How The Fairy Met The Tiger (Rogue Cheney x OC)

Day Two Pt 1

"It's day two of the grand magic games and the stands are exploding with excitement!" The announcer exclaimed. "The competition is already underway, Chariot!" He chimed in once more.

"Why did Natsu sign up for this?!" Gray exclaimed as he looked at the fire dragon slayer with shocked eyes. "You'd think he would be able to tell what kind of event it was by the name chariot!" Lucy exclaimed with a hint of worry in her voice. The ice maker mage and the celestial mage both turned their heads in the direction of the celestial dragon slayer, who looked like she was feeling a little motion sick herself despite being on solid ground. "Hey Jace, are you okay? You look a little sick." Lucy asked as Erza placed a hand on her shoulder to steady her. "Me? Yeah i'm fin-" Jace couldn't finish her sentence without gagging at the thought of a moving vehicle.

"You know how Natsu is, once he's made up his mind on something you can't really change it." Erza said, responding to Lucy's earlier worry. "He probably thought he was going to be fighting the chariots themselves." Elfman added, sighing. "Oh my! In the rear of the competition is a groggy looking Natsu from Fairy Tail A, But that's not all right in front of him is Gajeel from Fairy Tail B and even Sting from Sabertooth, all moving slower than a snail. "W-What the hell is wrong with me?!" Gajeel screeched from inside the arena, the noise easily reaching Jace's ears as she chuckled with sympathy at the iron dragon slayer. "So what is happening here Mr. Yajima?" Chapati asked his partner. "I suppose the three of them share a common trait." Yajima sighed in realization.

"Motion sickness." Gajeel groaned in pain. "But that's Salamander and Star Shooter's thing..." He trailed off before Meanwhile the rest of the participants raced for first place. Next thing Jace knew she saw a few chariots destroyed as Quatro Cerberus was announced to have taken first place. Soon after the rest of the spots were being filled with Raven Tail in second, Mermaid Heel in third, Lamia Scale in forth, Blue Pegasus in Fifth, leaving the dragon slayers in last place to battle for the last few spots. "I've never had any problem with transportation before..." Gajeel groaned again, causing Sting to butt in. "Well, I've finally gotten used to it, congratulations to the-" Sting gagged. "Real dragon slayer, newbie." Sting smirked. "Why you!" Gajeel screeched as the shoulder checked both Natsu and Sting, only for it to not work at all and completely embarrass him. "I-I can't muster any strength." Gajeel stammered.

Across the field a pair of crimson eyes stared at their partner and their idol while fighting the nauseous feeling in the pit of their stomach. "Is this a common affliction amongst your kind Rogue?" Rufus asked, prompting the dragon slayer to glance over at the Fairy Tail A balcony. Upon seeing the brunette holding her hand over her mouth while holding her stomach with her other hand, Rogue quickly brought his attention back to his own guildmates as he quickly replied. "It would appear that all dragon slayers get motion sickness..." Rogue trailed off. "I'm glad it's not me down there." Rogue thought to himself before glancing over at the female dragon slayer once more. "At least I don't have it as bad as her." He thought, before his stomach made him think otherwise as a strong wave on nausea hit him, causing him to clamp his hand over his stomach and hold it there while forcing himself to continue watching, unknowingly earning himself an emerald colored glance from a fairy.

Seeing the way Rogue reacted and how she was feeling, Jace couldn't help but wonder in the other dragon slayers with lacrimas had the same reactions as the ones without, meaning Laxus probably had motion sickness too. "Maybe I should casually show up on the same train as the thunder legion one of these days to test my theory." Jace chuckled evilly before another wave of nausea hit her.

"Move... Forward!" Natsu finally spoke, having broken though his own nausea just enough to finally speak and move, even if it was little by little and in broken sentences. With Gajeel not far behind, Natsu passed Sting and remained ahead of the iron dragon slayer, somehow earning the title of lame from Sting. "You're totally serious, even if you can't draw any power." Sting laughed. "I'll let you win this round, after all we're gonna keep winning anyway so we're not gonna miss one or two points." Sting stated smugly. "Don't cry about that one point later kid!" Gajeel smirked before going bad to racing Natsu.

"Answer me this, why did you decide to participate in the tournament?" Sting looked anxious as the question left his mouth. "I wouldn't believe you were the same Fairy Tail from back in the day. Are you worried about the strength of your guild? About your public image? The Fairy Tail that I know wouldn't give a damn about what people thought of them." Sting bitterly stated before Natsu started to struggle to get the words out, not because he couldn't find the right ones to use, but because he was concentrated on winning and not throwing up in the process. "It's for our friends." The fire dragon slayer started, earning a shocked look from everyone. "Seven years, all that time they were waitin' for us." He paused to steady his breathing. "No matter how painful it was, no matter how sad, even if people made fun of 'em." This time Natsu paused to find his breath. "They held on... They held on, they protected the guild for their friends, and now we're gonna show everyone..." Natsu gathered all his strength. "The proof that Fairy Tail's been walking on all this time! So i'm gonna keep on goin'!" Natsu screamed, causing the entire guild to burst into tears.

Jace felt tears prick at the corners of her eyes before she quickly wiped them away, Watching closely as Natsu finally reached the finish line with Gajeel not far behind him. "He did it! Natsu of Fairy Tail A earns 2 points for 6th place!" Chapati exclaimed. "I got our first points!" Natsu tiredly exclaimed as Gajeel stumbled across the finish line, earning team B 1 point for 7th place. "Fairy Tail, huh? Maybe i'll cheer for them after all." Someone in the stands sniffed, Natsu's speech having touched them before the rest of the crowd started clapping loudly and cheering for Fairy Tail, A and B. 

Once the cheers for Fairy Tail died down a little is when Jace dashed to the nearest bathroom since her stomach still hadn't died down. The celestial dragon slayer kept her hand over her mouth as she held her stomach and looked at the ground as she walked, unfortunately this caused her to run into someone. "I'm sorry!" She exclaimed as she whipped her head up quickly, causing her to trip on a loose stone and stumble forward, only closing her eyes and bracing for the fall and embarrassment that came with it. But it never came, Jace felt two hands grab her shoulders and place her upright before a familiar voice rang through her ears. "Be careful, this hall is full of loose stones." Rogue griped at her before walking right past her to Sting, who had witnessed the whole thing. Before anyone could say anything Natsu came stumbling through, the fire dragon slayer calling out for Jace to help him moments later before she rushed to his side and took him to the infirmary so he could rest. 

~Rogue POV~

Oddly enough, the moment Jace wrapped Natsu's arm around her shoulders, Rogue couldn't help but notice a strong feeling in his stomach, the feeling made him want to punch Natsu but since he was the enemy Rogue thought it was normal, even though the thought didn't occur to him until Jace rushed to his side. "So... did I look cool?" Sting asked with hope in his eyes. "I've never seen something so lame before." Was the only response the blonde got before his partner walked back in the direction of their guilds balcony.  Sting thought more about what Natsu had said during the game, the words echoing in the back of his mind almost as if to torment him. "For their friends huh?" He scowled. "What nonsense."

As Natsu lied in the infirmary bed, practically dying due to the after effects of his big win. "Is Natsu going to be okay?" Lucy asked, having met Jace halfway in the hall. "There's nothing to worry about, it's just his motion sickness." Porlyusica said quickly, putting the blondes worries at ease. "What about Wendy?" Jace quickly added, earning an annoyed but understanding look from the pink haired healer. "She's made quite a lot of progress." Those words caused Jace to let out a breath she didn't realize she was holding. "And how are you doing Carla?" Lucy added quickly, noting the exceed's strange stare. "I'm fine now, thank you." Carla quickly said. "Thank goodness!" Lucy exclaimed. "Well everyone is waiting, so i'll be going and i'll check in later! Jace, you coming?" Lucy asked the celestial dragon slayer, getting a simple "Yeah." in response before Jace was right at her side and right at her side.
