Hi guys!
*Ducks to avoid the thrown furniture.*
I'm sorry! I haven't had the time to work on my stories. Hopefully, this makes up for the wait. A fan made song will be in this chapter, just to let you all know.
Enjoy, or not, I don't care you all have your opinions.
Everything belongs to their respective owners.
Chapter Twenty-Five: United we stand and The Night
As Freed goes to find a song that will hopefully not anyone shed tears anymore, the others are once more discussing about the songs they have heard. So nothing has change.
"Why did that guy in the last song have to die?" Elfman asked once again as he still shed manly tears about the song.
"I don't know," Gray responded to the white haired male, as the ice mage himself managed to stop any tears that threatened to fall earlier. "What I want to know is why Flamebrain would make a song about something like that?"
"Trust me Gray, we all want to know why Natsu would make something like that." Lucy responded to the ice mage.
"There must have been a reason for it though right?" Kagura asked the others, getting their attention, "It's unlikely that Natsu would just make a song about something like that for no reason." The swordswoman of Mermaid Heel finished her speaking.
"What ever the reason he made that song, it was still amazing." Sting replied to the others, who nodded in agreement.
"It was beautiful as well!" Mirajane also told the others.
As the others continued to discuss about the songs they have listened too so far, Freed continued to attempt to find anything that both interested him and find a song that won't make people cry or feel sad.
'Come on, he must have something we haven't listen too yet to lighten the mood.' The green hair rune mage thought to himself as he continued to search in the bag of CDs.
Eventually, after a few more moments, he managed to find a music disk that caught his attention. It was labeled, "United we stand". To Freed, this didn't look like it could be a sad song.
"I found one!" He exclaimed, getting the others attention.
"What did you find?" Evergreen asked him, as he showed them the CD he chose.
"That doesn't sound like a bad or song." Erza voice her opinion about the CD, as others agreed with the red haired woman.
"Well, go ahead and play it then." Rogue told Freed, who agreed as he went to the radio, put the music disk in, and proceeded to hit the play button.
Immediately, rock music was heard, catching the others by surprised from the sudden rock music. After a couple of seconds, the lyrics were heard.
In a world of suffering and pain
In a world that plagues the grass we march upon
Thy will be done
With a cause that's noble to core
We ask for the people of this world to stand tall
Prepared to fall
But in this new age we will hold our ground
We ready our fire with a drum roll sound
Now fight, for the flag you wave and
Fight for the badge your wear
Your country needs your devoted pride
Now wave your honour high
The divide has broken tides
The demand has come to
Ask for your guiding hands
United we stand
This caught everyone by surprised. They weren't expecting the song to sound so… patriotic. Hisui and the Garou Knights were more surprised than anything, since Natsu didn't sound like the kind of person to care about something like one's country, or at least be so patriotic about it. The lyrics were heard once again before anyone could dwell on their thoughts.
In a land that plagues our anarchy
With an army powered by brutality
Our destiny awaits as we fall one by one
Pray to god we have a plan
Praying for the men who take a stand
It's not a question but a demand!
No matter the distance we march on the ground
We show no mercy to the drum roll sound
Now fight, for the flag you wave and
Fight for the badge your wear
Your country needs your devoted pride
Now wave your honour high
The divide has broken tides
The demand has come to
Ask for your guiding hands
United we stand
The war has begun!
Ignite the torch!
Unleash the force!
(We coud live or die tonight)
We give our lives reach to skies
Our holy redemption cries!
(Take it to the grave tonight)
I can still hear the corruption on the battlefield
The bullets lay stiller then the cold dead bodies
Around me
We've lost many, our families weep for our losses
Would we die with no cause?
Or show no mercy to the wicked?
Now fight, for the flag you wave and
Fight for the badge your wear
Your country needs your devoted pride
Now wave your honour high
The divide has broken tides
The demand has come to
Ask for your guiding hands
United we stand
The war has begun!
Ignite the torch!
Unleash the force!
(We coud live or die tonight)
We give our lives reach to skies
Our holy redemption cries!
(Take it to the grave tonight)
The song ended, leaving everyone in the guild, not surprisingly, silent.
"That sounded awesome!" Romeo shouted in awe, he thought the song sounded amazing.
"I feel pumped up from it!" Elfman also exclaimed, as he too thought the song sounded amazing.
"It was amazing, but I'm surprise to hear him sing something like that." Kama told the others. He didn't expect for the fire dragon slayer to sing something so patriotic. At least to him and the others knights it sounded patriotic.
"It is surprising, but it still was enjoyable." Makarov also spoke.
"Is it okay if I pick another song?" Yukino asked everyone else, who didn't seem to mind.
After getting the okay, the silver haired celestial mage went to the bag of music disks to find a song for them to listen to once more. After a few moments, she stumbled upon a CD with a title that confused her. Picking it up, the song was labeled "The Night". This kind of name confused the Sabertooth wizard.
"Why did he call it that?" Yukino questioned, getting the others in the guild hall's attention.
"Called it what?" Hisui asked the silver haired female, who showed everyone the disk she chose.
"That's an odd name for a song." Neppa replied, as he and a few others found the name to be weird for a song as well.
"Yukino, go ahead and play it to see if we can figure it out." Lucy asked the other mage, who nodded in agreement as she went to the radio, and proceeded to put in the disk and hit the play button.
Without warning, rock music was heard once more, though the sudden rock made a few people jumped in surprised. The lyrics were then heard before anyone could say anything.
What has come over me
What madness taken hold of my heart
To run away, the only answer
Pulling me away
To run upon my sight
So now recovering
Sweet shadow taking hold of my mind
Another day has been devoured
Calling me away, bringing the question
Why
For saving me from all they've taken
Let my honor fall again
Giving me the strength to face them
Feeling it taking over now
I'm about to take it all away
There can be no better way of knowing
In a world beyond controlling
Are you going to deny the savior
In front of your eyes
Stare into the night
Power beyond containing
Are you going to remain a slave for
The rest of your life
Give into the night
This caught the interest of everyone in the guildhall. They thought it sounded epic so far, but they were confused as they didn't know what the meaning of the lyrics was. The lyrics were heard once more.
This self discovery
Redemption taking hold of my mind
This serenade of haunting voices
Calling me away
To piece from the sight
So much felicity
Downgrade and taking hold of my head
Leading me away from hibernation
Strong and I'm unafraid
Never a question why
For saving me from all they've taken
Let my honor fall again
Giving me the strength to face them
Feeling it taking over now
I'm about to take it all away
There can be no better way of knowing
In a world beyond controlling
Are you going to deny the savior
In front of your eyes
Stare into the night
Power beyond containing
Are you going to remain a slave for
The rest of your life
Give into the night
No one could figure out what the message was here, if there was even a message in this song. Erza herself wondered what the song's meaning was. For some reason though, the lyric "Are you going to remain a slave for the rest of your life" was nagging at her for some reason, as it brought up memories of the Tower of Heaven. Looking over to Millianna, the red haired woman saw that the cat-like woman was also thinking something similar. The remaining lyrics were heard once again.
Give in to the night
In a world beyond controlling
Are you going to deny the savior
In front of your eyes
Stare into the night
Power beyond containing
Are you going to remain a slave for
The rest of your life
Give into the night
Night, night, night
Give into the Night
Night, night, night
Give into the night
The song ended, leaving the guild in silence. This isn't surprising anymore.
"Okay, that song sounded cool, but what did any of that mean?" Rogue asked the others, who were just as confused as the shadow dragon slayer.
"How should we know?" Kamika replied, as if anyone here would know what the song meant.
Everyone was in a thinking pose at the moment, as they couldn't figure out if the song had some sort of message behind it. Erza and Millianna were mostly thinking compared to the others. They couldn't help but feeling at this song, or at least certain parts of it, were for them to listen too.
Makarov looked into the pile of music disks himself, and figured that it was best to listen to another song before they hurt their brains trying to figure out "The Night" song's meaning, if it had one. So while everyone else was discussing and thinking, the Fairy Tail guild master went to pick another song.
Okay, there's that song. Still need a song for Sayla to listen too. If you have a song, make sure to let me know the song's for Sayla to listen too.
See you all next time, whenever that will be.
