The Allied Forces formed several groups. They spread out to find Wendy, Happy and Bella who had been kidnapped. Erza was left behind due to be poisoned with Hibiki and Lucy guarding her.

Hibiki stayed behind for another reason. It was his Archive Magic. With it, he can help the mages communicate with each other. It will help them immensely while they were spread out in a wide area like this forest.

While the others moved out in groups, 3 people moved out alone. They are Ben, Jura and Ichiya. The 3 of them decided to move out alone so they can cover more ground. Also, Ben was more comfortable moving out alone because he can move faster this way.

He left Carla in Mira's care and they move with Natsu and Gray because they were in the same guild as Mira. With Mira there, he doesn't need to worry about Carla's safety because he knew how strong Mira was.

To cover more ground, Ben created 7 clones that he sent in different directions. He can communicate with them every time so he will know everything they find. With these clones, he could complete the work of 7 teams by himself.

Ben moved fast while spreading his magic sense to find Wendy's magic signature. The forest is wide, so it was very difficult to find her. Even if Ben had explored this forest, it didn't mean he knew everything about it.

Sometime later, Ben was stopped by a group of people. They are mages from the Oracion Seis' subordinate guilds. There are more then 50 of them and they are from 3 dark guilds. Brain sent them to take care of Ben personally.

"Move! I don't have time to play with you." Ben told the dark mages.

"Don't worry, you won't have any time after this. Dead men don't need time." A man said with a smirk.

"Fine, don't blame me for what's about to happen. Just know that we were authorized to kill you, so don't say I didn't warn you. Without my sisters here, I can kill without concern." Ben said as he used Requip to summon his Pendragon sword.

The dark mages just laugh and immediately use their magic to attack Ben. Ben saw the incoming attacks and didn't move from his spot. Then when the attacks were about to hit him, he made his move.

"Sun Dragon Heat Roar!" Ben fired a beam of heat from his mouth that had a very high temperature. It destroyed the dark mages attacks instantly and then hit them. He directed the beam of heat to hit every dark mage and defeat them.

When he was done, the area dried up and a lot of steam was generated. The trees that were hit dried up completely and then crumble into dust. Fortunately the dark mages weren't dried up due to their magic power. But their bodies lost a lot of water and they were dehydrated which made them very weak.

Ben ignored them and continued his search. He was attacked again and again, but he easily defeated his enemies. Brain was worried about his strength so he sent many of the Oracion Seis' subordinate guilds to attack Ben.

None of these guilds were able to stop Ben, they could only slow him down a little. Right now, Ben defeated more than 250 dark mages on his way to find Wendy. Then he finally sensed Wendy's magic power and immediately ran to the location.

He found an abandoned town and went to the area where he felt Wendy's magic power. It didn't take long for him to find the building Wendy was in and he broke in immediately. Ben saw Bella, Happy, Brain, a man with short blue hair and an unconscious Wendy.

"Wendy!" Ben yelled as he flashed over to check on her.

"Bella and you blue cat, are you alright? What happened to Wendy?" Ben asked.

"Fine, tired." Bella said as she pointed to Wendy.

"So she's just tired, that's good." He sighed.

Ben was relieved, but then he noticed Wendy had signs of tears on her face and it made his veins pop in anger. He then controlled his emotions to avoid the same thing as before. He looked at Brain who seemed wary of him and the blue-haired guy who was in a daze.

"I will take care of you later, we have something important to do now. You better run so I won't be able to find you or you will need to pay for what you did. The price for hurting my sisters won't be cheap, so prepare yourself for it." Ben said before he teleported away with Wendy and the cats.

Ben appeared in the woods with the 3 and contacted Hibiki.

"Hibiki, show me the way back. I saved Wendy, so now she can help Erza." Ben said.

"That was fast." Hibiki replied.

"Also, tell the others to keep moving. Now we can focus on defeating our enemies." Ben said.

"Understood." Hibiki replied.

"What happened to Erza?" Happy asked.

"She needs Wendy's help." Ben explained as he ran after Hibiki sends him the route through Archive.

That was the only thing he said before trying to wake Wendy up. She woke up a few minutes later and looked around. She immediately hugged Ben when she saw him and he rubbed her back to calm her down. Then he left the area with them and headed to where Erza was.

Ben briefly explained what happened to Erza while running. He carried the 3 of them so they can move faster. Wendy and Bella were used to his speed, but Happy wasn't, so he was panicking and screaming in fear. It irritated Bella, so she hit him on the head and knocked him out.

After Ben explained what condition Erza was in, Wendy explained what had happened after they had been captured. Brain was asking her to heal someone, it was that blue-haired guy. His identity surprised Ben because he is the one who saved Wendy in the past, Jellal.

"Did I make a mistake saving him? Happy said he was evil, but I feel indebted to him." Wendy asked.

"No, saving him was the right decision. He might have changed after a few years, but the fact that he saved you will never change. Repaying someone's kindness is never wrong. However, when you meet him again and see him doing something bad, you should stop him. It will be your chance to keep him from going down the wrong path." Ben reassured her.

Wendy was a little relieved and nodded while being carried by Ben. They finally arrived at Erza's location after running for a few minutes. Erza was still conscious while Hibiki and Lucy continued guarding her.

Without a ounce of hesitation, Wendy went to check on Erza's condition. She cast her Healing Magic on Erza to remove the poison. Everyone remained silent to let her concentrate on her magic. Then soon, Erza finally woke up and the poison had vanished from her body.

"Good job, Wendy. You can rest now." Ben said while smiling and ruffling Wendy's hair.

"Yes." Wendy replied weakly, still thinking about Jellal.

Ben sighed after seeing that but couldn't do anything. Wendy needed to resolve it herself, he can only give her advice.

"Hibiki, what's the situation?" Ben asked.

"Everyone else was attacked by enemies. Some of the dark guilds under the Oracion Seis are responsible. A few Oracion Seis members also attacked our comrades. It seems they are rushing things and it might be because of your presence." Hibiki filled him in.

"Me?" Ben asked, confused.

"Yeah, they are sending more people to stop you, so it's clear they are very wary of you. I think it's because you stopped their attack before." Hibiki told him.

"Hmm, so the others weren't attacked by so many people like I was, huh? That means their number isn't as high as I thought." Ben mused.

SWISH*

Suddenly, a very bright pillar of light appeared in the forest and got their attention. They all look at it and Ben's eyes widen in surprise.

"Nirvana!" Ben exclaimed, alerted to it's activation.
