Kyodo: Yes!

Kopaka777: Dare I ask wha-

Kyodo: The anime is continuing!

Kopaka777: Hey guys, Kopaka777 here. It is official. The anime isn't over, it's just on hiatus. Hopefully only for a few months though.

I also want to shout out to any old readers:

If you have followed or favourited the story, can you please do it again? In adding a prologue I may have…deleted my story (oops), in turn cancelling all of your follows/favourites. I really value how you are interested in my story, so if you were previously following or had favourited my story, please do it again! And if you haven't followed/favourited already and you want to, feel free to!

I have added a prologue. It seems like a lot of people read the first chapter and didn't read the rest of the story, so I wrote the prologue so that more people would continue with this story,

If you haven't read chapter 326, do it now. Rogue is epic. And what the heck is wrong with Lucy?

That's all from me, here's the chapter!

The door to my room flew open with a bang. "Wake up!" Sting yelled.

I groaned. "Five more minutes." I said.

Yukino walked in and poked me. "No such luck." She said.

"Please. Just five more minutes."

"Do I have to tickle you?" That got me up. You have no idea how well Yukino can tickle people. Glae and I got dressed and headed down to the dining hall, where breakfast was being served. I grumbled a word of thanks to Sting for helping me beat the queue. I went over to the buffet and stacked my plate high with ice cubes. The waiters gave me a few odd looks, but the ice tasted really good (ice can taste good or bad, depending on the wizard who makes it, or how well it is made naturally), so I didn't care. Glae, Rogue, Frosch, Yukino, Sting, Lector and Orga came over to where I had sat down.

"So who's going to compete in the competition part today?" Orga asked. Sting slammed his fists together, grinning.

"I'll do it. Apparently everyone's been waiting to see Rogue and I compete."

"Fair call." I said. Although it would probably mean I would have nothing to do today. Ah well, a bit of rest won't kill me. After finishing breakfast and getting ready for the day, we walked to the Domus Flau, with Sting getting pumped up for the competition while we were walking.

"I know you'll win, Sting-kun!"

"Fro thinks so too!" I noticed Yukino hanging back.

I slowed down. "You okay?" I asked.

"Just thinking." She replied. "Bye the way, what did that boy talk to you about yesterday?" I glanced ahead. Sting was arguing with Orga about how lightning didn't taste as good as light, while Lector and Frosch were having a bizarre argument over who was stronger: Sting or Rogue.

"Sting-kun's the strongest!"

"Fro thinks so too!"

"See Rogue!"

"But Rogue's stronger!"

"What! That makes no sense!" Rogue was watching them with a rare smile on his face, but I knew if I said something he would hear. I explained to Yukino what had happened, and how I had a sister. She smiled.

"That's great." She said, looking away. I wondered what was wrong when I remembered a name: Sorano Aguria.

Flashback

"Ice Dragon's Roar!" I yelled.

"Libra, switch the targets gravity sideways!" Libra switched the gravity of the Dark Mage so that he flew into the path of my attack, which hit him dead centre. As the explosion cleared, he fell to the ground. I glanced around.

"That's all of them." I said. Yukino nodded and sat down, panting. I didn't blame her. I'd been going on S-Class missions for over a year now, so I was used to the fact that I had to push myself, but Yukino had been taken by surprise. I walked over and sat beside her.

"How much was the reward again?" she asked. "

One million Jewel each. Speaking of the reward, we'd better go get it." She nodded and we were about to set off when Yukino froze and pointed a shaking figure at the mage we had just beaten.

"What's wrong, Yukino?" Glae said, landing on my head. I looked at the mage more closely and saw what Yukino was interested in. On the first button of the Dark Mages collar was the mark of a follower of Zeref. I shuddered. I'd never met a follower of Zeref, but I had heard of the atrocities they did. But Yukino was shaking.

"Yukino, what's wrong?" I said. She turned her head towards the ground, tears running down her face.

"When I was young, I was always stuffing up and being scolded by my parents. But I had a sister, Sorano, who always stood up for me."

She gulped. "Then, one day, a group of Zeref's followers attacked my town, killing my parents and taking away my sister. I barely survived." Tears were flooding her cheeks now. I put my hand on her shoulder and smiled.

"That's all in the past now. Let's not being dragged down by it, okay? Surely Sorano would have wanted to you to live a good life, hey?" she looked at me.

"Kyodo, I…"

"It's okay." I smiled. "Let's walk forth...towards the future."

Flashback end

I bit my lip. "I'm sorry I bought it up." I said.

"It's okay. Having a sister is wonderful, and I would wish it on anyone." She said. "So when are you going to meet her." I froze. I hadn't thought of that. How on earth do you track down a fugitive? I mean, if I knew what she smelled like, that would be a start (note: Kyodo has enhanced hearing, smell and sight like the other dragon slayers, so he could use this to find Ultear).

"Um…I hadn't thought of that." Yukino laughed and Rogue smiled.

"You're hopeless." She started playing with her keys absent-mindedly as the Domus Flau got closer. We hiked up the stairs (which was not fun) and headed to our area.

"Competitors for 'Chariot', please report to Gate E. I repeat, competitors for Chariot, please report to Gate E." The loudspeaker announced.

Sting slammed his fists together. "Time to kick some butt!" He said.

"You'll win for sure, Sting-kun!"

"Fro thinks so too!"

"I'll win for sure. Oi, Kyodo!"

I turned around. "Yeah?"

"If I come first place, you have to go on...a scenic train ride."

I gulped. "W-why?"

"Because I've got to be better than you."

That makes no sense. I thought.

"Fine, but if you don't, you have to do it." I said. Sting grinned and held out his hand, which I shook. Then he ran off.

What had I just gotten myself into? Okay, for some weird reason, Dragon Slayers get severe motion sickness on forms of transportation. But what makes scenic train rides so bad is that they go really slowly, so that you can take in the scenery, so it is extra long torture for me.

Everyone stood there for a while. I tried to work out who had chosen to compete from the other teams. I couldn't spot Natsu and Gajeel, so that meant they had chosen to go.

"Kyodo-kun, what do you think Chariot will be?" Lector asked.

I shrugged. "I don't know, probably something to do with a cha-" my eyes went wide. "Kyodo, what's wrong?" Yukino asked.

"Dragon Slayer get motion sickness on vehicles." She looked confused, but nodded.

"Sting signed up for an event called 'Chariot'." Yukino still looked confused.

"A chariot is a vehicle."

"Alllllllllright! It's the second day of the Grand Magic Games, and our first event of the day is Chariot. In this competition, competitors must race across a series of moving vehicles without falling off! If they do, their disqualified! The vehicles are travelling around Crocus, and will eventually end up at the Domus Flau!" Chapati said. "We'll be following the race by Lacrima Vision!" Screens popped up, and I immediately started scanning for Sting. There he was, tied for last place with Natsu and Gajeel.

I face palmed. "Why?" I said. "Why did we send him?"

"It can't be helped. Everyone has a weakness, even Sting-kun!"

Orga raised an eyebrow. "What's my weakness?" Frosch pointed to someone selling the Sorcerers Weekly, which had a female mage in a swimsuit. I quickly froze Orga before he started going nuts.

Rogue sighed. "It's a shame you didn't go, Yukino. You would've beat them all with Libra." Yukino blushed at the compliment. Then Rogue started walking away.

"Rogue, what's wrong?" Frosch said.

"If I don't leave I'll be sick."

"Fro thinks so too!"

"Hey, it looks like Natsu is saying something!" Glae said, having been absorbed by watching the race and ignoring our conversation. I turned round to look at the screen.

"Why did you even bother participating in the tournament? The Fairy Tail I knew…didn't care about appearances or how they were thought of." Sting (who was somehow coping with his motion sickness) said to Natsu and Gajeel, who were both overcome by motion sickness, but still trying to move.

"For…our friends!" Sting raised an eyebrow. "Our friends…who went through seven years of sadness, mockery, and hopelessness. But did they give up?" Natsu said. "No! They pulled through! For seven years, they waited for us to come back! That's why we're here! For the sake of our friends!" I looked over at Fairy Tail and saw that they were all crying from Natsu's speech. A tear came out of my right eye as I smiled. Fairy Tail…they truly understood the meaning of nakama, didn't they? They were…a real guild.

The race ended with Natsu and Gajeel beating Sting (who gave up), with Natsu earning two points and Gajeel one point.

"Ze-zero points!" Orga said, having broken free of his icy prison.

I shrugged. "No one's perfect." I replied.

"Alright! After the emotional competition part, it's time to move on to the second part of the day! The battle part!" The crowd began cheering wildly.

"Yukino Aguria, please report to Preparation Area 2. Yukino Aguria, please report to Preparation Area 2." Said a voice over the intercom. Yukino looked nervous.

I patted her on the shoulder. "Don't worry, you'll be fine. You've got three Zodiac Gatekeys, remember?"

Yukino smiled. "Thanks Kyodo." She said before walking off.

"Alllllllright! For our first match of the day, Toby Horhorta of Lamia Scale vs Kurohebi of Raven Tail!" This would be interesting. Kurohebi had almost won 'Chariot' (speaking of 'Chariot', where was Sting?), and I wanted to see what the other Raven Tail members were like.

Nek minnit

Ok, it's official. They're evil. Well, excuse me, but who destroys something precious to you and smiles about it? I gave Kurohebi my best glare while Raven Tail laughed. I'd love to fight them all at once.

"I'm going to get a drink." I said, walking off.

"Wait up!" Glae said, as she followed me.

"You're going to get a slushy aren't you?"

I raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong with slushies?" I asked.

"Kyodo, I swear you have more slushies than the Master does grapes."

"For the record, I'm an Ice Dragon Slayer, I'm allowed to eat lots of ice. And there is no way I eat more slushies than Master does grapes. You remember Honto, don't you?" Glae laughed. When I first started at Sabertooth, Master said it would be good if the strongest members could work together. One of our first missions was to save a winery from a horde of giant spiders. They gave us a massive crate of grapes as a reward (which was surprising, since one of Orga's spells missed and destroyed half the crop), which we gave to the guild in order to make wine, but in a week Master had eaten all of them. I reached the drinks stand and had to insist on paying ("Please, my compliments sir!") and was starting to drink/eat it as sounds of battle broke out.

"Ooh, Bacchus is fighting Elfman!" Glae said, using Aera to get a better look.

"I can't see from here, let's find another place to watch." I replied. We walked down a corridor and out an exit when I heard a familiar voice.

"Give them back!" Shouted none other than the Fire Dragon Slayer, Natsu Dragneel. He was chasing three hooded figures, who were carrying an old pink-haired lady, a cat, and a young blue-haired girl.

"Stop them!" Natsu yelled.

"Glae, catch!" I yelled, dropping my slushy.

"Ice Dragon's Frost Bolt!" Several dozen bolts of blue energy generated in under my arm. I flung my arm out, and the bolts of energy flew over to hit the kidnappers, causing them to fall over. Natsu proceeded to grab them and throw them around.

"Who do you work for?" He said, spinning one guy.

Glae and I sweat dropped. "And you want to fight this guy?" Glae muttered. A few guards came running and tied the people up. "

We only took the job we were given. B-by someone in Raven Tail!" One of them said.

"Good job." One of the guards said. "We'll take them away." The guards dragged the kidnappers away.

"Raven Tail…how dare they!" Natsu shouted, fists flaming.

"Natsu-san, please don't get so worked up. They said they weren't looking for us, but someone who was in the infirmary." The young girl said.

"Was…meaning the past tense." Continued the cat.

"There was only one girl who was in the infirmary." Said the old lady. Natsu and the young girl looked at each other.

"Lucy!" No one seemed to be paying attention to me, so I started walking off.

"Oi! Where are you going?" I turned around to see Natsu run up to me.

He stuck out his hand. "I still haven't thanked you for helping me." I was shocked. We were in rival guilds, yet he was offering me his hand? I reached out and shook it.

But about two seconds later Natsu let go and started jumping up and down saying "Gaah! Your hand is so cold!"

I smiled. "Sorry. Can't help it." One of the side effects of using Ice Dragon Slayer Magic is that you have cold skin. Natsu and his friends turned to walk away.

"Natsu." I said. He turned around.

"Hmm?" I paused.

"Watch out for Sting. He's strong." Natsu grinned and slammed his fists together (which were on fire again).

"That gets me all fired up!" He replied. Then he and his friends walked away.

Glae and I headed down to where Yukino would be getting ready for her battle.

"He seemed really nice." Glae said.

"Yeah. I look forward to fighting him." I said. I opened the doors to the area and saw Yukino there, fiddling with her keys, which she always does when she's nervous.

She looked up at me. "Don't be so nervous Yukino, you'll be fine." I said, patting her on the shoulder.

"But what if I-"

"Yukino, I've seen you defeat 20 mages just with a sword.

She looked at the floor. "They were really wea-"

"It was still 20 mages!" I said. She looked at me.

She smiled. "You're right. Thank you Kyodo." Just then, Rogue and Orga walked in, followed by Frosch and Lector.

Lector looked worried. "Where's Sting-kun? He should've come back by now."

"Fro thinks so too!"

"It's okay Lector, he's probably just sick." I said.

"Fro thinks so too!"

I turned to Rogue. "Who won by the way? I didn't see."

"Elfman beat Bacchus, but it was close. Fairy Tail really is strong." I smiled. I was looking forward to fighting Natsu more and more.

"W-what's this?" Chapati said. We all turned round to see…um, to see…well, Mirajane of Fairy Tail and Jenny of Blue Pegasus…well, to see them start making poses…in their underwear. "What the…" Rogue said. Then it hit me. There were two young, beautiful women in the middle of the arena.

And Orga Nanagear was right behind us.

Bit of comedy coming up…But also sadness

Thanks for reading! Review, follow, favourite, but most of all, enjoy!
