"THE BIG DAY IS FINALLY HERE FOLKS, THE GRAND MAGIC GAMES WILL BEGIN IN A FEW SHORT MINUTES!"
It was the morning of the Grand Magic Games and the tensions were high. Awaiting their entrance into the coliseum, the Tenrou team hung out in one of the entryway tunnels.
"Wow, would you listen to that crowd?" Erza began listening to the fireworks and cheers of the audience
"Yeah- I didn't realize there would be so many people..." Lucy commented
"The city is full of wizards from all over the country, of course they wanted to see them in action" Gray replied
"Purple is so lame... I rather wear my regular clothes-" Natsu groaned looking down at his outfit
Fairy Tail's official uniforms were dark purple and white.
"Purple or not you'll just have to deal-" Lucy put her hands on her hips
"Unless you wanna tell the master why the clothes he picked are so lameeee" She pushed
"I don't know about you but I think their super cute-" Vyra boasted as she twirled
"Of course you would..." Natsu sighed watching the bluenette
Purple was her signature color after all.
All the girls had different styles of dresses.
Lucy had a tube top dress with a shoulder padded embroidery, Erza's had a collar as well as arm sleeves for her armor and Vyra's had the straps of her dress come across her neck, criss crossing to go down her back tying it off with a big bow as well as accessorizing with golden arm cuffs similar to her moon form.
"You don't hear me complaining, I think their adorable-" Erza posed next to Gray
"And comfy, skin tight-"
"IT'S NOT SKIN TIGHT! YOUR HALF NAKED!" Lucy yelled at the ice mage
"You guys..." Erza looked down
"Let's do this for Wendy and Carla!" She shouted as the four nodded in agreement reminiscing to early this morning when they went to visit the sky dragon slayer
She was so scared.
Crying and sobbing, she was diagnosed with magic deficiency syndrome.
"WE'LL DO IT FOR WENDY!" Natsu shouted gaining momentum
Vyra watched the dragon slayer. He cared deeply for the younger girl.
"H-Hey, the person who attacked Wendy... do you think they're taking part in the games as well?" Natsu questioned as the teamed looked out into the arena
"I'd think that's a big possibility..." Lucy replied
"Someone's after us..." Vyra narrowed her eyes
"Don't jump to conclusions just yet-" Erza cut off the bluenette
"Let's keep our eyes on the prize and do this for Fairy Tail!"
"We are you moments away from the start of the Grand Magic Games folks. I am lead commentator Chapati Lola doing the play by play, while former magic council member provides commentary."
"Mr. Yajima, glad to have you with us."
"Glad to be here-"
"And let's not forget our special guest, a member of Blue Pegasus and also holds the title of Ms. Fiore... Jenny Realight!"
"Blue Pegasus is bringing home the gold this year!"
...
"Now! The time has come to meet our competitors!"
"First up! In 8th place, an old bunch of wild wizards from Magnolia!"
Natsu, Vyra, Erza, Gray, and Lucy then walked out.
"They had luck in the prelims, and now they are here to take back first place by force!"
"It's Fairy Tail!" Chapati shouted as Natsu rose up a fist
The crowd began to harshly boo pointing and making fun of the team.
"What the hell?!" Natsu spazzed
They knew they were the underdogs in this, but did everyone really hate them?
"I didn't see that coming-" Gray bit his tongue as Vyra slid her hand into his furrowing her eyebrows in nervousness
"I want to go home now..." Lucy looked around
They were all on edge.
"Who knew they would make it this far after losing every year! Will the tenrou teams' SENSATIONAL return help Fairy Tail become Fiore's top guild?!"
"Don't let it get to you-" Erza turned to face the four
"I'm proud of them. Wait it ago kiddos!" Yajima held a thumbs up
"Yeah- Erza's right!" Vyra smacked her cheeks to fizzle out the nerves
"CHEER CHEER CHEER TILL YOU BURST A LUNG!"
"HOORAY!"
"HOORAY!"
"FAIRY TAIL'S NUMBER ONE!"
"The cheers of our comrades is all the support that we need" Erza proclaimed as the three girls nodded watching their guild jump and cheer before they all gasped
"H-Hey? D-Do you see that?!" Natsu questioned pointing
"What-"
"No way-"
"I see it!"
"Yay! Yay! Fairy Tail is number one! Woo-hoo!"
"M-Master Mavis!" Makarov jumped as the rest of the guild in the crowd we in shock
"HAHAHAHAHA! Even master Mavis came out here to cheer for us? We got this in the bag-" Natsu said confidently placing his hands on his hips
"At least the ghost likes us-" Gray muttered
One by one, the other guilds according to their rank began to enter the arena.
Quatro Cerberus, Mermaid Heel, Blue Pegasus, Lamia Scale and so on
"Now to introduce our third place contestants!"
"What a shocker! Swooping in from a midnight dreary, this dark and gloomy bunch are making their debut in this year's games!"
"Give it up for... Raven Tail~" Chapati said spookily
"WHAT THE HECK ARE THEY DOING HERE?"
"This is bad. Their leader is master Makarov's son, Ivan" Erza proclaimed making Lucy gasp as Vyra and Gray watched the group intensely
'Isn't Raven Tail a dark guild?'
'I never heard of them before today-'
"Well- there records appear to be in order. There an old guild, official sources state they've been active for over seven years, but they were only recently approved for official guild status by the magic council-" Chapati read the notes given to him
"If they have official status, then technically they are not a dark guild and therefore are eligible to compete." Yajima spoke
"Fairy Tail..." The man in the mask from Raven Tail edged on the guild
"I trust your little friend is recovering..."
"You were the ones who attacked Wendy..." Nastu furrowed changing his demeanor
"I'm going to make you regret it" He scowled back as the rest of the members glared at them
"Now hold on! We still got two more teams to come out!" Chapati broke the tension between the two guilds
"One of them has to be Sabertooth- and the other?" Vyra questioned as she turned to Erza
"Is probably connected to Zeref-" The redhead began
"If Jellal's intuition was right, I'm guessing we'll find out soon"
Oh how wrong she was.
"Our first place runner up is... Oh Wow! What a surprise! Looks like this competition just got a whole lot more interesting!" Chapati shouted as the Tenrou teams eyes widened
"IT'S FAIRY TAIL TEAM B!"
A flash of lightning cascaded around the group that consisted of Laxus, Mirajane, Gajeel, Juvia, and Mystogan.
"Laxus?" Vyra took a step back
"Mira!" Erza gasped
"And Gajeel?!" Natsu questioned
"How on earth is that fair?!" Lucy ranted
"HEY WHAT ABOUT MEEE!?" Juvia spazzed sporadically
"Hold up, I need some answers?! Someone explain to me how Mystogan is even here?!" Natsu spazzed as he pointed at the team
"It can't be... Jellal, is that you in there?" Erza whispered as the man put up his index finger to his mouth
"You kiddin' me?!" Natsu and Gray jumped as Erza and Vyra freaked out
So much for being incognito...
"Of course they got two teams in. I wouldn't expect anything less-" Hibiki boasted watching the Fairy Tail teams
"What? They had to give Fairy Tail a handicap cause they suck so badly?" A member of Quatro Cerberus retaliated
"You know. I think the new implemented rules may have left the audience a bit perplexed . Care to explain?" Chapati questioned
"Sure thing. The committee in charge of the Grand Magic Games permitted each guild to enter two teams. They thought it would make the preliminaries more exciting."
"I see, so that's why so many teams entered the tournament-" Lucy come to conclusion
"And we were lucky enough to get both our teams through."
"THIS IS A BIG LOAD OF CRAP!" Natsu leaped forward
"Being in the same guild don't mean jack, if I fight against any of you i'm not pulling any punches!"
He pointed "As long as we're in this tournament you're my enemies and I ain't gonna lose to any of you!"
"I wouldn't have it any other way-"
"I look forward to seeing you eat dirt Salamander-" Gajeel pushed getting in Natsu's face
"I'm going up against Laxus? Take me prisoner now-" Vyra held up her wrists in defeat
"We didn't even start yet Vy!" Gray spazzed making the lightning mage chuckle with his arms crossed
"Hey...What are you doing here? This is wrong-" Erza approached Mystogan/Jellal
"Your master is a very understanding person. Once I explained the situation, he gave my plan his blessing."
"You said it was impossible to get into the coliseum-" Erza furrowed
"Yes. Until this opportunity presented itself."
"It's against the rules. You're not an official member of Fairy Tail." She retaliated
"I understand it. Mystogan and I are essentially one and the same"
"Don't be so uptight. This is a festival, were all friends here right- Kiss and make up" Laxus wrapped an arm around the masked man as Erza stared at him
"It'll be fine. Trust me."
"-By the way Mystogan..." Laxus pushed
"Your not usually this much of a chatty Cathy, keep it in mind-" He gripped on to his shoulder
"Understood."
Vyra watched from afar noticing Jellal and the blonde's contact.
Laxus knew everything about the girl. She told him every ounce of her life, from her childhood, day to day at the guild, heck he even knew things Gray doesn't even know about.
Having Laxus and Jellal on the same team. Talking to one another, it made her nervous.
In all honesty she thought to herself-
'How is Laxus okay with this?'
"And last but certainly not least is the guild that came in first place in the preliminaries!" Chapati spoke as the crowd began to cheer
"You know them and you love them-"
"Now give it up for SABERTOOTH!"
The members of the Sabertooth guild came out one by one soaking in all the glory.
They were all different in their own way. The cocky blonde and the buff green haired one were more outgoing as the rest stood in confidence.
"Can't wait to bring them down-" The cotton candy duo scowled watching the obnoxiousness that was the Sabertooth guild
"Why so serious? It's just a game-" The blonde swatted a hand back and forth
"Is there a reason you keep gawking pretty boy?" Gajeel trudged over
"Nothing important..." The quiet black haired one spoke
"At least we finally know who our biggest competition is-" Gray began along side Erza
"Sabertooth..." Vyra muttered as she analyzed each member
First she started with the girl noticing she has keys attached to her coat.
'She's a celestial wizard like Lucy?'
She then turned to the guy with the hat.
'This isn't some kind of fashion show!'
The bluenette though couldn't shake off this feeling that someone was watching her.
She glanced over to the next member and locked eyes with the obnoxious blonde.
He slid his tongue over pearly whites cracking a smile at the bluenette making her go numb
His gaze was intense, it almost gave the girl the chills.
'Why the hell is he looking at me like that?!' She spazzed
She huffed and proceeded to walk over to Natsu and Erza who were trying to figure out a game plan.
Along the other side of the arena team Sabertooth got all the praise from the audience.
"Sting, what are you laughing about?" Rogue questioned the blonde next to him
"It's nothing but-" He brushed a hand through his hair
"I think I already won."
Still having his eyes locked on the bluenette, he smirked.
