A Railgun In Fairy Tail, The Diablo Saga: Book 2, Time.

They Call Her Corruption

Twilight Prankster: "The above video is my attempt to apologize to all the fans for the lack of updates in RIFT lately... so.. just going to say it.. I am deeply sorry (What's really going on in his Prankster's head: I want to find all the puppies in the world and pin them to my face to freak Obama out.. I'll call it, the Obamanation of Nature!!)"

If Mikoto had to put a word to how painful her night was, she really wouldn't have had anything to say.. She had gathered too many injuries throughout the course of her life, that she was beginning to accept that pain was probably just a regular part of her life.

She would wake up for brief seconds before falling back into a painful sleep. All she knew, was that she was in some sort of cave.. and practically everybody else around her who was actually awake was severely injured. She had briefly glanced Erza walking around wearing bandages all over her torso, arms, and legs, wearing her skirt, while checking on her badly damaged armor.

At times Mikoto would get large flashes of memory from her time as a Vasto Lorde.. the immense power she had felt.. the extreme feral anger.. the vicious cry to destroy....

When Mikoto finally awoke for good, she found Wendy sitting next to her. Wendy was covered in bandages as well, looking tired out of her mind as she held a hand to Mikoto's own heavily bandaged chest.

"Thank goodness.." Wendy murmured, panting heavily as her healing magic died down. "You were on the edge of death 4 times in the past half hour.

"Wendy.. you look close to death yourself.." Mikoto muttered.

"I-I'm fine.. you should see Nicole.." said Wendy, nodding towards her left.

They were all in a large desolate looking cave. Coluber was coiled in the center of the cave, snoozing, his scales glowing with green light.. Mikoto recognized that as Coluber's temporary hibernation state, which he used to heal his wounds at high speed rates.

Much to Mikoto's horror, she saw many of her friends lying on mats, all covered in bloodied bandages and barely alive.

Ichigo looked like one of the worst, his two shattered Zangetsus were lying on a cloth nearby, while a heavily bandaged Mugino sat next to him.. putting a wet cloth on his forehead.

The only ones still conscious and yet still heavily injured nonetheless, was Natsu, Nicole, Accelerator, Wendy, Erza, Shizuri, and Urahara, who was busy organizing plenty of bottles that must have held medicine of his own invention.. Urahara wasn't as heavily bandaged, only bearing a bloodied cloth wrapped around his forehead..

Nicole looked almost as bad as Mikoto, her upper now shirtless torso covered in bandages all the way up to just below her vertebrae.

Nicole nodded at Mikoto. "Good to see you're okay at least..."

Mikoto could feel her heart tearing itself apart as she watched Nicole put a wet cloth on a barely breathing Mikaris's forehead.

"I led us into a death trap.." Mikoto murmured. "I-I'm the worst Guild Master ever..."

"It wasn't your fault.. it wasn't anybody's fault.." said Urahara. "In any case, if it's anybody's fault it's mine.. I should have predicted that Diablo's mastery of the lance might have increased rapidly since he got it... and that his servants of course were comprised of the most famously powerful Numensapiens his army ever had... I suspected that they had all perished.. but apparently all survived.. something else I should have predicted when Egnim Colossus arrived on Earth.

"Mmmmmfff! MMMMFFF MMFFFFF!!!" Natsu's body was covered in so many bandages, that his mouth was covered as well.

"Er..." Mikoto said. "Uh... sure?"
