"Normally I wouldn't be the one saying this but this is no time for sleeping.", Ceres stood in the doorframe to Sting's room. 

He sat up from his bed with a slight growl: "We have more than enough time till the games start...".

"No, we don't. We should be on our way right now actually.", she was intensively staring at him.

He smirked when he caught her staring: "See something you like?"

"Oh yes", her eyes sparkled. Sting had a smugly smile on his face and took a few steps torwards Ceres.

"Then, tell me..."

"You sure?", she was completely unware of what Sting wanted from her.

"Of course.", he backed her off against the wall.

"Okay, if you wanna know." she whispered.

"These curtains are adorable! I love the colour. I want those for my room at the guild hall!", she squealed being the autistic person she sometimes is.

"I didn't know you'd get so... excited... over curtains...", Sting said, scratching his head.

"There is a lot you don't know. And now put some damn clothes on, you lowkey stripper.", she puffed and walked out of the door. Rogue was outside, hiding his totally red eyes from all the laughing he just went through. He was still smirking.

"I'll wipe that smirk right of your face!", Sting rushed out, his balled fist held high. 

"I just enjoy the fact that she'd take some curtains over you. The show was quite amusing and I'm relieved that it took such an major turn. I could've been an awkward situation walking in on you two doing things.", Rogue retorted.

Ceres just stood there. She wasn't quiet sure what Rogue was talking about but there was no time to ask. They were already late for the games so they had to get going.

They arrived just in time at the arena. The game of the day was called "Pandemonium". The participants had to choose how many monsters they wanted to fight in a creepy looking castle.

 "Wanna play today, Minerva?", Ceres asked. 

"It's M'lady to you. And no, you can if you want.", she instantly scolded her.

"Well, why not. Since I've already fought I probably don't have to again. Not that it would matter.", once again she slid off the railings down into the arena. 

When all participants gathered, they received a number to mark the order in which they are going to play. Erza was number one and killed all 100 of the to be slain monsters herself. 

"So, after her defeating all of them, how are we proceeding?", Hibiki from Blue Pegasus asked.

"Now we are going to use the MPF, the Magical Power Finder.", the pumpkin-headed referee explained, "Erza is now instanlty ranked in first place. You're now fighting for the second place."

Ceres let out an annoyed huff, "I could've done this even faster."

"Everyone is going to attack this machine and it's going to measure the magic power in this attack.", he continued, "And we're still playing after the order we settled before."

So Ceres was the last one to attack, right after Cana from Fairy Tail B, since she got the number 8.

After the other five participants got their shots at it, it was Cana's turn. She spoke the Fairy Glitter spell and completely destroyed the MPF. The whole crowd was cheering. Sabertooth members were shocked. "Do you think Ceres can get a higher score?", Frosch asked Lector. "Of course she can!", he yelled at Frosch, "Come on, Ceres! You can do it!".

"Of course I can. But the highest score to reach is 9999. What happens when I achieve the same score?", she was interrupted in her thoughts by the referee.

"Ceres, it's your turn.", he said.

"I know.", she took a few steps back.

"Frostfire Dragon's Twin Fang!", Ceres crossed her hands and released a huge amount of blue fire right at the new MPF, shattering it to pieces.

"Another 9999 points score?!", Cana was perplexed and upset at the same time. 

"Looks like we have a draw!", Chapati commentated, "And that means we have a sudden death match coming up."

"We are going to set your endurance to the lowest so the next attacks finishes the opponent of instantly.", the referee exemplifyed.

"Ceres got this easily. After all she didn't even use a scrath of her true power. And Cana got her power temporarely from her master. This is gonna be easy.", Sting said with full trust in Ceres.

"A sudden death with her?!", Zeus and Zelus' hearts dropped into their guts. "Cana just got this temporarely and Ceres ain't gonna miss her attacks!", Aether was about to get unconscious.

"This is bad.", Cana said to herself, feeling her endurance and power fading.

"Long time I've ever felt this powerless.", Ceres chuckled.

"Don't think I'm going easy on you!", Cana pulled out her cards and striking a confident pose.

"You really think you can beat me with this measely power of yours?", Ceres dodged her attack when her laugh started to get little by little louder. "There is no way you could even beat me when you have the fully power you usually have"

"This is too easy!", then she started to loose it. She just stood there, laughing like a complete maniac.

Cana huffed and readied her next attack. "Don't think so, honey.", Ceres cut through the cards in her hand with a grin spread all over her face.

"Too bad you're only able to survive one attack so I'ma make this quick. Not painless. But quick.", she was ready for her own attack to hit directly.

"Frostfire Dragon's Corrupted Roar!"

"Something's wrong about that breath-attack. It's infused with green streaks?", Zeus examinated the weird attack.

It kicked Cana full force into the wall behind her. She was coughing heavily. Erza rushed in for help.

"What have you done to her?", she looked at her with fierce eyes.

"My Frostfire Magic is infused with Corrupted Magic, hence my attacks being mixed with poison if I want to.", she retorted with an self-assured tone in her condescending voice.

"The fuck? Where did she obtain that power?!", Zeus gasped a bit, "Where do you get such Lost Magic?"

Ceres took a minor glancec at Zeus but then returned her gaze to Sting who was laughing his ass off.

The games continued normally after Cana got taken to the infirmary.
