Chapter 79 - Chapter 79: A Chain Of Memories!: Memories Erased, With Less Then 24 Hours Away From Forever!

"Hello viewers...Keiko here...*I say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers before bringing my attention back up again in order to continue to address the viewers*...Now then, I am well aware that I have skipped an episode...You know viewers...the Balloon Hunter event episode...But fret not viewers...because I have gone and done this for a very good reason...As I will be lightly referencing about it throughout the course of the next few chapters...Think of this then viewers...as a unique way to cover more then one episode at a time...But first viewers, before we go into this episode...a quick recap of the previously told episode is in order...*I say this, while smiling with both eyes closed, and my head tilted to one side, in a cute manner*"

And here is the episode recap in question...

And as of right now, me and Kongo, were currently at the start line, of the three legged race. And to be completely honest, I still wasn't at all confident about working with Kongo. But, given the circumstances, and what I had been shown in my visions. I felt, as though this was the only possible way, to prepare myself, for what was still too come.

But for now, I had to focus on what was in front of me, which was me and Kongo working together, to win the three legged race. And so, before the race began.

"Well Keiko, it is time for the festival to see the will of Tokiwadai's masters of wind and lightning," Kongo suddenly said to me out of the blue. Which not surprisingly, wound up catching me off slightly.

But, before I could respond to what she had just said, the race organizer fired his gun, to signify the start of the race. And before me and Kongo managed to get off the line, one of the other races participants, who had been wrapped in a sort of slew of bandages, wound up shouting out something, only for the many bandages, to unravel from her person, and then cover several of the other participants, including me and Kongo, in them.

And on top of that, her partner, had put her hand to the road, and had coated the aforementioned bandages in asphalt from the road. Which made the bandages, just that much more sticky, and also very gross.

But, me and Kongo, as well as the other participants, managed to quickly untangle ourselves. And once this had happened, me and Kongo, then took off after the other two participants.

But, as me and Kongo then took off after the two of them...

"Good luck catching up to us losers!" The girl wound up saying, as she quickly turned around to mock me and Kongo.

And not surprisingly, I wound up taking a sort of offense to this. But, my less then pleased looking expression, then wound up changing to a slight smirk. Because, as the two other contestants, passed under an overhanging branch of a tree. I then noticed several of what looked like hamsters, jump onto the both of them.

And the reason for why I was smirking? Well, lets just say, that the hamsters, wound up taking something from the both of them, that wound up rendering them both immobile.

"Hey viewers...Keiko here...And for the record...what you are thinking that the hamsters had taken from them...that is exactly what they took...And no viewers...I am not going to tell you what it was, as that is entirely not appropriate...And if you don't know...then I suggest you think hard...Now then viewers...back to the race..."

Now then fourth wall breaking aside for the moment. And as me and Kongo, raced by the other two immobilized participants. And as the hamsters tried for me and Kongo, they simply wound up bouncing off of us both. And the reason why? Well remember that an Esper has an AIM Diffusion Field, and as for me, since I was an Electromaster...this meant that I could use it, to repel things. Which in this case, were the hamsters.

And, with this first obstacle, now taken care of. Me and Kongo, then continued on, towards the finish line. And, as me and Kongo, had taken off from the start line, we had taken some of the residue of the asphalt adhesive bandages with us. And interestingly enough, this would wind up benefiting us both on our way towards the finish line. And the best part was, I was already aware, on how me and Kongo were going to use it.

And, as me and Kongo rounded a corner further down the races course, I then then took notice, of one of the participants, who was behind us, then use his pyrokinesist ability, to try and trip us up. But, both he and his partner in the race, as they made it towards the finish line, wound up tripping over each other.

But, as they reached out of bounds. Kongo then sprung into action, as did I. While Kongo wound up using her Aero Hand ability on a nearby mat, that lined the boundaries of the race tracks boundaries. And in combination with my electromagnetism, to swing us both from a nearby lamppost. We managed to leap over both of the downed participants, just as the mat, that had been launched with Kongo's Aero Hand, wound up saving both of the other participants from certain injury or harm. And to soften the blow they both endured, we had used the residue from the bandages, that were covered in the asphalt.

And moreover, as me and Kongo crossed the finish line. And were announced as the first place finishers of the three legged race. I then knew, that maybe Kongo, wasn't all that bad after all. I mean sure, she has her flaws, what with her liking to hear herself talk far too much. But, I figured that given who she was, and how much she had helped me and Misaka over the course of the past few weeks. I decided to push my previous feelings of her to the side, and just accept her for who she was.

But, though I did not know it at that current moment, that in just two more days time. I would wind up coming into yet another encounter, with the two other versions of myself. And more importantly, the rest of The Four Aces Alliance.

And now, with the recap of the last episode now done, we will now head right into episode 4...of Railgun T.

Date: September 20, 2009

"Hello viewers...Keiko here again...*I say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers before bringing my attention back up again in order to continue to address the viewers*...Now then viewers...you may have noticed the date above...Notice anything significant about it?...You should, as it is the exact same date that coincides with the other two fanfics that are connected to this one...Yes viewers...the day has finally arrived...for our next meeting, and imminent encounter with the rest of The Four Aces Alliance...And rest assured viewers...you will not be disappointed...Now then viewers...on with the episode...*I say this, while smiling with both eyes closed, and my head tilted to one side, in a cute manner*"

Okay, so as it currently stood, me and Misaka, had just come into contact with Kuroko, Uiharu, and Saten. But, however, something seemed quite off about the whole situation. And the reason for why this was the case?

"What do you mean you don't recognize either of us?!" I said, with quite a distraught sounding tone in my voice.

"I mean that I don't know who the both of you are, I have never seen either of you before in my life," Kuroko Shirai said to me in response.

"Okay, this has the scent of Misaki Shokuhou all over it!...And to think that I trusted her during our fight against Galaxia and the rest of the rouges gallery back on August 9...Then again...this is exactly the kind of rubbish that someone like Shokuhou would do to me and Misaka..." I thought to myself, with a very less then pleased expression upon my face.

But, as I looked towards Misaka, I then took immediate notice, that she wasn't in the best of condition either.

And, as Kuroko, Uiharu, and Saten walked away. I then decided to use my Telepath Ability, to see into her thoughts temporarily. And not surprisingly...

"Now you've crossed the line...Shokuhou!" I heard Misaka quite angrily think to herself, as she wound up tightening both of her hands into very tight fists.

And it was then that I more then knew, that when it came to crossing the line. Shoukuhou, had more then done so, by choosing to use her Mental Out ability, to erase the memories of Kuroko, Uiharu, and Saten.

And to be honest, I didn't blame either of us, for behaving in this sort of manner. I mean after all, this was about as violating, as one could get. When it came to going after our friends, without causing any physical harm to any of them.

And it was then that I also knew, that Angel Bluebell, or Shinko Hanasaki, as I knew her more as, had every right, to have acted towards those like Galaxia in the manner that she had done back on August 9.

But, as both me and Misaka stewed in our anger. A couple of quick vision like images, then flashed across my vision. And these, were quite significant.

The first image, was the vision version of me, just having slammed one of my fists into the ground, as I was sobbing quite uncontrollably, as tears streamed down both of my cheeks. "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. 

But unlike the last line of vision like images, these wound up catching me quite off guard. As I was then presented with a shadowed, but familiar figure, then start to dash out in front of my vision self. And, just before they had stopped right in front of me. Another image, wound up flashing across my vision. And this one, was of a large group of people, standing together in an alleyway. "So Li, do you happen to have your Lasin Board with you?" One of them wound asking another of the figures that was present in the alley. "Li, would you just humor her for a second?...I mean after all, do you happen to have any better ideas?" Another one of them asked the same person that been asked by the other.

But, before I could react to these images, I was snapped out of my stupor again...

"I see that I have you attention now don't I Keiko?" An all too familiar sounding disembodied voice wound saying to me all of the sudden, which wound up catching me completely off guard.

"Okay seriously?! Do you do this to people on a regular basis?! How about giving some sort of warning beforehand?!" I said in response to the disembodied voice with a pretty displeased sounding tone.

"Oh I would Keiko, but what would be the fun in me choosing to do that?" The disembodied voice wound up saying back to me in response.

I was just about to respond back to whoever this disembodied voice was, only, I then realized something.

But, since whoever this was could read my mind, I decided to instantly push it to the side before they could find out what I was thinking.

"Hello viewers...Keiko here...*I say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers before bringing my attention back up again in order to continue to address the viewers*...Now then, as for what I had been thinking?...Well viewers...if I were to tell you that, then that would defeat the purpose of tempting all of you to want to read on...Oh, and for the record viewers...I am well aware that this was the tail end of Railgun T episode 4...And as for the next episode?...Well I'm not going to go into a lot of detail right now viewers...But lets just say...that a certain member, of a group with the same name...will wind up being our next opponent...Now then viewers...with this now very much fresh, on all of your minds...I will be seeing all you lot in the next episode...okay?...*I say this, while smiling with both eyes closed, and my head tilted to one side, in a cute manner*"
