"Lulu? What are you doing?" Callista asked as she stood up next to me.

"We're no longer watching from up here."

Now:

"W-Wait! Am I going to finally meet Fairy Tail?" Callista questioned as I feel her excitement grow.

"Not yet. We're just going to be spectating from within the Domus Flau," I said as I turned towards her.

"Aw man. I want to meet them now," Callista whined.

"Later," I giggled.

• Time Skip ~ Next Morning, 10 am •

"Welcome everyone to Day 2 of the X796 Grand Magic Games! This is Chapati Lola and I'm here with Mr. Yajima once again!" Chapati exclaimed as the crowd cheered. Callista and I were currently walking around in the Domus Flau stands. We didn't have any money to buy tickets, so we snuck in. Our hoods are on, shadowing over our faces so no one should recognize us.

"Today, we're with Sabertooth's one and only, Sting Eucliffe!" Chapati announced as the crowd roars while Sting simply smirks.

"Sabertooth's gonna win this year!" Sting cheered. "Though we do have some competition with Fairy Tail."

"Don't forget Meraki Parastin. They have some pretty tough wizards," Yajima joined in.

"Splitforce isn't so bad either. You never know!" Chapati said.

"Tch. With how they almost drowned Laxus? Sure," Sting muttered quietly, though I could hear him. He was next to a microphone. Anyone could hear him if they paid attention.

"Okay! Let's take a look at the current leaderboard!" Chapati exclaimed, ignoring Sting's comment. A lacrima screen popped up in the middle of the arena, showing all the scores of every team and what place they were currently in.

[ X796 Grand Magic Games ]

[ 1st ] Fairy Tail - 15 pts

[ 2nd ] Sabertooth - 13pts

[ 2nd ] Lamia Scale - 13 pts

[ 3rd ] Meraki Parastin - 11 pts

[ 4th ] Splitforce - 9 pts

[ 5th ] Mermaid Heel - 7 pts

[ 6th ] Quatro Cerberus - 5 pts

[ 7th ] Blue Pegasus - 1pt

"Fairy Tail's currently in first place while Sabertooth and Lamia Scale are tied for 2nd!" Chapati announced, earning a few smiles from said guilds.

"Meraki Parastin isn't that far behind," Sting points out. "Though I doubt they'll be able to pass Sabertooth."

"Today's event is 'Hunger Games'! Will all teams send down their competitors for this event!" Chapati exclaimed. (I think you know how the event is)

"Who do you think is gonna participate for Fairy Tail?" Callista asked me as we leaned against the railing near the middle of the arena, just in front of the stand where people sat.

"Natsu," I simply replied.

"Huh? Why him?" Callista questioned me as her face had the expression of confusion.

"Knowing him, he'll probably think it has something to do with eating," I chuckled as Callista giggled.

"From Blue Pegasus, we have Hibiki Lates!" Chapati announced, earning a lot of screams and cheers. Mostly from the women, of course.

"Representing Mermaid Heel, Araña Webb!"

"From Meraki Parastin, Cayden Magnar!" Cayden had reddish-orange shaggy hair with golden-orange eyes. He had long bangs covering his right eye. He was tall and lean with slightly tanned skin, looking to be around 18 years old. He wore a carefree smile that contrasted that I would not originally think he'd have. (imagine him smiling \/)

He wore a red and black tunic with silver armor and black pants. On his shoulders were more silver armor pieces and he wore black fingerless gloves on his right hand while on his left, black regular gloves. On his right wrist was a thick metal cuff and around his left forearm was another silver metal cuff. (picture \/ without sword or cape)

(If you know where this character is from, I love you)

On his left forearm where there was no cloth or armor, he had his red guild mark.

"Quatro Cerberus' representative is Rocker!" Chapati continues.

"From Splitforce, Sarya Ortiza!" Sarya was a petite girl with pure white hair that reached to her stomach. Her pale skin contrasted with her light blue eyes. She wore white and black clothing, a white sleeveless open jacket that showed her stomach with a black off-shoulder cropped turtle neck with white fringe sticking up from the sleeves (I don't know how to describe it). On both her hands, she wore fingerless black gloves that reached just before her elbow joint.

She wore a black skirt with a white and black cape-like thing around her hips with a blue gem in the middle. She wore tall white and black boots that reached her knees. (picture \/ without sword. I legit don't know if that skirt thing she has is cloth or metal- I'm stupid)

Right over her bellybutton, she had her light blue guild mark. Since Splitforce's guild members had outfits and looks that matched their magic, I would think the same of her. I just didn't know if she had air magic or ice magic.

"From Lamia Scale, we have Toby Horhorta!" 

"Sabertooth sent out Rogue Cheney!" (That sounds like Pokemon) Sting immediately started cheering for his friend.

"And for Fairy Tail, Natsu Dragneel!"

I look over to Callista and simply say, "Told ya."

"Hunger Games is an event where magic is prohibited unless told otherwise, kabo! Everyone starts in the middle of a forest, where no one is allowed to attack anyone within the first 45 seconds of the event. Around the forest and in the middle, there are supplies that can help you fight other competitors, ranging from regular weapons to magic jewelry that gives you temporary basic magic. There are also a few rare cards around that allow you to use your magic if you obtain the cards, kabo! When you pick up an item, it will have the name of the item written on it. Some items will be self-explanatory, while others might not be so obvious, kabo!" Mato explained as I see Natsu sulk. He did think it would have food.

"After the 45 seconds are up, you'll be able to fight against each other! The game will end once there's one person left standing, kabo!" Mato added as the competitors of this event just simply nodded. "Now, let's teleport the participants to the battlefield!"

• 3RD PERSON POV •

The contestants were teleported to the center of the forest, where there were crates with supplies, but the contestants were restrained on a pedestal by magic until the event officially started (They're in the Cornucopia right now). 

"3," Mato started.

"2."

"1."

"Go!" Mato yelled as the magic seals on the pedestal that restrained the wizards disappeared. Natsu, Cayden, Rocker, and Toby went straight for the middle while Rogue, Araña, Sarya, and Hibiki ran into the forest.

The group in the middle searched for as many things as they could in the crates and boxes. Cayden found an iron sword, Toby found a few smoke bombs, Rocker found 1 magic neutralizing bomb, while Natsu found a... fishing rod...

Rogue sprinted through the forest, trying to find supplies. As he ran, he came around a box. He opened it, finding the Mystic Spirit Staff.

"What does this 'Mystic Spirit Staff' do?" Chapati questioned no one in particular.

"It's a staff that basically summon ghosts, kabo!" Mato explained as he watched the lacrima that showed Rogue taking the staff.

"Awesome!" Sting cheered his friend on as Rogue continued running. The people in the middle have all parted ways already.

"The ghosts' can't actually do anything though. They just scare people away, kabo!" Mato explained as Sting grumbled. "The 45 seconds are up! Contestants may attack each other now, kabo!"

(Let's be honest. We all just want to skip to the important 1 vs 1 battles. But I won't do that. Instead, I'll rush the event part)

The lacrima screen showed the different contestants finding different things. Natsu still has his... fishing rod... while Rogue has a small axe and the Mystic Spirit staff.

Cayden Magnar ran through the forest after splitting up with the people in the middle, not wanting to get knocked out early. He rushed, climbing the tall trees to sneak up on people. As he leaped from tree to tree, he saw a small crate tucked away in a hole in a tree. He lifted the lid, finding a small card with the words 'Magic Use'. This must've been the card that allowed him to use his magic. Oh how lucky he was.

Sarya had ran into a small cave just behind a waterfall near the edge of the forest. She decided to wait until her opponents knock each other out. As she ventured further into the cave, she comes across a small box covered with rocks, hidden behind a boulder. She opened the box, finding a glowing card - the one that allows the use of her magic. She smirked to herself, knowing that things just got easier for her.

Somewhere in the forest, Toby and Hibiki run into each other. Toby had only 2 smoke bombs left, due to him testing them out after receiving them. Hibiki had the 'Scroll of Immovability', which can only be used once to render their opponent unable to move for 15 seconds. 

Toby had tried to throw one of his smoke bombs at the Blue Pegasus guild member, but Hibiki then put the scroll into action, making Toby unable to move. Hibiki then moved quickly to throw as many punches as he could in 15 seconds. The damage he had caused in those 15 seconds was enough to defeat the froze Lamia Scale competitor. Toby teleported back to his balcony, leaving the smoke bombs behind. Hibiki grabbed the smoke bombs, thinking they'd be useful.

Natsu had been running through the forest with his fishing rod in hand. It wasn't long before he saw Rocker not very far in front of him. Rocker then noticed the Fire Wizard behind him and immediately started running. Rocker still only had the magic neutralizing bomb, but it's not much use against someone who can't even use their magic right now. 

"Hey! Come back!" Natsu yelled as he chased the Quatro Cerberus contestant. For the first time, it seemed like a lightbulb lit over Natsu's head as if he had an idea. He gripped his fishing rod tightly as he held it over his head. "I'm going fishing!" He then cast out the line, hooking onto the back of Rocker's jacket. The Fairy Tail guild didn't know whether or not to be proud. I mean, Natsu had an idea, but he looked stupid fishing for a person.

Natsu pulled the fishing rod with all his strength, bringing Rocker towards him. Natsu then threw a punch straight to the face then kneed his opponent in the gut with a lot of force. Natsu may not have had magic, but his pure strength was great. Great enough to successfully win over the opponent he caught off guard.

Rocker was sent back to his balcony, dropping the magic neutralizing bomb behind. Natsu then picked it up, though he had no idea what it did - even though its name explains what it does. The Fairy Tail wizard then ran in a random direction, hoping to run into another person to start a fight with.

The Meraki Parastin guild wizard, Cayden Magnar, had felt confident in this event since he was able to use his magic. He just strolled through the forest, taking in the scenery as he waited for someone to come fight him. As if the gods heard him, Araña Webb of the all-girl guild, Mermaid Heel, came rushing towards him through the trees.

Araña had a bow and a few arrows in a quiver to fight with, though it was unsure if she knew how to shoot.

When Cayden knew a fight was coming, a large sharp metal boomerang then appeared in Cayden's right hand. It seemed he made it appear.

"Where'd that boomerang come from?!" Chapati asked as he watched the battle unfold. 

"It appears to be Requip. He must've summoned the weapon from his requip inventory," Yajima commented. Cayden threw the boomerang at his opponent, but she dodged it, missing by a few centimeters. The crowd erupted into cheers as they watched the battle that happened on the lacrima-vision.

"Another requip wizard?" Sting thought out loud. "I wonder if they're as skilled as Fairy Tail's own requip wizard."

The boomerang then made a u-turn after missing its target, making its way back to Cayden's hand. He then summoned another boomerang that looked the same in his other hand. He threw both at the same time, the boomerangs gliding through the air, launching towards the Mermaid Heel participant.

Araña scrambled to grab an arrow that resided in the quiver on her back. She dodged one of the boomerangs that came for her as she notched an arrow. Before she could shoot, the second boomerang came from behind her, cutting her right leg, making her fall to the ground. 

Both boomerangs returned to its summoner as the Mermaid Heel wizard shot an arrow towards her opponent. He easily dodged it as he sent his boomerangs back to his inventory. He then sprinted towards her as she tried getting up. He then karate-chopped the back of her neck, hitting a neck muscle to knock her out. Araña teleported back to her balcony, unconscious, leaving behind the arrows, bow, and quiver.

Cayden then left behind the stuff his opponent had dropped. He didn't have much use for it since he could use his magic, and he didn't even know how to shoot an arrow.

As Hibiki roamed the forest, he heard a rustle from the trees. He then looked around with caution. "Ice Pillar!" A voice yelled from the trees. On the ground, a pillar of ice shot up, striking Hibiki from the front. He soared through the air until his back smashed against a nearby tree. 

"W-Who's there?!" He stammered as he looked around anxiously. 

"Ice Shard!" The voice shouted once again. A small shard of ice shot from one of the trees, aiming towards Hibiki. He didn't notice though. His back was facing that way.

The ice shard stung his back as he groaned in pain. He looked behind him as he felt a chill in his spine. That's when he saw her. Sarya Ortiza. She smiled coldly as he felt himself start freezing. He looked at his hands that turned to blue. 

"What's happening?!" He questioned her as he freaked out. He couldn't move much. He felt weighed down and froze.

"You won't die. You'll just freeze. Once you teleport back, you'll be returned to normal," Sarya replied coldly, turning her back on him to search for a new target as Hibiki froze solid, teleporting back to the Blue Pegasus balcony afterward.
