Hey. This is my first Fairy Tail fic, so please no flames. This might be a one-shot, but I might update. This is set some short time after the Tartaros Arc.

(Third Person P.O.V)

(At the Fairy Tail guild)

After the Magic Games, everyone just wanted to lay back for a while. They had used up a lot of magic energy at the dragon invasion, so everyone really wanted to just relax. Except for one person.

"Hey Gray, you stripper come fight me like a man!" Natsu yelled at the ice wizard.

"You want me to come at you, Dragon breath? You wouldn't even last 5 minutes." Gray scoffed while Juvia just sat and adored him.

"Oh so you want it, come at me pervert!" Natsu said, lighting his fists on fire.

"If only to shut you up." Gray said, activating his magic.

"Oh yes!" Juvia cheered nearby. "My darling Gray will fight bravely to prove his love for me and annihilate his foes!"

"Um, I'm not so sure that's it.." Lucy said, sweatdropping.

"Actually, that's not a bad idea, Juvia." Gray said smirking. "I've been meaning to put Natsu in his place for a while."

"Enough chit-chat." Natsu growled. "Bring it on!"

"My pleasure!" Gray yelled.

They both rushed at each other, their fists bursting with magic energy. The two kept punching at each other for a while, but then Gray started to get serious.

"Ice-Make: Lance!" He yelled, sending icy projectiles at Natsu.

"Fire Dragon Iron Fist!" Natsu yelled, rapidly punching and destroying Gray's attack.

"Fire Dragon Roar!" Natsu yelled, sending a stream of fire at Gray.

"Ice-Make: Shield!" Gray yelled, making an ice shield that deflected the flames right at Erza.

Erza summoned her Fire Empress sword and deflected the flames at the last second.

"Watch where you're throwing those attacks." Erza said, seriously. "You might hurt someone like little Asuka."

But Natsu and Gray didn't listen as they kept launching attacks.

"DESTROY HIM, MY BELOVED!" Juvia cheered viciously.

"Who do you think will win, Carla?" Happy asked his fellow Exceed.

"Honestly, I believe Gray will win." Carla told Happy.

Happy smiled with hearts in his eyes.

"Really?" He said. "Wow! I'm hoping for Gray to win too! Go Gray!"

"Happy you backstabbing traitor you just said that for Carla!" Natsu yelled, mid-attack.

"I just hope no one gets hurt." Wendy said, worriedly.

"I think it's a little too late for that." Lucy said.

"I think both of them can eat my dust." Gajeel declared scornfully.

"At least learn from them, Gajeel." Panther Lily said.

"I don't need to learn from those punks, I could beat anyone in this guild!" Gajeel said while smirking.

"Just watch." Panther Lily said.

"Natsu all the way!" Romeo shouted.

"Go on Gray!" Elfman shouted. "Show him what real men can do!"

"Calm down, big brother!" Lisanna said.

"For real men!" Elfman continued to shout.

"Who do you think would win, Lucy?" Mirajane asked Lucy.

"Well," Lucy said. "Maybe Natsu?"

Just then, Juvia came up behind Lucy.

"HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT MY BELOVED COULD LOSE!" Juvia shouted.

"Um, but Gray might win?" Lucy said, quickly changing her answer.

"STOP SUCKING UP! GRAY IS MINE!" Juvia shouted.

"Waah!" Lucy screamed, summoning Horologium.

She hid in the clock spirit.

" 'I'm not coming out until the craziness stops!' She said defiantly." The clock sprit conveying Lucy's words.

"Levy, who's gonna win?" Jet and Droy asked their leader.

"Well, Gray has a pretty good chance, but.." The bluenette said.

"Gray for the win!" The two said, interrupting Levy.

Right then, Laxus came out of a room with Fried and Bixslow.

Laxus stared at the two fighting with absolute boredom.

He walked up to the fight, and punched both of them with lightning, sending them both flying.

The two wizards groaned and got up.

"Hey, why'd you do that, Laxus?" Natsu yelled, raring for another fight.

"You're making too much noise I'm trying to watch my TV show." Laxus said.

"Whatever, I'm going for a walk." Gray said, brushing off Natsu and Laxus.

The ice wizard walked out of the guild.

"Ha, I win Gray cowered out he's a chicken." Natsu laughed.

"CALL GRAY A CHICKEN AGAIN, AND I'LL DROWN YOU!" Juvia yelled at Natsu, looking murderous.

"Yes ma'am, I won't do it again! Please spare me! Even though Gray's a weakling..." Natsu begged.

Juvia growled, sending Natsu into hysterics.

(Gray P.O.V)

I was sitting on the big Sola tree at Southgate park, venting out some anger and saying a few things about my guild mates.

"Natsu's a jerk, he doesn't know when he's beat. Gajeel's an egotistical blowhard, Laxus is just too lax these days, and Erza's a..." I was saying, before being stopped byby the sudden presence of Erza.

"What was that Gray?" Erza said.

"Nothing. Just saying your name." I said, full of fear. I'd messed with Erza far too many times.

"That's what I thought." Erza said to Gray.

Right then, Natsu, Lucy, Wendy, Happy, and Carla came up to us.

Natsu looked drenched.

"What happened to you?" I asked Dragon Boy.

"Oh, nothing, most honorable and masterful handsome Gray Fullbuster." Natsu growled, getting down on his knees.

I looked at Lucy.

"One word." She said. "Juvia."

I shuddered.

"Well, what do you need from me?" I asked.

"Well, I thought that we could take a job together!" Natsu said.

"What does it need us to do?" Erza inquired.

"It seems that we need to protect a gold caravan from thieves." Carla said.

"And we'll each get 20,000 Jewel!" Wendy said. "I can't wait to get some sweets!"

Erza stood up and raised her sword.

"Yes!" She said with a smile on her face. "We will have sweets to last for days!"

"Yay!" Wendy and Happy said.

Just then, Juvia came running up to me.

"My darling Gray!" She yelled as she hugged me.

"Whoa!" I said. "Hang on!"

"I will follow endlessly as we are destined to be in love!" Juvia cheered.

Natsu began to snicker, until Juvia growled at him.

He suddenly got on his knees. "Oh, most honorable Gray! You are better in every way!"

Erza pulled him off the floor.

"Come along!" She said, pointing her sword to the way out of town. "We have sweets to earn!"

"Allright!" I said. "Let's head out."

We headed out of town, going to earn the Jewel. Oh, and the sweets.

(Laxus P.O.V)

Fried and I walked out of the guild, going to get popcorn.

"You were right, Fried." I said. "Naruto really is a good TV show."

"I know, right?!" Fried said, going all fan boy. "I mean, I can't wait to see if Naruto and his team will pass the Chunin exams! And when will Sakura and Sasuke get together?"

"Fried." I said, stopping his rant. "1: Don't go all fan boy on me. 2: Remember what we're doing. Now, let's go get that popcorn."

Fried nodded. "I think that we might be able to find one of those bowls that can make an infinite number of popcorn! Then watching will be great!"

Just then, I felt a dark presence. One that I had felt before.

"Go inside." I told Fried. "I can handle the popcorn."

Fried nodded and went inside.

I went around the city, trying to sense that presence once more.

I finally wound up at Southgate park, still searching.

I finally got a huge sensing of the presence under the big Sola tree, where Natsu and I had our match once.

"Where are you Ivan?" I shouted, realizing who the presence belonged to.

The man in question appeared right in front of me.

"Hello, Laxus." He said, grinning at me.

I clenched my fists, lightning crackling around me.

"Don't play around. What do you want?" I growled.

He gave me an evil smile.

"You of all people should know that my only goal is to destroy the Fairy Tail guild." He said. "If Fairy Tail is not gone, then I will not stop."

"I know that you want the Lumen Histoire." I told him. "But I've already told you. I don't know about that. Only the master can know about it."

Ivan grinned. "Oh, but I have just the plan to get what I want."

My face paled as I realized what he was talking about.

"No." I said. "No, no, you-"

"I know what I said back then." Ivan grinned. "But...times change!"

I saw my surroundings darken.

"So. The illusions again." I said.

Ivan frowned.

"Raven Tail may have lost to you once, but never again! We'll succeed!" He shouted.

"Lightning Dragon Roar!" I yelled, sending a beam of powerful lightning at the bastard.

Ivan smirked, then vanished.

My attack dug through the ground, digging a trench.

"Where'd you go?" I shouted, looking around.

Suddenly, my shadow lengthened right before my eyes. I jumped back, watching as Ivan came right out.

"Shadow God's Bellow!" Ivan shouted, sending a rush of shadows at me.

"Raging Bolt!" I yelled, intercepting the attack by sending a large bolt of lightning.

The attacks collided and caused an explosion.

Ivan leapt at me, shadows cloaking his fists as he began to punch me.

I swept my hands, spreading crackling lightning that pushed him back.

But he kept coming at me.

"Shadow God's Spiral!" He yelled, making my shadow erupt into dark tentacles, swirling and pushing me up into the sky. After I was pretty high, the tentacles rose above me and exploded, sending me crashing down.

I got up heavily breathing.

"How- how did you get this power?" I asked.

"Oh, you know, boy." He said, grinning.

Memories came back to me, the Fairy Heart, the creation orb, and Dragon Lacrima.

"No." I said, speechless. "How did you-"

"I'm sorry son." Ivan said. "This is where it ends."

I put my hands together, letting the lightning flow build up in my palms. It rapidly shaped into a massive spear made of lightning.

Ivan clasped his hands together and set his feet apart. A large ball of energy began to surround his hands.

"Lightning Dragon Heavenward Halberd!" I yelled.

"Shadow God's Curse!" He shouted.

We flung our attacks at each other, but Ivan's attack went under mine with high speed and struck me, inflicting me with extreme.

Meanwhile, my attack was simply swept away by Ivan.

I groaned in pain. My body pulsed with the energy of Ivan's magic. I felt something burning into my right thigh. Somehow, I knew that it was the mark of Raven Tail.

My knees buckled and I fell to the floor.

"What is this?" I asked.

But to my surprise, Ivan had already disappeared, leaving me on the floor.

(Third Person P.O.V)

Ivan grinned as he stared at Fairy Tail from his hiding place.

"I'll admit that my plans have all failed up to now. First that Gajeel, then the Grand Magic Games." Ivan said, but then gave a grim smile.

"But now, Makarov, my goal will fulfilled. I hope that you enjoy your last days of being guild master, because you soon won't have a guild to be master of."

Ivan smirked then vanished, leaving no trace of his existence.

So, please tell me what do you think! Please, I could use some advice!
