"Hello viewers...Keiko here...*I say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers, before bringing my attention back up again. To which I then proceed, to smile with both eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a cute manner. To which I then open my brown eyes again, in order to continue, to properly address the viewers*...Anyways viewers...we will now be heading, into what is episode one of Railgun season T…or season 3…But first viewers...let us now, quickly recap the previous chapters of the last episode...shall we?....*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"
And, here is the recap of the previous episode in question...
And, as it currently stood, we were all currently at the several areas that housed the 20,000 mechs. And as for me and Misaka? Well...
"You know, I never would've guessed, that this was going to wind up being our plan of attack...But seeing as how we have Judgment having our back this time...Even without Anti-Skill...I feel as though we have this battle with STUDY already won...Which by the way viewers...is an inference, and not a confirmed correct guess...Now then viewers...what do you say, that you just sit, back, and enjoy reading the following chapters, of STUDY, getting what they truly deserve?...A proper thrashing!" I thought to myself, while me, Misaka, and Febrie, were bounding from building rooftop to building rooftop, on our way to the Reach Assembly area. And, I was still able during this, to briefly turn my attention to the right, of me, to briefly address the viewers.
And, upon me and Misaka getting to our intended destination, which was the main Reach Assembly area. I then decided, to make our presence know.
"Knock knock Aritomi, anyone home? I hope you're ready to answer for the harm that you caused to my sister. Because I am going to take a bit of pleasure, in making you pay for having done that!" I wound up saying, with a witty looking smirk present on my face, that would make even Heath Ledger's Joker giddy.
And, upon Aritomi, commanding the mechs on site, to take us out, so to speak. I then, couldn't help, but let out a big sort of sigh.
However, before I could speak up again, Misaka decided to do so instead.
"Keiko, I would save the rest of your witty banter, for during the fight," Misaka wound up saying to me, as she turned to me, with a sort of knowing smile, present on her face. And this, was while she was still holding Febrie.
"Oh, right Misaka...I wouldn't be willing to do anything less..."
So, as it currently stood, me and Misaka, who at the moment, who was still holding Febrie, were currently looking at quite a lot of charging unpiloted mechs. However, this wasn't going to be the case for much longer.
And, upon Misaka setting Febrie down for the moment, and Misaka, then briefly turning her attention to me. To which she then gave a sort of nod, that I returned a split second later. We then, prepared ourselves, for the fight, against Aritomi, and his mechs.
"Misaka, why don't I have you take the lead for the current moment?" I said, with a very heartwarming smile on my face, as electricity, was currently still crackling, through the bangs of my hair. And, upon me having it flow through to my right hand, which wound up conjuring up a bit of iron sand. Which I then used, to form a razor sharp iron sand composed sword. Which was similar to the one, that Misaka had conjured up, during her fight against Touma, down by the riverbank.
However, the difference with my iron sand composed sword. Was that it suspiciously resembled a sword, that was currently in the possession, of a certain light blue haired love angel. One who would wind up coming up with a plan, that would wind up going down, as the most elaborate, but actually quite simple plan, in anime history.
And, upon Misaka, now using her electricity, to conjure up an iron sand composed sword of her own. We then, proceeded to use our respective iron sand swords, to cut the currently charging mechs to pieces.
"Hey viewers...Keiko here...Yes, I know, not the most ideal time to be breaking the fourth wall on all of you...but you are all probably wondering..."
"Keiko!...Not right now!...Save it until after the battle!...*Misaka suddenly winds up saying this to me, with a somewhat less then pleased looking expression on her face*"
"Okay fine Misaka...you're no fun...*I say this, while letting out a very audible, and defeated sounding sigh. Which suddenly wound up changing into a very cute looking pout*...Now then viewers...back to the fight."
And so, putting the fourth wall breaks aside, at least for the moment. I then, wound up seeing a series of images, then suddenly flash across my vision.
The first one, was of one of the previous vision like images, that I had seen before. Which was Misaka, glowing a very bright blue, and her body, currently looking very unstable. And me and her, were currently in a somewhat open area, that seemed to be in ruin.
But, the next few images, were ones that I hadn't been shown yet. As one of them, was me, currently on the ground, slamming one of my fists into the ground, with a very upset looking expression on my face. And to make it just that much worse, what I was saying, was what wound up slightly flooring me.
"It's all my fault Misaka, you didn't deserve to have this done to you. I am so so sorry, that I couldn't protect you more. It should've been me...not you!" My vision self wound up saying, between sheer distraught sobs, and the immense tears, streaming down my vision selves cheeks.
And upon seeing this happen, I wound up stopping dead in my tracks, with my iron sand composed sword, now completely disintegrating. And it was, while tears of my own, then suddenly started streaming down my cheeks. Almost as if I knew, that what was going to happen, in the not too distant future. And depending on how it played out, would wind up, making the sheer difference, between life, and death.
Okay, so given my current situation, which was me, still with tears, streaming down my face from the last chapter.
And, given my currently dire situation, what with several of the mechs, charging towards me. It looked as though, it was curtains for me. But thankfully...
"Keiko, you need to be more attentive!" An all too familiar sounding female voice said from behind me, as several familiar pin darts, then whizzed forward in front of my vision, and then impacted several of the mechs, and in turn wound up completely immobilizing them. To which they exploded about a split second after they had been immobilized.
But, it wasn't the pin darts, that wound up snapping me out of my tear streaming stupor. In fact, it was the whooshing popping like sound, that usually occurred, when Kuroko Shirai teleported into, and out of my vicinity.
"Oh r-right, my bad Kuroko, I will try..." I said, only to be cutoff mid statement, as several more images, now wound up flashing across my vision.
And these, like most of my last vision like images, were also ones that I hadn't seen before.
The first, was of a curvature of the Earth. Which was then followed, by a very large looking satellite. But, before I could say anything, I heard a disembodied voice, then call out to me. "It's Aritomi's last resort in case you were wondering..." The disembodied voice, wound up calling out to me with just a hint of sass.
"Who are you?! Show yourself!" I wound up yelling out into the vision.
"Really, is that how you talk to someone, who has been helping you out?" The disembodied voice wound saying back to me in response. Only this time, with even more sass in its tone.
"What are you talking about?" I now wound up responding back to the voice, now with quite a bit of surprise and shock in my tone.
"Look Keiko, if I were you, then I would be more concerned in having you and Misaka, using your railguns, to destroy Aritomi's last resort. Because if you both don't, then neither of you, are going to have a world anymore. And it won't just be you, who winds up paying for it in the end." The disembodied voice, then wound up saying to me in response, while hinting at the fact, that whoever they were, they knew about the Four Aces Alliance, as well as the other versions of myself.
But, before I could attempt to speak up, the disembodied voice, then wound up answering my lingering question, even though I hadn't asked it yet.
"And yes Keiko, I know all about the other versions of yourself, and the rest of your alliance," the disembodied voice then responded with.
And not surprisingly...
"Hold on a sec, did you just read my mind?!...What?!...Just who the heck are you?!" I now wound up saying in response, with a now very pissed off looking expression, on my face.
"You will learn about who I am in due time Keiko. But for now, you, Misaka, and Kuroko, have Aritomi's Last Resort to destroy," the disembodied voice, now wound up saying to me in response.
And, all of the sudden, the vision around me, then got bright, and before I knew it, I was back in the current situation.
And, not wanting to waste another second, I then chose to speak up to Kuroko and Misaka, in an effort, to tell them, my new idea of attack.
"Kuroko, Misaka, we need to act fast. But for now, we take this fight, to the sky!" I said, while giving off a very whimsical looking expression. Which not surprisingly, caused very confused expressions, to suddenly make their way, across both of Kuroko and Misaka's faces.
And given my current tone of voice, I couldn't say that I was surprised. Given the current situation, and the fact that it was not the best time, to be saying something like this, in my current tone.
Okay, so maybe I shouldn't have said my statement to Kuroko and Misaka I'm the whimsical like manner that I had said it in. But, given what I was about to suggest regarding my plan, it actually wound up softening the blow so too speak. Well, when I mean soften the blow…
"You realize what you're saying and suggesting right? You expect us to somehow get to space, and take down a missile?" Kuroko said to me, after I had wound up telling her and Misaka, what I had just witnessed from my visions.
But thankfully, Misaka was quick to answer, in an effort, to clear up what exactly I was suggesting.
"I think what Keiko is trying to say here Kuroko, is that we need you to teleport us there," Misaka said in response, to basically let Kuroko know, that I order for us to get to where Aritomi's Last Resort was, we would need her help.
"Hey viewers…Keiko here…and before you all ask how we are going to breath up in space…Let me remind you, that this is an anime…as in, most of the rules in the real world…don't exactly apply to something like this…Now then, back to the story."
So, fourth wall break aside, at leas for the moment. There was now the glaring issue of how me and Misaka were going to destroy Aritomi's Last Resort, with our railguns. What would've been helpful, was if the disembodied voice from my visions, had been just a bit more specific and clear, on how we're both supposed to do that.
But thankfully, this lingering question of mine was suddenly answered...
"Well, given that it is a missile of sorts, then might I suggest that you use Ekaterina II S?" The unmistakable voice of one Mitsuko Kongo, suddenly chimed in with saying, as her voice, suddenly wound up blaring through the loudspeakers of the stadium, that we were all currently in.
Now, what Kongo meant by that, was a large mech, that had been designed by her father. And she had apparently, had named it after her boa constrictor, of the same name.
And as for Aritomi? Well, apparently we wouldn't be able to get anywhere near the missile in question, without Aritomi activating it. And so, with this in mind, me and Misaka, then decided to confront Aritomi, so that he could activate it, and would thus, allow us to locate it, and then destroy it.
But apparently, Aritomi seemed to have planned, that something like this would wind up happening, and sure enough, as one of the stadiums big screens, lit up with his face on it. He apparently, hadn't exactly been listening, to what I had said.
"Oh, well look what the cat dragged in! So Lucky Strike...Railgun? What makes you think, that you are going to be able to get anywhere near me?" Aritomi said from the screen in question, with quite a bit of arrogance in his tone.
Which pretty much compounded the fact, that he hadn't quite heard, of what either myself, or Kongo had said. And although it had me breath a sort of sigh of relief. My demeanor however, was about to change.
"Oh, and I have a surprise for the both of you! Let me introduce you, to three of my most prized mechs! You remember 'number four' don't you?!" Aritomi said, as three very large white colored mechs, suddenly appeared. And given Aritomi's slight hinting, at a certain 4th ranked level 5 Espers epithet. I then, couldn't help, but give off a very noticeable smirk, which was quickly followed, by me starting to giggle slightly.
"What's so funny?!" Aritomi wound up angrily asking me.
"Oh nothing, it's just that, given what you just said. And speaking of 'number four...'" I said, while still maintaining my smirk.
And not surprisingly, as if to confirm what I had just said. Out of nowhere, several familiar green lasers, suddenly wound up striking all three of the mechs, and destroyed them all instantly.
"Ah Meltdowner, right on time," I said, while still maintaining my smirk.
And now, with the sudden appearance of Mugino, along with the rest of ITEM. I then, with now knowing, that things regarding the mechs were now covered. Me and Misaka, then made our way, towards Aritomi, who at the moment, was in his control room.
And, upon happening upon Aritomi inside of the control room...
"Stay back, both of you!" Aritomi said, who at the moment, had a gun pointed at his own head.
"Or what Aritomi? What are you going to do? Use your so called 'last resort' in a desperate attempt to wipe all Espers off of the Earth? And yes Aritomi, we know all about your AIM Bomb," I said to Aritomi in response, as I now knew, exactly what Aritomi's 'last resort' was. Well not exactly, more like, I took a sort of guess, from what I had read at some point in the Tokiwadai Middle School library, regarding an AIM Bomb, as well as what it was, and what it looked like.
Which believe it or not, very much had resembled, the satellite, that I had been shown in my visions.
And apparently...
"Well then Keiko, how about I just show you all, just how powerful an AIM Bomb truly is!" Aritomi suddenly said, as he then pressed a random button, that had been on a control panel in front of him.
And upon me having seen him do this...
"Why thank you Aritomi. You just saved us the trouble, of having to locate it. So like I said Aritomi, you will now wind up paying, for the harm that you caused to my sister. And, I will see to it, that Anti-Skill, winds up giving you a nice cozy cell, one that has a window view, and a nice pillow!" I said to Aritomi, who at the moment, was now starting to lose more of his composure.
"Damn you! How dare you make a mockery out of me!" Aritomi said, as he suddenly wound up turning the gun on me.
"Oh, so about that gun of yours Aritomi...." I began to say, only for my statement, to be cut short. As an all too familiar looking pin dart, suddenly whizzed in front of my vision, impacted Aritomi's gun straight down its barrel, and thus rendered it useless. And, made Aritomi, drop the gun to the floor, in a fit of complete shock.
"Ah Kuroko, right on time. I see that you..." I began to say.
"Keiko, save the talking for after we have destroyed the AIM Bomb!" Misaka suddenly wound up saying to me in response.
But, before I could attempt to talk back, in an attempt to make Misaka aware, that Aritomi was still a bit of a threat. This was then confirmed to no longer be the case, as a certain familiar looking attack, then wound up whizzing by Aritomi's face, only missing him by a few inches.
And upon seeing Kongo, who then said that she would look after Aritomi, until Anti-Skill, wound up taking him into custody.
I then thanked Kongo, to which me, Kuroko, and Misaka, then ran back out of the stadium, and off to get Ekaterina II S, so that we could use it as a pair of improvised railguns, in order to destroy the AIM Bomb.
And, with all three of us, now on top of the mech in question, and its boosters then activating, to send the three of us upwards towards space. We then, once we had happened upon the device in question, then decided on our next portion of the plan.
But, however, and all three of us stood on top of the mech...
"Kuroko, leave this to the both of us!" I said, as me and Misaka, then prepared, to launch the mech at the currently arming AIM Bomb, as a pair of improvised railguns.
And, not wanting to waste anymore time, Kuroko wound up jumping off of the mech. And once she had done so, me and Misaka, then proceeded, to prepare to launch the mech.
And, upon me envisioning the all too familiar pair of electricity lashed rails, extending out to infinity in my mind. Me and Misaka, then each pulled a fist back, and slammed them into the back of the mech.
And, almost immediately, it sent the mech, propelling towards the AIM Bomb, as the mech, then split in two, as two separate railguns.
And not surprisingly, as me and Misaka started falling back, towards the earths atmosphere. We both, then blacked out, having now exhausted ourselves, due to a bit of fatigue.
But, upon us both falling down towards the earths atmosphere. And given our current condition, we were not able to notice Kuroko, manage to teleport us, back to the ground safely.
And, as Anti-Skill, then arrived, and took Aritomi, and the rest of STUDY, into custody. The fight against STUDY, was finally over.
But, though none of us knew it yet. My visions, were a warning, for what was still too come.
But more on that, at a bit later of a date.
And now, with the recap of the previous chapter, now done and over with. We will now, be heading into, the first part, of episode 1, of Railgun T. Or, Railgun Season 3, if you want to be more specific.
Date: September 18, 2009
"Hello viewers...Keiko here...*I say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers, before bringing my attention back up again. To which I then proceed, to smile with both eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a cute manner. To which I then open my brown eyes again, in order to continue, to properly address the viewers*...Now I know what you are all probably wondering...why is the above date September 18?...Well, I believe it was one Shinko Hanasaki...who said it best herself in chapter 4 of Going In Completely Blind...time in the anime...moves a bit slower...then one would think...I mean after all viewers...2 weeks have passed since the end of our fight against STUDY...but, if you take a closer look at the date...you will notice, that it is just days...before a certain event, in the other two fics, that are connected to this one...Yes viewers...we are now just two days away...from our next encounter...with the rest of The Four Aces Alliance...And rest assured viewers...you're going to love, what is going to take place during it...I mean after all viewers...they don't call them The 90s Magical Girl Trinity for no reason...*I proceed to smile just a bit more*...Now then viewers...on with the chapter...*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"
Okay, so at the current moment, me and Misaka, were currently standing side by side. Each of us, just having fired a railgun each, in an effort, to intercept a falling beam, from a stage in front of us, from crushing Uiharu and Saten...
"But viewers...Hello, Keiko here again...Anyway, we seem to be getting a bit ahead here...so, lets wind things back a bit to just before this...shall we?...*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"
Okay, so winding back to just a couple of minutes before this, and given the current setting. Me and Misaka were getting prepared, for the upcoming Daihasei Festival. But, given the vision images, that had been shown to me of Misaka in an unstable state not too long ago.
I had managed to convince Misaka, to have me do the events in her place. Since I had absolutely not idea, what to expect regarding what was shown in the visions. So, I wanted to make sure that Misaka was up to her usual high standard, should we need to protect each other or defend ourselves, at a moments notice.
But, though I did not know it at the time, this decision I had made, to take Misaka's place, would wind up benefiting us both, in the long run.
But, now moving forward to the current situation. Well, a bit before it...
"Okay...moving bit fast here hmm Misaka?" I thought to myself, as we both wound up leaping forward off of the side of a nearby building, having used our electricity, to cling to it.
And, upon getting to just in front of the stage, just as the beam was falling. Misaka pulled out an arcade coin, while I pulled out one of my own. And, in a split second, as both coins flipped through the air, and had rested between our respective two fingers. We fired, each producing our respective railguns. Only I had fired mine, just after Misaka had fired hers.
And the benefit of this, was that Misaka's railgun, wound up knocking the beam sharply upwards. While my railgun, which was aimed a bit higher then hers was wound up sending the steel beam laterally. By hitting it underneath, and sending it spinning back behind us.
And, as the beam came crashing to the ground with a massive crashing bang...
"Is that...yes, it is the Electromaster sisters...Lucky Strike and Railgun..." The voice of somebody then said from the crowd.
And this wound up with me blushing slightly, since I wasn't expecting this sort of praise, from a sort of random stranger.
"Okay...so that was unexpected...I never knew that me and Misaka...had developed such a reputation in short amount of time..." I thought to myself, which while I was still slightly blushing, managed to give off a sort of small smile.
"Hey Keiko?" The voice of Misaka then spoke up with saying, which snapped me out of my stupor.
"Yes Misaka?" I asked her in response.
"You're blushing," Misaka wound up saying to me, with a sort of tone in her voice, to sort of let me know, that this was not the best time to be blushing the way that I was.
"Oh r-right," I said in response, with a sort of somewhat embarrassed tone in my voice. To which I then stopped blushing, and a stoic demeanor, then returned to my face.
"Hey viewers...Keiko here again...*I say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers, before bringing my attention back up again. To which I then proceed, to smile with both eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a cute manner. To which I then open my brown eyes again, in order to continue, to properly address the viewers*...So viewers...this now marks the end of the first part of this episode...But, will be getting right back into the action, in the next part...Which, will wind up being the second part, of Railgun T episode 1...And viewers?...Regarding the number of parts, that this episode is going to have...Well, in a sort of change of pace, I am not going to tell you...*I say this while smiling slightly*...This should entice you all enough, to want to anticipate each chapter...So then viewers, I will be seeing all of you lot in the next chapter...okay?....*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"
