(Fairy Tail Guild Hall-The next Day)
Natsu walked into the guild hall and grinned as he saw the whole of the remaining members sat there "Hello" "Hi Natsu" everyone shouted back, Natsu walked over to Macau "So, why is everyone just sat here?". Macau chuckled "Can you not think off any reason?" Natsu stroked his chin in thought "Maybe…a temporary guild master?" Macau nodded before walking up to the stage, he looked over everyone.
"As you all know, our friends won't be able to be returned to us for seven years, now because of this, the magic council will either demand we get a new guild master or we get shut down, I will now leave it to Laki to discuss what we found in Master Makarov's office about this subject, Laki, it's your show now" Macau walked off the stage and Laki stood up and walked onto it, she quickly pulled out a slip of paper.
Laki looked at the sheet "Now Master Makarov had suspected that he wasn't going to stay Master forever so he wrote down three applicants for the position, now the last person on the list was none other than Laxus Dreyer". People clapped but Laxus shook his head "I don't want the position, we've seen what happens when I get thrown into positions of power" Laki nodded "We understand Laxus, and I for one am glad that you have matured since the festival".
Everyone cheered and laughed at that and Laxus chuckled, Wendy jumped on his back and he quickly wrapped his arms around her legs to keep her from falling "I think you would have done just great Laxus-Nii" Laxus smiled "Thanks Wendy". Laki coughed getting everyone's attention "the person who would have been the master's first choice was Gildarts Clive but as we know, he is on Tenrou" they all nodded "So that leaves master's second choice, the heart of the guild, a person who inspires/drags people kicking and screaming to greatness, none other than Natsu Dragneel".
Natsu looked at Laki for a moment before he clicked "EH?" everyone laughed at his reaction, Ultear grinned "How very articulate of you Natsu" Natsu grumbled before turning back to Laki "You can't be serious" Laki nodded "It says right here exactly what I said, Natsu Dragneel, you were Master Makarov's second choice for guild master as you would never let anything harm us".
Some of the others started to voice their opinions "Yea, Natsu has never let us down" "He is the strongest one here bar Laxus" "He has saved us god knows how many times" "Natsu-Nii is the best" Natsu looked on in shock at the support he was being given. "I…I thought you all saw me as an annoying brat" Gajeel smirked "We do, Gihihi, but you are one of the most powerful mages here".
Natsu turned to Gajeel with a smile "Thanks Metalhead" Laxus patted Natsu on the shoulder "I think you should do it Natsu, you are the Dragon King after all, how hard could it be to keep this guild intact for someone of your power?" Natsu sighed and Wendy climbed over Laxus's shoulder and sat on it. "Go for it Natsu-Nii, I believe in you" Natsu chuckled, Meredy walked over "You pulled me an Ul back from the darkness, I think it is time to show the world the power of awesome hair".
Natsu couldn't help it, he burst into laughter "Hahahaha, so true Meredy" Natsu then looked over all of their hopeful faces and sighed with fond smile "Fine, but if I fuck up, it's all on you lot" everyone let out a laugh, Natsu walked up to the stage. He stood up straight and looked over them all with a smile "We know that are friends are alive" everyone cheered "I know some of us have had our differences in the past".
Some of them nodded "But we are a family, no matter who comes against us, there is no enemy we cannot defeat, no obstacle we cannot overcome, we are Fairy Tail and we will not bow to anyone, now, who are we?" "Fairy Tail" "I can't hear you" "FAIRY TAIL" Natsu nodded "Damn right we are, and we will not be beaten". The guild roared with happiness as Laxus used his Lightning Body to get to the stage "Now let's party for the new master of Fairy Tail".
The guild instantly went back to being it's crazy self, chairs were launched, beers were drank, a brawl was started, all the while Natsu was sat cross legged on the bar, he smiled as he looked over them all, Wendy went over and sat on the stool next to him "What are you thinking about Natsu-Nii?". Natsu smiled ta her before responding "Just how tight this guild is, we are going to make it through this, I will make sure of it".
As everyone was about to settle down they heard a knock on the door, everyone turned and stared at the door in disbelief "Did someone really just knock on our door?" Laxus strolled over and opened it to reveal Doranbolt "What can we do for you?" Doranbolt looked up at him and smiled thinly "A beer would be nice". Laxus blinked then nodded and pointed at the bar, Doranbolt walked over and looked at Kinana "A beer please?" Kinana nodded and poured him a beer before handing it to him.
Doranbolt took a swing before sighing and turning to Natsu "The council wants to know who your next Guildmaster is" Natsu smirked "They are not gonna like our answer" Doranbolt took another swig "And why is that?" Wendy smiled sweetly "Because Natsu-Nii is the new Guildmaster of Fairy Tail". Doranbolt almost spat out his beer "Are you serious?" Harry snickered "Nope, that was my Godfather" everyone looked at him strangely "Sorry, inside joke, my Godfather's name was Sirius".
Everyone snickered as they caught on, Happy flew over "Aye Sir, Natsu is now the Guildmaster, Natsu I wanna fish" Natsu turned to Kinana "Kinana, be a dear and get a fish from the pile for Happy would you?" Kinana smiled "Of course Master Dragneel" before walking away. Natsu almost fell off the bar "That…is gonna take some getting used to" "Aye Sir" Harry smirked "You'll get used it to, Master Dragneel" Natsu scowled at him before turning to Gajeel and Laxus "You two had best not start calling me that".
Both turned to each other before turning back with smirked "Why not? Master Dragneel" "After all, it is your title, Master Dragneel" Natsu grabbed his head and cried anime tears "Why did I take this job?" Wendy patted him on the shoulder "Because you are a symbol of hope for this guild and we needed you". Natsu smiled down at Wendy "Thank you Wendy, you always know what to say to make me feel better" Wendy smiled "No problem Natsu-Nii-Chan".
Doranbolt burst into laughter "Hahaha, Damn, the council is definitely going to hate this, this must be Fairy Tail's impression of a major fucking prank on the council right?" Natsu grinned "No, but that is a major bonus, the actual reason is a note left by Gramps, he left it behind and it had the next possible Guildmasters on it, I was his second choice" Doranbolt blinked "Who was the first?" "Gildarts".
Doranbolt the spent the next 3 hours partying and drinking with the Fairy Tail guild, he stumbled off of his seat, Natsu grabbed him "Stay for the night, you can go tomorrow" Doranbolt looked at him before nodding, Natsu had Kinana lead him to the infirmary before he turned to Harry "So, this is definitely been one of the more interesting days at the guild" Harry grinned "Well, I for one thought it was a good second day of being a guild mage" Natsu chuckled as Harry walked off.
