Another Friday, another chapter! I hope you all enjoy it!

"Yes... Master made us a deal with taking part in Team B. The team that ends with the lowest points has to do what ever the winning team wants for a day. Ohhh Lord Gray. What colour do you think my wedding dress should be?" Juvia then found herself in her own little world once more.
"ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" Gray shouted out. "Hey old man! This is the first I've heard of this! Why only apply this rule to our team!"
Makarov didn't give Gray answer but Naruto and Erza were sweating bucket loads of sweat. They slowly looked at each other before turning to face the player's box for Fairy Tail B.
Erza had found Mira smiling directly at her while Laxus gave Naruto a dark grin. Natsu on the other hand could only think of one thing. Making Laxus and Gajeel act like Happy.
"Well this does seem to add some spice to the contest between both Fairy Tail teams. What do you make of this Naruto?"
Naruto didn't really know how to answer the question. He panicked and slammed his hands to the table in front of him and shouted. "GRAY YOU BETTER WIN THIS THING!"
Naruto: The Fairy Tail Shadow: Part 3: Chapter 18: The Grand Magic Games Arc Part 13: Hidden Part 2
Location: Domus Flau Arena
"Juvia is sorry Lord Gray... But I can not lose!"
"Bring it!" Juvia as well as Gray both readied themselves to attack but they were both attacked first by Kurohebi.
"SAND FAKE!" Appearing between both mages Kurohebi quickly kicked them into the ground.
"And out of nowhere Kurohebi appears and gains a two point lead! This now leaves both Fairy Tail wizards last and second last with twenty minutes to go! Will they be able to make those valuable points back?!"
Ichiya made his move. He slowly walked through the streets. He was tempting others to attack him.
"Easy pickings!" Mattan shouted loudly as she charged at Ichiya!. Jager also jumped towards Ichiya. However both mages fell short of making any attacks as then suddenly both fell down in pain.
"PAIN PARFUM. It covers a wide area. Thankfully I took enough to counter it's effects."
"Dammit!" Jager shouted out in anger before vanishing.
"So if I get close then I lose. Hmm."
"Wait... What?" Ichiya was confused as he turned to find Kakashi standing on the roof of a near by building.
Kakashi then threw a kunai and it directly hit Ichiya's foot. It didn't draw much blood as Kakashi aimed it perfectly to strike his toe. Ichiya dramatically yelled out in pain. "Don't worry. It will only hurt for a few hours." Kakashi then left Ichiya knowing he had gained his team another point.
"With that quick scuffle over with lets check the leader board with ten minutes remaining. in a tie for last it's Gray and Mattan on minus three points. Above them is Jager on minus two. Juvia is on minus one. Lyon and Rufus are tied with zero points and Ichiya and Millianna are also tied but on one point. Kakashi lies in second with two points and Kurohebi of Raven Tail is in the lead with three points. Every point from now on will make the difference. The only mage yet to make his move is Rufus. Speaking of which. Where is he?"
"This challenge is boring." A voice cried out over the fake city. "I have no need to hide what so ever. Even if I were to be found, I wouldn't be able to be hit... What's left of me is just a memory after all... MEMORY MAKE: A NIGHT OF FALLING STARS!" The sky quickly turned dark as nine bolts of lightning shoot from the aura surrounding Rufus. With each mage covered in a glow the bolts of lightning fired directly to them all. They struck every mage expect one.
"LIGHTNING BLADE!" Kakashi meet the attack head on and his lightning blade quickly over powered Rufus' attack. "You're exposed!" Before Rufus could react Kakashi swiftly punched his lower jaw sending him flying up into the air. "So much for my attack hitting a memory. I would spend less time thinking you're untouchable.."
"How'd..." Rufus was about to ask how Kakashi was able to easily counter his attack and strike him but before he faded to a different place he noticed Kakashi's left eye was no longer covered. In the final moments of the sky covered in darkness from Rufus' attack Kakashi's left eye gave off a chilling red glow.
"And with single attack Rufus has taken the lead with eight points! However he was caught by Kakashi so he only loses one point. The time remaining is two minutes."
Kakashi then pulled out no stops. "SHADOW CLONE!"
'HEY THAT'S MY MOVE!' Naruto inwardly roared out.
Creating only two clone they each ran across the city as quickly as they could. The first clone was lucky to find Rufus once more and hit him again. This time with a Lariat. Next found again was Ichiya. This time with out the protection of his pain parfum Kakashi knocked him over with a simple kick to his leg. The last one he found was Jager. With a simple punch to his gut the bell to signal the end of Hidden rung out.
"What an amazing finish from Kakashi! Lets check on the final scores for Hidden!"
Gray -4pts (Fairy Tail A - 0pts)
Mattan -4pts (Twilight Orge - 0 pts)
Jager -4pts (Quatro Cerberus - 0pts)

Millianna 0pts (Mermaid Heel - 4pts)
Kurohebi 2pts (Raven Tail - 6pts)
Rufus 6pts (Sabertooth - 8pts)
Kakashi 6pts (Hidden Beasts - 10pts)
"Alright I've been handed a note from the judges. They have stated that since Lyon and Ichiya and Rufus and Kakashi are tied with the same amount of points they have decided that Lyon will finish above Ichiya and Kakashi above Rufus as both mages received fewer points deducted. Let's see how this has effecting the overall scoring."

"With that now over with we will now begin our battle round! We will start in half an hours time. Our first battle is Nullpudding of Raven Tail vs Erza of Fairy Tail A!"
Upon hearing his mother's name being called out Minato looked at his father. "I feel sorry for him. Mommy's gonna kick his ass!"
"Hey we still have some time shall we go wish her luck?"
"Yeah!"
"Alright then, lets go! Yajima We'll be a few moments if that's ok."
"Sure, sure go on ahead. Say hi to Erza for him won't cha." Yajima then waved Naruto off as they both left to see Erza. nearing the players box for Fairy Tail A Minato ran on ahead and hugged his mother after he had called out for her.
"Hey sweetie! Are you here to wish mommy luck?" Minato simply gave a yep and a nod in response.
"Hey Naruto what do you think of this idea of the losing team has to do whatever the winning team says for the day. Pretty cool right!?" Natsu eagerly nudged Naruto.
"Well I suppose it would be fun. What did you have in mind?" Naruto asked Natsu.
"That's easy... Make Gajeel and Laxus talk like Happy the entire day!" Great excitement could be heard in Natsu's voice.
"That's pretty weak Natsu."
"Oh yeah then tell me what were you thinking huh!?"
"I was thinking more along then lines of getting Cana to join in a threesome." No sooner had the words passed Naruto's lips Erza coldly turned and gave Naruto an evil glare. "JOKING! JOKING! Ha ha ha ha ha." Naruto tired his best to calm Erza down but it had little effect. He then quickly grabbed hold of Minato. "Come on son. I think we've given mommy all the motivation she's gonna need for today." Holding on to Minato, Naruto gave Erza a quick kiss on her cheek before running away as fast as he could.
"Hey Lucy... What's a threesome?" Lucy face palmed herself from hearing Natsu's question.
"Are you... Really a man?"
(Erza vs Nullpudding)
"Could Erza of Fairy Tail A and Nullpudding of Raven Tail please make there way to the arena floor!"
"I can't believe him... I'd hate to admit it but I almost had the same idea as well... I've got to stop reading those books." Erza was think loudly to herself as she entered the arena floor. Nullpudding as already there waiting for her to arrive.
(Erza Theme OST)
"You've kept me waiting. But I wouldn't expect anything else from a Fairy Tail wizard. He he."
"I have nothing to say to you." Erza coldly stared at Nullpudding.
It did not effect Nullpudding. In fact he was relishing the challenge. The whole time while in Raven Tail he trained to fight Erza. He knew all of her moves. All of her armours. And Had a single counter for each. "Are we gonna stare all day or fight?"
"RE-QUIP: HEAVEN'S WHEEL!" Re-quipping into her Titania armour Erza rushed towards Nullpudding. "PENTAGRAM SWORD!" Slicing a star across Nullpudding, Erza thought the battle was quickly over.
"He he he... That tickled." Nullpudding chuckled as he allowed Erza to see he had changed his skin. It was now a far darker shade of purple. "You see miss Erza. I can harden my skin so much so that not even steel can cut it." Nullpudding then rushed towards Erza. "NEEDLE CANNON!" Firing needles from skin Erza had to cut them away to avoid getting hit.
"You've left your back exposed. "NEEDLE BLAST!" Nullpudding punched Erza's exposed back. Erza was soon about into the arena wall from the force of Nullpudding attacks. Instead she pushed herself forward by kicking the walls.
"RE-QUIP: LIGHTNING EMPRESS!"
"You can change all you want your attack will have no effect on me! NEEDLE CANNON!" ONce more Nullpudding fired needles towards Erza.
With a lighter armour Erza easily dodged each needle with eaze and got within close range to Nullpudding. "SPEAR OF LIGHTNING!" Spinning her staff into order to charge the attack Erza unleashed a blue bolt of lighting. It directly hit Nullpudding who had just managed to lift his forearm in front of his body. This was to try and block the attack.
"Ok, that one hit a little." Nullpudding was still standing but a little bruising on his arm.
"If that hit you then I think elemental attacks would be best from here on out. RE-QUIP: FLAME EMPRESS!" Erza then quickly sliced Nullpudding with her flame sword and this time it took damage.
(Yami Guild OST)
"Fucking fairy bastards... I..." Nullpudding was about to be struck down by Erza but suddenly the light in her eyes dimmed down and she lost focus and control over her armour. Reverting back to her normal clothes Erza fell to her knees. She swayed from side to side as she fought to stay up.
Nullpudding then realized what had happened as he looked towards the other members of Team Raven Tail. "I have to take Obra after this one then. NEEDLE BLAST!" Nullpudding knocked Erza backwards and through the air.
Erza landed hard on the ground and showed no sign of getting up. "Erza is unable to contin..." Mato was cut short as Nullpudding rushed towards Erza trying to get one final killing blow.
Naruto watched this from the commentators box. "Yajima watch Minato. FLYING RAIJIN!" Naruto quickly left and made it just in time.
Having just made it in time Naruto punch manged to cancel out Nullpudding's punch. What amazed the crowd even more was that Naruto was standing still but Nullpudding had a run up and was running at full speed. "I'd say that might've broken your arm hehe." Nullpudding chuckled as he stared at the Fairy Tail Shadow.
(Eclipse Gate OST)
"Nope... Look again." Naruto's arm was different from before. His skin was also different. It was pitch black except his finger, knuckles and thumb. "This match is over. You win." Naruto then pushed his fist forward which pushed Nullpudding backwards.
"This fight is over when I say it's over."
"No. I'm taking Erza to see some attention. This fight is over." Naruto then turned and picked up Erza bridal style. He then walked towards the exit.
"If you won't get out of my way then I'll just punch through you!" Nullpudding rushed towards Naruto's back. "NEEDLE!" Nullpudding stopped short as his path was blocked by mages from Fairy Tail A, B, Blue Pegasus, Lamia Scale, Mermaid Heel, Quatro Cerberus and Hidden Beasts.
"I think ref it would be best to confirm this fight. Other wise it could get out of hand." Jiraiya stated to Mato who simply nodded back.
"Erza is unable to battle. Nullpudding wins 10pts for Raven Tail!" Following Mato's announcement a large amount of boos from the crowd. Towards not only Raven Tail but to Twilight Orge and Sabertooth as well for not jumping in as well.
"I don't know what to make of this folks. In an act of madness it seems Nullpudding didn't allow the ref to finish calling the match in order to get a cheap shot on Erza. Yajima what do you think of this?" Chapati then turned to see Yajima's face giving a mean and menacing look.
Yajima didn't answer. Instead he covered his had over his microphone. "Would you mind covering the next fight or two by yourself. I'll take Minato here to his grandfather."
"Sure."
(Naruto)
Hearing footsteps Erza slowly opened her eyes. To find Naruto holding her as he walked through the exit tunnel of the Domus Flau Arena. "I'm sorry."
"What are you sorry for?" Naruto asked a crying Erza.
"I'm sorry for not noticing that thing until it was too late. Once it touched me I could feel all my energy leave me." Erza then held to Naruto as tightly as she could. She cried into his chest.
"You scared the life out of me and poor Minato. I'm just glad you're ok." Naruto then kissed Erza's head as he walked he towards the infirmary.
