As Fairy Tail celebrates, others around Crocus think about their own issues, Sting from Sabertooth confiding in Lector that he believes he will be fighting Natsu the following day, for which he is excited. In the shower, Kagura contemplates the meaning of Jellal being in Fairy Tail, whilst from the balcony outside, Millianna  wonders the same thing. When Risley tries to get her to speak about her troubles, Millianna states that there is nothing wrong, though tells Risley that they must try their hardest to win the Grand Magic Games for their guild. The man on the two women's mind, Jellal, also thinks alone, walking through the streets as he remembers his identity being revealed earlier that day. All the while, in Mercurius , Lily reports to her commander, addressing herself as "Sergeant".

~ Third POV and The next day ~

Carpati: Day four of the Grand Magic Games! In just a moment, today's competition will begin! The name of the competition is Naval Battle!

The fourth day of the Grand Magic Games then gets into swing with the beginning of the event Naval Battle. Introducing Rabian as the guest commentator of the day, Carparti explains the rules of the event, where each competitor swims in a giant sphere of water and must try to knock the other players out without falling out themselves. When only two competitors remain, a five minute timer will be set, and, should one of the players fall out during this time, they will not receive second place, rather last.

When the game starts, each guild sends forth their competitors: Sherria , Jenny, Risley, Minerva, Juvia , Lisanna and Rosalie make up the very much adored female portion of the players . Jenny tries to take down Rosalie out since her back was turned around , but she was wrong Rosalie heard Jenny was about to kick her out so Rosalie grab her leg and threw her where Juvia and Sherria are fighting .

Rosalie: do you really think you can take me down , that easily Jenny than your mistaken . Fire Phoenix Tornado !!

A large fire hurricane appeared , sucking Sherria , Jenny and Risley than a whirlpool appeared under the hurricane sending Sherria , Jenny and Risley out of the giant sphere of water .

Risley: What the heck ?!? Isn't Fire weak against Water ?!?
Rosalie: Yeah , but Phoenix fire is never weak unless it's a Water Phoenix Slayer .

Leaving only Juvia , Lisanna , Minerva and herself , wanting to demonstrate her power, Juvia releases a new spell she learned after having her Second Origin activated, turning to cast "Wings of Love" at her opponents, the attack springing forth a cluster of heart-filled currents, as Juvia openly declares her love for Gray . The attack was weak against Rosalie , Juvia quickly becomes depressed . Before she can move to do anything else however, the Water Mage suddenly finds herself outside of the sphere, falling to the ground and receiving third place whilst her team berates her for losing focus. Than it was Lisanna , Minerva and Aira left in the sphere of water , Rosalie looked at Lisanna and she smirked .

Rosalie: well well well , if it isn't Lisanna Strauss little sister of Mirajane and Elfman Strauss . This got to be my lucky day , this is pay back for hurting Lucy-chan . Fire Phoenix Shriek !!!
.
Rosalie  breaths heavily as she accumulates a large amount of fire inside her mouth, and send it in the form of a scream . Lisanna is a bit 3 degree burnt and Rosalie kicked her out of the sphere of water , leaving only  Minerva and herself . Rosalie looked and saw some of the Fairy Tail members that are worried about Lisanna since she got hit by Rosalie's Fire Phoenix Shriek . Natsu , Gray , Elfman and Erza looked and saw Rosalie smirking they glare at but she ignore them .

Carpati: The person who leaves the sphere in the next five minutes will be in last place!
Yajima: I wonder what this rule is for..
Rabian: It's to keep the tension high to the very end. Thank you very much.
Minerva: With my magic, I could have you outside of here in a flash but that would spoil the fun. Try to withstand this, Celestial Stars .

Minerva said, move her right hand forward. Light appeared beside Rosalie .

Rosalie : What is this ?!

Than, it strike her .

Rosella: Heat? In the water?! How is that possible , I thought Aira can control the temperature of the water ?
Lucy: me too .
Aira: Rosalie !!
Mion: What the hell kind of magic is that ?!
Rosalie: Territory Magic is it ?
Minerva: how do you know ?
Rosalie: Juvia didn't lose her focus , you use your magic to take her out did you ?
Minerva: of course , I did .

It is quickly revealed that Minerva was responsible for Juvia's fall, her team stating that with her Magic, she could have pushed everyone from the arena in a matter of seconds.

Rosalie: well since now I know your magic , I can final use this form . Phoenix Drive !!

Physical changes appear on Rosalie body such as Fire markings engraved into her skin and 5 feathers to grow out of her forearms . Before Minerva could attack Rosalie , Rosalie grab Minerva's neck and gave it a tight squeeze , Minerva is having some trouble breathing since Rosalie is suffocating her . Minerva is going to swap her position but then she felt her magic power is draining quickly , she found out that Rosalie is draining her magic . Once Minerva felt all her strength gone , Rosalie release Minerva and through her out of the giant water sphere .

Carpati: The referee has stopped it! The competition is over! The winner is Rosalie! Celestial Stars really is strong!

Sting and Orga caught Minerva in time before she could fall on the ground.

Sting: Milady hang in there .
Rufus: * angry * what did you do ?
Rosalie: easy , I just drain her magic .
Orga: you what ?!?
Carpati: Uh-oh ! What's this !? Are both teams about to rumble ?!
Man: They're gonna start something here!?
Carpati: Sabertooth versus Celestial Stars !
Crowd: Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!"

A stare down is place out in the stadium between Team Celestial Stars vs Team Sabertooth , the ground starts to shake rapidly due to the magic power the two teams  .

1st place - Celestial Stars 70 points
2nd place - Fairy Tail B 29 points
3rd place -Fairy Tail A 24 points
4th place - Lamia Scale 22 points
5th place - Sabertooth 21 points

~ Time skip ~

Carpati: The Fairy Tail team has finished its reorganization and we're about to begin the battle part of day four!

Carpati announce, glance at the side.

Carpati: Continuing with commentary, we have with us former Council member, Yajima-san.
Yajima: Thank you.
Carpati: And our special guest today is Rabian-san, leader of the Scheherzade Theatrical Troupe.
Rabian: It's an honor. Thank you very much!"
Yajima: The battle part for the fourth day are tag-team matches, right?
Rabian: Two against two? I can't wait! Thank you very much!
Carpati: Alright, I will now announce the match-ups for the battles! The first match is Blue Pegasus versus Celestial Stars! The second match is Mermaid Heel versus Lamia Scale! The third match is Sabertooth versus Fairy Tail!

The audience cheers

Carpati: And now, here comes the new Fairy Tail team!

As the whole arena is shaking, the Fairy Tail team enter the field reveal Natsu, Erza, Gajeel, Gray , Laxus and Lisanna .

Carpati: As you might expect, everyone's waiting for Fairy Tail versus Sabetooth, who wants to see the former strongest guild and the strongest guild .
Yajima: I didn't know what was going to happen then.
Rabian: It's is was a heated moment. Thank you very much!

The second part of the tournament begins with a tag battle between Blue Pegasus' Ichiya and "Rabbit" and Celestial Stars's Aira and Rosella .

Aira: Lets take them down Rosella .
Rosella: yes .

Aira's hands and Rosella's hands come together , they hands begin to glow releasing a powerful .

Carpati: * shocked * what this ? Yajima-sama can you feel this magic energy seeping out of Aira and Rosella ?
Yajima: Yes , they might be doing a Unison Raid  .
Rabian: this is exciting , thank you very much
Aira: Rosella let's finish this
Rosella: hmm

Aira and Rosella: Dragon Slayer Secret Art Unison Raid: Hail Descension Storming Heavens !!

Aira proceeds to first jump high into the air above Ichiya and " Rabbit " , then proceeds to conjure a large glacier from even the tiniest bit of moisture in the air. She appears to stand above it as the glacier begins forming at her feet, taking in more moisture from the atmosphere and grows in size. After the glacier has finished forming . Rosella generates a large amount of lightning from both hands. As she do that, Rosella begins to focus such lightning to surround both arms in dense layers of electricity, essentially creating powerful gauntlet of immense electrical power. Due to the amount of lightning charged and compressed, it causes Rosella hands to glow a bright yellow. After Rosella finishes charging all of that lightning , she charge towards the glacier and let all the layers of electricity in the glacier . Aira uses the crafted mass of ice with the electricity to come down atop of her foes, utilizing the glacier's massive weight to completely crush anyone beneath her . Victory is now given to Team Celestial Stars , everybody is impressed by Aida's and Rosella's display of power especially Erza, who is surprised they defeated Ichiya and Nichiya .

Next, Milliana and Kagura prepare to fight Lyon and Yuka, and as the battle begins Natsu and Gajeel stare down Sting and Rouge . Kagura decides to let Millianna handle the two on her own while she watches from the sidelines. As the battle begins, Millianna manages to push back Lyon and Yuka by herself. However, the two Lamia Scale Mages then manage to outsmart Millianna and defeat her. Kagura then enters the battle herself and defeats Yuka with ease, leaving the remaining two Mages to face off one on one. They fight back and forth with neither giving an inch, though, just as Kagura is about to finish Lyon the time limit ends and the battle is declared a draw, five points being awarded to each team. The third and last battle of the Fourth Day is then announced: Team Sabertooth vs. Team Fairy Tail ; the battle of between Dragon Slayers begins. However, before they can so much as move, Natsu and Gajeel rush at the Twin Dragons, punching them away. After a series of attacks, Sting and Rogue, unable to so much as lay a hand on their opposing Dragon Slayer opponents, activate White Drive and Shadow Drive .

The audience is excited as Sting and Rouge show some trouble in their fight against Natsu and Gajeel. Natsu asks them if they really defeated a Dragon with the amount of power they have now, Sting proudly declaring that not only did he defeat the Dragon, he also killed it. They then start attacking seriously, and Natsu and Gajeel seem to have trouble fighting back. Back in the infirmary, Porlyusica  notices the change in the cheering of the crowds and concludes that Natsu and Gajeel are having trouble. Wendy gets worried about this, but Porlyusica assures her that the battle has just begun. Meanwhile, while attacking Natsu, Sting reveals his goals of surpassing him. Erza notices a change in his attacks and it is shown that Sting has put a Magic circle on Natsu, but he quickly burns it off. After a while, Gajeel and Natsu begin to overpower Sting and Rogue, much to Fairy Tail's relief. As they fight, Makarov notes that three months of training and activating the Second Origin has made them very powerful.

Sting and Rogue struggle to get up, and Lector is worried about Sting. Lector thinks back to when Sting first made a promise to him, and Sting activates his Dragon Force, promising to fight for Lector's sake. Rogue also activates his Dragon Force, and Mavis and Jellal are shocked to see that they can activate it to their own will. Sting then challenges the both of the Fairy Tail members alone, and, as they fight, the whole arena shakes at the magnitude of his power. Wendy, Carla , and Lucy become worried, but Porlyusica states that since this is a battle between Dragon Slayers, the price of it is going to be heavy.

As the debris clears out, Caparti Lola announces in shock that the floor of the arena has crumbled, and Lacrima screens appear to show the audience the battle going on inside the pit. When Natsu and Gajeel seem to have fallen, and Sting thinks back to the promise he made to Lector. In the past, Sting asked Lector why he was crying, and Lector replied that other people did not believe him when he said that Sting had defeated a Dragon. To comfort him, Sting promised Lector to defeat Salamander in front of everybody, to prove that Lector was not a liar.

It looks like a victory to Sabertooth , and the Fairy Tail guild members are saddened by this outcome. Romeo begs Natsu to get up while Happy silently cries. Natsu then gets up, telling everyone not to think of this as a victory yet. Cheers of relief run through the audience and the people in the infirmary notice the change of cheers, and they are assured that Natsu and Gajeel are still fighting. Natsu then reveals that he has noticed a pattern in everything Sting and Rogue do, and as they go over them, they start squabbling. While arguing, Natsu pushes Gajeel on a cart, and the cart starts to move, triggering Gajeel's motion sickness. Natsu then challenges Sabertooth alone, feeling the need to have revenge on them for taking Fairy Tail too lightly.

Having disposed of Gajeel through the use of a mining cart, Natsu turns to confront both Sting and Rouge alone, causing his guild members in the crowd to cheer wildly for him, whilst those from Sabertooth frown upon the sudden change in events. From his place atop the arena, and theirs just outside of it, Jellal, Meredy and Ultear all feel Zeref's dark presence once more, Jellal hurriedly pursuing it.

Below the arena, Sting once again fires up his Dragon Force , screaming that nothing is more powerful than it as he once again rushes Natsu. Natsu, though, seems to block his punch with little effort, contemplating aloud that maybe Sting's powers are half-baked. Natsu pushes Sting back, also managing to rebut Rogue's Shadow Dragon's Roar when it is fired at him from behind. From there, both Sabertooth Mages continue to stand, repetitively attacking Natsu from every direction as the Fire Dragon Slayer continuously blocks their attacks. In the stands, members of Fairy Tail and those familiar with Natsu all watch him on Lacrima  screens, remembering his ferocity and undying nature when he battles for his friends.

Knocked down once more after a failed attempt to hit Natsu, Sting recalls the day Lector asked to be his apprentice, and how the two vowed to become stronger together. Glancing back at the device recording the fight for the Lacrima screens, Sting seems to hear Lector's cries from the crowd, and together he and Rogue stand, taking on a new stance as their Magic swirls out and builds up behind them. From her place beside Makarov , Mavis realizes that the duo are powering up for a Unison Raid , but also notes that sometimes walls exist that cannot be crushed by power alone. Sting and Rogue then launch their combined attack, and the guild all stand in wonder as Natsu makes no apparent move to dodge. Revealing to have cast Crimson Lotus: Exploding Flame Blade to defend himself, Natsu stands tall amidst the debris of the attacks, whilst Sting and Rogue, having been hit full on by the spell, fall.

Having won the battle, Natsu stands tall as Team Fairy Tail is awarded 10 points, standing a point above Team Sabertooth . With the fourth day declared to be over, all of the other teams make new goals for the final day, that being to defeat Fairy Tail.

1st place - Celestial Stars 80 points
2nd place - Fairy Tail 39 points
3rd place - Lamia Scale 27 points
4th place -  Mermaid Heel 26 points
5th place - Sabertooth 21 points
6th place - Blue Pegasus 20 points

Sabertooth's master Jiemma , however, does not voice such a thing, merely burning with enraged Magic Power as those sitting near him flee his anger. As Sting and Rogue lie beneath the arena and sadly contemplate their loss, Jellal follows the hooded figure out of the Domus Flau , and Natsu visits Gray and Erza . As everyone praises Natsu for his victory, Natsu comments that it is only the beginning, and, together, the Mages vow to unite and make Fairy Tail the number one guild in Fiore once more.

In the catacombs of the Domus Flau, Gajeel angrily wanders, cursing Natsu for his previous actions. As he wonders where he could possibly be, the Iron Dragon Slayer suddenly comes across a huge cavern, shocked into silence to find that it is filled with a great number of Dragon skeletons.
