Starlight's pov

I walked along the streets of Crocus with Gajeel, Lily and Phoenix as the soft breeze blew my bangs into my face. We had just gotten back from our 3-month training journey 3 days ago and big brother was in fairy tail's second team which had gotten 2nd place in the sky labyrinth and we were now heading for the arena where we would meet with the rest of the team.

"I'm so excited to see you in the games, big brother" I said as he looked at me with his crimson red eyes "yeah I'm sure you'll beat Natsu" my exceed Phoenix said.

Phoenix wore a purple kimono with gold straps and a gold obi/sash, she was a bright red exceed with yellow paws, ears and tail tip and wore a wooden bow that had 7 names carved onto it, including Gajeel's, Lily's and mine. She also had a quiver with her arrows in it on her back as well.

"Of course you are, I would feel the same if you were competing" Gajeel said as he patted his hand on my messy hair.

We had finally got to the arena where Laxus, Mirajane, Juvia and Jellal who was posing as Mystogan. "Good luck guys, I'll be cheering you on from the stands." I encouraged while Lily and Phoenix stood at my feet.

"Thanks Starlight" Mira replied with her usual soft and sweet smile. I returned her smile although it wasn't as good as hers. "We'll win for fairy tail" Juvia added as she held her hands in front of her. I looked at my brother while he put his hand on my head and ruffled up my hair. "And if our team wins, we'll let you help us with the reward" he told me with a grin while still messing up my hair. The others nodded in agreement except Jellal.

"Thanks you guys are great friends" I replied as my brother went back to the others. "We'd better go to the stands" Lily interrupted the conversation while I started to nod "well you'd better go but don't forget that if one of us can't compete then you will be taking our place" Laxus reminded me before waving us off with the others.

We waved in return and walked off to the stands. "There are just two more teams that made it through the preliminary round!!!" the announcer shouted through his mic as my ears picked up a bit of static from the mic

I listened in to the crowd and heard lots of confused murmurs coming from people that were in the audience. "Here we go! The team who came in 2nd place in the preliminaries... Well now... This is unexpected!!!" the announcer shouted before going a little bit quieter. Phoenix and Lily flew with their wings to where our guild was cheering and I followed.

"Could the flapping of their fallen wings really carry them all the way here?!! Its the least expected... The unbelievable..." the announcer shouted starting to get even louder which was starting to hurt my ears. When I got close to the front of the stand, I heard Natsu shout "NO WAY" "FAIRY TAIL B TEAM" the announcer shouted so loud that I'm pretty sure he caused my eardrums to explode.

I looked down to see Natsu doing a hilarious face. "WHAAAAAAAAT" Gray, Natsu and Elfman shouted in unison "SIS!!??/GAJEEL!!!/JUVIA!!!!!" Lucy then followed up "wait, what about Laxus?!" the crowd started to mumble about the guild when I reached the front of the booth. "Hey Levy" I laughed while doing the grin that only me and my brother could do. "Oh, hi Starlight" Levy spoke with a bit of shock after turning to see me.

Phoenix and Lily leaped up onto the wall next to Happy who was still processing what was going on. Master Mavis started talking about how Jellal wasn't a member of our guild which made the 6th master panic and start apologising to Mavis but was surprised when she told him it was alright. "Now, for the last team that made it through the preliminary round..." the crowd went crazy with shouts and screams an I guessed straight away who this was the moment the announcer shouted the first words. "That's right! You all know who they are!!!

The strongest!!

The invincible!!

The complete dominators!!

SABERTOOTH!!!!!!"

ROGUE'S POV

"SABERTOOTH!!!!!!"

The announcer shouted as I entered the stadium with Sting, Rufus, Orga and Yukino. The breeze that was blowing in the arena made my hair blow a bit more into my face. I glanced around at the other teams trying to spot Gajeel.

That's when I spotted Gajeel who was distracted by something over in the area that fairy tail was in. I pulled my gaze off of Gajeel and let it fall on the area Gajeel was looking at to see who or what was distracting him, and spotted two girls that were looking at him while three cats stood in front of them.

One cat was a medium coloured blue with a white chest/belly and a white tail tip. He had a green cloth tied around his neck and seemed to be poufy like there was something in it.

The second cat was pitch black with white around his mouth and instead of pointed ears he had rounded ears. He wore green trousers and a sword was tied onto his back.

The third cat was a red colour that looked like fire with yellow paws, yellow tail tip and yellow ears. Her ears and tail were more fluffy than the other two, she wore a purple kimono with gold straps and belt, she also had a wooden bow and quiver with arrows attached to her back.

The girl on the right had light blue shoulder length with bangs that were tied back from her face with a colourful bandana that had a flower around her head. She wore an orange dress with a white bow on the front and white straps keeping it on.

The final girl had long spiky black hair that was similar to Gajeel's hair but she wore a green bandana that hid the front of her hair and had two parts of hair that fell down at the side of her face. She had crimson red eyes with metal studs above her eyes, along her nose, below her mouth and on her arms. She wore a shabby, brown sleeveless tunic with a closed, light grey opening running down the middle. She also had a grey belt, a black tattered scarf and a large wing-like object that covers most of her right arm and black gloves with studded wristbands (their twins so don't kill me over me making Gajeel and his sister outfit similar)

I couldn't help but stare at the girl who I guessed was Gajeel's sister and after a couple of minutes her crimson gaze rested on me. I felt my heart beat speed up while I just stood there and stared into her crimson orbs.

Just from the way her eyes looked, I could tell she had been through a lot of pain and regret. I knew what that was like since I felt the same way after I killed Skiadrum. I may act all high an mighty about it but I truly regretted what I had done.

I didn't stop staring into her eyes even when they were picking the participants for the first event. "Rogue, lets go" was what I heard that snapped me out of my trance. "What?" I asked a little confused. "We need to go to the booths" Sting explained. "Oh right" I mumbled before walking with the rest of the team (minus Rufus) to the booth.

When we had gotten to our stand the first event had already started and I couldn't help but stare at the black haired girl. "Hey Rogue, who are you staring at" Sting whispered after he had walked over to me. How he got over without me noticing, I will never know.

"No one" I lied snapping my head round so I was looking at one of the stone walls of the booth. I could feel my face heating up and I knew my face was turning a light red and I confirmed it with what Sting blurted out next. "your blushing, you like someone" Sting whisper shouted with excitement in his voice.

He then started to look around the crowd to see who it was I 'liked'. My eyes travelled over to the girl as she started to cheer when one of her guild members got a point for fairy tail B team and her friends seemed to be laughing. The red and yellow cat was laughing her head off before falling backwards and almost falling over the edge of the stand but the black and white cat grabbed her and steadied her before all 5 of them burst into even more laughter.

"Are you serious" Sting whisper shouted at me. "What" I asked with complete confusion as to what he was going on about. "You like Gajeel's sister" he replied. 'He must have seen me look back over' I thought to myself.

"No" I lied to him as I leaned against the wall with my arms crossed, "your lying" Sting said looking at me closely "I am not" I said a little irritated as Sting did that smirk he does. "What" I asked looking at him.

"Come on, I know your lying so just tell me that you do" he pestered me. "I'm not lying" I lied, wishing I could hit him on the head to shut him up. "Come on" he said making me annoyed. "fine, I admit it, will you leave me alone now" I whisper shouted at him. Why was he so good at getting people to admit stuff.

"Fine but first your an idiot, second don't do anything stupid because even though you like her she is still our enemy and who knows what the master would do to you or her and finally, I promise not to tell" he explained to me before walking over to lector as the first event ended.
