Hey Everyone!
Here I am once again :))
Okay, Now I present to you the true Chapter 7.
Sorry if this chapter sucks or maybe it's just my opinion because I had read this multiple times to look for mistakes and I was doing that while my head was throbbing in pain. So sorry for Mistakes!
Anyway, I don't own Fairy Tail, not eventhe least and no matter how much I wished it was. Hiro Mashima owns it.
Grand Magic Games, day 1
Chapter 7
" Welcome to the Grand Magic Games!" A pumpkin head who was called Mato said in the middle of the Domus Flau and began introducing the participants from the 8th place to the first.
'Yay. Go Sabertooth!' Lucy thought as she sat beside Minerva wearing a cloak at the Guild's respective area.
" Min-chan, can I—?"
" No you can't." Minerva quickly answered interrupting Lucy.
The blonde Mage sighed in defeat. " but..."
" Lucy...I mean Mist! Surprise is the best strategy. So you must not let them know YOU ARE YOU until the last millisecond, got it?!" Minerva preached
" Y-Yes..." Lucy mumbled but unfortunately Minerva wasn't done yet...
"...Then when they know it's you. You may do what you want and kick all their sorry buts for leaving you and—"
" In the First Place once again is Teeeeeeaaaaaam Sabertooth!" Mato's announcement saved Lucy from her continuous lectures from Minerva.
Sting, Rogue, Yukino, Rufus and Orga proudly walked to the center of the arena and was greeted with loud and enthusiastic 'Sabertooth!' Cheers from the audience.
" And these are the 8 teams that have won Last Night's Sky Labyrinth."
" Eeeeeeeh?!" Lucy yelled
- Sting's PoV-
We entered the Arena as roars of cheers had welcomed us. We didn't actually care about their cheers but we had to act like we give a damn. What we're only Interested now is Fairy Tail who were acting like idiots with those from Lamia Scale and Blue Pegasus.
It didn't need an expert to know we hate Fairy Tail. It was really obvious the way we glare at them with rage for what they have done to Lucy. We will make them pay.
They surprisingly glared back.
" You...!" Natsu shouted " How dare you kill your own Dragon?!"
" What are you saying Natsu-san? It's our destiny as dragon slayers to kill a dragon anyway." I smirked evilly at him. Though that wasn't the source of my rage, at least I can openly show it to him and have a reason when I punch his sorry fire-breathing face.
Rogue tapped my shoulder, a reminder. Whatever.
Before I got back with my team. I whispered " You will see how scary a tiger's wrath is... Natsu...Dragneel"
- Lucy's PoV-
I froze as I saw the two fairy tail teams. No, scratch that. I never thought I would ever see Fairy Tail in my entire life again but...Life is harsh sometimes, huh?
Anyway, what did The pumpkin head mean when he said Last Night?
" Hey, Min-chan. What happened last night?" I asked
" Oh that, On Midnight there was a surprise preliminaries. It eliminated 150 teams to the first 8 that reached the goal first. The preliminaries is called the Sky Labyrinth, it was a maze that is floating up the sky and Sabertooth managed to get to the goal in ..um...5 minutes."
" B-B-But...I..."
" Sorry. You were sleeping that time so we didn't bother waking you up." Min-chan said.
I felt my mood go Into a dark, depressed state that was accompanied by a very dark aura surrounding me while I mumble on how a bad little sister I had been for not cheering them in the least that time.
" Uh...Mist. It's okay...we didn't want to disturb ..." Min-chan tried to comfort me but failed
" I'm...a really...really...bad ...Little sister..." I mumbled continuously
- - - Regular PoV- - -
As the judges called the name of the winner in the preliminaries, all (other participants especially Fairy Tail) glared at the members of Team Sabertooth. They were standing proudly in the center, coolly to the audience but to Natsu, he noticed the glares he was receiving from that Group.
He and Lisanna have met the two Dragon Slayers in The Crocus street earlier and he just want to beat the hell out of them but...Beating them up means disqualification, he can't do that to his Nakama who has hopes of winning...or not
Though the Sabertooth nembers are looking cool, proud and calm. Natsu noticed that they were flinching. It's like they were aching to do something but thought against it because they need to be there.
Natsu followed where the members were looking only to see the Sabertooth members area with their temporary guild master comforting and hugging a cloaked figure who seemed like crying.
Somehow the cloaked person seemed really familiar.
" You may go to your areas." Mato said and as soon as he said it. The members of Sabertooth disappeared like thin air and appeared beside the cloaked person trying to comfort him (Natsu doesn't know if it's a girl or guy)
Everyone gasped at what they saw. Sabertooth was always about power that most people almost forgot that they were humans with hearts too
- Lucy's PoV-
" H-H-Hey...Why are you crying?" Sting asked
I sobbed " b-b-because...In the preliminaries you fought...and ...I didn't do anything and..."
" You were crying because of that?" Yukino laughed.
Lucy/Mist nodded.
Sting flicked his fingers to Lucy's forehead. " Blondie, How Many times did I tell you in training NOT TO BE A CRYBABY!" Sting yelled which shocked Lucy.
" B-B-But..."
" Don't worry Lucy. Sting-kun isn't angry, actually Sting-kun is just really worried. He can't stand crying girls especially Lucy." Lector said
" Shut up Lector!" Sting blushed faintly " That wasn't true, It's just I taught you how to talk with your fists and Magic, now use them Stupid Blonde!"
"Hai!"
Just then a hard punch had bonked them in their heads.
" You 5! Stop Dilly-Dallying with my sweet Lu-chan and get back to your seats." Minerva glared
"But Min-chan. I want to fight beside Sting too!" Lucy pursued
'How will Minerva answer this. She can't let Lucy see her evil side or at least she don't answer Lucy with her evil side...Only us, Yep. Only us' Rufus thought
" Then wait for one of them to get knocked out so hard that they can't stand then We'll use you as our reserve." She happily said
The other 5 sweat dropped.' She actually doesn't care if we die on the spot just for Lucy...'
" So stay here with me first okay?"
Lucy nodded
Minerva sent the others a death glare.
" Alright, Alright we're going back."
The first game was hidden, the participants are now hiding and seeking at the same time
Lucy pouted.
" What's with that face?" Minerva asked motherly
" The First day will be boring. Rufus will just target his opponents at the same Time and win first place while Orga will fry his enemy the second the bell signals start."
" How about the other matches? You didn't look into them, right?"
" Hn..." Lucy stared at thin air while in deep thought, her eyes flashed red for a moment the turned back " Don't tell Sting I did this for you. He was bugging me like Orga for a while now. Anyway..." A smile grew on her lips.
" A battle between Fairy Tail team A, Lisanna." She spat her name disgusted. "And Raven Tail who has...a certain goal. She was so weak that a minute still hadn't passed and she's lying on the ground knocked out. Raven Tail didn't even felt the need to cheat."
" Next."
" Hey! I'm not a radio!"
Minerva glared at her.
" Hai."
" Good."
" There was this uneventful battle between Mermaid Heel and Blue Pegasus...Ren sent a—"
" Next."
' Yep. She's using me like a radio...' Lucy thought
Suddenly Lucy giggled like a mad person.
" Hey, Mist are you okay? Did I use you as a radio too much?" Minerva said agitated
" No...I'm okay. There will be this really funny battle between Fairy Tail team B's Mystogan and Lamia Scale's Jura Neekis. You have to watch it! Though...Fairy Tail lost in a suspicious way but not dangerous I already saw the reason for that."
" Reason?"
" The person they're looking for is...me."
"Then why not face them?"
" I can't or else something will happen"
Minerva decided not to push further and changed the topic and they continued to chat through the whole first day of the games.
-Nighttime-
" Congratulations Rufus! Orga!" The whole Sabertooth guild cheered.
" Thanks." They said in unison
" Let's Celebrate."
" Yeah!" Suddenly the usual strict environment in the guild was no more and everyone were already noisy and rowdy.
" Hey, Mis~t. Drink up." A drunk Orga invited and received a blow from Minerva on the second floor as a reply
" Uh...Thanks." I yelled over the sea of voices
I guess I'll just take a walk, even when I was in Fairy Tail. I refrain from drinking.
I left the guild and went around sightseeing. The night breeze felt refreshingly cold. I tried to think of what I learned when I tried to see Jellal's future, I also found out something
...that I have blood ties to The Dark Mage, Zeref.
The nostalgia that I felt when we met at Tenroujima has probably connections to this but Why do I have connections to Fairy Tail's First Master, Mavis Vermillion too.
I sighed. " Open the Gate of the Southern Cross: Crux"
As I grew stronger so did my spirits and now Crux can also gather information other than the Celestial spirit world.
A human with a cross' head who was sleep-floating appeared.
" Crux? Crux. Crux! Crux?! Crux!" I finally waked him up at the last yell.
" Oh, Lucy. What do you need?"
" Um..Tell me what you know about Mavis Vermillion and...Zeref." I reluctantly said
" but Lucy...those people are one of the most dangerous people to ever come across though they are dead or...immortal maybe? They both have titles that would have scared off the whole population."
" Please Crux..." I pleaded
He sighed in defeat then went into a sleeping state to find information or maybe he's really sleeping?
After a few minutes, his snooze bubble popped and he waked up.
" The information about the two of them. They're—"
" Crux." Someone said which interrupted our conversation.
" You. Who are you? Why do you have Lucy's keys?" 3 cloaked persons said in unison but the one who seemed like the leader was the one in the middle. basing in his voice, he must be a guy...though, his voice seemed really familiar.
Crux suddenly disappeared and I assume he went back to the spirit world to hide, leaving me all alone here, Damn you sleepy but wise old Man!
" Who are you?" I spat. Readying my magic in case this turned into a battle
" I believe you are in a position that should be answering us." A female voice said coming from the person on the Leader's right.
" I don't know about that. You better not underestimate a Sabertooth Mage." The female on the right shrugged. " Fine." She suddenly pulled down the hood of their leader. " He's Jellal Fernandez. Now who are you and what are you doing with another mage's spirits?"
I stared at Jellal in disbelief. Luckily, my hood will cover my expressions from being seen.
" What are you saying?" I tried to play innocently.
" We know." The person on Jellal's left interrupted. " Your magic is in sync with Zeref's" She pulled her hood down too. " We mean no harm. My name is Meredy and that." She paused as she pointed to the person beside Jellal " that is Ultear Milkovich. We're the Crime Sorciere."
" Eh?! Meredy! We're supposed to be undercover. Why did you tell her? She's the target! The enemy!" Ultear lectured her. Meredy bowed down while being lectured.
" Hey, Ultear...if you continue this, Meredy is going to cry." Jellal reasoned out
" But!" Ultear was cut-off when I giggled, shocking them...and me. When I noticed they were staring at me because I was unconsciously giggling. I masked by laughter with cough and turned serious.
" Because she did reveal information about you then it's only customary for me to answer your questions." I took a deep breath and sighed. " I, too...don't know the whole truth. However, I know that somehow Zeref and I are related. Well—that's that." I turned away to leave
Unfortunately, they didn't allow it and instead they surprisingly attacked me. I barely dodged the orb that was flying towards me.
" What the hell. I told you what you want, didn't I?"
" You still haven't answered why you have Lucy's keys." Jellal pursued the topic " Fairy Tail said that she left and they were looking for her. Where is she?"
' they told them I left? Bastards...' I snorted angrily
I decided to reply Fairy Tail's lie with my own. " Oh. That girl has been killed."
" Who did it?" Jellal demanded.
" Hn...I don't know if I should tell you. After all, you're a temporary member, right Mystogan-kun?" I mocked
" How did you—?" Ultear's eyes widened in shock
" Easy. I know everything." I answered
" Forget about that first Ultear. Lucy-san will surely be avenged by—"
" Fairy Tail..." I mumbled
" What?"
" Fairy Tail...killed her." my answer left them speechless and frozen.
" That's not true! Who are you to tell us that?" Jellal yelled running after me and he pulled of my hood in the process.
" Lucy..."
" Don't...tell...anyone." I sobbed
" But you...You, Erza, Natsu, Wendy and Gray are—" Ultear can't just believe who she saw.
" What they told you isn't the truth." I said as I pulled back my hood.
" Oi. Jellal, I mean—Mystogan— ugh...What are you doing he..." Natsu stopped his yapping when he saw the Sabertooth mark on my cloak
" What have you done with our nakama, Saber?" Erza screamed running behind Natsu and so are the other members of Team Natsu.
" Whoa there! First of all it was them, not me. Second, I was just leaving." I said
" Wait. You're —" A certain take-over Mage said. Just then I sensed something dark coming from Lisanna.
" You b*tch! Why are you still alive?! After all the hard work, I done at making them forget you. You shouldn't have come back. No one needs you." Lisanna pounced on me with a black aura surrounding her. She too, was being controlled by someone else.
What she said...Then what Fairy Tail told me wasn't true..." I can't move from shock, Suddenly I saw Lisanna about to attack me. Is this the end? Will it be? I still haven't thought about anything...
" Mist!" A familiar voice yelled with a tone of worry
That's Right, I still can't leave HIM.
- - - Regular PoV- - -
Lisanna suddenly attacked Lucy head-on with Dark aura surrounding her while Lucy who was frozen in shock can't move, she just stared at what might be the cause of her end.
" Holy Blast." Sting yelled as he ran to Lucy.
The attack had hit Lisanna and knocked consciousness out of her while her body was heavily wounded and scarred.
" Lisanna-san." Wendy went to heal her no matter her own dislike towards Lisanna
" Mist!" Sting shaked Lucy pulling her back into earth.
" Sting..." Tears flowed down from Lucy's eyes
" Shhhh. Let's go back and wait for the time I told you, okay? Then beat them up really good."
Sting pulled Lucy to his chest to prevent anyone from seeing her cry.
Before leaving Lucy dropped Loke's key in front of Wendy, and only Wendy had seen it. Without hesitation, She quickly put it in her pocket. She got the message.
" I hope having a nice match with you tomorrow, Fairy Tail." Sting smirked as he carried Lucy bridal style in his arms and left.
So...Everything's going to be a little complicated from here on out. Minna, You need to hold on tight!
Also, in this part. Wendy will be an important character and cute little sister one always wanted *squeal* or at least I do.
Thank you for your suggestions about the Future chapters and I'll do my best to make it GoOd! :) As for now, I hope you enjoyed.
