---TO natsu  carla hana and gray-------

"this is the place!?" natsu wondered skidding to a stop as they reach the edge of the cliff.

"yeah i sense  wendy she somewhere in that cave" hana said while pointing at the cave.

"HAPPY!!!! WENDY!!!!" natsu shouted at the top of his lungs. gray hit natsu on the back of his head.

"shhhh!!!" hana told natsu.  

"not so loud there may be enemy's around!!" carla scolds nastu.

----inside the cave-----

"Happy!!! wendy!!!!!"

" it natsu!!!" happy cheered his face brightenting.

everyone looks towards the entrance. everyone but wendy who had tears in her eyes as she looked at jellal.

" piece of trash... racer take care of them."  brain ordered.

" gotcha" racer said he races at top speed towards the unsuspecting duo. in one swift movement he punched them hard to the ground

"guahhh!!!" they shouted in surprise.

" Leave this guy to me!! you head down there natsu!!" gray said getting into a fighting stance.

"right!" natsu nodded truning around.

"not going to happen." racer says from the tree he was in.

"carla, hana  use your wings now!!" natsu looked at the cats only to see them knocked out. "AHH!"

" ah... well try this on for size!!" gray shouts as a ice  aura surrounds his fist. just as racer was about to take off gray froze the truck of the tree and the ground making racer slid and fall

he then made a slide down into the village.

"let's go!!"   natsu grabbed carla and hana and started down the slide

"HUH!? what!?"

"why you....  you  stopped me in my tracks" racer snarls pushing up his sunglasses.

" really it looked like you just tripped to me." gray says cockliy.

"uggg" natsu groans as they  touched the ground. 

" your sick?!" carla said in disbelief.

  natsu shook his head before cupping his hands around his mouth

" Happy!!!!  Wendy!!!!" natsu shouted

" Natsu~~~" they turned around to see a hole in one of the walls. there was tons of yelling from inside though it was barely audible inside from where they stood.

" in there.." carla  and hana starts to fly over there with there wings.

" happy!!" natsu shouted running over there

 as they  appear at the entrance of the cave they stare in shock at the scene in front of them

" oh my god...." hana said

" this can't be!!" carla yells

" wh.... what's going on?" natsu says his eyes wide in shock.

" this can't be!!" carla gasps her eyes wide.

"wh.... what's going on?" natsu asks his eyes wide as well

"ah....  I'm so sorry..." wendy cried tears running down her face brain looks at them with a evil smirk.

 " wendy are you okay!?" hana said 

" i'm so  sorry" wendy continued to  cry

" natsu!!" happy murmers laying on the ground with tears threatening to come out.

" I'm so.. so.. sorry.." wendy rubs her eyes " i own this man a huge debt.."

" wendy did you use healing magic!?  what were you thinking !? " carla starts  to scowl wendy sudden fell   to the ground in front of jellal.  

jellal stood by brain looking at natsu with an unreadable expression

"jellal.." natsu growls

"wendy!!" carla and hana shout.

natsu shook with rage fire appearing around him. he clenched his teeth.

" wh.. what are you doing here?" he suddenly speed towards jellal with his fist raised. "JELLALL!!!!"

jellal slides his ords towards the oncoming dragon slayer in one swif movement he cast a spell hitting natsu dead on he hits the wall hard making a dent.

"Argh!!" natsu groans in pain.

"natsu!!" happy cries out.

"jellal i see your power is impressive as ever." brain says casually as if the time apart never happened.

jellal looks over at brain with an expressionless face. brain stumbled back in surprise as jellal swipes his hand from  right to left causing  the floor under brain to disappear.

"What!?." brain yells as he falls down  into the blackness. happy let out a whimper as he stood next to wendy and hana happy put his paws on wendy's hair. jellal whips his eyes around staring at happy and wendy , hana

happy and hana were both stareing at jellal  as he stared back. jellal left the cave 

" jellal!" nastu pops up from the rocks that covered him carla shook in shock as jellal disappeared from sight.

" where is he!?" natsu snarled standing next to carla

"why that little..." natsu growled

" i do not know who was that man but surely recovering wendy and that tomcat is a priority right now" carla rose up a  paw pointing at wendy and happy. natsu trembled in rage his hand curled in a tight fist.

" Do you WANT to save erza or not!?" carla snaps natsu looked at her panic was on his face.

" Ok fine!" he shouts before heading where  wendy and happy , hana 

" hana help me carry wendy" carla said   while picking up wendy " ok" hana  said  helping carla

" Lets go happy!!" natsu said to the blue cat

"Aye Sir!"

 they flew quickly out of the cave happy carrying natsu and  carla and hana carrying wendy

---------- back at the cave------

brain climbs his way out of the hole which was not that deep.

" this i did not account for... not ... i suppose this was my own fault for not preparing any restraints. " said while brain looks up at the ceiling. "still...he never used to posses this level of hostility towards me i am sure of it" his eyes widen.

" was he able  to overhear our conversation of nirvana in his unconscious state?" he slams the bottom of his staff on the floor.

"Damn you jallel Do you mean to keep nirvana to yourself!?  YOU shall not it belongs to us!! i will never surrender it to anyone!!"   he takes a deep breath before yelling " Coba!!!! can you hear me!? jellal has fled Go after him where ever he goes is where nirvana hides!!!

somewhere in the forest coba and his snake stopped cobra ear twitched slightly before he grinned "gotcha lound and clear and i can hear jellal foot steps as well." his pet snake ficks his tongue in and out.

-------- gray and racer------------

gray  clicked his tongue as racer pushes him into a  wall harshly. in a swift movement he rolls out of the way to avoid racer's punch. a dent was on the ground where gray stood. racer apears and disappears just as quick racer  quickly climbs the trees stopping on a branch further up.

" his speed  is insane...... damn .. it" gray curses

" my code name is racer. faster then anybody faster then anything. running is what i do" he pushes up his glasses.

they both look up in  surprise as they were hearing something it was natsu and hana  talking to each other the flying cats  hana and carla were holding wendy.

up  with natsu, wendy and the flying cats they talked to each other.

" so  whats kagome and wendy dragon  name?" natsu asked 

"kagome was at first was raised by the water dragon make Aqua then she was raise by  grandine wendy mother" hana said

" so kagome had two dragons!?"

"  not really kagome first mother Aqua left kagome with  wendy mother then grandine adopted kagome as her  child."  carla  said

" Natsu watch out!!!" natus look down to see gray

" in one second happy carla and hana were punched out of the sky. natsu was also punched acrossed the cheek. 

"ugh!" natsu groans as they fall towards the ground he notices wendy still falling quickly crawls over to her catches her. " happy carla hana!!" natsu shouts getting up running over to the trio natu picks up the passed out cats and makes a run for it.

" i thought i told you you're not going anywhere!!" racers shouts racing towards them.

"Ice... make.." gray puts his fist in his plam. "Rampart!!" a thick ice- blue wall grew from the grow causing racer to  run straight into. natsu stopping. nastu eyes widen in shock as the wall grew higher then the tree and stopped at least a mile out.

"gray.." natsu breathed in surprise. gray put his hand on his knees sweat dripping down on his face as he pants in exhaustion.

" go on ahead natsu.. like i said i was gonna handle this guy.."

nastu shifted wendy as well " but  you surely used up a lot of magic just now with that attack just now!" nastu said

"just get a move on already dumbass..." gray said with his arms raised up  "I'll stop this guy even if i die in the attempt  Now Go Erza is waiting!!!"

" HaaaaH!!~~~ i will save Erza no matter what!!" natsu yelled back as he started to run.

 " why you" racer stood a few feet away from gray hand on ice with his head bowed. " thats twice you've stop me in my tracks now."

" I'll stop you as many times as i have to. ice can stop anything in live it's on tracks," gray had a cocky smirk on his face as he look at racer "and you're always going to be a step behind. stuck there staring at fairy tail's" racer clenched his teeth.

-------------------------------------- somewhere in the forest----------------------------------------------------------

jellal stopped in his tracks an held out his hand a yellow glow surrounds it as he closed his eyes he murmured something softly

"erza...."

--------- with natsu happy carla and hana-----------------

" jellal.... that asshole... what is he doing in a place like this?" nastu grumbled. hana started to wake up .

" ugg.. that pin nosed dude i swear...." hana groan natsu turned his graze towards hana " Oi your a wake?" natsu asked the pink cat " yes .... where are we?" hana said to the pink haired boy.

" uh we are in the middle of the forest..?" natsu said with  no clue hana sighs.

" natsu-kun"

"that voice.." natsu murmured

" nastu what wrong?" hana asked but natsu did't reply

" it me... hibiki of blue pegasus"where Erza laid with lucy watching out for her and kagome taking a break from easing erza's pain hibiki was typing something on the ' archive magic he used. " thank goodness... i was getting worried since i wasn't getting through to anyone."

"where are you!?" natsu shouted causing hana to sweatdrop

" who  in the name of living fish paste is  he talking to!?" hana thought laying on nastu shoulders.

"Keep it down one of our enemies has good hearing that's why I'm speaking directly into your head. there 's even a possibilty he eavesdropping on our conversation right now." hibiki stopped to type something before speaking again.

" what's the situation with wendy-chan?"

" i got her right here" natsu  said

" I'm going to give you a map that"ll show you where  we are please hurry back kagome can't stop the  poison from speading. hibiki pressed something before a blue bar appeared above nastu's head. it quicky filled golden.

" what do you...." natsu trailed off before looking excited " woah what 's this!?" natsu ran off 

" natsu what's going on!?" hana said

" it like there a map in my head i know where Erza is It's like i knew along!!"

" i swear these people going to drive me up to cat nip.... great now i am sounding like carla" hana thought with a small sigh.

----------- with kagome hibiki and Lucy-----------------------

Lucy looked over to hibiki as he let out a tired sigh.

" how did you do that" Lucy wondered. kagome and plue looked at hibiki as well.

"my magic 'Archive' deals with compression of information. it allows me to transfer information from person to person more quickly than it would be in a verbal conversation."

" i  never heard about magic like that.." lucy said

hibiki looked at lucy. "well the concept using magic to covert information into data is a relatively is a recent one.

" will it good to here that my sister is safe..." kagome said leading  on the truck of  tree  Lucy smiled a bit before looking at erza her eyes clouded in concern as she saw the purple hue spreading towards' neck. sweat dripping off her face as if it was hot.

" just a little longer i know you can do it erza until natsu gets back  I'll protect you. I promise!."

------------- with gray----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"you stopped me in my tracks not once but twice... At this rate my name will forever be sullied." racer said. gray watched him with narrow eyes when he suddenly disappeared. his eyes widen in panic.

" if i  felt like it i could catch up to those two brats right not... But i won't be satisfied  now till i kill You" racer said appearing behind gray.

" Not happening!!!" gray shouted turning around  only to see  on one there.

" it shouldn't be any trouble to kill you then catch up" racer said appearing a feet few away from gray.

"when did he!?"gray thought  as he turned towards racer

" Dead Grand Prix!!" racer shouted raising his arm up. "begin!!" A rumble surrounded  gray and racer.

racer dropped his arm to the ground. in a flash a motorcycle bursts  through the bushes. "wha...!??!!?" gray shouted in shock before getting hit in the face with a tire.

" A horde of magic motor cycles!!" gray shouted before falling back 

"A motor show from hell" racer said.

gray continued to try and dodge the motorcycles before getting punched by racer.

" Dance!!" racer said before hopping on a bike. "Huh..... you can ride those things?" gray asked

Suddenly a bike rushes by without a thought gray hopped on. racer looks back his eyes widen in surprise. " Its got a SE plug and everything ..." gray mused putting on the bracelet like things be fore taking the handles of the motorcycle. " Let do this thing!" gray shouted .Racer looked amused

"how amusing" racer said with a grin. "you mean challenge me to  a Race?"

" i don't bother with rules so you better be ready!!!" gray shouted in a swift movement gray makes the bike go faster till he was a few feet from Racer ' bike.

Ice Make: Lance!!!!

tons of ice shards fly towards racer. he quickly doges through the trees making the shards hit the tree bark. not looking behind him racer puts a glowing gold hand behind him. tries appear out of nowhere making gray take sharp turns to avoid a crash.

"GaH!!! Tires!?!" gray looked to his right and sees racer next to him. racer smirks before kicking at his bike. gray growls lowly before noticing a tunnel ahead of them.

he quickly turns to where he was now riding on a wall. Alook of surprise goes on gray face as racer appears next to gray before swerving and hitting gray's bike. it makes gray spin out of control.

"UGH!!" Gray clutches his handle bars tightly turning his knuckles white.

" What's wrong Ladykiller?" racer said on the roof above him head towards the exit.

"this is for... Erza! i can't afford to lose!!!" gray said with an determined look on his face as he speeds after racer they are both air born for a second before racing on ground again.

Not to far away gray sees two figures. you could tell one was a man and the other was a woman they turn towards the direction of the rumbling causing realization come across his face.

"Lyon!!!!"

Lyon looks in shock as gray runs at them at full speed sherry watching to two.

 "Gray!!"

"And the Oracion Seis!!" sherry shouts " Great timing !!! Get on!!" gray yells closing in on the duo.

 "What?" Lyon asks in disbelief. "just get on alright!?" without saying  anything else lyon grabbed  the back on the bike before swinging himself to  where he was siting behind gray.

"what on Earth are you playing at !?"Lyon said with a growl.

 A faint  Lyon-sama was heard but neither of them looked back. sherry huffed before running after them.

" where's wendy?!" Lyon ask. " Don't worry natsu got her!!" gray shouts back his eyes on racer. "anyways i was wondering if you can take out that guy for me It's a pain in the ass to use magic and drive!!" gray asked. Racer must of overhead them since he looked back and smirked "Heh..".

"Oh~! if that what you're after then just sit back and watch. I'll show you how a real a mage works!" Lyon said cockily.

" Don't piss me .. off.." gray growls before looking at Lyon in shock

"Ice Make..." he was using both of his hands this time.An images of Lyon at the island where Deilora rested appeared. "i see your still  using two hands to cast your magic"

"your using.. two hands.." gray stared at him with wide eyes. Lyon smiled a bit eyes foused on Racer "that's how Ur taught us isn't it?" lyon said to gray.

Gray smiles back before looking forward.

" Eagles!!!"  tons of eagles fly towards racer and hits his bike  head on. "what!?"

in a quick movement racer jumps off his bike before it explodes

"alright playtime is over!!"

Gray's and Lyon smiles are wiped clean of there faces as Racer run towards them. there bike is destroyed before the could say any thing. in mid air the two mages put a fist  in there plam's.

" Ice make: Ape!!"

"Hammer!!"

they shouted at the same time as there two spells are cast. A huge ape hits where racer once was and a hammer follows but racer simply bounces off the ice.

" I can't hit him!!" gray said

"Clam down!! He's 4'o' clock!!"  Lyon orders surely enough they could tell someone was quickly Zig-zag towards them. " If we concentrate we should be able to hit him!!" Lyon states smirking at gray.

"concentrate huh? Right!!"

suddenly gray and lyon took off there shirts making flutter behind them they both get in a fight stance about to cast a spell, back-toback .

"let's do this! Lyon!!" gray shouts. 

" fire on my mark and don't hold back!!"

"why are they stripping?" racer thinks sweat dropping a bit. "why are they removing there clothes?" sherry thinks while looking at the duo.

" NOW Fifty meters!! ahead!!" Lyon orders.

"Got Him!!"

"Ice  Geyser!!"

"Snow Dragon!!"

the two spells cast making the ice shine bright. but they did't hit racer it seems racer had suddenly got faster.

Lyon's eyes widen in surprise before a flock of brids catches his attention. "He's gotten faster!!" sherry yells in shock. "Wha-" gray was cut off as racer appeared behind him hitting both in there backs the two went flying.

Sherry hands flew up to her mouth as the boys roll a few feet away. " so strong .. so this is the power of Oracion Seis" sherry thinks she trembles slightly.

Racer stood there with a foot behind him he stands up with a smirk "you punks couldn't hit me even if you spend your whole lives tring. nobody can keep up with my speed." racer said.

gray and Lyon slowly stood up as well. gray narrow his eyes.

gray crouched down slighly getting ready for his next attack.

"Listen up gray" said lyon

"i found his weakness"
