Sparks Fly - Laxus Dreyar

3. Acnologia

A while had passed, and Aria, Lisanna, and the Rajinshu minus Laxus were all at the camp with the others when suddenly there was a loud rumbling sound.

"Nani? What was that?" Laxus had left to do something. While Freed watched, Bixlow, Evergreen, and Lisanna questioned Aria about Laxus.

"Ignore it. What do you think about Laxus?"

"He seems pretty cool, kinda fun, but I don't really know him well enough to judge him, really."

"At first glance," Evergreen chimed in, questioning Aria, "do you find him attractive?"

"I mean, yeah...w-why are you asking?" Aria sat back and changed how she was sitting.

"No reason," Bixlow said.

"You and him would make an attractive couple," Lisanna says.

"Why him, though? I've only just met him today."

"Not only would you be cute together, but-" Evergreen was interrupted by the same noise. A roar? The wind?

"Okay, I can't ignore this noise anymore. You can pester me about useless things later," Aria said.

"It's probably the worms in Lucy's stomach, or something," Gajeel said.

"You mean the Lucy here makes such a loud sound?!" Oh, poor gullible Lisanna.

"Hey, Gajeel, keep your insensitive remarks to yourself," Levy said.

"Geehee," Gajeel laughed his strange...whatever it was that Aria actually found strangely amusing.

"Looks like I'll have to prepare lots of food," Mirajane said.

"Hey, I was just kidding..." Gajeel sweat dropped.

A small, "Geehee," could be heard from Aria

Moments later, Aria's fun was interrupted by Evergreen and Elfman when she whacked him over the head with...a large stick? That could also be considered a log?

"What the hell do you think you're doing, bitch?"

"Man this, man that. You sure get on my nerves," Evergreen growled, continuously whacking him as she spoke.

"You guys might think Laxus and I are cute together, for whatever reason, but these two are my otp," Aria pointed at Elfman and Ever.

"What's gotten into you?!"

"Everything!"

"You were way more likable when you were caught in that tower!"

"Yesss," Aria laughed, but then she paused as there was another strange rumbling sound, and she noticed Wendy's water was feeling the vibrations, too.

And it was calm for a second after that, and Aria couldn't help but think the calm before the storm...and she was right. Seconds later, there was an intense roaring noise.

"The roar of a dragon," Wendy said, and Aria looked at her.

"A dragon?!" Lisanna and Aria yelled out at the same time.

"You mean it's not thunder," Lily asked.

Again, the dragon roared.

"Is everyone okay?!" Lucy, Cana, Gildarts, and Natsu and Happy were all racing towards them.

"That was such a god-awful sound," Happy said.

Gildarts stopped and clutched at his old wounds, and said, "My old wounds are starting to hurt. There's no mistake about it...It's him... He's coming...!"
