Chapter 8

The Next Morning...

Minerva's POV

I woke early as the sun broke through the window, warming my face. As I opened my eyes and slowly wiped the sleep from them, I could remember the wonderful dream I had last night. 'I had a little sister and she was here with me,' I thought as I sat up in my bed and looked to the empty side of my bed. I reached over and ran my hand along the empty space, "oh well it was a nice dream," I said as I stretched my arms and yawned. I quickly showered, dressed and headed for my bedroom door and opened it.

"What's that smell?" I said as I started walking down the stairs. My blood was starting to boil at the thought of someone being in my house. "Whoever is down there, you picked the wrong house to break into... I'm gonna kill you!"

As I turned the corner at the bottom of the stairs, I saw Sting sitting at my kitchen island eating something and laughing. "Sting! What the hell are you doing here. Do you have a death wissshhhh..." I said as I looked past him to see a figure standing on the other side of the island smiling back at me.

"Good morning Onee-chan," Lucy said with a big smile. "I made breakfast for you like I promised."

"Your here! It was all real! It wasn't a dream," I said as I started to cry.

"Of course I'm here, where else would I be. Did you have a bad dream?" Lucy said as she walked over to me and gave me a hug. She leaned into my ear and said in a whispered voice, "I'll always be here, so don't cry Minerva. We're sisters and nothing will change that... EVER!"

She kissed me on the cheek and lead me to an empty seat at the island, "Now wipe away those tears and have some breakfast before Sting-kun eats it all," she said as she walked back around the island and laid a plate of food in front of me. "He's already had five servings... dammed Dragon Slayers are all alike," she said with a smile as she playfully stuck out her tongue out to Sting. They both laughed.

"Mmmm, looks good, thank you Lucy," I said as I started eating my breakfast. "We need to hurry up and get moving. We have to meet the others in half an hour." We quickly finished our meal, cleaned the dishes, gathered out stuff and left the house. As soon as we hit the street we ran into Yukino, who was followed by Rufus, Orga, Rogue and the pets.

"Ah! great timing, we were just coming to get you three," Yukino said. "Master sent me to get all of you. He wants us all go go back to the guild immediately."

Later AT Sabertooth...

Jiemma's POV

"What the hell is taking them so long?" I roared as I paced the floor. Then the doors flew open and in walked everyone. "Took you long enough. Yukino I said to be quick, next time move faster."

"Yes Master," Yukino said in a soft voice.

"What's this all about Master?" asked Rufus.

"Actually I didn't need all of you, it was just Lucy that I needed to see. But as you're all here you might as well hear this as well," I said as I stared them down.

"Me sir, why do you need to see me?" Lucy asked as she looked at me with confusion.

"Lucy, the Magic Council contacted me this morning. They say they will be here in six days... they want you to take their S-Class exam," I said.

"I'm not a member of any guild, why would I need to take that?" Lucy said as she raised her hand. "See no guild mark."

"I'm aware of that. They still ordered the S-Class exam. So you have to take it. If you pass I'll make you a member of Sabertooth," I said with a smirk.

"Fine! But I never agreed to join Sabertooth and I most certainly never agreed to take orders from you... Shall I put you in your place again... you remember the last time you tried to push me around, don't you, "she said with a smile.

"QUIET! You insolent child, or I'lllll..." I said as I was interrupted by Lucy.

"GROW," she shouted and her staff appeared in her hand. Then she tapped her staff on the floor and pink energy arced across the floor and hitting me in the chest, sending me flying across the room. "NO, YOU BE QUIET!" She screamed. "I don't take orders from you and I have no intentions of ever, calling you Master," she roared as she disappeared and reappeared in front of me with a sword pointed at my neck. "Do you understand what I'm saying to you little man?"

"I shook me head, yes," I said. I remember this Lucy from that time before when we were training. I beat her down pretty badly and her spirits came to her rescue. That should have been the end of it, but I made the mistake of hurting one of her spirits and she snapped. I woke up hours later hanging by my feet from a tree. It took me three days to talk her in to letting me down.

Lucy's POV

"Sorry Minerva, I'm afraid that I won't be able to keep our promise. I can't control my anger when I look at this piece of trash," I said to my dear sister as my hands started to tremble.

"That's alright Lucy, I totally understand. We will break that promise here now," Minerva said as I turned back to Jiemma with rage in my heart.

As I reached my hand for his throat, I leaned in and whispered, "I'll be taking this back," and ripped the red necklace from him. The necklace that was once large orbs, that hung around Jiemma's neck, now shrunk to their original small size. "This does not belong to you... does i..." I tried to say when I felt a familiar power approaching.

"Onee-chan, do you feel that," I looked back at her, my anger quickly being replaced by pure happiness. I saw her smile back at.

"Yes, I feel it, what is that?" she happily said and then looked to everyone else and asked, "do you feel that power?"

"No," was all they said.

"What are you talking about Minerva," Sting said.

"Lucy, is that what I hope it is?" Minerva said as she appeared by my side.

"Yes they're coming, any moment now," I said as I stood in front of Minerva and placed the red string of pearls around her neck. "Onee-chan, I believe these belong to you."

"Thank You Lucy," Minerva said as she turned her attention to the man on the floor. "I wouldn't want to be in your shoes right now, HAHAHA!"

At that moment two figures appeared in the center of the guild. Both held staffs similar to Lucy's. One was a female with long auburn hair and the other was a shorter man with gray hair and a long gray beard. They both looked around the guild and when their eyes stopped at me they both smiled.

"Ah my child," said Emrys as he opened his arms inviting me into them.

"Father!" I started to cry and ran into his waiting arms. He leaned in and kissed my forehead.

"I'm so glad to see that you've recovered, we've missed you so much," he said as he held me tight. "Morgana dear, say hi to Lucy."

We both looked over at Mother, who had tears streaming down her face. She had her hand over her mouth trying to keep from bawling her eyes out as she looked over at Minerva standing over Jiemma's limp frame.

"Father, look over there... see who it is," I said with a smile.

He released me from his embrace and looked at me and said, "Is that, could that be, is that our Layla."

"Yes! that's Minerva your daughter, my sister," I said as I watched my Father drop to his knees.

Minerva's POV

Everything was happening so fast, Lucy attacked Master, she broke our promise, I got my pearls back and now standing before me is two people who feel so familiar. Lucy called them Mother and Father. 'Is this really my parents,' I thought as I slowly moved towards them. As I looked at the female figure crying my pace picked up without me even realizing that I was even moving. My pace had turned into a dash and I jumped into the crying woman's open arms.

"Mother!" I said as I burst into tears. "A-Are you r-really my M-Mother."

"Yes Layla, I'm really your Mother," she said as held my face in her hands and smiled. "My child, I've missed you so much. We thought we had lost you years ago, but I knew you were still alive."

Lucy and Father stood up and joined in the family hug.

"I have both my girls back now," Morgana said as she looked at Emrys with a big smile.

"My dear, I'm so glad that I listened to you all those years ago," Father smiled at Mother and then his smile turned to rage as he released himself from our hug and looked over at Master on the floor. "Now it's my turn... Jiemma I'm gonna destroy you for what you've done to our family."

"But Emrys were friends," Jiemma said as he got to his feet.

"We were friends until the day you showed up at our house parading our daughter around. We found out a few days after you both left that Minerva was our daughter, thanks to Aquarius. If it wasn't for Morgana's sickness I would have come and destroyed you then. When Morgana left, I searched everywhere for you but you disappeared. Then Lucy disappeared a few years later and then you reappeared as this guilds Master. You've been lucky for many years now, but today your luck has run out. Prepare to die!" Father said as he pointed his staff at Jiemma and a blinding flash of light lit the room. When the light died down Master was encased in stone.

"He's all yours Morgana," Father said to Mother as she smiled and left my embrace and slowly walked over to Master.

"Today little man, today is your last day. Any last words, HAHAHA! guess not," Mother laughed a scarey evil laugh that made the hair on my neck stand up. "NOW YOU PAY FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO US... DIE! She yelled as she swung her staff down on Master, causing a cloud of dust to form. When the dust settled we were all shocked to see the stone Master still in one piece and Mother's staff stopped by a magic spell.

"Sorry I can't let you do that," said a man who materialized in the room. It was the glasses wearing Lahar from the Magic Council. He was flanked by four guards holding magic staffs that were pointed at Mother.

"Please Morgana le Faye, step away from Master Jiemma," Lahar said as he pointed his weapon at Morgana as well.

"HAHAHA, You think you can stop me little man, you are as foolish as those simple minded Fairys. Lower your weapon... NOW!" Mother screamed. The sound from her voice shattered Lahar's glasses and destroyed all of their staffs. "Again I ask, do you think you can stop me little man."

As he pulled out his communication device, he spoke, "code name, Authurien - engage." Two magic circles appeared, one above Mother and the other above Father. They both held Mother and Father in place and slowly descended down on them.

'I have to act now, I just got to finally meet my parents and I won't loose them now,' I thought to my myself. 'I'll use that now.'

I laughed out loud, "I guess I'm my Mothers daughter." with that distracting laugh I quickly switched Mother and Lahar and Father and the four guards, just before the magic circles fully activated.

"Thank you sweetheart, I was gonna do the same thing," Mother smiled at me.

"She's definitely our daughter dear, I was just about to pull that little trick myself," said Father with a smirk.

"Huh! I was just about to do that as well," laughed Lucy. "HAHAHA! I guess it runs in the family.

We all looked at one another and burst in to laughter. "There's no doubting it now, she's definitely your daughter Morgana," Father said with a smile.

"Well of course, and I'm so proud of her... no I'm so proud of both my daughters," Mother smiled and walked up to Lahar.

"Now, what were you saying again... oh ya right, you were going to stop me little man. How did that work out for you. HAHAHA not so well huh!" Mother said with a smug look on her face. "Now to finish what I started," she said as she turned to walk towards Master. "Huh! what's going on, I can't move."

"Oh yea, your not as smart as you think Morgana. We've know about Minerva being your daughter for a few months now so we figured if one of you could manipulate space then chances are, you all can. We were right so we just simply used your onw arrogance against you," Lahar said as he and his guards stepped out of their magic circles.

"We figured you would pull something like this, so the trap wasn't the magic circles but a hundred meter radius around the airship above this guild. These magic circles were actually the safe zones. Thanks for protecting us," Lahar smiled.

"Emrys, if you would be so kind. Reverse your spell holding Master Jiemma. Don't do anything stupid or someone will have to pay for it," Lahar said as he looked at Lucy.

"Fine! But I warn you now and you can tell those fools on that Council, if anyone associated with the council harms, harasses or interferes with our two daughters, we will bring hell down upon this world," Emrys said as he tapped his staff on the floor and Master glowed and slowly returned to normal. "You and your council friends know what we are capable off, so heed our warning," Father said as he stepped out of his trap and walked up to a stunned Lahar.

"That's not possible, how, did you do that? That trap was specifically designed to hold anyone from your bloodline," Lahar said in shock.

"We've said it many times before, we are immortal. So we've had millennia to learn and hone our skills. If the council pulls another stunt like this, we will make it our personal pet project to take the council down. Understand how insignificant you are to us now," Father said as he turned to Mother and nodded.

"Mother started to walk over to Master again when Lahar screamed, "Stop, please. We've only come here to arrest him and pass on a message to Lucy Heartfilia about the up coming S-Class exam."

"Why, should we trust the council. You've just proved your arrogance a few moments ago," Mother stopped and said.

"You have my word that we will harshly deal with him for his crime of kidnapping and abuse of your daughter. Your daughters may come and verify this themselves," Lahar said as he got down on one knee.

"Very well, we got all the time in the world," Mother said. "If we see or hear tell of this man walking free again, we will be coming for the councils heads."

"Now take him from our sight, before we change our minds," Father said as he tapped his staff on the floor and the trap holding everyone disappeared.

Lahar looked on in shock at what he just witnessed. He then nodded to the guards, who handcuffed and escorted Master to the door.

"STOP!" said Sting as he walked over to Master. He placed his hand over the Master's guild mark and removed it. "Now he's all yours."

Jiemma leaned into Sting and whispered something to him and then left with the guards.

ANs POV

"Now that we have that messy business taken care off, Sting Eucliffe the Magic Council have given me the authority to appoint you the new intern Master of Sabertooth. If in six days you decline or if there is a challenge to the guilds top spot then we will resolve that issue then. But if there is no challenge then you will be made permanent Master of this guild. You will be expected to abide by all guild guidelines as all other guild masters. Do you accept this appointment," Lahar said as he looked to Sting.

Sting looked around a confused and dazed guild and asked, "Is this what everyone wishes. If it is may I see a show of hands."

With in a few seconds, all Sabertooth members raised their hands, Minerva included. It was unanimous.

"Well if that's the case, then I gratefully accept," Sting said as Lahar nodded. "Then I have one piece of business to attend to before I turn the floor back over to Lahar," Sting said as he walked over to Lucy.

"Where so you want it," Sting said.

Everyone burst out laughing at how Sting can be so dumb sometimes.

"HUH!" Lucy said with a shocked look on her face.

"I meant her guild mark, you idiots," Sting said with a smile as he ran his fingers threw his hair. "Lucy, what I mean is, will you join Sabertooth. Your sister is here and I'm sure she'd love to have you here as well. That way we'll have two Heartfilia sisters here..."

"No their last name is le Faye. Do not ever call them by that other name again. They are my daughters, so they will have my last name," Morgana said as she looked around the guild.

"Sorry about that, Lucy le Faye will you join us," Sting said with a smirk.

"Sure, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. Please place it on my right hand and I want it in black," Lucy proudly said.

"Done!" said Sting as he stamped Lucy's hand.

"Welcome to Sabertooth," Everyone shouted as Minerva ran over and hugged Lucy.

"Now that that's taken care of, Lucy your S-Class trial will be in six days right out side of this guild," Lahar said as he faced Lucy.

"Sorry to interrupt, but we have to go, if we stay any longer trouble will be coming," Morgana said as she sadly looked at her daughters.

"Ah! That reminds me... take these medallions and keep them with you, they will mask your magic trail so that Zeref can't detect you. The magic will last for about twenty hours. After that you are on your own. Consider this a gift from the Magic Council," Lahar said as he handed a medallion to Morgana and Emrys.

"Thank you," they both said.

"Your welcome," Lahar said before turning back to Lucy. "Lucy do you accept?"

"I guess so, what do I have to do?" Lucy said.

"Glad you accept. You will have to last fifteen minutes against two Wizard Saints. If you can do that you will become an S-Class mage. You may ask for a partner if you wish, but if you do that, you will have third opponent added to your test, one of our choosing. If you face both Wizard Saints alone and can beat both Wizard Saints you will receive a future opportunity to challenge any Wizard Saint for their position. This is a rear opportunity that few will ever receive, so choose wisely. You have six days to decide," Lahar said as he walked out of the guild.

"Goodbye everyone and good luck Lucy, we'll see you in six days," Lahar said as he waved goodbye and stopped at the door. "OH! One last thing, there there will be some members from the Magic Council there along with a group of their guests. Don't cause trouble or fight with anyone of them or we will ban Sabertooth from entering this years Grand Magic Games." With that Lahar was gone.

"Fight with two Wizard Saints, that's nuts," Orga said. "We need to get training quickly."

"Agreed, that will be a difficult challenge," Yukino said.

"This has been a busy day and it's not even lunch time yet," Sting said as he turned to Lucy and Minerva. "I think we should forgo training today. Lucy, Minerva, I think you both should spend the day with your parents and we'll meet here tomorrow morning at nine for training."

"Sounds like a good idea Sting-kun... ah! I guess I should call you Master now," Lucy laughed.

"That's not happening any time soon," Minerva smirked.

"No, the eight of you are the closest thing that I have to family, you may call how you wish. The rest of you may call me Master... just kiddin. Just call me Sting or Master Sting. Hmmm, I do like the sound of that," laughed Sting.

"Well, let's go then," Lucy said as she linked arms with her Father and Minerva linked arms with their Mother. They all walked out of the guild with a smile on their faces and a spring in their step.

"Remember, nine sharp, don't be late," Sting said as they waved and left the guild.

"Rogue, I think things are gonna change soon. There's no telling how strong those two really are, but I do know one thing and that's, with those two around things are gonna get interesting," Sting said with a smile.

"If their parents are any indication, those two may be a lot stronger then we know. So ya! I think we all better train harder or they may just leave us behind," Rogue said as he went over and sat down.

"I think the Magic Council is wondering the same thing. I think they are testing them, but we'll see in a week," Rufus said as he joined rogue at the table.

"You may be right," Orga said as he and Sting also sat down to discuss the days events and make future plans.

Well that's a lot of typing this past week, I think 4 or 5 chapters worth. So I'm gonna take a break for a little while... see you soon.
