What makes this Mikoto Misaka more dangerous then any other enemy? Well, I'm not sure I can definitely answer that question without sounding like we're way over our head facing her.. It's not her extensive magic power.. or inner hollow, or even her status as a Level 5 that makes her exceedingly dangerous no.. every power has a weakness.. and that can always be exploited. However, what makes her dangerous isn't the power she's gained.. but an ability she's displayed throughout her entire story... she has shown that no matter what pain or heartbreak she experiences.. she is able to remain strong... even if she loses it for just a moment.. she gets back up and becomes fiercer and stronger then even the greatest hurricane. That is why I fell for her... and I want her more and more everyday.. she shall be my Lance..

"ROAR OF THE THUNDER DRAGON!!!" Mikoto opened her mouth and fired off a powerful beam of lightning at Cuvis.

Cuvis opened his three jaws and a massive avalanche of blood exploded out like a tidal wave.. sizzling and bubbling with intense boiling heat.

The tidal wave exploded into the lightning blast as Cuvis dredged his way quickly through the bloody attack, his three heads hissing as they did.

Mikoto flew into the air, her expression determined and now completely unafraid.. this was how things were.. this was battle, pure and simple.. the nature of war, the nature of everything.. the nature of survival.. she never needed an inner hollow to see that.. she would use this fight to grow stronger.. and therefore be able to better protect everyone she loved..

Mikoto took two coins from her pockets and rested them on both her thumbs, taking aim. "SECRET ART: TWIN DRAGON RAILGUN!!!"

There was a sonic boom, and both coins blasted toward's cuvis, turning into two large dragon heads made of pure lightning that exploded into Cuvis's armored hide.

But the three headed monster powered through the blast and jumped up, back handing Mikoto into the floor below with a sickening crash.

"Silly girl!" Said Jimmy the middle head. "You shoulda' used that mask of yours.. with every hit.. we devour all dat energy you've got in ya...making ya weaker with every blow.. now you'll be too weak to to summon that mask when ya need it!"

Mikoto got up, wiping blood from her chin as she panted tiredly. Cuvis was right, Mikoto could feel a large portion of her energy had just drained away from that attack.. but she had a few tricks of her own...

Mikoto let a whip of lightning lash out of her hand, which was immediately sucked into her own mouth. Immediately she felt energy return to her body as she ate her esper lightning, replenishing the dragon side of her power as well as granting much needed strength to her body.

Cuvis looked stunned.

"That girl ain't right." said the left head Baris. "Let's kill her quickly, forget about her screams.. we can always imagine em in our head!"

"No no!" said Aronis, the right head "We must have her screams.. we must eat her alive.."

"In that case.. LET'S EAT HER RIGHT HERE!!!" All of Cuvis's heads roared at once. "BLOOD RAZER!!!"

Cuvis opened his three jaws, and three intense geysers of boiling hot blood exploded towards Mikoto.

Mikoto flew into the air at break neck speeds. dodging the geysers of boiling blood as they tore through the walls around the chamber, blasting apart and reducing many of the bodies hanging from the cieling to dust.

Mikoto's body exploded with lightning as her wings spread wide and she shot like a bullet straight into Cuvis's armored gut. "SWORD HORN OF THE THUNDER DRAGON!!!!"

Cuvis let out a surprised choke as he was rammed straight into the wall on the other end of the room.

There were explosions of dust, debree and other uncountable things as Mikoto blasted Cuvis through multiple walls, rooms and halls..

"CRUSHING FANG OF THE THUNDER DRAGON!!!" Mikoto attacked the dazed Cuvis in mid air with her lighting engulfed palms and smashed him into the floor.

Some random Arrancar, probably Fracciones, ran away in a panic, recognizing Cuvis and fearing for their own lives..

Mikoto landed on to of Cuvis's gut, shooting down like a meteor, and kicking him into the ground.. causing rubble to explode out around them.

"ROAR OF THE THUNDER DRAGON!!!" Mikoto opened her mouth and let out a close range roar straight into Cuvis's body.

Mikoto then leapt back and whirled around with her hands outstretched, sending an electric charge throughout the entire demolished hall and rooms.. Iron sand raged out of the surrounding area like a block cloud, engulfing Cuvis..

"Here's a spell that only an Electromaster Esper Dragon Slayer can perform.. IRON PRISON OF THE THUNDER DRAGON!!!"

The iron sand converged on Cuvis with incredible speed, immediately trapping the Arrancar in a crushing Iron Sphere that levitated in the air.. the moment the iron had fully compacted itself into the crushing sphere.. the iron sphere was alit with a tremendous electric charge.. further barraging the creature inside with incredible damage.

"And that's the end of you.. Cuvis Devorador." Mikoto growled.

She couldn't have been more wrong...

Suddenly the sphere glowed molten hot as the iron melted off into liquid and Cuvis forced his way out, his three heads baring their rotting fangs rageful vengence, his claws engulfed in tremendous heat.

"Hirviendo Garra Sangre" said the Baris head as Cuvis held up one of his glowing extremely heated claws. "These claws can slice through any Hierro, any flesh.. problem is.. it burns our cooking sometimes.. I'd rather use a microwave.."

"Now now.." said the Jimmy head. "You know I don't really mind having em' nice and crispy.."

Mikoto couldn't help but feel bewildered as she beheld the fact that there wasn't any kind of visible damage on Cuvis's body.. what was this guy made of?!

"Our turn to get serious!!! EH BOYS!!?" Cuvis opened his three jaws. "CERO RENEGADO!!"

Three massive yellow ceros exploded out of Cuvis's jaws and merged into one collosal cero that tore up the walls and cieling around it as it blasted towards Mikoto.

Mikoto shielded herself with her wings as the blast forced her back through several walls until suddenly, she found herself outside, being thrown into a large sandy expanse of a desert, a sands whirling around her..

"D-day light?" Mikoto muttered in confusion as she opened her wings and stared up at the fake cloudy blue sky created by the dome roof of Las Noches.

Suddenly, the part of the inner wall of Las Noches that Mikoto had just exploded through blew into dust as Cuvis roared out, lashing his molten claws at Mikoto who barely managed to dodge.. however one claw tip raked her side, and she screamed out in pain as she felt the burning molten claw burn a scar in her side.

She fell into the sand, clutching her side as she felt some sort of poisonous painful energy course through her blood stream.. paralyzing her..

"Oh don't worry, Carnivoro's scars dissapear after a few minutes." said Baris's head as Cuvis trudged through the sand towards Mikoto. "We like to eat prey that looks perfectly unscathed before we start cutting at it.... but the internal damage won't heal.. that's the beauty of it.. ya look just as pretty as when ya came.. and ya still won't be able to move a finger cause you're so darn injured in reality.. can't do anything about the injuries we already gave ya though"

"Yeah!" said Aronis's head. "Your body is also going numb from our special poison see? It doesn't kill but it does make ya feel absolutely helpless doesn't it? What an arrogant girl.. trying to grow stronger by fighting us without that mask! You're a real dimbo!"

"It's the only way.." Mikoto muttered as she struggled to move. "To be strong enough to beat all the others.."

"Maybe so.." said Jimmy's voice. "But it ain't gonna happen by fighting someone like us!"

"DINNER TIME!!!" All the heads roared as they converged on Mikoto.

Suddenly there was a flash of a blade, and blood spurted out of Cuvis's chest. The monster yowled out in surprised pain as an armored red haired girl came to stand in between Mikoto and Cuvis.

"Touch even a single hair on her head again.." said Erza Scarlet. "And I will end you in the most painful way possible.."

"Erza!?" Mikoto couldn't believe her eyes. And not just that.. the expression on Erza's face was positively frightening.

"Whose da girl!?" Jimmy growled.

"She looks mighty tasty." said Baris. "Think we can have a bite!? Her skin looks awfully soft too!"

"So.." said Erza. "Can any of you tell me who did that to Mikoto?"

Erza pointed a finger at the bloody cuts and bite marks on Mikoto's body.

"Oh that!?" said Jimmy. "We did that!! We just wanted a little taste see? And boy was she awfully taste-YAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!"

A slashing cut had just been lashed along Cuvis's middle head, letting blood seep out of the faceless mask.

"DAMN YA WOMAN!!!" Baris roared. "LET'S EAT HER GOOD!!"

Erza's expression remained that of absolute merciless fury as Cuvis Devorador charged her, his molten claws ready to hammer into her and rip her to shreds.

Erza suddenly requipped into a silver looking armor with golden tassels as she took out a massive 10 foot long lance and rammed it's point straight into Baris's gut, sending him flying.

"How dare you.." Erza said quietly as Cuvis soared through the air, and she requipped once more.. this time into her Heaven's Wheel armor.

Erza soared into the air, slashing and weaving her swords with terrifying precision, somehow managing to slice Cuvis's extremely durable body, causing the monster to spray out blood everywhere.."

"How.." Erza appeared above Cuvis, suddenly requipped into her Giant's Armor and wielding a massive hammer bigger then her entire body. "DARE YOU!!!"

At these words, Erza brought the hammer smashing down into Cuvis's back, sending the monster smashing into to the desert in a tremendous cloud of dust.

As Erza landed lightly in the sand.. suddenly requipping into her samurai sword and outfit.. Cuvis stood up shakily and began stepping back.

"E-easy lady!" Baris stammered. "We only wanted to make her scream and stuff... oh she sounded so good when she screamed.."

"Did she now..?" Erza growled as her eyes became alit with terrible fury. "Well now.."

"YOU IDIOT!!" Aronis screamed out. "You're only makin' her madder!!"

Cuvis opened all three of his jaws and fired off another Cero Renegado.

Erza however, sped away in the open sand, managing to dodge the blast as she suddenly came in close to Cuvis.. and with a swift slash of her sword.. sliced the middle head straight off.

As the head thudded into the sand and disintegrated into darkness, the other two heads screamed.

"JIMMY!!" Aronis screamed. "NOOOOOO!!!!!"

"Dat chic damn killed Jimmy!" Baris growled. "YA GOING TO GET IT NOW GIRLIE!!!"

Erza raised her blade threateningly. "Mikoto... I get what you were trying to do.. to get stronger by beating this thing... but now.. let me take care of this for you.."

"Er-Erza.." Mikoto felt speechless.. she was still reeling from the fact Erza was here in Hueco Mundo..

Erza's magic power began to explode from her body as she requipped once more.. this time, she wore majestic pink armor with wing adorments on her shoulders and in her hair.. the entire armor looked like a wing design.. she bore two swords each with wing-like gaurds.. and a large purplish cape.

"Armadura Fairy.." Mikoto murmured. How long had it been since she had seen that armor?

Erza's magic energy seemed to charge up to the maximum as she moved at tremendous speeds. slicing her swords around at an incredible pace while displayng extroardinary grace at the same time... parrying each and every one of Cuvis's blows.

Cuvis roared out furiously, blasting Cero after Cero from his two remaining jaws, roaring out in fury for the loss of Jimmy.

Erza sliced her blade through each and every cero.. almost as if the will to protect Mikoto was granting her greater and greater strength with each and every single blow.

"YOU WILL NEVER HAVE HER!!!" Erza roared with tremendous fury. She crossed her two blades together. and immediately sliced off Aronis's head in a tremendous flash of light.

"NO NO NO NO!!!!" Cuvis's final head roared. "YA GOT GUTS LADY!!! AND I'M GONNA EAT EM!!! EAT EM!!!"

"I believe this is the point Gunha would say.. 'You can't eat guts.. guts eat you'." said Erza as she blitzed away, leaving random bursts of magical power in her wake as she did.

"GRAN REY CERO!!!!!" A tremendous Cero erupted from Cuvis's mouth towards Erza.. but Erza sliced through the blast.

Mikoto couldn't believe what she was seeing anymore.. never had Erza displayed this kind of power in front of her...

Erza roared out with amazing will as she shot down like a bullet toward's cuvis, the tips of her blades ripping through the ceros like paper.

"BEGONE!!! YOU BEAST!!!" Erza roared as he blades sliced through the final head.

"H-hungry.." Those were Cuvis's final frightened words as Erza's blade sliced through his neck... right before the vocal cords were cut apart.. and Cuvis's body fell to the sand.. disintegrating as it went..along with the last head.

Erza gave a tremendous sigh. And she began walking towards Mikoto.

Mikoto closed her eyes, preparing for the scolding of a lifetime.. she knew it was coming.. she had gone off to Hueco Mundo without the rest of the guild.. she probably caused all of them to worry a whole lot...

But the scolding didn't come.. instead.. she felt Erza rush her into a massive hug, not even bothering requip out of her Armadura Fairy.. hot tears poured off of Erza's face onto Mikoto.

"Thank.. goodness.." Erza whispered. "You're okay.. thank goodness..."

Mikoto felt stunned. This.. was the first time she had ever heard or seen Erza cry... the Erza.. the Erza who was so strong, so tough, a great leader.. someone she idolized above all others in Fairy Tail... was crying.. she had never.. ever ever.. seen Erza... cry..

"E-Erza.."

"I was worried.. that the grief for your parents might influence you to get yourself killed." Erza murmured. "But, I shoud've given you more credit. You're stronger then that."

Mikoto began to feel her eyes water. "E-Erza.. don't cry like that.. you're going to make me cry that way.."

Erza picked up Mikoto in her arms. "Don't worry.. we're going to find them Mikoto.. all of your Sisters.."

"I take that back.. I'm going to cry anyways.." Mikoto murmured as tears began to stream down her cheeks.

Erza smiled and began walking through the desert towards the center of Las Noches, carrying the heavily injured Mikoto in her arms. "You know.. that strange man who helped us get here.. Urahara.. there's more to him then meets the eye.."

"Yeah.." said Mikoto. "I've been wondering about that..who is he?"

Erza was about to open her mouth to respond.. when she stopped right in her tracks. "Oh no.."

Mikoto looked around as well.. and was stunned to find that hundreds of Arrancar had risen out of the desert around them...  all of them had their swords drawn.

"Mikoto..can you move?" Erza whispered.

"I-I can try.."

"Nevermind.." said Erza shaking her head. "I'll just power my way through.. it's the only option at the moment.. we can.. can.. what are they doing?"

The Arrancar had parted before Erza and they were bowing.. as if willing Erza to come through.. however, it was soon aparent that Erza wasn't the one they were bowing to..

One of the Arrancar shouted out. "All hail his Majesty Barragan Louisenbairne.."

The hulking large, old and scarred Espada made his way through.. sitting on his large white throne that floated along...

Next to him, were a regiment of Arrancars who were all carrying Barragan's Axe, Arrogante..

Barragan stood from his throne and took Arrogante from his subjects.

"So.. I hear Cuvis Devorador is dead.." said Barragan. "What a turn of events... but now you come up against the ruler of all things under heaven and Earth.. I the rightful ruler and King of Hueco Mundo.. Segunda Espada, Barragan Louisenbairn.."

"Mikoto.." Erza whispered. "If you can move.. get out of here..."

Mikoto felt her fingers twitch as the poisonous reitsu in her began to wear off..

"No... this time, I'm fighting with you.."

Barragan shook his head. "You would both think to challenge me? Unthinkable, unfathomable! That you would think to fight a god.."

"I've fought gods.." Mikoto muttered as she got to her feet with Erza's help. "Trust me pal.. you're not it."

Barragan's one unclosed eye narrowed as he raised his axe. "Very well.. then here.. on this very field of battle.. I shall ensure you know who the real god who governs all is.."
