Alright, here we go, Chapter 8. Funny that when I had written this using the chapter 6 details, that chapter turned into 2 chapters, and then when I had all of this data compiled it was almost 30k words in total and I had forced myself to break it down as much as possible without ruining the plot. This means that with all the revisions, I had written up multiple chapter's for the updates in a single go. Anyways, all of you enjoy this series update to your heart's content.
Enjoy.
Erza looked at the eager blond in front of her with a scrutinizing gaze, "I apologize, but I must defeat you here." the redhead told her.
"Well well, the famous Titania herself already thinking that she's won." Kiria stated softly, "I don't doubt your battle prowess, but there is something you should know, we are evenly matched." she told the now curious redhead.
"How so?" Erza questioned.
"See, the unique thing about my guild, aside from us being all dragon slayer's is that we aren't the typical First or Second or even those weirdo's claiming the Third Generation." Kiria told her, "See, we go beyond the vaunted Fourth Generation, like our Ace, Georg, who has turnt into a dragon." Erza felt her back stiffen at the mention of their being a Generation beyond the Third. And though she couldn't see it, the First through Third Generation Dragon Slayer's and Selene could perfectly make out the conversation, "We, are the fifth Generation Dragon Slayer's, the perfected Dragon Slayer's." she told her.
"There's a fourth and fifth Generation!?" Sting cried out.
"Huh, that's interesting." Minerva hummed as she heard this.
"Its not possible, we just learned of the Third Generation days ago!" Natsu said with wide eyes.
"And now there is suddenly a fourth and fifth generation!?" Gray finished
"I didn't even know there were an additional two generation's after the Third. This is to much information!" Mavis said in shock.
"And what makes you so sure that even with all this knowledge that you are evenly matched to me?" Erza questioned.
"Because, we of the Fifth Generation, are known as Dragon eater's." she told her, causing those who were listening in to gasp, "See, the first Generation are known as the strongest, this much is true as they don't have the weakness that we do when we fight, but we have one advantage over them. When we eat our prey, their power becomes our own. I ate the Blade Dragon. My body, is my weapon." she told her, "And while Suzaku ate the Saint Sword Dragon, the difference between our styles is like night day. And not only that, Suzaku is a Samurai, so his entire way of fighting is around that of honorable combat." she explained.
"So, you gain your power through consuming the dead dragon's you defeat?" Erza questioned, "I don't understand fully, but I assume that you can only consume a single form of dragon slayer magic and retain it, even if you eat another you won't gain its magic power?"
"Correct, I've killed three dragon's, consumed them with my comrades." she told her, "The difference however, is that I grew strong by training my body to hone the power blessed upon it by the Blade Dragon I consumed to its limits." she explained, "Now, shall we begin?"
"Yes, we shall." Erza said as she coated her body in a blinding light causing Kiria to quirk a brow.
Huh, the carpets matched the drapes... In all fairness, she would freely admit she had thought that her hair was dyed, it was too elegant of a color on her.
She was bi-sexual, don't judge her. Hell, she had hit on Selene when she met the woman, and she was... punished for it, that spanking was not what she had in mind for a kinky roleplay! She wanted to get laid, and instead she was punished-IT WASN'T FAIR DAMMIT, SHE WANTED SOME NOOKIE!
When the light died down, Erza was no longer clad in the clothes she had entered the arena in, for she was now donned in her Purgatory Armor. The dark amor sang destruction, and Kiria actually found herself curious, "Nice, very appealing." she said as her eyes moved across Erza's form, causing the redhead to balk in shock.
Was she... was she, hitting on her!?
Erza shook her head to get her head in the game, picking up the massive blade up over her head, "If you won't come to me, then I'll come to you!" she called out as she charged ahead, the blond woman smirking as Erza swung her sword, and simply raised her head and intercepted the swing, flesh meeting steel in a clash for the ages, and shock of the crowd. Erza felt her eyes widen in shock, "So it's true, you really are a weapon..." she muttered.
"Darling, I'm not just a weapon, I'm the weapon." Kiria said before she drew her opposing hand back flattening it out before thrusting it out of the way, only for Erza to twist her body out of the line of the thrust as Kiria jumped into the air, "Come and show me what the famous Titania can really do!" she cried out in excitement, "Blade Dragon's: Tearing Slash" Kiria declares as she swings her arm and releases an attack that slashes the ground apart while her target is thrown upward and away with a cry of shock from the act.
"Wow, with her bare hands!" Makarov said with wide eyes.
"I can't believe this chick, she's crazy strong!" Gajeel said in astonishment.
"She did that, in a single swipe?" Laxus asked curiously, "That's nuts."
"She might just be the Anti-Erza..." Mira hummed, "Kinda curious as to how this will turn out." she thought aloud.
Erza lands in a roll and stabs her sword into the ground, "You did that, in one blow, I can't say that I'm surprised, you are a dragon slayer, but I hadn't realized that your power is designed to destroy that which you hunt, and you have succeeded in slaying your foes for the people. And not only that, but you are as strong as Laxus is physically, meaning that slow and overwhelming strength will afford me nothing in this fight!" she called as she glowed again as she swapped her armor out once again. When the light died down, her armor had changed, this time into her Ataraxia Armor.
Kiria sighed, "You realize the number of blades won't determine the outcome, right?" she questioned, her arms crossing over her chest.
"No, but it will allow me to hold you off long enough to strategize on what to fight against you better." Erza responded as she commanded the blades telekinetically to attack Kiria.
The blond stuck her tongue out and excitedly charged into the fray, he hands coating themselves in thin aura's that flattened out to resemble blades, "This should be fun!" she stated, "The sound of steel against steel...it sends shivers down my spine!" she called out. Her arms swiped out, twisting and moving in a incredible display of acrobatics' as she deflected or blocked various strikes, the energy held within each swipe being physically grabbed by the blond before she inhaled, shocking the crowd when she ate the power of the cuts to grow her strength, "It's intoxicating to know that you can wield so much, yet hold all the power in your veins at bay." she said licking her lips.
"She ate the slices coming from Erza's swords, what kind of Dragon Slayer can do that?" Chapati questioned in shock.
"Even as a Dragon Slayer, her magic is a unique one I must admit." Yazima hummed.
"Hmph, she better be grateful, even in death my son was a thousand times better at displaying his strength than a measly requip user." Selene snorted. Her arms crossed under her chest as she watched, imagining the young hybrid child as he trained with his father who taught him how to fight properly, his brother's joining him to grow stronger together.
She missed them... all of them...
Kiria slid back as she jumped over a series of swipes and placed her hands on the ground before rising, "Not bad, red, not bad at all." she said as she took a stance that Naruto had done taken before, "But let's see how you stand against this!" she called as she inhaled. Erza's body glowed before it vanished as she requipped into her Adamantine armor, immediately slamming the large sheild together to block the onslaught, "Blade Dragon's: Tearing Roar" she called as she snarled out a massive blast of energy. As she does so, the breath attack rips the ground apart, cutting thin ribbons through the earth as the energy rips chunks out of the armor as it dies down.
"Oh-ho, you withstood that one huh?" Kiria asked.
"I've withstood a lot to reach this point, so what?" Erza called as she requipped into a new set of armor, the dark armor exposed her stomach and held a set of wings on the back. She hefted a sword in front of her, "It shows my commitment to my guild, to my friends and family!" she said as she charged ahead, "Moon Flash" she called as she unleashed a series of cuts at Kiria who jumped into the fray, her hands cutting the slashes apart as she clashed with the redhead.
"And what are convictions if not the foundations of ones own will?" Kiria asked in response, "It just means I get to break some of those foundations in order to see the real you!" she called as she raised a hand and created a thick coating of energy on her hand, "HAH!" she called as she sliced down, the energy rippling out as Erza jumped out of harms way as the attack carved the ground apart.
"This is incredible, who's to say that one of these ladies can drop the other in defeat!?" Chapati cried out as Erza clashed again and again before she jumped back and requipped into a different outfit.
"I can't sense the magic in that one, what is that armor?" Kiria questioned curiously.
"It's my Clear Heart Clothing, there is no magic held within them." she answered.
"Cute, but I still haven't seen the real you!" Kiria called to the redhead.
On some unspoken signal, the two charged at each other. To the other's looking on from above, it would appear as if the two had simply teleported. One instant, they were several meters apart, the next they were right next to each other, their sword/hands locking in a clash that generated a powerful shockwave and caused everyone's hair to be buffeted by the violent winds.
Kiria was the first to disengage their lock, but she wasn't the first to attack. Erza came in fast and furious, leading with the blade in her left hand. Kiria raised her hand and, not blocked the blade, but redirected by applying a slant to her sword's position, holding it at an angle. The blade slid off in a hers of sparks.
As the first attack failed, Erza came back in with a powerful slash from the blade in her right hand. The swing, coming in from the left hip, moved up in an attempt to bisect her from left hip to right shoulder. While the slash was swift enough that her arm appeared as nothing more than a blur, Kiria managed to avoid the attack by taking a step backwards. She also avoided the follow up thrust from the left blade by side stepping and using her hand to push her attack wide.
Erza didn't let that bother her. She continued moving forward by using the momentum generated from her thrust. she spun, rotating a full circle, before swinging the blade in her left hand, a loud clang ringing out as her sword met Kiria's. Their blades locked, using only one hand, pushed against the blade.
Kiria's eyes narrowed. She then slid into a smooth, neutral stance, her sword sliding back into its sheath. In less time than it took to blink, the blade was pulled back out, the movement so smooth and quick even Erza could not see it. She did see the ripple of air the attack caused, however, and knew that if she let that attack hit her it would hurt.
A sigh. It looked like she might actually have to get a little serious if she wanted to beat her. But still, she would rather fight her without the use of her powers. Crouching low, Erza set herself a firm stance and crossed her Kiba blades. As the shockwave of funneled wind channeled into a destructive sword that extended beyond perception came towards her, she slashed her swords down and created her own shockwave. The two attacks hit each other, the incredible power creating an explosion of kinetic energy that caused the ground to splinter and the winds to howl with the sound of a thousand anguished souls.
Dust blew upwards and outwards, engulfing the battleground in a thick, choking layer of natural pollution. Erza "tsked" and spun her swords around, blowing the dust away.
Kiria was right in front of her.
She was already attacking.
Erza's arms moved in a blur as Kiria's katana sought to slip through her defenses. A thrust was blocked with her right sword. Her return attack, a downward slash with the left blade, was married when Kiria shifted her blade, allowing her own to glance off it before using the generated kinetic energy to increase the speed of her swing and attack with an uncountable number of slashes.
Eyes narrowed and arms working faster than they had in about a thousand or so years, Erza blocked those strikes she could, and avoided those she couldn't. She used a minimalist style, moving just enough to dodge her attacks without any wasted motion. There were several close calls, and one of her sleeves did receive a small cut, but she managed to avoid injury.
Kiria's blade hand screamed towards her with swift fury. Erza responded to her challenge, blocking the attack with her right blade while her left moved towards her chest. The attack, a thrust, was dodged as Kiria took a step back and to the right, allowing the sword to pass her left side. She then lashed out with an upward slash as she counterattacked. It didn't take off Erza's arm, which almost appeared to be her intent, but it did make her aware of something. Kiria was better than her. She had more talent in such combat than she did. However, unlike Erza, who was extremely talented but limited by her lacking physical attributes, Kiria had no such problem.
Her body, it seemed, was more than capable of keeping up with her when she was using her magic to enhance herself. That didn't mean Erza was going to use any magic, though. Not with such an amazing opponent. For the first time in her life, Erza found an opponent who could actually push her. It didn't matter if she was holding back. The fact that Kiria could keep up with her alone was incredible enough. That she could actually prove herself superior at something was amazing.
As the battle wore on, Erza noticed a change in Kiria's expression. Her face, once stern and cold in ways she'd never seen on her, was now warm and inviting. There was a smile on her face, and she knew that she was enjoying herself as much as she was.
A flash of speed and once again, Erza reappeared in front of the Blade Dragon Slayer, moving so fast she left an afterimage in the place where she had stood. She came at her with a lightning-fast and powerful diagonal slash that would slice her from Kiria's left shoulder to her right hip if she hadn't raised her sword with matching speed to block. A loud clang thundered like the sound of a lightning bolt tore through the sky, causing a powerful shockwave that knocked the observing people on their asses and buffeted the hair of everybody back due to the violent winds that followed after it.
"You're doing fairly well against me when I'm like this." Erza smirked as she looked at Kiria's icy blue eyes. She trailed her eyes down and the left corner of her lips curved up when she saw two large cracks under her boots, "I highly recommend you try to get serious." Kiria said nothing and broke their lock before immediately engaging Erza in an 'out of Earth' sword clash.
With sword in her right hand, Erza came at Kiria fast and furious and so did Kiria. They didn't try to block, they didn't even try to parry each other's wild yet extremely accurate strikes. They attacked and let their blades clash in the middle, moving so fast the normal spectators could no longer see their arms and their weapons and striking so strong each time their sword came into contact with each other a shockwave was created.
Kiria hardened her eyes, and in a powerful slash, she managed to knock her back but parted her mouth slightly when she realized she had been pushed back two meters as well, with her feet skidding on the ground. Erza landed gracefully on her feet, a small smirk on her face when she looked up and locked eyes with Kiria. Metal blades clashed as they met in the middle of the field, sending sparks flying between them.
"Five minutes remain, who's going to come out on top in this incredible battle!" Chapati exclaimed.
Kiria huffed a heavy breath, "You know, this is the first time that someone other than Suzaku has managed to actually push me so hard in a fight." she commented, "And I'm the daughter of a Swordsman, so fighting you in such a fashion should be easy."
"I grew up fighting, for every battle I engaged in, I learned more and more. When I became the best of my Guild, I made it a point to remain as the strongest female in the ranks, I would assume you pushed yourself similarly?" Erza questioned.
"Somewhat, I would normally ignore a sword fight, but fighting you has allowed me the opportunity to fight seriously, gimme a sword, I'll show you that even with no Dragon Slayer Magic, I am more than a match for you." Kiria stated, a glow filled the air as Erza called a Katana out and tossed the blade to Kiria where she caught it, "Now, let's get serious." she said as she gripped it.
Erza placed both hands on her katana and fixed her grip slightly, her eyes never wavering or her conviction failing her.
Kiria, having gotten tired of waiting, decided to make the first move. Charging at the redhead, their swords clashed in a shower of sparks. Kiria performed a couple slashes, but Erza simply brought her sword up and allowed it to take the hit before she ducked under the next wing. Kiria smirks as she rolls the sword in her hand over and then back before she leaps at Erza. The kick is blocked, but Kiria swings down, only to clash with Erza's katana and pushes Kiria away to ready a swing that is blocked by the blonde.
Spinning around, Kiria elbows Erza in the chest and forces her to exhale the breath before smashing her arm into her nose causing her to stumble back with a small cry. Spinning in an attempt to cut Erza in two, dust is thrown in the air as Erza jumps back and slides across the ground. Coming to a stop, Erza's fierce gaze locks on Kiria and she charges forward once again. The world around them was a blur, their main focus is the opponent before them and their own goals.
Kiria leaps over Erza, the redhead spinning on a dime to try and cut Kiria down, only for her sword to slice through the ground just as Kiria leaps away, Erza giving chase soon after. Coming to a stop, Kiria slides across the ground, dust falling off as she did so, and Erza stops shortly after as she thrusts her sword, only to be parried by Kiria. Kicking Erza away, a cloud of dust fills the air as Kiria charges in, their blades clashing with sparks as the dust finally clears the air.
Pushing Kiria back, Erza thrusts and jabs her katana a couple times, only for Kiria to leap up and over her to land behind her. With a silent grunt, Kiria attempts to slice at Erza's leg, but barely nicks her as the redhead jumps over the slash in time. As she flips over Kiria, their blades block one another in a new shower of sparks before Erza lands on the opposing side of the blond as the two thrust and parry their blades where Erza spins around and swings her blade. Kiria barely blocks it, but Erza simply runs her katana down Kiria's sword in a rain of sparks and swings, barely missing the blonde as she does so.
Kiria performs several flips back and stops to look at Erza. Blood pools on the ground at her feet from the cut given to her by Kiria, but as Kiria looks at her, she feels a small wetness on her cheek and puts her hand on it, only to see the crimson from Erza's own cut from seconds ago. They had both drawn blood. Kiria's grin said it all, she was enjoying herself, and she wanted more.
Suddenly a powerful wind blew from the side, kicking dust up and forcing everyone to cover their eyes, save for Erza and Kiria who allowed the dust to turn into a dense cloud, Kiria's form being enshrouded as she charged ahead. Bursting out of the cloud, Kiria swings, but Erza blocks and stumbles away, nearly falling. But in the end, the redhead gains some distance as Kiria gives chase. Swinging, Erza ducks under Kiria's blade as the blonde spins around in an attempt to cleave her in two, but she misses and barely manages to stop Erza's thrust before she continues to run after the blond.
Erza tries to swing back, but Kiria lands on her back and spins around Erza and back to her feet in front of the blond. Swing after swing, clash after clash, the two are relentless as they try to break through the others guard. Kiria gives a thrust, cutting into Erza's cheek forcing the redhead to dodge out of the way, but this leaves her open. With a swing of her sword, Kiria draws more blood as she cuts into Erza's shoulder, the blond's blood spraying across the ground behind her as she groans in pain. Another slice strikes the ground, cutting through it deeply as Erza moves out of the way.
Running through the dust, Kiria follows Erza across the arena, only for the blond to make an abrupt stop as Erza turned back and thrust her sword. Several clashes of sparks fill the air before the two yell and slam their blades together, the metal shaking as they hold their swords with both hands. Kiria grins excitedly as she looks into Erza's eyes. However, the redhead simply inhales before releasing it as she controls her breathing, the edge of her sword fogging up for a second. Pushing Kiria to the side, Erza crouches slightly and swings her blade, a spray of blood filling the air as Kiria's forehead is sliced open in a viscous spray.
Kiria drops her weapon as Erza stands above her now, only to clap her hands together and grab the katana in her opponent's hand before she pulls it in and smashes an elbow into Erza's face causing her to stumble back. Picking up her own sword, Kiria flips it and holds the tip of the blade and watches as Erza gets on her feet. With a spin, Kiria hurls the sword at Erza intending to impale her. However, Erza's wide eyes manage to perceive the threat to her life and crosses her arms, where the sword stabs through her arm out the other side.
Erza grunts as she falls down on the ground and rolls across the dirt. Without her weapon, Kiria simply charges forward, grabbing onto her opponent's katana where she leaps into the air and begins to fall down at Erza, slamming her feet into the redhead where they crash through the rocks and crash to a stop by an arena wall near the wide eyed spectators. Rocks, dust and dust fill the air as Erza comes rolling out, the blade clearly seen sticking from her arm as she comes to a stop.
Erza grunts in pain as she looks at her arm, and then at Kiria now charging her. Without hesitation, Erza rips the sword from her arm in a spray of blood that covers the earth at her feet and raises the sword up just in time to block Kiria's swing, the two blades shattering from the sheer force used to slam the two katana's into one another. And as the tips of the two blades tab into the ground while the girls stumble past one another, the bell signifying the match was over began to ring, shouts of discontent filled the arena, but there was cheering from those who had enjoyed the fight.
"And that is the end of the match, it's a draw!" Chapati exclaimed.
"Truly wonderful fight there girls." Yazima said pleasantly.
"Astounding, Erza actually had a challenge for once, I wish the match could have gone longer to see who would have won that fight." Jenny said eagerly.
Over the next hour, Sabertooth managed to gain 2nd place with 18 points after Orga Nanagear destroyed War Cry of Sabertooth. Ren would fight against Araña Webb from Mermaid Heel and take the victory for his guild, this was followed by the announcer's calling out into the microphone-
"Now then let's get on with the last fight of the day! Jura Neekis of Lamia Scale vs….." Chapati announced as the images of Jura appeared followed by a surprise guest for Fairy Tail, Mystogan of Fairy Tail B!"
This got the attention of everyone in Fairy Tail. Mystogan was going out. That would mean this would be a battle between two mages that were recognized as Wizard Saints. Makarov hoped Mystogan could pull off a win, since this battle would not be simple or easy.
The two mages walked into the arena until they reached the center of the arena. The two mages giving each other impassive looks.
"I must admit in my hearts I would like Fairy Tail to win, however, as a mage, I represent my guild and must give you my all. Are you prepared to lose, Mystogan?" Jura said as he released a potent amount of his magical energy. Mystogan retaliated by releasing his own magical energy.
'To fight on Fairy Tail's behalf...nothing can make me happier.' Jellal thought to himself before speaking verbally, "I intend to win." he said.
"Let the last battle of the day BEGIN!"
Mystogan quickly unbuckles the belt on his shoulder before dashing forward. As he went straight to Jura, the staffs on his back began to float around him in an arc. Jura merely smirked as he lifted two fingers up as a magic seal appeared below Mystogan. The masked mage had little time to react as he jumped to the side as several pillars of rock rose up. Jura then moved his hand as more pillars rose up and all of them were aimed for Mystogan. Using quick maneuvers, he managed to dodge all of the incoming pillars.
With a flick of his wrist, Mystogan's staffs all landed in a circle around Jura. Mystogan brought his hands together to form a hand-sign, "Five Layered Magic Circle: Sacred Song!" as Mystogan shouted those words, five magic seals appeared above Jura before he was bombarded with a powerful magical beam from the seals.
"That's nuts, I can't believe he's copying Mystogan's magic!" Laxus said, impressed at Jellal's resourcefulness.
"That's pretty skillful." Mirajane commented.
"Well at least he's taking the blending in to a whole new level." Makarov said in a joking manner.
"Oh no, Jura-san!" Sherria screamed in concern for her fellow guild mage.
"Relax Sherria. Jura will not fall that easily. After all in my humble opinion he's Fiore's strongest human mage." Lyon commented.
As if to prove his point, a giant rock fist came out of the dust with Jura appearing from the dust without as much as a scratch.
"Three Layered Magic: Mirror Water!" Mystogan shouted as a magic seal appeared in front of him as the stone fist collided with it, and causing it to be sent right back to Jura!
"He sent it back?!" Gray screamed in shock.
"Awesome!" Natsu hollered.
However, Jura merely smirked before waving his fingers again and sent the attack right back to Mystogan!
"He curved it around again?!" Happy shouted.
"What's going to happen?!" Natsu screamed.
This time the attack did hit Mystogan and sent him flying!
"IT'S NO SECRET WHY AS TO WHY JURA IS ONE OF THE WIZARD SAINT'S, BECAUSE HE ROCKS!" Chapati shouted at the top of his lungs.
"That's right, Jura! Hurry up and deliver the finishing blow! Send him spinning!" screamed Ooba.
"She's spinning me! Someone save me!" shouted the poor random mage that she was spinning with everyone just pitying him before going back to the match.
'As expected using someone else's magic won't cut it with an opponent like him. Even if the magic is from another version of me. I need to use my magic if I intend to win this for Fairy Tail!' shouted Mystogan in his head. Mystogan's eyes began to have a golden shine. This got everyone's attention, "Meteor!" Mystogan shouted as he was enveloped in a golden aura before he blitzed towards Jura like a bullet.
Jura felt his eyes widen in shock as he realized who he was fighting, "But that's-" he exclaimed in shock before he grunted when he was forced to focus on the fight where he raises his hands again, "Iron Rock Wall!" he shouts as a rock wall appears in front of him, but Mystogan just dashes around it and lands a solid hit on Jura. "HA!" Jura shouts as the Iron Wall breaks apart into several brick squares. He then maneuvers the rocks to attack the flying mage. Mystogan manages to avoid some of the flying debris, but some landed there marks and caused Mystogan to start falling back to the arena. However, instead of looking distress, Mystogan looked rather calm.
"Perfect timing." he muttered, but Jura noticed something was off and he looked up to see a constellation pattern above him!
"There are magic circles in the sky?!" Kiria exclaimed.
"When did he have time to do this?!" Sting demanded.
"Did he do it while dodging the attacks?!" Natsu called out.
Mystogan landed gracefully on the arena and looked at Jura, "May the seven stars bring judgement upon you! Grand Chariot!" The seven seals glowing before firing concentrated beams of energy of Jura.
However, Jura was not deterred and simply clasped his hands together and shouted, "Rock Mountain!" as a giant armored titan of stone rose from the sand and took the attack as the arena was filled with dust and debris. Everyone was in awe at the battle that was taking place before them. It was like a battle between two wizard saints!
Little did they know that's was exactly what they were witnessing, 'I see. I now know your true identity. It seems that you were not completely frank with me, Makarov.' Jura thought in amusement.
'I can't lose here. I must win for Fairy Tail!'
Jura smiled at Mystogan, "It's been a long time since I've had an opponent like you. Perhaps it's time I stop holding back." Jura said before giving Mystogan a very ominous look as he released even more magical power. Mystogan and the audience's eyes widen as they felt the magical power being released by the wizard saint.
"Hoho! Jura seems to be taking this battle seriously as he begins to release his magical power!"Chapati said.
"It's been a long time since I felt Jura release this much power. I think the last time was during the trials of crowning a wizard saint."Yajima commented.
"That shows how much of opponent Mystogan is to Jura." Jenny added her own two cents to the conversation.
"I don't believe it. Jura's power could easily be on par with Gildarts at this point." Makarov said.
"Holy crap that's some power?!" Gajeel in shock as he felt slightly intimidated by the magical pressure he was feeling.
"From this point on, Mystogan will struggle if he doesn't take this seriously as well." Mirajane said.
"Be careful, Jellal." Erza whispered to herself.
"Don't worry, Jellal will win." Naruto told them seriously.
A magic circle appeared below Jura as rock debris began collecting around him. The debris collected around his arms and legs as a second layer of skin. Six spikes formed on Jura's back; three on each side of his back, "Rock magic: Iron Rock Armor." Jura said in a dark tone.
"There it is folks! I never thought we would see this so soon! The power that gave Jura his nickname in the wizard saints, The Iron Rock Armor!"
"Victory is now assured. Nothing can stop Jura once he dons his armor." Lyon said.
"I wouldn't be so sure." Sherria said as her teammates look at her strangely.
"You think Jura could lose?" Yuuka asked in a confused tone.
"The fact that Jura had to use this armor means that his opponent isn't someone we should underestimate." Sherria explained with her teammates skeptical, but nodded to her knowledge.
Back in the arena, Mystogan gave his adversary a critical eye. His magical power was incredible. The rock that surrounded his body were definitely not for show. His body was not only protected, but now will have even more destructive power in the physical and magical aspect. This meant that the kid gloves were coming off.
"Are you prepared, Mystogan?" Jura asked.
Mystogan responded by flaring his magical power as he was enveloped in a golden aura. Jura smirked in retaliation. Jura slammed his foot in the ground as several spikes of earth rose heading straight to the masked mage.
"Meteor!" As the masked masked jumped into the air to dodge the assault.
"That won't save you this time! Thousand Rock Barrage!" Jura shouted as an enormous seal appeared before hundreds of Rock fists went after Mystogan.
"Pleiades!" Mystogan shouted as six rays of light fell from the heaven and collided with the rocks fists causing a massive explosion. However, several fists survived the explosion and continued their assault on Mystogan and the masked mage was forced to maneuver around and parry several of the fists. However, one managed to get behind him and slammed into him. Mystogan grunted as he fell slightly down. He was about to destroy the rock structure before Jura appeared above him with his hands together and slammed them down on Mystogan's defenseless head as he was sent tumbling down before falling down into the arena with a giant…...
BOOM!
"MYSTOGAN!" shouted everyone-aside from Naruto-from Fairy Tail, the loudest being Erza. Jura then commanded the fist to descend on the downed mage. However, before they could strike, all of them were destroyed by several blades of electricity. When the dust cleared, there stood a slightly beaten and bloody Mystogan with nine blades of electricity around his back. "Jiu Leixing." he muttered. Jura just smiled as he descended into the arena.
"I must say I've haven't enjoyed a battle like this in a long time. I must thank you for this entertainment." Mystogan smiled in return.
"Likewise." as he got ready for the next attack from Jura.
"Then let us continue." Jura said as a different magic seal appeared before him. Jura flicked his arms forward, but instead of rock, MOLTEN MAGMA came out of the magic seal like a current heading straight for Mystogan. Mystogan and the rest of the audience's eyes widen at the spectacular feat, except for Lamia Scale that were just smiling in victory. Jura was finally showing his more powerful abilities.
"Holy-! Jura summoned a wave of lava! How will Mystogan respond?!" screamed Chapati.
Mystogan acting quickly he crossed his arm together and began to gather magical power around his arms as a magic seal appeared in front of him, "Hey isn't that?" Natsu asked, recognizing the attack as a black sphere began to appear in the middle of the seal.
"Yes, Natsu. It's the same spell from the Tower of Heaven." Erza confirmed.
"It seems he has improved the delay to charge it now." Gray said.
"Will it be enough?" Lucy asked.
"Let's hope so." Erza muttered.
"Altairis!" Mystogan shouted as a giant, black sphere was launched; heading straight for Jura.
As it traveled towards Jura, it began to absorb the lava in its own gravitational force. However, Jura smirked, "I knew you could handle that, which is why I prepared two aces for you. Molten Rock Mountain!" Jura shouted as another rock giant formed, only this time being formed of magma and actually enveloping Jura as the gravity sphere closed in. Mystogan was about to brace himself for the explosion when he was suddenly enveloped in a shining blue light. He looked down and his eyes widen when he saw a magic circle below him.
"Oh shi-"
"Rumbling Mt. Fuji!" shouted Jura from his golem as Mystogan's attack made contact.
Two massive explosions enveloped Mystogan, Jura and a portion of the arena around them.
"Oh dear, Mystogan and Jura were both captured in the explosions. How will this battle end? Will be the end for the Iron Rock of Lamia Scale or the Masked Mage of Fairy Tail?"Both guilds were worried for their respective members. When the smoke cleared with both mages standing on one knee each and breathing heavily, "HOHO! Jura and Mystogan are still standing! The match still continues, but for how long?!"Chapati shouted.
"Not for long. Both took heavy damage from that last attack. Not to mention all the energy they have used in this fight. I have a feeling this will be decided with the next attack." Yajima said.
Jura stood up in his tattered clothes, although his legs were shaking. "I believe it's time we end this end fight. Wouldn't you say Mystogan?"
Mystogan also got up with his cloak completely gone and his mask was barely hanging on. He needed to end this now. He looked up to give Jura the most determined glare he could muster.
"I agree." he said.
Jura collected molten rock around his body like he did with his Iron Rock Armor.
"Molten Rock Armor." he muttered. Mystogan began to emit a yellow and blue aura.
"Jura, let me show you, the true power of Heavenly Body Magic." he said as he began to move his arms and body in fluid motion that entranced, but also confused the audience. Just what was Mystogan planning? Jura could feel Mystogan's magical energy steadily rise as he continued his movement. The power seem to concentrate around his hands and he swore he saw the outline of a winged horse behind Mystogan. Not taking any chances, Jura dashed hoping to end this with his next attack. Mystogan then gained a glint in his eyes.
"Here I go! Pegasus Ryu-Sei-Ken!" Mystogan shouted as Jura was bombarded with hundred of magically empowered fist that collided with multiple areas of his body causing to grunt in pain. His molten armor was ripped off his body. Mystogan felt his arms burning, but pushed it away as he continued to hit Jura with everything he had. The last fist collided with Jura's abdomen as he was pushed a few meters away from Mystogan.
Jura coughed a mouthful of blood as he staggered from the attack. He looked to see Mystogan also stagger due to the burns he received from the Molten armor.
Jura smiled at the masked mage. "Well done." was all he could say before he collapsed to the ground.
...
For several seconds there was an uncomfortable silence, before it was replaced with loud cheering and applause, "Its over people! The winner of the last match of the day is Mystogan of Team Fairy Tail B!"
"Amazing, I never thought Mystogan was so powerful!" Jenny said in excitement, "Way to go Mystogan, a well earned victory!" she cheered out int her microphone.
"An incredible display of wizardry, this generation sure has come far." Yazima complimented proudly for his guild.
"He did it!" Mirajane shouted.
"Never had any doubt." Naruto said with a shrug.
"Very impressive." Mira nodded.
"Looks like things are looking up for us." Gajeel commented.
"That was a interesting match." Elefseria said happily as he applauded the show.
"I was most certainly entertained by the battle." Misaki smiled.
"I got dibs on the masked man next-cha!" Madmole called.
"Grandma Ooba has fainted!" shouted a random mage from Lamia Scale.
"Well I didn't expect that one." Lyon with a shocked look on his face.
"Neither did I. Fairy Tail is really strong." Sherria said.
"Indeed they are. But that can be good for us." Lyon with an excited smirk. Everyone turned to him in confusion and shock.
"How so?" Yuuka asked.
"Simple. This will make the games much more exciting for us. You may soon be participating Sherria. So get ready to show them your strength." Lyon told the dark pink haired mage. Sherria saluted the ice mage.
"Yes Lyon-san!" she shouted as everyone just chuckled at her antics.
"Ha I wasn't worried for a second." Natsu said.
"Is that why you were sweating for a while." Gray commented with a smirk.
"Shut it Ice-queen." was Natsu's retort.
"It's a good thing he won, right Erza?" Lucy before she noticed that Ezra. The team looked around until they found her already down in the arena helping Mystogan up.
"You don't have to worry so much." Mystogan said.
"Bullshit. You have second degree burns on your hands and parts of your forearms. We need to get you to the infirmary so Wendy and Porlyusica can heal you." Erza said in tone of finality to the discussion.
"Alright, Alright. You really are impossible to argue with." he retorted. Erza just giggled.
"When it come to you, any argument is null and void." she said. The two fell into a comfortable silence as she walked away from the stadium. As they were walking through the halls, Erza spoke again.
"Thank you for fighting for us and for the win. You were amazing." she said. Mystogan nodded.
"I should be the one saying thank you." he said.
The walked in content silence as the crowd continued to cheer. While the two clearly in love kids were having a moment, Blue Pegasus claimed the fourth position when Ren Akatsuki defeated Araina Webb of Mermaid Heel.
"That's it for the first day of the GMG, come back tomorrow for the next exciting days of the games!"
