A Railgun in Fairy Tail Book 3: Bridge Between Worlds

Elli's Treasure.

"Are you ready for this?"

Mikoto and Elli were back in Magnolia Town.....standing in front of the rainbow gateway that led to Academy City.

Elli took a deep breath. "Alright.......let's go......"

Mikoto smiled. "Okay then........here we go."

Mikoto walked through the gateway with Elli sitting on her head as usual. There was a breif lapse in vision, and the twosome found themselves on a large platform in an area full of warehouses. Next to the gateway sat a man in an Anti-skill uniform who was reading a newspaper.

"ID?" the man grunted without looking up from his articles.

Mikoto pulled out a student ID card and showed it to the man.

"Go on....." said the man without much enthusiasm.

Elli gave a huge gasp. "Those buildings!!! They're so big!!!"

The man finally looked up from his paper at Elli with an expression of confused surprise. "Did that cat just talk?"

"Yes." said Mikoto.

The man stared for a minute, then shrugged. Apparently, gaurding a gateway between two dimensions had taught him not think much of this stuff. "Okay. Have a nice day."

"So where do you think we should look for this legendary treasure first?" said Mikoto. "This city is pretty big, so we might be looking for a while......"

Elli reached into a pocket and pulled out what looked like a city map. "No worries....a treasure hunter always comes prepared!! Now just follow my directions and we'll be fine!!"

"I didn't think they would lable a legendary treasure location on a city map....." said Mikoto raising an eyebrow.

"A friend of mine in the treasure hunting field gave me this map....he marked the location with this X over here!"

"Alright then, lead the way!"

Mikoto walked through the various districts and areas of Academy City, following the various directions that Elli gave as they continuosly searched for the 'treasure' that was supposedly legendary enough to have attracted people from Fiore to look for it.

Finally after passing through who knew how many blocks, they came to their first clue.

"There it is!" said Elli. "Just like my friend marked on the map!! The red and green light with a metal bird on it!"

Mikoto looked up to where Elli was referring. It was a traffic light that had a crude metal sculpture of a bird on it. Mikoto remembered that it had been a prank by one of the level 3 pyrokinesists last year that had caused the bird to be welded to the traffic light.

"Okay....so what do we do now?" said Mikoto.

"It says, we have to get on top of the traffic light and look for the sparkling rainbow window due East!!"

"Ummm.....Elli? I don't think people will like us standing on top of the traffic light........."

But before Mikoto could finish, Elli activated her wings and picked up Mikoto by the back, flying right up on top of the traffic light where Mikoto waved her arms like a windmill in an attempt to keep ballance.

Mikoto gave a yelp and wrapped both her hands around the bird sculpture as people below stared. "E-Elli! Warn me next time okay!?"

Elli flew up to Mikoto's head and put a paw over her eyes, looking to the east for what was described as a Rainbow Window.

"Elli.......I think those Judgement Officers are looking at us......."

"I see it Mikoto!!" Said Elli in utter excitement. "Look, the window on that skyscraper is colored like a rainbow in the sunlight!"
