Gohan & Piccolo's Fairy Tail (Gohan x Erza x Ultear) (Piccolo x Mirajane)

The Introduction of Mermaid Heel; Kagura vs Yukino

The GMG Opening Ceremony

Team Fairy Tail A gets ready in the Domus Flau for the opening ceremony of the grand magic games. As they discuss their team outfits and the number of people who have attended to the event. Gohan took a liking to his outfit and Piccolo at first disliked his outfit but immediately changed his view for the outfit and he likes it now. Vowing to do their best in the tournament for the guilds reputation and for their 7 year absence, Gohan, Piccolo, Natsu, Gray, Lucy, Erza, Imitatia, Juvia and Wendy walk out to meet the crowd, introduced by the day announcers, Chapati Lola, Yajima and Jenny Realight from Blue Pegasus. However as they walk out, they notice the crowd jeering at them, which Gohan and Piccolo somehow predicted in their minds that this was going to happen. But not for long till the crowd really take a good hard look at FT and they'll change their point of view and realize they were wrong to jeer at them. Gohan, Piccolo and others look over at Makarov, Happy, Carla and rest of the guild members cheering for them and supporting them. And they're even shocked to see Mavis cheering along with them. Continuing, the commentators introduce the other guilds that have passed the Sky Labyrinth elimination round: the hounds of hell, Quatro Cerberus, the all female guild Mermaid Heel, the hosts of Blue Pegasus and Lamia Scale. With mixed reactions about seeing the new guilds they will have to face, as well as some old friends, Lyon and Gray remember back in when they fought in Galuna Island, whilst Blue Pegasus get up to their usual antics of trying to claim all of the women present.

With over half of the teams now introduced, Chapati moves on to call out the first three, literally shocking all in Fairy Tail by introducing Ivan Dreyar's guild Raven Tail. Makarov in anger calls out about letting a dark guild participate, unnerving the audience slightly. Chapati however, states that the guild has been confirmed by the council as a light guild, and is therefore allowed to participate, angering Makarov who questions Ivan's motives. Approaching FT, the members of Raven Tail reveal that they were the ones that put the hurt on Wendy and Carla, and deeply angering both Natsu & Gohan.

With the crowd begin to wonder who could the two remaining teams be. Chapati introduces the team that came in second, both the crowd and participants from different guilds are shocked when it's revealed that it's Fairy Tail team B. Despite being in the same guild, Natsu quickly vows that he'll treat all people against his team as opponents, Gohan and Piccolo didn't mind if they faced off with those who they've never fought before. Gajeel and Laxus are the only two that fought Piccolo, Lisanna on the other hand, he actually trained her to control her power after he learned and sensed that she had hidden potential in her and he had to get it out of her. Whilst Chapati calms the crowd by explaining that every guild had the opportunity to put forward two teams, this new rule explaining why so many teams were competing in the first place. Jenny at first questioned the fairness of Fairy Tail having two teams, but she approved this. Yajima states that is the advantage they have received for performing so well.

Finally reaching the final team, the crowd isn't surprised by this to see the current champions of Sabertooth enter the field. Fairy Tail however isn't so pleased, both Natsu and Gajeel glaring down Sting and Rogue as Happy tries to out cheer Frosch and Lector. Gohan and Piccolo glare at the dangerous trio, Bergamo, Lavender and Basil also look back at them like they can't wait to go face to face with them.

All the teams now gathered, Chapati explains the format of the games for X971. The first four days of the games will consist of a competition section and a battle section. For the competitions, each team can choose one member to compete, and the members will earn points from 0 to 10 depending on how they rank. Afterwards, a battle will take place, only for this section the organizers of the games will choose the participants that will fight, not the teams themselves. For a win, the team gets ten points, while losing will earn them nothing. A draw in the battles will result in five points each. With this in mind, Chapati announces the beginning of the first event: A versus battle, Kagura from Mermaid Heel and Yukino from Sabertooth. Once Gohan heard Kagura's name he looks over at her and remembers that Millianna and Erza were talking about Kagura during the aftermath of the tower of heaven, and he remembered what Simon told him about entrusting him of taking care of his sister before he died. Once the Saiyan hybrid took a good look at her, in his mind she's like a goddess like Erza by the looks of her. This is indeed his first time seeing her and he had no idea that Simon's sister would be this beautiful looking.
