Chapter 10: The Grand Magic Games and An Unexpected Future
A/N: Hey guys I'm back with another chapter. I'm going to mix up and change the GMG events. I will also have a different way of choosing the contestants. They can choose from the reserved as well. Sorry for the late update. College has been kicking my ass and these long chapters take time.
Everyone had arrived back at the guild the day before they had to leave. The last to arrive was Erza's group along with Wendy, Chris, and the exceeds. The walked through the doors and saw Nathan at the bar. Erza saw him and started approaching his direction. Laxus and Gajeel got in her way.
"We have no quarrel with you Erza, but give Nathan some time. Dragons hearts do not heal so easily." Laxus said crossing his arms and Gajeel doing the same.
"So he told you?" Erza asked looking down.
"Yes. He just needs time. We don't know your side of the story, but just give him some time. Me and Laxus are the only ones he has told." Gajeel replied. Erza nodded and headed to her table. Everyone watched the conversation, but said nothing and knew nothing.
Chris walked over to the bar and took the seat besides Nathan who put on his hood. Mira handed Chris a cup of orange juice and smiled sadly at Nathan. Chris could sense the emotions the woman had for him and figured easily that he already captured her heart and was another mate of his that he has not yet told. He figured Nathan wanted to spend time alone with his first mate first. Chris took a drink of his orange juice.
"Alright, brats I have decided who will be participating in this years games." Makarov shouted from his seat on the bar. "It will consist of Erza, Natsu, Gray, Lucy, and Wendy." Everyone was shocked that Nathan wasn't on the team. "Each guild is allowed to reserves therefore their reserves will be Elfman and Nathan" Makarov continued settling down the guild.
"What about Chris?" Macao asked.
"I have other plans for Chris" Makarov answered. "Now everyone rest. Tomorrow we leave for Crocus" Makarov said getting off the bar. "Chris, Mira, Laxus, Gajeel, Juvia, and Cana follow me" Makarov ushered them to his office.
Everyone wondered what the master wanted, but shook it off as they began heading home. Wendy, Nathan, Ranger, and Carla knew what the master wanted. Wendy headed back to Fairy Hills with Erza while Nathan stayed at the bar with Ranger and Bear.
In Makarovs office:
"You all will be part of Fairy Tail B in the tournament. Chris and Cana will be reserved members." Makarov stated.
"Who will be the fifth member then if Chris and Cana are reserves?" Asked Mira.
"Jellal. He came to me a few days ago and asked. He said he'd help us if we left him take part so he can find the strong magical energy that might be Zeref. He will be dressed as Mystogan" Makarov said looking out his window.
"I will not take part on the same team as that asshole" Chris said clenching his fist.
"I do not know why you hate him. But I do not care either. It will be killing to birds with one stone so you have no choice." Makarov replied.
"I see. Then I shall take my leave. Though, it is not me you should be worried about." Chris said reaching the door. "Make sure to keep him away from Nathan. It won't be a pretty sight I guarantee." Chris said before walking out.
"What did he mean by that?" Makarov asked. Laxus began explaining.
With Nathan and Ranger:
"Hey guys" Chris said jumping down from the second story. "Master was just telling us that we are team B."
"Alright then." Nathan replied.
The others then came out of the masters office and came down the stairs.
"Guys if you need a place to stay you are welcomed to use the infirmary. It's empty so feel free." Mira said smiling.
"Thank you. See you all in the morning." Nathan said walking to the infirmary with Bear in tow. "Goodnight"
"Goodnight" Mira replied with a smile.
"Goodnight" Chris said as well as he headed for the infirmary with Ranger in tow.
"Goodnight" Mira said again.
A few moments later the guild was empty and the four males in the infirmary were sound asleep.
The next morning everyone was in front of the train station buying their tickets. Nathan and Chris were the first ones on the train. They had taken a room one of the bigger rooms just for them when Erza, Natsu, Gray, Lucy, Wendy, and the exceeds decided to join them. Chris and Nathan didn't mind. Except Nathan still was speaking much. A few hours later Nathan was watching the scenes go buy as Wendy was asleep against his left arm and Erza next to Wendy the exceeds next to Erza. Chris was across from Nathan with Natsu Lucy, and Gray next to him. The whole trip Nathan only glanced at Erza once when she wasn't constantly glancing at him.

When they arrived at Crocus a few days later everyone cleared out and began walking down the street. People began laughing at the guild which was starting to annoy them. Chris removed his hood and revealed his hair which caused the crowd to go silent Nathan did the same as the crowd now looked at them shocked. The guild continued walking as rumors were now spreading.
"Those two are rumored to be true dragon slayers." A man said to his wife.
"I wonder if they are still even a match for Sabertooth." A woman said to couple of other woman.
"Are you kidding? They should just give them the trophy and be done with it. Fairy Tail has no chance" One of the other women responded.
"I wonder if they stand a match against the twin dragons?" A boy said to his father.
"We will see son. That's even if they fight." The father said.
Fairy Tail continued to walk. Until Makarov held his hand up. They were in front of an inn.
"This is where we will be staying. We have a curfew of 12am so go out and enjoy the rest of the day."
"I'm going to go sight-seeing." Wendy said cheerfully.
Nathan flashed Chris a glance causing him to nod. "I'll go with you Wendy"
Wendy looked at Chris and smiled. "Okay. Let's go" Wendy said grabbing his hand and walked off.
Nathan walked into the inn and went to his room who he was sharing with Erza, Natsu, Gray, Lucy, Wendy, and Elfman. Chris would be sleeping somewhere else with his team. When he was inside he chose one of the beds closest to the window. Erza then came into the room and he tried his best to ignore her. She pretended not to notice him and started checking the room for bugs. Once she was done she laid down on the bed across from his.
"I'm sorry. It's not what it looked like." Erza said sitting up with a tear in her eye.
"Am I just suppose to believe that?" Nathan asked still looking out the window.
"No, but you of all people should know that I would never betray you that way. I love you with all my heart and yet you still don't believe me." Erza said standing up.
"It hurt me seeing you kiss him. I felt my heart shatter. If you wish to be with him then I shall stay out of the way. Though it will be painful, for your happiness I will endure it" Nathan said sitting on his bed.
"Why would you say that when I clearly said that I love you and that I want to be with you. You are the only one I want. Please don't push me away. Please." Erza said tackling him to the bed and sobbed into his chest. "Please don't leave me like everyone else did when I was a child."
Nathan looked down at her crying into his chest. His heart sank knowing he made her cry and the pain was unbearable. "I love you too Erza. I'm sorry I left without letting you explain. I know you wouldn't betray me, but it was either leave or tear him to pieces and I did not want to kill anyone. Please forgive me Erza. I love you and I will not leave you ever again." Nathan then threw his arms around her. He then use his left hand to tilt her face up. "I've wanted to do this for three months." Nathan said before leaning down and kissing her lips. He kissed her passionately. Erza returned the kiss.
The two then broke apart moments later for air. The battle of their tongues was a tie. Nathan layed still with Erza on his chest as they slowly fell asleep.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
They two woke up several hours later when the door to their room slammed shut. The turned to the door to see Wendy walk in with a bruise on her face and blood on her dress.
"Wendy what happened?" Nathan asked running to his sister.
"Some guys ambushed me and Chris we fought them off and defeated them, but not before one of them stabbed Chris. I was able to heal him, but he still in the infirmary at the stadium where Polyusica is looking after him." Wendy replied with tears streaming down her face. "He took the knife for me. It was meant for me, but he got in the way." Wendy then hugged Nathan.
Nathan pulled her at arms length and looked over her to see if she was hurt anywhere else. Wendy was crying uncontrollably so Nathan held her close. Wendy stopped crying a few minutes later.
"Listen Wendy Erza is going to help you get cleaned up while I wait out here. It's almost curfew so I will visit Chris tomorrow. Also, I will not let you compete until I feel you are mentally ready. Okay?"
Wendy nodded and walked with Erza to the bathroom to get cleaned up. Nathan sat at the edge of his bed and waited for the others to show. Lisanna and Elfman were the first to show before everyone began to enter the room and Nathan informed them all of what happened.
Wendy and Erza emerged from the bathroom a few minutes after everyone arrived showered and changed into different clothing. She ran to Nathan and sat down with him as he held her.
"Elfman you will be competing in Wendy's place for now. I will not let her fight in her mental state until I feel she is ready." Nathan said which Elfman just nodded.
The midnight bell rang and a voice came over the city.
"Alright, this competition is to see who will be in the Grand Magic Games starts it starts once I am through talking kabo" The voice said as a planet appeared above the city. "The first 8 out of the 102 teams to reach the center first will be competing in this years games. You have one hour. Good luck kabo" The voice then disappeared.
Erza, Gray, Elfman, Lucy, and Natsu began running up the stairs that appeared outside their window. Nathan stayed behind to take care of Wendy along with Lisanna Carla, Natsu, and Happy came in a few minutes later. A few moments after that Wendy fell asleep and Nathan layed her down in her bed and kissed her forehead before tucking her in. He then got a chair and sat next to her bed. He told the exceeds what happened and they all layed on her bed and soon fell asleep. He waited for the team to return before falling asleep. Lisanna waited along with him.
The time limit ran out and the team returned.
"Did you guys make it?" Asked Lisanna.
"Yeah, we made it" Natsu said high fiving Lucy before kissing her cheek. Lisanna then looked away. Everyone started high fiving each other.
"Quiet" Nathan said raising a finger to his lips and then pointing to Wendy and the sleeping exceeds. Everyone noticed the sleeping girl and exceeds and nodded.
"Well let us all rest now. Tomorrow the games start." Erza said causing everyone to nod.
They all got into their beds and soon fell asleep. Nathan made sure everything was locked before falling asleep.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The next morning everyone woke up had breakfast and left to visit Chris in the infirmary. He was barely waking up when Nathan walked in alone.
"Seems sleeping beauty is awake." Nathan said grinning. "How you feeling coz?" Nathan asked.
"Is Wendy okay? Is she safe?" Chris asked ignoring Nathan's question.
"Yeah, she's okay she's just outside with the master. She didn't feel like coming in." Nathan said looking at the door.
"Well if she is fine then I'm fine. Those guys were on a mission. If I wasn't there then she'd be the one in this bed." Chris said laying back down.
"Thank you. If it wasn't for you Wendy could have died. I would have lost it and probably destroyed this whole city." Nathan said putting his fist towards Chris.
"Don't get all soft on me. She's my little cousin I'd give my life for her just like you would." Chris said bumping his fist back.
"Well we will go so you can rest and eat." Nathan said turning around. "Before I go I have two questions."
"What are they?" Chris asked.
"Did they say who they worked for?" Nathan asked.
"No just that they were meant to stop us." Chris answered.
"You want to get back into this things sooner than expected?" Nathan asked.
"You bet your ass I do." Chris replied.
"Healing flame of the Angel Dragon" Nathan said causing a flame to appear in his hand before tossing it onto Chris's chest allowing it to sink in.
Chris's wound then completely healed. It was still a little sore, but completely healed. He got up and put on his coat. Nathan lead him to the door before stepping out. Chris followed as everyone stared at him in amazement that he was completely healed. Nathan smiled as Chris pointed to him.
"Now is not time for reunions they will be calling out the teams now so go get ready. Nathan, Chris, Wendy follow me to our stand so we can be with everyone else." They nodded as they followed the master.
"I'm glad to see your okay Chris" Wendy said looking at him. "I'm sorry I'm the reason you got hurt." She said looking down.
"Hey it's okay Wendy. Like your brother, I am willing to lay my life down for you at a moments notice." Chris said ruffling her hair.
"Your just like another big brother. No you are another big brother" Wendy said smiling.
"Sounds good to me" Nathan said smiling.
"Me too" Chris said smiling at Wendy.
They reached their reserved section where everyone was cheering as the teams were now on the field.
"What Fairy Tail has two teams?!" Shouted the announcer.
"Hey, where are the two dragon slayers everyone keeps talking about?" Asked a older man over the microphone.
"They must be reserves just in case. I hope we don't see them in combat. I have heard things about them." The main announcer said again. Nathan and Chris just smirked.
"Seems you boys are well-known. Why don't you give them a show and walk over to your teams. Seems like everyone else has their reserves on the field. There's two for each team so Wendy go as well." Makarov said smiling.
"Yeah go" The first master then suddenly appeared.
"As you say master and former master" Nathan said before jumping down to the coliseum floor along with Wendy and Chris. Nathan and Chris had their hoods on. The crowd went silent.
"Looks like Fairy Tail is sending out their reserves." The main announcer said. "What are the odds it's the two dragon slayers."
Nathan and Wendy walked over to Fairy Tail Team A while Chris walked over to Fairy Tail Team B. They then looked at each other, then at their opponents, and then the crowd. The nodded at each other as they removed their hoods. Everyone gasped at the sight. Nathan noticed another man on Fairy Tail Team B. He was wearing the clothing of a mage he was told about. The man was called Mystogan. Nathan decided to ask the master about it later.
The crowd was silent. "Looks like they will be competing" The announcer said.
"I thought they would." The old man announcer said.
"The first match of the Grand Magic Games will be a battle between Fairy Tail Team A and Fairy Tail Team B!" The announcer shouted.
The Lacrima screens came out at the fans cheered as the faces of Fairy Tail Team A were being randomized. The screen then stopped on Nathan's picture.
"Looks like Nathan from Fairy Tail Team A will be competing first." The announcer said.
The Lacrima screens began to randomize the faces of Fairy Tail Team B's to pick his competitor. The screens then stopped on the face of the man known as Mystogan.
"My it's Nathan versus Mystogan!" The announcer shouted. The crowd went silent.
Everyone then began walking back to their dugouts as a pumpkin man appeared. "This will be a battle. You have thirty minutes Kabo." The man then disappeared.
"I'm sorry for what happened between me and Erza. It was an accident." The man know as Mystogan said.
"Ah, so you're him. I was wondering where I had seen you before. All I have to say is don't hold back and I won't as well. I have forgiven Erza and I will forgive you as well. No matter who wins this battle." Nathan said requipping his cloak off and decided to go with a vest he bought when shopping with Chris before going off to train. The vest was blue with white trimmings, sleeveless, and on the back had a white dragon with a white Fairy Tail guild insignia under it as if protecting it.
"I will give it my all." Mystogan replied.
"Ready!... Fight!" Shouted a voice.
Nathan got into a fighting stance as Mystogan lunged at him. Nathan dodged his knee and elbowed him in the gut and then threw him back. Nathan then covered himself in his white flames.
"His flames are white like the color of my holy power, only his are flames. How can they be mixed?" A blonde man in the Sabertooth stands asked the man next to him.
"I don't know" the man next to him replied.
"You want my all then I'll give it too you." Nathan's flames then began getting brighter. "Beast Unleashment!" (he learned how to do that too without saying the whole thing) Nathan's flames disappeared revealing him in his Beast Unleashment form.
'Such power radiating off him and he isn't at his strongest form' Mystogan thought to himself. "Meteor!" He shouted covering himself in yellow light and moving as fast as a star.
He lunged at Nathan, but he disappeared before he could land his blow and reappeared in front of him. "Missed me" Nathan said smirking before landing a barrage of attacks on the man. "Fist of the Angel Dragon!" Nathan shouted punching the man throwing him into the wall.
Mystogan then came out of the wall and went to the top of the coliseum clenching his gut. 'That hurt like hell' He thought before Nathan appeared behind him and kicked him to the ground. "Roar of the Angel Dragon!" Nathan shouted sending a beam of white flames at his causing an explosion. When the smoke cleared it revealed Mystogan laying down before getting on his knees. Nathan then floated down to the ground. "I'd stay down if I was you."
"Not a chance." Mystogan replied throwing his hands in the air and magical power started gathering up around in the sky above him turning it dark.
"I see. Putting all your power into one attack. I must admit it feels powerful. Bring it" Nathan said standing perfectly normal and closed his eyes to gather his own magical power.
"Grand Chariot!" Mystogan shouted throwing his hands in Nathan's direction.
Before the magic hit Nathan opened his eyes. "Roar of the Sky Angel Dragon!" Nathan shouted as his roar was combined with that of Wendy's sky dragon roar and pushed the attack back without fail. Once the attack was over Nathan lunged at Mystogan "Fist of the Sky Angel Dragon!" Nathan shouted as his fist were mixed with Wendy's magic hitting Mystogan in the jaw and sending him into the wall knocking him unconscious.
"H-he pushed his power back and defeated him" Natsu said wide-eyed in shock which looked like everyone elses in the coliseum even Sabertooth except for Chris and Wendy and their exceeds who just smiled.
"Nathan walked over to Mystogans body. I forgive you" Nathan said throwing him over his shoulder.
"The winner is Nathan Marvell of Fairy Tail Team A!" The announcer shouted as the crowd went wild. "This puts them in first place and with the first points of the games!"
Fairy Tail then began cheering louder than the audience of the coliseum. "We are one step closer!" Makarov shouted.
Nathan carried Mystogan to the infirmary where he placed his Healing Flame of the Angel Dragon over his chest clearing his body of any wounds though it would not wake him up from his unconscious state. He then made his way back to the dugouts.
He reached the dugouts where everyone was already watching the second match of the day. Gray was competing in some hide and seek game.
"Just how strong have you gotten these last three months?" Asked Natsu.
"Should have trained with me and you would know?" Nathan said watching the match.
"You could have killed him easily you know." Wendy said standing next to him.
"It's not in me to kill anyone my friends care about." Nathan replied.
"Nathan when this is all over fight me" Natsu said holding up a fist.
"I'll think about it. How's Gray doing?" Nathan asked.
"Not so well." Lucy replied watching the lacrima screen.
"I see. Hope he gets us some points." Nathan said. "Gray you bastard kick some ass you lazy ice bum!" Nathan shouted.
"Yeah, come on you ice stripper!" Natsu shouted.
"On top of the building. There's a man... Look" Erza said pointing to a building.
"What's he doing?" Asked Wendy.
"I have seen and remember everything." The man said spreading his arms out as blasts shot at his opponents hitting every one of them.
"That guy. He just took everybody out." Natsu said shocked. "I c-can't believe it."
"Just how powerful is Sabertooth?" Lucy asked nobody in particular.
"I don't know, but we can't be afraid of them. We have to keep going for our friends." Natsu said holding up a fist.
"It seems as though this match is over! The winner is Sabertooth!" The announcer said.
"Natsu come with me. We will talk with Gray." Nathan said walking into the tunnel behind them while Natsu followed leaving the others standing there.
Once Gray is in the tunnel he strips over his coat and then punches the wall. "Damn. I lost. How can I look in the faces of my friends."
"It's simple. Just look up" A voice rang from the dark tunnel as Nathan and Natsu appeared.
"I failed you guys. I lost" Gray said looking down.
"You didn't fail us. You may have lost, but you did not fail. Failing is when you don't try." Nathan said walking up to Gray and put a hand on his shoulder. "You fought to the best of your advantage. Whether you win or lose it does not matter. Your friends are still behind you."
"Yeah, now cheer up ice stripper" Natsu said grinning.
"Shut up flame brain" Gray said smirking.
"Now let's go back with the others. The last match is about to begin." Nathan said walking away while the other two males followed.
They arrived back to their group just as the last match of the day was starting. It was Sabertooths Orga vs Battle Cry from Quatro Cerebus. Orga won immediately with one blow and then began singing.
Finally match of the day involved Ichiya. Nathan didn't bother listening to the rest of the match. He simply had other things on his mind. In the end the battle was decided that Ichiya won.
The first day of the games was over and everyone returned to their inns, before going out for the rest of the day. Nathan and Erza stayed in the room. Nathan was taking a shower while Erza joined him. Nobody else was in the room. Natsu and Lucy went to lunch with Gray and Juvia. While Wendy and the exceeds went with Levy and Gajeel to the bookstore and then to get some lunch. Chris went on a secret date with Meredy. She painted her hair a different color in order to get around town without being recognized. Everyone else was out doing their own things.
Once they were out of the shower and dressed Nathan and Erza ordered room service and were now laying on Nathan's bed watching the sunset through the window.
"Erza I want you to have something dear to me. It's just as powerful as mine, but I want you to have it. I took it from a dark requip mage two years ago when I face a dark guild. Back then it wasn't strong, but me and Chris practically welded it back to gather with my magic." Nathan said grabbing her right hand in his left one.
"What is it?" Erza asked as a low light appeared in their hands and she felt something else in her armory.
"I named it the Rose sword" Nathan said. "Take it out and look at it."
Erza raised left hand up and said "Angel Dragon Rose Sword" A sword that looked like his appeared the only difference was that the dragon on the sword was surrounded by roses. The end of the hilt was a round circle that was engraved with a shouting dragons face. Erza admired the sword and how light it felt and the magic power come off of it. She looked at Nathan who smiled at her.
"It's all yours. I'll cut any opponent down to size" Nathan said kissing her cheek.
There was a knock at the door and Nathan knew it was room service. He opened the door and saw Cana and Mira standing in the hallway. They both stared at his shirtless torso with a faint blush on their faces.
"Cana, Mira umm... Come in" Nathan said stepping aside.
Erza walked up to them with her new sword with a wondering look on her face. "Cana, Mira what are you doing here?"
"We need to all have a talk. I over heard a conversation between Gajeel and Levy and I want some answers. Sorry we want some answers" Cana said pointing between her and Mira.
"Answers about what?" Nathan asked walking to grab a shirt to put on.
"We want to know why you chose Erza to be your mate instead of us?" Mira asked blushing.
"Oh." Erza said looking at Nathan.
"I had no control over it at first, but for some reason my heart lead me to Erza first. I was meaning to tell you guys." Nathan replied.
"When?" Cana asked with a curious look on her face.
"When the time was right, but I guess now is as good as any time." Nathan said walking back up to them. "Take a seat"
As Nathan was explaining to the girls outside the hotel a hooded figure was staring at the inn. "Haha your end is almost near Fairy Tail"
Back to Nathan and the girls
"So that's exactly how it happens." Nathan said shrugging.
"So when were you deciding to mark me?" Asked Erza
"So we are all you mates? So we are all going to be with you?" Asked Mira.
"So that's how we were able to get so attached to each other?" Asked Cana.
"Erza I was planning to, but all this started happening. Yes Mira, well that's if you want to. Cana that's part of the reason, but it's mostly because unlike the other men that were in your life I was the one who listened to and show actual emotion to you. If you think I don't care then go ask those guys what happened after I found out." Nathan said answering all their questions.
"So we are all in a relationship basically and we all can sense your magic and your ours and we all have an emotional attachment to each other?" Mira asked.
"Short answer yes. But only if you have my mark. We can even talk telepathically." Nathan replied.
"Then mark us all right here, right now. I can't stand just seeing you with just Erza anymore. It hurts knowing she's getting all your love and affection" Cana said pulling out a bottle of booze from no where.
"If you want that to happen then stop drinking every chance you get. I know it's who you are and I hate changing you. But, with my dragon mark on you you'll never get drunk again and I can't have you going around drinking non-stop I need you to control yourself." Nathan said taking the bottle away from her.
"Erza aren't you a bit upset that he's basically agreeing?" Mira asked.
"Not really he told me about the bond and how you two were also going to be his mates. I had to promise not to attack you before knowing. Though, I don't mind sharing him. I know he won't love me any less than he'll love either of you." Erza replied.
"Also, if any of you are being lovey dovey with any other man I'll know and my protective instincts will kick in. That I have no control over. Though when you are competing my instincts will allow you to battle. But, if anything happens after or before the battle my instincts will react. Also the lovey dovey part affects me during the match as well." Nathan said looking at all three of them.
"Oh, well I'm fine with that." Mira replied.
"I never do that." Erza commented.
"Well I'm probably not going to take part in the matches." Cana muttured.
"If you all are sure about this then fine. Once your marked though there is no going back." Nathan said.
"Let's do it" All three girls said in unison.
"Alright, it might hurt a bit" Nathan said walking up to Erza first before kissing a spot on her neck and then sinking his sharp teeth into her pouring magic his magic into her and then slowly withdrawing, but no before kissing the wound. No blood was spilled. He then did the same to Mira and Cana.
The three girls then felt a surge of power race through their bodies. After a few moments the sensation was gone.
"So what now?" Mira asked
"We rest for tomorrow." Erza said feeling the spot on her neck.
"Also, you all now have my scent on you so other dragon slayers can know you are taken." Nathan said sitting on his bed. "I feel spent. That took a lot of energy out of me. Wake me when tomorrow comes." Nathan said laying down and passing out.
"Wow, I've never seen him look that tired. Even after doing it a few times" Erza said forgetting the other girls were there for a second before feeling their presence within herself.
"Wow, never knew you had that kind of stamina Erza" Mira said smiling sweetly.
"Yeah, how long does he usually last?" Asked Cana now staring at his sleeping form.
"Usually until I can't take anymore or all night after I take a few breaks." Erza replied not feeling at all embarrassed in front of the other women.
"I see. So he can handle all three of us on a good day" Mira smiled demonly.
After Mirajanes comment the three girls decided to lay next to Nathan on his bed and fell asleep as well. Nathan felt a strong presence waking him up, before jumping of the balcony of their room and flew towards it leaving the three girls shocked.
With Wendy and Chris.
Wendy walked out of the bookstore with the exceeds as Levy was paying and Gajeel was holding the mass of books she bought. Wendy was walking when a hooded figure appeared in front of her and had a evil grin.
"Your time is almost up Fairy Tail. Prepare yourselves for something you can not stop. You all will die. You will tremble in fear and will fall in pain. You will perish from the earth. I remember you screaming in pain as your brothers watched you die by my hand." The hooded figure said.
Wendy was scared at the statement the man just made, but remembered what Nathan told her during training.
Flashback: One month ago
"Wendy no matter how much fear you feel accept it and use it to your advantage. Hold your ground and face it head on. A moment of boldness is all that is needed to show the true strength you hold within. These are the words of Rose." Nathan said looking out over a field of creatures. Wendy looked at him eyes full of fear and fire of determination.
Flashback end.
Wendy looked at the man. Lily, Ranger, and Bear already in their battle forms. Wendy put a
"No matter what you say. You hurt our guild you face us all. You hurt me then may the gods pity you, because my brothers won't show your mercy especially Nathan." Wendy said with eyes full of fear and fire of determination.
"Haha, act tough girl and I shall show you what you should fear." The figure took a step forward.
"I'd listen to her if I was you." Gajeel said dropping the books he was holding.
"Haha Gajeel, good to see you again. Last time I saw you, you had my sword in your back as you little girlfriend cried." The figure said taking another step.
"What are you talking about?" Levy asked.
"I hail from the future to make sure my plan follow though." The figure said taking yet another step towards Wendy. "Now, where was I?" The man asked.
"You were just about to walk away from Wendy, before I ripped your heart out." A voice said causing everyone to look up as Nathan landed in front of them.
"Ah, Nathan always willing to resort to such violence to protect your little sister." The figure said.
"I don't care who you are or what you want. Leave or I will keep my promise" Nathan said as his eyes turned completely black.
"What is this? You have never done this before?" The hooded figure said a little scared.
"Then I must not have been trying." Nathan said as magic power started radiating off of him. "Now leave and I will spare you"
The figure stopped in his tracks and backed up a few. "We will meet again soon. Gladiator" The figure said before walking away. "The was the name they gave you in the future after your death." The figure then turned a corner and disappeared.
Nathan turned to Wendy and looked her over as his eyes went back to normal. "Are you okay?" Nathan asked with a worried expression.
"I'm fine thanks to you guys" Wendy said hugging Nathan then going to hug Gajeel and Levy and then the exceeds.
"No bigs Wendy. You like a little sister to us all. Especially the dragon slayers. We all stick together." Gajeel replied. Mr. Badass showing a weak spot for the young dragon slayer.
"Looks like you had older brothers since you joined the guild Wendy" Nathan said walking up and ruffling her hair. "Let's get out of here and back to the inn before the sun goes down." Nathan said helping to pick of the pile of books Gajeel dropped and then leading the group back to the inn.
When everyone returned to the guild everyone else had already returned. Wendy told everyone what happened and they all decided nobody will go anywhere alone and they will all carry communication cards. Wendy was to be with Nathan or any of the dragon slayers at all times as they all worried for her safety the most.
Nathan walked with Wendy back to their teams room. Once inside she went to shower. Nathan had Freed put runes around the room just in case anything were to happen. After about another hour and a half everyone was asleep. Nathan switched beds with Gray so he could sleep next to Wendy.

The next morning Nathan woke up before everyone else and decided he should workout so he then began doing push ups and sit ups. Natsu woke up next and joined him. Nathan and Natsu then engaged in a push up contest which they tied when breakfast arrived. Once breakfast was done the team got ready and headed for the coliseum. Day two of the games.
"Welcome to the second day of the games!" Shouted the announcer who was next to the old man who Nathan found out was a former council man Yajima and a Fairy Tail fan who was rooting for them.
"Today's competition will be Chariot!" The announcer shouted causing the crowd to roar with excitement.
"I got this one" Natsu said jumping down.
"If Salamander is going then so am I" Gajeel commented jumping from his dugout.
"They really don't think before acting do they?" Asked Chris. "It obviously has something to do with transportation and they will get motion sickness"
"How come you don't get motion sickness?" Asked Mira.
"It took a while to master. Nathan and I spent our whole savings at the time just constantly riding on trains back and forth non-stop until we were able to conquer it. Same thing with boats" Chris replied.
"Good luck Gajeel, Natsu!" Shouted Wendy who was standing in between Nathan and Erza.
After everyone was on the field they were then teleported out of the colliseum and down the road. A line of chariots leading to the colliseum appeared just as everyone feared.
"Idiots!" Shouted Gray.
"The first one back to the guild without falling off is the winner. Their is no magic restrictions. Whoever falls off is disqualified!" Shouted the announcer. "Start!"
The match began. Sabertooths Sting along with Natsu and Gajeel then became motion sick.
"I guess all dragon slayers get motion sickness. Well almost all of them." Lucy said to nobody in particular.
"Come on flame brain!" Gray shouted at the screens.
Natsu and Gajeel started crawling their way up the chariots as everyone else was already more than halfway there. Natsu started giving a speech as the Sabertooth mage just watched their dedication. Fairy Tail started cheering along while Nathan was still scanning the crowds just in case. Chris was searching the stands as well.
After about an hour Natsu finished followed by Gajeel. Natsu who was still feeling the effects motion sickness lay on the grown as the match ended.
After about half an hour the next match was chosen. The lacrima screens then began to shuffle through the guild landing on Quarter Cerebus vs Fairy Tail A
"Looks like it's Fairy Tail A vs Quatro Cerebus!" Shouted the announcer.
The lacrima screnes then began to shuffle through the team members landing on Elfman and Bacchus.
"It's Elfman vs Bacchus!" Shouted the announcer.
"Winning this fight is man!" Shouted Elfman as he jumped down into the arena.
His opponent did the same. "Both are now in the coliseum. Start!" The announcer shouted.
The battle began to take place. The fight went back and forth exchanging combinations until Bacchus got the upper hand after drinking the alcohol in one of his earings. He began to move at extreme high speeds. Nobody could keep an eye on him. Only Nathan and Chris could. This is what they trained for. To give their guild the upper hand. Elfman was taking a beating until he landed a lucky hit and began his onslaught. In the end Elfman won defeating his opponent. Though he took extreme damage himself. He was then carried to the infirmary.
Another match was being decided before Fairy Tail Team A visited Elfman in the infirmary. Next match was Mira vs Jenny the reserve member for blue Pegasus.
When they returned to watch the competition between Mira and Jenny everyone became shocked as it became a bikini battle. Nathan was trying his best to control his outrage, but lost it when Cana and Erza joined the competition even though it didn't count if they did. Everyone from Fairy Tail who were left in the dugouts began to feel and see the dark auras of the male dragon slayers. The competition continued and then dragged the dragon slayers and all the males from every team into the competition. Nathan was wearing a black coat with black pants and shoes and a white dress shirt underneath. He thought he looked rather good. Erza was his bride which caused him to flush a little red. Mira asked the master which he felt nothing against.
As the match continued causing everyone to cheer a huge magical presence sky rocketed from the castle causing everyone to become stunned.
"Everyone calm down!" Shouted the announcer.
A dragons roar was heard and everyone then began to panic as a huge figure flew over the coliseum. The dragon was the same dragon from 7 years ago that sealed Fairy Tail away on that island. Other giant dragon figures began to follow and began attacking the city. Without a flinch the dragon slayer proceeded to vacate the coliseum and head for the city.
After several minutes the knights began to evacuate the city as best as they could along with the fans in the coliseum.
"What's going on?" The announcer asked as a group of knights came to escort him and the other announcers to safety.
"Dragons are attacking the city we have been informed to escort you to safety." The leader of the knights said escorting the announcers out of the coliseum.
All the mages began to run towards the city evacuating civilians. Even some of the Sabertooth mages were helping. The Twin Dragon Slayers were two of them. Raven Tail left the area in a hurry not wanting to get involved in the mess.
As all the mages regrouped together along with the Fairy Tail Dragon Slayers who ran off earlier. The injured mages were there as well.
"Listen I know we don't like each other very much and we were brought here to defeat each other, but right now we need to protect and rescue any civilians left in the city and escort them to safety. We need to defeat the dragons in order to save the country. We need to work together. If you wish to leave then we will hold nothing against you. We need to protect our homeland. We can settle the rest of differences later!" Nathan shouted standing in front of the mages.
"Mermaid Heel is with you!" Shouted the mages from Mermaid heel.
"So are we!" Shouted Lyon from Lamia Scale.
"Us as well" Sting from Sabertooth managed to say.
"Don't forget about us. Men!" Ichiya from Blue Pegasus said taking a pose.
"Time to get a little wild!" Shouted Quatro Cerebus in agreement.
"Alright then. You all can split into groups. Watch each others backs." Chris said looking at the battle field.
"Who put you two in charge?" Asked Sting a little angry.
"You got a problem with that?" Asked Chris and Nathan looking at him with completely black eyes.
"N-No" Sting replied a little scared.
"Now let's go. I will battle Acnologia alone." Nathan said walking in Acnologias direction. "Anybody who goes with Wendy better protect her or I will kick your ass myself. Same goes for those who go with our mates."
"Me too" The male dragon slayers said in unison.
"To battle!" Shouted Erza as everyone ran towards the city in different groups.
Wendy ended up with Erza, Mira, Carla, and Chelia. Cana went with Lisanna and Jet and Droy. Gajeel and Levy were a group. Natsu and Lucy along with Happy, Bear, Ranger, and Lily were a team. Laxus went with Ariana. Juvia went with Gray, Lyon, and Sherry. Elfman ran off with the thunder god tribe. Master Makarov went with the other guild masters and Jura. Blue Pegasis stayed together. Sting and Rogue stayed together. Everyone else split into more groups.
"Hey your not fighting the son of a bitch alone. You know that!" Chris shouted running after Nathan
"I know!" Nathan shouted running in Acnologias direction.
After several minutes the entire city was a battle field. Not a single mage was left out of combat. Even Crime Sorciere got involved. Chris and Nathan arrived at the location Acnologia was. The dragon was perched on the top of the castle.
"Hey get down here you pieced of shit!" Chris shouted.
Acnologia returned his remark with an angry growl.
"Remember me?" Nathan asked as Acnologia shifter his gaze. "Of course you do. Now it's time for you to pay for what you did to Rose!"
"Beast Unleashment!" Shouted the mages in unison as their magic power erupted shaking the ground.
A/N: Sorry I changed the entire story and even literally ended the games. To me they would take some extra time to write and I decided to mix it up a bit. Well a lot. I hope you enjoyed the chapter and I hope you enjoy the next one. I will do my best to add a lot of action. Though it will be mostly the OC's fight with Acnologia.
