Grand Magic Games

Naval Battle

Normal POV

"Kyaaa. Uwahh. " Lucy screams out in pain as Minerva viciously attacks her. With her keys in the hands of her opponent, there's nothing she can do to fight back. Lucy can only endure the pain, because Minerva won't let her fall out. Bring Lucy back again and again for the sheer entertainment.

Lucy's POV

"It feels hot?" she thought when Minerva's magic hits her. She begins to head towards the outer lines of the ring, but she stops herself in time.

"If I lose here…I won't be able to face everyone who tried so hard...!" breathing a little heavy. She managed to get those and some more words out.

"I won't betray everyone's emotions. That's why I'll never give up." She gives Minerva a stare, with determination in her eyes.

She looks up at the clock. "31 seconds to go…I can hold out until then, I have to for Fairy Tail, for my friends, my family." She said in a low whisper.

"Wh-what's going on? Minerva stopped her attack." The announcer reports for everyone to hear. "What?" she said as she looks up to see what was going on. The look on Minerva's face looks twisted up, from hearing Lucy's words. Shocked by what she sees, she was not at all prepared for the next attack. Minerva unleashed a powerful attack on her.

"AHHHHHHHHHH" she yells out loud for everyone to hear. "It hurts…..b-but I won't cry or give up." her thoughts, while being push back by a great force of magic. But at the same time she can hear Minerva speak something.

"You have your heads in the clouds! Fairy Tail! What kind of heart do you think we have!?"

"WE ARE THE NUMBER 1 IN THE WHOLE WORLD! WE ARE SABERTOOTH!" she hears those words and feels another attack from Minerva at the same time.

"KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" this attack sends her flying at a great speed. "No, I won't be able to stop in time." She tries to come up with something to help her, before falling out.

"She's disappeared" The last thing she heard before a strong hit to her backside. "AHHHHHH" Minerva pulled her back in with her magic. "What? Why?" But not soon after thinking that, Minerva begins to hit her repeatable.

"Ugh. Ahhh." she screams over and over after each hit lands on her. Only one word came to her mind in response to what is happening to her. Torture. "Minerva is doing this to torture me." She was right.

"It's no good, I'm losing conscious." She knows she can't hold out much longer. No good, she feels her body go limp and falls unconscious. The last things she hears are:

"The Referee says stop"

And Minerva laughing "Hahahaha"

Normal POV

"The Referee says stop. The match is over."

Garbing the unconscious Lucy by the neck and holding her outside the ring. Minerva gave a pose of victory with Lucy as her trophy.

"LUCY!" Nastu and Gray yell, as well as some others from the guild.

Nastu and Gray jump up and are about to get Lucy when they stop and just look. Minerva sees the two guys and looks on their faces. "Why did they stop?" she says out loud. Turning to see what they see, her eyes open wide at what see saw.

With the biggest smile upon her face, Lucy begins to say something.

"Fairy Tail is Strong. Fairy Tail gives Kindness. Fairy Tail shows Love" That smile then turns into the most beautiful smile anyone has seen.

"Fairy Tail well win, you'll see. Why? Because we are FAMILY!" and then she stops.

The members of Fairy Tail begin to cry, upon hearing this. "Lucy"

Mavis stares at Lucy and smiles. "Lucy Heartfilia, someone of a pure heart and soul." Mavis then looks to Master Makarov. "Family fights for each other, Family love each other. And most of all, Family is being as one." Makarov turns to look at her and says only one thing. "Yes."

Minerva stares at Lucy. "So you're awake, huh?" getting a closer look, Minerva notices. "She's still unconscious" saying that for everyone here to hear.

Minerva has a look of pure disgust on her face. "Trash" letting Lucy go for her to fall.

"Lucy" Nastu and Gray then start to run in hopes of catching her. Right before she hits the ground they grab hold of her. "Lucy, hold on. It's going to be alright." Nastu said to her.

And with that, Nastu carries her to the sick bay on the double. With the other Fairy Tail members not far behind him.

Rouge's POV

While sitting in the seats up above, just looking at her. His eyes are somewhat open wide, while trying to understand why.

"She's smiling. Why? She lost." He was about to say something else until he saw and then heard what she had to say next.

"Because we are FAMILY!" having the most beautiful smiles on her face. His just stares at her and says something in a low whisper, something he never thought he say.

"…Beautiful…"

Authors Note: Alright, I'm going to stop here for chapter one. I hope you guys like it. Cause I do. I feel happy about writing this. I hope to see some reviews on what you think. ;D

Oh and as the saying goes "If you don't have something nice to say, don't saying anything at all" If you don't like how it starts or you don't like the paring, Please don't write anything at all, because I don't care to read mean things. XP
