"So now you know the truth..." said Edo-Touma as parts of his mech suit began to fall off to reveal the scrawny boy in completely white clothing within. "I am the Psychic Supreme...The boy who wields Imagine Breaker."1
Everyone stared in shock. Even the other members of Edo-Hydra Head and the remaining Divine Generals stopped fighting to watch.
"B-but you were killed." murmured Mikaris. "An assasin.....killed you."
"Hehehehehe...fools!" said Edo-Touma. "That was merely a farce so that you would start your rise to power. You didn't really think that security in Psychic City would be so lax that an experiment as odd as myself would be left so ungaurded did you!?"
"This doesn't make sense..." said Mystogan from where he stood next to Misaki. "The Psychic Supreme began his invasion years before Touma and Mikaris were born...this timeline...Touma can't be the original Psychic Supreme."
"And that is where our mystery grows even more intriguing." Leivinia Birdway appeared walking over from behind Jellal, followed by Mark Space. "I appologize for my lateness. Those liutenants of Edo-Meltdowner were a bit more of a handful then I anticipated."
"You knew about this?" said Misaki.
"Well, rather I have only recently discovered this after some investigation and putting together the remaining puzzle peices I have just now been presented with." said Birdway gesturing her wand over at Edo-Touma. "It appears that the original Psychic Supreme was the Edolas Aleister Crowley, aka Arnold Baptis....he pretended to give up control of the city to an imaginary entity called the Psychic Supreme so as to obscure his true identity from the authorities."1
"B-but Touma..." said Mikaris in a quavering voice as Mikoto put her hands on her shoulders to steady her. "That...d-doesn't explain Touma..."
"Unlike the Aleister Crowley," said Birdway. "Arnold Baptis did not possess the means to extend his lifetime as long as that old coot in the fish tank...he felt that he needed a succesor to continue his work...and it couldn't be any ordinary successor...it had to be unique, somebody with a special connection to both the world of science and magic...and in this, he discovered Edo-Touma. I suspect that Arnold Baptis exposed him to a special Mental Intrusion that eventually brainwashed him into what he is now.."
"Don't talk about it as if it wasn't of my own choosing!" growled Edo-Touma. "That old man set me free...gave me power unlike any other!!! I am the alpha...the omega...the.."
"WHAMM!!!" Edo-Touma fell back as Mikoto suddenly jumped forward and punched him straight in the face.
"HOW COULD YOU!!?" Mikoto screamed. "My Touma would have never let some bastard power hungry freak turn him so easily!! WHY!!?"
"HA!" said Edo-Touma. "I don't know what my Earthland self is like in your world...but in case you haven't noticed..I'm not your silly weak Touma!"
Mikoto punched Edo-Touma again. "No you're not...except he's much stronger then you!! Do you have any idea how much Mikaris has been hurting!? How much Miyoko has been hurting!!?"
"She told you her real name...how pathetic.." Said Edo-Touma as blood dripped from his lips. "You and your pathetic notion of camaradie. You don't think I know what's coming? I've known...I've felt it in the air....when Dravis arrives...you'll be nothing but a piece of trash!!"
Edo-Touma spat in Mikoto's face. There was another mega puch. But this time it was Natsu.
Natsu grabbed Edo-Touma by his shirt collar. "Appologize ya scum! Before ya lose all function of your freaking mouth!"
"Go all angry on me all you like..." said Edo-Touma with a sinister smile. "That doesn't change the fact that this entire world is going to be doomed any moment...even now, the world gate is opening...don't you feel it? That ominous feeling in the wind...?"
Mikoto suddenly fell to her knees...clutching her shoulders and shivering. Mikaris hurried over and kneeled down next to her. "Mikoto! What's wrong? You're all pale! D-don't tell me the Mental Intrusion from earlier is.."
"No.." said Mikoto. "Th-that's not it....I-I sense ...Him....He's coming...Edo-Touma wasn't kidding...HE'S HERE!!!"1
As if on cue, the sky suddenly shook with power as a massive tear appeared in the sky. Claws larger then multiple skyscrapers gripped the edges of the massive tear and tore it further apart. The black dragon's ginormous evil head peaked through the rift, adorned with multiple spikes and armored black scales, it's eyes glowed purple with malice. Dravis pulled the rift further apart, the darkness beyond the dimensional portal being so black that nothing could be seen within even as Dravis's large body and massive wings pulled themselves through. Dravis flew over the city, his wings spread around the miniscule speck called Psychic City.
"Finally...the first jewel to add to my new empire.." said Dravis chuckling, his deep ancient voice echoing for miles.
Twilight Prankster pointed up at the huge dragon with a dramatic gasp. "IT'S GODZILLA!!!"4
Everyone else just stared at the harlequinn.
"What?" said Twilight Prankster with a shrug. "Too soon?"
"Mikaris?" said Erza. "How long until this City reaches the refueling station on that mountain?"
"We should be docking in 5 minutes." Said Mikaris as her eye continued to stare at Dravis with a wide fearful shock.
"EVERYONE RUN FOR THE DOCKING STATION!!" yelled Noiress Darkblade. "We need to hurry to the two gates before he becomes wise to us!!"
"Hold on!" said Lucy. "There's something wrong with Natsu and Mikoto!!"
Indeed, Natsu and Mikoto were both on all fours panting heavilly and sweating...as if they were being drained.
"It's Dravis's nature...Dragon Borns can't stand it." said Erza. "And now that Natsu's awakened his Dragon Born capabilities, he's as much a victim to it as Mikoto."
"I got Natsu!" said Gunha grabbing Natsu by the arm and slinging it over his shoulder. "Lucy get Mikoto!"
"Hold it!" growled Domus Accelerator. "What makes you think we'll let you go so easilly!?"
Mikaris stomped over to Edo-Accelerator with an anger in one eye vile enough to cause Domus to step back a little fearfully.
"This City is about to be obliterated by an interdimensional apocalyptic diety!! This has gone beyond our petty war!! Now gather as many of the other officials as you can and evacuate the city!!! OR SO HELP ME I WILL FIND SOME WAY TO GET PAST YOUR STUPID VECTOR DEFLECTION AND RAILGUN YOUR ASS TO THE MOON!!!"
"Geh....fine.." muttered Domus turning away and using vectors to propel himself off.
"THE SAME GOES FOR ALL OF YOU!!!" Mikaris screamed at Cronus and Muginas. "GET THE FREAKING CITY READY TO EVACUATE TO MT. KURAIRYU ONCE WE'RE DOCKED!!!"
"Yeesh..too much red meat?" said Muginas. However, she still went off to grudginly follow Mikaris's orders as Cronus teleported off.
"We'll go and help evacuate." said Edo-Diablo with a nod. "You people just try and focus on getting where you need to go."
"What about him!?" said Happy pointing a paw at Edo-Touma.
"I'll keep an eye on him!" said Natsu grabbing Edo-Touma by the back of his neck and pulling him straight out of the mech suit. "Come on!!"
"Natsu! You recovered quick!" said Lucy.
"Yeah..ya just gotta stomach it and push through.." said Natsu as beads of sweat travelled down his face.
"Th-that's right.." said Mikoto panting slightly and she shook herself off...come on!"
"Wait.." said Gunha..."anybody hear that rumbling noise?"
Everyone stopped to listen for a sec when suddenly a massive swarm of human sized black dragon hatchlings suddenly burst their way through the rubble, roaring and searching for their first hunted meals.
"Dragon hatchlings straight from the Palace of Dragons..." growled Erza. "Dravis's army..MOVE!!"
Everyone began to run as Edo-Hydra Head turned to face the dragons.
"WALL OF ENSNARING SINNERS!!" Edo-Diablo thrust out both his hands as massive wave of red molten energy colided against the endless dragon hatchlings.
As the group continued to run through the city, more scenes of desolation began to show up. Entire sky scrapers were collapsing around them as multiple dragon hatchlings ate through the support areas and sides of the buildings. Sparing no time at all in tearing apart the mech drones that were attempting to elimate them without success.
"We have to get to the docking point fast.." said Erza. "If Dravis senses Mikoto is here, he'll definitely attempt to capture her first."
"Then why don't I spare you the trouble.." murmured Edo-Touma suddenly as he knocked a surprised Natsu's hand aside and dashed at Mikoto. Edo-Touma pulled a knife out of his clothes, readying himself to stab Mikoto.
"LOOK OUT!!" Mikaris launched herself forward and pushed Mikoto out of the way. She closed her one eye and got ready for the stab. But it never came.
Mikaris opened her eye slightly. Then she opened her eye wide as tears poured down from it, her mouth open in absolute agony and despair.
Erza Knightwalker...having noticed the chaos of the city, had run to find Mikaris just in time to stand in the way of the knife that sought to kill Mikoto and then Mikaris...and now the hilt of the blade was sticking bloodilly out of her chest as she fell backwards into Mikaris's arms.2
"WHY!!!!??" Mikaris screamed. "WHY!!!??"
"A mother..*cough*...protects her daughter...whatever the circumstance." said Knightwalker as she raised a hand to carress Mikaris's cheek.
"Wendy!" said Mikoto. "We need to find Wendy!!"
"Wendy is probably miles away right now.." said Birdway gritting her teeth. "that idiot...we can't afford any deaths right now. Mark Space..."
Mark Space nodded. "I'll find her.."
Mark Space swiped a card in the air and immediately disapeared.
As Mikoto moved in to restrain a screaming Mikaris, Lucy and Erza both helped run and carry Knightwalker away from harm as she began to grow paler and paler. Natsu in the meantime moved in angrily on Edo-Touma.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ALL ABOUT!!!?" yelled Natsu punching Edo-Touma in face. "YA ALREADY LOST!!!"
"Win..lose..it doesn't matter.." said Edo-Touma chuckling darkly as he lay on the ground. "I'll kill to the last one....even if I die myself..."
"T-Touma.." Mikaris cried burying her face int Mikoto's shoulder. "What have they done to you?"
"Like I said before!!" said Edo-Touma. "They set me free- Ack!"
Touma's sentence was interupted as Natsu's fist rammed straight into the top of his head and knocked him out cold.
"Any more of that and I would've left him here to rot." growled Natsu as he slung the unconscious Edo-Touma over his shoulder. "Come on...let's move!!"
As the group continued to run forward.. they stopped to take refuge in a nearby alleyway as another stampeding horde of dragons ran past.
Mikoto turned to look at the beaten, and bruised faces of her comrades. The pale face of Erza Knightwalker as Mikaris hugged and cried over her slowly fading life. All of this...all his carnage...all this evil was happening all at once.... she would not allow it to continue.
"Why...?" said Mikoto as a tear travelled down her cheek. "Why is this happening to us?"
Elli put a paw on Mikoto's hand. "Mikoto..."
Erza suddenly stood up...so did Gunha.
"Mikoto.." said Erza. "You, Happy, Elli, Natsu, and Lucy head for the docking area...there's no way we're getting past this dragon horde...not unless somebody distracts them..."
"NO!" said Mikoto. "We have to stick together!! And what about them!!?"
Misaki harrumphed. "I would implore you not to sell us short..we'll look after Ms. Knightwalker here where it's safe and dragon free."
"You have to get to those gates." said Gunha. "And this is the only plan that's going to work."
Erza instantly requipped into her samurai pants and twin samurai swords. "NOW GO! WE WON'T WAIT FOR YOUR ANSWER!! GO!!"
Erza and Gunha charged out of the alley way and began smashing and slicing at all the dragons. Immediately all the monsters turned their attention towards the two combatants as Natsu and Lucy both grabbed the stunned Mikoto by the arms and began running with her as Elli and Happy flew close behind.
"NNNOOOO!!" Mikoto screamed as she watched Erza and Gunha become buried by a hoarde of dragons.
"Come on...we have to keep moving!" said Lucy as tears splashed out of her eyes. "Come on!!"
And so they ran through an ever darkening world...explosions riddled the environment as full sized black dragons began tearing their way through the skylines of Psychic City, their breaths raging with an energy like no other.
Several large dragons suddenly landed right in front of the group, their mouths open with cries of utter malice.
"OUT OF OUR WAY!!!" Natsu shouted as he activated his sword gauntlett and gave several quick flaming slashes that blasted a tremedous wave of molten fiery energy straight into the dragons.
Mikoto dashed forward, her Thunder Dragon wings suddenly activated. "FANGS OF THE THUNDER DRAGON!!"
Mikoto jumped up and planted multiple lightning engulfed kicks into the dragons. The dragons all fell backwards onto their backs as Mikoto leapt into the air and puffed up her cheeks.
"ROAR OF THE THUNDER DRAGON!!!" A massive beam of lightning exploded against the dragons and immediately knocked them out cold.
However, as soon as the dragons were knocked out, hundreds more began to soar out from behind other nearby buildings.
"IT'S A RAID!!" cried out Happy. "They know who we are!!"
"Like that's going to help them.." growled Mikoto. "SECRET ART!! GIANT ROAR OF THE THUNDER DRAGON!!!
The dragons were all immediately knocked out of the sky and landed in the streets with a crash.
"Anyone else?" growled Mikoto.
"Actually...I think I will take a shot..." said familiar hissing voice.
There was a large column of darkeness and out emerged a familiar figure...a figure Mikoto despised greatly
"Hello EVERYONE!! yelled out Exisio. "If you don't mind...I think I'll start the part where I kill all of you for the fun.
Exisio, The Anti-Railgun
"What? Forget about me?" said Exisio with a horrid grin, his sharp serrated teeth were all covered in blood..as if he had recently devoured some ufortunate people who had gotten in his way.2
"You..." Mikoto growled. "Should have figured you'd come along with your dad.."
"HAHAHA!" Exisio cackled. "Well you can hardly expect Daddy-o to go around without his personal Railgun can opener..And I never got to absorb you to complete my powers!! Now I have the perfect oppertunity!!"
Natsu and Lucy stood in front of Mikoto with intense glares on their faces.
"Your oppertunity just hit rock bottom." said Lucy.
"Yeah." said Natsu as he activated his sword gauntlett with a massive flare. "We're the ones who are going to hand your ass to the smack down department!!"
"Oho!" said Exisio with an amused look. "Well well well..the Salamander is actually a Dragon Born as well..I honestly would not have guessed."
"OPEN! GATE OF THE CENTAUR!! SAGITARIUS!!" Lucy waved a glowing golden key, and instantly a tall man in what appeared to be a horse costume with a bow at his side.
"Moshi moshi!" said Sagitarius saluting. "I will do my best!!"
Sagitarius aimed his bow and fired off several arrows at Exisio as Natsu sliced his sword downwards.
Exisio moved at amazing speeds, grabbing all the arrows out of the air and ducking Natsu's blade at the same time.
Before Sagitarrius could react, Exisio punched the surprised horseman straight in the face with a dark energy engulfed fist, causing him to explode in golden sparkly light. Exisio then appeared right behind Natsu with a blur.
"TALONS OF THE DEATH DRAGON!!"
Exisio engulfed his feet in dark energy and did an overhead drop kick towards Natsu's face. But before his feet could make contact, a lightning engulfed fist rammed into the side of his face and smashed Exisio into the ground.
"I don't know if you haven't noticed yet." growled Mikoto as she landed right next to Exisio, her wings spread out with magnificent grandeur. "But you're outnumbered here."
"Hehehehehe..." Exisio got up from the ground, his claws bared with malice.
"Why does that laugh feel so darn ominous?" said Lucy.
"You think that numbers matter here!?" said Exisio. "You've left yourself wide open!!"
Before the others could react, Exisio suddenly lashed out a talon and grabbed Mikoto by the neck.
"ACK! LET GO OF ME!!" Mikoto screamed as lightning rippled out of her body and travelled down Exisio with amazing power.
Exisio however, merely gritted his teeth and held on as a black energy engulfed his hands and Mikoto. He then began to laugh as the earth began to shake with power.
"MIKOTO!!" Natsu, Lucy, Happy, and Elli tried to get to Mikoto and Exisio, but suddenly a black shockwaver exploded outwards and the group was blasted back.
Mikoto's vision seemed to burst with so much disorienting color, she almost thought she was back in the Mental Intrusion device, causing a bit of fear to flare up a little in her chest.. She felt Exisio throw her aside onto the cold metal street.
As her vision cleared slightly Mikoto peered up at Exisio's new form
Exisio had grown much taller, his height was now comparable to Diablo. The muscles on his body had grown thicker while his body looked much more flexible. Exisio now had a large thick hard scaled tail and spines running down his back. A bladed horn was coming out of his noseless face and two large 4ft long silver metalic spikes were coming out of each shoulder, lightning was running down the spikes like a continuous power source.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!! YES!! Exisio raised his claws to the air as if praising the giant dragon that was his father who was hovering above in the sky. "I am finally complete!! The ultimate Exisio!! My full strength is unleashed!!"
"N-Natsu..L-Lucy.." Mikoto murmured turning her head slightly to her unmoving comrades.
Exisio suddenly stomped his foot on Mikoto's head and held it there. "How pitiful...I finally gain the power that is required to be a complete weapon against you...and you're just lying there and not even putting up a stinking fight!!"
Suddenly Exisio staggered back as what appeared to be a small pink furry cannon ball assualted his face and started scratching his face with little clawed paws.
"GET AWAY FROM MIKOTO YOU STUPID MEANIE!!!" Elli cried out as she continued to scratch Exisio's face.
"Ya irritating little rat!" Exisio yelled out as he grabbed Elli by the tail and threw her into the metal ground with a thud. "You know what!? I think I'll kill you first!!"
"WHAM!!!" Mikoto's lightning engulfed fist suddenly socked Exisio straight in the jaw. The dragon man staggered back a littel as Mikoto stood up, her wings zapping back to life in utter fury.1
"Nobody..hits...Elli.." Mikoto growled as magic power began to vibrate all around her like an endless generator.
Exisio looked back at Mikoto and popped his neck eagerly. "Now that's what I'm looking for...a REAL fight!!"
Mikoto puffed up her cheeks. "ROAR OF THE THUNDER DRAGON!!" The massive beam of electricity collided with Exisio with explosive power.
However the energy gave a massive swirl, and all the electricity was suddenly sucked straight into Exisio's spikes like lightning rods.
"Oops...forgot to tell you." said Exisio with a grin. "None of your powers work on me anymore."
Mikoto didn't let up.. She yelled out and her wings split into powerful tendrils which shot at Exisio like spears. However the Exisio's spikes gave an enormous spark and the lightning was drained straight into the spikes once more.
"Seriously!" said Exisio as he continued to cackle. "Do I have to paint a picture!? That won't work on me anymore!!"
Exisio thrust out a hand and used a single claw to flick Mikoto in the forehead. Mikoto was suddenly blasted back and smashed straight into the ground, creating a tremendous dent in the chrome floor.
"H-how...my power.." Mikoto groaned as she struggled to get up and her back sparked feebly, struggling to reform her wings.
"When my father created me, he had not yet fought against you or personally seen your powers." said Exisio. "Not unless you count that silly incident with Oberon..but even that wasn't enough to determine your actual strength. So he came up with a solution to that..."
Exisio clenched and unclenched his powerful claws experimentally. "Create an adaptation function specifically honed in on Thundaarix's DNA. All I would need to do is touch you and absorb a bit of your blood..and my body would immediately adapt into it's new permanent form...the perfect Anti-Railgun so to speak. Now, you'll find not even your pitiful Spatial Thunder Dragon mode or Level 6 powers will work...nothing that even bares even a slight hint of you...Mikoto Misaka...will ever work again..not on me."
Exisio grinned maliciously as he picked up the unconscious Elli in his claws. "Get the picture girly? You're useless now!"
Exisio opened his jaws and prepared to chomp down on Elli's head.
"NO!!" Mikoto screamed and charged Exisio, her back still sparking feebly.
Exisio caught Mikoto by her throat and threw her aside. He then stomped right on her leg, breaking it with a painful crack.
"Did I say you could move!?" said Exisio with another cackle. "I can't believe you actually attacked me while you were at your limit!"
Mikoto generated several small sparks from her fingers and opened her mouth in an attempt to eat her esper electricity. But suddenly Exisio stepped on her cheek, closing her mouth. "Na ah ah.....I heard about that little trick of yours...devouring one power to refuel another....that's the funny thing about someone like you and Black Whisper...an Esper who is also a Dragon Slayer....I might even call that artificial Dragon Born Nelliel Cerulean unique....but it's over girl...no more secret tricks...no more help from some other unexpected ancient power...no more Fairy Tail jumping in to save your ass...in the end it's just you and my old man Dravis....and guess who won today?"
Exisio leaned down and breathed right into Mikoto's face with his horrid bloody breath. "Some prophecy girl you turned out to be eh? HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"
"And some ugly oversized iguana man you turned out to be eh?" said an angry voice from behind Exisio.
Exisio whirled around to find Mikaris Misaka dashing at him with her outstretched hand lashing at him. The moment her hand connected with Exisio's face, there was a massive blast of electric power and Exisio found himself rolling and tumbling straight into a nearby administrative building in a crash of glass and molten metal.
Mikaris kneeled down next to Mikoto and rested her in her arms. "You idiot..always trying to overdo things."
"That's exactly what I tell that spikey haired idiot..." muttered Mikoto.
"H-How!?" screamed Exisio tearing out of the wreckage in fury, his body glowing with black energy. "How did you lightning affect me!?"
"You say that your powers absorbed Mikoto's DNA...while our human DNA may be similar thanks to us being Edolas and Earthland counterparts...I possess no Dragon DNA...you aren't adapted to fight me scum!" said Mikaris
Exisio laughed. "Wow!! I seriously didn't see that coming! But unfortunately for you girly, your A.E.A. thingy seems to be broken from all your previous battles...your normal Level 5 powers aren't going to be near strong enough to take me on in my new look!!"
"Maybe not me alone.." said Mikaris. "But before I got here...Mystogan used his magic to take advantage of the open portals into Earthland to make a call to an old aquaintance of his....or should I say...an old student!!"1
Suddenly, as if on cue, 5 magic staves similar to the ones that Mystogan always carried around stuck themselves in a circle around Exisio. "Five Layered Magic Circle: Sacred Song!!"
A massive beam of purple light engulfed Exisio, blasting through several large different sized and colored magic circles that had formed above him.
Exisio yelled out and burst out of the beam, his skin smoking as he stumbled to his knees. He looked back, his eyes wide with anger. "You!! You're that girl from Fulmen!!"
Standing a distance away, her midnight blue hair billowing in air that was full of the chaos and flaming cinders of the falling city, wearing the clothing so similar to that of Mystogan himself, was a girl whom Exisio had not seen since Hydra Head had taken over the island kingdom of Fulmen.
"I am Mystia Espejo!! Mystogan's Apprentice!! And in his name I will protect all of Fairy Tail! The guild in which he found solace!!"
"It's been a while girl!!" growled Exisio. "But you don't have Fairy Tail to do the fighting for you this time!!"
"And you don't have that lug Gore and that pathetic Golden Dragon Slayer to carry your coat tails either you slimely monster!" shouted Mystia as he took one of her staffs and raised it.
"OH YOU'RE IN FOR IT NOW!!" said Exisio puffing up his cheeks. "ROAR OF THE DEATH DRAGON!!"
A powerful beam of dark energy blasted out from Exisio's mouth.
"Three Layered Magic Circle: Mirror Water." Three glowing magic circles appeared layered on top of each other in front of Mystia. The roar attack rebounded off the glowing circles and blasted straight into Exisio, causing him to fall straight onto his back.
"My turn!" Mikaris suddenly appeared right above Exisio and threw a tremendous blast of lightning from her hands straight into the dragon man.
Exisio growled angrilly and scrambled away, using his tail to knock Mikaris off her feet as his scales continued to smoke from the blows he had just recieved.
He dashed at Mystia with all the speed he could muster and lashed at her with his claws. However, Mikaris dissolved into vapor the moment his claws made contact. "What!? A fake!?"
"Over here you over confident iguana!"
Mystia had just risen out of the ground behind Exisio like a phantom, each of her hands baring one of her magic staffs. She raised them into the air as they glowed powerfully. "Rejoice! Stars of the Elders! Strike down evil with your might!! Caliburn's Blade!!"
Immediately a giant blade 20 ft long, made of what appeared to be starlight came down upon Exsio in an explosion of power. Exisio stumbled away from the blow, coughing up black sizziling blood. "FOOL!! YOU THINK THAT WILL STOP-"
Before Exisio could finish his sentence, he found two familiar flaming arms grab him from behind, restraining him. Natsu Dragneel grinned maliciously. "Hello pardner...ready for round two?!"
"You!!" said Exisio. "The side effect blast from my absorption should have taken you out for at least 3 hours!!"
"The funny thing about Caliburn." said Mystia. "You see, it also has the ability to revive at least 2 fallen comrades..though it cannot heal injuries..However, it doubles their magic power temporarily."
Lucy came from up from behind Mystia. "That's right Natsu!! Hold him there!!"
Lucy closed her eyes and began to glow with radiant energy. Around the battle scene, images of planets and stars emerged with a brilliant multicolored radiance as Lucy began to chant with a strange echoing voice.
"Survey the Heavens, Open the Heavens...All the stars, far and wide...Show me thy appearance...With such shine. Oh Tetrabiblos... I am the ruler of the stars...Aspect become complete...Open thy malevolent gate. Oh 88 Stars of the heavens... Shine!6
URANO METRIA!"
"WHAT'S HAPPENING!!?" yelled Exisio as Natsu jumped away from him, and several large golden spheres of blistering light emerged and crashed into him, exploding with a tremendous light force that blocked out the entire area, causing many dragon hatchlings and full grown flying dragons to stumble and crash into each other in blindness.
When the light cleared. Exisio was lying in a tremendous crater of molten metal, completely unconscious, his mouth was open while his forked tongue lay lolled out to one side of his mouth.
"Whoah.." said Mikoto from where she lay nursing her broken leg. "I always wanted to see Urano Metria..."
As Lucy ran over along with Mikaris to tend to Mikoto, Natsu looked at Mikaris scratching his chin thoughtfully. "Heh....do I know you from somewhere?"1
"No.." said Mystia. "But I have watched you all for a long while...my appologies...I cannot linger.."
"Hold on!" said Natsu. But before he could stop her, Mystia suddenly faded like a mirage....as if she was never there.
Meanwhile Mikoto was yelling in pain. Mikaris had just set her leg while Lucy held her down.
"Right...I'm going to need a splint of some sort." said Mikaris.
Lucy reached out and grabbed two burned looking rectangular metal fragments and ripped off some cloth from her shirt. "Will these do?"
"That's good." said Mikaris using the cloth and metal to make a quick splint for Mikoto's leg.
"W-we have to keep moving." muttered Mikoto. "We've wasted enough time here as it is...."
"We know." said Lucy slinging Mikoto's arm over her shoulder while Mikaris got the other. "The city should have docked with the mountain by now...let's hurry."
"Aye!" said Happy flying out of the smoke, his fur was all poofy and covered in burns and cinders. "Let's get a move on!"
Looking at Happy, Mikoto's eyes suddenly went wide. "Elli! Where's Elli!!"
Mikoto suddenly felt a familiar sensation on her head and looked with relief to find Elli sitting on her head, her dress a little burnt and her body a little bruised, but otherwise okay. "M-Mikoto! I'm so glad you're okay!"
"Mikaris...is Edo-Erza...I mean you mother alright..?" Mikoto panted as she struggled and trudged along with Mikaris and Lucy's help.
"She'll live." said Mikaris. "Your friend Wendy came just in time. I felt then that my presence was needed elsewhere...so here I am."
"You're a life saver..."said Mikoto as her eyes began to close.
"Here..I got her." said Natsu walking over and putting Mikoto in a piggy back style ride on his back. As Natsu walked off Mikaris turned to look at Lucy.
"There's something I need to talk to you about.." said Mikaris looking at Lucy seriously.
"Yeah?" said Lucy. "What?"
"You said Mikoto was your sister...as in you considered her to be your sister...as in she is quite precious to you...am I correct?"
Lucy nodded. "That's how it's always been...ever since she first joined Fairy Tail."
"Then you of all people must at least know the scars that she has gained from her time in this world will never heal.." said Mikaris.
"What?" said Lucy looking slightly shocked. "Whatever do you mean? She's faced tons of horrible stuff before...but she's always powered through it! You're talking about one of Fairy Tail's toughest members here! Everyone calls her the second Erza!"
"It's not physical scars I speak of." said Mikaris. "I'm talking about her time in the Mental Intrusion Device."
"You mean that mental torture you guys put her through?" said Lucy as her insides went cold remembering the tears that had been pouring down Mikoto's face after they freed her.
"No human ever returns from a session under the Mental Intrusion Device...not even if it's only 5 minutes, completely unscathed. The remaining scars I bore from it still run deep within me." said Mikaris. "The nightmares I still have...I can never block out...the same goes for all the other espers of this city...30% of the population have severe insomia thanks to what they've gone through, another 20% are drunks..and drug addicts...And even though she has only gone one session...Mikoto will have some unhealable scars..scars that'll will take possibly many years to fade."
Mikaris put her hands in Lucy's her one eye looking imploringly into Lucy's eyes. "Please...you have to keep close watch on her once this is over...help her through it...the nightmares, the aching memories...I had my mother Erza to help me...you must help her.."
Lucy smiled. "You didn't need to ask or beg...you should know a little bit more about Fairy Tail by now...it's just what we do..."
Lucy looked into the distance as the flames and cinders of war burned all around her. Through fire and battle, through despair and war...no matter what happened...the will and love Fairy Tail showed would shine on...even to the end of time.
Gravix's Guide To Dragon Borns. exerpt 1.
These are notes in one of Gravix's many books that have been written by him involving his deep research into Dragon Borns and other lost magicks. Some of these books have been recently published and are available both at the Fairy Tail guild hall and in book stores all around Fiore, Academy City and in various parts of the U.S.A. and Europe as well as China and Taiwan.1
Note #123 concerning Dragon Born abilities.
Gravix- "Of all the things I have studied for the longest while concerning this unique division of Dragon Slayer, the one thing that has caught much attention by the magic community is the special abilities that set Dragon Borns apart from normal Dragon Slayers...an extra unique power you might say that grants them greater prowess in battle. From what I can see, Dragon Born abilities can be gathered into 2 categories: Corpreal and Noncorpreal. Corpreal abilities are powers that gain a distinctive form...like that of an object or body part that can extend itself and interact with the environment around it at the master's command.
Some examples of Corpreal abilities are ones such as Mikoto Misaka's wings, or Nicole Mavros's talons...or even Neliel Curelean's tail (Natsu's sword is also a Corpreal ability but it is not mentioned in these notes because Natsu wasn't known to be a Dragon Born when Gravix wrote this.)
Corpreal abilities are by far the most common of Dragon Born abilities, usually being quite beautiful to behold due to the fact that each Corpreal form is different depending on the weilder and has their own distinctive power. The wings of Mikoto Misaka can create an absolute defense that also damages the one who physically comes up against that defense. Nicole Mavros can draw on the fears of her opponents to strengthen the power of her talons. ( Natsu's sword becomes more powerful damage-wise with every cut it makes.)
The more rare of Dragon Born abilities is the Noncorpreal, abilities that don't take any solid shape or form...but rather only show themselves in the effects they create. Black Whisper, for example, has no extra appendage or anything made of spatial energy...however he can distort the space around himself to increase speed and his evasion ratio. Exisio also appears to have an incorpreal ability, it seems that the power of his magic increases with the number of dead things or corpses or anything related to dead things or death in general in the area.
These notes will have to be studied further"
