On with the story
After the drug incident with Kagura, things been quite peaceful for Natsu
Natsu was at the library reading some books while Mira was doing her brain training
"done!" Mira said as she handed Natsu her paper
Natsu looks at her paper and looks at her answer before smirking
"this is surprising…you got them all right" Natsu said "very well done"
"alright!" Mira said before a stack of papers was placed upon her desk and ten books were stacked up in front of her as well
"now then, let's go with level 10, answer them all, get one wrong and it's metal spike ball training" Natsu said having a metal spike ball in his hand
Mira instantly screech in fear as Natsu had once trained her with them and it hurts like hell to get hit by one
"SHUUUSH!" the entire library hushes her before they go back to reading
Class started again as Natsu was doing a pop quiz with the other students
"time is up, hand over your paper to the front and collect it to my desk" the teacher said as the clock reached 1 o'clock and the time was up
Everyone stopped writing as they handed their paper to the one in front who repeated the action
Natsu gathered his line's paper before standing up and place it to the teacher's desk
The school bell then rang as it signs the end of school
"allright class! Remember to do your assignment of page 25 and 30 on Magic Resource Circle chant!" the teacher said
"yes!" the class responded before they stand up and bowed to the teacher goodbye
The teacher gets out of class before some students followed behind
Natsu sat down on his desk as he takes out his book and started reading the bookmarked page
"hey, Natsu! Me and my friends want to go to the karaoke, you want to go?" Lucy asked with some of the female students behind her
"pass, singing aint' my forte" Natsu replied before flipping the next page of his book
"come on! Just once won't hurt! And besides, Mira-san had something to do that she skips training today" Lucy said grabbing Natsu's hand "please!"
"haaaa…. Alright, alright" Natsu said closing his book before grabbing his bag
Skip
Natsu and Lucy with her group of friends went to a local karaoke as they rented a room for themselves before settling in
"I think you know them by name but first meeting is always the best" Lucy said as she nodded to her friends
"I'm Levy McGarden, I'm a Script mage. Nice to meet you!" one girl with light blue hair introduced herself while creating a floating words beside her that says 'hello'
"Cana Alberona, nice to meet you hot guy!" the other one who had an unbuttoned top said while drinking something that looks to be wine
"Cana's a bit weird but she's a great friend" Lucy said while sweatdropping to see Cana acting all drunk
To bet noted, in Fiore the age of 18 is regarded as the age of an adult thus allowing her to drink
"Juvia is Juvia, that is all" the other one introduced herself while looking a bit gloomy
"I see" Natsu replied before taking a sip of his drink
"then without a further ado!" Lucy said raising a mic "let's sing!"
"yeah!" Cana and the others cheered while Natsu takes out his book
Everyone sing, dance and partied like teenagers while Natsu just sits down and reads his book
"hey! You sing too!" Cana said giving a mic to Natsu
"singing ain't my forte" Natsu said as he reads his book
"come on! Just one song!" Cana said with a drunk smile
"fine" Natsu said sighing as he grabbed the remote and looks at the sing in the list
His eyes scan the list before one caught his eye
"they still have this old song, huh?" Natsu muttered out as he pressed it and the song was chosen
Soon a soft melody played out as the room turned blue
"Omoiegaita ano keshiki wa tōku ni kasunde" Natsu sings out in a soft tempo as the girls instantly melted to hear such a soft voice
Oikakete yuku sono senaka o tada mitsumete ita
Tebanasu riyū o sagasu toki mo atta
Sore de mo kawaranu negai nijinde yuku
Kimi dake o terasu hikari itsu ka todoku yō ni
Kono michi o tsunaide yukō kogarete iru ano mirai e
Kimi dake o terasu hikari itsu ka todoku yō ni
Kono michi o tsunaide yukō ano mirai e to
Kimi dake ga mitsukedaseru ashita ga aru kara
Kono michi wa tsuzuite yuku yo yumemite iru sekai no hate e
Kimi to itsu ka waraeru hi made
The song ended before the score appeared and Natsu got a 100, a perfect score
"oh…my….god" Lucy said "that was the most…..i mean the most amazing voice, I've ever heard, in my entire life"
"Juvia is….Juvia is surprised" Juvia said with a shocked face
"yeah, I somehow feel turned on" Cana said fanning herself "are you single?"
"Cana" Levy said with a sweatdrop
Natsu sighs before he placed down the mic and went back to reading
After the Karaoke, it was noon and time to go home
"see ya!" Lucy exclaimed waving goodbye to Cana and the others who were going the other way as they waved back
Natsu and Lucy then went on as they head home and as they headed home, they chatted a bit
"seriously Natsu, you said that singing ain't your forte but you sing like an idol star!" Lucy said still amazed at Natsu's singing talent "when did you learn how to sing like that?"
"I didn't" Natsu said "never knew I could because I never tried"
"then the song you pick? There's no way that you could sing that song if you didn't heard it once" Lucy said "did you hear it before?"
"I did" Natsu said "from an old friend"
"a singer?" Lucy asked
"gone" Natsu said as an image of a church sister lying dead on the ground with blood pooling everywhere appeared in his head "long gone"
"sorry" Lucy said frowning a bit as she had just made Natsu feel a bit uncomfortable to his past
"it's fine" Natsu said "let's just go home"
Arriving home at eve, Natsu sat on his bed with Happy on his stomach as the man petted the little feline
The kitten purrs as Natsu scratched its head and back
He smiles to his pet before hearing a ring from his phone
Natsu grabs his phone and sees the caller was Mira
He coughs a bit as his voice changes before answering the call
"what is it, Mira?" Natsu talked on the phone while he scratched Happy's back
"long time no hear, Natsu" a voice spoke on the phone as it wasn't Mira's voice "have you been well?"
Veins instantly pops out of nowhere around Natsu's head as so did the black markings that spreads around his body
"you bastard! If you hurt Mira, I'll find you and kill you!" Natsu shouted as his voice turned demonic
Happy jumps away as Natsu let out a demonic growl
"I would love that but…this is merely a call..i'm just borrowing her phone's id" the voice replied as a chuckle was heard "you sound very well…I assume that you have control over your own power now?"
"state your business!" Natsu shouted as flames started to rage around his back
"merely calling to check up on you, Natsu….or should I say TS-00E?" the voice said as Natsu's eyes glowed red and black "I hope that you remember of what you truly are…you're just a-"
"SILENCE! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT OVER ME! YOU HEAR ME!" Natsu shouted as black flames rages around his claws before his horns started to get longer and jagged
"hahahaha, you may state whatever you want, Natsu…" the voice spoke "but…deep inside…you know what you are….no matter how much you try to deny it"
"YOU BASTARD!" Natsu shouted
"I'll be in touch Natsu, and I'll be watching you" the voice spoke before Natsu destroyed the lacrima phone
Natsu growls in anger as he huffs out flames from his mouth
Happy meowed as Natsu looks at the kitten and sees it trembling in fear
Natsu's rage slowly subsides as his flames disappeared
"come here" Natsu said kneeling down as Happy walks towards Natsu before being carried up by him
He sat down on his bed as he started petting Happy who purrs to him
"why….why now?" Natsu said before looking to the moon outside his window
In a dark room, that seems to be some sort of a lab. A figure was sitting by a desk with another standing beside
The figure had a phone in his hand as the caller hanged up and got disconnected
"my my, he sounds so energetic" the figure said "it's been long since I heard him being so angry"
"what is your order?" the standing figure asked
"nothing" the sitting figure replied "let him have the wanted freedom he has for now"
The figure gets off of his seat before going to one giant cylinder tube that is filled with purplish green liquid
"till his present is born..till that time is right..then the End can come" the figure said with a smile as in the giant tube was a woman with black tentacles latching around her body
The tentacles seem to be pumping purple glowing energy into the woman as black markings spreads around her body
Golden horns were on each side of the woman's head and black markings spread to her neck, up to her face before the woman's eyes open and they were dark as the night
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
