Planning with Erza

"Where did you send them?" asks Lucy.

"They are at the Guild Hall. Can't have them here when those black tentacles can touch them," says Jack as he opens another portal and says, "It would be the best to see how the others are doing."

They pass through the portal and find Erza and Jura. They were fighting against Hoteye until he got hit by a black tentacle and was now hugging Jura out of nowhere.

"Everything alright or do you need a room you two?" says Jack making fun of Jura while Lucy and the others were holding their laugh back.

"Why are you here didn't everyone have someone to fight against?" says Jura, who was trying to free himself when Jack walks over and helps him.

"You are really strong," says Jura realizing that Jack just used his arms instead of his whole body to free him from Hoteye.

"Magic alone won't make you strong. You need some physical strength. Now let me put a rune on his body and sent him away from here," says Jack as he puts a rune on Hoteye's body and sent him to the Guild Hall.

"Where did you send him?" asks Jura seriously.

"You are the second that asks that. Lucy tell him where they are," says Jack as he walks towards Erza and heals her first before healing Jura, who got his answer from Lucy.

Jack opens a portal and they arrive at the next battlefield finding Natsu and one of the Blue Pegasus members fighting against Cobra.

"Another Dragon Slayer. I really am thinking that they are to many of them around for a Lost Magic type. I was surprised by two that are in our guild. But now Wendy is one too and that Cobra too. It seems like they aren't something special," says Jack as he looks at how they are fighting.

"We should help," says Jura as he wants to join the fight to end it faster when Jack grabs him by the collar.

"Don't interfere. Let them fight it will help Natsu and the other guy to gain experience in fighting enemies stronger than them," says Jack as he sees Natsu enjoying the fight against Cobra.

Cobra then uses his mount and Jack says, "It seems Natsu needs some help. Happy how about you help Natsu."

"Aye," says Happy as he flies off to join Natsu while Jack brings the other guy to his side and begins to heal him from the poison and later his wounds.

"Do you still feel pain somewhere?" asks Jack as he looks after the guy.

"I can still fight," says the guy.

Jack smiles and says, "You will get your opportunity later." Then he stands up and walks towards Erza and Jura while saying, "I have a question to our S-rank Mages here. Does the name Jellal Fernandez ring a bell to you two?"

Erza and Jura open their eyes wide. Then Jura looks towards Erza and Jack could just with the look on the face of Erza find out she and that Jellal had a history. Lucy somehow also knew that Jellal and Jack says, "Alright, it seems you have some history with him. What happened?"

"He is- was my childhood friend. He should be dead since the fight against Natsu on the Tower of Heaven. I don't know how you got that name?" says Erza with a sad face.

"It's because the Oracion Seis are trying to revive him," says Jack dropping a bomb.

"What do you mean revive," says Jura angry.

"Like I said. Revive meaning they want a breathing living man. Don't know what you were thinking right now but they want to use Nirvana to get him," says Jack as he sees Natsu and Happy gain the upper hand in the fight.

"We can't let this happen," says Jura seriously.

"Why not maybe it will destroy this Nirvana," says Jack.

"He is a danger for all of us. He infiltrated the Magic Council and destroyed it with the ultimate magic Etherion," says Jura while Jack was looking at Erza who was split into two it seemed.

"You alright there?" asks Jack worried about Erza.

"You here to make fun of me," says Erza, who knows Jack isn't interested in anyone except for Levy and the Master.

"I'm serious here. You don't look so good wanna talk under four eyes?" says Jack as he prepares to use a barrier.

"Why are you so nice now? Were you hit by one of the tentacles?" asks Erza seriously worried about Jack right now.

"Trust me, I just wanted to finish the things that are holding me here as fast as possible even if I was a bad guy. But if Kara would see how I'm acting she would bash me for being unsocial to everyone. Now you are seeing how I would normally be around a comrade. So wanna talk?" says Jack when Erza nods and Jack erects a barrier that surrounds both.

"Now what is bothering you?" asks Jack.

"I really don't know how I should feel with Jellal being revived. I always have this feeling when I see him," says Erza making Jack realize something.

"So you are in love with this Jellal right. I should have brought Venom with me. He has more experience in this matter. But let me see the problems in this situation," says Jack making Erza blush hard.

"I'm not in love with him," says Erza with a straight face that betrayed her.

"There is no denying in this matter. We can't choose who we fall in love with. It happens and we have to deal with it. Even I have fallen in love with two women and both can share me as I share them with each other. It natural you can fight that feeling but you won't outrun it. You could even fall sick from it so it's better to just acknowledge it," says Jack explaining to Erza.

"If I accept those feeling I would become a traitor?" asks Erza making Jack laugh.

"No, why would you be a traitor just because you love someone. Then I had to be one too. I have fallen in love with a thieving kitty and I'm together with her. She still steals information once in a while but I can stop her since it is in her nature to do that. You can always try to change your partner and make him better. But I think you didn't tell me everything about Jellal, am I right," says Jack as he smiles.

"He got possessed by a Demon when we were younger. It was in the Tower of Heaven. We were slaves building the tower back then. They took him for some ritual and from then on he changed," says Erza telling Jack everything.

'So possessed by a Demon. Constantine and Lucifer showed me how to deal with Demon that should be easy,' thinks Jack as he says, "If he gets revived I will take care of the Demon. I have some experience with Demons."

"You sure about this?" asks Erza seriously.

"Pretty much we just have to waste time so Jura can't interfere in this matter until Jellal gets revived," says Jack as he looks at Jura thinking about to knock him out.

"Don't think about something dangerous. He is one of the Ten Wizard Saints. If something happens to him the other nine could get involved and Fairy Tail would have to take the blame for it and disband," says Erza warning Jack.

"What if I get hit by one of the tentacles and do as I'm possessed like you enemy before," says Jack.

"That could work but are you ready to enter prison for me and the others," says Erza.

"Not for you but for the old man I would. He reminds me of my father," says Jack as he looked at the tentacle that was in sight.

"Don't do something foolish," says Erza as she looks in the direction Jack is looking.

"We don't know maybe they let me go free if they don't find anything wrong with me any longer," says Jack as he prepared to fly to a tentacle.

"Don't do it," says Erza now in an angry tone.

"Alright, but I will open a portal and send Jura to the starting point it will give us some time," says Jack as his free hand opens a portal and send Jura to where the Alliance met while putting the barrier down.

"Where did you send him?" asks Lucy who doesn't know what Erza and Jack were talking about.

"He is fine. I just send him where we all started. We need him as far away as possible," says Jack as he walks to the Blue Pegasus member and puts him to sleep with magic.

"It seems Natsu is done here," says Jack as he disappears and appears beside Cobra and puts a seal on both him and his pet and sends them to the Guild Hall. Then he heals Natsu before opening a portal and putting the Blue Pegasus member on his shoulder as they pass through the portal finding something wrong going on with Gray fighting against the other two Lamia Scales members with Midnight.

"Something is wrong with Gray," says Natsu as he sees Gray fighting his childhood friend and rival.

"Maybe he got hit by one of the tentacles," says Erza worried.

"Natsu how about you take care of Gray while Lucy and Wendy help the other two with Midnight," says Jack.

"What about me?" asks Carla.

"You can join them of course," says Jack as he opens another portal and says, "I and Erza will help the other three with the last enemy."

Erza and Jack pass through the portal with the Blue Pegasus member and find the other three surrounding the last member of the Oracion Seis but they weren't fighting but conversation while the girl was feeling quite uncomfortable around them.

"What is going on here. I thought we would interrupt your fight but it seems you aren't even fighting," says Jack as he puts the sleeping guy down.

The girl runs to Erza's side and hides behind her. Then she tells them that she was more of a pet than really a member of the Oracion Seis and that's why there was no reason for her to fight them once she was separated by them.

"So you were just a pet right. Then we should protect her right?" asks Jack looking at Erza.

"We can put a good word for her saying she was forced to do the things but she would need to convince the council or at least have a Wizard Saint protect her," says Erza.

"What about the old man?" asks Jack.

"It would be better to convince Jura than the master since Jura would be neutral. Or at least I hope so after your stunt," says Erza as Jack opens a portal back to the other battlefield.

"We should return to the others then," says Jack as he passes the portal to return to see Natsu fighting Gray while Midnight was already defeated by the little group.

"It seems we haven't missed much here," says Jack as he puts a rune on Midnight and send him also the Guild Hall when he got an idea and uses light to blind everyone and send the girl with Midnight to the Guild Hall with a note on her back.

When the light vanished Erza asks, "Where did she go?"

"Maybe she used the distraction to escape," says Jack.

"Then she played us," says Erza angry now.

"Maybe, but let me stop those two," says Jack as he rushes at both and knocks Gray out and throws him through a tentacle hoping it would make him normal again.

He catches Gray then on the other side and puts him down. Then they feel the earth shake and the tentacles solidified themselves and became legs attached to a base that had like an eye in the middle.
