White Eclipse
Chapter 40

"A work of art. Good job Kuro." Sidney tugs on his scarf to show respect to the fire make mage; something he rarely did unless he showed true respect to a mage for his or her strength. "I set that up, and I'm still impressed." Sidney then turns a bit to Makarov and Mavis as they kept their eyes on the screen, looking for Gajeel and Lucy, the two mages that they saw caught in the blast. "I'm sure once the smoke clears they'll reward us our points."
Makarov and Mavis both chuckle, and then begin laughing out loud. Once again, looks of confusion dawn upon them.
"Okay, and what is it now?" Sidney asked, a bit annoyed. Mavis comes to a low giggle as she begins to speak. "I have to admit Sidney, you're quite the strategic expert. This was an original strategy, using your guild mates magic together perfectly to take out the competition, or lack their of in your case. But theirs one thing that you forgot to add into your formula Sidney."
The Ghost Mage raises a brow. "And that is...?"
"The will of the mages." Makarov chimed in. As he spoke, he pointed to the screen, showing Bacchus struggling to his feet, but well aware and conscious. He coughed a bit, and winced from the bruising and pain he just went through, and his armor was broken into pieces all the way up to his biceps, but nonetheless, he rose. GoldMine smirks as he chimed in. "Take notes on this lesson kid. You can never count out the will of a mage." Calium can't help but smile, even with Sidney showing clear agitation. Sidney looked back at board, seeing that only one point was recorded so far for White Eclipse A.
"Well, I know we got Gajeel and Kagura. We all watched them become consumed by the explosion indefinitely." As Sidney ended his statement his eyes narrowed as he gripped the railing, nearly breaking off a chunk from his grip. The lacrima screen was now fixated on Gajeel and Kagura's area, and slowly rising from the smoke was Gajeel, covered completely in his iron scales. He made his way up to his feet as he swayed a bit. "D-darn! That was close." Gajeel panted as he held his chest from the combining pain of Kagura's sword and the recent explosion. Across from him, Kagura stabbed her sheathed sword into the ground, using it as leverage to pull herself up. She too huffed out in pain and exhaustion. Putting her sword back on her hip, she hunched over, hands on her knees as she tried to catch her breath.
"There's no way..." Sidney looked on, baffled at the fact that they were okay. "Gajeel and Kagura are lost points." Calium said. "Bacchus is still up for grabs. But Gajeel and Kagura will finish each other off."
GoldMine simply chuckles at the Bacchus comment.
"If you think that's bad..." Makarov says as he smiles from ear to ear. He doesn't say anything else as the entire guild gives a smug look over to White Eclipse, including Mavis.
"What are you all smiling at? Your celestial mage doesn't have defense like that. There's no way she could of survived."
"You're right Sidney." Levy replied. "Lucy doesn't have such endurance to survive an explosion of sorts."
"But what she does have.." Macao adds. An inhaling sound is heard from where Lucy was. The inhaling went on for seconds on in. All of what was left of the explosion was slowing converging to the one spot where Lucy and the figure stood. As the area cleared, Lucy was unharmed, still on the ground shielding herself, until she looked up to see his scarf waving in the wind. He finishes inhaling the fiery explosion and wipes his chin. "Man...I'm stuffed."
Natsu turns and gives Lucy a thumbs up, and then holds his hand out to help her up.
"Natsu..." Lucy, at first shocked, smiles as she reaches for his hand and pulls herself up.
"He's always saving me." She thought to herself as she dusted herself off.
"Bullshit.." Sidney's grip on the railing tightened, breaking off the chunk he was holding onto.
Makarov let out another boisterous laugh. "So, that great unison raid, and you received one point from it."
A small smile creeps onto Calium's face, catching Makarov's attention.
"That's fine. It's just like I told you when you were coming up with this Sidney."
"Every plan needs a backup plan. And a plan behind that." Sidney recites these words from memory as he loosens the clenching of his fist.
Makarov stops the taunting to turn back go the screens, folding his arms to watch everything play out.
"This is going to come down to the first one to land a strike." Kagura thought to herself. "Our strategy was risky, and we're now paying for it, but I can make up for it. I just need to strike first. I have to. I will." "Here I come Gajeel!" She yells out as she rushes towards him, wincing with every step stride she finished, her body was at the limit, yet so was Gajeel as he swayed back and forth to keep balance. "Iron Dragon...Hard fist!" In the midst of Kagura's swing of the blade, Gajeel fires his steel coated fist with what he had left, meeting the blade halfway. A small shockwave occurs from the stalemate, but a second later, Gajeel lets out a roar as he pushes through, breaking Kagura's blade in half and then slamming into her stomach. The force of the blow immediately sends Kagura tumbling backwards into the ground. The mini lacrima screen hovers over to her, and after a few seconds, Fairy Tail B gains another point. Kagura was passed out.
"Hm? Only one point? That's not right is it?" Gajeel looked up at the screen, waiting for the other four points to show, but they never did. "So...if Kagura isn't the captain..."
"Then Risley or Beth is." Calium states. "Witty strategy by Mermaid Heel. They knew if they wanted points they were going to have to let Kagura loose, so just in case she went down, they gave the captain slot to someone who probably wouldn't be looked for. It's too bad their offense went down so early, but that was due to Gajeel's stamina, they had Redfox right where they wanted him. Truth be told, they could of been a real problem if it wasn't for the Fairy." Calium grins a bit. "Preaching to us about the will of mages. As if we aren't familiar with the attribute. Keep underestimating us Makarov, Mavis."

(Quick Flashback)
"Okay!? You got the plan right!?" Sting exclaims as he continues running with Rogue.
Rogue nods as he runs beside his best friend, looking straight ahead. "Their plan is flawed. That Reve guy is firing from everywhere, but I'm almost positive that he hasn't left from where he fired the flare gun. I'll take him out before he realizes I'm there."
Sting grins widely at Rogue. "Right! And in the meantime, I'll pick off who I can so we can make this comeback."
Rogue nods again as he gives Sting a relaxed look, the closest thing that he was gonna get to a smile from the shadow dragon slayer. "See you later, Sting."
At the intersection, they both take opposite turns, Rogue goes into his shadow mode, flowing under the poison while Sting takes the clear path.
(End Flashback)

"People are missing." Said Reve as his eyes shifted around. His target eyes allowed him to take on the vision of each sniper scope in the air anytime he pleased. His eyes were constantly shifting, moving from scope to scope to keep tabs on everyone. The only downfall to his target eyes; Reve couldn't see out of his own eyes normally while they were activated. "Tch...Erza and Fullbuster and those two Cerberus boys, The other fairies just now about to find some action. Oh! There's goes Mirajane, about to run into Bacchus, that's not good for our point difference if she wins..." Reve continues to look through his target eyes, unaware that Rogue was just feet across from him. "Just what I thought, he's blind." Rogue creeped up from out of his shadow. "One shot. I'll take him out. It's without a doubt that he's the captain."
"Looks like your S class mage is too busy looking at everyone else that Rogue is about to finish him off." Makarov says with a grin on his face.
"And I thought I was the kid here." Sidney says with a cocky attitude.
"Roar.. Of the Shadow Dragon!" Reve's ears perk up, but he couldn't he didn't switch off his target eyes. All he did was sneer as the giant funnel of shadows came hurling towards him. As the dust clears, a black dome of dark vectors spun around Reve, acting as a barrier. "What happened?" Rogue looked on dumbfounded, leaving him wide open as four more vectors shoot out from a black magic circle from his left, slamming him into the wall of a building upon impact. As Rogue groans in pain, he struggles but makes his way up to his feet. Looking around for where the attack came from, he didn't have to look for long as Tayakata floated down on top of one of her dark vectors with her arms folded, glaring, yet smirking at Rogue.
"Cut it kind of close there Taya." Reve grinned, still blind to what was in front of him.
"You're unharmed cowboy, that's all that matters." Taya then turns back to Rogue. "As if we didn't take note of someone coming to where the flare was fired. Are you all that predictable?"
Rogue growls a bit as he makes his way out the rubble, straightening up as he gets ready to fight Taya. Taya hops off her dark vector as she keeps her eyes on Rogue. "Well, Rogue?" She taunted. "This is your chance. Both captains, standing right here in front of you. Reve is wide open, if you can get past the barrier. Most of my magic is on that barrier. All you gotta do is beat me first Rogue. You should be able to that easily, with most of my magic concentrated on the gunslinger." Taya slid into a fighting stance, still taunting Rogue with a hand wave, motioning him to come at her. "Feeling good enough Rogue?"
"You're not gonna get to me." Rogue crouches a bit, and then takes off at Taya, charging full speed.

Laxus slowly walked with his arms folded. He looked around from building to building as he continued walking the streets, until, from yards away, Sting comes walking around the corner, immediately spotting Laxus on the turn. They both stop walking. "Sting."
"Laxus." Sting begins to slowly grin. "Lets cut the secrecy before anything happens. We're both captains right?"
Laxus nods. "Seems like we both are."
"A man of few words as always." Sting begins to ready himself for an attack. "Once I beat you, I'll be able to take out every remaining mage. Then put Sabertooth back on top! If I can hang with Natsu, I can certainly beat you."
Laxus' eyes flash open from his comment. Keeping his normal, emotionless expression however, sparks begin fly around Laxus as he stares Sting down. "You have a lot of confidence. I'm sure you've been training relentlessly just to fight Natsu, but here's the thing. Natsu Dragneel has amazing instincts, and mine are no slouch either. But when it comes to pure strength, I'm leagues ahead of the kid. So I hope for your sake you're better than me in every other aspect, because if not, you're in a lot of trouble Sting." The sparks surging around Laxus begin to grow, causing Sting to take a step back. "Uh..! No matter! This will be a good test!"
Sting quickly charges Laxus with his right fist reared back. He quickly throws his now white infused right fist towards Laxus, yet with arms still folded, Laxus sways away from the blow. Sting slides a bit, and turns right into a headbutt from Laxus. Sparks of lightning fly from contact. Sting goes sliding back a great deal before he finally comes to a stop, holding his for head in pain. "Gah! That's smarts! He definitely wasn't kidding."
"Oi!" Laxus calls out to the White Dragon slayer. "You're wasting my time in that form. Go ahead and enter your white drive or whatever."
Laxus' statement peeves Sting a good deal and he charges again. "I'll use it when I need it!" Sting lunges forward and throws a high kick to Laxus's head. A kick that was easily blocked by his massive forearm. Laxus quickly grabs his foot and slings him into the nearest building behind him, causing Sting to crash through the wall. Laxus then extends his arm, following his toss with a stream of lightning that causes a mini explosion in the area where Sting was thrown. After a few seconds, Sting struggles to his feet, pushing the rubble out of the way. He was quickly bruised and now panting heavily. "Like I said Sting,
You're wasting my time. And now you're wasting your health and chances of any comeback."
"Fine...if you want to lose so bad...!" Sting's aura begins to glow white as his hair starts flowing upward. "White drive. Don't forget. You asked for this." Sting charges in so fast, that Laxus barely has time to raise his arms to block, which was ineffective anyways as Sting's left fist slides right by his defenses, slamming into Laxus' jaw. The blow itself sends Laxus flying backwards and into the building wall. "...Heh. Told ya." Sting gloated as he held his follow through from his punch to Laxus. The very next second however, a big bolt of lightning comes flying out of the smoke and around Sting, getting behind him. The bolt reforms back to Laxus with his right fist clenched. He swings a heavy hook aimed at Sting's jaw. Sting meets him with an opposing punch, the two fists colliding to cause a heavy shockwave, bringing up a good bit of the ground with them. Both mages then had the same idea as they fires a quick roar at each other. The light and lightning slam into each other at such a close range, causing a decent sized cloud of smoke. Out of the smoke, Sting goes sliding back off his feet from the sheer force of Laxus' roar. He tumbles once until he comes to a sliding stop on one knee. "...He wasn't kidding. Laxus is strong. But I can beat him with my overall skill, I just need to watch out for his attacks. You can do this Sting.."

.
Bacchus continued walking down the street, holding his ribs as he did so. He turns a corner as he pants a bit, still trying to shake off from the explosion. "Oi...that wasn't wild at all! What happened to straight up fighting! All these young souls want to plan and plot against a veteran."
Bacchus turns a corner once more and upon the turn, he locks eyes with the innocent looking Mirajane Strauss. She blinks at him and then smiles. "Bacchus. You look pretty beat up. Did you get caught in the earlier explosion?"
He winces just from hearing her refer to the explosion. "Yeah.. So what? You gonna finish me off now?"
Mirajane frowns a bit, keeping her fingers interlocked in front of her. "Unfortunately. I don't mean to take advantage of your current state, but it's for Fairy Tail so.. I'm sure you can forgive me."
Bacchus chuckles a bit. "I won't hold it against you Mirajane. I'll look at it as karma from my bet last year; but you should know." Bacchus straightens up as he stretches his arms out a bit. He then quickly chugs his gourd after taking it off his hip. "It wouldn't be wild of me to go down without a fight."
Mirajane simply smiled as she began her take over. She turns to her usual transformation, the Satan Soul, and now stands across from a drunk and readied Bacchus. "I respect your decision to defend yourself." Mirajane speaks, her face now emotionless.
"This is new to me. This will be our first time. Lets make it worth the fight!"
They both lunge towards each other simultaneously, Mirajane with her fist infused with dark magic as Bacchus does the same with his palm magic glowing discreetly.

.

Erza and Gray both go sliding back, slightly bruised from the fight with Kuro and Blues. They two also stood slightly damaged. Yet out of the four, it seemed that Blues and Kuro were in control.
"They seem like much more than teammates." Gray stated.
"I'm sure they are." Erza added. "A water god and dragon slayer... I'm sure they're more than guild mates."
"You two gonna talk, or can we wrap this up?" Kuro gestured as a magic circle appeared in front of him.
"Blue Drive."
"Third generation!?" Gray watched in awe as Blues begins to gain a blue aura. His hair begins to waver upwards as he smirks at the ice make Mage. "Ready Kuro?"
"Yeah.. Water God's Typhoon.."
"Roar! Of the Aquatic Dragon!"
From Kuro's magic circle, a giant funnel of black water comes firing out and towards the Fairy Tail duo. Halfway there it combines with the roar Blues fired, now speeding towards them in a unison raid. With nowhere to go, the attack slams into both Gray and Erza, throwing them backwards and causing them to hit the ground hard and go sliding hard into the stone street. Gray begins holding his sides, still feeling the effects of Adamantine. "Gray.." Erza panted out. "Hang on, I'll take them both..."
Blues lets out a laugh as Erza slowly rises to her feet. "We're about to put Quatro Cerberus on top! One more time eh Kuro!?"
"Yeah..sure." They repeat their process as Blues fires his funnel of water, mixing it with Kuro's attack. Off guard from still trying to stand, Erza was wide open.
Until out of nowhere, a funnel of wind, and a surge of lightning combine and slam into the unison raid, holding it in stalemate. Though the two attacks were tied in strength, the lightning connected with the water and traveled towards Blues and Kuro, too fast for them to react. The shock caused enough damage for them to drop their guard, allowing the funnel of wind magic to slam into them both, causing the Dragon/God slayer to slam into the building wall behind them.
"Huh!?" Gray and Erza both look up at the building roof top behind then. Jumping down, was Cana with her cards in her hands. "It wasn't looking good for you two." She said with a smirk. "Thought I could help you out. We have bigger mages to deal with anyways."
"Just finish them off huh?" Gray said with an annoyed tone of Cana's implication of her saving them.
"No problem!" Cana throws off her jacket, revealing the Fairy Glitter symbol. "No running this time Blues! You bastard!" Kuro and Blues were struggling to their feet as Cana's arm began to glow. She lifted it in the air, but as she did so, a magic circle quickly appears under her as a multitude of vines wrap around her body and her arm, constricting her. "What the!?"
"Not on my watch, WILD!" Yaegar appears around the corner, standing in front of Blues and Kuro who were still hurting from the last attack. "Alright guys, get up!"
"Shit..Cana!" Gray makes his way to his feet completely with Erza.
"Well!? Don't stand there! Get these vines off of me before things get bad!"
On command, Erza flips towards Cana. Yaegar fires off another assortment of vines to try to stop her path. "Ice make: Lance!" Gray counteracts the vines with his own number of ice lances. He then runs towards Yaegar and slams a right hook into his jaw, sending him sliding back a good bit; leaving him dazed. "Now!" Erza rears her sword over her head and swings down, slicing the vines right off of Cana. "Cana go!"
With a smirk, the card mage looked right at Blues as she aimed her arm. "Shit! No!"
"Too late this time kid! Fairy Glitter!"
A circle of magic appears around the three Quatro Cerberus mages, and everything goes to a blinding explosion. When it clears, the three mages were passed out, giving Fairy Tail team B the three points instead of team A. Gray falls back to his rear as he exhales. "Just a bad matchup is all.."
"Heh, they were a great team." Erza added. "Lets just rest a second before we move on."
"It's a good thing I was around, or we would of lost you two." Cana grins again as she picks her jacket back up.
"Yeah yeah, lets just hope the others are fine as well."

.
"Risley how long do we have to sit here!?" Beth asked as she sat against the wall in a back alley.
"Until Kagura and the others finish the other mages off." Risley replied.
"What if they don't?"
Risley looked at Beth with a raised brow. "Are you underestimating Mermaid Heel's best mage?"
Beth shakes her head vigorously. "N-no! I'm just nervous, and a bit scared, why do I have to be captain for this!?"
Risley laughed a bit as she patted her on the head. "Relax, you know the plan. And no one can beat Kagura anyways." In the next second, iron Gajeel bursts through the wall, giving a sadistic, evil like smile and stare at both mages. Risley steps in front of Beth but before any punches were thrown, Gajeel throws down Kagura's broken sword in front of them, causing them to choke up with wide eyes. "Alright give up and no one gets hurt." Gajeel said as he waited for a response, turning his arm into a sword.
"If you think we're gonna-"
"I GIVE UP!" Beth shouts out, cutting Risley off in mid sentence.
"B-Beth!?" Risley looks back at the plant mage in shock, then turns back to Gajeel who was towering over her with his sword now spinning. "...I give too."
Gajeel looks up at the board as six more points were added. "Gihehehe! Those assholes can't say I didn't do anything to help! I took out Mermaid Heel alone. Those are my points!" Gajeel began marching with pride as he walked away from the disqualified Beth and Risley.

.
"Alright Gajeel!" Levy and the other Fairy Tail members shouted from the stands, while Sidney and the others stayed quiet. "Our B team is up two against their A team. And Laxus has a chance to take out Sting. That's five more points!"
"Don't count your points before they happen." Selene says out loud to the bookworm of Fairy Tail. "Things happen. Just watch."

.
Takeru and Jack stood in front Lyon and Chelia. The four engaged in a stand off, their demeanors completely opposite. Tak and Jack stood with a relaxed expression while Chelia and Lyon had looks of concern of how to survive. Lyon attacks first. "Ice Make: Eagle!" Lyon fires off about five iced eagles that headed for the mages. Takeru doesn't move as Jack brings up a magic circle and then a wall of earth, causing the eagles to slam into the wall harmlessly; shattering into pieces. Takeru quickly sprints around the wall and into melee range against Lyon, who swung a left hook, and then a high kick aimed at his skull. Takeru blocks both with his forearms and grins as he infused his fist with shadows. He then feigns a punch at Lyon as he turns in a one hundred and eighty degree spin and fires a stream of shadow magic directly towards Chelia, slamming it into her abdomen and causing her to go tumbling into the ground.
"Chelia!" Lyon lunges for Takeru once again; exactly what Jack wanted as he conjures a magic circle under Lyon. A pillar of earth goes firing into the air with Lyon on top. "What was the use of-" before Lyon could finish his sentence, a small beam of magic slams into his back shoulder, piercing right through as he immediately blacked out from the pain, giving White Eclipse A one more point. Back on the ground, Jack and Takeru surrounded Chelia. "I...I give." The pink haired mage dropped her head in shame.
"Right decision. I was going to maul you with no remorse." Takeru says as he and Jack begin walking away. Jack bursts out in laughter. "Now now Tak! Save the mauling for the fairies! Lets go catch up with the others."

.
Rogue panted heavily. Taya however, stood untouched and unphased. He looked her over as he tried to regain himself. "If I can't survive this.. I have to at least help Sting. I only have one shot at this, but I can make it count." Rogue takes off towards Taya. "Oi? Again? You're not gonna last long Rogue." As she finished talking, she sent two more dark vectors rushing towards Rogue. He ducks the first one, but the second one clips his shoulder. Still, he continues to run towards her. "Shadow Drive!" Rogue's black aura comes over him, enhancing his speed and strength as he rears an arm back. He then fires off a beam of shadow magic towards Taya. The beam came in so fast that she barely had time to react as she puts up a wall of Dark Vectors. "Tch.. Nice try but...hey!" Taya turns to see Rogue running right for Reve. "Reve!"
"Hm?"
It was too late. Rogue made his way around the barrier due to his shadows. He then rears his arm back as if coats with shadows. "Shadow Dragon's slash!" With everything he has, Rogue slams his fist into the gut of Reve Volver, causing him to fold over in agony. "Reve! Shit!"
"Aha!" Macao yelled out. "That ruins everything!"
Reve coughed up a heavy spool of blood from the blood, hunched over Rogue's arm after the blow. "...Bang."
"Huh?" Before Rogue knew it, another piercing magic beam slams into the shadow dragon slayer, into the back of his head. Rogue falls to the ground unconscious; some accusing him to be lifeless.
"Holy... Reve you could of killed him..." Taya says, looking at Rogue with a bit if concern to see if he's breathing. She noticed his chest moving slightly. "Well if you would of done your one damn job, that wouldn't have been necessary." Taya stays quiet, knowing that she nearly screwed up. "Now, I'm pissed. So here we go." Reve straightens up after the point board changes again. He locks on to both Bacchus and Sting.

Sting rushes Laxus and slams a right hook into his jaw. Laxus holds his ground however, and head butts Sting to the ground. He looked to follow with a stomp to his head, but Sting rolls out of the way. He goes for a leg sweep but Laxus hops over it and fires a quick lightning dragon roar. Sting covers up from the blow, but the damage was done. On his last leg, Sting was lifted up by Laxus by his collar. Laxus smirks a bit as he begins to speak. "Don't feel bad about giving up Sting. You did last year with great reason. This time, there's still ten of us."
Sting looks up at the board, seeing the names of everyone remaining. He, Bacchus, and Yukino. The rest were White Eclipse and Fairy Tail. "I...I giv-"
Slam! Another piercing bullet launches into Sting's side, throwing him right out if Laxus' grip. Caught off guard, Laxus was in shock, looking at the unconscious Sting. He then looks up at the board. He clenches his fist as lightning sparks around him. He couldn't do anything but watch as White Eclipse A gains five points.
"What!?" Makarov yells out in a rage. "That's unfair! He stole that one!"
"And he's not done either." Sidney added.

.
Mirajane and Bacchus continued to exchange blows. Mirajane was gaining the slight advantage due to Bacchus already injured from the earlier attack on him. He slammed a couple palms into the body of Mirajane, causing her to slide backwards, but as she did, she cupped her hands as dark magic gathered between her hands. "Evil Explosion!" She fires off her attack, and with nowhere to go, Bacchus covers his arms in an X formation, yet the moment the Evil explosion impacts, Bacchus' eyes widen in pain. He falls to the ground with white eyes. Though she won, Mirajane was more than surprised on now Bacchus wasn't pushed back by the force of her attack.
"Oh my... It seems we have a predicament here." Chapati says as the lacrima screen shows what happened. As the screen replays what happened, in the back of Bacchus, one more of Reve's bullets was driving into his spine, at the exact same time the Evil Explosion connected.
"This is too close to call-Kabo! So we only have one solution." The pumpkin headed host appears on the screen. "Both attacks seemed to have hit at the same time. So.. Both teams receive the points."
"This is an outrage!" Makarov slams an enlarged fist against the railing, breaking it.
"Master calm down!" Lisanna exclaims as she places her hand on his shoulder. "How can I calm down! We should of won by now! But that damned gunslinger is stealing our points!"
Calium laughs as Sidney stands there with a smirk under his scarf. The rest of White Eclipse look at Fairy Tail with smug faces. Fairy Tail glares back at the opposing guild, a growling out in unison. "White Eclipse...!"
The Eclipse mages continue their smug looks as they all yell out. "Or Second Place!"

Yukino looks up at the screen. "This is insane. But more importantly, this is too much for me to do alone." She then begins to raise her voice. "So I forfeit! Do you hear me! I Yukino of Sabertooth forfeit this event! This was their rivalry from the beginning. I'm not taking out twenty mages alone, especially if Sting and Rogue are down. So I forfeit, neutrally. Let the score be tied as they fight it out."
"Very well-Kabo." And with that, everyone but White Eclipse and Fairy Tail were eliminated.
"Here we go..." Luke smirked as he and Heather stood together.
"You ready, Lucy?" Natsu turns to Lucy as he smiles. She's smiles back. "Hai. Lets show them who's the best guild in Fiore!"
"Since there's really only two teams left, we'll combine your scores into one. The score is eighty nine to eighty nine-Kabo! May the best team win!"
"Juvia didn't even get to warmup!" Juvia bites her shirt, pulling on it as she tried to mentally prepare herself for the fights coming up. Wendy, who was beside her merely face palmed and smiled. "Don't worry Juvia, you'll be fine!
"Don't feel bad." Waiston says as he and Jaxon walk around the corner, now standing across from the two fairies. They smirked as Waiston kept his hands in his jacket pockets. "Neither did we."

.
"Here we go!" Ruika yelled. "Kill the blonde chick though! Take her keys!"
"This is about to get rough. Or atleast as rough as these third rate guilds can get." Rugal smirks as he continues watching. Arc couldn't help but grin as he looked on. "I hope someone takes it too far. This is the rivalry to do it so it seems."
"I just need White Eclipse to win." Tobias states. "Which they will, Kuro is all they need."
Daityas stayed quiet, eyeing the screen as Kuro popped up.
"You're gonna kill him aren't you?" Maggie asked Daityas.
"I'm gonna kill them all. That's a given." Daityas responded in an emotionless tone.
"You know she meant personally Daityas." Kiora added. "We know how you don't like rejection."
"Oh. Yeah. I'll kill him."
"Do you plan on.."
Daityas scoffed. " I'm not wasting the vase on Kuro. Once he's dead he's staying there. It wasn't that important. Just wanted a lacky who could use fire magic. It was a want not a need. Now, lets watch how this plays out."

.
"This is it folks! It's time!" Chapati was on the edge of his seat. "It's White Eclipse vs Fairy Tail! Who's gonna win this one!"
"Hopefully White Eclipse." Siegrain thinks to himself.
Laxus meets up with Erza, Cana and Gray. They all four stand and wait. A minute later, Reve, Taya, Nami and Kuro stand at the other end of the street. Not a single word was said as the eight mages squared off.

.
Mystogan, who had been laying low, begins walking as well. He quickly meets up with Mirajane, who was waiting for him at the streets end. They both exchange nods.
"Aye.." From behind Mystogan, Jack and Takeru arrive. "The time is now Fairies."
Mystogan merely nods as Mirajane, who was already in her Satan soul form, readies herself.

.
"This is it." Calium and Makarov say in unison.

"There can only be one."

"Lets go!"
