Second Magic Game: Lighting Tag
"CHEERS!" All of Fairy Tail raised their cups together.
"We survived the first day of the Magic Games!" Macao smiled.
"If we keep this up, we'll be able to win the whole damn game!" Wakaba believed.
"Let's not get cocky everyone, there are still the other guilds we need to watch out for." Wolverine pointed out.
"Like that Twilight Ogre Guild, those guys must be really mad for getting their asses kicked." Squirrel Girl mentioned.
"But we're stronger now, even with that Ginger girl they won't stand a chance." Max said.
"Actually, there is one Guild we should be on the lookout the most." Wolverine mentioned getting Macao's attention.
"Which Guild would that be?" Macao asked.
"The Brotherhood Guild, I'm getting a really bad feeling about them and I don't like it." Wolverine looked down at his drink for a moment before drinking the beer.
"Yeah, those guys just give me the shivers like my Squirrel instinct is telling they're danger and keep away." Squirrel Girl said.
"Even I think they're bad news like in the last fighting match of the day when one of them went up against Ren from Blue Pegasus." Jet said, still remembering that fight.
(Flashback)
"And the last fight of the day is Ren Akatsuki from Blue Pegasus vs Pietro Maximoff AKA Quicksilver from the Brotherhood Guild." Chapati announced.
"I'll this guy away with my handsome wind." Ren grinned.
Quicksilver make his way to the arena as he removes the cloak revealing himself to be a young man with mid-size muscles, silver hair and blue eyes. He wears a full-body suit of blue and silver color with white gloves and boots.
"Let see what you got, chump." Quicksilver smirked.
"You know, I never about your Guild until now. Are you guys new or something?" Ren asked curious.
"You could say that, but I'm sorry you'll be crying to your mommy when this match is over in five seconds flat." Quicksilver proclaimed.
"Oh, a wise guy, huh? Well, let see how you'll withstand wind." Ren prepared in his fighting stance.
"It's quite odd, this Brotherhood is unknown as we couldn't find any records of them." Yajima mentioned.
"Maybe they're an independent kind of Guild." Mikey guessed.
"Even if they were like that, we would at least still hear a few rumors about them." Yajima stated.
"I guess all we can do is watch this match and see how strong the Brotherhood's wizards are." Chapati suggested.
"Well then, Match Begin!" Yajima declared.
"Take this!" Ren shouted as he was about to perform one of his wind spells.
But before he could even make a move or shout out a single word, Ren got punched right in the gut by Quicksilver in an instant.
"One…" Quicksilver said before running past him and made a sharp U-turn back.
"Two…" He punched Ren in the back of his head.
"Three…" Elbowed Ren on his right side.
"Four…" Ren got kicked across the face.
"Five." Quicksilver ended this by blitz toward the arena wall and back punch Ren so much that he got sent flying crashing into a wall.
Most of the crowd along with most of the wizard guilds were shocked that the match ended in five seconds just like Quicksilver said it would while the silver blur speedster himself smile sinisterly and look at the crowd.
"Sorry about that, was I going too fast for you. Maybe I'll try to slow down next time." Quicksilver joked before he ran back to his group with his superspeed.
"Whoa, that must've been some crazy, blazing speed he did right at the start of the match!" Mikey shocked.
"Indeed, now I'm starting to see why he calls himself Quicksilver because the match ended very quickly." Yajima nodded, also shock of this.
"Well, with Ren down the match goes to Quicksilver of The Brotherhood!" Chapati announced as most of the crowd cheers for the unknown fighter.
"No way, that WAY beyond even my speed!" Jet gasped with his jaws drop.
"Then it's a god thing you're not in the game." Droy gulped.
"I wonder what everyone else in the Brotherhood is like and how strong they are?" Romeo asked.
Wolverine didn't say anything he stares at the Brotherhood Guild booth where he sees Quicksilver sitting on the edge like a careless kid and he is staring back at him with a smirk.
(Flashback End)
"Those guys are up to something and it's not about the Grand Magic Games; I can feel it in my metal bones." Wolverine proclaimed.
"Do you think they could be involve in that black magic Jellal warned us about?" Max asked.
"I don't know about that, but I can definitely tell they're bad news. Whoever those guys are, they won't be messing around for the entire game, we have to be ready for whatever shit they can throw at us and throw it right back at them with a bit our own." Wolverine stated.
"Let's not forget about the other Guilds we have to be on the lookout for, I'm interested to see how good they are when they go up against me." She-Hulk excited and drinks a cup of beer.
"Hey, is it really okay for you to be drinking that much alcohol when you're pregnant?" Kianna asked worry for the baby inside of her big green friend.
"I wouldn't worry about that; I never get drunk when drinking more of these than an ordinary person should, and my body is still fine. Though I think I should lay off drinking alcohol for a while, probably after the baby is born." She-Hulk said as she rubs her stomach.
"Well, I think it's time we get some sleep for the second day." Macao suggested.
"Couldn't agree with you more, we all need some sleep if we want to see our five wizards survive another day in the game." Wakaba agreed.
Soon, everyone said their goodnight and the five Fairy Tail wizards are sleeping in their own rooms in a hotel they rented for the games' event though Wolverine is the only one still up thinking the danger from Jellal's warning as he and the others haven't been able to sense any dark magic today. He knows that it's out there somewhere around the capital probably hiding from the shadows, hopefully he'll find it before something bad happens.
Just as he was about to go to bed, his nose picked up a strange yet familiar scent, and he immediately recognize it anywhere.
"Sabretooth!" Wolverine growled and flip himself over to the rooftop and unsheathe his claws.
He looks around trying to see if he can spot Sabretooth as his nose is telling him that the bastard is close by, he follow the scent jumping on three rooftops until he stops and saw a folded up piece of paper stabbed on a chimney by a knife. Wolverine pull the knife out and took the paper seeing a note inside and a blood stain spot on the bottom right corner, he sniffs the blood growls as he knows this belongs to Sabretooth as he reads the letter.
"Glad to see you're getting your magic touch back. Let see how that will help in this game, and better make sure no dies before the end of the game."
Wolverine growls again and crush the paper then throws it away, he knew Sabretooth led him out here on purpose just to find that stupid letter.
"I don't know what your game is, Sabretooth, but I'll be sure to kill you this time." Wolverine declared before heading back to the hotel and sleeping with his lovers.
(Morning)
"Hello everyone and welcome to the second day of the Grand Magic Games. Here we have a special guest host for today: the famous chief we all know and love, Sir Remy!" Chapati introduced the special guest host of today.
Remy is a man in his middle thirties with bluish-gray hair, brown eyes, and cute buck teeth. He wears the pure white outfit of a chief complete with the Head Chief hat.
"Hello everyone, it's great to be here today! I've always love watching these games every year because of all the magic exploding in one place and sometimes they gave me the inspiration to cook something new!" Remy said happily.
"I'm happy to hear that, I hope we can share recipes together after this." Yajima offered.
"Oh, I would love that." Remy nodded.
"Okay, now let's get on with the second contest of today which we like to call Lightning Tag!" Chapati announced as the crowd cheers in excitement.
"Hmm, from the name I can tell that it must be shocking." Eve from Blue Pegasus punned.
Even is a young man with sharper facial features and narrower dark green eyes. He has blonde hair kept in a neat bowl cut, with a few wayward strands covering his forehead, and others jutting upwards on top of his head. He wears a short-sleeved shirt left untucked over navy blue suit pants complementing the tie around his neck, covered in white and blue diagonal stripes, and brown leather shoes.
"This should be interesting." A drunken man said as he listens in, or at least tries to.
"Here how this game will go: each player will be standing in different spots at the start of the game. About a hundred feet above us are a few dozen lightning lacrimas ready to shoot lightning bolts down. The goal is to dodge as many lightning bolts as you can, when you're hit by a lightning bolt you're not and the last one standing wins." Chapati explained the rules of today's contest.
"The time limit is 20 minutes, any more than one person still standing will be declared a tie. Also attacking each other is forbidden, it's all about evasion and you can't block them either." Yajima added.
"And let see who will be participating in the game!" Remy excited.
"Here is Eve from Blue Pegasus!" Chapati announced.
"Let give this our all!" Eve smiled.
"Yuka from Lamia Scale!"
"For the honor of my guild, I shall not fail!" Yuka promised.
"From Mermaid Heels, Kagura."
Kagura jus stood there silent with strong determination in her eyes.
"Sting Eucliffe of Sabretooth!"
"Let's show these idiots what I'm made of!" Sting smirked.
Sting is a slim, yet muscular, toned young man of average height with spiky blond hair, which is kept in strands jutting outwards in every direction, and a smaller, frontal cowlick (or tuft) of hair partially hanging over his forehead. He has slanted, slit pupiled, dark blue eyes; above the right one is a thin, diagonal scar. Sting's left ear is adorned with an earring which, in itself, is attached to by a prominent metal pendant that is crystalline in shape. His white Sabertooth mark is located on his left shoulder. He wears a blue vest with golden outer edges and inner edges covered by a prominent trimming of gray fur that appears similar to a feather boa over a short, cream top, leaving his muscular upper abdominals exposed. His arms are covered by dark blue gloves reaching up to his mid-bicep, with their upper edges being adorned by light gray bands hanging down several centimeters. He wears loose, cream-colored pants held by suspenders, which attach to the pant loops by square-shaped rings that are gold in color. Over them, he dons distinctive dark blue galosh-Esque footwear that reaches up to his thighs and attach to the upper edge of his pants. The prominent soles of the "boots" are distinctive in their own right; it has rectangular protrusions pointing upwards on their front portion, reminiscent of square fangs.
"Go get them, Sting!" Lector cheered.
"Warcy from Quatro Cerberus."
"AAAAAAHHHH?!" Warcry screamed literally crying with waterfall of tears.
"That guy sure has issues." Wolverine commented.
"Fairy Tail, the new and dangerous member, Wolverine."
"Uh, that sounds about right." Wolverine smirked.
"From Twilight Ogre, Shade."
"Hopefully, I can better here." Shade said, the guy with the hoodie over his head and wearing a green shirt with a turtleneck.
"Running for the Brotherhood, here we have Quicksilver!"
"Those little sparks won't even touch me." Quicksilver bragged.
"Okay, all the players have been assembled. Now it's time for the lightning tag to begin!" Chapati declared with a loud foghorn sound.
The players look up at the lacrima waiting for the lightning bolt to come, ten seconds later one of the lacrimas spark of electric aura and shot a lightning bolt down almost hitting Warcy as he manages to dodge it.
"AAAAHHH?! That was scary!" Warcry shouted.
"Better be careful, lightning travels very fast so you need to have very fast reflexes to avoid." Chapati warned.
Then more of the lightning lacrimas shot their bolts down as the players did their best to dodge them without getting zap and out of the game too early: Eve use his snow magic to make the ground a little slippery, Sting dodges the bolt easily as his speed seem to be well-trained, Yuka is running around zig-zag style and such while feeling this challenge would be difficult without his anti-magic shield, Kagura is dodging them good as well using her gravity magic to make herself lighter, Shade seems to be doing well as he teleports from one spot to the next, Quicksilver is just yawning and dodging the bolts like it's no big deal, Warcry just kept dodging and dodging while crying at the same time.
Wolverine is dodging the lightning bolts with great flexes and reaction time and ran past Quicksilver as his nose sudden sniff his scent.
"Huh, odd… that guy had the scent of Sabretooth, but only a tiny faint one." Wolverine whispered himself and quickly dodge a bolt that almost hit him.
"My, look who how everyone is doing avoiding the lightning bolts, it must be hard for some of them to dodge as they aren't special with speed." Chapati commented.
"You know, this reminds of the time when I was out on the countryside with my brother Emile with a storm." Remy recalled that day.
"Really, were you thinking of a new way of cooking?" Yajima asked, interested in the story.
"Yeah, you see I was cooking some mushrooms on a stick while we were on a rooftop and using the smoke from a chimney to get that smokey scent." Remy explained.
"Oh, that sounds tasty." Warcry said, then got struck by lightning.
"And Warcy is out of the game and only 16 minutes left." Chapati announced.
"Before that, I put in a few drops from a weed grass that had some raindrops and rubbed a melted tostasula cheese on them to add another flavor." Remy said.
"How nice, though it has me concern when you mentioned about doing it on a roof of a house." Yajima said.
"Well, Emile did tried to warn me about the storm, but I didn't listen and the next thing I know were struck by lightning. It gave my mushrooms the popcorned flavor that was amazing!" Remy smiled.
"Who would be thinking about food at a time like this?" Shade asked then bumps into Yuka.
"Hey, what where you're going!" Shade yelled.
"That should be my line!" Yuka yelled back.
However, the distraction of them arguing had got them to be hit by lightning causing them the game.
"Yuka and Shade are out, 12 minutes left." Chapati said.
"Man, that must have been quite the experience for you." Yajima complimented.
"Yep, it was so worth getting hospitalize." Remy smiled.
Back to the game, Eve did his best sliding on his slippery snow while dancing gracefully for his fans though he ended up getting zapped in the air when he made the big finale with a spinning jump.
Quicksilver is running around showing off as always and saw Kagura thinking he could play a little dirty, he blitzes toward her to grab her left arm though Kagura was able to see it coming and flip over him.
"Don't think you can get me out of this game that easily." Kagura glared.
"Oh, you're a feisty one." Quicksilver smirked before running off.
"Five minutes left!" Chapati announced.
Wolverine came face-to-face with Sting from Sabretooth.
"You know, I heard a lot about you bringing Fairy Tail's name back to the top. Too bad you're not going to be number one." Sting proclaimed.
"We'll see about that, bub." Wolverine glared.
Kagura just move to her life then felt something move her leg in the path of a lightning bolt shocking her.
"And Kagura is out. 2 minutes left." Chapati said as Kagura turn to see Quicksilver with a cocky smile.
"(He must've made my leg move without using his magic to attack me otherwise he would've been out of the game by now.)" Kagura thought.
The time is under one minute and Quicksilver thought about taking Wolverine out by speeding toward him, but Wolverine was able to sniff the guy and reacted in time to make him trip over his leg and got zapped.
"Quicksilver is out!"
"Damn it…" Quicksilver grunted.
Soon, time was up, and the lightning tag contest is over.
"The game is over and the last ones standing are Wolverine and Sting!" Chapati announced as the crowd cheers.
"Enjoy the moment while it lasted, you won't be feeling it for long." Sting said.
"Can't wait to kick your asses too." Wolverine smirked.
