Be My Mate *Sting Eucliffe*

Sky Labyrinth!

Kaminari's P.o.v

When we got back to the inn, Erza was already there and she was pissed. She told us to come back at 9 o'clock and we got back at around 11 o'clock. While she yelled at us about being responsible and whatever, I noticed Wendy wasn't there. "Hey where's Wendy?" I asked. "Yeah it's almost midnight and she still hasn't come." Lucy said looking really worried.

Before anyone could speak, Elfman and Lisanna burst through the door carrying food and drinks most likely for us. "Hey you guys, since tomorrow is the big day, we decided to bring you some snacks." Lisanna said cheerfully as she sat the food down. "Perfect timing Lisanna, could you do us a favor?" Erza asked. "Sure what is it?" She asked sounding a bit curious. "Wendy hasn't come back and we're supossed to come here before midnight." Erza began. "Why before midnight?" "Its a rule." I said and before we could continue, a massive 3D image formed and it was . . . a talking pumpkin man?

"Beginning now, we're gonna take the 113 teams and have a elimination round to narrow them down to 8 teams-kabo!" The pumpkin man in the said in a nasally voice. "What!?" Gray shouted, his eyes full of shock. "We didn't know it was going to be a elimination round!" Erza shouted in disbelief. "This isn't fair!" I said while pouting and folding my arms. "Since the number of guilds that participate each year increases, we're going to have a elimination round and the rules are simple-kabo!" The hologram said and suddenly the inn began to float up and me and Natsu fell to the ground sick.

"What the hell!?" Gray shouted and Lucy pointed out the window. "Look! The other inns are floating up too!" She yelled. "All of you will race to the finish line in the arena Domus Flau! The first 8 teams will go on! He said as paths to a giant labyrinth in the sky. "Your free to use magic, there are no restrictions! Remember the first 8 teams to pass, survive! And all members have to arrive or it doesn't count-kabo!" He said.

"Everyone isn't here, Wendy still isn't here!" Gray said. "Don't worry we have another dragon slayer, Kaminari you have to fill in for Wendy!" Natsu shouted as he pointed at me making me smile. "Yeah you can count on me, I've gotten stronger over the past 7 years!" I said excitedly. "Sabertooth may think that they're on only 3rd Generation Dragon Slayer but they're wrong, they didn't count on me being one and we shall win the Grand Magic Games and rub it in their faces!" I said while laughing madly. "She really hasn't changed at all." Lucy said with a sweat drop.

"And Lisanna and Happy will go look for Wendy." Gray said. "One more thing, we take no responsibility for any deaths in the elimination round." He said in a serious more darker voice. "What!? What kind of games are these!?" I screamed. "Let the Grand Magic Games elimination round, Sky Labyrinth, begin!"

"If this us a race we better hurry up!" Gray yelled. "Yeah let's go win this!" Natsu shouted. "There's the entrance to the Labyrinth!" Erza yelled. "Let's go." I yelled and we ran up to it. When we got in the maze, it was a ton of possible paths to take. "Thus must be a three a dimensional maze." Gray said while looking around. "Its a labyrinth." I corrected him. "Same thing!" He shouted. "Is not!" I shot back.
"Get it together guys! We have to be one of the first 8 to arrive in Domus Flau!" Lucy shouted. "Right, sorry." We both apologized. "Yeah we have to beat those Sabertooth wizards to a pulp!" Natsu shouted. I've been trying to ignore the constant thoughts of Sting but its like the more I resist the worse and more frequent they get. I want it to stop because that annoying tiger has plagued my thoughts like crazy as well as my so called "sub conscious" thoughts about him.
