Finally I got around to posting this chapter. I tried to make it as long as I could without going through to much of anything that you may already know from the show. The way i am writing this story is if Mikoto coming to the fairy tail world changes events in the future, and it is those changes each arc will focus on. If I dont mention something, or only slightly talk about it, you can assume that that particular event stayed the same. But if I go in detail or have Mikoto taking part, that is what the story is about. As it goes further and further down the story, this will happen more often. Becasue of this I am limited on how long I can make a chapter without just adding dull information. Also I could not change the ending of this story because i wanted to leave a cliffhanger and this was the perfect one. What happens next? Does Mikoto fail, or does someone help out? only i know and I will not say a word on it. So as always please enjoy this chapter and please leave a review that includes anything you think i can continue to change.
During the battles between the oracion seis members and the alliance, Mikoto and Touma stuck to watching them, and not interfering unless something bad that wasnt supposed to happen happened. They were lucky that none of that happened. Gray and Lyon beat Racer. Cobra had begun to follow Jellal, to the place that Jellal then activated Nirvana. Natsu brings Wendy to revive Erza, but not to long after Erza disappears to track down Jellal. Lucy with the help of Hibiki beats Angel and saved Natsu from his motion sickness. Jura had faced off against Hoteye, but then Hoteye switched sides. Then Nirvana was fully activated with Touma and Mikoto in the right place so that once it was completely activated, they were standing in the middle of Nirvanas city.
"So what do we do next?" Touma asks.
"Okays so from what I can remember, Natsu is going to be fighting Cobra in the sky, so none of us can help him with that." Mikoto tries to remember.
"I dont think we should get involved in the fight between Hoteye and Midnight or after that, Erza and jellal vs Midnight." Touma states.
"I think Im just going to watch the fight between Erza and Jellal vs Midnight. I want to speak to them after that fight. Can you go and join the Jura and the others that are going to fight brain? I dont think Imagine breaker will work against Nirvana, since its a vehicle using magic," Mikoto asks.
"Yeah sounds good to me, see you later zapper." Touma says and he turns and runs off to find Jura, lucy and grey. It doesnt take him long to find them. He arrives the moment Brain tries to attack the group, and Touma noticed that the attack was much stronger and faster than it should be. Jura was going to use his magic to prevent the attack, but instead Touam interrupted with his Imagine Breaker and stopped Brains attack.
"You again!" Brain exclaims, not getting even more annoyed. Touma looks over and notices Natsu motion sick body lying next to him and sighs outwardly.
"Well its only fair for me to interrupt seeing that you have one of my friends. Give him back and I will let you fight jura alone," Touma offers.
Brain only smiles at this and points his scepter at Natsu. He says, "How about I just kill him?" He charges up a piercing magic attack to kill Natsu. Even jura could not react fast enough, but Touma could. He may not be able to use magic, but he knows how to use his shield. He activates it, and pulls it off his arm and tosses it like a disk at the hits the sceptor dead one, knocking the attack away from Natsu. When the shield bounced back he was already close enough to grab it, strap it back to his arm, and hit Brain in the face with it. He was now firmly between Brain and Natsu, and brain kept trying to attack Natsu, but Toumas imagine breaker and shield blocked all attacks. Then out of nowhere a rock wall strikes Brain, drawing his attention away from Touma. Jura had joined the fight and together with Touma, Brain was easily overpowered. After healing Natsu, Wendy went away looking for jellal.
He was also with them when the person that the others thought was hoteye, told them where to find Midnight. When Natsu opened that fateful door, Touma shoved him behind him and put his right hand between all of them and the blast. His imagine breaker completely nullified all magic energy contained in the blast, but it could not do anything against the power behind the blast. Lucy, Natsu, happy and Gray were far enough back, but jura was right at Toumas side. He used his Magic to protect the fairy tail members except for Touma, because Touma did not need protection, in a rock wall but could do nothing else but take the blast himself. In the split second it took for this to happen, the blast had knocked Jura unconscious, but because of Toumas imagine breaker, it was not fatal. Touma realized that the blast was different than it should have been, as it was a lot larger. He slowly lowers Juras unconscious body to the ground as the others go to his side.
"Dont worry. He will be fine. He is just low on magic energy and unconscious. My imagine breaker took most of that blast." Touma explains, at that very moment Brains staff makes an appearance, calling itself the 7th member of Oracion Seis. After some confusion Gray and Natsu try to beat it up, to no success. Like they were having worse luck dealing with the staff then Touma does on a regular basis. Meanwhile Mikoto watches the fight between Erza and Midnight. She wasn't that surprised when Erza figured out all of the weaknesses to Midnight's magic, and was still not surprised when Erza broke through the Nightmare. Once the fight was over she walked down to Erza and Jellal.
"Great fight Erza!" Mikoto says.
"Thanks Mikoto. That was quite a show you put on earlier, revealing your power." Erza responds back.
"Yeah well I haven't done much since. I needed to save my energy for later. It's not good for an esper to stop using their ability for as long as I did and then go straight back to what it was. It gives them a chance to have a runaway a lot faster than normal." Mikoto explains.
"Whats runaway?" A voice asks. They all turn to see Wendy and Carla approaching. It was Wendy that had asked the question.
"It basically describes the moment an esper loses all control of their ability. Its power stays the same, but the esper can no longer control it. For most that means they are unable to use it at all, but for the ones with a stronger power, it means it will start acting on its own. That's what it does to me. Electrical current will fly through the air at extremely high voltage and I would be in constant pain, to the point where I struggle to move. I have had it happen to me more than once." Mikoto finishes explaining.
"What did you come to us for Wendy? Its obvious that you were looking for us," Erza asks Wendy.
"Well actually i meant to ask Jellal something. Do you remember me?" Wendy asks.
"Im sorry but i don't remember anything before this day," Jellal responds after a second of trying to remember. Wendy only looks down in sadness, and carla has something to say.
"What! That means you don't remember how to defeat Nirvana!" Carla exclaims
"Sorry but I already tried and failed," Jellal responds, despair in his voice.
"Dont worry wendy about Jellals memories of you. It's not personal, everything was wiped, even his memory of me." Erza explains. They were about to keep talking when suddenly Mikoto began to act weird. It was if she was just remembering something very bad.
"What is it Mikoto?" Erza asks, noticing the look on mikoto's face.
"Touma is in danger. All members of oracion seis are defeated, that means that their Master is now free to destroy everything. I have to get to Touma!" Mikoto explains, immediately using her ability to transport herself away.
Meanwhile Master Zero had made his appearance and was now facing up against Gray, lucy, happy, Natsu, and Touma.
"My first move will be to destroy the one who hurt this body when brain was in control!" Zero exclaims, sending one of his piercing magic attacks at Jura, aiming to kill him. But Touma gets in the way, putting his right hand up and neutralizing the spell. This surprises Zero long enough for Natsu and Gray to land a couple of blows but then before Touma can join them, Zero already dealt them enough damage to make them fall to the ground unconscious. He then tried to attack Lucy and Happy, but again Touma got in the way. Touma then activates his shield and charges Zero. But Zero now knew not to use magic against Touma, and proceed to beat Touma down in a physical fight. Then once he had a chance he launches a magic attack at Lucy and Happy, knocking them unconscious. He was about to try and finish Touma off when a lightning bolt flies into the room and hits Zero so hard that he flies into one of the remaining walls of the room they were in. He gets up to see Mikoto standing between him and the fallen Touma.
"You made the biggest Mistake of your life Zero, you hurt the man that I love. Now you will pay." Mikoto states, a sinister tone in her voice.
"You will have to beat me first child." Zero responds cockily.
"That wont be so hard." Mikoto replies and sends and begins her attacks. Firstly she uses her incredible speed to land blow after blow against Zero without even taking a hit in return. When he then starts to try and use magic to attack her, she easily counters with her own esper abilities. It was surprisingly a one sided fight, but Mikoto was drawing it out on purpose. Her anger had been released, and she wasn't going to let Zero get away without suffering a lot of pain after hurting Touma. She landed punch after punch of electrical energy against his side, slowly paralyzing his body. Then finally she launches a full power blast of electrical energy at him. Zero tries to block it with one of his magic spells, but the strength of Mikoto's attack was far beyond what he could even hope to stop, and he was sent flying out of the room in an instant.
"Are you okay?" Mikoto asks Touma, worry for him flashing through her eyes.
"Yeah I'm okay. Feel like i was hit by a train, but otherwise I'm okay." Touma says, trying to force himself to his feet. But his body was too tired and sore and he failed to get up.
"You don't look okay," Mikoto says worriedly.
"I'll be fine." Touma exclaims. Just at that moment, Nirvana stopped moving. Mikoto realizes that could only mean one thing. It was about to fire on Cait Shelter. They both could hear as its attack was charged and then fired. Mikoto even believed she could hear a faint scream coming from Wendy. Then she heard the explosions caused by the magic bomber Christinas attack.
"Go, help them in the bomber. Things have already begun to change around here than what we read about. Brain was stronger than he should have been and we both know that is not the only thing that changed, nor will it be the last. If that thing goes down anyway different than it would have originally they are all going to die. Use your powers to keep it in the air. You are the only one who can help them now Zapper," Touma begs.
"Okay, I will do that, but I will come back for you. Stay with someone here and once you get your strength back protect one of them. If Zero comes back and I'm not around you are the only one who can stand up to him for any amount of time." Mikoto finally responds after a moment's hesitation. She leans down to kiss his forehead before then transporting herself away. Meanwhile Hibiki was using his telepathy to explain to the rest of the alliance how they managed to get the bomber into the air again. Just afterwards, Shellys magic fails her, causing a domino effect to the others magic. The bomber was still right above the middle of Nirvana, and would not have a soft landing and would probably bring about a death of at least one of the alliance members.
"Oh no!" Wendy explains, fearing for their lives.
"Hang in there! Don't give up!" Erza yells out, hoping her words will inspire the members on the bomber to keep fighting.
"I guess I won't have time to explain the plan fully to all of you so I will be quick," Hibiki states, the stress of keeping his own magic going evident in his voice.
"No! You will have all the time I can provide you!" A voice says in the telepathy. Erza immediately recognizes the voice as Mikoto's as a huge lightning bolt strikes Christina. Hibiki couldn't believe his eyes, as right in front of him Mikoto was using her full power on the bomber itself to create a large magnetic field that kept the bomber at its exact same altitude. To do this she was standing on top of the bomber holding onto it and putting all of her power into it.
"Explain everything Hibiki! Do it now!" Mikoto exclaims, knowing that she could not keep it up forever, even if she went level 6. Either way she had to stay at level 5 or else using level 6 powers to do this may just cause the bomber to blow up.
Hibiki does as he was told and explains the whole plan to everyone. They need to destroy 6 lacrima at the same time within 20 minutes, and for that they needed 6 members to do so. Zero even interrupted the telepath to say that he was going to be waiting at a lacrima to kill anyone who tried to destroy it. As Zero broke off his connection, the rest of the alliance tried to plead with Natsu, Lucy, and Gray to get up. They manage to do so, and choose their respective lacrima. Natsu had chosen Lacrima 1 and Mikoto knew that's where Zero would be, presumably healed from her fight against him. Touma had decided to travel with Lucy to the lacrima, as she was in no condition to fight zero if she came across him. Then, something bad happens. Mikoto begins to lose power, and the bomber begins to slowly fall out of the sky. Everyone watched in horror as they could all see the bomber from their location.
"Mikoto!" Touma yells out in horror, knowing that she would not leave that bomber till she knew everyone else was safe. Yet everyone on the bomber was completely exhausted and could not also had no magic power left to defend themselves against the landing. Then at the moment Mikoto's esper ability was about to fail her, something happened.
Define your meanin' of fun
To me it's what we do when we're bored
I feel the heat comin' off of the blacktop
And it makes me want it more
Because I'm hyped up, outta control
If it's a fight I'm ready to go
I wouldn't put my money on the other guy
If you know what I already know
It's been a long time comin'
And the table's turned around
'Cause one of us is goin'
One of us is goin' down
I'm not runnin'
It's a little different now
'Cause one of us is goin'
One of us is goin' down
Define your meanin' of fun
To me it's when we're gettin' done
I feel the heat comin' off of the blacktop
So get ready for another one
Let's take a trip down memory lane
The words circulate in my brain
You can treat this like another all I'm sayin'
But don't cry like a bitch when you feel the pain
It's been a long time comin'
And the table's turned around
Cause one of us is goin'
One of us is goin' down
I'm not runnin'
It's a little different now
'Cause one of us is goin'
One of us is goin' down
This is hardly worth fightin' for
But it's the little petty shit that I can't ignore
When my fist hits your face
And your face hits the floor
It'll be a long time comin'
But you got the message now
'Cause I was never goin'
Yeah, you're the one that's goin' down
One of us is goin' down
It's been a long time comin'
And the table's turned around
Cause one of us is goin'
One of us is goin' down
I'm not runnin'
It's a little different now
'Cause one of us is goin'
One of us is goin' down
One of us is goin' down
