Chapter 5

Rise Again

Fairytail (3rd person P.O.V)

It was a time of sadness and pain. The usual rowdy and carefree guild is now silent and gloomy. They are yet to recover from the shock of losing their comrades. It has been eight days since they were informed of what took place during the S-class trials. At first they thought of it as a joke from their guildmates, that they were just toying with them. Soon, they realized it wasn't a joke. It was the truth. The pain they felt when they first heard the news is still the same now, for some it intensified.

Their guildmates, more than that, their family was taken away by them. They learned from the Rune Knights led by Lahar what took place. Lahar explained that they were spying on Fairytail, which did not make them happy and almost beat the crap out of them, then a dark guild arrived at the island, Grimoire Heart was the name of the guild. Fairytail managed to defeat them with the arrival of Laxus, but then came the damned monstrosity. They were long far away from the island at that time, yet they saw the blast and felt it. Acnologia passed them by, but ignored them and headed towards the island, the reason why they were spared, they didn't know.

Right now, everyone was mourning for their family. Gramps and the others were gone, Natsu didn't go with them but he was missing right now. Everyone just seemed to lose their hope.


Magnolia Train Station

"We're finally back, Happy"

"Aye"

Natsu and Happy disembarked the train and proceeded to Fairytail. As they were walking through town, they received looks of pity and sympathy towards them. Natsu heard what they were all talking about. They talked about from How they felt sorry for Fairytail to what will fairytail do. Natsu ignored them and just kept walking. Soon the guild was in his sights.

Inside the guild, the old wise crackers were silent and just drinking their beer, the two remaining members of Shadowgear were just quiet, everyone was just minding their own business.

The doors of the guild slowly opened which made everyone look who had just arrived. As they saw who it was, most of them were shocked, but Macao welcomed the guests.

"Natsu, Happy, welcome, it's sure nice to see you" Macao said with a forced smile

"Thanks Macao, it's sure good to be back" Natsu replied back with also a forced smile

"Natsu have you heard…."

"Yes, and I am disappointed in you" Natsu raised his voice saying the last bit, which made everyone look at him.

"Come on! This isn't the Fairytail that I know, silent and gloomy" he continued

"uh, Natsu this maybe not a good time" Max whispered to Natsu

"Everyone would be disappointed in you!" He shouted, a lot of people were glaring at him right now, but no one spoke out loud

"Gramps and the others wouldn't like it if they see us like this. Let's show them that we're still alive. That we can still pull through without them here, but inside here" Natsu pointed to where his heart was

"Let's honour their memory by making them proud of what we will accomplish because of them. Everytime we mention their names, we mention it with pride and honour. Let's not tarnish their memory but instead let their memory live through eternity!" Natsu finished, everyone's moods were raised a bit. They were inspired by Natsu's speech

"We'll give them the grandest send-off!" Natsu exclaimed

"Yeah!" Everyone stood up and agreed with Natsu

"Who are we?" Macao asked

"Fairytail"

"Who are we?" Macao asked again "I can't seem to hear anything Natsu"

"FAIRYTAIL!"

"Now that's better" Macao and Natsu said

"How about we start planning their send off now" Wakaba suggested

Everyone nodded.

TIMESKIP : THREE DAYS LATER

There was a big flock of people around Kardia Cathedral. The entire Fairytail guild was there, along with some members from other guilds, and the residents of Magnolia.

"We are here right now to honour and say our goodbyes to our comrades" Natsu said

"Even if they are not physically here with us, they are always with us, ,in here" he gestured to his heart.

With that Natsu pulled down a big piece of cloth covering a big structure. When it was revealed to the world, everyone was shocked and smiled. It was fitting for their fallen comrades.

It was a two story polished granite tablet with the words engraved "YOU"LL ALWAYS BE IN OUR HEARTS" and below that the names of their comrade who had passed.

Everyone paid respects to the tablet, saying their goodbyes to their friends there. It took them forever just to finish all of them. Fairytail, the other guilds, and the townsfolk, it took them nearly a day. They started at morning and the sun was setting on the horizon just for everyone to finish up. Soon it was Natsu and Happy who was left.

The duo approached the memorial tablet

"We'll make you proud gramps, we'll see you soon" Natsu said as a few tears managed to escape his eyes and fall on the ground

"Aye! I'll bring lots of fish. Enough for everyone!" Happy said while smiling and crying.

They stayed like that until the sun completely set

Inside the guild

"So what do you think will happen to us" Max asked Macao

"I don't know, but knowing us, we'll be able to pull through although we may never forget this, but we'll be able to put this behind us" Macao said

"No doubt bout that" Wakaba commented

"But we are missing a guild master, and all of our S-class members are gone. How will we be able to continue" Max said

"Don't you think it's obvious we need to pick a new guildmaster" Warren joined the conversation

"But who?" Max asked

"Well, I do have someone in mind" Macao said grinning

"Who is it?" Wakaba inquired

"Natsu." The fire mage replied easily

"hmmm" the others seemed to think about it.

"I think he'll do just fine" Wakaba said breaking the silence.

"Yeah, how he lifts other spirits up" Warren pointed out

"He's also strong" Max continued

"Yeah, let's talk to the others about this" Macao said

"Oh it starting to rain" someone in the guild pointed out the obvious

Kardia Cathedral

Natsu and Happy were still, there. It was starting to rain, and the drops were getting frequent. Natsu knew that they were being watched but let them be. If they attacked him, they are dumb and stupid. Attacking a mourning dragon is the stupidest thing you could do

"Happy" Natsu called out

"Aye?" Happy asked

"Go to the guild, I'll follow, the others may be worried about us" Natsu ordered

"Uhm,, Aye" Happy said "You'll be fine right?" the little cat turned back

"Yeah, I'll follow you" Natsu said, and with that the exceed left

"I know you're there come out" Natsu said to no one in particular. Apparently someone heard him, and revealed their presence fully to the dragon slayer

"You're the weird crossdresser" Natsu said in monotone

The hooded-figure stopped walking for a moment, but continued to walk towards them. It was a woman.

"I'm sorry" She said

"What for?" Natsu asked

"This was my fault" she continued as she removed her hood "My name is Ultear and I was associated with Grimoire Heart"

Natsu froze up when he heard Grimoire Heart. He then seemed to process it and grabbed Ultear's collar in one hand and reared back the other, preparing to hit the woman infront of him. Natsu let loose, Ultear closed her eyes and braced for it but it never came. She opened her eyes and saw Natsu's fist and inch away from her face.

"Sorry" Natsu said as she released Ultear

"What?" Ultear was confused

"I had no right to hit you" Natsu replied

"What? I attacked your guild, the're dead because of me!" Ultear shouted at Natsu.

Natsu gave her a light slap and looked at her directly in the eye

"Idiot. You may have attacked them but they beat you remember. They still beat you, it was Acnologia who killed them" Natsu said to her

"No you don't understand" Ultear tried to reason, because it was really her fault

"No it's you. Goodbye. I must be off to or they'll worry" Natsu excused himself and went towards the guild.
