A Railgun In Fairy Tail, The Soul Slayer Chronicles. Book 1: Ghosts

All Hollow Inside

6 months ago...

Mikoto was in a blistering light....just moments ago she had pressed the piece of Dravis's heart back into it's place....all around her Dravis was dying....dying...and so was she...she would soon be no more. Around her, Lucy, Natsu, Happy, and Elli lay unconscious from the force of the magic energy ripping through Dravis's heart chamber. However, for some reason, Mikoto knealt in the blistering light, still conscious. And before appeared a man in a black kimono...a boy actually, only 2 years older then herself..however, he looked strong and tall...his head of orange hair glistened in the blistering light...on his back, he had a massive sword as long as his body, it had no gaurd and a long black hilt with a chain on the end, the blade was wrapped in white wrappings. (take note that Zangetsu's appearence changed after the Fullbring Arc.)

"So Uraharu was right.." murmured the boy. He knealt down next to Mikoto as the light began to grow brighter and brighter, and Mikoto began to feel the heat singe her skin.

"I'm not going to let you or your friends die here." said the boy. " You've done too much for everyone in every world for any descent guy to let you go without a word."

The boy put his hand in Mikoto's hand..a blue energy seemed to pass into Mikoto from the boy. It wasn't magic...it felt different...

"I'm giving you some of my power.." said the boy. "It'll protect you and your friends from most of the blast...my reitsu is naturally resistant to this kind of unstable magic...I don't know why, but this will let you live.."

As the energy passed through her...the boy dissapeared...suddenly a mirror appeared in front of Mikoto, she saw her reflection change until the reflection's skin, hair and clothes, had turned white, her eyes turned black with red irises,and her teeth turned black as well. The Mikoto reflection grinned psychotically at her other self. "Hello...Queen."

Present Day...

Mikoto froze in the seemingly silent forest, Nel was clinging to her shoulders. She looked back at the way from where she came...just now she had sensed Gray and Juvia's magic power rise to phenomenal levels...then Gray's had stopped...and after a little bit so had Juvia....what happened...had they run into Nnoitorra?

"What's happening?" Mikoto murmured with slight fear. "Should I go back?"

Mikoto was just about to do just that, when she felt a strange sensationg from the medal in her pocket...Erza was close..and probably with the rest of the group, or some of them at least...It would be better to regroup with her first then go and check on Gray and Juvia....with a foes as powerful as the Espada...one could never be too careful.

"What are you gowing to do?" Nel asked.

"I'm going to find Erza first.." said Mikoto. "Then I'll go back.."

"Oh please!! That's what you're going to do!?" said a psychotic echoing voice. "You're not excercising your full potential Mikoto!! Let's go back!! I'll rip that so called Espada to shreds!! HAHAHAHA!!!"

Mikoto fell to her knees, gasping and sweating. What had that been about? Nel loooked extremely worried now. "S-Sexy Demon?"

"I told you.." said Mikoto. "Just call me Mikoto..kay? And don't worry, I'm fine."

Mikoto got back to her feet. That voice...she didn't want to admit it..but it had sounded like her own voice...more echoish and definitely more crazed, but it was definitely her own voice...but she couldn't think about that now....she needed to find Erza right now..that's all that mattered.
