Chapter 15: The Sailor Guardian Of Time And Space
Being that she was still feeling concerned, Uiharu went to see Kiyama and tried to convince her to share information with MAR in an effort to help her students.
However, Therestina had wound up destroying Kiyama's data and refused to let them see either Erii or the children.
And when I mean destroy, I mean she literally and deliberately stepped on the flash drive that held the data on it.
Man, you know it almost seems as though she is the villain in all of this?
When Uiharu wound up telling us about what had happened, we learned that Therestina was in fact Gensei's granddaughter, who was actually the first test subject of his Ability Crystal program.
Realizing we had both been tricked, Misaka and I wound up confronting a battle-suited Therestina at the MAR Base Research Laboratory, but we were unfortunately outmatched. Having to remind myself that bad guys don't fight fair, which was ultimately brought to light when Therestina used Capacity Down on both of us.
To which she also revealed that she intended to finish Gensei's work.
And as Therestina and MAR wound up leaving with Erii and the children, Misaka and I were thankfully rescued by Kongo, who had been resting nearby, following a previous Poltergeist incident.
Despite Therestina nearly choking Misaka out up against one of the pillars of the outside of the MAR lab building.
When Misaka awakened, in a hospital a little while later, with me and everyone else present, she wound up blaming herself for what had recently transpired.
To which she then got out of her hospital bed, and we then attempted to go off on our own again, in an attempt to go after Therestina, before innocent people wound up getting hurt.
But not before I decided to speak up, in an effort to try and put Misaka at ease.
Seeing as how she seemed to be not in a great way, since she had blamed herself for what had transpired.
"Look sis, I know you must feel guilty, but you have to understand that there are some things in life that even the two of us can't fix on our own" I said in a concerned tone.
"Thanks sis, that means a lot" Misaka said.
However, before anything else could be said between the two of us, Saten then stood in front of us, and barred our way.
And I wasn't having any of it.
"Out of our way Saten, we need to go after Therestina before she winds up harming innocent people!" I said in a concerned sounding tone of voice.
However, my statement to Saten may as well have fallen on deaf ears.
This was because not only did she not budge from where she currently stood, but she then wound up reminding us both that we did not have to go and do everything by ourselves.
But, however something good did result out of this, we got Uiharu and Kuroko to make up with each other.
And on top of that, we then learned Kiyama was chasing after the MAR trailers to their destination.
And, with this new information now acquired, Mikoto, me, Kuroko, Uiharu, Saten, Konori and Kongo then proceeded to head out to save Erii and the other Child Errors, and hopefully get them to come out of their comas.
However, this would wind up being a much harder task, then either Misaka or I would ever realize.
We had recently learned that Kiyama was after the MAR trailers, unaware that they were decoys filled with the MAR Troops, but she was saved by Misaka and I.
Kuroko, Kongo, Yomikawa, Tsuzuri and the Anti-Skills held off the rest of the MAR Troops.
Kiyama, Uiharu and Saten headed towards Kihara's laboratory, whilst Misaka and I defended them from Therestina, who attacked with a giant large mech.
Although Therestina's mech was unaffected by Misaka and I's basic attacks, Kuroko wound up helping both of us destroy the mech, by Misaka having me use the mech's own arm as an improvised railgun.
But not before a little bit of an exchange of words was done between me and Misaka.
"Well sis, are you ready to end this?" I said with a small smile very much present on my face.
"Sis, you don't need to ask me, just focus on the task at hand" Misaka said in a slightly concerned sounding tone, although with a smile evident on her face as well.
"Right, my mistake sis" I responded back, as I then fired at the mech, destroying it.
However, a little later on, as Misaka, me, Kuroko, Uiharu, Saten, and Kiyama finally arrived at the underground lab where Erii and the children are being held.
However, Therestina, who had survived, suddenly activated the lab's Capacity Down and attacked them, revealing her plan to use the First Sample from herself and the children to force Erii to become a Level 6 esper, and destroy the city in the process.
"Wow are you serious right now? Therestina, why can't you just be a good villain, and just die already!?" I said in a very agitated tone, as I held my head, while pain coursed through it from the waves of Capacity Down.
It really did like all was lost.
However, unbeknownst to all of us, Saten, who was the only one that wasn't affected by Capacity Down, since she was a level 0, and didn't possess any esper ablities.
Went to Capacity Down's control room, and wound up destroying its controls.
And once Misaka and I had gotten our bearings, we then readied ourselves to finally defeat Therestina with our railguns.
And as both Misaka and I pulled out our respective arcade tokens from our respective skirt pockets and placed them between our respective two fingers.
I decided that now was as good a time as any, to say some parting words for Therastina.
"So, any last words, how about, I'm sorry for what I did, hmm?" I said with a determined tone very evident on my face, as I started charging electricity into my arm and hand that held my arcade coin, to which Misaka was doing the same.
Unfortunately for her, Therastina remained silent.
"Well, its your loss" I said.
To which I then, without turning to Misaka, decided to speak up.
"So sis, you ready to end this properly?" I asked as I prepared to flip my arcade coin.
"Sis, how many times are you going to ask that?!" Misaka responded back, now clearly not very happy with me asking her these unnecessary questions.
"Right sis, again, my mistake" I said as a bead of sweat found its way down one side of my face.
And with those final exchange of words between us, we flipped our respective coins, and as soon as they came back down again to rest between our two fingers again, we fired, producing our respective railguns, and wiping Therastina out of existence.
And, with the First Sample now in her possession, Kiyama wound up creating the cure and wound up finally awakened Banri and the other children that had gone into comas, to which she gave her thanks to Misaka and I.
And in the aftermath, the recovering children gave a birthday message to Kiyama via a blimp as Misaka, myself, and everyone else watched.
However, as I looked on at the scene before me, something unexpected happened;
The scene around me suddenly began to shift and warp.
However, I also noticed that this wasn't affecting everyone else that was present, and they also didn't take notice of it either.
And before I could think or do anything else, the scene around me got very bright.
When the brightness around me seized, I found myself in a room, that for some reason looked very familiar to me.
It was when a voice started to speak to me from across the room, that I then realized exactly where I was.
"I am very sorry to bring you here like this Keiko, but given the current circumstances, I saw no other..." the voice was about to continue when I decided to cut her off.
"You can spare me that Setsuna. I know that you are the sailor guardian of time and space. And usually, when someone is summoned to meet you face to face like this, I can only assume that it is due to something of grave importance. So Setsuna, what is it you want from someone like me, and why didn't you ask Misaka about this instead?" I asked, confused and yet also intrigued, as Sailor Pluto then came into view from the other side of the room.
"Look Keiko, there are a great many things you don't understand, and yet, now that I have gotten a better look at you, you seem to remind me of someone" Sailor Pluto said with a bit of intrigue present in her tone of voice
"Oh really, what things don't I...wait...who do I remind you of? And furthermore, am I to assume that they are not of your world as I am of MIsaka's?" I asked, now sounding more intrigued.
It was at this point that a look of shock found its way across Pluto's face, which subsided seconds later.
"Ah, it looks like age doesn't always come with wisdom, does it Setsuna?" I said with a look of calm on my face.
It was then that I realized something, an idea had popped into my head, but wanting to confirm this, I decided to ask Setsuna, as well as judge her expression that she gave in response, to see if I was indeed right or not.
"This person, have they by any chance had a run in with a person on your team...and judging by your previous shocked expression, I can only assume that it was with someone of great importance, Sailor Moon perhaps?" I asked, pressing further.
Setsuna, at this point displayed a look of frustration, now clearly not at all amused with me asking such a question.
But it was at this point, that wanting to avoid any sort of issue, perhaps Pluto possibly bringing her wrath down on me, if something wasn't said. I decided to do a little damage control.
"Look, I know I am being rough on you a little bit with these questions, but you have to understand where I am coming from here. I understand that you mean well Setsuna, but the fact of the matter is, your timeline went askew when your princess crossed paths with the person that you said I reminded you of. Because if I had to make a bet, he or she knows about you and the senshi just as much as I do." I said in a very comforting tone.
It was at this point that the frustration wound up leaving Pluto's face, and her kind expression once again returned.
"Just be prepared Keiko, for I fear that a dark evil is close to returning once again. And for all of our sake, you and Misaka had best ready yourselves, because you and I may be meeting each other again a lot sooner then you may think" Pluto said as she clutched her time staff tightly.
"Message received loud and clear, oh and Pluto?" I asked.
"What is it Keiko?" Pluto replied.
"Don't hesitate to pay me a visit once in a while, there is still so much I would like to learn about your world. And perhaps I would like to learn a little bit more about this other person that you said that I remind you of." I said, with a small smile finding its way onto my face.
It was at this point that a blush then found its way onto Pluto's face.
And with those final words of mine said.
The scene around me once again got very bright.
And when the light subsided, I once again found myself back with everyone else.
And it looked like no one had realized that I had even left.
And what had just happened, had now set the stage, for a convergence, that no one, would ever have foreseen.
