While Ben took Zero on, the others gathered on Jura's order that he relayed through Hibiki. They brought the enemies that they defeated to where Jura was.
"Jura-san, what about Brain?" Lyon asked.
"Don't worry about him, someone else is taking care of it. For now, let's tie up the enemies we've caught to make sure they don't run away. We also need to tend to our injuries." Jura told everyone else.
Everyone nodded and did what Jura said. Well, almost everyone because Natsu wanted to find and defeat Brain. But a glare from Erza was enough to keep him from leaving.
The mages were wary of Hoteye and Jellal though. Both were enemies before they aided the mages. It wasn't easy to trust them besides their assistance. But they relaxed after Erza informed them Jellal had amnesia.
Wendy had a big dilemma now because Jellal told her he didn't remember anything. So he didn't recall saving Wendy 7 years ago. She was sad but also relieved that Jellal wasn't as evil as the others made him out to be.
While waiting for Ben and Mira, Wendy healed the others. They were injured and needed immediate treatment. Everyone was amazed by Wendy's healing ability because it was extremely rare.
Then after healing everyone, Wendy spoke to Natsu. She wanted to know about the disappearance of her dragon foster mother, Grandeeney. Ben didn't have a answer regarding it, so she tried to ask Natsu.
"So you don't know either? That's too bad." Wendy sighed in disappointment.
"Yeah, I'm still trying to find Igneel. I asked Gajeel and he doesn't know anything either. What about him?" Natsu asked.
"Do you mean Ben nii-san? His case is different than ours. His dragon parent didn't disappear, he passed away prior to the disappearance of the other dragons. Ben nii-san didn't learn a lot from his dragon parent, Escanor. So he taught himself Dragon Slayer Magic, but he got this strong without someone else's help. I really admire him." Wendy said.
"What Dragon Slayer Magic does he have? He used fire before, so is he a Fire Dragon Slayer like me?" Natsu asked.
Wendy wanted to answer, but someone cut her off before she got the chance. "I am a Sun Dragon Slayer."
Everyone looked for the source of the voice and saw Ben standing there. He returned with Mira and he dragged the tied up and unconscious Brain/Zero behind him. Ben threw Brain/Zero over to Jura and the latter caught him.
"Please take care of him. You know how to handle the captured criminals better than I do." Ben said.
"I feel like I keep taking care of your mess this day." Jura sweat dropped.
"Well, the oldest needs to take care of the mess the youngest made." Ben joked.
"Alright, I understand." Jura sighed before leading Brain over to the other defeated Oracion Seis members.
Wendy, Bella and Carla run over to him and happily hug him. He rubbed their heads and checked on their condition. They were fine and he was relieved.
"So, this is finally over? What should we do now?" Sherry asked.
"Now, we are-" Jura was cut off when a gigantic ship suddenly appeared in the sky.
They all look at the flying ship which came closer to them. Everyone knew who the ship belonged to, the Magic Council. Ben sighed after seeing the ship because the model was inspired by him.
"My model is installed on airships, but I can't enjoy it due to my motion sickness. I have contributed a lot to this world's transportation, but I can't enjoy all modes of transportation. Sad, really." Ben was melancholic.
"What are you talking about?" Mira asked.
"Nothing, just imaging how fun it would be to ride in an airship like that." Ben whispered.
Soon, the Council's 4th Custody Enforcement Unit that was led by Lahar stepped out of the airship. The Unit approached the mages and Lahar said that they are here to detain the Oracion Seis.
"I thought the Magic Council was disbanded?" Lyon asked.
"It has been reformed by Fiore's royal family. The Council is important to the kingdom's safety. So it needed to be reformed quickly." Lahar informed them while showing the king's decree to the group.
The mages now believe it's real and hand the Oracion Seis over to them. When Hoteye is about to be captured, Jura asked him for his brother's name. Hoteye had spent years searching for his brother, so Jura was going to help him.
Hoteye told him that his brother's name was Wally Buchanan, much to Erza's surprise. She said she knows Wally and told Hoteye he was fine. Wally is currently traveling across the continent with his friends, and Hoteye was so happy he started to cry.
Hoteye then surrendered without any regret. Lahar then said they were also there to capture an even more dangerous criminal, Jellal. He and Ultear were the ones who destroyed the previous Magic Council.
Wendy tried to convince Lahar that he should release Jellal because he doesn't remember what he did at all. But it doesn't excuse the crime he committed. Losing his memories doesn't change the fact that he is guilty.
Ben told her to stop because everything Lahar said is correct. Jellal also accepted his punishment and thanked Erza for everything before walking away. Erza had a conflict in her heart about it, but then Natsu acted before her.
The pink-haired man attacked the Council Unit and demanded that they release Jellal because he is one of them now. He said Jellal needed to be at Erza's side for her sake. The other Fairy Tail mages, except Mira, also start to attack the Council Unit.
"KNOCK IT OFF!" Ben shouted.
They stop what they are doing and look at him.
"I know you care about your friend, but you also need to think about his feelings. He has decided to accept his sin so you should respect that. I know you guys are selfish but don't force it on others. Besides, I'm not in a good mood today, so you should stop and behave yourselves." Ben said before his magic power flared up, intimidating them.
They all tremble and finally stop, so Ben followed their example. Mira looked at him and was now certain something was wrong with Ben today. His mood can quickly change and he seems to think about something all the time.
'As I thought. Something is very wrong with him. It's out of character for him to get that angry and he has done it a few times today. It seems something is troubling him and it must be a very big problem. I need to wait for him to calm down before we talk about it.' Mira thought.
The Council finally took the criminals away to their airship. Erza told them that she accepted Jellal's decision before leaving on her own. The others can't do anything now even though they are still dejected.
The airship then flew away and Erza cried alone while hiding from the others. Mira knew it and let her release her emotions. She just stayed there and prevented the others from finding Erza, she needs some time to herself.
"The job is complete, so let's return." Jura said.
"Yeah, but our clothes are tattered." Lucy pointed out.
"Then you can get some new clothes from our guild. It's not far from here." Wendy told them.
They all think it's a good idea then they look at Ben to make sure he allowed it.
"Wendy is right, you can get new clothes there. You can also eat and rest in the village before returning home tomorrow. You must be very tired now." Ben noted.
They nod and decide to head to Cait Shelter.
