Now, onto the story!
Chapter 8: Miracle and The Phoenix
Fairy Tail
Mira still has the blush on her face and is covering her cheeks with her hands. Lucy and Lisanna are still jealous that Natsu had written a song for Mira.
'You may be my sister, but you won't be taking Natsu from me, Mira-nee.' thought Lisanna as she about how she can make Natsu hers first.
'Lisanna, Mira. Natsu will be mine before you two can even try anything.' thought Lucy as she begins to plan ways to get Natsu to be hers.
Feeling the tension between the female mages, Makarov asks Erza to pick out a song to calm down the three female mages. Erza then walks up to the case and looks for a song that should be able to calm them down.
Meanwhile, the guild has gone back to questioning about why Natsu has written so many love songs, all for different girls.
"Why all of those songs? And why are they all for different girls? I mean, Natsu knows that he can only be with one girl right?" asks a couple of random guild members.
"Maybe Natsu thought that he could be with all of them at the same time." responds Bixlow, as his his 'babies' copy his sentence, "Natsu would be a lucky bastard if he could be with all of them though."
"Y'all really don't know anything about Salamander, do you?" responds Gajeel, looking kind of bored with the whole ordeal.
"What are you talking about Lead Head?" responds Gray, who is about to take off his shirt.
"What do you know about Salamander and his father, Igneel?" asks Gajeel, getting the attention of everyone in the guild, especially Lisanna, Lucy, and Mira.
"What do you mean? Igneel adopted Natsu and taught him how to use magic." responds Lucy.
"So, you don't know much about about Natsu's heritage. Figures." responds Gajeel.
"What are you talking about, Gajeel?"
"Natsu was trained by Igneel, the Fire Dragon King." responds Wendy. The guild all turn to Wendy as explains a more about Natsu.
"Yeah, we know that. What does that have to do with- Wait, Dragon King?!" shouts Gray. The guild shares Gray's outburst.
"Yeah, Salamander is son of the Fire Dragon King. And with that comes with some benefits." explains Gajeel. Right as Gajeel is about to explain what some of those benefits are, Erza shouts getting the attention of everyone in the guild.
"Ah-hah! Found one!" shouts Erza as she holds up a disc that she found. She shows the disc to the guild and they read the title.
"What kind of song is called 'Miracle'?" asks Gajeel.
"Don't know. Let's find out." Erza then puts the disc in the music player and lets the sound reverberate throughout the guild hall.
The guild is soon filled with the sounds of an acoustic guitar and drums as they wait to hear Natsu's vocals.
Say it once, tell me twice
Are you certain I'm alright?
Just a sign, to remind me
That tomorrow's worth the fight
Ever changing the storyline that keeps me alive
So make a wish, and say…
Give me life, give me love
Scarlet angel from above
Not so low, not so high
Keep it perfectly disguised
"Scarlet angel? Is he talking about Erza?" asks Levy. Erza then blushes as she thinks about how Natsu may like her.
Meanwhile, Lucy, Lisanna, and Mira are all jealous of Erza and begin to glare at Erza.
Ever changing the storyline that keeps me alive
My Mona Lisa's making me smile
Right before my eyes!
Take another look
Take a look around
It's you and me
It's here and now
As you sparkle in the sky
I'll catch you while I can
Cause all we are is all I am
I just want you to see
hat I've always believed
You are…
The miracle in me
By now everyone in the guild is remembering everything Erza did that seems like a miracle. Blocking a shot from the Jupiter Cannon, defeating 100 monsters in Pandemonium. And Erza is blushing as she realizes that this song is for her.
Show me faith, like you do
I'm amazed at how you move
Side to side, front to back
You know how to make it last
Ever changing the storyline that keeps us alive
My Mona Lisa's making me smile
Right before my eyes!
Take another look
Take a look around
It's you and me
It's here and now
As you sparkle in the sky
I'll catch you while I can
Cause all we are is all I am
I just want you to see
What I've always believed
You are…
The miracle in me
These are the moments you can't pass back
Let's turn the water to wine
One more time!
Take another look
Take a look around
It's you and me
It's here and now
As you sparkle in the sky
I'll catch you while I can
Cause all we are is all I am
I just want you to see
What I've always believed
You are…
The miracle in me
The miracle in me
You're the miracle in me
The guild is quiet as the song ends. And just like before, they are in a stunned silence.
"So, this song was for Erza, right?" asks Gray. Erza then blushes more, if that's possible, and punches Gray sending him through the guild's wall, knocking him unconscious. She then turns to the rest of the guild and glares at them, silencing them from saying their next thought.
"Wait, even if that was for Erza, Natsu will only be able to be with one of the girls that he wants. He won't be able to be with all of them." responds Levy, as she wonders about each of the songs they had heard.
"Actually, shrimp. He can." responds Gajeel, as he walks up to her. The guild all turn to Gajeel in surprise, none more surprised than Erza, Mira, Lisanna, and Lucy though. "Like I was saying, Salamander is the son of s Dragon King. And with that he is allowed to have multiple mates. Multiple mates to make sure he can pass his Dragon Slaying Magic on to the next generation." responds adds Gajeel as if it was common knowledge.
The guild then stare at him as they let the information set into their minds. As the info sets some of the men around the guild thought that Natsu was a lucky bastard, while some of the women started blushing more after learning something new about Natsu. Meanwhile, Lucy, Lisanna, Erza, and Mira are wondering if they'll be fine with sharing Natsu with the other girls of the guild. Meanwhile, Juvia still has conflicting thoughts about whether to be with Gray or be with Natsu.
Deciding to get the guild out of its current state, Romeo walks up to the case and looks for a song that he'll find interesting and that will show off more of his brother figure's talent. He looks through the case and finds a song called 'The Phoenix.' Deciding that this song might be as good as the others, he hands the puts the disc in the music player and lets the music sound throughout the guild.
The guild is ripped from their thoughts as they hear what sounds like violins echo throughout the guild. Romeo is now smiling as he feels excited from picking what sounds like a good song.
Put on your war paint
The guild look to Romeo and see that he has a smile on his face and stars in his eyes.
You are a brick tied to me that's dragging me down
Strike a match and I'll burn you to the ground
We are the jack-o-lanterns in July
Setting fire to the sky
He-here comes this rising tide
So come on
Put on your war paint
The guild is already wondering what Natsu is singing about, while Romeo is rocking along to the music, enjoying the song that his brother figure had written.
Crosswalks and crossed hearts and hope-to-dies
Silver clouds with grey linings
So we can take the world back from the heart-attacked
One maniac at a time we will take it back
You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start
So dance alone to the beat of your heart
Hey young blood
Doesn't it feel like our time is running out?
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Wearing our vintage misery
No, I think it looked a little better on me
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
The guild is now rocking along to the music, enjoying the feel and rhythm of music. Meanwhile Romeo is feeling like Natsu had written this song for him. Which is raising his admiration for the talented Natsu Dragneel.
Bring home the boys and scrap scrap metal the tanks
Get hitched and make a career out of robbing banks
Because the world is just a teller and we are wearing black masks
"You broke our spirit," says the note we pass
So we can take the world back from the heart-attacked
One maniac at a time we will take it back
You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start
So dance alone to the beat of your heart
Hey young blood
Doesn't it feel like our time is running out?
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Wearing our vintage misery
No, I think it looked a little better on me
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Put on your war paint
[4x:]
The war is won
Before it's begun
Release the doves
Surrender love
(Wave the white flag!)
Hey young blood
Doesn't it feel like our time is running out?
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Wearing our vintage misery
No, I think it looked a little better on me
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Hey young blood
Doesn't it feel like our time is running out?
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Put on your war paint
The guild is pumped up as the song comes to an end. Romeo speaks up and breaks the silence in the guild.
"That was awesome!" shouts Romeo, admiration for the Fire Dragon Slayer higher than ever before.
"Hey Romeo, what song was it that you had picked out?" asks Macao.
"It said 'The Phoenix.' I had picked the one I though had the coolest sounding title." explains Romeo, making his father sweatdrop.
"Nonetheless, Romeo is right. That was an excellent song." responds Freed.
"It was. I wonder what made Natsu want to write that song. Or when he wrote that song." adds Lucy.
Romeo looks to the disc and sees the date of the song, "The date is right after you guys came back from Tenrou." After looking at the date, Romeo now believes that Natsu wrote this for him. "Hey, maybe he wrote this for me. It did say I'll change and I'll raise you like a phoenix."
The guild all look to Romeo before entering their thoughts and connecting the dots in the song. While the guild are beginning to agree with Romeo's comment, Cana walks up to case and shifts through the music, looking for one that will catch her eye.
