A Railgun in Fairy Tail Book 3: Bridge Between Worlds

Gray and Nelliel VS Aqualas

"Crap, crap, CRAP!!!" Gray ran through the ruined buildings, dodging massive undead dragons that were rampaging all over the place. It had only been 15 minutes into the battle, and Aqualas had already turned the tables on them, making quick work of Wendy, and managing to totally dominate Gray. As Gravix had told him so long ago........Aqualas didn't earn the title as the ace of Hydra Head for nothing.

In hot pursuit of Gray was a ginormous wave of black water on which Aqualas stood like a strangly stiff surfer, riding the waves towards his intended targets. With both his hands occupied in carrying an unconscious Wendy, Gray wasn't able to use any ice magic to slow Aqualas down, and was instead, forced to run even faster. Not that it would have mattered anyways. As it turned out, freezing wouldn't have been much use anyways, especially considering that the water Aqualas used could not be frozen no matter what Gray did.

In truth, Aqualas was stronger and faster with his attacks. Something which was able to quickly pierce through Wendy's support magic. Now, Gray could only hope that he might run into some of the other magic guilds so that they could maybe take down Aqualas with a combined effort of some sort. (It was this moment right now that made Gray glad he wasn't fighting in the Black Flood Marshes, where Aqualas acted like a pure psycho.)

"Running will only take you so far..." said Aqualas in his usual calm voice. "Eventually your feet will tire, and you will be forced into battle. I however, never tire...not as long as the water in the air and ground are drawn to me...."

"Shut up!" panted Gray as he ran. "You're just too lazy to use your feet you nutjob!!"

Aqualas did not respond to that (Aqualas is completely oblivious to insults). Instead he raised his hand. "Aquatic Sentinal of The Water God!!"

In Gray's path, the ground erupted with enormous power as a massive humanoid golem made completely of black water crashed out of the earth, splashing and morphing with every step as it seemed to spring up like it had an inner geyser welling up within.

The Aquatic Sentinal stretched out a massive watery arm at Gray, who jumped out of the way as the water fist crushed the cobblestone road beneath it.

Gray cursed as he realized that he was now cornered. The Aquatic Sentinal advanced from the front as Aqualas lowered his wave and stepped onto the road, advancing from the back.

Aqualas raised both his hands up. "Feasting River: Keto!!"

The ground erupted at Aqualas's feet, and a ginormous serpent with sharp fangs made completely out of black water burst out of the ground and shot at Gray like a hungry viper. Before Keto could bite into Gray though, a familiar watery dragon's tail thrashed into it's neck and slammed the move into a black puddle.

"Saphire Lotus: Scalding Beam!!!!!"

Nelliel jumped in front of Gray, her Water Dragon Tail whipping around angrilly as she thrust her finger out and a ginormous steaming blast of burning hot water shot out and blasted into a black water shield Aqualas conjured in front of him.

Nelliel then turned to look at the Aquatic Sentinal and slammed her hand against the ground. "Skyward Geyser Rocket of the Water Dragon!!"

A massive geyser of water blasted out of the ground from below the sentinal and tore it apart with it's enormous pressure. Nelliel fell to her knees panting from the amount of magic she had just performed.

"Nelliel!!" Gray ran over to Nelliel and knelt next to her. "Are you okay!?"

"I-I could smell you....." said Nelliel a tear forming in her eye. "And then I saw you were in trouble....so I snapped a bit."

"Well I'm alright now, thanks to you." said Gray with a grin.

"Alright?" said Aqualas walking forwards slowly. "I haven't even shown you my full power......and you think you're alright? Especially with an injured member of your group......"
