Ehh, Aeris here.

Finally, we'll be out of OC fillers. Eh, first few chapters will be the Grand Magic Games, the year after Marine Storm won again. I'll only be writing for the last event of the GMG, the battle royal.

PS: There's gonna be Japanese here. It refers to a foreign language, and Japanese sounds coolest, so ehh~

"And finally, we have come to the final event for this Grand Magic Games! So far, Marine Storm is in the lead with 56 points, Destiny Crown in the second place with 52 points and Rising Wing in third with 48 points! This battle royal will finally decide which place these three guilds will place in the Grand Magic Games! Will it be Marine Storm, allowing them to hold their title for another year, Destiny Crown, giving them a third victory, or Rising Wing, giving them their first victory?! Terrified of their power though, the other guilds have resigned, so it will be a battle between these three guilds!" The announcer excitedly shouted into the mic, allowing everyone to hear the resounding voice, it reverberating in the large stadium.

"In the East, we have Destiny Crown! The members, Styles Kaizu, Hotaria Kanvenei, Grant Kingston, Alex Percival and Shelltear Snowdrop!" Those five members appeared on the screen, provided through usage of magic lacrima. The confident members were cheered by many of their fans in the crowd watching the battle.

"In the West, we have Rising Wing! The members, Aer Crestfel, Naftis Calamite, Lacy, Seth Strauss and Samuel Northrybe!" Also cheered on by many fans, the five, both young and old, smiled the brightest they could. They were confident as well, hoping to finally win the Grand Magic Games for once.

"And in the North, we have Marine Storm! The members, Natsumi Cross, Lucio Alvaréz, Florence Lancaster, Shin Raishi and Lina Miyori!" Cheered on by most, if not all, of the crowd members, the guild confidently stepped forward, prepared to win again for their guild, maintaining their winning streak for this year too.

"And in the battle will begin in 3… 2…" Suspense built up, butterflies in all the fighter's stomachs, but not once did they hesitate, doubt or worry. They all looked forward, and started running in a direction the instant the counter went down after a second.

"1!" The announcer exclaimed, the counter for the guilds also telling them to begin. Thus, the camera changed areas, focusing on Styles, who quickly met up with Aer, and begun their battle.

"Aer Crestfel, one of the strongest magic users in the world? Pleasure to meet you," Styles blatantly greeted the young boy, who giggled and smirked.

"There's no need for greetings, Styles, for that will only ensure your loss, wasting time," Aer sang out, lightning striking the area in which Styles stood, the bolts of charged light being easily dodged by the older male.

"You have a blind spot," Styles smirked, and appeared behind the young boy, sending a signal to the blood within the latter, planning to control it.

"Ah, Jupiter's Light. Bless me and protect me, form a barrier to shield me from filth," Aer chanted, activating 'Surge Barrier' with the chant, protecting him from Styles' magic.

"I heard magic associated with light can protect me from your magic, I didn't think lightning would do, but I'll accept it," Aer jumped back, avoiding the attack from Styles' blade, formed from 'Blade of Essence'.

"Lightning Greatblade, come to me!" With that, Aer also summoned his sword, and parried the next hit from the crimson red blade wielded by Styles.

"Monster of the Minds," Styles quickly casted the spell, beginning to sap blood from Aer while the latter fought an imaginary beast.

"I don't think so!" Aer quickly broke through the illusion, no harm evident on his body, "Don't underestimate me!"

"This time I have an advantage," Styles smirked, having casted 'Aiera', black angel wings spread out behind him, allowing flight. Using the flight to his advantage, Styles gained speed and charged at Aer, his wings glowing. The wings, seemingly become blades, were parried by Aer's greatblade, but with nothing on hand to block Style's blood made sword, Aer was slashed and thrown back, hitting a building.

"Form Change, Lightning Rapier!" Aer shouted out, the glistening greatblade changing shape, forming into a long rapier, which Aer held as if it was a javelin. Turning his body about ninety degrees, he prepared to launch the rapier towards the flying male as if it was his 'Indra's Arrow'. Charging the rapier with more lightning, the rapier soon became just like the 'Indra's Arrow', except much weaker. Letting fly the blue lightning-charged rapier, towards the winged, airborne Styles, Aer then formed another weapon in his grasp, both of his hands each holding a dagger, charged with electricity, blue lightning orbiting the short blades.

"You think that would hit me? Don't underestimate me either," Styles easily dodged the rapier, only to be greeted by Aer, the charged daggers aimed right at Styles' vital points for movement, Aer hoping to immobilize and defeat the blood magic user. Though Styles was only milliseconds away from being stabbed and electrocuted, in the little time, he had cut his arm with the blade he had constructed out of blood, and he formed a shield to protect himself from the inevitable electrocution, possibly fatal injury.

With a push on the shield, Aer was thrown back yet again, landing on the roof of an uninhabited building. Of course, though, all the houses in this magic simulation were uninhabited. Aer then began charging the weapon he wielded with electricity, preparing to change its form. In the blink of an eye, a giant sword flew past only centimetres away from Styles' face. The small blades had been reconstructed into a cleaver. With many more swings of the large and wide blade, Styles had been injured by the maniac swings, with lesser accuracy than a sniper with no aim.

"This battle is never-ending," Styles said, forming a shield, and pushing Aer far away.

"Shit…!" Aer shouted out as he flew many metres away, but landed safely on the ground, stopping himself through use of friction. Swiftly looking around, Aer noticed the figures of two people, close together. Smirking, Aer approached them, running towards the two figures.

Stopped through the pain of realisation, it was just then that Aer froze in his tracks. The sight in front of him pained his heart severely. Barely hearing the faint voices of the two before him, he eavesdropped on both of them, neither of them noticing his appearance.

"Shelltear, get away from me," Naftis stoically demanded, the girl only dragging his face closer to hers in reply.

"Oh just make me, Naftis," Shelltear replied, only to be attempted to be pushed away, though the male's hands and feet were bound by ice.

"This is.., Why?" Aer muttered in disbelief, clenching his teeth.

"なぜあなたはこれを行うのですか？私の心が痛い...だから...私はすべての人を殺します。これはあなたが私がこれを行うことによって行う作ったものです。私は、この競争の中で皆を全滅させるでしょう。これは故意に、意図的に行われていましたか？ことをあなたは、このように私を傷つけるだろうか？ わたしは、あなたが大嫌いです。したがって、これは、ための時間が...ある... 'トータルワイプアウト'"

That was Aer's only words, before a colossal magic circle formed under his feet, the rocks used to construct the floor broke off, rising.

"Divine Transfiguration. Lightning," Aer simply said, before a sphere of lightning surrounded him, the golden light surrounding him and destroying whatever was around it and in it. Naftis and Shelltear, who were finally told of Aer's appearance through the bright lightning, made them jump away, after Naftis finally broke through Shelltear's ice.

"This is…" Aer, in a different, deeper voice, spoke. The lightning seemed to have been absorbed by his body. His changed, new body. His clothing remained unchanged. Both his eyes had turned lavender, the colour of his "Eye of the Storm", and marks were on his face and body, beginning from the edge of his eyes. His hair had turned golden, bright golden. In his palms, there seemed to be a glowing circle, similar to a portal, the tip of a chain poking through it.

"Unpleasant," Aer frowned upon seeing the two on the rooves, the chains extending through the small portal-like magic circles.

That was loooong, I think.

"なぜあなたはこれを行うのですか？私の心が痛い...だから...私はすべての人を殺します。これはあなたが私がこれを行うことによって行う作ったものです。私は、この競争の中で皆を全滅させるでしょう。これは故意に、意図的に行われていましたか？ことをあなたは、このように私を傷つけるだろうか？わたしは、あなたが大嫌いです。したがって、これは、ための時間が...ある... 'トータルワイプアウト'"

"Naze anata wa kore o okonau nodesu ka? Watashi no kokoro ga itai... Dakara... Watashi wa subete no hito o koroshimasu. Kore wa anata ga watashi ga kore o okonau koto ni yotte okonau tsukutta monodesu. Watashi wa, kono kyōsō no naka de mina o zenmetsu sa serudeshou. Kore wa koi ni, ito-teki ni okonawa rete imashita ka? Koto o anata wa, kono yō ni watashi o kizutsukerudarou ka? Watashi wa, anata ga daikiraidesu. Shitagatte, koreha, tame no jikan ga... Aru... 'Tōtaruwaipuauto'"

"Why did you do this? My heart hurts... So... I will kill everyone. This is what you made me do by doing this. I'll annihilate everyone in this competition. Was this done deliberately, knowingly? That you'll hurt me in this way? I hate you. Thus, this is... the time for... 'Total Wipeout'"

Those are the things Aer said, in Romanji and English.
