Well, a week had now passed since the fight against the rouges gallery of villains in the park had occurred, and everyone had gone back to their respective worlds. And yet, even though Gensei Kihara was dead, I still somehow felt uneasy, like our troubles regarding him, weren't exactly over yet. But, I had decided to push this thought to the side for the time being, and deal with what currently lay in front of me. Which was apparently the fact that Misaka had been acting somewhat off recently. As in, she would go off in the middle of the night, to who knows where.
"Hey guys, Keiko here. Just wanted to let you all know a few things before we continue the story. First, given that our AIM Diffusion Fields are intertwined with each other, and with the recent fourth wall break we had had together, which had demonstrated one of those extra abilities that brings to the table. I was slowly starting to realize exactly what it was that she was thinking at any given time. Second, this was only possible though, if I concentrated on her for long enough. Which wound up proving very useful, in the events that would wind up following. Anyway back to the story."
It all started one evening, when Misaka had decided to once again go off in the middle of the night, well past curfew, not realizing that I had been watching what it was that she was doing, and had only been pretending to be asleep. I mean, when you're concerned about your sister, and what it is she is doing out of the dorms past curfew, you have to take whatever measures you can. And upon Misaka leaving our dorm room, I then very slowly got out of my bed, and had a quick session to think to myself about what it was that I had learned through probing her thoughts. "And no, it is not weird reader, stop thinking that! Sorry, Keiko here, just had to get that off my chest."
Anyway, fourth wall break aside. Apparently Misaka had been going off in the middle of the night, because of something to do with a project called Level 6 Shift. Apparently several years ago, she had given a sample of her DNA to a lab, thinking that it was going to cure a disease called muscular dystrophy. Unfortunately, it was actually being used to produce clones of her in mass quantities for a now defunct project called Project Radio Noise. And regarding the fact that she was pretty distraught about it, I was going to do everything in my power to ensure that she didn't need to suffer through this alone. And with this thought in mind, I very silently adorned my school uniform, and made my way out of the dorms, and off in the direction Misaka had gone. Not realizing at the time, that I was about to become involved in a very bad situation with Academy City's top ranked level 5.
Anyway, after following Misaka to a railway yard, I was able to catch sight of her staring off in a state of pure shock. It was when I looked in the direction she was facing, that I realized exactly why. I mean, Accelerator is a pretty well known level 5, he is top ranked for a reason. But nothing would've prepared me for what I saw. Accelerator had taken it upon himself to take one of the many shipping containers in the railway yard, and simply drop it on one of her clones. It was then that I knew, that this was about to become a very very huge mess. "Uh, Misaka...?" Unfortunately, my sentence was never finished, as at that moment, Misaka let loose a very immense discharge of electricity, along with a huge scream. "Okay, this just got very very bad...well, at least I now know why she was skipping out for the past few nights..." I said, as a bead of sweat found its way down one side of my face.
It really was a horrific and painful sight, seeing Misaka this distraught. But, I could understand why she was feeling this way. And after she had taken it upon herself to threaten Accelerator with her railgun, I then knew that now was as good a time as any to intervene before things quickly got more out of hand. "Look Misaka, I understand you're in pain right now, but what you are doing right now isn't going to solve anything..." I hesitantly said, which instantly drew the attention of not just Misaka, but Accelerator as well...great.
"This doesn't concern you Keiko, so why don't you..." Misaka was about halfway through her sentence when I decided to interject. "I would have to say that it does concern me, or have you forgotten how things went the last time that you decided to be arrogant towards someone...namely a certain someone?" I said, obviously hinting back to when Misaka had fought against Touma down by the riverbank several months back. This, not surprisingly, caused a blush to find it's way onto Misaka's face. Okay, originally her tsundere behavior was awkward every time she showed it. Now, I had gotten used to it. Largely because after all that had recently happened, that was quite honestly the most normal thing.
Anyway, her blush wound up quickly subsiding when Accelerator decided to interrupt our current conversation. "I'm sorry did you say her name was Keiko? Oh this is perfect! Who knew that you would both find your way here! I'm Accelerator, it's a pleasure!" he said, a maniacal smirk present on his face. "And who knew you were so...well..." I was not able to finish my sentence. Because at that moment, several of the Misaka clones made themselves known, and told Accelerator that what was occurring now would mess with the upcoming experiments. This was then followed by him begrudgingly accepting this, and then walking away, leaving Misaka in shock, and me slightly bewildered. "Well, it would appear that I'm going to need to work extra hard to ensure Misaka's safety..." I thought to myself.
