Chapter 2: We Will Fight
It was just a normal day in Fairy Tail's main hall: lively, full of guild members getting plastered when it was only 2pm, and happy. That was, until Gray forced the doors to the entryway to open and yelled, "The vampire bats are back! And they took Natsu with them!" Gasps echoed throughout the guild hall. "Natsu?!" "Oh no..." "You think he's ok?" "Everyone calm down!" The headmaster of the guild, Makarov, walked towards the commotion, alongside Mira Jane. Everyone calmed down and turned towards their headmaster to hear what he was going to say. "Gramps! The vampire bats are back! This was way too soon for them to come back! What do we do now?" Gray was slightly panicking, that is, if you call "Slightly panicking" pacing back and forth the guild hall at a very quick pace and nearly freezing the hall like an iceberg in Antarctica. Nobody said anything to Gray. They all knew he was really worried about Natsu. Even Cana didn't jump at the oppurtunity to say that Gray's shirt was nonexistent from his body. "Child, calm down. We will find him. Don't worry.", Makarov said. After hearing that, Gray finally calmed down enough to not freeze their guild hall into a popsicle and gave a stiff nod.
In the meantime,Lucy was completely confused. The only thing she knew was that Natsu was kidnapped, but she had no clue as to what these vampire bats were. "Ummm... Vampire bats? What are those?" "That's right. Lucy wasn't around when the war happened" Mira Jane said. "Let us tell you a story from 5 years ago, Lucy." Erza cleared her throat and began:
"5 years ago, vampire bats suddenly came to Fiore, and attacked homeowners everywhere. All of the coroners said that they died of blood loss, and they had bite marks on their necks. When news of this came to light, every citizen in Fiore panicked. Then, the deaths started skyrocketing and many people in every city were killed."
Mira Jane picked up the story from here. "These vampire bats had the appearance of a vampire and wings of a bat that spanned to about 6 feet. From what I read about them they have magic energy just like us. They have their own type of magic called Repel Magic. The Repel Magic lets them repel any damage the sun's rays could do to them, giving them the ability to roam around during the day. This would be their time of day where they would find a person to kill. The females have the ability to transform into human females, and they can deceive the human males by showing they're no harm. Then when the men warmed up to them, the females attacked them. The females did all the dirty work, only leaving the men to watch over their children."
As Mira Jane finished saying that, Elfman mumbled, "But that's not manly though..." Even though it was quietly said, Mira could hear that from a mile away. She turned to Elfman and asked while smiling, "I'm sorry, dear brother, did you say something?" Even though she was smiling, she had a dark aura all over her body, and if her "Dear Brother" said the wrong thing, he would've wished he was dead. "N-no! I was just saying you are manly to do things like that, sis!" "Oh, is that so? Okay then!" Mira smiled, and Elfman got to live another day.
Gray's sweat dropped as he decided to join in the story and picked up after where Erza stopped. "Okaaay then... Moving on...All of Fiore sent requests to every guild, requesting us destroy the vampire bats. Fairy Tail decided to fight off all of the vampire bats. It was war between the humans and the vampire bats. We won the battle, but their children ran away during the battle. Now, 5 years later, the vampire bats are back, matured and looking for revenge. And the first person they want to destroy is the person who destroyed half of their vampire bat population with one fiery strike."
Lucy was still confused about things, but her mind quickly registered the fact that Natsu destroyed half of the vampire bat population with one strike. "N-Natsu?! He really did that?" Lucy jumped at least a foot in the air and her soul left her body for a little while in utter shock. Happy said, "Aye! Natsu was very hyperactive back in the day. Not to mention he could pull all-nighters if he knew that fighting was involved somewhere. Ahh, the good old days..." Lucy came back to the guild hall and yelled to the flying cat, "Don't act like you're a old person, cat!" 'Geez, Natsu. You go a little overboard sometimes, you know?' Lucy thought as she looked at the blue cat who seemed to be beaming with pride knowing his best friend did that.
After awhile, everyone was in deep thought. Then, their headmaster made his decision. "Listen, my children!" The guild looked up to see their headmaster on top of the second floor rail. "I have decided. We will fight against the vampire bats once again and get Natsu back! I would've said Natsu could take care of himself, but this is a whole new situation. They're going to kill Natsu tonight to start with their revenge. I will not allow any of my dear family members to die! Who cares about the rules the magic counsel places on the guilds? If we don't react now, people will die! I won't let the magic counsel get in our way, because we're saving a dear friend, and we're #1!" Makarov pointed his index finger to the sky. "Yeah!" Loud chants were heard throughout the whole guild as they all pointed their index fingers to the sky and people ran around the guild to prepare for battle.
Where Natsu is held prisoner, Mt. Hakobe...
Natsu eyes shot open.'Where am I?' He tried to look around, but couldn't see anything in the pitch black room. That's when he realized he was bound with some strange rope. He tried to tug it, but it wouldn't budge. He tried to release a fireball and burn it off, but nothing came out. He was pretty sure when he was walking with Gray, he still had some magic energy. Then, like lightning, the answer came to him. 'Those bastards! They bound me with magic rope! That's why I can't use any of my magic energy!' Then, Natsu heard a couple of vampire bats talking. He heard "Why can't we just kill him now? He killed our parents, it's about time for him to pay!" "I know how you feel, but he needs to be killed then. That's what Mom and Dad said to do if they died. We have to respect their last wish. That's the least we could do, onii-chan." The other gave a defeated sigh and said, "I know, I know. I'll just wait then. That way I can have lots of fun killing him later." "I knew you'd understand, onii-chan! Now, should we get the preparations ready?" "All right. Let's go, Maria." "Yay! I'm coming, Marcus!"
Natsu's eyes widened as he heard this. 'Holy shit! If I don't get outta here soon, I'm gonna die! I'm too young to die now! I wanna die with Gray by my side, not like this!" Natsu furiously tried anything to get the ropes to come off. After all hope was lost, Natsu sighed defeatedly. Then, he heard a familiar voice inside his head.
'Natsu... Can you hear me?' Natsu instantly brightened up when he heard this voice. It was Gray talking to him telepathically with the spell they used on each other when they started going out with each other. They wanted to use it when they were apart and wanted to talk with each other, but they never had the chance to use it. 'Gray! I can hear you loud and clear!' 'Good... I guess the spell works then.' 'So, what were you going to say, Ice block?' 'The guild is coming to save you, Natsu. We're going to head towards Mt. Hakobe, since that was where the war took place. Do you know if the vampire bats are still where you're at?' 'Yeah, they're getting these 'preparations' done or somethin' like that.' 'Damn... well, do you know where you're at?' 'No... I'm in some sort of cave, but I can't see squat in this place at all!' '…...' 'Gray?' 'Yeah... I'm just gonna have to just go in and find you.' 'Gray... I miss you. Come and find me soon, 'kay?' 'I know that, flame head. I'll try and find you soon. I gotta go now, before Erza punches me. '...Alright.' Before Gray left Natsu, he mentally gave him a hug, knowing that he needed one. Natsu felt the comfort of Gray's arms hug him, and Natsu gave a small smile. 'Gray... I love you so much...' he thought to himself, not knowing if Gray was still there or not.
'I love you too, Natsu.' Gray thought to himself as he slowly opened his eyes to a guild who were waiting for him to get a move on and an Erza that was centimeters from punching Gray's face square in the nose. Gray frantically yelled, "Erza! I'm up, I'm Up! Please don't hurt me!" Gray put his hands up as defense if needed. Erza stopped a centimeter from the bridge of Gray's nose. She got up from the sitting position and said, "Good. It looks like Gray's up. Now we can go." "Gray! Get a move on, before we leave you in the dust!" Happy yelled. Gray's eye slightly twitched. 'Damn cat... he can be so annoying sometimes...' "Yeah, I'm coming..." Gray got up and started walking towards the rest of the guild, still without a shirt. Erza threw a black t-shirt towards Gray. "Erza, what's this for?" "You don't expect to go into Mt. Hakobe and sneak in to find Natsu with half of you body exposed, do you?" Gray looked down and saw that his white polo shirt from this afternoon was gone. "Holy shit! Where the fuck did I put my shirt?!" Gray yelled as he jumped a feet or two into the air and quickly put on the t-shirt. Everybody laughed and turned towards the exit of the guild hall, now that Gray had a shirt on. "This is the time we've waited for, everyone. It's time to finish off the vampire bats and rescue Natsu!" Makarov yelled. "YEAH!" the whole guild yelled as they all walked out of the Fairy Tail guild hall towards Mt. Hakobe, where another battle between the vampire bats and the wizards of Fairy Tail is about to take place.
That's the end of chapter 2! Please review and I hope you guys look forward to chapter 3!
