Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail or Vocaloid
Summary: Fairy Tail decided to join the Grand Magic Games, again. This time, they were determined to win for the second time in order to get the prize to rebuilt back their guild's formal glory.
Makarov came back to the guild after a meeting with the council. Of course, the guild was noisy and rowdy as usual. Natsu, Gray, Elfman, Gajeel were fighting while Elfman shouted about being a man. Cana was holding her 'boyfriend' tightly as usual. Lucy, Levy, Wendy, Lissanna were playing with the 3 exceeds. Erza's eyes were twinkling while looking at her strawberry cake.
Mira spotted the master and she waved. "Welcome back, Master. Is there any news?"
He sighed and went to sit at his usual spot on the bar. "The usual, Master?" He nodded and soon he was drunk again. The funny thing is, this time he got some important stuff to say after he got drunk.
"Brats, listen up! If we were going -hic- to be stronger than before -hic- to beat that Zeref's ass, then we have to get jewels! Lots! And I decided that we will -hic- join the upcoming Great Magic Games!"
"Huh?"
"Ji-chan, are you sure?"
"Yosh, I'm fired up!"
"What does getting stronger has to do with money?!"
"Now, we should start a training camp to make sure we are in tip top condition during the games!"
Lucy looked at the notice board at the bar. After months of harsh training and going on tons of jobs with Natsu and others, the guild chose the best five to be joining the games. She scanned the names that were chosen by the Master. Natsu came and wrapped his arms around Lucy's shoulders.
"Who gets on the team, Lucy?"
"Lushi, you have been looking at the board for a long time now."
Lucy turned to face Natsu and smiled. She wanted to make sure the hard training that she and Natsu didn't go to waste. She knew Natsu wanted to be on the best five to join the games. He always wanted a good fight. So he won't let this opportunity to go to waste.
"Take a good look for yourself, Natsu."
The dragon slayer turned and read out the names himself, "The ones that will go to the Great Magic Games are Erza, Gray, Natsu, Lucy, Wendy, Mira, Gajeel, Laxus, Juvia, Elfman."
"How come there are so many people for best five?"
"Natsu, we will exchange members in case some of us got hurt a lot."
"Yosh, I'm fired up! Lucy, let's win this and join the games together!"
She can't help herself but smile. When Happy noticed, he started to roll his tongue, "You likeeeeeeeee him!"
"Shut up, stupid cat!"
While Lucy was chasing Happy around, Gray was sitting on a bar stool and drinking. Mira flashed her usual smile and said, "Well, I hoped that we will bring a complete victory to Fairy Tail."
They reached the venue after few hours of riding an airborne ship. Once they reached the ground, Natsu didn't hesitate to kiss the ground, "Sweet old ground!" Lucy just hit him on his head and shouted, "Stop it, it's embarrassing!"
"Well, well, if it isn't good old Natsu!" Sting and Rogue appeared and looked like they just reached the destination, still carrying their baggage. Frosch and Lector greeted the 3 exceeds and they started to mumble nonsense. Natsu grinned at Sting and asked, "So, how's everything?"
"Good. We've been through lots of training and this time, I'm sure that I can beat you!"
"Yosh, I'm fired up! Bring it, Sting!"
They decided to walked to the dorms prepared for all the participating guilds together. On the way, they saw Lyon and Sherria who were doing some shopping around the town. Sherria and Wendy hugged each other and started to chat about the time when Wendy joined Lamia Scale. Lyon and Gray started to fight about who were more worthy to be with Juvia.
Then while Lucy still sweat dropping at the usual fighting they were all doing, she saw a familiar teal haired girl walking around with a pink haired lad. Without hesitation, she called out her name, "Miku!"
Miku was walking around town with Luki and all in a sudden, she heard a familiar voice calling out for her. She looked carefully at the voice's direction and breaking into a huge smile, she ran towards Lucy, "Lucy! Long time no see!"
Natsu turned to see Lucy and a unfamiliar girl hugged each other. A hint of jealousy can be seen on his face. "How I wished it was me hugging Lucy right now." he silently thought. Then he made his way towards his partner, trying to listen what they were talking about happily.
"Lucy, I heard Fairy Tail finally got back. I am really happy for you."
"Thanks, Miku. Though I'm sorry I haven't reply your last letter."
"Nah, no biggies. I am quite busy myself too. Being occupied with performances and even a new guild."
"Guild? Miku, you joined a guild?" Miku flashed a cute smile and put a thumbs up, "Yup. Hey Luki ni-chan, come. I will introduce you to my friend that I met during an interview."
The pink haired lad with a headphone on his head came nearer to Miku and Lucy and said, "Nice to meet you. Any friend of Miku is a friend of mine. The name's Luki Megurine, from a new mage guild called Vocaloid."
Natsu finally chirped in without caring about manners and grinned, "Hey! I'm Natsu Dragneel, Lucy's partner!" Luki looked at Natsu and smiled, "Nice to meet you, Natsu. I must comment what you did at last year's Great Magic Games were very daring."
The fire dragon slayer just laughed out loud. Miku was giggling and she whispered to Lucy, "Hey, this must be the 'idiot' that you fall in love with, right?" Her whisper was caught by Natsu's sensitive ears and he started to blushed, "Lucy, love me?"
Lucy got so shy that she hissed at Miku, "Miku! Don't say that! He might heard that!" Then Miku stopped her giggling and took a hand out, "Hi Natsu, I'm Miku Hatsune from Vocaloid. Also a pop diva." Natsu shook her hand and looked at Lucy shyly. Lucy just avoided his gaze.
"Miku Hatsune?" Mira heard and once she saw the pop diva, she shouted, "OMG! IT'S REALLY MIKU IN THE FLESH! I'M YOUR BIGGEST FAN!" making others sweat dropped at Mira's behaviour.
"Hoi, Mira! It's not like you to be like a silly fan girl!"
"Being a fan is a man!"
"Fairies! We should get to the dorms and unpack before we take a walk around town! And tonight midnight will be the prelimanary round!" Erza barked, making even members from other guilds flinched.
After saying farewell to the other guilds, Fairy Tail went to unpacked their stuffs.
After they all getting prepared and settled down to dinner, they saw other familiar faces at the dorms' dining hall and greeted. "Yo Erza, long time no see." "Same goes to you too, Minerva."
"Sniff sniff, Erza's parfum is the best."
"Blue Pegasus, at your service!" Hibiki, Eve, Ren all posed a cool one and proceeded to woo all the female mages. Jenny ran straight to Mira and shouted, "Let's see who gets the most popular among men this year!"
The members from Mermaid Heel also made their way to the dining hall. Millienna hugged Erza tight and shouted about how much she missed her. Kagura with her usual cool face just shrugged when the 3 men from Blue Pegasus tried to woo her. Soon, a huge fight started, dragging most of the mages into it.
The night was getting late and everyone in the dorm got exhausted. In order to prepare for the preliminary round, they went back to their respective rooms and waiting for the rules explanation.
The clock struck midnight. Then fireworks started to bloom in the sky, signalling the start of the Great Magic Games. From their windows, they can see a floating object and after observing it properly, they saw it was actually a floating and talking bunny, holding a loudspeaker and announced, "The Great Magic Games officially starts now! I'm the host of the year, Bunbun! Now, allow me to explain the rules of the preliminary round!"
"Only the first 6 guilds will be able to pass this round! The other guild who failed, just scram!"
"The whole town will be the battleground. Each team will have to go through some trials that were set up around and race to the finish line at the stadium! Remember, only the first 6 teams! Ready, Go!"
All the teams of five from all participating guilds ran out from their dorm and rushed to the finish line as fast as possible. Team Fairy Tail who currently have Natsu, Lucy, Gray, Juvia, Erza for this round ran and tried to avoid the trials. A lot of other guilds tried to stall them but of course, Natsu easily fend them off with his Wing Slash of Fire Dragon.
"How I wish we got Jet for this race, it was tiring to run!"
"Lucy, watched out!"
Ice almost hit Lucy and were saved by none other than Natsu himself. Gray hissed at the culprit Lyon and shouted, "Quit it, Lyon! And you won't have Juvia!" Juvia have hearts on her eyes and Lyon just tched at Gray and rushed to his destination.
"Come, we are almost there!"
"Gray-sama, your clothes!"
"There's no time to worry about my clothes, let's settle this!"
After getting lost and passing certain trials that required them to solve riddles or sort, they finally found a big banner written FINISH LINE.
Bunbun clapped its bunny paws and said, "Congratulations, Team Fairy Tail! You are the second to reach the finish line!"
"Oww, so close to get first!"
"Who got first?"
"I, Bunbun, will reveal all this later." They all sighed and sat down to catch their breaths. Then they saw Sabertooth came in third, Blue Pegasus came in fourth, Lamia Scale came in fifth and Mermaid Heel came in last.
"Finally, the first six guilds made it to the finish line! All others, you all can stop what you were doing and be the spectator of the opening ceremony!"
They all roared. Then the first six teams went to the backstage to freshen up. Everyone congratulating each other and suddenly a question came out, "Who was first?"
"We don't know, we didn't see any other guilds other than us five."
"Is it a trick by the host?" They just shrugged and most of them started to get back to their own waiting rooms. A vision lacrima were installed in each of the waiting room and they started to see the opening speech of the host.
"Hello everyone! We just finished our preliminary round and gosh, how awesome it was! We have concluded our six guild that will participate all other rounds for five consecutive days onward! But first, I will introduce the line of judges and commentators! First up is our very own Jura!"
Jura bowed and sat at the seat prepared for the judges. Then Bunbun continued, "Next is Yajima! Who was the previous member of the council!" Yajima came out and proceed to sit down next to Jura.
"Last but not least, our very own beloved princess, Princess Hisui!" Princess came out and bowed to all the spectators and sat down.
"Now will be the moment you all waiting for, and I will not waste anymore time to introduce to you all the top six team that will battle at this very ring for the next five days!"
"The team ranked sixth is an all girl guild, yes everyone you all guessed it, it's Mermaid Heel!" Cheers and wolf whistles can be heard all around the arena. "And you all can see, Team Mermaid Heel consists of Kagura, Millianna, Risley, Arana and Beth!"
The five mermaids, sat down at one of the six corners at the stage.
"Now, the team ranked fifth is one of the fearsome guild that Jura was from, Lamia Scale! We can see from here that their team consist of Sherria, Lyon, Yuka, Toby, and Mimi!"
"Who's Mimi?" Millianna asked Kagura and she just answered, "I heard she was a mage specialise in using needles."
"If you can smell some perfume, you can guess it! The fourth team is from Blue Pegasus! The perfume culprit was none other than Ichiya, then there are Ren, Eve, Hibiki and lovely Jenny!"
"The third team was used to be the champion of the Great Magic Games, until their title was taken by last two year's champion, let's welcome Sabertooth! Coming in are Sting, Rogue, Yukino, Orga, Rufus!"
"Drum roll please, as the second team was one of the most destructive guild ever in history, and always make the council headache with the damage they have done. They got disbanded and finally rising up back few months back. They are also the ones who took the champion title from Sabertooth. Please welcome, Fairy Tail!" The whole crowd roared even much louder compared to other guild's introduction. Lucy was touched by the huge response they got. Natsu grinned and wrapped his arms around Lucy, making her blushed.
"There they are, Natsu the Salamander, who crashed last year's champion in a blow! Then there are Lucy, Gray, Juvia, and our own titania, Erza!"
The cheers and roars make the host have to shout many times, asking them to calm down. After they all finally settle down, the host cleared his throat, said, "Now you all must be wondering who was the first team that passed the finish line. The previous and promising champions were already here, so who surpass them? Even I'm fairly surprised as this first team is just a new guild that got registered to the council few weeks ago!"
The five teams that sat on the stage looked at each other, wondering who could it be. Bunbun then shouted so loudly that the crowd might go deaf after this, "PLEASE WELCOME, TEAM VOCALOID!"
Once the teal haired diva stepped out from the backstage, the whole crowd went crazy and cheered so loud that the whole Fiore might collapsed. The spectators waved their hands and started to chant the pop diva's name, "MIKU! MIKU! MIKU!"
"Woah, no joke! This Miku girl really is popular!" Gray shook his head in disbelief. Lucy just smiled and said, "She is the first singer that has a huge popularity across the whole region. Some even concludes she was also popular across the whole world."
"How come Juvia does not know?"
"The crowd's love towards her is like my love towards strawberry cake."
"Is her magic powerful? I'm fired up!"
The host looked embarrassed as he doesn't know much about the other team members other than Miku. Then he passed the loudspeaker to Miku, "Miku-san, can you be so kind to introduce your team? I don't think I remembered their faces and names." Miku nodded and took the loudspeaker, "We are Team Vocaloid! I'm Miku Hatsune." Then she passed the loudspeaker to Luki, "I'm Luki Megurine. This is my twin sister Luka Megurine." Then again he passed the loudspeaker to a blonde haired girl, "I'm Rin Kagamine! This here is my twin brother, Ren!"
The crowd cheered again. Then Lucy waved at Miku while Miku who saw it waved back at her.
"Now, I will announce the first day's event, and it consist of 2 rounds. The first round's theme is Power! Then as usual, the second round will be a 1 versus 1 battle! So, that's all for the opening ceremony! Top six! Please go and take your much needed rest! Tomorrow will be a long day! So long everyone!"
