A Certain Scientific Pair Of Railgun Aces

Date: July 20, 2009

Okay, so apparently Saten had now wound up in the hospital, and this wasn't even the worst part of it.

After both her and her friends had used the Level Upper, they had all wound up in the hospital.

Me and Misaka had gone to a frog-faced doctor by the name of Heaven Canceller, after we had both found Saten unconscious after she had gotten her Esper ability after using the Level Upper.

We both believed that we had hurt Saten's feelings the other day by saying to her that an esper's level does not matter.

This would wind up with us leading to an inevitable showdown on an overpass with one Dr. Kiyama.

But, that would come into play later on. Anyway, after learning from Heaven Canceller, that the Level Upper victims seem to share a brainwave pattern with someone.

Me and Misaka, along with everyone else, wound up discovering, that the culprit was Kiyama, who had been using the Level Upper to connect the thoughts of espers like a parallel computing network.

Unfortunately, Uiharu, who had visited Kiyama earlier and discovered her notes on synesthesia, wound up being taken hostage by her.

And it was after me and Misaka noticed Kuroko's injuries from when she had taken care of and dispatched more Level Upper offenders other then Trick, that me and Misaka then went off by ourselves, to rescue Uiharu and stop Dr. Kiyama, before Uiharu wound up getting hurt.

It was whilst Uiharu was in the car with Dr. Kiyama, she was explaining to Uiharu, how she had used the Level Upper Network to connect as many brains as possible into an alternative supercomputer.

This was done because apparently she was not allowed to use something called the "Tree Diagram" supercomputer.

She then went on to assure Uiharu that the victims whose brains were being used to power the Level Upper Network supercomputer, would be released soon, and wound up giving Uiharu a 'cure program,' whatever that was.

However, this didn't stop Anti-Skill from roadblocking her on the highway.

And yet, this wound up with Dr. Kiyama harnessing and then utilizing the various abilities that she had acquired from the various victims that whose brains were joined to the Level Upper Network supercomputer.

It was as me and Misaka arrived at the scene, which had now become a scene of total devastation, that we both knew, that we had a long and arduous fight ahead of us.

And as Dr. Kiyama used one of her acquired abilities to collapse the highway overpass beneath me and Misaka.

To which we used our Electromaster ability to cling to one of the pillars of the overpass, with Misaka slightly above where I wound up.

"Damn, that was a bit close Misaka, wouldn't you say?" I asked Misaka matter-of-factly, while a bead of sweat made its way down one side of my face.

"Yea, that pretty much sums that up nicely Keiko," Misaka said to me in response.

However it was then that we realized, that we would need to work together if we were both going to walk away from this fight both alive, and in one piece.

"So Keiko, got any ideas?" Misaka asked me, as the two of us clung to the pillar of the collapsed highway overpass with the use of our electricity.

"Yea Misaka, as a matter of fact, I've got a few," I said in response with a slight smile.

It was then that I used one of my hands to focus on a piece of debris from the collapsed overpass, to which Misaka followed suit.

This was then followed by both of us using our electricity to chuck our respective pieces of debris at Dr. Kiyama.

Unfortunately, she used one of her many acquired abilities to conjure up a sword of energy, which she then used to cut both of our respective pieces of debris in half.

It was at this point that Dr. Kiyama used one of her hands, and focused it on the parts of the pillar of the highway overpass that me and Misaka were using our electricity to cling to.

This was then followed by pieces of the wall of the pillar behind me and Misaka literally falling out, and taking us with it.

Thankfully however, both of us jumped off and landed on the ground, without incident.

This was then followed by Dr. Kiyama conjuring up several tin cans from a nearby waste receptacle, and mentioning to both of us about the graviton bomb incidents.

Me and Misaka knew full well what had to be done next.

We then used our electricity to explode all of the tin can graviton bombs in midair.

However, this didn't stop Dr. Kiyama from taking one from the lot, and sneaking it in behind both of us without us noticing, detonating it, and sending us both to the ground.

It was while we were both on the ground, covered in dirt, and both coughing, that I realized that this needed to end, and end quickly, before anyone else got hurt.

It was then, after my coughing had subsided slightly, I turned my attention to Misaka, and decided to tell her my next plan of attack.

"Okay Misaka, this is obviously not working, we need a new plan of attack!" I said through a few more fits of coughing.

However, before Misaka could give me a response, Dr. Kiyama decided to turn, and start walking away.

This seemed like as good a time as any, for me to try a sneak attack approach, and I was sure that Misaka thought the exact same way.

So, without skipping a beat, me and Misaka charged toward Dr. Kiyama, while her back was still turned, and put her in a hold with our arms wrapped around from her back as tight as we possibly could.

It was after Misaka explained that this wouldn't have worked on a similar person that she intended to try this on, which I knew was Touma, that Dr. Kiyama chose this moment to try and stop us from temporarily incapacitating her.

"Too Slow!" I said, as me and Misaka then proceeded to send quite a bit of voltage of electricity through Dr. Kiyama's body, almost immediately incapacitating her, and sending her to the ground.

However, despite her being on the ground in this state, we both knew, that this fight wasn't over quite yet.

And this was confirmed seconds later when me and Misaka witnessed Dr. Kiyama putting her hands on her head, muttering that the network was out of control, and this was then followed by a creature emerging from her head, to which it then turned its attention on Misaka and I.

"Well, here we go again, huh Misaka?" I said with a sigh and a slight smile as electricity started to crackle through the bangs of my hair.

"I wouldn't have it any other way Keiko," Misaka said with a slight smile, as electricity also started to crackle through the bangs of her hair.
