Arcin; Ugh so busy!

Lucy; What's with you?

Arcin; So tired. I've been so busy the last while. Also I've been binge watching something and I stay up for over 24 hours because of it. Things are so busy and I'm so stressed and so many other things are going on in my life.

Lucy; You've really have been busy.

Arcin; Yeah of course. I really need to work on a lot of other things too.

Lucy; So have you made any progress?

Arcin; On what thing?

Lucy; Your one story. You know the one that Roxie girl is from.

Arcin; Oh yeah. I finished the rough and I've entered to story in a contest on Inkitt. I just really need to type out all the the rough draft's of the story. An there is a lot, plus all my other stories, and my life, also my job. I have to keep everything balanced.

Lucy; Well you took it all on good luck with every thing. Actually how do you find that story of your's?

Arcin; Why?

Lucy; Maybe some one wants to find it.

Arcin; Fine. The story is called The Assassin, my pen name on that site it the same. So if you want to read that story go a head an check it out maybe help it out in the contest if you really like the story. Now can we get to the story then let me get back to work?

Lucy; No reason. Arcin does not own Fairy tail or any of its characters. She only owns her own characters. Now if you like favourite, follow, and review.

Arcin; Now on to chapter 35.

Contest and Fights

Chapter 35

(Zara's POV)

It's finally halfway through the closing moon and some more of my magic has returned. I have more freedom then I did before but nothing great. Though my magic ability is greatly increased I can use pretty much all my spells, but my dimensional powers, and illusion magic for some reason even though it is a magic that is used in this world.

I saw on a sign about a contest that the guild was holding for money. I thought of signing up for fun and give the prize if I win to someone else as I do not need it.

I was currently in the process of doing right now. As I went to the sign up place. Master notice and wanted to talk to me so I went over to him.

"What's wrong master?" I asked. "Are you sure you'll be alright to perform in this?" Master asked. "Yeah I'll be fine. Beside I'm doing this for fun. I'll make sure not to push myself to hard if that's what your worried about." I sighed walking away.

This will be fun. I wonder what is going to happen. I muttered. I grinned slightly, then left the guild hall. I know what I'll do better get ready for it. I chuckled.

(No one's POV)

The contest has began everyone was here but Zara. "Thank you for that performance Mira now lets call out our next contestant-" they were cut off when an albino pup hopped up on stage with a stick in its mouth.

The pup threw the stick in the air and then caught it in its mouth and did a roll in the air. It bite down on the stick and flames came from its mouth on to the stick. Landing on the ground it threw the stick again but right above it this time. It used air magic to make the stick be higher above its head and spin to make a circle.

It sent another flame at the stick and burned the middle of the stick. Then the pup jumped up to the ring of flames. As its one paw passed through the flame ring water shot up and the ring causing a mist.

All the could be seen was a shadow of that inside. The shadow landed which was much larger than the pup. The shadow stood up and the mist began to clear slightly to begin revealing what is inside the mist now.

The figure's face was still hided but you could see that it was wearing a cute black bikini. A tail was wrapped around its leg, you could see ears as well.

The mist cleared to reveal Zara standing there with her right hand pulling her right ear down, with her left hand near her mouth, left knee slightly bent, her tail wrapped around her right leg. She had cute and sad pleading eyes, while standing in a cute pose.

"I-i'm sorry." she whimpered cutely, with her hair draping her shoulders. "Thank you for that performance Zara." she was told and went to the back.

She went to the back of the stage and went to talk to Erza and Mira. "That was fun! Do you guys often have things like this?" she asked tail wagging.

They talked as the contest went on, at one point Zara went off to grab something as she was cold. She came back to see someone freezing the others. She began chanting a spell as they got closer and closer to her. When they froze her, the spell she was chanting was complete.

Another contest was under way the guild hall was pretty much empty as The spell that Zara cast took effect and she was no longer stone.

(Zara's POV)

I took a deep breath as I fell to the ground. "How are you no longer stone?" Master asked me. "Before I was turned to stone I cast a spell to make what ever it was ineffective to me but I had to make it appear like it worked to I made the spell activate on a delay to free me." I panted holding my chest.

"Huff… I didn't get time to cast the spell to help the others. Though I may not have had enough energy to do so for everyone. I would have tried but I had no time anyways. If I was there sooner I could have probably saved them." I sighed.

"What do you mean?" Natsu asked. "I was getting cold so I went to the back and grabbed my jacket I came back as it began it was to late to do anything but cast that spell." I groaned, as I was having trouble keeping myself up.

"Are you alright Zara?" Master asked. "Ugh…. I will be… I should help you out to… stop this." I panted. "Your not alright you used too much magic power." Master told me.

"Yes… I know that. Like I said that spell I wouldn't be sure if I could us it on the others. It's one of my most advance spells that I use. I didn't know what magic it was so to make sure I didn't mess up I used it to have amenity against anything." I groaned.

"You need some to take out someone right… So I can't stay here and rest." I sighed. "You're going to let yourself rest to regain your magic energy." Master told me forcing me back down. "F-fine. But what are we going to do? It's obvious that you can't leave if your still here." I asked being held down but Natsu now.

"We have to wait." Master answered. "Damn… I hate waiting like this." I groaned. "Natsu can you take her upstairs to let her rest?" Master sighed. "Alright gramps." He replied as he picked me up and took me to the infirmary. "I know you don't like to sit here either so why are you?" I asked.

"Freed placed runes around the guild hall and I can't seem to leave for some reason." he answered. "That makes sense then…. though I don't know who this Freed guy is." I muttered.

Natsu placed me in one of the beds. "Now sleep. Try to regain you magic energy alright." he sighed. "Yes… I'll try. Too bad that you can't get out. You probably really want to join this." I sighed.

"Well of course it would let me fight the other's of the guild." he proclaimed. "Heheh. Yes of course." I chuckled.

"Ugh. I wish I could be more useful right now. I'm not used to sitting on the sidelines." I muttered. "Same for me. I hate sitting back I'd rather be up in front." he agreed.

"It shouldn't take too long... I hope, to regain my magic energy." I muttered as I pulled the blankets over me and fell asleep.

I woke up as few minutes later Master was in here as well and it seems that everyone is free from stone. I was happy about that, I got up from the bed I was in and went to a window to see these odd things floating in the sky above the city. I climbed out the window to the roof to look at it better it.

I then headed the plan about destroying these things. Lucy going off at the guild for their reply to this plan. " Heheh. Lucy don't worry if the other guild mates won't do anything. You still got me as help to brake them! I don't care what pain comes from these things! I won't let this town get destroy because of them." I laughed. "Zara!"

"Yep I may have been out for so long but that doesn't mean you should count me out. Now since it seems like the guild full of babies who are afraid of a little shock we'll have to take it out our self!" I huffed. "Are you guys going to let these newbies make sure look bad?!" Warn exclaimed.

The guild was all pump know. Lucy was happy about the guild banding together to take these things out. We took them out all together and got shocked by them. "Jeez these things sure pack a punch." I chuckled.

"Too bad I couldn't have been anymore of a help for this." I sighed I hand bat wings appear on my back as I jumped off the building to land softly on the ground below.

It's all up to them now. Good luck. I sighed.

Time skip~that night.

Master had me become a part of this parade that the guild puts on. Gajeel and Natsu were both bandage up… very much so. "You went all out and got really hurt. Good job but jeez you look really bad you two." I chuckled.

"No! I can still fight." Natsu exclaimed. I hit him in the chest and he winched. He went to grab me and I jumped back. "Come back here!" he exclaimed. "Nope! Not happening you have to catch me!" I exclaimed running off.

In the parade we show off our magic. I showed off my fire magic making spirals, having it lace my feet and hands and tail as I moved around to show it off.

At one point we did this hand just I copied what everyone else did doing the hand gesture as everyone else was. The parade was really fun and the town also was enjoying it too.

These guys are so much fun and weird. It's hard to believe that things can be this way. I wish I could have fun like this all the time. I chuckled.

Arcin; Hope you like the chapter. Need to get back to work and I think their up to something.

Lucy; Everything is fine.

Arcin; You gave me a cookie.

Lucy; So?

Arcin; Cookie is something to distract me from something.

Lucy; It's just a cookie!

Zara; Hey a cookie.

(Zara takes the cookie and eats it.)

Arcin; NO! My cookie.

Lucy; I thought you didn't want it.

Arcin; I didn't say I didn't want it. I just want to find out your reasoning for the cookie gift.

Lucy; Why is that a your reasoning.

Arcin; People only give me things when they want something or are trying to get in my good books.

Lucy; Really. Couldn't it be just because.

Arcin; I guess... I need a nap. I'm going to bed.

Hope you like the chapter. I'm thinking of ending the story soon so thank you everyone that have come this far in the book and have encouraged me along the way. I'll see you in the next chapter.
