After Erza's death a spark containing her life Essence was left behind. The spark is formed when a person with a strong will to live merges their core and soul together leaving behind an Essence which can be used to resurrect the dead person within a period of two days. Although one can resurrect with their spark, they require an external factor to resurrect. These external factors must be able to manipulate either fate,time, reality or Causality as these beings are able to interfere, change and manipulate the laws of the universe.
Due to Helen's ability to manipulate fate she changed Erza's fate and resurrected her back to life by sacrificing half of her power. After resurrecting her daughter, she proceeded to heal Erza's friends and restore the entire Realm back to it's original state. Noct shared a brief moment of sorrow with Erza. With the Realm restored and everything back to its original state, Noct proceeded to confront The Queen.
At the Throne Room
Noct:I know I have been wrong about lots of things and am sorry for whatever I Said to you.
Helen:Is that all what you came here to say? Aren't you here looking for answers.
Noct:You are right. I want you to tell me everything you know.
Helen:Then how about the part were you are a fake and just a clone of your original self. To be honest you are more of a fake than I am. Pretending to be a human, limiting your power. Your friends don't know about that am I wrong.
Everyone turned to look at Noct with disbelief. They felt betrayed that Noct wasn't able to trust them enough to tell them their origin but at the same time they thought that maybe he had his reasons.
Noct informed the Queen that he had his reasons for not revealing the whole truth to his friends as he couldn't.
Helen:Hm then I won't ask any further. let me just keep it short. The man underneath that prison was my husband and also Erza's father.
This new information shocked Erza greatly as she couldn't believe what she just heard.
Erza:How is this possible? Weren't you the one that banned males from entering this Realm?How is this possible?
Helen: You are right every Witch in this Realm was created by me but you were an exception. You are a product of an intimacy I had with the person I loved the most in this world. Your father was extremely strong,wise, courageous, brave, a powerful leader and also the greatest man I ever knew. That guy that came and took the body of your father is your uncle.
Erza (shocked):What My Uncle! Who exactly are those people and how did my father die.
Helen:When the time comes you will know the truth and it will be up to you to decide whether to join them or not. Last time I wasn't able to protect those I love and because of that I lost everything and became empty but you changed that Erza you were my spark. Never let go of those important to you and this advice goes to you guys as well.
Erza:Even though I want to know the truth I will wait till am ready. Also thanks for the advice.
All:Thank you very much Mam.
The Queen smiled at them.
Derek turned and whispered to Erza informing her that the mother is very beautiful so she should try pairing both of them. Before Derek could complete his sentence,Erza knocked the lights out of him.
Noct asked Erza if they are going to leave the Spirit Realm to which Erza replied that she has decided to stay here and learn everything from her mother to which the rest of the group decided to respect her decision.
After packing all their belongings, Shinsui informed them about a decision he has taken.
Shinsui decided to remain in the realm and train his anima abilities. This sudden information shocked everyone. They tried to talk him out of it but Sasuke told them to respect Shinsui's decision and leave him alone.
At the transport gate.
Noct:I wish you all the best on your training Erza!Shinsui.
Shinsui: Thank you Noct. After am done here am going to become more powerful than you and Sasuke.
Saskue:Dream on. Hey Erza hurry up and return to us.
Erza:Okay pretty boy.
The group share a brief moment of emotions before walking through the gate and returning to their original realm.
The gate brought the group straight to their Headquarters where they encountered Chrollo waiting for their return.
Chrollo:Did you get what you wanted?
Noct:Well we really didn't get any stronger than we are but Erza and Shinsui remained there.
Chrollo:I already knew about that. Wash up and go report whatever happened to the King.
Sasuke:How did you know about what happened there.
Chrollo: I do no answer to people below me. Just hurry up and do as I say.
Sasuke felt a bit suspicious of Chrollo but the rest shrugged it off and went straight to their rooms. Due to Exhaustion the slept for an entire day.
The next day, Sasuke went to deliver his report to the king.
King: Arvitha and the soul stone huh! Interesting.
Sasuke:Do you know anything about that Arvitha guy and the soul stone.
King:Hmm I can't talk much about Arvitha but I can tell you about the soul stone if you want.
Sasuke:Okay my Lord.
King:The soul stone is one of the most powerful artifact in the universe. Able to ignore the rules created by the supreme being defying the concept of life and death. Let's just put it like this once you die your soul goes to the great flow were it will be reincarnated later but not every soul is able to make it there.
Sasuke(puzzled):What do you mean my Lord?
To be able to return to the great flow one must have lived a very good and great life. For example if a person dies in sin his soul is sent to the underworld unable to return to the great flow but if one lives a very great,good and memorable life their souls are able to return to the great flow. That is where the soul stone comes in. It has the power to break these rules and interfere with the great flow. With this stone one would be able to create and bestow a soul into a body thereby creating life, Manipulate all sorts of souls including gods thereby,steal a person's soul and gain their power and knowledge but the most powerful ability of this stone is the one that allows a person to steal any soul from the underworld or the great flow bestowing it into any body. Also one could gain permanent reincarnation and control of the body they took control of.
After hearing this information Sasuke immediately understood what is at stake.
Sasuke:That means if they get their hands on the stone they will be able to restore their souls completely but from the looks of things it seems that guy wanted to specifically bring back his brother that means....
King:You get it now. Bringing back his brother could bring the end of everything.
Sasuke Reincarnation! Taking control of the body of humans! Killing each and every one of us. This could only mean one thing those guys are...
Even though Sasuke had figured out who those guys were he was unable to pronounce their name the same was with the King.
At the Witch Realm Shinsui was training in Spirit magic. This allowed his anima abilities to increase significantly allowing him to even control and tame spirits. Erza was also training personally with the Queen. Although the Queen was using the dark side Erza was learning how to balance both the light and the dark side. By balancing the power of light and dark and completely understanding it one could reach the power of gods. Even though Erza was a genius even she was struggling to balance the two sides.
The King ordered the summoning of Chrollo,Jin Lionheart, Rebecca Scarlet, Leo Targaryean, Noct,the twins,Arthur Lionheart, Derek,Roy,Lucy,Sasuke Zenith, Methupi,Harald,Hanami, Han Lee, Sigi Greenball, Elizabeth Skyfall. Due to how dangerous the mission will be the King called for the most powerful Knights in the kingdom. This was a mission that will determine the fate of the entire Human race,the world and every Realm. Their mission was to retrieve the Soul stone and prevent it from falling into the hands of the Gyousei. Rebecca was put in charge of the mission with Jin being her assistant.
After this announcement some of them decided to train, others visit their loved ones as they knew they might not survive.
At an unknown Realm. The members of the Gyousei had gathered to hear the message of their Leader.
Athanir:I have finally recovered the body of my brother our leader. And even though I want to help ressurect him and commence our plan,there are still others who wish to stop us. That's why we must stop them and revive my brother. I won't force you into this battle but if any of you will like to volunteer step forward.
Man 1: I will
Man 2: Me too
Many people started stepping forward to assist Athanir.
Everything is going according to plan said Athanir in his thoughts. I shall select the strongest amongst all of you and together we shall bring back my brother and take over what was rightfully ours.
Everyone present there started chanting, screaming and giving praises to Athanir.
After one week all the preparation had been made and the group was finally ready to embark on their mission. Before they were about to leave Rebecca gave a speech which boosted the morale of the young knights.
Rebecca:I cannot guarantee that any of you will survive but what I can guarantee is that if we are able to win this and retrieve that stone we will be saving millions of lives. If you won't do this for yourself do this for others. Think about your family,your friends do this for them. This Battle might be the catalyst for something bigger but if we are able to win this that would be a great feat. Now then are you ready?
All:Yes!Yes!
Rebecca:Then let's move on.
All the Knights moved through the portal connecting to Soul Realm/The Realm of no Return.
At the Soul Realm.
Yasuke:You guys came earlier than expected.
Rebecca:So did you guys.
Yasuke (Laughs): Well then Let the battle begin.
Moments Before the Gyousei came to the Soul Realm.
Athanir:Yasuke I want you to lead this expedition.
Yasuke:Why is that? I thought you will be leading us.
Athanir:I have other plans. Can I trust you on this.
Yasuke:Yes my Liege.
Good Said Athanir as he left the Unknown Realm.
