Y/n's POV
We thought that everything was finished when I sensed that Er-Chan has defeated Midnight-San. But apparently, I was wrong.
A sudden wave of energy was released from the unconscious Brain, and he changed into a different person.
He was scary and even I felt scared and intimidated by his presence alone.
"Y/n. Be careful." Kent-San pushed me behind him and got into his fighting stance.
Fire and ice lit up on both his hands.
It's so beautiful.... I wish I had learnt this type of magic before.... I always thought that Kent-San's magic was beautiful and powerful.
Maybe Natsu-San and Gray-San can learn to communicate with each other, and actually work together! Then they'd be unbeatable!
"Ahem.... Y/n. You okay?" Jura-San asked.
I blushed as I realized that I had stars in my eyes and shook my head as a no.
"I'm fine. Now let's focus on whoever in front of us."
" Who are you?!" Natsu-San asked, while lighting himself on fire.
"I? I'm Zero. Though you'll probably NOT live, to tell the tale. Muahahahahahahaha!
My grip on Crystal tightened as I started to shake a little.
(BTW. Crystal returned when you were fighting Cobra.)
Crystal might have sensed my fear as she turned into her human form and hugged me like a mother would. It was comforting, and I felt safe in her embrace. I mean, Crystal might as well be the only few that I trust truly, with my life.
Not that I don't trust members of Fairy Tail, but with what happened to me in the past, as well as during my 7 year mission, I started to have trust issues. Funny. Isn't it? I'm supposed to be brave, be bold, be fearless! I'm really a disgrace to my mother... Even if, she was not my birth parents.
And a loud boom snapped me back to reality.
"*Gasp!* Jura-San!"
I should've paid more attention darn it! It should've been me! If only I was fast enough to react....
Thoughts raced my mind as my friends got beaten up around me, yet I could not even move.
"Awe... How nice... A duel with the dragon Princess herself!"
"You monster! Lighting Tornado Blast!"
"......." I thought it was finished but when the dust cleared, the man, Zero, stood there unharmed. Not even a scar.
"What?..."
"My turn~" he put his hand up and I felt as if I just fell off a cliff, pushed by the wind, falling into an endless abyss.

..."....e? Can anyone hear me? I repeat. If anyone of you heard me, please answer!"
Hibiki-San....
"...i-*cough* I hear ya loud and clear!" I managed to get the words out of my mouth as I heard a relieved sigh from many others.
"Y/n... Good to know that you're fine. What about the others?"
"I'm all fired up!"
"If flamebrain can do it, so can I."
" Good to know that you're still holding up, Gray."
" Lyon?!"
" And y/n~ be careful out there!"
" Thank you Lyon-San! I will!"
"I think I can hold on..."
"I knew you wouldn't be down that easily, Blondie. Or I'd not let you die in peace."
" Sherry...."
"Aye sir!"
"Listen up. You need to take down the (whatever it's called). It's kind of like tubes that absorb magic from the geound, And makes this thing move. Destroy the cores (??) simultaneously, and the Nirvana will shut down." Hibiki-San was probably exhausted, since his voice a was little hoarse.
"We'll choose which path to attack. I chose the first one." Er-Chan said.
After our jobs were divided, Lulu-Chan asked something that I've been wondering as well.
"But how do we know if we are actually breaking the thing together?"
"I'll set a timer. When it hits zero, attack with all you got.... I-i don't think that I can hold it any longer.... Good l-" and the connection was off.
Good luck everyone. And I set off.
Path 4. Here I come! And Zero. I'll strangle you with my own hands if it's for my nakama! So don't think that I'm an easy opponent. I shouldn't have underestimated you!
Le Grand Timeskip again
No one's POV
"Alright.... Y/n..... Calm down." The h/c girl calmed herself as the timer had 1 minute left. And she started to breath in and out, waiting for the last ten seconds and get ready to attack.
20....19.....18.....17.......16.....
She counted down mentally, and then it hit 11.
"Heavens..........." 5 seconds.
"Dragonnnnnnnnn....." 2 seconds.
" Roaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrr!!!!!!!!" 0.0000000000 seconds.
The core (??) shattered as the powerful attack hit it, sending it into Oblivion, even before it was created.
"Phew! Thank God I did it. Or I'll let everyone down!"
Time skip once more
Y/n's POV
Er-Chan... She never.... I mean, rarely cries.... Jellal-San must mean a lot to her.
I then I realized that I felt upset too, so I teleported myself to a corner in the woods, and started to sing.
(In a higher pitch voice)
(Yesterday-Nightcore)
Memories of my past, with my parents when they were still alive and kicking, my time with the guild, the tortures I had during my century quest.... All came rushing back to me. And the image Er-Chan crying did not help me to the least. It made me cry harder.
I then fell asleep, and woke up the next day in the Caitshelter guild. Not even knowing how I got there. Er-Chan was kind of gloomy, but I'm glad she smiled a little again. Better than her crying I guess.
Wendy's POV
I was so happy that my guild was safe. I'm pretty sure Carla was too. But surprisingly, when my new friends were about to leave, the guild master called them back.
"Master, is something wrong?"
"I have something to admit. And I'm sorry for lying to you, Wendy."
" W-what?! Master, you must be kidding! Why In the world would you lie to me?!"
My voice was threatening to break as tear swirled in my eyes, ready to drop.
"The truth is... Caitshelter does not exist."
My heart stopped.
"We, my tribe of people, built the Nirvana. We wanted to create a world of peace. No wars and stuff. It was fine at first, but it seemed to have backfired. It was an utter chaos, and the world was nearly destroyed. Everyone died, but me. I was then cursed. Until the Nirvana was destroyed completely, without a trace, I am to stay in this world. But thanks to you, I'm now free. Thank you."
People around me, my friends, family.... They started to disappear.
" No...."
"And I'm truly sorry Wendy. When the blue haired boy took you here, I couldn't refuse with that serious look on his face. And when you woke up, and started to cry, I couldn't help but make up a guild."
"But w-where c-can I go now?"
" You've found yourself a new family. New friends. I'm truly grateful. Please take care of Wendy for me. Thank you."
Master then faded completely as I broke into tears.
I felt arms around me, and I looked up to see Erza-Chan.
"It's okay, Wendy. Let it all out. You can join fairytail if you want to. We'll welcome you with open arms, always."
" T-thank you...."
