Last time on Of Sand and Spirits
Lucy and Erza quickly fall asleep too, Gray as well, Natsu however...has been asleep the entire time, falling asleep the moment he got back to his hotel room from the arena.
This time on Of Sand and Spirits
Lucy woke up after Erza, who had already left for breakfast. She finishes getting changed and is about to exit her room when;
"Hello Lucy" An unfamiliar voice says.
Lucy turns to meet the eyes of silver and aquamarine haired boy with lilac eyes, normal except for the dragon's tail.
"W-Who are you and why are you in my room?!" She panics.
"Calm yourself, I used my own magical energy to get here, I'm a Celestial Spirit." He says reassuringly.
"A Celestial Spirit?" Lucy says which is answered by Dray holding out his key. "Y-You're a Zodiac?!"
"Yes Lucy, I am the thirteenth zodiac, the dragon Xiaolong. My name is Drayce Xiaolong but I prefer the name Dray" He smiles slightly.
"Why are you here?" She asks.
"I understand you're competing in the Grand Magic Games, I'd like you to use me, but only as a last resort" He says bluntly.
Lucy closes her hand around Dray's key and clips it onto her key ring "Ok Dray..." She smiles as Dray fades away.
Lucy then exits her room and heads down to meet with her friends to get breakfast.
In the arena
All the teams gather in the arena and wait patiently for the announcer to tell them the first match;
'The first event is Hidden!'
'The competitors have be pre-decided by teams!'
'From Blue Pegasus...Hibiki Lates!'
'From Sabertooth...Orga Nanagear!'
'From Lamia Scale...Chelia Blendy!'
'From Mermaid Heel...Kagura Mikazuchi!'
'From Quatro Cerberus...Bacchus Groh!'
'From Fairy Tail...Erza Scarlet!'
The audience lets out a deafening roar of cheers, the poor dragonslayers. The non-competing team members retreat into the audience as the giant city is built within the arena and the large lacrima visions appear.
First Event: Hidden!
Erza, Hibiki, Orga, Chelia, Kagura and Bacchus are dumped into 6 random locations across the giant city.
"Two Godslayers, Lightning and Sky, Orga and Chelia, Orga is most likely a bigger threat than Chelia, she is a child after all" Erza says whilst assessing the situation.
Heading through the winding streets, Orga attacks Erza with Black Lightning Sphere, but it's a clone, leaving Sabertooth at -1 points. Hibiki is struck in the back by Kagura's sword Archenemy, giving 1 point to Mermaid Heel and teleporting the Archive mage away to respawn. Chelia takes down Bacchus with Sky God's Bellow, earning 5 points for Lamia Scale. Erza in her Heaven's Wheel Armour uses Circle Sword to take down Kagura and the respawned Hibiki, earning 6 points for Team Fairy Tail, putting them in the lead. Bacchus blindsides Orga, taking him down, but it was a clone so Quatro Cerberus are now on -2 points. The timer goes off for the end of the round and the scores are;
Team Quatro Cerberus: -2
Team Mermaid Heel: 0
Team Lamia Scale: 5
Team Sabertooth: -1
Team Blue Pegasus: -2
Team Fairy Tail: 6
The announcer roars at the top of his lungs;
'THE WINNER OF THE FIRST ROUND IS ERZA SCARLET! FAIRY TAIL IS IN FIRST PLACE IN THE GAMES!'
The Battles of Day One
It is time for the final battle of the day; Sabertooth's Minerva Orland versus Fairy Tail's Lucy Heartfilia. That day, the other battle results are;
Eve Tearm of Blue Pegasus lost to Mermaid Heel's Beth Vanderwood, Lamia Scale's Toby Horhorta lost to Quatro Cerberus's Rocker and the battle between a Saber and a Fairy is about to begin.
Standing at the opposite ends of the arena, the two ladies are poised for battle.
'FIGHT...BEGIN!'
At the announcer's saying, the two begin their assault on each other.
"Ih Ragdo!" Minerva exclaims as she begins to charge her attack on the blonde mage.
"Open! Gate of The Scorpion! Scorpio!" Lucy exclaims as the dark skinned spirit with the scorpion tail-gun appears.
"Sand Buster!" The spirit yells as he shoots the torrent of sand towards Minerva, knocking her back.
"Pathetic!" The Territory mage snaps as her attack traps Lucy in a bubble of energy.
"Open! Gate of the White Lamb! Aries!" Lucy exclaims as the pink-haired sheep girl appears.
"Now Aries!" She exclaims as she becomes unable to move due to the bubble's force.
"Wool Wall!" The lamb spirit exclaims as she conjures a wall of pink wool between her and Minerva.
"Not going to work pinky!" Minerva screeches as she prepares a spell, moving her hands in a circle "Niel Wielg Mion Terse Elcantaeus: Yagdo Rigora!"
The golden statue appears and is about to strike Aries and Lucy when...;
"STOP THIS!" A voice roars as a dazzling white light shines and reveals a figure; Dray.
"Dray..." Aries says softly as the arena is still with bated breath.
He looks identical to how he is in the Spirit World apart from one thing; a tail. He has a long tail covers in rows of jagged spines and a trident-shaped formation of spikes on the end of it. There are also mounds on his shoulder blades.
"Who are you?!" Minerva growls, her voice dripping with venom.
"My name is Dray, that is all I shall give you since you do not deserve my full name, foul witch" He spits.
"Don't refer to me like that, swine!" She exclaims.
"Don't fret, you'll be dealt with soon enough. Alphard Crusher!" Dray exclaims as he rushes Minerva at blinding speed and punches her with a glowing white fist.
Minerva is launched into the wall, cracking the wall.
"Dimension Slash!" Dray roars as a pair of ethereal blades slash down Minerva, causing her to scream in agony.
"Mercy!" Minerva screams with tears streaming down her face.
"You showed none...so you deserve none!" Dray roars as he raises his arms again.
"Dimensional Combo!" He exclaims as a wormhole appears, he lifts Minerva and throws her into the rip.
She descends rapidly from the sky, but is caught in rapid strikes from Dray, beating her up and launching her away. Drayce then uses Dimension Slash to throw her back to him, where he then finishes her off with Alphard Crusher. Dray then strolls over to Aries and hugs her close to his chest.
"You're okay, aren't you?" He says with a slight smile.
"Sorry for making you worry" She says apologetically.
"It's okay Aries baby" He smiles.
"Thank you Dray" She smiles and the two kiss before Aries is returned to the Spirit World by Lucy.
"I'm always here for you Lucy..." He says before disappearing using his own power, heading back to be with Aries.
'THE WINNER IS LUCY HEARTFILIA OF FAIRY TAIL!
The audience roars with happiness as Lucy exits the arena, sprinting into the arms of Leon.
"You did good baby...so good" He whispers to her.
"Yeah...I really did" She smiles.
Team Fairy Tail go off to celebrate their first victory of the Grand Magic Games, Lucy did well...very well indeed...
