I am so sorry. I accidently posted last chapter again. So sorry guys. Also, Sorry for delay, I was really busy. But now I am back. Anyway, for your knowledge I do know the position of teams and their names, but for the sake of the story and AU bear with me.

"Again" the cheerful voice bombed causing the tired bodies of the listeners to shudder in protest.

"Who would have thought that he would turn into such a monster?" A tired Gajeel asked. He tried to get up but his body protested against the order.

"He is pretty lenient on you. You have not even begun to see what a monster he is. Believe me" a raven haired man passed him, red eyes looking in boredom at them as if, mocking them.

"Easy for you to say" Gajeel muttered. Laxus just lied down, not even attempting to stand up. Eyes looking on their companion who was running at full speed. They had been training for almost three months non-stop and their bodies not being use to this were starting to give up. The pink haired boy suddenly stopped running and looked at them with a strange expression.

"What is it Natsu?" Zeref asked, being the only one who had any energy to do so.

"You all must be tired. The games begins tomorrow, so rest while you can. So let's go back." The strange expression left his face and his natural cheerful expression returned. He took off at high speed, leaving a cloud of dust behind.

"This guy has mood swing that could give even Mira and Erza a run for their money." Laxus said, trying to get his protesting body to get up.

"I don't know whom to be more afraid of Mira, Erza or Natsu" Gajeel asked willing his body go get up.

"Hey, you coming or do I teleport you to the bottom of a lava lake?" Natsu's yell snapped them into action. Somehow they made it back to the guild and instantly fell to sleep, of course after going back their dorms.

A black shadow watched them, then took a step out and nearly collided with a figure causing the figure to fall down. He got up and moved to leave but a voice halted him.

"I was not sure why you joined Fairy Tail at first, I mean what do you have to do with the puny humans, but now I have a hunk" Natsu said, he had changed into a loose long sleeved T-shirt. His eyes sharp and alert.

"Do tell" Zeref said, voice amused.

"You really think they will be able to stop them? I have faith in them that she the time comes they will be more than ready." Natsu said, before the serious look in eyes is replaced by something else. "We should sleep. We have a long day tomorrow. Good thing almost no one knows who you are" Natsu said before motion for Zeref to follow him. "Since Happy is with Lucy and Wendy you can stay with me" he smiled a big smile "It will be just like old days brother" he said and Zeref finally looks at him, them whispers.

"just like old days. You know I have faith in them too." He mutters but due to sharp ears Natsu hears him, buy chooses not to comment.

"You want us to participate? But why?" Asked a voice of a boy. His hairs covering his eyes.

"Yes. I know these humans have nothing on us, but master wills us. He wants us to find the last holy phoenix, the chosen one" he said, causing the eyes of other five to widen.

"You mean prince was not here? He was out there the whole time?" A female asked. Her tall frame made her look like a model with tanned skin and blond hairs blue eyed combination.

"Yes. That's why you must go. We have sure knowledge that the prince will be there. You will have to bring him back, but be careful. Zeref, the traitor will be there too." The man said and an unspoken agreement was signed. They will not return without their prince.

"Have you seen Natsu?" A worried red-head asked with armour covering his body. The mage shook his head.

"No sign of the flame brain?" Gray asked and Erza shook her head.

"I knew something was wrong with him. I should have gotten it out of him sooner" she said, guilt and anger clear in her voice.

"Anyway, we should return. The games are about to begin." Lucy said as they returned.

"But" Erza said as Wendy shook her head.

"Whatever is troubling Natsu-san will have to be solved by him alone. We cannot do anything if he doesn't want to tell us" she said softly. The debate was a good one but they finally agreed and the competition for elimination begin.

They ran at full speed, defeating anyone who stood in their way. Soon they reached their destination.

"Looks like we were the first ones to reach here" Wendy said but was cut off.

"Nice. You were the last ones to arrive. Reach the arena tomorrow morning." The person said. At the other corner Natsu stood with his arms crossed.

"So, you are the famous salamander? Pitiful. You could not even kill the very thing you were trained to kill" a blond said. Natsu looked up to stare in mocking blue eyes and had he been the same person before the gain of his memories he would have lashed out, but he held his temper. A black figure appeared at his side.

"You know, Acnologia is not a dragon. At least not fully. No amount of normal dragon slaying magic can defeat him" Zeref said as Rouge joined them.

"What do you know?" Rouge asked, more like snapped. Zeref only laughed.

"What do i know? More than you think" with that he left, and Natsu? He disappeared as soon as Zeref came.

"Damn him. He's a coward" Sting muttered.

"Fro thinks this too" the little green exceed said.

Next morning could witness a crowd of spectators assembled in the stadium.

Natsu for the whole part choose to zone himself out right after they were told that the last member of their team will be Mystogen. He concentrated on the memories. Although all of them had returned, they were still somewhat hazy before he met Zeref. A hand on his shoulder snapped him out. He turned toward the arm only to see Laxus.

"The first event is starting. We need to select a member before they tell us what the event is. It is a hidden one." He explained. He blinked owlishly at them, then looked at the stand and saw Marvis waving at them, then back at the team. He faintly caught the whisper of "first master?" but ignored them. Then he asked the million dollar question

"So, who is going?"

And it ends here. Now I need your help. Who should be the first one to go in place of Juvia? Please tell me. Till at least six people not tell their preference the next chapter can't be posted.
