Hey everyone! Autumn-chan here! Sorry about posting a notice instead of a new chapter but I just kept thinking that a lot of people were confused so I wanted to clear everything up for everyone! If I didn't answer a question you had, leave it in a review and I'll get back to you!
From this point on in the story, I will be changing the order of events for the GMG so that my plot works out! Don't forget to R&R!
Lucy set her plate down on the table her team was occupying in the Honeybone Inn, sitting down and moving over so that her sister could sit beside her. Once the two girls were seated, Lucy looked at Erza, who was currently eating a cheesecake, then to Gray, who was slowly eating a pancake in his half awake state.
Lucy looked at her sister and leaned away from her when she noticed the devilish smirk that crossed her face. Lucy noticed her sister grab a spoonful of applesauce and turn the spoon towards Gray.
Lucy's eyes widened. "Wendy don-" But it was too late, the spoonful of fruit had already flown towards Gray.
The blonde watched in horror as the contents of the spoon landed directly on Grays face. The ice-make mages eyes shot open as he glared at the bluenette in front of him, lifting up his plate and flinging at Wendy.
The bluenette shrieked and ducked, sending the plate flying over her head and into Gajeels hair. The raven haired boy paled and froze and the sticky pancake slid off the other mages head. Gajeel turned slowly and glared at Gray, picking up his chunk of iron and hurtling it at Gray.
The said mage was then flung to the side from the force of the chunk of iron hitting him, unfortunately, he just so happened to land on Erza's precious strawberry cheesecake.
The redhead then picked up the cowering male mage by the throat and threw him into the nearest standing person, Natsu. Both boys were effectively covered in all the food Natsu was carrying, causing the two hyperactive idiots to start strangling each other.
Wendy laughed a maniacal laugh and stood on the table. "Food Fight!" She yelled as she stomped around on the table. In short, Lucy's pie, however unintentionally **cough**intentionally**cough**, found it's way down the bluenettes shirt.
After ten minutes of the guild trying to kill each other with food, they were sent to their respective rooms to clean up and 'Get the hell to the arena' in 30 minutes.
Lucy nervously walked into the arena in a bathing suit that consisted of a dark purple bikini and a white tank top that had a chibi shark at the bottom and 'Don't Bite Me' written across her chest. The blonde walked over to where Fairy Tail B's representative Juvia stood, giving the bluenette a small smile.
"Good luck Love Rival." Juvia declared.
Lucy rolled her eyes and looked at the rest of the contestants. There was Jenny from Blue Pegasus, Chelia from Lamia Scale, Risley from Mermaid Heel, Minerva from Sabertooth and oddly, Rocker from Quatro Puppy and Nullpudding from Raven Tail. Lucy made note to stay away from the two male mages for the rest of the games.
As the girls were levitated into the floating water sphere, Lucy felt a magic energy reach out to her, pausing for a moment to listen to what the person had to say. Nodding, the blonde mage got into a ready position as she waited for Mato to let the match begin.
As the pumpkin man cried out for the Naval Battle match to start, Lucy closed her eyes and extended her hand out in front of her, palm open and focused her magic, smiling as she felt an object materialize into her hand.
Lucy's eyes shot open and she grasped the object tightly, finally showing her best kept secret to the world. "OPEN GATE OF THE WATER BARER, AQUARIUS!"
The other contestants looked at her in shock as a door bell rang and golden light exploded in front of Lucy, dying down to reveal the blonde floating beside a mermaid with an urn.
"I sure hope you're ready for this brat, I don't want to lose." Aquarius said as she scowled.
Lucy nodded and looked at the other contestants, who had since resumed their fighting. The blonde looked at Aquarius and pointed to where Risley, Jenny and Chelia were fighting. The mermaid growled at the blonde and used her urn to wash them out of the sphere while Lucy swam to her nearest opponents, who just so happened to be Rocker and Nullpudding.
The blonde shuddered and lit her fist up with her Dragon Slaying magic. "Universal Dragons Iron Fist!" She cried as she slammed her fist into the side of Rocker's head, snickering a bit as he spiralled into Nullpudding with enough force to knock them both out of the sphere.
Once she finished her attack, she sawm back to Aquarius, watching Juvia fight Minerva in the corner of her vision. "Hey Aquarius can you knock those two out please." Lucy asked as she took a deep breath, she wasn't used to having a gate open for this long and she was starting to feel the drain on her magic power.
"Tch." The mermaid scoffed. "I though you were stronger than this... Whatever... If I knock them out you can't summon me for a while, I want to go on more dates with my awesome boyfriend."
Lucy rolled her eyes and smiled as Aquarius sent a strong blast of water towards the two mages.
Juvia stopped fighting Minerva and started to swim against the current. "Ha! Water can't hurt Juvia!" She said as she smirked and swam harder.
Suddenly, Juvia saw a purple light and heard someone apologize, she felt something hit her abdomen. "What?" She choked as she was pushed out of the sphere, dropping to the arena below her.
Looking up, the bluenette noticed that the mermaid had disappeared and that Lucy was fighting Minerva. Juvia took a breath and stood up. "Go Love Rival!"
Lucy, on the other hand, didn't notice Juvia's encouragement because she was to busy blocking Minerva's punches and kicks.
Lucy pushed back from Minerva and took a deep breath. "Universal Dragons Roar!" She yelled as a tornado of purple, silver, gold and black shot from her mouth.
Minerva kicked up and dogged the blondes magic. "Territory!" The dark haired mage cried.
Translucent rainbow coloured spheres shot towards the blonde.
Lucy managed to evade some but the fatigue from summoning Aquarius was hitting her hard and two of the spheres managed to hit her, one in the back and one in the thigh. The blonde screamed as they exploded sending burst of scalding water against her skin.
Panting, Lucy sent magic to her hands and made a pushing motion with her palms facing Minerva. "Universal Dragons Abyssal Wave!" She screamed as the wave of purple magic shot towards the Sabertooth Mage. Lucy quickly light her fist again and swam after the wave, pinpointing where Minerva was and sending a punch into the other girls back.
Minerva gasped and spun around to look at Lucy. "Big mistake." She spat as she sent another blast of Territory towards Lucy.
Before Lucy could dodge, the first bubble hit her, then the next and the next. The entire arena was silent as they listened to Lucy's tortured screams and she was hidden from view by Territory blasts. Juvia had her hands covering her mouth as she watched in horror, meanwhile Wendy looked like she wanted to murder Minerva. The rest of the guild shook with rage as they watched their blonde comrade be tortured.
On the other side of the arena, Sabertooth was laughing at Lucy and cheering Minerva on, well, except Rogue. The brunette was struggling to fight the urge to rip his team to shreds, especially Minerva. Rogue didn't care that she was probably stronger than him, he wanted revenge on her for hurting Lucy.
Once Minerva's magic cleared away, gasps were heard across the arena. Lucy was currently floating in the closest side of the sphere to Fairy Tail.
The blonde gasped for air as she tried to look around to see where she was but all she could see was bright bursts of light and she could only hear ringing in her ears. Lucy gasped as she felt another blow to her stomach, then she felt cold air. Then she felt another magic blast to her back and then a pressure on her neck.
As the blonde's vision cleared, she looked in front of her and saw a laughing Minerva, she weakly reached her hand up and grasped Minerva's arm, attempting to pull her hand of her throat as she hung from the sphere. As the last bit of strength left Lucy, her arm dropped and her head lolled to the side. She looked over and saw the Sabertooth guild laughing and her, but off to the right of their stand, she noticed Rogue being held back by Sting.
Lucy cracked a smile and coughed, ignoring the metallic taste in her mouth. "Rogue..." She whispered as her eyes rolled into her head and Minerva dropped her now limp form.
Time seemed to slow down for Wendy as she watched her beloved sister fall from Minerva's grasp. The last of Wendy's self control flew out the window as she screamed and launched herself over the railing in front of the viewing area with Natsu, Erza and Gray close behind. The bluenette used the winds to propel herself forwards at an intense speed, catching her sister and landing on her feet, laying Lucy down gently before whirling on Minerva who was lowering herself from the water sphere.
The temperature in the arena dropped as powerful winds started to whip around Wendy, magic power rolling off her in waves, in tune with her anger. "You bitch!" She growled as the winds picked up, kicking up dust and forming large Dust Devils around the arena floor.
Chelia pushed against the winds and walked to Lucy, dropping down beside the blonde and beginning to heal her.
The remaining members of team Natsu rushed towards Wendy, shielding their eyes from the dust. Wendy continued to walk towards Minerva, sending the Sabertooth mage a deadly glare.
"Wendy!" Gray yelled. "Don't waste your time with her! Lucy needs your help!"
Wendy turned and looked back at her sister, who was currently unconscious. The bluenette glared at Minerva's back and ran to where her sister and Chelia were, sliding on her knees and stopping beside her, hovering her hands above her sisters chest and using her healing magic.
When Lucy finally woke up again, she couldn't tell where she was, all she knew was that it was dark. Lucy blinked a few times, attempting to clear her fuzzy vision. Once she felt like she wasn't looking at everything through a fishbowl, the blonde turned her head to the side, looking around to try to get her boundaries.
Lucy noticed a small nightstand with a glass of water on it and a small lamp. The blonde also noticed that her room wasn't really a room, but a small curtained-off area. After a moment of thought, Lucy realised that she must be in the Fairy Tail infirmary.
The blonde then looked back to the water glass, taking a deep breath and sitting up, quietly hissing in pain as she moved. Grabbing the glass, Lucy brought it to her lips and started to drink from it, emptying it's contents in seconds.
Lucy sighed and turned her head to look at the other side of her 'room', stifling a scream as she noticed a dark figure sitting in a chair beside her bed. Upon closer inspection, Lucy realised that the figure was none other that Rogue, and, from what she gathered from using her dragon senses, his steady breathing indicated that he was in fact asleep.
Smiling, Lucy turned on the lamp beside her to get a better look at Rogue. He looked so peaceful when he was asleep but Lucy couldn't help but giggle at the fact that he was wearing grey and black plaid pajama pants and a red hoodie.
The blonde sat up further, ignoring the flaring pain from her stomach and legs, and poking the shadow mage in the arm repeatedly.
Rogue frowned in his sleep and twitched his arm away, mumbling something about how it was rude to chew on peoples arms.
Lucy giggled and poked him harder. "Rogue..."
The raven haired mage groaned and cracked his eyes open, looking at Lucy in confusion for a moment before realising where he was. "Lucy you're awake." He mumbled tiredly. "How do you feel?" He asked as he sat up, rubbing sleep out of his eyes.
Lucy smiled and laid back down, keeping her eyes on Rogue. "I've been better but I'm sure once Wendy heals me tomorrow I'll be good as new!" She stated enthusiastically.
Rogue rolled his eyes. "Speaking of Wendy, that girl can be pretty scary..." He muttered as he thought of Wendy's reaction to the end of the Naval Battle fight.
Lucy's eyes widened. "What happened! She didn't hurt you did she?!" She exclaimed as she looked Rogue over for any injuries.
Rogue chuckled and shook his head. "I'm fine, she just lost control of her magic. She also looked about ready to tear Minerva to shreds." He said as he looked down in shame and clenched his fists. "Speaking of Minerva, I'm really sorry for what she did... She went to far... I'm sorry for not stopping her..." Rogue finished.
Lucy sighed and sat up again, biting the inside of her cheek in a attempt to block out the pain. The blonde stood up, straitening out her pink pajamas and stepping towards Rogue, leaning down and wrapping her arms around him.
"It's okay, it wasn't your fault so don't beat yourself up..." She stated as she held him tight. "I'm glad you didn't stop her, I don't want you getting kicked out of Sabertooth."
Rogue smiled a little and put his arms around her waist, puling her down into his lap. The blonde yelped as she fell onto him but calmed down and snuggled into him. The two sat there for a while, not speaking, just holding each other until Rogue pulled his arms away from Lucy and looked at her. "I should head back to my hotel now."
The blonde's face turned into a pout and she pulled away from Rogue, climbing of him and standing up.
Rogue frowned and stood up. "Don't be like that, you look like you're six when you puff your cheeks out like that."
The blonde huffed and looked away from him.
Rogue rolled his eyes and put his hands in the hoodies pocket. "Well, see you later then." He said as he walked towards a shadowy corner of the room so that her didn't have to expend to much magic jumping into the shadows.
Lucy blinked and looked at Rogue. "Wait!" She called out as she walked up to him.
Rogue raised an eyebrow and turned around, looking at the blonde as she walked over to where he was. "Yes?"
Lucy stopped beside his and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. "I'll see you tomorrow."
Rogue smirked and nodded, stepping away for Lucy and disappearing into the shadows.
Don't worry, the events of the day will be in the next chapter! R&R!
Autumn-chan out!
