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

Barbatos, Master of Foresight

Mikoto didn't know what to make of what she was seeing.. as she expected... Academy City was in total shambles.. every building looked burned out.. skeletons, some of them baring mechanized parts, were everywhere.. dead... but in the middle of District Seven.. was the strangest thing she had ever seen in the middle of an extreme apocalypse...

It was a French restaurant... sitting in the middle of the ruined street, in the middle of district 7... in the middle of everything.. or it could have been Italian.. it's white columns.. the grape vines that adorned it's brick walls.. And there were noises coming from the building.. as if there were people inside, laughing and enjoying food and drink..

"What the crap Asgawrath.." Mikoto growled. "What the hell are you playing at...?"

Mikoto walked forward.. and as she did, she did her best to hold back all her tears.. passing by some of the smaller skeletons.. the skeletons of children..

As she neared the restaurant.. the door opened.. and without even knowing why she did it.. she walked in.. feeling ever more fearful  of whatever trick Asgawrath might have planned..

There was a beautiful waitress at the front desk. She smiled at Mikoto, and the scary part was that her teeth were fangs.

"Hello! Welcome to Le Gout.. here we sample plenty of tastes of the wonderous Omegaverse.. a very lovely bienvenue to you..Do you have a reservation?"

"Uh..." said Mikoto.

"Oh.. hold on.. yes! You're Mikoto Misaka aren't you?" said the waitress cheerfully. "Attends une seconde"

The waitress looked through a small leatherbound book with evil looking demonic writing on the cover.. "Oh yes.. here you are... the Barbatos party is expecting you.. if you would follow me.."

The waitress walked off and led Mikoto into the restaurant. Mikoto couldn't explain it.. but it was as if her own legs were forcing her to continue walking.. to follow the waitress.

Mikoto looked around the restaurant as she continued to walk.. at first all the fancilly dressed people looked normal.. but she began to notice some had strangely elongated foreheads.. horns.. fangs...some were transparent..

"What is this place? What is it doing here?" Mikoto murmured.

"Oh.. it's master Barbatos's restaurante of course." said the waitress. "Pardon my terrible French.. but it's sort of a popular gimmick here, as it is master Barbatos's favorite language..it's so beautiful.. that language."

Suddenly, there was a snarling roar.. and a large lion with black fur and golden eyes walked out in front of the waitress, blocking her path. "Lamia.. what are you doing with this human?"

"Barbas! Did you enjoy your meal I hope?" said Lamia with a wink.

"I left a sizeable tip.." said the lion Barbas. "But this human.."

"Barbatos wants to meet the human!" said Lamia. "She has a reservation. And anything she orders is on our gracious host.."

Lamia leaned in close to the black lion's ear and wihispered, " she's the one Master Asgawrath has the luvie duvies for.. wink wink.. teeheehee"

"Grrrr... stupid girl.. a dragon, a hollow, a human.. what exactly is she but Asgawrath's pet?" said Barbas. "Master my ass..I am the President of Hell..."

A slow fearful understanding began to make it's way into Mikoto's mind. These things.. they.. they were all fallen angels..

As Barbas padded away.. Mikoot was led to a large round table at the end of the restaurant. A familiar giant scaley creature with a massive gaping mouth sat at the round table with his fellow demons.. Xaphan.. The Gust of Terror.. one of Asgawrath's most trusted Generals.. there were other demons sitting at the table too.. but only one other held Mikoto's attention.. it was a tall figure in black robes.. with a large tall black faceless helm with a large golden star on the front...the Fallen angel sat at the far end of the round table, his black gauntletts clasped together as if in prayer.
