When the Fairy Tail mages finally got into the floating labyrinth, they realized how getting lost would be way too easy. If they weren't one of the 8 guilds to finish the maze, they wouldn't be able to beat Sabertooth or regain Fairy Tail's title of strongest guild again. Reana's confidence earlier in the day just somehow diminished within her. Gray seemed to notice this just by looking at her eyes, how they lacked determination.

"You okay?" Gray asked, catching Reana's off guard.

"I—I'm fine!" Reana scurried with her words as she raised her hands up defensively. The sudden panic of trying to find the words made Gray a bit worried for her. Why did she look like she was scared? "W—Why wouldn't I be?!"

"Well you don't look too well. Are you sick or something?" He questioned as he placed a hand at her forehead before putting his hand at his own. "You don't have a fever or anything."

"D—Don't be an idiot! Of course I don't have a fever!"

"Calm down. I'm just worried about you."

"Well you shouldn't because I'm fine!"

"I think I should because you're my—"

"Guys calm down!" Lucy interrupted with a slight grin. They barely for into the preliminary round and fighting already occurred. "You guys are already getting those romantic love arguments!" She then squealed in excitement for them.

Hearing this made Reana push Gray as far away from her as possible. Her little Tsundere self kicked in again. She completely turned red and turned her back against everyone.

"D—Don't go thinking such strange things, Blondie!" Reana blurted, still a bit embarrassed about how caring Gray was to her. She wasn't sick nor did she have a fever. It was rather something different that nobody could even guess, being that she seemed so closed off. It was like if she threw away the key.

"Basically we should head east." Erza informed, aware of not wanting to pry anything out of Reana. She basically caught onto Reana's sudden lack of confidence and decided to keep it to herself. "The arena is in that direction."

"So how do we figure out which is east?" Reana asked, turning towards her guildmates again. It wasn't noticeable on how hard she was trying to keep her expression normal even if she was dying on the inside.

"Count on me!" Lucy proudly said as she grabbed one of her keys to summon a spirit. Out came a bird with a big compass on its head. It was known as Pyxis and began to conjure up where east was. With a point and sudden determination, Lucy began pointing towards the right direction. "That way!" She was very confident to be actually useful during this elimination round.

"Sorry Lucy, but I brought a compass..." Erza announced as she held out a small compass in her hand. Lucy and her spirit sat towards a corner, both feeling depressed at that comment.

"I'm sure we'll need your help later on, Blondie." Reana tried to cheer her up, though during her comment, she sort of snickered. She couldn't help it since how awkwardly Lucy must've felt after hearing Erza brought her own compass.

"Even when you're trying to be nice you're still mean!" Lucy fumed annoyed, but with slight laughter. Even if that was mean of Reana, seeing her too nice would just be plain weird for her. She was also glad to have distracted Reana just a bit. Shortly, they began to head for east.

During their time running and running through the complicated maze, it didn't even made it to their mind until during the round. Natsu wasn't feeling sick, a bummer for Reana, even if they were on a sort of transportation thing. Suddenly a screen with the referee, Mato, aka the pumpkin-head in Reana's book, appeared.

"I'll explain because the whole Sky labyrinth is treated with magic so people with motion sickness or fear of heights can participate freely!" He then began to disappear.

'Well that doesn't help with my problem...' Reana thought to herself in a sigh. "So there are others that have motion sickness?" Reana questioned, crossing her arms.

"Then he's not the only wizard." Lucy said in a whisper towards Gray and Reana. "Isn't that funny?"

"That's just pathetic." Gray responded bluntly.

"I can hear you three!" Natsu shouted annoyed.

After making fun of Natsu, they continued running to find a door which had a long corridor that confused everyone, whether it'd be up or down. They continued to run until Natsu decided to race towards the exit which was a dead end or more like him falling for his life. However, Gray was able to catch him in time.

"Watch where you're going Natsu!" Gray shouted, since he was about to fall right down towards the city. Gray then looked down. "Falling from here, we'd end up on the street in Crocus, headfirst." After Gray's comment, Reana seemed to tense as her hands seemed to be clenched her elbows in slight fear. Lucy managed to notice Reana's tensed self and couldn't help but wonder what was wrong.

"Reana, are you okay?"

"I'm fine! I thought I established that earlier!"

"Okay, calm down then..."

Soon Erza came up with the plan of taking notes since it was quite easy to get lost in a place like the labyrinth. Everyone continued to bicker about how taking notes in such a place could prove to be rather complicated, luckily they had Lucy. During their travels, they manage to hear bickering, rather than from themselves, from afar. They stood still waiting for the noise to get closer and when it finally came closer, so did the members of Twilight Ogre. Natsu and Gray went in slinging their magic against the members and easily defeated them.

Suddenly, the Labyrinth began rotating, surprising everyone who was participating. Reana nearly fell off the platform in fear, but luckily for her Gray managed to save her.

"Got you!"

"D—Don't let go of me!" Reana cried which made Gray surprised. He had never seen the look of fear in her eyes before. Knowing that, he finally realized what had been bugging her.

"Reana, are you—"

"Don't say it out loud, you idiot!" Reana screamed angrily as Gray pulled her up. She began huffing heavily like she lost all her breath. She kept breathing in and out; by the looks of it, she seemed to be hyperventilating.

"Hey! Calm down Reana!" Gray shouted, placing his hand on her shoulder, snapping her out of her state. He had never seen her like this in her life and this was making him even more worried about her. "You're going to be okay! I'm here with you, okay?" Reana quickly and roughly batted his hand off her arm which surprised him a bit.

"No I won't! You're not her!" Reana cried as she wrapped her arms around her chest. "I won't be fine..." She murmured to herself. Said words made him feel a bit sad, being that she was still closed off from him. He wished for her to be more open since after all, they were dating now. Gray was too into Reana's fear to even realize that Lucy and Natsu were falling, along with some other mages.

"I'm already falling!"

"I wish Happy were here!"

Luckily for them, Gray had acted quickly by creating an ice type of slide which they landed safely. Gray looked back at Reana and she just sat there, apparently still scared at whatever it was that had been bothering her from the start.

A random person from Twilight Ogre somehow dropped their map which Erza managed to pick up. Natsu, Gray, and Erza suddenly came up with a rather scary idea since their eyes were shining and they held smirks. They had plotted to take the maps of anyone they came across. Lucy was afraid of their eyes since she was grabbing onto Reana's hands, though Reana looked quite annoyed.

"Everyone, your eyes look scary!"

"Blondie, your hands..."

Every time they found other guilds, they began starting a fight in order to take their maps. Being that deciphering the maps would be hard, they decided to give the job to Lucy. Strangely, Reana didn't participate in the brutal beatings of the other guilds which lead to believe that the thing troubling her was too extreme.

They maze began rotating again and Reana was yet again about to fall. Several meters away stood Rouge and Sting as they eyed the falling guilds. Reana caught his attention and he felt the need to go and save her, until he saw Gray doing what he had wanted to do.

"Fairy Tail..." Sting muttered, feeling a bit irritated by the way Gray had saved her.
