After Akai's long fit of giggles and Freed's sputters of embarrassment, Akai had finally noticed the other presences in the room. Apart from Laxus, Freed, Bickslow and Evergreen, there were three other people idly spread through out the room, watching Akai quietly in slight confusion.

A man with long scruffy black hair and buff figure, a petite white haired woman with beautiful blue eyes and another man who wore many layers of clothing and adorned multiple staffs and weapons on his back.

Akai turned to these stranger and gave them a simple smile,

"You guys must be my team mates, hi! I'm Akai Uzumaki! I hope we get along!"

Akai ended her introduction with a short and quick bow.

"Why aren't you ever that nice with us?~" sang evergreen as she stood beside a flustered Freed who clearly still hadn't gotten over his little moment of embarrassment.

"Yeah, Quit acting like so sweet " chimed Bickslow teasingly before tauntingly sticking out his younger childishly

Akai turns slightly red in the cheeks before turning to evergreen and Bickslow and yelling,

"Hey! I'm a freaking Angel I'll have you know! You guys are just too hard headed to see that!"

Bickslow and Evergreen tauntingly laugh, Laxus released a quiet chuckle and Freed gave a small smile.

Akai huffs and turns back to her new team mates and the White haired female offers a cute giggle before saying,

"So your the Akai Laxus spoke so highly of~ I'm Mirajane Strauss! It's a pleasure to meet you~"

The black hair man chuckles and states cockily,

"I'm Gajeel Redfox, I think we're gonna get along well pipsqueak"

Akai then turns to the mysterious man, waiting for his little greeting. He gazes at her for a moment,

"Mystogain..." He mumbles before turning to the window and gazing outside.

Akai sheepishly chuckles but quickly gets pulled out of it when Mirajane asks,

"So Akai, What's your magical ability?"

Akai goes to open her mouth but is quickly cut off when church bells echo throughout the entire building and city.

Akai directs her attention to the window, as does everyone else in the room, only to set their gazes upon a giant floating pumpkin. Akai is shocked, her mouth open and closes like a fish out of water. After all, she has never witnessed something so... Out of the ordinary... But then again, it is Fiore...

Akai was so lost in her own thoughts that it was only until she was thrown over Laxus' shoulder that she notices the large floating maze in the middle of the freaking city and that they were running up magical floating steps to get to it.

Freed, Evergreen and Bickslow's cheers slowly became distant as her team ran further towards the large magical maze,

"Come on kid! Don't loose you bearings yet! The game has barely begun!" yelled Laxus as they finally came to a grinding halt within the maze.
