Hello everyone. I know I am extremely late with this one, but life just happened. I literally kept getting delayed again and again from finishing this chapter. Which frustrated me even more. Thankfully this semester will be done in about two weeks. So that means that updates SHOULD come out more frequently. At least I hope so. To the story, we are winding down to the big event and reveal. Trust me when I say its gonna be epic! Next update will be focused on another of RDK and Neo Uzu.
I will confess that I forgot that Mato was the name of the pumpkin announcer. I don't know why I forgot this detail, but I will use it from now on. It'll make my life easier. Also, I will mention that many of the descriptions I used for characters come from their wiki pages. This makes it easier for me to describe and most of us know what they already look like.
I have been waiting to do Day 3 for such a long time. I have had this in my head for months! I even wrote the Wendy fight in a very early draft, but I have now done my best to perfect that draft. A long overdue reveal is shown today. A few major surprises with Laxus.
The next chapter will be all character driven dialogue revolving around one person with two different groups of people. I wanted that chapter to be done with this one, but I was having trouble writing the dialogue and the flow of it. So that may take a bit longer. Thankfully, I am almost done, but until I find it satisfying I will not post it.
Unto sad news, the tragic passing of Stan Lee. I would like to thank you, Stan, for the wonderful characters he helped create that would shape my childhood and even my morals. You truly are an inspiration and the world will miss you. But your legacy will live on for many years to come. RIP champ, you deserve it, and Excelsior!
Now on with the Chapter!
Day 3 of the GMG: 100 Monster Beatdown! Lightning Soars! Clash of the Skies!
It was now the third day of the Grand Magic Games. This time the judges were Chapati, Yajima, and guest judge Lahar, Captain of the Rune Knights. Due to this, Jellal/Mystogan decided it was better he kept his distance from the stadium so he could stay out of trouble. So Cana took his place for today's game. Wendy was also participating for her team and possibly until the end of the games. Katja, Momon, Eclair, and Yukino were currently with the rest of the Fairy Tail guild members. The girls and bird were afraid the guild would not be welcome them easily but were pleasantly surprised to see everyone welcoming them with open arms. Katja and Momon felt right at home, Yukino was reserved but was enjoying her time with her new friends, and Eclair was sadly still guarded towards the guild members. Mermaid Heel consisted of Kagura, Seilah, Dimaria, Brandish, and Millianna. Anna was also watching the games with her guild but made sure she under an illusion that made sure only her guild will see her. Sabertooth consisted of all the member except Dobengal and Yukino were replaced by Minerva and Rufus.
Another surprising guest was Magic Council member, Doranbolt who is watching the game from the stands. Although one look at his face will tell you that he was not enthusiastic about being there. Lahar had basically strong-armed him to watch the games since Fairy Tail was participating, and Lahar knew that he wanted to see them. Although Doranbolt was still not sure how to react to all this. The last surprising guest was a certain black dragon watching the games from the stands.
'Hopefully, nothing bad happens, but knowing Fairy Tail, that's likely to happen.' Naruto thought.
"TODAY'S COMPETITION OF THE GMG IS PANDEMONIUM! THERE WILL BE ONE PARTICIPANT FROM EACH GUILD!"
The members chosen for each guild were:
Erza for FTA
Cana for FTB
Orga for Sabertooth
Dimaria for Mermaid Heel
Bulat for Quatro Cerberus
Obra for Raven Tail
Jura for Lamia Scale
Hibiki for Blue Pegasus
Mato (The Pumpkin-Head Announcer) explained the rules as a giant castle appeared in the middle of the arena.
"Forgive me for my absence, but yesterday was my day off."
The rules for today's games were simple. The castle was filled with 100 monsters. All of the monsters are categorized by a simple rank, from D to S rank. The rules were that each person can decide how many monsters they want to fight. Whether they chose 1, 5, 10, or even more than 50. The trick was that the monsters that a person will get is random, which meant they could get all D-rank monsters or get all A-rank or even the S-rank monster. This added a new danger that all the participants would have to take into consideration when they choose how many monsters they wanted to fight. The last rule was that the participant keeps fighting until they beat all the monsters they chose or they fall and get the points they earned from the monsters they managed to defeat. Mato then asked all the participants to take a lot number to decide who would go first. Erza got number 1. Erza smiled at this.
"Luck of the draw, huh?" Erza mumbled out loud.
"Luck? More about keeping pace and making a sound judgment call. The order of battle is rather irrelevant for this game." Mato said.
"This is no longer a game." Erza said as she began to walk forward.
"Huh?" Mato asked.
"My challenge right will be all 100." Erza said.
Needless to say everyone dropped their jaws in shock at what Erza just said. Well everyone except for Natsu, Gray, and Wendy that began laughing. Gildarts and Laxus shook their heads in amusement as Mira giggled. Irene just facepalmed in exasperation at her daughter's antics with everyone in her guild giggling.
"WAIT! That's suicide! The challenge was never made so someone could handle all 100 on their own!"
Everyone was thinking that Erza had lost her mind. Oh, how wrong they would be proven.
"I don't care."
(I will not cover this since nothing has been changed. If you would like to see Erza beat all those monsters, then I recommend looking up the anime version on youtube.)
The entire audience had their collective jaws dropped in absolute astonishment.
"EHHHHHHHHHHH?!" They all shouted in shock.
"ERZA SCARLET HAS DEFEATED ALL 100 Monsters! IS THIS THE RETURN OF FAIRY TAIL?!" Chapati shouted enthusiastically.
"I give up. Nothing will surprise me anymore." Yajima said in amused exasperation.
"They never do anything normal, do they?" Lahar questioned as Yajima simply shook his head. "Nope."
"No way to top that." Cana commented.
"I don't think any of us could even if we wanted. Can I get a slip?" Dimaria asked.
"Sure!" Cana cheerfully said before handing her flask to Dimaria.
"She takes reckless to a whole new level." Bulat said.
"Magnificent as always." Jura commented.
"..." Obra said nothing.
"I don't like this." Orga said in annoyance.
"Well, this has gotten far more interesting." Minerva said to herself.
"Yay Erza-chan!" Millianna cheered loudly.
"We should expect nothing less of Irene-sama's child." Kagura commented as she looked at Erza's projection on the screen.
"That'll just make the games more exciting." Seilah said.
Irene was both exasperated and proud at her daughter's strength.
"Like mother, like daughter." Anna teased. Irene gave her look, before sighing and looking at her Erza with a proud look in her eyes with a huge smile on her face.
"Yes, she is. She is a wonderful girl and mage. I couldn't be more proud to have her as my daughter." Irene said.
"You're just as stubborn and determined as Irene was when she was your age, Erza." Naruto said in a nostalgic tone. "You are an amazing mage, my benihime (crimson/red princess). I hope we can connect as I reconnected with Wendy. I would like us all to be a family again. I just pray you can accept who I am when we finally meet and when you find out everything about me." Naruto spoke softly to himself.
Erza limped back to the arena as the Pandemonium castle disappeared.
"ERZA!" Erza had little time to react before she was enveloped in a bone-crushing hug by her team.
"OUCH! Guys, I appreciate the hugs, but I am still sore from the event." she winced. The team laughed at her reckless actions but helped her up to the infirmary to bandage her up.
"WELL NOW THAT PANDEMONIUM IS UNAVAILABLE, THE OTHER SEVEN CONTESTANTS NEED TO BE RANKED. SO WE HAVE COME UP WITH A SIMPLE GAME FOR THE REMAINING CONTESTANTS!" Chapati announced to the audience.
"This is the Magic Power Finder or MPF. When this item is struck with magical power, its represented numerically. These numbers will be used for their ranking. Now then let's continue from the order that was determined previously-kaboo!" Mato explained.
"Then that would be me!" Dimaria said. Before summing a giant battle ax. Her ax soon began to glow in a golden aura before she dashed and delivered a wide slash to the sphere.
5385!
"OHHHH! ALREADY DIMARIA OF MERMAID HELL SETS A HIGH BAR TO PASS!"
"Indeed I expect nothing less of wizard saint mage." Lahar commented.
"Damn, I didn't know she was wizard saint like Jura." Natsu said.
"That just shows Mermaid Hell is not pulling punches anymore." Erza told her team as she just came back from being bandaged.
'You guild is amazing kaa-san.'
Laxus looked interested in Dimaria's abilities. Mirajane gained a glint in her eyes.
'My shipping senses are tingling.' she thought in amusement. Suddenly several mages felt a chill go down their spines.
"NEXT IS BULAT OF QUATRO CERBERUS!"
"Time to roar! INCURSIO!" Bulat shouted as he was soon clad in silver armor that looked very similar to Wave's Grand Chariot."
"Damn that guy could easily be above Laxus!" Natsu shouted just from the magical power he felt.
"No kidding." Gray said in equal amazement.
"Dragon Slash!" he roared as he slashed the orb.
4250!
"OHHHH! ANOTHER HIGH SCORE! THE BARS ARE BEING SET HIGH FOR THE OTHER CONTESTANTS."
"Not bad, Bulat-san." Dimaria complemented. She always respected those with strength. Bulat gained a sheepish expression before bowing in appreciation.
"Thank you, Dimari-san."
Hibiki was next, but due to him being non-combat-type mage his score was a low 365. Although it was still high for Lahar to compliment him. As that score would put him as a squad captain of the rune knights. Obra of Raven Tail got a pathetic 4, which made the Fairy Tail and Mermaid Heel mages suspicious of what that guild was planning. What was even more suspicious was that imp was still alive even after what Naruto impaled it.
"NEXT WE HAVE ORGA OF SABERTOOTH! JUST LISTEN TO THAT CROWD CHEER FOR HIM!"
Orga stepped up to the machine as he began to charge black lightning in his arms.
"120 mm Black Lightning Cannon!" the blast of black electricity hit its mark.
3975!
"Keh!" Orga grunted.
"ANOTHER HIGH SCORE! THIS PUTS SABERTOOTH IN FOURTH PLACE!"
"Oh well. It's not like we could anything to top what the others have done." Sting said.
"We'll make up for this in the battle portion." Rufus responded while focusing on the contestants.
"Indeed we will." Minerva said.
"NOW WE WILL SEE IF JURA OF THE TEN WIZARD SAINTS CAN BREAK THE CURRENT RANKINGS!"
"Will Jura be able to win?" Sherria asked with some concern.
"I have no doubt about that. But it's still too early to tell." Lyon said. While he'll always have faith in Jura, you can never be sure about anything.
"If I may ask, can I go all out?" Jura asked Mato politely.
"I would appreciate nothing less-kaboo!" Jura smiled in appreciation.
"Rumbling MT. Fuji!" The MPF was enveloped in a similar flash of blue light.
8544!
"HOLY SHIT!"
"THAT'S OVERKILL JURA!"
"Damn, overpowered geezer." Dimaria said in amusement and annoyance.
"As expected of another mage to bear the mark of wizard saint." Bulat said.
Gildarts just smiled at the future competition he'll have.
"Gildarts will have a hell of a time fighting him." Makarov commented. Mavis simply giggled.
"Don't forget, Rokudaime. There is someone with Gildart's blood about to participate."
"THE LAST COMPETITOR IS CANA OF FTB! LET'S CHEER FOR HER TO DO HER BEST!"
"So it's my turn now? *HICCUP*" Cana slightly slurred.
"We're doomed." Wakaba and Macao said.
"Hopefully she can get a decent score." Max said.
"Anything is better than last place." Nab retorted.
"Well then here we go~" Cana said as she began to take off her top.
"DON'T STRIP!" shouted several mages from her guild.
"Well, time for me to strike!" Cana said with a familiar mark on her forearm.
"Wait isn't that?!" several Fairy Tail mages shouted in shock.
"Shodaime?!" Makarov asked/shouted in confusion as he looked at his predecessor.
"I let her borrow it for this competition," she said before looking at Makarov with a cute expression with stars in her eyes and stars floating all around her. "In order to win!" Makarov could do nothing, but gape in shock and horror.
"Gather! OH Fairy Guiding River of Light!" Cana began to chant as she raised her arm with the second mark into the air.
"Her latent magical abilities were high, to begin with...she just needed the right push. But she'll definitely be able to use it properly this time."
"SHINE! Destroy the Fangs of Evil!"
"FAIRY GLITTER!" Cana shouted as she sent her arm back down. As soon as she did, a massive golden light enveloped the MPF in a giant explosion.
The audience was left gobsmacked at the scene, as were the other contestants.
"That was one of the three great spells of Fairy Tail." Ivan said with a lustful glint in his eyes.
'They never can do anything normal, can they.' Naruto thought in amusement and exasperation.
9999!
"JUST WHAT THE HELL?! THE MPF WAS BROKEN AFTER REACHING ITS MAXIMUM OUTPUT! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS GUILD?! IS THIS THE REVIVAL OF FAIRY TAIL?!"
"Nothing can stop us! We're Fairy Tail after all!" Cana shouted as she posed for the crowd.
"Food for thought-kaboo." Mato said.
Up in the stands, Narpunding came up to his team leader. "Alexei-sama. Here are the matchups for the battle portion." said as he gave Alexei a slip of paper. "Good. Now we can begin our initiative to reach our objective." Alexei said as everyone had an evil grin on her face.
The first match is between Eve from Blue Pegasus and Rufus from Sabertooth. This match was a landslide as Rufus easily decimated Eve. The second match was between Seilah and Lubbock. It was an interesting fight for both of them, but Seilah was the winner in the end.
Now the next match was Laxus Dreyar vs. Alexei. This had everyone's attention.
'Warren is everyone connected through your telepathy magic?' Makarov asked.
'Yes, master!' Warren saluted mentally.
'Is everyone in position?' Makariv asked.
'Bisca here. I am in position.'
'Good. The moment you see anything unusual, you take a shot.' Makarov said.
'Thunder Legion? Lisanna?'
'We're all position master. If anyone tries foul play, we'll notice.' Lisanna said.
'As if I will let those bastards interfere with Laxus's match.' Freed said passionately.
Everyone chuckled at that.
'Hey ,master Ever asked if she could check on Elfman since she's worried about him. You know as his overprotective girlfriend.' Bickslow said.
'I DID NOT SAY THAT! I AM NOT OVERPROTECTIVE! AND I AM NOT HIS GIRLFRIEND!' screamed a blushing Evergreen.
This caused everyone to laugh a bit, even the super serious Freed had to crack a smile.
'FTA and FTB I will rely on you two teams to warn us if you see anything we don't. Understood?' Makarov ordered.
'Hai, Master.' The two teams shouted.
'Wendy I have a question.'
'Go ahead, master!'
'Will your father do anything?'
'Hmmm. I am pretty sure he is watching the games. Though whether or not, he'll intervene, depends on what happens.'
Makarov nodded. "Ivan, I will not allow you to harm my guild anymore."
Mavis giggled in amusement.
"Something wrong, Shodaime?" he asked.
"Nope. Nothing at all." Mavis before she began to look up into the sky.
"I am simply enjoying this situation just a bit."
Makarov jerked up in confusion.
"It's splendid. The ultimate form of the guild I've hoped for is right before my eyes. Don't ever forget this feeling, Rokudaime."
"Thank you for those kind words, Shodaime!"
"Calm yourself, Rokudaime!" Several members shouted verbally and mentally.
"NOW THEN EVERYONE LET THE MATCH BEGIN!"
"So you were recruited by pops, but who are you?" Laxus asked in a curious, but suspicious tone.
Suddenly, Alexei blitzed right in front of Laxus and delivered a harsh haymaker that sent Laxus back, which shocked all of Fairy Tail. Laxus was crouched on the floor as blood dripped from the side of his lip.
"This guy." But before Laxus could retaliate, he was hit and sent flying again.
"No way." Gray muttered.
"Laxus is losing?!" Natsu shouted in shock.
"Who is this guy?" Lucy asked in fear.
"Something is wrong." Wendy and Erza muttered in suspicion.
"LAXUS CONTINUES TO GET PUMMELED BY ALEXEI! HE CAN'T EVEN LIFT A FINGER!"
However, what they did not know is what they were seeing was an illusion. The real Laxus was still standing with arms crossed.
"What's the meaning of this?" Laxus asked.
"A type of illusionary magic." Alexei said.
"Everyone in the stadium and the ones watching from home can't see our real bodies; the ones talking at the moment. They can't even hear us. They are watching two illusions fighting right now." Alexei then spreads his arms in a wide arc.
"An impressive magic, wouldn't you say?" Laxus scoffed.
"I'm pretty sure you didn't do this to show off. Now, what is this about?" Alexei chuckled.
"Impulsive as always." Alexei then began to reach for his mask.
"You were always like that when you were a brat."
He took off his mask revealing Ivan. "Stupid son." He said as the rest of team Raven Tail appeared at his side.
Laxus's eyes narrowed. "Shitty pops."
"Now is that any way to talk to me?"
"Not like you were ever the ideal father." Ivan snorted.
"Now that we won't have any interruptions, we can have a proper discussion."
Laxus snorted beforing dropping his cloak.
"There's nothing to discuss, because right here and now, I will dispose of all of you."
The team had the nerve to laugh.
"You really think you can defeat all of us?" Ivan mocked.
"Considering our youngest member beat one of your members, and caused the other to run away, I think I can do the same." Laxus mocked right back. Ivan then scowled in annoyance with Obra and Narpunding glaring at the lightning mage for that reminder.
"Yes, that was an unexpected hiccup on my part. I must say I never thought Makarov would have such a mage in his guild. It's shame she's not part of my guild. I would love to see her insides to see what makes her tick."
Laxus's eyes narrowed in anger as lightning danced around his body. "Enough talk. Just hearing you yap is pissing me off."
"Now, Now. Don't be so uptight Laxus-chan. We still have much to talk about. I need you to answer a question that I know Makarov will never answer till his dying breath. Where is the Lumen Histoire?"
"What the hell are talking about?" Laxus asked in a confused tone.
"Come now, Makarov must have told you something."
"You really are hard of hearing. I told you I don't know anything. Jiji told me nothing about this 'Lumen Histoire'. Even if he did, I wouldn't tell you."
"HAHAHA! Stubborn to the end, I see? Well, it doesn't matter, nothing will save you from this hopeless situation."
Laxus just gave his father and his team a determined glare."Bring it all at once. The enemies of the master and my guild are MY enemies!"
"Its time you are taught a lesson. I will show you the power of my anti-fairy tail, Raven Tail."
Back with the rest of the audience, they continued to see Laxus to struggle against Alexei.
"LAXUS WHAT THE ARE YOU DOING?!" shouted Natsu.
'Bisca what's going on?!' Makarov shouted in concern.
'Master I am not sure. They're not doing anything!'
Wendy's eyes narrowed.
'There's something off with this.' Wendy said to herself.
'Yeah.' Dark replied.
Warren blinked. He recognized every voice in the guild. Including the new ones of Katja, Momon, Yukino, and Eclair. But this voice was completely foreign to him. What's weirder is that it was coming from Wendy. Deciding against his better judgment, he tried to enter Wendy's mind until he was hit with excruciating pain. It was like his head was on fire!
'Argh!' Warren grunted as he fell on his hands and knees.
'WARREN?!' Several mages shouted in concern.
'Warren, what's wrong?!' Makarov asked.
'Something is wrong!'
'I would advise you to not do that again, Warren.' An unfamiliar voice said.
'Who the hell is this?!' shouted several members.
'How did you get into this telepathic communication?' Makarov demanded. The voice sounded amused as he spoke again.
'Come now, getting into this was child's play for me.'
Wendy's eyes widen as she recognized the voice. 'D-D-Daddy?!'
'EHHHHHH?!' every member of the guild shouted.
'Wendy this is your dad?!' Lucy shouted.
'How is he able to do this?' Erza asked herself.
'Are you the one hurting Warren?' Makarov asked in a curt tone.
'Yes.' Naruto responded with little hesitation.
'WHAT THE HELL?!' All of them shouted.
'Why are you doing this?!' Makarov demanded.
'The reason I did this is because that brat decided to try and get inside Wendy's head.'
'WHAT?!' All of them shouted with Wendy sounding extremely angry.
'Warren is this true?! I specifically forbid you from ever using your magic like that! It's an invasion of privacy!' Makarov shouted.
'Gomen, master! It just I heard someone else that I didn't recognize and it was coming from Wendy!' Warren tried to explain before wailing again from the increased pressure to his head being added.
'I don't care if you heard a circus in her head! You don't go into my daughter's head without her permission!' Naruto growled.
Wendy, Dark, and Erza just sweat-dropped at their father's overprotective nature.
'I promise I won't do this again.' Warren cried out.
'I hope so. It would be such a shame if your mind was reduced to that of a tiny vegetable.' Naruto warned. Everyone shivered at the warning. They had forgotten how brutal Naruto can be. Finally, Warren sighed as he felt the pressure on his mind disappear.
'Now then, I am surprised that none of you have noticed the foul play. Especially you Erza with that artificial eye of yours.' Naruto said. This statement caused Erza and several others to blink in confusion.
'What do you mean?' Erza asked.
'Instead of explaining, let me just show.'
'What do you-'
'Enchantment: Sight Share!'
Suddenly all the members of the guild felt a tingling sensation in their eyes as they began to gain a blue hue similar to Naruto's eyes.
'Now look to the arena and this time, see things through my eyes.' Naruto said.
Everyone from Fairy Tail looked down and were shocked as they saw Laxus facing the entire team of Raven Tail with Ivan in Alexei's attire.
'WHAT THE FUCK?!' they all shouted.
'How can they be in two places at once?!'
Everyone looked back to the guild stand for Raven Tail and were shocked to see no one there!
'HUH?!' Naruto chuckled in amusement.
'You understand now. The team you were watching were never there, to begin with. They were using an illusion to distract you, while the real team is down in the arena.'
'Master we must do something about this!'
Makarov was about to speak until…
'Makarov Dreyar.' Naruto spoke.
'What is it, Naruto?'
'I would advise you to not interfere with this fight.'
'WHAT?!'
'What the hell do you mean not interfere?!'
'This is an insult to Laxus-sama's honor. There must be retribution!'
Everyone, continued to rant off, except for Gildarts, Makarov, Wendy, and Erza as they knew Naruto would not say this without good reason.
'What is your reason for asking this of me?' he asked.
'MASTER/MAKAROV-SAMA?!' everyone shouted.
'SILENCE! NOW LET NARUTO SPEAK!' Makarov spoke in an authoritative tone.
'Laxus is more than capable of handling these fools. None of them have the power to match the brat. Not to worry, if things get bad, I will personally intervene.' Naruto explained.
'Alright, we'll go with your plan.' Makarov finally said.
'MASTER?!' everyone shouted.
'I have faith that Laxus can prevail, and should something befall him, we shall intervene. Am I clear?'
'Yes, master.' as the other members finally relented.
Back in the arena, Laxus stared at the team. He was confused by what Ivan said.
"An Anti-Fairy Tail guild?" A skeptical Laxus asked.
Ivan smiled "That's right. I have gathered members and learned magic and techniques that exploit all of fairy Tail's weaknesses. Are you sure you want to go to war with us? I especially know all about YOUR weaknesses. After all, I was the one that gave you that lacrima. I feel it only appropriate that I will be the one to take it back."
Laxus scoffed. "I already know all this crap. So does gramps." This caused all of the eyes of Raven Tail to widen.
"WHAT?!" they all shouted.
"How could he know?!" Laxus smiled.
"Your so-called spy knows how to act and got you to play along."
"Gajeel betrayed us!" Flare screeched.
"He was never with you, to begin with. It's your own fault for falling for it."
"Wait. If Makarov knew this entire time, why did he do nothing?" Narpunding asked.
"Because the stubborn old man has a real bad habit of holding back when he shouldn't. *SIGH* I guess he still believed in you since you're father and son. But I don't. I never truseted you the second you came back without my mother. And after the little stunt with Wendy and Lucy..."
Laxus looked even more pissed. "My patience with you is at its end!"
Ivan was enraged as he sent hundreds of his paper dolls to surround Laxus.
"SILENCE! YOU INSUFFERABLE BRAT! HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO ME IN SUCH A FASHION! THE ONLY REASON YOU'RE HERE TODAY IS BECAUSE OF ME! AS FOR YOUR MOTHER, THAT WOMAN OUTLIVED HER USEFULNESS THE MOMENT SHE GAVE BIRTH TO SUCH A WEAK CHILD! I GOT RID OF HER LIKE THE TRASH SHE WAS! NOW I WILL DO THE SAME TO YOU AND MAKE MAKAROV WATCH LIKE HE DID THE LAST TIME!"
Suddenly several of the paper dolls came together to form several monsters of paper, and appeared around the Raven Tail team. Soon several of these monsters began to surround Laxus as well. The lightning mage just gained a feral look in his eyes. He growled loudly as lightning danced even more fiercely around his body.
"Well if you feel so confident…" Laxus smirked, "I guess I will need to even out the playing field a bit." This confused the Raven Tail team and the Fairy Tail members as Laxus raised his right arm revealing a very intricate tattoo.
"What is Laxus is doing?" Natsu asked.
"I don't know, but it better be something to even out the playing field." Gray said.
'Those markings look like a variation of a summoning tattoo.' Wendy mused.
'I think you're right.' Dark replied.
'I wonder what Laxus got to partner up with him.'
'We're about to find out.'
"You know I was kinda put off that every dragonslayer in the guild had an exceed partner. I was never interested in getting an exceed, but then I heard about that Cobra fellow having a winged-serpent as a partner. It got me thinking maybe I should find a partner that compliments me." The tattoo began to glow brightly as a seal appeared below Laxus.
"Then I made a new friend during my trip to the mountains during the three months before the GMG. We got off on the wrong foot, but we came to an understanding." By now blue and yellow lightning was dancing around Laxus and being released around the seal. Ivan simply scoffed.
"As if any pet you gained could help you." Ivan mocked. Laxus simply smirked in response.
"I wouldn't be so sure." Laxus retorted. "Familiar Summoning Magic!" A bright light enveloped Laxus's form from the seal. The light was so bright it blinded Ivan and Fairy Tail watching. Naruto continued to look at the match with interest.
'What could he be summoning?' Naruto thought with genuine interest.
When the light died down, everyone blinked as they regained their sight and what they saw was jaw-dropping. Behind Laxus was a behemoth of a creature. It was around 10 to 15 meters long and 2 to 5 meters tall. It looked like a quadrupedal cross between a wolf and a dragon/wyvern. Its jaw contained rows of serrated teeth that could easily tear through flesh like paper. Its body was covered in teal scales with green colored claws. Its paws, forearms, upper chest, tail, spiked back, lower jaw, and two horns protruding forward from the top of its head were covered in golden yellow scales. It had pure white fur as a mane and coming out of its forearm, tail, and, stomach. Its eyes were electric blue without pupils, making them look like endless blue portals. Blue lightning came out of the eyes of the creature with the lightning dancing around its body.
The Fairy Tail and Raven Tail members were left speechless.
"WHAT THE HELL?!" shouted Natsu and Gray.
"WHAT IS THAT?!" shouted the other members of the guild. "Master do you know what that is?" someone near Makarov asked. Makarov had his jaw hanging as he stared down at the arena.
"How in the world did he manage to tame that beast?" he asked in wonder.
'Master, what is that creature?' Erza asked.
'That is a Zinogre.'
'Zinogre?' everyone asked.
'I have never heard of this creature.' said a large majority of the guild.
'I would be surprised if you did. It's a dangerous beast that's a distant relative of the wyverns. They are solitude bunch and usually tend to their own affairs. However, if you get in its territory, you better be prepared for the fight of your lives. The Zinogre has been recorded to have killed hundreds of people since it was first documented. The only ones that could handle such a creature are mages of Erza's level if not greater.' Makarov explained.
'Damn.'
'Where in the hell did Laxus managed to find one and actually make a contract?'
'We'll have to ask him after the fight.'
'I think you mean after this beat down.'
'I never thought I would meet a human that could tame the territorial and violent Zinogre. I wonder how he managed to get this one to become his familiar. You Fairy Tail mages never fail to surprise/amuse me.' Naruto thought to himself.
"HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET A ZINOGRE TO BECOME YOUR FAMILIAR?!" shouted a very shocked Ivan.
"That's for me to know and you to never find out." Laxus said with a smirk before he raised his right hand. "Zeke, go have some fun." The moment Laxus snapped his fingers, Zeke leaped and was on the other side in a matter of seconds. With one quick sweep of his claws, the Zinogre took out several of the paper monsters that Ivan created.
"WHAT?! HE TOOK THEM DOWN SO EASILY?!" shouted the Raven Tail mages.
"OBRA GO AND DRAIN HIS MAGICAL ENERGY!" Ivan commanded.
Obra was about to begin before Laxus appeared in front of him in a flash and slamming a harsh fist into Obra's gut before slamming another fist into Obra's face sending the blue-skinned mage into the ground. A sizeable crater formed from the impact.
"That's what you get for thinking you can get away with attempted rape, you damn freak!" Laxus growled.
Narpunding jumped forward as his arm enlarged. "Needle Arm!"
Laxus just grabbed him with one arm. He raised his other arm as a ball of electricity formed on his hand. "This is for trying to sabotage Wendy during the first-day events! Electro-Ball!"
"Red-Haired Scorch!" Flare shouted. Laxus glared at the redheaded woman.
"This is for trying to cheat Lucy out of her victory! Rairyu no Hoko!" The roar attack blasted right through Flare's hair and landed a direct hit on the red-headed mage.
"AHHHHHHHH!" she screamed as she was sent flying. Kurohebi snuck up behind Laxus, but the blonde just looked annoyed. "You really piss me off you creep!" Laxus shouted as he blasted him away.
Ivan's jaw was on the floor. His entire team that was made to oppose fairy tail with little difficulty.
"H-How can this be. My elite squad has been beaten so quickly. No! I will not let this end so easily! My shikigami, come to me!" However, Ivan noticed none of his monsters surrounded him. He looked around to see his created arm destroyed with the Zinogre coughing up the chunky remains of the paper monsters.
"Heh." Laxus said in an amused tone.
"DAMN YOU BASTARD CHILD! I WILL NOT FALL HERE!" Ivan screamed as black and violet magical energy was released from his body. "Shikigami: Chimera Army!" Ivan shouted as he created around 50 more paper monsters. They were all around 10 meters with the tail of a king cobra, the lower body of a goat, the front body and head of a lion."ATTACK!" he shouted.
The monster all lunged at Laxus, but he was not intimidated as he simply fired a lightning roar, which destroyed several of the monsters. The rest managed to regroup themselves and were about to lunge again, but Zeke decided to have some fun again. In a flash of blue lightning, the Zinogre ripped through the remaining army. Zeke landed next to Laxus as he looked at his partner. "Nice work, partner." Zeke just growled in confirmation.
Ivan just looks at the two in disbelief before his face morphed into unrestrained anger. "NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! I REFUSE TO LOSE TO THIS INFERIOR BASTARD AND HIS PET!" he shouted as the last pieces of his sanity disappeared. Laxus and Zeke both glared at the pathetic man in front.
Suddenly Ivan's power began to rise as white lightning came out and began to cover his body. This surprised the two as they never expected Ivan to be able to use lightning, let alone one of the strongest variants of lightning magic. "YOU WILL FALL BRAT! MY MASTER BLESSED ME WITH THIS POWER! WITH THIS POWER I AM INVINCIBLE!" Laxus and Zeke became guarded.
"Let's go, deadbeat." Ivan answered by disappearing in a white flash. Laxus was soon sent flying from Ivan delivering a haymaker to the face. He quickly disappeared in another flash and appeared above Laxus to slam him with an ax-kick. However, Laxus managed to catch Ivan's leg and regain his balance. Laxus smirked at Ivan as he growled, but Ivan's eyes widen when he felt something above him. He quickly jumped back as Zeke dropped down. "New powers. Same results."
"I WILL NOT FALL TO YOU!" Ivan then began to collect white lightning in his palms before bringing them together to form a giant ball of power. "LET'S SEE YOU HANDLE ALL OF MY POWER IN ONE SHOT!" Ivan sent the attack flying at his adversaries. Ivan thought his victory was assured. So imagined his surprise when Zeke jumped right into the attack head-on. There was a flash of light that blinded the two mages. When the two regained their eyesight, they look to find Zeke and Ivan was in shock at what he was seeing. Zeke was completely unharmed. In fact, it looked like it got supercharged by his attack as instead of blue lightning, white lightning was covering its body and his eyes were pure white.
"W-W-W-WHAT?!" Laxus merely smiled. "You see that is the special thing about Zinogre. They're able to absorb and generate nearly any level of lightning. That includes white lightning. There are only three that are rare for Zinogre to possess. Two are exclusive to a certain group of slayers. While the last one comes from a rare fruit." Laxus then looked at Zeke. "Mind giving me a boost?"
Zeke then fired a charge of white lightning into Laxus. Laxus's magical energy skyrocketed as his body was enveloped in an aura of yellow and white lightning. Ivan began to step back in fear.
"Wait Laxus, you wouldn't hurt me, right?! I am your own flesh and blood!" Laxus simply glared at the fool.
"Fairy Tail is my only family. And those who threaten my family will get no mercy from me!" Laxus shouted as he and Zeke reared their heads back.
"Rairyu no Hoko!" The two fired beams of electricity at Ivan. Ivan could do nothing but scream in pain as he was sent flying back into the arena wall, and destroying the illusion on the area.
"WHAT THE HELL?!" shouted the audience and the judges.
"WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON?! ONE MINUTE LAXUS IS BEING DOMINATED IN THE FIGHT, AND NOW HE'S THE LAST MAN STANDING WITH….HANG ON! IS THAT A ZINOGRE AT HIS SIDE?!" Chapati shouted.
Mato then walked towards Alexei and was shocked to see it was actually Ivan.
"HOLY CRAP! ALEXEI IS ACTUALLY THE GUILDMASTER, IVAN DREYAR!"
"WHAT?!"
"THAT IS A CLEAR VIOLATION OF THE RULES! THE OTHER MEMBERS MUST HAVE BEEN TRYING TO OVERRUN LAXUS AND USED AN ILLUSION TO CONCEAL THEIR PLOT! THAT IS AN IMMEDIATE GROUND FOR DISQUALIFICATION!" Chapati said.
"Wait that means Laxus beat the entire team on his own?!"
"Just what is up with that Fairy Tail guild?! How many monsters do they have in that guild?!"
"THAT MEANS THE WINNER IS….LAXUS DREYAR!" Mato shouted cheerfully.
"HOORAY!" Mirajane cheered happily.
"That was awesome, Laxus!" Natsu shouted.
"As strong as always." Erza complimented.
'Not bad, Laxus.' Naruto thought.
'Oh, you definitely have my attention now, Laxus Dreyar.' Dimaria said as she licked her lips.
"Ivan you were a fool from the beginning." Makarov muttered as Mavis glared at Ivan's downed form.
Laxus began to leave after Zeke left in a flash of lightning. As he walking out of the arena, he passed Ivan, who had one final thing to say to him.
"You have won this fight Laxus, but not the war. I will be back. So will my master. You will know the wrath of my master. The wrath of Savitar. And don't forget about the Lumen Histoire. It's the darkness of Fairy Tail." Ivan said in a dark, maniacal face. Laxus just stared as Ivan was taken away. Laxus barely gave him another glance, before he walked away from the arena. Unknown to everyone the black imp that was with Obra this entire time had left his team and watching the arena with a sinister smile on its face before it disappeared in a flash of darkness.
"NOW THEN LET THE LAST MATCH BEGIN! WENDY MARVELL VS SHERRIA BLENDY!"
'Looks like dad was right.' Wendy thought, feeling anxious for her fight.
'Get ready, Wendy.' Dark said. Wendy then felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned to see Erza looking at her with a comforting smile.
"You got this, Wendy." she said. Wendy smiled in return.
"Thanks. I won't let you down." she said before walking to the arena.
"Don't underestimate her, Sherria, and be ready to go all out if need be." Lyon advised her young teammate. Sherria saluted. "Hai, Lyon-sama!"
'Finally, I get to see her again!' Sherria gleefully thought as she walked down. The two arrived at the arena as they greeted everyone before Sherria tripped, but Wendy managed to catch her. The two gain pink hues due to their close proximity.
'She's so much cuter up close.' the two thought in unison.
"Thank you. Nice to meet you" Sherria said as she raised her arm.
"No problem. Likewise." Wendy said as she shook her hand.
"Gray. I hope you're ready to see Sherria's true strength." Lyon said.
"I wouldn't underestimate Wendy either, Lyon." Gray retorted.
"NOW THEN LET THE FINAL MATCH BEGIN!" Mato shouted.
[Fairy Tail OST: Champion of Magic Extended]
The two girls rushed at one another with their fists raised. The two collided as light blue and black winds expelled from the force of the attacks. Wendy attempted a leg sweep, but Sherria managed to jump up to dodge the sweep before delivering a kick to Wendy's side. Wendy managed to block the kick but was sent skidding a few feet back. Wendy looked back as Sherria smiled at her. White winds began to envelop Wendy's arms.
"Tenryu no Yokugeki!" The whirls of winds went straight to Sherria, but the maroon-haired mage managed to jump, flip, and maneuver around the attack.
"Tch!" Wendy grumbled.
Black winds began to swirl around her arm.
"Tenjin no Boreasu (Sky God's Boreas)!" A torrent swirl of black winds fired off her arm and headed straight to Wendy, but the girl was ready for this.
"Tenryu no Kaiten!" The heavenly spin managed to repel the swirling attack of black winds.
"Black winds?!" Lucy exclaimed.
"That brat couldn't be…." Orga said.
"Another one." Natsu muttered.
"Sugoi! You managed to block it." Sherria said in amazement, before smiling. "In that case…." she started before disappearing in a blur. Wendy's eyes widen when she turned to see Sherria right behind her with black winds swirling around her.
"Tenjin no Mai (Sky God's Dance)!" Wendy had no time to dodge and crossed her arms and brace herself for the attack.
"GAH!" Wendy wailed as she was sent flying into the air.
"WENDY!" shouted her guild.
Sherria then jumped into the air to continue her assault, but Wendy regained her composure and shouted, "Tenryu no Kagizume!" as the wind swirled to her leg and struck Sherria hard across the cheek. The two slid back to the arena floor. Both girls turned back to one another as they began intake a large amount of air.
"Tenryu no…." Wendy began.
"Tenjin no…..(Sky God's...)" Sherria began.
"That brat couldn't be…" Gajeel started.
"The same as Wendy's magic!" Doranbolt said.
"Lost Magic!" Mavis said.
"The Sky's Ultimate Magic." Lyon said in a confident tone.
"Hoko!/Dogo (Bellow)!" the two sky mages shouted as they launched their signature spells. A giant torrent of winds was released from the girls' mouths as they collided. A giant explosion of wind enveloped the girls and a good portion of the arena.
"Gah!" The judges shouted.
"Damn that's some powerful winds!" Natsu commented.
"Wendy." Erza said in concern.
"She is the Sky God Slayer." Lyon said.
When the winds calmed down, both girls were still standing with only a few scratches, although Wendy seemed to have taken slightly more damage.
"I HAVE NO WORDS! THESE TWO ARE THE PERSONIFICATION OF CUTENESS!" Chapati said as his two fellow judges sweat-dropped at his behavior.
"Your character profile just took a nosedive." Yajima retorted. Naruto was fighting the urge to rip Chapati's head off, or at the very least take his voice away. Anna and Irene were having similar thoughts.
"To think there would be a god slayer in Lamia Scale. Wendy has no chance of winning." Doranbolt said.
'Damn it! Even though we used the same amount of power, I took a harder hit due to her magic.' Wendy thought in frustration.
'Dad did warn you that would happen. That's one of the advantages that god slayers have over us. Not to mention she does have seven years of experience over us.' Dark said as Wendy got back into a fighting stance.
'Regardless, I refuse to go down so easily without a fight!' Wendy declared passionately.
'Now that's the attitude I want to hear! Now get to kicking her ass and asking her out after!' Dark said in a teasing tone.
'Hush you!' Wendy said, but not without much bite.
"You don't seem surprised at my magic." Sherria said as she tilted her head to the side.
"My teacher warned me about you and your magic. So I was prepared for this." Wendy said.
"Really. Your teacher must know a lot." Sherria complimented as Wendy giggled.
"You have no idea." she said.
"I heard a lot about from Lyon as well, Wendy-chan. I'm glad to see someone with magic similar magic to mine. Although it seems I may have been a little too rough."
"Don't apologize! This is a fight. And these injuries are nothing compared to what I have endured." Wendy shouted as Sherria and several others were taken back by Wendy's declaration. Sherria then gained a huge smile on her face.
"That's the spirit! Let's enjoy this fight, okay?"
"Hai." Wendy responded. She then crossed her arms as a magic seal appeared below her. "Venier! Arms! Armor! Enchant!" Wendy felt her speed, strength, and defense increase.
"Ho. I think it's time to drop the gloves then." black winds swirled around her hands. "I will have to retaliate to your determine in full. For my guild and love!" Sherria shouted. Black winds began to swirl around Wendy, but she was prepared.
"Tenryu no Namioroshi!" The wave tornado managed to counter the black winds forming.
Wendy then shouted, "Wind Blade Barrage!" Several blades of winds fired off and headed straight to Sherria. Sherria merely smirked in amusement.
"Black Twisters!" as the name suggests, several twisters of black winds fired off from Sherria's seal in front of her. The twister managed to blow off her swords and continued towards her.
"WENDY DODGE!" shouted most of her guild.
"Tenryu no Tatsumaki!" Wendy shouted as she fired a large tornado and collided with the black ones. The two attacks canceled each other out as the winds fired off in every direction.
Wendy then began dashing toward Sherria as wind enveloped her fingers. "Air Cutters!"
"Wind Sickles!" Sherria retaliated with her own version of Wendy's attack. The two attacks collided and once more canceled each other out. Wendy then created two blades of wind and jumped before a downward slash towards Sherria. Only for her to block with her own weapon and send Wendy skitting back. When she looked she was surprised to see the weapon in Sherria's hands. It was a black and violet scythe.
"Tenjin no Sukuizu (Sky God's Sycthe)." Sherria muttered. She then looked at Wendy with a challenging smile. "Ready for Round Two, Wendy-chan?"
"I was born ready." she said before she dashed forward again, but this time Sherria also dashed forward. The two meant in the center, but Sherria was able to make the first move thanks to her wider range. However, Wendy slid under the swing before getting right in front of Sherria for an X-Slash, but Sherria managed to dodge at the last second. Wendy dashed forward but had to jump in the air to dodge another swipe from the scythe. She then tried to deliver a roundhouse kick that was dodged before Sherria tried to swipe at Wendy again. Only for Wendy to block with her blades. The two broke off the stalemate and attacked again. The two girls continued to block, dodge, or parry each attack the other performed.
For the audience, they were simply mesmerized by the performance of the two girls. They had expected a fight like this from the more experienced members of the guilds, not the youngest members.
"WHAT AN EXCITING MATCH! NEITHER ONE IS LETTING UP!" Chapati shouted.
"GO WENDY! KICK HER ASS!" Natsu and Gray cheered.
"Man, whatever her dad taught her is really paying off." Cana said.
"It's amazing how much she's changed." Mira said.
'Tou-san must have really put Wendy through the grind. But the question is what else did he teach her?' Erza questioned.
Several others in the stadium were also thinking the same.
"Wendy-chan is amazing!" Millianna said.
"She's truly skilled. As is her opponent." Kagura said.
"You truly have an amazing child, Anna-sama." Dimaria complimented as Anna giggled.
"Arigato. She truly is. But I am sure my husband is responsible for this."
"Damn it Sherria. What's taking so long to win?!" Toby shouted in frustration.
"Calm down. Her opponent is not really giving her any openings to end this quickly." Yuka explained.
"Come on Sherria! Show them the power of your love!" Shelly shouted as she cheered for her cousin.
"You better start winning Sherria or you'll be spinning!" Grandma Ooba shouted.
"Those two are quite skilled." Rufus complimented.
"Indeed, now I see why Dobengal told us to be wary of her." Minerva said.
"She may have the skill, but she'll never match up to us." Sting said. Minerva shook her head.
"I wouldn't be so sure." she said as everyone turned to her.
"What do you mean, Lady Minerva?" Rogue asked. But she stayed silent as she looked at the arena.
'If what Dobengal said is true, this will get interesting very soon.' she thought before addressing her team.
"Just keep watching. I'm sure something interesting is gonna happen very soon." she said before the team refocused on her team.
'Don't let up, my chibi-hime.' Naruto thought as he continued to watch the match unfold. Back in the arena, the two girls continued in their stalemate dance with no winner in clear sight. Blood and sweat dripped from their bodies from the minor injuries they received from one another.
'Damn this girl is tough! You really need to court her after this! Which won't happen unless you break this stalemate!' Dark shouted.
'I am trying, but she will NOT let up!' Wendy shouted back.
'Well do something, because you can't let this continue any longer!'
Wendy finally had enough and with a roar of defiance pushed Sherria back.
"Tobu!" Wendy said as she flew into the air.
"WENDY CAN FLY?!" Natsu shouted in shock.
"At this point, we shouldn't be surprised anymore." Lucy said. Wendy soon began to channel energy into her leg.
"Tenryu no Tsutenkyaku!" Sherria barely had time to move out of the way as Wendy slammed her foot to the ground.
BOOM!
A giant cloud rose from the impact zone as 10-meter wide crater from where Wendy landed.
Everyone's jaw dropped in shock, except for Naruto and Anna, who were smiling.
'That's my girl!' the two thought.
"HOLY SHIT! I KNEW WENDY WAS STRONG, BUT THIS IS INSANE!" Natsu said in shock.
"I know right. I never expected Wendy to become so powerful in such a short time." Lucy said in amazement.
"Sugoi Wendy." Erza said.
"Wendy-san is so strong." Katja said in an awed tone. She never thought Wendy would be so powerful. No wonder she easily saved her and her companions!
"Super strong." Momon chirped.
'How did she get like this?' Eclair thought with some suspicion. How did a young mage like Wendy get so strong in such a short amount of time? Did her father have something to do with this?
"I never thought Wendy-san could be so strong. She could easily be in the top mages of Sabertooth with that kind of strength," Yukino said in an amazed tone.
"That was close, Sherria." Lyon said.
"Wendy has proven to be a formidable enemy for Sherria. She'll have to show off her true power if she wants to win." Jura commented as Lyon nodded. "Agreed."
Sherria just looked at Wendy in amazement. "Sugoi, Wendy. You're super strong! If I hadn't dodged I would be in pain."
"You're strong as well, Sherria-chan."
Sherria blushed a little at the suffix used for her name.
"Wendy-chan, it looks like I need to take you serious now."
Wendy stared down her opponent as she leaned her head back and began to absorb the air around them. Suddenly Wendy and every other mage could feel a huge power begin to rise out of Sherria as she was enveloped in a black and violet aura. She looked back at Wendy with her eyes gaining a red glow.
"Sky God Aura." she muttered. Lamia Scale's member smiled as Sherria was finally taking this fight seriously. Although they wondered if Wendy could respond to this.
Wendy's eyes narrowed. 'It's just like my drive mode.'
"Her power just took a major jump." Lily said.
"Can Wendy handle this?" Carla asked in concern.
"I sure hope so." Happy said.
"Heh. I have never seen you do that before Orga." Sting said.
"Keh! Like I would waste that power on weaklings beneath me. Besides this match is over."
"Well, Wendy are you ready to continue?" Sherria asked.
Wendy smiled before she began inhaling a large amount of air as her magical power began to rise up. Her arms gained white scales as her hands became sharp like claws, her eyes became slits with a red hue, her hair gained pink highlights, and whisker marks appeared on her cheeks.
"Sukai Doraibu!" Wendy shouted. This caused several pairs of eyes to widen in shock.
"She has drive mode, too?! I thought only Sting-san and Rogue-san could do this." Yukino shouted in astonishment.
"Yukino, can you explain this transformation." Makarov asked his guild companion.
"Yes, Makarov-sama. Drive Mode is a transformation that I have seen Sting-san and Rogue-san use in the past. It easily boosts their power up to ten times."
"Ten Times?!" everyone shouted.
"I always assumed that only a third gen dragonslayer could achieve as I've never heard about any of the other slayers achieving this form. How did Wendy-san achieve it in just three months?"
The members did not need to know the answer as they all knew it.
"How can she have drive mode?!" Sting shouted in shock.
"There's no way anyone of the older generation should have knowledge of this." an equally stunned Rogue said.
"It would seem that Dobengal's warning is coming into fruition." Rufus said.
Sherria looked on in surprise before smirking. "Ready to go, Wendy?"
"Hai!"
The two dashed towards one as their fist collided once more as several strong winds were released from the collision.
"WHAT EXPLOSIVE POWER! AND FROM THE TWO YOUNGEST MEMBERS OF THEIR RESPECTED GUILDS!"
The two girls began to trade fists once more and continued to match one another blow for blow.
"Tenryu no TenkuHaya!" Wendy shouted as she landed a roundhouse kick to Sherria side. Sherria slid a few feet away before lunging back and landing a hard haymaker across Wendy's cheek. Wendy was sent back a feet few before regaining her balance. Then Sherria gave her a smirk before she began rotating her arm at a rapid pace. Soon wind began to be collected around her before a miniature tornado was swirling around her arm. Wendy was guarded as she could tell that attack screamed trouble. Sherria disappeared before appearing right above Wendy.
"Tenjin no Senpuken (Sky God's Tornado Fist)!" Wendy had little time to react as she managed to move at the last second. The moment Sherria's fist landed on the ground a giant explosion of whirlwinds erupted from the collision. The force was so strong that Wendy lost a balance for a few minutes. The rest of the audience was shocked at that display of power.
"DAMN THAT'S SOME STRONG WIND MAGIC!" Natsu shouted.
"STAY STRONG WENDY!" shouted several guild members.
"WENDY!" Carla shouted in concern.
Wendy looked on in shock at the damage caused by Sherria's attack.
'Okay new plan. Avoid that at all costs!'
'Agreed.' Dark said.
"Sugoi Wendy, you managed to dodge this, But you won't dodge the next one." Sherria then began to charge another one.
"Here we go." Wendy muttered before dashing toward Sherria. However, it was too late as Sherria had already charged her fist.
"This is the end Wendy!" Sherria shouted as she slammed her fist into Wendy's gut. But suddenly, Wendy disappeared in a plume of wind. Sherria's eyes widen in shock.
"A WIND CLONE?!" Sherria shouted. Suddenly, Wendy appeared right below Sherria with an orb of magical energy in her hand.
"Take this, Sherria! Tenryu no Rasengan!" as Wendy slammed the attack into Sherria's gut. However, Sherria was not going down so easily as she slammed her still active senpuken into Wendy's abdomen. Both girls lost the air in their lungs as they were sent flying back to the arena floor with a loud….
BOOM!
"WENDY/SHERRIA!" both guilds shouted for their respective members.
"OH MY AFTER NOW DEVASTATING COLLUSION, BOTH GIRLS HAVE LANDED BACK ONTO THE ARENA! WHO'LL BE THE ONE STANDING IN THE AFTERMATH!?"
When the smoke cleared, both girls were on their hands and knees coughing up spit, bile, and blood.
"*COUGH* That was amazing Wendy, but there is one thing I have that you don't."
"*COUGH* And what's that?" Wendy coughed out.
And to everyone's shock and Wendy's amazement, Sherria's wounds began to heal and disappear.
"This is the greatest gift of my magic. I can heal my wounds." Sherria said.
"Sherria was our secret weapon for these games. No one can stop her. And she hasn't even used that form yet." Lyon said in a prideful tone.
"Damn it. I can't believe Lyon had someone like this up his sleeves." Gray muttered.
'Wendy.' many of her guild thought in concern. Sherria began to walk forward to finish this before she began to cough violently as she held her gut in pain.
"Sherria what's wrong?!" her concern team shouted.
'This pain. I thought I healed the damage from Wendy's attack. But the damage was greater than I expected.'
Wendy saw Sherria stagger and knew this would be her best chance to end this fight for good. So she quickly gets up, ignoring the pain flaring in her abdomen. She stretched her arms out as her magical energy began to flare. "Metsuryu Ougi!"
"Wait she's mastered it already?!" Porlyusica shouted in shock.
"Hey is that one of the spells Grandeeney and her dad left her?" Happy asked.
"I hope it'll be enough." Lily said.
"Please win Wendy." Carla prayed.
Suddenly the two were enveloped in a large wind vortex.
"Shoha Tenkusen!" Wendy shouted as a magic seal appeared and fired a huge blast of wind magic right at Sherria. The sky god slayer could nothing, but take the full brunt of the attack before colliding again with the ground. Wendy dropped to one knee as her drive mode ran out.
'*HUFF*. *HUFF*. Damn this was a hard ass fight.' Wendy thought before looking again at Sherria's down form. 'But at least I won.'
"Sherria's down and the winner is-" Mato began to say, but…...
"Hold it!" And to the shock of Wendy and horror of her team, Sherria was back up with all her injuries gone.
"Gomen. It took longer for me to heal those injuries than I thought. I have to say you nearly got me with that Wendy, but this is far from over." Sherria said.
"Damn what a girl." Gray said.
"What's with her?" Natsu muttered in shock.
"All the damage Wendy inflicted is gone." Lucy said in concern for Wendy.
"Sorry Fairy Tail, but Wendy has no chance of winning." Lyon confidently said.
'Wendy.' Doranbolt thought before someone accidentally bumped, who apologized. He turned to say it was nothing, and was surprised to see who bumped him.
'Mystogan?'
'Wendy be careful, the person with connections to Zeref is here.' Jellal and his companions had been watching the games from afar, but when they felt the malevolent energy in the stadium as Wendy's match began, Jellal immediately rushed back in.
"Wendy you can give up now. I know you can't heal your injuries as I can and I like a good fight like any other person, but a senseless beating has no love at all." Wendy simply began to giggle. "Sorry to say your information is outdated." Suddenly, Wendy was enveloped in a light green aura as the audience and Sherria watched in amazement as all her injuries disappeared.
"Tenryu no Shosen." Wendy muttered.
"You can heal your injuries too?!" Sherria said in astonishment.
"That's right. I learned this when training for the GMG." Wendy said.
"Sugoi, your sensei really prepared you for everything." Wendy nodded. "Yes, he did."
"THERE ARE ONLY TWO MINUTES LEFT IN THIS FIGHT! CAN A WINNER BE DECIDED BEFORE TIME RUNS OUT?!"
"Well, Wendy how about we put out all the stops." Wendy nodded. "Agreed."
The two then began to gather large quantities of air and began to absorb it into their bodies.
Sherria was soon enveloped in a fiery red aura. Her hair and eyes became bright red.
"God Force," Sherria muttered. "This my full power, Wendy. Do you have anything to match that?" Wendy smirked. "Yes, I do."
[Fairy Tail OST: Indomitable Fairy Tail Extended]
Suddenly Wendy was enveloped in a pinkish white aura as her hair became shaggy, bright pink, her eyes became blood red with slits, her whisker marks became more defined, her arms became more scally like a dragon, feathers grew on her wrists and ankles, and she gained a pair of wings on her back.
"DRAGON FORCE!" Wendy yelled expelling the excess energy into winds around the arena. Everyone was left speechless.
"WENDY HAS DRAGON FORCE?!" Natsu shouted in absolute shock.
"MORE THAN THAT, NATSU! SHE CAN USE IT AT WILL!" Gray shouted back.
"But that's insane! Natsu could only achieve it when he ate that lacrima infused with etherion." Erza thought aloud in amazement.
'I can't believe you could achieve this at such a young age, Wendy. Natsu needed outside assistance twice for him to even reach the transformation, even then it was incomplete compared to yours. You have grown Wendy.' Mystogan complimented as he was truly amazed at Wendy's power.
"She has Dragon Force. I can't believe it." Yukino said in shock.
"Sugoi Wendy." Katja and several others said.
"Wendy, how you've grown in such a short amount of time." Makarov said.
"Naruto, really went all out in her training." Mavis giggled.
"She has dragon force." Gajeel said as he stared in complete shock at Wendy.
"Well, then it looks our little Wendy isn't so little anymore," Mirajane said in a fake sad tone. "They grow up so fast!" Mirajane fake cried.
"You and Natsu better pick up the pace, before Wendy leaves you two in the dust." Laxus teased as Gajeel glared at him. "SHUT IT!"
"HOW CAN SHE HAVE DRAGON FORCE?!" Sting and Rogue shouted in unison.
"It seems you were wrong to underestimate that girl." Rufus said.
"Now I think it's safe to put this girl as a potential threat to our victory." Minerva said before looking at her team."She is someone we will need to watch out for."
"She has dragon force. At such a young age." Dimaria said in an impressed tone.
"I think she beats anyone else's record. Including her own father, I think." Irene said with a thoughtful expression.
'Go get them my darling Wendy.' Anna thought in pride.
"Ready to end this?" Wendy asked. Sherria nodded. "Yeah."
"IT LOOKS LIKE THE GIRLS PLAN TO END THIS WITH THEIR NEXT MOVE. WHO SHALL BE THE VICTOR?!"
Sherria then jumped into the air before being enveloped in black and violet winds that took the shape of a bird. Wendy soon began to collect the winds around her as the air began to heat up before erupting into flames around her. However, the temperature continued to increase until the flames turned blue! Wendy jumped up into the air as the flames enveloped her and formed into a shape very reminiscent of Grandeeney.
"Metsujin Ogi: Sky Attack!"
"Metsuryu Ogi: Brave Bird!"
The two attacks collided as a massive explosion enveloped the arena.
"TIME'S UP! THE LAST MAGE STANDING WILL BE DECLARED THE WINNER!"
When the smoke cleared, only one girl was standing. When it was cleared, Sherria was on the ground, but Wendy was still up.
"THAT'S IT! WENDY MARVELL TAKES THE VICTORY!"
"SHE DID IT!" Lucy shouted.
"SUGOI WENDY!" Natsu and Gray said.
'You were magnificent, imouto.' Erza thought.
"Wendy won!" Mirajane shouted in joy.
"Never had any doubt." Cana said as she gulped down her keg of beer.
"She did her part, now it's up for the rest of us and her team to do the same." Gildarts said.
"Magnificent, Wendy." Jura said as he thought back to when he first met Wendy. She was a shy stuttering girl, and now look at her. 'You have grown into a wonderful girl and mage, Wendy Marvell. Be proud of yourself. You have earned this victory.'
"Wendy, I'm so glad you won." Irene said.
"Well done my daughter." Anna said as small tears fell from her eyes. Pride and joy evident on her face.
Wendy finally fell to her knees as she finally acknowledges all the shouting.
"WENDY! WENDY! WENDY! WENDY!"
"I-I won." she muttered. She finally gained a huge smile as tears fell down her eyes. "I actually won." She then felt a warmth covering her body. 'Nice job partner, you deserve the win.' Dark complemented.
'Thank you, Dark.' she said to her inner self.
"You were amazing, Wendy." a voice said. Wendy turned to see Sherria smiling at her.
"So were you." Wendy complimented. Sherria tried to get up but fell back down.
"Thanks. I would hug you, but I can't move at the moment," she said.
"Hang on." Wendy said as she shakingly got up.
"Let me help-" before she could finish she began to fall again.
"WENDY!" shouted in concern.
However, before she or anyone could do anything, someone caught her. Wendy looked up and was shocked to see her father there. He tapped her forehead before saying, "Curaja." as Wendy was enveloped in a green aura and all her injuries were gone. He then pointed a finger at Sherria.
"Curaja." as all her injuries were gone. Sherria then jumped up and felt good as new. She then bowed to Naruto.
"Thank you, mister." she said in appreciation. Naruto nodded before he looked at Wendy and patted her head kindly. "You did well, my dear." Wendy enveloped him in a fierce hug before kissing him on the cheek. Something that surprised the entire audience, her approaching team, and caused two people to frown in jealousy. Wendy noticed that her father's attire consisted of a dark blue hooded jacket, a black shirt, and black pants with military-style combat boots. He still wore the rings and earrings from their time in the carnival along with a familiar green necklace and black and gold ray ban aviator sunglasses.
(Think Nero's new attire from Devil May Cry 5. Along with a few additions.)
"Wendy!" She turned to see everyone running towards her.
"Hey everyone." Wendy said politely.
"Wendy, who is this? And why are you so close to him?" Erza asked in suspicion. Naruto merely looked at his daughter in amusement.
"You really did not tell them much, my chibi-hime." he teased as Wendy glared at him.
"I told them a bit about you, but not what you look like. I wanted it to be a surprise." Wendy explained. Everyone from Fairy Tail felt their eyes widen.
"H-Hold on, chibi-hime…." Lucy began.
"But that means….."Gray began in an equally shocked tone.
"No way." Natsu also said in shock. Erza was completely speechless as she now fully understood who this man was. Wendy then got the attention of her team and the entire stadium.
"*Ahem*. Everyone I would like to formally introduce you to Naruto Marvell, my father." Wendy said with a huge smile. Naruto took off his sunglasses as he showed everyone his deep blue colored eyes, which had no slits! (Naruto can control when he has them like the other slayers. Its just been a while since he's done it.)
"It's nice to formally meet you in person, Fairy Tail."

"EHHHHHHHHH?!" everyone shouted.
