U: But... Lucy... How could you say... (His shadow mellows down and he notices her skin and veins. Her hair from behind was dark brown turns black and the red moon crest appears on her head. Her iris because galaxy)

Arabella: (Notices Lucy is about to activate her powers and feels the evil aura on the box clutching and hanging on by a thread to Lucy's necromancy.)

'Merlin! Put a ward around Mr. U! I'm going in!'

(Then she runs into the fray and races behind Lucy, to take a hold of the box to make a stronger incantation that will hold true this time.)

(Merlin hears what Arabella said and chanted)

Merlin: Oh god of light hear my plead and surround us in your light!

Merlin: Mister U, stay behind me!

(Lucy glances at Arabella and holds her still as if she was paralyzed.)

Lucy: - voice changes- You... Arabella from world 23345 omega. Human, student ... Veterinarian. Two weeks in and you believe you have the power ... - coughs- to... - coughs-

(The wall appears, and she waves her hand softly and the wall shatters like glass.)

Lucy: Oh my.... Miss Merlin...

Arabella: (Tries to struggle, thinks up the few ward spells and counter spells she knows off, but nothing will be able to counter something as powerful as this.)

"Why can't I help the ones I love?! This cannot happen again!"

U: Lucy!!!

(Lucy flicks her finger and U turns solid, he feels instantly vulnerable and stands back)

Lucy: What now old man? - giggles-

Merlin: This can't be!? You are alive?!

(Merlin stands astonished by the voice. She turns to Arabella)

Merlin: Arabella, stand far away from her! That is not the person you once knew!

(She bites her index finger and passed it on her forehead.)

Merlin: After so many years, I will have to use it...

Arabella: (Tries to project her voice through the projection seals in the room.)

"I cannot go anywhere, exactly. I'm pretty stuck."

U: Who is it? In my little girl?

Lucy: Oh no no no Merlin...

(Lucy's little body drops to the floor and Arabella is free. The box unlocks itself and within the chamber of the spell smoke gets trapped inside of it and a palm appears. It dissipates and the figure is revealed.)

Manifest: Mani...fest!!

Arabella: (Drops to the floor unceremoniously, like a bag of decrepit knives.)

(Still struggling for breath, she cannot get up or talk.)

(Merlin makes a dual summoning)

Merlin: Come forth and hear my plead: Liones, Bard!

(A fire lion and a three-eye eagle appeared)

Liones: Master Merlin, so much time has passed since you called me.

Bard: Master Merlin, what may I do for you?

Merlin: We will talk later! I need your support for this situation. Bard, channel my magic, Liones, support and strength.

Both: Yes, Master!

Merlin: Release restriction level three!!!

(The room was filled with a dark, ominous aura. Merlin became fully cloaked in it; the only thing visible was her eyes that turned red.)

Liones: Restriction...level 3?!

Bard: This must be something catastrophic.

Liones: On guard Bard! We cannot let anything happen to the Miss!

Bard: Don't fail Liones!

(Manifest shakes her head in disbelief and smiles)

Manifest: Oh dear, why must you over exaggerate. We need to talk.

(She removes her mask, a bright light shines everyone and they are moved into a blank space where everyone is present except for the summoning and all magic is nonexistent)

Manifest: Now that everything calmed down. Yes, I'm Manifest. - flaps her wings and stretches-

Merlin (in her head): Should I unrestraint to level 1? No, that will be a bad choice and would harm all of them. I should prepare accordingly.

Merlin: I'm listening. What do you want?

Manifest: what do I want? - giggles- I was just awoken from my eternal slumber... If I'm up that only means that the chosen one found me and blah blah blah... Come on Merlin, you know how we ancients are. You know our agenda. Or did abandoning your cult... Abandoning us, erased your memory. You've been trying your hardest to not allow us to be awaken. But there are so many of us and one of you.

U: Merlin? What are you?

(Manifest floats around U, brushing his head with her wing)

Manifest: We are ancients, the strongest or wises of Mages way back when civilizations were being politically segregated. Before the dark war we set only the best to slumber in these. - she shows her gem- The weaker ones, left to live the horrific world of that time and soon meet death down memory lane.

U: ... And - nervous- Merlin?

Manifest: She, is an ancient who should've slept. The special thing about - with an annoying sass- slumber ... Gosh... My luck. - normal echoed voice- Is that when we wake up, that is because our special one found us. We become bonded by soul and only death can separate us. - looks at Lucy's body- Soo ... Yea... - looks at Merlin- I'm no harm to you or anyone unless this little one agrees to it. My power is hers and vice versa. Her heart ... Is too good for my evil, soooo ... I must submit and be different than my brother.

(Merlin calms down and closes her eyes)

Merlin: I can sense that your brother was found too, far away. This will be troublesome to us, as the prophecy is beginning. I just ask that you not harm or influence the little being over there. (She points to Lucy.)

Merlin: Also, don't include me with you lot.

(She slowly returns to her normal self)

Arabella: "Well........that was rather convenient....."

Merlin: Let's go back to the normal world.

(She raises her hands and shouts "Dispel". They returned to the normal world and Merlin falls to the floor and begins to cough blood)

Liones: MASTER!!!

Merlin: I'm ok Liones, that's the price one most pay to use this kind of magic.

(Manifest passes her hand across the Chamber and all the layers seal, returning to Arabella as energy. She takes a deep breath and blows a white smoke that directs itself into Lucy's body, waking her up. Lucy struggles to stand and decides to roll onto her butt. U's form turns into shadowy mist and he proceeds to Lucy's aid. Manifest lands gently onto the floor and wraps her wings around herself making it look like a cloak.)

Lucy: aaarrg... My heaaaaad... Papa... It hurts. When... Did we get home?

U: Don't worry, you'll feel better soon my little girl. By any chance... do you remember anything?

Lucy: I just remember showing you and Arabella the box in town after the Lancers gave it to me, then now. What happened?

(Lucy looks to the far end of the room and sees Manifest)

Lucy: Who is she? New friend? She looks - her head aches- ooww... Hii... You look awesome. I'm Lucy.

Manifest: -giggles- Hello Lucy, I'm Manif... - in her head- " Oh dear... Poor child... Poor me." ... I'm Marie, pleasure to meet you...

(Merlin kept coughing up blood)

Bard: This is not good Merlin.

(She tries to stand)

Merlin: You know the drawbacks of using this high tier magic.

Bard: Just how strong is that creature?!

Merlin: Same as me...or even more...

(She stands and regain her composure.)

Merlin: Liones, you can return now.

Liones: Are you sure, my lady?

Merlin: Yes.

(Liones vanishes in the air.)

Merlin: Bard, make the preparations.

Bard: So soon? It has begun?

Merlin (with a serious face): Yes.

Bard: Your wish is my command.

(He bows his head and vanishes too)

Merlin (turns to Manifest): I will take my leave. I expect that you maintain your word.

(She exits the room. Merlin stands outside. Tears rolled down her checks like fountains. She closes her eyes for a moment, then she called a small bird and transported herself to where Joss and the rest was.)
