Hey! Chapter three, but I still have to finish chapter four... So, I decided, it will be every other Wednesday and every Saturday. So, next chapter will be in one week. I also decided, since I'm new to fanfics, to add a little fact of the type of fanfics I write, or how I write every chapter!
This chapter 's fact: English (including grammar and reading) is (are) my worst(s) subject in school! So it's kind of crazy writing a story, and having people actually read it.
And remember: which StiCy story you guys want next - your choices are listed in the previous chapter.
So, let's continue.
Stars Were Meant For Light; Chapter 03: Cheated
Erza's P.O.V
I was watching as Gray participated in today's game: Hidden. The aim of the game was the same as a very complicated game of Hide 'n' Seek. Though, I couldn't get Lucy off my mind – she had been gone, for longer than I had expected.
This worried me, so it was time I went to look for her. "Natsu, Elfman," I turned to look at them, "Lucy's been gone for some time; I'm going to look for her. You two," I glared, before continuing, "Stay here – or else."
I didn't wait for their response – I knew they would listen. So, I turned and left. I was walking when a heard something – possibly the sound of bricks crumbling. I started for that direction then.
After heading that way, I saw something that completely worried me: Lucy, unconscious and in the arms of a Sabertooth member. I couldn't be reasonable with this.
Soon my sword was at their neck and the word: "Halt" had come out of my mouth.
Sting's P.O.V
I was just standing there, looking at Lucy, when I heard the word: "Halt," and felt something sharp poking at my neck. I looked up to see who it was.
Titania.
I was at a lost for words. This clearly wasn't good for me. If she doesn't believe me, when I say Minerva did this, than I lose her again. She won't trust me – especially if one of her good friends tells her that I was carrying her unconscious body.
I was at a loss for words – I didn't know what to say. Thankfully, Lector spoke to her, giving me time to think.
"Are you threatening the Sting Eucliffe? Half of the Amazing Twin Dragons of Sabertooth, Fairy? You may have been one of the strongest mages in the past, but Sting has seven years of training on you, weakling!" Lector said.
Boy, I love this Exceed, but he just made the biggest mistake anyone could've ever made.
"Excuse me?" She spoke, having an evil aura even greater than Minerva's and a glare that could kill. "Weak? I may not have what it takes to be 'strong' in Sabertooth's book, but I obtain my strength from my friends. So, if destroying you and all of Sabertooth is what I'd have to do to protect my friends, then so be it."
I could tell the words she said were true, so I had no reason not to be truthful myself.
I told her everything. From when I met Lucy, to now.
Erza's P.O.V
He's currently telling me how, in the year X783, the year before Lucy joined Fairy Tail, he met her, and they fought together. How he had trained to protect her. He also said it was not he who had knocked Lucy out, but one of his comrades – who disliked him being with a Fairy.
I wasn't sure if I could trust him or not – his words sounded so sincere, but there was nothing else to confirm he was telling the truth. Lucy had never mentioned a boy that she met, before joining Fairy Tail. All I could do was wait for Lucy to awake, and see if she confirms these things.
"Well, I must return to my team, with Lucy." Before he could say something, I spoke again, "I'll see what she says when she wakes up – if I found out you were lying," I requipped into my Heaven's Wheel Armor, "You will feel the wrath of my swords."
I felt like I got my point through, so I left.
Sting's P.O.V
It seems Titania is as scary as they said she was – just as scary as they said 7 years ago.
It makes me angry, though, that I would have to wait to finally catch up with Blondie. So, it seems like I would be watching the games, for now.
I made my way back to my team, just as the first game, Hidden, ended. What the game was actually about – I could care less. It wasn't a surprise when I saw that Rufus, who had participated for my team, had claimed 1st place.
"Good job, Rufus!" I said, as he returned from the game.
"Yes, I recorded every moment in my memory." He paused, and then said: "Seeing those sad excuses for mages try to escape my spell made me laugh."
I couldn't help but laugh – even though I knew some of the mages outside of today's match are considerably strong. "I wish I was there to see it." I said in between laughs.
"Yeah, that remi-" Orga started, but was soon interrupted by Mato, who was announcing the battles for day one.
"Our first match of this year's Grand Magic Games is: Lucy Heartfilia, of Team Fairy Tail A, versus Flare Corona, of Team Raven Tail!" Mato announced. I was taken back by the announcement, and quickly glanced over to Fairy Tail A's area. Surprisingly, Lucy seemed to have woken up.
Well, it's time to see if Blondie is as strong as I thought she was, years ago. Even if she's not, though, I wouldn't care.
She's my Blondie.
Lucy's P.O.V
I was waking up from my 'slumber,' expecting to see Sting. It wasn't him I saw, though, it was Erza; she was carrying me.
She started speaking when she noticed I woke up. "Ah, Lucy, you're awake. I need to
ta-" she was cut off, by a booming voice.
"Our first match of this year's Grand Magic Games is: Lucy Heartfilia, of Team Fairy Tail A, versus Flare Corona, of Team Raven Tail!" Mato announced. I was taken aback – me the first person to fight in this year's Grand Magic Games.
"I guess it will have to wait," Erza said, "Good luck – show them what Fairy Tail is made of!"
I smiled, "Of course, I will!" I walked out onto the field, only to see a creepy red-haired lady, who seemed to be waiting for me.
"I've been waiting, Blondie." She said.
Why does everyone call me that, I thought to myself. My thoughts, like many things, were interrupted by a booming voice, "You may begin your battle… NOW!"
"Open – Gate of the Golden Bull: Taurus!" I shouted, as Taurus came out of his gate. Before he could start his flirting, I quickly ordered him to attack Flare. Unfortunately, she dodged it.
"Is that all you got, Blondie?" She's really getting on my nerves. First, her guild attacked Wendy, and, now, she's given me a stupid nickname.
I didn't know if I could, but I tried opening a second gate, "Open - Gate of the Giant Scorpion: Scorpio!" It worked! "Scorpio, attack her!" He pointed his tail at her, and used his 'Sand Buster.' When the sand cleared, I saw something I didn't know I would ever see: she was using her hair as a shield.
"Come on, Blondie, I wanted to fight a wizard, not some weak, pathetic excuse for a person." This hit me hard.
"Scorpio, Taurus, combine your attacks and show her what we can do!" I commanded. I couldn't let her taunts get to me.
"Sandstorm Axe Aldebaran!" They screeched at the same time. I finally landed a hit. She went flying.
While in midair, though, she attacked, "Hair Shower – Wolf Fang!"
Suddenly, a giant wolf made of hair lunged at me, but I was quick. I forced Taurus' and Scorpio's gates close, and summoned Cancer. "Cancer, quick – cut her hair!" And he cut her hair.
She looked angry after that. "My hair," She paused, "YOU'LL PAY, FOR THAT!" She was beyond angry.
She then sent her hair underground. "Huh – what?" Then, her hair shot up from under the ground, grabbing my feet and pulling me into the air.
"LUCY!" I heard Natsu and Erza yell out.
"I can move my hair any way I want to, Blondie." She then brought her hair down smashing me on the ground.
An idea popped into my head and I smirked. "If that's the case, I can move my Fleuve d'étoiles any way I want." I then swung it and grabbed Flare's wrist. Then, we pull at each other, both of us spinning in the air, before falling to the ground.
It didn't stop me, though – I stood up with full confidence
I then heard the announced speak: "This is a very intense match – there hasn't been any time to breathe, at all!"
Then, today's guest speaker, Jenny Realight, spoke, "It seems Fairy Tail has the advantage!"
I then noticed my boots were ripped. Flare then sent her hair underground again. I frantically looked all over, trying to find out where it would resurface. But, then I saw Flare pointing at my guild, and I looked over. Her hair was next to Asuka Connell, and nobody noticed.
"Asu-" I tried to warn her, but Flare covered my mouth with her hair.
"You better stay quiet, Blondie, or something may happened to the poor girl." Flare said. Then she sent her hair at me, whipping me over and over.
"It seems the fight has turned one sided." Chapati observed.
"What happened?" Jenny asked.
I couldn't risk Asuka's life. "I'm sorry, everyone." I whispered to myself. I then tried to surrender, only for Flare to hit me with her hair, again.
"Who said you were allowed to speak?" Flare questioned me. Then, she grabbed all of my limbs with her hair. "I'm going to have plenty of fun with you! I could strip in front of everyone. Or, perhaps… I could brand you with Raven Tail's guild mark for life!" She made her hair into the Raven Tail guild mark. "Where would you like it?" She asked evilly.
"Please… please don't." I pleaded her.
"Who said you could speak?" Flare asked, but then her face brightened up, "I'll put it over your guild mark!"
"No!" I yelled, "Anywhere, but there."
"LUCY!" I turn to see who yelled my name. It was Natsu. I saw he was next to Asuka, and had burned Flare's hair. "Now's your chance!" He yelled.
"Thanks, Natsu!" It was my chance. I continued, and tried to summon a spirit without a key. "Open – Gate of the Twins: Gemini!" And it worked. Gemini appeared and cut Flare's hair while attacking her, too.
I turned to them, "It's time for 'that.'" I say.
"We haven't practiced enough!" Gemi said.
"We don't know if we can do it…" Mini said, after Gemi.
"Change into me." I commanded. Then, I blushed deep red, seeing that they transformed into me, but only in a towel. But I couldn't let that get to me now.
"Quick – turn into Laxus or Erza, and you'd be unbeatable!" I heard Jet say. I explained that their power had to be equal or near to mine. Then, we started to chant:
"Survey the Heavens, Open the Heavens…
All the stars, far and wide…
Show me thy appearance…
With such shine.
Oh Tetrabiblos…
I am the ruler of the stars…
Aspect become complete…
Open thy malevolent gate.
Oh 88 Stars of the Heavens…
Shine!
Urano Metria!"
I casted the spell, and saw Flare cowering in fear. But then, everything disappeared – the stars, the sky. Everyone was baffled, Flare still cowering in fear. Then, I fell; ending the battle in a victory for Raven Tail. Before I fell, I looked up at Raven Tail, and concluded two things:
Raven Tail had interfered and that I let Fairy Tail down.
