Sunset arises as Tedashii and Akahana finally prepare to leave District 7, shopping center.

Akahana studies the alien stuff prop, beaming with her eyes and touching every aspect of the fabric. "Processing complete..." she quotes with a dull stare, she lowered her head staring into the fabric of the prop."

"You do know that's not real right?" Tedashii worries about the girl's curiosity towards the alien prop.

"There is so far no proof that aliens are real...but I can indeed confirm Academy City, and other countries launch rockets into space this following month...due to that factor along... I can hypothesize that they've managed to discover and acquire another outside life form."

"You know that game counter merchant only said that to you, to get into your pockets, you know what sure, whatever floats your boat, maybe you should take that info to account." Tedashii smiled and thought to himself about the girl's vast knowledge as well as her inexperienced life.

Akahana eyebrows rose pondering at Tedashii's sudden change of nature while trying to process why he extended the trip. She looked up and down at his extra baggage.

"What? Why are you staring at me like that?" Tedashii saids annoyed by the girl's oblivious look at the bags he's carrying.

"... I was told by you that the indefinite continued progress of existence was of the essence... and now it has seem that you only urgently hastily edger me, to advance your own prioritizing purchasing."

"Eh, and what if I did? Who said you have any right to put me in question?" Tedashii looked back at the girl's dull face. Sweat drift from the tension vibe she gave off.

"... I see..."

"Huh?"

"... So you are a categorizing individual who locates unclothed females, and purchases them some?

"What don't say stuff like that! Blah people are staring now..." Tedashii sighs giving in to the girl's occasions. "Here, there actually for you!" He handed the girl her the clothes that were tucked away in the shopping bags. "Despite the dull stare that you give out, you're really easy to read now."

"... Processing.."

"Processing what now?"

"... Shut up!"

"No! What do you need to update that information for? You tend to say or give off body movements of someone who is angry, of course I can read that!"

"... I am aware of your observational abilities... What I need to comprehend is your cause, explanation, or justification for your actions of purchasing these sets of fabrics... While I've already acquired the ones you've already purchased that are already equipped."

Tedashii blushed looking away from her while scratching his head, reminiscing from the beginning of the day, "Well you were naked... What are you gonna wear the next day, and the day after that? You can't possibly wear the same outfit every single day."

"I won't need fabric inside the tube..."

"What are you planning to go back to, that pod?" Tedashii's tense face shifted into an unease concerning unpleasant frown.

"... Where else would I direct to?" Akahana tilted her head, raising one eyebrow.

"Well, ... I don't know! But you can't seriously consider going back into that pod?"

"... Why?"

"Because I dunno, it's weird!"

"... How so? I thought you knew everything?"

"I do!"

"Then you should already know."

"... Tch!"

"... So you do not know?"

"Well I can't hack and look up any further information about Academy City. The tree diagram is gone. Look I don't know why you were in that pod or whatever, but whatever that reason might be, it's not safe, these are the type of people that would apply any screw up act in the name of science. These are the type of people that would open your head making tweaks like your some robot...."

"That's right," Akahana said, cutting Tedashii off mid-sentence... I am a droid now... so what is the harm in that?" Akahana words left Tedashii with a scared face terrified of the latter.

"Wh-What-have t-t-they, done to you?" Tedashii stuttered said holding the girl's arm tightly.

"... This tensive vibration ... isn't for me... for I am a droid nothing more nothing less, this cry from help it's for you..."

"Bullshit!" Tedashii said angrily, holding the girl's arm even more tightly.

"...Is it not ... if so the active equivalent indefinite continued progress of existence from when we met is of that of twenty-one thousand, six hundred seconds... You could have or rather impossible for the human mind to gain emotional attachment, not to mention that emotional attachment for machinery is less effective than an actual fully human being... then if I would have to theoretically analyze your vast knowledge and frustration... your appearance at four AM in district 23... and your comments back at the restaurant... I can rather appreciate that you are scared of Academy City."

Tedashii froze up unable to react, he felt he could read her. But she could read him like an open book. Tedashii felt completely broken.

"... If you plan to use me for Academy City's information... do as you please, but you would at least need the password... otherwise it is impossible..."

"... Sure..."

Suddenly the power went out within the underground district shopping center.

Tedashii startled looking left in right all he could sense is darkness. His body begins to tremble feeling torn apart. But suddenly a warm embrace wrapped up over his body, he looked down to feel Akahana hugging him. Her warmth softened his body and calmed his trembling body at ease. She talks like a robot, a verbal vocabulary wikipedia but was she really some robot? How could someone like this actually feel like a human being.

A recon voice came from the microphone above the underground district echoing. "We apologize for the maintenance, please remain calm as we fix the problem, we will safely escort everyone outside via teleportation.

"Tch damn it, why am Esper ability." Tedashii said, annoyed, "Couldn't they just find someone else to open at least one door, and have us go in a single line. What if the Espers miscalculated their teleport costing an accident? Why do they have to use an Esper?" Tedashii lowering his head and mumbling to himself. A sudden warm grip on his hand wrapped around his hand, he turned to Akahana that was holding his hand.

"... Everything will be alright."

"... Than...."

"Because there's a reconstruction medical treatment..."

"Eh, thanks for ruining it."

The two waited for a while, as they waited they could hear the Esper ability at hand, but didn't see the teleporter. Tedashii thought back on the principles of teleportation but could not go deep on their capabilities due to them being a rare type of Esper ability.

"Man how many people were down here? It was getting late after all there shouldn't be that many people to teleport, since certain students have curfew time to get back to their dorms."

"... Do you feel like you're endangered?" Akahana, said tilted her hand.

"Well, the fact were trap here, and our way out is an Esper ability, I would have to kinda admit I do."

"... It's okay..." she said with her dull face. "Today you've shown me there's more to the data of the condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter, including the capacity for growth, reproduction, functional activity, and continual change preceding death. So I'm confident that there's a positive outcome to this."

Tedashii looked back at the girl that glazed from across the distance, "You mean...life?"

"Thank you." Akahana noted, nodding her head assuring gratitude.

"But why?"

The power suddenly shifted back on the area from where Tedashii and Akahana stood from. From within the underground district shop there wasn't a single soul, in sight. the light flickered from the distance afar from them.

Tedashii and Akahana look left and right and then stare deeply at the black void space from afar. It was quiet but a dark sensation feeling tingly down Tedashii's spine.

"Tedashii, Tedashii, Tedashii, what the hell ya, doing boy." A familiar voice echoed across from the dark section of the underground district shopping center.

Tedashii completely froze in shock, as the voice got louder, and clearer.

"No, it can't be?" Tedashii said in disbelief, the situation clouded Tedashii's mind so far that he felt he thought he was hallucinating.

"Oh yeah it is!"

"I ..I killed you!! I killed you! I KILLED YOU!!!"

Akahana looked up at Tedashii, completely surprised.

The light continues flickering on and off until it slowly adjusts and finally turns on, the blink of the past appears as if it was a ghost of a horror film.

"You son of a bitch, you thought you did!" A malicious man from the shadows of death from hell appears before Tedashii Hamasaki, a flash from the past, a man of science. A certain scientific dark experiment, a certain scientific Kihara. "Long time no see boy!" The shadows of Academy City's dark side finally reaches Tedashii.

"Kih-Kihara Akuma!" Tedashii is confronted by the demon of science. This tall man who was in his late thirties, chestnut kept slicked back style hair, rubbed his hand against his stubble beard, then smiled maliciously as his golden chain necklace tangled around his neck. "How?! Every researcher of the Dark May project was killed."

"Oh Tedashii your first attempt murder, of course you where gonna make a mistake. You should have just let miss Umidori do all the work thanks to her I'm the last researcher left of the Dark May Project." Akuma confirms snuggling his shoulders.

"How did you manage to get in here!?"

"Man you're not happy to see me huh? Well you little bastard, I manage to see my way in the same way everyone found themselves out."

"...That is futile, and cannot be done in any possible way for a non Esper..." Akahana quotes shaken her head frantically.

"That's because he does have an Esper, at least with him. Tedashii answered, "Whatever targeted us, knew about one of us and used this lockdown as a way to separate us from the crowd."

"That's right! Now that's the IQ boy I'm proud of that made me take you in." Akuma said snapping his fingers once.

"Don't you dare go there!"

"Don't I? Ha! You can't say anything to me! When I found you, this city threw you away after the amazing IQ potential you displayed to them after you was confirmed to be an abandoned level 0. You and I were gonna prove we're gonna rule this city, that we were kings of science. That Amata was just some lucky bitch to get his hands on Accelerator! Accelerator was already a built in success there was nothing scientific needed for that little rat, but you and those selected choices would have been a masterpiece! A true journey to science! And then you went and FUCK THAT ALL UP!! You little rat pieces of shit went and fuck everything up! That little whore Kuroyoru Umidori! Then you, oh boy I couldn't believe you! You and Kuroyoru really went and put us in the grave, literally! But boy karma is sure a bitch! Ain't that right?!"

"Tch! Damn you Kihara!!" Tedashii uproar In furious rage, his temper broke free clenching his fist biting his lips in so hard that blood freely escaped his mouth. Tedashii's face shift into that of an murder of unfinished business.

"Oh that ain't good, you know what Tedashii, this is unhealthy of our relationship. I still see you as a worthy name of the Kihara name so how about this, I'mma run up and beat the living shit out of ya how's that sound. Ugghhaaaa!!" Kihara Akuma charged at the two balling up his left hand forming a left hook.

"...Anger level is engaging! System enter safety concision!" Akahana alerted herself by forming a self defense stance.

"Get out the way!!" Tedashii yelled out pushing Akahana away from him. "Run! Akuma isn't a fighter he's buffing!"

Tedashii tried to form a stance, but his timing was too short Akuma ran up and duck down forming an uppercut. Tedashii managed to at least prepare his hand to cover his chin so he could block and counter. But something begins to digitally morph into Akuma hands, as coding of digitalization forms that from a computer to reality. That scientific visualization turned into a metal glove. Akuma successfully lands his uppercut lifting Tedashii into the air. Tedashii felt his brain literally bounce, almost causing concussion. Tedashii felt tremble after his feet touched the ground causing him to tumble over. He quickly rose up only to get a gut punch. Tedashii immediately spit out an enormous amount of blood getting lunch back.

"You know Tedashii, you're not that all a fancy fighter neither. Come on! That's not all you got!!" Akuma said, raising his metallic arm glove into the air as digital coding symbols form into matter into their very own eyes, into something else into a M60 machine gun.

Akuma let loose the whole chip at Tedashii who had already quickly pulled out the Malice weapon trying to deflect them as a shield while running towards the same game counter from earlier. Tedashii mange to escape the firearm attack by front flipping, taking cover in the game counter. The Malice was completely useless as Tedashii looked at the blood on his shoulder noticing he was shot. Tedashii suddenly heard the phantom sound of digital coding activating once more.

"You see the potential you possessed Tedashii! After all you made this program, the imagining program 'virtual reality digital code-breaker!'"

Suddenly Tedashii could hear a plummet noise, in fear and jumped out with his instinct being accurate as the custom metallic glove dive into the counter blowning up. The recoiled did a number on Tedashii as he was whipped back into complete defeat. All Tedashii could see was his blood, and fire on the side, all he could taste was blood. Akuma walked up on Tedashii, beating up look, and started kicking him.

"Don't worry you son of a bitch I'm not gonna kill you, oh no, that be too easy. No I'm gonna kill that little cunt Umidori, then I'm gonna find the rest of those Guinea pig rats and finish what the fuck I started. Then I'm gonna make a golden mine of success outta all ya! Then I'm gonna make a recon outta you, and make you into something else! I won't give up on you. You bet your sweet little ass I won't give up on my prodigy. Because failure and reconciliation is the essence of science! So get the fuck up you bastard we got work to finish."

Tedashii struggles to gasp air, he launches a weak futile punch at the man's foot. The scientists growl and sigh annoyed at the latter.

Suddenly a girl drifted towards Tedashii's aid into the air from behind Akuma, who easily evaded her attack. Akahana engages Akuma who swiftly evades her punches.

"Ohh! So you know combat too?! Akuma knees Akahana in the gut with ease. She flew up as Akuma followed slamming her into the ground. Saliva escaped her mouth as he put her in a chokehold.

"Don't touch her!!! Tedashii yells out furious, rising himself with will alone charging his fist towards Akuma.

Akuma freed Akahana from his chokehold, throwing her into the air, then unleashed his digital coding rocket metallic fist at her. She hit the wall being blown back from the recoiled damage, this interrupted Tedashii's one chance of a clean hit missing. Akuma laughed, then followed up combo his attacks at Tedashii.

"Come now you can't be serious? What you give shit about this little toy, that is a harboring life form that only exists because of the 70% technology implanted into her, she has no true qualities of humanity. What the fuck? You thought you can turn this little hook into a sex bot, Gya hahahaha?! You filthy bastard, bwahahaha!! I guess that's my fault for never teaching ya how to fuck!"

Tedashii flew into his back, spitting out blood to prevent himself from choking. He rolled himself over before he spit out any more blood. He clawed over to Akuma foot and pleaded "Please,"

"Huh?"

"She did nothing... She's a victim to this city that didn't even volunteer to the dark side like a pathetic son of a villain like me."

"Villain? Ha, are those the words from you or the first rank Esper's wishes towards clones?" Akuma's question froze Tedashii in shock, making him feel defeated mentally and physically by Akuma. "You don't even know what the fuck you dealing with, I knew it, you really are that Code Vader terrorist! Alright since you already know too much of Academy City I guess a little more couldn't hurt after all I'm not planning to kill you. Let me tell you the story of Orihime 2."
