Chapter 7
Domus Flau
The Fairy Tail were currently walking through the halls of the arena discussing the final match of the day.
"I can't believe that girl is a dragon slayer" Gray said to his team after witnessing the final match.
"Yeah it was really surprising" Lucy responded, remembering the match.
"Yes, it seems this Akatsuki is full of surprises" Erza stated to her team. As the three Fairy Tail Mages were discussing this Erza accidentally bumped into someone.
Bump
"Ow, sorry" Erza apologized to the person she ran into. As Erza looked up she saw the man she into a young man with red hair like her. That's not the only thing about him, the man's eyes were purple with rings in them.
"Are you okay" the man asked Erza.
"You alright Erza" Gray said checking on his friend.
"Yes I'm okay" Erza responded. The man smiled at her asked her something.
"You're Fairy Tail's Erza correct" he asked.
"Yes I am" answered Erza, wondering why the man was asking this. The man then smiled at her again.
"I see, my name is Nagato Uzumaki and I am the guild master of the Akatsuki." the one known as Nagato told her. Erza and her team's eyes widen at what he said.
"You're the guild master of the Akatsuki" Lucy said with shock. Nagato once again gave them a kind smile.
"Yes" Nagato answered.
"Well it's nice to meet you Master Nagato" Erza said to the red-haired man.
"Likewise, oh there is something to ask you guys" Nagato said. Erza, Gray, and Lucy grew question marks.
"What is it" Erza asked.
"It's about Nat…"
"Hey Nagato what are you doing let's go"
Nagato was interrupted by Obito before he gets to finish his sentence.
"I'm sorry we have to finish this other time" Nagato apologized went into the direction of his guildmate. The Fairy Tail mages looked confused as the man went towards the rest of the Akatsuki guild.
"So he's the guild master of the Akatsuki" Gray said giving a serious look.
"Yeah, but unlike his guild he seems rather nice" Lucy responded. After meeting the red-haired man Lucy noted how kinder he was than his guild.
"Hey brats what's wrong" a voice from behind asked them. The Fairy Tail mages turn to see their master standing behind them with little Asuka on his shoulders.
"Oh Master" Erza responded seeing the short elderly man.
"We just met the Akatsuki's guild master" Gray told him. Perplexed by this Makarov spoke again.
"Their Guild Master eh, tell me what was he like" Makarov asked.
"He seemed like a really nice guy, unlike his guild" Lucy told him.
"Yeah I expected him to be another silent and brooding guy like his team, since he looked pretty scary" Gray said, with Lucy nodding to this.
"Well you can not judge a book by its cover Gray, those Akatsuki may seem like an intimidating guild, but they could be very kind people" Makarov told the ice mage. Gray nodded at this understanding what Makarov was telling him.
"Okay, now lets head back to the hotel" Makarov told the guild as he walked off. The Fairies nodded and followed their master.
As Erza was following her guild to head to the hotel, that was until she felt a huge chill go down her back, causing her to instinctually turnaround.
"What was that" Erza thought as she turned around. She felt as though someone was watching her, as she turned all she saw was a crowd of people, she looked through the crowd of people and found no one suspicious watching her.
"Must be my imagination"
"Hey Erza come we have to go" Gray called his shook off her thoughts and went over to her friends.
Crocus
Jellal was now on top of a building meeting with the other members of Crime Sorciere, Meredy and his lover Ultear.
"Ultear, Meredy did you find anything" Jellal asked.
"No, we found not detection of Zeref's magic" Ultear told him. Jellal signed at this upset that they didn't find anything.
"What about those Akatsuki guys" Jellal asked. Ultear and Meredy tensed at the mention of that name.
"I don't know, but they are dangerous" Ultear responded. Jellal's eyes narrowed at this statement.
"I don't know if they're connected to Zeref or not, but." Ultear paused and took a deep breath.
'They're powerful maybe even stronger than Zeref, there is also something else " Ultear told him. Jellal's eyebrows rose at this statement.
"Which is" Jellal questioned.
"There is another source of strong dark magic, it could be Zeref, but I have my doubts" Ultear told him.
"Alright we will keep investigating until we find a solid answer understood" Jellal told them, Ultear and Meredy then nodded. Ultear then walked to Jellal and wrapped her arms around him and kissed him on the lips, Jellal blushed at this, but he returned the kiss with the same amount of passion as she. Then release each other to catch a breath
"Ultear" he said. Ultear smiled at him.
"Please be careful Jellal" Ultear told him placing her hand on his cheek. Jellal smiled and took her then kissed it.
"I know, I promise," Jellal said.
Crocus Palace
"So is everything going according to plan" a young women with green hair asked a tall knight in white armor standing before her.
"Yes princess everything is going to according to plan, we're almost near the amount of magic to activate the gate" the knight answered.
"That's good, the plan is almost complete, you may leave Arcadios" the girl said.
"As you wish, princess" the knight known as Arcadios responded. He then left the room to attend to other duties until he ran into someone. It was young women with short white hair wearing a standard military uniform. When she saw Arcadios she stopped and saluted him.
"Colonel Arcadios" the women said.
"Sergeant Yukino Aguria" Arcadios said addressing the woman.
"I hope everything is in order" Arcadios said.
"Yes Sir everything is in order" Yukino answered.
"That's good, shouldn't you be with your guild Sergeant" Arcadios asked her.
"Yes sir, I was heading back to my guild hall now" Yukino responded.
"Alright, and Thank you for your cooperation Sergeant Yukino, without your help the Eclipse Plan wouldn't have been possible" Arcadios told her.
"I Thank You for your gratitude Colonel" Yukino responded. She then bowed to Arcadios and proceeded to leave the palace, and Arcadios went to his quarters, but unknown to them someone was listening on their conversation. Outside of the palace a big venus fly trap came out of the ground, it then open its mouth revealing a black and white humanoid.
"Hmm Eclipse Plane, what is that I wonder " said the white half of the plant creature.
"The kingdom is planning something with these games, we should inform the others" the black half said, his voice being more dark than the white half. The being then went back into the ground on his way to inform his comrades.
Sabertooth Hotel
Yukino had just arrived back at her guild's hotel, when she enter she was greeted by some guild members.
"Yukino where have you been" Lector asked.
"Yeah you been missing us kick ass" Orga said.
"I'm sorry, I've been busy" Yukino said.
"So how have the games been going" Yukino asked.
"Though we are in 3rd place, I am still confident we will win" Rogue told her.
"Fro thinks so too" Frosch added.
"I see, well I wish you luck" Yukino said.
Yukino then went towards her room about get ready for bed. As Yukino was getting ready for bed, she had felt two strong arms wrap around her, her face turned red from this.
"Where have you been Yukino" a male voice asked. Yukino recognized the voice and smiled.
"I've been busy Sting" Yukino told the blond dragon slayer. Sting then turned her face towards and planted a kiss on her lips. Yukino happily returned it.
"Come on Yukino you've been missing me kicking ass" Sting told her.
"Yeah I know, I am sorry about that" Yukino apologized turning around to face Sting and kissed him again, Sting happily returned it.
"Just make sure you win" Yukino told him with a smile. Sting then gave her a confident smile.
"Of course I will, that's a promise" Sting said confidently and Yukino smiled back at him, the two then once again kissed and made their way to the bed.
Fairy Tail Hotel
Currently inside the hotel every member of Fairy Tail were getting a good night sleep. All except for a certain scarlet haired knight. Erza was currently tossing and turning in her sleep.
Erza Dream
Erza was in a strange empty space, not understanding what is happening. When Erza looked around it looked like she was some kind of chamber.
"Hello" Erza shouted, but there was no answer.
"Is anyone here" She shouted again and still no answer.
"I'm dreaming, I'm just dreaming", Erza said to herself. Erza closed her eyes and then took some deep breaths trying to wake herself up. Once she was done she opened her eyes and found she was still in this strange place.
"Damn it what the hell is happening", Erza thought. Erza continue to look around in the empty space she was in she continues to see nothing.
"I guess there's nothing here" She said to herself, and then turned around to look again and she immediately jumped when a mysterious figure appeared behind her.
"Kya" Erza shrieked after seeing the strange figures behind her. The figure was a young man with short spiky brown hair. The man was wearing a light colored kimono and a plain white headband.
"Who are you" Erza questioned. The figure simply remained silent and looked at Erza.
"Where am I" Erza asked. The figure still remained silent not saying anything. Erza was getting a little annoyed for the man's silence.
"Listen, I am asking who you are and what am I doing here" Erza demanded raising her voice. The man was still silent he just stared at Erza. This creeped Erza out.
"Okay you're starting to scare me" Erza said to the man. The man then lifted his arm and pointed at something behind Erza.
"What" Erza asked him. Erza turned to the direction his hand was pointing. In the direction the man was pointing there was another individual. Erza eyes the widened in what she was seeing, standing behind was a giant nine-tailed fox looking at her.
"What is that" Erza said fearfully as she looked up at the giant fox. Erza was scared she felt so much power The giant fox then wind back his claws, Erza's eyes widen at this realizing the creature was going to attack. The fox then launched back its claws in order to attack Erza.
"AHHHHHHH" Erza screamed as she was about to face a full force attack.
Dream over
"AHHHHHH" Erza screamed as she shot out of her bed. Erza was covered in sweat she was breathing heavily because of her dream.
"Huff huff, what was that" Erza said questioning her dream. Erza looked around her room and saw that everything was normal. She sighed in relief.
"Yeah it was just a dream" Erza said to herself. As Erza was about to get back to bed her door suddenly opened revealing Mira running in
"Erza are you okay" Mira asked. Erza looked at her best friend and smiled.
"I'm fine Mira it was just a bad dream" Erza told her.
"Are you sure?" Mira asked.
"Yes I'm fine" Erza told her sincerely
"Okay if you need anything just call me, and Erza Good Luck Tomorrow" Mira told her with a genuine smile.
"Yeah you too" Erza smiled back at this nodded. With that Mira left Erza's room, and Erza was going back to bed.
"Yes, it was just a dream" Erza thought as she went back to sleep. Erza also thought to her conversation to Millianna about Jellal and Kagura. Millianna did not go into detail about it, the only thing she told her was that Kagura is just as strong as her and she hates Jellal just as much as Millianna. Erza then decided to ask more about this when she speaks to Millianna again and try to reason with her about how Jellal has changed, Erza then decided to go back to sleep .As Erza was going back to sleep her thoughts went to a pink haired dragon slayer.
"Yes I have to win for him" Erza thought as she went back to sleep.
Akatsuki Hotel
"What was that" Natsu said as he sat up from his bed. Natsu had felt a strong spike in chakra. Natsu went out onto his balcony and looked at the brightly lit city looking for the direction he felt the strong chakra, but didn't find anything.
"I guess it was nothing" Natsu said. Natsu continued to look at the beauty of Crocus nightlife shining light everywhere. Despite how beautiful the city look Natsu had a plain and bored expression on his face.
"I have a feeling everything will change tomorrow, and our goal will finally come into fruition" Natsu said with an evil smirk. Natsu then looked back to the hotel room, seeing his team still sleeping.
"Just you wait Fairy Tail Vengeance will be ours"
Next Day, Domus Flau
"Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, and Welcome to Day 4 of the Grand Magic Games" Lola announced. This got a huge cheer from the crowd growing excitement filling the air.

"The battlefield is a large ball of you get pushed out you lose, the last one remaining will be the winner. However if only 2 players remain a special rule will be put into play known as the 5 minute rule" Lola announced.
"If any of the two remaining competitors fall out within the 5 minute timer that player will get last place" Lola explained. After the explanation competitors began to enter the sphere.

"Minerva of Sabertooth at your service" Minerva declared when she entered getting a cheer from the crowd.
"Now from Fairy Tail team A its Lucy"
"I can't lose here like day 1, I won't let my friends down again" the blonde mage declared.
"From The Akatsuki its Tobi" Tobi who was a skin tight black suit jumped in joy.
"YAAAH! Tobi is here to win" Tobi cheered childishly.
"And lastly from Quatro Puppy its Rocker" Lola had announced all the competitors and each of them are ready for battle.
"It's going to be a deep-sea rumble now who's gonna win, because the Naval battle it's about to begin." Lola shouted in the mic.
From the Fairy Tail Balcony Erza and the rest cheered on Lucy.
"Come on Lucy you got this" Cana cheered.
"If she uses Aquarius she can take them all out at once" Gray said.
"Let's Cheer for her as hard as we can" Erza said,
"Yeah" Elfman declared.
"Good luck Lu-chan" Levy cheered.
Inside the water sphere all the mages continue to float and wait for the right moment to strike.
"Looks like I have start things off Aquarius" Lucy declared as she made the first move. Lucy then summoned her said spirit a blue mermaid holding an urn. The mermaid had an annoyed and angry expression on her face.
"Oh another mermaid this will be interesting" Risley said.
Aquarius then grew tick began her attack.
"THIS IS MY DOMAIN" Aquarius shouted as she launched a giant vortex of water at everyone. The vortex managed to hit Chelia. Jenny, Risley, Rocker and Tobi.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHH" they screamed.
"Alele" Tobi shouted as he was pushed by the vortex, but he manage to get out of it.
"My turn Water Cyclone" Juvia launched her own cyclone of Water at Aquarius'.
"Don't think I'll go easy just because we're acquaintances" Aquarius told Juvia.
"Same goes here,I can't lose in front of Gray" Juvia responded adding more power to her attack.
"Juvia" Lucy said.
"My Rival" Juvia responded.
"For the Last Time, I don't want him" Lucy yelled.
"Man they're really going at it" Risley said as she watched the fight. As she was pushed back by the force of the attack.
"Yeah they're way too busy to deal with anyone else which means this is my chance" Jenny said, she then swam towards Rocker and delivered a strong kick to his face.
"AHHH" Rocker screamed.
"No boys allowed," Jenny told him as he fell out the orb.
"That's not wild" Rocker screamed as he fell out.
"Rocker of Quatro Puppy is out" Lola announced. After that the other competitors began to their attack.
"Well I better kick things up a notch" Chelia said as charged her magic and headed towards Risley. Chelia then launched her attack Risley, but Risley manage to avoid it by using her magic to slim down.
"Never underestimate Chubby power kid." the now slim Risley told Cherria.
Aquarius and Juvia were still clashing with their attacks until.
"Ugh This is getting annoying, I gotta get out of here" Aquarius told Lucy. Lucy was a little shocked by this.
"But, I need you. What's more important than helping me win" Lucy questioned. Aquarius turned towards Lucy and gave her a prideful smile.
"My man," Aquarius told her and vanished, Lucy grew a tick mark at this.
"You don't have to rub it in" Lucy yelled.
"Well it looks like Lucy's spirit decided to ditch her for a hot date" Lola announced with a blush on his face.
"Ah Young Love" Yajima said.
"Well fine without your trump card its over" Juvia declared putting more power in her attack. Lucy panicked and began to swim away.
"I need some help please" Lucy said as she grabbed two keys and used them. As the attack was getting towards Lucy a wall of wool appeared.
"Sorry we're late Lucy," Aries said.
"You're sexy defenders are here princess" Virgo said holding Lucy.
"Summon as many spirits as you want they can't help you" Juvia declared as she launched another attack.
"Stay strong you two she's incredibly powerful" Luvy told the spirits.
"This will be easier if we were on dry land, but I will do as you say princess" Virgo responded taking Lucy away from the attack.
"I'll do my best too," Aries said as she cast another wool wall.
As Juvia and Lucy continued to battle. There was a three-way battle between Risley, Jenny, and Chelia.
"You want to play with the big girl blondie" Risley told Jenny.
"Bring it" Jenny declared and attempted to attack Risley but missed. Then both the female mages looked up to see Chelia charging in with her own attack.
"Keep ignoring me, and you'll wind up on your butts" Chelia told the two launching her attack.
"Well it looks like I need to stop pulling my punches, it's time for me to unleash my ultimate attack and take you all out," Juvia said. Juvia then began to charge her latest attack.
"Unleashing my second origin combine with my love for Gray. Darling Gray Love" Juvia yelled launching a large cyclone of water with hearts in it.
"Don't use me" Gray yelled from the balcony. The attack then hit three competitors Jenny, Risley, and Cherria knocking them all out. Minerva, Tobi, and Lucy however manage to get out of the attack and avoid being knocked out.
"Woah Woah, that was a close one," Tobi said with a sign of relief.
"Wow that's amazing Juvia managed to knock three competitors at once if this keeps up she'll be queen of the Naval Battle" Lola announced with excitement.
"Well my love what do you think" Juvia thought as she looked towards Gray's balcony. Juvia then had a surprise look when she looked at Gray. He had a massive blush on his face and looked embarrassed.
"Why does he look embarrassed" Juvia wondered as she thought this she was immediately transported out of the orb. Juvia had a look of surprised when she realized what happened.
"Uh oh," Juvia said before she hit the ground.
"Juvia is out, she put up a good show, but she ends in 4th place earning 4 points for her team, With that, the leaves Tobi, Lucy, and Minerva" Lola announced as he looked at the three remaining mages.
"WOW! I'm in the top 3. YAAH," Tobi cheered childishly. As Tobi was cheering as child he began to look around at the crowd, That was when he realized he was out of the orb, Tobi looked down to see he was heading towards the ground.
"Uh oh," Tobi said, Tobi then fell and landed face first on the ground.
"Ouchie," Tobi said.
"Well looks like Tobi is out and gets 3rd place. Now all that remains is Minerva of Sabertooth, and Lucy of Fairy Tail A." Lola declared. The said female mages did not attack yet and just stared at each other.
"Wow, m'lady is as sneaky as ever, she could have taken them all out, but she let them fight each other to conserve her magic" Sting said as he watched.
"Yup that's m'lady alright," Lector said agreeing with Sting.
A 5-minute timer appeared counting down on top of the giant hourglass near the water sphere.
"Well the 5 minute rule is now in effect. Now if Lucy or Minerva fall out, during the 5 minute countdown they will get last place" Lola said.
Minerva looked at Lucy in the eye with a bored look and spoke up.
"It's the end of the line for you, I can take you out of this arena before you even blink. But the crowd wants a show and I'll be sure to give them one. So try to survive and be sure to scream." Minerva told Lucy with an evil smirk. As she said this a ball of white energy appeared behind Lucy catching her by surprise.
"What the" Lucy said, before the white ball exploded hitting Lucy pretty hard.
"AHHHH" Lucy screamed. This move caught most of Fairy Tail off guard.
"She created heat underwater" Erza said with shock.
Lucy was yet again hit by another explosion, then another, and another. After the last attack, Lucy manages to get back up.
"What was that it felt like lead, I better summon a spirit," Lucy said reaching for her keys only to realize they were gone.
"My Keys where" Lucy was shocked to find her keys were gone. She then looked towards Minerva to realize she has them in her possession.
"No way when did you" Lucy couldn't understand how Minerva got her keys, as she was thinking Lucy was once again hit by another explosion of magic power.
"AHHHHH" Lucy screamed.
"Oh no Lucy is heading towards the boundary into last place." Lola declared to the crowd as Lucy was falling, but she managed to save herself from falling. She was then hit by another explosion of magic.
"What's with this heat, its scorching me" Lucy said in pain.
"Come on Lucy," Happy said.
"If she can't get her keys back, This fight is over" Carla said as she watched in horror.
"I can take it, hit me with your best shot" Lucy declared. She was then hit by another series of explosion.
"I have to keep fighting" Lucy shouted to Minerva. Lucy was yet again hit by another series of explosion. Tobi was shocked on how Lucy keeps fighting, even though she has no chance of winning.
"What are you doing Lucy? You're going to die if you stay in there" Tobi thought as he continued to watch Lucy trying to fight Minerva.
"Oh really, you sure you don't want out of this torment," Minerva asked Lucy.
"Not happening" Lucy responded. This caused Minerva to raise an eyebrow.
"If I quit after my friends fought so hard, it would be worse than betrayal" Lucy declared to Minerva.
"And besides I know he wouldn't want me to quit, so hurt me all you want I won't quit and my guild will be NUMBER 1 AGAIN!" Lucy shouted. This declaration caused Tobi's, Yahiko's, and Konan's eyes to widen at what Lucy said.
"Lucy," Tobi thought.
Minerva stopped her assault at Lucy to see a very determined look in the blonde mage's eyes.
"They're just floating there, Minerva stopped her attacks, but she was so close to victory" Lola said. After he said this the 5 minute timer went off indicating the 5 minute rule was no longer in effect.
"The timer is up, now it's a battle for the top 2" Lola announced.
Minerva then attacked Lucy with another series of explosions.
"You haven't learned your place have you. Maybe this will teach who you're dealing with" Minerva told the blonde mage. Each keeps hitting Lucy giving her no chance of recovering to counter.
"We're Sabertooth the mightiest guild beneath the heavens. You Belong on the ground" Minerva told Lucy with an evil smile.
"AHHHHHHHH" Lucy screamed as she fell only to hit by another explosion sending her back towards Minerva. Minerva then delivered a powerful kick to Lucy's back.
"AAGG" Lucy screamed in pain.
"That chick is fighting dirty" Droy said as he watched in horror.
"Why would she stop herself from winning," Levy said growing more worried for her friend's wellbeing.
"This is sick" Cana said as she watched growing angrier as she watched.
"She's torturing her," Obito said with a disgusted look on his face as he watched.
Minerva continued to beat Lucy with punches and kicks to her body. Much to the horror of the crowd and other guilds.
"Lucy is continuing to get pummeled. Even without magic Minerva is decimating her with blow after blow" Lola announced
"Please stop this brutality its too much" said the guest announcer.
"Unfortunately there are no knockouts, all Lucy can do is take the hits," Lola said.
"STOP IT" Gray yelled. He and his team then looked towards to the Sabertooth guild who all excluding Rogue gave them smug expressions.
"You guys are going to pay for this" Erza and Gray said.
"Keep taking it, I find with it, remember this if you ever think of defying me" Minerva declare to Lucy as she continued to beat her.
"STOP THIS AT ONCE WE CAN'T LOSE THE CELESTIAL WIZARD" Arcadios commanded. This cause Mato to end the event in order to end Lucy's suffering.
"The referee has stopped the match, Sabertooth takes first place with brutal force" Lola announced. Minerva was holding Lucy by her head holding her outside the sphere of water. Lucy was not moving and her body showed very tons of cuts and bruises.
"It does not look like Lucy is responding can please get a medic on the field" Lola requested.
"LUCY" Fairy Tail shouted, the entire team jumped off the balcony t check on her. Minerva then let go of Lucy letting her fall to the ground. Gray tried to run as fast as he could to catch her, but would not get there in time. As Lucy was falling, she was caught by someone that surprised Fairy Tail, the one who caught her was Tobi.
