"Natsu-san...A dark figure said.

"Gajeel..." The other figure says.

"I'LL BEAT YOU." They both said simultaneously.


Chapter Seven: Crossed The Line (PART TWO OF THE TOURNAMENT OF TALENT) TimeSkip

Everyone practice, and was ready. It was almost time till the talent show, everyone, especially the top ten was 'fired up'. The first challenge was against Number 10, Jellal Fernandes.

"I will beat you Jellal Fernandes." The leader of the 'rune knights' club said.

"Okay." Jellal just plainly answered.

"Once I do, I will make you get the tattoo off your face."

"Its a birthmark." Jellal said offensely.

"Whatever. Anyways I will make you go down, and beat you.

"You already said that."

"Because I will."

"Okay then." Jellal never changed his face. It was always a bored, straight look.

"LETS START! GET READY!" Jenny, one of judges yells. 36 people goes up to the canvas, and when the light turned green, they start to paint. They had to paint the original 'bowl of fruit' painting. All the contestants, besides Jellal, was still painting after 30 minutes, until a whistle was blown.

"STOP." The judges yelled together. The judges looked at all the paintings, and announces that Jellal is the winner.

"WHAT?! WHY!?" The other contestants asks.

"Jellal painting had magic circles, that turned the fruit to look like its actually here, while everyone elses didn't. Or something like that." The Judge answered.

"How can I lose!?" The leader of the 'rune knights' said while kneeling and looking up.

"BECAUSE JELLAL CRUSH YO ASS." Natsu yelled from the background while jumping.

"YEAH LOSER!" Gray added.

"GUYS. Have good sportsmanship." Lucy shouted at them. She didn't want them to be scared or nervous.

"HE DOESN'T NEED YOUR PITY LUCY HEARTIFILIA! THAT JUST SHOWS HOW MUCH YOU THINK LOWLY OF US. WE WILL BEAT YOU AND THOSE FAKE BREASTS OF YOURS." A female 'rune knight' yelled so loud that everyone could hear it. A tick mark appeared on Lucy's head.

"OH YEAH. I was trying to be nice, even though you guys are ALL annoying, but I guess I cant." Lucy was about to run towards the rune knight girl, but Gray and Natsu held her back.

"Oi, Luce! You can't do that, you'll get expelled." Natsu shouted as he grabbed her leg.

"THAT GIRL IS ASKING FOR IT." Lucy said as she held up her fist.

"Just beat her during the tournament." Gray said.

"Fine. HEY WHAT'S YOUR FACE!" Lucy calls. "I WILL CRUSH YOUR SORRY ASS, AND WHEN I DO, AND THIS TOURNAMENT IS OVER, YOUR GONNA REGRET YOU SAID THAT! DON'T THINK THE LAW WILL HELP YOU RIGHT NOW. Right Master?" Lucy shouted, then turns around to the Master giving him a death glare.

"Sure! FIGHT! *hiccup*" Master laughs, he was drunk. Fortunately Lucy knew so she recorded him. A evil grin appears on Lucy's face.

"Uh... Why don't we continue the competition?" The announcer said nervously.

"Oh, Im sorry, continue." Lucy apologized.

"Okay then, this next one is a team competition. We were gonna do individual contests like the previously one with Jellal, but it takes too long, so we change our minds. This next challenge is a little athletic one. It will be an obstacle team race, or at least I think it is. In the end, there will be a fight called, "Survial of the Fittest. Everyone will try to knock out other teams out, the last one wins."

Lucy had an evil grin again then turns to a little kid face. "Hey Erza, lets knock as much as possible, okay?" Erza smiled.

"Yes. Lets do our bes-." Erza was interrupted by yelling from across the room.

"YOU WILL LOSE!." The 'Rune Knights' yells.

"Can you guys like SHUT UP?" Gajeel wakes up from his nap scratching his head.

"Piercing are not allowed in the school." The rune knight guy noticed. "HEY THIS GUY SHOULD BE DISQULIFIED FOR HAVING THEM." He pointed.

Lucy facepalmed. "Can I slap them?" She said very annoyed. The Rune Knight guy heard that, and threw a pineapple at Lucy, luckily she dodged it. (Where they get that? We'll never know.)

But when she dodged it, it hit something.

Or Maybe someone.

Looking pissed off, the little blue-headed petite closed her book, and stood up.

"I WAS TRYING TO FREAKING INGORE YOUR ANNOYING COMMENTS, BUT IF YOU'RE GOING TO GET VIOLENT, I WILL TOO." Levy glared pushing up her sleeves. Everyone was terrified, and surprise to see the petite blue head say that.

"And shut up about the piercing. You're ALLOWED TO HAVE THEM! IF HE WASNT, THEN THE PRINCIPAL WOULD HAVE TOLD HIM TO DO SO, NOW THAT YOU IDIOTS KNOW SOMETHING FOR ONCE, SHUT UP!" Levy yelled sitting back down.

"Even Levy-san broke..." Wendy sweatdropped. Everyone besides Lucy, and Erza nod in agreement.

"They're idiots." Lucy said sitting next to her.

"Good Job shaking the enemy up." Erza said as she gave her a pat on the back. Everyone went silent for awhile until The announcer came up to the stage and cleared his throat.

"We have the results of what the race will consist of. The Race will consist of 5 events, first will be swimming 100 meters, second carrying 2 ton boulder to the next person, then third climb up racks reaching the top. After that, another member will go into an inflated ball and get an item in the middle of the stage. Lastly when all members are finish, they take a boat to the stadium to fight in, "Suvival of the Fittest." The Announcer finished. "Decide what parts is your team going to do. You have 30 minutes."

"Juvia will do swimming." Juvia announced. Everyone shook their head in agreement.

"I'll do the lift weighing then." Romeo said.

"I'll climb the racks since I'm used to them in gymnastics." Lucy said with fire in her eyes.

"So who wants to do the inflated ball thing?" Lucy asks. Everyone looked in thought.

"I'LL DO IT FOR YOU LUCE!" Natsu yells out suddenly.

"Nah, I'll do it. Knowing flame-brain here, he'll screw it up." Gray volunteered.

"What'd you say Ice-Princess?" Natsu said.

"I said you'll screw it up, I know you're an idiot, but I thought you could at least understand English." Gray replied. Before Natsu can say anything else, the announcer went to the stage again.

"There's been a change. Two people will go in the inflated ball, since its more of a challenge. Proceed."

"That's great, now you both will have a chance to participate with each other." Erza said.

"ME WITH HIM?!" They said simultaneously.

"You have a problem?" Erza glared.

"NO SIR!" The said simultaneously again.

"Okay, huddle in." Natsu said. Lucy did what he said, while the others looked confused.

"Why are we huddling in?" Wendy asks.

"Because that's what you do before games." Natsu replies. Everyone then agreed and did that, they put their hands together and yells, "GO TOP TEN!" Then they break.

"Hey, how much time do we have left, anyway?" Lucy asks. Levy looks at her watch.

"Like 15 minutes." Levy replies.

"Okay good. I need to go to the restroom." Lucy said.

"I'll go, too." Erza announced as she went with Lucy.


"Hey Lucy, not to sound rude, but how did you know about the huddle thing?" Erza asks.

"When I was little, I had a childhood friend who would do that ALOT. I guess I unconsciously did it without thinking." Lucy replies.

"Oh. Do you remember her/him?"

"Actually I don't remember much because I lost my memories when I was little."

"Then how do you remember that?"

"Its kind of weird, but when I look at this necklace, I just remember random things." Lucy said as she revealed her necklace from under her shirt. The necklace was a key, decorated with dragons.

"That seems so familiar, but I can't seem to put my finger on it." Erza said.

"Its fine. Some things are better left a mystery. For now, lets focus on the tournament." Lucy said tucking in the necklace.

"Yeah." Erza replies.


They return, and the tournament was about to start in "THREE. TWO. ONE. START!" The announcer yells, and Juvia dives in the water.
