"Working at a bakery can be a lot of fun." Jude said. It was career day at Lucy's school and the parents are there to talk about their careers. "I get to bake what I want in my design, and I get to share it with others. Lucy, could you please pass out some macaroons."
"Sure, Dad." Lucy said as he handed her a trey for Lucy to hand to her class. Levy was filming everything as she watched it all.
"Whatever." Taylor said. "Just keep those yucky macaroons away from my new bracelet." She said as she showed off a new gold bracelet. "Your father would have to sell a million macaroons to buy you one." She mocked Lucy with only for Lucy to get annoyed. "It's so expensive that Daddy brought a police escort to watch over it." It's true. Her father brought in Officer Lahar to watch over.
"Mayor Allard, I don't think this is a good idea." Lahar said. "What if there's a real emergency?"
"Nonsense, Lahar." Mayor Allard said. "No protection is too big or small for my little girl. Remember that you follow my orders."
"Officer Lahar, since you are here, how about you tell the class what being a police officer is like?" Mirajane suggested. "I'm sure there are some students that inspire to be an officer."
"I would be honored." Officer Lahar said as he stepped forward. He did take notice of Taylor admiring her bracelet. "Excuse me, Miss Allard, but if that bracelet is important to you, I highly suggest you put it somewhere for safekeeping."
"Whatever." Taylor said as she put the bracelet in a case and in her purse. She put her purse on the floor, but it got in Lucy's way and she ended up tripping over it. "Oh my gosh. Is there ever a day you aren't tripping over something?"
"Hey, it's your fault for putting your purse in the way." Lucy said. What no one saw was that the case with Taylor's bracelet slid over to Natsu's bag with Igneel spotting it. Igneel thought it was something else and took it.
"Sweet. Free meat." Igneel said as he opened the case, but saw it wasn't meat at all. Meanwhile, Officer Lahar was telling the class about being an officer.
"As an officer, it's my responsibility to invoke law and order, but I have to be fair and balance." Lahar said. "It is a great pleasure serving Mayor Aidan Allard, but I'm here to serve the people." He even put on a white glove for a little added effect. "I assure you that I can be very thorough when it comes to my job."
"My bracelet! It's gone!" Taylor said. "You!" She said as she looked at Lucy. "You stole it!"
"What?!" Lucy said as she couldn't believe Taylor would even accuse her like that. "No I didn't!"
"My daughter is no thief!" Jude said.
"Yeah right. You tripped over my bag and stole my bracelet! Daddy!" Taylor called as she wanted her father to do something about this.
"Officer Lahar, I demand that you arrest this girl!" Aidan said.
"What?! Mayor Allard, I can't do that. I can't just arrest someone without any proof or evidence." Lahar said.
"May I remind you that you work for me! I brought you here to keep an eye on my daughter and her precious bracelet!" Aidan said.
"I didn't take it." Lucy said.
"It's probably just misplaced. You might be a brat, but don't be a dramatic brat." Levy said.
"Lahar, do something about this at once! Search that young lady's bag and find my daughter's bracelet!" Aidan demanded.
"Sir, there's really nothing I can do." Lahar said.
"Then you're a failure as a police officer! You're fired!" Aidan said.
"Sir, you can't be serious? Over something as small as this? You can't do that." Lahar said.
"I'm the mayor. I can do as I please." Aidan said as he was acting as spoiled as his daughter. "This is no small matter. This is my daughter we're talking about! If you aren't going to do a thing, get out!" He demanded. Lahar couldn't believe he was fired over something so trivial and was humiliated in front of so many. Lahar did what he was told and just left the school in shame.
...
Black Wizard
Black Wizard could feel the despair and anger of Lahar from being fired for really no reason.
"An officer, who takes his job seriously, and is wrongly fired. Well, I have a job for him." Black Wizard said as he took an etherious and filled it with evil. "Fly, my little etherious, and evillize him!" He released the etherious into the city with a form of dark justice coming.
...
The Highschool
"Stay out of my daughter's bag! If she said she didn't take it, she didn't take it!" Jude said as he was getting an argument with the mayor.
"If she didn't, there shouldn't be any problem with searching through." Aidan said.
"Everyone, let's try and remain calm. I'm sure the bracelet is around here somewhere." Alzack said.
"It's like Officer Lahar said. You can't just accuse someone without any proof." Mirajane said. "I'm sure if we all just calm down, we'll get to the bottom of this." When Mira said that, it gave Lucy an idea as she spotted Levy was still filming.
"Hey, Levy was filming everything." Lucy said. "Maybe she filmed something." Levy was more than willing to show what she filmed.
"Urgh... This whole thing is stupid." Gray complained. "All this fuss over a stupid bracelet." Natsu didn't like this himself, but when he looked down at his bag, he spotted Igneel holding the bracelet. Knowing this was bad, he snuck out of there to figure out why Igneel had it in the first place.
...
Officer Lahar
Lahar made it back to his car, but he still couldn't believe he was fired like that. He was beginning to lose his respect for Aidan since he clearly just abused his power. That anger and frustration drew in the etherious with it entering his glove and he was connected to Black Wizard now.
"Rune Knight, I'm Black Wizard. I'm giving you the power to bring out true justice to all those who have done wrong. However, Celestria and Salamondra will get in your way. You'll have to take their miraculous to stop them."
"Understood, sir. I'll show the mayor what real justice is." Lahar said as he began to be overtaken by the evil power with his car changing as well.
...
The Classroom
Levy was showing everything that she filmed to find out what happened to the bracelet. It didn't seem like there was anything out of the ordinary, but Lucy did spot Samantha holding the bracelet in the film.
"See? Samantha was the last person holding it." Lucy said.
"Hold on. Are you implying that I took it? Taylor's my BFF. I would never take it from her." Samantha said.
"Maybe, but Samantha was the last one who had it." Lucy said. She continued looking at the film and saw that it looked like Cana was staring at the bracelet as well. "Look at that. Cana was looking right at the bracelet."
"What?" Cana said as all eyes were on her. "Just because I was looking at it, I'm a suspect? I was only thinking how bracelet took the eyes off of Taylor's furry lip." That was quite the sting as Taylor covered her mouth.
"How dare you all talk to my daughter like that!" Aidan said.
"All I'm saying is that really everyone here is a suspect, and Taylor just wrongly thought I did it." Lucy said.
"Seriously? Ever heard of innocent until proven guilty?" Cana said as she was offended on what Lucy was saying.
"If that's so, you won't mind us looking through your bag." Taylor said.
"No problem, as long as you look through everyone else's as well." Lucy said.
"No one's looking through my bag!" Cana said.
"I didn't even take it." Samantha said.
"Lucy, let the adults handle this." Jude said. Lucy was a little surprised that her father was speaking against her.
"Dad, she called me a thief. I'm just defending myself." Lucy said.
"All you're doing is shifting blame and wrongly accusing your classmates like Taylor is." Jude said.
"Give me the phone! I'll have a special team analyze the contents!" Aidan demanded.
"No way!" Levy said as she's not giving up her phone.
"Let's just call Celestria. She'll handle it." Taylor suggested.
"I think she has better things to do than worry about your stupid bracelet." Gray said. All of it was getting out of hand and no one knew what was really going on.
...
Natsu
"I thought it was a container with meat in it." Igneel said as he was explaining why he had the bracelet.
"That's you're excuse?! Meat?! Why would Taylor even have meat?!" Natsu said. "You realize Lucy is being wrongly blamed for this. We've got to fix this somehow." While Natsu was trying to come up with something without revealing Igneel, trouble was walking to the school. Miss Porlyusica was on her way back to class as she threw a cup of coffee away, but it just bounced off the trash can.
"Wait right there." Someone grabbed her by the shoulder.
"Who are you?" Porlyusica questioned. She saw Officer Lahar wearing a blue fancy jacket with a lighter blue shirt that had an ankh-like symbol on it. He also wore white pants, cape, and gloves.
"I'm Rune Knight. You need to dispense that trash properly."
"Excuse me?" Porlyusica said as she didn't understand what was going on. Rune Knight held up his hand and wrote in the hand with incredible speed. A series of runes appeared around Porlyusica and the trash cans. Out of nowhere, trash fell around her.
"You're not allowed to leave until all the trash is properly disposed of." Rune Knight claimed and he was right. There was a barrier around her that was keeping her from leaving. Natsu heard all the commotion and saw Rune Knight making his way into the school.
"This is gonna have to wait." Natsu said as he put the bracelet away and hurried to find a spot to transform. As for Run Knight, he jumped all the way to the classroom.
...
The Classroom
"Just admit you stole it!" Taylor said.
"Quit blaming me! It could have been anyone!" Lucy said.
"Lucy, stop it! You're just making things worse!" Jude said. Everyone kept arguing about this bracelet until they heard the door smashed open and they were all surprised to see Lahar came back.
"Where is that fraud of a mayor?" Rune Knight said.
"Mayor Allard? What do you want with him?" Alzack asked.
"I am Rune Knight, someone who truly cares for law an order." Rune Knight said. "I'm going to make sure the mayor is punished." Knowing this was trouble, Lucy managed to sneak out of the classroom to make sure she could transform.
"Principal Conbolt, I demand that you find my daughter's bracelet!" He could hear the mayor in the principal's office still trying to find the bracelet. "My poor daughter has been disrespected and humiliated! I will not stand for this!" Rune Knight made his way to the office. Lucy was ready to transform, but she had to talk to Stella about something first.
"Stella, be honest. I was only trying to defend myself, but do you think I handled that badly?" Lucy said.
"Well, your father was right. You were shifting blame and wrongly accusing others." Stella said. "It would have been easier to just show you didn't had the bracelet, and maybe offer to help find it." Now Lucy was feeling like a big jerk. "I'm sure you'll find a way to fix things."
"Stella, Twinkle!" Lucy focused on the task at hand as she transformed into Celestria. Meanwhile, Natsu finally found a place for him to transform and put the bracelet away.
"What are we gonna do about the bracelet?" Igneel said.
"Later. We need to do something now." Natsu said. "Igneel, Fire Up!" Dealing with the bracelet later, he transformed into Salamondra.
"I'll send an entire swat team down here!" Aidan said as he demanded the principal do something. That was right when Rune Knight broke the door down. "Hasn't anyone taught you to knock?"
"Mayor Allard, you're are accused of abuse of power. You're not fit to be mayor." Rune Knight said. He wrote runes in the air and unleashed some energy blast near him and the principal. Run Knight was about to attack again, but Celestria's whip came around his arm and pulled him towards her. "Celestria... Your services are no longer needed. Paris has a new dispenser of justice."
"I agree that what Mayor Allard did to you was wrong, but I still can't let you do this." Celestria said. She pulled him closer to her, but he went with it as he ran towards her and tackled her back.
"Now you choose to defy the proper authorities? You will be punished as well, Celestria." Rune Knight said, but before he could do anything, he saw the mayor running for it. Rune Knight grabbed Celestria and tossed her over the railing and chased after the mayor. The mayor got to his car and escaped. Rune Knight was about to go after him, but something tripped his feet.
"I'm sorry. Is it wrong to trip a knight?" Salamondra said as she stood by the entrance. Celestria hurried over to help stop him.
"Listen, you're Officer Lahar, not Rune Knight! Don't let the person who gave you these powers fool you!" Celestria said. "He's just using you for his own purposes! You're not bringing justice!" It seemed like she was getting through, but Black Wizard won't allow it.
"Don't listen to her!" Black Wizard said. "You can still dispense true justice. They wish to get in the way." Celestria and Salamondra tried attacking him again, but Rune Knight wrote in the air and created runes that generated a sonic boom that blew the two of them against the wall. Rune Knight blew a whistle and a carriage driven by a white horse rode up to him.
"Mr. Rune Knight!" Taylor called as she walked over to him. "I have a serious situation! Something of mine has been stolen!"
"Come with me and tell me all about it." Rune Knight said as he opened the carriage for her. Taylor climbed inside with him steering. Celestria and Salamondra saw him try to escape and hurried after him. Rune Knight drove the carriage like a police car as it bobbed and weave around other cars. Celestria and Salamondra hurried to catch him. They jumped as far as they could and landed on the carriage.
"Ride's over, Rune Knight!" Celestria said.
"Celestria?!" Taylor said. They both looked inside and saw her in there. "Perfect! You can help too! I know that Lucy stole my bracelet. She must be arrested!"
"Can't you see we have something more important to do? This man wants to hurt your father." Celestria said.
"Besides, what makes you think it was her? Do you have any proof? You can't arrest or accuse someone without proof." Salamondra said. Rune Knight took the chance to shake them. He turned the carriage as hard as he could and caused them to fall right off and them land on each other with Rune Knight retreating. Celestria pushed herself up to see she was right Salamondra.
"You know, all you had to do was asked." Salamondra flirted as he tried to kiss her, but she blocked it with her hand.
"You might be a hero, but you're not getting rewarded like that." Celestria said as they got up and saw he was gone.
"Now what?" Salamondra asked.
"There's no point in chasing him. We know where he's going." Celestria said.
"Right. If it's the mayor he's after..." Salamondra said.
"...He'll have to head directly for City Hall." Celestria said.
...
City Hall
The mayor took cover in his office at City Hall. He thought he was safe until the main door was busted open by Rune Knight's carriage. Everyone was in a panic. They ran out with Rune Knight sealing off the door so the mayor couldn't escape.
"Mayor Aidan, you will revoke your position of mayor to me." Rune Knight demanded.
"I will do no such thing." Aidan said.
"I think you'll reconsider." Rune Knight said as he opened the carriage and showed he had Taylor as he had her in cuffs. She went from a citizen in need to a hostage.
"Watch my hair!" Taylor said.
"Don't you dare lay a finger on my precious little girl!" Aidan said.
"You know what you must do then." Rune Knight said as he had him cornered with no other option. As for Celestria and Salamondra, they hurried to City Hall as fast as they could. When they got there, it was too late. A massive screen was placed on City Hall and showed Mayor Aidan on it.
"I am hereby revoking my position of mayor to a true enforcer of law, order, and justice: Rune Knight." Aidan said with the screen shifting to him.
"Celestria and Salamondra are now Paris' most wanted criminals for abstructing justice." Rune Knight said. "Celestria and Salamondra, you must turn yourselves in surrender your miraculous."
"Is he serious?" Salamondra said. They didn't think anyone would actually buy that.
"There they are!" The police said as they spotted them and went through with Rune's Knights orders.
"Time to go." Celestria said as the two of them retreated, but will be back.
...
Later
It was now night with Paris searching for Celestria and Salamondra as wanted criminals. They stuck close to City Hall, but they had to keep themselves hidden from the police.
"This is ridiculous." Salamondra said. "How did we become the criminals? There's no solid proof against us. What about all the times we saved Paris?"
"We're still saving Paris." Celestria said as she might have an idea to get around this. "Here's what I need you to do..." When she went over the plan, Salamondra made himself known as he went down to the streets and danced around.
"Is it me or is there something about a city at night that makes you want to dance?" Salamondra said. The police didn't bother with that as they all just went at him. That provided a good distraction for Celestria to slip in and get Rune Knight. Celestria moved through City Hall and soon got to the office. She snuck inside and saw Taylor and her dad help captive with Rune Knight in there. She carefully made her way inside with Taylor spotting her. Celestria told her to keep quiet.
"Go, Celestria. Go." Taylor whispered, but Rune Knight heard her and spotted Celestria.
"Does she listen to anyone?" Celestria complained. Rune Knight wrote more runes to try and catch her, but she moved around quickly. Celestria took her whip and got it around Aidan and Taylor as she tossed them right out of the room and out of danger.
"My hair!" Taylor complained as Celestria shut the door.
"Nowhere to run, Rune Knight." Celestria said.
"I have no intention of running." Rune Knight claimed. He kept trying to attack her until Salamondra broke through a window and kicked him back.
"What about little old me?" Salamondra said.
"You're both face justice soon enough." Rune Knight said as he continued to write runes at incredible speed. They both ducked down behind the mayor's desk and tried to endure his attacks.
"Man, he's crazy fast at that." Salamondra said.
"Yeah... I bet the etherious is in his glove." Celestria said.
"But he's writing those runes too fast. How are we going to stop him from writing anything?" Salamondra questioned.
"With this. Open the Celestial Gate!" Celestria used her powers and was given a belt. "A Virgo belt? How does this work?" She looked around to see what she can use. She saw Rune Knight's arms, the floor, and Salamondra. "I think I have an idea, but I still need something like a ring. Where am I going to get one?" Luckily, Salamondra had just the thing. He took Taylor's bracelet and carefully slid it under the desk.
"Celestria, look here." Salamondra said as he pretended he just found it.
"Taylor's bracelet!" Celestria said. She's not sure how it got there, but she doesn't care right now. "Okay, use your power where he's standing." Salamondra made his move as he jumped on the desk and jumped again near Rune Knight.
"Dragon Fire!" He slammed his hand on the ground. He caused the ground to break apart with Rune Knight falling through the ground and got stuck.
"You think this can stop me?" Rune Knight said.
"This can!" Celestria said as took the belt and wrapped it around his wrists. She tightened the grip to keep him tied and used the bracelet as a way to keep the belt in place. With his arms restricted, she took off his glove and ripped it with the etherious flying out. "No more evildoing for you, little etherious." She said as she activated her whip and twirled it around. "Time to de-evillize!" She tossed the whip and was able to grab a hold of it. "Gotcha! Bye-Bye, little guy." She said as she released it after purifying it. "Miraculous Starlight!" She tossed the belt in the air and fixed all the damage that was done with Rune Knight becoming Lahar again.
"Pound it!" Both heroes bumped fists.
"Better get going." Salamondra said. "I'm going to change back soon and you won't be to resist me. My charm is a real crime."
"I think your bad sense of humor is a crime." Celestria said as Salamondra ran out of there. Celestria still had Taylor's bracelet and spotted her bag, giving her an idea to fix everything.
...
Black Wizard
"You might have escaped this time, Celestria, but you won't escape next time." Black Wizard said as he hasn't accepted defeat just yet. "It's only a matter of time until I catch you."
...
City Hall
"Here's your purse, young lady." Lahar said as he handed Taylor's bag back.
"Now if only I can find my... My bracelet!" Taylor said as she found it in her bag.
"How about that. It must have just slid into a different part of your purse when that girl tripped over it." Lahar said.
"Mayor Allard, I think Officer Lahar does his job pretty well. I heard what happened, and I don't think it was fair to fire him." Celestria said. "He's a great policeman and takes pride in his work. He shouldn't be punished just for taking his job seriously."
"You're right, Celestria." Aidan said as he can see how wrong he was. "Lahar, I do hope you accept my sincerest apologies. It was wrong of me to fire you the way that I did, and I do hope you'll stay on the force."
"I be happy to, sir." Lahar said.
"And I must add that you did have a valuable lesson you were teaching the students. No one should be accused of any crime without proof. Isn't that right, Taylor?" Aidan said to get Taylor to understand that lesson.
"Yes, Daddy." Taylor said, but didn't seem to really care.
"A valuable lesson indeed." Celestria said as she made her way out and took the lesson with her. She ended up making it up to her friends and is still bringing out real justice and such to others.
