Chapter 36: Nirvana Unleashed.
Natsu, Happy and Jellal stood, as the Dragon Slayer stood there, watching Jellal who had his eyes shadowed.
"I thought I have taken you down since last time, Jellal." Natsu said, memories flashing before his eyes mentally. As Natsu said his name, Jellal´s eyes widened as he felt his memories dance around from the Tower of Heaven.
He crunched down and held his head with his hands, as Jellal grit his teeth in pain. Natsu then got confused by the Blue Haired Man´s actions. "Oi, what the hell is wrong?!" Natsu said. "What is going on?" Happy said. "To think I did these things... horrorible, terrifying things..." Jellal said, making Natsu and Happy even more confused.
At the same time...

"Ice Make: Sword!" Gray said, making a sword of ice to trying to slash Cobra, but the Red Haired Man easily dodged it. "What the matter? Is this the best you can do?" Cobra mocked with a grin, but Gray contiuned his attacks.
"Ice Make: Lance!" Gray said, creating numerous ice lances and sent them to impale Cobra, who dodged them easily.
Gray tried to make another attack, but then Cubelious then attacked the Black Haired Fairy Tail Mage and Gray managed to dodge it in the last second.
Cobra then ran towards Gray while grinning. "You know, it´s not nice for you to have all the fun. Let me have some fun too." Cobra said, before then his sleeves began to disintegrate and an a Aura of Poison Magic started to appear around him, as it took in the form of black and red smoke.
Scales then started to appear on Cobra arm´s, as they thenturned to claws. Gray´s eyes widened as he saw what happened before him. "Impossible..." Gray said in horror. "You shouldn't get cocky just because you have a Dragon Slayer at your side, Fairy Tail Mage." Cobra said.
Gray simply stood in preperation, and Cobra smirked. "But I am gonna at least tell you my name. My name is Cobra of Oracion Seis, and the one who will kill you." Cobra said, grinning darkly.
Gray simply gathered Ice Magic around himself. "I am Gray Fullbuster of Fairy Tail. Sorry, but you won't kill me here." Gray said, and then Cubelios then came to his Master´s side, as Cobra then jumped onto him, which then Cobra rode with the giant snake towards Gray.
"Don't be arrogant!" Said Cobra, then gathered Poison Magic in his fist.
"Poison Dragon´s Venom Fist!" Cobra said, sending a punch in the shape of a poison beam at Gray, who made a Ice Shield to protect himself from the attack, but Cobra flied then above Gray with Cubelious.
"Useless!" Cobra said, before then sending a barrage of poison spheres at the Ice Mage. "Poison Dragon´s Death Storm!" Cobra said, as the Poison attack went towards Gray.
"Ice Make: Lance!" Gray said, sending the Ice Lances at the Poison Dragon Slayer of Oracion Seis, which took down the Poison Spheres it went towards Cobra and Cubelious. Cobra grinned as he dodged the Ice Lances, before then flying towards Gray, who then made a large ice sword to block the Poison Claw thrusts of Cobra.
Gray then jumped away and then ran towards Cobra to try to slash him, but the grinning Cobra easily dodged swing after swing as Gray in futile tried to hit him.
"Didn't ya listen? I can hear every move you make, no matter what!" Cobra said, before then he coated his fingers with poison.
"Poison Dragon´s Crushing Fang!" Cobra said, delivering the attack. Gray´s eyes widened and then tried to block the attack, but it instead shattered the ice and sent Gray away.
Cobra grinned at the screaming Gray, before he then a large beam of poison in the shape of a snake head towards Gray.
"Poison Dragon´s Fang Thrust!" Cobra said, as the poison beam went towards Gray, who then slashed the snake head in half with a ice sword, but Cobra then appeared and then punched Gray in the stomach with his poison in his hand in a blade shape!
"Poison Dragon´s Death Blade!" Cobra said, as Gray was impaled with by the attack. Grinning deviously, Cobra then let go of Gray were stuttering, and as Gray tried to attack him, Cubelious then came and bit Gray´s arm.

He screamed in pain as Gray then fell onto the ground, as Cobra smirked and then began to leave the scene.
"Heh, a piece of cake. Now back to find that Jellal bastard." Cobra said, before then went on to leave with Cubelious, but stopped once he heard a voice.

"Even if you kill me..." Gray said, as Cobra turned around to see the coughing Gray on the ground. "You won't win... cause we ain't gonna let some scums that are you to succeed..." Gray said, before coughing in pain. Cobra grimached in annoyance. "...when Fairy Tail arrives, they will always win... because our comrades and allies believe in us..." Gray said with a forced grin through pain, which Cobra scoffed and then went to leave the scene.

Gray looked at the sky, as he felt the pain taking over himself, and knew he needed to do something, quick.
At the same time...
Hibiki sought through his Archive Magic while Wendy used her Sky Dragon Slayer Magic to heal Lucy and Yukino, but the Blue Pegasus Mage then noticed what happened to Gray on the screen in front of himself "Oh no." Hibiki said, horrified. "What is it?" Wendy asked concerned. "It seems Gray-kun is in trouble. He has lost to Cobra and is now in Grave Danger. Wendy!" Hibiki said and turned to face Wendy and Carla. The Blue Haired Girl and the White Cate understood immediately.
"Right! Lucy-san, Yukino-san, I think I have healed you two enough." Wendy said. Lucy and Yukino went up and felt all their injuries healed, as they even felt better than before.
"We´re fine, thank you Wendy." Lucy said. "We are glad you were there for us." Yukino said. Wendy smiled before then Hibiki then "Downloaded" the information to Wendy and Carla, until it was complete.
"I have downloaded the location where Gray-kun is to you, Wendy-san and Carla-san." Hibiki said. "Yes, we will go immediatly and heal him." Wendy said, before then Carla used Aera to sprout wings, before then she grabbed Wendy and then flied to the air. "Don´t worry Gray-san, we´re coming!" Wendy thought they soared through the air.
Meanwhile...

Erza, in her Heaven´s Wheel Armor, clashed blade after blade towards Racer, who easily dodged due to his impressive speed.
"Hehe, is that all, Titania?" Racer said in an insulting tone. Erza was simply quiet as she then Re-Quipped into her Frost Empress Armor, freezing the ground Racer stood on.
But Racer simply grinned and then dashed through the air, flying towards Erza at speed. She then changed to her Flight Armor and then dashed towards Racer.
They clashed as Erza went to attack Racer with her swords, while he easily dodged them. He then went to kick in front of Erza, which he then kicked her at rapid speed. "Motorcium Kick!" Racer said, before then kicking Erza away with one final kick.
Wasting no seconds, Racer dashed again, this time appearing at random locations, one at a time, which he left after images behind him.
Erza then Re-Quipped into her Flame Empress Armor, which she then unleashed a powerful sphere of flames around herself, which then exploded into a blazing inferno.
"Flame Sphere Blast!" Erza said, as the flames where spread and died down as Erza calmly stood on the ground, before then Racer appeared behind her, who was completely unscratched.
"You seem to never learn." Racer said, before then trying to kick her, but Erza simply dodged and sent a ray of flames at the blonde Oracion Seis Mage.
But Racer easily dodged it and went dashed towards Erza like a rocket, fist aiming at her. Erza grit her teeth as the attack struck her fast, making her cough up blood and then sent her a bit away.
Before Erza was able to react, Racer then took out a knife and then began to rush towards her, by slashing repeatedly. "Ferrum!" Racer said, as then delivered a kicked to Erza, sending her to a tree.
Erza quickly got up, holding her swords tightly. "I don't understand. Something strange is going here." Erza thought, as she blocked attack after attack with her swords as Racer sent kick after kick.
Erza then jumped away, before then she Re-Quipped into her regular Heart CruzArmor. "It must be another way than making himself faster than his own speed." Erza thought, but then realized something. "What if it is..." Erza thought and then Re-Quipped into her Heaven´s Wheel Armor.
Racer simply "tsched" in annoyance. "This again. You never learn, Titania!" Racer said, dashing right towards Erza. The Redheaded Knight was simply calm, but focused as she then sent her swords towards Racer, who easily dodged.
Erza simply watched him, as she then dashed towards Racer "I see, so that is what you use." Erza thought, before she then glowed into a different Armor.
"Re-Quip: Sand Empress Armor!" Erza said, as she now was in a different armor.
The Sand Empress Armor was a white dress with golden lining, similar to an Arabian Dress. On her chest, legs and arms are golden armor in with red lining, as well her hair was in a ponytail. She gained detachable white sleeves with gold lining and a necklace of gold around her neck. The lower dress reaching her ankles, had a pair of white shorts, had her stomach exposed and white loincloth.
Erza then stabbed the ground as then sand were summoned in a sand around herself. "Sand Mirage!" Erza said, as the sand then spread and covered the area.
"Dammit, another trick?" Racer before then a blast of Sand Magic came, which he then dodged. He then dashed towards the direction where the Sand Blast Came, but more blasts came at random directions as Racer kicked them off.
"Come and face, coward!" Racer said. "Ironic that a Dark Mage uses that insult." Erza´s voice was heard. Racer then began to spin around as he then unleashed a powerful kick of incredible speed, which were sent in the shape of a tornado.
"Tornado Spinner!" Racer said, as the tornado where blasting the sand away, which dispersed and showed Erza. "You´re mine!" Racer said, before then kicking and sending Erza to the ground. Once she had landed on the ground, he then went towards her, taking out his knife.
"This is the end, Titania. You better prepare some last words." Racer said, walking closer and closer to Erza, who then smirked and then.
"Harenea Rain." Erza said, as then suddenly, spears and blades of sand came down and then stabbed Racer!
"What the heck...?!" Racer said, as blood came from his month, as he struggled to dodge, but the spears implanted onto him made him unable to move.
"The Magic you use is Slow Magic, a Magic that allows you to slow down things around you. I noticed that you slowed down your targets, but due to looking at different paces when with living beings and non-living tools." Erza said, as then the rest of the Sand Spears were crashing down onto Racer, making him groan in pain. "This is the end, and the battle have been decided." Erza said.
(End Play Bleach ost here)
But Racer grinned, before he opened his jacket, to reveal a Magic Bomb, making Erza widen her eyes in horror.
"If I don't win, then you wont either! Let´s go to hell together, Titania!" Racer said, before he then activated the Magic Bomb.
"I´m sorry. Please forgive, Master Brain!" Racer said, as then a bright light where enveloped and then covered the area they were in.
A large sphere of light were erupted, which were grown big enough to be seen from miles.
As it died down, it had created a large crater, big enough to fit a building in, and Racer laid on the ground, stomach first, his clothes completely ruined, glasses shattered and bruises everywhere.
Close to him, a large Sphere of sand stood, as it then slowly broke down, and then revealed Erza, who were panting in her Sand Empress Armor.
"Dammit, I was gladly I was able to use my Sand Sphere to protect myself from the Blast." Erza thought, before she then looked at the unconcious Racer. She then looked at the pillar of light, which were erupted in the air.
"I better go there. Who knows what might happen next." Erza thought, before she ran towards the light, not knowing what lied ahead of her.
At the same time, at Ur vs Brain...
(Play Bleach ost Clavar La Espada here)
Brain twitched his eye as he felt another Tattoo on his face disintegrate. "Dammit, not another one!" Brain thought in annoyance as he then noticed Ur sent another Ice Spell at him.
"Ice Make: Frost Cannon!" Ur said, sending several sharp ice spikes at Brain, who then countered it with an attack on his own.
"Dark Serpent!" Brain said, sending a blast in the shape of a Serpent´s head at Ur, which collided and dissolved each other.
Before Ur was able to make her next move, Brain then sent his next attack.
"Dark Storm!" Brain said, sending mulitple tendrils of green energy at Ur from his staff, who then created a ice sword to slash them all down, disintegrating them. Ur then wasted no time as she prepared her next attack.
"Ice Make: Ice Typhoons!" Ur said and sent tornados of ice shards at Brain, who sent an attack as well.
"Dark Barrage!" Brain said, summoning a tall wall of darkness to protect himself from the ice tornados, which then shattered to pieces.
Ur then jumped Brain and then sent swarm of ice arrows at the Oracion Seis Leader.
"Ice make: Arrows!" Ur said, sending the Ice Arrows at Brain, who annihilated them with a darkness blast. Brain then made a long, tendril-like limb come out of the mouth of the skull on his staff, which he then used it similar to a whip.
Ur created a sword of ice which she used it to counter and strike the whip.

"That face, that voice, that power..." Brain thought, before then realizing something. "There is no longer any doubt." Brain thought, as he finally realized who he was fighting against, who was a woman he met in the past.
As his eyes were shadowed, he muttered a word Ur could never forget.
(Play Bleach ost Enemy Unseen Here)
"Ultear." Brain said, which made Ur´s eyes widen, became distracted which he took the oppurtunity to hit Ur with his darkness whip. She was struck on the stomach, before then send to the ground.
The Whip of the Darkness then went inside the mouth of the skull, as Brain then walked towards Ur.
Ur slowly went up, before she then went to speak. "Ultear... how do you know that name..." Ur said, as she slowly got up. "It´s simply, cause many years ago, you gave her to me, remember?" Brain said darkly.
Memories began to flash inside her mind, as she remembered the day her daughter Ultear became incredibly sick as Ultear carried too much Magic Power, which led to her take her to the Bureau of Magical Deveolpment.
"Ha, the good old days, I remember that day when you brought that girl to me, as you hoped me and my men to cure her. As well the day I told you that your daughter had died." Brain said, as he said the last sentence in a darker tone.
"You´re lying! Natsu told me that she was still alive, as he had met her!" Ur said, remembering back when she told Natsu of her story.
Brain simply smirked. "Well, I see no longer a point of lying anymore. I hate to agree with that worthless Void Knight, but you are right, she is alive, despite after all that." Brain said.
"What did you do, weren't you curing her?" Ur said, as she began to sweat. "Well yes, but not in the way you thought." Brain said, took and deep breath and then. "We tortured her." Brain said, as Ur´s eyes widened in terror.
"Once you turned your back, we began to experiment on her, day after day, hour after hour, minute after minute. Even now I can hear her screams go through my head, which I will always love to hear." Brain said.
"SO, YOU LIED TO ME BACK THEN?!" Ur screamed, recalling the day Brain had told her that Ultear had "died."
"Yes, as I saw potential within her, I didn't want to go to waste. But that's not all. One day, she managed to escape, but later returned as he had seen you." Brain said.
"She... saw me?" Ur said, unable to think that her daughter has there and even saw her. "Yes, you and your new children, the ones called Gray and Lyon. Once she had returned, she had changed, her fear and pain gone, and replaced with a thrist driven by grudge and revenge against you." Brain said.

(Play Bleach ost Never Meant to Belong here)
"You... cannot mean it." Ur said, as she fell on her knees and tears began to come from her eyes. "That´s right. She said that she believed you had replaced them with the boys, forgotten about you, and didn't even wanna think about you. She truly didn't want to see as her mother." Brain said.
Ur´s eyes were streaming with tears, while she gripped tightly on the grass. She remembered the day when Gray, who was just a kid, stumbled onto her when she was in her daughter´s room, where she had held one of her daughter's belonging. As the young boy where wondering, Ur told her it was nothing to be worry about, but the young Gray knew something was not right.
Ur felt her tears fell on the ground, as she refused to believe in the words of Brain.
"And what´s more, one day, her power became great enough to have the entire building blown up. She left, but this time, she didn't come back. I let her go, seeing her powers far too great for me. So I presented her as a gift for Hades, Grimoire Heart's Master. I heard she is has become quite a high-ranking member of that Dark Guild." Brain said, as he then was in front of the heartbroken Ur.
"She's still driven by the grudge against you, she truly wants to see you die." Brain said, then pointed his skull staff in front of Ur´s face, charging it with Darkness Magic. "But too bad she won't be able to have her revenge now that I have killed you." Brain said, but before he fired the blast, Ur raised a powerful aura of Ice Magic, forcing Brain to jump away on instict.
"You... will... pay..." Ur said, as rage were rising in her voice and tone. "YOU WILL PAY!" Ur screamed at the top of her lungs, creating an ice sword in the shape of a saw, which she then began to run towards him, preparing to strike him.

"You are a fool. You don't anyone left to be your reason to be alive! There is no reason for you not to die, as all you will do is meaningless!" Brain said, sending blasts of Darkness at Ur. "You are wrong! I do have reasons, many reasons than you can think off to be alive! Friends, lover, family, are the reasons I am here, and I gotten to know that Ultear is alive, which is why I am standing and fighting!" Ur said with determination, as she then prepared to strike Brain down.
(End Bleach ost here)
"Such foolishness." Brain said, before then raising his staff in the hair, he then slammed the tip of it on the ground, waves of darkness.
"Abyss Eruption! Brain said, as the ground eventually fell to pieces as Ur fell down.
"BRAIN!" Ur screamed while falling down the pit, while Brain smiled.
He then began to walk away, as he went towards the location where he searched for was. "Nirvana will soon be mine, and nothing will stop me." Brain thought determined. "But first!" Brain thought, then placing his index and middle fingers on his forehead, using his Telepathy. "Midnight! Me, your leader, Brain, commands you to wake up! Two of our comrades, Angel and Racer have been taken down! Do you understand?!" Brain ordered through his Telepathy.
At the same time, Midnight, who were on his Flying Carbet while his eyes were still closed, but as he had heard Brain, he had woken up as he opened his red eyes.
Midnight rose up as he then began to walk, as his mission by his Master had been ordered. "Dont worry, as by dawn, every enemy will be at the other side of the Hell´s Gate." Midnight darkly said.
At the same time...
Natsu and Happy stood on their spots as they watched Jellal who, clutched his head.
"Dammit, the memories..." Jellal groaned, his hands on his head. "DON'T FREAKING BEHAVE LIKE YOU ARE INNOCENT!" Natsu said angrily, while Jellal´s eyes were shadowed.
"I see. So, these are the things I have done." Jellal said as he got up. "I think I begin to understand." Jellal said, as he had a depressed look on his face. Natsu was confused before he and Happy then realized something. "Could it be that...?" Happy said.
"... you got amnesia after I took you down?" Natsu said, as he remembered back then he defeated Jellal. "It seems so. As far, I only remember my name, but events after event pops up randomly in my head, but they are still unclear." Jellal said.
Before their conversation were able to continued, suddenly a beam of poison came at Natsu and Happy, who dodged before it touched it. Natsu dodged the blast by jumping away, while Happy flied into the air, as they then looked who sent the beam.
"Well, well, well. Void Knight, should have expected you to come here." Cobra said, Cubelious at his side. "You´re that Snake Guy!" Happy said while Natsu grit his teeth in rage, remembering the one who almost caused Erza to die and lose her arm. "If you think I am gonna go easy on you, you can forget it!" Natsu said, rage in his voice.
Cobra then saw Jellal, who were in front of the pillar of light and darkness.
"To think you unlocked Nirvana for us. That was very generous of you." Cobra said, smirking. "Sorry to disappoint you, but it seems it won´t happen." Jellal said.
"Huh?" Cobra said in confusion, which Natsu and Happy was confused as well.
Jellal then revealed a Blue Glowing Magic Seal on his chest, as a similar, larger on was on the pillar of Light and Darkness behind him.
"The Square of Self-Destruction. A Spell that causes anything on the object to explode in powerful destruction. I placed it on Nirvana. I heard a voice, which was "to find where Nirvana was." Which is why I placed this Spell, to make sure that no one will use this dangerous Magic." Jellal said.
Cobra grit his teeth and rushed towards the where Jellal planted the Spell on. He desperately tried to unlock it, but no avail.
"It´s no use. The only way to deactivate it, is a cancelling Code, which only I know of, which I won't tell you." Jellal said and then looked at Natsu.
"Scarlet, what a beautiful name." Jellal said, eyes shadowed which made Natsu´s and Happy´s eyes widened. "To think I was low enough to harm someone with such a beautiful name." Jellal said, as tears began to come from his eyes. "Natsu, do me a favor. In fact, a favor for Erza and everyone I have hurt. Kill me. If you do, my sins will be redeemed." Jellal said, as he fall on his knees.
Natsu and Happy simply looked at Jellal, eyes filled with Horror.
Meanwhile...
"You´re satisfied, Princess?" Virgo said, as the Maid Celestial Spirit where summoned by Lucy to bring her and Yukino new clothes, since they were ruined in their battle against Sorano.
Lucy wore now a sleeveless, blue shirt with gold trimmings that exposed her back, had a white bow-tie on the lower back, barely reached her mid-tight and had a frilly end, and a pair of blue, thigh-length heels with filly tops. She had her hair in a pair of pigtails. On her wrists, she had a pair of blue armbands with white frills.
Yukino wore a blue shirt with golden lining, a short, white skirt, blue, heeled boots which had white frills on the top, and on her collar a white bowtie with a gold key-shaped emblem, which the crest was in the shape of a heart with a green jewel on the crest. Like Lucy, she had a pair of blue armbands with white frills on her wrists.
"This will be good! Thank you Virgo!" Lucy said with a smile. "Anything for you, Princess." Virgo said, before she then returned to the Spirit World.
"Lucy-sama, what do you think will happen?" Yukino asked, as Lucy looked into the pillar of Light and Darkness. "Whatever it is, it cannot be something good. We need to do something, and that is fast." Lucy said.
Then, Erza came running out of the woods, as she stumbled across Lucy, Yukino and Hibiki. "ERZA?!" Lucy said as she and the others noticed them. "Lucy, Yukino, Hibiki! I am glad you are alright." Erza said as she entered the scene.
"Well, we did managed to fight one of them, Angel, but after some hard time and beatdown, we managed to take them down." Lucy said. "I see. I too managed to fight an Oracion Seis Member, Racer, and eventually I took him down as well." Erza explained.
"Well, we are on good terms here, but we must make sure not to let it makes let it us celebrate to early." Hibiki said, as the others understood. "But where is Natsu, Gray, Wendy and the others?" Erza asked. "Wendy-san and Carla-san went to find and heal Gray-kun, who fought Cobra, but where defeated by him, as I sent them to Gray-kun to heal him. Natsu-kun, Ur-san and Happy-kun went towards the pillar." Hibiki said. "So that is Nirvana?" Erza said, as she looked at the pillar. "Yeah, as well it has seemed to spread it´s effects." Hibiki said. "Effects?" Lucy said. "Yeah, the power of Nirvana is to switch between Light and Darkness, Good and Evil. In other words, those with good heart, but with negative emotions, are turned evil, so we need to be careful." Hibiki said, as Lucy and Yukino were horrofied.
"I see." Erza said, still looking at the pillar. "As For Eve and Ren, they are one their way here, as they had just finished fighting some Dark Mages working under the Oracion Seis." Hibiki said as he explained the current situation.
"But I do know that Natsu will take them down." Lucy said, as she believed in her Mate. "Yeah." Erza said, as then was quiet for a moment, seemingly thinking about something, before she then eventually broke the silence.
"Lucy, I need to tell you something." Erza said, eyes shadowed. "Huh?" Lucy said. "Two years ago, when Natsu was training with Happy, he encountered a Dark Mage named Envy, a High Ranking Member of the Dark Guild Diabolus." Erza said.
Lucy´s eyes were widened as she word "Diabolus." She then began to shake with horror. "You mean one of the Four Main Pillars of the Balam Alliance, like the enemy we are fighting now?" Lucy said, as Hibiki, who heard, were horrofied beyond.
"Yeah, and by pure luck, Natsu managed to take him down, but according to him, another High Ranking Member named Sloth came and left with Envy." Erza said. "Natsu explained this to us back in the Guild before you came." Erza said, recalling the event where Makarov had gathered the Fairy Tail members for their decleration.
"But why didn't he tell me?!" Lucy said. "Because as his Mate, he didn't want you to be worried, but since things are more dangerous than we expected, it is better if I told you." Erza said.
"Lucy-sama. Natsu-sama is one who have taken down many enemies, and I known he will take them this enemy for sure." Yukino explained. Lucy smiled, turning around to her Fellow Celestial Spirit Mage. "Yeah, I am sure he will." Lucy said.
"But for now, I shall be going to where Natsu and the others went." Erza said, who then Re-Quipped into her Black Wing Armor and then Flied to the air, towards the Pillar.
"Erza, wait!" Hibiki said, as he forgot to mention Jellal. "Hibiki! Me and Yukino are going after her!" Lucy said, as Hibiki understood, then Lucy and Yukino went towards the direction Erza went.
"Erza, if you meet Jellal, I hope for your safety!" Lucy thought while she and Yukino ran.
At the same time...
Wendy, who was carried by Carla, flied through the sky, as Wendy suddenly noticed Gray on the ground. "Carla! Dive down, I see Gray-san!" Wendy said, as the White Cat then flied down towards where Gray was.
On ground, Wendy sprinted towards the injured Fairy Tail Mage, who were panting in pain. She saw the poison marks being spread on his chest. "This is serious! I need to cure him now!" Wendy said, as she then used her Sky Dragon Slayer Magic on Gray. Time went pass, and eventually, Gray´s injuries, including his poisoning, where healed.
Gray slowly got up as he rubbed his where his injuries was, and then looked at Wendy. "Thanks, I really needed that." Gray said before he got up. "Don't get hasty. Wendy´s Magic might be powerful, but we don't now what damage it will be next time." Carla said, hands crossed.
"Don't worry..." Gray said as he then faced the duo of Cait Shelter Mages. "...cause there won't be a next time. Cause ever since I joined Fairy Tail, I have never lost a fight twice." Gray said, fist pumped on his black Fairy Tail Mark.
"You better not get so full of yourself." Carla said. Gray simply turned around and walked. "No problem. I have examined my previous mistake, and have learned it." Gray said, still walking.
"But I never thought I would be using "it" here." Gray thought, as Wendy and Carla followed her. "Gray-san, wait!" Wendy ran after him. "Good grief." Carla sighed while flying in the air.
Meanwhile...
Lyon, Jura and Sherry stood on their ground, as they witnessed Hoteye, who were clutching his face with his hands. Earlier on, when Nirvana had been activated, Hoteye then felt himself changing, as he stopped fighting and began to groan as if he was becoming insane.
"What is going on, Jura-san?" Lyon said as he coldly sweated. "I don't know, but I probably has something to do with Nirvana, so be on your guard." Jura warned his fellow Lamia Scale Members.
Hoteye then slwoly let go of his hand and then started to show his face. Jura, Lyon and Sherry then prepared for what was gonna happen next, but what came something they didn't see coming at all.
"Who needs money when you have love...?" Hoteye said, as his expression was happy (albeit very creepy) way.
Lyon, Jura and Sherry had their faces in a deadpanned, facefault in total comedy style as their colours literally dropped of them.
"What the hell just happened...?" Sherry said, dead panned. "Either it is a side effect of Nirvana, or he is trying on a trick on us..." Lyon said, sweat dropping.
At another place...
Lucy and Yukino were running across the forest, as they eventually came a across the hole where Brain had made earlier.
"What happened here?!" Lucy said as she and Yukino noticed the hole, before they then saw a bruised Ur on the bottom of the hole.
"UR!" Both Lucy and Yukino screamed before then running towards Ur, as they helped her up.
"Ur, are you alright?!" Lucy asked with concerned as Ur brusied herself off, while her eyes were shadowed. "I met up with Brain, fought him and lost." Ur said, making Lucy and Yukino horrified, as well seemingly Ur saying it in such a short and quick session.
But Ur turned around with a serious face, as she was seemingly filled with determination. "I have made a mistake, which I will make sure to learn of. Don't worry, everything will be fine." Ur said.
Lucy and Yukino were worried, as Ur, a powerful Ice Molding Mage not only was defeated by Brain, but also seemed as if Ur was hiding something.
But due to the situation, both the Fairy Tail Girls decided to be quiet, as then Lucy went to speak.
"Ur, allow me to bring some new clothes for you." Lucy said, as she noticed her battered state. Ur didn't see to argue as she felt her fellow Fairy Tail Mages wanted to be kind to her.
Once Virgo was summoned, she was ordered to bring new clothes for Ur, which the Maid Spirit directly did and once it was done, she went back for her world.
Ur wore now a pair of white shorts, a pair of black, mid-thigh length, heeled boots, a white tank top with gold lining which took the shape of a sun with it´s rays going inwards, a white jacket with fur on the collar, sleeves and edges, ´with gold lining across it and a black belt with a silver buckle in the shape of a snowflake.
"Why thank you, this clothing isn't bad." Ur said, which Lucy smiled. "Don't want to cut off this moment, but I think we should be going." Yukino said, as Lucy and Ur agreed. They immediately sprinted towards the direction where Jellal and Brain went.
"Brain, next time I won't be go easy as before!" Ur thought with determination while running.
At the same time...
While Natsu and Happy looked down at Jellal, who was on his knees, Cobra tried desperately to prevent to stop Nirvana exploding, which were in vain.
And then, Brain entered the scene, as the others noticed him.
"You´re Brain!" Happy shouted. "Don't worry, I´ll handle him!" Natsu said, before a blast of Darkness were sent under Happy and Natsu, which then arms of darkness came and held them captured.
As Natsu and Happy struggled, Brain went towards Cobra. "What is the matter, Cobra?" Asked Brain. "Dammit, it´s that Jellal Bastard! He planted an Exploding Spell to have Nirvana Blown to bits!" Cobra said in frustration. Brain then looked up at the Magic Seal Jellal placed, before then he smiled, eyes shadowed.
Natsu and Happy were eventually set free as Natsu managed to eat the darkness.
"Ah, that´s better." Natsu said, before then standing in a fighting pose towards Brain, who simply sighed. "Damn, Abyss Dragon Slayer." Brain sighed, before then turning to Jellal, who were still on his knees on "Jellal, to think we would cross our paths here." Brain said. "You know Jellal?" Natsu asked, eyebrow raised.
"Of course, I do. In the past, I taught Jellal some Spells and Magics for him, including this one, The Square of Self-Destruction." Brain said, going towards Nirvana.
"I worked at the Bureau of Magical Deveolpment. I know every base of my creations." Brain said, as he touched the Magic Seal Jellal placed, which then began to disappear, making Natsu, Happy and Jellal have their eyes widen in horror.
"Since I am this Spell´s creator, even without the Cancelling Code, I can easily dispel this without problem." Brain said, as then the ground began to shake and Nirvana began to shake.
Brain grinned as he then spread out his arms.
"This is it. The Magic that is able to switch Light and Darkness, the Ancient Magic Weapon, Nirvana!" Brain said, before then laughing maniacally.
End of chapter 36.
And this marks the end of the first chapter of 2019! I hope you enjoyed this and if you did, please review, favorite and follow! i would like to thank my friend altajir95 for beta reading, as well giving me ideas and helping me with my stories, including the attack name "Poison Dragon Venom Fist" for Cobra for, which I am grateful of. :)
In this chapter, we witnessed Gray vs Cobra, Erza vs Racer and Ur vs Brain. Erza won against her fight, which didn't go well for Ur and Gray, but don't worry, I do have a lot of plans for the fights of this arc.
I also had Gray lost his fight since Erza were cured by having the Mate Mark, I wanted to have Wendy not useless, as she healed Gray with her Magic.
But i also took the moment to have Yukino wear her Celestial Spirit Garb she wore at the end of the Eclipse Celestial Spirit Arc if you didn't notice. Since Lucy wore her same Celestial Spirit Clothing, I decided to do this as well. I also took the opportunity to have Ur change clothing as well.
But here are some meainings for the attacks in this chapter so that you know.
"Ferrum" is the Latin word for "Blade"
"Motorcium" is the Latin word for "Motor".
"Haranea" is the Latin word for "Sand."
I also took the oppurinity to have Erza use her Sand Empress Armor, the one she first used in my other Fairy Tail fanfiction "Inner Power," which I shall update next.
But for the announcement, I will reveal I will make a poll if Rustyrose shall die in the Tenruo Island Arc of the Natsu of the Darkness story or not. Do not rush, there is no time limit yet so take your time.
But I this is all for now, and see you all later! Let´s hope 2019 will be a good year for my stories and your stories.
