"Fairy Tail Resistance" chapter 4
I ran inside the bar room pulling a blond by her hand. We basically flew down the stairs and up through another door of the first floor to find ourselves in a pub like room. It was actually a large kitchen area with dining room adjoined, since this place used to be a hospital. But now it's just a beat up guerrilla fortress. Amazingly, from all the places that is dusty or rusty, this place is the best kept. The walls were in cement, but the floor and tables are in wood. We had a counter separating the kitchen and the dining area so like that it had a bar. Mirajane was the best cooker, so we let her be the manager here with Juvia Lockster, Gray's lunatic stalker, and Mira's brother sometimes helped his sister. Levy took the people's order and headed to help Mira too.
After I got in, most of the faces looked up, got up, and bowed low to later have their right hand over their brows in a salute fashion. Oh, boy.
"Welcome, Commander Natsu."
I could feel a vein about to pop out of my forehead "How many times have I said it; no salutes like this. We are all the same! Nakamas!"
"NAKAMAS!" they screamed. They knew how much this irked me.
I groaned and walked over the bar, with a brown eyed girl holding to the back of my black vest. Seriously, this girl is a weirdo, holding her enemy's clothing like as if he's going to protect her. The blond's nail almost dug in my skin but I acted as if nothing. I sat at one of the barstools, and the rest of the people resumed to their daily chat. It was already eight, the time we took off, and took turns to let some people stand watch. Lucy sat besides me. Her hands between her legs like as if she were impeding somebody to look at her as she looked down. Weirdo.
"Miss Lucy! Welcome to the Fairy Tail reunion! What would you like?" Mira noticed us and came towards us. Probably noticed the blonde's nervousness between so many strangers.
"Coffee…"
"Um… I don't know if we have that but I'll check in the back" The white haired wonder went to the back. I smirked.
"You drink coffee?"
"Yeah, so what?" clearly annoyed but she still had fear.
"Pampered aristocrat." I scoffed.
"Why you-."
"I'm sorry Miss, there's no coffee. We got rum, beer, vodka, and whiskey."
The brown eyed girl gawked before answering. "Do you at least have water?" She sighed
"Yes."
"Then I would like some water."
I began to laugh. This girl can be so weird! Of course she has to come from high social people. Only do they drink coffee and tea. Well, tea was a bit cheaper but not as cheap for us. The foreign girl was frowning at me for taking all this comical, but it later turned to a smirk as I was thrown some cold water over my spiky hair. I turned around to glare at my dear… enemy…
"Oi! What the fuck Gray! Why do you have to throw me some ice cold water?!"
"'Cause your annoying laugh was the only thing sounding in this shithole. So do me a favor and shut the fuck up!"
"I don't take stupid orders from a from a damn stripper!?"
"Who are you calling stripper firebrain?"
"The one that has no pants nor shirt!"
"Wha-." He looked down embarrassed as I grinned.
"Haahaha serves you right!"
"Why you-!"
And that's when the punches and kicks came flying. Gray swing a punch at my cheek, but instead, landed on Gajeel. Gajeel stood up for giving an iron punch at Gray, but instead got Macao. I punched Gray, and he kicked me close to the notch. Macao punched me in the ribs before I could jump on the spiked short black haired stripper. The Iron worker tried to take his foot at full force towards me and instead landed on some of the other members by kicking the table. Soon, this entire pub was a battle field. Even Cana the drunkard got in the middle. Yeah, this was one great and awesome break. I was laughing of all the thrill and adrenaline that came from something as stupid as this. It gave me a moment to feel like a normal prowler than a strict bossy dude. A bit like the real me. This went all for a while, whilst me wishing for this not to end.
But all has to die, one way or another.
"Alright up you too!"
Gray and I were picked by our ears and not even our cries of pain could make this she-devil with a sword and red hair have some compassion for us. She dragged us towards a corner, throwing us against the wall. Incontinently, Gray and I hugged as we trembled in fear looking up at the glaring eyes of the monster called… Erza Scarlet.
"Now, why are you two douches here fighting as usual!?"
"W- w- we were hoping to have some fun!"
"Aye!" I imitated my son, about how he says yes. "W-w-we were bored! And wanted some fun!"
She smirked "Gray. You could've had fun in another way… seeing as you are nude in front of a man."
He looked at me as I eyed him and gasped simultaneously. I ran away so Erza can have all the fun to herself and went to Mira. She was serving some tap water to the so called 'Miss Lucy.' The blond chick was just finishing to tell the white haired lady that she could call her 'Just Lucy'.
"So, little miss pamper. How you liking this crazy place?" I grinned slouching one of my arms around her shoulders, something I tend to do very much. "There are other places but they are pretty far away."
"It's a large ruckus and You wanted to kill me at sight. But I think I can manage…"
"Good! Enjoy your tap water."
The instant I told her my last sentence, she spilled almost all of the gulps she drank and pushed away the chipped cup. Serves her right. But I got some important stuff now. I looked at my "nakamas", or friends. This was basically a code name to address us all in general. It was already twenty thirty, which meant the night shift had to start.
"Nakama!" they all shushed at my command. Almost just like Erza. "I'm going to announce the night shift. I want Macao take Romeo's position, with Wakaba." The blue haired man that was Romeo's father nodded alongside his blond friend. "Jet, Droy, and Gajeel have the back part. Laxus, Cana, and Elfman. If something is to happen, Notify me or Erza. Hopefully Erza cause she slept last night while I didn't do much." The people snickered a bit. It was a false alarm to a cactus thanks to Mickey.
"Something else?" some of the people asked.
"No. That is all."
I got off from the table I had climbed and walked out. I wanted to see how was Happy since I didn't see him at the break hour. Walking some hallways in the first floor, I got up the stairs and found him in our room sleeping at his top hammock. I smiled a bit as I walked towards him. I passed softly a hand lovingly over his blue cat hat. He was so much like a younger me. Full of innocence…
"He's like a son to you isn't he…?"
I looked back to see Mira there standing at the door smiling. She must've followed me after seeing my worried expression over my best friend. Or she was also worried because he usually went to eat fish. This kids and their fetishes for fish. I smiled at the mother figure of the resistance.
"Yeah… He is so much like me…" I looked back at Happy
"And like Lisanna…"
I looked back again to see the white haired woman start to shed tears. I instantly walked towards the tall lady and hugged her.
"Lisanna… she was so young! And she was helping you out with him, since she always dreamnt of being a mother even in this conditions… But those damn soldiers had to take her away and kill her in my eyes… Oh Lissana…!"
The bartender covered her face as cried and cried. I tried to make myself stoic, but was of no use… since I also felt the same as her. Lisanna was Mirajane's sister… the blue eyed girl was identical to Mirajane. Only diference was that she styled her hair in a bob cut… I still remember that day….
It was a raining Monday... very heavily because of the storm the storm that was passing. Us, Fairy Tail Resistance, were lagging off like we usually did on this bad weathers that pass. So we held a reunion at the bar, doing what every noisy thing we could do. Since the rain was heavy, and so was the thunder, we weren't prepared for what came next; those kingdom soldiers of Raven Tail.
Those knights came in as if they belonged. Marched right to everything, and destroyed all that was in their path. By the time we saw them, it was too late. Fairy Tail Fought like as if there was no tomorrow, but… even sacrifices were made… And that was our dear Lisanna… Poor little Lisanna trying to defend this resistance with her bare hands received a spear pierce through her back and heart… right infront of her older brothers Elfman and Mirajane. It was this that gave us some strong vengeance against them. Even Makarov's death wasn't compared to this, because she was still innocent… barely any malice in her.
In the end, we defeated the ten thousand soldiers, but lost one of our best friend…
"Mira…"
"I know." She tried to clear her tears. "I actually came here to tell you about the new girl. But in the end I think about my sister. Maybe cause I miss her and would like to see Lisanna in Lucy…"
I nodded, and asked about what news she had.
"Lucy will have to stay here in your room, until we can make some space. We'll do it tomorrow the decision, m'kay?"
I nodded again. I was in no mood to fight now. But someone was.
A certain blond female entered fuming about why she had to stay in the same room as 'the dumb flamehead' (which might be by my certain favorite weapon). She flapped her arms as she kept fighting with the white haired that had left me a while ago to search for the newcomer. Mira just smiled, wished us good luck, and closed the door, locking it, since she had a key to do so. I chuckled at her tirade and door banging, attracting her attention. I cleared my throat.
"Um… You take the bed. I'll just sleep in my hammock with Happy on top. You… you can change in the dresser that is at that corner." I signaled at the pile of clothes hanging from a cord. Of, course, to her eyes, it's just dirty rags, for me, it was my way of changing when my friends invaded my room.
She sighed after making a disgusted gesture and headed to the 'rag dresser' as she muttered. I just turned around and lay in my hanging bed to let her be at peace. She had taken what seemed to be a pajama from the many borrowed cloths she had in the bed. Amazingly, Juvia and Mirajane had done a good job at tending to the bed for the guest. Maybe they placed her with me so I could keep a close watch on her. Yeah, right! I was a heavy sleeper! Erza probably was going to end up watching over her. Oh well… might as well get some sleep…
"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
I woke up in an instant by the sound of a female scream besides me. I could feel sweat about to take over in fear of the worst but adrenaline kicking in for the fight, but instead, received a slap that barely hurted me.
"GET OUT! GET OOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUT!"
"Huh…?"
When I looked down, I was greeted with glaring brown huge twin orbs screaming anger in it. My arms were warped to a thin and what was obviously fragile waist, and instantly smirked. Oh, what an amazing moment. Note the sarcasm.
"Lucy, what are you doing in my bed? And how did you manage to fit in this small hammock?"
"I SHOULD ASK YOU THAT!"
"what do you—oh."
Yep, I was in what was supposed to be her bed. I looked to the far end corner and there was Happy, sleeping happily in his blue hammock over my green one. How did I ever managed to get here in the first place? She must think I'm a weirdo. But better to make her think this. Less attached to me the better it is for her departure if she is something. No matter. I grinned at her and chuckled.
"Ah, must've slept walk. No matter, you are pretty comfy. Like a plush!" I decided to pull her tighter to me, as she squirmed in my grasp screaming for help. And that's when my door came crashing.
"I heard screaming, Miss Lucy, are you—AAAAAAAAH!" The scarlet haired mage entered. She took a club out of nowhere and pointed at me. " What the fuck are you doing to the young lady!?"
"E-E-Erza! I can explain!"
"HYAAA!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAH!"
I loosened the blond so I could defend myself. I pushed her out of the bed fast as I knelt on the bed and held the club before getting hit. I screamed when I saw the female knight was about to punch me and I didn't evade it. Damn, I was going to get my ass served by her! I decided then to punch her in the face and took the wooden weapon to hit her in the legs so she could lose balance. Erza took my hand when I was going to send her a punch and kicked me in the chest making me loose a bit of air.
All the while of the continuity of this fight, the other female that had taken sleep in my room stared in amazement. I smirked at myself for being the show- off that I am. Even to people I didn't trust. I stopped as I saw blue cat ears move a bit. I signaled to my red haired friend to stop and shut up, so we wouldn't wake my 'son'. So, in a silent agreement, we all left the room, now with a door to fix in this decrepit place. I looked at Erza after reaching the flight down to have breakfast.
"Erza, what the hell happened back there? Happy could've woken up!"
"I know, and I am sorry for that, but you harassing Miss Lucy is more important than the wellness of the young boy."
"Wha-, How-, Who-, Que-. Nevermind." I just fumed and had my breakfast.
Today surely was going to be a bad day, since I woke up from the wrong side of the bed.
I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sorry for not updating sooner like I was doing (posting every day). But I started classes two weeks ago, and now I took the time (while that storm called Isaac was passing close to my petit island). I took this oprotunity to update my two most faved fanfics so bare with me! Also! When you can, visit my devi account. I got a drawing of Happy and Charle in there. I'm still thinking on either putting panther lily in here as human, but yeah. We shall see. Oh, um, my devi account is CptEaRayosKilgannon (or was it EaRayosKilgannon) Oh, and also! This is story will be based on my playlist of Rise Against. It seems I took this from an old idea I had subconsciously of writing a story involving war and stuff but based on some RA songs. I will give the list on next chapter.
I feel like this chapter was more like a filler. But it was just that I wanted to tell some of the past. The past always help shape the future, ne?
