Twilight Prankster V.S. Diablo Etwatia
They were getting close...Mikoto could tell. With each step she took, the key she wore around her neck grew heavier and heavier. The black key she had obtained in Edolas...the key that was supposed to open the Gate of Entry, it felt like a 100pound weight around her neck...and it was getting heavier.2
"Mikoto..you should let me carry it." said Lucy. "You already look exhausted."
"It's alright." said Mikoto. "I can manage."
Truth be told, Mikoto had a much more personal reason for not letting the others carry the key. They were already coming with her to share in her death...she didn't need them to share any more hardship then that...this was her burden to bear.
"I can see the beach.." Mikoto said as she peered into the distance. "We really are almost there."
"Look." said Natsu. "What's that?"
Mikoto narrowed her eyes and saw something glowing with a golden light in the darkness of the twilight. It seemed to shine even brighter then the setting sun, it's golden light letting off an ethereal aura.
It was a massive gate which seemed to be made of golden light...if Mikoto had to guess at it's size, she would've said it was probably the size of the Windowless Building back in Academy City.
"That gate..it has to be ginormous." said Saiai. "Super ginormous!"
"Thank goodness." said Loke. "This lady here is getting heavy."1
"See?" said Elli. "Everything's turning out fine! We'll definitely make it!"
Mikoto stopped in her tracks. A trickle of fear seemed to cross her face. "He's here..."
"Whose here?" said Shizuri looking taken aback by Mikoto's sudden expression. "What?"
Mikoto spoke slowly and clearly so that everyone could hear. "No sudden movements...the moment I tell you guys...run...run as fast as you can..and don't look back."
There was a pause. A beade of sweat traveled down Lucy's brow as Natsu gritted his teeth nervously.
"Mikoto.." said Natsu. "What is it?"
"I've felt this magic before." said Mikoto slowly. "And right now...I'm hoping he won't notice us..."
"It's that one isn't it?" Shizuri said."The one you warned us about..the one you said we couldn't fight."
Mikoto nodded.
"Dang.." said Shiage.
Another long pause...then..
"RUN!!!!" Mikoto yelled and the entire group broke into a fast sprint across the grass, thinking only of making it to the coast alive.
We have to make it...we have to make it...we have to make it..we have to make it.. Mikoto thought this repeatidly in her head over and over, praying that what her mind said was true, that they would make it.
But of course, at the moment her luck was worse then Touma's.
The ground suddenly shook as a ripple seemed through time and space itself and a hulking armored figure appeared before the group.
Diablo Etwatia pointed a finger at Mikoto and immediately an explosion of dark molten energy explode right in the middle of the group. The explosion grew larger and larger, spreading out for over a 120 meter radius.
Mikoto opened her eyes...she felt pain all over...all over except for one spot..
Coughing up dust and shakily crawling to a sitting position Mikoto looked down and saw a horrid sight. Her right leg had been completely blasted off.1
"Darn.." Mikoto said. "D-darn.."
"MIKOTO!!" Natsu ran out of the cloud of dust, several bloody gashes were on his chest. He grabbed Mikoto in his arms without a single moment's hesitation and jumped out of the way just in time as a massive blast of molten dark magma smashed the ground next to him.
"Years...for years no one who ever defeated me walked away from a second encounter." said Diablo as he strode towards Natsu and Mikoto. "Until you came. YOU!!"
Diablo held out a hand and another molten blast exploded nearby as Natsu jumped out of the way again.
"You! The one human that managed to defeat me twice!" said Diablo. "You have fustrated me beyond any mortal, even more then my damn brother Angelus!! Even more then all those foolish mortals who think they can hold a candle to dieties!!"
Diablo threw another molten blast and Natsu jumped out of the way again.
"ROAR OF THE FIRE DRAGON!!" Natsu exhaled a massive blast of fire at Diablo. Diablo held out a hand and blew the flame away with a single twitch of his finger.
"Your power means nothing here Salamander." said Diablo. "I am here for Railgun, and Railgun only...Black Whisper wanted to send Exisio, but I felt that it was time I finalized the destruction of one of my greatest enemies...or shall I say my least known enemy..when the darkness finally obscures the Multiverse under Dravis's rule..I shall ensure none remember you.."
"And when I finally..*koff*...get a hold of you.." Said Mikoto as blood gushed out of her mouth. "I'll kick you in your soft spot and make you sing soprano for all of eternity."
"A silly threat from one who faces her doom." said Diablo as magic energy began to charge in his fist once more.
"You say that..*koff koff*..but every time you've ever said anything like that...every time the odds have looked like they were against me..I've always found some way to beat you." said Mikoto. "How do you know I don't have anything up my sleeve right now?"4
That got to Diablo. He lowered his fist and his eyes glowed a brighter molten red beneath his demon helmet. "You're bluffing..."
"Hehehehehe..*koff* How do you know that" said Mikoto chuckling. "How do you know I haven't already beaten you?"
"LIES!!!" Diablo screamed raising his fists into the air. "ALL LIES!! DEVIL'S ART: ADVOCATE OF THE DAMNED!!"
In a sudden blast of molten energy, Diablo turned into a tall slim figure with long bony arms and a dark shredded robe. He had long blade-like claws. His bald scabby head had a crown of large horns growing out of it, and where his face would have been was a swirling etherial vortex, like his face was being continuosly sucked in. In the center of his chest, was a glowing blue skull.
"I WILL REND YOUR FLESH TO A SPITTING PUDDLE OF BLOOD!!" Diablo shouted as he launched himself at Natsu and Mikoto.
Mikoto brought out a hand and instantly a massive wave of black iron particles exploded out of the ground and collided with Diablo. Diablo shredded the iron sand aside furiosly with his claws. However, when he had swiped aside the iron, Mikoto and Natsu had dissapeared into clouds of dust that surrounded the crater.
"YOU THINK YOU CAN HIDE FROM ME!!!??" Diablo screamed. "I WILL DESTROY AS MUCH AS I HAVE TO RAILGUN!! KILL AS MUCH AS I FEEL AND SLAUGHTER ALL IN MY WAY!!"
Diablo let a massive beam of black energy shoot out from his twisting face and the dust cloud exploded into nothing around him as he bared his claws in anger. Natsu and Mikoto were revealed before him, as well as the rest of the group, all of them standing to face Diablo.
"Darn.." said Shizuri. "You really pissed him off...that energy..it's like staring at a living nuclear generator combined with Slenderman and Freddy Kruger."
"I don't know what's more disturbing.." Mikoto muttered. "How easily you're taking this..or that you're referencing American horror culture at a time like this."
"M-Mikoto.." said Lucy, her eyes wide. "Your leg!"
"That doesn't matter right now." said Mikoto. "What matters is we need to get away from him...or we're dead."
"I think..it's too late for that." said Nicole.
Diablo approached the group, his body glowing with reddish power, the earth trembling with his rage. "Death shall befall you!! No! DEATH SHALL BE YOUR FINAL ESCAPE FROM THE PAIN I GIVE YOU!!"
Diablo thust out his claws, and a massive beam of dark energy shot at the group. However, all of a sudden a ginormous balloon dog appeared in a burst of smoke and confetti, and opened it's mouth wide, swallowing the blast before exploding in a ginormous puff of pink smoke.
There was another puff of smoke and confetti and Twilight Prankster appeared floating upside down and cross legged in the air.
"Dear lord!" said the harlequinn shaking his head. "The IRS is getting really aggressive about collecting lately. I mean Fairy Tail just misses one month of taxes, and they send Giant Devil Man to collect! What is our government coming to?"1
"The Edolas counterpart of Night Reveler." said Diablo. "Hmph..you certainly share his tastes in entrances."
"Taste? Taste?" said Twilight Prankster. "Dear sir! I didn't just make an entrance...I made an entire introduction number!! Play it buddy!!"
Next to Twilight Prankster, an exact duplicate of him appeared sitting at the piano. "You got it buddy!"
The harlequin duplicate immediately stared playing one of those classic songs you'd here in an old western bar while Twilight Prankster started to tap dance.
"And you are definitely as annoying as Night Reveler." said Diablo. "Begone fool!!"
Diablo fired another blast of energy at the two Pranksters and in a ginormous explosion, the two dissapeared.
However, before Diablo could admire his handiwork, a voice rang out from behind him. "Great firing champ! But could you keep it down? I'm hunting wabbits!"1
Diablo whirled around to see Twilight Prankster standing right behind him, completely unharmed. "Whassup doc?"
"You!" Diablo said angrilly.
"Me!" said Twilght Prankster gleefully. "Him! Her! I! They! Us!!..what were we talking about?"1
Diablo lunged at Twilight Prankster, but just before he reached him, there was a massive explosion of confetti and smoke, and multiple duplicates of the harlequin began flying at Diablo, cackling as they went.
Nearby, Twilight Prankster appeared next to Mikoto's group. "Did someone order a distraction?"
"You're that clown...from Crime Sorciere!" Said Shizuri in a shocked voice.
"Now listen here kiddies." said Twilight Prankster. "There's no way I have enough power to take down this guy..but I can hold him off long enough for you to get to the gate."
Prankster waved his hand and some silvery dust was sprinkled over the area where Mikoto's leg used to be. "There, you should have a new healthy leg in about 4 hours...either that, or a Xenomorph will hatch out of your chest, I kinda forget to lable these powders."
"Thank you.." Mikoto breathed.
"Just get out of here." said Twilight Prankster in a more serious tone. "I'll hold off mad and gruesome."
"You...stand up against Diablo!?" said Lucy with almost complete disbelief.
"I may not look it," said Twilight Prankster. "But I am much stronger then my Earthland self. Now out of here all of you...you're reminding me of high school...and I don't want to remember any of that"4
As the group ran off towards the coast, Twilight Prankster's clones dissapeared and the real one turned to face Diablo Etwatia.
"Shall we play a game?" siad Prankster as his voice turned extremely dangerous.1
"Oh?" said Diablo as he trembled with utmost fury. "You believe you can actually play with me? You are delusional.."
"Actually I'm insane." said Twilight Prankster. "But that's close enough."
Diablo raised his claws as they began to glow with a horrid black aura. "DEVIL'S SHREDDER!!"
Diablo shot forward with blinding speed and swiped his claws at Prankster in a flurry of relentless movements too fast for the naked eye.
Prankster laughed hysterricaly and continued to dodge all of them, leaping around like an acrobat. At times, when Diablo's bladed claws actually made contact with his body, he would turn into a balloon animal, pop with the noise of a rasberry kiss and reappear behind Diablo, whacking him in the sid of the head with a giant mallet.
"You tricky little-!!!!" Diablo roared angrilly as he tried to tear the harlequin to shreds.
"Come on!!" said Prankster as he hit Diablo in the side of the head again with his giant mallet. "I want candy!!"1
"Just like Night Reveler." said Diablo as he stopped his attack. "You can't ever take a fight seriously."
"Oh?" said Twilight Prankster, his voice changing suddenly. "Really? You want to see me...when I'm serious?"
Twilight Prankster raised his hands to the air and chanted. "The god of tricks holds world...in his hand the world breaks...all of reality...all of the stakes...oh the world...how it breaks. The time has come for the tricksters to awaken..the time has come for reality to be shaken....come forth... Mayonaka Piero (Japanese for Midnight Clown)
There was a burst of smoke, fire and strange distortional energy. The sky seemed to turn red as out from behind Twilight Prankster emerged a humungous harlequin that was similar in appearence to him...accept there was golden armor all around his leg area, his torso..and instead of a crescent moon and star as eyeholes in his mask, Mayonaka Piero had simple round holes...which both gleamed red with a blood lusting thirst. The part of the giant harlequin's hat that would have usually had bells on the end were replaced with two bright glowing stars both also glowed red. The towering harlequinn gave dastardly cackle which seemed to echo all over molecules surrounding the battle scene.
"Allow me to introduce you to Mayonaka Piero." said Twilight Prankster. "Also known as Midnight Clown...I debated on calling him Erik Jr. but Cobra has no sense of humor."
"You think you're the only one that can summon monsters to his bidding!?" said Diablo as he tore the glowing blue skull out of his chest. "Well face this!!"
Diablo threw the skull into the air. "Come out!! IMMITIS!!"
The skull grew massive as a skeleton grew out of it and the ginormous bones became cloaked with muscles and blue skin. Immiti's noseless, elyess wide jawed face emerged as a bladed horn came out of his head like a rhino.
"No mercy...nothing but relentless pain!!!" Immitis roared as he opened his wide jaws that were lined with razor sharp teeth. A massive molten beam of energy came out of the creature's mouth.
Midnight Clown cackled and waved his hands. Immediately the beam changed direction and collided with Immitis himself, who stumbled back grunting in pain.
In a blur of speed, Midnight Clown launched itself forward, cackling madly as rows of blades extended out of the ends of his arms and he began slicing and dicing at Immitis like a crazed tornado of slicing destruction.
"RRRAAAAARRRRRGHHHH!!!" Immitis gave a massive roar and punched Midnight Clown straight in the masked face, causing him to stumble back.
"You are strong..Edo-Night Reveler." said Diablo. "But you must know by no that you can defeat me...not even in a million years.
"You're right.." said Twilight Prankster. "You are stronger then I.But that doesn't mean I still can't give you a nice hard time right? After all..."
Twilight Prankster's eye holes glowed with malice.
"What knd of prankster would I be if I couldn't do that much?"
