It was a calm, peaceful day in the town of Magnolia , in which the legendary guild, Fairy Tail resided, within the guild many of the mages were enjoying the laid back mood of this day and were relaxing and talking to one another about missions, gossips, etc. However, that self contained wild Fairy Tail would later change once they received word that the Grand Magic Games would soon begin later on in the year X793.
"The Grand Magic Games is approaching soon?" asked a red head man wearing a dark colored cape, Gildarts, after having drunk some beer. "Yeah in about six months it will begin this year," said a lady, wearing an outfit that coordinated with a black and white pattern, Cana, after she finished a gulp from her barrel of beer. "Say Cana, maybe we should participate in the tournament together as father and daughter" cheered the redheaded man with a huge smile. "No! Stop being so clingy let me just finish my beer" snapped Cana as she proceeded to drink from her barrel. After Cana's response the red head man, Gildarts, was heartbroken and began to sob uncontrollably.
The mages within the guild that witnessed the situation began to gossip and laugh at the relationship between the father and daughter, whispering "Looks like Cana is stronger than Gildarts"," Well, she does know Fairy Glitter…", "The womanizer brought down by his own daughter…", "I wonder if Cana's cards foresaw this situation…"
As the guild members went on with their laughter and banter. Suddenly came in one of the guild's strongest group of members Team Natsu. "Ah, that mission was a bore" whined a cherry blossom haired guy with his arms behind his head as he was walking forward with his head up and eyes closed as if he was going to let out a yawn, Natsu. He then opened up his eyes and looked around the guild and saw Gildarts at the bar and shouted "Hey Gildarts, let's fight, I'm definitely going to beat you this time" with a cunning smile.
All the chattering of the guild members toned down a bit as they were awaiting to witness the event that was about to unfold and payed close attention between Natsu and Gildarts. Gildarts wiping the tears from his face chuckled a bit after figuring out who threw down the gauntlet to him, so he turns to the young mage and responds "Well I can't down a fight against Natsu" as he smiled.
A blond lady, Lucy, that walked was part of Team Natsu, exhales "Good, grief we just got back from a mission you should relax for a change." A shirtless guy with dark blue hair, Gray, along with a red head lady in armor, Erza, in unison sighed "Well, that's Natsu for you" with grins on their faces.
"I'm fired up!" exclaims Natsu. He proceeds to run full speed towards Gildarts while he his using his move Iron Fist of the Fire Dragon, which caused a ball of fire to surround his right hand. As Natsu was about to land his attack, Gildarts effortlessly hits Natsu on his head when he was within his reach with his crash magic and BAM! An unconscious Natsu is on the floor trying to make his hand grip for reality crying "WAHH!"
Everyone in the guild erupted in laughter because of the result of the little match, it was somewhat entertaining to them, but they later began to proceed looking for missions to do. Gildarts was smiling brilliantly while also letting out a childish laughter, then proceeded drinking his beer. "Haha, hey thanks Natsu that cheered me up." snickered Gildarts.
A blue cat with wings, Happy, flies toward Natsu, picks up his face a little, and slaps him in the face. Natsu gains some consciousness back. "Err… what happened? Did I finally beat Gildarts!?" Natsu asked. As Happy was about to respond to his question, Gray interrupted with his usual cold comment,"No you got your dumb ass knocked out senseless"
Natsu deeply angered by the harsh comment suddenly gains back all his consciousness and rushes towards the shirtless mage leaving the blond lady commenting "Wow, he rebounds quickly…" once he was in the Gray's face, he argues "What did you say you droopy eyed bastard!" The Gray retorts "I said get your smelly ass dragon breath away from me bastard!"
The blond lady begins to make a face of embarrassment due to the argument between the two mages and but then changed to fear while witnessing a red aura surrounding Erza as she was walking towards the two mages.
As the two guys continued their bickering many began laughing at how Natsu leaves one fight and starts another. However, that laughter ended when the red head lady was seen walking towards the bickering guys with her insane crimson aura. When she is close to the two guys, she abruptly halted the two, by grabbing them by the ear and staring down at them yelling "What do you think you two are doing!", "What have I told you two about making an ass of yourselves in the guild!" raged the red head lady as she stared them down with red eyes and an evil grin.
"We're sorry Erza, we won't do it again" pleaded the two guys in unison. After which the two guys began walking away from each other with faces of that a little kid caught doing something they shouldn't would have.
The blue cat evaded the situation and flew towards the bar to talk to Gildarts, once he is by Gildarts he asks "Hey were you sad before we arrived? Because you said Natsu cheered you up a bit earlier."
Gildarts sighs after finishing his drink, turns toward the cat, with a momentary blank expression that immediately turned into a face bursting into tears. As he was trying to grab the blue cat to hug it, he cried "Yea, I wanted to participate in the upcoming Grand Magic Games with Cana this year."
Since Natsu was walking in a direction that he could overhear Gildarts he asks "Wait! The Grand Magic Games are coming up!?", "Yea in about three months the tournament will begin" sobbed Gildarts as he was hugging the blue cat tightly and Happy began mouthing the words "Help Me!" since he could barely breath.
"Hey…" Natsu paused with a blank face that later turned into a huge smile, "Yo, Lucy and Happy we should begin training so we can participate in the games again!" motioned Natsu ending with a friendly grin on his face. "Aye, sir…" struggled the blue cat, Happy."Wait, we just got back…I need to pay my rent plus I'm really hungry" whined the blond lady, Lucy.
Before Natsu exited the guild, while dragging Lucy behind by her arm and after prying Happy from Gildarts clutches freeing him and allowing him to fly free, he stopped because the guild master, Master Markarov, after hearing news about the upcoming Grand Magic Games, announced that he will hold a meeting later in the week about the competitors that will compete in the Grand Magic Games on behalf of Fairy Tail.
Natsu then stands by the exit of the guild with a blank expression because he is unsure what to do till the meeting. Lucy forcefully frees her arm from Natsu and gets furious with Natsu because of him dragging her yelling "Seriously Natsu every time I want to relax you take things to the extreme!"
Natsu leans back on the wall in a nonchalant position and said "Whatever I'm gonna go eat some food you can join me and Happy if you want." As he proceeded to exit the guild with Happy flying happily since he was thinking of the fish he was about to eat.
Lucy remained furious starring Natsu down as he walked off, but then her stomach growled so she said to herself "Maybe I'll forgive him until when he pays for pays the meal and give him a piece of my mind later." She crossed her arms and giggled over how brilliant she thought her plan was. She yelled out "Hey, wait up Natsu and by the way you are paying for me to make up for dragging me!" as she was waving her hand at Natsu to make sure she saw her as she ran towards him.
As they headed out to eat all the guild members begun talking about which members should participate in this year's game, "Obviously Laxus should be a competitor in this year's games" said a man with green hair, Freed, that was staring in admiration at a built man with yellow hair, Laxus. "Yeah, he would show the other clans what a real Man is!" said a man with gray hair, Elfman. A woman, with brown wavy hair, that is, wearing a green dress, Evergreen starts hitting the man with gray hair on the head. "What was that for Ever," whined Elfman. "How many times do I have to tell you to stop with that Man crap Elfman! Are you really that dense?!" argued Evergreen as she proceeded to hitting Elfman.
Noticing Evergreen hitting Elfman, guild members nearby tried to stop the conflict. Away from the situation at a different part of the guild were two children, one with a white cat, talking about who they believe should be in the upcoming games. "Hey, Romeo do you think Natsu should be one of the competitors?" asked the little girl. "Of course Wendy! Natsu is my idol, if anyone in this guild could win the tournament for Fairy Tail at the Grand Magic Games it would be him" exclaimed Romeo with a burning passion about seeing his idol win the games again. "I agree Natsu should participate in the games, he is very confident plus he got much stronger from the events between Tartarus trying to use face and the fight against the dark cult Avatar" motioned Wendy as she finished with a bright smile. "You two are right if anyone in the guild were to participate in the games and win it would be Natsu, he has made it through incredibly difficult situations and created positive outcomes well, most of the time…" Wendy and Romeo smile at the white cat and in unison said "See Natsu is the perfect choice Carla."
As they continued praising Natsu and his abilities, a man at a nearby table overheard the children and Carla and laughed to himself. This man had metal piercings around his face and wore dark garments with some metal pieces on them along with black boots, Gajeel. The man said to himself "Heh, Salamander surely has some fans, but I will definitely be one of the five in the games since I'm stronger than him gihi." Once he stopped laughing he notices a girl wearing an orange dress, Levy, by his table looking at him. "Did I piss you off or something what's with the stupid look," complained the studded man. "No, I just overheard what you said! And was somewhat curious on how you didn't know you were speaking aloud" retorted the girl in orange. Gajeel thought to himself "What! I said that out loud!" but contained a cool demeanor and retaliates back with "Ok what about it little girl? You shouldn't eavesdrop on people anyways."
"I'm not a little girl Gajeel!" As she began hitting Gajeel in a cute way that did not seem to hurt him in any which way, when she cooled down, she proceeded "Anyways, I eavesdropped because I agreed with you and thought you should be one of the competitors in games" explained the girl in orange as she blushed a little and proceeded to sit by Gajeel, while two mages, one being lean with orange hair, Jet, and the other being plump with a green shirt, Droy, were staring at Gajeel with ferocious envy.
The two continued to chat and bicker about the Grand Magic Games and who Fairy Tail should pick. While they were doing that Cana looked towards the other side of the guild to search for Gildarts. She realizes he must have left the guild a little after the master made the announcement about the meeting for the games. So she takes a huge gulp from her barrel and walked over to the area Gildarts was at and asked Mira, the guild member who served Gildarts his beer, where he was headed. Mira responded "he said he was headed home, he left a bit after Natsu left" as she gave off a radiating smile. Cana gave a smile back and said "Thank you, I'll see you around later, then." Mira and Cana nodded to each other, then Cana left the guild in search of Gildarts as she walked towards his house she began rehearsing her apology for being so harsh to him.
The guild continued to make a ruckus over which guild members would represent Fairy Tail in the games. So far the most popular choices are Gildarts, Laxus, Natsu, Gray, and Gajeel.
