After Natsu and Sora checked up on Lucy, they ran to their teams.

"Is Lucy okay?" Mira asked.

"Yeah. She said she was going to take a shower." Sora replied. After talking to the others, she bent down to the railing. "Is the second match starting yet?"

"Yep."

"Yay! Who's fightin' each other?"

"Ren from Blue Pegasus and Arania from Mermaid Heel." Jellal said.

"This should be exciting." Gajeel said as he crossed his arms over his chest.

Meanwhile in the arena, Ren and Arania were circling around each other, waiting for the first to attack.

"It looks like you've improved your skills since last year, Arania." Ren said, smirking.

"Is it alright for someone of Pegasus to attack a woman, I wonder?" Arania asked.

"Second match! It seems like neither side is yielding an inch!" Chapati said.

"Hmm...It's a good match." Yajima smiled.

"Ren, good luck! Sherry's cheering you on from here, too!" Jenny yelled.

Catching him off guard, Arania attacked him; using her webs, she sent them his way. "You're full of openings, Ren."

As Blue Pegasus cheered Ren on, Magi wondered on who to cheer on.

"I'm gonna cheer on Miss Arania." Morg said.

"Isn't that a bit stereotypical...?" Sin asked. Glaring at him, Sin shut up. 'As always, women stick together...' Sighing, he bended over. Looking towards a cheering Sora, he smiled.

"Hey, guys! Look towards Blue Pegasus." As Aladdin finished his sentence, he pointed towards the Ooba spinning a man.

"Shut up! Go spin off!" Ooba screamed as she spun the man.

"I'm already spiiiiiinnnniiiinnnggg!"

Sweat dropping, the nervously laughed.

"I'd hate to be in a Guild with her..." Muu said.

"You and me both..." everyone said, aside from Kouen.

Running away from Ara, Ren looked towards Jenny. "We-we're not engaged or anything like that! We're just resigned to being together! That's it!"

"So cruel!" Magi, Blue Pegasus, and Sora said.

"You're always hanging around me...It's irritating..." After he did a summersault, he looked away from Sherry. "But...when you're not by my side, I'm just not at my best." Blushing, he didn't bear to look at her.

'He likes her...' Sweat dropping, they all sighed.

"Make up your mind, ya giant flirt!" Sora shouted, getting fed up with his cheesy lines.

"Oh, Ren..." Sherry sighed out of happiness as she held her hands against her cheeks.

"Why do they keep falling for these annoying types?" Yuka said.

"It's love!" Sherria said.

"When I'm in front of you, I simply can't allow you to see me looking uncool...Aerial Phose!" After swinging his hands in a circular motion, bringing them forward, he created a small cyclone that surrounded Ara, destroying her webs in the process.

"The winner is Ren Akatsuki from Blue Pegasus! Blue Pegasus has earned 14 points for day one!" As Chapati announced, Ren puffed out some oxygen. "Mermaid Heel has 3 points, so far!"

"Augh, I let my guard down." Ara said, looking down.

Screaming out of joy, Jenny took Yajima's hand and shook it really fast. "That's our Ren!"

"He's gotten better in the last 7 years, as expected." Erza said as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"Don't tell me Ichiya's strong now, too?!" Natsu asked.

"Natsu...how can you say that?" Confusing him, she explained herself. "Ichiya has always been a powerful wizard...though his personality is somewhat odd. He is, without a doubt, the most powerful wizard in Blue Pegasus."

Natsu started to sweat profusely. "I-I had no idea."

Looking at the rabbit man, she narrowed her eyes. "But I'm more concerned about whoever is in that rabbit suit."

"Oh, good, we are supposed to be bothered by that! I thought maybe I shouldn't say anything." Elfman said.

"Ichiya, huh? Suddenly, I wanna fight him!" Natsu said.

"And on to the 3rd match of day 1! Quatro Cerberus' Warcry V.S. Sabertooth's Olga Nanagia!" Chapati announced. Hence, the audience cheered for Sabetooth while Quatro cheered for their Guildmate.

Annoyed, Sora looked away from Olga. "I ain't cheerin' for a stupid Guild like that!...At least, not with those two jerks in the Arena..."

Laughing, Sting smirked. "It's Warcry! Watch this! I love his magic."

"It certainly is a sight to see, if I remember." Rufus said.

"Not interested." Rogue said as he started walking away. 'The only one I'm interested in...is you...Gajeel." Stealing a glance at Gajeel, he looked towards Sora as she Glared at Sting and him.

"Hey, Rogue! What's wrong?" Watching him tense up, blush, and look away as he walked, Sting looked towards what he was looking at. Upon seeing Sora, he winked at her.

With Sora, once she saw Sting wink at her, her anger increased. "Why that little- How dare he!" Shaking with anger, she flipped him off. Chuckling, Sting smirked at her, winking at her again. "Are you kiddin' me?!" Hence, she made a cutting motion on her neck.

"Sorry, Sora. But I like feisty ones." Smirking, Sting went back to watching Warcry.

Before Sora could march her way towards him, Laxus held her back. "Let me go! I'm gonna kill him!"

Meanwhile, Lily crossed his arms over his chest. "Now we can finally see how Sabertooth fights."

"Do you think he's as strong as Mr. Masquerade?" Happy asked.

With Saber, Fro asked Lector, "Who do you think will win, Lector?"

"Who do you think I think'll win? Olga, duh!" Crossing his arms over his chest, Lector did his almighty speech. "Sting's the best, but everyone in our Guild is tough! How can you not know that? You're so stupid, Frosch."

"Fro thinks so too."

As the gong was heard, Chapati screamed, "Let the 3rd match begin!"

Tearing up, Warcry looked straight into Olga's eyes.

"There it is, already! Olga...can you dodge that?" Sting said.

"We'll see." Rufus closed his eyes as he looked down.

As Olga merely watched many tears come out, Chapati said, "There it is: Warcry's Tear Magic!"

"What a name." Yajima said.

"What the heck is Tear Magic?!" Sora asked, thinking it was a total downer.

"Who knows..."

"The more tears a man sheds...the stronger...he be-" Before Warcry could finish his sentence, Olga sent a giant electric ball towards him, sending him flying.

Smirking, Sting looked to see Sora's astonished face. "Maybe she'll wanna quit that lame Guild and join Sabertooth."

"Lightning..." Laxus said.

Shaking, Lily closed his ears. "Thun...der..."

"...One hit..." Happy said.

After Warcry fell backwards when he hit the ground, Chapati announced, "And it's over! Olga's black lightning scorches those tears in the blink of an eye! The winner is Olga Nanagia from Sabertooth! That's a total of 20 points! A perfect score for day 1! Quatro Cerberus has only 2 points! Too bad!"

However, Sting was unamused. "You could've given us a little more of a show, Olga."

Looking towards him, Olga turned away, and started walking in the center of the Arena. "I'll go sing a song."

Sweat dropping, Sting said, "That's not what I meant..."

Hence, Olga magically brought a microphone out, and started singing. "We're the best, we're the best! We're number 1! We're the unstoppable Sabertooth!" As the audience laughed, Fairy Tail and Magi covered their ears.

"He's as bad as you, Gajeel!" Sora said as she covered her ears.

"What does that mean?!" Marching up to her, Gajeel towered over her.

"Exactly like how you play: it's terrible!"

"I'll have you know that I'm very serious when it comes to singing!"

"Well, I guess you're serious about killin' our hearing!"

As they argued, Team B sweat dropped.

"You think we should stop 'em?..." Jellal asked.

"I think it would be best to leave 'em be..." Laxus said.

Meanwhile, Mavis watched Olga with seriousness. "Skill, popularity...they really are the most powerful Guild."

"I hate to admit it, but they're really incredible." Romeo said.

After Olga finished his 'singing', Chapati announced, "We now come to the final match of day 1! The only teams we have yet to see are Fairy Tail Team B and Lamia Scale."

"This should be an interesting fight. The two Guilds were once evenly matched in skill." Yajima said.

"For Fairy Tail B, we have Mystogan...V.S...Lamia Scale's Jura Neekis!"

"I wonder what his magic's like..." Aladdin said.

"It should still be the same." Alibaba said.

"Do you think he's got new tricks up his sleeves?"

"We'll have to wait and see..." Morg said.

"I sure hope Fairy Tail could score some points!" Sin said.

"Wouldn't that be nice..." Kouen said.

"Let's just hope they'll actually win a match." Muu said.

"Good luck, Mystogan!" They all shouted.

As the crowd cheered, Erza started to be alert. 'They put Jellal in on the first day?! And against Jura!'

"In this corner, we have the mysterious masked wizard Mystogan-even in his own Guild, only a few have seen his face." Chapati said, confusing the crowd. "And in this corner, we have one of this event's favorite for MUP, one of the 10 Wizard Saints, Jura Neekis!"

Shacking his head, Laxus held his temples in two fingers. "This is not our day."

"To think he'd be pitted against Jura." Mira said.

"Is Baldy that powerful?" Gajeel asked, looking towards Mira.

"If Erza and I teamed up, we still might not beat him."

"Hey! Don't say that! Je-Mystogan will win this, for sure!" Sora said.

"...You can count on me." Making sure his mask doesn't come off, he looked towards his friends, nodding towards them.

Patting his back, Sora smiled at him. "Good luck out there! Make sure to win this battle!"

Nodding, Jellal started walking towards the center, thinking about Wendy, Lucy, and Gray.

Once Jura and him stood in the center, Jura smirked. "Personally, I would love to see Fairy Tail do well in this competition, but my Master would throw a fit. My apologies, but I won't be holding back."

'This isn't exactly in line with my goals.' As Jellal kept his head down, he looked up. 'But nothing makes me happier...than being given the chance to fight for Fairy Tail.' "Nor will I."
