Going In Completely Blind

Date: September 20, 2009

Okay, so after I had explained to the rest of us, in the alley. And with our assignments, as well as places of destination decided.

Which, as for regarding the question, as to who would go to which of the two locations?...

"Okay, so it's decided. Me, Peach, Lily, Daisy, and Salvia, will head to the open area, to help Keiko in rescuing Misaka. While the Senshi, along with Zachary, Sakura, Li, Kero, and Yue, will head to the lab to aid Shokuhou, and confront Gensei Kihara. Now, is everyone clear on their respective roles?" I asked, which was followed almost immediately, by everyone else present, then nodding in response. And given this, that, was good enough of a confirmation for me.

And so, with Li's Lasin Board, which was still in my possession, and the duplicate Lasin Board, in Li's possession, both pointing the way, to our respective, and also current, destinations. And with the power of the Through Card spirit, coursing through all of us. We then set off, towards the end of the alley. Only for a portion of us, to go in separate directions from the others.

And, with the beam, from Li's Lasin Board, guiding the way. Me, Wedding Peach, Angel Lily, Angel Daisy, and Angel Salvia, and in no time at all I might, wound up at our respective destination. Because, as I had very much predicted, with the aid and power of the Through Card spirit, it had allowed the five of us, to run through any solid obstacle. Which did in fact include, any building as well. And this was done, so that we didn't get so easily noticed by the many residents of Academy City. And, as we had gone, as the crow flies. We managed to get to our destination. Which was the open area, in a very timely manner.

The only thing was, that as soon as the five of us reached the area in question. We all, then stopped dead in our tracks. And while Wedding Peach, Angel Lily, Angel Daisy, and Angel Salvia, all currently, had looks of complete, and absolute shock, on each, of their respective faces. I however, wasn't as shocked as them, but, I was still shocked, nonetheless.

I mean after all, nothing could've properly prepared me, to see the damage, and the sheer horror, of a currently unstable, currently glowing Misaka, as well as a currently, and very completely distraught Keiko, firsthand.

And this was because, that unlike Wedding Peach, Angel Lily, Angel Daisy, and Angel Salvia, hadn't been the ones, to see the vision flash through their minds, as it had done so for me.

However what I actually hadn't seen in the vision, that had flashed through my mind not too long ago. Was that both Keiko and Misaka, were currently not alone, in the open area in question. And, with my eyes, now resting upon two more figures. One of whom, I recognized almost immediately, as one Touma Kamijou, while the other, who was wearing a white headband at the moment. And upon a further look at him, seemed to be, quite full of himself, so to speak. Who I would later be told by Keiko, was Academy City's seventh ranked level 5 Esper, Sogiita Gunha.

However, I decided not to dwell on this, at least for the current moment. And I instead, tried to deal, at the current moment, with conducting more, of my elaborate, but also simple plan.

And after witnessing, the aforementioned person with the white headband. Then try, but fail, by using his Esper ability, in order to get through the barrier, that currently surrounded, a still very unstable Misaka. I then proceeded, to speak up.

"So sis, what do you say, that we make our entrance?" I said, as without even having to look to Wedding Peach, she simply nodded in response. And, as I readied my Saint Sword Of Bluebell, Wedding Peach got into a battle ready stance. While Angel Lily, took a ready stance, alongside the both of us. And, with Angel Daisy, and Angel Salvia, then following suit. We then readied ourselves, to make our entrance.

Meanwhile, just a bit ahead of us. Keiko, was currently in quite a bad way. As she was currently, and most justifiably, from what I had seen in my vision, on the ground, in a very distraught state, with tears of somewhat visible pain, streaming down her face.

"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!" Keiko was overheard saying, between sheer distraught sobs, and the immense tears, streaming down her cheeks.

However, and as if things couldn't get any worse. Misaka, who was still in her glowing, and also quite unstable looking state, then suddenly decided, to shift her focus, as well as her attacks, towards Keiko. And with Misaka, then firing off quite a strong looking attack towards Keiko. It really did look, at though this, was the end of the line for Keiko. However...

"Saint...Twin...Swords!" The all too familiar voice of one Angel Salvia rang out, which was instantly followed, by Angel Salvia, flying over to Keiko, with the use of her angel wings.

Which was then followed, by Angel Salvia, then standing in front of Keiko, with her Saint Twin Swords drawn. And, once the attack had almost reached her, she wound up using her Saint Twin Swords, in a sort of swords crossed stance, in order to deflect the attack.

And upon Keiko then suddenly snapping out of her currently distraught stupor, upon seeing Angel Salvia, stand in front of her, in order to deflect the attack from a currently very unstable Misaka. Keiko's expression, then couldn't help, but turn to a small smile.

And it was at this point, that I then chose to speak up.

"Well Lucky Strike, though I would say, that we would currently be meeting again, under much less dire situating circumstances. But given the situation, I would say Keiko, that you could currently, use some help, am I right?" I couldn't help but say to a now much more situational aware Keiko, with a smile, now very much present, on my face.

"Alright viewers, I would say that this, is now a good place to stop for now. In a sort of cliffhanger chapter ending of sorts. Why you viewers may ask? Well, because if I didn't, then there wouldn't be any convincing reason, for all of you viewers, to wanting to read on. So with that in mind viewers, I will see you all in the next chapter...*I say this, while smiling in a cute manner, with both eyes closed*"
