A Railgun In Fairy Tail, Book 6: Apocalypse

Prologue

Fiore. Southwest end near a beach called Esper's Retreat.

The Esper's Retreat used to be a peaceful place. Ever since our world and Fiore became ireversably connected by the Rainbow Gateway, Academy City had made some extensions into this world of magic. From the extensions came several results:

1. Phone service

2. Schools devoted to brain research

3. Esper's Retreat.

The beach that had been named The Esper's Retreat, had been named after Academy City moved several facilities over as a means to study espers of a more special nature. Namely low level espers who just had a tough time leveling up.

This area had been picked because of a special plant that grew near the beach known as Mind's Foil. It had a special property that when taken in liquidized form, could encourage faster and easier leveling among espers without any negative side effects. The locals of the area tended to use the plant to create magical potions for brain stimulation...while the plant itself wasn't magical...once used in a magic potion of that nature, it had great effect...however it's original trait of having no negative side effects dissapeared with this enhancement...not that the espers needed to worry, they only took the nonmagical substance...after all, espers using magic without bleeding to death had only been heard of in three individuals, all three of them being from Academy City, and all three of them having a rather exceptional relation to the magical creatures known as dragons.

However, the military unit that was currently stationed in the forest just beyond the beach was not thinking about what this place used to be...but rather what had become of it now...

These men were what Fiore and the UN (United Nations) called S.E.A.M.S. The Super Elite Anti-Mage Squad. They were comprised of a combination of the Rune Knights from the Magic Council and soldiers provided from countries around the world back in the world Academy City hailed from. An emergency alliance that had been formed to combat the dark forces that were now assaulting both worlds.

There was a total of 2.1 million in SEAMS. Led by both Official Magic Guilds and Governments alike...they were the first fighting force to ever be formed by an alliance between two dimensions....or they would have been...except the enemy they were fighting was the real first alliance.

 Doranbalt took out a pair of high tech Academy City Bio-Seekers...binocular like devices that could seek out living things in any sort of weather or day conditions. He peeked out over the rocky outcropping just beyond the forest.

He spoke as the other grim looking men and women crouching behind him listened. "1...2...3...4...5.. looks like their are 5 full grown dragons watching over the main buildings...probably what used to be the mess hall...though it looks a bit too burned for me to tell. As for the small ones...there's around 500...all human sized."

Doranbalt looked back at his regiment. All of them were covered in dirt and bruises from many hard fought battles. They wore an assortment of high tech dark green armor that probably looked shiny and new at one point...but were now as ruffled up and dirt covered as the people wearing them.

Doranbalt sighed. They had lost too many to make it to this point...it was heartbreaking. They had already lost the official guild who had come with them to a bunch of these thieving monsters. If they came up against any major members of the Dark Guilds they were fighting then there was a fair chance they could all die here.

"Alright." said Doranbalt. "According to reports, Esper's Retreat is currently being occupied by 3 of Hydra Head's members...they rank 48 to 50..."

"So they're Hydra Head's weakest members." grunted one soldier. "Let's fill em full of lead..."

Hmm..so this one is from the other world. Thought Doranbalt recognizing the expression 'fill em full of lead'.
