"Welcome to day two of the Grand Magic Games. Joining me today up in the commentary box today is Mr Yajima and our special Guest commentator today is none other than the Weekly Sorcerer Reporter Jason!" Chapati said.
"It's nice to be here again" Replied Yajima
"COOOOL!" yelled Jason
"The event of the second day 'Chariot' is already underway. Competing within this event is; Risley Law from Mermaid Heel, Ichiya V. Kotobuki from Blue Pegasus, Natsu Dragneel from Fairy Tail A, Gajeel Redfox from Fairy Tail B, Yuka Suzuki from Lamia Scale, Kurohebi from Raven Tail, Sting Eucliffe from Sabertooth and Magna Swing from The Black Bull." Said Chapati before going on with how the game works. "This is a race along connected war chariots to reach the finish without falling off. The chariots will be constantly moving, so even a momentary lapse in concentration could lead to a mistake. So which team will be the first to cross the finish line! So enjoy the match on lacrima screens." Chapati finished getting cheers from the crowd and a cool from his guest Jason.
"Why did Natsu enter this one?" Gray questioned his team.
"It's called 'Chariot' you could tell from the name. Or you SHOULD." Lucy spoke.
"He said he was competing and wouldn't listen to reason." Said frustrated Erza, crossing her arms annoyed at Natsu's actions once again.
The Lacrima screen shows the competitors racing along with the chariots somewhat close to one another bar from three that is. "From far behind the leading group is Natsu from Fairy Tail, looking incredibly groggy!"
Showing Natsu struggling to take a few steps forward, sweating and shaking, trying his best to keep his stomach from giving up the food he ate this morning.
"And he isn't alone! Just steps ahead of him are Gajeel from Fairy Tail B and Sting from Sabertooth. Both also look groggy!" Shocking everyone in Fairy Tail that Gajeel and Sting are suffering from the same motion sickness.
The Black Bull focused more on the leading group where their teammate was battling for the first spot.
"At the front is Raven Tail's Kurohebi, right behind him is Ichiya from Blue Pegasus, and Yuka from Lamia Scale, also from Mermaid Heel Lisie. Just slightly behind them is Magna from the Black Bulls." Chapati relays the order of the racers within the leading group.
"Time to take the lead though I'm surprised you could keep up, given your shape." said Yuka to Lisie.
"Don't underestimate the power of the chub!" She replied.
"Well see you two at the finish line Wave Motion Boost!" Yuka sends waves of magic from his hands both pushing him forward and slowing down both Lisie and Ichiya. "You won't be able to use magic inside my wave." Taking the lead in front of them made him clear second.
"Don't you dare underestimate the chub!" Lisie yelled uses her gravity transformation to avoid the Wave from Yuka by now running on the side of the chariot
"A wave that eliminates magic?" Ichiya running through the waves. "Then Fast Feet Perfume Point Blank Inhale" Ichiya sticks two test tubes into his nose sniffing it up before shooting past Yaku leaving him behind in his dust "Man!"
"Oh. They're really getting into it. Makes my spirit fired up. Maybe it's time to take it up a notch. Magna is just behind them. He just smiles, making his Grimore fly out in front of him without even thinking about it, it glows a bright fiery red. It opens up and starts flipping through pages at a fast speed before stopping at one.
While this is happening the other guilds were watching him carefully to see if they could work out the secret of those books
"LET'S GOOO!" Magna yelled, "Fire Reinforcement Magic: Base Run Gamble" Shoes of fire formed at his feet as he shot forward past Yuka, Ichiya and Lisie. Catching up to the leader Kurohebi, leaving a trail of fire in his wake.
Magna was closing in on the finish line, just able to pass Kurohebi taking the lead. But Kurohebi had other plans. He formed a whip made of sand and tripped Magna just before the finish line making him skid to a stop just less than a meter before the line. Making the crowd boo the Raven Tail Member for what he did as he came in first followed by Lisie, Yuka before Magna got up and over the finish line before Ichiya could pass him, taking fourth place. This pissed off the Black Bulls as they stared at the Raven Tail members as a warning that if they tried anything like that again they weren't getting off lightly.
"Coming in First due to unconventional means was Kurohebi from Raven Tail." The crowd booed again. "Lisie from Mermaid Heel in second, coming in third, Yuka from Lamia Scale, Magna from the Black Bulls in fourth, and Ichiya from Blue Pegasus in fifth." Chapati announced the finishing lineup so far. "And all that's left are these three in the race for last place." Making the crowd laugh at his joke as the Lacrima screen focused back onto the three Dragon Slayers struggling to walk/crawl forward.
"Th-this can't be, urp. I've always been fine with moving vehicles. Urp" Gajeel struggled to get out sweat dripping down his face, covering his mouth in an attempt to stop himself from throwing up.
"Then. Urp, You finally joined us as a full-fledged dragon slayer." Sting replied look just as bad as Gajeel.
"Wow what a weird side effect of magic." Siad Vanessa watched the three dragon slayers trying to fight each other as well as move forward despite being zapped of all of their strength.
"Ha man this is hard to watch but at least we know their weakness, from what I've heard and read Slayer type magic is pretty powerful." Spoke Zora from behind her watching the screen with a critical eye as he has done with all the matches so far.
Natsu and Gajeel move ahead of Sting in the race. "F-fine you can have this match. From here on we'll win every time. So we don't need one or two measly points." Sting called out.
"Don't go crying over your missing points later kiddo." Gajeel said while smirking back at Sting all the while he and Natsu were crawling on all fours trying to get a head on one another as Sting just stands back and watches the display.
"Answer me this? Why did you guys join the games? I'd never see the old Fairy Tail doing this. Like now you all care about how strong you are, or what other people think of you. What happened to the Fairy Tail from my childhood, that did what they wanted, when they wanted. And didn't give a crap what anybody thought about them!"
"It's for my friends!" Natsu yelled. "For seven years, they waited for us. It was hard for them, they had sad times. They got humiliated but they didn't give up. And kept the guild together. It's for my friends! I wanted to show that Fairy Tail never gave up, not for a second and that we'll live on! That's why I've gotta move forward!" Natsu yelled out with so much passion that it shocked all those that looked down on Fairy Tail, and made all of Fairy Tail cry as well as most of the crowd.
"GOAAAL!" Yelled Chapati when Natsu crossed the line shortly followed by Gajeel. "Fairy Tail A Natsu comes in sixth for two points!"
"Our first points." Natsu said falling on the ground due to exhaustion
"And in seventh is Fairy Tail B Gajeel for one point! Sabertooth Sting is out of the running with zero points!" Chapati announced the results of the Chariot race. And the crowd starts to clap and cheer for Fairy Tail's effort and passion.
Yami just smirks as he smokes his cigarette "Now that's one way of pushing past your limit." walking off to go take a well needed dump.
"So here are the standing at the moment!" Chapati said as the Lacrima screens changed to display the standing of all the teams at the moment.
1st Place: Raven Tail – 26 points
2nd Place: Lamia Scale – 20 points
3rd Place: Black Bulls – 19 points
4th Place: Blue Pegasus – 16 points
4th Place: Sabertooth – 13 points
6th Place: Mermaid Heel – 10 points
7th Place: Fairy Tail A – 2 point
7th Place: Fairy Tail B – 2 points
"Now onto the Battles of Day Two of the Grand Magic Games! The first match is the winner of the Chariot race. Kurohebi from Raven Tail versus Lamia Scale Toby Orrolta!"
OooooO
Raven Tail: Kurohebi vs Lamia Scale: Toby Orrolta - Same as Canon
OooooO
The crowd booed Kurohebi for destroying Toby's sock, as Erza and Asta had to be held back by their respective teammates to stop them from going down there to beat Kurohebi up.
"Now to get the bad taste out of our mouths, here's our second battle." Said Chapati trying to get what just happened out of his head to focus on the second battle. "It's Magna Swing from The Black Bulls!" The crowd roared when Magna stepped out on the field with a grin while pushing his purple shade sunglasses glasses up, just soaking up the feel of being cheered for.
"And facing him from Fairy Tail A…" Chapati continued.
"It's us?" Said Ezra.
"What will we do if they call Natsu?" Questioned Lucy.
"Beat him until he wakes up" Answered Gray.
"He was the one at the bar last night." Spoke Elfman
"Whoever fights him, give him a good beating for what his guild Master said." Added Gray.
"Elfman!" With some of the crowd cheering Elfman on to him what he got.
Elfman walks down onto the field meeting up with Magna who is standing there waiting for him "Oh man, what do they feed you? You're just as big as Captain Yami." Magna smiled up at Elfman. "Well, I can't call myself a man if I back down. You might be as big as he is, but I doubt you're as strong. Let's put your overgrown muscles to the test."
"Man." That was all Elfman replied with.
"How about we make a bet like the two before, the winner is a true man."
"All right." Elfman agreed with him.
With the gong ringing, the battle starts. Magna jumps back with his skull and cross bone Grimorie lights up in a fire aura hovers in front of him as it flips open to a random page, but that was not all. Everyone in the stadium was shocked by what happened next, bar The Black Bulls, a baseball bat handle made of fire came out of it. Magna reached out and grabbed it and pulled the rest of it out of the book. "Fire Creation Magic: Grand Slam." Only for him to start swinging the bat as a small ball of fire came flying toward Elfman at fast speed.
With little time to react to the fireballs, Elfman jumps into one of his beast takeover forms "Beast Soul: War Tiger." Tuning the man into a manlike cheetah beast before dodging Magna's attack with easies while moving towards him with incredible speed for someone his size. Getting up and close to his opponent expecting him to jump back to dodge his punch. Elfman was shocked to see Magna step into his attack showing no fear, swinging his baseball bat made on fire with all his might towards Elfman's unprotected abdomen. Both attacks sent their opponents back a few meters, shocking everyone what they had just witnessed.
"SOOO COOOOL!" Jason screamed, shaking with joy.
"Amazing! I can't believe he took a hit just to get one in for himself. Who are these Black Bulls and where did they come from?" Chapati yelled loving his job right now.
Back on the field both Magna and Elfman land on their feet after their hits on each other. Only for Magna to drop his bat as it dissolved into nothing before stepping into a pitching action to throw another spell. Just as Elfman stopped sliding back. "Fire Magic: Exploding Fireball." Elfman had no time to dodge the attack, he just braced for the impact by crossing his arms over his head.
"Beast Soul" The explosion from the connecting attack was all that could be heard. Creating a dust cloud hiding the results of Magna's attack. The crowd was silent until the clouds blew away by the wind. Surprised by most, Elfman was standing strong with smoke coming off him covered in armoured like green scales. "- Lizard Man"
Elfman changed out of lizard man when Magna spoke up. "Man how many of those things can you turn into? Well, it doesn't matter, I'm going to take you down." Going back into his pitcher's stance forming a fireball in his hand, Elfman turns back into his War Tiger form ready to dodge and counter, but he was not prepared for what happened next. "Fire Magic: Exploding Buckshot." Numerous fireballs came flying towards Elfman covering the whole field of play giving no place to dodge the attack. The whole arena was covered in explosions for a breeze to clear the debris to give the audience a view of the aftermath of that spell, all they saw was slightly burnt Elfman. He was able to dodge the worst of the attack. "Not bad I guess you are pretty fast in that form."
"Ha, Man was that all you've got I barely felt that." Mocked Elfman trying to and successfully getting under Magna's skin. He charged him with all his speed. appearing in front of Magna in what seemed to be a second as he threw a combo of punches at him finishing with an uppercut making him fly a few meters away before landing hard on the ground. With the crowd roaring for Elfman that he won with Elfman panting a little putting his fist up in victory.
"He won!" said an excited Lucy.
"That will show those Black Bulls." Spoke Gray.
"It's not over yet." Replied Erza looking down at the field. With Lucy and Gray and the rest of the stadium looking on in shock as Magna who is bleeding from the head and spitting blood out from his mouth stood back up.
"Man you're tough, I'll give you that, but when it comes to taking a beating and enduring. I'm the strongest!" Magna spoke with so much fire behind his voice, shocking Elfman cold, "Let's see you dodge this." Going once again into his pitcher stance as Elfman is ready to dodge the incoming attack "Fire Magic: Exploding Vanishing Scattershot." Elfman just stood there watching the multiple fireballs to see which way to dodge. When it happened, his eyes grew wide and so did everyone else in the stadium. All the fireballs seemed to just disappear in front of him only to be followed by a huge explosion where Elfman was standing. "Man I'm running low on mana… I just had to have a battle when I competed, didn't I… Well if I can't win this then I can't call myself a man." Patted Magna.
"ELFMAN!" Yelled Evergreen, Mira and Lisanna.
"Wh-What was that?" A shocked Lucy asked.
Once again everyone had to wait for the dust clouds to clear to see the after match of that vanishing fire spell. Once clear, showing Elfman down on a knee with burns covering his body breathing heavily, he tried his best to get back up, for his guild. He needs to win this. Once he was up on his feet again "Beast Soul: Lizard Man." Turning once again into the armoured scale green lizardman. "If I can't dodge your attacks… I just have to outlast your magic stores." Elfman fell back into his defensive position.
Magna standing there catching his breath and trying to come up with a plan to get past that scaled skin to do some more damage. "… A battle between real men, I like it. Let's see who can last." He starts running towards Elfman throwing fireballs towards him "Fire Magic: Timed Explosion Scattershot." Only for these fireballs to explode all around him blocking him from a kind of escape. All Elfman could hear was Magna's voice over the explosion. "Fire Magic: Maximum Exploding Fireball." Elfman's eyes widened, shooting through the wall of flames. A huge ball, shocked at the size of it all Elfman could do was brace for impact and hope for the best.
BOOOOOOOM! A huge explosion rocked the whole stadium, shocking everyone to silence no one dared move or even blink as they didn't want to miss a second of the outcome of this match between what could be said the two manliest mages in the Grand Magic Games. Once the audience could see the field of play once again. Both Magna and Elfman are on their knees, sweating and panting both trying to stand up.
Magna was the first to rise to his feet screaming as he stood, raising his fists in the air. "You… said your… name was… Elfman?" Asked Magna, struggling to breathe.
"And the one standing is Magna Swing, from The Black Bulls!" Yelled Chapati. The crowd was still in shocked silence as Fairy Tail were sad and disappointed that they lost once again.
Only for Manga to continue talking, "You really are… A TRUE MAN!" Magna falls straight onto his back out cold.
"HE DOWN, MAGNA IS DOWN! THE WINNER IS ELFMAN! FAIRY TAIL TEAM A GAINS TEN POINTS." Yelled an excised Chapati "WHICH BRINGS THEM TO TWELVE POINTS!" The crowd roars a deafening roar over Fairy Tail's first win in the games.
Finral opens a portal down onto the field to pick up the defeated Magna and deliver him to the infirmary to be healed up. While Fairy Tail members do the same for Elfman.
Asta looking at the others "I'm going to see how Magna is doing?" walking down the stairs to the infirmary for Vanessa and Noelle joining him with Gordon following not too far behind them.
OooooO
With Lisanna, the Thunder God Tribe minus Laxus and team Natsu were in the infirmary to see how Elfman is doing after his win bringing Fairy Tail A back in the running.
"You did well Elfman, your strength in taking a hit and your unbending spirit may make you the best in the guild. We promise to build on the victory you snatched today." Spoke Erza was impressed with Elfman's performance.
"Even Erza recognizes you now!" And surprised and happy Lucy said.
"His performance was that impressive." Said an equally happy Gray
"I was shaking, Elfman! Seriously!" Said a pumped up Natsu
"Quit making it sound like it's my funeral." A tired and hurt Elfman voiced recoiling in pain with Lisanna wiping his wounds clean.
"Well, it's true that all he had going for him was his sturdy body and a thick skull." Liassan, trying to support her brother in his time of need.
Natsu tries not to laugh at him. "Well, that's kinda sad." He spoke to Elfman, getting him mad.
"That's all you got going for you too!" He yelled back at Natsu.
Only for Wendy to cut in before the argument got out of hand "But you really were amazing! I'll try my best taking over while you recover Elfman." Making him smile at the demeaned look in the young dragon slayer eyes.
Before any of them could continue, they heard a loud voice coming from down the hall that sounded familiar to them. "Are you sure you know where you're going, I don't want to get lost again?" Sounded an annoyed female. As the steps drew closer and closer.
"Yes, Finral said he dropped him off at this room." Said an equally familiar voice trying to calm down the first speaker.
"The commoner better be awake when I get there. I'm not missing the next match just to watch him sleep" The first spoke again.
For a new voice to cut in between the two "Relax Noelle, we all know you're just as worried about him just like the rest of us."
"Huh… like I worried about how that low born feels. He should feel grateful that I'm even visiting him." The door to the infirmary swings open, Noelle coming face to face with the Fairy Tail members already in the room. Went red in the face and closed the door before anything else could be said. "BAKASTA I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU KNEW WHERE YOU WERE GOING!" Yelled a flustered Noelle behind the now closed door but still clearly heard.
"I did. Is he not in the room?" Spoke the said Bakasta only for Porlyusica to get up and walk to the door mumbling something about kids being too loud before opening it looking at the odd group in front of her. Before beginning to speak
"If you're looking for your teammate, he's in the last bed in the room. And please keep the noise down, they need their rest." She said in a treating tone getting a nod from the four Black Bulls as they walked into the room silently.
"Sorry for the intrusion, I hope we can become good friends" Mumbled Gordon to the Fairy Tail members in the room getting a confused and scared look out of one of them as Gordon waved at them as Wendy hid behind Erza.
"Don't worry about him, little girl, that's just how he talks. And behind that scary face of his, he's the friendliest person you'll ever meet." Said a pink haired woman as she kneeled down to Wendy's height. "I don't think I met you last night, I'm Vanessa." She said, pointing to herself, "That's Asta." Pointing to the now waving muscular boy. "Next to him is Noelle." Now looking at a slightly taller girl who looked so elegant just standing there. "And the scary looking man is Gordon." Looking back at Gordon who was still waving at her, making her wave back getting a creepy looking smile from him. "Anyway, we'll get out of your way. We have a virgin delinquent to visit."
Wendy just tilts her head in confusion "V-Virgin? What's that?" She asked Erza hoping to get an answer from her only to see her red face. Then turning to Lisanna and Lucy who also had red faces confusing the little girl even more.
Only to be interrupted by a loud annoying voice coming from behind the curtain at the end of the room "I'm not a DELINQUENT!" He yelled. Shocking the Fairy Tail members not only because he yelled out when they thought he was asleep but for the older members that he didn't deny the virgin part of the statement.
With the Virgin question from Wendy forgotten, The Black Bull moved towards their squadmate. "How are you doing Manga?" Asked a happy Asta, seeing his friend already awake as a good sign.
"I'm fine, I just need to rest a bit." He said, trying to sit up but Vanessa stopped him with her hand making him lay down again.
"It's good to see you doing fine. Though next time you get this beat up you should win." A high and mighty Noelle spoke hitting Manga harder than she thought it would 'W-Why did it come out like that?' she thought.
"Oh... you want to go, Little Miss Princess. Like you could have done better. And you should treat me with respect, I am your superior." He fought back as Noelle just hummed in response. Gordon came to Manga's side to confront him about his loss, only to be interrupted by Vanessa.
"Don't worry too much about it, it's only the second day and we're not too far off from the top as the points are quite evenly spread." Making Manga feel better
"You're right." He smiled, making the rest smile back at him. "You should get going if you don't want to miss the next match." Getting a nod from the rest as they wished him and Elfman well, they left the room with only Manga, Elfman, Thunder God Tribe and Porlyusica left. Walk back to the stands just in time to watch the next match start.
OooooO
Fairy Tail Team B: Mirajane Strauss vs Blue Pegasus: Jenny Realight - same as canon
OooooO
"Wow! I wish all that battle lasted forever!" Yelled and overly excited Finral with blood dripping from his nose and hears in his eyes waving around like a lovesick puppy. "I'm so buying next week's magazine."
"They have nothing on Maire." Finral just ignored Gauche as he continued to gush over Mira and Jenny, as the rest of The Black Bulls backed away from the two.
