Barry stood in fear as the man approached him.

'What do I do? He has crushed all my ...'  Barry cut himself short with a sigh of relief as he spotted another teleportation jar behind the man.

"Bartholomew Kirk, I do not want to kill you so go home." The man said.

"No! Not after you did that!" Barry yelled at the man. Wasting no time, Barry teleported in front of the jar

As the man's saw Barry disappear, the realisation of the fact that he did not destroy all the jars hit him.

Barry's hand sizzled revealing sparks of purple lightening as he spoke to the man.

"Even if it means me killing you, I'll get Erza's scroll and John's eyes so don't tell me any piece of crap!" Barry yelled at the man. The black haired boy gave the man no time to react before he took action. Barry threw the last jar up waiting for it to reach a satiable altitude.

Gaining an aerial advantage over the man, Barry lifted us his sizzling hand conjuring lightning from the sky. The sound of a single sizzle was followed by an eerie silence before the lightning spread causing the place to glow with a purple hue.

Barry landed with a thud, his exhaustion finally taking a toll on him. He glanced over the man's burnt and electrified body.

Moving forward to bind the man and take him for interrogation, what could be described s Barry's worst nightmare happened.

"So you thought that was enough to kill me." The man said as he stood slowly.

Barry's eyes grew wide in fear, he wanted to run and hide till backup comes but fear and exhaustion held his legs.

"Scroll art; silhouette." The man chanted his incant.

Barry could only see the man's silhouette due to the fact that the technique summons a thick fog allowing the opponent to only see their silhouette.

Barry was having a hard time predicting the man's movement but still countered the man's attack out of reflex. After a while the man dispelled the technique and sighed.

"If you don't want to go back, I'm afraid I'll have to kill you." The man said having a hint of sadness in his voice, he had a soft spot for Barry and did not want to kill him but if the current battle drags on any further, he will be a bother so the man steeled his resolve all his feelings aside.

The man started mumbling his incant, with each word he said Barry grew weaker and weaker till he had no kekai to use for defence.

"Gin gan nomo!" The man yelled both completing the incant and perfecting the technique he was about to use on Barry.

A loud scream was heard from Barry, the said boy felt as if a million swords were being pierced into his body and soon enough he began bleeding then he fell.

'So this is how my story ends, I'm pathetic, letting myself get killed like that. Now I will take my place among the great mist.' Barry gave his last thoughts as he his spirit left his body.
