The royal wedding was held at an alter that was outside of the palace. Lots of royal guests were in attendance and there stood Natsu, the groom looking dazed and confused with a foggy and clouded mist in his eyes. Like he wasn't even aware of what was happening right now. Lucy and her friends had managed to sneak in by disguising themselves as servants and guests.

"Alright now when Jellal gives the signal you and Levy grab the prince. Leave the rest to us." Erza whispered to Lucy.

"Okay." She responded.

While her friends were getting ready to put their plan into action Lucy crept over toward Natsu.

"Natsu." She called in a whisper to him to get his attention. "Natsu are you okay?"

He looked at her. Not a single trace of recognition in his eyes.

"Who are you?" He asked her.

"It's me Lucy."

"I don't know a Lucy."

"What are you talking about? We've known each other for weeks. I'm the woman you claim to be in love with."

"You must have me confused with someone else. The woman I love is Queen Minerva, that's why I'm marrying her."

"Natsu you don't love her, you only think you do because you're under a spell. I have to get you away from here." She grabbed his hand.

"Now wait a minute I'm not going anywhere with you. I don't even know you."

"Natsu please. You have to trust me."

"I can't trust you because I have no idea who the hell you are. Now leave me alone. It's my wedding day and if the queen catches me talking to another woman she might get the wrong idea."

He started to walk away from her.

"But Natsu wait!"

WHAM! Before he could go too far Erza hit him over the head with a silver tray, knocking him out.

"Alright he's unconscious now get him out of here while we handle the rest." Erza said.

"Wasn't that a bit extreme?" Lucy asked skeptically.

"Well he wasn't going to come willing, what else were we supposed to do?"

"Good point."

"Now get going."

At once Lucy and the fairies began to carry Natsu's body away. The royal guards tried to stop them but Jellal gave his pack the signal resulting in them changing into their wolf forms and attacking the guards while Erza helped fend them off.

Meanwhile in her chambers Minerva was in quite a mood. She was desperate, desperate to be married. So when the time came to get her ready she had a look of pure irritation.

"Tighter you fool!" She snapped at Cana who was cinching up her corset.

"I'm cinching it as tight as I can."

"Not tight enough for my taste."

"Your majesty you are aware that if I go any tighter you may end up suffocating to death?"

"I'll breathe when I'm married! Now tighter damn it!"

She made sure that she was wearing the most extravagant dress, the most rare and precious jewelry, and had her hair done up in the most elegant style. When she was finished she went to her private room and spent almost an hour admiring herself in her mirrors.

"I most be the most beautiful bride in all the world." She boasted. "Now time for me to get married."

She then glanced over at her magic mirror.

"Oh what the heck. Mirror, mirror on the wall who is the fairest of them all?"

"Thou queen is most fair here tis true,

But Juvia is a thousand times more fair than you." The mirror said.

"What?...WHAT?! LIAR!" She screeched. "She is dead! I killed her myself! How can she still be alive? Nothing could revive her from the poison I gave her!"

"Poison is strong, but love is stronger still,

The huntsman found her over the hill.

With love in his heart and one kiss,

He caused the spell to break and her to wake."

"Curse that huntsman! I should have disposed him when I had the chance!"

Little did she know that Sting and Cana were just outside the door of the room, hearing every word she and the mirror were saying.

"The princess is alive." Cana realized.

"And Minerva tried to kill her." Sting said. "What other treacherous things has she been doing."

"I don't know but I think we should inform the people of this."

Sting nodded at her suggested and they hurried off. Later after Minerva finished her hissy fit she decided to deal with Juvia and Gray later. She then called for her royal carriage which brought her to the alter. But when she arrived she found that everything was in shambles, a huge mess, and the royal guests trembling in fear.

"What the devil happened here?!" She cried.

"Wolves!" One man cowered. "Wolves every where! I had never seen anything like it! One minute they were just regular people and then they changed into vicious, ravenous wolves!"

"A scarlet haired woman who fought like a man took out anyone who opposed her!" A woman shivered.

"Your majesty is this how you run a kingdom?!" One man from the gentry asked angrily. "Last I heard, you said that you found a way to keep the wolves away from this part of the kingdom! Do you realize that we could have been killed?!"

"I think that you are all being just a little melodramatic." Minerva said.

"And I think that maybe you should be dismissed from the throne and that the princess should take your place."

"Well I'm sorry that you feel that way but the princess is dead."

"No she's not!" Sting shouted. "She's alive!"

"Shut your mouth Sting!" She ordered.

"I will not!" He defyed. "Princess Juvia is still alive and the queen tried to kill her!"

"We heard her talking about it!" Cana added.

"They're lying!" Minerva denied. "My stepdaughter is dead. She wondered into the forest and torn apart by wolves! She is dead just like her father! Now let us forget this matter and focus on the wedding! Where is the prince?"

"I'm afraid he's gone your majesty." A servant told her.

"Gone?"

"Yes he was stolen."

"By who?"

"Five wolves, a woman in a red shawl, and a blonde maid."

"A blonde maid?" She seethed. "Did this blonde maid have doe brown eyes and extremely petite feet?"

"Yes your majesty."

"Lucy!" She hissed under her breath.

"Your majesty if we find out that you have indeed not only lied to us about the princess but also made an attempt on her life then you will be severely punished." The man from the gentry continued.

But Minerva didn't seem to hear him. She was too busy feeling all the rage and envy bubbling, sizzling, and burning inside of her. Lucy stole Natsu from her. Her niece stole her fiance just like her sister had stolen her fiance twenty years ago. She had finally reached her breaking point. Before anyone could stop her she got in her carriage and ordered to be brought back to the castle then stormed into her chambers. .

"LUCY!" She screamed. "She's just like her mother! Always stealing everything I love! Ruining my happiness! I hate her! I should've killed her when she was a child! I knew...I always knew that she was going to be trouble! Well now I'm going to kill her! I'm going to kill them all!"

In that moment the spirit in the mirror took hold of Minerva and began to enter her body. It was almost free, it just needed to help Minerva grant her desire to destroy Lucy then it's connection to the mirror would finally be broken. Minerva's body would then become the spirit's and it could unleash destruction on to the world just as it had done centuries ago.
