While Juvia was snuggling up to a blushing Gray. Lucy felt a hand on her shoulder that made her shriek out loud, whipping around to see who touched her. It was Loke, or Leo. Leader of the celestial spirits. He gave a big grin, pushing up his glasses. "Sorry to startle you beautiful, but I heard you guys listening to Natsu's music. Can't believe the guy can sing to begin with."
"Loke! Please don't do that again, I damn near peed myself!" Lucy squeaked, punching the Lion's shoulder with a small blush.
Loke chuckled softly, "won't happen again."
"I highly doubt that!"
Loke walked over to the box to glance over the CDs. "Mind if I join in on the fun Erza?" He asked with a smile.
Erza returned his smile in kind, nodding her head. "You're apart of the guild after all, so I don't see why not."
The spirit grinned, before looking through the CDs. Many titles passed by, but not one caught his eye. Until he quirked a brow at one, reaching in and grabbing it. He glanced over it with a curious smile. The title was named Lions. He placed the disk in and pressed play.
A soft tune covered the whole guild's ears before Natsu's voice came to life in a gentleness they all embraced.
Today we live, today we breathe
Today we know that we are strong when we are weak
Today we trust, we overcome
Take every chain that kept us slaves and throw em' off
We're not waiting for permission
We defy our inhibition
Like our middle name is "fearless"
Unafraid
"He inspires us even when he's not here," Erza smiled softly, crossing her arms over her breast plate, closing her eyes at the soothing melody of the song.
"I whole heartedly agree," Makarov nodded his head with a small grin.
If we're gonna fly, we fly like eagles
Arms out wide
If we're gonna fear, we fear no evil
We will rise
By Your power, we will go
By Your spirit, we are bold
If we're gonna stand, we stand as giants
If we're gonna walk, we walk as lions
We walk as lions
Loke grinned brightly, "I already like this song."
Everyone agreed, continuing to listen to the song, no longer feeling the need to make their input on it.
Today is ours, it's always been
Before we face the fight
We know who's gonna win
We live by faith and not by sight
We don't want safe and quiet
We don't wanna run and hide
This is not an intermission
It's our time, not gonna miss it
You've already called us fearless
Unafraid
If we're gonna fly, we fly like eagles
Arms out wide
If we're gonna fear, we fear no evil
We will rise
By Your power, we will go
By Your spirit, we are bold
If we're gonna stand, we stand as giants
If we're gonna walk, we walk as lions
We walk as lions
Oh, everywhere we go
The battle has been won
We know You've gone before us
So, we're taking hold of faith
With every step we take
We know we'll rise victorious
If we're gonna fly, we fly like eagles
Arms out wide
If we're gonna fear, we fear no evil
We will rise
By Your power, we will go
By Your spirit, we are bold
If we're gonna stand, we stand as giants
If we're gonna walk, we walk as lions
We walk as lions
"That song has me inspired, so... MANLY!" Elfman roared to the top of his lungs as his body immediately turned into stone.
"I warned you, you big brute!" Elfman huffed, crossing her legs as her arms resting on her chest.
Mira sweat dropped at that with a nervous giggle. "You're going to unfreeze him eventually... right?"
"Honestly if that shuts up the manly talk I'm all for it," Gray shrugged his shoulders with a smirk. "Natsu got it in his head too much that he has to be manly."
Lisanna pouted softly, "poor big brother Elf."
Laxus used his magic to teleport next to the box in a bolt of lightning with a smirk. "Mind if I choose flame breathers next song?" He asked the knight as this became accustomed at this point. Even if he could probably beat Erza, he wasn't gonna bet his life on an angry Erza scarlet.
"Of course, Laxus. You guys really gotta stop asking me," she giggled softly to herself. "I just don't want you idiots to fight over who goes that's all."
The lightning dragon slayer dug his hand out of his fur coat to search through the disks. Many of them had interesting titles, but nothing that sounded perfect to him. "Oh, what's this?" He grabbed a hold of the disk to look at the title. Eye Of The Storm. "It's like he practically wrote it for me, let's see what it's like," he placed the disk inside and pressed play.
whistling could be heard, but a small instrumental drums joining the mix with the sound of thunder in the backround. Natsu's voice immediately came to life.
I am the eye of the storm
Inside I am silent and strong
Just waiting for the right right moment to strike
Coiled like a cobra
I (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I (I) am the eye of the storm
"Hell yeah Natsu!" Laxus grinned ear to ear, tapping his foot on the floor as he bobbed his head. "This kid has taste that I can get behind."
"I mean when you think about it this could be to Natsu himself. To his enemies that he's fought that he's the eye of the storm that they dare not face," Levy chimed in with a smile.
Many couldn't help but agree to that. They continued to listen to the song with bright smiles, glad another sad song hadn't been played yet.
Wind wind howling in my face
Tearing up the asphalt
I'ma getting up in the place
Run, run no where left to hide
I must take a stand now
Find the strength inside
Welcome to the vortex
Absolute ground zero of my heart
Pinnacle of the apex
Nothing's gonna tear my soul apart
I am the eye of the storm
Inside I am silent and strong
Just waiting for the right right moment to strike
Coiled like a cobra coming to life
I (I) am the eye of the storm
Inside (I) I am silent and strong
Just waitin' for the moment
Never see me comin'
I (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I (I) am the eye of the storm
I (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I (I) am the eye of the storm
Some members couldn't help but move their hips, tap their feet on the floor to the beat. Laxus was throughly enjoying it with a wide grin, still bobbing his head. 'I wonder if he'd let me borrow this CD for training. This would get me pumped up for sure.'
"This kid's talent seriously knows no bounds," Macao said with a smile, noticing his son was enthralled by Natsu's music.
"NATSU IS SO AWESOME!" Romeo cheered, throwing his hands up in the air.
Pain, pain trying to make me break
But, I'm like a fortress
Nothing can penetrate
When it gets hard, I don't even flinch
Fear is not a factor
(I would give 'em an inch)
Welcome to the vortex
Absolute ground zero of my heart
Pinnacle the apex
Never gonna tear my soul apart
I am the eye of the storm
Inside I am silent and strong
Just waiting for the right right moment to strike
Coiled like a cobra coming to life
I (I) am the eye of the storm
Inside (I) I am silent and strong
Just waiting for the moment
Never see me comin'
I (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I (I) am the eye of the storm
Storm clouds storming
This is your final warning (woah, ah)
I (I) am the eye of the storm
Inside (I) I am silent and strong
Just waiting for the right right moment to strike
Coiled like a cobra coming to life
I (I) am the eye of the storm
Inside (I) I am silent and strong
Just waiting for the moment
Never see me comin'
I am waiting for the moment
Never see me comin'
(Oh-)
I'm just waiting for the moment
Never see me comin'
"How long have we even been listening to these songs?" Lucy questioned, glancing outside to see the sun setting slightly outside.
"Honestly, who cares. I'm enjoying this time with all of you! It's been so long since everyone has been in the same room together. Feels like the old days again," Mira sighed softly at the nostalgic thoughts that circled her mind.
Everyone smiled at that comment, nodding their heads. Yes they were a guild that took jobs, but more importantly they were a family.
Suddenly the doors of the guild opened up as a taller man covered in a black cloak walked in. An orange beard covered his face, long flowing hair that reached his shoulders. "Got room for one more in this party?" The middle aged man grinned.
"D-DAD?!"
"GUILDHARTS?!"
Haha! It's time Guildharts joins in on the fun. He will actually play an important role when Natsu returns from his "S Class quest". Notice the quotations? I think I'll let y'all figure that one out. Anyway, I was listening to music and this came on for Eye Of The Storm. I thought it would be perfect for Laxus. I'm so happy you guys are enjoying this fic, it's been really fun. I hope we can continue it. Anyway, I'll see you guys in the next one. Later :)
