Chapter 12

Results and Aftermath

The football sailed through the goal post.

"That's it! Fairy Tail wins it! The Fairy Tail Warriors claim the Magnolia Super Bowl Champions for the 7th year in a row!"

If it was even possible, the enormous crowd of fans exploded with an earthshaking cheer. It felt like the whole stadium was about to collapse!

"Natsu!" Someone called from behind the still stunned game winning player. Natsu turned around and was met by a joyous blonde with a huge grin on her face as she collided with him. Out of joy (and the huge impact), Natsu spun Lucy around (on his good heel) as they hugged out their victory. They looked at each other, the big smiles never leaving their faces. "I knew you could do it," Lucy said.

"I knew myself that I could do it," Natsu smirked, earning a playful punch from Lucy who laughed.

Soon, the rest of the Fairy Tail gang came together, even the student viewers came off the stands and went to lift Natsu onto their shoulders as they were awarded the trophy. Everyone was over exhilarated over the victory.

Well…almost everyone.

Sting's POV

"Damn it!" I slammed my fist into the nearest thing, which was apparently punching a nearby teammate. Whatever, who gives a shit? They didn't work hard enough or we would've won. "How could we not win?!" I glared hard at the celebrating winners, mainly at the guy who stole the trophy away from me. That trophy should be in my hands. I should be the one they're all cheering for. And that wasn't the only thing he stole from me.

My rage grew when I saw that pinky hug my Lucy. Oh hell no, this ain't gonna happen.

"Hey." I snapped my head to the person who spoke to me. It was Rogue, with that expressionless look on his face.

"What?"

"We are going to get back at them. We'll make them pay for stealing our trophy."

"Oh that's not the only thing they stole." I slammed my fists together. "It's gonna get personal now."

Normal POV

"WE'RE BACK!" The Dragon Slayers shouted loudly at the start of the next school day as they entered the front school yard of Fairy Tail High. A banner was on display at the top of the main entrance saying, "Fairy Tail Warriors win it again! We're number one!" Which is absolutely true.

Everyone was in high spirit, wearing school colors and even painting their faces.

Natsu was at the front of the group, the leader. In his hands was the golden trophy held high above his head. "This win, is for Fairy Tail!" He declared, causing another rambunctious cheer.

"It's time to party!"

Fairy Tail High always finds any excuse to party, and the principal, Makarov, absolutely allowed it. Nobody complained, students nor teachers.

...

However, back at Sabertooth…

Everything was going on just as normal. No loud cheering, no excitement, just normal. But there was tension in the air. Sabertooth usually won any events, but when it comes to a competition with Fairy Tail…

So everyone was wary. Whenever the top students went by, a dark aura always surrounded them. This time, it seemed to be stronger. Something must've happened that caused the extreme darkness and coldness in Sting's eyes.

Sting and his gang were called down to the principal's office. This was not a place where people enjoyed going, so that's why most students behave. Principal Jiemma ran a strict school and did so with an iron fist.

"I am very disappointed over this lose," Jiemma said to them. "However, Fairy Tail has always been one at the top. Sabertooth is very close behind."

Minerva shook her fist angrily, "But we can be better than them! We can't let stupid fairies get to us!"

Jiemma looked at each of them, all having the same expressions. Rogue, Rufus, Orga, and especially Sting and Minerva. All looked angry in rage and frustrated for their lose.

"I'll make you guys a deal," Jiemma started, getting their attention. "I can tell you guys want some revenge."

"Ohh, you have no idea," Sting snarled.

"The masters of the academies are all having a meeting at the end of the week, and every year they want Sabertooth and Fairy Tail to do something to...help us get along."

His audience snickered at the ridiculous idea. "So I'm to make a suggestion to them, and you guys can do whatever you want with that suggestion. Just... don't ruin the Sabertooth name any more."

"Oh we wouldn't dream of it, sir," Minerva reassured with a wicked gleam in her eyes.

"Whatever you suggest in that meeting," Sting said, already brainstorming ideas, "we will take whatever advantage we can."

When Jiemma dismissed them, Sting took the lead happier than he was before, which creeped out people even more.

"Uh, Sting?" Rogue called out cautiously. "What exactly are you planning?"

"Oh I'm not planning anything yet, Rogue," Sting answered, putting his hands behind the back of his head. "Just brainstorming some ideas."

A Week Later~

Normal POV

The guys were laughing at their lockers as Natsu told his story of his hilarious weekend.

"It was the most genius thing I have ever made," Natsu declared, showing them the pictures of what happened. They were looking at a panorama picture of Natsu's living room that was covered with junk and knick-knack and more junk that apparently Natsu had ingeniously designed to make the "Ultimate Prank Chain Reaction". It looked so complicated and intricate. It had buckets of water with ropes and then some other things that caused this chain of reaction.

"This is the only genius thing you ever did," Gray pointed out. Even he himself had to admit (to himself) it was pretty good.

"Pft, please," Natsu scoffed. "When it comes to pranking, I'm the best."

"The only time you ever put thought into anything," Jellal said, "is if it involved Lucy."

"No, pranking in general," Natsu defended. "Doesn't have to involve Lucy. Anyways, here's the result that I am very proud of."

Natsu showed them a picture of Lucy who was seething under water soaked hair and clothes, and there was even something slimy on her shoulder.

"Ooh," Gajeel winced, smirking. "You got her good."

"That must've costed you a lot afterwards," Laxus said.

"Yeaaah," Natsu sighed, listing out his punishments on his hand. "My mom took away all my electronic privileges except my phone for two weeks, forcing me to run unnecessary errands every single day, making me do all the house chores, and the worst thing is I am forced to take Wendy and Lucy on a shopping spree at the end of the week and letting them buy whatever they want no matter how expensive."

The boys winced in sympathy at the mention of taking girls shopping. The girls they know take especially long. "Why is your mom forcing you not to go against what they buy even if it's expensive?" Jellal asked. "They can buy whatever they want."

"Because I'm paying for everything," Natsu slumped down on his chair. "And I can't say no to anything that they want. This sucks. I'm gonna be broke in one day."

Gray clapped his hand on Natsu's shoulder, "Well, good luck with that."

"Don't expect us to pay anything when you're broke," Gajeel said.

Natsu suddenly perked up with a big toothy grin, "At least it's all worth it after seeing her reaction. Ahhh, it was priceless."

RIINNGG! The warning bell rang for the first class of the day. Natsu and Laxus was just about to enter their history class when they were stopped by one of their classmates.

"Hey, Al," Natsu greeted. "What's up?"

Al looked nervous. "Uh, you may want to know who's inside before you enter."

"Huh? Why?"

Al gulped, "Just to ease up the potential shock and tension."

Natsu furrowed his eyebrows, and gave Laxus a questioning look who was just as confused. "Who is it?"

"The people we defeated are here," Al stated, not daring to use the names, but anyone would know who those people are.

Natsu's frowned deepened. He nodded his head towards the door, signaling them to go in and see for themselves.

"What are you doing here?" Natsu sneered at the two guys sitting at the front of the room on the side. They acted like they were students here.

"Nice to see you too, Natsu," the blonde said sarcastically.

Natsu snorted, "There's nothing nice about it."

The second bell rang for the class to officially start, just as the teacher walked in. The football coach, Gildarts, who also happened to be the assistant principal, followed in.

"Coach?" Natsu said surprised again. "The hell are you doing here?"

"Do I need to answer that?" Gildarts asked rhetorically. "Take a seat, you three." Natsu motioned Al to follow him and Laxus as they took their seats in the back row.

Gildarts stood in front of the classroom but didn't say anything because the morning announcements came on. Principal Makarov Dreyar, Laxus's grandfather, spoke through the intercom. "Yesterday, the principals of Magnolia came together for a meeting. We have decided that for today, Sabertooth is to come and spend their day here. This new interaction is hoped to ease the...tension between us. Fairy Tail, Sabertooth is our guest, so treat them like guests. That is all. Have a good day, everyone."

Laxus snorted, "Good day, my ass."

Natsu looked at the blonde guest. There was a twinkle of amusement in his eyes. Natsu knew that Sting knew about this, and that he was plotting something. Did they want revenge for being beaten? What were they going to do?

"I'm visiting some of the classes in this first period," Gildarts said. "Just to make sure everything starts out okay."

Everyone knew that the only classes he was visiting were the ones with the Dragon Slayers in it. They were they ones who have the main problems with the popular students at Sabertooth. Sting and Orga just happen to be in Natsu's and Laxus's history class. What a great placement.

"Class is to go on like normal," Gildarts said and made his way to the door. "And please don't try to kill each other. The air around here is already getting suffocating." He said lightly before leaving the room.

The teacher started class like nothing happened, and nobody allowed it to look like anything happen. They just want it to go on like normal. Sting and Orga amazingly followed along without any complaint.

It was silent until group work was to be done and some chatter started filling the air. Natsu took this opportunity to get the conversation he wanted going. "Did you know about this?" he asked Laxus.

"No idea," Laxus admitted. "Gramps never tells us these things."

Natsu then turned to Al, "Have they been here since school started?"

"Yeah."

"How come I didn't see any of them?"

"You guys were in the courtyard. That's the one place Sabertooth aren't allowed on until free period. But if you were in the hallways…" Al shook his head. letting out a big breath. "Man, that was tough. Like Coach Gildarts said, it was suffocating."

"So what? Gramps wants us to mingle with our rivals in hopes of easing the rivalry?" Laxus said. "That'll take a miracle."

Al nodded in agreement, "Sabertooth isn't even our rival anymore. They're like our arch enemies."

Laxus shook his head in disapproval, "They're just asking for the whole school to be destroyed." He gave Natsu a pointed look. "One fight and they'll have to rebuild an entire floor."

Natsu huffed, "Geez, I'm not that destructive." But he knew in his gut that without a doubt, someone is going to go home with at least half a broken body.

The aftermath of the results from the game were about to take place.
