Misaka Mikoto Was Sporting A Rather Worried Look. She Was Fairly Beaten And On Guard For Her Opponent.
This Fight Was Rather Straightforward, But Misaka Had Been On The Defensive The Entire Time. While This Wasn't A Normal Approach For A Regular Street Fight.
Misaka's Opponent Shocked Her To The Point Of Utter Confusion. Even More So That She Was Actually Fighting Her Back.
Yes... Her.
Misaka Was Catching Her Breath When Footsteps Were Heard, Misaka Looked Past The Bend And Saw A Familiar Face Run Towards Her.
Holding A Bat.
This Person Leapt Surprisingly High Into The Air And Brought Her Bat Down On Misaka As The Latter Dodged.
Misaka Stares At Saten.
"Saten-San... Wait... Please..." Misaka Pants. Saten Readies Her Bat Again.
"Sorry Misaka-San, I Can't Wait Any Longer. I Need For You To Fight Back!" She States.
"Your My Friend! I Can Fight Corrupt Scientists, Magicians, Espers, And Touma All Day... But You! Again I Ask, What Sparked This Sudden Challenge?" Misaka Again Asked As Saten Spared Misaka To Explain.
"Simple... I'm Tired Of Being Ambushed On The Streets By Randos And Thugs. Even Though Its My Own Fault For Venturing Into The Shady Areas Of Academy City. Then One Day... I Met Some Foreigner Guy With A Cool Beam Sword And A Fixation For Japanese Culture. I Asked Him To Teach Me Self Defense. And He Said Sure." Saten Said.
"What The Hell..." Was What Misaka Was Thinking Right At That Moment.
"So, For The Past 4 Months. I've Been Learning How To Wield My Bats For Combat Better! I Might Even Become A Swordfighter, Heck I Even Learned About Something Just Like Esper Abilities That's Called A Death Glove!" Saten Smiles.
This Almost Terrified Misaka... Saten With A Sword... On Paper It Sounded Cool, She Could Maybe Even Help Out. But Even She Knew Academy City Had A Strict Weapons Ban And Saten Would Get Caught In Less Than 2 Weeks.
And What The Hell Was A Death Glove? Just Like Esper Abilities? Was It Stronger? Saten Wasn't Explaining Enough Apparently...
"I Mean... That Sounds Really... Impractical. Aren't You Fine The Way You Are?" Misaka Said As She Backs Up.
"Yes. At This Point, I Know I'm A Level 0, But If At The Very Least I Can Have Combat Abilities Then I'm Set. Now GET READY!" Saten Charges At Misaka Again.
The Latter Once Again Dodged Saten's Bat Swing. Truth Be Told, Misaka Hadn't Throw A Single Punch Yet. But After Hearing Saten Out. Maybe Misaka Would At Least Try To Knock Saten Out For A Brief Moment.
Misaka Dodged Two Bat Swings From Saten And Got Behind Her, She Pushed Saten Away And Prepared To Simply Kick Her. Saten Stepped Back And Swung A Bat At Misaka's Leg As She Retracted It.
Saten Again Swung And Misaka Was Running Towards The Street As Saten Was Giving Chase.
Misaka Finally Flipped Over Saten As She Didn't Expect It And Gave Her A Solid Kick To Her Backside Knocking Her Down.
Misaka Quickly Took Away Saten's Bat As She Got Back Up And Started To Throw Hands.
Misaka Was Socked In The Face As She Stumbled Back, Saten Landed A Right Hook And A Solid Uppercut. Misaka Clenched Her Jaw As She Watched Saten Grab Her Bat.
"Sorry Misaka-San..." Saten Apologizes.
"When'd You Learn To Punch So Hard..." Misaka Mumbled.
Misaka Gained A Quick Burst Of Speed And Landed A Clean Hit To Saten's Stomach, Saten Stumbled On The Floor As She Used Her Bat To Support Her.
Misaka Watched As Saten Swung Her Bat Again At Misaka As She Jumped Back. Misaka Finally Grabbed Saten's Bat And Landed A Flurry Of Punches As Saten Was Sent Flying Towards A Sign.
Misaka Resisted. As She Ran Towards Saten Again.
"Now I Know How Touma Felt During Our Fight." Misaka Internally Thought.
"I'm Not Finished." Saten States.
Saten Got Back up And Pulled Out A Kendama Outta Her Pocket, Together With The Bat. Saten Swung The Ball Around Quickly In A Circle To Create A Barrier Around Misaka.
"Kendama... Really..." Misaka Thought As The Ball Smacked Misaka In The Face A Couple Of Times. Misaka Jumps Over The Kendama And Aims To Punch Saten But Saten Jumps And Dodges The Punch. Misaka Was Then Wrapped By The String By Her Arm And Was Spun Around As Saten Lands 2 Clean Swings From Her Bat On Misaka's Face.
Now Bruised Even More. Misaka Was Debating On Thinking Outside The Box For This. Despite Saten Ultimately Being Weak And Powerless... Whoever Was Training Her, Was Training Her Well, She Had An Effective Arsenal And Was About As Nimble As Misaka.
Without Her Electricity Of Course. Yes... Misaka Was Obviously Holding Back A Ton. Its Saten... She Didn't Deserve To Be Treated Like Everyone Else. Misaka Was Giving Saten A Obvious Advantage.
Misaka Moves Away From The Crepe Stand As Saten Was Close Behind Her. Misak Jumps Over A Trash Bin And Jumps Towards Saten As She Prepared An Axe Kick As Saten Dodged As Misaka Continued With Her Onslaught Of Kicks And Punches.
Saten Was Showing Signs Of Fatigue As Misaka Landed A Clean Punch To Her Face Followed By A 5 Punch 5 Kick Combo.
Saten Threw Out Her Kendama Ball As Misaka Shielded Herself Using A Garbage Lid. Saten Swings Her Bat At Misaka Who Blocks And Delivers Another Hard Punch To Saten Who Tumbles Down.
Using The Window She Had, Misaka Threw The Garbage Lid At Saten's Head. The Force Of The Hit Didn't Knock Her Out. Saten Was Back Up Again.
"You Know... Your Surprisingly Durable." Misaka Nods.
" I Know... My Training Was Pretty Intense... I Was Dodging Trash, Jumping Over Buildings, And All That." Saten States.
"Nice... But, Your Still Barking Up The Wrong Tree." Misaka Said As Saten Wrapped Her Around With The Kendama String.
"We'll See About That." Saten Grins As She Hits Misaka With A Powerful Left Hook. Misaka Broke Free And Ran Away Again, Saten Threw Out The Kendama Ball Again And Tries Hitting Misaka But Misaka Was Dodging All Her Attacks And Throwing Back Various Items At Saten With Her Magnetism.
Misaka Jumps Up Towards A Building As Saten Was Stuck On The Ground.
"She Can't Come Up Here Could She?" Misaka Thought As She Saw Saten Throw Up Her Kendama As It Wrapped Around A Staircase As Saten Climbed It.
Saten Reached The Top As Misaka Almost Gawked.
"Nope... She Can." Misaka Thought As She Sighed.
"Cmon." Saten Nods As She Spun Around Her Kendama. Misaka Quickly Grabbed The Ball Coming Towards Her And Pulled Saten Towards Her. She Grabbed Her Shirt And Threw Her To The Side. Misaka Threw Saten's Kendama To The Left And Prepared To Knock Her Out.
Saten Got Back Up And Readied Her Bat As Misaka Dodged. Then She Was Hit By Another Bat.
"Your Duel Wielding!?" Misaka Shouts.
"You Bet I Am!" Saten Responds As She Attacked Misaka Nonstop, She Hits Misaka With The Two Bats And Sends Her Flying Towards The Other Building.
"Not Good..." Misaka Thought As She Clenched Her Head In Pain As Saten Pole Vaulted Towards Her. "My Head Hurts Bad..."
"If Saten-San's Using This Much Weaponry, I Have No Choice." Misaka Raised Her Fists As Saten Stood There. "I'm Picking Up The Pace!"
Misaka Let Out A Battle Cry And Begun To Swing Hard On Saten As She Blocked The Strikes With Her Bats.
Misaka Steps Back And Jumps Over Saten, She Gives Her A Kick To The Chest, A Punch To The Face And Grabs Her Shirt. She Threw Saten To The Side Again And Aimed To Give Her One Final Punch To Her Solar Plexus.
"Just Have To Aim This Punch There And Saten's Done For." Misaka Thought, Saten Stares At Misaka's Eyes.
"Not This Time." Saten Said As She Dodged Misaka's Punches With Considerable Speed. She Pushes Misaka's Fists Away And Punches Misaka's Head As She Swung Her Bats Again, I Pattern, Misaka Was Flying Off The Building And Easing Herself For A Better Landing.
"Saten-San... Your Pushing Yourself." Misaka Thought.
Saten Jumps Off The Building Towards The Back Alley And Jumps At Misaka Again. The Two Trade Blows Again As Misaka Ran Off Towards The Site Where She First Battled Touma.
Saten Was There, Wielding Her Two Bats As Misaka Stares At Her.
"Misaka-San... This Is Pretty Exciting I'll Admit." Saten Said. "Even Though It Hurts A Bit."
"Believe It Or Not... You've Done More Damage To Me With Those Bats." Misaka Said. "But Now Saten-San... I Think This Needs To End."
Misaka Generated A Iron Sandstorm Similar To When She Fought Touma. She Formed Her Iron Sand Sword And Pointed It At Saten.
"You Wanna Use Weapons... Bring It On." Misaka Said As She Charged At Saten.
The Two Of Them Clashed With Their Weapons And They Were Pretty Even.
That Is Until, Misaka's Iron Sand Cut Off One Of Saten's Bats.
"Oh No." Saten Said As Misaka Punches Her In The Face. Saten Was Barely Getting Up As Misaka Was Now Overpowering Saten With Careful Punches And Kicks.
Saten Tumbled On The Floor Again As She Points Her Bat At An Incoming Misaka.
Saten Winds Up And Kicks Dust Into Misaka's Eyes.
"AGH! W-Wha!?" Misaka Was Clocked In The Face By Saten's Bat As She Began A Counterattack, Knocking Misaka Back A Couple Meters.
Misaka Dodged Again And Again As Saten Was Relentless In Her Attacks, Misaka Jumps Back And Swings Her Iron Sand Sword As Saten's Bat Was Sliced Up Again.
Misaka Generated An Iron Sandstorm Above Saten As She Noticed.
"Your Showing Me This Misaka-San?" Saten Asks.
"This Is The Only Thing I'm Showing You. Considering You Can't Possibly Counter It." Misaka Said. "Don't Worry Saten-San. I Won't Kill You Obviously."
The Storm Surrounded Saten As The Wind Blew Her Around Everywhere. Misaka Predicted The Time Saten Would Land And Kicked Her HARD In The Chest. Saten Even Coughed Up Blood.
Saten Laid There On The Floor. The Fear Of Battle Was Finally Getting To Her.
"Woah... That Was Something." She Thought.
"Saten-San... Just Stop. I'm Not Continuing This For Long. We Can All Meet Up At Joesph's For Lunch And Forget This Ever Happened." Misaka Tries To Reason.
"Give Up? No! Misaka-San You Never Gave Up, What Makes You Think I Will?" Saten Declares. "I Want This."
"Saten-San..." Misaka's Head Was Still Ringing, She Was Confused As To How She Hadn't Gotten A Concussion Yet.
"OK Misaka-San, This Is It... I'm Showing YOU My Newest Weapon." Saten Picks Up
Misaka... Was Blown Away.
"Where In The Name Of Kami Did You Get That!?" Misaka Shouts.
"Well... Safe To Say I Earned It... Its A Prototype, An Old Model I Found." Saten Said As She Was In A Stance. "Since You Broke My Bats... I'll Fight With This!"
Saten Swung The Beam Katana Around, Misaka Was Far More Conscious... She Deduced It Could Kill Someone.
"Fine..." Misaka And Saten Swung Their Weapons And Clashed Once Again As Misaka Felt The Determination In Saten As Their Power Was Starting To Emite From Their Weapons.
Saten Dodged A Fatal Attack And Struck Misaka In The Back. The Pain Was Surprisingly Sharp Yet Precise. Misaka Was So Disorientated That Saten Punched Her Directly In The Face Again.
Then... Misaka Saw Something.
Saten Was Readying Another Stance. But Misaka... Misaka Saw Red.
Misaka's Temper Was Nothing To Sneeze At, Touma Would Testify. But Only The Truest Of Villains Unlocked Misaka's Inversible Rage And Determination To Destroy Them.
A Small Shrivel Of This Feeling Was About To Slip Out.
In A Urgent Fight Or Flight Move, Misaka Flipped A Coin And Sparked With Electricity. She Was Now On Autopilot.
Saten's Eyes Went Wide. The Railgun... Misaka Was Going To Hit Her With A Railgun!?
Saten Calmed A Bit... She Realized Something She Could Do... But Could It Work?
She Didn't Know... If It Didn't Work... She Wasn't Fast Enough To Dodge A Lightspeed Coin. It Was This, Or Death. Or At Least Hospitalization.
Saten Breathed.
"I'll Try It."
Misaka's Railgun Shot Out Like A Cannon. The Coin Burst Forth. It Approached Quick. Saten Quickly Readied A Swing.
Suddenly... Misaka Realized What She Did And Was Horrified. She Was About To Kill Saten. On Accident.
"NOOOOOOOOO!"
Then... Saten Swung.
She Swung Her Bat At The Incoming Coin...
And To Their Complete And Total Shock.
Saten's Beam Katana Came Into Contact With The Coin And Stopped It.
The Railgun Was Stopped.
Both Of Them Stared At The Coin In Utter Silence.
None Of Them Dared To Say A Word.
"Did I... Just..." Saten Thought.
Saten Unsheathed Her Beam Katana And Went Up To Misaka... The Latter Was To Stunned To Give Her A Response.
"Lets Call This A Tie." She Said. "I'll Get Us Fixed Up OK? Hopefully Shirai Or Uiharu Don't Blow Up On Us For This."
"Yea..." Misaka Mumbled. Still In Shock.
The Pair Walked Home As Saten Was Secretly Very Happy At The Results.
"Thank You Touchdown-Sensei!" Saten Thought.
A Man Was Watching The Two Of Them Walk Home.
"Goddamit. That's Where The Tsubaki I Went... You Know What. Who Cares... As Long As She Doesn't Goof With It. Silvia... When's The Next Ranking Fight?" Travis Touchdown Said As He Left The Scene. "I Wanna Drop By Seventh Mist To Gamble For Gundam Figures."
"Travis... You Really Love Japan Don't You? You Flithy Weeb." Silivia Said.
"Its Okatu. And Yes... Yes I Do." Travis Grumbled.
"Watch Out Henry... I'm Coming For Your Bitch Ass."
-The End-
