Recap: {10,000Js is in here.} Harry nodded his head and grabbed the bag. He placed it in his pocket for safe keeping before pulling his invisibility cloak over himself again, but not completely covering.
"Let's go; we need to find Lucy and Juvia again as well as the others," said Harry calmly, but with a hint of urgency.
Fawkes bobbed his head, and hopped onto his shoulder. Harry covered them both up in his cloak and started walking down the way the two girls went.
Harry didn't find the girls, but he did find Natsu getting eaten by some weird owl/human hybrid…thing. His jaw found itself on the floor at the sight before him. Even Fawkes' eyes were threatening to pop out.
They were able to snap out of their shock when Natsu was fully eaten, and the owl-guy can now breathe fire. What also helped snap Harry and Fawkes out of it was Gray creating some ice out of nowhere and attacking the hybrid. Now that Harry wasn't so shocked, he noticed the man with a metal jaw. Harry thought about his name for a moment; he believes it was Simon.
{What am I looking at?} Fawkes asked, still confused about the owl thing, that is now spitting fire everywhere. Fawkes narrows his eyes at this. {Phoenixes are the only bird that should be allowed to breathe fire.}
Harry turned to him. {Why's that?}
{Unlike that thing up there, that can't even fly on its own, phoenixes can heal the burns they inflict on someone,} explained Fawkes.
{True…but I don't think this guy is looking to heal his enemy once he's done with burning them,} said Harry, looking unimpressed at Fawkes' reasoning.
{This is why there shouldn't be any more birds that breathe fire! They wouldn't want to heal them in the first place, but a phoenix would.}
Harry can kind of see where his familiar is coming from, but he just had to bring something else up. {What about fire dragons?}
{A dragon is not a bird. They are reptiles that can fly and breathe fire, but they are not birds,} Fawkes replied.
{Do you pride yourself for being a phoenix, and feel insulted when you see some other bird that didn't have the power to breathe fire before, do so?} Harry asked.
Fawkes nodded, {Yes I do. Do you have a problem with that?}
Harry shook his head quickly. {Nope, I don't have any problem! You are the best phoenix in the world,} he said, trying to stroke Fawkes' ego. It seemed to have worked, for the phoenix puffed up his chest feathers in pride.
Harry returned his attention back to the fight, and lifted up his wand when he saw that Gray couldn't really get a hit on the weird guy. "Wingardium Leviosa," muttered Harry under his breath. He cast the spell at the jet packs on the owl-man's back, making him stop in place.
"Hoot, what is going on?" the owl exclaimed in shock and fright.
Gray took this chance to make a hammer out of ice, and bury it into the thing's gut. This made the hybrid slam into a wall, and cough Natsu back up. Harry can see that the were-owl has been defeated, so he cast the Vinctum spell on him, and then send Fawkes to bring him to the authorities. He didn't bother waiting, just turned around a start making his way down the hall. He knows that Natsu most likely would have told Gray and Simon about the possible upcoming blast.
Harry is walking down the hall in search of either Erza or even Jellal. He's sure that the others will tell Lucy and Juvia when they find them about the warning. He thought back to the fight with the were-owl, remembering seeing Happy there. So at least Natsu found him.
Harry thought back to probably finding Jellal just so he could hex him to the other side of this awful tower, but he stopped at that thought. If he wasn't able to beat Jose, then how was he going to beat Jellal when the enemy keeps getting stronger each time they show up? Eisenwald was easy, Lullaby was a little harder to beat, Leon kicked Gray's butt like it was nothing the first time around, Deliora was already dead so he doesn't count, and Jose wiped the floor with all of them. So, Jellal will most likely be making beating them up look like a walk in the park.
Harry just thought of something. What if he learned how to fight with a sword? Doing wandless magic took a lot out of him, and he can hardly defend himself if the enemy is up close. He needs a way to fight in close proximity with the enemy so he doesn't have a repeat of what happened when fighting Jose. He wonders who would be willing to teach him how to sword fight. Erza is the first person that comes to mind, but the thought made him have a shiver go down his spin.
Natsu told him one time just how strict Erza can be when teaching. She taught him how to read and write, but she was like a slave driver when doing so. Does Harry want her to train him? He sighs in defeat, he can't think of anyone else that would be willing to teach him or anyone that is just as good at sword play as Erza.
Harry paused in his steps. 'Why swordsmanship?' he thought. He crossed his arms and closed his eyes so he could muse deeply. The more he thought about wielding a blade, the more a memory became clear to him. He held a sword that had rubies embedded in the hilt and guard. There was a name carved into the base of the blade: Godric Gryffindor. Harry used this blade to kill a giant snake by thrusting it through the roof of its mouth.
That is all he can remember from that, besides the phantom pain he feels in his right arm where he found a scar. So he opened his eyes to look down at himself and sighed in dismay. He would need to build up his muscles if he wants to learn; he is a little on the small side.
Harry shook his head; he'll worry about all this later. He looked straight back up so he could continue forward, but before he could take a step he noticed someone in front of him with an object he was just thinking about: a sword.
'Oh, this isn't going to end well if she gets too close,' Harry thought to himself, seeing his point being proved right. He needs to get something to help him fight close up. 'I can't let her get too close to me, or I'm done for.'
The woman in front of him already has her sword drawn, but a second later, charges at him, getting ready to swing the blade in an arc. Harry's eyes widened in fright at the sudden attack; he jumped back away from the swing.
He thrusts his wand arm forward. "Causa Satani!" he cast the explosion spell at the woman. Little balls of light formed around her, and started to glow brighter. Before they could explode, she jumped out of the way, but not unscathed. Her side was caught up in one of the explosions.
Thanks to the blasts from the spell a dust cloud formed, blinding Harry of the whereabouts of his opponent. Not trusting that the spell got her, Harry lifted his wand up again, getting ready to cast another spell. "Tur…" Harry was cut off from casting when he felt a blunt object hit him in the back of his head, causing a sharp pain. He fell to the ground while his vision began to fade. Once he hit the floor, he knew no more.
"Bring him to me," said the leader with a smirk.
Harry awoke with a pain in the back of his head from being hit and passing out. He groaned while clenching his eyes and teeth shut. He reached behind him to check his head, or at least he tried to.
Harry's eyes snapped open to see that he was tied up by some kind of magic. He struggled to break free from the spell, but it was no use.
"I see you are awake, Harry Potter," a voice said from in front of him, making Harry turn his attention onto the owner of it. He saw a man with blue hair, dark eyes, and a curl smile on his lips. The man was also wearing dark blue clothing with a hood up over his head. "I have wanted to speak with you."

This turned into a very short chapter. Hopefully the next one will be longer.
Harry: I knew it! DX I knew I was going to be kidnapped!
Voldy: Why did you have him kidnapped?
Enj/Dark: I just felt like it. That and because Jellal knows that Harry is the Master of Death, making him want to try and control him, I guess.
Zeref: The plot bunnies wanted this, didn't they? -_-
Enj/Dark: YES! :D
Natsu: Don't worry, Harry. I'll save ya! ;)
Harry: Thanks, Natsu.
Enj/Dark: Zeff, your turn.
Zeref: Please review. :3
