Hi everyone Azza here.

So I realized that this story is almost at 50 chapter and will be over 300k words as of this chapter and I decided screw it finals are over and I'M FREE! So basically here are another four chapters that will take us to the big 50.

I really enjoyed making these chapters too so I hope you all enjoy reading them.

So yeah thanks for reading this story for this long I'm so grateful to everyone who leaves a review which actually brings me to one review I read a week or so ago that I was going to mention but forgot when the last 4 chapters came out.

LyHy mentioned that he'd like to see some awesome abilities for Erza thanks to the blood relation between her and Irene and to you my friend I say thanks for the idea because that actually is a great one, the moment I read that I began to think of some really cool ways it could be done so look forward to seeing some new powers from Erza in the future though it won't be for a few arcs.

SilentSniper005 mentioned that he wanted to see an alternate story where Natsu was raised by Eliza instead of Igneel and became the War God Slayer instead. That idea is a very interesting one because he would be E.N.D and have the potential to reach the Gods and being from both sides being Gods and Devils it would make for a compelling story so I'll keep that in mind I actually wrote that down as something I should look into.

Finally Rayvenwolves in his review wondered why Natsu didn't mention that he had grown stronger during the years that they were gone during the years the Fairy Sphere was active. Now I thought about this and I honestly thought I had Natsu mention it a few times though I could be wrong if I am I apologize. Unless you are referring to certain people in Scarlione then I just felt that he could let his power speak for itself rather than have him repeat what was stated earlier so really you can chalk it up to me simply deciding to let Natsu prove his strength rather than hype himself up.

So yeah thanks for everyone who reviewed and a big WOOHOO for 50 chapters and over 300k words honestly didn't think I'd make it this far but the ideas haven't stopped so much so that I have the first six chapters of the sequel done so yes there is an EOS planned and somewhat finished you know obviously will be edited and stuff.

But enough from me enjoy the chapters!

The Grand Magic Games Begin!

"All right everyone settle down I know it's been a long three months but you all have done me proud by going out there and working hard," Makarov said as he gazed out among the gathered members of Fairy Tail.

"Hey gramps are you sure we should start this Natsu and Wendy aren't back yet," Gray shouted from up the back as Makarov sighed.

"Look we all know Natsu likes to be fashionably late and we've got places to be so those two can be filled in on the way, now I know all of you trained really hard for this and I've had Mira read over all the rules while she was away so she will now explain how this thing is going to go down!"

There was some murmuring as Mira stepped forward but one stern look from her silenced the entire crowd.

"Alright everybody the rules here state that we can enter a five man team into the games so after much thinking I've come up with a team that will both make our guild proud but also show the rest of Fiore that we are still number one!"

The guild began to cheer and Mira smiled before silencing them.

"Alright now here are the people I've chosen for Team Fairy Tail! Erza Scarlett!"

"That was a given," several guild members muttered as everyone nodded in agreement.

"Gray Fullbuster!"

"Damn right!"

"Juvia Lockser!"

"Looks like we get to compete together Gray isn't that just wonderful!"

"Wendy Marvell!"

"There's an interesting choice," many guild members muttered however they were all silenced by a glare directed at them by Erza.

"And finally Freed Justine!"

"You would choose me … over someone like Laxus!"

Everyone sweat dropped as Freed began to speak of the God that was Laxus Dreyar.

"These five will show Fiore the true spirit of Fairy Tail now all of you stop standing around and get packing we've got to get to Crocus by tomorrow night!"

The guild roared in approval but was silenced when Wendy walked in although many people didn't recognize her.

Wendy made her way over to where Makarov, Mira and Erza were and the three looked at her shocked.

"Wendy what happened to you why do you look so wild!"

"Hmm oh this isn't anything really it's just the training Natsu and I went through didn't leave much time for keeping up my appearance sorry if it offends you."

"It … doesn't offend me Wendy I just thought that something happened to you that's all, also where is Natsu?"

"Ah that's why I'm here the Council summoned Natsu two days ago so he wrote a letter for Master so that he can come find Natsu in Crocus since he doesn't know where the guild will be staying."

"Thank you for delivering his message Wendy now why don't you and Erza head on home and get cleaned up we still have two hours before we have to leave," Makarov said with his grandfatherly smile as he took the letter from Wendy.

"Yes I believe we will do that Master thank you, Mira come get me if these idiots don't listen to you."

"You got it Erza though I doubt that will be necessary they all seem rather excited for this."

Erza nodded as both she and Wendy left leaving Makarov and Mira at the bar.

"So what does it say Master?"

"Well let's have a look then shall we?"

Gramps and probably Mira

So on my way back to the guild I had two representatives of the Magic Council come see me about needing to meet with me urgently, I think it's about my Wizard Saint status but with those old bastards who knows.

I'll be hanging around Crocus Gardens gramps so come find me alright I've got something I need to let you in on that'll be going down during the games, also Mira I read up on the rules of the Games and if I know you I know that you didn't pick me for the team … nice one the Demoness strikes again!

Hopefully this crap isn't too serious but like I said you never know, oh and please don't get mad at me for Wendy's appearance we've been off the grid for the entire three months so no access to anything aside from nature her appearance isn't my fault.

See you both in Crocus!

Natsu

"Is it bad that a well structured letter from Natsu seems unreal?"

"No Mira I don't think I'll ever get used to how grown up that boy is," Makarov said with a sigh. "Well no time for sitting around I've got to pack!"

Makarov got up off the bar and made his way to the door just as Elise walked over.

"I'm guessing by the letter Natsu gave the old man that he won't be coming here?"

"Summons from the Council apparently …. he's so important these days it's kind of strange to think of."

"I've only known him since the Council sent us on a mission together and we've been best buddies since, mother seems quite taken with him keeps telling me to train harder to be like him."

"His strength comes from his heart I don't think that can ever be replicated by anyone Elise not even you."

"Eh I can come pretty close I learned a few cool tricks while I was away with Erza … oh and she got this amazing new armor from mother honestly I was a little jealous!"

"Oh do tell," Mira said as the two girls began gossiping amongst themselves.

/The next day – Crocus/

"All right you brats we're here take your stuff to the Honey Bone Inn that's where we'll be staying for the duration of the Games," Makarov shouted. "And make sure you come back before midnight or else the guild will be in trouble!"

Many of the guild members just groaned at the restriction and broke off into groups leaving Erza, Elise, Makarov, Mira and Wendy.

"Well then I assume you all want to come and see Natsu with me," Makarov said as the girls nodded. "Alright I don't think Natsu will mind anyway we're headed to Crocus Gardens."

"That's by the palace if I remember correctly," Mira said as she pulled out a map. "Yep there it is."

The girls and Makarov spent the next twenty minutes walking to Crocus Gardens however when they arrived they noticed a large crowd had formed.

"I wonder what's going on," Erza asked as both Elise and Wendy sniffed the air.

"Impossible!"

"That can't be right!"

"What's wrong you two," Mira asked as they began to wade through the crowd until they arrived up the front to see Natsu in his Wizard Saint garb being confronted by four men.

The first man who was standing up the back with a small smirk on his face wore what they assumed to be some sort of musketeerian type getup, he kept two fingers on his hat at all times.

The man next to him was a brute of a man, he wore no shirt and had combat pants on with combat boots, he had a smirk in place the same as two of his friends.

The third man seemed very out of place, he had black hair with an almost completely black getup and wasn't smiling simply watching and analysing.

The final man was the exact opposite of his friend he had blonde hair with an almost completely white getup and was right up in Natsu's face.

"So you're supposed to be the famous Salamander Natsu Dragneel huh you don't look like shit, you think wearing the garb of a Wizard Saint means something when you can't even back up the name!"

"Sorry do I know you?"

"You should, the names Sting S Class Mage of the Sabertooth guild and I'm a Dragon Slayer! But don't think you can lump me in with you I'm what you call a Third Generation Slayer and so is Rogue here!"

"Dragon Slayers," Mira gasped as the two Dragon Slayers stood right up in Natsu's face.

"Is that supposed to mean something to me?"

"You bet it should because unlike you we've already managed to do what you couldn't do and kill a Dragon and take their power for our own!"

"I highly doubt the two of you killed a Dragon," Natsu said clearly unamused.

"Of course we did we killed our Dragon parents once they couldn't teach us anything else and took their power for our own!"

"You aren't fooling me at the level the two of you are at there isn't a chance in hell either of you killed a Dragon."

"You'd better not underestimate us Natsu we're far superior to a feeble First Generation Slayer like you!"

"Is that so … and I bet that you think that the Dragon Force makes you superior don't you well let me tell you something it doesn't, the Dragon Force is one aspect of what truly makes a Dragon Slayer having the lacrima's implanted into you in order to access it through alternative means actually makes the form much weaker since you failed to master the previous forms and truly master the flaws in your element."

"Our elements have no flaws being Third Generation Slayers makes them far superior to anything you could possibly throw at us!"

"You want to make a bet on that," Natsu said keeping a stern gaze on the blonde in front of him.

"Yeah anytime anywhere!"

"Alright then … I bet that my adoptive daughter Wendy could utterly crush the both of you using the power of her element, like me she is a First Generation Slayer but unlike you she earned all her power through hard work and persistence and let me tell you it would make your power look like a joke."

Erza was about to protest when she felt Wendy squeeze her hand tightly, looking down at the girl she was shocked to see the look of fury in her eyes.

"I hate people like them, they say they can kill their Dragon parents and steal their power for their own yet they probably haven't ever trained even a fraction of what Natsu, me or Gajeel do!"

Meanwhile the blonde in front of Natsu had begun to laugh hysterically.

"You that scared to fight me yourself that you would throw a child against the Twin Dragons of Sabertooth!"

"Wendy isn't a child she shows maturity beyond her years and her power grows with each new experience all she ever needed was someone who could free her from her timid demeanor and show her that she is strong … and that's exactly what I did. Wendy is more than a match for two little brats like you who talk of power yet have never worked a day for it."

"What was that you Fairy scum," the blonde said as he raised his fist, light beginning to appear around it.

"Enough Sting save it for the tournament we will crush him then," the black haired boy said as the blonde now known as Sting grit his teeth.

"Oh and my good friend Elise will kick your sorry ass too you wannabe God Slayer, and you I don't know what you're trying to prove dressing up like a bard but there is only one person who is king of Maker Magic and that's Gray Fullbuster."

"That's it this punks going down," Sting shouted as he attempted to hit Natsu only for an overwhelming amount of magical pressure to flood the area and the four mages in front of him to take several steps back.

"You should do as your friend there suggests Sting then again what's a little magical power to you hmm?"

Sting grit his teeth and shook his head before smirking. "We'll settle this in the Games, Sabertooth will crush Fairy Fail and show you all why you should just keel over and die!"

With that the four members of Sabertooth stormed away leaving Natsu standing there alone and to his thoughts, he was quickly snapped out of it when Wendy rushed over and gave him a hug.

Natsu smiled and returned the hug and knelt down to meet the girls gaze.

"You saw all of that didn't you?"

Wendy just nodded with a grin before hugging Natsu again as the rest of the group walked over.

"What the hell was up that guy's ass," Elise said with a grin as Natsu sighed.

"Figured they would be in this tournament I'd heard about the Twin Dragons before but seeing them in person I'm not impressed."

"Natsu you shouldn't put Wendy forward for things like that," Erza scolded as Natsu shook his head.

"I wasn't kidding you know after the training I put her through I think she could legitimately beat those two, of course I taught her a few tricks but most of it will be her own power."

Erza just sighed and shook her head as Makarov stepped forward.

"Well thankfully that didn't erupt into a fight or you could have gotten into some serious trouble, anyway we are staying at the Honey Bone Inn so let's get going."

Natsu nodded and the group made their way over to the inn and spent the rest of the day lounging around until night fell.

Makarov and Natsu stood outside whilst the guild inside began to party, sighing Makarov turned to Natsu who had a serious look on his face.

"Did you know Ivan is going to be entering Raven Tail into the tournament?"

"WHAT," Makarov roared as he looked at Natsu hoping it was a sick joke only to find no trace of humour whatsoever.

"It's true I found out from Gajeel since we actually met up with him and Levy on our training trip the two of us were out hunting and we ended up stumbling across the information."

"And by stumbling across you mean …"

"Wiping out several Dark Guilds in the area because Jellal asked really really nicely," Natsu said with a grin as Makarov sighed.

"Yes I suppose that would be the easiest way to find out, any idea why?"

"Why else gramps …. Fairy Heart."

"So he still seeks it after all this time, bad enough you know about it let alone him!"

"Hey Mavis mentioned it at one time it wasn't my fault!"

"No no I wasn't blaming you it's just … you know it's meant to be a secret."

"Yeah and rest assured Ivan won't ever get it hell it was his chance to take it while we were gone for seven years and he didn't."

"Yes I have been wondering why he didn't make a move for all those years and for the life of me I can't figure it out, perhaps he doesn't know where it is contained…"

"Gramps you are gonna spill the secret if you keep going on about it."

"Ah crap I did almost do that didn't I at least I know you won't go off the rails like my son did for it, being good is just ingrained into you."

"Yeah maybe," Natsu said internally trying not to laugh since he was actually E.N.D which would contradict the statement in every way.

"So what did the Council want?"

"Well they wanted to let me know that I will be tested during the games but also a report on the state of Scarlione and an estimate on the exact strength of Alvarez."

"And what did you say?"

"I said that the strength of Alvarez isn't something that can be gauged since we took out one of the Spriggan 12 only for her to return as a Demon even stronger than before, then I said maybe if all the Saints and Guild Masters united we could probably beat most of the Spriggan except two."

"One of those is Irene isn't it … such a troublesome woman that one, all that power only to turn out so evil."

"Well I wouldn't say she's evil more like she follows her leader blindly and without question after all those are the best kind of soldiers the ones that will march to their deaths without a second thought if their leader orders them to."

"So who is the other one?"

"A man named August …. that guy is one of the few people I am legitimately afraid of, his power makes no sense and I've met Gods remember."

"That sounds most troublesome … and then there is the Emperor himself who no one knows anything about."

"Yeah," Natsu said as he grit his teeth knowing who the real leader was.

"Anyway we should head on inside there is only ten minutes until midnight and the curfew is active.

Natsu nodded and the two made their way inside and Natsu walked over to the bar.

"Hey Natsu I need to talk to you … in private," Mira said as Natsu nodded and the two disappeared into the back.

"Alright so here's the deal-."

/The next day – Domus Flau/

The collesseum was packed to the brim full of eager fans waiting to witness the opening of the Grand Magic Games, the cheers could be heard all over Crocus as everyone who wasn't able to attend in person could watch the games from just about anywhere.

"Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the Eighth annual Grand Magic Games … tell me people of Fiore ARE … YOU … READY!"

The thunderous roar of approval across the capital was all the announcer needed to continue.

"It is with great pleasure that I Chapati Lola am back once again to commentate this outstanding event alongside everyone's favourite Six Star Gourmet Chef Mr Yajima!"

Once again the crowd roared in approval as Yajima began to speak.

"Yes Chapati it looks like this year's games will be the biggest yet with almost 99% of Fiore's guilds taking part in the Sky Labarynth last night."

"And what a night that was Mr Yajima we went from over six hundred teams to just eight can you believe it folks because I have the names of the teams right here!"

"But before we introduce the teams for this year's games we of course must thank this year's gracious sponsors, the Magic Council for allowing these games to be held with the 110% commitment to spectator safety, Sorceror Weekly for all the publicity that has lead up to the event, and of course we must always pay respect to his majesty King Toma E. Fiore," Yajima cried as the crowd roared in approval.

"And we would be foolish not to mention today's guest announcer the current Miss Fiore and Blue Pegasus Guild member the lovely miss Jenny Realight!"

"Thank you Chapati and thank you Fiore for this absolutely amazing turnout, watch out because Blue Pegasus is taking the win this year!"

"Bold words for Blue Pegasus however they have proven time and again that they have more right than most to be here easily making it here every year since the Games inception!"

"Now then with the announcements out of the way we shall get onto introducing this year's teams for the games, firstly and with no surprise it is the Sabertooth Guild," Yajima said as the crowd roared in approval.

"Representing Sabertooth this year are Rufus, Orga, Yukino and of course leading the pack the Twin Dragons of Sabertooth Sting and Rogue!"

The roar of approval for the guild was ear piercing as Yajima regain order.

"The next guild who are surprisingly in second place this year are none other than Lamia Scale, representing them are the following guild members. Lyon, Chelia, Yuka, Toby and … oh well now it seems Sabertooth might a real fight on their hands this year, as Team Captain for Lamia Scale Jura Neekis Fifth Ranked Wizard Saint!"

The moment the words left Yajima's mouth the crowd erupted in applause as Lamia Scale walked out onto the field.

"Of course coming in third as always we have Blue Pegasus with Hibiki, Ren, Eve, Nichiya and the leader as always Ichiya!"

"The next team to make it in as always are the lovely ladies over at Mermaid Heel," Yajima said as they began to walk out on the field. "You've seen them in action before and they are not to be underestimated especially since they were so close last year to winning, representing Mermaid Heel are Milliana, Risley, Arana, Beth and the Captain and one of the powerhouses of the tournament Kagura Mikazuchi!"

The crowd erupted into applause as the ladies from Mermaid Heel walked out into the arena.

"Oh what's this the next guild here is a mystery, the guilds name is Highfather and they are being represented by Soru, Yamata, Lysandre, Verity and as Captain … well now this is interesting as Captain of Highfather the mistress death Phyrra of Karn!"

"How the hell can a Dark Guild participate," many in the crowd began to shout as the guild now known as Highfather walked out onto the field.

"Well according to the records I have here Highfather recently applied for Legal Guild status and it was granted by the Magic Council so by all rights they may compete," Yajima said though he frowned when he saw the next guild on the list.

"Anyway coming in next is another guild from out of nowhere known as Raven Tail who are being represented by Flare, Nulpudding, Obra, Kurohebi and their Captain is a man named Alexi!"

The crowd were silent as the other former Dark Guild strolled into the arena seemingly enjoying every minute of the crowds displeasure.

"Anyway not to dwell on one guild for too long here is one that you all will know it's Fairy Tail!"

Many people in the stands began to laugh until they noticed some of the people who were on the team.

"Hey isn't that Titania I thought she was dead?"

"That's Freed from the Thunder Leigion!"

"That's Wendy Marvell she's so adorable!"

"Representing team Fairy Tail we have Freed Justine, Wendy Marvell, Gray Fullbuster, Juvia Lockser and their Captain is the legendary Titania Erza Scarlett!"

The crowd were stunned and began applauding them even though hopes for Fairy Tail actually winning weren't very high it seems that they had managed to regain some key members.

"Well now it looks like Fairy Tail were able to capitalize on the rules of the tournament it seems they managed to slip a second team through," Yajima said with a small smile until he saw the names on it. "MAKI YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS NOT THOSE FIVE THERE WON'T BE A STADIUM LEFT!"

Down in the stands Makarov had turned pale the moment Yajima pointed it out. "Not them … not the money!"

"Team Fairy Tail B as we will call it consists of some of the biggest names to ever come out of the guild! Laxus Dreyar a man who once fought three Dark Guilds by himself and a Lightning Dragon Slayer not to mention S Class mage of Fairy Tail and grandson of the famous Makarov Dreyar, Elise Faulkner former Captain of the Magic Council Dark Guild subjugation squad and the only known War God Slayer who has been known to fight S Class criminals since the age of 14, Gajeel Redfox former S Class mage of Phantom Lord and current mage of Fairy Tail who is an Iron Dragon Slayer and a man who is known as one of Fiore's top spies, Mirajane Strauss S Class mage and one of the strongest mages in the guild. Known as the demoness Mirajane has the power of Demons themselves and has a reputation to be feared throughout the land!"

Yajima thought his heart was going to give out and it almost did when he saw who the team Captain was.

"As … as team Captain of Fairy Tail Team B we have Natsu Dragneel the Salamander, Knight of Scarlione, S Class mage of Fairy Tail, was ranked number six among the Ten Wizard Saints until the Tenrou incident seven years ago, a man who possesses frightening power and almost limitless potential he has utterly crushed every opponent who has dared to stand against him! Jose former Wizard Saint and Guild Master of Phantom Lord, Jellal Fernandes another Wizard Saint and former member of the Magic Council both stood no chance against him! Natsu has defeated two of the three leaders of the Bharam Alliance Brain and Hades of the Oracion Seis and Grimoire Heart and also fought the leader of the Tartaros Guild Mard Geer in one on one combat and lived! MAKI ARE YOU CRAZY ADD GILDARTS AND ERZA TO THE TEAM AND JUST DESTROY CROCUS WHY DON'T YOU!"

Just as the crowd was about to cheer a large lightning bolt in the shape of the Fairy Tail symbol appeared at the exit to the arena and it became surrounded in Dark Magic before exploding.

Everyone in the arena could feel the absolutely immense pressure that was being given off and the team hadn't even entered the arena yet, one by one they emerged. Leading the group was Natsu in his Wizard Saint clothing his magical power being leaked just enough to intimidate the other teams, Laxus was next and like Natsu he was doing the same but sparks crackled around him every few seconds. Next was Elise who was clad in her battle armor which meant that she had ascended since her eyes were crimson and she held an Ebony sword in her hand. Behind her was Mira who was in her Satan Soul her usually cheerful demeanour replaced by one of ruthlessness and terror as she had Dark Magic swirling around her. Finally there was Gajeel who walked out and as he walked he tore off the iron doors leading to the exit and began to eat them as if it was an everyday occurrence which in all seriousness it was for him.

The crowd were stunned into silence for a full minute until they burst into roars of approval ones that were louder than even Sabertooth received, said guild were currently glaring at Team B who simply ignored them.

"What … an … entrance folks what did I say about this year being the best one yet," Chapati shouted as the crowd roared in approval.

"Indeed this year will prove to be one of the best Games Fiore has ever had and we'll be right here alongside you all to give you the play by play commentary," Yajima added.

As the crowd roared in approval down on the ground the guilds had begun to mix with each other.

"The mighty Salamander finally back from Scarlione is there nothing that can keep you down!"

"Jura Neekis long time no see literally you look like an old monk," Natsu said as the two shared a laugh.

"I've heard that you are to be tested during the games I cannot wait to see your performance I'm sure it will be a thrilling battle."

"As if the Council is even bothering letting a washout like him back into the Wizard Saints just goes to show how the standard of what makes a good mage has slipped these last few years," Sting said cockily as many of the guilds that knew Natsu personally knew full well that the kid was digging his grave as fast as Gildarts would be able to excavate a hole with his Crash Magic.

"Cocky brats like you are usually the first ones in the body bags when the action kicks off Sting maybe if you spent more time training instead of talking trash then we'd have something to talk about. You know at a first glance of everyone here from all the other guilds gathered minus your own there are nine people who could take you out."

"You lecture me about talking trash then make a pathetic statement like that just goes to show that you really are an idiot, a weak, pathetic washout who couldn't even slay a Dragon!"

"I'd like to see you even face down Achnologia like Natsu did you little bastard," Elise growled.

"It would only take a minute at most for me to take out that piece of work and even less for someone like you Natsu!"

"You seriously have a problem with me don't you?"

"Of course I do you made all Dragon Slayers look like absolute garbage when you couldn't even kill Achnologia, to make matters worse there were FOUR Slayers there!"

"Considering just how powerful the four Slayers are don't you think that it only makes Achnologia's power that much more immense than your own," Jura countered as Sting scoffed.

"You wouldn't understand you aren't a Dragon Slayer!"

"I may not be a Dragon Slayer however I have fought beside one before and the power I felt all those years ago was something that even today I would still focus all my attention on, you clearly don't understand the way magical power works and until you do you will never understand just how much of a gap there is between you and countless other mages in this world."

"As usual Jura makes a strong case one that exudes a most potent parfum I might add, power comes from trial and experience and only those who have truly tried and suffered to reach said heights will ever truly be able to fathom the exact complexity of it."

"What Ichiya is trying to say is you clearly aren't experienced enough to be able to read an opponent like some of the other mages here because if you could and you realized just how much you mouthed off at the wrong people you would be running out of this arena with your tail in between your legs," Lyon added gaining nods from many of the other mages on the ground including most of the former Dark Guild mages which surprised many in the crowd.

Sting just scowled as a large screen appeared above them taking attention away from the confrontation in the ring.

"Alright here we have the schedule for the next five days, make sure you all prepare accordingly for the coming challenges because this year the King wishes to see more combat oriented games that skip out on the fancy stuff," Yajima said as the screen flashed with the words DAY ONE in bold up the top.

"And now ladies and gentlemen it's time to announce the first challenge for today the Five Layered Anarchy Pit," Chapati shouted as the crowd cheered.

"The rules are quite simple each team will choose one member to represent them and they will wait near one of the small spheres placed along the arena's edge, once everyone is in place each player will be whisked into the Anarchy Pit," Yajima said as Chapati took over.

"And yes ladies and gentlemen the Anarchy Pit is as its name suggests Five Layered, you may be wondering what the Anarchy Pit is like well put simply it's a place where we have placed monsters into it with the difficulty scaled by which layer you are currently on One being the easiest and Five being the layer with S Class beasts!"

The crowd roared in approval as Yajima began to speak.

"Now the goal for this task is rather straightforward, each mage is tasked with reaching the end of the gauntlet and claiming the tome at the end which will be worth fifty points, the monsters on levels One through Four aren't worth any points however the S Class beasts on level Five are worth ten points each with there being a total of four of them roaming around down there. Eliminating other competitors isn't going to get you points but remember it does deny them a chance at gaining any so it will be up to you as to your course of action."

"Now could you each select a member to enter the Anarchy Pit whilst the rest of your teams wait in the viewing boxes," Chapati said as the groups began to disperse.

"All right you guys I've got this one," Gajeel said with a grin making his way over to the assigned area as the rest of the team shook their heads.

"Well at least he saved us the trouble of having to decide," Laxus said with both Mira and Elise giggling.

"Hey looks like the others chose Gray to go in," Natsu said with a grin. "I'm keen to see how good he is after seven years."

The group nodded as they made their way up into the spectators' box and watched as each member who had been standing in their assigned area disappeared.

"All right everyone the last of the competitors has entered the arena, let the first challenge of the Grand Magic Games ….BEGIN," Chapati shouted as the crowd roared in excitement.

I hope you all enjoyed it and I'll see you in the next one.
