Sorry for not posting for so long, I was trying to fix a major plot hole that I had and I am glad to say that it is fixed and the story will be back on track. For any of you who read Mysteries of the Forest, I started writing a new chapter so I should have it posted by next Sunday.
For any of you who watch Sword Art Online, I encourage you to listen to Young Again by Hardwell featuring Chris Jones!
I would also like to give a shout out to the lovely RebelPanda! She writes amazing stories and is one of my biggest inspirations! You should go check her out if you haven't already!
Don't forget to R&R, your thoughts on my story really motivate me to keep working and they also encourage me to post quicker!
When Wendy walked into the infirmary the next morning, she was pleased to see that her sister was already awake.
Once Lucy noticed that the shorter bluenette had walked in, she hopped out her bed and tackled to the ground, bombarding her with questions.
"What happened after I lost? Who fought? Who won? Which team has the most points? Rogue said you freaked out! Did you get disqualified?"
Wendy blinked as she tried to absorb all the questions so that she could answer properly. After a moment of thought Wendy realised what her sister had said.
"ROGUE VISITED YOU?" She yelled as she shook her sister back and forth.
Lucy nodded and got off Wendy, walking over to her bed. "Can you heal me please?" She asked as she sat down.
Wendy nodded and crawled onto the bed and started to heal her sister while she explained the events of Rogue's visit.
Wendy smiled at how cute her sister and Rogue were. Once Lucy finished talking, Wendy told her what happened the previous day.
(flashback)
After Lucy had been taken to the infirmary, Wendy was told to go back to the viewing area and watch the rest of the days fights. The bluenette wasn't very pleased with that development but decided to watch so that she could tell Lucy when she woke up.
As Wendy walked away, she looked up to the Sabertooth guild stands and glared at the guild, sending an extra pointed glare towards Rogue, who was wallowing in concealed guilt.
After the arena quieted down again, Mato walked out and announced who would be competing next. The pumpkin man held up his microphone and started to talk. "Well, wasn't that exciting!" He cheered awkwardly, ignoring the murderous aura coming from Fairy Tail. "For the first battle of the day we have Yuki from Lamia Scale vs. Raven Tail's Obra!"
The crowd cheered as the two walked to the arena and began to fight. Wendy rolled her eyes and ignored most of the battle, duly noting that Obra won after only ten minutes.
Next they called up Eve and Rufus out for a fight. Wendy sat up and watched as Rufus toyed with Eve like Cleo, her sisters exceed, toyed with mice. After Rufus got board of Eve's attacks, her finished the battle and walked off with his victory. After that, Milliana from Mermaid Heel fought Semmes from Quatro Puppy and lost.
Wendy was now quite excited. All the guilds had gone leaving Fairy Tail A and B to fight each other. Wendy looked at all her guild members and wondered who was going to fight who. After Mato announced the fighters, Wendy grinned a maniacal grin and started placing bets on who would win. The bluenette was practically bouncing in her seat as she watched the two males walk into the arena and wait for the fight to begin.
Natsu Dragneel stood 15 feet to Gajeel Redfox's right with a stupid grin on his face. The iron mage turned and looked at Natsu as he waited for the salmon haired mage to make the first move.
Natsu grinned and bumped his fists together. "I'm all fired up now!" He yelled as she rushed towards Gajeel with his fist ablaze.
The brunette smirked and dodged the punch, ducking under Natsu's arm and hitting the younger mage in the stomach with an iron dragons fist.
Natsu coughed and spun around, shooting a fire dragons roar in Gajeel's general direction.
Gajeel grinned and attempted to dodge the attack, only getting his arm singed. Natsu on the other hand laughed as she assumed he had done more damage to the other mage that he really had.
After the two dragon slayers fought that way for another five minutes, they started to get more serious since they wanted to finish the match.
A barrage of iron fists were sent in the direction of the fire mage, who retaliated with a series of flaming kicks.
Gajeel growled as his arms started to hurt from blocking Natsu's kicks. The brunette pushed the fire mage off him and kicked Natsu back, successfully pushing the fire mage back a few feet.
Both mages took a deep breath before shouting their next attack.
"Fire/Iron Dragons Roar!"
The two columns of fire and Iron shot towards the opposing mage, meeting in the middle and creating a large explosion. By the time the dust settled, both mages were still standing but they were slightly scraped up and they were also panting lightly.
"Is that all you've got?" Natsu shouted, smirking when he finished.
Gajeel grinned and cracked his knuckles. "Could say the same for you Salamander."
The arena erupted in cheers as the two mages rushed each other again. After exchanging a few more blows, Natsu called out his next attack.
"Fire Dragon's Talon!"
Natsu's foot swung towards Gajeels head as a trail of fire followed it. Gajeel raised his hands quick enough and managed to catch Natsu's foot, swinging the younger mage in a circle before throwing him into the air and into the arena wall.
The crowd roared as Natsu growled and pulled himself out of the rubble, brushing dust out of his eyes and resuming his fighting stance, lighting his fist once more. Gajeel smirked and transformed his fist into iron.
The two mages rushed each other with amused grins plastered on their faces.
Suddenly, once the two dragon slayers were within a few feet of each other, a loud horn cut the crowds cheers short.
Natsu and Gajeel froze, their magic dying down as they looked around for what caused the arena to be silenced.
Mato the walked onto the field with a microphone in hand. "Too bad…" The pumpkin sang. "Looks like you two have reached the twenty minute limit… Five points for each Fairy Tail team!"
The crowd cheered and Mato waited for them to quiet down, meanwhile Natsu and Gajeel returned to the Fairy Tail stand.
"To conclude the day, I will now announce the scores!
"In first place, we have Raven Tail with a grand total of 44 points!"
When that was announced, there was a mix of cheers and boos while team Raven Tail stood unmoving, ignoring the cheering.
Mato cleared his throat and continued. "In second place we have Sabertooth with 40 points and Lamia Scale in third with 28 points!
"Next in fourth place is Fairy Tail A with 27 points followed by their sister team Fairy Tail B with 25 points in fifth! After that we have Mermaid Heel in sixth with 23 point and in last place we have Quatro Puppy and Blue Pegasus with 22 points!"
Lucy smiled at her sister as she finished talking. Wendy had finished healing the few wounds that remained from the day before sometime in the middle of her story and had moved to her sisters side, watching as she removed her bandages.
Wendy stood up and walked over to the chair in Lucy's room, picking up the bag she had brought with her and chucking it at Lucy.
"You should get dressed, we need to leave soon."
Lucy nodded, dumping the contents of the bag on the bed, noticing that her sister had packed her swords, clean undergarments, toiletries, her choker necklace that matched Wendy's, her cloak, shoes, a pair of jean shorts and one of those weird baggy muscle shirt things that was white with a purple dragon on it.
The blond looked at her sister and raised her eyebrow.
Wendy shrugged. "What? I doubt you'll be participating today so I didn't think it would matter!"
Lucy rolled her eyes and went to change.
After Lucy had gotten dressed, the girls made their way to the viewing area where the rest of the guild was waiting.
Once they all noticed Lucy, the guild rushed forwards and had a giant group hug.
"I'm glad you're okay Lu-chan!" Levy said as she gave her friend a hug.
"Thanks Levy-chan!"
Then Erza came over and gave Lucy a good natured punch on the shoulder. Lucy smiled and returned the gesture, earning a smile from the redhead.
Next Gray and Natsu tried to hug Lucy but it just ended with them fighting.
Lucy rolled her eyes and pulled Wendy to the railing as she watched people file into the arena like ants to an ant hill. She noticed Sabertooth was already there as well and managed to catch Rogue's eye, giving him a small smile before looking away.
After waiting for a good ten minutes, Mato walked into the arena, greeting the guest and announcing the special event of the day.
"Today we have an event called Pandemonium…"
Lucy ignored the rest of the explanation, watching birds fly above the arena.
(A.N. Skipping Pandemonium since you know what happened… If you don't know, Erza participated and won by defeating 1000 monsters then the other contestants had to see who had the strongest attack, which Cana won by using Fairy Glitter.)
After the preliminary event finished, Mato returned.
"Well wasn't that exciting! Now for today's battles we have something special planned, instead of one on one battles today we will have two on two battles! To kick off this new event we will have Rabbit and Ichiya from Blue Pegasus vs. Bacchus and Rocker from Quatro Puppy!"
When Lucy heard Mato say two on two battles, her heart practically stopped, worry flashing across her face as she turned to look at the Sabertooth stand.
When her eyes found Rogue she noticed he was already looking at her. The brunette gave her a small smile and shook his head as if he was telling her not to worry. Lucy smiled back and looked at the battle again just in time to see that Rabbit was Nichiya, Ichiya's Exceed counterpart.
The blonde shivered and covered Cleos eyes as she noticed that the exceed had abandoned Charle when she saw Nychiya and crawled into her owners lap.
Erza had stubbly walked over to Mystogan *cough* Jellal *cough* and buried her face in his chest while she shivered and mumbled thing like 'their can't be two' or 'save me'.
Wendy looked at Lucy with a look of pure terror on her face as she remembered how creepy she thought Ichiya was as a child.
Finally when Quatro Puppy won and the creepy Blue Pegasus men left, Lucy started to breath normally.
Next Millianna and Kagura from Mermaid Heel walked out to fight Lyon and Cheria from Lamia Scale.
Once the match started, Millianna and Cheria started to fight each other while the more serious Kagura and Lyon fought.
Wendy kept looking from the clock then back to the fight since the time was almost up. Kagura and Lyon were both very good fighters but after watching Kagura fight for the past seven years, she could tell that the swordswoman wasn't fighting to her full potential.
As the horn that signaled the end of a fight went off, the two teams went back to their areas and the games continued as Mato announced that the next fight was between Laxus and Mira from Fairy Tail B and Alexi and Obra from Raven Tail.
When the battle started, the Short Sword Sisters and Fairy Tail alike were surprised to see that Laxus and Mirajane were getting creamed by Raven Tail, but in reality it was just an illusion.
When Laxus and Mira were questioned on what the Lumen Histoire was, both mages were at a loss so when Ivan, who was disguised as Alexi started to attack them with his guild, the two took the chance to show them what Fairy Tail was made of.
When the illusion finally cleared, Mirajane and Laxus were standing side by side, Mira in her Satan Soul and Laxus surrounded by lightning.
Lucy smirked and cheered for her guildmates along with the rest of the arena.
Suddenly, Lucy stopped cheering as a sense of dread filled her. The only teams that hadn't gone were Fairy Tail A and Sabertooth.
Lucy looked over to Wendy, who had also stopped cheering and was now wringing her hands in anticipation.
Once Ivan and his guild were dragged away, Lucy watched as Mato walked into the arena.
"Now it's time for the match many have been waiting for, a match that could settle a rivalry you've all witnessed over the years… The last match of the day will be between Sabertooths Twin Dragons and Fairy Tail A's Short Sword Sisters!"
The arena exploded into applause as confetti was thrown and signs were lifted into the air.
Lucy looked down and noticed that Cleo was staring at her.
"I hope you don't lose…" The exceed stated innocently.
Lucy felt a hand on her shoulder and looked up to see Wendy looking down at her with a grim expression.
"We can do this." She said as her sister sat up.
Lucy took a breath and nodded, watching as her sisters pupils turned to slits and focusing her magic to her eyes for a moment as well, sharpening her vision.
Lucy put Cleo down and stood up, touching her sister's shoulder and teleporting them both to the arena floor.
When they re-appeared, Lucy looked at Rogue and gave a small nod to him.
"Oi Blondie! What took you and Blueberry so long?" Sting shouted.
Both girls growled and drew their swords, stepping back until they were at least twenty feet away.
Lucy took a breath and focused, ignoring all of her thoughts on whether or not she should fight Rogue.
Suddenly a gong sounded and Mato yelled begin.
The boys got into fighting positions and waited for the girls to advance.
"Lets do this." Wendy said.
Lucy nodded and the girls broke into a sprint, blades at the ready.
Rogue drew his katana and watched as Lucy and Wendy started to move in a serpentine pattern, crossing in front of each other in an attempt to confuse the boys.
Once Wendy and Lucy were within 7 feet of the boys, Wendy turned and stopped running, kneeling down and cupping her hands, her back turned to the boys. Sting rushed forwards just as Lucy stepped onto her sisters hand and jumping into the air and teleporting.
Once Lucy's foot left Wendy's hand, the bluenette shot up and did a backwards handspring, kicking both the boys in the face before jumping away.
Rogue and Sting hit the ground from the force but before they got up, they heard someone yell an attack.
"Universal Dragons Roar!"
Rogue looked up and noticed that Lucy was falling towards earth and that her attack was rapidly descending upon the two mages.
Rogue turned into a shadow and evaded the attack, leaving his partner to face it head on.
Lucy landed on the ground and backed up so that she was beside her sister while she waited for Sting to get up.
Once the male mage was on his feet, the twins rushed forwards and attacked the girls.
"White Dragons Talon!" Sting yelled as he sent his attack towards Wendy.
"Shadow Dragons Slash!" Rogue did the same except he attacked Lucy.
The girls yelped and were thrown back.
Rogue and Sting wasted no time in sending a roar towards the unguarded girls, sending them flying into the arena wall.
Lucy growled and stood up, sheathing her swords with her sister. Both girls clenched their fists and ran towards the boys, hitting them with a barrage of Universal and Sky dragon fists.
When they jumped back, the girl took to opportunity to remove their cloaks, noticing that Rogue was doing the same.
Sting looked over at Rogue and nodded, causing the brunette to roll his eyes. Suddenly, the Twin Dragons magic power spiked and their elements started to pulsate off of them, forming scales as they entered dragon force.
Wendy giggled while Lucy smiled. "Four can play at that game." She said as she closed her eyes.
Lucy did the same as her magic power spiked in sync with her sisters. Lucy's hair floated off her shoulders and turned from blonde to a midnight purple while Wendy's hair turned pink.
Sting and Rogue watched as wing-like scales appeared on Wendy and as ovalish ones appeared on Lucy as well, spiking off at her head to look like horns.
When the sisters opened their eyes again, Fairy Tail was shocked to see that their warm brown eyes had also changed. Wendy's had turned a shade darker than her hair while Lucy's were a piercing silver.
Both girls smiled, showing off their sharpened fangs.
Rogue smirked and rolled his eyes while Sting just laughed.
The boys rushed forwards but as soon as they were in range of the girls, a massive windwall separated them.
When the wall disappeared, the girls were hovering ten feet above the ground, back to back with their arms outstretched.
"Four winds of the world heed our call." Wendy chanted.
"For we hold dominion over the heavens." Lucy added as the wind started to pick up in the arena.
"We are the empress' of the skies and all shall yield to our rage!"They yelled as they raised their hands. The sky above the arena blackened and stars appeared causing the air to thin and the temperature to drop.
"UNIVERSAL SKY DRAGONS ETHEREAL JUDGEMENT!"
Suddenly the winds focused into large ball above their hands, the stars from above shooting into it as it expanded then exploded sending a pillar of wind and gravity magic towards the arena floor.
A deafening explosion was heard and the arena floor caved, sending the Twin Dragons down from the power of the spell, the girls descending slowly as the spell cleared up. Once their feet touched down, they drew their swords and jumped down after the boys.
Well, I hope you all liked this chapter… Please review, it really motivates me!
Autumn-chan out!
