Your POV:

*The Grand Magic Games, day 3: Battle portion. Match 1, Mermaid Heel's Millianna, VS Quatro Puppy, Semas.*

Semas: Wi... Wild...

Millianna: Super strong ?

*Victor, Millianna*

Erza: You've improved, Millianna.

Lucy: Getting bound by that whip has nothing to do with that setup from earlier...

Wendy: Bound... Huh.

"... I require more of that 'Unhear' juice."

Natsu: I had a hard time against her, too...

*Match 2: Sabertooth's Rufus, VS Blue Pegasus' eve Tearm*

Eve: White Fang !!

Rufus: Hm. I'm memorizing that magic.

Chapati: Two people who met in day 1's competition portion collide once more in day 3's battle portion !

Yajima: Eve was originally with the council, wasn't he ?

Lahar: That's correct. He was a rune knight and member of the custody enforcement unit, the same as us. He was always an outstanding talent, but... After entering a guild, his magical power has been polished further.

Rufus: Memory make...

Gray: There it is !

"What kind of molding magic is that... ?"

Mew: A magic that gives form to memories...

Mavis: An ancient spell.

Eve: Kuh...

Chapati: The match is over ! Eve... He put up a valiant effort against Rufus but to no avail ! The victor, Sabertooth's Rufus ! Strong as expected !!

Gray: 'Memory make... Defeating him is my job.'

Ren: How could Eve lose like that... Shit ! But... He really tried his best...

Hibiki: Master... We've really fallen in the rankings...

Ichiya: Be at ease, like a flower's perfume... We still have a secret weapon.

Rabbit costume: ... ... ...

Ichiya: We have a secret weapon. It's very important, so I said it a second time.

Ren: Thank you for the lesson.

Hibiki: In any case, his real identity... Who could it be ? If even we weren't told about it...

Ren: Could it be, that it's not one of our members ? That would be against the rules, wouldn't it ?

Mato: Next up, let' start the third match ! Pumpkin.

Chapati: FAIRY TAIL B'S LAXUS DREYAR, VS. RAVEN TAIL'S ALEXEI !

Natsu: It's Laxus !

"And he's going against Raven Tail, Ivan's guild..."

Mirajane: Go Laxus !

Gajeel: There should be nothing to worry about.

Cana: Hey, it's Laxus, after all.

Juvia: But... Juvia feels some sort of unpleasant premonition...

Chapati: Since the first day it's turned into a father-and-son showdown, hu, Yajima.

Yajima: Hmm. Lahar, you brought along people from your unit, right ?

Lahar: Eh ? Yes, regulations and such.

Yajima: Look out for Raven Tail. If there is any impropriety, stop the match immediately.

Makarov: Warren.

Warren: Understood. HQ here, Bisca, can you hear me ?

Bisca: What do you mean "HQ" Warren ? No movement from Master Ivan, over.

Warren: Understood. Team Raijin guard/Lisanna, how about on your end ?

Lisanna: Raijin guard/Lisanna here. No conspicuous movements from Raven Tail's current location. We won't let things be like the first day, little ravens.

Freed: Just try to injure Laxus' pride. We, the Raijin guard, cannot make guarantees for your lives.

Bickslow: Ever says she'd like to go back and go on a date with Elfman, so please give permission, over.

Evergreen: I NEVER SAID THAT !

Makarov: Mew...

Mew: Entire arena has been scouted. No traps or suspicious magical devices whatsoever.

Makarov: ... Ivan, I won't allow your cowardly tactics a second time.

Mavis: Fufu...

Makarov: Is something the matter, first ?

Mavis: No, nothing at all. You'll do anything to protect your friends. I'm enjoying the situation just a little bit. It's splendid. The ultimate form of the guild that I've hoped for, is now right before my eyes. Please don't forget this, third... Um... Or was is sixth ?

Makarov: *Sob* Thank you for those words... And it's seventh, actually.

Mew: It's sixth. Get a hold of yourself... Both parties, are going to the front.

Chapati: START THE MATCH !!

Laxus: From my old man's guild, huh... Who are you...

"Okay, first: WHAT. And second: THE FUCK ?!"

Gray: That masked guy is... Beating Laxus... ?!

"N- No, that's not exactly what I was... 'Mew, answer !'"

Mew: I know.

Mirajane: That...

Gajeel: You're kidding... That masked guy...

Chapati: These are raging attacks from Alexei ! Laxus can't lift a finger !

Laxus: What's the meaning of this...

Alexei: It's a kind of illusion magic. The others around here can't see our real bodies, the ones that are talking right now, nor can they hear our voices. Rather, right now they're watching illusions fighting. Well done, right ? Not a single person has noticed.

"*Coughing*"

Alexei: No one has noticed. The spectators are watching a scene of that Laxus unable to even lift a finger.

Makarov: Why is Laxus so one-sidely getting...

Warren: Bisca !

Bisca: Ivan hasn't moved.

Warren: Raijin guard/Lisanna !

Lisanna: Nothing from here either, probably...

Freed: Impossible ! Laxus ! Hurry up and fight for real !!

Bickslow: Damn it...

Makarov: What's happening ?!

Mew: Nothing right now...

Makarov: What ?

Alexei: It seems like you're admired even in the guild. I wonder what your friends are feeling right now, as they watch this.

Laxus: Hey, I don't understand your intentions at all. What' the point of you winning with an illusion ?

Alexei: Exactly. Our aim isn't "Victory". This illusion is just a smokescreen.

Laxus: Huh ?

Alexei: Illusions are illusions. We can change the results however we'd like. Depending on our discussion, I can even let you win.

Laxus: ... There's nothing to discuss. This has nothing to do with illusions. Right here, right now, I'll dispose of you and put an end to this.

Flare: That's impossible.

Nullpudding: Reality sure is cruel...

Alexei: Even you wouldn't be able to simultaneously defeat all of Raven Tail's elite.

Kurohebi: Ku ku...

Obra: ... ...

Alexei: And, one more thing...

Ivan: You should know of my strength, right ? Stupid son.

Laxus: ... I figured it would be like that. Shitty pops.

Ivan: Makarov would die before he opened his mouth. But you're different. Let's have you tell us, shall we ? The location of "Lumen Histoire".

Laxus: ... What are you talking about ?

Ivan: You don't have to pretend... Makarov must have told you.

Laxus: I really don't know... And even if I did, I wouldn't tell you.

Ivan: Oi oi... You're saying that you'd pass on a "Victory" even under these hopeless circumstances? If you won't accept the conditions, then... Just having your illusion lose wouldn't be enough...

Laxus: You always did things in such a roundabout manner... And I know all about how Gramps cut you out... Bring it on, all of you at once. Master's enemies are my enemies, after all.

Ivan: It seems you need to be taught a lesson. About the strength of Raven Tail, the specialized anti-fairy Tail guild.

Laxus: ... A specialized Anti-Fairy Tail guild ?

Flare: That's right.

Ivan: We've gathered members and mastered techniques to match all of Fairy Tail's weaknesses.

Kurohebi: Amongst those, we are the elite four.

Ivan: Do you mean to go to war with us ? I am well-aware of your weaknesses. Shall we release the power that our guild has been accumulating these past 7 years ?

Laxus: Gramps has thoroughly investigated you. You guild numbers, activities, funds. We know everything that has gone on these past 7 years.

Ivan: What ?!

Flare: It was Gajeel ! He tricked us !!

Ivan: So he was a double agent...

Laxus: Even though gramps knew that much, he didn't make a move on you.

Laxus: Is it really alright to leave them like that ? You said that he has some information that could hurt Fairy Tail, didn't you ?

Makarov: It's already been 7 years since then. There has been no evidence of any leak of "That" information.

Laxus: I ain't sure if I buy that.

Makarov: There's no doubt about it... I'm sure he understands the risk of telling others "That information".

Laxus: What's "That information" anyway ?

Makarov: It's better if you don't know. Every guild has their own dirty little secret. Ivan has done no harm to our guild members these past 7 years. As long as he doesn't make a move, I have no intention of making things worse.

Laxus: Gramps... Probably believed in you somewhere in the depths of his heart. Because you're father and son.

Ivan: SILENCE !!

Ivan: I've lived in the shadows all for this day !! All to obtain Lumen Histoire !! You thought I didn't want to hurt you these past 7 years ?! I didn't because there's no way an expelled member like you would know anything about it !! the guild, the city, Tenrou island , every place related to the guild... I've searched them all ! Even so, I couldn't find it !! Where is Lumen Histoire ?! Where is it !! TELL ME !! LAXUSSS !! AREN'T YOU MY SON ?!!

Ivan: OBRA !! Do it !! Take away his magic power !! Now is the time to release our anti-Fairy Tail magic power !!

Laxus: He's the one who did Wendy and Carla in, huh...

Flare: Crimson hair !!

Nullpudding: Needle Blast !!

Laxus: This one's for Gray.

Nullpudding: UGHHHHHH !!

Flare: I've got you now !!

Laxus: This is for Lucy !!

Flare: GYAAAAAAH !!

Ivan: I- Impossible...

Laxus: You guys just don't get it.

Ivan: O- Our elite troops !!

Laxus: I ain't got a clue what your goal is, but I'll hold you responsible for hurting my friends !

Ivan: W- WAIT !! I'M YOUR FATHER !! WE'RE FAMILY !! ARE YOU GOING TO HIT YOUR FATHER ?!!

Laxus: My family is Fairy Tail ! And I will crush my family's enemies !!

Chapati: What in the world... ?!

"Looks like the real fight was way shorter than they wanted us to believe."

Natsu: Laxus !!

Gray: Laxus disappeared ! What is this other Laxus ?!

Makarov: IVAN !! An illusion ?! What happened ?!

Mato: He... he's the guild master ! Pumpkin !! Alexei's real identity was master Ivan ! Pumpkin !

Chapati: The fight earlier was an illusion ?! The one standing is Laxus !! Game Over !! In a place where we could not see, he was under attack by 5 people... The master also participated... No matter how you look at it, it's foul play !

Crowd: he single-handedly crushed Raven Tail !! Even Erza and Cana earlier were fantastic ! Ain't Fairy Tail full of beasts !!

Chapati: At any rate, the victor is... FAIRY TAIL B, LAXUS DREYAR !!

Gray: S- Somehow it seems like I asked him to take down my enemy.

Natsu: WHAAAAAAT !! he defeated them all ?! He just wanted to show off !

Lucy: ... He didn't have to hurt Flare that badly.

"You're too nice for your own good, Lucy."

Makarov: Ivan... You played a dirty hand...

Mew: But sadly, trying to pull 5 aces out of your sleeve doesn't make you win...

Ivan: Laxus... Today is my loss. But, know this much... Lumen Histoire is Fairy Tail's darkness. Eventually you will come to know... Fairy Tail's true colors.

Laxus: ... ... ...

"Interesting outcome. I hope it wasn't too hard for you ?"

Laxus: Shut up, and take back that stupid rock with you. I don't need any help, and certainly not from you.

"To think I just wanted to lend a hand... It did help to realize something was off, I guess."

Laxus: Fuck off. One day, we'll finish what started at the cathedral.

"... i'm looking forward to that."
