FAIRY TAIL
The second stage of Elimination match was about to begin with Fiara Howl guild and Lamia scale. "My heart beating up to see the game!" yelled the commentator
Jack waiting for his opponent from Lamia Scale and thought in his mind that human's are slow. Soon, a teenage boy came in to the stage representing Lamia Scale, he has bluish silver hair, most of which are spiky strands that jut upwards on top of his head, except for some which are kept pointing down and partially cover the upper right part of his face. He wear sported a white jacket reaching down below his waist, distinguished by large, dark fur trimmings around the neck and cuffs, together with similarly dark belts circling each of his arms, one above his elbow, and another above his furry cuff. Below this jacket, the boy wore a high-collared tunic just reaching down to his waist, and colored extremely dark purple, with lighter purple edges, black and red pants and brown boots.
"Took you long enough"
"Oh! Could he be!? Yes…the one who represented for Lamia Scale is none other than the son of the ice mage Lyon Vastia, Eric Vastia!"
"So, that's Lyon's son..." Gray thought in his mind.
"Stage two will begin...now!" the commentator yelled again and begin the match.
"I should warn you, I'm not going to hold back...you human will suffer from my magic" Jack said, an immense aura and magic flew from his hand and surrounding. "Wow! What is this...what type of magic is this?"
Jack rush towards Lyon who was still standing, the ice mage watch him before creates a large pieces of ice in front of him, which then quickly reform into hexagonal pieces arranged in a shield-like barrier to protect him from Jack's attack. The ice proves to be melt after hit by Jack's attack, Eric proceeds to cast various types of ice animals and attack Jack.
"Ice molding..."
Jack appal upon seeing Eric sudden punch from nowhere hit him on the face. "You maybe can melt my ice but you have zero imagination of what I'm about to attack you using it" said Eric, he hit the ground and massive spiky ice appear and hit Jack continuously, he was bleeding after taking the damage. "Pretty nice attack...but I have enough of it"
"Huh?"
Eric was strike by a powerful blast from Jack. The audience as well as Lamia Scale shocked to see the attack. Meanwhile, Azee went to Fiara Howl members were watching the game followed by Rose and Kim. "Master, you felt it right?" asked Mira, she felt anxious about the strange magic coming from Jack.
"Yes...they have come...but...why?"
"Same like seven years ago...during the destruction of Magnolia..."
Eric got up from the attack, Jack's speed overwhelms the ice mage as Jack step on Eric which destroyed the ground and sent Eric down on the underground leaving a giant hole. "Eric!" yelled one of the female mage of Lamia Scale name Iris.
"Oh no!"
"What the hell are you doing!? We should have a fair fight!" another yelled by Lamia Scale guild master, Master Ranbu.
"Looks like the master of Lamia Scale isn't happy about this" said Mr Gai, Yajima nodded. Toma, the king of Fiore show some worried for the mage.
Jack didn't give any look of concern of Eric's body or he even care what will happen to the ice mage. "Ice Make : Snow Dragon!"
An ice Dragon appeared from the hole as it bites on Jack's arms. "Arghhh!"
"You damn dragon!" Jack proceeds to slice the dragon in half with his own hand. "I can't believe it...is he even human?" asked Nash
"Can't say for sure...but he underestimated Lyon's son...that was his mistake" Gray said, he believe Eric can win this match.
Eric came out from the hole, his fist coated with ice spikes and punch Jack on the stomach. Jack grasped both of his fist and hammer punch on Eric's back to the ground. Jack's magic seal appear once he put his palm in front him, "Oh! It's must be his super special attack!" yelled the commentator
Orichi and his guild mates smirk. "I'm not going to give up yet!" Eric Vastia remembers his father, Lyon Vastia words that he can't lose to Gray's son. "There's somebody I need to beat first before I lose!"
He gazes at Cody which the boy smirk back. "Very wise...humans are predictable..."
Azee ends up at a hall of nowhere followed by Rose and Kim. "Hey...goofball...where the hell are you going?" asked Rose, she cross her arms onto her chest confusing where Azee is going. "Hey...this is not the way to Fiara Howl team right?"
"Of course not Bro Azee, the Fiara Howl team was just under us, therefore, just need to go down the stairs not to the hall way" Kim explain to Azee. "Shit!"
"That's what you get for acting such a looser and idiot" Rose said.
"Dang it...I bet Eric lost the match now...Jack isn't a normal human...he is some kind of a monster"
"What?"
Back at the arena, the audience, the teams, the commentator couldn't believe in their eyes. They seized up and sweating. Jack brutally beat Eric until bleeding badly. Lyon was about to go to save his son but Gray showed up and stop him. "No...he's not a human"
"What the hell just happen..."
"There's no rule about brutally beating the opponent...so be it"
Jack throws Eric to the ground as he walks away from the scene. "It.. Fiara Howl win, they received five points and place them on second again"
"Call the medic!"
"Eric!"
"Eric..."
"Eric!"
Eric is in unconscious state, he received treatment from the medic mage and brought him to the infirmary. "You show to much of your power..." said Orichi once Jack back to his seats.
"It's doesn't matter...we're bound to show our power to humans"
"Hm, arrogant as always"
"W-Well that's the end of the first match of the second stage, we move on to the second match and pray that Eric will be alright" Mr Gai said, he still sweating and shocked after the first match.
"Fiara Howl...what the hell is that guild anyway?" Nash said, rubbing his chin. "Levy...answers!"
"I don't know too...according to this book, the guild exist five hundred years ago and destroyed by Acnologia once"
"More importantly, it's a very old and ancient guild that only a monster that live in it" Yajeh continue "But...does that mean..."
"They aren't human?" asked Rika
"But they have human appearance..."
"Enough you brats!" Master Edward scolded the young mage. "The council will be here if I'm not mistaken...it's like it's all has been predicted"
"Master..."
"Our next game is in the third match of the second stage, I assume we will battle Mermaid Hell"
"Then we should be ready"
"Good news folks! We received words from the doctor that Eric Vastia wound isn't big and after proper surgery he should be fine"
The audience cheer as well as Lamia Scale team. Jack was unhappy with the news, he want the ice mage to die rather than survive the attack.
"Tough mage"
"The battle goes on with the second mage between Quatro Cerberus versus Bloody Skull!"
...
The audience and the teams amazed by the match which won by Quatro Cerberus thus gaining their second five points and place them on the sixth place. Kordiak, the guild master of Bloody Skull loss all of his hair and drop his jaw after seeing his team lost the fight.
"And now! The match we all waiting for! The rival between this famous guild are astonishing and they are also developed friendly relationship, Fairy Tail versus Mermaid Heel!" yelled Mr Gai
Kagura and Millianna smiled seeing their guild was up next. "This will be good"
From Mermaid Heel, the participant is a young girl wearing black kimono that exposed half of her large bust and a sword carried on her back. Her hair is purple in colour and wearing hair clip. "Amy, you're up?" asked Nash
"Y-Yeah...I think I'm ready"
It's Amy's turn to fight for Fairy Tail in the battle of five points. "And for Fairy Tail is Amy Dreamheart, the new mage from the famous guild who will be the opponent of Megumi"
"Wow! Both of them look sexy!"
The man and boys audience try to cheer the girls and complain of their sexy attire. "Love this day three match"
Cody sat beside Nash as they watch the game. "Hey...Nash...don't you think that kimono outfit make her look fat?"
"Yeah...it does"
Yajeh, Natalia and Meredy feel a little uneasy when it come to body weight. "You guys don't have anything to say do you..."
"Nope" replied both Nash and Cody.
"Could this be a sexy battle between this two mage?"
"I say that outfit you wearing really suit you but my kimono bring more attraction to others" said Megumi, she draw her sword to Amy. "Mind if I rip all you cloths, girl?" she said seductively making everyone insane for her.
Amy with a demonic glare draw her Spirits key. "Oh, mind I make you naked in front of everyone, Drago can burn your kimono away" said Amy
"Amy! You can do it, just beat her and bring us five points" yelled Nash to the blonde girl and she nodded.
"Start battle!"
Megumi rush to Amy to knock her with her sword but Amy fast dodge the attack and summon Pegasus from Celestial Spirit world.
"Oh! She is a Celestial Spirit mage!" said Gai
"Pegasus, I counting on you"
"Yes, princess"
Pegasus performed a fast hand to hand combat to Megumi which the girl block it with her sword. She couldn't keep up with the speed and was hit by Pegasus wind magic. She remain silent and calm and predicted Amy's next move.
She draw her sword to the air, red magic seal appear and the Amy's start to lose her balance. "W-What is this..."
"Gravity Manipulation huh?" said Azee
"It's a powerful magic that allowed the user to manipulate gravity surround her including her own or the enemy"
"Sister Amy will be in trouble if she didn't do something to stop it" said Kim
Megumi starts to attack Amy after she lost her balance as she hit her with the sheathed sword. "Amy!"
Rika look at Megumi, she thought that Kagura's daughter wouldn't hurt a Fairy Tail friend. "You think what I'm thinking right?" said Erza
"Mom?"
"I know but in this fight, Megumi probably tried to protect her and the guild pride, so it's fair if she attack Amy like that"
Amy tried to regain her balance again but failed. "Wow! Gravity magic, it's so powerful!" yelled the commentator.
"You can't move now...I manipulate the gravity...the chance I get to attack you" she said, but the blonde girl remain calm. "You're forgetting that I know I'm a Celestial Spirit Mage..."
"Oh...what can you really do to stop this gravity besides you only can summon spirit?"
"That's why I said...you forgetting something"
Amy draw her key from her pouch, "Open, the gate of heavenly scales, I summon the! Libra!" the key shines its golden light and Libra came out from the Celestial Spirit world. "Libra, change the gravity!"
"Yes"
Libra rise her right scales on her right hand and the gravity change as Megumi was push back to the top of one of the gigantic statue holding a staff. Libra push Megumi harder as it almost break the statue face.
"What...is...this"
"Yeah! That's how you do it!" yelled Nash and Cody going insane after Amy's attack.
"Open gate of the dragon! I summon the! Draco!" said Amy
"Open gate of the bull! I summon the! Taurus!"
"Moo!"
*Roar!*
Draco and Taurus appear for their ultimate attack. "Wow, after Lucy, Amy also got some hot body! Moo!"
"Uh, don't get start it Taurus" Amy blush
"Wow! It's Taurus and Libra...one from Lucy's and Yukino's keys" said Cana
"And pair of new one too..Pegasus and Draco"
"Amy summons three celestial at once! Has she surpass Lucy Heartfilia and Yukino Agria!?"
Kagura amazed by Amy's fighting tactics. "She's smart"
"Libra now!"
Libra nodded and pull Megumi back to the ground with Taurus and Draco prepared their attacks. "Go Taurus and Draco, ultimate attack"
"Mooo!"
"I show you what a dragon claws looks like"
"Damn...I can't move"
Taurus use his axe and slash Megumi and Draco finishing move with his claws coated with flames, Megumi scream in pain after the powerful attack. "Megumi!" yelled her friends from the guild, Mermaid Heel.
Megumi fall down on the ground defeated by Amy. "It's been decided! Amy Dreamheart one the match! She beat Megumi and gain Fairy Tail five points!" yelled Mr Gai
"I was impressed by her performance! Outstanding!"
Amy panting a little, she used up almost all of her strength to summon three spirits in the game. "She was exhausted and about to fell down but she was caught up by someone, the smell and the scent of a boy whom she knew"
Amy look at the pink hair boy, Nash who caught her before she fell down. "You were amazing, the best fight I've ever seen" he gave a broad smile to the blonde girl.
The audience was amazed by the astonishing fight and claps for Fairy Tail. "Fairy Tail still the best guild and will be the champ for this game"
Fiara Howl look at Nash and Amy, they didn't give any interest on them both. Lamia Scale, Mermaid Heel, Blue Pegasus and Sabertooth members smiled.
Nash brought Amy back to the infirmary for treatment, her body is full of bruises from Megumi attack. "You should rest"
"Yeah...I use up all of my magic to summon three spirits...I worn out now"
"Yet again, you pull out a best fight so far" said Erza
"Erza"
"You remind me to Lucy, she was as powerful as you despite at the time Raven Tail cheated, she could have won the match"
"Oh"
The magic lacrima appear on the infirmary, showed the table of the standing guild. Sabertooth remain in the first place while Fairy Tail in the second, Fiara Howl third, Blue Pegasus fourth, Olympus might on fifth which shared with Lamia Scale, Mermaid Heel sixth, Quatro Cerberus in seventh, and last is Bloody Skull"
"With the stage two of Elimination game over, Bloody Skull officially eliminated from the game!"
"Now there's eight guild left as we move on to the third and the final stage of the elimination game, which guild will be eliminated first?" said Mr Yajima
"The third stage will be the hardest one...we either going to fight Fiara Howl or Olympus Might" said Azee, he open the door of the infirmary, Rose and Kim walks in.
"I see the board, if the second match won by Fiara Howl, we will fight Olympus Might"
"Hmm..."
"Is this where Amy Dreamheart is?" a soft voice of a woman came from the door. "Yeah, I think this is the place" said the voice of a man.
The door was open, Yukino and Sting enter the infirmary room. "Uncle Sting!" said Nash
"Yo, long time no see Nash"
"And Aunt Yukino too"
Yukino wave her hands to Nash.
"Yukino...Sting...it's been a while" greet Erza
"Yeah...we're on vacation but after hearing that the Grand Magic Game is held again, I couldn't stop but head over here to see the game"
"But..."
"But?"
"It's not the only thing I came here for, there's another magic as powerful as demon is here and I'm going to investigate" said Sting
"Yeah...we sense it too" Erza said, she cross her arms to her chest.
Azee look at Sting. "Hmm, what is it?" asked Sting, he look back at Azee.
"I tell you what I know so far, the magic as powerful as demon is the Beast Magic" said Azee
Everyone appal after hearing it. "Beast...Magic?"
