The King Game: FT Style

by Eldan Aranye

Somehow, Natsu and Lucy ended up in an inn-along with Erza, Gray, Juvia, Gajeel and Levy! Now Natsu is bored, and is asking for another game to play! What would the gang do when Levy suggests they play the exciting King Game? Would they refuse to follow the order of the King? Or will they all follow..?

1. Introduction

INTRODUCTION

Aside from Fairytail, I have also watched the anime Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu. In one OVA of the said anime, I saw them play the King Game. In this game, the participants randomly choose a piece of paper from a pile set in the middle of their group. One of the pieces is marked with a word or a symbol referring to the 'King', while the rest contains numbers. For example, if there are nine participants in the game, eight pieces of paper will be marked with the numbers one to eight, while the ninth will have either a word 'King' written on it, or a symbol (e.g. a crown perhaps) drawn on it. The one who becomes King can then select a person or persons to perform his would-be command-and he would have to do this by calling out the numbers. Remember, he or she does not know who has which number, which makes the game all the more exciting. To make it easier to understand, here's an example:

There are four people playing. Person A had picked up the King piece. He then commands number 2 and 3 to punch each other on the shoulder. Person B had picked the number 2, while Person D has 3. And so they would have to punch each other on the shoulder...

FOR THE KING'S ORDER IS ABSOLUTE!

And with that done, let us now proceed to the actual story! Enjoy!

NB:

When I wrote this, I wanted to make sure that I'd be as random as I could be (except for the last game). So I numbered eight pieces of paper 1 to 8 (8 would be King), and on another eight pieces of paper, I wrote down the names of the following:

Natsu
Gray
Gajeel
Jellal
Erza
Levy
Juvia
Lucy

...they compose the eight participants of the game. n.n
