Fairy Tail: Dragon Slayer Lucy

Chapter 7: Hidden and the Match

"Okay! Let's start Hidden! All teams, please choose your participants!" The crowd roared as Chapati announced the game.

A buff guy with a ponytail stepped forward from the Quatro Cerberus team, "I'll take point!"

His team leader nodded, "Don't forget! Your soul is always..."

"WILD!" the man yelled.

"The first person to step up is Yeager!"

A young girl dressed in a western style outfit spoke to the Mermaid Heel team leader, "I'll go first, if that's okay!"

"I'll permit it." the older woman said cooly.

"Mermaid Heel is going with Beth Vanderwood!"

The armored man from Raven Tail muttered lowly, "Nullpudding, you're up."

"Got it." A short man with a huge chin stepped out of their ranks.

"From Raven Tail, it's Nullpudding!"

Lamia Scale was debating with each other.

"If it's Hidden, we should send someone small who can hide easily!" Chelia argued.

"No way! I wanna go first!" Lyon said

"Oh, great..."

"Lamia Scale is going with Lyon Vastia!"

From the Blue Pegasus team, Eve stepped up to the plate, "I'll go!"

"Eve, Eve! Goes first!" his team chanted.

Jenny cheered into the microphone, "Yes, Eve! Win it all the way!"

"Pegasus has selected Eve Tilm! Now, who will Sabertooth select?!"

The blonde man with the mask and hat walked out of his team's midst, murmuring softly, "I'll go. The birds are singing a lovely song today." He took his hat off and held it up to the crowd, making the cheering rise exponentially.

"They've chosen! The bard who sings to the red moon! Rufus Lore has entered!"

Natsu tch'd, "What's the big deal..?"

"Who should we pick? The contest is Hidden, so it's probably going to involve stealth..." Erza mused. Natsu grinned.

"Do you really have to wonder about that? I'll go" He said.

"No way in the hell" Lucy quickly shouted. "you're just going to attack recklessly" She gestured to Gray who already half naked before nodded.

"I'll go first. If that bastard Lyon in, I'll go as well"

"Fairy Tail A is going with Gray Fullbuster!"

"Juvia think Juvia'll join her beloved Gray-sama." Juvia cheered.

"Do your best, Juvia" Mira called after her.

"Fairy Tail B is sending in Juvia Lockser!"

A short man wearing a pumpkin head walked into the stadium and gestured to the competitors, "Participants for "Hidden", please come forward!"

Chapati spoke enthusiastically into his mic, "We're just about set to start! But what kind of competition will this be? Mr. Yajima, are there any players we should watch closely?"

"Hmm...Rufus is definitely the crowd's favorite" Yajima mused. Chapati looked over at Jenny.

"What about you, Jenny? Who will you be watching?" She smiled happily.

"Well, Eve of course! He's super strong!"

As the competitors gathered around the pumpkin man, Gray smirked at his rival.
