In all her life, Mikoto could not remember waking up with a more sore and ragged feeling body except for the first time she went full blown level 6. Her arms felt like they had been runnover by a stampede of 200 ft tall Happys at a fish convention. Her throat felt like Natsu had just given her mouth to mouth with a Roar of The Fire Dragon move. And her head.....she couldn't begin to describe the migrain she currently had. Every sight, every sound....hurt like a gong that was constantly going off in her head.
"Urrghh...." Mikoto blinked against the massive barrage of sights and sounds that seemed to be running through her system. "Ow...oww...help.....it hurts....."
Suddenly a gentle hand brushed her forehead. Immediately, Mikoto's migrain stopped, and her vision cleared. She was lying on her sleeping bag drenched in sweat as Lucy brushed a towel over her forehead.
"Be honest...." said Mikoto. "How much forest did I just destroy?"
Lucy sighed with relief. "Thank goodness!! You were in so much pain just now. Your eyes were shut up tight and you wouldn't let go of Happy's tail."
"Happy's tail?" Mikoto muttered she looked down to see that her fist was closed tightly aroung Happy's tail in a mega vice-like grip.
Happy looked like he was trying not to say anything about it, but his face had the look of 'OW OW OW OUCH!!' on it.
"Oh man....sorry Happy." Mikoto said letting go of Happy's tail
Happy rolled onto his back and clutched his tail. "A-aye..."
"How long was I out for?" asked Mikoto as she attempted to move an arm, but failed painfully.
"About 5 hours." said Lucy. "It's morning now...Erza heard the screaming last night and was able to restrain you with her Lightning Empress armor before anyone got hurt. Then Angelus did something weird and put his hand on your head. You calmed right down after that."
"Really?" said Mikoto. "I-I think I remember some of that, but everything was going by so painfully and blurry, I didn't know what was real.....in fact, I think I even had some crazy vision."
"A vision? What was it about?"
"Don't tell anyone yet..." said Mikoto. "But I think I might have seen Igneel..."
"Natsu's dad?!" said Lucy looking shocked. "Well I guess it's possible that it was real. I mean, Thundaarix had contacted you in dreams before... Who's to say another dragon can't use dreams to contact people?"
"He told me to go back to the palace...and to look in the throne room for something.....I can't remember... it's way too foggy...he also wanted me to tell Natsu that he'd see him soon." said Mikoto. "Urrrghh....I wish I could remember more!"
"Just calm down." said Lucy. "It'll come to you."
"So...do you think I should tell-?"
Before Mikoto could finish her sentence, Natsu burst out of the bushes. "YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!! Igneel and I are gonna....YEAAAAHHH!!!"
"NATSU!!" Scolded Lucy. "Have you been been eavesdropping!!!!? AGAIN!!!?"
But Natsu was too busy jumping up and down in joy to listen. "IGNEEL IGNEEL IGNEEL IGNEEL!!!" Natsu ran off into the forest still shouting Igneel's name as Mikoto and Lucy just stared after him.1
"Well...you defiinitely put sombody in a good mood." said Lucy.
"You're telling me." said Mikoto. "So it's morning now right? What are we going to do?"
"Erza, Lyon, and Gray made a plan to storm the palace." said Lucy. "They said they weren't going to explain it for about 3 hours though."
Lucy put a hand to Mikoto's forehead. "But until that time, you're going stay and rest, I'm gonna go wet some more leaves to see if we can get that fever to go down."
Lucy got up and made to go into the woods.
"Lucy...thanks." Said Mikoto. "I know I probably don't say this often enough... But you've always been a big sister to me."
Lucy grinned. "That's what family is for... anyways, don't you dare move from that spot until you feel 100% better. Got it? I'll hunt you down."
Mikoto grinned back. "I'll keep that in mind."
Meanwhile, about 3 miles into the forest, Saten and Uiharu were busy looking for firewood. Ahead of them, leading the task was Erza.
"Come brave ones!" said Erza pointing her sword into the distance. "We shall leave no log unchecked, no twig uncarried, the fire we shall create will be greater then any ever built!!"2
"I-I think she's taking this a little too seriously..." said Saten as she Uiharu each struggled under a 5 ft high pile of logs and twigs. "Erza...I think we have enough..."
"No!!" said Erza. "The others back there are counting on us to build a magnificent fire... and if we do not fufill that wish, then what are we put knaves!? Come we shall collect fire wood together in the name of..."
"Really Erza, I think we have enough.." said Uiharu. "Can we please go back now? I think my legs are going to crumble."
Suddenly out of the undergrowth, a giant forest vulcan jumped out with hearts in his eyes. "Women! Women! Women!!"
Before the vulcan could do anything though, Erza jumped up and headbutted it right in the forehead, causing the vulcan to topple over with a massive bruise on it's forehead.
"Y-yeesh!" exclaimed Saten. "Scary!!"
"You..." said Erza pointing her sword at the vulcan. "You live in this forest, tell me where we can find the best firewood."
The vulcan gave a frightened tearful cry and ran off into the forest with Erza in hot pursuit. "Come back here coward!! I will not leave without the best firewood!!!"
"Erza..? Erza...?" Uihara gave a frightened whimper. "Did Erza just leave us here...alone?"
"Don't you worry about it." said Saten setting down her stack of firewood. "She'll be back, I'm going to take this chance to rest."
"Uh...okay.." whimpered Uiharu as she settled down her logs.
Suddenly the bushes rustled. Uiharu looked fearfullu. "Er....Erza? Is that you?"
And....Out of the bushes popped...three.....butts.7
"E-EH!?" said both Uiharu and Saten at the same time.
The black spandex covered butts seemed to turn a little, as if they were looking around like periscopes. The butts gave a slight sinister giggle and shifted along the bushes a bit.1
"S-Saten...I think we're being hunted by giant butts..." said Uiharu.
"Well...that's one thing the folks at home won't believe." Said Saten. "Assaulted by gluts..."
Suddenly the butts jumped out of the bushes dramatically to reveal they were actually attached to three people wearing spandex. The men, two of them skinny, one of them fat turned around laughing.
"AH HAH!!" said the leader. "So you've spotted us despite our excellent hiding skills!! But now tremble in fear as you look straight at the masters of TRUE EVIL!! We are....."
The three men put their massive butts together in a pose. "The Jiggle Butt gang!!!"
Saten and Uiharu just stared for a moment.
"Is there like....any way I can unsee this?" said Saten.
"Haha!!" said the Jiggle leader. "Just look at you people!! Trembling in fear at our evil might!!
"You got it boss!" said one Jiggler.
"You sure got em good boss!!" said the second jiggler.
"Boss Boss Boss Boss!" the two jiggler chanted and cheered on their leader as he started flexing his muscles (muscles he doesn't have).
"Now!! said the jiggle leader. "I have come looking for a one called Mikoto Misaka! If you ladies would be kind enough to tell us where she is, I won't reveal my entire wrath upon you."
"Eh...? You know Mikoto?"
"Know her!?" said the jiggle leader. "Boys!! Let's show em!!"
"Yeah boss!!"
The Jiggle Butt gang pointed at a spot on the chests of their outfits to reveal Mikoto Misaka's face sewn onto the threads. "BEHOLD!! She is none other then our beloved angry demon electro goddess!! And we shall be her humble students!!"1
"..."1
"Hmmm.." said the jiggle leader. "Not convincing? Well then, I shall tell you the story!!"
"Yeah boss tell em the story!!" shouted the other jiggles.
"It was a day of evil doing like any other..." said the Jiggle leader dramatically. "We were hijacking a train that was supposed to be full of valubles.....suddenly, we ran into none other then Fairy Tail.
And with them, was none other then that thundering goddess herself!! Mikoto Misaka!! We attempted to escape, but with the power of her trusty Railgun move, she totally dominated us. And it was then that I totally realized..."
The jiggle leader breathed in dramatically. "WE MUST BECOME THE STUDENTS TO HER GREAT POWER SO THAT WE COULD ESCALATE INTO THE RANKS OF TRUE EVIL!!!!"
"We even made her a complementary Jiggle Butt outfit!!" Said the fat jiggler bringing out a spandex clothing article similar to the one they were wearing."1
"...Okaayy?" said Saten. "Sorry to break it to you guys... but I don't think Mikoto would...wait a second...How did you guys find us!?"
"We used the power of our loyalty to our Thunder Goddess!!" exclaimed the jiggle leader. "Now if you don't mind... we are off to search for her.."
"Look, no offense and all...but I don't think Mikoto would-" Uiharu began.
"BOYS!! THOSE GIRLS ARE TRYING TO KEEP US FROM OUR THUNDER GODDESS!!" Said the jiggle leader. "Deploy operation, Mega Cheek!!"
"You got it boss!!"
The three jigglers brought their butts together and pointed them at Saten and Uiharu. "Triple Butt Explosive Ecstasy!!!"
"BAMMMPFFFFF!!" a massive green fart cloud engulfed both Saten and Uiharu.
"EWWWW!!!" Shouted Saten. "That's just- *cough* *cough* Bleagh!!! I think some of it went in my mouth!!"
"What kind of twisted ability is this!!?" shouted Uiharu covering her nose.
"AHAHAHAHA!! Now that our special move has you busy, We can finally go and see our goddess!!" shouted the Jiggle leader.
The Jiggle Butt gang ran past Saten and Uiharu just as Erza came back through the undergrowth.
"Hmm?" said Erza. "What's wrong with you two?"
"Some weirdos name the Jiggle Butt gang want Mikoto to join them!" exclaimed Saten.
"Did you say....Jiggle Butt gang.....?"
A sudden change came over Erza as anger contorted her facial features. "Those....idiots....the ones that ruined my picnic so long ago...All I wanted to do was have a picnic.....and they...AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!" (Technically it wasn't the Jiggle Butt gang that ruined Erza's oportunity to have a picnic during that episode...but then again Erza's memory goes fuzzy with that kind of anger XD).
Erza drew her sword and ran in the direction of camp. "OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!!!"2
"E-Erza is really scary." whimpered Uiharu.
A few seconds later, there was the sound of screaming, and the Jiggle Butt gang could be seen flying into the sky following a massive mushroom cloud.1
"R-really really scary..." agreed Saten as she watched the Jiggle Butt gang fly off into the stratosphere.1
7:00 AM Academy City, The Windowless Building.
In a ginormous tank that dwelled within the tallest and most indestructable building in Academy City, floated the what people knew as the school administrator.
Others who were more attuned with magic and the occult, knew him as one of the most powerful magicians in the world, though it had been a while since he had last used magic.
As he floated within the fluid of the large tank, his appearence could have decieved many to his true nature. He looked like a man, yet he also resembled a woman. His appearence was that of a child, yet also a full grown adult. He could have been either a saint or a criminal.
This man, was Aleister Crowley. The schemer behind many schemes. A puppeteer who could bend any to his will without anyone's knowing.....anyone except his many double agents of course.
Over the many years, his hand of influence had stretched beyond Academy City to the other countries of the world....and now it had stretched into the other dimension known as Earthland.
All around Aleister's tank were tv screens showing him the going ons of the entire city. But there were a smaller group of screens that currently held his attention. These screens showed a familiar island....the kingdom of Fulmen.
"This show is becoming most interesting." said Aleister, his mouth unmoving. "I can't wait to see the results. Will you rise or will you fall Railgun. Though for now, I am merely an observer.. I feel my adrenaline boosting slightly."
"I see you still like to play your sick little games." said a boy who was standing in the dark room next to the tank. The blonde boy wore dark sunglasses and a flower patterned shirt.
"And I thought you were done playing around with the prophecy." continued Motoharu Tsuchimikado.
"Done playing?" said Aleister. "Well I've never been one to put away my toys so quickly."
"So it was you who allowed Diablo Etwatia to find Gensei and obtain AIM Burst." said Tsuchimikado. "That figures...even Hydra Head shouldn't have been able to keep one step ahead of that schemer... not unless there was a bigger schemer in the background. So what's your game, what do you intend to do?"
"You shall see." said Aleister. "Just know that much of it is being done in the name of science. To discover the perfect Dragon Born."
"This wouldn't happen to involve your failure to control Nelliel Cerulean would it?" said Tsuchimikado. "I warned you Project Waterfront would be a huge mistake."
"That was merely an experiment to see if we could create a Dragon Born with esper abilities. However, weaponizing and militarizing Dragon Borns are still a work in progress....or should I say, a work currently in progress."
"You want them to kill her..." said Tsuchimikado as his eyes widened under his shades. "You want to study her body."
"Close..it's not the Railgun whom I desire to study on the autopsy table." said Aleister. "I still wish for the Railgun to live...after all, the rumored result of the prophecy is something I'm most interested in. In reality, I would like to study Hope Ellendiel..."
"You are sick.."
"Science is sick." said Aleister. "It's an art that is devoid of morals...we experiment and we deduce from the results. Ethics have no place in a lab. I believe I first proved that after I created Night Reveler. In any case, I have a job for you.."
"You want me to take care of Exisio and make sure Railgun doesn't snuff it." finished Tsuchimikado. "Consider it done. But don't expect me to let the princess die just because you want to study her...find another gunea pig for your cage."
Aleister smiled. "Unfortunately for that gunea pig, I've already moved past the observation stage."
