A Railgun in Fairy Tail, Book 5: Perfection

Memory

Mikoto opened her eyes...everything was blurry. She couldn't remember what happened...her memory like her vision, was a complete blur for some reason...she couldn't figure out why. Her body felt sore and fatigued, as if she had been fighting for her life. She opened her eyes more, trying to let her vison clear.

"Urgh...wh-where am I?"

"Well well well..looks like the Big Sister look alike is awake.." said another familiar sounding voice.

Mikoto's vision came into focus. "K-Kuroko?"

Cronus slapped Mikoto across the face angrilly. "Don't get such a heavenly idea in your head you freaking lab rat! This isn't your world..and I'm not one of your little stupid friends...think like that again, and I'll kill you.."

"Ngghh.." Mikoto moaned weakly as she tried to move her hands but found she couldn't. Her wrists were currently retrained to by metal bonds as were her feet. As her mind managed to clear itself a bit more, she realized she was sitting in a large metal white room. She was sitting in a high tech looking chair that was attached to the floor. and other then her bonds restraining her, there was a strange mechanized contraption that seemed to be strapped to her head that was attatched to the chair by a mass of wires.  

And other then the fact she couldn't seem to access her magic or esper ability, the most notably embarrassing thing about her situation at the moment, was instead of her normal clothes, she was wearing absolutely nothing except a light blue hospital gown. And while the gown pretty much covered a bunch, a breezy hospital gown over a completely nude body tended to feel extremely awkward. (To those of you who've had to go get something checked at the doctor's before..you get what I mean..yeesh, I do not like wearing the gown..)

"Don't bother struggling." said Cronus who was standing in front of Mikoto. "That chair was specially redesigned to restrain magic as well as Esper abilities"

"Wh-why..?" muttered Mikoto. "What is this place?"

"WHAMM!!" Cronus slapped Mikoto in the face again. "Shut it! You're not here to ask questions, only to answer them!"

"Heh..strangest interrogation room I've ever seen.." muttered Mikoto.

"Is that back talk I hear!?" growled Cronus raising her hand again.

"Enough.." The door to the room slipped open and Mikaris walked in, bangages were all over her legs and left arm. "I find no point in not disclosing answers to her.."

"There you go again Big Sister!" said Cronus rolling her eyes. "You always let the prisoner scum run their mouths off to you! What's the point when they're going to die anyways!?"

"She's not here to die.." said Mikaris. "She's actually going to be living the rest of her pitiful existance here in this room....giving us more data on the nature of the ultimate esper theory then any other lab rat could.."

"...Ultimate Esper theory..?" Mikoto muttered. "Wh-what are you talking about?"

"Well isn't it obvious?" Mikaris brought her face close to Mikoto's so that it was only 3 inches away. "I'm talking about level 6. What you did during our battle...nothing like it has ever happened before in Psychic City."

"Glorious." muttered Mikoto. "At least that's 10,000 less people your Accelerator's murdered."

"Oh, don't misunderstand." said Mikaris. "We attempted Project Radio Noise..however, our resources were only able to produce 37 clones..and only the 37th survived."

Mikaris smiled slightly. "How nostalgic I feel watching you in that chair...that was the very chair I sat in when I first became a level 5..."

"Wait," said Mikoto feeling cold all of a sudden. "You said they mentally torture espers into level shifts..."
