(A/N)- btw, I have a poll up asking which stories you guys want me to start writing. I have many ideas and need help deciding. Don't worry, I'll still finish this one for you all :D

Now here's chapter 9 with new arc!

P.S. - it says football and I mean American Football, not soccer. I apologize if I mixed some soccer and football terms in there.


Chapter 9

New Enemy and Old "Friend"

Normal POV

"It's that time of year again! It's time for the annual Magnolia Super Bowl of X784!" The crowd went wild at the announcer's introduction. "It will be an exciting game today as we see the battle between our defending champions, the undefeatable Warrior Fairies of Fairy Tail!" If it was even possible, the crowd got louder when the two teams entered the field on opposite ends. "And looking to beat Fairy Tail's streak is the uprising Saber Tigers of Sabertooth!" Both teams were equally admired. But the crows always favors the winners.

The two competing sides of the football team and cheer squad met in the center, each wearing their uniforms to represent their colors.

Fairy Tail colors were red and gold. The football uniforms were gold with their numbers in red as well as the symbol on the helmets which they carried. The cheerleaders had a gold crop-top with the red symbol on their backs with a red skirt and yellow spandex underneath. The ribbons and shoes were also like this.

Sabertooth colors were black, and any white was lined with yellow. The football uniforms and cheerleader outfits were the same just with the academy's colors.

As soon as the two teams met, the tension built up dramatically. The crowd could feel it as they quieted down to watch.

Lucy's eyes narrowed on the new Sabertooth cheer captain. "Minerva."

Minerva Orlando. She has a rivalry with both Lucy and Erza. Erza in general, but Lucy for cheerleading. She's a horrible witch to begin with. You can just know by her signature malicious grin. "Hello, Lucy dear. I'm surprised they still let you be captain considering how stupid and clumsy you are."

"I'm surprised they even allowed you to be on the team," Lucy shot back.

Minerva scoffed, "Oh, please. I'm the best cheerleader they got. Our last captain was horrible in leading us, which was why we never won. But with me, we'll dominate."

Lucy glared at her, "Yukino was a much better person than you'll ever be."

"That trash is gone. And soon you will be too." Minerva turned her menacing gaze to the football team, targeting her eyes on Natsu. "You're still captain, huh? That's pretty reasonable since you're decent enough, I'll give you that much."

Everyone was shocked that the Minerva actually complimented someone. Who would've thought that was even possible?

"Just spill out what you really want to say, Minerva," Natsu said. "We all know you never say anything nice let alone compliment someone."

"You may be right," Minerva's smirk got wider. "It may have some kind of reference."

Gajeel suddenly stepped up, sensing where this was heading. "Who's that new player we've been hearing so much about?"

He got his answer from the now co-captain Rogue. Both their red eyes met with a heated rivalry. "So glad you asked, Gajeel." He looked at Lucy. "I'm sure you'll be glad to see him."

The team parted to let the player emerge. Lucy let out a sudden gasp when she saw his face. It's was unmistakably him. The guy she longed to forget but couldn't.

"Miss me, Lucy?"

..."Sting."

Natsu's POV

One little glance at this guy and I already hate his guts. Could be his ugly face with that stupid arrogant smirk. Could be the way he's looking at Lucy. Could be the way he greeted her as if they know each other before. Definitely the last two reasons that allowed this kid to make it to the top of my "people who I want to beat the shit out of" list.

I glanced over at Lucy, catching the expression of her eyes. They were shocked, sad, with a bit of…fear. And I swore I heard a tiny whimper.

That blondie looked at me with those cocky droopy eyes. "So I hope you've been taking care of my Lucy."

My Lucy? Oh hell no. "What do you mean your Lucy?"

"Oh she hasn't told you guys? Well, she's-"

"Shut it, Sting," Lucy sharply cut him off. "I made it pretty clear that you are nothing and gone in my life a long time ago."

"Oh but I'm back now, Lucy." Sting said, taking a step closer. "I'm back." Every muscle in my body wanted to punch the light out of this guy then burn him into ashes, and burn that even further. But it was against the rules to physically make violent contact before the game, even if it is a hard push.

So I did the next best thing. I grabbed Lucy's hand and pulled her away from those disgusting fingers that were about to touch her pure skin.

"Back off, bastard," I sneered. "Don't you dare touch her." I must've done something right because she gripped my hand and moved closer to me.

Sting let out a low chuckle. "Oh I see. So you've moved on. Well I'll get you back. You're mine, Lucy."

"Lucy's not anyone's! She can choose whoever she want and you can't claim her like that."

"So you want her too, am I right?"

I felt a strange heat coming up my face but I forced it down. "I don't care who she wants as long as it's not you."

Sting's smirk grew wider, his eyes turning villainous. "We'll see who Lucy ends up with. And I'll make sure you will lose everything you love."

I showed my own smirk, with a chuckle of amusement, "Oh you're just asking to get your ass whipped by us. Being enemies with Fairy Tail will be your biggest mistake."
