Chapter 13: Jellal

A bright light encompassed our vision. The ground was shaking and winds carrying dust blew past us. In front of us stood a blue-haired man in a long coat.

Erza was shaken. "Jellal." Her voice was staid. It sounded indifferent, but her body was trembling a little.

"Erza." his magnetic voice sounded solemn. I stood to the side and watched over Cobra. I let them have their moment. I didn't want him to interfere; Sparky and his snake are fighting, we stared at each other; it was like were in one of those Wild West Duels. We fought earlier, but our attacks tied.

She walked forward, "Now tell me, how did you end up here?" It was a demand and it sounded shaky. "I can't answer that. Erza!... Who is-... That? I have no memory, and yet I remember that name." He covered his face with both his hands and started trembling. "I don't know who I am! Or where I came from! Can you tell me? Do you know?! At least tell me who Erza is! If you know please tell me!" The desperation in his voice as he said those words. I could tell he wasn't mentally stable.

'Is this what God meant? He lost his memories and he was holding many emotions just from remembering a name. If he didn't keep his mental stability in check he can go berserk... He knows that name holds importance. Though what if he had those emotions and didn't remember anything. If he had seen something that brought forth emotions to its extreme such as, anger, sadness, or lust. Without comprehending the reason for it, wouldn't the person go insane?'

"Oh, Jellal..." She mutters. Her eyes glistened, as she held back the tears from her eyes. "Jellal." She walked forward. "Stay back!" he fired light magic at her and it exploded on impact. She had a few wounds, but it was minor. "Alright, then you come to me! I'm the person you're looking for. I am Erza!... and you are Jellal. There was a time we were close friends." she was angry and I knew why.

"We were?" He didn't trust her completely, as he was still cautious.

"Yes.." and she listed off his crimes and how he became crazy. He was crying while Erza was yelling at him, "If you try... If you even dare forget the pain you cause!... I'll take my sword to your heart and engrave it there!" she was gritting her teeth, and her anger was boiling.

"I did that to my comrades? What have I done?... Please no-... Tell me it's not true. Tell me- How can I make amends?" He was choking in the midst of his sobs, as he was holding his head with his hand.

[Ding! Bond had been killed! [23:59]]

I see Cobra still standing in front of me and Cublleios who was flying in the distance.

'Sparky lost...' The ground beneath me cracked. My magic power, haki, and bloodlust went haywire, and I didn't want to control it anymore. I needed to vent my anger onto someone.

[Body Control] is a skill I used every second of the day. I used to destroy the wooden floors at home whenever I placed my foot down. I promised the old man that I would keep my power controlled, as he feared me scaring away customers. I also didn't like the idea of bad people trying to covet me for being strong; Instead of power, I became known through my incredible looks, singing, and baking. People thought I'd be the perfect husband if I was powerful. Of course, rumors spread that I was a magic genius due to my precise control of magic. Many didn't believe it; people thought my magic power was low and because of that, it was easier to control.

However, this was the time I should have made an exception. I was too used to peace. If I did this sooner, Sparky wouldn't have been killed. Everyone felt my magic signature spike and the people closest to me kneeled due to the thick bloodlust I emitted.

"How dare you." A katana with a purple handle appeared in my hand and my outfit changed into black and white robes.

"Requip magic? No, wait- it felt different from that." Erza was confused and shocked at how I became so angry all of a sudden. The sword dropped to the ground, and as if the floor was water a small ripple formed; the sword slowly sank in.

Cobra was stilled dazed by my magic power spiking and didn't notice he was surrounded by huge blades sticking out of the ground, it appeared as if it was all an illusion.

"Bankai. Senbonzakura Kageyoshi." The two rows of blades illuminated a pink vibrant color and turned into a dense stream of cherry petals. Beautiful arcs were made as it went toward Cobra.

"What is this magic?" Jellal muttered. Cobra felt danger and tried to avoid the attack. He jumped up and what shocked everyone was when the attack landed. The ground was cut into big chunks, then into pieces, and finally into dust. A big hole, the size of a pond; where Cobra used to stand.

Armament Haki. I was scared of using it at first because I could destroy everything when it reached max level. I promised myself I would only use it to defend myself from attacks and I didn't have enough practice to control myself to not kill anyone. After all, I don't know how sturdy people can be, and I don't want to accidentally cut someone in half.

"How do you have such power... impossible..." Cobra was at his wit's end. The power he witnessed was despair-inducing. Cubellios swooped in and held onto Cobra before he fell to the ground.

There were cherry petals scattered in the air. The scene looked beautiful, yet they felt a knife next to their neck. The petals gathered together again, and Cobra had to do something as being in the air limited his movement.

"Poison Dragon's... ROAR!" The attack directly hit the petals, but it did absolutely nothing. "Cubellios take us away from here!" he was helpless as he couldn't do anything. The petals surrounded him. He saw Kaden in front of him, flying in the air with wind magic. The petals turned into three rows of glowing pink swords.

"Massacre Scene, Senbonzakura Kageysohi." Kaden pointed his katana toward Cobra. Erza was amazed, she took inspiration when she saw this kind of magic.

Jellal quickly dabbled with the pillar of dark light and they could see magic runes. "What is that? What are you planning to do!" Cobra yelled, he was confused because he couldn't hear anything in their heads. Though he knew if he moved an inch he would be cut down; he felt death looming over him.

"I plan to sacrifice myself in order to destroy Nirvana."Jellal calmly stated. There were magical runes on his body.

A/N: Thank you for supporting my story!

I recently wrote a novel called, "Indulged By My Childhood Friend" I'd appreciate it if you could kindly read it. The prologue is the only thing uploaded and no new chapters will come out until I'm halfway finished with this FF. After the Oracion Seis Arc, I'm planning to revise this FF. There will be filler chapters coming out after, but the upload times will take more days. There won't be any more flashbacks, instead, I decided to make a new volume after the final arc. Filling all plotholes.
