On their way home Celestia was walking alongside Phantom but she was unusually close to him. Phantom noticed this but thought nothing of it, until she was practically right by his side. Celestia then said "Thanks for saving me back there, I owe you one". Phantom simply replied "It was nothing; I will never let one of my friends die on me, if someone ever wants to kill you they will have to go through me first, I will never let anyone hurt you for as long as I'm alive". After hearing this Celestia hugged Phantom tightly and she continued to keep him in her hug for a few moments longer. When she finally let go she was blushing unable to believe that she had just done that and thought "Why did I do that we're only friends and why am I blushing over it"?

Phantom and Celestia decided to stop at an inn for the night seeing as it was getting late. They got into their room and just as they did Celestia collapsed and started gasping for air as if someone were taking it away from her. Then just after she passed out Tesukama appeared and told Phantom that if he wanted to save Celestia that he must beat him in a fight. Tesukama knew nothing about this boy apart from that he could become a strong wizard someday and he didn't want to risk anything so he decided to kill Phantom while he was young and not as strong as he will become. Phantom not knowing who this man was accepted his challenge because he wanted to save Celestia. So they stepped outside for more space and a bigger battlefield. Phantom brought Celestia as well so he could protect her from anyone else who might do her harm. The fight began and as their first attacks collided and cancelled each other out a huge crater appeared. "Fire storm" Phantom shouted out. In reply Tesukama shouted out "Crushing Darkness". The 2 attacks collided but Tesukama's attack proved to be stronger and hit Phantom sending him flying into a wall. Phantom didn't have the strength to get up but kept trying. Tesukama walked up to Celestia and said "So this is the mighty Erza Scarlet's daughter, how pathetically weak you are". Tesukama began kicking Celestia, and all Phantom could do was watch, as the kicks got harder and harder, Celestia who was woken by the pain was crying out in pain more and more. Tesukama then backed up to finish her off with a magic spell. At this stage Celestia was badly cut and heavily bleeding. Tesukama shouted "Now die daughter of Erza Scarlet! Darkness Repulser". With that said the attack headed straight for Celestia and if it hit her it would kill her. The attack collided and after the smoke cleared we see that Phantom had somehow managed to move and shield Celestia from the attack. Now there was a huge amount of magic building up as Phantom got angrier and angrier seeing Celestia was hurt and almost dead for the second time that day. Phantom demanded who this man was and the man simply told him his name and Phantom had never heard of this man so he still just used his most powerful spell to try and hurt Tesukama as much as he could and used another spell he remembered his father teaching him "Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame" the attack collided with Tesukama sending him flying away however he seemed to be unharmed by the attack. Phantom then ran towards Celestia and healed her once again. Noticing that Celestia was shivering Phantom took off the cloak he had specially created to remove the effects of ice magic (technically resistant to cold) and wrapped her in it.

Celestia had regained consciousness as she was being carried up to their room. Phantom placed Celestia carefully in the bed and pulled the blanket over her so she could rest; Phantom had decided to sleep on the armchair near Celestia just in case she began to feel sick or something. In the morning Phantom woke and began to start making breakfast for the two of them. Celestia woke up a bit later and wondered where she was and how she got there because the last thing she remembered was being attacked by Tesukama. She got up and headed to the kitchen where she could smell something delicious, as she got into the kitchen Phantom asked her "Are you feeling any better now"? She simply replied "I still feel a bit of pain but other than that I am fine. Where are we? What happened to that man that was beating me up"? Phantom replied "We are in our room at the inn and I sent that bastard flying for hurting you".

Celestia was shocked that Phantom had actually saved her twice in one day and she had yet to save him once. Phantom and Celestia arrived at the guild; Celestia was using Phantom for support because her leg wasn't fully healed and was still in pain from Tesukama repeated attacking. As they entered the guild everyone was shocked to see that it was Celestia using Phantom for support and not the other way around. Master Glacier asked what happened and Phantom replied we defeated the guild with success but for some reason me and Celestia had to fight some guy called Syphone. After hearing this Master Glacier thought that they had been badly hurt but then Phantom continued to say "But I managed to kick his ass". At hearing that the guild were shocked but yet laughing thinking that he was joking until Celestia said that it was true and then the whole guild was just surprised at how strong Phantom was. Then they began to tell them what occurred at the inn they stopped at and when Phantom mentioned the name Tesukama the whole guild was surprised that they had made it away from him alive. Phantom asked Master Glacier who Tesukama was and she replied "He is one of the 3 most powerful wizards alive it is a miracle that you made it away without a fight". Just as Master Glacier finished speaking Phantom said that they did actually fight and that he had managed to push him far enough away that he wouldn't bother them again. The guild burst out laughing thinking Phantom was joking but once again Celestia confirmed it and the guild stood there in disbelief that Phantom aged 13 had managed to hold his own against one of the strongest wizards on the planet and that he only did it because of his determination to protect Celestia and all of his friends. Master Glacier thought to herself "Phantom you have no idea how much alike you are to your brother Natsu but why you and he were not in the same time zone and yet are brothers is unknown to me and I wonder if we will ever know. I wonder if I should ever give you what your mother and your brother left for you. Maybe I will when you are an adult and can handle to truth of who your parents really are".
