After that Axel, Irene, and Erza left the room and asked Erik to arrange a room for F.Lucy. Axel had the thoughts that F.Lucy will run away and would try to prevent the events from happening and would end up dying. Axel didn't mind that at all if someone knew this they might call him inhuman or evil but according to him, everyone should know their limits.
For Axel this was not a world of Fiction, it was the real world for him. So if someone dies then he can only blame himself for being weak. Axel and the girls returned to the room and after having dinner he was about to go to sleep but someone started banging the door. Axel knew who that was... it was Nastu along with Makarov and others.
All the girls re-equipped in their usual clothes and Axel answered the door after he re-equipped his clothes too. Natsu immediately barges in and starts to tell the story to Erza about what happened. Even if she beforehand what would happen she didn't stop Natsu and listened intently. She was matching both the stories since she wanted to know the difference between the two timelines.
Erza: I know you want to go and save her, but I can't let you go... at least not now.
Natsu: How can you say that?? She is our family...
Erza: I know... but if you barge in now they will be expecting you and there is nothing to divert their attention. I am saying that wait for now... when the Game starts tomorrow use that time to sneak into the castle.
Everyone nods hearing Erza's plan, even Natsu understood what Erza wanted to say.
Erza: Natsu, Wendy, Meredy, and Lily you guys will be sneaking into the castle. Yeah right... take Happy and Carla too.
Natsu popped his fist in the air and started to dance and was immediately brought to the floor when Erza smacked him on the head.
Erza: In place of Natsu, Mira will be participating in the Games. Meredy that is a stealth mission so keep Natsu on a short leash. Now let's see what happens tomorrow...
~NEXT DAY~ (Domas Flau)
All the teams have already gathered in the arena waiting for the final instructions for the game. Mato popped out and started to explain the game, they named it the Grand Magic War Games. The teams would go out in the city and battle, getting points for each defeated opponents and if you defeat the opponent's leader then you gain 5 points. Soon Mato gave the start signal declaring the start of the match.
Ur: So what's the plan??
Mira: I don't remember, the first Master made some strategies but I forgot.
Ultear: No problem, all of us will move out and defeat whoever we come against.
Ur: Works fine with me.
Mira, Ultear, and Ur went towards different directions.
Gajeel: Are you sure that it won't be problematic??
Laxus: Who could defeat any one of them??
Gajeel just nodded because he too knew how strong Axel and his group was so there was no need to be worried about them.
Ur was walking casually when suddenly Jenny came out of a corner. Seeing Ur, Jenny immediately turned around and tried to run away.
Jenny: Oh shi...
Before Jenny could even finish that she was turned into a human popsicle. Ur defeated Jenny and got one point. Ur walked some more and found Sherria and Shelly were running towards some other directions. Ur appeared behind them and grabbed both of their shoulders.
Ur: Well, where you might be going??
Both turned to see the person behind them and before they could even react they frozen in an ice cube giving two more points to Ur.
Mira was walking around when she stumbled across Kagura and Minerva. Both of them didn't notice Mira because her Magic output couldn't be sensed by normal level mages. Both Kagura and Minerva were about to fight when they were interrupted.
Mira: Mind if I join in too...??
Kagura and Minerva turned to see Mira, Minerva knew that she couldn't face Mira, Ultear, Ur, or Jura. So she did what she thought would be best, she tried to escape using her space Magic but she felt someone grabbed her shoulder.
Mira: Where are you going to??
Both Kagura and Minerva were shocked by Mira's speed. They couldn't even blink before Mira appeared and grabbed Minerva. Minerva tried to access her Magic but she was unable to. Mira transformed into her Satan Soul form and smiled at Minerva.
Mira: Darkness Stream.
A huge pillar of darkness erupted from the ground engulfing everything even Mira, Kagura sensed this jumped back. She knew that even she couldn't face something powerful like this. Soon the darkness disappeared and Mira came out without a scratch while Minerva dropped beside her knocked out. Minerva was still alive but she was defeated giving Mira 5 points.
Mira looked over to where Kagura ran off. Kagura turned a corner and released a sigh, thinking that she was able to lose Mira. Kagura was brought out of her thoughts by a sweet voice.
Mira: What happened you look tired.
Kagura recognized the voice and immediately jumped away, she knew she couldn't run away and a frontal confrontation is the only option.
Kagura: It seems that I can't run away from you...
Mira: No, you cant. It's quite unfortunate that I found you.
Mira still had her gentle smile on her face, this is what scared Kagura more. Kagura was a strong woman but she would always respect the person who was stronger than her. Mira was definitely stronger than her and she knew it.
Mira: Now, why don't we have a fight... oh, and please unsheath your sword. I don't want you holding back for my sake...
Kagura was conflicted about what to do, she knew unsheathing her sword was not at all a small matter and Mira was no normal opponent. If she feels offended by it then it won't end up nice for her or her Guild. Kagura finally decided and unsheathed her sword and a magic circle appeared above Mira. The gravity increased tremendously but Mira didn't even react.
Kagura saw this but didn't stop and attacked Mira, Mira fended off the attack with her claws. After exchanging a few blows both of them backed away while Kagura was staring at her own sword.
Mira: Your way of the sword is nice... maybe you can even match Erza in a sword competition. I respect you Kagura but we both know that this battle should end.
Kagura: I look forward to our next fight.
Kagura and Mira both raced towards each other and Kagura dropped on the ground. Mira even defeated Kagura and gained 5 more points for Fairy Tail.
Ultear was also walking casually when she felt a powerful aura and found Jura and Org standing against each other. Ultear decided to give them a nice greeting. Several Ice vines popped out of the ground and raced towards Jura and Org. Both of them noticed the vines and backed away but Org met with Ultear's fist and was knocked out without even using his magic.
Ultear: Now that the nuisance is taken care of... why don't we find who is stronger between the two of us??
Jura: That was unnecessary, obviously it is you.
Ultear released her magical pressure and the whole area was frozen solid in Ice. All the spectators saw this and they felt that it was like they were in some mountain region. The whole stadium was filled by snowfall, the spectators were having a hard time to maintain the heat.
Ultear: Ice-Make: Frozen World.
The cold became even dominating even the sun was covered by clouds, Erza sighed and facepalmed seeing how blatantly Ultear used such a spell in an arena filled with spectators.
Makarov: How much Magic did she use to use a spell-like this??
Mavis: This Magic can change the whole climate of a region... not a simple spell.
Erza: You have no idea...
Back in the arena, Jura was already cowering in cold, Jura didn't know if he had somehow angered Axel's girls or what. First Mira scared him with lava and now Ultear is scaring him with ice. Jura just decided to give up and surrender.
Jura: I surrender.
As soon as Jura accepted defeat the cold weather disappeared leaving only the Ice. Ultear got 6 points in defeating both Org and Jura.
In meantime, Ur has already defeated Rufus and Sting of Sabertooth getting two more points. Laxus fought with Rouge and defeated him and the final opponent was Millianna who was defeated by Gajeel ending the War.
Mato: This is incredible... Fairy Tail wins the Grand Magic Games this year with a huge lead.
After that fireworks happened and all the spectators started the cheer along with the Fairy Tail members. All of them went down to congratulate their members. After that Mato started to declare the scores.
Fairy Tail took the first position, Mermaid Heel took the second position while Sabertooth got the 3rd position.
It was a nice atmosphere, everyone was cheering and celebrating with utter happiness when suddenly a pillar of light invaded the sky. All the celebrations stopped and all of them looked in that direction while Erza had a serious look n her face.
Erza: Looks like it has started...
