Forgive But NEVER Forget

3rd Person Point Of View

3rd Person POV

As the golden light enveloped Lucy, Lucy lost control of her body and it started to lead everyone behind her. Lucy's mind was in a trance-like state, unable to see or hear anything. Her body just became a navigation tool. Erza stayed to the right of Lucy, Gray was on her left, Elfman and Natsu were covering her back. Due to Lucy's speed enchantment, everyone was able to outrun many of the other members.

Suddenly, five members of Twilight Ogre started to follow them. This wasn't missed by Natsu and he said, "You guys go without me, I need to get rid of these guys first."

"But how will you find us," Gray questioned.

"Dragon sense, remember? I'll just smell out Lucy's scent and catch up to you guys."

Gray nodded and Natsu stopped in his tracks and waited for Twilight Ogre to show themselves.

Five guys stopped when they saw Natsu waiting for them. "Following us, eh? Well, I can't let that happen."

A young man of average height with poofy dark hair said, "It's only one person, guys lets show this Fairy trash where he belongs! The name is Thibault, remember it, because you'll be butchered by me!"

"Fire Dragon's Sword Horn!" Natsu engulfed his entire body in flames and then propelled himself against Thibault at a high speed, hitting him with a powerful headbutt.

Thibault fell unconscious and Natsu said, "Anyone else wants some?"

The other members took a step back. When Natsu lit his hand on fire, the members ran off into a full sprint.

Natsu smelled the air to catch Lucy's strawberry vanilla scent. Natsu mumbled to himself, "I wish I wasn't such an idiot." He followed her scent and caught up with everyone else.

The group continued on and defeated other guilds that tried to get in their way. About 15 minutes had passed since Lucy started the Navigation Spell. The group reached a door that read, "Goal!"

The light that Lucy's body was enveloped in, diminished and Lucy gained consciousness. Lucy stood there, surprised that she was still conscious.

As they all stood in front of the door, the pumpkin man's hologram appeared and said, "Elfman Strauss, Gray Fullbuster, Erza Scarlet, Lucy Heartfilia, and Natsu Dragneel, congratulations on passing the Sky Labyrinth. Your team is tied in first place with Sabertooth. Both teams have reached the goal at the same time!"

"That's impossible! There's no way another team got to the goal at the same time we did," Gray complained, "How?!"

"You think that's impossible?! There's a floating maze, shaped like a sphere, on top of the city. But if you don't believe me, we could always put you in second place," the Pumpkin man replied.

Erza elbowed Gray and said, "Apologizes, sir. We are happy with the current placement."

"Good! As you all have finished the challenge, you will be teleported back to your inn. Good Luck with the rest of the Games!"

The group was teleported back to their inn.

"Lucy you were such a man for leading us there," Elfman said smacking Lucy on the back. Lucy fell on her butt.

Erza, Natsu, and Gray glared at Elfman, who was trying to help Lucy up.

"My bad, Lucy."

Lucy replied, "It's fine. The spell just made me weaker. But we're not done just yet. We still need to find out about Wendy and Carla."

"They're in the infirmary," they turned their heads towards the door to find Lissana and Happy standing there.

Lucy sighed and said, "That's a relief. Do you know what happened to them? Do you know why their magic was so low?"

"From what Porlyusica said, she believes that both of them were attacked and their magic power was drained out of them. They are still unconcious right now."
