Random: I forgot this snippet last time;
"TenROUUUU! Where I accidentally spilled Cana's liquor into the occeeeeeaaaan-"
In the guild…
Cana spewed out her booze and gaped.
"That was MIKAILA!"
Random: I own nothing ok?

Chapter 9: Face-off
"Kai-chan, do you notice how… different these flowers seem?" Wendy asked.
"You're right. These are herbal flowers, they wilt in the dark. Why are they glowing?" Mikaila pulled out a small book from her bag.
"Come to think of it, I have never seen this plant before. But I know it's medicinal." Mikaila snapped her book closed with a loud slap.
They rounded a corner and jumped in surprise.
"Wendy-kun! Mikaila-kun! How unfortunate…"
"M-Mirajane?" Mikaila stuttered.
{oOo~ Poor Unlucky Souls ~oOo}
"Lisanna-san… Juvia wishes to thank Lisanna for believing in Juvia, Juvia will do Juvia's best to help Lisanna become S-Class" Lisanna smiled.
"Don't worry, win or lose I won't get mad at you Juvia. Let's do our best!" Juvia nodded as they ended up in a room, the door on the other side was shut.
"Well, well, who do we have here?"
"Bixlow…"
{oOo~ Unusually Lucky Souls ~oOo}
"And so it comes down to this eh Flame Brain?" Gray said, clad only in his dark pants.
"Don't taunt me icicle head, I'm here to help Jason become an S-Class Mage!" Natsu hissed.
"Whatever, Ice Make: Cannon!"
"Dissipate!" the icy bomb degenerated into a frosty mist.
"Go Natsu-nii!" Natsu burst through the mist and punched Gray in the gut with a flaming fist.
Gray crashed into the wall but stood up, not quite finished.
"I see. So we're playing it that way huh?" he smirked.
"Bring it on."
{oOo~ Fairly Lucky Souls ~oOo}
"Elfman and Evergreen!" Lucy shouted in surprised.
"I see. So it is time to face-off. I warn you, I will not go easy on you just because you are Laxus's cousin" Evergreen lowered her glasses but Lucy, prepared for once, pulled out a pair of reflector shades along with Happy.
"I told you these would be useful… Now who wears shades among my Stellar Spirits?" she flipped through her keys even though she already knew who to summon.
"Gate of the Goat! Capricorn!"
Capricorn adjusted his shades and smiled.
"Who must I fight, Lucy-dono?" he probed.
"You can fight Elfman, I'll handle Evergreen" Capricorn nodded.
"Understood, Lucy-dono" as quick as a flash Capricorn was already beginning his assault.
"Elfman!" Evergreen shouted but Lucy blocked her.
"Happy!" she shouted as Happy kept her in the air in front of Evergreen who was using her Fairy Magic.
"Aye!" Happy grinned.
"Iron Fist of the Celestial Dragon!" she struck at Evergreens chest and watched as she hit the ground.
"Y-You're strong. Like your cousin" Evergreen complimented gathering her composure and lashing out at Lucy in the sky.
"I'm sorry Evergreen. Roar of the Celestial Dragon!" a wave of light resonated across the room.
Evergreen lay on the floor next to where Capricorn had set Elfman down.
Happy gently set her down and looked at their two unconscious guildmates.
"Lucy, do you think you were too hard on them?" he wimpered.
"No, it's a competition Happy. Come on. Let's go to the next battle" she pointed at the now open door.
Happy smiled, remembering Natsu, and followed.
{oOo~ Poor Unlucky Losers ~oOo}
"Satan Soul: Soul Extinction!" the dark magic shot towards them but Wendy and Mikaila stood strong.
"Roar of the…" they both took a deep breath.
"… Snow Dragon!" Mikaila shouted, a flurry of snow and ice pushing back the dark spell.
"… Sky Dragon!" Wendy screamed, joining with the funnel of ice and snow the sudden addition of force sent Mirajane backwards.
"It seems my Satan Soul is not enough… very well." She smirked, transforming.
"Satan Soul: Halphas!" Wendy and Mikaila gasped.
"I've heard of this transformation! Gramps said you weren't allowed to use this spell!" Mikaila yelled.
Mirajane was clad in her Satan Soul: Halphas form clothes.
"What Master doesn't know won't kill him" she hissed.
"Gramps! Mira's form! Mikaila's in trouble!" Makarov ignored Laxus and watched the lacrima.
"How could you act like you don't care what happens to her?" Laxus demanded, angry and full of angst.
"I do care Laxus. She is my granddaughter. But I trust that she will succeed, even against Mira" Laxus crossed his arms and watched, mumbling profanities.
Even with Mira's Halphas form Wendy and Mikaila had formed a great defense and offense plan for each of her attacks.
"It seems like someone has been studying…" she muttered.
"No offense Mirajane, but we're more serious than you think we are when it comes to this Trial, you're going to lose" Mikaila said bluntly.
"Is that so?" she began transforming again.
"You have forced my hand. My strongest Take-over Spell…"
"… Satan Soul: Sitri" flames licked the ground she tread on as she transformed.
"Mavis spare us…"
{oOo~ Extremely Unlucky Challengers ~oOo}
"Wings of the Fire Dragon!"
"Ice Make: Sheild!"
"FIRE!"
Jason and Natsu dropped to the floor, kneeling in exhaustion.
Gray was opposite them, in the same position.
Jason reached for his magic pen, which he dropped after writing "FIRE".
"You have to be better than that Cross, Flame Brain" he snickered.
"Sh-Shut it Ice Princess!" Natsu growled.
"Natsu-nii, I sense a disturbance…" Jason said in a hushed voice.
"Jason?" Natsu probed.
"What's the holdup Cross?" Gray stood up and walked slowly towards the two.
Jason's eyes widened.
"No" he whispered.
"Didn't you hear me? I said 'What's the holdup?'" Jason stood and faced him, a grim expression on his face.
"It's Mikaila" he informed.
Gray flinched in surprise and worry.
"What happened to her?" Natsu placed a hand on Jason's shoulder comfortingly.
"Mirajane. She's in her Satan Soul: Sitri mode… and Mikaila-" Mirajane's flaming form flashed before his eyes.
"Mikaila and Wendy are fighting her"
Natsu and Gray looked at each other and then the entrance.
"Well hurry and beat me Natsu, I hate to admit it but… she needs you" Natsu stared at Gray ludicrously.
He called him Natsu.
Natsu nodded understandingly and charged his rival.
This wasn't the time to be holding back.
For Fairy Tail, Jason, Mikaila, Wendy… and Lucy.
He'd get stronger for his Family, and the girl he had grown to love.
He grinned and let loose a wrath of wispy orange flames.
