Yo! I seriously have too much free time.
I thought of some other story ideas for laters so I'm happy right now.
Back at Honeybone with Fairy Tail.
"And that's what happened," Gray finished explaining what had happened. He registered Erza, Wendy, Carla, and Lissana's shocked expressions as Erza was running through it all in her head.
"Are you sure you did nothing to piss her off,Natsu?" Gray said accusingly as Natsu huffed.
" NO! I've never seen her in my life!" Natsu exclaimed angrily at Gray who shrugged.
" If she was a mage, she would probably be here for the Grand Magic Games, " Erza stated.
"Oh she was a mage alright, I was ten yards away from her and I could feel her magic power radiating off of her in waves. She even had TWO limiters on!" Gray yelled. Obviously frightened of the mystery mage.
"We will have to keep an eye out for her. She obviously believes Natsu to be her enemy. She sounds dangerous," Lissana said.
Everyone agreed while Natsu pouted in a corner saying stuff like 'I could have beaten her' etc.
Idiot.
With Sabertooth.
"Where is she?" Orga yelled.
Lucy tapped his shoulder from behind. Startling him and the rest of the mages.
"Lucy!" Sting yelled. Wrapping his arms around her shoulders. Lucy looked around curiously.
"Where were you?" Rogue asked, getting over his worried state. Only Lucy could make him that worried.
"I was tying up some loose ends," She said simply.
The other mages shuddered. Knowing that 'tying loose ends' was always something violent or scary. They had learned not to ask.
They all heard a slightly eerie voice and walked out onto the balcony to find that the hotel had been lifted by magic and was currently floating in the air. Along with many other inns, Lucy assumed these inns had the other teams.
"Hello! Welcome to the Grand Magic Games! I am your referee, Mato II!"
(New once since the Eclipse uncovering earlier)
"This is the first year we will be having the Grand Magic Games! This event is called 'Sky Labyrinth'. We will use it to narrow down all 113 teams to only 8! You will go through this maze and run into other guilds. Only the first 8 will progress to compete in the games! Ready. . . GO!"
"Lucy!" Rufus yelled, smiling.
"Got it," Lucy said as they were running.
Heed my call, wind gates.
open a path to my destination
transcend time and space.
Open, Portal!
A large portal appeared in front of the mages after Lucy chanted the incantation and drew an oval with her fingers. They ran through the portal, immediately at the finish.
"Amazing! You are the first guild here. Your time is 15.8 seconds, congratulations. You may proceed through this portal back to your hotel. Have a nice night. See you at the games tomorrow." Mato said happily as they walked through the portal.
Once they were back everyone went to their separate rooms to rest for tomorrow. After all, it was around midnight. They murmured tired goodbyes as they went to their bedrooms that all connected to a living room of sorts. Lucy had climbed into bed and lied there. Staring at the ceiling with emotionless eyes.
'I cannot sleep' Lucy thought as she unfolded herself from her blankets. Her bare feet hitting the cold, wooden floor. She gently opened her door and snuck out into the main room. She saw Rogue sitting there asleep, he was reading a novel. Lucy smiled to herself and blushed
'He looks so cute sleeping'
She pried her eyes away from Rogue and silently went out onto the balcony and sat on the railing, looking out into the sleeping city that was being shrouded in the luminescent moon's rays. She loved nights like these, the world's magic seemed so at ease. She found herself quickly falling asleep while perched on the railing.
Loud crashes were heard. Lucy looked around, panicked.
"Everyone?" she softly called out. She looked around the utterly crushed arena. Bodies littered the ground. Some moaning, some crawling around, some taking their last breaths, most were dead.
Lucy gasped at the sight. She frantically swirled her head around.
Sting? Minerva? She thought as she looked at two crumpled bodies, one body's hand was in another. Two dead. Sting and Minerva.
No.
Rufus?Orga?
She turned around to see Rufus pierced by a large pillar, Orga slumped against the pillar with his body on fire. Two more.
No. She was growing more frantic.
"Rogue?" She called. She heard groaning coming from behind her. She swirled around to see Rogue. The man she loved. Gasping for air as he was crushed by a large boulder. The light in his eyes was fading. Her heart broke. Shattered.
"Lu-cy," He gasped as he slumped. No longer needing air. He had died with the rest.
She heard loud laughter. She swirled around but before she could see who was alive. She was struck with a magic so powerful, she was torn to bits. Letting out a scream. She died too.
It was dark.
"I'm dead aren't I?" She said to herself.
"Is that the future? . . . Is that the end?"
She had given up hope.
"-cy. Lucy. Wake up!" She was shaken awake by a very worried Rogue, his hair was ruffled and messier than usual, his red eyes stared deep into her silver ones. His were clouded with worry.
"Lucy? What's wrong?" He finally asked. Settling his strong hands on her shoulders. "You were talking in your sleep. You screamed. I was right in the living room and heard it and ran out here. To find you shaking violently and writhing. Muttering about 'the end'. Tell me Lucy. What's wrong?" Rogue said. His tone becoming more frantic and harsh towards the end, he gripped her shoulders tightly. Lucy looked away.
She couldn't tell him.
"Lucy!" He half-yelled. Gripping her chin and turning her to face him. Her eyes were worried. Scared even. His eyes softened. He brought her into a hug and she stiffened. Then broke down. Gripping his shirt 'til her knuckles turned white. Burying her face in his chest. And told him about her dream. He listened patiently. Stroking the back of her head as she explained. When she finished. She pulled away slightly, looking in his eyes.
"If that's how it might end. . . then you'll just create a different ending!" He said warmly as he smiled slightly.
"If anyone has the power to change the future. You do. Believe me Lucy. Just as much as I believe you. It will be okay," He said as he smiled again to her. Her now-brown eyes stared back at him gratefully as he wrapped his arms around her again and held her until he felt her breathing even out.
"I love you," he muttered softly to himself as he picked her up and brought her inside into her bed. Then he went to his room and slept peacefully. He had never been so happy.
Next morning- Nobody's Pov
Everyone in the Sabertooth team had gotten up and was ready for the day. They left the hotel and now were in the dark tunnel that leads out into the arena.
"This is exciting!" Sting said as he jumped around in glee.
"I will memorize everyone's magic!" Rufus said happily, tilting his hat with the ever-growing pink fluff on it.
"Let's shock em good!" Orga chanted.
"Rogue nodded and glanced at Lucy. Who had a look of determination on her face.
"Hello everyone! Your referee here! Mato! Welcome to the first Grand Magic Games! We are proud to have a powerful lineup of guilds here! First, Fairy Tail! Will this guild rise to fame now that their core members are back?!"
Fairy Tail walked out of their tunnel, wearing matching clothes and walking proudly, while many people were booing. Their reputation had dropped significantly since their core members disappeared.
The other teams were announced with a short tidbit about each guild. There were murmurs about Raven Tail but they quickly subsided. There were loud gasps and reactions at the second Fairy Tail team. But they subsided as well. Finally it was Sabertooth's turn.
"And first! The guild we have all been waiting for. . . SABERTOOTH! We have Rufus Lohr, Orga Nanagear, The twin dragonslayers of Sabertooth, Sting Eucliffe and Rogue Cheney, and finally, the mysterious mage, Ace!" Mato exclaimed cheerfully.
They walked out as cheers were heard everywhere. Rogue and Sting cringed at the volume of the crowd, but they waved and everything. They walked to their place as many eyes were on Lucy. Fairy Tail was panicking. "That's her!" Natsu yelled. Trying to run to her but Erza held him back. "We'll deal with her later." she said calmly.
Lucy was quietly walking, disliking the attention. She glared at Natsu through her mask. Her anger boiling up inside her.
'I will deal with him later.' She decided.
Yay!Double update! I sleep now. :)
