Chapter 7: Second Day of the Grand Magic Tournament!

Flashback...

"They have Lucy, huh?" Izayoi stares up at the center of the giant from his stand on top of the left severed giant hand. "Now they have to pay. Big time." A smirk appears on the corner of his cheek as Izayoi crouches down before shooting off like a bullet towards the center of the giant, crashing through the walls with his feet and landed upon a large hall.

Once he landed, he spotted a certain red headed armoured woman standing above a defeated Aria.

"So I'm guessing you joined in." Izayoi commented smirking as Erza looked upon his arrival and nods before noting the overall appearance of the blonde, especially the dragon scales evident on his face and arms.

"Those scales-like dragon…So he is a Dragon Slayer." Erza thought upon the blonde's appearance as of late.

"So what happened to him?" Izayoi asked nonchalantly nudging Aria by the shoulder before facing Erza with a playful smile.

"He's an obstacle I have to overcome before—" Erza was instantly cut off by a voice resounding throughout the large hall.

"Well, what do we have here? The proclaimed Titania decided to grace me with her presence and what is this…?" Both Izayoi and Erza turned behind to face Jose walking up to them with a villainous smile. "Oh, so this is the Dragon Slayer I've been hearing about. It seems you have entered into my chambers, Dragon Slayer." Jose stated as Izayoi glances down at his scaly arms.

"Dragon Slayer?" Izayoi thought before looking up at Jose and smirking. "Well then, if you don't mind me asking. Are you the one calling the shots around here?"

"I certainly do. Why is that?" Izayoi shrugs his shoulders before stepping forward.

"Nothing but I don't see why you would recruit such weaklings to guard you. Why don't you fight us yourself? It's pathetic." Izayoi raises an eyebrow at Jose who stares at him eye wide at his insult before a burst of magic power shoots out of Jose's whole being. "Woah, did I somehow piss you off?" Izayoi smiles playfully.

"Weaklings? They are far greater than you, boy."

"Really? Somehow I find that hard to believe." Izayoi spread his arms wide. "I came here safe and sound. Do you have any explanation for that?" He said mockingly as Jose slightly gritted his teeth in frustration. "I mean, look at him." The blonde gestured his feet to Aria's defeated form lying on the ground a few feet away. "He's already on the ground even before I got here. Don't you think he's weak?"

"How dare you, boy? Your mouth has no limits for insult, do you?"

"There are a lot coming if we stay here and chat all day." Izayoi smirks playfully as Jose immediately raises his fingers and shoots out dark beams from his fingertips towards the blonde. Watching the dark beams getting nearer, Izayoi merely raises his right arm to his left and shrug off the attack with a swing of his arm, surprising both Erza and Jose at the action. "It looks like you're up for a fight." Izayoi stated readying his stance to fight before a sword gets in front of him and blocks his way.

"You can't fight alone." Erza said to Izayoi who raises an eyebrow before letting out a snicker to which causes her to look at him.

"You'd think he's enough to take me down? Hah! Stop joking will you. I think you're the one who should get out of the way, Titania." Izayoi said calling Erza by her title before he brushes the sword away to stand ahead of her.

"What?"

"Do you not hear me the first time?" Izayoi asked glancing behind at her, a smile playing on his lips. "You're the one who should step back, Titania." At this, a sword was instantly pointed at his back as Erza glares up at the blonde.

"Don't act so arrogant. You're not one to command me." Erza retorted back as Izayoi looks at her without any fear to her open threat.

"Then don't be. If you get in my way, I'm not kidding I'll target you instead. If you are any strong as they say your title." Eyed wide by his statement, Erza cannot find herself to speak anymore before Izayoi turns his gaze away from her towards Jose who smirks at the two.

"Such words. A traitor amidst the fairies? How delighting!" Jose commented as he watches Erza stares down at the ground for a while before she glares at him. "So what will your action be, Titania? Will you retreat in the midst of battle or will you do the opposite?" Jose mocked watching Erza gritting her teeth before reluctantly stepping back and runs out of the room and leave both Izayoi and him all alone. "Anyway, with the chance of victory running out of the room. How will you-?!" At the second he was interrupted, a fist made itself buried in his stomach causing blood to purge his mouth and burst out onto the ground. Then, Jose felt a kick to his body before he hits the wall next to him, destroying it and shaking the ground simultaneously from the impact.

"Wh-What…?" Jose coughs sitting against the crater formed in the wall behind him before he settled his eyes at the blonde standing in front of him with a smirk.

"Is this all you can do? Hah, you're more of a weakling than I thought! I don't know why they can't beat you in the first place." Izayoi mocked before a burst of magical power alerted him and he found himself facing off dark tendrils that tie his whole being.

"That'll teach you to belittle me, the Guildmaster of Phantom Lord!" Standing up, Jose smirks over his victory before he watches the tendrils wrapping themselves around the blond exploded into nothingness and he watched Izayoi stood unscathed.

"Is that all you got?" Izayoi raising an eyebrow mockingly as Jose gritted his teeth and instantly fired away dark beams that targeted the blonde.

"Don't underestimate me, boy! I'm more than enough to shut that insulting mouth of yours!"

"Then do it!" Izayoi said sprinting forward before punching the dark beams and the whole area lit up into light.


Meanwhile running into one of the hallways in the giant was Erza who got herself away from the hall to allow the blonde to fight the Guildmaster of Phantom Lord alone. The red head stops running and slow herself to stand in the center of the hallway. She looks below at the ground as she contemplated her decision on leaving him alone to fight but she recalled that the blonde did not need her help whatsoever, much to her confusion and frustration.

Narrowing her eyes at the insulting blonde she come to know, a disapproving frown curved downwards on her lips. Suddenly, a loud explosion came resounding from behind her and Erza looks behind her, sensing the explosion had originated from the hall she left a while ago. A frown of worry plaster her face as she stares at the way towards the hall for a while. Then, she shakes her head before she closes her eyes.

"He…has got it under control. You have to…trust him." Erza convinced herself with the thought before she decided to find her friends within the giant.


"Not taking it head on like you did before, huh!" One of the members of the Phantom Lord named Gajeel said as he tried to cut Natsu with his iron sword that he transformed with his right hand. "It was nothing, right?" Gajeel said with a grin as he slices his sword at Natsu but he kept dodging from the blade.

Natsu flipped back on the ground after dodging Gajeel's sword attacks around, not wanting to be cut to shreds by his sword.

"You're actually pretty agile." Gajeel commented.

"Same goes for you." Natsu replied.

"Last time was just the preliminaries, after all." Gajeel stated as his sword reverted to his normal hand. "Let's put an end to this, Salamander!" He said with a grin.

Natsu brushed his nose with his right hand, "Now I'm all fired up, you scrap metal bastard!" Natsu exclaimed with a serious look.

"They both fight with Dragon Slayer, the ability to change their body's constitution to that of a dragon. And these two anti-dragon specialists are going to fight!" Lucy thought observing the fight. "How is this going to work out?" Lucy asked.

Then, Gajeel lift up his right hand as a burst of light green wind released from him, causing his body to turn to iron.

"This is gonna destroy you!" Gajeel said with a grin.

"His body!" Lucy stated in shock.

"It's Dragon Scales!" Happy said.

Gajeel dashes towards Natsu, "Ryuuno Gouken!" Gajeel said as he punched Natsu, who blocked with his back arm. A green magic circle appear in front of Gajeel's fist as Natsuwas immediately blown back from the force of the spell.

"We're being caught up in it, 3rd time!" Boze said dodging to the side, as Natsu hit the wall behind him.

"No more!" Sue said with anime tears in her eyes.

"That made a nice sound, hey." Gajeel said with a laidback voice as his eyes glowed red under the dark interior of the room.

"He bruised Natsu with just one shot!" Lucy thought covering her mouth with her hand.

"Those scales are made out of solid steel!" Happy explained.

Gajeel begins assaulting Natsu with his solid steel punches, punching his chin, his cheek and then his face.

"Keehee." Gajeel grins as Natsu gritted his teeth. Gajeel then kicked his feet at Natsu, who dodged it under the kick, which sends a gale of wind to cross the room.

"You've gotta be joking! His kick sent up a gale!" Lucy said with her hands on her skirt to keep it from being seen.

"Those steel attacks are making his attacks twice as powerful!" Happy explained grabbing a hold of Lucy's arm as his body moved with the wind.

Natsu then punched Gajeel's face with his fire encased fist. Natsu pulled back his fist which had scratches on it.

"My scales of steel render all attacks useless." Gajeel explained with a grin as Natsu step back and yelled out in pain.

"No way! His defense is increased as well?" Lucy asked in surprise.

"Natsu!" Happy called out as Natsu rolled on the ground while clutching his fist.

"It doesn't hurt! It doesn't hurt in one bit!" Natsu repeated as he rolled on the ground, causing Happy to sweat drop.

"He says…" Lucy said sweatdropping.

"Aye." Happy answered.

"Shut up!" Gajeel said as he butt head Natsu's head into the ground. "Quit playing the tough guy already!" He said as he swung down his sharper nails at Natsu, but he dodged it in time by flipping back on his feet.

"You scaly bastard!" Natsu said landing on the ground as he punches his fists together. "This will send you flying!" Natsu said as he breath a deep breath.

"Fire Dragon's—"

"Iron Dragon's—"

"That guy can use breath attacks as well?" Happy asked.

"Roar!" The both of them said as they blew their respective dragon's breath at each other.

"We're being caught up in it, 4th time." Boze said again.

"As expected from Gajeel…" Sue said as the whole room exploded. The explosion caused smoke to appear out from the giant under its neck.

"Looks like the difference between our dragon elements is becoming clear, Salamander." Gajeel said as Natsu clutched his side. "Even if your flaming breath has the power to burn an opponent to ashes, it can't leave a single mark on steel." He said as he showed his iron body that was unscathed by the Natsu's dragon breath. "But, my own breath of iron blades can slice up your body pretty damn good." He added as Natsu gritted his teeth while his body had scratches and bruises compare to Gajeel's.

"Natsu..." Lucy said.

"He's powerful!" Happy said.

Natsu grins, "Not a single mark, huh? You sure you're still not half asleep?" He asked as a big crack appears on Gajeel's face.

"It cracked!" Lucy stated in surprise.

"My flames aren't just flames, you know. Fire Dragon Fire can incinerate anything!" Natsu said as he strip of his shirt, leaving him topless. "If you don't come at me seriously, you're gonna get smashed to bits, Black Steel Gajeel. Enough measuring each other up!" Natsu said as a burst of fire ignited from him.

"Sounds good to me!" Gajeel said as a burst of wind appear out of him, reaping his shirt off.

"Measuring each other up?" One of the Phantom Lord's member said.

"They hadn't even started fighting seriously yet?" Sue asked.

"These guys are monsters!" Boze said.

"They're Dragon Slayers!" Happy said.

"T-Too amazing. And why are they both undressing?" Lucy asked awkwardly at the last part.

"Come, Black Steel Gajeel." Natsu said.

"There ain't room for two dragons in this sky. I'll strike you down, Natsu the Salamander!" Gajeel said with a grin as the two Dragon Slayers are preparing to battle seriously.

"Natsu…" Lucy said with worry.


Meanwhile, outside of the giant, the Shade Troopers travel to the sky and merged together with the other Shades to form a jellyfish-like

"Wait, wait! What's up with those hand movements?" Laki asked with a scary look.

"That's what you're worried about?" Wakaba asked.

"This isn't looking good." Macao said as the Jellyfish Form raised its fists and swung down on Fairy Tail's building.

"What do you think you're doing to our guild?" Cana asked with tears in her eyes.

"Shoot it down!" Macao shouted as everyone cast their spells at the Jellyfish Form, trying to prevent it from destroying their guild.


Then, Gajeel and Natsu punched each other fists, causing a burst of wind to appear from their assault. The two flew up towards the sky as everyone looked up at them.

"What the heck are these guys?"

"They flew!"

The two of them exchanges fists in the sky, punching each other in the face while everyone watched on.


Chamber Hall

"Hah! You tired already?" Izayoi mocked standing across from Jose who stood behind the throne behind him while the area around them had been destroyed. Rubbles scattered and thrashed the whole area while craters decorated the walls around them.

Panting, Jose tried standing up but he struggled to as his sore stomach reminded the punch he took from the blonde earlier on in their fight. His sleeves tattered and so is his robe that held holes in which he received from the punches he took from the blonde. Blood drips upon Jose's chin from his bloodied mouth as he looks at the blonde standing with a smug smirk on his face, much to his frustration. Reminding himself of the immense pain that he currently experienced, he was equally surprised that he could still stand.

"This mage…He's no ordinary mage." Jose finalized in his head as he stares at the blonde across from him, determining that the blonde was not an ordinary mage amongst the others. "No one has that amount of strength to begin with, and I never heard a spell that can cancel out other spells." He reminded as he recalled the blonde destroyed his magic spells simply by punching them, shocking him greatly since he does not know how the blonde could managed to display such actions before. "…He must have imbued himself with dragon slayer magic before our fight…" Jose concluded inwardly, thinking that the blonde had already readied himself by imbuing some type of dragon slayer magic over his fists to cancel his spells instead. As he begin to think about this, a smile started twitching over his lips as Jose was again reminded the hardness of the current battle he was experiencing. Then, a smirk begins to form over his smile as Izayoi raises an eyebrow at this.

Not a moment too soon, a burst of large magical power flows out of Jose all at once as he opens his eyes revealing black pupils and yellow irises.

"Oh, how long I've waited for this. I waited for the moment I would face an equal of my power. Excellent! Truly excellent! You are different from the others, cocky boy!" Jose smirked widely looking at the blonde who calmly stood over his spot unmoving. "And with that, I'll show you to erase that cocky personality of yours." He shouted imbuing his form with dark magic.

Standing across from Jose, Izayoi stared over at Jose's current form and allows a smirk to decorate his face as he sensed the powerful aura around Jose. Without intentionally, a burst of blue flames instantly covers the blonde as his dragon like-scales appeared more refined on his arms and cheeks. Adjusting his footing, the blonde spoke up, his excitement gradually increases by the minute.

"In truth, there was no one that last long in battle with me. But you, you can! So, for that I'll make your death quick!" Jose said as he raised his right hand to the side, making a dark ball of matter in his hand before he moved his hand over his chest and shoved it in front of him, sending a wave of ghosts to rush towards Izayoi.

"Let's see if you can try!" Izayoi said punching his fists together enlightening a blue magic sigil to appear in front of him. Looking up at Jose, Izayoi's eyes appeared narrowing before flames gathered around his right fist. Smirking, the blonde jumps ahead towards the wave of dark matter in the shape of ghosts and lightly punches at them, causing a transaction of explosion to occur in the giant hall, blowing everywhere outside and exploding the center of the giant.


"What in the world…?!" Wakaba reacted as he looks over at the giant hole permanently shown at the center of the giant. He then turns towards the dark Shades flying around before instantly disappearing, much to his shock. "What?" He looks over to his friend, Macao.

"Will you look at that? I don't know what just happened but what in the world happened?" Macao asked as Wakaba pointed his finger at the giant hole formed over the center of the giant. "Oh…Damn…"

"So that's what caused the Shades to disappear?" Cana asked walking up to both of them.

"Yeah, I think so. Do you think Master Jose…?"

"Yeah, that must be it!" Macao pointed his hand at Wakaba, a wide smile appearing over his face. "Maybe someone had beat him!"

"But the question is who?" Wakaba retorted before the sounds of gasping could be heard and the three of them looked behind them to see the whole commotion was about. At the sight that greeted them, they were amazingly astounded.


"Natsu!"

Lucy yelled as she looked at the bruised and tired Natsu, who was fighting rejuvenated Gajeel. She tried to step up to help her friend once again but the feeling of being useless crosses her mind and she found herself frowning at the thought. But as she watches her friend getting beaten by the self-proclaimed Iron Dragon Slayer, she cannot help herself to want to help. Just as she attempted to step up towards Natsu, a defining earthquake rocked the giant and Lucy steadied herself from falling. "Huh?" She then heard a loud crash from above alerting everyone in the area and Lucy watches Izayoi landed in between Gajeel and Natsu who decided to kneel down to rest himself momentarily.

Debris accompanied the blonde as Izayoi shakes his head, brushing off the debris sticking to his hair before standing up to look at the floor that decided to break apart after the explosion had causes it to break.

"Huh, I don't think it would break that easily." The blonde frowned before he looks at the floor he was currently standing. But before he could survey it any longer, Gajeel had already appeared in front of him to strike him down.

"Buzz off, will ya?!" Gajeel said as he punches his right fist towards Izayoi. But then a loud crack could be heard as a punch had buried itself in Gajeel's cheek and instantly his iron clad body breaks apart before he flew backwards to hit the concrete wall behind him and crashes into it.

"I should say the same thing to you." Izayoi said annoyingly before he looks at Natsu and offered his hand to him to which the pink haired accepts and stands up with his help. "Glad that you didn't drop dead a second later."

"What? Do you think I can't win?" Natsu asked with a smile as Izayoi shrugs before Lucy and Happy walked towards them. "Anyway, without your help, I can clearly handle him all by myself."

"Don't blame me. That guy started first so I just respond."

"Natsu! Are you okay?" Lucy asked standing behind him as she looked over his condition and breathed a relief sigh while Happy jumps up to Natsu's arms to hug him, surprising Natsu who smiled at the gesture.

"Yeah, I'm okay." Natsu replied to Lucy who smiles before she turns over to the other blonde standing next to Natsu. That is when she noticed the slight appearance change on the blonde who notices her awe look.

"It must be the scales, right?"

"Huh?" Lucy look up at him. "I-I'm sorry, I didn't know I was staring." She stuttered as she blushes from embarrassment.

"Don't worry. I'd get that a lot." Izayoi smiled playfully.

"You're really are a Dragon Slayer…" Natsu muttered as Izayoi turns his attention onto the pink haired. Soon, a wide smile appeared on Natsu's face. "You're a Dragon Slayer!"

"Someone's excited about that revelation." Izayoi raises his eyebrow knowingly while Lucy stifle a laugh and covered her mouth from laughing. After a moment, Lucy begins to speak.

"Thank you, Izayoi." Lucy thanked him as Izayoi raises an eyebrow at her before he responded by smiling.

"I don't think you should be thanking me. I'm not the one who rescued you." Lucy shakes her head at this before responding.

"No, you rescued Natsu. Without you, I don't think I can be of use without standing by the side lines all the time."

"Lucy, it's not your fault." Natsu protested as Lucy shakes her head at him before a hand patted her head, surprising her as she look up at Izayoi holding his hand over her head.

"It's not anyone's fault here from the beginning, including yours." He confidently says as Lucy stares at him with surprise. But suddenly, a release of huge magic power could be sensed as a voice shouted to which everyone nearby could hear.

"Where are you, Dragon Slayer?! We haven't finish our battle!"

At the shout, Izayoi let out a smile to slips past his lips as he lets down his hand from Lucy's head to turns towards where the voice originated. "That's my call." He said to both Natsu and Lucy as he glances behind his left shoulder before a burst of blue flames engulfed his entire being.

"Blue flames…?" Lucy thought before recalling the display of the same exact flames outside of the giant a while ago. "That was you, Izayoi?" She asked the blonde who smiles before turning away and jumps through the hole above, leaving Natsu and Lucy to stare at him in awe.

"Natsu! Lucy!" A shout resounded nearby as Natsu and Lucy looks over to see Gray, Mirajane, Elfman and Erza running towards them. "Are you two alright?" Erza asked when she stood across them as Natsu smiled widely, happy to see his friends.

"Yep, we're fine!"

"Woah, did you beat him?" Gray asked looking over to the unconscious form of Gajeel slouching against the crater formed over the wall in front of them.

"I almost beat him until he got beaten by Izayoi. With just one punch! Can you believe that?"

"I don't think you'd believe if we tell you what he did earlier." Gray said to him as Natsu raises an eyebrow at him.

"What did he-?" But as he was about to ask, he was cut off by the rumbling earthquake that shakes the giant.

At the present of the earthquake, Erzza addressed everyone.

"We should get out of here to find a safe spot."

"Yeah, I'm not a fan of drowning." Gray agreed as Mirajane pointed her hand to the way behind them.

"There's an exit where we came from. We should go before it's too late!" She said as Elfman nodded followed by everyone. With that, everyone quickly runs off to escape, forgoing the others that was present in the room.

"Did they just leave us?" Sue asked Boze.

"Yeah, we're not exactly friends, right?"

"We should get out of here."


Just as Erza and the others run out of the exit and reaches the shore nearby, a huge earthquake made itself known. They along with everyone near the guild watches as sea beneath the giant's feet rises up over the giant's height and was blown away by a huge shockwave that swept the waves off to shore. Not only that, the shockwave itself spread across the entire city of Magnolia, surprising each and every Fairy Tail guild members as they shielded themselves from the force of the shockwave. While the others had been blown away and attempting to stand up right after.

"Is everyone alright?" Erza asked turning her head to look at Mirajane who was shielded by her younger brother from the shockwave. The red head then turns to the blonde she'd gotten a hold of prior to the shockwave devastating radius. "Are you okay, Lucy?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." Lucy shakes her head and brushes her hair with her right hand. "But what about…?" She trails away as she glances behind and saw both Natsu along with Gray piling up on each other near the cliff while both of them held a dazed look. "Except them…"

"Look out!" Erza warned as she leads Lucy to safety while the others followed them.

"H-Hey, wait up!" Gray shouted back as he pushes Natsu and Happy from on top of his back. He then proceeded to support Natsu by shouldering him. "Happy!" He called out as the blue cat shakes out of his stupor before he follows Gray towards the others in a daze.

"Aye…"

When they were near a safe distance from the shore beneath, Erza looks back and saw the waves hits the cliff slightly underneath them with ferocity before she along with the others looked at the giant.

"Woah…" Natsu muttered with awe as he looks at the giant which had been destroyed halfway. The arms and the upper body part of the giant had all been destroyed and drowned into the sea. The other body parts such as the legs still stood strong while the body parts neared the waist remained intact.

"Are you kidding me?" Gray asked in disbelief. "Who…?"

"No matter. We should gather with the rest of everyone before pertaining to think about the matter." Erza commanded as Gray and Natsu looked at each other before nodding and all of them head towards their guild to meet with the rest of their guild members.

"Yipee! We beat Phantom!" With that, a lot of cheers begin to follow up after that.

"Huh?" Natsu runs up ahead from the others and he stops to look at everyone who looked up at the short old man standing in front of the guild. A wide smile crosses Natsu's face at the appearance of the old man. "Hey, Gramps!" He runs off as Lucy and the others came across an unfamiliar sight.

"Master?" Erza looked upon the Third Guildmaster, Makarov Dreyer who smiled upon Natsu who stood in front of him.

"Master. You recovered?" Mirajane asked as she and her younger brother step forward to meet Makarov.

"Yes I have. With Porulysica's help, I did." He replied as Mirajane smiled along with everyone else after hearing the news. "Anyway, I am proud to say that all of you partake in a disastrous event that would cause great collapse over our own guild and managed to gain victory over it."

"It's nothing, Gramps!" Natsu grins as Makarov smiles in turn. "But Gramps, nice going on beating Master Jose! I didn't know you had it in you to blow up that giant!"

"Yes, I would imagine that it is of no difficulty for you to battle with him." Erza stated walking up to stand behind Natsu along with Lucy.

"I appreciate your assumptions. But to tell you the truth, I did not beat him like the both of you said." Makarov answered as both Natsu and Erza looked at him in surprise.

"What did you say, Master? Is it not true?" Erza asked as Makarov shakes his head before he pointed his hand towards the individual standing at the very edge of the cliff in front of them.

"No. Shockingly, this youngster did. In fact, he singlehandedly defeated Master Jose with just a punch." Makarov speaks. "Although, I tried to apprehend him from fighting one of the Ten Wizards Saint, but he persuaded me by betting to beat him with a single punch. It's a bit arrogant—no, it's awfully arrogant of him but the kid had out rightly best him with just that." Makarov explained with a hint of proudness as everyone looks at the blonde standing over at the edge of the cliff. "The shockwave that you've experienced was a backlash of the punch." He added as everyone held an awe look on their faces at the display show of strength performed by the blonde.

As everyone stared at the blonde, Erza made a move to walk up behind him along with Lucy and Mirajane. The others watched the three as they stood behind him until Izayoi turns around halfway to meet them. A small smile plays on his lips as he stared at Erza who looks at him.

"I'd thought you'd be best suited to lead all of them out. If they stayed any longer, they'll probably wouldn't make out alive." Izayoi explained as Erza held a surprised look before she glances at the destroyed giant behind the blonde.

"So…that's why you made me leave?"

"I wouldn't for a reason. Anyway, I'd like to fight that guy alone. Even though it was interesting at first but I decided to end it after he talked a lot about destroying this guild of yours. Sorry to say but does he always talk big?" Izayoi raises an eyebrow with a knowingly smile as Erza stifle a laugh, much to everyone's surprise.

"After what happened, I reckon he is." Erza responded. "I never say this at first, but after I realized it. I forgot to say my appreciations."

"Don't. I don't need—"

"Thank you, Izayoi." Mirajane intervened as Izayoi looks at her with a quirk eyebrow while she smiles widely at him. "Without you, I don't think I'd be able to stand with my friends. And thanks to you, our guild is safe. Thank you very much." Mirajane sends a warm smile as Erza nodded in agreement followed by Lucy.

"Thank you too, Izayoi." Lucy thanked to the other blonde.

"Not you too—"

"I hope you don't mind." Lucy tilted her head with a smile as Izayoi looks at her before shaking his head with a humorous smile. Then, when he looks up he spotted a hand outstretched towards him and he looked up to see the hand belonged to none other than Erza.

"I also hope you don't mind staying here for a while. Even though I never met you but in regards to your overwhelming help on defeating our enemy, I'm indebted to you." Erza stated as Izayoi looks at her outstretched hand. "I'd assume you don't have any destinations in mind right after this?" A smile stretches across her face after she asked.

"Unfortunately so. I'd assume you could guide me around town right after this?"

"I'll take up on your offer."

"Can I go too?" Lucy asked the red head who nodded at her while Mirajane smiled at the two girls.

Mirajane then watches Erza looked up at Izayoi who smiles and accepts Erza's outstretched hand. A smile soon present itself on her face as she sent a warm smile at Izayoi.

"Welcome to Fairy Tail, Izayoi!"


Present

Crocus

Night

Pub

"What a victory that was! W-Who is he? U-Ugh… Salaman…"

"It's Salamander! Anyway, you were in the pub rather than cheering for us. And you don't even know his name!" Elfman said as the drunk Cana raised her eyebrow at him before she prompted to raise her drink in the sky.

"Hey! I was watching you! Every pub has a Lacrima Vision, okay?" She stated as Makarov held up his drink with a smile next to her table.

"Let's raise our mug to our victorious win!" He cheered loudly as everyone cheered on.

"Hey, where's Salamander? I thought he'd be celebrating with us." Levy said as Mirajane thought for a second before answering.

"He said that he'll be enjoying the night by walking. So, I assume that he's walking around the city." She answered with a smile as Levy nodded before she ask another question.

"Also, have you seen Lucy and Gray?"

"Oh. Lucy went outside earlier. I think Gray's upstairs." Mirajane answered as Levy placed her hand under her chin.

"Why would she went outside?" She asked as her eyes widen in realization. "Unless…She's following Salamander." She said as Mirajane smiled.

"I don't think she'd be like that. Maybe she took an evening stroll to take her time off from her…" She trailed off as Levy finish for her.

"Fight…" Levy finished with a frown.

"Don't worry, she just need time to herself." Mirajane assured as Levy look on at the door of the pub, where Lucy left.


Mercurius

"Majesty, the first day of the Grand Magic Games has come to an end. How was the tournament so far?" Arcadios asked kneeling in front of his Majesty.

"Yes, there were some fine magic battles. It was exciting so far. Especially with the recent guest, Salamander joining us this afternoon. His battle was by far the perfect end of the first day. I'm eager to see his upcoming battles soon. Not only he is a member of the Ten Wizard Saints but one of the most powerful mages in Earthland."

"That is true. Anyway, I have come to ask if you have any requests for the second day's battle part."

"Let's see…I'd like to see Bacchus. Would you slot him in?"

Against which team?"

"Fairy Tail's, um…The shapeshifter. I can't remember his name. 'L' something…"

"Certainly. I'll arrange it."

"I'm sure it'll make a rousing match."

"If there's nothing else, then I shall take my leave…"

"Thank you for your trouble, Captain of the Guard. Have a good rest." The Majesty said as Arcadios stood up and walked out from the room with the guards opening up the double door for him.

Just as he was far from any prying ear, he smiled as his cape wave back and forth behind him.

"I don't have time to rest, Your Majesty. Now when it's so close to completion…Hahaha…"


City

Walking through the streets of the city, Lucy couldn't help but see the moon shining down on the city with its glowing light. After the first day of the tournament ended, she and the rest of her guild walked into a bar to celebrate their apparent victory. She at first, tried to search for Salamander but he was nowhere to be found amongst the other members of Fairy Tail. Intent to search for him, she excused herself from the soon to-be party and tried to search for the mysterious mage in the city, all the while enjoying her stroll beneath the moon's light.

A smile crossed her face as she recount the events that transpire earlier. She didn't how to feel but feel grateful for the mage that saved her. She cannot forget the humiliation that she experienced in the Games but he just saved her from that, much to her apparent happiness. Add to that fact, that he brought victory for her guild at the end of the day, it made her forget the humiliation and want to celebrate with the rest of her guild. But she knew that it didn't feel right without the winner with them.

With that thought in mind, she clenched her fist in determination and look forward to find the mysterious mage in question. But not a moment too soon, she heard a commotion near her. She heard a loud breaking sound which made her rush forward and turn a sharp right corner. Just as she turned, her eyes widen as she saw Salamander standing over a drunken man that was lying on the ground. Behind them was a broken door belonged to a pub. The door laid on the ground with its hinges lying beside them, bent.

"What happen here?" She couldn't help but ask.

Turning to her, Salamander answered with amusement before he kicked the drunken man's shoulder, implying to him.

"Just knock him out a bit from destroying the whole pub. Don't worry, he's always like that." Salamander said as he look down at the wide smile that appeared on the drunken man's face. "Right, Bacchus?"

"You…really mess with my soul tonight." Bacchus answered lifting his head up, much to Salamander's amusement. "

Gripping the back of his collar, Salamander prompted to drag his drunken body behind him.

"Hey…Where we going…?" Bacchus asked with half lidded eyes.

"A way to knock you up senseless before you leave." Salamander replied before he stood in front of Lucy, who looked at Bacchus before she looked at him. "Since you already searched for me. How about we get back to the others?" He said before Lucy realized what he said.

"S-Search for you? Hah! I didn't search for you, I just decided to take a stroll." Lucy replied with warm cheeks as she avoided Salamander's stare.

"Really? I find it hard to believe that."

"W-Well, it's the truth! So, believe that." Lucy said. Her cheeks glowed redder than usual as her heart pound in her chest rapidly.

Seeing her, Salamander laughed, much to Lucy's confusion and slight anger.

"Hey, what are you laughing about? It's the truth!" Lucy said in mock anger. Suddenly, Salamander caressed her chin gently, surprising her.

"You really are beautiful, Lucy Heartfillia. Up close, that is." Salamander commented which made Lucy blushed heatedly. But then, he let down his hand from her chin before he walked past her. "But lying isn't a trade for a beautiful girl like yourself." He mocked playfully before Lucy registered what he said and turns around to look at him.

"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?" Lucy asked before she heard his laughter.

"It's what I said, Heartfillia." Salamander stated with a smile hidden under his hood, but Lucy could hear the amusement in his voice and she couldn't help but letting out a laugh before she joined him on getting back.

"Wait for me!"


Sun Bar

"What if Lucy and Gray-sama go out together in the middle of the night? There's bound to happen something!" Juvia said with a frown as she imagined her love interest with Lucy.

"Ah…Juvia…Isn't that exaggerating?" Levy smiled awkwardly with a sweatdrop.

"But what if it isn't?" Juvia asked her as Levy step back in fright from the scary gaze she was sent from her.

"Well, it isn't." Gray stated walking downstairs as Juvia looked at him with a wide smile.

"Gray-sama!" She exclaimed as she instantly hugged him, much to his embarrassment.

"Hey! Get off of me! Juvia!" Gray said trying to push her latching hands from his body. Seeing this, everyone burst out laughing at the scene. Looking at them with a mild glare, Gray shouted at them. "It's not funny, okay?" He asked before he looked at the smiles plastered on his guild members which made him smile lightly, much to Juvia's happiness of seeing him smile again.

"Juvia is so happy that you're able to smile again, Gray-sama!" Juvia thought with a smile while she hug him.

Then, the door to the pub opens up and a body burst through the door and onto the wooden ground in front of everyone. They then look up at the thrower to which they were greeted by an amusing voice.

"Looks like you're partying without me." Salamander smiled under his hood as everyone held a smile to their faces and each of them held their drinks up high.

"Cheers to Salamander!" Makarov shouted joyfully followed by everyone.

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

Smiling at the scene before her, Lucy looked at Salamander. And she noticed that he carried a charisma and aura that makes everyone happy.

Noticing her stare, Salamander glanced at her.

"What are you staring at, Heartfillia?" He asked which brought Lucy out from her thoughts before she blushed from embarrassment of being caught red handed.

"N-Nothing."

"Like I said, lying is not a trade of a beautiful girl such as you." Salamander mocked playfully walking away leaving Lucy to herself standing in front of the door.

"Hey!" Lucy glared at him for his comment, much to everyone's amusement of watching.

"So, Salamander… Who did you throw in?" Macao asked as Salamander looked at the spot where he threw Bacchus. But he wasn't there anymore.

"You're a strong drinker, huh, doll?" Bacchus's voice attracted his attention as Salamander looked to see Bacchus sitting across Cana. "Why don't we see who's stronger?" He asked putting down his glass in front of Cana.

"I don't know who you are, but you're challenging me to a drinking match?" Cana asked looking at him with a smile.

"Hey! I don't know who you are, but don't do it!" Macao warned.

"Don't let her looks fool you, that woman's a monster!" Wakaba stated.

After a while, Cana lay unconscious to the floor as Wakaba and Macao looked at her in shock. "I don't believe it!" They exclaimed as they saw Bacchus gulped down another drink before standing up.

"Ahaaaa! Ahaa!"

"Is this for real?" Max asked in disbelief.

"Someone drank Cana under the table?!"

"This is the first time I've seen Cana flat on the floor like that!"

"I'm taking this as a trophy." Bacchus said waving Cana's blue bra, which left her bare on the floor with her hands only covering her top.

"What the hell are you doing?" Macao exclaimed standing behind him with Wakaba next to him.

"Gildarts will murder you!" Wakaba said to Bacchus.

"Ahahahaha! Hi-ck!" Bacchus hiccuped as his head sway to the left and right.

"Give it back!" Macao yelled to him. "You mess with our guild…" He said as he charges towards Bacchus, who fell to the ground while dodging Macao's strike. Suddenly, Bacchus got up and his strike both Macao and Wakaba with his hands, causing them to fell backwards onto the ground. But before he could deliver the last strike, Bacchus was suddenly grabbed by the head and swiftly pushed down towards the ground, creating a crater between Macao and Wakaba, who flew back by the force of the strike.

"You really have no sense of direction when you're drunk, huh, Bacchus?" Salamander asked with a laugh before he pulled his hand back from Bacchus's head. "Typical drunk…" He commented before looking down at Bacchus, who look at him with half lidded eyes.

"You haven't change one bit…Lizard. You always mess with my soul—" Bacchus was cut off as his face was grabbed by Salamander and was lifted of the ground.

"Well, according to my soul. You don't want to piss it off too much, unless you know what's coming to you, drunkard." Salamander smirked under his hood lifting Bacchus by a hand, much to everyone's surprise. Swiftly, he pushed him down towards the crater, making it bigger while sending away debris and pieces of wood planks scattered around the bar. "Anyway, I think it's time you leave. You reek of alcohol, drunkard." Salamander stated lifting Bacchus up by the hand.

"Bacchus?" Erza called out as Bacchus lazily look at her.

"Well, if it isn't Erza…Hick! You're a fine babe as always, Hick! Anyway, I'll be joining the tournament. Because after I watched War Cry's pitiful match, my man's soul couldn't stay silent! So, under the reserve member provision, I joined the team. My soul is trembling with excitement. If we get to clash tomorrow or after, I'd like to settle things from that one time. My soul is always—Wild!" He couldn't finish his sentence as Salamander threw him out from the bar. His voice echoed throughout the night before it followed with a loud crash.

"So, you know Bacchus?" Erza asked as Salamander looked at her.

"Yeah. We met several times during my travel. That drunkard couldn't just sit still if he is with alcohol. Sometimes, he would challenge his drunk pride against mine." After he said that, everyone was beginning to listen, wanting to know his answer.

"I presume you win?" Erza asked as Salamander smirked under his hood.

"He had to wait a week to recover. Unfortunately, that's only physical. His pride on the other hand…it was broken to pieces. Ever since that, he didn't seek a fight. But he kept on his annoying streak as usual." He said as everyone looked at him in surprise, never expecting something like that to happen. They were surprise that Bacchus didn't seek a fight with him after their fight for pride.

"If that's the case then, I challenge you to a fight!" Natsu declared loudly as he stood up on a table and pointed his hand at Salamander, who turns around to leave. "Hey! Where are you going? We haven't even started yet!"

"It's getting late." Salamander replied before he took a drink from one the tables and held it up for everyone to see. "Cheers for Fairy Tail." He declared. "Never stop protecting each other and never give up, alright? Because that's who we are from the beginning. We are, Fairy Tail." He stated with a smile that could be seen by everyone before he walked out into the night, leaving everyone to stare at the opened door.

"That's a good wake up speech by the Sixth Guildmaster." Makarov said as Mirajane and Lisanna look at him in shock, followed everyone who didn't know about that piece of information.

"H-He's the Sixth Guildmaster?" Natsu asked in shock.

"When did he became the Guildmaster?" Lucy asked.

"How didn't we know about that?" Erza questioned.

"Is he really?" Mirajane asked covering her mouth in surprise.

Seeing the reactions, Macao couldn't help but scratched his neck in embarrassment.

"Sorry. I forgot to tell you ever since I got here. I was surprise that he even came to join in the Grand Magic Games." Macao explained as everyone look pointedly at him, causing him to shrunk down while avoiding their stares. "So I thought I wouldn't share that information…yet."

"He's the Sixth Guildmaster?" Lucy thought as she looked at the opened door where Salamander left. "That's a surprise."


Crocus City

After he left, Salamander choose to sit on a roof somewhere, a few blocks from the pub itself, where his guild members were.

Perching on top of the building, Salamander gazes at the stars above. His legs dangled under the edge while his elbows perched onto his knees. A smile plays beneath his hood as he recalled familiar faces that he gotten to meet after a while. But just as he was reminiscing, three individuals appeared out of thin air behind his back. Without so much as hesitation, his nonchalant voice came into hearing.

"I'm guessing you're here because of little ole me, huh?" Salamander turns his head sideways as the three individuals recognisable as Jellal, Ultear and Meredy watched a smirk fondly appears beneath his hood. "But is that all the reason you're here for? I'm guessing not." His nonchalant voice surprises Jellal who stares at the hooded man before voicing his own opinion.

"Then I guess you know the answer as to why we're here. Is that correct?"

"Was it because you lost your chance to fight in the first place?" Immediately Jellal was thrown off guard.

"Huh?"

"You were supposed to fight Jura in the first place instead of me, correct?"

"…" Jellal stared at him with a slight scrunched look along with a small frown while Meredy covered her mouth to suppress the humor she felt. She then glances at Ultear who catches her glance and followed along with a playful smile.

"I don't get why you feel bad about it. I mean, you get to fight an opponent later on. Everyone has a chance. So why you want to prove yourself so much in the games, Mystogan? Or should I call you, Jellal?" At the names he mentioned, Jellal's eyes widen in surprise along with Ultear and Meredy. "So let me ask you this, what's your intention on joining the games in the first place? I doubt you joined in for the fun of it even if there's no real challenge."

"What are you talking about?"

"Zeref." At the name spoken, Jellal narrowed his eyes at the name before proceeding to question.

"What do you mean?"

"You heard what I said. Do you have any clues as to his whereabouts?"

"Why are you asking?"

"If not, I'd have to kill you for it." Salamander answered lastly with no expression as darkness clouded his hood from showing any. At that moment, both Ultear and Meredy stood in front of Jellal in an act if protection. Suddenly, laughter resounded from Salamander as both Ultear and Meredy shared a long glance before proceeding to relax from their fighting stance. But the moment was cut off as they along with Jellal felt a presence behind them.

Glancing behind him, Jellal sees Salamander standing behind his back with his hands pocketed. Jellal turns back to the person's previous position only to find out the empty air that replaced him. No words can described the slight sensation of fear creeping up on him.

"I guess you don't know anything about Zeref by now. Shame but I'd have to live with that." Salamander stated as Jellal listened. "Anyway, I'd doubt he would appear here. But if he did, then the real fun will begin."

"What are you talking about, Salamander?"

"What are you saying for a change? I'm gonna fight him. What are you thinking off?"

"It can't be that simple of your intention."

"Is everything simple?" Salamander answered before Jellal's eyes turns back to see the empty spot replacing the hooded man.

"What…?" Jellal utters beneath his breath as he stares at the empty spot before proceeding to look at his subordinates who turned to face him.

"Jellal, how does he know your identity?" Ultear asked narrowing her eyes as Jellal looks down at the roof, a frown evident on his face. "Anyway, your cover has been blown. There's no choice for us to continue this operation."

"No. We'll continue." Jellal cut as Ultear looks at him. "I sense your confusion but he will not expose our identities as of late."

"How do you know he will not?" Jellal looks at Meredy before answering.

"I know he will not." He then turns to face Ultear who stares at him before reluctantly nodded. Nodding to her, Jellal looks up at the lit up skies and hoped deeply that what they were doing was not waste of effort.


Streets

Reappearing into one of the nearby streets, Salamander stood out in the open without moving. Sighing, the hooded man started to walk before he stops and senses something amiss. He glances behind at the presence he felt nearby before it instantly disappears just as it appears.

"What…?" Salamander mutters out of confusion. "This magic…"

"Sixth?" A voice called out as Salamander turns to the blonde girl standing in front of him. "What are you doing here? Why aren't you celebrating with the others?" Mavis smiled as she asked.

"I already did and that's also why I'm here. But anyway, it's strange that you're here, First. I'd thought you celebrated with them at the pub."

"I don't think they might find me entertaining. So I left."

"You're as normal as anyone in Fairy Tail. That's no exception, though." Salamander explained surprising Mavis. "You should go before the party's over. You don't want my celebratory victory to be wasted, right?" He asked as Mavis watches a smile appears underneath his hood. She then watches him walking pass her before patting her head. "You are after all Fairy Tail's First Guildmaster. Enjoy it while you can." He advised nonchalantly before walking away leaving Mavis standing in the streets alone.

After he left, Mavis turns around to look at where he left and stares at the empty street beyond her, curiosity evident on her face.


Infirmary

"What did you see?" Porlyusica asked sitting in front of Carla, a white Exceed. Laying next to her was Wendy who was still unconscious.

"Like always, it was just fragments, but I saw…" Carla touched the side of her head with her right paw. "A white knight…A giant magic circle…"

"Anything else?" Porlyusica asked.

"A sight that I couldn't believe…"

"What was it?"

"Mercurius collapsing…while someone was singing inside…it was Lucy…and then…a wide burst of blue lit up the world like no other…"


Morning

"And now, what you've all been waiting for, the second day of the Grand Magic Games has begun!" At the statement, the crowd erupted into cheers. "Our guest on this second day is renowned reporter for the Weekly Sorcerer, Jason-san!"

"Cool!"

"Okay, the competition part has already begun! And its name is…Chariot! The competition takes place on top of a line of vehicles, with the idea being to reach the goal without falling off! As the vehicles are always moving, just one moment of carelessness could lead to a misstep! The vehicles will wend their way around the sightseeing spots of Crocus, but which team will arrive here at Domus Flau?! Everyone in the stadium, you can watch the race here on Lacrima Vision!"

"Cool!" Jason stated as everyone watches the Lacrima Vision. The Fairy Tail members who stood in the stadium looked upon the representatives of their guild.

"At any rate, Yajima-san, who could have predicted this turn of events?!"

"Why did Natsu sign up for this?!"

"You'd think he would've been able to tell what kind of event it was from the name, Chariot!" Lucy said with a small frown.

"Once he made up his mind to do it, he doesn't listen."

"He probably thought he'd be fighting the chariots themselves…"

"Oh my! Way in the rear is a groggy-looking Natsu from Fairy Tail A! And that's not all! Right in front of him is Gajeel from Fairy Tail B and even Sting from Sabertooth, all moving like molasses!" Suddenly the whole crowd erupted into confusion. "What do you think is the matter, Yajima-san?

"I suppose the three of them have something in common."


Sun Bar

"Is this really the time to have a council meeting?" Salamander asked himself sitting on the bench of the pub. He looked around the empty bar, knowing that every member had gone to watch in the stadium. Even the bartender was absent since he took the morning off from constantly serving Fairy Tail's drinks all night. He had told the bartender that he would borrow the pub to which he graciously complied and complimented him for his win on the first day of the Games before he left.

A sigh escaped through his mouth as Salamander suppress his annoyance of the soon to-be meeting, knowing what they would discuss. "This better doesn't waste my time…" He stated in annoyance before he held his hand and a big yellow magic circle appeared over his palm. Then, projections of the Ten Wizard Saints appeared in front of him as Salamander look at them.

"So, what will the topic be today?" He started as the members look at each other before they finally gave their answer to him.

"You're involvement with Fairy Tail. By joining them in the Grand Magic Games rather than doing it yourself." One of the members stated clearly.

"This isn't supposed to be of concern to you."

"It is a matter. We were told that you were supposed to be representing as the Four Gods of Ishgar, Salamander-sama. But instead, you chose to be in Fairy Tail, representing them now."

"It was a decision that I chose to make."

"He has decided already. Nevertheless, we should respect his decision." Warrod stated to the others as the Saint members suppress their dissatisfaction before they focused onto their leader in command.

"Back to the topic that I wanted to discuss." Salamander stated before his voice took on a serious change, causing the Saint members to focus their full attention to him. "Have you seen any sightings or heard any recent rumors of the Black Mage?"

"Recently no. We haven't. The public are focusing onto the Grand Magic Games indoors rather than focusing onto the whereabouts of the Mage. Even if there were any sightings of him, we would've guessed that he would not present himself to the large population of people in public. Instead, he would stay in one place before setting his time to go from one place to another. That time of course, where no one would suspect him or even noticed him."

"I've already known that he's in hiding. But now, I want to find where he is and you just gave me excuses that is wasting my time? That isn't a smart move." Salamander said with a frown as the member gulped down his nervousness of hearing his leader's comment. "Anyway, are there other reports you want to give?" He asked to all of the present members, to which they didn't respond to him after a while. "Then, this meeting is adjourned." He said before he disconnect the line, causing the magic circle to disappear.

Sighing to himself, he stood up from the bench. "Just a waste of my time." He commented to the useless meeting before activating the Lacrima Vision on top of the table nearby. But then, he recounted the time where he sensed Zeref's magic last night, he thought deeply of the subject before recalling the presence that was nearby him. But just as he sensed it, the presence faded away instantly. "Just who…?" Salamander questioned before a voice cried out from the Lacrima Vision. He looks up to see none other than Natsu and Gajeel's faces.

"Don't cry about that one point later, kid!" Gajeel smirks behind at Sting who stood behind him and Natsu as they crawled forward. Sting watches them in a moment of silence before raising his voice.

"Would you answer me one thing? Why did you decide to participate in the tournament? I wouldn't believe you were the same Fairy Tail from back in the day. Are you worried about the strength of your guild? About your public image? The Fairy Tail I know were more like…they did everything at their own pace…They didn't give a damn about what people thought of them."

"For…their friends…" Natsu utters as Sting appeared surprised. "Ever since I joined…no one…no one died. People got hurt but they didn't die...But! There was one who did…" Natsu gritted his teeth more as tears registered at the corner of his narrowing eyes. "He died for us…Seven years…He's gone that long and we can't do anything about it…But the others, they were…waitin' for us...No matter how painful it was…No matter how sad…We kept on moving. Even if people made fun of 'em…The others held on…They held on...They protected the guild…for their friends…" Natsu said as silence overcomes him. "Izayoi…If he's still here, he would have been trilled! But he isn't here, so now we're gonna show everyone…the proof that Fairy Tail's been walking on all this time! So we should keep on going! For them and for Izayoi's sake!"

"You really are that determined…" Salamander crosses his arms as he watches Natsu told everyone determinedly. A small smile could be seen underneath the hood as he watches the event transpiring in front of him. "Nothing seems to change, that's for sure..." He said as he then watch Natsu fell down onto the ground after crossing the finish line.

"Goal! Natsu of Fairy Tail A, 2 points for sixth place!"

"Yeah…I got points for the guild…" Natsu utters before Gajeel fell down beside him.

"Gajeel of Fairy Tail B, 1 point for seventh place!"

"They're tenacious, I'll give them that." One of the audience said to the other sitting next to him.

"Yeah. Wow…"

"That is Fairy Tail…" After those comments, the people in the stadium started clapping for them.

"Good going, Fairy Tail!"

"I'm gonna be rooting for you guys from now on!"

"And Sabertooth's Sting gets 0 points for dropping out!"

Meanwhile in one of the corridor hallway, Sting walked along the path before he dully stopped. "For their friends? What nonsense…" Sting glared ahead of the corridor.


And that is it for chapter 7, ladies and gentlemen! I hope all of you are satisfied! Anyway, I have read all of your reviews and I decided I will skip a bit of the episodes because I really don't have much time. I really wanted to cover for the missing time I have absent from updating this story. So, I hope you will be patient for the next chapter.
