Chapter 6-
Lucy's POV:
-Next Morning 2nd Day of GMG-
I wake up to Azure sitting on my stomach, just looking at me. When I sit up Azure falls into my lap hugging me.
"Morning Lani!" she says to me.
"Morning Azure. Did you sleep well?" I ask her. She nods her head.
"Yep I did!" Azure is always so cheerful and that makes me happy, so my hair and eyes turn to pink. I pick Azure up and sit her down on the bed so I can get ready for the GMG. I requip back into the same clothes that I wore yesterday and put my coat on over them. Then I brush my teeth and hair, put on some deodorant -no perfume today-, and slip on my sandles.
"Azure do you want to wear something different?" I gently ask her.
"Yeah! I want something like your wearing only a dress!" she's so bubbly.
"OK hang on," I laugh. I pick her up again and set her down on my dresser this time. I pull her white ribbon off of her tail and replace it with a gold one. Then I conjure up a cute gold and white dress for her to wear.
"Here you go just slip that dress on instead," I hand it to her.
"What about the black?" she questions me.
"Well you already have plenty of black in your fur," I tell her. Her eyes light up happily and she changes into the dress.
"Awwwwww, you're even cuter now!" I clap my hands in glee. She stands up on the dresser to look at herself in the mirror. Then she twirls around in her dress smiling. Azure jumps on me giving me a hug and I hug her back.
"Let's go downstairs now so we can eat before we have to leave," I suggested.
"OK! I'm hungry too! When we get down there can I have a little bit of chocolate with a banana?" she asks.
"That's a weird combination of foods, but if that's what you like then you can have it I guess. As long as you don't get sugar rush by eating to much chocolate," I pick her up in my arms and walk out of my room shutting it behind me. She nods her head again excited for her morning treat. We start to head downstairs, with big grins on our faces, where everybody else is eating.
"Morning guys!" Azure and I greet at the same time.
"Morning Lani! Morning Azure!" the guild choruses back. I put Azure on my head and walk over to Mira at the bar they have here.
"Hey Mira can Azure have a banana dipped in chocolate? Oh and can I just get some toast and OJ?" I ask her.
"Sure just give me a minute," she responds already starting on it. Azure jumps off my head and on to the counter next to me, to wait for her banana with chocolate. When Mira's done with everything she hands me the toast, OJ, and some jam and butter with a butter knife. Then she hands Azure her chocolate covered banana. Azure is jumping up and down in glee and holding her hands out for the banana.
"Calm down Azure I don't want you to fall off the counter," I laugh at her. She calmed down, but is still slightly jumping up and down. When she gets her banana with chocolate she sits down completely and starts to eat it sighing. I shake my head and start to eat my toast after I put some jam on it. When we're both done eating and drinking everything Mira take the dishes and goes to wash them. Then Azure jumps back on my head and we go to sit with the team to discuss today's events in the GMG.
"So guys you ready for today?" I question them while sitting down next to Wendy.
"I guess so," replies Wendy timidly. The others just shrug.
"Well we should pry get to the arena now anyways the GMG will be starting in 20 minutes and it takes us 10 minutes to get there and another 5 to get to the balcony," I say getting up. The others follow me and we walk to the arena. I wonder why they are so quiet. I furrow my brows trying to think of what the reason could be. It's not like anybody died or left that I know of. I just decide to ask them about it.
"Hey guys. What's wrong you're not normally this quiet? Did somebody die? Did something else happen?" They all just looked at me sadly and my hair and eyes turned a deep blue showing I was sad too because I could see the pain in their eyes. Erza spoke up.
"You see they don't have the GMG the same day as the previous ones. The date always changes. Although, it was seven years ago today..." She couldn't finish because she started to cry, so Gray picked up where she left off.
"It was seven years ago, today that Lucy Heartfilia left us." Now Gray started to cry too. Soon after Wendy joined in, Natsu was the only one trying to not cry. 'So it was seven years ago, today that I left the guild huh?' I thought. Now Natsu started crying to.
"Come on guys cheer up we're almost at the arena," I tried to assure them, "If you think about it if Lucy was really nice would she want you to act this way? I think she would want us to try your best even though I didn't know her." At this they stopped crying and my hair and eyes turned into a emerald green showing I was worried about them.
"You're right she wouldn't want us to act this way. Thanks Lani," Wendy said smiling. Finally they stopped crying and they all smile at me. My hair and eyes turned back to pink. Azure leaned her face down in front of mine from my head and smiled at me upside down. I smiled at her and put her on my shoulder. Then I took off running for the arena with everybody following after me. We ran inside the arena and got to the balcony with 2 minutes to spare. We waited for 2 minutes to see what the event was and Mato finally came on the loudspeaker.
"Welcome to the second day of the GMG everybody!" he started, "The first event for today is Chariot!" One of the announcer's come over the loudspeaker to remind us of the rules like they did in Hidden.
"In Chariot the participants are to race on top of interconnected chariots and reach the goal without falling. You may use any means necessary to get to the goal." Again I volunteer to participate, and the team starts to protest.
"Listen, if I keep participating in the first events we are more likely to get more points and win the GMG," I explained.
"She has a point you guys" Wendy agreed with me.
"OK then I'll see you guys soon," I walked off with a wave. Now my hair and eyes are purple. The people participating for this event are Hibiki, Flare, Yuka, Risley, Sting, and Bacchus. I meet them all at the starting line for Chariot and I get ready to take off with my Speed magic. Next to me on my right is Bacchus and on my left is Risley. I'm smiling and not trying to hide it because I know this event will be a piece of cake for me. Bacchus looks at me and guffaws.
"Well what do we have here? What do you think you're going to win? Fat chance of that!" I look at him and smile even wider.
"Well considering you're drunk all the time and I'm the highest ranked Wizard Saint... Yep I'm pretty confident that I'm going to win," I snicker and nod. Everybody around me starts laughing and then we hear a giant buzzing noise, telling us to take off. Everyone around me starts off simply running and Sting and I are still at the beginning. An announcer comes on.
"Wait! What's Lani doing? Why isn't she moving forward like everybody else? Is she planning something?" Sting has motion-sickness and I'm just letting everybody get father ahead before I use my Speed magic. Now the other participants are at least half-way there.
"Speed Magic, Fast Forward!" I shout. Using that spell I fly past the others in less than five seconds, but stop where Flare is quickly. She is in 5th and when I stop she looks at me. I smile and punch her in the face and then take off again. All anyone could see was a blur and all they could feel was the wind from me rushing past them. It takes me about another five seconds to get to the finish line. Mato is waiting at the finish line for all of the participants to get there. When I get there he jumps up and down smiling that creepy smile.
"As expected of Fairy Tail! Lani is the first player to finish Chariot. Therefore she gains another 7 points for her team!" he shouts into the microphone. I wave and smile my hair and eyes still purple. The crowd cheers once again for my victory. After me comes surprisingly Hibiki, Risley, Yuka, Flare, Bacchus, and lastly Sting (again). We all head back to our teams and then the next event takes place.
"The 2nd event for today is a battle round. There will be 5 fights total and the rules are still the same. If you win you get 10 points, if you lose you get 0, and if it's a tie you get 5 points each! Our first match is Toby from Lamia Scale against Nobarly from Quatro Cerberus!" he shouted. 'Why that annoying pumpkin with his creepy smile... I should just squash him and save everyone from misery.' I grumbled in my head. Both of the members made their way onto the field and the battle started. Toby wasn't doing so well because of his claws. He accidentally scratched his own leg and started to limp because it was numb. I got so bored so I looked at the scoreboard with all of the teams and their points. It read:
Team Fairy Tail- 27 points
Team Blue Pegasus- 17 points
Team Mermaid Heel- 16 points
Team Raven Tail- 6 points
Team Lamia Scale- 5 points
Team Quatro Cerberus- 3 points
Team Sabertooth- 2 points
I started to laugh when I got to Sabertooth's name and all of the others looked at me with their eyebrows raised.
"What's so funny?" Erza asked me. I kept laughing gripping my sides and pointed at Sabertooth's name. Their eyes followed my finger and widened. Then they started laughing too.
"I guess their not doing so hot this year!" Gray managed to squeeze out. Natsu and I were on the floor rolling around, Erza was banging her fist on the table, Gray was smashing his face into a table, and Wendy was kicking her feet in the air. We all calmed down after a moment though.
"Weren't they supposed to be the second strongest guild in Fiore?" I questioned.
"Yeah, but how do you know that?" Natsu responded. I winked and gave him a light punch in the shoulder.
"Uh duh! I watched last years GMG on a lacrima back in the dragon's world for the first time. It was exciting," I told him. He nodded his head.
"I guess that makes sense." Just then my hair and eyes turned golden and the others gasped.
"That's a new color. What does it mean?" inquired Wendy.
"It means I'm relieved," I explained.
"Why are you relieved?" asked Erza again.
"Toby's and Nobarly's battle is over. They really sucked, but it was a tie," I shrugged. A chorus of, 'Ohhhhh' was heard around me. Then the next battle was up. It was Gray against Ren from Blue Pegasus.
"Wish me luck guys!" he said walking off with a wave. We all shouted, 'Good luck!' and he made his way onto the field.
Gray's POV:
My name was called to go out and fight one of the trimens from Blue Pegasus. It was Ren. 'Ren has Air magic so I know what to expect.' I thought. I walked out onto the field with a smile on my face.
"What's up Gray?" Ren asked me calmly.
"Not much, but I'm going to kick your ass and win this thing," I smiled. He shook his head and the battle began. Ren thrust his hands out and a tornado formed in front of them. I could tell he was waiting to let the tornado grow because it kept building in size. When he did let it go I got ready in the stance that Ur taught me. I spread my feet shoulder with apart, held one hand spread apart with the palm facing up, and put the other in a fist on top of it.
"Ice Make, Shield!" I shouted. A shield came up in front of me and once the tornado hit it, it disappeared. My shield was still up and then I let it go down. I smirked at Ren when I did so. HE stood staring at me with his mouth wide open.
"Tough luck buddy," I smiled at him, "Ice Make, Lance!" Seven ice lances appeared and rushed towards Ren. He tried to send them off course with his Air magic, but they sliced right through the air and kept going towards him. None of the lances actually pierced him and injured him, but they did scrape several pressure points making him fall to the ground unconscious. 'Well that was a quick battle, I earned another 10 points for my team though," I thought mentally shrugging. I heard Mato come on the speaker.
"The winner is Gray, gaining another 10 points for Fairy Tail!" I walked back up to our balcony and gave everybody a high five.
Lucy's POV:
Gray was able to beat Ren gaining us another 10 points and when he came back up to the balcony he was smiling. Wendy hugged him and the rest of us gave him a high five. I slapped him on the back.
"Nice job Gray you took Ren down in no time," I congratulated him. He gave me a thumbs up. He walks over to the balcony's edge and next thing we know he's stripped down to his underwear. Erza shrieked dashing to cover Wendy's eyes. I stared at him wide eyed.
"Uh Gray? You're clothes," I managed to say. Natsu didn't notice him because he was lost in thought. I could tell by the look on his face. Natsu rarely thought about anything, I wonder what he's thinking about.
"Oh crap! When did that happen?" Gray asked looking for his clothes. Once he found them and had them back on Erza removed her hand from Wendy's face. Wendy blinked a couple times to let her eyes adjust to the light again. Then Mato came on the microphone again.
"Now time for the third battle of the day! Orga of Sabertooth against Arania of Merm-" he was cut off by a loud roar. I recognized that roar. It was Acnologia, but what was he doing here.
"Dammit Acnologia. You had to come now of all times!?" I muttered under my breath. Everybody in the arena screamed and ran for the exits. Well everybody, except the guilds participating ran out of the arena. In minutes the arena was cleared out and another roar was heard. Then all of a sudden a black and blue dragon landed in the middle of the arena's field. Anyone that was still around that recognized him gasped and shouted all at once, which was mainly Fairy Tail.
"What's he doing here!"
"Acnologia!? Here!?"
"Attack!"
"The Apocalypse Dragon!?"
"Don't show any mercy!"
"Take him out! Save the world!" I chanted quietly under my breath.
"Heavenly Wings I call upon thee." I quickly flew off and hovered in front of Acnologia and put a shield around us so we wouldn't be hurt by all of the magic thrown at us. Everyone stopped throwing their magic at us after the first attack and stood gaping with their mouths open.
"Lani what are you doing?" shouted the Master angrily. I dropped the shield and telepathically spoke with Acnologia.
"Acnologia can you here me?" I asked him.
"Yes your Highness," he responded.
"Will you please change into your human form so the others can here you speak. Considering you can only speak telepathically as a dragon." I reminded him. He nodded his head, and looked at Azure as she flew over to me and into my arms. A flash of black and blue light surrounded him and then he was a human. Acnologia's human form consisted of long hair like Zeref's and Jellal's, but black with his ends died blue. He wore a lot of blue, gray, and black now that I think of it. His shirt was blue, he had a gray sweatshirt on, and on his feet was black combat boots. All of the guilds and their members gaped at him. Acnologia spoke up and looked at me.
"My Queen we have a major problem in the dragons world," he reported bowing briefly.
"QUEEN!?" everybody shouts except for Fairy Tail. I nod briefly telling them that it was true, then I turned back to Acnologia and asked him a few questions.
"What has happened in the dragon world? Will we need the Dragon Slayers that are here and present today at the GMG? Why did Asterodea, Igneel, Grandine, and Metallicana send you instead of not come personally?"
"They are trying to fix the problem as we speak. If whatever they are trying doesn't work it should at least hold off the problem for now. The problem itself is kinda hard to describe though. You would have to see it for yourself. If you want to bring the other Dragon Slayers with you back to the dragon world temporarily, they could probably help us out a lot," he explained. Sting was about to protest, but I glared at him and he shut his mouth.
"OK then lets get going," I motioned my hand with a 'come here' motion. Sting, Rogue, Wendy, Gajeel, and Natsu followed me forwards. Acnologia had a portal waiting for us and we stepped inside it, a bright white light surrounding us briefly. We arrived in front of the castle sprawled on the ground because of the number of people that were traveling through the portal. Azure, Charle, Happy, Lector, and Frosch and Panther Lilly followed us through the portal. Surprisingly I ended up sitting on Natsu's stomach with Happy and Azure. Wendy was sitting on both Rogue and Sting with all of their three exceeds sitting around them. Gajeel and Panther Lilly were in a pine tree. Wendy and I got off of the people we were on and they groaned.
"Finally. I was out of breath," Sting gasped. Rogue hit him in the head and Natsu smiled.
"Sorry it's not our fault we fell on you," Wendy retorted.
"Let's go," Acnologia said gruffly. He was the only one who landed on his feet. We got up and followed him in the castle. The lights were off and because we were all Dragon Slayers we could see thankfully. I smelled a huge amount of food in the dining hall. Apparently all of the others could too because I heard them start to sniff. Natsu's and Sting's face lit up with a grin.
"Food!" they shouted. When they were about to take off I grabbed them by their collars and they choked.
"Not so fast boys," I warned them. They lowered their heads and I let them go. They silently walked in front of me. A couple seconds later we arrived at the dining hall. Everybody sat down at a seat with their exceeds and waited. I sat at the head of the table with Natsu on my right and Wendy on my left. Rogue spoke up, but it was still dark in the castle. The only thing illuminating the area was the candles that were lit on the table. In the dim light I saw Acnologia slip into a door on the right that I've never noticed until now.
"I never new the dragons world was so beautiful. I don't know why were here though. I thought we killed our dragons a long time ago," Rogue said. Sting nodded in agreement staring at the food, drooling. I nodded.
"You almost killed your dragons Rogue. They were barely holding onto life, but Grandine found them and healed them. They are now here in the dragons world of course," I explained. Sting's and Rogue's mouths made an 'O' shape. Then all of a sudden the lights flashed on. We looked around wildly. Asterodea, Igneel, Grandine, Metallicana, Weisslogea, and Skiadrum popped out of nowhere and cheered clapping their hands. Weisslogia and Skiadrum looked almost like Sting and Rogue in their human form except their hair is longer than the two Dragon Slayers. Sting and Rogue shot up from their seats and stood with their mouths gaping open. The dragons all yelled.
"Welcome back Queen Lani!"
Thanks for reading guys and don't forget to review. Like I said sorry for the really late update, I had a bit of writers block. It's done now though! Yay finally! -Gummybears are chasing me
