Gray was dragged into the infirmary after his fight with Kuro, leaving the score Fairy Tail, seven, and White Eclipse, seven. "Heh…you guys can handle the rest without me for a while, right?" Gray asked, leaning against Juvia for support, because she was the one who picked up as soon as she was able to.

"Of course, Gray," Natsu nodded. "We're not going to let your win go in vain.

"We're going to take them down!" Lucy and Cynthia nodded in unison.

"So, break time…?" Calium asked.

"No way!" Natsu shouted. "Let's keep going! No stops!"

"COOOL!" Jason was watching from the announcer stands, grinning. "THIS IS ALL SO COOL!"

"We'll keep going, if that's alright," Makarov nodded slowly.

Calium turned to Team White Eclipse. "Is that alright with you?"

"Fine by us," Reve replied. "Not like it's going to matter in the end, we're going to win.

"That's what you think!" Mavis shouted from across the stands…only to realize that only the Fairy Tail mages could hear her.

"They can't hear you…" Cynthia coughed awkwardly.

"I know…" Mavis lowered her head and began to tear up.

"Oh, not again…" Wendy waved her hands frantically.

"Time to start the roulette," Calium nodded, looking up at the lacrima screen as it began to shuffle the fourteen contestants around again. The roulette stopped on Gajeel and Selene. "Gajeel Redfox vs. Selene Marquise."

"Oh, you're up, Selena. Better not lose," Reve said.

"Don't worry, I won't lose. Fairy Tail is going down," Selene nodded slowly, stepping into the middle of the arena.

"Gajeel's fighting…" Sting pointed out to Rouge.

"I know…" Rogue nodded slowly.

"Gihehe, so, what can you do, girly?" Gajeel asked, rolling his shoulder to loosen up.

"Why don't you fight me, and find out, Black Steel?" Selene replied, getting herself into an offensive position.

"I like your attitude, this'll be fun," Gajeel said with a smirk.

"Go, Gajeel!" Levy shouted from the sidelines.

"You ready?" Selene asked Gajeel, cracking her knuckles.

"Been ready!" Gajeel smirked, making the gesture for Selene to charge him, and that she did. Selene ran forward, pulling a fist back as diamonds formed around her arm, enhancing her attacking.

"Diamonds?" Gajeel raised an eyebrow as he brought his arm up, forming it into an iron pole to take the brunt of Selene's fist, feeling the slight crack of his iron arm from Selene's impact. "What?" He thought to himself before bringing his knee into Selene's stomach, winding the girl as she took a few steps back, smirking slightly.

"The expression on your face says it all…" Selene replied, taking heavy breaths to catch her breath. "Diamonds are harder than steel, you know," Selene said, regaining her composure rather quickly.

"Diamonds!?" Natsu blurted out.

"Diamonds are a girl's best friend…" Lucy started. "But I didn't think a girl could actually use diamonds like that!"

"Come on, Gajeel!" Patherlily shouted.

"Gihehe, we'll see about that, won't we? Let's see what breaks first, my steel, or your diamonds!" Gajeel pointed his slightly cracked iron arm forward, immediately shifting it into an iron pole that raced towards Selene's face. Selene shifted her upper body to the left, narrowly avoiding the iron pole as it flew past her. "Heh!" Gajeel smirked, his teeth showing as small, but still fairly large, iron poles extended from his arm, one of the poles striking Selene in the shoulder, causing her to stumble back. Gajeel used his opening to retract his arm and jump into the air as iron scales covered his fist. "Iron Dragon's Hard Fist!"

"Selene, look out!" Aira shouted.

"Hm…" Selene allowed diamonds to cover both of her arms, and she morphed one arm into a diamond shield just as Gajeel swung his iron fist, clashing with the shield. Selene then used her strength to push Gajeel away before charging with her own fist pulled back.

"Tch, that's gonna be annoying," Gajeel thought to himself. Selene swung her diamond coated fist at Gajeel's face, but he ducked, sticking his leg out as it morphed into an iron pole, extending it into Selene's stomach, the momentum and constant extension caused Selene to slide across the ground on her feet unwillingly, letting out a small groan of pain from the pole. Gajeel pulled his foot back with a smirk. "Something wrong, Diamond Girl?" He asked in a somewhat mocking tone.

"Just getting warmed up, Black Steel," Selene replied with a small smirk. Selene turned her shield back into her diamond encased arm and ran towards Gajeel again, this time throwing a combo of punches at his face and midsection, trying to prevent him from getting another attack like he did last time.

"Good, because this'll be boring if that's all ya got!" Gajeel's iron scales covered his arms, and he engaged Selene in close combat. Gajeel dodged a few of Selene's punches by shifting his body over to the side, and cocked his left arm back, landing a powerful punch to Selene's chest; but the Diamond Dragon Slayer didn't give up, she moved her head to the side, avoiding Gajeel's next punch and landed her own punch to his torso, causing Gajeel to grunt slightly. Gajeel didn't admit this out loud, but he was semi impressed with Selene's abilities so far, and knew she was going to give him a good back. Gajeel cocked his right arm back this time as Selene cocked her left arm back; the two swung their fist simultaneously, clashing, creating a shock wave from the power and magical energy. Gajeel grimaced slightly as he learned that Selene's diamonds were quite hard, and he could feel it through his steel. He wasn't sure if Selene could feel his steel through her diamonds, but he wasn't about to let her have the satisfaction of knowing he knew. Gajeel jumped back just a few feet just as Selene swung another fist, putting all her weight into it this time; but she missed, and she staggered a little, attempting to regain her balance as Gajeel started puffing his cheeks out, "Iron Dragon's…"

"Selena, move!" Reve shouted.

"Too late…!" Aira looked away.

"ROAR!" Gajeel opened his mouth, sending a grey funnel of sharp metal in Selene's direction, the close range giving the girl no time to react as she was consumed by the attack, letting out a shriek of pain as a minor dust cloud covered her. "Giehehe!"

"That's how it's done, Gajeel!" Patherlily smirked. "Gajeel is without a doubt the strongest Dragon Slayer."

"Pssh, he wishes," Natsu said confidently.

Gajeel looked on into the smoke as it cleared, his eyes widening somewhat when he saw Selene's body covered in diamonds. Selene's outfit was shredded from the Iron Dragon's Roar, but other than that, she looked as though she took no damage at all. "Is that all you got…?"

"What the…!?" Lucy gasped as she looked at Selene's new appearance. "Diamonds covered her body!?"

"What the…?" Sting sat up in his sat, looking at Selene intently. "Are you seeing this, Rouge!?"

Rogue nodded slowly; taking note that Selene was going to be a tough opponent for Gajeel to face. "Diamonds…Just like Gajeel's steel…but…harder."

"I guess she's done playing around?" Cygnus asked.

"Looks like it," Arcturus said quietly. "Now, let's see what she can do…"

"My turn," Selene smirked, rushing at Gajeel with her fist pulled back.

"Gajeel, look out!" Cynthia screamed from the sidelines. "Those diamonds are dangerous!"

"I noticed," Gajeel mumbled to himself as Selene started throwing fast, diamond encased punches at Gajeel's upper body. Using his iron scales to his full defensive advantage, Gajeel brought his arms up, blocking a few of Selene's punches, feeling the steel on his arms crack slightly from the diamond's impact. "This isn't good…" Gajeel thought to himself as he strafed an incoming punch, swinging his leg forward, morphing it into an iron pole in mid swing to increase the power as it hit Selene's side, the impact causing Selene to stumble to the side a few feet, but she recovered easily thanks to her diamond defenses.

"Roar…" Selene puffed her cheeks out, much to Gajeel's surprise.

"Dragon Slayer!?" Gajeel's eyes widened as a green magic circle formed under him.

"Of the Diamond Dragon!" Selene threw her head forward, unleashing a vortex of sharp diamonds on Gajeel, engulfing him in the attack. "Heh…" When the roar subsided, Gajeel was in his own Iron Scales, panting slightly.

"Damn…that hurt…" Gajeel thought to himself as he felt the small cracks along his iron scales; they were unnoticeable for the time being, but he knew Selene's diamonds were very problematic. His shirt was nearly torn to pieces from the attack, so his chest was bare. "Giehe, is that all you got?"

"You're a stubborn one, aren't you…?" Selene glared over Gajeel.

"Bein' a part of Fairy Tail does that to a person," Gajeel smirked as he extended an arm to his side, morphing it into a sword with sharp, spiked edges.

"What the hell is that…?" Luke glanced at Gajeel's razor sharp sword, raising an eyebrow.

"Iron Dragon's Sword!" The sword started rotating like a chainsaw while Gajeel smirked. "This thing can cut through anything, Diamond Girl."

"Oh really now…?" Selene held her arm out to her side, morphing her arm into a diamond sword. "Let's test that, shall we?"

"Agreed!" Gajeel gave a slight grin as he ran forward towards Selene, immediately swinging his chainsaw-like sword down at Selene, who countered by swinging her sword at Gajeel's, the two swords clashing.

"Tch…" Selene clenched her teeth slightly, feeling the spinning sword grinding roughly against her diamond sword. She wasn't going to admit that Gajeel's steel probably had the power to at least cut her diamonds, mostly because she didn't believe it. The two then entered fierce swordplay, slashing their swords at each other, sparks flying from the collision of the two hard materials.

"Gajeel…" Rouge said quietly, watching the Iron Dragon Slayer and the Diamond Dragon Slayer's sword play.

"Come on, Gajeel! Don't let her beat you!" Natsu shouted, cupping his hands to the side of his mouth to amplify his voice, making sure it got over to Gajeel.

"That's right!" Levy shouted. "You can win this!"

"YAH!" Gajeel spotted an opening in Selene's offensive defense, and slashed his sword across the left side of her face, seemingly having no effect.

"You're open!" Selene swung her sword diagonally on Gajeel's chest, making a cut across his iron scales. Selene then jumped back, admiring her work on Gajeel's iron scales. "Your iron scales are butter to my diamonds," Selene said with a large smirk. "You haven't even made a scratch on my diamonds yet!"

"I think Selene has this match in the bag," Taya said.

"Of course she does," Luke nodded. "She is a mage of White Eclipse after all, and diamonds are pretty damn hard if I do say so myself."

"She's right…" Cynthia bit her lip nervously at Selene's words. "Iron isn't as hard as Diamond…"

"Don't give up hope on Gajeel just yet…" Mavis said in a reassuring tone.

"Gajeel's head is hard enough to break those diamonds; I bet…he does have a hard head…" Levy said while crossing her arms, looking over at Gajeel with a worried expression.

"That girl is really strong…" Sting said to Rouge, who was watching the fight intently.

"Fro think so too!" Frosch replied absentmindedly. Rogue, however, stayed silent.

"Gieheh…" Gajeel's only response was his signature laugh. "GIHEHEHE!" Gajeel's laugh only caused Selene to raise an eyebrow.

"Do you find something funny about all of this?" Selene asked, crossing her arms.

"I do! I think it's time you woke up and smelt the daisies, Diamond Girl. Not even a scratch, huh?" Gajeel smirked, and right after he did, a large cut appeared on the diamonds on the side of Selene's face, causing her eyes to widen.

"W-What!?" Selene placed her hand on the large crack, her pupils growing smaller as her eyes widened even more. "B-But how…!?"

"I told you, Iron Dragon's Sword can cut through anything!" Gajeel raised his sword high, and then slammed it into the ground, sending a ground rippling shockwave towards Selene.

"Gah!" Selene was too worried about the crack in her diamond shield to focus on anything else, and the shockwave knocked her off her feet, also blowing her back a few yards.

"Selena, focus!" Reve shouted.

"I told you not to worry about him," Mavis grinned.

"That's the Gajeel I know!" Natsu smirked. "Now take her down!"

Gajeel turned his arm back to normal, pointing his fingers out as a green magic circle appeared in front of him, "Iron Dragon's Lance; Demon Logs!" Multiple iron spears shot out from the magic circle, making direction contact with Selene's diamond coated body. Though Gajeel wasn't just aiming them all at her body, he was aiming for the weakest point; the crack he made earlier. The spears that connected with the crack succeeded in making it larger, now spreading across her face and her body slowly.

"Selene, what are you doing, get up!" Luke shouted.

"GAH…" Selene stood up just as Gajeel's assault finished, only to see Gajeel coming down with the Iron Dragon's Sword once again. Selene morphed her arm into a diamond shield just as Gajeel brought his sword down against the shield. The ensuing struggle lasted for a few seconds before Selene's diamond shield started to crack, forcing Selene to jump back as Gajeel's sword impacted the ground, splitting it apart.

"Where do you think you're going!?" Gajeel pointed his sword arm out, extending it as he swung it to the right, catching Selene's side and slammed her into the wall, creating dust from the impact.

"Go, Gajeel!" Levy shouted, waving her arms around happily.

"Come on, Selena, stop messing around!" Reve shouted once again.

"That's the Gajeel I know…" Rouge said quietly.

"Fro think so too!" Frosch said happily.

Selene stood up slowly, panting. "I'm not going to lose…"

"Yes you are!" Gajeel puffed his cheeks out as he neared Selene. "Roar…" Selene had no time to react as Gajeel was right in front of her face. "Of the Iron Dragon!" Gajeel released the roar at point blank range, slamming into Selene, her diamond shield cracking immensely as she skidded across the ground on her side, not moving.

"Gihehe…" Gajeel smirked, panting from the amount of magic he used.

"Selene…" Aira's eyes widened.

"YEAH!" Natsu threw a fist into the air. "Nice job, Gajeel!"

"Diamonds…don't break so easily…Black Steel…" Selene said quietly, placing her hands on the ground as she stood up slowly.

"N-Nani…?" Gajeel looked over at Selene, who was now standing on both her feet, hunching over.

"Diamonds are stronger than steel…" Selene's diamond shield shattered, revealing her new appearance. Diamonds scales were now covering the sides of her face, her arms, and legs.

"W-What is…?!" Lucy started.

"Dragon Force…!" Sting gasped.

"Third Generation…" Rogue said, the surprise in his voice taking away from his usual monotonous voice

"Now she's serious…" Takeru said.

"You just don't know when to quit, huh?" Gajeel took a step forward, but Selene's increased speed took him off guard as she threw a punch to his stomach, cracking his iron scales. "!"

"Diamonds easily break Steel…" Selene said in a serious tone, throwing a heavy roundhouse kick at Gajeel's sternum, shattering his iron scales, revealing the many purple bruises all over his body.

"She broke his Iron Scales with just a punch and a kick!?" Lucy gasped.

"Gajeel, do something!" Patherlily shouted.

Gajeel was helpless in this current situation, unfortunately. Selene's power was too much from him as he took a multitude of punches and kicks, unable to defend from them. Eventually, he was blown away by a diamond encased forehead, causing him to stumble back. "Ugh…" Gajeel placed his hands on the ground, pushing himself up slowly. "I ain't givin' up yet…"

"Diamond Dragon's…" Selene puffed her cheeks out.

"Gajeel, move!" Levy screamed.

"ROAR!" Selene unleashed another Diamond Dragon's Roar. Gajeel's prior damage kept him from dodging the attack as he fell to the ground, the multiple cuts on his body leaking out blood.

"G-GAJEEL!" Pantherlily's eyes widened.

"N-No way…" Happy covered his mouth. "Gajeel's been…"

"HA! I told you we were winning this thing!" Reve smirked proudly. "Nice job, Selena."

"Heh…I told you, Black Steel…" Selene smirked, panting heavily.

"Gi…heh…" Gajeel coughed slightly, slowly pushing himself up with his hands.

"W-What!?" Zain's eyes widened. "There's no way he should be able to get up in that condition…!"

"He's still moving…?" Sting's eyes widened slightly.

"Of course he is…" Rouge replied.

"Diamonds are harder than steel, huh?" Gajeel pushed himself up, iron scales covering his body once again as shadows started to leak out from around him. "Well, let me tell you something girly…" Gajeel lunged forward, pulling his fist back. "I'VE GOT A SOUL MADE OF IRON, AND THAT'S SOMETHING YOUR DIAMONDS WILL NEVER BREAK!" Gajeel swung his iron and shadow fist at Selene, catching of off guard as she flew back to the arena wall.

"Iron Shadow…!" Cynthia gasped slightly, this having been the first time she's witnessed Gajeel used Iron Shadow.

Selene stood up slowly, her eyes widen. "W-What…?"

Gajeel gave the girl no time to recover as he assaulted her with brutal hand to hand combat. Selene's Dragon Force did allow for her to react to Gajeel's onslaught, blocking most of his punches while the others slipped through, usually hitting her torso or face, causing her to grit her teeth, showing her fangs. "Iron Shadow Dragon's Club!" Gajeel shifted his body to the side, avoiding a lightning fast punch from Selene and stuck his arm out, an iron pole coated in shadows slamming into Selene's stomach, pushing her back a few yards as the pole extended.

"Diamond Dragon's Spear!" Selene clapped her hands together as Gajeel retracted his arm, a grey magic circle appearing in front of Selene. Selene held her hand out, pushing into the magic circle, causing a large diamond spear to shoot violently from the magic circle.

"Tch!" Gajeel ran forward, putting his arm up for defense as the spear made contact, doing major damage, but he didn't pay it any mind; he ran up close to Selene, concentrating the rest of his magical energy as his cheeks puffed out. "Roar…"

"Roar…" Selene puffed her cheeks out as Gajeel neared; using what was left of her magic energy for one powerful attack.

"Of the Iron Shadow Dragon!" Gajeel opened his mouth, sending a grey and black funnel of magical energy at Selene.

"Of the Diamond Dragon!" Selene opened her mouth as a grey magic circle appeared, clashing with Gajeel's close range roar. The struggle remained for a few seconds until a large explosion rocked the entire stadium, blowing away both fighters. Gajeel was in his normal form as was Selene, and both of the fighters were knocked out, unable to continue.

"I-It's a tie!?" Zalen gasped.

"No way…" Reve was clearly surprised by Gajeel's fighting spirit, and how he was able to turn that into a tie.

"Both Gajeel and Selene are unable to continue…this match is a tie…" Makarov nodded slowly, proud of Gajeel for his fighting efforts.

"Nice job, tin can…" Natsu grinned, giving Gajeel a thumbs up as both Gajeel and Selene's images X'ed out on the board.

"Time for another match," Calium said as Luke brought Selene into the infirmary, and Levy and Patherlily brought Gajeel into their infirmary. The roulette started once again, and this time...it landed on Natsu and Takeru. "Natsu Dragneel vs. Takeru."

"Hmph..." Takeru smirked over at Natsu, basically saying Takeru was going to win this time.

"I get another shot at Takeru, huh?" Natsu grinned widely, flames surrounding his body. "I'm all fired up!"
