Disclaimer: I don't Fairy Tail...

Minerva's Dimension-Normal POV

The raising smoke swarmed around the place, Loki and Lucy stood there shocked at the large explosion. Minerva smiled at Orga and Rufus, they were pleased with their teamwork.

"Well that wasn't much of a fight..." Minerva chuckled along with Rufus nod of agreement. Orga was singing into his microphone when the smoke began clearing and Lucy could see everyone behind the Ice Shield that Gray had created.

"Everyone!" she beamed and raced towards them with Loki behind her. The Sabertooth members were standing dumbfounded at what they saw.

"How is that even possible...?" Rufus questioned himself. "Minerva didn't you say that it was perfected and destroy anything?!" He was raising his voice slightly and his eyes were narrowly staring at Minerva.

Lucy ran straight into Sting's arms, her arms wrapped tightly around his waist with her cheeks covered in tears. She nuzzled her head into his chest, his strong arms holding her tightly around her waist. Sweeping her off of the ground, Sting pecked Lucy on the lips gently but Lucy wanted more and returned a more passionate kiss. Erza stood there with blank expression while Natsu and Gray had their mouths hanging open. Rouge didn't have much to say since it was a regular thing that he saw in the olden days.

Minerva was fuming from behind, Rufus and Orga had intense stares at what to do with the Fairy Tail members as well as Sting and Rouge. When Natsu, Gray and Erza looked up and stepped in front of the lovey-dovey couple, prepared to go against the Sabertooth members again.

"Let's see how much better you've guys gotten." Gray teased with a smirk at Rufus.

"OHH! I'm getting fired up!" Natsu shouted loudly. His aim directed at Orga who was singing horribly into his microphone.

"Minerva...You will feel the wrath of my swords again." Erza threatened with her glare at Minerva, they were already beginning their battle through their heads. Not moving an inch for a minute,everyone moved suddenly and a explosion was set off in the middle of the battle field. Sting, Lucy, Rouge and Loki stood back, waiting for the dust to settle onto the ground.

Witnessing Erza's swords clashed against Minerva's hands covered in her heat waves, their stares matched each other in the eyes. Gray and Rufus were darted around the place as Gray sent his Freezing Arrows across the whole place while Rufus shot out fireballs. Hitting each of their attacks directly, leaving no damages to any of them. Around them were vapour and water splashing everywhere, it was like a rainstorm around them. Natsu and Orga were going full out in the beginning already. Natsu was being reckless as usually, aiming his attacks everywhere, but with lucky, he burned Orga's right forearm. Making him really unpleasant, he dropped his mic and stared deep into Natsu's intense eyes.

"Hmm... I guess you could be a good fight." he mocked at Natsu, raising his hand into the 'come at me bro' signal. Natsu snickered at Orga, "If you say so..." going full speed at him, his fist engulfed in fists. "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" His fist met Orga's face square in the face, with the huge blow to him. Orga was blown back into a wall, he got up slowly and a cut that was made on his lip was bleeding out quickly. That was going to leave a bruise, but it didn't stop Orga from his counterattack to Natsu.

"Black Lightning Sphere." he said calmly as a large black sphere appeared on Natsu, sending him backwards and crashing into Sting, Lucy and Rouge. Luckily Loki was by them and caught Natsu before impacting a blow on his master. His body was steaming off the electricity he had taken, Lucy was worried about everyone and she decided to join the battle.

"Loki, I'll be counting on you!" she shouted as she raced towards the battle area where Orga was standing. The electricity was still flowing around his body and he had a dark aura around him now. Sting caught up with Lucy and Loki, as they stood their ground, Loki and Sting were in front of Lucy since she didn't have a weapon other than her whip. Natsu was right beside Lucy since Sting wanted to finish things with these guys. It turned out to Natsu that Sting was a pretty decent guy, he actually cared about his guild mates, though Natsy didn't want to admit it but he wanted to get to know Sting better. Natsu felt a little depressed that Lucy had a boyfriend, he had a thing for Lucy for a while... But he was happy that Lucy is always happy around Sting.

Meanwhile with Erza and Minerva, Erza was wearing her Flame Empress Armour to deflect any of Minerva's heat balls. (Half the damage...) Minerva had her face all crinkled and scrunched up from the annoyance that she was having for the last hour. But Erza felt that Minerva's magical powers had risen since they were almost fighting evenly with each other. But Erza still had the upper hand in the battle, easily sending out her blades at Minerva. Though the armour was heavy, Erza moved around quickly, dodging all of Minerva's shots. When Minerva was tired of chasing Erza around with her slow shots, she took up a notch and raced herself into Erza's armor. Erza, who was not expecting that comeback, couldn't brace herself in time for the hot fist that hit her right across the face. Erza clenched her teeth hard as she flew back into the wall, her body slid to the ground and she regained the feeling of her leg. Standing up quickly, she dashed straight at Minerva with her blade pointed right at Minerva. Minerva gripped her two hands tightly in fist, each whelming up heat, their battle cries were loud and strong. They ran at each other, they crossed paths and held their positions with their backs to each other. When a thick stream of the warm ooze leaked out of Minerva's arm, Erza's armor steaming off the heat as a burn was slowly appearing on a gap through the armor. Moving as fast as lightning, they were facing each other with their weapons clashing together.

"Seems like you've gotten better, Minerva." Erza informed through clenched teeth. Minerva only chuckled out a simple reply.

"Well of course. How could I not train myself after what happened at the Games?" their eyes staring deep into each other with hatred and detest. A new battle was already beginning through their minds, with their hands and weapons still pushing at their limits. Erza made the first move, kicking MInerva straight in the stomach and jumped back,away from Minerva who was stumbling back several steps, holding her stomach. She shot her head up and glared at Erza, she raised her hands, forming a large sphere, Erza waited quietly, thinking of the correct time to knock out Minerva. In a few minutes, Minerva had created a heat sphere that could take out an entire village, the two of them had their eyes locked with each other. A sweat dropped from Erza's chin as her only chance of getting Minerva was only a mere second.

"This is the end of the famous Titania!" Minerva laughed and she pulled her arms back, with a smirk, the sphere was sent flying towards Erza.

Erza with barely anytime to react, dashed right at Minerva when the heat ball was a few centimeters away from Erza. Only glazing her cheek, Erza was behind Minerva in a matter of time. Minerva's neck was between Erza and her gleaming sword, her breathing was quick and sweat fell from her chin, onto the blade.

"Seems like you're still lacking in your skills." Erza said in a serious tone. "You better cooperate with me now." Minerva had no choice but to only follow through with Erza's wants, her head could bear nod without cutting her throat.

"Alright. What do you want from me, you hag." Minerva roughly said. Though she feared death, she couldn't show it to anyone. Erza relaxed a bit more, she pushed Minerva onto the stage where Lucy's seat was earlier.

Whispering in Minerva's ear quickly, Minerva's blast in the ceiling stopped everyone in action, all eyes were on her now.

"Tonight's show has ended, shall everyone return safely." was all she said when her body vanished from her position. As well as everyone else's, no one could react to anything and in seconds. Their souls had returned to their bodies.

Natsu's eyes snapped open the moment he woke up, he got up slowly as he rushed to Lucy's side, worrying about how she was. Holding her fragile body in his arms, he gently shook Lucy awake. Whispering her name over and over but a part of his heart broke off when her first words weren't his name.

"Sting..."

But Natsu was relieved that Lucy was alright, Loki's body was also present by her side. He popped up and stared at Natsu, his shoulders relaxed a little knowing that they had returned back into their real bodies.

"Natsu. You better take care of Lucy. I got to rest a little. I'll be back later." Loki said at Natsu, who nodded his head. A light shone brightly and Loki had returned back to the Spirit World, Natsu knew that Loki was also surviving on his own magic to stay be Lucy. When Gray and Erza arose from their collapsed states, they rushed to Lucy's side.

"She's fine. Just resting." Natsu said with a toothy grin. Whereas Sting and Rouge with Happy, Lector and Frosh entered in room through the portal. MInerva was nowhere in sight. Sting ran over to the group with Lucy, while she stirred in her sleep, her eyes fluttered open. A gently smile spread across her face. Her arms grasped around Sting's neck and...
