Seth (POV)
Lahar- Was that a threat?
Seth- Damn straight it was!
Lahar- I will have you arrested if you do not get out of our way.
Seth- Why you little-
Grey and Natsu hold me back as I try to step towards Lahar.
Seth- Let me at em! Let me at em! Let me go so I can shove one of those long am staffs up His ass!!
Natsu- Sorry man. As much as I want to surge same, we can't have you going to jail.
Grey- Yeah man chill.
They move out of the way and the place cuffs on Jellal's wrists.
Lahar- Jellal Fernandes, you are under arrest for the crimes against the kingdom.
Wendy- No please don't take him away. It's not fair he doesn't even know what he's done. All of his memories have been completely erased.
Lahar- Ignorance of one's crimes is no defense. Penal Code section 6 states this explicitly. You may remove the barrier now.
Soldier- Yes sir.
Wendy- Hold on!
Jellal- It's alright. I will not resist arrest.
Seth- The Hell you won't! You gotta be there for you know who!
Jellal- I'm sorry Seth. Please forgive me but I am unworthy until I make up for my past sins. As for you Wendy, please forgive me. I wish that I could remember you. I'm sorry that I cannot. I truly am.
Carla- She was lost and alone. You found her wandering and saved her life.
Jellal-.....Did I? I may never know the harm I inflicted upon you and countless others. But at least I know at some point, I helped one person.
Seth- Damn it! Erza say something!
Erza-........
Jellal- Erza, I won't forget your kindness. They lead him away to the celled wagon.
Lahar- Do you have anymore parting words?
Jellal- No.
Lahar- You'll get at least a life sentence. That's if you're lucky. In any case you'll never see these people again.
Wendy- (crying) He's gone.
Seth- Fuck this! I'm sticking to my word!
I shove Natsu and Grey off and rush the army.
Grey- Seth!
Lucy- I don't think that's a good idea!
I get surrounded by soldiers and I start throwing punches left and right.
Lahar- Stop this!
Seth- Get out of my way! Death God: Chaos Nightmare!!
My fists become engulfed with my Death God Slayer magic and I start punching people and making them blast away everytime my fists connect.
Seth- Raaaa!!!!!!!!!! He's one of us!!!! He has to be there for Erza!!! So he comes with us you fuckers!!!! Jellal!!!
I throw an elbow to one guy and I punch another away. I even start biting people for God's sake.
Jellal- No. Don't do this.
Lahar- Subdue that man!
I fight off the crowd and even more come. Grey and Natsu get in the way.
Grey- Go get him Seth.
Natsu- We got this bro.
Seth- Thanks guys.
I run past them making a b line for Jellal.
Mandy- Don't stop Seth!
I keep running as the others except for Erza start fighting as well. Eventually the soldiers start to jump on me but I keep trudging on.
Seth- You owe Erza big time for this Jellal!! I need you to stay by her side! She did for you man! You have to stay because whether you like it or not and whether I like it or not, you're one of us now!! Now get your ass back over here!!!
Lahar- Arrest them all for aiding a fugitive!
Even more come to surround us and take us down.
Seth- Holy Dragon: Roar!!!!!
Erza- That's Enough!!! Stop this at once!!!
Seth *mind*- Oh shit!
I lift up my head and release my dragon roar into the sky so it wouldn't hit anybody.
Erza- I apologize for this disturbance. It's gone too far. I'm the one to blame. Now please......take him away.
Seth- You gotta be fucking kidding me Erza! Why?!
Erza- Sit your ass down and shut up!!
Seth- (scared) Yes ma'am.
Just like that I sit down.
They take Jellal away but he stops.
Jellal- I remember. It was the color of your hair. Farewell old friend.
With that, they put him in the back of the celled wagon and close it. They leave soon after and Erza walks off somewhere.
Seth *mind*- Erza.
Timeskip
The sun was about to come over the horizon and Erza had been gone for awhile so I decided to check up on her. I walked in the direction she went and after awhile, I heard sobs. It was her sobs. I followed the sound and I find her sitting up against some rubble overlooking the ground below and the mountains in the distance.

Erza- (crying).......Jellal.......
Seth *mind*- Damn it Jellal. You were right in the end. Why aren't you here? She needs you.
I decided to leave her alone so she could have some space so I turned around to leave. She must've heard me because her crying paused.
Erza-......Seth?
Seth *mind*- Shit.
Seth- Uh Yeah it's me. I just wanted to check up on you but obviously you need some space so imma just go.
I start walking away.
Erza- Don't go. Please.
I stop and turn to her and stare at her sad face.

Seth- Erza..........
Erza- Don't go Seth. I-I really need you right now.
Without hesitation, I go over to her, sit down next to her, and pull her close. She cries into my shoulder as I watch the sunrise over the horizon.

It was such a beautiful scarlet color. Perhaps the best sunrise I've ever witnessed. It's a shame though because in this moment, it couldn't have felt more bittersweet.
Indigo: That's the end of this chapter. Hopefully you guys enjoyed it. Later indigo fam. Peace.
