The second day's first event was called chariot. The mages had to run on top of chariots to the arena. Magic was allowed to be used and any competitor falling down to the ground would be disqualified.

Nox looked around. She was the only woman participating, and was bored. Bored shitless. When the gun shot marking the beginning of the battle was heard, most of the competitors shot forward. Nox did not even bother to move yet, preferring to watch the three dragon slayers fall over from motion sickness. She slowly made her way up to Sting, who was bent over and looked green. She crouched down beside him.

"_do you want me to cast troia on you, Blondie?"

His eyes opened to her, and he looked really sick.

"_you... don't need to... pity me. I can... win this."

"_riiiiiiiight," she said sarcastic. "Naww poor ickle Stingy is sick..." she said in a singsong fashion before grabbing his neck in a headlock and tousling his hair. He grunted. Nox then stood up and skipped ahead. Sting tried to stand back up, but fell down again as the chariot shook particularly violently.

"_Nox!" she turned around, a winner smile on her face.

"_made you mind up, pretty boy?" she walked back to him as the pumpkin's attention turned back to the duo.

"_what is going on at the back?! Why is Nox not running? Does she have, as she has shown us so far, more than one trick up her sleeve? But! It seems she is healing Sting Eucliffe from Sabertooth from him motion sickness!"

Nox had cast the troia spell onto Sting who had lost his green colour and had started to run. Nox jumped onto his back, as she whispered into his ear;

"_run bitch! Run!"

She was clearly mocking Sting, who grabbed her and put her down.

"_girly, that ain't proper."

"_naw, sorry Blondie."

"_do the two know each other?" asked the pumpkin man whilst in Sabertooth's stand, every gaze turned to Rogue.

"_yes, as a matter of fact, they do. And they are great friends. Or more." He said, hinting at something. His friends burst out laughing as suddenly Sting and Nox vanished from sight.

"_huh? Where are they now?!" shouted the pumpkin man, more and more confused. Nox and Sting appeared right in the middle of the amphitheatre, about twenty metres away from the end. Sting was clinging onto Nox for dear life.

"_never... again." He said, looking seemingly relieved to have left the underworld. "That place is messed up! How do you know where to go?"

"_oh Sting! Look!" she said, pointing at the finish line. Both shared a look, before she pushed him over the edge.

"_oopsie daisy, my hand has slipped." She said to a dangling Sting.

"_bitch." He growled back, angered now.

"_naw... don t be like that handsome. Without me you would be back there puking you life out." He pulled onto his arms and rolled back on the chariot.

"_that s not even the right expression." The light dragon slayer replied, face palming.

"_oh, the others are coming. Bai bai." Said Nox, walking to the finish line.

"_hey! Wait up!" he shouted, catching up with her. She turned around, looking at the dragon slayer who quickly jogged back to her level. She then waved her hand and a rune barrier appeared, keeping all the other running opponents from reaching the finish line. She skipped with her best friend beside her and as they were about ten meters away from the finish line, they shared a look.

"_I would say ladies first, "started Sting.

"_but you are an asshole and don't want to lose." Finished Nox. "So um... ready, set, go?"

And Sting took off running. Nox didn't bother with such physical activities and went to the underworld. She jumped out right in front of Sting, tripped him over and skipped to the finish line whilst he was getting back up. As soon as he crossed the finish line, the rune barrier disappeared and the other guys ran for dear life.

"_Nox is once again first, with Sabertooth's light dragon slayer Sting in second place. This is one of the strangest chariot race we have ever seen since the beginning of the GMG! What other surprises do Midnight Fear and Sabertooth hold for us?"

.

This time, Nox was last to fight against Rogue's guild; Sabertooth. The celestial mage from before, Yukino Aguria entered the arena in front of her and took her place at one end as she stood at the opposite one. Yukino bowed to her.

"_despite you being dear to Sting and Rogue, I will not go easy on you." She said in a heartless voice.

"_bah, just do whatever you want kiddo. I don't really mind."

Yukino then drew out the golden key to Pisces gate, and summoned two giant fish.

Nox looked at the spirits, wondering just how much food they hosted when the twin fish split up and attacked her from both sides. She dodged, not even bothering to draw Vazeriel and Yukino summoned Libra. The spirit shook in fear when she saw Nox, and the hooded woman smirked. From behind her, the two fish were about to attack again when Nox jumped even higher, defying Libra's gravitational powers and placed her hands on their heads. She slammed them onto the ground. Seeing the woman was not affected by her spirits, Yukino closed their gates and summoned a thirteenth celestial gate; Ophiucus.

Nox yawned. There was no way this little cutie of a snake was going to stop her. Drawing Vazeriel from thin air, she grabbed her trusted sword and made two katanas out of her. When she snake attacked, she was ready and jumped, cutting the giant reptile in little slices. Yukino looked at her, wide eyed.

"_are you worth anything without your puppets?" she asked. There was no malice in her voice, no spite. It was a mere question. Yukino opened a silver gate and a celestial sword appeared. Vazeriel turned into twin blades into her hands, and Nox waited for the woman to strike at her. Yukino charged.

Nox wasn't taking Yukino seriously, which annoyed Sting and Rogue to no end. Standing up in their stand, the light dragon slayer shouted to Nox;

"_fight her, for fuck's sake! Fucking fight her!"

Nox smirked at them.

"_I wouldn't be so cocky, Mr Twin Dragon Slayers."

Yukino tried a stab, which Nox dodged skilfully. The girl lost footing for a second, which was enough to open the Time to Nox.

Each warrior has a Time. A speed at which they live and fight. Yukino had just broken her Time. And Nox was not going to let that slip by.

Snaking her left sword into the time, Nox applied the blade to her opponent's neck whilst she blocked an oncoming blow with her right. Yukino stopped moving. At every breath she drew, she felt the cold metal dig into her throat. Nox smiled.

"_my win." she said, before slamming the hilt of her sword on Yukino's scalp, knocking the woman out.

Pounding on her door shook the woman out of her reverie. She went to open the wooden panel and noticed the celestial mage of Sabertooth behind it. Immediately Nox caught sight of the tears in her eyes and pulled Yukino inside.

"_what's up?" she asked in a gentle voice despite not knowing how to act around proper humans. She was only used to Rogue and Sting who were half dragons. Yukino opened her mouth, trying to talk before she broke down and fell to the floor.

"_shhh." Whispered Nox into her ear. "Shhh."

"_I am... sorry." She said, cut by sobs. "Rogue. Said that. You. Would give me. A place to stay. At until..."

"_hey, hey. It's fine. If Rogue said so, then you will have a place."

She had finally gotten the girl to lie down and sleep. She had not wanted to leave Nox's room, crying into the pillow. Nox had stayed beside the girl, mentally cursing the shadow dragon slayer for sending the girl to her.

Yukino reminded Nox of Angel.

Shaking her head to get the dead woman out of it, Nox checked the celestial mage was asleep and set in search of Rogue's and Sting's rooms. She was going to have to shout.
