Grand Opening of the Grand Magic Games!

Fairy Tail team are seen waiting inside a room within the Domus Flau for the opening ceremony of the Grand Magic Games to start while doing some taking of strategy and other stuff. While getting themselves ready, the group hears the crowd sitting on the stance sits inside the arena cheering loud.

"Wow, would you listen to that crowd." Erza said.

"I didn't think there's be so many people watching." Lucy said feeling nervous.

"The city is full of wizards from all over the country. Of course, folks want to see them in action." Gray stated.

"I'm not so sure about wearing purple, red and black are more of my personal color." Shadow stated, looking at himself in the mirror of the purple Fairy Tail uniform that was made.

"Yeah, it's so lame. I'd rather wear my regular clothes instead of this crap." Natsu complained.

"Purple or not, you two will just have to deal with it. Unless you want to tell Master why you think the clothes he picked are so 'lame'?" Lucy warned making Natsu scared a bit.

"You won't hear me complaining; I think they're adorable." Erza believed.

"What about Gray? He's not wearing the other half on his top part yet." Shadow pointed out.

"Oh, no wonder I hardly felt anything." Gray realized.

"Anyway, we should be careful of who we'll be dealing with. There are some in the competition who would want to take us eve before the games start, like that little weird creature I found last night before the preliminary round." Shadow mentioned.

"And you said it was going to attack Wendy?" Erza asked.

"Yeah, probably thinks she was going to be part of the team for the games." Shadow guessed.

"There is a high possibility that we'll meet the one who owned that creature in the games." Lucy stated.

"I wonder if they were trying to weaken our teamwork before the games." Gray theorized.

"Well, they screwed up and now we're going to show them why you should never mess with Fairy Tail." Natsu smirked with his fist all flame up.

(In the Arena)

"We're just moments away from the start of the Grand Magic Games, folks! I'm lead commentator, Chapati Lola." Chapati introduced himself.

Chapati is a middle aged short man, thin and pale-skinned. His smooth face is unusual, square and very big when compared to his small eyes, thin eyebrows, nose, mouth and chin, all close together and located in the middle of the face with a neatly combed black hair. He wears a simple dark suit with a light shirt under it, dark pants and a tie, where it reads "Grand Magic Games".

"And I'll be handling the play-by-play while former Council member Yajima provides commentary!" Chapati said and turns to Yajima sitting next to him.

Yajima is a short, old man with thick light-brown eyebrows and a small toothbrush mustache that reaches halfway to his mouth, though after the time-skip, it touches his lower lip. He wears a white chef uniform with the head chef hat.

"Mr. Yajima, glad to have you with us sir." Chapati said.

"Glad to be here." Yajima greeted.

"And let's not forget our special guest. A member of Blue Pegasus and current holder of the title "Miss Fiore"; the ravishing Jenny Realite!" Chapati introduced to the woman next to Yajima.

"Blue Pegasus is bringing home the gold this year!" Jenny cheered.

Jenny is a slim young woman of average height. She has long, wavy and flowing blonde hair, gathered on the back of her head and tied in a ponytail that reaches down to her middle back, with two short bangs framing her face, and a decorative flower with large petals adorning the right part of her head, above her right ear. Her face is soft in shape, and she has large light blue eyes with long eyelashes. Jenny's Blue Pegasus stamp is located on her left shoulder. Jenny also dons a fair amount of jewelry; a pair of earrings, those being reminiscent of two fragments of a thin chain, each composed by two rectangular, rounded links; circling her neck is a light necklace composed of many flat, square metal parts, and both of her wrists bear bracelets, with two of them, covered in a wavy pattern, being present on the right one, and a third, consisting of three thin circlets joined together, adorning her left one. Her right little finger sports a ring. She wears a sparkly, light-pink strapless sequin dress[2] while in the anime, it's a light-pink dress, revealing a fair share of her ample cleavage and reaching down to her calves, which bears a large slash on the skirt's left part. Tied around her waist is a long, flowing light cloth with ruffled edges, circling most of her lower body, with her sparkly skirt under it, and she wears pink high heels for footwear. Breasts sizes: H-cup.

"Now, the time has come to meet our competitors! First up, in eight place: the rowdy army of hellhounds. Quatro Cerberus!"

"Let's get wild! You with me!" Rocker asked his team and they cheer with him.

"I expect a win this year, don't disappoint me." Goldmine smiled.

"And coming in seventh is a guild filled to the brim with the fairer sex! The dancers of the great, blue sea. Mermaid Heel!" Chapati announced as they walk together into the field.

"And coming in sixth place, this will a big shocker to you all. This guild was known for always being in last place after losing their number one title, now have broken that record as they are determined to show everyone that they are still the best: Team Fairy Tail!" Chapati announced as Fairy Tail team walk to the field.

Shadow and the others notices that some of the crowds are booing at them, saying they should just leave despite not coming in last place this year, while others are shock as they wonder if Fairy Tail can really do better this year.

"Who would have thought they would make it this far after losing every year? Securing a spot in the prelims was no small feat for, especially getting ahead than last place. Will the Terou Team's along with Fairy Tail's new member Shaodw help Fairy Tail become Fiore's greatest guild?" Chapati asked curious.

"It looks like we made quite an impression on them." Shadow pointed out.

"I'm proud of them, way to go, kiddos! Now, get out there and show 'em what you can do." Yajima cheered.

"Cheer until you bust a lung!" Makarov ordered as he and the whole guild in the VIP room cheers for the team.

"The cheers of our comrades are all the support we need." Erza said as Lucy agrees.

"Great to see everyone here, though I don't see Rouge up there." Shadow noticed at his bat girlfriend is missing, and then he saw something else with the Fairy Tail group.

"Huh, guys, who is that?" Shadow asked.

"No way!" Natsu shocked as the rest are.

"Hooray! Hooray! Fairy Tail is number one!" A little girl cheered for them.

"Master Mavis!" The team gasped.

"Mavis, as in the First Guild Master?" Shadow shocked, recalling that Mavis is a ghost when they told him about the island incident.

Mavis has very long, wavy, pastel yellow-blonde hair that reaches down to her feet with a small ahoge; large green eyes with no pupils; peachy skin and a slight child-like build. She wears a frilly, pink layered robe with a red ribbon tied in a bow around her neck. Around the chest are three blue diamond patterns with two blue triangles above. Each series of these is outlined in a hot pink. She wears wing-like adornments around her ears and small hoop earrings.

"And good luck to you too, Shadow!' Mavis cheered.

"Even Master Mavis came out to cheer for us! We got this in the bag." Natsu laughed.

"At least the ghost likes us." Gray said.

"But I'm not really sure about a dead person cheering me." Shadow said, feeling a little weird about this.

"In fifth place. With azure wings that glimmer in the darkness. It's Blue Pegasus!" Team Blue Pegasus entered the field striking the same pose.

"Hey guys, do you best!" Jenny cheered for her guild.

"Isn't that one of your guild allies you told me about?" Shadow asked.

"Yes, they along with another helped our guild into finding us for seven years." Erza nodded.

"Next, in fourth place! The goddess of love and strife! The sacred destroyer! Lamia Scale!" Chapati announced as the guild team comes forth.

"Why'd you only come in fourth place, huh? I thought I told you kids not to hold back!" Ooba shouted.

"Yeah, sorry about that, old hag. I wasn't watchin where I was going." One girl apologized before tripping.

"Never seen her before." Natsu said.

"Probably a recent new member." Shadow guessed.

"She looks like a smaller version of that girl, Sherry." Gray said.

"Promise me you'll watch your step." Lyon asked.

"No promises, Lyon." The girl chuckled.

"This is Shelia; she's one of Sherry's cousins." Yuka explained.

Sherria is a petite young girl with blue eyes and her amaranth hair is tied up in two short pigtails with orange bows. She wears a pale blue mini skirt, a pink, sleeveless top with a dark blue center and a folded collar with yet another orange ribbon tied around it and a heart emblem on her left breast and an "X" on her right. She wears short white gloves coupled with orange wristbands, on top of a longer pink fabric that reaches her upper arms and is kept in place by armbands that match the ones on her wrists. For hosiery, she has long black stockings and white legwarmers atop black shoes. Breasts sizes: D-cup.

"That makes sense." Natsu said.

"And she's crazy strong to boot!" Toby bragged.

"Why are you wearing a sock as a necklace?" Shadow asked pointing at it.

"Huh? Hey, it's my missing sock!" Toby gasped making Shadow sweatdrop.

"Forgive him, he's an idiot." Yuka sighed.

"I need a lot more love if I wanna compete with Sherry." Shelia stated.

"Being love-crazy must run in the family." Gray commented.

"(Why am I suddenly feeling strange toward her like Rouge. As I remember right, Rouge and I came to this world younger as we're 19, yet I feel like I'm drawn to another girl who is a few years younger than me.)" Shadow thought confused.

"Just don't forget about our agreement of Juvia joining us if we win." Lyon reminded him.

"I don't recall making that bet, not that it'll matter when you lose." Gray smirked.

"Then we'll take Erza as my one and only!" Ichiya said.

"You will be no such thing, you troll!" Erza creeped out.

"I'm sorry, but I can never resist the scent of your beautiful parfum!" Ichiya sniffed Erza creeping her out more until Shadow knocked him down with a punch.

"I think you should all focus on the game right now." Shadow glared making the boys of Blue Pegasus flinches in fear.

"Now to introduce our third-place contestants! What a shocker, swooping in from a midnight dreary, this dark and gloomy bunch are making their debut in this year's games. Give it up for Raven Tail!" Five Raven Tail's wizards came out with black smoke and feathers.

All of Fairy Tail are shock of seeing them, mostly Makarov with an angry expression.

"I take it they're not the friendly types of guild." Shadow guessed.

"No, their leader is master's son, Ivan who was kicked out of Fairy Tail for endangering his fellow guild mates." Erza explained.

"And last I heard; their guild is a dark guild. So, what the heck is going on?" Gray asked.

"Their records seem to be in order. They have been active for over seven years until recently, they've been approve as an official guild." Chapati informed.

"If they have official statues then they're technically not a dark guild and are, therefore, eligible to complete." Yajima added.

"Curse you, Ivan. I don't know how you did it, but whatever you're planning, I swear I'll stop you." Makarov promised with a hard fist.

On the other side of the arena, Ivan is watching the scene he can tell his father is angry and can't wait to see how much despair he'll fall once Fairy Tail loses to his guild.

"Shadow, I'm impress that you were able to see through our little 'trap' last night." Alexei said as the small creature Shadow stopped raspberry spit at him.

"I see, so it was you guys." Shadow glared.

"No need to get hasty, the festival is just getting started." Alexei chuckled as he and his team walks away.

"I wonder who the other guild is. We already know one of them is Sabretooth." Natsu asked.

"Those it's possible one team could be tie to Zeref." Gray theorized.

"That's assuming Jellal's intuition was right. I guess we'll know soon." Erza said.

"(I'm getting a weird feeing that we may already the guild who's in second place.)" Shadow thought.

"Now for the second-lace guild is… Oh wow, this year's competition just got a whole lot more interesting, folks!" Chapati excited.

Everyone looks to the entrance and became gasp, mostly for team Fairy Tail as they see their guild's emblem in lightning form and reveals five familiar faces.

"It's Fairy Tail Team B!" Chapati announced.

Fairy Tail Team B is made up of Gajeel, Juvia, Mirajane, Laxus, and Rouge.

"What the fuck?" Natsu confused.

"Another Fairy Tail team! How is that fair?" Lucy asked.

"Rouge?" Shadow surprised.

"Hey there, cutie. Surprise to see me here?" Rouge winked at him.

"I certainly didn't expect them to have two teams." Ichyia surprised.

"Beautiful." Lyon blushed at the sight of Juvia.

"So, she's the one you're fawning over." Sherry pouted.

"Of course, they have two teams in. I wouldn't expect anything less." Hikibi smiled.

"(Laxus and Gajeel are joining the party.)" Alexei thought interested.

"Hey, why the Hell does Fairy Tail have two teams?" Rocker demanded answers.

"That what we like to know." Shadow shouted back.

"I think they newly implemented rules may have left our audience a bit perplexed, Mr. Yajima. Care to explain?" Chapati asked.

"Sure thing. The committee in charge of the Grand Magic Games permitted each guild to enter two team, which they felt would make the preliminaries more exciting.

"Why didn't you tell us this was your plan, Master?" Lucy asked.

"You like that? This is how the Fairy Tail guild takes care of business, baby!" Makarov laughed wildly.

"I'm not sure if the committee thought this through." Shadow sweatdropped. Strange, Chapati said the same thing.

"Won't having two teams from the same guild kind of stack the odds?" Chapati asked.

"You worry too much; to be honest, I don't think it'll be a problem." Yajima said picking his nose a little.

"Well, it's totally unfair if you ask me. Let's say there's an event where each team chooses a member to compete against the others in a battle royale. There's nothing to stop the Fairy Tail members from teaming up with each other." Jenny pointed out.

"That does give them an advantage. But I guess that's their reward for being the only guild out of over one hundred with two teams in the games." Chapati stated.

"You certainly had the upper hand. Way to go, Mocky!" Yajima cheered as Makarov laughs again.

"This is a load of crap!" Natsu shouted shocking the other teams and the audience.

"Being in the same guild don't mean a thing; if I fight against any of you, I'm not pulling any punches! As long as we're in this tournament you're my enemies, and I ain't gonna lose to any of you!" Natsu declared.

"I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm looking forward to making you eat dirt, Salamander." Gajeel smirked.

"I wasn't expecting to see you here, Rouge." Shadow said.

"What can I say, I wanted to see how I can fair in this games and it was also to stop Jellal from joining." Rouge mentioned.

"What do you mean stopping Jellal?" Shadow asked.

"I'll explain later, right now let just enjoy the festival." Rouge kissed him on the lips for a second.

"And last, and certainly not least is the team that came in first place in the preliminaries!" The crowd started cheering. "That's right, you know them. You love them! Now, get on your feet and scream for the most powerful guild in all of Fiore! The one and only Sabretooth!" Chapati announced.

The Sabretooth guild team have come out basking in the cheers of their fans, but not all were cheering Natsu, Gajeel, and Shadow are glaring at the team, mostly on Sting and Rogue.

"Time to show them which guild is truly the strongest." Shadow said with his red eyes glowing.
