I don't own Fairy Tail or any of these songs.
It's the best-experienced reading while listening to music so I will put the title and its singer before the chapter starts so the search will be easier.
Songs used for this Chapter:
Strike Back by Caleb Hyles
Unstoppable by The Score
Months after the Alvarez Empire Arc
It's a great day in Fairy Tail guild. Some guild members like Sabertooth, Lamia Scale, Blue Pegasus, Mermaid Heel, and Quatro Cerebrus.
Spriggan 12 is also disbanded. Some of them are invited to the party like Brandish who drag a reluctant Drimaria inside even though she still has trauma regarding the Fire Dragon Slayer and Irene (In my fanfic, Irene didn't die. I let Wendy heal her) who is trying to reconcile her relationship with her daughter.
The party is ongoing when some of the members realize something missing at the party.
" Erza. Did Natsu come back from his trip?" Lucy asks Erza who is having a conversation with her mother. Erza thinks of a moment before she looks around and not finding Natsu.
" Now that you mention it. It's already 3 months but he still did not come home. He supposed to be home now" Erza answer.
" Maybe he is in his house, forgot about the party" Gray answer who is table beside them talking to some of the guild members.
" Maybe we should go to his house. Maybe he is there" Lucy suggested. Erza nod and stand up in her seat.
" Excuse me... Mother. We will just check on our friend." Era excused herself.
" Do you want me to come? I want to meet the man that defeats Acnalogia and Zeref" Irene said.
" Sure. I'm sure Natsu won't mind" Erza said them she turns to Happy who is talking to Carla.
" Happy! We will be going to your house. Do you want to come?" Erza asks. Happy fly towards them and salute
" Aye. It's been 3 months since I saw Natsu. I miss him" Happy said as she leads them to the house.

Erza, Lucy, Gray, Wendy, Happy, Carla, and Irene arrive at Natsu's house. Instead of finding a small cottage cabin. They found a huge house that is built inside the forest that shocks them to the core except for Happy.
" W-What? W-When did Natsu build this big house?!" Lucy exclaimed not believing the huge house in front of her since she already saw Natsu's house before and it's not like what she remembered before.
" Looks like a lot of people living inside the house" Irene observe since there are surely a lot of rooms inside the house.
" Happy? When did Natsu build this?" Erza asks Happy who leads them inside? They marvel at the simple design of the house and its space. It looks like a different person is living here and not Natsu since they all knew how Natsu is.
" Natsu built this after we came back from our 1-year training." Happy replied. They look around and didn't find the dragon slayer.
" Looks like he still not home" Erza concludes as she looks around the room.
" Erza. You didn't tell me your friend knows some Runes" Irene commented as she is standing beside the bookshelf which is another shocking to the fairy tale.
" I can't believe that Flame-brain read books" Gray mutter shell shocked at the discovery.
" What do you mean?" Erza asks her mother who tap the bookshelf with her staff and runes appear.
" It's a cloaking rune" Wendy mutter as she approaches Irene.
" Correct. Something behind this bookshelf is hidden." Irene said tapping the runes.
" We should see what inside it," Gray said.
" Is it okay with Natsu? What if he got angry?" Lucy ask worried that the dragon slayer will get angry at them.
" Like Natsu had anything to hide from us. He is an open book as we know him" Gray answer.
" Gray is right. I'm also curious what's inside that Natsu put runes" Erza said.
" Should we see?" Irene asks as they all nod. The runes are destroyed and the bookshelf moved that startle them. They look at Happy who also has a confused look on his face.
" Don't look at me. Even I'm shocked at what I'm seeing" Happy answered. They went inside and stunned at what they see.
Inside the secret room is a studio record with differents instruments with a lot of lacrima cd that is organized in the shelves
" Are this lacrima cd!? What the hell is flame-brain doing with this?!" Gray asks incredulously.
" Looks like your dragon slayer friend has a secret talent," Irene said taking one of the lacrima cd seeing the name of the singer and composer in the disc.
" Wow. There's a lot of them" Wendy said in awe as she look around. She never knew her Natsu-nii composed a song.
" Why Natsu hide it from us?" Erza asks observing another disc.
" Did you know about this? Happy" Lucy asks looking at Happy who froze in shock.
" N-No... It's my first time being here" Happy answer.
" Really?" Carla asks incredulously. "You are always with Natsu and you didn't know about this," Carla said in disbelief.
" Looks like Natsu is good at hiding things as we thought."
" The Question is. Are these even good?" Gray asks as the Fairy Tail members all remember Gajeel singing and imagining it with Natsu making them cringe.
' This may be bad' Is what they thought. Irene who looks at their depressed expression is confused about why they suddenly look like that.
" Maybe we should bring it to your guild. I, for once want to hear this" Irene said showing to them the disc.
" What do you guys think?" Lucy ask.
" I think it's a great idea. It's an additional entertainment at the party. Grab a box that you can carry and we will bring it to the guild." Erza command each of them.
Time skip
All of them are having a good time when the door opened and the one who checks on Natsu came back with a box.
" What is that? I thought your gonna check on Natsu" Cana asks drinking her beer. They went inside and bring the disc to the table.
" Natsu is still not home though we found this inside his house," Erza said proudly at what they did.
' Isn't it an invasion of privacy ?' Some of the people thought as they look at them with sweat drops.
" What are these?" Mira asks as she takes one inside the box. She looks at the label and gasp. The people inside look interested in her sudden reaction.
" Are these music made by Natsu?" Mira exclaimed.

""" EEEEHHHH????!!!!!""""
They all exclaim. Some of them drop the mug that they are holding. Others jaw drop. And then...
" Hahaha! You're telling me that the most destructive mage is creating music?"
" I know. I'm also shocked" Gray said.
" Now that I think of it. I never heard Natsu-san sing" Sting said in wonder excited to hear Natsu sing.
" I don't know why but I'm having a hard time imagining Natsu singing and writing music," Kagura said shaking her head.
They all remember how Gajeel sings and changes it to Natsu and most of them cringe...
" Then. Let's take a bet! If Natsu is a good singer or not" Cana announced loudly making them cheer. Most of them bet on Natsu, not a good singer while few of them bet on him being a good singer.
" Then. Who wants to choose what to play first?" Cana asks.
" I will just pick whatever I touch" Macarov declares as he grabs cd inside and hands it to Mira.
" What is the title?" Gray asks Mira who looks at the label.
" It says here Strike Back" Mira said as she put it in a player.
Oh Oh Oh Ohh
Oh Oh Oh Ohh
Strike Back!
They stare in shock at the sound of bass and start of the harmony then turn into rock. They expect the sound of unimaginable noise but the start make the others nervous.
This talk of destiny and where I belong's been fed to me now for
Too long The pursuit of a purpose
For my life has left me dead inside.
We talk so casually about how "it's Fate", but when did I give fate the control?
No one's taking my future away, that is something saved for you!
Bring it on!
Cuz I'm jus gonna grow up in the battle HEY!!
Buchinuku donten!
Still burning my fire ten wo kirsaku raimei I Gotta kakikesu Nightmare tada mirai ga mitakute! Kako, mirai, soshite ikiteru ima, I ain't scared of my past and now for Takusareta asu Screaming out for my pride!!
It takes time for them to catch up that the voice they heard is Natsu. Then they turn to the person beside them.
" He can sing!!!" They shout in shock.
" Wow. I never knew Natsu-nii can sing so good"
" Nice perfume. Natsu-kun"
" Yes! I won the bet!"
" No!!!!! My money!!!"
" Quiet!!! The song still playing" Some of the girls say wanting to hear of Natsu song. They all shut up as they start to listen to the chorus.
With all the pain inside of me,
The tears I could never let you see, I know ( I'm never falling down, Cause I know that there's no such thing as Destiny)
This smile is fragile, incomplete.
Hidden away for none to see, you know ( I gotta blast off the pain for you and me! Tell the darkness to rest in peace!)
It's time to strike!!
" YEAH"
"That's was so awesome!!"
" WILD!"
" Natsu is a man!"
" This is a great song for battles." Sting said as Rouge nod in agreement
" Even the meaning of the song is great." Mira said as she touches her cheeks in awe hearing Natsu's music.
" Gihi. Salamander and I can create a band" Gajeel said while the others look at him deadpan.
" What!?"
" Nothing" They all turn to listen to the song once again.
It breaks my heart to tell you that I'm a fake.
And that this confidence I show,
Cannot take another hit or it all will then begin to fall.
I'm rational and grounded in my resolve, But when my reality dissolves I must fight for Tomorrow so that I can share this dream with you!
" That likes Natsu-dono" Jura said nodding at the lyrics. The others nod in agreement.
" I can't believe that destructive mage can create a song like this" Brandish whisper to Drimaria who is shaking in her place.
" That demon. Randi... He can sing" Brandish sweat drops at her knowing she is still traumatized with her fight to Natsu.
"My... Looks like he really has a talent" Irene said to her daughter who nods.
" Yeah. I never expected it from Natsu" She answered her mother.
Rally the troops, gather round, tell the soldiers "follow me now".
Don't you ever stop! We'll pay them back in spades now. For taking mine (and taking yours) rewind the lies as it plays back.
Don't try to (control me) you'll find this beast impossible to tame.
Struggle, sorrow,
They'll disappear like bubbles
But this Flame in my heart is like an ever-burning candle.
Screaming out for your pride!
I take on all the agony, if it means we can both be free, let's go! ( Nobody can blow out my fire, you and I, Never knowing how high we will climb)
No more living to hesitate. I won't lose sight along the way, my goal! ( Don't blind your eyes, if you're lost on the way! Trust in me now, I will be your light!)
Hahahaha
So take my hands!! I live for this sh- Papercut break)
With all the pain inside of me,
The tears I could never let you see,
I know ( I'm never falling down, Cause I know that there's no such thing as Destiny)
This smile is fragile, incomplete.
Hidden away for none to see, you know ( I gotta blast off the pain for you and me! Tell the darkness to rest in peace!)
Kokoro wo moyashite, trash tsudzukeru yo zutto. ( Nobody can blow out my fire kesenai! Koeru hai I ro no sekai! )
Mayowana I yo wo ni, miushinawana I yo ni zutto. ( Don't blind your eyes, if you're lost on the way! Kamawanai I'm gonna be your light!)
So take my hand!!
All of the people especially the men cheer at the song as it ended. All those who lose in bet cried and muttering never doubting Natsu again.
" Macky-chan. You never told me that you have another talented member in your guild" Master Bob said to Macarov who laugh
" I didn't even know that he hides his talent from us" Macarov answer.
" Natsu-san is so cool" Sting grin.
" I agree with you. And the lyrics are also amazing" Rouge said
" Let's listen to another song" Mira suggested as they all agree.
" Who's gonna pick next?" Lucy ask
" Me!" Happy said approaching the box and look for a song.
" You pick faster Happy!" Gray shouts from his table.
" There's so many of them!" Happy cried out not knowing what to choose.
" Just grab any cd," Carla said.
" Okay. I will just grab it. I was looking for a song about fish but I cannot find any." Happy whine making them sweat drops.
Happy grab the cd and gave it to Mira.
" This one is Unstoppable. Interesting choice Happy." Mira said putting the disc as drums can be heard and got them nodding in rhythm.
There's a moment
In your bones when
When the fire takes over
Blood is running
Heart is pumping
As the battle gets closer
Ooh, they can say what they want now
Ooh, 'cause we'll be screaming out
We can be heroes everywhere we go
We can have all that we ever want
Swinging like Ali, knocking out bodies
Standing on top like a champion
Keep your silver, give me that gold
You'll remember when I say
We can be heroes everywhere we go
Keeping us down is impossible
'Cause we're unstoppable
Oh Woah, we're unstoppable
Oh Woah, we're unstoppable
" Salamander is wild!" Bacchus shout and the other shout in agreement.
" But Who is Ali?"
" Who cares about Ali. This song should be played whenever there's a fight"
"Yeah!"
Every spotlight
Every sound byte
Everybody who gave up
Is just the fuel for
Wanting it more
Than anybody against us
Ooh, they can say what they want now
Ooh, 'cause we'll be screaming out
They are now drinking beer and laughing together as they all stomp their feet imitating the sound from the drum as their head is in sync with the music.
" Drinking beer is best with some music!" Cana said.
Some of them who already memorized the lyrics are singing along in the chorus.
We can be heroes everywhere we go
We can have all that we ever want
Swinging like Ali, knocking out bodies
Standing on top like a champion
Keep your silver, give me that gold
You'll remember when I say
We can be heroes everywhere we go
Keeping us down is impossible
'Cause we're unstoppable
Oh Woah, we're unstoppable
Oh Woah, we're unstoppable
Ooh, they can say what they want now
Ooh, 'cause we'll be screaming out
We can be heroes everywhere we go
We can have all that we ever want
Swinging like Ali, knocking out bodies
Standing on top like a champion
Keep your silver, give me that gold
You'll remember when I say
We can be heroes everywhere we go
Keeping us down is impossible
We're unstoppable
Oh Woah, we're unstoppable
Oh Woah, we're unstoppable
Oh Woah, we're unstoppable
Oh Woah, we're unstoppable
Oh Woah, we're unstoppable
We're unstoppable
"We're unstoppable!" They all shout as they all cheer when the song ended.
" That was awesome!" Romeo said pump out at the song.
" Why would Natsu-san hide this talent? He is amazing" Meredy asks.
" Maybe some of his secrets is in his song," Chelia said as they stare at her in confusion
" Ahh! You are right!" Mira squeal realizing what Chelia meant. Levy and Lucy who understand what she meant nod in agreement.
" What do you mean?" Wendy asks in confusion.
" They said songs are like a biography of a composer. That first two songs surely from the battles that Natsu experience." Mira answered as they all nodded.
" Then, we should listen more to his song. Maybe we will find out what is Natsu-san secret" Jenny said
" That's a great idea Who is gonna pick next?" Erza asks
This story is not all about listening to Natsu's music.
This is a new version of my story "Natsu's Little Dragoness."
I put a lot of changes in the story especially Natsu's pairing since I discover a new character that I love.
What do you think is Natsu's secret that none of them knew?
Hope you all like the First Chapter!
