"Alright, this is just a little spar to show the new kid some fu—"

"FIRE DRAGON'S ROAR!"

A comical sweat drop fell from the Fairy Tail's Master as the start of the fight hadn't even been announced and yet Natsu was already on the attack. Grimacing at that fact, Makarov simply held his hand up before dropping it down.

"... Fight.."

Dropping to the ground and rolling across the terrain to avoid being scorched, the purplenette known as Kanade was well prepared for the surprise attack. A slight, toothy grin placed upon her features before she pushed her heels into the ground to sprint towards the Fire Dragon Slayer. With his own grin, Natsu slammed his fists together, a red magic seal appearing directly after. Fists now set ablaze, Natsu squatted down, then propelled himself forward to meet the female; his right arm cocked back. Mimicking his actions, the twoseemingly met in the middle of the fighting area, both swinging their fists simultaneously.

"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"

"Fist Impact!"

The entire area shook from the collision, an explosion occurring in the result of the two attacks connecting to one another. As the cloud of smoke subsided, a deep trench was seen in the terrain. Following it to the left, Natsu was seen smacked against a boulder. Birds comically flying around his head, and Kanade standing at her original position. A stream of smoke flowing from her fist, in which she proceeded to shake it quickly.

"That's what you get for thinking I couldn't handle a hand-to-hand contest!-ow ow ow!"

"Winner of the first fight, Kanade!"

With a frightened expression, Nexis glanced over at Natsu before looking over at Kanade; who happened to look at him at the same time. Flashing a cheesy grin, she threw up a peace signat the unknown male.

"White Eclipse or second place, weird guy!— huh? Where'd he go?"

Makarov and Calium glanced around before hearing an "eep" from below. Both looking at each other, the two Guild Masters glanced down to see the black haired male squatted below the desk.

"Is the scary chick still looking at me..? I don't want her to punch me.."

"Er.. She means no harm... She's just excited to see you here..! Now, come on. The next fight is about to begin."

Calium helped the poor lad back to his seat before sighing heavily at Kanade. Rubbing the back of her head, the purplenette walked back to her seat, her arms loosely dangling forward as if she had been defeated by her own Guild Master's sigh.

Dragging Natsu back over to their section, Lucy and Levy huffed out from the unconscious body bag that they had to drag.

"Lu-chan, why does he always get so over-excited?"

"Nani? Don't ask me! He's always been like this, Levy. And.. Shouldn't you be worried about someone else, than Natsu?"

"Eh? Ehhhh? EH?!"

Tightening the headband around his forehead, a large smirk was placed upon rugged features. Pierced eyebrows rose to noticing a strong opponent was coming up. His signature 'Gihi' escaping out as the Iron Dragon Slayer made his way out to the arena.

"Oi, you're the Ace of Black Phoenix, right?"

Cracking his knuckles, the Dragon Slayer scoffed lowly.

"This is gonna be fun."

Making his own way into the arena, Tristan, the light brown haired male turned back towards Anri and Leon. Who both gave him a nod before the ace smiled back at them. As Gajeel Redfox spoke out towards him, Tristan closed his eyes and quiet; though, he was simply calming his breathing. This ticked the Iron Dragon Slayer off to no extent.

"Oi! I'm talkin' to you, bastard! The hell you giving me the silent treatment for?!"

Glaring at the male before him, his expression quickly changed from anger to shock as Tristan reopened his eyes; complete concentration complimented with a glare sent towards the Dragon Slayer.

"Excuse my rudeness..."

Drifting off in speech, a silver aura of magic flourished around the SS-Class Mage. An entire suit of armor was manifested onto the male's body, and he added a long blade to go with it. Gripping the hilt tightly, Tristan maneuvered his feet until he was set in his fighting stance.

"I, Tristan Gareth, shall put you down, Dragon Slayer."

Eyes widened, but not by who you thought. Leaning over in his seat, Leon Shi's face had the widest grin on it, his eyes sparkling with excitement from how serious his ace seemed to be. As for Gajeel, he let out a soft chuckle before his own skin was encased in iron scales, his arm morphing into a large, iron sword.

"Well then, let's see how this goes down, shall we? Will you slay the dragon, or will the dragon devour you?!"

"Alright, alright! This is nothing but a spar, you two. Considering who serious you two seem to be, I'm putting a ten minute time limit on all of these fights. Alright, ready! Fight!"

At the sound of Makarov's voice, the small blades on the outside of his own sword began to rev up like a chainsaw. Charging forward, the Dragon Slayer drug his blade against the ground; ripping it up before meeting up with his opponent. Tristan, never moved from his position until Gajeel came rushing in; his blade swinging upwards. Bringing his blade slightly above his head, Tristan brought his own hand back down quickly to strike it against Gajeel's own blade. With the strength behind Tristan's attack, Gajeel's arm swung back down, only for his face to meet Tristan's boot. Sending the Dragon Slayer skidding across the ground.

"Tch.."

A small fit of irritation was sounded off by the Dragon Slayer from Tristan's counter-attack. Wiping his lip, Gajeel morphed his arm back to normal, then brought that same arm across his body and rested it against his hip. Everyone was confused as to what was happening, but it was answered when his arm took shape of a sword again. This time, a long-bladed katana.

"I didn't know he could do that?"

Happy chimed in while tilting his head over at Levy and Pantherlily. Pantherlily grinned widely and nodded.

"He's been working on it for some time. This sword fits his speed the best!"

Gray and Erza stood side by side, glancing down at the fight taking place. Erza turned her head and stared off to the sky. At that moment, all the guild masters did the exact same. No one noticing of course, but Gray turned to Erza, confused at her action.

"Yo, Erza, what's wrong?"

"Ah.. Nothing. Just thought I felt something.."

Leon glanced over at Anri, then over to Makarov and Caluim. All four nodding to each other. Something just wasn't right...

[Over to Sabertooth]

"Three cheers to our new members! HIP HIP! HOORRRAAYYYY!"

Everyone throwing their glasses into the air, Sting Eucliffe, the Guild Master of Sabertooth led the cheer as the party had just begun. Everyone conversing with the new recruits of late. Rogue and Rufus was seen with Mana, a bluenette that had a big heart with a bust size to match. Orga was seen hoisting Shane up to his shoulders, the boy had blonde hair, red eyes, and was the most excited child around. Pushing her older brother over, Nashi, a green haired female was attempting to tell Orga not to throw a child around. And there was another recruit someone...

Heading out to the balcony, the White Dragon Slayer met up with the Territory Queen herself, who was staring out into the sky.

"Something wrong, Milady?"

"Sting? Oh, no, nothing particularly. Something just feels a bit off in the land. I feel as though change is going to happen.. Very soon."

"I know what you m—"

"But isn't change a wonderful thing?"

The two Sabertooth mages turned their heads to the interrupting party member that came out right behind Sting without his knowing. Which, in result, kind of made him feel uncomfortable that he didn't sense him.

"I mean, change can be a wonderful thing! Isn't that what we humans— Er.. We people enjoy to do the most?"

"... Right..."

Sting replied out, Minerva staying silent, yet narrowing her eyes towards the male; making her feel uneasy as well. Shaking his head, Sting had to be a good guild master, I mean, a new recruit was right in front of him.

"You're right! By the way, I know you're new so forgive me for forgetting your name... What was it again?"

"My name?"

The raven haired male grinned quite sadistically, red eyes illuminating in the night sky.

"My name... Is Dios."
