It's been 2 weeks ever since Naomi and Alacia came to Fairy Tail. Surprisingly, they have adapted into the crowd quite nicely. They've been going on missions with Natsu and the others and are much stronger than they appear to be.

"Woah you're really strong Alacia" Lucy chuckled a little bit as she and the others were on their way back from another successful mission. "You and Naomi are one of the most unique people I've met so far!"

"Oh thanks I guess" Alacia awkwardly chuckled which clearly seemed fake but Lucy was too oblivious to see it.

"Ahhhh how much do we need to walk? Ugh." Naomi once again complaining about the large distance of travel.

"You know the least you can do is at least say thank you to the compliment that I gave you like 30 seconds ago.."Lucy sweat dropped but then laughed because Naomi was legit the female version of Natsu.

Along the way back to the guild, they met a strange young boy with black messy hair who was standing in front of the guild. Examining the foundation of the mighty building he just sighed and walked off without noticing the group who was a few feet behind him.

"Hm? Who's that?" Naomi peered over Alacia's shoulder to see what was going on.

"Hm...was he thinking about joining the guild?" Lucy crossed her arms and had a confusing look on her face.

That was when Erza silently reappeared after disappearing for a while, "Perhaps this is his first guild"

"KYAHH ERZA YOU SCARED ME WHERE WERE YOU THIS PAST HALF HOUR?!"

"Oh I got a cake for all of us to share in celebration of another mission success with Naomi and Alacia!" Erza held up a box that contained a cake with beautiful cream details topped with a few strawberries here and there.

"YAY! TIME TO EAT" Natsu and Naomi said in unison then started having their own argument on who gets to have the first bite.

"HEY I GET THE FIRST SLICE PRINCESS SCARF BOY"

"WELL EXCUSE ME MISS I'M SO BADASS I CAN TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING MYSELF"

"WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN?!"

"OH YOU CLEARLY KNOW WHAT I MEAN"

As Naomi and Natsu were pointlessly arguing about the cake, Lucy and Erza noticed Gray zoning out unusually. "Gray, you okay? You seem off.." Lucy tried to get him back to earth. He didn't answer the first time. "EARTH TO GRAY HEY HELLO HI THERE" Lucy yelled in order to get his attention.

"Huh? Oh sorry." Gray finally heard Lucy and barely processed her words.

"You should go rest, you look tired all of a sudden" Erza insisted 

"Yeah I think I should. See you guys tomorrow" Gray left without hesitation and started walking towards his house.

As Gray was waling towards his house, a small gust of wind gently hit him in the face causing him to look at the ground while he was walking. With a slight rustle in the trees, he looked up as a young girl brushes pass him quickly. Staring for a second too long, he took note that she had long sleek rainbow hair that ended at her lower waist.

The girl looked over her shoulder and created eye contact with ice mage who was still staring at her.

"Can I help you?" She tilted her head gently and broke the silence.

"Huh oh uh sorry.." Gray started to quickly walk off the other direction.

When Gray had finally arrived in front if his house, he felt a sharp pain in his head. "Errrgh.." he held his head with his hand and his vision started to go out of focus. His knees gave way and so did his vision, causing to to pass out and fall to the floor.

A few minutes later, a silhouette appeared in front of the passed out ice mage.

Her rainbow hair glittered in the sunlight as she placed his arm around her neck and attempted to lift him up. "Geez...the things I do for people..." she used her free hand and turned the handle to Gray's house. "Who leaved their house unlocked tch..." she muttered before dragging herself and the unconscious ice mage in.

She placed Gray onto his bed and started to leave when a sharp pain was felt at the back of her head.

"What...the hell..." she leaned against the wall trying to fight the severe headache until it tensed down a few minutes later. "Ugh..this is weird.." she silently left the house with a sense of confusion.

However...in another realm, a lacrima is presented with the scene of the girl walking out of Gray's house. In front of the lacrima sits a dark figure with a dark aura enshrouding him. The screen divides into three so it shows the following people: Gray, the girl, and..Natsu. The dark figure smirked.

"The games are about to begin."
