Mavis, Zera, and Mirajane's mother set off to the temple of the dragon scale.
And Mirajane left home to find where Elfman and Lisanna had escaped to.
After a few minutes of travel Mavis, Zera, and Mirajane's mother reached the gates of the temple.
As they knocked at the door of the temple, the fog had cleared up and the doors began to open.
Suddenly from the inside of the temple, the sound of a dragon roaring was heard.
Both Mavis and Zera were confused.
Mirajane's mother then says "That is the guardian beast of this temple. Ever since that incident had happened the kind and friendly beast had gone mad and began to kill any person who enters through the gates."
Both Mavis and Zera begin to worry if their presence would enrage the beast even more and could lead to destruction.
Then Mirajane's mother says "We have already come this far. Now is the only chance to think about going back. If you take one more step forward there is no way back home."
Then Mavis replies "We understand, but we have already decided to resolve this problem. So we won't go back until we solve this issue."
The three of them walk further towards the chamber where the dragon scale is kept.
As they went closer they could feel the domineering power of the beast.
Soon they reached the doors of the chamber.
They knocked at its door and entered.
When they entered they saw nothing inside.
They were puzzled.
Suddenly a voice was heard.
And it said "You foolish humans! You have come once again to steal the soul of my masters. How dare you imbeciles come again to seek power!!! Is this how you pay for the sacrifice of my masters!!!"
The three of them were shocked and confused about where the voice was coming from.
Suddenly there was a movement in the ceiling.
It felt as if something was looking at them from the above.
When they looked up they saw a huge dragon.
Mirajane's mother began to tremble in fear.
But when she looked at the faces of both Zera and Mavis, she was shocked.
Those both were as carefree as they were before
They didn't even get scared after looking at the dragon.
It was as if they were looking at an ordinary lizard rather than a mighty dragon.
Then both of them said together "Madam, I think it is best if you could step back a little. I think you might have to wait another 2 min for us to deal with this old lizard."
Mirajane's mother immediately went outside the chamber and stood right next to the open doors.
Mavis then told Zera "Zera, How about we use the new power we just learned."
Zera replies in confidence "Yea, sure."
Both summon two swords.
The dragon then says " Do you think these weak swords can pierce through my dragon scales! How foolish can you both be!!"
Both Zera and Mavis rush forward and cut the dragons into pieces with just one attack.
When they cut through the dragon, The pieces fallen on the ground became a small kid.
And the kid said in shock "How!! How could you cut through my scales!!"
Mavis then replies proudly "These aren't ordinary swords silly. They are dragon-slaying swords we made using our powers. Awesome aren't they."
The kid replies "But even if they are dragon-slaying swords, they cannot cut through my skin until and unless you both are…. The reincarnations of my masters!!!."
"Don't think too much. We are just here to finish our mission. Since we beat you, how about you take us to the dragon scale?" says Zera.
Mirajane's mother is shocked witnessing the power of those two girls.
Looking at how easily they beat the undefeatable guardian beast of this temple, she knew they weren't some ordinary wizards and that there is still hope for the village to be saved.
All three of them follow the dragon into the actual place where the dragon scale is placed.
When they entered they felt magic power was going haywire inside because the seal was damaged.
Then suddenly an explosion occurred when they opened the door of the inner chamber.
Mavis and Zera immediately covered both the kid and Mirajane's mother.
But suddenly a ray of the explosion had escaped and when they looked at where it was heading. It was heading towards Elfman and Lisanna, who had followed them into the temple secretly.
Their mother was shocked and immediately began to run towards them to save them.
Both Elfman and Lisanna immediately froze in fear.
But their mother was too far to save them.
Even at the fastest speed, she can't save them.
Zera and Mavis are blocking the rest of the explosion and couldn't save them.
Suddenly someone else comes and blocks the ray from hitting both of them.
When it struck the person a huge light appeared.
When the light cleared.
They saw the person hit was Mirajane.
As it hit her suddenly the explosion disappeared and the scale was visible to all of them.
All of them ran towards Mirajane.
Her mother began to cry in agony.
She begged Zera and Mavis to save her.
But Both of them looked don't in disappointment.
Then the kid said "There is a way to save her. And only you both can do it. Once you absorb the power of the dragon scale, you can suppress the effect of the demon soul in her body. The current explosion was caused due to the demon soul present in the temple. It immediately took over her body when the impact happened. If you both absorb the power and use it on her, You can make the demon soul in her into her weapon instead and save her from becoming a tool to it."
Both Zera and Mavis agree with the kid as that was the only way to save Mirajane.
When they both touch the scale, suddenly it turns into two orbs.
"Use your spiritual energy to absorb it." said the kid.
Both then listen to the instruction of the dragon and as soon as they finish absorbing.
They feel a huge increase in their power.
Then the dragon says " As I expected. You both really are the twin imperial dragons. Once you absorb this you will be able to recover your true abilities slowly. Now to save the girl you have to enter the spiritual world in her mind and command the demon to make her its master."
The girls then agree to the dragon and follow his instructions.
Soon after the complete procedure was over.
Mirajane began to open her eyes.
All of them were glad she was safe and hugged her tightly.
The mother and children immediately thanked them for their help.
Now the only thing left was saving the rest of the village.
The girls immediately absorbed the power from the surroundings and all the disastrous effects vanished.
It looked as if the village came back to its primes.
All its fertile lands, all came back to its original state like when it was 5 years ago.
After spending some more time with them, Both mavis and Zera bid farewell and set off to the capital after collecting their reward.
On their way, they realized someone was following them.
Zera then immediately said "Who are you? Why are you following us?"
Then that person came in front and that person turned out to be the kid.
The kid then said "Didn't I tell you before you are my master. And also I don't have much power left now, so I need your protection."
Mavis then says " We don't even know your name. And even if we were your masters now you are free to go do what you want. Don't follow us."
Then the dragon replies " My name is Zero. And I was born from the dragon scale's flames. Even before, you wouldn't know my existence but this time since you already absorbed the power of it you have to take care of me as well."
Zera and Mavis Sigh and say " Fine. But remember from now on don't call us master but call us by our names Mavis and Zera, Understand?."
Zero replies in joy " Yay!!"
Then all of them set off to the capital together.
