Play of Disaster Part 2:
It's been a week and Happy has been flying all over dropping flyers to advertise the play for anyone who would come. Erza has been practicing her lines for the character named Prince Fredrick along with Natsu and Grey building some decent props along with practicing their part too. Lucy even summoned her celestial spirit Cancer to do some hair touch ups for everyone. Meanwhile Alec is lying down in the audience section staring at the ceiling.
"Excuse me, I don't want to interrupt but your fans are here." The man says, "We have fans?" Team Natsu says in unison. Alec sits up upon hearing this and gets to his feet. "Well, you can't keep them waiting now can you." Alec says as they all make their way out of the theater, outside they see some familiar faces.
The guild masters of Blue Pegasus, Quatro Cerberus and Fairy Tail. Along with Mirajane, two former Phantom Lord members and a couple of human disguised demons and the pirate captain from Galuna island. Yajima, a former member of the Fairy Tail guild, now a council member, and finally a identity thief with a shady background turned good. "Whoa, what are all you doing here!" Lucy says in shock.
"We wouldn't miss your debut! Now break a leg!" Mira encourages, "It's been a while since I've seen a play." Makarov comments. "I really appreciate the invite, Mocky." Yajima says. "Long time no see how you doin sweetie?" Master Bob asks. " I tagged along to heckle you guys." Master Goldmine says with a smirk.
"It's been a while, fake Salamander. Didn't expect to see you again." Lucy says with a sweat drop. "So what you been up to Ogra?" Natsu asks with a smile, " that would be Bora" Bora corrects. "After getting a harsh lesson from your blazing fists, I decided to change my ways and give up the life of model Scout." Lucy then thinks back to when she first met the man and how he used a love spell on the girls around him and on the boat used a sleep spell both of which are banned.
"You don't seriously think anyone's buying that are you?" Lucy blandly asks. Bora looks at Lucy in confusion as he says, "Why else would I recruit young ladies?"
"Well because you…" Lucy's face flushes from embarrassment and Happy jumps up from the ground in his own Yellow track suit and green shirt saying, "She thought you were doing dirty things with 'em!"
"I'll be out there a-rootin for ya me beauty!" The pirate says to Erza. "Thank you for coming all this way." She says as she slams the pirate's head into her armored chest plate, "Ah that hurt." The pirate mumbles.
"How's Galuna treating you?" Grey asks the female disguised demon. "It's great. I came to say thanks again for saving our village." The girl says. "Me too!" The chief says. "Excuse me, you're from Phantom Lord right?" Lucy questions the last two remaining visitors. "Yeah but Natsu really impressed us when he beat up Gajeel. I honestly thought that the dragon over there was the only threat to him but he proved us wrong." The man said. "So we came to see the show and give you this." The girl says as she holds out a raw piece of meat, probably steak.
Natsu looks at the meat with wide eyes as he starts to drool. "You do realize it's still raw, right." Lucy comments. "We didn't bring it for you, it's for the little red doggy." The girl says, blushing with embarrassment. "Uppa!" Happy cheers. "But he's a blue cat." Lucy says.
"So when are you and your friends gonna destroy the moon for us like ya promised?" The chief says now transformed into his demon form. "Haven't we been over this like a million times chief." Lucy says. " He's a senile old demon, just let it go Lucy." Alec says placing his hand on her shoulder. The visitors all shout, "Break a leg!"
"Thanks we will!" Natsu, Grey and Erza shout back as they make they're way up the stairs. "I'm beat and the curtain hasn't even gone up yet…" Lucy says crawling up the stairs.
…
The theater is full of excitement you could say, the audience are a buzz and so are the Fairy Tail members acting in this play. There's just one small problem, this is a play being performed by Fairy Tails' most destructive team. Alec knows this better than anyone seeing he fills out so much paperwork, even if Makarov does his best it's too much and most of them are about Team Natsu doing something destructive or being a menace to society.
So Alec decides to hang out on the side behind stage to make sure nothing goes wrong. But before he knows it the curtain begins to rise and Lucy's spirit Lyra is playing the harp while singing on the right side of the stage. A few seconds go by as a spotlight shines on Erza in her outfit looking so confident but as she was about to speak… Well she got stage fright.
"Don't tell me…" Alec says, pinching the bridge of his nose. "This isn't good." Grey points out, "She's totally freezing up." Lucy comments. "Man she's got one serious case of stage fright." Natsu adds. Erza's legs begin to tremble seeing all the faces in the crowd.
"Hear ye Hear oh, my name… i'm a prince. I came to save the princess!" Erza says shakily. Some muttering begins to be heard from within the crowd. "And I wield the power of, the power of, power of-", " oh no she skipped way ahead! That lines from a completely different scene!" Lucy points out. "Erza's so nervous I don't think she's breathing." Happy adds.
"I wheeled the power cause I have 10 swords!" Erza stuttered as she then summons 7 swords, a plunger and 2 brooms and launches them into the audience. "She's falling apart out there guys!" Happy whispers, "What should we do?" Grey questions. "Ever heard of improv? It's where you improvise your scenes. You might be able to save this show that way. After all the show is already ruined now it can't get any worse than this so just go out there and have fun but please don't destroy anything." Alec says. "Then when do I get to go on stage?" Natsu questions. "Shut your trap." Lucy commands as both her Natsu and Grey rush to tie Lucy up in ropes and slowly lower her down to the stage as a damsel in distress.
"Oh my beloved Prince Frederick, please save me! I'm being held in the terrible clutches of that fiendish brute Seinhart." Lucy says. " I am the great Julius, if you want to save the princess then you will have to cross blades with me." Grey says, off to the side behind stage Alec is banging his head against a wall, "They are even more terrible at improv than Erza's acting. At least she could remember her lines even if she jumped ahead." Back on the stage Erza begins to shake even more as she says, "I challenge you… to a… duel." Her face begins to turn blue as she turns to face Grey.
"Whoa, she's completely lost it!" Grey sweat drops.
"Hey I got an idea." Lucy whispers as she conveniently hold one of her silver keys and whispers 'Open, Gate of the clock constellation: Horologium' the sound of a doorbell goes off as a puff of smoke engulfs the entire stage. As it clears Erza is sitting inside Horologium, "We will fight, duel! The prince says timidly." Horologium says and the entire crowd sweat drops not understanding what is going on.
"What are you doing?" Grey asks, " the show is dead in the water if brave Prince Frederick passes out. Before he duels against the villain." Lucy mutters, she then puts on a smile and says, "How good of you to come, great clock. The brave prince is in urgent need of a moment's rest."
All of a sudden Erza gets her second wind and is completely fine and says, "Finally cut my breath. I'm back." She then steps out of Horologium holding up her sword. Grey then activates his ice magic and says, "Meet your doom, my sword of ice."
"Uh, very well. I will attack you with… with my 10 swords!" Erza stuttered as she activated her magic, summoning exactly 10 swords sending them straight into the floor at Grey's feet. "Ahhh, I'm outta here!" Grey shouts as he scrambles off backstage. "That is so weak!" A girl from the audience shouted. "Prince Frederick, Thank you for saving me." Lucy says no longer tied up.
Erza gets down on one knee extending a hand towards Lucy and says, "Please, Lady Yanderica, let's get married and have many children, like 33." Erza says all composed. " you're jumping the gun don't you think!" A man from the crowd shouts. Alec is on the ground laughing hard. "I can't, I just can't… this is too much." Alec wheezes. "Can I go on stage now?" Natsu whines. "Sure, sure whatever I'm not the one in the play anyway… but don't embarrass me or your father, you know how we act so you have a reference to go off of." Alec says and Natsu nods as he runs off.
Grey walks back onto the stage saying, "The calm before the storm shall endeth noweth!" Grey then stops mid way and says, "Death awaits thou! Now come forth and char him, my dragon!" A small puff of smoke happens as Horologium disappears and the lights dim and the props move out of the way of Natsu inside of a dragon costume breathing fire with Happy flying him around.
"I'm a powerful dragon, I will destroy you all!" Natsu says menacingly. "Let's vanquish the beast." Grey says. "Yes we shall slay it." Erza says in agreement. "I can take care of the dragon you two get to safety." Lucy declares.
"Thanks, we owe you one!" Erza says "Later." Grey and Erza then run off the stage leaving Lucy alone with a flying dragon Natsu and Happy. "So heavy." Happy says but he accidentally lets go of the dragon costume with Natsu inside having it fall towards Lucy.
"Well, I saw this coming." Alec says as the dragon costume crashes into the stage breaking the floor. "Ahh, my dress is on Fire! Grey help me!" Lucy yells running towards Grey. Grey is about to fire off a spell when Erza jumps towards Lucy and cuts her Dress to pieces. "She cut my dress!" Lucy shouts in horror, them crowd begins to cheer especially the men with hearts in their eyes. Erza covers Lucy with her costume's green cape and says, "Princess do you now feel all right?", "How do you end up getting the lead role in this play?" Lucy questions.
"That hurt." Natsu says with tears forming in the corner of his eyes, in frustration he then starts breathing fire once more. "Geeze, would ya cut it out, Natsu?" Grey says just then Taurus one of Lucy's spirits that happens to be a bull with a giant battle ax on his back emerged from beneath the floor breaking it in the process. "Moo, the princess's hot body totally mooves me!" The men in the crowd cheers in agreement.
"Who said you could just show up and embarrass me?" Lucy complains to the bull. With a smirk Taurus says, "Sorry I thought you were in danger. I promised I'd always protect you, Miss Lucy, but I'll vamoose." Taurus then vanishes as Lucy cries saying, "My spirits are crazy!"
Erza is struggling to hold her composure but she can no longer hold herself back seeing Natsu and Grey fighting and says, "I have no choice, punishment awaits all of you scoundrels!" She then joins the fight and the theater begins to collapse.
"I knew this would happen… but did anyone listen no they didn't. Now they're destroying the theater." Alec says crossing his arms, he sighs and gets to his feet. "I guess I should do something before they do too much damage." 'Creation Magic: Time Out'. Erza, Grey and Natsu all freeze in place as another spell is casted, 'Creation Magic: Repair'. The theater that was once on the verge of collapse then begins to glow in a shimmer of gold as fallen pieces fly back to their original spot and seal back into place like nothing happened.
The audience is in awe at the effects that they figured it was apart of the show. "Who's the baddie this time." A man shouted from the crowd. "You have got to be kidding me, I'm not going out there." The owner and client of the job comes over and says, "Please oh please, just a small appearance and some lines. They won't be satisfied after that magic you just used." Alec growled at the man and they quickly retreated behind a nearby box.
"You're lucky, keep that in mind brat." Alec says glaring at the man. He then transforms himself into an old man with a stuble facial hair wearing a black suit, white gloves and a tie. Alec then clears his throat and looks to the Fairy Tail group on stage and with a loud voice says, "Humans… Dragon… has your species learned nothing throughout their pitiful existence. Life in this world has not progressed to peace and prosperity, instead it has chosen war, kidnapping and summoning beings to do their bidding, only to find it was a mistake in the end. It appears I'll have to erase this world and build it from scratch once more." Alec appears in the middle of the stage.
Alec then side glances to the audience "My advice to you, the spectators who have watched this world from an outside perspective. Don't go by the script of everyday life, once in a while go out and try something new. Learn and grow from those experiences, you only have so much time in this world… so cherish every moment you have, you'll regret it otherwise." Alec raises his right hand into the air and whispers, 'Creation Magic: Light'
A golden light engulfs the entire room blinding everyone and when the light fades, Alec and all of team Natsu are nowhere to be seen, the crowd begins to roar in applause. Meanwhile backstage Team Natsu are no longer frozen in time and are all on their knees in front of Alec and the client apologizing for nearly destroying the theater.
