A Certain Foreign Gemstone
Chapter 4: Power of a Gemstone
PLACE: Academy City

April 12th, 20XX
Jouichi POV:
I woke up falling down. I was dropped like a pebble to the floor, as if gravity was just the chain that yanked me down. I needed to grab a hold of something, but instead I felt something.
The pain I felt when my head hit the floor, you can only imagine it.
"Oof!"
I began to rub my head, the area where my head hit.
"Hey! What the heck was that for?"
I exclaimed at the brown haired guy in front of me. This guy wore I had to have someone to blame.. But there was a huge crowd behind this guy, just staring down at me. Just looking past the person behind this guy in front of me, I saw that Shokuhou girl.
"AAH! It's that freaking blonde girl!"
There was something wrong with this situation though.. Many many many many many many many people had my eyes on me. It was like they were dead puppets waiting to be told to do something.
"..."
The atmosphere seemed dead. As if the moment I woke up, it became like this. I wanted to run but.. I felt kinda numb.
The guy standing right before me began to whisper.
"Don't worry, you have a former Level 5 on your side."
I snickered when I herd that. Oh my god... did I hear what I just heard. A FORMER Level 5. If what my neighbor said was true about this Level, this guy USE to be a powerful guy. Use to be..
"W-wha... What are you laughing about. This is no laughing matter. Especially for you."
"What Level are you again?"
I asked, but this guy persisted.
"This isn't a great time to tell you right now."
Something began to feel like a needle being poked into me, probably that girl again. I closed my eyes and sighed,
Why is this girl after me...
I begin to wonder, eyes closed just so slightly. The pain that I felt when I went straight to the floor began to subside as I took deep breaths.
I opened my eyes, but I didn't see what I'd usually see. There were pulses of light surrounding everything. One huge light was staring me to the face, a human-shaped light with wing-like proportions leaving its back. Another human-shaped light from behind looked like it was exerting pulses of light, which looked like wires, out from itself and was received by other figures that seemed dark, like it had no power to light itself. One of these wires went straight to my head, but couldn't go any further.
I couldn't hear a sound, well.. The sound sounded distorted, like it was blocked by something. All I can hear was the sound of an echo.
It was weird because this never happened before in my life. But then, a huge chunk of the human-shaped light that stood before me began to disperse bit by bit. Each individual light began to go into me. I looked down to see the dispersed light start to engulf my being. I looked everywhere, but as soon as my eyes closed, the light was gone and it was replaced by the people that was there and a feeling that I felt was familiar.
D-did I just use Eagle Vision..?
"Oi! Get up. Can't you hear me?"
The brown haired by asked in a panic and picked me up. But then I felt something in myself that couldn't be contained.
*Biri Biri*
Cackles of electricity began to surround the whole area.
First, the surrounding windmills in the area began to turn the opposite way. Then, buildings in the area began to light up. Seconds later, they lights shut off.
*Biri Biri*
Then, as if wild-like, electricity flowed out of my body. Making it's presence known. The brown-haired guy that was picking me up recieved a shock, a very long powerful shock.
"Aaaaauuughhh!"
The guy roared in pain, until it stopped and he fell to the floor. With burnt, sizzling skin.
"W-wha... errr... Ummm.. Yea.."
I was speechless.
Did I kill that guy? No! I'm too young to go into the slammer! Nooooooooooo!
To explain this no is easy, think of how a certain Sith Lord from Star Wars says it.
The sizzling corpse slowly began to move. Then, as if this never happened, the burn marks left him.
"Hey! That frekin' hurt!"
"Huh? How can someone receive such a powerful-looking electric shock."
With a large set of confidence, this guy declared, as if it was law,
"Heh. It's because I'm impervious to electric shocks."
"Hah? Weren't you screaming in pain much earlier?"
"..."
"..."
The atmosphere between us became very silent. Someone had to break the silence, and it wasn't either of us.
"H-hey! Stop ignoring me!"
"Oh. You're still here girl?"
The brown haired guy asked, it was very obvious that he was trying to piss her off, Shokuhou I mean.
"UUuuu... I'm going to kill you when I get my hands on you!"
The girl lifted her hand, one finger pointing to a general direction. An area where both me and this guy is occupying at the moment.
"Get them!"
"Heh."
The guy in front of me placed his right hand on the floor.
"HEY! WHAT THE CRAP ARE YOU DOING! I DON"T WANT TO GET CAUGHT BY THIS GIRL!"
I shouted on the top of my lungs.
"Just sit back and watch, O.K.?"
The former Level 5 ordered. He scooped his hands off the floor, like he was grabbing the dirt. As he did that, the ground began to tremble and a huge wall erected just in front of him. The length of this wall spawned from sidewalk to sidewalk.
Is this guy the effing Avatar? No, not the blue people from Pandora.. the guy with the arrow tattoos.
"See? No worries.."
The stampede of running stopped.
"That's what everyone says when they think they are safe.."
"Yea.. but we are safe."
The ESPer told me. I wanted to just run as my instincts told, but the ESPer told me it would be a horrible waste of energy. So I complied and took his advice. We began walking the opposite way until we herd a ring.
*ring*
A sound of an electric door bell sounded out. Both me and the other ESPer looked that way, as curiosity bested us. Our eyes looked upon a convenience store, where the end of the cement wall met. Half of the entrance was visible, but this is a convenience store with a double-door entrance.
Wow.. what a convenience..
The hypnotized people continued to chase us.
"I SHOULD'VE TRUSTED MY INSTINCTS!"
The two of us began to run, as if death was chasing us.
PLACE: Somewhere in Academy City
TIME: 17:53 (5:53P.M.)
April 12th, 20XX
Jouichi POV:
"Haaah..."
Man, for the past few days, my life has involved this thing called "running." Which I call on major shenanigans, and now ask myself..
WHY!
I breathed heavily, dropping myself onto the bench that sat just outside a restaurant. This guy who helped me escape from that girl, who is he exactly.
"We never really gone through introductions, huh."
The brown haired guy got out of his seat. His right thumb pointing to himself.
"I'm Misaka Tabikane. You are..?"
"Ah.. Kazegami Jouichi."
I introduced, well.. not as flashy as that guy.
"What the heck is your Level anyways?"
"0, why?"
"Ehh? It seems like you have a power though.."
"Not really.. My power is.. well.. it needs a catalyst."
"Which is?"
"A form of energy from the existence of charged particles, mainly from electrons and protons that rub at ea-"
"Dumb it down please."
I interrupted. The ESPer in front of me began to think of an easy way to say it.
"Electricity."
Tabikane concluded, he then continued.
"My power.. requires electricity to allow me to mess with Molecular structures, even if it is for a slight moment."
I took in the information, that power sounds kinda badass, but it didn't really make sense..
"May I get the name of this power? All ESPers have one right?"
The ESPer nodded. The brown haired guy began to inform me more.
"I have the ability to manipulate molecular structures through electricity. It's called an element's change, Molecular Manipulation. But I can't really manipulate anything because I can't produce any electricity."
"Ehh? Why?"
"I dunno.. But if you didn't shock me earlier, I wouldn't know how we'd escape from Misaki's wrath."
"So you mean that you have no power.. but miraculously gained it after a shock? Wow.."
I said, this guy nodded. I then continued with one final question.
"So..."
"Yea..?"
"... You're just a rechargeable battery with legs. Right?"
"..."
Tabikane became silent, just an exact amount of 8 seconds time was when he would finally respond.
"Huh? Well.. kind of- Argh!"
The brown haired ESPer began to think. For the next minute or so... a response finally came out of his mouth.
"Oh well.."
The ESPer placed something similar into my hands. My cell.
"You dropped this when you were knocked unconscious, also.."
The ESPer turned to a direction and pointed.
"If you go down this street right here.. You'll find your way to your dormitory if your phone is correct."
Then the ESPer turned back to me.
"So if you have any more questions, ask now or forever hold your peace."
I nodded, no if you ask.
"Well.. I'll bee going now. Jya, matta ne."
The ESPer ran off, like some energetic person.
A few minutes after the ESPer left, I was on my way home. Then, a question began to linger in my mind. Just one simple question.
Why does that guy look like a girl..?
PLACE: School Cafeteria
TIME: 11:? (11:?A.M.)
April 13th, 20XX
Jouichi POV:
I held a freshly baked bread in my hand, still steaming from the heat from inside the oven where it came out from.
*Sigh*
I was at the edge of my seat, not literally speaking. The power of a Level 5, the damn Eagle Vision I used.. I'm hurting myself when I think about it..
"Yo! Kaze-kun, you look stressed. Anything happen while you left for home?"
I turn my head to the sunglasses wearing friend I made yesterday.
If you could tell that much.. you didn't need to ask.
I sigh once more. Maybe he can tell me about the Level 5s.
Of course, I ask him, but through him eating that bento in his hands, I probably wont understand much.
"Tsukimichado-san.. Do you know anything about Level 5s?"
"Well of course, everyone knows about the Level 5s of Academy City."
"Can you tell me anything about them?"
"Hmnn, ok..."
That seemed too easy..
"You should know about the Seven Level 5s of Academy City by now, right?"
"I know some of them."
"Well, I won't bother with those guys."
Ehhh!
"But I can tell you about their powers. It may be a bit vague, but it will have to do.."
Oh... OK, for a second I thought he didn't really know about them.
Tsukimichado took out his phone and shown me a url. I took out my phone and typed out the address. The moment I pressed enter.. It shown two documents: the First listed as the Seven Level 5s of Academy City, the Second showing a link to another document labeled Former Level 5s of Academy City.
"These documents are almost two years old, but it should do.."
"Why is there a former Level 5s link?"
I asked, I never really herd of a former list before.. so it can also be misinformation.
"It is explained in the documents. If not, well then that's that."
I bookmarked the links and put the phone into my back pocket.
*Ring*
The sound of the electric school bell chimed, signaling us that we only have a few minutes till class begins.
"Well, see you to later."
"You sit right next to me though. I even see you where I sit from."
"Not me, I sit a few seats in front of ya Kaze-kun. So how can I see you?"
There is no arguing with this guy...
END OF CHAPTER 4
OK Guys... I really thought about the OC thing I mentioned, and I choose to do it. With great difficulty, it may come to pass. Also Here are some oppenings of the Former Level 5s and rankings and powers in this order.
Rank-Name-Epithet-Ability
1-Misaka Tabikane-Ionizer-Electromaster
2-Shinmen Mei-Nuclear Shell-Pyromaster
3-Unknown-Unknown-Unknown
4-Unknown-Unknown-Unknown
5-Unknown-Unknown-Unknown
6-Unknown-Unknown-Unknown
7-Unknown-Unknown-Unknown
The reasons on why they are former will be further explained in the next chapter. So if you want to submit, you can either PM it to me, which can be much easier because I can keep it on track. You must explain powers and no overpowering person with no weakness, there is always a weakness (No matter what situation). There can also be submissions for extra characters with your character, where one covers the others ability (It makes sense to me). GENDER IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT..
EXAMPLE-
Name: Ryuuzaki Kensei
Affiliation: FORMER (I'm making this dark-side group later)
Ability Name: Hydromaster
Ephithet: Bloody Leviathen
Ability Explanation (How it works): Power is to manipulate the water molecules to their will. In extremely stressful situations, the subject has shown the power to manipulate Blood within their bodies through the water molecules at will, thus gaining the nickname of "Bloody Leviathan". (This is a very weak explanation, cause was too lazy to add more) (Must refer Esper as Subject) (Atleast 2 paragraphs or 8+ sentence long with lots of details)
Age: 23
Occupation: Teacher-Student
Appearance (Can just be General facial Information): Has wavy black hair with a purplish hue, and green eyes. Kensei usually wears a look of an unsatisfactory look.
Personality: He firmly believes that people must do things themselves and not have other people help them. Has no trust towards others and is very selfish as a teenager.
Sexuality: Never took the Sexuality quiz
Height: 185.8cm (6'0.3" (Just over 6ft) (I measured))
Weight (If it is a woman, I can understand Unknown[n/A]): 61kG
Family: n/A
Background (You can have them interact with other OCs submitted by others if you wish, but you must consult with the author of that OC): As a child, Kensei has been sent to Academy City as a Child Error. (You guys can probably do better than me on the background information).
-END EXAMPLE
You can leave some off like the Ephithet if you couldn't think of one on the spot, but I will need names at the least. Also I cannot stress enough on details, so please, even the minor details count. So you guys can use the toaru wikia site to help explain some things, so yea...
One more thing, these people do not necessarily have to be Japanese, they can be from other countries that their parents sent them to Academy city as young kids to gain a power. Many of these characters may be shown, but not just out of the straight next chapter, but will most likely be spread out.
Additional NOTE: Please put the date of when your character entered Academy City, especially if they are new and are Transfer/Exchange students.. Can also be day when char shows up in story..
