Misaki looked around at all of the competitors. Lyon from Lamia Scale, Milliana from Mermaid Heel, Bachuus from Quatro Ceberus (they changed they're name back already), Eve from Blue Pegasus and finally, the one she was participating for, Rogue from Sabertooth.

She smirked. "Lets have some fun."

"ALRIGHTTT! HERE WE HAVE ALL THE PARTICIPANTS! THE FIRST COMPETITION WILL BE THE MAZE OF DARKNESS!"

Misaki's smirk grew even wider. Perfect. This was perfect for her. She was brought up to do this. Like, literally. She was brought up to face darkness.

She could hear muttering and nervous murmurs. She snuck a look at Rogue only to see humor and interest in his eyes.

"Hm. I'll show him who really is the slayer of darkness."

Suddenly, the whole arena started rumbling as the maze came up from underground. The audience gasped as the maze came into full view. It was humongous and pitch black. The lacrima screens were showing everything in night vision. The participants couldn't see anything at all as it was so dark. It also didn't help that the maze was black. Misaki lounged at the edge of the maze watching them stumble around.

"Poor souls. I could take all of them out right now if I wanted, but that wouldn't be much of a show." She thought sympathetically to herself.

At this point Lyon knocked out Milliana with an ice make: Tiger while a small ice mouse distracted her.

"OH MY! MILLIANA IS OUT OF THIS COMPETITION! MERMAID HEEL IS OUT!"

Bachuus was repeating "Can't see my booze, can't see my booze, GUYS I CAN'T FIND MY FUCKING BOOZE!" only to be knocked out moments later by Eve. Lyon and Eve faced each other off.

"OH MY! ICE VERSUS SNOW! WHICH WILL WIN! ALSO, WE HAVENT SEEN ANYTHING FROM THE TWO DRAGON SLAYERS! ARE THEY WAITING FOR THE LAST MOMENT TO KNOCK EACH OTHER OFF?!"

Misaki sighed in annoyance as she heard that, the commentor really was annoying.

"Enjoying the show?" came a voice from the shadows.

Misaki spun around in her battle form. "Finally showed yourself, huh?"

"OH MY! WHILE THE INTENSE BATTLE OF ICE AND SNOW IS GOING ON, THE TWO DRAGON SLAYERS COME FACE TO FACE!" WHAT WILL HAPPEN?"

"Heh, I'd really like to fight but I really want the audience's attention solely on us so they can see me kick your ass. You take the snow one and I'll take the ice one." Misaki nodded to him.

Rogue just hmphed and a shadow came off him smashing into Eve's chest and making him fly backwards and slammed into a wall. At the same time Lyon flew backwards by something that no one could see.

"WOWWW! BOTH OF THEM ARE OUT. THE DRAGON SLAYERS REALLY WANT OUR ATTENTION! LETS SEE THIS BATTLE OF THE SHADOW AND DARK DRAGON SLAYERSSS!"

The audience screamed in excitement as they watched.

Misaki looked at him as her eyes turned red.

"Get rea-"

She got cut off as Rogue started attacking her over and over with ruthless punches to the gut.

"OH MY! THIS LOOKS LIKE A ONE SIDED FIGHT!"

From up in the stands, Laxus merely smirked.

"She really shouldn't play with her opponents." He muttered in amusement.

"SHADOW DRAGON'S BREATH, SHADOW DRAGON'S PUNCH, WING SLASH OF THE SHADOW DRAGON!"

Rogue kept hitting Misaki over and over. He delivered the final blow to her face as she slammed into the wall, breaking it.

Her body lay there lifeless and unmoving as Rogue looked at her with his usual mask.

"OH MY, SHES NOT EVEN MOVING! DOES THIS MATCH GO TO SABERTOOTH?"

"Oi. Don't jump to conclusions."

Rogue's eyes widened as he looked up. There sat Misaki swinging her legs and waving at him.

"I must say, quite impressive. Well, lets start then."

The unmoving body of Misaki on the ground poofed and disappeared.

"DON'T TELL ME…. ROGUE WAS ATTACKING MISAKI'S FAMOUS SHADOW CLONE?"

Rogue stared at her trying to keep a composed face, but truth to be told, he was pretty shaken up.

Misaki unleashed her magic power and her dark magic channeled through her body.

"Unbelievable, can you feel that magic power?"

"What is this magic?"

Murmurs were heard through the crowd.

Rogue looked at her. Magic power started flowing through his body.

Misaki's eyes widened. Dragon Force.

Black markings appeared all over his body as he emitted a deadly magic aura. However, so was Misaki.

The both of them faced each other, each giving off a tremendous amount of magical power.

"I guess I'll make the first move then. Pillar of darkness!"

Magic seals appeared underneath Rogue and suddenly dark magic shot out of the ground and at him. He flew up into the sky from the blast and plummeted back down. He smashed into the ground creating a crater. Straightaway, through the dust he shot back up and hit Misaki hard in the gut, throwing her back a few good meters. This continued for a while, with blows being exchanged by the dragon slayers.

They stood a few meters apart breathing heavily and stared at each other.

"You can't beat me, Fairy." Rogue snarled.

"Ah. But you see, you might be able to use shadows, but I am the darkness."

With those words said, Misaki vanished into the darkness.

Rogue looked around, trying to catch a glimpse of the dark dragon slayer.

"What's wrong, your shadows can't protect you?" she whispered in his ear and disappeared right after.

He spun around and growled. She was too quick. Suddenly, he got an idea. He stopped moving and closed his eyes, breathing deeply. He let out waves of magical energy once at a time and waited for it to bounce back. This way, he can find her position. His snake-like eyes flashed open.

"Found you."

A shadow wrapped itself around Misaki's ankle and pulled, tripping her. Rogue towered over her as she cursed.

"Its not lady-like to cuss."

"I can do what I want." She spat.

"As you wish. How about you give up then. You can't use the darkness anymore, I can sense you with my magic waves."

Misaki sat there, hair shadowing her eyes. Suddenly, a smirk appeared on her lips.

"Oh yeah? Well when you were destroying my clone, I was watching how you move, your characteristics and when you use your attacks. All in all, I know exactly what you are going to do."

Rogue looked taken aback.

"Now that you are confused, the shadows should loosen, so… DARK LOCK!"

A bubble of darkness swallowed Rogue and stopped any movement coming from him. The shadows bound around Misaki's ankle snaked away. Suddenly, Rogue started squirming and screamed in agony. Misaki looked at him sympathetically.

"Dark lock sucks your magic energy. You can't escape it unless you unleash a lot of magic power at the same time. But I doubt you have enough. Also, if you let loose just a bit less than you were supposed to, it will suck all of it up. I don't usually do this in a match, but I want this to end quickly."

Rogue's body became limp in the dark lock. The darkness disappeared and he dropped to the ground. Misaki smiled in satisfaction. Its over.

"It was nice fighting you Rogue Cheney."

She turned and was about to walk away when shadows quickly bouded her arms and legs together.

"Nani?" she gasped.

"I'm a shadow dragon slayer. I eat shadows." Rogue deadpanned.

The shadows bound around her tighter and tighter. Soon, she was gasping for air.

Suddenly, from beneath him, darkness erupted and Misaki vanished once again. Another shadow clone.

Rogue flew up and slammed into the ground, creating yet another crater. This time, he didn't get up.

Misaki smirked from behind him.

"You were impressive, Rogue Cheney, but you cannot beat me at my own game, for I am the darkness itself." She announced before walking away.

"OH MY! THE BATTLE IS OVER, AND WHAT A BATTLE IT WAS! THE WINNER IS MISAKI OF FAIRY TAIL! FAIRY TAIL GETS 10 POINTS!"

The audience erupted into cheering and chanting Misaki's name.

Laxus grinned at this.

"Told you they would love you." He said as she walked past him.

She smiled before being bombarded by Natsu telling her how amazing she was.

"Rogue Cheney… I hope I will get to fight you again someday." Misaki thought to herself and smiled.
