"Oh? Am I giant?" Remo smirked as it went unnoticed by Callista. Child.

"Yeah! A giant idiot!" Callista exclaimed with a huff.

Now:

Mavra had appeared where Kiran had been. He had the same facial features but his color scheme was completely different. His hair was now black and his eyes were a deep red. On his face, a mischievous smirk was plastered, making him look devious.

Even his clothes changed. His pants turned from black to red and his shirt changed from white to black.

"Psychotic Beam!" Mavra exclaimed, cupping his hands together in front of him.

His hands released a large dark red and black beam that came hurdling towards Phedalea.

She quickly moved out of the way and tried countering with a spell. "Golden Phoenix-"

"Unholy Spear!" Mavra yelled, cutting the Phoenix mage off. He threw a spear made of darkness at his opponent, hitting her directly. She fell to the ground, now unconscious and giving Meraki Parastin the win.

Mavra disappeared, leaving Kiran in the middle of the battlefield, completely confused. He shrugged it off and just left the arena with the rest of his team.

"Looks like that's my cue to go," Remo said, hopping off the railing and onto the balcony. "See ya guys. Bye Cal."

Remo waved as he left into the Domus Flau hallways. "The last 4 vs 4 battle we have is Sabertooth vs Fairy Tail!" Chapati announced, the audience roaring with excitement. "From Sabertooth, Orga Nanagear, Minerva Orland, Rogue Cheney, and Sting Eucliffe!"

Chapati paused for dramatic effect as the wizards that were called walked out into the arena.

"And from Fairy Tail, Laxus Dreyar, Gray Fullbuster, Natsu Dragneel, and..." Chapati paused once again (though it's not really gonna be a surprise for you guys ๐Ÿ˜‚).

"Lucy Heartfilia!"

I bang my head against the stone railing. Not literally.

"Aw come on!" I whined as Laxus threw me over his shoulder

"Come on, Heartfilia. The quicker we get down there, the quicker we can finish," Laxus told me as he jumped off the balcony with Gray and Natsu following behind.

"Aw come on Luce." Natsu grinned, trying to cheer me up as Laxus set me down. "You didn't go off training for nothin'."

"Now you can show us more of your cool magic," Gray chimed in as we went face to face with the wizards from Sabertooth.

"Fine," I groaned as we had an 'intense' stare down with Sabertooth. Laxus and Orga. Gray and Rogue. Natsu and Sting. Me and Minerva.

"Hey Superstar, you did well during the sing-off," Sting complimented with a smirk as he averted his attention away from Natsu and glanced over to me, giving me a new nickname.

"Thanks, Pale as Paper," I replied with a sweet smile as he scoffed.

"I'm not pale," he retorted.

I shrugged. "Whatever you say, Paper Copy," I giggled, ignoring his comments. "Now gimme a number between 1 and 88," I told him as he just scoffed then smirked mischievously.

"69," Sting responded as I just groaned and rolled my eyes.

"Rogue-san," I said, shifting my gaze to the shadow dragon slayer who stood next to Sting and returned my gaze. "Choose a number between 1 and 88."

He thought for a second before answering. "13."

I tried to go in alphabetical order down to the 13th constellation. I then realized what constellation it was. "Huh."

"What?" Sting asked me as I just looked at the Twin Dragon Slayers.

"Nothing," I answered with a shrug. "It's just quite the coincidence he chose that constellation."

"Why's that?" Minerva asked me with a curious expression as she stood in front of me.

"What constellation did he choose?" Orga asked.

"Canes Venatici," I replied, confusion appearing on their faces. I sighed. "The constellation of the 'hunting dogs'."

"Why's it a coincidence?" Gray asked me.

"You'll see," I replied as I requipped my stringless bow into my left hand.

"I want a good, clean fight, kabo!" Mato told us as he stood in between the 2 teams. He then moved off to the sidelines to referee the battle. "Begin!"

I quickly moved first, pulling the invisible string on my bow back with my right hand. "Open! Gate of the hunting dogs, Canes Venatici!" I yelled, releasing the arrow into the sky as everyone on the battlefield takes a few steps back.

The stars rained down in the middle of the arena. No one else dared to move, too scared to get caught in the stars' line of fire. Soon, 2 glowing animals appeared in the midst of the raining stars.

The bigger, more masculine wolf was pure white with pale silver eyes, about the size of a large dog, reaching to about my waist.

The other wolf had a more feminine frame and was smaller in size, reaching to just below my hips. The wolf had midnight black fur, which contrasted with their bright golden eyes

"Hehe," the black wolf giggled with quite a young feminine voice. "I can't wait to destroy you," she said, looking at the 4 Sabertooth wizards who stood before us. Though her voice was high pitched and seemed like a child, she was quite menacing.

"Sister, wait," the white wolf scolded with a deep, male voice, stopping the smaller wolf from attacking. "We must wait for Joล-sama's (Queen's) orders."

"Alright, Brother," the black-furred wolf responded as both of the wolves turned to me.

"Cadmon," I greeted the white-furred wolf. "Verena." I smiled, facing the black-furred wolf. I gave them a nod before turning around to face my team. We all looked at each other, already knowing who's fighting who. I turned around to the 2 wolves. "You may battle against Minerva."

"Well sh-" Minerva muttered as the wolves turned to face Sabertooth. Judging by her reaction, they figured she was who they had to battle.

"May the best wizard win," I said before launching myself off the ground, moving towards the Sabers.

Team Sabertooth and Team Fairy Tail ran at each other (like in Captain America: Civil War), each person with a determined expression. The 2 wolves charged at the Territory wizard as I changed into my Leo star dress without having to use my keys. I figured that I'd give Yukino my celestial keys since I can summon the same celestial spirits with my bow, but I couldn't find the time to visit her in the infirmary.

Verena cackled excitedly as she and Cadmon were face to face with Minerva, everyone else going off into their own battles. As Verena ran closer to Minerva, Verena barked, sending a large dark wave towards Minerva, which sent Minerva stumbling back.

As Minerva stumbled, Cadmon moved quickly, kicking her with his hind legs. Minerva was pushed back as she dug her feet into the ground to stop her from moving farther. I quickly ran to Minerva as I lit my foot with light.

"Regulus Kick!" I exclaimed as I twisted my body into a kick into Minerva's side. She blocked the kick with her arm as she was still recovering, leaving her left arm bruised where the kick was.

Minerva got into her battle stance, as did I. I threw attacks as she did the same, landing a few blows on my arm from blocking. I struck her gut and the back of her knee as a couple of times to help get an advantage.

Minerva used her territory magic, switching her with Cadmon when I just threw a kick. I moved my leg upward, missing Cadmon's head by a few centimeters.

I glanced behind me to see Verena battling Minerva, running around her. Verena lunged a few times, striking Minerva.

As Minerva stumbled from one of Verena's blows, I lunged myself at Minerva while changing into my Taurus star dress.

I wrapped my whip around Minerva's arm, pulling her closer as I raised my left hand to punch her. She quickly reacted by using her territory magic to switch our places. I quickly turned around just in time to block the punch Minerva tried throwing. We jumped a few feet away from each other to regain some magic power for a bigger attack.

Out of the corner of my eye, I see Gray showing a slight frustration against Rogue. I looked to Cadmon, who stood nearby, as I cracked my whip against the ground. I motioned to him to help Gray out, in which he understood and ran to Gray and Rogue's battle.

I launched towards Minerva, catching her by surprise a little bit. I wrapped my whip around her pulling her closer to me then quickly changing into my Cancer star dress.

โ€ข CADMON'S POV ( Surprise surprise) โ€ข

I observed the ice demon slayer and the shadow dragon slayer's battle, trying to figure out the best approach to help but not get in the way.

I watched the fight, quickly noticing when the shadow dragon slayer at his weakest, he retreats to the shadows to regain magic then quickly jumping into a surprise attack to catch the demon slayer off guard. That was when I knew how I could help.

"Radiant light!" I barked, causing the light in the arena to increase brightly. The shadows in the arena shrunk due to the bright light, leaving little to no hiding spots for the shadow dragon slayer.

The ice demon slayer quickly found his opponent in a pitch-black shadow that contrasted from the surrounding lighter blackish-gray shadows.

The dragon slayer popped out of the ground and into his dragon force, figuring that it was no use hiding now. The demon slayer summoned black markings onto half his already half-naked body.

"Oh come on!" I hear a familiar voice call out. I glance behind me to find Minerva with both of Lucy's swords from her Cancer star dress.

As Lucy was distracted by Minerva taking her weapons, Lucy failed to notice that 2 light-based Sabertooth slayers were flying towards her from their opponents' attack launching them.
