I decided to give the bet a deadline. To remind you all about what the bet is, whoever guesses the closest to how many chapters there will be by the end of this fanfiction will have the choice of which fandom I write next out of Bleach, Fairy Tail, Harry Potter, and D. Gray-Man. Your guess must be in by the end of the GMG arc. Have fun!

Harry and Natsu told the rest of Fairy Tail what happened last night with Lucy and her would-be kidnappers. The reaction was just as Harry had predicted. When they gave the news, it was quickly followed by silence, but then the inn shook with the outcry of the guild. They were rightfully enraged at what Raven Tail did, even though Harry made a point to say that it was possible that it wasn't even Raven Tail that gave the order to kidnap her.
"Couldn't he have tried to kidnap Lucy to get to you, Harry?" asked Ron, looking worried.
Harry shook his head. "Even if he was going to do something like that, he would have tried to go after Mira instead," he said.
{Yeah, you made it very clear that you and Mira were a thing yesterday during the games,} said Fawkes teasingly. Harry ruffled his familiar's feathers as payment for the silent comment. Fawkes squealed loudly and preened his feathers to fix them.
"That guy had it coming," Harry said, getting confused looks thrown at him from his guildmates. "Everyone knows that Mira and I are dating after yelling at the drunk guy yesterday." Realization replaced the confusion on everyone, but to Harry's dismay, there was also amusement.
"Yeah, you announced that pretty loudly yesterday, mate," said Fred and George with identical grins.
"Whether it was Raven Tail or not, we're still going to crush them along with Sabertooth," said master Makarov. "They have caused a lot of pain to others, and we seem to be the only ones that seem to see it. So let's make sure that when we fight them, they are brought down from their high horse!" The rest of the guild agreed wholeheartedly with the master, and Harry wondered if there was going to be a chance to fight Voldemort during the games or if he was going to get out of not fighting him until their final deathmatch.
Harry was up in the stand with his team, looking down at the arena below. Cana had gone down for their team while Erza was picked for Fairy Tail Team A. He waited to see what the game was going to be.
"Welcome to Pandemonium! Each of you will enter Pandemonium and fight several monsters. There are 100 of these monsters inside, and you get to choose just how many you fight," said the pumpkin-headed announcer. "Each of you should have a slip of paper that has a number on them. This number tells you which of you will go first. If you have a 1 on your slip, please step forward." Harry watched as Erza stepped forward.
'Oh this is going to be good,' he thought.
Erza was asked how many monsters she was going to fight, and the answer didn't surprise Harry in the slightest. "I choose to fight all 100 monsters!" she announced confidently, leaving no room for argument.
Everyone in the crowd had their jaws kissing the floor, and for some reason, some from Fairy Tail were shocked. Harry could understand Ron and Hermione, or any of the new members of Fairy Tail, but even Natsu looked shocked - if only for a moment.
"If that is your decision," said the pumpkin-head nervously. "Erza Scarlet has chosen to take on all 100 monsters of Pandemonium!" He said, even though he didn't have to; everyone had heard what Erza said. "Please step inside. Once you're in, the doors will lock behind you and the monsters will start the attack. Are you ready?" Erza didn't say anything. She walked past the announcer and up to the castle. She didn't hesitate to enter, and from what Harry saw of her in the video feed, she didn't even twitch when the doors shut and locked behind her.
Erza didn't move for a few moments. She and everyone else heard the monster coming out of hiding. She stood there waiting for the beasts to come to her. Once they were within sight, she took out a sword and killed the one closest to her.
Harry, his team, Fairy Tail's other team, the rest of his guildmates, and the other guilds and crowd all watched as Erza changed armor to battle against the monsters. She danced through the air with blades singing in harmony as she sliced through more monsters. It was hypnotic to watch as she made killing 100 monsters look easy.
Harry tried counting how many Erza had killed so far, but he lost count around 30. She was killing them way too fast for him to follow. He knew that she killed a lot more than 30 now, but still.
{They have a counter on the top right corner of the screens,} said Fawkes. Harry looked and saw the word: KILL. Next to KILL was the number 68. Harry was shocked to see just how many monsters she killed in only ten minutes.
After she reached kill 94, she began to slow down. A lot of the guilds were starting to get nervous that Erza might have bitten off more than she could chew, but Harry and those from Fairy Tail knew that Erza would keep going until she passed out from exhaustion.
Erza killed 99 monsters, but she couldn't find the last one. It was toying with her and everyone knew it. Harry kept an eye out for the last monster and finally spotted it hiding in the shadows behind Erza.
"Erza, behind you!" Harry shouted, not sure if he was even heard. It didn't appear so since she didn't turn around. The small, powerful monster attacked from behind. Harry clenched his teeth in worry, but Erza spun around and chopped the monster in half before it could land a hit on her.
Silence filled the audience as the two halves of the monster fell to the ground. This was shortly followed by roars of astonishment and joy. Harry and his team breathed a sigh of relief. Erza had done the impossible once again.
"Erza Scarlet won! She had defeated all 100 monsters of Pandemonium!" the announcer cried out in both joy and shock. Everyone cheered, but no one was as loud as Fairy Tail. "Since all the monsters have been killed, the others can no longer partake in Pandemonium. So, instead, we'll be using a Magic Power Finder. I'm sure you all know what this does, right? Just fire off your most powerful attack and the MPF will tell us its power level," said Pumpkin.
Harry watched as everyone took a turn. Millianna, an old friend of Erza's if he remembers correctly, got a pretty good score, one she was happy with. Next was Nobarly, who didn't do so well, and Hibiki, who failed as well. Harry was surprised that the MPF even registered Hibiki's spell at all. Orga and Jura got into the thousands when they went. Jura didn't surprise Harry in the slightest; he knew the man was going to get a very high score. Voldemort, which shocked Harry that he was down there again, went next. He cast Fiendfyre at the MPF. His score was also within the thousands. Harry wondered which of them had the more powerful Fiendfyre. Last up was Cana. Harry noticed that she was wearing a coat, which confused him because she normally never wears something that covers her up. He soon understood when she took her coat off to show a tattoo that came with a very powerful spell.
Harry's jaw wasn't the only one dropping. Everyone in his guild was shocked to see that tattoo. He looked over at the Fairy Tail stand and saw that the first master, Mavis, had a gleam in her eyes. He snapped his head back toward Cana as he felt the build-up of the magic the spell needed. Cana fired off the spell known as Fairy Glitter and caused everything to shake like an earthquake had decided to throw a party. Harry and his team had to look away due to the brightness of the spell as well as to stop dirt from getting into their eyes. Once the noise had died down, Harry looked back to the arena and watched as the dust cleared to reveal the MPF to be destroyed and proudly showing off a 9999 score.
Fawkes squealed happily, {SHE BROKE IT!}
{You were waiting for one of us to break something, weren't you?} Harry asked.
{It was only a matter of time, my dear friend. Good things happen to those who wait. I waited, and she broke it.} If birds could grin insanely, Fawkes would be doing it. Harry, though, couldn't help but agree. It was only a matter of time before someone from Fairy Tail broke something. Normally it's someone from Fairy Tail Team A, not Team B. {You broke stuff too, Harry, or do you need a reminder?}
{I don't need reminding. It's just rare when I do,} he said.
{You'll break something again soon. Just you wait.} Harry hoped not. If he does, it might be Voldemort's fault and he could blame him.
'That's if I fight him any time soon,' Harry thought.
The announcer told everyone that Cana won by getting into second place, Erza being in first before he announced the first match of the day.

You know, I should have made it where Harry fought all 100 monsters, but I loved to see Erza kill that many on her own that I just couldn't change it.
Should I have the next match be normal with Millianna and Semmes? So many people probably don't remember who that is, if you don't, look him up. Or should I have it changed to Harry fighting someone because this is going to be his last chance of fighting in the games? If you pick Harry fighting, who do you want him to go up against?
Voldy: It would have been funny if they had someone from both Fairy Tail teams fight each other.
Enj/Dark: You know, I'm shocked they never did that. That's not a bad idea.
Natsu: It would be just like how it is in the guild! XD
Zeref: They most likely didn't do that because both teams are from the same guild.
Enj/Dark: Yeah, but it would also make it look fairer for the rest of the teams, as well as making it so one of the teams had a better chance of winning instead of the other.
Voldy: Are you trying to give ideas?
Enj/Dark: Wasn't that what you were doing? Oh, by the way, it's your turn.
Voldy: ...Please review…-_-
