"Our first match will begin shortly and this will be a combat match one on one!" People clapped and soon a lacrima screen popped up. It had the names of every guild and then another blank screen on the right of it. "Now the first match will be chosen at random and two guilds will be generated and then on the blank screen to the right, the names of those guild members will be shown. Those will be chosen at random as well! Good luck!" People cheered and then got really quiet as names flipped very fast and I watched one of them stopped on Sabertooth. People gasped and cheered. "Wow, a really strong start I see! Next are their competitors!"
The screen showed another very fast flashing of teams and it slowed down and stopped on Fairytail. People stood in their seats and stomped ready for the match. We all hooted for Fairytail and Sabertooth laughed. We were all friends now after the games a few years back, and I was excited to see who would be competing. I shifted in my seat to stop the pains coming in my legs. I knew that cuts were forming, but I held it in.
"Alright now who in Sabertooth will be competing?!" Many people looked as it shifted from Minerva, Sting, Rouge, Rufus and Orga. (Yukino is reserve) and it slowed down. Minerva, Sting, Rouge, Rufus, Orga, Minerva...Rufus...Rouge…..Sting.
"Sting Eucliffe will be competing in the first match, but against who!?" He activated the Fairytail generator and people stomped their feet again, like a drumroll. I watched as the names flashed and disappeared. This one went a bit longer and then it started slowing. Natsu, Gray, Lucy, Erza, Elfman, Natsu, Erza, Gray, Lucy, Elfman, Natsu...Gray...Erza…..Elfman…..Lucy.
People gasped and the stadium was quiet until I stood up. People screamed and took out lacrima cameras waiting for the action. I unnoticeably limped off the stands and I was about to get onto the stadium until I felt a tug on my arm and it got really hot near my ear. His whisper sent chills down my spine and I wanted to just go back with him and leave forever. "I can smell your blood, you used a lot of magic. Are you sure you want to do this?" Hie hot breath hit my ears and I wanted to say yes badly, but I also wanted to win. "I've got this Natsu, don't worry. I love you." I pecked him on the cheeks and many people awwed. I blushed and he walked back to his seat and when I looked up again, he was watching me closely with a worried face. I smiled and waved but he didn't do anything.
"Now the fight will be simple. You will have 10 minutes to attack with all of your might. If the time runs out, it is a draw. Whoever yields before that receives no points. Whoever wins this match will gain 10 points for their team. Is this understood?" We both nodded and looked at each other. Sting smiled at me worriedly, and I am guessing he could smell blood as well. I shrugged smiling and got into stance. He did the same and I was ready. "Ready, set, fight!"
It was silent as we watched each other and I took off one of my bracelets. It was a magical limiter and I knew I am not supposed to take them off, but I had to win. For Fairytail! I promised I wouldn't be weak anymore, and losing the first match will be just like last time…
My wounds disappeared and one of the three judges on the side watched me. "Did you feel that magic boost? I think Lucy had a limiter!" "Very impressive," Sting said after listening to the judge. I smiled innocently and looked around. "I don't know what you are talking about..." He laughed and then charged at me. "White Dragon's Claw!" He slashed at me, and I barely dodged his attacks. I took off my weakest limiter so I was still a bit tired. He stopped and I brought out a golden key. "Open! Gate of the Golden Bull! Taurus!" A gold shined and Taurus appeared next to me. "Star Dress Form!" I glowed and soon I was wearing a cow patterned bikini, with cowboy boots with two buns and a whip. People whistled and I could feel the radiation from Natsu's heat.
I lunged at Sting with great speed, and a crater formed in the ground where my right foot was. I managed to lay a few blows, but he also did. The cuts on my arms and legs were forming again and I stopped fighting and panted, dodging his last hit and backflipping away. He was a bit tired as well, but he managed to fight off Taurus and white dragon roared him back to the spirit realm. I summoned Loke and he immediately ran at Sting and they fought for a while as I looked at my wounds. I could see the skin breaking and I looked at Fairytail to see Natsu standing in his seat, ready to come to my aid. I don't know why, but this gave me a magic boost. My skin stopped breaking and Loke turned toward me and smiled. He forced closed his gate and I walked toward Sting slowly. He got in heavy stance and waited for my move. He attempted to use Holy Breath on me, but I dodged, jumping to the side. I summoned a platinum key and people cheered for a second, but then grew quiet in anticipation for my next attack.
"Open! Gate of the Shadow Wolf! Shade!" A semi-huge black magic circle appeared right on top of the ground and it vibrated as people stood up to see over the standing person in front of them, and soon the whole place was standing. It looked like a black wolf was jumping vertically through the ground. She hit the ground on all fours and growled. People stayed in silence as the tension grew. Sting was worried, but he hid it well. "White Drive!" His body glowed and I knew from last GMG that it enhanced his magic. He did a holy breath again, but this time it was much stronger. I didn't need to say anything as Shade's fully red eyes closed. It was a couple of seconds, and the attack was right in front of her.
"Shadow Wolf's Howl!" She barked out and a HUGE beam of darkness easily overpowered the bright light beam that Sting created. It hit him head on, and he yelled in pain as he was forced to jump… really high up. Shade stopped the attack seeing that it wasn't hitting anybody anymore. I did some things I knew I was going to regret later…but it was going to look really cool, and it was going to guarantee me a win.
"Force Close!" Shade quickly turned to me before disappearing. "Princess don-" She couldn't finish as she vanished and I took out a silver key. "Open! Gate of the silver wings! Aero!" Quickly, wings appeared on my back and I shot into the sky, creating another crater. Sting was still going up and he was reaching his limit. He hovered for a bit before falling back down. I flew right above him and close Aero's gate. I closed my arms and legs and I was like a bullet flying down toward him. "Star Dress Loke!" My body glowed as she reached the same height and soon I was wearing a black dress with no sleeves and my bun stayed in place as I slowed my descent to the same speed as the White Dragon Slayer. He noticed me and it turned into a fight in the sky. He landed a few good hits, but I managed to get my leg above his head. I sent my foot flying down on him and a wind line was created as he shot down as fast as I came up toward the ground. He was going down much faster than I was, and I knew I had already won since he was out cold. Lector was on the ledge and he covered his eyes. I took out Aries key and Aeros key and summoned them. I had Aero attach to Aries and I sent her to the ground. "Now Aries!" She had seconds and Sting was coming in hot.
"Wool Bomb!" She said and the second her wool came into the stadium, Sting came in. He landed safely on the pink wool and I was losing focus. My body was growing weak and I did the one thing I knew would work. I ate the air. Instantly I felt better and I was still falling but I could hear the judges. "Oh my stars! Lucy can eat the air! What kind of slayer is she?!" Well my cover is blown, so I guess I just have to choose a being. Phoenix will do since Wendy is a Sky Dragon Slayer. "Sky Phoenix Roar!" I yelled as I was close to the ground. This slowed my fall and I landed on my feet nicely. I ate the air as fast as I could and people watched in awe.
"Lucy Heartfilia, the Sky Phoenix Slayer wins!" People cheered and Natsu came running in. He knew I was not going to be able to walk, since eating the element can only do so much. He carried me bridal style and kissed my forehead. "You did good Luce. I am so proud of you, but even if you hadn't have won, I would have still be proud." I smiled with my eyes closed and he carried me back to the stands. I was checked up by Wendy and Porlyusica, and they gave me some medications to gain energy. I thanked them and sat next to Natsu. I watched as Sting was carried off the stadium and I closed my eyes. "Time Arc, Heal." I whispered and Natsu looked a me and then Sting. The white dragon slayer's injuries seemed to go away and his pained face, was now peaceful. "I love you so much." He said sighing and placing his arm over my shoulder. "I love you too, now let's hope I get to watch you fight next!"
