A Certain Ice Princess - Chapter 2
2 weeks later...
In Mika's Room
In Mika's bedroom, Mika still worked on her laptop with only table lamp turn on. Then she realised "Oh! It nearly 4am now" Mika thought as she turned her head away from her laptop and look at the clock on the wall.
"I should get some sleep before I'm going to school tomorrow...Damn it why can't I find this information" As Mika closed her eye with her hand and lead backward on the chair.
Mika stood up and walked toward her bed. She lied on her bed and closed her eye. She spoke softly "Mum, Where are you?" as her tear start running down her face before fell to sleep.
Afterschool
After class finished every student in the room start packed their belonging and ready to go home. Fukiyose watched Mika as she still sleep on her desk so she decided to walk toward Mika and woke her up.
"Are you okay? You look tried Mika"
Mika lifted her head from the desk and looked at Fukiyose with half eyes open. "I'm okay, I just didn't have a good sleep these past few days" Mika replied while yawing
"Then why don't you try this" as Fukiyose brought out the shopping magazine and flipped to a certain page and gave it to Mika
"Erm... a 'sleep sleepy pillow' the latest product from A Certain University. If you can't sleep, this product is 100% guarantee to make you sleep before you know it." Mika read the magazine out loud with sleepy face.
Touma heard Mika and decided to walk toward Mika and Fukiyose. "It sound like it going to make you sleep and never wake up again" Touma said.
"Kamijo Touma, I'm trying to help Mika here and the reason she can't have a good sleep because of your misfortune affect her" as Fukiyose replied and glance at Touma
"WHAT! Fukou-da" Touma sighed while Mika started laughing.
"Ah! I forgot I got meeting with friends" Mika sudden remembered and started packing her stuff.
"You're meeting with Biribiri today?" Touma asked
"Yes, Mikoto going to introduce me to some of her friends" Mika said while put her book in school bag.
"O, I see~" Touma watched Mika packing her stuff.
"Well~ I be leaving now, see you tomorrow Fukiyose-san and Touma" Mika said while run toward the classroom door.
"Good bye" Fukiyose and Touma replied back to Mika while Touma waved his hand.
On the way to the Joseph's Restaurant,
Mika heard a commotion across the street in the alley and decided to take look. Mika saw five guys harassing two girls wear a sailor uniform but different from the one that she wear. One of the girls had a long black hair and a white flower clip on her left and other one with a short black with a flower hand band.
"We aren't interested in you guy's so leave us alone" Saten grabbed her friend's hand and tried to walk away without look at the boy face.
"Hey don't ignore us, let go have some fun" one of the guy said while stopped two girls from escape.
Then other 4 boys started to form a circle to trap Saten and Uriharu.
As Uriharu realised the situation is getting worst she decided to inform the boys about her position "I'm...from a Judgment so please stop what you're doing and let us go..."
Meanwhile Mika decided to hide behind the building and watched the situation. Mika heard Uriharu and thought "Judgment?... oh the student who protect the city right? Those boys should leave them alone now or you get arrest."
But it's only encouraged the boys as he grabbed Uriharu's wrist. "Wow, judgment... what are you going to do? Arrest us in this position?" as he tighter the grip.
"Arhh" Uriharu screamed as pain from her wrist
"Leave Uriharu Alone!" as Saten ran toward Uriharu to helps her but she got grabbed by another guy and got slammed into the wall.
"ARGH!" Saten screamed painfully
"SATAN-SAN!" Uriharu called her friend as she watched helplessly and started to cry.
Mika could not take anymore as she saw Saten and Uriharu screamed. "HEY! STOP RIGHT NOW!" as Mika shouted angrily while walked in and glance at one of the boy with the killing intense.
Uriharu, Saten, and five other boys looked toward Mika.
"Do you think it so cool to just simply harassing a girls. You guy look so pathetic!" as Mika spoke calmly and stop in front one of the guy.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?" the guy shouted and grab Mika's shoulder
"Oh now you deaf?" Mika replied calmly while smirk at him
"WHY YOU..."Before he could finish his sentence, Mika grabbed his arm and turn her back at him then throw him on to the ground. He landed hard on the floor then Mika stomped at his stomach which knocks him out.
"You guy still want more" Mika turned her head to look at other 4 guys. Then 2 of them run toward Mika. One of them tried to grab her but she able to dodge to the side and used her hand to hit a back the neck. He fell on the ground unconscious.
Another guy tried to punch Mika's face but he miss as Mika duck and return with an uppercut which resulted in knocked out and lie on the floor. It took less than 5 minutes to take 2 of the boys.
"Three down two left" as Mika thought as she look at 3 guys that unconscious on the floor then look toward other 2 boys who still hold Uriharu and Saten.
"I can still keep going if you guy want to end up like these three" Mika said while glance at the 2 boys who still shock on what happen.
Both of boys looked at each other and decided let Uriharu and Saten go and run away. Mika worried about Saten and Uriharu injury so she decided not to run after them.
"Are you girls okay?" Mika said while running toward Satan and Uriharu
"Thank you for saving us, Uriharu, Are you okay?" Saten answered while rubbing her head as she can still feel the pain from her head.
"I'm okay... I better call Anti-Skill" Uriharu answered as try to find her phone and call anti-skill to pick up these 3 buys who still lying on the floor.
After Anti-Skill arrived and gave a first aid to Saten and Uriharu. Mika explained the situation to one of the Anti-Skill.
"Next time please call Anti-Skill instead of fight on your own" one of the Anti-skill told Mika while writing some things on the paper.
"Hai" Mika replied and thought "yeah right, if I wait for Anti-Skill to arrive these girls might be dead right now" as Anit-skill officer walked away. Mika saw Uriharu walking toward her.
"Thank you for saving us" Uriharu said while bowing to Mika.
"You're welcome" Mika replied with a smile of her face.
"Your fighting skill is amazing, where did you learn this...erm... What your name?" Saten-san walked to join the conversation after we received a check up by one of the Ant-skill.
"Ar sorry I forgot to introduce myself, my name Takahiko Mika and your name"
"My name is Saten Ruiko and this is my friend Uriharu Kasari" Saten answered
"Nice to meet you" Uriharu answered
Mika sudden remembered something and said it out loud "AH! I totally forgot that I need to meet a friend right now."
"Sorry but I have to go now, good bye" Mika said and started to run
As Saten and Uriharu watched Mika run toward the Joseph's Restaurant direction. Then Uriharu got a phone call.
"Hello, this is Uriharu Kasari speaking" Uriharu answered the phone
"URIHARU, where are you, me and onee-sama been waiting for nearly hour already"
"AH! Shirai-san sorry, we got into some problem. We will be on our way now" Uriharu answered the phone with a surprised expression and started run while on the phone and follow by Saten.
Joseph's Restaurant
Two girls wore Tokiwadai uniform sat in one of the table near the window in the restaurant.
"Kuroko, what happen to Uriharu-san and Saten-san?" Mikoto asked Kuroko with curiosity while drinking ice royal milk tea.
"They say they got into some trouble but now they on the way" Kuroko answered with curious face as she put her mobile phone away because before she could ask what happen Uriharu shut her phone.
"By the way onee-sama, where is Takahiko-san?" Kuroko asked while look at Mikoto keep slowly stirred her drink because she getting board of waiting.
"Now that you mention it, where is she?" Mikoto stopped her action and start look around.
"Onee-sama, you should take care for your friend more, what if she get lost?" Kuroko said with a worry face
"Ah! There she is" Mikoto ignored her and saw Mika entering the restaurant.
"Oh! Mika" Mikoto called Mika while waving her hand. Mika walked toward Mikoto and Kuroko.
"Why are you late? Did you get lost?" Mikoto asked Mika as she sat down beside her.
"I late because I helps someone who in trouble... that all" Mika replied while thought what should she order.
"I see" Mikoto replied
"So where other friends that you going to introduces me to" Mika asked Mikoto while look around
"There also late because they got into some trouble on the way here" Kuroko answered while look at Mika.
"ehh~" as Mika thought "is it the girls that I save a moment ago" but she got interrupt by the waitress who bring a menu for her. She said "Thank you" to the waitress and started looking in the menu.
About 15 minutes after Mika arrived at the restaurant, Uriharu and Saten entered the restaurant. Kuroko saw those two and called them to the table. Kuroko could see both of them running out of breath as they walked toward her.
"What happen?" Kuroko asked as Uriharu and Saten sat down and tried the catch their breath.
"There...was...a...guys...try...ing...to...ha..rassed...us...on...the...way...to...here..But...a...girl...came..and...safe...us~" Uriharu tried to speak and breath at the same time. In this moment Uriharu and Saten didn't realise yet that the person who save them was sitting across them and looking at them.
Mikoto and Kuroko surprised to hear and ask for more explanation. As Uriharu explained to Mikoto and Kuroko, Mika thought while look at them try to catch their breath while talking. "How come they so out of breath? It only just 15 minutes run to here. Both of them need more exercise"
Then Saten realised that the girl sat beside Mikoto is the one that save her and Uriharu.
"AH! YOU...TAKAHIKO-SAN!" Saten yelled with a surprise face and look at Mika.
Mika looked at Saten and smiled "you finally notice me"
Uriharu and Saten looked surprise after seeing Mika smile at them.
"You the one that save Saten-san and Uriharu right?" Kuroko asked with a curious face while looking at Mika.
"Yes, it was nothing much. Those boys have no fighting skill at all" Mika answered to Kuroko
"When did you learn martial art Mika? I remember when you were young, you the one always get bully and you have a weak body always stay in bed" Mikoto asked her childhood friend with curious face.
"Well~ that is the past you know, after I move out of town my body start to get better and after finish grade 4, my mother got a research job in a military base. We stay there for about 3 years and I don't have to go to school because the island is a military base so I decide to learn some self- defence while I stay there" Mika answered like this is a normal story.
Mikoto, Kuroko, Saten, and Uriharu shocked after hear about Mika's story and unable to say anything for 20 seconds while Mika still looked at the menu and called the waitress to take her order. As waitress asked Saten and Uriharu their order, both of them surprised and finally came back to reality.
After Mika, Saten, and Uriharu ordered some drink and snacks. "WOW, that is so cool...its like in the movie where a young girl train in the military base and becoming a spy" Saten yell happily to Mika
"Saten-san I'm not spy, I only learn self defence from there." Mika replied
"Ar ha~ Mika you say you didn't go to school while you in the military base right? How come you can skip grade now?" Mikoto asked as she curious about her childhood friend past.
"WHAT! You skip grade...oh wait how old are you? But isn't A Certain High school uniform?" Saten spoke quickly as she want to know more
"Saten-san clam down" Urihari tried to calm her friend excitement down.
"My age is the same with Mikoto. My mother has a teacher certificated so she always finds a time off to teach me all about the school work" Mika explained to everyone.
"I can't believe this is real" Saten said while leading back.
"Hah, let change the subject, so... how did you guy get to know Mikoto and Shirai-san?" as Mika turned and ask Uriharu and Saten
"Oh, Shirai-san and me work in the same Judgement branch and Saten-san is my classmate" Uriharu answered Mika question.
"eh~" Mika thought "how come she cannot deal with those 5 boys... maybe it too much for Judgement to handle" Mika decided not to speak what she thought because it kind of rude as well.
Then the drink and snack that they orders are served on the table.
"So how did Misaka-san and Takahiko-san get to know each other?" Uriharu asked after take one big bite from jumbo fruits parfait that she order.
"Well~ my mother is a best friend with Mika's mother and we went to the same kindergarten and we usually practice our esper power together. We spend most of the time together." Mikoto explained to Uriharu and Saten.
"eh~ Takahiko-san train ESPer power with Misaka-san so your level must be 3 or 4 right?" Saten asked Mika
"No no even though Mikoto is level 5 but I'm only level 2. After I move I didn't practice that much." Mika tried to explain to Saten
"If you don't mind Takahiko-san what your ESPer power?" Kuroko asked with calm face then take a sip from her tea.
"I show you" Mika said while holding a straw from her drink as Mika focus her ESPer power on the straw. The ice starts to form outside surface of the straw until the straw cover with ice.
"WOW, cryokinesis... It's the first time I saw" Saten said with surprised face and look at the straw cover by ice.
"It nothing much though because I can only do with a small things" Mika explained as she lead back and take a drink.
Then Mikoto sudden changed topic "Hey Mika, how your mum? Is she here in the Academy City?" Mikoto asked while trying to remember the past.
*COUGH*
Mika quickly replied "Sh she fa-fine but she not in the Academic City though she doing research outside" as Mika looked outside of the window to avoid eye contact.
Mikoto thought while look at Mika who look in a different direction "how come her action is strange" but it's doesn't bother Mikoto that much so she doesn't continue ask.
After everyone finished their drinks and snacks.
"Should we go to Seventh Mist just for widow shopping?" Saten suggested
"Seventh Mist?" Mika mentioned as she never go before.
"It a shopping mall in 7th distinct, have you been before?" Uriharu asked Mika
"No, I haven't been around city much" Mika answered to Uiharu
"Then it decide then, let go to Seventh Mist shopping mall" Mikoto answered while standing up
As everyone agree and left the Joseph's restaurants.
After finished shopping in the 7th Mist shopping mall, everyone go back to their dorm as it nearly curfew time.
Mika's Room
Mika walked out from the shower and walked into the kitchen to grab a Musashino milk from her refrigerator. Then she walked into her bedroom and sat down on a chair and start drinking. Mika's thought "wah~ I have so much fun today... how many year is it since I get to be hanging around with same age friend and just talk like normal girls would do".
Then she slaps her face with both of her hands while thinking "Okay its working time! I must find all the relevant information relates to mum in all research labs in Academic city... What research lab am I up too" as she turned on her laptop.
"I will find you mum, I know you in this city" After Mika thought, she started to hack to one of the research lab to find the relevant information.
Five hours past, Mika able to obtain all of the information that she needed. It take her about 2 weeks to gather the relevant information and able to narrow down to 4 research labs. But these 4 research labs have a strong fire walls which Mika cannot hack through to get all of the information and some information might be in hard copied. So Mika took out the Academic city map and circle the 4 research labs.
"No other choice, I have to go in there and found out" Mika's thought as she printing the floor plan of the 4 research labs.
"Tomorrow I should go check the research lab outside surrounding afterschool" Mika's thought as she decided.
12:00AM
A certain girl arrived at a certain laboratory in District 10, she has long blonde hair and wear glass. She wears black jacket and black long jean with a dark blue bag pack at her back. She also wore mask only cover her mouth and nose, and a leather gloves.
Mika thought "this research laboratory main research on chemical substance but they firewall is too strong to use for this kind of laboratory... and last month this lab start to employ AMI scientists...the only way to find out is going in there and look for more information." she looked at the laboratory.
Yesterday afternoon Mika already came here to look at the surrounding of the laboratory and already plan everything on how to get in there without alarm the security. She also hacked to the security system to check security camera whereabouts.
She decided to enter from the back where only security camera mostly uses instead of security guard. Mika thought "how come they have such a strong firewall but cannot afford a proper security?" as she walked closer to the back of the laboratory.
She used her esper power 'Cryokinesis' to create ice handle on the wall. She quickly climbed up to the top and used her power to create a ladder that connects the wall to a window as the distance between the wall and window is close. While she walked toward the window Mika thought "Sorry Mikoto and Touma that I lies about my ability level, during the system scan I have to pretend to be level 2 so no one can suspect me."
She quickly unlocked the window and quickly went into a room. Then she flicked her finger and the ice ladder break into small pieces of ice and fell on the ground.
"Okay I'm in, so where is the information storage room, from the floor plan it should be in this floor and in the back to the hall way." Mika thought as she walks toward the door. She tried to listen for noise in the hallway.
"It looks like no one working late night today" Mika thought as she opens the door and takes another look.
As Mika walked through the hall way toward the information storage room there were 2 cameras face toward the door. Mika took out her small laptop and hack into the security system then disable the all the security camera.
"This likely to create a commotion but it's the only way. If I disable only these 2 cameras then the security guard will likely to check this room. So by disable all the cameras there don't know what happen. They might think it's only a system failure." Mika thought as she walked toward the door. Then she also disabled the lock on the door by hacking into the system.
Mika walked into the information storage room and closed the door behind her. There about ton of boxes contained research information but most of them it's not important for her. She used her laptop to check where the information that she needed is.
"Box number 1024 on number selves 10th" Mika repeated this number as she tries to find it.
"Ah! There it is" Mika said in her mine and took the box then Mika start reading the research file right away.
20 Minutes later, Mika said to herself while sigh "this is not the information I wanted... Damn it" as she put down the paper and start to pack things up and leave.
Mika walked toward the door and check on her laptop that the security system still down which Mika make escape plans easy. Mika thought "the security system is still down but why I didn't see any security guard come and check... the security here suck " as she run back to the room that she comes in and leave the laboratory.
3:45am Mika's Room
Mika changed her cloth and lie on her bed and started thinking about the past...
FLASH BACK 1 Year before
After stayed in the military base for 3 years, Mika and her mother leaved the military base as her research project is finish. Both of them were putting their belonging in their small yellow car.
"Mum where are we going this time" Mika asked as she look at Kimiyo Takahiko
"I got a job in another city in the North, this time you can go to school too" Kimiyo replied with a smile to her daughter.
"I don't mind if I don't have to go to school, you can teach me everything that they teach at school and I think you a better teacher than a teacher at school anyway" Mika replied while putting her things in the back of the car.
"Don't say that Mika, the best part of school is friend... remember like Mikoto-chan and Touma-chan" Kimiyo stoped what her doing and looked at Mika's face.
"If you say so" Mika replied without look at Kimiyo.
After they finished putting their belonging in the car Kimiyo start to drive and Mika sat in the front.
Kimiyo drove for about 5 hours. The sun was already down. "It getting late now, we should find a hotel to stay" Kimiyo said to Mika who sitting beside her.
"Is there a town here?" Mika asked her mum as she look around and find nothings but trees.
"Maybe if we go further we might find a town" Kimiyo replied and continued driving.
Mika only nod
After drove for another hour, they found a small onsen hotel which they decided to spend a night. This hotel was setting beside the river.
After taking a bath, Mika and Kimiyo started prepare their bed to sleep.
"Mum how long it will take until we reach our new home" Mika asked Kimiyo as she put her cosmetic in the bag.
"Umm... it should take about 5 hours till we reach the city. Mika you better go to bed now" Kimiyo replied
"Hai~" Mika saied as she lying down on the futon bed
Before Kimiyo lie down in the futon bed, Kimiyo heard a commotion outside the hotel.
"What happening?" Kimiyo said while walk toward the window to check what going on
Kimiyo saw 2 black 4WD outside the hotel and 4-5 people wore black cloth with guns rushing into the hotel. Kimiyo immediacy knows what going on.
"Mika! We have to go NOW!" Kimiyo ordered as she grab a small Black Hand gun out of her bag.
"What happened mum?" Mika ask with confuse face and looked at her mother.
Kimiyo grabbed Mika and ran out from the room and entered to another room at the end of the hall way. The design of this room was the same as the one that Mika and Kimiyo stayed but this room got a river view.
"Mika! Stay in the wardrobe and don't come out until I say" Kimiyo said to Mika with a serious look.
"But I can help you fight these guys" Mika argued back to her mother
Then the footsteps sound coming this way. Kimiyo decided to push Mika in the wardrobe and close the wardrobe. Kimiyo prepared to fight as she point the gun toward the door.
"What happing here why those guy are after us" after Mika thought, the gun shoots started to erupts.
Ten Minutes later the gun shoots stopped, Mika decided to go closer to the wardrobe door to see the situation outside. Mika saw there are 5 guys in the room and one of them carry her mum on his shoulder...
After saw her mum, Mika started to scream as she release her power which destroys wardrobe and started to run toward them.
Five of the guy surprised and started shooting at Mika. Mika used an ice shield to block the bullets and freeze all of the 5 guns. Mika continued run toward them. She tried to grab her mum but one of the guys blocked her by kicking. Mika used her hand to block as one of the guy kick her.
During Mika fought with another guy, the guys who carried Kimiyo start to escape with other guy cover him. As Mika saw this, Mika release her power again by created ice spikes all over the room which hit 2 other guy and 1 able to dough it but Mika didn't notice.
"MUMMMM!" Mika screamed as she running out off the room. But she got grab by one of three guys in the room. He quickly throws Mika out of the window which Mika didn't have time to react.
"Hey, why didn't capture her as well" one of the guy asked the guy who throw Mika into the river.
"Our priority is Takahiko Kimiyo and she too dangerous" he said while he helps other guy.
Mika fell into the strong current river, Mika tried to swim to the riverbank but as the river current is too strong. Mika got drag under water by the current.
"Am I going to die right now" Mika thought as the current take her
"NO NO NO! I HAVE TO SAVE MUM!" then she screamed as she release her ice power and freeze part of the river.
Mika able to drag herself out from the river but after she reached the riverbank she went unconscious.
A Certain Military Base
In a medical room in a military base Mika finally woke up, "Where am I" as Mika thought and open her eye
"Where am I, What happen?" Mika said while trying to sit up
"You shouldn't be getting up now" a guy with short black hair in a military uniform said to Mika as he tried helping Maki to sit up.
Mika sudden remembered what happen the night in the onsen. "WHAT HAPPEN? WHERE MY MUM? WHY AM I HERE" Maki yelled to Naogi who used to train Maki in the last 3 years.
"Mika calm down, you need to get some rest first" Naogi yelled at Mika as he tried to stop Mika from getting out of the bed.
"HOW CAN I CALM DOWN? MY MUM GOT KIDNAPPED BY SOMEONE... i don't even know if she still alive" Mika yelled and start to cry as she put both of her hands on her face.
"Kimiyo-sensei is still alive" Naogi said while look at Mika
"What, How did you know?" Mika said while still trying to get rid of her tear.
"Just trust me, the information I got is come from reliable source" Naogi said with a soft tune while touch Mika's head.
"Now you need to get some rest, I will help you find your mother... I will tell you if there any news about your mother" Naogi said while walking toward to the door and close the door as he leave.
"Why do they take her away and what do they want her" Mika repeating this question inside her head and fall to sleep.
Back in Mika's Room
"After that I always think why am I this weak? I can't even protect the one I loved. So I decided to ask Naogi to train me seriously along with other solider. After one year Naogi able to obtain a news about my mum is here in the Academy city because of my mum's is a esper power. They want to experiment with my mum power... I don't even know my mum has esper power..." Maki thought then she fell to sleep.
Mika woke up because of her phone was ringing as she still half sleep, she tried to search for her phone.
"Where is the phone" Mika thought while trying look for her phone with only one eye open.
Mika finally fine the mobile on the floor and climb back to her bed, "Hello?" Mika answered the phone while closing her eye again.
"Are you still sleeping? Why aren't you coming to school?" Touma asked Mika
"What time is it?" Mika asked Touma while Mika.
"It's 12PM already" Touma said to Mika
"WHAT! I'M TOTALLY LATE ALREADY" Mika shout as she quickly sit up and realised what going on.
"HAHAHAHA" Touma laughed knowing that Mika sleep in.
"Why didn't you wake me up?" Mika yelled at Touma
"I did, I ring your door bell but you didn't answer so I thought that you already left." Touma explained
"I can't be bother going now, can you tell Komoe-sensei for me that I'm sick or something" Mika asked a favour to Touma
"Okay okay but only this time ok?" Touma replied
"Hai, Thank you Touma... Bye" Mika said to Touma
"See you Mika" Touma then hang up the phone.
Mika got up from her bed and walked toward her desk to turn on her laptop.
"I better start planning for tonight and I better go check the research lab surrounding" Maki thought while walking to the bathroom.
In a certain high school's class room
After Touma ended the conversation with Mika.
"How is Takahiko-san? Is she okay" Fukiyose asked Touma with a worry face while Aogami and Tuschimikado beside.
"She okay, she just sleeps in today" Touma said while smile.
"Eh~, that odd? Takahiko always come to class early and she never sleep in before" Fukiyose said with a worrying face.
"You're right but maybe she been study late at night" Touma answered without any concern.
"In this past few day Takahiko seem like she haven't have a proper sleep" Tuschimikado said while glance at Touma
"What are you looking at?" Touma asked Tuschimikado while Touma glance back with killing intense
Touma thought "If he mentions that Mika live next door to me, I going to kill him!"
"Oh~ Nothing~ Kami-Yan~" Tuschimikado said while walking away but Aogami glanced at Touma as he know that he missing something. But got interrupt by school bell ring as lunch time finish.
Touma sighed and said "Fukou-da" softly.
Touma thought "Come to think Mika look kind of depressed in past few day. Maybe afterschool I go and check her up just to be sure she okay" while walking to his desk.
Mika's Room
After Mika finished her planning on her next move, she decided to go check the research lab.
"The research lab is in 12th district... that so far" Mika talked to herself while looking at the map.
"Maybe I should go there now and wait until its dark." Mika decided and start to pack her things.
In a Certain Park
Touma decided to go to supermarket before going to back to his dorm. He walked through a certain park then he saw Mikoto walk pass.
"YO! Biribiri" Touma called Mikoto while waving
Mikoto saw Touma and said her usual
"MY NAME IS MISAKA MIKOTO! YOU IDIOT!" Mikoto yelled while start to generate spark around her.
"OH! STOP STOP, sorry sorry... I understand" Touma shouted while trying to stop Mikoto from frying him.
"Hey, I got a question for you about Mika" Touma asked Mikoto
"umm, what happen to Mika?" Mikoto asked Touma with worrying face
"She seen a bit strange this past few days, she seem like she didn't get enough sleep and she kind of depressed" Touma explained to Mikoto.
"I meet her 2 days ago, she looks fine to me" Mikoto answered while trying to remember
"Ok then may be it only my imagination" Touma said with a relief face.
"I have to go now Biribiri, See you later" Touma said to Mikoto
"I JUST TOLD YOU STOP CALLS ME BIRIBIRI!" Mikoto shouted again and throw a lightning bolt to Touma as he running away.
"FUKOU-DA!" Touma shouted while chasing by Mikoto.
After Touma return to his dorm, Touma put his supermarkets grocery in the kitchen and decided to go check on Mika.
"I should cook for Mika today" Touma thought while walking toward Mika's room
Touma pressed the door bell couple time and no sign of Mika.
"Where is she?" Touma thought while trying again but still no sign of her
"May be she go out somewhere, I try again at night" Touma thought while walk back to his room.
At the same time Mika was arrived at the research lab in 12th district and started walking around while looking lab's floor plan.
"Lucky~, this lab's security is the same as last one, this should a piece of cake" Mika's thought while walking around the lab.
"I just wait until dark then I start moving." Mika thought while looking around for place to wait.
Back at the dorm 12:00AM
Mika walked toward her room and thought "this lab also don't have information about the experiment... oh way what can I do.. Tomorrow night I have to start all over again"
Mika tried to find a room key in her bag and unlock her door. As she close the door. Touma heard the sound as he come out from the toilet.
"Mika come back already?" Touma thought while look for the time.
"WHAT! It 12:05AM, what Mika up too... I should ask her tomorrow" Touma thought while walk toward his bed as he getting ready for sleep.
Lunch time in a certain high school
After the bell ring indicated that morning class is over. Touma called and took Mika to the roof top.
"Mika are you okay? Why are look so tried?" Touma asked Mika while look at her
Mika surprised by his question and quickly answer "I been studying"
"Eh~ where did you go yesterday? I went to check you up afterschool and you not there. And you came at 12AM?" Touma looked at Mika without looking away.
"Oh no! how can I answer this question?" Mika thought while looking down on the floor. At this time Mika couldn't look at Touma face.
As Touma noticed Mika is getting more panic, Touma going to continue ask her but ... Aogami enter to the rooftop and saw Touma with Mika together.
Aogami decided to run toward them "KAMI-YAN~ Are you trying to confess your love to Takahiko-chan~" Aogami shouted while running toward Touma with both of his hand in the air.
Touma and Mika surprised as saw Aogami running toward them.
Aogami continued shout while running "Kami-yan~ I can't believe you include childhood friend in your harem!" Aogami did not notice that Touma was annoyed and had his fist ready for him.
As Aogami came closer to Touma, "HOW MANY TIMES TO I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT I DON'T HAVE A HAREM" Touma shouted while punches Aogami straight to his face which result in Aogami faint on the floor.
Then Touma decided not to ask Mika further as Aogami interrupted and Touma started walk toward the door and thought "Mika look very strange just now when I ask her question about last night. She is hiding something but what."
Mika relieved as she saw Touma walk back to the classroom. Mika thought "Thank you for worrying about me and sorry." Then Mika started walk back to the classroom and leave Aogami faint on the floor alone.
Mika's Room 11:00PM
Mika finished the preparation, Mika ready to go to research lab in 10th district. This research is not that far away compare to the last 2 research labs. Mika walked toward the door and thought "Touma should be getting for sleep right now". Mika closed and locked the door as quiet as she can.
"Sorry" Mika said softly while look at Touma door and walk away.
Touma realised that he forgot to close the curtain so he walk toward the window. Before he closed the window he looked out the window and see Mika running.
"Mika! Where is she going at this time?" Touma said it out loud while watch Mika running. Touma wanted to go after her but it too late. Touma didn't know where she heading so he decided to ask her tomorrow again.
"I better get some answer tomorrow" Touma said while close the curtain with determent looks.
11:45PM
Mika finally reached to the research lab in 10th district.
"I have to be careful today, this lab security is tighter than the other 2 and I cannot hack to their security system" Mika putted on her mark.
Mika was hiding behind the tree in front of the entry to the lab.
"I have to use the front door today" Mika thought while look at the front entry where there are 2 security cameras and 2 security guards. Then Mika used the power to create a thin ice to cover the lens of the 2 security cameras which this would block the camera vision.
"This should get they attention, in about 5 minutes the guard in the security room will told this two security guards to check the security cameras. But by the time they check the camera the ice properly melt away so it look like it just a water.. And by the time they finish the checking I will be inside. That is my chance" Mika thought while waiting for the opportunity.
"Even though I cannot hack the security system but I able to get information about security guards rules and patrolling time with this information I can predict what they are likely to do this kind of situation" Mika thought while watching the two security guards started talking on their communication devices.
Then one of the security guards walked out to get a better view of the security camera.
"I can't see any things... It looks like there something cover the lens but I'm not sure... Can you get a ladder for me?" one of the security guard said while walking back to his position.
"It shows time!" Mika thought while running toward the wall. Mika used her power to create an ice handle on the wall and quickly climbed toward the top of the wall. Then Mika found an opportunity to jump down to other side of the wall
Then one of the security guards came out of the building with a ladder. Then he started setting up the ladder.
"Oi, help me hold this ladder while I'm climb to check the camera" one of the security guard order.
"Okay" other security guards said while walking toward him.
When both of the security guards face away from the door. Mika quickly and quietly ran toward the door and able to get in.
"Lucky, that security guard who brings the ladder out didn't lock the door" Mika thought while opening and close the door when she comes in. Then she quickly opened her bag and brings out a white lab coat.
"Almost every Wednesday, there will be about 2-3 scientists still working at night. One of the scientists has brown long hair" Mika thought while wear the lab coat and put on a brown wig.
Yesterday Mika able to hack into some of system and able to get the scientist picture who work late at night. She thought if she disguise as one of them and walked in the building, the guard in the security wouldn't notice anything different.
"Remember don't look at the security camera~" Mika thought while started walk through the hallway.
"The information I need is on underground floor" Mika started walk down the stair. She didn't take the elevator because in the elevator they got a camera which Mika cannot avoid.
Mika continued walking down the hall way on underground level then she saw the door with a sign 'Information Storage Room'.
"Find it" Mika said inside her head while take out her laptop and wire from her bag. She connected the wire to security lock beside the door handle and used a program to find a password.
"Come on come on... ah its open" Mika thought while look at her laptop screen. She quickly opens the door and close when she got in. Inside the room is fills ton of paper.
"It going to be long night" Mika thought while scratch on her head.
40 minutes later, "Ah~ where is it?... not this lab too" Mika thought while looking at the paper.
Then one particular file attracted her. "Umm.?" Mika grabbed the file and read the title.
"Sisters?..." Then the paper fallout from the folder as Mika didn't hold it tight enough.
"Arh! What am I doing create more work?" Mika said quietly while picking up the paper then she saw the word in one of the paper 'Clone Railgun...'.
"WHAT!" Mika thought while reading a through.
"From the estimated calculation using Tree Diagram, By preparing 128 different battle fields and killing Railgun 128 times Accelerator will be able to evolve into a level 6. As it is impossible to prepare 128 Railguns we have set our eye upon the level 5 Mass Production Project, 'Sisters", progressing in parallel. Via this re-calculation, by preparing 20,000 different battlefields and killing 20,000 Sisters the same results can be achieved"
Mika shocked after read the file, "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?" Mika accidently said it out loud with her eye is wide open while looking at the paper. Then she heard someone outside.
"Did you hear that" a guy outsides said while looked the room that Mika was in
"Let go check it out" as another guy replied and walked toward the door.
"SHIT! I accidently say it out loud" Mika thought while looked at the door and she started picking up the file about Sisters project and put in her bag.
Mika took her lap coat off and held it in her hand. She also took out a stun gun from her bag and put on a mask that only cover her mouth and nose. Mika waited until the guards open the door.
Right after the guards opened the door, Mika threw the lab coat to block the guards' vision.
"WHAT!" the guard shouted!
Mika ran toward them and kick one the guards in the face which result him fall down on the ground. Another guard still surprised so Mika quickly used stun gun to knock him out. Then she walked back to guard who been kick and shock him as well.
"I better get out of here" Mika thought while look at the 2 guards and started running toward the stair then the alarm go off.
"Intruder Alert, Intruder Alert, Intruder Alert!"
"SHIT!" Mika said it out loud while running through the hall way but she stopped in front of the stair as she heard a footstep from the stair. Mika decided to hide in another room to watch situation.
Mika saw 5 guards running through the hall way toward the 2 unconscious guards.
"What happen?" as one of the guards tried to wake them.
Then Mika came out from the room and created the thick ice wall to trap the guards whom just came.
"WHAT THE!" one of the guard surprised while see the ice wall.
"It esper!" he used his communicator to another tell other guards
Mika ran up the stair and she saw 2 other guards running down. She created ice on the stair steps that the guards were stepping on and slip.
"WHAT THE HELL!... ARGH!" both of them shouted while falling down the stair.
Mika continued running up the stair and when she reached the ground floor she could see about 10 guards standing in the hall way.
"STOP right there or we will shoot" one of the guards shouted as he see Mika while holding his gun and aim at Mika
Mika run toward the guards without any concern.
"SHOOT!" he gave an order but before they could shoot their gun no longer work as Mika already freeze all their gun.
"WHAT THE!" all of the guard shouted with a confuse look while look at their gun.
Mika created a small stair about 200 cm high to help her jump across all 10 guards while they still confused.
After she landed on the other side Mika turn back and created another thick ice wall between her and the guards to trap them.
"This is easy than I thought" Mika said while running toward exist.
There are no guards guarding the gate as most of them run inside the building as a backup. So Mika able to easy escaped and ran back to her dorm.
A Certain High School
Konome-sensei was teaching chemistry in class but Mika could not concentrate as last night she finished reading about the Sisters project.
"I can't believe this is truth... what should I do? Should I ask Mikoto?..." Mika thought while stare at a text book in front of her.
"No, she properly didn't know anyway. Mikoto will never do such things... I deal with this later now I have to focus of finding mum" Mika continued thinking
While Mika thought she didn't know that someone was watching her.
"Mika look strange again, should I go and ask her after school?" Touma thought while look at Mika
"No, she properly doesn't tell me anyway, I just follow her tonight if she decides to go out again" Touma thought and decided.
9:00PM
As Mika finished her preparation for tonight and start walk toward the door. At the same time, Touma hiding in behind the tree in front of the dorm.
"Is Mika going to come out tonight?" Touma thought while look toward the exit. Then he saw Mika walk out.
"Oh! That Mika, I should keep a distance so she doesn't know I'm tailing her" Touma thought and start followed Mika.
15 Minutes later, Mika walked toward the toilet in the certain park, as Touma could not follow so he hid behind a vender machine where he got a good view of the entry of the toilet.
"Going to toilet in the park?" Touma thought while scratch his head as he trying to figure out what going on with Mika
Then someone walked toward Touma and said "What are doing here?" Touma surprised and thought "how did Mika know I follow her". Touma slowly turn his head but it's not Mika. It's Misaka Mikoto.
"You nearly give me a heart attack Biribiri" Touma relieved as he realise that it not Mika.
"HOW MANY TIME DO I..." before Mikoto finished her sentence Touma quickly shut her mouth with his right hand. Mikoto surprised and start to blush.
"Shu! Be quiet" Touma said while look at the toilet and saw a girls wear a black jean and dark blue hood jumper walked out from the toilet. She also had a short light brown hair.
Mikoto saw the girl too with a suspect look.
"Oh, are you changing from idiot to stalker?" Mikoto asked Touma while trying to get a better look at her.
Touma ignored Mikoto
"Wait isn't that Mika?" before Touma could answer Mikoto mentioned after she got a good look at her
"Why are you following her? And why her hair is like that" Mikoto asked Touma while look at him
"She acts strange in this past week and I notice that she been going out at night... I'm trying to ask her but she avoids answering. She acts panic too" Touma explained to Mikoto while watching Mika walked out of the park.
"You should go back to your dorm now?" Touma ordered Mikoto while look at her
"Who do you think I am? I'm Mika's friend too and I also worry about her... I'm going to follow her too" Mikoto said and started follow Mika.
"Fukou-da" Touma said it quietly and follow Mikoto.
Research Laboratory in District 12th
This research laboratory was not far from the city and the surrounding of the research laboratory is mainly office work. Mika was hiding in the ally of an office building.
"This is the last place, if this is not the one... I don't know where to look" Mika thought as she looked at the research laboratory.
Mika closed her eye and took a deep breath before running across the road and used her power to create ice handles on the wall. She started climbing and she looked around before she jump down to the other side of the wall.
At the same time Touma and Mikoto watched Mika's action.
"What is she doing?" Touma said while watch Mika climbing the wall.
"Should we follow her?" Mikoto asked Touma while glance at him.
"I don't think we should... we should wait for her here" Touma said to Mikoto while trying to think what wrong with her.
"What is this facility anyway?" Touma said while look around
"If I remember it correctly this is a research laboratory. The main research is about AIM" Mikoto said while look at the lab building.
"AIM...But why did Mika... ARH! Nothing make sense?" Touma said while scratch his head.
Touma and Mikoto don't know that they also been watched by a group of arm people. One of the guys was on top of the building and looking down.
"Release the gas" the guy who on top of the building received an order.
"Yes sir" he answered and started to turn on a certain machine.
The gas started coming out of the tube which locates on top of Mikoto and Touma. As this certain gas was heavy than the oxygen. The gas started to fall down toward Touma and Mikoto.
"Biribiri did you smell something?" Touma said while started stiffing then he turn his face toward Mikoto. Mikoto already affect by the gas as she start to fell down on ground. Touma catch Mikoto.
"Oh! BIRI BIRI!" Touma yelled while holding on Mikoto then his head start to feel heavy and his vision is getting burry.
Then Touma saw 4 guy wearing a gas mark and black arm suit walked toward him.
"who are this guy...?" Touma thought and faint.
Inside the building
Mika was running through the hall way as she look around
"Where is all the security?" Mika thought as she only saw the security guard outside the building.
"Is this a trap?" Mika sudden thought and stop running
"This can't be right? How did they know I'm coming? Is it because of yesterday?" Mika thought "Maybe I'm thinking too much. I better find the data storage room and get out of here quickly" Mika started to run toward the stair.
"The data storage room is on 2nd underground floor" Mika thought while running down the stair. As Mika reach the 2nd underground floor, she opened the door that lead to the hallway. The hallway completely dark, Mika walked in while taking out her torch. But before she turns on, the lights sudden turn on.
Mika surprised as what she thought should be a hallway but instead it an hall but look more like an experiment hall.
"WELCOME! Takahiko Mika-chan~!" a guy sudden appeared in the middle of the room. Mika surprised.
"I been waiting for you" he continued talking while look at Mika. The guy who talking had short black hair and wore a lab coat. He was about 175cm tall and not too fat.
"Who are you!" Mika asked the guy in front of her.
"My name is Takagi, I'm the head of this research facility... you must be Kimiyo's daughter" Takagi introduced himself
Mika open her eye wider as she heard her mother's name with a surprise expression. "WHERE IS SHE?" Mika shouted at Takagi with an angry expression.
"Wow wow~ clam down young lady... let say that your mother is in this building but I can say that she not going to lived every long~" Takagi said while look at Mika with a clam face.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER" Mika shouted at Takagi furiously
"I didn't do any things, it was you" Tagaki said while pointing to Mika
"STOP LYING AND TAKE ME TO HER NOW" Mika shouted and start to run toward Takagi.
"What a hot head young lady" Tagaki shake this head lightly and took a hand gun out of his pocket and shoot at Mika. Mika able to dough the bullet and she took few steps back.
"Please calm down~... or you want your friends to get hurt" Tagaki said to Mika calmly as a gate beside him open. There are 1 power suit walk into the hall while holding Touma and Mikoto.
As Mika saw her friends and called for her friends "TOUMA! MIKOTO!" but no response.
"Why did you kidnap them... they are not involve in this. Let them go now" Mika said to Takagi angrily.
"I didn't kidnap them, I saw these 2 wondering around outside of the lab so I decide to invite them" Takagi explained to Mika while smiling.
"Did they follow me here? I so stupid, I didn't notices" Mika thought while gritting her teeth
"What are you going with them" Mika asked Takagi
"umm.. I haven't decide that yet~" Takagi said while turn his face up put his hand on his chin.
As Mika saw that Takagi is toying with her. She started getting more and more angrier. The temperature in the hall started to drop. But Mika didn't notice that someone walked toward her back as she only concentrated what in front of her. Then he's shoot the stun gun at Mika.
"ARGH!" Mika cried in pain as electricity run through her body. Mika fell down on the ground but still conscious. Mika unable to move her body as her body paralysed. Takagi started walking toward Mika and stop in front of her. Takagi bend down while looked at Mika face.
"You really don't know about your mother don't you" Takagi asked Mika while staring at her
Takagi stand up started to explain "Allow me to explain... your mum esper ability is called 'Exchange'. She can exchange every things but it can be only do it when it's an equivalent exchange. For example a certain disease that you have when you were born" Takagi explained while walking around.
Mika's eyes open wider as she cannot believe what Takagi talking about. Takagi continued "you suppose to die when you were 10 years old as there are no cure for this certain disease but your mother use her esper ability to exchange your disease with her health. It took about 10 years until your mother able to transfer all the disease to herself."
In Mika's mind are over flow with questions "WHAT THE HELL IS HE TALKING ABOUT? HE LYING. HE LYING. IT CAN'T BE TRUTH?"
Then Takagi bend down again as he explain "As your condition is getting better and better. Your mother's condition is getting worst and worst" as he point his finger to Mika. "But you properly won't notice as she hide it from you" Takagi stood up again while look at Mika who look confuse.
"So to conclude it's your fault that your mother is dying now... It quite a surprise that she able to hold it for 5 years"
"Mum is dying because of me" Mika muttered while her tears starting running down as she still cannot believe and don't know what to do anymore.
"So then why did you kidnapped Mika's mother as you already know that" Takagi surprised and start looking around try to find the source of the voice. It's Touma.
"oh! You're awake" Takagi said while look at Touma
"Answer my question" Touma said while glance at Takagi
"That an easy question, it's because her power is interesting. She is the first person who has this kind of power and I want to do experiment on her but she declined my offer. Then she went to do research in the military base so I cannot kidnap her with that tight security. So I have to wait WHOLE 3 years until she comes out." Takagi explained to Touma but more like complaint.
"Is that all" Touma said while gritting his teeth and clench his fist.
"Where do you think you going?" Touma shouted while watching Takagi. But Takagi ignore Touma and walked out of the hall. Touma could not run after Takagi because the powered suit still holding on Touma.
Mika's still in shock with her eye wide open as she lies on the floor. In Mika's mind was overflow with question. "Why mum doing this? I don't want this. I should be the one who protect her. Why am I so weak? Why do I went through all the training and still I can't protect the one I loved to most. Why...why..." Mika's tear continued running as she thinks.
Then one of the Takagi's men grabbed Mika's arm and try to carry her.
"Don't you dare touch her!" Touma shouted as he saw that Mika going to be taken away.
"What are you going to do" the man replied while smirk at Touma. "That powered suit can crunch you without a problem" Man said while point this finger to the powered suit.
Touma gritting his teeth as thought. "How can I defeat this powered suit? I don't have any power or weapon to defeat them" as Touma looked around try to find a way to defeat this thing. He saw Mikoto as she still unconscious and also holds by the same powered suit.
"OI! Biribiri wake up!" Touma shouted to Mikoto but still no response from Mikoto. Touma continued shout "BIRIBRI WAKE UP ALREADY! STOP SLEEPING LIKE A 'KID'!".
Sudden a blue spark started to appear on Mikoto. "I'M NOT A KID! YOU'RE BAKA!" Mikoto shouted while release a powerful lightning around her. As Mikoto could not fully control of her power because the drug affect her. The lightning went wild.
The man who wore the powered suit sudden feels the electric running through the suit and his body. "ARHG!" the man inside the powered suit cried in pain and released Touma and Mikoto as the powered suit shut down due to power overload. "Biribiri...you use your too much pa...power...Fuko-da" as Touma fell down on the floor as he also got electrocute by Mikoto. Touma turned his head to look at the man who tried to take Mika and he can see that man was already unconscious due to Mikoto lightning.
"Lucky that the lighting doesn't hit Mika" Touma thought as he forces himself to get back on his feet as started walk toward Mika. Touma grabbed Mika's shoulder with his 2 hands "Mika are you okay?" but still no response from her even though her eye still open.
Mikoto walked toward Touma with a confuse look and rubbing her neck as Mikoto doesn't know what going on. "Hey, what going on? I can't remember anything" as Mikoto tried to remember what happen.
Touma explained to Mikoto about what happen included Mika's mother is here somewhere in this building.
"That why when I ask about her mother she sudden act differently" Mikoto said while thinks about the past. "so what should we do now" Mikoto asked Touma.
"umm, we should save Mika's mother and get out of here but before that we need to wake Mika first as we can't leave her here or carry her in this state" Touma said and looked at Mika who still in shock.
"umm.. that right" Mikoto walked toward Mika and put her 2 hands on Mika's shoulder and start to shake her very hard. "MIKA MIKA! WAKE UP ALREADY!" but still no response from Mika.
Mikoto sighed as she lifted her right hand as she said "I don't want to do this but..." and slap hard on Mika's left cheek.
Mika finally came back to reality as she put her hand on her left cheek which started to turn red. "Mikoto... Touma..." Mika said while look at both of them. "What should I do? I'm the one who make mum suffer for all these years? If I didn't born mum probably be well and happy..." as her eyes started watery.
Touma looked at Mikoto and nod to her. Mikoto saw Touma nodded and she nodded back and start to lift her right hand and slap at Mika left cheek again.
"YOUR MOTHER IS STILL ALIVE! AND SHE IS SOMEWHERE IN THIS BUILDING! STOP WASTING TIME AND GO SAVE HER" Mikoto shouted at Mika but Mika didn't response to Mikoto words
Then Touma grab Mika's collar and shout at her face "YOUR MOTHER DID ALL THIS BECAUSE SHE LOVE YOU, AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER YOUR MOTHER ALWAYS SMILED AT YOU. SHE WANTS YOU TO CONTINUE MOVING FORWARD! NOT BECOME LIKE THIS! YOU ARE HER DAUGTHER RIGHT AND NOW IT YOUR TURN TO SAVE HER." Mika's tear started to fall from her eye.
Mika wiped her tear as she stood up and she took a deep breath before saying "Let go!" with a confident look. Touma and Mikoto smiled as Mika is back to herself again. Before they ran after Takagi, Mika picked up a stun gun and hand gun from one of the men and gave it to Touma. "You know how to use right, you don't have esper power so you better use this" Touma nodded and take both of the guns from Mika.
Mika, Touma and Mikoto started running toward the gate. "From the floor plan, my mum should be below us." Mika said while running. As they ran through the hallway, 10 security guards with a machine gun came out and started shooting at them.
"Stay behind me!" Mika shouted while create a large ice shield to block all the bullets. Touma and Mikoto quickly move behind Mika. Mikoto started sends a lightning bolt.
"What the hell!" one of the security guards said while saw lightning bolt coming closer and knock all 10 guards. Mika and Mikoto continued running like nothing happen while Touma look at both of them with his mouth wide open.
"Hey, Mika you're not level 2 right?" Mikoto asked Mika while running. "Sorry to lie to you, I pretend to be level 2 during the system scan so no one will suspect me when I intrude the research laboratory and if I use my power. But I still don't know what level am I" Mika answered.
"You properly level 4 as you can do this much" Mikoto replied.
Then another 10 security guards come in front of them but this time. "I take care this one" Mikoto said to Mika while start to generate electricity. Mikoto quickly created a lightning bolt and throw at the security guards before they could start shooting. All ten of the security guards knocked out in 1 single attack.
Finally Mika, Touma, and Mikoto arrived at their destination. Touma looked back and saw 20 more unconscious guards on the floor as some are electrocute. Touma thought "I will never ever make these two angry".
Mika walked toward the door and try to open but its lock. "Damn it, I left my laptop in that hall. I guess we have to break the door. Mika said and started to use her ability but Mikoto interrupted her.
"Mika this is my job" Mikoto said while putted her hand on the security lock and sent a small amount of electric in. Then the door is open.
"Nice Biribiri, you power actually more useful than I think" Touma said while look at Mikoto.
"How many times do I have to tell you that, my name is Misaka Mikoto!" Mikoto shouted at Touma with an angry expression.
"Both of you, this is not the time for lovely duffy" Mika scolded at these two before opening the door.
"What... Fuko-da" Touma said while scratch of his head and Mikoto start to blush.
This room was as big as a school gym and most of it's an empty space. As Mika looked around, she saw a computer in the right corner and capsule bed connects with the machines and other equipments. "Mum might be in the capsule bed" Mika thought and start to run.
But as she ran a certain high pitch noise start to ring. "ARGH!" Mika and Mikoto started to scream as the pain in the head start getting stronger and stronger. It feels like a thousand of needles pin into the head. Both Mika and Mikoto fall down on their knee and put both of their hands on the head.
"What happened?" Touma ask while holding Mikoto
"It's...capacity down...it's only affect ESPer as it's interfere with our brain which result we can't use our power and get a strong headache. But this one is stronger than the last time" Mikoto tried to explain to Touma who only had no effect of this high pitch sound.
"Of cause it's stronger, I'm the one who improve it. The higher level you are more pain you get" Takagi who walked in from the gate in front of Mika. Takagi wore a powered suit but this one look different from other one.
"Why you!" Touma said while charging to Takagi but Mikoto grabbed him. "You can't win against him... you must find a control room and shut the capacity down" Mikoto told Touma while trying to hold in the pain.
"But where is the control room?" Touma said while gritting his fist.
"Oi! Boy the control room is on the second floor." Takagi told Touma as Touma surprised as he heard the location of the control room. Takagi continued "let play a game. Who's faster? While you running to the control room I will play with these two and if you able to get to the control room fast enough. These two can start using their power again but if you slow... I might not grantee their safety." Takagi putted on an evil smile as he explained to Touma.
"How do I know you not lying about the location of the control room" Touma asked Takagi with angry face and clench his fist. Then Mika said "He's not lying, I remember the floor plan the control room is on the second floor at the end of the hall way to the left" Mika said while look at Touma with her hand on her head.
"Okay let the game 'START!'" Takagi yelled while walked toward Mika. "GO! Touma this is the only way" Mikoto told Touma. "We be okay somehow" Mika also said to Touma while she force herself to stand up. Then Touma yelled "Damn it" while started run to the control room.
"What should I do with you two" Takagi said while walking toward Mika. "Oh! I forgot to tell you something, your mother is sleeping in that capsule tube over there" Takagi mentioned as he points to the capsule. Then Takagi charged toward Mika while Mika step backwards and trying to read Takagi move.
Takagi threw punches and kicks to Mika but Mika able to dodge as she been train about close-combat in the military for 3 and a half years but Mika could barely dodge some of his attack as the pain in her head prevent her to think and move properly.
"HAHAHA! THIS IS SO MUCH FUN!" Takagi shouted while continue his attack to Mika. Then Mika lose her focus and got punch into her stomach. "ARGH!" Mika cried out in pain and down on her knee. Mika used her right hand to touch her stomach as pain start to erupt. Then Takagi tried to kick Mika at the face but Mika used her hand to block. Takagi kick sent Mika smash into the wall.
"MIKA!" Mikoto called her friend as she helpless can't do anything except to watch. Takagi looked at Mikoto and said "you're next young lady," as he started walked toward Mikoto.
Mika fell on to the ground as her vision getting burry but Mika forced herself to stand. "Oi!..I'm... not...finish...with...you...yet..." Mika said while trying to catch her breath. Takagi looked at Mika with an evil smile "This is good...good...!" as he changed direction and starts walked toward Mika slowly.
At the same time Touma was now on the ground floor running up the stair toward the control room. "Only two more floor to go" as he saw the sign and continued running while breathing through his mouth hard. Finally Touma reached the second floor, "FINALLY" Touma said it out loud while catching his breath. Then one guard with a gun came and started shooting at Touma.
"What!" Touma shouted while jump into the room beside him to avoid the bullet. Touma took out a hand gun that Mika gave it to him and thought "how to use it again?" Then shooting noises stopped as the guard running out of bullet. "This is it!" Touma thought while running out from the room and run toward the guard who changing his bullets. Then Touma threw the hand gun as hard as he could toward the guard face but he able to dodge it.
"Why did he throw a gun?" the guard thought while looking at the gun. By the time he turned his face back, he saw a fist coming straight to his face and hit directly on his face. The guard fell down on the floor and unconscious. Touma looked at the guard while catching his breath and start to run toward the control room and thought "If Mika see this, she properly scolds me to death as this is not how you use gun."
Touma opened door, he can saw there are one more guard sat in front of the computer screen. "How come it take you so long to finish you job" the guard said as he thought it's his friend who walked in the room. Touma quickly walked toward the guard and used a stun gun on the guard's neck. "ARGH!" he cried as falling down on the floor and unconscious.
Touma thought while look at the unconscious guard "This is how Biribiri feel when she electrocuted someone". Then Touma grabbed the chair that the guard been sitting on and start blasted the control machines.
At the same Takagi held Mika's neck while laughing "HAHAHAHAHA YOU GOING TO DIE TODAY!" Mika used both of her hand hold Takagi hand and kicking him but no luck as powered suit was too strong. Then Mikoto ran toward Takagi and yell "LET HER GO NOW!" But Takagi kicked Mikoto which send her back where she came from. Mikoto was lying on the floor while calling "Mika..."
Mika vision getting burry and she could not hold the pain longer as she running out of breath. Then the high pitch noise stopped which surprised Takagi. Mikoto quickly used her electric magnet throw Takagi to other side of the hall. Takagi lost gripped of Mika as he has been thrown by Mikoto.
Mikoto quickly ran toward Mika and held her. "Mika are you okay?" Mikoto asked while Mika's coughing and trying breathing through her mouth hard.
"HAHA look like I lost to that boy but this doesn't mean still losing to you two" Takagi said while walk toward a certain huge box near the gate that he came in. Then he opens the box and grabs a huge sword.
"Now, the real fight start!" Takagi shouted and started to run toward Mikoto and Mika.
Mikoto put Mika down on the floor and started to generate electric and created a lightning bolt and thrown to Takagi. "TAKE THIS!" Mikoto shouted. This lightning bolt is 2 times stronger than the one that she used to get rid of the guards. But Takagi powered suit is design to resistances electricity which caused Mikoto's lightning bolt not work on him. Mikoto surprised as she watched her lightning bolt ineffective. But she keep threw lightning bolts to Takagi to stop him coming toward them as each time Takagi need to stop to block Mikoto's attack.
As Mikoto saw that her attack was not working and grabbed a coin from her pocket. "Then how about this?" she shouted as she used her signature move 'railgun'. Its aimed at Takagi directly but he able to use this sword to change the direction of the railgun because he cannot block as the attack was too strong. Takagi smirked to Mikoto and say "Is that all you got" then he ran toward Mikoto.
Mikoto completely shocked as she saw her attack was ineffective again. But then Mikoto realised that Takagi already in front of her as the powered suit increase his speed. Then he used the non-Sharpe edge of the sword and swing and hit Mikoto's stomach which send Mikoto right into the wall.
"GARH!" Mikoto scream out in pain as she hit the wall. Then Mikoto fall out on the ground and curl up as the pain on her stomach is undecidable.
Mika saw what happen to Mikoto, she started grinning her teeth and her fist and look at Takagi with a killing intense. "STAND UP ALREADY! YOU HAVE TO SAVE MIKOTO!" Mika scolds herself in her mind.
Then the temperature room started dropping as Mika putted her hand on the ground then she freeze both of Takagi legs. "What the!" Takagi shouted while trying to move his legs. Then Mika started to stand up and said "Oi! I'm your opponents!" She looked at Takagi with an angry and determinant face.
As Takagi saw Mika face, he smirked back and said "what a scary face" then he break the ice by just moving his leg. He putted the sword on his shoulder and start run toward Mika.
Mika took a deep breath as she saw Takagi run toward her. Then Takagi used swing his sword at her but she's able to dodge and step back. Then she created ice blades and sends toward Takagi with high speed. Takagi swing his sword and break all the ice blades. Then he dash toward her and swing the sword. She quickly created thick ice wall to protect her but the sword cut through the ice. Just a 10 centimetres between her stomach and the sword, the sword nearly cut her.
Mika quickly run back to keep a distance from him. "Shit! Nothing work on him, what should I do?" she thought as she look at the ice wall that falling apart.
"This is getting boring~" Takagi complained as he put a giant sword on his shoulder.
Then Mika looked at Mikoto and sudden got an idea. She quickly run toward Mikoto and said "Mikoto, Mikoto are you okay? I got a plan" while Mika used her hand and lightly shake Mikoto.
"What plan?" Mikoto said with one eye open while slowly sit up right as her stomach still hurt. Then Mika quickly explained her plan.
"I see, I think this plan should work" Mikoto agreed to Mika plan and standing up.
Mika smiled and looks at Takagi who still waiting for both of them to attack.
"Are you done with your chit chatting?" Takagi said with a broad look. Then Mikoto took a deep breath before start generated her electricity and send toward Takagi.
Takagi sighed as he saw Mikoto used the same attack that doesn't work on him. Takagi put a giant sword in front of him to block Mikoto's attack. But this doesn't bother Mikoto as she continued generated her electricity and sent to Takagi.
"Oi oi~ what are you doing? This attack doesn't work on me. Can't you see?" Takagi asked with a broad face as he still blocked the attack without realised that Mikoto's attack was not a direct attack. Then Takagi started to sweat and the temperature in powered suit is rising.
Takagi sighed again and said "I getting broad~ I'm going to finish you now" He walked toward Mikoto and Mika. Then Mika smiled and asked "when a diamond expose to an extreme heat then expose to an extreme cold temperature. Do you know what happen?"
"Hah?" Takagi who still didn't understand what Mika were saying then he open his eye wider as he finally understand. "Don't tell me!"
"Too slow!" Mika shouted as Mikoto stopped her attack and Mika aim her hand toward Takagi. Then suddenly the temperature around Takagi started to drop fast. The powered suit start to clack and the display screen start to display and 'warning'.
Then Mika created a giant ice ball and throw toward Takagi. Takagi no longer can move as the powered suited start to shut down. The giant ice ball smash against Takagi and send Takagi to other end of the room.
Touma finally arrived back and he saw powered suit on the floor. Then Mika gave a victory sign to Touma. "Finally it over" Touma said while sitting down on the floor. Then Mika walked toward the capsule bed and she could see her mum is lying in there. Mika quickly walked to one of the computer to open the capsule. As the capsule opened Mika start to call "Mum Mum it's me... Mika" and Mika started to touch her mother's face.
Then Kimiyo open her eye as she heard familiar voice. "Is this you Mika?" her mum said with a soft voice while trying to open her eye. As Mika saw her mum still alive her tears start coming down non-stop. "Mum I miss you so much!" Mika said while she hugs her mum.
"Me too, I wanted to see you so much" Kimiyo replied while put her hand on her daughter head. "Mum, Is it truth that you been using your esper power to save me from that certain disease?" Mika asked Kimiyo while look at Kimiyo face.
"ar.. sorry for keep it a secret, I cannot see you dying as a mother I need to do something this then I start do it without thinking" Kimiyo explained to Mika while put her hand on Mika face. Then Kimiyo started to cough with blood. "Mum ARE YOU OK?" Mika surprised and quickly asked her mum with a panic face as she saw blood. Touma and Mikoto run toward Mika and Kimiyo as they saw Kimiyo's condition is getting worst.
"Mika we should take your mum to a hospital" Touma said while look at Kimiyo. "Oh.. is that you Kamijou Touma and Misaka Mikoto, you growth so much?" Kimiyo said while she looks both of them. "Takahiko-san we will take you to hospital now so please hang on" Touma said while trying to carry Kimiyo. "It okay, I don't have much time" Kimiyo stop Touma and said while smiling to Mikoto and Touma.
Mika opened her eye wider as she heard. "No no no you can't live me alone again, what am I going to do without you?" Mika hugged her mum. "Mika I know you can step forward without me... look you still got Touma-kun and Mikoto-chan with you." Kimiyo started to cough again. "Mum!"
"Touma-kun after this takes Mika to a certain hospital and look for a doctor call 'Haven Canceller'. He is my teacher who I respect the most. Just mention my name he will know what to do" Kimiyo asked Touma a favour while looking at him. Touma answered with soft tone "yes". As she turned her head to look at Mikoto "Mikoto-chan please continue be friend with Mika and say good bye to your mother for me" Mikoto nod as her tear go down her face.
Kimiyo wiped Mika's tear from Mika's face as she say her final sentences "Mika listen to me you must continue walking forward...and I also way love you..." Then Kimiyo's hand slowly fell down on the bed as she close her eye. "Mum...Mum...Please don't leave me!" Mika started to cry and hug her mum's body. Mikoto also started crying and use her both hand cover her face. Touma only look away with a watery eye.
Then someone sudden appeared at Mika's back with a gun aiming to her. "DON'T WORRY I SEND ALL OF YOU TO SEE HER AGAIN" Takagi said and pull a trigger. Touma and Mikoto could not react in time as Takagi pull a trigger two times. Two of the bullets hit Mika's back then Touma dash toward Takagi as Mikoto shoot a spark toward Takagi's hand.
Takagi drop gun as the spark hit him. "ARGH YOU BRAT..." Takagi cried out then Touma punch him as hard as he could "YAHHH! DAMN IT!" with an angry expression. Takagi's fall on to the floor with his eye roll back.
"Mika are you okay" Mikoto run toward Mika. Mikoto started to get panic as Maki's bloods keep coming out from her wound. Touma run toward Mika and see her wound "We need to stop her blood or else she will..." Touma's gritting his teeth while thinking how to stop the blood.
"It's okay I can stop the bleeding..." Mika said while trying to keep her eye open. As Mika concentrates, the ice start to form over both of her wound which stop the bleeding. Touma carried Mika on his back and start running toward the hospital and Mikoto follow. Mika's faint on the way to the hospital.
3 days later: In a Certain Hospital's Room
In a room number 222, Mika was lying on the bed with medical equipments beside her. Mika started to gain her consciousness back "where am I?" Mika thought while slowly open her eyes. She looked around then see someone walk in. "oh, you awake. You're been sleep for 3 days" as Heaven Canceller said to her. "Who are you?" Mika asked Heaven Canceller.
"My name is Heaven Canceller, I use to be your mother teacher" He said while look at Mika. Then Mika tear started to fall as she remembers what happen 3 days ago. Heaven Canceller continued "1 year ago your mother send me a letter and ask me to took care of you when she gone so from now on I become your guardian. If you need anything just call me" Mika wiped of her tear with her hand and look at Heaven Canceller, "Your mother is a great person who loved you so much so please continue to walk forward" Heaven Canceller said and start walk toward the door.
"Oh I forgot to tell you something, Takagi has been arrest by Anti-Skill and his research facility has been shut down. So you don't need to worry about that anymore" Heaven Canceller said while turn his head back to look at Mika.
"Thank you so much" Mika said to Heaven Canceller. "This is all I can do for you. Now you need to rest" Heaven Canceller said while leaves the room.
Mika close her eye and thought about her mother as tear start running down. Then she suddenly heard a sound outside her room "HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT MY NAME IS MISAKA MIKOTO NOT BIRIBIRI" Mikoto shouted at Touma. "Biribiri we are in the hospital keep your voice down" Touma tried to calm Misaka down. But as Touma still keep mentioned 'Biribiri' result in Mikoto getting angrier but she's able to hold her power.
Mika started laughing as Touma and Mikoto walking in the room.

Mikoto walked toward the room number 222 in a certain hospital with a fruits basket. Mikoto stopped and knock the door before she's open. "I'm coming in, Mika" as Mikoto open the door.
Mikoto walk in while saying "I brought this for you" as she lifts the fruits basket. "Oh, Thank you~" Mika reply while put the book down as she been reading to kill time. Mikoto put the fruit basket on the table and walk toward Mika. "How are you?" Mikoto asked. "Still the same" Mika answers while look at Mikoto.

"Room number 8XX" Mikoto repeat in her mine as she walking and look at each door. "ah, this is Mika's room" as Mikoto grabbed a room key from her bag and unlock the door. As she walking, she thinks while looking around "this room look better than I thought".
Then she accidently step on a apron "What's this?" Mikoto picked the apron up and saw a name written on it "Kamijo Touma!" She surprised "Why! Why! That idiot belonging is in Mika's room or..." Then Mikoto start to image Touma happily cooking for Mika and she started to blush. "Not possible!" as she shake her head very hard and tried to forgot it. Then Mikoto started to walk toward the wardrobe and start putting Mika's cloth in the bag.
"Did I forget anything?" Mikoto said while looking around. "ah laptop" then she walk toward Mika's laptop and pick it up. Then a folder on the table fell down on the floor. "how come Mika has so many paper? Is it her school work?" Mikoto blend down to pick up the folder and she see the title 'Sisters Project'.

"Sorry Mikoto, I don't know how to tell you about this and I don't know is this experiment is true or not" Mika say while look down as she can't look at Mikoto's face. "At first I think I'm going to deal with it later after I save my mum but now you find out..."
Then Mikoto tried convince herself "This experiment can't be true... this properly only a report from Tree Diagram. They can't carry this experiment anyway" Mikoto said with her shock expression while pretend to be fine.
