Mikoto slowly looked around as the battle raged. She readied herself, closing her eyes, calming herself. She slowly spread her legs, raising her right arm, her left hand between her breast touching the metallic orbit hung around her neck. The orb of heaven said to be a piece of heaven given to her by Orn.
An original angel, one of the first created by their master, before the modern angels were created. He'd given it to her to stop the Archangel Michael from destroying the earth. It freed her from the limitations of being earthbound, shredding the shackles of her reality. She defeated the Archangel Michael.
She ran her fingers over the warm orb and grinned. She nodded to her waiting elites. The barrier rolled out like a tidal surge. The electricity cracking, popping, crushing as it plowed over her enemies, leaving dust lifting over the bloodied bodies. The air at her feet brushed along the dirt, coiled around her body like a serpent over her tight black armor lifting strands of her long brown hair, her smile widened, her dark red eyes opened, the color of the blood Moon. Electricity rolled along her arm to her hand to the tips of her fingers shooting across the air, a thunderous roar followed. the white-hot blast struck the meat of his thigh, the stench of burning flesh and the sound of sizzling meat mixed with the sounds of battle. Bahamuth raised his head, roared in pain. He released his hold on Katrina's dragons form, her body turning human, fell to the earth. Ruiko rushed forward with her arms raised, her hand spread wide using magic to slow her descent.
Bahamuth's leg exploded just above his knee, flying off behind him hitting the ground and rolled until it stopped. Unfortunately, or not, it rolled over, crushing many of his forces. His massive body teetered with nowhere to go but to obey the laws of gravity. He dropped crushing more of his forces as they scrambled to safety. He roared as he fell, hitting the ground, hot wind and dust rushed from underneath his wounded form like a desert dust storm. Raspy painful low growling carried on the copper colored dust.
When it cleared, she could see his cold dark eyes focused on her where she stood with head cocked, eyes just as cold. He slowly opened his mouth, a magical array form. He was about to use dragons' breath. A massive bright white ball formed in his mouth, getting bigger.
"Too late…" Mikoto said, clicking her tongue.
A white-hot blast exploded from her hand, hitting Bahamuth between the eyes, blowing out the back of his head. His body jerked, slumped lifeless like a sack of spoiled meat. She turned her attention to the other beast charging, humanoid, broad horns of the bull curved up to the sky, a bluish ball of fire between them. The face of a bull with huge elephant tusks, heavy shoulders wrapped in scales, its chest covered armor plating, thick heavy scaled legs broke the ground, charging towards them like an Olympian sprinter A blue spear glowing between its bull like horns.
"Bye…" She said without any emotion firing another white-hot blast.
It struck his chest, chunky red explosion from his back, killing him instantly. He ran for a few more meters before its body tumbled, rolled and stopped. the blast taking out many of his forces rushing behind him.
Suddenly a massive ground explosion sending tons of debris into the atmosphere.
Mikoto looked up to the sky, another Dragon. This one large like a Komodo lizard with large leathery wings attached at the shoulders, smaller sets of wings on its hips, its armored tail curled towards her, its massive mouth opened wide and magical arrays formed at both end as it ready to fire again. Mikoto thinning her eyes, fired lightening from her long beautiful bangs as a bright blue explosion resonated from its tail. It fired again. Their shot struck each other, exploding in a brighter than bright light.
"Crap!" Mikoto quickly covered her eyes, "Can't see… Dammit…"
She dropped her head, covering her eyes with her hand, took a deep breath as she wiped her eyes, looking up quickly blinking, "where is it!" She yelled. No answer.
She could hear the firing of the gauss mini rail guns. The ugly thud of small projectiles hitting flesh faster than the speed of sound. She cleared her vision, looking to the sky. The flying Dragon was in retreat, miles away. "Bitch…" Mikoto growled, taking her stance. "Fly all you want but unless you're in another world… I've gotcha…" She said clicking her tongue.
Dust swirled around her heavy black boots, up her legs, around her waist, the ends of her hair fluttered, electricity coiled around her right arm towards her hand, to the tip of her fingernails. The roar of white-hot explosion, a long streak of burning air, a deathblow looking to split the Dragon in half longways. Suddenly, it swerved. "What!?" Mikoto said as her eyes went wide in surprise, "how? Miscalculation?" Her voice waned, watching its vector altering at the last moment. "Impossible?!"
But despite being off the mark, instead of cutting it in half, its rear leg and right wing tumbled away as it dropped to the ground.
A rumbling. The ground shook cracked and broke as the earth suddenly surged.
"Mikoto!" She yelled. Mikoto surprised by the familiar voice turned to see the portal open. With his death, Bahamuth's magic no longer existed.
Anastasia yelled. Gabriella ran caring Katrina in her arms, Ruiko quickly followed. "Hurry! The portals collapsing." Ruiko Saten yelled over her shoulder, "you need too…" she didn't need to finish her sentence. Mikoto knew.
"Retreat!" she screamed looking around to her Elites. The battle still raging. Her small forces overextended, "now… That's an order! "She raised her hand over her head. "One… Two…" They all turned, ran towards the portal, "three!" Mikoto screamed, clenching her hand into a fist.
A massive electrical storm rolled over a cloudless sky, lightning crashed, sending wave after wave of electricity coursing through air and earth. She turned to run, "what the…"
T(he ground's surging… Little Misaka spoke…)
she is little Misaka. the avatar born of the blood and venom of Anastasia Von Alucard and the blood of Mikoto Misaka.
"That's not me…" Mikoto said as she ran. (Something is coming up…there… Little Misaka said, quickly blow it!)
She didn't finish her statement.
The ground burst, filling the sky with a blinding dark dust. A shadowy darkness slipped along the dark heavy cloud of dust, her small forces swallowed in the debris. Thick heavy dust and debris tumbled to the ground as it rose from the depths and roared. A painful low moan played along the debris. A behemoth rising from the depths.
(Another one?! shit that surprised me!)
Mikoto could see her comrades flailing like puppets without strings. A large black mouth opened in the dust and swallowed them like treats.
"Nooooo!" she clenched her jaws, "Nooooooo!" electricity shot across the ground. Mikoto rushed forward into the dark cloud raised her hand and fired, "don't you dare!" Her railgun shot through the cloud, the dust exploded. The density of the dust was thick enough to catch fire and explode. A miscalculation on Mikoto's part. But they were vampires. She knew they'd recover.
The unexpected large shockwave hit her, she gasped, losing her breath, dropped to her knee, readied herself for the next impact. A painful roar filled her ears. Another explosion and heavy wet thud of something hitting the ground like hail. The heavy whump shook the ground.
(you took its head off! little misaka chuckled, i love the smell of burning flesh in the morning.)
Mikoto's ears rang, her eyes blurred, and her forces scattered, crawled across the rocks in confusion. "Hurry!" She heard Anastasia's voice in the deafening silence.
Mikoto raised her head, her vision clouded from the dust and procession of the shockwave, glanced over to the portal.
Emma and Sylvia fighting to hold Anastasia, her elder wolves doing their best as Anastasia raged, screaming her name, trying to get through the portal.
Another explosion and the soil lifted as a large snake like head rose from underneath, lifting with it the bloody stump. "two heads…" Mikoto gasped, watching it rise through the dust. The rays of the twin suns gave an eerie yellow glow around its shadowy form. (really! can it get any worse!)
She quickly took a deep breath, snarled, rush towards it, iron sand quickly forming to her hand, vibrating like a chainsaw.
"Mikoto… No… The portal…" She ignored her cries. Mikoto leapt, running across the vertical face of the plateau, jumping on its back, raised her arm. The whip rose high into the air, snapped down, cleaving its head in two.
Another large explosion sent her flying, hitting the ground, rolled and tumbled until she stopped.
She was on her knees looking down, coughing and choking, wiped the blood from her mouth as she raised her head. She was farther away from the portal. A wry smile hung on her mouth seeing Anastasia fighting everyone.
"Damn…" Mikoto said softly in resolve. She shook her head to clear her thoughts and rose to her feet. Started running towards the portal. Each step was faster than the previous, each breath deeper than the previous. Her eyes focused as the portal runes flickered. "It will be close…"
From the corner of her eye, the ground move, "another?" She said. (No… Little Misaka quickly spoke, too small.) "Stephanie!" Alexis yelled from the portal.
The small dirty figure slowly staggered caked in blood and dirt.
"Crap…" Mikoto said, changing direction, "gotta get her… Alexis will never forgive me." Another dark form rose from the debris. She stood up, shaking her head, looking around in confusion. "Another?" Mikoto smiled dryly.
"Cana" she yelled to the dazed little vampire. "RUN!" She obeyed. Taking her first step towards the portal, dragging her right leg. "She'll never make it…"
Mikoto rushed over, snatched Stephanie by the collar and threw her like a center fielder throwing a runner out at home plate. Her tiny body tumbled in the air, hit the ground,
bounced.
(she'll survive).
Alexis screamed Stephanie's name, rushed out from the portal, catching her, turned and threw her through it. (runners out…little Misaka chuckled. Man, I do love a good baseball game.)
"Cana!" Alexis yelled," Hurry!" bending over holding her arms out like she was a small child running toward her.
Mikoto caught up to Cana. The little vampire caked in blood, sweat and dirt, looked at Mikoto with begging distressed eyes. She knew what the little girls was thinking. Foolish little girl. A warmth spread over Mikoto. she remembered the first time she'd found her.
(Reminisce later.) Mikoto chuckled. You can be such an ass.
"Go mistress!" The little vampire spoke. Her worry evident in her eyes. Mikoto smiled softly, "not without you… Cana."
A quick soft smile appeared on the little girls face but just as quick Cana shook her head, "no… You mustn't…" Mikoto interrupted, "I'm the Queen...,"
she wrapped her small body in her arms, spun around like a discus thrower, "tell everyone…" She whispered into her tiny ear, "I love them all…" throwing her like a discuss.
Alexis watched as she rocketed towards her, her eyes getting wider, "oh shit… She's not going to bounce…" She was right.
Little Cana slammed into her chest, pushing them both through the portal. It flickered a few times, the runes of the magical array slowly stopped turning.
Mikoto ran faster and faster. Anastasia screaming, Emelia screaming. She felt their fear, their pain and then it was gone.
