Chapter 4
I cracked open my eyes and saw that the sun was already close to its zenith, but as soon as I tried to get out of bed, Sting pulled me back down.
"Sting let me go. It's almost noon!" I hissed at him. Almost immediately he sat bolt upright.
"What?!" He yelled. He leapt out of the bed and grabbed on his robes before looking back at me.
"What are you waiting for? Get a move on!" I got up, covering a giggle with my hand, grabbed my clothes and headed into the bathroom to shower and get dressed. Once we were ready we rushed over to the arena just in time to catch the end of Minerva and Rufus' match. Once we got there, we saw Minerva and Rufus standing over two members from Quattro Cerberus. Looking up at the scores, I saw that Fairy Tail, Blue Pegasus and now us had won our matches today since all our scores had gone up by 10 points. What caught my eye was a group of people waiting in the wings, all of them wearing black cloaks with different patterns, seemingly subscribing them to a different element. Rogue walked up to Sting and me giving me a strange look.
"I was going to ask why I can smell you all over each other but right now we have more pressing matters."
"What is it Rogue?"
"Use your nose, Sting." Sting sniffed deeply.
"That's impossible. There's no way that he is still alive." Before I could ask Sting what he was so shocked about one of the figures was thrown into the middle of the arena. I looked and saw Cobra standing near where the guy he had thrown had been.
"Why the fuck are you here?! Better yet, how the fuck are you still alive?! I killed you myself!" The man picked himself up off the ground tossing back his hood.
"Erik, stand down!" Erza was standing in the Fairy Tail box looking to give Cobra one of her famous death stares. Before Cobra could respond another of the cloaked people leapt at Erza surrounded by what looked like Jellal's meteor spell. Jellal jumped in front of Erza similar to how he did when Zero attacked Natsu. The guys hood fell back to reveal... another Jellal. The hell is going on?! Looking around I saw that the rest of the Oracion Seis had joined Cobra in his fight with Zero while Rogue seemed to be making his way towards the bulkiest of the cloaked figures who was heading towards Minerva. As the mans hood fell back Sting made a sharp intake of breath. Sting leapt down calling out the name of Sabertooth's former master as he headed towards the man. Looking back at Fairy Tail I saw that three cloaked figures had begun to engage in battles with one of them targeting Natsu and Lucy and the other going after Laxus and the third seemed to be heading for Gray.
"Gajeel! You have grown weak!" Standing a top one of the four massive statues was a diminutive man holding Levy and a small child who couldn't have been more than one year old.
"Let her go Josè!" Roared Gajeel his metal scales forming over his skin, his hair raising in a massive black mane behind him. Lighting up my wings I took off towards the Josè but before I could reach him I was knocked to the ground by two brawling wizards, one of them wearing the signature cloak and the other was Gildarts. As the three of us crashed into the ground I got a good look at the man Gildarts was fighting. He looked just like the ace of Fairy Tail but had black hair and both his arms and legs. On his right shoulder was a black guild mark in the shape of a scythe and skull.
"Ah, Raiko right on time. We are going to have so much fun, just like the old times."
"Mest, get everyone who is fighting out of here now!" Yelled Erza.
"You are going to owe me for this Erza." The wizard raises his hands and everything changed.
