[##released power##]
Midnight smiled as he faced off against Erza, who was wearing her Robe of Yūen, causing the man to smile. "It looks like I'm getting my real fight after all," Midnight said, "I'm going to enjoy destroying you."
"I swear on this sacred blade I wield," Erza told him, "I will end this chaos and your life as well."
"Nirvana marches ever closer to our target," Brain staff told them "we cannot be stopped, soon this will be the end for cait shelter."
"Come Erza," Midnight asked " I want to see your strength with my own eyes," Midnight smiled, "but if you think you can land a hit on me, you must be dreaming," he said as Jellal attempted to stand up.
"you don't stand a chance against his reflector magic," Jellal tried to warn her, "you saw what it could do," he muttered, "it will turn your attack against you in an instant."
Erza smiled at her old friend before she charged into her battle with Midnight.
Zero
In a flash, Erza slashed her blade at Midnight only for the attack to phase through him, sending a shock wave behind him "you could be the fastest person alive, but you won't break my reflector," Midnight told her as Erza continued her attack he was about to say something else when he felt Erza punch his stomach sending him flying into the wall "how you... you hit me."
standing, Erza put up two fingers "there are two," she told him, "two crucial weaknesses in your defense magic," she reveals, shocking both Midnight and Jellal at how quickly she figured that out
"amazing," Jellal said to himself, "she figured that out in such a short time," Jellal said, impressed.
"while you can manipulate weapons," Erza told him, "you cannot affect the human body if so, you have attacked my body rather than my armor," Erza told him as Midnight growled, "isn't that right."
"maybe," Midnight said, standing up, "but what does it matter," he said as he then used his magic to make Erza's Robe of Yūen wrap around her. "I can use all those lovely clothes you wear to squeeze you till you pop," he told her. Erza, however, didn't flinch. She remained calm, which confused Midnight.
"that's one weakness," Erza said as she made multiple swords appear above Midnight, which confused Jellal 'wait, no matter how many swords you throw, you can't hit him' he thought as Midnight looked in fright as the swords rained from the sky Midnight jumped out of the way sending him flying back "earlier, when I threw my sword you dodged it instead of changing its path," Erza asked as Midnight stood up "it's cause you can only control one space at a time, either yourself or your opponents, leaving you completely vulnerable while attacking me."
"she figured all that out," Jellal asked, "she truly is amazing as they say."
"and once more," Erza told her, "this my Robe of Yūen, which is the most flexible out of my collection of armors," she said as she broke free, "making me immune to your spell" she smiled as she pulled back her spear. "I guess you consider this a third a weakness." she bragged as Midnight backed up in shock
"No," Midnight cried out. "No, it's late," he screamed as Erza smiled.
"This battle is over," she told him, to which he laughed.
"not what I meant," Midnight told them "you missed the chance to let me beat you before midnight," he told them, "you just lost your chance to rest in peace," as he said that a large bell was heard, confusing Erza and Jellal.
"what's that" Erza asked
"sounds like a bell," Jellal told her.
"that's right," Midnight said, "tolling the midnight hour, and when the clock strikes midnight, my power, hit its terrifying peak" Midnight shouted as the sky turned red and he turned into a gigantic monster towering over Erza; he then made a magic blast which Eraz tried to strike but was blasted away by as MIdnights scream echoed through the air
"What is this" Jellal asked "it's not a takeover," he said, "it's something I've never felt before" as Midnight turned his gaze towards him
"Jellal," he said as he picked him up, "your reign was based on lies," he told them "there was no freedom, in the tower of heaven," he told him "even after the uprising, I was too afraid to sleep at night."
"what," Erza asked, "how do you" she then remembered when she was facing off against Cobra how he wondered if she was there ' you were at the tower of heaven" Erza now remembered seeing people that looked like the members of the oracion seis, but younger "you were all there weren't you, at the tower of heaven," she said in shock
"don't be so smug, Erza," Midnight shouted, "you're just as guilty as Jellal. After the uprising, you turned your back and ran," Midnight told her, "for all those years, and now you reunited with him, your both the same," he told her as Erza attempted to slash him only for his body to disappear and for her to see her blade going through Simon.
"No," Erza muttered. "I didn't want to," she said, thinking that she left all those people suffering in the tower of heaven; she slashed again, only this time it was grandpa rob "no." she cried "I didn't want to"
"you did it again," Midnight said from behind her; she attempted to attack him again only to see Natsu, Lucy, Gray, and Happy falling to the ground "you're a monster Erza," he told her "you bring nothing but pain and misery wherever you go."
she attacked again, only this time to see Jellal in front of her "he was a monster; he hurt your friends and took one away from you," Midnight said, "and you still believe that there is good in him" Erza tried to attack him again only for Midnight to hit her back "this is only the beginning, the midnight hour is still young" Midnight shouted until a single slash was heard all the red had vanished replaced by the night sky everything was how it was as Jellal stood up he saw Erza one eye closed and Midnight having been struck
"how," Jellal wondered as Midnight started to fall to the ground, "only a moment ago, he was a towering monster," as MIdnight looked in horror at Erza, who stood and faced him.
"I must say," she told him, "your Illusion magic is impressive," she said, smiling "however, it doesn't work on me," Erza said, revealing her artificial eye.
"what," Midnight asked.
"an Illusion," Jellal said, "but it seemed so real."
[##Tsuioku Mezameru Tamashii Ost##]
"No," Midnight said as tears began to run down his face." but I'm the ultimate one," he said, "the strongest member of the oracion seis, even better than Brain," Midnight said, "I was supposed to be the greatest wizard that ever lived" as he stared into the sky he smiled 'my one true wish, my prayer, was to one day, find a nice and quiet place, so I may finally get some sleep."
"So this who Erza truly is," Jellal said
"If you truly wish to be strong," Erza told him, "you must first find out what makes you weak," Erza said, "and, more importantly, live with an open heart."
In the tower, Natsu was thrown into a wall by Brain's staff while Gray jumped on the side"Natsu," he shouted as he looked at the stick. "I can't believe this is happening," he then charged the staff only to ram him in the gut.
"Are they getting beat up by a staff" Lucy moaned as Happy tried to hold back his laughter
"got ya," Natsu called out.
"good," Gray called out, "now that we got this clown where we want him to let's," Gray interrupted when the staff headbutted him again "keep that thing still," he shouted at Natsu.
"you try dodging slowpoke" as the two broke into a fight, Lucy and Happy sighed. This was bound to happen. Eventually, brain's staff then looked at Lucy, which scarred her.
"Why do I always get the creepy stares," Lucy muttered, "once again, my beauty is a curse on my person."
letting out a sigh, the staff turned around. "I'm sorry, I thought there was a woman here, but it's just a girl."
"what"
"Now," Natsu shouted.
"get him," Gray finished, only for the pair to be knocked down again.
"kids," the staff moaned, " you flaunt your body's all you want, but this is where it gets you."
"Looks like someone has some age issues," Lucy moaned as the staff came to a stop, "the truth hurts, doesn't it."
"oh no," it muttered. "This can't be" as he saw Midnight had fallen "they all have fallen," he said, dropping his crystal ball, "the horror that awaits us is much worse," he muttered "the great one is coming"
"what," Natsu asked
"who's coming."
"I bet whoever this great one is," Happy said, "it's not going to be so great for us."
Outside, the Final tattoo on brain's face disappeared as a bright light flashed around them as he opened his eyes as they turned blood red, his skin turning pale as he started to stand up.
"it's Brain," the staff muttered.
"that guy," Gray asked, "the old bald bruiser put him down already," Gray said
"I'm aware of that," it replied, "but what you don't know is that there is another personality lurking inside him," the staff told them "you've met the outer one, Brain, the calm fame loving side," it explained "then there's him, he loves nothing but destruction" the staff muttered, "they call him Zero."
"Brain was bad enough," Lucy muttered.
"This one's worse," Happy said
"he has an unquenchable thirst for power followed by a thirst for destruction," the staff told them, "but Brain was able to seal him away using six magic seals."
"the oracion seis," Gray muttered.
"yes," the staff answered, "bound together by body link magic," the staff explained, "and now that they've all been defeated, Zero is now free to roam the land again, destroying anyone unfortunate enough to stand in his path" an explosion was heard behind them as Natsu and Gray got ready for a fight from the smoke, a figure appeared "master Zero," the staff said," I humbly welcome your return," it said as he slammed its face on the ground."
"it's been far too long, Klodoa," Zero said "things must have taken a turn for the worst," he smiled as he looked around "even Midnight fell in battle."
"Forgive me, master," the staff is known as Klodoa asked.
"I'm not angry," Zero muttered "it's been far too long since I've had a body" Zero mussed "this flesh, this power" Zero let out a laugh "how I've longed for it" Zero shed brains clothes as he changed into a green uniform as Natsu and Gray backed up from the power he was giving off a green aura surrounding him "you scum" Brain muttered, "you destroyed my guild, and as it's master I must have revenge."
"what" Lucy muttered "he's the true master of the oracion seis," Lucy asked.
"I guess so," Happy told her.
"you feeling fired up, Natsu," Gray asked.
"you bet," Natsu said, "this guy has some crazy magic power; we need to take him down and fast."
"Yes," Zero muttered. "I'll start with the bald one," Zero muttered, "he was the one who harmed this body while Brain was in charge of it" he then fired an attack at the unconscious Jura while Gray jumped in the way
"{Ice make: shield}" he screamed blocking the attack "you'd attack someone who can't move," Gray asked, "you're a coward," Gray shouted at him.
"spare me," Zero said as he blasted through Gray's shield knocking the pair back. "I take admirable pleasure in destroying many things that do not move; why would he be an exception."
"that's it," Natsu shouted as she charged Zero; the two clashed magic, creating a powerful shockwave "now burn," Natsu shouted as he moved over tapped him with his finger sending him into a wall.
"Okay," Happy said, clinging onto Lucy's leg, "now I'm scared."
"I," Lucy muttered. "I can't move," Lucy said as Zero sat his gaze on her "it's like my feet are glued to the ground," Lucy said as Zero sent a blast towards her creating a large explosion in the process, leaving her and Natsu and Gray even Happy on the ground defeated as Zero towered over them Klodoa not wanting to meet their fate bowed down again
"good job master Zero" Klodoa said "you did well"
"not quite the decisive blow," Zero said "these vermin are still breathing," he said, which shocked Klodoa. "I must destroy all things."
[##fairy tail central theme slow ver. ost##]
Elsewhere Erza felt a ping from her mark clutching; she wondered what it meant. 'I hope Natsu and the others are okay' she said they were connected through this, which naturally meant something. behind her, Jellal had come to a stop "think you can go on" Erza asked
"Yeah," Jellal said, "don't worry about me," he said
"I'm sorry," Erza told him. "I'm so concerned with stopping Nirvana that I'm taking you into account," Erza said, "your body hurt, and your magic energy has been wasted in battle."
"I'm fine, Erza," Jellal told her. "I unleashed Nirvana onto the world; I will make things right."
"I know," Erza said as she looked into the sky, "it's just," she let out a sigh, "how long will we have to fight the never-ending battle" Erza wondered, "will there ever be a moment in our lives where we know what peace is," she asked.
Meanwhile, Wendy continued to Look for Jellal as Carla had landed her again. "I'm sorry about pushing you," Wendy told her.
"it's fine, child," Carla told her; she looked over the city "it's like looking for a needle in a haystack," she muttered, "why does this city have to be such a sparling."
"those mountains look familiar," Wendy said, "we're running out of time," Wendy said, "I'm getting scared; what do we do if we can't find him."
"you can start by focusing on your goals," Carla told her " do you want to catch up to Jellal, or see if he can stop Nirvana chase two mice, and you come with none."
"you're right," Wendy said, "we can't let our guild get destroyed," Wendy said. "I know what I have to do."
smiling, Carla nodded, "then focus your mind on that," Carla said, "the rest will come later."
"right," Wendy said, "the only thing that matters is stopping this thing in its tracks."
Nirvana rose over the mountains cait shelter was now in range "there it is, master Zero," Klodoa said, " our number one target," the floating staff said, "the only ones with the power to stop Nirvana."
"What utter nonsense," Zero said
"what master" before Klodoa could continue, a blast had knocked him down, and Zero proceeded to crush the skull destroying him
"I crave destruction," Zero muttered. "I need no reason," he said as Nirvana started to charge up " all things must fall by my hand!" he shouted "now Nirvana," he said
"Fire"
