It was now the fourth day of the Grand Magic Games and they were about to announce the event for today. It was Gabby who decided to participate in the event. I shifted my weight from foot to foot in anticipation. For some reason I was nervous Natsu was on to Lucy and I. Why? Well, every time I would glance over at Natsu at the Fairy Tail area, I would catch him staring back at me with his eyebrows furrowed.
As if he was in deep thought.
Pursing my lips I looked over at Lucy. She too was in deep thought, occasionally glancing at Natsu with a certain look in her eyes. I knew that look all too well. It was a look of longing. She longed to see Natsu again, but not as Lea, but as Lucy.
I had the same feeling. To see my nakama again, not as Lulu, but as Cira. Too see Rogue again as myself.
"Are you alright Cira?" A voice asked, snapping me from my thoughts.
Looking down I realized it was Blaze. Everyone, except Lucy, looked at me in worry.
I coughed awkwardly, "Ya," I started, "I'm fine, just thinking."
She gave a frown but nodded nonetheless.
As if one queue Chapati started to speak. "Alright! Today's event is called balance and fight! Please pick your practicing players!"
Gabby smiled, "Wish me luck." She said.
"Good luck." I said.
"Do your best." Rufus commented.
"Don't lose." Was all Minerva said, although she had a smile on her face, meaning she was rooting for Gabby.
"Either way we're cheering you on till the end." Yukino spoke.
Lucy grinned, "Give 'em your best Gabs."
"Of Course I will Lucy!" Gabby responded with a cheeky smile.
Gabby then disappeared down the hallway and reappeared in the stadium. From Fairy Tail Rogue appeared and, looked in are direction. My eyes locked with his crimson, and I stiffened.
I was only now did I see the changes from three years ago to now. His hair was the same, but it did look recently cut. By the same, I mean he had it up, and out of his face only leaving the hair that covered right eye. The thin scar over the bridge of his nose still could be seen, and he wore outfit similar to Natsu's. The one were one arm was covered and the other was seen.
Ripping my gaze from Rogue, I looked at the other contestants. Bacchus, Kagura, Jura, and Ichiya were the other ones participating.
"Alright-kapo!" Mato started, "The rules are simple. Each person will be on top of a high platform. You must knock the other contestants off in order to win. Oh, and they will be moving, but no worries anyone with motion sickness becomes immune immediately.
Tall thick grey pillars burst from the ground underneath those who were participating. My eyes widened in awe. The contestants staggered slightly, obviously not prepared for it.
"Alright-Kapo! Begin!"
Gabby immediately turned to Bacchus. "Daiyamondo doragon no hōkō!" Large shards of diamond bounded at Bacchus, who could only stare.
With a cry Bacchus fell from his pillar and onto the ground below.
"Oh, and Bacchus is out of the game!" Chapati shouted.
"Gabby certainly is strong." Doranbolt commented.
Kagura launched herself in Jura's direction but was quickly stopped when he used his magic too bock it. Ichiya looked at Rogue who calmly stood observing the battle. He was probably waiting to make his move.
Ichiya then proceeded to 'Float' in Rogue's direction, while chanting "Pain Parfume!"
Rogue looked at him unamused, rather slightly uncomfortable. Frowning Rogue launched himself at him, "Shadoudoragon no tsubasa surasshu!"
Ichiya then fell as well.
The sound of someone else falling caught my attention. It was Kagura. She must have lost her battle against Jura. Then again for a short battle he looked pretty beat up.
Jura then turned to Gabby whose eyes narrowed. Jura made the first move using Rock shards. (Made up -_-) Gabby narrowly dodged the attack.
Bounding forward gabby shouted, "Daiyamondo doragon surudoi tsubasa!"
At the last minute Jura dodged throwing his hands out a brown magic circle appeared. Large rectangular pillars shot from the ground and knocked Gabby off of the platform she had just landed on, thus putting us in third place with 7 points. I sighed in a sad manner.
"Geez, at least she did her best." I said to the others. Lucy nodded in agreement.
Gabby shot off the ground angrily, "Damn it!" She shouted. With a huff she than patted down her clothes making dust fly everywhere.
It was now only Jura and Rogue. Rogue's eyes narrowed slightly and he took a deep breath. Jura shifted slightly into a defensive stance.
BONG! BONG! BONG!
I jumped slightly at the sudden bell signaling the end of the match. Whatever attack Rogue was about to use dissipated. Now the score for are Guild was 56 points and Fairy tail now had 56. It seemed that due to the tie FT and Lamia Scale earned 9 points. Lamia was now at 37 points.
I watched as Gabby disappeared into the tunnel below us. I turned my head and watched as she appeared in front of us a pout on her face.
I gave her a smile, "You did great Gabbs."
She let out a sigh, "I didn't win though."
"So," I started, "It doesn't matter, you did get us third place, and besides it was Jura."
"Ya I guess I did pretty well didn't I?" She questioned with a smile.
"Indeed you did." I grinned.
"And now! The first Tag Team battle of the day," Chapati shouted startling me, "Fairy Tail versus….LOVE&LUCKY!"
I groaned in annoyance, "Again? Really?!" We were always set up against them.I than proceeded to sigh and looked at my sister who nodded.
Snow grinned, "Do your best Lucy-san!"
Blaze nodded in agreement while Burner merely grunted.
"Come on Lea," I spoke.
"Right Lulu," She responded.
I stared intently at the two men in front of us. Lucy and I knew who we were going against and agreed that I would get Natsu and her Gajeel. After all her and Natsu were evenly matched. Mostly. Had the battle been longer I don't know who would win.
"Alright-kapo," Mato started, "You have thirty minutes, and If One side isn't completely down by the timer than the team with more members will win, if both teams have the same number of members than each team will receive five points… Begin!"
At the word begin I launched at Natsu who's eyes widened in surprise. Luce appeared behind Gajeel who whirled around in shock.
"U~ōtādoragon hōkō!" We shouted in sync, the attack hit dead on making the two dragon slayers fly into a wall. My twin and I got into a defensive stance ready for the attack.
And it came at us in a large proportion. "Hiryū hōkō!"
"Aiandoragon hōkō!"
I jumped to the side while Lucy jumped upwards, both of us dodging the attacks expertly.
A purple aura surrounded my fist and I lunged at Natsu, fully prepared to slug him in the face. Only I stopped merely an inch away, for a sound had entered my ears.
A familiar sound
Nobody had heard it because I was the only one that had learned Music dragon slaying magic making my ears more sensitive and tuned than normal.
"What are you doing?!" My sister questioned.
I didn't answer; instead I listen carefully for the sound again.
It came again, but closer and in a normal dragon slayers hearing range. It of course caught their attention as I heard Wendy collapse, and Lucy and Gajeel freeze. Natsu had visibly paled. I heard Sting ask Rogue a question, "Do you hear that voice?"
"Wendy!" I heard Carla cry.
I stumbled back and landed on my rear my breathing coming out fast, Bright white eyes flashed through my eyes and I curled into a fetal position.
"What's going on with the Dragons Slayers?!" Chapati asked in confusion.
"Maybe they heard something?" Yajaima suggested.
"I must have frightened them; perhaps we should consider pausing the games. After all, they don't get scared easily." Doranbolt said worriedly.
The sound came again but now it was close. Very close.
My eyes snapped open, and in the far North I could see a Silhouette approaching.
"God no!" I cried, "He's coming! Acnologia!"
