It had been nice to step out of the suit, even if it was only in the confinements of the room she was staying in. Currently, Freya was meditating with her eyes closed. She thought of everything that happened in her life that led to what it is now.

Frosteria had raised her and taught her magic. She gave her an education and taught her survival skills. Then after her disappearance, Freya was left alone in the icy tundra until she was found by some hunters, who brought her to their village. Growing up in the north had been tough, no doubt about it. Her resistance to the cold helped immensely but the cold wasn't the only thing problem to be faced. Still the tough lifestyle gave her valuable lessons. Frosteria may have taught her magic and helped her survive as a child, but the small village taught her martial arts, and how to be as serene as the northern lights.

The breath got knocked right out of her, before the hand that rammed into her stomach moved and suddenly she was sprawled face first into the fluffy snow. A thirteen year old Freya Icewing looked up wide eyed at her mentor Raul, who shook his head and looked down at her. "Freya, how many times have I told you? You may have power due to your dragon-slaying magic, but brute force is useless if you charge in guns or in this case, ice blazing. You cannot lunge at me, you cannot hope that pure force alone will win your battles."

"S-Sorry Raul…"

He sighed and helped her up, before kneeling in front of her and ruffling her hair. "You wield ice, you know. Not fire. Look around you. Ice is calm and in order to use the ice, you must be just as calm as it."

At fifteen, she left the ice village. As much as the place felt like a home that gave her some happiness after losing Frosteria, she knew she couldn't stay cooped up there forever. You're a dragon, spread your wings Raul had told her before she left. She smiled, and let herself fall backwards onto her back. Maybe she'll bring Lulu and Lia there with her one day. It has been a while since she's been home…

During her traveling she had decided to find a guild. She wandered around for a while until she stopped into a nice town. She certainly had looked like an outsider, stubbornly wearing her thick coat with a heavy hood and fur boots. The guild in that town happened to be Blue Pegasus and at first she initially had her doubts on it. She saw how glamorous it was and how pretty the wizards inside were. She grew up knowing only practicality. Master Bob however spotted her and had her witness some of the magic the mages wielded. That was enough to brush away her doubts and ask to join.

(The female wizards fawned over her dark violet hair and were quite horrified that she wasn't familiar with the idea of clothes shopping. Let's just say she was kidnapped by several Blue Pegasus women)

Around that time she found the exceed egg that contained Lulu. Her bewilderment at a cat popping out of an egg was quickly replaced with child-like glee. Much later when she was seventeen she met Lia, who was ten at the time, when she first joined the guild. Master Bob asked Freya to look after the newest and youngest member on her first few jobs, and to this day the dragon-slayer was positive he planned to make them friends from the start. They formed a team they fondly nicknamed the Frozen-Rose Duo (to represent both of their magic) and despite the cheesy name, they wouldn't pick any other one.

Freya let out a heavy sigh at the memories and looked over at the bunny suit with disdain. She really wasn't looking forward to stuffing herself in it again for the next couple of days, but she was no complainer.

"It's the second day of the games, and the competition event Chariot is ongoing!"

This event was something else. It was a long path of connected yet moving chariots, and the goal was to make it to the finish line. But…Freya honestly took one look at it and tried not to feel nauseous at the thought of being on it. Motion sickness was an embarrassing weakness for the S-Class wizard and it was why she traveled pretty much everywhere on foot.

Then again, seeing the last three in the race started to make her feel better about herself. "Oh, they don't look so good." Eve chuckled watching Sting, Natsu, and Gajeel look ready to hurl all over the place. They barely moved at all while everyone else was way ahead. If they knew they had motion sickness, then why would they participate in an event called Chariot? And…is this a dragon-slayer thing? Motion sickness? I really don't know how to feel about that, but at least I'm not the only one!

"COOL! THEY ALL HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON!" She winced, forgetting that the reporter Jason was the guest commentator. He often went to Blue Pegasus due to its reputation of having models, and followed her around wanting to get a picture of the 'mysterious' ice wizard of the guild. The only thing he received was a judo flip over the shoulder. To be fair he had received many warnings from herself and the others to not pester her.

"It'd be funny if they all puked at the same time!"

"Lulu! That's just evil!"

Well it's nice to know her exceed was having a blast watching this. Forgetting about the last three, she turned her attention to the leading competitors. Raven Tail's Kurohebi was in the lead and quite frankly he freaked her out. Perhaps it was a theme among that guild to have a creepiness factor. Ichiya was right behind him. Despite not being the most physically fit, it was good he was able to keep up. Risley of Mermaid Heel and Yuka of Lamia Scale were pretty close behind though, while Bacchus was lagging behind just a bit. Her eyes narrowed upon seeing him. Quarto Cerberus's own S-Class was no joke, and it was quite surprising to see him in the games.

She had an encounter with him before, and it didn't end so well. Despite often being in a drunken state he was said to have rivaled Titania seven years ago and now? Well he was no doubt just as strong.

Yuka finally put his wave magic to use, propelling himself like a rocket while hoping to take away any magic of those behind him.

Risley, finally having enough, activated her gravity magic and proceeded to run along the sides. She moved quite fast for a woman of her size but her declarations of, "Don't look down on the chubby!" cleared anyone's doubts. Gravity magic was tricky to use but highly useful. It was an underrated magic considering it wasn't as outrageous as elemental magic, or as flashy as reequip. Really it could lead to one becoming a powerhouse itself with the mastery of gravity. She could win this actually if it wasn't for the loud exclamation of "MEN!" behind her.

Ichiya took two vials of his perfume and practically shoved them up his nose, inhaling the scents deeply before suddenly taking off like a rocket. "Fleet Foot Perfume: Zero Distance Inhalation!" It was a little scary how fast he took off leaving Yuka and Risley in the dust. Cheers erupted from the Trimen as Freya curiously took another look at the lagging dragon-slayers. Still looked as if they were dying.

Suddenly a large crash sounded, and was sounded like the loud creaking of wood thrashed around making her turn her attention back to the race. One upside to this costume was that it hid her face and by extension, the flabbergasted look on her face as Bacchus ran forward with wrecked chariots behind him.

Yeah, no doubt just as strong!

"Shaking yeah!" he howled, sliding through the finished lines proudly.

"Quatro Cerberus receives ten points!"

Freya winced looking at the disheveled participants leftover and to her dismay saw Kurohebi getting closer to the finish line. Just as she was about to look away, everyone in the crowd suddenly squawked with surprise as the snake-like man made a scrunched up face, before clamping a hand over his nose. He nearly fell over as he started coughing (really, it sounded more like retching). "Armpit Perfume! As disgusting and revolting as it is, I can forgive myself for using this just once!" Ichiya declared, waving it about as he sped past Kurohebi and came in second.

"Wow, Ichiya-sama is amazing!" Eve remarked as the rest of the Trimen nodded in agreement. Then the three of them looked right at her and she quickly struck a flamboyant victory pose. They gave her thumbs up seeing what she was saying and looked back at the event. Yuka used his wave magic to power on through the gross smell coming in third, while Risley at the last second used Gravity Magic on Kurohebi to make him stay where he was so she could snatch fourth place. The Raven Tail miserably made fifth but at least he wasn't the last three still far behind.

This has to be embarrassing for Sabertooth Freya thought, watching as her sickly feeling came back. Don't hurl in the suit, don't hurl in the suit she reprimanded herself as she waved to Ichiya coming back, though he looked quite exhausted. Managing to not feel sick just thinking about being on a vehicle, she looked back and sweat-dropped to see Gajeel attempting to ram Natsu into Sting.

Natsu and Gajeel kept moving forward, even though they looked ready to pass out at any given moment. She at least admired their determination but still found it stupid they went into an event called Chariot without giving it another thought.

"Fine I'll give this victory to you. We'll be fine without one or two measly points." Sting groaned giving up saving himself further humiliation. She didn't really blame him, but watched as Natsu and Gajeel still kept going. "But I got to ask, why did you guys enter the games? This would have been unthinkable for Fairy Tail in the past. The Fairy Tail I know does things at its own pace, without worrying about the strength of other guilds…" Sting said, wiping sweat off his forehead.

Why do I feel like he just opened a floodgate asking that?

"It's for our comrades," Natsu growled feebly crawling along. "For seven years they were made fools of but they endured, and protected the guild no matter how tough or sad it was. For our comrades, we'll show you." He wasn't finished yet and Freya observed with a pensive expression on her face.

"Proof that Fairy Tail has kept going, and we'll keep going forward!" He shouted out. She looked over at the stands where his comrades were and saw they were in tears. She sighed and awaited Chariot to finally end so she could see the battles for the day.

"Mister Bunnyman, wake up."

She shot up, nearly knocking over Hibiki as the others looked at her in amusement. Wait a minute…did she fall asleep waiting for the event to finish?! She hit her head against the wall in disappointment and looked over at her team slumped over. "Don't worry, I suppose you're bored stuck in that suit all day." Hibiki chuckled. "You missed Kurohebi vs Toby. It was a good fight, though Raven Tail won." He explained though winced at the memory of the former dark mage ripping apart Toby's sock. What a sadist.

"And right now it is Bacchus vs Elfman."

Ah okay-WAIT WHAT? She looked over the field to see that. The reason she was so shocked was because…well she was expecting Bacchus against Erza. The two had been close in power seven years ago so it seemed reasonable whoever was organizing the matches would put those two together. "The theme going around today is making bets." Ren added on. "So those two made a bet that if Bacchus won, he gets to have Elfman's sisters for a night."

Um…that didn't sound delightful.

"And if Elfman wins, Quatro Cerberus must be called Quatro Puppy for the rest of the games." Okay, she had to hold back a snort on that one. Was it bad she kind of wanted Fairy Tail to win this match? If only to get petty revenge on Bacchus for that one time they crossed paths when he slapped her ass. The only reason a fight didn't break out was because they were in a public area.

She watched the fight and was ready to send a prayer to the Strauss sisters the second she spotted Bacchus take a drink. Alcohol only enhanced his abilities. That is until Bacchus hit Elfman seven times, only to reveal his hands were bruised and cut up. Elfman's lizard-like scales provided adequate armor, and she was genuinely impressed he found a loophole in dealing with Bacchus. He saw he had no chance in hell actually fighting him, so he went to defense. Considering most of the time Fairy Tail won through brute force, it was a nice change to see someone win through wit this time around.

Though seeing the way Bacchus collapsed, she wondered if he just let Elfman have this round. He seemed to be impressed with his spirit so it wasn't too far-fetched. She wouldn't ask though, because she couldn't guarantee she wouldn't try murdering the Drunken Falcon if he tried hitting her ass again.

She stopped wondering seeing Jenny appear. "I think I'll have to take Ichiya's spot, he's worn out from the Chariot event." She hummed in explanation, giving the Bunnyman a glance. "Pretty please tell me who you are?" Freya shook her head and made an X with her arms.

"For the next match, Fairy Tail B's Mirajane Strauss vs Blue Pegasus's Jenny Realight!"

Ah yes, this is actually going to be an interesting fight. Both models beloved by Fiore, one is known for being a demon and the other for being a walking weapon with her Take Over Machina. I could only hope-

(if a record scratch noise could be played here, it would)

Freya internally started screaming in frustration seeing the two begin dressing in skimpy outfits instead of actually fighting. She swore she could hear Lulu in the stands shrieking and most likely covering her eyes. "To think we'd have to use a reserve member on the second day." Hibiki chuckled nervously as Ren groaned.

"We had no choice." That's what you guys focus on?! That's it, Jenny is getting smacked the first chance Freya got. Especially with the next announcement.

"The loser has to pose nude in the Weekly Sorcerer!" Jenny declared, pointing with a triumphant smile on her face. Many nosebleeds started to erupt as Freya stared in complete horror.

Though Jenny was unknowingly causing trauma to one of her guildmates, she did indeed have a plan. She was confident that she would win, as the announcers would not miss a chance to see the pretty and young Mirajane Strauss naked. "The last theme is my battle form!" she declared, powering up before letting her takeover take control. "Take Over: Machina Soul!"

Mira then smiled. "If it's battle, then I should retaliate." Suddenly she began transforming and before anyone knew it, flames erupted at her feet as she entered Satan Soul: Sitri. Jenny looked on in shock, and was still as Mirajane charged at her ready to swipe.

"Suddenly this goes from a bikini contest to a show of strength! Well this is how it's originally done- wait what's going on?!"

Jenny, despite her shock, snapped out of it and dove to the side, effectively dodging the hit from Mirajane. Her heeled armored boots skidded in the sands of the arena, but she was not about to be outdone, not with all the planning she had done! Machina Soul allowed her to not only change into armored suits like the one she wore now, but also utilize heavy machinery as her weapons. Just because Mirajane was a demon doesn't mean she was going to just stomp her out.

She extended her arm out, and the armor on it shifted around until it formed a large cannon of some sort. "You're going to have to try a lot harder than that!" she challenged, firing the cannon right at Mirajane. The latter was able to get out of the way, but when the shot from the cannon crashed into the ground it caused a large explosion.

"HOLY CRAP!"

Freya smirked noting the surprise of the crowd and Fairy Tail. Mirajane followed up with close combat, and Jenny's arm switched from a cannon to a tech-like sword, the demon's clawed hand meeting the machinery. Jenny skidded back several feet and closed one eye due to the sparks flying everywhere due to the collision.

She then lifted one leg, and kicked out at Mirajane's stomach. Though it only caused her to stumble barely a few feet, it gave Jenny time to transform one of her feet into the same kind of blade as her arm but more blunt. She performed a roundhouse kick, knocking Mirajane off her feet. The white haired woman was quick though, and use both arms to grab Jenny's leg. Jenny's arm switched from the weapon it was currently in to a Gatling gun and fired away at Mira who had no choice but to fling her away.

"So…anyone else not expecting this?" One of the announcers said nervously, now quite scared of the two beauties below as they clashed over and over again. Explosions and the sounds of heavy powered machinery, plus the sound of Mirajane's Evil Explosion made everyone wish they had just stuck with a beauty contest. What sounded like aggressive growling and yelling made the both of them sound more like demons, not just Mira! Which was reasonable, considering neither of them actually wanted to pose nude.

"COME ON JENNY!" Lia shouted, holding Lulu who finally uncovered her eyes. The two in the field eventually became exhausted as they had been both pumping out magic attacks faster than anyone could blink. Still they stumbled into a run at each other, both raising armored fists…

Before knocking each other out.

The stadium got so quiet you could hear a pin drop as the two models hit the ground. "It's, it's a d-draw! Neither of them won or lost!" Mourning sounds from some men cried over not being able to see a pretty lady naked in a magazine, but cheers nonetheless broke out. "Both Fairy Tail Team B and Blue Pegasus gets five points!"

Freya couldn't help but cast a smug look at Fairy Tail who no doubt believed Mirajane would win right off the bat, before jumping down from the stands with her team to help get Jenny up. Alright, so maybe I won't smack Jenny.

Later

"O-Ouch, how do I look?"

Jenny asked, as her and Lia both sat in the infirmary. The blonde held an ice bag on her face, and had bandages wrapped around her arms and legs. Her armor usually did an amazing job protecting her, but with how long the fight got and how much they exhausted themselves, injuries were going to occur. There was also going to be some not so lovely bruises from the hard punch she received, but she took comfort in the fact that she gave one right back to Mira before passing out. Lia gave a cheerful smile, offering a glass of water.

"Like a winner! And like a lady who won't have to pose nude for a bunch of perverts!"

"Alright, I'll take that." Jenny laughed taking the glass of water. She had been passed out for a good few hours and while felt sore, she also felt damn proud of herself. She'd never thought she'd hit a draw with Mirajane Strauss, Fairy Tail's demon, but she took it as a good sign. Lia came in with Lulu a few minutes after she woke up with some painkillers, ice, and water. Jenny quickly took the painkillers, wincing at her sore muscles, and washed it down with the water. "Ugh, it's been awhile since I've had to get serious like that. I think I'm getting rusty." Jenny pouted.

Lia took the empty glass and stood up to set it by the sink. "If that's you rusty, then I think we should all be scared to see you fresh." She teased. Jenny would have opened her mouth to tease her back or play along, but the door to the infirmary swung open. Lia paused, holding the glass as she went to see who it was. Much to her surprise, it was a Sabertooth member. He spotted her, and cleared his throat.

"Uh, are you Lia?" Seeing her nod slowly in confusion, he nervously rubbed the back of his head. "I have some news to tell you." He looked right at her with a bit of regret.

"Dobengal had to be put in the infirmary, he's injured. Bad."

The glass slipped from her hand, dropping to the floor in pieces.

"Arcadios, I can't believe you mixed up Elfman and Erza."

"My apologies, your majesty. It was a mistake on my part. To make it up, is there any other matches you'd like to see?" The king had to think for a moment. While he had been eager to see Titania in action, there was another famed Fairy Tail member he wouldn't mind seeing.

"Well…I've heard a lot about the Salamander of Fairy Tail. He used to cause quite a bit of trouble, I think I should like to see him in action. As for who to put him against, I'm dying to know who is in that bunny costume Blue Pegasus has."

It was safe to say most were dying to know, so Arcadios gave a swift nod. "It shall be done. One of the confirmed matches for tomorrow will be Fairy Tail A's Natsu Dragneel vs Blue Pegasus's…Bunnyman."

I sort of wanted to reveal a little more on Freya so that was the purpose of the beginning part (also to explain the title of the story too!). Anyways, while I've been doing some changes, from here on out prepare for different matches from canon. It's always made me uncomfortable to be honest how...easily everyone from other guilds get defeated which is why the Jenny and Mirajane fight turned out different.

And if you guessed Dobengal is Lia's boyfriend, then you're CORRECT! :D

Thank you for the reviews and for reading!
