Chapter 2

They have just finished the preliminary event in that highly confusing Magic Labyrinth and the odds are clearly not in their favor. Sabertooth came first, followed by Fairy Tail B, and then they came third. They were shocked by that. These last three years, they were either first or second. And the reason? The fuming Titania. She was still upset at Lucy. No, that's not quite right. She was upset how Jellal is treating Lucy. For God's sake! She's getting married! What is she? Some sort of fan service character that all boys are drooling over?! She got Laxus. Not that Erza has some sort of attraction towards the blonde man. It was the level of hotness, okay?

"Good Afternoon, everyone! I'm here to announce the results of the following Guilds-kabo" Mato or as a few have known, the king of Fiore himself spoke through the microphone.

"Sabertooth = 10 points

Fairy Tail B = 8 points

Fairy Tail A = 6 points

Mermaid Heel = 4 points

Lamia Scale = 3 points

Blue Pegasus = 2 points."

In truth, Fairy Tail Guild was the only guild lucky enough to have both teams passing the preliminary event because only six teams were allowed to pass this year. Reason? Toma E. Fiore intends to make year X794's Grand Magic Games a whole lot more intense. He wants to see the determination and fire in all of the mages. They were the cream of the hundreds of crop and he wants to enjoy the magnitude of power all the wizards possess. If they want to win, they just have to give it all.

It was the first fight that afternoon of the same day and the Master has just informed Lucy that she will be the first to fight. Again. Anyways, the past five months since she became an S-Class, she has been training constantly with either Team Natsu or her now fiancé, Laxus. It was really hard to balance thing out between your friends and your boyfriend.

"Hello, everyone! The first participants were from the two still competing guild, Fairy Tail and Sabertooth!" Chapati, the emcee shouted in his own microphone, raising the spirits of the audience and making them cheer for their favorite guild. "The first one is the renowned White Dragon, Sting Eucliffe!" The man slowly walked towards the arena. All the girls fawned at seeing their crush. Sting, who have been the acting Guild Master for a time, found someone last month to take the responsibility of the guild in the person of Yajima, allowing him to rejoin the Grand Magic Games. After the squealing has lowered down, Chapati continued. "…versus one of Fairy Tail's newest S-Class mages and the next Mrs. Dreyar. Congratulations by the way on your engagement. Big cheers for The Celestial Maiden, Lucy Heartfilia!"

"What the…?" Lucy sweat dropped. If she remembered correctly, they have just been engaged yesterday. She just walked towards the battlefield. News really flies so fast. The other girls were fuming. Looks like Mr. Laxus Dreyar has some sort of a fangirl cult. On the other hand, men were having a hard time controlling their drools. After a few seconds, everyone was gawking at her like she's sprouted a new head. She's wearing normal clothes today. Not too skimpy and slutty and also not too loose or old-fashioned. Only then did she realize that someone was behind her. She turned around to find no other than Laxus, smiling at her with that crooked grin of his.

"Goodluck, Mrs. Dreyar." He leaned down and planted a soft chaste kiss on her lips then left immediately. She turned back at her opponent who was staring at her with wide eyes. The fangirl cult was like on the verge of tearing her apart. Literally.

"Ready?" She asked him, putting on her battle stance.

"Uh…yeah!" He grinned. God, he looked like Natsu.

"Okay, here goes! Virgo! Scorpio! Aries!" She summoned her Spirits in quick succession. The whole audience was astounded by this. Even her fellow Celestial Spirit Mage, Yukino was shocked. They have never seen a single mage summon three Spirits at once.

"Three Spirits at the same time?! No wonder she has joined the ranks of the S-Class Mages!" Chapati the emcee was taken aback. Two was surprising but three was unbelievable.

"Ah, I've known about her. She really was progressing quite quickly." Doranbolt was the guest speaker.

"White Dragon's Punch!" He dashed towards her at full speed as light covered his fists. He tried to swipe at her but she was too quick to evade his attacks. She dashed at him and performed a back flip near him

"Lucy Kick!" Lucy, using the momentum she gained with her back flip, she kicked the man in the shin, making him tumble down. "Scorpio, Aries!" Using the bonds as a channel, she sent them a message through telepathy. It was one of the skills needed and she discovered in Tenrou Island just before they were sealed there for seven years.

"Wool Bomb" Aries conjured a massive amount of pink wool and sent it towards Scorpio.

"Sand Buster!" Scorpio crouched down on all fours and mixed his element with Aries'. Scorpio aimed at Eucliffe and the attack hit Sting, making him stagger for a bit.

"That's it, blondie? It didn't even hurt." Sting taunted. But it was too late when he realized that offense wasn't the real purpose of the technique. It's to confuse his senses. Particles of sand are suspended mid-air, obscuring his vision and pink gaseous substance is floating with it, making him hard to breathe; disabling his enhanced smell.

"What the…"

"Sand-Wool Screen." Lucy informed him. 'Virgo, hide underground and wait for my signal.' She commanded her Spirit using telepathy. Virgo then used her Diver Magic to sink. Their opponent didn't see this.

"White Drive!" Sands and wool were blown away as Sting cloaked his body in an aura of light. Loke will be at a disadvantage fighting him. He'll just eat any of the Light Magic thrown at him.

"Here comes Sting Eucliffe's White Drive. What will happen now to our Celestial Maiden?" The emcee spoke, rather afraid of what the outcome will be.

"White Dragon's Roar!" A tornado of light went straight towards Lucy from Sting's mouth.

"Sand-Wool Shield!" Lucy commanded both of her Spirits. Scorpio crouched down again and used his Sand Buster and targeted Aries. Using her wool, she captured the sand and mixed it with her Wool Wall, strengthening its density and fortifying its defenses. It worked. The attack was immediately dispelled but the fight was far from over as Sting was preparing to launch another attack.

"You know, you fight like Rufus but even him, loses to me. Holy Ray!" The White Dragon entered a crouched stance, gathered light in his hands and when he opened his palms, numerous beams of white light homed towards them. Lucy, unable to perform a defensive spell on her own took the new whip she has on her belt. It was back to being only a handle but what Virgo said was very much the most helpful thing she needed.

'Hime, the new Fleuved'étoiles can expand, contract, widen, narrow or even adjust its thickness and thinness.'

"Time to test your limits!" Lucy extended her whip. Thank you everyone. The water-like substance widened and she wrapped it along her body, effectively making it a water barrier. It worked. The light didn't penetrate through her defenses. She looked at her Spirits. Light was bombarding their body but they looked fine. One. Two. Three. Suddenly it clicked. It was invulnerability. She has completely forgotten about the Spirit Energy coursing through her body and enhancing her Spirits natural abilities.

"You know you fight like Natsu." Lucy smiled at him triumphantly. The smoke cleared and they were all still standing, seemingly unscathed.

"Oh my! Lucy has just blocked one of the most powerful attacks of Sting. Better watch Sabertooth!" Dorandolt chuckled.

"What the…?" The blonde man was clearly shocked. He just released massive amounts of Magical Power and bombarded her and her Spirits with wakes of destructive light. "I thought they go back when they were hit? Just what did you do, Blondie?"

"That's a secret. And you're blonde too, idiot. Only one person has the right to call me that!" She countered. From the Fairy Tail's watching area, a certain blonde-haired muscled man snickered. And if anyone might ask, it was Laxus, who was very much proud of the comeback his wife-to-be just made.

"Oh, yeah?! Then who? Your boyfriend?" He taunted, grinning.

"Fiancé, idiot. fiancé" Lucy made a comedic facepalm. Totally Natsu-like. "Virgo!"

"Punishment Time, hime?" The maid burst from the ground, fist almost touching Sting's cheeks but he was fast and quickly evaded. Lucy took her chance.

"Aries!"

"Sumimasen! Wool Prison!" Aries sent forth a flurry of wool towards Sting, effectively binding him in all sides.

"Virgo, it's punishment time! Just like Natsu, please" The pink-haired maid nodded and extended her chains towards the man, clasping it securely around his wrists.

"What are you gonna do to me?" Sting panicked.

"What are Dragon Slayers afraid of?" Lucy feigned innocence.

"Uh, oh…" That was all the man could say before he was flung into the air and kept twirling by a maid. Motion sickness quickly kicked in and he was on the verge of vomiting. The audience laughed at this.

"Be careful, Sting! That was what defeated me!" Natsu shouted.

"Baka, I'm your teammate!" Lucy comically flashed a stare at Natsu's direction, making him salute and said the famous words of Happy, 'Aye!'

'What? She defeated Natsu-san? Just what is she?' He thought.

"Open! Gate of the Golden Bull! Taurus!" A bull-man appeared when the light died.

"What the…? Lucy Heartfilia just opened her fourth Gate!" Chapati was at loss of words. Opening three Gates was unbelievable. Opening a fourth one is over-the-top. The crown went silent, tension building.

"Do it" Lucy commanded her Spirits to do another combination attack. Aries gathered large amounts of wool and threw it towards Taurus. Scorpio followed, he crouched down and shot large amounts of sand he has never done before. The Golden Bull put on his battle stance and absorbed both attacks in his battle axe, keeping it swirling to increase its force.

"Virgo, throw him over here" the Spirit did as she was told. Sting, still sick, managed to gather light in his hands and readied himself for the impact.

"Sand-Wool Typhoon!" The attack connected and both were thrown into the wall. Typhoon of mixed elements swirled across the whole stadium, making the audience cover their eyes. When the dust cleared, everyone saw that Sting and Taurus were still standing.

"Taurus?" Lucy asked, concerned.

"I-I can't move Lucy-san." He struggled.

"White Dragon's Claw. The Stigma robs anyone who has it their movement." Sting boasted.

"Guess, it can't be helped. Aries, Virgo, Scorpio, Taurus, I close your Gates." One by one all Spirits disappeared in a puff of smoke. Lucy slowly walked towards the center to face her opponent.

"Everyone, it seems that Lucy is gonna fight without her Spirits. What will happen now?" Chapati spoke again, this time it was almost a whisper despite the microphone in front of him.

"What? Are you gonna fight me without Magic?" Eucliffe chuckled. "Bring it on."

"Let's finish this. I really need to go. I have a wedding to plan." Lucy smirked.

"If you say so. DRAGON FORCE!" Pure white scales appeared along the edges of his body and a pressure of white Magical Energy cloaked him. He was now taking his battle stance and charging immense Magic Energy in a single blow.

'Light.' Lucy thought. She may be at a disadvantage at this fight. The reason she won against Natsu was because he used fire and water was her element of choice. Darkness Magic was its complete opposite and it wasn't available in her arsenal. She could use Gemini to copy someone but that would exhaust her like before. And besides, she has yet to master that kind of ability. 'Wait, Natsu said that Dragon Slayers can't eat the element they produce. If I can use his attack against him.' Suddenly, it occurred to her. 'Light. Water refracts light and if many refractions are made, the light will surely hit the target'. She took Aquarius' Key but the stadium was too dry. There was no water in the air. 'Where can I find some water?' She looked around until her gaze found her whip. Fleuve d'étoiles. River of Stars. River is made of water. She took the handle and poured her Magic into it. At the hole, she plunged the Key. 'This better work.'

"Open! Gate of the Water Bearer! Aquarius!" It worked like a charm. Bursting from the water sprouting from the whip, the mermaid appeared.

'Aquarius there's no time. Can you refract the light and send it back to him?' She said through the telepathic connection.

'Tch. Child's play.' Aquarius smirked.

"DRAGON SLAYER'S SECRET ART: HOLY NOVA!" Sting concentrated the light he gathered a while ago in his fist and rushed towards Lucy with great speed. The attack connected but the result was unexpected. There was no burst of light that could blind people. It was just a smoke. He looked at his target. She was behind a blue mermaid, smirking triumphantly and his fist was plunged into an urn held by the lady. His hand was covered in a large mass of water. The light was trapped there, crisscrossing as it tried to escape.

"Do it, Aquarius."

"Water Pillar X Holy Nova" Aquarius swung her urn in front of him, manipulated both elements and formed them in a massive pillar. He was trapped inside. Water was robbing him of his breath and his own light was bombarding his own body. It was powerful and he knew it because he put all of his Magic in a single strike. He has no ways to replenish his strength. He can't eat his own light.

"Now I know why Natsu-san was defeated." He murmured to himself just as he lost consciousness.

"Unbelievable! Fairy Tail's Lucy Heartfilia has defeated Sabertooth's Sting Eucliffe!" Chapati shouted in his microphone. It was an unbelievable sight that stunned all those who watched. It was only after a millisecond that they have registered what has happened. They all stood up, giving her a standing ovation.

It was all she could remember just before she collapsed too.
