Hope heard a deep gasp as she activated her Angel Mode.

"It's her!"

"What?!"

Hope turned, confused. Huh? Is something wrong?

"Wh-what is this?!" Chapati stuttered, "It seems newcomer Hope has the same magic as former Fairy Tail mage Rose." Meanwhile, on the stands, a astonished Makarov stared at Hope.

"My granddaughter…" he whispered.

What's happening? Hope wondered, Who is this Rose? Hope just decided to ignore it for now and raced to the top.

"Not so fast!" a dark haired boy yelled, "HELLBRINGER!" and also grew a pair of wings, his dark. Hope's eyes widened, He… uses the same magic as me? She flew faster as the dark haired boy followed her. "DEVIL'S-"

"ANGEL'S-"

"BREATH!" They yelled, as their magic collided. When the smoke cleared, the two were still seen fighting and circling towards the top.

Aish, she thought, this is getting nowhere.. Hope closed her eyes, she knew it was time to finish it. The dark haired boy saw what she was going to do, but it was too late.

"HEAVEN'S JUDGEMENT!" she screamed, the sky parting above her, a beam of light shining down on the arena.

"What magic is this?" Erza wondered, staring at golden light filling the stadium. Laxus ran his fingers through the air, feeling it.

"This feels like…"

"... Fairy Law," Makarov finished.

"However, it seems the caster does not need to see their opponents as true enemies." Mavis remarked. When the light cleared, to everyone's shock, all the opponents lay on the ground except for Hope who stood on the platform, alone.

"My… what is this?!" Chapati exclaimed, "Crime Sorciere's Hope has completely wiped out the competition!" The spectators, though stunned at first, cheered wildly. In the Sabertooth and Fairy Tail stands however, the mages were watching the gold and white clad girl.

"She's just like…"

"... her."


"That was great Hope! Meredy exclaimed.

"Thanks," Hope said, smiling, "it was harder than I thought it would be though." Then she looked at something behind Meredy, it was Fairy Tail, coming towards them. A red haired girl who Hope recognized to be Erza, stepped up to her.

"Where did you learn that magic?!" she demanded, "Who are you?" Hope took a step back.

"Ummm… I," she stuttered. Meredy put an arm out, stopping Erza.

"Hope doesn't remember anything from her past," she explained. Hope nodded.

"Oh," Erza said, "I thought you were someone I used to know, please forgive my rudeness." Hope nodded in understanding.

"That's okay," she replied, then paused, "does this have something to do with that Rose I heard earlier?"

"What do you know about Rose?!" Natsu suddenly appeared, and held her by her neck, "How do you know about her?!" Hope froze, staring at his hand, her mind breaking down. Seeing this, Meredy immediately rushed over.

"STOP!" she cried, "She doesn't like it when people-" Suddenly, Natsu was pushed back as a blonde haired boy appeared. Hope sank to the ground, still in shock.

"You!" Natsu shouted, the boy turned to him with a bored expression.

"Cut it out Natsu," he said, and turned to Hope, "you could try to be less rude, you know."

"Fine," Natsu grumbled, and faced Hope. "Sorry." She slowly nodded.

"It's fine," she managed, "and no, I don't know anything about this Rose everyone's talking about."

"Oh," Sting said, trying not to sound disappointed, and went back to the stands. Hope stared worriedly after him, Is something… wrong? Did I say something? As if she could read Hope's thoughts, a blonde girl gave her a smile.

"Don't worry," she assured, "Sting just… knew Rose really well, that's all." Hope nodded, relieved.

"Oh, okay."

"Well, it was nice meeting you, Hope," Erza said, and the Fairy Tail mages left. Hope turned to the Poison Dragon Slayer.

"What was that about?" she asked.

"It seems that this Rose used to be a mage of Fairy Tail," he said.

'Used to?"

"Apparently she died sacrificing herself about half a year ago." Cobra answered, then listened for more. "Also, she had the same power as you."

"Like… that boy from earlier?" Hope wondered. Cobra nodded.

"Yes…. she was his twin sister."

"I remember now," Meredy said, "you do have the same magic as her." Hope backed away, feeling all the eyes on her, before bolting away.


"AAGH!" Hope yelled in frustration, holding her head in her hands. Who am I? Why do I have the same magic as this Rose? Why did this have to happen to me?! A tear slid down her cheek, why can't I remember?

"Hope?" she heard a voice say from the end of the alleyway. Hope turned around to see Issac, the boy from earlier.

"Oh… hi," she said. The boy sat down next to her, and the two sat in silence for the longest time.

"You know?" the boy said, "You really remind me of my sister." Hope turned to him.

"Is she… this Rose I keep hearing about?" he nodded, staring at the sky. "Tell me…" Hope asked, "what was she like?" Issac smiled a sad smile.

"My sister was a great person." he said, "she was very fun and playful, but would do anything to fight for the ones she loved."

"How did she… die?" Issac sighed.

"Before I joined the guild, Rose was already part of Fairy Tail, but I was the leader of a dark guild."

"What?!"

"Rose and I both bore a curse. She was cursed with a demon inside of her, and, everytime she used her magic, it would clash and burn away at her insides. I, however, hold an angel inside of me, which, unlike Rose's demon, does not harm me. It is also the key to unlocking the demon inside of her. The two of us were called gatekeepers, and she was Rose of the 7th demon, the most powerful and destructive one in existence."

"What happened?"

"After defeating my guild, Rose got captured by some dark mages who tried to extract the demon from her. The others got there, but it was almost completed. Rose finally broke free of the magic restraints, but couldn't get the extraction device off of her. The leader of the dark mages held a knife to Sting's throat, and, instead of letting him kill Sting, who she loved, and let them have the demon, Rose, with the last of her magic, unleashed one final attack that killed the leader and herself."

"That's so sad," Hope said, "is that why that boy, Sting, was acting so strange towards me? Because I have the same magic as her?" Issac nodded.

"Don't feel too bad about it though," he assured, and put his hand on her shoulder. Hope jumped as he touched her, and her nightmare came to mind, this time, clear as day.

"Useless, worthless little brat!" a large man swung at her.

"I'm sorry Daddy!" she cried, trying to cover herself, "I'm trying! Please, stop!" But the hammering continued. She squeezed her eyes shut as tears leaked out.

"HOPE!" she woke up to see Issac staring worriedly at her. She shivered, remembering the vision. "Are you okay?" he asked. she nodded.

"I," she stammered, "it's nothing." Issac stared at her a bit longer before nodding.

"Okay," he said, "well, it's getting late. You should head back now." Hope nodded and the two walked back to their respective guilds. What was that?
