Chapter 5 - GMT Day 2 July 2, X791

Normal POV

In the corridors of their holding rooms, one of Fairy Tail's team was walking down it. Things would appear normal, if you excluded a certain black haired Dragon Slayer who was pacing infront of them. Ever since yesterday, Gajeel had been on the edge of his seat and full of unknown energy. It even baffled his teammates. Lily didn't help either by saying, 'He's excited to see them here and so am I' so they decided to follow him out of curiosity. They didn't expect where he'd lead them to though. Gajeel finally stopped infront of a door with a crowned heart on it. As if sensing his presence, the door opened from the inside. A familiar lock of long raven hair came into sight. Her pink eyes looked up in surprise.

"Gajeel?"

"The one and only kid." The door widened further.

"Hey Yu, who's at the- Oh ho~" Raze immediately glomped Gajeel around his neck, "Nice to see you again rust bucket!" Gajeel returned the action.

"Likewise you airhead." The two entered the room arm in arm.

"Guys, look who's here!"

"We heard you at the door." Sedna snapped back. Through out their training together, Gajeel still had the guts to conveniently forget her name at times just to spite her. This, of course earned him a solid whack. Al snickered.

"You were so pathetically sore on our last day I wasn't sure you'd show up." The Metal Dragon Slayer jerked a thumb to his chest.

"Something like that isn't going to hold me down." Al shook his head with whimsical grin.

"But in the end, you still couldn't even beat Mona. And she's the weakest here."

"HEY!" She yelled back and Raze added on.

"It's true though but don't worry, you're still stronger than rust bucket." Lily flew into the room just in time to catch part of the conversation and landed on a table.

"You're all tough adversaries so be proud of your strength." Even with his supportive words, she huffed with her arms crossed.

"Remind me to leave him stranded on a snowy mountain with a raging blizzard when I get the chance." Al waved away the empty threat.

"We know you won't do it."

"Don't tempt me."

"Sorry but are we interrupting something?" Gajeel's teammate finally caught up to him and they stood at the door. Dio quickly called out to them.

"Not at all. Come on in." The four of them entered the room, each of them with a different reaction. The Lightning Dragon Slayer's eyes fell on the thread mage.

"Hey you're the kid from Hidden." Yu looked at him in mild interest.

"And you are?"

"Laxus Dreyar."

"Yuveria Weiszerman, nice to meet you."

"Saa~ So this is how everybody looks like ." Mirajane's eyes scanned the group and her eyes paused at Raze. He was staring in their direction with neutral expression. After a second or two, she approached him.

"Hmm… are you by any chance a model?" He looked at her in mild surprise but mainly confusion.

"No…why'd you ask?"

"Oh it's nothing really, I'm was just mistaken." Sedna propped an arm on raze's shoulder.

"Don't worry, you aren't the first to think pretty boy here is one." After getting acquainted with one another, the groups fell into minor chats with each side. Though the main topic turned out to be how Arcana Legacy met Gajeel. They retold the tale without leaving out any details and of course, laughter and teases were made at the expense of the Metal Dragon Slayer much to his dismay.

"Juvia's been wondering but where did your Guild name come from?" A wave of faint nostalgia flickered through their eyes at the memory. After all, they were all there when the Guild was formed. Dio started explaining.

"There isn't really a meaning behind it but 'Arcana' came from our Master's interest in our guild mate's keys and 'Legacy' was because Master wanted us to leave our own tales where ever we went. Like imprints of our actions and ideals. Ones that we won't regret and can be proud of so that we will be remembered by those we've met." Cana hummed in approval.

"Sound like you have a nice Guild Master." Sedna stretched her arms above her head.

"Yeah. Sure Master has some quirks but, we wouldn't want anyone else." Before anyone else could say anything, the intercom switched on.

"Participants, please make your way to the arena. The Games will be starting in 10 minutes. I repeat, the Games will be starting in 10 minutes. That is all." The Myth donned their cloaks and all of them excluding Yu and Dio pulled up their hoods since their faces have yet to be shown to the public. Bidding each team good luck and no hard feelings, they departed to the field.

The Hidden game for the second day was Chariot and just like the name suggested, it involved moving. The race was being broadcasted to the audience through Lacrima-vision and their guest of the day was Jason, a Weekly Sorcerer Reporter.

"At any rate Yajima-san…with this kind of competition, who is being anticipated?" Yajima hummed in thought.

"Somehow trailing at the back, far, far from the lead Fairy Tail A's Natsu is in a groggy state and that's not all! Right next to him, Fairy Tail B's Gajeel and even Sabertooth's Sting are in the same condition! What in the world is going on Yajima-san?"

"The three of them seem to have something in common." Together with the front group, Raze snickered to himself knowingly, 'All Dragon Slayers are the same. Those 'almighty' mages can't do a thing on any transportation. Amuses me every time.' A thought entered his mind, 'I wonder if I can use it against them. Maybe with a dizzy ray gun or I could make the floor move like conveyor belt. But the problem is how should I use it…" Raze fell deep in thought and musings. Unknown to him, more and more contestants were gradually passing him. Back at Domus Flau, more whispers and chatters were heard from the female population than usual.

"Hey who's that guy?" A brunette giggled.

"I don't know but he's really cute."

"Didn't they say his name is Ra…Raz…"

"I remember, he's Razen Oxford."

"Yeah that's right! He's total eye candy." A blonde spoke with stars in her eyes.

"*sigh* I think I'm in love~" Another said dreamily. Half of the male population groaned at their gushing and swooning. Yes, you're not mistaken. Razen Oxford, was steadily gaining a fan club.

"It's a dead heat here! In the lead is Raven Tail's Kurohebi and behind him is Blue Pegasus' Ichiya, Masquerade's Melodia on all fours in her takeover form, Lamia Scale's Yuka and Mermaid Heel's Risley. Somewhat further behind is Quarto Cerberus' reserve member Bacchus followed by Arcana Legacy's Razen Oxford who's been dropping places. Is his stamina running out?"

None of the commentator's words registered in Raze's preoccupied mind. He was brought out of his thought only when the chariot suddenly jerked and the whole platform tilted.

"Woah what's going on?!" From his high position, he the saw all the other platforms being affected as well because one of the platform was forcefully smashed into the ground. Realization struck him when his vision focused on the mass of mages way in front of him. He lost focus and lagged behind…again. One was even speeding ahead like nothing happened! He pumped magic towards his feet, "Fantasy Make: Flash Step!" Two pairs of long, slim translucent wings appeared at his ankles. In a swift movement, he bent his knees and his body surged forward. His steps were so quick it looked as if he was a speeding through the air without any wind resistance and the sound of each footstep was only heard one delayed second later. Large distances were easily covered in the matter of a few steps and the other contestant quickly came into view. They crossed the finish line one after the other but he was determined to do at least one thing. Flames lit up in his eyes, 'THERE'S NO WAY AM I GOING TO FINISH BEHIND THAT PERFUME PERVERT!'. In a blur of motion, Raze managed to cross the goal one full leap ahead of Ichiya coming in 6th. That, concluded the of Day 2's Hidden.

The contestants were given a short break before the Battle began. The first battle was between Lamia Scale's Toby Horhorta and Masquerade's Melodia Tigafrost. 15 in age and 5 feet 7 in height, Melodia's golden wavy waist length hair was tied up into a side ponytail. Her white mask covered over eyes till the cheekbones of her heart-shaped face. Two long straight fang-like extrusions extended down from the outer edges of her eyes to her chin where it curve slightly. Three bronze lines decorated each side of her mask like whiskers and two bronze strips were painted from her eyebrows down along the bridge of her nose. The strips gradually got thinner towards the end but it didn't touch the edge of her mask. Her fairly toned hourglass figure had a creamy tan and she was wearing a long pebbly blueish-white blouse with white stars spilling from the top left, a pair of black pants and dark blue flats. Around her neck was an obsidian star-shaped necklace with a G clef etched on it. Her guitar that she brought with her was placed at the edge of the field. Toby was fidgeting about as he tried to get a better look at her from where he stood.

"What are you looking at." She snapped at him an icy cold voice.

"I'm so curious! I want to see how you look like under that mask! Ooooooo let's make a bet!" He suddenly declared, "If I win, you'll take of your mask. If you win, I'll tell you my secret!" His opponent sighed.

"Whatever." A loud 'Gong' vibrated through the air.

"Let's begin the first match!" Without missing a beat, Toby lunged at Mel. Using his sharp long green nails, he rapidly slashed at her. The masked girl dodged each of his strikes carefully. She didn't like the smell of his nails, it reeked of danger. That and his nails were oddly green. Too green and she didn't smell any nail polish on them.

"Toby's going hard on the offensive without giving Melodia time to attack. She's doing a good job dodging his attacks but it only be a matter of time before she gets hit if this keeps up. How is she going to turn this around?" Ignoring his voice, Toby continued to swipe at her in frenzy while Mel took her time to observe him. His attacks were certainly quick but after awhile, it was clear to her that he'd been randomly and blindly trying to slash her. There were more than a few times where his attacks totally missed. Taking a few leaps back, she decided it was time for her to attack.

"Tiger Soul: Earth!" Keeping her transformation to half-tiger form, tan fur with black stripes started appearing at her lower arms and her nails sharpened into claws. A tail, a pair of ears, long whiskers and sharp fangs grew out from her body. She easily jumped to the side as Toby's nails struck where she had been standing just a few seconds ago. He launched another attack at the half-tiger girl and this time instead of dodging, she grab his arm and threw him a fair distance away thanks to her takeover's strength. He tumbled upon landing and hastily got up with a flip and his arms were stretched out infront of him. Beneath her mask, a glint appeared in her bronze cat-like eyes at his poorly stable form.

"Adamina Quake!" Slamming her palms on the ground, the earth trembled beneath their feet. Toby lost his balance and Mel took this chance to combo, "Adana Wall! Maia Crash!" A solid wall of rock rapidly rose from the ground and slammed into his mid section like a mach punch. The attack sent him flying up in the air where he couldn't escape. Chunks of earth rose up from the ground and with a clutching motion, the projectiles shot toward Toby's helpless form. He tried to destroy the first with his nails but the force behind it was enough to break through and slam into his face. The rest followed suit and slammed against different parts of his body. His battered body fell motionlessly onto the ground and there was silence. Mel wasn't worried at all though. Her ears picked up Toby's pained breathing. As she waited for her victory verdict, her eyes happened to rest on Toby's teammates. Two of them were staring at him in worry while the others were staring at her. On a whim, she turned to face them. With a finger pointed at her ear, she twitched them and gave them a nod. She wasn't sure if they got the message but her sharp feline eyes saw their eyes widen for a moment before returning her nod. They didn't feel as hostile as before, though only by a bit.

"And there you have it! With a fast and clean swoop, the first match ends with Melodia turning the battle around in a matter of moves and swept victory from beneath her opponent's feet! What are your thoughts Yajima-san?"

"It's an excellent show of attack combination."

"That tiger is so cooooooooollll!" Mel walked over to her prone opponent to see he was conscious the entire time.

"So?" She inquired. It wasn't like she cared what it was but a bet's a bet.

"My socks…"

"Huh?" She wasn't sure if she heard right. He looked like he was on the verge of tears.

"My socks…I…can't find one of them. Even though I've been looking for the past 3 months." Tear were pouring down from his eyes like a broken dam, "Why can't I find it…I *sniff* couldn't tell anyone." Normally she probably would have pitied him but for something like this? Mel stared at him with a deadpanned expression. Crossing her arms, she raised one arm and casually licked her half-furry paw.

"Are you an idiot? It's hanging around your neck." Her sharp unflinching words caused his body to jerk and suddenly gain energy to move. He sat up with a wide smile and gazed at his 'long lost' sock in his hands.

"It was in a place like this?!"

"EH?!" The crowd exclaimed in disbelief.

"You're such a good guy…oon…I finally found it…" Toby suddenly got up to give her a hug but it only made her step back and immediately cast 4 Adana Walls to trap him in place and safely out of reach. Both Mages left the field and the next battle started shortly. The second battle was between the current point leader and newly registered Guild, Raven Tail's Kurohebi and another new Guild, Arcana Legacy's Sedna Croix. Sedna passed her cloak to Yu before entering the arena with her opponent. The blonde received a couple of wolf whistles from the crowd but she blatantly ignored them. In fact, she found it a tad irritating. How Raze puts up with this all the time remains mystery to her. A loud 'Gong' resounded through the air signalling the start of the match. When the go sign was given, everyone watched on expectantly but neither combatant moved an inch from their spot. The paper mage propped an arm on her hip.

"Just to make things clear, I'm not going to bet anything." Her opponent didn't care either.

"Fine by me." The two of them continued staring at each other intensely. It was so silent they could hear a coin drop.

"Well it appears that we'll be having a change of pace this round. But please be reminded that there is a time limit." From one of the viewing stands, the blonde Dragon Slayer from Sabertooth snickered.

"What are they doing standing around like that."

"It's called sizing your opponent."

"I know what it's called but the match's not going anywhere like this."

"Why? Are you interested in their fight?" His partner questioned him with mild interest which he shrugged to.

"Just thought I'd see what all the buzz about the new Guild's about." Rufus tapped his temple.

"Ah that's right, I remember you sleeping through yesterday's battles." Sting's Exceed crossed his arms in pride.

"I don't think it'll matter to us. We're too strong for them."

"Fro thinks so too. We won't lose."

"They're starting." Orga brought their attention back to the match. Kuroheibi was walking slowly to his opponent. Seeing this, Sedna prepared a stack of hidden sharpened paper in each of her light pink sleeves and her green eyes sharpened in focus. He casually walked to the centre of the field where he broke into a dash. He swung at her with quick accurate strikes but she dodged them with minimal movement by gracefully shifting her body accordingly. Kurohebi's body suddenly bent down and his leg rose to deliver a roundhouse kick. She created a shield of reinforced paper that effectively blocked his kick but her legs were swept under her with his other free leg. Having lost her footing, Sedna spun her body and delivered a torrent of razor sharp papers right in his face. His body immediately turned to sand and her papers stabbed the ground in the distance. A few drops of blood stained the ground before her. Green eyes scanned the field and was met with nothing but sand. 'A Sand Mage? No, it feels different.', she wondered, 'This will be troublesome…'. She stepped forward with a mumble.

"Scatter." At the command, an endless supply of paper poured out of her sleeves. It didn't stop until the entire surface of the field was painted white. Keeping a calm mind, she stood at the centre with several pieces of paper hovering around her hands. Feeling movement behind her, she turned around and sent a paper flying. Her opponent avoided it in mid run and swung a fist at her. She dodge it but before she could land a hit, his body turned to sand once again. This continued on and his attacks were getting increasingly faster and harder for Sedna to dodge. By the fifth time, she had enough of this. Kurohebi appeared again and managed to cut a few strands of her blonde hair but before he could high tail it to safety, Sedna compressed the papers together to form a very, very hard surface. Her opponent ended up slamming against it with a loud and painful 'THUD' and she extended her palm out. Multiple sheets of razor sharp paper shot up from the ground around him and slashed his body. However, she noticed the sand around her a second too late. He grinned.

"Sand Rebellion." The sand burst into a fierce explosion strong enough to send shockwaves through the arena. The force of the attack blew away the papers near her and caused the sand beneath it to loosen in a big puff. Kurohebi stood up and wiped the blood from his cheek. His grin ever present on his face. It took some time for the commentator to gather his voice.

"T-That was one devastating attack by Raven Tail's Kurohebi. Using his attacks as a cover, he was actually bringing the sand above the his opponent's paper field. Question now is, after being caught off guard, is she still standing?" The loose sand particles gradually thinned out and his grin dropped. In the midst on that explosion was a huge sphere or paper. It fell apart in sections to reveal a roughed up Mage. Sedna was still standing. His expression fell further into a frown. Sand suddenly erupted from below and swirled around the field in a sandstorm. The Paper Mage brought her sleeve to cover her nose as she looked at the storm in distaste.

"Tell me," His voice whispered to her as his body became one with the sand, "A woman's body is important to them isn't it?" She raised an eyebrow at his question. "Because suddenly, I feel like destroying your's!" At his words, the sand swirled around her violent in a flurry of slashes, ripping her clothes and cutting her skin. The grains scratched against her entire body in fury. Her legs, arms and neck, there wasn't one place that didn't sting. By the end of the onslaught, her sleeves were limply dangling around her arms, the rest of her clothes had rips and fresh cuts decorated her body. In forceful movements, she cleanly ripped off her sleeves and threw them aside. Flames burned in her eyes, 'Two can play at this game.' She was very, very pissed off and fed up by his cowardly hit-and-run tactics. A dense and alarming amount of Magic surrounded Sedna.

"Philyra's Domain." Paper scattered all over the field shot the sky with a light blue glow and a dome of dark blue engulfed the entire field and its combatants in the matter of a few short seconds. The sandstorm suddenly stopped and fell inanimately back to the ground. Every onlooker, save Arcana Legacy, were at the edge of their seats. Nothing could be seen or heard from the outside which only increased their curiosity even more.

"Well folks, I not quite sure what just happened but Arcana Legacy's Sedna seems to have pull out quite a move. Though we can't see what's going on, I have a feeling we'll be in for more waiting." True enough, the dome remained standing but the tension in the air never faded. Short seconds felt like minutes and the timer counted to the last minute. When the dome finally dissipated, they were left speechless. Kurohebi laid unconscious on the ground with many cuts and a couple of bruises on his body. Sedna on the other hand, fared fairly worse off than before. Her bangs casted shadows over eyes and her hair was messy but she was still standing. This match, was over.

The crowd roared at the heated battles on the field. Attacks were exchanged along with cheers and jeers from all sides, unaware of what's going on around them/under their noses. Ever wondered what happened to Mona? Well, she definitely wasn't waiting at the back while the rest of her team fought. Nope, they can manage well enough without her around. Stone bricks lined the walls of the spacious corridors within Domus Flau. The secret operation team was split up in groups.

Sai and his exceed, Kayla went to infiltrate the Castle walls while Zayne and Neaki stayed seated to overlook the stands. Iona and Drew were searching the capital and Mona was scouring the interiors of Domus Flau with Louise. The Archive mage had a panel infront of him displaying the layout the entire arena. On it, different areas were labelled and marked with icons. The duo's been sneaking into all the waiting rooms, checking for anything out of the ordinary. Being extra carefully they didn't leave behind any traces, Louise planted a bug at a concealed, hard to spot area of the each room before leaving. They were finished with the last of them and were about to round the corner when they heard hushed whispering. Pressing their backs against the wall, they peered around the corner. Four shady guys in dark hooded overalls and masks closed the door behind them. But what caught their attention was what they had in their arms. An unconscious girl with long navy blue hair was draped over one's shoulder, an older woman in the same fashion and another had a white cat in his arms. Louise glanced down at his panel checked that they were coming out of the infirmary. He dismissed the panel. The kidnappers fled down the hallway away from them in a hurry. Louise and Mona nodded to each other and quietly followed after them. He picked up speed ahead of Mona as light was seen further ahead. The four infront heard his footsteps approaching and look back in surprise.

"Shit!"

"Make a run for it!" Louise materialised a black, sleek sabre with irregular yellow lines running across it with his Magic. One of the four broke off and faced him with a pistol in each hand. He disarmed the safety trigger. He aimed his guns at the swordsman and shot at him repeatedly. Each shot missed its target as he dodged from side to side with ease. His stared forward in focus, 'Slow.' In reach of the gunner, he slammed the blunt edge of his blade on his wrists. The gun fell to the ground in 'Clangs' and Louise proceed to deliver a hard jab at the back his neck with the bunt of his sabre. The hooded figure was knocked out and his companions freaked out. They panicked on whether they should leave everyone but the girl behind as they ran. This naturally caused his ear to perk up at their given request. Magic circles suddenly appeared at their feet.

"Snow Fist!" Three huge hands made of snow rose to trap them in their chilling iron grip.

"What is this?!"

"I can't break free!"

"We're doomed!" Cold steel pressed against one of their neck and he could only gulp in fear. The duo now stood infront them. Mona tried to sound calm but her eyes betrayed her. A dark look flashed across her eyes.

"Hand them over." They didn't move but a little squeeze convinced them otherwise. With shaky arms they passed them to her one by one.

"Who's behind this?" They refused to talk. Louise pressed his blade harder against his neck and blood started to trickle down his skin.

"R-Raven Tail!" Mona's eyebrows rose at the news and Louise pressed further.

"What for?"

"W-We don't know." The cut was slowly but gradually getting bigger, "We really don't know! All they said was to bring the girl that was in the sick bay!" The duo stared at them but found no hints of a lie in their words. With a sigh, Louise relaxed and released his sword. Together with Mona, they decided to carry them back. Placing the Exceed on the girl, he knelt down and gently carried her bridal style. Mona did the same with the older lady. He felt small movements in his arms and looked down to a pair of half opened, unfocused brown eyes.

"Are you okay?" Her blurred gaze met his and her mouth widened a fraction.

"Stop right there!" The duo's heads snapped to see a rapidly speeding figure with pink hair, "Where are you guys taking Wendy and the others?!" His feet skidded to a stop infront of them.

"Who, are you?" The Snow Mage questioned.

"I'm Natsu, her guildmate! You better give her back! You mess with us, you mess with Fairy Tail!" Natsu was breathing fire just inches away from the Archive Mage's face. Louise looked at the pink head's Guildmark and sure enough, it was the same as the girl's. He was about to say something when the sound of approaching footsteps clad in steel set off the alarms in their heads. The guards must have heard the gunshots earlier. They mustn't get caught, not this early. In a hurry, he uttered a small apology as he carefully tossed the girl and the Exceed to him and the old lady was propped against the side of the path. While Natsu was busy catching her, they bolted.

Oh man they were almost caught. XP The rest of the next few chapters will be in roughly the same manner. I've finished arranging the battles and who will be going out for the whole tournament so that's one issue solved. Hmm somehow, I feel that my story is a bit TOO canon for my liking. :/ What do you guys think? It'll be some time before the next chapter comes up because I'll be busy with a project and I figured it's time I updated my Digimon Fic.

Question: Do you guys prefer a detailed, long match like Sedna's or a short one like Melodia's?
