Chapter 37: Battle of The Strongest: Starting Point
Night of the next day
Lucy was working on the next chapter of her book when Natsu and Happy got in through the window. "Hey Luce/Lushii." "* sigh*Hey guy." Natsu felt unease. "What wrong?" "It nothing." Lucy tried to hide it, but Natsu know her enough to tell the different. "Lucy." "Okay, I am getting close to finish the book when I realize that it continues on a book. I couldn't figure out how I'm ending it." "How does the story goes?" "Well, it about a boy who family was great warriors but he as a runt. Yet he gains a power that surpasses them but keep it a secret so he could escape to be free. Along his journey to become the strongest, he finds nakama who want to defeat an evil that destroy their homes." Natsu was amaze while Happy was munching on the fish. "Is he searching for peace? Then you were influence by 'The Gusty Ninja'." "Yeah, you can say that Happy." Natsu then got an idea. "Oi! I got it!" He then searches through Happy's bag and took out a book. The front of it has a sheathed katana sword, aura like flame were design into the scarce, with thorn like tips on the bladed side and end of it. The handle is made with strong blue wood, warp in blue silk ribbon, which was longer to give it a tail, and the guard is design look as flames like petals spiraling in both directions. As Lucy flip to the back, she saw the blade unsheathed and it is pure blue with a black shine. It laps over the scarce to form a x.
Lucy then look to the book spine with the title that is call "Apocalypse Chaos: Blade of Aura". "Okay, what so special about it?" Natsu fold his legs as he sits on her bed. "Well, that it is Naruto's first book and it basic on a true story, by his research." Natsu then took out a poster. "Beside, the reason I'm here is that the Fairy Tail festival (yes, I don't remember the real name) is coming and they have a Miss Fairy Tail contest. The cash prize is 100,000,000 jewels or gets to have a storage cloak form Naruto." Lucy imaging what she could by until Happy ruin it. "You Natsu want to see you in a bikini then beat those who see you with pervert faces so he could a battle of the strongest competition." Lucy then "Lucy Kick" Natsu to the wall before throwing Happy thought the window and shut it. "If you think of what Happy said, then I make you ride the train for days. GOT IT!" "Aye! I never do that to you!" Natsu freaking out thank to Happy. "Thought you will win it since Naruto is judging this year." An idea bolt on her head. "Good, because I have a winning plan."
A week later (She need time for her plan to be set)
The streets are fill with stands of all kinds, but the weirdest is on fire. "Get your fire foods, get them while they're blazing!" Natsu was overcooking his food again while Happy sell fish. "That what you're selling?" Lucy was across the same street with cakes and cookies. "At least I'm not using Erza's weakness to earn the most." "Well first, I told her that I make a big one later if she focusses on non-cake things. Second, my mom and me bake for fun." "Well good for you, let beat Stripper McIce Pant with the most sell."
Another street
Gray was shaving ice when he sneezes. "there no way I'll let you win, lizard tongue." He faces forward to see Juvia putting water balloon to be throw at target. Her prizes are hand-made knitting dolls. 'I didn't know she knitting." Just then, Levy pass through with a lot of books to her stand at the dead end of the street. 'this is a good idea to sell books when my bookshelves were overstuffed.' She didn't notice the loose stone and trips, but she and her books were caught by strong arms. "You should watch where you going, shrimp." Gajeel then carry Levy like a potato sack while holding her books by the other arm. "Hey,I'm not some luggage you can carry all the the time!" "Whatever shrimp, just be lucky my stand is over there as well." while the two bickering about, Jet and Droy saw how they are compatible to each other. With a sigh, they accept what going on and be ready for the worst.
In the main street
Naruto and Hinata are selling cinnamon ramens, which Erza eat with strawberry toppings, (just like regular ramen) and passing toys to the kids. The stand was pack, but they were able to keep up thank to their training. Naruto stop to sense how the others were doing, the Strauss siblings were selling cute doll of their takeover forms at a good rate (Even thought Elfman rant of manliness set them back by a bit), Cana trying to sell alcohols, but end up getting drunk. Gajeel bang a bunch of metal pieces and sell them as art which actually gain a lot of profit while Levy's books are taken to the speed of sound. The heat help Juvia and Grey with their stand while Lucy, Happy, and Natsu make their foods delicious which help near by stands. Wakaba use his smoke magic to cook his dishes while Marco teach Romeo techniques on using a wong-ton (the big Chinese pan/pot that move around on fire and flip the food). Laki use her wood make to make wooden mini-statues and Max has a sand-in-a-bottles stands while everyone else help out as they can. Naruto sense four member who rarely come. 'Heh, let's the games begin.'
Miss Fairy Tail contest
"Everyone, I'm so glad could make it! The battle of beaty between our female fairies, Let's start the Miss Fairy Tail contest!" Max said while appearing on the stage with a Mic. "I am Max, the sand wizard, and I will be your host!" He then point to Naruto, who was sit on the judges table. "For the first time, Naruto {chose a title}(the Malestrom/ Ace of fairy Tail/ Head of the Uzukaze) will judge the girl in the creativities of their preferment while you all vote for your favorite!" Naruto stand up to speak. "I'm not here to be a pervent (Except to my wife all alone), but to see the girls' artistic in their heart." he sat back down while Hinata try to hold her blood-lust and animal instinct to not go full beast on him. "Entry #1: the exotic beauty with a bottomless pit of a stomach, Cana Alberona!" The crow cheer as she smile sassy (I think) "Now it's time to appeal to the audience with your magic!" Cana trow her cards around her before they spun in a cyclone dome. "The cards are hiding Cana's body..." a pair of cards made wings break open it with Cana in a bikini. "She change into a swimsuit!" "I'll that that beer-money, thanks." Naruto hold up a 6.5 and a sign that said 'No drinking in a fight'. "It seen Cana's plan as got Naruto to remind her of her weakness!" "Whatever whiskers-kun." "Entry #2: She might be a newcomer, but her abilities are S class! Rain or shine, this woman will steal your heart, Juvia Locker!" 'May these feelings reach you, Gray-sama!' a wave of water surround her and when it fell, Juvia has change into a biniki (I don't get beauty contest). "She put on a performance the matches her swimsuit!" "Gray-sama, did you see?" Natsu laughed at the fact that Gray have a blooded nose which Juvia check it as a win. Naruto held a 7.0 and a sign that said 'No sex on the first date'. "That a good dating tips." "Yes, Juvia with follow Naruto-nii advice." Gray yell about that they are just friend (for now). "Entry #3:Everyone's favorite poster girl of the guild... Her beauty is known throughout the land, Mirajane!" the crow cheers loud for her. "Now, appeal to the audience!" "My specialty is transformation magic, so I'll transform!" She transform her head to Happy's and the crow anime-fall, next she change it to Gajeel's, who did a spit-take. Mira then change her to Kurama's non- human one. "I'm a fluffy fox with long ribbit ears, I'm so cute that it a crime." Kurama shot of Naruto's with the rest of the Tail-beasts holding him down. "I'm gonna kill that bitch if it the last thing I'll do." Naruto held a 5.0 and a 'Really? You know he like to be call hansome, not cute' sign as he try to stay up after that surprise summon. "It seen like the Tail-beasts are watching the show too." The female Tail-beasts hold up a 'I can't in the contest because of last year' sign. "It his fault for not sparring with me as promise." Kurama held a 'I was knock out' sign. "Entry #4: She needs no explanation... Titania!" Erza jump on the stage and the crow cheer again. "Erza Scarlet!" "I will show you all a very special Requip." Magic and dust cover as she change into a Goth Loli maid costume "That decide it." Naruto held a 8.5 and a 'you change into your seduction armor before going to Goth Loli, nice speed and control' sign. Max was speechless while the crowd grew silence was Erza nod her cheeky head. "I know that only you and Hinata will see it. So I'm must train harder." "Entry #5: the little fairy with cutes and intelligence, Levy McGarden!" Jet and Droy cheer her on. "Solid Script!" She form many words but the IRON one was eaten by Gajeel. "Thank for the meal, shrimp." Naruto hold a 7.5 and a 'don't feed your boyfriend' sign. "We're not dating!" (Yet)"Entry #6: the sexy sniper Bisca Moulin!" She throw coins in the sky. "Requip: The gunner" Then snipe them all in one shot. "Yee-haw!" "How cute!" Alzack said with heart in his eyes. Naruto hold a 8.0 and a 'When will you and Alzack start dating' sign. The two blush to Erza's hair color while becoming silent. "Entry #7: the girl of animals, Lisanna!" "I hope you like this. Takeover: Quetzalcoatl" Her arms become wings as her lower half transform to a serpent body. Naruto held a 9.0 and a 'good job on combining your Harpy's and Lamia's form, thought you might want to add more limbs for safety reason.' "New ideas can come in any form." "I'll work on that." "Entry #8: this kitty has a mighty roar when threated her love-ones, Hinata Uzukaze!" Hinata flew from above in her cat-form before transforming to her human-form as rain falling down, she spin and use her magic to move each drops away from her as if she was dancing (in that naruto episode). Naruto held a 9.5 and a heart sign with a drooping mouth. "You pretty much broke him." "Well, a little tease now and then help later on." 'I hope I can top that' "Entry #9: Our guild's super rookie! This upcoming star will sparkle with the guidance of Celestial Spirits! Lucy Heart-" "Don't say my last name!" "Go Lucy!" Natsu is holding a flag with Happy on his head with fans. "Now, appeal to the audience!" "Um, I'm going to do a cheer dance routine with my Spirits!" "Entry #8" "Hey! I'm not done appealing yet!" Evergreen appear from behind. "If you want a Fairy, then you want me. If you want beauty, then you want me. Yes, I am all you want! The winner is obviously me Evergreen!" A hand was gripping her shoulder from behind. "And you should wait your turn unless you want the 1000 years of pain Kii-san. (cue shiver spines) And beside, do you think that you and the rest of the thunder tribe can hide from a sensor, thought I was hoping you here for some fun. (cue WTF faces)." Naruto just lazy teleported back. "Continues." "Okay, here we go!" As Lucy start her routine, music start playing. "F-A-I-R-Y, T-A-I-L, Fairy Tail is a home for all!" She summon Virgo and Libra who join in. "Their quest to solve one big mystery lead to a grand adventure!" Her pomp-pomp start glowing in gold. "They're the best of the best when it come to bonds, Fairy Tail is my Family! Gggggoooooo Fairy Tail! YAY!" Naruto held a 10.0 and a winner sign. "Now it my turn!" Evergreen remove her glasses and turn the other girls into stone statues. Naruto held a 0.0 and 'DIE' sigh written in blood (Wait, that ketchup).
