A Railgun In Fairy Tail, The Diablo Saga, Book 5: Inner Darkness.

Counterattack.

In the deep darkness of the darkest blackness, on a throne made of shadow, within a palace hewn from rough stone, Corruption sat, smiling to herself, as her fellow Diablos stood around random areas of the stone room, contemplating to themselves.

"Of all the Diablos I could have sent out, Ezra is the most rambunctious of course.." Corruption said with a chuckle. "But I never expected she would've used Doppel, Dragon of Duplication! This is indeed a strange turn of events! Especially since Doppel has a Dragon Born Child. This is most interesting indeed."

Diablo Etwatia turned to look at Corruption. "Master, if Ezra manages to defeat Railgun and Fairy Tail, it will be most fortunate. However, I wish to be the one to fight Railgun."

"I know.. patience Etwatia my sweet." said Corruption, flicking a dark aura of darkness off her finger. "The fact that Elohim and Twilight Prankster have not yet made their moves shows us that they have utter confidence that Railgun has the potential to defeat Diablo Ezra. And their opinions should not be taken lightly.."

Corruption licked her lips. "Especially not Twilight Prankster. "Now.. that's one treat I wish to devour personally.. that dimension travelling clown's head will look so fine over my mantelpiece.. "

Outside the hospital that night, two shapes emerged in the parking lot before the entrance.

Pumped Kakine flexed his arm muscles, "Oh yeah! Right! So.. damn.. PUMPED!! My biceps! My triceps! My calfs! No, they aren't calfs anymore! They are bulls!!!"

"My my.." said Civil Gunha, adjusting his neat hair. "Must you act like a rock hard imbecile?"

"Can't help it! I'm just so.. PUMPED!!" Pumped Kakine exclaimed.

Civil Gunha sighed. "Do not falter. We are here to finish off those who survived. So you better not be too busy staring at your muscles when we attack.."

"Oh I know." said Pumped Kakine. "LET'S STICK OUR MUSCLES TO EM!! YEAH! ROCK HARD ABBS!!"

"You're hopeless." said Civil Gunha.

The two dark espers entered the building. But when they went in, they found nobody around.

"Strange." said Civil Gunha as they walked through the empty dark halls. "Why isn't there any staff around? A Hospital is a 24/7 service is it not? Even with Academy City's early curfew enforcement.. "

"Down there." said Pumped Kakine, pointing down the hall.

Death Reach was sitting in an armchair across the hall. Her hands were clasped together casually.

"Ladies.. Gents.. Boys and girls.." said Death Reach in the electronically distorted voice that her mask produced. "Welcome to the show. Tonight.. we have a special game in store for you today.. called.. capture the Esper. You two, shall be our main guests of honor."

"Death Reach!" Civil Gunha exclaimed, a bead of sweat going down his brow. "The Level 5 Hunter!!"

"Indeed." said Death Reach, standing up from her armchair. "Now.. without further ado... let the games begin.."

Death Reach began to walk forward, retractable blades coming from her wrists, glinting in the moonlight that came through the windows.

"You can't beat the both of us!!!" Civil Gunha exclaimed, readying his fist.

"No.." said Death Reach. "Indeed, a two on one is hardly optimal.. but.."

Death Reach slashed her blades around herself, immediately slashing through nearly transparent wires that had been systematically placed around herself. "That's why I felt I should set a few contingencies."
