I'm sorry in advance for the teasing of a certain fight I do today...But you guys won't have to wait that long ;). This'll probably be a longer chapter seeing as I plan to end day 4 today. And maybe a double chapter special? Who knows?

Enjoy!

Nashi regretted not backing down from Michael's challenge. As she writhed around on the airborne platform, she wanted to just roll off the side and quit. She couldn't do this. Her breakfast was fighting her more than anyone in the event was, and she was losing to it.

"Kill...Me..." She heard Michael hiss somewhere in front of her. She couldn't agree more. "Of all effects...It makes the thing...Move..."

"Can we call this off and just agree to lose?" Nashi asked weakly. "I can't do this..."

"That's...That's fair." They both started to crawl towards the edge of the platform, making sure the other kept their word about crawling off the side.

Then, it stopped.

Nashi's stomach stopped churning like an ocean in a storm, and she instantly felt a lot better. Michael also seemed to feel much better.

"Oh thank God!" he shouted, standing up with a laugh. "I'm so happy that's over!" Nashi sprung to her feet as well.

"Yep! Now we can actually try and win!" They both made eye contact again and smirked, about to start another brawl.

Until a figure flew between them and right off the side of the platform. They both jumped in surprise and ran to the edge and looked down to try and see who it was, and found Mai from Mermaid Heel flying straight down to the arena below. She landed on something, a magical net of sorts, that prevented her from getting more hurt from the impact.

"That's it for Mai!" Ross shouted. "She's been knocked off of the platform by Mami!"

"So there's a safety net, huh?" Michael asked. "That's good. I'd hate for someone to get seriously hurt by hitting the ground."

"Yeah." Nashi agreed, pushing her hair out of her face. The wind up that high was blowing it everywhere. She quickly turned, ignited her fist, and slammed it into Michael, but he was ready for her to try something like that. Their fists met, creating a shockwave of fire and light that staggered the other contestants. Nashi jumped away from him and brought her hands together, creating a flamethrower that soared towards Michael. The man jumped out of it's way and high into the air above the platform, bringing his own hands together.

"Holy Spears of the White Dragon!" He shouted, and hundreds of tiny arcs of light launched from his hands down onto the battlefield. Nashi brought her arms up to protect her face from the attack, feeling the light hit her it various other places. The other contestants were not unaffected by this attack, either. Mami was thrown near the edge, Kendra tried to dodge it but failed, and Reyna tried to block them with card magic, but a few got through to her as well. As the smoke started to clear around her, Nashi heard Michael running at her through it. She jumped just in time for him to go right under her. She landed behind him and turned.

"Fire Dragon Roar!" The column of flame shot from her mouth towards her opponent, who turned quickly.

"White Dragon Roar!" He shouted. A laser came from his mouth, cutting right through the center of Nashi's attack, and hit her square in the chest. She flew backwards and stood just in time to through up a wall of fire to prevent Michael's' advance. No one else was attacking them, just each other.

"Here comes the next random effect, everyone!" Ross announced. "Let's see what we got!" Nashi looked around for what was about to happen, and it soon did. Cracks appeared in the ground, and soon the platform began to split apart in large chunks. Reyna was on her own, Mami and Kendra on another, and Nashi and Michael on another.

"It's like they're trying to make us fight." Michael remarked as the chunks continued to float like normal. Nashi nodded.

"I can see they're reasoning though." Michael smirked at her, and started to radiate light.

"Yeah, they just want to see me beat you senseless."

"That a fact?" They got close to each other, both radiating their element.

Nashi struck first. She threw a punch, and Michael threw one as well, they started to trade blows in this close proximity, each punch from both party starting to get harder and harder to shake off.

"Ugh, enough of this." Michael said. He dodged Nashi fist and ducked underneath her. "White Dragon's Claw!" Michael's attack dragged across Nashi's front, but it didn't really hurt that much. She snorted.

"What the hell was that, man?" She demanded. Michael smirked.

"Nothing." he replied. "Come on, hit me back." Nashi would happily oblige.

She couldn't. Her arms nor her legs would respond to her commands. She was frozen in place.

"What the hell?!" She hissed. "I can't move!" Michael smirked and gestured down, where light glowed from Nashi's front where he'd struck her.

There was a stigma resting on her stomach.

"The claw of the White Dragon marks the opponent with a stigma." Michael told her, getting closer. "Stripping your body of it's freedom."

"You bastard...!" Michael laughed and placed a hand on Nashi's shoulder.

"Sorry Nashi, but you need to not win this by a wider margin than second." He said.

Then he pushed her.

Nashi yelped as she teetered on the edge of the platform before finally losing her balance. She couldn't regain it, because she couldn't move. After way to long of teetering right on the edge of the platform, Nashi began her descent downwards, still unable to move.

"Michael!" She roared angrily while she fell, but there was nothing she could do to stop it. She felt her back connect with the magical safety net below her, and that was it.

He'd beaten her that easily.

"W-Well then!" Ross said. "Michael...easily dispatches Nashi! What a display of his power!"

"Power my ass..." Nashi hissed, still unable to move as she glared up at the blonde man who'd knocked her off "He just made me unable to move.." The stigma on her stomach faded, and the ability to move her limbs returned.

"Sorry Nashi!" Michael called from above as the pieces of the platform reformed into one. "I just needed to get you out of the picture! Surely you understand, right?" He started laughing, until the next effect started.

The platform started to spin rapidly in a circle. Before it had just been moving erratically, but now it was spinning unforgiving. Michael looked sick.

"Maybe I should've given up after all... He said in a low voice, doubling over weakly.

And Kendra flew right over his head.

Nashi watched as the Lamia Scale contestant was thrown from the platform as well, hitting the safety net.

"Damn it!" Michael heard someone shout. "I tried to take out two for one but it didn't work!" he turned weakly to find Reyna watching him.

"Please.." Michael whined, trying to prevent the dry heaving. "Please give me a moment...At least until the spinning stops..."

"Groh!" Reyna flinched as Mami reappeared behind her. "Think you can just ignore me for him?!" The buff and fast Mami slammed into Reyna, who took the hit and slid towards the edge near Michael. Who the girls kept functioning during the spinning was beyond him. Reyna brandished cards in her hand as Mami sprinted towards her, and threw them at the ground.

"Card Magic: Ice Floor!" It was a similar tactic that Ultear had used on the first day against the girl. Mami lost her footing and slipped. The girl slid rapidly towards the edge, and right off of it.

Although not before grabbing Reyna by the ankle.

"Let go of me!" Reyna shouted, the only thing keeping Mami in the fight.

"Why don't you make me?!" Mami retaliated. Michael just watched feebly from the ground. However, he came up with an idea. He reached over near the girls feet, and rested his open palm there.

A white light burst into the ground, cutting off the part of the platform Reyna and Mami were still on, which sent them both down into the safety net. From what he could guess, Mami was in third and Reyna in second.

Wha...What a turn of events! It would seem the motion sick Michael Eucliffe has won the event by...Doing almost nothing!"

"GET ME OFF THIS THING!" Michael wailed as the platform continued to spin.

"Alright! After our committee reviewed the footage, we have the results! in sixth we have Mai from Mermaid Heel, in fifth we have Nashi Dragneel from Fairy Tail, fourth in Kendra from Lamia Scale, third is Mami Kotobuki from Blue Pegasus, second goes to Reyna Groh from Quatro Cerberus, and finally, first place goes to Michael Eucliffe!"

"Bastard." Nashi growled.

"His strategy was pretty good, admittedly." Simon replied. "Make you immobile so that you couldn't fight back."

"Still!" Nashi shouted. "He made it sound like a big deal last night, and then he just knocks me off with no effort whatsoever..."

"Granted, that event did not last very long at all." Drake tried, putting a hand on her shoulder. "It's not your fault."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever..." Nashi would not be convinced, she was angry at Michael, and for a very good reason in her eyes.

"Well, nothing to do now but get the fights for today underway! First up we have Simon Scarlet against Tsuneo!" Simon tensed up at this, and the other regarded him carefully.

"You okay to go out there?" Ultear asked from next to him.

"I should be." He replied, looking down at his hand. "Wendy gave me the okay last night, so..."

"Don't worry about it." Drake told him. "The guy isn't that powerful, certainly not in contrast to you." Simon nodded and walked towards the edge of the stand, and jumped down into the arena.

Simon wasn't one to doubt Wendy's healing abilities, but he really did not feel one hundred percent yet. As he stood opposite of Tsuneo, the man did not seem very confident in his ability either.

"Good luck." Simon said, and Tsuneo nodded.

"Yeah, same to you." he replied.

"Alright men! You have half an hour on the clock! Get to it!" The bell rang to signify the start of the fight, and Simon tensed up, before shooting forward with Meteor. He requipped into his sword and swung it at Tsuneo, before a trunk of a plant got in his way. He veered out of the path of the sprouting plants, and landed a short distance away. The plants extended towards him, and he slashed them to pieces with his sword, feeling his right arm throb a bit at the motion. He was right, he wasn't at one hundred percent. More plants sprouted up around him, so he took to the skies to get away from them. Slashing more plants apart, Simon looked down at Tsuneo, who was standing still and watching him as the plants grew out of the ground after him.

The plants are his whole strategy from what I can tell...So what will happen if I take that strategy away from him? How exactly, though?

Simon's kept the plants a fair distance away from him with Heavenly blasts, but he kept thinking of ways to stop the one controlling them. Before he got an idea to end the fight quickly. He soared past the plants in his way and went right for Tsuneo, who couldn't stop him in time. Simon grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and hoisted him into the air. They went up higher than the statues making up the edges of the Domus Flau and Simon wasted no time in blasting his opponent back downwards towards the arena. The battle seemed over.

Or so he thought.

Plants made their way to Tsuneo and broke his fall in time to keep in conscious, and the man looked back at Simon and laughed.

"Was that all you can muster after yesterday?" He asked. Simon didn't need the reminder. Wendy or not, his body still felt sluggish after his display the day before. The plants below Tsuneo grew quickly, making the other man fly up to around Simon's height. The tendrils of greenery again attempted to grab Simon, but he hacked them away and then soared underneath Tsuneo, cutting the plants that were holding him up. His opponent started to fall, and Simon grabbed him as he did and flew right at the ground, feeling the wind whip at him as he did.

I can't pull up in time to save myself from getting hurt...Might as well brace for impact...

"Are you an idiot, Simon?!" he barely heard Tsuneo shout, voice lost in the wind around them. "We're both going to hit the ground!"

"That's the idea!" Simon roared back, the ground rushing to meet them.

Simon let go of Tsuneo and tried to pull up. He turned his back to the ground to try and lessen the pain. He heard Tsuneo hit the ground, and Simon could not keep himself airborne. He hit the earth hard and rolled right into the wall, creating a small crater of damage from it. He gritted his teeth to prevent screaming from the pain, and hit the ground coughing. Looking up, Tsuneo was not standing from the crater he had created.

"I..I think this is over!" Ross announced. "Simon has defeated Tsuneo! Although from the looks of it, not unscathed..." The announcer was right. Simon felt an incredible amount of pain as he stood up and hobbled towards his fallen opponent.

"You okay?" He asked weakly. Tsuneo didn't respond at first, but eventually nodded.

"You crazy bastard..." Tsuneo moaned. "You could have killed us both."

"Yeah well, I've come closer to death than that."

"With our first fight out of the way, let's bring our second fighters out! Next up we have Winter Vastia against Akio Tearm!" Winter looked up in surprise. Her against Akio? That didn't really seem fair to her. Akio was by no means a weak fighter, but it was pretty apparent she had the upper hand here.

"Good luck." Terra told her.

"She won't need luck." Jackson said. "She has this in the bag."

"Of course she does!" Grace shouted, startling the rest of the team. "She's a God Slayer!"

"Don't shout at us!" Jackson threatened. Winter sighed as her friends began to argue, and she jumped down into the arena to meet the center with Akio.

"Hey." He said, his hands in his pockets." Winter nodded at him.

"Hey."

Half an hour on the clock! You two may begin!"

Akio formed his hands together, a whitish blue glow coming from them. Snow flew towards Winter, who waved her hand. A gust of air blew it away from her. Akio tried again, but she blew it away again.

"Come on Akio." Winter said. "Try a little bit harder, could you?" Akio rolled his eyes and gave Winter what she asked for. When she tried to blow away that blizzard, it barely moved. She was hit by it dead on, the snow tearing at her relentlessly. She pushed her way through it and brought her hands together, dark wind gathering their. The cyclone flew towards Akio, who moved to dodge it as fast as he could. Winter was on him quickly, forming another cyclone, this time around Akio himself.

"Wait, are you trying too...!"

"Yep." Winter agreed. "Doing what happened to Ken during his fight. A vacuum knocking you out cold."

"Of course, you wind wizards and your vacuum cyclones..." This, however, did not work. The cyclone started to slow, and eventually started to give off a frosty look. Eventually Akio stepped right through it, the cyclone dissipating into nothingness.

"Impressive."

"Don't patronize me, Winter"

As the two continued to trade blows, Nashi was till fuming. She was absolutely livid at Michael for knocking her out so cheaply. None of the others understood. He'd acted like he wanted her to compete so that they could have a good fight, and instead he goes right for the easy knockout.

"These two are really going at each other." She heard Ultear comment on the fight currently happening.

"They sure are." Damien agreed. The two fighters separated.

Blizzard!" Akio shouted, a blizzard rushing towards Winter without remorse.

"Sky God's Boreas!" She shouted, the dark column of wind shooting towards Akio's attack and meeting it halfway. The attacks exploded, engulfing the two combatants in a smokescreen and probably hurting them both considerably.

As the smoke started to fade, only one person was still standing after the explosion.

The wounds closed on Winters body as she healed herself, regarding Akio's motionless form.

"Well...There you go! Winter Vastia is the winner!"

"She can heal herself, I forgot." Simon said. "Akio was at a huge disadvantage."

"Yep, he sure was." Elise said.

"And finally, to wrap up the fights for the fourth day, he have Juno Orlando against Kumi from Mermaid Heel!" As the final two contestants took to the battlefield, Nashi finally stopped wallowing in her anger and decided to pay attention to what was happening. "You lovely ladies have half an hour on the clock! You may begin!" Kumi's hands grew claws and she launched herself at Juno, who remained still.

And then, something happened.

At first, Juno had been standing and Kumi had been launching herself at her.

The next moment Kumi was flying right past Juno, who had reappeared behind where Kumi had been a moment before.

Nashi had to double take, in case she'd missed something.

"Uh..." Elise started.

"We all saw it." Simon reassured. "It's her magic, I can guess." Juno turned to look at her opponent, and in her open palm an orb of multiple colors appeared. Kumi was engulfed in a bigger orb of the same colors, and then disappeared.

There was silence on the battlefield. Juno remained stationary.

And then, something came crashing to earth next to her.

After the dust cleared, Kumi was in the center of the crater, struggling to get up. Once she did, she went after Juno once more, who again, swapped places with the girl. This went on for a bit before Juno once again engulfed Kumi in a sphere of colors.

Small explosions sounded against Kumi's body in the sphere, but her cries of pain went unheard by everyone. The girl dropped to the ground, unmoving.

"Uh..." Ross started. "Is...Is that it?" Kumi didn't get up, and Juno just seemed to be waiting. "O-Okay! That's it! Juno has defeated Kumi!"

"That was Territory?" Nashi asked. "That's quite formidable..."

"Sure is..." Simon agreed. He seemed tense.

"And with that everyone, marks the end of the singles competition! Tomorrow we will have a tag event and three tag battles, so look forward to that!

Fairy Tail: 77 pts

Sabertooth: 74 pts

Lamia Scale: 46 pts

Mermaid Heel: 38 pts

Blue Pegasus: 32 pts

Quatro Cerberus: 18 pts

After looking at the scores, Nashi noticed that Sabertooth was indeed trying to catch them. Looking over at the guild in question, Michael met her gaze. He winked, she glowered, which made him laugh.

We'll beat them in the tag competition...Wait a minute...

I'm sorry for rushing through this day. Nothing particularly exciting was planned, so I saw no reason to drag it out. I mean, look at what this day had.

Nashi getting knocked out immediately.

Simon thrashing Tsuneo.

Winter beating Akio.

Juno thrashing Kumi.

None of that bears any sort of significance, at least not in contrast to the next day, if you guys catch my drift ;) I hope you enjoyed, leave a review! Let's try and get five!
