A particular white-haired teen looked out the town of Magnolia from the window. His stare moved over to the Fairy Tail guild building.

He smirked. The Magnolia Harvest Festival is right around the corner, and so is The Battle of Fairy Tail.

"Sir Raiden, all preparations are set." A voice spoke.

Raiden chuckled and stood up from his seat and walked towards the other side of the room.

------

"Let's stuff our faces off!!" Nasha cheered. Running around town with Calypso, Greige, and Reiki.

"Aye Sir!!!" Calypso giggled.

"Say, where's Alice?" Nasha asked. "There's this stall I want to show her."

"She's with Shutora, they're preparing for the Miss Fairy Tail contest," Greige answered.

"How come you're not participating Nasha?" Calypso asked. "The prize money is a lot higher this year."

Nasha huffed. "There's nothing in this world that would make me wear girly stuff."

"But most of the girls would be wearing swimsuits," Calypso said. Flying over to Nasha. "Besides, Greige is one of the judges, I bet he'd love seeing you in those." The cat snickered.

"Shut up!!" Nasha exclaimed. Her cheeks were glowing red.

"Nasha's fashion sense is a bit boyish," Greige commented. "The only reason why people don't mistake her for a guy is because of her chest." He chuckled.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?!" Nasha turned her gaze over to Greige. "Are you trying to pick a fight frosty?!"

Greige chuckled. "I'm just stating facts, why are you so affected?"

Nasha growled and lit up her fist and was about to punch Greige when Reiki intervened.

"No fighting, save it for later."

------

"Welcome to the one and only Miss Fairy Tail contest." The blue-haired emcee exclaimed, starting the show.

"I, the Puppeteer Damon will be your host for today!" The blue-haired emcee introduced himself.

"Before we move on to our girls let me introduce you to our judge's panel first."

"He's got the Beauty and the Brawns!! Give it up for Elwin Strauss." Elwin stood from his seat and smiled and waved at everyone.

"He's Magnolia's, Prince Charming. Greige Fullbuster!!" Greige simply smiled, and his fangirls cheered for him at the back.

"Lastly, our very special guest, Fairy Tail's beloved 3rd, 6th, and 8th guild master. Master Makarov is here!!"

Makarov who is sitting in between Elwin and Greige chuckled. "No need to be that specific Damon."

Damon moved over to the side of the stage. "I don't want you guys to wait anymore. So let's start this thing!!"

"Contestant #1. The exotic beauty that will Slytherin into your hearts. Erica Cubellios!!"

Erica walked forward to the stage wearing her usual outfit as the crowd cheered for her.

Erica giggled as snakes slithered out of her sleeves and in a flash of white light, her outfit changed into a dark green swimsuit with a snake scales print. Her snakes' slithering and dancing, and her arms and fingers. The crowd went wild.

"Contestant # 2, she's beautiful as she is graceful. The embodiment of a true lady. Elizabeth Strauss!!"

"My my what an intro." Elizabeth walked onto the stage wearing a sparkling white tutu.

"I'll be performing a little dance for everyone." Elizabeth smiled. "Greige if you please."

Greige nodded and moved over to the side of the stage, where a piano stood.

Greige started playing the music from the sheet in front of him as Elizabeth danced gracefully.
In the midst of it all, gold glitter started appearing, enveloping Elizabeth. The glitter exploded and scattered everywhere, revealing Elizabeth in an entirely different outfit. She's now wearing an Aurora-themed tubed leotard and gold pumps. She danced a bit more before the music ended. Greige stood-up and went back to his seat.

"Contestant #3, she's both feisty and adorable, give it up for Asuka Connel!!"

Asuka stepped onto the stage and twirled the gun in her hand.

Asuka has grown over the years. Her long dark green hair is tied up in a neat low ponytail, and an orange cowgirl hat sits on top of her head. She's wearing a dark red crop top with tassels at the bottom, a denim mini skirt, a gun holster on her right thigh, and a pair of brown cowgirl boots.

"Happy, can you come over here for a sec," Asuka said. The blue cat complied and flew over to her.

Asuka pulled out an apple and placed it on top of Happy's head.

"Stay there." Asuka smiled as she stepped away from the cat.

"A-Asuka-chan." Happy called for the woman. His voice and body were visibly shaking.

"Don't worry about it." Asuka giggled. Pulling out a blindfold and wrapping it around her eyes. Happy noticed this and panicked even more.

"Asuka-chan please don't." Happy begged.

"C'mon Happy she got this!!" Natsu shouted.

"Easy for you to say!! You're not the one with a target over your head!!"

Asuka aimed her gun toward the cat. "Ready?"

"NO!!! I DON'T WANNA BE HERE!!! ASUKA-CHAN I DON'T WANNA DIE!!!" Happy panicked.

Asuka took a deep breath and fired her gun. Happy closed his eyes as tightly as possible.

The bullet went straight through the apple, making it explode.

"Am I dead?" Happy asked.

"No, you're not silly." Asuka giggled, taking off her blindfold.

Happy sighed in relief, and the crowd erupted into cheers.

"Wow." Alice who was watching from backstage gasped in amazement.

"That's Asuka-chan for you." Shutora chuckled.

"Contestant #4. Her talent and power are S-Class level. Give it up for Fairy Tail's punk rock diva. Shutora Redfox!!"

"That's my cue." Shutora stepped forward with an electric guitar.

Shutora smiled and started playing until it escalated into a rift that Shutora executed perfectly. The crowd went wild.

"I still have no clue where she got that talent from," Greige commented.

"Honestly me either," Elwin added.

"Contestant #5. Fairy Tail's star rookie. She'll capture you with her stunning beauty. Alice Finley!!"

"Alright, let's do this." Alice hyped herself up and walked onto the stage.

The crowd cheered for her.

"Is she one of the new members?" Makarov asked.

"She is, Master." Elwin nodded.

"You might also be quite familiar with her magic," Greige said.

Alice stood her ground on stage, then, chains erupted beneath her spiraling around her body.

"She uses chain magic." Makarov gasped. "Haven't seen that one in a while." The old man smiled.

The chains then exploded into tiny little particles and Alice stood on stage wearing a black swimsuit in which the straps were made out of tiny gold chains. The crowd went wild.

"Contestant #6. She might be fashionably late but she's here to stay and slay. Sylvia Fullbuster!!"

"Sylvia?!"

"She's back?!"

"Heya~." A voice behind them said. A hand landed on Elwin and Greige's shoulders. Startling both of them. Thus, Greige turned into a puddle.

"Oops."

Greige turned back to normal and looked back to see a familiar blonde.

"You," Greige growled. Greige hates it when he turns into a puddle out of shock.

"Sorry, my bad." The blonde chuckled.

Sylvia walked in. Her dark curled hair cascaded all the way down to her back. She's wearing a black crop top underneath, a white coat, a gray pleated mini skirt, and black thigh-high boots. She turned her body into water and once her body returned to normal, she was now wearing a dark blue swimsuit, black stockings, and black heels. The crowd goes wild.

"By the way, it's not my fault I'm late," Sylvia said. "I'm blaming you, Luke." Sylvia pointed at the blonde standing behind Greige.

"Hey! It's not my idea to play Smash Bros all day long after the mission!!" The blonde named Luke complained, glaring at the white-haired teen next to him.

"It might have been Raiden's idea but you're the one who's most excited to play Smash Bros after the mission." The green-haired teen chuckled.

"Touche, Caleb. Touche." Luke accepted his defeat.

"Big Brother!!" A sweet voice cheered and ran towards the white-haired teen and hugged him. "What took you so long?"

"Luke really wants to play Smash Bros so blame him." The green-haired teen kneeled to face Nova at eye level.

"Hey!!" Luke complained.

"Raiden." Laxus stepped in together with Mira.

"Old Man." Raiden went ahead and faced his father in the eye.

"Welcome back Raiden." Mira smiled and greeted the teen upon his arrival. Raiden simply nodded in acknowledgment.

"Say, Nova told me you've been going on a lot of missions lately," Makarov said.

"I have." Raiden nodded. "I can handle myself, besides I have those idiots with me." Raiden pointed at Caleb and Luke, who were talking to Nova.

"Dad's already worried about me enough, there's no need to make a huge fuss over it." Raiden chuckled.

"He seems really worried yesterday," Makarov commented.

"No, I'm not." Laxus denied.

Nova moved over to his brother and whispered. "Don't listen to him. He really is."

Raiden looked at his sister and mouthed an 'I know' with a cheeky smile on his face.

------

In the end, Elizabeth is crowned Miss Fairy Tail. There's no competition. The girl literally went in and danced like a real-life fairy.

"That was fun." Alice smiled.

"It really is wasn't it." Shutora giggled.

"And I got to meet Sylvia-chan. She's even prettier in person." Alice giggled.

Sylvia then walked over to Alice and slung her arm over the latter's shoulder.

"So, I heard some rumors that you and my brother are a sort of an item."

Alice's face became redder by the second. "Yo-you go-got it all wrong!!"

"I'm only kidding." Sylvia chuckled. "But you gotta meet the others, c'mon." Sylvia then dragged Alice over to the guild's bar.

"Guys!! Guess who I met." Sylvia shouted. Gathering the attention of her teammates.

"Oh, is she Greige's new girlfriend~." The green-haired teen chuckled in a teasing manner.

Alice's cheeks reddened once more. "I'm just messing with ya!" The green-haired teen laughed. "My name is Caleb, Caleb Alberona."

"This one is Luke but we call him Lukas." Caleb then motioned over to the blonde-haired teen that was sitting next to him.

"You're Nasha's brother, right? She told me a couple of things about you." Alice said.

"Did she now." Luke smiled.

"And this guy over here." Caleb then pointed over to the white-haired teen who was cleaning up mugs over the bar. "He's Raiden Dreyar."

Alice felt a surge of an intimidating aura the moment he looked at her, but it automatically disappeared as soon as he spoke.

"You're Alice, correct?"

"Yeah." Alice nodded.

"Gramps told me you have the same magic as Master Hades." He said.

"Apparently so." Alice nodded. "I'm not very good at it though. But I've been improving ever since I joined the guild. At least, that's what Greige told me."

"He has such a way with words." Sylvia sighed.

Alice smiled and then it hit her.

"Hold on, are you guys perhaps..."

"We're the Neo Thunder Legion!!! The strongest team in all of Fairy Tail!!" Luke shouted with pride.
