I'm a little disappointed with this chapter but i cant think of anything else to add to it. oh well, hope you all enjoy it anyway

When Lucy woke next it was to the sound of a roaring crowd. Rubbing the sleep from her eyes, Lucy groggily raised her head as she tried to recall exactly where she was. After seeing the plain white sheets and smelling the lingering scent of antiseptics, Lucy remembered that she had fallen asleep in the infirmary with Alva and that the two of them must have simply stayed overnight.

Speaking of Alva, said half dragon was still sleeping peacefully with her arms locked around Lucy's waist. She had an almost smug smile on her face, a face that was looking a lot less pale after a good night sleep. She was still lost in her dreams based off the fact that Lucy could see her eyes darting around behind closed eyelids.

Lucy smiled to herself as she patted the half dragon on the head, earring a satisfied hum from the red head, before trying to get out of the bed. However, Alva had other plans apparently, her arms remaining locked around Lucy to the point that if she tried to stand up Lucy would have probably pulled Alva right up with her like some kind of strange hand bag.

"Alva...common, the games have already started. We're gonna miss it." Lucy whined as she continued to pet Alva on the head, causing her to slowly raise her head and stare at Lucy with slowly blinking eyes.

"...Do we have to...it's not like we'll lose to anyone." Alva huffed as she reluctantly released Lucy from her grasp.

Lucy giggled as she stood up, adjusting her cloak and hood so that her face was covered once again. "Maybe so, but it's still only right to support our family when they're fighting."

Alva only moaned in response as she too rose from the bed, clearly not really that interested in getting up yet. The two walked out of their assigned infirmary and out onto the balcony, where the rest of their guild except for Abaddon and Lilith was already waiting.

"Good morning Miss Celetias, Alva, Did you have a good night sleep?" Frederick questioned with a respectful bow.

"As good as I could get on a stiff hospital bed with a dragon trying to crush me." Lucy commented playfully as she accepted a breakfast pastry from the seemingly always prepared armored man. "So the games already began? What exactly did we miss?" she asked as she leaned forward to see a massive evil looking building standing in the center of the arena, the sounds of combat echoing from within.

"The game today is known as pandemonium, a game about defeating demons in order to earn points. Each combatant determines how many monsters they wish to fight, earring points for each one they defeat." Frederick explained as he handed Alva her own breakfast, a massive piece of steak that almost looked to raw to eat safely.

"So I'm guessing by the fact that I don't see Lilith anywhere that she's the one we sent in?"

"Correct, she said something about wanting to redeem herself in your eyes and ran off before we could discuss who to send in." Roland explained from the wall he was leaning against.

"She just probably wanted to avoid having to be punished again." Lucy dismissed with a wave of her hand. "So then how exactly are we doing? Is Lilith racking in all the points?"

Frederick grimaced slightly before answering. "Actually, Fairy Tail's Erza Scarlet was the first chosen to fight, and well..." but whatever else she was going to say was lost in the roar of the crowd.

Lucy turned back to the field to see Erza attacking more monsters than could fit on the Lacrima screen at one time. She moved so fast and requiped with such speed that even Lucy was shocked to the point that her mouth simply hung open.
