Might as well give this a shot ^__^


 * The entire point of the current battle was to kill off Zero. Doranbolt made a deal with Cobra that if he was released with his friends, Zero had to be killed off, as, being an unpredictable mass-murderer, there was no second chance for him. He told Cobra that Jellal would help him (this was the "first job" that Cobra was talking about) but Cobra decided against that, thinking he could take out Brain alone (with the excuse that he was thinking bad things) and turn on Jellal with the others, escaping. However, Midnight suspected that something was up with Cobra's actions, so as the others attacked he hung back, waiting. When Zero awoke, Cobra, Angel and Racer were shocked - it wasn't in Cobra's plan either.
 * Midnight however was prepared, and set up an illusion for Zero to attack. If it's not an illusion, he saw through Jellal's Though Projection, but is keeping silent.
 * During the chaos that follows as Zero "finishes off" Jellal and turns on his old friends to kill them too, Midnight and Jellal (possibly Hoteye, cause Midnight seemed to be very buddy buddy with him) attack Zero at full force, killing him.
 * Jellal releases the OS from their binds - in this case, he gets them to use their real names and therefore sets them free from their past.

I don't care if I have more than allowed... cause again, just putting ideas out there. Proof for this prediction is as follows:
 * Cobra said the OS had a "first job". Why a first job? What other jobs do they have? All of the other OS members didn't seem to know about the "job" - they went on about showers and finding brothers. Everyone, that is, except Midnight, who didn't seem fazed by Jellal's appearance, rather, he gave Jellal a look as he walked up.
 * Zero is a mass murderer. Unlike the other OS who speak of freedom, he immediately went to reform their dark guild. Doranbolt would never let someone so bad loose, no matter how desperate he was.
 * Midnight has been hanging back the entire fight and not giving an excuse like Hoteye. He keeps saying things that make it sound like he will join in, but he doesn't. Why? He said he wanted freedom and openly stated his name, which seems to be Jellal's plan.
 * Jellal used no spells to attack the OS. I understand that he is trying to help them, but when they started to overpower him, it began to get ridiculous that he wouldn't even start trying to at least defend himself. We know for a fact that Jellal's TP has not much Magic power, hence why Jellal had to join with Sieg in the TOH to fight Erza.
 * He told Meredy to stand back. Knowing that the OS are close friends, it would take 5 seconds for Meredy to link them, and another 5 seconds for Jellal to slice open one of their legs and down them all. That way, they can't find back and he can talk to them. Why insist so forcefully that Meredy stay back?
 * The OS were all shocked when Zero got up and launched that attack, yet Midnight smiled and was not surprised at all.
 * Jellal told Meredy to run, saying "We'll...". What? Go to plan B? I don't know but if I was about to launch a massive counterattack on Zero, I'd want Meredy as far back as possible.

Dunno what's going to happen, but this is just my take on it... Looking forward to this weeks chapter, though I'm a little nervous at the same time ^__^" Will good writing prevail? I hope so :)
