Kanji's POV
"What were we thinking." I grumbled.
"Come on Gajeel!" Juvia yelled.
Gajeel was with Natsu and Sting at the back of the race track, trying not to throw up. I watched as Bacchus smashed the entire line of carts with one stomp.
"Holy crap!" I yelled "He's so much stronger."
Bacchus sprinted to the end of the course and took first place. Everyone else made it to the finish except for the three Dragon Slayers.
"All Dragon Slayer are bad with transportation?" Mira wondered "Does that mean you two…"
"What do you think those headaches I always get are from…?" I told her.
"Not a word." Laxus grumbled.
Juvia just laughed at us. Natsu and Gajeel kept pushing forward leaving sting in their dust. He said that they could have the win, that one or two points wouldn't matter.
"Don't get cocky you idiot! A point's a point!" I heard Diana yell.
"Why did you enter the games?" Sting asked them "Is it for the recognition, cause the Fairy Tail I know went at its own pace, it didn't care what people thought."
"It's for our friends." Natsu told him crawling forward "They waited seven years for us to come back…they protected the guild and even after being ridiculed and laughed at they refused to give up. That's why we'll show you. I'LL SHOW YOU WE KEEP MOVING FORWARD!"
"Well said stupid." I mumbled.
Natsu grabbed 6th place and Gajeel 7th earning our teams some points.
After that the battles started. Raven Tail went up against Lamia Scale. Toby did fine but was defeated by the Mimic Magic that Blacksnake used. They then proceeded to embarrass the dog man in front of the crowd.
"Scumbags!" I yelled.
"Watch it!" Laxus yelled "Your sister is one of them."
"She's laughing at him too!" I spat back.
"Knock it off!" Mira said slapping us.
"Time for the second match of the day!" The announcer said "First up from Quatro Cerberus it's Bacchus!"
The drunk sauntered out to the field.
"I pity the poor guy who has to fight him." I shrugged.
"And his opponent from Fairy Tail A…"
"Whoever it is better kick his ass!" Cana yelled standing in our team's box "And get my top back!"
"Elfman Strauss!"
"Elfman?" Mira said surprised.
"Oh boy." I mumbled "This should be hard."
Elfman's huge form stepped out onto the field.
"What's say we make a bet like those last two guys." Bacchus slurred.
Elfman just raised an eyebrow.
"Your sisters are easy on the eyes. If I win you lend them to me for the night…at the same time."
"You scumbag!" I yelled
Elfman clenched his fist "As a man there are some things I can't forgive…I'll rip you apart!"
"Kick his ass Elfman!" Cana cheered.
The fight started and Bacchus wasted no time laying into Elfman with his unique fighting style, magically charged palm strikes. This fight was one sided early, it was a slaughter.
"Come on man…" Laxus mumbled "Get up and fight!"
"WereTiger!" Elfman shifted into a beat soul.
"A speed type beast." Mira said.
"Maybe now he can land a hit." Juvia said.
"No…" I told them "Bacchus is still too fast. His movements are too swift."
"Have some faith." Gajeel mumbled.
"I do. Bacchus magic is powerful. He focuses everything into his palm and fight with martial arts. He further increases he capabilities by becoming drunk and making his movements totally unpredictable. Even I can't beat him; we fought to a draw each time. But that's not Elfman's biggest problem…Bacchus is still sober."
"So he's not even fighting seriously?" Laxus asked.
"To him this is a warm up. Elfman needs to step it up now or he won't win."
One last chop and Bacchus drove Elfman into the ground breaking his beast soul.
"Elfman…"
"He can still fight." I told Mira "Be a man!"
Elfman struggled but stood back up "If…If I win…for the rest of the games your guild's name will be Quatro Puppy…"
"Alright…Alright…" Bacchus said picking up his jug "You've wounded my pride; I'll have to get serious."
"Get ready Elfman, the real fight starts now!" I said.
"He can do it." Mira said with a look of determination.
"Come on big guy." Laxus said.
"Beast Soul: Lizardman!"
"IT'S NO USE!" Bacchus dashed forward and delivered a series of precise strikes.
"Seven hits in an instant!" Mira said stunned.
"That is Bacchus true skill." I told her "Then again Elfman's skills are strong too."
"Shit! My hands…" Bacchus hissed as blood dripped off his fingers.
"Nice!"
The scales of Elfman's transformation had cut at Bacchus when he dashed passed.
"My body or your hands! Which will break first?!" Elfman growled.
"It's all or nothing." I said "This is about who wants it more."
The following attacks were blinding. Bacchus was a blur as he laid into Elfman with strike after strike. Elfman held strong taking every hit without breaking his guard.
Eventually the fight had to stop. Both of them we on their knees in the center of the ring.
"Come on Elfman…"
"Your name's Elfman right?" Bacchus said standing up.
"No…" Mira gasped.
"Hang on." Laxus said.
"You're a real man." Bacchus said falling to the floor.
"ELFMAN WINS!"
"YES!"
"Fairy Tail A now has Twelve Points!" the announcer said.
"Elfman!" Mira cheered almost suffocating me with a hug.
"Mira… I can't breathe!"
After that it was Mira's turn to fight. She was going up against Jenny from Blue Pegasus.
"This is gonna be awesome." I said "Two models having a chick fight."
"Aren't you getting married?" Juvia said giving me a look.
"I was just kidding; Mira can handle this no problem. Her Satan Soul is unbeatable." I turned to look at the field and my eyes almost popped out of my skull "HUH?!"
The two women were posing in bikinis.
"What the hell!" I yelled.
"It's a pose off…" Laxus said staring.
I looked up and I could see the fire in Erza's eyes from across the ring.
"I think you might have to bring in the reserve member. I might die tonight."
Somehow the entire contest turned into all the girls from the various guilds posing in outfits and being way too kinky.
"Now wedding dresses!" The announcer said "Make sure you find a partner!"
"Oh God!" I shivered.
Instead of putting on a dress Erza was having a mental breakdown.
"Are you okay?"
"All these woman…trying to get married before me…my dream ruined."
"If she's just gonna cry on the floor will you be my partner?" Mira asked.
"NO!" Erza yelled answering for me "he will be mine…although we're getting married and he can't see me in my dress till then."
"Erza it's for like five minutes." Mira said grabbing my hand and dragging me off as Erza moped on the ground.
Mira put her arm around mine and I mumbled curses as people took pictures.
Erza's gonna kill me!
Eventually I was allowed to go back to the stands.
"Have fun dying tonight." Laxus said.
"You could have taken my place!" I yelled.
Eventually we came to the final round of this peep show.
"How about we make a bet like all the others?" Jenny suggested.
"Okay." Mira said "What's the bet?"
"The loser…Will appear nude in the next Sorcerer Weekly."
"No fair!" I yelled "Are you trying to kill me!"
"What are you complaining about now?" Juvia mumbled.
"I always support the magazine by being the ones with Mira in it. Erza will actually kill me if I have to buy that!"
"DON'T YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT BUYING IT!" Erza yelled at me from across the stadium.
"Yes Ma'am!" I yelled back.
"Sure." Mira said agreeing.
"Final round…Battle form!"
"Let's continue to do as the others did and end this with a fight." Mira said transforming.
"Sitri…" I mumbled "I'll be fine Mira's got this won."
"RAH!" Mira dashed forward and blew Jenny away.
"Winner Mirajane! Fairy Tail B gets 10 points!"
"Alright." Gajeel said.
"That is why you never piss her off." Laxus nodded.
"I live another day." I sighed in relief.
"Now we have twelve points." Juvia smiled.
After that we congratulated Mira and watched the final match, Kagura vs. Yukino.
Yukino was a celestial wizard like Lucy. She had the keys for Libra and Pisces, along with a thirteenth key called Ophiuchus. Kagura and Yukino made a bet, their lives.
"This is getting a little too serious." Mira said.
"Let's see what that girl can do…" I hummed.
Kagura was on the back foot from the start but she remained collected and managed to defeat Yukino.
"She's strong." Juvia said.
"She didn't even draw her sword." I pointed out.
Day two came to an end and we all headed to the bar for another night of partying.
LATER
Erza and I were having a meeting with Jellal to get caught up on some things.
"So you don't sense any magic energy?"
"Who knows what it means." I mumbled.
"I'll look into the organizers tomorrow, tell Cana to take my place." Jellal said walking off.
"Good night."
"See ya." I mumbled.
Erza grabbed my hand and we went for a walk.
"You know I was only helping Mira out right."
"Yeah I know. Doesn't mean I can't get a little jealous."
"I found you!"
"Who's there?"
"You two look dandy."
"Hello sister."
"It's just you three." I mumbled.
The girl threw her hood back and Millianna waved at us "It's been a while."
"Millianna! Sho! Wally!"
Erza looked happy to see her friends. I was happy for her, the smile on her face was perfect. The three of them joined us on our walk around town. I kinda felt like the odd man out but I didn't mind. If this made Erza happy I was happy.
"So you two still ain't tied the knot?" Wally asked.
"Well we did disappear for seven years, and some other stuff happened."
"Soon." Erza told them "Just a few more weeks and I'll be Erza Dreyer."
"It has a nice ring to it." Sho said "Better than your other name. It'll be from someone you love…"
"Hey Millianna" I said "That girl Kagura was pretty impressive today."
"If she was being serious, she could have been even fiercer." The catgirl explained.
"I'd like to spar with her." Erza said.
"Maybe you'll get matched up in the games..." Millianna said "But Kagura won't even take these games seriously."
"Her sword 'Archenemy' you saw that she didn't unsheathe it." Sho said
"Kagura will only take out that sword for one person." Millianna said "That sword won't come out until it's time for her to kill Jellal, the man who took everything from her."
"Huh?!" Erza said confused.
"I know you want it too." Millianna said "Both of you, Jellal almost ruined your lives. I hate him; he enslaved all of us and killed Simon. That is why I joined Kagura's guild."
"We joined guilds nearby Mermaid Heel to stay in touch. We'll wait for the day Kagura can end him." Wally said.
Can't say I blame them. I could care less what happens. He's probably better off alive or else Erza might get upset.
Erza talked with her friends for a while before they headed back to their guilds. We went to a nearby balcony to reflect.
"You two having some kind of romantic getaway?" Gray asked walking up.
"Where have you been?" Erza asked.
"I got caught up in Lyon and Juvia's rants…"
I just laughed "and the bad part is?"
"…" Gray just looked at me.
"Juvia's a nice girl Gray. If you don't want her just lay it out for her, don't ruin her chances with someone else because you're afraid of commitment."
"We should get back to the inn." Erza said.
"Yeah me too." I said giving her a kiss "I'll see you tomorrow."
