A Railgun in Fairy Tail Book 3: Bridge Between Worlds

Prologue

Magnolia Town. A beautifull town that dwelled on the coast. It was famous for many things. It's food, it's people, it's wonderous magic, and not to mention it was also home to Fiore's number one guild Fairy Tail. But the current greatest attraction of this town was none other then the strange Rainbow Gateway that sat within the middle of the town's square.

At the moment, there was a certain strange somebody who was looking at the large glowing rainbow colored doorway with awe in her green eyes.

It was a pink cat with cute curly tuft on her head. She wore a neat blue dress and carried a pack that was slightly too large for her. This exceed's name was Elli, and she was a treasure hunter. Any wonder she wanted to see....any strange occurence...and she would hurry as fast as her wings could take her and find that wonder, whether for glory, or just to watch the beauty of it...she was there.

Currently, the number one wonder on her list was to pass through the gate and see the supposed legendary city of science....also known as Academy City.

"Okay..." said Elli breathing in and out. "You can do this......You walked straight into the unknown before........this isn't going to be a problem at all.....just take a step forward and-"

Before Elli could step through the gate, a couple hundred tourists crowded through, causing Elli to trip and fall flat on her face. Elli sat there for a moment....then tears welled up in her eyes as she began to cry.

Despite the usual adventurous persona Elli had always tried to put on, in reality she was also quite a crybaby....in fact, she had to have set the largest records for adventurers who have cried the most during their hunt for the unknown.

"I knew it!" sobbed Elli. "I just can't go through with it! I'm a failure....."

Elli took off her pack, reached into it, and pulled out a poster. It was a poster advertising the Fairy Tail guild. On it was a picture of Fairy Tail's supposed strongest Dragon Slayer, and Academy City's third strongest esper Mikoto Misaka. Elli was a huge fan of the Railgun....everytime she started to cry on an adventure, she would pull out the poster and ask herself.......what would Mikoto Misaka do?

"I wish I was like you..." said Elli. "You always are so brave.....and you're never afraid to take any challenge......"

Then suddenly, a frighteningly wonderful possibillity occured to the little pink cat. She was in Magnolia Town.....the Fairy Tail Guild Hall was here.......which meant she could probably......

"Miss Misaka might be there......" said Elli breathing a little quicker "I might...actually meet.......oh my...I think I'm going to faint!"

Elli shook her head quickly. "No! now's the time to be brave! I'm going right over to that guild hall, and I am going to finally meet the Railgun herself! Then maybe I'll be able to go to Academy City and find the legendary treasure!!"

Elli puffed up her chest in an attempt at confidence. "Alright, no dillydallying, I'm coming to meet you Railgun!! You just wait! you'll be totally impressed by how adventuruos and awesome I-" Elli suddenly tripped onto her face again.

Tears welled up in Elli's eyes again as she began to cry once more. "N-no! sniffle...I'm not going to.....sob sniffle....give up now!"

Elli put placed the poster neatly back in pack. She then shouldered her pack, activated her wings, and flew into the air, looking for the guildhall which she so desperately wanted to see.

Gensei Kihara walked through the lab full of circuits and computer screens with the calm look that he usually wore on his face. Though he may have looked like a pleasent old man in a lab coat at first, in reality he was insanely twisted on the inside....prefering to take the most unsavory and brutal methods to finish his experiments.

One of these experiments had been the level 6 shift attempt..the attempt to create a level 6 esper. The first attempt at this experiment had been the Radio Noise project, the second had been the loading of a virus into the mind of the Railgun. However, both attempts had failed on account of a boy named Touma Kamijou....an extreme annoyance in Gensei's opinion.

But Gensei had not given up on the attempts to create 'one who would reach heaven'. Even the new discovery of a paralell world that was supposedly filled with magic could distract him from the possibility of creating a Level 6 esper. And now.....he finally had that third chance...that rare oppertunity to begin an experiment anew.

"Are we ready?" Gensei asked one of the scientists who was typing away at an observational terminal.

"Yes." said the scientist. "We've got cameras set up all along the different areas for the Grand Magic Games.....we'll be able to get a nice view at all the competitors."

Gensei nodded. "Good...knowing her, she would definitely want to participate in the competition..... Has our contact reported in yet?"

Suddenly there was a great burst of colorful smoke and confetti, and a strange looking masked harlequinn appeared in the room.

"Your contact is right here!!" shouted Night Reveler jubiantly. "How did ya like my entrance!? I was thinking of bringing dolphins, but then I figured it would make the confetti look a little too tacky..!"

"A complete goofball as always." grumbled one of the other scientists who was currently making notes on her clipboard. "Can't he ever take anything seriously?"

Night Reveler heard her. "Well I can definitely tell you one thing I always take seriously.......MY JOKES!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Joke within a joke!! Knee slapper!!!"

All the other scientists groaned. Some of them wondered out loud how long this alliance with the strange organization called Hydra Head was going to last....others wondered what kind of sick inhuman features lay beneath the crazy clown's mask.

"So what news?" Asked Gensei, still wearing his usual smiling face that made him seem like a harmless old man.

"Everything is settled like you asked." said Night Reveler. "Though Black Whisper and Hades request that you send an advance on our deal.....if you're up to it..."

"Hmpf..." said Gensei. "I can't see why they couldn't be a little more patient."

"It's just to show a gesture of good will." said Night Reveler doing a little goofy dance on the spot as he spoke. "Unless you wish for Aqualas and Diablo Etwatia to make a visit......"

Gensei's expression suddenly changed to that of cold fear....and expression that rarely ever crossed the old man's face. "D-Diablo? No.....I would even take Aqualas over that.....abomination!"

"Then you would do well to send that advance!" said Night Reveler cheerfully. "Or else..."

Night Reveler made a slitting motion across his neck, and his head jumped into the air and landed onto his outstretched palm.

"Get the picture?"

Gensei nodded slightly.

"Good!" said Night Reveler putting his head back on his neck as if he were screwing back on a jar lid. "Then I say...Good day to you sir!!"

Night Reveler dissapeared in another burst of smoke and confetti.

"Hmpf..." said Gensei "Hydra Head and Grimoire Heart......a typical bunch of weirdos........"
