In an well-endowed Victorian style room, two mid-age woman attended to you. Fitting you into a elegant dark red wine Victorian Lolita dress reaching to the floor, while you just stood there like an empty husk back to your normal state. One of the women expressed how thrilled they where to have you back, and how much Father has missed you. While the other one tended to your hair, brushing it back she takes out the brooch that Minerva bought for you, tossing it to the side. Saying it was not fitting. Hearing it hit the floor, snapped you back for a second, your eyes widen in remembrance. Sister, everyone! Looking to it, laying there, inside you heard a faint voice sounding like yours screaming out for it.
Finishing up with you, putting a dark red wine collar necklace around you. The one doing you hair squeezes your shoulders fondly."You look lovely, Amora."she smiles in the mirror while you motionless. Looking at yourself, your eyes drop more a haze cast upon them. Your reflection staring back, screaming at you in chains. But you just blocked it out.
Hearing footsteps approaching, caught your attention along with the two woman. They greet the person at the door kindly and respectfully, and step aside to allow him through. Feeling his steps approach you stopping just a couple of inches away, towering over you though not to much.
Holding out their arm for you, which you blindly take. Their silver cold eyes look down at you, inspecting every detail. Seeing nothing was out of place, he walks out with you.
"Father will be happy to see you."
Back with the others, holding on for their life. While watching Twinkle rise."NO..."Happy screams, to the fox, everyone looks in horror.
Struggling to get out, and save him if it wasn't already to late. Pushing with all their might looking around trying to figure out how to stop this black hole that still kept going even with that person gone. But everytime they moved would loosen their grip. With each hesitation Twinkle was getting closer and closer. Erza looks around for something anything, but she found nothing. Refusing to feel hopeless, she pushes on.
"We can't wait this out!"Lucy yells, gripping tightly to what she was holding. Her grip almost slipped but she quickly regains it. Out of the corner of her eye she sadly watched Twinkle reaching the center, tears came. The poor little thing risked its own life and now it was facing death, and no one could reach him. Thinking of all the times she had with him, always following you around, playing with Asuka, running with Natsu like crazy. He had become apart of the Guild who many had come enjoy.
Sniffing, even if he was not alive she couldn't live with herself and she had a feeling the others could not if they could not at least recover his body. And do a proper burial. No, she couldn't think like that, shaking her head stopping her tears from falling. What good where tears, when she needed to save her friend, her guildmate. Coming back to her senses, she manages to take out one of her keys, while still fighting for her life. Ready to go, when a scream filled the air.
Looking quickly to see, her eyes widen in horror. Wendy, it was Wendy, she lost her grip and now was being sucked in. The poor little girl didn't stand a chance nothing to grab on, her tears where sucked in as she cried. Not wanting to die calling out for help from her friends, who snap out of their state of shock when they realized what was happening.
Screaming for help. Carla watches helplessly as the child was taken from her. Forming her wings, she lets go of her hold against Happy's protest and goes after her. Only to be swept up in the current, her wings vanished. She didn't care, she had to save the poor child. Reaching out her paw screaming her name, Wendy tries to reach back, but the hole sucked away her breath. Grabbing her throat like someone was chocking her, Carla saw the pain she was in. Stretching out her paw, screaming Wendy's name who no longer responded, everyone watches as her body goes limp.
Carla felt her heart stop, it froze in grief."...WENDY!"
Her screams triggered something, a blinding light came which made everyone advert their eyes, and to their surprise stopped the hole. Some how. They fall to the floor hard, pieces and chunks of things fall, luckily they manged to avoid being hit.
Dodging when Cheila remembered something."WENDY! CARLA!TWINKLE!"she yells looking around for the girl and her friend. Getting everyone's attention.
Stopping looking around there was no sign or sight of them. The hole was gone, they could see the damage it had caused, but there was no sign of any bodies of the three.
Natsu sniffs, his eyes widen in horror, he couldn't smell anything nor could Sting or Rogue. There was not a single trace of their existence at all. Tightening his fist in anger, Natsu smashes the wall. Letting out his frustrations, everyone could see the murderous look in his eyes for revenge, not just for Wendy, Carla, and Twinkle but Amora as well and everything else. Whoever that guy was, the others could see he was out for blood and nothing would stop him.
Lucy herself was afraid to approach him, but knew she needed to. Just as she was about to comfort her friend, when the sound of something whooshing down was heard. Turning looking up at the ripped off roof of the lodging, a stream of light came shooting down. Everyone had to quickly recover and get ready for this incoming attack upon them. Natsu had his fist fired up ready to go. The light comes like a straight shot at high speed landing right in the center. The impact pushes the others back just a bit, but not to much. Not wanting to see what it was Natsu charges at it, his fist drawn back.
When Erza saw something, she scream to the hot-headed young man."NATSU! STOP!"
The light starts to fade away or take form it was hard to tell. But the second it did, Natsu stops just inches away from having his fist land upon Wendy and Carla. Who where perfectly fine, laying the back of some sort of rideable creature. Resting.
Everyone was baffled by this new sight. The creature looked just like a fox they all knew but a bit larger and more elegant looking with pink markings around its eyes and around its tail, and upon its paws. The fur, still white and its blue eyes shone brightly. Standing tall, turning to Wendy and Carla nuzzling them gently while whining. Laying down with them, carefully, pressing its snout on the two females. Everyone waited, when Wendy's brown eyes started to open she yawns like she was sleeping. Rubbing her eyes, Carla wakes up next doing the same thing. The two of them in a slight daze, looking around the room.
"..."Wendy tries to process everything, when Chelia comes and tackles her crying happy she was alright.
Wendy was taken back by this, being knocked over onto the icy floor, she yelps from the cold. Carla is tackled by a crying Happy, whom she pushes away and tells him to get off.
Everyone comes over to them and this giant fox creature, who kept its attention upon Wendy and Carla. Wagging its tail that they where save and protected. Barking deeply at them, the two girls look to the fox. When they realized what had just happen. Looking up not seeing the hole anymore, Wendy able to sit up thanks to Cheila lets a breath of air out seeing she could breath again. She looks to Carla who was just as happy as her. Looking to the fox gets up making the others move back, it pounce on the two of them nuzzling them happily. Making them both laugh, but confused the others.
"...Wh-"Lucy tilts her head to the side a bit puzzled.
Erza takes command of this situation."Wendy, Carla. Are you two alright?"she asks, coming to them both while keeping her guard up with the fox.
Who stopped nuzzling them, Wendy looks at her and everyone else. Who waited for some sort of explanation."Yeah, we're both fine."the fox licks the side of her face. Making the girl laugh a bit. She hugs his snout which was a bit bigger than her."Good boy...Twinkle."
"Twinkle!"everyone was surprised by this. They look at the fox, who they just saw lifeless not to long ago, and now in this larger form.
Turning around hearing his name, wagging his tail he barks loud and strong slightly scaring a few. Looking closely in his eyes, they saw it. It was Twinkle.
Happy runs to him, hugging his front leg which was much larger than him."Twinkle!"he smiles at him, laughing happily.
Feeling a hand on his head, accepting the affectionate petting from Yukino's touch. He nuzzles her, making her smile.
"How on earth did he..."Sherry looks at him.
Hearing her question, Wendy stands up with Carla placing a hand on the side of Twinkle, looking down sadly but happy. Stroking his side, while look at him tenderly."Isn't it obvious..."Carla looks at them
"Amora."Wendy tells them.
Hearing that name everyone looks at her, Wendy places her head on Twinkle's side. Burying her face in, she started to cry but manged to stop when she brought her head back out.
Everyone looks from Twinkle to Wendy, still trying to understand how this was possible."But...how?"someone asks.
Wendy didn't really know how to explain it. Shrugging her shoulders."I don't know...all I know is that...my whole spirit felt like it was being sucked into the something dark, I was scared when I felt this warm glow around me. I wasn't sure what it was, but I felt safe. It was like being held by the sun, then there was this..."
"Voice..."Carla comes in, they look at her. She too was thinking about it remembering what happen."It was hard to understand but...it was kind and warm. Next thing, something came and swept us away out of harms ways. Then, we where here."
Everyone was quiet at what they said. Twinkle looks around at all of them, seeing everyone was alright. Light comes around him, and he transforms back, into his normal size. Though he falls down due to his injuries and pain.
"I got you!"Wendy quickly catches him, he whimpers in pain. Bringing everyone to their senses, Wendy and Chelia hurry and start to heal him. Everyone could see he was walking the thin line between death and life.
They couldn't believe this, you mange to protect them as if you knew this would happen. Gray and Lyon tighten their fist, just like Ur you saved them. Looking at the fox, Gray gets down places a hand carefully on his head carefully stroking the fox. Thanking him.
All Twinkle did from his touch was yelp, taking his hand back quickly. Wendy and Chelia tell him not to touch Twinkle anymore.
Going back to heal him, Gray stands up. Looking around at everyone, when he gets tackled by Sting who also manages to knee Lyon in the gut hard. Taking both young men by surprise, and everyone else.
Raising his fist, Sting punches Gray hard in the face in all his anger."This was your fault! All of you!"he yells to everyone on the top of his lungs. He slugs Gray again, who manages to block it this time, but that didn't stop the enraged blonde.
Quickly Rufus and Rouge go and try to pull him off, Gray. But Sting would not budge at all. He flings them off, and returns to Gray unleashing his angered emotions upon him.
"Get off!"Gray snaps back.
But Sting didn't listen, he raises his fist again, and this time Gray was lucky. He elbows the mage in his stomach and quickly moves from under him. But that didn't stop Sting, he quickly regains himself and charges at him. Lyon comes in, to defend Gray, but with Sting's emotional state made this fight all the more deadly. Making his movements and attacks unpredictable. The others try to get them to stop, yelling at them. But the young did not back down. Hits and blows along with words where exchanged.
"We where going to start at FAMILY!"Sting yells at them, his fist makes contact with the ground. Just as the two men move."She was happy! And you messed it up! You hurt her!"he yells to Lyon and Gray.
Sending another blow their way, Lyon took the hit."LYON!"Gray yells, growling he lunges at Sting, who goes to him head on.
"She was happy! Happy with her family! Happy with me! And now she's gone, you brought her back to hell!"Sting lashes out at them both, and the others but mainly those two. Pushing Gray back, Sting gets ready to unleash his power attack. Seeing this, his guildmates minus Minerva yell and run to him to stop. Just as he unleashed it at the two. When he became surrounded in a tomeo like bubble. Floating in it."W-what..."
Turning he sees Minerva had put him in it, surprised he was about to snap at her. Only to stop before he could. The way she looked at him, was the same she did back at the previous magic games, but much more merciless and deadly. She was ready to kill him if needed too, standing next to her was Ultear who had on the same dark look just as her. Looking around Sting sees Ultear's orbs circling him ready to attack. With a wave of her wrist Minerva flings him to the side hard to the floor. Everyone remind quiet, as she walked calmly over to him. But each step sent a deadly chill through everyone. Stopping just a couple of inches away from him. Sting sits up, only to be slapped hard by her. Everyone heard it.
Closing her hand tightly."...My sister is gone...and you DARE to throw a pity fit!"she raises her voice."Your anger is more important than my SISTER! How DARE!"
Sting looks at her, her eyes reflected her very anger yet her own for not helping her sister. The pain she felt for seeing her sister be taken away, all that was trusted upon Sting. Who froze in fear, Minerva gets down to his face."She manged to save us all...you and you repay her back by being selfish and take out your anger and desires on those two. Wasting the second chance she is giving us all to live...and find her."Without a word she gets back up turns her back to him, hearing a healthy yelp, Minerva quickly makes her way over to Twinkle. She goes over to him, placing a gentle hand under his chin he looks up at her smiling, she smiles down softly at him. Picking him up, holding him tightly."Thank you."she tells him.
Ultear helped Lyon and Gray."Are you two alright?"
They rub their injuries but where alright. Looking passed her, towards Sting, the young man they could see felt the words Minerva said. Pile up on him, like a heavy weight. They could see the regret he had for not being able to Amora, they knew that feeling all too well. Feeling like he failed, lashing out at others blaming them, when he knew it was his fault. They saw the way he felt about her, the same as them. Tears started to come, he tired to hold them, when one of his guildmates come to console him, he barked for them to leave him alone. Which they did, even Lector.
This pity party had to stop, a hand lands on his shoulder. Sting looks up to find Gray there with Lyon, giving him a firm look to cut it."Crying won't bring her back."Gray tells him, firmly but still sympathizing with him.
Lyon holds out a hand for him."If you're going to cry then get it all out now, because right now. This is not Amora needs, she needs us to be strong like she was for us."he looks around."All of us."
Sting listens to their words, understanding. Reaching out taking Lyon's grip in his own. The mage pulls the man up to his feet.
Sting looks around at everyone, he saw they each wanted to cry but saw they refused to do so. Not because they wanted too, no because they had to focus on something much more important. He couldn't believe it so many people that Amora had touched and they all loved her family and friends alike. Regaining himself, he smirks ready to go.
"...Good"Gray tells him.
"How will we find her?"Happy points out.
Everyone realized this, till Erza looks to Twinkle."I believe he might know."Everyone's attention goes to him, Twinkle smiles wagging his tail.
