Chapter 10: More Problems
Kiyama was busy preparing a sundae for Last Order in the kitchen, just then she heard the doorbell ring. She turned her head at that sound, and called out Accelerator, who came right at that moment.
"I want you to finish this Ice Cream." She simply said. The white-Haired guy nodded, and watched her leave the kitchen.
"Okay, now let's do this." He looked at the instructions, "Place a cherry on top of the desert, psh that's easy." He said the delicious cherry very slowly on top, and just then the entire ice cream went on fire. "OH GOD, THE ICE CREAM'S ON FIRE! AHHHH!"
The door opened and Mugino and Kinuhata fell down On the wooden floor, both exhausted. Harumi said, "Took you long enough to get here."
"Hey, we were busy trying to escape a situation!" The Meltdowner got herself up, "Just be glad we're here."
"I am, Hey Mikoto, we have guests!" The used to be inmate shouted to the halls.
In the meantime, Shizuri turned to her friend, "Listen Saiai, you're gonna like Misaka, she's nice and friendly." Just then, Said character was coming with her young sister, Mikoto looked at the guests and stopped short seeing one of them.
"YOU!" She shouted, then she shot out an electric shock at Mugino, completely toasting her, she fell on the floor. Mikoto was about to charge but Kiyama grabbed her wrist, saying, "Misaka, enough! She's with us!"
"What!? She was a part of that group that made the Sisters exist, why would she be coming-!" While the Electromaster argued, the dazed Shizuri got up and brushed herself off.
"Ah, I see what you mean about her being nice." Kinuhata replied sarcastically.
"Shut up!" Misaka stopped arguing with Kiyama, and looked at the two newcomers to the house, "Look, just so we're clear, I don't trust either one of you." She said sharply, then pointed at Saiai, "Especially you, since I don't know you."
"Okay then, I'm fine with that." Saiai shrugged her shoulders and walked to the hall, Mugino passed by Mikoto but not before letting herself get the look from her. She arrived at the kitchen, where Accelerator was busy using the fire extinguisher to burn out the ice cream fire. "Hi Accelerator." She started off with a simple greeting, but was given a blast from the extinguisher, "Hah, hah, very funny dude."
"What are you doing here?" He asked in anger, grinding his teeth.
"I'm gonna stick around this place for a while, we're being targeted by the sisters, what are you making?"
"Some delicious ice cream." Without bothering to even change the bowl, he put another cherry on top of it, "And...Ta-Da!" Just then it went on fire again. "Aw come on!"
After sorting out three Fires (including one from the trash can and the spoon, Last Order was having her ice cream while the older people were discussing important stuff, Mikoto said, "So, your name is Saiai?"
"Yep, I'm a Level 5 Esper like yourself and I'm the most likely person to not get damaged by anything," The Hooded girl said, "nice to meet you Mikoto." She offered the Electromaster her hand, but she refused. "Hm, not much of a friendly person are you?"
"I'm friendly really, but did you seriously believe that.." She paused but she shook her head, "Never mind, what are you and Mugino doing here anyway?"
"The same reason you're here. we're trying to end Project Sisters."
"Good." Mikoto rubbed her shoulder, "The problem is that it's harder than you think it is." Saiai was apparently two years younger than Mikoto, "And to top that off, we'll be dealing with a Level 6."
"I know." The Offense girl took out something out of her pocket, it was a sewed up patch with the Snake with Eagle Wings. "And let's not forget her entire army of Clones."
"Alright, enough with the 'Be Calm' crap, cut to the chase already." Accelerator was growing impatient with the talk, "What the heck is going on with Frenda and her ten million clones of the gun-named girl."
Mikoto turned her head to him, "Really?"
"It's been a long while since I ever said a nickname, so..."
Saiai said, "Two Words...World Domination!" She put her hands together and moved them apart as if she was symbolizing the world. "Starting this Month!"
"Really? They're planning to take over the entire planet with just ten million clones?" Acceleratoe laughed, "That is the worst idea ever, Ten million robots don't have enough power to cause destruction to the world, and even if they were meant to succeed, they would have to surpass the entire country."
"They don't need to...they planned something else."
"And what might that be?" He replied coldly, taking a sip of his soda.
"By becoming the first people to land on Mars." That made the White Haired esper spit out his soda straight at Misaka and laugh so hard. "Oh god, that is freaking hilarious!"
"DID YOU HAD TO DO THAT!?" Mikoto growled whole electricity sprung out of herself, she already had her head drenched with soda juice, "DID YOU REALLY HAD TO!?"
"Calm down Misaka, you can argue with your boyfriend later-" Saiai's response was cut off as Mikoto shouted out, "I'M NOT HIS GIRLFRIEND!"
"Okay, okay...don't be like that." The offensive girl backed away a bit, before continuing, "As I said, they have to travel to Mars, and they could set up some random space laser thing to hit the Earth and destroy major cities. Then once that's through, it's theirs to control."
"And that's where this comes in." Kinuhata set down a newspaper on the table to show a flyer about a space mission, with the words; Our New Journey Begins in Mars! them it shows a shuttle standing up and it was pointing to the planet next door.
"We have Two days, and judging from the group, we'd be dead charging into a fight like this!"
"Oh, so we're gonna destroy the opportunity to travel to a new planet then..." The White-Haired Esper finally calmed down and his response was, "I'm in! We'll see how they like it if we stop their trip to Mars!"
"Wow, You're not much of a good guy, are you?" Saiai muttered to herself, then she said to Mikoto, "We could use your help, and we can stop them."
"Right, but..." The Electromaster turned her head to see her young sister having fun at the table, "There's still somethings in need to know."
"And what would that be?"
Alarms began to cry an Errie sound as soon as one of the heavily armed guatds came in, he wore a steel version of medieval armor and his helmet was completely protected, with dark sunglasses, and a cool ponytail accessory. He banged his baton on the wall very hard, and screamed, "EVERYONE, WAKE UP!"
All the prisoners woke with a shock, or groan trying to get up. The prison cells started to open up and everyone thought the same thing; run out and scream freedom, but they were quickly cuffed as soon as they stepped out, so there goes that chance. "WE'RE MOVING, GET YOUR SLEEPY HEADS UP AND WALK OUT OF HERE NORMALLY!"
Everyone started to walk calmly and they all headed in the halls, then met up to the dark abyss, also known as the basement, Index was breathing heavily again, and Touma could tell why, but even he couldn't hide the fact that he was also nervous.
Two normal guards walked up to them, with batons in their hands. "You're index?" One of them asked, the girl nodded twice, "Good, then you're coming with us!" They grabbed her hands and started dragging her away.
"No, don't do this, I don't want to see Frenda!" She cried out, Touma saw this, then ran from the line to the guards.
He rammed the first guard and fell down with him, thanks to that, the cuffs broke off, and he got himself up. The second guard swung his baton, but he grabbed it and kicked his stomach, then used his free hand to hit his face. He rushed to Index.
"Index, are you okay?" He got herself up, and she was about to burst to tears.
"Yeah, thank you." She turned her head to him, and her face was growing a little red. "Look out!" She pointed to the object coming to Touma, luckily he ducked just in time, and the object ended up hitting something else.
Frenda appeared, "Alright, what's the problem?" she shouted, causing the rest of the line of prisoners to stand still, and shudder in fear.
Touma got himself and Index up, and said, "You! We had enough of your schemes, you better have a rea-"
"Ugh, do I have to hear this again?" She covered her hands with her ears, "Guards, get them in the restraining box!" Four guards ran up past her, and one even ran to Touma and hit Touma's face.
"Touma!" Index screamed, she was hit in the face as well. The two were being carried away to one of the 'boxes' which was the back of a cargo carrying truck, and it closed on them. Koroko saw this and sighed.
"Hey Frenda!" She shouted to the tyrant, "Do you think I can join them in there?" Frenda turned around with a questioning look.
"Really? You want to join those two in there?" She put her hands on her hip, as Shirai nodded, she didn't smile as soon as she ordered two guards to run out and put her in restraints and threw her in the cargo box, they closed it quickly.
"Everyone, keep going!" She shouted, the prisoners kept moving to be trapped in the cargo box of the truck. "We don't want anyone to inspect us, do we?"
Koroko was on her side and she turned to Touma, who was trying to wake up. She said, "Guess you got a new roommate." He nod slowly. She got herself in a sitting position, and put her back to the wall. "This is gonna be fun."
"Mikoto..." Wind was blowing on the road, Misuzu Misaka laid on her back, and starting muttering Mikoto's name, she was looking at the sky and there was a bit of tears coming up, "I'm so sorry Mikoto." She saw a small plane fly away within seconds.
She got herself up and got her phone out and started to contact someone. The phone started ringing two times, then it got picked up. "Hello, Mikoto?"
"This is Kiyama, how can I-"
"Kiyama, there's no time, can I speak to Mikoto, please!"
"Okay, no need to get rational or anything." There was footsteps heard, and then Mikoto got the phone.
"Mikoto, are you there?"
"Is this...Mom?"
The electromaster started to get tears swelling in her eyes, "Mom, is that you?"
"Yes, Mikoto, I'm sorry for all of this." The mom replied, "I should've come to you when I had the chance. It's been too long since I talked to you."
"I can say the say the same thing, where were you this whole time?"
"Busy trying to thwart out the Project Sisters thing, the usual, what about you?"
Mikoto sighed, and replied, "I'm wanting to stop the clones too."
"WHAT!? That was what the mother said, "ARE YOU CRAZY, YOU COULD GET YOURSELF KILLED!"
"I know, but this is the only way to save the world from Frenda and the ten million clones of me!" Misaka struggled trying to hold the phone, she also felt a bit of stress, "I'm gonna take that risk no matter the cost!"
The mother took a second to collect herself, "Look, I could do this by myself if I have too, but i will not let my first daughter charge into a fight like this, I don't want to lose you!"
"I don't want to lose you either mom." Mikoto sighed, just then she heard some sound on the background. "Mom, what's going on?"
"Sorry, I have to get going, they might find me!"
"No wait!" The phone got cut off and Misaka dropped the phone on the table, she turned around to see Last Order standing on the doorway.
"Was that really mom?" She asked, quivering.
"I'm sorry to say this, but yeah." Mikoto said, then sat on the couch making her head fall down, her younger sister walked to her and sat next to her, holding her hand.
"Onechan, I'm worried about mom."
"So am I Last Order, So am I."
"Sissy never really told me about you." Koroko asked Touma, he was lying on the floor with Index on his side, as the truck kept moving, "Nor did she say anything about your friend."
"Yeah, She really didn't want anything to do with me or even Accelerator." He rubbed his hands together.
"Right, so she keeps fighting you and the White-Haired dude countless times?"
"Heh, yeah. It's sometimes irritating and sometimes fun."
"Where do you think this truck is going?" Index ruined the flow of the introduction talking, because she was focusing on the problem they Were in.
"I don't know, but from the looks of those guys, it doesn't sound pleasant." Shirai tried to get herself up, but then the truck must've hit a speed bump and the gang got airborne for half a second before falling hard on the floor again. "Owww!"
"Well, there's no point of escaping at this point, we're in a truck with no way out!"
"All we have to do is wait it out." Then, as if on cue, the truck came to a slow halt and it paused. "Well, that was perfectly timed." They got up and put their ears against the wall to hear what was going on, all they heard was mumbling sounds.
Then the door opened up, a guard was standing right at it, "Hey you three!" He simply said, "You need to step outside, we're getting ourselves some gasoline." He ordered the first guy (Touma) to step out first, after that he ordered the girls to move away.
"What are we supposed to do now?" Index asked.
The guard said, "Just head over to the bench." He left the trio alone, and they did as they were told, all they could do now was watch the guard do his work. Index said, "Look at us, we're here as isolated prisoners, and so far no one else has noticed us!"
"You think they would notice?" Touma said, "Everyone's preparing for the launch to Mars." He wasn't one of those people that hated that idea, he just thought it wasn't such a good idea to go to Mars at this sort of time. "Which is the reason why we haven't been noticed for a long while."
"Someone better, or else no one is gonna know what would happen if they found some people dead or something!" Index got up for the bench, and started to walk to the guard.
"Wait index, don't talk to him, he's evil!" Touma jogged after her, and she arrived to the guard within seconds.
"Hey, I told you to stay sitting on the bench!" He replied, "I got work to do here."
"I know but.." Index smiled, "Can I please have a dollar, I want to buy something at the vending machine." Touma stopped right at the back side of the truck to see this.
"Hm...Oh, yes you can." The guard started searching for his pockets and he pulled out a key, he threw that on the ground, and got out his wallet. "Okay, here's Five dollars."
"Thank you!" just then, Touma ran out and charged the guard off his feet to the ground. They both were on the solid concrete, and Touma got the key quickly. The guard was the first to get up, but Index kicked his chest off, and he fell again, Touma got himself on his feet, and turned to see the guard getting pummeled, he tried to set his key in a perfect position, and stuck it in a keyhole.
He twisted it, and the cuffs broke. He turned his back to see the guard push aside his friend, and come after him again, he rammed him on the wall of the truck and punched his stomach, so he can fall on the ground. He grabbed the key and threw it at Index, but it dropped right near her Due to his inability to throw.
Touma got grabbed again, and he was hit to the wall again, Touma grabbed the guard's arms and head bumps his opponent, but that resulted with his head to hurt a bit. The guard wasn't stunned so he began to launched another punch at him, and he quickly dodged.
The enemy got backed to the truck and opened the door to pull out an tranquilizer, but right then, Koroko appeared right before him.
"Hello there." She said, before grabbing the gun away from him, and kicking his face to the floor. She pulled off the helmet and punched his head to knock him out.
"Thanks for that!" Touma replied, getting back up and walking to Index, "and you, that was a good plan you made there."
"That wasn't a plan Touma.." She was being honest, "I really wanted to get a snack."
"Well, still...it was a good plan." Touma unlock the cuffs, and let his friend up on her feet. "Alright Koroko, do you have a plan to escape?"
"We're not far from civilization, so we have to make our way through the plain fields and hope we could make it before sundown." She explained quickly, "But, that is if we can avoid the Sisters."
"What about your friends?" Index asked the Teleporter.
"God dammit, you're right." She clutched her fist, "We can't just leave them with that evil tyrant."
"So what do you suppose we do then?"
"I don't know, we could save our friends, but they're guarded by a couple of trained soldiers, and near a million of clones of Sissy." She brushed off her hands, "This isn't gonna be good then."
"Well, we might as well take that risk." Touma calmly said to the girls, "We're gonna save our friends and escape out of there before she can even stop us."
"Wait, are you serious?" The Teleporter gave him a worried and shocked look, "We can't go there!"
"Too bad then, our friends need us." Touma got in the truck and he started it up, the engine could be heard as soon as it started, "let's get in!"
"You don't even know how to drive!" Index and Shirai had no choice but to get In the truck and risk their lives.
"Don't worry, I'll learn how to by doing it." He started to put the car in accelerate and he was moving. But he forgot that the gas was supposed to be off on the gas filter, so it just fell off. Also, he forgot about the fact that the cargo's door was still open.
Sorry for the short chapter and some confusion, The next one will be longer, and also, I'm not doing so well am I? I never thought I'd get this far.
Thanks for reading, and I'll see you next time.
