Chapter 3

Hi Again! Thank you so much for all the reviews. Also thank you to everyone who takes the time to read my stories. It really means a lot to me! The games will begin in this chapter so be ready. Also I would like to thank my friend Victoria Grace for editing my fanfictions. Hope you enjoy chapter three!

I do not own Fairy Tail.

Team Natsu had finally finished setting up their traps and started to make their way to the base. Natsu and Gajeel were quite pleased with their accomplishment. There was no way Erza would ever think about "cheating." Within a few minutes, Team Natsu had made it back to the base.

"Natsu, what took you so long!?" Lucy yelled. "We have been waiting at this base for a hour!"

"Sorry, Lucy, we just had to find the best hiding place there was," Natsu smiled and shot an evil smile at Erza.

Erza narrowed her eyes and asked "Natsu, do you really think your team is going to win?"

Natsu laughed, "Of course."

"You would never cheat... would you?" Erza asked cautiously.

"Okay you two, let's stop fighting," Laxus told them.

"Yeah I'm ready to start," Gray added.

"You're the ones that made us wait," Evergreen hissed.

"Okay, everyone, calm down," Mira cheered, "Lets begin!"

Both teams went into the forest determined to find the opposing team's flag. No team wanted to be known as the first losing team in this new tradition.

Team Erza

In the back of Erza's mind she couldn't help wonder, "Would Natsu really cheat?" A disturbing scream interrupted her thoughts. Erza turned around to see what just happened.

"Evergreen!" Elfman screamed down the hole.

"What happened?" Erza asked, even though it was obvious.

"Evergreen fell down the hole," Mira sighed.

Bickslow asked, "Do you think this is a trap?"

Erza looked around. There were sticks and leaves covering it before Evergreen fell. Seemed a little cartoon-y. But Erza couldn't blame Natsu; anything could have created the hole.

"I don't think it was Natsu," Lucy said, desperately trying to not get the blame put on him.

"Yes, I agree with Lucy," Erza told her group. "Anything could of done this, so we can't jump to conclusions."

"What should we do about Evergreen?" Jellal asked.

"Save her!" Elfman demanded.

Mira chuckled,"Yes, since that is the manly thing to do."

"Oh great, here we go again." Elfman thought, "Mira's playing matchmaker," But just when Elfman was reaching down to grab her hand, he fell in the hole as well.

"Elfman!" Mira screamed.

"How did he fall?" Freed questioned

Erza exclaimed, "Trip wire!" She was on the ground looking at the contraption.

"Okay, Natsu's team had to put this here," Jellal concluded.

Lucy frowned. She was disappointed that Natsu would do this just to beat Erza.

"Okay you two," Mira told the trapped pair, "Just stay there, and we will try to find something to get you out with,"

"Like I would have anywhere to go," Evergreen hissed.

"Shouldn't we go confront Natsu's team for doing this?" Bickslow asked.

"No," Erza smiled, "We will fight fire with fire!"

Team Erza looked scared yet excited. Now was there chance for revenge.

Team Natsu

"Do you think they found our traps yet?" Gray asked.

"I don't know," Juvia responded, "But you don't think they would want revenge if they found out, do you?"

"Maybe, but then again Erza probably won't want to cheat."

Gray and Juvia walked alone. Natsu said it would be better if everyone split into pairs to try to find the flag faster.

"Hey, Gray and Juvia!" Lucy yelled.

Juvia looked up and narrowed her eyes.

"Why are you here?" Juvia loudly snapped, "Are you guarding your flag? You know our team is going to win."

"Is it because your team cheated?!" Lucy shot back.

"We didn't cheat," Gray called nonchalantly.

Lucy shook her head and inquired, "Where's Natsu?"

"Wouldn't you like to know?" Gray smiled.

Juvia realized that if she told Lucy where Natsu was, Lucy would leave Gray and herself alone,

She smiled."Natsu is by the river that leads to the pond."

"Thanks!" Lucy cheered and ran off.

As she ran through the woods, she felt something grab her leg. "Oh no, a trap!" she thought. At that exact moment, an ice cave had trapped her, and she was stuck.

"Erza!" she gasped, even though so knew Erza would not hear her.

Gray and Juvia continued walking. It was starting to get darker. Gray had noticed there were a lot of leaves on the ground. "That's weird." he thought, right before he and Juvia were both screaming.

"Ow!" Gray exclaimed. They had fallen down a hole.

"We didn't make this," Juvia told Gray.

"No... we didn't," Gray answered.

Gray and Juvia noticed the hole getting darker.

"Hey!" Gray called.

"Sorry, but if you want to play dirty, so will we," Erza laughed as she pushed a crate over the hole.

This meant... war!

Thank you so much for reading the third chapter! Sorry if it is a little short, the next chapter will be longer. I need more trap ideas, so if you have any please tell me! Again thanks for reading, and stay tuned for the next chapter. Bye! ~Fawfulrox
