"I'm just happy I got to beat some people up," Sobek laughed before disappearing into the lake, returning to where he was before I summoned him.

"I just barely made it," I thought to myself as I faced the boulder and turned left to go around the lake. "Now to move onto the next opponent."

Now:

• 3RD PERSON POV + 5 MINUTES EARLIER •

There were several lacrima screens around the Domus Flau, showing all the participants and what they were doing. There was a screen showing Lucy battling Sarya and Phedalea while there was one showing Bridget, the constellation Lucy had summoned and sent in the opposite direction.

The other screens were showing the contestants walking around the forest, while very few were battling against other team members.

Bridget had been walking for about 5 minutes already until she stumbled upon the person she was told she'd meet, and inevitably fight against.

Bridget got ready, trying to look as powerless and scared as possible. "E-Excuse me?" Bridget stammered, catching the boy's attention. She was a little shorter than him, residing a little taller than his shoulders.

"Hello?" He questioned with surprise before his eyes softened upon the gaze of the eye-catching female. "Are you lost? Pretty women like you aren't supposed to be out here during the games."

"You're a participant?" Bridget asked the unfamiliar blonde boy with a button-up shirt and a tie. "What's your name?" She inwardly smiled.

"My name's Eve, of the Blue Pegasus guild," the boy introduced with a little bow. He moved closer to the girl as he looked around the forest warily. "I should get you out of here."

"That won't be necessary," Bridget smiled sweetly, earning a confused look from the Blue Pegasus mage.

"But I wouldn't want for you to be hurt," Eve said with worry. By now, they were within arms length. (STAY 6 FT AWAYYYYYYY EEEEEEEE lol and the constellation name is Corona Borealis- i swear i didn't plan this)

"I was summoned to defeat you," Bridget replied.

Eve still stood confused until it hit him. "Summoned? Are you a celestial spirit or-"

Eve was then cut off from Bridget changing forms. Bridget's shape changed drastically like she was shifting like a werewolf.

Bridget grew taller and more muscular. Her brown hair disappeared, being replaced with brown fur all over her body. She gained bronze armor on her calves, torso, right forearm, and left arm. Her feet changed to hooves and horns sprouted from her head. Her ears and nose changed to those of a bull's as a gold nose ring appeared on her muzzle. In her right hand, a large bronze battle axe with a bull's head designed on its blade. Bridget still wore her simple blue dress, but it was no longer long and flowy due to her new figure. Bridget was now a minotaur, but her feminine features were still evident.

"I am the constellation of the Northern Crown, Corona Borealis," Bridget told Eve as he stood in awe.

He gulped as he stood in a battle stance. Bridget was now about a foot taller than him.

Bridget bent down before lunging herself towards Eve, hitting him with her armored shoulder as she quickly passed by.

Eve stumbled to the side as he was attacked by Bridget. "White Fury!" He exclaimed, extending his left arm out as a medium-sized snow blizzard blasted out of his hand.

Bridget stood her ground, digging her hooves into the ground. She shuddered at the sudden cold feeling against her fur, but she brushed it off to focus on her task.

The thing about Bridget is that she has no magic besides shifting back and forth between her human and minotaur form. But what she lacks in magic, she makes up for in strength and speed. Being part bull increases her strength drastically while also increasing her speed.

Bridget pushed through the blizzard, inching closer to the snow mage as he struggled to keep her back.

The minotaur moved quicker as she had a time limit before Lucy's magic energy would inevitably drain if Bridget stayed out of her constellation for too long. Bridget knew that Lucy would face a foe and have to fight. With Bridget staying out, Lucy would have to hold back from defeating her opponent quicker.

Bridget then suddenly moved to the side, out of the reach of Eve's blizzard, catching Eve by surprise. Using her speed, she ran towards the Blue Pegasus wizard and kneed him in the gut, sending him back into a tree.

As he collapsed to the ground, Eve tried to get up and continue to fight. In one swift motion, Bridget quickly threw her axe just a few feet above Eve's head, causing the treetop to fall over from the axe cutting through it.

The treetop fell, crushing Eve beneath it. Eve yelped in pain as he was soon defeated by the constellation of the Northern Crown.

Bridget shifted into her normal human form as her bronze battle axe faded in a sparkling light.

She moved towards her defeated opponent before struggling to pull him out from under the cut tree.

"The constellation Corona Borealis, summoned by Lucy Heartfilia of Fairy Tail, defeated Eve Tearm of Blue Pegasus!" Chapati announced as Eve teleported to the Blue Pegasus balcony to be sent to the infirmary. "Fairy Tail is now at 59 points, staying in 1st place!"

As soon as Eve was teleported away, Bridget was consumed by light as she started to fade away, returning to her constellation.

Minutes passed, a few opponents being taken down, giving points to other teams.

Sting Eucliffe of Sabertooth defeated Warcry of Quatro Cerberus. With Sabertooth's power-up, Sting earned 3 points, putting Sabertooth in 2nd place with 51 points.

Kiran Mavra of Meraki Parastin defeated Beth Vanderwood of Mermaid Heel, earning Meraki Parastin 1 more point. They're now tied for 3rd place with Lamia Scale.

Malcolm Seth, the fake angel and air mage of Splitforce, defeated Toby Horhorta of Lamia Scale. After defeating Toby, Splitforce earned 1 more point, but it didn't cause any change to their place on the leaderboard. Splitforce still remains in 5th - 4th if you count Meraki Parastin and Lamia Scale tying for 3rd.

There were a few battles raging on, like Bacchus Groh vs Remo Ekon, but they have yet to declare a winner.

After Lucy Heartfilia defeated the girls of Splitforce, as well as their wolf companions, she earned another 4 points for Fairy Tail, since the wolves count for 1 point each. That would put Fairy Tail at 63 points as they remain in 1st place.

The rest of Fairy Tail was sticking to Mavis' plan. They were staying in place, remaining in the place where they were teleported to. Lucy Heartfilia was the only active Fairy Tail member right now, earning points for her team until the time came for them to move.
