A Railgun In Fairy Tail, The Soul Slayer Chronicles: Book 6, Love

Nothing Exists But Me....

Natsu Dragneel opened his eyes... everything felt cold.. and dark.. he could feel no floor... nor any sort of gravity beneath him... he was just floating.. floating through the dark.. through the cold cold dark...

He didn't breathe.. he didn't need to.. not that there was anything to breathe in the first place.. yet somehow he was able to survive without air.. to hear the sound of his own blinking eyelids without air...

he held up his hand.. despite the complete darkness surrounding him, he could see himself perfectly, as if he were somehow seperate from all of the darkness...

"Where am I?" Natsu murmured. "Where is everyone? Where is everything?"

"None of that exists anymore.." said a voice..."He has destroyed all of it..it won't be long now before everything else is gone as well.."

Natsu turned his head to see another individual levitating in the darkness..and his eyes went wide with recognition..

The man.. with his parially broken hollow mask.. gray skin.. empty looking green eyes.. and tear-like markings on his face.. his white coat billlowing in the nonexistant winds of the world of nothing..walked over to where Natsu hung.. in the darkness.

"Ulquiorra Cifer.." said Natsu. "What the hell.. what just happened..?"

"When Asgawrath claimed Mikoto Misaka as the Lance of Gungnir, he destroyed the entire Multiverse... right now.. you and I.. are the only ones left.. Hueco Mundo.. Soul Society.. Fiore.. Academy City.. nothing exists..

"B-but that means.." Natsu said, with utter horror. "Everyone is.. d-dead.."

"No.." said Ulquiorra. "It's more then that.. if one dies.. some part of them still remains.. however.. soul, body, and mind is completely gone... they're not dead.. they simply don't exist..."

Natsu began to tremble. "Erza... Gray... Kuroko.. everyone.. is all gone..

"Not everyone.." said Ulquiorra. "Mikoto Misaka survives.."

"What!?" Natsu exclaimed. "B-but.. what!? HOW!?"

Asgawrath cannot send the lance out of existance." said Ulquiorra. "You need to think logically Natsu Dragneel.."

"Then.. why are you and me still around?"

"Asgawrath left me because of my new found.. heart.. so to speak.." said Ulquiorra. "I amuse him... and he's keeping me around to see where I will go from here in the new world he creates... you have no need to fear me.. I no longer serve him.. nor do I wish to.."

Ulquiorra closed his eyes. "Mikoto Misaka granted me a heart.. I shall not disgrace that..."

Ulquiorra looked at Natsu. "But as for you... I don't know how it is that you survived...there is no possible logical reason Asgawrath would need to keep you around.. or recreate you as a new Natsu Dragneel...which makes this a dangerous situation.. it means you are an anomaly he could not predict... when he finds out.. you can be sure you will be of extreme interest to him.."

"So I guess I know what I need to do then..." said Natsu.

"Do you?"

"Yeah.." said Natsu with a growl. "I'm gonna find that Asgawrath bastard! Force him to free Mikoto and then bring back the Multiverse!!"

Ulquiorra blinked for a second. "That is actually our only option... but we must wait first.."

"Wait!?" Natsu growled. "WAIT FOR WHAT!!? That freaking immortal pervert has his stupid little fingers all over Mikoto and is laughing around at all the innocent people he's deleted.. AND YOU SAY WAIT!?"
