It had been a few weeks since Mystogan had been crowned king of Edolas. Edolas had lost the last of magic that it had left. So far he wanted to start his reign by rebuilding the Royal City but his advisors told him that before he could that he needed to punish the Sir Faust, Byro and the three captains. Coco was the only one who was spared because she had helped the Earthland Fairy Tail wizards against the Royal Army.
As Mystogan sat in a meeting with all of his advisors he looked at them.
"Sir Faust will be banished from all kingdoms. Do any of you have ideas on what to do with the others?"
One advisor nodded.
"Byro, Hughes and Sugarboy will lose all of their stripes and help rebuild the Royal City."
"What about Knightwalker?"
Another spoke.
"She was the deadliest of them all. She was following right in the steps of Faust. Banishing her will just be showing her mercy, the best thing to make sure she isn't a threat anymore is to execute her."
Mystagon nodded.
"Then it is decided. We shall have this meeting tomorrow at dawn. Prepare for Knightwalker's execution after the meeting."
Outside of the doors of the meeting Coco had her hands covering her mouth as she was in horror shock of everything that she had heard.
She sprinted out of there and ran out to the Royal Gardens.
As she was running tears streaming down her face.
Pantherlily had been sent to Earthland when they lost their magic so he couldn't comfort her. Byro, Hughes and Sugarboy were going to lose their ranks and be put into force labor. Worst of all Erza was going to put to death tomorrow morning.
"I don't want to lose my friends."
She then ran into someone and fell back.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to…"
She looked up to see a tall hooded figure looking at her.
"It's alright, little girl."
Coco blinked when she realized that the hooded person was a woman then the hooded figure spoke again.
"Why are you off in such a hurry while crying?"
Coco wiped her tears away.
"The new king is going to punish my friends but he's going to have one of them to be executed tomorrow morning."
"Why?"
"Because they served under Sir Faust. So did I, but he's not punishing me."
"So these friends of yours are the soldiers of the former King Faust?"
Coco nodded.
"Not just any soldiers, they were all his captains."
"Little girl, please take me to the prison cell of your friend that is going to be executed tomorrow."
Coco nodded then they both left out of the Royal Gardens to the West Tower where all prisoners were being held.
When they got there they silently arrived to Knightwalkers cell. When they saw her they saw that she was sleeping and was hugging her scarf close to her.
The hooded woman quietly giggled then she turned to leave with Coco following after her.
When they got to the large hall Coco looked at the hooded woman.
"Lady, how come you're laughing?"
"Erza always finds the best ways to amuse me."
"…"
"Little girl, since it's late tell me where this meeting will be held."
"In the Throne room."
"Perfect, I will be back tomorrow."
With that the hooded woman left, leaving a confused Coco alone in the hallway.
The next morning
At the meeting Mystogan had told everyone their punishments and coco was present since it was going to be the last time that she was see them.
Just then a soldier came into the Throne room.
"Your Majesty, there is someone who wishes to speak with you."
One of the advisors frowned.
"They can wait. This meeting is more important."
Just then the door opened and Coco saw that it was the same hooded figure woman from the day before.
Mystogan looked at the hooded person then spoke.
"Who are you?"
The hooded figure pulled her hood back and everyone was shocked when they saw what she looked like.
The woman looked like Erza but she was taller and she had scarlet hair that hung to her legs. She wore black pants and a dark colored loin cloth. She wore black heeled boots and wore a black poncho that covered her breast. She wore dark gloves that went up her arms and strapped to both sides of her waist were twin ring blades.
Mystogan had never seen this woman before but judging by her features it was clear that she was related to Erza.
"Who are you?"
Faust was shocked to see her as well.
"The Scarlet Guardian, Irene Rosakah."
Irene smiled while Erza was in shock to see her as well as she silently uttered.
"Mother…."
