'LISTEN UP BRATS!'

The guild turned around and looked at the Master sitting up on the balcony.

'I will now be announcing the participants for the GRAND MAGIC GAMES!'

The guild cheered and yelled until Master held up his hand.

'Team A: Dara Heart, Natsu Dragneel, Erza Scarlet, Grey Fullbuster and Elfman Strauss!'

The guild once again cheered and patted the participants on the backs.

'Team B: Gajeel Redfox, Mirajane Strauss, Laxus Dreyar, Juvia Lockser and Jellal Fernandes!'

The guild was quiet for a second before they started yelling again and patting them on the backs. Dara nodded at Master and he nodded back thinking that this was going to be good. Dara decided that everyone could come to her private island that her father gave to her to train.

'Everyone! You can come to my island to train. I have made training grounds for us already.'

The teams stared at Dara before cheering.

'Meet me here when the guild opens tomorrow morning we will leave them. For now I will be going on a mission.'

'Dara but what if you take longer than one day?'

'Don't worry Master I will take a normal easy one and I will be back by the hour.

~Time skip: 2 hours later~

'I am back!'

'Welcome back Dara. By the way what was the mission that could have taken that quick?'

'It was to capture a dark powerful mage.'

'You did that by yourself?'

'Yeah so what?'

'No matter. Dara go home and rest for tomorrow.'

'Yes Master.'

Lucy walked home and flopped onto her bed without bothering to take off her cloak.

"I wonder how long I will have to keep hiding myself under the cloak and show them the real me. Lucy Heartfilia."

Dara woke up the next morning to the sound of her alarm. It was half an hour before she had to get to the guild. Dara did her daily needs before heading out to the guild with ten minutes to spare. Half way there Dara got bored of walking so she just teleported the rest of the way. Lucy appeared next to Mira who was opening the doors to the guild.

'Why hello Dara where is your luggage?'

'Inside my staff.'

'Wow. Come inside and wait you are the first one here.'

'No Mira I will wait for the rest here. We are leaving as soon as they get here anyway.'

'Okay. If you say so Dara.'

Dara sat down and leant against the guild hall waiting for the rest to come. Five minutes later Grey, Natsu, Erza and Happy turned up and sat next to Dara on the floor.

'I just can't wait to get onto Dara's island. I'm all fired up now.'

'Now, now Natsu settle down we are just going there for training remember.'

'Yes I need to become stronger.'

Everyone looked at Dara shocked. If she got any stronger than she really would become a monster.

'Uh Dara I don't think you need to get any stronger. Your one of the ten wizard saints remember?'

'Yes I know Natsu. But I also meant to keep my magic under control.'

'Under control what do you mean?'

'No matter the rest are here now. You will find you one day.'

Dara was right coming up to the guild was the rest of the participants. Dara stared at Jellal. She had met him a couple of times when she was traveling and so it was weird to now see him in Mystogan clothes. Dara stood up and went and shook hands with Jellal.

'Hello Dara I haven't seen you in a while. How have you been?'

'Good Jellal. How about you? Are you surprised to see that I am in a guild?'

'I am fine Dara. Yes I am surprised but I am even more surprised to see that Jura is not with you.'

'I told him not to join to so I could verse him in the GMG.'

Everyone was watching Dara and Jellal talk. They were confused to see that Dara and Jellal acted like they were good friends to each other and why Jura?'

'Excuse me. I am sorry to interrupt your conversation but I think that we should be going.'

Dara and Jellal looked at Erza who had interrupted them and then looked back at each other and nodded.

'We will keep on talking later Dara. Now will you do the honours or shall I?'

When Jellal and Dara were traveling together Dara taught him how to open a portal like she does with her staff.

'I will Jellal. You're still only a beginner. I only taught you not that long ago.'

Jellal nodded and watched as Dara drew a circle around all of them and then everything went black for everyone. But only seconds later they were standing on a beautiful island with trees surrounding them. Dara looked around and got her bearings before leading the way into a big clearing. The training grounds.

'Now everyone this is how it is going to go. We have three months and so we can get a lot of training. You can choose whether you want to train by yourself which is not recommended or train with everyone else. But first of all we will all have each individual fights. You can choose between Erza or me.'

'Dara.'

'Dara.'

'Erza.'

'Dara.'

'Dara.'

'Dara.'

'Erza.'

'Erza.'

'Alright Erza it seems you will be taking Elfman, Mirajane and Gajeel.'

'And I will have Grey, Natsu, Laxus, Jellal and Juvia. Now my group follow me to this half of the grounds Erza go in the opposite way.'

'Okay Dara.'
