AN: Thanks Goku275, kush1995b, Wadeparker, AliceCullen3, and NinjaFang1331. kush1995b, that is understandable. Natsu/Millianna is a pretty random pairing, given that they only interact briefly in canon. I hope you at least find the rest of the story enjoyable.
"Fire Dragon's…"
"White Dragon's…"
Natsu and Sting jumped at one another, both pulling back their right arm and curling their fingers into a ball. The latter had his White Drive active.
"…Iron Fist!" finished the two of them, their punches striking one another's faces. Natsu recovered from the blow first, following up by grabbing Sting with burning arms and flinging him into a nearby building.
"Fire Dragon's Wing Attack!" shouted the dragon. He then charged at his opponent and delivered a blazing headbutt. "Fire Dragon's Sword Horn!"
Sting was prepared for this, though, and prepared a spell of his own as Natsu's skull smashed into his chest. The dragon slayer gripped Natsu's forearms to keep him from getting away as he released his attack at point blank range. "White Dragon's Roar!"
Sting's grip loosened as the beam of light struck Natsu, causing the dragon to be sent flying. When Natsu charged back toward Sting, the White Dragon Slayer got a good look at him and grinned.
"His chest is burnt and a bit bloody where I just hit him!" thought Sting gleefully. "Thank you, Second Origin!"
Unfortunately for Sting, his increased strength did not stop Natsu's Fire Dragon's Iron Fist from slamming into him. However, the dragon slayer was able to move backward as the punch landed, softening the blow slightly and allowing him to use the momentum to put some distance between the two of them.
"Holy Ray!" shouted Sting, putting his hands together and firing a barrage of arcing white blasts at Natsu.
"Nice try," said Natsu as he took the attack head-on, receiving mild damage. "But, if you want to beat me, you're going to need more power than that. Fire Dragon's Roar!"
"I know that," said Sting with a serious expression on his face. As the stream of fire approached him, he dropped White Drive. "Just getting my Second Origin unlocked isn't enough, which is why I'm going to bet everything on this gamble!"
Instead of trying to block or avoid Natsu's spell, Sting inhaled. The dragon's eyes widened in shock as his flames were gulped down greedily. He cut off the attack immediately, but it was too late.
With his body wreathed in bright white light and intense red flames, Sting spoke. "White Fire Dragon Mode!"
"Multi-Angle Acid!" yelled Neppa, firing several spheres of acid at Gray.
"Ice-Make: Shield!" responded Gray, creating a large barrier of ice. It blocked the corrosive liquid, then disappeared. "Ice-Make: Arrows!"
Conjuring a frozen bow, the Fairy shot several icy arrows at his foe. Neppa defended himself by making a pillar of acid erupt in front of himself, which swallowed the projectiles whole. Before the pillar died down and disappeared, the Garou Knight made his next move.
Neppa stealthily moved into the shadows of a nearby alley, taking advantage of the fact that the pillar obscured him from his opponent's sight. The Fairy dashed toward where Neppa just was, jumping over the dying-out pillar and gasping in shock when he saw nobody behind it.
It was at this moment of distraction that the Garou Knight struck, hitting Gray dead on with a blast of acid. Neppa chuckled as his opponent dropped to the ground, defeated.
"Hah! Just one good hit and you're down. And, to think, you were an S-Class Candidate seven years ago. It looks like your reputation was just an exaggeration."
"Funny, I was about to say the same thing about you," spoke a voice behind Neppa. The Garou Knight stiffened, then jumped away from the source of the voice while spinning around to face him. Sadly for Neppa, he was not fast enough. "Ice-Make: Ice Impact!"
A large hammer with a spiked head formed above Neppa and swung downward, smashing him into the ground with enough force to make a crater.
"The Garou Knights are supposed to be incredibly powerful, but you didn't even realize that I made a clone out of ice and hid in the alley before you," sighed Gray, looked at Neppa's prone body. "Is it that you only face people who are already weak from imprisonment? Or maybe it's just easier to inflict fatal blows with your magic, and you guys aren't actually all that strong."
Gray sighed again. "I didn't even need to use my Ice Devil Slayer Magic."
+1 point for Fairy Tail A.
Elsewhere, two more participants were eliminated in encounters that didn't involve any Fairies.
Sherria fought Risley and won. Kamika attempted to take out the god slayer with a surprise attack, but Sherria noticed the spell and was able to defend herself. As a result, the two began a more protracted battle.
Also, Ichiya was eliminated by Jura. It was an instant victory for the Wizard Saint, as the last remaining member of Blue Pegasus had been monologuing and posing rather than paying attention to his surroundings.
+6 points for Lamia Scale. Team Blue Pegasus eliminated.
"White Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" yelled Sting, throwing a punch wrapped in fire and white light at Natsu.
"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" responded Natsu, countering Sting's attack with his own version. The dragon then followed up with a flaming kick. "Fire Dragon's Claw!"
Before it could hit him, Sting grabbed Natsu's leg with his arms. The dragon was able to break free, however, by using his other leg to kick his opponent's arms. He then brought his right hand forward and clutched Sting's head.
"Fire Dragon's Grip Strike!" shouted Natsu, engulfing the dragon slayer in an inferno. When the flames died down, though, Sting was only lightly singed.
"Looks like White Fire Dragon Mode gives me some resistance to Fire Magic," said Sting with a smirk. Although, internally, he was less confident. "With how much raw power you've got, I doubt it'll be enough for me to win. But that doesn't mean I won't try my hardest to win!"
"Then I guess I'll just have to use my own dual element mode," replied Natsu, earning Sting's confusion. To his knowledge, Natsu had never used an element other than fire, and (based on F-Blaze's story) the dragon would've shown significant fatigue if he had gained it in the past two days.
"Fire Dragon King Mode!" roared Natsu as he became shrouded in a fire reminiscent of Igneel's and Atlas Flame's. "Fire Dragon King's Roar!"
A torrent of flames burst forth from the dragon's mouth. Sting jumped out of the way as quickly as he could, and his left leg still got caught in the inferno from the shin down. Moreover, these flames incinerated that area of his pants and left burns along the leg.
"Too hot for you to handle?" asked Natsu teasingly. "Well, try this on for size! Fire Dragon King's Destruction Fist!"
Sting was barely able to cross his arms over his chest in defense before Natsu's punch collided with him. Propelled by his flames, the dragon's strike sent Sting flying.
"Argh!" groaned the dragon slayer as his body slammed through one house and left a crater on the wall of another. The gap in the strength of these two Fairies was quite clear. "This isn't good. If I want any chance of winning, I'll have to put everything into one last attack!"
Taking a deep breath and reactivating White Drive, Sting began preparing his final spell. Natsu walked toward him leisurely, preparing his own spell to meet his opponent head-on.
"Dragon Slayer's Secret Art: Holy Supernova!"
"Fire Dragon King's Brilliant Flame!"
Two massive, blindingly bright blasts of magic exploded toward one another. They clashed for a moment before one overcame and consumed the other, along with its caster. Half a minute passed before the light had faded and the dust had settled enough for the audience to see who had won.
Natsu Dragneel stood over the fallen body of his unconscious guildmate, panting and giving a broad smile. "Good match."
+1 point for Fairy Tail B.
"Take this!" yelled Cosmos as her Flytraps fired exploding seeds at Rogue.
The dragon slayer simply bobbed and weaved his way through the barrage, making his way toward Cosmos. But, when he got close to the Garou Knight, another Flytrap burst from the ground and swallowed Rogue whole.
"Beautiful," said Cosmos smugly. The smirk faded from her face, though, when the Flytrap that ate Rogue started to expand. A moment later, the top of the plant exploded as a stream of shadows tore a hole in it.
"Shadow Dragon's Roar," spoke Rogue coldly as he emerged from the now-dead Flytrap, his Shadow Drive active. "Shadow Dragon's Slash."
Darkness wrapped around the dragon slayer's hand as he dashed toward Cosmos, who was starting to sweat from the look of sheer hatred he was giving her.
"Stay back!" she cried, conjuring a wall of vines to defend herself. They didn't even slow Rogue down, the Fairy tearing apart the vines with his shadow-covered hand. "Grow Flow!"
A large, blue-and-pink flower sprouted and began sucking everything around it into its pistil. At the same time, Cosmos ran away from Rogue, desperate to put some distance between the two of them.
The dragon slayer paused his advance momentarily and struck the ground with a fist covered in darkness. This made a torrent of shadows erupt from underneath the new flower, annihilating it instantly.
However, rather than freak out, Cosmos stopped running and turned around to face Rogue, smirking. "Makura Kamura!"
With those words, all of Cosmos's plants — the ones that had not been completely destroyed, at least — started to produce spores. Because he had moved toward the Garou Knight, Rogue was now surrounded by clouds of spore.
"You should surrender now," Cosmos told the Fairy confidently. "These spores contain sleeping agents. One breath of them and you'll fall asleep. Permanently."
Like a flash of lightning, Rogue shot at his foe, sinking into his shadow just long enough to bypass her spell. Cosmos froze up, stunned by the speed of her opponent.
"Shadow Dragon's Haste," uttered the Fairy. He struck Cosmos in the face with his open palm, cloaked in darkness. The Garou Knight fell to the ground, defeated. Yet, Rogue didn't stop attacking her.
"Die! Die! Die!" he shouted, hitting her again and again with his Shadow Dragon's Haste. "Die! Die! DIE! DIE!"
In the audience, people recoiled in horror at the sight of Rogue's barbarity. They begged to their various gods for it to stop. Fortunately, at least one deity must have listened because those prayers were answered.
"Cut it out, Rogue!" bellowed Gajeel, pissed off. "Or should I call you Shadow Rogue?"
The Shadow Dragon Slayer stopped brutalizing Cosmos and looked at his guildmate, grinning cruelly. "Surprisingly perceptive for a person who has scrap metal for a brain."
"Gi hi hi hi," chuckled Gajeel. "I'm going to enjoy kicking your ass."
The two dragon slayers both activated the Dragon Force, ready for the fight of their lives.
+1 point for Fairy Tail B.

"…and so I used this card to find you and bring you back," summed up Mest, holding up the card that F-Wendy had Enchanted. Gildarts looked at the Fairy with an expression of shock.
"Wait… but that means…" said the S-Class Mage numbly. His eyes teared up and he began to shout. "Cana got rid of the card I gave her to contact meee!"
Mest stared at Gildarts, flabbergasted, as he began to sob uncontrollably.
"Why doesn't she *sniff* want me around?" asked the S-Class Mage. Cracks formed in the area around him as he lost control of his Crash Magic.
Mest spent the next few minutes comforting Gildarts (from a safe distance), until the man finally perked up.
"Let's go!" shouted Gildarts. "I'll defeat Acnologia this time, and then my daughter will want to talk to me!"
Mest sighed. At least he was motivated.
AN: I hope nobody is too upset that Sting has White Fire Dragon Mode instead of White Shadow Dragon Mode. I figured a bit more variety would be good, since both him and Gajeel used Rogue's shadows in canon. Also, the reason neither Natsu nor Sting used the Dragon Force was because they are still keeping a bit in reserve for the worst case scenario. Gajeel and Shadow Rogue, on the other hand… not as casual a fight.
That's all for now. Bye!
