Chapter 10

(A/N: Just as a heads up, whenever I've been saying how Jakkuna's been smirking or laughing, I was saying what he was doing under his mask which covers his whole face.)

"Jakkuna? You mean, he's the one who had Zander come to Fairy Tail?" Erza said with venom in her voice.

"And he's the one who had Brass capture me and Zander." Lucy said.

"And speaking of Brass, I was quite surprised of his betrayal when he set you free." said Jakkuna. Lucy's eyes widened after hearing that.

"H-how did you know?" choked out Lucy.

"I have lacrimas all over this base. I can see everything." answered Jakkuna. Lucy began to clench his fists and grit her teeth. After Brass freed her, Lucy couldn't shake this weird feeling she had inside her.

"What'd you do to him?" Lucy growled.

Jakkuna smirked and with a snap of his fingers, a magic circle appeared beside him and Brass suddenly appeared out of it. He appeared to be all battered and beaten and laid lifelessly on the floor beside Jakkuna. Brass was breathing heavily and coughed up some blood.

"What the?! What happened to Brass!?" Zander exclaimed. Lucy's eyes now widen in rage and shock.

"Brass!" shouted Lucy as she unconsciously tried dashing to his side.

"Lucy, don't!" called out Lisanna, but it was too late. Jakkuna suddenly appeared in front of Lucy and she ended up being pushed back by some strong force. Lucy flew back a little before landing on her back on the ground.

"Why you..." growled Lucy as she began getting onto her feet.

"Heh. You should be thanking me. I gave him a less painful punishment then I did with you. Well, only a slightly less one." Jakkuna said. Lucy narrowed her eyes at him and was about to try and attack him, but Zander held her back.

"Let me go! Let me go!" Lucy demanded as she tried to break free.

"Lucy, you can't take him on. He's too strong to fight alone." Zander said.

"I'd listen to the boy if I was you." said Jakkuna. Lucy then stopped struggling and Zander let her go.

"I have more power than you can possible imagine." Jakkuna said as he slowly raised his hand. A small black magic circle appeared in front of his hand and then, Lucy was suddenly slammed into the wall.

"GAH!" Lucy cried out. She fell to her knees, coughing and hacking some blood.

"Lucy!" everyone called out.

"You bastard!" Natsu cursed.

"My magic combines deflection and gravity magic. Just by changing a targets gravity, I can make them feel like they're being hit by over ten tons." said Jakkuna.

"Damn you Jakkuna!" said Zander.

"Now, now boy. I wouldn't talk that way to the one man who has kept you alive for so long." Jakkuna said. Zander gritted his teeth together while clenching his fists.

"Shut the hell up!" Lucy shouted after getting onto her feet.

"Oh? Is there something you want to say, miss Heartfillia?" Jakkuna chuckled. Lucy let out a low growl and swiftly took out one of her daggers.

"Lucy, no! You can't let hi get to you." Zander said getting in her way.

"But, he-" Lucy began to say.

"If she wants to fight me, then she can go right ahead." Jakkuna said. Lucy and Zander glared at Jakkuna. Lucy dashed past Zander and ran towards Jakkuna.

"Lucy!" exclaimed Zander. She tried slashing Jakkuna, but he easily stepped to side.

"Hehe. What a pathetic little girl." said Jakkuna mockingly. Lucy gritted her teeth even more. She then used the dagger to cut across part of her arm. The dagger began to glow and it suddenly became a long sword.

"When did Bunny girl get those?!" asked Gajeel.

"Lucy got them before we all let on the mission." Lisanna answered.

"Stop it Lucy! He's try and kill you!" Zander called out.

Without even acting like she heard him, Lucy charged at Jakkuna again. This time, when she swung her sword at him, it just barely grazed Jakkuna's mask over his cheek. Jakkuna touched the scratch on the mask and he didn't do or say anything.

"Way to go Lucy!" Wendy cheered. But, she then stopped talking after seeing Zander. He was shaking and his eyes were wide in fear.

"Zander?" Erza questioned.

"No...this is bad..." Zander choked out.

"It seems I've been getting a little careless. You may be better than I thought." said Jakkuna while letting out a small laugh. Lucy still didn't let her guard down. Jakkuna slowly began to reach for his mask.

"If I were you, I wouldn't try dodging." mumbled Jakkuna.

Lucy had a puzzled look on her face before looking her shoulder and noticed that Brass was on the ground right behind her. She snapped her around at Jakkuna as he began to pull his mask off. Lucy had a bad feeling in her chest and immediately dashed over to Brass.

"Lucy run!" Zander shouted.

But, it was already too late. Jakkuna just barely removed his mask, only revealing one of his eyes. And in an instant, there was a massive explosion along with a blinding light. Everyone covered their eyes after it happened. Once the smoke cleared and the light died down, they all began to open their eyes. And once they did, all of their faces paled and their eyes shrunk. The entire spot where Lucy and Brass were was gone. They could see outside now and that the building was on a cliff.

"S-such power..." Erza choked. Jakkuna placed his mask completely back on his face.

"Lucy!? What happened to her!?" shouted Natsu.

"Heh, with any luck, the little girl and Brass survived the blast. But, they probably fell into the raging waters below." said Jakkuna.

Everyone's expression became full of anger and hate. Before any of them could even try to attack, they were all pushed down to the ground by Jakkuna's magic and could not get back onto their feet. Multiple servant grunts came in not too long after.

"Take them all to the dungeons." Jakkuna ordered. The grunts all got out whips and began dragging all of them away.

"Jakkuna, you bastard!" yelled Zander. Jakkuna snickered and walked away from the group as they were taken away.
