Railgun Online, Book 5. Alicization Running

Violet Sparkplug

The song is Violet Sparkplug's theme.

 Reasons for Violet Sparkplug's color: Blue avatars are typically close combat types, and their color stems from the person's desire to overcome obstacles with their own might. Red Avatars however, desire the Strength to reach faraway places. Mikoto Misaka during the both the fan fictions I've written and the actual Index and Railgun series has shown massive desires to overcome things on her own, yet also reach far for things that were previously thought impossible, such as reach Level 5 all the way from Level 1. The desire that stems from her Red nature became stronger after her continuous playing VRMMOs and she desired to explore every aspect of the Virtual World. Had she not done this, there is a chance she might have just ended up as Blue Sparkplug, but thanks to Sword Art Online, she is Violet Sparkplug.

 It is also thanks to Mikoto's strong desire to protect others, a trait common in Green avatars, that almost resulted in her becoming Emerald Sparkplug instead. Kirito and Kuroyukihime later, in the second series Railgun Online: Accelerated World, will both theorize that the odds of Mikoto becoming Green Sparkplug were 43 percent, Blue Sparkplug 7 percent, and Violet Sparkplug a solid 50 percent. And had Mikoto received her Brain Burst Avatar AFTER the events of the upcoming 6th book, there was a solid 100 percent chance of becoming  Silver Sparkplug. (Metal colored Avatars result from closing walls around the heart.)

Violet Sparkplug twitched her head to the side as electricity arched out of her forehead and shoulders. "What's the matter Krux? You seem shocked."

"More like amused." said Krux. "I believe this makes it a 3 on 1 duel. To think that one would require three opponents to take me on.."

"M-Misaka-san!?" Silver Crow stammered. "H-how!? N-nobody installed Brain Burst onto your Neuro Linker!! You don't meet any of the criteria to being a Burst Linker!!"

"Guess I got a little help." said Sparkplug with a shrug. "Anyways, Krux, you may be trying to hide it, but I can tell you're totally unsettled."

"Me? Unsettled by a fight against clumsy unskilled humans?" said Krux. "You're joking."

"Yet, against any other kinds of avatars, whether from ALO, GGO, the Underworld, you would have been able to outclass them and defeat them in mere seconds if they weren't veteran Full Divers." said Sparkplug.  "Heck, if you're any bit as skilled as Seyat, you should have beaten Arita-san and Kurashima-san by now.. but, I've been watching the fight, and thanks to Nox's ability to see through Data, I've been able to observe a few things.. you got slower the more you fought against Crow and Bell."

"Impossible!!" Krux growled. "I never slow down!!"

"That's true.." said Sparkplug. "Or rather, the more they fought against you, the more they sped up little by little.. and somehow, their bodies were more in tune to fighting you then normal avatars.. that's because these avatars.. aren't just made of ones and zeros comprised within a VRMMO.. they're comprised of Viros DNA..  they're specifically created to give humans the ability to fight Viros.."

"Hahahahaha!!" Krux laughed. "Really!? If that's so, then why did I still thrash them to pieces!!?"

"Oh it's just a matter of finding the right opponent.." said Sparkplug.." For example.."

"FWWIIIIP!!!" Violet Sparkplug disappeared in a burst of speed, leaving a blurred afterimage as she appeared right behing Krux.

She landed a powerful flip kick at Krux, who blocked the blow in a burst of sparks, he slashed his blade at Sparkplug only to hit empty air as Sparkplug reappeared right behind him, landing a punch.

"SLAAAASSSSHHH!!!" The blade hit empty air once more, and Mikoto's blows began to hit at Krux's body, leaving sparks that rippled against his armor, as she began to speed around.
