Thanks to all the people who made their OCs! And just saying, even though I got more OCs than I wanted, I picked the ones I thought were best. So here are the ones I chose (I'll list the names of the OCs):
-Varonica Lowfellowz
-Louis Stevenson
-Krona Milkovich
-Miyuki Natsume
Yeap, I aimed for a mix of personalities. Sorry to the reviewers whose OCs I didn't pick. If I ever need OCs, I'll just use the ones I didn't use, okay? Oh, and also, for Louis, he won't be appearing in this chapter, but instead will be appearing a bit later in the story (since I couldn't exactly find a spot to fit him in o_o)
Lucy emerged again with Minerva to show her friends her new stamp. The Sabertooth guild stamp was mint green and was on her arm, which she showed to Sting, Rogue and Rio.
"Minerva, so what are we going to do about the Grand Magic Games? Since Sophia just joined." Rio asked.
"What do you think? Of course Sophia's on the team. But this time, we'll send two teams. That'll prove we truly are the strongest guild if both teams come in the first two places." Minerva smiled confidently. Sting, Rogue, Rio and Sophia looked at each other.
"T-two teams?!" The four shouted in unison, shocked that Minerva would suggest this. The black haired mage nodded, unfazed by their reaction.
"How will we find that many people?" Sophia replied, since there weren't that many mages that looked up to the part.
"Don't forget about us." A shrill voice spoke up. Sophia looked towards the door to see three figures approaching.
"The Caster Trio, nice timing." Rio waved at the three, which one of them waved back, signaling good friendship between the two. Sophia examined them. The one on the right had a pair of emotionless golden eyes, which were partly covered by violetish blackish hair that reached her knees. Her attire was purple tube top with a silver flower, gold belt and black miniskirt. As her hair moved along to the breeze in the room, Sophia found that she was wearing dragon tooth earrings. The one in the middle had a more gentle expression on her face. She had purple hair and pale skin, which complimented her bright blue camis and her cargo shorts. However, what was strange about her was that she was clearly chewing a spoon, which Sophia cringed slightly about. Lastly, the one on the right had chocolate brown colored hair that were baby blue at the tips. Her simple denim shorts contrasted with her unique black shirt: it had silver embroidery at the ends while the middle of the shirt had a golden rose with petals that ended in white.
"We want you guys to meet someone." Sting nudged Sophia forward, who looked at the three shyly.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Sophia Ellsworth." Sophia smiled, hoping they would welcome her. Surprisingly, they smiled back and started introducing themselves as well.
"I'm Krona, Krona Milkovich. And this is Kitora." Krona stretched her hand to her back to usher a silver eyed exceed with purple and white stripes, who waved.
"Hey, nice to meet you, Sophia! I'm Varonica Lowfellowz, the Steel God Slayer." The friendly God Slayer shook hands with Lucy, beaming as she did so.
"And I am Miyuki Natsume. Pleased to make your acquaintance." The brunette looked pleased with a new addition to the guild, but soon put up a calm demeanor.
"Now that the introductions are done, lets move on to the plans for the Grand Magic Games." Minerva brought them back to topic. "Since we're putting in two teams, I'll list who's in which team." She quickly wrote down a bunch of names for the teams, in which the eight mages gathered around the piece of paper. The list said:
Sabertooth A:
Sting Eucliffe
Rogue Cheney
Krona Milkovich
Sophia Ellsworth
Rio Silvierre
Sabertooth B:
Miyuki Natsume
Yukino Aguria
Varonica Lowfellowz
Orga Nanagear
Rufus Lohr
Sophia's eyes widened when she saw Krona's surname. Milkovich? Wasn't Milkovich Ultear's surname? (Lol, sorry about not telling you guys, but the prologue was after the Tenrou Island arc, so Lucy knows about Ultear, but she doesn't know Ultear is in Crime Sorciere now.)
"Huh? What about you, Minerva?" Sting asked, puzzled by how Minerva, one of the strongest mages of Sabertooth was not on the list.
"I'm a sub this time. Apparently theres another mage that can match my power." Minerva glanced at Sophia, who blushed from the flattery. "Everyone, remember to meet here the day after tomorrow in the morning. That's when we'll leave for Crocus." She announced, and everyone dismissed. Sophia, after spotting Krona's last name, tried to look for Krona, but she was nowhere to be found. After searching for a few minutes, she found the dark haired mage, who was chatting with Miyuki, Varonica and Rio. As she walked closer, she could hear their conversation.
"You know, when Minerva assembled us, I thought Louis would be here." Varonica commented.
"He always was nominated for the Games, after all." Miyuki nodded, quietly noting.
"Nah. I heard from Master that he's on a 100 year mission. You know him, wanting to prove his strength 'cause of the magic he owns." Rio told them, causing them to roll their eyes. Sophia took this opportunity to talk to Krona, who was listening to their talk.
"Um, Krona, I want to ask you something..." Sophia began, but Krona stopped her with a gesture.
"You want to ask about my surname, right? Yes, I am Ultear Milkovich's relative. But I'm only her cousin. Don't think we're similar." Krona answered bluntly with a cold gaze, something which caused Sophia to flinch slightly.
"How did you know?"
"When I was looking at the list, I saw your eyes widening when you looked at my name, which caused you to stare at me the entire time Minerva was talking."
"Oops."
"Is that it?"
"Ah, yes."
With a small nod, she turned away.
Yay! Another chapter done! Thanks again to all the people who designed an OC~
