Chapter 17: To the Games
A normal Day at Fairy Tail...
"Should we do it?"
"We can't bear the humiliation though."
"It should be fine, the Tenrou team is back..."
"What are you talking about?" Erza demanded to know.
"Well, there is this new festival that we had during the 7 years to compete for rankings with other guilds." Max started to explain.
"Yeah, that's right. All guild over Fiore are gathered to fight in this magic competition called the Grand Magic Games." Macao finished up.
"Yoshi! That sounds amazing!" Lucy yelled.
"No wonder it's called a festival!" Gray shouted.
"It sounds fun! I'm all-f-ready!"Romeo cheered.
"This way we can improve our guild's ranking!"Erza smiled.
"Of course we will win this battle, you have the duo dragon slayers here!" Sting bragged.
"Sting-san, you do notice that 7 years passed, so you guys aren't the duo dragon slayers anymore."Wendy brought up.
"Don't be too arrogant..." Rogue advised.
"Akm..." Master coughed.
"Do you guys really think you can win? I sort of doubt that there's a chance for you to win the champion," Master started considering it.
"The No.1 Guild can get a bonus of 30 Million jewels!" Ryuu baited.
""Let's go!" Master excitedly jumped up. This way, our debts can be paid off. Well, even though we sort of beat up Twilight Ogre.
"We've always placed last."
"Sabertooth will be there." Jet and Droy warned.
"I'm all fired up!" Natsu breathed fire just like a dragon. (A/N A few months passed and Natsu eventually got forgiven by the guild members, even though he hurt Lucy and the new guild members so much. He fully apologized.)
"Too annoying!" Droy complained, trying to get his noodles.
"When's the festival?"
"In 3 months."
"Perfect, we have enough time to train to make Fairy Tail the No.1 Guild!" Erza stood up.
"As long as we try our best, we can get there!" Lucy kindly said. That is true, I tried my best and my magic power is really strong now.
"I have to learn the magic from Grandeeney before then," Wendy started flipping through the stack of papers she had.
"I'll train with you too," Romeo proposed.
"Are you guys serious? You guys must be joking." Jet and Droy stared at the Tenrou Team.
"It's harder than you think. It's not like what you guys are thinking, it's more like Hell." Bisca and her husband(A/N Forgot his name here, it's like Alzack or something I think.) sweat dropped.
"Anyways, we've decided to go so no need to worry! Let's go for 30 mil*cough*, I meant NO.1 guild of Fiore!" Master stated.
"Let's go Team Fairy! To be the No.1 guild! To the sea now to train for the Grand Magic Games!"
At the sea...
"You guys better make enough progress to beat us," Jet and Droy expected.
"My Dear sea! I'm coming!" Gray, Sting, and Natsu yelled, charging past Jet and Droy hurling them behind.
"I'll beat you in swimming!" Sting challenged Gray.
"Bring it on!"
"Let's compete in building a sand castle flame brain!" Gray proposed. The 3 immediately got to work
"Eating!"
""Let's compete in tanning!" Natsu challenged them.
"Time to go back to sleep!"
"Whoa, they sure enjoyed themselves," Droy was stoned. How are they going to level up if they do this for 3 months?
"Well, it's the first day, Let's leave them alone. They'll probably train later." Jet said.
"Gray-sama's so cool..." JJuvia commented, blushing.
"Um...how to read this?" Wendy stared at the stack of papers she had. This language...I've never seen it before...
"So the other members of the Tenrou Team are training in different place huh?" Lucy asked Levy.
"Yeah, Mira's team went hiking, Laxus's team are off somewhere, Yukion, Roppi, Ren, Ryuu and Zeref are off somewhere too. Sting and Rogue decided to train together, something about training like good old times. I tried to convince Gajeel to let me go with him on his special training with Panther Lily," Levy answered.
"Hm...go with them? I see how it is Levy-chan..." Lucy teased.
"Not like that!" Levy tried to cover up. The two of them ended up splashing each other with water.
Jet and Droy watched them and started blushing continuing to say," Yeah, yeah, it's the first day, they can relax, let's enjoy it-"
In the afternoon, everyone started actually training. Lucy called out Capricorn and started talking about her thinking the No.1 magic in the world is love.
Levy helped Wendy with reading the papers she had and Natsu ran around with tires on his feet trying to train up his stamina.
At night, all the guild members gazed at the sky, the girls were all in the bath and the guys...well were trying to peep.
Erza threw short swords at the wooden fence, hitting all the guys on the head except for Ren, Zeref, and Rogue who decided not to risk it and didn't join Natsu and the others.
The next day, everyone started training seriously, then Virgo suddenly popped up.
"Princess, we need you help, we have a dire emergency in the spirit world. The Spirit King wants to see you," Virgo explained for her sudden appearance.
"You guys can enter the Celestial Realm while you guys are wearing the clothing," Virgo explained while transporting them there, accidentally leaving Jet and Droy behind.
Lucy and the other guild members were starstruck. The place was so beautiful. The Spirit King appeared and declared," Lucy and her friends, let's party! Welcome back from the timeskip!"
They stood there frozen.
"This was the crisis?"
"Sorry to trick you Lucy! We promise we won't do it every again," Lucy's spirits apologized.
"let's party all night!" The Spirit King declared. Everyone ate, drank, and danced. Everyone was presented some sort of gift from the spirits, let it be clothes, books, or a new friend. At last, the Spirit King wished them Lucy and whisked them back.
"That was the best food I ever ate!" Gray declared.
"it certainly was fun!" Levy said, happy that she got a new book.
"Oh...I forgot to tell you guys," Virgo suddenly remembered.
"Time flow different in the celestial realm," Virgo stated.
"So one year there is one day in the human world? Sweet!" Gray, Natsu, and Sting smiled.
"Nope! One day in the celestial realm equals 3 months in the Human world." Virgo finished off.
Jet and Droy showed up, congratulated them about how hard they worked.
"Damn you, Mustache bastard! Give us back our precious time!" Lucy cried shaking her fist while everyone else except for the "new members that were caught in the time skip" dropped onto the ground.
A bird fly and crashed into Erza's head.
"Look, a note." Levy pointed out.
Erza took the note from the bird and read it.
"we need to head to the westward bridge." Everyone followed Erza to the bridge, it was broken. All of a sudden it fixed itself.
"A trap?" Lucy pondered.
The Fairy Tail members walked across the bridge cautiously. 3 hooded figures appeared and each took of their hoods to reveal, Jellal, Meredy, and Ultear.
"you guys, I thought you guys were in jail?" Gray questioned.
"Well, I'm sure you heard about my prison break Erza, In remember what I did, and I'm really sorry..."Jellal apologized.
"Mainly Ultear did the work~"Meredy cheerfully said.
"I'm to blame about Jelall's actions in the tower of heaven, I was controlling him, sorry Erza," Ultear also apologized.
"We built a guild, an independent guild, not a dark guild, and not an official one, named Crime Sorciere,"Jellal added.
"An independent guild? What does that mean?" Levy asked. I never heard of a guild like that before.
"Crime Sorciere? That sounds familiar,isn't that the guild that destroyed several dark guilds in the past 7 years?"Jet stated.
"Our purpose, is to eliminate Zeref, Satan, and all the dark guilds in the world,we'll never allow evil/darkness to mess with any other mage's life like ours again."Jellal continued.
"Sugoi! That sounds so neat!" Yukion happily said, the twin dragon slayers, Zeref, Roppi, and Ren with her.
"Zeref...be prepared to be taken down for good!" Ultear threatened.
"Wait...Zeref is not like actually evil, he's good now. That was how he was in the past."Roppi defended Zeref.
"Oh...so he's like us now?"Meredy questioned.
"Yeah, I am..." Zeref quietly told her.
"Your names? I believe we haven't met before?" Ultear asked.
"Oh, we're like the newest guild members before the time skip. My name's Ren. That's Zeref as you guys all know, Roppi, , and her sister Yukion. Those are the-" Ren pointed at each member while he introduced them only to be cut off by Meredy when he was going to introduce Sting and Rogue.
"-The Twin dragon slayers from Sabertooth 7 years ago right?" Meredy guessed.
"See our fame is so great," Sting boasted.
"Don't get too arrogant," Gray told him.
"I'm sure that you guys will need more work to beat the improved mages in Fiore. You guys probably can't beat Gildarts yet, who knows."
"You guys goals are really cool. Why don't you guys become an official guild?" Natsu asked, eyes sparkling, sort of starting a new conversation.
"Well you see, fire head, 2 of us are ex-Grimoire heart members and Jellal is a Prison Breaker."Ultear sort of snapped at Natsu. I heard about what he did to Lucy, and I can't really believe it...he's like the one that was all about family yet he ignores Lucy...
"We want to ask you guys a favor since you guys are going the the GMG right?"
"Yeah, what do you need? Someone's autograph?""Natsu absentmindedly asked.
"No, there's a weird, evil kind of magic like how Zeref's used to be like, we hope you can figure out who has it, it could be our clue to finding Satan. We'll support you in the dark."Jellal explained.
"Sure, it seems hopeless but we'll try," Erza looked very determined.
"I'll upgrade your magic with my improved Arc of Time. It'll let you guys use the second origin, making you magic stronger and last longer,"Ultear explained.
"Wow!" Fairy Tail exclaimed.
Off to the side Natsu said," I don't get it but cool!"
"It'll be sort of painful," Ultear warned.
They all gulped. Natsu ran up to Ultear and hugged her.
"When are you going to get off her?"Gray asked frowning at the situation.
Ultear started to use her Arc of Time on Natsu first.
Natsu fell to the floor gasping in pain. Everyone stood their shocked. Does it hurt that much?Uh...escape?!
Jet and Droy ran off stating their excuse,"We're not participating, see yeah guys!"
Erza and Jellal disappeared.
A while later...
Ultear clapped her hands," Now that that's over. haha, you guys can't move eh?"
The Fairy Tail members laid on the floor twitching.
"Now about you guys, you guys don't need it since it doesn't seem to work on you guys," Ultear stated.
"I wonder why though."
"It's a secret, we're just really strong~"Yukion cutely said.
Roppi woke up. "What's with all that groaning? It can't hurt that bad."
"You should see for yourself," Gray complained, wincing.
"I don't need it." Roppi then went back to sleep.
"Hey, wake UP! Will ya?!" Everyone yelled.
