Okay, I don't care who these guys think they were.
Even if they were part of a gang, you don't just beat up innocent people just because you feel like you can.
This was the unfortunate scene that Misaka, myself and Kuroko happened upon when we were looking around an abandoned part of Academy City.
The reason for this?
We were looking for a gang by the name of Big Spider.
"Honestly, it is so amazing how quickly the hunter can become the hunted," Misaka said with a hint of frustration, as electricity sparked through the bangs of her hair, which drew the attention of all the gang members in the alley to the three of us.
"And to tell you the truth, it really does make me sick that you would do this to innocent people," I added matching Misaka's frustration, as electricity also sparked through the bangs of my hair.
"Time for you to face Judgment," Kuroko said.
And right after two of the thugs each threw in an insult.
Misaka and I took the opportunity to conjure up quite a bit of electricity, and fire it at a few of the thugs present in the alley, causing them to scream, and causing them to drop, and hit the ground, hard.
Once the fight was over, with several of the thugs pinned to the alley walls by Kuroko's pin dart. Me and Misaka, then decided to speak up.
"Honestly, why did you have to go and make it so difficult?" Misaka said with a deadpanned sort of tone to her voice.
"I mean honestly, you all could've made it much easier on yourselves, if you had just not bothered fighting against us in the first place," I said, as I then let out an audible sigh.
And it was now just a short time later, and just after the three of us had finally locating Big Spider's hideout But me, Misaka, and Kuroko, then suddenly found ourselves face to face with several more of Big Spider's thugs.
However, we were soon going to learn, that they were harboring a secret weapon, one that would render the three of us, completely unable to use our Esper abilities.
It started when the gangs leader, Wataru Kurozuma, or someone calling himself Wataru Kurozuma, came out from inside of the hideout, not quite happy that a member of Judgment had paid his gang a visit.
Even more so that Kuroko was placing him under arrest for leading the multiple attacks on the innocent Espers.
However, it was as Kuroko told me and Misaka that she had things covered, that things started to quickly fall apart.
Because at that very moment, all three of us heard a very shrill noise, causing all three of us to put our hands to our ears, and to make matters worse, none of us could think straight.
Which was bad news for us with regards to being able to use our Esper abilities.
Since we needed to properly calculate in order to properly use our abilities, and you can't do that if you can't think straight.
It really did look like the three of us were not only down, but it looked like were out for the count as well.
It really did look like this was the end of the line for me, Kuroko, and Misaka.
As all three of us found ourselves with our hands to the sides of our heads, in unimaginable pain from the shrillest noise we had ever experienced.
And to make matters even worse, we couldn't even concentrate for even a second to calculate in order for any of the three of us to use our Esper abilities.
Man, talk about being caught between a rock and a hard place huh?
However, we were soon going to finally get some reprieve, as a figure then suddenly swooped in. Which the three of us recognized as the guy from before who had helped us with finding Big Spider's hideout earlier in the day.
And it turned out, after he had finished beating the entire Big Spider gang single-handedly, despite several of them running off, and destroying their capacity down. That he was actually Wataru Kurozama, and the person who was the current leader of Big Spider, was actually someone else entirely. Someone who I would learn later on, was named Hebitani Tsuguo.
It was then revealed by Konori, that Wataru Kurozoma was actually an old acquaintance of hers. But, as Konori was seen blushing around him, I then started to think, that there was far more to the both of them, then just being acquaintances.
But, despite this being a surprise to me, Misaka, and Kuroko, I was just glad that we all managed to get out of this mess without any sort of a huge issue.
And, a bit later on, after once again encountering Hebatani, and the rest of Big Spider, in another location. In which Konori and Kurozoma, decided to take it upon themselves to dispatch the rest of what was left of Big Spider.
And they also wound up telling me, Misaka, and Kuroko, to leave the fight to them. And although I wasn't exactly happy about it, I decided, to just abide their request. Even though it didn't exactly sit well with me.
But, that didn't mean that I still couldn't send a sort of message to Big Spider. To which I had decided, to take it upon myself, to completely destroy their Capacity Down system, with the use of my railgun.
Which, not surprisingly, sent enough of a statement to the gang not to mess with me or Misaka. But, before the three of us had been sidelined, I had decided to say something to the remainder of Big Spider.
"Oh, I'm sorry were you planning to use that annoying system of yours again?! Do you even realize who it is that you are messing with?! You may know of Mikoto Misaka?! The Railgun, and The Ace Of Tokiwadai?! Well, I'm her sister, the name's Keiko "Lucky Strike" Misaka, and it's best that you remember it!" I said, while a cocky smirk was very much evident, on my face. And while the hand and arm that I had fired my railgun from to destroy their Capacity Down system, still continued to spark with electricity.
Man, that capacity down really does render you completely useless doesn't it?
