far is this spot?" The blue haired man leading the two rubbed his forehead.

"Not much farther now, was getting real close." They continued to march on until they entered a clearing. It was even ground and it had short green grass. The area itself had a large radius to it, almost forming a perfect circle. Jellal faced Erza as he started talking.

"I followed them out here more than once, but every time I did the weather conditions made it hard for me to understand what was being said. The wind would begin to blow strongly every time they started the meeting. I can say though, from what I have seen, they use this area for combat practice. They're skills in hand to hand combat is flawed considerably, but their skills in magic almost makes up for it." Erza thought over what she was just told. 'If what he says is true…then that liquid…' She looked Jellal in the eyes seriously.

"I may have just figured out what that liquid formula does, if I'm correct then I need to come up with a plan for what I'm going to do." Jellal's left eyebrow rose up slightly as he was curious about what she wanted to do.

"And what might you have planned exactly?" Erza withdrew a sword from its sheath as she marked a tree near her, and then sheathed it.

"I will return his tomorrow and do either one or two things. I'll defeat them there and then or ill take vial from them and bring it back to Fairy Tail to be analyzed. I think fighting them would cause an issue with the magic council, seeing as how they technically haven't done anything wrong yet. Stealing the vile would help us understand what were really dealing with." Jellal folded his arms before challenging her plan.

"And how are we going to get that close to them anyway?" Erza raised an eyebrow.

"Who said I was including you in my plan anyway? If anything I should report you for escaping custody." The blue haired man laughed out loud at this.

"That's funny. You threaten to have me institutionalized, yet you need me here. What are you going to do if your cover is blown?" The red haired woman frowned angrily at his words and retorted.

"Excuse me? What do you mean 'what are you going to do if your cover is blown?' I'm Erza Scarlet; I'll do as I must!" Jellal held made a calm serious face.

"So you're going to fight them then? After you just said that it would be a bad idea to fight them as they haven't done anything wrong technically. It might cause your guild a lot of problem if it looks like you're attacking people off of an assumption." The scarlet mage frowned as she knew this was true. Staying quiet for another moment, she spoke.

"Fine that maybe true but explain to me how having you along would help. Plus, what's the real reason behind you being here in the first place, what does this have to do with you?" The man in question placed a hand on his forehead as he rubbed it.

"If you get caught and NEED to fight to escape, I can do that for you instead because it fits my background. They would look at it as me just causing more trouble. Why am I here you ask? I made it my goal to liberate this land of all dark guilds. There's nothing I can do that'll erase the horrible things I've done in the past Erza, nothing, but I can help change the future. With that said, do you see my point now?" A gust of wind blew by them as Titania sighed.

"…Ok, I could use your help on this." She looked around as early night was beginning to set in. "In the mean time, I'm headed back to my hotel room in the city; I guess I'll see you later then." The blue haired man spoke up, biding her goodbye.

"Alright ill see later, I'm just going to set up camp here for the night." Hearing this, Erza stopped and faced him once again.

"You don't have a room anywhere?" Jellal chuckled slightly as he responded.

"How would I get a room with no money?" Shaking her head, Erza sighed.

"It's not safe to stay out here over night. You could come back to my room, if you want." A mild expression of surprise graced the blue haired man's face.

"You want me to stay in your hotel room with you?" The scarlet haired woman frowned.

"I didn't say that! I only OFFERED it as an alternative is all, take it or leave it." This made Jellal laugh.

"Ok, I'll take you up on your offer." Erza only looked at him once before beginning her walk back.

"Well come on its only getting later." The two started their long walk back to town.

Cedar Town

It was early night as the people of Cedar Town all were out enjoying themselves. The streets were noisy as there was a small festival. Everyone in Cedar Town was there, well almost everyone. Two mages, one a man with spiky pink hair and the other a woman with beautifully long white hair lay in bed together as they rested their minds and bodies after having been through so much just a day ago. They had managed to narrowly escape death after having being poisoned by their enemy. Then to add more things to their already exhaust minds, they got a glimpse into their future. The visions presented to them left them confused beyond reason as they tried to figure things out.

"It's weird." The dragon slayer said all of a sudden, catching the bar mage attention. The room was pitch black as he held her in his strong arms.

"What's weird Natsu?" He groaned as he began to explain.

"Out of the three visions we saw, I didn't see either of us in there once." The takeover mage's eyes widened as she realized it was true.

"I didn't think about that, I wonder why?" Natsu yawned as he tried to think of a reason. Failing, he sighed.

"I can't come up with anything to be honest. In any case, I think we should get to sleep, I know you must be just as tired as I am after everything that's happened." Mirajane nudged Natsu gently so that he would unwrap his arms from around her.

"Yeah, I don't feel like trying to figure anything else out at the moment." She rolled over just enough to share a kiss with Natsu, and then laid back into her original position with him wrapping his arms around her.

"Goodnight, Natsu." The woman slowly began drifting off to sleep, the dragon slayer chuckled.

"Goodnight, Mira." Just before Natsu fell completely asleep, a single thought crossed his mind.

'How did I ever get this lucky…' After thinking this, he too had fallen asleep for the night.

That sums things up for this chapter pretty much. I'll fix any errors I missed while checking if there are any, feel free to leave a feedback on the chapter :D
