Dark clouds loom over Paris. Lucy Heartfilia and Natsu Dragneel were given the two most powerful miraculous. They defeated Sema, but failed to capture the etherious. Now, many people have become Sema, and they will become active once Jellal becomes Sema again. Feeling she wasn't up for the task, Lucy was already quitting.
"Lucy, hurry up!" Jude called as he was ushering her daughter to hurry to school.
"Coming." Lucy said as she was gathering her stuff together. She soon spotted the box that held the magic earrings. She hates that she's letting Stella down, but she doesn't think she's up for the task. That's why she's going to give them to someone who will. She put the box in her bag and made her way to the school.
...
Dragneel Mansion
"Make sure Natsu is keeping up with his studies." Zeref said as he stood at the top of some stairs as he was speaking to his employees: Invel and Jacob. "Once he's done, you will escort him to his photoshoot, Jacob."
"Yes, sir." Invel said. "However, if I may, why not let Natsu go to regular school? He'll just keep trying to go, and perhaps it might be better for him."
"Yeah. The boy just wants to pal around." Jacob said. They tried appealing to him, but Zeref glared at them and that caused them to quiet down.
"Natsu is my brother. I decide what's best for him. You two might be in charge of his well-being, but keep in mind that you work for me." Zeref said. "Invel, isn't Natsu suppose to be practicing the keyboard right now?"
"He is. Just listen." Invel said. Zeref listened up to Natsu's room and could hear music being played. What he didn't know was that it was a recording being played.
...
Natsu
Natsu ran as fast as he could as he was trying to make it to school on time. While he was running, Igneel hid in his bag.
"Why are you in such a hurry to get to school?" Igneel asked. "Aren't most people your age against that kind of thing?"
"My brother wants me homeschooled. Some might think that's cool, but it gets rather lonely." Natsu said. "I want some freedom and make friends. I'm tired of being locked in my house." Natsu could see the school just ahead as he could finally see his time has come. "This time, it's going to happen." As Natsu was making his way to school, Lucy arrived herself. She looked around and tried to find someone who would be better at being Celestria than herself.
"Lucy!" Erza called as she and Levy arrived.
"Hi, girls." Lucy said.
"Hey. Did you see this?" Levy said as she held out her phone and showed a recording of Celestria and Salamondra fighting Sema.
"Are those actual superheroes?" Lucy said as she was acting like she knew nothing.
"It was so awesome!" Levy said. "They're names are Celestria and Salamondra! They were incredible! Salamondra destroyed a net with one touch, and this Celestria was able to restore all the damage that was done."
"They were even able to save Jellal. Levy here is the first person to get footage of them." Erza said.
"You don't say." Lucy said as she kept up the act. Lucy thought about how Erza is one of the toughest girls she knows and Levy was awfully brave to get close to the action. Maybe one of them could be Celestria.
"Dude, you really don't remember anything?" The three of them had a look and spotted some students gathered around Jellal on a bench. They were all talking to him about what happened.
"I remember I was so angry. Then, there was this voice of a man in my head." Jellal said. "After that, the next thing I knew was that I was at the stadium getting a police escort back home."
"You were chasing after me like you wanted to hurt me." Gajeel said. "I guess, I did had it coming. I didn't mean to make you so mad about the note. Sorry."
"It's fine, Gajeel. I just wish I knew what all that was about." Jellal said.
"Jellal." Erza said as she and the girls came over to speak with him. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah. I'm doing a lot better, but the whole thing was freaky." Jellal said.
"I'll bet." Taylor said as she and Samantha showed up. "It was freaky because you were a freak. Although you were one before you transformed into some sort of monster. Now, because of you, we have a bunch of freaky statues all over. How does it feel being the new biggest loser?" She mocked.
"Taylor, leave him alone." Erza said. "He's had a long day."
"I'll bet after being a monster." Taylor said.
"Jellal did act like a child." Samantha said.
"You're not a man like my darling Natsu is." Taylor said.
"Again with this Natsu? How do you even know this Natsu will show up? He didn't before." Levy said.
"Hi, Taylor." All of them looked and saw Natsu standing right there.
"Natsu Dear!" Taylor called with delight as she ran right over to him and practically jumped on him. "Did you miss me? I bet you did." Someone who is actually friends with Taylor? A lot of people thought this guy would be trouble as well. Lucy thought he seemed a little familiar, but she spotted Jellal getting up and walking away. He still looked rather upset. Knowing what it was about, she followed him to the lockers. Jellal pressed his back against the lockers and slid down until he hit the floor.
"Jellal, are you okay?" Lucy asked as she walked right over to him and sat next to him. "It might be a good talk about it."
"Lucy, you're friends with Erza, right?" Jellal asked.
"Yeah." Lucy said.
"The truth is... This whole thing started because Gajeel poked fun at me for not telling Erza that I like her." Jellal said.
"Really? I always suspected that you had a thing for her." Lucy said.
"But I don't know how to tell her. I want to impress her." Jellal said. "You're one of her best friends. I don't suppose there's anything you can do?"
"Erza would love it if you're bold and confident." Lucy said. "I know she would love it if you made something special for her. Maybe a poem, a drawing, something that would be meaningful."
"Maybe I could write a song?" Jellal suggested.
"Perfect! What girl wouldn't love having a song written for her?!" Lucy said. "I know you can do it Jellal and Erza would love it." Jellal was starting to feel better about himself and hoped that it would work.
...
Black Wizard
"I can feel it." Black Wizard said as he opened up his window. "I can sense wavering emotions, teetering on happiness and misery. This could be the chance I've been waiting for." He took out his sword and the etherious rom before crawled out. "Flyaway, my little etherious. Be ready to evillize him once again!" He released the etherious out into Paris as it was getting ready to take Jellal over again.
...
The Highschool
Class was starting and Natsu was excited for his first day. Taylor showed him the way to his class as she was excited to be having one with him.
"Here you go, Natsu. I saved you a seat in the front row." Taylor said.
"Thanks, Taylor." Natsu said as he was seating next to a guy with black hair and wore a silver necklace with a sword on it. "Hey. I'm Natsu."
"Friend of Taylor? No thanks." The guy said as he just brushed Natsu away. Natsu was wondering why people seemed to be giving him the cold shoulder until he saw Taylor sticking chewed gum on someone's seat.
"What are you doing?" Natsu said.
"Teaching the losers who sit here about respect. They'll see what happens when they don't see things my way." Taylor said.
"That's not respect, Taylor. That's just being a jerk for no good reason." Natsu said as he moved her aside and was trying to get it off. Meanwhile, Levy and Lucy were on their way to class as well and Lucy was trying to make her move.
"Levy, let me ask. Wouldn't you love to be like Celestria?" Lucy asked.
"It certainly would be a great opportunity. I can't imagine who would pass being a hero." Levy said. Lucy thought Levy might work. So, she took the box and slipped it in Levy's bag carefully. When they walked in the classroom, they spotted Natsu and thought he was doing something to Lucy's seat.
"Hey! What are you doing?!" Lucy said and caused Natsu to stop with Lucy spotting the gum. She also saw Taylor and Samantha laughing. "I get it. Nice try, you three."
"No..." Natsu said as he wanted to explain, but he didn't know what to say. Lucy just took a handkerchief and covered the gum with it. Natsu just went back to his seat without saying anything.
"See what I mean, Natsu?" Taylor said. "Girls like her need to see they're beneath us and need to be reminded of that." Lucy looked at Natsu again and had a strange sense of familiarity.
"Why do I feel like I've seen him before?" Lucy asked.
"Maybe this is why." Levy said as she ran a search on him and showed him adds and articles on Natsu.
"He's the younger brother of Zeref Dragneel?! He's one of the most mysterious but biggest star in the fashion world. He's also one of my favorites." Lucy siad.
"To make things worse, he's friends with that rotten girl. Just what we need, another spoiled brat." Levy said.
"Dude, why didn't you tell Lucy it was all Taylor's doing?" The guy sitting next to him asked.
"I've known Taylor since we were kids. Our parents were old friends." Natsu said. "I know she's not the best of people, but she's really the only friend I have. I can't just throw her under the bus." The guy felt pretty bad for him having the likes of Taylor as his only friend.
"I'm Gray Fullbuster." He said as he held out his hand. "I think it's time you made some new friends." Looks like Natsu is on the right track to doing just that.
...
Erza
"Oh man. I'm going to be late." Erza said as she hurried out of the bathroom. She hurried to class, but she bumped right into Jellal when she ran out. "Jellal?"
"Hey, Erza." Jellal said as he grabbed a piece of paper. "I got something that I'm hoping you would hear?"
"Okay..." Erza said as she thought this was weird. Jellal wanted to perform the song he wrote for Erza, but he couldn't bring the words out. Erza was also in a hurry since she had to get to class. "Jellal, can this wait? We're going to be late for class." Erza just took off without even hearing him out. Jellal felt so frustrated an embarrassed at the same time that he crippled the paper in his hand. The emotions that drew the etherious to him as it entered the portal again and was speaking with Black Wizard again.
"Sema! We meet again." Black Wizard said. "You've been given a second chance. You can be with the one you love, as well as get back at those who ridiculed and stopped you. This time, you'll have some help. Our deal still remains the same. You must bring me the miraculous of Celestria and Salamondra."
"I won't fail this time." Jellal said as he was transforming into Sema again. As soon as Jellal transformed, it awakened those who were transformed into Sema copies. With some help this time, and Lucy not willing to fight, who can really stop Sema now?
...
Mr. Connell's Class
"Natsu Dragneel?" Alzack asked as he was taking attendance. When he called for Natsu's name, Natsu wasn't really sure what to do.
"You say here to let him know you're here." Gray said.
"Here!" Natsu shouted as he stood up. That caused the rest of the class to laugh with him getting slightly embarrassed.
"Jellal Fernandez?" Alzack said, but he didn't hear or see him. "Jellal?" He called again. Suddenly, Sema smashed through the wall like a shooting star.
"Here!" Sema said. Everyone was entering a state of panic with Sema grabbing a hold of Erza. "You're coming with me."
"Daddy, the monster is back!" Taylor said over her phone. Sema hadn't forgotten about her as he placed both girls under his arms.
"You're both coming with me!" Sema said. He walked over to the wall and smashed it down with a kick and went outside with both girls. Natsu took the commotion as an opportunity to duck in the bathroom to transform.
"So much for my first day of school." Natsu said as he let Igneel out.
"At least it's one you won't forget." Igneel said.
"Igneel, Fire Up!" Natsu said with Igneel being pulled into the ring and Natsu became Salamondra again. As for Lucy, she lay low as Levy saw Sema getting further and further away.
"Come on. Celestria might show up." Levy said to Lucy.
"No way. I'm staying here." Lucy said.
"Are you serious? Erza's one of your best friends and you're not even going to try and help her?" Levy asked. Lucy wanted to help, but she's afraid she'll make things worse like before. She grabbed Levy's bag and held it out for her to take the miraculous.
"I just get in the way. You and Celestria would be better off without me." Lucy said.
"Sounds like someone is suffering from low self-confidence. We'll talk about that later. I'm not missing this." Levy said as she hurried off to where all the action was. What Levy said got to Lucy until she noticed she was still holding Levy's bag with the miraculous in it.
"Wait!" Lucy called as she hurried after her.
...
Sema
"Did you forget who my father is? You'll be lucky to still be living here." Taylor said, but Sema ignored her as he carried both girls. Salamondra arrived on the scene as he got in Sema's way.
"Wasn't one beating enough for you?" Salamondra said.
"It will be different this time, lizard face. This time, I have help." Sema said. The other copies of Sema showed up as they were gathering around Salamondra. Salamondra held out his staff and twirled it around. He smashed it against one and tried to fight off the others. While he was fighting them, the real Sema was leaving with the girls.
"Jellal, stop! You're not yourself!" Erza pleaded. "Where are you even taking me?"
"To the Eiffel Tower. A powerful wizard will bring us together." Sema said.
"Gross. Why are you even bringing me with you?" Taylor said.
"I have something else in store for you. More...painful." Sema said. Taylor didn't like the sound of that at all.
...
Salamondra
Salamondra was trying his best to fight off the copies of Sema on his own, but it was hard as they were all fast and strong. He was also expecting Celestria to show up.
"Any day now, Celestria!" Salamondra called out. Levy arrived as she tried recording this and was expecting Celestria to show up as well.
"Where is she?" Levy questioned. Salamondra kept trying to fight, but it was difficult. He tried attacking one, but it smashed into him and knocked his staff out of his hands. One copy lifted a car and tossed it at him. Salamondra moved out of the way, but it was heading for Levy. Lucy arrived just in time to see the car fall on top of Levy and trapped her against the wall. Salamondra tried to keep the fighting going, but one grabbed a hold of him and lifted him off the ground.
"Let go of me!" Salamondra said as he tried to get free as all of them took him prisoner. Lucy saw that and Levy trapped with no one to help.
"Help!" Levy called with it echoing in Lucy's head. That's what made her decide. No matter how afraid she was, she's the only one that can help her friends. She took out the miraculous and put the earrings back on with Stella coming out.
"I need to save Levy and Erza!" Lucy said.
"I knew you come around." Stella said.
"I'm not sure I'm up for this, but I've got to do something." Lucy said as she was finding the courage to keep fighting. "Stella, Twinkle!" Stella was pulled into the earrings and Lucy transformed into Celestria, a more confident Celestria. She took her whip and tossed it as it wrapped around a post and around the car. She grabbed both ends and pulled just enough for Levy to slip out. "You can't stay here. It's too dangerous." She said as she grabbed Salamondra's staff and hurried to help him. She went up to the rooftops and found the one holding him. "Salamondra, catch!" She tossed the staff at him. He was able to catch it and extended it to whack the Sema holding him and get free.
"Who's next?" Salamondra said, but Celestria wrapped her whip around his leg and pulled him out of there with him landing on his back on the roof.
"Sorry I'm late." Celestria said.
"Lady, you really know how to turn my world around." Salamondra said.
"Oh, you're a jokester, are you? Come on." Celestria said as she took off.
"Wait!" Salamondra called as he hurried after her. "Aren't we going to fight them?"
"No. If we want to save all of them, we go for the source." Celestria said.
...
The Eiffel Tower
"I demand that you unhand my daughter at once!" Mayor Allard called through a megaphone with the police surrounding the tower with Sema holding the girls hostage. "Officer Lahar here is more than willing to use force."
"Daddy, save me!" Taylor called.
"You want her? You can have her." Sema said as she held her up and it wasn't looking good.
"Jellal, don't! Not even Taylor deserves this!" Erza called, but he wasn't listening. Sema tossed Taylor with all his might and it wasn't going to be a pretty landing as everyone screamed.
"I promise I'll be nice, say please, thank you, and..." Taylor pleaded for her life and it was saved as Celestria came in was able to catch her. "I made no promise." Salamondra joined in as he landed down with them ready to fight. Taylor ran towards her father with the police ready to act.
"Move in, men!" Lahar ordered.
"No! You don't stand a chance against him!" Celestria said.
"Stand aside and leave this to the professionals. You already failed once." Lahar said and that got to her.
"He's right. If I captured the etherious earlier, this wouldn't be happening. I knew I wasn't the right person for this." Celestria said as she was feeling miserable again, but Salamondra thought differently.
"He's wrong." Salamondra said as he placed his hands on her shoulders. "Without you, she wouldn't be here. Without us, they won't make it. Everyone makes mistakes. We know what we did wrong last time, we'll know what to do this time. A real mistake is making one and deciding to just give up." That actually made her feel better, but there was no time to talk about it as they heard Sema scream and a horde of etherious flew out of him. He fell to the floor with Erza hoping he's okay as she got free. The etherious gathered together and formed an image of Black Wizard.
"People of Paris, I'm Black Wizard." Everyone was watching this and couldn't believe it. "Celestria and Salamondra, surrender the star earrings and dragon ring to me. You've done enough harm to these people."
"Nice try, Black Wizard, but let's not change the roles." Celestria said as she clapped at him and moved closer. "None of this would be happening if it weren't for you. Black Wizard, we'll find you one day, and you'll surrender your miraculous!" She charged right for the tower as she twirled her whip around. "Time to de-evillize!" She jumped at the etherious and lashed her whip at all of them and was capturing all of them. It amazed everyone as she caught them all and landed on the tower. "I promise you, Parisians, that Salamondra and I are here to protect you!" She released all of the etherious with all of them turning pure white with every amazed at what she did.
"Wow..." Salamondra said as he was impressed with her bravery, compassion, and dedication. "Whoever she is, I think I'm in love."
...
Black Wizard
"Argh! That's the problem with heroes. They don't know when to quit." Black Wizard complained and reestablished his connection to Sema. "Sema, if you want what you desire, you must bring me the miraculous."
...
The Tower
Sema got back up with Erza backing away from him. Salamondra hurried to the tower and gave Celestria a hand. Sema used his powers and climbed his way up the tower. They looked around and saw the clones were starting to arrive on the scene.
"You take care of the clones. I'll get the real Sema." Celestria said. Without even waiting to here him out, Celestria climbed up the tower and went after him.
"I better just go with it. Something tells me it's going to be like this." Salamondra said as the clones arrived and he tried fighting them off. Celestria climbed up the tower and made it to the top, but didn't see Sema anywhere.
"Where'd he go?" Celestria questioned, but was tackled hard by something. Sema flew around and kept smashing himself against Celestria until he stopped and landed on the railings.
"It's over, Celestria. Give me your miraculous!" Sema demanded.
"I don't think so." Celestria said as she could see the etheriouized object in his hand. She just needs to get it. "Open the Celestial Gate!" She called on her powers with a parachute appearing. "A Leo parachute?"
"You're not getting out of this one." Sema said as he was ready for action. Celestria looked around and spotted her whip, Sema himself, and the rock. She had an idea and acted fast as she used her whip and got it around him. "Do you really think this will stop me?"
"Just enough." Celestira said as she leaped at him and kicked the rock right out of his hands. "Salamondra!" Salamondra spotted the rock and knew what to do as he jumped for it.
"Dragon Fire!" Salamondra called on his power as he grabbed a hold of the rock. When he landed on the ground with the rock turning to ashes and the etherious flying out. Celestria freed Sema and traced the edge of her whip with her finger.
"No more evildoing for you, little etherious." Celestria said. She was about to capture it again until she saw Sema transform back to Jellal and he lost his balance and fell off the tower. Celestria now saw what the parachute was for as she jumped off. She dived down and grabbed him with her releasing the parachute and began to float down. She didn't forget the etherious as she launched her whip at it. It wrapped around the etherious and pulled it into a ball of light. "Gotcha!" They both landed down on ground gently. When they landed down, she released the etherious as it turned pure white. "Bye-bye, little etherious." With that done, she took the parachute and tossed it in the air. "Miraculous Starlight!" Streams of stars launched in the air with all the damage that was dealt being repaired. It was amazing, incredible. It was a real miraculous.
"Incredible." Salamondra said. Celestria noticed the pile of ash turned into a paper with Erza arriving. Celestria reached for the paper and handed it to Erza.
"I believe this is for you." Celestria said. Erza read over the paper and saw it was Jellal's handwrighting.
"Jellal, is this what you were trying to tell me earlier?" Erza asked.
"Yeah..." Jellal said as he was embarrassed. "I tried telling you, but I was too embarrassed." Erza was touched that Jellal felt this way about her. She actually hugged him and Jellal felt happier than he's ever been.
"That's a real victory." Salamondra said as he held out his fist. Celestria raised hers and they pound it. She also noticed she only had minutes left.
"Time to go. I'll see you later, Salamondra." Celestria said as she took off and Salamondra can't wait until next time.
...
Black Wizard
"You might have won this time, but you won't the next time." Black Wizard said. "I don't care how many villains I have to send your way, Celestria. I will obtain victory." The window closed off the light as this was only the beginning.
...
The Next Day
What happened the other day was something no one will forget. Erza and Jellal got together, and now Paris has new heroes protecting it. As the girls were talking about all that has happened, they all loved it. As for Natsu, Jacob pulled up with Invel and Natsu in the car.
"You disobeyed me, Natsu." Zeref said over a tablet. "You snuck out and went against my wishes." Natsu had a an idea on where this was going. "Take a good look. You won't be going back if you dare disobey me again, or if your grades are unsatisfactory." That wasn't what Natsu was expecting. "Invel will rework your schedule so you will continue to go to school here since it means so much to you."
"Thank you, Zeref! I won't let you down!" Natsu said as he stepped out as he was glad he finally gets to go to regular school.
"You're lucky you were there in the action, and you got a boyfriend out of it, Erza." Levy said. "All of this has inspired me to write a blog about Celestria. It would be incredible."
"Sounds like fun." Lucy said.
"Who knows? You might even be the first one to discovered her secret identity." Erza said with all of them having a laugh. They made it to the classroom and were about to take their seats.
"Wait." Lucy said as she took Taylor's seat with Levy joining her.
"Uh, what do you think you're doing?" Taylor said as she and Samantha came in. "Go on. Get back to where you losers really belong." She said as she pointed to the front row.
"All it takes is one brave act to initiate change." Lucy said.
"What does that mean?" Taylor said.
"It means I'm not putting up with your garbage anymore, Taylor, and neither is anyone else." Lucy said. "So take your attitude and complain to someone who actually cares what you think, if there is any." The whole class cheered Lucy for that burn. Taylor growled in frustration, but she went with it as she sat in the front row. As for Natsu, he walked in and greeted Gray, but Lucy turned away from him.
"Dude, if you want to make friends, tell Lucy the truth." Gray said. "She's one of the nicest girls I know. I'm sure she'll understand." Natsu surely hopes so.
...
Later
The end of the school day came, but rain poured down. Lucy stood out the exit, but she had no umbrella to walk with. Natsu was still around as Jacob pulled up in the car with Natsu having an umbrella.
"I think you're going to need this." Natsu said as he offered the umbrella, but Lucy wouldn't take it. "Listen, I was only trying to take the gum off. It was all Taylor's doing. I don't really have many friends, and I'm hoping to make some." Lucy was shocked as she thought he was an obnoxious jerk. "Lucy's your name, right? I'm hoping we can be friends too." He held out his umbrella for her to take. Lucy looked at his face as he showed a warm smile mixed with stunning eyes. Lucy was rather awestruck with what was happening. She reached out for the umbrella, but it closed around her when she took it. Natsu laughed in enjoyment from that. "I'll see you tomorrow?" He said as he walked away.
"Yeah. I'll seem you today. I mean seal you later." Lucy said. "What's happening to me? Why does my face feel so warm? Why am I stammering?" It seems like Lucy is experiencing love at first sight. As for Mavis, she was aware of the whole thing as she saw the two of them.
"I say you made the right choices, Master." Pixi said.
"Those two are meant for each other." Mavis said. It's a brand new start for a lot of people, and new adventures for Celestria and Salamondra. This is just the start of something miraculous.
AN: I think I should say this now. This story might be my longest word-wise. Therefor, it might take me longer to update chapters in this story than most of my stories. I'm also keeping it open since the actual series is still going. I'm keeping an eye open for any important episodes before the finale, but rest assure, unlike other stories like this one, IT WILL NOT BE ABANDONED!
