"They say the board chairman Aleister Crowler, always moves multiple plans concurrently while coming up with an alternative option for each of them. You could say he came up with a possible alternative for the Tree Diagram in case a meteorite would just come crashing down. But let's say that idea was already thought of but wasn't put into motion until now... Hey, are you even listening? You little shit!" Kihara Akuma said, sitting aside from the beaten down Tedashii. He then kicked Tedashii's head trying to get a reaction from him only to get ignored.

Tedashii could physically stand but his legs refused to let him. His conscience told him to act but his body ignored his pleas. And most of all his thoughts told him to save himself, but his eyes locked towards the frail Akahana. But more importantly Tedashii had to make a decision.

Akuma pulls up his lab coat sleeve and looks at the time that ticks from his watch. "Hmm, okay yeah there's plenty of time left." Akuma stood up and stared down maliciously at Tedashii, posing his arms and hands up like a super villain, "The Tree Diagram is known as Orihime 1. I'm pretty sure you at least heard of that from this robot. You might have even been encountered, by a lockdown info protocol, ABA-Alpha code I'm assuming. The tree diagram was perfect but it was nearly impossible to govern Academy city's dark secrets without worrying about things being leaked or hacked. You see Academy City can't trust data because it's information that informs anyone who lays eyes on it. Last month the railgun discovered the level 6 shift experiment to have the 1st rank esper Accelerator reaching level 6 by having him slaughter 20,000 clones. Then there's Code Vader which apparently is or maybe you who attempted to display the Tree Diagram's data across the media with hacking capabilities. Might have succeeded if for not the tree diagram's destruction. This proves that bringing back the satellite is dangerous itself! Not without an upgrade of course.

"Don't be so absurd!" Tedashii barley said in a pitch looking back at Akuma. "No matter how many upgrades and firewalls that Academy City improves if possible, that Satellite will always get hacked. No ... matter what. Even if you kill a pathetic bastard like me someone else with another objective would, even if they are just bored as long as the tree diagram has a code it will always be tempter with."

"Yes of course, and you're absolutely right! But... What if the Diagram was now a new form? The form of an Esper? Something that does not require technical code online support to function, but rather its own type of signal something that is of tech but impossible to hack as it does not apply the same rules as other technical support."

"What?" Tedashii stared puzzled at Akuma as if he wasn't crazy enough.

"It's called Data Mine."

"Data Mine?" Tedashii repeats Akuma's answer puzzled at the Akahana that tilted her head away from him in shame.

"Oh what?! You didn't know? So you were taking robots on dates after all, how pathetic bwahaha haha! Hmph well anyways that said ability Data Mine is a very unique ability I would have to say so myself and so far the only of its kind that I know of. It's similar to that of mental out's ability, deriving from the control of secretion chemicals in the target's brain, blood distribution, and cerebrospinal fluid, instead of controlling bio-electricity directly. But in this style of manner Data Mine allows the user to create and analyze any electronic device on a telepathic level, it expands a radius diffusion field as the signal kinda like WiFi or a local Bluetooth, then once connected each is capable of analyzing the programming language. C programming language, source code, you fucking name it! All it takes is a little calculation from the Hexadecimal formula then your all set. But of course this little bot is a low level 1 esper, incapable of achieving such standards at the level it's in. But with the resources similar to coffins or the level upper I'm pretty sure rising it's level shouldn't be difficult."

"What does that have to do with the tree diagram?"

"Where turning Data Mine into a satellite for the Tree Diagram into an Esper idea ability. Shouldn't be hard once we steal it from Aca-I mean Academy City would easily befitted from this and would hand us numerous of ways to transfer Esper abilities into machinery, a few days ago Hishigata Mikihiko, and his large mobile Coffin weapons was trashing shit up, well that was until the first rank intervened. So dispute whether it lives or dies does not matter as long as we have it!"

"It?!" Tedashii spits some of his blood at Akuma. Balling up his fist picking up an inch of strength to crawl away from the mad scientist slowly trying to make his way to Akahana. "Bastards! You filthy bastards!" All Tedashii could conjure up. She said it herself, she was a droid nothing more nothing less but..."

Akuma shrugs and sighs as he begins to crack his neck. "Come on, make this easy. At least progress of what we're trying to do. This isn't just for some private database for the tree diagram. This is an evolution to science! We need the new tree diagram, no more interruptions, no more errors. With the new improved Diagram our secrets won't be leaked and a successful Dark May Project, Tedashii!! You will finally be an Esper! So give up on these shenanigans. I'll get you what you truly want. And for the love of fucks stake don't stab me in the neck with a scalpel."

"Fu, fufu, Hahaha!" Tedashii begins to uncontrollably laugh in agony. He lifted his face from off the ground with his knees being what held him up, and continued to laugh. "You haven't changed since your supposed death Akuma!" Tedashii said in a sadistic tone.

"Tch, what the hell ya thinking now?"

"You ruined my life Akuma! Do you really think I'll help you! Hahaha!!" Tedashii stops himself mid sentence holding his mouth and trying to control the inner demon within. He lowered his head, and shed a tear in shame.

"Don't do it." Akuma warns with a confident smirk. "No matter whatever option you choose your ass is grass. It's either cooperate or die!"

"How about, fuck you!" Tedashii looked back up at Akuma with a cold stare, his hand that held his phone was already active, he touched his touch screen phone icon, and the lights within the underground shopping center completely turned off.

Akuma could here gate doors shifting open, a way out.

"Son of a bitch! Don't bother Tedashii! You're not the only one that can hack tech boy!!" An alerting siren sound could be heard all around the scientists. Akuma became extremely nervous and shaken back up in disbelief. "Impossible! Anti Skill shouldn't be able to act among the darkness of Academy City! That's impossible that little rat bastard won't dare take down his own name as well!" Akuma could hear some rolling momentum drifts then jump back away dodging a net. "Damn you!" Akuma reactivated his virtual programmer Turing a hologram MG assault rifle into reality, he began letting the whole clip rip in the direction the net came from.

The power came back on to reveal to be a cylindrical metal container with rollers underneath for mobility with a green circular device that in the front seems to glow red when alarmed.

"Security Bots!" Akuma confirms and also noticed there were no Anti-Skill members aside from them. The Cylinder droids begin to drift circling the scientists. Akuma looks closely at the green Light and notices a V shape shades emblem within. "That clever little snick, Hahaha!! Not bad Tedashii you almost had me with that you must have hacked as many droids all around Academy city for such cases such as this, and had them planned and ready on your command the day you would be in a tight spot. Security robots purposes are to patrol duty's or handle ne'er-do-wells. Most importantly, the robot is part of Anti-Skill's strategy, and is used in front of formations before an Anti-Skill personnel, as well as a barrier during firefights. So in case you use these to put a scare to the dark side of Academy City. I could waste ammunition all day one these sons of bitches but since they are also used as barriers for Anti-Skill they could imply that it is strong enough to withstand some bullet fire. So I'm guessing while I was beating the shit out of ya! You were entering a source code to bring them here, and but time to open the gates with your wifi hacker. Then you turned off the lights so you could lose sight of you in the commotion. Hmph but you forgot! I know your bitch ass more than anyone in this whole fucking city so I know what you're planning on do next!!"

While Akuma screamed and continued to fire pointlessly at the Security robots, Tedashii who already placed Akahana arm around his shoulder to have a grip and walk him and her out of the Underground Shopping district, Tedashii smiled as he could see the light a little further ahead.

"Where almost there, just hang in there for a little more."

"... I'm ... sorry." Akahana said in a weak pitch voice.

"Huh?" Tedashii's eyes met with the weak Akahana.

"... For ... making you believe something that is not true, typically in order to gain some personal advantage.."

"What!?"

"... I know you ... don't feel safe around Espers..."

"Oh that." Tedashii felt relief as if he was expecting something else. "Oh, don't scare me like that I thought you were gonna say something like you sent him towards me. You not having an ability wouldn't have changed anything that happened today."

"But ... you said to that girl ... earlier... that you feel an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat, from Espers."

"Oh, you heard about that. Haha," Tedashii giggled a little at the girl and smiled as he looked towards the light of dusk. "I can't believe you were worried about me being scared of a technical Esper ability not to mention you're a level 1."

"... But."

"Wow are you really a droid?"

Akahana paused and then canceled her next comment, then nodded.

"Never mind." Tedashii said, scratching his head. And giggle once more.

"... Your spontaneous sounds and movements of the face and body that are the instinctive expressions of lively amusement are different than before... The sounds you display while endangered are...frightening..."

"Oh, that." Tedashii paused and thought about what to say next. He sighs then looks towards the light, "You know I'm pathetic. And I guess there is no point in hiding it now that it's exposed from that encounter. That reaction was someone else. That side of me was the aftermath of the Dark May Project."

"...The Dark May Project ... an illegal experiment that used subjects who were most likely Child Errors, in an effort to replicate Accelerator's powers by using a similar pattern of ability operation... This was done by referencing the cognitive patterns of Accelerator himself in order to optimize the personal realities of certain espers taking part in the experiment..."

"I see, so you really do have what's left of the tree diagram. That's why you were in that pod huh?"

"... I wish I could tell you... but my access code must be indefinite first..."

"That's okay it's oblivious why you were there now. Do you really wanna go back to that pod?"

"... Yes... I have nowhere else to go... and I don't want you to get into any more trouble ...

"There has to be somewhere Akahana you have to choose somewhere else."

"... It would take time for me to process another lab."

Tedashii clenched his fist and wondered why it had to be a lab.

"Let's leave Academy City together." Tedashii said, sweating with no other idea. "Don't worry I hate Academy City I don't mind! I will shut the power off while Akuma is busy dealing with all the roadblocks and light shut downs. I'll then do a signal block so we can head back to my place and pack... no that might be too late, there might be backup waiting at my dorm. We'll just run, catch a bus or something then we'll get more clothes.

Akahana stumbled over as Tedashii barely caught her. She closed her eyes and began to breath heavily. Tedashii panic sweating and spasming.

"What's wrong! What's wrong with you!" Tedashii cried out.

"... The danger level of this occurring situation levels 100%... ... ... Our survival rate 39% but depositing me will increase your chance of survival to 88%." She confirms taking in as much breath as possible.

"Look I'll figure something out don't underestimate me I'll save you! I might be a level 0 but I think I can handle this! I promise I won't let them get you! No I promise I won't let them make me let go of y..." before Tedashii finished his sentence a sudden popping noise rang and Akahana vanished from his sight. Tedashii froze in shock in disbelief of his failure.

The cause of this ironic moment, a Kirigaoka Academy student with long dark red hair tied into two low ponytails. wearing the Kirigaoka Girls' Academy uniform's dark blue coat over her shoulders like a cape, with bandages covering her breasts and a pleated skirt. She smiles maliciously at the foolish Tedashii.

Tedashii finally made his way to the front gates with only one task to climb the stairs out only for some teenage girl sitting on a briefcase with a military flashlight in her hand to mess everything up. Tedashii couldn't believe this, was this some joke? He thought to come face to face with his worst nightmare and barely escaped with Akahana only for some trick with a flashlight waving it around like some fairy to cast Akahana away from his hands. All his hard work and struggles are foiled by an Esper yet again.

Tedashii dropped to his knees as Akuma appeared and walked past Tedashii.

"Well, well, I thought you were gonna have some Esper battle with that goodie good Judgement."

"She was weaker than I thought but I shouldn't expect much from an Esper with a downgrade version to my ability. Anyways is that really the infamous Code Vader? He looks weak."

Akuma looks back at the broken spirit Tedashii annoyed then back at the Esper. "Naw I was wrong, Meltdown really did kill-em. This pervert clown came across the item, once it began to wander around Academy City."

"Haha, how pathetic, the little punk promised to hold his hands to her and blip just like that he failed miserably. Don't feel too bad, you must be a level 0 with that display, and I do find it indeed unfair. Spare him Akuma, we already won, there's no need to do harm to him anymore."

"Is that so, Whatever I wasn't planning to kill him anyways." Akuma picks up the unconscious Akahana heading towards the dark alley side away from district 7."

"Tch!" Tedashii burst into rage as he assumed she was mocking him, just because she was blessed with Esper powers. He quickly got up and ignored all the pain, clenched and swang at the girl. She only smiled and waved her flashlight at him.

She focuses all her attention towards the flashlight aiming at the furious Tedashii and effortlessly teleports him right above the stairs making him tumble down the stairs in instant defeat.

"Bye, bye." She said getting from the suitcase and began to stroll away.

"Who are you..." Tedashii said before passing out.

The girl looked back and smiled and said "it's Musujime Awaki, you nobody." She strolls the briefcase leaving aside Kihara Akuma.
