Chapter 5: Joining in the Games!

2 Years Later...

National Fiore Council Branch

"I hear the core members of Fairy Tail is back after seven years." Jura said as everyone nodded in the council room.

"Yes. It is true. But their reputation is being plummeted to the ground by their excessive actions thus far." One of the Ten Wizards Saint said.

"It's true. But you can't blame them." A voice said as the person enters the council room, which caused every Ten Wizards Saint to bow in respect of the person appearance. The person in question is the strongest Wizard in the Ten Wizard Saints. Prior to that, he is in a group called the Four Gods of Ishgar, which represents four of the strongest members in the Ten Wizard Saint, with him being the strongest of them all by being ranked number one because of his power.

"It's so nice to see you, Salamander-sama." A member of the Four Gods of Ishgar greeted him as the person smiled under his hood.

"It's nice to see you too, Warrod." The person who was named Salamander said in return. "Anyway, Fairy Tail has always been boisterous of a guild in the past. You all know that, correct?" Salamander asked. "Without them, we wouldn't have problems arising from dark guilds in the past. Orecion Seis and Grimoire Heart. They're both quite a powerful guild to begin with at that time. Without Fairy Tail, the two of them would cause a ruckus in Fiore." Salamander explained as everyone nodded to his statement.

"That's true." Jura answered with a nod.

"Yes, but you forgot that in Fairy Tail, there was a particular Mage that defeated the Master of Oracion Seis seven years ago. And he defeated Jose, a former member of our council by using one of the three legendary spells of Fairy Tail, Fairy Law." One of the Saints explained.

"Yes. I heard Makarov hid that boy and decided to reveal the ace in Fairy Tail. Can you imagine a S-Class Mage using Fairy Law? Only I know Makarov could use it. But fortunately, this man cast the spell easily by just using one of his hand. That's a remarkable feat for an S-Class Mage."

"Unfortunately, he died when he fought against Acnologia seven years ago. People heard the sound of a roar from a hurting dragon seven years ago. I would guessed that Sakamaki Izayoi had injured the being with his final attack." Salamander stated.

"I had heard that he uses a spell that no one even knows to fight against Acnologia's breath attack."

"That is true. It was said to pierce the sky when he unleashes the spell."

"Amazing."

"Are you done talking? This case is from seven years ago. Let's not get attracted to the past now." Salamander said as everyone nodded at him. "Anyway, I hear there will be a Grand Games Tournament held in Crocus?" He asked as Jura looked at him.

"Yes. My guild and I are joining in the Games." Jura answered.

"Can I join the games? As a member of the Four Gods of Ishgar?" Salamander asked as everyone held a shocked look.

"Salamander-sama, you can't join in the Games! Why would everyone say to your sudden appearance?" One of the Ten Wizard Saints said.

"Why can't I join?" Salamander asked.

"Yes. I don't see why he couldn't join in the Games as a member of our widely known group? He is our leader. We should let him join." Warrod said as everyone look at him before they look at Salamander.

"Thanks, Warrod. So, any questions that you would like to ask before I leave?" Salamander asked looking at everyone. After seeing that nobody wanted to ask, he turns to leave. "I'll be fighting alone for your information." He said before he left the council room, leaving everyone to stare at the door.


Hallway

"Do you really want to join in the Games?" Warrod asked as Salamander stopped walking.

"Yeah. I have to see how things are going on with the Games. We haven't seen Zeref for seven years now. We should be cautious if he has any plans against us humans." Salamander explained.

"But if he did that, you would stop him, right? So, why are you bringing all that stuffs out?" Warrod asked with a smile.

"You're right. I would do anything to stop him." Salamander answered with a smile under his hood.

"I would be certain that Fairy Tail would join the Grand Magic Games. Will you be with them regardless of your reputation?" Warrod asked.

"Who cares about my reputation? I've been waiting for a long time for this to happen. I'm the Sixth Guildmaster of Fairy Tail, right?" Salamander said with a smile under his hood.

"Makarov appointed you before you went to the S-Class Mage Promotion Trial, right?" Warrod asked as Salamander looked at him above his shoulder.

"Yeah. It's part of a Guild master to see how well they are doing, right?" Salamander asked as Warrod nodded.

"But If you join in the games, you know that you will win in every single games, correct?" Warrod questioned.

"Isn't that the condition of the Games? To win every game?" Salamander asked with a small smirk that was visible under his hood as Warrod smiled. "Anyway, I should be going." Salamander said Warrod bow his head a little.

"Have a safe trip, Salamander-sama." Warrod said as Salamander nodded and he walked away towards the capital of Fiore, Crocus.


A few days later...

Grand Magic Coliseum

"The second half of today's Games if the battle part. Like the name implies, it's one-on-one showdown." Mavis explained.

"With the battle part, you get ten points for winning and zero points if you lose. If it's a draw, each side gets five points." Pantherlily explained.

"If we win here, we can still make it to the top!" Happy exclaimed.

"The Games have just begun! Do your best, Fairy Tail!" Mavis said.

"The first match of the first day! From Fairy Tail A, Lucy Heartphilia! Versus Flare Corona from Raven Tail!" Chapati said as his voice could be heard throughout the city of Crocus.

Both Lucy and Flare step up to stand in the middle of the coliseum as Toma stood in the middle of the two, being the referee of the games.

"Since this entire area is your battlefield, only you two will be in here. Your time limit is 30 minutes." Toma explained. Toma is a short man and he wore giant pumpkin head with large eyes and mouth. He wears a striped shirt with white cuffs, a black shirt underneath, a dark cape with white edges and white underside, a pair of white pants, white boots, white gloves, and a dark witch-like hat. On the backside of his cape the word "MATO" is written.

"Bl-Blondie…" Flare said. Flare is a pale-skinned young woman of average height with long, dark red hair, which is usually worn in a pair of massive waist-length braids that are tied together behind her back. She has full lips and reddish eyes always shown wide open, something which, together with her tilted head, her perpetually raised eyebrows, and her semi-opened mouth, gives her a somewhat deranged appearance. In addition, she seems to have visible bags below her eyes, adding to her distinctive look. Flare possesses an extremely voluptuous body, with very large breasts matched by similarly large hips, endowing her with a virtually perfect hourglass figure. Her left shoulder bears a scar in the shape of an "X", and her dark Raven Tail mark is located on the upper part of her right breast.

Flare's shapely figure is hugged by an extremely revealing crimson dress secured by halter-neck straps, which leaves most of her upper body, namely her back, sides and a large portion of her cleavage almost reaching down to her navel (and, as a result, part of her guild mark) completely exposed. The dress reaches down to her calves, with the skirt being flouncy, possessing a large slash in its front right part for Flare's legs to move freely, and a lighter section, consisting of two elongated patches acting as a belt of sorts in correspondence to her waist, is apparently sewn to the dress. Flare's attire is completed by long gloves almost reaching up to her shoulders, matching her dress in color, each having a small cut on the upper outer edge

"I swear I'm not gonna lose!" Lucy thought with a determined look.

"Let the battle begins!" Toma said as he walked away from the area.


The Capital of Fiore, Crocus

Outside the coliseum, a figure walked through the city of Crocus, with the attention to join in the Games. He was wearing a formal black hooded long-sleeved trenchcoat, with a big symbol of the Ten Wizard Saints behind his back. He wore silver shoulder pads and black pants, with black combat boots along with black gloves that hid his hands. He was currently walking towards the Grand Magic Games that was held in Crocus, in which he was walking in. In front of his coat, his Wizards Saint's medallion was hanging on the right side of his chest by a dark black ribbon.

"Hmm…" The figure stopped by a building as he looked up at the building, sensing Wendy and Porlyusica's presences. "I better not." He mutters as he looked forward and walked away from the building, unaware someone was watching him.

"What to do now? Lucy is fighting Raven Tail…" Salamander mutters under his breath, hearing from the arena a while ago. "Hmm…" Salamander stopped as he slowly looked up towards the coliseum that was held up on the highest point of a cliff, that would oversee the whole city of Crocus. "I decided. Let's go and write us an entrance form of joining in." He said with a smile as he walked towards the coliseum.


Grand Magic Coliseum

"Asuka-chan!" Lucy yelled but she was interrupted as Flare shut her mouth with her red hair.

"Don't say anything. That's an order. If you disobey, you'll know what'll happen, right? Even a blond bimbo like you can understand." Flare said with a menacing look.

"That's low…" Lucy thought with gritted teeth.

Up at the balcony amongst the crowd, the Knight Squadron Chief Arcadios was standing while looking at the battle between Lucy and Flare. Arcadios is a muscular, well-built man of average height, seen to be wearing armor of the Cherry Blossom Holy Knight Squadron. He has deep set eyes and high cheekbones, with a small scar running from his left temple to the edge of his thick eyebrows. He also has a snub, square-shaped nose. His hair is dark and wavy, sticking up around his head, with prominent sideburns that join into a curved and pointed beard.

Captain of the Guard, you've been watching the game from up here?" A guard asked standing behind Arcadios.

"She's ripening…" Arcadios said which confused the guard. "Matured fruit is ripening. It may be accomplished this year. Just you wait… Lord Zeref." Arcadios said to himself with a smile.

"Hmm?" Makarov narrowed his eyes, sensing something was wrong.

"What's wrong, Master?" Romeo asked looking at him.

Makarov looked at him, "Maybe just my imagination? I felt something odd…" Makarov said to him.

"Blame it on your age." Bisca said with a smile.

"Easy, easy…" Alzack said with a smile as Makarov looked at him in mock anger.

"Quiet, you!" He yelled at them.

"Old mustache man!" Asuka said unaware of Flare's hair waving back and forth below Asuka's legs.

"No one notices. There's no way they will notice. If I feel like it, I could take down that brat in an instant…" Flare said.

"What kind of monster is she?" Lucy thought.

"The breathtaking battle part continues! It's Lucy Heartphilia versus Flare Corona! Come to think of it, Yajima-san, when you were in the council, Fairy Tail enjoyed a very different reputation than they do today, correct?" Chapati Lola asked.

"They were popular. They were top class when it came to raw power. Unfortunately, we had a heck of time with all the problems they caused." Yajima explained.

"Well, I bet a lot of people here don't know what they were like back then." Chapati stated.

"How dirty can you get?" Lucy asked.

"Don't say anything. Don't move. Don't use any magic. You'll know what happen if you disobey, right?" Flare questioned with her hair covering her tilting head. "Blondie!" She said as she attacked Lucy, causing her to be threw back by Flare's red hair.

"Hmm? Did keeping two gates at the same time backfired on her?" Jura asked perplexed.

"Is her magic cupboard bare?" Chelia asked.

"She's not naked!" Toby said to her.

"That's not what she means." Yuka said to him.

"Hahahahahaha!" Flare said as she attacked countless times at Lucy with her red hair. Meanwhile, Lucy just took on the attack, enduring the countless waves of attacks to protect Asuka.

"Lucy, what's wrong?" Erza asked.

"They were neck and neck just before!" Elfman said as Flare dragged Lucy across the coliseum's ground with her red hair.

"What in the world is going on?" Chapati asked. "What was a fierce battle just moments ago has turned into a one-sided battle beat down!" He stated. Chapati is a middle aged short man, thin and pale-skinned. His smooth face is unusual, square and very big when compared to his small eyes, thin eyebrows, nose, mouth and chin, all close together and located in the middle of the face. He is bald, so he wears a wig. He is now wearing a neatly combed dark blue wig. For attire, he wears a simple dark suit with a light shirt under it, dark pants and a tie, where it reads "Grand Magic Games".

"Hang in there!" Asuka shouted at her as Lucy looked at her.

Flare then lit up her hair in flames as she attack Lucy with her strands of flaming fiery hair. "Take that! And that!" Flare shouted. "Hahahaha!" She laughed as Lucy endured the attacks on her.

"Everyone…" Lucy thought. "Wendy… Gray… I'm sorry…" Lucy thought as she clench her fist that was on the ground.

"I give up…" Lucy was interrupted as she was gagged by Flare's hair while her arms and legs were restrained by her hair.

"I'm not gonna let you surrender. I'm just getting started here playing with you. Understand? Don't say a word." Flare said as she let her hair off of Lucy's mouth.

"However…" She said. "… I will allow screaming!" She said as she laughed. "Now let's see… What shall I do to you first? Maybe I'll tear off your clothes in front of all these people… That would be funny, but I've just thought of an even better idea!" She stated as Lucy gasped, seeing Flare formed a Raven Tail mark with her hair.

"I'll brand the insignia of Raven Tail onto your body!" Flare said. "A brand that'll never fade away! Where would you like me to put it?" She asked as she spotted Lucy's Fairy Tail mark on her right hand. "I see! You want me to put it right over your Fairy Tail insignia, huh?" Flare asked as her branded Raven Tail hair went to Lucy's hand.

"Please! Anything but that!" Lucy shouted with a scared look.

"I told you not to talk!" Flare stated angrily.

"Don't! Anywhere but there!" Lucy said with wide eyes.

"We're Fairy Tail. This is the proof of our total engagement to the guild. You know, you and I are the only ones branded with the guild's insignia on our right hands. So, we're special than the others!" Izayoi said through Lucy's mind.

"Izayoi, help me…" Lucy said mentally as Flare's hair with the Raven Tail mark was getting closer to her right hand, which was branded with her guild's insignia, Fairy Tail.

Suddenly, the whole coliseum shook as everyone held a shock look, including the participating guilds. Then, a wave of magical power spreads through the coliseum as Flare stopped her hair from branding Lucy's hand. Lucy looked down at the ground that was shaking.

"What's happening?" The crowd asked in fear.

"What's going on?" Erza asked.

"What a vast amount of magical power…" Mirajane thought as Asuka looked up at the sky and she pointed her finger, which caused Alzack and Bisca, her father and mother to look up as well.

"I never felt this much power before!" Mystogan thought in surprise, feeling the amount of magic power that he felt was extremely powerful.

"There!" Asuka said as Makarov looked up, followed by every single member of Fairy Tail.

"You know, I got good ears." A voice said as everyone in the coliseum looked up at the owner of the voice. "But you shouldn't cheat your way just to have fun for your own pleasure." Salamander said as he floated down from the sky with his feet emblazing with red hot fire.

"It's him..." Lucy thought with wide eyes, recalling that he was one who caught her after Fairy Tail defeated the newly-formed Oracion Seis.

"Th-That's…" Jenny said with wide eyes.

"That symbol…" Yajima said as he looked upon the Ten Wizards Saint symbol on the Salamander's back.

"So, he is here." Jura said as Yuka and Toby look at him. Meanwhile, Chelia looked at Salamader with wide eyes full of admiration.

"H-Hey, that mark is the Ten Wizards Saint, right?" One of the people said in the crowd as his friend nodded at him. "Y-Yeah, but what is he doing here?" His friend asked.

"Everyone, it is Salamander! One of the Ten Wizards Saint! And one of the strongest Mages in Fiore!" Chapati said knowing who was the man.

"Isn't he the one who saved Lucy from falling to the ground after we defeated Oracion Seis?" Elfman asked.

"Yeah, he is. But I didn't know that he is a member of the Ten Wizards Saint..." Erza stated looking at the newly-arrived Salamander. She doesn't know why, but she felt like she had met him from somewhere but she couldn't piece it together. "Why does he feel so familiar?" Erza asked.

Salamander landed on the ground beside Flare, "And you. You should pay a little for what you would attempt to do." He said as the whole coliseum's ground was ablaze in flames.

"Asuka!" Bisca yelled as she pulled her daughter away from Flare's hair which was swaying back and forth before it disappeared through the hole in the stand.

"Ah!" Flare shouted in pain as her hair retracted back from Asuka to her, due to the intense heat of the Salamander's flames. After that, the flames around the coliseum disappeared swiftly like the wind.

"Do you think I don't know, chick? I can hear very well." Salamander commented himself as Flare looked at him and clench her fists in frustration.

"It's nice to meet you all in this wonderful morning. But unfortunately, I have to interrupt the fight because the reason is, I'm going to join the Grand Magic Games to represent my team, the Four Gods of Ishgar. In case you don't know, I'm the leader of the group. So, I hope you all would accept me into the game." Salamander said as everyone held a shock look.

"Four Gods of Ishgar?!"

"You're kidding me! He'll defeat every single participants in the games!"

"Yeah, that's true!"

"So, that's Salamander..." Mystogan thought looking at Salamander. "The leader of the Four Gods of Ishgar." He stated quietly.

"Are you kidding me? He can't be serious!" Sting stated.

"Calm down, Sting. We never even showed him our powers yet. Patient." Rogue said as Sting clench his fists and then he sighs, letting his hands down onto his side as he looked at Salamander.

"Salamander..." Sting thought with gritted teeth.

"Who is he?" Natsu asked.

"He is the one who saved Lucy, right?" Elfman asked.

"I know about that, but..." Natsu raised an eyebrow. "How can he wield my flames?" He asked.

"What do you mean your flames? It's his own flames." Elfman said as Natsu scratched his head in confusion.

"But why does it feel so familiar...?" Natsu asked under his breath.

"Anyway, can I join in? I hope I didn't arrive late enough." Salamander said as Toma looked at him.

"Nope. As a favor for a member of the Ten Wizards Saint, we'll let you join in. It's a good thing that you didn't arrive in the finals." He stated with a smile as Salamander smile under his hood. "His Majesty would be honor to see what you are capable of, Salamander-sama." Toma said as Salamander nodded.

"Salamander..." Kagura thought looking at Salamander. Kagura is a young, slim, large-busted woman, with long, straight black hair that falls to the middle of her back. It is cut in the traditional Japanese "princess style."

Kagura dons an elaborate blazer with gold lining, and a large collar, which is open to reveal a collared shirt and red tie underneath. The cuffs of this jacket are tucked into a pair of white wrist-high gloves. On her legs, Kagura wears a pair of black tights, which are tucked into a pair of knee-high boots and sit under a short white frilled skirt. Kagura also wears a white headband with a white ribbon tied at the middle in a bow, pointing straight up.

"Kagura." Milliana said as Kagura was looking at Salamander. "Isn't he the one you like?" She asked as Kagura turns her head quickly, surprising Milliana on how fast she turns her head.

"What do you mean like? I never like him." Kagura admitted as a slight blush adorned her cheeks, to which was noticed by the now smirking Milliana.

"Really?" Milliana asked. "A year ago, you took the front cover with Salamander-kun on the Weekly Sorcerer Magazine, right?" She asked as she raised her hand, showing her the said magazine, which showed Salamander holding her with one arm, while she was looking the other way with a blush on her cheeks. The two of them were described as walking.

NEWS! Salamander made a promise with Kagura Mikazuchi about going on a walk with her after he won the battle between them. Aren't the two of them looked like the coolest couple?! COOOL! - Jason

"Wh-Where did you get that?!" Kagura asked with a surprise look as Milliana pulled the magazine back, not wanting Kagura to take it.

"I kept it. Because you look cute in the front cover with a boy by your side." Milliana teased with a playful smile.

"That's not true! That magazine is n-nothing! I loss, okay?" Kagura said looking the other way, her face flushed, as Milliana raised an eyebrow at her because she never seen Kagura stutter before in her life. "I didn't know he was that strong of a Ten Wizards Saint." She explained.

"I never saw you stutter before, Kagura. You must really like him a lot if he can make you like this." Milliana said as Kagura wore a look of realization. Kagura then coughed in her hand before she took the magazine off of Milliana's hand, catching her by surprise. She then looked at Salamander, who was standing on the ground of the colliseum.

"He did not do such things. Salamander-kun - I mean, Salamander won against a promise that he told me before we battle. I took on his promise and I promised to myself in front of him that I would fulfilled the promise if he won against me." Kagura explained.

"But you loseee, right?" Milliana said with a smile as Kagura looked away in embarrassment. "I didn't know our strongest mage could be embarrassed because of a Mage." Milliana said.

"He's not just a Mage, Milliana." Kagura countered.

"I know, he is the leader of the Four Gods of Ishgar. He is practically the strongest participant in the arena. But can you believe it?" Milliana asked.

"Believe what?" Kagura asked.

"That he is the leader of the Four Gods of Ishgar, of course!" Milliana said as she raised an eyebrow at Kagura. "But I didn't know that you would reply so defensively for him." She said as Kaguya's eyes widen in realization.

"We should stop our conversation here and focus onto the fight at hand." Kagura stated as she focuses on Salamander instead of Lucy and Flare.

"She said focused onto the fight. But why is she focused on Salamander, who's not fighting?" Milliana thought with a playful smile. "Hehe, I think someone is in love..." Milliana thought with a smile as she giggle in her hand.

"Why is my heart like this?" Kagura thought in confusion feeling her heart hammering inside her chest for no reason that she could think of. Without her noticing, she hugged the magazine with the picture of her and Salamander closely to her chest.

"Salamander? But isn't that your name, Natsu?" Elfman asked.

"I don't get it..." Natsu replied with a sigh.

"Salamander? I never heard of a name." Makarov stated looking down at Salamander. "And he is the leader of the Four Gods of Ishgar. The four strongest members of the Ten Wizards Saint have been described as being so powerful that they shouldn't even be considered human." He explained.

"Salamander, he suddenly appeared two years ago." Alzack said as Makarov look at him. "He joined the Ten Wizards Saint because of his strange power and he was recommended by someone. I heard he defeated the leader who was strongest Mage in the Ten Wizards Saint and the others accepted him to join in to replace him. Also, since he defeated the strongest Mage, he was known throughout Fiore as his name suggested, Salamander. Now, he is one of the members of the Four Gods of Ishgar and he is the leader of the three others and the whole organization of the Ten Wizards Saint." Alzack explained as Makarov looked at him in shock.

"He's the leader of the whole Ten Wizards Saint?" Makarov asked as Alzack look at him and nodded.

"Yes. I heard people say he was young given that all of the members in the Ten Wizards Saint were old." Alzack said as Makarov look at him with a slight glare. "Haha... Sorry." Alzack apologized with a sweat drop.

"Salamander..." Makarov thought with a thoughtful look. "If he is one of the members of the Four Gods of Ishgar and the strongest Mage in Fiore. He would support the Magic Council no matter what. If that's the case, why did he joined the Ten Wizards Saint? Hmm... This will be trouble if he decides to bring our guild down with his power. If Alzack said was right, Gildarts and I would be defeated in a blink of an eye if we fight against him. I should stay on my guard around him." Makarov thought.

"Oh, I forgot." Alzack said as Makarov looked at him.

"Salamander helped us on our funds of the guild. And he was the one that kept our guild where it is now. Without him, we would be finding jobs on the street. Easy, cheap jobs." Alzack said as Makarov look at him in surprise.

"Yeah, Salamander came sometimes! He played with me every time he visited!" Asuka said with a happy smile as Bisca look at her daughter with a smile.

"Yes, he did. Asuka was never happy in her life when she played with him." Bisca said.

"How often did he came?" Makarov asked.

"Every 3-4 months. He always said he's busy with the Ten Wizards Saint and the Magic Council." Alzack answered.

Makarov looked at Salamander, "Who are you, Salamander?" Makarov asked curiously while Mavis looked at Salamander, sensing that something was familiar with him.

"It's Salamander-kun!" Chelia said excitedly at the presence of Salamander in the coliseum.

"You know him, Chelia?" Yuka asked as he looked at her, followed by Toby.

"You never heard of him before?" Chelia exclaimed in shock as she raised a magazine. In the front cover of the Weekly Sorcerer Magazine was Salamander raising his right hand and showing everyone his flames that engulfed his hand.

"SALAMANDER. Who doesn't want to be him? He is so cool! Defeating dark guilds by himself, a member of the Ten Wizards Saint and lastly, WOMEN adores him! How cool is that? Really COOOL! - Jason

"Even if he wore a hood? I don't understand why women adore him if he always wore a hood-" Yuka was interrupted by Chelia.

"Because everyone loves his mysteriousness. I mean, who doesn't? Nobody, I mean nobody had ever seen his face! I wished I was the one that could see his face for the first time!" Chelia exclaimed in excitement.

"Big deal. What if he is ugly than you thought he would be?" Yuka asked.

"Stop saying that, will you? You never even saw his face. How do you know, smart guy?" Chelia said with a glare, which made Yuka flinch.

"I don't know..." Yuka replied in fear.

"Then, stop questioning him!" Chelic shouted as Yuka step back.

"Lucy Heartphilia, now." Salamander said to Lucy, who looked at him and nodded.

"Thank you." Lucy said as she called out Gemini, to which they released her from Flare's hair after they hit her in the face.

"Do that thing!" Lucy said to Gemini.

"We haven't practiced enough!" Left Gemini said.

"We don't know if we can do it or not!" Right Gemini stated.

"Anyway, turn into me!" Lucy commanded as both Gemini combine and turns to Lucy, with a towel wrapped around her body, surprising everyone including Lucy.

"What are you dressed like that for?" Lucy asked in mock anger.

"It's not our fault! This is what you had on when we copied you! " Gemini Lucy said as the male spectators had hearts in both of their eyes.

"I see... Yesterday, right after I got out of the tub..." Lucy said as Gemini Lucy take a look at her breasts under the towel. "Don't look!" Lucy said as Salamander watches in amusement.

"Blondie!" Flare said.

"Wouldn't that Gemini be a powerhouse if it turned into Erza or Laxus? Or even Izayoi for that matter? If its Izayoi, then this battle would have ended in seconds." Jet explained.

"It can't. I'm told it can only copy someone with about the same level of magic as its owner, Lu-chan." Levy explained.

"I get it. So, it'd be impossible to copy Master or the first master... Or Izayoi. " Roy said.

"But it'd probably be able to copy the fourth master, right?" Wakaba asked.

"Stow it!" Macao said to him. "How different are you?!" He replied back.

"Well, well! This is a nice happening!" Chapati said with hearts in his eyes.

"She does have curves in all the right places..." Jenny commented as Mavis touched her chest.

"All the right places..." Mavis said gloomy but then she caught Salamander looking at her. Then, her eyes widen when he smiled at her beneath his hood.

"Don't worry. Everyone has their own charms." Salamander said.

"Anyway, what's she planning to do with two of herself?" Max asked.

"Now, there are two Lucy Heartphilia's! And one of them is only wearing a bath towel!" Chapati said.

"Those are the Twins, Gemini, of the Twelve Zodiac Celestial Spirits." Yajima explained.

"Sound out the heavens, open the heavens... Stars across the universe, show yourselves to me will all your brilliance!" Both Lucy chanted together as the ground below them glowed.

"That magic... I don't believe it..." Hibiki said.

"I see... She made two of herself to increase her magic power." Ren stated.

"Amazing... So she learned the ultimate magic of the stars!" Hibiki said with a smile.

"With the magic power that I have at the moment, I can't produce the power that I did then, even with the two of me... But I'll show you!" Lucy thought as the Gemini Lucy continued chanting.

"Wh-What is this?!" Flare asked in fear.

"Open thy savage gate!" Both Lucy said. "This is Fairy Tail! This is... One stroke that the pride of the guild is riding on!" Lucy said mentally.

"88 stars of the heavens... Open!" Lucy said as she and Flare were inside her spell.

"The sky filled with stars?! What is this?! " Flare asked.

"Urano Metria!" Both Lucy's said as their backs were against each other. Then, lights started to shower the coliseum as everyone watched in wonder. But then, it suddenly disappeared as everyone held a confused look.

"What the...?"

"What happened?"

"W-What? What's going on?" Happy asked.

"Gemini's gone, too." Pantherlily stated.

"It all disappeared...?" Lucy asked as she wobbled a little.

Flare looked at the stand, seeing one of her teammates nodding at her. "Obra! It was you, wasn't it?" Flare thought with a smirk.

"I don't believe it... Why?" Lucy thought sadly as she slowly fell towards the ground.

"What happened?!" Erza asked with gritted teeth.

"Her magic disappeared?! " Elfman asked.

"Lucy seemed to be casting a major spell, but her magic failed?!" Chapati said as he turns to Yajima. "Yajima-san, what do you think?" He asked as Chapati step back in fright, seeing Yajima giving a menacing glare. "Y-Yajima-san! " Chapati asked as Jenny held a surprise look. Then, Lucy fell down onto the ground.

"Oh, my! Lucy is down for the count! The match is over! The winner is Raven Tail's Flare Corona!" Chapati said as everyone cheered.

"Oi, do you think I'm an idiot, chick?" Salamander asked as Flare looked at him.

"It is decided already." Flare replied mockingly as Salamander disappeared.

Suddenly, he appeared in front of the stand where Raven Tail is. He stood in front of Obra. Obra is an extremely tall and massive figure with an outlandish appearance, sporting pale blue skin and round, beady, reflective and mildly protruding black eyes, which have no seeming sclera, being completely dark like those of a rodent, or a bird. It has very long, straight blue hair, which flows down to its shoulders, where it is gathered in a ponytail. The features of its face are just as distinctive, with it being elongated frontwards, culminating in a very long, protruding and vaguely hooked nose, under which the puppet's wide mouth, with thick pinkish lips, sits. It has a fairly long neck, and passing just above its nose are two white belts covered in round studs, with a larger section secured by buttons sitting on its nose's upper part.

Most of his body is hidden away by a very large, poncho-like black cape, whose collar, reaching up to its face and obscuring its chin, is adorned by a white pattern consisting of several white circles linked together by a line passing below them. Below its neck, secured to it by straps, are three white bow ties, placed one below the other, and linked together by smaller straps. Sprouting from below such cape are four, limb-like appendages covered in dark and light stripes, somehow reminiscent of a bee's sting, with two of them being placed at each of its sides. Its attire is completed by a high, large-brimmed top hat, circled by two bronze-colored stripes right above the brim and some inches below its top.

"It was you, wasn't it?" Salamander asked coldly as his entire body was ablaze in flames, which frighten the little creature on Obra's shoulder. "You... I could just kill you right now..." Salamander said as Alexei look at him.

"It'd be improper if a member of the Ten Wizards Saint kill people would it?" Alexei asked as Salamander look at him. Alexei resembles a medieval Knight, with a mask instead of a helmet. His tall body is completely covered by armor (except for his big orange hair) with a long cape bearing Raven Tail's Crest behind.

He keeps his face hidden behind a golden mask. It's slightly triangular, with a square part in the chin's region and two pointed parts in the sides, in the region of the ears. As characteristic feature, the mask has a trident-like plate in the forehead's region, forming a "W" pattern. It also has two opens next to the plate that allows Alexei to see, as well two white strips in each side of the mask.

The rest of the armor is composed by a metallic pectoral, separated to the waist's cingulum by a piece of dark cloth. The cingulum also has two pointed plates in each side of Alexei's body. For the legs, that are also separated from the cingulum by cloth, Alexei uses the traditional cuisse, with round poleyns and stylized greaves. Alexei's arms are also covered by the dark cloth, and end into metallic bracelets attached to gauntlets, that have sharp pointed fingers.

Alexei's dark cape is attached to its side in the region of his neck, apparently by a circular fivel. The cape resembles Laxus' initial tunic, with a blue dense fur delimiting it.

"Shut you. Who cares about your opinion." Salamander said which caused Alexei to clench his fist tightly by his insult.

Salamander looked at Obra, "If you think you can nullify my power, then you're wrong. Because when you do, you'll find yourself burned to ashes." Salamander said as he summon a sword out of his flames and pointed it at Obra's neck, surprsing everyone who was watching in surprise, including Kagura. She was looking at the sword he wielded, to which she found it very interesting that he could summon a sword out of his flames. "Don't think this will be the last warning you'll get." Salamander said coldly before he pulled his sword away from Obra and disappear from the stand.

Salamander appear on the coliseum's ground as his sword of flames disappeared out of thin air.

"Salamander is pretty pissed." Milliana said with a small frown as Kagura looked at Alexei and Obra with narrowed eyes.

Salamander slowly went over to Lucy and he picked her up in his arms, which surprises her. Then, his body went aflame.

"What are you doing to Lucy?!" Natsu said with gritted teeth, not believing what he sees.

"Natsu, stop. Look." Erza said as Natsu looked closely at Salamander and Lucy. His eyes widen when he saw that Lucy's injuries were being healed little by little.

After a while, the flames disappeared and Lucy opened her eyes to face Salamander.

"There's something fishy about this!" Happy exclaimed.

"I didn't see that redhead do anything to make the magic disappear..." Pantherlily said.

"She had help from outside the ring." Mavis informed.

"Those jerks cheat!" Romeo said as Makarov looked at his son, Ivan Dreyar.

"Ivan! Are you looking for a match outside the arena?" Makarov said gritting his teeth.

"I win. That's what you get, Blondie! You're pathetic! And ugly! And a loser!" Flare said as she laughed while Lucy looked around the coliseum.

"What the hell was that, a magic misfire?!"

"Lame!"

"So now Raven Tail has 18 points. "

"Fairy Tail... Still has zero points!"

"Would you guys shut up?" Salamander said coldly causing everybody in the arena to flinch in fear. "Do you want to get burn to ashes?" He asked them. "Okay, how about we play a game? If you want to laugh it all out for Fairy Tail, why don't you fight against me?" Salamander asked shocking everyone.

"Over the years, I saw Fairy Tail going down but I helped them to stay on their feet even if they aren't what they're supposed to be back then. But now, they want to prove that Fairy Tail is still the strongest guild when it was in the past." Salamander explained as Lucy's eyes widen, followed by every Fairy Tail members. "But let me tell you something, if you go against Fairy Tail... You go against me, got it?" Salamander asked as everyone stayed quiet because they were extremely afraid on getting burn to ashes by him. Salamander look around, "Good. If you laugh at her again, there won't be anything left of your corpse." Salamander said as Lucy looked up at him.

Meanwhile, up in the stands, Mavis was looking down at Salamander. "Salamander..." Mavis mutters under her breath, knowing that something was strange about him. But she can't figure that out. "Who are you?" Mavis asked in curiosity.

Down on the ground, Salamander looked at Lucy, "Now... Let's get you to the infirmary to rest, okay?" He asked as Lucy nodded. "Because from now on, we're gonna turn this thing around. Zero points? That's nothing. It's only a matter of time before everyone gets a flaming slap to the face." Salamander said as Lucy smiled happily at him.

"Yeah!"


That's the end of chapter 5. I hope you all like it or love it. Anyway, who is Salamander? Do you know? Some of you may know, some of you may not. Anyhow, Salamander is the Leader of the Four Gods of Ishgar and the leader of the Ten Wizards Saint. Also, he is the Sixth Guildmaster of Fairy Tail but did Makarov know? No... he doesn't. So, in the next chapter, he'll be surprise on who is the true Sixth Guildmaster of Fairy Tail. Other than that, Mavis is pretty curious about Salamander. Let's see if she can figure out his identity in the next chapter, hopefully.

Anyway, don't forget to leave a favorite and follow after you read this story. And please, Review the chapter because I really want to know about what you think about the story. How do you like the story so far? Comment on that. How do you like Salamander's appearance in the Grand Magic Games? Comment on that. And how do you like (Kagura's attraction to Salamander even if she doesn't know it?) Please review on that, because to be honest I really like Kagura. Other than that, Chelia is pretty much adores Salamander. So, what do you think about all these things to review? I hope you all review about these things.

So, what will happen in the next chapter? Will Salamander fight alone against the guild members of each guild? Or will he do something else to surprise a certain guild?

Stay tune, ne?
