Story Summary: In this world there are two sides to everything. Two sides to every story, two sides to every person, and two sides to every problem. And like everything else the Grand Magic Tournament has its dark side. Its dark side is The Underground Mage's Tournament. Its dark side is twisted and evil, dark and mysterious, but could it be something more? In this dark tournament can six people find the friendship they've been searching for all their lives? Or will they succumb to the darkness that dwells inside all of their hearts, and become the monster they so desire to escape from?

I would like to clarify that I do not own Fairy Tail or the ocs presented in this story. Also scene changes and character thoughts will be in bold, and this chapter's beginning runs concurrently with the last chapters bar scene. Oh and this story takes place during the Grand magic Tournament.

Chapter Four: Meeting New People

The City of Baltre: Baltre Pub

Alexia was sitting in the bustling bar by herself drinking a beer, but unbeknownst to her a woman with long, wavy black hair and ice blue eyes was sitting three chairs away. And this woman's name was Hikari Watanabe.

This place, it's so noisy. I can't stand all these people. Why did I even come here? Maybe I should just leave.Hikari thought to herself as she drank her beer. Hikari was about to leave the bar when something caught her eye. It was a small white baby wolf sleeping on someone's shoulder. At the site of the cute little mammal she immediately sat down.

Oh yeah that's right I came in here to see the baby wolf, but I can't because it's on top of the one thing I despise the most, people. What do I do? What do I do? Hikari thought to herself. Meanwhile the man with the wolf noticed Hikari looking at him.

What the hell. Is she looking at me? Why would SHE look at me? Not unless she is after me. Or is she after the book. It doesn't matter what she is after. I need to leave anyway. I have to sign up for the preliminary rounds for the tournament anyway.The man with the sleeping wolf thought as he walked out of the bar.

What do I do? What do I do? What do I do? Oh shit! He left with the fluffy baby wolf. I got to go after him!Hikari thought as she ran out the door of the bar.

Where is he?Hikari thought as she hastily searched her surroundings for the man. When she finally found him he was heading down an ally whistling with his arms behind his head. She ran after the man into the ally.

What the hell! Now she's following me! I have to lose her.The man thought. He stopped in his tracks and just stood there in the middle of the ally. With amazing speed he clawed his way up one of the ally walls using his hands. Hikari was fast enough to catch a glimpse of the man clawing his way up the wall.

Dammit! He's getting away! Hikari thought. Using her magic, Hikari jumped up into the air and landed on a nearby roof top. The man was on a parallel roof top running north. Hikari ran after the man on her side of the roof tops.

"Wait! Stop running!" Hikari yelled at the man.

"Never! You'll never get your hands on this book of darkness!" the man yelled back.

"I don't want your book!" Hikari yelled back.

"Then you want the bounty on my head, don't you?" the man yelled in response.

"What bounty are you talking about?" Hikari asked befuddled.

"What are youtalking about? If you're not after the book or I then what do you want from me?" the man demanded. Hikari and the man both stopped in their tracks.

Hikari, with down cast eyes, told the man, "I want to pet your wolf." When Hikari looked up there was a slight blush on her face.

"Umm… what? You chased me just so you could pet my wolf?" the guy said in response.

"Yeah and what if I did?" Hikari said. The only thing guy did, in response to her answer, was give her a weird look of disbelief.

"I'm leaving," the guy blankly stated. The guy turned around and was about to walk off.

"Wait no! At least let me pet it!" Hikari yelled at the man as she pounced from her side of the roof tops to the other and landed on top of the guy.

Hikari pinned the guy to the ground and demanded that he let her pet the wolf, "Let me pet her!"

"What the hell! Get off me!" The guy yelled back.

"Not unless you let me pet her," Hikari told the man.

The man weighing his choices finally decided on the right response to the situation. "Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"

"Shut up! You're going to attract attention!" Hikari shouted at the guy pinned underneath her.

"Help! Help! A crazy woman is trying to kill me!" the guy yelled out.

Dammit! He won't shut up! What should I do? Oh I know,Hikari thought to herself. With great force Hikari pressed her lips against the guy's lips. The kiss was lopsided and weird, but it still qualified as a kiss. When Hikari pulled back from the guy he was silent. Hikari's grip weakened on the man. With her guard down the guy crawled away from her and curled up into a ball.

"You ruined it you bastered. You ruined my first kiss!" the man wailed with tears in his eyes.

"You taste like lightning," Hikari stated inanely as she stood up.

"I'm going to kill you!" the man stated maliciously. The sky suddenly began to thunder. The man made a finger gun and pointed it at Hikari.

"Behold the power of the demon Attican!" the man apparently named Attican yelled out. A bolt of black lightning leapt from the tip of Attican's finger gun. The bolt made direct contact with Hikari's shoulder, which sent Hikari a few feet back.

"Oh you're a mage too. Well I am a mage as well," Hikari expressed to Attican as she used her magic to form a fire glove on her hand. Hikari ran up to Attican and was about to hit him when he suddenly disappeared. He reappeared on the other side of the roof, where Hikari was once standing.

"Something tells me you won't put up a good fight," Attican disclosed to Hikari.

"I'm leaving." Attican said as he walked off.

"Oh no you're not! Not until I pet that wolf!" Hikari yelled out at Attican. Hikari ran after him again and tried to hit him, but he was too fast for her and he flashed away again, but this time he was on a distant roof top.

"Wait up you bastered!" Hikari yelled at him from a distance. She jumped the distance to the next building top and proceeded to do so until she was on the same building top as Attican. She tried again to hit the man named Attican, but the results were the same, she missed, he moved, she'd try again. Their little "game" destroyed a few roof tops, and some walls. For Attican it was funny. She struggled to keep up with him, while he was just breezing by. The "game" for Attican was amusing, but not for long. He soon got bored.

Man this is getting boring. Maybe I should end this right now.Attican thought. Then unexpectedly Attican spotted a two people walking in an ally below him. The two people were carrying giant burlap sacks. Then from inside Attican's dastardly mind, he came up with a magnificent plan.

Meanwhile, below Attican, and Hikari's "game" the burlap sacks were having a little game of their own.

"Hey, James, what has four eyes and looks like a freak?" Alexia asked James from inside a burlap sack.

"I don't know. What does have four eyes and looks like a freak?" James said to Alexia from a burlap sack.

"This guy's mother!" Alexia said with fake humor in her tone.

"That's it I can't take it any mo-"then suddenly the guy carrying Alexia in a sack was startled by Attican who appeared fight in front of him.

Attican, with all his might yelled out, "Hey you stupid fire mage, you can't catch me! Oh and you suck as a mage, also your fat!"

Hikari poured all her power into her fire glove and yelled out, "I'm not fat!" Her fist was about to make contact with Attican, but again he dodged the attack using his astounding speed. The attack hit the guy in orange straight in the face. The force of the hit knocked him out cold. He dropped the sack he was holding, and it landed on the ground with a big thud.

"Of all the things to say, you chose to say 'I'm not fat!'?" Attican said accusingly.

"Be quiet!" Hikari yelled at Attican.

"Oh that hurt you idiot!" Alexia said from inside the sack.

"Hey look it's a talking sack! Maybe if I rub it really hard it will give me three wishes!" Attican expressed. Alexia popped her head out of the sack and took in her surroundings.

"I think your confusing that with a genie," the sack carrying James expressed.

"Whatever. Hey wait why are you carrying people in burlap sacks?" Attican asked the guy carrying James.

"I – I – I – Please don't hurt me!" the guy carrying James stuttered as he dropped the James, and curled up into a ball. James climbed out of his sack and went to go check on Alexia, who was still adjusting to her surroundings.

"Don't worry guy we won't hurt you . . . yet," Attican said.

"I'll – I'll tell you whatever you want!" the guy that was carrying James's sack exclaimed. Alexia, with the help of James, finally regained her senses and immediately recognized the two guys.

"Hey! You're the guys from the bar! You're with the dark guild Kuro no gobōsei" Alexia stated.

"Kuro no gobōsei. So you're with that guild. Looks like I have no choice. You're going to have to die," Attican said.

"Hey wolf guy! Our fight's not over," Hikari said to Attican.

"No! Please! Don't kill me!" the guy from the bar wearing a red jacket pleaded.

"Well there is a way," Attican expressed.

"Hey are you listening to me?" Hikari said to Attican. Attican suddenly disappeared, and reappeared right behind Hikari and trapped her with one of the empty sacks. All Alexia and James could do was stare at the scene, in part disbelief and interest.

"Okay so here is what you're going to do," Attican said to the guy in the red jacket.

One Attican Plan Later

Inside of the Kuro no gobōsei base located in Baltre, Alexia, Attican, James, and Hikari are tied to chairs in a dimly lit room.

"Great plan!" Hikari stated sarcastically.

Chapter End

So far the story views have been plummeting. It's going down and down and I don't know why! If only some kind soul would review the story and point out the faults of the chapter nicely and help me improve, but sadly there no one like that is here, if only, if only a kind soul like that existed. Oh and before I go I'd like to post something I created. The name may be unoriginal but I still kind of like it
