//------------------------------// // Grand Magic Games: Day 5, Final Battle // Story: Spike the Fairy // by PonyJoel //------------------------------// "The day has arrived. It's Day 5 of the Grand Magic Games!" Chapati announces. "Ladies and gentlemen, we have some unfortunate news. The guild known as the Celestials will not be joining us in Day 5's extravaganza. Therefore, the two Fairy Tail teams will merge into one team with 45 points and remain number one for now. "It is unfortunate. For reasons the Celestial's departure will not be announced," Yajima announces. "Hello everyone," The Pumpkin Head, Mato greets everyone in attendance on the mic. "I'll be your special guest in today's Day 5 Finale. It is quite a shame that Fairy Tail won't be competing with two teams. The reason for Fairy Tail to start with 45 points is to make the final battle much more entertaining and closer for the other guilds. Especially when Fairy Tail Team B has 65 points!" "And with that, ladies and gentlemen, let's bring out all the competitors!" Chapati announces. Quatro Puppy is the first to come out. They are in 6th place with 14 points. "Let's make an awesome comeback! Wild!" Quatro Puppy shouts in unison. Blue Pegasus is the second to come out. They are in 5th place with 27 points. "Alright, everyone. Let's show everyone that you should never underestimate Blue Pegasus!" Ichiya proclaims. "Right! We look forward to winning the games with you, Maestro," The Trimen says in unison. "I'm ready to show everyone that Blue Pegasus is not a fluke in this year's Grand Magic Games," Jenny said. Lamia Scale is the third to come out. They are in 4th place with 28 points. "I'm looking forward to that rematch with Spike the Fairy," Jura said. "Are you freaking kidding me? Did you not see what he did to those Celestials?" Toby said. He's confused as to why Jura is excited. "He did turn into a demon to conquer his demons. I wouldn't want to piss him off," Sherria said. "It doesn't matter. Lamia Scale is winning today's game. We will defeat Fairy Dragon and secure our place as the number-one ranked guild. Then Juvia will be a member of Lamia Scale," Lyon gets sidetracked when his imagination of Juvia gets the better of him. Sabertooth is the fourth to come out. They are in 3rd place with 37 points. No one in Sabertooth says a word. Sting is focused on winning the games so he can see Lector again after last night's disaster. Rogue can't wait to fight Gajeel in the contest. Minerva is upset that the Celestials are not competing, but it's one less guild to worry about. Mermaid Heel is the fifth to come out. They are in 2nd place with 42 points. Everyone except for Kagura is celebrating their position and hopes to obtain a first place for the rest of the games. Every Mermaid Heel member hopes and prays that Kagura can subdue Fairy Dragon or tire him long enough for either of them to deliver the finishing blow. Fairy Tail is the last to come out. They are in 1st place with 45 points. Laxus, Gajeel, Gray, Erza, and Spike come out. They see who's competing in the final event. They don't say anything as they are focused on the task at hand. "Ready to win?" "You know it. Losing is not an option." "Now that all teams have entered the arena, the final match will be a Full-Team-Survivor-Game!" Chapati announces. "The teams won't be competing in this small arena. They have a special arena to duke it out. The entire city of Crocus will serve as their battlefield!" The Pumpkin Head announces. "Teams will be spread throughout the battlefield and will be waiting on standby," Yajima explains. The teams in the arena are teleported to other regions of Crocus. "The combatants will rush through the city, battling any opposing guild members they encounter. Knocking out or incapacitating an opposing wizard will score 1 point. Taking out the leader of the team is worth 5 points. Each guild will elect a leader of the team, and no other guild will know of it." "Listen, we have to win this just in case the rescue plan fails. Lucy is counting on all of us," Erza reminds the team. "Don't worry. Losing isn't an option for Fairy Tail," Spike declares. "She's not the only reason we're fighting," Gajeel said. "Gajeel's right. We're winning this for all of our friends in Fairy Tail," Gray said. "It's the very least we can do to thank them; After seven years of heartache. They deserve nothing short but victory," Laxus said. "Ready?" Erza asks. "Yeah!" Everyone around her shouted in unison, determined to win. Erza, Gray, Spike, Gajeel, and Laxus stand in formation, have their eyes shut, and not moving while the other competitors are. Toby and Yuka of Lamia Scale take down one of Quatro Puppy's members and score 1 point. The Trimen of Blue Pegasus takes down Araña Webb and Beth Vanderwood of Mermaid Heel, scoring 2 points. Lyon takes down a member of Quatro Puppy, scoring 1 point. Jura takes down another member of Quatro Puppy, scoring another point. Toby and Yuka are met with Bacchus when Sting arrives and takes him down with one blow scoring 5 points for Sabertooth. Kagura comes from behind and takes out Yuka and Toby with one blow, scoring 2 points. Sting goes away while Kagura has her back turned. Millianna takes care of Rocker and eliminates Quatro Puppy from the competition, scoring another point for Mermaid Heel. Makarov is getting angry while everyone in Fairy Tail viewing starts getting nervous. As for Master Mavis, she doesn't seem all that worried. "Are they mad? Have they forgotten then Lucy's freedom is at stake?" Makarov is tired of watching his children standing idly for no apparent reason. "They didn't forget. In fact, it's the very reason why we must remain calm and focused," Mavis replies. "Huh?" Makarov turns to Mavis. "Over the course of the tournament, I watched their opponents closely. I saw their strengths, spells, and behavioral patterns. And I committed them to memory. With these factors in mind, I ran through millions of calculations to find our strategy." "Wait, how many?" Macao is in awe. "Millions. Crazy," Wakaba said. "And so far, all of my predictions concerning the enemies' strategies and casualties, they are exactly as I thought," Mavis smirks. Makarov is in awe, witnessing Mavis Vermillion as the Fairy Tactician. "I then gave my battle plan to our team. Guaranteeing our comrades to victory. Operation Fairy Stars! Begin!" Gajeel, Erza, Gray, Laxus, and Spike open their eyes. They hear Master Mavis signaling them to move. They shout Roger in unison and depart. The commentators and the crowd are happy to see Fairy Tail mobilized. Rufus sees them from afar and decides to take out the Fairy Tail team with one spell. He uses Night of the Shooting Stars, Gajeel, Erza, and Gray dodges the attack. Laxus takes the hit as it powers him up. Spike's claws are glowing Sparkling Green and grab onto the attack and fly up. "Fairy Rage, you know where this came from?" "Two meters north. I sensed the spell from that direction." "What?" Rufus sees Spike in the air. Spike turns and sees Rufus dazed. "Gotcha, Energy Blast!" Spike uses his flames and combined the blast with Rufus Night of the Shooting Star. "What am I doing?" Rufus jumps out of the way by a few seconds. The house he stood on blows up. "I have to remember not to give him any magic power." "Don't worry, folks," The Pumpkin Head announces. "Any property damage taken will be handled with care by the King of Fiore. He'll help you recover from all damages!" The crowd cheers. Spike flies to his designation. Erza takes out Jenny of Blue Pegasus, scoring the first point. Gajeel takes out Eve of Blue Pegasus, scoring another point. Gajeel and Gray take out the remaining of the Trimen of Blue Pegasus, scoring two points in total. Ichiya sees his comrades defeated and promises to take over, however, Ichiya gets ambushed by Jura. Blue Pegasus is eliminated from the competition while Lamia Scale scores 5 points. Sherria defeats Risley Law, scoring another point for Lamia Scale. "Hey, Jura!" Spike shouts from the skies. "Oh my God, ladies and gentlemen! We're going to have a rematch!" Chapati gets excited. "A stellar performance from Day 1. Let's see if we'll have that stellar performance a second time," Yajima said. "Ready for Round 2, Fairy Dragon?" Jura gets excited. "Spike wants!" Spike increases his size to the size of Laxus; the spikes on his body become sharper. He's ripped and brolic. "Bring it on, bitch!" Jura said. Spike roars and soars down, throwing a punch at Jura. Jura throws one as well. Spike and Jura punch each other in the face and crashes into houses opposite each other. Jura gets up and spits some blood. "So, we're doing it?" "Yes, we are," Spike spits out some blood. Spike and Jura charge at each other and go hand-to-claw close-quarters combat. Spike and Jura throw punches and kicks while blocking each other's moves. Spike punches Jura in the gut, Jura grabs Spike's head and knee-strikes him. Spike does a flip but, Jura grabs his tail and slams him hard to the ground. "Gotcha now," Jura jumps back and concentrates. "Rumbling Fu-" Jura gets taken down by Laxus' Heavenward Halberg attack. "Not this time," Laxus said, getting in the mix. "Crap, this must have been an ambush," Jura is now in a heap of trouble. "Fairy Dragon! Ice Paladin Strike!" Spike lifts his claws and conjures ice missiles from the air. They're Sparkling Green with flames inside; He spawns a hundred of them. "Rock Mountain!" Jura is about to activate the spell and uses iron rock walls to block any attack from Spike. Laxus uses his lightning to navigate around the iron rock walls and nails a right hook on Jura. "He's all yours, Spike!" Laxus moves out of the way. "Launch!" Spike presses forward while the ice missiles go after Jura. This time, the Ice Paladin Strike hits Jura and takes him down, scoring 5 points for Fairy Tail. Lyon and Sherria are crying due to losing their biggest asset in the Grand Magic Games. Jura's body is half freezing, half hot. "Damn it.., I let my guard down..," Jura said. His excitement of fighting Spike made him lower his guard for opposing wizards. "Next time, a real rematch. A Real Round 2. I couldn't help but take advantage of the situation," Spike flies off. Laxus returns on his path to meet up with the next set of unfortunate souls. Gray finds Rufus in a library, getting ready to settle the score with him. "My next target is Kagura of Mermaid Heel," Spike gets attacked by Sherria from the skies. Spike lands on the rooftop of someone's house. "Sorry, you took out Jura, so now you have to deal with me," Sherria is pissed. "Oh, yeah! Sherria is going to bring down Spike the Fairy!" Chapati gets excited. "Spike took down Jura twice; what makes you think Sherria stands a chance?" Yajima asks. "Do you really think a dragon can defeat a God?" Chapati responds. "In all honesty, to defeat Spike the Fairy, you have to double or even triple-team him. He's too powerful," Yajima informs. "Mato, what do you think?" Chapati asks the Pumpkin Head. "It's a tough call. Spike has shown impressive feats during the Grand Magic Games. I want to say, Sherria may come out on top but, it'll be by ambush. No way someone in their right mind would take out Spike the Fairy on their own." "Thank you, Mato, for clarifying to the people," Yajima said. "Go, Sherria!" Chapati cheers. "The Sky God. Let's see who's the more powerful one. A Dragon or a God?" "She's all yours, Fairy Rage," Spike blinks a few times, and his pupils are orange. Fairy Rage takes control. "Perfect." Fairy Rage's claws are Sparkling Orange. "Wh-What?" Sherria was not expecting to take on Fairy Rage. She doesn't know how to feel. "You think Spike gets to have all the fun?" Fairy Rage chuckles. "I'm going to enjoy this." "Sky God, Boreas!" Sherria generates two spiraling black whirlwinds at Fairy Rage. Fairy Rage grabs the whirlwinds with his claws. "Thank you." "Huh?" Sherria becomes worried. Fairy Rage claps his claws and generates a Sparkling Orange Sky God Saber. Sparkling Orange Flames engulf the sword. "Noooooooo! Someone! Call the Royal Soldiers! I see child abuse!" Chapati announces while pointing at the lacrima vision. "Calm down, you creepy pedo," Yajima said. "This right here, I'm calling it, Tempest Shadow." Fairy Rage names the saber he created. "Your black winds and my flames. Together, no God would be able to counter it." "Sky God, Bellow!" Sherria unleashes her breath attack. Black winds, moving at a rapid speed at Fairy Rage. Fairy Rage slices through the breath attack. "Cyclone Tempest!" Fairy Rage twirls the saber forward. Sparkling Orange-Black Flare Winds are unleashed at Sherria. "Hah! Don't you know I can eat winds like your girlfriend, Wendy?" "Then go for it." Fairy Rage smirks. "I will!" Sherria tries to consume the Cyclone Tempest attack, but it scorches her instead. She screams while her mouth feels like it's on fire. "I figure you couldn't eat your own magic since it's infused with mine. My magic, when merged with another creates an interesting poison to those that try to consume it." "That's enough! Ice Make, Snow Dragon!" Lyon creates an Ice Dragon and attacks Fairy Rage with it. Fairy Rage flies up. "Two on one. This should be interesting." "Sherria, are you alright?" Lyon checks on Sherria. Sherria nods and uses her healing magic to restore her health. "Careful, he can use our magic against us," Sherria warns. "Point taken," Lyon turns to Fairy Rage. "I know we fought together during the Nirvana crisis. Now, you taken out Jura, this means war," Lyon is angry. "In the words of Jura; Bring it on, bitch!" Lyon and Sherria attack Fairy Rage. "Ice Spike!" An Orange ice spike rises from the ground; Sherria and Lyon jump out of the way. "How are you able to use Ice Magic?" Lyon asks. "Gray gave some ice magic to Spike for him to consume. Edolas trip, Spike defeated his counterpart over there." "Counterpart!?" Lyon and Sherria are confused and shocked about fighting a counterpart. "Ice Make, Eagle!" Lyon creates a swarm of Ice Eagles to attack Fairy Rage "Inferno Rage Roooooooooar!" Fairy Rage unleashes his fire breath, incinerating the ice eagles. "Sky God, Boreas!" Sherria tries using the attack again. "Not this time." Fairy Rage uses his breath to teleport the attack. It hits Lyon instead. "No, Lyon!" Sherria feels awful for striking at the man she loves. "Tempest Slicer!" Fairy Rage uses his saber to create Sparkling Orange-Black Flare air slicers hitting Sherria. Sherria uses her Sky God magic to create a tempest wall. Fairy Rage flies directly at the wall and punches Sherria in the face. "Disqualify that dragon! Disqualify that dragon for hurting my Sherria!" Chapati angrily shouts into the mic. "Yep, the dude is definitely a pedo," Mato said, unamused with Chapati's reaction. "I understand choosing your favorites but stay within your age limit, sheesh," Yajima said. "I will say, Fairy Rage is holding his own nicely against two powerful wizards of Lamia Scale," Chapati said. "But please, someone disqualify the dragon!" Fairy Rage grabs Sherria's leg and throws her down at Lyon. Lyon catches her and falls on his back. "He's too strong," Sherria admits. "Don't give up. We can do win this; together," Lyon gives Sherria an encouraging smile. "Yea," Sherria nods and heals Lyon. "Lightning Inferno Flame!" Fairy Rage lifts his claw at the sky, generating large Sparkling Orange Lightning Flame Orbs. "Ice Make! Blizzard!" Lyon uses his magic to create a blizzard. "Sky God, Bellow!" Sherria unleashes her wind breath again. This time, it intercedes with Lyon's blizzard in a unison raid. "Now! Ice Make Dragon! Ape! Tiger!" Lyon creates an ice Dragon, Ape, and Tiger to attack Fairy Rage. All three ice creations succeeded in attacking Fairy Rage. He gets knocked down to the ground. "Yes! He's down!" Sherria cheers. "Perfect timing." Fairy Rage smiles. "What?!" Sherria and Lyon are perplexed by Fairy Rage's statement. "Ice Make! Seven Slice Dance!" Gray creates ice blades on his elbows and strikes Sherria and Lyon from behind. The two didn't expect Gray to come from behind. "Darn you!" Lyon is livid. He's on the ground. "Wait, that means you defeated Rufus?" Sherria asks. "Meteor Rain!" Fairy Rage unleashes Sparkling Orange Lightning Flame Orbs upon Lyon and Sherria. "Shit," Lyon said in defeat. Lyon and Sherria are bombarded with Fairy Rage's Meteor Rain. Lightning Flame orbs explode like small grenades around them. The two scream in pain and crashes into someone's house. The house collapsed on impact. Fairy Tail scores 2 points, eliminating Lamia Scale. "Man! Just like that, Fairy Tail defeats Lamia Scale and continues to rack up points. My Sherria, defeated in an ambushed assault!" Chapati sniffs. "Folks, here are the scores so far in today's final event," Yajima reveals the scoreboard. Fairy Tail - 56 points - 1 Leader & 4 Members Mermaid Heel - 45 points - 1 Leader & 1 Member Sabertooth - 42 points- 1 leader & 3 Members Lamia Scale - 37 points - Eliminated Blue Pegasus - 29 points - Eliminated Quatro Puppy - 14 points - Eliminated "Fairy Tail has a commanding lead for first place. However, taking down Fairy Dragon will be the most difficult challenge yet!" The Pumpkin Head said. "Spike, how are you feeling?" Gray walks up to him. Fairy Rage gives Spike back control. He had his fun. "I"m good. I still have much left in the tank." "Good. Fairy Rage, what about you?" "I'm good. We're still a bit off since what happened with the Eclipse Gate incident." "Alright, let's find more to take down," Gray separates and runs in a different direction. "Let's fly," Spike takes off, looking for his next opponent. Spike flies downtown and sees his next opponent. "Kagura." Kagura is walking and keeping her guard up. She hears Spike swooping down and jumps behind him. "Nice try, I won't allow you to get one on me," Kagura is ready for combat. "Darn, so much for that," Spike conjures his Sparkling Green Metallic Flame Sword. Kagura and Spike engage in a sword battle. Kagura uses her sheath and proves to be difficult for Spike in a sword battle. Spike uses ingenuity to switch sword hands to punch Kagura in the face. Kagura uses her gravitational magic as a boost to charge at Spike. "Not this time," Spike uses his fire breath to teleport Kagura. Kagura gets teleported behind Spike and strikes him in the back before Spike can deliver a blow. "She's definitely quick." "Fairy Rage. I'm impressed with your physique." "You are a difficult opponent. We're not swordsdragon, but we try to get better." "Flame Sword Slicer!" Spike slashes his flame sword at Kagura. She jumps back and repels one of the flame sword slice attacks. Kagura presses onward to attack Spike. Spike uses his sword to block some attacks but, his sword shatters. Kagura strikes Spike with her sheath. Spike feels the full force of the attack and still stands. "A few more of those, and it should keep him down." Kagura thought to herself. "Phew phew," Spike mimics his claws like guns, shooting Sparkling Green Magic bullets at Kagura. Kagura repels each one, making her way to strike Spike again. "Ice Spi-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!" Spike wails and holds his head. Kagura stops her pursuit to see why Spike is wailing. Everyone in Crocus wonders why Spike is screaming the way he is. Erza, Gray, Laxus, and Gajeel are now worried about Spike. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!" Spike wails louder. "Hey.., are you okay..?" Kagura walks up to him. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!" Spike falls to his knees, panting heavily. "What...was...that? What...did...I...sense..?" Spike is shaking. Kagura checks on Spike. "What did you sensed?" "Something big, corrupted, and powerful. We sensed it. We never sensed anything of it before. I can't describe what I felt." "I'm scared of what I sensed. Did you sense it?" Spike asks Kagura. "No. I didn't sense anything. I know that you are not faking it." "We'll have our fight later," Spike teleports himself away from Kagura. "What did he sensed?" Kagura thought to herself. She continues onward in finding her next opponent after Spike departed from the battle. Spike lands elsewhere in Crocus to recover. He sits down near a bench. "What was that, Fairy Rage?" "I told you, I never sensed it before. Whatever we sensed, it's massive." "That'll be me," Minerva blindside Spike with her Territory Explosion magic. Spike lands hard on the ground with a bloody nose. "You're the one that brutally beat up my sister." "The Heartfillia. I obliged the game rules," Minerva chuckles. "I'm going to make you eat dirt when I'm through with you!" Spike glares at Minerva. "Kinda cute that a dragon, like you, believe you're a threat. In actuality, you have a tantrum problem." "I don't make threats. I keep my promises." "Touchy," Minerva taunts Spike. Millianna jumps into the fray, trying to use her magic to bind Minerva. Minerva uses her Territory Explosion to subdue Milliana's feeble attempt. Minerva picks up Millianna. "I'm not through with you," Minerva encases Millianna with her Territory Drain Sphere. It'll keep her active for the fruition of Minerva's plan. "Explosion Catacly-" Spike sees Minerva teleporting away with Millianna encased in the sphere. "Crap, right before I used my magic." "You feeling better?" "Not 100% but, I'll keep going. I think Minerva helped me feel a bit at ease with what we sensed. Let's fly," Spike takes off and searches for Minerva. Erza arrives at her destination, where Mavis predicts Minerva will arrive. She's worried about Spike's condition after seeing him wail the way he did. Kagura catches up on Erza and attacks. Erza believes that Kagura may have something to do with Spike. "What did you do to Spike?" Erza sternly asks. "I've done nothing to him. One minute we were fighting, the next thing I know, he wailed. All I know is that he sensed something terrifying. Something only him and Rage sensed," Kagura responds. Kagura and Erza fight each other with their swords. Erza uses her twin swords while Kagura continues to use her sheath. Erza wonders if Twilight Sparkle has anything to do with Spike's wailing. Kagura keeps the pressure, knowing that Erza is hiding Jellal. The two continue their battle until Minerva intervenes, throwing them aside. Minerva made it clear that Fairy Tail and Mermaid Heel humiliated Sabertooth in the games. She intends on saving the guild's grace by defeating Erza and Kagura. Minerva fights Erza and Kagura. Spike flies when he sees a large beam of magic energy skyrocketing. "There. That's where Minerva has to be." "Or someone else. Maybe Orga of Sabertooth." "Nope, that's Laxus' opponent," Spike flies where the beam of light was. Minerva used an incantation with immense magic power, shattering the area she fought Erza and Kagura. Erza and Kagura have some minor bruises and clothes a bit tattered from the impact. They are still standing, ready to fight. "How fascinating; I'm afraid that I have underestimated your strengths," Minerva refers to Erza and Kagura. "Engaging you two personally has taught me many things. You two have so much power raging beneath the surface. Continuing on like this will take us nowhere. So, let's change up the game a bit," Minerva brings forth Millianna in the Terrirtoy Drain Sphere. Kagura and Erza are in shock and worry about the condition of Millianna trapped in the sphere. "I found a stray kitten." "Millianna!" Erza and Kagura shout. They give scornful looks at Minerva. Minerva takes delight at the scornful faces. "The sphere she's in constantly drains magic power. It's excruciatingly painful," Minerva sadistically explains. "Surrendering won't save her." "But this will!" Spike soars down and lands a punch at Minerva's face. "Spike! Are you-" Spike cuts Erza's speech. "I'm fine. I'm going to make this girl eat dirt!" Spike powers up. Minerva gets up. "How dare you interrupt my plans." "Lady, I'm going to give you the thrashing you deserve for inflicting pain on my sister!" Spike takes control of Fairy Rage. His eyes are a blend of orange and green. "This is for Lucy Heartfillia!" "I'm going to show Sting and Rogue how to kill a dragon!" Minerva powers up. She uses her Territory Explosion inside the draining sphere, knocking out Millianna in the process. What Minerva plans on doing is using what she has to her advantage. Erza and Kagura turn to Minerva. They are livid. The two nod and attack Minerva with Spike. Minerva realizes that having three opponents is fun when using their anger and not using their technicality. She blocks certain attacks from Kagura and Erza. Spike conjures a fireball. "Inferno Heat Wave!" Spike creates a heat cannon and shoots it at Minerva. "Is that all you got?" Minerva uses her magic to ride on Inferno Heat Wave to use her explosion magic on Spike. Spike falls back hard. Kagura comes from behind when Minerva uses her magic to switch positions with Erza. Erza was quick enough to block the attack. "Careful, you may hurt someone," Minerva sneers. Erza and Kagura leap and attack Minerva. She uses her explosion magic on them, sending the two hurling back a bit. "Lightning Inferno Flame! Demolition Fist!" Spike's claw is emitting Sparkling Orange-Green Lightning Flames. Minerva uses a tactic of Spike's and switches places with him. Spike miss the strike on Minerva. Erza requips in her Black Wing Armor to strike Minerva. "Perfect," Minerva smiles sadistically. She uses her magic to switch positions with Erza and takes her sword. Kagura moves at a fast speed to attack Minerva with her sheath sword. Minerva holds her own by using Erza's sword. Erza spawns another sword to attack Minerva. However, Minerva leaps in the air, causing Erza to strike Kagura. Kagura deflected the attack from Erza. Spike lunges at Minerva, getting ready to use an Inferno Freezing Fist when Minerva uses her magic to switch positions with Spike and stabs him from behind. Everyone watching is in shock and horror to see Spike the Fairy stabbed in the back. The commentators, the crowds, the guilds eliminated, and all of Fairy Tail watching are silent. Mavis Vermillion didn't see this outcome in any of her calculations. "SPIKE!" Erza horrifyingly shouts. She drops her sword. "What was that about making me eat dirt?" Minerva chuckles. She yanks the sword out hard as blood splatters a bit. Spike falls to his knees. Minerva stabbed Spike on the left side of his back. The fighting stops, and Erza rushes to Spike. She holds him dearly while Spike reverts to his size. "Spike.., Spiiiiiiiike!" Erza is in tears, seeing how deep the sword stabbed into him. She has blood all over her hands. Spike is having a hard time breathing. Kagura is silent about the situation; She's in a trance. "Sis..," Spike pants heavily. "I'm sorry.., I tried..," Spike pants from the attack. "Brother..," Erza cries. "You call that tantrum baby brother? Oh, you must be feeling like a failure for protecting or yet saving him from this battle. You are a poor excuse of a sister!" Minerva taunts. She scores a point for defeating Spike the Fairy in battle. That statement from Minerva reawakens a similar type of field for Kagura. Since Kagura was unable to save her brother or protect him during a horrible night many years ago, it enrages her to a decree seeing a what-if scenario if the roles were switched. Kagura knows what it's like losing a brother in an instant. Spike couldn't utter a word as he passes out from the pain. It was too much for him to bear. Erza screams after feeling Spike's body going limp. She gets up and looks at Minerva furiously, a glare that means death upon you. "Oh, my. That's a new look, Erza. I find it relishing and pleasurable." "Don't savor it! The next thing I'm going to do is tear your heart out, piece by piece! You'll rue the day of shedding my brother's blood like that!" Erza angrily powers up. "It's called Team Survivor. He didn't survive the battle. Therefore, I declare victor over the most powerful member of the entire Grand Magic Games," Minerva smiles. "Now, I have two more, and the rest of the games will belong to Sabertooth." Kagura's anger is triggered when she imagines her brother in the same circumstance. Beth Vanderwood, Araña Webb, and Risley Law arrive to take Millianna to the infirmary. "Take the dragon too! He needs medical help!" Kagura commands her guild to take Spike out of harm's way. "Understood," Risley carries Spike away from the battle. "I can't believe someone this small has so much magic power," Araña Webb said while carrying Millianna. "What worries me is what did the dragon sensed earlier," Beth Vanderwood says. "Since when you cared about the dragon? He knows Jellal as well," Minerva sinisterly smiles, hoping to use Kagura's anger as an advantage. "Congratulations..," Kagura is gripping her sword to unsheath it for the first time. "Your name is on my list for my Archenemy!" Kagura unsheaths her sword and attacks Minerva in an instant. Minerva couldn't counter and feels the full force of the attack. She's amazed to see how quick Kagura moves, and figures a way to use Kagura's offense to take out Erza. "That's for defiling a brother-sister relationship!" "Second Origin!" Erza powers up more, using her anger for Minerva intensifies. She requips into a new armor. "Nakagami Armor!" Minerva now sees the full force of the two. She decides to use their wrath against each other. "Bring it, you two. I don't have all day." "It's over," Kagura and Erza say in unison. With the Nakagami Armor Erza uses, she wields and sword that is unrivaled and unmatched. The Armor dispels any attacks Minerva throws. Kagura comes from behind and attacks Minerva. The Archenemy sword cuts and scars Minerva's back. Minerva tries to use her magic but, Erza continues to dispel Minerva in every way possible. "No.., stop," Minerva walks back a little, realizing that she already lost the moment she stabbed Spike in the back, viciously captured and destroyed Millianna, and taunting Erza as a failure to protect her brother. "I will have revenge!" Erza declares. "Stay back.., you've won this..," A last-minute thought comes to mind that can ensure Sabertooths victory. "I surrender to you, Kagura of Mermaid Heel." Erza roars and strikes Minerva viciously. Minerva suffers many bruises from the impact. Mermaid Heel scores 5 points even though Erza delivered the assault. "Now, time to fulfill my brother's promise," Erza walks up to Minerva. "No more! I am defeated!" Minerva pleas for her life. Erza grabs Minerva's hair and pulls her over. She grabs a handful of dirt and made Minerva eat it. Erza requips into her normal attire. "Kagura, you want to fight me?" Erza turns to Kagura. "Is it true? Does Spike know who Jellal is?" Kagura asks. "He does. He knows the good side of Jellal. Are you Simon's sister?" Kagura's eyes widen. "Yes. How did you know?" "If Spike was here, he would have figured it out. He's good with putting pieces together. Minerva said something about Jellal and Spike, maybe trying to throw you off. I'm sorry for your loss, but Jellal didn't kill Simon. At the time, Jellal was possessed by a Zeref following-cult. Simon saved my life when I was trying to save my friend's life. I was weak at the time, and if I were stronger, Simon will be alive today." Kagura glares at Erza, ready to fight her. She still grips her Archenemy sword. After a few moments, she relaxes while tears stream on her face. "I'm in no condition to fight. I know what it's like to lose your brother in an instant. At Rosemary Village, it was the last time I saw Simon before a child hunt began late at night." Erza gasps. She looks at Kagura thoroughly. "It's you. I've seen you before." "Huh?" Kagura is confused. "I lived in Rosemary Village as well. The night when everything changed." Kagura relives her memories in Rosemary Village. The raid, the slaughter, and the child hunt. The screams, the anguish, and death at every corner. Kagura, when she was small, was looking for her brother. Erza took and hid her away from the raiders that night, saving Kagura from a fate worse than death. "At the tower of heaven, Simon kept thinking about you. Hoping you were safe and healthy. During the time leading today, I've kept you in my mind," Erza said. Kagura is in tears. The shocking revelation about Simon and the one who rescued her all those years ago. Erza hugs Kagura while she let her emotions out. A lot of years of holding in the hatred and pain is finally loose. "I hand over this fight to you, Erza Scarlet," Kagura said in tears. Fairy Tail scores 5 points. "I hope your brother makes a speedy recovery." "I hope so too," Erza worries about Spike's condition. "Can you do me a favor?" "Yes." "Check on Spike for me," Erza still has to compete in the Grand Magic Games. "I will," Kagura lets go of Erza and runs to the infirmary as fast as she can. These are the scores so far in today's final event: Fairy Tail - 65 points - 1 Leader - 3 Members Mermaid Heel - 50 points - Eliminated Sabertooth - 44 points - 3 Members Lamia Scale - 37 points - Eliminated Blue Pegasus - 29 points - Eliminated Quatro Puppy - 14 points - Eliminated Laxus and Orga meet at Crocus Square. A Lightning Dragon Slayer versus a Lightning God Slayer. The two are testing the waters. "Well, the games just got interesting. Fairy Dragon is down and out. That makes it easier for me and the twin dragons to take the rest of you bums out," Orga said. "You should learn how to do the math. Fairy Tail has 65 points. This battle is over," Laxus said. "Any team that succeeds the first-place team in a comeback will be granted 15 bonus points. That's how we will win the final event," Orga said. "Is that true, Mato?" Chapati asks. "Yes. It's implemented in case the Games go one-sided," The Pumpkin Head confirms. "Wow, what a surprise," Yajima said. "That means Sabertooth can still win the Grand Magic Games by upsetting Fairy Tail and scoring the much-needed 15 bonus points to win. It'll give them a total of 68 points. More than enough to defeat and retain their number one ranking." "We've seen plenty of surprises. I still can't believe Fairy Dragon is no longer competing after getting stabbed in the back," Chapati admits. "You can't win every battle at times," Yajima states. "Is that so?" Laxus and Orga see the lacrima vision above. Gajeel defeats Rogue in battle as the Iron Shadow Dragon Slayer. Fairy Tail scores another point. "One dragon down. One more to go." "I'm going to enjoy this," Orga shoots his Black Lightning at Laxus. Laxus absorbs Orga's Black Lightning. "Dragon Slayer Secret Arts!" Laxus charges forward. "Lightning Dragon God Roaring Thunder!" Laxus punches Orga with a fusion of Black Lightning and his Lighting, which releases a large amount of lightning that heavily damages and electrocutes Orga. Orga is defeated after one hit. "Never mess with Fairy Tail. Never mess with my brother," Laxus refers to Spike. Gajeel, Gray, Laxus, and Erza meet up and search every corner for the last member of Sabertooth. Sting, the only competitor left. It takes them two hours to search for Sting after the sunset. This whole time, Sting was sitting, reserving his time and energy to face all four members of Fairy Tail. "We'll fight you one-on-one. So pick someone," Gray said. "Where's Fairy Dragon? I was expecting to fight him first," Sting is getting cocky. "Do not shame his name!" Erza threatens. "Then I'll do one better. I'll face all four of you at once," Sting powers up. Erza, Gray, Gajeel, and Laxus stand united, waiting for Sting to deliver the first punch. After losing Lector thanks to his former Guild Master last night gave Sting more power to thrive. Sting is hesitant to fight all four members of Fairy Tail. All he has to do is win, and he'll see Lector again. Sting falls to his knees and surrenders. He can't go forth fighting Fairy Tail. With Sting surrendering, Fairy Tail scores the final point. These are the final scores: Fairy Tail - 68 points - Winner Mermaid Heel - 50 points - Eliminated Sabertooth - 44 points - Eliminated Lamia Scale - 37 points - Eliminated Blue Pegasus - 29 points - Eliminated Quatro Puppy - 14 points - Eliminated "It's over! The winner of the Grand Magic Games is Fairy Tail!" Chapati announces. Everyone in Fairy Tail cheers and cries happily. After years of suffering and being mocked, Fairy Tail is back to being the number one rank guild. During the celebration, Spike wakes up in the infirmary. "What happened?" Spike looks around. He flinches, remembering the backstab Minerva gave him. "Did I die..?" "No," Kagura answers. "You had a deep wound with the sword but, it wasn't fatal. It was severe for you to pass out." "So, what happened?" Spike asks. "Erza and I teamed up to bring down Minerva. Erza made Minerva eat dirt for you." Spike chuckles. "Thanks for doing that." "She deserved it. Minerva committed vile atrocities to Lucy Heartfillia and you. I do have news for you. Fairy Tail won the Grand Magic Games. The final score is 68 points." "Awesome," Spike gets up. "Fairy Rage, how are you holding up?" "Fine for the most part. Did Sherria came by to heal us?" "She did. She did for the love of her friend, Wendy," Kagura said. An hour ago, Sherria arrived to use her Sky God Healing Magic to cure Spike's wounds. "I'll thank her when I see her. For now, I'm going to celebrate with my friends," Spike uses his fire breath to teleport himself to Erza. Erza is with Gajeel, Laxus, and Gray, watching a tender moment of Sting reuniting with Lector. "Hey, guys," Spike is behind his friends. "Spike!" Erza hugs Spike lovingly. She thought she was going to lose him earlier. "Fairy Dragon, you're looking better," Gajeel said. "You did well out there. How are you feeling?" Laxus asks. "Better. Sherria healed me while I was recovering. That's what Kagura told me." "Good. Don't make us worried like that again!" Gray angrily shouts. Spike chuckles. "Gray, your clothes," Spike points at Gray. "Dammit! Not again!" Gray is in his underwear. "I wonder how Salamander and the others are doing," Gajeel said. "I could check on them," Spike said. "Need some magic energy?" Gajeel asks. "Yea. I'm low on magic," Spike answers. "Here you go, bro!" Laxus unleashes his lighting on Spike. He watches Spike consuming his lightning magic. "Ah, much better. Thanks, Laxus." "You're welcome. Now, go find our friends," Laxus said. "Sure thing," Spike nods. He teleports to where Lucy is.
