Kagura and Milliana's turn! ^_^
"All right, its time for the second match, Lamia Scale's Lyon & Yuka! And here come the lovely ladies of Mermaid Heel, give it up for Kagura and Milliana!" Chapati announced.
"Are ya feeling pretty pumped?! You can cheer louder than that let me hear ya!" Milliana yelled to the crowd.
"So what do ya think Yajima-san? Who's going to come out on top?" Chapati asked.
"Honestly, this one could go either way. I can assure you it's going to be an exciting match." Yajima commented.
"Lyon and Yuka are formidable foes! Stay focused, okay Milliana?!" Erza yelled down.
Gajeel looked at her and grinned, "Heh well well, you're rooting for Mermaid Heel now are ya?"
Erza smiled, "Yeah, I've known Milliana a long time. I consider her a friend, can you blame me for supporting her."
Laxus looked over at Gray, "What about you? Your old buddy Lyon is about to go to battle for Lamia Scale, don't you wanna help him out a little?"
"Why should I?" Gray dismissed calmly, "Doesn't make sense to help another guild, not when our teams are rivals."
Erza chuckled then looked over at Natsu's solemn face, "What's the matter, Natsu?"
Natsu looked over at her, "It's just that Lucy, Elfman, and the others probably wished they could watch the matches too."
"Hm," Erza nodded her head in agreement before she smiled, "In that case, we'll just have to try and remember all of the details. That way we can tell them about it later."
"Yeah, great idea," he grinned, "Okay, lets do it!" he felt something land on his head and saw it was Timcanpy, "Hey there buddy, did you come watch the match for Lucy?" he held the golem.
Timcanpy nodded.
"Hold on, can't this little guy record things?" Gray questioned.
"Your right, he can." Erza remembered.
"Hey yeah, you can record stuff can't ya?" Natsu grinned.
Tim nodded.
"Think you can record the match for Lucy and the others to watch later?" Natsu asked.
The cross on Tim started glowing signaling he was recording the match.
"Thanks Tim, you're the best." Natsu rubbed his head.
"That little golem truly is something else isn't he?" a new voice spoke up making them all jump. Turning around they saw it was Bookman.
"Geez, you scared the hell out of us!" Gray had a hand to his heart as it started beating rapidly.
"My apologies, but Timcanpy took off all of a sudden and I was curious as to know why. Looks like he came to see all of you." Bookman approached Natsu and Erza standing between them.
"Yeah, he's probably worried about Lucy too." Natsu added.
"I don't doubt it, two of our members are currently guarding the infirmary making sure Sabertooth doesn't try anything." Bookman informed them.
"Who?" Gajeel asked.
"Young, Yukino and Flare." The old man said.
Erza smiled, "The two of them have come a long way, especially Flare."
"Yeah, didn't think she'd change from psycho to protective." Laxus stated crossing his arms.
"People do change, it's rare but it does happen." Bookman stated.
Natsu looked at Bookman and grinned, "Looks like we'll be fighting each other in the Tag Battles."
Bookman looked at the boy, "So it would seem. Make sure you give those Sabertooth punks a good thrashing."
Natsu's grin grew wider, "You bet, gramps!"
Bookman smirked.
"Why tell us this?" Erza questioned.
Bookman looked at the arena, "The battle between you and Sabertooth was destined to happen, we have no right to interfere and therefore we won't. like I told the young man behind me, we only entered the games to prevent Raven Tail from harming Fairy Tail."
Laxus smirked remembering him tell him that, the others were surprised though.
"You entered the games…because of that?" Erza said.
"Correct," Bookman said, "Komui wanted to repay you all somehow and felt like keeping an eye on Raven Tail was the way to do it. That's why we entered the games. But now, after this we will make an announcement to drop out."
"What?! Why?!" Gray exclaimed.
"We have achieved our goal, there's no reason for us to participate anymore." Bookman stated.
"Sorry gramps, but that's not gonna happen." Natsu told him.
"Hm?"
"You've gotta stay in the games…cause I wanna fight Allen!" Natsu declared.
"Do you now?"
Natsu looked over at Archangels seeing Allen get into it will Kanda, "The first time I saw him fight against that guy from Sabertooth I already decided I wanna fight him. Plus, Allen's my friend, and I wanna see us end the games together!"
Bookman felt a smirk creep to his face, "I will be sure to tell him that, you're an interesting one aren't you?"
"That he is." Erza agreed.
"More like stupid." Gray snorted.
"What was that, you underwear freak?!" Natsu growled.
"You heard me!"
Bookman sighed, "I don't know who's worse, Allen and Kanda or these two."
"Both." Erza, Gajeel, and Laxus commented.
Happy turned to Levy, "Just letting you know, that I'm gonna be rooting for Mermaid Heel. And that's only because I've known Milliana since the whole Tower of Heaven thing went down."
Levy smiled, "Well, I'm gonna be cheering for Lamia Scale. It's the least I can do since their always helping us."
Wakaba had lecherous grin plastered in his face, "You do that kid, meanwhile we're gonna be rooting for Mermaid Heel cause their hotties."
Levy gave them a deadpanned look and sighed then turned towards Juvia, "Let me guess, your gonna be cheering for Lyon aye Juvia?"
Mira and Cana sat on each side of her, "So, has he declared his undying feelings for you yet?"
"Oh, come on you can tell us. Our inquiring minds wanna know." Mira smiled.
Juvia looked down, "Well…kinda. I guess he did."
Lavi grinned, "Hey Yuu, Kagura's fighting."
"What of it?" Kanda growled.
"Aren't ya gonna cheer her on, after all…she liiiikkkkeess you~" Lavi teased.
Allen snickered his shoulder shaking as he was trying to hold in his laughter, "T-That was g-good…" he snorted.
Kanda gave Lavi the most murderous glare he could muster, "How about I just slice you to pieces and feed you Moyashi?" he growled.
"Hah?! As if I'd eat Lavi! He's inedible!" Allen yelled indigently.
"That's not what you should be yelling about!" Lavi exclaimed, "And what's wrong with eating me?!"
"Your eating habits are non-healthy!" Allen stated.
"Like you have room to talk!" Lavi shot back.
Lenalee, Marie and Link sighed, "Idiots." They muttered.
"Exactly." Kanda agreed.
"We're getting close, only one more match before Fairy Tail finally goes head to head with Archangels and Sabertooth." Makarov stated.
Mavis smiled at him, "Well I'm not worried because I believe in them. They'll be fine, and I'm sure Archangels will give them a good fight."
"Yes, but there's a chance they might go after Sabertooth themselves and completely ignore us." Makarov said.
Mavis giggled, "Something tells me that they'll let Fairy Tail handle Sabertooth. I believe in them."
Makarov smiled, "So do I."
Kagura noticed Milliana was in another world and called out to her, "Milliana, you need to focus."
"Kay, I swear I will." Milliana swore.
Kagura stared at her, "Tell you what, I'm going to let you take a shot at them first. I'll be standing by if you need me." She walked away.
"Hey wait, all alone?" Milliana looked at her.
"You need to gain more experience," Kagura stated, "This is your opportunity to show me what you can do. Don't treat it like a game, it's a serious fight. Don't let me down Milliana."
"I won't," Milliana looked back at Lyon and Yuka, "I'll beat them, you just watch."
Kagura made eye contact with Kanda who gave her a curt nod, which she returned, 'If you fight in the finals…then I want to be the one to fight you.'
"We can't get lazy just because their girls, yea hear?" Yuka told Lyon, "Their tough, so we've got to give everything we've got in this battle."
"Especially is we want to beat Kagura," Lyon stated, "That's it!" he looked over at Fairy Tail and spotted Juvia, "If I can earn victory for Lamia Scale, then Juvia will fall in love with me!"
Yuka sweat-dropped, "Ah geez…get your priorities straight man."
"Hey you boys, you better kick some butt this round or I'll take you both for a spin!" Lamia Scale's master declared.
"Remember, you've only got 30 minutes to seal the deal. Now, let the match begin." Mato declared as the gong struck.
"If you snooze, you lose!" Milliana took off her cloak and jumped high in the air.
Yuka and Lyon got ready.
Holding out her hand a pink magic circle appeared, "Nekōsoku Chūbu (Nekōsoku Tube)!" an orange binding tube shot at them forcing both boys to dodge. As soon as she landed she came at them.
"Whoa, is Milliana really gonna fight them all by herself?" Beth wondered.
"I don't think she's ready to take Lamia Scale all on her own." Araña stated.
Risley grinned, "Well Kagura seems to think that she can handle it. Let's just hope she's right."
Lavi whistled, "Damn, that girl's scary with those things."
Allen nodded, "She's really skilled, but is she going to be okay against both Lyon ad Yuka?"
"Kagura's just standing off to the side, so she must think she can." Lenalee said.
Kanda said nothing and simply watched.
Milliana was swinging her tube around, "I don't need any help with these guys!" she declared swinging it again as they dodged out of the way.
"It's going to be embarrassing if she beats both of them." Sherry said.
"We'll be the laughing stock of the tournament." Sherria stated.
"I don't know what your up to Mermaid Heel, but we're not gonna let you get away with it! Go get 'em Lyon and Yuka! Show those hussies what happens when you mess with Lamia Scale!" Lamia Scale's master yelled spinning in place.
Lyon and Yuka grit their teeth, "Hey, why's Kagura just standing there?!" Yuka demanded.
"Good question, bet I can get her to fight." Lyon got in an ice-make pose, "Aisu-Meiku: Īguru (Ice-Make: Eagle)!" he sent ice eagles at Kagura who just stood there but Milliana shattered them all using her tube.
"I'm your opponent, not her!" Milliana declared.
"Hadō (Wave)!" Yuka sent wave projectiles at Milliana who dodged them all by jumping around like a cat, then jumped high in the air.
"Holy!" Yuka looked up.
"Kitoun Burasuto (Kitten Blast)!" Milliana sent pink tubes at Yuka but it only glowed.
"What?! That was just a fake out?!" Yuka covered his eyes with his arm.
"I've got you now!" Milliana wrapped her legs around Yuka's neck and started punching him in the face.
"Man that's gotta hurt! Who would have thought that such a cute little cat girl could be so incredibly vicious!" Chapati announced.
"Whoa, that's one hardcore kitty!" Happy yelled.
Lavi couldn't help but laugh his ass off at Yuka's plight.
Allen sighed, "Stop laughing at him Lavi."
"Milliana's a lot tougher than she looks, isn't she?" Lenalee said.
"Indeed." Link agreed.
"She's definitely not holding back in this fight. She must feel more confident knowing that Kagura's there if she needs her." Erza smiled.
Milliana jumped off Yuka and smirked, "What's the matter boys? Your not scared are you? Then again, maybe you should be case I've been training with Kagura daily," she took off her gloves revealing red claws, "Himitsu no buki: Sukuratchi Kōgeki (Secret Weapon: Scratch Attack)!" she scratched both of their faces.
"Awww, what's the mater? Did I give you a boo boo?" Milliana taunted.
Both males glared at her.
"I certainly didn't see this coming, Milliana is actually holding her own against those two. And their a couple of Lamia Scale's strongest." Chapati commented.
"I think its those nimble cat like moves of hers, the way she bounces around in battle would throw anyone off." Yajima stated.
"Stupid cat girl," Yuka growled, "I'm gonna rip out those claws of hers."
"If we wanna win this round we'll have to step up our game." Lyon got into position.
Million sent another tube at them.
Yuka grinned, "Here we go!" using his wave as a shield, "It's useless! My waves can nullify any magic attack!"
"Oh yeah?! Then nullify this!" Milliana sent seven tubes at him taking Yuka by surprise.
"You can throw more than one of them at a time?!" Yuka was taken back.
Milliana grinned, "I can show you just how many if you really want me to!"
Yuka made a bigger shield but one of the tubes got his wrist latching onto it.
"Aisu-Meiku: Īguru (Ice-Make: Eagle)!" Lyon sent an ice shaped eagle at Yuka's restraint wrist freeing him.
"She's throwing some more!" Lyon warned.
"That's right! Just try and stop me!" Milliana grinned.
Lyon and Yuka did their best to dodge them but both ended up getting caught in her binds.
"Well boys, are you ready to surrender yet?" Milliana smirked.
"Now what'll we do? At this rate…I'll never be able to impress Juvia!" Lyon said.
Yuka sweat-dropped at him, "You have gotta be kidding me, get a grip."
"Its not over yet," Lyon moved his one free hand, "I've got more than skill I have intelligence," he clenched his fist, "You may be faster, but I'm much smarter! Aisu-Meiku: Nezumi (Ice-Make: Mouse)!" an ice shaped mouse landed before Milliana.
The mouse began to move around making Milliana look at it, she began to chase the mouse all over the field, "It's a mousey, yay! Hey, wait up!" she then stopped chasing it glaring at Lyon, "That was a dirty trick, jerk face!"
Lyon smirked, "You need to chill out kitty!" making the field become a whole blizzard.
Milliana shivered, "It's freezing…cat's hate being stuck out in the cold…" she then spotted a kotatsu an ran right to it, "Oh, that looks warm! Cat's love snuggling up to the heaters its so nice and toasty~ I can stay here forever~" she then pushed it away, "Cut it out ice freak, or I'm gonna scratch out your eye balls!"
Lavi was cackling like a madman, "Th-this guys a genius…."
Allen couldn't help but sigh, "Milliana-san is too predictable."
Lenalee nodded.
Risley clicked her tongue, "Ugh, talk about playing dirty! How dare he torment Milliana like that!"
Araña frowned, "Well that Lyon has quite the reputation. He's deviously cunning."
Beth deadpanned, "Uhhh…don't you think you might be giving him too much credit?"
"Did you see that Juvia? Were you impressed by my clever strategy?" Lyon smiled up at her.
Juvia edged away from him slowly.
'That's not the reaction I expected!' Lyon looked disheartened.
Kagura stood there observing them, 'Lyon has a reputation as a skilled wizard, but has yet to land a single attack on Milliana.'
Yuka frowned, "We need to hurry, it feels like we've been fighting them for a while. We're running out of time."
Lyon narrowed his eyes, "Well in that case, I was saving this spell for our battle with Kagura but…Aisu-Meiku: Sunō Taigā (Ice-Make: Snow Tiger)!" a created a large snow tiger that rushed towards Milliana making her jump away from it.
Milliana ran away, "I like kitty cats, but tigers not so much!" she didn't watch where she was going and ended up running into a wall sliding down, "I'm so sorry…Kagura."
Kagura walked forward, "Unfortunately it seems I'm gonna have to fight after all." She eyed them both.
"We're so glad you could join us, lets go!" Lyon declared.
"Less talking more fighting! Hadō (Wave)!" Yuka sent a wave at Kagura who just stood there waiting as it passed her.
"An attack that nullifies an opponents magic? Impressive," Kagura complimented as he sent another one but Kagura split it in half with her sword still sheathed, "But against me…its pointless." She stated charging at him.
"This match is getting intense folks! Kagura doesn't even have to draw her sword to lay the smack down on her opponents! Heck, she's not even using her magic!" Chapati announced.
Yuka got some distance between them, "Hadō (Wave)!" before the attack could go near her she was already behind him much to his shock.
"Too slow." She sent a strike at his back sending him down for the count.
The crowd cheered for Kagura.
"Poor Yuka couldn't even get in a single hit before he was knocked out cold! Lamia Scale's in trouble now! Looks like it's gonna be Kagura vs. Lyon in a one on one battle!" Chapati announced.
Kagura looked over at the Archangel's booth and made eye contact with Kanda who gave her a slight nod. She returned it and looked back at Lyon, 'Since it's you watching me, then I must ensure not to fail.'
"She defeated Yuka without drawing her sword," Laxus observed, "She's more powerful than I thought."
"Kagura Mikazuchi…its clear that she's a skilled fighter." Erza stated.
"She's not bad, but I bet she wouldn't last a second against my iron dragon sword, Gihihi." Gajeel grinned.
Gray didn't comment.
Kagura spoke first, "I've heard a lot about you, apparently you once called yourself the cold emperor and you preformed a dangerous ritual in hopes of fighting the demon Deliora."
"That was a long time ago, now I'm just Lyon Vastia. A wizard with Lamia Scale, nothing more nothing less," Lyon stated, "You know something? You remind me a lot of myself years ago, but that's not a compliment because I was consumed by bitterness and hatred back then."
She closed her eyes, "I have a question for you. I noticed that you never attacked Milliana directly, were you holding back just because she's a girl. Or were you worried that in doing so you might reveal your secrets to me?"
Lyon smirked, "Good question. Maybe you'll find out the answer during our battle! Aisu-Meiku: Tonbo (Ice-Make: Dragonfly)!" he sent ice dragonfly's at Kagura.
She opened her eyes and charged at him dodging the ice dragonfly's as she came at him.
"Aisu-Meiku: Īguru (Ice-Make: Eagle)!" she swing her sword at him before he could send out the eagles to attack her knocking him to the ground but he got right back up.
"Are you going to attack? Because I thought we came here to fight?! I'm losing my patience!" Kagura yelled.
"Me too, so let's hurry and get this over with!" Lyon agreed getting into an ice-make pose, "Aisu-Meiku: Sunō Taigā (Ice-Make: Snow Tiger)!" the ice tiger appeared at his side, "And now, Aisu-Meiku: Sunō Eipu (Ice-Make: Snow Ape)!" an ice ape appeared on his other side, "Aisu-Meiku: Sunō Doragon (Ice-Make: Snow Dragon)!" an ice dragon appeared behind him, "I doubt that even you are capable of avoiding three of them!"
"Look at all those ice creations! He's amazing!" Lenalee complimented.
Allen nodded, "Something tells me Kagura-san will take them down."
Kanda said nothing as he watched the battle.
All three creations came at her but she jumped high in the air avoiding them, one managed to get a hit on her though but she landed on the ground safely staring up at them, "Do you honestly think this is going to be enough to defeat me? Your wrong!" her sword glowed blood red and a huge red magic circle appeared in the sky lifting all three creation above her including Lyon.
"Holy!" Lavi's eyes bulged out of his head, "She's a hell of a lot stronger than I thought!"
"She's amazing…" Allen stared.
Kanda simply watched on.
"Wow…she's so powerful!" Lyon observed in the air.
Kagura launched herself in the air shattering all three creations then came back around, "Your done for!"
The gong sounded.
Kagura stopped her sheathed sword inches from his face.
"You know what that bell means, I'm afraid your time is up! I declare this match a draw!" Mato announced.
"You heard the man ladies and gentlemen! Looks like we've got yet another draw on our hands!" Chapati announced.
"Damn…that Lyon guy got lucky." Lavi said.
"He did." Allen agreed.
Kanda watched as Kagura walked away from Lyon.
"The crowd is still going wild over our last match, but the next one is sure to be just as exhilarating!" Chapati announced.
Mavis leaned forward, "That means it's our turn now!"
"Yep, we're up." Macao smiled.
"It's about damn time." Wakaba grinned.
"And now, the moment you've all been waiting for! The last round of the day will be Archangel's Allen & Kanda against Fairy Tail's very own dragon slayers Natsu & Gajeel against Sabertooth's dragon slayers Sting & Rogue!" Chapati announced as the crowd went wild.
Natsu and Gajeel grinned seeing they were going to get the chance to battle Allen and Kanda.
Bookman blinked, "Well now, looks like you'll be getting your wish in fighting Allen."
"Hell ya!" Natsu cheered.
"Gihihi, samurai kid huh?" Gajeel grinned.
Allen sighed, "Oh well, might as well accept it. But why do I have to be paired with you?"
"You took the words right out of my mouth, Moyashi." Kanda sighed himself.
"Knock it off, you two and get down there already." Lenalee scolded.
Both boys grumbled under their breaths and walked away.
Lavi grinned, "This should be good. Yuu might go after Sabertooth first."
"You know he will, but he'll probably let Natsu and Gajeel handle them." Lenalee smiled.
Link smiled himself, "I agree."
Next Time: Dai Matō Enbu: Archangels vs. Dragons!
