Thanks yukino76! (:

Disclaimer: I do not own any aspect of Naruto or Fairy Tail. They belong to their respective owners. I only own this and every other story I have.

Wendy shook her head at what the younger sibling said. "It does...because Team Fairy Tail has been split into two."

"...What?!" Blue eyes bugged beyond belief. It took several seconds to register what was said. And those blue eyes proceeded to shoot out of their owner's skull as the realization crashed onto Naruto full-force. "What are you talking about?!"

Sasuke quirked a brow. "Do you mean to say that there was infighting within Fairy Tail which caused it to split up?"

"But due to the previous camaraderie you shared, you do not view them as opposition?" Itachi finished. He may or may not have been just as confused as the other two. Who knows?

Double-take. "No! That's not what I meant!" The Marvell rapidly shook her head before facing the eldest. "You are right that a sense of camaraderie makes us not see the other five members of Fairy Tail as opponents, but we didn't split into two because we got mad at each other!"

"It's because the rules for the Grand Magic Games dictate that only five members can be in each team." Erza elaborated.

Lucy nodded. "We would have all been in the same team if we could, but we can't."

"For that reason, we split into two teams: Team Fairy Tail A and Team Fairy Tail B." Gray crossed his arms. "We're Team Fairy Tail A."

Natsu grinned. "No matter if Team Fairy Tail A or Team Fairy Tail B wins, since we're all part of the same guild, that still proves Fairy Tail to be the best guild in all of Fiore!" Hands were on his hips as a smug smile crossed his lips. "Cool, huh?"

"That's awesome!" Perplexity was kicked out of the door as amazement replaced it in a flash.

Sasuke was more than a little skeptic. "Is that even allowed?"

"It is." Three sets of eyes widened as the Scarlet's armor mysteriously vanished, replaced by a t-shirt bearing writing on it. "The rules of the Grand Magic Games are on here."

The eldest read them out-loud. "Only five members of each Guild can compete in the games. However, each Guild could have two teams enter into the tournament, and as a result, up to ten members of each Guild can compete in the games. The members of a Guild's team can be replaced by reserve members if necessary. Guild Masters cannot participate. Anyone without the Guild's insignia cannot participate. Each event will remain a secret up until right before they begin, at which point the rules will be explained. Victory is based on who can dominate across several different kinds of competition."

"...I see." The younger of the two reluctantly conceded. "I believe that must be the reason why there were so many teams at first."

But Naruto had his mind on other matters. "Whoa! How did you do that?!" He was more than a little shell-shocked by the sudden change in garments. As he had been when she did so during the prelims as well.

"My Magic is known as The Knight, which is a Caster Magic and a type of Requip and Spatial Magic." As if on cue, her armor reappeared at that very instant. "This Magic allows the user to store weapons and armors in pocket dimensions and summon them during battle, which gives the user a high level of offense, defense, flexibility, and variety in combat, regarding the type of the armor and/or weapon they Requip. This type of Requip also gives the user the ability to use, and gain resistance to, natural elements through the use of certain armors." A smug smirk crossed her lips. "I am noted for my ability to Requip extremely fast and am the only sword Mage known to be capable of Requipping weapons and armor while fighting." The smug smirk only became more smug as time wore on. "I have over 100 different armors, something which made me and my immense strength well known throughout Magnolia Town and all of Fiore, earning me the epithet 'Titania'." She held out a hand, a blade materializing seconds later. "I am capable of using my swords to perform different magical attacks and can combine different weapons and armors from different known sets."

Gray seemed to shiver in...fear? "Don't get on Erza's bad side, alright?"

"Yeah. Don't." Lethal flames flared up in her eyes. Thank goodness she dispelled her weapon though. Whew.

Wendy stepped up. "My Magic allows me to manipulate air and heal even the gravest of wounds." A pleasant breeze wafted through as she spoke, soothing all it touched. But the sudden raging gale caught the three off-guard. "However, I can also use wind to attack." No kidding. Thank goodness it was localized to such a small area or else it would have blown everything away.

"I can use Celestial Spirit Magic, a type of Spatial Magic which allows me to summon Celestial Spirits, magical beings residing in the Celestial Spirit World, using the Keys of their respective Gates!" Lucy bounded in, all smiles.

The Uzumaki gaped. "So Pyxis is a Celestial Spirit?!"

"Yep!" She giggled. "When summoning a Spirit, the Keys are enveloped in a soft, golden light." She gestured to the keychain at her side. "Once a contract has been made with a Spirit, such Spirit will be available for me to summon on certain days, in which it will fight on my side and perform several tasks for me." She sheepishly scratched the back of her neck. "My Celestial Spirits have varying levels of power, with different ones being more suited for certain tasks than others, not necessarily related to battle."

That mouth only dropped wider upon hearing the explanation. "Wow..."

"Hey! What are you guys still hanging around here for? The Grand Magic Games main event is going to start soon!" The eight glanced up as a very tall and muscular young man with teal eyes and slicked-back hair—its numerous spiky strands pointing backwards while some fell down in a small tuft on his forehead—who had a distinct lightning bolt-shaped scar on his right with both eyes having dark circles with each of them possessing a single prominent eyelash jutting outwards in addition to wearing a sleeveless black-colored muscle shirt with a turtleneck collar underneath his jacket with red pants and black shoes walked up to them.

A tall and muscular young man with long spiky black hair that was slicked back to reveal his forehead—which had a dark yellow bandanna wrapped around it—bearing red eyes with slitted dark pupils with no visible eyebrows, instead having three studs above each of his eyes in addition to two on each side of his nose and two on his chin just below his mouth with many more covering the surface of his exposed body such as the four studs on each of his forearms—with his right one being covered in scars—with his black Fairy Tail mark located on his left arm just below his shoulder as well as having canine teeth which were distinctively sharper than normal who was clad in a dark blue trench coat—whose tail reached down to his upper calves—with a green short-sleeved shirt worn underneath, pants, studded boots, gloves, belt, and wristbands joined him immediately. "Time won't stand still."

"Do you guys want to do whatever we want that badly?" A slim short young woman possessing long white hair which curled slightly at the ends with two bangs framing her face and reaching down to her chest—a short, upward ponytail obtained by gathering and tying the hair covering her forehead also present—and had large blue eyes and a curvy voluptuous lithe form with her white Fairy Tail stamp located on her left thigh who was adorned in a sleeveless ankle-length maroon dress with a pleated skirt—the chest having a large pink bow with similarly colored trimmings framing the rather ample neckline, acting as straps while circling around the waist too—plus high-heeled shoes that matched her dress and also a small chain necklace with a blue oval gem attached to it above a bracelet made of white flowers circling her right wrist taunted as she strolled in.

Erza glared at her. "We'll be the ones telling you guys what to do for a day!"

"Oh please. I'll be winning my date with Gray-sama." A slender teenage girl with blue hair that fell in thick waves past her shoulders, midnight blue eyes, snow-white skin complexion, and a curvaceous figure with her azure Fairy Tail guild stamp above her left thigh who wore a knee-high dark dress coat which was adorned with four, symmetrically placed light-colored buttons on the chest that was garnished with fur trimmings around her sleeve cuffs and neck below a matching dark Russian-style hat stylized with a light-colored butterfly clip—which in itself was attached to the fur trimming garnishing her hat—that was in turn above a light brown belt around her waist and complementing dark brown thigh-high boots stared at the mentioned—who only sweat-dropped—as she went in next.

A large muscular man with tan-colored skin whose height caused him to tower over most people with his long white hair styled upwards in long wavy spikes and didn't possess visible eyebrows yet had a stitched scar running down the right side of his face, crossing his right eye above his black Fairy Tail stamp located on the left part of his neck who was dressed in a dark blue jacket with purplish-blue inners that was held closed on the front by a line of large buttons with similar buttons on the sleeves' back and the zip located on the high collar left open with light kanjis reading 'The greatest' on the back all over a light red shirt, completed by loose pants matching his jacket held up by a simple belt and traditional Japanese geta sandals held in place by purplish-blue bands smashed a fist to his palm as he stomped his way toward the rest. "The faster we leave, the faster we can get to fighting!"

"You guys have to introduce yourselves to our new friends here first, you know!" Natsu held his hands to his hips, scowling.

And then they noticed the three strangers sitting with their companions. The first arrival grunted in acknowledgement. "Laxus Dreyar."

"Gajeel Redfox." The second smirked.

The third beamed brightly, offering a friendly wave. "Hello, my name is Mirajane Strauss! It's so nice to meet you three!"

"Don't be fooled by her." The Scarlet scoffed. "Underneath that angelic appearance is a she-demon!"

Said she-demon shot a glare at the redhead. "Why you!"

"You know I'm right!" Sparks flew between the two as they stared each other down.

The burly sighed. "Nee-san..." Shaking his head, he then turned to face the trio. "I'm her younger brother, Elfman Strauss."

"...Younger brother?" Nod. Well, he could have fooled anyone with how he looks. He sure fooled Naruto.

The blunet's expression didn't change as she looked over to the triad. "Juvia Lockser. Who are you?"

"Naruto Uzumaki!" The blond beamed.

The younger sibling sighed. "Sasuke Uchiha."

"Itachi Uchiha." The elder smiled. "It is nice to meet you five of Team Fairy Tail B."

The Dragneel crossed his arms. "They're here on a trip and came just in time to watch the Grand Magic Games and for us to beat you and win!"

"EH?!" Question marks floated above the flaxen's head as he turned to face the Marvell. "I thought you said they weren't competition!"

A small blush coated her cheeks. "What I meant by that is although we aren't technically competing as we are factions of the same team and Fairy Tail would be the victors no matter if Team A or Team B wins, we kinda have a little bet going in which if Team A loses, we'll have to do what Team B wants for a day and vice-versa. We won't be fighting each other though due to our sense of camaraderie and will determine who the victor is by seeing which one of us has the highest score at the end."

"...Okay." Those question marks have yet to vanish.

Wendy gave a bow. "I'm sorry for confusing you!'

"It's alright..." Said confusion had yet to wear off though.

The platinum's cackling brought him back to the real world. "I can't wait to make little miss Titania my slave for a day!"

"I can't wait to make little miss Sorcerer Magazine Model my slave for a day!" The sparks solely intensified.

Juvia was trapped in a fantasy within her mind. "I can't wait to make Gray-sama mine for a day and then forever..." The Fullbuster was starting to get more than a little unsettled.

"We are the ones closer to winning you know, what with us scoring second place yesterday." Cue the six mouths dropping and slight widening of the Uchiha brothers.

Natsu slammed his hands on the table. "Then who's first?!"

"Team Sabertooth." Gajeel scoffed. "But it's Team Fairy Tail B who will emerge victorious!"

At that point, all arguments and daydreams had ceased as the pyro stood, proudly beating his fist to his chest. "No, it's Team Fairy Tail A who will win! We'll jump all the way from 8th to 1st place! We'll defeat all in our way and won't hold back one bit!" His teammates shared his faith, even Wendy smirking confidently.

"We'll see about that." We'll see indeed...

"The time has finally come, this year! The annual festival of magic! The Grand Magic Games!"

It was back to the bleachers for the three and back to the front lines for the eight participating teams. Screams of excitement filled the entire stadium as that announcement was made, Naruto cheering for Team Fairy Tail A with all his heart. As cool as B was, he didn't want the members of A—especially Natsu—to become slaves even for one day. He just couldn't stand to see that happen!

The humongous hologram flickered to an image of a man who had all facial features bundled together. "I'm your announcer, Chapati Lola. And council member Yajima-san has joined us as commentator. Thank you for being here, Yajima-san."

"My pleasure." An old bald man who had bushy brows and a chef's hat upon his crown stated.

An incredibly beautiful woman who had her hair elegantly styled in a high ponytail with curled locks flowing past her shoulders and was adorned in an exquisite dress showing her bust popped up. "We've invited the sparkling Miss Fiore, Jenny Realight-san of Blue Pegasus to be our guest!"

"We're gonna win this year, so look out~" She blew a kiss and winked at the cameras, stealing the hearts of many within the audience.

It was back to the emcees. "The team members have finally entered."

"Yes, thank you. I'll have a coffee."

"Yajima-san! Your microphone is still on and broadcasting!" Laughter roared from the crowd at that.

Anyways... "First off is the preliminary round's 8th place. Will they be able to reclaim their past glory?"

"HECK YEAH THEY WILL!" Once again, Sasuke was forced to cover his ears or risk his eardrums bursting. But he didn't want to waste any more breath vainly telling the Uzumaki to stop.

The five came in, the Dragneel in the lead with fist waving in the air. "Contrary to their name, they're the wild, rowdy Fairy Tail!"

"BOO!"

"BOO!"

"BOO!"

"BOO!"

"BOO!"

Naruto was as shocked as Natsu was at the heckling. "AGH!" Both. Cried. Out. At. The. Exact. Same. Time.

"They're booing us?" Gray sneered.

Chapati came back on. "Even though they've gotten last place every single year, Fairy Tail managed to claw their way through the preliminaries. Though of course, they made it in eighth place."

"Last place every single year?!" The Uzumaki echoed, completely confused.

Sasuke tched. "They must have lied about being the best of the best then."

"Fairy Tail is bigger than just Team A you know." Itachi pointed out.

Naruto glared at the younger of the two. "Lie?!"

"If they're really the best of the best, why have they placed last every single past year?" He shrugged. "Everyone says they are or what they have is the best. There's a term for it: cheap talk. It's an actual term."

The blond clenched a fist. "They aren't lying! Natsu wouldn't lie like that!" Nails dug into his palm. "Even if they placed last, they still could have done incredible things most would not be able to overcome! This tournament isn't the only way to determine the best of the best!"

Yajima's voice cut their argument off. "With the return of 'Team Tenrou' who have been causing trouble all over the place...can they possibly become the top of Fiore?!" He gave a thumbs up. "I'm glad to see you all...congratulations, Fairy Tail." Was he being sincere? Or sardonic?

"Keep your cool, Lucy." Judging by the Heartfilia's reaction, it was the latter. Yep. How rude.

Naruto himself was close to bursting out in anger. "HEY—"

"HOORAY! HOORAY! FAIRY TAIL!" The sudden cheering amidst the booing snapped the five's and three's attention to a bunch of people who had just appeared. They held up a banner reading 'FAIRY TAIL VICTORY' and were throwing confetti all over the place.

But something else caught the pentad's attention. Natsu narrowed his eyes at the source. "What's that?"

"Hmm?" Gray focused on it as well.

Lucy gasped. "NO WAY?!"

"Is that—" The Marvell did so as well.

Erza gaped. "Could that be..."

"...You came to cheer us on?" Huh? It was as though the three couldn't see who had arrived nor could hear their voice. Maybe only members of Fairy Tail could hear them? "Err...that's not what I was worried about." Sure seems like it.

Natsu laughed. "Having the first Master here looking over us is reassuring!"

"Even as a spirit." The Fullbuster muttered. Yep. No one else but Fairy Tail could see them alright.

And it was back to the announcers once more. "Next up...Is 7th place in the preliminaries...The Hounds of Hell's Army, Quatro Cerberus!"

"WILD!"

"OOOOOHHHH!"

"LET'S TAKE THIS THING OVER, THIS YEAR, BOYS!" All five members of that team were dressed as punks, fitting of their epithet.

Five women then came in, two scantily clad as one wore a jumpsuit while another wore an outfit fit for a parade as yet another was dressed in a suit that was reminiscent of webs. "Coming in sixth place, we have the all-female guild. The Dancers of the Deep Blue Seas, Mermaid Heel!" Several guys within the vicinity were infatuated on the spot.

"Fifth place is The Azure Wings That Sparkle in the Darkness, Blue Pegasus!" Five guys—one dressed in a bunny suit—went in, arms crossed and fingers out as girls all over the stadium squealed their names.

And Miss Fiore winked once again. "Everyone, do your best!"

"Fourth place...The Goddess of Love and War's Sacred Destroyers...Lamia Scale!" Several oriental-clad and mismatched folk entered the fray.

An old woman in the bleachers screamed her lungs out. "WHY WERE YOU 4TH IN THE PRELIMINARIES?! ARE YOU IDIOTS EVEN TRYING?!"

"Sorry grandma..." Within the team, a cute little girl who had her hair in pigtails and wore a blouse in addition to a skirt apologized. "It was because I'm so clumsy—KYAAAAH!" As if to prove a point, she tripped over nothing.

A guy bearing spiky hair berated his teammate. "Geez...Sherria..."

"Sorry Lyon." She sheepishly smiled.

A grand flag was raised, cutting them off. "Moving on, coming in third place we have...now this is quite a surprise, in third place we have a first-time competing guild!" Several folk who belonged in a children's nightmare stepped forth. "The Midnight Raiders, Raven Tail!"

"RAVEN TAIL?!" Gasps rang out. Eyes bugged wide. A ruckus ensued.

Chapati spoke up. "Well, according to our official information, Raven Tail existed over 7 years ago. But had only been approved as an official guild recently."

"If they've been approved by the Magic Council, that means they're not a Dark Guild, right?" Yajima questioned.

Naruto gulped. "I have a bad feeling about this..."

"Here we go!" Moving on I guess. "The team who came in 2nd place in the preliminaries...well, now...this is definitely unexpected!" Everyone—sans the three and five—tensed up. "Could the flapping of their fallen wings really carry them all the way here?! It's the least expected...the unbelievable..." If they hadn't been told beforehand, the three would have been shell-shocked. If the five didn't know this arrangement, they would have been blown away. "Team Fairy Tail B!"

Thank goodness the eight knew about this beforehand...or else their eyes and mouths would have joined the countless pairs cannoning into oblivion and jaws dropping to the bottom of the universe. Thank goodness indeed.
