Summary- Makarov had gotten the guild a lacrima video game player and TV for a more fun way to train. Lucy had already had a little experience with each game, so it was only natural to come out on top of everyone. But unknowingly, Gajeel had also a lot of training. Gajeel challenged her to a match, watching her competitive side come out.

Genre- Humor

Rating- K

Pairing- Nalu (if you squint)

Now this story is loosely based off some fanart I saw of Gajeel and Lucy playing video games. Unfortunately I do not have the artists name, but I would just like to give them some credit for their amazing art work.

"Listen up you brats!" Master Makarov announced throughout the guild hall. Lucy was busy talking to Natsu about their next job when she looked up from her spot. It seemed he got their attention pretty quickly. "I want to introduce you all to the new and updated lacrima play station. This is for training purposes only so don't think you can just come up here and play this whenever you want!" Mira tore off the large cover over the TV and showed it off like she was part of one of those game shows.

Lucy looked at the set and gasped. She remembered playing something like that as a kid! Though this version was updated pretty well, everything seemed to be about the same. When she was around ten, she would go to a gaming store. Though the place didn't get every many customers as no one really knew it cared about lacrima video games. The store owner would let her play from sunrise to sunset.

She knew she had to be the first to try it. Before anyone could even get up, she raced to the game set and grabbed a controller and turned on the lacrima TV and play station. She looked through the games that the master had tossed around and picked up the one she knew best. It was a battling game, the same version as the one she played as a kid. Though she never thought of that game as training, how the master considered it training baffled her. She figured he just wanted an excuse to buy it.

Everyone watched her as she placed the disc in and watched the game load. Everyone gave Lucy and odd expression, mentally asking themselves how she knew what to do. Lucy stood and smiled darkly at everyone that gazed at her. "Who wants to challenge me?" Erza stepped forward and grabbed the other controller. Erza gave her a look of determination.

"I shall challenge you Lucy, but just so you know, I won't go easy on you." The requip mage stated darkly. The blonde only chuckled and hunched over as she sat.

"I would be insulted if you did." She picked her favorite character. It was a small fox girl. She looked cute and innocent, but Lucy learned long ago that she was by far the strongest character. Erza chose a large beast that resembled a hyena. The game started on the count of three, Lucy immediately going into action.

Lucy controlled the fox girl to move under the beast, as foxes were known for being sly and quick. She was able to maneuver her character to repeatingly kick the beast in the back of the head. Erza counted by slamming the club her character was holding on the fox who dodged quickly. Erza couldn't have chosen the worst character for a small and quick character. While Erza was in panic mode, trying to defeat Lucy, the celestial mage was able to beat the the red head by lowing all of her character's health.

"I win!" Lucy laughed. Everyone's jaw was wide open, watching Erza sit there in shock for a moment. She then stood and bowed to Lucy who grinned widely. She may not be able to defeat Erza with her physical strength, but no one could best her in video games.

"You were amazing Lucy. You must teach me one day!" Erza said stiffly and walked away. Then there was a large crash heard a ways away. Erza had just destroyed a nearby table and walked out of the guild. While everyone shivered in fear, Lucy cackled. She expected that reaction, all her other opponents would either cry or run out the store with anger. Lucy set her hands on her hips proudly and challenged others.

"Okay, who's next!" Multiple people came up to her, confident in their own skill. But she always came out on top. Laxus, Gray, and even Natsu. They all lost to the fox girl. Natsu slammed his controller in the guild floor, almost breaking it. He turned to glare at Lucy.

"I've played you at least ten times, how are you beating me!" She stood next to him and flicked his nose. He yelped and rubbed it. "What was that for?!"

She shrugged condescendingly. "I'm just that good is all. I've been playing video games ever since I was a little girl, it's only natural that I'm better than everyone!" The guild rolled their eyes at her. Everyone was either in shock or just flat our angry. They just couldn't fathom Lucy being so skilled in something like video games. Natsu pursed his lips.

It was actually kind of cool of her...gah! What the hell was he thinking?! He stomped away and got in line to challenge her again. That's when someone stood and cut in line. The people in line yelled at the man to get to the back of the line, but he just ignored them.

"I've had some practice myself bunny girl. You want to challenge me?" Lucy looked up to see Gajeel, swallowing a hand full of screws. She smirked and tossed him the controller. He sat down on the platform next to her and then started the game. He chose the iron snake. Lucy narrowed her eyes, he actually chose a character that was on par with the fox girl.

So he did know what he was doing. Fine, more fun for her when she beats him. She watched the game countdown in anticipation. Gajeel was relaxed, how could he be so laid back?! He was the most competitive person he had ever met besides Natsu of course. Seeing how she has one every game, he should be pissing his pants.

The game started. She immediately went to attack his snake with a dropped bomb. Once it blew up in his area, she chuckled. Of course that didn't do anything, the damn snake was iron. It was good for him to think she was stupid against an opponent like the iron snake.

Her character managed to hit the snake once before Gajeel started pushing down buttons in his controller. Suddenly, her fox was being thrown around by the snake's tail! She gasped and did her own little power move to get out of the iron grip, pun intended. Behind her, multiple people were cheering. A lot for her, but most for Gajeel since she kind of pissed everyone off. She sucked in a breath and used a powerup to use acid and melt his iron scales.

"Come on Luce! Kill him!" Natsu cheered. She smiled softly, even if she won against him every single time he challenged her, he stayed loyal to his mission partner.

"Gajeel! Go go Gajeel!" A petite voice chanted.

"Levy-chan!" Lucy whined.

"Sorry, but you were mean the last time we played." Lucy scoffed and turned back to her game to concentrate. Lucy was going to lose, she could feel it. She was determined to keep her winning streak. Even if it involves blatant cheating, she wasn't ashamed, she wanted to win. She smashed her hand up against Gajeel's cheek to try and distract him.

"You're cheating!" The guild screamed. Lucy ignored them and pushed on his face until he was half way on the ground. He didn't give up though, much to Lucy's dismay. She growled and suddenly grabbed his controller from out of his hand and held it from him. He yelled out for her to give it back, reaching for it.

She was able to play and keep it out of his hands. She was able to get her fox girl to strangle the snake until all of its health diminished. When the screen lit up with her character winning, she smiled and gave the controller back to him.

"What the fuck bunny girl, you blatantly cheated!" He yelled as he threw down the device. Lucy sniffled and wiped her nose with a sly smile. Of course she felt a little bad about doing that, but she was hell bent of having an unbreakable winning streak. A stupid iron snake wasn't going to stop her from that. Gajeel should of known that she would pull something like that, her character was a fox after all.

"What can I say? I'm a competitive gamer."
