Ryu: What exactly do you mean by Keith's about to let loose?

Wendy: Wait, is he planning on using THAT?

Raito: No he doesn't show off in ways like that. Keith's never been that type.

Aqua: So he's planning on using the Sacred Art.

Ryu: Sacred Art? He can do one of those?

Raito: Just watch. The one he's gonna use is almost made for this competition.

Juliet was walking through the town.

Juliet: To many places with shadows. It'll just make Keith right at home.

Nulpudding: Well well well, if it isn't a Fairy I found myself.

She saw Nulpudding come out of the crowd.

Juliet: And a dirty Raven to boot. By the way, you're not slick.

She turned around and shot an ice blast at the REAL Nulpudding.

Chapati: And that's 1 point for Juliet! She saw through the clever tactic of Nulpudding and put herself on the leader board.

Juliet: Next time, at least try and be discrete about your location.

Aqua: Looks like Juli can tell who's actually who.

Ryu: Whatever Keith has in mind, it better be good.

Keith was still in the shadows charging up.

Keith: '7 targets. To guarantee a victory, I should score 2 points before I pull of the bigger move.' Chaos Shadow God: Shade Clones!

From Keith's shadow two clones appeared.

Ryu: Since when could Keith do that?

Wendy: They're his Shadow Clones! They're at least half his strength and can do almost everything he can.

They soon sunk into shadows and went after Leon and Nulpudding. They weren't suspecting of them not knowing that they were around. That was until one popped in front of each of them.

Leon: Keith?!

Nulpudding: What the-

They couldn't say anything else as they were hit.

Chapati: OH and Leon and Nulpudding were struck by Keith! In different places! That's two points for Fairy Tail Team A!!

Yajima: That's part of Keith's Shadow God Magic. There are many ways he can use it and this is one of them. If that was the real him he'd be open for an attack, but since it's his shadows he's not at risk.

Natsu: What no way!!

Gajeel: What a wimp!

Erza: Easy you two. He may be hiding but Keith is easily able to take either of you on at once.

Laxus: It's actually clever. He's able to rack up points without loosing any himself.

The clones dispersed as Keith was still in the shadows.

Keith: 'Almost time. Everyone just needs to be distracted.'

Snow started to fall from Eve's know Magic which made Keith internally smirk.

Keith: 'I have a feeling I'll get that chance soon.'

The field soon became a battlefield as attacks went flying.

Lyon: You won't get out of my sights Juliet! Ice Make: EAGLE!!

Lyon shot many eagles at Juliet who dodged them before getting ready to counter.

Juliet: Blizzard Barrage!!

She held out her hands with spear heads of ice launching through the rest of Lyon's Eagles.

Lyon: No way!

He was hit by all of them making him teleport away. She was about to get a point for it but Nulpudding snuck up on her and landed a blow to her face.

Chapati: Oh and a sneak attack from Nulpudding brings Juliet back down to one point!

Juliet: The hell freak?! Why don't you go after another guild before you get targeted by me for some points.

Ryu: What's going on? He only's gone after her. He got some sorta grudge with... Ivan you bastard.

Raito: The entire Raven Tail guild just is targeting us.

Wendy: Why would they do that?

Aqua: I don't know.

At that point; everyone noticed Rufus on a building in plain sight. The exact opposite of what Keith was doing.

Rufus: I've committed this song to memory. The rhythm of their heart beats, their footsteps, the tone of their magic. It's all there, inside my mind. Memory Make-

Ryu: It's real?!

Rufus: Night of Shooting Stars!

The real contestants glowed as they were hit by yellow magic blast.

Aqua: What's that?

Ryu: Memory Make Magic. A Maker Magic that can manipulate memories in a way. It gives them such an incredible memory that they can memories practically anything. That way they can make new spells, and negate old ones by forgetting them. It's a Lost Magic that hasn't been seen for ages. This is the first time I've seen it in action.

Wendy: How exactly do you know that Ryu?

Ryu: I read books about Lost Magic from time to time.

Raito: What kind of library do we have?

Ryu: That's a story for another time. Right now I feel that Keith's about to make a move.

The alley were Keith was darker than ever.

Keith: Thanks for giving me some good targets pal.

They all were surprised to here Keith's voice.

Lyon: Is that him? He's been quiet nearly all game.

Eve: Where could he be though?

Rufus: I wasn't able to pinpoint him at all.

Keith: God Slayer Sacred Art.

Natsu: A Sacred Art?!

Erza: What could it be?

Keith leapt from the alleys into the skies as they were covered by shadows.

Keith: Lord of Darkness: Deadly Shadow Spears!!!

From them came dozens of shadow spears guided towards every contestant.

Ryu: Woah! Didn't see that coming!

Raito: Keith's finally taken the offensive.

The shadows hit everyone including Rufus.

Laxus: Is that what he was doing while he was hiding?

Erza: He must have been charging Magic Power and sensing where everyone was.

Gajeel: That was crafty.

Natsu: As much as I hate to admit it I have wouldn't be able to outrun any of those attacks.

Keith floated down onto a building with a smirk.

Keith: And that's why I get paid the big bucks.

Chapati: And it's over!! Round one of the Grand Magic games is over with Fairy Tail Team A coming in first!!

Scores.
Fairy Tail Team A: 11
Sabertooth: 9
Raven Tail: 7
Lamia Scale: 6
Fairy Tail Team B: 5
Blue Pegasus: 4
Quattro Cerberus: 4
Mermaid Heel: 2.

The town disappeared as Keith held his fist up in victory walking away. Slowly the crowd began to cheer for the Team getting smiles of approval from them.

Wendy: That was amazing!

Aqua: Seriously! Way to go Keith.

Keith: Thanks.

Raito: Sneaky Keith.

Ryu: Letting them fight among themselves giving you clear shots.

Keith: Heh, I'm not as soft as most guys. Remember that.

They fist bumped and everyone high five'd. Juliet came to her team slightly annoyed.

Juliet: Sorry guys, I wanted to get us more than 5 points.

Natsu: Hey don't feel too bad, 5th place is awesome!!

Erza: Yes, it's better then being in dead last with no points.

Laxus: Exactly. You did better than most would do.

Juliet: I know but still. I would've gotten more points if it weren't for that purple midget getting in the way.

A hint of frustration could be heard in her voice as Gajeel nodded his head.

Gajeel: Yeah, Raven Tail seems to have it out for us.

Raito: Well, considering there are still a lot more games to go, we gonna run away with the lead?

Wendy: For sure!

Aqua: I don't see why we wouldn't. Next up is the one on one matches.

Ryu: MAN SLAUGHTER.

Shojo: That's what it could end up as yeah

Chapati: For the Battle we have next IT WILL BE~!!

Ironically there was drumroll before he answered.

Chapati: Aqua Kaiser from Fairy Tail Team A vs Flare Corona for Raven Tail!

Ryu&Raito: "CORONA?"

Keith: 'He ain't talking bout that virus right?'

Logius: Let's not go that far boys.

Aqua looked over to the red haired girl Flare who had a blank look in her eyes and a smile.

Flare: Too bad for you Blue.

Keith: Oh sweet author that's just terrifying.

Aqua: I don't know why, but I REALLY don't like her.

Ryu: Simple Solution: Beat her hard.

Aqua: Simple but effective.

Raito: Just watch out. I feel like some foul play might happen.

Aqua: Right.

She the two girls walked to the center of the arena.

Mato: This entire arena will be you're battlefield ladies. Since this is one on one, we moved the rest of you're teammates completely off the field! You have a 30 minute time limit.

Flare: Good. Plenty of time.

Aqua: That about 29 minutes too many.

They didn't hear the rest of what Mato said as sparks flew between the two.

Wendy: 'I can't really tell why Aqua doesn't like her, she always at least tries to give an effort to be friends with everyone. At least when it's not a Dark Guild.'

The gong rang as Aqua breathed in. She stretched her hands outward before putting one at her side. She waved her other hand signaling for Flare to attack. Flare laughed loudly as her hair whipped around and went straight to Aqua.

Ryu: Hair Magic?

Raito: That's one of the weirdest ones I've seen yet.

Keith: Coupled with the psychotic laughter, I think I'm gonna keep my distance.

Aqua began dodging side to side avoiding the whips of Flare's hair.

Aqua: 'It's already easy to tell the pattern of her attacks. I can do this.'

Aqua got closer to Flare moving like a leaf in a stream.

Erza: Aqua seems to have become even more fluent in her movements.

Laxus: She isn't a joke. I may have to watch myself if I ever fight her.

Shojo: Those movements are so smooth. Almost like a refined dance.

Ryu: 'It's something that's never left Aqua.'

She swiftly made way in front of flare and brought her hand back.

Aqua: Royal Water Dragon: Crushing Claw!!!

Her arm was surrounded in pink water before she struck Flare in the stomach. Flare coughed before getting blown away.

Ryu: 'Yeah that's Royal Alright.'

Shojo: It's impressive.

Flare: I'm gonna kill her!

She wrapped her hair around Aqua's ankle and pulled her along with her.

Keith: Oh that's pretty bad.

Soon after Flare's hair began heating up to a burning level.

Aqua: Argh! That's hot!!

Flare: Hair Shower: WOLF FANG!!!

Some of her hair changed to a Wolf.

Raito: The hell-

Ryu: Is that?!

Keith: She can do all kinds of tricks huh?

Aqua breathed in before the wolf got to her.

Aqua: Royal Water Dragon: ROAR!!!

She roared with a torrent of water going towards the wolf. There was a burst of steam before they landed on the ground. Aqua looked at her legs to see that her leggings were ruined.

Aqua: Aww, I really liked these too.

Flare was shocked to see that it was all she did.

Erza: Obviously Flare cannot win this fight.

Soon Flare saw a few stands of her hair falling down.

Flare: 'Not only did she not take any damage from my attack, but she cut my hair!! She's gonna get it!!'

Some of Flare's hair trailed off to the side and went into a crack.

Aqua: So, are we gonna get this over with or not?

Flare smiled eerily before pointing over to where Alzack and Bisca's child Asaka was. Aqua looked over a saw that Flare's hair was right next to her.

Flare: I think you know what this means Blue, if you try and fight back I'll snap the little brats neck. No one will even see her either.

Aqua wanted to move but didn't knowing that Flare would kill her.

Aqua: Damn you...

Flare: Now be a good girl a take you're punishment with a smile.

She scowled before putting her arms down.

Aqua: 'Sorry guys, but I just can't risk her safety.'

Flare laughed and started whipping Aqua with her hair. This confused everyone on Team A and B.

Raito: What's happening here?

Wendy: Why is Aqua just taking her attacks like that? Did she get hurt from the burns?!

Keith: No she wasn't hurt by it at all. The was was no scratches or red marks at all.

Ryu: Nothings adding up right now...

Ryu looked around trying to see any reason why Aqua wasn't fighting back. Meanwhile Aqua got up from the brutal attacks.

Aqua: Alright you've had you're fun. I surren-

Aqua was cut off by Flare's hair wrapping around her mouth.

Flare: Ah ah ahhh. No talking. Not unless you want her head snapped off like a doll.

Ryu's ears twitched at this.

Ryu: Who's head snapped off?

Wendy: AH!! Guys look!!

Wendy pointed up to Asaka and saw that some of Flare's hair was next to her. The three men seeing this nearly all flew a fuse.

Ryu: That manipulative little bitch!!

Ryu was about to fly up until he saw somebody drop down into the stands were Fairy Tail was.

???: Excuse me Makarov, I think a little one is in danger.

Makarov turned to see who said that. He was confused when he saw who it was.

Makarov: Wait, Ryu? Weren't you-

Makarov looked down to Team A and saw Ryu had his eyes wide open.

Raito: Uh, Ryu, who's the US look alike?

Ryu: DAD?!!!

Bahamut: One moment.

Bahamut growled the hair near Asaka as she looked towards his hand.

Asaka: Mister?

Bahamut: You should be carful young one.

He burnt the hair alarming Flare. He gained a serious expression.

Bahamut: Olay the games right scum.

Raito: HOLD THE HELL UP THAT'S HIM?!!!

Keith: The resemblance is there.

Wendy: That's the Dragon Hod huh?

Bahamut: HEY AQUA, THERE'S NO NEED FOR YOU TO HOLD BACK NOW! GIVE HER HELL!!!

Aqua looked up to see that Bahamut was in the stands.

Aqua: 'Th-That's dad? Wow he's huge.'

She soon began to smirk.

Aqua: Looks like you're out of luck.

Her eyes turned a crimson red.

CHAPTER END!!
