Hey guys! I hope you liked that last chapter! I mentioned this last chapter, but I'm sorry the fight between Alex and Cana was really bad, but I don't have a good grasp of what Cana's magic can do. Anyway, I hope you like this chapter!

Disclaimer ~ I do not own Fairy Tail

It happened afterward.

Someone else attacked me.

I look at Rin and Wendy's faces and decide to lie instead of worrying them

"I guess it was her," I smile. "Just don't mention it. I don't think she meant to cut me that deep. It'll make her feel bad if she knows."

Rin and Wendy calm down a little, but Rin is still staring at the wound.

"I'll be fine," I assure her, but she just nods.

Who did this? I ask Malthus. Maybe he saw.

I didn't see anyone, but I may have recorded it. He says, and I can almost see his poker face.

How the hell did you record that?! I exclaim. That's not even physically possible.

Well do you wanna see it or not? He asks.

Umm, sure? I say, confused. How is that even possible?

Just watch. Malthus sighs.

I can see myself walking towards the tent, where Rin and Wendy are.

That's when I see it. A wisp of movement.

It hits my leg, and seeps in through a cut.

I can see the cut widen, but it doesn't bleed.

The 'video' ends and I return to reality.

I thank Rin and Wendy for healing, get up, and exit the tent.

The sun is already setting, but people are still at the arena.

I walk back towards our tents, as I think about what that was.

There's still a chance that it's still in me, so I need to get it out as soon as possible.

I check my watch and it reads 8:30 pm

I cast a healing spell on my wound.

A wisp of black smoke leaves the wound, and an excruciating pain takes it's place.

I want to tell someone, but I can't worry them right now. I'll tell them afterward.

I notice that I haven't eaten since morning, so I go out to grab something to eat.

I store the balm in one of the pockets on my backpack, along with my other antidotes.

I leave and Erza hands me a bowl of soup

I eat it, while hearing Deity making his weird jokes.

I don't bother listening, but I do think about that black wisp of smoke.

What was that? I ask myself. Wait a second. What if it was from that thing that was controlling my dreams?

I decide to forget about it, and go to sleep for the night.

That night I don't have any dreams, but a strange feeling settles over me.

I wake up the next morning to Mira's singing.

I get up and go outside. The only other person sitting there is Mai, who's reading a book.

"Hey, what's up?" Mai asks me.

I check my watch, which reads 10:38 am, before responding with "I'm good, you?"

"I'm good," She says, and motions towards a tray with a few sandwiches, some with hot sauce and some plain. "Take something."

I pick up a sandwich, one with hot sauce, because I love spicy things, and start eating. It's really good, especially with the hot sauce.

"Did you make these?" I ask Mai.

"Yeah, with Mira," She replies. "Do you like it?"

"Yeah, it's good," I say.

"That's good to hear," She says, returning her attention to her book.

Before I can say anything, Deity walks out of his tent, yawning loudly.

Mai and I turn around.

"Good morning," I say to him.

"Oh, hey Crystal," He says waving at me. "Hello Crystal's friend."

Mai sighs. "Do you not know my name?"

"Yeah, I do. It's just more fun calling you Crystal's friend," Deity smiles.

"Wow," Mai says, going back to her book once again.

I motion to the tray's.

Deity seems to get it, and picks up a sandwich.

He takes a bite, and I guess he likes it.

He sits down on my other side, seeing as Mai is sitting on my left.

"Yo, Crystal," He says. "What's up."

"The sky," I say, copying what he told me yesterday.

"Come on, stealing my joke? That's a new low for you," He laughs.

It's so much weirder with someone who actually tries to start a conversation, after being around someone who shut down every conversation you tried to start.

I laugh anyway, but before I can respond, Mira's telling us the match-ups for today.

"Today, the first fight will be Lucy vs Alex. The second will be Rin vs Cana. The third will be Mai vs Wendy. The fourth will be Natsu vs Gray. And the highlight for today will be Deity vs Crystal," Mira says.

Looks like I will be fighting Deity after all.

I don't know whether to be excited or scared.

I don't know the full extent of his power, for all I know he could be able to recreate the entire universe.

At least I know he'll be on my side, in an actual fight.

I know I'll have to use my new power. The question is how soon.

As we make our way towards the arena, Deity catches up to me.

"I heard we're going to be fighting," He says. "I'm looking forward to that."

"So am I, but It's going to be last, so we have time to prepare," I say. "And don't expect me to hold back."

"I won't, but I might have to," He says. "If I don't, then I could remake the entire universe."

"I thought as much," I sigh.

We reach the battlefield, and Lucy and Alex are already on.

Mira commences the match.

"Gate of the Scorpion, I open thee, Scorpio!" She shouts as Scorpio appears beside her.

"Scorpio star dress!" She yells, and then she's wearing a backless, short shirt with Scorpio's sign on her left shoulder blade. She has a skirt that comes down almost to her knees, and her hair is braided down her back. She wears boots and bracelet type things on both her wrists, that look like they are made of rings of metal. She also has a frilled red collar.

"Sand Spear!" Lucy yells as a thin, but powerful, beam of sand launches at Alex.

She dodges it, and yells "Ice-make shield!"

She hides behind it, as the sand moves over to where she is.

The shield eventually goes away, and Alex is hit a burst of sand.

She stumbles, and makes an ice shield around herself as she heals.

She makes the shield disperse and attacks with "Ice-make freeze lance!"

She puts her hands together and a bunch of icy spears are pelted at Lucy.

"Sand Wall!" Lucy yells as a wall of sand builds up around her and Scorpio.

The spears stop, and the sand wall goes away.

"We are," Scorpio says, as he make his hand sign, closing his ring and middle finger into his palm.

Lucy sighs and backs up as Alex uses her "Ice Make Cold Excalibur!"

She holds a giant sword made of ice, that resembles Excalibur. No surprise there.

She slashes at Lucy, but Scorpio jumps in the way, with a final "We are," and his signature hand sign, before disappearing.

Lucy's wearing her normal clothes again, and doesn't seem to be exhausted or tired at all.

"Gate of the Archer, I summon thee! Sagittarius!" She yells as some guy in a horse costume joins her.

"Hello," He says, in a monotone voice.

Ignoring him, Lucy yells "Sagittarius Star Dress!"

Suddenly she's wearing a dress with spiky ends that just touches her knees, and her boots come right to edge of her dress. She has a bow and an arrow with a star on the back of it. Sagittarius's sign is on her left shoulder.

Alex yells "Ice-make Death Scythe!" As a scythe appears in her hands.

She swings it, but Lucy's prepared and jumps back.

She shoots at Alex and it hits her arm.

Alex stumbles and falls.

She tries to get up, but falls down again.

She tries to make another weapon, but it doesn't seem like she can summon any more magic

She falls and it seems like Lucy's won.

Mira announces Lucy the winner. Lucy helps Alex towards the balcony and before I can do anything, Wendy starts healing her.

When I get there, she tells me to take a break, considering the fact I healed everyone else yesterday.

I sit down in the grass next to Alex, in case Wendy runs out of magic.

I look down towards the field and it seems that now Rin is up against Cana.

And considering the outcomes of the past two days, I can tell who's going to win.

Hey guys! I hope you liked that chapter! My brother poked my eye with a toothbrush, so now I can't see properly, ugh. Also I know that Scorpio doesn't have his own star dress yet, so I made it up. Anyways, I'll see you all next week! Bye!
