I dont own anything about to aru majutsu index and Transformers
July 20
Night. The sirens of fire trucks and ambulances resound as they pass through the main street. Even though the dormitory was empty, apparently there was someone who thought it was a good idea to trip the fire alarm and activated the sprinklers. In less than no time, the empty dormitory's surrounded by fire trucks and onlookers.
Touma touched the hood with his right hand to make it untraceable, and took it with him. He could have left it as it was and thrown it somewhere to fool the pursuers, but he thinks that stubborn girl would still want it. In the back alley, Touma clicked his tongue. Touma was carrying Index because he can't possibly let her wound touch the dirty ground. Megatron suggested to Touma but bring her to hospital, but the idea rejected by Touma.
They can't let Index on an ambulance.
Academy City basically dislikes "outsiders", to the point where large walls were made to surround the city and three satellites constantly survey everything. If a truck delivering goods to a convenience store doesn't have an exclusive ID, their entry would be immediately rejected.
If an ID-less Index were to be admitted into a hospital, her information would be leaked in no time. The enemy is an "organization". If they get attacked there, the casualties will increase. Anyway, if Index gets targeted while getting treated - or worst-case scenario, while she's in surgery - she might as well be dead.
"Even though it's like that, I can't leave things as they are, can I?" asked Touma.
"Then! What should we do? If we not stop this bleeding, she will be dead" replied Megatron as he angry at Touma's decision.
Touma looked at Index. Her wound is not at the level where some amateur could bandage it up. Touma, who's used to fighting, would usually perform first aid on his "unspeakable wounds". Even to him, just looking at Index's wound would disturb him. The wound on her back is definitely severe. Because of this, she can only depend on them now. Touma still didn't believe it, but at this point, he has to.
"Hey, hey! Can you hear me?" Touma lightly pinched Index's cheek. "Aren't there any spells in your 103,000 grimoires that can heal wounds?"
When one talks about magic, Touma can only think of stuff like offensive magic and recovery magic from RPGs. Megatron only looked at stupid idea that Touma has now and decided to ask the same thing "Is there any?"
"...There is, but..."
Until Touma heard "but", he seriously felt like rejoicing. "It is impossible... for you." Index lets out a small breath.
"Even if I teach you... the procedure, and you carry it out perfectly... Ouch... Your power will definitely interfere."
Touma looks at his right hand in astonishment. Imagine Breaker. The power that lies there without a doubt completely erased Stiyl's fire. If so, he'd also completely cancel Index's recovery magic.
"Dammit! Again... Because of this right hand again...!"
"Then let me do it!" suggested Megatron
She shook her head "You being an 'Esper' are the problem." In this sweltering night, they started shivering as if they're on a snowy mountain.
"Magic isn't something that... Espers, 'those with talent', can use... Because 'those without talent' wanted to be able to do the same things as 'those with talent', they gave birth to a ceremony and practice called... magic."
"What are you trying to explain at a time like this?" Touma shouted.
"You don't understand? 'Those with talent' and 'those without talent'... run on different circuits... 'Those with talent' cannot use magic designed for 'those without talent'..."
Touma became speechless. "Espers" like Touma and Megatron undoubtedly run on different circuits compared to normal humans. They take drugs and use electrodes to forcibly try to develop the brain. If one's talking about body composition, they're definitely different. But they don't believe this - no, they don't want to believe this.
There are 2,300,000 students living in Academy City. Furthermore, all these people are taking the Power Development "Curriculum". One can't tell by looking, but they've all strained themselves so hard, to the point where their brains' blood vessels would tear, just to get a spoon to bend - and they're only the weakest Espers. Of course they're different from ordinary people.
In other words, there is not one person in this city that could use magic to save her. Even though there's a way of saving her right in front of him, no one can do anything.
"D-Dammit...!" Touma grinds his teeth like a beast. "There must be something. There must be something! Dammit. What the hell? How did things turn out like this...!" shouted Touma
Megatron went silent after hear that, but he is tried to find another solution. They can't come up with any solutions. If the 2,300,000 students living in this city can't use magic, what else can he do? Touma thinks to himself, and remembers something
'Students?'
"Hey, if it's any ordinary 'talentless' person, they should be able to use magic, right?"
"...Eh? Yeah..."
"It's not like 'It's no good unless they have talent in magic', right?"
"It's alright... As long as they prepare and do it correctly... I think even a middle school student would be able to do it." Index thinks for a bit.
"If they mess up the procedure, their brain and neural circuits will burn out... however, because my name is Index (103,000 grimoires), it's alright. There's no problem."
Touma smiles, he inadvertently looks up at the moon in the night sky. Certainly, all the resident students in Academy City have gone under Esper development at some level. If one looks at it another way, the teachers who develop Esper powers are just ordinary humans.
"I have the perfect person to do it!" shouted Touma as he started carrying Index once again. Megatron confused but he can feel Touma found an answer.
"Megatron, follow me! I know someone who can help us!" He shouted to him as they started running.
July 24
At the Autobot base.
"So Level Upper is a song" Prowl said. Currently he is sitting with Jazz, Optimus and Bumblebee after Starscream tells Optimus hear what Shockwave Learned
"And it impacted on the five senses like Testament," Jazz said.
"What is Testament?" Bumblebee asked.
"Testament is a device used for inputting large amounts of digital information to the brain in a short period through all five senses" Prowl explain.
"So the Level Upper creating a similar effect but only through listening" Bumblebee said.
"That right! Synesthesia a phenomenon where multiple senses are evoked using a single stimulus" Optimus said.
"But why do people use it fall into coma?" Jazz asked.
"That I can answer for you," a voice spoke. Everyone looked toward the voice.
Entering the room was a man about 30 years old. He has blond hair blue eyes, wearing a yellow doctor suit
"Oh! Ratchet back from the hospital "Jazz said.
"Yes, and I bring bad news for you guy " said Ratchet.
"What happened?" Optimus asked worry.
"Today two cases fall into coma for use Level Upper one of them is Saiten Ruiko" Ratchet replied makes Jazz and Prowl eyes wide.
"You are kidding right". Jazz said Ratchet shook his head.
"Dammit," Prowl slam his hands down the table, "Why would she use it."
"From what I hear from her friend. They say she does not want to become burden for her friends so she used it, "said Ratchet.
"Stupid" Prowl said.
"What we can do is find out who make them so we can save her and everyone," Optimus said.
"You mean Kiyama Harumi" Jazz said. When they hear Harumi is the suspects has connect to the Level Upper Prowl and Jazz totally surprise.
"But we still have no evidence that she connect to it," Prowl said.
"Ratchet" Bumblebee calls the attention of the doctor, "So what reason the victim is fall in the coma?"
"Based on what I check with Heaven Canceller. He and I discovered that the brainwave of the victims is quite similar "Ratchet said.
"But everyone's brain waves are completely different," Bumblebee said.
"Yes! That turned out that Level Upper is forcibly tampering with brainwaves and rendering the victim to unconscious "Ratchet said.
Prowl's phone suddenly rang.
"Alo" Prowl replied. Prowl eyes quickly widened
"OK! I'll go there immediately, "said Prowl turned to everyone" Kuroko was discovered that Harumi is the one who spread Level Upper and she was kidnapped Uiharu-san "Prowl said.
"Certainly Ant-skill has received notice and look for them" Optimus think
"OK! Ratchet you stay here and report to me when the Anti-Skill finds them the rest of follow me, "said Optimus and all four than running out of the office.
(A few minutes later)
"Optimus! This is Ratchet "Ratchet said over the radio, Optimus and with three Autobot running towards where Anti-Skill detected Harumi.
"Say it Ratchet" Optimus answered.
"Anti-Skill has intercepted them and seems like Oh my god" Ratchet yells.
"Ratchet what's wrong?" Optimus asked.
"Harumi she's a multi-skill Esper" Ratchet replied.
"What!" Optimus said.
"Based on what I have received from Konori that she use Level Upper to create a network from 10000 Esper so she can use a many power" Ratchet replied.
"Misaka Mikoto and she are fighting you guys need to hurry up," Ratchet said.
All of them come to the bridge and saw Anti-Skill were defeated. And part of the bridge has collapsed. The four of them go down the bridge they saw Mikoto are facing Harumi.
"Why are they doing it?" Mikoto asked Harumi.
"To the public, it is an experiment of the control of AIM diffusion fields," said Harumi "But in fact, it is the experiment analyzing the principles behind overloading abilities"
Harumi continue to hug her head " they wanted to find out what the trigger for overloading of AIM diffusion fields, it was an experiment deliberately designed to overload them, but I never realized it until it to later"
"That mean ..." said Mikoto realized what Harumi said.
"They deliberately overloaded the kids and I did not realize that," said Harumi.
"Experiments on humans" Mikoto said everyone is there eyes wide.
"They never woke up, and continue to sleep to this day," Harumi turned around they can see the grief and anger on her face.
"They used them as guinea pigs, and threw them away," Harumi shout.
"But why did you not tell Anti-skill" Mikoto said.
"23 times before I tried to tell them and ask to use Tree Diagram to find the way to save them but they all refused," said Harumi "Because it involves the head council so there was no way the Anti-Skill would move"
"I will do everything to cure the children if that mean to become an enemy of this city" yell Harumi. Suddenly she hugged his head and cried.
"What happened?" Jazz said.
"System Overload" said Harumi before unconsciousness.
Jazz and Prowl running to check Harumi suddenly something queer comes out of her head.
"What," Prowl said.
"It looks like a fetus," Bumblebee said
It bubbles and spurts spontaneously, and floats high above the air before them. It has rudimentary limbs and have a grotesque bulbous head, it is like a child, but a terrible debasement on it. It has crimson corneas and yellow irises, like a some demoniac form of conjunctivitis. Indeed, demoniac would not be far off, as crowning his head is a glowing halo, revolving hypnotically. It opens it eyes, and like all children, screams that it is alive.
"AHHHHHHH"
As it screams and powerful gusts of wind billows out from it suddenly, a blast of energy rips out from it, and Mikoto is forced to shield herself from the power while the other dodged it
After the explosion, Mikoto comes out the smoke and attacks the thing, tearing its back with a gaping crimson wound. However, much to her surprise, like a mutant cancer, the thing heals itself, bubbling and frothing from the wound, malformed arms, hands, and fingers form. It became bigger in the process, much to Mikoto's surprise. The thing with its huge eyes, notice Mikoto, and suddenly, it forms sharp crystalline objects out of nowhere, and hurls it towards Mikoto, forcing her to run away
"Are you okay" Misaka turned and saw Jazz and Prowl along with other two people.
"I'm fine," Mikoto said. "But what is that creature?"
"I do not know but it seems that it is in pain," said Optimus observations.
"Optimus! Do you hear me "Ratchet voice shout.
"Here Ratchet" Optimus answered.
"I have just received information from hospitals all victims using Upper Level is wake but painful as they are having a nightmare," said Ratchet.
"I see" and then Optimus immediately look around to find something.
"What happened in there Optimus?" Prowl asked. Optimus ran into Harumi just awake.
Upon reaching Harumi. Optimus heard her say.
"It's the monster that I created "Harumi says "Network had lost control with that the hope to save those kid. Everything has ended "
"No! It only ended when you gave up" Optimus says Harumi look at him.
Anti-Skill was just standing fire on into that thing.
"Aggregation of AIM dispersion fields" Uiharu said.
"You can call it as AIM Buster" Harumi explains. "Is the AIM dispersion fields of 10,000 espers merged together through the Level Upper network"
"In other words, it is a mass of the thoughts of 10,000 children," Prowl said.
"That was terrible," Bumblebee said.
"How to stop saying" Optimus said.
"You ask me," said Harumi with a smug smile why they would believe her no matter what she says while Uiharu put her hands on.
"You have removed the handcuffs for me," said Uiharu
"Just from that you decide to trust me" Harumi said.
"Because you really care about the kids I'm sure you not lie," Bumblebee said, "I believe you"
"AIM Buster was created by Level Upper Network if destroyed it, the monster will be stopped," said Harumi Uiharu searches her pockets.
"Level Upper Erase Program " said Uiharu as she shows the chip Harumi give to her.
"It worth to try," said Harumi.
"OK! Bumblebee and Uihara take it to where the remaining Anti-Skill the other tries to slow the monster "Optimus said. And all immediately go as the planned.
AIM Buster is close to the nuclear plant. If it gets there, it will be a disaster. Mikoto stand before the monster.
"You will fight me" Mikoto speak AIM Buster fire a ball of energy Mikoto immediately dodge attacks and shoot a bolt of electricity into it but the monster continues to recover although it's intended attack.
A fire shot in the head creatures attract its attention. Mikoto looked see who and saw it standing there is Prowl with Jazz stand next to him. The Monsters shoot a ball of energy in them. But Jazz raised his hands to create a shield that block the attack.
"Sorry! But that attack is not strong enough to destroy my shield "Jazz said. AIM Buster's tentacles whipped at them made them dodge away.
"Focused to it Jazz" Prowl said before shoot a fireball towards AIM Buster.
Mikoto create a blade made of Iron sand and use it cut off a tentacle but quickly the slashed part has been replaced by a different tentacles.
"So I cannot cut you" Mikoto gritted her teeth and look behind. "At this rate, the power plant will be."
Mikoto prepared to attack the AIM Buster but stopped when she remembered what Harumi says 'it is the thoughts of 10,000 children'
Mikoto is hesitate the AIM Buster use its tentacles grabbed Mikoto.
"Oh no" Mikoto said as tentacles grabbed her leg and throwing her to the wall. But before hitting the wall a wind stop her and lowered her to the ground.
"Pay attention to a fight Lv5"a voice said.
Mikoto looked up and saw three guys. The guy in the mid has black hair with red eyes. He wears a white shirt underneath a red jacket. He wears a blue jeans and white shoes. The guy on his right has black hair with brown eyes. He wears a black shirt underneath purple jacket. He wears a black jean. And the guy on his left has a brown hair with blue eyes. He wears a blue shirt underneath a white jacket and blue jeans.
"Starcream, Skywarp, Thundercracker" said Prowl realize who they are.
"We came to help" Starcream, answered.
"So you guys has come" Optimus said.
"You called them to help us" Jazz asked.
"We need all the forces we have" Optimus said.
"The monster is too big" Skywarp said.
"It was like in a horror film" Thundercracker added.
"Let the monster see the power of Decepticon seeker" Starcream said.
AIM Buster prepared to shoot a ball of energy. But before firing a shot Thundercracker shoot a bolt of electricity to it makes it explode. AIM Buster makes a cry of pain. And slap one of his tentacles to their side. Skywarp teleport them out of there. When they had move out of it. Starcream creates a small tornado shoot at monsters. The strength of the tornado makes a part of AIM Buster tentacles blown.
But despite that AIM Buster continues to recover. But it is song is play coming from everywhere in the city.
"They have done it" Optimus smiled. In the Anti-Skill vehicles Uihara and Bumblebee have upload the program online and play it across the city.
Part of AIM Buster is recovering stopped suddenly.
"OK! All attacks together, "said Mikoto instantly generate a large amount of electricity.
Prowl create a large fireball, Thundercracker charger electrical in his hands, Starcream creating a fit large tornado. Their attacks are shot into the monster make it burned and lost a majority of it body. Monster fall before them.
"We make it" Mikoto sighed.
"Not even close" Everyone turned and saw Harumi coming toward them.
AIM Buster suddenly stood up makes people turn to look at it.
"Although Network has been destroy" Harumi says, "that thing is still an aggregation of the AIM dispersion fields of 10,000 esper's thoughts"
"How to destroy it?" Optimus asked.
"There is a code inside it destroy it that thing will die" Harumi said.
"How do you understand how it fell" AIM Buster suddenly say
"Saiten" said Mikoto recognized the voice.
"They all said the same thing," a male voice.
"I've tried every day" another voice said.
"Lv0" a collection of voices emanating from AIM Buster talking about the feeling when an Lv0.
"Mikoto step aside" Optimus said.
"What are you doing" Harumi asked.
"I will destroy it" Optimus answered. "Get out"
"But I've created this monster," Harumi "I have to take responsibility"
"What about the kids," Optimus said, 'You do this for them you should not throw away you lives. Because when they wake up they will want to see you right? "
"But you just a LV2 Optimus how could stop it," said Harumi.
"Do not worry! There is a Lv0 also block attacks from LV5 "said Optimus make Mikoto think to a spiky hair boy.
"Mikoto buy some time for me," said Optimus. Mikoto create electromagnetic shielding to the monster and make it stops.
"No matter how I try to everything is still the same" AIM Buster said.
"Hurry up Optimus" Misaka said.
"Fights for everyone freedom," Mikoto hear Optimus said.
Mikoto looked back and saw on Optimus hand is a sword made of energy.
"What" said Mikoto observe sword.
"Out Mikoto" Optimus said and Mikoto move a side.
"Sorry! But let's try it again and do not lose hope, "Optimus said, and swing his sword towards AIM Buster.
The energy emanating from the slashes blows AIM Buster.
"That power," said Harumi eyes wide to see the attack.
'With that power why he still a LV2' Mikoto think.
When the attacks ended, the AIM Buster is no more and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Anti-Skill reinforcements arrived and took Harumi go.
"So what will happen to the kids," Mikoto said with Harumi before her been take by the Anti-Skill
"Do not worry I still have not given up," said Harumi "I will try again"
"Even in prison, I will still be trying my best because I have my brain "
"Wheeljack" Optimus says make Harumi look at him.
" A friend of Ratchet he's will bailed you out of prison and help you to find out how a way to help wake the kids," Optimus said.
"Thank you," Harumi smiled and got into the car.
That night.
Three day ago, they arrived at Komoe's place and asked her help. Komoe, at first decided to ask what actually happening, but she finally decided to help them and will ask the reason next time because Index was bleeding badly. The couple got out since Index explained that she can't have someone to interfere with the rituals that will be taking place. So the two went out and Touma tell Megatron that Index will tell him everything. Megatron nod and said that they will visit Index tomorrow. Touma agreed and get back to his dorm.
The two meet up at Komoe's house that morning and visit Index at Komoe's home. Komoe decided to leave them alone.
"How are you doing, Index?" Touma asks Index who's wearing Komoe's pajamas.
Megatron said to Touma while saw many beer cans and cigarettes in an ashtray, "Now that I see it. That sensei of yours maybe like small child; but looking at her room, it's like she's 30's or 40's somehow."
Touma laughed weakly at his statement; Megatron looks at Index and asks
"Index, could you explain what happened and why those people claimed that they are Magicians trying to hunt you down?"
Index started explaining Megatron about magic and he still disbelieve at first and but Index's wounds last night was gone. So he decided to believe at her.
"Index! If you need help, just asks us okay!" Touma said to Index with a smile.
"You and that Hero complex" Megatron said and sigh
Index smiled, "Thank you..."
And the three talking together like they are close friends. Not far away from their friend place, two familiar people are watching them.
"It seems that she's having her fun with those two." Kanzaki said as she observes from far away.
"That two brats huh? Too bad we have to take away her happiness…it is for a good cause." Stiyl said as he picks up another box of cigarette while Kanzaki looks at the three from faraway place with a sad face.
After talking each other for a while, Touma suggested the two to go to Onsen together.
"So, how's life in England?" Megatron asked after hearing Index tale of England.
"Actually I never had been there before." Index said while walking with Megatron with Touma next to him.
"Never?" The two surprised.
"Actually when I woke up, I'm in Japan and can't remember anything in the past." Index said with a sad face.
"That's why your Japanese is so fluent; but... to think you never remember anything in the past?" Touma said with a more surprised face with Megatron too. Index realized something, "Wait, I need to do something first." She's leaving the two immediately without even Touma and Megatron could say anything.
"Oi Index! Damnit!" Touma shouted. He looked at Megatron and suggested his idea,
"Let's chase her!" He just nodded and followed Touma to find Index.
"Geez! Where is she gone to?" Megatron asked himself while scratching the back of his head. He and Touma were looking a certain nun named Index. It seems Index gone after she felt something.
"She can't be gone this far." Touma confirmed while continued to search for Index. Touma looked at Megatron, "I think we should split up. With that way, we will find her faster"
"Yeah,"replied Megatron before he noticed something weird. There is no sign of human and they are alone in this weird situation.
"Hey Touma! Do you notice something weird here?" Megatron asks his friend and Touma realized something is out-of-place.
"Yeah, this is seemed weird, no cars or people?" Touma asked before the two heard someone's footsteps.
A voice appeared out of nowhere saying, "Rune."
The two instantaneously said and turned back immediately "Rune?"
A womanly figure appears; she was the magician's partner from yesterday. She is holding the hilt of her sword while saying, "Yes, a Rune which created a space that cannot be interfered to the outside world."
Both of them went silent before the women introduced her name "My name is Kanzaki Kaori"
Touma shouted at her and asked her something, "Where is Index! What have you done to her!"
"I've done nothing to her. If you two didn't involve yourself in this, she would never be hurt" Kanzaki said with a pity face.
She paused before she continued"... Just get to the main point like yesterday ... I wish to secure that girl before I mention my magic name."
"If not, Then what?" shouted Touma angrily to the women in front of them. Kanzaki suddenly swung her sword ... The next thing happened is... Touma and Megatron can fall something passed them and cut a windmill behind them become 2. Touma and Megatron could feel that she is stronger than them. They looked back at the woman.
"I will repeat myself ... I wish to secure that girl ... before I mention my magic name."
Touma stood and looked at her with serious expression. He knew that this woman is dangerous, but he couldn't turn back from this point. To protect Index ... who he just met yesterday ... He shouted loudly and one can feel strong expression. "NEVER !"
"Don't screw with me!" Megatron turn to shout.
Kanzaki closed her eyes and opened it once more. "I think I must inform both of you ... We are also from English Anglicans, 'Necessarius'. Our higher-up ordered us to bring her back."
Hearing that they are from English Anglicans, 'Necessarius'; it means they are Index's friend, but why she run away from her. Touma glared at her
"Liar! You say you are from the same organization as her! It also means that you guys are Index's friend! Then... WHY she run away from you guys!"
Kanzaki stood there, silenced at Touma's question. She started talking while looked at both of them "I have no choice then ..."
Touma clenched his fists and Mikoto also prepared her own stance but
Touma said to her, "I'll fight her...alone."
"Are you out of you mind!" Megatron said
He look at Kanzaki. "One versus One. Are you Okay with that?"
Megatron finally understood Touma's will and let him off for now "If the situation getting worse, I will join the fight."
"YEAH!" Touma looked at his opponent's carefully.
'I couldn't see a single slash, but it must be magic right! If it so then ... with right hand of mine' thought Touma while clenching his right fist once more.
"I have been explain by Stiyl, that your right hand can naturalize magic ... But as long it doesn't contact with the attack, it won't destroy. Let me tell you ... This isn't attack that able to be stop by your right hand."
Touma started thinking something, but he leap to her without any thought and she started her attacks.
"Nanasen!"
"Wait a second! Watch out Touma!" shouted Megatron when he realized something wrong to Touma.
Touma, thinking that the attack is magic and supernatural decided to use his right hand to block the attack but then he feels pain on his right hand and taken aback from her attack.
"Ugh!"
"Idiot!" Megatron called at him, realizes that his right hand injured.
'This feeling..' Touma looked at his right hand, which scarred by the attack
Kanzaki looked at Touma "I don't understand what driving you to do this ... But just stop it ... You can't win"
Touma looked at her and smiled "... Ultra-thin wires ... It seems that katana of yours not just a decoration. I bet you hide these wires inside there."
Megatron actually already realized what Touma meant after looked at Touma and Kanzaki fighting. He already surrounded by multiple wires ... ultra-thin steel wires in fact. Kanzaki replied without showing any expression "Yes! My Shichiten Shichitou is not an object for decoration. Better surrender now ..."
Touma stand up again despite the warning that Kanzaki gave earlier
"I see ... It seems you won't surrender with this kind of life-threatening condition" Kanzaki suddenly dashed to his direction and started delivering her attack ... Touma blocked it, but he could feel differences in physical strength between them. It made Touma hit the ground and wounded his body. But Kanzaki stopped when Touma managed to hold her katana. He started talking...
"In this kind of situation you can give me instant death ... But why you not do it ... You are still a person right?"
Kanzaki immediately stopped her attack and looked back at him ... hearing his speech "Then why would you have to hurt her! And worst, HURTING HER FROM THE BACK! Don't you know! She lost her memories because you guys! Chasing her while making her lost even her memories?" shouted Touma as he couldn't control his anger.
"... Yet, why is this only action you're talking ... with your power! You can save anyone... WHY!"
Kanzaki started feeling complicated after heard Touma then she started speaking...
"It's not ... I'm her colleagues and She is an important friend of mine ..."
Little by little, she started explaining many things ... "I didn't intend to hurt her, especially slash her from back!"
"I ... I didn't ... know that her 'Walking Church' had been destroyed" She said with a sad expression. Touma remember the robe that he 'touched' with his right hand and he felt regret.
Megatron realized something and asked "... Wait! Why she think you guys as evil magicians if you guys are her friends …"
Kanzaki looked at him "Because we erased her memories ... She didn't know who are we ... And she forced to make her own judgment ... That is logical to think magicians after 103,000 grimoires are from Magic Cabal"
Touma stood up and asked "Now you say it ... Index have perfect memories ... You erased her memories ... Is that the reason you tried to get her"
It seems simple. But if someone thinks it carefully, someone with perfect memorization ability shouldn't be able to forget something easily. Megatron asked Kanzaki, "So, that is your real purpose to get Index?"
Kanzaki looked at them two. "Y-Yeah! Each end of the year, we have to erase her memories."
Touma and Megatron shocked at what they heard, Mikoto started asking her for more information "W-Wait, erasing...memories? You guys do it? Why?"
"If we not ... she will die"
A single explanation from Kanzaki is like thunder in day ... Megatron and Touma immediately frozen there. Kanzaki continued her explanation.
"The higher-ups said Index's brain is used store 85% of the forbidden text and 15% relegated to her own memories, if she cannot erased 15% of her memories by the end of each year, the higher-ups said that she will...die." Kanzaki explained the two about Index.
"She...will...die?" Touma asked as he gulped all his words after found the shocking truth.
"I-Impossible! That totally impossible!" Megatron shouted at her.
Kanzaki gave her silent statement. Touma gritted his teeth and said, "S-So, is this memory wipe is the only way to save her? Is there any other method to save her?"
Kanzaki didn't replied to his answer.
"When?"
"3 more days."
Touma looked at her, he shouted at her ... "I know deep down there, you're still thinking another way to save her right? After all, INDEX IS YOUR FRIEND!"
Touma shouted at her. Kanzaki let out a sigh "Talking won't solve give her to us."
"No!"
"Why?"
"Index already our friend! We've always been her friend, and we always will be!"
Touma continued to talking "I always realized something weird behind your actions... Why you guys don't clear this misunderstanding! Why you leave ..."
Kanzaki immediately shouts "Shut up you amateur!"
Touma stopped and Kanzaki still shouted "You don't know what we went through all this time by taking her memories ... How Stiyl feel after looked at both of you ... How he must dishonor himself!"
Kanzaki began her attacks to Touma once again, giving Touma no chance to stand finally shouts her magic name,
"Salvare000" And Touma kept attacked until he battered heavily by Kanzaki.
Megatron joined the fight and wiped Kanzaki's steel wires from the arena with his beam. Kanzaki have no other choice than moved from where she stands or she would be wounded by Meagtron beam. They started fighting with Megatron kept continuing the attack and dodge Kanzaki's attacks. Kanzaki continued her explanation as she dodged the attack from Mikoto.
"Don't you guys see? We couldn't handle it anymore ... we couldn't bear to see her smile anymore!" shouted Kanzaki with sad tone to already battered Touma and Megatron. Kanzaki looked the lying Touma, but she's froze as Touma began to stand up even after receiving multiple hits that ordinary humans will die from it.
"THAT'S WRONG!" Touma shouted. His will managed to freeze Kanzaki
"I'LL MAKE YOU REALIZES YOUR OWN FOOLISHNESS FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO INDEX! THAT BULLSHIT LOGIC OF YOURS! I WILL DESTROY IT NOW!" He charged at the surprised Kanzaki. Kanzaki prepared another attack, but it was too late. She realized Megatron has done something to the steel wires. Touma punched her face very hard, she flown backwards and didn't move after that.
Kanzaki stood up again, it seems her wound after receive that punch didn't deep at all ... as she not wounded at all, but she looked back at Touma ... She won't hurt him anymore. Touma talked after he stand up. One can feel the emotion in each words Touma said. Like there isn't right and wrong, only a simple view. A way to make everyone understand the deep meaning behind his words.
"You didn't think her sake at all! Don't blame your own GUTLESSNESS on Index! If you scared to see her lose her memories ... Make even better and more blessed ones the next year! Let her conquer her fear of losing her memories this year! No one needs to run away anymore!"
"Are you protecting people because you have power ... It isn't! You acquire power because you want to protect something! That's all! Why you acquire power? Who want you protect with those hands? Then what are you doing here?"
The illusion that Kanzaki believe started cracking after hear it
"With that much power, with such a versatile power, WHY... WHY YOU GUYS ... ARE SO INCOMPETENT!" Touma caught his breath before he fall down on the pavemen.
"Touma!" Megatron said as he run to Touma. Stiyl came to see Kanzaki and saw that Touma has down.
"If you guys still wanted to fight, I will be your opponent!" Megatron said as he see Stiyl walk to them.
"You are very stubborn kid "Stiyl said and created his flame monsters.
"Don't you dare take another step" A voice said and all of them see Optimus walk toward them.
"How you can get pass those rune?" Stiyl ask.
"Why a Magician from Anglican Church and one of the Saint is here" Optimus said.
"Who are you?" Kanzaki ask.
"Optimus Prime" Optimus said Kanzaki and Stiyl eyes wide.
"Paladin111- I will fights for everyone freedom" Optimus said as he creates a sword in his hand.
Instead of continuing the battle, they escape after Kanzaki told Styl something and the Rune effect disabled.
A voice came to Megatron and Optimus ear, "Touma! Megatron!" It was Index.
"Index! Where have you been?!" Megatron asked her.
Index didn't reply her question. Megatron wanted to ask more; but after saw Touma in an injured state, he has to stop questioning her and focused on bringing Touma back to Komoe-sensei's house. Optimus go with them.
At Komoe-Sensei's house
"Kyaa~! What happened to Kamijou-Chan!" Komoe surprised after seeing the battered and bruised Touma.
"We got into a fight and this guy just goes hero and hurt himself in the process." Megatron explained after putting Touma on a bed prepared by Komoe. After that, he looks at Komoe and said, "Komoe-sensei, I have to return to my dorm but I'll visit him tomorrow morning." and Komoe nodded.
He looks at Index and said, "Index, please take care of him before I returned tomorrow okay."
Index also nodded and Megatron immediately went out from Komoe's apartment and see Optimus stand near there.
"You and me need to talk Optimus" Megatron said as his right hand glow.
"Yes" Optimus said.
