I do not own Fairy Tail...
Previously:
standing there I thought ' She must really like Elf-nii to be saying that kind of stuff, because from what I last remember she doesn't say anything nice about someone unless they are Laxus or someone she likes, love or comfortable with…I wish Lucy was here so I could tell her about it, it was fun talking about things like this with her… even though we weren't able to hang out and talk properly… and when we had the chance, it was short but it was about fun things like this'' heaving a sigh, I turn back to the battle I watch as Elfman launches himself towards Bacchus and shouts "Beast soul WERETIGER!"
Chapter 10:
Normal P.O.V:
Observing in distress Mira watches as her brother fights with great determination as he changes in to his beast weretiger form. Looking in the corner of her eye at Juvia Mira explained "That's a speed-type takeover."With eyes narrowed with understanding Juvia utters "Hopefully He'll be able to connect with that." Moving faster and faster Elfman continues to attack; Bacchus continues to dodge each blow. After dodging quickly he delivers and upper cut to Elfman's jaw stunning him for a moment. Quickly regaining composure from the last attack Elfman swiftly tries to counter with a round house kick, but missing as Bacchus speedily drops to the ground and grabs his leg and throws him to the ground on the other side of him. Landing on the ground with a grunt he slowly gets up as Bacchus says "Wild?!", roaring with excitement the crowd continues to watch as the Takeover mage continually takes hits from the S-class mage.
Gray's P.O.V:
Sighing I stood next Wendy who leaned closer to the rail and said "Elfman's attacks aren't even landing at all." Nodding in agreement Wendy puts her hand to her chin and said "I wonder if it's because of that guy's weird movements…" I shrugged and saw Erza standing there with her arms crossed. With a slightly frustrated gaze Erza explained "His Magic is a type that focuses magical energy in the palms of his hands. It's relatively orthodox magic. However, the secret to his strength is mastery martial art that allows him to use that magic to its fullest potential. It's called the hanging-chop fist. It's a martial art that uses those special stances to make particularly effective use of 'palm strikes'. What's even scarier is that he added some improvement to that… and created a drunken hanging-chop fist." Sweat dropping I asked "Drunken…like booze, you mean?" I gaze over at Erza looking to see if I were on the same page. Leaning from one foot to another Erza kept her eyes on the battle and said "Yup. It's impossible to predict the drunken Falcon's attacks. On top of that, the destructive power is enhanced as well, which is part of his key victory. But that's not the problem… He hasn't even had a drop of his alcohol yet…" Gasping I look back at the battle grounds to see his drink sitting on the ground. Wendy gasped "So that means…" watching in shock I add "He's not even trying at all right?" Looking back at Erza she nodded.
Elfman's P.O.V:
Feeling pain burn throughout my whole body I slowly get up and here Bacchus snort "You're a 'man' aren't you? Keep your promises." Looking down to the ground I struggle to get up for a moment, taking in large amounts of air I hear the judge gasp and yell "Is Elfman unable to get up? Incidentally since the grand magic games official mascot and referee Matt-kun is on his day off, I will be serving as referee as well." Hearing that, I could hear the whole crowd gasp in confusion. Getting up on to my feet I say "It hasn't been decided yet, hunting dog." Bacchus grunted in confusion, continuing on I smirk "The wager…in the event that I win." Slightly frowning he replied in an arrogant voice "It's absolutely hopeless already… fine, say whatever you want." Still catching my breathe I smirk and countered "If I win…the name of your guild…will be Quatro puppy for the rest of the games." I chuckled to myself as I stand there and watch the reaction from both him and his guild. Hearing roars of laughter from the crowd and other guilds, I look over to Bacchus who sighed while he picks up his drink and answers with an overconfident tone "Ok, ok! It's decided then! Well then… Let's put an end to things then…"
Gray's P.O.V:
Yelling in shock I gasp "He drank the alcohol" Looking at Erza who stayed composed throughout this entire fight she shouts "Here it comes, Elfman!" looking down at Wendy I hear her gasp "He's serious…"
Bacchus P.O.V:
Taking a fighting stance I look over to Elfman as he shouted "Beast soul…" using the tome to my advantage I launch myself and counter with seven attacks. Jumping into the air I yell with arms wide with victory "It's USELESS!" hearing the crowd gasping I chuckle and look back to Elfman and gasp in slight confusion and shock as I look at my hands feeling a sudden pain "AH?
Elfman's P.O.V:
Looking over to Bacchus I hear him yell in shock "WHAT THE HEC IS THIS! MY HANDS!" slightly chuckling to myself I shout "LIZZARDMAN!" Huffing I murmur "If I can't hit you, I'll have you hit me" with that statement I hear the whole crowd gasp in shock. Bringing my hands up gesturing for him to come at me with everything, I yell "BRING IT ON! Your hands and my body… whichever breaks first determines the victory" Looking at his face I Chuckle.
Erza's P.O.V:
Gasping in shock I thought 'He had something like that? I've never seen him use it before; in fact, now that I think about it, I don't think he uses his magic unless he needs to…'
Normal P.O.V:
Slightly shocked with her brother's strategy Mira said "That's quite a strategy…" standing next to her Juvia sweat dropped and said "It's so unreasonable." Nodding in slight agreement Mira began to explain "Indeed, Lizardman's skin… scales have countless spikes…it's quite suitable against an opponent fighting with his bare hands… His opponent is one that can even break lizardman's hard scales" watching the fight with anticipation the crowd scream, almost falling out of their chairs as the fight just began to become more interesting.
Elfman's P.O.V:
As I stood there beginning to become impatient as my opponent stands there shocked I taunt "What's wrong!?" Taking a step forward he bellowed "You're an interesting guy! MY SOUL IS SHAKING! BRING IT!" with that said he launched himself at me I braced myself as he came close and started to land attacks at incredible speeds. The crowd went silent as they watched the battle escalate. Standing strong I continue to take attack after attack as the judge started to commentate "This… this sublime! Rather than a simple battle this is a clash of wills! Will it end for the attacker or for the one attacked?! This match…who will be… the victor?!" Transforming back we both stood there gasping in exhaustion, panting for air and sweating like animals. And at the same time we both drop to our knees. Looking at the ground I hear Bacchus speak up "You were called…Elfman…huh…" making his way to his feet he threw his hands up in victory and began to laugh like a maniac as the Judge yelled "The one that stands… is Bacchus?!" hearing everyone gasp I look in the corner of my over to Fairy Tail, who where everyone looked down slightly to hide their sadness. As I watch over each and every one of them, my eyes end and land on my two siblings who are crying in shock. Clenching my fists I hear Bacchus laugh and say "You know you… ARE A MAN!" Still looking at the ground I hear the man in front of me, fall to the ground and fainted in exhaustion. Tilting my head up to look over to the man spread across the ground I hear the judge yell "DOWN! BACCHUS IS DOWN! The victor is… Elfman! Fairy Tail A receives 10 pts.! That makes it 12 pts.! Is this cry the beacon of Fairy Tail's rebirth? Elfman! A spectacular victory over a strong opponent!" smiling in relief I put my arms in the air and bellow my victory.
The Infirmary, Wendy's P.O.V:
Smiling at Elfman with our happiness I moved a table with the help of Lisanna for his feet, because he is too big for the Infirmary bed. Looking over at the bandaged man I quickly refiled a bowl of water and placed on the table for her. Looking at me with a warm smile, Lisanna said in a gentle voice "Thank-you so much Wendy" smiling I nodded and looked back over at Elfman. As silence began to swallow the relieved atmosphere I look over at Erza who took a step forward and said "It seems I underestimated Elfman a little bit…but his endurance and strength of will, might be unrivaled in our guild. We'll definitely build upon his hard-won victory." clasping my hands and smiling wide, I cheer "To think Erza would acknowledge him like this…" chuckling to himself I look over to Gray who smiled and said "Well, That's what he accomplished, after all." Smiling to myself I nod then, sat next to Lisanna teaching her some medical tips, to help Elfman. Soon after that quiet chatter filled the room, about celebrating Elfman's victory. Abruptly the infirmary door slammed open, showing a silhouette of a tall man who swiftly ran through the infirmary.
