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

Underground...

"Don't be alarmed. I came from the future bearing a message...this kingdom is doomed." The strange Lucy told them.

"Another Lucy..." Mira whispered.

"H-How can it be?" Wendy asked.

"It's not...Gemini, is it?" Yukino frowned, knowing full well that that particular Celestial Spirit loved to transform into Lucy...Lucy in a bath towel.

"And it's not even Edolas Lucy...?" Happy asked.

"I seriously doubt it." Lucas said.

Carla noted. "If it was, she'd immediately spew profanities and call Sora 'The Other Me's Man or something'." The rest of the group nodded even though they were trying to wrap their heads around the whole time traveling concept.

"So you really came from the future?" Lexi asked.

"Yes, that's right." Future Lucy replied.

"WHAT!?" everyone exclaimed.

"Then how come you came here...?" Kiki asked.

"There isn't much time. This country...will soon..." She wobbled and was about to fall to the ground until Sora caught her as she past out before she could finish.

"Hey!" Natsu cried.

"Are you okay?!" Wendy immediately knelt beside her side, looking worried.

"What's going on here?" Happy asked.

"No idea." Lily said with honesty.

"I guess this means Sora has two girlfriends now...?" Lucas shrugged.

"Lucy." Mira said as the normal Lucy looked at her future self without anything to say.

"It's creepy." She finally said, looking at the ground and started to bite her lip. "Why is it always me...?"

"I don't really know how to answer that Luce, but for right now...I don't think it'll be proper to leave her here." Sora concluded, hoisting the unconscious Future Lucy on his back for a piggyback ride. 

"We'll take her with us for the time being. When we finally find the way out let's shoot a signal." Kiki said.

"That means that Lucy's rescue was successful right?" Wendy asked.

"Yeah...though we didn't expect to end up with two Lucys." Natsu commented as the group continued to find a way out.

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

"I really don't understand. To open the gate of Eclipse you need the magic of a Celestial wizard." Darton said. "Yet you sent those two to Hell Palace...isn't that a contradiction?" He was still in a conversation with Hisui back at the palace.

"Yes...it's because that time I had all the 12 keys in my hands..." The Princess replied. "I was rash."

"However, they managed to retrieve the keys too. How do you intend on opening the gate now?"

"I've already used the keys." She said. "I used them yesterday to remove Eclipse's lock. Now we only have to open the gate, with human hands."

"Is that human ready to take responsibility for changing the future of humanity?" Darton's eyebrows narrowed as he awaited her answer.

"I can't do it alone." Hisui admitted as she leaned against the railing. "That's why I wanted your approval, and also Arcadios to be with me." She sighed. "I'll decide whether to open the gate depending on the results of the Grand Magic Games. Let's be watching that for the time being."

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

Somewhere in the city...

"Let go of Millianna." Kagura growled as her piercing gaze locked on her enemy.

"I'll show you how a queen fights." Minerva smirked.

"I won't say it twice." The leader of Mermaid Heel got ready to attack, her eyes never leaving Minerva for a split second. "If you want to live, let my friend go."

"Get her back if you can." The Sabertooth woman taunted, pissing the woman off even more so.

'Fast!' Erza noticed as Kagura immediately appeared before Minerva in the blink of an eye.

"You'll be the second tiger I feast upon." Kagura said.

"I hope it's a good one this time." Minerva chuckled before using her magic to swap places with Erza at the last minute, Kagura's blade aiming straight for the head. The two of them looked at each other in horror and Erza quickly used her own blade to defend, stalling the attack.

'She switched places with me?!' Erza looked in surprise as she held off Kagura's attack, the other woman looking equally surprise.

"Settle the fight between the two of you." Minerva stated, looking at them calmly. "I'll fight against the winner." With that she turned her back on them and used her magic to make Millianna disappear.

"You're a pretty pathetic queen if you intervened only to do this." Erza commented.

"The queen is the one who moves the pawns according to her own strategy." Minerva replied without looking back. "You should feel honored. Two against one would be too much. I acknowledge at least that miscalculation." She started to walk away. "The queen must always win, no matter the conditions."

"Give Millianna back!" Erza yelled after her before noticing that Kagura had tightened her grip on her sword.

"Don't...act like you're her friend!" The leader of Mermaid Heel spat, knocking Erza back with a headbutt.

"It seems that you have much to talk about." Minerva said as she continued walking, her ears picking up the scuffle behind her. "I was in the way."

"I'll agree to your terms!" Kagura said. "Release Millianna!" However when she looked, the woman was gone and so was her comrade.

"She outwitted you completely." Erza commented as she wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.

"Shut up." Kagura rounded on her, eyes blazing. "I'll slash both you and the tiger woman."

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

"Shit!" Gajeel swore as he walked around. "The First's strategy ended up in a mess. I wonder where it started to fail."

"Gajeel."

"Hm." The iron dragon slayer looked up to see Rogue approaching him. "You're persistent. I'm not as kind as Salamander or Lionheart. Prepare yourself."

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

"We finally met, Laxus." Orga spoke as he and the lightning dragon slayer stood in the same field. "Did you realize already? I'm the lightning's god slayer."

"Even if you can kill gods," Laxus smirked, small sparks emitted off of his body as he watched his opponent. "It doesn't mean you can kill fairies too."

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

"Will it really end like the person from the future said?" Darton asked as he and the princess watched the matches on the screens in the living room. "To me it really looks like..."

"That's why it's an 'impossible outcome'." Hisui replied.

"How dirty of you, Lady." Sting murmured as he sat in the alley, refusing to move as he thought about Minerva. He hadn't made a single move since and he was out of sight from the screens to pick him up. "Hehe...oh well, they can all do as they please." He chuckled to himself. "The scenario I thought will lead us to the best victory. Watch me, Lecter."

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

Somewhere outside the arena...

"If what Lucy from the future said really becomes true..." Meredy was saying, making a lot of hand gestures. "Tomorrow... the country will be destroyed..."

"This looks bad..." Ultear agreed with her comrade, trying to think of a solution.

"Shouldn't we at least evacuate the civilians?" Her pink-haired companion asked.

"That would cause a panic." Ultear replied and shook her head. "We don't want that to happen."

"Wait." Jellal spoke. He had kept silent for awhile listening to them talk. "It's not certain that it's the truth."

"Eh?" Ultear and Meredy looked at him in confusion as he rose from where he sat.

"There's something wrong...about what she said."

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

"I guess it's time to settle this." Erza spoke as she faced off against Kagura.

"I'll be going all out."

"Exactly what I want!" The red-haired knight spoke as she moved to block the attack but it soon overwhelmed her. "Heaven's Wheel..." She quickly requipped into her first choice. "Pentagram sword!"

"Ontou." Kagura said as she nimbly evaded the attack on, appearing above her opponent. "Archenemy! 'Strong' Form!"

"GWAAH!" Erza yelped as the ground crumbled beneath her due to Kagura's attack.

"Slashing' Form!" Kagura changed stances and charged straight towards her opponent to attack relentlessly.

"Adamantine Armor!" Erza quickly changed after the other armor was shattered however even this armor was no match for Kagura who slashed her way through.

"Even Jupiter is afraid of that armor!" Max commented, referring to the time where Erza  blocked the Jupiter Cannon with that armor with Sora's Sun Shield.

"She didn't even have time to take out the sword..." Warren gasped.

"She's strong." Makarov said.

"Ugh...Uh..." Erza gasped as she felt her armor breaking off, blood spilling from her wounds and from the corners of her mouth.

"Is it still not enough?" Kagura asked, taunting her.

"Flight Armor!" Changing again, Erza decided to attack using speed. "Sonic Claw!" She dashed towards her target at high speed and slashed her multiple times from every direction. She managed to rip Kagura's clothing a bit but in exchange she was injured as well and the two of them crashed to the lower level of their fighting ground.

"How can there be a woman stronger than Erza...?"

"This is totally unexpected." Some of the guys from Blue Pegasus stated.

"Uuh...gh..." Erza groaned as she lay on the ground trembling while Kagura landed in a crouch, eyeing her like a piece of meat.

"She's really strong! Mermaid Heel's Kagura! She's overpowering Erza, the one who defeated the 100 monsters!" Chapati announced with amazement.

"I'm surprised...I didn't think there was someone like you..." Erza spoke as she got back to her feet. "Does your strength come...from your hatred towards Jellal...?"

"Shut up." Kagura snarled, her temper flaring at the slightest mention of his name.

"Ugh!" Erza grunted as her opponent kicked her in the stomach and she tumbled back， crashing into a stone pillar. "Whatever is the grudge...you bear against Jellal...I don't care..." She looked at Kagura as she struggled to breathe. "But...don't involve Millianna, now that she started being optimistic toward the future!"

"It's her own will." Kagura said before slashing at her, her opponent scrambling away from her at the last minute. "And that's my intent as well. To kill Jellal."

"What...happened...?" Erza asked as she tried to catch her breath, leaning against a broken piece of stone.

"You know that man very well. Simon, who was killed by him...was my older brother."

'Simon's sister...' Erza's eyes lit up in surprise as she remembered her brother fondly.

"We were poor..." Kagura decided to tell her the story. "...but happy. Then one day, Sora came into our lives and made them better. He was like another brother to me who I also admired deeply. However our happiness ended with the 'Children Hunt' 15 years ago. I managed to escape. I also learned that Sora escaped as well, but not Simon. So, for years and years I kept looking for my brother. Then I met Millianna...and found out about my brother's tragic life and death. He worked as a slave for years and was eventually killed by Jellal. I could see nothing but darkness...and so I swore...that I would kill Jellal to avenge my brother."

"Millianna wasn't there..." Erza spoke, getting Kagura's attention. "The only ones there were...me, Sora, Jellal, Natsu and Simon...Indeed, it's Jellal's fault if Simon died...but he didn't kill him." Tears started to spill from her eyes as she remembered Simon protecting her from Jellal. "I did."

"Are you willing to go that far to protect Jellal?" Kagura whispered, her body trembling at this new piece of news.

"No, it's the truth." Erza replied, her body shaking as she had her head lowered. "My weakness...killed Simon."

"Kagura!"

"You mustn't pull out that sword!" Kagura's teammates were yelling from the audience seats for her to stop but she couldn't, her hatred suddenly rose when her brother's killer was right in front of her. Her heart was beating rapidly inside her chest, threatening to burst at any given moment. Screaming with rage she pulled the blade out and lunged forward.

'She really wants to kill Erza!' Makarov watched with horror.

"I'm sorry..." Erza spoke softly. There was a flash of blood and the audience held their breath. "But, I can't die yet." Kagura's attack just slashed her shoulder but she managed to block the rest of it. "I'm alive thanks to Simon. I'm alive thanks to Grandpa Rob." As she started to name off names, she requipped once again into the armor she used to fight against Ikaruga, the hakama armor. "I'm alive thanks to my friends. To abandon this life would be..." She pointed her blade at Kagura. "...a sacrifice to the ones who are no longer alive on this earth."

"I'll kill you and Jellal!" Kagura screamed, rushing forward once more. "I'll kill you, no matter what!"

"If that's where you get your energy from..." Erza replied as she blocked the attack. "...that's fine. I'm not going to trample over your feelings. But," She glared at her with determination. "I'm not going to lose either!" With a quick slash, she managed to over power Kagura, knocking her opponent to the ground.

"Erza did it! What an amazing force of will! She made a comeback in those conditions!" Chapati said as the audience cheered.

"Indeed." Yajima nodded with agreement.

"W-wow, kuboh." Matoh said with his mouth opened in amazement.

'Wonderful! She was so fast that even I couldn't keep up.' Makarov smiled.

"Uugh..." Kagura groaned as Erza focused on getting air to her lungs.

"Kagura is getting up again! The fight isn't over yet!"

"I...I..." Simon's younger sister growled as she got back to her feet.

"!" Erza looked up to see some rocks from a broken pillar falling from above over Kagura's head. "Watch out!" She shouted. The audience gasped as they watched the rocks crash to the ground, filling the screen with smoke and dust.

"Eh...?" Kagura looked surprised as she ended up on her butt, unable to comprehend what had just happened.

"Gh...uh...guh.." Erza grunted as her body trembled, her eyes shut tight as she tried to block out the pain shooting up from her lower half. Even thought most of her body wasn't hurt, her right foot was trapped underneath and was probably broken from the impact.

"Why..." Kagura asked her. "Why did you push me out of the way?"

"I...know you." Erza said. "Or should I say...I remembered...I didn't know your name. All I knew was that you...were Simon's sister."

"Could it be...?" Kagura looked at her in shock.

"Yes...I'm also from Rosemary Village..." Erza rested against the ground as she remembered her home village fondly. "Just like Sora...you and Simon." The story was, Kagura was separated from her older brother Simon and Sora during the Children's War and tried to find them on her own. She was found by Erza who helped her escape the child hunters and got captured instead but not before telling her to live on．

"You were..." Kagura started to cry when she realized that Erza had saved her back then.

"Simon used to talk a lot about you...I was worried about you. I've always hoped that you'd be safe..." Erza smiled at her. "and I still do." Kagura silently sobbed, wiping her tears away with her sleeves.

"I still can't make up my mind." She said, lifting the boulder off of Erza and pushed it to the side, dragging the Fairy Tail mage out. "However...in this fight...I los-.." She suddenly froze up as Minerva appeared, stabbing her in the back with her own sword much to Erza and the audience's horror.

"Erza is the winner." She said as Erza watched Kagura fall to the ground, her arms around her wound. "But the points are mine..." She smiled deviously, "I told you that I would show you how a queen fights. Queens only eat delicious food, like Mermaid heads...or Fairies who lost their wings." The points went up putting Sabertooth in the lead.

"You..." Erza growled as she watched Minerva laugh out loud, her hatred towards Sabertooth was steadily rising.

"You are next as my main course, Erza. " Minerva grinned, gazing at her wounded opponent. "However...with that kind of wound, I can predict the result of the match."

"Mi...llia..." Kagura gasped, getting Erza's attention. The wound from the blade was not too fatal but it prevented her from participating. "Please...save Millia..."

"Yeah..." Erza promised her.

"Millianna? That kitten?" Snapping her fingers, a wormhole appeared and Millianna fell out unconsciously to the ground. "She's already unable to fight so I get the points." Again the point count increased and Kagura slowly lifted her head to see that her team was off the charts.

"Millianna..." Erza spoke as she scooted towards her friend, the blood from her foot left a trail behind her.

"Ah..." The woman responded, looking at Erza with a warm gaze before calling her by her childhood nickname. "Erzie?"

"Hold on! Millianna." Erza said, holding the woman up and cradled her in her arms. "Hmm? Sticky?" She looked at her hand to see that it was covered in blood. Setting her friend down, Erza moved the cloak to the side and saw the horrible wounds all over the back, some of them looked old while others looked fresh. "What the hell is this!?"

"I was tired of waiting. So I hurt her to have some fun." Minerva spoke, making Erza tense up. "I enjoyed her screams, they were music to my ears." That was the breaking point and something within her just snapped completely. The hatred for Sabertooth that Erza was feeling went through the roof and she gave her the most intimidating glare possible but that just made the Sabertooth women even more excited.

Uh oh! Seems like Erza has been pushed over the edge! Look forward to what happens in the next chapter. Comment on your favorite parts and don't forget to vote.
