Chapter 5


First Day: July 1, X791

First Event: Hidden

Everyone had now chosen their participants. Lucy cheered as Rufus and every other guild mage entered their arena. The Memory-Make mage turned around and looked at his guild mates one last time, oh they were so supportive in everything. Everyone cheered for him, her Lucy-nee absolutely the loudest. Rufus chuckled at the sight of the Stellar mage and proceeded to listen to the mechanics of the event.

As the pumpkin was explaining, multiple clones of the contestants appeared much to Juvia's delight. Rufus, on the other hand, smirked knowing that the event was too advantageous for him. Might as well play with them for a little while.

"Ready, and start kabo~!"


Everyone had now gone into hiding. Juvia can be seen hugging every possible "Gray-sama" there is and keep getting deduction points which made Lucy giggle from the audience.

"Lushi~ What's funny?" the red exceed asked

"Oh nothing. I just saw something very interesting." Lucy said through her giggles.

Rufus witness Lucy giggling at the Fairy Tail mage and it made him smile. Just seeing the stellar mage's happiness makes him smile, and that was enough for him.

As time passed by, the memory-make mage decided it was time for him to proceed with his plan.

"Guess it's time to unleash one of my secret weapons to the Fairies. Forgive me Lucy-nee." Rufus smirked. The memory-make mage then jumped onto a high roof and determined each and everyone's location.

"Memory-make: After Image" Rufus casted.

A thought projection of the Stellar mage wearing the pink frilly dress and sunhat was casted in front of every enemy. Everyone from the Sabertooth guiled cheered at the sight of this knowing that the After Image Rufus casted was Lucy.

"EHH?!" Lucy turned red from embarrassment at the sight of this. Why'd on earth would Rufus record her in that outfit? It was so embarrassing. She was having a mental breakdown. Of course, no one from the other guilds recognized her after image because of the huge hat covering her face, but it's still risky.

"Waaahhh! Fro thinks Lushi is very pretty." The frog-wearing exceed commented. Sadly, Lucy didn't hear any of this as she was busy sulking in a corner out of embarrassment.


Fairy Tail A (Gray),

Gray was taken by surprise when a girl suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He readied his fighting stance and was about to attack when the mysterious girl looked at him and smiled.

"Lu-lu… AHHHH!"


Lamia Scale (Lyon),

Lyon was frozen from the spot. It couldn't be, it.. it was her! He immediately knew it was her because he couldn't get that dress and sunhat out of his mind. Just need to take that damn hat away from the lovely face of her!

"Please tell me your name- AHHH!"


As everyone was distracted with the after image of the celestial mage, Rufus glanced at his guild and smiled.

"Man, it's so fun messing with Lucy-nee. Memory-make: A Night of Falling Stars." With that, beams of light were released from his body and were directed to the enemies' locations. Ear-piercing screams later followed, and thus ending the first event of the day.

And the results of the event are as follows:

1st: Sabertooth (10 points)

2nd: Raven Tail (8 points)

3rd: Lamia Scale (6 points)

4th: Blue Pegasus (4 points)

5th: Mermaid Heel (3 points)

6th: Quatro Cerberus (2 points)

7th: Fairy Tail B (1 point)

8th: Fairy Tail A (O points)


"Rufus! That was amazing!" Lucy hugged Rufus when he returned to his guild area. Lots of cheers and claps were heard as he made his way to his comrades. He couldn't have done it without their support, especially from Lucy-

BAM*

"But don't ever do that again" the celestial mage huffed as she whacked his head.

"Yes. I'm sorry." Rufus said while rubbing the huge bump on his head. Damn! This girl can hit. Minerva, Yukino, What do you even feed her?!

As everyone was resting from their post, a certain white-haired mage was busy eyeing the cloaked Lucy. His mind was obsessing over her, he can't get her out of her mind. Why can't he just-

"Lyon-sama should just talk to Lu-nee. She was your comrade in the past, why are you shy now? Is it because Lyon-sama loves Lu-nee? Love is truly a great thing ne?" Sherria blurted breaking his thoughts.

"Yes. She was a lovely comrade. Eh- SAY WHAT?!" Lyon shouted out. She- she was a comrade in the past? But who?! Without a second thought, the ice-mage ran towards the Sabertooth's post.

"How slow of him. Even I immediately realized that she was Lucy-sama." Jura face palmed which Sherria agreed.


As everyone in Sabertooth were laughing and enjoying themselves, both of the exceeds saw their white-haired mage friend approaching. Before the exceeds can even say Hi to him, a very red Lyon immediately took Lucy's wrist and anxiously shouted "Please let me borrow her."

Before Lyon could even take Lucy away, Minerva already held a dagger in front the ice mage's neck. Both his wrist were detained by Sting and Rogue, and Yukino, Orga & Rufus were already in their fighting position. So much for asking her name.

"Wait everyone. He was the friend we were talking about." Lector said. After hearing the red exceed's explanation, they let Lyon go.

The ice mage bowed in front of them and apologized. "I'm sorry for my rudeness. But pl-please let me speak with her."

Lucy smiled at her comrades and told them it was okay. She held Lyon's hand (which didn't go unnoticed by her very possessive comrades) and pulled him away from the crowds. The Heartfilia still holding his hand led him into a secret passageway that leads to a garden. The garden was absolutely breathtaking, it was like a dream. A dream he never wanted to wake up from.

"Nice place I found right? I sneak away from my comrades from time to time and tend to relax here." Lucy said. As she was about to let go of Lyon's hand, the ice mage stopped her.

"Please let me stay like this, just a little longer." He said as he intertwined his hands and locked it with Lucy's. Lyon was looking down at the ground, his face was flushed. He was extremely happy that he found her. If she was an old comrade, how come he didn't notice her before? Without a second thought, he swung Lucy to his direction and hugged her.

Lucy was caught off guard with all the happenings. When did Lyon become so… soft? Does Lyon have a problem? He must've wanted someone to comfort him.

"Please show me your face. Who are you? Please tell me." Lyon whispered ever so gently in the embrace. His heart was beating so fast, his face extremely flushed, he was sweating, and his hands were shaking. Everything will become clear now. He released the hug and reached for the hood of her cloak.

The wind blew harder as the hood of her cloak fell down from her face. Her hair danced with the breeze of the wind, her eyes shone brighter than the sun. Her face was redder than usual, but she became absolutely more beautiful in Lyon's eyes. All this time, it was…

"Lucy." Lyon whispered. His heart was beating even faster. When did she became more beautiful? Lucy was frozen, she didn't know what to do. Lyon stared at her longingly, the puzzle is finally complete. He couldn't take his eyes off her. Slowly his face became closer and closer to the celestial mage's, their faces were inches from each other. And-

BAM*

Before their lips could even touch, a huge struck of lightning had hit Lyon. Only Lyon.

"Vastia. It's not nice to play jokes. You and your half-assed feelings should get a rain check." The mysterious figure said.

"Laxus!"Lucy blurted. Laxus definitely looked pissed. Why was he pissed? Was it because of the games? That seems logical. But he did saved her.

"I'm so sorry Lucy. I didn't know what got into me. I just wanted to return you this." A flushed Lyon handed something to the celestial mage and ran away from the scene.

The Stellar mage looked at her palm and saw that it was her missing necklace. She chuckled at the scene and put on her necklace.

"You had it all along. Thank you." Lucy whispered and smiled. She went to where Laxus was standing and thanked him too for caring for her. She asked for him to not tell anyone and Laxus complied with her request.

In the end, they parted their ways and left to their respective areas. "You should be more careful. I never want to see anything like that ever again." Laxus whispered to himself as a pang in his chest area started to form.


"Lucy-sama! Just in time! The battles are about to start!" Yukino said when she saw Lucy returning.

Everyone was so eager and engulfed in the event. Lucy was back at her usual self, she must've misunderstand Lyon's intentions. That was definitely it.

Everything happened so fast, the battle of Elfman and Flare ended up with Raven Tail's victory. Ren's victory was also surprising. Now it's time for the third battle of the day. The lacrima showing the contestants started picking randomly with Warcry as the first competitor.

"And fighting Warcry is … The hooded figure from Sabertooth kabo~!"

With the battle commencing, every Saber can be heard cheering for the said mage. Sherria also cheered for her, which Lucy answered with a smile. Lyon and Laxus on the other hand was silently observing.

On the downside, Fairy Tail mages had no ideas it was their beloved Celestial Mage.


"Ready set kabo~!" the pumpkin man yelled.

Without any hesitation, Warcry initiated the first attack and kept apologizing while he attempted to hit Lucy. For the celestial mage, avoiding him was no problem due to those 3 months of training with her comrades.

Knowing that physical attacks hadn't been much effective in battling the Saber mage, the Quatro Cerberus mage initiated his tear magic. Which was a definite BIG MISTAKE. Lucy seeing her enemy's strength and speed increased, she stopped.

She stopped defending.

She stopped attacking.

She only stood.

Silence followed throughout the crowd and anticipated her next move. Warcry took this as an opportunity and directly charged at her.

Lucy only smirked and held her fist to her palm.

"That position!" Lyon and Gray yelled in unison (out of shock). Everyone looked at the two ice mages. WHAT ON EARTH IS HAPPENING?!

"ICE MAKE: GEYSER!" Lucy yelled as Warcry was about to collide his fist onto her. Within seconds, a HUGE massive explosion of ICE has covered the entire stadium. The attack was so strong, it blew everyone out of their seats. Smoke of dust and rubble fogged the entire arena. A figure can be seen through the fog, but whose figure is it?

As the smoke cleared up, a knocked out Warcry can be seen frozen in one of the icy glaciers of the mage's attack. But that wasn't the only thing that caught there eye, an unhooded mage (due to her attack) standing in the middle of the arena holding out her fist in the air broadcasting her Saber mark was seen.

"LUCY?!" Everyone except certain people (the ones who know her true identity) screamed at the sight of her.

Lucy looked around and realized "OH CRAP!"

Omake:

The wind blew harder as the hood of her cloak fell down from her face. Her hair danced with the breeze of the wind, her eyes shone brighter than the sun. Her face was redder than usual, but she became absolutely more beautiful in Lyon's eyes. All this time, it was…

"Lucy." Lyon whispered. His heart was beating even faster. When did she became more beautiful? Lucy was frozen, she didn't know what to do. Lyon stared at her longingly, the puzzle is finally complete. He couldn't take his eyes off her. Slowly his face became closer and closer to the celestial mage's, their faces were inches from each other. And-

Their lips finally touched. It was soft and every guy's dream. When Lyon parted from the kiss, he opened his eyes.

"GRAY?! GROSS! GET YOUR ASS OF MY LIPS! OH MY POOR SOUL HAS BEEN TAINTED BY- BY- BY YOU! DAMN YOU." Lyon screamed as he ran away from the garden.

"Thanks Gemini" Lucy giggled

1 hour later, Crocus City ran out of toothpastes stock.
