"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 viewers...let us now get on with the chapter...But first viewers...like always...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...
Date: September 20, 2009
Okay, so as it currently stood, from the last chapter, me and Misaka, were currently looking for #10032. But, this was sort of halted at the current moment for the time being. And the reason? Well...
"This is what you do to our friends, you disgust me!" Misaka said to a man, who was currently on the ground, having been slapped across the face by me. And this individual, was one Baba Yoshio. As in the very same Baba, who had interfered with Misaka #10032 during the Balloon Hunter event.
And interestingly enough, Baba was also a member of a group, of the same name....Member.
But, upon seeing Baba's currently very frightened expression. He then, not surprisingly, wound up attempting to flee the area. But, neither me or Misaka, was going to let him get very far.
"*I let out a huge sigh before speaking up*...Honestly, why do villains like him always run? Well Misaka, what do you say that we teach him a lesson for attacking and messing with our friends?" I said, while I turned my attention to Misaka.
The only thing was, as I turned my attention to Misaka, I then noticed, that her expression, had now gone completely cold and emotionless. And it was then that I knew, that Baba had completely crossed the line.
And, as the both of us caught up to him in the area that he had fled to. We were then met, by a somewhat large looking machine, that was for some reason, in the shape of a preying mantis.
And, as the mantis opened one of its menacing looking steel claws, and attempted to strike us both with it. I could only let out a huge sigh, as I then quickly conjured up an iron sand composed sword, to which I then swung it across the connection point to the mantis' claw, severing it instantly, and sending it spinning back behind me and Misaka. To which it then wound up impaling itself in the concrete ground.
And upon the mantis shaped machine, then deciding to try and turn around and speed away. Neither one of us, was going to let that happen. And as me and Misaka, then used a bit of our electricity, to hold the mantis in place. I then decided to speak up.
"Yea no, you're not getting away, not after you decided to try and harm our friends...So Baba, hopefully now, you...will take...the hint!" I said, my usual calm and kind looking demeanor, now turning to just as cold and expressionless as Misaka's currently was. As we both, then used our electricity, to rip one of the portions of the mantis apart.
And, as we both walked up to one of the communication sensors, of the mantis. We then, took our turns, in speaking to Baba through it, who was currently cowering, in his panic room.
"So Baba...hopefully now you realize just how badly you messed up! And wherever you are right now, I hope this has now taught you a valuable lesson!" I said, while Misaka held the communication device in question, in a currently very tight grasp.
"So, the next time that you try to come after either one of us, or our friends, we will not wind up being as lenient!" Misaka now spoke up with saying.
And so, with Baba now pretty much defeated, who was currently still cowering in his panic room. Though not as pathetically as John Edward from a certain episode of South Park. We both felt, that we had both done a good job, in taking care of Baba.
However, in just a short bit of time from now, we would soon be locked in a much more important battle. One, like back on August 9, would once again put Academy City, and two other anime dimensions, in grave danger.
And, now that the recap of the previous episode is now done, we will now move into episode 7...
And, as it currently stood, me and Misaka, were currently both, in a very less then stellar or happy mood. And the reason? Well about that...
"Can you two please wait up? I can't run as fast as you both!" The unmistakably annoying voice of one Misaki Shokuhou wound up saying to the both of us, as she was currently struggling to keep pace with us both.
And not surprisingly...
"Well Shokuhou, are you having trouble keeping up with the both of us? I thought that you participated in the athletic like activities at Tokiwadai like the both of us did? Well Shokuhou...it looks as though, that is clearly not the case...And you know what viewers?...It is just so difficult to say any of this, without looking as smug as I currently do right now," I wound up saying to Shokuhou, with a now very noticeable, and very smug looking smirk on my face, that would even make one Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson giddy. And, while I was still very much smiling this smug smirk, I had briefly turned my attention, to the right of me, to briefly address the viewers.
And unfortunately...
"What was that Keiko?! Would you care to repeat that statement of yours?!" Shokuhou suddenly wound up saying to me, with a very not pleased sounding tone in her voice. And, while she currently wore, a very embarrassing looking blush, on her face.
"Gladly Shokuhou!...Are you...having trouble...keeping up...with the both of us?!...I thought...that you participated...in the athletic like activities...at Tokiwadai...like the both of us did?...Well Shokuhou...it looks as though...that is clearly...not the case!" I once again repeated my statement back to Shokuhou, as a means to get her just that much more upset. And I said it, with the same all too telling smug smirk, still very much present, on my face.
And to be honest, after Shokuhou had used my epithet back on August 9, as a way to try to get me to pop off in anger. I figured that this, was my way, of getting back at her for that.
And not surprisingly, this wound up irritating Shokuhou even more. Which, wound up with her choosing to insult Misaka as well. And, as the three of us, continued to argue with each other. I could only briefly think, what this sort of argument, would look like to the viewers.
Well, it was the three of us, in the alley in question, making weird looking gestures with our arms, as the three of us, continued to argue, for the next minute or two.
And, after the argument between the three of us, had concluded. The three of us, just so happened, to have learned. And not surprisingly in fact, that Gensei Kihara, was still very much alive. And, while this wound up surprising the absolute living daylights out of Misaka and Shokuhou.
I however, was not even the slightest bit surprised. But, in order to not make it seem, like I already knew, that Gensei Kihara was still alive, I decided to share the surprised expressions, that Misaka and Shokuhou had displayed, in order to not draw any sort of suspicion towards me.
And, a short while later, as the three of us, sped towards our new destination, in a fancy looking car. I then took immediate notice, of all of the cars in front of us, then suddenly parting like a wave to either side of us. And as we continued to speed along, I then noticed, that Shokuhou, seemed to be clutching her face with one of her gloved hands.
But, before I could respond in order to figure out what was wrong with her. The disembodied voice of Urd, then wound up speaking to me in my mind.
"In case you're wondering Keiko...Shokuhou is in this state due to her current use of a device called Exterior...and in case you are wondering about what that is Keiko?...It is a device, that allows her to use her powers in a much more broad sort of matter...But as you can see, it winds up taking its toll on her through excessive use," Urds voice wound up saying to me through my mind.
A little while later, as me and Misaka happened out onto a roof of a building at our destination, after Shokuhou, had gone off to do something, for a reason known only to her. I then took notice, of an all too familiar looking figure, standing on the roof. And not surprisingly, it sent me and Misaka, into a severe fit of anger.
"Damn you Kihara! How dare you harm her!" I said to a currently evilly smirking Gensei Kihara, who was currently standing, over a currently downed, and unconscious, #10032.
"Ah Keiko, Railgun, it is so nice to see you both again," Gensei said to the both of us, with his smirk still very much present on his face.
"Spare us both the attempted pleasantries Kihara! Because the last time I checked, we killed you!" I said to Gensei Kihara while still in a fit of anger. But, there was a method, as to why I had said my statement in this manner.
"No, you killed a double," Gensei then said in response, saying the exact line that I had expected him to say, in response to my statement.
"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*...So viewers...do you know what video game, that the recent two lines of dialogue are from?...Well viewers, for those of you who are a fan of the Call Of Duty franchise, you will have almost immediately have realized, that it is from Call Of Duty Black Ops...the one with Alex Mason...when he realized, that a certain villain in that video game, wasn't dead...Now then viewers...back to the story...*I say this, while smiling with both eyes closed, and my head tilted to one side, in a cute manner*"
But, the next thing that happened, was not something that I was expecting. As I then heard a somewhat crackling sound from just above me and Misaka. And, as both me and Misaka, wound up looking up towards the source of the sound. I was just able to make out a weird mass, of dark red colored crackling electricity.
And, while I was able to action roll out of the way of it just in time. Misaka on the other hand, was not as lucky as I was. As she wound taking a direct hit, from the dark red colored mass of crackling electricity. Which, wound up blinding me temporarily, with a bright light.
But, as the bright light, died down temporarily, I was then greeted, by a shocking, but familiar sight. As Misaka, was now glowing a bright blue color, and now had what looked like glowing strands of energy, trailing from different parts of her person. And it was then that I knew, that the way Misaka looked right now, was exactly as she had looked in the visions that had been shown to me by Urd.
But, before I could say anything else, Gensei then wound up speaking up. "Now it is time, to see if Misaka, can reach Level 6!" Gensei wound up saying. Which, with me now realizing what was now happening, then caused me to suddenly start crying, as tears, now started to stream, down both of my cheeks.
Since I also now knew, that if something wasn't done, to save Misaka from what was about to transpire, then me, her, and the rest of Academy City, would be wiped off of the map.
"Hello viewers...Keiko here...*I say this, while traditionally bowing to the viewers, before once again bringing my attention back up again, in order to continue to address the viewers*...Now then viewers...this now marks the end of episode 7...And as for the next episode viewers?...Well, we are actually going to be going right into the next encounter with the rest of our allies...You know viewers...the rest of The Four Aces Alliance?...And yes viewers...I am well aware that there are still at least 2 more episodes...that are separating you all from that...But, we will be sort of covering those two episodes, in flashback type instances...So that this way viewers...more then one episode, will wind up being covered, during the next chapter...But anyway viewers...I will see all of you lot in the next chapter...okay?...When things, once again, wind up being turned on its head...*I say this, while smiling with both eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a cute manner*"
