This fight that me and Misaka had been having against Dr. Kiyama, had just become very very bizarre.
This was largely due to and also compounded by the fact that after me and Misaka had previously used our electricity to temporarily incapacitate her, she then staggered back, and started acting somewhat erratic.
This was then followed by a strange creature emerging from her head, to which it then turned it's attention to me and Misaka.
It was then we both knew that our fight was far from being over, and unless we both did something fast, innocent people might wind up getting hurt.
"Is this the metamorphose skill, I've heard about it, I guess it's real," Misaka said, as she looked on slightly bewildered.
It was at this point that I decided to speak up, seeing as how the creature seemed to be getting ready to attack us.
"Misaka, you need to focus, we are sort of in the middle of a situation here?!" I said trying to get Misaka back on track.
However, before Misaka could respond to what I had just said, the creature chose to emit a cry, sending several shockwaves out in all directions, whipping up quite a bit of debris in their wake.
Thankfully however, my statement seemed to have gotten through to Misaka, as when the shockwaves had rang out in all directions, we both used our electricity on some of the debris to make a shield in order to protect us against the shockwaves as well as the debris.
This was then followed by us both each using our electricity to each launch an attack on the creature, only to have it regenerate, and then grow in size slightly.
This, not surprisingly, was met with frustration by me, and shock by Misaka, which quickly faded away when I knew that as long as we both went at it, I knew that we would find some sort of solution to win this fight.
However, and to make the situation worse then it currently was, it was discovered that Uiharu had made her way down to where me and Misaka had been fighting against Dr. Kiyama.
This, not surprisingly, terrified the both of us. I mean, how would you feel if your friend had wound up putting themselves in harms way?
However, this quickly turned to terror and fear for both of us, as the creature chose that moment to conjure up several large objects of what I could only describe to be crystals, and then proceeded to hurl them at us.
We then both proceeded to us our electricity to shatter them all in midair.
And after Misaka told Uiharu that she shouldn't have come down and put herself in harms way. I decided to once again speak up.
"I understand where you are coming from Misaka, but you have to remember that she is a member of Judgment, and I think you will find that she can take care of herself when it comes to being in situations like this," I said, turning to Uiharu and flashing a smile, to which she returned the same smile.
However, Misaka didn't hear what I had said, because at that moment, our attention was drawn back to the creature, which had chosen to turn away from us.
"It's not after us?" Misaka asked. However, it would soon become apparent as to why this was the case.
Okay this situation was now very slowly spiraling out of control.
This was largely due to the fact that Anti-Skill had taken it upon themselves to commence firing at the creature, unaware that their bullets were making the creature increase in size, and just making the situation worse.
Thankfully, as one of the Anti-Skill officers had run out of ammo, and was about to be more then likely killed by the creature. Me and Misaka stepped in, and were able to us our electromagnetism to draw her to us, and a good amount of distance away from the creature.
"What are you two doing here, this is no place for civilians?" she asked.
"Honestly, why does everyone keep referring to us as that, you know, we're both getting pretty tired of being called that!" I said with a hint of frustration clearly evident in my tone of voice.
This was then followed by Misaka conjuring up some of her electricity, and using it to slice off a part of one of the appendages of the the creature.
"That thing will only attack if you provoke it!" Misaka added in, also with a hint of frustration evident in her tone of voice.
I then turned my attention to Misaka.
"Well Misaka, you mind at all if I have you take the lead on this?" I asked.
"Keiko, I would be disappointed if you didn't," Misaka said in response.
And as we both charged forward, not knowing how this was going to play out, which thankfully, after a bit of struggle, we managed to destroy the creature's core, and with that, stop the creature from further continuing its rampage and putting anymore innocent people at risk.
And as Dr. Kiyama was being taken into custody by Anti-Skill later on, she vowed to find a way to cure the students whose lives had been destroyed by the Level Upper Network.
But she also challenged to stop me and Misaka if we wound up not agreeing with her methods.
It was also discovered, that Saten had recovered from her coma, but she had lost her Esper powers from when she and her friends had used the Level Upper.However, we were all just glad that she was alright, and in good health again.
And to tell you the truth, despite being in a tough situation with that creature, I think that Misaka and I handled it very well.
And if that was what we had to look forward to in the future, I figured that things were looking pretty darn good.
Being a level 5 Electromaster, and being ranked 3rd best in Academy City, does have its benefits after all.
However, things would wind up being very very not good.
But, more on that at a later date.
