~Lucy's POV~
The team was standing in front of the ruins of a castle. Even through it seemed very old, most of it was still intact, three tall spirals towered over them, with large walls connecting them.

"Rin's scent is leading inside." Natsu said, he smiled and punched his fists together, flames engulfing them, "I'm all fired up!" He said.

Erza nodded, and she led the team inside, and they started to sneak around, looking for any trace of Rin, when they suddenly heard a loud explosion.

"I thought Erza said to be quiet!" Gray said, turning to look at Natsu.

Natsu looked at him, "It wasn't me!" He said.

"Yeah, it sounded to far away to be Natsu." Happy pointed out.

"But it did sound like it was somewhere in the castle." Lucy said.

"Let's keep going, but be careful." Erza said.

After some time of sneaking, the team spread out in a large room, staring at a tall crystal structure that was in the middle.

"What is this thing?" Gray asked, walking up to it, "It looks almost like a lacrama."

"Don't touch it, it may be dangerous." Erza warned.

"Wait!" Happy exclaimed, flying up to the front of it. "There's someone inside!"

"What?" Lucy asked, "Could it be Rin?"

"No." Happy said, "But she looks like her."

"Could she be Rin's sister?" Natsu asked.

"Maybe." Erza stated, "But Rin nor the mayor mentioned anything about a sister." Erza said.

~Rin's POV~
Rin was standing in front of the door, placing her hand on the handle, she tried to open it, but it was still locked. She let out some magic energy and blasted the door open, a loud explosion coming from the magic. She brushed herself off calmly and started walking towards a large room, the room where the last scene took place.

She heard Erza's voice in the same room she was heading to and she started to hurry, if they were here, they were in trouble, the feeling she got from the cloaked man who kidnapped her was the same as the ones Johan had given her all those years ago. And he was still roaming the castle, meaning he was still a danger.

She walked into the room, seeing the group surrounding a large crystal, she walked up to them without their knowledge and stood behind them she looked at the girl in the crystal, and saw familiar black eyes staring back at her.

"Yuu." She said softly, causing the others to turn around.

"Rin!" Lucy exclaimed, "You're safe!" She wrapped her arms around the small girl, a large smile on her face.

"Rin, do you know this girl?" Erza asked.

Rin looked at her, then at Yuu. "Yeah, her name is Yuu Nightshade, she was the queen of the kingdom around here a long... Long time ago." She said, "And she was my best friend." She managed to pull away from Lucy and walk towards the crystal. Looking to the right of it, she saw dried blood stained on the pale colored carpet, that was her blood. It was strange seeing at it all dried up like this, but the event did happen hundreds of years ago.

Clearing the thought out of her head, she looked back at the crystal, and put her hand on the smooth surface, she closed her eyes and rested her forehead on it. Whispering a spell she thought would help, "Royal Arts; Light of Judgement." Suddenly, it started to glow and Rin took a step back, her eyes widening in shock as the crystal started to disappear into this air.

Soon, Yuu was laying on the ground, crouching and gasping in air.

Rin just stood there, her eyes starting to water. She ran up to her, smiling widely, "Yuu! I've missed you so much!" She said.

"Rin?" She asked, "What time is it?"

Rin smiled softly, "It's been a long time." She said quietly.

Yuu sat up and rubbed her eyes, just as if she were waking up from a night's rest. She saw the others standing behind Rin, and she jumped up. "Who are you?" She asked, her voice guarded.

Rin stood up slowly. "Don't worry Yuu." She said, placing a hand on her shoulder. "These are my friends."

"Let us introduce ourselves." Erza said. "My name is Erza Scarlet." She said. "I'm a requip Mage." She said.

"I'm Natsu!" Natsu exclaimed, "A Fire Dragon Slayer!"

"A Dragon slayer?" Yuu asked, looking at Rin.

"A dragon slayer is a human who was taught magic by a dragon." Rin explained, "Apparently they disappeared a while back."

"Even Igneel?" Yuu asked, looking at Rin.

"Wait, you knew Igneel?" Natsu asked, looking at Yuu, with interest in his gaze.

"Well of course." Yuu said, "I had to talk to some dragon to make a peace treaty tweet their kind and ours. He was nice... Sort of. How do you know him?"

"He was my dad." Natsu said. "He taught me everything I know."

"Interesting." Yuu muttered.

"Anyways, I'm Lucy, a celestial mage." Lucy said.

"I'm Gray, an ice mage." He said.

"And I'm Happy!" Happy exclaimed, smiling widely and flying up to her, his wings expanded.

"A blue talking cat." Yuu said, "With wings too." She shook head head to clear a thought, then she smiled, "My name is Yuu Lightshade, I'm a shadow mage." She said.

"Yuu and I go way back, but we can talk more once we get back to the guild hall." Rin said.

"You're not going anywhere." A man said, Rin tuned around to see the cloaked figure, and watched as he placed down the hood, and reviled the striking image of Johan. "It's been a while, your majesty." He said, a sly smile on his face.
