 Now back to the story . . .

"They're getting married!?!" Erza was stunned by the news.

"That's what they said." Mira forced a smile. "But I think they said that just to catch me off guard. And it worked."

The Fairy Tail S-Class wizards and the participants who had been defeated were gathered at the base camp, Mira and Lisanna cooking for everyone. The defeated were, of course, upset and sulking. However, one particular person was more depressed than the rest.

Levy say at the table with the rest of her guildmates, but from the corner of her eye, she could see Gajeel sitting far away from the table. The Iron Dragon Slayer was next to the wilderness, sitting up against a tree. His eyes were closed, but his head was hung in shame and defeat.

I couldn't beat her. Gajeel sat there, lost in his own thoughts. I lost to her twice. Why can't I beat Jasmine? Am I really that weak? I'm Black Steel Gajeel; there's no way I should be losing to her!He balled his hands up into fist and his jaw clenched in . . . . anger? Or was the emotion sadness? Or maybe self-pity? He opened his eyes and glanced to his right, towards the large table where the Fairy Tail mages were. His eyes locked on Jasmine. She was staring straight ahead, not looking at him, with a cup in her right hand. He saw her jaw clench several times. It appears that she was lost in thought as well.

"C'mon, Gajeel." Mira called once the food was done. "Eat." She gave him a soft smile, sensing that he wasn't in the best mood. Gajeel slowly stood to his feet, not really wanting to move, when the island shook.

"What was that?" Juvia asked, slightly panicked.

"We're probably under attack." Jasmine stated calmly.

"Why do you say that, Jasmine?" Freed asked.

"I can sense people arriving on the island." She spoke, "In vast numbers as well."

"She's right." Gildarts agreed, "And there's a group headed straight for us.

In that moment, an army of mask covered men arrived at base camp, surrounding you. The mages immediately stood to their feet, glancing around at the intruders.

"That insignia . . ." Erza gasped.

"Grimoire Heart." Mira confirmed.

"Erza, warn Master and the others of an enemy attack." Jasmine instructed.

"Right." Erza nodded, releasing a red signal flare into the air.

The battle between Fairy Tail and Grimoire Heart begins.

 "Lisanna and I can handle this. The rest of you should go and find our other members. Make sure they're okay."

"This us such a pain." Jasmine groaned, remembering Mirajane's earlier words. She walked alone through the woods, growing bored and wanting to go home. "I haven't even met anyone of decent strength."

"Then perhaps I could grant your wish."

Jasmine stopped walking, but didn't look behind her. She knew that whoever it was that had snuck up on her was behind her. There was no reason for her to turn around.
