Okay, I'm going to make this as fun for me as possible. I have been slowing down with this fanfic, and I need to pick it back up again. I have almost lost interest in this story, but we are getting to a part that will help me get through that. One of the main reasons for this problem is this arc. I am not a big fan of it. Luckily this chapter is the last one for this arc! :) So, please enjoy!

Recap: Harry saw one of the Oracion Seis members there with them and questioned about it. Jura is the one to answer.

"He had come to our side shortly after Nirvana was released. He only wanted to find his missing brother."

Harry can understand that, but before anything more could be said, the Rune Knights show up.

"We are here to take the members of the dark guild: Oracion Seis into custody as well as Jellal Fernandez," said the leader of the Rune Knights. The man has long, tied up black hair, and wears glasses in front of his blue eyes.

Harry and the rest of his team were not too happy with what they were hearing. After all, Jellal just helped in the fall of Nirvana. Everyone in Fairy Tail, including Harry, but excluding Erza, started to protest to Jellal being taken away.

They started fighting to get to the hand-cuffed, blue-haired man, but Harry was the first to be caught and pinned to the ground. He couldn't reach his wand from where it is, or even cast wandless magic. His magic is spent after destroying all the legs on Nirvana.

"You can't take him! Jellal is one of us now!" Harry heard what Natsu said, and silently agreed with him. Harry tried his best to struggle out of the Rune Knights' holds but they were just too many and much stronger than him physically.

Lahar called out for them to be arrested as well, but before anything could be done, Erza exclaims, "That is ENOUGH!" Everyone froze at the demand and turn to face Erza. "I'm sorry for how my guild is acting," she said to Lahar, and then to her guildmates, "All of you stand down."

Harry relaxed in his hold knowing that he, along with everyone else are going to possibly be getting a scolding from their S-Class mage later. He gave a small sorry towards her – he acted rashly and almost got into a lot of trouble for it. If it wasn't for Erza, their team would have been thrown into jail.

"Take Jellal away, I'll deal with me guild. Sorry for the trouble," Erza told the Rune Knights firmly, but with a little softness added in her tone. Harry can tell she is just as unhappy with Jellal being taken away as they are, but with everything the man did in the past he needs to be punished for. It is a sad thing since Jellal doesn't even remember it.

Harry was let up again, but he didn't stand right away. He waited till the knights were not standing over him any longer before slowly pushing himself up. Jellal is just about to enter the carriage when all of a sudden he froze.

"I remember…" He turned to connect his eyes with Erza's. With a smile, he says, "It was the color of your hair." Harry turns to see Erza's reaction to that confusing memory, and what he saw showed that she understood it clearly. Erza's eyes have widened in recognition, her mouth slightly ajar, but a sad, yet fond smile replaced that expression. Jellal walked into his ride and the doors closed behind him. Fairy Tail, Blue Pegasus, Lamia Scale, and Cait Shelter watch on as the Rune Knights leave with their prisoners.

"Erza, what did Jellal mean?" Harry asked.

"That is how I get the name Scarlet. I didn't have a last name so he gave me one to match my hair color so he would never forget it," said Erza.

Harry now understood. "I guess he remembered…" he said quietly."We should get going. Hey Wendy, do you think your master will be against us crashing at his guild for tonight?" Harry asked.

"No, I'm sure he would be very happy to let you all stay! After all, you all helped protect our guild," Wendy replied.

"Then legs go! I'm starved!" Natsu exclaimed.

"Aye sir!" Happy followed.

The Cait Shelter Guild Master, Roubaul, allowed them to stay at the guild with open arms and friendly smiles; however, Fawkes had to ruin the nice guy act by telling Harry that this old man is dead, nothing more than a spirit.

{Then how is he a guild master?} Harry asked his familiar.

{I don't know,} Fawkes replied. {I'm too tired to ask questions right now. Let's wait till tomorrow.}

{Are you sure that is safe?}

{I only said he is dead, not that he is a bad man.}

Harry didn't say anymore on the subject. He instead plopped on the bed he was given for the night and fell right to sleep.

Harry felt pain in his scar. It was so painful he couldn't even think. Why was he in so much pain right now?

"You lose, old man…" He heard a whispery hiss come from his own mouth, but he knows that it wasn't him that said it. That is when he realized what is happening. Voldemort is possessing him.

Harry tries to expel Voldemort from his body, but no matter what he did he couldn't get him to budge. The pain was so much that Harry almost gave up. He thought back to his godfather, Sirius. He felt so much sadness and love for the man he saw as a father figure in that very moment; it wasn't long ago that he saw him fall through the vale. At the same time, this feeling seems to have hurt Voldemort. That is when Harry got an idea.

Harry thought of all of his friends and how much he loved them. He could hear Voldemort shouting in rage with a hint of pain. He continues to think of his friends.

"You're the weak one…" Harry himself said this time. "I pity you…You will never know love, or family, or friendship…and that is why you will lose."

Voldemort jumped out of his body and stand above him. Harry couldn't move, his body is too exhausted.

"You are a fool, Harry Potter…" Voldemort said, but Harry was too tired to listen. The last thing he saw was green flames and the Minister of Magic walking in with a few more people and catching sight of Voldemort in all his snake-like glory before he vanished.

Harry snapped awake from the dream he just had. He felt it was too real to be one, so did that make it a memory?

{Are you alright, Harry?} Harry looked over when he heard Fawkes' voice question his wellbeing.

{Yeah, I'm okay. I think I just gained a new memory, but I don't know what triggered it,} he replied.

{What was is about?}

{Voldemort possessed my body.}

{You are right. That is a memory. I think you had this dream because of Nirvana. It had the power to turn someone light to dark, and vice versa. Voldemort is your opposite, so that might be why Nirvana triggered that specific memory,} Fawkes explained.

{I guess you're right.} Harry got up from his bed to get ready for the day.

{You have clothes at the foot of your bed. They were there before I woke up. So I don't know who placed them there,} said Fawkes.

Harry looks at the bed to see the pile of clothes. He is happy, because he feels gross in the clothes he is wearing now. He goes over to them and changes. "I wish I could take a shower," he mutters. Just as he finishes up, Natsu comes in.

"Hey you're awake. Erza said to come and get you. We are about to leave soon, but the old man here wants to talk to us first. He is right outside," he said.

Harry nodded his head in thanks. "I'll be right there." Natsu leaves to go outside while Harry checks to make sure he had everything. With that done, he lifted his arm for Fawkes to perch on and left the room.

"I thank you all for coming to the plaza," the guild master Roubaul said to the allied forces. "I wish to thank you all for also stopping Nirvana."

"Hey, it was no problem, old man!" Natsu said. "We should party for defeating that thing!"

"Aye sir!" Happy agreed.

Harry cast a stinking hex at the both of them. "I think we should wait until we get to our own guild. I'm sure they wouldn't want to be left out," he says this, but it wasn't the real reason for stopping Natsu from partying. Harry saw the look in Roubaul's eyes as well as the other guild members. They look like they have something to say that is far too serious for something as relaxing as a party.

{Is it just me… or do the members of this guild feel like they aren't there?} Harry asked Fawkes.

{No… it's not just you. I don't think they're real.}

{Not even a ghost?}

{Not even that.}

Roubaul thanks Harry before telling them his tale. What he says is shocking, but also makes so much sense as to why Zero tired to attack this guild.

"What I need to tell you is how Nirvana was created. You see 400 years ago, my people, the Nirvit, created Nirvana to stop all wars by absorbing the darkness from around the world. The Nirvit lived in Nirvana as a peaceful tribe for many years before the darkness that Nirvana took from the world entered into them.

"The Nirvit began to kill each other until there was no one left. I was the only survivor of that massacre."

Harry was shocked to hear this, and he wasn't the only one. Everyone that took on Nirvana and the Oracion Seis are feeling the same way.

{Well, now we know why he's a ghost…} said Fawkes. {He lived a long time ago.}

"I didn't go very far from where I sealed Nirvana. I vowed to watch over it so that something like what happened to my people wouldn't happen again. Many years later, I died, and became this spirit."

There was a gasp of horror and sadness that escaped Wendy's mouth. Harry laid a hand on her shoulder in comfort.

"I'm sorry I'm telling you this now, Wendy, after all these years have passed. I still remember when you first came here. A boy with blue hair with a tattoo on the right said of his face named Jellal carried you here on his back and asked for me to watch over you. I agreed to his request, and made this empty place livelier for you by creating illusions. I'm sorry to say, Wendy, but all of these guild members are not real, but you did help give them a personality."

Just as Roubaul finished saying this, the illusions started to glow and fade away. Harry watched on in sadness. He could only imagine what it feels like to lose all that you have known, cared for, and loved disappeared right before your eyes in one sitting.

"MASTER ROUBAUL!" Wendy cried out in despair.

"I am so sorry, Wendy…" Roubaul said, also glowing and fading away along with his magic. "I am glad to have been given the chance to take care of you. You have been a light in my dark, bare world for the past 7 years. I'm sorry to leave you like this, but now you have real friends that I know will take care of you. Thank you, Wendy…and goodbye…" The spirit of Roubaul, the last of the Nirvit faded into nothing with the last thing vanishing was his smile.

Wendy cried in anguish at the loss of her whole guild and home. Harry pulled her into his arms and let her tears soak his shirt. The rest of his team joined him in their hug, Happy also crying while holding on to Wendy like a life-line. Harry, himself, almost cried along with them with how much emotional pain could be heard in Wendy's tears.

They stayed that was for a good ten minutes with Wendy still crying. Once she started to calm down, Harry says, "Why don't you come with us and join Fairy Tail?"

Wendy sniffed to clear her noise, and looked up at Harry with pleading eyes. "Can I…?" she asked hopefully.

Harry gave her a smile that he gives to his son, Castor. "Of course you can. I wouldn't have offered if you couldn't," he said, resulting in being squeezed tightly by the young, blue-haired girl.

"Thank you…Harry…" Wendy said with new fresh tears falling down her rosy cheeks.

"You're welcome, Wendy."

So was that a happy or sad ending to this arc? I think it ended happily, but it was really close to a sad moment.

Zeref: I'd say it ended neutrally. It ended in both a negative and positive way. So in this case, it was neutral.

Voldy: It was sickening.

Harry: Can I kill him?

Natsu: Can I help?

Enj/Dark: You can beat him. Don't worry about his magic… I sealed it away for you. }:3

Harry & Natsu: Thank you, Enjali! *attacks Voldemort with fire and curses.

Enj/Dark: *listening to the screams of Voldemort as he is being attacked.* If you ask the reads to review, I'll tell them to stop, Tom!

Voldy: REVIEW! PLEASE!

Enj/Dark: You can stop attacking now.

Natsu & Harry: We don't won't to! *continues to attack Voldemort*

Enj/Dark: *Shrug* Well, I tried.

Voldy: YOU SAID YOU'D STOP THEM!"

Enj/Dark: I only said I'd tell them to, not actually stop them.

Zeref: She's got you there.

Voldy: YOU'RE EVIL! DX

Enj/Dark: *whispers: He just noticed that…?* -.-;
