To the FAIRY CHAMPION tournament! After yesterday's intense series of matches, only four of our mages remain in the bracket, and in the running to become the FAIRY CHAMPION!"</strong>cheers from the crowd drowned out the Guildmaster for a few seconds, as if on queue, as he paused and waited for the crowd to die down.<strong>"And if our first match of the day isn't enough to get you on your feet, and your blood pumping, I don't know what is! Rivals, friends, sisters in arms that constantly pushed each other to the next level. And now, after all these years, they are both HERE! Both of them ready to lay their hearts in the arena in the hopes of going on to become the next FAIRY CHAMPION! Mages of Fairy Tail! It is my greatest pleasure to introduce you to the first two of your CHAMPION RUNNERS!"</strong><br/><br/>More cheers erupted, as Ralena seemed to mysteriously disappear from the crowd. Guildmaster Romeo paid no mind though, as he continued right on with his introduction.<strong>"These two runners are the opposite of one another in so many ways, yet so similar at the same time! First off comes the brawn of the duo. If she's able to get into close quarters, there's nothing that can beat her! The fist of the faries, RALEEEEENNNNAAAAAAAAA, THAAAAARRRRIIINNNN!!!!!"</strong>A spotlight appeared on the otherwise black stadium, and into it stepped... Ralena? (http://i.imgur.com/E3rImAS.jpg)<br/><br/>Ralena smiled sweetly, placing her hand on her chest as she bowed forward just a little bit. "Good morning~! I hope you all enjoy today's matches!" Judging from the tone of her voice, the clothing she wore, even the<em>look in her eye</em>, it looked as though somebody had dug into the brain of the rough and tumble, aggressive, loudmouthed mage, and instead replaced her with this sweet, demure,<em><strong>seemingly</strong></em>harmless lady. The audience roared in delight, and even though the Guildmaster knew about the silly little bet between Ralena and Alice the previous morning, he was STILL caught off guard, and had to take a few moments before he could continue.<br/><br/><strong>"A-anyway... And our second FAIRY RUNNER! The genius of firearms and the insatiable, blooming flower of Fairy Tail! Up close, far away, nowhere is safe from her all range gunplay! Mages of Fairy Tail, you know who it is by now. It can only be Cupid's Revolver, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALICE DESCHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!"</strong>Another spotlight appeared on stage, seemingly just for Alice, assuming she had the good sense to disappear and get changed at the same time Ralena did, of course.
