It is morning here at this time so Ohayo Minna! And Konbanwa! to everyone in the west side. This is just a fic that came to mind when I was binge watching Fairytail this weekend and thought 'Why not give it a shot?!'
So I seriously hope you like this intro chapter. If I get enough reviews telling me to continue this, then I might consider changing it from a supposedly One-Shot fic.
And this is completely Naza. Curse you Mashima-san for trolling us with Naza and then changing it back to Jelza. I was thoroughly disappointed *anime tears*. Although later on if I post more chapters there might be one more girl. I don't do Harem stories as they're not my cup of tea.
So on with this crazy fic that I've written! And oh! Oh! Sorry to advertise but my Naruto fic has been updated! Check the new chapter out and leave lots of reviews!
Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail. If I did, I would've kept the Naza pairing all the way.
Awakening
The war between Fairy Tail and Phantom Lord started to grow worse and worse by the minutes that passed by. The whole of Magnolia was in tatters. The city was in ruins. Buildings were destroyed. Monuments were disfigured.
It also didn't help that their master Makarov Dreyar was defeated in an instant, by having every inch of his magic energy sucked right out of him.
The guild house of Fairy Tail looked worse for wear too. With planks of wood being used to actually hold the frail looking structure of the house.
The streets of Magnolia that once were filled with life and hustle-bustle of the people now deserted and left to silence.
All of this because the master of the Phantom Lord guild became greedy enough to be bought for the sake of capturing a single girl.
Lucy Heartfilia.
It was no wonder that Lucy looked like royalty but even though after living so many years in complete depravity of money and roaming around with her guild friends, it never occurred to anyone that she was of a noble lineage.
She lived like just another girl from anywhere.
Inside the now damaged guild hall, every injured mages were being treated and laid to rest. The guild didn't have their usual banter of reckless infighting, although groans and moans didn't actually quite leave the guild hall silent.
"Oh, damn it…"
"I can't believe we had to retreat!"
"This suck so bad!"
"And we didn't even get revenge for Master and Levy. Damn it!"
These were some of the expressions by the guild members from all around.
In a corner of the guild hall stood Macao surrounded by some of the healed mages. "…this is their headquarters. If we attack them with ranged magic from the high ground to the southwest…"
It was safe to say that a counter attack was being planned even though they were losing. Macao barked orders everywhere so that their plan could move forward.
While some distance away sat Lucy with Natsu, Gray and Elfman in her vicinity. Gray turned to Lucy and asked, "What's the matter? Still uneasy?"
Lucy sighed and Natsu looked at her.
"It's not that…" she began. "…it's just. I'm sorry."
"Well it's the fate of rich heiress' to get chased. And the ones who protect them are Men." Elfman said with a grin.
"Don't say things like that!" Gray rebuked at him.
"But I'm really surprised. Why did you keep it a secret, Lucy?" asked Happy, the blue exceed.
"I wasn't trying to hide anything." Said Lucy. "I ran away from home and I didn't really want to talk about it. For a full year, he never showed any kind of interest in his runaway daughter and now, he wants me back? My father went to such terrible lengths to take me back. He's the worst!"
She started to break down. "But when you get down to it, it's originally my fault for running away right?"
"That's not true.." Elfman said. "Your father's the bad guy here!"
"You idiot!" Gray talked back and Elfman receded with anime style shame.
"I mean Phantom!" Elfman corrected.
Lucy continued, "Thanks to my selfish actions, I've caused all this trouble for everyone. I'm really sorry. I guess if I went home, it would end this right?"
"I wonder about that." Natsu spoke. Lucy turned to see him as he continued. "But 'Rich Heiress' just doesn't strike the right tone. Laughing in this dirty old beer hall, and making a ruckus while on some adventure… that's the Lucy I know. You said you wanted to stay right?"
Lucy stooped her head low.
"What's the point of returning someplace you don't want to go?" Natsu continued which shocked Lucy as she looked at him.
"You're Lucy of Fairy Tail! This is your home to return to." Natsu finished with his signature grin.
Lucy looked at him with tears in her eyes. She knew he was right. He was right. What was the point of going back someplace where she won't be happy. Where she didn't want to stay. This place has become her home. This is where she wanted to spend her life. This was Fairy Tail.
"Don't cry, sheesh.. you're stronger than that!"Gray said while Elfman trembled with happiness.
"Oh right! Men are weak to tears." Elfman said.
As Lucy kept crying, Loke looked at her from a distance, keeping a subtle eye at her for any kind of danger.
Elsewhere in the guild Cana Albern was busy with her cards. As frustration gripped her, she threw away her cards and said, "That's it! I give up! I can't find Mystogan anywhere!"
A few steps away stood Mirajane Strauss who looked at her with worry and said, "I see…"
"If their aim is Lucy, then they'll be attacking again. We've got a lot of people injured. This doesn't look good." Cana said.
"I see. And master is gravely wounded too. Mystogan is nowhere to be found. In this case we can only rely on you! Laxus." Mira said looking at a communication lacrima in front of her.
Laxus just raised an eyebrow in the lacrima while Mira continued, "Please come back! Fairy Tail's in crisis."
"Serves the old codger right!" Laxus said arrogantly and laughed. "It doesn't have anything to do with me so handle it yourselves."
"Laxus… you…" Cana began but was cut off by Laxus.
"After all.. it was the old man who started this war. Why should I be the one to bail him out?"
"They're targeting Lucy… one of us." Mira said.
"Huh? Who's that? Oh you mean the newbie. *tch* Tell her I'll be happy to save her if she became my woman."
"I can't believe you!" Cana said.
"Heyy now! Is that the way to talk to someone whom you're asking for help? And tell the old man to retire quickly so that I can take over his position." And Laxus laughed before the lacrima was destroyed by Mira. She had tears in her eyes.
"Mira…"
"I can't believe him. Is he really a member of Fairy Tail? In that case I'll fight!"
"W-What are you saying?"
"Lucy was captured even though I was there!"
"No, you'll get in everyone's way. The way you are right now. Even if once you were an S–class mage."
Somewhere in the guild bathrooms was a certain redhead mage who was grieving for the losses suffered as she showered.
'The Master is absent. No Laxus. No Mystogan. There are many injured. Will it be possible to continue this fight?' she thought. She started to reminisce about the events where Macao got injured, the Fairy Tail wizards fought and her stopping Gray.
Even the part where she saw their Master being defeated. She punched the wall as she thought.
'If I had gone with him. The shame. This is my entire fault.'
Just then she felt tremors.
The whole of the guild shook with the consecutive tremors that rocked the guild hall. Everyone's gazes returned to their door.
"What-What is that?!" everyone wondered.
Alzack entered and screamed, "Outside!"
The other members of the guild that were outside needed scratched their heads in wonderment at the fact that something huge came walking nearer to their shores. It was huge. And the silhouette grew larger and larger. The other members including Natsu and Lucy ran outside and saw the scene.
"What the hell?!" Natsu wondered.
A massive crab-like structure with a monument on top slowly walked up near to their shoreline.
"Their guild is walking!" Happy said.
"Phantom!" Loke wondered.
The guild kept coming near and near and everyone head their eyes wide open.
"I didn't predict this? This is how they are going to attack!" Erza inquired.
Inside the walking guild sat Jose Parlo, the guildmaster. He sneered, "The magic focusing Cannon, Jupiter.. ready."
Many elemental magic started to converge upon a black ball in the middle. The amount of magic energy around the point was massive. Outside, one of the walls of the guild opened and slowly a long cannon unrolled from within and aimed directly at the guild of Fairy Tail. It started to gather dark violet magical energy.
"This is bad. Everybody take cover!" Erza screamed. Everyone started to run back to the guild. Massive panic erupted. Seeing this Erza ran towards the shoreline and quickly reequipped into the Kongō no Yoroi (Adamantine Armor) which was navy blue colored. It was composed of different plates joined one over another with the breastplate and front being covered. It gave two enormous shields in both her hands and they looked joined to it. It had two huge shoulder pads and a helmet with spikes jutting out finished it off leaving her back head bare.
"I won't let you touch the guild!" she screamed.
"That is the Kongō no Yoroi."Happy screamed.
"She isn't thinking of actually blocking it is she?" Bisca asked.
"I don't care how much the defensive power that armor gives you! That is insane!" Alzack shouted.
"Don't do it Erza!" another member shouted.
"You'll die!"
"Get down everyone!" Erza screamed as she got ready to face the cannon.
"No! Erza!" Natsu shouted to her. Gray held him back saying, "Natsu! All we can do is believe in her now!"
"Get off me!' Natsu tried to escape but Gray still held him more tightly.
"Don't you understand? She's doing this for our protection!"Gray told him.
"And who is protecting her!" Natsu talked back angrily.
Then Natsu elbowed Gray in the stomach and a roundhouse kick later, he was seen running after Erza making everyone look at him.
"No! Natsu where're you going!"
"Natsu come back!"
"Natsu don't go there!"
At that moment, Jupiter fired. Tearing through the air and creating thunderous waves it approached Fairy Tail.
Erza steadied herself and put her two enormous shields in front of her creating a giant magic circle. But as she readied herself for the oncoming attack to hit, she saw Natsu jump over her with his body covered in flames. Her eyes widened.
'No…'
"Karyū no Kenkaku (Fire Dragon's Sword Horn)!"
"Noooo!" Erza screamed but her scream was for naught as Natsu faced the cannon head on. A huge explosion emerged and dust flew everywhere. The wind picked up all around and every member of Fairy Tail watched this scene unfold with wide eyes. Shock was an understatement right now.
Natsu pushed all his magic energy into the attack and screamed in frustration.
"Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!"
To everyone's amazement he was actually in a standstill with the cannon.
The fiery orange blaze and the dark violet blast of the cannon mingled in a grand light of magical superiority before the guild members of Fairy Tail.
"He's actually pushing it." One of the mages spoke in amazement.
"He's actually stopping the Jupiter."
"Natsuuuuu!" Erza screamed.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Natsu screamed. Little did he know that he had scales growing in his body like that of a Dragon's. "THIS IS FOR DESTROYING OUR GUILD!"
His body expelled even more magic energy and his fiery blaze now glowed like the morning sun. He kept pushing the blast back by blasting himself forward using his fiery thrusts. His elbows glowed ember red and his eyes glowed crimson. He growled.
"Karyū no Enchū (Fire Dragon's Flame Elbow)!"
A thrust from his elbows propelled his hands to back the blast even more now. His nerves coming out. It was evident of the strength he was putting into it.
Everyone in the guild looked on with worry. None more so then Erza. She kept looking at him with shock and worry from underneath.
A few minutes later, the struggle ended with the blast losing its energy and as a backlash, Natsu was blown away from his position in the air. He flew through the air and into the guild hall.
"Natsu!" Erza screamed as she saw him sailing through the air. She ran towards the guild in full force. Each and every Fairy Tail member saw this and they also headed towards the guild to see what happened to their friend.
'Don't you dare die Natsu!' thought Erza as she tore through the crowd and into the guild.
With Natsu, as he sailed through the air and slammed through one of the walls of the upper terrace of their guild, before he lost consciousness he saw a light. A hand reaching out to him which he took hold of with extreme pain.
He never realized that a seal cracked in his minsdscape and a lone eye emerged from within the depths.
Elsewhere deep in the vaults of Tartaros, the many demons of Zeref felt a certain feeling inside their bodies. They all had only one thing going through their minds.
'He is alive.'
