章節 229: Wendy and Happy Kidnapped

Earth Land, Ishgar, Kingdom of Fiore, Worth Woodsea.

November, x784.

As soon as the battle between the Allied Forces and the Oración Seis started, Carla grabbed Wendy and dragged her behind a bolder with Happy following them shortly afterward.

"Carla, what are you doing?" Wendy asked, both frustration and fear mixing into her tone.

"I'm keeping you safe." Carla replied sternly. Then, she turned her attention towards Happy. "And why are you here?"

"I'm keeping both of you safe." Happy replied with a valiant expression.

"Hmph!" Carla snorted in reply while turning her nose up at Happy's declaration.

"But I need to go help them." Wendy said, glaring at Carla slightly. "They are our allies."

"I don't care about anyone's safety other than yours, Wendy." Carla said, placing her paws on her hips as she stood in front of Wendy. "You're my only priority."

With that, Wendy and Carla continued to argue about Wendy's participation in the battle. Meanwhile, Happy's gaze switched from Wendy to Carla and finally to the ongoing battle repeatedly.

Eventually, Wendy, after realizing she would not get Carla's approval to participate in the battle stopped arguing and joined Happy in watching the battle. And when Wendy stopped, Carla also began observing the battle as well.

Seeing how strong everyone was, Wendy found herself growing even more frightened. But at the same time, she had the desire to get stronger, too. That way, she would be able to help her allies and keep her best friend, Carla, safe while out on quests.

Eventually, the three saw most of the battlefield come to a stop as Ur and Ultear were overwhelming Brain so one-sidedly. Though, Happy made a comment that Ur could do that by herself.

Naturally, that left Wendy and Carla in awe at the prowess Ur showed.

"In fact, if it were just Ur and that Brain guy, she would probably just freeze over the entire area." Happy said. "but she doesn't want to hurt the people around her."

That statement caused Wendy and Carla to both stare at Happy. While Wendy stared at him in amazement, Carla did so with skepticism.

"Would you fools stop standing around and gawking!" Brain shouted, bringing Wendy and Carla's attention back to the battlefield. "Complete the objective so we can move on to the next step of our plan."

With that, the battle continued. A few moments later, however, the man called Racer appeared among the three.

"There you are." Racer said as he reached out towards Wendy. "You're coming with me."

"No, she' not!" Carla shouted as she used her [Aera Magic] to sprout her wings and fly towards Racer.

*Smack!*

Casually, Racer, without even glancing at Carla, slapped her out of the air with his free hand. Then, he continued reaching for Wendy.

"Carla!" Wendy shouted in panic after seeing Carla knocked away. Then, with anger in her eyes, she took a deep breath. "[Sky Dragon's---]."

Before she could cast her spell, however, Wendy's eyes opened wide when Racer vanished from in front of her. Then, before she could start searching for his new position, he reappeared behind her and chopped her on the back of the neck.

Immediately, Wendy lost consciousness. Then Racer grabbed her and disappeared from behind the bolder. Meanwhile, Carla, who was weakly trying to push herself off the ground, reached out a paw towards the spot where Wendy and Racer disappeared from. Then, she lost consciousness, left alone behind the bolder.

'I hope that cat… Happy… can keep her safe.' Carla thought as her world faded into darkness.

A while later, Carla opened her eyes again. However, she was no longer behind the bolder where she, Wendy, and Happy had been watching the battle before they were attacked by Racer. Instead, she found herself lying next to a white-haired young woman, Sorano, whose name she did not know.

A moment later, after Carla regained her wits, she sat up quickly.

"We have to save Wendy!" Carla shouted as she sat up.

"Oh, you're awake, little cat. I believe your name was Carla." Jura said in a peaceful tone.

"That's not important, we have to save Wendy!" Carla shouted, growing more frantic as time went by. "She and the cat were kidnapped!"

"They took Happy, too?" Natsu shouted angrily. "Where are they? I'll make them pay for taking my little buddy!"

With that, Natsu immediately ran away from the group while everyone else was dumbfounded at how quickly he ran away. A moment later, Carla looked at the rest of the group angrily.

"Why aren't any of the rest of you going to save them?" Carla asked angrily.

"I think you should watch your mouth." Ur said in an irritated tone. "Why don't you look next to you."

Though she was angry that no one was going to find Wendy, Carla followed Ur's instructions. When she looked next to her, she saw Sorano laying there with bandages wrapped around her abdomen. And from what she could tell, she was not in good shape.

After seeing the state Sorano was in, Carla could finally understand why no one was willing to just rush off. They could not afford to leave the injured woman alone. However, Carla thought that was an even better reason for them to go find Wendy.

"Then, you really should hurry and find Wendy." Carla said, sounding a bit calmer now. "Wendy's [Dragon Slayer Magic] can be used to heal."

Immediately after Carla's words fell, Karen walked off in the same direction Nasu went without a word. Shortly afterward, Ur and Ultear also left to find the members of the Oración Seis. Though, it seemed more like they were just looking for an excuse to find Brain.

Meanwhile, Gray, Lyon, and Sherry also left in a group to search for the Oración Seis with Ichiya sprinting off shortly afterward while shouting "men" and declaring that he would save Sorano. In the end, only Hibiki and Jura were left to look over the unconscious and heavily injured Sorano.

"You can keep in touch with everyone using your [Telepathy Magic], correct." Jura asked.

"That won't be a problem." Hibiki replied with his [Archive Magic] screen floating around him. "I'm tracking all their movements as we speak."

"Very good." Jura said with a nod. "Then, I'll create some shelter for us."

A moment later, Jura clapped his hands together strongly. Then, rocks rose from the ground and created a domed shelter around him, Hibiki, and Sorano.

A while later, Wendy, who had been kidnapped, finally woke up. When she did, the first thing she did was sit up and scan he surroundings. The first thing she noticed was that she was in a cave lit by magical torches. After that, she saw two of the members of the Oración Seis standing around a man who was lying on a stone bed. And finally, she noticed the tied up blue cat lying next to her.

"Happy!" Wendy exclaimed.

"Wendy, thank goodness you're okay." Happy said in a relieved tone.

"Oh, it seems the Maiden of the Sky has awakened." One of the two wizards from the Oración Seis, Brain, said after hearing Wendy's exclamation. "Good. I'm glad no harm fell upon you."

Hearing that voice, Wendy's head snapped in Brain's direction as she went on full alert.

"Why did you kidnap me?" Wendy asked in as brave a tone as she could muster. "What do you want from me."

"Oh, nothing too difficult." Brain replied calmly. "I simply want you to heal someone."

With that said, Brain and the other wizard, Cobra, who had just been listening to the conversation, stepped aside. When they did, the man lying on the stone bed became visible.

Wendy, as soon as she saw the blue hair and the red tattoo under the man's right eye, sucked in a breath of air in surprise. On top of that, a bit of happiness could be seen in her expression. Happy, on the other hand, was terrified.

"It's you." Wendy said quietly after seeing the man's, Jellal Fernandes', face. "I've been hoping to see you for so long. I've always wanted to thank you for saving me."

As she spoke, Wendy stood up and slowly started approaching the unconscious form of Jellal. A moment later, Happy came back to his senses.

"Wendy, you can't heal him!" Happy shouted. "He's the traitor from the Magic Council. And the one who tricked them into firing the Etherion! He's the one who---"

"Silence, Cat." Cobra said, appearing next to Happy in a burst of speed before picking him up by his neck and choking him to stop him from speaking.

"Stop it!" Wendy shouted, having turned around when Happy started shouting. So, she naturally saw the moment Cobra picked him up. ""Don't hurt him."

"Well, then, this makes things simple." Cobra said with a grin. "If you want that cat to live, then you will heal him."

In response, Wendy hesitated. Although she truly wanted to heal the man on the stone bed, because she recognized him as the one who saved her when she found herself all alone in the middle of a forest and brought her to her current home, the Cait Shelter guild, she had also heard of all the bad things he had done.

"I guess you're not so important to her, Cat." Cobra said, putting more force on Happy's neck.

"Now, there's no need for that, Cobra." Brain said, stopping Cobra from inflicting any more harm on Happy before turning his attention back to Wendy. "But if you don't intend to help him, there's no need for him to continue suffering."

With that, Brain raised his skull staff and pointed it at Jellal. Then, he started gathering his magic power to release a spell that would undoubtedly kill Jellal in his current, comatose state.

"Are you sure about that, Brain?" Cobra asked with an eyebrow raised.

The reason for Cobra's raised eyebrow was not for the reason one would expect. Instead of being confused at the fact that Brain would kill the person that he wanted Wendy to heal, it was because Cobra had a special kind of enhanced hearing that allowed him to hear the surface thoughts of those in his vicinity.

And what he heard from Brain made him realize just how cruel and crafty the old man was.

In fact, Brain actually had no intention of killing Jellal. But since Wendy did not know that, it would work to his advantage. However, if Wendy truly refused to heal him, Brain would kill him without hesitation, just to make Wendy suffer for disobeying. But Brain doubted it would come to that.

'What I really wanna know is how did Brain even get his hands on this guy.' Cobra thought to himself as he watched the mind games Brain was playing with the scared, little girl. 'The authorities from every nation on Ishgar has been searching for him for over two months. Yet, Brain seemed to find him with no issue.'

Meanwhile, Brain, with his staff raised, was holding eye contact with Wendy. And as he did, he could see that her hesitation to heal Jellal was waning as time went by.

'Good, it shouldn't be too much longer.' Brain said to himself while observing Wendy. 'And when she's finally healed him, he can lead us to Nirvana. Still, I wonder how that crazy woman managed to sneak him away from those Fairy Tail wizards after his defeat. More importantly, how does he know where Nirvana can be found?'

As Brain began contemplated all the unanswered questions he has had since the crazy woman he was referring to, Junko Enoshima, brought him Jellal's comatose body, he was pulled from his thoughts when Wendy finally spoke up.

"Why do you need me to heal him?" Wendy asked unsurely. "What are you going to do with him."

"We'll use him to find Nirvana." Brain said with an enlightened smile. "A place where light and darkness can be changed at will."

Though she was unsure of what Brain men by changing light and darkness at will, to Wendy, it did not sound as dangerous as she was expecting. And because she was looking for a reason to heal Jellal and repay the kindness she was shown seven years ago, anyway, she agreed to heal him.

Meanwhile, Happy's eyes opened wide in panic. Although he did not go on the Tower of Heaven expedition like his canon counterpart, he, along with most of the wizards in Fairy Tail, had heard the story that Alfonzo, Elicia, Cana, Ultear, and Erza told about their adventure. So, he knew, or at least thought he knew, what kind of person Jellal was. Still, there was nothing he could do to stop Wendy from healing him. The only good thing that came from Wendy healing Jellal was the fact that Cobra released him and left the cave to perform another task.

About half an hour later, Wendy, exhausted from using so much of her magic power, stepped away from the stone bed Jellal was lying on, having completed her healing. Then, a few moments later, Jellal sat up and began scanning his surroundings.

At that moment, one of the caves walls exploded inward, dust and debris filling that portion of the room.

"Happy! Where are you!?" Natsu shouted through the dust cloud.

"Brain is here, I can feel it." Ultear's voice, laced with killing intent, sounded out a moment later. "I need to repay you for how well you took care of me after my mother left me in your care at the Bureau of Magical Development all those years ago."

章節 230: The Rescue

Earth Land, Ishgar, Kingdom of Fiore, Worth Woodsea.

November, x784.

Shortly after Natsu rushed away from the rest of the allied wizards, he found himself entering the Worth Woodsea. While running between the trees, he continued to follow Happy's scent. Before he could get too far, however, he was stopped by what he assumed to be an entire dark guild.

"I don't know who you are, but you'd better get out of my way!" Natsu shouted, not slowing down in the slightest.

"Hmph!" The dark wizard with the highest level of magic power snorted in disdain. "Do you really think you can do anything to all of---"

"[Fire Dragon's Roar]!" Natsu chanted loudly as he took a deep breath.

A moment later, every member of the Dark Guild in front of Natsu was both engulfed in flames and blown away from Natsu's path.

"Oops…" Natsu muttered after looking at his handy work. "I forgot to ask if any of them know where Happy is."

"*Sigh* You never think, do you, Natsu?" Ur, who followed after Natsu shortly after he left with Ultear, said from behind him. "And if I leave you alone, the Worth Woodsea will cease to exist."

With that, Natsu turned towards the source of Ur's voice. At the same time, a gust of cold air blew over all the burning trees in the surroundings, putting out the fires quickly.

"Ur, Ultear, you followed me?" Natsu asked, having not been paying attention to anything other than his sense of smell.

"Of course, we did." Ultear said, rolling her eyes. "No matter how filled with the desire for revenge I am, I know it would be bad if you were allowed to burn down the forest."

"Yeah, Tear is right." Ur added. "So, she's gonna be going with you while you search for Happy."

"What about you, Mom?" Ultear asked curiously.

"There are a lot of presences spread around the forest." Ur replied. "I'm gonna go and thin their numbers a bit."

To anyone who could see her, even though Ur was smiling when she made that last statement, it was obvious that she was out for blood. And that smile was enough to cause someone like Natsu to take a step back subconsciously.

"Fine, let's go, Ultear." Natsu said, turning back towards the source of Happy's scent. "I can smell both Happy and Wendy in that direction."

Then, without waiting for a reply, Natsu dashed forward.

Shrugging her shoulders, Ultear was quick to follow. Meanwhile, Ur watched the two of them leave until she could no longer see them. Then, she closed her eyes with a bloodthirsty smile on her face.

"Brain, oh, Brain.' Ur said, her killing intent and leaking magic power making the air around her shake. "After I work off some of this excess anger, I'm coming for you. I can't have myself losing control while I make you pay for what you did."

A moment later, Ur opened her eyes and started moving towards the nearest group of cannon fodder dark wizards she could sense with her [Magic Power Detection].

At the same time, Ultear and Natsu continued running towards Happy and Wendy in a straight line. And as they drew nearer to their destination, the number of Dark Guild's that popped up in their path increased proportionally.

Eventually, after running through the Woodsea for a little over an hour and dispatching any dark wizards they came across, Ultear and Natsu found a heavily guarded cave that led into mountain wall.

"I think we've arrived." Ultear said, letting her eyes scan the dark wizards protecting the cave.

"Then, what are we waiting for?" Natsu asked curiously. "Let's get in there and save Happy."

"Don't worry, we will." Ultear said with a smile. "But I think I just saw an old acquaintance."

Hearing that, Natsu looked at Ultear skeptically. But after noticing that she was staring at someone, he followed her line of sight.

"Hey, isn't that Aragon the Sleeper?" Natsu asked after trying to remember where he had seen the man with spiky, silver hair Ultear was staring at.

With that, all the dark wizards under the silver-haired man's command fell silent with their eyes open wide. Recently, after being broken out of prison, their leader, Erigor the Reaper had made progress and was now undoubtedly an S-Class wizard.

"Ha! If it isn't a pair of Fairy flies." Erigor said from among the crowd of dark wizards. "This is perfect, I can finally get the revenge I've been waiting for. I'll make you pay for ruining my plans."

"[Ice Age]." Ultear chanted, already tired of the third-rate villain monologue coming out of Erigor's mouth.

"Freeze!*

As soon as Erigor finished speaking, the area around the cave was frozen over in an instant. Naturally, all the dark wizards, including Erigor were included.

"*Sigh* You were a small fry then and you're a small fry now." Ultear muttered. Then, with a slight blush, she continued. "Besides, I still never got to make you pay for interrupting Alfonzo and I at that time."

"Hey, Ultear, after the quest is over let's have a fight." Natsu said, excited to see how strong Ultear had become after the last time they sparred.

"I'll think about it." Ultear replied nonchalantly. "But if you can't even beat Gray, wouldn't fighting me be a waste of time?"

"What do you mean I can't beat Gray?" Natsu asked indignantly. "Hmph! I'll show you that the frozen pervert is no match for me, just you wait. After that, then you can have a fight with me."

"Sure, when you can beat Gray." Ultear replied with a smile.

'Good, now he should be focused on Gray. For a little while, at least.' Ultear thought to herself. 'Maybe I should even find a way to rope Lyon into this. Dealing with all of Natsu's challenges can get tiring, even if fighting him is fun in small doses.'

With those thoughts swirling in her head, Ultear followed Natsu into the cave and made their way through the tunnel system.

"If I had to guess, this is probably the Oración Seis's hideout." Ultear said, noticing that most of the tunnels and chambers they came across were man made, most-likely through the use of magic.

"Yeah, but now that we're in here, it's hard to pin-point where Happy is by his scent." Natsu said. "There are just too many directions where the scent is coming from."

"Well, considering how all these tunnels seem to be connected, it makes sense." Ultear replied with a nod. "Hold on, just give me a minute. Hopefully we're close enough that [Magic Power Detection] will work through all this rock."

Then, Ultear closed her eyes and spread out her magic power as thinly as she could. And just as she expected, all the rock was making it much more difficult to spread her magic power. Still, with the vast amount of magic power Ultear possessed, an amount that had surpassed Laxus, she was able to brute force it to the point that she was able to find Happy's magic power signature.

After locating Happy's magic power signature, Ultear opened her eyes with a smile on her face. Then, she pointed her finger directly at where she felt Happy to be.

"He's that way in a straight line." Ultear said, pointing Natsu in the right direction.

"Then, that makes this easy." Natsu said with a grin before taking a deep breath and channeling as much magic power as he could into his next spell. "[Fire Dragon's Roar]!"

With his chant, a column of flames was spewed from Natsu's mouth that melted the wall it came in contact with near instantly. However, it did not stop there, melting through the next wall just as easily.

Like that, Natsu continued to spew his magic power forward as he walked in a straight line in the direction Ultear pointed out only a moment ago. Meanwhile, Ultear followed Natsu, cooling off all the molten rock as she did.

After a few minutes, Ultear stopped Natsu. Then, she once again spread her [Magic Power Detection] to make sure that they were still going in the right direction. After feeling Happy's position, Ultear inspected the other signatures in the room, as well.

Ultear then nodded in satisfaction after feeling Wendy's signature.

'Good, I'll have Natsu take Wendy and Happy back to where Sorano is so that Wendy can look at her wounds.' Ultear thought to herself.

Then, Ultear noticed a familiar signature that she did not think should be here.

'Why is Jellal here?' Ultear questioned internally. 'How did he even get away from us after the Tower of Heaven incident? Oh well, I guess we can capture him, too. Then, we can get all the answers we need.'

Lastly, Ultear let her [Magic Power Detection] scan the last signature in the room. And when she felt it, Ultear smiled savagely before opening her eyes.

"Natsu, Happy's in the chamber behind this wall." Ultear said in a solemn tone, though the savage smile never left her face. "Wendy's there, too. So, I don't think we should melt through the wall. Instead, I want you to burst through the wall to create an opening for us to save them."

'And an opening for me to attack that damn Brain.' Ultear thought simultaneously.

"After breaking through the wall, take Wendy and Happy back to where the others are." Ultear continued. "She can heal Sorano's injuries."

"Got it." Natsu said excitedly as he smashed his fists together. Then, he sprinted toward the wall with his fist reeled back as he chanted his next spell. "[Fire Dragon's Iron Fist]."

*Boom!*

In the next instant, Natsu's fist, covered in flames, slammed into the wall in front of him as it exploded, a new entrance forming on impact.

"Happy! We're here!" Natsu shouted through the dust cloud.

All though Natsu could not see into the chamber through the dust, with the new hole in the wall, he could smell Happy very clearly. So, without hesitation, he rushed into the chamber through the new hole in the wall.

"Brain is here, too." Ultear said cheerfully as she started amassing magic power to cast a spell. "I need to repay you for how well you took care of me after my mother left me in your care at the Bureau of Magical Development all those years ago."

A moment later, Natsu burs through the dust cloud his punch created, making a B-line for Happy.

Instead of trying to stop Natsu, however, brain turned his attention to Jellal.

"That man is a member of the guild who caused your carefully laid plans to fail." Brain said, pointing his staff at Natsu. Go and kill him. The revenge should be sweet."

Jellal, on the other hand, looked at Brain with confusion swirling in his eyes. A moment later, he ignored Brain and continued scanning the area.

Meanwhile, Brain, after being ignored was livid.

"Did you not understand my words?" Brain asked in an irritated tone. "Go take your revenge."

"[Ice-Make: Gatling Gun]." Ultear chanted from the other side of the wall.

Frowning at the tone Brain was using to speak to him, Jellal flared his magic power. Then, he cast an [Earth Magic] spell as to rid himself of the annoyance. At the same time, the sound of barrels whirling could be heard from the hole in the wall.

A moment later, a hole opened up in the floor right under Brain, dropping him to one of the lower levels of the Oración Seis's hideout. At the same time, dozens of small ice projectiles soared through the spot where Brain stood just a moment before.

"Damn it!" Ultear shouted angrily as she stomped the floor. "[Ice Make: Floor]."

A moment later, a path of ice was created leading from Ultear's current position to the hole in the floor that Brain fell through. Then, Ultear propelled herself forward before jumping into the hole with her [Gatling Gun] pointed downward.

"Don't think you can get away from me, Brain!" Ultear shouted as she fell.

A moment later, the sound of the whirling barrels restarted. The sound of magical combat following shortly.

Meanwhile, Natsu had just untied Happy.

"Hey, how ya doin', Little Buddy." Natsu asked while hugging Happy tightly. "They didn't hurt you, did they?"

"A little, but I'm fine." Happy replied, hugging Natsu back. "But more importantly, that's Jellal Fernandes. We need to capture him, too. That Brain guy said he wants him to lead the Oración Seis to whatever it is they were looking for."

"Well, we can't have that now, can we?" Natsu asked, letting happy go. Then, he turned towards Jellal. "Sorry buddy, but you're coming with us!"

With that, Natsu sprinted towards Jellal with his fist reeled back and covered in flames. Before he could get in striking distance, however, Jellal was covered in a cloak of [Star Light Magic] before he sent a blast of magic power that sent Natsu flying on impact.

*Bang!*

A moment later, Natsu crashed into one of the intact walls, leaving spider-web cracks on impact. Jellal, on the other hand, did not even give Natsu a second glance before he started walking towards the cave's exit.

"Ow! That hurt!" Natsu said as he picked himself up from the floor.

Ready to rush back into combat against Jellal, Natsu was stopped when Ultear's shout, that was louder than the battle on the lower floor, could be heard.

"Natsu, Jellal is not a priority right now!" Ultear shouted. "Take Happy and Wendy back to the others. We need her to heal Sorano!"

"Oh yeah…" Natsu said with a sheepish smile on his face. "I almost forgot."

With that, Natsu quickly ran to grab Happy and Wendy before he ran through the path he crated to get to this chamber with Ultear. Then, once he was out of the hideout, he ran back the way he came with Happy and Wendy in his arms.
