One day later. It's time for the biggest guild showdown of all time; even bigger than Sabertooth vs. Fairy Tail; Fairy Tail vs. White Eclipse. White Eclipse has been on a winning record against Fairy Tail for a long time now, so it's not so surprising they call themselves the strongest guild in Fiore. In a large green open field that was on the edge of multiple areas, such as a forest, a lake, and a mountain trail, the two guilds stood on opposite ends of the field Fairy Tail to the left and White Eclipse to the right. Team Fairy Tail walked forward, all smirking. Arcturus, as a way of saying sorry for not being around when the challenge was issued, presented Masters Calium and Markarov with a lacrima for randomizing matches, to make things easier. "Thank you, Arc," Calium said with a slight smile. "Will you be watching the entire tournament?" Calium asked, knowing Arc's tendency to not hang around much.
"I suppose I will," Arc replied, nodding slowly.
"Excellent," Calium replied before holding the lacrima he received up in the air, a screen with all the members of both sides appearing overhead.
"Alright!" Markarov turned to Team Fairy Tail, holding up the Fairy Tail symbol. "You're going to make this guild proud today, I can feel it!"
"We'll do our best, Master!" Cynthia grinned. Cynthia wore a sleeveless green shirt, purple pants, and black boots. She was really excited to be a part of the team that will bring Fairy Tail to truly number one.
"That's right, we're gonna kick their asses!" Natsu grinned, pounding a fist into an open palm.
"You wish!" Luke yelled from afar.
"I'm coming for you!" Natsu ignored Luke and pointed at Sidney, scowling at the memory of the one hit KO Natsu went through in his fight against Sidney. He was going to change that when they fought.
"Do your best," Cailum told Team White Eclipse, giving a small nod.
"I just hope they can keep up," Reve replied with a smirk, twirling a pistol around in his hands. "Because we're about to take the title of number one."
"You can do it, guys!" Mirajane waved from the sidelines; still a little upset her siblings got the chance to battle instead of her. She REALLY wanted to place her hands on Luke and Michio's skulls and just squeeze until they…oh my.
"The matches are going to be randomized, this way things can be exciting," Aira grinned slightly, warming up before possibly being the first one to fight. Sidney ignored Natsu's glare as he prepared himself.
"There are going to be breaks every two matches," Marakrov said aloud so everyone could hear, walking over to Team Fairy Tail's sidelines along everyone else in the guild.
"Shall we get the first match started?" Calium asked, standing over by Team White Eclipse.
"YEAH!" Both sides shouted in unison.
"Excellent," Calium waved a hand, commanding the lacrima to randomize the matches. The picture on the left, flashed from Natsu, Gray, Lucy, Levy, Lisanna, Cana, Erza, Juvia, Elfman, Cynthia, Wendy, Gajeel, and Gildarts rapidly; eventually, the image stopped on Lisanna. "Lisanna Strassus, vs…" The image to the right then flashed from Reve, Luke, Jack, Jaxon, Zalen, Kuro, Waiston, Aira, Takeru, Heather, Selene, Cygnus, and Sidney before it eventually stopped on Luke. "Luke Cloud."
"Huh, I guess I'm up first," Luke said, stretching out a bit before walking into the middle of the field.
"I'm first?" Lisanna took a deep breath before walking forward, standing a few paces away from Luke. "I'll do my best…"
"Go Lisanna!" Mirajane cheered with the biggest smile on her face, thinking to herself; "If he hurts her too badly I'll kill him."
"Go Lisanna!" Wendy cheered as she went to the slid to the sidelines with everyone else.
"Don't lose, Cloud, otherwise there's gonna be a bullet with your name on it!" Reve said with a smirk, walking to the sidelines along with everyone else.
"Don't worry…" Luke smirked, placing his hands in his pockets as he eyed Lisanna, thinking is was somewhat attractive. "Hm…Stay in the game, Luke…that's what almost got you last time…" He shook his head, preparing himself. "Ladies first," Luke said, smirking slightly.
"If you insist…" A magic circle appearing above Lisanna as her appearance started changing into the form of a tigress. Her body remained mostly humanoid and her hair short hair grew slightly longer. Concentrated stripped patterns appeared around her forearms along with feline-like pads on the surface of her palms and razor sharp claw like fingertips. Along with this, she also sports tigress ears, a small feline nose, whiskers, and a long tail. Other than that, and her attire now a two piece tiger-skin bikini, everything else about Lisanna remained the same. Lisanna then charged forward at Luke with her arms pulled back, swiping at his body with her sharp claws rapidly.
"Holy…" Luke shook his head, watching as Lisanna neared him at an intense speed. He swayed his body from left to right, barely avoiding Lisanna's furious swipes, also causing him to take a few steps back. "She's fast; I'll give her that…" Luke thought to himself as one of Lisanna's claws cut through his jacket.
"Whoa, go Lisanna!" Cynthia cheered as she saw that Lisanna's onslaught forced Luke to go on the defensive.
"Tch, this is getting old fast…" Luke stuck his arm out, grabbing Lisanna's wrist just as she was about to land a scratch on his chest. "Let's try something else," Luke smirked, pivoting on his left foot, shifting all his weight to his left as he spun around, hurling Lisanna away. Luke then placed his hands into his palm, a chilling wind surrounding his ankles as a blue magic circle appeared in front of him. "Ice Make: Hammer!" A crystalized ice hammer flew from the magic circle, launching itself at Lisanna.
"Ah!" Lisanna let out a yelp of surprise as she was flung, but her appearance quickly changed, entering her Animal Soul: Wings. Her body returning to normal, but her arms changed into wings which she quickly used to recover from the sudden throw, though she didn't have any time to react to the ice hammer that slammed into her body, sending her spiraling back, eventually recovering with a small flip. "Ugh…"
"Don't rest now!" Luke said as he ran towards Lisanna, engulfing his hands in fire and electricity. Lisanna's legs changed to the talons of a bird, which she quickly utilized to keep Luke at bay by kicking her talons rapidly.
"Whoa!" Luke moved his body from side to side, Lisanna's speed almost getting the best of him. He found and opening, so he ducked low, and brought his fist to Lissanna's chin, forcing her to go up from the force of it; but before she could go too high, Luke grabbed Lisanna's leg and threw her to the ground, jumping high into the air after, firing off a thunderbolt from his hands down at Lisanna.
"Eep!" Lisanna rolled out of the way just in time, the thunderbolt hitting the ground instead of her; Lisanna quickly changed back into her Tigress Animal Takeover and ran towards the falling Luke, scoring several scratches on his midsection with her sharp claws, causing the copy mage to step back, and a smirk to appear on the takeover mage's face.
"Slipping up, Luke!" Reve shouted from the sidelines. "You're not gonna let a girl beat you, are you?" Reve smirked, knowing his comment would spark something in Luke's head to make him try harder in this battle.
Lisanna changed back into her half bird Animal Takeover once again, taking flight into the air, and preformed looped, increasing her momentum as she nosedived at Luke. "That's not going to work!" Luke smirked, pulling his arm back confidently…but he wasn't expecting Lisanna to use her momentum and transform into a large penguin, crushing Luke into the ground with her weight.
"GO LISANNA!" Lucy cheered. "Do it again! Crush him! …I mean…No I meant that."
Luke groaned form underneath Lisanna, who clearly wasn't going to be getting up anytime soon. "I know it's rude to call a girl heavy…but…" He allowed electricity to spark around his body, sending an upward current into Lisanna's body, shocking the takeover mage as she returned to her normal human form, wincing as electricity danced wildly around her body as she took a few steps back. "Keep up!" Luke jumped, spinning his body as he landed a spinning roundhouse kick to Lisanna's side, her eyes widening as she felt a small crack. She took a few steps back, holding her side, panting.
"Ugh…" Lisanna winced from the pain slightly, using the space to catch her breath.
"Is she okay!?" Wendy asked.
"Lisanna can do it…" Mirajane nodded slowly, hopefully.
"Hm…" Zain eyed Lisanna's posture carefully, noticing something, but decided to keep quiet about it for the time being.
"Are you done?" Luke asked, tapping his foot impatiently. In fact, he didn't even wait for a response; he snapped his fingers, causing a yellow magic circle to appear underneath Lisanna's feet. Before the takeover mage could react, a strong discharge shot up from the magic circle, shocking the girl as she let out a strangled groan, falling to her knees, panting heavily.
"Come on, Lisanna! You can do it!" Natsu cheered from the sidelines, putting all of his faith in Lisanna.
Lisanna stood up slowly, changing once again into her Tigress animal takeover, panting heavily. "I have to fight…for Fairy Tail!"
"Chain takeovers…would be useful if she was more adept in battle…" Luke thought to himself, making a motion for Lisanna to "bring it".
"YAH!" With that battle cry, Lisanna pounced forward, aiming herself to land on top of Luke. The copy mage rolled out of way, watching as Lisanna hit the ground, seemingly disorientated.
"Guess I'll finish it here!" With a smirk, Luke swung his left leg forward, aiming at Lisanna's head for the knockout blow…but Lisanna caught his leg with her arm, smirking. "W-What!?"
"Don't underestimate a mage of Fairy Tail!" Lisanna's smirked widening, and she used her free claw, swinging up upward at Luke's chest, creating a gash in his chest. Luke let out a cry of pain as Lisanna released his leg, causing him to stumble back. Lisanna then lunged forward, using this as an opportunity to unleash a furious barrage of swipes at her opponent, almost all of them connect as scratch marks appeared on her opponents body. However this only kept up for a few seconds as Luke started fighting back, sending his own flurry of punches at the takeover mage, striking all over her body like her time him, the two locked in intense close combat.
"Come on, Lisanna!" Mirajane and Happy cheered from the sidelines.
"Come on, Luke!" Kuro cheered his the sidelines, waving his hands around.
"Don't let her get you, Cloud!" Reve shouted, cupping his hands near his mouth to amplify his voice.
Luke and Lisanna remained locked in high speed close combat as both of their guild members cheered them on intensely. Lisanna ducked one of Luke's punches, then grabbed his wrist, much similar to how he did to her; using her own strength she hurled Luke away, causing the White Eclipse mage to tumble on the ground before coming to a complete stop. As Luke rolled, Lisanna changed into her half bird Animal Takeover once again flying into the air, then coming down low with her wings spread out as a fiery blue aura flared and wrapped itself around her body.
"W-What is that…?!" Cynthia asked in amazement.
"L-Lisanna…" Elfman's eyes widened at Lisanna's fighting spirit, he never felt more proud of his little sister than this moment.
"Luke, watch out!" Selene yelled from the sidelines.
Luke finally got his balance just in time to see Lisanna coming at him; he pulled his fist back, ice, fire, electricity, and shadows swirling around his fist. "Don't underestimate a mage from White Eclipse either!" Luke threw his elemental fist as Lisanna neared him, the two magical powers clashing powerfully as shockwave boomed through the area, shaking the ground just a little as the magical power became too much and created a large explosion, which also created a large dust cloud.
"W-What happened?!" Mirajane asked, standing up from her seat.
"L-Lisanna…!" Happy covered his ears from the explosion, looking on in the smoke. When the smoke cleared, Luke was hunching over slightly, heavily damaged from Lisanna's last attack. Lisanna was on the ground, in her normal human form, breathing lightly. She was passed out.
"Lisanna…!" Lucy covered her mouth as she gasped.
"Heh, that's right," Reve smirked, speaking quietly.
"Lisanna is not able to continue…" Calium spoke slowly just in case Lisanna happened to get up; he was aware Fairies had the tendency to get up when down, but Lisanna wasn't getting up. "Luke Cloud of White Eclipse is the winner." Lisanna's image on the lacrima screen faded out and a large white X appeared over it. Luke walked back to Team White Eclipse with a slight limp, and cuts all over his body from Lisanna's furious scratching.
"Not bad, Cloud," Reve said, patting the mage on the back.
"Lisanna!" Mirajane and Wendy rushed to Lisanna.
"I'll heal her!" Wendy placed her hands over Lisanna's body, healing as a sea green light emitted from her hands.
"So, that makes the score White Eclipse 13, Fairy Tail 12. Don't worry, we'll make this quick," Reve put his hands together like a gun, pretending to fire at every single member on Team Fairy Tail.
