Was this supposed to be easy? This, was the general thoughts going through the members of Fairy Tails backup team. Even the beloved and soft hearted Mirajane thought it was a little too easy.

After hearing the presumed Pumpkin Man speak, Laxus took over very quickly. Even though he was a bit of a hard-ass, he leads very well. At least that was what Kit thought. There was a certain condition Laxus made before he started to take command, Kit was to be the tactician.

At first everyone was surprised at hearing this, not expecting Laxus to well ask for someone's opinion. Laxus knew what he was doing though, even though he had the certain charisma to lead, he did not have the strategical smarts. He was, and still is, known for charging into situations without any sort of backup plan. Yeah, he knew his battle smarts from experience, and he also knew not to charge straight away with no plan.

That was not his problem.

His problem, was not knowing how to settle people into the right position. Where they can do their best. Hence why he asked Kit to be the Tactician. Although a little hesitant at first, Kit decided to agree with Laxus's terms. He quickly made a simple line formation saying it would be easier to stay together and find their way out of the perplexing magic maze.

The formation went like so: Kit would be in the front, using his Direct Line magic to scout ahead and using his sensory ability for nearby competitors. Laxus will be next giving orders on their direction and formation, he will also be able to assist Kit fast enough, if he gets in danger, due to his speed. In the middle, was Gajeel using his magics ranged attacks to defend from all angle. After him was Mirajane, she would give support to anyone needing it her skills with minor injuries due to the bar fights coming into play, this was also the only available location for her. Last was Juvia, if the team was struck in the back than they would aim for the easier target, but because of Juvia's special water magic most attacks would be unthreatening.

They were also given a portion of a map, Kit gave the Idea of stealing, or taking, other maps. Seeing merit in the idea Laxus agreed and both he and Kit worked out a strategy to take the maps.

So, here they were defeating their 7th opposing team. Two of their members were already down due to Gajeel and Laxus performing their skills in hand to hand combat to take the two weak mages down and out. Mira and Juvia entered battle with what looks like the strongest and weakest mages of the group.

Kit was playing mind games with his chosen opponent, leaving him frighten and pissed at the same time. He was Direct Lining all around him, whenever he got close enough he would lean into the oppositions ear and whisper dark nothings. He continued this game until Gajeel, getting a little impatient, knocked the man out with his Iron Dragon's Club.

Giving Gajeel a nod, Kit rolled his eyes at his impatience. "Getting tired, Tin-Head?" Kit asked with a wide grin on his face. Gajeel gave a grunt of acknowledgement, before realizing the insult. Giving Kit a glare worthy of destroying the maze, he started to yell.

"Who the hell are you calling Tin-Head!? You damn bleeding piece of shit."

Getting his blood pumped Kit respond, "Well it looks like you are made of tin, judging by how empty you are."

"Fuck you!"

"Sorry! But I do not swing that way!" Noticing giggling both of the slightly heated men turned towards the direction of the noise. Seeing the rest of their team standing over the defeated bodies of their opponents. Both girls were giggling at them while Laxus had his brow raised in silent question. Both of the men who were arguing earlier turned to each other, gave a nod to one another, turned in the opposite directions and started to grumble about 'Nosy Gossip Girls'.

Laxus walked over giving the team's scout and tactician, and gave him the slightly filled map. Kit added it to their stack of maps and quickly scanned over it. Coming up with a solution, he called everyone over.

"Okay guys! This should be over in a matter of seconds, just grab on to me!" Everyone decided to listen as they felt Kit's largest build-up in magic since they ever known him, "Just try to not release any body fluids on me, and hold on tight!"

Everyone's eyes widened at his sentence, but before anyone could ask any questions they were gone in a flash of colors. As if they never were there in the beginning.

Arriving at the final stretch to the end of the maze, I did a small Direct Line away from my team. Seeing them all hack and cough got a slight chuckle out of me; last minute warnings are the best. Feeling week because of the long jump required for the teleport I started to sway, trying to stay still I put most of my weight on my left leg, to help stabilize my right side. Unfortunately, I put too much weight on it and started to fall to my left. Twisting my left foot so that I was falling forwards, I put my arms out preparing to hit the hard ground.

Getting closer I closed my eyes and prepared for impact. But it never came. Instead I felt a pair of strong arms catch me and yank me up to my feet. Turning towards the owner of the pair of arms, I was surprised to see it was Laxus. Giving him my thanks, he gave a grunt of acknowledgment and started to march towards the exit.

Standing still for a moment I look towards the others of our team. They were giving me death glares.

"Nice warning. Kit." Juvia spoke, with unrestrained rage and venom dripping from her voice. Next thing I knew was that I was running away from three very pissed teammates. Laxus yelled out to us to slow down, but we kept running, well chasing for the other three.

Arriving at the end, we started to slow down and started to march towards the exit. We saw the pumpkin mascot for the Grand Magic Games standing in front of a door that had, in bright colors, the word 'goal' above it. The pumpkin man noticed us and gave a noise of surprise. Getting closer, he started to yell and give off the vibe of excitement.

"What place did we come in?" Mira asked, her voice excited and innocent, despite her defeating the most opposing mages. The pumpkin man gave a huge smile, how he did it with the mask I will never know.

"You came in first place Fairy Tail!" His voice was loud, excited, and had a hint of pride in it. We gave each other a smile as we walked through the door. I cannot wait until the real games begin.

"Are. You. Happy?" Doku asked, I gave a slight start of surprise but suppressed it so no one noticed. Why was Doku able to talk to me more than usual?
