"Welcome to the competition of the second day: Chariot!" Chapati began. "This competition consists of reaching the goal without falling off of the connected chariots."
"However, this is not some regular race. " Yajima added.
"COOL!" Jason from Weekly Sorcerer, the guest of the second day, shouted. "COOL! COOL!"
"The chariots underfoot are constantly in motion, so even a moment of carelessness can be your undoing." Chapati continued. "They pass through the major sightseeing spots in Crocus. Which team will be the first to arrive at the goal, here at the Domus Flau? Let's find out!"
"We'll be transmitting images from the race to everyone here by lacryma vision." He added.
Jason looked around as screens began to form over the arena, showing every contestant. "COOL!"
"At any rate..." Chapati turned to Yajima. "Yajima-san, with this kind of competition, who do you think stands the best chance?"
"Hmm..."
"Why was Natsu sent out?" Gray paled. "The name 'Chariot' is a dead give-away for this competition!"
"He wanted to participate in this event." Lucy grinned sadistically. "And he's going to make us lose this... how fitting that he's punishing himself while doing it."
"Trailing at the back, far from the lead, Fairy Tail Team A's Natsu is in a groggy state!" Chapati confirmed their fears. "Right next to him, Fairy Tail B' Gajeel and even Sabertooth's Sting are in a similar condition! What in the world is going on here, Yajima-san?"
"The three of them seem to have something in common..." Yajima observed.
"COOL!"
"The one bad with transportation..." Gajeel moaned, sweating. "Should be Salamander, right?"
"Well then, let's take a look at the others!" The screens shifted. "In the lead is Raven Tail's Kurohebi!"
The thin man clad completely in black smirked.
"Right behind him are Blue Pegasus' Ichiya, Lamia Scale's Yuuka, and Mermaid Heel's Risley!"
"Men!"
"You're able to keep up pretty well, despite that body type..." Yuuka glanced at the woman next to him.
"Don't look down on the chubby!"
"Somewhat behind them is Quatro Cerberus' reserve member, Bacchus!"
"I'm beat..." Bacchus groaned, staggering ahead. "The alcohol from yesterday hasn't worn off..."
Yuuka thrust his arms out behind him. "Wave Boost!" He shouted, propelling himself forward and sending a wave of energy at Ichiya and Risley. "You won't be able to use magic in this wave!"
"Don't look down on the chubby!" Risley countered, dodging the wave and running along the side of the chariot.
"There it is!" Chapati cheered. "Risley's Gravity Transformation! She's dodged the wave and is running on the edge of the chariots!"
"A wave that nullifies magic... in that case..." Ichiya took out two small tubes and stuck them up his nose. "The Power of Perfume! Zero-Distance Inhalation!"
The crowd groaned in disgust when they saw him do that. Ichiya roared as he easily shot past Yuuka and his energy wave. "Men!"
"They're trying their best, huh..." Bacchus grinned. "My soul is shaking, dammit... I have to try a bit harder too..."
He raised his foot and slammed it into his chariot, destroying it and the ground under it with almost no effort. The carts in front shook and rose up from the force, knocking Ichiya, Risley, and Yuuka into the air.
"Going ahead!" He cheered, running past them. "If you fall, you lose!"
"What... was that..." Ichiya groaned.
Yuuka frowned. "How cheap..."
"Don't look down on the chubby..." Risley muttered, now slim for some reason.
"She's not chubby anymore!" Chapati exclaimed.
"Gravity Transformation!" Jason shouted. "COOL!"
Kurohebi scowled when Bacchus shot right past him and through the finish line.
"Straight to the goal!" Chapati declared. "Quatro Cerberus receives 10P!"
Goldmine grinned. "Wild..."
"Four!" The rest of Quatro Cerberus's team chorused.
"Next to arrive is Raven Tail's Kurohebi!" Chapati continued. "Third is Risley, fourth is Yuuka, fifth is Ichiya. The remaining three are pathetically battling it out for last place..."
"Ugh..." Natsu moaned.
"It can't be..." Gajeel was covering his mouth. "I'm fine with transportation... was fine... ugh..."
"Well then..." Sting grinned, sweat running down his face. "You finally got accustomed to it. To being a real Dragon Slayer... congratulations, newbie."
Gajeel grit his teeth. Mustering up all the strength he could, he shot an iron club at Sting and knocked the weakened teen off the chariot.
"Sting has fallen off!" Chapati shouted. "Sabertooth receives no points!"
A moment later, a burst of fire crashed into Gajeel, knocking him off as well.
"And with that, the competition is over!" Chapati announced. "Fairy Tail A's Natsu gets 2 Points. Team B's Gajeel gets 1 Point With that, the rankings are as follows:"
1. Raven Tail – 26 Pts.
2. Sabertooth – 20Pts.
3. Fairy Tail A – 13P.
3. Fairy Tail B – 13P.
5. Quatro Cerberus – 12P.
6. Lamia Scale – 10 Pts.
7. Mermaid Heel – 9P.
8. Blue Pegasus – 7P.
"Well then, it's time for today's battle portion! What sort of exciting battles will we see today?" Chapati wondered. "The first battle will be between Raven Tail's Kurohebi and Sabertooth's Minerva!"
"It's a stare-down between snake and tiger!" Chapati observed. "Who will claim victory in the end?"
"I hope to see a fair battle." Yajima added.
"Minerva..." Jason grinned. "! COOL!" Lucy walked up to her team and looked into the arena.
"Let's begin the first match!" Chapati shouted, prompting a muscled man to smash a thick stick into a gong.
Time Skip
"The match is over!" Chapati shouted. "The winner is Sabertooth's Minerva! Sabertooth now has 30 points!."
"Well..." Chapati decided to press on. "Let's compose ourselves and begin the second match of the day. Quatro Cerberus' Bacchus!"
Bacchus walked into the arena, staggering slightly and holding a flask of booze.
"And he will fight against Fairy Tail A's..."
"Ho..." A small regal man smiled. "You arranged the match-up properly, right?"
"Your Majesty." Arcadios bowed to the king.
"I'm looking forward to it." The king smiled. "Bacchus vs Erza. This will truly be an excellent match."
Arcadios paled. "Eh?"
"What is it?"
"Did... did you just say Erza?" Arcadios started to sweat. "The one I arranged for..."
"Elfman!" Chapati shouted, unknowingly filling in for him. Mira looked troubled.
"Elfman..."
"Elf-niichan..." Lisanna was in a similar state.
"Go forth!" Lucy told him. "There is no path for us but that of victory!"
"What I wanted to see was Bacchus against Erza!" The king raged.
"My deepest apologies." Arcadios looked down. "It was my mistake."
Flashback Start
"Your Majesty." Arcadios knelt before the throne. "The first day of the Daimatou Enbu has ended without incident."
"They were quality games." The king observed.
"Regarding the second day's battle part..." Arcadios hesitated. "I humbly inquire if you have any requests."
"That's right..." The king mused. "I want to see Sting and Rogue, but I also want to save the best for later... that's it! I want to see Bacchus!" He decided. "Make sure Bacchus is included."
Arcadios nodded. "Which team shall the match-up be against?"
"From Fairy Tail Team A..." The king rubbed his chin. "The one that transforms... I don't remember the name. E-something..."
"Understood." Arcadios nodded.
Flashback End
"I've made a mistake!"
"Go, Fairy Tail!" Someone in the crowd cheered.
"But he's up against Bacchus..."
"Is that huge guy strong?"
"Hey..." Bacchus smirked. "Why don't we make a bet like those guys before us?"
"Hm?"
"Your two sisters are some real beauties..." Bacchus observed. "If I win, lend them to me for a night. Both of them at once!" Both women in question paled.
"And if you win..." Bacchus rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Let's see..."
"Men.."
"Huh"
"As a man there are things I can't forgive, you hunting dog." Elfman stepped forward, clenching his fists. "I'll tear you apart."
"I'm glad we have an agreement." Bacchus grinned. "My soul can't stop shaking."
"Yawn..." Natsu stretched and sat up in bed. "That was a good nap..." He stood up and walked out the room."I guess I'll see who's gonna fight"
"This is quite the battle!" Chapati crowed. "Neither side is giving an inch! However, Elfman seems to be tiring..."
"A night with those beautiful sisters..." Bacchus grinned. "How wonderful."
"Elf-niichan..."
"He'll be fine." Evergreen assured Lisanna. "He's a guy that comes through when it counts."
"Beast Soul: Weretiger!" Elfman charged forward, instantly turning into a tiger-like creature and managing to land a hit, knocking Bacchus a few meters away.
Bacchus smirked as the two of them continued to try and pummel each other. "Wild..."
"Four!" The rest of his team sang.
"They're evenly matched." Gray observed.
"Bacchus' magic is one that focuses magical energy into one's palms. It's a relatively orthodox magic, but he's mastered a form of martial arts that lets him use that magic to its' fullest potential." Lucy explained.
"It's called the Hanging-Chop Fist. It uses those special stances to make palm strikes more effective. However, he's made some improvements to it and created a Drunken Hanging-Chop Fist. That makes it impossible to predict his attacks and his destructive power is also increased. But that's not the problem."
Erza frowned. "He hasn't even touched the gourd he brought with him yet."
"So that means..." Gray grit his teeth. "He's not even trying right now?"
"I guess I'll have a fun night." Bacchus observed, slamming Elfman into the ground.
"It hasn't been decided yet." Elfman stood up and grinned. "Our wager... should I win, the name of your guild... will be Quatro Puppy for the rest of the games." Bacchus burst out laughing.
"Ok, fine." He reached for his flask. "It's decided then. Now let's put an end to this." Elfman scowled when Bacchus finished his drink and began to wobble.
"Beast Soul-"
"It's useless!" Bacchus crowed, blurring past him after having hit him several times. His smile faded when he looked down and noticed his hands bruised and bleeding sluggishly in a few places. "My hands... what the hell is this?"
"Lizardman..." Elfman finished, now in a scaly form with spikes all over it. "If I can't hit you, I'll just have you hit me. Now come on! Bring it! Your hands and my body... whichever breaks first determines the victor!"
"Quite the strategy..." Mira frowned. "Lizardman's scales have countless spikes, so it's quite suitable against an opponent fighting with his bare hands... but his opponent is one who can break through even those scales."
"Hehehe... you're an interesting guy!" Bacchus grinned. "My soul is shaking! Bring it!"
"This... this is amazing!" Chapati shouted, watching as Elfman and Bacchus struggled against each other. "A truly fascinating clash of wills! Will it end first for the attacker, or will the defender be the first to fall? This match... who will be the victor?"
Soon after, Elfman's Take-Over faded and both men stopped fighting, facing each other and panting heavily. The crowd watched as both of them staggered, then Elfman fell to his knees.
"You... are... called... Elfman..." Bacchus rasped, before smiling widely. "Ahahaha! You know, you... are a man!"
And with that, he collapsed.
"Bacchus is down!" Chapati announced. "And with this the victory is Elfman, Fairy Tail Team A has 23 points!"
"COOL!"
"Heh." Natsu grinned, watching the scene with Wendy, Charle, and Porlyusica. "Awesome applause! Way to go, Elfman!"
"I may have underestimated Elfman a little..." Lucy observed, smiling at the heavily bandaged man. "But his endurance and strength of will is possibly unrivaled in our guild. We'll definitely build upon his well-earned victory."
"I guess you're unable to continue, though." Erza sighed, then glanced at Wendy. "Does that mean you're joining the team again?" Wendy nodded.
"Excellent." Natsu grinned.
"Well..." Porlyusica cut in. "The next match is already starting, so get going! Observing the enemy is part of the key to victory, you know."
Natsu nodded. "Take care then, granny."
"Relax." Bixlow grunted. "We Raijinshuu will protect this place."
"My runes will stop any outsiders from entering here." Freed added.
"We won't let this place get attacked a second time." Evergreen finished. Elfman grit his teeth as the others left.
"I'm sorry..."
"Hmph." Evergreen smirked. "Couldn't you come up with a more direct battle strategy?"
"Come on now..." Freed chuckled. "You should let the injured one lest."
Bixlow grinned and pushed Evergreen towards Elfman's bed. "Should we let Ever sleep with you?"
"Stop messing around!"
Lisanna's eyes widened when she noticed the participants of the third match already down in the arena.
"Whoa... Elf-niichan is being followed up by Mira-nee?"
"Charle!" Happy noticed the Exceed and waved wildly.
"Hey." Lily nodded to her. "Have you recovered?"
"Waaah!" Happy leapt at her. "I was so worried!"
"Enough already." Charle sighed, easily dodging his tackle. "The match is starting, isn't it?" she smiled. "Mirajane! Please try your best!"
Her eyes widened. "What... this..."
Happy sweatdropped. "That..." Lily sighed and shook his head.
"Master, calm down..." Romeo pulled an excited Makarov back into his seat.
"How's this?" Mira, wearing only a bra and underwear, asked coyly while pushing her breasts up. Her opponent, a nearly naked Jenny Realight smirked.
"And how about this?" She leaned back, pushing her chest out at the same time. The crowd swooned.
Natsu's jaw dropped. "What's going on here?"
"Mira-san..."
Gray sighed, watching both Lucy and Erza lean forward and pay rapt attention to the match. "Oi, what's with you two?"
"Quiet, Gray!" Both of them snapped at him. "Women are stripping here!"
"It seems those two used to work together in the modeling business..." Happy observed.
"So there was a special rule that made it into a swimsuit contest..." Lily added. Charle sighed.
"Despicable."
Mira leaned forward and tugged at her hair, flashing her panties to the entire audience as she did so. "Here?"
"Yes..." Jenny cooed, slowly rubbing her chest and stomach.
Most of the crowd was in euphoria at this point. "They can do this sort of thing in the battle portion?" Wendy asked, feeling unusually hot for some reason.
On the other side of the stands, Hibiki smiled.
"To think we'd have to use a reserve member on the second day..."
"It can't be helped. " Ren grumbled. "Ichiya-san's in that condition..."
Eve leaned in. "So have they determined what's wrong with him?"
"He stuck his perfume tubes too far up his nose." Ren deadpanned. "Ended up breaking several blood vessels and having a severe nosebleed."
"Good thing he isn't here." Hibiki nodded sagely. "He would only get worse."
Jenny sighed and stood up. "As expected, you're quite formidable... Mira."
"You as well." Mira nodded. "It has been a while, Jenny."
"I didn't think you'd go for a swimsuit contest like this." Jenny observed.
"I don't really like slug-fests." Mira smiled. "We're better off reaching a peaceful result, right?"
"The former swimsuit model colleagues!" Chapati shouted. "With both of them suing transformation magic... this is a dream come true! The judges will be the three of us here!"
"Hold it!" Arania declared, as she, Arania and Risely leapt into the arena in their swimsuits. "It won't do to let these little girls get all the attention!"
"When it comes to strength, as well as beauty…" Arania added, the trio landed.
"Mermaid Heel is Number One." The three women chorused.
"Stop right there!" Sherry announced as she, Chelia, too, entered the fray. "You people don't have enough love! If you think you can please the crowd just by posing in swimsuits, you're gravely mistaken. It's all about love. Without love…"
"You can't beat us." Chelia finished.
"This is no time to just sit back and be impressed." Mavis reminded.
"But I didn't bring a swimsuit." Cana stated.
"Don't worry." Mavis smiled. "I anticipated that so I came prepared with enough swimsuits for everyone. You three can't just sit back and watch either." She reminded Erza's group.
"Let's all join in!"
"When other people from the cheering section take the field, doing nothing is not an option." Erza declared.
"What, you're going out, too?" Gajeel asked the other female mage on the team who was already decked in her bikini.
"A woman in love has to battle at a time like this." Juvia retorted.
"I'm sick of hearing about it" Laxus complained.
"I think this has gotten out of hand." Mirajane noted, the rest of the females clustered in the arena.
"Well, it's not bad as a fun little stunt." Jenny remarked.
"Still and all, this match is just between Mirajane and Jenny." Chapati reminded.
"In that case, there's no point in us being out here." Levy pointed out.
"The main thing is that we have fun." Mavis stated.
"And how is that a ghost like you get such a kick out of this?" Cana wondered.
"I bet anything her personality has an effect on the mood of our Guild." Levy declared.
"What, you're here, too?" Erza blinked, spotting Evergreen beside her.
"I won't let you people hog the spotlight." Evergreen replied.
"The next theme is school swimsuits." Chapati announced.
"Why are we suddenly in weird fetish swimwear?" Levy wondered
"You don't really look out of place, Wendy." Lisanna remarked.
"That doesn't make me happy!" Wendy wailed.
"Next up is bikinis and thigh-high heels." Chapati declared.
"For some reason, this feels even more embarrassing than the swimsuit alone." Lisanna noted.
"Moving on, girls in glasses." Chapati continued.
"This isn't any change for me." Laki shrugged.
"Cat ears!" Chapati was on a roll.
"Is there any point for me to wear them?" Carla sighed.
"Bondage!" Chapati announced.
"This is also a form of love." Sherry cracked her whip.
"You are too into it." Chelia gaped.
"Well, Erza?" Evergreen taunted. "Are you about ready to admit defeat?"
"Did you say something?" Erza retorted, brandishing a nine o-wisp.
"I lose." Evergreen conceded.
"The next theme is 'wedding dress'." Chapati declared. "Prepare a partner and get into bridal gear."
"I'm sorry for suddenly dragging you into this, Master." Mirajane smiled, partnering Makarov.
"This is part of job to be master…"
"Well, you were at hand…" Jenny shrugged, Hibiki at her side.
Levy sweatdropped as Jet and Dory decked it out on who was to be her partner, before turning to an uninterested Gajeel, Pantherlily having partnered up with Asuka.
"I'm the groom for you, right, Carla?" Happy asked.
"Well, since we're both Exceeds…" Carla relented.
"Juvia, I'm the one for you!" Lyon declared, Juvia in his arms.
"Lyon-sama, but Juvia is…" Juvia stated. Suddenly gray flied and kick Lyo
"Gray-sama"
"It's no fun letting a teammate get snatched by a jerk from another guild"
"Juvia is very happy"
"Who should I…" Lucy looked around, only to be lifted off the ground by Natsu.
"Natsu…"
"Hey Luce…."
"The wedding showdown is over." Chapati declared, the bell ringing. "Let's go back to the swimsuit showdown."
"I think it's about time I put in an appearance." Ooba Babasaama announced.
"That's…."
"Lamia Scale's Oba Babasama is going to show you what a woman's charm is!" she leapt off her stand. Everyone instantly went white-out.
"With that single strike, the excitement in this arena went down the drain." Chapati remarked. "The interlopers suddenly lost interest and are returning to their seats."
"COOL DOWN"
"Mira, this is the end!" She declared. "Why don't we go with the flow of the matches so far and make a bet?"
"Sounds good." Mira smiled. "What are we betting?"
"How about..." Jenny giggled. "The loser has to appear naked in the Weekly Sorcerer!" Cue nosebleeds.
Mira smiled. "Sure thing."
Jenny smirked. "You fell for it, huh... among the spectators, I don't know which one of us has more fans, but... the key is those three judges. I just happened to ask about their preferences during a dinner meeting"
" it seems they prefer young girls! And with Mira having aged normally these seven years, she's older than me! I'm the younger one, so no matter what you pick, this is my win!"
"The next theme is battle suit" Chapati announced.
"This is my battle form!" Jenny said, changing into an outfit which, while still quite revealing, was clearly meant for combat. All according to plan...
"It's my turn then." Mira observed, beginning to glow. "Since we went with the flow and made a wager, then going with the flow again, I guess it's fine to finish things with a clash of strength?" Jenny paled.
"Huh?" A demonic-looking Mira stepped forward and smirked.
"Demon Mirajane – Sitri, huh..." Lucy smirked. "Her strongest Satan Soul..."
"I've acknowledged your wager." Mira told Jenny. "And now I'd like you to acknowledge my strength." Jenny screamed when Mira shot at her and slammed into her at a great speed.
"From a swimsuit contest..." Chapati watched Jenny collapse. "It turned into a battle of strength..."
"Well, the original rules were like this anyway." Yajima reminded him.
"COOL! COOL! COOL!"
"Victory, Mirajane!" Chapati shouted. "Fairy Tail B receives 10 points!"
"That was awesome" Gajeel said
"Get it now?" Laxus grunted. "That's not someone you want to piss off."
Jellal nodded. "Understood."
"She did it!" Juvia cheered.
"Sorry..." Mira smiled, powering down. "I look forward to seeing you in your birthday suit."
The Trimens sweatdropped in unison when Jenny wailed comically, slumped in the middle of the arena.
"Well then, we've finally arrived at the last match of the second day of the Daimatou Enbu!" Chapati announced.
"Great work, Mira-san." Juvia told the older woman.
"I feel like I've shown quite a few inappropriate sides of myself..."
Gajeel smirked. "The best was at the end, though."
"That brings us to 23 Points..." Laxus observed. "Same as Team A."
"…"
Mira turned to the brooding man. "What is is, Mystogan?"
"Nothing..."
"The less he speaks, the better, right?" Gajeel told her. "If he continues acting like Mystogan, more people will feel safer around him."
Mira smiled. "Ah, I see."
"It's like the old Mira!" Natsu crowed. "As I thought, she's strong!"
Gray sighed. "Wasn't it supposed to be a swimsuit contest?"
"It was a swimsuit contest." Lucy countered. "I don't think there was any sort of 'no hitting' rule though."
"It was a loophole that Mira found and took advantage of." Erza nodded in complete agreement.
Wendy sweatdropped. "Something feels off about what you're saying..."
"Today's final match..." Chapati began. "Mermaid Heel's Kagura Mikazuchi... vs Lamia Scale's Toby Horhota!"
"Good luck, Kagura-san." The hooded figure on Mermaid Heel's team smiled.
"Win this for us, ok?" Beth chirped.
"No need to worry!" Kagura laughed, flashing them a confident grin. "Me and my sword can handle it!" She looked up at the stands as she walked forward.
"Let's begin the match" Chapati announced.
Time Skip
"The... the match... is over..." Chapati forced out. "The victor is Mermaid Heel's Kagura Mikazuchi!"
"And with this, Day 2 of the Daimatou Enbu has ended!" Chapati declared. "Those are the current rankings for the games!"
1. Sabertooth – 30Pts.
2. Raven Tail – 26 Pts.
3.Fairy Tail A – 23 Pts.
3. Fairy Tail B – 23 Pts.
5. Mermaid Heel – 19 Pts.
6. Quatro Puppy – 12 Pts.
7. Lamia Scale – 10 Pts.
8. Blue Pegasus – 7 Pts.
"Sabertooth still in the lead! But Raven Tail and Fairy Tail followed them from the back!" Chapati shouted.
"Our guild's name..." Rocker's jaw dropped. "It turned into Quatro Puppy..."
"It was a promise between men." Bacchus laughed. "Can't be helped."
"And on that note, see you all tomorrow!"
Like it? Love it? Review it. Flames will be ignored.
