"Welcome to an exciting episode of Challenge!" Chapti announced as he was working on a new show. "This is where people try to complete a series of challenges by trying to get others to do things. Let's give it up for our first contestant: Gray Fullbuster!" Gray came on the stage as he was willing to take his turn. This was all happening at the studio, but something else was going on over at Lucy's.

"Grounded?!" Lucy said to her parents.

"Yes, Lucy. Look at all these absences." Jude said as he showed some papers. "What is all of this even for?" It was for when she had to go and be Celestria, but she couldn't tell her parents that.

"I've been...busy. I had to be other places." Lucy said.

"You're not where you're suppose to be and this has to stop. The only place you're allowed to leave is school." Jude said.

"But Gray is performing at the studio." Lucy said.

"I'm sorry, but you're not going." Jude said. Lucy didn't see a way for her to change their minds. She just accepted it and went up to her room.

"I save Paris, but I still end up being grounded." Lucy complained.

"You can't really blame them." Stella said. "It's not like you can tell them the truth."

"I guess being a superhero comes with an increased chance of being grounded." Lucy said.

"Don't worry about Gray. If things go well for both of you, you'll be able to go and see him at the studio next week." Stella said.

"Yeah, but Natsu was there today." Lucy moaned as she watched on the show on her computer.

...

The Studio

Natsu was at the studio as well with Jacob being his bodyguard. He was giving Gray some support in whatever challenge he has to do.

"Here is your challenge, Gray. You have to use this DJ equipment to get someone to dance. Not just anyone. You have to get Mayor Allard to dance!" Chapti said as he brought up Aidan on the big screen with a video chat. "Mayor Allard, it says here that you hate dancing."

"Very. No way you'll be able to get me to dance." Aidan said.

"Challenge accepted." Gray said as he walked over to the equipment. Gray appeared to know what he was doing. He turned the tables and was getting a steady beat going. It sounded pretty good. Gray was better on the turn tables than he looked, and he managed to get Aidan to bob his head around.

"Challenge completed!" Chapti said. "The mayor was bobbing his head around. That counts."

"Wait. That doesn't count. I..." Aidan didn't get the chance to explain as the chat ended. With it over, Gray walked over to Natsu.

"Nice work. Wouldn't you say, Jacob?" Natsu asked.

"I suppose." Jacob said as he didn't really care.

"I didn't know you could DJ like that." Natsu said.

"I've got some surprises of my own." Gray said.

"We'll now move to our next contestant. Please welcome Seilah Moon!" Chapti said as the next contestant stepped forward. It was a woman with long black hair and carried a crystal ball. "Miss Moon here is a hypnotist and a fortuneteller. Let's see if this is all true."

"It is. The great cosmic forces guide me." Seilah said.

"Let's find out if that's actually true. Here's your challenge. You must try to hypnotize...Zeref Dragneel!" Chapti said. A video chat opened to Zeref with Natsu surprised that his brother is taking part in this.

"What is this? I was told this was an interview." Zeref said.

"We'll see if Seilah can really hypnotized Zeref Dragneel." Chapti said.

"Mr. Dragneel, I promise you that I won't mean you any harm. Allow my crystal ball to enlighten you." Seilah said.

"Oh please. No one controls me." Zeref said with annoyance. "You're a joke just like this show. We're done here." Zeref didn't even give her a chance. He ended the chat and put an end to it.

"Ooh... Bad luck for you, Seilah." Chapti said. "It looks like you failed.

"What? That isn't fair. He didn't even give me a chance." Seilah said.

"Sorry, but that's how the cookie crumbles. What a shame that it shows your "psychic powers" are a complete sham too." Chapti said. Seilah felt humiliated and frustrated at the same time as she was on her way out.

...

Black Wizard

Seilah's humiliation was going to be Black Wizard's chance for a new villain.

"Is there a feeling worst than being publicly humiliated and being called a fraud?" Black Wizard said. "With my help, her power can become very really." He had an etherious land in his hands and he gave it power. "Fly, my little etherious, and evillize her!" He said as he unleashed that etherious in Paris.

...

Seilah

Seilah was still feeling the anger and humiliation from being on camera like that. She was on her way out, but the etherious found it's way to her and entered her crystal ball. She was now under Black Wizard's command.

"Commanda, I'm Black Wizard. You'll prove that your powers are real now. You shall be able to control others. In exchange, you'll must bring me the miraculous of Celestria and Salamondra. Do we have a deal?"

"You're wish is my command, and my command shall be everyone's." Seilah said as she accepted the agreement and became his newest villain. Meanwhile, Chapti continued with the show.

"Now, who is next?" Chapti said as he was finding someone else to take part in this game. That was right when Commanda entered the room. She was now wearing a blue kimono with leopard pattern. She also had black leggings with horns. Her crystal ball now looked like a yellow eye.

"I'm taking back my chance on the show." Commanda said.

"Hey! Who are you are you?" Jacob said as he tried to shield Natsu.

"You are a my ninja." Commanda said. A beam fired at Jacob and he ended up becoming a ninja as he jumped and flipped around like one. "And as for you, Chapti, you are a rabbit." Commanda used her powers again and hit Chapti with it. He started to jump around like a rabbit and showed everyone how real her power is now.

"This is not looking good." Gray said, but he looked around and noticed Natsu was gone. "Where'd he go this time?" Natsu managed to duck out of the studio and found a spot to transform.

"She's kidding if she thinks I can be bossed around." Igneel said.

"No worries. She won't get us so easily." Natsu said. "Igneel, Fire Up!" Igneel was pulled into his ring and allowed him to become Salamondra.

...

Lucy

Meanwhile, Lucy saw the live footage of what was going on. She knew she had to leave where she's suppose to be this time to be where she's really needed to be.

"Twinkle, Lucy." Stella reminded her.

"But what can I do? I'm grounded." Lucy said.

"We don't have a choice. We'll just have to be careful." Stella said as she flew over to Lucy's bed. "Make it look like you're under the covers. Maybe you're parents will think you're sleeping." Lucy took a pillow and tucked it under her covers. Now she can get to work.

"Stella, Twinkle!" Lucy had Stella pulled into her earrings and allowed her to become Celestria. She just hope she isn't too late.

...

The Studio

"Now to use my power on the rest of the city." Commanda said as she was ready to take her leave.

"Leaving so soon? What if I ordered you to stop?" Salamondra said as he showed himself.

"Get him, my ninja." Commanda said. Jacob moved pretty fast. He slammed his foot against him and knocked him out of the room.

"Oh man. He was a good martial artist before." Salamondra said. Jacob went after him and tried to fight Salamondra off.

"I now order all of you to be my soldiers." Commanda said as she held up her crystal ball and hit everyone she could. They all became her soldiers and followed her commands even more. "I know just who to take my wrath on as well: Zeref Dragneel." Black Wizard was linked to Commanda and thought about her plan.

"She should focus on getting the miraculous, but this might be able to work." Black Wizard said as he had a sneaky idea of his own. Meanwhile, Salamondra was doing his best to fight off Jacob, but it wasn't easy. Jacob's martial arts made him a capable fighter. Salamondra got beat around until he was thrown against a wall. Salamondra tried to think of a way out of this until he saw a closet was opened a crack. That gave him an idea. Jacon went at him again, but Salamondra grabbed a hold of him and tossed him in the closet. He closed it and locked it to make sure he dodn't get out.

"Don't go away now." Salamondra said.

"Salamondra!" He looked down the hall and spotted Celestria.

"About time you made it. I was missing you too much." Salamondra said.

"Save the games, will you? This is serious. That woman has the ability to control others." Celestria said. "If she gets one of us, we could be in trouble."

"No worries." Salamondra said as he was ready to go. They both charged right at the studio and smashed through the door, but they saw everyone was gone.

"Of course she wouldn't be here anymore." Celestria said. "Where did she go?"

"Celestria! Salamondra!" They looked to the side and spotted Gray as he came out of hiding. He was able to avoid getting caught by Commanda's power.

"Gray Fullbuster... I'm glad you're safe." Celestria said.

"I overheard where that villain is heading. She's after my best bud's brother: Zeref Dragneel." Gray said.

"Dragneel? Where's his brother?" Celestria said as Salamondra tried acting innocent.

"I don't know. He vanished. We've got to find him." Gray said.

"There's no time. Commanda's getting closer and closer to Zeref." Salamondra said.

"But he's my friend." Gray said.

"Gray's right. Natsu could have been taken hostage if he hasn't already by Commanda. We'll find him." Celestria said as she and Gray went on ahead.

"I have a feeling finding Natsu won't be so hard." Salamondra said as he ducked behind a spot to change back. "Fire Down." Natsu changed back and gave Igneel a piece of meat he could eat.

"How are you going to pull off being Salamondra and Natsu?" Igneel questioned.

"I'll find a way to make it work. Don't worry." Natsu said as he hid Igneel again. Natsu headed out and tried to find Celestria and Gray. The two of them looked around until Natsu found them.

"There you are. Where did you go?" Gray said.

"Sorry, man. I ran out to try and get help." Natsu said. He spotted Celestria and was lovestruck with Celestria feeling the same about him. "Hi."

"Hi." Celestria said. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah... Uh! My brother might not be! We have to hurry and help him!" Natsu said.

"Right. Let's go. I'll message Salamondra and have him meet us there." Celestria said as she did that. The three of them hurried off and hoped they could get there before Commanda does.

...

Dragneel Manner

Celestria took the boys and moved as fast as they could to Natsu's home. They came rushing in and hurried to Zeref.

"Invel, where's Zeref? We've got to warn him." Natsu said.

"He already knows, Natsu." Invel said.

"Yes... Apparently some supervillain is after me." Zeref said as he showed himself at the stairs. "I'm not afraid of some girl with a crystal ball."

"Zeref, she's more dangerous than you think." Natsu said. "You've got to hide."

"I'm not going to be pushed around." Zeref said. "Natsu, go to your room. It probably be best if you wait this out in there."

"But..." Natsu tried to talk some sense into his brother, but Zeref gave a stern look and got him to be quiet. "Fine..." Natsu went up to his room with Gray following him.

"He is right, sir. This villain is dangerous." Celestria said.

"I'm not afraid, especially with you here, Celestria." Zeref said as he seemed perfectly calm about the whole thing.

"Your brother is a little too tough, isn't he?" Gray said to Natsu as they went up to his room.

"You have no idea." Natsu said. They went inside Natsu's room with Gray amazed at what how big it was.

"This is your room? This room alone could be an apartment." Gray said.

"Make yourself at home, Gray. I'm going to take a shower." Natsu said.

"Now?" Gray questioned.

"It might help me relax." Natsu said as he entered the bathroom and talked in private with Igneel. "Why doesn't my brother listen?"

"He's a strict guy. It won't matter as long as you do your job." Igneel said. Natsu might have a rough relationship with Zeref, but he's still his brother and has to help him.

"Igneel, Fire Up!" Natsu transformed into Salamondra and got moving. Meanwhile, Celestria was keeping an eye on Zeref in his main office. While she was waiting for Commanda to show up, she saw several photos of Natsu and admired all of them.

"He is something special." Zeref said and snapped her out of her daydreaming. "I know my brother thinks I might be tough on him, but all I do, I do for him. Since we lost both of our parents, I had a lot of work to do to take care of him. That included taking over our mother's fashion work."

"I can't imagine how hard it must have been for you." Celestria said.

"I like to think it all worked out." Zeref said. He looked at her and spotted her earrings "Your earrings are quite unique. May I see them?" He reached for them, but her whip was ringing like a phone and she answered to see it was Salamondra.

"Salamondra, where are you?" Celestria said. "I'm already at Dragneel Manor."

"I... I was trying to slow Commanda down." Salamondra claimed.

"How'd it go?" Celestria asked. Salamondra was right outside. He looked towards the gate and saw Commanda showed up with many more under her control. She put others under her spell on her way and now many to do her bidding.

"Not good. She's coming with a lot of reinforcements." Salamondra said. "I'm coming inside." He ended the call and hurried for an open window.

"This isn't good. Commanda is here." Celestria said. "We need to get you somewhere safe."

"As I said, I'm not afraid. I have a few tricks of my own." Zeref said as he walked over to a computer. Just then, Salamondra came in through the window and closed it up.

"She's coming with an army. Better lock this place up nice and tight." Salamondra said.

"Already on it." Zeref said as he put in a code. Once he got it in, the doors and windows were blocked with metal plating covering them.

...

Commanda

"You can't hide from me, Zeref." Commanda said. The place might be locked up, but she isn't going to let that stop her. "Tear the place apart until you capture Zeref Dragneel, my slaves." Commanda used her power on those she's controlling. They followed her orders and were trying to force their way through as they managed to bust the gate open.

...

Inside

"Everything's locked up. No one should be able to get in or out." Zeref said.

"Good, but not good enough. I'm sure she's going to find a way to get through." Salamondra said. "We better do something now."

"We better make sure Gray and Natsu are taken somewhere safe first." Celestria said. Zeref certainly agreed that his brother should be protected. He pressed a button and a portrait went up to show two remotes.

"Invel, take one of the master switches. You'll be able to open any door with those." Zeref said. Invel took one of the remotes and went with Celestria.

"I'll head back out and try to fight them off. You better find a place to hide." Salamondra said.

"No one tells me what to do. Not even a superhero." Zeref said.

"You're in danger! Quit acting like you're all high mighty and just listen!" Salamondra snapped as he took the other remote. They way he spoke up like that caught Zeref's attention.

"Quite the temper. You almost remind me of someone else I know." Zeref said.

"Yeah... Just lay low somewhere." Salamondra said as he hurried back outside. When they all left, Zeref stared at a portrait of his parents and was hoping things will turn out well in the end. Meanwhile, Invel and Celestria hurried up the stairs and went right into Natsu's room.

"What's going on?" Gray asked.

"Commanda is here. We need to get you out of here. Where's Natsu?" Celestria said.

"In the shower." Gray said.

"A shower? Now?" Celestria said.

"Don't ask because I don't get it either." Gray said.

"Invel, go and take Gray. I'll get Natsu." Celestria said. Invel agreed as he escorted Gray out of the room. As for Salamondra, he made his way around the mansion and knocked a few brainwashed people away as he hurried in to the bathroom window. "Natsu!" He heard Celestria called for him and acted fast. He changed back and turned on the shower. "Natsu!" She said as she opened the door.

"Yeah...?" Natsu said as he stuck his head out to make it look like he wasn't wearing clothes, much to embarrassment as she tried looking away.

"I'm so sorry, but we have to go." Lucy said.

"Can I at least put my clothes on?" Natsu said.

"Sure, if you want. I mean if you must! No, I mean... Yes, but hurry." Celestria said and closed the door. Both of them sighed in relief from that close call. While Celestria was waiting for him, she had a look around his room and spotted his screensaver on his computer that had two people on it. She looked at the photo and wondered who they were.

"Those are my parents." Natsu said as he came out.

"Oh... You look a lot like your father." Celestria said. "I can see where you got your looks." When she said that, they both looked away from each other with smiles on their faces. That was right when a window was smashed and Commanda's brainwashed servants came inside. "I guess Salamondra couldn't hold them off. Take cover back in there, Natsu!" She pushed him back in the bathroom and readied herself to fight the people. Natsu was getting ready to get back in there.

"Irony. She appears to be more interested in Natsu than Salamondra?" Igneel said.

"Zip it. We need to get our head in the game." Natsu said. He transformed again and hurried back around. Celestria tried her best to hold off some of Commanda's soldiers. Salamondra jumped in through the window and kicked a couple back.

"I've heard people would to get in this place, but I don't think this is what they meant." Salamondra said.

"Stay focus, Salamondra." Celestria said as she tossed one into another. The two of them fought them bac, but they heard some sort of smashing sound coming from downstairs. "That didn't sound good." Both of them hurried down the stairs and they saw it was a wreck with Zeref gone. "Not good. Commanda must have gotten a hold of Zeref Dragneel."

"I told him to lay low. Now what are we going to do?" Salamondra said.

"There's still a chance we can save him. Let's go." Celstria said as they both got a move on.

...

The Studio

Commanda managed to get a hold of Zeref. He was brought back to the studio with a rolling camera.

"What is the meaning of this?" Zeref questioned.

"I thought it would be suiting for you to be humiliated on live television like how you ridiculed me." Commanda said.

"Please... No one orders me around." Zeref said.

"That's about to change." Commanda said as she held up her crystal ball. "You are now a butterfly." Her crystal ball fired a beam at him and he started flapping his arms around like a butterfly's wings. Celestria and Salamondra soon arrived at the building and were just outside the set. Salamondra saw what was happening on a T.V. and he wasn't going to let Commanda have her way like that.

"Any ideas how we're going to stop her yet?" Salamondra said.

"The etherious has got to be in that eye-like crystal ball. We just need to get our hands on it." Celestria said. "There's still one thing that could give us the edge. Open the celestial gate!" She used her powers and got a jump rope. "A Libra jump rope?"

"Figure it out later. We need to do something now." Salamondra said. Celestria agreed with that. They both bust through the door and were ready to face her.

"Look who is here. I suppose it's time I keep my end of the deal with Black Wizard. You won't have a choice but to give me your miraculous with my power." Commanda said.

"Not happening. You're going down." Salamondra said as he was ready for a fight.

"You'll either give it to me willingly or I will order you to. That's assuming you don't care what happens to Mr. Dragneel here." Commanda said. "Zeref, make like a plane and takeoff." Commanda used her powers on him again and he started acting like a plane as he ran right out the room. Salamondra wanted to go after him, but he knows beating Commanda is the only way to save him.

"You're done barking orders." Celestria said as she twirled her whip around.

"I say your whip is useless." Commanda said. Her power also worked on inanimate objects. The beam hit Celestria's whip and it became just the handle. Salamondra tried stopping her as he charged her. He tried swinging his staff around at her, but she was staying out of his reach.

"Come on. Think." Celestria said as she took her celestial item. She tried to think of how she can use it. She spotted salamondra, the crystal ball, and the rope itself. It soon came to her how she can use it. Salamondra tried slamming his staff down at her, but she stepped to the side and slid kicked his legs to knock him down.

"Now, I order you to give me your miraculous." Commanda said. Her crystal ball was about to fire the beam at him, but Celestria was able to lasso it and tossed it in the air before it could fire.

"Salamondra, now!" Celestria called.

"Dragon Fire!" Salamondra held out his hand as he called on his power. He caught the crystal ball and it shattered to pieces upon contact with the eitherious flying out.

"How?! I made your whip useless!" Commanda said.

"True, but I had another rope." Celestria said as she showed the jump rope. "Miraculous Starlight!" She tossed the rope in the air and fixed all the damage. Everyone was free from Commanda's control, Zeref as well. Good timing because he was about to jump off the roof to actually try and fly. It also restored Celestria's whip so she can capture the etherious. "No more evildoing for you, little etherious. Time to de-evilize!" She activated her whip and tossed it with her catching the etherious. "Gotcha! Bye-Bye, little guy." She released the purified etherious and everything was back to normal with Commanda becoming Seilah again.

"Pound it." Both heroes said as they bumped fists.

"I've got to go, but I'll see you later." Salamondra said as he hurried out of there for there was one more placed he needed to be.

...

Dragneel Manner

The day went back to normal after that crazy day. Natsu waited in his room for his brother to return. He heard his door open and saw Zeref came. Zeref walked over and hugged his brother as he was glad he was safe. The two of them might have issues, but Zeref still cares for his brother greatly. When Natsu hugged back, Zeref spotted Natsu's ring. He appeared to be interested in it.

"Natsu, where did you get that ring?" Zeref said.

"This thing?" Natsu said as he acted like it wasn't special. "It's nothing really." Zeref wasn't so sure about that, but he just dicarded the thought.

"Well, I'm just glad you're okay." Zeref said. In the end, things did work out well for him.

...

One Week Later

"You've been where you're needed. No excuses or absences. Nicely done, Lucy." Jude said. It's been a tough week, but Lucy was able to be everywhere she was needed to be, much to her parents' pleasure. "Well, I think it's safe to say you're no longer grounded."

"Thank you." Lucy said.

"You can head over to the studio too. Your friend Gray is competing again, isn't he?" Jude asked.

"Maybe, but I think I rather enjoy the show here." Lucy said as she sat with her parents to watch the show.

"Welcome back to Challenge." Chapti said. "Our returning contestant is Gray Fullbuster. Gray, this time, you will be given a challenge, but you get to choose who will issue the challenge."

"I think I want to go with two people who could put on a real challenge: Celestria and Salamondra." Gray said. When he did say that, Lucy knew she had to get going.

"Oops! I just remembered that I have somewhere else I need to be!" Lucy said as she got moving. It might not be easy being in two places at once, but Celestria and Salamondra are finding ways to make it work.
