A Railgun In Fairy Tail, The Soul Slayer Chronicles: Book 4, Gods

The Lance of Gungnir

"WHERE IS HE!?" Mikoto ran up to the hospital front desk with Natsu, Happy, Elli and Lucy following close behind. Lucy Misaka was clinging onto Mikoto's hand and looked rather confused to what all the urgency was about.

"Mimmi? Will the orange hair strawberry be okay?"

"I hope so." said Mikoto as one of the bewildered looking desk nurses looked up.

"Excuse me ma'am, may I help you?"

Mikoto nodded. "I'm looking for an Ichigo Kurosaki. He was participating in the Festival."

The woman started typing away on the computer. "Okay.. so it's...Ichigo...Kurosaki.. I'm sorry, but no man named Ichigo was admitted.."

"May I see how you typed it in?" Mikoto asked.

The woman turned the rotatable flat sleek Academy City monitor around to show the characters: いちご.

Mikoto slapped a head to her forhead. "Not Ichigo as in Strawberry, put Ichi for number 1 and go for protector!"

"Uh.. oh.. sorry." said the woman as she re-entered the kanji.

After a minute, the woman nodded. "Yes, he was admitted in about an hour ago to room A12. He's still out cold mind you, but we'll be able to allow visitors. Are you by any chance members of a guild?"

"Yes."

"Then please use the security entrance so we can scan you for your guild marks." said the woman. "Security is really tightening itself a the moment."

They did as the woman said, going over to set of double doors where a man waved a strange metal wand-like device over them. It beeped whenever it came near the Fairy Tail guild marks.

"Hmm.." said the man looking at a small screen on the device. "Fairy Tail? Well come on through.."

The group hurried through the double doors and frantically searched for room A12 until they finally found it at the end of the hall.

Natsu opened the door and the others piled on in to find Ichigo lying in a hospital bed, Zangetsu leaning against the wall, which surprised Mikoto. She never thought any of the hospital staff would allow a gigantic sword like that in a hospital.

Erza, Markarov, Toshiro, and Rukia were already in the room, along with another red haired Soul Reaper with tattoos all over where his eyebrows were and his chest, named Renji Abarai.

"How is he?!" Lucy asked frantically.

"We don't know.." said Erza. "The doctors say they've never seen anything like it.. even some magic specialists looked at him. They were quite stumped too.. according to them though, he's in no immediate danger... just trapped in some sort of endless coma.."

"What happened?" Mikoto said. "Please, tell us.."

"I'm not really sure myself.." said Rukia. "I met Ichigo today in the locker rooms after his fight to tell him of Captain Kurotsuchi's findings on the Fallen Angels..then he just collapsed.. I don't know what happened."

"What did you tell him?" Erza asked.

"Nothing much." said Rukia. "Just that it seemed like the demons couldn't manifest themselves for very long in the physical world."

Mikoto eyed Rukia suspiciously. "You needed to call him back to the locker room just to tell him that?"

"Well, I wanted to congratulate him on his victory.."

"Rrrright.." said Mikoto. "Yeah.."

"Anyways, Master and I have already booked some rooms for us to stay in the hospital." said Erza. "Have you gotten a reserve member for your participation in the games yet?"
