MIST
Volume 1
Chapter 2: The girl that fell from the sky
(Kamijou Touma) (Sunday September 2nd)
(Time to get going.)
After landing Kamijou realises he is a lot lower than everyone else after glimpsing Ruby blitz by in a burst of petals. However he also knows Grimm will not bother him unless they have no other choice.
"It's my only advantage, time to make it count." He murmurs to himself before he begins sprinting in the direction he thinks the temple is.
As he rushes through the forest trying to avoid any thorns or nettles he may come across, his mind is considering who he wants to be his partner.
"Ruby would be cool. Yang would be kind of annoying but I'd at least know I could trust her. Blake would be great." He says to himself as he leaps over a rock in his way.
He hears some rustling from the bushes in front of him. He gets ready for combat but is mentally hoping it's a person.
(Please not Weiss, Please not Weiss, please not Weiss.)
To be honest he actually thinks he'd prefer to be on a team with Biri-Bir than Weiss. Then his mind wanders to the possibility of being on a team with Misaka.
(Please not Weiss or Biri-Biri, please not Weiss or Biri-Biri.)
Then his mind decides to consider the possibility of being on a team with both of them. That would be just his luck. However he realises that it's only a lost Creep.
Shatter
And now there are no Grimm at all and he hasn't encountered Biri-Biri or Weiss yet. Something is about to happen. He isn't ever this lucky. Soon he finds himself in an opening with some stone ruins. He notices Blake and Yang there. "Hey Blake, Yang!" He yells to the two of them before meeting with them.
"Chess pieces?" He asks the two of them. The circular ruins have 12 pedestals in total with some of the pieces missing.
(Guess we aren't the first ones here.)
"Weird isn't it?" Yang replies before they hear a scream. Looking up they see Ruby falling from seemingly nowhere.
"Aaaahhhhhh!" She screams as she panics.
"Yang, What do we do?" Kamijou asks as he gets out his Dragon Canon.
Yang gets ready to intervene using her explosive gauntlets but before any of them can do anything Jaune comes flying into Ruby from the side.
The blond slams into Ruby and sends both of them flying off into the trees. Kamjou just stares. Yang tries to hold back a laugh once she realises her sister is safe. Blake's eyes look focused as if she is trying to comprehend what just happened.
"Did your sister just fall from the sky?" Blake asks, concerned for the energetic girl.
Yang just laughs.
"That was definitely Ruby alright." Yang comments before they see a couple of trees collapse in front of them.
The excitable redhead from before and the quiet black haired guy appear having just taken out an Ursa. The energetic girl is zipping around the corpse chatting to the very out of breath boy next to her.
After the girl grabs a golden castle and heads back to her friend Yang asks "Did that girl just ride in on an Ursa?"
Before anyone has any time to reply, the crimson haired girl he saw talking to Weiss earlier is desperately trying to escape her pursuer. That pursuer being a fucking Death Stalker.
Ruby leaps from the tree she hit to join the rest of the group.
"Ruby!" Yang exclaims going to high five her sister.
"Yang!" Ruby exclaims going to high five her sister.
"Nora!" The excitable redhead exclaims interrupting the sibling's reunion.
Kamijou loads some fire dust into his gun. Ready to charge forward and erase the Grimm.
"Did she just run all the way here with a Death Stalker on her trail?" Blake asks.
"I can't take it anymore!" Yang yells in frustration as her eyes turn red and a fiery aura starts igniting around her. "Can everyone just chill out for two seconds before something crazy happens again!"
Kamijou is deathly still, terrified of scaring the violent blonde. Ren–Nora's black haired friend comes walking over huffing and puffing from exhaustion. Two seconds pass quietly. Nothing. Nothing happens.
(Phew.)
"Uhm, Yang?" Ruby says patting her sister's shoulder to get her attention before pointing upwards.
"How could you leave me?" Weiss whines loudly holding on to the claw of a Nevermore for dear life.
"I said jump!" Ruby yells back.
"Really?" Kamijou asks and for once he agrees with Weiss. Who in their right mind would willingly fall from that high.
"She's gonna fall." Blake states.
"She'll be fine." Ruby says waving off their concerns.
"She's falling." Ren deadpanned.
Out of nowhere Jaune appears and then 'princess carries' Weiss. That doesn't help much considering now both of them are falling.
"Onee-Sama!" Misaka's friend exclaims as a railgun slams into the Death Stalker. There's no sound as Misaka's friend disappears and reappears next to Jaune and Weiss in the air. Grabbing hold of the two she disappears again with the pair and reappears on the ground.
(Teleporting!)
Dazed, the Death Stalker stumbles and gives the crimson haired girl time to reach everyone. After everyone left has arrived Kamijou suddenly comes to the realisation that there's an odd number of people left and he's the only one without a partner.
"Great the gang's all here now we can die together." Yang comments.
"Not if I can help it. Yaaahhh!" Ruby says before rushing towards the Death Stalker.
Yang face palms.
Ruby extends her scythe and tries to slice the Death Stalker but is knocked back.
"Kuroko!" Misaka exclaims and like a well oiled machine the girl with pigtails-Kuroko grabs Misaka's shoulder as she gathers electricity.
They teleport over to the Death Stalker and Misaka shocks the Death Stalker. They both teleport back with Ruby in tow.
"We have an objective. Let's grab our relics and go." Weiss states.
Each pair grabs a relic. Kamijou grabs one for himself although he has no partner to share it with.
The stunned Death Stalker begins to move again.
"It's time to go!" Ren says before they all begin running off towards the cliff face they came from. However soon the Death Stalker catches up to the group forcing them to fight.
"What now?" Blake asks.
Kamijou's mind tries to think up a plan. "Biri-Biri, how long does it take for you to create a Railgun?" He asks.
It shows how skilled and focused Misaka is when in battle that she doesn't comment on the nickname or question why he's asking such a question.
"Three seconds why?" She asks.
However before he can clarify they hear a roar from up above…A Nevermore.
(Fuck!)
"Scrap that, Kuroko, Misaka, Ruby, Weiss and I will deal with the Nevermore. Blake, Yang, Jaune, Nora, Ren and the girl with crimson hair, sorry I don't know your name, will deal with the Death Stalker." He says taking command.
They then split up into their respective groups.
"So what's the plan idiot?" Misaka asks Kamijou.
"We don't have time to come up with a proper plan. Especially against a Nevermore." He replies, his thoughts spiralling through the many possibilities.
"What's important is that we find a way to get me up there." Kamijou explains.
"Why?" Weiss asks.
"Yeah what makes you so special that you have to be the one up there? And can't I just teleport you up there if it's so important?" Kuroko asks.
"Well, the answer to both of your questions is my right hand. 'Imagine Breaker' has the power to erase anything supernatural with my right hand. Dust, Semblances, Aura and even Grimm." He explains and everyone's eyes widen in shock. All their thoughts boil down to 'Something that can just erase Grimm?'
"That's not possible!" Weiss exclaims. Kuroko nods in agreement and Misaka just looks more interested in fighting him.
"We don't have time for this, any ideas?" He asks
"I could probably get you up there." Weiss replies.
"How?" He asks.
"As long as your right hand doesn't touch my Glyphs I can probably launch you into the air." She explains.
"Ok new plan, Kuroko and Misaka you stay here in case our plan fails. If it does, teleport up there and fire off as many Railguns as you can. Ruby you're the fastest one here. Go join the others and help them." He orders the group.
They nod in agreement. Ruby blitzes off leaving behind only a trail of petals.
"Let's do this!" Misaka exclaims.
"Oh and Ape, my name is Shirai, call me Kuroko again and you will die." The girl with pigtails states. Kamijou gulps before nodding.
"Are you ready?" Weiss asks.
He nods.
(Ruby Rose)
She rushes off. Charging at full speed towards her friends fighting the Death Stalker. She sends herself flying using the recoil of her sniper-scythe.
"HAAAAHHHH!" She yells as she brings the Scythe down on the Death Stalker. She then blitzes away and repeats the process. She can barely comprehend what's going on around her.
She sees Jaune taking the lead and coordinating their efforts. Yang is dealing most of the damage alongside herself. Blake is providing cover fire and hooking anyone in danger and yanking them away.
Nora is repeatedly firing herself up into the air before bringing herself down using the recoil of her grenade launcher/hammer.
It's not long before they see an opening and the crimson haired girl next to Jaune throws her shield and severs a part of the Death Stalkers tail leading it to impaling itself.
Her feet kick up dirt as she finally slows down. She turns to see how the other group are doing.
Shatter!
(Kamijou Touma)
He crouches down as one of Weiss's Glyphs appears beneath his feet, he's careful not to let the Glyph come into contact with his right hand. He is sent flying into the air with one of her Glyphs. His Dragon Cannon is already in its grappling hook mode.
He fires it.
For a moment he begins to panic as he begins to fall; however the grappling hook manages to wrap itself around one of the claws. He presses the trigger again and it begins to retract slowly carrying him upwards.
He feels quite stupid as he clings onto the gun and slowly ascends as his grappling hook retracts. However, after about twenty seconds of ascending, he touches the claw with his right hand.
Shatter!
(Oh fuck!)
He comes to the sudden realisation that he did in fact not think this through.
"Aaahhhhhh!" He yells as the wind whips across his face.
His eyes wander briefly to the sight of everyone below. He sees that they've defeated the Death Stalker.
(Good.)
He sees Shirai panic for a moment. As much as she must hate him for some reason she certainly doesn't want to see him die. Ruby blitzes over with Blake who turns her sword into a gun with a rope. She launches the rope towards him as he descends rapidly. He grabs on as she yanks it towards her and he sends a bullet of wind dust downwards to slow his fall.
THUMP!
Before he can even register the feelings of pain he's bombarded by the sound of Misaka lecturing him.
"Of all the stupid, arrogant, dumb things you could do, you decided that launching yourself at a Nevermore was a good idea." She chastises the teen.
"Didn't you agree to the plan too though?" He asks.
"That was before I knew you didn't have a landing strategy!" Misaka yells in frustration.
Kamijou feels slightly guilty but says "But I did have a landing strategy."
Misaka just stares at him blankly for a moment. "Go on." She says while tapping her feet in frustration.
He gulps. Deciding that it's not worth telling her his landing strategy was just to wing it and hope for the best he stays silent.
"Exactly." She huffs, happy her point was proven.
"Stop flirting you two, we have to get going." Yang teases. Misaka proceeds to shock the blonde after turning beet red. Soon they arrive back at the top. Professor Ozpin and Professor Goodwitch meet them there.
"Phew, I'm glad that's done." Yang says as she tries to catch her breath.
Kamijou is the first to notice something feels off and then Professor Ozpin. The sky tears open. Out of a portal falls a girl with long silver hair in a white dress. She falls from the sky as the effect of gravity is applied to her body.
"Shirai!" Kamijou exclaims.
Shirai teleports up and grabs the girl before teleporting her back down.
Her green eyes look tired. His heart aches for some unknown reason.
"I…I need…Imagine…Breaker." The girl gasps out.
(Huh?)
(Misaka Mikoto)
After that girl fell from the sky she and the idiot were taken to the nurses office. The idiot hasn't left her side since he heard the words 'Imagine Breaker' , the name of his semblance.
She's currently sitting next to Kuroko as they announce teams.
"Russel Thrush, Cardin Winchester, Dove Bronzewing and Sky Lark" Professor Ozpin says. "The four of you retrieved the black bishop pieces, from this day forward you will work together as team Cardinal (CRDL) led by Cardin Winchester."
There is a round of clapping.
"Jaune Arc, Lie Ren, Pyrrha Nikos and Nora Valkyrie, the four of you retrieved the white rook pieces, from this day forward you will work together as team Juniper (JNPR) led by Jaune Arc." He continues. "Congratulations young man."
There is another round of clapping followed by laughs when Pyrrha knocks Jaune over.
"Blake Belladonna, Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee and Yang Xia long. The four of you retrieved the white knight pieces, from this day forward you will work together as team Ruby (RWBY) led by Ruby Rose." He announces and she can tell by Ruby's expression how excited she is. Yang envelops Ruby in a massive hug.
Weiss however looks conflicted. No. It's something more, jealousy or maybe even envy. Or maybe it's something else entirely.
There is another round of clapping. Mikoto and Kuroko walk up to the stage.
"And finally due to a participant dropping out early we have a three person team. Kuroko Shirai, Touma Kamijou and Mikoto Misaka The three of you retrieved the black knight pieces. From this day forward the three of you make up team Mist (MST). Being led by Mikoto Misaka" Ozpin says before clapping.
"Well done Onee-Sama!" Kuroko exclaims however Mikoto's thoughts are elsewhere. She notices that their names were called out in the way that is usual for most of Remnant.
(Kamijou Touma huh?)
She's never even asked for the idiots name even though she was so obsessed with getting him to call her Misaka instead of Biri-Biri. Not that she cares what that idiot's name is, he's still an idiot either way.
Kuroko leaps at her and gives her a hug.
Why can't she focus? Why can't she stop thinking about that idiot? She violently shakes her head to try and get rid of her thoughts.
(That idiot.)
(Kamijou Touma)
(Who are you?)
Kamijou can't help but wonder who the girl in front of him is. She knows the name of his semblance and if that isn't concerning he doesn't know what is. His head is being propped up by the hand resting on his cheek.
Turns out the girl had passed out from a mixture of malnourishment and emotional stress.
He looks out of the window. It's raining very lightly. He can hear the rain gently tapping against the window of the nurse's office. He turns around to look at the pale girl who's shivering in her sleep, pulling off his black jacket and folds it over the back of the chair.
He then pulls off his white hoodie with the inside of the hoodie being a purple colour. He lifts the girl up slightly before pulling the hoodie over the girl's head and spends longer than he cares to admit manoeuvring around the girl and doing mental gymnastics to figure out how to get his hoodie onto the girl.
She sighs happily and rolls over in her sleep feeling incredibly cozy with the new warmth surrounding her.
(So cute!)
He hears a knock on the door.
"Come in!" He calls out to the person on the other side of the door. Professor Ozpin and Professor Goodwitch walk in.
"How is our guest?" Professor Ozpin asks as he takes a sip of the mug in his hands. He sees Professor Goodwitch glance over at the hoodie on the girl and he feels his cheeks heat up slightly.
"Better, I think, she at least seems more comfortable now." He replies, he can see the girl begin to stir. He goes to say something…anything. His mind conjures questions he didn't even know he had on his mind.
Who is she? Why did she fall out of the sky? How did she know the name of his semblance? Why was she so malnourished? Where was she from?
But most importantly his greatest question for the girl before him is (How can I save you?)
He isn't incredibly strong or fast or rich or smart but he is determined and as long as his resolve is as tough as iron, his right hand outstretched and ready to shatter any illusions standing in his way he believes he will be able to save the girl before him.
"Who are you?" The girl asks as she sits up before surveying the room before her. She notices the hoodie she's wearing and…sniffs it?
"Whose is this? It's not mine." She asks after a moment. Kamijou looks into her eyes and finds they look almost dead, emotionless.
(She looks so empty.)
"I am Professor Ozpin, the headmaster of Beacon." The Professor replies "This is Professor Glynda Goodwitch and this is Kamijou Touma." The Professor introduces the two people standing next to him.
She gasps in pain and after slumping over for a second she bursts back into life and smiles brightly with a look of pure joy on her face.
(Huh?)
What happened to the girl who was dead inside only a second ago? However Kamijou can't help but blush at the sight of the girl smiling.
(She's adorable!)
"Glynda Goodwitch? The level zero huntress who rose through the ranks and developed her incredible semblance despite her abysmal amount of Aura? The Goodwitch that went from level zero to level four? That Glynda Goodwitch?" The girl geeks out and for a moment Kamijou thinks she looks a lot like Ruby.
"Yes, she is that Glynda Goodwitch." Ozpin confirms and Professor Goodwitch blushes in embarrassment from the praise.
Professor Goodwitch adjusts her glasses. "Now, onto more important matters; who are you?"
"I am Index Librorum Prohibitorum!" the girl exclaims cheerfully.
…
"Index, like the index inside of a book?" Kamijou asks after a moment of silence.
"Yep!" Is her only reply.
Suddenly she slouches over again before gasping in obvious discomfort. She shoots back up into a sitting position, this time however she looks much older than the last two.
She rubs the back of her head awkwardly. "I'm sorry." She apologises.
(What are you apologising for?)
"And, if I may ask, what are you sorry for?" Ozpin asks the girl who's now looking out the window with a…nostalgic look?
"Before I explain properly I must insist on the one who wields 'Imagine Breaker.' being present." Index says her eyes look very serious.
"I'm already here." Kamijou chimes in as he moves to sit in the chair next to Index's bed. Index's eyes widened.
"But…You're so…so young?" The young girl says uncomfortably.
Kamijou finds this statement odd. You know considering the fact that she looks younger than him.
(Wait…Is she like Komoe-Sensei?)
Komoe-Sensei was his homeroom teacher at A Certain Huntsman Academy, nobody knows how old she really is but she looks like a ten year old. That doesn't affect how competent she is though as she is one of the lead researchers on the use of fire dust in the world.
"Ah, I suppose I should explain then." Index says.
Everyone in the room looks over at the young teen with interest. He can hear professor Ozpin take a sip from his mug.
"I am not the owner of this body. The girl you are looking at is a part of the IndexBreaker project." Not Index says.
(...Index…Breaker?)
"What is this 'IndexBreaker' project?" Professor Ozpin asks curiously as he takes another sip of his mug. Professor Goodwitch has a notebook and is jotting down what they know about the girl so far.
The girl shifts uncomfortably. "When Academy city learnt of a person who had no Aura at all they were absolutely terrified. They had many theories like 'is he a human looking Grimm?' When they figured out it was your semblance that negated anything and everything supernatural including your own aura…" She trails off looking uncertain.
He holds her hand supportively, he knew that they'd gone to great lengths to research Imagine Breaker but he has never heard of this IndexBreaker project before.
She smiles at him in thanks before continuing to explain. "They needed an anti-Imagine Breaker. Someone who had the power to bypass your Imagine Breaker."
"How did they plan to do that?" Professor Goodwitch asks and you can hear the scratching of her pen as she rapidly jots down notes.
"By cramming as many souls into one body as possible. They took one hundred children and tried to fuse them together in groups of five. We are the only survivors." Index replies and Kamijou lets go of her hand and rushes over to a bin before throwing up violently.
(Ninety-Five people died…because of me…)
"Why did you live?" Professor Ozpin asks, Kamijou sends the Headmaster a glare.
(Could you be any more insensitive!)
Index however for some odd reason thinks it's a completely valid question.
"That is because there are six souls in this body. I died the exact moment Index's group was fused together. With Index's body being the main body due to its amount of Aura. For some reason the fusion sucked in my soul and trapped me in as well, that's what stabilised the fusion I think." She explains and Kamijou looks fascinated. She must be the oldest personality.
"That explains the massive amount of Aura I can feel from you." Professor Ozpin comments. He looks to be deep in thought.
"Why was it so important for you to find this Kamijou?" Kamijou asks.
"Do you always speak about yourself in third person?" Index asks her mouth twitching upwards in amusement.
Kamijou blushes in embarrassment. "It's just something I do every now and then. Don't know why I do it, but I do." He explains with a shrug.
"How cute." The silver haired girl comments in amusement. "Basically Academy City fears your potential, your ability to deny the world around you and make your delusions into everyone else's reality."
"So who are you?" Professor Goodwitch asks.
Kamijou finds himself pondering this question too. All of the girls he's met so far have introduced themselves as Index and yet he can't be sure any of them are the 'true' Index. Who even is the true Index? Is there even a true Index?
(Are they all Index?)
He can't tell what the answer is but he hopes to find out by getting to know the girl/girls before him.
(This is weird.)
"I don't know. I mean as soon as we all fused we became sort of blank slates. We don't even know this body's name. We assume we are called Index because of the name of the project." Index replies to the blonde's question. "I mean we have different likes and dislikes and we sort of know what our semblances do but we can't remember much about ourselves before the experiment."
He can't imagine not knowing who he is or who he used to be. It must be terrifying, feeling like a fake in your own body.
Silence. After Index's explanation everyone is silent as they try to absorb and make sense of everything they just learned. However soon Ozpin speaks up.
"Well isn't this rather convenient?" Ozpin muses to himself. "I believe it is best if Index stays with you and your team. Ah yes. You do not know who's team you are on, right?"
Kamijou nods. He feels his heart pounding in anticipation.
BADUMP
"Kamijou Touma, I would like to officially welcome you to Beacon."
BADUMP
"Considering Index is now in your custody I believe your team name works even better now. Taking the M from either Mikoto or Misaka, the I from Index, the S from Shirai and the T from Touma."
BADUMP
"You four promising students now make up team MIST."
(I've done it!)
All the stress from today slowly seeps out of him as he realises that for once in his life his luck hasn't ruined everything for him.
(Team Mist huh?)
And then he comes to the sudden realisation that he's on a team with two different types of crazy. The battle loving maniac Misaka Mikoto and the one obsessed with said maniac; Shirai Kuroko.
He suddenly collapses to his knees, surprising Index. "SUCH MISFORTUNE!" He yells from the bottom of his heart. Professor Ozpin takes a sip from his mug ignoring him entirely, Professor Goodwitch just stares blankly at him while Index laughs loudly at him.
(Kamijou Touma)
"...And so Index here will be joining your team." Professor Goodwitch says after a long explanation. Although they explained that she had escaped from some bad guys and was seeking out Kamijou, they hand-waved away any questions by coming up with the lie that she was a distant relative of his who knew of him.
However Kamijou realises rather suddenly that there isn't much room for privacy in the dorms. The dorms include three rooms. The bathrooms with their own bathtubs. The kitchen area includes a table and chairs and the bedroom. The bedroom has four beds in each corner with doors on each side. The one on the left is the bathroom door and the one on the right is the kitchen door.
Knowing his rotten luck this is going to end up with him eating dirt.
"So…Is there another place I could sleep?" Kamijou asks suddenly.
Everyone in the room turns to look at him.
"Why? Is there something not to your liking, Mr. Kamijou?" She asks as she adjusts her glasses and Kamijou gulps.
"I mean who thinks it's a good idea to put four teenagers of different genders in the same room?" Kamijou replies.
While Kamijou definitely has a type of girl he's interested in he has to admit everyone in this team of theirs is attractive in their own way. Despite being as flat as a board and battle obsessed Misaka can seem to be the 'cool and dependable' type when it matters. Plus she's incredibly strong and he knows that some people are into that.
He doesn't know much about Shirai's personality to comment on that but he does know that the way her eyes shine when she's talking to Misaka is incredibly adorable and he can tell exactly why.
(Good luck Shirai.)
He hopes that she succeeds in her not so hidden quest to win Biri-Biri's heart. Oh how he wishes to have someone like that…someone that he could talk to and feel all warm and tingly inside.
His mind goes fuzzy for a moment and he briefly swears he can see a golden blonde talking to him. And then the image is gone and he feels his head begin to throb.
(What was I just thinking about?)
Oh, yeah he was thinking about what makes his new teammates attractive.
He's not willing to comment on Index. Aside from the fact that she's just incredibly cute when she smiles, he feels uncomfortable thinking about her in any way other than as a little sister. He doesn't even deserve to think of her at all really. He can't help but wonder what her life would be like if he didn't exist.
"Ozpin believes that if we think you are mature enough to go out slaughtering monsters and protecting people then you are mature enough to not do anything…sexual…" She explains looking very uncomfortable.
Misaka turns bright red and becomes a stuttering mess. Clearly she didn't even consider something like this happening. Shirai looks slightly less red than Misaka and even this Kamijou can tell what she's imagining as she giggles while looking at Misaka. However not even a second later he feels a kunai pressed against his neck.
"Touch my Onee-Sama in any way and you are dead…got it?" Shirai asks him threateningly and he gulps.
"Got it." He confirms.
"Good." She says before teleporting over to the still broken Misaka and hugging her left arm. "Don't worry Onee-Sama I won't let the Ape touch you."
Shirai goes to grope Biri-Biri's chest.
ZAP!
His hair becomes even more spiky as everyone in the room is electrocuted.
(What rotten luck.)
He sighs.
(Kamijou Touma)
After a lecture from Professor Goodwitch, team Mist decides to unpack their belongings. By the time everyone is settled and unpacked it is around 10 PM.
"Now that's done…" Biri-Biri says "It's time to battle!" She exclaims pointing at him.
(What is this…Are we in a Pokemon game now?)
He sighs, he had hoped she'd forgotten his promise.
"Fine." He accepts her challenge.
They walk outside and find a patch of grass. Index stood to the side with Shirai to referee the match.
"So what are the terms of our match?" He asks as he takes off his hoodie revealing a white T-shirt. He tosses the hoodie to Index who catches it before looking at him in confusion.
"It's my favourite hoodie. Don't want it to get damaged." He explains to the white haired girl who nods. He wonders briefly who is in control at the moment.
"No dust, no weapons. Just semblances and hand to hand combat." Misaka replies to his question about the rules of the match.
"What do I get for winning?" Kamijou asks as he begins to stretch.
"What do you mean?" The level five replies.
(She doesn't seriously think I'm fighting her because I want to…Right?)
"I mean if you win surely you want something from me. Like I suppose you could tell me to stop calling you Biri-Biri or whatever." He elaborates.
"How dare you demand a reward from my Onee-Sama!" Shirai exclaims.
However Misaka despite her friend's displeasure towards his offer seems quite ready to accept.
"I suppose we could do that." She agrees before announcing the reward for winning the match. "Whoever wins the match can order the loser to do any one thing and they have to agree."
Kamijou's jaw drops almost at the same time as Shirai. Index tilts her head cutely in confusion.
(Anything…Anything at all…)
He shakes his head to rid himself of any dirty thoughts.
(Think of the big boobed dorm managers Kamijou. You can do this…no need to be a pervert.)
However, thinking about his ideal type only makes things worse and Kamijou has to admit to himself that he is a pervert.
Misaka realising how what she said could be used turns bright red and stutters out. "N-Nothing lewd okay!" She turns her head to the side to avoid looking at the spiky haired boy in front of her.
(Okay that was adorable.)
"Let's do this then!" He exclaims feeling rather excited. A girl coming from such a prestigious school surely knows how to cook…right?
Maybe he could get a home cooked meal or something.
After Shirai comes back to her senses she begins to count down from three. "Three…"
Kamijou stops stretching and lazily looks towards Misaka who has just finished stretching too.
"Two…"
He sees Misaka begin to charge her electricity.
"One…"
His eyes harden as he gets ready to charge forward.
"Go!"
BANG!
A full force railgun charges towards him. He pushes his right hand out to meet the Electromasters attack head on.
"Haaahhhh!" He groans at the effort it takes to hold back the railgun before the sound of shattering glass is heard.
Shatter!
Misaka charges forward using her electricity to increase her speed. She brings her foot down on his head with incredible force.
(Fuck!)
His head feels like it's just been hit by a metal ball falling onto it. How does he know how that feels you may ask? Leave that up to your imagination.
She fires a spear of electricity towards him.
Shatter!
His right hand stops any hopes of the attack reaching him.
"As I thought, shocks won't work on you." The Electro master muses to herself. This was the massive downside to his ability…the more someone knows about it the harder it is to use.
"Go! Kick his ass Onee-Sama!" Shirai cheers from the side.
His right hand instinctively moves to his face where he catches a superpowered punch from Misaka.
Shatter!
The Electricity surrounding the fighting addict dissipates as the sound of shattering glass is heard. Misaka's eyes widened. She never could have anticipated how odd it would feel to have no Aura.
"Gah!" He chokes out as he feels a roundhouse kick impact his side.
(I should have expected this from Biri-Biri, she's not just her semblance…she's smart too.)
She jumps back and smirks at him as he feels a shiver down his spine, almost as if 'Imagine breaker' is telling him something.
Black particles of some sort begin to swirl around on the ground as Misaka fires a continuous current of electricity into the ground. It gathers in her hand and slowly forms a bladed weapon.
"Woah…Hey now isn't that against the rules!" He exclaims in frustration before pointing at the bladed weapon in alarm.
"Not if it's made with my ability it isn't" Misaka replies smugly.
(Dammit she's got a point.)
"The iron sand vibrates making it sort of like a chainsaw. Fair warning, it might hurt a bit if it touches you." She warns the nervous teen in front of her.
His eyes widen and all of his senses scream one thing.
Danger.
"I'm really not comfortable with this. Could you please put that thing away?" He asks, raising his hands in a surrendering motion while backing away.
"You've got this Onee-Sama!" He can hear Shirai cheer in the background.
"Nope." Misaka replies, popping the P. She charges forward swinging at the misfortunate boy as he ducks, rolls and dodges the barrage of slashing attacks coming for him.
He scrambles to his feet after rolling away from another attack and begins running away from the bloodthirsty girl behind him. The hairs on the back of his neck stand up as he hears a zapping sound. His right hand instinctively grasped the attack to negate it.
Shatter!
He hears a faint buzzing sound and he turns around just in time to see Misaka about to punch him in the back. His hand reaches out and negates her attack.
Thud!
The two of them tumble to the ground with Misaka on top of Kamijou, her face mere inches away from his own. He can feel her breath on him and he can tell she's feeling his breath on her.
He can faintly hear the outraged cry of Shirai as she momentarily forgets her semblance and rushes over to separate the two. Index is grinning and looks ready to tease him.
However none of that matters as he looks into her brown eyes. His heart is beating in his chest and he can't help but wonder why his body is reacting in such a way to an immature, combat-loving and violent teenager.
"AAaaahhhhhh!" Biri-Biri squeaks in embarrassment and he can hear the crackling of electricity before everything goes dark.
So I suppose that's another chapter down. I haven't really checked the comments on FFN since I posted chapter 1 there but I do plan to respond to comments from over there next chapter.
Next chapter will probably be a semi-canon filler chapter that's set during christmas and won't be anywhere near as long to make up for the wait. Maybe 1-2 thousand words or so just for fun.
My plan is also to run two Toaru fics that focus on different crossovers so what other crossover should I do? I mean I think It'd be cool to do a Toaru X Spider-Man crossover with Touma becoming Spider-Man but I'm not sure.
There is a lot of potential with that one. Mainly because I'm a massive Rogue fan and Touma X Rogue sounds fun in theory. Plus he can negate powers so…cuddles!
Anyway that's chapter two down and I hope you enjoyed it.
