Capítulo 18: Kingdom of Fiore, Crocus, Grand Magic Games Arena...
In the one week where Goku was training his students, Blue Pegasus was also doing their own thing. To make the match sound exciting, they sent out flyers about the 1v5 all around Ishgar and to their surprise, everyone was thrilled. Tickets were sold around Crocus as within the next minute, they were already selling like hotcakes.
Everyone knew about Fairy Tail's triumphant victory into becoming the number one guild again, so they were excited to see the new member rock their world. Knowing that it's Fairy Tail, they were expecting to see the new member haul ass and give Blue Pegasus a run for their jewels.
"This is exciting! I wasn't there when Fairy Tail reclaimed their crown as Fiore's number one guild so I missed out on all the action. But I'm glad I bought my ticket to see this!" a mage in training said.
"Yeah, no kidding. I've heard Fairy Tail recruited a new member just after their victory at the Grand Magic Games. Rumor has it this newbie beaten the famous Fire Dragon Slayer, Natsu Dragneel."
"Get out of town! You for real? That means this new guy is no joke!"
"Hehe, but can he withstand five members of Blue Pegasus? They're not a joke either."
"You know, it's weird. Haven't you guys wondered why it became a 1v5? Why not even the odds and make it a 5v5?"
"Good question, babe. I'm guessing it's because Fairy Tail picked up a strong person and Blue Pegasus saw how strong he is."
"Yeah, but why make it a 1v5? What will Blue Pegasus gain from having number advantage?"
"One of their members, Jenny Realight, must've planned out everything."
"The current Miss Fiore?"
"Yeah. I've heard from a friend that it'll boost ratings and sales for her and I've also heard of a wager."
"Ooh, wager? I wonder what that could be..."
"Well, we're about to find out, shortly."
Over at the private seats where guilds spectate other guilds before their match, both Fairy Tail & Blue Pegasus were present. Goku & Natsu were looking the crowd all shocked. To think this little wager match could spark many people's interest were beyond them. But, they sort of had it coming.
After all, during the seven-year hiatus, Fairy Tail became a joke until they clapped back hard. Dazzling everyone's minds with their performance. They remembered why Fairy Tail was well known throughout Ishgar & to not doubt them, the people who supported Fairy Tail came to cheer them up.
"Is this place crowded or what! I didn't expect a huge audience for this 1v5." Lisanna said, widening her eyes on seeing the number of people.
"Word spreads fast when something as interesting as this takes place. I've heard that Blue Pegasus was promoting the heck out of this match. Either that or it was coming from the guy who reports for Sorcerer Weekly, Jason." said Erza, acting as though she wasn't surprised.
"I've also heard a rumor about this match winning in Blue Pegasus' favor. Mainly Jenny."
"And what would that be, Mira?" Makarov asked.
"Sales that'll make everyone praise her like a god or something. She is a model after all."
"Not to mention Goku becomes Jenny's boyfriend if they win. Speaking of Goku, how do you guys fare against him anyway?" Levy asked.
"Learning from him is a treat, but we're still outclassed. Like way outclassed." Gray admits, "Sensing people's energy is a cool thing but what good does it do when none of us can't land a single hit on Goku..."
"Even Juvia was surprised about the smooth movements he did on everyone. Juvia was certain my darling Gray could land at least one hit." Juvia said as she spoke in third-person.
"Well, Goku's full of surprises. I just hope he knows what he's doing when he battles Blue Pegasus." said Levy.
"Why hope, Levy? There's no need to do such a thing. We all know he's going to wipe the floor with them." a mysterious voice said.
Hearing that voice made everyone look to their left at the staircase. They all saw Laxus & the Thunder God Tribe behind them. Making forth with their guildmates, they arrived on time to see Goku's match.
"Laxus!" Makarov said.
"Hey there, Old Man." Laxus waved at his grandpa.
"What took you guys so long?" Wendy asked.
"We got held up on this one mission that took us a while," Freed responded to Wendy's question.
"More like we had to take care of strange things that took us a while," Evergreen adds.
"What do you mean?" Elfman wondered as he turned to Evergreen.
"Long story short, there were strange occurrences that interrupted our mission. So, with every ounce of our power, we had to put up an actual fight against them. It almost drew out all of Laxus' full power." Bickslow said.
"No way. You, Laxus? Bwuahaha!" hysterically, Natsu fell on his back laughing.
"Hmph, if you were to see what we were up against, then you would've used your full power too, Natsu." Laxus taunts.
"Oh, really? Hehe! I hate to rain on your parade, Laxus but you're wrong on that one! Thanks to Goku, I've gotten a lot stronger. So much stronger that I could probably kick your ass!"
"Natsu, it's only been a week. Give it some time to adjust then you can say what you said to Laxus... We still need more practice either way." Lucy claims.
"Gah... I know, Lucy... I know..." Natsu pouted.
"So about the new guy, Goku... I wonder how he's going to display his abilities in front of us. Considering how he beat Natsu so easily..." Freed wondered.
"We're about to find out, Freed. Oh, and by the way, Laxus. Do you think Goku's stronger than you? It took all of Natsu's strength to stop you that one time and Goku destroy him in one blow." Bickslow asked as he leaned over to Laxus.
"Uh! Mind your words, Bickslow! Don't say absurd things like that! Of course, he's not stronger than our leader! He'll eat him up for breakfast, lunch, & dinner!"
"(I wouldn't count on that...)" Laxus thought to himself as he was seeing Freed going at it with Bickslow.
"Ooh, I see Blue Pegasus over there, you guys!" Goku said as he was leaning on the rail to spot them.
"Oh, look. It looks like things are about to go underway..." Gray said as he saw the announcers getting to their seat.
Over at the announce table, things were finally about to settle. There were only two announcers. One commentated from the latest Grand Magic Games with Jason of Sorcerer Weekly & the model of Blue Pegasus. The second announcer was a special guest...
"Welcome everyone to the Grand Magic Games Arena! I'm your announcer, Chapati Lola! I'm the same one who commentated the guild free for all not too long ago and today I'll be announcing this special match!"
The crowd cheers...
"Now, usually we do multiple guilds vs guilds battles but due to a strange request from Blue Pegasus, this once in a lifetime battle will construct in a 1v5! With battle comes wages, so I'll explain what they are. If Blue Pegasus wins, then the new member of Fairy Tail becomes Jenny Realight's boyfriend! For Fairy Tail's wager, we have yet to find out."
When the crowd heard about Blue Pegasus' wager, they got jealous. Mostly the boys who were huge fans of the current Miss Fiore. Hearing such a wild wager, the fanboys clenched their fist as their eyes sparked in flames...
"Are you kidding? To become Realight's boyfriend is like a dream come true!" a fanboy who praises Jenny on a daily basis said.
"Ahh, that lucky dog! I wish that were me in his shoes. I would've loved to rock Miss Jenny's world."
"It almost makes me want to boo Blue Pegasus. But seeing as though my crush is in that guild, I just can't. I'll be cheering for you and your guild, Jenny my love!"
As the crowd was speculating Blue Pegasus & Fairy Tail's new member, Chapati was ready to announce the guest of honor who will be commentating with him. Many people knew who this person was, especially Lucy Heartfilia...
"Now, joining me aside is the one, the only, Princess Hisui!" Chapati promotes her.
As Hisui made her entrance, the crowd went crazy. Waving at the people made the boys fall in love with them. The girls were envious about Hisui's looks but were cheering her because she was royalty. When she made her way to the table, she saw Fairy Tail and smiled at them. They smiled and waved back.
"Man, Princess Hisui's looking as pretty as ever. I'm so jealous of her looks!" Lucy said.
"Not only that, but she's also... Hehehe..." Makarov's nose was bleeding.
"Your nose... Master..." Erza was looking at Makarov's perverted face hopelessly.
"Welcome to this fine working environment, Princess! We're all happy you could make it!" Chapati said.
"Thank you for having me here," Hisui responded with a smile as she waved at her people.
"The honor is ours, Princess Hisui. Now, as we're all aware, you're probably just as excited for this match to set way, right? And given how you're good friends with Lucy Heartfilia, I'm assuming you're going to cheer for Fairy Tail?"
"Yes. I wouldn't say I'd root for Fairy Tail because that means I was picking favorites. I'll root for both of them as they'll give it their all. And you're right on one thing. I am excited. I wasn't able to witness the actual Grand Magic Games due to some issues popping up but this match will surely make up for it."
"I don't blame you, Princess! This two guilds will pull off an amazing show for not just the two of us, but the crowd as well!"
The crowd cheers...
Over at Blue Pegasus' territory, Bob was having a pep talk with the five. To wish them luck because it's Fairy Tail they're going up against. Hibiki came up with a plan that can for sure give them the guaranteed victory. Eve, Ren & Ichiya were okay with the plan except for the current Miss Fiore, Jenny.
There was something off about her. Ever since she left Fairy Tail's guildhall from a week ago, her whole personality shifted to a much more hateful tone. Something had taken over her body, mind, & soul. Since then, she wasn't acting like herself and was bent on wanting to cause havoc.
After hearing Hibiki's plan, Jenny rejected the idea and advise it to be a regular one on one match. Hibiki and the others were shocked by that and asked why Jenny would change the algorithm of the 1v5. This, "corrupted" Jenny gave her answer and at first it sounded hard to believe but they saw the confidence in her voice so they decided to go with it...
"Are you really sure about this, Jenny? We don't know what Son Goku is capable of..." Hibiki wanted to make sure.
"Hmph. Yes, I'm sure, you idiot. I don't wish to explain twice as to why I want it to be just a 1v1. Just agree to what I say and butt out. I've got some personal beef I want to settle with him." Jenny evilly grinned at Goku from far away.
"Personal beef? We just met the guy. What sort of beef do you have?" Ren asked.
"The one that involves challenging both our inner minds." Jenny gave hints to them but they didn't get it.
"If you're so sure, then alrighty then. We just have to inform the announcer up there about this sudden change." Hibiki said.
"That's not going to be a problem. I'm heading out to the arena..." Jenny said as she makes her way out.
"..."
"Something on your mind, Eve? Your parfum smells like curiosity."
"Yeah. Master Ichiya, everyone, has Jenny been acting different lately?"
"Come to think of it, yeah. Since we left the Fairy Tail guildhall, she started acting like she was someone else. Like a mafia boss or something." Ren inspects.
"Maybe she's playing hard to get. After all, I am the one who can sweep her feet off the floor!" Hibiki boast.
"Considering she dumped you after the Grand Magic Games? Yeah, it's definitely that, Hibiki." Eve said as he shakes his head.
"Now, now, boys. Let's not get in each other's skin and support our Miss Fiore! It's best to win as a team rather than to fall apart." Bob insisted.
"Master Bob is right. Jenny may be acting different but she's still our Jenny. She has her reasons as to wanting a one on one so let's do our best in cheering her on!" Ichiya said.
"Right, Master Ichiya!" the trio boys saluted.
"Oh, what's this? It appears only one member from Blue Pegasus is entering the arena. And it's Jenny Realight!" Chapati points out.
"Huh? What the heck? What's the blonde girl doing alone?" Natsu said all confused.
"You can barely see her eyes, too..." Lucy said as she saw her front bangs cover her eyes.
"That's weird, Why aren't her friends coming down to the arena with her?" Goku wondered as he was still leaning over the rail.
Mirajane noticed something different about Jenny. She barely caught it for a brief second. In her eyes, she saw Jenny grin. But the grin she saw made Mirajane shiver in fear a little. That grin wasn't something happy, no. It was a malicious one.
"Forgive me, everyone. I know you were all expecting a 1v5 match since the flyers we sent out had us in it. But... I've decided to come to a decision. I, Jenny Realight, will face Fairy Tail's new member in a one on one match!" said a committed Jenny.
No one was talking. Not even the fanboys that praise her. For about a solid minute, the entire arena itself was quiet. To the break that silence, Chapati spoke for the current Miss Fiore, Jenny Realight.
"I-I see! I get it now! It should've been obvious from the start! Jenny Realight must've felt bad for having number's advantage so she wants to even the odds by granting mercy on Fairy Tail's new member!"
"H-Huh?" Goku & Fairy Tail simultaneously said.
"As expected of Jenny! Not only is she a pretty pearl, her kindness knows no bounds!" Chapati praised again.
And the crowd cheers for Jenny's decision. Seeing how everyone was okay with her decision, it made Miss Fiore grin evilly again. And yet again, Mirajane was the only one who spotted her evil grin...
"What are earth is she thinking? Jenny's not a strong fighter..." Mirajane was confused, "There has to be some kind of real explanation to this!"
"She probably has something up her sleeve. At least that's what I'm assuming..." Wendy assumes.
"That's one way, child. Although, I have a feeling that isn't it..."
"I don't know why you're getting so riled up. She obviously wants to fight me alone!" Goku said as he walks over to her.
"But she's a model. Her fighting skills are lacking in each department. To me, it sounds like she's not acting like herself..."
"I think you're overthinking it a bit, Mira. Sure, she looks like she might not hold much against me but looks can be deceiving."
"Overthinking? I'm just looking out for you, that's all."
"You don't have too, ya know. I can take care of my own..."
"Goku... Don't say that to me. We're all family so we've got each other's backs, remember?"
"Oh, right. Sorry... I forgot..."
"It's alright. I forgive you. Just promise me you'll be on your guard, okay? I know I told you Jenny isn't a fighter but with the way she's acting as of right now... It's best to make sure you don't make mistakes."
"Sure. You have my word, Mira. I'll keep an eye out and be on my guard! It's a promise!"
"Good, I'm glad. You should probably head to the arena. Your opponent is waiting for you."
"Good idea! Well, see you guys after the match's over. I've got a date with Renny Jealight!" Goku said as he ran to the rail.
"Kick her ass, Goku! It'll probably be quick but kick her ass anyway!" Natsu cheered on for him.
"Mister Goku, break a leg!" Happy said as he was flying around Goku's head.
"Have fun and take it easy on her, okay?" Lucy asked.
"I'm sure he knows what he's doing, Princess." Virgo, who popped out of nowhere said.
"V-Virgo? What are you doing here?"
"The Celestial King asked Big Brother Loke and I to check out how the Supreme Deity performs. Unfortunately, I'm tackling this job alone because Big Brother Loke is suffering from stomach pain."
"How unfortunate for him..." Lucy's sympathies were with Loke.
"I would say good luck to you but what's good luck when you're basically gonna murder her." Gray teased.
"I will, Gray."
"Try not to kill her, Goku. We wouldn't want to be known as the guild who killed a model now, do we?" Mirajane aforementioned.
"Good luck, Goku! I hope you make Fairy Tail proud!" Mavis said as she made her appearance.
"Right, little girl! (Who is that?)"
While hovering over the rail and looking at them, Goku gave everyone a thumbs up. He received more good lucks and replied to all of them with a thumbs up coming from his left hand. When he was done, he was flying down to meet Jenny where they'll meet face to face...
"Yo!" Goku waved, "Are you excited to fight as I am?"
"Hmph. I'm excited... Excited to bash your head against the arena's walls."
"Um, what? You're kind of losing me there, Jenny. Oh, can you tell me why you're the only one here? I thought it was supposed to be a 1v5. I wouldn't mind taking on you five. It'd be entertaining."
"I made those pathetic rats option out because I want to do the honors in ripping out your heart, you deceased lowlife."
"Y-You're certainly on fire..."
"Haha! The moment we've all been waiting for is here! The person who just hovered down to the arena must be Fairy Tail's new member! Umm..."
"Son Goku!" Goku waved at Chapati.
"Son Goku...? That's a name I never heard of..." Chapati mumbled under his breath, "The new member whom everyone was curious about, will take on Jenny Realight! He is... Son Goku of Fairy Tail!"
The crowd cheers for the Saiyan...
"Can you believe the enthusiasm that is in the air, ladies, and gentlemen? This duel will determine Son Goku's fate because if he loses, he becomes Jenny's boyfriend! What are some of your words you want to express now that you've seen him, Princess?"
"Well, his appearance surely got the crowd talking here. And his hairstyle is certainly unique. However, given his occupation is Fairy Tail, it's wise to not take him lightly."
"Such wise words from your Fiore Princess, everybody!"
With both Goku and Jenny's introduction done, Goku got started on stretching his arms and legs. His left arm, with two fingers out, was placed in front of his left eye. While his right arm that bends into a ninety-degree angle was placed at his right hip.
"Okay, let's do this!" Goku smirked at her.
"If both contestants are ready, then let the match... Begin!"
As Goku was still in his fight pose, he remembered what Mirajane told him. To not drop his guard. Hearing Mirajane speaks lowly about Jenny does make Goku wonder if Jenny's really strong since she's the one who requested the 1v1 fight. The wind blows a breeze that made everyone silent. Neither of the two has yet to make a move...
Hearing that the match started, Jenny lets out a laugh. Laughing like an egotistic maniac, Jenny's eyes were widening as they were tense. Shocking everyone around her including her guildmates, something unimaginable happened. Getting into her power stance, she begins to show everyone a borrowed power that only Goku knew...
"Feast your eyes on this, Son Goku! Haahh!"
"Uh... What the...?!" Goku's eyes were tense.
Jenny was charging up her "energy" which was impossible to do because she didn't learn Ki yet. Veins had appeared around her face as the ground they stand on shakes tempestuously due to the massive energy surge that was leaking out of her.
For about four minutes, Goku & everyone else saw her pupils dematerialize and her irises began to take over her eyes, shooting out the color red. To top it off, a borrowed aura was geminating around her. The color of the aura was dark purple. From there, everyone saw a whole new look to the model of Blue Pegasus. An energy that's familiar caused Goku to shake with a realization that the person in front of him wasn't Jenny. At least not anymore...
"Holy crap...! Her energy's off the radar!" Gray said as he was struggling to keep his composure.
"Her aura feels so malicious and I don't know if it's the color that's giving off the vibe..." Erza was under the impression of Jenny's new character.
"I uh... I don't what to say, you guys. Is that really the same person that got defeated by Mira weeks ago?" Wendy's scared voice showed she wasn't going to have it.
"Just what is going on here! What power did Miss Fiore just display to everyone! Her appearance, the dark purple aura around her, it must be an upgraded powerup! As what you expect out of Jenny Realight!" Chapati says these words due to not knowing she was being mind controlled.
"Why do I get the feeling something's bad about to happen...?" Hisui spoke to herself.
The corrupt Jenny had finished charging up her borrowed power and was now making her move. Diving her supercharge to Goku, she sprinted. Seeing Jenny dish out energy that was well beyond Natsu & the others, he wasted no time and hovered to her.
Getting out of his battle stance, both Goku and Jenny exchanged their right fist, causing a mini shockwave to disburse around them. The shockwave made Goku twirl clockwise out of habit and with that, it utilized Jenny to go in for a right kick to the abdomen. It was a simple see-through attack. Nothing that made Goku worry and so, to counter the kick, he easily blocks it with his left forearm. But in doing that, Jenny adds pressure to the kick where it sends Goku to the air.
"Whaa!"
He was ascending backward but manages to catch his grip. He was able to by getting into his power stance, turning on his aura as he sees fit. Though, it made Jenny smirked because the next thing she did shock everyone. With a simple yell, her aura expanded and she was able to fly up into the sky to match Goku.
"This energy... It's just like the one from the inside of my mind... My conscious..." Goku said, remembering that he talked to the negative energy.
"J-Jenny can fly!?" Hibiki's face was in shambles.
"Men, does that make us feel so outclassed..." Ichiya's body began to twirl.
"Take a look at Jenny's face. She's enjoying it. Or rather, she's showing a whole different side to her none of us didn't know..." Ren observes.
At the last second, while getting close to the Saiyan, Goku defends himself with both his arms doing the Wakanda pose, as an effort to block Jenny's strong right punch. The physical contact that bestowed between them made their auras lash out against each other. As a result, only Jenny was pushed by back the sheer strength Goku's aura display when it overpowered hers.
The wind got to her eyes, causing her to squint out of force. And with that came Goku's advantage. When he entered Jenny's territory, he successfully was able to deliver a punch to her left cheek. To be able to land the first blow, Goku entered a second phase by deliberately gifting Miss Fiore with a twirling left kick to her back.
"Unbelievable! We're witnessing the match of the century! Both Son Goku of Fairy Tail & Jenny Realight of Blue Pegasus is taking their battle to the sky! I had no idea Miss Fiore can perform such an amazing feat! And without weaving any magic!" Chapati commentates.
"Not only that, but that Goku fellow doesn't seem to be having much trouble." Hisui realizes.
"Oh, you're right! It's giving me chills!"
"Unbelievable... Is this how Goku fights in his world?" Lucy said as she was seeing Goku & Jenny exchanging fists.
"He certainly wasn't like this when he was training us. He only used his right index finger to block our attacks..." Wendy adds.
"What, did Goku train this girl behind our backs or something? Was this planned?" Gray wondered as there were shockwaves being made in the sky.
"I don't think so... Something doesn't seem right about this. Jenny isn't a strong fighter and yet, she's able to barely keep up with him? It doesn't add up." Erza speculates.
"Of course it doesn't." Cana went on, "The energy we're sensing isn't hers. Take a closer look, you guys. It's something else and whatever it is, it's harboring inside of her..."
"Cana's right. I thought it was strange that Jenny was able to keep up with Goku. Seeing as though she 'knows' Ki, it's taken us by storm..." Juvia said, "Last I checked, Jenny Realight wasn't there when Goku trained us..."
"You have a point, Juvia..." Lucy admits.
"(It must a source that came from the Supreme Deity's world. Considering how I can't sense it but the Princess and her friends can, I can assume it's something opposite of pure. I wonder how the Supreme Deity's going to pull out of this one...)" Virgo thinks to herself as she was seeing Goku easily outmaneuvering Jenny.
"Bluagh!" Jenny coughs up blood.
Recovering from a kick to the back, she turned downwards to face Goku. Rushing for another attack, Jenny was blocked off. Grabbing her left arm, Goku's aura turned on. He yanked her over to him in order to give her a brutal right knee to her abdomen. And as it succeeded, Jenny filed a revolt. By turning around she emulated a Ki blast from her right palm and at will, she departed the energy to his face.
However, Goku evades it without a problem. But doing so gave Jenny the advantage as she struck Goku with a blow to his face. Sending him away from her in distance miles. While being blown away, Goku remains unphased.
"Amazing. This negative energy's strong. I guess it really did find a host. It gave Jenny hacks that allowed her to kinda withstand my blows. This must be the power of Towa's work. Whoever she is, she's tricky."
Goku took notes about how the Time Rift functions and in doing so, he saw Jenny coming straight to him.
"This negative energy's corrupting her mind. I've got to find a way to break her out of the brainwashing. But how? Oh, she's coming close! I guess I'll have to find out another time! Haahhh!"
Goku gave a prideful glance at his opponent and seeing how he's facing someone who's not herself, he's got to find a cure. With speed faster than the human eye, Jenny's rising rush earned her a hard solid right punch aimed to Goku's face. Jenny brought down another fist heading straight to the full blood Saiyan as the next thing that happened favored Goku to retaliate with a move every martial artist knows.
Using his hands for thrusts and strikes, Goku's objective was Jenny's right arm. He evaded her nasty punch by kicking in a throwing technique. With both his hands grabbing hold to Jenny's right arm & forearm, he dragged her over his head and threw her down hard to the ground.
"HAAHH!"
The judo throw sends Jenny down the ground. As she was descending, her body was front flipping and by the time she reached the battleground, everyone saw her land painfully on her back. The impact of landing so abruptly causes the ground she laying on to form multiple cracks. With that, Goku was descending back down to the arena. From there, he let out a sigh.
"A-AMAZING! Son Goku of Fairy Tail just laid down Jenny Realight for the taking! With that amazing judo throw, he was able to put out Miss Fiore for the count! What are your words to this awesome match, Princess?"
"Well, other than Goku, Jenny Realight has shown feats I've never seen. I can speak for everyone here in the arena as I say this. It's an 'awesome' match." Hisui smiled.
"You heard it here, folks! The Princess herself is super amazed at both of Son Goku & Jenny Realight's performance! But, with the way Goku threw her down to the ground, it doesn't seem like Jenny can move at all! Is she down for the count?"
"Oh no... This is bad. If Jenny loses, we're toast!" Hibiki said.
"It's not over yet, Hibiki, my child! Jenny's a strong woman who can show her glams where they're worth! She'll continue to dazzle us as she's always been!" Bob encourages.
"Right, Master Bob..." Hibiki lets out sweat from his left side.
"All right, Goku! Hell yeah, dude! You the man!" Natsu cheered.
"I gotta say, even if Jenny was giving Goku somewhat of a decent run, Goku was still playing with her," Lucy said.
"You seem down, sis. What's wrong?" Lisanna asked as she saw Mirajane's face.
"I'm fine. I just want the outcome to come already. It is in our favor." Mirajane replied with a faint smile.
"Newbie's really hauling that blonde lady's ass. He doesn't show mercy to girls, does he?"
"I mean, you didn't when you crucified me, Jet & Droy. Remember, Gajeel?" Levy takes Gajeel down memory lane with that fond memory.
"Uh! Ahh... I know, short stuff..." Gajeel said as he was looking to his right all embarrassed.
"Third Master! You did a fantastic job of recruiting someone like him!" Mavis praised.
"T-Thank you, First Master. If you're amazed by his performance, did you catch a glimpse at what he did to Natsu when he and Goku fought?"
"Mhm! I was there! I was quiet because Goku surprised me with things I didn't know existed! At least not in this world..."
"He is a force to be reckoned with, First Master. Now I hope the match will be over. Considering Miss Jenny landed roughly hard to the ground."
"I'm not so sure about that, but let's hope you're right!" Mavis gave a thumbs up.
Jenny was stick stuck to the ground. Seeing her not move gave Goku the opportunity to walk over to her. With his hands behind his back, Goku hovers around Jenny and stopped at her legs so he could see her face clearer. The crowd, Hisui & Chapati, Fairy Tail & Blue Pegasus were waiting for the finishing blow since it's clear the Saiyan won. But Goku had other plans...
"You fought a good fight, Jenny. As for whatever it is that's hiding insider body, can you do me the favor and get out of her? Whatever you are, you're infecting Jenny with negative energy that could potentially corrupt her."
No response from Jenny...
"(Even if I can't go the easy way in asking it, it seems I've got to find another way before Blue Pegasus lose Jenny.) Well? I'm waiting for an answer!"
No response came from Jenny again...
"Now that I think about it, it's just sad. You couldn't control my mind & body to serve under Towa, so you escaped out my body and hid your energy. You must've hidden somewhere in the infirmary room where I couldn't sense you. You could've taken over anybody inside but of all the people, you chose Jenny. I don't know why, but it doesn't matter. There isn't anything else you can do to beat me. I bet that's all you got, isn't it?"
When Goku finished rambling on, Jenny's dark purple aura expanded again. Her red irises had glowed even shinier and the next, she clenched both her fist aggressively. Jenny sought an aperture and powered up even more. She didn't speak but roared as there was a background voice supporting her roars. Due to her roaring, the rubble both the two made was levitating. Goku & the others that learned Ki knew she was raising up her power level. This time, as she was still being possessed, Jenny had entered Machina Soul and rose up from the ground and was facing Goku.
"Holy crap, her energy's none I've ever seen before!" Natsu said all shocked.
"Guys... I've got a bad feeling about this..." Lucy was getting scared.
"Her energy keeps rising higher and higher... Just how high will it go?" Lisanna said as she too was getting scared.
"That's... That's Jenny's Machina Soul! The battle suit we haven't seen since her battle with Mirajane Strauss! With her new strange powers & Machina Soul combined together as a deadly combo, how will Son Goku of Fairy Tail fare?" Chapati said as he was hyping up the crowd.
"Guess I was wrong... Her energy's higher than Erza's..." Goku said as he compared the two, "Uh-Oh, not good. If she keeps rising her energy, she'll burn herself out! Okay, that's it! I'm putting an end to this!"
Realizing that Jenny could be a huge threat to not him but the people around him and perhaps the entire Earthland, Goku raised his energy and began powering up. All this time, since training his students, Goku was concealing his powers. This fight, however, he was about to let everyone see a tiny portion of his true strength.
While gathering up Ki, there was rubble levitating around him as well. Making an intense face like he was constipated, Natsu & the others saw Goku's energy spike a greater height than Jenny's. Then, when the going was getting good, they saw the Saiyan's hair blink a golden yellow color every second as it was being styled up and down. This form was a transformation Goku had mastered and when he was done charging up, he had transformed at last. Goku shocked everyone in the arena by storm in showing them his SSJ transformation!
The end of the constant yelling to power up made the levitating rubble to fall back down to the ground. With the sudden change in the Saiyan's hair, everyone, especially Fairy Tail were stupefied.
"H-His hair... It's golden!" Lucy said as she was pointing with her fingers uncontrollably.
"All that yelling and the results were shining glowing hair?" Cana's eyes were glued on Goku.
"That jerk! Where was he hiding this power when we were training together!" Natsu grew shark teeth due to seeing more of Goku's latent powers.
"It doesn't look like Takeover magic and the only thing different is his energy. It's bonkers crazy...!" Lisanna quoted.
"Haha! Now that's how a real man shows off!" Elfman's game of saying man/manly in every sentence doesn't stop.
"I never knew Goku could so something like this. He looks kind of cute in that color..." Mirajane admits as she sees Goku's spikey golden hair flow.
"He looks kinda what, Mira? I couldn't hear you. Speak up!" Lisanna teased, making Mirajane retract her words.
"I-It's nothing, Lisanna! I said nothing!" Mirajane said as she laughs it off.
After turning in a Super Saiyan, Goku decided to pop his neck. The warmup was done and he was about to end it all with Jenny. If he couldn't find a way to bring her back from this corruption, then the least he can do is stop her in her tracks right now before she hurts anyone else...
"Quite frankly, I was hoping I wouldn't let anyone see this form yet. Until I see Natsu & the others reach this kind of level. But you... Your energy right now could destroy Earthland over a thousand times. Which is why I'm going to put an end to it. Since you won't get out of her body, we'll play by your rules. Let's go!" Goku's aura expanded after he said that.
Jenny wasn't fazed by his appearance change and continued onwards with her objective. Which was to kill Son Goku. That was an order by Towa. Dashing to the bright golden warrior, Machina Soul Jenny thrust her clenched right fist and aimed at Goku's face. To everyone's surprise, it didn't do anything to Goku.
Everyone saw Goku take that punch head on and noticed how he didn't lose his composure to that. Nor did he moved. With Jenny's punch still positioned at Goku's face, Goku took a chance and fought back with might. He took her right arm and pulled her to him for a godly knee to her chin and as a result, Jenny was sent to the sky once again...
Goku had on a serious face and saw the distances between them. Jenny's power right now couldn't come close to Goku's SSJ powers so, at a moment's notice, she panicked. The one thing about being under control by Towa is that the victim becomes mute. A silent fighting slave whose purpose is to serve Towa alone. In her case, she was panicking...
The Time Rift effect (Negative Energy) that was inside of her was ordered to bring Goku's head and so far, she (It) was having trouble. To make up for all the time lost, Jenny decided to unleash one final constructive attack. Having no choice, the possessed Machina Soul Jenny decides to power up and use everything she has. With both her hands up in the air, she created a large energy ball filled with negative dark energy. However, it was unstable. The size of that ball lashes out a little and hits the arena below them, scaring the crowd & Hisui together. And at once, she threw the ball down to Goku...
"Kch, is she nuts!? She'll destroy the planet with that ridiculous energy ball!" Goku said as he got in his fight pose.
"W-W-What on earth is that!? I-It looks a large dark ball produced by Miss Fiore! Is she trying to use that to ensure a guaranteed victory from Son Goku?" Chapati said as he freaks out while commentating.
"That can't be meant for Son Goku. The size of that ball could overwhelm the Grand Magic Games arena...!" Hisui thought as her eyes were shaking in absolute fear.
"She's mad! With that amount of energy, it's enough to send us packing!" Lucy said as she started to get tense.
"Goku... What are you doing?" Mirajane said, looking at Goku who didn't seem that much phased at all.
"(Well, I guess if I can't find a solution to stop her, I'll create one...)" Goku gave out a "hmph" sound after.
His energy was already charged to the amount he wanted and when the timing couldn't get any better, Goku had prepared himself to end to Jenny with this final move. Both his hands were formed in a cupped gesture, later drawn to his right side to concentrate on Ki. Between the spaced cupped hands, energy was gathering. The size of the gathered energy started off small, but gradually gets bigger the more he charges Ki.
When the right size was up and ready to get deployed, Goku got out of his charging pose and was ready to unleash his signature attack. Holding in the energy blast between his cupped hands, Goku then thrust both of them forward to fire back an extremely powerful beam of energy.
"Ka-me-ha-me-HA!" Goku yelled as he uttered the name of the attack.
The powerful energy beam (Kamehameha) heads straight to Jenny's dark energy ball as it connected. Holding off the energy ball was no picnic in the park for the Saiyan, but he was doing a fantastic job holding off the ball from touching the ground. In this beam struggle, both Goku & Jenny were fighting to overcome one another.
During the beam struggle, everyone who was spectating the amazing match was awestruck by Goku's attack. Fairy Tail most of all. Mirajane & the others had never seemed an attack that could potentially end their lives should they come close to touching it. Natsu above all was speechless to see such an awesome attack and couldn't find the right words to express the joy in seeing it come from his master...
As the energy beam struggle continues, the corrupted Jenny added more fuel to the fire by commencing more pressure. But it didn't do anything relevant to assure her victory. Since Goku saw Jenny adding more power to her attack, he did the same.
And as a result, he won the beam struggle and overwhelmed the energy ball and Jenny. Blasting back the ball to Jenny ended in a fatal way. The dark energy ball, whom Jenny dished out as a way to throw off Goku, was being sent back to her, causing her to get caught in her own attack.
Leading a victory to Fairy Tail. Mostly just to Goku. With the conclusion of the beam struggle, there was an explosion aftermath in the sky. When Goku got out of his Kamehameha pose, his golden aura disappeared but he was still in his SSJ form. Looking above, he saw something coming out from the smoke.
"Is that...?" Goku wondered.
The person who was coming out from the smoke was what Goku had in mind. Jenny Realight was defeated and the Time Rift Effect that infected her mind had tremendously vanished. Permanently. Before she could come in contact with the ground, Goku saved her by catching her in his arms...
"Looks like I overdid with the Kamehameha..." Goku said while looking at an unconscious Jenny.
"L-Ladies and gentlemen... The match is over. The winner of the duel is... Son Goku of Fairy Tail!" Chapati's words started off as shocking but as he continued, he showed his excitement from seeing the end results.
Seeing the new member of Fairy Tail win against Jenny of Blue Pegasus, the crowd was cheering hard for Goku. Fireworks that were clear as day was shown up and above the skies to commemorate his victory. Leaving a good impression on everyone, Goku was getting the recognition he didn't know he deserved.
"He did it! Haha! I literally thought we'd be goners, man!" Natsu said as he was jumping up in the air.
"That Goku... Where was he hiding such power?" Erza smirked, nodding her head from seeing something go out in front of her.
"He beat Jenny... Did he figure out how to snap her out of it?" Mirajane wondered but was relaxing on Goku's behalf.
"Haha! There you go, Goku! A real man knows how to show manners after he wins a fight! Way to go!" Elfman had his right fist up.
"That's my boy." Makarov grin, "Never a dull moment when it comes to him!"
"Third Master, you've done an excellent job in recruiting such a fine man! I'm quite pleased to see a man of his caliber in our guild! Well done!"
"Oh, Hohohoho! Surely, you jest, First Master!"
"I mean it. Mirajane's boyfriend's really something that shooked all of us by storm."
"B-Boyfriend!? F-First Master! Goku is not my boyfriend! Where did you even get that idea from!?" Mirajane panicked.
"Aw c'mon, Mirajane! It's written all over your face. I know this back when Blue Pegasus entered the guild hall. I was there if you were wondering but I was trying to not be noticeable. I saw your reaction when Miss Jenny suggested that wager. If that face I saw doesn't represent jealousy, then I'm not fit to be called the First Master!"
"D-Do you really think so? Let's say I do like him... He probably doesn't see me the same way I see him..." Mirajane said as she was already feeling disappointment.
"Sometimes the best way to find out if a boy likes you back is if you tell them your feelings. Do it, Mirajane! There's no one stopping you in finding out if he really does like you! He did say he'll protect you because he finds you as someone to cherish, didn't he?"
"Yeah, you're right." Mirajane blushed from embarrassment, "I guess I'll go meet up with him then."
"That's the spirit! You go, girl!" Mavis gives a thumbs up.
Instead of taking the stairs, Mirajane jumped over the rail Natsu was leaning on and was heading straight to Goku. Team Natsu, Cana, Lisanna & Juvia followed in pursuit. Since Goku's victory was something Fairy Tail had it coming, the Celestial Maid Virgo makes an analysis about the Saiyan. In her perspective, she concluded this...
"(There's no mistaking it. Son Goku is the Supreme Deity that made the Celestial King feel so uncomfortable. With his power he showcased, I get the feeling that wasn't all of it. To take it a step further, I'd say his power alone can end a universe if he sees fit. Supreme Deity... Son Goku... Supreme Deity... Son Goku. Under the Celestial King's orders, I'll definitely keep an eye out on him. He's kind of interesting to spectate.)"
A few seconds later, after giving a quick analysis, Virgo had returned to her world. Doing that sends her key back to Lucy's possession.
"Hey, Goku!" Natsu yelled as he was behind Mirajane, "That was super badass man! You were hella amazing!"
"Honestly, man. Does your strength show no bounds?" Lucy said, shaking her head.
"Well, I guess I don't know my strength, haha." Goku laughs while still holding Jenny in his arms.
"Your performance really puts an impression on us, Goku. I mean, I saw it but I still don't believe it." Erza smiles at him.
"Is she unconscious?" Wendy asked as she saw Jenny in his arms.
"Yeah. I overdid it a bit and blasted her own attack to her. She took a lot of damage but it looks like she won't be producing all that negative energy anymore."
"How did you know that would cure her?" Lisanna wondered.
"Beats me. I was caught up in the moment. You know, I get carried away when I see someone strong I can fight."
"That's Goku for ya. I can't tell if you like seeing your opponents at their best rather than to just finish them off." Cana gloated as she gave Goku a friendly head pat.
"You're really something else, Goku. Tell us, is that your full power?" Mirajane asked, trying to not get jealous of seeing another woman in his arms.
"Nope, that's just a tiny glimpse of it."
"T-Tiny!?" Natsu & the others fell back from hearing that.
"Y-You call that a tiny glimpse?"
"Yeah," Goku said while looking at Lucy.
"Well, what now? You won but you don't have a wager, Goku..." Gray reminded.
"Oh, yeah. That's right, I don't. Haha, I'm perfectly fine without one if I'm going to be honest."
"I've got one for ya. How 'bout you let Jenny become your girlfriend instead? You know, like taking home a trophy." Cana suggested, "I'd say that's rewarding enough."
"H-Hey! Don't give Goku any ideas!" Mirajane revolted at Cana.
"Relax, Mira! I'm just kidding..." Cana was waving her hands like a white flag for surrender.
"Cana, you don't joke about forcing a relationship. It's one thing that Goku doesn't have a wager, but it's another when you force one that he didn't agree too!"
"(Mira hasn't been this worked up in a while. I guess when it comes to Goku, she feels it's her responsibility to aid Goku in any way. At least that's what I think...)" Lisanna thinks to her herself.
"Well, it's whatever, Mira. I don't have a wager but if you like you can think of one for me."
"I'm flattered but I'm not sure if I'm worthy to think of one for you. It's your victory, not mine. You decide. It can be anything you want but make sure you don't overdo it..."
"Hmm, I would ask for you to cook for me, but you do that every day so that's out of the question. Hmm..." Goku tries to think of a wager but when doing that, he still had Jenny in his arms.
"I think we can mark this up in the books as one of the best matches ever in Fiore history! If I say so myself! Princess, what do you think the wager is that Son Goku has yet to announce?"
"He doesn't seem to be the type to speak of royalty, so I'm assuming he wants jewels to be his price. He looks very humble and carefree so the wager he'll announce is something we've yet to find out."
"But if you could predict what it would be, it would give us viewers the insight!"
"Predict, hmm? Let's see... Other than my prediction of wanting jewels, he could want..." while thinking about what Goku could possibly want, she was staring at Goku talking to Mirajane, "I'm not so sure, Chapati. If he doesn't have one, then I guess I'll have to offer him one." Hisui stood up.
"Where are you going, Princess Hisui?" Chapati asked as he looked at her.
"I'm going to come down there to congratulate Son Goku. As a way to pay my respects for Fairy Tail since they were hugely involved in the seven dragon invasion."
"You heard it here, folks! To figure out what Son Goku of Fairy Tail's wager is, the Princess will graciously come down to meet the victor!" Chapati announces to everyone.
Upon hearing that announcement, Goku & the others that were in the ring with him looked. For safety measures, there were four guards that were supposed to come down with her but she ordered them to stand down. Because Hisui thought she won't be in any harm if she's down there with the number one guild...
"Princess Hisui!" Lucy greeted the Hisui as she came to her.
"It's nice to see you well and alive, Lucy Heartfilia."
"Yeah, it has been over a week now. And you're just as cute as ever!"
"Your words flatter me, Lucy. Thank you." Hisui smiled.
"So, what's the Princess of Fiore doing here without any guards protecting her?" Erza pointed out, "Surely, you didn't just come down here just to greet us."
"I told my guards there wouldn't be any need to come with me because I know your guild could do what they can't." Hisui insisted on the compliment, "But, yeah. I was hoping to speak to that Son Goku fellow over there. If you don't mind, that is."
"No worries. He's really down to earth in meeting people. He's always assuming that whoever he meets is strong. Until he finds out the truth, haha."
"It's like I know him already," Hisui said as she makes her way Goku, Jenny & Mirajane.
"I'm assuming you're Goku?"
"Mhm, that's me. Who are you?"
"I'm someone who's high up. Princess Hisui, nice to meet you."
"Oh, nice to meet you too! I would stick out my hand but I'm busy carrying someone."
"It's fine, Goku." Hisui giggled, "You've put on a great show and I couldn't help but enjoy it. I, along with everyone else, was on the edge of our seats. Your hair's nothing I've ever seen before. It's very unique if I may add."
"It's called SSJ. If you like, I can tell you all about it." Goku said as he powered down to base form.
"I'd like nothing more than to learn of your origins, Son Goku! But as for your wager, do you perhaps have one in mind?"
"Uhh... I sorta don't..."
"I see. Well then, if you don't have a wager, might I offer one to you?"
"Lay it on me, Hisui."
"For putting on an amazing show, I can grant you a banquet as a way to celebrate your victory. With, of course, it being your wager to which you've won."
"R-Really!? That means... More food! Oh, hell yeah!" Goku said all excited, "You've got yourself a deal, Hisui! I'm liking you already!"
"Then it's settled. Son Goku of Fairy Tail will have a banquet in his honor."
"Mira, did you hear that! A banquet in my honor! Whatever that means! I do know I can eat as much as I want!" Goku's happy grin shined bright on Mirajane's face.
"Yeah. I've heard. And I'm okay with that. It's just..."
"What's up?"
"You're gonna have to return Jenny, who's in your arms, back to Blue Pegasus. I'm betting your arms are hurting from holding her too long."
"I can hold her for an even longer time. I've dealt with worse. But she is heavy." Goku said as he saw Jenny's bangs covering her eyes.
"Goku... That's something you don't say to a girl. Ever..."
"Y-Yeah... (I can sense something deep in Mira. I better not mouth any more words that could insult her...)" Goku sweats a little.
"Are... Are you two... close?" Hisui theorized.
"C-Close? As in; in a guild? Yeah..." Mirajane said to avoid the obvious.
"(That's not what I meant but okay...) Come, both the two of you and your guild are welcome to set foot in Mercurius and from there, we'll hold the banquet."
"Hehe, now we're talking! This is gonna be awesome!" with Jenny still in his arms, Goku jumps up and down.
"(I know I should be happy about Goku's victory... But I just can't fathom with what I saw. Jenny did feats that only Goku & his students can do. She couldn't have learned this unless she became a student of Goku. Something fishy is going on here and I have a feeling things are about to get worse...)"
While looking at a fired up Goku who was in anticipation for the banquet, Mirajane was on edge. Although he may have won his unfair battle, there are things that were left for questioning. For starters, if Jenny had fallen under the Time Rift effects, what's to stop it from happening again? And with a different host?
To Mirajane, there are things out there in the universe there are better off not knowing. Otherwise, it'll cost her freedom as it did with Jenny Realight
