SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 80 out, this is Chapter 81 of this fic. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review, instead of just putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?

Disclaimers: I own nothing, except for the plot bunny and my OCs.

Chapter 81: New Guild

"Alright, in just a moment, the curtain will rise on the Grand Magic Games." Chapati announced in the announcer's booth. "I'm your emcee, Chapati Rola, and next to me is former Council member, Yajima, who will provide the commentary. And I'd like to introduce our guest for day one, the current Miss Fiore, Blue Pegasus' Jenny Rearlight. Okay, the players are about to take the field. Starting with the eight-ranked team." He declared, Fairy Tail Team A entered the arena. "Can they recapture their past glory? The group whose name clashes with their rowdiness. Fairy Tail! Fairy Tail has come in last place every year, but they survived the elimination round, though even in that, they were eighth place. Will the Tenrou bunch that created a sensation with their homecoming now become Fiore's number one?"

"Let's start cheering them on!" Makarov led the Guild in the cheerleading section.

"What the heck is that?" Natsu gaped.

"I don't believe it." Lucy was stunned.

"How…" Erza was wide-eyed.

"Master Mavis!" Makarov choked.

"I've come to show my support." Mavis smiled. "It's fine. Only those bearing the Guild's insignia can see me. After all, I've got nothing to do being cooped up on Tenroujima all the time."

"It's encouraging having the first master here to watch us." Natsu chuckled.

"Even though she's a ghost…" Gray sighed.

"Alright, let's move on with the team that finished seventh." Chapati continued. "The hounds of hell, Quatro Cerberus! In sixth place, the all-female Guild, the dancing girls of the great deep, Mermaid Heel! In fifth place are the bright blue wings in pitch black, Blue Pegasus! Continuing with fourth place! The goddess of love and war, the holy destroyer, Lamia Scale!"

"Who the hell is she?" Natsu wondered, Chelia tripping over her feet.

"What happened to her usual 'love'?" Gray asked.

"Chelia, don't get flustered." Litana chided.

"Sorry, Litana." Chelia smiled.

"Chelia is Sherry's cousin." Litana explained.

"I guess the cousin's all about love, too, huh?" Gray joked.

"Gray, don't forget that promise." Lyon reminded. "If we win, Juvia joins our Guild."

"I don't remember agreeing to that." Gray smirked. "But we ain't losing to you people."

"Next up, finishing third in the elimination round," Chapati continued. "Oh my!" he gushed, a shower of raven feathers descending from the sky. "This comes as a surprise! This first appearance of a Guild, and in third place. The midnight mobile force, Raven Tail! According to the official record, Raven Tail has been around for more the seven years, but they've only recently been recognized as a legitimate Guild. Alright, there are still two more teams that made it through the elimination round. The second-place finisher… oh, this is a shocker! Will they become the soaring key with tattered wings? The unbelievable, improbable… Fairy Tail B Team!"

"Nee-chan!" Elfman was shocked.

"Gajeel?" Natsu echoed.

"Even Ulyo?" Gray gasped.

"Gimme a break!" Natsu snapped. "We may be in the same Guild, but I go all out in a showdown and show no mercy! You guys are competing as another team, so you're the enemy. I ain't losing to you bastards!"

"You took the words right out of my mouth," Gajeel retorted. "Eighth place team member."

"Enough!" Ulyo broke the fight, her 'Ensui' blade in between the two dragon Slayers. "Can you two antagonize each other during the battle?"

"Let's do our best, right, Elfman?" Mira beamed.

"Taichou, Litana." Ulyo greeted the two Elder Senshi approaching her.

"Ulyo." Ditea nodded.

"Well, we never expected to reunite with you under such circumstances." Litana admitted. "You have lots of catching up to do, Ulyo. All of us overcame the 'Eternal' limit level of our transformations."

"You'll see…" Ulyo gave the two women a mysterious smile.

"Alright, we've just got one more team to announce." Chapati continued. "That's right, you know who it is." He added, amidst the cheers. "They're the strongest, invincible, indisputable champions! Sabertooth! And now, all the teams are here. Okay, everyone, you've waited long enough. I'm going to announce the program of the Grand Magic Games. Starting with the competition, points are already been divided among the teams, according to their ranking in the elimination round, from first to eighth. Now for the competition part, each team can select one of their members to take part. And for the battle part, the results of the fan votes will be taken into consideration when the sponsors make the pairings. The rules for the battle part are simple. As you see, the teams face off against each other, with the winning teams receiving ten points and the losing team getting zero points. In the case of a tie, both teams will receive five points. And now, the Grand Magic Games' opening game, let's begin 'Hidden! One person from each team will compete. I'll explain the rules of the game after all the players are on the field. The first person to step up is Quatro Cerberus' Yeager! From Mermaid Heel, Beth Vanderwood! From Raven Tail, Nalpudding! Eve has been called out! From Blue Pegasus, Eve Tilm! All eyes are on Sabertooth, and they go with the minstrel who sings to the red moon, Rufus is here! From Lamia Scale, Lyon Vastia! From Fairy Tail A Team, Gray Fullbuster! From Fairy Tail B Team, Ulyo Fuyu! All the participating players from the eight teams are set. And now, for the rules of the opening game, 'Hidden'!"
