Yo! Sorry for the long wait, I had three projects to finish. =w=' it's been a stressfull two weeks for me now that the school year is finished. HOWEVER, now I have time to get these chapters up. Though, there are some times during the summer that I probably won't be able to upload. You know, volunteering and stuff. So be warned!

Also, idk if it's too late for this or not, there will be spoilers to the bleach movies. Mainly in this chapter, but there will be more references in later chapters too.

Anyway, To the Story!!!

—ToM—

It's the day of the games and the Fairy Tail team is a bit nervous. I mean, who wouldn't be when one of their team mates, and strongest members, is missing. Gray, Erza, Lucy, Laxus, and Gajeel made up the Fary Tail team this year, though they were a little disheartened that their Salamander disappeared from the guild.

They were in the tunnels of the stadium, waiting to be announced. They came in third, which was way better than when they first participated in the GMGs, after the seen year time gap.

"Alright, everyone ready."

It was more of a statement, but everyone nodded at Erza as they heard themselves get announced.

"In third place FAIRY TAIL!"

"That's us, let's go."

A curt nod as they all walked out of the tunnel and into the stadium, seeing their fellow competitors. Sabertooth (of course), Blue Pegasus, Lamia Scale, Mermaid Heel, Cuatro Cerberus, respectively already in the stadium, conversing with one another. However, when Fairy Tail emerged from the tunnel there were cheers, but people (and the competitors) started talking.

"Fairy Tail came in third?!"

"Who came in first and second then?"

"Some other guild?"

"No way! All the strong guilds are already there!"

"But then who is it?!"

"Yo! Fairy Tail!"

The team looked to the other guilds the see Lyon waving at them. Fairy Tail waved back and walked towards them.

"Hey, you guys came in third? Then who's in first and second? Another Fairy Tail team?"

"I don't know, but whoever they are we are going to beat them."

Lyon and the others smirked at Gray's answer. Of course Fairy Tail wasn't going to go down fighting.

"Well we aren't going to go down either."

"We look forward to the challenge."

"NOW! For second place! They are new but still powerful! The Misfits Guild!"

The stadium was near silent as the team walked out from the tunnel. Though, it was understandable.

There was one guy with orange hair that reached down to his shoulders, wearing a black shihakusho, and has a large khyber knife strapped to his back.

The second guy had spikey blond hair, a long white coat with red flames, and a fox imprint on the back, at the bottom over his (also black) robes, and two katanas strapped to his back.

The third had spikey red-ish hair and black robes as well. Though, on the back of his shihakusho there was a print of two dragons entwined. One was red and the other was golden. He also had two katanas, though they were strapped to his sides.

The fourth had red hair like the third one, but it was up is a pony tail and had tattoos covering his body and a katana strapped to his side.

The last one had long blue hair, and wore white robes instead. Once again, a katana strapped to his waist. He also had bits of a mask covering his jawbone.

Though, the strange thing was, all of them (besides the blue-haired guy) were wearing masks. There was one of a snake, a fox, a dragon, and a human-esk skull. It was pretty creepy.

"Misfits?"

"Did you say something Gray?"

"Hm? Oh, Erza, yeah actually. I remember meeting someone from the Misfits guild just a couple days ago before the games started. Jushiro, I think his name was, was really nice."

"Hm, then we'll have to get acquainted before we make any assumptions."

Gray nodded his head.

—Meanwhile—

As soon as their guild was called out, Ichigo and his team walked out of the tunnel, only to be greeted by silence.

"Why the hell is it so quiet?"

"Maybe we look intimidating."

"Or maybe it's these stupid masks. Why the hell do I have to where one, it doesn't even give me a power boost like your does."

"Because, Renji, you're sure to be recognized."

"Yeah right, like our hair doesn't give it away."

Ichigo snorted at the comment and was about to retort when Naruto nudged his shoulder.

"People coming, three o'clock."

He nodded and went up to greet the armored redhead.

"My name is Erza Scarlett, I'm from the Fairy Tail guild, and this is my teammate, Gray Fullbuster."

"Name's Lion and these are my teammates, Fox, Dragon, Snake, and the blue furry is Panther."

Said blue furry growled at that remark while the other three laughed. Though, 'Lion's' distorted voice and gold/black eyes did creep her out a bit. However, she noticed that only 'Fox', 'Lion', and 'Dragon' seemed to have a distortion in their voices (if Fox's and Dragon's laughter was anything to go by). She also noticed that he introduced himself and an animal, and called one of his comrades Fox as well. Two of the animals that Natsu had mentioned before he left.

"I look forward to competing against your guild."

"Likewise."

"AND NOW! In first place is also an upcoming guild, having only been registered a couple of months but has quickly risen the ranks, Hollowed Moon!"

The stadium roared to life once again in cheers as the first place team strolled out onto the field.

Though they had only been registered a couple months ago, their guild had swiftly climbed up the ranks and had made a name for themselves.

The group that came out we're all wearing cloaks. So it was hard to tell their face, but they all looked different. There was one really tall guy (who reminded Ichigo of Kenpachi or Komamura) and had a large blade strapped to his side that kind of looked like a pirate sword.

The one beside that guy had his hood down. He had long black hair slicked back, and face pulled into a smug smirk. Pale skin, and a staff at his side. He was about half the size of the first guy.

The third was definitely short; Dwarf even. He had a pudgy face, could hardly tell there was a neck, and a more round body. He had a cloak on, but you could see an ugly purple suit he had on underneath. When he smiled he hadrows of sharp teeth instead of normal human ones.

The fourth seemed relatively normal. Brown hair reaching down to his neck, and a more tanned complexion. He a serpent coiled around him and a sword strapped to his side.

The last was odd. Though that was probably because be was wearing full armor. Golden armor and a matching helmet atop his head.

All five radiated power, and it slightly unnerved the other competitors, though they quickly regained their composure.

Ichigo looked up to the booths where the "Misfits Guild" was sitting. He caught Toshiro's eye, and nodded. This is definitely the group they were looking for.

—Flashback—

They were in the library, just after the other group left to register the guild, and everyone had taken a seat in order to discuss what to expect.

Toshiro was the first to speak up, "Dragneel, what should we expect out of these games? How will we know that Aizen's forces will even compete in these games?"

"Well, the tournament itself is mainly just fighting. As for Aizen, well, if he wants a large concentration of souls and energy, the game is the perfect place for him to get that. The most powerful wizards and mages will be there, not to mention almost all of Crocus and the Kingdom."

Chad interrupted, speaking for the first time since they got there, "hang on. Why would Aizen come here?"

Hitsugaya answered, "that is because this dimension is known as the soulfull dimension. The reishi here is strong and there is a large magnitude of it in the air, allowing humans to use it and channel it through their bodies. Allowing them to use, as they call it, magic."

Renji interjected, "Ok, but what I want to know is how we are going to blend in. From what I understand there are millions different types of magic. It would be weird if all of us just happen to use the same type of magic."

Rukia looked thoughtful, "as much as I hate to admit it, Renji is right. We can't all be known to use the same excuse of 'sword magic'."

Natsu looked at them, "actually I have a solution," they all turned to him, "well, I mean, I can just say I use fire magic, Naruto has energy make, Grimm has take over, and Renji has transformation magic."

"What's transformation magic and how do I have it?"

"Well, you can just say that you are able to tranform your blade, like Bankai and Shikai."

"And Take over?"

"When he uses Pantera he turns into even more like a cat."

Said object of conversation growled at Natsu who just smirked at him.

Inoue immediately picked up a flaw though, "what about Ichigo? You didn't say anything for him."

Everyone then realized that detail and turned to look at Natsu and the orange haired shinigami in question.

"Oh, I though his was obvious. It's requip."

"Requip?"

"Oh, requip is the ability of summoning armor and weapons from a pocket dimension."

"And how would Kurosaki be able to do that?"

"Wait, you guys haven't seen his other armors? I mean, his bankai should be a given, but I thought it was obvious with his hell-"

Natsu was cut off when a fist hit him on the head. He turned to look at Ichigo whose eyes just acreamed, 'shut up' at him.

"Listen, just trust me. Requip is an understandable excuse."

"Would you care to elaborate?"

"Just trust me, if it comes down to it, you can see it in the tournament."

—End—

Least to say, they looked st him funny for the next few days until it was forgotten. Though the captains were a little less than happy to hear that he would indulge in information.

The group from the "Hollowed Moon Guild" looked at the Misfits and a couple smirked. Some stayed indifferent, and others remained silent.

"Well, well, well, if it ain't the runts. You all don't look like much, don't know why master is so afraid of you all. Even your guild name sounds weak."

The pudgy short one laughed at what he said, until the serpent-boy knocked him over the head.

"Quiet, Kuser, Aizen-sama said not to underestimate them. Especially those three," he said as he pointed to Ichigo, Naruto, and Natsu.

The pudgy one, Kuser, growled and walked away. The rest of the group following.

Natsu growled, "well, looks like they knew we were coming. There goes the element of surprise."

"Well, what do you expect. It's Aizen."

"ALRIGHT CONTESTANTS!! Time for the first round to begin!"

All of the teams were now in their designated booths. A banner with their guild symbol right below them.

"THE FIRST CHALLENGE IS CALLED SEEK! Teams! Choose your champions!"

Ichigo looked to Natsu, "you should go. If the name is seek, you have the best senses out of all of us, you'll probably be able to find what ever they want you to find."

Natsu nodded and headed down.

"Gajeel," said dragon looked at the red head Requip mage, "if the title is seek, they probably want you to find something. Dragon slayers have the best senses, you'll be able to find it."

"Heh, you got it."

Gajeel walked down to the arena.

"Chelia, you have the most endurance and agility out of all of us. Even if you go up against strong opponents, I know you'll be able to hold your own."

The pink haired girl looked at Lyon and smiled, "you can count on me!"

Chelia made her way down to the arena.

"Rogue, your a dragon slayer. I'm sure you can figure that out."

The Shadow dragon slayer just scowled as he made his way down to the arena.

"OKAY!! Here are out contestants!!

Quatro Cerberus; Bacchus Groh

Blue Pegasus; Eve Tearm

Mermaid Heel; Millianna

Lamia Scale; Chelia Blendy
