Things were going more or less to plan. Two months had come and gone quickly. They had marked on their calendar all the dates they needed to remember and take action in. They still had three more years before Ruby's parents got hit by the car, nine more years before Akasha was killed by Alucard, and destroying Fairytail was always going to be a work in progress. They were living with the other people in the contest that Tsukune had gotten into. Tsukune had thankfully not been killed when he and Kokoa had to share a room; of course he has to sleep on the floor.

It was to show who the top fighter was and who was just a snack. His name was getting more and more know. Tsukune just wished they didn't know him as 'boy scout'. Kokoa would talk to different people at the fights to learn more about where all the subdivisions of Fairytail were. She did it in such a sly way they almost didn't know if she was really asking that. Tsukune, on the other hand, was asking the fighters what they thought of Fairytail.

He was getting a good idea who would follow him in his mad quest. While looking at the map to locate all the buildings of the subdivisions they remembered about Marin Kawamoto, San's mother figure, and how her husband died. They both agreed that if they were changing their friends' fate they should change her life story too. They would worry about her in twelve years. If it was even a problem anymore, hopefully they had already token down Fairytail and the siren that did the harm.

Tsukune walked into one of the common room of the building. The building had many rooms for the fighters to sleep in, two common rooms, two large bathrooms that had stalls and showers, a training room, and a large kitchen. It was almost like living in a dorm room in college, but in this school everyone is trying to kill you. He half laughed as he thought of Yokai Academy in comparison. Some men were playing pool, others were just sitting on the couch watching TV, and girls where leaving to the other common room stating that this one was full of pigs.

"Hey, you're, uh, Boy Scout, right?" Someone yelled out and everyone let out a chuckle.

Tsukune rubbed the back of his neck, "Yeah, that's me."

He had cut his hair short like when he had first gone into Yokai Academy. Kokoa said it really suited his fighting name's persona. He couldn't help but notice how much he had changed from when he was fifteen. His hair and one of his eyes was now a grayish-blackish color thanks to the human modification, but even then he didn't look as intimidating as the men in the room. Kokoa told him that that was a good thing since they would underestimate him and they would get cocky.

"How old are you fourteen?" One joked, "You are going to be food."

"Did they think that you got beat so badly it was funny and put you here for us to toy with?"

"Man, whoever gets to fight you will have an easy win."

"Yeah that luck bastard! I want to fight you and move on quickly."

"Don't die too quickly," another said, "You want to at least live a little longer so we can laugh louder."

"I'm seventeen," Tsukune smiled, "and whoever fights me better be prepared for a good beat down."

The men laughed, "Sure thing kid!"

Tsukune and the rest of the consistence gathered up for the lineup order.

"First round is always the best; you show what you're made of." Someone said patting Tsukune's back.

Tsukune looked on the board. He was up against someone named Terminator.

"Strong or intimidating names usually leads to a cocky opponent," He remembered Kokoa telling him, "He or she will probably have brute strength, so you'll have to outsmart them or use their strength against them. "

Tsukune took a deep breath. He had won fights before, but if he won this underground fighting contest his name would be known and he'd get the offers he wanted. He'd be able to not only join Fong-Fong's mafia, but start other groups of rebels.

"No one rebels without a strong cause unless they have a strong leader and if they have both more people will join because it's almost like an unstoppable force." Kokoa had told him and smiled, "We can have a catchy slogan too. What about: Start hope before there is too much fear."

There were six rounds and they'd be fought and won in that day. There were at least two hundred men competing and Tsukune knew that some were going to be near impossible to beat. The boast confidence he got though was the fact that he was already doing the impossible, he had traveled back in time, he had survived in a monster high school as a human, and he had already made it this far in such little time. He smiled and felt himself relax. He was going to change everything and try to make it better along with Kokoa.

I'm going to ask that you have mercy on me with the next chapter because it will only be the second time I've written a fight scene. I'm not exactly the best at it, but I'm not the worst either. Any who, I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
