"Welcome ladies and gentlemen for the annual Grand Magic Games! This years contestants will be the same and don't forget about Fairytail! Sabertooth has been winning it since they had been gone, but they are back!" The stadium vibrated from the cheers. My head was hurting from the noise and it seemed Natsu wasn't fairing too well. Our eyes locked and he smiled gently with soft eyes. I blushed and looked away. Ever since we went public about our relationship, everyone has been going crazy over every 'nalu' moment, or whatever Mira calls us. Now I blush at every little thing he does and I know he is doing it on purpose. My mind focused back on the announcer.

"...not to mention Fairytail says they have a new member!" My eyes widened. "What!?" Mira laughed and walked over to me. She was there as our sub, and her blue eyes shined innocently. "Oh, we wanted to tell everyone about you! I know you are only using celestial magic, but you now have crazy strong spirits!" I pondered over it for a little bit.

She is right… I could summon giants if I wanted to… Maybe only celestial beings. It would be easy to fight together with someone who has my main magic source…

I looked back to Mira. "I am only using celestial beings, like the celestial dragon, or phoenix," Natsu looked offended. "What about Igneel?!" I sighed, and looked into his dark onyx eyes. He pouted and looked away and I just rolled my eyes smiling. "Maybe..." His head spun around and my head collided with a rock hard chest. "Thank you Luce!" My face was beet red. As I struggled, a bright flash came and vanished. "I am saving this forever to show your children!" Mira said putting away her lacrima camera. I screeched and grabbed for the photo. "Give it back!"

The announcer went on to say everyone's names competing by their guild, and it was tradition for the champions to go last. I watched as people stepped on and showed their magic. They were amazing and I thought about what I was going to do. Maybe Loke Star Dress? I know that I haven't showed many people my Star Dresses...

"Next up is Fairytail! There are five members on this team, and six including the sub. Don't forget the new person on the team! They must be powerful competing in the Grand Magic Games!" I cringed hearing the loud cheers. I wonder how they will react when I come out?

"First up is Gray Fullbuster!" Many people cheered as Gray walked cooly into the stadium. His eyes were closed and then he smirked. "Ice make- Cannon!" A giant cannon appeared in his hands made of ice and he shot it straight in the air. He wasted no time for his next move. "Ice make- Grappling Hook!" Two, four pronged grapples shot at the cannon ice bullet, and once they attached, he grabbed the ice chains attached to the grapples and rode them high in the air. People gasped and clapped, and then he let go. I watched him fall, and it wasn't the most graceful thing, but it was still cool watching him do an ice make- kite seconds before crashing in the ground.

"That was nothing short of spectacular! Next up is the Scarlet knight! Erza Scarlet!" People cheered and sat quietly waiting for the performance. Suddenly light shined around her and she requipped. When the light stopped, she was wearing a pink armor which had many wing like structures to it. The design was light and unassuming, but everyone could feel the magic power residing in it. Her two long swords started glowing and she kicked the ground...hard.

A huge boulder went flying in the air, and Erza flew up with it. She kicked it and it broke into many pieces. Next, she changed into her lightning empress and almost teleported to each smaller rock, slicing it in one hit. When they all fell, she stayed hovering for a moment and she requipped again. This time she was in her Wind God armor, and she sliced her wind god sword which placed all of the rocks in the form of the Fairytail symbol. People cheered and screamed at how powerful and nimble she was and I clapped for her. She changed back to normal and smiled walking next to Gray at the edge of the stadium.

"Next up is Elfman!" Elfman went, I am just not really into Elfman… Sorry MAN!

"Natsu Dragneel!" All of the girls screamed his name and he smiled walking out with his fist aflame. I was upset that all of the girls screamed like they 'knew' him, but I remembered that I would probably do the same… But still…

"I'm all fired up now!" The ground vibrated as he sat still concentrating. People started shifting uncomfortably in their seats and I noticed how hot the stadium had grown. Soon and suddenly, the whole floor was filled with flames and Gray could barely keep the Fairytail members from dying. He looked up and shouted. "Fire Dragon Roar!" A giant flame in the shape of a dragon came flying out of his mouth and it moved around the stadium like a flying dragon would. People ducked and some stayed standing while crying in happiness being able to watch such a show. I was impressed obviously and I watched amused, almost in a trance. Then it all stopped and the flames subsided. When people felt safe again, they cheered like crazy. I was next…

"Finally, we have our new member..." He opened the document containing my name and he froze. "L-Lucy H-Heartfilia?" People gasped and I walked out into the stadium smiling. Nobody made a sound and my smile slowly disappeared. Hello? Anyone there? I thought to myself and my prayers were answered when someone finally stood up to cheer… or so I thought.

"BOOO!" Yelled the person standing up and soon everyone was whispering and yelling. "When is the new member getting here?!" "I thought she competed last year? Didn't she suck?" "Why is she here! She is going to ruin the games!" That last one made me snap and I WAS going to do a simple star dress thing for my performance, but now I was going to show them how much I have changed. I walked out into the stadium and people quieted down one whisper at a time. They watched silently as I summoned my platinum key. "What is she going to do, summon that crab to do her hair?" A few people laughed at this, but were shushed by other people who seemed interested. I smiled and looked at the ground. "You ready?" I asked in telepathy. "Of course princess."

I pointed the key at the ground. "Open! Gate of the Celestial Phoenix! Celestix!" A HUGE magic circle appeared right below me and I mentally counted down when I should move. I knew how long it took for them to come out and it seemed people were waiting...and waiting some more. Wind danced around me and my pink shirt flowed around, revealing my toned stomach. My long blonde hair swirled around and I started sweating as my magic drained to create the portal between realms. I didn't have to worry about my butt showing since I just wore black shorts. Suddenly the wind stopped and I could hear the vibrations from the magic circle. My counting stopped and I leaped into action. I did a backflip and it was like slow motion. A GIANT galaxy colored phoenix came out of the magic circle shooting straight upward. I was maybe the size of one of his tail feathers and people gasped. For me, time was still seeming to go slow as my blackflip stopped and I hit Celestix's back. Time resumed and I grabbed on to his feathers as I went from a small backflip to a rocket ride. We kept going higher and higher, until people couldn't see me anymore.

"You know what to do!" I said closing his gate and I fell thousands of feet. I pretended to be asleep and Fairytail laughed as they saw my form. I had my arms behind my head with my finger intertwining. My legs were crossed and my eyes were closed. Suddenly, my eyes opened when I was about 50 feet off the ground. I flipped to where I was facing the ground and summoned Celestix again and people could see the magic circle appearing again. When the black and purple phoenix appeared again, he was no longer directly below me, but to the side a bit. He bowed looking majestic and he stretch both of his wings out and one of them was in my path. I looked at the glowing wings and I knew what he was doing.

His wings were like portals, you go in one wing, and out the other. This was the same for all of the phoenixes, but not the dragons. If I go in on the upward side of the wing, (the side everyone sees) then I will land on the lower side, (the side that touched the belly.) of the opposite wing. When I hit the wing, I was instantly slowed and transported the the other side of Celestix. I appeared out the underside and landed, creating a crater around me. I looked up at Celestix and he nodded, and looked up. His beak opened and he let out the roar of the phoenix. It was like a dragon's roar and an eagles screech. It sounded cool yet intimidating and I found everyone looking at him in awe. Soon he stopped and vanished and I walked out of the crater into the center of the stadium.

"I am not the weak Lucy anymore! I have trained and become stronger, and I have met new spirits as you can see. I will not let Fairytail down, and I will fight for my family!" People stood up and cheered and it was the noisiest one of all. I couldn't hear anything but the loud claps and whistles and when I walked over to Fairytail, all of them were smiling. Soon we walked back to the Fairytail seats and we waited for the first match contestants. I was sweating and wheezing just a bit. I hid it well though and sat down with the biggest smile on my face. Time to watch the first match!
