I can't calculate the points. Fairy Tail B are winning? But I guess we knew that already.

I'm hoping this will get better soon. So sorry.


Venus shuddered as she thought of what Aquarius would do to her if she were to kiss Scorpio. There were all manner of things that could happen - none of which were particularly pleasant when they were thought about. "Well anyway," She cut her own voice off and snapped her eyes to look off into the mountains around the blooming capital. The sky looking brooding and wind playing with her cherry hair, its tresses catching the light and taking the form of unlit fire. "I'll be going now." She cast a last look to the sweltering Ice Mage. "Not for too long I hope." There was a blankness to her tone; one that suggested it may not be too long before she was back. The air around her shimmered as Geni placed the Key back into her clothes.

Lyon moved his gaze away from the wavering haze that glittered above the broken and burned stone slabs to look at the woman who had summoned the Spirit. But she was not looking at him - her lips were drawn and her face a little paler as she kept a steady gaze on that which was unseen. One of her arms was still holding up Juvia's legs, but the other was resting at the side of her shorts as she looked into the distance. Juvia was moving her head and using her cousin as climbing frame to try and look at what was catching her interest. The man beside them looking at Lyon nervously, "Hold still." He lifted a hand, pointing it at Lyon directly - in it was a silver rod, with diamonds on either end. From the caged ends flipped two curved bolts, with a sting between them. He drew back the spider-silk string and let loose a thin arrow made of light.

The bolt hit Lyon in the chest and he spluttered for a second, and watched Geni's eyes swing towards him - both of them were a deep onyx blue trimmed with a treasure gold. And they were panicked. But they were calm once they were back to the way they normally were. She gave him a little smile before he passed out, and he watched her hand support her cousins back - Juvia was still looking, trying to see what was so interesting. Once Lyon was on his back the three began their journey looking for other people to knock into unconsciousness. Stumbling around and gathering at the point Mavis indicated for them to go to to decide which Team would come victorious they also found Ichiya fighting Yuka and Sting standing in front of them, the other Team looking a little worse for wear.

They all stood in a circle, waiting for someone to make the first move. But no move was ever made.

First came the chimes from all over the city as the bells began to tick. A low, long-lasted hum that caused the air to sing and heads to twitch involuntarily to make the ringing cease. Sounds of discomfort struck from the throat of those within earshot of the bells. It was faint, but the collective sense of every bell in towers and other objects clicking together got louder by the second. Second came the quakes - the ground moved and shifted beneath their feet, causing them to dance to try and keep their balance. Those who were in the arena clinging to each other to try and give themselves a sense of peace and comfort. Of some sense of security. The Mages watched for what would happen; something was up and they would be the ones who would have to deal with it whenever it revealed itself.

Third was when the weather began to go south - the clouds rumbled from over the mountains like clouds of ash from a volcano, the image adding to the shaking of the ground. Light rain spouted from the sky touching skin in harsh cold kisses as the wind chilled it further. The only light in the sky a distant shade of what it used to be through the damp ash skies that reigned the time. Council Members who were flooded through the city began to call evacuations - the masses moving with their worldly possessions breaking their backs. Those who were in the arena ran for the mountains and over them, the crowds thick and heavy with both rain and sweat.

The Mages who were still in marched back to the arena with others on their backs to be greeted by other Mages who were just as confused as to what had just transpired around them. There was still the faint aftershock ripping through the bells and people twitching at the loud sounds. "I'm glad that's over." Cana murmured as she steadied her keg of overflowing booze.

"I'm afraid," Fairy Tail turned to Mavis, but the other Guilds watched in confusion as they concentrated on a point of rock above them. "That was most likely a foreshock."

Makarov pulled a face of horror with his features pulling into a long string and eyes looking on in disbelief. "A foreshock..." he repeated for all the others to hear; the words sending them into a state of despair. "No." He shook his head with disbelief and tried to smile. "That can't possibly b-" His voice was droned out as the bell tolls began to sound louder in the darkened day. The heavy rain began to fall lighter but then it started to drip red; as red as the blood that pooled from Kagura's wound. It covered their skin and those in the arena began to breath heavily: especially when they heard the distant screaming of the civilians as the blood poured from the sky and the bells rang louder through the day.

The Mages themselves were not sure what was happening and this made it harder for them to even make decisions. Usually no matter what was going on at least one person would be able to understand the events and as things were now it would seem that no one would know and that a plague was coming to kill them all. They were trying vainly to stay standing and not be affected by the pouring blood that coated their skin and matted their clothes. "H-hey..." Erza was standing looking the opposite direction - out over the once bright capital at the distance ring of mountains that encompassed the city. "Are the mountains meant to move?" Was all she managed to splutter out. The mouths of the people filled with blood as they stood, and it dripped from their faces and hair. Her voice going unanswered and unacknowledged.

Mavis stood clean and bright amongst the dank and matted people and sky - an odd beacon of hope only to a few. The blood was passing through her onto the ground and her body seemed to flicker. Her body fell from the sky and she landed on her feet and suddenly the blood seemed to stick to her, it was already reaching half-calf level on the others and Mages from all Guilds turned to see her. "I-I don't understand. I'm dead." She sat and looked at her pretty dress - now ruined with the blood and debris from the ground. "You're not supposed to be able to see me." She fell back in the blood and gagged when it entered her mouth causing her to bolt up and for Makarov to thump her back.

"Heaven's Blood maybe?" Was all Levy was able to offer. She had heard of it - a few of them had. But there was very little information they would know on it. All the information that she had found was that it could bring those who were dead back to life. But only their ghost. There was a rustle as Bickslow, Lucy, Yukino and Geni covered their things; Keys and babies because they were once human. Geni prayed that her secret would hold for a little while longer.

Mavis brought her fingers up and began counting on them in desperation - trying to think of books and papers she had read on the phenomenon. "It could be possible - but I doubt it." She wailed to the skies. She was not unhappy with being seen, but it was more she could not do things when she was alive like she could when she was dead. She gripped at her own skin and reached for Makarov and to her own horror she found that her hand just pressed against his shoulder instead of passing through. As the ground continued to shake and the mountains moved with a roaring thunder. "I've been dead for too long to take effect."

Hibiki pulled up his archive which illuminated a circle around him and for a few precious seconds they all saw the images of their friends surrounding them covered in blood. "There's not much information on it, but," He shut it all down after glancing around; an action that made him feel sick from all the bloodshed. The distant wails were not bad enough but the sight was. "There was never any mention on a time limit." He too had a limited knowledge as there were some documents restricted to the highest level.

Mavis cast an eye to him and light pulsed around her until Makarov pulled her into his arms; he was still not tall enough to reach her height but she was still not that much taller than he. "It'll be all right, Mavis."

Geni was looking in the same direction as Erza, "Yeah, no." She shook her head and danced her fingers over her hips. "Geni doesn't think the mountains should be spitting fire and growing bigger. Or causing avalanches." She waved her hand and had a coat over her shoulders. But she knew it would do nothing against the rising tide at her feet. "And if you look -" She pointed to the far side of Crocus, just beyond the mountains, "- there's no rain beyond there." She cuddled into her jacket and stepped back against Bickslow who put an arm around her and wiped blood from his helmet. "Whoever's causing this is trying to wake something up inside Crocus. Or is trying to provoke everyone." She shuddered as she felt the effect the rain were having on her body and tried to fight for control over her appearance as she was still technically dead to this world. Having been killed on her journey to the Celestial World.
