Sorry for not putting up any chapters for the past few days. I was really busy with a few things and it was really hectic for a while. This is going to be short, I really don't want to say anything more.

With the arrival of Wendy, Fairy Tail holds a significant advantage. Wendy can easily eat any attack Kyle throws at her and this will be the deciding factor in the battle. In the years that had passed, Wendy had grown stronger, becoming more mature although she was not as strong as Natsu. This was Wendy's chance to shine.

"Galvanir!" Kyle shouted as green light shot towards Wendy, the blades cutting through the cobblestone street towards the air dragon slayer.

Natsu and Gajeel gave a little smirk as Wendy simply opened her mouth and bit straight into the light, shattering the waves of green light. Wendy landed, smiling and Kyle took another step back, ooking frantically through his book for a spell that could possibly defeat Wendy. The Bildeburg leader grimaced as he flipped through the book quickly, knowing that his defeat would be imminent if he could not conjure up a spell that was for an element that was not Iron, Fire or Air. However, he failed to notice Wendy preparing to counter attack.

The young dragon slayer slowly opened her mouth, planting her feet firmly on the cobblestone street. She focused on Kyle's chest, and she let out a ferocious roar as Kyle looked up in terror. Natsu, Gajeel, Asura and Azami cheered Wendy on as the wind blasted from her mouth at breakneck speed.

"The Sky Dragon's Roar!"

"FIrnav-"

Kyle never got to finish his spell. The twisting winds hit him straight in the chest, sending the dark guild master spinning into a house, completely destroying it. The mages of Fairy Tail let out a shout as Wendy made a triumphant shout. The house collapsed where Kyle had fallen, but a green flash sent the pieces of house flying out of the way. Kyle emerged from the house, his suit ruined, his hair filled with pieces of brick, and with his book all dusty. His eyes were wide with fear and anger as he let out a shriek.

"Bilderburg! Retreat!" he shouted as he turned to run from the group of Fairy Tail mages.

Natsu and Gajeel frowned as Kyle tried to escape. Natsu's hand burst into flames and Gajeel's arm became a rod of iron as they grinned at each other.

"I don't think so!" they both shouted as they chased after the dark guild master.

But it was too late. Kyle had created a barrier of green light that Natsu and Gajeel could not get through and by the time Wendy had eaten it, Kyle had disappeared. The Bilderburg mages had slowly retreated and Fairy Tail soon pushed them out of Magnolia. Cries of victory erupted as the cannons on the hilltops were sent tumbling down onto the rocks and were crushed. The Fairy Tail guild stood in the background, battered, yet proud.

Adrianople, the fortress

Hitoshi Ryuusaga had been studying the activities of Tartaros for quite a while. He was also keeping up with "Soul Brewing", and was quite interested in how it worked. But the brown haired man wearing grey colored robes was currently pouring over records of Tartaros activity. He was matching the things needed for Soul Brewing with their activities and he suddenly came upon something strange.

The ingredients to brew a soul required a certain object called, "A Blood Diamond Key". It was an artifact that had never been seen and it could apparently unlock the dimension of the goddesses, allowing the user to travel freely through The Void. Of course, the key would also allow travel through the realm of the dead, giving the user a chance to retrieve one of the many souls that floated within the realm of the dead. Hitoshi passed his eyes over something interesting. The consul was reading a book on the process of Soul Brewing as well and he noticed something interesting.

"One of the ingredients, are memories. They can be either happy or sad, but they need to be incredibly vibrant or gloomy. The last ingredient is the Blood Diamond Key. It is said to appear in only places that are burning hot." Hitoshi frowned when he read that. He had heard the reports of a massive force of mercenaries attacking Magnolia but could that be for memories?

Hitoshi had to assume so as he moved onto the next ingredient. A burning hot place? Hitoshi thought about where the key could appear. Then he realized where it could be. He stood up immediately and he ran out of the office, hurrying for where Lidia and Hyde were.

"Ash Town! Tartaros will be heading to Ash Town next! The volcano!" Hitoshi screamed at soldiers as they passed him.

Hitoshi had found the next target for Tartaros. But will the message get to Fairy Tail in time?

Tartaros HQ

Slosh

Bael grunted as the bag was plopped onto the table in front of Jack. The large and imposing man grunted as Jack looked at the bag with interest. Jack inspected the bag carefully, but not opening the bag. Finally, he looked up.

"These are the memories?" he asked as Bael nodded silently.

Jack turned to look at the large map on the back wall of the meeting area. Several points were crossed out and Jack turned, his cloak swishing as he did.

"Very well. I believe Ferdinand has already left. I will uphold my part of the bargain. If you wish to discontinue working for us, you can. However, you must never tell anyone anything about what we do." said Jack seriously as Bael grunted.

Bael pulled one of the chairs out and sat in it, looking up at Jack. The cloaked man was a mystery but Bael was more than content with the situation. He had done his job. He could be free now. The memories that he had stolen from Fairy Tail would be a loss for them but Bael tried not to hold any hard feelings as he spoke to Jack.

"I will never tell anyone anything I have had to do. Who would want to learn of such atrocities? You forced me to work for you and now I have done everything you asked. I will be leaving without a doubt, but I will always remember you." Bael said as he stood and marched over to the door, opening it to reveal the night sky.

Jack let a sly smile come to his lips as he stood to show Bael the way out. He turned to look at Bael.

"And why is that, I wonder?" asked Jack as Bael stepped out of the door.

Bael did not turn around to answer. He just stared out into the night sky.

"It is because you are the man that all people fear. A man pretending to do good, but causing evil to happen." responded Bael as he slammed the door shut behind him.

Jack frowned as he looked at the closed door. Pretending to do good? Jack slowly smiled as there was the sound of metal scrapping against wood. Jack started to walk away from the door, smiling.

"Perhaps you are right Bael. We may pretend to do good, but dead men tell no tales…"

Sorry for this weird chapter. I feel like I didn't do a good job with it. Some foreshadowing with Jack and a scene with Hitoshi in it. This story is starting to conclude although the ending will surprise some of you. Anyways, I hope you liked the chapter and see you all later. FF
