"Levy, how do we get through here? And does this ball ever stop moving?" I cried, my face large and blue from motion sickness.

"First, we let Wendy cast Troia on us, and then we have to find one of the ten check points at which we can help destroy this stupid ball. I think that the goal of this is for teams to fall of the ball and get eliminated, and for the ten teams who find a check point, the first seven teams who get to the arena will participate, most likely following a long and weird path to get there like last year. Until then, let's eliminate competition and see if we can get any information from them."

We all nodded, as our sensitive hearing picked up on some cackling from another team.

"Twilight Ogre for the win! Who would have thought that this convenient map piece would be lying so close to us, eh boys?"

We all looked at each other, all running towards them, sheathing  our weapons. I coiled my whip around their necks, as Levy picked up the map piece, grinning victoriously.

"You guys are idiots! Why would you go around talking loudly about an item as important as this?" Levy scolded, her Midnight Blast gun tapping against her thigh.

Dumbstruck by her beauty, they all attempted to stutter an answer, not noticing Lisanna creep up behind them with her Twin Blades in their rock element. Prodding them lightly, she watched in amusement as they descended terrified to the ground a long way below. Noticing the speed that they were travelling at, her eyes widened as she hastily sent down a moss net under them to fall into, relaxing as they hit and it comfortably broke their fall. 

"Lisanna! That was dangerous! You shouldn't endanger people without knowing the risks," I said, shaking my head, as Lisanna puffed out her cheeks in response. Turning to Levy, I spoke, "What's up with the map then Levy? You got any idea how it will direct us to one of the destruction points?"

Levy had her eyebrows furrowed, Solid Script magic surrounding her as she attempted to analyse it. "This map is enchanted, it won't be alledgable unless we gather the other three pieces of the map, which I guess are with another three teams."

I nodded, as realisation dawned on the other two that we would have to battle or knock off other teams whilst trying to get the map, as we also had to try and stay on the ball.

Wendy waved her scythe above her head, causing me to duck warily as it came in close proximity to my head, yelling "Let's do this!"

----------------------------------------------

We had now gathered all four pieces, faced three ball air quakes and nearly fallen off at least five times, and Wendy nearly skewered a man as he mocked her by pulling on her pigtails, as well as Levy crying when someone called her a 'shrimp-like midget'.

"How long does this stupid road go on for!? We've been walking for at least two hours, got on two roller coasters, climbed up six walls and staircases and rolled down four stupid hills. I hate the designer of this road!" I complained.

"Calm down Lucy, the door is finally up ahead. See?" Levy grumbled.

Seeing a dark brown door, I squealed running towards it eagerly. Opening it, literal fire began shooting out of my ears as I yelled, "You've gotta be kidding me!"

The stupid designer had created an endless spiral staircase!

Wait till I got hold of him...

----------------------------------------

Panting heavily, I threw open what I hoped to be the final door, as the other three lagged behind me. Greeted by the sight of a large and open stadium, filled to the brim with spectators, I started dancing in joy that the whole ordeal of that stupid path was over. Sitting down, I waited for the announcer to begin telling us the order in which the teams from different guilds had come.

"Welcome to the third Grand Magic Games, folks!" The crowd roared in response. "In first place, we are graced with the presence of the all-mighty, all-powerful FAIRY TAIL GUILD!

Looking up, I saw a flash of silky red hair, a checkered scarf, a naked torso, a tanned and muscular arm and a red flowery dress.

Taking a deep breath, I listened to what the announcer said next.

"SABERTOOTH!"

"BLUE PEGASUS!"

"MERMAID HEEL!"

"LAMIA SCALE!"

"AND..... CATASTROPHE?"

Shocked, we all turned to one another. We were last?! It was just like three years ago, when Fairy Tail wandered in all happily and found out that they were last. And we wanted to show them up too! 

I guess the habits of idiots die hard.

Hearing our name, the stadium erupted in confused muttering too, not having heard of our newcomer guild, not expecting us to have beaten a crowd favourite of Quatro Puppy.

Instantly, I looked over at Natsu, to see him on alert as his eyes were fixed on me, stalking towards us as he grabbed my hand and whispered something into my ear as my eyes widened and Dancing Dawn fell out of my grip as I collapsed to the ground.

"Dracen."

-----------------------

Dun dun dun! Cliff-hanger! Thanks for reading, and what do you think Natsu said about Dracen? Tell me in the comments below, and please vote, share and add to your library! Disclaimer, I do not own Fairy Tail, all rights go to Hiro Mashima.
