A Locked Heart
Chapter Eight: Hidden
Nobody point of view
"Now that the teams are all arrived, what do you think of this year's teams, Yazima-san?" Chapati said.
"It's good to be young." Yazima answered.
"Um.. I wasn't asking about that..." he said.
"Well, sorry for keeping you waiting!" A large tombstone like appeared then in the middle of the arena.
"Now here are the programs of the Grand Magic Tournament!" Written in the tombstone like is the games that would be happening. Though every day they have both games and battle. On Day 1 was Hidden + battle while the others had '? ? ? + battle"
"Everyday we got battles..." Kisame muttered.
"In terms of games, each team already has varying points... According to their rankings in the preliminary rounds."
"Each teams is allowed to select any members to participate."
"In those battle, the sponsor will have the right to make a decision by drawing considering factors like fans' votes."
"They got to decide? How exciting." Lucy muttered and smirk a little.
"The rules for the battles are simple. Teams fight against each other. The winning teams gets ten points while the losing one gets none. If it's a tie, each teams gets five points."
"Now let's begin the opening game of the Grand Magic Tournament! 'Hidden' starts."
"Each Team sends out one members. The rules will be explained once the team members are all gathered."
Lucy only took out a sucker and put it in her mouth as she said.
"I'll go."
Kisame jumped off Lucy's shoulder and went onto the ground.
"Good luck and try not to mortally wound anyone" said Kisame.
"No promises." said Lucy.
Everyone shuddered at what Lucy said because they could all hear her and now everyone was too scared to compete in fear of getting mortally wounded by Lucy.
"From Love and Lucky! Lucy Heartfilia!" Chapati exclaimed.
"I'll go." Eve step forward and fasten his tie.
"From Blue Pegasus! Eve Tearm!"
'Perhaps I should go… After all I'd like to see what else Lucy can do. And she's competing too so I'll go' Rufus thought.
"I'll go." He said. His team allowed him to go without any hesitation but Sting knowing how powerful Lucy was and how much her 'Lightning Arrow' attack hurt, he warn Rufus.
"Just don't run into that Lucy chick. If you do, your borderline os over."
Rufus nodded his and he step forward. He take off his hat and raised it. He also smirk to the audience.
"He's here! The singing poet who sings to the crimson moon! Rufus is here!" Chapati yelled in excitement.
"From Mermaid Heel! Beth Vanderwood"
"From Quatro Cerberus! Yeager!"
"From Raven Tail! Nullpudding!"
Beth, Yeager and Nullpudding went over to the place where the other participants are regardless of being afraid of how powerful Lucy is.
'Well if Lucy's competing in this event I'll compete too!' thought Lyon.
"From Lamia Scale! Lyon Vastia!"
Lyon went over to where the others and noticed how everyone except Eve and Rufus we're keeping their distance from Lucy.
'Why aren't they keeping their distance like everyone else? Are they not afraid? Or do they love her too?' he thought
Lyon stood by Lucy not showing any fear of her power just like Rufus and Eve.
"Well if Lyon's participating I'll go too" said Gray.
"Be careful Gray you heard what that little fox or whatever it is said about her" Erza warned him.
Kisame heard this and got defensive.
"My name is Kisame! Not little fox!" Kisame hissed at her.
Erza only ignored her as Gray went over to the others.
"Oh you're going to ignore me huh?" growled Kisame.
Kisame started stalking towards Erza getting ready to change into her demon form but...
"Kisame" Lucy sternly stop her.
Kisame looked at Lucy stopping in her tracks.
"Drop it" Lucy gave her a little glare.
Kisame only sighed, "Fine."
She went back to her spot and sat there sucking on her cherry sucker.
"From Fairy Tail team A! Gray Fullbuster!" Chapati exclaimed.
'I want to participate but Gray had beat me to it.' Freed though sadly.
"If Gray-sama is competing Juvia must go!" Juvia exclaimed with hearts on her eyes.
Juvia started walking over to Gray.
"From Fairy Tail team B! Juvia Lockster!" Chapati yelled.
"Hey, I've been wanting to ask... What the hell are you?" Gray asked to Mato. 'He's got a point...' Lucy thought.
"As you can see, I'm a pumpkin~" Mato answered. "Huh? Was it a dumb question?" Gray sweat drop.
"Juvia thinks it's a pumpkin, too."
"Erm.. Fine." Gray surrendered. 'Good question with a dump answered. Useless for asking that question.' Lucy thought.
"They get that question every year. Don't worry." Eve said. Lucy glanced at him and he blushed.
"I supposed he's a staff member." Beth also said.
"Hold on." the participant from Raven Tail said. "The game... I still have no idea what that is. No no... about the games you'll have, I think Fairy Tail will have a great chance of winning with their two teams, right?"
Lucy glanced at Fairy Tail and saw their expressions; angry.
"It's true. It's quite incredible to have two teams from the same guild to get into the main events. P..Pum.." Mato said.
"It's fine." Rufus intervene. "My memory is telling me... That two contestants doesn't guarantee advantage..." 'and as long I could still watch Lucy...' He silently add.
"I don't see any problem, either." Yeager said.
"Same here." Beth said. I nodded my head; also agreeing.
"Tut." Nullpuding said.
One person from each team has been selected and agreeing on Fairy Tail having two teams. Mato started the games.
"Field Open!" Mato yelled. Something huge then starting appearing in front of them. The others was surprise while Lucy was just standing there; waiting for it to be over.
"Time to begin Hidden!" said Chapti
The town finally appeared and the contestant got transported inside the town and they were all separated from each other.
"Where should I hide?" asked Beth to herself.
"Looks like I just have to find everyone" said Gray while running.
Lucy was only standing her ground as she said.
"Here comes the annoying part" said Lucy.
Copies of everyone then appeared.
"WHAT HAPPENED?" Gray yelled as his eyes grow wide.
"The eight contestants won't be able to know where the other are. The Hidden rule is very simple. You will be doing hiding and seeking at the same time."
"You have to find the others in town. and give them an attack. You can use any kind of magic. It doesn't matter whether you get injured or not. The person who launches his attack first can get 1 point."
"These are your clones. If you make a mistake and attack the clones, you'll be counted off 1 point'
"Start! Disappear in silence! Just like a black cat hidden in dark night!"
"Do your best Eve-kun!" said Jenny
Lucy only used one of her spells right off the bat
"Moon God: Yumigami, Grant me your power so I may control the darkness around me" chanted Lucy.
Lucy's eyes glowed black as a glowing black rabbit mark appeared on her back.
"Looks like it won't be that hard to find Lucy as her eyes are glowing black and she has a glowing black rabbit mark on her back now" said Yajima.
"Well that isn't very good hiding" said Jenny.
"That's what you think" Lucy only said that.
Lucy went over to the wall and turned into a shadow as she started walking around looking for people.
"I stand corrected" said Jenny.
Lucy eventually came across Lyon and Gray who we're talking about something.
"I can tell that you like Juvia but I have no interest in Juvia" Lyon stated.
"I DON'T LIKE JUVIA!" Gray yelled and a small blush appeared.
Lucy sweat-dropped.
"Moon God: Yumigami, Grant me you're Mochi Hammer" whispered-chanted Lucy.
The shadow on the wall gained a Mochi Hammer that was slung over the shoulder.
"Did you hear something?" asked Lyon. He looked around but saw nothing.
"So I'm not the only one who heard it?" asked Gray. He too was looking around.
Lucy came out of the shadows wielding a Mochi Hammer that was slung over her shoulder.
"Hey over here." said Lucy.
Both ice-mages looked to see Lucy.
"Ever wonder what it feels like to get hit in the head with a Mochi Hammer?" asked Lucy.
Before they answered, Lucy had already smacked them both on the head using the Mochi Hammer.
"Ow…" they said in unison.
They teleported away and Lucy gained two points.
"HOW DARE YOU HURT GRAY-SAMA!" yelled Juvia's voice.
Juvia had jumped from her spot getting ready to attack Lucy with her water slicer but before she could...
*SMACK*
"Ow…" said Juvia as she held her head.
Lucy jumped up and whacked Juvia on the head with her Mochi Hammer gaining her another point.
Juvia teleported away and Lucy started walking away but only got a few meters before she heard a voice.
"Carrot Missiles!" said Beth's voice.
Lucy didn't even sense her Magical Presence so Lucy was caught off guard.
"Shadow form!" said Lucy.
Lucy's body turned into shadows and the carrot's flew right threw her but once the attack finished Lucy became human again.
"Huh? I missed?" said Beth as she appeared out of her hole.
Suddenly Beth was attacked with some kind of prickly plant that busted from out below her.
"Ha! I saw you use your magic!" said Yeager completely forgetting that Lucy was there.
Lucy had only raised her Mochi Hammer to hit him but...
"White Fang!" Eve said as he activate his magic.
Yeager had lost the point he had when he attacked Beth and Eve gained a point as Yeager teleported away.
"I was never one to attack a snow mage as I do love the snow" Lucy stated.
Eve blushed as he heard that Lucy said she loved the snow but was shocked when Lucy raised her Mochi Hammer.
"But ah well" said Lucy.
Lucy smacked Eve with her Mochi Hammer making her clutch his head while he crouched in a corner and Lucy gained another point.
"You have no idea how much this hurts" Eve groaned in pain.
"If you make the moon God mad, he will hit you over the head with his Hammer regardless if you're a kid or not" said Lucy.
In reality Lucy was trained by Thirteen God's and Amaterasu had warned her about Yumigami with that exact same-message.
"I'm not a kid!" said Eve as he teleported away.
Lucy started wandering around but never got into any battles that weren't her business as for instance she walked right past Nullpudding and Gray even though she easily attack both of them.
She eventually saw Rufus right in the open.
'Shouldn't he be hiding?' thought Lucy.
"Memory-make" he said.
It became night and everyone in the Hidden game that wasn't a copy had this golden aura about them.
'Well this is strange' thought Lucy.
"Night of falling stars!" Rufus said.
His attack hit everyone except for Lucy and Nullpudding who dodged.
Before Lucy could attack, Nullpudding got first. But a copy of Rfus was the one got hit.
"Huh? A copy?" said Nullpudding.
Rufus disappeared then reappeared after Nullpudding's attack had gone past where he was.
"Don't worry you won't lose any points, that was simply the memory of me being there" said Rufus.
Lucy warped being Rufus and she was standing on a cloud of darkness.
"Memory-make? What a nice magic… Not strong enough to defeat me but still what a nice magic you have" said Lucy.
Rufus whipped around.
"Hello" Lucy greeted.
Lucy got an evil-smile as she rose up her Mochi Hammer.
"And good bye!" Lucy said.
Lucy smacked Rufus on the head with her Mochi Hammer gaining her another point.
"And time is up!" Chapati yelled.
The buildings disappeared just leaving the point stone and Lucy helped Rufus down to the ground on her cloud of darkness.
"Thanks" said Rufus.
"You're welcome" said Lucy.
"Yumigami, you can have your powers and Mochi Hammer back now" said Lucy.
The glowing eyes and mark disappeared as did the Mochi Hammer.
"What kind of magic is that anyways?" asked Eve who was holding his head with one hand.
Lucy only looked and him and put a finger to her lips saying.
"It's a secret" said Lucy.
Lucy just placed her hands inside of her pockets and she just stood there as the standings we're called out.
"In first Sabertooth with 10 Points" Chapati announced.
Rufus started holding the place where Lucy hit him.
"So I guess getting hit by Lucy with that Mochi Hammer was worth it" he said.
"In second, Love and Lucky with 8 Points" said Chapati.
Lucy placed her hands in her pockets as Kisame jumped onto her shoulder.
"You did your best Lucy" said Kisame.
"That was boring" said Lucy.
"In third place, Nullpduding with 6 points."
"In fourth place, Lyon with 5 points."
"In fifth place, Eve with 4 points."
"In sixth place, Beth with 3 points."
"In seventh place, Yeager with 2 points."
"In eighth place, Juvia with 1 point."
"In last place, Gray with 0 point!"
"Fairy Tail came in last. Even with two teams" said Lucy
Lucy went over to Gray and Juvia holding out two suckers to them.
"What are you doing?" asked Gray.
"Think of it as a consolation prize" said Lucy.
They smiled.
"Juvia thank you" Juvia thanked.
"Thanks for this I feel a little bit better" said Gray.
"Love-Rival!" Juvia exclaimed.
But Lucy only ignored her and walked away back to her place.
"Now it's time for a battle! Everyone please clear the field!" Chapati yelled.
Everyone went to the place where their teams should be.
"Now are first battle of the day is...!"
"Flare Corona from Raven Tail versus Kisame from Love and Lucky!"
"Well this should be interesting" said Yajima.
"The cute little fox has to fight Flare? Do your best cute little fox!" said Jenny.
"MY NAME IS KISAME!" yelled Kisame.
"Heh, Heh. Blondie fox" said Flare creepily.
"Do your best Kisame I know that you'll do well" said Lucy.
"You got that right!" said Kisame.
