Author's Note:

GOOD NEWS FOR MY LOVELY FOLLOWERS. It's March Break, and that means I can stay up late writing all this. HOPEFULLY I'LL FIT SOME MORE CHAPTERS IN. Well anyways here's chapter 12 bb's!

Chapter 12: Exams

As Lucy woke up, she quickly threw on a tank top and shorts. She ran to the guild and got there at 6:59 sharp. The second she stepped in master yelled atop from everyone. "LET'S GO EVERYONE!" Master yelled as he scurried everyone out. Cana, Laxus, Gildarts, Mira and Erza had already left as they needed to prepare for the exams. Everybody who was participating and spectating then got into the ship and headed towards Craun Island.

-About half an hour later-

"WE'RE HERE!" Master yelled startling everyone. Everyone got off the ship. Natsu had required assistance to get off because of his motion sickness. Lisanna was the one to help him. The two had been dating for two months now.

As everyone walked to the campsite together and settled down, Master started introducing the exam.

"Alright my children, this exam will test you on your skills, endurance, strength and speed. The first part of the exams will be fighting an S-Class mage. You do not get to choose who to fight as I've already assigned them to you -the five contestants groaned at that- Now your opponents, Juvia. Your opponent is Cana. Gray, your opponent is Laxus. Gajeel you'll be fighting Erza. Lucy, you'll be fighting Mira and Natsu you'll be fighting Gildarts. You will go one by one. The first person for today will be Juvia and Cana. Juvia, please go to the battle area." Master said.

"Good luck Juvia!" Everyone yelled to her. Juvia stepped into the battle area while everyone else took a seat on the stands.

Juvia and Cana were constantly throwing one attack after another for ten minutes straight until they were both on their knees exhausted.

While Juvia and Cana were still fighting, Natsu scoots over to Lucy attempting to get a conversation going.

Lucy's P.O.V

"Hey Luce, how've you been? I didn't really get a chance to talk to you since you came back." Natsu said.

"Oh hi Natsu, I've been doing great actually. How about you?" I asked.

"Well now? Everything's perfect because you and Erza are back." Natsu smiled as he hugged me. I chuckled and hugged him back. "I've missed you Luce." Natsu said.

"I've missed y—" before I could finish he someone had pulled him out of my grasp follow by a cheery voice saying. "Let's go on a walk!" That cheery voice belonged to Lisanna. I didn't know much about her because we've just met, when I left she was still in Edolas; it wasn't until I was back that I heard the story of her return/revival.

Natsu tried refusing saying how he just wanted to have a simple conversation with me as we haven't talked in forever but Lisanna insisted that they should take a walk. In the end Natsu gave into Lisanna and they walked off hand-in-hand, but what surprised me was how she turned back around to give me a glare. 'Did I do something to anger her?' I asked myself curiously.

When I turned back to observe the battle it seemed like Juvia had already won. I loudly cheered for her. Juvia was filled with scars and her clothes were all ripped while Cana was practically in the same condition as her. It must've been a close match then, not before long I saw Wendy immediately rushing over healing Cana then Juvia.

After a few minutes passed, Juvia and Cana got off the battle field while Master called up Laxus and Gray for their battle. They had started fighting and not before long Juvia came over to sit beside me. "How are you feeling?" If asked a little worried.

Juvia must have sensed my worry in my voice because she immediately said. "Juvia's fine, don't worry!"

"Glad to hear that, congratulations on winning." I smirked.

"Thanks Lucy, even though you're my love rival, Juvia is glad you're back!" Juvia said excitedly.

"Ah, Juvia. I'm not your love rival. Gray and I are just friends but I'm really happy to see you too." I said.

"END OF BATTLE, LAXUS WINNER." Master yelled causing both Juvia and I to break our conversation. I looked to the battlefield, Laxus looked a little tattered up but all in all he was holding up pretty well. I then looked to Gray, he was covered in scars and lightning was surging around him. Not before long I saw Juvia down there yelling Grays name in worry. I just smiled at Juvia, you know… they do make a really cute couple. Maybe I should talk to Gray about it, not before long both contestants exited the field.

"NEXT CONTESTANTS; MIRA & LUCY!" Master yelled. Oh, my turn already? I then stood up and walked towards the battlefield, I heard everyone in the stands cheering us both on.

When I got to the battlefield, Mira said. "I'm sorry if I hurt you Lucy." Mira frowned.

I laughed. "Same goes to you Mira, I wish you luck."

"Likewise." She smirked.

"BATTLE, START!" Master yelled. Mira transformed into her Satan Soul. I quickly readied myself into battle stance. Mira then came running towards me throwing many kicks and punches, I kept dodging and dodging until I got tired of it. I decided it was my turn to counter. I threw my leg up and the front of my toes made contact with the side of her neck as she flew back a few feet. I used that time to summon one of my two demon swords. "Bloody Rain!" I said as a sword appeared in my hands. Mira then immediately came at me throwing punches and kicks again. I used my sword to block all her attacks and even managed to land one of my own. Mira's face now had a little cut on it.

"Not bad Lucy, you've improved. Now take this, DEMON BLAST!" Mira yelled.

"Leo, Regulas Beam." I said, while touching his key.

Mira's beam and Leo/my beam collided causing a huge explosion. We both fell back and as I got up Mira asked. "How are you able do that without Loke being summoned?"

"Once you have enough power…saying being able to summon ten zodiac keys and not exhausting yourself, you and the spirit are one. I can use their powers and they can use mine but that's only if your relationship with the spirit is good and you're strong enough." I simply said.

"Y-you can summon ten zodiac keys at once?! But an average celestial wizard can barely summon one for too long. You've really improved Lucy!" Mira said, obviously shocked. "Now, prepare yourself. EVIL EXPLOSION, WATER MAGIC!" Mira yelled as a huge amount of water was swimming around Mira at tremendous speed.

"OPEN! Gate of the Water Bearer, Aquarius! Giant Wave Attack Aquarius!" I yelled.

She quickly obeyed as Mira and Aquarius' attacks were once again equal. "I'm only nice to you today because I know it's your exam and you promised Scorpio and me something. Just because of that I'll wish you luck, don't lose you brat and don't summon me again, just transfer magic next time you dumbass!" Aquarius yelled as she disappeared.

"DEMON STREAM!" Mira yelled as a huge splotch of darkness came surging towards me. I then bit my finger so it was bleeding and wiped it on my Bloody Rain Sword. "Red Nightmare." I said as a huge splotch of red appeared and countered Mira's. They ended up colliding, sending both Mira and I back.

We were both started getting tired. It seemed as if Mira was now preparing for what seemed like her final attack, her Satanic Blast. I had to think fast, if I don't act soon. I'll lose, and then it hit me. "Open! Gate of Venus! Katio!" I summoned.

"Nice to see you my beautiful master." Katio said seductively.

"Same to you, no time for greetings though. I presume you know what you're here for, ready?" I asked.

"I'm always ready for my master." Katio said.

"DOUBLE VOLCANIC EROSION!" Katio and I both screamed simultaneously. Our tattoos on our hearts then began to glow as I joined my right hand with his left and a magic circle appeared around us. "With the power of a goddess and one who is above the heavens. I summon you forth." We chanted while our eyes both glowed a beautiful color white.

Then as Mira released her Satanic Blast, Katio and I released our Volcanic Erosion. I wasn't sure if this spell would be able to defeat Mira's spell but I only hoped it did as I was worn out. A huge explosion, bigger than all those previous ones went off wiping the battlefield clean. When I looked over to Mira, she was on the ground, I had won! The spectators went nuts while Lisanna and Elfman ran over to Mira clearly concerned. "That was a manly fight Lucy!" Elfman said.

I then fell down to one knee panting. "T-thanks Elfman." I said between breaths. Everyone was still shocked that I had beat Mira. Master was the first to snap out of the trance and yelled. "I D-DECLARE LUCY THE WINNER!" He yelled followed by cheers.

"Master, are you alright?" Katio asked as he bent down so that he was at the same level as me.

"Yeah, I'm alright. I'm just exhausted, that's all." I said reassuring Katio.

"Master, be more cautious of your health. That spell is very powerful and you had JUST enough energy to cast it this time, next time you do want to cast it; make sure you're at full health. Raina and I worry about you." He said worriedly.

"Don't worry about me Katio, I'm so happy to see you though. I'll heal eventually so don't worry all right?" I said.

"Fine but Raina's coming to heal you, whether you like it or not." Katio said before he went back to the celestial world to retrieve Raina.

Natsu, Gray, Happy and Erza then came running up to me. "WOAH LUCE, YOU'RE SO STRONG NOW! FIGHT ME!" Natsu yelled. "YEAH LUCY ME TOO! Gray yelled "AYE!" Was all Happy could say.

Before I could even protest Erza had bonked them both on the head and yelled. "YOU IDIOTS, DO YOU NOT SEE THE CONDITIION SHE IS IN? THAT'S RIGHT! SHE'S IN NO CONDITION TO FIGHT. NOW GO BACK TO THE STANDS!" They quickly ran back to the stands in fear. Erza then lifted me up in bridal style.

"Eh? Erza. Is this really necessary? I can walk!" I said embarrassed.

"YES! Anyways congratulations on your win. That was an amazing fight, it's the first time I've seen you use that spell with Katio though. Speaking of him, it's been so long since I've seen him. You've both improved so much." Erza said as she placed me down in the tent. "Now rest up, I'll tell you when challenge two starts." Erza said before hurrying off, seeing as how her fight with Gajeel was next.

A few moments later Raina showed up. "Ne Lucy, why are you always doing something so risky? I saw everything that happened." Raina said concerned.

I slowly sat up and said. "Raina, I'm not going to do things that would put my life on the line and even if I were to. I wouldn't do it without a reason."

"Fine, but next time be more careful. You know brother and I worry for you, now let me heal you." Raina said as I lied back down and the pain started to go away. A few minutes later I heard Raina say. "ALL DONE!"

I then sat back up and hugged her. "Thanks Raina, now go back. This is YOUR magic, be safe!" I said as Raina returned. I lied back down as I dozed off into a light nap.

-half an hour later-

"Princess. Princess. Wake up." Virgo said.

I slowly scrambled awake, "VIRGO, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" I yelled shocked.

"Eh, hime? I'm just taking care of you. Raina told me what happened and how you were still recovering so I came and changed your clothes. You also forgot to take your medicine this morning, here you go princess. You know what happens when you don't take your medicine, so don't forget!" Virgo said while handing me my pills.

"I got it, I won't forget again." I said as I quickly swallowed my medicine as I stood up to observe my outfit. I was wearing a cute tank top and leggings. The tank top had Aries' wool sitting under ALL my spirits while my leggings were just a shiny black. "Aw Virgo, this shirt is beautiful." I said in awe.

"T-thank you master." Virgo shyly said.

"Thanks for your sweet care but I need to get back to the exam now. You should go back." I said as she nodded and left. I then walked to the battlefield. When I had arrived there I saw Gildarts and Natsu fighting. I sat beside Erza and said. "I suspect you won?".

By the sound of my voice Erza smiled widely and hugged me. "Yes and I'm glad you're feeling better!"

"Raina healed me. Now tell me about your fight with Gajeel." I said.

"It was over in 20 minutes, it wasn't bad. I'm surprised he lasted so long." Erza said.

"Wow Erza, you're getting a little slow." I teased.

"Yours took 30 minutes." She glared.

"SHUT UP ERZA. My opponent was an S-Class mage, speaking of that where's Mira? I want to see her." I said.

"She was beside the tent you were resting in." Erza deadpanned. I mumbled a thanks before I ran off to see Mira's condition.

"MIRA! How are you holding up? Did Wendy heal you? I'm so sorry, I'll get Raina to heal you right now. Open G-" I was then cut off by Mira.

"No need, Wendy already healed me and great job Lucy. I'm so proud, you've become so strong." Mira said.

"I'm glad to hear you're fine and thanks Mira. I worked really hard." I said slightly blushing at her praise.

"Good, now hurry back, the second challenge is going to start soon." Mira said as I quickly ran off. By the time I got back to the battlefield, I saw Natsu lying on the ground with Gildarts on the other side standing only looking a little tattered. Looks like Natsu lost, it's just Juvia and me then.
