//------------------------------// // Grand Magic Games: Day 1, Celebration // Story: Spike the Fairy // by PonyJoel //------------------------------// "Hey, you guys go on without me. I'm going to visit Wendy," Spike said. He changes his mind about meeting up with the others. "Alright, Fairy Dragon. Be sure to meet up at the pub. That's where we're going to celebrate," Gajeel said. Spike teleports to the infirmary where Wendy and Carla are resting. Porlyusica is caught off guard with Spike spawning into the room. Carla is up after hearing a deranged message of the future. "Spike, thank goodness you're alright," Carla said with a sigh of relief. "Before you say anything else, Makarov lied about the Acnologia sighting. He used it as a ruse in case his first team doesn't qualify for the Grand Magic Games," Spike explains. "That little troll," Carla replies. She's upset that Makarov lied a few days back. "How are you feeling?" Spike asks. "A bit better. How did things go with Day 1 of the Grand Magic Games?" "I competed in a game called Hidden, and I won a battle against Jura. I helped Fairy Tail Team B gain 20 points, and we're in the lead in today's standings." "What? You defeated Jura?" Carla is in shock. "Yea, I defeated him in battle. However, he was one of my toughest opponents. He had great counters against some of my best attacks." "Wow," Carla responds, imagining the fight. "I'm sure you can rewatch it on a lacrima vision or at least see the highlights," Porlyuisca says. "How's Wendy?" Spike asks. "Still asleep but, she's getting better. Give her another day, and she'll be back on her feet." "After I celebrate with our friends, I'll come back here and watch over her," Spike said. "Mind bringing some food?" Carla asks. "Sure. I'll bring back food for you," Spike smiles and teleports to Gajeel. He arrives at the pub and gets a standing ovation on a job well done. "Thanks, everyone," Spike smiles. "Alright, now that our champion has arrived, let's party!" Makarov shouts with joy. "Man, Spike. You were killing it out there today," Cana drinks her chug of beer. "As for Fairy Tail Team A, you guys suck! Do better!" "Don't worry. We will! I'm stepping up for tomorrow's opening contest!" Natsu declares. "Good news, Salamander, I'm going into tomorrow's contest as well," Gajeel said. "I have to say, Spike," Mavis Vermillion walks up to him. "You impressed me today. The way you moved, using your opponent's offense against them, turning defense into offense. Not only you improved intellectually, physically as well." "What about me, Mavis Vermillion?" "Oh my, Fairy Rage. It's an honor to meet you even though you reside in the baby dragon's mind," Mavis smiles. "It's an honor to meet the First Master of Fairy Tail." "So, you have the power to possess inanimate objects?" Mavis asks. "Not only that, I can possess people and demons too. If they use telepathy, it's a doorway for me to enter and screw with them. Also, I have the ability to close Spike's door to block any telepathic from reading his mind, manipulating it, and erasing his memory." "That's cool," Mavis smiles. "Unfortunately for me, I won't be participating for the next few games since I've competed in Hidden and in Battle." "Don't worry, we got your back, Fairy Dragon," Laxus said. "We'll take care of things as we promised earlier," Mirajane said. "Have any of you see Lucy around?" Spike asks. "She and Gray are still bothered by today's loss. However, she says congrats on winning Day 1 for Fairy Tail," Wakaba said. "Raven Tail gave them a bad wound in today's battle. They need a little time alone to cope with it," Macao said. "Alright then," Spike sighs a little. "Spike," Erza walks up to him. "Hey, Sis. What's up?" Spike turns to Erza. "You did well in hidden as well as beating Jura. I'm proud of you," Erza smiles. "Thanks, Sis," Spike smiles. "Enjoy the victory cause tomorrow is a mystery. Fairy Tail Team A will be rising to the top. I do plan on defeating your team and securing Fairy Tail as the number one rank Guild in all of Fiore." "Oh, you want a little competition? You got it!" Spike smirks. "Hey, cool it," Gray said, walking into the pub. "Yea, we're still representing Fairy Tail," Lucy concurs, walking in the pub as well. "No need to get into a heated argument." "Hey, Lucy! I heard what happened. We'll get Raven Tail for sure tomorrow and the next day," Spike said. "Hey, Spike. That we will, I'm all fired up now!" Lucy shouts. "Now that everyone's here," Makarov gets on a table. "A toast," Makarov lifts his chug of wine. "Today, Fairy Tail is number one thanks to Spike the Fairy. Now, we'll continue to pick up where he left off! Fairy Tail will continue to soar to the top and reclaim our rank as the greatest guild in all of Fiore! Day 1 of the Grand Magic Games belongs to us, but the war has only begun. There are more challenges ahead of us, and we will conquer them! Are you with me!?" Makarov shouts joyously. "YEAH!" Everyone said in unison. For the next hour, everyone parties like no tomorrow. They ate, drank, and prepared for any possible matchups for tomorrow's battles. Spike packs up some food and teleports back to the infirmary. He overhears Carla mentioning about two visions. "Spike! Can't you use the door like everyone else?!" Carla throws a little temper tantrum. "Sorry for the intrusion. I brought you three some food as promised. Now, what are the visions, if you don't mind me asking?" Carla sighs and takes a deep breath. "The first vision is confusing because it's only bits and pieces. It wasn't very clear. I saw a white knight, an enormous circle. Then I saw something that defied all reason. I saw Mercurius come crashing down and Lucy singing." "Carla, mind if I enter your mind and see the vision myself?" "I'm not sure. What can you do in my mind, Fairy Rage?" "You said that your vision comes in fragments. Perhaps I can help fix your future vision power." Carla takes a deep breath. "Very well. I trust you wholeheartedly since my friend is dating Spike." Fairy Rage leaves Spike's mind and enters Carla. Fairy Rage sees a collaboration of memories; past, present, and some bits of the future. He sees the vision Carla just mentioned; however, an image about Lucy's singing is incorrect. Fairy Rage looks around Carla's memory and tries to use his magic to fix Carla's visionary power. Unfortunately, his power cannot work like that in someone else's mind. It can only work on Spike. With that said and done, Fairy Rage returns to Spike's mind. Spike takes a deep breath after feeling Fairy Rage's return. "Any luck, buddy?" "Sadly to say, my power cannot fix another creature's power within their mind, only yours, Spike. However, I did see the image of Lucy singing. She wasn't singing. Lucy was crying." Carla, Porlyusica, and Spike are in shock to hear that. They become worried about the meaning of the first vision. "If that was the first vision, what was the second?" Spike nervously asks. "A guild, all wearing cloak comes after you, Spike. They don't seem to care. I heard screams, cries, and a sword drop." Spike feels he's ready to have a panic attack. Two things come to his mind, his former friends or a dark guild looking to sacrifice him to either Acnologia or Zeref." "I.., I don't know who screamed, cried, and drops the sword. It's all a blur to me. That was more terrifying than the first vision cause it happens during the Grand Magic Games," Carla said. Spike doesn't know what or how to react after hearing that. Parts of him regret while the other parts want to scream and cry. "However, those are visions. The future can change depending on the choices we make. Don't let the visions discourage you. Also, how can a guild get you when you are more powerful than they?" Porlyusica asks, giving Spike much-needed confidence and closure. "You're right, Porlyusica. Thank you for your kind words," Spike gets on a bed facing Wendy. "You're welcome. Sleep, you'll need your energy for tomorrow, Fairy Dragon," Porlyusica said. Spike nods. "I will. Are you going to be okay by yourself tonight?" "I'll be fine. I'm used to staying up for a few days. I will say to you, don't talk about the visions you and Fairy Rage heard to no one. It'll be best to stay silent until we know more about them." "Understood," Spike walks up to Wendy and kisses her cheek. Wendy smiles in her sleep. Spike teleports out of the infirmary into his room where Fairy Tail Team B is sleeping. At the Honeycomb Inn. Spike gets in bed and looks out the window. He sees the moon in the sky. "If you dare come, Twilight, I will end you myself." Fairy Rage and Spike said in sync.
