The sun brightly reflected off the rivers of Magnolia as it sparkled. In its reflection were a raven haired boy, a blond girl and a scarlet haired woman, along with a blue cat that rested on one of their shoulders. A groan escaped the boy as he slipped his hands into his pocket with a minor scowl. "Why do we have to do this again? Can't that idiot clean his own house?"
"Gray, we promised Natsu that we would look after his home while he went on that special S-class quest," the redhead replied in a gentle, but firm tone that shot down any counter argument he had to say.
"Erza's right Gray, besides it can't be that bad... right?" A single sweat drop slid down her cheek at the horrors that awaited the team. They knew Natsu wasn't exactly... clean. Being that he lived with a dragon for years, hunting for his food, living in caves like an animal. Erza is thankful her lessons that she gave Natsu paid off... kind of.
Gray inhaled the sweet summer hair, before exhaling to look elsewhere. "How long is that idiot supposed to be gone for?"
"According to happy, at least a couple weeks," Erza replied, noticing the slayers small hut in the distance.
Lucy held onto her arm with a worried look on her face, hoping that Natsu would come back to them safe. They by no means doubted his strength, he's proven more times than they can count that he is a force to be reckoned with. Zeref, Acnologia, villains in their final battle they thought they were going to lose. But Natsu never gave up. He never caved in and in the end he came out the victor of the war.
Happy, patted her arm with his paw. "Don't worry about him, I'm sure he's kicking whoevers butt right now!"
They all couldn't help but smile at the felines enthusiasm, and faith he had in his foster father. As much as they wanted to come with him, the request strangely asked for Natsu only. All they could do is wish him luck, and hope their teammate comes back in one piece.
"We're here," Erza announced before a golden glow took her body. When it vanished she was in black short shorts, a black tank top to match it with her scarlet hair tied in a tight pony tail. "Let's get to work," her hand reached for the door and opened it, before nearly squealing as a pack of rats scattered out of the home.
Lucy and Gray couldn't help but burst out laughing at Erza's girlish scream. Immediately they were silenced by a deadly red aura that emitted off of the knight. "What's so funny?"
"N-nothing mam!" They exclaimed in unison, sweating bullets under her deadly glare.
"That's what I thought," her back turned back to the home before stepping in. Her team mates let out breathes they didn't even know they were holding before following her.
A couple of hours had went by as Team Natsu separated to clean up separate parts of the house. Lucy nearly vomited when she opened his fridge. The smell of rotten fish filled her lungs to capacity. Gray killed a nest of cockraches in Natsu's bedroom, while Erza tidied and cleaned up the living room. She made a mental note to beat the snot out of the slayer for leaving his home in this mess.
Happy buzzed by the redhead with a fly swatter, chasing down a fairly decent sized insect. "Get back here you bug!" he raised the swatter, attempting to hit it to no avail. Before he could react, he rammed into a dresser that fell to the floor, causing everyone to stop what they were doing and rush to the disturbance.
"Happy! What did you do?!" Erza's voice boomed off the wooden walls in a righteous fury. "We're supposed to be cleaning this place, not destroying it!"
Happy froze under the scarlet knight's glare. "S-sorry! I was trying to kill the bug!"
"Guys wait!" Lucy butted in between the two, before pointing to where the dresser once stood. A wooden door was present.
"I don't remember that room being there," Happy cocked his head in curiosity.
Erza's curiosity got the best of her as she stepped forward the grab the doors handle. When she opened it, everyone's eyes widened in pure shock. A small set of stairs leading further down into the room were present. Without hesitation the team made their way down, curious of what they would find. When their feet hit the bottom, they all froze with eyes wide as saucers. In this small compact room were instruments of many kinds lining the walls. A lacrima was in the middle, lighting the room as there were a set of headphones, hanging over a microphone.
"What the hell?" Gray's eyes glanced over the room, before he noticed a couple pairs of boxes in the corner. He walked over and opened one of them, his eyes growing wide in shock. "No way..."
"What did you find?" Erza asked, leaning over him with wide eyes. "Are those?"
"Music CDs with Natsu's name on them... yeah," his hand reached in to grab a disk to study it from front to back. The song title on the disk was called Saviors Of The World. "No way that idiot made these, this has to be some trick."
"Happy are you positive you knew nothing about this?" The redhead turned to Happy with a raised brow.
Happy frowned with a shake of his head. "No, he never told me about this room at all. I had no clue this even existed."
"I don't know about you guys, but I'm curious on what he sounds like," Lucy nodded her head as did the others.
Noticing a radio that was on a table, Gray took the disk in his hands walking over to pop it in, before pressing play. The sounds of a keyboard, before an electric guitar riff went off, stunning the team, before Natsu's voice was heard.
Streets filled with blood, black and red
Dreams and hearts that once knew love are cold and dead
Breathing rust, it's come to this
We burnt to dust, an apocalypse
But we could live again if we can find ourselves
We are the saviors of the world
And I will not be ruled
We are kings and conquerors
And I won't bow to you
They will not control us anymore
We will not conform, no, anymore
We are the saviors, the saviors
The saviors of the world
"Holy shit..." Gray muttered at a loss for words. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. Natsu's voice was powerful, but overall instead of a dying animal that he was hoping to hear wasn't the case.
"Natsu is incredible!" Lucy beamed with stars In her eyes.
"Aye sir!"
'Natsu... why.. how could you hide this from us? ' Erza thought, listening intently to the music. She, like Gray was at a loss for words. All this time they spent together, and not once did they know about this hidden talent from Natsu. Before much more thoughts could be processed Natsu's voice come back to life.
Cities will burn, the end is come
Paradise is lost, we wonder what we've done
Riches rust
The iron fist crashes down on the powerless
But hope could live again if we can find ourselves
We are the saviors of the world
And I will not be ruled
We are kings and conquerors
And I won't bow to you
They will not control us anymore
We will not conform, no, anymore
We are the saviors, the saviors
The saviors of the world
We are the saviors of the world
And I will not be ruled
We are kings and conquerors
And I won't bow to you
They will not control us anymore
We will not conform, no, anymore
We are the saviors, the saviors
The saviors of the world
The song came to a close, leaving stunned silence in it's wake. Nobody could even say a word, staring at the radio with shocked wide eyes. "We have to show the guild, they have to see this," Gray's voice finally broke in as he walked over, grabbing one of the boxes.
"Are we sure this is a good idea?" Lucy frowned slightly, rubbing her arm. "This is probably something Natsu didn't want anyone to know, we're basically prying into his privacy as it is."
Erza walked over to grab the other box, completely ignoring the blonds concern. "For what we just cleaned, he owes us this. But also," she turned her head slightly with a small blush. "I want to hear more of his music."
Lucy sweat dropped at her response, letting a sigh escape her lips. "No good will come from this."
With haste in their steps, leaving the room behind they set their eyes back to the guild, knowing they were all in for a long day.
Well, that's it for the first chapter. I do hope you enjoyed it. I know these kinda fics don't get a lot of love, and more hate than anything. But I find them fun, and interactive with the audience that you write it for. As you could see from Erza's one comment yes Natza will be present in this fic. I know a lot of these fics just take the harem route because so many women are touched by his music. But I'm not much into harem fics. Anyway, I'll see you all in the next one! Later :)
