Accelerator walked through the town of Fulmen...everywhere he turned, he either saw houses with closed shutters, or a random charred skeleton roaming the streets, looking for those who hadn't gone into their homes and followed the curfew enforced by Diablo.
Accelerator shook his head. What had this place come to? Accelerator had come to Fulmen once with Gildarts on a mission to catch some high level dark guild, back then, the town had been so full of life and cheer, he considered bringing Last Order and MISAKA Worst with him this time...but now he was glad he hadn't brought them...this place had become a ghost town full of demons...1
"Keh.." spat Accelerator. "Diablo's got some nerve messing this place up."
Accelerator took out his gun and took a moment to shoot an angry skeleton creature's skull. The skeleton exploded into dust as soon as it's skull blew apart.
"Now where are you Exisio!?" Accelerator called out into the gloom. "I know you're out there...are you really just too much of a straight up coward to even look me in the eye? How pathetic..."
There was a blazing shadow behind Accelerator, and Exisio appeared standing there. "You shouldn't have said something like that...now I'll have to kill you."
Accelerator grinned maliciously. "Oh..I'm sorry. Did I hit a nerve? How cute."
Exisio looked surprised at Accelerator's reaction. "You..you aren't repulsed by my form? You don't fear me at all?"
"Repulsed...yes." said Accelerator. "Afraid...no. Actually I'm rather excited...ever since Diablo, there really hasn't been anybody strong to fight...everybody I come up against is either completely weak, or overestimates their abilities so much that me and the Old Geezer take em down too easily. I'm hoping you're not either of the two.." (Old Geezer is what Accelerator calls Gildarts.)
"Hehehehe..." said Exisio. "I'm hoping the same...but if you're anything close to the Railgun, this might actually be quite fun."
"Yes..I heard you were designed to kill the Number 3." said Accelerator turning to face Exisio. "What? Is Dravis getting so desperate that he needs to send in his own specialized terminator?"
"I wouldn't call my father desperate.." said Exisio. "It's a strategic move...to ensure his victory is secure."
"Still sounds desperate to me." said Accelerator.
"So I see you're a member of Fairy Tail.." said Exisio noticing the purple guild mark on Acclerator's neck. "That means I get to hit you twice as hard!!!"
"DESTRUCTIVE SLASH OF THE DEATH DRAGON!!!!" Exisio raised his clawed hands which became engulfed in black reddish energy. Exisio slashed his claws downwards at Accelerator, the entire ground vibrating with power.
There was a huge explosion of black magic energy and Exisio was thrown back into the cobblestone road, his arm bleeding sizzling black blood. Accelerator stood in the same spot he had before, his hand on the electrode of the choker around his neck.
"Heheheh!" Accelerator chuckled. "Care to try that again?"
Exisio growled and began to circle Accelerator menacingly..what had that power been just now? Exisio had hit this strange white haired boy with nearly all his power, yet the boy had deflected the blow like it was nothing...and to top it off, Exisio had not felt an inch of magic energy from this guy when he deflected the blow.
"Are you some kind of esper?" said Exisio with a scowl.
"What do you think?" spat Accelerator. "Now here's a question from me..where the heck do you get off looking like a burned lizard man with eye problems?"
"Oh you're in for it now scrawny.." said Exisio puffing up his cheeks. "ROAR OF THE DEATH DRAGON!!!!"
Accelerator tapped his foot to the ground as the black and red twister raged at him. Immediately, an entire building shifted off it's foundation and jumped in the way of the incoming twister. Accelerator jumped straight over the building as it exploded and grinned as he landed on the ground fist down. The moment his fist touched the earth, a humungous earthquake shook the area.
Exisio leapt into the air to avoid loosing his footing. Exisio's claws glowed with blackish energy once more. "SECRET ART: HARBRINGER OF DOOM!!!"
Exisio shot down, his body engulfed in energy, his fists forward. The moment the black meteor came within about 12 inches of Accelerator however, Exisio rebounded and smashed into the cobblestone road again.
Exisio jumped out of the crater, eyeing Accelerator angrilly as he continued to stand casually in the same spot with a blood thirsty grin on his face.
His attitude...thought Exisio. The way he fights...he thinks of this as some sort of game...exactly how I fight...but, for some reason I can't hit him....except....yes of course, he dodged my Roar attack...which means his deflection only works under special circumstances.
Exisio began to laugh. "Oh, now I see...I know who you are now...my father spoke of you...the strongest esper in Academy City....Accelerator."
"Your point?"
"You have the ability to control all vectors.." said Exisio grinning. "But certain kinds of magic can affect you...as long as the magic is void of all vectors, you are vulnerable, that is why you dodged my roar attack, but deflected my other attacks....."
"Ahh...so you figured it out?" said Accelerator with a grin. "That'll make things more interesting that's for sure. Come on then!!"
Exisio slammed his fist against the ground. "Dark Revelation Of The Death Dragon!!!"
The clouds above swirled as a ginormous dragon made of black smoke with glowing red eyes tore out of the clouds. The black smoke dragon gave and ear splitting roar and shot down at Accelerator who launched himself out of the way using vectors to increase his speed.
In a burst of speed Accelerator suddenly appeared behind Exisio and touched him with a finger. "Tag, you're it."
Exisio shot down the street like a bullet and collided with a large tower which blew to smithereens. Accelerator stood in the same spot again, just grinning. "Hmm.. for a weapon against the Railgun, you're pretty darn weak....let me guess, you're not at full strength are you?"
Exisio burst out of the rubble growling like a beast. "Very perceptive Accelerator...very very perceptive indeed. It is at you say...I have not yet reached my full potential...I still need to avoid what I need from Railgun herself so that I may become a true Anti-Railgun weapon.."
Exisio crouched on the ground on all fours. "But...that doesn't mean I still don't have enough to tear you to shreds!!"
Exisio opened his mouth wide. Something shifted from inside of him. Suddenly Exisio became super large and bulgy, as if there was something inside him yearning to get out. Exisio's skin exploded and from him came a massive dragon the size of a house. It's scales were a rotting black, and it's eyes were purple. From in between it's teeth gushed out a powerful black energy like a waterfall of smoke.
"This is called Dragon Skin...it's a move that all Dragon Borns posses the ability to use " said Exisio spreading his webbed dead looking wings. "I believe the Railgun witnissed this move being used by Black Whisper a couple of times."
"Really..." said Accelerator. "Does that mean Railgun and Mavros can use it too?"
"Well yes...given that they train for years and years..." said Exisio growling. "But father gave me sort of a.....speed up in skills...you might say."
Exisio opened his jaws wide and blasted a humungous beam of black and red energy at Accelerator.
Accelerator launched himself out of the way and began jumping off as the beam followed him and demolished much of the town around him. Accelerator jumped into the air to avoid the massive black explosions.
Exisio slammed a talon against the ground and clutched the ground as black energy cracks began to shred the ground. A ginormous geyser of ethereal black energy tore open the ground below Accelerator and blasted him in mid air.
Exisio laughed as he watched the black energy engulf Accelerator. "Oops! Did that hurt!? It looks like it did!"
Suddenly the energy geyser was blasted apart. Climbing out of the pit, his back sprouting blackish enthereal raven-like wings was Accelerator. The wings blasted outwards, twisting and shifting like the wind itself.
"What!?" said Exisio. "How!? How did you deflect it!!?"
"You know the odd thing about vectors.." said Accelerator. "Is that they're everywhere...sometimes, there are vectors that haven't even been discovered....like the hidden vectors that hide in magic for example.
Accelerator grinned psychotically, his red eyes lit up with delight. "Now...let's see, which bone should I break first!?"
Accelerator pointed at each of the dragon's body parts in turn. "Eenie.....meanie...miney....moe!!"
Accelerator's finger stopped on the Exisio's right wing. Accelerator launched himself at Exisio at blazing speeds, his wings spread out.
Accelerator collided with Exisio's wing with an earth shattering boom. Exisio screamed out in pain and swiped at Accelerator with a talon. But the of course Exisio couldn't touch Accelerator...nothing could.
Accelerator jumped off of Exisio and let his wings spread into multiple windy tendrils which rammed into Exisio from below. Exisio was thrown into the air hundreds of feet.
"Tell me what the moon's like if ya come back down." Accelerator spat.
Accelerator launched himself at Exisio as he was in the air and punched him straight in the gut. Exisio began to shoot farther and farther into the air from Accelerator's blow.
But before Exisio could reach the upper atmosphere. A massive black portal the size of a city opened up above Exisio and swallowed him whole. A massive purple eye the size of a sky scraper opened up from within the portal.
"Your time has not yet come my son..." said the voice of Dravis. "I still require you to kill the one destined to destroy me.....My full strength has not yet returned.....and you shall not die yet....."
The massive portal closed and Accelerator stared up at the now empty night sky gritting his teeth. "So...I should have known that slimy bastard Dravis was involved!!"
Accelerator tapped a button on his choker and spoke. "Old Geezer..how long until you and the others get here?"
"12 hours.." said a staticky voice. "Why? What's going on up there?"
"We have a big problem..." said Accelerator. "And we need all the power we can get."
Near the center of town.
Mikoto gritted her teeth as Hope put some ointment on her foot. The mark shaped like a wolf's head hurt like crazy. "Ow....that pain...when am I going to find a moment in my life where I don't feel some sort of pain?"
Hope sighed. "You have one crazy life that's for sure. "
Elli crawled into Mikoto's lap and hugged her stomach. "Does it hurt a lot now?"
Mikoto chuckled as she gritted her teeth a little harder. "You know...it doesn't hurt so much now.."
"See? Hugs do solve everything."
Hope laughed. "Don't ever change Elli."
Natsu stood nearby looking at the moon as Happy stood on his shoulder.
"There's something coming.." said Natsu. "You feel that?"
Mikoto nodded. "I've been feeling it for a while now.....this fear, I know it. Dravis is on this island."
"Dravis?" said Hope. "But he dissapeared eons ago..the one dragon who was more powerful then Achnologia, then anything on this plane of reality besides Elanis...didn't he go into some sort of deep slumber?"
"He's awake.." said Mikoto. "And he's regaining his power...I-I can feel it..."
Mikoto gritted her teeth and groaned again as the combination of pain from her foot and the dark power of Dravis in the air caused her to feel sick.... very very sick.
Mikoto bent over to the side and threw up.
"Mikoto!" Hope looked scared now. "Are you alright!?"
Natsu bent next to Mikoto and wrapped his scarf around her neck. "It's just the atmosphere...that stupid Dravis is poison in this air.."
Natsu picked Mikoto up as Elli fluttered onto Natsu's other shoulder. "Come on..we'll find some place to rest until it's time to meet up with the others."
"H-he's even stronger then last time..." said Mikoto as she clutched the scarf around her neck. "That one time we fought back in Academy City...that wasn't even his full power.....he's even stronger now...it hurts..so much.."
"I know." said Natsu. "I know..."
