Please Vote! Racer is out since he was not voted on, but there is still a tie between Midnight and Cobra. If it ends as such, then I'm going to make it Harry and Natsu VS Cobra and Cubellios.
Enjoy the chapter!

After the explosion, Harry says, "That can't be good." He, Natsu, Fawkes, and Carla make a dash toward the entrance of the cave to see what caused it. Harry hopes it wasn't what he's thinking.

The four of them go in to see that Brain is on the ground passed out, Wendy clinging to Happy farthest to them, and Jellal standing in the middle of the open space. Harry was a little nervous. He knows that there is no way he would be able to take on Jellal when it was clear to him that he wouldn't succeed in taking on Brain. Natsu out of the two of them has better chances for he already defeated Jellal, but Brain…Harry has a feeling that the leader of the Oracion Seis was taken off guard by the explosion that Jellal clearly did for him to be unconscious.

Natsu grew angry at just the sight of Jellal. He remembers what this man did to Erza and her friends at the tower. He still has yet to forgive him, and may never do so. He lit his first on fire and charged at Jellal at full speed.

"JELLAL!" Natsu shouted in rage. By now he is a foot away from the blue-haired man, but just before he could land a hit another explosion slammed into him, sending him back and crash into the rocky wall behind him.

"Natsu!" Wendy called out in concern. "Why are you doing this, Jellal?" she asked softly to the man she revived, but Jellal doesn't answer or even acknowledge her presence.

Harry tells Fawkes to check on Natsu while he and Carla run/fly over to Wendy.

"Are you okay, Wendy?" Harry asked, seeing that she looks ready to faint.

"Wendy!" Carla shouted out in worry, but didn't say more since Harry already asked what she wanted to.

Wendy nods in reply, but she could no longer hold her eyes open. She fell over to the side, away from Harry, who had caught her before her head could hit the hard, rock ground. Happy was trying to calm Carla down, but was failing horribly. Carla kept shouting at him to back off. Harry decided to ask what happened between the time Fawkes left to cure Erza to now.

"Well," Happy began, "after Fawkes was caught sneaking out, Brain ordered the Oracion Seis to keep a tighter watch on us. Then Brain told Wendy to heal Jellal. She healed him, because she said he helped her once before when she was lost. She felt like she was in his debt, and somehow Brain knew this."

Harry didn't like the sound of that. Brain knew that Jellal helped Wendy, but he had to have known that this is probably the wrong Jellal. He nods his thanks to Happy for explaining and adding to what Fawkes already told him, and then turns to see if Natsu was okay. As he turns around he saw Jellal leaving the cave, and Natsu getting up while holding his head and thanking Fawkes for the tears.

"Harry, follow Jellal!" Natsu ordered. "I, Carla, and Happy will take Wendy back to Erza and Lucy. She'll be safe there."

Harry nodded his head in acceptance. "Alright, just don't run into any fights on the way there," he said, and then turned to Fawkes. "Let's go, Fawkes!" Harry waved an arm toward the exit of the cave when he spoke and the two run/fly out to follow Jellal, all the while being followed out by Natsu with Happy carrying him and Carla doing the same for Wendy.

With the cave now empty of the Allied Forces, Brain cracks an eye open and says quietly, "Cobra, follow the snake speaker and Jellal. I fear that Jellal wishes to use Nirvana all for himself. As for Potter, capture him when you have the chance."

Brain didn't have to look up to know that Cobra has already left to follow the wizard, bird, and mage. He sat up, realizing that Wendy is now gone, but that no longer matters since she did what he needed her to do. Now he just needs Harry so he can gain control over all sorts of venomous snakes. The fact that the boy even has that kind of power was just a bonus to the wizard magic.

'I will learn more about that power and see what it can do. If it is any good, I'll have to find a way to control the boy.'

Harry has been following Jellal for a while, wondering if the blue-haired man even was aware of his presence. He either didn't notice or doesn't care. He wonders just where Jellal is going, but had to pause behind a boulder when the man stopped in front of a dark mage. Jellal took out the mage like he was just a bag flowing through a hurricane. Just one hit and the man was down.

With the man now out of commission, Jellal took his cool looking coat and put it on. After that was finished, he started moving again.

{Wait, I need to make a stop. I can't go around looking like this. I need to look cool,} Fawkes said, trying to impersonate Jellal as best as he can. Harry had to cover his mouth and hold in his laughter. He gave the phoenix a glare that would have made Voldemort proud – if he didn't hate Harry's guts so much, that is.

They continue following Jellal when Harry noticed that Fawkes keeps looking behind them.

{What's up?} asked Harry.

{I think someone is following us, but I can't tell thanks to the thick magic in the air,} said Fawkes.

{It's probably someone from the Oracion Seis. I wouldn't be all that surprised if Brain sent one of them to follow us.}

{Yeah, but which one?}

Harry didn't have an answer for his familiar's question. {We'll just keep an eye out. They haven't made a move on us yet, so let's pretend that we didn't notice them,} he said.

Fawkes nods in agreement and stayed silent the rest of the way. They tailed Jellal until he stopped in front of a big, glowing tree with chains wrapped around on it. The two shiver, feeling the thick magic in the air. It was so thick that they could cut it with the Sword of Gryffindor.

{The magic feels uneven here,} said Harry.

{That may be because the light and dark magic are not threaded together to make it neutral. The two are at a content battle of dominance. This would definitely be the reason for why those people turned on each other 400 years ago,} said Fawkes.

Harry understood Fawkes' explanation. This must be where Nirvana is. He stayed hidden behind a boulder a few meters away from Jellal. He kept an eye on the blue-haired mage when he heard and felt someone behind him. He turned around and almost yelped, but didn't thanks to the hand that quickly covered his mouth.

"You wouldn't want someone like him to know we are here, do you?" Cobra asked, and Harry mentally said no. "I thought so. Now let's watch and see what he does. He is after all the only guy that knows how to get Nirvana free."

Harry thought why he should wait to let Nirvana to be freed, but Cobra seems to have an answer for that.

"For you, you would be able to destroy Nirvana easier if it were free and not sealed away in some tree."

Harry really hates how Cobra can hear his thoughts and answer his questions without him asking them aloud. Wait…does that mean that Cobra knew that they knew he was follow?

"You're not the only one that hates that," said Cobra in the same quiet tone of voice with a smirk on his lips. "As for your question, yes I did notice you becoming aware of me. That is why I showed myself now."

{He does have a point with waiting for Nirvana to be unsealed. We would have a better chance at destroying the thing that way,} said Fawkes who sighed when he heard that they were busted.

{Fine we'll wait,} Harry said reluctantly, "but try anything while my back is turned to you…" He didn't have to finish to let Cobra know that he was threatening him.

Cobra just smirked wider before replying, "I won't do anything." The word 'yet' was still heard even if it went unspoken. Since such a word didn't pass Cobra's lips, Harry made sure Fawkes kept an eye on the man and his snake.

He returned his attention back on Jellal, who is just standing in front of the tree. He wonders how he's going to unseal Nirvana, but he guesses he'll just find out.

"It's strange…" Harry turned around to look at Cobra with a confused expression. What is the man talking about? "I can't hear him. It's like his mind is blank."

An idea went through Fawkes' head just then. {What of Harry? Does he have something similar?}

Cobra was confused by Fawkes' question. "What do you mean? His mind is acting fine."

{Can you hear his past?} Harry thinks he understands what Fawkes is asking. He stays silent in wait of Cobra's answer.

"Faintly… Why is that?" Cobra replied.

"I have a bit of amnesia," replies Harry. "I'm slowly getting my memories back." He was right about what Fawkes had in mind. He was wondering if Jellal has the same problem as he does, just fresher.

"So Jellal may have amnesia…" Cobra said slowly. "I guess we'll just have to wait and see if that is true."

Harry nods in agreement. Just as they finished speaking in whispers a loud sound came from where Jellal and the tree are standing. Harry snaps his head around to see what is happening, and there in the tree's place is a pillar of black and white light.

Natsu had been flying when Racer knocked him, Carla, Happy, and Wendy out of the sky. Luckily, Gray was there to help him get away with the now unconscious cats and Wendy. It took him a few minutes to get to where Erza, Lucy, and Hibiki are, and once he did he laid down his three sleeping packages.

"What happened?" Lucy asked, but then noticed that there are two missing. "Where are Harry and Fawkes?"

"When I got to the cave where Wendy and Happy were, Harry showed up a second later in a ball of fire. Just as we were about to enter the cave, an explosion sounded from inside. We go in to see the leader knocked out, Wendy ready to faint, and Jellal alive and kicking!" Natsu answered Lucy's first question, getting louder with each word, and now he's answering her second, "As for Harry and Fawkes, I had them follow Jellal after he left the cave while I took Wendy back here."

If Natsu or anyone had looked, they would have noticed that Erza twitched when Natsu said Jellal was alive and kicking, but they didn't, so Natsu continued without worry. Now that Erza knows, she plans on looking for Jellal. She is not sure what she is going to do once she finds him though, but she does hope that Harry will be okay once she gets there.

"You sent Harry after him?!" Lucy exclaimed loudly. "What if he's not strong enough to take Jellal on? What if one of the Oracion Seis followed them?"

"Don't worry, Harry has become much stronger than when you last saw him fight," Natsu reassured before shrugging. "Besides, Fawkes is with him. I'm sure that together they can take one two people." Natsu didn't sound as sure about that as he did in his first sentence. He believes that Harry can handle Jellal just fine and maybe without Fawkes' help, but with both Jellal and a member of the Oracion Seis…he's not as positive.

"I guess all we can hope for is that Harry was the only one to follow Jellal, but the chances of that are very low," said Hibiki when looking up from his magic computer screen.

Not long after Hibiki put in his two Jewels, the ground shook from the magic that sprung out of the ground in a pillar of white and black light not far from their position.

"What is that?" Lucy asked in confusion and worry.

"That must be Nirvana," Hibiki answered. "It is being unsealed!"

"It's got to be Jellal's doing! That's why the Oracion Seis wanted Wendy in the first place so they can get him to show them where it is," said Natsu angrily.

"Natsu, what's going on?" Natsu turned to see that Happy is awake and staring at the pillar of mixed light.

"Happy, are you okay?" asked Natsu.

"Aye!" replied Happy. "Is that Nirvana?"

"Yeah, it is, buddy, and I bet our savings that Jellal is there too. You ready to go and join Harry in kicking his butt?"

"Aye sir!" Happy exclaimed while jumping up in the air with a fist bump.

"Let's go! See you guys later!" Natsu called out behind him to Lucy and Hibiki, not noticing that Erza cracked an eye open to see him running farther away. Once they are out of sight, she gets up.

*Sigh…* I guess the only excuse I can give as to why these chapters are short is so I can give myself time to read My Hollow Siblings, then to refresh myself on the Full-Bring arc's plot, because I'll have to throw the rest of it out the window, and then do the same for the 1,000 Year Blood-War arc. Once I'm down doing that, I can work on planning the two arcs and see what I need to do to change them to fit with what I did in My Hollow Siblings. The whole of the Full-Bring arc is going to need a make-over, and the 1,000 Year Blood-War needs to go a little slower so I don't do what Kubo did with force feeding info to the readers. Not only that, but I also need to do things more differently anyway, since Ichigo has his real powers from the get-go. It's going to be a lot of work, and I don't know if I'll be ready by the time the Tenrou Island arc is over. Hopefully it will be with how slowly things are going. If not, then I will be taking break so I can focus on the planning.

As for what's happening in the story – Harry knows why Wendy healed Jellal, Harry follows Jellal with Cobra just behind him, and now Erza knows about Jellal being back. The fight between Gray, Lyon, and Racer is the same as the manga/anime. So if you want to see it then go watch it from the episode or read it from the manga chapter, please.

Am I making Cobra sound nicer then he is, or am I just bringing out the nice guy that we know he can be? I feel like I'm doing so a little early. I'm trying to not have him OOC, but it's hard when you know who he turns into and you like him that way. So the only thing I can think of that would make sense as to why he's acting the way he is, is because Harry can bring the good and bad in people just by standing there.

Voldy: Yeah, like me wanting to kill him in the worst way possible.

Harry: Hey! DX

Enj/Dark: Not only that, but look at Harry's school days. Everyone loves him and then hates him at the drop of a hat. -_-

Zeref: Really…? Talk about fickle. :/

Harry: I know, right!? D=

Natsu: How are you still sane? I would have knocked some sense into them a long time ago.

Voldy: The better question is why didn't you just leave them to me? They are ungrateful sheep, and when things go downhill and fast, they expect you to save them even after nearly handing you over to me on a silver platter.

Enj/Dark: I hate to say this, but Voldy's got a point.

Harry: It's just what is right.

Enj/Dark: I would have left them in the quicksand. -_-

Zeref: Don't you mean dust?

Enj/Dark: No… I say quicksand, because that's how fast those people sink.

Natsu: Oh, I get it now! :)

Enj/Dark: Now Voldy…It's your turn.

Voldy: *Glares at me* Please review… I hate you, Enjali.

Enj/Dark: Aw…! I hate you too! :3
