Chapter eight

Juvia felt nauseous. She didn't know why she was feeling this way, but she felt like it had something to do with her captivity. She had mentioned it to Hoshi who was the only one awake at the time and the noble looked troubled.

"It's Maria, it has to be. She's done something to you while you've been in here and you being behind the anti magic bars for so long also means that it's making you sick. I am able to heal you, but my whole system might get wiped."

Juvia lethargically wiped the sweat from her brow. When did it get so hot in here? "No, it's fine, I'll be able to deal with it. Save your own energy, I'll have to manage."

Hoshi didn't look like she liked that plan, but she nodded anyway. As soon as she started healing Juvia, Maria would suck up all the yin from her body, and that was the last thing she wanted.

Juvia had been stuck in her cage for another two weeks now. It was time, time for the full moon. Being in her cage had also made her throw away her third person speech once and for all as the other girls taught her more and more about her original magic and how to use the power of the yin and the moon.

Juvia sat back on the rails and tilted her head back. She really didn't feel well and she was starting to wonder of maybe she should let Hoshi heal her.

"No, don't be so selfish. Hoshi's yin will be sucked away."

Juvia sighed and lay in a fetus position, trying her best to fall asleep, but she honestly couldn't. She tried to think about other things. She thought about her guild and how no one knew where she was or what job she was on, other than Mira of course. She was worried that if she were to die here, would they even care? She knew that they didn't even know how much pain they put her through by constantly laughing at all the times she made a fool out of herself when proclaiming her love for Gray. They might not have said anything, but she knows that they were all disappointed when Lucy got hurt in the Naval battle.

"That should have been me in there. I'm the water mage and I probably wouldn't have sustained the injuries that Lucy received. I'm a failure as a guildmate."

She felt the tears pouring down her face as she sniffed. One of the girls stirred next to her and Juvia hid her face. She didn't want them to see her crying over something so pathetic.

She decided to think about something else, something that would make her feel a little bitter. She wondered how Sting was getting along. She knew that he would be a mess, he wasn't able to sleep unless there was someone in his bed next to him. Juvia smiled a little bit, happy that someone needed her in their life. For once, she felt loved and to think that Sting actually had some romantical interest in her, it made her heart flutter.

Suddenly, the door slammed open, effectively waking everyone up. Maria was there looking sinister, as well as pleased with herself. Her lipstick was dark and her eyeshadow smokey. Her dress was blood red as were her nails. She reminded Juvia of Minerva and that frightened her.

"Good evening girls. I see we're all positively glowing. I want that glow for myself."

She walked over the the machine kept at the side of the room and her heels clacked as she went on. The others all watched her before she pulled the lever. They all gasped when they could feel a tug at their coils. One of the other noble women that Juvia had met, Lux was the first to realise what was happening. Maria was ready to dry them of their yin without any warning.

"SHE REALLY IS SUCKING US DRY!"

Hoshi screamed as she was the first to be depleted and she passed out. Stella, Tsuki, Yue, Krul, Nyx, Nocte, Lux, Asteri all fell next. Juvia was panicking as she grabbed onto the bars, suddenly wishing she was stronger. How could she let this happen in front of her own eyes, wasn't she meant to save them? That's why she allowed herself to be captured, not to watch them all get the yin sucked out of them!

"STOP THIS RIGHT NOW MARIA! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO STEAL FROM OTHERS!"

"Oh shut up, mage. You'll get your turn. Where's your bravado now, huh? Not so tough now that you can see what I can do, right? Did I also tell you that this is all being televised?! I want your guild and the rest of the world to watch you suffer as I rip you from your magic and your yin."

Juvia gritted her teeth as she gripped even harder at the bars. "I don't care who's watching, I'm going to finish you. The Luna goddess will not be merciful on you."

Maria's eyes twinkled with glee when she felt herself being powered by everyone else's yin.

"But I'm not doing anything violent. The Luna will forgive me as soon as I reach the altar for confession. The Luna is merciful."

Juvia growled at her, but otherwise stayed in her cage. She looked all around her as she saw the other girls lying unconscious. She couldn't believe that this was happening. Maria was even filming the whole fiasco. She knew what the meant, their world was going to come to light. The people who were supposed to be kept in the shadows, everyone was going to know about them now. Fairy Tail was going to watch her get wiped of all her magic and none of them would be able to do anything.

She watched as Maria pushed another button and the roof was being pulled back. Juvia looked up and she was suddenly looking at the night sky. She was about to ask what that was going to do, but she soon saw what Maria was getting at. There it was, the source of her powers, the full moon was back after 28 days.

"That power of yours, it's mine!"

Juvia felt her magic being sucked from her as she screamed in agony. She felt as though her magic coils was being ripped apart and dried up and she bent over in pain. She was crippled from the pain, but she refused to fall. She needed to keep standing, to show Maria that she wasn't through with her yet.

"GYAAAAAAA!"

"You really do have so much magic running through you! I want it all, all of it! I don't know how an unbeliever like you is allowed to have so much magic! Your vast powers over the waters, the seas and the oceans! It's not human to be able to control rain. Give it to me, Juvia Lockser, or should I say Juvia Luna! GIVE IT TO ME!"

Juvia was going through the process for a longer amount of time than everyone else had gone through. She didn't know how much magic she had, but now she was aware that she had a lot. It was all starting to make more sense.

Finally, she was done. Juvia felt herself falling forward and she quickly grabbed onto the bars for support. Maria licked her lips as she made her way over to Juvia's cell. Reaching through the bar, she stroked Juvia's face in a patronizing manner. Juvia didn't even have the strength to pull away, but she mustered all of her energy to throw a glare her way. Maria chuckled at the weak attempt to try and scare her away

"Thank you very much, Juvia, your magic is...delicious.."

With that, she slapped Juvia's face and she was gone. Juvia was panting heavily as her eyes roamed over the other girls. She felt herself blacking out from the slap and from the fact that her magic had just been so rudely ripped out of her body.

"I'm so...sorry guys..."

With that, her eyes rolled to the back of her head as she fell backwards.

~x~

Sting's eyes were wide with shock and the whole room was silent. The lacrimaTv had been turned on automatically and the screams of all the girls had been heard. Sting had seen Juvia and his eyes hadn't left her. He saw the way all of her magic had left her body before she crumpled to the ground and was left alone.

Sting's eyes moved over to Hikari and he could feel an ominous chill coming from her. He had never seen her this angry before. The presence that she had around her was usually chill and relaxing, but not now. She felt sinister and cold and he knew that this was her yin side coming out.

They had all been preparing to leave to see who was going to be the next crowned Luna Queen when this had all taken place.

"Surely the Queen must be ready for Maria. There's no way she'll let her win." Daisuke was looking over at Hikari, but there was no response. Instead, she turned her head towards Sting. She wasn't here to play games anymore. As fun loving and goofy Hikari was, she knew when she had to be serious. She had just watched her first friend have her magic brutally torn away from her and Maria was trying to walk away free. Not on her watch.

"Go and get Juvia. Make sure she's alright. Don't come and help me until she's safe."

Sting's heart leapt with joy when she told him to and get juvia, but he remembered that it was their job to keep Hikari safe, even to the expense of their own lives.

"But-"

"I don't want to hear any arguments. I don't care about the fact that it's your job to protect me, I care about the safety of Juvia and the 15 others who were captured by Maria. Juvia is probably my best friend and watching her and the rest of them get hurt...Maria needs to be punished. She will definitely have an advantage now that she has Juvia's magical power added onto her own, but I will face her. I won't even let the Queen get involved. This is between Maria and I. I'm not letting anyone else get hurt. Luckily, she wasn't able to get a lick of Juvia's yin, otherwise we would have more trouble than we bargained for."

Sting looked at Hikari as she stared back at him. Eventually, he nodded his head. She was the client after all, so whatever she said had to happen.

"Fine. I'll go now. Stay safe."

"Of course. I'll be taking the guys with me because I know Maria will bring her men too. You take care, Sting."

Sting nodded and dashed out of the castle, heading straight for where he knew that Juvia would be. He knew that she was magicless right now and her coils had to be damaged. He swore as he bounded through the streets and forests. He had a way to give her her magic back temporarily, but it was going to be seen all over the world on the LacrimaTv.

"Screw it, if my guild and Fairy Tail are watching it, they're gonna have to accept how much I love her and that our guild divide won't tear us apart. She's my mate and as a dragon slayer, I am nothing without her."

He didn't care anymore. He had learnt not to be bitter about it anymore. Spending his time with Juvia, he had become indifferent towards the rivlary between his guild and Fairy Tail and rather, only felt disappointment when Juvia told him of how they were treating her. Other than that, he no longer cared that they were the strongest guild, because kudos to them.

"Juvia's changed me."

With Fairy Tail

The guild was in turmoil. Some didn't know whether it was a film and Juvia was acting, or if it were real. Makarov hounded Mira for details and she tried to find the log history and see what Juvia was supposed to be doing.

"Juvia is currently on a job to be the handmaid to a noblewoman for a month and there was a job going as well for someone to be their personal bodyguard. It doesn't say anything else master!"

The man wore worry on his face. "Not even an address?"

Mira shook her head. "The person who actually advertised this job has nothing to do with the noblewoman. Apparently she sent it out to an advertiser to do it for her, they met with him before he sent them to where they need to go."

Makarov nodded and ran his hand down his face. Gajeel and Natsu walked up to him, with Erza in tow.

"Gramps, do you need us to go and find her?"

The man nodded. "First of all, we need to make some calls to find out exactly where she could be. I can't send you guys on a wild goose chase and waste anymore time. Those girls along with Juvia will die if not attended to. To have your magic ripped out of you so violently, it will cause stress and tension on the body before falling apart."

Laki spoke up. "Master! I saw Juvia around three weeks ago when she first started her job! I can give you all the details of around where she was, but other than that, I know nothing."

Makarov nodded, happy that someone knew something. "That's all we'll have to go by then!"

Wendy stepped up with tears in her eyes, but she tried her hardest not to let them fall. "That means I should go with them. I need to heal them all up. I will be fine, I've widened my magic coils."

Makarov shook his head. "Healing the other girls would be fine, but Juvia? You would deplete yourself before even halfway getting there. Did you see how long it took for Juvia's magic to be snatched away from her? 5 minutes! That is extremely large. Abnormally large, but it explains a lot about her."

"Master, look!"

They all turned their attention back to the Tv and saw that the outside of Maria's castle was now being filmed. There they saw so many guards protecting the place, but there was one person who caught their attention.

Natsu's eyes widened. "Is that STING?!"

There was a murmur in the air. Why the hell would a member of Sabretooth be there? Was he helping them, or was he there to save Juvia and the rest of the girls?

"What the hell is he doing there?!" Gray was now staring intensely at the Tv. If he was going to hurt Juvia even more...He would kill him.

Back with Sting

Sting was standing there in his white drive form. He had subconsciously gone into this mode the more he thought about Juvia dying in her cell.

He reached the front and saw the amount of guards that had been placed there. They were nothing to him. They were mere flies in his way to his mate and he was going to squash them all without any mercy. No one was going to stand in his way to save his mate.

"Where is Juvia?"

They all stared at him before one started laughing. That set everyone else off as they were laughing at him. Sting didn't mind, they weren't gonna have any teeth by the time he was through with them.

"Wait, so you came alone? To come and do what? Save your partner? You must think so little of us, because I don't know how you think you can single handedly-"

He was rudely cut off when Sting shot forward and right hooked his temple. The man flew and was knocked out instantly.

Sting punched both of his fists together, his hands lighting up white. He wasn't smiling, he looked furious. His eyes were shining an odd blue colour and a few of the men stepped back. There was no way he was human.

"Let me introduce myself, shall I? I'm Sting Eucliffe. Member of Sabretooth. White dragon slayer. Personal bodyguard to Hikari. You see, you guys already tried to kill my boss when I first took this job and I got my revenge. Now you've taken my partner and stripped her away of her magic. I'm getting pissed off now. GIVE ME MY MATE BACK!"

He lunged forward without any warning before effectively knocking out everyone that stood in his way. He smashed his way through them all before running on, using his nose to try and find Juvia.

Instead, he ran into two people that he hadn't seen since Juvia introduced them to him. The female's eyes widened when she saw Sting and the trail of people that he had left unconscious. Her husband stepped in front of her as if to protect her.

"Sting? What's going on, why have you knocked them all out?"

His eyes narrowed at them also, thinking that they were in on it, but they didn't look like they had anything to hide.

"Maria has been the one capturing the noble women who are currently missing. Juvia was also kidnapped."

Sue's head snapped up in surprise as she pushed past Boze. "Maria kidnapped Juvia?! But, Juvia is too strong to allow herself to be kidnapped!"

Sting nodded his head. "There were a few hostages that Juvia said she would willingly go with Maria's men if remained unharmed. Juvia has been here for almost two weeks now."

Boze swore. "So this is what Maria does when she says she wants time to herself. We couldn't even tell you where Juvia is currently, we knew nothing about it."

Sting nodded. "It's okay, I'm a dragon slayer, I'll use my nose to find her. I'll sort everything out with them, you guys get going to where Maria is. Maria somehow has camera set up as well, she's making the whole country watch."

Sue looked like she was close to tears. Their ex guildmate had been here the whole time and they didn't even know.

"Sting, please make sure Juvia is alright. She was my best female friend."

"Don't worry, I'll make sure she's fine. Now go."

They all nodded to each other as they ran in different directions.

Eventually, Sting ran through the room where all the girls were kept and his eyes fell onto Juvia. His heart stopped in his chest as he saw his mate on the floor, her hair sprawled out around her.

"Shit, stay with me Juvia."

He ran over to her and pulled the bars apart with his strength before gently grabbing her body and pulling her into his arms. He stroked her face and moved her hair out of the way. He had to make sure that there were no tears in his eyes. He felt like when he had lost Lector all over again.

"Juvia? Juve, wake up. Please wake up, I don't want to have to wake you up this way..."

He gently shook her, but she still wasn't waking up and he sighed. He didn't want to mark her without her consent, but it was the only way for her to have form of magic within her. He didn't know how long it will take for Hikari to fight with Maria and for her magic to come back.

"Sorry Juvia, please forgive me."

Sting's fangs grew and he angled her neck so that he was able to bite her. Her scent was intoxicating and she looked so beautiful. Under very different circumstances, she would be conscious and happy to do so, but not like this. He also knew that everyone was now watching on Tv and the dragon slayers at Fairy Tail were going to be pissed off with him. He didn't care at this point. They should understand.

He bent his head down and pierced her skin at the base of her neck. He pushed his fangs through and pumped his magic through her body. Usually, he would have been able to feel her magic coming back through to him, but this was an emergency mate, so his mouth was empty.

Just as he was about to pull away in anger that it wasn't working, he felt a hand weakly touch his head and pull him back in. His eyes widened in surprise as he felt something else in his mouth. It tasted quite dark, but she made it seem so sweet and it was like a delicious elixir in his mouth.

Eventually, he pulled away and Juvia was staring up at him through her midnight blue eyes and she smiled gently, looking exhausted. He smiled, making sure there were no tears in his eyes.

"You're awake."

"I am. I don't hate you, Sting." She sat up slowly and kissed his cheek gently and gave him a dazzling smile. "You didn't have to mark me though, I'm sure there's someone else you would rather mate with."

Sting ran his finger over her mating mark and she shivered. He looked her right in the eyes with nothing but a strong resolve. "I wanted to mark you. I just wanted to do it when you wanted it as well."

He stood up and helped her to her feet. She swayed a little bit and leaned against Sting when she got headrush, but after a while, she was able to stand up by herself.

"It's okay Sting, I do want it. I guess this is what you mean by you have something to explain, huh?"

He nodded his head and Juvia smiled at him.

"The Luna goddess, she unlocked my bloodline. It's a long story to tell, but all you have to know is that I am now able to use my yin. Not very well at all, seeing as I haven't had any training to control it, but she's given me one spell for now to help our situation."

Sting raised an eyebrow. "You have yin? Since when?"

He watched as she walked up to the other cages and started chanting something under her breath.

"Since my heritage was exposed to me. Turns out I'm the Luna goddesses descendant. Every Lockser is a direct descendant, hence why my water magic is so strong. Maria knew that, and that's why she had me captured. What she didn't know that if she took away my water magic, she makes room for me to use my yin. While unconscious, the Luna spoke to me and helped me unlock my yin."

She walked up to every girl in their cage and did the same chanting as Sting watched her quietly. As soon as she was done, she clasped her hands together and made a short prayer before all of the girls eyes opened.

Sting jumped, being completely freaked out by the way they had all simultaneously opened their eyes. "That was creepy!"

Juvia giggled as she opened all their cages. Tsuki grabbed onto Juvia and looked her over to make sure if she was okay. Juvia was touched by her action and everyday she spent with talking to Tsuki, the more she was reminded of Erza.

"The yin is strong within you! What on Earth happened when we got our yin sucked out of us?"

"Maria sucked out my whole magic, rendering me unconscious. The Luna came to help me and now I have my yin unlocked."

Yue clapped her hands happily before Krul looked around, looking for the culprit. When she got her hands on Maria's neck, it was all over for her. No one steals other people's yin and gets away with it.

"So where is Maria now? Probably at the ceremony."

Sting nodded. "Hikari is going to fight her. We have to go quickly."

Krul looked over at Sting and smirked at Juvia. The said bluenette's face turned a nice crimson colour when she realised why Krul was giving her that look, as the other girls giggled and followed suit.

"I see that you guys are very close with each other, despite being from separate guilds."

Juvia was ready to kill herself there and then. She hadn't told the other girls that they were being filmed and that they were on Tv and she knew her guild was going to want answers, Mira especially. Mira was going to enjoy the story of how this mission went. Sting on the other hand was loving the attention. He gave a wide grin and wrapped his arms around her shoulders, drawing her in to his side.

"Of course we are, she's my mate. By the way, Maria is filming everything here and probably her fight as well."

Stella scowled. "Just what is she trying to achieve by doing that. Anyway, let's go and aid Hikari as much as we can. Let's hope that the cameras at least get my good side, right?" She flipped her long blonde hair over her shoulder and led the whole team to the castle.

~x~

"Hikari isn't on my level, old hag, I want to fight you for the spot! You think you'll win? I've got all this yin running through me, there's no way you can beat me! You're just scared, scared that you'll lose to me."

The Luna Queen had her eyes closed as she sat on her throne. It was the night of the full moon where the Luna goddess will choose her next direct servant as the Luna Queen. She wasn't stupid, she knew that Maria had been the one to kidnap 15 of the noble women and suck out the yin from their bodies so that she had more power than anyone possible. She still wasn't going to be able to defeat her though.

"I think you're more scared of me. You think I'm beneath you, but you know I'm not."

Hikari stood, ready in her Luna battle gear. She couldn't forgive Maria for the things she had done. She had gone too far this time and she wasn't sure of the fate of the others, especially Juvia. Sucking out people's yin was different from sucking out one's magic. Yin can be nurtured back, just slowly because they were adults. Yin came from a person's soul, unlike magic which came from magic coils. Juvia's magic coils will most definitely be destroyed and the stress from having her coils damaged will kill her.

"After what you did to Juvia and the others, I will be the one to make sure you're crawling on your knees in front of the Luna!"

Maria laughed as she faced Hikari. "You want to know why I attacked that pathetic water mage? It's because of her family line. You might not know-"

"I am aware of who she is, Maria. Juvia Lockser, otherwise known as Juvia Luna. I'm well aware of who she is, but I would never take advantage of her like that. I'm quite happy to call her friend, my best friend even. My best friend, that you've gone and hurt. May the Luna forgive me, but I need to take you down now. Crescent slicer!"

Similar to Juvia's water slicer, Hikari swiped her hand out in front of her and black jets came flying at Hikari. Just like the name had said, they looked like crescent moons flying in the air. Maria just laughed and crushed the magic with her hand. Hikari didn't even looked phased, she looked like she had expected it.

"You think that you can fight me with Yin when I have all this Yin running through me? You do make me laugh, Kari-chan. I'm going to show you my true powers! Orb of the night!"

In between her hands, an orb was made. Hikari could see the power that was literally overflowing from the orb and she knew that she had to minimize the damage somehow. Maria punched the orb and projectiles started flying out of the orb. Hikari's eyes widened, she never remembered the spell being able to do that!

Effortlessly, she dodged and flipped around all the projectiles, spinning around them. The other noble women were at the side, watching and waiting for when they would have to pin Maria down. "Satellite smash!"

Before Hikari knew it, she was being flattened by a huge mass of Yin. She groaned heavily, but Maria made it stay on her back.

"I'm going to run the show now. Stay out of my way, Kari-chan, I'm going to be the queen. After that, I'm going to make sure that no one is queen until I am old and grey and dead."

Maria laughed before she gasped, watching Hikari pushed the pseudo-moon off of her back.

"Y-you shouldn't be able to do that! WHY CAN YOU DO THAT?!"

Hikari grunted as sweat started to pile on her eyebrow. She had the moon on her back as she slowly started getting up. Her legs were shaking and it was obvious that the moon was extremely heavy. Despite it being smaller than the real moon, it was almost the same weight. She smirked at Maria, despite holding something so heavy

Hikari then crushed the fake moon in her own hands, Maria's eyes going wide, as well as everyone else's. The Luna Queen merely smiled before tilting her head down, almost as if she knew that that was going to happen.

"You never trained a day in your life Maria, because you knew that this is what you wanted to do with yourself. You wanted to add everyone else's Yin into your body, then you added the magic of the Lockser family into your Yin as well. While you were doing that, not only did I train my Yin, I also trained my body. I worked with the gravity ten times the Earthland's gravity and weights more than you could ever imagine. That also means that I've built up enough room for the amount of Yin my body could ever possibly hold. You stole Yin that isn't yours and your body isn't ready. I give it about ten minutes before your body starts to break down. Ten minutes is all I need."

She smirked and Maria grew angry. "That's what you think. I'll kill you before you have the chance to blink."

"I just blinked while you said that."

Maria deadpanned before disappearing. Hikari was ready for her. "Celestial body: akatsuki!"

Maria turned into a black mass and covered Hikari's body as white shimmering needles began to fly out. Hikari didn't even flinch as she readied her own counter.

"Planetoid burst!"

It was almost like a bomb had been sent off and Maria was turned back into her human form and she skidded across the floor. She stared at the ground in shock. She actually felt pain. She stared up at Hikari. Her gear was a little torn, but other than that, Hikari looked strong. Too strong.

Suddenly, the doors burst open and in came the captured 15 plus Juvia and Sting. Maria knew this was definitely the end. She was going to to die here. But not without a fight. Who knows, maybe her plan will go accordingly and then she won't die.

"Yes, I should just think of the positives."

Juvia's eyes landed on Maria's form and she felt anger surge through her veins. She felt like her eyes were changing colour as she continued to glare at Maria.

"You."

Juvia could feel a burning sensation running through her body. It felt malevolent and she knew that in her state of anger, she shouldn't be using this sort of power. Her Yin was overwhelming. Although she was of the Luna's line, it didn't mean that she had any control over the yin that she had within her. It just meant that she had a lot of yin, she still needed someone like Hikari to teach her how to utilize it.

She calmed herself down as she looked over at Hikari. "You seem to have this under control."

Hikari nodded and focused her attention back on Maria. "I do. Please do not get involved. This has been pending. A fight between Maria and I. I don't need any help."

Maria seemed to relax when she saw that Juvia won't be getting involved. "That's a grave mistake made on your part, Kai-chan. You're going to need her help by the time I'm through with you!, you arrogant piece of shit!"

Hikari closed her eyes and inhaled deeply before exhaling. "No. it's your mistake for underestimating me, Maria. You're not aware of what I'm able to do and now you'll get to see it all first hand. Heavenly body..."

Maria's smirk dropped when she heard the name of the spell. Her being able to use the celestial body was already such a feat that was very hard to top. She was so sure that only Krul, Tsuki and Lux were the only ones able to use the celestial body. She thought that Hikari wasn't able to use it and now she knew why.

Only those who used the heavenly body had qualities to be the Queen.

Hikari's body was covered in a gold aura. Her eyes were gold and her hair was no longer lilac, but was snow white. The other candidates looked with pride. They knew that Hikari was going to be the only one strong enough to become a Queen.

"Heavenly body: new moon."

Holding her hand out in front of her, she made a death scythe appear in her hands before she disappeared. Maria's eyes widened.

"Shit! Celestial body!"

Both of them were gone, their attacks strong and fierce that no one could keep up with watching it. Maria was sweating bullets. Hikari was faster. Way faster and stronger in this form. This was a form fit for a Queen. Her celestial body had always made her feel superior, mostly because she had never thought that any of the candidates would have ever exhibited being able to use the heavenly body. Until now that is.

"GAH!"

Hikari struck her scythe into Maria's side before sending multiple crescent moons her way. Being in a haze of pain, Maria took the attack head on. That didn't stop her though. She gathered enough yin and ran forward.

"Celestial body: planetoid burst!"

She tried to explode the yin around Hikari, but she wasn't even phased. "Heavenly body: pumpkin shield!"

Just like the name, there was a shield surrounding Maria's body before the attack was reflected. "Heavenly body: half moon counter!"

Hikari swiveled in a half moon shape before the planetoid burst was sent back towards Maria. Hikari sent it back covered with the heavenly body aura, meaning that Maria wasn't able to block it. Even though she was powerful in her celestial body form, the heavenly body was stronger. Leagues stronger.

"Heavenly body: old moon."

Maria didn't know how Hikari wasn't exhausted. She had Hikari where she had wanted, and all of a sudden she had turned the tables around. Too quickly for her to even recover from. She knew that her celestial body was weak compared to even that of Lux, Krul and Tsuki's because she had only found her celestial body a year ago. Tsuki was more of a prodigy who pretty much had her celestial body since she was a young teen, Lux was practically Tsuki's rival and Krul was more violent minded. The three of them didn't have any wishes to become Queen, so she always thought that the position would be hers.

"I just can't let you win, Kari-chan. I will be Queen."

Hikari raised an eyebrow and shook her head. "Tell that to the old moon."

It started off as a little black energy ball at the tip of her index finger, before it started growing. "This spell, it's indisputable. It is a cleanser. It only grows when it looks at the amount of sins that you've committed. You need to ask for forgiveness. I already know what your plans were. You wanted to wreak havoc and then ask the Luna goddess for forgiveness, knowing you would have received it. The only thing is, it doesn't work when you think you can take the Luna for a fool. She's a goddess for a reason. You're not being sincere with your asking for forgiveness. That's why the old moon is law. It looks at the past. It judges you based on your past. This is where I stop you."

Maria was shaking with fear and rage. How dare she see right through her plans?! How dare she think she can stop her? How dare she make up such a spell?!

"Not on my watch! Celestial body: orb of night!"

Using the same attack as before, hoping that the projectiles would make Hikari lose her concentration as well as attack her, she was horrified to find that the projectiles added onto the energy orb.

"W-what?" she asked weakly. How was that even possible? Her own attack is about to turn on her?"

"This spell is designed to draw out one's evil and their sins. You attacking me maliciously just adds to the power of this spell. The more you attack me, the more the spell grows stronger. It's ready."

Taking all the hits from the crescent moon reinforced with with the heavenly body form, it made her whole body sore. She wasn't able to move and she knew that this spell was going to have some sort of devastating effect.

"I place this law of the old moon upon Hidoidesu Maria. May she be purged of her sins and the Luna will punish her accordingly."

She flung the ball of yin straight at Maria and many turned away, not knowing how the spell works. The Queen stood up at that exact moment as she watched the orb collide with Maria's body. The noise of her body being purged drowned out the sounds of her scream before the orb disappeared. She had fainted while standing up before her body dropped. Krul came forward, but Hikari stopped her.

"No. You must leave her for ten minutes. Right now, she is facing judgement from the Luna goddess herself. Only myself or the Queen can move her body due to the heavenly body form."

Krul nodded and stepped back. Hikari was usually very bubbly and crazy, but not today. She looked like a young woman who had lived too many lifetimes of war. She must have gotten extremely tired of Maria's constant hate towards her, wanting to marry the Shadow King and in general, her evil nature.

"Hikari-chan, are you okay?"

Hikari turned at the sound of her name and found Juvia standing there. She didn't look great at all. She looked like she hadn't washed in ages and her maid uniform was filthy. That didn't stop her from falling into the water mage's arms though. There tears in her eyes as she did so, happy to see the water mage.

"Juvia! I was so overwhelmed by the fight that I didn't even have time to come and greet you properly! We've got loads to talk about and-"

"Slow down Hikari-chan! First of all, come out of your heavenly body form, it will drain you out. Secondly, I'm disgusting, stop hugging me and thirdly, we have a ceremony to conduct."

Hikari grinned as she pulled back. "Yeah, you do stink just a little bit I guess," she said, making a gesture with her fingers. Juvia swatted her as the two of them hugged once more.

There was a sound of slow clapping and they all turned to see who it was coming from. They saw that it was the Luna Queen herself and she was grinning at them all.

"What a fight huh?! Your generation has definitely been the craziest one to come through, and I thought that my lot were bad! Hmm, actually, we had more kidnappings and assassination attempts than you guys had, but whatever. Well, the ceremony can't go on with you girls looking like that. Luckily, I had your handmaids bring the clothes that you were each going to wear, because I knew that you would all be back by the time the ceremony was ready to start. Please, go and shower, before we begin. I'm giving everyone two hours to come back."

Hikari was about to walk with Sting and Juvia before she realised something. "But your highness, Maria has set up cameras that show the whole world what we're doing. Isn't that bad?"

The Queen looked thoughtful before she shrugged with a smile on her face, not really minding it at all. "Maybe it's time for the world to know about us. Not anyone can use Yin, it's even more rare than the use of magic. Maybe we can just show off the ceremony and who will be the next Queen, as well as our importance to society.."

Stella giggled from next to her hand maid. "I think we all know who that will be."

Hikari rolled her eyes with a smile and a blush. She didn't know why everyone was saying it would be her and why they were so accepting of it. Well, Maria wasn't. "Let's just go and get ready, shall we? What should we do about Maria?"

The Queen waved them off. "That should be nothing for you to worry about. I will need to borrow your maid in waiting after the ceremony though."

Juvia blinked from next to Sting. "Me?" The Queen nodded. "Oh, okay."

"For now, just go and get ready. We need to look our best for the cameras!"


So, how was that chapter for ya?! I hope to GOD it was okay, because, well, I'll be upset if it wasn't lol. It would be downright disappointing for you guys to be waiting for this chapter and then for it to be a piece of crap.

Okay, let's get some ironing done (I mean, let's straighten out some things)! The Heavenly body that Hikari has is NOT the same as Jellal's magic. I am aware that he has magic of the same name, but it's nothing to do with that. Basically, for this chapter, I wanted attacks named after the moon. I literally google 'synonyms for the moon' and it took me a website full of different names for the moon (yes, even pumpkin is a different name for the moon. Not even cheese was on the list). Celestial and heavenly body were also different names for the moon. Orb of the night is one. Like literally, there are so many cool names for the moon. I'm gonna start calling it pumpkin.

Maria's last name 'Hidoidesu' is Japanese for 'cruel'. She's a nasty piece of work, so she needed a cruel last name!

The spell, 'old moon' is basically the Yin version of Fairy Law. Just see it like that lol

If there are any other things that seemed to have boggled your minds a little, please do PM me and ask, I'll clarify everything! Oh, I apologise for the boring fight as well. You can tell that I didn't really put any thought into it.

Please don't forget to rate or hate, flames or floods! I cherish each and everyone of you lovely people, as well as any nice reviews that you have for me!
