With A Snap
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Chapter 27: God Knows
It's just another day. Haruhi is going to be pissed, and it's not my fault. It was my turn to clean up class after school, and usually, people would understand but not Haruhi. She bolted out of the room and headed to the club room. I'm half expecting to find her waiting with a new punishment in mind.
To my surprise, the door was shut close, and the other three club members are waiting there.
I sigh, "Don't tell me she's that upset."
Koizumi, the resident esper, smiled his usual enigmatic smile. "No, I don't believe so. Ms. Suzumiya isn't in the best of mood, but I don't believe it because of your delay."
"…That's good?" I could sense a but coming.
"That is too say something does seem to be upsetting her."
I knew it. "What?"
"I can't say," He gave a half shrug. "My associates and I have been rather busy today. I was almost late myself."
Koizumi was an esper; he and his associates were supposedly espers empowered by Haruhi. They could enter a closed space and fight giants that were the manifestation of her negative emotions. If those giants ran amok, the damage they did in that world could affect this world.
"The blue giants have manifested, and strangely they have done nothing. They stand there as if expecting something. Maybe Miss Nagato or Miss Asahina could explain."
Asahina was the adorable girl who was an agent from the future. Nagato was some sort of alien; she called her self humanoid interface for the alien being known as the Data Thought Integration Entity.
Miss Asahina took a moment to ponder her answer, "Uh, I don't think so. My superiors haven't told me anything, and from what I know, there aren't any incidents around this time."
Nagato slowly shook her head, "There are no indications of anything that would upset Haruhi Suzumiya."
Koizumi shrugged, "Maybe she has an upset stomach. She arrived and asked us out so that she could take a nap."
I scratched the back of my head, Haruhi was supposed to be this reality-warping being that these three and their organizations were keeping an eye on. They all worked to keep Haruhi from finding out the supernatural was real.
"I guess it's better that she just wants a nap than cause something crazy to happen."
I must have tempted fate because something happened, Nagato's emotionless face broke into a look of terror.
"Nagato?"
"The Data Thought Integration Entity is gone."
"What?"
"The Data Thought Integration Entity has ceased to exist."
Nagato was concise, and if she said something, it was because that was the case. The Entity was some powerful being and had just gotten taken out.
"Ah!" Asahina let out as I turned to see her; she was crying as her body had started to dissolve into ash.
Asahina was sobbing, "What is happening? This isn't supposed to happen. Classified-" And with the lovely Mikuru Asahina was no more.
I stared, stunned, unsure of what to do or what to say.
For a moment, I thought it had to be Haruhi, but I stopped my thoughts as deep down I knew she was not this cruel.
One of the room nearby burst open as the computer club guys ran out of the room — one of them tumbling to the ground turning into dust, making the other members panic more.
I looked out of the window where students should have been going home only to be running in a panic as people randomly were dusted.
Koizumi grabbed me as his smile finally faded, "Kyon, listen, I don't know what is happening. But I don't believe Miss Suzumiya is behind this. You have to protect her and keep her from noticing this."
"How?! This is pretty hard to miss."
"I'm afraid you will have to find that out for yourself." Koizumi barely finished speaking as his form was turned into so much dust.
Screams of fear and panic filled the school, but Nagato stared at the door. I don't know why I did it, but I did, I opened the door. I don't know what I expected, maybe Haruhi glowing with power or something. All I saw was her desk empty except her brigade leader armband and a bit of swirling dust.
Author's Notes: Someone requested A Haruhi snap story, so there you. It was a while ago.
Its been a while since I did a story in this universe, so I hope it came out okay. I tried to do it in the book style, with Kyon narrating it.
Q&A:
Luiz4200: Not really. Clockwork just got the unlucky coin flip. Let me try to explain it; futures are gone. No one had a future that half the population just vanished, yet that one was becoming the true future. That straight-up swept away all other futures. Anyone from the future, like Red in OK KO chapter are all cut off from their times now. Time has been wrecked so badly it can't compensate and handle paradoxes or indeed erase people who shouldn't exist at all now. That is until it settles and this new future sets in, but more on that later. Just know that this massive omniversal change to reality has consequences.
But this erasing all other futures has actually made it easier for psychics, soothsayers, and future seers to perceive the future. In Saiki K chapter had Aiura seeing who was about to die even when certain other factors would have stopped her. Since there is only that future the inevitable one its coming in crystal clear. For Clockworks, he can see the paths time could go but the snap cut all those paths off. The screens he saw were the ones of the very near future and he caught a glimpse of his future and tried to warn Danny.
I hope that explains it.
And yes I've put a lot of thought into the rules and effects of the snap.
