Jack was doing his business while Mirajane needed a bodyguard for one of her job as a model. It was a good way to find out how strong Jack was so she asked him.
Jack went with her to a spa were other female models were waiting and the photographer was. "So you make this for a living?" asks Jack curious
"I make it because it's fun and you meet new people also the pay isn't bad," says Mirajane as the photographer sees Jack and calls Mirajane to him. After some seconds Mirajane returns and says, "The photographer wants to have you as a male model it seems."
"How much is the pay?" asks Jack as he really wanted to graduate from the Guild Hall.
"Not as high as my pay but you might be able to rent a little place in the town with it for three months," says Mirajane picking Jack's interest.
"What do I have to do as long as I don't have to put tight underwear on everything is fine," says Jack and Mirajane smiles and walks over to the photographer.
He takes a black boxer short out of nowhere and gives it to Mirajane who hand it to Jack as he says, "Really just that."
"And try to keep your thing in the pants and everything should be ok," says Mirajane as she leaves to change into a bikini while Jack changes into the boxer and a chair was put near the pool.
Jack sits on it with two women near his feet and two holding his arms while Mirajane was hugging him from behind. He was keeping his cool giving a look that said: "I'm the Emperor here." The photographer was happy as he shows the picture making Jack look like a cold king that wasn't satisfied with only the women seducing him.
The shooting went on until some people arrived to make problems until Jack took care of them without trouble. Making the shooting keep going without as if nothing happened.
"That was really easy money," says Jack after the shooting as he was returning with Mirajane to the Guild Hall.
"So you know what you will do on Fantasia Parade?" asks Mirajane curious.
"Nothing, I like the tranquility I have and joining into that will most likely take it away. I would rather do some of those shootings then join this competition that the Guild does. Rather I join the Parade showing some magic to the people of the town," says Jack as they enter the guild.
They separated once they entered Mirajane had to report how Jack didn't even need to use magic to take some bouncers out.
"So he used only physical strength you say," says Makarov curious since Jack never used magic before. Not even in the hall, when a brawl started. He evades everyone so he could read with tranquility in his book.
"Well, did the shooting go well?" asks Makarov.
"Better than expected. The photographer wanted Jack too. So he also worked a little as a model and kicking some bouncers," says Mirajane with a smile.
"Good to know. I really want to see the picture already," says Makarov excited to see the picture of the girls in the magazine.
The days pass and it was finally the Fantasia Parade everyone was ready and they were holding a feast and a competition while Jack was only reading his book.
Jack wasn't really interested in the people of the guild expect for Levy and Makarov. Levy because she was interested in the tome he was always reading and Makarov because he reminded him of his father. The other he saw as colleagues not really like friends.
He applauded after Levy's turn on stage rooting for her in the event when it was Lucy's turn but get interrupted by another woman he never met before. She had green clothes on and a fan in her hand matching her outfit saying that she is the only one worthy to win as the most beautiful fairy competing.
Many were nervous but Jack began to laugh out loud after hearing the comment and Evergreen says giving Jack an angry stare, "Who are you to laugh?"
"Sorry, I was just thinking about something funny," says Jack trying to hold back his laugh but couldn't.
"So you find it funny let's see how long you can laugh," says Evergreen when she turns to Lucy and moves her glasses a little up as Lucy looks directly into her eyes and turned to stone directly in front of them.
The audience begins to run away the moment that happened and Jack was a little pissed since the festival was quite good.
"What do you think you are doing Evergreen?" asks Makarov angry about what was happening.
"She is doing just as told," says a manly voice as thunder could be heard and Lightning hit the stage and a blond man appeared on it.
"I should have known you were behind this, Laxus," says Makarov a little disappointed. Then Laxus reveals what was behind the stage with the other contesters being turned to stone too. Making an uproar in the guildhall.
Two other people appeared and Jack was now really pissed when he saw Levy turned to stone. She was someone he saw as a little sister since she was like his brother. He heard someone say something about the Thunder Gods Tribe when Laxus says, "Come on let's have some fun."
Makarov was trying his best to talk some sense into Laxus. But Laxus was threatening in destroying the stone statues if they don't join the game he prepared.
"There is only one rule in this game the last man standing wins. A Fairy Tail Battle Royale," says Laxus with a smile on his face.
Everyone in the room had different faces some had a smile some were pissed and others just didn't care. Jack was laughing again louder than before and says, "You sure about that?"
"Is he crazy or something gramps?" asks Laxus as he has never seen Jack before.
Makarov didn't know how to answer this question since he never has seen Jack fight before. But Natsu says in excitement, "Nice and simple just how like I like it."
"Good the battleground will be the whole town and you only have three hours to defeat us four or the statues will turn to dust," says Laxus as Makarov turns into a giant and tries to attack the four but everyone except for Jack was blinded by Laxus lightning as he disappears from the guildhall with the other three says, "Let the game begin."
After Laxus left everyone else stormed out of at least tried since Natsu couldn't pass the invisible barrier that was put there beforehand as well as Makarov. Jack was still calm and didn't rush outside but took his tome out to look for a spell in it.
"Jack why are you still here?" asks Makarov confused since Jack was someone that was laughing before.
"Because of this," says Jack as he uses a spell turned the girls back to normal and Jack says, "They are as good as new."
"How did you?" asks Makarov surprised by Jack turning them back. Jack then summons his armor and takes his shotguns from the holsters.
"I will just ask a question. Is Laxus related to you?" asks Jack serious in his armor shocking Makarov and Natsu while the girls were surprised to see Jack change into an armor like Erza normally does.
"He is my grandson. What are you going to do now?" asks Makarov as Jack couldn't hold back his aura.
"I wanted to kill him first but since you are like my father I will just defeat him and drag him back here to you so you can decide his fate. I normally wouldn't even meddle in a child's tantrum like this," says Jack as he walks out of the hall to join the others.
'Now where would a person with such an ego hide,' thinks Jack as he takes into the sky and overwatches the whole city and see the Caldia Cathedral and says, "That where he must be hiding."
He flies towards the Cathedral while flying over the city he finds Fairy Tail members fighting each other trying to avoid them until arriving at the Cathedral. Jack enters the Cathedral and finds Laxus in it as he thought.
"It seems one of the rats could pass through all of the barriers that fast," says Laxus as he only sees a man in armor and asks, "Who are you?"
"The crazy one," says Jack as he grips his shotguns and says, "How about I give you a chance and let you attack me with your best shot."
"Are you mocking me?" asks Laxus angry.
"What I'm just going easy on you come on if Lightning is your forte you will never defeat me," says Jack.
"Oh, really," says Laxus angry as he prepares to attack.
"Yes," says Jack as he summons clouds over the Cathedral making it obvious where he was.
Laxus attacks him with his lightning and turns around when he hit Jack directly thinking the fight was over Jack, on the other hand, absorbed the lightning and activated his Thunder mode and says, "Is that all."
Laxus turns around when he hears Jack and sees Jack radiating Lightning and says, "That's impossible nobody can compete with my Lightning."
"Bad News then since I fought people that would see your attack as a mosquito sting instead of a lightning bolt. I shall show you how a lightning attack should look like," says Jack as he stretches his hands towards Laxus and shots his shotguns at Laxus making him fly through the room.
"Wow never thought I would be going overboard," says Jack as he sees Laxus on the ground and turns around showing his back at Laxus who attacks immediately.
But Laxus only hits the air and Jack appears behind him and says, "Cone on I only used a little power of mine in that attack. I couldn't knock you out."
"Stop mocking me," says Laxus as he attacks the air again.
"You are mocking yourself. Be happy I didn't come to kill you like I wanted to do. The old man will take care of you after all," says Jack as he points his shotgun against Laxus head while saying, "Time to sleep."
Then a lightning bolt hit Jack directly making it pass through Laxus directly who falls to the ground unconsciously. Jack picks him up and says, "One down three to go."
Jack returns with the unconscious Laxus to the guildhall and drops him off while saying, "He was pretty easy to defeat. I hope the other three are a better challenge."
"Is he okay?" asks Makarov worried seeing his grandson almost roasted.
"He should be fine. It was just one Lightning Bolt and it hit me directly making it indirectly hit him too. He will just need some medicine and he should be fine," says Jack as he was about to walks out again.
"Come fight me?" asks Natsu as he was bored by being trapped in the hall with Makarov and Gajeel.
"You not going to join?" asks Jack Gajeel, who was sitting in a corner.
"If only I could. That damn barrier doesn't let me leave," says Gajeel angry.
"Well, it can't be helped then. See you in a minute then," says Jack as he leaves the hall again.
But now he runs through the city as he takes anyone in his path out until getting the other three back with little problem and returns with them and says, "The game should be over with them caught right. I will have to bring the others I knocked out back too."
"Why knock the others out too?" asks Makarov confused.
"They were in my way and the barrier wouldn't let me pass if I didn't defeat them before," says Jack finding an excuse to knock them out so they don't see him use his real power.
