White Eclipse
Chapter 35

"Come on Luke kick his ass!" Waiston yells out. He waves his arms franctically as he was almost over the railing. Zalen was keeping him from falling as he gave an embarrassing look. "Oh Waiston...your hate for other ice mages is.."
"Begin-Kabo!" The host yells as he throws his hands down. Lyon smirks as he continues standing. "You're about to see the ability of an ice make Mage." As he boasted, a hoard of ice lances slam into Lyon as he lets out a groan of pain. He goes sliding on his rear in the ground until he comes to a stop. He looks up at Luke in shock as the copy cat Mage mocks Lyon's previous stance. "Like that?" Luke asked with a grin.
Lyon stood back up and dusted himself off. "So you've copied Gray's magic huh? I've read about your magic, I just didn't know you got to Gray so easily. Should of been expected from the lesser pupil of Ur though."
"I don't care who's the better pupil. I'm here to win this match." Luke interrupted.
"Fine then lets go." Lyon gets in position, slamming his fist over his palm. "Ice make: eagle!" A total of five birds made of ice begins flying toward Luke. Luke quickly cups his hands as an orb of fire from each hand grows and combines into one giant one. "Dazzling blaze, of the Fire Dragon!" He launches it right through the eagles and at Lyon, who rolls hard out the way just in time. "Dragneel too!?"
On the side, Natsu was seething as he looked on. His glare never left Luke.
"Natsu.." Lucy looked over at the upset dragon slayer but didn't say another word after.
"Ice make: Snow Tiger!" Lyon manifests a giant tiger out of ice. It charges and claws at Luke quickly, slashing Luke across he chest. Luke goes sliding back while wincing. The tiger gives chase but when it slams another paw down, Luke rolls to under the iced tiger. Sparks begin to cover his right fist. He then slams a roaring lightning infused punch to the underbelly of the tiger, shattering it to pieces. Everyone looks at Laxus as he does so. Laxus merely continues looking on with his arms crossed. Inside he was livid. Luke takes off toward Lyon with his fist reared back, he swing a right hook but Lyon sways hard to the right to dodge it, and the slams a kick to Luke's side. Luke hunches to the side, leaving an opening as Lyon hits the copy cat with two hooks, right and then left. Luke goes stumbling back. Lyon takes this chance for another opening. "Ice make: wolf!" Just then, a wolf's head was created around both of Lyon's fists. He smashes his right against Luke's jaw and the copy Mage goes sliding into the ground before kipping up. Lyon gives chase and now swings an uppercut, but Luke dodges by leaning away from it. The second he does, he summons a magic circle as sparks fly around him again. "Raging Bolt!" A large bolt of lightning comes down from the sky, shocking Lyon, causing a lot of damage. Since he was so close, Luke adds on to the combo with a hard right haymaker to Lyon's face. Lyon goes crashing towards the ground.
"This is annoying!" Natsu yelled out. "Get your own magic!"
Luke smirks as he looks back at Natsu. "But this is much more fun." He then turns to Laxus who was also glaring. "It doesn't matter what you say, I'm a copy cat and proud! Let me show you!" Luke turns to a injured Lyon who was making his way to his feet, in ice make position. "Ice make: Ape! Serpent! Snow tiger!" All three of the ice animals appear and stand beside Lyon.
"Heh... Thank Laxus for this one!" Luke places both hands in a peculiar position. His left hand was upside down, his right hand was normal as they were inches away from each other.
"WHAT!?" Makarov yelled out.
"You bastard!" Even Laxus roared from this.
"Don't do it Luke!" Lucy yelled.
"Do it Luke!" Reve yelled back.
Luke gave a near sadistic look towards Lyon, who was lost at what everyone was freaking out about, but still remained poised.
"I'm not giving you a three count though." Luke smirked as a golden light began to glow between his hands. "Attack him!" Lyon threw his hand forward as they all rushed Luke.
"Fairy...Law!"
"Stop!" Laxus yelled out, but it was too late. A giant golden magic circle appeared above the stadium as Luke fires. Everything went in a blinding light.
"No!" Natsu yells out as he was blinded just like everyone else.
"Lyon-Dono!" Jura yells, not being able to see his comrade.
As the light clears...nothing happened. Lyon was perfectly fine. He looked around in confusion, looking for any scratches or bruised from the attack, but nothing. Even his ice make beasts were still intact.
"What happened!?" Luke yells out the question, still seeing Lyon okay. He had no time to react as the Snow Tiger headbutts Luke into the wall. The tiger moves out the way as the Ape slams a right fist to the wall and Luke. "Gah!" The ape then tosses the copy mage into the air. The serpent makes it's way above Luke and slams him into the ground, causing a cloud of dust to go flying, covering Luke where he landed.
Makarov let out a hearty laugh as everyone but Laxus turns to him intrigued. "Fairy Law only works on your true enemies! You don't have any real issues with anyone here, so you basically just wasted nearly all of your magic for a light show!"
"He's done anyway." Lyon states as the host gets ready to raise his hand to call the match. Just then, Luke struggles up to his feet. "Not yet...that was my mistake. But I'm not gonna let it cost me..."
Lyon raised a brow as he looked on at Luke. "Fine, finish him off!"
The ice beasts charge Luke again, and after swaying a few times, Luke charges them as well. He runs right for Lyon. The snow tiger slams down a paw, but Luke dodges it by swaying to the right. As he ran past the snow tiger it gives chase as Luke comes up to the ape. The ape swings another hard fist, but at the last second, Luke baseball slides between it's legs, causing the ape to hit the snow tiger, shattering it's arm and the tiger completely. "What!?" Lyon looks on. "He thinks he can just run by my ice make!? I don't think so!" Lyon slams his fist into his palm again. "Ice make: Eagle!" He fires off about ten more iced eagles as they charge Luke right behind the serpent. Luke jumps over the serpent and ran down it's tail as he charged Lyon. His body began to erupt in flames as he did so. "Fire Dragon sword horn!" At the end of the serpent's tail he leaps forward aiming a flaming headbutt at Lyon. "Uh!" All in one slow motion, Lyon barely dodges by swaying to the right. "Heh..."
"Now!" Luke shouted as he was in mid air upside down; too close for Lyon to properly dodge this time. "Ice make: thunder cannon!"
"Huh?" Laxus looks on in confusion. Luke fires the cannon made of ice, and comes shooting a ball of ice wrapped in electric sparks. It slams into Lyon's gut and sends him flying until he tumbles into the ground not moving. Luke comes to a sliding stop due to recoil, now on one knee.
"Did he just combine magic!?" Romeo yelled from the stands.
"He's his own unison raid." Mirajane stated as all eyes were on Luke. "He can be real dangerous if he gets his hands on more magic.
"Lyon is unable to continue-Kabo!" The host yells.
"That means Luke wins it for White Eclipse B!" Chapati yells. "What a great battle!"
"We just can't get out the starting gate.." Jura says.
"Our final fight is at hand! It's Sabertooth's Orga Nangear! Vs. Fairy Tail B's Mirajane Strauss!"
"Go Mira!" Lisanna yells from the stands.
"Come on Orga! Help us out!" Rufus yells.
"Fighters ready!?
Begin!"
Mirajane's body begins to glow as she turns to her satan soul form. Orga stands ready as well. They both charge each other and engage in hand to hand combat. Mirajane gets the better of Orga after dodging and blocking most of his black lightning infused punches. She slams a couple of jabs into Orga's face, following a kick to the sternum and a hook to the jaw that sends Orga sliding. He comes to a stop as he winces and wipes his jaw.
"Mira is always strong." Cana says as she watches. "But...I never see her train."
"Think if she did." Laxus stated.
"I'm glad she doesn't. It's bad enough trying to stay up and ahead of Laxus and Erza. And they train." Gajeel nods at his own words.
"That all you got!" Orga yells as he raises his hand. Mirajane's eyes perk up as she knew what was coming next from watching him last year. She immediately takes off into the air, just barely dodging the lightning dome. She then swoops down and charges at Orga with a fist reared back, but Orga beats her to the punch as he lands a lightning infused hook to her right jaw. Mirajane tumbles in the air but quickly recovers as Orga cups his hands nearly together.
"Black lightning cannon!"
"Evil explosion!"
Mirajane charges and fires her attack as well. The two collide and create a cloud of smoke, except Mirajane's evil explosion pushes through and slams into Orga, causing the god slayer to slam into a wall and K.O'ed.
"That was quick even for Mirajane." Jack says as he lifts a bottle of wine to his mouth.
"Orga is unable to continue. Mirajane wins-Kabo!"
"Wow! A very short yet exciting fight as Mirajane picks up the win for Fairy tail B! That ends day two and the standings are as shown!" The rankings appear as Chapati calls them out. "To end the second day, in first is White Eclipse B with twenty nine points! Next is Fairy Tail team A with twenty six points! In third place is Quatro Cerberus with twenty four points! In fourth place after a great second day showing is Mermaid Heel with twenty points! Fairy Tail B is also tied in fourth with twenty points! In sixth is White Eclipse A with seventeen! Surprisingly, Sabertooth is in seventh with nine and Lamia Scale with three! Lets all get a good nights rest and day three will begin tomorrow afternoon!"

.
"We're in trouble." Cana stated as she swung a beer mug around. "Juvia is down. We don't have a suitable replacement." All of the background mages duck their head in disappointment from her blunt comment.
"Hey now!" Freed says as he steps up. If anyone needs to fill in it should be either me Bickslow or Evergreen. We can do it easily!" Cana waves a hand dismissively as she begins drinking. "Hold on Freed!" Max steps into view. "Me and my sand magic will take the spot."
"None of you will." Laxus walks in with his arms crossed.
"Laxus!? Then who will?" Freed asked.
Laxus points behind him." This guy.
Master Makarov walks in at that second as everyone looks on confused. "Master can't compete it's against the rules." Cana scoffed.
"Not me." Makarov replied. He then moves out the doorway as "Mystogan" walks through the door. "This guy!"
"Jellal!?" Erza exclaimed in confusion.
Jellal gives a slight wave to the stunned guild.
Erza was stuck between happy and shocked to see the Mage. "M-master this will never work. What about the council?"
"Lahar and Doranbolt left, not that they were on my case anyways." Jellal replied.
"Lets cut to it Jellal. Why are you here?" Erza looked at him intently, waiting to call him out on a lie.
"Erza... I won't lie to you. Something bad has happened, but I can't discuss it or bad things will happen to Meredy."
"Meredy?!" Erza's eyes widened.
"Yes but lets please leave it at that. I won't you all to win, so focus on the games. I can handle this problem alone. I just needed to get close to the games again."
"Alright then!" Makarov interrupted. "No more questions! Lets focus on these last three days and bring him the title again!"

Back at the White Eclipse inn. Everyone sat around enjoying the company. Until Kuro walks in.
"...And where were you?" Reve asked as he glared at Kuro.
"I was watching with friends."
"Dait right?" Waiston asked.
"Yeah.."
Calium makes his way to the front. "Why were you watching when you're on the team is the real question." The master of White Eclipse questioned.
"I already had my fight, and Takeru-San said he was gonna go next in the event so I thought why bother?" Kuro replied as he began walking past Calium. Calium palms Kuro's chest and pushes him into the chair behind him, breaking the chair and causing Kuro to hit the ground, stunned that Calium actually put his hands on Kuro. "W-what!?"
"Why bother!? You listen to me Kuro Crane. You're not above anyone so I don't get where you believe you are. You signed up for this, so you don't ditch your guild mates! I don't care if you're competing that day or not!"
"Master.." Kuro whimpered out.
"Don't Master me! Since you didn't want to be with the team today, don't be with them tomorrow either. Sit in the stands with the others instead.
Heather will stand in for you tomorrow. You can compete again on day four."
"But that's not fair!" Kuro cried out.
"Not fair? What's not fair is Luke and Skye competing in their fights, and their missing a guild mate to cheer them on. If only Mary could see what her brat has turned into right now.."
"Master!" Waiston shouts in surprise.
"Old man.." Sidney comments, even he felt like that was excessive.
Without another word, Kuro makes his way to his room, slamming the door behind him.

.
The third day was quickly underway. Eight mages lined up at starting line as they waited for instructions.
"Here we are folks! Today's competitors are! White Eclipse A's Reve Volver! Quatro Cerberus Blues!"
"Tch, Bacchus has still yet to compete." Erza says in an annoying tone.
"Fairy Tail A's Wendy Marvell! Lamia Scale's Jura Neekis! Fairy Tail B's Mystogan!"
"You mean Jellal-Dono." Jura says to Mystogan with a grin.
"Nothing gets by you Jura." Jellal replies.
"White Eclipse B's Jaxon Meteoro!"
Jaxon stand there, eyes closed and arms crossed, waiting.
"Mermaid Heel's Beth Vanderwood! And last but not least, Sabertooth's Rogue Cheney! Today's event!"
As he spoke, a giant rocky mountain manifests from the arena. "Hm?" Heather looks on as she stood with White Eclipse A, taking Skye's place from yesterday.
"It's Rocky Mountain race! The rules are simple! First one to the top wins!"
"Easy." Jellal thought to himself. "This is what my meteor was made for."
Reve and Jaxon exchange glances, smirk, and don't say another word.
"Jura has the advantage! He likes rocks OOOON!"
"Lets do this!" Wendy yelled out.
"It's another sunny day again here in Crocus! The weather has been very generous!" Chapati yells.
"A sunny day huh?" Jaxon smirks as he looks up to the sky. "We'll see about that."
The host walks to the middle and raises his hands.
"Ready-Kabo!"
"Go!"
The mages all take off in a sprint. All except Reve and Jaxon. They both stand there with their arms crossed, watching the other mages make it to the base of the mountain and begin scaling.
"Meteor!" Mystogan's body begins to glow a golden aura. He then takes off in a blur up the mountain, gaining a significant lead against the other mages.
"Not too fast Jellal-Dono." Lyon begins firing pillars of stone out of the mountain side, trying to hit Mystogan. One clips his leg. "Gah!" Mystogan goes tumbling into the ground as he holds on to the lead. He quickly makes his way to his feet, just to see a giant rock wall not only in his way, but was also crashing towards him. All he could do was move backwards to buy time and that's what he did as he reactivated meteor and began flying away from the rock wall as it came crashing down. Wendy continued running until she caught up to a running Beth Vanderwood. "Carrot missile!" Beth turns and fires multiple carrots at Wendy but she quickly ducks them as she continues her momentum ahead. "Sky Dragon's claw!" She swings at Beth, but she ducks as well. The two mages continue running side by side until they split up into two separate paths.
Rogue was running right in front of Blues. Blues simply smirks as he uses his water magic to create aqua jets in his feet. He goes flying by Rogue and even Jura for second place. He was steadily catching up to Jellal.
A lot of eyes were on Reve and Jaxon. Who still haven't moved. A lot of murmurs start to happen. Reve looks over at Jaxon and smirks. "Nice day today isn't it?"
Jaxon looks over at Reve. "Beautiful weather. But there's one thing about weather you should know Reve."

"And what's that Jaxon?"
A magic circle appears in the air over the mountain.

"It's always unpredictable."
