Gray eyes shot open as he woke up from a strange dream, his breathing a little faster than usual as he slowly sat up from his bed. He took a while to catch his breath a little as he looked down at his hands, slowly opening and closing them.

'I-It was a dream..?'

he thought as he sighed quietly to himself and combing his fingers into his hair. He got up from his bed to get out of the room, to get some fresh air. Although he was still shirtless, he continued to ponder over that dream, the dream that almost seemed like a reality. He shook his head slightly as he rubbed the back of his neck, looking at the town ahead from him.

'I think..I've seen her earlier..'

Maekan gasped as she sat up quickly, clutch her blankets as a small coat of sweat filled her forehead. She looked at het clock, reading; '3:10AM' on it. She groaned as she rubbed her eyes tiredly, her hand resting on her forehead.

'Th-That was so real…'

she thought was she slowly got up to take a hot shower. She stood under the shower head for a while, staring at the tiled walls as she slowly clenched her fists. She brought her fist to cover her mouth, tears that were invisible with the water started to shed.

'I-I'm so sorry…'

she continued to quietly cry to herself as she stood under the running shower, her tears flowing nonstop. She looked up, her face now showing determination as she clenched her fists again. She took a deep breath before stopping the water, and started getting dressed for today's competition.

"Hello Minna! And welcome to another day of our Magic Games!"

Maekan looked around as she watched the excited crowd cheer, their arms trailing everywhere in the air. She also noticed the giant water sphere floating in the middle of the arena, the announcers announcing how the game is going to work today.

"Good luck Mae-Mae.."

Maekan looked to the side as she noticed Flare, tilting her head to the side again. She gave a nod toward her direction and placed her comfortable hood on her head.

"Thanks Flare.."

she replied, walking away as she started to descend toward the middle. Ivan stopped her, but she didn't look at his direction.

"We want you to win, this match. Even if it takes your life."

he explained, not really recommending, but demanding. She didn't respond but give a simple nod as she started walking away from him.

"And forget about Fairy Tail. They're your enemy right now."

he called out to her, making Maekan stop at her spot. She looked over her shoulder slightly, giving hi the cold glare. Ivan literally flinched just a bit as he looked into those eyes, her gaze at him.

"Enemy my fucking ass.."

she said before turning away and walking to the arena. Ivan looked at her leave before sighing heavily and walking back to sit in the bests seats.

"What am I going to do with that girl.."

he said to himself as he sat with his arms crossed over his chest. Maekan slowly approached, catching almost everyone's attention again.

"Oh? It seems this could be Raven Tail's representative! Although..I can't find her name.."

they announced, the crowd murmuring again. Makarov kept an eye on her as he watched her dive into the sphere, her hood still intact. She looked around, staring at her competition until one caught her eye. Her eyes widened as she noticed her stare, smirking back as a reply.

"START!"

the referee called, chopping his hand in a downward motion. The first thing that came was a blonde, taking out a key, only to reveal Aquarius. Maekan looked over, only to realize that it was the girl that she bumped into yesterday, her face showing confidence. However, even though Aquarius' power did not effect Maekan, it did have a slight effect on the others.

"Peek a boo."

someone called behind her, making her gasp as she turned around in shock. Maekan glared as she noticed her move, almost a little too close to her.

"The fairies are doing most of the work..which will be so much easier for me."

"Minerva, this is just an event..we can't too serious with this.."

Maekan said as she looked at her, her glare starting to tighten.

"You're right, I shouldn't get so serious."

she replied, pushing a slight air toward Juvia, the water mage as she fell out of the sphere. Leaving with only three people left, Lucy stared at the other two in a slightly confused way.

"Lucy! What are you waiting for!? Attack them!"

she heard Natsu call, trailing his arms angrily. Gray stared at the hooded girl, his teeth starting to grit.

'Its her..from my dream..but it can't be her, Maekan's dead..'

he continued to think. Meanwhile, Maekan and Minerva continued staring, Maekan slightly taking a stance. She looked with the corner of her eye as she noticed Lucy, floating there. She quickly moved over in front of her, looking down at her. Lucy gasped as she caught her appearance by surprise, a bit shocked by her movement.

"You have to leave..you're going to get hurt.."

she said, in a quiet voice. Lucy looked at her confused before she noticed the slight patch that was covering the fairy tail insignia on it. Her eyes widened slightly as a small gasp escaped her lips.

"Yo-You're.."

she gave a sad smile before gently pushing her out of the sphere, making her land on her butt softly.

"DAMNIT LUCY! WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT!?"

Natsu yelled, his anger growing. Lucy looked back at him before looking up at the arena as the two faced each other.

"Well, its just like old times, isn't it Maekan? I remember your Uncle Ivan would always send you to different guilds to test out different opponents. And you were my best one."

Minerva explained as she placed both hands on her hips. Maekan continued to glare as she slowly took off her cloak, revealing herself out in the open. The crowd took in her appearance as she took a stance as well.

"I'm telling you, this is just an event, Minerva.."

Maekan said, staring her down. Minerva gave another smirk at her direction as her fists clenched tightly.

"Yes but, its different, now that you and I are face to face.."

she grinned before charging at her, Maekan swiftly moving to the side. Minerva saw her movement and tried again, only to miss once more. This happened for a while, amazing the crowd as they cheered.

"It seems to be an even match between the two! Who will win!? Sabertooh? or Raven Tail?"

the crowd only cheered louder as Maekan caught Minerva's fist, making her eyes widen a little. Maekan smirked as she punched her square in the jaw, and kneeing her stomach. Minerva chocked slightly and glared, sending a force toward her. Maekan gagged, coughing afterwards.

"We're both mages, correct? Why not use it then?"

Minerva grinned as she started to send hot water to her. Maekan blocked it, smoke bouncing off her as it filled the sphere, making it hard to see. It soon cleared as Maekan was panting slightly, her eyes now a shade of ice blue. She held up an ice shield that blocked the hot water to burn her.

"Wow! And it seems that Raven Tail blocks it with an Ice Shield! What strategy!"

"Ice Make?"

Erza said to herself as she continued to expect the match. Gray watched carefully as the match continued, still not convinced.

"Th-That can't be her.."

he mumbled to himself. The match continued as Maekan straightened herself, her now light blue eyes glaring at the Climate Mage. Her shield then shifted into and Ice Sword, that she held onto tightly.

"Thats enough Minerva.."

she growled as she swam closer, her sword descending forward as well. Minerva grinned as she looked down at the hour glass, reading the time.

"Oh, will you look at that..only 1 minute left.."

she grinned sending an attack toward her, only to have Maekan block it easily. She looked around, only to not find her anywhere. She looked around cautiously, glaring at each direction.

"Peek a boo!"

she called out. Maekan's eyes widen as she looked up, Minerva coming in fast. Minerva hit her hard in the chest, Maekan gagging some air as she continued to hit her multiple times. She held something bright in her hand as she jammed it toward Maekan's stomach, Maekan's eyes almost bulging out as she slightly gagged out blood.

"Oh! Raven Tail's member is getting defeated! Will she do something!?"

Everyone's face started to turn into worry as she was constantly getting beat, every guild watching in slight horror. Maekan gagged more blood, her body starting to gain giant cuts and bruises.

"10 seconds! 9! 8!"

"Say goodbye Maekan-san…because you lose.."

she whispered to her as before her ice sword can disappear, Minerva stabbed her, through her torso as the buzzer rang. Maekan's eyes were wide, blood trailing down her chin as more blood continued to spur out.

"Someone get her to the emergency! Quickly!"

Minerva giggled evilly as she pushed her out, her body easily following with gravity.

"MAEKAN!"

Gray screamed as he jumped the ledge, catching her as she barely hit the ground. She was coated in her own blood, Gray's clothes also getting stained. Everything was quiet to Maekan, dark and quiet. The only part that felt funny to her was that; she didn't feel alone. She felt that someone was there, someone was there even before she even knew.

[ okay I'll be honest that the last part was crap ._. but please R&R ~ thank you!~ -Admin ]
