Sorry for not updating yesterday, It was kind of an off day. I was trying to learn how to dance. A lot harder than one may think. I'm thinking of starting another fanfic, where I'll rewrite the Alvarez Arc. I know a lot of people were disappointed with that one, including myself. So maybe I'll start that soon? Writing will be slow today, I'm not motivated right now. I need some good Lucy-centric fanfics, guys, anyone? Now let's start.

"Wake up everyone! Time for round one!" Lucy yelled to the sleeping mages.

"...What? I thought that was yesterday.." Serenity said groggily.

"Nope! Those were the prelims!" Lucy said cheerfully.

"Well, I'm ready. You guys are lazy." Axel stepped out of the bathroom.

"Lazy. Anyway, everyone needs to get up and get dressed, we'll have breakfast at the restaurant nearby." Lucy said. One by one, they all picked themselves up and got dressed. Finally everyone was ready, as Lucy practically dragged them all out the door. After about two minutes of walking, they stopped at the nearest breakfast place. The group sat down at one huge table, laughing and telling jokes. Lucy was having a great time. Making her new guild was one of the best decisions in her life, along with those of running away from home and joining Fairy Tail. She wondered how things were there. Did they miss her? Probably. Were they mad at her? Again, probably. She had seen news stories about Fairy Tail wrecking places while on jobs. Lucy decided not to reminisce in her old memories, and embrace the new.

"Ok! So, the first round is simply a series of random battles. There are four pairs left, and last night I randomly chose the pair battles. The first battle today will be Haley and Axel against Luna and Mercia, enter the stadium please." Lucy announced.

Axel and Haley walked in, although they appeared to be calm, Lucy could tell they were nervous. Luna and Mercia walked in next, and while Luna was calm, Mercia was not.

"3...2...1... Battle Start!" Lucy yelled.

"Takeover! Dragon Soul: Storm!" Luna kicked off the battle by transforming. She gained yellow scales, wings, and tail. She had lightning sparking all over her body, and it was clear that this was a lightning dragon. Haley smirked knowingly, as she had lightning-make magic, making her resistant to that sort of thing. So, Luna raced after Axel, extending a claw towards him. Mercia ran towards Haley, as a sword garnished with roses and thorns sprouted from her hands. Haley's lightning-make sword appeared out of her hands, and the two engaged in a swordfight.

Axel dodged Luna's claw, glancing over at Haley's battle. Mercia and Luna had separated the two; knowing that they were a lot stronger together. Axel raced towards Haley, but Luna appeared right in front of him, shooting a bolt of lightning at Axel. Taken off guard, it hit him square in the stomach. Axel fell backwards, laying on the ground. He used this to his advantage, as his fire tunneled through the ground towards Mercia. He saw Luna coming towards him again and picked himself up off the ground. If he couldn't get to Haley, Haley would have to get to him.

Mercia and Haley were evenly matched, the tides turning occasionally. Haley was slowly moving towards Axel, without Mercia noticing. She smiled when she saw a little flame come from the ground in front of Mercia. The flame jumped up onto Mercia's sword, incinerating the roses and thorns, turning it into a plain metal sword. Now, Haley had the advantage, because metal conducts electricity. Mercia dropped her sword, and Haley used this time to race over to Axel and Luna.

"Lightning-Make: Double edged-sword!" Haley shouted, as a sword of lightning appeared in her hand, pointed at both sides. She hurled it at Luna, but then tripped over one of Mercia's roses.

"Gotcha." Mercia said, as her roses pinned Haley to the ground, thorns sticking out. Mercia dashed into the battle with Axel.

"Fire-Make: Prison!" Axel yelled, as a small prison surrounded Mercia and Luna. Axel ran over to Haley and burned the roses off. Haley and Axel stood up side by side.

"Unison Raid!" They yelled, joining hands. Above Luna and Mercia, A thunder cloud appeared, striking them with lightning, and from below, flames roared to life. Once the flames and lightning cleared, Luna and Mercia were knocked out.

"Battle is over! Axel and Haley win, however Luna will be moving onto the next round as well. Mercia has been eliminated. The next battle is Serenity and Ruby against Lilith and Piper, but first, bring Luna and Mercia to the infirmary. Serenity, Ruby, Lilith, and Piper please make your way to the stadium."

"Lucy!" Serenity shouted.

"What is it?" Lucy asked.

"I'm nervous. I don't want to battle Lilith and Piper, I'm afraid to lose."

"It's ok, Serenity. Losing or winning doesn't matter, I don't care about that. It's about your skill and magic, not if you win or lose. You'll be fine,"

Serenity smiled and walked away to the stadium.

"Ok! Second battle, Lilith and Piper against Ruby and Serenity."

"Good luck, Lilith, Piper!" Serenity smiled.

"Yes, you too!" Piper replied.

"3...2...1...begin!"

Off the bat, Serenity began. "I channel the path of Neptune! Poseidon's power, flow onto me!" a blue glow surrounded Serenity.

"Hell's fire!" Ruby chanted, as a red glow surrounded her.

"Battle of elements, huh?" Lilith said, with a black glow surrounding her.

"I guess so." Piper replied, glowing white.

"Not just elements." Ruby said, grinning. "Cerberus!" Ruby pressed her palm into the ground as a large magic circle formed. There was a flash of bright light, and then a huge three-headed dog appeared, running towards Lilith and Piper.

"Set-up, Serenity!" Ruby yelled, as Piper and Lilith were busy dodging the huge dog's attacks.

"Right!" Serenity yelled back, kneeling down with her hands together, concentrating intensely. Ruby stepped in front of Serenity. She noticed that Piper and Lilith had seemingly just defeated Cerberus, as the ran full speed towards her. Ruby inhaled and then exhaled fire from her mouth, spreading it around the ground in front of her, creating a wall of fire. Her distraction only lasted a few seconds before Lilith and Piper broke through, but it was enough.

"Now!" Ruby said as Lilith and Piper charged towards her.

"Meteor Shower!" Serenity said, as small meteors began raining down on Lilith and Piper, creating a cloud of dust as they hit. After the dust cleared, Piper and Lilith were shown to be knocked out.

"Serenity and Ruby win! Serenity and Ruby will be moving on. Lilith and Piper are eliminated, please bring them to the infirmary." Lucy said.

"The mages that will move on are Serenity, Ruby, Axel, Haley, and Luna." Lucy announced.

"The first round of the S-class exams is over!"

This is my first time writing a fight scene, sorry if it sucks. Anyway, cya next time!
