For those who know me, welcome my first multi-chaptered fic under a new category! I know I said I'm taking a break fom multi-chaptered fics but suddenly the idea came in and I just had to write it down *laughs*.
Summary: AU. Kurozuma Wataru is arrested because he's the (former) leader (and founder( of the Big Spider. He was taken for experimentation and he escaped without completion. He runs into Konori Mii, they got reunited but he was an entirely different person. Konori is under a dilemma of choosing between him and being a Judgment. What happened to Kurozuma? What will Konori do?
So warning, this is Rated M, we all know why.
Let's start!
CHAPTER 01: THE NEW KUROZUMA
Kurozuma was in his cell when suddenly the door opened and he was called for a 'meeting'. Even if they said it was a meeting, he was sure it was something else. Academy City is filled with people that they cannot trust. Especially those who are said to work for the government.
He was taken to an office assisted by chains on both his wrists and ankles. As if he was a dangerous esper.
When he entered the office, he saw a woman with long wavy brown hair. He quickly noticed the bags under her eyes as if she lacked sleep or something. He shrugged it off and followed where the guards directed him to go. The chair.
"Kurozuma Wataru. Level 0." she reads the document in her hands.
"Yep, that's me." he said.
The woman said nothing, just responding with a 'mm-hmm' and closed the folder, placing it down her desk and stares at Kurozuma. Her green eyes weren't intimidating of the sort, in fact, she looked kind of sleepy as of the moment.
"I think he's a good one." she told the guards and she started scribbling on the file of Kurozuma and he just watched until she's done.
"Good for what?" he asked.
"You'll see."
Kurozuma was taken to a lab underground- or so he thinks since they've been walking down the stairs with his eyes blindfolded until they got there. There was a gurney waiting for him- yes, he believes it was meant for him.
"What are you planning?" he asks.
"Just a simple experiment." the woman shrugs. "Or that's what you can believe for now."
The woman motioned the guards to prepare the wires and every other gadget that was needed for the 'simple experiment'. Kurozuma had a really bad feeling about it. He turns back to the woman with a serious look.
"At least give me a hint what you're using me for." he demands.
"You're the perfect material for what they are planning for." was all the woman could say.
"They?"
They. That means that there is someone higher ordering this simple experiment to be conducted. The woman was merely a tool to begin the experiment and he was the material.
"Kiyama-san!" yelled a voice from the door that automatically opened.
"Oh you're here." Kiyama said when she saw the prisoner being dragged into the room.
"Couldn't bear to stay away from me, I see." the boy with white hair teased. "How's your arm?"
"It's still functioning normally."
"Eh? Really?" he chuckled evilly as he was being dragged towards the gurney. "Then you wouldn't mind if we play that game again, do you?"
Kurozuma noticed that Kiyama's hand clenched her fist, while the other hand was trembling. It must be the arm that the boy was talking about. Whoever the boy was, he is dangerous and when there's a dangerous 'specimen' involved, there is always a dangerous experiment.
"Just prepare everything." Kiyama told the guards and left.
Kurozuma had one last look at the boy who was being gagged and tied up. He was probably wrong that the gurney was meant for him, but if she said he was a 'material' then he's a part of the experiment. But what is his role exactly? While everyone was busy setting up the lab, he ran after Kiyama.
"Hey. I don't know what happened before or what kind of experiment this is but, is it alright for you to do this?" he asked.
"What do you mean?" Kiyama asked.
"He hurt you didn't he? I don't know how many times but I can see that he's known you quite a while now."
"You're a keen one." she sighed. "I've been in charge of experiments that involves him."
"You're not one of the bad guys, are you?"
"What of it, Kurozuma Wataru?" she continued walking and Kurozuma follows.
"I want to help you."
Kiyama stopped walking to face Kurozuma seriously. An odd one she could say. Or rather crazy.
"Then be a good boy and go back to the lab." she tells him.
"Then what?"
"Since you're a Level 0 esper, we were hoping that your DNA or your body can contain- restrain Accelerator."
"What do you mean?"
"Accelerator is one of the seven Level 5 espers here in Academy City. As you can see, he's turned into one hell of a sadist now. I am not aware of the details but I was told that I needed to restrain his abilities until he toned down."
"Using Level 0 espers?"
"Yeah." Kiyama said. "There are 24 failed experiments so far. You are the 25th material, hopefully you won't be a failure like the others."
"Then why not just take his powers completely? Then no one would be hurt!" Kurozuma suggested.
"Academy City doesn't want his powers taken. Since they are trying to develop a Level 6, he is the closest one to that level. But first they want Accelerator to rely on them. In order to do that, the Restraining Experiment must happen."
Kurozuma calmed his breathing.
What is Academy City thinking? Trying to control a monster like that?
"What's going to happen to Level 0 materials if it succeeds?" he asked.
"Survive. They will either live with defect or gain disabilities."
"And if it fails? What awaits me?"
"Death."
Kiyama didn't need to explain further. Whether or not the experiment succeeds, the fate of the 'material' used will not be a good one. He could choose to resist but will still be forced to complete the experiment or he can choose to willingly permit them to use him for this experiment.
"If this succeeds.. what will you do after?" he questioned. Kiyama looked at him with drowsy eyes, seems like she was tired.
"Work more. Go home. Who knows?" Kiyama replied. "Why would it even matter?"
"Like I said. I want to help you. I may be a Level 0 but I don't let my level judge my capabilities." Kurozuma said sharply.
"I will not question your ability, Kurozuma Wataru, but I want to question your resolve. If you don't mind."
"I dislike it when men pick on women." he shrugs. "Or in your case, the higher ups pushing you around."
"How can you say?" Kiyama asked curiously.
"You don't seem too fond of this experiment and you don't use 'my' or 'I' when mentioning about the experiment. You would direct it to 'they' or 'them'. As I've noticed in my past encounters with scientists, they tend to be really possessive about their experiments. And they brag about it."
Kiyama let out a small chuckle and approached the Level 0 esper in front of her.
"It would be a shame to use you for some unreasonable experiment." she states.
"It wouldn't be unreasonable if I'm doing this for the sake of someone, right?" he said. Kiyama didn't respond. "I'll make sure I restrain that ass."
"I sure hope so." Kiyama muttered and led him back to the lab.
The place was ready. Everything was ready. Accelerator was tied up and unconscious inside a coffin-like case. There are wires attached to him and it goes out through small holes on the sides of the coffin-like case. There is another case being prepared and Kurozuma knew it was for him. He willingly allowed them to hook wires in his head and arms, legs and body. He put on a brave face to keep Kiyama calm about his volunteering.
I'll be alright. I hope.
One of the assistants made him wear goggles and he closed his eyes as the case was closed. He could feel mild electric current following through his body but at the same time he felt like the life was being drained out of him.
Konori.. I promise to come back. I promise to make it out of here alive.
He held on to the thought of seeing her again, to see her smile, he didn't let go. Until he completely lost consciousness.
When he came to, he finds himself lying on the cold floor with dead soldiers and assistants everywhere. The alarm was beeping loudly in his ears but he could hear faint sounds from it, his senses still dazed by the drugs they used on him.
Slowly, Kurozuma sat up, the lights were blinking on and off and he finds the other coffin-like case open and empty.
That guy!
Immediately, he turned to see where Kiyama once stood and finds the office through the glass window, empty. He rushed towards the door to exit the lab and he sees Kiyama Harumi out cold on the ground. He ran to her aid and sees that her face was beaten, her arm- right arm, was dislocated. Kurozuma grit his teeth in anger. Accelerator broke her arm again.
He looks around to find a glimpse of the missing attacker but instead he sees the Anti-Skill squad running towards the lab.
"Over here!" yelled Yomikawa Aiho.
Kurozuma was about to shout and call their attention but he saw Tessou Tsuzuri already coming his way. He was relieved to know that. He was about to get up and tell her to hurry but then he felt his heartbeat started to beat rapidly. As if he was excited.
What.. what is this feeling?
"Hey, are you alright over there?!" asked Tessou.
Kurozuma wanted to reply, to answer, but his body wouldn't allow him. His mouth won't open.
What's going on? Why can't I?
A sudden painful pulse occurred inside of him. Every part of his body ached and burned in pain. He started to sweat but he didn't understand what was happening. He gripped tightly on Kiyama and looks at Tessou with a menacing look.
What am I doing?
Tessou got nearer towards them and Kurozuma suddenly threw Kiyama's body at her and started landing punches. Heavy punches towards the Anti-Skill member. Kurozuma tried to restrain himself but the punches just kept on coming.
No! Stop it!
The beaten Anti-Skill member was knocked out cold due to the amount of damage he gave her. But his body wasn't done doing what it wants. Kurozuma walked towards Tessou to stomp on her repeatedly but Yomikawa and the rest of the Anti-Skill was about to arrive at the scene. Getting caught by them was the last thing Kurozuma wants right now.
By instinct that they're coming, he ran and ran, for some reason he seemed to know the structure of the building, like he knew where to go- he knew where the exit is.
When he got out, he continued to run. His heartbeat still pulsating, so did his whole body. It was as if he had a fever. He bumps into a group of guys who got mad at him.
"Hey watch where you're going!" yelled the man he bumped into.
I'm sorry!
He wanted to yell. But his mouth yelled something else.
"Can't you see I'm in a hurry, you watch where you're going!"
"What did you say?!"
Without warning, Kurozuma's body started to beat the whole gang without even sweating on it. His face seemed to show satisfaction at what he did towards the group of guys.
I'm.. I'm happy for beating them? To see them hurt?
He wondered as his body kept on beating the crap out of the guys that no longer has the ability to fight. And then it came to him. What Kiyama told him; Accelerator is one of the seven Level 5 espers here in Academy City. As you can see, he's turned into one hell of a sadist now. I am not aware of the details but I was told that I needed to restrain his abilities until he toned down.
Is this supposed to be the effect of the experiment? The outcome? Or did something go wrong?
Kurozuma snapped out of his thoughts and checks what his body was doing, finding that he was now laughing because of how much blood the dead men were producing on his every stomp. He crushed their bones and skulls.
This is.. Accelerator controlling over me? No. It can't be!
As much as he didn't want to think that way, it couldn't be ignored.
"Yeah, it's possible, Kurozuma Wataru." his body spoke. No one was there. So that means..
You can hear me?
"Of course!" he said and laughed. Kurozuma was glad he stopped stomping. "I'm inside your body and we are one. For now at least. I don't want to stay here forever. I will get that wretched scientist to put me back to my real body."
You hurt her! You're going to pay for this!
"She's still alive! I just make sure I followed my word about that arm of hers." Accelerator said and snickered. "Now let's find a new victim to pick on."
No! Don't do this!
Everything Kurozuma fought for, it was all for nothing. Now his own body was being used against his will- and it is being used to do something bad. Really bad things.
It wasn't far that they both heard a female voice giving someone a warning.
"This is Judgment, stay where you are!" said the female voice.
"Judgment?" Accelerator said, followed by an evil chuckle. "This is interesting! Let's go beat a Judgment member next!"
No! This isn't right! Stop it Accelerator!
However, even with all his yelling, Accelerator ignored him.
I have to do something. This is MY body!
While trying to focus on regaining control of himself, he saw what Accelerator saw. They only had one body, what the other one sees is what he sees. And right now Accelerator is staring at a very familiar female wearing glasses and has shoulder-length black hair.
K- Konori!
"Konori, eh? You know her?" Accelerator said.
No, please don't hurt her!
"Judgment is Judgment. She's an enemy." he said and cracked his knuckles. "I wonder how she'd feel when she gets a taste of your knuckles."
Please! DON'T!
Again, Accelerator ignored him and dashed towards Konori.
KONORI, PLEASE RUN!
