Author's Note: There is a reason behind every flash back. If you think there is something going on, then there most likely is. I like to pull in a bit of foreshadowing as well as showing what happened in her past that she doesn't remember. I like when you get to a farther chapter and things seem to fall into place. You'll just have to continue reading to find out if you are right about your suspicions.

Chapter 37: Love and War

I'm floating in the darkness of my mind. I admitted to loving Natsu. I doubt he heard me, but I still said it out loud. My hand touches where my heart is. I feel so much lighter, having acknowledged my feelings to myself.

"You love him, don't you?" A soft voice comes from behind me. Zeref? I turn around and see him standing in a forest clearing. I am there to, but my back is to him. He takes a step towards me. "You love my brother." It's almost an accusing tone.

I turn to face him. "Yes, I do, okay!" I can feel my heart pounding in my chest. "I love him." My shoulders sag in defeat.

The smallest of smiles appears on the man's face. "I'm glad. You two will make each other happy." His smile falls when I don't move. "You haven't told him."

I shake my head. "I'm afraid he doesn't love me."

Zeref moves in front of me and cups my face, lifting it to look at him. "Who wouldn't love you, Mayen?" We share a smile as the memory fades to black. I-I love someone.

"Mayen!" A deep growling voice howls through my mind. "What is that?!"

I slap my hand against the side of my neck in reaction. My voice thunders without my lips moving. "It's none of your business, Iggy!"

"Who is he?! Who gave you that mating mark?!" Mating mark? That sounds animalistic. I don't have a mark.

"That shouldn't matter! You should be happy that I'm happy!"

"It's him, isn't it?" His voice drops to a threatening rumble.

I feel anger building up in my gut. "So what if it is?!"

"You are not to see him, again!"

"You can't tell me what to do! I love him, and he loves me! If you can't be happy for me, I'm leaving!"

"Mayen!" The memory fades with the echo of his rage and concern filled voice.

I love someone? There's someone else out there that I've forgotten? Panic quickens my heart beat. What if they are out there looking for me? I look at my trembling hands. I've forgotten them and fell in love with someone else. I grip my hair with tears stinging my eyes. What kind of person am I?! I can't fight my feelings for Natsu, but there could be someone out there looking for me. I touch my neck where I had grabbed unconsciously. What about a mating mark? I don't have a mark anywhere except my guild mark and seal. Does that mean something? I'm so confused!

"Mayen." A warmth spreads through me from the voice. It feels like arms wrap around my waist. A warm chest presses against my side as my head fall onto a shoulder. I-Is this a memory? The smell of fire coils around me. Is this the man I forgot? I bury my nose into a soft fabric around his neck and take a deep breath, letting his scent relax me. The arms tighten around my waist. "Mayen?" The voice is nothing but a whisper. "Come on, kitten. Wake up." Wake up? Is this not a memory? "Wake up, Mayen. Please, kitten." I can feel lips moving against my hair. The voice has a twinge of desperation in its tone.

"N-Natsu?" My voice is soft hoarse. I open my eyes to find my nose buried in a white scarf. Strong arms are wrapped around my waist with my torso on the dragon slayer's warm lap as I am held against his chest. I place my hands on his pecs and push lightly just enough to let him know I'm awake. I lean back in his arms to look up at him. "Natsu."

He smiles down at me. "You're awake." The pinkette's smile falls, and his grip on me tightens. My eyes widen at the serious look in his eyes. His voice is a low grumble. "Don't do that again. I thought I lost you."

I cup his cheek and relax into his arms. I can see the fear he had felt in his eyes. "I can't promise that Natsu. If I think I can help you or protect someone I care for, I will do everything I can."

He grits his teeth. "Just promise you won't die, then I'll promise I won't." I can see he is in desperate need to hear it, to not have to worry about me.

"I promise, Natsu." No sooner are the words out of my mouth is his on mine. My eyes widen before closing. My hand moves from his cheek to the back of his neck as I kiss back. His tongue works its way into my mouth to play with mine. The kiss holds our fear of losing the other. It shows our need to feel the other alive. I pour my heart into the kiss, needing him to know without words. His hand grips my hip tighter, so I know he gets the message as he kisses me harder.

Our lips separate the barest amount with a small string a saliva connecting out kiss bruised lips. Our panting breaths brush against each other's face as we gaze into each other's eyes. His green eyes are shining with his pupils slightly wider than usual. His gaze darts to my tongue when I lick my lips. My head is still spinning from the kiss.

You love him, don't you? Zeref's voice breaks me out of my trance. My eyes widen, and I jolt up, sitting straight. I'm no longer in Natsu's hold. I look around frantically, ignoring the fluttering of my heart. "What happened?! Where's Zancrow?!"

A strong hand grips my shoulder. I turn my head to Natsu with large eyes. "I won." That's all he says as he smiles bright. My eyes are brought down to the white scarf around his neck.

I reach out and caress the soft material with my fingers. "Your scarf…it's white again."

He takes my hand in his and smiles wider. "Yeah, Wendy fixed it!"

I blink. Wendy? I turn back around and sure enough there are Wendy and the Exceeds not too far away watching us. Lying next to us on the ground is a bandaged up master. "Master?!" I gasp and scramble to his side.

He looks up at me. "I'm alright, Mayen."

Carla yells something at Natsu, bringing my attention behind me. Natsu is sniffing the sky dragon slayer. I tilt my head in confusion as he jumps up and sniffs the air. "What is he doing here?"

"Who is it, Natsu?" Happy looks up at his friend.

Natsu looks down at him. "The masked guy I met from Galuna Island." Galuna Island? I search my memory. Natsu and Lucy had told me about all of the jobs I had missed before joining the guild. I recall Natsu saying the guy smelled like woman's perfume and used a weird magic. Natsu twists around looking in every direction, before stopping. "He's close!" He takes off into the forest.

I jump to my feet. "Natsu!" I sigh and look at Wendy. "You stay and take care of the master." This is déjà vu. Once I get a nod from her, I follow after Natsu. I kick up my speed until I am running slightly behind him. I jump over a root. "Natsu!"

He glances over his shoulder at me then faces forward again. "You shouldn't follow me, Mayen. This guy's strong."

I roll my eyes. "That's all the more reason for me to come, Natsu! I'm going to help!"

He growls but doesn't say anything more on the topic. "I can smell it!" He runs faster.

I keep pace with him as Happy flies up between us, catching up. "Wait, Natsu! Why do you want to finish things with that guy from Galuna Island?"

Natsu doesn't even look at the flying cat. "There's a point to it!"

"Although his mask was pretty cool…" Happy diffuses the tension.

"Cool? How?" I tilt my head towards the cat.

My eyebrow twitches as he ignores me. "So by smell, do you mean the smell of sweat inside the mask?"

"No, not that!" Natsu shouts indignantly. "Anyway, take this seriously!" We continue running. The terrain doesn't change much other than turning into a downward slope. "His smell is this way!"

"Wait, Natsu!" I jump over a rock. "The path isn't very good, so you should watch your step!" Happy hums in agreement.

The words aren't even fully out of my mouth, when Natsu misses a step and falls down a vertical wall on a leaf. Sighing, Happy grabs my shoulders, and we follow the screaming wizard. "See, Natsu?" Happy remarks. His screaming stops. Happy looks at me. "Huh? He got quiet all of a sudden."

I glance at the silent dragon slayer and chuckle dryly. "He gets nauseous sliding on leaves? Sheesh." My eyes widen when the leaf sends him over a ledge. Happy flies us down after him.

We find Natsu rubbing his back. "That didn't hurt…at all!"

"Natsu!" Happy shouts as he sets me down on my feet and takes off towards the pinkette. "Natsu! The ground!"

My eyes widen as the ground under his feet starts to give away. A tree sprouts out of the ground growing at a rapid rate. Natsu is thrown to the side. I stop by a different tree. "Natsu!" A familiar scent hits my nostrils, making me look down. Zeref!? Lying unconscious against the base of the tree beside me is the man Grimoire Heart is after.

A woman's voice catches my attention. "There was a small sapling there." Sitting in the newly full grown tree is a black haired woman in a skin tight outfit marked with the dark guild's emblem. "My Time Ark has guided the sapling to its future. I wonder where your future leads, Natsu Dragneel?"

"You're the one from back then…" Natsu's voice is incredulous. He sniffs the air. "It's definitely the same smell."

Happy is standing beside the slayer. His tail straightens. "The guy who used Lyon and the others in Galuna Island?"

Natsu points an accusing finger at the obvious female. "Is dressin' in women's clothing your hobby or something?" I smack my forehead.

"Oh…" Happy nods. "That would explain."

I shake my head with a sweat drop. The enemy dead pans. "Um, this is what I really look like. I'm one of the 7 Kin of Purgatory of Grimoire Heart, Ultear Milkovich." My body tenses. Like Zancrow…No, I can sense that she is much stronger.

Natsu stumbles over her name. "Ul-Tea Milk?"

Happy isn't much help. "Don't trip over your tongue."

"Don't tell me you're after Zeref, too?" Ultear calls from her perch.

I tense and take a protective step towards the unconscious man beside me. I don't think she's realized my presence, yet, as she focuses on to the two in front of her tree. Natsu looks confused and then turns in my direction. His eyes land on Zeref, though.

"Zeref is a person from a long, long time ago!" Happy's shout makes my eyes widen. Wh-What?

"You can't have him, got it?" Ultear ignores the outbursts. "Zeref is mine." I growl low in my throat at that declaration.

"Who'd want 'im?!" Natsu steps forward with a raised fist. "I ain't gonna forgive you guys when you don't even care about your friends!"

"Oh? Then I suppose I'd better pay you back for that last time…" An orb appears out of her arm guard. "And this time, for real!"

"Give me a break you nut." Natsu widens his stance, ready for a fight. "If you hadn't gotten in my way, I'd have been an S Class wizard by now!" He starts climbing the tree to get at her.

"Is that your future?" She throws the orb at him and it starts to glow with magic.

Natsu pushes off the tree to dodge, but something weird happens to the ball. It curves in the air and hits him from several different angles. The dragon slayer lights his arm and punches the ball, shattering it. He lands on a branch as the ball morphs back together and multiplies. What type of magic is this? My eyes widen as I watch.

"The other future of the fractured crystal ball…" Ultear holds her hand up to her mouth. "Parallel worlds…I can create an infinite number of futures, and contract them to head toward a single future." All of the crystals shoot towards Natsu. "Flash Forward!"

I jump towards the falling body. "Natsu!" I catch him in my arms as I skid across the ground.

My head snaps up at her laughing. "Now, now, the fun's just beginning!" I roll us out of the way of another barrage of attacks.

Natsu and I get to our feet. His fists flare up. I look at the orbs filling up the air. "Natsu." He barely tilts his head to let me know he is listening to my soft voice. "You head towards her. I'll handle the crystal balls and make you a path." He glares at me through the corner of his eye. "Don't give me that look. Trust me." Natsu nods.

He kicks off sending up a small dust cloud. Ultear sends her army of orbs at him. Reacting quickly, I swing my legs into a wide stance and cross my arms. "Reequip! Burēdo Mure: Gyakusatsu!" Each knife and star along with multiples of their shadows destroys a single orb, giving Natsu the surprise opening we were hoping for.

Her eyes are wide as the burning fist closes in on her. The woman's expression smooths out to a confident smirk, and she swipes out an arm. The crystal balls reform in an instant. The numbers split, and we are both attacked, giving our own shouts of pain. She can control the flow of time around objects. I glare at her. So, I need to do something to counter that. I grin darkly in realization.

Natsu continues his pointless attacks while trying to dodge the ridiculous number of orbs. I look at the ground and my grin widens at the moving circular shadows. My eyes dart following the shadows to read their movements.

I tense up, readying my attack. Natsu yells and lunges at Ultear again. "Now! Reequip! Burēdo Mure!"

"You should know by now that it's pointless to attack my crystal ball. I'll just turn the time back." Ultear waves a hand in front of her face.

"I'm not aiming for them." I smirk.

"What?!" Her eyes widen when the orbs stop in the air. Littering the ground are my summoned weapons sprouting out of each shadow.

"Gotcha!" Natsu crows. Ultear jumps off of the branch just in time to dodge. Her roost is shattered by Natsu's punch. "Damn it!" He growls jumping back to land beside me. "Mayen, are you alright."

I wipe my brow, panting. "Yeah, I'm fine. I haven't recovered all of my magic power, though."

"Stand down and recover. Happy and I will take her down." Natsu raises a flame covered fist.

I shake my head. "You need my help to stop those orbs, giving you opportunity to attack."

Ultear lands on the ground, standing with a hand on her hip. "You think a cheap trick like that will stop me!"

"Ahhhh!" I reach for Natsu as a tree starts to grow around me, lifting me up into the air. With my concentration broken, my weapons disappear.

"Mayen!" Natsu is hit away by the freed orbs. He skids to a halt near Happy.

I struggle in my prison. "I'm fine, Natsu. Focus on the fight!"

"I've got to pay you back for Galuna Island." Ultear ignores me, now that she perceives that I am out of the fight. "Beating you too quickly would be boring. Play with me a little longer, would you?"

"She's way stronger than she was before!" I can hear the excitement in Natsu's voice from the thrill of the fight.

"I didn't use even half of my power back then." She rolls her now single crystal ball along her hand.

My eyes widen, and I stop struggling when Lucy rolls into the middle of our battle. A large man is falling out of the sky towards her. "Lucy!"

"Move it!" Natsu kicks the new enemy in the face, sending him tumbling towards Ultear. He notices Lucy for the first time as she stands up. "Lucy? Why are you here?"

"Same to you, Natsu!" She dead pans while looking at the shocked wizard. "But thanks to it, I'm saved."

"Lucy!" She looks around confused, before looking up at me. My hands are tied behind my back by curling branches, and my legs are trapped in the truck of the tree.

"Mayen!?" Seeing me imprisoned makes her realize that there is more than one opponent now. "You're fighting, too?" She looks at Ultear.

"She's mine. You can't have her!" Natsu snaps at our blonde friend. If I didn't know him better, I would've felt jealous about the claim.

"She's super strong." Happy reports. "Even with Mayen's help, Natsu's having a hard time."

"No, I'm not!" Natsu turns his torso towards the annoying cat. "I'm gonna beat her!"

"But, there are two enemies now, and Mayen is stuck in that tree." Happy is ever the pessimist.

"But Lucy is here now, too." Natsu places his hands on his waist. "For now, let's forget we're rivals in the exam…" He looks at the blonde. "We'll reform the team!"

Lucy hums in agreement and ties her hair up in its usual ponytail. "This combination brings back the memories…"

"Yeah! Makes you remember the time we met." Happy adjusts the bag on his back.

"I'm all fired up!" Natsu runs his fingers through his hair. They high five. "Let's do this, Lucy!" I smile down at the duo. Lucy had told me how they had worked together before I joined the guild. I know their relationship is like Gajeel's and I's like siblings.

"Let's go, Natsu!" Lucy clenches her fist.

"I'm here, too!" Happy jumps up, not wanting to be forgotten.

Feeling confident in leaving the fight to them, I focus on getting out of my prison. I twists my wrists, feeling how tight the binds are. I can hear the new enemy, but I don't turn towards him. "Ultear, these people aren't worth your time to fight! I can beat them both myself! Just me, and I can handle them!"

"That's not right!" Natsu's voice echoes. "Then it won't be 2 on 2!" His reasoning makes me smile as I try to plan my escape.

"Then I'll leave them to you." Ultear brushes off the battle we had been in the middle of. "I have to take Zeref to Master Hades, after all." I tense and twist around to glare down at her.

"Oh, you've already discovered him?" The other Grimoire Heart wizard claps.

Natsu lunges to land the first hit but is thrown backwards by the male wizard. "Natsu!"

My head snaps back as my struggles double. I have to get out of here! I can't let her take Zeref, and I have to help my friends. I growl deep in my chest. "Darkness is mine to control. I am the master of whatever form it takes. I won't be beaten by a flimsy tree, or a Grimoire bitch. I am a Fairy Tail wizard, and this is our island!" My magic is swirling in my chest, condensing into a ball. A burning sensation flares up in my ribs, but I ignore the growing pain. I close my eyes and roar. "Burakkuhōru*!" The sphere of built up magic explodes around me.

I can feel the bark and tree fall away from my form. All around me is darkness. I pant, dropping to my knees from my depletion of magic. The black slips away like water, leaving me in the clearing where Ultear is closing in on the still unconscious Zeref. I'm practically out of magic. I didn't have time to recover any, and then I went and used such a powerful technique. Sweat is dripping down my brow as I clench my fists. Now that I'm here, I can't do anything!

She bends down to pick him up. My eyes widen. I have to move him! I hit my palms on the ground and use the last of my magic. "Kage no sōryō!" Zeref sinks into his own shadow before Ultear's eyes. He is gone before she can react.

The black haired woman turns in my direction with rage in her eyes. "How dare you take him?! Where is he?! Where is Zeref?!"

I scream as bursts of pain come from every angle. I am lying on my stomach, wounded and out of magic. Fury is making her eyes look on fire. Her crystal ball is back in her hand as a single orb. I cough and smirk at her. "I'll never tell."

She cries out in anger. I can't even whimper as she ferociously attacks me with the uncountable many crystal balls. My ribs crack under the forces hitting them. One smashes against my temple, and I feel the blood pouring down the side of my face. Her outraged scream is the last thing I hear.

"Mayen!" The sounds of little feet on stone wake me up. I open my eyes to see a stone ceiling. I turn my head to the side and face red stone walls of a cave. Where am I? "Mayen!" A little girl with black hair runs into the room and jumps on me. Naiyo?

"Yes, Naiyo?" I calm her down by grabbing her waist.

Her large gold eyes are shining with excitement. "Do you know what today is?" I shake my head with a sweet smile on my lips. She tugs on my hair. "How could you forget!?" I wince when a certain tug hurts more than the rest. "It's my birthday!"

I stare at her with wide eyes. "Is it really?" I tap by chin. "I could have sworn it wasn't for another few months." She whines on my lap. I laugh at her cuteness. I sit up and run my fingers through her hair. "I didn't forget, little one. Happy Birthday." She smiles brightly up at me. "Now, come on. Let's have some breakfast, before I give you your present, alright?" She nods eagerly and is out of the room before I can blink.

I shake my head with a low chuckle. I walk into another area of the cave with some kitchen like appliances. Naiyo is sitting on a pillow on the floor, bouncing in her seat. Laughing, I move to slice and juice some fruits for breakfast.

After eating, Naiyo is quick to crawl into my lap again. "Do I get my present now?!" Her eyes are wide with excitement. She starts to bounce.

I nod at her, smiling. "Yes, so close your eyes. I'll tell you when you can open them, okay?" She clenches her eyes shut and covers them with her hands. Her little body starts trembling as she tries to contain her childish energy.

I wave my hand in the air, and the shadows pull from the cave walls. They swirl in my palm till two fully formed green ribbons appear. I hum as I carefully run my fingers through her hair to tie it up into two high pig tails. Once done, I tap her shoulder. "There all done. Go look in the stream." She jobs off my lap with a squeal and dashes out of the cave.

Natsu relaxes on a large tree root with Happy beside him and Lucy standing in front of him. Mayen is carefully laid out on the root with her bandaged head on his leg. Lucy explains Grimoire Heart's reason for going after Zeref. "It's like I said. They're trying to use Zeref to change the world!"

Natsu leans back against another root. "Change the world, huh? That's just way over-the-top." He gently runs his fingers through her silky hair, careful of the bandage on her temple.

They had found her under a tree with no Ultear or Zeref in sight. Lucy had rushed to her side to start first aid while Natsu was overcome with rage and tried to find a scent trail, but the woman had hid her scent. Unable to do anything else, he waited while Lucy bandaged up his kitten. Lucy had told him that Mayen would be alright, though she has a couple fractured ribs and a gash on her temple. They had let her hair down to not pull on her wound.

Natsu glances down at the green ribbon tied around his wrist as his hand rests on Mayen's head, petting her. He can feel his wrath bubbling just looking at it.

They look at an excited Happy. "I wanna live in a world that's just full of fish!"

Lucy sweat drops. "Um, it's not like that."

"But see here…" Natsu leans back again with a really serious expression. "I'm gonna make sure to finish this." He has one leg crossed over the other. His eyes spell death for all his enemies as he glares off into the distance. "They hurt Gramps and Mayen. Those guys better not think I'll let them off this island."

Lucy looks at Natsu nervously. "Off the island?" Something clicks in her mind. "That's it! They must have a ship somewhere!" Natsu gaze final moves to the rambling woman. "That woman from before said something about bringing Zeref back to their master, right? There's a good chance that their ship is anchored somewhere around here. Zeref is being taken there!" She turns to the little blue cat. "Happy, search for their ship from the sky!"

He rubs his cheek as she squats in front of him. "Looks…like I'm out of magic power."

Her hopes deflate. "Then I guess you're just a widdle kitty cat…"

Natsu gazes back into the forest. "In that case, how about we go back to where Wendy and Gramps is...We can ask Carla and Lily and have Wendy heal Mayen, again." He looks at his companions.

Natsu carefully picks up Mayen, so her head is on his shoulder. All three conscious teammates nod and take off.

"Wendy!" Natsu shouts as the small girl comes into view.

The sky dragon slayer turns towards them with a smile. "Natsu! Lucy, too!" Her eyes widen and she jumps to her feet. "Mayen!"

Natsu smoothly lays Mayen out on the ground, practically getting pushed out of the way by a worried Wendy. Her hands light up with her healing magic. Natsu stays by her side.

Lucy looks at the other body. "How's the Master doing?"

"I can't tell yet…" Wendy says without turning around.

"His wounds are just too severe, I suppose." Panther Lily looks down at Makarov. "But's it's strange…I don't sense that his life is in danger."

"Maybe there's some secret to this so-called 'Sacred Ground'…" Carla theorizes.

The following silence is tense as Wendy finishes healing Mayen. Just as she pulls her hands away, a swirl of dust appear.

Mest materializes out of thin air with a large communication orb. "It's you." Lily turns to glare at the arrival.

Natsu puts his hands on his hips. "Where'd you run off to, jerk?"

Lucy's arms are crossed over her chest. "He's Mest, from the Magic Council.

The false Fairy Tail wizard walks towards them. "My real name is Dranbalt."

Wendy stands up. "Dranbalt?"

Her ex-partner looks at her. "You don't need to worry, Wendy. I've come to rescue you!"

The Exceeds gasp in surprise. Natsu stands between Dranbalt and Mayen. His expression showing that he is not pleased.

The Magic Council member reads the expression as disbelief. "With my magic, I can evacuate just the Fairy Tail members from this island. If you can figure out where everyone is somehow…"

Natsu scoffs and looks away. "Gonna have to pass on that." Dranbalt looks at him with surprise.

Carla puts her paws on her hips. "Why do we have to ask the Magic Council to save us, huh?"

"This is a problem for our guild, and we're gonna deal with these guys ourselves." Panther Lily adds, getting swept up in the guild pride.

Dranbalt steps forward. "That's not it! If headquarters finds out what's going on, there's a good chance they'll fire on the island!" He tries to reason with the stubborn wizards, fear in his eyes.

Happy panics. "They're gonna shoot Etherion again?!"

Lucy dead pans. "Don't you guys ever learn?"

Lily looks at Carla. "Etherion? What's that?"

The white cat holds her chin in thought. "I've heard rumors… It's some destructive magic that's seriously powerful."

Happy walks over to them. "It struck us while we were at the Tower of Heaven!"

"I-Impressive, that you are still alive." Panther commends the small blue cat.

"Well, a lot happened." Happy tries to explain. "I'm not sure of the details, but if I recall, lacrima absorbed it all."

Carla sighs. "This guild just faces crises wherever it goes, doesn't it?"

Wendy clutches her hands together at her chest. "If they fire that on us now…"

Lucy finishes the terrifying thought. "We can't be sure what will happen, can we?"

Natsu brushes off the other's fear. "Then we just have to finish things up first." He glances down at the resting Mayen. I will protect her.

Dranbalt takes a step towards the obstinate dragon slayer. "Makarov's down! And Grimoire Heart still has fearsome people left! There's no way you can win!"

"Hey, now…" Natsu glares at the man, standing his ground. "So that's why you're gonna blow up the whole island?"

Wendy pleads. "This island is our guild's sacred ground! The grave of the founding master is here, too! I couldn't take you attacking this place…" Her voice ends in a squeak.

"I can't believe this!" Lucy huffs in anger. "If you do that you won't get away with it!"

Happy raises a paw. "We're gonna protect the guild!"

"Trying to threaten us?" Dranbalt is confused and shocked. "The Magic Council? You're just some wizard guild!"

Natsu snaps at him, stepping closer. "Now listen carefully, you!" Dranbalt takes a surprised step back at the look in the pinkette's eyes. "I don't give a crap whether it's Grimoire Heart or the Magic Council." Natsu gets right in his face. "Anyone who lays a hand on our guild is the enemy. I'll destroy them all!" There is a tense silence between the two men touching foreheads.

*Burakkuhōru- Black Hole creates a sphere of darkness around her and she can control the diameter of the ball. The darkness devours anything that is not her, turning it into darkness, and teleports her to where she wills herself.
