This week is so far not going my way. I was able to write up the plans for the fight between Harry and Midnight, but now I just have to get to it. Please enjoy the short chapter.

Racap: Jellal looked reluctant, but answered the question anyway. "I heard a voice in my dreams. It was telling me to get Nirvana. I faintly remembered the magic and whereabouts, but that was enough. This is a dangerous piece of magic. I can't hand it over to anybody else," he said firmly while opening his eyes that were filled with sadness, acceptance, and resolve. "That's why I unsealed it – so I can completely destroy it."

"What?!" both Cobra and Harry said at the same time, but Harry said it in more disbelief while Cobra said it with a bit of rage and worry in his voice. The worry, however, wasn't for Jellal but for Nirvana.

"You're going to destroy…Nirvana?" Erza asked, just as shocked as Harry.

"I cast the self-destruction spell on it already. Soon Nirvana will disappear on its own," Jellal said calmly.

The moment Cobra heard that Jellal finish speaking of his plans to destroy Nirvana he takes off towards the complex magic code to try and shut it down. He placed his fingers on the magic like he was going to type on a computer, but no matter what he does he can't figure out how to disable it. With that realization, Cobra turns around and demands, "What did you do? Answer me!"

"Only I know how to cancel the code," Jellal stated.

"Then tell me how to cancel it!" Cobra ordered, but Harry believes that he isn't going to get an answer. He was right. Jellal ignored Cobra's question all together like he never spoke at all.

"Erza…I feel kindness in that name," Jellal said with what Harry thinks is sadness, but he isn't sure. There is just too much emotion in Jellal's voice for him to identify. "I feel kindness, brightness, and warmth." Jellal places a hand on his chest, and thanks to his seeker eyes Harry was able to see that the blue-haired man in shaking in pain. "You may hate me in the future. It seems very likely to me that you will. However…Hatred will take the freedom of your heart away and destroy you from the inside."

Jellal takes his hand away from his chest, and in its place is a smaller coding of what he is using to destroy Nirvana.

{The two pieces of code are connected with one another,} Fawkes tells Harry his findings.

"I can't… I can't stand in front of you…" Jellal starts to fall back, his legs unable to hold his weight any longer. "You shall be free… I'll take your sadness and hatred down with me."

Harry was in too much shock to do anything for a minute, but he was snapped out of his stunned daze by Erza's cry of Jellal's name and seeing her run up to his fallen form. He quickly follows her over to her former friend. When he gets there, he asks Fawkes, {Get you save him?} He has a feeling he already knows the answer to this question.

Fawkes shook his head, confirming Harry's guess. {No, he is not wounded. This spell is causing damage from the inside, but there is nothing I can do to stop the spell from killing him.}

Erza was holding Jellal by his stolen jacket and yelling at him about how she is not going to allow him to die by the time Harry reached them. "You've committed crimes! You must remember everything! Don't think for one moment that you can be at ease without knowing anything! Don't expect the people you have hurt to forgive you! Live and struggle! That is the only way you'll be able to repay and make amends for the misdeed you have done!"

"She right," Harry adds calmly to Erza's rant, but he can hear his own sadness peeking through. "Are you really going to take the coward's way out, Jellal? You may have tried to make me a pet for Zeref, but even I don't believe that even compares to what you have done to so many others. If you die here, you will never be able to right all the wrongs you did. You think this will free Erza, but it won't without your memories. She will never have closure if you die here."

Jellal had been looking at Harry when he was speaking, but he turned his head back to Erza once he was done. "Erza…you're crying…" the blue-haired man said, surprising Erza – she hadn't noticed the tears streaming down her face. Jellal smiles softly. "You're so kind."

"Jellal! Pull yourself together!" Erza shouted angrily, but Harry knows that this is hitting her hard since her tears have yet to stop.

"What's this all about…?" a male voice said from behind Harry, Fawkes, and Erza. Harry turns around to see that the speaker is none other than the leader of the Oracion Seis. "A self-destruction spell?" Brain finished saying.

Harry didn't hear it but Cobra sighed in relief when he noticed that his leader is there, and he possibly knows how to stop the spell. What he did hear, however, is Cobra shouting, "Jellal cast it! At this rate Nirvana will be destroyed!"

Brain just grinned like there is nothing to worry about. "Don't worry, Cobra. You should know the reason why my code name is Brain, right?" He shifted his skull magic staff. "I had worked in the magic development department once," he stared explaining as he walked closer, and passed Erza, Harry, Fawkes, and the still down Jellal. "There are several hundred types of magic that I have created using my knowledge during that time. One of those was self-destruction magic."

'One of them was… Darn it! He knows how to stop the destruction of Nirvana. I knew that I should have tried to destroy it while it was still unsealing,' Harry thought. He looked down at Jellal, wondering if the spell will end on him too. It should since Fawkes did say that the two are connected.

"I'm the one who taught you this spell, Jellal. Have you forgotten?" Brain is now standing in front of the magic coding with his hand lightly toughing it. "Even without the cancelling code…I can decimate this spell easily," he said as he proceeded to destroy the spell.

Harry, Erza, and Jellal were surprised and did not want to believe what they were seeing. They thought that in the end they wouldn't have to deal with Nirvana, but with the spell gone they knew that a big fight is ahead of them. Fawkes was the only one not surprised in the slightest by this. After all, Harry is here. His luck is never that good.

Brain turns around and for the first time notices the spell on Jellal's chest. "You cast a self-destruction spell on yourself? Were you planning on taking the canceling code down with you?" he asked mockingly.

"Jellal has lost his memories due to the impact of the Etherion. He didn't even remember he was evil," Cobra said with an amused grin.

Brain starts to laugh at that. "Now that's a pity, Jellal! I'll be taking Nirvana now!"

Harry tightened his hand around his wand and swung it out with a spell on his lips. At the same time, Erza had her sword in hand and charged forward at the enemy.

"I won't let you!" shouted Erza.

Just before Harry was about to say his spell, Brain cries out for Nirvana to awake, and just after he said this the ground trembled, causing Harry to lose his balance and ability to cast the spell he wanted.

Nirvana reveals itself in full, showing that it is indeed a city. Harry was able to cling just barely to the structure. As he felt the air of the outside he looked around and saw that Nirvana has six spider-like legs.

The whole structure was moving far too fast for his already weak grip to hold onto. He lost his grasp on the leg and fell off. He tries to find something else to grab onto, but there is nothing. Shortly after thinking he is going to fall to his death, Fawkes swoops in and catches him with his talons.

{What are you doing, Harry?! Did you forget that you have your shrunken broom in your pocket?} Fawkes asked in an angry yet worried tone.

Harry's eyes opened just a tad farther in surprise prior to palming his face. He had forgotten he had brought his broom. He stuffs his hand in his pocket in search of it. As he is looking, Happy and Natsu show themselves not that far away from them.

Harry, with his hand still in his pocket, noticed that Natsu wasn't looking so good. He must be recovering from being sick while he was on the leg like he was.

"Hey Harry!" Happy called out, drawing Natsu's attention to him as well.

"Yo Harry, Fawkes! You two doing okay?" Natsu asked with a wide grin.

"Yeah, we're fine," Harry replied. "We're going to go back to look for Erza and Jellal." When he finished speaking he found his broom. He lifts it out of his pocket and looks at it. He casts the Engorgement Charm on it so he can bring it back to its normal size. Once he had his broom, Fawkes lets go of him and he lands right on top of the flying artifact.

"Alright," Natsu says, "I'm going after the leader. You keep an eye on Jellal. I don't trust him with Erza!" Before Harry could tell Natsu that Jellal doesn't even remember anything about his past besides what Erza told him, the pink-haired dragon slayer was already gone.

Harry sighed, but didn't go after Natsu. Instead he went looking for Erza and Jellal like he planned. "Let's go, Fawkes." The two start their search for the two mages.

Natsu and Happy fly up to the top of the structure. There they find Brain and Cobra. Natsu was about to attack, but he is almost knocked out of the sky by Cobra who heard him coming.

"Cobra, I leave you to handle him. I'm going to start moving Nirvana towards the guild." Natsu didn't know what Brain was talking about. He figured that Nirvana could move since it has legs, but he doesn't know what guild Brain in planning to go after. Alas, he couldn't think more on it, but that isn't too much of a loss because he now has an opponent to fight.

The two fighters leave the top so they could have more room to go all out.

Sadly, I had to look some things up in the manga. Next chapter is Natsu VS Cobra. I hope you're looking forward to it – even if the fight is pretty much going to be the same with my own touches to it.

Natsu: I thought you weren't going to be able to finish this chapter before Friday.

Enj/Dark: I didn't either, but I was able to mix some parts. Like you and Harry meeting up in the air.

Harry: So you lucked out with that, but doesn't that make the chapter shorter?

Enj/Dark: It kind of does; although, I don't think anyone is going to care all that much.

Zeref: Yeah, but that is because they got an update this week; unlike last week. -_-

Voldy: *eyeroll*

Enj/Dark: *smacks Voldy upside the head with my tail* I saw that. *turns to Harry* It's your turn.

Harry: Please review!
