Grand Magic Games X793

by On Hiatus Forever

It has been two years since Fairy Tail's comeback and victory at the X791 Grand Magic Games. The fairies have been crowned Fiore's strongest guild, but what happens when new guilds, Legal and Dark, emerge and begin to gather reputations all around Fiore? What is the secret of the Dark Guild, Occult Hand? Come join our heroes, the Fairy Tail Guild and their adventures in Crocus!

1. We Aimed For The Top

Chapter 1: We aimed for the top…and we reached it!

Fairy Tail has overcome many struggles. They've fought the Balam Alliance, squared off with the elite soldiers of Edolas, beat the twin dragons of Sabertooth and even fought against real dragons; they've run against time and saved the world.

It's been two years since Fairy Tail's victory at the Grand Magic Games and the world has erupted. Applause boomed like thunder and the earth shook for days. The waves of the sea crashed against the seashore. Many were inspired, many were scared and many were captivated by the Fairies' comeback.
X792 was known as the year of "spreading wildfires" a plethora of guilds have spread across Fiore. Minotaur Horn…Siren Wing…Satyr Torc…White Totem…Sentinel Dungeon…Maroon Centaur…these are the guilds that were established in X792 by a number of new masters.

They all were inspired by Fairy Tail's performance. These guilds have become a new generation of magicians. A new generation to have their turn at shaking the world.

It's the year X793 and a new era has begun…a new Grand Magic Games tournament.

"Give it back Natsu!" "No way it's your fault for never wearing pants!" "Piss off pinky!" "What did you say!?" "You heard me!" "You're gonna get it now, you freaky stripper!" "Say that one more time!" "ENOUGH," Erza Scarlet's booming voice rang throughout the guild hall.

The busty, scarlet mage stepped between the two quarreling boys and literally knocked some sense into them. Erza Scarlet was a very well-endowed and formidable woman of 21 years old. "Stop fighting! You're going to make the Master lose all of his hair!" Natsu, the pink haired Fire Dragon Slayer wouldn't go down without a fight. "He started it Erza! Besides the Master has lost all of his hair!" This statement triggered an annoyed response from Makarov Dreyar, the Guildmaster of Fairy Tail who was pushing the age of 91 years old.

"I am not old! I am as fit as a fiddle! Hell, I'll show you now!" The short, white haired master of Fairy Tail jumped down from the counter he sat on and rushed over to Gray Fullbuster. "Gah!" Makarov fell over and rolled around in pain. "Yo Ojiisan you okay?" The aforementioned Fullbuster walked over to the crouched over elder.

Gray Fullbuster was a well-built, fair skinned and often shirtless, Ice Mage with a clam demeanor. The equally strong, fair skinned Natsu Dragneel was a more…hands on type of magician. "Master!" Mirajane Strauss, the guild's resident white haired, blue eyed beauty ran over to Makarov. "Gahhh…it's my damn back…if I was three years younger I would be able to kick the crap out of you brats." Lisanna Strauss, Mirajane's younger sister with the same hair colored laughed, "I'm sure you could master." Elfman Strauss, the only boy of the Strauss family triplets yelled out, "MAN up Master! We're the strongest! We are men!" Elfman shouted and pumped his fists while Lisanna giggled and Mirajane struggled to pull the old man back on his feet.

"Sure is lively around here!" Lucy Heartfillia, the blonde and curvaceous Stellar Spirit Mage spoke to two petite blue haired girls. "Yeah! Sure is…" "Natsu-san! Stop fighting!" Levy McGarden and Wendy Marvell sat on top of higher barstools than the blonde mage, both compensating for height differences. "Kyah! Natsu-san!" Wendy Marvell was a short, skinny and flat-chested Sky Dragon Slayer with a slight inferiority complex to other women. The 14 year-old bluenette almost hopped off of her stool to pull Natsu off of Erza and Gray, who were locked in some sort of Mêlée à Trois. The girl who sat next to her, Levy McGarden was an equally short, equally as flat yet slightly more self-conscious Solid Script Mage.

Levy was clearly starting to get annoyed with Gajeel Redfox's teasing. He'd always call her "shrimp" or "shorty" it just seemed to piss Levy off to no extent. You didn't call Levy McGarden short unless you wanted a Solid Script: Iron shoved where the sun don't shine.

"Gray, Natsu, cut it out!" "Stop it you two!" "Geez…get a room" "WHAT!?" Natsu and Gray exclaimed in unison while being pummeled, "who said that!?" A large cackle came from a table near the far end of the room. Bickslow, Evergreen, Freed Justine and Laxus were having a jolly time making japes at the younger mages.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, such youthful energy and such a shame it is always wasted," Evergreen, a brown haired and very attractive woman in her early-twenties brushed her long locks back as she talked. Beside her sat Freed Justine, a skinny male with even longer green hair, although he did cut it annually. Besides them both was the grandson of Makarov Dreyar, Laxus, whose bright blonde hair and unforgettable scar (located on his right eye; shaped like a lightning bolt) distinguished him from the other S-Class wizards.

Although the true culprit was Bickslow, a mildly muscular man with broad shoulders wearing a metal visor. This visor was reminiscent of a medieval sallet, the visor was essential for keeping the cackling mage's Figure Eyes in check. Bickslow laughed maniacally as his "babies," his magically controlled dolls, spun around yelling "room! Room! Room!" Lisanna giggled a bit and began laughing after she saw Gray attempt to punch Bickslow but instead got a fistful of Erza Scarlet's Heart Kreuz armor.

Bickslow cackled like an absolute psychopath while Freed Justine and Evergreen argued about whose hair had the most volume. The very beautiful, purple haired beauties named Kinana and Laki Oiletta talked with Max Alors and Warren Rocko about missions. The "pleasantly plump" Droy and the "hyped-up" Jet bickered with Gajeel Redfox, the aforementioned black haired Iron Dragon Slayer. Pantherlily, Carla and Happy the talking cats who were colored black, white and blue, respectively; yelled back and forth about fish, kiwi and many other strange subjects. Juvia Lockser, the eccentric blue haired Water Mage conversed with Cana Alberona; the brown haired and often drunk, Card Mage.

Meanwhile, Mirajane Strauss was still helping the Master back onto his feet as he kept on falling each time. "Master! Please rest for a bit!" "Rrrr…" The noise across the guild was starting to really annoy Makarov, who grabbed onto his cane (which he hated having) and stood up back onto his feet. "THAT'S ENOUGH BRATS!" The whole guild hall went silent.

"QUIET! ALL OF YOU! ROMEO WILL BE BACK ANYTIME NOW WITH BISCA AND ALZACK WITH AN ANNOUNCEMENT SO SHUT UP!" "Sorry master…" the "brats" all said in unison.

Makarov Dreyar smiled apologetically, "the noise and all the fighting is annoying, but it makes Fairy Tail what it is, without it we wouldn't be Fairy Tail." On that note the Master help up his index finger as a sort of guild-wide hand gesture. Everyone in the guild cheered and drank happily until the doors burst open. A very excited Romeo ran in with the married couple, Bisca and Alzack, who were holding the hands of their daughter, Asuka.

"Guys! It's here! Natsu-nii, everyone. Gather around!" Romeo ran to the nearest table and sat down in a hurry, slamming down a flyer on the table. "Eh?" "Whattya got there Romeo?" Macao and Wakaba, the two "old farts" of the guild walked down from the second floor to greet everyone. Macao with his blue mustache and dark hair accompanied Wakaba, his best friend, with his squinted eyes and slicked back light brown hair. The two sat down next to Kinana and Laki. The guild master hopped on top of a barstool to get a load of the action.
"Hm?" Gajeel Redfox looked mildly interested for once, putting aside the drain pipe he was eating to get a good look at the flyer.
"It's the flyer for the-" "No way!" "We're gonna participate this year right?" "Hell yeah we are!" Excited shouts arose from the guild members as a crowd formed around Romeo. "Cool!" Natsu said as Happy, his cat companion, flew on his shoulder. "That's right! It's the flyer for the X793 Grand Magic Games!" Romeo pumped his fist in the air while Wendy jumped up ecstatically. "Yay! We're gonna participate this year…" "…and win!" Lucy and Wendy high fived while Gray and Loki, who did an impromptu appearance from the gate, did a fist bump. "…blondie…" Part of the room went silent as a pale skinned woman with long dark red hair walked up behind Lucy. "Oh hey Flare!" Lucy smiled as best she could at her former tormentor, "you excited for the games?"

Flare smiled, "y-yeah…" Prompting a grin and thumbs up from Lucy.

Flare Corona was once a member of the guild, Raven Tail, a former dark guild led by the malicious Ivan Dreyar. Ivan Dreyar was the son of Makarov Dreyar and after a bunch of reckless and dangerous actions, he was kicked out of Fairy Tail. Hatred and strife engulfed Ivan as he implanted lacrima in his only son, Laxus, in the hopes of harvesting it later when it matured; an act that would have killed the boy.

Flare herself was once a mean and vicious woman who had threatened Lucy and Asuka. Even going as far as to publically humiliate Lucy when the blonde tried to surrender during the X791 Grand Magic Games.

Although Flare didn't know any better. She was raised by the giants in Sun Village, later leaving them to find people of her own size. When she met Ivan Dreyar and the rest of the members of Raven Tail, she joined happily without even knowing the extent of their malicious and sadistic personalities; something she just assumed was normal for people outside of her village. Eventually after suffering abuse and frequent beatings from Alexei…er…Ivan Dreyar, her former guild master. She eventually quit Raven Tail upon the guild's disqualification from the Grand Magic Games and decided that she needed to change. Flare was taken into questioning by the Rune Knights, Fiore's own civil force that prevented crime.

After realizing the extent of her actions, Flare felt terrible and cried endlessly. She sought out therapy and even followed Lucy to Ryuzetsu Land to apologize to her. Flare was eventually found taking advantage of the Fairy Tail's bathing facilities where she was mistaken by Erza. An enraged Cana attempted to attack her but was stopped by Lucy. After Lucy stood up for Flare, who had no place to go, she suggested that Flare speak with Master Makarov about joining Fairy Tail. Initially refusing, Flare started to walk off before Lucy stopped her trying to convince her to stay.

The red head was greeted with an icy response from well…everyone. She asked to speak with Makarov alone, only to have Erza and Mirajane tag along to. The pale woman apologized profusely and didn't fight back when Erza smacked her. Makarov held Erza back and let Flare explain her case. After learning of Ivan's abusive ways, Makarov took pity on her and let her into the guild.

"A wayward young woman stands before us asking for shelter, for comfort, for a home…who are we to turn her away?" After much convincing from Makarov and Lucy, the guild began to accept Flare; ironically it was Asuka who first accepted Flare. A few piggy back rides and peekaboo sessions soon made Miss Corona one of Asuka's favorite playmates. Then the rest is history.

Flare had proven herself loyal and had become a good friend of most members of the guild. She still didn't quite fit in and despite Lucy's urging, still avoided girls' night to the best of her ability. "Hey Flare! Ready to kick some ass?" Natsu laughed with the same psychotic nature as Bickslow as he and Happy danced around. "Heehee! I bet Saber's gonna be there too!" Happy flew around with his large white wings.

"Ugh…male cat…so rowdy" Carla, the only female exceed and the white colored cat, sipped tea with Pantherlily while the others talked about the games. Pantherlily grinned, "Heh, his name suits him."

"Ojiisan! We gotta compete this year! We won last year too and I bet we can win this year!" Romeo gave a thumbs up to Makarov who grinned and patted Romeo on the head. "Oh we're going to compete this year…and we are going beat the competition." The guild roared in approval, drinks and tables flying everywhere. "Besides, it might be fun with all these new guilds popping up," Erza smiled while Gray looked for his shirt.

"I doubt the competition can even compete with us…" Droy said with a mouthful of large chicken leg. "Yeah, nobody can beat Fairy Tail!" Jet rose his glass high in agreement with Nab and Warren.
"…and so we aim for the top once more, this should be interesting, hm!" Reedus Jonah, the best painter of the guild grinned ear to ear as he painted his newest moral, "Ode to Glory."

An ode to glory indeed….knock knock!

"Hm?" "Huh?" What?" The celebration was cut short by a knock at the door. "Is that Romeo?" Natsu replied as he scratched his head. "Romeo's already here!" Lucy said while smacking the Fire Dragon Slayer on the head. Makarov Dreyar hopped off his barstool and used his cane to hobble his way to the doorway.

He opened the door and standing there was a girl even shorter than Wendy, with hair as red as fire and fierce, dark hazel eyes. "Hello young lady, how may I help you?" "…where's the master of Fairy Tail?" The girl spoke with a serious tone, ignoring the glances from the guild members. "I am actually the guild master, is there something you would like to talk to me about?"

The girl was silent for a moment as if contemplating something. Then she leaned towards the master and whispered something in his ear. "I see…oh? Very interesting…well I am sorry to hear that...yes we can talk in private. Erza! Mirajane! Come with me for a minute," The master then limped through the room with Erza, Mirajane and the young girl following him. They walked up the stairs to the second floor and walked into a room in the middle of the hallway.

The door shut…and there was silence. Not even a pin drop was heard for five minutes.

"Who was that?" Happy asked. "What did she want to talk to the master about," Gray scratched his neck while searching for his pants. "I have no idea," Cana said while guzzling down a barrel of booze. "She looked kinda scary…" Droy tore at his chicken leg while the other members looked at him strangely, "scary! She's scary for a kid! Heheh, not that she scares me right Levy-chan?"
Levy McGarden stood silent for a moment. "Well, whatever she wanted to talk to master about is not of our business."

Reedus Jonah sat in the back of the guild hall sketching wildly on a new canvas. He was not drawing a picture of Fairy's Tail victory at the Grand Magic Games nor the celebratory drinking. But instead he was drawing a picture of the girl. He didn't know why but he only thought of one title for the picture:

"Sisterhood…"
