Third Person POV

As the battle was seemingly paused, the scarlet of Fairy Tail glares at the Sabertooth mage, attempting to stand back up despite her injured leg.

"May the sins you've caused be mended by punishment! Oh great clutches of Hell!" Taking this advantage, the blonde then summons numerous longs strands of what seemed like flaming whips, shooting out from a magic circle and grasping at the injured leg of the Scarlet, throwing her to a pillar.

"Er... za..." Whispers of the two fallen Mermaid Heel Mages were heard, swing their friend get tossed like that.

"Your leg is too injured, your attempts to stand are near futile." The blonde says, taking proud strides over to the lying female.

"I... Don't care... T-this is one ba-battle that I cannot a-afford to lose...!" The Titania declared, slowing yet steadily standing with her sword supporting her.

"Picking a fight with Fairy Tail... H-hurting Lisanna, K-Kagura and capturing Millianna... You-you've made a grave mis... take..." She finishes, suddenly getting thrown back by an explosion, her eyes looking at the blonde in front of her that was wearing a clear disinterested look.

"You have no right to accuse me, Erza Scarlet. For what you and your so called Fairy Tail have done much worse to me than what I have done to you. And because of your arrogance, that will be your downfall." The blonde warned, a dark glare in her eyes as she stares down the redhead with utter hatred and disgust.

Re-quipping two twin daggers, Erza dashes towards the Sabertooth mage, slashing at her several times, despite trying to counter attack the sudden advances, some managed to penetrate through and impale her skin.

"Shut up! My rage alongside my power, is also the guild's rage and strength!" A bright golden light then engulfs the redhead, a massive increase of Magic Power suddenly apparent from her as the blonde smirks.

'An open chance to get to Rogue...' She thought, knowing that the Scarlet was unleashing her Second Origin.

"Re-quip: Nakagami Armour!" The bright light dims as Erza stands with her newly achieved armour, shocking the audience as well as her own guild.

With robes of royal blue and golden trimmings, the armouf is largely opened in the chest area, revealing much of the user's chest. The robe tied together at the waist by a simple red ribbon held together by a gold bead, having a multi-layered trim for the robe. Two large blue gloves which have gold trims flaring out in the ends, red ribbon tied on her wrists with a simple gold dotted pattern. Large golden pauldrons over each shoulder with the engraving of a opened mouthed lion. Blue and gold leggings with matching patterns of the gloves wrapping around her legs, over them were a pair of golden greaved, patterns similiar to that of the tiara on her head, the greaves themselves matching the pattern of her robe. The tiara holding two blue rhombous square pieces on each side, a triangular piece in the center, each with a golden adornment inside. Two long strands of hair on each side of her head each tied by a golden bead. A large white sash behind her which loops above her head, the ends hanging out towards the ground with a bead each at the ends.

Out of sheer acting, the blonde pretends to be in fear and attacking continuously, the spells being dispelled by the special features of the armour.

"I-I've read of this set of armour before, because of its large consumption of Magic Power from the user, it has not been worn for over ten years. Nakagami armour, one of the strongest in the arsenal of Re-quip Mages. The ones who are capable are granted miraculous levels of power that could play the laws of magic itself!" The bookworm of the Fairy Tail guild exclaims, earning a nod from their first master as well as a shocked face from the current one, all of them trained on the Lacrima Screen in front of them.

Now on the battlefield, the redhead Erza takes a step forwards, the blonde standing still with a gentle smile on her face.

"This is payback for those dear to me. For those you have hurt." The scarlet said, charging forward with her staff at hand.

"Nakagami Starlight!" Utilising the staff named Halberd, charging forward as she swings the weapon with brute force, slashing the space befofe her, sending the blonde flying back.

"A-and there you have it-kabo! Lucy Heartfilia-Apocalypse is defeated by the great Erza Scarlet-kabo! Getting Fairy Tail to earn 10 points while five points are deducted from Sabertooth-kabo! And Fairy Tail's Juvia Lockser with Gray Fullbuster defeating both Lyon Vastia and Sherria Blendy, letting them earn four points! Let's see the scoreboard-kabo!" The pumpkin mascot cheered, the scores illuminated in the middle of the arena.

1. Sabertooth                                 56
2. Fairy Tail                                    54
3. Lamia Scale                               46
4. Mermaid Heel                           36
5. Blue Pegasus                              31
6. Quatro Cerberus                      14

"What an amazing display of power we've seen this year! Who will become Fiore's number 1 guild this time?! Only one way to find out!"

After the battle was over, the Scarlet then returned back to her original clothing as she walked over to the lying blonde.

"Congratulations Erza, but you have no chance of winning. I must get going, see ya." The blonde said, standing up as she brushes the dust off of her outfit, walking perfectly fine.

Shocked, the redhead reels over the fact of the blonde being unharmed by her but still lost.

"You lost on purpose. Did you..?" She speaks out, making the Sabertooth mage stop in her tracks, turning her head slightly to view the scarlet.

"Now why would I do that? I simply wanted to let Sting enjoy his momentary victory." That was all she said before leaving without a single trace.

-x- Lucy's POV -x-

Walking along the shadowed hallways, I sniffed the air, continuing to walk towards a certain Shadow Dragon Slayer, seeing the said male sitting alongside his exceed.

"Rogue!" I called out, making him turn his head, me dashing over to where he sat at along with a smiling Frosch.

"Are you okay? Here, let me heal you." I said worried, kneeling down and hovering my arms above his injuries, a soft blue glow emmiting off of them and soothing the Dragon Slayer.

"Thanks Lucy. Wait, why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be battling Erza or something?" He questioned, making me laugh nervously as I avert my eyes from his suspicious gaze.

"Ahaha... Well you see... Miri told me what happened and I kinda sorta maybe lost to check up on you..." Silence was all there is for a few moments before my ear drums burst into a million pieces.

"WHAT?!" He yelled out, eyes wide with shock as he stared at me like I've grown a second head, me covering my precious ears so I wouldn't go deaf early in my life.

"Lower down! My ears are ten times more sensitive than yours!" I hissed, glaring at him as he gained his composure.

"Are you stupid or mad? You just lost us five points just to check up on my well being!" He exclaimed, making me look at him in shock as he sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.

Anger boiled up within me as I replayed what he said, my eyes hardening.

*SLAP*

His head was to the side as his eyes were wide with shock, a hand lifted up to his now red and swollen cheek as a hand print was there.

"Rogue Cheney-" I started, making him look at me as I grip onto his shoulders.

"Don't you dare say that I shouldn't check up on you or any other person's well being! No matter how important this game is, my family means the world to me." I said, his turn being in shock as he eyed me, my eyes having tears in them tempted to fall down my face any moment.

"Lucy..." Rogue trailed, looking at me with eyes of sadness.

I was suddenly pulled into a hard chest while a hand strokes my hair, a soft voice being whispered in my ear.

"I know Lucy... We would have done the same for you. Thank you." He said, his tone soft as I smiled slightly and hugged him back, my arms going around his back as we stayed there.

"Can Fro have a hug too?" A little voice spoke up, making us look down to see Frosch with his arms open, small tear drops in his eyes as he looks up at us.

I smile down at him and make some room, nodding my head at the little exceed as he happily jumps in, snuggling in between us as we continue our moment's peace.

"Fro never wants this family to end..." The little guy said cutely, his eyes closed as he was now in my arms, both Rogue and I smiling at his cuteness.

"Neither do I, Frosch. Neither do I."
