Guess whose back, back. Back again, again. Yes, I'm back, back. Tell a friend, friend. So it seems to me that everyone really enjoyed the last chapter. The only thing that I'm a little disappointed in is that while yes, I get the reviews, when I ask all of you what you would like to see next, no one tells me anything.
I asked if you would like to see more characters that are usually out of focus or would you like to get back to the girls that have already been introduced and the fights. No one said anything so I guess I'll choose.
Oh well. Now on to the Q&A
wildarms13: I never said that…
whwsms: Actually Sphynx does know where Touma went, at least more than anyone else. And I thought about having her say "Ohohohoho!" because is brought up thoughts of "Ohohohoho" from Heavy Object. They have pretty much the same type of personality.
shiroryuu01: Believe me, Mugino isn't done just yet.
Agent Nine: Now whoever said that Touma was still in the city? But I never said that he wasn't, so who know, besides Sphynx and myself of course.
MrQuestionMark: I thought everyone would enjoy the story a bit from Sphynx perspective. And I'm glad that I was right. And who doesn't enjoy seeing Carissa? I enjoy writing her for the same reason I enjoy writing Lessar. They are both so confident in themselves. And while Lessar is a bit on the slutty side, they both go whole hog for anything that they want.
toumakamijou298: I don't know if I'll have Carissa personally go and search out Touma. It could be interesting though…
d3mystic: I never said that Villain was going to be the one to marry Touma. What I said was that Villain was sent because Carissa was still locked up and because Villain is better at handling matter of the heart then Carissa is. Villain was always there to try and convince Touma about Carissa.
Guest: They are not sisters. They just have some common features.
It was the late morning but not yet quite noon, and two people were standing in a park speaking. Well…there were more than two people. There were over four dozen bodies lying unconscious on the ground littering the park. There were only five people awake, and three of those people were holding a third person preventing them from moving.
"So you will tell me about to connection to my Prince. I may not be able to control your mind, but I'm sure I can find a pyrokenetic or a electromaster within range to make you tell me what I want to know. I could even have these three hold you here for hours until I get what I want." said Misaki.
Cendrillon's eyes widen at the obvious threat. While she knew that the girl's powers wouldn't work on her, they could work on others, and the girl seemed devious enough to follow through on her threat. She needed to figure a way out of this situation, but with her body and legs being held in place, she couldn't use her normal magic to dodge or escape. And the blond girl was still too far out of range for her Glass Slipper spell to affect her. She needed to stall for time until she could figure a way out.
"Why do you care what our relationship is? How is that any of your business?" asked Cendrillon.
Misaki was slightly taken aback at the question. But then she just smiled at the girl while answering; "He's my Prince. I investigate just about every girl close to him, and once I saw you in that video with him, and him taking about needing a girlfriend…" said Misaki, trailing off.
"So you're after him too I see."
"Why yes. Of course I am. He's saved me twice now. I owe him my life, and I would do anything to repay him. Anything at all," replied Misaki, words full of innuendo. "And I'll crush anyone who gets in my ways."
"You don't look like a killer to me, girl." replied Cendrillon to the threat.
"No. I won't kill you. He wouldn't like it if I did. My Prince is just that kind of person," replied Misaki. Then her eyes narrowed and her face turned dark. "But you'd be surprised what you can live through."
Cendrillon's eye widen as she took in the girl's words. Looking into the girl's starry eyes, she could see that there was a determination and truthfulness to her words.
'This girl is serious. If I or anyone got into her way, she would crush them with everything that she had. I have to stall until I can figure a way out of this."
"So, why were you with him that day at that restaurant?" asked Misaki to the girl.
"I just happened to run into him and he invited me to go eat with him. That's all."
"And what is your relation to him? I doubt that you are just some random stranger."
"He's just a guy I happen to know."
"You just happen to know him? Tsk tsk. You shouldn't lie to me." Said Misaki as she held up her remote and pointed it towards that girl.
"You know your power don't work on me, so what are you planning to d—AAAGGGHHHHHHH!" Cendrillon screamed before finishing her sentence.
"I know that my powers somehow don't work on you. So I used them on someone else."
What had happen was simple; Misaki knew that her powers wouldn't work on the girl, so she used them on the man with his arms wrapped around her, preventing her from moving. The command was simple-squeeze. And the man holding the girl obeyed. He began squeezing the tiny girl. Now the man wasn't overly strong or muscular, but he was in decent shape and up against the tiny Cendrillon, he could probably break her in half.
"AaaaGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!" screamed Cendrillon as more and more pressure was applied to her.
Finally, the pressure eased up and the pain went away.
"Now you won't lie to me again, will you?" asked Misaki in a slightly mocking tone.
*pant pant* "No." replied Cendrillon, breathing heavily.
"So tell me, how do you know Touma, why are you searching for him?"
Cendrillon sat in thought for a moment; 'She's from the science side, so I doubt that she knows about the magic side. Do I tell her? Do I tell her that I was one an enemy of the boy? Judging from the way she talks about the boy that information…wouldn't go over too well.'
"The truth is, the boy saved me. He saved me from a life of revenge, violence and anger. And I'm searching for him to confirm the rumor that's been going around." replied Cendrillon.
Misaki didn't immediately reply. She just stood there, with his hand on her cheek, contemplating what the girl had just said to her.
"I believe you," finally responded Misaki. "That does sound like something that he would do."
"So you'll let me go?"
"Oh, heavens no. You've already confirmed that you are also after my Prince. I can't have you running around and getting in my way. So I'm just going to have these people here hold you for a while until I find him. After that, I'll let you go."
Cendrillion's eyes widen at the words the girl had spoken. She knew the girl was serious. That the girl would restrain her there for hours or days if need be to keep her out of the search for Kamijou. She had to figure a way out of her situation, but being restrained cut off her typical magic and the while she could use the Glass Slipper spell, the ones holding her had their pain receptors severed and the girl controlling them, smartly stood out of range.
There was only one thing that Cendrillon could think of to do.
Misaki watched that girl take in the words she just said. She was being completely honest to the girl. She would have her held here until some could find Touma for herself. It would be just one less person for her to have to deal with.
Misaki then noticed the girl lower her head and face the ground. There was a slight sound coming from the girl's mouth. She could be sure exactly, but it sounded like some kind of chant.
Suddenly there was a loud crash and everyone was thrown back three meters from where they were standing. Five bodies littered the ground; that of Misaki's, Cendrillon's and the three people that were holding her in place.
Cendrillon was the first to recover. Her body ached, and her clothing was dirty. Her hair was a mess and he face was covered in dirt. Because of the pain in her body, it was struggle for Cendrillon to get up. She pushed herself off the ground and stood on wobbly legs.
What she had done was simple; with her head lowered she began to chant. "Old lady of the pumpkin carriage, please send the carriage quickly. Send it before I wake… before I wake from this one-night dream. Please send the pumpkin carriage."
She normally used her hands to direct the spell at whatever enemy she was facing, but with them restrained to her side, she wasn't able to. So she did the only thing that she could. She called for the spell anyways. Without her directing the attack, the attack came straight at her from above. The force of the attack hit her, the blond girl and the people restraining her. She was able to recover faster than the others because of her training and magic resistance.
She stood up and looked around. The three people that were holding her were completely unconscious, but the blond girl was stirring and starting to recover.
"It must be because she was further away and the attack didn't affect her as greatly." said Cendrillon to herself.
The blond girl looked like she was about in the same shape as Cendrillon was. Battered and dirty, the blond girl slowly got up. The girl stood on very wobbly legs and surveyed the area around her. She finally spotted the girl that was the cause of the blast and their eyes met. It was only for a second, but there was something conveyed between the two girls in that second of eye contact.
This isn't over.
Cendrillon nodded her head towards the girl, acknowledging what was conveyed before running off in the opposite direction.
Konori Mii was out patrolling in District Seven. There had been reports of several fights going on in the streets. She had had only been patrolling for thirty minutes but she had already broken up four different fights.
"I don't know what going on in the city today. People seem to be getting into random fights on the streets, but the weird part about all of this it that all the people fighting are female."
This confused Konori. "Why were all of these females fighting each other? And why today of all days? What could have happened today that would make females want to fig—"but Konori never finished her sentence.
She thought back on the event of the day and could only think of one major event that coincided with the start of the fighting.
"B-but that's ridiculous. There's no way that video could…I mean it was just a video…one person couldn't possible cause..."
Konori quickly shook the thought from her mind. It was ridiculous. There was no way that the video of that boy she received this morning is causing all of these females to fight each other.
"Anyways, how could one boy know so many females anyways? It's silly to even think of."
But then Konori started thinking about how she knew the oy.
"I-I mean it's different for me. The only reason I know him it because of the multiple times I've had to arrest him."
There had been multiple occasions where there was a fight or something strange going on and that boy seemed to be right in the middle of it. Every time she was called to or happened to come on to a scene and that boy was there, she would arrest him. And while questioning him at the scene it would always seem like he was either the victim of circumstance or was in fact helping someone in trouble or trying to end a conflict and wound up being chased by thugs.
"There was even that time he saved me and another girl when we were surrounded by thugs in a back alley." said Konori to herself, face now with a touch of red in her cheeks.
Konori quickly shook off the thoughts of that boy and continued her patrol. She didn't have to walk more than a few blocks before she came upon another fight. The two girls were espers, one seemed to be a pyrokinetic and the other a terrakinetic.
The fire user had dark hair and a round face. She was medium in height and she was wearing blue jeans and dark red shirt. The earth user had dyed blond hair, a more heart shaped face and glasses. She wore a yellow dress the reached down to her knees and a red and blue vest over top.
As Konori approached she could hear the two girls arguing about something, but she was still too far to hear everything. All she could catch were pieces.
""….find him first!"
"ou bitch! Over my dead…"
""e saved me from…"
"Well he saved…"
'They seem to be arguing or something, or someone.' thought Konori to herself.
Konori was a fairly seasoned Judgment Officer, so she knew better than to just run into the middle of a fight. So she approached slowly and when she was about a block away, she held her position and observed the girl girls.
'Well besides their powers, let me see if they have any other weapons on them' thought Konori as she used her ability, Clairvoyance. Clairvoyance gave Konori a sort of x-ray vision, allowing her to see through objects. Using her powers on the two girls, she saw that they were carrying no additional weapons.
Konori continued to observe the girls, looking for a good moment to jump in a break up their fight.
The fire user formed a medium sized fireball in her hand and threw it out the other girl. In responds, the the blond girl called up a piece of earth to block the fireball. She then punched the piece of earth and sent it flying at the dark haired girl. The girl dodged to the left and the piece of earth missed. The dark haired girl quickly got to her feet and fired off three fireballs in rapid succession. The blond girl rolled to the right, while also scooping up and a ball of earth and threw it at the girl. The ball of earth hit the dark haired girl in the stomach, causing her to double over. Pressing her advantage, the blond haired girl sunk her arm into the ground up to her elbow and pulled it out. Her arm was now covered in rocks and dirt. She then made a bee line for the dark haired girl who was still recovering from the earlier blow. With the fist covered in rock and dirt pulled back, the blond girl planned on finishing the fight in one blow, She was now only two meters away from the dark haired girl who had managed to stand up straight, but was still a bit wobbly. "This is it you bitch!" yelled the blond as she swung her towards the dark haired girl face.
The dark haired girl, seeing the attack coming, raised her hand and shot a stream of fire at the blond girl. The blond was now too close to dodge so she stuck out the hand covered in rocks and dirt. The fire made contact with her hand, and the blond was now unable to advance forward due to the continuous stream of fire coming at her and blocking her way.
The blond girl remained unhurt due to the dirt of rocks protecting her hand and arm, but the heat was starting to affect her. She could feel her she skin drying up and her body over heating as she couldn't produce enough sweat to keep her cool. She also felt the rocks and dirt covering her arm beginning to get hotter and hotter. Soon she would not be able to keep the heated material on her arm. She had to do something to get out of the mess she was in.
The blond girl then did a forward kick, with her foot digging into the ground as it moved. This caused a decent sized hunk of rock to come up and fly at the dark haired girl.
The dark haired girl saw the rock coming and instantly stopped her fire attack and rolled to the right out of the way.
With the stream of fire now stopped, the blond girl could relax a bit. The blond girl sunk to her knees while breathing heavy, the stream of fire heating the air around her and making it difficult to breath. She noticed the dark haired girl had now gotten to her feet, so she quickly, but wobbly got to her in anticipation of an attack.
The dark haired girl then preformed a round house kick, sending a ten meter wide length of fire at the blond haired girl. With the attack being so wide and her being so exhausted, the blond girl couldn't dodge. She just brought her arms up vertically In front of herself, causing a wall of earth her shoot up in front of her, blocking the ten meter wide fire attack.
Both girls were now breathing hard and looked exhausted. They both looked at each other and message was clear, this next attack would finish things. The blond girl sunk her arm into the ground and pulled it out, covered in rocks and dirt. The dark haired girl formed fire over her fist. The wo girls stared at each other for a few seconds. They were about ten meters apart, and it would take about seven steps to reach each other in the center. The two girls ran at each other, but suddenly; "Stop! This is Judgment!" came a voice from the side. And there stood a girl of medium height, with a large bust, and glass wearing a green armband.
Konori had watched the entire fight and knew that the time had come to step in. With both girls exhausted and going for what looked to be final attacks, Konori decided now was the best time to step in. While the girls were preparing for their last attacks, Konori snuck over closer to the girls. Just as they began to run at each other Konori shouted "Stop! This is Judgment!"
The two girls both had their fists raised, ready to plow into each other's faces but they both had frozen from the proclamation. The two girls turned their heads to look over at the Judgment member that suddenly appeared. They then turned to look at each other again, before nodding to each other. Then suddenly the two girls turned and began running towards Konori, with their fists raised.
Oriana Thompson was strolling through District Seven searching for Kamijou Touma.
'It's been a while since I've been here," Oriana thought to herself. "The last time I was here was for work, and things…went wrong.'
The last time she had been in Academy City, she was working for the Roman Catholic Church. While on the run from the member of Necessarius and Kamijou, she wound up hurting two innocent people in the process. She'd always felt bad about that. She was an expert tracker and an expert at getting away and losing her pursuers. She'd set traps, burn bridges, and create small floods if it would help her get away. But all in all she never hurt innocent people if it could at all be helped. While she had been defeated by Kamijou Touma, he never held a grudge against her.
She admired his strength and bravery. Not only was he instrumental in ending the coup in England, ending World War III, but he basically ended the threat of Magic God Othinus by himself.
"Plus I heard a rumor that he's into older, well developed, big sister types. And I definitely have that covered." said Oriana to herself, while folding her arms under her considerable breast, enhancing them.
Oriana was on her way to Kamijou's school. How she knew where it was? Well when she first found out and saw the recording of Kamijou wishing for a girlfriend, she reached through some of her channels. She knew that the magic side had spies in Academy City and vice versa. Someone she trusted gave her information of how to reach a spy in Academy City. Her contact didn't know the spy's name or what he looked like, but he ensured her that any information that he gave her would be good. So Oriana contacted that spy about the information she wanted. After paying the unknown spy and receiving the information she wanted, like Kamijou's school, his schedule, his frequent hangouts etc… the spy threw in an extra piece of information for free.
"By the way, he like older sister types with large breast nya."
She was then on the next plane to Academy City.
She was a little more than half way to the boy's school when a dark haired girl bumped into her.
"Sorry," said the dark haired girl. "I was distracted by looking down into my phone and didn't see you."
"It's ok." replied Oriana with a smile.
As Oriana was just about to continue on her way, she heard the dark haired girl mumble something.
"Dammit. Kamijou Touma wasn't in his class today."
Hearing the name Kamijou Touma, Oriana stopped in her tracks.
'Does this girl know Kamijou? Is she also looking for him for some reason?' Oriana thought to herself.
"Umm, excuse me, but did you say Kamijou Touma just now?" asked Oriana.
The dark haired girl stopped in her tracks and turn towards Oriana. She gave her a suspicious look before answering; "Yes…" she said hesitantly.
"Would you happen to know where he is at the moment?" asked Oriana.
"And just why are you looking for Kamijou anyways?"
"That's…it doesn't matter. If you know where he is, could you please tell me?"
"…Could I see some ID please?" asked the dark haired girl.
Oriana eyes widen in shock. Why was this girl asking her for ID? Just who was she? That's when Oriana took an actual good look at her. Besides her long dark hair, she wore a tight leather cat suit, which looked like it could be some kind of uniform.
'Shit! Is she part of the city's law enforcement?' thought Oriana to herself.
Oriana was partially right.
"If you don't have an ID, as either a resident of this city or a guest, then I will have to arrest you."
"On whose authority?"
"On the authority of the Black Crows." exclaimed the dark haired girl.
"MISAKA needs to find the savior so she can confirm whether the rumors about him searching for a girlfriend are true, say MISAKA, as MISAKA skips merrily along with Accelerator."
Accelerator just looked over at the girl in annoyance as he walked along side of her.
"Why do I have to go and find that f$%king hero just because there some rumor about him looking for a girlfriend? I don't give a f%#king if he is or isn't. I rather just go home." proclaimed Accelerator.
"It's for the other Misaka units. They want to know if it's true so that they can pursue the savior, says MISAKA, as MISAKA looks at Accelerator with large puppy dog eyes to convince him to continue the search with MISAKA."
"Tsk" replied Accelerator as he looked away from the small girl and continued to walk with her.
Accelerator was the number one ranked Esper in the city. So while he was technically registered to a school, he didn't actually have to go to one. So his time was pretty much his own, unless the city wanted to conduct a test or something.
To be honest, Accelerator really rather be at home sleep right now, but it was hard for him to say no to Last Order. She would just whine and cry and complain, and just generally annoy the hell out of him until he did what she wanted.
"What a pain in the ass." mumbled Accelerator.
The pair knew that Kamijou wasn't in class that day, and they doubted that he was home sick. Accelerator even tried his cell phone but got no answer.
"The f^#king hero is probably out saving some girl right now." said Accelerator with a sneer. Or a smirk. It's hard to tell with him.
"Well we need to find the savior or else all of the Misakas will try to come back to Academy City, and that will cause problems, says MISAKA as MISAKA points out the obvious."
"I know brat" replied Accelerator.
Accelerator had decided that the best place to look for Touma would be District Seven. Not only was his dorm there, but so were most of the shops and restaurants. If he was skipping school, it is more than likely the place he would be.
Accelerator and Last Order had been searching District Seven for a while now, looking for Kamijou Touma. It was a fairly how day, but Accelerator didn't mind it too much .But then he looked over to Last Order.
*pant pant* "It's sooo hot today, says MISAKA, as MISAKA pants and sweats from the heat."
"Stop complaining brat. You wanted to search for the goddamn hero, so were searching for the goddamn hero."
"Yes, but it's still hot outside, complains MISAKA as MISAKA flails her arms in irritation at Accelerator's lack of concern for MISAKA."
"What the hell do you want me to do about?"
"You could use your ability to reflect the heat away from me while holding my hand, say MISAKA, as MISAKA reaches up to grab Accelerator's hand."
"Accelerator quickly pulled his hand back before Last Order could grab ahold of it.
"That would burn out my battery you stupid brat! Then what would we do if we were attacked?"
"Who would attack us? And for what reason, asks MISAKA, as MISAKA tries to reason with Accelerator."
*Tsk* Accelerator made a sound with his tongue, yet he still refused to do what the tiny girl asked of him.
Being the number one level five in the city, Accelerator was used to people challenging and attacking him out of the blue. And after everything that he had went through to protect Last Order, Worst and the other clones, he was always on the lookout for an attack.
"Think of something else brat"
"Well how about you get Misaka some ice cream at that shop over there, says MISAKA, as MISAKA points to a shop across the street selling ice cream."
Accelerator looked over to where the tiny girl was pointing, and saw a small but busy ice parlor.
*Tsk* "Fine. Wait here brat, and don't move."
Accelerator then walked over to the ice cream shop leaving Last Order outside.
The line was fairly long, considering how hot it was outside, that didn't surprise Accelerator. What did surprise him was that when he came outside he saw large man with brown hair practically on towering over Last Order while she was for some reason on the ground, and he was reaching down towards her.
Accelerator quickly walked over to the pair afraid that this man may have been some rogue scientist after Last Order.
"Who the f%$k are you?!" asked the giant man as he stood between Last Order and the man.
William Orwell and Princess Villain ware walking through Academy City searching for Kamijou Touma. William had told the told that she should stay back in her room and that when he found the boy he would bring him back to her, nut she refused.
"Mother sent me on this mission so I should at least help with the searching. Besides, this is my first time in Academy City and I kind of want to have a look around." She had told him.
The two left their hotel and headed straight for District Seven.
"The boy's dorm and school are in this district, so our best chance of finding him would be to search here." William reasoned to the Princess.
She simply nodded in agreement and accompanied William to said district.
While they walked around the district, Princess Villain got strange looks from people. Villain simply shrugged them off. After all she was wearing a full flowing dress with many ribbons and decoration on it. It had to seem strange to the people of the city, especially on such a hot day. Luckily for Villain, the dress was magically enhanced to keep her cool in the summer and warm in the winter, as were most of her clothing.
Villain had heard of some of the amazing thing that were in Academy City, like the cleaning robots and the driverless bus, but actually seeing them was completely different.
"A-amazing!" said Villain, marveling at every piece of advance technology she pasted.
William kept his face passive and showed no emotion, but on the inside he was happy that Princess Villain was enjoying herself.
Villain was walking ahead of him, while he remind three or four steps behind her. This was due to respect for his position versus hers, and because it was easier to keep a watch for anything suspicious.
The two of them came to a fairly busy part of the district. As they were walking they came upon a brown haired little girl standing along. Villain, being the person she is walked right over to the girl wile William stood back and watched.
"Are you lost little girl?" asked Villain.
"No. I'm waiting on someone, says MISAKA—"started to say Misaka before turning around and seeing the full view of Villain.
"Wow, you look like a real life Princess, say MISAKA, excitedly."
Villain just giggled at the small girl's enthusiasm, while William continued to watch.
In her enthusiasm, Last Order wasn't watching where she was going and accidently ran into the other girl. Upon colliding, they both fell down. William quickly ran over and help Princess Villain to her feet.
"Are you ok Princess?" asked William.
"Y-yes. I'm fine. It was an accident." replied Villain as she brushed herself off.
Her clothing was stain and tear resistant also so she didn't have to worry about them too much.
"William, can you please go over and help the other girl up and make sure she is ok also." requested Villain.
William walked over to the small girl and just as he was reaching down to help her up he hear someone call out "Who the f%$k are you?!" as a skinny, whited haired boy with red eyes appeared.
William didn't respond right away, it was instead Villain that did—or at least tried to.
"We were—"but she was interrupted by Accelerator.
"Shut up you f#%king brat! I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to this asshole here!"
Now William was a veteran warrior and fighter. He knew not to make assumption about the enemy and to never rush into a situation. The boy was getting more and more aggressive. And while he looked like a skinny lightweight, William knew first hand that looks could be deserving, especially in a city like Academy City.
Feeling a change in the air around the boy, and thinking that Villain might be in danger from the boy, William jumped back in front of Villain and got himself in a ready position.
Seeing this Accelerator smiled a sadistic smile.
"Oh, so you want a fight huh. I don't know who you are but you really don't know who you're f$%king with." Laughed Accelerator as he raised his hand to his neck and flicked the switch on his collar.
Well that's the end of this chapter. I hope everyone enjoyed it.
So in this chapter I wanted to keep a few earlier promises. I showed Misaki and Cendrillon fighting but didn't get right back to it. I showed Konori going out of patrol, but didn't get right back to it. I said that there was fighting in the streets, but didn't show it and I said something about it being MOSTLY females fighting. So this chapter was written to show some of those things going on around Academy City.
So what did everyone think of the fight between the two girls, the fire and earth users? I know it got kind of Avatar: The Last Airbender during their fight, but I really enjoyed writing it. In fact, if we come across more element users, I may write their fights in the same way. I think it makes the fights more dynamic and fun, instead of just shooting a fireball or a stream of fire.
I wanted to have to males fight and the obvious choice was Accelerator and Acqua. But they would have no need to fight over Touma or information related to him, so I had to create a misunderstanding between the two. The only logical way I could think of for the two of them to be fighting would be if each felt that the other was a threat to their charge. If Accelerator felt William was a threat to Last Order and William felt Accelerator was a threat to Villain, then they would have a reason to fight.
As always please rate and review
