Hello everyone. Sorry about the long wait for this chapter I had some difficulty with how to write this chapter and to it flowed nicely. So I hoped I was able to do that. On a brighter note the next two chapters have basically been written, just have to touch them up. So it shouldn't be a long wait for those ones. So I do appreciate your patients. I hope you enjoy the chapter and I can't wait to get the next two out to you. But enough about this, on with the story.
"What a display from Fairy Tail. Shooting up the leaderboard in just one event. But now it's onto the battle rounds, up first is Mermaid Heel, Millianna Vs The Black Bulls, Luck Volta." Chapati said, getting a roar from the crowd as they can't wait to see how this feline girl will fare against the crazed lightning bolt of a boy from the Hidden game from day one.
Lahar leans forward on his chair taking a keen interest in this battle than the others that will happen today though his partner Mest will disagree. The magic council has been keeping a close eye on the rogue magic guild known as the Black Bull's that appeared out of nowhere over 18 months ago.
OooooO
Magic Council headquarters - Era - six months ago
OooooO
Lahar was called up by the chairman Gran Doma to speak about a possible new mission. On his way to the council room he passed a tall buff man smoking a cigarette looking frustrated as hell muttering to himself. The only words he could pick were, waste of time and where's the can.
Reaching the large grand doors he knocks before waiting outside until he gets a response, once hearing come he opens the large doors and closes them behind him as he steps into the room. Looking up at where the council members sit he only finds the one that has summoned him here Gran Doma a tall and fit elderly man with long greying hair and a long beard. He is moderately clad in fitted armour; has an ornate cape draped over his shoulders. He also sports a stereotypical wizard hat. And in his left hand is a large staff with a designed serpent head on it.
As if sensing Lahar's confusion he spoke "The others left already as they seem to need a break after dealing with our last visitor." Lahar just moves forward, thinking it must have been the man he passed on his way up.
It's not until Lahar makes his way to the podium that Doma speaks again. "Lahar, I have an important mission for you and your team. I want to gather as much information as you can on the new guild we're calling the Black Bull's."
Lahar nods before asking for permission to speak, once granted he asked "Of course Sir, but can I ask for what purpose? So I can focus on what type of information we may need to gather."
"The whole guild is an enigma. We have no records for any of their members of that guild other than when they suddenly appeared a year ago. And the talk with their guild master didn't provide any real answers as well."
"What do you mean? … spies? From another country."
"No I didn't get that impression plus they would be the worst spies in history who would cause a huge ruckus everywhere they go if they were spies. No, I felt something else from them."
"..."
"Though he tried his best, he did make a few slip up throughout our meeting though I doubt some of the other council picked up on it. Like phrases and other small customs that felt odd and I have travelled most of this vast world and have read about the rest and none of them adds up to anywhere here on Earthland."
"Wait, are you saying…"
"Yes, I don't believe these people are from our world."
"But… Edolas I thought they couldn't use magic naturally. And from all the reports I've seen on this group, while some use items they still use magic from the body." Lahar questions Doma theory.
"Who said anything about Edolas… If one other world exists out there who to say another doesn't with people who can use magic. Magic that seems to be quite powerful."
"But why are they here?"
"That is what I want you and your group to find out, we already have a small lead as to what they have been after since their arrival but not much is known about these Magic stones of legend that they seem to be hunting down."
"Magic stones?"
"Not much is known about them as they are from a time before Zeref and information from then is a rumour at best but the stone have seemed to be forgotten to history. But if you were to have them and a high magic capacity it would amplify your magic. Well so we think, but we only know about it because the royal family has one in their possession. Other than that to everyone else they don't even exist."
"I see, how many do they have?"
"We can't be sure, that's what you have to find out. And for what purposes do they need them. We will also need to learn any weakness we could use against them if the time comes. So can I count on you to carry this mission out?"
"Of course Sir, I'll head out as soon as I collect everyone."
OooooO
Present Time
OooooO
With the job of finding out everything they could about the Black Bull's. Lahar only concluded that Doma was right and they aren't from this world. So if these people are this strong, what other threats could come from their world. To prevent that they would have to work out how their magic worked and the weakness behind them. Which was hard to do as they moved around a lot and they could never record anything of significant note.
Plus they also now have to investigate the Grand Magic Games as something off with the information they receive about the games. Making Lahar workload that much larger than what was until he came up with an idea. By making the royal family have one of the Grand prizes be the magic stone they had, they are able to learn more about them as well as keep an eye on what's happening behind the scenes here in the games.
Coming out of his thoughts Lahar forced back no the games hoping to learn anything new with the upcoming match.
Up with the Bulls, Luck is jumping around excited about his fight while Asta is a little upset that he has yet to take part in the games so far. "Yes, this will be fun." He said with joy still jumping around throwing some air punches to pump himself up only to be held still by one of the Bulls
"Now listen here. You win this game that means not playing around with them until it's a draw. That means you win as soon as you can. Got that!" Gauche yelled at Luck holding him down so he listened, Luck laughed at him with joy, making Gauche give up and let's him go with a huff "Fine do what you want just make sure to end your game before the time runs out."
"Oh don't be like that." Said Luck "Don't worry I'll win this." Licking his lips before jumping down into the arena in a flash.
Luck didn't have to wait long as Millianna was just as quick to get down because she too was excited for the match with the boy who blitzed the first game, from the dark horse guild of the tournament. With the two ready and the crowd cheering in excitement for the upcoming fight.
The gong rang out signalling the start of the match Millianna jumped right into action firing off the first spell as fast as she could to catch the lightning user flat footed "Nekosoku Tube" A long stretchy tube with a small cat paw at the end, flies towards Luck ready to ensnare him. She knows she wouldn't be able to catch him from the speed he has shown on day one. So she hopes she is able to catch him off guard.
Luck just looked up at the oncoming Neko tube with a joyful expression, he watched it come closer and closer to him until it was just upon him. Only to jump a little to the right to dodge the attack. Though he didn't expect the tube to change direction so quickly and stretch itself around his left arm holding him in place.
Seeing that her opponent was trapped Millianna took the advantage to try and finish this off with the next attack pulling off her gloves revealing her long sharp painted nails. All the while Luck watched on while being held in the air by his left arm. Millianna moves in for her next attack "Secret Weapon: Scratch Attack" Scratching Luck's face making him fall to the ground as the tube holding him up disappears.
Millianna stands a few feet away from Luck, thinking she has finished the match with her quick attacks, stopped when she hears laughter coming from the now scratched up Luck he stands back up and turns around to face her with a haunting smile before he began to speak "Hahaha you're fast this is going to be good Hahaha!" Blue lightning sparks crackle off him, his grimoire levitates out of this bookbag to appear in front of him, only for Luck to blur out of sight.
Millianna looks around frantically trying to spot her opponent, but only ever sees the blue streak of lightning he leaves behind in this wake. She stops when a sharp numbing pain hits her neck. Luck has grabbed her from behind with his lightning gloves. "But not fast enough." He said softly, before electrocuting her. Millianna blacks out, only to fall to the ground when Luck lets go of her neck. He backs away from her with a small frown thinking to himself if only she could have kept up with him in the fight it would've lasted longer and been more fun. He turns away to go back to his squadmates.
Chapati announces the winner of the match "With a shockingly fast end, the winner is Luck Volta from the Black Bulls. Bringing their point total up to 32. Bring them to second place for the moment, though we still have plenty more matches to go. Let's see if they are able to keep it."
Lahar just watches Luck as he makes his way back to the stands greeted by his squadmates. Thinking how troublesome of an opponent that guild would be if they fought against this world.
"Up next we have Eve Tearm from Blue Pegasus and Rufus Lore from Sabertooth. How will these two battle it out as both on at the bottom of the leader board will Rufus win to start Sabertooths come back to the top, or will Eve jump on top of them? I don't know about you folks but it will be interesting, to say the least." Chapati spoke with passion turning to Yajima to get his thoughts
"Yes for both teams it's a must win if they want to win this tournament." He spoke with a nod of the head as they turned to watch both opponents enter the field.
OooooO
Blue Pegasus: Eve Tearm vs Sabertooth: Rufus Lore - same as canon
OooooO
"The winner is Sabertooth!" Yelled Chapati. "Beating the distracted Eve with a powerful fire spell that burnt through his snow magic."
"That's something that will haunt my nightmares for the rest of my life." Said a spoked Finral trying his best but failing to force the image of Ichiya in a bubble bath out of his head. The rest of the Black Bulls and the whole crowd in attendance today nod their heads in agreement as what was witnessed could not be unwitnessed.
"Up next we have Laxus Dreyar from Fairy Tail team B up against Alexei from Raven Tail." Chapati announced the next match. Fairy Tail guild looking on with confidence in Laxus' ability to win this match without too much hassle.
Down on the field facing one another off, when the gong rang starting the battle and to everyone's shock but mostly Fairy Tail's Laxus was on the end of a one sided beat down. But the most confused was a short muscle bound boy up in the Black Bulls section, as he saw past the illusion magic with his ki and there were multiple people about to fight against the one named Laxus. He was about to pull out his sword to dispel the illusion, only he was stopped by his Captain.
"Stop, you idiot, what do you think you're doing with that thing?" Captain Yami said, referring to the sword that Asta was about to pull out of his grimoire.
"But they're ganging up on him and that's against the rules and I was just going to dispel the illusion so everyone can see." He responded
Yami takes a puff of smoke before he speaks again. "I can see that but the guy down there seems to have everything under control. So until it looks like he's about to lose then I'll step in if you want, as I believe you wouldn't want to be disqualified before you have your chance to be part of the games." Still on watching the idiot to stop him until he nods in agreement.
Asta reluctantly agrees and turns back to the match to see the illusion breaking apart, revealing that what everyone was watching wasn't the real fight and that they missed Laxus not only to win but against the whole guild of Raven Tail which included their master as well, shocking everyone there.
"Laxus single handedly defeated the whole guild who used foul play. No matter how you look at it." Yelled an excited and confused Chapati. "But at any rate, the victor is Fairy Tail team B Laxus Dreyar!" As the whole crowd roared with him.
Rune knight rushed onto the field to collect the fallen guild members and put them under arrest.
"Due to this development, Raven Tail has been disqualified from the games." Chapati announced to the crowd before continuing on once more. "Well moving on from that discouraging announcement. We'll proceed to the fourth and final match of that day. From Fairy Tail team A, Wendy Marvell and from Lamia Scale Chelia Blendy!"
Both young girls ran down into the arena excited for their match waving to the crowd, only for both to trip on the smallest rocks out there.
"What an incredibly cute showdown this has become. Who are you rooting for!" Chapati yelled out.
OooooO
Fairy Tail team A: Wendy Marvell vs Lamia Scale: Chelia Blendy - same as canon
OooooO
"THE TIME HAS RUN OUT! IT'S A DRAW!" Yelled an overly excited Chapati "Each team will receive five points."
"Awesome!" Yelled Natsu.
"Well done Wendy." Spoke Lucy.
"Both of them were magnificent." Ezra said, nodding her head in approval. With Gray agreeing with her.
"Chelia and Wendy both did well." Lyon looks proud of both of them.
"Now that's how you surpass your limits." Yami said with a grin as he watched both girls help each other up, starting to become friends.
"This old man has decided that this match was the best of them all." Stated an overly happy Chapati "What a moving ending! For this old man, the games are over."
"Come on, it's only the end of day three." Rebuted Yajima.
"That's it, thank you everyone." Spoke Chapati ending today's events, as the scoreboard read.
