a month has passed since that confrontation with Molag Bal... Lucy has recovered though spending several weeks afterward refusing to speak. You finally get her to open up enough to tell you about the woman who led her to make such a contract with a Daedric Prince.
Naturally you wanted (at least the Zeref part of you wanted) to find this woman and give her a piece of your mind (if not a foot in her ass)… Which leads you to a small unknown patch of desert in the American Southwest where the white-clad priestess is preaching to a group of nature loving travelers.
(I admit this might require some talking to yourself at first, but I'll try and find something for you both to interact with quickly.)

Lacus and Aurora
"Looks like I finally caught up with you", Lacus said fiercely as she walked straight up to the priestess. "I sense it... the power you wield. YOU were the one who harmed my friend!" she let out angrily.
"Your... friend?" the beauteous priestess said, troubled, as she recoiled in front of the aggressive, unknown woman. "...Please... let's talk about this. I assure you, that if I indeed brought harm to your friend, it was quite unintentional..." she said apologetically, raising her hands as she pleaded for a peaceful resolution.
"Unintentional?" Lacus said, frowning. "You helped her make a deal with an abomination which in turn transformed her into a monster with the intent of stealing her soul down the line! That's pretty intentional to me!"

One of the followers, an elderly man sweiftly gets between you. "Please, there is no need to be hostile here Missy. I'm sure whatever harm came to your friend it was far from malicious on Lady Aurora's part... She has done nothing but preach words of love and acceptance while helping us in need."

Lacus and Aurora
"Then it was malicious on the part of the being she put her in contact with, which, by the way, is still her fault", Lacus replied dryly.
"I swear, I wished nothing but the best for your friend", Aurora insisted, nodding. "I failed to foresee the misfortune that would befall your friend, and for that I am deeply sorry."
The pinkette couldn't help but glare at the priestess, quite displeased nonetheless. "...Hmm. Fine... just stay away from her and try to 'foresee' better before trying to help people by putting them in contact with dangerous beings."
"I will. I promise."

Then Aurora catches something in her view coming up behind Lacus… a 6 foot walking cactus man.

Lacus and Aurora
"Huh...? What is this creature?" the preistess let out, blinking.
"What creature?" Lacus asked, raising an eyebrow as she turned around to face the cactus man in question. "...Um... hello?" she let out.

"Die!" The cactus said shooting a series of needles into both of you. (OOC: Aurora loses 1w or 2r)

Lacus and Aurora
"K-Kyaaah!" Aurora cried out, recoiling from the attack.
"...Tch... who would have thought I would end up having to protect you, of all people", Lacus let out, sighing. "Stand back!" she requested, firing a series of small ki blasts at the cactus creature!
"No... we shall stand together", the priestess responded, pulling out her dagger. "I will prove my honor to you", she said in all honesty. "This monster stands no chance against our combined might!" Lacus 24 (Ef) in Ki Control (Ki Blast), halved for not taking a panel of prep time, into a 12 stones blast VS the cactus being.
6 in Agility to shield Aurora with my superhumanly resilient body. (Total ph.defense: 33; 20 when taking hits for Aurora.)
Aurora H: 5/5 P.L: 4/5 4 in Hero's Bearing to boost Lacus' Close Combat whenever she's ready to use it.
6 (Ef.) in Close Combat +1 from her dagger into defense. (Total ph.defense: 11)

You blast the Cactus blowing it to pieces leaving only chunks of wet pulp.
Just as a dozen more Cactus-men grow out of the desert floor!

Lacus and Aurora
"More of them", Lacus warned.
"You should escape while you can. We will prevail... but protecting you all while we fight those beings will be difficult", Aurora suggested her followers. "...Save yourselves. The Divines protect you all!"
"Less preaching, more fighting", the pinkette requested as she held up her hand towards the Cactus men. "BLIZZARA!" she let out, unleashing a large blast of ice at their enemies!
"I'm on it", Aurora replied, calling upon the power of Namira to engulf one of the cactus-men in a swarm of insects! Lacus
16 (Ef) into Mastery of Magic (FF Magic, Ice), into a 13 stones blast of Ice VS as many of the Cactus-Men I can catch in an Area effect blast with 3 stones used for that effect.
Total Ph.defense: 35 Aurora
13 (Ef) in Decay (Swarm) as an Atk VS Dur+Toughness dealing normal damage against one of the Cactus men, to make hundreds of vermin crawl onto one of them and bite countless chunks away from it.
9 (Ef.) in Close Combat +1 from my dagger into defense. (Total ph.defense: 14)

You easily freeze and devour the rest of the horde.

Lacus and Aurora
Lacus paused, scratching her hair. "Well, that was certainly easier than I suspected. Any idea why those creatures attacked us?"
The priestess shrugged. "Sometimes, the Divines work in mysterious ways. They have yet to bless me with this knowledge."
Lacus sighed, shaking her head. "...Wow. Okay. You really are as faithful a believer as one gets, huh."
Aurora nodded, smiling. "...Of course. With all the gifts I've been bestowed with, I'd have to be completely unconscious to not recognize their brilliance, let alone their existence."

Just then you both spot something flying away... a large Bell-shaped Aircraft.

Lacus and Aurora
"How curious... could it be that whoever is up there is responsible?" she wondered out loud, about to go after them.
"Allow me to accompany you", Aurora said, manifesting wings of light with a short prayer to Meridia.
"Are you sure? This could be dangerous", Lacus pointed out as she took to the skies after the airship.
"The Divines will protect me", Aurora said simply as she went along.
"...Alright. Nevermind." Aurora
8 in Breath of Life (Wings of the Stars) to manifest Flight 4 wings for a duration of 20 minutes;
1 in Flight to fly after the aircraft at Speed 4. Lacus
3 in Flight to catch up with'em at up to Speed 8.

You fly up to the bell craft to find a man sitting at the controls... a man with a bell-shaped helmet, and a hammer for a hand.
