"Shouldn't you get back before your guild gets worried?" Yukichi asked.

"Yeah, and if there's any problems, don't hesitate to call me for help or send out an emergency flare." Gray said.

"'Kay." Yukichi said. Gray got up and walked out of the door. Hana and Kaisai giggled.

"What?" Yukichi asked.

"He liiiiiikes you ~!" They both said.

"You're worse than Natsu's cat!" Yukichi exclaimed. The two giggled and Yukichi sighed. "I swear..." She said. Yukichi walked out of some balcony doors and sat on a bench on the balcony. She looked up at the sky. It was clear night with many stars and the moon lighting up the sky. Yukichi sighed. "Another person after the Akuma power huh?" She asked. "We'll have to be more careful."

Chapter Nine: The Navy Battle.

Later on that night...

Etsuko yawned as she walked through Fiore. It was 11 pm. She decided to go for a stroll with Flame while the guild continued to party.

"Hey." Flame said.

"What is it?" Etsuko asked.

"Didn't Kaisai and Yukichi seem suspicious not long ago?" Flame asked.

"Hm... I guess. Usually ice brain is partying with the guild." Etsuko said.

"Hey! Etsuko! Flame!"

"Huh?" Etsuko and Flame questioned. The two turned and saw Lucy, Natsu and Happy walking to them.

"Oh, hey." Etsuko said.

"You didn't fight in the games today." Lucy said.

"Nah, running around in a maze and..." Etsuko began to say, but then she held her stomach and put her hand over her mouth. She turned slightly green. "I can't... even say it..." She said. Lucy laughed awkwardly with a sweat drop.

"Tra-!" Lucy began to say, but then Flame cover Lucy's mouth with her paws.

"Don't say the name! She'll throw up all over us!" Flame shouted. Lucy nodded and Flame sighed in relief.

"Hey, did you visit Sun Village?" Natsu asked.

"Huh? Yeah, I did." Etsuko said.

"Sun village?" Lucy questioned quietly. "Oh that's right. Etsuko's dad was Atlas, the Flame dragon. He was the one who created the Sun Village." Lucy thought.

"How was it?" Happy asked.

"Well..." Etsuko said as she scratched the back of her head.

"Once they found out Atlas was Etsuko's dad, they began to treat her like a princess." Flame giggled.

"Shut it!" Etsuko shouted.

"They ended up chasing Yukichi and Kaisai around because they're demons, many of the men fell in love with Kiyomi, a lot of the children teased Naomi and Yuuji and some of the villagers ran away from Hakuoh, Akihito and Jinsune." Flame explained.

"Seriously?" Lucy asked.

"Yep. The others decided to come with me. They kept pinching the exceed's cheeks and calling them cute." Etsuko snickered and then Flame rubbed her cheeks.

"That really hurt." She cried. The others laughed.

"Well, we better get back to the guild. See you guys tomorrow." Etsuko said as she and Flame walked off. Lucy looked at Natsu, who was smiling while watching Etsuko.

"Natsu, stop staring like that, you'll scare everyone away." Happy snickered, but for once, Natsu didn't retaliate. He just continues to stare.

"Natsu?" Lucy asked. She put her hands on his shoulders and began to shake him. "WAKE UP!" She shouted. Natsu shook her head.

"Jeeze Lucy, what was that for? Not need to yell." Natsu said.

"You was daydreaming. Most likely about Etsuko." Happy said.

"No I wasn't!" Natsu exclaimed. They both began to bicker and then Lucy giggled.

"Come on boys. We need to get back and rest for tomorrow." Lucy said.

"Yeah, you're right. Wonder what's going to be the first round tomorrow." Natsu said.

The next day...

Everyone were waiting for the first event of the Grand Magic Games. The announcers just welcomed everyone back and explained what the first event is.

The Navy Battle.

"Who's going to go in that?" Etsuko asked as she looked at the big bubble in the sky.

"Not you since you can't use your magic in that." Yukichi said.

"What about you Yuki?" Naomi asked.

"I'll freeze it as soon as I come into contact with it." Yukichi said.

"Daiki?" Kimitsuki asked.

"As if." Daiki said.

"So it's either Emiko or Naomi." Etsuko said.

"Not it!" Naomi said.

"Oh come on!" Emiko exclaimed.

"Go ahead Emi. You can do it." Kirari said. Emiko sighed.

"Fine." She said. Every guild chose their competitor and the competitors all walked into the arena, wearing their swimsuits.

Quattro Cerberus - Rocker.

Blue Pegasus - Jenny Realight.

Lamia Scale - Sherria Blendy.

Fairy Tail A - Lucy Heartfilia.

Mermaid Heel - Riley.

Fairy Tail B - Juvia Lockser.

Sabertooth - Yukino Agria.

Phoenix A - Emiko Seishin.

Phoenix B - Kiyomi Aine.

They all entered the bubble and the match began.

"I think we should make this a Ladies only battle." Jenny smirked as she kicked Rocker out of the bubble.

"So not wild!"

"And that's one point for Blue Pegasus!" Lucy, Yukino and Emiko all faced each other, keys at the ready.

"Open! Gate of the maiden! Virgo!"

"Open! Gate of the twined fish! Pieces!" Virgo and Pieces appeared and Emiko smirked.

"You might have the zodiac signs, but I have something equally as strong! Open! Gate of the moon spirit!" Emiko shouted.

"Moon spirit?" Yukino and Lucy questioned.

"Luna!" A girl with white hair and grey eyes appeared in front of Emiko. She seemed shy.

"U-urm, Mistress..." She said.

"I'm sorry for embarrassing you like this, but you can control the water, right?" Emiko asked.

"Yes!" Luna said.

"Watch out princess!" Virgo shouted as she picked up Lucy and pulled her out of the way.

"Water tornado!" Luna shouted. She began to spin around and as she did, the bubble did too. She ended up knocking, Yukino, Jenny and Riley out.

"Three points for Phoenix Guild A!"

"Yes." Emiko said as Luna disappeared and the water went back to normal, but suddenly, Juvia attacked Emiko, pushing her out of the bubble. She then managed to push everyone else out, except for Kiyomi.

"W-wow! Three points for Fairy Tail B Team!"

"Something's not right." Mira said.

"What do you mean?" Gajeel asked.

"Look at Juvia's eyes." Mira said. Gajeel looked and his eyes went wide.

"There's no light." He said.

"She's being controlled by something..." Mira said.

"Hm, looks like it's me and you. Good luck." Kiyomi smiled. Juvia didn't reply. "You're Juvia right? You're a water mage so you have a big advantage over me. I hope I can keep up." Kiyomi said, still smiling. She looked at Juvia and her eyes went wide. Juvia was in front of Kiyomi and attacked her with a water slicer. Juvia continued to attack Kiyomi with her water slicer to the point Kiyomi fell unconscious.

"Kiyomi!" Naomi screamed.

"Juvia! Stop!" Gray shouted. Juvia was about to hit Kiyomi with her water nebular, when suddenly, the two were pulled out of the bubble. A cage went around Juvia and Kiyomi was caught by some medics. Naomi ran to Kiyomi with Kimitsuki following her. When Juvia was placed on the ground, she fell unconscious. Fairy Tail A and B team ran to Juvia while the reset of the Phoenix B and A team ran to Kiyomi.

"Kiyomi! Kiyomi! Please wake up!" Naomi cried.

"Someone possessed Juvia." Makarov said, walking to Juvia.

"Who would do this?" Lucy asked.

"Why would they posses Juvia and attack Kiyomi?" Emiko asked.

"That is something we must find out." Kino said as she approached them.

"You seem clam master." Etsuko said with annoyance in her voice.

"If I was to allow my anger to escape me, my power will come out and could possible hurt those around me." Kino said.

"Should we be frightened of her?" Lucy asked.

"Master Kino is one of the ten wizard saints. She's higher than Master Makarov." Emiko explained.

"No way." Lucy gasped.

"Those who harm my children..." Kino began to say. She began to glow slightly. "Are asking for war." She said.
