"So you were only there to save your friend?"
The unruly neck length reddish brown hair repeats the simple story. Tapping his finger at his close folder.

"Let me guess you don't believe me?" Said the wavy brown hair boy with a casket strap to keep his arm position properly for recovery. His sarcastic remark had no effect on the young prince detective.

"Nah... it's not that. Of course I do... No seriously, I truly believe you. This isn't the first case where the high schooler played the bizarre protagonist that acts like a mid-aged adult, while somehow ridiculously placing the absurd responsibilities and faults upon themselves."

It was the typical interrogation scene you see in movies, though the problem was only the side characters were actually trying to sell the scene.

"What the hell that's supposed to mean? HeRo BoY?"

"Eh, I think it means what it means. You're the typical boring harem protagonist. Just like every other male protagonist from shonen manga."

"You're the one to talk! You put me on blast!" Tedashii mocks cartoonishly putting up a poker face.

"You put yourself on blast. No one told you to voice your opinion... Let me guess, you're the type that always blames your misfortune endeavors upon others. You know girls really don't like that."

"Why you! Hmph! It went like this right? What's a hero?! Those who take on injustice acts in the name of justice are cowards. Afraid to show their face to the world among the light. That's you!" Tedashii said cartoonishly pointing at Akira.

"Never trust general impressions, my guy, but concentrate yourself, upon details."

"Now Sherlock Holmes? Seriously? What kind of protagonist are you? You copyright bastard."

"Aaaaahhhhh!!!!" Akira grabbed his chest if he was about to have a heart attack and cartoonishly tumbled over.

Tedashii could tell that he hit a nerve from Akira Takahashi's closed eyes, fake grin expression. After he lifts himself back in his seat properly he quickly retaliates by quickly wiping out professional reading glasses and opening his folder.
"I know... I know you want to be in a world where you belong. It's okay if they're bad people, it's okay if they hurt you every once in a while. You can find the buried light within that darkness and bring many people by your side. We don't need to be level 5 to be together."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!"  Tedashii squealed and cried like a red tomato from the Anti-Skill officers and Akira Takahashi's chuckles.

"You're right! What am I doing?! Rest easy Tedashiiiii I'll take it from here! ✩ HyaaaHyaaaa! ✩ SuPeR Aura ✩ Storm Attack!! ~ Oh my I can't wait for vol 3!" Akira teases pressing his glasses.

"Woah Aaaaaaaaaa!!!" Tedashii continued to squeal. "Why!! She added that?!!"

As absurd as it sounds, this was the story recap that was received by the only remaining conscious person that wasn't Masato Jun'ichi.
The vigilante Joker disappeared before Akira Takahashi's arrival, Tedashii Hamasaki passed out with his battery dead from his nano gear.
The one who remained standing... was Li Mei Xiaodan. So the only witness and well... Being a member of Judgment Branch 121. She was the best choice of witness ...

Perhaps.

Detective mighty mythical level 4 with S level stats Li Mei Xiaodan Rank 8th Candidate discovered the missing students were kidnapped by a malicious group known as Tardy who was paid by Masato Jun'ichi to capture espers. So Masato can produce an urban legend known as shadow metal. However Masato's theory failed... Li Mei found the base that held captive Eiichi Itō, Fumihiro Yamamoto and other esper victims who were also attacked by the party.

She defeats Tardy and stops Masato and the corrupt experimentation droid that he created as his last ditch effort...

(Oh!)

Tedashii Hamasaki became concerned and anxious that his beloved best friend missed a lot of events and went and followed a trail. Brought an illegal weapon and was incapacitated and kidnapped by Tardy as well. This accordingly happens before Li Mei's confrontation with Tardy and Masato...

Worst thing about this story was that it actually played more in Tedashii's favor from getting in peak trouble.
However, somehow this information expanded throughout the students of the Daihaseisai Festival. Especially Hamasaki's school. Apparently Li Mei boasts about this story and Hisoka Minori was there. Of course Tedashii ambiguously threatened Hisoka with one arm however...
Tedashii remembered that Hisoka is not in fact a Precognition level 3 esper. They were a pyrokinetic esper who can analyze a precognition from body heat temperatures. The angry level 0 Tedashii Hamasaki idiotically forgot that Hisoka can toss fireballs out their hands like a video game character. Quickly scurrying away from all the laughter and hid in his hospital bed.

It was the last time Tedashii Hamasaki made a public appearance for the entire week of the Daihaseisai Festival.

It was now September twenty-fifth.

... Additionally more information ... Was shared by Annaisha Emiyo.
More intel about Mara Grace and her connections with Masato had come to light.
✩ Super ✩ , ✩ Epic ✩ , ✩ Sexy ✩ !!! Annaisha Emiyo ✩ Joined the battle and trilled Mara Grace and discover her and TARDY escape routes, she follow and engage a scuffle and easily defeated the level 0 Mara Grace.
It was noted she defeated her with a single attack.

Also her phone number was added to Akira Takahashi's notes, maybe she's interested to inform him of more useful information? The detective Prince at least thought. 

TARDY was apparently a Skill-Out gang that was assigned these roles by Masato but the tasks grew complicated as time went on.
Mara Grace and Yosuke Jun were both arrested and sent to the Reformatory.
A search on finding the other two have been made.

Masato opens up about his crimes including his motivations.

Akira however wasn't satisfied with the current results.

A private bus drove through the streets of Academy City. The windows were completely tent keeping outsiders from being able to even peek inside.

"So Masato Jun'ichi was the true culprit this whole time. I heard he got along with his students quite well when he was a teacher. I'm very disappointed in him." Isamu vents his frustration, crossing his arms.

"Sadly the students and teachers at that school who were acquainted are quite disturbingly shaken." Akira Takahashi expressed. "Seems they want answers... But not from me. I'll admit that is understandable."

Facing Isamu Akihiro, Akira Takahashi goggled the empty driver seat watching the wheel autopilot . "When you described a private bus, you weren't kidding. A controlled AI powered by electricity that glides forwards without making a single sound." Akira noted out loud.

"Yes I know you've been away from Academic school City, but it's not as if you've haven't been here before."

A cartoonish expression of Akira glanced at annoyed Isamu. "What? What's the big idea with you? Oh what, you're not happy?" Akira said sarcastically while shrugging. "Neither am I. I wonder if I should suspend Xiaodan-San's judgment band? ... No! Rash altercation would stir up an updated process to the remaining loose ends."

"Never mind." Isamu I see you're focused.

"Focus? We need to act fast or maybe it's already too late... It's a possibility we lost. With the information and Masato's confession taking all the blame. A possible real suspect might have gotten off unscathed. I was told everything I already knew. Damn it!! Someone interfered with my plans." Akira complained. A dread dark face exposed from the prince showcasing the darkness within the bright eyes.

"You already knew?"

"How did you even suspect Masato Jun'ichi in the first place? Weren't you the one who made a daring assumption of a group of level 0's behind it all?"

Such claims in public where the whole world is watching, it's like I'm telling them, ("I see you and I'm on you.")
Taking Xiaodan-San of Judgment branch 121 that I conveniently assigned an early position in, just tells me, ("Oh yeah! What are going to do about it?")

"You little bastard! Are you saying that was a trap?!" Isamu, irritated, shouted out. He pulled Akira from his shirt as their eyes met face to face.

"Kekeke! Relax. She was never actually supposed to get abducted. Remember Xiaodan-San ignored my orders. I had a feeling she was irresponsible but I couldn't foresee this. I thought you knew me better than that! Isamu-Senpai?"

"Tch!" Isamu clicked his tongue, loosen his grip and let the young detective go. "I hope you fall to some of the Takahashi family's paths." 

Akira straightens his gym t and shrugs before continuing.
"Skill-Out organizations are failed citizens. This city failed. That is what those types of characters at least think. Anti-Skill, Espers, the adults, even science itself failed them. All this power and they keep it all to themselves from the rest of us. But as I mentioned that type of group needs power so they will search for it however way possible. Weapons, money, numbers however way get them such. Ironically they usually work under someone like a lackey. The question is, who was giving them the call?

"I had done backup info on the halftime show and Masato being a former teacher then researcher interested me. And of course his invention that aimed to improve espers added him as a suspect. I had other suspects but in the end it didn't matter.

"Of course I also had Manami checking and keeping track of any individuals skipping their events. However that plan didn't matter, Grace Mara wasn't on the list, that's due to her actually partaking in her events. As I mentioned before I ran investigations within the areas of when said esper victims were last seen. The damages left of the kidnapping I detected precise cuts, perfected damages, no human being can construct such results.

"However...

"Every location was messy despite taking actions on the low. If Masato didn't mind such loud destruction from TARDY, why didn't he just wait to collect and example the possibility of shadow metal? Why risk so much trouble? It wasn't that he didn't mind the destruction from the weapons but... TARDY couldn't actually control the weapons they had. That's why Mara took part in her events. She was looking for someone smart with her frustrations to join TARDY and help her cause by offering technical support. But why would she need to do that exactly if Masato was the inventor or collaborator? I think Masato taking all the blame is convenient!
"Sure the cause was led by Masato but someone else offered him the resources and power to act upon his plans. Whoever that made be had ulterior motives of their own. That person in fact had the money for the "UFO disks that record data. And the same interest for Shadow Metal. As well as Masato's invention. And most certainly they were here... And they had ties to that illegal CV weapon, whatever CV even means. And gave it to TARDY. Damn it!! There's something truly missing... The name Akira Takahashi... Is no longer enough."

"Huh?!" A puzzled Isamu that tilted his head towards Akira's last statement, shrugs and studies Akira's frustration. "Thinking back the reports mentioned a wary Hamasaki Tedashii got involved. And for a friend at that! Hmm... If those two are making friends, it seems everything Is fine now that Korean woman would be proud."

"Hmm... Isamu-Senpai are you acquainted with Uh Umm... Hamasaki-San right?" Akira guessed, raising one eyebrow.

"Oh no, not really at all." Isamu shrugs.

"Isamu-Senpai keep your guard up. Something absurd might happen today." Akira's warning would be soon answered when Isamu received a phone call.

Isamu would answer it with his bombshell groan. "What? The American, Cash Lucas escaped?"

"Huh?!" Akira Takahashi left a puzzle. That unfortunately news had nothing to do with anything. In fact it was pretty random.

Tedashii's head cartoonishly got hammered by a harmless rolled up beaten old newspaper wielded by a short loli girl with scarlet hair tied in a ponytail.

During the climactic battle with Shadow Rensa, Akahana's life had been put at risk. While in care of the Judgement official Kazari Uiharu. However Akahana was able to make a sudden healthy recovery after the hard difficult battle but the Judgment girl assisted that she be taken to the nearest hospital anyways. Waiting to be discharged after a full recovery her eyes met and locked eyes to see the wavy brunette hair boy whose arm was being treated. He was bleeding pretty badly but it seemed the wound was mysteriously close up, it didn't change the fact the boy had to be treated.

Still in a gym P.E uniform to reflect an image to impress the wavy brunette hair boy who didn't seem to notice. She didn't know where to start, the fact he went missing from the rest of Daihaseisai festival, failing to keep his promise to try his best. Going off and getting himself hurt without asking her for assistance. And rumors flew around that he ditched all that time with the disqualified shoulder length black hair, light sea green eyes and a peony flower, rose headband girl.

Tedashii Hamasaki also well missed the Folk Dance but he heard it didn't matter he heard some unfortunate spiky-hair boy was caught cheating on his injured twin-ponytails girlfriend who sprang from her wheelchair and dropped kicked him. That was the story I guess or whatever... At least it turned out to be bigger than Tedashii's rumors.

But it didn't save him from Akahana Yoko's warth.

"Ahhh!! I get it already! I'm sorry!!" Tedashii cried covering his red printed forehead.

Despite his whimper Akahana finally had an answer where to start, his physical condition.

"... I'm not even sure you're feeling distress, especially through sympathy with someone else's misfortune..." Akahana crosses her arms, as her dull hazelnut eyes darted Tedashii. Tedashii's face would constantly weave Akahana's peering staring head that was cartoonishly chasing him physically and mentally for answers.

" ... As far as one knows or can see Tedashii cannot give a thing said, written, or done to deal with or as a reaction to a question, statement, or situation..."

"It's a long story really!"

" ... You were fighting to save (someone) from a dangerous or distressing situation again? Why didn't you ask me to make it easier for (you) to do something by offering one's services or resources?" Akahana blush, squeezing Tedashii tightly. Akahana's eyes become watery after each rapid blink. She pouted as her cheeks sprouted red like a tomato.

Tedashii studied Akahana's face and grinned.
"I'm sorry Akahana... But don't worry there's no need, I have the entire formula planned out! You don't have to worry about it. Really I have the power to protect you! And I'll protect you, just you from now on."

"I don't want to be preserved from harm, especially by means of formal or legal measures! I don't want that! I never asked you to do that!"

"What?!!" Tedashii froze, puzzled. "But I thought?!" Tedashii remains stunned for a second. The girl that stood in front of him was a short gothic loli with black long hair with bleached blonde-edges.

A hallucination that annoyed Tedashii to a point he shoves Akahana off and gets up from his nursing bed.

"You just don't understand! I need this! Don't take this away from me! ... Damn it! Just forget it." An aggravated Tedashii left a startled puzzled Akahana who felt too weak to help even Tedashii.

"... Tedashii... ?"

Tedashii ignores Akahana's call and scowls at the night sky. He laid his free arm upon the rails and glazed at the night sky.

"Damn it! Why did I do that?! Great! Just keep stacking up your troubles Hamasaki!" Tedashii whines to himself. "I just can't do anything right! That Joker makes it look so easy and cool. I guess I should give up and continue sticking with being the super villain in the end. I think I'll just stick to that from here on."

"Aww but I just became a fan!" A familiar hype up voice came to Tedashii's left. His eyes would meet with a calm settled shoulder length black hair, light sea green eyes. Tedashii hasn't spoken to Li Mei since the events of the Daihaseisai Festival and finally met once more on its final day. "✩ Digital ✩ Herrooooo ✩!"

"Shoulder length black hair, light sea green eyes, a height of 5 '4" from China now, she's here in Japan; Academy city and quickly advanced to a level 4 Esper. Good seeing you China Beijing's golden choice! Li mei Xiaodan." Tedashii said sarcastically, "What brings you here, Aura Storm?"

"Are you seriously trying to pick a fight with me?!" Li Mei replied, annoyed. Li Mei's flustered blushing face and sea green eyes avoid her temptation to stare at Tedashii's chuckles.

Li Mei's chest burned, sweat drifted from her forehead, and she suddenly could hear her heartbeats that suddenly beat faster. The feeling was frustrating; she was confused about what was happening to her. But mostly for the first time she felt true fear, the thing was Li Mei had many opportunities to talk to him since that day but every time she felt this feeling she pushed distance from herself and Tedashii and suddenly the feeling was gone.

"Was this a new superpower Tedashii developed? Did he finally unlock his esper ability? Though she was afraid to ask because she would have to tell Tedashii what she was feeling if that was the case.

"Are you really an level 0?" Li Mei asked randomly.

Tedashii clicks his tongue and makes a smug face. This face brought Li Mei back to reality, she sighs with relief. It was easy to make eye contact with the wavy brown hair boy when he made pitifully stupid faces. So maybe making him miserable was the scientific best option.

"So how's that bitch... I mean how's Mara?"

"... She told me she hated me? ... Typical ... I was too stupid to notice." Li Mei turned her sight to the sky and grinned hopelessly. Forming a fake smile, but she suddenly stopped herself and began frowning. "I was so obsessed with improving myself that I might've rubbed my achievements all upon her face."

"After all the trouble I went through stupid Annaisha went and rattled her name out. Now she's been kicked out of school. And seen as a criminal." Li Mei continued to complain as she rested herself on the railings. "It's truly tiresome that everyone keeps asking me the same questions."

"You're upset she got in trouble? Sounds to me you were planning to patch things up?!" Li Mei couldn't help but giggle at Tedashii's bizarrely surprised cartoon face and comment.

"Remember when I told you I can perceive and read auras, normally invisible fields of energy that surround every living person's; emotions? It wasn't just Mara, that bannda guy was feeling scared as well... Then that weird comment of talking to two different people... Eh? Whoops, I'm doing it again! Nya hahaha!! That's why I failed... I tried connecting to my friends with my powers! You were right! No wonder why things play out the way it did. But from here on I won't rely on my Aura Reading anymore! I will trust people starting with Jeong-Min and ... And ... And You!"

"Uhh... Right?!"

"Oww!! You make it sound soooo stupid?" Li Mei said giggling once more.

"Things might not go back to the way it once was." Tedashii anxiously warned. But Li Mei shrugs Tedashii's warnings.

"Maybe so! Everything is changing and I have no control of that! But... Oh well! I'm stupid Nyahahahaha!!!" Li Mei giggled, prancing away down the stairs. She paused and glanced back at the bewildered wavy hair boy. "I guess that might happen to you as well... HEY! When I beat you and become a level 5 before you! Remember the loser will do what the other asked! One request!" Li Mei points to the sighing Tedashii.

"Eh! Can you tell me what you want so I can mentally prepare myself." Tedashii whimpered.

Li Mei blush blinking her sudden crystalline hue of animated rainbow color blend of the texture maining pink center. Li Mei's Aura Storm ability activates and she ruthlessly hurls a pink aura cannon at the helpless Tedashii.

"Limerence potential?!" Chestnut hair in a bun upward hairstyles woman pressed her glasses as she continued to read the notes.

"Well it's just a nickname for the passive ability Haru-San." The short principal with a bowl cut haircut nods still wearing his black shirt with his face printed like an icon. "I've been investigating who is responsible... But well let me explain the jeez! Little Xiaodan-Chan's ability is heavily affected by her cognition. Some researchers might fall short to understand but I believe emotions do play some fundamental role to one's improvement. Hence Personal Reality right?! Limerence Potential is a trait that manifests a desire to improve for a certain someone. As long as she retains these feelings the faster she can develop in herself for the influencer. I also believe their strength when near ("certain said individual"), can boost a fast growth. The claim growth goal is that of course what they believe is strong enough. Xiaodan-Chan has been mentioned many times for her desire to reach level 5 so I'm assuming Level 5 is the "current." End goal.

"This little trait helped her reach level 2 in four days, and eventually level 4 in two months. This is the secret to the rising Aura Storm." Principal Kai explained.

"Wow!! This is big! So Xiaodan-Chan is trying to get strong for someone. How adorable!" Mrs. Haru said blushing with a nod.

"However I think it's best to leave things as is..."Principal Kai expressed with his back turn. "Who knows how much trouble that would steer for Xiaodan or the desired target so I decide to not find out who's the lucky chad. I think as long as Xiaodan-Chan is happy then there's no need to fix something broken. You can say that's a promise I made to a certain shapeshifter."

"Ha! Of course!" Mrs. Haru said impressed by the calm, short principal.

"However a sturdy buff businessman who worked out in an expansion of two weeks barged inside. "Li MEI!! Who hurt my baby girl!!"

"Oh! Speaking of which, Taishiro Taiyo! The shapeshifter how you been bud...? Gyaaaaahhhhh!!" Before Principal Kai could finish the bulky muscle man cartoonishly snatch the principal lifting him up. "I can explain!!!"

Meanwhile Tedashii realized Li Mei's attack didn't hurt him. Rather if felt... Good. "Nani?!"

"It's a secret Tedashiiiii!!! And soon when it happens you better not back out of it!!!" Li Mei blushes before storming off.

"Eh?! Well... Whatever! When I find out your cheating formula! I'll reach level 5 in no time!!" Tedashii said playfully, egging Li Mei on. Li Mei broke out a real smile grabbing her chest as she continued to run.

"Don't be so absurd!"

"Such a stat increase for what charmed him?! I do not need to persuade and charm my enemies into submission! My strength is more than enough!!"

Li Mei's face bloomed red, she growled at pitiful irony. "Oww!!"

Left alone Tedashii stood calm and bewildered.
"Geez can she really stop attacking me... She would be more cute if she stopped doing that..." Tedashii said to himself, feeling an ominous superstation.

Tedashii quickly frantically ran down his own path. He quickly asked around and finally found who he was looking for. He barged in hacking the security code of the dorm room door.

A honey skin and blonde haired girl who just came out of the shower. Her hair was down and her wet body was covered by a bathrobe when she approached her bedroom she saw Tedashii sneaking himself inside.
Instead of throwing a panicked squeal she threw a shuriken instead. However Tedashii caught it effortlessly with two fingers.

"Damn you chinpoko! What do you think you're doing?! Do you have any idea how bad this would be if Li Mei sees you and her best friend alone together in a situation like this?"

"Do you still have connections to that wacky voice box character?!" Tedashii asked Jeong-Min about Annaisha Emiyo. Jeong-Min could easily read Tedashii's build up anxiety and frantically shook her head.

"What is it? Did something happen?" Jeong-Min began to pick up the same anxiety tone. "Where's Li Mei?!"

"She's fine! I placed a tracker nanobite bug on her." Tedashii quickly tosses a touchscreen tracker to Jeong-Min. "Listen, something is clearly missing in all this! I thought about the odd Anti-Skill officers and the borrowed name of the rank six level 5. Something just doesn't add up here! Then Li Mei said that TARDY mentioned something odd about their scheming methods."

"That's because of Mara."

"That sounded convenient but no! Li Mei mentioned the bandanna guy was talking to two different people, and had a bad feeling. You also mentioned Li Mei is strong enough not to lose to me. And maybe she didn't!"

"What are you getting at?!"

"Look Skill-Out like that group with those ufo discs like homing droids had a main purpose of recording... TARDY also operated to make money for the sick child errors. If they needed money where did they get those resources maybe it couldn't actually be Masato sense the experiments he participated researched went bankrupt. So he was actually broke. He met a board of director known as Hisashi Kaneshiro! That man has the money to corrupt Anti-Skill officials."

"This... Sounds like a reach?" Jeong-Min took a step back and laid her palm upon her forehead as if she was having a headache. "... But he was here! Wait but Li Mei!"

"Don't worry about her! The dark side of Academy City wouldn't dare risk making a move on her with the security as tight as it is. That prince detective doubles down and has many Anti-Skill officials and Judgment on the night watch. Li Mei would eventually link up with not only Anti-Skill but Judgment as well or he probably chooses to have people he trusts have a close eye on her. But a fool like him that fights in the light would make one mistake...
"This is the dark side of Academy City; loose ends don't just walk."

Masato jun'ichi was left guarded by two Anti-Skill officers that paid close attention to their whereabouts. With a few turns they would drive out the district and park suddenly at district 19.

"Well it seems I've truly been a fool in the end." Said the calm gentleman researcher. The dark brown short unkempt hair middle-age man, didn't even have his glasses, his sight was blurry. But it was easy for him to read the moment. However his heart did not skip a beat. He faced the corrupted injustice that stood in front of him. He remained seated in the back seat and shrugs with a confident smirk.

"Suicide after being back into a corner for questioning. Masato Jun'ichi, a mad terrorist till the end. That will be you if you don't tell me what I want to know. Who is the vigilante known as Joker and Code Vader?" Said a man depicted wearing a black powered suit with red lights.

"Hmm I suppose I know their names or who they really are but how about I preach a lesson first." Masato joked and teased. "It's not nice to point at others. I'm pretty sure your woman at home wouldn't appreciate poor manners and a bad reputation."

"Can't you read the room, you're grown aren't ya, can't you tell what scene this is?" The vigilante mocks.

Tedashii's Vector Malice and Coilgun/Retro speed Motorbike was confiscated when the prince detective and Anti-Skill arrived.
But Tedashii still had the nano reality digital code-breaker program sealed within his mecha designed glove due to it looking like a cosplay prop. Jeong-Min safety opened her doors to prevent any alarms for Tedashii. Now fully charged, Tedashii cloaked himself with his white armor green light power suit that sprouted transparent photon wings and a newly photon halo that even he wasn't aware was there.

"I'll keep an update!" Jeong-Min assist. "Go!!" Tedashii spears into the air. Scanning everything from the air. Jeong-Min, still in her bathrobe, rushes outdoors hopping among the rooftops throwing shurikens at hidden sensors that could alert Tedashii.

"You know I was told many times I'm childish and need to grow up. I've even had my students pass me up in the maturity department. I thought quitting as a teacher and becoming a researcher would be an opportunity to take me seriously as a man but those words. Maturity is everywhere, you don't obtain it from a job. You obtain it when you let go of irresponsible decisions and trade them for survival? No! Today I'm going to prove even you wrong. He sent you here, didn't he? Kaneshiro. I don't need to survive to make the right choice..."

"It's sad to say my guy... You were right on the money I guess even you can prove him wrong. Nothing personal, it's a job in the end." The vigilante held out his gun and with one fire crack. Red blood spilled down leaking from the seat.

Tedashii spears down the scene but it was too late Tedashii made eye contact with Masato's lifeless eyes. His former teacher lay dead in his seat. However Tedashii remained calm and turned his sights to the corrupted Anti-Skill soldiers.

"Justice!!" Said the corrupted Anti-Skill guards that began opening fire. Tedashii didn't even have to dodge as his power suit tanked all their gunfire. The men made hopeless stares as Tedashii made quick light work with them. From above he saw the black red light vigilante staring from above a rooftop of his own.

Tedashii quickly snapped his finger to hack the vigilante's equipment suit. Within one snap Tedashii can hack and invade his targets within seven seconds. But Tedashii remained impressed that the black power suit red light vigilante had made preparations for the Code Vader technique. A firewall that had a unique block.

Knowing firewalls are not very effective against Code Vader it operated to change targets. Tedashii glanced at all the corrupted Anti-Skill's guards whose equipment were all hacked. Informing on everything about the infamous DA.

"I think I might know who you are." Were the words said by the black power suit vigilante.

Tedashii quickly snapped his finger once more to hack the black power suit vigilante but the power suit vigilante teleported. Another firewall that changes the command to teleportation. Tedashii clicks his tongue.

"But Tedashii was able to get a name from his fast paced hacking attack. "Silver Cross Alpha? Damn it! I don't know who that is." Tedashii mumbled to himself but he also realized the first hacking command didn't just hack the DA.

"Wow... You've messed up my plan... I was trying to save him." Tedashii heard a mysterious genderless soprano voice that echoed to him from afar. Sounding distorted, visual distortions spread out expanding the night sky itself almost making everything feel vague. Tedashii remained puzzled but stood there and waited for the shadowy figure to approach him.

Everything felt vaguely outlined as the shadow figure stepped in front of Tedashii's sight. Tedashii wasn't even sure if it was the power suit or the bizarre figure making out-of-focus video camera. A sensation like heaven touching earth.

"Greetings." Said the shadow figure that spoke in keigo. "You must be the digital hero I've heard so much about, or Code Vader for short."

"Who's asking?" Tedashii trolls.

"The number six rank level 5. Don't make me repeat myself."

"Right?! So you weren't a victim in all this scheming?!"

"No, I just had the wrong hero in all this. Perhaps I fell for Mara Grace's ambition and was falsely deceived. I'm sassified that, ("villain") won't be having the last laugh. But there's one more villain that can't get away with all this... Imaginary Script; Hisashi Kaneshiro! I have a score to settle with that board of director. Unfortunately my power alone isn't enough to defeat his power neither is yours... Not yet that is!"

"That doesn't sound so impressive for a level 5? How am I supposed to believe you're the real deal anyways?!" Tedashii openly mocks.

"I can show it to you... My power." The shadow figure cloak within a burst of radiation that made Li Mei's cloak look as if it was a joke reached their hand for a handshake for Tedashii. "I have a proposal, why don't we trade names."

"Huh?!"

"You might not believe it at the moment but the name Code Vader has transcended into a powerful name in the dark side. And well the name Aihana Etsu will give you just what you need on your own ends."

"What are you even suggesting?"

"Can you stop interrupting me?! You rude incompetent moron and just listen." The number six complained, breaking out of his keigo. "You and I should work together. To take on the board of director; Hisashi Kaneshiro. You've already hacked my cell phone so that already means we exchanged contact info. And now we've crossed paths due to this mixed up. I say it's fate. Fate has chosen for my next name as Code Vader and yours Aihana Etsu. With the power of The Dark Side's Bane Number 6 Level 5 Aihana Etsu and The Fastest Hacker and Inventor; Code Vader.

"Aww geez you really love yourself don't you?!" Tedashii complained within his power suit. "Tch where do we start?"

"With name! Comrade!"
