"Gramps, I wanna go on another mission by myself again." said Leora. "I object your idea." said Erza. "Why?" asked Leora. "Your powers are unstable again." said the master. "It'll be dangerous for you and everyone else if you lose control." "I'm just going to the next town to catch some bandits. I won't lose control." said Leora. "Please, gramps. Let me go." The master thought for a moment. Just then, Loke appeared. "Don't worry master, I'll look after her." said Loke. "But, how? I'm not going with Leora-chan." said Lucy. "Leora can use celestial magic. That way, I can connect with her. And if anything happens I'll be there to stop her and bring her back." reassured Loke. "Hm... Okay then. I'll let you go." said the master. "Yes! Thanks, gramps! Thanks, Leo-nii!" yelled Leora happily. "I'll give you half of my money when I get back, Lucy." "You don't have to do that, Leora-chan! I'm not even going with you." said Lucy, waving her hands. "But you're short on rent. And I'll be taking Leo-nii away from you for a while." said Leora. "It's fine! We'll be going on a mission after you return." said Lucy. "Okay then." said Leora. "But Leo-nii, you have to go to Lucy first if she ever needs help. She's your first priority." "Okay. I'll stick to that." said Loke. "No, Leora-chan matters more!" said Lucy. "No, you're a celestial mage and I'm not. I can take care of myself. You need Leo-nii to be with you during emergency times." said Leora. "Fine. But you need to call Loki if you're in serious trouble too!" demanded Lucy. "Deal." said Leora.
"Leora, take this." said Loke. He handed over a black bandanna with gold stripes over to Leora. "It's a gift from us. With this, you can pass through the spirit world without using too much of your magic." Leora took the bandanna and immediately tied it around her head. She jumped towards Loke and hugged him. "Thanks, Leo-nii! Tell the others I said thanks to them too." said Leora with a big grin on her face. "Of course. Well then, I'll see ya later, Leora. Goodbye, everyone." said Loke as he returned to the Celestial Spirit World.
"I'll be going too! Bye everyone!" yelled Leora as she waved goodbye to everyone. Gajeel leaned on the door frame and held out a small bundle of metal rods to Leora. "Snack for you." said Gajeel with his signature smirk. "Thanks Gajeel-nii. See ya." said Leora as she accepted the rods and continued her path.
Leora walked all the way to the next town while eating the metal rods Gajeel gave her. She reached the next town by noon. She then went to meet up with the client, Mr. Bo. "Thank you for accepting my request." said Mr. Bo as he shook hands with Leora. "It's my pleasure, Mr. Bo. Can you tell me more about the bandits?" asked Leora. "Of course. There's a total of 5 bandits. One of them can blind people. There're already a few victims. We need to capture them before the situation gets worse." explained Mr. Bo. "Don't worry. I'll be sure to capture all of them. Do you have any rope by chance?" asked Leora. "Oh, yes. You can have as many as you like as long as you can capture them." said Mr. Bo. "Thank you. With these, I can tie them all up." said Leora. "Oh, one more thing. I'm worried about my wife and son who are at the market. Could you find them and escort them back here?" asked Mr. Bo as he held out a picture of his wife and son for Leora to see. "Of course, sir. I'll make sure they're safe." said Leora. "Well then. I wish you luck." said Mr. Bo.
Leora headed over to the market and saw people running away from the direction of the market. She sensed that something was wrong and immediately rushed over to the market. She noticed 5 people standing in the middle of all the chaos. She also saw her client's wife and son. "Hey! What do think you're doing?" asked Leora as she tried to get all the bandits attention on her. "What's it to ya, little girl?" asked one of the bandits. "I won't let you harm or steal from anyone!" yelled Leora. "Drop the bags!" ordered Leora. "Or what? You gonna come at us?" asked another bandit. "She can try all she wants. But why don't we play with some magic first?" asked the bandit in the middle. He cast a spell towards Leora. She easily dodges it, but she saw another one was aimed at the mother and son. She immediately rushed over to shield them. The attack hit the side of her head. "Please go hide. I'll escort you back to Mr. Bo when I'm done." said Leora. The mother and son nodded and quickly went to hide.
Leora turned back to the bandits. Her vision was getting blurry. The bandits all laughed at her. "Oh poor little girl. You can't see us now, can you?" asked the mage with a smirk. "I'll defeat you even if I'm blind!" yelled Leora as she charged towards the gang. The bandits easily dodged her attack. They stood around in a circle with Leora in the middle. Leora used her sense of smell to track down the bandits and attack them. They all dodged and continued to laugh at her. Leora finally managed to land a blow on one of them, startling the others. "That's it! No more messing around! You'll pay!" said the bandit that was hit as he punched Leora hard on the stomach. The others also joined in as well as they punched and kicked Leora. Leora tried blocking their attack and thought of a plan. She estimated the distance between the bandits and herself before attacking.
"Lightning Dragon's Shock!" yelled Leora as she emitted lighting out of her body. She shocked all the bandits out. Leora's blurry vision became clear again. She tied all the bandits up with the rope she brought with her. The town cheered happily as the bandits were finally caught. Leora then went over the her client's wife and son to escort them back to their house. Mr. Bo thanked Leora and payed her the reward. He also payed Leora an extra more for protecting his wife and son. Leora then bid them farewell and left.
As soon as Leora stepped outside of the house, she collapsed onto the ground. Loke immediately appeared beside of her. "Leora! Can you still move?" asked Loke worriedly. "No... I don't think I can." said Leora. "Let's go to the Celestial Spirit World. I'll get you fixed up there." said Loke as he lifted Leora up onto his arms before going back to his world.
"What happened to her?" asked Aquarius. "She's in pretty rough shape." said Scorpio. "She got blinded and was attacked by bandits." said Loke as he placed Leora gently onto a bed. "At least I still have my vision." said Leora with a grin. "This is not a time for laughs, Leora. You're hurt badly." said Loke as he takes bandages out of Leora's pocket. As soon as he placed the bandages onto the table, he disappeared. Leora blinked for a second before turning to Aquarius. "Is Lucy in a battle?" asked Leora. "She is." said Aquarius as she opened the bandages and wrapped them around Leora's injuries.
A moment later, Loke returned back with Aries. Both heavily wounded. Leora immediately shot up from the bed and headed towards them despite her injuries. "Leo-nii! Aries-nee! What happened?!" asked Leora worriedly. "It's alright. We just fought each other." said Loke. Leora inspected their injuries. "Aries-nee's owner used Caelum to shot both of you huh?" asked Leora. Both Loke and Aries looked away from Leora. "Don't worry. Lucy will definitely win" said Leora. Both Loke and Aries gave Leora a small smile. "In the mean time." said Leora. She raised up her hands. "Transfer!" Leora transferred Loke's and Aries's injuries into her. Scorpio catches Leora before she fell down. Aquarius flicked her forehead. "We are! Leora, you've already reached your limit." said Scorpio as he placed Leora backed onto the bed. "Geez, you always have to do that!" said Aquarius. Leora just grinned at them. "Leora, you should know your limit. Me and Aries's injuries aren't light at all." said Loke. "Leora, you should rest. Sumimasen." said Aries. "Hai, hai. Wake me up when Team Natsu gets back to the guild. Good night, everyone." said Leora as she went to sleep.
Gemi and Mini got back to the Celestial Spirit World. "Lucy loves us Stellar spirits from the bottom of our hearts." said Gemi. "We can't kill her." said Mini. "I'm glad you didn't." said Loke. "Moo~ How is Leora?" asked Taurus. "Not good." said Loke. "Leora-sama will get better soon. I'll take care of her." offered Virgo. "I'm sure none of us will be leaving, ebi." said Cancer. "It's been years since we gathered around her like this. Sumimasen." said Aries. "I've lost count already." said Loki. "We are! Let's just hope she gets her memories back." said Scorpio. Everyone else just nodded in agreement.
