⭐️Flashback⭐️

Luna decided to fly back to Layla after seeing enough of Natsu and Frost's battle to the death. Layla was still sobbing on her daughter's lifeless body. She couldn't take it anymore. No one can, but there was nothing that can change the this disastrous situation.

Then, it hit her. She remembered reading it from one of the many books that can be found at the Heartfilia household. It was just an accident that she actually found that book, but it can definitely change everything that has happened today. However, the thing she was about to do comes with a price.

Luna glanced at Lucy once more, but quickly turned away soon after. She just wanted to break down every time she saw Lucy's body. No more. Luna just couldn't stand around and do nothing. Although she knew all of the consequences, Luna was willing to bear all of them to see her smile again.

⭐️End of Flashback⭐️

Luna hovered right above Lucy's body. She took one last look at the lifeless girl and sighed. At least she got a chance to see her before all of this happened. Luna closed her eyes and took a moment of silence.

"Thank you..." Luna whispered quietly to herself and brought her hands together. When she did that, a huge circle of light surrounded both Luna and Lucy.

The sudden brightness caught the attention of Natsu and Happy. Once they realized who was contained within the circle, they rushed over there as fast as they can, brushing off all of the pain in between. Both of them were heavily panting when they got there.

"What are you...doing...Luna?" asked Happy with a few quick breathers in between.

Luna didn't answer. All she did was whispered a few words to herself. It was so soft that it could not be heard by Happy's ordinary cat ears, but it can be heard by Natsu's sensitive dragon ears.

"Heavenly Stars that scatter throughout the Galaxy and beyond, please...in exchange for this old star's life, bring back this fallen star and lift it back up to the night sky, where it shall shine its light once again; for now and forever."

"Luna! No!" Natsu screamed as he tried to stop her spell, but even a slight contact with the circle of light and he was immediately pushed back. It was as strong and impenetrable as Luna's celestial barriers.

"Luna!" Happy desperately called out to the star as he got the gist of what she was doing. "You can't go through with this! I won't let you!" Happy charged into the light, but he met the same fate as Natsu.

"Celestial Healing: Rebirth!"

The circle of light expanded and everything went white. When Natsu and Happy regained their eye sight, they looked up and saw Luna's body glowing in the same lights as a celestial spirit as they disappear into the celestial spirit world. This was different though. She was going to disappear for good.

Luna smiled and hovered around them one last time. "Thank you for everything Natsu, Happy. Please take care of Lucy for me." Then, she faded into the night sky.

"Luna!!!" Natsu and Happy called out her name for the final time before finally breaking down into tears.
