Two months later:

"SSSTTTTTTTTIIIIIIINNNGGGGGGG G! YOU PIG! I'M COMING FOR YOU!" Lucy shouted at the running form of Sting.

In response Sting laughed. Rogue, sitting next to Lucy sighed and patted Lucy's shoulder.

"He's so stupid, so don't worry Lucy. He'll come back once he realises I took his wallet." Rogue replied with a little smirk on his usually bored face.

"RRRROOOOOOGGGGGUUUEEE! YOU WIMP! TAKING MY WALLET! I'M COMING FOR YOU!" Sting growled, approaching the pair.

"Wow... that took less than two minutes. You've gotten smarter." Rogue said.

Lucy snorted and snickered when Sting started glaring at her.

"Give... it... back."

"Say please."

"Never!" Sting said crossing his arms.

"Okay then... hey Lucy do you want to take a look inside his wallet?"

Sting turned red and went on his knees. "Please Rogue... please, please, give me back my wallet. I'm begging you."

"Here." Rogue tossed the wallet to Sting.

Eventually, the tension died down and the trio was back to their normal joking selves when suddenly...

"LUCY! ROGUE! STING! RUFUS! ORGA! GET YOUR ASSES OVER HERE!" Master demanded from inside his office.

The five immediately got up and headed to the office, curious of what their master wanted.

"What's up old man?" Lucy inquired.

"DON'T CALL ME THAT! Anyway, have any of you checked your calendars recently?"

"Nope..." The five chorused in a synchronised manner which had all five fist-bumping each other.

"YOU IDIOTS! THE GREAT MAGIC GAMES ARE COMING UP! SO I WANT THE FIVE OF YOU TO BE SABERTOOTH'S TEAM!"

"I'm in." Rufus, Orga, Sting and Rogue said at once.

Everyone in the room looked expectantly at Lucy who had paled.

"But... I'm not that strong..." Lucy said looking embarrassed.

"Lucy... you're underestimating yourself", Orga said, "You're better than Sting but there's no way you can reach my-"

He was cut off by Sting's angry fist.

"Ignore him, Lucy. No matter what anyone think or says, do you want to participate?" Rogue, always the rational one asked.

Lucy looked at her clenched fists and then at the ground. Could she do it? Was she strong now? All the doubts were hitting her hard and everyone could see how much she truly worried she would let Sabertooth down.

"LOOK BRAT! I DON'T USUALLY SAY THIS TO ANYONE BUT YOU'RE STRONG! PHYSICALLY YOU'RE ONE OF THE BEST! BUT IT'S YOUR HEART THAT'S YOUR STRONGEST POWER! IF YOU BELIEVE I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!"

Lucy stared at the master with teary eyes. "Do you really mean that?"

"OF COURSE I DO! I'M SABERTOOTH'S GUILD MASTER AND YOU'RE LUCY HEARTPHILIA THE CELESTIAL DRAGON SLAYER AND ONE OF THE STRONGEST IN THE GUILD!"

"Okay! I'll do it! And we'll win!" Lucy said, determination lighting up in her eyes.

"OKAY!" Sting shouted. "LET'S WIN THIS!"

Everyone put their arms out and shouted, "FOR SABERTOOTH!"

That is everyone except for Rogue, who just stepped back and looked on, a rare smile on his lips.

...

Meanwhile at Fairy Tail:

"It's time for the third Battle of Fairy Tail! If you can find one of the five armbands, you'll be in the Fairy Tail Team for the Great Magic Games! So are you ready, you shitty brats?!"

The guild cheered in response.

"Freed have all the traps been set? Bickslow, Evergreen, are you in position?"

"Yes!" The trio responded.

"VERY WELL! ON YOUR MARKS... GET SET... BAZINGA! LET THE BATTLE BEGIN!"

Everyone sprinted off, some splitting off in pairs while others like Natsu just charged off.

"Well... that was exciting." Laxus commented looking relaxed.

"Why are you still here Laxus? Shouldn't you be looking for the armband?" Master Makarov asked.

Laxus merely smirked and showed master his armband.

"... how did you get that?"

"Magic."

"Meh... I guess you're in the team. Congratulations... but why would you want to? You don't even really know Lucy."

"I'm doing it for the sake of a promise I made to someone a long time ago." Laxus replied.

"Who?"

"You don't need to know..."

The two fell silent and watched the battle from the screens set up across the guild.

Three hours later...

Only eight remained. Four armbands remained with two people pining for each armband. The pairs were:

Natsu vs Lisanna

Gajeel vs Elfman

Erza vs Juvia

Gray vs Cana

...

Gajeel vs Elfman:

The battle was ferocious. Onlookers were amazed by the ferocity the two fought with as they both wanted the same prize but for different reasons. Elfman was doing it to get Lucy back and apologise for everything whereas Gajeel wanted the armband so he could have the chance to beat up the different guilds and talk to Lucy. Eventually it came down to one final strike.

"Takeover... Beast arm!"

"Iron Dragon's Roar!"

Gajeel's move full of his true convictions and feelings overpowered Elfman who fell to the ground defeated.

"I won't let you down Elfman. I'll give Lucy your feelings." Gajeel said.

Gajeel walked over to the rock where the armband lay and picked it up. I'll bring you back, Gajeel thought determinedly.

...

Erza vs Juvia:

The two exchanged blows once again. It appeared Juvia had the upper hand but the two were panting hard so it was hard to predict who would win. Their convictions were so strong that the battle seemed endless.

"Heaven's Wheel!"

"Water slicer!"

The two clashed.

"I have to win! I have to apologise to Lucy!" Erza shouted, bringing out her Fairy Armour.

"And that's why I'm going to win! I'm fighting for Lucy!" Juvia shouted back gathering all her magic power and releasing it in one final burst.

"WATER SLICER!"

The move hit Erza who was pushed back several metres but held her ground. Erza eventually stopped the move and stood in front of Juvia who was breathing heavily.

"And that's why I won. I'm fighting to say sorry and to hopefully fight by her side once again." Erza said quietly, as here whispers were carried off into the wind.

Juvia slumped defeated and Erza took the armband from the water. I'll fight for Lucy, Erza thought, and for Juvia.

...

Gray vs Cana:

Gray dodged narrowly missing the dangerous card sent his way.

"ICE MAKE... HAMMER!"

Cana dodged it easily and smirked. "Is that all you got Gray?!"

Gray growled and charged forward towards Cana.

"Card magic... Dark Flames!"

A black flame exited the card and zoomed off to Gray who was holding his palms out in a defensive position. The flames quickly burned him and soon his hands were blistered and burnt severely. But he ignored it. Just as he had ignored Lucy.

"You'll never win Gray! I'm going to get Lucy back! I owe her so much and nothing is going to get in my way!"

Gray continued to push forward towards Cana who sending more black flames towards him.

"I have to bring back Lucy! To save the girl who cried with us. The girl who smiled with us. The girl that fought for us! I HAVE TO SAVE LUCY BECAUSE SHE IS FAIRY TAIL!"

Gray gritted his teeth and put his hands together.

"ICE MAKE... GEYSER!"

A huge ice geyser appeared and hit Cana straight on who fell unconscious from the hit.

Gray groaned as he walked to the armband while was on top of an Ace of Spades.

I'm sorry Cana, Gray thought, but I have to talk to Lucy.

...

Natsu vs Lisanna:

"I WILL BEAT YOU LISANNA!" Natsu roared charging with his fists.

Lisanna transformed in response into her tigress form.

"You're going to be the loser this time, Natsu!"

More blows were exchanged with Natsu having the upper hand.

"Give up now, Lisanna."

"Never! I must be the one to bring back Lucy! I owe her that much at least!"

Natsu's fists lit up and he sprinted towards Lisanna who was prepared for him. The two fought with their convictions which changed it into a personal battle.

"I'm sorry Lisanna. But I will get Lucy back!"

"WHY? WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT?! WHY YOU NATSU?!"

"BECAUSE LUCY IS MY MATE!" Natsu roared, his whole body in flames.

"And I will protect her!" Natsu's eyes blazed with his emotions.

...

Cliffy :D OHOHOHO! Lucy and Natsu are mates?! MWAHAHA

Until next time.

Please review :D
