Okay so sorry about the long wait for this chapter. I could not decide how to end it but i think i have a good ending now. So this is a chapter all about fun so hopefully you all enjoy it. The next chapter should be up in a week unless something happens. On that note please enjoy the chapter and leave a review on what you think can be improved or on what you liked.
It has been three days since Mikoto had showed the guild her level 6 powers. During these last three days, Mikoto has spent her time either going on jobs with Touma, or training Wendy. She was focusing on training Wendy because of the huge potential Wendy had hidden inside of her. Her Sky dragon slayer magic if used correctly and at its best could be one of the strongest dragon slayer magics in the world, and Mikoto wanted to make that happen. So she had spent parts of everyday training with Wendy, and was glad to see that Wendy was a fast learner, like all other dragon slayers. She had managed to learn copies of almost all of Natsus attacks, except the secret arts. The strong point of Wendys magic was its full control of the area around her. She could use it to make herself go faster, keep opponents away from her, and cause high damaging winds to her opponents. This made Wendys magic extremely powerful and Mikoto discovered something else that made it even more powerful. She knew about dragon force, and the power that it could bring to a dragon slayer, but she also knew it needed a very specific situation to be used. So she was shocked to see Wendy growing stronger whenever she ate the air after Mikoto used an electricity attack. Thats when she figured it out. Her electricity was condensing the air and putting all of the ethernanos contained in it, into a more condensed state. This allowed wendy to absorb more ethernanos when eating the air, thus making her stronger. In theory, if Mikoto condensed the air enough, than their should be enough condensed ethernanos in the air to cause Wendy to go into dragon force. But this was just a theory and was not something to be proven just yet, because tomorrow is the day for something special. It was the annual 24 hour endurance race that all fairy tail members have to participate in. So today Touma and Mikoto spent the day preparing. Mikoto didnt feel like she had a need, since she could use her ability to move at the speed of light, but she was doing this to help Touma prepare. He wasnt bad at running long distances but he had never run anything over a couple miles before. After a long day of endurance training they returned to the guild hall, with Touma breathing very heavily.
"It looks like someone has been preparing for the race," Makarov states, watching them enter.
"Why do I have to run that far again?" Touma wheezes as Mikoto gets him water.
"Because you have to participate in a 24 hour race. Of course its going to be a far distance and I cant have you come in last," Mikoto replies, handing him the water which he guzzles down quickly.
"How have you been doing with the preparations Mikoto?" Makarov asks.
"Its harder than I expected running for that long, not because its tiring but because its boring. Im used to endurance training because of Raiden but that doesnt mean i enjoy it," Mikoto responds.
"But your young. You should find enjoyment in everything you can," Makarov says.
Mikotos sighs at this. Just because she was young does not mean she doesnt know the truth about the world she was born into. This world may be different, but that wont erase her experiences.
"Somethings are no longer enjoyable after what I know the world to be capable of," Mikoto responds.
"Have you lost faith in humanity?" Makarov asks.
"No. My willingnes to fight to save others should prove that. I have lost my trust in humanity, which is different. The ones around me are the ones keeping me from losing faith. You cant lose faith when you have someone like Touma at your side everyday," Mikoto responds, finishing her statement with a smile and a glance towards Touma.
"Well I suggest you get back to your preparations, either of you want to lose, or you will suffer the punishment," Makarov responds with a mischievous grin.
"Im not going to lose, and hopefully Touma wont either."
The next day, the race was going to start. The whole guild was lined up ready to go. Natsu was boasting about a new plane he had to win, while Jet was telling Levy to watch him at the start. Then Mikoto walked over to stand close to him.
"Lets see who is faster. Flying may not be allowed but I can run as fast as light itself, so I dont think you have a chance this year Jet," Mikoto says.
"Really? Well we have never seen you run that fast so until i see it im going to assume you are slower than me." Jet counters. Mikoto only smiles, with the look saying that it was a challenge. When the gun was shot to signal the start, they both darted forward as fast as they could. At first they were just as fast as each other until Mikoto bursted ahead using her powers to make her faster. Still they both left the rest of the competition in their dust, forcing them to play catch up. Surprisingly for Touma he was in the middle of that group. Thats when everyone started using their magic to slow down the others. Grey used his magic to cause everyone to slip and slid, but Touma negated it using Imagine breaker. Freed tried to trap Touma and some others through a script trap but again Touma negated it. Still Natsu pulled ahead of this small group along with Erza, Gajeel and Grey. Touma would have stayed in the middle of the pack, but then his bad luck caught up to him and he tripped and went tumbling down a hill that took him away from the course. Meanwhile Happy, Wendy, and Carla kept going, slightly trailing the main pack. Back at the front of the race, once Mikoto believes she is far enough ahead she slows down and sets some traps using her Summoning Magic. Wolves, bears, Large Snakes, Raptors, even a Rex were Summoned and told to hide and ambush other competitors. Then she continued forward, leaving her summons to do their job. The first one to fall prey was Jet, who ran into the Raptor pack.
"What in the hell?!" He yelled out as one raptor leaped on him while the others surrounded him. He threw off the first, but the raptors were just as fast as he was and he could not escape by running. He had to fight his way through, and that was not going well for him. In fact the Raptors began to toy with him, easily dodging his strike while the ones that would do damage were instead used to deal damage to Jet. The only thing that saved jet from being stopped right there was that the Raptors sensed another competitor and left to torture that person. Natsu was the one who ran into the Rex, forced to fight his way past that opponent. Erza came across the wolves but she easily dealt with them and kept on running even passing Natsu as he dealt with the Rex. Grey came across some of the bears, and he too had an easy time with them. Lucy was the unlucky one, as she was now running from a very large snake and in the opposite direction she was supposed to be going. Touma had made his way back on the trail, and was surprisingly not in last place. 9 hours into the race Mikoto makes it too the mountain and collects her scale. Their she left some pteranodons to guard the stones. Jet was again the first one to come across them, but he used his speed to get past and grab a scale. Natsu, Grey, and Erza dealt with the Pteranodons by beating up any that attacked them but the rest of the guild did not fare well in this fight. Somehow in the confusion Touma, Wendy, Carla, and Happy slipped through and got scales, but Happy was then being chased by a pteranodon. The next morning, everyone was on the final leg of the race. Mikoto arrives at the finish line at the 20 hour mark, well ahead of everyone else. But she does not cross the line, instead opting to troll her guild mates.
"What are you doing Mikoto?! You can win this!" Makarov yells out, surprised to see her doing this.
"You told me to enjoy life while I can. Im doing that now. Lets see who can get past me." Mikoto replies grinning happily.
"You plan on stopping others from reaching the finish line?" Mirajane asks.
"Yep. Thats the plan," Mikoto pulls a coin out of her pocket, holding it in her hand and waiting for her first opponent. Just her luck that the first person she saw wasnt even a single person. It was the group of Natsu, Erza, Grey, Gajeel, and Jet. The moment they saw Mikoto, it was already too late. Mikoto fires her Railgun, with the others barely having any time to react. Grey managed to get an ice wall between them, and it barely stopped the attack.
"Mikoto! What are you doing?" Erza yells out.
"The first one past me wins, its that simple. I have not crossed the line yet," Mikoto replies.
"Well that should be easy," Jet states and tries to use his speed magic to rush past her. But he is met by a large electrical blast that sends him back to the others. As the others rushed forward, Mikoto decided on a different course of action.
"Summoning Magic!: Guardian!"
"She wouldn't!" Grey exclaims. A huge magic circle is created in front of them, and from it, out steps the Giga. Once it is fully summoned, it looks back at Mikoto, as if it was questioning why it was summoned.
"I thought it would be nice to have a little fun for a change. Don't let them get past you Giga." Mikoto says. The gigas lips curl, as if it was laughing and it turned to face the others again.
"Get ready! We have not faced a beast like this one before!" Erza yells out to the others.
The giga charged forward, swiping its claws at the wizards. Natsu and Grey dodged while Erza blocked with her Adamantine armor. Grey tried to freeze the giga in place but it easily broke through the ice. Natsu and Gajeel tried to beat it with their dragon slaying magic, but it did nowhere near the damage they had hoped for. The battle lasts long enough for the next group of fairy tail members to catch group consisted of Happy in the front, Wendy and carla behind him, and Touma behind them. Surprisingly they made it past the Giga without it even looking at them. That was the Gigas weakness, it would always over focus on certain targets, becoming unaware of its surroundings. But they still had to deal with Mikoto. This would have proved a challenge, but Mikoto decided to let them pass without even trying to stop them. So she then walked across the line after them taking third place. Then she called out to Erza and the others.
"Well I hope you all had fun! Giga Return!" Mikoto yells out, summing the giga. Before they could realize why Mikoto unsummoned it, they were run over by the rest of the fairy tail guild. The last ones across the line ended up being Natsu, Grey, Gajeel, and Jet, who all came across the line at the same time, with erza getting across just before them. When the punishment was revealed to be dressing up for sorcerer weekly in dressy clothes, the guys took off, apparently still having enough energy to run away. The festivities continued for the rest of the day, giving the town and the guild all the time they could want to have fun after the recent events. As it began to get dark Mikoto got an idea. She only performed once in front of a live crowd, but that time was very successful so maybe it would be fun in this world. She walks over to Makarov and Mirajane to mention her idea.
"What do you need Mikoto?" Makarov asks, looking up from his drink.
"Back in my world I did a concert. I would like to give that a try if its okay with you," Mikoto asks.
"Sure! Today is all about fun so I think that would be a great way to close out the night!" Makarov says.
Mikoto nods her head and gets to work setting everything up. The stage was already provided so all she had to do was summon in the speakers and the headset she would be using. Also she used her summoning magic to change the clothes she was wearing into something a little fancier than the sport outfit she had on. The short shorts and fancy crop top she now had fit a concert in her mind. Eventually everything was set up and the crowd had gathered. Most of the fairy tail members were in the crowd except for the guys that had run off. She looks down and sees Touma at the front giving her a look of encouragement. This was all she needed to start. (the song is shatter me by lindsey Stirling so listen to it to get the sound)
She lets the music go for a little bit and then Mikoto begins to sing perfectly, "I pirouette in the dark"
"I see the stars through me" a slight pause
"Tired mechanical heart"
"Beats til the song disappears" the song picks up along with Mikotos voice
"Somebody shine a light"
"I'm frozen by the fear in me"
"Somebody make me feel alive"
"And shatter me"
"So cut me from the line"
"Dizzy, spinning endlessly"
"Somebody make me feel alive"
"And shatter me!" The base drops along with a pause from Mikotos singing
"Shatter me!"
"Somebody make me feel alive"
"And shatter me!"
The song slows down along with mikotos singing"If only the clockworks could speak"
"I wouldn't be so alone"
"We burn every magnet and spring"
"And spiral into the unknown"
The spong picks up again along with Mikotos singing, "Somebody shine a light"
"I'm frozen by the fear in me"
"Somebody make me feel alive"
"And shatter me"
"So cut me from the line"
"Dizzy, spinning endlessly"
"Somebody make me feel alive"
"And shatter me!" another base drop and pause in the singing.
"Shatter me!" another base drop
"Somebody make me feel alive"
"And shatter me!
Mikoto increases the intensity of her singing, putting her emotions into this next bit "If I break the glass, then I'll have to fly"
"There's no one to catch me if I take a dive"
"I'm scared of changing, the days stay the same"
"The world is spinning but only in gray"
"If I break the glass, then I'll have to fly"
"There's no one to catch me if I take a dive"
"I'm scared of changing, the days stay the same":
"The world is spinning but only in gray"
(Only)
Another pause in the singing then a base drop with the singing continuing, "Somebody shine a light"
"I'm frozen by the fear in me"
"Somebody make me feel alive"
"And shatter me"
"So cut me from the line"
"Dizzy, spinning endlessly"
"Somebody make me feel alive"
"And shatter me!" another base drop.
"Shatter me!"
"Somebody make me feel alive"
"And shatter meeeeeeee!" Mikoto finishes the first song and is happy to hear everyone cheering. They had loved it and that made her so happy, but she wasnt done.
Another song starts but this time it was Runnin by Adam Lambert
Mikoto starts to sing, "Steel to my tremblin' lips"
"How did the night ever get like this?"
"One shot and the whiskey goes down, down, down"
"Bottom of the bottle hits"
Waking up my mind as I throw a fit
"The breakin' is takin' me down, down, down"
Her singing picks up a little, "My heart's beating faster"
"I know what I'm after"
"I've been standing here my whole life"
"Everything I've seen twice"
"Now it's time I realized"
"It's spinning back around now"
"On this road I'm crawlin'"
"Save me 'cause I'm fallin'"
"Now I can't seem to breathe right"
"'Cause I keep runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin'"
"Runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin'"
"Runnin' from my heart"
She slows down her singing again to the tune of the song,"'Round and around I go"
"Addicted to the numb livin' in the cold"
"The higher, the lower, the down, down, down"
"Sick of being tired and sick"
"And ready for another kind of fix"
"The damage is damning me down, down, down"
Again it picks up, "My heart's beating faster"
"I know what I'm after"
"I've been standing here my whole life"
"Everything I've seen twice"
"Now it's time I realized"
"It's spinning back around now"
"On this road I'm crawlin'"
"Save me 'cause I'm fallin'"
"Now I can't seem to breathe right"
"'Cause I keep runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin'"
"Runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin'"
"Runnin' from my heart"
She tone changes slightly, "Oh, I'm coming alive"
"Oh, I'll wake up now and live"
"Oh, I'm coming alive"
"A life that's always been a dream"
"I'll wake up now and live"
She takes it slow with this part, "I've been standing here my whole life"
"My heart's beating faster"
"I know what I'm after" again she picks it up
"I've been standing here my whole life"
"Everything I've seen twice"
"Now it's time I realized"
"It's spinning back around now"
"On this road I'm crawlin'"
"Save me 'cause I'm fallin'"
"Now I can't seem to breathe right"
"'Cause I keep runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin'"
"Runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin'"
"Runnin' from my heart"
"'Cause I keep runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin'"
"Runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin'"
"Runnin' from my heart" Mikoto ends it to another round of applause. She still had one more song to perform and this one was Light em up by fallout boy.
As the music starts to play Mikoto decides to keep her singing in this song fast and exciting.
"Ooh oh oh oh, ooh oh oh oh"
"Be careful making wishes in the dark"
"Can't be sure when they've hit their mark"
"And besides in the meantime I'm just dreaming of tearing you apart"
"I'm in the details with the devil"
"So now the world can never get me on my level"
"I just got to get you out of the cage"
"I'm a young lovers rage"
"Gonna need a spark to ignite"
"My songs know what you did in the dark"
"So light em up up up, light em up up up,"
"light em up up up, I'm on fire"
"So light em up up up, light em up up up,"
"light em up up up, I'm on fire"
"Ooh oh oh oh (In the dark, in the dark)"
"Ooh oh oh oh (In the dark, in the dark)"
"All the writers keep writing what they write"
"Somewhere another pretty vein just dies"
"I've got the scars from tomorrow and I wish you could see"
"That you're the antidote to everything except for me"
"A constellation of tears on your lashes"
"Burn everything you love"
"Then burn the ashes"
"In the end everything collides"
"My childhood spat back the monster that you see"
"My songs know what you did in the dark"
"So light em up up up, light em up up up,"
"light em up up up, I'm on fire"
"So light em up up up, light em up up up,"
"light em up up up, I'm on fire"
"Ooh oh oh oh (In the dark, in the dark)"
"Ooh oh oh oh (In the dark, in the dark)"
"My songs know what you did in the dark"
"My songs know what you did in the dark"
"So light em up up up, light em up up up,"
"light em up up up, I'm on fire"
"So light em up up up, light em up up up,"
"light em up up up, I'm on fire
"Ooh oh oh oh (In the dark, in the dark)
Ooh oh oh oh (In the dark, in the dark)
Ooh oh oh" She finished to another round of applause and this one being the last of the day. Once it was clear to the crowd that that was it, they slowly began to leave. The fairy Tail members crowded around Mikoto, either praising her or saying that they did not know she could sing. Mikotos little concert was a wonderful ending to a very interesting day.
