Chapter 6.1 - A Certain Clash! Railgun V.S Move Point (Index Bonus)
Event that happened Before Code Vader's final fight with a Certain Scientific Devil...
Back within Tokiwadai middle school dormitory. The sun descended, darkening the sky.
Shirai is sitting in the bathroom wrapping herself in bandages after ointment and rubbing alcohol. "Ssss!! Ahh." Kuroko cried out in pain from her wounds. "Uiharu, thanks for hiding out at the branch office for me to find some intel." Kuroko said talking on her cellphone to the girl on the other line.
"It's no big deal, and besides your school Tokiwadai is a lot more strict compare to the mine." The small girl who sports short black hair and has golden-brown eyes with a headband made out of artificial flowers said, while typing and having her eyes locked towards the pc screen. "Shirai-San Are you alright? There's a limit to what first-aid kits can do, you know! You can leave the rest up to me, so shouldn't you go to the hospital?"
"It is not your concern, even if you report me I won't be left out of this! Besides, have you started investigating?"
"Ah yes. She's a teleportation type Esper just like you Shirai-San. I was able to find the results in the database. Since the ability to teleport is rare. I'll send you a photo over." Uiharu said, sending a profiled message to Shirai's high tech tablet.
Shirai stretches out the thin plastic paper as a visual display brightens within. "Yeah... there's no mistaking it, this is her." Shirai confirms looking at the profile picture of Musujime Awaki.
"Musujime Awaki, a second-year Level 4 from Kirigaoka girl's High school. It seems the details of this so-called teleporter's abilities are slightly different from yours Shirai-San. You're the type who can move things that you touch. While Musujime is the type that can move things without touching them. Her starting point isn't fixed."
"That's why her ability is called Move Point. Any other information?"
"Umm... the database says that a teleporter cannot teleport other teleporters. It's not just Musujime, it seems to be the case for all teleporters. Is that correct, Shirai-San?"
"Who knows this the first time I've met another teleporter."
"Oh, and there's also some information regarding a particular experiment. Two years ago Musujime Awaki power went out of control during a class and suffered severe injuries."
Shirai paused one frustratedly and frowned with an anxious look. As she thought to herself, "My limit is 130.7 KG at once... Musujime's power far surpasses my own, and with capabilities to teleport without contact gives her more than enough variety... for an Esper of that degree to be stuck at level 4. There must be extenuating circumstances..."
"I also located the victims of the briefcase thief. We also read their memories using a psychic, but they didn't know what was in the briefcase..."
"Transport shop you mean street pros? The fact that a damage report wasn't disclosed means there is a cover up taking place behind the scenes. Not to mention what happened during the same time around the sudden shut down from district 7 underground center. To cover their tracks. This would leave their background unknown even if you witnessed the assault, Shirai-San there's no doubt that people from outside Academy City were involved. Perhaps there is an outside organization going on against Academy City."
"A hostile outsider organization? If she's connected to something like this just who is Musujime Awaki? Now that I think about it, she was sitting on that briefcase the entire time while we were fighting..." Shirai started annoyingly grinning.
"Umm... in that regard, the reports are still confirming but..."
"What is it?" Shirai said, beginning to focus on the task at hand again.
"Musujime is apparently a guide to the windowless building. The headquarters for Academy City's Supervising Board Chairman..." Uiharu confirms leaving Kuroko on the other line shook.
"That's a urban legend right?"
"That's right? But it's true Musujime is frequently absent from Kirigaoka girls high school! And her absence are all special exemptions. If the exemptions aren't for judgement activities, it could be anything."
The tree diagram was destroyed a long time ago.
"If that rumor is true, there's a possibility that Musujime and others could've gotten their hands on otherwise unobtainable information if they find out how to put it in good use... Data Mine! She said something about some kind of Data Mine, could that have been a leak of information, no she said whatever that tree diagram would reach it's true capabilities with Data Mine, Uiharu! I need you too..." Shirai stopped mid-sentence when she heard her dorm room door opening. "I'm hanging up for the moment!"
"Huh? Shirai-San..." Uiharu said getting cut off by Kuroko hanging up on her.
Kuroko hurried limping towards the bathroom door locking herself inside and turning off the lights, placing her back against the door.
"Kuroko?" The girl on the side of the door applied an answer while also placing her back against the door.
"Oh hi Onee-Sama!" Kuroko's answer back, already counting for her misfortune for Misaka's early return.
"Why're you in the bath? Misaka said, a little puzzled. "You should turn on the lights if you're home."
"I-I'm saving energy. I'm an environmentally-friendly person, you know."
"... I see... but since when is the main power source for Academy City, there's no commission?"
"... Oh, is that so? Geez... I had been thinking about using that as a pretext for mood lighting so that I could assault Onee-Sama in the darkness but now..."
"Owwwww!!" Misaka whimpers annoyed at Kuroko's advances.
"Ugh!? Goddess Onee-Sama ~♥~ using another unladylike phrase like that!" Kuroko said with a faint smile that slowly drained down to sorrow. As Musujime's words echoed within her head.
"Oh my you didn't know? If you didn't know then your motivation... isn't the same as hers huh? Tokiwadai's Railgun sure is something, huh? A sudden tragic jam that forces us to resort to running down the shopping center, maybe just theoretically speaking isn't that something Tokiwadai's Ace could easily cause with her ability."
"Onee-Sama where were you until now?"
"Mikoto Misaka also has it ruff, thanks to a certain someone destroying the tree diagram her nightmare should have ended. But if we're to be repaired then that experiment would start all over again... well it's not as if I understand those feelings."
"Hm?" Misaka awkwardly gestures, gasping her breath before choosing her next words. She fiddles her feet together and saids, "There was this accessory that I wanted to buy... I've been looking for it lately. But even so I couldn't find it. I came back here because there was something that I forgot. I'll be heading back out for a bit."
".... I see." Kuroko said with a similar response to Misaka's. "If I could please say a few words, I would also like to help..." Kuroko pauses as if she could sense a dark vibe behind the bathroom door from the level 5, and chooses her next words carefully. "It would be good if it doesn't rain. The weather forecast hasn't been accurate lately." Kuroko already realized that dark electric vibe wasn't for her.
"That's right. Thanks for your concern. Kuroko I'll do everything I can to return quickly." Misaka said leaving the room.
Kuroko felt disgust, best friends that ended up lying to one another. What was this secret and why did her best friend have to tackle it alone.
Misaka walks down the hallway as an electrical current starts to swift up her hair. Not long she already made her way outside. Using her electric powers she hacked a number of electronic devices and bypassed normal electronic security measures with ease gathering information from the tree diagram. Despite having the opportunity to look up Data Mine, Misaka did not have the time to gather everything. She gathered up just enough to know where they were heading next.
Towards a construction site Kihara Akuma, Musujime Awaki and the science association make their way through.
"Okay that should be everything, the connector to Data Mine. Data Mine itself, and the briefcase. We have everything we need." Musujime said, strolling the suitcase.
"Yes, indeed we need to hurry up though, thanks to you for not dropping that fucking judgement rat now we have another fuck problem heading our way!" Akuma said, annoyed.
"Said the guy having no problem sparing that level zero weirdo."
"Are you fucking kidding me you're the one that said let's keep Em alive, and besides he'll turn over to our side soon. I know that punk ass rat, we will definitely switch, that little punk don't care about this bot. He's conviction and desires are far more superior than mere pathetic compassion, and morals. He might be a little soft but he ain't no retard. Unlike you I have a strap of plans line up, seriously what you see in that Judgement rat bitch?" Akuma questions cross-eyed.
"She'll do the same. I just have a feeling alright."
"Sup, guys I survived." A man with shades appeared in a suit and tie. Along with scientists. "This scientist finally decoded the blueprint to the Connector for Data, something that you could have done! But well things worked out at the end."
Akuma pulled out a gun on the two, "You fucking pest! Decode! I didn't ask you to hack the device! The incubator has to be adjusted carefully! None of you scums would be able to get the cryptic message! Only my successor can pull that off! So tell me what the fuck you really been doing?"
"Akuma stop!" Musujime yelled out but the ruthless Kihara ignore her pleds
The second scientist quivery lifted one of his fingers and said "We been..."
"Nothing too bold really, come now If he were to do anything stupid he would have never showed his face. By the way, that's an interesting way to retaliate. Why would you need to still wield a hand gun, when you can use that odd program. Tell me does that thing have a weakness?" Cash said lowering as his shades shine at Akuma."
"Don't speak of what you know American! You should really be working on your fucking language because it's ass!" Akuma said now pointing his gun at Cash.
"Can we all stop fighting!! We have a mission to focus on!" Musujime yelled that he was instantly interrupted by a fickle Arcade Coin.
The Arcade coin shines bright within the lunar atmosphere. As it slowly drops down into a girl's position finger. The Esper girl fires the metal coin at three times the speed of sound by forming parallel currents on both sides of her arm with her electricity.
Musujime ducked barely evading the Super Electromagnetic Cannon while some of the other men in suits were blown back. Dispute not even getting hit by the attack, the whiplash of impact lunch some of the men in suits unconscious.
A static absent looking girl emerged towards them walking up, as her body was swarmed up by electricity.
"Fuck!" Akuma said. "What did you do!" Akuma looks back over to Musujime who waver her hand.
"Nothing she would have done otherwise after all she can't afford for her nightmare to return. Isn't that right Rank 3rd, Level 5 Tokiwadai's Ace, the Railgun Mikoto Misaka!"
"The strongest Electromaster?! Cash said getting up anxiously excited. "I'm a big fan!! Can I get a electric autograph?" Cash waves his arms around like a cheerleader only for Misaka to respond by generating a spear of lightning from out her forward head and launching it at Cash. Cash was blown back into the wall. "Well Damn I guess hate paparazzi..."
"Nowhere just taking a look at her true colors." Musujime noted pulling out her Corkscrews.
"Come on? Do you think I would just let you aim your teleport moves!" Misaka Swiftly dances around her electricity at Musujime, only for Musujime to focus it on her allies she swift her flashlight teleporting them from within the construction site. Then teleported three rebars above Misaka.
"Don't get cocky level 5!" An absent grinned form at Musujime as she said, "I have the potential to reach level "5", if I really wanted to! And not to mention we have a expert scientist... Akuma?" Musujime said in disbelief that he abandoned them. "That coward!"
"It seems you're right about that at least." Misaka confirms twirling and using her electricity to conduct electromagnetism to attract and repel metallic rebars above Musujime perfectly locking her in. "Those sisters aren't inhuman cowards like you guys!! Haaaaaaaa!" Misaka followed up empowering electricity to conduct more electromagnetism, to manipulate iron sand. The black current rises and twirls into the air like a black tornado shredding as much of the site.
Musujime tried to teleport a rebar into the tornado only for it to get shredded up into harboring dust. "Tch the iron sand is vibrating ten times stronger than a chainsaw! She really is trying to kill me!?" Musujime was puzzled by Misaka's moves. The Musujime was lifted by the current pressure of the vacuum. In fear she attempted to escape to safety as she realized a level 5 and a level 4 are nowhere near the same level.
"So this is a level 5?!" Cash said with the others watching the black tornado. "Amazing! Truly amazing!"
The black deadly tornado suddenly stopped, and spread away from a reveal Misaka holding out one hand with electricity in it. Despite some rebars being torn apart, a few were attached in vertical ways attached to one another by electromagnetism. As Musujime falls, Misaka runs up the bars with electromagnetism.
"Go ahead look at me that way! Look at me like the monster I am!" Misaka said in rage, "But I won't let this city hurt them anymore! And my friend that you ruthlessly struck! I'll never forgive you for that!" Misaka reaches Musujime preparing to launch a electricity punch, but Musujime jumps off one of the rebars Escaping Misaka's reach.
Musujime lands on her feet and proceeds to run away.
Misaka quickly lands back on the deranged attached rebars siding back down. Once touching the ground one of the men in suits hiding in the construction building teleported to Misaka wiping his handgun out only to easily get blasted away by a railgun. Misaka starts to hold about eight arcade coins rolling them around in her hand. "Come on out cowards! How long are you planning to sneak around?"
A pop in sound effect ring as a man yelled out "Gyaaaa!!" A shadow emerges only to get struck down by a spear of electricity!"
"Don't worry I'm saving these for the teleporter!" Misaka said while creating a ring electrical current perfectly striking the other men in suits within the construction building. A few dozens teleported at the same time. However she swift her hand while moving in a circle shocking all of them simultaneously.
"Damn it, we'll have to split! She can't chase us all!" Cash said, trying to advise his comrades a plan.
"Fufufu don't worry about it! She wants me, you heard her and besides we can't afford to find out what else she could possibly do." Musujime revealed herself to her teammates. "I got a plan. But you guys won't like it."
"Let me guess it has something to do with using us like pawns?"
"COME ON OUT! Last warning... Misaka said, raising her hand into the air. "It's no use I can sense and release electromagnetic waves around to enable to see the image of where you're hiding three-dimensionally without the use of sight, giving her no blind spots. So I know you're there!"
Kuroko teleported around the dark alleyways of Academy City until she spotted blue light flashing in a dark area.
Kuroko teleported behind a corner wall to her surprise to see Misaka in the mid center charging electricity.
"I didn't intend to sneak around. But I can't afford to get caught here. I'll be escaping!" Musujime appeared above Misaka standing at the top floor of the old construction building.
"You can't. You're aware of it too, right?" Misaka said, smirking while flinging the Arcade coins in her palm. "You have the habit when it comes to your ability. You're using your Move Point to toss the bodies of your allies and others around as you please. But you're running away from foot. You won't teleport your own body! It's probably related to that incident in the database!!"
Musujime's eyes twitch with Misaka's statement. She clenched her fist and glared down at Misaka holding the briefcase.
"Speaking hypothetically. But what if your need to recheck your calculations because of your anxiety causes a time lag of two-three seconds exactly. A three second window." Misaka confirms rolling up her Arcade coins in her fingers. Swiping and aiming at Musujime. "I wonder, how many shots can I fire?"
Musujime took a deep breath then smiled, and started to giggle until it turned to a wicked laugh. "Ufufufufu, aren't you the one who seems to be in a hurry? Are you scared of remnant being reconstructed? Or maybe you're scared of the experiment restarting? Hmm even though it'd be fine to leave such things alone. Weren't those things created just for the stake of the experiment anyways if so, then they were meant to be broken. After all, aren't you the same as me? Fighting to satisfy those emotions; regret, sorrow and anger.... you're selfish in the end but you look at me as if I was the villain."
"Anger, villain... maybe I am. That it took me this long to make the stand that I'm putting up tonight, and that night before. I'm angry. Angry to the point the blood vessels in my head are about to burst. That idiot. Did she think I wouldn't have noticed. I could tell just from hearing her voice through that door. Such... Such an ... Awful ... Dammit I'm angry!!" Electrical burst out Misaka as she clenched her fist.
"Angry at getting my kouhai involved!! Anger at the piece of trash I see in front of me!! And anger at myself for creating this situation!"
Musujime swift her flashlight back and forth, dropping more rebars at her to no use as Misaka's electromagnetism counter sticking them together.
"Such a weak shield!!" Misaka said, wiping out and aiming three Arcade coins locked towards Musujime, only for her to realize within the rebars the unconscious men in suits were together within that drop.
"Quick question?" Musujime asks with a ruthless smile, "How many civilians are mixing in this attack?!"
Misaka stops her railgun attempt and switches to using electromagnetism to connect and save the men in suits. With that Misaka was distracted and once she looked up Musujime teleported herself, disappearing from her site.
"What?! She actually did it! Tch!!" Misaka ran off trying to find and locate her next lead.
Kuroko's who listened from the shadows shed a tear and smiled.
"Onee-Sama your words just now conveyed enough... about how much you really cared for me... Even so your idiotic kouhai can't turned her back after deciding to fight to the bitter end... now I get it Onee-Sama! Now, let's go, shirai Kuroko to the finale!" Kuroko said teleporting away.
