@Bere: Hey Bere long time no see but is there really any point of saying that you didn't read my comment? That goes for everyone else who has done this too.

@Rai: Thanks Rai. I'm glad it made you think about things and is it actually deep? I must be getting better at this. Still thank you very much for the kind compliment as it makes me sure that I’m not wasting that much time making these. Also I must ask in what ways did this comment make you look at this chapter differently?

@Eddie: Again another thank you is in hand. Anyway as for Erza, I can only see this battle going in three directions. The first one is Erza is defeated by Kagura. Being unable to battle over this guilt and the wounds gained in the first part of this chapter it wouldn’t be throwing her life away just being defeated by a greater opponent and a broken spirit of regrets of being unable to save a close friend. It would be devastating to see what would happen to Erza if Kagura was to win. Erza is practically being dragged into despair here. The second way is Erza taking a stab at Kagura while she was in a fit of rage with Archenemy, wounding her greatly due to the surprise of the attack. It probably would involve Erza summoning a sword behind Kagura and then having to lunge into her causing Kagura to be defeated because she couldn't defend against the surprise attack, the crowd would be shocked to see Erza use such an attack on Kagura and Erza would be so difficult attacking Simon's sister in such a way to have Kagura mortally wounded or even worse. This would still be pretty sad seeing someone Erza had basically just opened up too about her own weakness and guilt to, in the end, just have slashed away at her in a brutal fashion. It would be pretty dark. The last one it's basically somebody takes the hit for Erza or intervenes with the battle once, namely Jellal seeing how he would be the most likely to become suddenly involved in this battle as Jellal outside the city could be a Thought Projection and again to would be a disastrous result for our heroes if Jellal was to take the full force of Kagura’s attack. Still for some reason I can see Jura take the hit too but there’s also the chance Sting could rush in the surprise attack both of them which would completely ruin the mood and grief behind this encounter. Still think either way the next chapter goes it must involve some tragedy. Heck Makarov looks like he had just witnessed his daughter’s death, metaphorically speaking of course, so something awful must have happened.
