I am not a staff member, so I cannot enforce anything, but your attempted adopting of the battle for the sole purpose of "I disagree with this entirely, can I write my own version? I feel like this is giving a crappy win for mary-sue characters." is entirely against the mindset of this Wiki.

Not only would this be breaking Rule 16 (All fictional characters are to be respected, even if you do not like the character... This includes spite battles.), but your reasoning as before indicates wanting to write your own version for the sole reason of wanting the other character to lose would be a partial violation of Rule 6 (Don't even try to play favorites...). It is not a rule to like Erza, but your comment made it clear you did not like her victory in that battle and wanted to create the opposite because, once again "I feel like this is giving a crappy win for mary-sue characters.".

Let me be perfectly clear: it is NOT a problem that you want to write your own take on a battle where the outcome is the opposite of the original author's. That's perfectly okay. In fact, it's something that happens all the time here. What IS a problem is wanting to do that solely to change said outcome. Your mindset should be "I want to see what I could do with this match-up", not "That person's outcome was wrong and I'm going to prove it".

I recommend you change your attitude regarding this battle so that your resulting battle is not tainted by your original intent, but is instead a genuine interest in writing it because you want to. And you can start that by asking the original author permission on his wall. He's still active and he'll likely respond to you, so you may as well let him know.
