A/N What's up homies? Okay I'll never do that again. Sorry. Anyways, here is day one of the GCG and I can already tell that I'm going to suck at writing the challenges. For the rest of the GCGs it will be canon character-centric and we get to see some romance. I don't own Fairy Tail!
"Here is our clan line up for today; we have Blue Pegasus," Jenny clapped her hands in excitement while observing her team mates as the stadium began to shake. Blue Pegasus came out of a side tunnel with small waves and bright smiles. They were always a crowd favorite.
"Next is Fairy Tail…B?" Chapati asked with a confused glances at his other commentators. Nevertheless, people went wild for the angels' calm exteriors. They had it all planned; they were the cool, distant team and Fairy Tail A would be the sweet and lovable group.
"Technically, this is allowed. Every Clan can send two teams to the Grand Clan Games. I wonder what Makarov is playing at here," Yajima clarified for the still confused announcer.
"Next is Quatro Cerberus and coming in after them is Lamia Scale!" Jenny announced casually; she didn't want Fairy Tail getting any more attention than necessary. They already are practically worshipped, despite having less than twenty members.
"Following is . . .Raven Tail?! Weren't they accused of helping revive Zeref?" Chapati's eyes were bugging out of his skull. Many gasps were heard through the silent crowd and from Fairy Tail A's spot, Mira had her fists clenched. Lucy was rubbing comforting circles on her back and Kira looked on sympathetically from her place next to Anarchy. The reserve members were in the stands with the soulmates and Makarov. Leo and Bixlow were also up there speaking to their soulmates.
"Apparently they were just released of all charges with no punishment. That is quite bizarre, but look at that! Mermaid Heel is here and fiercer than ever. Kagura is still as strong as usual," Yajima added lightly; his old eyes filled with mirth.
"Here they are: Fairy Tail A!" Chapati fell out of his seat from all of his bouncing as the Fairy girls came into the arena with kisses and waves. If the crowd was energetic earlier, now it was insane. Dust was rising from all the stomping the audience was doing.
"It appears that Fairy Tail A already has a strong start," Jenny stated, dryly. The other two hosts looked at Miss Fiore with amusement in their eyes.
"Finally, a new guild that was created two years ago: Sabertooth." Yajima finished the introductions; seeing as one announcer was still a twitching mess on the floor and the other was still scowling at Fairy Tail. The audience cheered again while Fairy Tail was anything but happy. They heard the rumors about Sabertooth; Their Clan master was an evil power hungry man that would stop at nothing- not even death- to win. Once the crowd settled, Mato appeared again. Somehow he was floating in midair without his wings.
"Welcome to the Grand Clan Games and here is our first challenge; it's called Card Keeper. May all Clans select a representative," Mato finished politely. Sabertooth was the first to step forward and they picked Rogue Cheney. As soon as Sting saw this, he snapped his neck around to look at the unofficial team captain- Jellal.
"This one's mine," Sting said with no room for argument. Everyone on the team looked at him oddly but let the dragon slayer fly into the competition ring anyway. Next in was Milliana from Mermaid Heel, then Warcry from Quatro Cerberus, after that was Flare from Raven Tail, then Eve from Blue Pegasus, next was Lyon representing Lamia Scale, and finally Mira volunteered for her team.
"Now that we have our contestants, I can explain the rules. Everyone will be released into a simulated town where you will be handed a card. On the card will be a compass that guides you to a great fear of yours. Once you reach your fear, you must capture it in the card or you will automatically be put at the bottom of the scoreboard. If any other player touches your card or attacks your fear, then you will both lose three points. The objective is to capture your fear first. Any questions? Good, let's begin!" Mato explained quickly and Mira prepped herself. From the small Fairy Tail box, the others were cheering on their teammates loudly. Even the Earthland soulmates seemed to understand they needed to cheer. Despite them being shell shocked at the sight of Wendy, they knew that answers could wait.
"Who's that girl going for Fairy Tail A?" A ruff voice spoke in Lucy's ear and she smirked before turning around. The action made the shining staff on her back rattle slightly and brought attention to the golden whip at her side.
"That's Mirajane. She's an angel that uses Angel Soul magic and she is your angel soulmate." Lucy laughed at Laxus' shocked (A/N hahahahahaha get it? Shocked…. lightning …never mind) expression. He stumbled over to his seat in a daze while Lucy turned back to the challenge. Mira was running gracefully and didn't waste a single step. Meanwhile, Sting was trying to get as close to the Sabertooth mage, Rogue, as he could without getting off course. In the arena, Mira risked a glance back down to her compass. It pointed a silver arrow to the left and around a corner. After that it morphed; the compass hand was gone and in its place was an empty circle, telling her to be ready to capture her fear. Her eyes darted wildly around the small fountain square she ended up at. Nothing. Just when she was about to turn her attention back down to the card, the air around her shifted. Pouring a little magic into her cloak, Mira pulled it tightly around her.
"So you aren't always useless," The wind said mockingly.
"Show yourself!" Mira demanded in a confident tone. It conflicted with her shaky palms and erratic heartbeat.
"If you wish..," The wind trailed off as it gathered in front of Mira with a feral grin. Apparently, that wasn't all the wind had planned and then it changed into a different face that nearly made Mira drop her card.
"Do you prefer his face? After all shape shifting is MANLY." He laughed harshly. The wind shifted again and the fear was now a giant man with snow white hair.
"You have no right to use Elfman's face!" Mira snarled viciously as she struck blindly. The fear easily moved out of the way and punched Mira back.
"And you have no right to speak his name. Aren't you he reason he can't guard his soulmate?" The fear mocked again. From outside the ring, Fairy Tail was watching Mira anxiously. In the front of the box Lucy and Laxus leaned over as far as they could. Lucy because she was Mira's best friend and Laxus because… well he didn't even know himself.
A/N cliffhanger! -Ish. Well, we got some Mira-centric chapters coming up and I hope I portrayed her right! I always thought of her as a demon when it came to messing with her siblings. What did she do though? Find out next chapter! Sorry this is so late I was busy with projects and tests.
