Disclaimer: Hey guys! Firestorm40 here with a new chapter for you all. As I said before, this chapter will have the Naval Battle going. Also, I want to say thanks to all those you commented and voted on this story. So without further ado, Enjoy!

------------------------

With Fairy Tail!

"Cheers!" All the Fairy Tail mages exclaimed happily. Following their successful third day in the Games, they all all gather at a bar in Crocus to celebrate. Everyone was either talking, eating or drinking to their hearts content.

"Hey Sora!" Natsu called over to his brother. "You know what this calls for?" 

Sora smirked. "Oh, big time!"

Soon, both dragon slayers then began to start a barrel surfing game while yelling "Barrel Surfing!" 

"Aye sir!/Roger that!" Happy and Lucas said respectively. 

"Watch it guys!" Max yelled as he got of the way to avoid being ran over.

Natsu crashed into Gajeel, who was asleep while Sora crashed into a table and was sent flying across the room laughing. 

Watching the dragon slayer sent flying, Lexi turned towards her Lucy as she couldn't restrain the giggle seeing him disappear. "You're dating a real goofball, you know that?"

"Yeah, but he is my goofball." Lucy smiled as she watched Sora hop back up and dust himself off.

Despite the barrel surfing ruining the bar, everyone ends up joining in on as well and continued to party hard.

-----------------------

However, as Fairy Tail celebrates, others around Crocus think about their own issues, Sting from Sabertooth confiding Lector in that he believes he will be fighting Natsu and Sora the following day, for which he is excited. In the shower, Kagura contemplates the meaning of Jellal being in Fairy Tail, whilst from the balcony outside, Millianna wonders the same thing. When Risley tries to get her to speak about her troubles, Millianna states that there is nothing wrong, though tells Risley that they must try their hardest to win the Grand Magic Games for their guild. The man on the two women's mind, Jellal, also thinks alone, walking through the streets as he remembers his identity being revealed earlier that day. All the while, in Mercurius, Yukino reports to her commander, addressing herself as "Sergeant".

We've almost reached that day. Only 4 days left until...Calamity.

-------------------------

The next day

"Welcome back everyone to the now fourth day of this year's magic games."Chapati, the infamous announcer with weird set of wig on his head said loudly as the excited crowd of people within the Domus Flau cheered out loudly"Today's guest commentator up here with me and Yajima is Rabian a leader of a famous theater group right here in Crocus."

"Thank you very much for having me. " the man said with a smile "It looks really fun." Awaiting in the middle of the field, floating a few feet above the ground was a giant sphere of water, no doubt it would be the mysterious game of the Fourth day.

"It's a sunny day for magic and mayhem as we start off the day with an event called – Naval Battle! That's right spectators; get ready for a battle under the sea! The battle field is a large sphere of water. The rule is simple, if you get knocked outside the ball you lose until the last one standing wins. But there is a special rule, when the last two competitors remain, a clock will appear and if you get eliminated within the five minute limit you get moved to the back of the line in eighth place! However, if no one is eliminated within the five minutes the rank will return back to normal with the one eliminated coming in second place." The commentator finished explaining the rules of Naval Battle.

With this kind of game, it was a man's wildest fantasy come true. However, it was a huge letdown for them because Quatro Puppy would have to pick a male for the sport, since their team consisted of males only, so they wasn't the fan favorite amongst the guilds entering the event.

"I'll be going guys." Lucy said confidently while keeping her eyes on the water sphere. She had let down her team on the first day and wanted nothing more than to redeem herself by doing better in this event.

"Go get them Lucy!" Natsu grinned at his teammate from the Fairy Tail A stand along with Wendy, Gray, Erza and Sora.

"If she uses Aquarius she can take them out all at once," commented Gray with a small smirk.

"I don't think so" Erza Scarlet shook her head at Gray's idea, glancing to Team B's stand where its members were discussing among each other "It's clear that Juvia is going to be the participant for Team B, and you all know how well she is in water."

"Now I feel my chance of winning is getting thin." Lucy laughed nervously, but Sora put a hand on her shoulder comfortingly.

"Take a deep breath Luce, you're going to be fine." Sora smiled at his girlfriend. "Fight hard and do your best. And if it'll make you feel better, I'm going to be cheering louder than anyone in the guild." 

Lucy looked at him for a second before nodding her head with a smile, feeling a lot more confident when she got Sora to encourage her. She then leaned up and gave him a peck on the lips.

"Thanks Sora, I will try my best!" Lucy said before heading down to the stadium. Mermaid Heel sent out Risley, Lamia Scale had Chelia participate in the game, from Quatro Puppy was Rocker who immediately received boos and angry cry from the crowds.

"Here come the tiger." Sora muttered when Minerva, Yukino's replacement confidently stepped into water sphere, wearing a rather blank swimsuit but it didn't make the crowd less excited.

DONG

The bell rang. "Let the event, Naval Battle, begin!" The commentator declared the start of the match. It didn't surprise Fairy Tail that Lucy would summon Aquarius first.

Enraged by seeing people in her so-called 'domain,' she shot a whirlpool out of her vase and sending everyone except Juvia and Minerva spiraling around the gust of water.

"You're not the only one who controls water," Juvia said with a smile before pushing her hands outwards, creating a blue magic circle and firing her Water Cyclone, a whirlpool of her own against Aquarius's one. The two water blasts collided with each other the two appeared to be matched on terms of magic power.

"We're even?" Aquarius was quite shock to see a mage managed to match her in term of water magic.

"This is the perfect time to... send the singe one out!" While witnessing the two water users too busy to go after anyone else, Jenny used the chance to eliminate Rocker whilst the other woman begin to utilize their Magic to force each other out.

"Quatro Puppy has dropped out!" The commentator announced with heart in his eyes. The other members of Quatro Bitches whitened out at their early elimination.

They've been dropping throughout the games and winning this event brought hope they could climb up the scoreboards, but the hope was shot down.

"While she's doing that..." Chelia was next to make an attack by creating tornados around her arms and upper cutting Risley from her sides, but the mermaid used her own form of gravity manipulation to thin out her flabby one into a more skinny one, just evading the attack

"Never underestimate the chubby" Risley smiled as she successfully avoided the attack.

Back with Juvia and Aquarius, it was still a draw as the two made no progress to win the tug of war.

"This isn't going to end well, so I'm going to return now." Aquarius suddenly lost her patience.

"Eh!? Why? You're the best in water, I have to depend on you!" Lucy said in shock.

"I have a date" The real mermaid said with a small blush on her face before closing the gate by herself, once again Aquarius had rubbed it in Lucy's face just to annoy her. Lucy began to panic and scratched the back of her head.

"You're open!" Juvia said emotionlessly and shot forward, hitting Lucy with a strong Water Cyclone attack to eliminate Lucy. She however, swam upwards and brought out two keys and summoned Aries and Virgo just in time to save her.

The Water Cyclone had pursued Lucy upwards and was stopped by Aries wool wall and Virgo's strength.

Men all around the arena turned their eyes into hearts, falling in love with the sight of Lucy's two spirits that were only wearing bikinis.

"I'll throw both of them all out at once." Juvia said confidently "There is nobody who can win against Juvia in the water." Juvia decided to use her trump card – unleash her Second Origin "The unleashing of second origin is a unique spell I acquired..." it was a new spell she named Wings of Heart, a large whirlwind mixed with pink hearts on the water current and sucking in Chelia, Jenny and Risley in it and then pushing them all out of the sphere at once.

Minerva managed to direct the whirlpool away from her using her territory magic while Lucy barely hung on to Aries who was protecting her with a wool wall and Virgo pushing Lucy forward to prevent her from being caught in the heavy gust. The whirlpool continued for a while before stopping as Juvia spread her arms out to take in the glory.

"Cool" Sora, Erza and Natsu were the ones who said it. To be able to create pink hearts with magic, it wasn't something one could take lightly.

"QUIT IT!" Gray, meanwhile was quite frustrated by such name.

"Juvia's strength underwater is truly unrivalled!" Chapati said and the former Wizard Saint Yazima couldn't agree more.

Happy with herself, Juvia turns to see Gray's reaction, however, upon seeing him appalled by the stunt she pulled, Juvia quickly becomes depressed. Before she can move to do anything else however, the Water Mage suddenly finds herself outside of the sphere, falling to the ground and receiving third place whilst her team berates her for losing focus.

"Huh?" Chapati asked in surprise "What just happened?"

"I believe..." Minerva suddenly spoke up, her hands covered in rainbow aura "that was my handiwork." Now there was only Lucy and Minerva and the five minute countdown started.

"The miss is quite the devil, isn't she?" Sting asked with a small smirk on his face

"Certainly." Rufus agreed.

"With her magical power, she could have easily thrown them all out." Orga scolded slightly, he wanted Minerva to throw them all out "She is already won."

"I see," Sora narrowed his eyes, deep in thought "It all makes sense now" so that was how she was managed to block his and Natsu's Unison Raid, by transferring the force of the attack away before it could reach her or her father.

"With my magical power, I could throw you out of the water in a flash, however..." Minerva stated confidently "That wouldn't be very satisfying." She raised her hand, coating in the same aura of magic "Let's see how long you last, Fairy Tail." A sizeable orb of something suddenly appeared behind Lucy, drawing the blonde's girl attention toward it before it exploded, causing the celestial mage to yell out in pain.

"Lucy!" Sora shouted.

"Heat?" Erza asked in shock "Under the water?"

"What the hell kind of magic is that?" Gajeel asked.

"I've never seen anything like it before," Mira said, "Let's hope Lucy can do something about them soon."

The blonde reached for her Celestial Keys but found nothing there. Everyone was surprised as well to see that her Keys were gone from along with her pouch and belt.

"Looking for this?" Minerva then raised her hand revealing that she was the one who had the Celestial Keys in her hand, her face as impassive as ever.

"Wait...how did she get hold of the Celestial Keys?" Natsu cried out in shock. Lucy was then hit again, waving her arms around to keep herself in the bubble. However, before her back could get anywhere near the surface, something suddenly exploded behind Lucy, stopping her from falling out.

"Lucy..." Lucas muttered worriedly.

"She cannot use her magic with her keys stolen." Kiki stated.

"I'll..." Lucy cried out as the clock started clicking down to less than two minutes "I'll show I can take any of her attacks!" Lucy used both of her arms to cover her face, shielding herself away from the continuously explosions. 

"It's about time I send you flying outside." Minerva spoke up finally.

"If I lose here," Lucy said as her bangs shadowed her eyes "I won't be able to face everyone who tried so hard...!" she looked up, light still shone in her eyes "I won't betray everyone's emotions, that's why I'll never give up."

Minerva's attack stopped for a few seconds, making everyone think that she was touched by Lucy's fighting spirit. However, before any of them could breath out a sigh of relief, a cruel smile suddenly appeared on Minerva face as she launched a large blast of power straight toward Lucy causing the girl to scream out in pain.

"LUCY!" Sora cried out with his hands gritting the balcony tightly that they begin to melt.

Minerva started to hammer down upon Lucy without any signs of stopping, causing the blonde to continue to get knocked around. Just when Lucy was about to fall out of the orb of water, the blonde suddenly disappeared from sight before reappearing right before Minerva who had launched a kick at her back.

"DAMN IT," Natsu cried out, startling the group that was standing around him, "STOP THIS MATCH RIGHT NOW!"

"STOP!" Gray and the rest of Fairy Tail joined after their friends, screaming for the referee to stop the fight as Lucy got beaten around mercilessly.

Sabertooth were sending mocking grin at Fairy Tail's Teams, with their mistress was laughing in satisfaction as Lucy's body started limping away. Mato had no chance but raise his hand, stopping the fight before it could get worse.

And Sora only waited for that.

Before Minerva could celebrate her victory, she was knocked away from the water sphere with an unimaginable amount of force. The whole orb of water exploded the moment after, splashing the water onto the crowd and the other teams and guilds.

When everything was clear, no one could say a word or pick their jaw up from the ground at the sight of Sora standing on mid-air like he was standing on solid ground. His body was surrounded in pure raw golden magic like fire. But the most shocking was everyone thought they saw a  silhouette of a golden dragon.

Sora was carrying Lucy in his hands, her body soaked with blood and covered in extremely serious wounds. If the battle continued for a second longer, Lucy would be dead by now.

"S-Sora..." the girl muttered weakly as she looked at him with half-lifted eyes.

"It's over Luce." He said softly and channeled his Angel magic into her body, wrapping her damaged form in a soft white cloak of energy, boosting her healing factor to the extreme level, making her wounds disappear from her body and replaced with healthy skins, not even scars were left there "Rest, you had done a wonderful job out there." His foot gently touched down to the ground, the same time the last wound disappeared from her body. Lucy breathed out a sigh in relief when she could no longer feel pain.

The first tear then felt from Lucy's eyes, before being followed by another after another and the next moment, Lucy found herself crying into Sora's chest. She had failed them again. "I-I'm so sorry!"

Sora held her head close to his chest, letting herself pour her heart out.

"You...bitch." Sora said with a cold and emotionless tone as he looked up and fixed his eyes on Minerva, who was looking at him with her eyes wide in shock. 

The rest of Sabertooth Team appeared and gathered in front of their mistress protectively. They were a bit nervous by his power, but wasn't going to let Sora attack the daughter of their master either. Natsu, Gray and Erza did the same to Sora and Lucy, as both side stared at each other in the eyes, the atmosphere became extremely tense, as if someone could cut it with a knife.

The whole stadium became extremely quiet, no one dared to say a word even Chapati the announcer.

Much to everyone's surprise, Sora suddenly turned around and walked away.

"Let's go, guys." He said curtly, with a tone that not even Natsu would try to retort, even though he wanted nothing more than to beat every single one of them for what Minerva had done to Lucy

"Isn't so cocky now, aren't you?" Minerva snickered slightly at that.

"I don't care if you're the strongest or number one in Fiore..." Sora said while walking away, the magic around his body disappeared, returning him to his original state "But try to do something like this again, and I will make sure you regret your very own existence... Sabertooth."

"You have made enemies of the worse guild to anger..." Was Erza's words for them before team Fairy Tail disappeared inside.

---------------------------

"Is Lucy okay?"

"Don't worry, she'll be fine" Sora answered Mira's question when Team B ran into the infirmary. He healed all of her wounds and she should feel even better than usual, but the others thought it would be best if they move Lucy into the infirmary so that she could rest. He sat by her side, holding her hand.

"Thanks to Sora...her life isn't in danger." Porlyusica informed them slowly "Those injures could be fatal if they weren't treated immediately."

"Hard to not do anything." Was his reply.

Natsu hissed with his fist gritted tightly "Those bastards back there..."

Gray nodded, eyes still stormy with anger, "I hear ya...I ain't been this pissed off in a long time."

"You rest for now Luce!" Sora then said with his fist hit against his chest "I'm going to kick their asses so hard that they're not going to remember their name."

Lucy, who remained silent from the moment she was moved into the infirmary, couldn't help but smile sweetly at her boyfriend's words "Thank you... Sora..." she then looked around "Oh...good... Keys...my keys..."

"Here they are," said Lucas, quietly handing them to her with Happy next to him.

"Thank goodness...thank you," sighed Lucy, gratefully clutching her keys to her and drifting off to sleep. Sora then leaned down and kissed her forehead gently.

Just then the door opened and Makarov walked in.

"I have news for everyone." Makarov said calmly as he walked into the room "Since today is the fourth day there are tag battles, and with Raven Tail being disqualified, there are 7 teams...this number doesn't work for the tag battles so I've been told that the two Fairy Tail teams have to combine themselves."

"What?!"

"Combining teams A and B?" Laxus asked while raising an eyebrow.

"Why would they..." Mira asked in surprise.

"But what will happen to our points?" Gray asked.

"The lower of the two scores will be the new team's score." Makarov shook his head in disappointment.

"So we go down in the rankings..." Erza sighed as the other dropped their mouth in shock. Team A was currently in the second place after Sabertooth once again reclaimed their number one position by Minerva's victory. Juvia got an outstanding performance during Naval Battle, but the points she brought Team B were only enough to raise them to the fifth place "We're at disadvantage here, aren't we?"

"Still, we can't help it if that's what those old geezers has decided." Sora shook his head as he stood up from Lucy's bed "But in turn, we are able to create an even stronger team now."

"Sora's right." Porlyusica nodded her head "though, there will be a battle including all five members so you better choose carefully."

"Gajeel..." Gajeel turned looked over at Sora standing with a clenched fist/ "Let me battle them in this round. I know you want to fight that shadow guy more than anyone, but after what what happened to Luce, I want to express some rage."

 Gajeel looked saw that his eyes weren't joking around. He could even see a dangerous aura surround him and knowing that her dead serious, he smirked. "Fine by me," he said with a shrug, "Just don't damage his pretty boy face too much. I want that satisfaction done myself.."

"Sure thing." Sora smirked back.

--------------------------

"The Fairy Tail Team has finished reorganizing" Chapati announced as the Grand Magic Game continued "and finally, we enter the battle portion of day four. It'll be two vs two." The crowd went wild when they saw the Fairy Tail vs Sabertooth among the matchups appeared on the Lacrima Visions. "Well folks... let's see the new Fairy Tail."

"I guess they will bring out the strongest Team, eh?" Lyon asked with a smile as he could feel an enormous amount of magical power.

"Better watch out for that blonde girl's boyfriend." Ren commented as he and his team also waited for the new Team Fairy Tail to arrive. "After what happened to her, I think he's going to explode."

"The real battle start now." Makarov, who had returned to his stand with his guild, cried out in excitement as Fairy Tail cheered out with him.

"Go kick their asses!" Lexi cheered.

"This is the real meaning of strongest team." Mira nodded her head.

"This is going to be one to remember" Lucas commented.

"Come on guys" Levy shouted. "Make them pay for what they did to Lu!"

"Now this is quite an incredible team." Cana smirked as she put the bottle of beer near her lips "I'll be cheering for you guys so don't you dare  go loosing."

"I can't imagine them losing to anyone." Gajeel couldn't help but say.

"Here they come." Rufus said as five shadows slowly made their way out, making the crowd go wild, screams and shouts along with the never ending applause was almost deafening.

As Team Fairy Tail stepped out onto the field, Erza and Gray were the first to appear, shortly followed by Laxus and Natsu, wearing a calm and confident expression on their face as they were led by none other than Sora.

"It's time to show them all," Master Mavis said, making a small, confident smile as she lowered her gaze "the strength of our bonds."

Everyone began to cheer loudly in the stadium.

"The grounds are shaking!" Chapati announced. "We present to you...The New Team Fairy Tail!"

------------------------

Meanwhile, Darton notices that Lucy is not among the ranks of Team Fairy Tail. Arcadios then appears to tell him that she is currently in the medical facility. Darton questions if his plan to capture the Celestial Spirit Mage will be a success unlike last time, to which he reassures that he will not fail in capturing Lucy a second time. He then tells Darton to enjoy the festival as three days from now, the Eclipse Plan would be set into motion. Darton begins sweating as Acardios states that the world will be reformed and that Zeref had been waiting long enough for this moment. Now, with no way of stopping the plan and the tag battles about to begin, the members of Team Fairy Tail and Sabertooth stare each other down as Darton heads towards a carving of a Dragon and a hooded figure battling against each other and states that the festival goes by another name: The Dragon King festival.

The tag team battles begin Ichiya with and the masked person in the bunny suit fighting Bacchus and Rocker. Everybody is curious as to who is in the bunny suit with Ren commenting how he nor any of his team knows who it is and is shocked to see Hibiki and Jenny kissing each other. On the field, Ichiya excitedly reveals the bunny to be his Edolas counterpart, Nichiya. Everybody is surprised, especially Natsu, Sora, Gray, Happy, Lucas and Pantherlily. The two counterparts strike a pose, while everybody else makes unsatisfying faces, and Ichiya calls meeting himself destiny as he tells how they met. Bacchus then lunges at Nichiya and hits him down instantly, with Ren asking Ichiya if his counterpart can actually fight. Ichiya is still convinced the Exceed can, until it is pointed out that he has already fainted from the single attack. The two Quatro Puppy team-mates then start attacking Ichiya. As Ichiya continues to take attacks he thinks about how his counterpart agreed to battle even though he knew he had no skills. Ichiya suddenly gets very serious and dedicates his next perfume attack to Nichiya. Ichiya uses his Power Perfume attack, Smiling Smash, and punches both Bacchus and Rocker with all of his might, flinging them into the arena walls and giving victory to Team Blue Pegasus. Everybody is impressed by Ichiya's display of power, especially Erza, who is surprised he defeated Bacchus. Next, Millianna and Kagura prepare to fight Lyon and Yuka, and as the battle begins Sora and Natsu stare down Sting and Rogue.
