Welcome to Gaia! ::

Girls are headin to the mansion, although they didn't know they have been watched, but Hikari sense someone with familiar light and about to turn around, Wendy grab her hand and pull her in the mansion, "Meep!" she cried quietly and three female wizards and white cat enter the bathroom to get change. Few minutes later, Hikari walked out with lavender strapless dress with upper arm sleeve, and look at the mirror to gather her really long hair with Carla's help. Lucy walked out with her dress from her family, and bun for a perfect touch. Wendy walked out in cute appearance. Girls begin to huddle for a plan, "Alright girls, all we have to do is act natural and cool, the kidnapper will attend to look out for a girl he's planning to kidnap," she told them quietly, Wendy adds the plan, "I will hide and keep an eye on suspicious guest, while you girls dance with any guys," she told them very stern. Hikari just nodded, but felt bit concern about someone watching her, she have to shake this feelings out, "Ha... Hai," she agreed, "I will do my best," said Wendy with confidence smile, they smile at each other and break the huddle. Hikari, Wendy and Lucy walked out of the room and enter the ball dance, while Carla hide in one pillar to keep an eye on suspicious guest. Three wizards walk around, but only Lucy and Wendy got their partner, it leave Hikari alone as she continue to walking around for any sight of suspicious people.

While Lucy and Wendy dance with unknown strangers, Hikari felt her hand got touched and turned around to see the man with a mask kissing her wrist, very mysterious to her, but she blush so big and trying so hard not to make any scene. Later on he took her to dance floor to dance with her, similar to Cantarella from Vocaloid, she kept her mind racing, "Calm down Hikari-chan, act natural," she thought very panic because it's been a while for her dancing with someone, but every step she dance with him, she begin to feel something familiar about mysterious mask man. She didn't see his grin, but keep an eye on every guests.
Carla keep her watchful eyes on every guest, but when she lay eyes on masked man dancing with Hikari, then notice the devilish grin on his face, it suspected her. However, she notice Lucy and Wendy saw Hikari dancing with mask man, thinking he's the bandit. Those three give each other a nod, Sky Maiden and Stellar Mage head towards where Hikari and Mask Man danced. Hikari, however, notice one man taking a woman somewhere, so she secretly sending small sprite spirit to follow them.

She never lay her blue eyes off the suspicious guest, until she heard the familiar voice that nearly jolted her and silently gasp. Wendy and Carla, by their enhanced hearing, completely shock to hear, Lucy stopped and look at Wendy in serious expression, "Wendy, what's wrong?" she ask her in bit of worry. Wendy couldn't lay her eyes off of Hikari and Mask Man, "This man... This man knew her name, and he will be... menaced by Yami-san," she said in terrified, remembering back in Twilight Town, leaving Lucy and Carla gasp. Hikari, in other hand, grew something suspicious about Mask Man by looking athim. She slowly reach her hand to his mask, "How did you-" she about to ask, but girls heard a scream, they turn their head and saw a bandit carrying two women and make a run for it. Carla use Max Speed to stop the bandit, "Lucy! Wendy! Hikari! We have to follow him!" she shouts to gather three Fairy Tail Wizards. "Okay," they replied, Lucy and Wendy begin to follow Carla and Bandit, while Hikari look at Mask Man with apologized look, "I'm so sorry to leave, but I have a job to do," she apologize to him and left the party to join with her friends.
From the outside of the mansion, Carla caught infront of the bandit, "End of the line, buster! Let those girls go!" she shout at him in stern look, the bandit step back and turn around, but Wendy, Lucy and Hikari blocked the path. Lucy pulled out her Gate of the Heavenly Scale Key, Wendy is taking a stance, and Hikari summon Oathkeeper to take Aqua Stance. Bandit drop the unconscious ladies and begin to cast magic to attack them, "Hikari-chan! Wendy! Keep him busy, I have to summon Libra," she told them as she start her wish for contract chanting magic, Hikari and Wendy look at each other and start charging towards him. Hikari quickly use her own Heavenly Magic that her keyblade combine with light and wind, showing her pure white magical alchemy on her keyblade tip, "Heaven Holy Rise!" she cast her magic to doubled up her elements to burst up the light and wind. Wendy begin to use her Sky Dragon Slayer, "Sky Dragon's Crushing Fang!" she cast her Sky Magic by swiping her both hands hands in a whirlwind and strikes the target with her. Watching the bandit hit and flew up, Lucy got a chance by pointing her gate key to the sky to make it glow, "Open! The Gate of the Heavenly-Scales! Libra!" she summon the one of Zodiac, Libra. Libra look at Lucy with well respected eyes, "What can I do for you, Master?" she ask her very respected, but Lucy doesn't have time to make a contract to Heavenly-Scales, she need her help, "C-C-Can we do the contract later Libra, and can you use your magic to knock this bandit out please," she told her in panic and pointing at the flying bandit, Libra look at the bandit, "Very well, Gravity Change!" she cast the gravity change to knock the bandit in very high speed heavy gravity. After the Bandit is knocked out, Carla walk by and poke his head, she look at girls very proud, "He's out," she told them, leaving Hikari, Wendy, and Lucy, who took Libra's hand cheered in joy. Libra figured out Lucy isn't a person who viewed her as a tool, "Master, how about the contract," she asked her, but Lucy look at her, "Call me Lucy, I won't treat you like any other Celestial Spirit Mage view you as a tool or shield, but let's get started," she told her and they started to have a contract. Hikari and Wendy look at each other and gave each other a smile, until she remember about Mask Man said her name. She felt like she knew him somewhere, but where

After Lucy got the contract with Libra, the wealthy man came by with the rune guards, which those girls feel something infecting them, they didn't know it's madness. After they arrest the bandit and Libra disappear in golden light after Lucy farewell to her, the girls woken up and return to the dance ball. He handed out the reward to Lucy, and split the Jewels to Wendy and Hikari. However, Hikari is still questioning herself about Mask Man, she knew that's not Yami because he doesn't have darkness, but light. Lucy and Wendy are heading back to Dance Ball, while she and Carla stayed. Carla look at Hikari in worry, "Still thinking about that mask guy told you, and how does he know your name? We know that's not Yami, he doesn't have white hair," she ask her emotionless, she look at white cat in concern and she follow Lucy and Wendy along with white exceed, "Yes, but I feel like I known this person, and way he move," she replied to her quietly, imagining if that's Yami, she will be happy to dance with him. "That can't be him, I mean he's older then me and Yami-kun," she thought about Kami age appearance because he is a lot older then her, she remember he and Yami usually call her "Hikari-chan", then the mask man called her "Princess". She kept her thought about what he said before she left to chase after the bandit, she blush really big about him calling her "princess". Hikari and Carla enter the party, Lucy and Wendy seems to looking for someone, so they walk towards them, "Lucy-chan, Wendy-chan, who are you looking for?" she ask her friends very curious, Lucy look at the princess, "Remember that mask man dance with you, he's not here," said the stellar mage to her very anxious, Wendy is using her enhanced hearing to locate his voice, but no approval, "I think he left, but do you guys think he's working with Xehanort," she told them in worry, knowing Hikari is one of princess, thinking the mask man might be with Xehanort. This really leave three Fairy Tail wizards gasp and stunned, Lucy act quick as she take Hikari to the room to get change, Wendy and Carla followed, only Carla speaks up, "Lucy! What are you going?" she ask her in stunned look, while Lucy handed Hikari her black dress and send her to the bathroom, she look at white cat very serious, "We have to go and keep Hikari-chan safe, he might be either working with Xehanort or stalking her, he's going to pay," she replied to Carla, Hikari walk out of the bathroom in original dress, but didn't tie her hair, so she keep her hair reach to her thigh. However Carla saw Yami's black coat and hand it to her, "Keep your hoodie up to cover your face, Rhyannon," she told her very stern, she respond by wearing the black jacket and cover her face by the hood. Wendy keep a look out for mask man, "All clear," she signaled quietly, girls nodded and quietly head outside of mansion, Wendy grab Carla, girls start to run to the train station. Hikari look back and wondering if that's Kami dancing with her, but she sense the familiar darkness, she widen her blue eyes, her friend came back to Magnolia, thinking he's waiting for her.

By the time the illusion knife struck in front of Fairy Tail Wizards, they nearly scream. Carla and Hikari are looking for the owner, but no approval, only Hikari begin to worry, "Who... Who could have done that?" she ask herself, suspecting about the mask man she danced with. Lucy and Wendy notice the note attached and notice it's from Hikari, Lucy quickly look at princess, "Hikari-chan, there is a note from you," she called out and brought her attention by turn around to notice the illusion knife. Hikari walk by and took a note to read the message, it nearly shock her, "That might be the mask man, but he wants me to go alone," she told them in worry, leaving three girls shock in surprise. Wendy speak out to her, "Is that okay for you, we don't know if he's working with Xehanort or-" "I will deal with mask man, while you girls go back to Magnolia..." she cut Sky Maiden off by cry in protest, leaving them in stunned. Hikari realized what is she doing and giving them a sad apologizing look, "Sumimasen, but he's not Xehanort. I have to figure out myself, I don't know how strong he really is, but I will be alright. Please trust me," she told them in sadness, then change her mood to sad smile. Lucy, take a thought of her as complete similar to Aries, and Wendy listens to her, they begin to understand by nodding, "Hikari-san, please do you best," said Wendy with encouraging smile, Lucy gave her a thumbs up, "We will tell Yami about your absence," she promise her, it leaves Hikari joyful smile. Carla didn't say anything, but smiles at her, "Good luck," she said simply, then three Fairy Tail wizards rush to the train station and leaves to Magnolia.
Hikari stood still and glance at illusion knife until it vanish, she summoned Blade of the Darkness and hide it under her black coat. She brought her encouraging empression on her face, "Yami-kun, you brought me a strength, this time it's my turn to fight. Kami-kun, you do taught me well how to fight, but that guy has similar movement from dance," she thought and rush to the train station to buy the ticket, then head to train before it depart to Tully Village.
