Surprises Visit During Training
"HIE-YA!" She-Hulk shouted throwing a strong at Max sending him flying and crashing to a rock.
"You up for more?" She-Hulk called out.
"No.. I think I'm good for… today…" Max said before passing out.
"Alright then, who's next?" She-Hulk asked turning around seeing only the two gun-wizards with Asuka and Romeo as the three are sweating like bullets.
"Wow, you're really strong!" Asuka complimented.
"Y-yeah, maybe too strong…" Alzack stuttered that the green tall woman has beaten not just Max but also Laki, Droy and Jet with ease for "sparring" practice as she calls it.
Sure, She-Hulk was holding back her strength during training so the others could have their chance against her and that she asked for four against one which she thought would make things even for them.
"Are you sure you're holding back?" Romeo asked, looking at the unconscious Laki with her eyes swirling around of being dizzy.
"Come on, it's only been over three weeks, the Grand Magic Game is just a week away." She-Hulk said.
"I don't think I can last another week with her." Droy said waking up, but can't get up. Yeah, those past three weeks were a living Hell for them consider that have to keep taking beatings from She-Hulk herself.
"Besides, it's not like we're going to be part of the team for game, Bisca would make a good addition and Romeo is strong too." Jet pointed out.
"Even so, we all need to get stronger so that we can show the whole country that Fairy Tail is still living strong!" She-Hulk reminded her guildmates why they need to train hard.
"I agree with her there, I can tell you guys have definitely gotten stronger through these past weeks, maybe we can be as strong as them." Bisca said looking at a further distance behind She-Hulk.
We see Wolverine and Squirrel Girl doing their own training as they throw their own punches, kicks, claws and unleashing magic powers at each other as the landscape around them are nearly all destroyed from the training seeing claw marks and craters everywhere as the result of their sparring.
"Lighting Devil Drill Claw" Wolverine spinned fast while coating himself in his red-black lightning into a human drill charging towards Squirrel Girl.
"Acorn Hard Shell" Squirrel Girl put out her giant-fluffy tail in front as it glows in her magic power to stop the drill from advancing.
It's a battle of defense vs offense as the collision caused sparks to erupt from the clash as both lovers struggles to overpower the other while keeping up with their magic seeing who can outlast during this clash. Squirrel Girl can feel her feet being bragged backwards feeling Wolverine's attack is pushing her back quickly trying to think of something to counter the drilling move, then she got the idea. She summons every strength she has to push the flying lightning drill away even if it was only for moment that was all she needs, she quickly bends her knees slightly down and jumps over Wolverine being right above him.
"Big Tail Slam" Squirrel Girl front slip like a rolling ball and slams her tail right on the side forcing Wolverine to stop spinning and smashes to the ground causing a huge dust cloud explosion.
When the dust cleared out, Squirrel Girl is seem standing victories with one foot on Wolverine's back as he groans in pain and a big smile on her face while holding up a peace sign of her hand.
"Damn, looks like you got me this time." Wolverine groaned with a smirk.
"I guess that makes the score even for us now, maybe next time I'll break our tied record." Squirrel Girl giggled before helping Wolverine up on his feet.
"...Okay, probably NOT as strong as them but close enough maybe." Bisca sweatdropped, thinking it would take decades to reach their level of strength.
"Damn, I better push myself harder if I'm ever going to help the team win the game." Romeo said to himself.
"I'm still surprised that Master Macao is letting you be part of the team." Alzack mentioned, recalling how overprotective Macao is for his son.
"Well, dad wanted me to show him how strong I gotten over the years and he was overjoyed." Romeo explained.
When Romeo volunteered to be a member for team Fairy Tail Macao was immediately against it not wanting to watch his own son get hurt from one of the stronger wizards, so the decided to battle against to see if Romeo is indeed strong enough to hold his own in the games. The fight itself wasn't much, but it was emotionally for Macao realizing that his own son has grown up so much with his spirit for the guild and his magic power surpassing his own thanks to his own training with Wolverine. Macao made his decision of letting Romeo in the Grand Magic Game, but only if he comes back to him safe and keep fighting hard.
"Alright everyone, I think it's time we take a break for the day." Wolverine suggested as he and Squirrel Girl walks up to everyone.
"Now, I know the Grand Magic Game is just one week away and I can already guess that the people there will laugh at us because of Fairy Tail's loses over the years." Wolverine said, everyone minus She-Hulk and Squirrel Girl all looked down sad remembering all the humiliating defeats they suffered.
"But this year will be defeat, we will show everyone that Fairy Tail is still as strong as ever by winning the game itself, regaining out title as number one!" Wolverine shouted with pride holding up the Fairy Tail hand sign and everyone cheered along.
Seeing everyone smile makes Wolverine feel proud that he ended up with great friends like them to keep a promise he made so many years ago. He can't remember all of it, but he can still remember meeting a man one day who's from Fairy Tail and asked him to join though he had to take care of something first and promised to join once his task it complete.
"Hey, the game is in one week, right? Why not throw a party in honor to our missing friends and to winning the game!" Jet suggested as everyone likes the idea.
"Yeah, the games are going to scary as they change every year." Droy mentioned.
"They change the game every year?" Wolverine asked.
"Yeah, that always change the events of the game and rules like last year there was a shooting contest, I participated but I only got us third to last place." Bisca explained with an angry tone.
"And the year before that, there was a race and I didn't compete in it because I wasn't part of the team." Jet said in running motion.
"It's always different so that it be very hard for anyone to be prepared." Max added.
"Hmm, well, whatever the game is going to be I'm sure we'll make it through to the end." Wolverine said with confidence.
"Hey, Wolverine!" Macao called out running towards the group.
"Hey Master, what's up?" Wolverine greeted, wondering what got the old man so worked up.
"Well, it just you have some visitors." Macao mentioned.
Wolverine raise an eyebrow wondering who could those visitors be and what do they want with him, decided to see this himself he walk back to the guildhall with everyone following and went inside to see three hooded people sitting at a table as one of them holds a crystal ball.
"Hello Wolverine, hope we didn't interrupt your training?" A woman with a familiar voice asked. Wolverine smirks knowing who that is.
"Nah, we were just done for the day… Ultear." Wolverine said.
The woman took off the hood revealing herself to be Ultear to everyone in the guildhall.
"Whoa, Ultear! I didn't expect to see you here of all places." Macao surprised.
"She's not the only one." A girl voice chuckled, revealing her own face.
She's a young woman with long pink hair, red eyes, and curvaceous body. Her hair reaches down to the middle of her back, is a quite wavy ponytail, and is accompanied by a dark brown set of earmuffs. Her outfit after consists of a red dress with a golden trim around a deep neckline that exposes a large amount of her now ample cleavage with a short skirt and a belt with a yellow ribbon tied around her waist and black colored stockings and brown boots. Breasts sizes: E-cup.
"Meredy?!" She-Hulk and Squirrel Girl gasped.
"Hey you guys, it's been a while." Meredy greeted with a cheerful smile.
"Then that means you're here as well, Jellal." Wolverine pointed out as the last person stands up.
"Yes, it certainly has been a while, Wolverine." The man now known as Jellal said taking off his hood.
He's a young man whose most prominent features are his blue hair and a red tattoo above and under his right eye. He wears a dark coat, very similar to the one he stole from the Naked Mummy member, only with heart like designs running down the sleeves and sides of the coat. Beneath this, Jellal wears plated armor, which covers his abdomen, and dark pants bearing the symbol of Crime Sorcière. On top of all this, Jellal sports a dark, high-collared cloak.
"Whoa, it's the whole Crime Sorcière Guild, independent guild!" Jey shocked.
"And Wolverine, She-Hulk, and Squirrel Girl knows them like best buddy! What the hell is going on!" Max freaked out.
"We meet them when I was with She-Hulk and Squirrel Girl years ago and helped them take down some dark guilds." Wolverine explained.
"And it was when Ultear declared her love to him." Meredy mentioned boldy.
"Hey, no need to say that out loud." Ultear blushed and Squirrel Girl suddenly jumps onto her for a hug.
"Wow, it's been so long Ultear, I hope we can have some fun together!" Squirrel Girl excited.
"I see you're as cheerful as always." Ultear chuckled.
"We heard you guys were going to compete in the Grand Magic Game, so we decided to come here to wish you guys good luck." Meredy explained the reason for her guild being here.
"Really, that's cool we sure could use the luck." Jet said scratching the back of his head.
Wolverine walk close to Jellal.
"You didn't really come here for the party, did you?" Wolverine asked whispering in Jellal's ear.
"Meet me outside in a few minutes, I have something important to talk to you about." Jellal said, Wolverine nod.
Soon, night has come and everyone in the small guildhall have started celebrating together with Crime Sorciere having some drinks, enjoying the food, and playing some games to pass the time.
Meanwhile, Wolverine and Jellal are outside standing at the back of the guildhall.
"So, what is it that you want to talk about?" Wolverine asked with a serious look on his face.
"It's about the Grand Magic Game, something is happening there and its growing stronger." Jellal answered.
"Like what?"
"I'm not sure, we haven't been able to figure that part out yet, but we know it's been happening during the time of the Grand Magic Game and the magic feels very dark. Almost like Zeref's." Jellal said.
"Zeref? You mean that dark, powerful wizard who's alive for 400 years?" Wolverine asked, making sure it's the same guy.
"Yes, something big is happening and we need to stop it before that happens. For all we know, it could end up destroying all that we know." Jellal stated clutching his fist.
"Is there anything I can do to help?" Wolverine asked, he can already tell how bad the situation is without Jellal telling him and wants to help.
"Me and the girls will try to do in our part to search, maybe one of the wizards in some guild could be involved in the dark magic. See if you can see something about them." Jellal planned.
"I'll see what I can do, just make sure not to get yourself caught. Those Magic Council still won't see you making amends of the crime you did in the past." Wolverine said a little angry.
"Don't worry, I've always been careful with the authorities." Jellal stated. He and the girls have manages to sneak around with the officers from the Magic Council to notice and even if they caught up to them, they always managed to get away.
"So, I take it this is a request for Fairy Tail?" Wolverine asked with a grin.
Jellal laughs a bit seeing the exciting look on the vicious claw-man's face reminding him of how Natsu is when it comes to fighting strong opponents and always willing to help others along the way with his friends backing him up, even when things looks bad for everyone Natsu never gives up until the end and always remembered his famous catchphrase of all time.
"I'm all fired up!"
"It would seem Fairy Tail is in good hands and yes, this is an official request for help to find the source of the dark magic and destroy it!" Jellal confessed, he learned from a certain red-haired woman he knows that it's okay to ask help from others.
"Can't wait for the action! Soon, all of Fiore, no, all of Ishgar to know that Fairy Tail is the strongest guild of all time!" Wolverine declared raising his fist with the metal claws out aiming them at the moon.
"(Erza, by the time you get home Fairy Tail will be stronger than ever.)" Jellal thought smiled, looking up at the night sky with a single tear streaming down his face thinking about his loved red-haired girl.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
Wow, everyone sure is getting pumped up for the big magic game as they'll need every bit of strength they have to win this year and show everyone that Fairy Tail is still strong or stronger than it was before.
