Chapter one: The Lacrima and the first three song
Happy woke up just like the usual. Natsu and Gray were called to do some special mission together since it required a fire and ice wizards to complete. At first they both disagreed with the mission since they hate each other guts and because today was the day all thier friends from the others guilds came to visit and catch up but after Exza and master 'convinced' them they left and weren't due back for at least three days so they both were not there at present here right now, so he stayed behind to use this time to try(and failing at) winning Carla heart before Lector could, even though Lector as stated on numerous occasions that he has no interest in pursuing her. Happy got up from his sleep, went to the kitchen to get some fish, and was ready to go.
"Well, time to head to the guild!" Happy shouted, well… happily, until a fly was flying around him, getting on his nerve.
"Go away stupid bug!" But the bug wouldn't go away.
So Happy did the only logical thing to do… grabbed something near him and started wailing around the house, trying in vain to kill the bug, all while hitting and breaking a bunch of other things that wasn't his target.
"Stay still!" Happy shouted angrily as he then he accidentally hit the only bookshelf in the house knocking it over and breaking it.
"…Oops." Was all Happy could say as he saw the piece of furniture on the ground. Then Happy felt it.
"OW! MY HEAD HURTS!"
Running into something headfirst is of course going to hurt. It merely took a few moments for the pain to register. After the pain wore down, the exceed then noticed something.
"Huh?" Happy questioned as he saw a safe that was behind the bookshelf before Happy knocked it over. "I don't remember this being here…" Happy lived here his entire life, so he would have remembered a safe right there, besides if this was there years ago then Matsu would have put money in it instead of under the kitchen oven so let his curiosity get the better of him and opened the safe, and what he saw confused him.
"And why would Natsu keep some old lacrima in here of all places?" If Happy wasn't very confused before, he is now.
Just like he said, there were was a old and worn old looking lacrima just sitting there with some kind of remote inside the safe. Did this belong to Natsu? If so, how come he didn't know about it? Come to think of it, what do the lacrima hold?
"Maybe the guild might know!" Happy guessed, now knowing what to do, the bug from earlier completely forgotten, as the exceed founded a bag from… somewhere, and after a couple minutes, got all the lacrima in the bag and left for the guildhall.
'WITH FAIRY TAIL'
The guild was being its normal self, well normal for them at least. The place was in chaos. Gajeel and Orga were discussing thier music styles which everyone but them thought was terrible with Rouge silently sitting with them. Rufus and Lyon were at their own table. The Mermaids, Exza, Yukino and Lucy were at the own table doing what whatever girls do. The trimens, Ichiya, Nichiya were with the team for Cerburus minus Bacchus who was in a drinking contest with Cana at the bar. Sting was with Laxus, Juvia, Elfman, Jura and Makarov at the bar as well as the Mira amd Lisanna manned the bar, the Exceeds were with Wendy and Cherlia at their table near the entrance giving each other tips and suggestions on their magic and fighting styles. The rest were in a inter guild wide brawl since they believed the GMGs were not not enough to say which guild was the strongest and with both Kagura and Ezxa busy they went unchallenged as long as they avoided thier table, just then Happy came in the guild, with the bag slugged over his shoulder, as he made his way to where the others were at. Everyone was confused by what Happy had with him.
"Uh, Happy, what's with the bag?" Mirajane asked the talking cat as he landed at the bar.
"Let me guess, is it fish?" Lucy asked the cat in a sarcastic tone.
"No, but that would be amazing!" Happy answered, suddenly thinking about fish. This answer of course got giggles from some people, and face palms from others.
"Then what's in the bag." Lyon asked, who is only in his who just walked up to them by the way.
"Oh Lyon when did you get here? I see we finally traded Grey for you, hope you don't have a stripping habit otherwise Exza will beat it out of you." A very drunk Cana pointed out, causing him to glare at her angrily.
"I've been here for the past two hours and thier no way I'm leaving Lamia Scale or have a stripping habit like Gray!" Lyon shouted.
"I was hoping you all would know." Happy told them, as he opened the bag to reveal the lacrima inside of it.
"What's with this Lacrima?" Erza asked the exceed, who simply shrugged.
"Well, I woke up, ate fish, then tried to kill an annoying bug, then I knocked over a piece of bookshelf where Natsu keeps us souvenirs by accident. But there was a safe there that I don't remember being there, and it had the lacrma and the remote which I guess is for the lacrima in it." Happy told them. "I figured you might know what they are."
The guild was just as confused as Happy was. They didn't know what these lacrima was or what what purpose it served. Mira grabbed it and looked at it, before seeing what kind of lacrima it was.
"Oh, it looks like a sound lacrima." The bartender told the others. "A music lacrima?" Levy asked, "Why would a bunch of music disks be at Natsu's and Happy's house?"
"That is odd." Erza spoke, and was thinking why these things were there in the first place.
Mira looked at the lacrima it for any labels or any other kind of markings order to see if there's a name on it that might help them know who made these. When she saw who's names was on it, she was surprised.
"What is it Mira?" Kinana asked her as she and the others saw her jump a bit in surprise.
"If I'm seeing this right," Mira then had a big grin on her face, "Then Natsu and Gray made these!"
Silence was all the guild was, until…
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Gajeel and most of the guild burst out laughing all of a sudden.
"What's so funny?" Yukino asked them, after they calmed down.
"Yukino, this is Dragneel we're talking here." Bacchus replied as if it was oblivious, "That morons probably couldn't make music if thier lifes depended on it."
"But we listen to Gajeel's and Orga music all the time, they can't be that bad." Happy spoke. This got said wizards angry.
"What's that supposed to mean?! My music is great!" Both Orga and Gajeel told the exceed.
"Nah, Happy's right, you're an awful singers." Sting replied.
"What did you say light bulb!"
"You heard me metal head!"
"ENOUGH!" Erza shouted as she slammed her hands into their heads, sending them to the floor, "Regardless if it's good or not, Mira go ahead and play one." The red haired woman told the bartender.
"What? Why?" Elfman asked her. But his sister answered for Erza.
"I want to see what they sound like when they aren't fighting ." Mira told them with a glint in her eyes. You know, the kind of glint that makes you wish you were running away right now. Everyone in the guild was worried now, when Mira's like that, no one is safe.
After it was settled that they were going to listen to these, Mira placed the lacrima on the bar top and grabbed the remote and turn it on and scroll though the surprisingly large collection of song titles.
"Which song do we listen too first?" Mira asked the guild.
"I don't know, they all going to sound awful anyway." Rocker told her
"And how do you know that? For all we know, they might be a good pair and actually be decent singers." Juvia said in their defense but a bit more in Grays since she could care less about Natsu talent.
"At least it should hopefully be at least better than Gajeel at least." Laxus decided to throw his two cents in from the second floor, with his Thunder God tribe with him.
"YOU ALL DON'T KNOW GOOD MUSIC!" Gajeel yelled at them.
Everyone ignored the iron dragon slayer's outburst. Mira picked up one on the lists and looked at it. It was titled as "Age of Ingorance".
"What about this one?" The takeover wizard suggested. Erza took a look at it, before agreeing with the silver haired barmaid.
"It's settled. We'll start with this one." Erza told the guild with a tone that left no room for argument. Though there were stars in her eyes, possibly wanting to hear what the two sounded like.
So Mirajane selected the song and put it at full volume before hitting the play button. Most of the guild had giant grin on their faces, as they waited for whatever awful noise it was going to be heard.
However, instead of something that sounded like the two wizards arguing with each other over a microphone, it sounded like a guitar?
(Natsu)
They murdered their own to start an endless war
Sat back and relaxed as the buildings burned
This is the age of ignorance
It is a sickness that brings us to the end.
"Huh?" Everyone was confused at the fact that they were cooperating without being forced into it.
(Gray)
They poisoned our food to keep their margins high
And as they count their money, the starving die
This is the age of ignorance
It is a sickness that brings us to the end.
"That's Natsu and Gray?" Lucy questioned in shock by the voice. It was well thought and sung in her eyes. The others were just as shocked and amazed as well.
(Natsu)
It's time to stand up, get ready to fight
For all the wrongs that should be right
Or watch the world as it slowly falls apart
As it slowly falls apart.
"H-How?" Lyon was shocked that his rival was singing this. Did he actually make this? "SHH!" Everyone hushed Lyon as they wanted to listen.
(Gray)
They could cure this cancer in the simplest ways
But the longer we're sick, the more the doctor gets paid
The longer we wait to get out of these days
The shorter we'll live and the faster we'll decay
This is the age of ignorance
It is a sickness that brings us to the end.
(Natsu)
It's time to stand up, get ready to fight
For all the wrongs that should be right
Or watch the world as it slowly falls apart.
(As it slowly falls apart)
If the people lead, the leaders will follow
The teachers will be the ones that never played this game.
(Gray)
This is the age of ignorance
It is a sickness that brings us to the end.
Everyone was so surprise by this much talent the duo possessed, how come they didn't know about this?
(Natsu)
It's time to stand up, get ready to fight
For all the wrongs that should be right
Or watch the world as it slowly falls apart
We'll stand up for what we believe in
And won't back down 'til they see the reason
To change the world before it slowly falls apart.
Silence filled the guild as the song finished playing.
"That was so beautiful!" Mira spoke with some tears from the song. Yes, she shed some tears, that shows how much she loved that song. It was beautiful in her opinion.
"That was amazing, although I wonder how they fit a violin into that." Erza stated. She was unaware of how talented Duo was. But how come they didn't tell them this?
"Since when could they able to sing? As a matter of fact, since when could they play Violin of all things?" Makarov questioned. He and the rest thought they knew pretty much everything about the fire dragon slayer and Ice make wizard, but apparently not.
"Juvia knew her beloved was a great singer." Juvia stated.
"Let's play another one!" Mira explained happily.
Everyone was simply watching Mira digging into scroll though the list trying to pick the next song. While she was looking for one, the rest of the guild were discussing about the last song they heard.
"I can't believe salamander knows how to sing, let alone make a song." Gajeel told the others.
"It's surprising to say the least," Erza spoke. "With that kind of talent, they could start their own music career if they wanted too." She then pictured in her head what that would look like. She saw a lot of fans, more specifically, fan girls. That didn't settle well for Erza.
"How come they didn't tell us this?" Lucy questioned, "Did they think it would be too embarrassing for them or something?" That's the only thing the blonde celestial mage could think of.
The others think that would made sense. They imagine telling Natsu and Gray about them founding his little secret out. They all snickered as they imagined them fainting due to embarrassment.
"So much talent in these songs."Risley answered.
"I never expected that the one of the most destructive and reckless mages of all of Fiore could make music like this." Arana told the others, who nodded in agreement.
"I agree, but you can tell that he put in a lot of effort in them." Kagura replied to the rest of her guild.
"How does it feel to know that the guy you two like can make music?" Beth asked Kagura and Millianna as she was still looking for a disk that interested her.
This of course got the two said mages to blush at their friend's words.
"It's not like that!" They both shouted.
"Denial." Everyone present in the guild replied to them, much to their embarrassment.
I FOUND ONE!" Mira shouted after she stop on her choice. Though her sudden shout scared the crud out of everyone.
"Oh, sorry." Mira told them, though her smile told them she found it funny.
"Which one did you pick?" Elfman asked the former demon of fairy Tail, after calming down from her sudden shout of course. Actually, no, Mira's still the demon of Fairy Tail.
Mira showed them her choice. "This one is called "She is the Sunshine". It sounds like it could be a romantic kind of song." After saying this, Mira had stars in her eyes.
"I don't see how that could be a romantic song." Levy replied. "Yes it sounds like it could be one, but Natsu too dense to know what romance is and Gray is too scared of it."
"Juvia agree, if it's a love song then it must be for Juvia and if not, Juvia will hurt down this person." Juvia stated with a creepy look on her face that made everyone present very nervous.
"Just play it Mira." Erza told the Takeover wizard, ignoring the insult the others said about the two boys.
Mira nodded as she put in the disk, and hit the play button.
Immediately, an acoustic guitar was heard, catching them by surprised. It sounded soft, unlike the last songs they have listened too that have been nothing but rock.
(Gray)
If all the flowers faded away
And if all the storm clouds decided to stay
Then you would find me
Each hour the same
Cause she is tomorrow
And I am today.
Everyone was caught off guard by the softness in Gray's voice. He sounded so gentle, but you could still feel the emotion in his voice.
(Natsu)
Cause if right is leaving
I'd rather be wrong
Cause she is the sunlight
The sun is gone.
They didn't know what to expect, but it wasn't this. It sounded so sad. Did they really make this?
And if loving her is
Is heartache for me?
And if holding her means
That I have to bleed
Then I am the martyr
Love is to blame
Cause she is the healing
And I am the pain.
(Gray)
She lives in a daydream
(She lives in a daydream)
Where I don't belong
Cause she is the sunlight
And the sun is gone
"W-Why is this so sad?" Lucy questioned, a few tears in her eyes as she asked. There were a few tears in the eyes of others as well. You could just hear the pain in Natsu's voice.
And it will take this life of regret
For my heart to learn to forget
Tomorrow will be as it always has been
(Natsu)
And I will fall to her again
For I know I have come too close
Cause if right is leaving
I'd rather be wrong
Cause she is the sunlight
And the sun is gone
At this point everyone was trying and failing at hiding thier tears even Exza and Kagura were shedding a few while people like Millianna and Levy were openly crying at the beauty and sadness this song portrayed and others were simply wide eyed as they kept on listening.
She is the sunlight
And the sun is gone.
The song ended, and it left them speechless. There was so much emotion, yet at the same time Natsu and Gray managed to sing so softly. To them, it was amazing. But before anyone could speak the screen went blank and not a moment later showed up a single message that nobody expected to see.
To Lisanna Strauss
X767-X782
(Natsu)
A loving sister, mother as well as guild mate. The light and warmth of Fairy tail and the only girl to show a dragon what true love really is.
Keep smiling my love.
(Gray)
Rest in peace in the blessings of the heavens.
"T-they made this about m-me?" Lisanna questioned, more tears going down her cheeks now.
"That was so beautiful." Lucy managed to speak as there were tears in her eyes due to the beauty and passion of the song but most was for the pain Natsu and Gray went threw when they thought Lisanna was dead.
The guild felt a bit guilty as well. When they thought Lisanna died, Natsu seemed to be the one to help everyone else while Gray just distanced himself from everyone. Natsu showed that he would remain strong, because they thought Lisanna wanted him too. However, this song proved that it was the complete opposite. While he helped them, no one had helped them during that time.
"H-Hang on!" Bixslow spoke as he came down from the second floor, trying to hold back tears of his own. "T-There's got to be a happier song in here!" He spoke again as he went through the list to hopefully find a happier song to lighten the mood. As he was doing this the guild and it's visitors begun to recover somewhat from the previous song.
"Are you okay now Lisanna?" Ren asked the youngest of the Strauss siblings.
"Yeah, I'm fine now." Lisanna answered, but there was still a frown on her face. "But I'm still getting over the fact that Natsu wrote a song about… well… me." No one didn't notice, but there was a tiny blush on her face when she said that.
Then everyone wiped their tears away, and Mira and Lisanna stopped sobbing, but they were still getting over the fact that Natsu and Gray wrote a song about their pain of loosing Lisanna. Bixslow then found a song labeled, "Human".
"Here this one sounds uplifting" Bixslow said as he hit the play button.
The song started out a little slow but picked up as it went before the lyrics were heard.
(Natsu)
Hey, I never said I was an angel, no
I never said I wouldn't break down, yeah
Beside myself, living in a cold cell
Don't shut me out.
This sounded a lot happier when compared to the last song. In fact, it kind of had a effect on the atmosphere in the buildings.
(Gray)
Yeah, you look at me like I'm a stranger
Yeah, you make me feel like I betrayed yer
Don't leave me stranded,
As I reach out my hand.
(Natsu)
'Cause I wear my heart on my sleeve
If you cut me I'll bleed
I know I cannot erase
Every mistake that I've made.
(Gray)
Yeah, I never said I was an angel, no
I never said I wouldn't break down
But life keeps on moving
By now you should know
I'm only human (human)
Hey, hey, hey
I'm only human (human)
Hey, hey, hey
"This song is manly!" Elfman joined in. "SHUT IT ALREADY!" Everyone shouted at him as the song progressed.
(Natsu)
Hey, got any grace for a failure?
Because I'm feeling like I failed yer
Yeah, I lashed out, digging up my past
O, I know let you down, yeah
O, I'm still fighting for the future
Yeah, 'cause I never wanna lose you
I'll keep on climbing
If you're on my side
Cause I wear my heart on my sleeve
If you cut me I'll bleed
I know I cannot erase
Every mistake that I've made.
(Gray)
I never said I was an angel, no
I never said I wouldn't break down
But life keeps on moving
By now you should know
The pain from the last song faded away as they all were getting into this song. Bixslow smiled, glad that picked one that lighten the mood from earlier, although he is surprised by this development, he had to admit that he thought it sounded pretty cool.
I'm only human (human)
Hey, hey, hey
I'm only human (human)
Hey, hey, hey.
I know I'm breaking your heart
Every storm that tears us apart
I know I'm to blame for all the damage
I've done
(Natsu/Gray)
But you know that I'm ready to take the fall
(Gray)
I never said I was an angel, no
(Said I was an angel)
I never said I wouldn't break down
(Said I wouldn't break down)
(Natsu)
'Cause I wear my heart on my sleeve
If you cut me I'll bleed
I know I cannot erase
Every mistake that I've made
I never said I was an angel, no
I never said I wouldn't break down
But life keeps on moving
By now you should know
I'm only human (human)
Hey, hey, hey
I'm only human (human)
Hey, hey, hey
I'm only human (human)
Hey, hey, hey
I'm only human (human)
The song had ended, and everyone was in a better mood from before.
"I'm surprised the two of them could do music this well." Makarov spoke after the song ended.
"Hey Bixslow,does the song have a message like the other one they made?" Evergreen asked the her teammate.
"I don't know let me check." He answered as he look though the song details till he found it and he was little surprised to be honest.
"I don't get it." Bixslow said as he scratched his chin in thought.
"What is it?" Freed asked his man in a helmet.
"It says here:
For Jellal and all those like him who want to repent for thier actions. For it is true that decisions of the past make up the person you are. It's the choices for your future that determine who you will be."
"That's a bit deep for them if you ask me." Freed said after a moments thought.
"Well Natsu never been one to hold grudges and Gray can be very forgiving given the right situation." Lucy said.
"Really, how so?" Yuka question from his table at the corner with Toby and Hibiki.
"Well he forgave all of you after the Deliora Incident didnt he?" Happy said from the top of Millianna head.
"Kagura how are you dealing with that song since Jellal isn't your favorite person?" Millianna asked her friend who was awfully quiet after Bixslow said the message.
"I'm fine Millianna, its true that I don't like this and honestly I would try to arrest him if we ever met but I trust Natsu judgement on him deserving a second chance to make up for the sins he has committed." She responded getting all the girls of Mermaid heel and Exza shocked at her answer.
"What?" Kagura asked the dumbfounded ladies.
"We just never thought that you would give that sort of answer." Arána answered.
"Yeah you must REALLY like him if you are willing to trust his judgment to this degree." Beth said with a smug like on her ginger face.
"Would you drop that please?!" Kagura shouted at them, making them all laugh at her denial.
"I guess that I'll pick the next song then." Lucy said as he stood up.
"I suppose that I go after Lucy I'm curious on what other songs they might have in that collection." Exza said.
"And then I will go after her, there must be a song about fish in there." Happy said already daydreaming about it getting everyone to let out a sigh of annoyanceas Lucy begun to scroll though for a song that she would like to listen to.
