CHAPTER 2:
FANGIRL DISORDER?
"Hey everyone and welcome back live from Crocus...The Grand Magic Games," Josh proclaimed to the waiting crowds.
"Tonight we are going to introduce the competing teams and have exclusive interviews with them., Violet had calmed down some from that morning, a wild a fangirl, and had evolved into her ultimate form, a professional talk show host whose only goal in life is getting you the latest and juiciest.
"So starting from last place… Wolf Clan!" The stadium began to cheer as five people came out two girls and three guys. One girl had pink hair that fell straight down her back. Her bangs were clipped back revealing luminous blue eyes. She wore a green uniform. Violet's first question was directed at her.
"Macy, this is the ninth year your team has come in eighth place. How do you feel about that?"
Macy placed a perfect smile towards the camera,"I think that this is a game more about showing the world your skills and coming together with friends; rather than, a competition of strength. So, personally, I don't feel that bad about not getting higher than eighth place. Actually, the fact that our team is constantly getting eighth place against guilds like Fairy Tail and Sabertooth is amazing," Macy finished smiling again.
"Now Rego, do you feel the same way?" Violet questioned one of the three men. He had black, closely shaven hair and his eyes were a pale blue that contrasted greatly with his tan skin. Rego also sported a green uniform, but his included a sleeveless green shirt and crisply ironed pant compared to his teammate's long sleeves and pleated skirt.
"In a way yes. I feel that our team has come far with constantly getting eighth place. This year, we could have made higher; I am sure of it."
"And is that because of L.S.?"
"Yes and no, I think we train harder than any of these other teams; and all of a sudden, this guild shows up blasting through the competition," Rego shook his head, "That is not something to be proud of in my book."
"Now Blast," Violet directed her next question at a grinning man with yellow hair and crazy green eyes. His uniform had ripped pants with chains, opposed to the pristine, freshly ironed dress pants of Rego,"Who are you watching out for this year?"
"You, of course," Blast grinned making Violet giggle.
"But seriously, Blast, who do you think is your greatest competition this year?" Josh took over the questioning.
With Josh in command of the question Blast no longer saw a need to flirt, "I'm not worried about anyone," the too-yellow-to-be-blonde haired man grinned at the cameras.
"What about you Summer?" Violet turned to the other girl. This girl's look was more showy compared to her team. Summer possessed shiny orange hair, and her eyes were a compatible bright gold. Her uniform was made of a green bikini top and matching miniskirt.
"The competition this year is really going to heat up, I think, with that new guild and all," Summer giggled.
"Chris is there any guild in particular you're worried about?" Chis sat beside Summer but still seemed detached from his team. Skin as white as the marble columns decorating the stage, his eyes greener than an ocean, and the man had a permanent frown adorning his face.
"Why should I be? We always get eight place," Summer moved away toward Blast causing the man to grin even more fiercely that his very female teammate was gripping his arm fearful of Chris's morbid attitude.
In a bout of commonsense, Violet decided to end the interview there,"Okay give it up for Wolf Clan!" Cheers came hesitantly from the crowd, "Next up in seventh place...Mermaid Heel,"
The all female team's interview went almost identical to Wolf Clan's; with each question asked there was obvious hesitation about Lumen Siderum. Lamis Scale came on stage and Violet nearly had a heart attack when Lyon smiled at her. After that, Blue Pegasus came on stage and Violet almost fainted at the Trimens incessant flirting, but Ichya decided that it was the proper time to pose resulting in an unsatisfactory attempt to release the contains on Violet's stomach onto Josh's lap. Fairy Tail A added to the chaotic evening when Natsu tried to burn down the stage because Violet had asked a question about Lumen Siderum. Fairy Tail Team B's interview contain a strict interrogation from Mirajane and Juvia in the form of casual, pleasant banter between the three obviously, obsessed women which could have lasted hours had Josh not notified them it was far past their allotted time. The Sabertooth Team was made to wait for their interview to begin because Violet had to be toted of stage after a nose bleed caused by seeing Sting shirtless(ish).
"Here it is, what you've all been waiting for in first place... Lumen Siderum," Josh broadcasted. Violet had yet to come back on stage and was most likely sitting in a large puddle of nosebleed. The group of five people walked on stage to thunderous applause, cheers, and whistles.
"I don't think a crowd has cheered for me that loudly since I was on the Fairy Tail team last time." Lucy commented as her and her team sat down on a red plush sofa. Each was wearing a well kept white uniform. Lucy and Wendy wore matching outfits of high collar, sleeveless shirts with gold trim and mini skirts wrapped with a shiny piece of gold cloth tied around their waists. The woman wore white knee-high boots with gold stockings as well to complete their outfit. In an opposing fashion, the men wore white button up shirts with gold trim and white slacks with gold accents. Each man had a pair of white dress shoes. Somehow not a single smudge of dirt covered any part of the bleach white cloth that made up the unpredictable team's uniforms.
"So the rumors are true that ex-Fairies are part of Lumen Siderum," Josh smiled at the group Wendy, Lucy and the green haired boy smiled or grinned back.
"Yes, those rumors are true," Wendy giggled. Her dark blue hair fell in soothing wisps down her back, "Lucy, Levy, Carla, and I founded Lumen Siderum."
"We've meet you, Lucy, and Levy, but who is Carla?" Violet inquired as she staggered back on stage, much to Josh's relief.
"She is my exceed," Wendy responded again.
"A cat?!" A shocked Violet and Josh exclaim.
"No! Exceed!" Every exceed in the audience shouted, which was a considerable amount considering the entire Exceed community decided to come and watch their princess's guild win the games.
"Okay," Josh grumbled.
"So," Violet moved on, ever the peppy announcer, "I've heard that L.S. is very hard to get into?"
"I wouldn't say-" Lucy was interrupted, bravely by one of the men.
"It is very hard," the man with white hair and black eyes said. He then winked at the camera, "I'm Ethan, by the way," Violet nearly fainted again, but Josh caught her, on accident.
"Oh yes!" Violet clapped her hands with an idea, "Please introduce yourselves," Violet motioned to the other two men.
"I am Grant Mason, but you call me Mason," the bald man replied gruffly.
"Oh, I'm Louis, hi!" the green haired boy gave a short wave.
"So Ethan, you were talking about how hard it is to get into L.S.," Violet smoothly moved the conversation in the right direction, "I am sure everyone is dieing to know how to get into the unknown guild that won the first challenge at the GMG."
"I wish them all good luck if they even try."
"Why is that?"
"Well, the way you get in is by passing a test," Louis popped in, smiling shyly at the cameras aimed at him. A slight blush reddened his cheeks.
"A test? That does not sound like my kind of guild," Violet laughed.
"It isn't the kind of test you were thinking of," Ethan explained, "The test is split into three parts. The first part is the hardest."
"Actually, it was the second par," Louis blushed as the cameras swiveled to him recording his outburst and subsequent reddening.
"No, the third," Mason said with a note of finality.
"Huh?" Violet had a look of confusion upon her face.
"Boys, I think you are confusing everyone in the audience, and Louis, I would very much like to know why the part of the entrance exam Wendy and I supervise is challenging. You did pass with flying color," Lucy shot a deadly, inquisitive glare at her shy guild mate making him cringe instantly.
"I'll start I guess," Ethan began by bravely intercepting Lucy's glare, "When you first enter the there is a cat-"
"Exceed!" Wendy plus every exceed in in the stadium interjected.
"Exceed," Ethan corrected and continued, "and she asks you a simple question 'Who are you?' You have two chances to answer before she kicks you out and tells you to come back another day."
"Yeah, I had to try five times before I got to the second part," Louis added his eyes full of memories, but he immediately shrank as the cameras pointed to him again.
"Such a simple question...yet FIVE TIMES?!"
"Well the first time every one answers with their name of course, but that isn't the answer," Ethan told Violet.
"What is?"
"No spoilers now," Ethan winked.
"What about you Louis?" Lucy asked the next question while Violet slowed her breathing.
"Oh...um...it is the test of physical strength….Lucy makes you do a whole bunch of exercises while Wendy is checking you out...medically," Louis added the last part with a brighter blush on his cheeks.
"What about the last part?" Violet addressed Mason.
A grunt was her only response from the man, "We're sorry, but he doesn't like talking much. I actually think that is the most he has said since he joined the guild," Lucy told Violet who instantly thought the man had turned mute at the sight of the announcer an act she thought men often committed when in the range of her flawless beauty. Josh would beg to differ saying it was the fact that people pitied her for being no where close to sane that there were so stunned they could never speak in her presence.
"So could you explain the last part?" Violet's inquiring attack was directed at the blonde mage.
"Of course, it is a relatively simple test of how you react to certain situations.," Lucy explained.
"Levy, the master of our guild, created a spell that creates a link between her and a prospective guild member so she can control the environment that they see and feel," Wendy went into greater detail, "It is a basically an illusion spell that was adapted to calculate information and store it magical into a database so you can view it again."
"That long process shows Levy if you have the abilities that she wants in the guild or have the potential for them."
"So fancy...your Master must be powerful!" Violet exclaimed dumbfounded.
"Speaking of Masters this is the conclusion of our interview with Lumen Siderum and the start of our next interview with a few of our guild masters," The Lumen Siderum team stood and left the stage after a few pauses for pictures.
"Okay, so we have the masters from Fairy Tail, L.S….and that's it," Violet announced cheerfully. Unfortunately for her Laxus and Levy entered the stage and Violet started to gawk at the young master of Fairy Tail. "L-Laxus."
"Um..is something wrong with her?" Laxus asked Josh who shrugged, but Levy decided to take matters into her own hands. A check-up started.
The petite woman began to poke and prod at Violet. Violet squealed and tried to escape but she was no match for Levy's strong yet small hand (as well as cold),"I've got it!" Levy exclaimed after many minutes of the crowd staring at her inspect the announcer, "She has F.D., Fangirl Disorder," She turned to Josh with a grim expression, "There is no cure, I'm afraid...she is too far gone," A single tear fell down her cheek,"I wish I had gotten here sooner so I could show her this," Levy grimly snapped her fingers. The crowd gasped.
"How...How did you do that? Their so ugly!" Violet looked at the image in front of her. The curtains behind Levy had dropped to reveal the iconic faces of Rouge, Sting, Lyon, Gray, Laxus, Ethan, Blast, Hibiki, Ren and Eve. Each was distorted with make-up.
"I am so sorry!" Levy began to comically weep at the feet of Violet,"I was too late…"
"Is she okay?" Josh asked drawing attention to himself.
"Josh!" Violet shrieked, "Your...your face…" Josh was not immune to the spell Levy cast either.
"I'm sorry!" The comically weeping guild master exclaimed unleashing a new fountain of tears, "The runes I used gave every man in the area I drew them the ugliest make-up jobs possibly whenever I snapped my fingers. The only way to reverse it is for Violet to get over her Fangirl Disorder, but that is impossible."
"Can't you just rewrite the runes?" Laxus asked.
"No! I wrote them too well and with no possible way out other than the curing of Violet's disorder," Levy began to wail again.
"OH!" Josh said as if he didn't have comical make-up on,"Apparently the other guild masters heard about Levy's plan and wanted to watch so that is why they aren't here right now...and our crew…" Josh looked up from the letter he that was just delivered to him by an exceed that quickly flitted away.
The letter spoke the truth no one was behind the camera filming them, and back stage seemed to be barren of all activity except something burning off to the side.
"IT WAS THAT GUILD WASN'T IT!" Natsu screamed and ran on stage. He had the best or worst (depends on your point of view) make-up job so far. Laughs shot up from the crowd, until Natsu shot flames into the audience silencing them. He quickly turned to Levy his face a mask of anger making it even ungier. "FIGHT ME!" He shouted his challenge with fists igniting.
"I'm sorry but that is against the rules," Levy said with a smile; everyone began wondering if she was bluffing the whole thing or not. Noticing the matters and looks of mistrust, Levy wailed dramatically, "Why would you wish to attack me?!"
Josh looked up from a book titled, 'The Grand Magic Games Rule Book, Good Luck!', "Technically she is right. The rules state that no Master can fight in the games, and technically right now is part of the games."
Natsu's flames grew. "I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR DAMN RULE BOOK!"
"You do if you don't want your team disqualified," Josh told him. Natsu's fire quickly died down. He deliberated for a moment.
"Fine, but I will fight you!" Natsu punched the door on his way out; the wood splintered and broke under the immense pressure.
"Count on it!" Levy smiled; every tear of her's magically disappeared as well as the horrible make-up jobs.
"Wait so you were bluffing the whole time?" Josh asked.
"What do you mean?"
"You really weren't aiming to cure me of my Fangirl Disorder?" Violet looked hurt.
"But I did," Levy smiled. Everyone stared at the eccentric guild master, "You see, once you saw the male mages you idolized in their worst faces you instantly realized...you're in love with Josh!" Someone fell backstage. White hair washed into the view of the cameras and was shown around the stadium on large lacrima screens.
"Mira, are you alright?" Laxus asked his fellow guild mate.
"Fine," she managed to mutter with dreamy eyes.
"Well, I think that is enough-" Josh immediately said with a bright blush on his cheeks.
"Which guild do you think is your biggest competition?" Violet asked. She seemed not to have hear someone speaking of her love life to all of Fiore. Her only concern: give the viewers what they want.
"Sabertooth."
"Really, why; you said you wanted revenge on Fairy Tail for taking away your family earlier. Why Sabertooth?"
"Well you see, Sabertooth and Lumen Siderum have like goals, in defeating Fairy Tail. I also think having two Dragon Slayers, versus one, on your team is a big advantage."
"Wait you have a Dragon Slayer on your Team?"
"Yes, it was that magic you saw earlier, Sky Dragon Slayer Magic," Levy stood, "Thank you for having me. I'm sorry for all the destruction I've caused, but heck I am an ex-Fairy," Then she skipped off the stage leaving the arena in muttering silence.
"Wow," Violet turned to the camera, "This has defiantly has been the most exciting opening day in GMG history! Please join us tomorrow for the announcement of Round Two of this year's games."
Violet: Thanks for reading, wonderful viewers. Josh and I normally announce for big important events like the GMG; however, today we are announcing for this lowly fanfic that will most likely never get far because it defiles beautiful people.
GoldenOwls: You would make a wonderful member of Blue Pegasus.
Violet: I would never join a guild with that thing.
Josh: Whoa, whoa, whoa, where did you come from?
GoldenOwls: I've always been here.
Josh: Violet, did you know about this?
Violet: Yes, she has kinda been sitting there since the beginning.
GoldenOwls: You make me sound like a stalker.
Violet: Aren't you?
GoldenOwls: No.
Violet: Then how do you know what everybody's thinking.
Josh: She's the author, not get to the announcements.
Violet: Oh right! Though GoldenOwls would love to own it...
Josh: Fairy Tail, and all its characters belong to Hiro Mashima.
Violet: Also don't forget to Favorite,
Josh: Review,
Violet: and follow.
Josh: Also if you like these little segments tell us so.
Violet: *flips hair* we do love flattery. Heck you can even tell us what you want to read the most.
