3rd persons POV
Tingles rush over Mikan's body as her vision blurs. She watches as everything distort and her body stings in pain all over. The pain causes her eyes to clench shut and she grits her teeth to withstand the shocks terrorizing her body. The floor that was beneath Mikan just a moment ago seems to fade away, leaving the girl to fall. Gravity pulls her body down, a sense of fear coursing through her as she realizes she isn't touching solid ground. Within a moment, her body slams against a new floor, this one seeming harder like concrete.
"Ahh...." She groans in pain, leg twitching a little from the shocks she fell victim to. Her brown eyes slowly crack open, Mikan flinching when a bright white light burns her eyes. After multiple blinks, her eyes are finally open and she lifts her head, heart skipping when she sees where she is.
People who were bustling around freeze, staring at the girl in shock. Her eyes widen when she sees two of her seniors above what looked to be a bed.
"Why...?" One speaks, panicking at the sight of the eldest Sakura, "Why here... Sakura?!" Sakurano exclaims, him and Subaru staring down at the girl in horror.
The air smelt like chemicals, causing the brunette to realize where exactly she was. Mikan looks around, seeing an iv drip as well as hearing the sound of a heart monitor.... Flatlining.
'Nobara-Chan's room...' the eleven year old looks around at her surroundings once again, gathering her bearings, 'I used instant teleportation... to get here without knowing it.'
"How come you are here? Aren't you supposed to be at the maze residence?" Subaru takes note of the girls injuries as well as her clothes that are slightly tattered. "Those wounds are lacerated wounds and burns... acquired from breaking through a barrier..."
"My god!" Sakurano raises his voice as he realizes what the girl had done.
'I came across the barrier... and broke the contract Shiki-San had with the ESP...' Mikan glances behind her but failed to see her sister. She had no time to focus on that at the moment, for she knew Akako was safe with the students of the Dangerous ability class. On that note, the girl lunges to her feet and sprints towards the bed that Sakurano and Subaru stood over, ignoring their outspoken concerns of the elementary school principal finding out.
'Nobara-Chan!' Mikan stands at her bedside, fear increasing at the sight of her. Nobara lay unconscious, an oxygen mask fastened to her mouth and nose to help her breathe. Her blue locks lay on the bed, causing her paling skin that was decorated with dark bruises to stand out. Her body was cold, slightly covered in ice.
"Sakura... wait, what-!" Everyone watches as Mikan quickly places her hands on Nobara's chest, closing her eyes and focusing all that she could.
'I'm begging you... open your eyes!!' Mikan wills with all her being, wanting the girl to wake up, 'Please... don't go.' A tear falls from her eye, 'Don't go. Don't go. I'm begging you!'
"What are you doing to the patient?" A nurse calls out from the back.
The two seniors can only watch as a light emits from Mikan, illuminating the room even more. Her hair slightly flutters through the air from the power she exerting. They could feel her intentions through the air, her desperation to save Nobara.
'Come back!' Mikan chants in her mind as small black pebbles begin forming in her hands, slowly leaving Nobara's body, 'I'm willing to trade my own life...!' Mikan's eyes shoot open, staring at her friend that she held dear to her heart.
"Come on, Nobara-Chan! Open your eyes! Come back..." Mikan pleads, wanting to see her beautiful eyes once again.

Shiki's heart drops when he feels a disturbance. It wasn't a disturbance with the barrier for the whole school, this was the barrier he kept around the twins. The man raises a hand to his mouth at the situation, worrying for the children of the woman he loved. He had come to love the twins, due to their beautiful personalities and now... now those two little girls were in danger of being exploited due to their powers and the agreement that had been broken.
Shiki sits there, trying to figure out what to do since word will quickly reach the elementary principal. He had to try and come up with something quickly. A couple of minutes after he felt the disturbance, Shiki clenches his fist when he feels another disturbance within the barrier.
Both Sakuras escaped...
In a hospital room, a man bursts through the door. He dashes towards the bed where the elementary principal's small and injured body rests while doctors and nurses hover over him. Once the Fuukitai reaches the principal, he begins speaking. At his words, the principal's malicious eyes widen.
"What..?" He utters, unsure if he heard correctly. His underling nods vigorously, "Sakura Mikan... finally broke the agreement and used the stealing Alice after escaping. I also got word that Sakura Akako escaped as well but were unsure of where she is."
"Arrest them." He eagerly commands, not wanting the chance to slip by, "Now! Arrest Sakura Mikan! Find Sakura Akako at once!"

"Imai, give Sakura the Alice stone of healing."
The boy with the healing Alice quickly turns towards his friend, eyes widening behind his glasses. "Sakurano..." Subaru observes his classmate. The blond Alice merely stares at the eleven year old who was doing her best to save her friend.
"I don't think we can stop her... no matter what we say." Sakurano concludes, "At the very least, we should help her with her wish... before the enemy gets here."
Mikan pours all of her emotion into the act that she's committing, determined to bring the girl back to the land of the living. 'I must bring Nobara back! No matter the cost... I don't want to see people die anymore!'
"AH!"
All eyes turn to around, everyone looking behind them. They watch as another child appears in the air, quickly falling to the ground with a thud. Once again, everyone was stunned to see a girl teleport into the room. She groans in pain as all of her limbs ache and sting from the lacerations she received from the unrelenting barrier.
"Akako-San?!" Sakurano belted, astounded that Mikan's twin would follow her through the strong barrier. Akako seemed to be in an even worse state than her sister, with more cuts and burns due to her failed first attempt.
His call seemed to snap Akako out of her frazzled state, her blue eyes snapping up in search of her sister. She purses her lips at the sight and raises herself to her feet, wobbling like a fawn trying to stand for the first time. Even though her body protests, she stands and examines the situation, ignoring everyone's startled faces. Akako watches as Mikan continues to try her hardest to extract the Alice from Nobara's body.
Akako notices a glow emitting from Imai-San's fist, zeroing in on his hand. "Ah!" Akako quickly rushes the older boy, holding out her hand. "Hand it over, quickly!" Akako orders, the stone being set in her upturned palm. Akako places her elemental Alice stone in his outstretched hand before turning away, shocking the older Imai. The blonde quickly staggers towards her twin's side, placing a hand on Mikan's shoulder to let the girl know she was there.
"Mikan-Nee, I'll take over! You have to be the one... to put the stone in and save Nobara!" Akako exclaims into Mikan's ear.
Mikan's brown eyes shoot open, glancing at the blue eyes that mirror the same intention as hers. Mikan looks down at Akako's hand that was holding out the Alice stone of healing.
"If we do it at the same time, we can save her quicker!" Akako concludes, watching the resolve in Mikan's eyes. With a firm nod from the brunette, Akako hastily makes her way to the opposite side of the bed, standing across from her twin.
They glance at one another before looking at their hands and Nobara's body. "You must be tired, are you sure you can do this?" A voice ponders from behind Mikan. She faces backwards to see a very concerned Subaru. In her eyes, Subaru sees an unwavering spirit residing within the girl. She nods in response, heart, mind, and souls dedicated to this. "Whatever it takes!" Mikan responds.
While everyone was distracted by the situation at hand, they all failed to notice the new figure that appeared in the doorway. He stands, watching as hope arises within him while the Sakura's work to heal Nobara.
As the twins prepare themselves for the quick switch, a sudden beep grabs everyone's attention. Both of their eyes dart towards the monitor, watching the digital line shoot up quickly before descending.
"We got a heartbeat again!" A nurse cheers.
A surge of hope envelopes the twins, Mikan's head whips back towards her little sister. "Akako, now!" She orders the blonde.
Mikan quickly raises her hands from Nobara's body, watching the black stones she already extracted fall on to the floor with tiny clinks. Akako places the stone of healing in her sister's palm with one hand while the other places itself on Nobara's abdomen. Once the exchange is made, Akako closes her eyes, directing all her attention to the task at hand. Mikan quickly places the stone on Nobara, trying to absorb the stone into the unconscious girl's body.
A bright light illuminates the twins as well as Nobara as all of them fight. More stones escape the ice user's body while the stone of healing slowly enters.
More men faze outside of the room, gasping at the sight of the man before them. "Persona is already here!" They exclaim, glancing past the man to see both Sakura girls inside. "Arrest Sakura-Futago... now! That was the order given from the esp! Do it while they're both still here!" The men inform Persona of the orders.
He doesn't move, only staring at the twins.
The nurses in the room as well as the two seniors watch in astonishment as all of the bruises fade away, leaving Nobara's pale skin as clear as it was the day she was born. The ice that coated her body begins melting, dripping down in to the ground. Warmth returns to the girls body, the beeping from the monitor becoming more consistent.
"We have a pulse!"
All of the stones have been retrieved from Nobara's body and the healing stone has been fully inserted. Akako opens her eyes, tearing up at the sight of Nobara. She looked completely healthy, a wave of relief surging over the blonde. She looks up to see Mikan unconscious, laying on top of Nobara. Fear flutters in her heart at the sight, causing her kind to become even more disoriented. "Onee-Chan!" Akako panics but if. Ones to a halt when Mikan's eyes shoot open and she jumps up. Mikan quickly looks to her friend, tearing up when she sees the state Nobara was in.
Akako's body begins tilting sideways, Imai quickly catching the girl. Both girls had exerted so much energy in such little time, both were so worn out. But their actions weren't for naught.
Nobara was alive.
"It's okay now." Sakura no places a hand on Mikan's shoulder, "You're power saved her life. Thanks to you... as well as Sakura-Chan and Ibagari-San... you all did a great job." The make assures the child.
"She's Alive."
