Hey guys, I hope you liked that last chapter! By the way, this chapter might be a little short, but I have a lot of work to complete. Sorry. But, I hope you like this chapter.

Disclaimer ~ I do not own Fairy Tail

"Okay, now that everyone has gotten a chance to meet their competitor, we will begin the first match." The master says. "Now can Mai and Gray please step onto the battlefield."

Mai moves forward towards the field, and so does Gray.

They say a few words, and then the match begins.

Mai jumps back and Gray moves forward.

Mai is at a disadvantage, seeing as she can only use devil slayer magic, but Gray can switch between Devil slayer and normal ice-make. But then again, Mai has her sword that she can always defend and attack with.

"Ice-make Freeze lance!" Gray yells as a giant ice-lance appears in his hand.

He throws it towards Mai, but she dodges and counters.

"Ice-devils Rage!" Mai yells as the area inside and around the arena freezes.

Gray seems unaffected, but has taken off his shirt again.

"Gray, your clothes!" Natsu yells down from where we stand.

Gray looks down and yells. "When did that happen?"

I look over at Mai, who appears to be stifling a laugh.

Gray uses her distraction to attack her again. "Ice-make Knuckle!"

Mai realizes too late, and gets hit in the arm. She goes flying backward, and I bite my lip.

I know she's strong, but that attack looks like it hurt a lot.

When she gets up, she only has a few scratches. Her face is bright, and she's grinning.

"Ice-devil Zeroth Long Sword!" Mai yells. A long sword appears in her hand, that seem to have come from her palms, and she attacks.

I know from seeing Gray use this attack, that it can inflict deep cuts, and also freeze the target.

Mai jumps at him, but he dodges. He sidesteps and decides that he also needs to switch it up, because I see another extremely long sword in Gray's hand.

They both lunge at each other and I see the clashing of their swords. I can see exactly where the clash, because they're both attacking really hard.

Eventually, after about 5 minutes, they get tired, and move back to take a break.

Mai catches her breath before Gray does and attacks him again.

He uses a shield and jumps back.

He catches his breath and attacks her with an ice death scythe.

He swings, and it catches the side of her arm, and she starts to bleed a little.

She rips some cloth off the hem of her shirt and ties it around her cut. As far as I can see, it's not too deep, and it'll probably stop bleeding after a while.

I quickly estimate the amount of time left in the match. Since they were toying with each other in the beginning, spent about 5 minutes clashing swords, and are now going at it again, I estimate that there are about 10 minutes left.

Mai seems to notice this. I guess she decides that she doesn't have all day to spend fighting.

She draws her sword, and Gray backs up.

He must sense that there's something different about it.

He creates his own sword, and moves forward cautiously.

Mai lunges at him and he dodges.

He jumps at her and attacks her.

She dodges, and counters.

Gray dodges, but barely.

He backs up, and uses his "Ice-make one sided chaotic dance!"

Suddenly, a bunch of swords appear, and from what I've heard, Gray can command them at his will.

He throws them at Mai, and at first it seems like he's doing them randomly. After a minute, I can see that he's doing it in a pattern.

I want to tell Mai, but I know she can figure it out.

She has been grazed by a few of the swords, but then begins to get the hang of it.

She dodges and somehow manages to get behind him.

She hits him with the hilt of his sword, but instead of crumpling…

He starts to break..

Then it turns into ice, and the real Gray appears behind Mai.

He tries to hit her with his elbow, but she blocks with the flat side of her sword.

Gray turns and jumps backwards, away from Mai.

Before Mai can attack, the whistle blows.

They stop and look up at Mira and the Master.

"The match is over, so please exit the field so the next pair may enter," Mira calls down.

Mai and Gray shake hands and exit.

Mai rejoins us, and Gray leaves to go fight Natsu.

"The next 2 competitors are Lucy and Cana," Mira announces as they both make their way to the field.

They shake hands and then the match begins.

Lucy yells "Gate of the lion, Leo!" And suddenly a man with spiky blond hair appears.

"You called for me, Lucy?" Leo asks.

Lucy ignores him and yells "Leo star dress!"

Suddenly she's wearing a strapless black gown. It is slit up the left side, and is tied with golden sash that comes around her waist. I suppose that the sleeves are detached and are down her arm, just above her elbow.

While this is happening, Cana doesn't seem to care, and continues drinking.

I heard from someone, that Cana can use Fairy Glitter. She might be able to use that.

She doesn't look like she's in the mood to fight.

"Shuriken cards," She grumbles, and a bunch of cards get whipped towards Lucy.

Lucy dodges them easily and yells "Regulus!"

A beam of light shoots towards Cana, but she steps sideways and it just narrowly avoids her.

I check my watch, and it's only been 2 minutes since this match began.

I sigh, and Natsu seems to notice.

He joins me, and ruffles my hair.

He likes to think he's taller than me, even though we're the same height.

"What's wrong?" He asks.

"This is going to be a long match," I reply without looking at him.

"How do you know that?" He asks.

"It's only been about 2 minutes," I say.

"Oh," Is all he says.

I watch the match, and then he tries to start another conversation.

"Are you excited about our match?" He asks.

"Hm, kind of," I say.

"Well our match is next, so I hope you're ready to lose," He smirks.

I turn to face him. "You couldn't beat me before, what makes you can now?" I ask.

"I just feel it," He says.

"Feel like my fist," I say, and he backs up before realizing it was just a joke.

I turn back to the match.

Cana is down, and Lucy is standing over her, in a different dress.

I look at my watch and it's been 6 minutes since the match started.

Cana's already down, and Mira blows the whistle.

"Our winner is Lucy!" Mira announces, and everyone cheers.

Lucy stands up and helps Cana to her feet. Lucy has changed back into her normal outfit, and Cana is still drunk.

"May the next 2 competitors, Natsu and Crystal, make their way towards the stage?" Mira asks.

Natsu walks down, and I walk too. I feel like a stranger is in my body.

Natsu stands in front of me grinning, "Are you ready to feel defeat?"

"Maybe. Tell me how it feels," I reply with a smirk.

We say a few more words, and Mira commences the match.

Hey guys! I hope you liked that chapter! The next chapter will be up hopefully by next Saturday. And I have a lot of work, so I'm sorry if my next chapter is late. Anyways, I'll see you all next time! Bye!
