Of all it's numerous buildings. The most impressive of all of them in Psychic City was none other then the Military Tower. This was where those who were determined as the most lethal and worthy combatants were taken. Only levels 3 to 5 ever made it this high in this ranking above ordinary ground troops...and not many ever survived long enough to make it here.1
Mikaris remembered the first day she had come into this building when she had just turned 13. Having passed her IQ exams with flying colors, and surpassed all of the other children in becoming a level 5, she had been immediately brought to the Psychic Supreme.
Shivering, and out of her mind with fear, she had stood in that large dark room full of holographic flying shapes wondering what the Psychic Supreme wanted with her. Usually those who were called to see the Psychic Supreme were never seen again. Was she about to go the same way?
"I see you've lost an eye.." the Psychic Supreme had said. "Can you tell me why?"
"I cut it out myself." Mikaris had said..but after that she said no more.
"I see.." said Psychic Supreme. "One must be extremely ruthless if they are to pull off such an extemity in order to become strong...would you be my ruthless weapon?"
"W-weapon?"
"I don't suppose you ever heard of a railgun?" said the Psychic Supreme. "It is said to be so powerful, that before Psychic City took over much of the planet, it's use as a weapon was deemed too expensive as it required such a massive amount of power. However, we live in a more...convenient era...I've seen the tests, quite the signature move you've developed for yourself...one little coin, and in it you've packed so much destruction. I need a weapon like that...I need a Railgun.."
Mikaris could practically hear the greed in the voice of the unseen man...the desire to control her power.
"I need you to be that Railgun.." Said the Psychic Supreme. "Well? What do you say?"
"I suppose if I refuse..you dispose of me.." said Mikaris.
"In a manner of speaking...human cells are actually useful fuel resources."
"Fine." said Mikaris.. "Where do I start?"
Mikaris snapped out of her flashback and back into the present. Currently she was sitting at a long metal table in what appeared to be a meeting room. Along with her, 6 others were present, including General Shokuhou who was sitting in the chair next to her.
At the far right on the other side of the table, sat Domus Accelerator, who had his hands clasped together and his head bowed whiled he muttered to himself repeatidly about who knows what. 'The Slicer' Kanzaki, sat on the other end, calm and silent as usual, though Mikaris could feel the faint aura of a barely controled anger coming from her as a result of having recently lost her quarry. (Kanzaki was the only one who didn't possess an A.E.A since she wasn't an esper)
On Kanzaki's left, sat a red haired girl with a bored expression that looked as if it might turn cruel and sadistic at any time. she had two small red twin tails tied on her hair, and her armor was perhaps one of the more feminine looking armors besides Mikaris's, being a leotard as well, only it was pure white and there were a few red armaments on her shoulders, boots, and arms. At her side was strapped a long black flashlight. This was the 6th General, 'Death Shadow' Musujime, the only Level 4 among the Divine Generals, and a proficient Teleporter who could teleport objects to a location of her choosing without touching them (Unlike her Earthland Counterpart Awaki, she doesn't have any trouble teleporting her own body.) Rumor had it that the A.E.A enhancements gave her the ability to put her body into a state of partial teleportation, so she could be in two places at once in an intangible state.1
On Mikaris's left sat the number 7 General, 'Mega Punch' Sogin, or Gunha Sogin, also known as Attack Crash. He was a level 5, and his headstrong hit first, ask questions later attitude granted him control over the 7th military fleet, consisting of the Psychic Supreme's special task force, meant to deal with super powerful enemies.
Sogin's armor looked like he was covered in a silver mech suit with many interlocking silver plates and hatches. His hands each had one massive black metal glove with spikes on the end of the knuckles. These gloves were each supposed to increase any telekinetic force used by Sogin over 50 times.
Then finally, right across from Mikaris sat Shin Muginas, the 4th General, the one who oversaw the black ops units. And perhaps the one Mikaris hated the most. Mikaris had already heard that the Meltdowner from Earthland known as Shizuri Mugino was also quite ruthless, but Mikaris was overall not surprised when she heard that the one called Frenda Seivulan was killed by her..Frenda Woods wasn't dead yet, but Edo-Meltdowner was so fickle, she might as well be counting down the days before another murder happened in the ranks.
Her armor probably shouldn't have even been called armor, it had no pads nor armaments, it was merely a simple black spandex suit with a red V coming from her shoulders and meeting near her stomach on it. However, Mikaris had seen the enhancement effect in action, it had a nasty effect of letting her photon beams change and twist direction so it could hit multiple enemies at once, opponents who were quick dodgers, or just allow Shin to be a jerk by writing the word FLATTY in the air whenever Mikaris passed by.
"Anyone know why we're here?" Shin asked with a bored voice. "I'm rather tired of just sitting around and waiting for nothing when I've got unruly troops that need disciplining."
"Oh would you just shut up?" muttered Accelerator. "You always complain during every meeting...you drive everyone here insane."
"Well that would explain your current mental state." said Muginas rolling her eyes. "You're nothing but the Psychic Supreme's animal, a monster he throws at the enemy whenever he wants some entertainment."
"Who knows if that's true, and who cares.." said Accelerator as a psycho smile crossed his face. "All I know is, it's actually entertaining for me too, why just the other day I.."
"Please..not another gorey story." said Musajime. "I'm not going to throw up again because of your gross appetite."
"But ol' Melty's got a point though." said Gunha. "I mean, why are we ever in here? We come, we hear some boring thing about some small band of rebels in America or Canada trying to get smart with us..then we go over their and we disband them in all but about 5 minutes, something the armies could finish without our help."
"Seeing the Generals at work is what sets the unbreakable thought in the public's mind that no matter where they go, they will never be able to beat the Psychic Supreme's power." said Mikaris. "It's not just about beating them..it's about fixating the unbeatable idea within them so that stronger rebels don't rise out of the ashes."
"And there goes Ms. Know it All again." said Muginas. "So tell us o' brilliant strategist, how do you plan on cracking that stupid old magician called Mystogan hmmm? Maybe if you kiss him, he'll spill all his secrets!"
"What the hell are you talking about..?" Mikaris growled.
"I watched your whole interrogation sessions with that mage." said Muginas with a sinister smile. "Had them all recorded. He looked like he had you on the tip of his fingers. 'oh, I believe you can still be saved'. Ha! you looked like you were ready to cry-"
Muginas stopped talking suddenly, because Mikaris had stood up, and her A.E. Railgun was pointed straight at her, it's steely barrel glinting as if reflecting it's weilder's anger.
"Are you questioning my resolve..?" Mikaris whispered dangerously.
Muginas gritted her teeth. "No..of course not...my apologies, General Misaka."
Kanzaki smiled slightly. "And the threat of her head being blown off once again quiets down the ever so loud mouthed Meltdowner. Do you ever learn Shin Muginas? After all, she was the one who defeated Dark Matter when he defected."1
"You don't have to keep telling me.." spat Muginas.
"Hey, quiet down guys." said Gunha. "Looks like the Military Advisor is here."
A metal door slid open in the room, and in walked an elderly old man wearing black and white robes, and a high tech looking black and red visor that obscured his eyes. "Good evening Generals..I'm sorry for bringing you in on such short notice."
"He's not sorry.." Gunha muttered. "If he was ever sorry about anything, I'd have bunnies flying out of my ears."
The Military Advisor took his seat at the chair that was at the head of the table. "I'm sure as you all know, we have intruders in Psychic City...and most interesting and dangerous intruders at that.."
"You speak of the Earthlanders." said Kanzaki.
The old man nodded. "Precisely. From what we can gather, they, like the rebels we have faced, do not...erm..agree with the current holder of power on Edolas, or with our current holding of power over the other Edolas."
"And let me guess." said Gunha. "You want us to find em and stomp em out..end of story."
"It won't be that easy." said Meribeth. "They're stronger then your average magic users and espers. Some of them actually happen to be our own Earthland counterparts...I already ran into myself once."
"Misaki Shokuhou." said Mikaris. "Much like our Shokuhou, she possessed the Mental Out ability at level 5 extremities and seemed to control that power in much a similar manner. Mikoto Misaka, my own counterpart, I've already thoroughly analyzed her fighting ability and strength, she is the most dangerous as she also possesses the ability to use Dragon Slayer Magic along with her level esper abilities, has also swallowed Spatial Dragon magic according to a brief x ray that was conducted before she escaped our labs with the help of a Leivinia Birdway...Advisor Leivess's counterpart."
"And these are only some of them." said Kanzaki. "The Earthland versions of the Fairy Tail guild are also here."
"Those weaklings?" said Gunha laughing. "Well this will be easy!"
"Don't be fooled." said Kanzaki. "They're nothing like their Edolas versions. They hold much magic power, and are quite skilled in their brands of magic. The only one whom I found evenly matched to her Edolas self, was Erza's Earthland counterpart."
"Oh! I've heard about her!" said Muginas licking her lips. "Didn't their battle end in a draw? Most interesting, so that Erza Scarlet girl is back!"
"So our opponents aren't ordinary push arounds this time.." said Gunha with a grin. "Sweet. So when can we start?"
"Right now of course.." said the Military Advisor. "Mikaris, Shin, Kanzaki..I trust you will inform your Commanders and Liutennants of this?"
"Cronus Shirai and Erza Knightwalker are already preparing to search the city." said Mikaris.
"I'll get my crew on it after some lunch...can't believe nobody told me about this sooner.." Meltdowner muttered.
Kanzaki merely nodded.
Right outside meeting room in Military Tower.
"Arrrgghh!! What's taking them so long!!" Cronus Shirai stomped the ground in fustration. Those who would notice Cronus's resemblence to Kuroko Shirai of Earthland would have thought this angry look belonged on her whenever she was lusting after her Sissy. But this was not the case for Cronus.
"When are we going to get chop some heads and see some people bleed!?" growled Cronus. "I'm getting impatient here!! Big Sister better be out with some blood curdling news or I'm going to scream!!"
"You don't have to be so impatient." said Erza Knightwalker as Cronus continued to stomp the ground angrilly. "With intruders in the city, it's only a matter of time."
"But my A.E.A. is getting restless!" said Cronus as she flicked some dust off the white shoulder pad of her black spandex -like A.E.A.
Unlike Generals, Commanders and Liutennants didn't recieve the luxury of having certain specialized ability enhancements like the Armor Enhanced Railgun added to their A.E.As, instead they had the basics, like Cronus's teleportation distance was increased slightly as well as the teleportation speed, the basic enhancements for those with her abiilities.
"URRRAAAAAHHH!!!" squealed Cronus. "Big Sister Misaka!! How long is this meeting going to take!!!??"
Erza sighed. "Patience was never in your vocabulary was it?"
"Well well..looks like Shirai is causing an mega bit of ruckus as mega usual."
Sharess Kinuhata, one of the Liutenants to General Muginas and the Edolas counterpart of Saiai Kinuhata appeared walking down the hallway allong with the Edolas version of Rikou Takitsubo, Rikou Revanto.
"It seems like every time MISAKA #37 leaves, you go mega beserk.." said Sharess haughtilly. "Couldn't you have some mega dignity?"
"I have dignity!" exclaimed Cronus. "Only it's the dignity I have gained from the pride of slaying over 12 high level magic users! HA! You should have seen the way I killed the leader of the Magic Triumverate Agnese Saintwater...pure gold!"
"It seems her pride is as loud as her mouth.." said Rikou. "How boring.."
"NO ONE ASKED YOUR OPINION LAZY EYES!!" screamed Cronus pointing at Rikou.
"Do we have to go through this every tiime you cross paths." sighed Erza. "Honestly, you're all acting like children...Sugarboy may have been weird, but at least he never acted like a little child."
"Easy for you to say! You're just mega here because we mega think you're useful! Which YOU'RE MEGA NOT!! YOU FIGHT LIKE A MEGA WIMP!!" screamed Sharess.
"Oh?" said Erza with an ominous stare in her eyes.."wish to challenge me?"
Sharess suddenly shut up looking rather scared. She hid behind Rikou going "meep".
"Seriously Sharess." said Rikou. "You know she's the one Commander whose strong enough to match the 7 Generals. For once, think before you speak."
Suddenly the door on the end of the hallway opened and the 7 generals piled out. In a flurry of excitement, Cronus immediately teleported right next to Mikaris. "So what's the word Big Sister!? Are we going to get to kill some people!? ARE WE!? ARE WE!?"
"We have been approved to hunt for the Earthlanders." said Mikaris. "However, before the hunt begins, I would like to find my Sister.."
"MISKAKA #37? Yeah, she said something about waiting near the entrance of the building.." muttered Cronus. "What's with her? Is she like scared of the war room or something?"
"Her reasons are her own." said Mikaris. "Right now, I need my Sister to anaylze all communication waves in the city to search for intruders..Erza..I'll need you ready to handle your Earthland self."
"Right." said Erza. "And what of you?"
"I feel it's time me and Mikoto Misaka had a bit more of a personal confrontation then our previous meetings.." said Mikaris as a spark jumped out of her bangs ominously."
Suddenly a soldier ran into the hallway and knealt before the Generals. "T-trouble in the city!! This is bad!! Really bad!!"
"Calm down ya snivelling underling!" said Muginas. "What's with you!?"
"The Earthlanders!!" shouted the soldier. "They're scattered through the city causing mass panic!! The Fire Dragon Slayer is blowing apart the school area..The Earthland version of General Misaka is taking out the powergrid...everything's gone haywire...they fight like demons!!"
"What!?" said Gunha. "What the heck could they be hoping to accomplish by randomly attacking like this?!"
Mikaris narrowed her eye with interest. "It seems like...they mean to go beyond the city.."
"And your reasons for that assumption?" asked General Shokuhou.
"The edges of the city are the most heavily gaurded in case of arial strikes from the enemy or maintenance to the hover modules need to be made." said Mikaris. "By causing mass mayhem, they will be able dissipate the guard around that area who will have gone to deal with the mess..."
"But we're over 3000 feet in the air!" said Muginas. "That's stupid!"
"Not unless we were docking for fuel in about 15 hours.." said Mikaris.
Mikaris started to look distant as she considered this new move by the Earthlanders. "Mikoto Misaka...what on Mt. Kurairyu could you possibly want?"
Railgun In Fairy Tail Trivia. Part 5.
1. Saiai Kinuhata tends to use Super in all her sentences while her Edolas self Sharess uses Mega. Unlike the Earthland Kinuhata, Sharess is much more outgoing during battle, keeping her personality rather then going all serious like Saiai.1
2. Exisio has no Edolas counterpart since he was made by Dravis who exists on all dimensional planes. The Edolas counterpart of Black Whisper however, is named Eric Lancer..he died during the very first months of Edo-Hydra Head's war against King Faust, after that, Edo-Diablo took over as leader, leading Edo-Fairy Tail, Hydra Head, and Blue Pegasus to many victories before his supposed demise at the hands of Faust's Dorma Anim. Currently, Edo-Hydra Head is scattered throughout multiple points of the globe...however, there are rumors that Marinus (edo-Aqualas) and Noiress Darkblade (Edo-Noiress Blackout) have hidden themselves somewhere in Edolas #2 like Twilight Prankster.
3. For every dimension there is usually an Edolas. The Edolas dimensions tend to spring into existance as a result of residual energy from when a new dimension forms..like a younger sister made of that dimension's leftovers. While the original dimensions can survive independently of their Edolases, each Edolas is dependent on their sister dimension for existance, like a symbiotic bond.
4. Lucy knows Mikoto sees her as a big sister. She herself sees Mikoto as a little sister and sometimes remembers Michelle Lobster whenever hanging out with Mikoto(keys to the starry skies arch of Fairy Tail) . The two are so close that a man who was seliing ice cream in Academy City noticed this when they were purchasing from him and thought they were actual sisters. In fact, Misaka Imouto tends to call Lucy Big Sister like she does with Mikoto now.
5. The Rainbow gateway allows radio signals to pass through it quite easily. As a result, The MISAKA Sisters have no problem expanding their network into Fiore, and cellphone service has also gone into Fiore about 2 weeks ago after some months of construction with permission from Fiore. Now there are cellphone towers in Fiore that extend their signals back into our dimension through the Rainbow Gateway.
6. Accelerator's choker was enhanced thanks to some joint research by Doctor Heaven Canceller and Porylusica. The battery itself now uses magic to generate power and because of that, it can gradually recharge over time by drawing from the magic energy of the environment. It's signal has also been boosted by magic so that it is better connected to the MISAKA network, enabling better calculation ability. The time that it takes for the battery to run out of power due to continuous use is now 2 hours.
7. Shizuri Mugino currently bears a personal grudge against Laxus Dreyar for her defeat during the 3rd book. She is constantly keeping an eye out for him so as to demand a rematch. She once kicked down the door of the Fairy Tail guild hall and demanded to see him, however as Laxus was currently on a mission with the Raijiinshu, she had to be forced out by Erza, Mikoto, and Mira.
