Time and time again, Zeref has tried to get the miraculous to bring back his parents and has failed every time. Still, he refused to give up. Standing in front of his parents in their state gives him a constant reminder of that.
"Mother... Father... A hundred times I have tried to gain the miraculous and a hundred times I fail." Zeref said. "I don't care if it takes another hundred times. This will only side when one side is eliminated." Zeref was sure that would be the only way it ends. Then, he got a message from Invel alerting him that it was time for something. "Please be patient with me. I'll do whatever it takes to get you both back." He said before he left to do what needs to be done.
...
Zeref and Natsu
"Natsu, I'm unable to make it." Zeref said as the two of them were in a car. "I need you to represent me in this interview."
"Why? What are you going to do?" Natsu said. Zeref was actually planning his next move as he could feel the negative emotions of Robert Roomar and an overwhelming desire to make more money when he's losing some of it.
"I just have other business to take care of." Zeref said. "Besides, this work is in honor of our late parents. You have every right to speak at this press conference, and I better not hear that you left under any circumstances. Is that understood?"
"Yeah, yeah." Natsu said as he wasn't looking forward to this. A hundred times has Natsu tried to stand against his brother, but a hundred times he got nowhere. Zeref is just too unwilling, uncooperative, and always tries to make it his way. Natsu has been wanting to standup to him, but he and Zeref have each other. How can he turn away from his brother? They soon arrived with Natsu getting out and Zeref drove off, but Natsu had no idea what Zeref really intends to do. Natsu went on in and took part in the press conference like Zeref wanted him to do as he answered questions.
"The collection your brother created is dedicated to your departed parents. Would you mind telling us how you feel?" The first question said.
"My brother might be a man of mystery, even to me, but I know he loves his family." Natsu said as he did what Zeref wanted.
...
Paris Streets
Black Knight was already in action as he took Robert's greed and anger to turn him into a supervillain. The streets of Paris were being attacked by a golden safe floating in the sky. Robert was inside and became solid gold himself with gold coins filling the safe.
"Hahaha! I'm going to be rich! I'll never lose money again!" Robert said as he was turning people into gold coins by firing a beam at them and pulled all the coins in like a magnet and went into the safe, passing right through.
"Remember that you still need to bring me Celestria's and Salamondra's miraculous, Vault." Black Knight reminded.
"How much are those little things worth?" Vault questioned as he wanted more money.
"Nothing to you, but everything to me." Black Knight said. "Keep in mind that I can take away your powers, as well all the money you made, with just the snap of my fingers."
"Okay! Sheesh, people drive a hard bargain these days." Vault said as he continued with what he did, but Celestria was already in action. She didn't have Salamondra, but she did have Sabertooth, Valiant, Styrmir, Harpis, and Count to help against this villain.
"Count! Keep him distracted!" Celestria ordered.
"Multiply!" Count divided into multiple copies of himself and kept moving around to try and keep Vault's attention.
"Valiant, take the opportunity to sneak inside!" Celestria said.
"Voyage!" Valiant tried using his powers and dived inside, but he just ended up bouncing right out. "There's not enough room! I can't get inside!"
"No worries. Styrmir and Harpis, you two are Plan B." Celestria said.
"It would be easier if we could just use Salamondra's Dragon Fire to burn through the gold vault." Styrmir claimed.
"I know! I keep calling, but he's not answering!" Celestria said with frustration. "The one time I really need him around and he isn't anywhere! What could be doing that he doesn't have time to deal with an emergency?!" If only she knew. Natsu is too busy with the press conference and can't sneak away without getting in trouble with his brother. "Open the Celestial Gate!" She used her powers and ended up getting a ladder with the Libra sign on it. She knew what to do instantly. "Harpis, create a wind barrier around him to keep him from moving!"
"Twister!" Harpis used her powers as she threw her fan and it twirled around Vault with a twister forming around him and trapped him.
"What is this? I can't see potential money making!" Vault complained.
"Now, Styrmir!" Celestria called
"Ice Wind!" Styrmir used his own wind powers with the wind he generated being so cold that he ended up freezing the entire safe and trapped Vault.
"Sabertooth, try every possible combination!" Celestria said as she put the ladder into place.
"This is going to take a while." Sabertooth said as he used the ladder to climb up there and got his powers ready. He tried every combination he could. When he failed, he just used his powers to burn away time. He kept going and going, and he was right. It took a long time until he finally found the combination that worked. "Got it! It only took a hundred tries." He said as he opened up the vault and gold coins came falling out with Vault himself. When he fell out, a set of gold sunglasses fell off him and Celestria stomped down on them to free the etherious. Once she did that, everything was just as how it was.
"Pound it!" All the heroes celebrated.
...
The Sewers
Once everything was over and done, Celestria retrieved the miraculous. The last one was Sting with the tiger miraculous with her getting it back down in the sewers.
"Stripes Off." Sabertooth transformed back to Sting and was handing the miraculous back.
"Thanks, Sting." Celestria said as she was about to reclaim it, but someone grabbed her by the arm. A while back, she met the real guardian named Precht. He said he's been watching over her to make sure she wouldn't make mistakes.
"This has done it now." Precht said he said as he sounded displeased. "You needed the help of five other heroes to defeat one villain when all you really needed was Salamondra's Dragon Fire?!"
"I had to. I don't know who Salamondra is underneath his mask. I have no way of contacting him when he hasn't transformed." Celestria said.
"You mean you allow one of the most powerful miraculous to be in the hands of someone you don't know?" Precht said as he sounded even more displeased. "That cannot be allowed! What if goes rogue like Black Knight? What if he starts doing whatever he pleases with that miraculous?"
"I trust Salamondra. He would never do something like that." Celestria said.
"It's too risky. Find out who Salamondra's real identity is." Precht said.
"I can't do that! We can't learn each other's identities!" Celestria said.
"I don't care! Deal with this problem or I will entrust his miraculous to a new holder that will be easier to control!" Precht warned. Celestria didn't like the sound of that, but this is rather dangerous for her to do until she spotted Sting and got a new idea.
"Wait. I have an idea that could work. What if you knew who he was?" Celestria said. "If you knew who he was, you could watch him and keep an eye on them."
"I suppose that would work. Just make sure you don't fail." Precht warned before he left the area.
"What was that about? Who was he?" Sting questioned.
"A fellow guardian." Celestria said.
"Are you going to do what he asks?" Sting questioned.
"I don't have much of a choice." Celestria said. "I can't defy him, but I can't lose Salamondra. I have an idea, but I'm going to need your help." Celestria is playing with fire, but she doesn't have much of a choice.
...
Natsu
Meanwhile, Natsu finished that things at the press conference and went straight home and up to his room.
"Glad that's over with, but I hope Celestria didn't need me. Igneel, Fire Up!" Natsu transformed so he could see his messages left by Celestria.
"A hundred messages?! Oh boy..." Salamondra said when he saw how many messages he had and knew he was going to be in big trouble. He braced himself as he gave her a call.
"Finally!" Celestria said as she sounded upset.
"I'm sorry, but listen..." "Nevermind!" Celestria interrupted.
"We got it handled, but meet me at the Eiffel Tower. We need to talk." Celestria said and ended the call.
"I have a feeling my scales are about to get scraped." Salamondra said as he knew he was in some real hot water now.
...
The Sewers
"I've always been curious about something, Celestria." Sting said as Fangg and Stella were eating to recharge their power while they both stood on opposite sides of a wall. "Why is it okay for you to know our identities, but it's not okay for you and Salamondra to know each other's?"
"Do you know why you can't know our identities in the first place?" Lucy questioned. "Black Knight already knows the identities of some of the holders I chose and tried using that to his advantage. If you or the others knew who Salamondra and I were, he would use that."
"But as long as we don't know your identities, we're worthless to him." Sting said. That's a problem since he actually does know, but Lucy isn't aware of that.
"Even if you did know one and not the other, there would still be one of us to fight Black Knight." Lucy said. "However, it's different for me and Salamondra since it's our miraculous he desires the most. If we knew each other's identities, all Black Knight has to do is capture or etheriouize one of us, making it that much easier for him to capture the other."
"I get it now. If you don't know each other's identities, Black Knight won't win so easily, but what are you planning to do about this Master Precht?" Sting questioned.
"That's where I'm going to need your help. Stella, Twinkle!"
"Fangg, Burn!" Both of them transformed and were going to put Celestria's plan into action.
"Here's the plan. You keep yourself hidden while we keep in touch with our earpieces." Celestria said. "Once Salamondra tells me, you'll hear it too. Once you do, you use your powers to turn back time. You'll be the only who remembers anything, so you can go and tell Master Precht while I won't know a thing."
"Wouldn't it be simpler if I got ask him myself?" Sabertooth questioned.
"Salamondra will only tell me." Celestria said.
"But I'll know Salamondra's identity." Sabertooth claimed.
"Maybe, but it's the only thing I can think of." Celestria said.
"Still, we'll only have a five minute window. You really think you can get it in that short of time?" Sabertooth questioned.
"Just leave it all to me." Celestria said as she was sure nothing was going to go wrong.
...
The Eiffel Tower
"It's all set. Salamondra should be here any minute." Celestria said.
"Are you sure he'll go with this?" Sabertooth questioned as he stayed hidden.
"He's been wanting to tell me who he really is for a long time. It's all going to work." Celestria said. "It's almost one in the morning now. Let's synchronize our timers so we don't miss this even by a second. Ready?"
"Ready." Sabertooth said as Celestria waited to time this just right as the clock hit one.
"Now!" Celestria said as both of their clocks were timed perfectly together.
"Burn Time!" Sabertooth said as he got his powers ready, but they only have five minutes to do this.
"Remember to wait for my signal." Celestria said.
"I'm here!" Salamondra called as he showed up at the right time. "I'm really sorry. I was in the middle of something that I couldn't get out of and didn't have the chance to transform."
"It's fine. What matters is that it's handled, but I do need to talk to you about something." Celestria said. "Defeating this villain would have been so much easier with your Dragon Fire, but I had no way of getting in contact with you. That's why...I think it's time I learned your secret identity."
"Really?!" Salamondra said as he didn't expect that.
"Yeah. What happened today had me realize that." Celestria said. "Since we don't know each other's identities, and can't get in contact when we're not transformed, we have no way of alerting the other when we need help. It might be for the best."
"Wow... So, we're really going to know each other's identities?" Salamondra said.
"Well, I don't know if I'm ready to reveal mine, but I know you've been dying to tell me yours." Celestria said. "Go on, Salamondra. I know you've been wanting to for a long time."
"Okay. I'm... I'm Natsu Dragneel." Salamondra admitted. However, Celestria started laughing instead of acting shocked.
"And I'm Janet Allard." Celestria teased, but Salamondra seemed annoyed.
"I'm sorry, I missed the joke." Salamondra said.
"You? Natsu Dragneel? No way." Celestria said. "You two are so different. You're a clown, and Natsu is...perfect." She thought for sure that it wasn't true, but she's about to be proven wrong.
"Fire Out." Salamondra turned back into Natsu right in front of her eyes. When she saw it was him, she couldn't believe it and her breath was taken away.
"See? I'm Natsu Dragneel."
"Celestria, I got his name. Should I turn back time?" Sabertooth questioned, but Celestria was too stunned to respond.
"I wanted to tell you for the longest time, but you seemed so strict about the rules." Natsu said. "Still, I trusted you and followed your lead. Even when you gave me the tiger miraculous, I thought it was my chance to impress you. I'm sorry if you're disappointed, but it feels good to show you who I really am now. I just hope you trust me to show who you really are."
"Celestria, we're almost out of time!" Sabertooth called, but she still wouldn't respond. Without her signal, he didn't turn back and time ran out. "No turning back now." He said as the miraculous closed and Sabertooth turned back to Sting with him hoping she knows what she's doing.
"So, are you going to tell me who you are?" Natsu asked.
"I... I don't know... I..." Celestria said as she was still too stunned.
"It's okay. At least you now know who I am." Natsu said, but is that really going to be a good thing? Unable to go back in time and correct this, it's out of Celestria's hands now.
...
The Sewers
Celestria just went on with what she could now that she can't turn back time. She met up with Sting and managed to retrieve the miraculous back from him.
"Why didn't you give the signal?" Sting questioned.
"I... I was in shocked. Natsu Dragneel is the last person I expected Salamondra would be." Celestria said. "They seemed so different."
"But what are you going to do now?" Sting questioned.
"As long as he doesn't know who I am, things should be fine." Celestria assured, but can she really keep things like that? Since she knows Salamondra's identity now, she went and told Master Precht and the two of them have reached an understanding now. At least he'll back off from her.
...
Lucy
After all that, Lucy went straight home and collapsed on the bed, but she couldn't sleep. She was wide awake from the revalation she's learned.
"This is wonderful!" Stella said. "Salamondra is in love with Celestria, which means that Natsu is in love with you! You two can finally be together!"
"It's not the simple, Stella." Lucy said as she looked at the pictures of Natsu she kept on the side of her bed. "I'm in love with Natsu, but not Salamondra. I meant what I said and thought they were two different people. Now I'm wondering if I really knew Natsu at all. How can I be in love with someone I don't even know? Besides, what if he does find out I'm Celestria? What if he's disappointed that it's me?"
"I don't know. Maybe you should talk to Erza and Levy." Stella said.
"I can't because they already know I'm Celestria. I have to figure this out alone." Lucy said, but she just isn't sure what to think.
...
Natsu
"Well, she finally knows." Natsu said as he returned home and was feeling good. "At least now she knows who I am. Maybe now that she knows the real me, things will start looking up." He said as he relaxed on his couch.
"I don't know, Natsu." Igneel said as he had his doubts. "I can't shake the feeling that something that seems this good is going to go rotten."
"You worry too much." Natsu said as he was sure everything was going to be just fine.
...
Lucy
Lucy has been questioning everything she knew about Natsu now that she knows he's Salamondra. She's been questioning everything for days and keeps wondering who the real Natsu is. When she was at school, she saw Salamondra instead of Natsu. It did help that she could contact him for emergencies, but she sees Salamondra as Natsu when he gets all flirty. There was even a moment when she had a repeat of the scene with the umbrella and she felt like she saw Natsu instead of Salamondra. When she's even at home or just walking in the streets, every photo of Natsu turned into a photo of Salamondra. Even now, listening to her friends play music on Gajeel's house boat, she kept switching from Natsu to Salamondra.
"That was great, wasn't it, Lucy?" Levy questioned, but Lucy was too distracted by Natsu and kept seeing him as Salamondra. She just couldn't take it anymore and ran off. All of them wondered what that was about, but Sting did. "What's with her?"
"Let me talk to her. I think I know what's going on." Sting said as he followed after Lucy. Lucy sat in a different part of the boat and still continued to questioned all that she knew. "You okay, Lucy? I'm getting the feeling you're really confused about something."
"Sting, have you ever thought you really knew someone, but you find out something about them and now you feel like you don't know who they really are?" Lucy questioned.
"Actually, I did." Sting said as he felt like that with Lucy and Natsu when he learned the truth.
"What did you do? Did you feel upset or anything?" Lucy questioned.
"Not really. Once I got pass the shock, I felt like I understood that person better than I thought I did." Sting claimed. "It might be a little unsettling at first, but you just need to try and understand why they do what they do. It will help you see who they really are. If it's someone important to you, it's important you know the real them." That really helped Lucy. Perhaps it's time she got to know who the real Natsu is.
...
Later
As time went on, Black Knight continued with his attacks. He brought back Midnight, but it was the same routine as usual. Celestria and Salamondra were able to defeat him and won another battle. With it done and over with, Salamondra turned back into Natsu.
"Well, I'll see you later." Natsu said as he was leaving.
"Wait." Celestria said as she wanted to know now. "I want to ask you about something."
"What is it?" Natsu questioned.
"Ever since I learned your identity, I've been baffled and confused." Celestria said. "It has me wondering what is real about you. What's the truth? I want to know who you really are. Which side is the real you?"
"The real me?" Natsu said as he thought about it. "Well, my brother has always been trying to control my life. I know it's because he cares, but it does get frustrating. It's like he thinks I'm this embodiment of perfection or something. All that modeling, being on posters and billboards, and all that other stuff...doesn't really make me happy. At least when I'm with my friends at school, I can act like how I really am. That's also why I'm excited to be Salamondra. When I'm Salamondra, I feel a sense of freedom I don't really feel at home. I can do what I want to do, say what I want to say, and no one can really stop me. I guess to answer your question...they're both the real me. When I'm with you and my friends, I can be who I really am." Celestria can now see she really had it all wrong. She may not have seen Natsu act as silly as Salamondra, but she can see he's still the same generous, kindhearted, and caring guy she knows. That meant more to her than just how he looked or how different his two sides were. She felt like she saw the real him now and loved him even more for it.
"I think I'm ready." Celestria said as she felt safe and secure enough. "Lights Out..." She actually transformed right in front of Natsu and showed who she really was.
"Lucy?!" Natsu said as he was stunned it was her.
"Are... Are you disappointed?" Lucy said as she was nervous on what he thought now, but Natus really wrapped his arms around her.
"I'm just surprised that the person I care about the most...was one of my closest friends the whole time." Natsu claimed with Lucy happy to hear that. They can now be together. Stella was happy, but Igneel still had a bad feeling about this.
...
Zeref
Now that Natsu knows, they both feel like they're on cloud nine. However, Lucy's early worries might come to fruition. Zeref was passing by Natsu's room when he overheard Natsu talking on the phone.
"Yeah. I'll see you at the movies tomorrow, my little star." Natsu said as he was talking to Lucy. Zeref was just as stunned as everyone would have been. He knew that's what Salamondra called Celestria and now he knows Salamondra is his own brother. That makes things easier for him.
...
The Next Day
It was a brand new day for Natsu and he was happy about it as he was texting Lucy. He was on his way out to meet with Lucy, but Zeref had other ideas.
"Natsu! Could you come here?!" Zeref called. Natsu went on in Zeref's office and spotted him standing at the portrait. "Follow me." Zeref actually showed a hidden elevator system in his home as he hit the hidden switch and went straight down. Natsu had no idea something like that was in his own home. Wanting to know more about what he saw, Natsu looked around the portrait until he found the switch and went straight down.
"What is this?" Natsu questioned as he was entering a part of his home he's never been in before. He reached the bottom and walked across the chamber, wondering where he even was. He walked over to the other side until he saw two caskets. When he hit a switch on both of them, they were unconcealed and saw both of his parents. "Mom?! Dad?!"
"For so long, they've been away. A hundred times I get the miraculous, but a hundred times I failed." Natsu turned around and saw his brother as Black Knight now. "All of it was for our family, and now it come to fruition." Black Knight actually unleashed one of his etherious and it went right into Natsu's phone and made a different connection between the brothers. "Accel, I am your brother. I'm giving you the power to accelerate time. Celestria will change back in seconds. Together, we can bring back our parents."
"No!" Natsu said as he tried to resist. "I can't do that to her!"
"You will do as I say, brother." Black Knight claimed as he was able to swipe the miraculous right from Natsu. Igneel came out of hiding and had to do something.
"Dragon..." "Stop!" Black Knight now held the ring and that meant Igneel now listens to him. Igneel is forced to comply.
"You obey me now, and you will help me, Natsu." Black Knight said. Natsu tried to resist, but his family meant a lot to him. He just had to give in, and that means capturing Celestria will be much easier.
...
The Movies
"Natsu! I'm here!" Lucy called as she stepped into the theater, but there was no sign of him or anyone. It was just her. She wondered where he or anyone could be as she went down to a good seat. Just then, she heard the door bust open and she spotted Black Knight.
"Hello, Celestria." Black Knight said with Lucy beginning to panic.
"Stella! Twinkle!" Lucy quickly transformed and acted fast.
"Open the Celestial Gate!" Celestria called on her powers and ended up getting a calendar page, but there was no sign on it. When that happens, it means it's trying to tell her something. She took notice about a certain date or time on the page, but that was when she felt someone tap their fingers against her back.
"I'm sorry." Celestria turned around and saw Natsu glowing cerulean with him wearing tech-designed armor.
"You'll be forced to change back in seconds now." Black Knight said as Celestria could hear her earrings beeping more than usual. Celestria ran as fast as she could while doing something with the page. While she was running, she ended up tripping and already changed back. "Excellent work, my brother." He has her right where he wants her.
...
Sting
What Lucy did was with that calendar page before it disappeared was that she sent a photo of it straight to Sting with a message. Sting was able to receive it and saw it.
"Fangg is in my room with my sewing equipment at the Heartfilia Bakery. Lucy!" Sting said as he instantly could tell there was a serious situation and Lucy needs help. He hurried as fast he could to get to Fangg before it was too late. As Sting was moving as fast as he could on his bike, Black Knight was able to grab a hold of her earrings and was now able to combine their power. Sting rode his bike all the way to the Heartfilia Bakery and barged right in. "Sorry! Lucy asked me to get something! It's really important and can't wait!" He told her parents as he hurried all the way up to her room. "Fangg! Fangg, where are you?!" He called once he got up there.
"Sting?" Fangg said as he and the other kwamis came out. "What are you doing here?"
"Lucy sent me this." Sting said as he showed the picture. "I think she wants me to go to this point marked on the calendar, but she knows I can't go back that far."
"You can't, but I can." Fangg said as he looked at the picture. "That's marked to before she learned Salamondra's identity. I can go back there since you using your powers can act like a checkpoint for me, but a kwami using their powers without a holder can be disastrous. She knows this, so something must be desperately wrong." That was when they all saw a pillar of light shoot to the sky.
"What's that?" Sting questioned.
"Oh no! Not that!" Lanner called.
"Someone is combining the power of the miraculous!" Roar claimed.
"Fangg, what's going on?" Sting questioned as the light was expanding and swallowing everything.
"When one combines the power of the miraculous of the stars and of the dragon, they have the power to alter reality. Any wish they want can be granted." Fangg explained. "Reality is being rewritten. If we are caught in that light, there's no telling what could happen!" Sting now understands the situation as he saw the light getting closer and closer.
"Do it now, Fangg!" Sting said.
"Burn Time!" Fangg used his powers just before the light swallowed him and burned away time. Everything that happened between the two points in time is now being erased.
...
Days Earlier
Fangg was able to burn away time farther than usual just like he said. Everything that has happened from when Celestria learned the truth has been erased and now time has been brought back to that moment.
"What matters is that it's handled, but we do need to talk about something." Celestria said as she was about to go for it.
"Wait! What the heck?!" Salamondra said as he noticed something. They noticed flames bursting out of nowhere. All the clocks have gone out of control and the flames were acting like portals as different points in time were converging. Even the sky was mixed between day and night. "What is going on?!"
"I... I don't know!" Celestria said as it looked like nothing but chaos out there. "Everything is chaotic. It's like time itself is...burning..." It didn't take her long to see what might have happened. "Let's move!" This even has stopped them from revealing anything and they hurried to the source of it.
...
The Sewers
"Celestria! What's going on?! Celestria?!" Sabertooth questioned as he tried to get in contact with her.
"Sabertooth!" Celestria called as she and Salamondra found him down in the sewers. "I need to talk to Fangg! Something's happening above!"
"Extinguish!" Sabertooth quickly changed back with Fangg flying out with Sting catching him.
"I'm sorry, Celestria. I had no choice." Fangg claimed as he is now the only one who remembers anything.
"Will someone please tell me what's going on?" Salamondra asked.
"Fangg has the ability to turn back time, burn away events that have already happened." Celestria explained. "When a kwami uses their powers without a holder, it sets off some sort of catastrophe. Something must have happened that caused Fangg to use his."
"That's right." Fangg claimed. "I don't know how, but Black Knight or someone managed to get a hold of both of your miraculous." He said with both of them shocked to hear that. "All Sting showed me was a picture of your celestial item pointing to this point in time. I had to use my powers and come back to this point.."
"And now the timeline is falling apart. How do we fix this?" Salamondra questioned.
"I don't know, but we have to try something." Celestria said. "Sting, stay down here where it's safe. Let's go, Salamondra!" She said as she climbed up a ladder with Salamondra following after her. The two of them climbed out and saw it was getting even worse. The timeline is literally burning apart and it's not looking good.
"It's going to take a miracle at least to fix all of this." Salamondra complained.
"I know, so let's make one! Open the Celestial Gate!" Celestria used her powers and ended up getting a model of a satellite with the Libra sign on it.
"A model of a satellite? Is it telling us that our only hope is go to the stars?" Salamondra said.
"Actually, that's exactly what it's saying." Celestria said as she figured it out. "It's referring to the International Bureau of Weights and Measures. They have a satellite that's right over Paris. That satellite coordinates hours for the whole world."
"So, inputting the right time will fix every time device connected to it! How do we know what the right time is?" Salamondra questioned.
"With this." Celestria said as she showed a projection of a timer with her whip. "I have a timer set to go off at 1:05 AM. That's the time we put in."
"But what about what's happening all around us?" Salamondra questioned.
"We'll just have to leave it to my Miraculous Starlight to fix everything." Celestria said as she pulled out one of her special macaroons. "Time to head for the stars. Power Up!" She devoured one of them and changed into a suit meant for space travel. Her skin was covered in a sparkling blue glittery substance for protection as her actual clothes turned into an armor-like structure. She was also given a blue helmet with a star-shaped visor and a star jetpack.
"Power Up!" Salamondra ate his own power-up and entered his space form as well.
"Take off!" Celestria said as they both took off like rockets and head straight for the stars. The two of them were able to leave the planet's atmosphere and spotted the satellite they needed. Even the time on it was affected, but Salamondra opened it up and input the time for it.
"Just give me the signal." Salamondra said.
"A few more seconds..." Celestria said as she watched the timer until it hit the right time. "Now!" Salamondra entered the time and all the clocks on Earth was now fixed. "Miraculous Starlight!" She used her powers and the magic stars covered the entire planet with all the distortions in time fully restored.
"Pound it!" Both heroes did their traditional celebration.
"By the way, what did you want to talk to me about?" Salamondra questioned.
"Uh... It's not important anymore." Celestria said as she was having doubts about her plan now.

The Heartfilias
"Lights Out!" Celestria flew all the way down back to her home and managed to get the tiger miraculous back form Sting. Once she landed on the balcony, she was met with Master Precht.
"So? Did you learn Salamondra's identity?" Precht questioned.
"No." Lucy said.
"What?! I warned you that..." "Wait!" Fangg said as he flew out to Master Precht.
"Pleast, allow me to explain everything." Fangg said. He took the time to explain to Precht what happened. Hearing someone combined the miraculous was quite a surprise, and he's now beginning to understand the situation. "And that's what happened."
"Now do you understand why Salamondra and I can't learn each other's identities until Black Knight is defeated?" Lucy questioned. "It's not fair that you're judging us by your fears instead of our actions when we've proven ourselves a hundred times."
"You're right, and I do apologize." Precht said as he realized how foolish he was being. "If this will prevent the ultimate taboo, continue on with what you've been doing? How do you say it again?" He said as held up his fist.
"Pound it." Both did as they bumped fists. To this day, Celestria and Salamondra still don't know each other's identities for the world's sake. Hopefully they will one day...when Black Knight is defeated.
