CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE: CELESTIAL SKIRMISH

Nirvana's activation causes Sherry to fall into the darkness and attack Gray while Hoteye joins the Allied Forces in their quest to stop Oracion Seis.

Natsu is heading towards Nirvana with hopes of finding Jellal. "I ain't gonna let you near Erza!" He stops running when he realizes something. "This smell..." He slides down the hill to find Aira unconscious in the water. "I knew it! Aira!" He walks through the water. "What the hell are you doing here?! You're supposed to be resting!" He doesn't get a response from him. "Hey!" He looks back at the black light then at Aira. "Damn it... I'm in a hurry here! Wake up, idiot!" Aira stands on his own. "Aira..." Natsu's smile disappears when he notices Aira glaring at him with an evil expression. "Aira?"

Aira pulls a rope to reveal a trap. Instantaneously, a raft springs from under them. "On a raft?!" Natsu screamed. It causes Natsu's motion sickness to take effect.

"Looks like you fell for it, Natsu. Your weak point really is "transportation." Aira said. "So how do you like the feeling of riding a raft bobbing up and down?"

"You're... not..." Natsu grunted.

"Shut up! Hurry and kick the bucket, you slanty-eyed, seasick bastard! Or something like that..." Aira's foot squishes Natsu's head. "The usual battle between us two..." He uses his Magic to create a water sword. "...ends today." He evilly chuckles at Natsu. He is about to attack Natsu, but something breaks through his sword. "Who's there?!" He shoots water arrows from his hand, but the arrows from the other end go through them.

"What are you doing, Aira?!" Lucy asked with Sagittarius summoned by her side.

"It's us!" Happy yelled.

"As it were, moshimoshi!" Sagittarius said.

"L-Lucy..." Natsu hurled, happy to see Lucy and the others.

"Would you try and refrain from hurling after saying my name?!" Lucy yelled.

"Moshimoshi!" Sagittarius commented.

"Anyway, that's horrible! You're going to far, Aira! Unless he stole your fish or something, then it's okay!" Happy yelled.

"Even then, I don't think so." Lucy added.

"Shut up, jerks. You're annoying." Aira coldly said, glaring at them. "I'll get you after I finish this guy off, so don't get in my way!"

"W-What's this?! Could Aira have fallen into the darkness?!" Lucy questioned.

"It's..." Natsu grunted. "...swaying... swaying..."

"It's stopped, so get it together already!" Lucy shouted.

"Natsu, I'm coming to save you!" Happy flies to him, but gets attack by Aira's Magic.

"He-cat!" Carla called out.

"Happy, what are you doing?!" Lucy yelled.

"Happy can fly in the sky. He can carry one person. He has no offensive abilities. Information gathering complete." Aira muttered.

"What are you saying, Aira?! Wake up, already!" Lucy exclaimed.

"Is that how you become if you fall into the darkness from Nirvana's influence?" Hibiki wondered out loud.

"Lucy as seen by Aira: A newcomer to the guild. Looks are very much to his liking. Somewhat interested in her." Aira informed.

"W-What the heck?!" Lucy yelled as her heart pounds rapidly.

"More naive at first glance. A Celestial Spirit Wizard." Aira said. "Spirits, eh?" He takes position to attack. "Interesting!" Aira attacks Lucy, but Hibiki uses his Magic to shield her.

"This magic... That's not Aira... He sees his comrades as his family. He wouldn't put them in harm's way because he would never forgive himself if he did." Cain thinks to himself.

"No... You aren't Aira-kun." Hibiki claimed. "Who are you?"

"Not Aira?" Lucy repeated.

"Hibiki as seen by Aira: A member of Blue Pegasus. Handsome. Doesn't know the details. Lack of information, huh?" Aira mumbled.

"He is acting strange, that's true. Is this the effect of Nirvana?" Carla asked.

"No... I know Aira better than anyone. This isn't him." Cain replied.

"That's right... The people who fall into the darkness are ones with feelings in the gap between good and evil... Aira isn't the one to be moved so much by those kind of feelings!" Lucy stated. "Who are you?" Aira chuckles, changing his form into Lucy. "M-Me?!"

"Are you dumb? Even if you transform into Lucy-san, you aren't going to fool us." Hibiki informed.

"I wonder about that. Men like you have a weak spot for women, yes?" The fake Lucy pulls up her top, revealing her breasts which greatly shocks Hibiki and Sagittarius.

"Men..." Carla mumbled.

"B-Bobbing..." Natsu stuttered.

"Indeed!" Hibiki and Sagittarius agreed.

"Cut it out with the boob bobbing ogling!" Lucy kicked them away.

"Honestly! What an uncouth wizard you are!" Carla sweat dropped.

"It's not me! It's that one! Although it's me! Argh, I don't know anymore!" Lucy complained.

The being then manipulates Sagittarius into attacking Hibiki, and Lucy closes his gate in order to stop the being from manipulating him. However, Sagittarius is called back by the imitation of Lucy, who commands him to attack Carla, who was flying away to safety with Wendy.

Lucy and her companions encounter the Celestial Spirit, Gemini, and it's owner, Angel. With the rest of them incapacitated, Lucy fights the Celestial Spirit Mage in a battle of Celestial Spirits. After an intense battle between Celestial Spirits, Lucy successfully defeats Angel.

Meanwhile, Natsu's raft gets swept away by the current. Lucy tries to save Natsu, but ends up going in the rapids and falling off a waterfall.

At another location, one of the marks on Brain's face disappears, troubled by Angels' defeat, he vows to crush the light. However, Angel says that she's still alive.

Erza continues to find Jellal. Flashbacks of him run through her head. She thinks to herself on how she should face him.

Hoteye explains the magic of Nirvana to Jura. Hoteye explains that all the bad things he had done in the past were all for the sake of finding his little brother, but Jura helped him see the light.

After defeating Eve, Midnight finds Ren somewhere else in the Worth Woodsea. Ren is already beaten up and wonders why none of his magic is hitting Midnight. He casts Aerial Shot but it misses. Without moving an inch, Midnight sends his red waves towards Ren, causing his face to get slashed across.

As Ren falls, Midnight notes that makes two, as he complains that the hunt is very dull and asks if there's no one stronger.

Wendy questions herself if she shouldn't have come and Carla warns her that those negative feelings will get her heart stolen by the darkness. Wendy then starts to tell Carla about what happened between her and Jellal seven years ago.

Erza ends up finding Jellal and realizes that Jellal has lost all his memories except for the word "Erza." Erza cries, feeling bad for Jellal.

"What was that for, Aira?!" Happy shrieked, recovering from the attack.

"Carla, Cain, stand back! Leave everything to me! I'll save Natsu... again!" Aira exclaimed, already getting angry that he has to keep saving his frenemy. He then noticed that everyone was gone with the expection of Hibiki. "Wait, no one's here... What the hell happened?"

Erza walked towards him, but Jellal panicks and tells her to stay back by attacking her with his magic. In anger, Erza yells all his faults at him: how he desecrated the dead, hurt his friends, killed Simon and destroyed the Magic Council. Jellal stared at her in shock, unable to believe everything that he had done. Erza wondered if this was the real Jellal.

A/N: Damn, I haven't updated this since January. But I'm back! My account isn't very active, since I write more on Wattpad and Quotev now. But I'll try my best to keep this account active!
