Chapter 192: The Grand Magic Games (3)
~Silva K. POV~
It wasn't a no-brainer Gray wasn't winning this one. As much as he improved greatly this wasn't his match-up.
And I could've chosen this one. As well as won but…. He called me a bad driver during the preliminaries I call this payback.
Upon witnessing the events unfolding Mato soon explained what happened to Juvia for attacking the wrong member, "Juvia from Fairy Tail B loses one point! She will be put into a 10-second time out and then forced to start again from another part of the arena."
But then again, this competition wasn't something most people would casually be prepared for. I would benefit since I prepare for it but I'm not so this will be our loss.
Then I noticed his Gray body flash teleport out seeing Ur attack him and Lyon causing him to freeze as we hear from the Mato of the news, "Ur gets two points and Gray from Fairy Tail A loses one point. Lyon from Lamina Scale loses one point."
Ouch.
I flinch as Mavis shakes her head commenting on the scene in a defeated tone, "Sigh… it seems like this is going to be our loss."
Erza also voices her agreement in a stern tone but understanding, "He better try but…"
Lucy finishes off Erza's words giving pity for Gray against his sensei in a difficult tone, "Yeah… it would be hard for Gray to challenge or win this one."
Natsu remained silent observing the scene oddly being silent. I would've expected him to lash out but he remained calm till he responded, "In that case, you can leave it to me to get it done if Gray messes up. But I can't feel how he should deal with fighting someone who was their parent in this match."
Wow.
Our eyes landed on Natsu in surprise as he found our gazes at him questioning us, "What? Was it something I said?"
We all shook our heads choosing to remain silent this time witnessing the scene before us. And it was not looking good for Gray seeing how this would unfold.
Sadly, though when I saw Rufus, I knew this was a game set and match. I was able to see Rufus on top of a building as the other contestants were glowing Rufus talked out loud in an overconfident tone, "I remember. Each individual pulse, footsteps, and magical attribute. I remember. I remember it all. Memory Make…"
Erza yells out loud surprised by the magic of Rufus' choice, "Maker Magic!"
*Bifff*
*Bifff*
*Biffff*
*Bifff*
At that moment he finally finished his attack as I witnessed quite the spectacle, "<Memory Make: Night of the Falling Stars>!!"
*Pow*
*Pow*
*Pow*
*Pow*
He managed to harm almost everyone in combat but that was when Lyon managed to avoid the attack yelling back, "That may have gotten those fools! But it won't work on me! <Ice Make: Gorilla Gong>!!"
*Wooosh*
Ice formed creating an ice statue of a moving ape, but we all see that Lyon's attack didn't harm Rufus and his body turned into mist!
Then we all see on the screens closely what Rufus says to Lyon while attacking him earning a point for his team, "That was a memory of my being there."
Sigh…
This match is all but over. Sadly, though Gray won't be winning this. Rough buddy…

~Third POV~
After the last few minutes in the game of Hidden Ruffus remained MVP during the whole game, the other guild members were able to get some points but the majority were gained by Rufus at the end of the game.
The people expected it that much considering the Sabertooth Guild are number 1 Guild in the Kingdom.
During the whole game Rufus was the number one winner and superior Maker Magic Memory type against the majority of the wizards along with the game setup it was an easy win for Rufus to earn his points.
After everything that had been done, Mato was able to announce the points earned during this event shown on the scoreboard of Grand Magic Games total:
1. Sabertooth 10P
2. Crime Sorcery 8P
3. Lamia Scale 6P
4. Blue Pegasus 4P
5. Mermaid Heel 4P
6. Fairy Tail B 2P
7. Fairy Tail A 1P
8. Quatro Cerberus 0P
Everyone in the audience was surprised to see Fairy Tail teams were able to gain some points but when compared to the powerhouses of Sabertooth Rufus they pity them but not mock them since the last place for the event is Quatro Cerberus.
The member from Quatro Cerberus Jager was sad that he couldn't land any attack on many of the contestants since he was attacked by Ur ice magic constructs or her womanly charm seducing the poor man as he was busy facing other contestants.
The Fairy Tail teams were a bit sad but are happy to know they won't be last place forever keeping each other's faith in their family.
Gray and Juvia were a bit sad they couldn't do more, but they held their heads high knowing this game wasn't over yet and they could do better in the next games.
The other guild members from the other guilds were more than determined to aim for the top since even Sabertooth can be defeated since they didn't come in first it only made them want to fight a lot harder for the spot.
Saber Tooth is at first frustrated that they lost to a group of newcomers of Fairy Tail but regained their confidence by winning the first portion of the games as Rufus discusses with his group, "It was nothing I couldn't overcome. Just because they won the preliminaries doesn't mean they'll win the games, everyone. They just got lucky and will show those members of Fairy Tail who's the strongest Guild around!"
The rest of team Saber Tooth look at each other and nod toward Rufus with words of confidence since they have been champions for years.
When Gray returned to his team he was welcomed back with respect and joy knowing he did his best in the event but didn't respond sitting on his seat contemplating the game as everyone let him have his space to think.
But then all the attention of everyone was suddenly brought back to Chapati as he spoke in an excited tone, "Now let's continue! Let me remind you how the battle system works. Each team will participate in one battle against another based on the line-up which the sponsors prepare."
Then Chapati received a letter then he began to read it to everyone present, "Oh, I've received the lineup now. For the first match of day one, we have Fairy Tail A's Lucy Hearthfilia."
From the Fairy Tail team, A Lucy was surprised that she was the first to go, "Me?"
And Silva exclaimed surprised he wasn't picked, "Wait her?! Why not me!"
Lucy sent a small glare at him as he innocently whistled muttering to himself, "Shutting up now."
Lucy gave a small humph in happiness but then paled what it implied quickly taking it back, "No wait you take my turn damn it!"
Ignoring their interaction Chapati continues surprising the group of who's Lucy opponent would be causing the two to stop, "Versus… Crime Sorcery Ultear!"
Everyone from the Crime Sorcery team went silent except for a smiling Ur and Ultear making Chapati say in confusion, "Huh? Why aren't they cheering and why are they quiet?"
Meanwhile, Silva gives Lucy his sympathy about what will happen playing a small violin, "Well it was nice knowing you, Lucy. But break a leg out there!"
She sent a small glare at Silva causing him to remain standing with a smug expression on his face muttering to him in a defeated tone, "Why didn't they choose you for this match…. And why me god damn it!!"
As Lucy questions the gods the audience keeps saying for the fight to unfold, "YEAH! LET THEM FIGHT ALREADY COME ON!"
Meanwhile, at Fairy Tail A group Lucy was getting a little nervous being first to go off against Ultear a former member of Grimoire Hearts that even their guild couldn't stop Hades in the past making her worry about the outcome of the match.
*Pat*
Feeling Natsu's hand over her shoulder he reassured her trying to be confident giving her all the support she could need in trying to cheer her up, "Come on Lucy! You got this in the bag you can't let some nobody mess with you."
Gray finally responded seeing how worried Lucy was next to speak cheering her up, "Yeah, after our training you should have more confidence in yourself."
Silva responded with a sigh but an eager grin giving her the best of luck in a kind tone, "Yeah Lucy, you show them that Fairy Tail number one, we have to win."
Erza was next to speak to her while having her hand on her shoulder expressing her faith in her friend in a determined tone, "Don't worry Lucy, we might not know her current abilities but that won't stop you we all believe that you can win just try your best alright."
With the support of her friends believing in her to win, Lucy steels herself and then replies to her fellow guild mates, "Yeah thanks guys, I will win this no matter what for our friends."
With that everyone from her team was smiling at her Lucy dropped down from her seat onto the coliseum floor while making some distance away from Ultear as she responded, "Now then Lucy. Let's see the training your group came through was worth the effort and my assistance. But I'm afraid this is a battle I can't afford to lose."
*Shiii*
Reading her Magic Power Lucy trembled at the magnitude however calmed herself down thinking to herself holding her Golden Celestial Keys, 'No way…. She's strong… but so am I. The time the Celestial King took from us took from us angered me. But thankfully Silva told me if he can control time and space when I told him of meeting him… And in return, he returned our time thanks to his Magic living in the Celestial Spirit World… things will be different. I'm not the same girl I used to be anymore…'
With that, the two wizards were now facing in front of each other both glaring down to one another waiting for the announcement to commence their fight.
Chapter 193: The Grand Magic Games (4)
~Third POV~
Between the two of them, they stood ready to fight as the battle began, "BEGIN!"
*Shiii*
Ultear immediately began to attack as Lucy quickly used her Celestial Keys with Ultear's opening move producing an orb, "Sorry Lucy but I'll make this quick. <Flash Forward>!!"
Ultear produces one or numerous copies of their orbs in the air that all represent "future possibilities" of their orb's path, compresses all their futures, and redirects them all at their opponent to have them home on their target in a devastating assault.
*VOOOM*
*VOOOOM*
But Lucy managed to respond placing the Golden Key of the Gate of the Ram into her chest, "Don't think so! <Star Dress: Aries Form>!! And for insurance! Open Gate of the Lion! Leo!"
*Shiii*
Both magic circles appeared as Leo used his Magic to smash through the orbs in a brilliant light announcing his presence, "Now, now missy. It's rude for you to steal my Master's time to shine."
In a brilliant light, Lucy soon changed, borrowing Aries's Magic Power as she incorporated the power of Aries into her body. As a result, they are granted an outfit consisting of a two-toned pink, short woolen hoop dress that ends at the user's mid-thigh level.
The dress leaves their shoulders and arms bare, however, their arms are covered by pink woolen arm warmers and a woolen scarf is wrapped around her neck. Her legs are covered by horizontally striped pink and black leggings. The user bears Aries' zodiac sign tattoo on their left shoulder. The user's hair is styled into bangs framing their face whilst two gold ram horns sit aside their head, behind which a pair of side ponytails emerge.
Leo soon rushes in using his Magic towards Ultear as the orbs remain in his way, "Sorry lady I usually don't punch girls, but I'll make an exception just this once! <Regulus Impact>!!"
*Roooar*
Leo raises his hand engulfed in light and attacks his target by sending the head of a lion, composed of the aforementioned light, at them.
Ultear seeing this merely smirked as she responded as the orbs reflected Leo's light catching him by surprise, "Sorry Leo but I'm afraid this is a bad match-up for you! <Luminous Minutes>!!!"
*Shiii*
Ultear throws an orb above Leo and it multiplies into numerous orbs that charge toward the target similar to light beams reflecting Leo's <Regulus Impact> taking the blows growling but grinning, "Damn lady you hit hard…! But this is nothing to my Master's heart of passion within her!"
*Poof*
Vanishing Ultear eyes dart towards Lucy up above as she uses her <Wool Magic> pouring into her hand holding one of her Golden Keys at the ready, "Thanks Loke for the help! Now take this Ultear!! <Wool Bomb>!!"
*Pssssh*
*Poof*
Lucy conjures up a massive amount of Magical wool, surrounding Ultear. Using the thick wool, she can then ambush her from any given direction, and send them into a relaxed state, bringing the battle to their advantage.
However, Ultear quickly conjures a clock-based sword in an attempt to get rid of the wool as the orbs are stopped by the fluffiness as Lucy prepares her next dress, "Open Gate of the Scorpion! And <Star Dress: Scorpio>!"
*Shiii*
*Ssssssh*
Changing immediately into her Scorpio form Lucy dons a skin-tight outfit, where the front has vertical stripes running downward, and the back of the outfit leaves the wearer's back exposed, as the opening is in the shape of a scorpion's stinger. The limbs of the outfit are dark-colored, with a wavy stripe running downwards by the side of each limb.
The areas such as the shoulders, elbows, knees, legs, and forearms are covered in armor plates, of which the forearm gauntlets leave the hands exposed. The waistline is lightly colored, with lines running across the edges, and has a chain, tail-like protrusion sitting above the wearer's tailbone. The user also dons a headband adorned with the Scorpio zodiac sign on it.
Scorpio reappeared sticking his pose as he readied his attack immediately surprising Ultear from behind, "Aw right! Time to help ya out, Lucy! <Sand Buster>!!"
*PEW*
Shooting a beam of sand causing a sandstorm Lucy followed along able to fly within the sane forcing Ultear to react getting into her Ice Maker pose and announcing her spell freezing the air around them, "Not bad. But not good enough Lucy. <Ice Make: Rosen Krone>!"
*Sheeeee*
Ultear creates giant roses and spiked branches, made out of ice, that surround Lucy and attack her with thorns as she quickly changes immediately with another Golden Key, "<Star Dress: Taurus Form>!!"
*SHIII*
*BAM*
*CRACK*
Breaking through the ice trap of Ultear Taurus emerged coming to back up Lucy holding his battle axe, "Moooo…! Let me take a helping hand, Lucy!"
Lucy shiftily dons an outfit consisting of a bra and sleeves with a cow pattern and pants that leave their right leg entirely revealed. The user also dons a pair of gloves and boots as well as a belt and a bag around their waist. While sporting this dress they use their hair in 2 buns, one at each side of their head also leaving some hair hanging. Additionally, Taurus's zodiac sign is located on the user's belt buckle.
Reaching for the whip in her <Star Dress: Taurus Form> her physical strength increased dramatically as she began to flail her whip around granting Taurus command, "Let's do this Taurus!! <Earth Wave>!!"
*BAM*
*BAM*
Lucy incorporates the power of Taurus into their body and strikes the ground with their whip, causing it to rupture the earth in the area in front of them, damaging anyone above it.
Ultear seeing this tries to flee but can't as Taurus appears forcing her to be on the defensives swinging his axe around in swift movements, "Sorry lady but this cow got to follow his lady demands! Mooo….!"
*Wooosh*
*Woooosh*
*BAM*
Heavily on the defensive Ultear managed to avoid their combined attacks but thought to herself observing the battle arena, 'No. The odd magic isn't here in the arena. Seems like we need to move our search elsewhere. Where could the magic have been siphon ran off too…?'
Seeing as Lucy was about to punch her she saw her ticket to leave allowing Lucy to hit her, "Let's see how about this!! <Lucy Punch>!!!"
*BAM*
"Ack!"
*BAM*
Being sent to the wall managing to hit Ultear on the wall managing to get out she quickly yields surprising Lucy greatly of her strength, "I yield. But damn Lucy…. You do know how to throw a mean punch."
Lucy blinked confused before muttering in complete surprise then into happiness, "Wait I won? No wait I mean I won!!!"
"YEAHHHHH!!!"
"Wooooo!!"
"Look at her man!"
"Who would've thought Fairy Tail had it in them…!!"
"Burh, she had that dog in her!!"
Mato soon announces the victor of the match once Ultear gives a small code light nod, "There you have it folks!! The first win of the battle portion of the Grand Magic Games Lucy Heartfilia!!!"
Everyone was cheering on how close the match was, but Silva remained surprised when he thought about the interaction between Ultear and Moto, 'Interesting… it seems like Ultear dived searching for the unknown magic. Seems like they are helping us but…'
Silva merely mentally shrugged it off considering they gained a point, and he wasn't going to let Lucy's happy mood be ruined today so he kept it to himself as he thought, 'After all where in the games to have fun? I won't ruin Lucy's mood for that and who knows she might've needed that confidence boost.'
After earning themselves a point they merely saw the fights between other teammates as Silva leaned his back witnessing the spectacle congratulating Lucy for her win.
However, the next match caught Silva's attention when the announcer voiced the next match getting everyone's attention as Chapati spoke in an excited tone, "From Fairy Tail B, we have Gildarts the Ace of Fairy Tail VS. Lamia's Scale Jura Neekis!!!!"
The two eyed each other as they began to enter the field. Silva spoke surprised for this match-up, "Whoa…! This will certainly be an interesting match to see huh?"
Natsu merely grinned with Happy behind him spouting out loud in a happy tone, "No way that old man would lose! Gildarts have this in the bag!"
Gray curtly nods his head agreeing with Natsu's statement between the two in a confident tone, "Yeah. Gildarts is still the powerhouse of Fairy Tail. He ain't losing any time soon."
Silva laughed agreeing with the two as they watched the match between Gildars and Jura commenting as he shrugs his shoulders in an understanding tone, "Hahaha! True. True. He won't be an easy target to knock down so this will certainly be an interesting match but it's a shame Jura had to meet a strong counter on the first round."
Everyone in the group nodded as Gildarts and Jura both stood face to face with each other as the announcer Moto spoke out, "BEGIN!"
*VOOOOM*
*BOOOM*
*BAM*
*BOOOOM*
The match between the two began intense as Jura jumped back keeping his distance with his Earth Magic summoning Golems below Gildarts to trap him in return he rushed forward his fist coated with <Crush> Magic breaking through them with ease.
The fight between the two only got more intense as Mavis spoke confidently witnessing Gildart Magic Power commenting for Silva to hear, "This match is truly an unfair counter for the enemy. Gildarts <Crush Magic> makes this a stalling match no matter what Jura can do…. Gildarts will crush it to pieces. Such an unfortunate fight between the two."
Silva nodded in agreement scratching the back of his head and replying in agreement, "Yup! That's our Gildarts for you. If he sees a problem, punch it with crush magic. See an attack crush it. Need to take a shit and crush it. See his magic isn't working he isn't crushing hard enough so he hits harder. See where I'm going with this?"
Mavis chuckled at Silva's scenario of what Gildart's solution to any problem, "Yup! Still feeling pity about him punching you in the past?"
Silva's response was turning around pouting getting a laugh out of Mavis as the Grand Magic Games fight soon ended in Gildart's victory just as the both of them expected.
When the games nearly ended for the day Carla's eyes widened receiving a brief flash because of her precog alerting Wendy in a concerned tone, "Carla? What's up? You seemed to have been spooked?"
Carla tried to reassure Wendy in a calm tone as the vision she received worried her greatly she witnessed, 'A white knight… and a huge magic pattern. The Mercurius Palace crumbling and singing amid the ruins… Lucy…'
However, this didn't go unnoticed by Silva using Spectator to peer into Carla's mind witnessing the visions confirming with a light nod, 'I see… so Future Rogue is coming soon. Better inform the King to allow me free reign of a threat. He has more power than that annoying princess. She just can't take a joke of ants in her pants I swear… sigh…'
