Oh my, I just realized I haven't posted in quite a while. Sorry about that. As promised, I'm going to start the GMG today. I'm not sure if the polls I created have been showing up, so I'll just skip through the Dragon Festival. Sorry to those who enjoyed it. This also means that the GMG I'm creating will be just the tournament. The Eclipse gate won't be opened. I'm also going to change several things around during the Games.
Time had passed, and the sun was high in the sky. The day before, the master had brought the Tenrou Team outside with him, where he had Ultear train them how to use their second origin. Once again, they were training like their lives depended on it. And to be frank, they did. Without reclaiming their reputation as the strongest guild around, who would hire them? The guild's coffers were already drained, and it could not support it's members any longer. This would be it for their career as Guild Wizards unless they could prove that they were truly back. This ultimatum filled them with determination and resolve, and harder now did they train than they ever had before.
Time was limited, though, and soon the Grand Magic Games would begin. Individually approached were five Fairies. Natsu Dragneel. Gray Fullbuster. Erza Scarlet. Wendy Marvel. And… Lucy Heartfilia? General confusion ensued as the Fairies realized so many strong fighters had been left out. Frantically approached by Natsu, Lisanna could do nothing but pretend she had not qualified. However, there had been another five selected as Fairy Tail's Team B. Laxus Dreyar. Juvia Lockser. Mirajne Strauss. And finally, the Fairy who had recently established herself as a force to be reckoned with. Lisanna Strauss. However, Team B was to be kept a secret.
"What do you mean, you didn't make the team?" Natsu asked her frantically.
"Natsu, it's fine. I'm sure the master has his reasons." She smiled. "I'll be alright."
"No. We have to get this fixed."
"Natsu. It's okay. I won't take someone else off of the team just so I can be on it."
Natsu sighed. He knew once Lisanna had made up her mind on something, she wouldn't change it.
"Fine." He said. "But I still don't understand why the Master would leave you out."
Soon, though, the training period would end, and Fairy Tail would return to Magnolia, and wait for their summons to Crocus. It turned out that day would be the next. The fairies returned to Magnolia, much stronger than when they had left. Lisanna had decided to move in with Natsu, and live with him in his cottage in the forest. Once again, they and Happy were a family. It was a good time while it lasted, but the inevitable approached. Finally, the letter came, and the guild began their journey to Crocus, Fiore's capital. It was by far the largest city any of them had seen before, its circular formation stretching for miles. In the center lay two immense buildings. One was the Royal Palace. The other was the Domus Flau, where the games would take place. They checked into a lovely inn called Honey Bone Lodge before splitting up to explore the streets of Fiore's Capital. Natsu, Lisanna, and Happy had elected to head to the Gardens, something Crocus was quite famous for.
After a bit of walking, the noticed a battle being fought in the street. Stopping to watch, they saw two powerful wizards easily defeat several people.
The blonde wizard turned towards the gathered crowd and scoffed. "Anybody else want some?"
Then, his eyes widened. "I know you… The Salamander, Natsu Dragneel. So I guess the rumers were true."
The dark haired one stared. "So he is… Looks like Fairy Tail might have a chance this year… Oh wait, they'd have to beat us first."
The blonde laughed. "Like that'd ever happen."
Natsu stared blankly. "Do I know you?"
They both turned towards him. "Who doesn't know us? THE TWIN DRAGONS OF SABERTOOTH!"
"You don't look like dragons." Natsu said.
"We're Dragon Slayers, dumbass." They said.
"Dragon Slayers…" Natsu murmured. "Did you dragons also disappear on July 7th, 777?"
"Disappear?" The blonde laughed. "You see…"
"We killed our dragons." The dark hair finished. "We're not soft like the other Dragon Slayers."
Natsu paled. It looked like he was going to punch them, but Lisanna took his arm and pulled him away.
"Who's this?" The blonde said. "Salamander's little girlfriend? Not bad. Why don't we have a little fight? Winner gets her."
Natsu lunged. Again, Lisanna held him back.
"It's not worth it, Natsu. Save it for the arena." She chided.
They turned away and walked back to the inn. Both raging mad, they swore together that they'd defeat Sabertooth. The Fairies would once again spread their wings and fly.
Yeah, I know. Long wait for a short chapter. I guess I just haven't been feeling it lately. I'll try and post more for you guys, though.
