Constellations of Time Chapter 5, a fairy tail fanfic

Chapter 5

First Day: July 1, X791

First Event: Hidden

Everyone had chosen their participants by this point. Lucy cheered as Rufus and every other guild mage entered the arena. The Memory-Make mage turned around and looked at his guildmates one last time, oh they were so supportive in everything. Everyone cheered for him, but her Lucy-nee was absolutely the loudest. Rufus chuckled at the sight of the Stellar mage and proceeded to listen to the mechanics of the event.

As the pumpkin was explaining, multiple clones of the contestants appeared much to Juvia's delight. Rufus, on the other hand, smirked knowing that the event was too advantageous for him. Might as well play with them for a little while.

"Ready, and start kabo~!"

Everyone had now gone into hiding. Juvia can be seen hugging every possible "Gray-sama" there is and keep getting deduction points, a sight which made Lucy giggle.

"Lushi~ What's funny?" the red exceed asked.

"Oh nothing. I just saw something very interesting." Lucy said between her giggles.

Rufus glanced towards the Celestial mage's direction and witnessed Lucy giggling at the Fairy Tail mage. Simply seeing the stellar mage's joy made him smile, and that was enough for him.

As time passed by, the memory-make mage decided it was time to carry out his plan.

"Guess it's time to unleash one of my secret weapons to the Fairies. Forgive me Lucy-nee." Rufus smirked. The memory-make mage then jumped onto a high roof and determined each and everyone's location.

"Memory-make: After Image" Rufus cast.

A thought projection of the Stellar mage wearing the pink frilly dress and sunhat was cast in front of every enemy. Everyone from the Sabertooth guiled cheered at the sight of this knowing that the After Image Rufus casted was Lucy.

"EHH?!" Lucy turned red from embarrassment at the sight of this. Why'd on earth would Rufus record her in that outfit? It was so embarrassing. She was having a mental breakdown. Of course, no one from the other guilds recognized her after image because of the huge hat covering her face, but it was still risky.

"Waaahhh! Fro thinks Lushi is very pretty." The frog-wearing exceed commented. Sadly, Lucy didn't hear any of this as she was busy sulking in a corner out of embarrassment.

Fairy Tail A (Gray),

Gray was caught off guard when a girl suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He readied his fighting stance and was about to attack when the mysterious girl looked up at him revealing her face and smiled.

"Lu-lu… AHHHH!"

Lamia Scale (Lyon),

Lyon was frozen from the spot. It couldn't be, it.. it was her! He immediately knew it was her because he couldn't get that dress and sunhat out of his mind. Just need to take that damn hat away to reveal her lovely face!

"Please tell me your name- AHHH!"

As everyone was distracted with the after image of the celestial mage, Rufus glanced at his guild and smiled.

"Man, it's so fun messing with Lucy-nee. Memory-make: A Night of Falling Stars." With that, beams of light were released from his body and were directed to the enemies' locations. Ear-piercing screams later followed, and thus ending the first event of the day.

And the results of the event are as follows:

1st: Sabertooth (10 points)

2nd: Raven Tail (8 points)

3rd: Lamia Scale (6 points)

4th: Blue Pegasus (4 points)

5th: Mermaid Heel (3 points)

6th: Quatro Cerberus (2 points)

7th: Fairy Tail B (1 point)

8th: Fairy Tail A (0 points)

"Rufus! That was amazing!" Lucy hugged Rufus when he returned to his guild area. Lots of cheers and claps were heard as he made his way to his comrades. He couldn't have done it without their support, especially from Lucy-

*BAM*

"But don't ever do that again." the celestial mage huffed as she whacked his head.

"Yes. I'm sorry." Rufus said while rubbing the huge bump on his head. Damn! This girl can hit. Minerva, Yukino, What do you even feed her?!

As everyone was resting from their post, a certain white-haired mage was busy eyeing the cloaked Lucy. His mind was obsessing over her, he can't get her out of her mind. Why can't he just-

"Lyon-sama should just talk to Lu-nee. She was your comrade in the past, why are you shy now? Is it because Lyon-sama loves Lu-nee? Love is truly a great thing ne?" Sherria blurted breaking his thoughts.

"Yes. She was a lovely comrade. Eh- SAY WHAT?!" Lyon shouted out. She- she was a comrade in the past? But who?! Without a second thought, the ice-mage ran towards the Sabertooth's post.

"How slow of him. Even I immediately realized that she was Lucy-dono." Jura face palmed which Sherria agreed.

As everyone in Sabertooth was laughing and enjoying themselves, both of the exceeds saw their white-haired mage friend approaching. Before the exceeds could even say hello, a very red Lyon grabbed Lucy's wrist and anxiously yelled, "Please let me borrow her."

Before Lyon could even take Lucy away, Minerva already held a dagger in front of the ice mage's neck. Both his wrist were detained by Sting and Rogue, and Yukino, Orga & Rufus were already in their fighting position. So much for asking her name.

"Wait, everyone. He was the friend we were talking about." Lector said. After hearing the red exceed's explanation, they let Lyon go.

The ice mage bowed in front of them and apologized. "I'm sorry for my rudeness. But pl-please let me speak with her."

Lucy smiled at her comrades and told them it was okay. She held Lyon's hand (which didn't go unnoticed by her very possessive comrades) and drew him away from the crowds. Still holding his hand, the Heartfilia led him into a secret passageway leading to a garden. The garden was absolutely breathtaking, it felt like a dream. A dream he never wanted to wake up from.

"Nice place I found, right? I sneak away from my comrades from time to time and tend to relax here." Lucy said. As she was about to let go of Lyon's hand, the ice mage stopped her.

"Please let me stay like this, just a little longer." He said this as he intertwined his fingers and locked them with Lucy's. Lyon's face was flushed as he looked down at the ground. He was extremely happy that he found her. If she was an old comrade, how come he didn't notice her before? He swung the Celestial mage in his direction and hugged her without hesitation.

"Lyon-san. What's the problem?" Lucy asked concerned. Lucy was taken aback by everything that was going on. When did Lyon become so soft? He wasn't always like this. Does he have a problem? He must've wanted someone to comfort him.

"Please tell me who you are." Lyon whispered ever so gently in the embrace. His heart was racing, his face extremely flushed, he was sweating, and his hands were trembling. Everything will become clear now. He released the hug and reached for the hood of her cloak.

The wind blew and the hood of her cloak fell down from her face. Her hair swayed in the breeze, and her eyes shone brighter than the sun. Her face was redder than usual, but she became absolutely more beautiful in Lyon's eyes. How could he be so oblivious? All this time, it was…

"Lucy." Lyon muttered. His heart was beating even faster. When did she become more beautiful? Lucy was frozen, unsure of what to do. Lyon stared at her longingly, as if the puzzle had finally been completed. He couldn't take his gaze away from her. Slowly, his face moved closer and closer to the celestial mage's, until their faces were inches apart. And-

*BAM*

Before their lips could even touch, a huge struck of lightning had hit Lyon. Only Lyon.

"Vastia. It's not nice to play jokes. You and your half-assed feelings should get a rain check." The mysterious figure said.

"Sparky?!"Lucy blurted out of surprise. She didn't know what was happening. Why were they acting this way? Laxus definitely looked pissed. Why was he pissed? Was it because of the games? That seems logical. But he did save her.

"I-I'm so sorry Lucy. I didn't know what got into me. I just wanted to return you this." A flushed Lyon handed something to the celestial mage and ran away from the scene.

When the Stellar mage looked at her palm, she saw that it was her missing necklace. She chuckled at what had just happened and put on her necklace.

"You had it all along. Thank you." Lucy smiled and whispered. She went over to where Laxus was standing and thanked him for looking after her. She asked him to not tell anyone that she was participating in the games. Laxus complied with her request.

They eventually parted and went their separate ways. "You should be more careful. I never want to see anything like that ever again." Laxus murmured to himself as a pang in his chest began to form.

"Lucy-sama! Just in time! The battles are about to start!" Yukino said when she saw Lucy returning.

Everyone was so eager and engrossed in the event. Lucy was back to her usual self, she must have misunderstood Lyon's intentions. That was definitely it.

Everything happened so fast, the battle of Elfman and Flare ended up with Raven Tail's victory. Ren's victory was also surprising. Now it was time for the third battle of the day. The lacrima displaying the contestants began choosing at random, with Warcry as the first competitor.

"And fighting Warcy is … The hooded figure from Sabertooth kabo~!"

With the battle commencing, every Saber can be heard cheering for the said mage. Sherria also cheered for her, which Lucy answered with a wave. Lyon and Laxus on the other hand were silently observing.

On the other side, Fairy Tail mages had no idea it was their beloved Celestial Mage.

"Ready set kabo~!" the pumpkin man yelled.

Without any hesitation, Warcry initiated the first attack and kept apologizing while he attempted to hit Lucy. For the celestial mage, avoiding him was no problem due to those 3 months of training with her comrades.

Knowing that physical attacks were ineffective against the Saber mage, the Quatro Cerberus mage activated his tear magic. Which was a definite BIG MISTAKE. Lucy seeing her enemy's strength and speed increased, stopped.

She stopped defending.

She stopped attacking.

She only stood.

The crowd fell silent as they waited for her next move. Warcry took this as an opportunity and directly charged at her.

Lucy only smirked and held her fist to her palm.

"Celestial Skill: Mimic…" Lucy whispered as her Gate of the Twins Key started glowing underneath her cloak.

"That position!" Lyon and Gray yelled in unison (out of shock). Everyone looked at the two ice mages. WHAT ON EARTH IS HAPPENING?!

"ICE MAKE: GEYSER!" Lucy yelled as Warcry was about to collide his fist onto her. Within seconds, the entire stadium was covered in a HUGE massive explosion of ICE. The attack was so powerful that it blew everyone out of their seats. The entire arena was engulfed in smoke, dust, and rubble. Through the fog, a figure can be seen, but whose is it?

"WOOOOOOOH!" Cheers from all around were heard as soon as they saw what had uncovered them.

As the smoke cleared up, a knocked-out Warcry can be seen frozen in one of the icy glaciers of the mage's attack. But that wasn't the only thing that caught their eye; the opponent was standing in the center of the arena, fist in the air, broadcasting her Saber mark.

"And our winner is the hooded figure from Sabertooth kabo~!" Mato announced.

Cheers grew louder as Lucy went back to her station.

Fairy Tail,

"I wanna fight that hooded figure! I am so fired up! Just you wait!" Natsu declared, pumping his fist into the air.

"What's wrong Gray-sama?" Juvia asked, concerned towards the Ice mage.

'Another Ice mage? But that stance, UR was the only one who taught us that. Who are you?' Gray wandered in his thoughts and didn't notice the water mage's concern.

"It seems that the Sabers have acquired an impressive wild card." Erza complimented as she watched the mage retreat to her guildmates.

Lamia Scale,

"Lyon-sama. I didn't know Lu-nee could also do ice magic?" Sherria asked in shock.

"…" Lyon stared in awe at the hooded figure. He couldn't keep his gaze off of her. He was completely captivated. She was full of surprises. He wanted to know more.

"He malfunctioned." Jura commented as he watched a lovestruck Lyon looking at Lucy's retreating figure.

"I agree." Sherria giggled in response. A lot of guys were interested in the celestial mage, Sherria had to act quickly if she wanted to help Lyon catch Lucy's attention before the others do.

Blue Pegasus,

"I couldn't believe she had unlocked a new skill. And why is she in Sabertooth?" Hibiki whispered. He was astounded by her level of improvement. He'd never guessed that the hooded figure was Lucy. It was only a fraction of a second, he only noticed that it was Lucy during her casting when he caught a glimpse of her keys secured around her waist.

"What is he muttering about?" Eve asked Ren. Ren just shrugged in return.

Sabertooth,

"That was amazing Lu!" A guild member cheered as Lucy returned.

"Yeah Lu! How did you do that? It was so amazing!" Another guild member added.

"Ohh. I kinda improved Gemini's skill. As you all know, Gemini has the ability to transform into anyone they come in contact with, including their skills, mannerism, and memories. Gemini once copied my teammate Gray. So I basically just utilized Gemini's abilities into my body, making it possible for me to cast Ice Make" Lucy explained shyly.

It actually took her quite some time to get used to casting elemental magic. Even though casting them was easy because of Gemini's skills, her body couldn't keep up with the changes that were occurring. For Gray's magic, she had to endure the cold during her training in Mt. Hakobe so that her body can adapt to those temperature changes.

"You did well Lucy-nee." Minerva smiled and patted Lucy's head. They all knew just how hard she trained for this. From her getting sick due to being out in the cold for too long, to her very first Ice Make Snowflake. They were beside her every step of the way. Gray's magic was only a glimpse of how much she improved, there is so much more in store for them. They better watch out.

Results for Day 1:

1st: Sabertooth (20 points)

2nd: Raven Tail (18 points)

3rd: Lamia Scale (16 points)

4th: Blue Pegasus (14 points)

5th: Mermaid Heel (3 points)

6th: Quatro Cerberus (2 points)

7th: Fairy Tail B (1 point)

8th: Fairy Tail A (0 points)

Thus, this concludes Day 1 of the Grand Magic Games.

-Chapter 5 Fin-

Omake:

All this time, it was…

Their lips finally touched. It was soft and every guy's dream. When Lyon parted from the kiss, he opened his eyes.

"GRAY?! GROSS! GET YOUR ASS OF MY LIPS! OH MY POOR SOUL HAS BEEN TAINTED BY- BY- BY YOU! DAMN YOU." Lyon screamed as he ran away from the garden.

"Thanks Gemini" Lucy giggled

1 hour later, Crocus City ran out of toothpaste stock.
