Date: August 24, 2009
"Hey viewers, Keiko here...*says this while waving to the viewers while smiling with eyes closed*...Anyway, guess what?...I have great news for all of you...*then proceeds to smile quite broadly*...We will now return you to some more action packed chapters...*says this while still continuing to smile quite broadly only now with eyes closed and head tilted in a cute manner*...I know viewers, you had to sit through quite a few chapters worth of filler...But fear not, as your wait, is now going to be well worth it...*Keiko then proceeds to bring her face closer to the screen*...But, don't wind up just taking my word for it viewers?...*Keiko then proceeds to bring her face back from being close to the screen to continue to address the viewers*...What do you say, that we proceed on with the current chapter, hmm?...*Keiko proceeds to say this while once again smiling with eyes closed and head tilted to one side in a cute manner*"
And regarding me and Misaka, current situation, with Febrie, as well as Saten. Who at the current moment, was currently talking on the phone, while me, Misaka, and Febrie, listened in on the conversation. Well, technically Saten was speaking on the phone right next to the three of us. So, it wasn't really about us listening in, so much as it was just difficult for us not to do so.
"Okay, I guess that's that. Yea, don't worry, bye for now," Saten said, as she then proceeded to hang up her phone, thus putting an end to her current phone call.
"Uiharu and Shirai still need to investigate the site, so they'll be a while, they said for us to go ahead without them," Saten followed up with, as she turned her attention to me, Misaka, and Febrie, as she explained the current situation, regarding Uiharu and Shirai.
"Well, at least they are both doing okay for right now...Oh, almost forgot viewers, you're all probably wondering at this very moment, exactly what Saten meant by both Uiharu, and Shirai, still needing to investigate, right?...Well viewers, as it turned out, they were currently with several members of Anti-Skill, and were currently busy investigating an incident, involving several cleanup robots...You know, the same type of cleanup robots that were mentioned about in the very first chapter of this fanfic?...You know, the very same robots that wound up responding to the whole incident, that had involved Misaka kicking that vending machine?...Yes, those cleanup robots...*proceeds to smile with eyes closed while still having head directed to the right, while then continuing to address the viewers*...Anyway, speaking of similar robots...*then proceeds to put hand behind head, with both eyes closed and a small bead of sweat then appears on one side of face*...Well, not exactly, but just here me out for a second here viewers...*then proceeds to open both eyes again to continue to address the viewers*...Anyway, who here, knows of an old anime franchise called Gundam?...You know the anime with all of the mechs?...Yes, that's the one...Well, it's not an old anime franchise per say...but, you pretty much get the gist of what I am trying to get across to all of you here, right viewers?...Anyway, though none of you might know it just yet at this current moment...but, me mentioning this, is going to wind up playing a very huge role, in one of the future chapters...But anyway, let's continue on with the story, as well as the current chapter, shall we?...*Keiko proceeds to say the last part, while once again smiling with eyes closed, and head tilted to one side in a cute manner*" I thought to myself, while I had my eyesight, as well as my attention, turned to the right of me, to briefly address the viewers.
Now anyway, fourth wall breaking aside again, at least for the current moment. But, however, given the current overall situation. Things were, well...
"Okay Febrie, how about this? I will give you this red Gekota if you give me back the pink one, look, this one's cute too," Misaka said, as she was apparently still not shy, from letting me know, about her obsession for Gekota.
"No!" Febrie ended up responding back to Misaka with, in a very unhesitating, and also very stubborn standoffish manner, as she turned around, and away from Misaka.
And after Misaka had then let out a very audible grunt of frustration, she then proceeded to try and still get Febrie to give up the pink Gekota. "Okay, but what if I throw in this blue Gekota, and I'll even throw in a yellow. So Febrie, do we have a deal?" Misaka once again asked, although this time, it was now in a slightly more desperate sounding tone of voice.
"This is my Gekota," Febrie said in response, only she had responded, while she still had her back to Misaka.
And to be honest, after just witnessing all of that, I just couldn't help, but let out a small sigh.
"Okay, so it's nice to see that Misaka still has her massive obsession with Gekota, or anything else that is related to Gekota...However viewers...sorry, Keiko here...Anyway, that doesn't mean that I am not a fan of her obsession either...*proceeds to look at the viewers, with a somewhat stoic, but an expression that is almost telling the viewers, not to make any rash assumptions regarding the current situation*...I mean after all, it is just something that I consider to be one of her...quirks...yea...let's just call it that...and no viewers, I am not referring to My Hero Academia when I say that either...so don't go assuming that that is what I am referring too...*proceeds to think that while sighing*...And if you did in fact assume that right off the bat, then that is your fault for doing so," I thought to myself, as I couldn't help but once again sigh. Only this time with both of my eyes closed, and a less then enthusiastic looking expression, all but prominently displayed on my face, while I had turned my attention, as well as my eyesight, to the right of me again, to once again, briefly address the viewers.
However, though none of us currently knew it at that time, or current moment. Things, regarding the anime canon timeline, would soon wind up, spiraling completely out of control. And, to make matters just that much worse for me, Misaka, and the rest of our friends. We would soon be locked in a deadly battle, and would wind up fighting for our very lives. For if we lost this time, like that of a recent battle, like the one that would soon wind up transpiring. Our problems, regarding a certain entity, of complete evil, were still far from being over or done with.
"Hey viewers, Keiko here again. I know, nothing like a little bit of foreshadowing to get all of you more intrigued to read on, hmm?...*proceeds to finish saying the previous sentence while smiling with eyes closed and head tilted to one side in a cute manner, before opening both eyes again and returning head back to level again, before once again continuing to address the viewers*...Anyway, lets us now continue on with the chapter. Actually, before we continue on with this chapter. I figured, that now would also be as good a time as any, to kind of...*ahem*...explain a few things, regarding some...statistics...You know, the statistics regarding me and Misaka, and our respective railguns?...*proceeds to then smile with eyes closed and head tilted to one side in a cute manner*...Anyway, don't worry, we will be getting right back into the action of the current episode shortly...But for now, let's just consider this part in the current chapter, as a type of...explanatory-type of comparison, shall we say?...*proceeds to clear throat before once again speaking in order to continue to address the viewers*...Oh, if anyone doesn't want to read this part...You have my complete permission...to just simply skip onto the next paragraph...But be warned, you will wind up missing quite a bit of important information...with regard to this whole chapter...*quickly composes self for a moment before then continuing to address the viewers*...Anyway, regarding the whole point of this portion of this current chapter...*proceeds to now look at the viewers with a slight bit more serious looking of an expression*...Who here, remembers a Spike TV program, by the name, of Deadliest Warrior?...You know, the very same tv program, that although was at times very corny, brought in several weapons experts...and in future seasons, historian experts?...Yes, that's the one...*once again proceeds to clear throat and return back to a much less serious looking expression before once again speaking in order to continue to address the viewers*...Anyway, who here, remembers an episode in which two rival criminal syndicates...The Jesse James Gang...and The Al Capone Gang...wound up going against each other?...Yes, that corny like episode...*proceeds to give a less then happy looking expression before once again composing self in order to continue to address the viewers*...Anyway, the reason why I am going to be talking about this particular episode, has to actually do, with what I mentioned previously in this fourth wall break...I am going to be giving a plausible comparison, between me and Misaka's railguns, and Jesse James gunslinger expert, Joey Dillon...Now, I am not giving this exact comparison, to the gunslinger expert in question...Sure, Joey Dillon...as I am sure you managed to see on the episode in question yourselves...You must have noticed...whether it had been obvious or not...that from the moment that Joey Dillon proceeded to raise his Model 1851 Colt Revolvers, and then fire the first shot from the chamber...*then proceeds to bring face close to the screen*...took just under a quarter of a second...*then brings face back from being close to the screen before once again continuing to address the viewers*...and from the exact words, that were spoken by Geoff Desmoulin, after Joey Dillon had decimated the three targets in a demonstration of his Model 1851 Colt Revolvers...that anything in under half a second...*once again proceeds to bring face close to the screen*...Is a No-Dodge Zone...*once again brings face back from being close to the screen and then quickly composing self before once again continuing to address the viewers*...And, while it took Joey Dillon, just about a quarter of a second, to raise his Colt Revolvers, and then fire the first shot from the chamber...and on the subject regarding me and Misaka's railguns...we are talking well under that drop quarter of a second...*once again proceeds to bring face close to the screen*...So in other words here viewers...we are basically talking well below anything, that one would consider to be a No-Dodge Zone...so in other words, whatever, or whoever, we wind up firing our railguns at, is getting hit...*once again proceeds to bring face back from being close to the screen and then quickly composing self before once again continuing to address the viewers*...Look, in the words of one Grosvenor McCaffrey from the video game L.A. Noire...'that's just the salient point here isn't it?'...Well in fact, it actually is...*once again proceeds to bring face away from the screen and once again quickly composes self in order to once again continue to address the viewers*...Oh, and by the way viewers...You might have noticed, that I have been making a huge amount of references, to both other works, as well as quite a few pop culture reference throughout this fanfic, right?...I mean after all viewers, it was pretty obvious...Well, that is if you had actually been bothered to read through this entire fanfic up to this point...*once again proceeds to bring face close to the screen*...I mean, surely you haven't been skimming and skipping ahead?...Well, have you?...Because if you have indeed gone and done just that...*now proceeds to continue speaking with a tickmark now very visible on one side of face*...Then, I would highly suggest, that you go back to chapter 1, or whichever chapter, that you started to skim and skip through...and I suggest that you read it with more of an intent, to actually put in the effort, to read through the rest of this fanfic properly...*sighs and then puts hand to forehead while displaying an immensely displeased expression with eyes closed*...I mean, surely you are not all that blatantly lazy...right?...*once again proceeds to bring face away from being close to the screen and then quickly composing self before once again continuing to address the viewers*...Anyway, I think, that that, is more then enough fourth wall breaking, as well as any explanatory comparison from me...at least for now...Anyway, on with the chapter...*says this while once again smiling with eyes closed and head tilted to one side in a cute manner*"
Okay, so fourth wall breaking aside, let me just be real here for a second. Well, not that I haven't been throughout this entire story so far...but I digress.
Anyway, after the whole conversation exchange, had taken place, between me, Misaka, Saten, Wannai, Awatsuki...and Kongo...and after Wannai, Awatsuki, and Kongo, had gone on their way. We had now found our way over to a nearby restaurant...which was apparently named Julian's...
"Okay, timeout for a second here viewers...*then proceeds to traditionally bow to the viewers in an immensely apologetic manner while saying the following sentence*...I am terribly sorry for breaking the fourth wall on you all again...*then proceeds to bring self back up from the traditional bow to the viewers in order to continue to address the viewers*...Anyway, you may have noticed, that from either reading this fanfic...or even watching the original railgun anime...that several...if not all of the stores and establishments in Academy City...have slightly different...or in this case, also weird sounding names...Well, that is so that the original owners of similar establishment names, that are copyrighted...don't wind up possibly resulting in the original copyright owners, getting ticked off...*proceeds to once again give another less then pleased expression before quickly composing self in order to continue to properly address the viewers*...Some examples?...Well...you may notice that a certain...*ahem*...establishment...with a pair of...golden-like arches...you know the one right?...Well, instead of calling it by...*ahem*...that name...they decided to call it...WcDonald's...yes, that is the name that they wound up going with...You know what?...that sounds an awful lot, like a portion of the movie franchise Coming To America...You know, the movie franchise starring Eddie Murphy?...As in, the very same Eddie Murphy, who wound up making the...*abomination*...known as The Adventures Of Pluto Nash?...Yes, that Eddie Murphy...*says this while showing a very embarrassed looking expression, with a bead of sweat now very noticeable on one side of face*...Anyway, I think that that is enough of my fourth wall breaking...at least for the moment...so, what do you viewers say, that we now get on with the chapter, hmm?...*says the 'hmm' portion while smiling with eyes closed and head tilted to one side in a cute manner*"
Anyway, another somewhat lengthy fourth wall break aside...at least for the moment.
While me, Misaka, Saten, and Febrie, were currently inside of the restaurant in question. I couldn't help, but notice, the many posters around the restaurant, that were mentioning an upcoming Research Assembly.
"They've got posters for the Reach Assembly all over the place huh?" Saten asked to no one in particular, as she looked at all of the many posters of said Research Assembly that were posted all over some of the restaurant walls.
"So what do you think, I mean, now that we've seen some of it? I mean, I didn't know what to expect, I've never been to one of these assemblies either," Misaka said, with both of her eyes closed, and a bead of sweat very much present, on one side of her face.
"Hey viewers, Keiko here again. Now, you might all be wondering to yourselves, why I am looking to dwell on this particular things?...Well, as it turns out, the next scene, that was supposed to transpire after this?...Well it involved us, Febrie, as well as Konori...and Kuroko...went off to a nearby bathhouse...Yea, do you see the obvious problem with that viewers?...Surely you must!...I mean after all viewers...*suddenly then brings face close to the screen with a very unhappy looking expression on face*...as it just so happens, it was going to be a fanservice type of a scene...*blushes*...And to be perfectly honest here viewers...I don't feel even the least bit comfortable...in even remotely mentioning...what exactly wound up going on in that scene in question...I mean after all, me and Misaka, are only 14 years old!...And yes, I am more then aware, that the age of consensus in Japan...is 13 years old!...You do remember me mentioning this particular thing...back in chapter 5...right viewers?...As you should've noticed...Well, that is if you weren't just skimming through all of the chapters...that led up to this one...I mean after all, the only exception I have offered to all of you, was only regarding one of the previous paragraphs...and, that is going to be one of the only exceptions that I will wind up giving to all of you..."
"Uh yeah, Keiko?...I think the viewers get the gist of it...there is no need to make your fourth wall break any longer then it already is...*Misaka says this while giving Keiko a somewhat weary and worried looking expression to let Keiko know that the viewers basically get the point that she is trying to get across to the viewers*"
"Oh...right Misaka...my bad...*proceeds to put one hand behind head while also giving a slightly embarrassed looking expression*...Sorry about that...*then proceeds to compose self in order to then continue to address the viewers*...Anyway, why don't we just continue on with the story, shall we?...*proceeds to say this while smiling with eyes closed and head slightly tilted to one side in a cute manner*"
Anyway, fourth wall breaking aside. Well, at least for the current moment.
So, as it currently stood, I still couldn't help, but have a really bad and uneasy feeling. And, to be honest, it had been coming and going, ever since the fight back on August 9th, had transpired.
It was almost as if, this was a sort of warning, for what was still to come. Almost as if...that that wouldn't be the last time, that I would wind up crossing paths, with those that we fought alongside back on August 9th. And to be completely honest, this bad and uneasy feeling, was more then justifiable. Because unfortunately, though I did not know it at the time. And as future events would wind up showing. Me, Misaka, and the rest of The Four Aces Alliance, would soon be once again locked in another fight. Where once again, not only would the fate, of Academy City itself, once again be at risk. But, also two other anime timelines, would wind up being put at risk alongside our own. And, whether we wanted to or not, we would soon, be once again locked in a fight, for our lives.
"Hey guys, Keiko here again. Well, nothing like a bit more of foreshadowing to intrigue all of you viewers enough, to want to continue reading, huh?...*proceeds to say anything after the word 'again,' while smiling with eyes closed and head tilted slightly to one side in a cute manner*...So anyway, let's get on with the chapter now, shall we?...*Says the last part while smiling with eyes closed and head tilted slightly to one side in a cute manner*"
Now, let me be as brief as I can with regard to this current chapter. As it is in fact as lengthy as it is, because it is one of the final chapters regarding the final few episodes of the second season of the Railgun anime canon timeline. In other words, we are now coming close, to the end of Railgun S. Or, the second season of the Railgun anime, to be more precise and accurate...
"But most importantly. Sorry, Keiko here viewers...*then proceeds to traditionally bow to the viewers in an immensely apologetic manner while saying the previous sentence, as well as the following sentence*...I am terribly sorry for breaking the fourth wall on you all again...*then proceeds to bring self back up from the traditional bow to the viewers in order to continue to address the viewers*...Anyway..."
"So yea uh...Keiko?...You might want to wrap your fourth wall break up...we still have a very lengthy chapter to get to here...*Misaka proceeds to say all of this with a weary, as well as a less then pleased expression on her face, as if to let Keiko know that the viewers will wind up reading about what is still too come in this chapter*"
"Oh right...my apologies Misaka...*ahem*...Anyway, on with the chapter...*Says the last part while smiling with eyes closed and head tilted slightly to one side in a cute manner*"
Anyway, fourth wall breaking aside.
"Actually not quite yet viewers...Yea, sorry Keiko here again...Anyway, so after the whole...well...let's just call it an...uh...an experience...yea...let's just call it an experience...Anyway, after the whole...bathhouse experience...because let's be honest here...I am not going to be featuring that fanservice scene in this fanfic...I mean, if you want to experience something like that, go and watch any ecchi, or harem type based anime...As you will not be reading about any of that here...I think that much should've been obvious...whether it be from reading this fanfic, or the other two that are connected to it...*ahem*...But enough about that, back to the current chapter...*once again proceeds to say the last part while smiling with eyes closed and head tilted slightly to one side in a cute manner*"
Anyway, back to the current situation at hand. As me, Misaka, Kuroko, Uiharu, Saten, and Febrie, had recently tried several times, in order to find our way to the Research Assembly, or Reach Assembly, as Saten had called it. Anyway, we were sort of...well, we were sort of ambushed, by a green colored mech. In which it had suddenly burst onto the scene, after having torn open a nearby buildings steel constructed double doors. And it was then, that a sudden thought, then couldn't help, but make its way into my mind.
"Wait, what the heck?!...Where did that mech come from?!...Wait...I just got a very bad feeling...Oh god...don't tell me..." I thought to myself, as my thought, was then suddenly cut short mid thought. As Misaka, at that moment, then chose to speak up.
"Keiko watch out!" Misaka yelled to me. As the green colored mech, then proceeded to try and take a huge swipe at me, and then wound up going after Misaka, only a split second later.
"Okay...that was not cool!...Wait a sec here, I just took a look at that mech...and...it seems to bear quite a shocking resemblance too...Oh good god no...that can't be!...There's just no way!...'He' is supposed to be dead!...I saw it happen...!...'We' all did...!...I mean, me and Misaka, were the ones, who had played a massive role in it...!...So, how, in the actual heck...is 'he' still alive?!...Still, I can't let anyone else know of this fact...Because for some reason, I almost feel that doing so, will wind up causing much more problems to the canon timeline, then there already are right now...So, with that in mind, I have to do my absolute best, to try and keep this timeline intact...Because something tells me, that this, is just going to soon be...the least of me, and Misaka's worries," I thought to myself, as my face, displayed a look, and an expression of complete and total shock, just after the green colored mech, had taken a swipe at both me and Misaka. I then decided to not waste anymore time. As I then, started charging up a vast amount of electricity. And once I had charged for about a second or two. I then just simply went, and discharged all of it, with all of it aimed directly at the mech.
But, what happened next, was not what I was expecting to happen. In fact, the electricity, that I had discharged at the mech, had simply just wound up slamming into the mech, only to dissipate into complete nothingness.
"What the heck?!...What just happened?!...How did all of that electricity not have any sort of the slightest effect on that mech?!...What the heck is going on here!?...Am I missing something here viewers?!" I frantically thought to myself, while I had briefly, as well as quite frantically, had quickly turned my eyesight, to the left of me, in order to briefly address the viewers.
And, to make matters just that much worse. The reason, as to why the green colored mech, had even begun attacking us in the first place. Well, as it turned out, they were, for some unknown reason, after Febrie. And the reason for why I was able to figure this out? Well, that was basically due to my past experiences regarding a certain female villain, her father, and the Level 6 Shift experiments. Well, that was one of the many experiments, that both of them, as well as their associates, had been involved in. And unfortunately, what was currently happening, and what was still to transpire, in the not too far future.
Not only, would my suspicions, as well as recent and current stunning realizations, wind up to be 100% warranted. But this, was just a mere stepping stone, for what was still too come.
And, given the overall and current situation. Me and Misaka, wanted to do whatever we could, in order to try and minimize any potential collateral damage, that would wind up resulting from this onslaught from the lone green colored mech.
And so, with this very thought in mind. I wound up speaking up, in a very clear effort, to do just that.
But, before I could do so, Misaka then spoke up. "Get back!' Misaka said, obviously referring to everyone else except for me and her.
"Well, given the current situation, I might as well help Misaka in hammering that statement of hers home," I thought to myself, as I then proceeded to speak up. "Everybody run, and leave this to me and Misaka!" I yelled, as my statement, along with Misaka's from a few seconds earlier, then took an almost instant effect.
Because not even a split second after I had yelled out that very statement. Kuroko, Uiharu, and Saten, who still had Febrie on her back, then took off running. Well...not exactly...
"Are you two sure that you are going to be alright?" Kuroko interjected with asking, in an attempt to try and argue with me, in regard, to what I had just said. And I was just about to respond and answer back to her, even before she had finished anymore of her protesting statement.
Only, Misaka sort of wound up beating me to the punch, and wound up speaking up to her in response instead. And this was before I even could fully turn to her in order to give my response.
"Kuroko, leave this to us!" Misaka said in response with the exact amount of aggression, that had been present in my tone of voice, when I had yelled at everyone to run.
And to be quite honest, her aggression that was present, in that statement of hers, sent even me reeling for a slight moment. And that was even though she had said it with the same amount of aggression, that had come from my voices tone.
"Okay...so, I wasn't expecting that from someone as normally non-aggressive as Misaka...I am so glad that I am on her side...because I can't even begin to imagine, what the situation would've been had the script been flipped," I thought to myself, with a somewhat very shocked looking expression, now very much present on my face.
However, I was then quickly brought back to reality, as the green colored mech, with the use of several rocket type boosters, that it had affixed to the back of it, then proceeded to charge forward towards me and Misaka. The only thing was, it didn't wind up getting very far. As just before the mech made it to us, Misaka, somehow managed to bring it to a sudden halt, by just using her foot to anchor the mechs weapon under it.
The only thing was, that although I had already demonstrated, that my electricity had absolutely no effect on the mech in question. Misaka on the other hand, seemed to have forgotten about that. "Honestly, did you think that this was going to be enough to stop either of us!" Misaka said, a she, like I had done earlier on in this chapter, proceeded to discharge quite a bit of electricity.
Only, just like it had happened with me, Misaka's massive discharge of electricity, like when I had done so, once again, had wound up having no effect on the mech. As not even a single electrical scorch mark, or even a single dent was seen to be present anywhere on its armor.
"*now proceeds to give a Picard like facepalm*...Okay Misaka, you really need to work on that arrogant demeanor of yours...Because if you hadn't just had your arrogance act for you in the way that it just did...*then proceeds to deeply sigh*...Then you would've obviously realized, that that already has been proven to have absolutely no effect on the mech...You know, I can now completely understand, why such memes as the Picard Facepalm meme, exists in the way that it does...As it would wind up being quite very appropriate...for a situation such as this...But, do you see exactly why now viewers, why being arrogant never works!?...I mean after all, like that of another certain female character, who has recently appeared in this fanfic...nothing good can ever come, from one being arrogant...nothing," I thought to myself, as I had turned my attention to the right of me, to briefly address the viewers, during the second part of my thought.
And, as future events would wind up showing, this would soon wind up, becoming the very least of our worries.
"Yea...so...this is not the most ideal situation here right now...huh viewers?...Yea...not the most ideal is it?...*then proceeds to smile with eyes closed for a moment with head cutely tilted to one side before then composing self in order to continue to address the viewers*...Anyway, this current chapter, just so happens to be the twentieth episode of season two of the anime...or, Railgun S, if you want to more accurately specific...Anyway, the point here viewers, that I am trying to make, is that while this current situation, is as dire, as most of you viewers want to claim that it seems to be...I will now let you all know, that things, could be quite a lot worse...*proceeds to bring face close to screen as a tickmark then become fully visible on one side of face*...You would already know about all of that, from also reading Going In Completely Blind...Which for those of you, who are still unaware, as you might or might not, have been living under a rock this whole time...is the other fanfic of two other fanfics, that are connected to this one!...I mean, surely you viewers, are still not being so lazy, as to not bother reading Going In Completely Blind, or even Going In Almost Completely Blind for that matter, right viewers?...I mean would you just wind up watching the first Pirates Of The Caribbean movie, only to then just stop watching after that, and not even bother to watch the rest of the movies?...I mean, that is not the same thing as this...But just hear me out on this!...Would you, or would you not, go on and watch the remaining Pirates Of The Caribbean movies?!...I mean, the whole issue with Johnny Depp, and Amber Heard lawsuit incident was...Actually, you know what?...Let's just not dive any deeper into that...*proceeds to say this with a now nervous looking expression and a bead of sweat in place of the tickmark on face*...Anyway, the point that I am trying to make here viewers...Is just don't skip ahead!...*Says the last part while smiling with eyes closed and head tilted slightly to one side in a cute manner*"
Now things hadn't exactly changed regarding me and Misaka's current predicament. However, I then remembered something. "Hold on a sec here...I just remembered something...Misaka didn't just use her electricity, when she had fought against Touma down by the riverbank...In fact, if I remember right, she wound up using her electricity, to conjure up quite a bit of iron sand from the ground that was beneath her...And she had used the iron sand...to forge a Katana of sorts, from the iron sand...I mean sure, it wound up doing absolutely nothing to Touma because of his Imagine Breaker...But still, I think that the use of iron sand, in a situation like this, should be more then enough, to help counteract the mechs heavy metal weapon...Still, I might as well let Misaka know," I thought to myself, having now realized how we could use the surrounding Iron Sand, to at least hold our own against the mech.
It was then, while I had this exact realization in mind, quickly turned my attention over to Misaka. However, and as if she already knew exactly what I had planned to do during when I was having my thought. She simply just nodded in response. Which not surprisingly, caused me to look at her with a slightly surprised expression, but I did my best to hide it. And then, after having nodded back to Misaka, and without having, or wanting to waste another second. We both then focused and concentrated our electricity beneath us, and then into the concrete. And sure enough, as I had predicted, a whole bunch of iron sand, then started to materialize around us from the concrete beneath our feet.
And, following Misaka's example to the letter, as the green mech, then tried an overhead swing at Misaka with its large metal weapon, she then used the iron sand that she had just conjured up from the concrete, along with her electricity, to counteract the oncoming heavy swing from the mech. As all that wound up happening, was the green mechs heavy metal weapon just simply wound up glancing off of the iron sand shield, that Misaka had used in tandem with her electricity, in order to to cause the glancing blow in question.
However, as I looked on at what had just transpired. I suddenly didn't have anymore time, to marvel in wonderment, at what Misaka had just done. Because, it was at that very moment, that the green colored mech, then decided, to try and take a heavy overhanded swing at me with its metal weapon, just as it had tried to do with Misaka.
And as this was transpiring in front of me, a sudden frantic like thought, couldn't help, but make its way into my mind. "Oh, well that's not ideal...Still, it is nice to see that Misaka still knows how to use her Esper ability well...I mean, I am still trying to get the hang of using my Telepath ability...But...let me put this current part of my thought to the side...And for now, let me just see...If I can't follow Misaka's example..." I thought to myself. And then, after a few seconds of me doing some calculating, and like Misaka had done only a couple of seconds prior. I then, used both the iron sand that I had conjured up from the concrete, and in complete tandem with my electricity, to completely parry the oncoming heavy overhead swing from the green colored mechs heavy metal weapon. And like what had happened with Misaka only a couple seconds prior. The green colored mechs heavy metal weapon, just wound up glancing off of the iron sand and electrically reinforced shield.
"Wow...that was actually a lot more easy, then I thought it was going to be...I guess that is why I am a level 5 Esper...I guess my calculations, as well as my quick thinking...is one of those reason...isn't that right viewers?...I mean, let me just be clear right from the off...I am not boasting in anyway, about this being the case by any means...In fact, I am all too aware, that being one of the two 3rd ranked level 5 Espers, out of all the seven level 5 Espers in all of Academy City, can sometimes, like this very situation in fact, can wind up with you having a very large and sizeable target on your back...I mean after all viewers...*suddenly brings face close to the screen in order to address the viewers in this manner for the current part of the fourth wall break*...this was something that I had mentioned at great length, way back in chapter 5...You know, if any of you viewers, had actually been bothering in the slightest, to actually read through every chapter very thoroughly up to this point that is..." I thought to myself, while I had both my eyesight, as well as my attention, turned to the left of me, while I continued to and then completed with addressing the viewers.
Okay, so immediately following what had just transpired. Which was just after the green colored mech, had taken a swing, at both me and Misaka. And thankfully, with both of us using our electricity, in tandem with the use of the iron sand that was beneath our feet. We had managed to keep the green colored mech at bay, at least for the moment.
However, after this had happened. Which was just after the mech had wound up glancing its metal weapon against my iron sand shield, that I had used to shield myself, with the use of my electricity. I couldn't help, but then have a somewhat intrusive thought, then make its way into my mind.
"Okay...I'll be honest here...both me and Misaka using our electricity, in tandem with the iron sand...was a very smart and an extremely great move...but, something tells me, that this iron sand shield, can only wind up holding up for so long...If we're both lucky...given my current calculation...then we might only be able, to survive one...maybe two more hits?...And then we would need to conjure up more iron sand to protect us from any overhanded swing that the mech might wind up slamming into our iron sand shields...So, with that thought in mind...I need to try, and quickly think of something, that will wind up getting me, Misaka, Kuroko, Uiharu, Saten, and Febrie, out of this whole very horrible mess of a situation," I thought to myself, as I tried to frantically think, of any possible way out of this whole fight.
However, I was then stopped mid thought, by Misaka then giving a very audible grunt. But, before I could even so much as turn to her, and try to figure out why she was grunting. I then heard Misaka suddenly yell, as she then proceeded to unleash all of the iron sand that she had been using as a shield, by discharging the electricity that had been holding it, towards the mech all at once. And the resulting impact, wound up slamming it very hard, against a nearby vertical steel girder. And to be honest, I just couldn't help, but stare, at what had just happened.
"Okay...I wasn't expecting Misaka to be able to do that...!..." I thought to myself, with a very visible shocked and surprised expression very much present on my face.
Only thing was, my thought was then cut short once again, as I then saw, that the two horizontal steel girders, that had been supporting the steel girder, by anchoring it in place with several heavily reinforced steel nuts and bolts for each of them, then proceeded to suddenly shear away from both sides of the sole vertical girder, completely. And to make matters just that much worse, Saten and Febrie, were both under the path of one of the two falling horizontal steel girders. And I also somehow knew, that given the current situation, Misaka, would not be able to react in time. I mean, it would be close. But, however, given the current situation, I wasn't willing to leave anything to a game of chance. And with all of this now in mind. I then proceeded, to do several quick mental calculations, in order to make 100% certain, that I could get enough electricity over to the falling horizontal steel girder in time. And thought process of going about doing this was...well...
"Damn it!...I've got to do something, otherwise this won't end well for either Saten, or Febrie!" I thought to myself, as I then, with a now very determined and concentrated expression, and just a split second later. I then proceeded, to use the electricity, that I had been using to hold the iron sand up as a shield, and simply concentrated my attention on the steel girder, that was about to fall on Saten and Febrie. And that was after I had done my quick calculations, order to make completely sure, that this wouldn't wind up, with either Saten or Febrie, getting unnecessarily injured, or badly hurt from the currently still falling steel girder.
But thankfully, and as I had intended from the start...my discharged electricity, wound up shooting, and coursing throughout the steel girder. Which wound up stopping it mid fall before it could do any sort of harm, to either Saten or Febrie.
And, once I had let out a brief sigh of relief, I then proceeded to try and speak up, in order to try, and put both Saten and Febrie current uneasy expression, as well as their feelings, at ease.
However, and just as I was about to speak up to both Saten and Febrie. I then, all of the sudden, then decided not to say anything. As it was almost as if I somehow knew, that now was not the ideal time, to be speaking up regarding that. And as such, I then decided to set that aside, at least until after, this whole fight with the green colored mech, had finally reached its conclusion.
