The sounds of battle and destruction could be heard echoing throughout the castle walls as a young woman with long blonde pigtails was running fiercely through the castle chambers, trying desperately to escape from her pursuers. Her once flawless white dress was now stained with dirt and her perfectly styled hair was now in complete disarray. Still she ran furiously as if she was looking for someone or something. She ran towards the exit to the courtyard, panting furiously as she tried to escape through the door, only to fall clumsily on her own dress and crash onto the cold hard ground. She slowly got to her feet, tears falling from her eyes as she sobbed "Is there no hope?" the castle walls were now shaking violently as the raging battle outside drew closer to the castle. When she got up she was about to continue running but she felt a presence behind her and she slowly turned around to be greeted with the figure of a man with dark hair wearing navy blue armour and adorned in a crimson cape, the girl stared into his icy cold gaze, his eyes were dark and soulless, the girl just stood there paralysed by fear. The man slowly extended his hand towards her and said in an icy, zombie-like tone "You have no choice, you must come with me."
The girl just slapped his hand away and backed away in fear "Go away Endymion!" she screamed as she cowered in the corner. The man, Endymion, had lost his patience and extended his arm again, this time a large sword materialised in his hand and he pointed it directly at the girl "Come with me now!" he barked, but she did not respond, she simply remained frozen in defiance. Endymion began to approach her and as he neared her she quickly got up and began screaming as an aura of light surrounded her and a crescent moon appeared on her forehead, the aura then emitted a shockwave that knocked Endymion to the ground. The aura faded and the girl collapsed with exhaustion, she normally had only a small amount of magical power but combined with her fatigue it was amazing that she was able to muster up enough magic to attack her pursuer.
Endymion got to his feet and began laughing at the girl who was now panting heavily on the floor "That was it? You poor girl, you haven't even got half of the Queen's power do you?" he mocked. He then got his sword and swung it around "This time, nothing can save you!" he shouted as he swung the sword towards the girl but just as he was about to make his kill, there was an enormous tremor that surged throughout the castle and a giant claw came bursting through the roof and knocked Endymion as far away from the girl as possible. A deep voice then boomed throughout the room "Flee Princess, I will protect you!"
The Princess quickly got up and ran out of the room and towards the courtyard "Thank you my friend!" she exclaimed, but as she entered the courtyard, the area was engulfed in a sickening darkness as she collapsed on the ground.
Eight year old girl, Usagi Tsukino woke up in a sweat "That dream again" she said to herself "Why does it feel so real, so familiar?" she wondered. It was still early hours of the morning and a good night's rest was essential for future wizards, well that's what Usagi's mother taught her at least, so she went back to sleep, dismissing the dream she just had. As she dozed off again, a dim light in the shape of a crystal slightly illuminated from her chest, but Usagi didn't notice it.
Usagi woke up several hours later; the events of the previous dream had been shoved at the back of her mind. She got out of bed and went into the kitchen of her family's house; no one was around it seemed. This was not unusual for Usagi, her parents were often not around due to their duties as two S-Class wizards of the Fairy Tail Guild in Magnolia town, and as such, Usagi was used to having to look after herself sometimes. Usagi herself didn't have any astonishing magical abilities yet, although she'd tried a few times to learn some of the basics it just never seemed to work out well, so her parent's just decided that she'd learn when she was older and more capable. Usagi herself, happy living a magic-free life, she enjoyed being able to just live peacefully like a normal person and not have to put much effort into anything, for Usagi, the carefree, powerless life was for her. But she would soon learn that nothing stays the same forever.
Usagi skipped blissfully through the beautiful Magnolia Town, headed towards the Fairy Tail Guild Hall to see if she could see her parents before they go on whatever mission they had for the day. Magnolia Town was a beautiful, peaceful place in the Fiore kingdom, everyone lived happily there and the uprising Fairy Tail Guild seemed to be adding prestige and attraction to the town. She arrived at the large, brown, wooden doors of the guild hall, although she wasn't an official member of the guild she spent a large amount of time there in hope that she could spend a few hours with her parents and her grandfather (through her mother) the master of the Fairy Tail Guild Makarov. Also all of her friends were in the guild so she would spend time with them whilst there. Natsu, Gray, Erza, Lisanna, all of them were in the guild and were wizards who took on jobs at their young age. It always perplexed Usagi how people her age could even be bothered to do such things instead of just having fun, but it was their choice and she respected it...somewhat.
As she was about to open the large doors there was a large thud from the other side and the doors swung open ferociously, nearly knocking Usagi to the ground. Her older cousin, Laxus (also a mage) barged out, his face was red with fury but Usagi smiled at her cousin and said "Hey Laxus! What's going on?"
Laxus looked at her, his eyes were watery and his face seemed to be turning more crimson with every passing moment "Sorry Usagi, I didn't see you" he apologised.
Usagi now noticed that something was wrong with her older cousin as she examined him more closely "What's wrong?" she asked with a concerned expression. Laxus quickly turned his head away and Usagi could hear stifled sobs, he probably didn't want her to see him like this "Gramps kicked my dad out of the guild!" blurted Laxus and he quickly ran off, obviously not wanting to discuss the issue. Usagi was shocked by this, she always thought that her Uncle, Ivan, was an alright guy, he always gave her candy, actually he seemed to take a rather profound interest in her now that she thought about it...but it was true that her mother had been warning her to be careful around her Uncle lately, maybe something happened that was an adult-wizard issue, probably best for her to stay out of it, she thought.
After her run in with Laxus, she finally got into the guild hall, after what seemed to take a really long time. As she walked in she noticed that everyone else seemed to be acting the same, maybe none of them knew about Ivan's expulsion yet. Erza and Mirajane were bickering as usual, Gray and Natsu were fighting...as usual and Lisanna was nowhere to be seen, which was odd. Usagi sighed; she thought on some level it would be nice to be an official member, but still...effort. Usagi also noticed that her parents weren't around; she assumed they'd left already.
Gray and Natsu were locked in a fist fight when suddenly Erza burst right in between them and sent them spiralling to either end of the hall "That's enough you two!" she ordered, Gray and Natsu just lay on the ground motionless. Even though Erza was only a year older than Usagi, she seemed so much more grown up than her, sometimes Usagi thought of Erza as more of a mother than a friend, but then Erza would see Usagi eating a cake and she would plead with her to have some, in the end she would just eat all of it, reminding Usagi that Erza was still a kid like her.
Erza dusted her hands off after beating up Natsu and Gray and looked over to see Usagi standing in the doorway, so the scarlet-haired girl decided to approach her friend "Hello Usagi what an unexpected pleasure" said Erza nicely, it was amazing how she could have been so rough and untamed a moment ago and now she was perfectly calm.
Usagi smiled back "Hey Erza" she said casually "are my parents here by any chance?" asked Usagi with a slight hint of desperation in her voice.
Erza pondered for a moment before replying "Oh yes they are with Master Makarov in the special upstairs area, I'm sure they'll be down momentarily." Usagi looked at the upstairs area, the place where only S-Class Wizards were allowed, no way was she going up there and she didn't want to disturb them in case they were discussing the issue about her Uncle. "That's cool" replied Usagi "I'll just stay here with you til they come down, we can hang out!" smiled Usagi.
"That sounds like an excellent idea, do you have any cake?"Asked Erza, Usagi was about to reply when she was tackled by an overly excited Gray and Natsu "Usagi!" they exclaimed in unison, as if they hadn't seen her in months "Have you learnt any magic yet so you can join the guild and be part of my team?" asked Natsu energetically to which Gray responded in Usagi's place with a powerful punch "If she's joining anyone's team its mine you loser, why would she want to be on a team with you anyway?" mocked Gray
Natsu quickly got back up and shouted "Who are you calling a loser? Usagi would rather be on my team anyway because I'm the awesomest!" Gray simply sneered at Natsu's remark and prepared for another brawl with his pink-haired uh...friend?
Usagi could tell that Erza was going to fire at them any moment so Usagi quickly disrupted their brawling "Guys I haven't learnt any magic yet! So there's no need to fight!" she exclaimed, they both stopped in their tracks and noticed Erza was getting really angry, so they decided to quit the brawling. Usagi decided it would be best for her to change the topic, she didn't want to be questioned about why she couldn't learn any magic "So Natsu, how's that egg you found going, did it hatch into a dragon yet?" asked Usagi.
Natsu's expression quickly changed to a look of horror as he ran out of the guild hall screaming "I totally forgot that I was supposed to help Lisanna with the egg today Ahh stupid Gray this is all your fault!" Usagi, Gray and Erza laughed at their crazed friend as he ran out of the guild hall.
Just then, the sound of footsteps could be heard descending the stair case as Master Makarov walked down the stairs followed by Usagi's parents Ikuko and Kenji Tsukino. Usagi quickly ran over to her parents "Mum, Dad! I was hoping you hadn't gone yet, can we spend the day together please!?" pleaded Usagi.
Ikuko and Kenji smiled at their daughter "Sorry Usagi we have a very important mission for today, but it shouldn't take long, we are just investigating a mysterious energy just outside the town" explained Kenji.
Ikuko knelt down to be level with her daughter "Don't worry Usagi, when you become a strong wizard one day, the three of us can go on missions together and we'll be together always" said Ikuko warmly as she kissed her daughter on the forehead. Ikuko then turned to Makarov "Father could you spend some time with Usagi today and keep her company until we get back?" she asked with a slight pleading tone in her voice.
Makarov just sighed before saying "Unfortunately not, I've got a stack of magic council paper work that's as tall as me, maybe even taller. That Gildarts keeps breaking things" cried Makarov as he imagined his paper work "perhaps she could stay with some of her friends for the day" suggested Makarov as he retreated to the upstairs chambers once more.
Usagi's parents then began to exit the guild hall, Usagi was displeased by this, she only wanted one day, one day without magic or missions so that she could spend it with her parents, was that too much to ask? A thought then popped into Usagi's head, if her parents weren't going to spend the day with her, then she was going to spend the day with them! How dangerous could one lousy mission be anyway?
Usagi said a quick goodbye to Erza and Gray as she ran out of the guild hall, she could just make out the image of her parents in the distance slowly walking towards the exit of the town, she had to be quick if she wanted to follow them on their mission, but at the same time she had to be sneaky to make sure that she didn't get caught. She crept through the town at an alarming yet stealthy rate getting strange looks from many of the town folk. She somehow managed to get closer to her parents; she had to be careful to make sure that they didn't sense her presence, because wizards could do that apparently. As Usagi snuck around the town, she didn't even notice the glow emitting from her chest, the glow seemed to bear some resemblance to a crystal, but it quickly disappeared so that she nor anyone else would notice its mysterious presence.
As they got further out of the town it became increasingly difficult for Usagi to conceal herself, with fewer buildings and construct for her to hide behind and less people for her to blend in with. All that was available for her to camouflage with was the trees, but they were so far away from each other that it would be impossible for her to keep tailing her parents in secrecy for any longer. Usagi was about to make a run to the next nearby tree, but as she did she stepped on a loose twig that snapped in two creating a loud cracking noise that echoed throughout the area. Her parents quickly jumped around readying themselves for battle, but as they were about to attack they saw their little girl standing there trying to laugh off the situation awkwardly.
Ikuko looked at her daughter with an expression of shock "Usagi...did you follow us all the way from Magnolia without either of us noticing you?" asked Ikuko, Usagi simply nodded nervously in response to her mother, she wasn't sure whether her mother was angry or...impressed. Kenji, however, quickly picked his daughter up in his arms "She's a wizards daughter, that's how she did it" he said proudly "she'll make a fine Fairy Tail wizard one day, won't she Ikuko?" he said, turning to his wife. Ikuko smiled proudly at her daughter "Yes she definitely will, sometimes the most precious and beautiful flower blooms late Usagi." Although Usagi wasn't too keen on becoming a wizard, a compliment was still a compliment and she smiled brightly.
"So does this mean I can come with you guys?" asked Usagi in the cutest, nicest tone she could muster, combined with her puppy dog eyes, they couldn't say no to her now. Her parents pondered this for a moment, their mission was an important one but it wasn't a highly dangerous one, perhaps it would be okay to bend the rules just this once. Ikuko and Kenji exchanged glances before Kenji answered his daughter "Of course Usagi, we can't send you back on your own now can we?" he beamed. Usagi smiled brightly and jumped out of her father's arms "Come on let's go!" she said as she ran ahead, her parents running after her.
Shortly after they arrived at the location, it was a small village it seemed very lively and happy, nothing that suspicious seemed to be going on in the area. Usagi, however, had a strange feeling, a slightly ominous sensation that was somewhat familiar to her. Ikuko and Kenji examined the area while Usagi simply sat down on a rock and examined the carefree sky, imagining she was laying on one of the bouncy, fluffy, white clouds.
As Ikuko and Kenji inspected the village, nothing majorly out of the ordinary seemed to stand out. They had received an anonymous tip that strange activities had been occurring within the village, and many wizards from the guild had felt a strange energy flowing around lately so the Master thought it would be best for a thorough investigation to be undertaken by some of Fairy Tail's elite. As they continued to examine the village, they noticed something suspicious, no one from the village had said a single word to either of them, it was like they were walking through the town invisible, and not one villager seemed to even glance at the two wizards. Kenji and Ikuko exchanged concerned glances and decided it would be best to get Usagi out of the village and come back later, it was clear that something was not completely right with the village. The two began to head over to their daughter, but their path was soon blocked by a frail, old woman. She wore a rather concealing cloak and for the most part her face was covered by her hood. The woman then stared directly at them "Are you the Fairy Tail wizards?" she asked in a shrill, blood-curling tone, it was like her words were the essence of death magic.
Ikuko and Kenji were now growing even more concerned as the woman stood before them, blocking their path. Kenji was the first to respond to the woman "We're not saying until we know who's asking!" he demanded. The old woman just laughed "You are in no position to be making demands of me, and lying will not help you now!" she barked "I can see your guild brands, Fairy Tail wizards!" and as she said that she raised her hands above her head and released what appeared to be a powerful wave of shadow magic "Feel the power of nega-magic!" she yelled. Kenji quickly responded to this attack by smashing his hand on the ground in front of him, as the ground before him rose up and formed a blockade from the shadow magic, protecting himself, and Ikuko. Kenji turned to Ikuko and shouted drastically "Quick get to Usagi!" Ikuko gasped and jumped out from behind the wall and ran to her daughter, the woman noticed this and directed her next attack at the fleeing Ikuko, but before the attack got near her, Ikuko waved her arm and altered the course of the magical blast to collide directly with the ground instead of her, her eyes then began to glow purple and she tilted her head slightly in the woman's direction, the woman was then launched into a nearby hut, completely destroying it.
As the woman was knocked back, the entire area suddenly changed, the ground turned dark, the perfectly constructed buildings slowly faded away to be replaced with rubble and wreckage and the people of the town vanished only to be replaced by corpses. It all made sense now, everything was an illusion and the strange energy was the dark magic covering the place, it was clear now that they had fallen into a trap. The woman quickly rose from the rubble as her form began to twist and change, she grew taller, much taller, her dark robes swirled around her body forming a purple dress, her face seemed to go back in time as it turned from wrinkled and withered to a more young look and her hair changed from short and gray to a long luscious crimson. The woman's true form now stood before them.
Usagi had noticed the commotion and the change in scenery as she saw the town fade into darkness, the only thing that hadn't changed was the rock she was sitting on and the area beneath it, the grass was still a bright green, maybe even brighter than it was before. She watched as the old woman became an entirely different person and stood in stark horror. Her whole body had frozen up in fear, the sickening darkness around her became all too familiar, it was the same feeling she had whenever she was in that recurring dream. Usagi now cowered behind the rock she was previously lying on, she was sure her parents would deal with the woman and then they could go home. Although she was terrified, there was a small part within her that compelled her to fight. She covered her face with her hands and began sobbing; wishing for the darkness to go away, the light in her chest now began to shine brightly.
The woman attacked Ikuko again, this time with a charged ball of dark energy, Ikuko quickly jumped out of the way and continued to run towards her daughter, Kenji took the woman's moment of distraction to strike at her as he placed his hand on the ground and shouted "Earth shaker!" The ground beneath the woman began to shake violently, but she stood there and laughed "You think this power can harm me, the magnificent Queen Beryl!" she roared as she discharged an aura of shadow energy, causing the ground to stop shaking, she then pointed her hand at Kenji and he was shrouded in a dark aura, Beryl then began to squeeze her hand shut and Kenji groaned in pain as his body was slowly being compressed.
By now Ikuko had reached her daughter and she consoled her, telling her to remain calm and stay hidden and that her and her father would take care of the situation. Ikuko then heard Kenji screaming and she turned around and saw what Beryl was doing, she closed her eyes and saw the link between Beryl's magic and Kenji's body, shattering it immediately. Beryl looked shocked until she noticed Ikuko and immediately smirked "A psychic warrior and a commander of the earth, this will do quite nicely" she laughed as she released a burst of nega-energy in the area around her, knocking Kenji and Ikuko to the ground. Kenji attempted to get up but he just couldn't seem to muster the strength, he looked over at Ikuko and she seemed to only be barely breathing "What's going on?" he asked to no one in particular "we're stronger than this!"
Beryl snickered and then decided to taunt him with the answer to his confusion "This area has been bathed in my nega-magic so that when I caught my prey it would drain them of their magic and life force. Your energy will become quite useful to me" she mocked and she laughed as she looked on at the helpless state of the two wizards, as they slowly became absorbed in darkness.
Usagi looked on in horror, she wanted to help her parents but she was totally powerless, all she could do was watch as they slowly died in front of her. Tears began to form in her eyes as she looked on, frozen in horror. Ikuko used the last of her energy to look into her daughter's eyes and send her a message telepathically "Run Usagi, you must live on! Make us proud in the name of Fairy Tail. We will always love you Usagi" the words echoed throughout Usagi's head, the tears flowing even more forcefully now. Suddenly the darkness shrouded her parents completely and they were absorbed into the ground, disappearing from Usagi's sight...they were dead.
Usagi now broke out of her state of paralysis and became to scream wildly "No!" she cried as the tears poured out of her eyes like a flood. The light that was emanating from her chest before now began to glow brightly and furiously as it engulfed her in a blinding aura that seemed to pierce the very heavens above. Beryl was removed from her state of victory as she noticed the presence of the magnificent force "What is this...no it's not possible!" she gasped in shock as Usagi began to scream, her sadness now fused with anger. Beryl attempted to flee but the light began to swirl around the area and began to close in on her. Usagi's clothes had now been replaced with a small white dress and a crescent moon now shone brightly on her forehead. The energy emitting from within her began to attack Beryl, but the witch somehow managed to use any remaining strength to use her magic to escape through a portal, back to whatever hell she crawled out of. As Beryl disappeared, so did the energy and Usagi collapsed to the ground, unconscious, the white dress and crescent moon had disappeared and her form was back to normal, except for a beautiful white crystal that stuck out magnificently in a locket on her chest that just formed. The other thing that was different was that the previously dead grass that Usagi was lying on had been revived into its previous form of lively green.
In the distance, the figures of three women stood silently overlooking the area where Usagi was currently lying. They had witnessed the entire event from afar but their expressions didn't signify shock or horror but rather sorrow. Each woman seemed to bare a unique item, one with a staff, the other with a sword and the other a mirror. "Such a shame, all this power and yet we could not prevent this tragedy from occurring in that poor girl's life" said one of them.
"It was tragic but it had to happen, there was no other way for it to happen, you know that" said the other.
"We mustn't forget the pledge we made to the Queen all those centuries ago" reminded the final one. All three of them looked towards the beautiful sunny sky; it looked so innocent and peaceful, as if the entire world was in a perpetual state of tranquillity. "So it begins" they said in unison.
Several hours had passed; Usagi was still unconscious, whatever this crystal was it had exhausted all of her energy. As Usagi lay on the ground, the figure of a man stood over her and reached down as if to grab her, but he was hit with a blast of magical energy that knocked him away from Usagi "Leave the girl Ivan" said the voice of Master Makarov as he appeared in between Ivan and Usagi. Ivan looked at his father with a dark expression "Can't an uncle help his niece, after all she's unconscious and her parents just died." Makarov's expression changed from defensive to shock, he had no idea of what happened in the village but he only knew that Ikuko and Kenji were gone far too long, so he decided it would be best for him to investigate. "How do you know they died?" asked Makarov.
Ivan just stared at his father and said bluntly "Because I saw the whole thing" he said, half sneering. Makarov's face turned red with rage "You watched it!" he roared "Instead of helping your own flesh and blood you look on as she and her husband die, leaving your niece without a family!" the ground around them was beginning to tremble from Makarov's rage. Ivan knew it would not be best to anger his father further, especially since he had just been removed from the guild. "There was nothing I could have done except die along with them you'd have to have been there to understand" explained Ivan, but this did not ease Makarov at all "Leave Ivan" he barked.
"The crystal Usagi bears, it nearly killed her, perhaps it would be best if I took it off her" reasoned Ivan and he took a step forward but Makarov knocked him back with magic "The crystal is not yours to take Ivan, it is hers now" and with that Makarov used his titan magic to grow just a little bigger so that he could pick Usagi up and take her away from this place and to Porlyusica for medical attention, he didn't even look back at Ivan as he walked away. Little did Makarov know that his grandson Laxus had followed him out there and seen what had happened between Ivan and Makarov.
The figure of the Princess lay motionless in the castle courtyard as the evil Queen Beryl struck her down "Poor, pitiful Princess Serenity, you cannot escape me and you will never escape Zeref!" she laughed. Suddenly a large roar of white energy filled the area and the darkness vanished as the Princess' sacred guardian, the Holy Dragon descended upon Beryl "Leave the Princess alone Beryl, you do not want to trifle with me!" he warned.
Beryl simply laughed "No I do not want too but I know someone who does!" she snickered and the shadows soon returned as dragon of darkness appeared from behind Beryl and attacked the Holy Dragon. Beryl rose her hands above her head "Soon Zeref, the Moon Kingdom shall be destroyed and then no one will stand against you!" shouted Beryl, she looked on into the horizon where she saw two wizards locked in fierce battle. One was shrouded in darkness and emitting an aura that permeated with death, the other shone brightly as she wielded in her hand a beautiful white crystal, both were equally powerful, but only one would win.
Usagi woke up with a gasp, she had another dream but this one was different to the previous one, as if she had unlocked something within herself that enabled her to see the next part of the dream. She looked around, she was in an unfamiliar place, and it was in a secluded forest by the looks of it. Although it was unfamiliar to her, she didn't feel unsafe. She looked down and noticed a locket on her chest, she opened it up and saw what appeared to be a beautiful crystal, then it clicked. She remembered everything, the mission, the evil witch, her parents dying and a powerful magic emitting from her. The memories came back forcefully and painfully and she began to cry like she did before the crystal activated.
A familiar voice then sounded in the room "Oh good, you're awake I was worried about you Usagi" she looked down and saw her grandfather, Makarov, smiling warmly at her. She quickly wrapped her arms around him and began crying "They're dead gramps, mum and dad they're gone!" Makarov wrapped his arms around his granddaughter and tried to comfort her "I know child, I know. You've been through quite an ordeal and your wounds are deep, it will take time to heal" he said warmly "I'll get you out of here soon and we'll go back to the guild hall, I will look after you now Usagi, I will not let you be harmed by anyone anymore!" promised Makarov, Usagi continued to sob, she attempted to smile at her grandfather, but it just resulted in her crying even more. Makarov looked at his crying granddaughter and knew he should get her into a more familiar environment soon, to make her even that much more comfortable, if it was all he could do for now he would do it "Just wait here Usagi, I will be back soon" she nodded and sobbed at the same time, reaching over for a tissue to dry her eyes with.
Makarov went into the other room where the Fairy Tail medic, Porlyusica was mixing some mixtures and herbs "How is the girl?" she asked, not taking her eyes away from her work. Makarov snorted and asked sarcastically "Do you really want an answer?" Porlyusica dropped what she was doing and turned around to face Makarov "Whilst I despise humans I am not cold-hearted Makarov. It is truly a sad day when a child's parents are taken from them" she replied, Makarov didn't respond to her so she continued "What about the crystal?" she asked.
"Well there is no doubt about it being one of the crystal's once possessed by the legendary guardians of the moon, but why it has appeared now is beyond me, only time will tell" replied Makarov.
"And what of its power? The girl will die if she taps into it again"
"I've already dealt with that, I placed a basic enchantment within the crystal, as her ability and inner magic level grows she will be able to tap into more of its power, that is, if she even chooses to delve into her potential. That is not important now anyway I'm taking Usagi now, the girl has been through too much, thank you for your assistance" said Makarov as he began to walk out of the house but Porlyusica interrupted him "Makarov, she was your daughter, and you are allowed to grieve as well"
"My granddaughter's welfare comes before my own" he said sternly as he walked out of the house, taking Usagi with him.
The funeral ceremony for Ikuko and Kenji was held a few days after, almost everyone from the guild had gathered to pay their respects to their fallen comrades. Usagi didn't want to say anything, she couldn't gather enough strength to get up in front of everyone without bursting into tears, so Makarov did all the talking while Usagi stood in front of all the guild members, her friends were by her side, helping any way they could to comfort her during this painful time. "Ikuko and Kenji were two of the greatest wizards in the guild, not only for their skill but as a role model for the rest of us, they lived up to the guild's beliefs and values in every single way and will never be forgotten. They will always live on in the heart of Fairy Tail and in that way they will never be gone forever!" Usagi looked around, everyone else was in Fairy Tail besides her, the guild meant so much to her parents and there was no way she was going to let it end with them, she just needed time to heal.
It had been a few weeks since the funeral of Ikuko and Kenji, Usagi had not yet fully come to terms with her parent's death, she still half-expected them to walk through the doors of the guild hall but she knew it wouldn't happen. Still her grandfather and friends were helping and always made her feel loved and wanted.
Usagi was sitting alone in the guild hall, it was early so not many people were there, she had come to a decision that was difficult for her, and she was going to become a wizard and wanted to join Fairy Tail. She had been secretly training by herself, learning how her crystal worked and some of the basics, it was nothing like the first time, and it was like something was within the crystal letting her maintain its power. Now that she felt that she was worthy enough to be in the guild and follow in her parent's footsteps she was going to join and go on missions with her friend's not only to honour her parents and make them proud, but to make sure that no one else suffered the same injustices that she did...and she wanted to find Beryl one day and avenge her parents.
Several Years Later...
A group of bandits were running away in a chaotic fit as if they were scared of something that was pursuing them. They ran through the side alleys constantly looking back to check if their pursuers were following them "Quick don't you know who that girl was!" shouted one as he pushed the others forward but as they got towards the end of the alleyway when a voice shouted "Moon tiara magic" and a light disc flew after them at a lightning fast speed and knocked them all to the ground and then a girl appeared before them with long blond pigtails and a white and blue sailor suit, a white Fairy Tail guild mark was seen clearly on her upper left leg "Thought you could outrun me did you?" she asked mockingly. The bandits started screaming in fear as they shouted "It's her, its Sailor Moon!"
