Gotham City ||August 27, 06:17 EDT ||

Saber and the rest of the Team excluding Kitsune, Angel, Artemis and Celestial aren't present to face the Clayface. All of them got defeated by Clayface.

"Kit... sune." Saber muttered her name and closing his eyes.

A dark silhouette with wings are falling down to break the window glass roof. Revealing Kitsune with Angel holding her back.

"Suirai doragon-kyū! (Water-lightning dragon sphere!)" Using her Water Dragon Slayer magic combining her lightning, to trap Clayface inside of her sphere. Kitsune trapped Clayface inside of her sphere seeing he's unable to reverting himself back as a humanoid clay.

Dispersing her sphere but the lightning itself still struck inside of Clayface body to avoid getting conscious. Batman showed up together with Celestial, he's not clearly happy seeing the result of the situation.

"Celestial, go and check them up." Batman ordered her.

"Ha-hai! (yes!)" Celestial answered and checking their wounds.

Kitsune knows Aqualad is going to get a lecture by the Dark Knight itself. Base on their performance, Aqualad is clearly not focusing his mind but from somewhere else. It makes her curious what Aqualad is thinking right now.


Mount Justice || August 27, 07:58 EDT ||

"I need to talk to Aqualad." Batman informed them. Once the whole team are in Mount Justice. "The rest of you, hit the showers and head home."

"Head home? I am home." Superboy grumbled.

"Just Aqualad." Noticing the boy wonder is staying with the Atlantean.

Aaliyah decided to stay at the beach to feel the seawater on her bare feet. She closes her eyes to feel the calm and cold sea as it goes up to wrap around her body.

"Aaliyah." Someone called her behind as the sea itself went goes down.

"Kaldur-san." Aaliyah called his name. "Have you done your talked with Batman?" She asks him curiously in her soft tone.

"I do." Kaldur approached the blonde girl to see the sun is rising up. "I thank you for helping us."

"There's nothing to thank at all." She brushing off his gratefulness. "Are you going to Atlantis?" Aaliyah asks him curiously.

"Wha-"

"You couldn't stop thinking about your home." She stared at his grey eyes. "You get distracted and not knowing your surroundings." Aaliyah stared at the ocean.

"Arthur is right about you being observant." He smiled in amused and sighs softly.

"You should go to Atlantis, Kaldur-san." Aaliyah giving her opinions. "I don't know... what's on your mind but maybe... coming home might clear your head and your decision. Whether to stay with us or not, it's entirely up to you."

Aaliyah patted his shoulder and just when she is about to walk away. Kaldur grabs her hand to stop Aaliyah from walking away. "Eh, Kaldur-san?"

"What if... I choose to stay at Atlantis, Aaliyah?" Kaldur questioned her.

It stings her heart if Kaldur is retiring himself as Aqualad and stay Atlantis forever. She didn't want to become a selfish person because of the decisions they made. The Water Dragon Slayer stayed silent before opening her mouth to speak and choosing her words very carefully.

"The heart what it wants, Kaldur-san." Giving him vague answers. "Whatever your decision is, I'll accept it and I'm sure... the others will understand your decision."

Kaldur nodded his head. "Perhaps someday... you can go to Atlantis with me? I heard Knight and Arthur you wanted to see the Atlantis beauty itself." He asks her.

"I am looking forward to it, Kaldur-kun." She smiled gently and Kaldur's heart skips a beat seeing her gentle smile.


Kyoto, Japan || August 27, 14:30 EDT||

Aaliyah, Ruby and Zara in her child form are going in an amusement park to enjoying their day. They know it's not for a whole day relaxation for them knowing the crime might call them again sooner or later.

"Aaliyah, look! A huge teddy bear!" Zara jumped in happily and pointing at the stuffed toy. "Can we take it at home, please!?"

"Sure." Aaliyah chuckled and opening paid ¥10 yen for 3 arrows to hit in every 3 targets in the middle. "Can we have the indigo big blue teddy bear, please?" She asks the vendor politely, completely clueless how this girl manages to hit in the middle.

"Su-sure." He stuttered and handing the teddy bear to the strawberry-blonde haired girl.

"Thank you!" Zara said happily and struggling to hold the teddy bear by herself.

"Do you need help, Zara?" Ruby volunteered to hold the bear for her. It amused to them to see the height of the bear matches the scarlet-haired girl's height.

"Yes, please." She handed the bear over Ruby. "What's next, Aaliyah?"

"Why don't we have some lunch?" Aaliyah suggested. "I'm sure everyone is hungry."

"Sure. Let's go~! I want sushi!" Zara yelled happily and Aaliyah chuckled.

"Sushi it is." Aaliyah lead them to the restaurant.

It's a relaxing day for Aaliyah to have an off with Ruby and Zara around. The Nelson brothers decided to let them enjoy their day whereas they are going to the National Museum.

"Ne, Aaliyah?" Zara called the blonde girl. "Do you think Kaldur will stay his home to be with them?" She asks her curiously.

Aaliyah tends to forget Zara is just an 8-year-old child that needs to act on her own age. Rather than acting like a teenager or adult whenever she changes her form.

"I don't even know, Zara." Aaliyah answered. "When was the last time he visits his home? I'm sure... Kaldur-kun... can choose the decision wisely."

"I could've asked the same thing for us." Ruby spoke up and playing her straw. "We've been here for 8 months? No word from them yet."

"I miss them so much... especially Lily." Zara muttered sadly and Aaliyah looked down on the lap, sadly.

"I'm sure... we're coming home someday." Aaliyah assured them.

"The question is when?"

"When the time comes."


Aaliyah decided to cook dinner for themselves. She hums while cooking chicken curry in a random song.

"AAHH!" Aaliyah jumped in surprised to hear Ruby's screaming and she immediately turns off the stove.

"Ruby!" Aaliyah cried out her name and dashing towards the living room to see an intruder is inside of the house. "Who are you?" She asks in a stern tone.

"I'm glad to see you girls!" The pale blonde girl said happily as her eyes sparkle. "Aaliyah Dreyar, Ruby Hart and Zara!"

"Wait a minute..." Aaliyah looking at the pale blonde girl. "It can't be... Mavis Vermilion, the first Master and founder of Fairy Tail."

"EH!? THAT'S THE FIRST MASTER!?" Zara asks with a disbelief look on her face. Didn't expecting the first Master happens to be a child, not the adult.

"There's no mistake." She purses her lip and remembering the History book she read about the Founders of Fairy Tail. "How did you come here and know us?"

"I've been looking for you three." Mavis told them. "It's hard considering you three are still grieving." She smiled sadly at them.

"Where are they now?" Ruby questioned the First Master. "Are they safe?"

"They are and trapped inside of my Fairy Sphere." Mavis explained. "They're sleeping and not going to age whereas you three will."

"Why didn't you send everyone here? On earth?" Aaliyah questioned Mavis.

"If I bring everyone, there's no guarantee you guys will destroy everything." They laugh nervously knowing Mavis is right. "You three are the opposite ones. Which is why you three are chosen to be here."

"Why did you send us for?" Zara questioned Mavis curiously.

"You three are the chosen ones to help the Justice League and Young Justice." Mavis closes her eyes. "This world is filled with darkness and it's your job to bring out lightness."

"Filled with darkness..." Aaliyah muttered.

"Yeah, there is a dangerous enemy lurking behind the darkness. Waiting for the opportunity to strike us. I ask you three to stop them at all cost." Mavis explained with a serious look on her face.

"Who are they?" She questioned her.

"That... I don't know who." Her body is started to fade away. "You three need to be strong to defeat them, when they're going to show themselves in the future."

"We will." She vowed the First Master.

"Thank you three... till we meet again." Raising her right arm to reveal their Fairy Tail signature of seeing each other again.

Three girls followed her until Mavis is out of their sight. They stared at each other and know what they're thinking. The mages are going to train hard to prepare themselves for facing the unknown enemies soon.
