Chapter 9: The Trial Begins
As Gajeel approached the island he placed Levy on the ground "thanks Gajeel! So which route should we take?" Levy asked as Gajeel caught his breath and the stone path faded away. Gajeel looked at the four routes in front of him "hmm how about that one?" Gajeel answered, pointing at route three. Levy smiled and nodded in agreement as she grabbed his arm a pulled him towards their route. When they had entered their route they noticed that the entrance had closed up so they continued on.
Natsu and Lucy had finally reached the island after ten minutes of swimming and they were exhausted. Lucy stood up and looked at the routes "looks like Levy and Gajeel already chose" Lucy said while panting as she noticed one of the routes blocked off. Natsu then stood up and pointed towards an open route "that's our route Luce!" he declared as Lucy turned to see the route had had pointed to. As they entered their route Lucy sighed "any reason you chose route one Natsu?" Lucy asked as Natsu wrapped his arm around her shoulder "because we are number one Luce!" he explained as Lucy cuddled him and Natsu heated up to dry them off while they walked.
As Gray and Gerard dragged themselves onto the beach of the island they were cursing Natsu for melting the ice path that Gray created "I'm going to kill Natsu when I find him" Gray told Gerard as he looked at the only open routes left. Gerard signed "we're the last group Gray, come on we have to catch up" Gerard explained as Gray lifted himself from the beach "let's take the end route" Gray suggested as he pointed at route four. Gerard agreed and the two entered their route.
Natsu and Lucy travelled down their path while cuddling slightly "look Natsu that looks like the end of the route!" Lucy told him as she pointed down the route "Yeah! We got a quiet route Luce! No Erza for us!" Natsu celebrated as he jumped in the air multiple times while holding Lucy, who was just as excited as neither of them wanted to face Erza just yet.
Levy and Gajeel walked down their path but then they both suddenly stopped when they saw someone standing in the middle of the path. The figure in the middle of the path was Mirajane in her take-over form, Satan Soul and Levy shivered a little as Gajeel grinned at this "oh this is going to be fun!" Gajeel explained as he got ready to charge. Mirajane stood there "if you want to continue then defeat me" she explained as she also prepared to charge. Levy watched as the dragon slayer and take-over wizard clashed and suddenly got an idea. She then got out her magic pen and began writing and Gajeel looked over at her with a confused look on his face "Levy what you doing?" he asked as he dodged a swing from one of Mirajane's fists. As Levy finished writing she looked at the two brawling wizards "Gajeel jump now!" she commanded and Gajeel took her order and jumped into the air. Mirajane was confused by this as she watched Gajeel jump into the air but then she looked at Levy and saw the word `Sleep` heading towards her. As Levy's magic word hit her, Mirajane took the full effects of it and fell asleep "it worked!" Levy shouted in victory while Gajeel landed and walked over to her and embraced her "nice one Levy" he complemented her as she began blushing. They then continued on while the s-class wizard lay in the middle of the path.
Gray and Gerard continued to travel down their route but stop when they saw the scarlet-haired knight standing before them. Even though she was blushing due to seeing Gerard in a wet shirt, she began charging at them with one of her magic swords, lowering her head slightly to hide the blush. Gray and Gerard dodged to both sides of the path, Erza turned and began slashing at Gerard but he dodges and when she needed to take a breath he looked at her "Erza" he called her. This caused her to look up into his eyes while noticing the blush on his face "I love you" Gerard confessed as she stood there with an extremely shocked and deep red face. The suddenly Erza passed out from shock and happiness of his confession. Gray just stood there in shock "dude! The hell? You serious?" Gray asked as his mouth hung open from what Gerard had just said. As Gerard picked up Erza and carried her bridal style he turned to Gray "of course I'm serious! Come on Gray we should continue" Gerard suggested as he started walking down the path holding the woman he loved in his arms. Gray followed behind him, still in slight shock about how Erza just collapsed from Gerard's confession.
Eventually all three pairs had reached the end of their paths and met up at where they all connected in an opening. There they found Master Makarov with an unconscious Mirajane lying beside the rock he was sat on. Lucy then noticed Gerard had Erza in his arms "Gerard why is Erza passed out in your arms?" she asked as Natsu, Levy and Gajeel noticed this. Gray then turned to the others "Gerard confessed his feelings to her and she passed out from happiness by the look of it" he explained as Gerard stood there holding Erza.
Then Makarov stood up from his rock "congratulations on passing the first part of the trial" he took a breath before continuing "Natsu and Lucy were the lucky ones and got a quiet route but the other two teams had encounters with s-class wizards" he explained as he looked at the two unconscious s-class wizards. As Gerard placed Erza beside Mirajane, Makarov continued speaking "the next part of the trial is for each pair to go to a different location on the island" he explained as he held up three pieces of folded paper. He then gave one to each pair and explained that they were to go and find that location. Without hesitation they opened their slips and then dashed off after some discussion in their pairs.
Natsu and Lucy were walking through a small forest as they used Natsu's dragon slayer nose to help them locate their area. As they walked Lucy looked around and sighed "I wonder why we had to find a waterfall that had snowy mountains above it? Any sign of the river yet Natsu?" she asked as she watched her boyfriend's nose twitch constantly. Natsu's head then suddenly shot up and he turned his head slightly "yeah I found it come on Luce!" he answered as he grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the forest, revealing a river flowing downwards. Lucy smiled, grabbed Natsu's hand and began to drag him upstream but was slightly surprised when he picked her up, placing her on his back. Lucy blushed at first but then just placed her head on his shoulder as he walked. After a while they found the waterfall and Lucy jumped off Natsu's back so that she could hug him with the happiness of finding their area. Natsu welcomed her embrace with open arms but then realised that Lucy wasn't paying attention as he was losing air. Tapping on her shoulder to alert her, Lucy let go and began to rub his chest as she apologised. As Natsu reassures her that he's okay, a shadowy figure appears from the waterfall shocking them both.
Gajeel and Levy walked across the stone covered plain that they encountered "we should be able to find those ruins quite easily but remember Gajeel there has to be four pillars in the centre of the ruins" Levy explained as she stepped onto a rock. Gajeel turned to reply but then quickly dashed to grab her as he saw her slip on a rock "you okay Levy?" he asked as he held her in his arms. Levy blushed "y-yeah thanks Gajeel" she replied as he travelled across the remaining rocky terrain with her in his arms. After walking for what seemed like forever they spotted a ruin of some sort and as they travelled towards the centre, Levy suddenly wrapped her arms around Gajeel's neck "look Gajeel there are four pillars in the centre of the ruins!" she explained while tightening her embrace. Gajeel kissed her on the lips and as they embrace, kissing each other passionately, in the distance a shadowy figure began to appear beside the pillars.
Gray and Gerard travelled through the dense forest that was located to the west side of the island "Gray is that sword stuck in the stone gold?" Gerard asked as they walked along the narrow path through the trees. Gray lifted his head to look at Gerard who had now stopped "yeah I think so why?" Gray responded with a look of confusion on his face. Gerard turned to look down the path "well looks like we've found it" Gerard explained as he pointed in front of him at a golden light. The two wizards travelled towards the light and found what they were looking for – a golden sword embedded in a stone. They high fived in victory when a shadowy figure rose out of the stone in front of the wizards.
