Enjoy!
Bacchus walked up to Cana while the Fairy Tail members were celebrating their wins.
"Now this looks like a party worth joining!" he said with a smirk.
Cana returned the smirk. "Oh yeah?"
Bacchus slammed a glass of beer on the table. "How 'bout a couple drinks to pass the time?"
"Ah, so we're skipping the introductions and getting right to the fun part." Cana said slyly, standing up. "You got something to prove, do ya?"
"Hey pal, take some free advice and walk away." Macao called, eyes wide.
"Her alcohol tolerance is about as strong as her daddy!" Wakaba agreed.
Twenty minutes later, Cana was lying down on the floor while Bacchus had another drink.
"You've got to be kidding me!" Macao and Wakaba shouted.
Bacchus cackled.
"I don't believe it!" Jet said.
"He literally just drank her under the table!" Laki said, stunned.
"I've never seen Cana drink until she drops before!" Warren finished.
"Thanks for the trophy, hot stuff!" Bacchus stumbled outside of the bar, swinging Cana's top in his hands.
"Do you have a death wish?!" Macao shouted.
"If Gildarts finds out he's gonna be pissed!" Wakaba continued.
Bacchus laughed again, eyes going slightly cross-eyed due to his inebriated state.
When the two men tried to take the blue top from him, the mage stumbled around for a few moments, before using his palms to push the two men into the ground.
"Is he crazy?"
"Get up dad!" Romeo urged.
"Is that you, Bacchus?" Erza asked, surprised.
"Well well, if it isn't Erza Scarlet." Bacchus muttered, getting up.
"Still a drunk." She said with a sigh.
"And if I was sober, you'd still be smoking hot." He commented.
"You sure know how to flatter a girl." Erza said dryly.
"You know him?" Lucy asked curiously, sipping at her milkshake. Usually she'd be drinking with the others, but she might need to fight tomorrow. There was no guarantee that you wouldn't fight two days in a row.
"I heard you'd gone into hiding a while back, it seemed like such a shame." Bacchus commented.
"Something like that. What about you?" Erza asked. "I hear you're actually competing in the Magic Games."
Bacchus laughed again. "At first I saw this little trip as an excuse to get hammered and sample the local color. But after watching Warcry make a fool out of himself and our guild my manly spirit for thirsty for vengeance! So I'm entering the Games as a reserve member and I plan to cause all kinds of trouble. My soul is shaken and stirred! Maybe we'll have our own little party in a battle round. It'd be nice to settle the score. You know what we say in our guild. We will always be-?"
"Wild." Erza said, rolling her eyes.
"At least you're still good for a chuckle Erza!" Bacchus cried.
With that, he walked out.
"Who was that walking distillery?" Gray asked.
"Bacchus, one of Quatro Cerberus' S-Class members." Erza answered, clenching her fist. "We've met on jobs more than a few times over the years. And I know his strength all too well. We've fought on many occasions. There's never been a clear winner."
'What?' everyone wondered, stunned.
"It's day two of the Grand Magic Games and the stands are exploding with excitement!" the judge cried. "Joining me once again is Yajima and today's guest judge is Jason from Sorcerer's Weekly!"
"So cool!" Jason cried.
"Oh great, that guy?" Gray asked with an annoyed sigh.
"Let's get back to the action already in progress as the mages take on the chariots! The point of this game is to reach the final goal without falling off! Simple, right? WRONG! The chariots are constantly in motion, and though it's at a snail's pace one move could cost you! The goal is to get through a rough and tumble race through Crocus and be the first to reach the finish line! For those of you with us at Domas-Flau, we'll be showing the action via crystal-clear lacrima vision!"
In another life, Natsu would have insisted on being the participant in this event, not realizing that the word 'chariot' really should've been a clue.
Luckily, he was on the reserve team, and because of that, Gajeel (who also would've felt motion sickness for the first time during this event), didn't fight to compete against him.
"Talk about a textbook case of rotten luck." Lector said with a frown. "This event is about Sting's one and only weakness, so the other guilds have no idea how easy they got off."
"Yeah, Sting would rock their face!" Frosch agreed cutely.
"In first place is Fairy Tail's Erza Scarlet and Ultear Milkovich! Next is Raven Tail's Black Snake, followed by Ichiya from Blue Pegasus, Yuka from Lamia Scale, and Risley Law from Mermaid Heel!"
"I'm surprised someone of your stature can keep up." Yuka commented.
"Don't underestimate the chubby." Risley warned.
"Coming up behind is Quatro Cerberus' reserve member Bacchus."
"Man, that guy is loud." Bacchus muttered. "Can't they let a guy work off a hangover in peace?"
"Feel my wave boost!" Yuka shouted, knocking Ichiya and Risley back. "Good luck using any magic when you're in my shockwave!"
"Weren't you listening before? Chubby power rules!" Risley cheered, and she was suddenly running on the side of the chariot.
"There it is! Risley's Gravity Change magic!" the judge announced. "She dodged Yuka's wave and is now making her way towards the leaders!"
"Magic Neutralizing Wave, huh?" Ichiya muttered, before sticking two tubes up his nose and using his magic to escape Yuka's assault as well.
Yuka scowled.
"Wow." Bacchus muttered. "They're really going all out, aren't they? Gets my soul all stirred up, ya know? Well, guess I might as well put a little effort in this after all!"
He stomped his foot, causing his chariot and the ones before it to break in half, throwing Risley, Ichiya, and Yuka flying.
"I don't believe it! Bacchus demolished the chariots with brute force!"
"Amazing!" Freed said, stunned.
"See ya later, losers!" Bacchus called, passing the other three. "Try not to fall off!"
Meanwhile, Erza and Ultear were neck and neck. They were trying to knock each other off the chariots, so no one could complain that they weren't trying, but they weren't exactly giving it their all. At this point, one of them would be in first place, and the other in second.
"Hello, ladies!" Bacchus called from a distance after passing the Raven Tail mage, before trying to jump over a few chariots to get to them.
Ultear and Erza both scowled in tandem, before Ultear used her Arc of Time magic to cause the chariots behind them to revert to their natural states.
Meaning a whole bunch of useless wood and metal.
"Useful." Erza commented, before using her cheetah-print Flight Armor, using its enhanced speed to get ahead of Ultear, getting to the finish line in mere moments.
"Thanks." Ultear muttered with a sigh, though she crossed the line shortly after Erza did.
"And Fairy Tail Team B's Erza Scarlet is in first place, while Team A's Ultear Milkovich comes in at a close second!" the judge shouted. "Next we have Bacchus from Quatro Cerberus, Black Snake from Raven Tail, Risley Law from Mermaid Heel, Yuka from Lamia Scale, Ichiya from Blue Pegasus, and Sting Eucliffe coming in at dead last!"
"Honestly, why would a dragon slayer riddled with motion sickness participate in this?" Yajima asked with a sigh, shaking his head.
