Town center, Magnolia Town. On one side laid the prestigious Fairy Tail guild hall, on the other the towns most prestigious rich people's houses, and the Magnolia Central Bank. In the middle of town square was a curious site. A small man of small proportions, with auburn hair and hazel eyes looked upon the guildhall gate. He smiled as he sat on his 50 foot wide stage, that stood 4 feet high, in the middle of town, that had seemingly popped up overnight. It was made of fine hand carved mahogany, and circular in design, cut out to allow the town fountain to continue pouring water into itself. On top of this were several black boxes, with several Lacrima within them glowing with power, ready to go when he was. He pulled his coats purple colored sleeve back to reveal his bare wrist, "A Quarter after Nine, time to go" he said dropping his arm and smiling as he kicked himself up into a standing position on the stage. This early in the morning he was BOUND to get someones attention. Today was his day to shine, a day for them all to shine.
He picked up a small metal box and pressed a button, letting the recording he had prepared days in advance take over from here. "WITCHES AND GENTLEWIZARDS, MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE." okay that was a little loud, but hey it got their attention. "I AM HERE TO PROVIDE TO YOU, FREE ENTERTAINMENT. YES, YOU HEARD ME RIGHT, FREE!" Everyone loved free stuff right? So thus it had to be free. "MY GOAL IS TO CALL OUT YOUR CITIES MAGIC GUILD, TO A FIGHT I HOPE THEY CANNOT WIN!" you hear that Fairy Tail, i'm DARING you to participate in this The man thought as he smiled at the guildhall there's no way they could refuse this. "FAIRY TAIL, I CHALLENGE YOUR GUILD, TO A RAP BATTLE. Yes they heard me right, a rap battle, that should get a lot of attention. He smiled as he rubbed his hands together to warm them up, for a coastal and sunny city, his hands still got cold when he was excited. He originally planned to make a challange that had Fairy Tails honor as a guild rely on it, but he was pretty sure if he challenged their guild Ace to a fight he would get his ass handed too him. He also didn't like fighting.
No instead Mooch decided this was the best course of action for his own personal war against Fairy Tail, a rap battle like no other. He knew he would lose in the end, but all that mattered was just how distracting he was, and the rest of the pieces would just fall together like he wanted them too.
Atrum had been walking for a while now, from one part of Fiore to the other. He wasn't happy, not happy at all, for one he hadn't got any proper rest since...well four years and five days he supposed. He was understandably cranky, though his face held a soft smile that might give someone the impression he was out for an early morning stroll. His eyes were almost closed, open just enough so that he could see where he was going without betraying his emotions, and then something made him open them. As he got close to his guild, his home, he heard a loud obnoxious noise. he had no idea what it was but it was nine thirty in the morning people would just be getting up, maybe it was just something that happened occasionally?
Atrum was quickly proven wrong as he got closer, there was a man with some kind of device for increasing the noise he made. At nine thirty, on his lawn. Clearly this man was sick of living. The Giant strode forwards , walking towards the man from behind making nary a sound as he did so. Atrum observed the man, small, frail looking, a bit on the twitchy side if he were to venture a guess. Didn't look like he was here for a fight, but you never judged a book by it's cover. The martial arts were created to help tiny people like this guy stand up to people larger and stronger than themselves.
"Did I hear you right? A challenge to Fairy Tail? Well call me interested Mister, what sort of challenge did you have in mind?" Atrum's tone of voice was pleasant and caring and he held a carefree smile on his face his eyes were closed as if he was perfectly at home with the situation. Inside Atrum wanted to throw the man aside and go to sleep but he doubted he could with this man making a bunch of noise right outside.
Mooch was sitting there grinning to himself as his challenge announced itself to the world. However there was this weird ominous taste in the back of his throat, that he just couldn't quite put his finger on. It was bothering him like there was something important he was forgetting, what day was it? was it garbage day? Shit he couldn't remember if it was garbage day or not. "Shit I cant remember if its garbage day or not" he muttered clarifying his thoughts to the world around him quietly. He heard a voice behind him which shouldn't have been possible. THE RULES ARE QUITE SIMPLE "what sort of challenge did you have in mind?" said the voice behind Mooch in the space of the speakers loud instance. Mooch turned on his heel to witness personally his surprise visitor, only to be met with visage of a 8 foot tall man made of at least 90 percent muscle, if not a higher percentage, with deep red eyes, teeth made of daggers like a sharks, and it was beyond obvious he had no fashion sense. He expressed his surprise in the most elegant way possible. AHHONEHONHHONEHHWITHHHMEHONHTHISHSTAGEHH He took a breath after screaming his lungs out. He was curious as to how this walking beefhouse of possible violence managed to sneak up on him, a man he felt was the most paranoid person in the world. Then his brain finished rebooting and took over instead of his natural baser instincts, and instead of fleeing in terror. He realized what he was looking at.
Atrum Furea, The Fire Storm, Fairy Tails residential fire mage, and probably the strongest in their guild not counting Rainor Taiga himself. The man who personally led the assault against shadow heart, and the shadow lord. A man who was, until thursday was supposed to be dead.
"Oh shit, if you're here, then that means today's thursday." The small man stated matter of factly to the giant, as his mind figured out what that meant to him right now.
"Huh." Atrum raised an eyebrow as he stared at the small man screaming at him even while a loud voice boomed out his device, he reached up to where his hat was supposed to be and mimed moving it. This entire set up was weird this man was weird, what the hell did him arriving have to do with the date? He was sure that this guy didn't know about him coming back the day before, hells walking across the country was annoying. but good exercise. He tapped his foot as he observed the young man a pleasant but fang filled smile on his face. This guy was strange, really strange, but that didn't matter it wasn't like he never dealt with weirdo's before.
"A one on one challenge huh? Standard dueling rules? The challenged gets to chose the weapons? I have not been home for a while so if it gets you off my lawn then let us get this over with." He said dropping the pack he had acquired, cracking his knuckles, neck and Jaws. The Giant breathed out and looked at his would be opponent. "So? Are you ready or not? I would like to go and greet the others before too long or are there different rules you wish to employ? Honestly I do not care as long as we can get this started." He said flexing his muscles, it felt like he hadn't moved his muscles like this in four years. he wanted to fight. He wanted his blood to boil with the thrill of combat, any combat, it didn't matter what kind at this point as long as he engaged in warfare.
"So how about we get this show on the road I have not gotten a challenge in a long time and I am a bit eager to get it started now." He chuckled his adrenaline already starting to flow through his veins in response to his eagerness to fight. he wasnted to have fun, he wanted to fight, he wanted to win. Hells get it started already! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Start the match! Attack Him! Any kind of attack would do! Hit him! Fight him! Come on, come on, come on! "Let us make this showy."
