Seth (POV)

Announcer- Those if you in the stands can catch all of the action in crystal clear lacrima vision. I bet the eight contestants in the arena wish they that luxury but that'd make it too easy. Speaking of easy, here are the rules of the game. All of the players are hiding and seeking at the same time. The main objective of Hidden is to locate the other players. Once you've done that, you have to lay an attack on them. The player that successfully connects with their attack whether or not does any damage will be awarded one point.

A bunch of lookalikes of the participants spawn throughout the made up town.

Lucy- What's with all the lookalikes?

Seth- Did Naruto use a Shadow Clone Jutsu or something? This is trippy.

Indigo: I'll give you that one

Nastu- Ugh the thought of that many Grays really grosses me out man.

Erza- That is extremely difficult. Even after knowing Gray for all these years, I'd probably have trouble finding the real one.

I take a deep sniff to analyze their scents.

Seth- Even their scents are the same.

I take another sniff but instead of gathering their scents, my nose is dominated by a weird yet oddly familiar scent I've never smelt before.

A quizzical look crosses my face and Erza takes notice.

Erza- What's wrong Seth?

Seth- Hold on a second. Hey Akuma, Tsukiko. You smell that?

I watch them sniff and take in the scents of this place.

Akuma- A bunch of scents of all the people in this place.

Tsukiko- Yeah that's all I'm getting. This there a scent you're getting that we aren't? Describe it.

Seth- I don't know. I can't really put it into words. All I know is that I've never gotten this scent before in my life and yet my body is responding to it as it's something very familiar. Like that warm good feeling y'know.

I close my eyes and take another deep sniff. I gather that one scent again and when I opuntia eyes, I'm not in the arena anymore.

Seth- WHAT IN THE HELL?!!

My breath catches in my throat and I can't breathe. All I can do is continue to stare at this place. The scent of feeling of familiarity invading every fiber of my body and soul. My vision is starting to get dimmer. I need to breathe. I blink and whatever it is I just saw is no longer there and is replaced by my current environment. I gasp for air as my knees buckle and I fall to my hands and knees. I cough uncontrollably as I gulp down precious air into my lungs. Everyone from both Fairy Tail Team A and B surround me.

Erza- Seth honey are you okay? What's wrong? Talk to me.

Tsukiko- Easy Seth. In through the nose out through the mouth.
