A Railgun in Fairy Tail Book 3: Bridge Between Worlds

The Amazing Death Race

"NO!! I am not going in there!!"

Natsu was struggling as Mikoto and Erza tried to force him into the back seat of the red vehicle. There were only 2 minutes left before the race was supposed to start, and the rest of Fairy Tail had already gotten dressed and prepared themselves. Now all that was left was to get in the vehicle........but of course, considering Natsu's motion sickness, it was proving rather difficult to convince Natsu that they wouldn't allow him to get Happy to fly him instead.

"COME ON NATSU!!" shouted Mikoto trying to force him into one of the back seats. "Just bear with it!!"

"Should we knock him out?" said Gray. "Then we'll be able to get going."

"GREAT IDEA!!" growled Mikoto, her bangs sparking. Suddenly a massive lightning bolt soared from her bangs and blasted into Natsu. Natsu fell over into the seat, completely out cold.

The rest of the group except Erza backed away a little. "Sc-scary!"

Finally the entire group were in the vehicle. Happy, Charle, and Elli stood on the balcony outside, waving their paws in farewell as the final countdown began.

"Wait....." said Mikoto looking at the surrounding front seat area where she was sitting next to Erza. "Does anyone know how to drive this thing?!"

"Alright folks!!" shouted the pumpkin head man hologram in the sky. "You can see the track to your right!"

Immediately, the sky lit up with two rows of sparkling lights 50 meters apart going off into the distance.

"Now start your engines in, 5.......4.......3........2.....1.....KABO!!!"

Suddenly, the front on Erza's end lit up with a shining light and what looked like a large handle on a rotating swivel rose out between her legs along with several pedals below her feet.

"Simple enough!" said Erza. "Hold on everyone!!"

The cart gave a tremendous lurch and shot off towards the race track along with about over 112 other vehicles. Mikoto could feel the G-force pushing into her face as the cart accelerated, the lit up city below going past in a blur as they raced through the air past the magic lanterns that marked the race track.

"WHHHHAAAAAAA!!!" shouted Wendy covering her eyes and burying her head into the shoulder of an unconscious Natsu. "Let me know when it's over!!"

Mikoto on the other hand, was thrilled. "This is amazing!!!" Mikoto shouted over the wind that was blowing past her ears. "I wonder if this is how a quarter feels when I do a Railgun move!!!??"

"Well considering that we're not burning up, I don't think we're even close!!!!" shouted Gray.

"Come on!!!" shouted Erza. "We're taking the lead!!!!"

Erza proved herself to be a skilled navigator as she bobbed and weaved in between all the different colored racing carts, sometimes going over them, other times going under.

By the time they were at the top three spots, Mikoto felt like she knew exactly how Natsu felt whenever he got on transportation......absolutely sick.

"Ughhhh." said Gray "Gonna hurl....!!!"

"Is it over!!?" shouted Wendy her head still buried in Natsu's shoulder.

Mikoto suddenly noticed a bright green vehicle coming up from behind. The vehicle had what looked like Lyon at the drivers seat with Jura sitting next to him. Behind him there was a guy who looked slightly like a dog with his strange face, someone Mikoto remembered was named Toby. sitting next to Toby was a small girl that Mikoto hadn't seen before with pink pigtails and behind them in the fifth seat was a small petite hooded figure.
