"Annnnnnnnnnnnnd WELCOME! TO THIS YEAR'S GRAND MAGIC GAMES!" bellowed the commentator.
I winced at the volume of his stupid microphone. We were all standing in the arena as the commentator, Chapati, danced around enthusiastically while introducing the teams.
There was Lamia Scale, Mermaid Heel, Quatro Cerberus, Blue Pegasus, Sabertooth and us, Fairy Tail. The crowd seemed extra excited when Chapati introduced Sabertooth and Fairy Tail. My guess is that we had been the crowd favourites in the last games.
Up in different spectating balconies around the arena, the rest of the guild members were cheering as loud as humanly possible (and probably shattering the eardrums of those around them at the same time)...
"The first event this year will be a new type of battle. One randomly selected person from each team will then be sorted into two teams for the battle. Then the two teams will be placed in the battle area, in this case, the unoccupied town beside the stadium, to battle it out! If you're on the losing side, you only get 2 points each for your guild! However, if you're on the winning side, you will earn 5 points each!"
The crowd roared in anticipation.
"We have to team up with other guilds?!" Natsu grumbled, face falling in disappointment. Chapati cleared his throat.
"Alright! On Team 1 we have..." A holographic screen appeared high above our heads as it displayed three photos.
"...Sabertooth's Rogue Cheney, Blue Pegasus's Eve Tearm and Fairy Tail's Skie Dragneel!" Chapati squealed, causing me to slap me hand to my mouth to stop giggles escaping. When he squealed, he sounded like May (if May had swallowed a lot of helium).
Erza, being the party pooper she is, elbowed me in the ribs to shut me up. The stadium buzzed all around with excitement.
Chapati raised his voice. "On Team 2 we have..."
The screen above flashed and the images changed.
"...Mermaid Heel's Milliana, Quatro Cerberus's Rocker and Lamia Scale's Lyon Vastia! Those chosen, please gather in the town! Other wizards, please return to your spectator balconies," Chapati instructed, adjusting his wig.
"Good luck!" Lucy smiled, before hurrying after the rest of the team.
"Uh, thanks!" I replied nervously, edging towards the exit of the arena that was labelled 'Town'.
The other guild's wizards soon caught up with me, trying to ignore Milliana's non-stop babble about different types of cats.
I fell into step beside Rogue, him being the only other mage I actually knew, "So... Hi!"
He raised an eyebrow quizzically, "Hi... Is this your first time in the Games?"
I nodded, "Yep. You?"
"No, I've been in quite a few Games before this one..." Rogue replied airily.
"Hey! Look!" Eve shouted suddenly.
As we approached the entrance to the town, I saw the sign.
"Team 1 go left, Team 2 go right. Your battle has now begun." recited Lyon, eyeing the message. Just on cue, Chapati's voice boomed through a magical megaphone.
"Go!"
We all jumped, wished each other good luck and sprinted away in our designated directions.
Our route led us through several streets and parks.
"Stop here. We should think of a battle plan," Rogue said, grabbing both Eve and I by the collars of our shirts. Again with the whole 'pick up Skie by the shirt' thing?!
