Everyone stared awkwardly and whispered at the incoming group taking the streets. 'My legs are still sore…..' Luffy whined as he dragged himself on the streets with the rest of the group. 'I'm still aching now….' Lucy cried. 'I can't move…...Too sore….' Chopper panted, taking a rest on top of Erza's luggage wagon. 'Who said you could rest up here?' Erza scolded Chopper demonically as she placed her head above Chopper. 'S-sorry Erza!' Chopper cried, fear striking his core. 'Here. I'll give you a lift.' Zoro offered as he picked up Chopper and tucked him under his arm. 'Why is Erza and Zoro still standing?' Nami questioned. 'Maybe Erza already had her Second Origin released.. Zoro, not sure….' Gray mumbled. Sanji just looked at Zoro, having a feeling he knew the answer why he can stand.
'But why can Brook and Franky ride the wagon?!' Chopper argued. 'Yeah, and why are they hidden under your suitcases?' Nami yelled, lifting her head up. 'Because they are a walking skeleton and a cyborg. Here, such figures would be seen as items of the dark arts. The last thing we want is a panic in the Capitol.' Erza explained as she kept on walking. 'But I'm a talking reindeer!' Chopper snapped. 'And Happy and Charla are walking talking flying cats and people think it's normal. So it should be fine for you.' Erza countered. 'And what about Robin?' Usopp asked, looking at Robin sitting comfortably in the back space of the wagon. 'It's unladylike to crawl in the ground. So I asked Erza for a lift.' Robin explained to Usopp. 'So all we had to do was ask?' Everyone thought at the same time. 'Hey Erza-' 'No, you may not.' Erza answered, immediately cutting Natsu from his question.
'Oh my! Look at this!' Brook opened another suitcase, and pulled out a corset. 'Come to think of it, all of her suitcases has costumes for the theater. I wonder why….' Franky wondered, picking up stockings and garter belts from the suitcase. The wagon stopped and a small bag was removed from the pile. 'What are you two doing in there?' Erza's face suddenly popped into to the small space, blocking the blue sky's light. 'N-Nothing!' Brook and Franky panicked, swiftly packing the items away and pushing it to the side. 'Hmm…..If I catch you peeping in one my suitcases….you're dead.' Erza said with a cold face and shoved the small bag back into place, only cracks of light shining through, before the wagon started rumbling again. 'If I wasn't dead…...She'd scare me to death. YOHOHOHOHO!' 'Keep it down in there!' Erza commanded, her voice muffled from outside. 'Y-Yes ma'am!' Brook whimpered. Franky just sweat dropped.
'I have to say though, this is an amazing city! Look at all these flowers!' Sanji said, looking at his surroundings. 'Well they don't call this the Blooming Capitol for nothing.' Erza smiled. 'I hear Crocus is really famous for it's flowers.' Lucy pitched in. 'I really want to explore this city...' Robin said in that same composure, placing her hand under her chin.
'Fresh fish! Herbs and spices!'
'Try our new stir fry! New spices added!'
'New items to the store! On sale now!'
'Wow...' Chopper had stars in his eyes, squealing at everything that was going on. 'I wanna try that!' Luffy pointed, drooling at the stall's food. '*Gasp!* I love that top! I soooo need it!' Nami awed, staring at a shop's window display of Fiore's latest fashions. 'A book store? I'll have to check it out later.' Robin smiled as the wagon rolled past.
'We're not here for a tour! We are here to compete! Understand?'
'Yes ma'am!' Everyone said in unison, scared of Erza's dominating personality.
'How much further to the inn?' Usopp whined, not wanting to crawl another inch. 'It's only a few blocks down. Now we'll be staying at the Honey Bone Lodge, and-' 'That sounds delicious!' Luffy abruptly cut off, drooling at the name itself. 'It's an inn Luffy, not a food. Anyway, once we get there, we must check for anything suspicious. Am I clear?' 'Gee, up tight much?' Nami thought.
'Hello, Team Natsu! And to you as well, Straw Hats!' Everyone looked up, and saw the Master smiling at them supporting Asuka on his old shoulders, with the guild members behind him, holding shopping bags, flowers and balloons. 'Everyone!' Natsu called, surprised. Everyone scuttled to stand back up, stumbling back down a bit before standing up fully. 'Are you guys ok?' Bisca asked suspiciously. 'We're fine! Honest!' Lucy said, waving her hand back and forth, though most of the team's legs were shaking quite a bit. 'Alright if you say so…..' Marco said, a little suspicious and worry in his voice.
'You guys pumped for the games?' Jet asked, taking a step forward and grasping the air in his hand. 'Totally! We're gonna beat those other guilds to a pulp! We're gonna win! Even if we break the rules!' Everyone sweatdropped at Luffy's antics. 'That would be considered cheating Luffy.' Nami and Lucy muttered. 'Oh! That reminds me!' Levy rummaged through her bulky satchel, Jet and Droy looking over her shoulder. 'Here.' Levy stepped forward with a thick book and plonked it in Lucy's hands. 'WOAH!' Lucy yelped as she fell down due to the heaviness of the book. 'W-What is this?' Lucy asked looking at the book, the weight almost crushing her hands.
Suddenly all these hands appeared springing from Lucy's palms. 'Eeek!' Lucy squeaked, her hair standing on edge and skin crawling. The hands arched over to Robin, and released it gently in her hands, before disappearing into flower petals. 'Can you not do that?! It feels creepy!' Lucy snapped. 'That's the rule book for the Games. A few things you should know; Only five members can participate, Guild Masters can't participate, only members of the guild can fight, each event will be secret until the day, and all teams are to return to their respected inn by midnight.' Levy smiled as Robin opened the book and started reading.
'... Alright, the rules seem simple' Robin smiled as she slammed the book shut. 'How did you read it that fast?!' Lucy reacted. 'She's always been like that. You should have seen her read the rule book for a dodge ball game once.' Nami whispered, leaning towards Lucy. 'Ehh...' Lucy sweat dropped.
'Oh look. It's those Fairy Tail losers.'
'They should just go home. They have no chance of winning.'
'They're just gonna make dumb fools of themselves. They should turn back now.'
Whispers and sneers came from all around them as they stood there. Luffy and Natsu stood there, clenching their fists and gritting their teeth. 'Don't let them get to you. Let them laugh. Their laughter will be an embarrassment to them when we take the win.' Natsu and Luffy looked at the old man, then relaxed. 'Alright…' They said, although deep inside they could still feel the pain. But that just got them fired up, showing the whole country that they were going to win the games this year.
'There they are. The Fairy Tail competitors.'
'They're the ones competing eh?'
'We're going to have sssssso much fun with them!'
'Let's take them out now while we have the chance.'
A slither of red hair slid a bit out of the alleyway, glinting in the sun.
'Wait….We cannot do that. If we do, it will be doned as suspicious. We'll take them out one by one. Slowly and carefully. Let's go.'
'But...'
'Do not resist my judgement!' Slap!
'...'
'Now let's go. We have a lot of work ahead of us.'
'Yes sir.'
'Fairy Tail, prepare to be crushed by our might!'
