Leaning on her elbow on the side, Rae listened to Gajeel explaining the whereabouts of Veronica with a blank face. She wondered if Master Makarov could actually comply what she had asked him. Though it sounded crazy but they had no choice.

The girl wasn't worried because she could erase the Magic Council memories anytime. Her concern was how he will do it. As usual, Natsu was having trouble with his motion sickness and Rae healed it in a second.

Bella sat with Momon on Haruka's lap with the bright pink haired girl caressed the yellow bird gently on the head to ease his worry. Eclair will be fine. Rae will make sure of that. She had made a promise to her sister to save Eclair and she would never let it broken.

The brown beauty moved her head and looked at Lucy who was biting her nails anxiously. "Nothing is going to happen to her, Lucy."

The blonde girl lifted her head with a small smile and nodded. A hand touched hers and Lucy found herself calming down as Haruka smiled cutely at her. Momon kicked his legs and looked at the wizard saint with hope in his eyes. The bird asked her if she will save his friend.

Rae lifted an eyebrow at the question and patted him softly. She assured him once again that nothing will happen to his friend. They were all there with him. To save Eclair. In two shakes of a lamb's tail, they had reached Veronica. Rae stared at the small city with clenched fists.

Without wasting any time, the Dark Enchantress teleported all of them to the gate of the city. Gray and Natsu quickly ambushed the guards and destroyed the gate. Haruka and Bella sent hits to whoever block their way while the young girl held Momon in her arms.

Putting the guards to sleep with one blow, Rae notified her friends to part their ways. "Lucy, Haruka, Wendy stay with me!"

Rae pulled Wendy's hand and kicked a man who was about to grab the young girl. She ducked her head and summoned her spear to slash all of them. Haruka threw her acid flood and followed her mother while Bella and Carla protected Momon.

Lucy called out for Virgo and the spirit quickly made a lot of holes on the ground. Rae widened her eyes and accidentally let out a girlish squeal as she fell into the hole.

"Virgo! That's onee-san!"

"I'm sorry, princess. Can I ask for a punishment?"

Lucy let out a hopeless sigh and went to help her sister up. That's when she realized that they were surrounded by Royal Army. Or at least, that's what she thought. Then, a loud grumbling sound came from underground.

She witnessed her sister flew up and knocked out the army with lava. Rae snapped her head to the right as she sensed something. Her hands moved and created a shadow shield to resist the attack. Her eyes caught a fast moving figure. That's him.

The one who attacked Lucy and Eclair back at the hotel.

Lucy hugged her arms around Haruka as she tried to dodge thrown knives at her direction. The celestial spirit mage used her whip to slap the knives away from them. Rae smirked to herself as she watched him moving in shadow.

Thrusting her hand forward, the Dark Enchantress threw shadows vine and grabbed his shadow. Wendy opened her mouth and shot him a Sky Dragon's Roar. The man freed himself in time and moved to Rae. He wrapped his arm around her neck and tried to choke her, causing the brown haired girl to get angry.

Rae grabbed his arm and flipped him, slamming the hooded guy on the ground. Channeling her Ground Magic, she crashed him with rocks and boulders, knocking him out. The girl turned around and felt a great surge of energy ahead. The Phoenix Stone!
