touma was running around the hospital
[tch....where is she?!]touma was searching for mikoto
with accelerator
he was jumping from building to building
[tch....he called several time on my phone something must have gone wrong ]
the number 1 suddenly had a strange sensation..like he was followed
with mikoto,and the saint
the saint has thrown her sword at mikoto,the sword melted as it reach mikoto
the saint was standing up,she was still hurt and bleeding,but she knew had to fight,she had managed to go above her fear
« tch...who are you ? »ask mikoto with a strange tone of voice,she sounded more like a thug than a girl from tokiwadai,with a bit of smile
«i have nothing to say to you »said the saint
«i see that you're hurt »said mikoto with a sudden cold tone
the atmosphere suddenly became colder....the eyes of mikoto seem to be emotionless
a second later
some strange electrecity seem to spark around mikoto's head for a second
« what happened ? »ask mikoto with a sudden concern tone,the emorion seem to be back in her eyes
[the hell?]thought the saint
[the aura she gives completely change in less than a second...]
« i should bring you to the hospital...you seem pretty hurt »said mikoto
[Maybe I can take advantage of that!]thought the saint
« i attack you to get your attention I know who wouldn't be hurt...please,please bring me to the hospital »said the saint with the best acting she could do
« ha....the hospital..... »respond mikoto as she start looking at the sky
for some reason mikoto seem to hesitate
« ....the hospital..... »
« but i don't want to go there..... »
« m-maybe you can just call an ambulance... »said the saint
« but they would try to bring me back there,if they see me... »said mikoto
[why would they want to...]thought the saint
then suddenly notice that mikoto despite wearing a school uniform...she has a few bandages around her arms and legs
[what?]
suddenly a face appears on mikoto's face
« what are you looking at ? »ask mikoto with a smile
« wh-why are would the hospital try to bring you back ? »ask the saint
the saint could barely finish her question,electricity was around mikoto's body
the electricity was boosting mikoto's physical strength to an insane level
« don't dodge my question by another ! »order mikoto
At the same time, Mikoto punches the saint in the face with such strength that the punch lift the saint..and then mikoto with her punch guide the saint's head toward the ground and slam the saint's head on the ground,making an impact on the ground
the saint on the ground,she tried to talk, but her jaw was hurting...in fact it's hurting too much
she trie to touch around her mouth with her hand,she barely touches...and the pain was unbelievable
the saint look up to the monster who did this to her
« come on!answer my question ! »said mikoto
[please somebody help?!]thought the saint...however the street remain empty...because she put the runes herself
mikoto's sadist smile appears again
« WHAT....ARE....YOU....LOOKING.....AT?! »almost scream mikoto
«a- yog bandaogh »trie to say the saint...
« aww.....did i hit too hard ? »ask herself out loud mikoto
[i can't talk,my jaw got shattered!]thought the saint
suddenly with a second breath,the saint realizing she was going to die,use the last bit of her strenght and power
some blue aura start being emitted by the saint
« heh ? »react mikoto with a bit of confusion
the saint with eye full of hatred,she gets up with great speed and jump in the hair
[i need to flee!]thought the saint in the air
the saint was going toward the roof of a building,she jumps several time,on several objects
[i'm almost on the roof!]thought the saint
the saint's hand was going to reach the edge of the roof
but while in the air..the saint could a strange sound..like someone flipping a coin
« you think you can escape or something ?! »scream mikoto as she fire a railgun,at the hand of the saint that about to reach the roof
the arm of the saint took the full blast the railgun
the railgun actually got touch the building itself,in had cut and burn everything in it's way
mikoto look at the saint falling,and crash near her
« hmm...you're still alive.... »said mikoto without even realising what she has done
the saint almost wanted to cry
[my....my arm!]thought the saint who was barely conscious anymore
[it's-it's gone?!]
the saint' s arm was cut clean with the railgun
the saint was on the floor...bleeding
mikoto was looking down on the saint
the saint's eye were loose their light,death as coming for her
« hey don't die ! »said mikoto with a strange normal voice
but the saint wasn't responding
« hey! answer me ! »ask mikoto
still no respond
the eye of mikoto seem to full of despair this time
« please answer! there is no way i killed you ! »almost scream mikoto
mikoto didn't even realise that someone was with her and watching
« biribiri ! »call someone behind mikoto was probably running given the voice
mikoto turn to touma with eye full of despair
« why...why you ? »said mikoto,she actually seems confused
« what the hell happened here ?! »ask touma seeing the street half destroyed and the saint on the ground
« just look around you ! »
« huh ? »react mikoto
mikoto's head turn to see the overhall street
Most of the building where half, burns,all the electric part of every electrical object were out and burn or melted
« when did i do that ? »react mikoto
« just stop already and just come to the hospital »said touma [something's wrong]
« come on,just come with me »touma's hand was raised toward mikoto and open
However Mikoto was still looking around, especially the destruction she caused
she started crying....
Touma looked at mikoto with shock
« i've caused a lot of destruction before,way more than that actually »said mikoto
then turn mikoto turn to touma while still crying...but her tears almost seems like tear of joy...and she was smiling
« why did he take so long for me to realise how beautiful all of this is ? »said mikoto
touma was frozen in shock
mikoto genuinely seem happy
[th-the hell?!]thought touma
then mikoto's face becomes full of disappointment
« what ? You can't enjoy it ? »ask mikoto
touma back down a bit
he could felt it
she was going to attack him
[she's not well,something is clearly wrong with her]
[she wouldn't act like that]
touma suddenly see something weird
[huh?]
for a second..the electricity around mikoto's head
that electricity is differente color than usual,it was shining a more blueish color than usual,almot purple
but the color quickly stops
suddenly an electric attack toward touma
touma raise his right hand nullify the attack
touma clench his teeth as he raise his hand again
« tch...look like i have to bring you back to normal »said touma as mikoto rush at him
[heh?!,she's attacking me in a close range?!]thought touma
then touma remember that mikoto beat herself the nurse
"well...never thought i would have to punch you!"said touma as he rushes toward mikoto
[maybe my imagine breaker will have effect]though touma supposing mikoto's state was linked to her power
with accelerator,he was jumping roof to roof
as he was jumping
a shadow seem to follow him,he hasn't actually seen it, but he could feel that someone was watching as he was jumping
[tch....i need to go to mikoto!whoever's following me don't matter right now!]thought accelerator as he jump again
he kept jumping over and over
with touma and mikoto
touma rush toward mikoto
mikoto raise her fist and launch a punch toward touma's head
touma with his experience could prevent it and dodge it
with his right hand,touma was going to touch mikoto's head
but the moment his hand got near her head,the railgun suddenly back down with rampage dress
[she avoid it!]thought touma as he rush toward mikoto again
however mikoto with her rampage dress fight back by punching in the rib and sending him flying
touma was on the ground, his chest was hurting like hell
he look up to mikoto
she...seem scared...she was hugging herself,she seem in pain,to restrain herself....at least trying to
touma was slowly getting up
"how can you even move!?"almost scream mikoto with despair in her voice
"can't you just give up?!"
"tch...."touma almost spit on the ground
"we both know i'm not the kind to give up"respond touma with a serious look
"tch....you really want to die do you ?!"react mikoto
"hey at least if it calms you down it would be worth it"respond touma
mikoto shivered as a blush appear for a second accompanied by a surprise face
'huh?"react touma
"just shut up and die already !"scream mikoto as she sent electricity toward touma
but with imagine breaker by his side touma protected him by simply raise his hand
the attack was just nullify
"tch....that right hand is really annoying!"said mikoto
"yeah,i know"respond touma with a tiny grin as he wipes some blood from his mouth that he spit when mikoto hit him earlier
mikoto's happy expression was slowly disappearing,her grin was slowly disappearing
for a second touma look at the person on the ground ,that woman wasn't moving at all
[is she even alive?....i hope]thought touma
[and i think biriri hope that too]touma realise how mikoto react when she was looking down on the person that she hurt so badly
however,if that person was alive..giving her injuries..her missing arm,all this blood...she won't be alive for long...
[wait?!]thought touma as he realise something
[for someone who lost an arm...most of the bleeding come for another wound...and it wasn't bleeding that much]
touma raise his chest a bit
[i need to check something!]thought touma as he launch himself toward mikoto
he raise his imagine breaker toward mikoto with his hand open
"like hell,you're gonna touch me!"scream mikoto as she back again leaving the injured saint alone
touma stop when he was near the saint,he look at all the injuries
"what?...is there a problem with that corpse?"ask mikoto as her grin came back
"she's not dead yet"said touma
mikoto was surprisingly shock,but her crazy face came back quickly
"well...that good for her,i guess she's lucky,she seem to be stronger than most people"said mikoto while crossing her arm
touma look up to mikoto after looking at the injuries of the saint a bit
"her bleeding was stopped and she should be fine of some time"said touma
"you're the one who did that didn't you"
mikoto's face was showing confusion
"her wound have been cauterise"said touma
"heh?" react mikoto,she was genuinely surprise
touma saw the blue almost purple electricity around mikoto's head again
then right after she immediately got her a cocky grin
"well..i guess my railgun burn her arm....it's not surprising, it is burning!"said mikoto
"except it's not just her arm,even other wound have been cauterise"said touma
mikoto shivered a bit
"well....well i...well i guess i just burn her a bit with my electricity without realising it"said mikoto with hesitation....she was clearly confused herself
"don't even to tell me you did this by accident"start touma as he go toward mikoto with an intimidating walk
"while i'm just a level 0 ,i know that all of you level 5 are insanely precise with your power"
"so you just perfectly cauterise all her wounds by accident...you really expect me to believe that?"
touma's face was now facing mikoto's face
mikoto seem to be more and more lost as he goes near her
"and i know you're a good person"said touma
"i don't think you like destruction"
"if someone had told me that you would beat a nurse like that, i wouldn't believe it"
"Except i saw the nurse...."
touma seem disappointed
mikoto's eyes were trying to escape the look of touma
"i saw you beat up that woman!"
"and you just attack me"
mikoto look at the injuries that she made on touma
he probably had a few bones broken...and yet he was still standing
"i know something happen with accelerator"
"i don't know what..but i know it affect you....and a lot"
"i already try to call him"
[what the hell is he doing?!]thought touma
the mention of accelerator made mikoto shivered
she start looking
"wh-what...you mean he's with you?!"react mikoto,she almost seem scared
"no,he's not here...at least not right now"respond touma [strange reaction...]
"but him being here or not doesn't matter right now"
mikoto start holding her head in pain
"please..please stop..."said mikoto
"stoping what?...i'm not doing anything..."said touma
mikoto backdown while holding her head in pain...she seem like she was going to fall on her knee
Electricity start appearing around mikoto
then...it's like the electricity was spreading..on the ground...on the buildings
touma had to back down
"it hurts.....it hurts.."said mikoto
"what is happening ?!"ask touma almost screaming as he around him
the window of the buidling were melting or exploding,part of the ground was melting
but touma saw the blueish electricity again...around mikoto's head
"i don't fucking know!"scream mikoto at touma
it look like she was losing control of her power
"i feel like i know nothing!"
"that's not true!"said touma as his imagine breaker protect him from the power acting around him
"last time i check,you went in some stupid war without telling me!"
"heh?"react touma
"and it goes for accelerator too!"scream mikoto as everything start burning around her due the electricity
"seriously?! why can't things be more simple?!"
[the hell?!]thought touma putting his right in front of his face as a spear of electricity goes straight to him to nullify the attack
"why can't bad guys just be bad guys?!"
"why can't this whole damn city just leave me and my friend alone?!"
"or even the sister!"
"seriously! even her!"mikoto start pointing to the saint lying on the ground
"she's the one who attack me first...but i'm ready to bet that i will at soooooome point learn that she's some kind of hero or a "good" person"
mikoto start complaining about ...well basically about everything
touma was just standing there....listening
{she's complaining like a child....but i guess...she's actually right]
[anyways..i need to stop her....]
[it's weird....it's almost like she was switching trough several personalities]
[angry,sad,happy....sadistic...]
then touma realise something
[it's.....it's like....it's like her own brain doesn't know what kind of emotion to feel]
[or she don't seem to react accordingly to the situation]
[she save that woman's life...but she didn't even realise it]
[which mean.....that while she show a certain emotion....it's doesn't necessarily mean that the action relate to the emotion]
[wait....but she seem angry...and she actually attacks me...and hurt me]
"haaa!"complains touma [it's doesn't make any sense ?!]
suddenly touma remark that mikoto was on her knee crying...electricity was still sparking around her....blueish spark around her head..it was almost purlple
[heh?!...she switches to another emotion?!]
"why can't i just crush all of them!"said mikoto while still crying.....she was crying like a child
[wait...]thought touma
[electricity!]
[her own power is doing that!]
[the human brain work with electricity at least it's similar in some way...maybe..her own brain is basically bugging!or being hack in some way]
[for some reason she's losing control of her power.....and she's acting on her own brain without realising it...it's probably why her emotion change like that]
[which mean that to stop her power from affecting her brain...]
[i need to touch her head with my right hand! it should nullify the effect...i hope]
"well..."touma raise his hand toward mikoto
"let's go!!!!"touma start rushing at mikoto with his right hand
he manage to pass throught the wall of electricity with imagine breaker
mikoto look at him and try to back down
"no,you don't!"said touma as he jump to go farther
he was almost going to touch mikoto with his imagine breaker
but mikoto put his hand away with her right hand to avoid getting hit
touma use his other hand to try to grab mikoto however....
as the same time mikoto sent a bit of electricity toward the normal arm of touma
however it didn't stop him.,touma's normal hand didn't stop
Despite the pain, he clenches his teeth as hard as he can endure the pain
he manage to grab mikoto's shoulder
touma use every last bit of his will to bring his imagine breaker toward mikoto's face
however,with the pain,he couldn't think straight
mikoto's eye had fear in them as she sees a fist going straight to her face
the imagine breaker's reflection could be seen in her right eye
"i got you!"said touma as his punch land
despite her rampage dress,mikoto didn't have time to react
she slowly felt the touma's fist hit her face
touma put all of his strength in the punch and push mikoto as he could
his punch sent her on the ground
the electricity stop,the whole thing stop the moment he touch her head,it was over
touma was heavily panting,smoke was coming from his body because of the heat,it's a miracle he wasn't burned
he look at mikoto with a tired look
[i made it....]thought touma
but mikoto wasn't moving...she was unconscious
touma kept panting....and some part of his body start bleeding,the adrenaline effect was wearing off,all of his injuries were bad
"tch.....guess i need to go to the hospital too....."said touma as he collapse on the ground right to mikoto
with accelerator ,he was still on his way toward the hospital
whoever was following him was getting closer,he could feel it
[should i go faster ?]thought accelerator as he jumps again but at greater speed
the shadow start going faster too
[tch...whoever that is....it can still keep up with me]thought accelerator while in the air
[given how this is going,i should try to understand who is it...]
accelerator stop on a roof [if it's a threat i should deal with it right....i can't lead it to mikoto]
"oi!why the hell are you following me?!"called accelerator to whoever was listening
suddenly something lands in front of accelerator
accelerator completely froze
"the hell?!"react accelerator
"i was wondering if you were just ignoring me or that you weren't aware of my presence"said the human while looking at accelerator
"the first idea is probably the right one"
accelerator back down a bit,he was ready to fight at any moment
"why are here you fucker?!"almost scream accelerator [no wonder he could keep up with me]
"such a predictable reaction coming from you"said the greatest magician
"but you don't need such hostility right now"
"like hell i don't!"respond accelerator
"don't you have a city to run?!"ask accelerator[i can't take him on...i just know it!]
it was a strange feeling,a strange atmosphere,but accelerator's very soul was warning him
"i may have a city to run,but my students comes first especially you"respond the chairman
"by students you mean your plans don't you!"said accelerator
"why are you here?!"
aleister crowley just ignore accelerator's question
the magician look away as he start walking in circle around accelerator
the number 1 was frozen
"the imagine breaker is taking care of the railgun,right now"
a bit of the ground under accelerator's feet start breaking
"don't worry,he should be able to handle it"
accelerator turn around to see aleister....but the chairman wasn't there
accelerator suddenly a cold breath behind his neck
aleister was standing right behind him
[i didn't even detect his movement?!]thought accelerator with shock in his eye
aleister bow his head a bit above accelerator's shoulder
accelerator instinctively stand straight as he felt aleister's finger touching his neck
"i see that you got rid of your electrode"said aleister as his hand was around accelerator neck
accelerator's red eye were turned toward aleister's green eyes
accelerator felt the magician's finger going through his skin
accelerator felt an horrible pain,he was like paralyzed
suddenly aleister's hand let go of accelerator's neck
"hmm...so my hypothesis was right"
accelerator didn't even have time to blink that aleister was in front of him
accelerator fell on his knee,he touch his neck with his hand
[i felt his finger going in?!...but...why isn't bleeding]thought accelerator
there was no wound,no blood,not even a trace
"despite not being connected to the misaka network via the electrode....you remain link to it"
"huh?"react accelerator as he look up
"the hell is that supposed to mean ?"ask accelerator as he get up
after he get up,accelerator look at aleister
the chairman had a bit of a smile
[why the hell are you smiling like that ?!]thought accelerator
"i see that you still didn't attack me....you became wiser"said aleister
"your growth is going well"
"what the hell do you mean ?!"
"'i'm not connected to the network!the hell mean being link to it?"ask accelerator
aleister sigh
[are you bored or something ?!]thought accelerator
"i will answer ,like a teacher answering a question of his student"said aleister
"you already know that there are powers and force that you can't understand,but to put it simply"
"you brain is not connected but your soul is"
accelerator barely react
"well...i did answer your question,but you would have probably guessed that on your own"
"is that why you came ?!"ask accelerator
"to check if i was still connected to it?" [why does it matter whether i'm connect to the misaka network or not?!]
"did you leave your building just for that ?!"
"I didn't really leave the building but it doesn't really matter"respond aleister
"i came to check on your growth"
"my growth ? since when do you care about that ?!"
"since alway"respond aleister almost interrupting accelerator
"but let's talk about something else"
"huh?"react accelerator
"let's talk about...tokiwadai"start aleister
[tch...he just changed the subject..]thought accelerator
"i already know everything about the whole story"said aleister
aleister gain a bit of a smile again
"even your strange relation with the number 5"
accelerator remain,he knew that aleister was trying to make him angry
"why don't you go straight to the point!"said accelerator
"if you were only here to check on my growth like you said,you should have left already,in fact you probably wouldn't even have to be here in the first place"
there's a second of silence as accelerator look at aleister
"you're already aware that tokiwadai and it's student are being targeted"started aleister
"but you don't know by who"
"then just tell me who!"said accelerator
"the enemies of academic city are also your enemies"
"and also yours"ad aleister
there was a silence
"despite what you probably think,the one attacking tokiwadai aren't magicians, however they are indeed ally with magicians"
"it's a group,a big company who strive for nothing but money,and for that they need to strip away academic city from it's monopoly over new technologies"
"some girl of tokiwadai are big investisor of the city,if the city loose part of it's founding it will slowly decay"
"in fact,you've been in contact with that group before...it was few day ago"
"i believe you were teaming up with the number 5"
accelerator look down a bit [so it's those fuckers again]
"but i want you to not intervene"said aleister
accelerator flinches [the hell?!]
"and that's an order"
accelerator knew he couldn't refuse,in front of him was the man who has been controlling every part of his life
"just protect the girls of tokiwadai...and i will be the one to deal with the magicians and the company"
"so what you suddenly finally decide to leave that building and do everything yourself?"ask accelerator
"not really"
aleister start walking toward the edge of the roof
"just protect the girls of tokiwadai"
aleister turn to accelerator with a bit of a smile
"see....this mission...as extra homework...from your teacher"
[i choose to help tokiwadai by my own will!it wasn't one of your order!]thought accelerator
"you're not my fucking teacher!"said accelerator
"no matter how much you deny it,you will alway remain my best and favourite student"said aleister
accelerator didn't have time to blink that aleister was gone
he was standing like an idiot,not saying anything
the ground start shattering around him
in fact the whole building was shattered,the number 1 took a bit of time to realize it
and he quickly stops after realising it,hopefully the building didn't collapse
he was surprised himself by how he manage not to go insane
but that's not true,the only reason to why the whole area is still standing is because of the situation
he probably would destroy have the whole area,if he didn't suddenly remembered the whole situation with mikoto
accelerator jumps away and immediately go at 3 times the speed of sound toward the hospital
