Welcome back to the next chapter of the story! I'm really staying on my update schedule, which says a lot. Since I'm ready to take on my Biology test tomorrow and ended studying a bit... okay a lot earlier than I expected I decided to update for you guys! Hope that little cliffhanger wasn't that bad. Technically you know what will happen but there are changes in this story. Who knows. Maybe I will kill someone off? Just joking! Or am I? hehe...

Alex: Well I promised you a bad ass Kera and here you go! Hope it will fill your needs ;) And yes! Jose is definitely like Kefka! That's the first thing I thought when I saw him! He's just as crazy as him... but maybe I wrote him a little bit darker in this story. Oh well... it fits better anyway. I'm not sure yet if I'll be writing the fillers. But it is something I'll think about.

luciannedaughterofposiedon: thank you! Hope this one is as good as the last

lilnightmare17: here you go! Enjoy!


Erza grunted as she was slammed into the back wall. Slowly she got back to her feet while wiping the blood away from her mouth. She was completely out of magic energy and was now just fighting out of pure strength and willpower. She couldn't lose to Jose. She just couldn't. That was not a possibility.

Quickly she charged towards Jose again, but he dodged her attack and grabbed her wrist before throwing her into the wall yet again.

Kera gritted her teeth as she tried to get out of the rubble. She had to help, but she couldn't do anything under this pile of mess! She needed to help Erza!

Jose grinned as he walked over to the red head. "It's amazing, that you are still alive after so long. Others would have been already killed. If you hadn't taken the hit from the Jupiter Cannon you probably would have had a chance."

Erza got back up and saw his angered face. She frowned. "Why are you so angry then?"

"Because a strong mage like you is with that weak old man. Someone like you could have so much potential but Makarov is a fool."

"So this is just based off of jealousy? This whole war!?" Erza yelled in anger. Again she charged at Jose but he simply dodged her attack again, but this time he used his Darkness Magic to trap her in a snare.

He grinned. "Actually this war is all because of Lucy Heartfillia."

"What!?" Kera asked and Jose grinned. "Yes, do you think I'm stupid? Makarov is using Miss Heartfillia to get the money. It's pathetic to say the least." Suddenly Erza was shocked with electricity and she shouted out in pain. Kera tried to get out of the rubble yet again but failed yet again. Come on! Come on! For once in my life don't be pathetic and weak! Kera yelled inside of her head as she tried to push the rock off of her.

After the electricity died down Erza started to laugh. "Do you really think that? You don't even know Lucy! If you actually know her you would know that she doesn't have any access to her family's money. She struggles with her rent for her small apartment in the town. Lucy is the warm and peaceful heart of the guild."

Kera gave them a short glance and saw that Jose was not pleased with what Erza had told him. He looked like he was going to explode, but somehow collected his cool again.

And that meant bad news.

Agh! Come on! Push! Kera thought hard as she tried to push again. Please just move!

Jose frowned. "That… is unfortunate news, but alas I was going to get the money anyway by just kidnapping dear Lucy. This war was never because of Lucy completely. I just want the money. Now listen carefully, I am going to kill you, but after I show your pitiful form to your guild mates. To show them that no one can stop me, not even the all powerful Titania." Another shock of electricity made her scream out in pain, but the shades also tightened themselves around her.

Kera knew Erza was in trouble. She had to get out of this mess. She had to get out of this god damn rubble! With all her strength she tried to move the rubble and luckily it finally moved slightly.

Erza gritted her teeth. "No… I will not… be a liability."

Kera's eyes went wide as she saw the sword on the ground move and hover in the air. It went to Erza's back and the brunette immediately knew what she was going to do. "Erza don't!" She yelled trying to stop her. She couldn't do this!

She sighed. "I'm… sorry Kera."

"NO!" She yelled in anger and rage. Not even figuring it out how, Kera enveloped her arms in a stony mass yet again that gave her more strength. With immense strength and a loud roar she pushed the rock that was trapping her away before charging at Jose.

The Wizard Saint was taken by surprise as Kera smashed her stoned fist into his face causing the Shades to break and letting Erza go. The red head was also shocked as she fell to the ground, the sword clattering as it hit the stone floor behind her.

How did Kera…

How was she able to…

The brunette smashed her other stoned fist into Jose's stomach sending him smashing against the wall. But Kera wasn't done yet. She kept on sending punches straight towards Jose injuring him more and more. Jose was able to dodge the last attacked and jumped back. He wiped away some blood. "Remarkable strength. You were stuck under rubble but seeing your friend in danger, what she would have done made you angrier, stronger. You may have caught me by surprise, but that was the last time you will have that chance." Opening his palms he sent his Dead Wave towards Kera, but the brunette just had pure hatred in her eyes. With one swing at them with her stone covered fist she destroyed the blast immediately.

Jose's eyes went slightly wide. He could do nothing to stop the attack sent towards him. Kera smashed her fist into his body smashing him against the wall. She kept him against the wall with her left hand while she had her right one pulled back. "I will kill you!" She snarled. There was only rage and hatred in her voice. It's like Kera was a complete different person. She was about to punch him but a dark wall stopped her from hitting him.

The man's voice irritated her more. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, didn't your parents teach you about not hitting people? Oh right, you don't have any." He grinned.

Kera's eyes went wide as she yelled at him. "Shut up you bastard!" She yelled before destroying the dark wall. Quickly she pulled her arm back wanting to punch him again, but Jose was quicker. With a swift kick into the stomach he pushed the brunette back with such force that sent her skidding across the ground.

With her fist she caught herself ripping up the ground slightly.

Jose laughed as he took a few steps forward, his hands behind his back. "Believe me, I done my homework not just on Lucy Heartfillia. I also have done some research on you Kera. You were an interesting subject. You picked up my interest. You are a Dragon Slayer but acquired your powers when you were what? Twelve years old? And you still can't master it. It seems like you gain strength when your emotions pick up. Mostly when you are what? Distraught? Angered? Wanting Revenge? I could do so much with you."

Kera glared at him. How dare he talk about her like that! First he tried to kill Erza and now he wants to test on her? Immediately she charged at him. "You sick son of a bastard!" She yelled at him sending more attacks at him, but what fueled her anger more was that he kept on dodging them.

Jose kept grinning as he dodged her attacks. Somehow he had gotten quicker. Kera tried to punch him again, but Jose side stepped with a grin before kicking her in the ribs sending her back to the wall.

Kera was about to charge at him again, but was stopped as pain ran through her arm. She cried out in pain. Jose shook his head. "You should know where your place is. I am a Wizard Saint, there is nothing you can do. Not even a Dragon Slayer can beat me." The brunette gritted her teeth as the pain ran through her body. She had no idea how it was possible, but those black tendrils went through her arm, abdomen and chest pinning her against the wall. Blood started flowing down her injuries as she was unable to move.

Erza raised her head and was met with the gruesome sight. "No…" This was not possible. How could this happen? She tried to get up on her feet, but she was completely out of strength and energy. She simply fell back down watching helplessly at the form of her friend.

How could she fail Kera like this? She was supposed to be there for her. Be her older sister and protect her. And here she was, useless and weak on the ground, watching her best friend who tried to help her, no who actually saved her from death, being on deaths door herself.

Jose smirked as he walked over to Kera. "Lucky you, I have avoided the vital areas, but it still hurts, doesn't it? You'll live, that is if you don't hang there for a while."

Kera gritted her teeth at him. "B-Bastard." She spat out blood coming out of her mouth.

The Wizard Saint sighed. "Such a pity. Lucy will be out of harm's way. After I get the money from her father she is free to go. You do not have this privilege. I will keep you and I will figure out your special ability of using all four elements. It is very rare. I have never heard anyone with this kind of power before. It's like you're one of a kind."

"You monster!" Erza shouted trying to stand up again, but her legs gave away under her. She hit the ground hard. She gritted her teeth. She couldn't do anything.

Jose chuckled as he took a quick glance to Erza, but glanced back at Kera. "It's like you're a complete different person when you're this mad. Where are you? Is your mind stuck in your past memories? Or did you develop a second part of your mind where you fuel your anger through horrible memories and turn into this… beast?"

Kera gritted her teeth, the pain running through her body. "W-What… d-do y-you know?" She asked glaring at him.

"For all I know, you could have done something for him. Yet you didn't. You ran like the scared pathetic little girl you are. He probably hates you." Jose said with a smirk.

Her eyes widened with rage. Several images flashed through her mind of a young boy with short black hair and loving, caring eyes. "YOU KNOW NOTHING! LEAVE MARC ALONE!" She shouted struggling against the dark tendrils, but cried out in pain as she moved. Jose just laughed at her pain. Kera though wasn't done yet. "I SWEAR! When I get out of here I WILL kill you! You will PAY for EVERYTHING you have done! You will PAY for kidnapping and hurting Lucy! You will PAY for destroying our guild! I WILL kill you for hurting my sister! AGH! YOU WILL PAY FOR MENTIONING HIS NAME!" Kera yelled at him trying to get out of his grasp ignoring the pain she was feeling.

Erza looked shocked. She has never seen Kera this mad and berserk. What... what was wrong with her? Her eyes... they don't even look like hers anymore. What is going on with her?

A sudden light stopped Jose's sick amusement. He took a step back away from the Dragon Slayer in front of him. He saw the tendrils that were holding the girl against the wall vanish and watched her fall to the ground. The light kept surrounding Kera. She could feel her wounds somehow healing. Looking down at herself she noticed that her injuries were gone. She was also calming down at a very quickly pace. She wasn't fueled by this anger that was boiling inside of her. Sense and reasoning slowly came back to her.

Jose turned around and saw the same light surrounding Erza. The same happened to her. All of her injuries vanished as well. What was also surprising was that the two girls felt completely rested and healed and they both stood up as if nothing had happened.

"No." Jose muttered knowing exactly what this was.

Footsteps were heard and everyone turned around seeing a person walking into the room. Both Kera and Erza were surprised. "Master!?"

Jose narrowed his eyes. "Makarov."

Indeed, Makarov Dreyar walked into the room with his white coat on. He had a hatred glare towards Jose. A quick glance towards his two children was enough for him to feel at ease. "Are the two of you alright?"

Both of them nodded their heads. Makarov turned back to Jose. "Then leave this place."

Kera's eyes went wide. "But Master…"

Erza cut her off. "As you wish." She then pulled Kera out of there and headed back to the guild that was now completely in ruins. Kera looked at Erza a bit confused. She knew that the red head followed orders from the Master, but she always stayed if there was a battle on. Why was she acting so strange and why was she trying to get her out of here so quickly?

When the two left Makarov turned towards Jose. "Destroying our guild is one thing, but hurting my children and almost killing them is going way too far."

Jose chuckled. "Oh? You can't tell me that you don't see it. The power she is able to wield. The possibilities she could do all just on the touch of messing with her emotions. Ah, all the tests I could do, the power I could achieve."

Makarov frowned at him but the Wizard Saint just gave him a cocky grin. "I am surprised you haven't done anything. I know you sense the power within her."

"Yes, I do sense it, but I'm not like you Jose. I am not like them. I don't hurt my children. Yes she may have a lot of power, but I will not test on her. That is inhumane. Only someone as sick as you would do something like that."

"Then please tell me how you will bring that power out?" Jose asked.

"I won't…" Makarov told him. "I am not going to do anything. Kera will find that power on her own. She is capable of it and I know it. I may not know exactly what they done to her, but she will find a way to find that power on her own. She has her friends that will help her as well. They will stand by her side till the end."

Jose laughed as he shook his head. "Them? At this rate she will never see that power! You know she's running out of time. Wait too long and I won't need to destroy you, because she is the one who will destroy all of you. And it won't be long anyway because it has already started showing."

Makarov frowned. "I will not let that happen. You on the other hand need to be punished. I still won't forgive you for what you have done. Now you can surrender peacefully. You have three seconds before I will end you."

Jose laughed thinking he was joking but his eyes went wide as he noticed the familiar stance. "You wouldn't." He frowned, but the old man glared at him. "No, I would."

Wow, Kera can sure get mad! You don't really want to piss her off. So I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. It's even a bit longer than the last one. And what is Jose talking about? Well, of course I know but you guys don't! Maybe you can connect the dots or leave a hunch in the reviews. Until next time!
