Kanji's POV

Hibiki filled us in and explained that with a little teamwork they had managed to restore the Christina and get it flying again but they didn't have much more time left before they went down.

"Listen." Hibiki explained "I finally found the way to stop Nirvana. The legs are actually pumps pulling magic out of the earth into lacrima to keep it running. If you can destroy those six lacrima at the same time Nirvana will cease to function."

"How can we possibly time something like that?" Erza asked.

"I'd love to help but my magic won't hold out that long. I've uploaded a timer into each of your heads, it's set to right before Nirvana will fire a second time."

Oh that's interesting I know the time now.

"Twenty minutes." Wendy said.

"How futile." An unknown voice called into our brains.

*HISS!*

"Calm down." I said petting the snake.

"Someone's hijacking my telepathy." Hibiki warned.

"My name is Zero, the master of the Oracion Seis."

"I thought Brain was the master."

"Now hear me wizards of light!" Zero yelled out "I will now proceed to destroy everything. I already started with three of your comrades, A fire mage, an ice wizard and a celestial wizard…oh and a cat."

Those four….

"You want to destroy the six lacrima; well I'm waiting at one of them. You will never win!"

"He dropped the connection." Hibiki said.

That's bad. Erza, Jellal or I are the only ones who could think about taking him on, and Jellal is too weak right now. I don't like the odds.

"We don't have six mages." Carla pointed out.

"I can't use destruction magic." Wendy said.

"We have three people her." Erza said "We need three more."

"Hurry I'm running out of time." Hibiki warned.

"Come one we need three people." I said.

"Get up Gray, you're embarrassing Ur."

"Lucy I can't stand you…but how can I hate you if you die."

"Getting take down so easily is embarrassing Natsu." I added "Get up you brat!"

"Can you hear us?"

"Hell yeah."

"Destroy…six lacrima…at same time."

"Each lacrima has a number" Hibiki explained "quickly pick one."

Natsu wanted one, Gray two, Lucy three; I took four, Erza five, and Jellal six.

"I have no doubts Zero is at lacrima number one. Natsu has a good nose he intentionally chose that number." Erza explained

"We should go help him." Wendy said

"He'll be fine." Erza told her.

"Let's go be careful everybody."

I was scooped up by the snake and we flew off towards lacrima number four.

"I've never met a snake that can fly."

LATER

"The time has come Cubellios." I said pulling my fist back.

The snake slithered back to give me room to work.

Let's hope everyone else gets it done.

I clapped my hands above my head "Lightning Dragon's Heavenward Halberd!"

The bolt pierced the lacrima and shattered it.

My part's done

The whole room shook and began to crumble.

"Everyone else must have destroyed theirs as well. Good job Natsu."

I hopped on Cubellios back and we flew out a crack in the wall to escape the crumbling city.

"You flying is a big help. I promised to break your curse so I won't leave you like this." I told her "Sometimes I wish I had a cat like Happy or Carla that way I didn't have to use my magic to fly."

We landed in the forest near Gray and Erza.

"Where'd you get that?" Gray asked.

"Long story."

Lucy and Happy came out a few minutes later and Jura and Wendy weren't far behind them.

"Where is Natsu?"

And where's Jellal?

The ground under Lucy bubbled up and revealed Jellal and Natsu being saved by the earth guy from the Oracion Seis.

"Isn't he with the Oracion Seis?" I asked Jura.

"He is our ally now."

"Whatever the job's done now." I said

"Who's that guy?" Gray asked pointing over at Jellal.

"It's Jellal." Erza told him.

"Only he has no memories." I added "He's back to how he was before we met."

I walked up to Jellal "Thanks for your help I guess." I mumbled "listen I won't forgive the things you did to Erza and her friends but Erza has made a point to try and help you and so will I. But if you hurt her again I'll rip the life from your body without hesitation."

"You don't need to act like my friend." He said.

"I'm not. We're not friends, I don't think we ever can be but I'm Erza's future husband. If she wants to help you then I'll help her." I said sternly.

"What are you two talking about?" Erza asked entering the conversation.

"Nothing." He mumbled.

"What are you going to do now?" Erza asked him.

"I don't know. I'm scared that my memories will return."

"So what." I told him "You may not remember it but your past will always be part of you. Accept it and move forward. Based on everything Erza told me I think you're just a guy who got led down the wrong path in life. Just cause the memories returned doesn't mean the hate will."

"There's a rune trap here." Jura called out.

What now.

"Refrain from moving and we will have no problems." A man explained "My name is Lahar. I work for the New Magic Council."

"The New Council!"

"Boy they catch on fast." I mumbled "We've only been here like two days."

"We haven't done anything wrong." Happy told him.

"We are here for the Oracion Seis, please hand over the one called Hoteye."

Jura tried to convince Lahar to let him go but Hoteye wanted to turn himself in and atone for his crimes. Jura offered to search for his missing bother while he was in prison. Hoteye explained who his brother was and I turned out to be Erza's friend Wally.

"It really is a small world." I joked.

"Okay now lower the barrier." Gray said.

"Our goal is not just the Oracion Sies."

Crap he knows!

"Jellal, you're coming with us. Don't resist we have permission to kill you." Lahar explained.

Jellal walked forward without a problem and let them cuff him.

"Wait he's lost all his memories." Wendy tried to explain "He doesn't remember doing those things."

"Ignorance is not an excuse young lady." Lahar told Wendy Jellal wasn't getting off the hook.

"It's okay." Jellal told her "I don't plan on resisting. I'm sorry I can't remember you."

"She said you saved her when she was young." Carla said.

"It's good to hear that at least once I was able to help someone. Erza thank you for everything."

Jerk…Coming back just to abandon her like this. It really pisses me off! Playing with her emotions. He's going to make her cry again…

Screw it!

"He's not going anywhere!" I pushed passed dozens of guards "He's coming with me!"

"Restrain him!"

"Stay out of his way!" Gray and Natsu pushed passed and created space for me "GO!"

"Stop running away from your problems Jellal. You have to stay, for Erza! You're with us!"

"Arrest all of them!"

I got tackled by like twenty guys "JELLAL!"

"That's enough!" Erza yelled "STOP! I apologize for the commotion. Just take Jellal and go."

"Erza…" she gave me a look that told me to stop. I let out a breath and sat down "Just go."

They started to take Jellal away when he stopped "I remember." He looked at Erza "It was the color of your hair. Goodbye Erza."

I can't stand that jerk.

LATER

After they shipped Jellal off Erza went off on her own.

"Nobody bother us alright." I said following her.

I found her sitting out looking over a cliff.

"Hey." I said taking a seat, she didn't answer me "You gonna be alright?"

She just leaned her head on my shoulder and sobbed.

"It'll be alright." I told her turning her body so she was crying into my chest.

It didn't take long for my shirt to get soaked in tears and my ears to hurt for Erza's screams of sadness.

Damn you Jellal. You made her cry, but for some reason I can't really hate you, dislike you sure, but hate…no I just can't.

"You've still got me." I said rubbing her back as she cried "Please don't cry."

"I can't stop!" She said crying.

"It's fine, take as long as you need." I told her staring out at the sunrise.

The sky, it was like it was mocking her. That sunrise was one of the prettiest I have ever seen; it was also one I would hate. Eventually Erza fell asleep in my arms and I carried her off to bed

LATER

Cait Shelter thanked us for saving their guild. We got free clothes for doing it to.

Something about this place feels off. Cubellios has been acting kinda spooked the whole time.

"What's with you?" Gray asked.

"It's nothing." I told him.

Gray headed outside to meet up with the others but I stood in the men's tent.

"Static Resonator!" I stomped the ground to get a look at the area "What that hell? Why are there so few nerve signals?!"

I threw open the tent door and looked around. Everyone was dancing around talking about having a party. I looked around.

None of the villagers are giving off a signal. What's going on here?

"Hey old man!" I yelled at Wendy's guild master "What the hell are you?"

"Kanji!" Erza yelled.

"I want answers old man." I said "No more tricks"

"I must apologize for my fiancée, he's an idiot." Erza told him.

"No it's fine." The man said "He right I owe you all an explanation. We are not the Descendants of the Nirvits. We are the Nirvits. The man responsible for creating Nirvana was me."

"That would make you four hundred." Lyon pointed out.

"Four hundred years ago in hopes of ending war I created the reversal magic, Nirvana. Nirvana became a symbol of peace for our nation. But every great power always has an opponent. Where darkness isn't light must be, and where light isn't darkness must remain. All the dark energy Nirvana absorbed became part of the Nirvit people, and we killed each other off. I am the only survivor."

"No you're not." I said "You're not giving off a signal, your body perished centuries ago."

"Yes that is true. I watched over this place since then waiting for someone to do what I could not and destroy Nirvana. Now my task I complete."

The people in the village started disappearing one by one terrifying Wendy.

"What's happening to them?" Hibiki asked

"They have no signal because everyone in this village is just an illusion!" I pointed out surprised.

"Illusions with their own unique personalities?" Lyon asked.

"Such powerful magic." Jura added.

The master explained that he created the guild to look after Wendy after Jellal left her here.

"A guild just for Wendy!" Lucy said shocked.

He was nothing but the remnant of someone long gone…and he created this whole guild just to project the happiness of one little girl…incredible.

"No I don't believe you!" Wendy yelled.

"You no longer have need of illusory companions." Her master said "You have real friends now." The man started fading away "Please look after Wendy and Carla."

And then he was gone.

Wendy just sat there on the ground crying out for the man to come back.

Erza walked past me and got on the ground next to Wendy "It always hurts to lose a loved one, but your companions will be there to help you through it. Why don't you come with us, to Fairy Tail?"
