Chapter 4
Domus Flau
The entire arena are stunned in silence as they looked at the guild known as the Akatsuki. There power were so great that even Jura slightly cowered in fear, along with a few of the Sabertooth mages. Makarov also seemed to be afraid he then looked towards the First Master, and was shocked that she also had a look of fear on her face.
"I never felt such a power before" Mavis said fearfully.
Erza got a good look at the masked individuals and she feels as those she meet them before. One of the male masked individuals wore an orange mask with one eye hole in form of spiral (Tobi Mask) the man also had messy black hair. The second male had a white and red wolf mask (Anbu Mask) the man also black longer, but it was a bit longer than his friend. The third one from Erza can tell was a female due to figure being noticeable under her cloak, the women also wore a white and red mask but it was a cat mask, the women also had short light blue hair.
The third male individual had a straw hat on (that hat he wore in his first appearance, I don't know what those are called I'm sorry). The final man just had his on obscuring his face.
The spiral masked individual, looked around at the other guilds and the crowd. That was when he spoke up.
"Wow there are so many people, they look pretty scary don't you think Yahiko, Konan" the masked man said all giggly, looking at his other masked teammates. The other two masked individuals the male called Yahiko and the female Konan simply looked at their team spoke.
"Tobi please calm yourself we're in public" Konan said. Yahiko simply remained silent and did not say anything to his teammate.
"Jeez you two are no fun" the one known as Tobi said.
The entire were kind of confused on this guild, they possess great power and yet one of their members appears to be very child like.
"Ne Obito-senpai, Itachi-senpai, these two need to lighten up right" Tobi asked like a child. The two hooded figures also remained silent not giving an answer.
"Why are you guys always so gloomy" Tobi complained.
"Oh yeah, we have to introduce ourselves hello everybody I'm Tobi and this my guild the Akatsuki" Tobi cheered. The entire arena sweatdropped from this everyone thinking you can not be serious right now.
"Tobi that's enough the Games are about to start" Konan said.
"Okay party popper" Tobi complied. Tobi then went back to being silent.
"Well now thats out of way how we settled this Yajima-san there's an odd number of teams the matches won't be even now" Chapati told his fellow announcer.
"Well I guess in mostly likely scenario the two Fairy Tail teams have to merge at some point during the Games, but until then I guess we have to one team sit out for the versus matches until this is sorted out" Yajima said.
"Okay I guess we will be competing with 9 teams this year now let's begin the Grand Magic Games" Chapati shouted. This announcement caused the crowd cheer loudly, but in the arena the other teams were eyeing the Akatsuki. After some time each team went to their respect balconies. Mato then appeared in the center of the arena to announce the game for today.
"Okay each team send in one of your teammates to compete" Mato announced.
Each team had decided who they are sending in, Mato had decided to announce the competitors.
"Okay for Today's Games, from Sabertooth we have Rufus Lore" Mato said, Rufus introduction got a cheer from the crowd.
"From Quatro Cerberus we have Jager" A tall muscular man entered the ring.
"From Lamia Scale Lyon Vastia"
"For Mermaid Heel we have Beth Vanderwood"
"Participating for Raven Tail Nullpudding"
"For Blue Pegasus we got Eve Term" Eve introduction got a loud cheer from his fan club.
"For Fairy Tail A we have Gray Fullbuster"
"For Fairy Tail B Juvia Lockser"
"Gray-sama I'm coming my love" Juvia called out. This caused Gray's face to go completely red with embarrassment, but he brushed it off.
"And finally from Akatsuki we have Konan"
All 9 participants are now in the ring prepared for the game. Mato then went to explain the game which he called Hidden. He explain what the game. All participant gave a nod understanding the game and are ready to begin. After that a flash of light appeared inside the stadium after the light disappeared. There was now a large city in the arena. The participants were pretty shocked on what happened. Each participant was teleported to a different part of the city.
"What hell, Juvia Lyon" Gray called.
'Everyone disappeared" Juvia said as she looked around.
"I see..so that's the idea" Lyon said as he realized how the game worked.
""Hide and seek here" Eve said.
"Where should I hide" Beth wondered.
Nullpudding, Rufus, and Konan all had silent reactions to what happened.
"This is weird way to play hide and seek? Nobody's the "Seeker"" Jaeger questioned.
"Now ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy the event through Lacrima vision. The nine participants don't know what the others are doing. The rules of Hidden are simple. All participants are hiders and seekers." Chapati announced.
"What does that mean" Elfman questioned hearing the announcement.
"Find each other in this town. You can use any kind of magic, to attack your opponent, it doesn't matter how much damage is dealt, the attacker will always get 1 point. While the person who was attacked would lose a point." Chapati said explaining the rules of the game. As he said this another weird thing happened.
"What is this" Gray questioned as copies of the other participants all appeared near him. The same was happening across the entire town, copies of every participant appeared.
"One more if you attack a copy, you will lose a point" Chapati explained.
"Now let the Game Begin" Chapati announced
As expected Juvia was the first one to lose a point as she jumped onto the closest Gray copy.
"Gray-sama" Juvia said as she clung to a copy. When she did this she was then transported to a different part of the town.
"Also, when a participant is attacked, or if they attack a copy, they will be transported to a different part of the town" Chapati said.
"Looks like Juvia will be at a disadvantage" Mira said with a smile.
"If I knew it would be like this I would have entered" Laxus said.
"As long as it's within the time limit, you can restart as many times as you want. The time limit is 30 minutes and at the end the team with the most points will be in first place" Chapati explained.
After that announcement Gray was running around town frustrated that he couldn't find anyone.
"Damn it, in this competition its harder to find someone than it is to hide" Gray complained.
"Oh I don't know about that" said a voice that was behind Gray. This caused to Gray to turn around and in surprise he saw that it was Raven Tail's NullPudding.
"You should try to grasp the rules better Fairy" Nullpudding mocked.
"Who the hell are you" Gray asked.
"I'm Raven Tail's Nullpudding" he introduce himself.
"I didn't figure you come to me first" Gray said. Nullpudding simply chuckled at what the ice wizard said.
"But now I don't have to look for you" Gray said charge up his magic.
"Ice Make Hammer" Gray shouted as he conjured up a giant hammer made of ice and slammed it at Nullpudding.
"Woah this different from his Molding Magic up to now, isn't it" Jet said surprised on how fast Gray was with it.
"This is the result of his training" Happy exclaimed.
"Now I get a point" Gray declared, but when he said that he heard some kind of buzzer signifying he doesn't get a point.
"What but I knocked him out cold" Gray said, Nullpudding simply chuckled at this.
"The real one hid behind the copy" Tobi said from his balcony.
"That means Gray loses a point" Lucy said surprised.
"That was a smart move" Itachi said.
After Gray hit the copied, he was then transported to a different part of the town.
"Damn it, I blew it." Gray said all frustrated. After realizing his mistake Gray figured he had to be careful on how he used his magic, so he wouldn't be a victim of another surprise attack.
"Gray has to be careful, one wrong move and he loses more points" Erza said as she watched.
"How is he going to get points, everyone is blending into the crowd." Lucy said worryingly.
Gray continued to try and find and an enemy, but he was caught off guard once again by Nullpudding.
"Damn it he went after again" Gray yelled.
"Hah Your such an easy target" Nullpudding told him as Gray was teleported again. Fairy Tail team A was now in last place with -2 points.
"The first game Hidden is going off as a silent and fierce battle, currently in first place is Raven Tail's Nullpudding" Chapati announced.
"I wonder Mr. Yajima, what should they do in order to weed out an enemy" Chapati asked his fellow announcer.
"There are various ways to do so, like you could look for your opponent's magic" Yajima said responding to Chapati's question. Jenny a reserve member of Blue Pegasus who was helping with hosting (I forgot about her sorry.) simply giggled a little at this.
"I think Eve has a better method than that" Jenny told the old former council member.
"Finding your opponent's magic, getting a general direction is one thing, but pinpointing your target is tough" Erza said.
"Gray what do you think your doing, Don't let the same guy tag you twice" Elfman yelled. Cana looked a little worried, not knowing what Gray should do. Lucy also looked worried for Gray, she then look towards Raven Tail' balacolnoy.
"Raven Tail" Lucy said looking towards them.
Flare saw this and looked back at Lucy.
"What are you looking at Blondie" Flare said glaring at her.
"You guys seem to want to thoroughly crush us don't you" Lucy said to the red head of the dark guild.
"Blondie" Flare said.
"Enough Flare" the known as Alexi said.
"Damn you Ivan" Makarov said with anger.
"Hang in there Gray" Happy yelled.
"Crap, back to square one" Gray saidm Gray then begun to look around until something burst out of the ground.
"Carrot missile" Gray then saw a barrage of carrots coming towards him, he luckily manage to dodge it in time. After then popped out Mermaid Heel's Beth.
"Huh, I missed" Beth said, but she was then hit a giant thorn plant that came out from under her knocking her out.
"What the" Gray said until he heard a laugh.
"Ha ha, I saw use your magic" Jager declared as he found Gray, as he was about to attack Gray he was knocked out by Lyon.
"I finally found you Gray" Lyon said to his rival.
"Gray-sama" Another voice came Gray immediately recognize the voice, Juvia then jumped over the building coming down.
"Juvia" Gray said.
"Panities" Lyon said with a blush, but he was then kicked by Juvia.
"Hey I never said I needed your help, just because your my girlfriend doesn't mean you need to help me" Gray told her. That's right Gray and Juvia are dating they have been together for about two years. It took time but Gray accepted Juvia's feelings and they have been happy ever since.
"I know, but Juvia is going to going to defeat you, Master promised us" Juvia told her love. Juvia then explained to Gray that if Fairy Tail Team B does better than Team A on the first day, then Team A has do whatever Team B wants for an entire day. Gray then complained to the Makarov that those rules should also apply for Team A. Makarov agreed to it saying, whichever Fairy Tail team gets the most points, then the losing team has to do whatever the winning team wants for a whole day.
"So Juvia isn't going to lose" Juvia declared.
"That's music to my ears" Gray responded. As they were prepared to fight, Nullpudding once again went to attack Gray and Juvia.
"I get two Fairies now" Nullpudding said as he attacked them.
"He went after Gray agan" Lucy said.
"Bastard" Erza said.
"What the hell is with this guy" Gray said, but Gray then took notice of the snow.
"What is this" Beth wondered.
"Oh it seems it is snowing snowing in the town" Chapati exclaimed.
"Its Eve" Jenny declared.
"I miscalculed how many mages that resist the cold," Eve said as he was using his magic. Blue Pegasus realize Eve's plan to use the cold as a way to find the real ones.
"Found you" Eve said as he knocked out three participants being Jager, Beth and Nullpudding.
"Oh Eve just got three points in a row" Chapati said, but Eve was soon knocked out by Lyon.
"Sorry, but the cold doesn't work on me" Lyon told the young man.
"Figures" Eve told him.
As for Gray he was constantly being attacked by Nullpudding.
"Damn, Jawface is only targeting me" Gray said.
"Wow each mage is giving it their all for this match, but it seems that Sabertooth's Rufus, and Akatsuki's Konan, haven't scored a single point yet" Chapati said.
"This competition is too simple" said a gentlemen like voice.
"What is this" Chapati questioned. Everyone looked shocked to see that Rufus was a top a tower wide open to attack.
"I remember it, Everyone's heartbeat, footsteps, the quality of magic" Rufus declared.
"What's he doing up there" Lucy questioned.
"Its like he wants to be found" Elfman said.
"I remember, I remember it." Rufus said, he then got ready to cast a spell.
"Memory Make." Rufus declared, when saying this the sky turned dark.
"Memory Make? Molding magic" Erza declared. As everything in the town begin to darken all the participant started to emulate light. All of them looked surprised on what was happening, they all begin to look up at Rufus.
"Night of the Falling Star" Rufus shouted, when he said this eight yellow beams shoot out from Rufus, heading towards their target. Gray, Beth, Juvia, Lyon, Jager, and Eve were all hit, but Nullpudding managed to dodge it. Rufus manage to gain 6 points from his attack. Nullpudding then jumped towards Rufus ready to attack.
"Ha you left yourself right open." Nullpudding declared as he charged, but was surprised when what he hit was a fake.
"What he was a copy" Nullpudding said confused.
"No that was simply a memory of me being there so you lose a point for it" Rufus told the Raven. Then Rufus attacked Nullpudding gaining another point.
"I don't need a decoy" Rufus told him.
"Wow Rufus is now in the lead with 7 points" Chapati declared, getting cheer from the crowd.
"But what happened to Konan she hasn't attack a single person" Chapati exclaimed. The whole crowd was confused on where the cat masked mage went until they saw something they didn't expect to see. Paper begins to float in front of all the participants getting them surprise, even Rufus was a little surprised by this.
"What is this" Rufus questioned.
"Paper" Gray exclaimed.
"That was quite the strategy Sabertooth" a mature female voice said. Rufus turned towards the direction of the voice see Konan floating above him, she was floating in the air, with angel like paper wings.
"What the hell, where did she come from" Laxus said.
"But, this victory is mine" Konan declared, when she said this clones of her begin to form in front of all the participants. Everyone was shocked by this seeing this.
"Mr. Yajima what is happening right now" Chapati asked the old man.
"It seems she used some kind of Paper magic to create clones of herself" Yajima told her.
"What kind of magic is this First Master" Makarov asked the spirit shocked by what he was seeing.
"I don't know third, I never seen anything like this before" Mavis said with surprised.
"Shinikami no Mai" the masked mage said. When she said each clone fired a massive blast of paper striking everyone. Knocking them out ending the Game.
"Wow that was AMAZING Akatsuki's Konan takes an instant lead with 8 points" Chapati declared, getting a loud cheer. The entire crowd was shocked from they saw, they all expected Sabertooth to be in first place.

When the games Gray and Juvia had their heads down in shame and insults were being blasted at them.
"Ha I knew Fairy Tail will get Last place"
"Yeah there so weak now, it's hard to believe they were once Number one"
All these insults didn't really bother Gray and Juvia, but they were still angry with themselves that they lost. Especially Gray he was fuming with anger. When he got down the hallway he unknowingly removed his shirt and punched the closest wall causing it to crack.
"Damn it, I went and lost, I'll make sure to get you back for this you Raven Tail, Sabertooth" Gray said aloud thinking of Rufus and Nullpudding.
Rufus then returned to his own team balcony.
"I apologize that Akatsuki girl caught me off guard" Rufus said to his team.
"It doesn't matter, were still gonna win by racking up the points from the fights" Sting told him.
"Yes these games, don't really matter" Minerva told Rufus simply nodded with a smirk.
Fairy Tail Balcony
"Oh man, both of our teams are still in last place" Lucy said sadden.
""It doesn't matter Lucy, will find a way to the top" Erza told her blonde friend.
"Yeah we'll show them" Cana tolde er.
"We'll show em how manley we are" Elfman declared.
Lucy saw the look of determination on everyone's face and she smiled.
"Right" Lucy said.
Akatsuki Balcony
"Good job" Obito told his teammate.
"It wasn't much" Konan responded.
"I know were in first place you did such an amazing job Konan-chan" Tobi said childishly. Both of her other teammates gave Konan a silent nod.
"Now it looks like the matches are about to be decided," Itachi said.
Arena
"Now ladies and Gentlemen it's time to for the verses matches are going, but since we have an odd number teams, the organizers have decided one losing team will get to fight twice to make up for their lost." Chapati announced. All the team understood the rule and all nodded.
"This rule could give our teams a chance if anything were to happen," Makarov said.
"Now the first match will be Fairy Tail Team A Lucy Heartfilia vs Raven Tail Flare Corona" Chapati shouted.
(I'm skipping over most of the fights, they went the same as the canon, an I don't want this chapter to be long so I'm going to skip to the Akatsuki fight).
"Now its time for the last fight of the first day folks, Its Akatsuki Itachi vs Quatro Cerberus Semmes, both participants please enter the arena" Chapati announced.
Itachi and Semmes entered the arena, Itachi tilted his hat and looked at his opponent and sees its a large man with a painted face. His whole upper body was covered in a black garment and he wore red shorts. The large man had a confident smile on his face, as he believed he was far stronger than Itachi.
"Your friend got lucky beating Jager, now I'm going to avenge him by beating you up" Semmes said with confidence. Itachi remained silent.
"Now let the Match Begin" Mato announced.
With that said Semmes then began to charge at Itachi winding back a punch.
"I'm going to end this with one punch Hyaaaaaaah" Semmes declared, but as he was about to punch Itachi. Itachi looked at Semmes in the eye, and Semmes just froze. Semmes then begin to shiver after he looked into Itachi eyes. Semmes then just fell to the ground in unconsciousness. To this the entire arena was stunned.
Chapati then announced "Its its, ITS OVER, with just one look Itachi had ended the battle in an instant". There was no cheering from the victory everyone in the arena just all looked surprised, this man just defeated someone by looking at him. Fairy Tail was pretty shakened by it and questioned what happened.
"First Master what was that" Makarov asked.
"I don't know" Mavis simply responded.
"Well with that that includes the first day of the Grand Magic Games, that was very fine set of mages we got today right Mr. Yajima" Chapati said.
"Yes that's right especially those Akatsuki fellows, both their mages got an instant victory" Yajima said, Chapati nodded at this response.
"Well I hope to see you all again tomorrow for the second day of the Grand Magic Games" Chapati said.
