The first event was called hidden.
"guys this event involves stealth so sorry Laxus and Gajeel but you're out for this one you to Mira, Juvia if grey is taking part your out to it will only be a distraction so it's either you or me for this one." I stated to them just as grey stepped up to the plate. Juvia stepped back and I stepped up.
"From fairy tail B team it's . . . well as she said earlier the queen of shadows. But what's her actual name?" Lola asked looking to Yajima-san for help. "Do you know who that is?" he asked Yajima smiled and nodded. If he calls me that I swear I'll.
"It's the fairy shadow, the master of shadow magic from shadow make to even another kind of magic all together although I won't say what kind" he stated causing gasps from the audience and worried looks from other competitors. I sighed before interrupting "I'm Rekai S-Class mage of fairy tail although I am known by a few other names, Queen of shadows, the undefeated Fairy, Just take a pick" I stated jumping down in my signature outfit. Full length faded black skinny jeans, tight purple tang top, dark blue ribbon rapped around my guild mark and purple scale earrings.
"Wait I thought Rekai was a dude" someone shouted from the audience but I brushed it off. It was the name that gave people that idea. I no longer took offence.
I walked over to the other competitors.
Eve of blue Pegasus
Yeager of curator Cerberus
Beth of Mermaid heel
Rufus of Sober tooth
Null pudding of raven tail
Grey from fairy tail team A
Lyon of Lamia scale
And myself from Fairy tail B team.
"Ok any questions before we start" Mato asked looking around. Grey being the idiot he is asked if the pumpkin was really a pumpkin.
"Grey grow up" I told him seriously. Null pudding of raven tail stepped in at this point and started to complain that either way fairy tail will get points but no one else was bothered, believing we were all talk and no game, so we were transported into a town created by magic and hard copies of every contestant appeared around me, it's a good thing Juvia hadn't volunteered as she would have hugged a copy and gotten points deduction. I sighed before merging with the shadows and searching out my prey.
Not long after I started I saw Beth running around trying to find an opponent. I snuck up behind her and swiped her legs before going back into the shadows as she was teleported to a different location. I neared grey as he was facing off against Lyon. I jumped in and punched Lyon and kicked grey.
"Sorry stripper's no hard feelings" and with that I disappeared and struck null pudding as he flew past me in surprise. If he was surprised that I attacked grey then he should get his shit straight, we were enemies during these matches and I wasn't going to let anything stop me from winning. I soon found eve. He had grown into such a strong opponent so I simply stepped out of the shadows and faced him head on.
"It's been a while Eve" I said grabbing his attention. He looked shocked but smirked and sent his snow at me, which I countered with my own snow magic. We kept this up for a few minutes before we both sent out spells to hit each other and dodged so I took to the shadows and came out behind him about to tackle hug but he dodged and got behind me before hitting my back. Which was still recovering from burns. I was teleported to somewhere else in the city but I merely merged back into the shadows and went on a search for the tiger. On my way I found Yeager so I gave him a quick hit and moved on.
"A…Amazing Rekai is destroying them out there. She's only been hit once but where is Rufus-san?" Lola asked. I noticed that as well. He is hiding somewhere. He is planning a full scale attack to hit every one so he must be high up.
"and that's exactly where I'll go" I mumbled with a sadistic smirk before making my way to the highest spot in the town and low and behold there he was, I stepped out the shadows in front of him with a smirk. I laughed at him before having a little fun.
"my, my aren't you a sly wee cat, hiding all the way up here, too bad for you didn't hid well enough. " and with that we both unleashed our spells. He used his memory make using a spell called "night of the falling stars" it's a high level spell but it had a two second default before it strikes that's when you move out of the way. I decided to use a modified version of the spell called Shadow Requiem night of the falling sky. The spell was very similar but instead of having a default it locks on and follows its target until it hits its mark, no matter where it is
I dodged his attack as mine hit its target. In one consecutive moment multiple shadows and golden light struck every opponent, it even hit him, full force might I add, sending off of the roof before he was teleported away. Null pudding, who had probably been teleported closer to the spot due to a double hit, tried to attack me again as well as grey but I dodged greys attack causing null puddings attack to hit him before I struck null pudding. After that the timer went off and I looked at the score board.
In first place was me with 13 hits and 1 losses. 10 points
In joint second was Rufus and eve both with 6 hits and 1 loss. 8 points
In third was Null pudding with 4 hits and 2 hits. 6 points
In forth was Lyon with 3 hits and 1 loss. 4 points
In Fifth was Beth with 2 hits and 2 losses. 3 point
In sixth was Yeager with 1 hit and 1 loss. 2 point
And in seventh place, dead last, was grey with 0 hits and 5 losses. 1 points
"Amazing fairy tail B team is in the lead beating Saber tooth" Lola exclaimed as the crowd went wild. Rufus looked shocked that he had lost and against a fairy no less.
"She is quiet amazing when she isn't playing around. Maybe she will show us that side at some point" Jenny commented causing most people to back track.
"She was…Playing" Lola stuttered. Yajima nodded in agreement with Jenny and even Eve nodded knowing if I was serious I wouldn't have
"Oi, Rufus right? You are good" I stated before walking away from him with a smirk. He had brains and skill something that you rarely see in mages, it's either brain or brawn. I look forward to a good rematch with him latter.
Next was the battle round and first up was Lucy of fairy tail A team against Flare of raven tail. The match was boring to say the least. Literally summon a spirit, attacked by hair, cut the hair, get burned, lose momentum and finally fuck up a spell that could have been impressive and let your team down. Well done Bimbo Blondie.
The next match Ren Akatuski of Blue Pegasus and Ariana Web of Mermaids heel. It was a good match to watch and in the end Ren won the match.
The third match Orga versus War cry from Quatro Cerberus, Orga ended the match in one hit. I would call it impressive but really war cry was weak. Orga took the mick at the end and started to sing. He was awful and so to keep my hearing I confiscated the mick, giving it back to Mato and with a click of my fingers he was back in his guild balcony, tied and gaged. Many people sighed in relief and Gajeel and Laxus thanked me extensively.
"No problem guys. Seriously people who can't sing really should try in a place where there a dragon slayers present" I stated and Orga through a fit as the shadow kid ripped the shadow bindings off and ate them discreetly. Well kids gotta eat and when free food is there take it.
"Who the hell do you think you are?!" the god slayer brute yelled at me. I smirked and made a gun shape with my hands and fired a shadow from its tip which just missed his head and embedded in the balcony wall which cracked at the pressure
"I am your worst nightmare" I responded, satisfied that I had traumatised him enough. I turned back and watched the final match.
The last match was Jura versus Me. I smirked as I jumped down and walked onto the field and faced off against a worthy opponent.
"Been a while Jura." I stated as the gong rang and I dodged a rock pillar. I dodged for some time before getting to work and tried to fight back.
I used "Shadow Wing" which was wing slash of the shadow dragon with a shortened name and destroyed some of the rock around us before drawing one of my blades, infusing it with shadows and flinging it down before doing the same with the other blade and the dagger. They formed a triangle around Jura but he hadn't noticed so I moved inside the triangle and activated the spell I had set.
"Shadows combine and light fade.
Darkness fall and conceal.
Shadow barrier" I said calmly not giving away what it did. To be honest the first two lines of this spell didn't do anything but it was fun and made the person think there was more to it that what there originally appears to be. Jura smirked but the thing with a shadow barrier is similar to the shadow cages I make. It stops magic being used.
"It's a fight of brute strength now Jura" I said before going in to attack. Kick, dodge, dodge, punch, kick, back flip, hit right hock, jab. The fist fight soon came to an end once I got a clear hit on the nap of Jura's neck. He was paralysed and so I disintegrated the barrier and looked around before collecting my weapons which had acted as conductors to keep the barrier together. The Stadium was silent but soon a slow clap started before escalating to a roar of applauds and cheers. I looked up to the guild and waved before going back to the box and leaning against the wall.
"The winner is… Rekai" Chapatti Lola yelled getting over his shock as the paralysis wore off and Jura could once again move.
"Oi, Jura" I yelled down. He looked up and nodded and I grinned. "Best match I've had in ages" I complimented. The games came to a close and I decided to go for a walk. I told the others and they nodded. I left the arena and I went to see Porlyusica for more medicine for the chest pains and something for my back. I bumped into Lyon on the way there and he asked how I had defeated Jura before leaving me alone after I told him I made a trap and waited for an opportunity. I left the infirmary not long after with more pain killers and ointment and headed to find Sora. On my search I bumped into the Trimen and thankfully Ichiya-san wasn't with them.
"Rekai-Chan" eve stated giving me a hug which I gladly returned. He was gentle on my back since he could tell it was still hurt by the way I reacted after he hit it during the 'Hidden' game. Eve had grown, something I hadn't notice last time I saw him, and was now taller than me so I had to look up at him to ask him my question.
"Neh, Eve-kun have you seen Sora-Chan anywhere?" I asked as I pulled away only to be pulled into another hug by Hibiki.
"I have she was following a small red cat and a pink frog" Hibiki purred into my ear, I giggled knowing exactly which cat it was. I pulled away and looked at them all before telling them who the cat was.
"That little red cat belongs to that blond brat, she wants a fight and I'm not going to stop her… no clue about the little pink frog thing though" I stated leaning against a wall with a smirk. Eve laughed at my reaction to my precious friends motives.
"So have I been missed?" I asked looking over them all. They had all changed, well maybe not hibiki but his hair was slightly longer than before and Ren had only ditch the pony tail, but the one who had changed most was definitely eve.
"Damn why did you have to get tall?" I asked eve with a pout since I was now the shortest in the group. Eve laughed and Hibiki pulled me back into his chest.
"Eve got two hugs so it only fair that I do too" he complained so I hugged him back and looked around and decided it was only fair that Ren also got a hug so I detached myself from Hibiki and glomped Ren and hung from his shoulders with my feet dangling above the ground.
"Hiya Ren" I cheered happily and Ren blushed so I got down and he went into Tsun-Tsun mode.
"Not like I missed you or anything" he mumbled turning his head away as his blush increased. I giggle, yes I giggled so sue me. I am a girl you know. A slightly sadistic girl but still a girl.
"So any new changes since I last seen you guys?" I asked and Hibiki and Eve pointed to Ren immediately, so he had news. Gossip time.
"So… Ren what's the Goss'?" I asked and he blushed a deep red and stuttered and spluttered an incoherent response. Eve laughed at the poor attempt at human communication and Hibiki decided he would translate for his Tsundere friend.
"Ren got Engaged!" he exclaimed and I, literally, looked like a fish out of water. Seriously Ren got engaged before Hibiki. No way, are they serious.
"Seriously?" I asked in disbelief. Ren glared at me and I heard the sound of heels against the floor and turned only for a whirl wind of Pink dash past and attach its self to Ren. Again I became a fish. That Pink 'thing' was Sherry Blendy of Lamia scale.
"Ren and Sherry. Seriously?" I asked again as Sherry took in the fact that I was there with the boys…alone. She didn't look happy before realising that I had asked about them being an 'item'.
"Ren and I are engaged!" Sherry exclaimed happily giving Ren a proper hug causing him to turn red once again. I smiled at their moment. I was happy for them, as long as I got an invite to the wedding.
"Congratulations guys. So do I get an invite?" I asked innocently since I have never, in my life, been to a wedding. Ren sighed but smiled slightly and ruffled my hair, which I hated, and so I sent him a snow ball to the chest.
"Don't do that." I told him as Hibiki laughed and rested his elbow on my shoulder and eve rested his chin on my head. I was fuming but I have an idea.
"Sherry-nee-Chan Eve, Hibiki and Ren are bullying me" I groaned and sherry squealed and pulled me into a tight embrace, which, I think, was her version of a bear hug.
"How could you boys bully the poor girl? Shame on you" she scolded before I spotted Ichiya heading our way so I told sherry and the Trimen I was going to retrieve Sora before she got into trouble and left them to their own devices.
When I found her she was struggling in the blond brats grasp I went up to him and back handed him and tore Sora from his grasp before giving him a good glare.
"What the hell do you think you're doing to Sora?" I asked menacingly. He spluttered before walking away from me and so I walked away from him at a fast rate to get Sora away from him.
When I made it back to the bar where everyone was partying like mad. I moved to a secluded corner and set sora down and handed her a glass of Orange juice.
"Sora what were you thinking going after that cat… and pink frog?" I asked looking at her in concern. She looked down in shame with a trembling lip.
"I just wanted to challenge him to a fight to show him that we're strong" she mumbled and letting out her tears. I pulled her into a hug to comfort her "I just wanted to prove I'm as strong as you" she cried. I hugged her tighter shushing her and rocking her back and forth in comfort.
"Oh Sora believe it or not you're stronger than I am. I hid in the shadows and behind my spells, but mentally I don't have the same kind of strength as you" I stated pulling her way from my chest and placed her on the table.
"I went up to the red cat, I challenged him to a fight and he said why should he fight someone so weak so I got mad and hit him just as the blond person arrived and picked me up and started to shout at me, I was scared and then you came and. . . I'm not strong like you I can't do anything" she cried harder drawing the guilds attention. I was angry now, so very angry that she had been made to think like this.
"Oh Sora you're not weak. You're my strength, my nakama and that alone makes you strong. You're as strong as your nakama and our nakama is so very strong. My mama always told me I was she was only as strong as our bonds" I said loud enough for the whole guild to here before continuing "you're my partner Sora and I'm only as strong as my Weakest guild member and today I got my strength from you. You are not weak. You're the strongest exceed I have ever met" after my speech sora cheered up and went to play with happy. I would ask about the pink foggy later.
The guild partied the night away as a family. My family. I think it's about time to give one of my toasts. I haven't given one in seven years. I think now would be best. I stood up and raised my glass.
"A toast to being on top" I yelled and the other cheered and toasted along with me.
"A toast to master" Kinanna yelled along with me and we all had fun and enjoyed just being fairy tail. Just being us. Just being a family.
"If you could see me now mama I'm sure you would be proud." I mumbled before I went to sleep looking forward to tomorrow and tomorrow Sora shall sit with me in the competitor's box.
