A Certain Scientific Code Vader

Chapter 24 - A Certain Scienific Coilgun

"So you had us kidnapped espers to bring for you to make such espers fight each other?" Kenichi shouts.

"It's not kidnapped idiot where just letting them spend a little time experiencing." Mara defends. "When I was there and seen what was going on, the espers there where doing just fine, and taken health care of so that the experiments could reach its full potential."

"You really believe that?!" Kenichi argues. "Then if you effing have as much espers you need before the daihaseisai festival, then why in the effing hell did we have to fight that aura hurricane or whatever you all effing call her."

"Well having the material is one thing but a energy source that could sustain the hero, or more an energy source. One of the level 5 candidates where a perfect option with so much potential but not too much I can create the hero that can defeat the board of directors!" Masato explains.

"Then what's this last task Mara has to do?" Yosuke asked.

"Well I just want you all to protect Mara till the very end. Her role is the key to the hero, Mara already excepted the final thing I needed and that's the databank to all the espers that took part in the daihaseisai festival."

"All I have to do is upload this virus chip onto a law security. Only the best hacker in the universe can stop somewhat with this much firewall protect hell inside." Mara explains holding it up to show Kenichi.

"The being will keep getting stronger and stronger until it finds and take down all the board of directors of academy city. Then a new order could be made." Masato explains.

"That's enough!" Kenichi interrupts, "You two sound like a psychos!" Kenichi look at Mara and scream, "What the effing hell happened to you?"

"Kenichi!" Yosuke starred at Kenichi and look back at Mara. Yosuke thought to himself, "Something is definitely strange here Mara's personally has been somewhat drastically change when we met...

Now, picture the you that you wish to be. Picture your ideal self. You can be that version of yourself.

"Tsurigane aid us in our battle with Aura Storm... she noticed something not right about Mara. Did that certain someone brainwashed Mara... no because if that person did than wouldn't me and Kenichi also be brainwash? If that individual wanted absolute power and we all know for certain that person would be able to control us if they really wanted to. If I remember now that technique was some sort of self-discrepancy theory... compare our "actual" self to internalized standards or the "ideal/ought self we had all the free imagination to reconstruct self. What we where giving was just thought of our own cognitive self that we needed to be. To be more in question what did that one do? And what did that one provide for us because in other words there was evidence despite that we started to win. The victory was with the same tools we used before taking form of that idea self. Maybe we just thought we got stronger and those false beliefs came true. So my conclusion is that person didn't brainwash us, we just simply brainwash ourselves.... Mara."

"Mara stopped this!" Yosuke threats. But Kenichi place his hand in front of Yosuke.

"TARDY don't turn on each other even if our own are wrong." Kenichi states looking at Yosuke. Yosuke back down and looked away.

"Mara you can't do this please!" Kenichi said begging Mara.

From above nearby tree Jeong-Min listens in, "I see those two don't want to strive this far but they won't abandon Mara and end the end they'll still be my enemies. It's not a good idea to reveal myself but I can't let Mara do this!" Jeong-Min threw a shuriken at Mara's hand to make her lose her grip on the key. Jeong-Min took advantage of this surprise attack sliding in from a ware and kicking Mara. When landed Kenichi was already behind her and swings his counter 7 weapon at Jeong-Min that prepared back leap like a gymnastics. Jeong-Min had a smoke bomb in her hand but sudden chains latch onto her breaking her balance, trapping her in Yosuke's grip.
