The Dragon Father

What Have You Done?

"DAY 5 OF THE GRAND MAGIC GAMES HAS BEGUUUNNNN!" the announcer yelled as fireworks exploded in the sky.

The cheer that erupted from the stands was much less enthusiastic. Acnologia grabbed the lacrima and put it to his ear.

"Any sign?" he asked.

"No, the dragon slayers haven't left the bar," Freed's voice came through. Freed stood outside the bar and tested the runes one last time, "No breaches. They're still inside."

"Good," Acnologia sighed taking a relieved sigh. He hadn't been able to sleep last night, his thoughts haunting him with visions of the fifth generation dragon slayers.

"And here come the teams preparing for the free for all!" the announcer cried.

The fifth day of the Grand Magic Games was just like it had been last time Fairy Tail participated. It was going to be a free-for-all in the city. The teams took the field at all sides, but two teams didn't. All of the dragon's teeth members save Frexis and Quill entered the field and looked around expectantly.

"Where are they?" Lisanna asked, studying the screen.

"For some reason, Fairy Tail and Sabertooth haven't taken the field...Uh... Oh, here comes the Fairy Tail team!" the announcer cried.

The team took the field and everyone's eyes became filled with horror.

"Oh no," Cana whispered.

"Shit," Acnologia hissed picking up the lacrima again, "FREED!?"

Freed, who was watching the game on a lacrima looked back to the bar which was out of the game's radius. He ran up to the runes and studied them carefully, "I don't understand... they aren't broken... they're just fine!" Freed yelled into the lacrima. He tapped a rune.

"Happy! Charle! PantherLily! Lector! Frosch! What's going on in there?" Freed yelled into the protected bar.

"NATSU!" Happy yelled flying madly threw the house, "NATSU WHERE'D YOU GO!?"

"Wendy!" Charle cried madly running around in her human form, "Wendy child where are you!"

"Gajeel?" Pantherlily asked opening a door. Nothing, "Erik and Laxus are gone too," he called.

"I can't find Sting-Kun!" Lector cried flying in circles.

"Rogue!" Frosch laughed running about, "Where are you hiding?"

"Freed, we can't find them!" Charle cried.

"We let them out of our sights for two seconds... I don't understand!" Pantherlily growled throwing another door open.

"I don't know how they could have gotten out," Freed gasped.

"Well..." Acnologia gritted watching the screen, "Explain this to me then!"

Laxus, Erik, Natsu, Gajeel, and Wendy stood as the Fairy Tail team looking over the field with fiery eyes.

"But where is the Sabertooth Team?" The announcer questioned.

"Where are those two!?" Minerva sighed looking back for her comrades.

"Should we go?" Dobengal asked.

"I wish Rufus was here, he would have remembered to be on time," Minerva sighed.

"Yeah... but he's in the hospital alongside Yukino," Orga growled.

"An act Dragon Teeth will pay for," Minerva stated darkly.

From the tunnel behind them came clapping, slow, constant clapping.
