Chapter 15
Several hours after the game, Harrow sat in a classroom with Akia, listening to a lecture from the teacher on how to control esper powers better. Suddenly, a man in a white lab coat walked in to the the room.
"Umm. Excuse me Miss Taska, but may I borrow Akia and Harrow for a moment? we are doing a lab that requires both of them." the man said nervously.
"Of course Tom." Miss Taska replied with a smile before excusing them.
As Harrow and Akia walked into the science lab, Mr. tomara, or Tom, explained to them, "We are currently working on sound. More specifically how energy can be transferred to sound."
"So, why couldn't you use one of the railguns from your class?" Akia wondered.
"They can't produce, or handle the energy needed to make sound. they are only level 2's." Tom explained to her before continuing, "Now, I need both of your to face each other with your fingers splayed apart. Akia, make yourself negatively charged. Harrow, you're going to be positive and the power supply, the electricity should jump from your fingers to Akia's."
Akia and Harrow stood as they were told a few feet apart in the middle of the room.
"Begin." Tom replied as Harrow shot lightning at a steady pace through his fingers. the lightning arced to Akia's fingers as planed, making a high buzzing sound. Harrow experimented a few minutes, changing the power up and down and arcing multiple at once, the buzzing ranged from piercing high to rumble low. Suddenly Harrow had an idea and looked Akia straight in the eye before winking. As the energy arced between them, Harrow began messing with the power again rhythmically. As the arcs danced in front of an amazed crowd, a song formed that several people recognized and began to dance to.
Throughout the school, buzzing music could be heard as the classes welcomed the break. As Harrow and Akia finished their performance, Misaka walked into the room listening to the music and stood behind Akia, out of the way. Suddenly, Harrow felt something blast into his back. Harrow turned and saw a man in a red shirt holding a large gun. As the blackness of unconsciousness creeped into him, Harrow heard Akia and Misaka collapse unconscious behind him.
Suddenly, Harrow woke up in a large airplane hanger. As more sense returned, he realized that both his legs were chained to a red I-beam girder, while both wrists had handcuffs running behind him. Then, the thing his back was against gave a little and he released his cuffs were on Akia's wrists too. Misaka was beside him also, chained similar to him, but her wrist cuffs were attached to the chain of his by about five feet of solid iron chain.
Then, he remembered what happened. giving a look of concern, Harrow twisted around and saw under Akia's back collar a black tooth of a gear.
'Dam! why did this happen to her?!' he thought as he checked Akia for other injuries before he turned to Misaka and saw the same mark on her back as well.
