After Fairy Tail A's victory over Raven Tail, a few more matches had gone down.

Firstly, Ren Akatsuki from Blue Pegasus against Arana Webb from Mermaid Heel. After a short struggle, Ren managed to come out victorious over Arana, earning Blue Pegasus 10 points for the match.

After that, Quatro Cerberus' Warcry faced off against Orga from Sabertooth. Er...Orga ended the match in less than a minute. As a matter of fact, he actually ended the entire fight with a single attack...

He then proceeded to kill everyone's ears- I mean sing a song. Yes, that's it.

Then, the final match of the day had begun between Jura and Jellal, under the guise of Mystogan, which ended in a...strange, ending to say the least. However, due to strange circumstances, Jura had emerged victorious.

It would've been Juvia...however, she wanted to rest for a while after her initial embarrassing failure over Hidden.

After that, the battles had ended for the day, and soon enough, the second day was upon the contestants.

The second even, Chariot, had begun. The whole idea of the event was to reach the end of the moving chariots without falling off, however, the vehicles were constantly moving, making it slightly more difficult to accomplish movement atop them while also dealing with the other competitors.

After all the competitors had been chosen, the game had finally begun.

...And almost immediately, every single Guild had left Fairy Tail, Crimson Wrath and Sabertooth behind...Gajeel had gone from Fairy Tail, Natsu had gone from Crimson Wrath, and Sting had gone from Sabertooth. And they all forgot a Dragon Slayer's biggest weakness...motion sickness.

"Ugh...this wasn't the smartest idea..." Gajeel groaned, struggling to calm his stomach.

"In all fairness...bleh...one of us had to take one for the team...bleh...since we're all...Dragon Slayers..." Natsu struggled to speak, inching forward at a decent pace.

"Yeah...not my brightest...moment..." Sting spoke as he crashed into the floor, trying his hardest to contain his food within him.

Meanwhile...literally everyone else had passed them. Ichiya, Bacchus and John had kept the lead, meanwhile Elfman, Kurohebi, Yuka and Risley followed behind.

Seeing him slowly struggle forward, a perplexed look formed on Sting's face.

"Say, Natsu-san...why did you leave Fairy Tail? You were the idol of many people, you know. As hard as I've tried to find out, I can't see why you left Fairy Tail, even with how much you seemed to love being there." Sting slowly asked his idol, watching Natsu stop moving completely, a shadow casting over his eyes.

"Is he going to...?" Ethan wondered, watching his best friend tense up at the question.

"...Not yet. I think I'll play with the Fairies for a bit longer. I simply got a hard slap of reality, is all. I realized Fairy Tail wasn't my home any longer...so I went to find the place where I truly belonged." Natsu smiled brightly, though no one could see how fake it was.
