Kuroko looked at her opponent. She still didn't know her ability, and they were both currently standing still, ready to attack. Kuroko then made the first move. She quickly teleported behind her, and then tried to teleport the steel needle in her hand, into her legs. Unfortunately, as Kuroko had teleported her steel needles, Akari teleported away, so the steel needles fell to the ground. ! . She's so fast! Kuroko thought, as Akari suddenly appeared right behind her. Kuroko blocked just in time as Akari kicked her, but she still flew backwards, and ended out in the muddy water. One of Kuroko's wrists hurt from the attack, so Kuroko took her other hand around her wrist. Oh, does it hurt? Akari asked, a bit sarcastically. You're lucky, doing something like that could break your hand if you're not careful, Akari said. Kuroko teleported away again, and tried to get behind Akari. But as Kuroko tried to kick Akari, she teleported away, and grabbed Kuroko's hurt wrist, and pulled it backwards, and pushed Kuroko to the ground. (You know, the thing people does when they hold people down with their hands on their head, and the other person arm on their back)
Kuroko looked up at Akari, with an expression full of pain. You're wasting your time, just so you know. As you might know, there are only 11 level 4 espers who can take down the level 5s, and it just so happens I'm one of them, Akari said. Then why are you doing this? What is your reason for hurting people, and helping Aiko out with his experiment? Kuroko asked in pain. Akari didn't answer. You want my reason for fighting you? Well… i don't have any. To be honest this is just a job for me, and once i've eliminated you, i'll get my money and then I'm out of this mess, Akari said. You're doing this for money? Kuroko asked, still in pain. Her arm was about to break if she didn't do anything soon. Oh, don't even think about trying to beat me. I'm a way better teleporter than you little miss, Akari said, as she pressed Kuroko's arm harder against Kuroko's back. Ah! Kuroko let out a little scream of pain. Tch, you should've never come here… Akari said, sounding serious for once, as she teleported a drug into her hand. This drug will end your life quickly… trust you aren't gonna feel a thing! Akari yelled, as she tried to inject the drug into Kuroko's arm. Kuroko finally made a move, and quickly sat up, so Akari fell on her butt. Kuroko then teleported away and appeared again a couple meters away from Akari. She looked at her with a serious expression. You're not really a teleporter are you? Kuroko asked. ! . Akari seemed surprised as Kuroko said that.
Your real ability is to slow down time so much it just looks like you're teleporting everything. Since there is no way that you would be able to teleport things without touching them, unless your ability is movepoint, i figured it must've been something different, Kuroko said. Tch, and so what? You found out about my ability, that's not gonna help you! Akari yelled as she charged towards Kuroko, who this time was prepared. Unfortunately she wasn't prepared enough, and Akari was successful in sneaking in, and punched Kuroko directly in the stomach. Kuroko instantly lost her breath, and fell to her knees with an expression of pain on her face. She struggled to breathe, but still looked up at Akari. Tc, i must say you're quite impressive… i haven't seen such a strong teleportation ability before. Oh well too bad… i have a job to accomplish, Akari said, as a gun suddenly appeared in her hand. Forget the thing where i kill you quickly and you won't feel any pain. I'll make sure you suffer for underestimating me, Akari said, as she pointed the gun at the helpless Kuroko.
First I'll shoot your knees, so that you'll never be able to walk, even if you somehow survived. Then i'll shoot you in your shoulders to make you feel even more pain. And then.. when you're just laying there helpless.. and crying out in pain.. i'll stab you with a knife until you bleed to death, Akari said. Kuroko finally began to stand again, but Akari was quick…. as soon as Kuroko stood up again, she teleported up behind her and kicked her in the back. Ah- Kuroko, let out a little scream as she lost all her breath again, and she flew across the ground. It's no use… no matter how quickly i teleport, she's always quicker because of her ability to slow down time. And every time i try to get up, i just get kicked down again! Kuroko thought, as she slowly tried to sit up again. But once again, Akari was right beside her in no time and kicked her in the stomach again. Kuroko flew back again, and she suddenly caught up some blood. She looked up at Akari with a scared expression. Now… before i kill you, i want to know something: How does it feel to constantly be around a level 5? Isn't it scary to be so close to somebody, who with a little arcade coin could kill you? Aren't you scared that if you just make her angry she would turn her back on you? Akari asked. Kuroko looked at her. You have to be kidding me, right? Kuroko asked, making Akari stare weirdly at her.
Me? Be scared of Sissy? Please I'm more scared of bugs than her. Kuroko began to sit up as she talked: True enough, she's got more power than anybody i know, but power alone isn't enough take make me scared of somebody like her! Kuroko said, as she finally stood up. Akari smiled. Well… since you've told me so much already, I'm gonna let you in on a little secret. The reason i chose to be the one I am, is because i myself failed to reach level 5, Akari said. ! . You've tried to reach level 5? Kuroko asked. One of her arms seriously hurt, she she held her other hand on it, trying to make the pain a bit smaller. Yeah, unfortunately my brain couldn't handle all the power, and therefore i'm stuck here at level 4. I felt pathetic knowing i failed the test… and to make it even worse, somebody else reached level 5 on the same day i failed, Akari said. ! . And who was that? Kuroko asked. Who do ya think? You know her quite well… since she's your roommate, Akari said. Kuroko looked angry at her. That's the reason i chose to become powerful enough to beat a level 5, even though my level isn't as high as theirs. And to make you even more clear, I'm able to beat every single one of the level 5s, except Accelerator, Akari said.
Tch, is that so? Then i guess it's my lucky day or whatever, another voice suddenly said. Akari's facial expression suddenly changed. She looked… scared? Kuroko thought, as another boy appeared beside her. A shiver ran down her spine, and she couldn't even look at him, since she already knew who it was…. Accelerator. No way! How did you find us!? And why are you even here!? I know fully that you don't care what happens to others, except that brat you live with, and the woman who's supposed to help you with protecting her, Akari said. Tch, you're right about one thing… that girl i live with, is an annoying little brat, but i don't know about all the other stuff, Accelerator said, as the began to walk closer to Akari. Kuroko looked confused and scared at both Akari and Accelerator, knowing that if she tried to interfere she would easily get killed. What should i do? I don't know how Accelerator fights, and if i try to help him, the would probably just kill me for being weak… I can only watch or try to find Sissy while they fight, Kuroko thought, as she knew what to do. I know your weakness though… as soon as your electrode runs out of battery, you're toast, Akari said, in a serious tone.
(Seen from Touma's perspektive)
Touma ran down the hallways. The didn't know exactly where the was going, but the more the bigger area her looked, the bigger was the chance her would find Misaka. I sure hope Shirai's doing ok… i feel bad for just leaving her with that creepy girl… But i need to find Misaka, that's what Shirai said, but where is she!? I've looked for almost ten minutes without finding anything, and i think I'm about to run out of breath… Touma thought, as the stopped to get his breath back. Damn it Misaka! Why did you have to get involved with this guy in the first place!? Touma thought as he began to run again. He looked for five more minutes until he was completely out of breath. Damn it… I don't know how much more i can run… Touma thought. Well who do we have here? A familiar voice suddenly said. Touma instantly turned around and saw a guy with green hair, a lab coat and over his eye was a scar. Who the heck are you!? Touma asked. Hh… to think that you don't know how i look yet. Honestly, it's both disappointing and embarrassing, he guy said. What the hell are you talking about? Touma asked, a bit harsh. I am he guy know as Aiko Giiji, but most people just call me Aiko, Aiko said. ! . You're Aiko!? What have you done to Misaka!? Touma asked, as harsh as the could. Oh my there's no need to speak like that… Don't you worry, Railgun's fine. Her head's probably just tired of he compasity down, Aiko said.
Compastity down? What's that? Touma asked, still a bit harsh. Well it's a thing that only affects espers of course, but it makes them unable to use their ability, by jumbling up he aremethic capacity of he brain.( Yes this is 100% scientifically true). And what does that do? Touma asked. My my, you really are an idiot, Aiko said. You bastard! Touma yelled, as he clenched his fist. Now now, there's no reason for you to try and do me any harm. You see, I'm just a hologram, so you can't actually touch me, Aiko said. You coward… Touma said, madly. Oh, we'll see who's a coward. I have a little present for you imagine breaker… hope you enjoy, Aiko said, as he suddenly disappeared. Touma looked at he spot the had disappeared. Damn it… now i just have to find Misaka, Touma thought, about to continue. Suddenly the saw somebody slowly coming towards him. ! . Wait aren't you!? Touma asked, as the saw he boy. Yes that's right… it's been a very long time… Imagine breaker, he boy said. No way! Dark Matter!? Touma thought.
(Seen from Jenny's perspektive)
Jenny sat in the same room as Aiko. He had just finished talking with Touma using a hologram, and a creepy smile was on his face. Ahh, don't you just love seeing the experiment going so smoothly Haia? Oh wait, i forgot you can't talk to much right now, Aiko said, as he laughed and looked at he little girl, who currently was tied up, using ropes that prevented any esper who touched it, unable to use their ability. And she couldn't talk, since a big piece of tape was put over her mouth. Hhhmhmh! Jenny said. But it only made Aiko smile. In front of them, was a window into a room, where Misaka was being held. It's no use… All i can do is sit here and watch. I can't even use my own ability, or speak! Jenny thought, with an angry emotion on her face. Mhhhmhm! Jenny said again. Oh don't worry, Haia. I'll let go of you soon… as soon as you've helped me with this experiment of course, Aiko said, with a smile on his face. Jenny looked scared at Aiko, as the began to laugh an evil laugh. Please… Hurry everyone! Jenny thought, with an even more scared expression.
(Back to Touma)
So, what are you doing here? Touma asked. Man, you really don't know anything, do you? Dark Matter, said. ? . Touma looked confused at the level 5 esper. Hh, well maybe this will make it clearer, Dark Matter said, as he suddenly formed some dark matter into a gun. Hold on! What are you doing!? Touma yelled. But Dark Matter didn't answer, and a second later pulled he trigger. As soon as Touma realised what Dark Matter was trying to do, he jumped
out of he way. I am he one who shall punish you, for sticking your nose into Aiko's experiment, Dark Matter said. Hold on! You're not saying you actually work for Aiko!? Touma yelled, in surprise. Yeah, it took you that long to figure out? Dark Matter asked, as he gun in his hand suddenly formed into something much bigger… A rocket launcher!? Are you crazy!? Touma yelled. Dark Matter didn't answer, but suddenly the just pressed the trigger. Suddenly, an idea(Surprisingly) popped up in Touma's head. Wait one second… Dark Matter forms, dark matter into weapons right? So i wonder… if i touch it with my right hand, Touma thought, as the quickly took up his hand to he rocket. He second her touched it, it turned back into dark matter and got over touma's hand. Ugh! Seriously? This stuff feels so damn disgusting! Touma yelled, as he tried to wipe off he dark matter.
To his surprise Dark Matter suddenly began to laugh. Hey? What's so funny? Touma asked, pretty seriously. You don't realise what you've just done, do you? Dark Matter asked, with a creepy smile. What do you mean? Touma asked, a bit concerned of what was going to happen. Hm, you might not know this, but my ability makes me able to do more than just form dark matter into whatever i'd like, Dark Matter said. ! , Touma's expression suddenly changed to scared, and sweat began to run down his forehead. You see, Imagine breaker, i don't need to form he dark matter into anything, in order to control you. So every time you break down one of my creations, it'll turn back into dark matter, and scatter over your hand. And since i can even control he dark matter at a distance… i can do this! Dark Matter said, as touma suddenly felt he dark matter spread more around his hand until it was completely covered. Touma tried to wipe all he dark matter away, but it was like it resitied to come off. Suddenly, the felt he dark matter tightening around his hand. And not just a little bit… he felt he blood stopping from running to his hand, and it felt like it was about to explode. Gggaaah! Touma yelled, in pain. You see? It's pointless. And now, i will end your so called right hand once and for all, but making it explode, Dark Matter, said as the stared at Touma with a killer look, and an insane smile. Oh, and to make sure nothing unexpected happens, i'm just gonna make sure you don't run away, Dark Matter said, as the unleashed more dark matter and spread it over Touma's feet.
A second later, he dark matter instantly dried like cement, making Touma stuck. Damn… it, Touma said, as he dark matter around his right hand gt even tighter. Now imagine breaker, your hands is a a point where you can't feel anything from it, a little tighter and it's gonna explode for sure, Dark Matter said, with a smile. Suddenly… something unexpected happened. Dark Matter's eyes suddenly got filled with pain, and all he dark matter on Touma's body turned back into he gui form, and a second later… Dark Matter collapsed. Touma felt he relief from getting blood back into his right arm, but still looked confused at Dark Matter's body. Well that was easier than i expected, another voice suddenly said. ? . Touma's quickly turned around to see, who he voice belonged to. ? . Who are you? Touma asked as the saw the girl.
(Seen from Jenny's perspektive)
Jenny had been sitting in a very uncomfortable position for two hours now. Her back was itching, and her feet were sleeping, but all of that was the least of her worries. She had no idea of what was happening outside of the facility, she currently was in, and she could barely move nor talk. Aiko wasn't in the lab right now… but where the was, didn't Jenny know. Man, is there really nothing i can do? Jenny thought, as she looked at the window to the room, Misaka was in. Suddenly, Jenny turned really sad. I wonder… Kakine said, he had already left when me and Ahmya was born… so how did he know exactly how she looks, speaks and fights? Jenny thought, as she suddenly thought of something different. Of course… there's no telling for how long my brother's been working for Aiko… It was even him who told Aiko about me and Ahmya in he first place… so this shouldn't be such a big surprise, that he would do something like that. Damn it! I swear, if I get my power back, i'll beat him up for kidnapping me!... Twice! Jenny thought, as he door suddenly opened and Aiko came in. There was a smile on his face, that Jenny just couldn't stand, and she looked madly at him.
Aiko walked over to he little girl, and quickly pulled up he piece of tape that covered her mouth. It hurt really badly, but Jenny tried really hard not to show it, since that would only make her seem weak. Aiko still smiled. I'm sorry for the rough treatment, but you see… I can't let you get away again, Aiko said. Oh yeah? Then why did you even let me go, the first time when Dark Matter kidnapped me? Jenny asked. Well there's a good explanation to that…. It's because I at that time didn't have your brother under my control, Aiko said. ! . Wait! Are you saying you've forced him to all those things against his will!? Jenny yelled. Well not exactly… i simply just used a chip that prevents his usual brain waves that gives him control over his own body, and implanted it on him. Aiko said. You bastard! Jenny yelled. Oh my, a girl at your age shouldn't use such a language, Aiko said. Well it doesn't matter anyway… but what does matter is what i have store for you, Aiko said. Tell me this, Haia… have you ever heard of verganic brain impulses? Aiko asked, without looking at he little girl.
Well i know only level 5s espers are capable of showing them, but not anything more than that, Jenny said. Ah yes, that indeed is true. You see verganic brain impulses are only created, when somebody as strong as a level 5s brain gets overheated. When their brain can't calculate fast enough, the brain will then emit verganic brain impulses. They are very rarely even created, since none of the level 5s has any problems calculating quick enough. But you see… in this experiment, the verganic brain impulses will without a doubt be created. But since i'm forcing another power into a body, your brain will work perfectly as a vessel for the verganic brain impulses, since your brain isn't an ordinary human brain, Aiko said. You bastard… Jenny said again. What? Aren't you scared the brain impulses will cross your brain problemes? Aiko asked. Why should i? There's way more at stake here, than if my brain will explode or not, Jenny said. Aiko laughed a little. Finally speaking like a grown up… you sure are special, Haia, Aiko said with a smirk.
(Back to Touma)
So, who are you? Touma asked, the girl who had just appeared. Oh i'm sorry, my name's Shokuhou Misaki, Shukuhou said. Wait one sec… i feel like i've heard that name before… Touma said, as he looked at he girl. Wait! You're the fifth ranked level five, Mental out, aren't' you? Touma asked. In flesh and blood, the blonde haired girl said.
