"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the Grand Magic Games! I am your referee this year as well, Mato kabo!" the pumpkin man said from the middle of the arena. There were cheers and fireworks all over the place. A lot of people came excited to see the guilds this year too.
"Let's see who entered in the games." Raidon said as he and his team waited in the backstage to enter. They were the first after all!
"Let's begin! Starting with the eight team! The guardians at the hell's gate, Quatro Cerberus!" The commentator shouted as the guys from the last year, this time with Bacchus in lead entered the stadium.
"Moving on, here we have the winner from the last year! The strongest guild! The fairies that know no bound to time, Fairy Tail Team A!" he shouted next as Erza, Natsu, Gray, Gajeel and Juvia came out in the cheers of the crowd.
"Next are the enchanting girls from the deep of the ocean, the all-women guild, Mermaid Hell!" he said and the crowd, mainly males, shouted at their sight. Kagura stepped proud and waved with a smile at Erza together with Miliana in her back.
"Continuing, there is the goddess of love and destruction, Lamia Scale!" Lyon, Chelia, Sherry, Jura and Yuka came carrying their flag and waved at Gray and Juvia.
"The wings of fashion in the magic world, here we have…. Blue Pegasus!" Ichiya, Jenny, Ren, Eve and Hibiki came out.
"Men~" Ichiya shouted as usual and went towards Erza just to be punched meters back.
"The former strongest! Will they be able to get back the title this year!? Here we have the predators in the jungle… Sabertooth!" Sting, Rogue, Yukino, Rufus and Minerva came out with pride.
"Erza." Minerva said with a slight smile.
"Minerva." Erza said pleased too. They went between Sting and Natsu and Gajeel and Rogue too.
"We won't lose this year, Natsu-san!" Sting declared.
"You can try! We'll be keeping our position!" Natsu said back fired up.
"The second team of Fairy Tail! From the guild which managed to get both their teams in the Games! Here they are! Fairy Tail Team B!" Mira, Laxus, Freed, Elfman and Mystogan came in as the crowd cheered.
"Let's have a fair game." Mira said with a smile.
"Still… there is one more guild, right? Who…?" Freed asked.
"Ah, I think we know that answer." Erza said pleased.
"And here is the first team to finish the Pyramid! The flowers scattered in the heavens, the first appearance of this newly established guild… here we have…. Hundred Tales!" he shouted and Lucy, Eiji, Raidon, Miyuki and Akihiko came out, Raidon holding their flag up in the air as the crowd cheered seeing them on the first place. They heard a little about this guild, the mysterious guild that has its base in the capital. They were both strong and mysterious.
"You can just give us the prize already!" Raidon shouted laughing.
"Oh! They're these guys from yesterday!" Natsu shouted and then realized what he said. "Oi, wait a moment! We're going to win!"
"Oh? Oh! You're Fairy Tail!" Raidon said with a smirk. "Sorry but we'll have to take your place." He added and that made Natsu's blood boil a little.
"Natsu."
"Raidon"
Two women with demanding presence said behind their teammates backs with a deadly aura as if to say 'do not begin anything or you die'
"E-Erza?" Natsu giggled nervously as he turned.
"Yes, Lucky dear…?" Raidon turned with the same kind of reaction. The next moment they were brought back in silence, let's not mention the pain they felt in their head now, shall we...? Lucy bowed her head.
"I'm sorry for him. He gets excited very fast." She said to Erza. Erza bowed her head as well smiling.
"It's alright. Our Natsu does the same. I'm glad I get to see you here. I hope we'll get to spar in a fight." She said feeling the strength of Lucky.
"That wouldn't be bad indeed." She said.
"Oh, are you the ice-maker of Fairy Tail? How naughty…." Miyuki looked and giggled at Gray who was now in his boxers.
"When did this happen!?" Gray shouted as he freaked out. Once again… he appeared naked in public.
"Love Rival!" Juvia shouted from distance with flames in her eyes while looking towards Miyuki.
"Hmm… so these are the said strongest… They don't seem anything special to me." Eiji said near Akihiko and Raidon.
"Huh! I know, right!?" Raidon smirked.
"You're too loud." Akihiko advised.
"Hey, you freak! Maybe these guys aren't so strong as me, but they are from the same guild!" Gajeel shouted towards Eiji as he came to pick a fight.
"They're obviously underestimating Fairy Tail. Tch!" Laxus said as he came near together with Freed.
"Laxus-sama! Show them your power!" Freed said moved.
"Laxus? As the lighting dragon slayer Laxus? Now things get interesting…" Raidon smirked.
"Raidon. Don't say anything useless." Akihiko warned. "Lucky wouldn't want that either."
"Lucky-chan!? Mou~ My lips are closed then~" he said in the doggy form at the sound of his crush's name.
"Well then, now that we have all teams present, shall we introduce the program of this year?" a commentator said.
"Yes, let's do so." The other said and a big stone sprung out of the ground like the last year. "It seems the program is pretty much the same as last year."
"Well… there aren't many things changed to say the truth. But I heard that this year is going to have lots of challenges of different scales. Please look forward to it, everybody!"
"So they're having a battle each day?" Akihiko asked as he saw the stone.
"It should mean we all get to fight. That's cool!" Raidon shouted happy.
"One of us per day just in the battle." Miyuki murmured thinking.
"I wonder which one of us will go today. I sure hope it's me! I'm striving to some good fun!" Eiji shouted getting excited.
"It's chosen by chance. Even you could get to fight today. But this game… what would Cage of Babel be?" Lucy wondered.
"We will explain the rules first so could everybody get to their stands please?"
"Explain the rules?" Chelia asked confused as many others did, but eventually everybody went to their places.
"Well then, let us explain. Cage of Babel is a game where the player's objective is to reach the cage where the BIRD is. Still, to reach that place you must first gather FEATHERS. These FEATHERS are keys to unlocking the cage and thus releasing the BIRD. The one reaching the BIRD first and releasing it is the winner of the game. The rest of the score will be made from the number of FEATHERS gathered and distance left until the cage. It's a simple game where the KNIGHTS race towards the BIRD!" the rules were explained.
"Why are they telling us the rules, it's obvious we will choose the best for this kind of race." Erza thought.
"That's right. I think Natsu would be the best for this with his nose. He could tell which FEATHER is genuine." Gray mentioned.
"Oi! I'm here too!" Gajeel shouted.
"Gajeel! Don't yell at Gray-sama!" Juvia said back.
"But what is that BIRD anyway? Is it some kind of animal or food or something?" Natsu asked clueless.
"Maybe it is an animal…" Erza thought.
"Well then, we will choose the BIRD now." The commentator said and everybody looked confused.
"Choose? What does that mean?"
"Is the BIRD one of the players?"
"That wouldn't be very fair would it…?"
"No, no. The BIRD is an extra player. You could say that the BIRD plays the role of princess trapped in the tower. It's not unmatched at all. After all, the BIRD doesn't do anything specific." The commentator said back.
"Then what's its role…?" Lucky sweat-dropped.
"Perhaps to make the audience more excited." Miyuki giggled. On a big screen the faces of every member participating from every guild appeared one after the other.
"Let's see! Who will be the BIRD!?" the commentator shouted and the audience exclaimed as the screen began to show the faces slowly until it stopped on Lucky. "Lucky Goruden as the BIRD!"
"Me!?" Lucky shouted but Miyuki pushed her on the edge.
"Good luck, BIRD!" she shouted as Lucy landed gracefully.
"I'll remember that." She murmured and walked in the middle of the arena, everybody exclaiming.
"She is the BIRD? Why does she feel familiar though…?" Sherry began to think but it didn't click any idea.
"Oh, and I hoped I would see her use her magic." Erza said with a small smile.
"You took an interest in her, Erza?" Gray asked.
"Maybe. She doesn't seem like a bad person." She said back.
"And let's see the KNIGHTS! Our dear king of Fiore choose them personally."
"WE don't get to choose!?"
"Do you think we'd tell you the rules if you did? Hehe… let's see! From Quatro Cerberus, Jager! From Fairy Tail Team A, Erza Scarlet! From Mermaid Hell, Kagura Mikazuchi! From Lamia Scale, Lyon Vastia! From Blue Pegasus, Hibiki Lates! From Sabertooth, Rogue Cheney! From Fairy Tail Team B, Laxus Dreyar! And from Hundred Tales, Raidon Kaminari! KNIGHTS, please step forward!" Mato shouted and the crowd cheered.
"Hey, don't you think they choose the most handsome ones!? Even the BIRD is really enchanting!" some girl said.
"Yeah, that's right! That if you ignore Quatro Cerberus! But the rest are really dreamy!" another one said.
"Haha! Lucky, wait for me!" Raidon shouted and put an arm on her shoulders.
"I'll do so then. Don't make me wait long. You should be able to find a genuine FEATHER pretty fast anyway." Lucky murmured with a smirk under the mask.
"Yeah, don't worry!" the blue haired man smirked too.
"Oi, we're in this too. I'll make sure to win this." Lyon said as he came forward with a victory grin on his face.
"If this lovely lady is waiting to be rescued, I shall do everything in my power to free you, Lucky-chan…" Hibiki said kissing her hand.
"Hm, a pointless declaration. I'll be the first there anyway." Laxus smirked taking up the challenge.
"Hmm… why do you look like somebody I know I wonder." Rogue said looking at Lucky.
"You must confuse me. It's the first time I've met you after all." Lucy said naturally.
"It could be." The Sabertooth mage said.
"It seems like you're the goal here." Erza said.
"I truly am, aren't I? Well anyway. Do not make me wait long." Lucky said nice, even though she was addressing mostly to Raidon.
"We wouldn't do that. One of us is bound to reach to you soon." Kagura said. She got a little more talkative it seems. But she's still Kagura.
"I'm here too… Wild~…" Jager murmured to himself on the edge.
"Lucky-san, would you please stay in the middle of the arena? I must ask the rest of you to scatter as well." Mato said and everybody went somewhere on the arena, distanced one of another. "Then… Cage of Babel! Begins!" he shouted and pillars rose up under them, carrying them closer to the sky. The one in the middle, where Lucy stood, was the biggest and above her appeared a bird cage with several key holes on its surface. Stairs appeared on the pillars' surface and the normal arena as they knew it turned into a jungle like place. There were several rivers and trees and all kinds of flowers, but you could also find monsters and dangerous animals.
"That's too messed up…" Lyon said as he stood up and looked at the new stage in front of him.
"I like how this place is." Raidon said and smirked as he looked down, he was pretty high.
"The FEATHERS should be here then?" Erza asked as she herself examined the layout of the jungle.
"That is correct!" Mato said. "Several FEATHERS can be found in this stage. However, as I stated, a lot of them aren't genuine ones. With this said, please go before you won't find anymore FEATHERS."
"Heh, So I just have to gather a bunch and go for the blonde. Easy." Laxus said and turned into electricity as he ran down the pillar, reaching the ground.
"This is too high to just jump… And we don't know what we might jump into either. It's safer to just run the stairs." Erza said and went ahead.
"Yahoo~" Raidon shouted and Erza looked shocked towards him as he just jumped off the pillar. She was even more shocked to see him land without any problems, right on the ground.
"I can't lose either!" she said determined and ran faster.
"Well… I need to find one of these FEATHERS and return to my lovely hime in peril." Hibiki stated and activated his archive, trying to make a map of the place. They all went on the ground like that, beginning the search of FEATHERS.
"Saa! Who will be the first!?" the crowd cheered as they watched the scenery before them.
"Heh, I've got no time for little fries like you." Raidon smirked as he literally fried a monster three times his size with a punch charged with electricity, earning a big BOOM and ran further, searching for a feather to go back to Lucy.
"That guy…" Laxus murmured seeing his magic on one of the lacrimas. He himself was beating monsters, thinking that maybe one of them holds the treasure.
"He's powerful…" Gray murmured from the balcony.
"Hmm…" Natsu nodded. "This guild has very strong mages" he added, holding his fists with a smirk on his face.
"Truly, even if you look only at the ones in the stands you get that feeling, don't you?" Juvia added, everybody looking at the stands of Hundred Tales, seeing the members very pumped, cheering and shouting more than anybody.
"Oi, Raidon! Hurry up already or I'll make sure you remember every second you lose!" Osamu shouted standing up on the edge while laughing his ass off.
"Osamu-sama! Please be more considerate!" some of the girls giggled while looking at him.
"Go, Raidon!" little Miraiko cheered as she stood in a front chair together with the elders. After all, she was officially the guild master.
"Miraiko-sama! Let's cheer louder!" Chikusa exclaimed as she herself had her fists in the air.
"They're… weird… they even have little kids like that." Gajeel said.
"Not that it's wrong… but I hear that the blonde one is the guild master. Looks a lot like the First, right?" Gray said and Gajeel's jaw dropped.
"Oh, look!" Natsu exclaimed while pointing in the arena, where Erza has found a feather after defeating a tough looking monster. She held it up as the crowds cheered and she ran back to the main tower.
"Oh? Erza's found a feather?" Lyon asked as he defeated a monster, preparing to enter an icy cave. "I can't fall back" he said smirking and entered, hoping to find something there.
"I'll show Erza that I've changed." Kagura smiled and focused on her sword, releasing mixed magic of it and her gravity prime, clearing the zone around her.
"Kagura's found another two feathers! Things are heating up!" the commentator shouted and the arena echoed. "Oh? Laxus had one too! Also, Rogue!" he noticed seeing Laxus holding a feather in the middle of an explosion and Rogue with one in hand, both heading to the tower.
"Che, this is taking too long. Game stop, I've played enough." Raidon said turning serious as he raised his hands and a lighting bow appeared. He smirked as sparks and a dense amount of magic could be felt. "Scatter! Lights that fell from the heavens!" he shouted and released the newly formed arrow of electricity into the sky. It went with amazing speed and just above the arena it disappeared, appearing under multiple rays shooting to the earth. It hit… every monster in the arena that was still there. The arena was speechless. Six feather in total were gathered in one hit.
"Oi, oi… you've gotta be kidding…" Hibiki murmured nervously after that attack.
"Lucky-chan! I'm coming!" Raidon shouted with the feathers in his hands as he turned back to his carefree self.
"Oh, no, you won't." Erza said as she saw Raidon running slowly towards the tower, she already being climbing the stairs around it, halfway.
"See, Lucky-chan!? See how many feathers I've gathered!?" he jumped around, showing off like a fool.
"Raidon! You idiot! Go to the cage already!" Eiji shouted from the balcony his team, seeing how close Erza was, with Kagura in her back and Laxus running all over with his lighting magic.
"Eh? What?" Raidon blinked and then noticed the same thing. "Oh! I see! I have to get Lucky out as well! Why didn't you say so in the first place?" he said sighing.
"We did…" Miyuki murmured not believing him.
"Hehe, if you think you can compete with me in speed, you're VERY wrong." He smirked and kneeled down, like in a race. In the next second he disappeared, going in a straight line towards the cage in the middle tower. Erza couldn't believe what she was seeing, so much speed! She herself turned into the Cheetah Armor and headed off.
"Too slow." Raidon whispered in her ear as he passed by her on the stairs and went further, leaving Erza with her eyes wide open in shock.
'But! He was there! How!?' she thought looking in the place where she last saw Raidon and then up, after hearing the referee declaring the winner, just to see Raidon holding Lucky bride style with a big smile on his face.
"Mou, it took you long enough. I was seriously beginning to think that you'll be the second to reach here." Lucky said while being held by him.
"Gomen, gomen. I didn't really understand the rules of this, hehe…" Raidon chuckled playfully while looking at her. In short time, they were down, being lowered together with the tower.
Hundred Tales: 10 pt.
Fairy Tail B: 8 pt
Sabertooth: 6 pt
Fairy Tail A: 4 pt
Mermaid Hell: 3 pt
Lamia Scale: 2 pt.
Blue Pegasus: 1 pt
Quatro Cerberus: 0 pt
The crowd went into cheering as Lucky and Raidon raised their hands, showing off as the winners. The most happier were, of course, the ones from Hundred Tales. Raidon smirked, the look in his eyes changing for a few moments. The mages from the arena noticed something making its way from the spot where the two from Hundred Tales stood. Lucy glanced quickly towards Raidon's neck, noticing the darkened color gathered into his necklace gem.
"Raidon..." she growled, using her power as the Celestial Fox over another youkai. The normal shine came back for a while into his eyes as he himself noticed the darkness. They both nodded one at another and headed for the exit, at a faster speed. From the stands, Kimiko Amaterasu was seen leaving in a hurry as well, making her way through the people.
This didn't pass, neither for the guilds or the administration. Right then, they all knew there was something different about this guild, which hides into the shadows.
"Why did you show off like that!?" Lucy shouted showing a frown on her face. She was wearing her mask onher head, revealing her face now. Raidon made a puppy face from the chair he was sitting on. Near him, Kimiko had one hand over his gem stone, radiating with soft golden light.
"Maa maa, Lucy-dono... The public liked it, and he didn't break the gem eitherso it is alright." she said wih a kind smile.
"It is not alright, Kimiko-sama! He used the youkai's power without thinking twice! That was too dangerous no matter how you look at it... What if the humans noticed something? No... at the power radiating, I doubt any of the mages haven't noticed." she sighed and threw herself into another chair, holding her forehead with one hand. "We'll have to be extra careful from now on..."
"Or we could keep this pace" Raidon stated as both girls looked up at him. "Think about this, Lucy-chan!" he said with a bright smile. "Why not empathize that we're different? After all, none of us is human, we are youkai and kami, so why not let it be? I agree that we're not to reveal our identity, but a little of our power should be felt."
"Keep your friends close and your enemies closer? That's interesting!" Kimiko smiled brightly, thinking at these words. Lucy, as well, was in deep thought.
"That is true, but to an extend just... As long as it isn't passing the level of human magic, I allow it." she finally said as Raidon cheered his victory.
"You're lively as always, hehe." Miraiko's voice was heard as she entered the room, blinking from her white eyes.
""Miraiko-sama!"" the two youkais yelped surprised.
"That strategy should be effective. It is a great idea in fact." she said, nodding her head as she looked at the two. "But I still require you to be careful. If we do reveal anything, I do not know what will happen. That future is blocked, and i do not know why. We cannot risk going on that path..." she said slightly worried, just to replace that look with a smile. "You should head back to the stands now. The break is over and the battles will begin soon." she said as the two nodded, leaving in a hurry.
"Miraiko-chan, are you alright?" Amaterasu asked worried as she looked at the girl. Miraiko smiled, looking at her as she nodded her head.
"For the moment at least." she simply said and both of them went back to their own stands.
Lucy and Raidon came back in their own balcony. Miyuki and Akihiko welcomed them back. However, Eiji had a serious expression on, fixing Raidon's gem. He then looked at Lucy, without saying anything. She simply nodded her head, going next to him as they both turned to face the arena.
"Nothing serious?" he whispered.
"Miasma gathered inside from the use of power. But it should be alright, Kimiko-sama cleansed it." Lucy said softly as well.
"I see..." Eiji sighed and closed his eyes, a bored expression replacing the serious one. Since both were Celestial Foxes, they shared the responsibility of keeping things under control. It was the only thing they would cooperate in.
"Well then, we shall begin now with the battle portion!" the referee said and everybody cheered. Lucy turned around and made use of the sudden noise as she let her determination be know by the ones there.
"From now on, I shall allow use of youkai magic, just don't let your identity be know. It seems that the humans enjoy this bewitching power of ours, hehe..." she giggled and Raidon and Miyuki smirked, pleased by this agreement. Now, they were free to use it. "But only these participating shall be free of this restriction. And just to a human magic level, understood?" she added.
""Aye, Ma'am!"" the two said playfully. It was free enough for them, who held onto the elements of the world.
The lacrima had begun showing images with every participant, trying to pick the partners for the first fight.
"Saa... who will it be!?"
Everybody was impatient as the first image picked somebody.
"Kagura Mikazuchi! VS..." the crowd awaited for the second participant just when the image stopped, showing the silver haired man with grey eyes of Hundred Tales.
"Eiji Shiruba!"
"Yosh! I've been waiting for this!" Eiji shouted with one hand thrown in the air, a huge grin found on his face.
"Heh, against a swordsman? I guess you'll use that after all." Lucy said in a playful voice as she looked to the rusty sword found on Eiji's wrist. It was old, clearly, and the gems on the sheath lost their shine long ago, as did the ornamental strings were barely tied anymore.
"Yeah, I finally get to use it after so long…" Eiji smiled as he placed one hand on the sword, turning as soon as possible to the arena.
"Go for it!" Miyuki exclaimed.
"Show me something good, fox." Raidon said.
"Leave it to me!" Eiji assured them as he jumped, landing quickly inside the arena. Kagura was already there, waiting for him as he walked with his big but slow steps towards her, his hair and kimono swaying in the wind.
"Don't you think this is going to be a pretty interesting match?" Gray asked.
"Yes… Kagura grew a lot since the last year. She's strong. But I have the feeling that guy is also not to be underestimated." Erza said, contemplating their abilities.
"You think so…? I just want to battle with somebody …." Natsu said, bored as he didn't get any action until now.
"Tche…! Who brought this idiot along?" Gajeel complained, beginning an argument with the fire dragon slayer.
"If I recall, last year on your first match you bet your life, didn't you?" Eiji asked and Kagura raised an eyebrow. Eiji smirked, showing off his fangs. "Why don't we continue that bet right now, miss mermaid. Let's bet our lives on this battle!" he announced, earning himself mixed feelings from each person on the arena, who were curious about this.
"I must refuse. There is no need for me to partake into something like this." Kagura announced. Eiji's smirk still hasn't left.
"Are you scared you will lose then? You accepted this one year ago." He added as she straightened her back, smiling with confidence.
"I am no longer the person I was one year ago." She said, the wind blowing through her hair and ribbon. Eiji laughed, relaxing all of a sudden.
"Good answer. I have no need for your life after all. But a fight should suffice." He said and placed his hand on the sword. "And this guy as well strives for a good battle. I hope you can offer us that, miss mermaid."
"Are you really planning to fight with that piece of art? It is too old. It will break as soon as my Archenemy touches it." Kagura said, eyeing the rusty sword.
"Thank you for your consideration but I would like for you to mind your own business. This guy still didn't go all out." He said and placed the sword in front of him, ready to unsheathe it. Kagura sighed, seeing his resolve as she took her sword into her own hands as well.
"I did warn you. A museum piece will lose, no matter how strong you may be." She said with her eyes closed, preparing to jump and cut Eiji, but her heart began to beat faster, as she heard Eiji's chuckle. Her eyes widened and instinctively she took a defense position. The sword in his hands was emanating black rays of power, aura… It was dangerous, and it wanted to kill.
"Hush now, Kusanagi… it is not time to eat yet." Eiji whispered, his eyes shining silver as the black aura of the sword turned softly to silver, wrapping like a ribbon around the sword itself, revealing it under its true form. The rust disappeared, leaving a beautiful black color on the sheath, the gems getting back their shine as well. When he untied the silver strings around it, a beautiful sparkle was seen reflecting on the silver blade.
"Aha…" Eiji sighed relieved as his eyes were covered by his bangs, smiling. "After all, Kusanagi is the most fit for us…" he chuckled again. Kagura stepped back. Her hands were trembling, as did her legs. What was this feeling…? She didn't even look at him! She… felt FEAR… Eiji licked his lips. In Kagura's eyes, a beast was reflected. Was it the sword or… the owner? She bit her lip as she unsheathed Archenemy, the crowd gasping in suspense, not that they didn't feel Eiji's tremendous power.
She breathed deeply, holding her hands on the sword. If what she heard was right… she couldn't underestimate him…. Kusanagi, the sword she heard about once in the legends. But it couldn't be, right…? Right?
"Are you still not coming? Please be serious." He pouted, putting Kusanagi into the ground and moving his weight onto it. Kagura bit her lip once more and leaped out, seeking for a chance. Even so, Archenemy was blocked by Kusanagi, and the impact received between the two was like a roar of a dragon. Kagura was pushing with all her might while Eiji kept Kusanagi in one hand, without any effort.
"You're disappointing me…." He said and leaped forward, landing ahead a few meters, sheathing Kusanagi. Kagura feel down on her knees, blood gushing in the air from her shoulder like petals of red roses in the wind. Standing up, Eiji turns his head a little towards him, his expression now serious.
"That sword… it should be just a tale…." Kagura murmured, seeing him.
"You still didn't realize?" he smiled playful. "We are all from your tales…" he said and turned.
"Good thing you didn't bet your life…" he said and left to the exit, with the same steps with which he entered. The crowd erupted into cheers, seeing something they won't probably forgot all their life.
"That…." Natsu murmured. Everybody was speechless. Erza couldn't help but keep her eyes off the balcony of Hundred Tales.
'Are they all beasts like him!? Even she…?' she thought, not believing somebody like them exists, all gathered into one single place. Most probably, she'd have had admired Eiji, that if he was the only one like that from the whole guild. But she's seen Raidon and his speed defying her in just a fraction of a second, she's seen them leaving for the Pyramid and… even since then… she felt something about the blonde girl, something she couldn't piece together. Perhaps… she was scared to find that she, as well, was such a beast… But that was something she herself couldn't understand….
I'm back, world! I just finished and couldn't wait to update in such a long time! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did when I wrote. Well then, quiz time! Who do you think that will about Lucy's identity first? (hint: from Fairy Tail) Please leave your answers in a review!
