Chapter 19: Akise's Revelation
7/13
10:50 AM
Yukiteru was walking through the forest taking his mind off of things and with Yuno's permission he was able to go alone for a while.
Yukiteru's POV.
"After the funeral that was held for my parents. I decided to move forward even though their deaths will haunt me for a while. I must see through this game until the end, I believe my parents would've wanted that. Plus they sacrificed themselves for me, I won't let it be for nothing." He held his left hand flashing images of how he used them to spill the blood of a security that murdered his family. He was also puzzled that the goblins were there to save him. "Now that I think about it, was that Goblin girl Selena there?"
Yuno's smiling face popped into his head. "Yuno...the girl that's been stalking for a year was insane. But, her timing was on so were Accelerator, Aiho, and Kikyou, they saved my life." He smiled. "Mom...dad...I won't let your sacrifice be in vain. I know our promise can't come true but perhaps in your place, I'll take Yuno that way...you see us from heaven...watching down on Yuno and I watching the stars." Tears began to form in his eyes but he quickly wiped them away. "I can't cry...I need to save it." A quick thought came to his mind. "If Yuno and I end up being the only ones left in the game, we might..." The thought of slaying Yuno was a sight that could happen, rather, he knew what could happen. "Damn it, could I find a way to win without spilling Yuno's blood."
rustle rustle
Yukiteru turned his attention to the sound of the rustling in the bushes. Nothing happened for a few seconds. "Must've been a squirrel or something," He continued to walk ahead on the trail. "Once, I'm done here, I'll need to find some way to show my gratitude toward Touma and the others for standing up for me and protecting me. I just wish I find a way to repay them."
Suddenly three feral dog-like humanoids lunged out of the brush and pinned him to the ground. "Hey, what the hell!?" He shouted as he struggled to get loose but the large dog monsters wouldn't let go. "Damn it...help me, Yuno, Touma, anyone!" He screamed as his mouth was gagged by a cloth.
"So, this Yukiteru Amano..." A strange cloaked figure was seen looking down on him.
"Yep, the little wussy..." Vector approached with a sadist smile on his face.
Yukiteru wasn't able to see the stranger's face due to the cloaked hoodie but he was able to see Vector. "Vector, why is he here?"
"Make sure he isn't found..." The stranger walked away.
One of the dog creatures kicked Yuki in the face knocking him out and shortly after, he was dropped in a big river with a chain with an iron ball attached to his left ankle.
Splash
Vector was watching this. "See you in hell...1st..." He snickered coldly and walked away with the feral dog beasts.
Yukiteru began to sink into the bottom and struggled to get loose but the iron ball attached to his ankle wasn't making it easy. "Damn it..." He thought as he wondered if he could get his cell phone, but he attempted to take it out of his jacket's pocket, it was gone. "No...where is it?" His vision became blurry feeling his consciousness fading away. "Ugh...Yuno...Touma...everyone...I'm sorry..."
As his vision grew more blurry, a mysterious figure was seen swimming toward him and soon everything became black.
In a random apartment
11:35 AM
Mrs. Kurusu and her son were at their apartment room having breakfast. "Son, how are you feeling this morning?"
"I'm fine than ever," Yoi beamed happily.
Mrs. Kurusu was happy to see her son was healthy as he was before. "Thanks to Yuki and his friends my son is cured. I wish Keigo was here to enjoy this breakfast with us." She looked at the ceiling. "I'll never forget Touma's friend Orsola, she was true angel."
Knock Knock
"Who could that be?" Mrs. Kurusu asked as she was about to get up until the door was forced down startling her and her son.
"Mother..." Yoi whimpered frightenedly.
"Who are you breaking into our apartment!?" Mrs. Kurusu took out a knife and pointed it at the stranger.
A faint smile was shown through the stranger's hood. "Time to die..." In a split second two gunshots were fired and blood spilled on the kitchen table and nearby was a small teddy bear.
12:05 PM
In a small motel
Yuno was in the living wearing a bra and panties. "Yuki...I hope he comes here soon, I got a surprise for him." She began to wonder about Yuki's mental state. "Sugar bear, I hope he doesn't let his parent's death get the best of him." A part of her was surprised that the boy she loved was able to move forward despite the painful experience he just went through. "Mr and Ms. Amano..." Her images of her parents smiling at her and welcoming her into their family began to flash in her mind. "Damn it...why am I thinking about this?"
Knock Knock
Yuno went to the door. "Oh, he's here!" She opened the door was Yukiteru. "Oh, my darling!" She embraced him surprising him and pulled back swaying her hips. "Well, how do I look?"
Yukiteru smiled a little. "You look...hot...anyway, let's discuss the plan to find the details about the 11th."
"Right..." Yuno nodded.
7/15
At the apartment where the Academy City students were at.
Last Order was being looked after by Kikyou, Orsola, Index, and Kanzaki.
Orsola was making some tea. "To think Yuki's parents are gone," Kanzaki spoke.
"Yeah, they were such good parents that were going through..." Index choked unable to find the words as tears were forming in her eyes. "Ms. Amano was a great cook, Yuki would say she's quite picky when it comes to food."
"It's not fair that Yuki's parents had to die! Misaka Misaka cries stabbing her eyes with a handkerchief!" Last Order chanted holding a tissue to her eye.
Kanzaki embraced the little nun. "I know it hurts, believe I lost someone too." She was referring to losing Index's memory of her and Styli knowing the pain that she and her friend went through on that fateful night.
Kikyou stood up from her seat. "Even so, we must move forward and keep fighting. For Yuki's sake as well as his parents."
"Anyway, how are the others?" Index asked.
Orsola looked down at the floor for a minute before looking at the other nun. "I'm sure they're taking it hard as we are. But, they know they have to stay strong for Yuki's sake."
At the Unusato Middle School
10:05 AM Class 2-C
Touma, Misaka, and Motoharu were in class taking in the events of what happened the last two days.
Misaka looked at the empty seat where Yukiteru sat. "Damn it, where is that idiot?" She began to wonder if the 1st diary user split or something.
Touma clenched his hands impatiently. "Damn it, why hasn't Yuki contacted us yet?"
"Easy you two, I understand Yuki's unable to contact us is strange but we have to keep the faith that he's fine," Tsuchimikado advised.
In another class
Uiharu, Saten, Accelerator, Kuroko, and Misaki both just joined the class.
The guys were on their lunch break as the other classes were too.
"Man, I hope Yuki is doing alright," Saten sighed.
"The wussy lost his parents, it's not surprising the idiot hasn't contacted us yet," Accelerator scoffed.
"C'mon, can't you just try to show a little concern once and a while?" Uiharu scolded.
"Shut up, shrimp," Accelerator grumbled.
Uiharu felt offended. "What'd you say to me?"
"Easy you two, we can't start fighting among each other," Kuroko warned.
"Pigtails is right, we must be prepared for the next battle," Misaki agreed.
"Even so, Yuki's absence concerns me," Uiharu said sadly.
"I know that Yuki is moving on...but, we know he can get upset easily," Saten commented.
"Keep the faith, that's all we do," Kuroko advised as she got a message from Aiho. "It's Aiho, she left a message that she's in the meeting with the police vice-chief."
Misaki got intrigued by this. "Is that so, what for?"
"Not sure, but the meeting that is happening has some kind of connections with some city meeting that the mayor is holding up," Kuroko said holding her cellphone that had an article about a city meeting.
"This should be interesting," Misaki said with a sly grin.
Science Class
Vivian was cleaning up her school supplies. "To think I had to teach these stupid humans some lessons." She scoffed coldly.
1:55 PM
Sakurami City Hall
In the large conference room.
"Greetings gentlemen!" There was a tall man with a bald head and glasses. "Now, let's get this party started!"
After he announced the reason for the meeting and what had to be done, everyone was left speechless.
A man stood up from his seat looking totally perplexed and upset. "Mr. Mayor, you can't be serious about demolishing the orphanage!? Doing so would cause the children to be on the streets not to mention the media will rip us apart!"
There was truth to the man's words which made the mayor silent for a second until tears poured down his cheeks. "Yes, I know I'm aware that those poor children will have to be on the streets!" He sobbed. "My heart goes out to those poor young ones!" He placed his hand on his heart seemingly calming down. "But, as you know there were suspects in that orphanage for the destruction of Sakurami Tower!"
The staff knew that was the case. "I do not believe such a place is totally without problems but it's only suspicion isn't it...it will be too late to react once our suspicions are confirmed! In other words, the children of this city mean everything to me as if they were my own! But, the children at the orphanage are no expectation!"
A serious look was seen on the mayor's face. "Are you gentlemen thinking of letting those kids fall victim to the political red tape?"
John wiped the tears from his eyes. "Therefore, I wish to move the children temporarily to a hospital minimizing any adverse influence as much as possible! I don't know what goes through the mind of anyone who would think to oppose this movement! If you have any objections, I won't blame to hear you out right now!"
No one said a word confirming the mayor's answer. "Good...let's move then..."
On the far side of the room was another old man with brown hair and a long beard. He wore a uniform.
Honest
Supervisor of the Mayor's Office
Age:55
"Keep that act up...because your time will become..." A wicked smile was shown on his face. "Thanks to Vector, my dream shall become a reality."
4.00 PM
Thirty-eight great cathedrals of casualty
DEUS decided to gather the Diary User for an emergency meeting. So far, Yuki and Yuno didn't show up.
"So, you removed 1st and 2nd from the game?" Minene asked.
"Yes..." The cloaked bald man replied. "It's been a few days since they vanished from sight and they haven't come to this gathering either. It would be safe to assume they decided to leave the game or have them excluded for good."
Minene was gathering her thoughts about this. "I heard from Akise that Yuki's parents were killed by security guards. Not only that, Nishijima's information, the Mother's Home is in a desperate situation. Seems that 11th is doing what he can to eliminate the three Diary Users in one swoop. What kind of man is he?"
"Hold it!" A voice called out which got the other's attention.
"Forgive me for being tardy but something came up," There was Yuki holding Yuno close to him. 1st looked in 11th's direction. "Good evening, 11th, or should I say...Mayor of Sakurami!"
There was tension in the air after hearing that revelation. Minene wasn't expecting this.
"Ahahahahaha...did you think I was going to let my parent's death get me that hard?" Yukiteru laughed like a badass. "Thanks to some resources of mine and the information I was able to gather, I went to a certain place..."
DEUS could see the identities of the Diary users have been exposed. "Since the identities of all have been exposed. I shall dictate that your face shouldn't be hidden anymore!"
The dark shroud that was cast on the Diary user was erased revealing their true identities.
John was curious about the 1st diary user's work. "Tell me kid...how did you uncover my identity?"
"My friend Uiharu was able to put some pieces on who my father was talking to. Not to mention the meeting that was broadcasted to the city which was today. My father's details weren't much, but my friends were able to figure out to confirm the details." Yukiteru explained. "That place was the town hall lobby where all Sakuramishi's information is collected because my indifferent Diary predicts everything around me. By just being in the lobby, I gathered a vast amount of future information."
"I see...your friends seem smarter than I thought," John commented with a rough look. "And I get the feeling you have more to say."
"You got that right, you old geezer. Your meeting was that you figured out who the Diary users were at Mother's House. So you just realized there could be more of them so you had their home dismantled so you could lure them out into the open."
Kamada glanced at the mayor in realization and this gave her an idea.
"I have one more thing to say. I would have to guess that the media including the other part of the town hall didn't like your proposal about destroying Mother's Home, so you must've guilted them into doing so without them questioning anything further." Yukiteru concluded.
His statement made John flinch for a second but chuckled like he was impressed.
"Now then, I shall go..." Yukiteru was about to leave when Kamada called out to him. "Wait!"
Everyone including Yuki and Yuno turned to look at the eighth diary user. "I have a request for you, 1st." Hearing that made Yuki give her a questionable look.
"I'm listening..."
Back at the small motel.
"Yuno, did I look like a badass?" Yukiteru asked eagerly.
Yuno spread her arms apart with admiration. "Oh, you were perfect! Like someone out of a movie!"
Yukiteru took a few sheets of paper. "You put in a good script, all thanks to you." Hearing that praise made Yuno's face beet red and steam emit from her head. "T-thank...but, I just did it to help Yukki...besides that I just we've yet to overcome 11th's objective."
"Yes, I believe it was to steal 8th's multiplication Diary," Yuki said surprising Yuno. "I do believe you were thinking the same thing."
Yuno was astonished that her crush was able to figure it out before she put her own words. "Anyway, did you call Touma about 8th's request?"
"Yeah, I did, Touma seemed to have agreed and he's planning to meet her with a few of his friends sometime tomorrow morning and the others will remain with Aiho and Kikyou," Yukiteru replied.
Yuno began to undress herself surprising Yuki as he covered his eyes. "I'm sure you also know that Mother's Home expenses came from the city. That includes the server's maintenance fees. If you demolished Mother's home, all the facilities would come back to the city, right?"
"Exactly, he would need to increase his forces as much as 8th would," Yukiteru theorized.
Yuno was more surprised that Yuki was thinking more than he was before, but she brushed it off and got a message on her cell phone. "Oh, Uiharu texted me about something important."
"What is it?" Yukiteru asked.
7/16
11:30 AM
At the Sakurami City Police Station.
Aiho, Kikyou, Misaki, Uiharu, Saten, Orsola, Tsuchimikado, and Accelerator had a meeting in the conference room.
"Guys I got some important announcement to make," Aiho said looking troubled. "Nishjima told me that he and I would be on guard duty for the mayor."
"Wait, so, you have to guard that bald bastard's hid?" Accelerator questioned coldly.
"No...I told them I wasn't guarding someone like the mayor," Aiho had a disgusted look. "Someone that puts children like that on the street makes me sick."
Saten was surprised to see Aiho like this. "Aiho..."
"She means to say that Aiho got into an argument with the vice chief after she refused so they decided to pull her off the mission," Kikyou informed.
"Wait, what about Nishjima?" Uiharu asked.
"The inspector is going on the guard duty," Tsuchimikado answered with his arms crossed. "That said, he went into the city to do something."
"Whatever that inspector idiot is doing is none of our business," Accelerator remarked. "For now, we need to focus on those monsters, no doubt, they'll make a move."
Aiho nodded. "Right, so, here's the plan, I will remain here with Kikyou. Uiharu, Saten, Orsola, you three will remain here with us."
The two middle school girls nodded their heads.
"As for me...the handsome one second to Touma,' Tsuchimikado boasted with a smirk. "Touma, Misaka, Kanzaki, Itsuwa, Index, and I will help assist in taking down 11th."
"Misaki, you and Kuroko investigate Akise's whereabouts and keep an eye on Tsubaki, I get the feeling that she's up to something too," He continued.
12:00 PM
A Certain Terrace Cafe in Sakuramishi
Nishjima was overwhelmed with shock after Minene revealed to him the identity of the 11th. "What was that?!"
Minene took a sip of her coffee. "You heard me officer, 11th is John Bacchus, the mayor of Sakurami City. It would seem 1st and 2nd are gunning for him."
"Speaking of, how is Aiho?" Minene asked.
Nishijima had a distressed look on his face which the terrorist noticed. "Hey, what's with that look?"
"First off, I got orders to be guarding the mayor and Aiho went against the idea, but she got pulled off the mission," Nishijima answered looking away.
"Pwah!" Minene coughed out her drink taken by surprise and a smirk was shown on her face. "Isn't that an unexpected turn, where is Aiho now?"
"Not sure, she and some of the girls are remaining at the station. As for Tsuchimikado, he left the station and vanished without giving me a call." Nishijima replied still looking away.
"Wow, no doubt, that Kamijou and his buddies will be going after 11th too," Minene taunted with a snark.
Nishjima didn't find this funny. "Enough with the snark comments, this is no laughing matter."
"Fine, then, what about the investigation on the 2nd, did you need me to start poking around again?" Minene asked putting a cracker in her mouth.
Nishijima took two photos of a man and a woman placing them on the table. "The identification results for the two adult corpses were known as Ushio and Saika Gasai. It seems they are from an elite bank family."
"Wow, I guess that explains the fancy house that 2nd lives in," Minene joked. "What about the third corpse?"
Nishjima had an unsure look. "Well, we haven't gotten the details yet, but, I learned that Yuno's parents were desperate to have kids."
That detail seemingly puzzled Minene. "Wait, does that mean...?"
"Akise is currently heading over there to find out the situation." Nishjima quickly interrupted with an unsure look. "As for Tsubaki, she's gathering more information on 11th's whereabouts."
"Well, Akise and 6th working together, wonder if those two will be an item," Minene remarked almost joking.
Nishijima ignored that and had one more thing to say. "To answer your question, I'm not sure if the third corpse is related to the Yuno Gasai we know now." Just then his cell phone rang and he answered it. "Hi, inspector, Nishijima here." A few seconds a look of distraught took place on the inspector's face. "What...oh my god..."
Minene was showing some concern hearing that tone. "What is it?"
B
At the Sakurami Police Station.
Misaki was walking in the hallway taking a look at her cell phone. "Looks like Touma and his group are probably meeting up with 8th by now." She was looking at the text from her cellphone that she got from Misaka. "Well, I hope the prince manages his position." She walked past the break room where some police station employees were taking a break. "Hey, where is Akise..." Hearing that made Misaki stop but quietly.
"He went to an orphanage to check some details on that psycho girl Yuno,"
"You don't say, why, does he wonder that Yuno is his lost sister."
"C'mon, give Aru some credit, he's a smart kid,"
Misaki sneaky by the doorway with a curiosity. "The orphanage...wait, Yuno is an orphan...what does this have to do with the investigation on her?" She figured the Akise was up to something so she decided to eavesdrop more and took out a remote out of her purse.
"What do you think Akise is hoping to gain to find at this orphanage?"
"Probably whatever secret that crazy bitch Yuno is hiding. Either that or he just hopes that Yuki will realize how insane Yuno is."
Misaki got intrigued a little more but one thing didn't surprise me. "Akise does like Yukiteru more than I heard...but, would Yukiteru still leave Yuno if Aru did prove something?" She knew she would have to get more details so she decided to act natural. "Excuse me, whoever is in there, could you help me?"
"It's Misaki!" One of the officers stood up as the young supermodel blonde Esper winked playfully at the two officers. "Hello boys, could you ask me a few questions," She hid the remote behind her back and pressed a button that seemingly hypnotized the two men.
"S-sure...anything you ask, we'll give a full answer," The second officer answered.
On a nearby mountain next to a county road.
Yukiteru decided to go over the plan, Taro just stared at him suspiciously but let the first diary user speak. "In order to shake off your distrust...you can utilize your Diary's ability," Yukiteru said noticing the distrustful look on Tarou's face.
"Now, according to the union of those known as 1st, 2nd, and 8th. The assault the 11th plan!"
Tsuchimikado observed the dirt drawing. "Yes, Yuki will calculate the timing for stopping 11th's movements with his indifference Diary...and kill the vanguards who lay down tear gas."
"Just in case, 11th tries anything, Misaka will use her Railgun ability to destroy 11th's vehicle, but don't release too much power just enough to fry the engine," Touma added.
Misaka smirked. "Got on me..."
"As for Orin, she and other children will attack with her as the leader." Yukiteru proclaimed staring at the short teenage girl.
"Taro, Touma, and Kanzaki will be guarding 8th...as Taa-kun will be keeping an eye on me and my friends..." Yukiteru finished. "Your Diary can copy other Diary powers use it to copy Yuno's Diary now and it will have the same abilities as the Yukiteru Diary'..."
"So, that's Taro's Diary ability, impressive," Tsuchimikado praised with a grin.
Touma was pumping up his arm.
"Speaking of, where is that old buddy of yours Vector?" Kanzaki asked.
Taro scoffed but decided to answer. "Don't know, that bastard is one of the monsters and killed Marco and Ai. No doubt, that backstabbing bastard will come after us."
"He's got a point...that said, we don't know who else will show up this time," Touma thought.
After the review of the plan, the gang decided to take a short break.
"Yuki is putting on a brave face...but, he isn't shedding a tear like he used to." Touma thought. "Even that Kurusu's family is gone..."
Misaka was wondering the same thing and was pissed off about the tragic news. "Damn it, we should've been there to protect her..." She clenched her fist. "When I find the bastard that murdered them, I'll make them wish they left the city!"
"Listen up 1st..." Taro called out to the once timid teenage boy with a distrustful look. "If you try anything funny, I'll be sure to know right away!" He then looked at Touma. "As for you, Kamijou...I still don't get what Kamada sees in you and your friends...but, I'm going along with this!"
Touma gave an offended look but didn't say a word.
Shortly after, Orin was handing out some rice balls for an earlier snack.
"Here." Orin handed it to Yuki and Touma. "Don't worry, they aren't poisoned."
The three sat on three separate rocks.
"1st, I don't think you're the sneaky bastard Tarou thinks you are..." Orin began to chow on a rice ball. "I was there when we met at Omekata Temple..."
Touma did remember that. "I'm also impressed that you were able to find out the truth about Tsubaki's parent's death."
"You just call by her name..." Touma said surprisingly.
"Well, as much as I don't want to get too sentimental here, I can understand that Tsubaki went through a nightmare when her parents died and the fact she was raped," Orin said with slight compassion in her eyes. "I'm sure Ai felt the same way, she knew what was like to be raped."
Yukiteru didn't reply as he was still eating.
"Touma...Kamada was impressed by what you accomplished so far, you standing up to Marco and Ai. Tell him about his flaws, from what Tarou described, it was quite impressive. I wish was there to see it and your heroic speeches." Orin said with a faint smile and a slight blush on her cheeks. "Perhaps, if I'm in trouble you can be my prince and sweep me off my...feet."
Touma's face went beet red after hearing that comment. "Uhh...well, I'm a..."
"Touma!" He flinched when he heard the nun's tone. He turned to see Index glaring at him and she wasn't alone, standing beside her was Misaka. Both girls had disturbing auras. "Mind telling me why that girl is giving you that look?"
"Yeah, spit out, you idiot..." Misaka growled.
"Touma began to tremble comically. "W-wait... it's not what you both think...we were just talking..." Orin just stared like it was no big deal.
"I will kill you!" Index bit down on the poor high school boy's head. "Ow, ow, ow, cut that out!"
Kanzaki had a feeling this would happen. "Oh brother..." Although she couldn't help but feel jealous herself.
"Looks like Kami has added another girl to his harem..." Tsuchimikado joked though he was jealous but hiding it.
Kamada's other children along with Taro stared at the unusual scene, three began to whisper among each other.
"I heard Hero Boy has quite the popularity with girls, but, this is more than what Tsuchimikado described."
"I guess he's fighting bad guys isn't his only talent."
"Guess we shouldn't expect less from the boy who stood against Marco and Ai. That includes that girl with the short brown hair."
Taoru didn't say a word but then he heard a faint giggle which was coming from Kamada. "Kamada...what's so funny?"
Kamada ended her giggle and smiled at the long brown-haired teenage boy. "Oh, it's nothing I haven't seen this kind of youth since I was a girl. It's been so long since I've seen this kind of energy." Taoru was astonished which was unlike him, but what struck him the most was seeing a smile like Kamada on her face.
Yukiteru was glancing at Kamada. "I see 8th is a different person from the others."
"Of course, actually the headmaster has never once said she'll become "God"," Orin spoke getting the other's attention as well as Yuki's.
"I figured she seemed like a nice lady what Aiho described of her character," Misaka commented.
"If she isn't fighting to become a God, then who is?" Touma questioned.
"That's easy, we are..." Orin answered with a smile. "We want her to live so she can win and make this world a better place."
"You know that means you'll have to kill Yuki and Yuno including 9th and Tsubaki later on, right?" Touma reminded.
"Assuming that you kill 11th too," Misaka added.
Orin swallowed the rice ball. "I'm aware, to be honest, I was hoping to speak to Tsubaki one last time before that time. I did consider her a friend for a while but she would be my enemy later on. I'm sure Ai felt the same way."
"Anyway, enough talk," Orin stood up. "Let's start..."
Yukiteru didn't crack a smile instead he nodded. "Right..."
Tsuchimikado noticed Yukiteru's unusually calm behavior. "Something is funny about Yuki."
Yuno was behind some bushes looking toward a road with a pair of binoculars. After a minute, a fancy vehicle was driving by and another car was following behind. Seeing that was her cue, she took out a small mirror and reflected the sun's light.
Yukiteru saw this and turned to Kamada's group. Among them were Orin and Taro holding their cell phones.
"Alright, that's the signal...guys be ready!" Yukiteru stated.
On the road, Nishijima was driving the mayor in his vehicle. He had a lot on his mind but one thing.
F
He was having a chat with the vice chief. "Are you certain that Kurusu's family is dead?!"
"Yes, the bodies were identified by the neighbors that are familiar with them." The vice-chief replied. "Not sure who the killer was, no witnesses have been found but the the door to their was smashed through and we can concluded the killer jumped from the porch so it seems."
"How can that be, Kurusu's family was high up?" Nishijima questioned in disbelief.
"We're trying to figure that out, but, for now, we'll keep looking for the culprit."
F
"Damn it...why didn't I have someone look out for them," Nishijima thought looking guilty. Up ahead were two young men by a checkpoint sign. "A checkpoint?" Realization hit him but before he could react he saw several kids sliding down the nearby hill. "AN ATTACK...?"
The mayor's bodyguards were already took out their guns but the children were already shooting them down with pistols.
"GYAAAAAAAA!" A bodyguard screamed in agony after being cut down by Yukiteru wielding a katana.
"Yukiteru!" Nishijima exclaimed in disbelief. "Why is he..."
"Strange, if it's the 1st who snuck into the town hall. I should have foretold this trick." John began to press on a control panel.
"Kei!" There's an enemy in the smoke on your right! Jun pull back!" Orin commanded wearing goggles to help her vision from the tear gas.
Tarou had to admit he was impressed. "Haha...looks like things are going according to plan." He then looked at his Diary. "The 1st hasn't done anything shady...I guess I was worrying for nothing."
Tsuchimikado senses a great danger approaching from behind the trees. "Guys, we got company!"
Itsuwa held her lance. "I sense the danger coming too!"
Tarou turned his head. "Hey, what's going on over there?"
During the distraction, John smiled as he activated a jamming device that appeared from the roof of the vehicle and released a strong ring sound.
Before anyone realized it, their cell phones were jammed with no connection. "Crap, what just happened?" Tarou cursed.
"It seems that old geezer used a jamming signal," Touma said checking his cellphone. "Damn it, we should've brought Last Order here."
"HISSSS!" Four velociraptors came rushing out of the bushes snarling viciously.
"Ahhhh!" One of Kamada's children was mauled on the neck.
Another was pounced on and bitten on the head.
A trail of blood was spilled.
Kamada was in disbelief.
"What are those things?" Orin asked in fear.
"Hey, you guys need to retreat, these dinosaurs are too much for you!" Misaka advised.
"She's right, you guys need to retreat and get Kamada out of here!" Touma agreed.
"Like hell, you will!" Yukiteru slashed one of the other children.
"Yuki!" Touma shouted in shock.
Yukiteru ignored the other boy and kept slaying another of Kamada's children. "What the hell are you doing?"
Yuno went toward Orin with a strange look on her face. "Kill..." She rushed toward them with the katana sword. "Orin!"
Itsuwa used her lance to block Yuno's blade just in time. "Orin, run, get Taoru and the others out of here!"
"She's right, please, we don't know why Yuki and Yuno are doing this!" Touma pleaded. "But, we had no idea about this!"
Tarou wasn't buying this. "Like hell, I'm going to believe you liars!" He then turned to Kamada. "Kamada, get out of here now, save yourself!"
Orin was about to react when one of the raptors approached her and whip her with its tail knocking her out. "Orin!" Tarou yelled in shock.
Kamada had tears pouring down her eyes and retreated onto the road.
Seeing Kamada, Nishijima opened his door. "Get in the car, the doors are open!" Kamada having no choice got inside the back and looked in the direction where her kids. "Touma...take care of Tarou and Orin."
"Aw...trouble in paradise..." There was a Vector approaching from the bushes.
"To think that 1st would get his hands dirty, didn't think he had it in him," Yoshino was in his true form. "I will enjoy tearing you all to pieces."
"Vector, why are you here?" Taro demanded angrily.
"Not even a "hello"...I should've expected this." Vector chuckled with a creepy grin. "To answer your question, I'm here to take your life as well as Kamada."
"Same goes for me, I'm going to enjoy this," Yoshino snarled bearing his teeth.
Tsuchimikado had a calm look as he was looking at his cell phone. "Looks like Aiho is on her way here, good timing."
"Where is Yuki and Yuno!" Misaka asked as she slashed down one of the raptors.
Itsuwa noticed the two diary users hijacking one of the vehicles. "There they go!"
"We'll follow them later, we have more pressing matters," Index called out.
"Damn it, what are Yuki and Yuno thinking?" Touma cursed.
"What should we do now?" Misaka asked.
"The only answer is for you to fight us," Vector transformed into his demon form and the remaining raptors stood by him.
"I have time no for this..." Tarou grumbled. "Orin, are you awake?"
He saw Itsuwa carrying Orin on her back. "She's unconscious right now..." Itsuwa approached the long-haired teenage boy and turned around. "Here, look after her and stand back, leave these guys to us."
Tarou sneered at the girl. "Why should I believe you and the others?"
"You don't have a choice!" Index interrupted. "If you run off, there could be other enemies lurking in the woods, without us, you or Orin won't survive!"
Before Tarou could argue further, he saw Itsuwa giving him a hard look. "Look, I know you're upset that your friends have been killed. I don't blame you for being suspicious, but right now, you and Orin need our help and without us, you both won't survive!"
Touma had his wordy to say. "Taro, listen to us, you need to stay close but keep Orin safe. She needs you and you know it! So, for now, stay back our ride will be here in a few minutes." Taro was still unsure whether to trust the Academy City high school boy but he knew he had to be sure that Kamada would survive too. "Very well, but, you try anything and I'll kill you."
Touma pulled back his right arm. "Misaka, I want you to tag with me so we both take on Vector together." Misaka was surprised by this request. "What did you say?"
"C'mon, you and I will be fighting against Vector together. Itsuwa, keep Index safe, Tsuchimikado take on the raptors!"
"Understood!" The four teenagers said.
"Attack!" Vector proclaimed as the raptors charged.
Touma and Misaka rushed at the demon Vector.
Tsuchimikado took out two twin pistols.
Bang Bang
He managed to shoot down two raptors in the head.
Three remained left.
Itsuwa was preparing to fight two of the raptors.
One opened its mouth and released a flame breath. "Look out!" Itsuwa jumped out of the way as she and Index fell over.
"Damn it, one of them can breath fire!" Index exclaimed.
Yukiteru was driving the car. "Here keep an eye on the Diary while I drive."
"Right..." Yuno said as she took a peek at Yuki's cell phone. "Hmm, it looks like we have the advantage, after I shoot out their tires, we can finish them off."
"Good..."
Yuno then caught a glimpse of something else that she saw in the entry. "At 16:40, Akise suddenly appeared. He seems to understand the identity behind the third corpse. According to Akise, that corpse's true identity is..." Yuno's face grew tense and felt concern wash through her mind.
Meanwhile
Misaka's Children's Orphanage.
Akise just arrived and went inside.
F
5 hours before in the smoking room.
"The Misaka's Children's Home, what do you plan to find there?" Nishijima asked.
"The evidence I want is more than I can say. That said, after getting the results on the two corpses, I have a logical conclusion."
"Which is...?" Nishijima began to say.
"Until I find this other evidence, I can't conclusively say who it was..." Akise began to walk toward the door.
"Are you sure this last evidence is there?" Nishijima questioned as the young detective stopped and glanced at him. "Perhaps..."
F
The headmaster began to talk to Akise while showing a few books and a small box. "Sorry about the wait, but, here are Yuno's belongings."
Akise observed the items. "I see, so, she was a straight student as I heard."
"Yes, always doing her homework. When she was finally adopted, she was so delighted. Not surprising, since she lived her whole life without any parents or siblings." The headlady said holding the small box. "Here, give this to her, she was supposed to have this but I forgot to give it to her when she left."
Akise looked inside and looked excited. "Yes, I'll give this to her."
B
Yuno was looking at the texts of Akise finding out the truth of the third corpse. This put her on a deep edge and worry. "No...how could they've figured out...I was sure there wasn't anything to be tested...if Yukki finds out...he'll...leave me for sure..."
Just then she felt a touch on her shoulder turning her to look at the boy. "Don't worry, we're in this together..." Hearing that made Yuno feel a little better. "I promise not to let you go again, I mean that..." He took hold of her hand which she responded in return.
B
"Lightning Bolt!" Vector threw his arm releasing a blue jolt of lightning.
"Lightning Spear!" Misaka threw a lightning spear.
The two lighting attacks collided as they released a strong explosion due to the force.
"Hahaha...not bad for a little squirt..." Vector taunted.
"Huah!" Touma rushed throwing his right fist.
Vector managed to catch his fist with his bare hand despite feeling the effect of Imagine Breaker. "I'm stronger than you think." He tossed Touma to the side causing them to land hard on his back.
"Touma!" Itsuwa cried.
The raptor was about to release a stream of flames at the girl.
"Scarlet Stone of Pexjarva!" Index chanted.
The raptor began to feel deep pain from its feet to its knees until it was rolling in great pain.
"Got you!" Index cheered.
The raptor went motionless for a minute before it opened its eyes and got back on its feet looking okay. "Uh, how did it get so fast?"
"Never mind that this is not a regular raptor!" Itsuwa was ready to fight back. "I can't distracted otherwise Index will be defenseless."
Kanzaki was fighting against Yoshino. "I will not allow to harm my friends!" She declared sheathing her katana and jumped toward the lizardman.
Yoshino smirked as he swung tail sending her crashing onto the ground. "Kanzaki!" Index called out.
"Don't worry...about me...I'll be fine..." Kanzaki looked up and saw Yoshino holding a large butcher knife.
The priestess saint rolled over just in time before the blade landed its mark leaving a large mark on the ground. "Not bad, you're quick as you look lady."
"My name Kaori Kanzaki...I'm a Saint and the leader of the Amakusa-Style Remix of Church." Kanzaki introduced. "I must warn I ain't no ordinary magician or swordsman."
Yoshino just chuckled. "Is that so, well, I hope you can back up those words." He opened his mouth. "Flame breath..." He released a flame breath at Kanzaki.
Using her speed to evade the flames without getting near. 'I ain't done!" Yoshino moved his flames to where the priestess was running.
"Crap, he's able to change the direction of the flames by moving his head and breathing his flames at the same time!" Kanzaki thought seeing this enemy is clearly strong than she figured. "In that case...Seven Flashes!" Several projectiles were cast at the lizardman. "What?" He felt his arms being cut as blood began to spurt.
Yoshino knelt down on one knee. "Let's try this again...Seven Flashes!" She repeated her attack once more cutting of Yoshino and this time his waist and legs were cut. "I can see that you bleed like any other living being." She commented. "If I must warn that you keep this up you'll nothing but a pile of flesh on the ground."
Yoshino let out a small chuckle. "Heheheheh..." This made Kanzaki look at the lizardman in confusion. "Something amusing to you?"
"I have to admit, I didn't expect someone to posses such power than I thought should've known. Back in my time, some humans were barely strong to cast spells only the true magician casters as well as wizards were capable of casting such magic power." He stood back up surprising Kanzaki. "Most of them were killed in wars or destroyed each other for power and fame."
Kanzaki let out a small gasp. "In fact, maybe one of those wizards or famous magicians were your ancestor." Yoshino looked fine despite the damage he took.
"Wait, your injuries are..." Kanzaki began to say pointing at newly recovered wounds.
"Oh I forgot to mention that I have regeneration powers...its something that my race can do, well some of us can. When I say some of us, I mean some our regeneration abilities take time to heal and the process slows down once we get old. However, mine is more powerful than other lizardman has." Yoshino informed.
Kanzaki gritted her teeth. "Damn it, just when things can't get any worse." She knew she had to be careful, one false move and she could get hurt considering the damage that Yoshino did to Ai. "Even so, I'll keeping fight you...so skip the small talk."
"My thoughts exactly!" Yoshino and Kanzaki rushe at each other with their blades.
"Is that what the ancestor's descendant can do?" Vector mocked looking at the unconscious Touma. "I was hoping for a challenge, but, you're not as tough as I thought when you fought against that dumbass Marco."
"Take this!" Misaka gathered electricity around her and lightning struck down from the sky at Vector.
"Magic Barrier..." Vector chanted in a mumbling tone as a blue-green barrier protected him from being struck.
"Damn it, defense spells." Misaka cursed in frustration. "Yet, it looks just as powerful as the spell that Ai used."
"Don't compare my magic to that dumb bitch Ai," Vector retorted. "I'm more powerful than her and her dumbass boyfriend Marc." He sheathed a dark katana sword. "Now, let's see what my ancestor's descendant's girlfriend can do in a swordplay."
"That idiot isn't my boyfriend!" Misaka barked as she gathered iron from the dirt and the iron took the shape of an iron-like sword.
The two started their swordplay.
Touma was starting to get up. "Damn it, that guy felt the effects of Imagine Breaker, but, he threw me aside like it was nothing." He knew this new enemy was stronger than any other enemy he fought. "I must keep my head in check and find a way to outthink him."
Tsuchimikado was almost down killing the last raptor. "Once I'm finished with this last one, I'll go and help Itsuwa."
Vector and Misaka continued their swordplay as they collided their weapons at each other with fast speed. "Damn it, this is clearly fast...yet I'm still able to keep up with him but for how long..." Misaka thought a little concerned. "No, I can't get worried about that, I have to keep fighting..."
Vector seemed to have noticed the middle school girl's look. "I take it that you're getting worried little girl..." He taunted amusingly. "Afraid, that you're look bad in front of your man."
Misaka ignored the demon's comment and had a question of herself. "Speaking of, what is your history with Touma's ancestor?" Touma was sitting up as he rubbed his head seemingly hearing Misaka's question.
"You want to know that...I suppose there's no reason for me to share his ancestor's history." Vector replied with a smug. "It seems only yesterday...when I met the hero that defeated me but there is more than you don't know."
F
500 years ago.
Vector's POV
Vector and the Demon Kingdom where he ruled as the prince with his loyal servants and soldiers. "Back in my time, I was the prince of the Demons. My people has suffered much discrimination by the hands heartless humans. Despite that there wasn't much struggle back then, once our kind was exposed to humanity. The only thing we got in return was discrimination and being hunted like humans."
Images of humans throwing food and garbage at his people flashed before his eyes the booing and the shouting of disgust and hatred echoed in his mind. "Get out of our land, demon freaks! Yeah, we don't know monsters like you here! Go to the hole you came from!"
"Regardless, their king known as Aradios and his queen Layla had no bad blood toward my people and would always try to put peace between our kind..." Vector continued. "Then, I got to the meet their son the prince...who was just as kind as his parents were...who just was kind. We soon became friends and close like brothers. A few years later, our people soon became friends and was soon it as a peace era between our people would come a reality."
Linebreak.
Vector went silent as Misaka stared at him. "To think that you didn't hate humans as you said, that's unexpected but then again I'm not surprised. I fought some enemies that had their reasons for doing what they did even if it was the wrong way."
Touma was hearing this with a slightly surprised look. "My ancestor were a king and queen, their son was the prince..."
"Sadly...the relationships...between demon and human I thought it would come...it was nothing more than illusion..." Vector growled.
F
"My parents went to a peace summit one day, but, the moment they got there, they were soon killed..." The images of finding his parent's corpses in a old summit meeting room made his blood boil. "I learned the humans tricked our people...the king and queen were nowhere to be found...the only person left was their son who was still alive...I learned that Kami...was behind this and betrayed my parents...he was willing to take the throne and start a war on countless races..."
Young Vector went to his army of demons. "MY FATHER...MY MOTHER WAS SLAUGHTERED BY THE KINGDOM WE ONCE WERE FRIENDS WITH! THEY SHALL PAY FOR THEIR TRAITIOUS ACTION AND PAY WITH THEIR BLOOD STARTING WITH THEIR PRINCE KAMI!"
"YEAH!" The demon soldiers roared with rage in their tone.
The next scene showed Vector and his army of demons in a bloody war against the demon. "The battle raged on for almost a month...both our soldiers fell with their blood staining the ground and each side had their magic power and blasting through our enemy forces."
One image of Vector confronting Kami, who shared a resembling to Touma. "That's when Kami and I started our duel to the death..." The two started their sword duel. "Though, our swords broke we decided to fight with our fists and magic. Well, Kami wasn't able to hit me with magic. but he was able to do cast enchantment magic on himselfe."
"Wait, didn't you say Touma's ancestor had Imagine Breaker too?" Misaka asked.
"Yes, but, unlike Kami, he was able to find a way to turn off his Imagine Breaker and able to cast his enchantment spells. Rather, he was able to control his Imagine Breaker better by allowing him to accept the spells he can keep."
Linebreak
Touma was astonished of what he was hearing. "Wow, my ancestor was able to control his Imagine Breaker and allowed that power to accept magic on him so it wouldn't cancel it." He looked at his Right Hand. "Could I do that too?"
F
"Our duel continued on for a least the entire day, our bodies were soon reaching their limits and magic we used was taking a toll on us too." Vector continued. "We used our last remaining strength by using the last two swords that were nearby."
The image of Vector and Kami rushing at each other with their new blades and slashed at each other as they went past and glanced at each other. "In the end...I lost..." Fell onto the ground, with a large gash in my chest knowing the injuries would take my life...Kami then walked away...but...I wasn't going to die alone..." He rolled over and put his hand out. "I casted a fire spell and struck him in the back...thinking he would die on the battlefield with me and his soldiers..."
Then to his surprise, Kami kept pressing forward without even dropping on his knees and looked at him once and continued on. "After he looked at me he left me to die...knowing that my time would over..."
F
"That was it...my body soon succumbed to the injuries that my body was inflicted with...however...someone approached me on my death bed...taking my body to the strange magic chamber along with other species that were captured were killed in battle."
"Let me guess, that was the witch, Yoshino, and Selena the goblin girl..." Misaka presumed.
"Yes, if you want to know about the professor that found us, then that's another story," Vector said. "From what I'm standing, humans are still the heartless bastards they are, nothing has changed not even in this time. I guess humans only give a damn by themselves but that'll sure bring their destruction."
"Enough of of your bullcrap..." Touma stood back on his feet giving the demon prince a hard look. "My ancestor might be the one that had betrayed you, but...I have nothing to do that with that."
Vector scoffed coldly. "I don't give a damn if you were involved in your great-great-great grandfather's sin. You'll have to pay for it with your life."
Misaka's face tensed up as her electricity sparked violently even more. "You don't speak to Touma that way!" Releasing her electricity that shocked Vector's body intensly.
The attack was so powerful that Vector was send flying on his back. "Uhhh..."
"Listen, whether Touma is the descendant of this Kami jerk or not. He has nothing to do with your old friend's sins, nor, does he do the stuff Kami did! Touma saves people because he does what his heart tells him to!" Misaka declared. "He saved my life and I owe him a great debt as well others do!"
Vector sneered at this declaration as Touma joined in. "She's right, I'm sorry that my ancestor caused you so much grief and bitterness...but, I got news for you. I'm nothing like my ancestor...I save people not just because its my duty...I do it because it makes me happy to see the smiles of their face and that they find a path they could truly believe in!" He began to walk toward the demon prince. "If you think spouting nonsense about humans being bad guys is going to make your pain go away, then allow me to shatter your illusion!"
"I dare you to try! Vector lunged toward Touma.
"Not so fast!" Misaka transformed her iron sword into an iron-whip and whipped the demon's left waist dealing damage.
"Time for me to wake you from your illusion!" Touma slammed his fist into the demon's face launching him into the ground hard knocking him out.
"We did it..." Touma limped over but Misaka held him by his arm. "Are you okay?"
"Y-yeah...thanks, Misaka, for standing up for me," He coughed with a warm smile.
Misaka smiled back. "Sure thing...anytime, this is the least I can do for saving me."
Yoshino was stunned of what he saw. "Vector was defeated...no way..."
"Don't take your eyes away from your enemy!" Kanzaki warned as she held her katana once more. "Seven Flashes..." Dealing damage to Yoshino once more.
Just then sirens were heard. "Looks like our back is here..." Tsuchimikado said shooting down the last raptor.
Yoshino gritted his teeth. "Damn it..." He quickly tossed a smoke boom releasing the entire area in black smoke. "We'll finish this later, let's go!" He quickly snatched Vector and opened a portal retreating inside.
"Damn it, they got away!" Touma cursed.
"Let's worry about that later, let's meet up with Aiho!" Kanzaki suggested.
Taro was surprised of what he witnessed. "That Kamijou beat the demon...with that Misaka girl...they're so strong..." He looked down at Orin with a shameful look. "Orin...I'm sorry I couldn't protect you."
On the highway.
"You monster, my children have been slaughtered because of you!" Kamada was accused of anger.
"Spare me the accusations lady...you were going to have them spill my blood." John taunted with a smirk. "You can just watch from there... My Diary "The Watcher"."
"The Watcher..." Kamada questioned in confusion.
Yukiteru and Yuno manage to catch up. "I can see them!" Yuki pointed out.
"Yeah, Yukki, change lanes to enter the highway!" Yuno ordered.
"Right..." Yukiteru turned the vehicle onto the lane and entered the highway.
Yuno got out the window and pointed her pistol. "Just like the Diary said, I'll shoot the tires and make them stop!" She took a shot but the vehicle evaded the bullet.
"It missed..." Yukiteru said in surprise. "It must be his Diary, it's possible since he's the same type as me that can predict what happens in his surroundings."
"Right, I'll try this..." Yuno took another shot through the back window to shoot the mayor in the head but he quickly moved his head.
"No way, he can predict what will happen to himself?" Yukiteru exclaimed in disbelief. Having no choice, he pressed the engine's pad increasing their vehicle's speed and able to get close. "Take this!"
He rammed the vehicle against the mayor's car.
"You think you can stop this card like this, quite barbaric..." John mocked.
The two cars drove off the highway landing on the bottom road causing their vehicles to crash into the nearby railings.
"Are you safe?" Yukiteru asked taking hold of Yuno's hand.
"Y-yeah...I'm fine..."
"Quickly, we must kill him before he recovers," Yukiteru suggested.
The two out of their vehicle and approached the vehicle's back seat on the left. "You ready to die...11th?"
"Heheheheh..." A chuckle came from the mayor who just smirked. "I wonder if that's true.." Yuno gave the mayor a questionable look. "As my Diary predicted an arrival of some allies right now."
Yuno gave the mayor a stern look. "What do you mean, your security bastard allies?"
"No...I'm talking about yours..." John corrected.
Realization hit Yuno as the sound of a motorcycle was coming down the road.
The motorcycle stopped and revealed to Minene and Akise.
"What are you two doing here?" Yuno asked as her pistol was shot from her hand which was Nishijima's doing.
"Hey, we're going to have a chat about something," Minene held a grenade in her hand.
"Really, what kind of chat are you talking about?" Yukiteru asked.
"It's about the identity of the results we got from the lab," Akise answered tossing a small box in Yuki's direction. Yukiteru caught it in his left hand and opened it.
Yuno glanced at what was inside it. "No...it can't be..."
B
Kikyou gave a ride to Kanzaki, Index and Itsuwa. While Taro was in an ambulance with an unconscious Orin and both were on their way the hospital.
Aiho was driving away with Touma, Tsuchimikado, and Misaka. Of course, Misaki was tagging along and explained the situation.
"I hope we're not too late..." Aiho thought.
F
Misaki went to talk to Aiho, Tsuchimikado, and Kikyou in private. "Are you sure about that?"
"Yes, according to what we learned Akise has discovered the identity of the third corpse, rather come up with a certain conclusion."
"What does this mean for Yuno we know?" Kikyou wondered.
"Not sure, but, if I have to guess, it's possible the theory that Akise would come up with is that the Yuno with us is an imposter." Misaki presumed. "Although, if Akise comes to that thought, it's not much of a case."
"I agree, if Akise comes to Yuki with that evidence, it doesn't make much of a case," Tsuchimikado said. "In other words, Akise's conclusion about Yuno's identity is just a conspiracy theory."
F
"Akise, what are you trying to accomplish?" Touma thought.
B
"You do realize what that thing is, right?" Akise asked.
"Is this..." Yukiteru began to say.
"You figured it out, well, it's Yuno's umbilical cord..." Akise confirmed. "I compared it to the DNA samples of the third corpse at Gasai's hobby hold and guess what we confirmed, that the DNA results match each other.
"Liar! He's lying!" Yuno accused looking pale.
"To be specific, the third body is none other than Yuno Gasai herself...as for the real one, no doubt she died ages ago," Akise concluded.
"Wait..what does this mean...for the person in front of me?" Yukiteru asked getting the picture.
"I think you know...the person standing by you is nothing but an imposter..." Akise stated pointing at the stalker girl. "Whoever she is...I would advise you to step away from her."
Yuno took hold of Yuki's hand. "No...I'm not an imposter...I swear...I-I...can...explain..." Yukiteru's eyes were covered by his hair and didn't even look at her. "Yukki...speak to me! You believe me, right?"
Yukiteru lifted his head making eye contact with her and the magic wave was released from his eyes putting Yuno in a strange trace. Without hesitating, two shots were heard which were by Yukiteru holding a Smith & Wesson 629 Magnum.
Minene, Nishijima, Kamada, and John were shocked at what happened next. Akise was shot twice in the chest with a disbelief look on his face. "Yuki..." He groaned as he began to fall slowly as if in slow motion.
"AKISE!" Nishijima screamed.
Yukiteru and Yuno find the identity of 11th. However, Yukiteru is acting strange and killing breaking the alliance between 8th and her kids. Vector appears and fights against Touma and his friends. After Touma is knocked out for a while, he sees Misaka fighting against Vector, who reveals his past and connection with Touma's ancestor revealing more to his story and Touma's ancestor. Kanzaki fights against Yoshino the Lizardman.
Vector is defeated by Touma and Misaka, but Yoshino takes Vector away and retreates in a portal. Aiho picks up Touma as the others leave for the hospital
Yuki and Yuno manage to corner 11th on a low road but Akise and Minene arrive on the spot and reveal the information about the identity of the third corpse Akise concludes that the identity is Yuno Gasai and points out the Yuno that's with Yuki is an imposter. Yuno pleads to Yuki only to be strangely hypnotized and Yuki shoots Akise unexpectedly.
The question remains, who is Yuno Gasai and why did Yuki shoot Akise? Also, who murdered Keigo's wife and son? Find out next time.
P.S. Touma's ancestor was a hero, the fact that Kami betrayed the demon race, there will be more to the story, but, that'll come in due time.
End of chapter.
