Hello Hello~
I've been waiting for this chapter since the moment that I started. Finally some action from Luka her side. I think she gets pretty bored by only looking at it. It could have been broader but I think this was enough. Since reasons~!


Chapter Seven: Busted

I was some way entangled with Laxus until I felt it. I pushed him away from me and stared at the ground. I couldn't register what he was saying to me but this was something I felt before. "Zeref." Was all I could say. I looked up at him, pleading that he would understand. He looked at me with a questioned look. "Zeref?" He said, he knew about the quest that Grimoire Heart was taking. Did he know I was a part of them? Well not fully but ah whatever "I have to go. I need to help Jellal.", "Do you ever think about yourself?" Was I allowed to? I had so much more responsibility then when I was seventeen. I needed to find the Dragons, I needed to help Jellal and the others to find this essence of Zeref and now I needed to know what Sting was up to. "I think about you," was the best answer I could give him now, an answer that was true. So I pecked him on the cheek and ran away to find Jellal somewhere.

I should first check it through the earth and by that I found him quick enough. We met in the tribunes, he of course was dressed as Mystogan. I looked where he was looking. "You think that it's Cheria?" He slowly nodded, keeping in the role of Mystogan. I followed Jellal as he continue to walk to the balustrade. I looked behind me and I wanted to apologize to the people behind but I saw Dranbalt standing there. Jellal must have seen it too. "We can talk somewhere else." I said but he shook his head. "No I need to see what Cheria will do. We need to protect Wendy." I simply couldn't believe it was Cheria. "She is a God Slayer. It might be that, but she wouldn't be possessed by Zeref." He looked at me and his eyes were angry, I've not seen that many times with him, he wasn't angry very easily. "You've never experienced that. Leave it to me." I nodded and still was one step behind. Maybe I should leave this to Grimoire Heart. To Jellal but he couldn't stop this, Wendy was putting so much effort into this. The Match was over but the essence of Zeref wasn't. I had to talk to Sting but what was more important? "The Council is following. I leave this to you." Jellal immediately disappeared after saying that, using Magic and I looked at Dranbalt. "What's going on?" I asked Dranbalt but he shook his head. "Who is this Mystogan person?" Was all he said before he disappeared too. Shit! I had to warn the others. I found Jellal his essence again and ran downstairs but found Yajima there already. Saving Jellal his ass. I quickly left before someone saw me.

"I hope you have changed your mind about what I said yesterday." I sat on the bridge in the middle of the city and next to me: Sting. I should have talked to Rogue, who was way better at these things but Sting was easier to contact. Rogue barely said anything. Sting pulled an arrogant face. "I never said I didn't agree. However this is how you get to be the Strongest Guild of Fiore." I looked at him with anger. For so far my Emilia role. "No it doesn't. Fairy Tail has always been the strongest Guild. I believe that now their lost ones are back, you will lose. They fight for friendship. You fight out of fear." He grabbed my wrist. "I am not afraid." He was really angry and I had to bite my tongue to not start arguing again. "I'm worried about your Guild, Sting. Fighting isn't everything. You should do what you like. You, Lector, Rogue and Frosch. Not be pulled down by such a Master.", "You know nothing." Was what he said. I thought I had blown it but here Sting still stood next to me. "You don't know anything about me, Emilia. Why do you care?" Yeah why did I care? Did I only care because he carried the Dragon's Essence? I kept quiet and stared at his hand whom was still holding my wrist. "I care because I believe you can do better." I whispered actually hoping that he didn't hear me. However his eyes tried to pull out the answer when he locked them with mine. So blue, so clear. "This is not you. You are so full arrogance, so angry. I've seen you, laughing, taking care of others. I believe that's more you. I like that you better." I hoped that I explained it very well. He came closer and I was afraid of what he would do to me. There had been one more time in my life that I didn't want to use my magic to show others who I was. That ended well, this would not. "I've got to go." I muttered and I jumped off. "Good luck tomorrow. I hope you will reconsider my words. Because I mean you no harm." He looked disappointed, with a flash of anger but he smiled to me. "Thanks. Emilia." For a second I kept looking at him. I don't fully understood why but I wished that I could have told him right here, right now that I wasn't Emilia. That it had been a lie. I should have done that but I didn't. Instead of that I went away, without looking back to find Lahar.

My conversation with Lahar was a lot easier. He was accompanied by Dranbalt and it was not a secret that we weren't the best of friends. It was a short conversation about what I had found and the essence of Zeref his magic. "Is there more you want to say?" Lahar said when we were finished discussing the important matters. "If this is over and it means that Sting and Rogue are not familiar with the Dragons. I quite." They both looked shocked and it was some kind of pang inside me. It felt like giving up. "I have been around whole Fiore. I have tried so many ways but nothing came out of it. I don't know anything anymore so I give up. I'll be a full member of my Guild again. I will not tell anyone of this or so. But I can no longer divide my life in my Guild and my Council Job." They didn't say anything, I thought that Dranbalt gave me a pitied look. Something I didn't need. Lahar looked at me with a stern look. "Is there something else you want to tell us?" I first didn't understand what he meant. But he must have meant Jellal. "You mean Jellal? I haven't found him." I hoped he couldn't feel me lying. I turned around and walked away, also this time I didn't look back.

I slept very badly that night but the idea was two more days and the Grand Magic Games were over. If Grimoire Heart couldn't find more of Zeref his magic, what would happen? What would happen to everyone?
The fourth day I was almost too late. Everyone had already left so I took some breakfast and ran towards the arena. I took my old spot at the balustrade again and listened to the explanation of the Naval Battle. I would support Lucy and Juvia. I was glad to see Juvia battle again. Although I first thought that once you participate in one of the battles, you could only do it once? Apparently my mistake. I wasn't happy about the fact that Minerva was joining too. I didn't trust her and my feelings were right. I was really angry about what she did and my heart ached for Lucy. I looked at the Sabertooth booth and my eyes met Sting. I looked really angry and although he smiled for a few seconds, his smile quickly disappeared and he stopped looking at me. I felt my body trembling, I hated Sabertooth more than I had ever expected. This was enough, I was totally done with them. I didn't need interviews. I didn't need Sting Eucliffe to find the Dragons. I will find another way or I would not find them at all. Maybe they didn't want to be found! When Lucy was saved, I ran downstairs to meet up with the others at the end of the arena. I saw that Rufus, Orga and Sting were at the field too. Opposite of Erza, Gray and Natsu. I had hoped that Sting would act so much better. I looked to find Rogue but he was still in the booth. It surprised me, yet I believed that he was better than all the others.
I just hoped that Lucy was alright. Wendy and Cheria saved her by healing some of her major wounds. I followed them to the infirmary. Fairy Tail Team B arrived too. I took Laxus his hand and smiled when Lucy woke up. Although it hurt me when she apologized for losing. She didn't have to, besides she haven't lost. Master appeared and said that team A and B must unite.

The battles started soon after that and Natsu needed some private time with Lucy, so I left to go to the same place as always.
Natsu Dragneel & Gajeel Redfox vs. Sting Eucliffe and Rogue Cheney.
You could guess who I was supporting. Although I didn't show any cheers because I was anxious. I had missed the fact that Chapati Rola was explaining the Dragon Slayers that were known.
"Sabertooth has of course the Twin Dragon Slayers. The other five are in Fairy Tail." I didn't listen and I should have.
1. Natsu Dragoneel
2. Gajeel Redfox
3. Wendy Marvell
4. Laxus Dreyar
"And last, she isn't participating in the Grand Magic Games." I looked up to see my face smile at me from the Lacrima screen. "Luka Scarlet. Yes you heared it right. The famous Titania Erza has a sister and she is a Dragon Slayer. The Earth Dragon Slayer." It went pretty fast after that. I felt a soaring pain in my back and I toppled over the balustrade and got another push and fell in the Arena. The battle between my fellow Dragon Slayers stopped and they looked at me. "Oh oh. What's going on?" Chapati said and I would like to know that too. I looked up in the angriest face I have ever seen. Jiemma, Master of Sabertooth held his big fists above me. "I'll destroy you for your treachery." Oh oh. He jumped down before me and I tried to get up with the pain in my back. I felt something dripping and believed that he had ruined my outfit and made me bleed. I was pushed backwards because he attacked me with a shockwave. "Ha. Is that everything you can do." Maybe when I was seventeen I would have been defeated immediately but I have trained seven whole years. With Jellal, Ultear, Meredy and many more. I was so much more than only the Dragon Slayer I've been seven years ago. I now had fully mastered the ability of the Earth. I stood up. "Earth's Dragon Earthquake!" I must admit that I was first checking out the abilities of Sabertooth's Master but I had expected to make at least some impact. "Earth Dragon's Metallic Ball!" I pressed my hands in a upright v-formation and a shimmering black ball appeared and pushed Jiemma in the chest. Not powerfull enough. He tried to blow up another attack in my face but I dodged. I could hear Chapalti his comments but I couldn't catch what he was saying. "LUKA!" I heard Erza but I had no time to look at her. "This has to stop!" I heard a lot but I also heard people scream for a fight. I balled my fist and pushed the sides together: "Earth Dragon's Lava Stream!" There was a small change in Jiemma his face. I must have hit him painfully around his legs. "Enough," In front of us appeared the pumpkin, refugee. "Please stop fighting." I pulled an arrogant face but nodded. I wasn't the one who had started. "Fine." I said but hell no that I would walk away first. I wouldn't show him my bleeding back. I looked at Sting, whose face looked hurt. High and mighty me, talking about him changing. Yet here I was: a liar.
