249. Misaka and Misaki Working Together; Saving Misaka Sisters in Clutch.
While her friend is making chaos in the city, the most important mission naturally falls into Misaka, since their real goal was to save all the Misaka sisters. After getting separated from Kaito, Misaka Mikoto and Shokohou Misaki are getting deep into the Kihara Clan facility to rescue Dolly. Unlike in the original, although Dolly is still held in District 10 laboratorium, she's placed in a different location right now... under Kihara Gensei's supervision.
At the moment, Misaka is carrying Shokohou Misaki on her back. The reason is obvious because Shokohou Misaki's physical ability is really weak, and she couldn't handle the intense physical labor action to rescue Dolly. While on it, Misaka is currently also running and dealing with the private army (mercenary) of Kihara Gensei, which consists of DA and Hound, trying to stop their advance
However, Misaki is not useless. With the help of Misaki's mind-reading, they got the exact location, deducted the fastest route where Dolly and the rest of the Misaka sisters were in Kihara Gensei's.
*BOOM* *BOOM*
...!!
"Good job, Misaka, after taking the downstairs chair, don't forget to go to the left!" Misaki nagged her, unexpectedly enjoying her current situation.
"I know! Stop being noisy!" Misaka complained, You are too heavy!
"I am sorry for that, after all, I am more developed than you are."
"Do you want me to throw you away?!"
"You won't dare! I will tell Kaito!"
"Are you his mistress already? I tell you, you'd better have no funny idea with that guy!"
...
Even though they were supposed to work together right now, Misaka and Misaki naturally couldn't get along very well. If not because of Shokohou Misaki's history with her first clone, Misaka is really tempted to throw this burden away and do the mission alone!
"Misaka, damn it! My mistake! We are surrounded!"
After getting through many rooms while constantly bickering with Misaka, Misaki was late to realize they were surrounded, trying to warn Misaka as she couldn't stop all of them with her ability.
"I already know that." Misaka curled up, already aware of their action through haki alone, "Sit tight behind me, I will let you see why I can defeat Accelerator easily!"
????
"The intruders are here and surrounded! Shoot them!" (???)
"Hmmph! You guys are annoying! Hah!!"
*Crackle* *Crackle*
...!!!
Using her electromagnetic force combined with Haki, Misaka releases a massive controlled dark electricity current and spreads it to the ground, electrocuting all the annoying enemies on the floor!
"Aaarghh!"
*BOOM*
...!!
However, because it's a facility that holds Misaka sisters specifically, most guards were armed with an electromagnetic nullifier device and even an anti-mind attack device against Misaka's attack.
Thus, most guards in fact weren't affected much by Misaka's earlier attack or Misaki's attempt to control them.
"Call more personnel, the target is a sitting duck!"
"Watch out! Bring the anti-electricity device with you!"
"Shoot them! Captain Kihara said it's okay to kill them!"
*BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG*
...!!!
Getting showered by bullets, Shokohou Misaki can't help but scream in panic, but Misaka naturally didn't take their offense seriously. As a devil fruit user, she won't be hit by physical attacks like bullets, but the same can't be said for her temporary partner, so she was forced to generate a temporary electric barrier to protect themselves for a moment.
"Aaaah!! Misaka, do something!"
"I know! Stay behind me, I need to concentrate to go all out without harming you!"
"What do you want to do?!"
"Solving our current predicament!"
...!!
Realizing these guards could take more hits from her, Misaka now decides to test her newest ability. Inspired by Uchiha Sasuke's jutsu, Chidori Nagashi, with meticulous control over every part of her body, Misaka released countless controllable mini thunderbolts in every direction, creating a targeted, devastating attack on the entire floor.
"You guys are forcing me to do this! [Million volt thunderbolt-- Current!]
*BOOM*
...!!!
""Aaaaarrghh!!"
"Help!"
"Runnn!!"
"awgwagwawgagwg"
A countless mini thunderbolt railgun scattered around, with haki, Misaka aiming at every single guard that was shooting at them on this floor and the straight half of the building... quickly annihilated them. Unlike the previous attack, this one is simply impossible for those devices to defend against, as a million volts of electricity was far above their device limit... and killing them instantly.
Even with ths, Misaka could naturally execute much more deadly attacks, but she was afraid of destroying the building and harming the sisters they wanted to rescue at the bottom of this facility.
...
Seeing all the guards had basically ended up toasted (died) by her in such flashy moves, Shokohou Misaki opened her mouth in awe and asked with fear, "W-What was that?!"
"My real ability!" Misaka answered proudly, "It's very cool, right?"
"It is... but that much electricity... are you already level 6 now?" Misaki asked while dumbfounded.
"Not yet, but you can count me like a 5.5 level Esper." Misaka boasted, "If I want to be serious, I could directly blast the whole building in thunder!"
Misaka wasn't lying. Considering Enel can directly sink an island with his ability, Misaka could do the same with enough preparation time!
"So, you are actually stronger than Kaito-san?"
"...No."
Hearing her question, Misaka couldn't help but roll her eyes and curse. Comparing her to the official owner of the chat group system, Misaka wouldn't last a second, since Kaito has cheating props like a time stop!
"Ohhh.... So, Accelerator was bound to be defeated again," Misaki commented, "Kaito-san is amazing..."
"Pretty much. There's no need to be concerned with that guy." Misaka nodded and gestured her hand to continue, "Anyway! Hop in. We still have someone we want to rescue."
After seeing no one else coming at them, Misaka and Misaki continue their journey to the bottom... occasionally hindered by the guard team, but no one really can stop their advance.
>>>>>
A few minutes later, they finally arrived at the bottom floor, the deepest part of the facility, where Kihara stores all the Misaka sister clone and their DNA data.
Without hesitation, Misaka literally melted the big metal door with concentrated lightning, barging into the last room in a hurry.
*BAMM*
...!!
The moment the smoke debris settled in, Misaka let Shokohou Misaki down from her back as they were solemnly observing their surroundings. Inside the room, a dozen Misaka sisters clones were trapped inside a jar.
"Misaka, I think Dolly is there!"
Misaki pointed out with excitement, Finally, meet her long lost friend. Unlike Misaka's sister, Dolly was much more developed than any other clone, even compared to the original, so it was easy to recognize her appearance. Misaka also confirmed her guess, with Haki, she can tell all the clones in here were alive and just put on deep sleep by those scientist.
"I know, but we are not alone here!"
"But I haven't detected anyone..."
"That's because the one who confronts us is a robot!"
Contrary to the upper floor, there seems to be no one in this room (the scientists have escaped), but Misaka haki detected something dangerous moving in this room besides them.
...!!!
*BANG*
After saying that, a second later, a big mechanical robot came out from the corner of the room, approaching them with force-- with 3 meters of height and an appearance similar to a mini Gundam.
This thing is something that never appeared in the original, but Misaka isn't afraid because her ability is deadly to any type of robot-- contrary to Shokohou Misaki's ability, which doesn't work on machines at all.
"Are you controlling this robot, Kihara!"
"As expected of Railgun, you were guessing correctly."
A robotic voice is coming out of it, and Misaka and Misaki recognize that villainous voice very well... which is indeed one of the famous villains in the city besides Aleister, Kihara Gensei from the Kihara Clan.
"Tch. You must have escaped the building." Misaka sternly glared at the robot without any fear, "Do you think this robot can defeat us?"
"Considering you blasted the metal door with ease, of course... no way." Kihara's robotic voice could be heard from the mecha, answered her, "But before that, can I ask something as my last request?"
"Just ask."
"Can you tell me why I can't access the Misaka network anymore? What is your ability?"
"I won't answer that damn question, but I swear you will never gain access to it again!" Misaka answered her confidently, "I will not let you harm my clones anymore as long as I am still alive!"
Obviously, after improving her esper ability much further, her control of Misaka's sisters in the Misaka network has now become absolute. Even if Kihara manages to do something, Misaka could easily retake that authority using chat group points... hence it becomes the source of her absolute confidence.
"Interesting." However, being a smart person, Kihara easily guessed the answer and commented, "Aleister must have another plan about Misaka's network. Is it related to your new friend that making chaos outside?"
"That's right!"
"Then... I wonder if I tried to capture your friend, I will know the answer?"
????
"You are really seeking death, Kihara!" Hearing Kihara's idea of threatening her friend, Misaka became outraged as it was easily touching her reverse scale.
Like Kaito or any other chat group members, Misaka genuinely sees chat group members as her very good friends, and she won't let anyone have bad intentions toward them. Moreover, she's also afraid that Kihara would dare to make a move against Kaito, and enraged him too-- which is something that everyone in the group wanted to prevent.
They were not afraid that Kaito would harm a chat group member; on the contrary, they were afraid that Kaito, being enraged, would make him do something that he never wanted to do... like what happened with that fellow Tendou Kikunojou.
*Crackle* *Crackle* *Crackle*
Even Misaki was terrified at Misaka's outrage... and took a retreat since Misaka started emitting lightning current without her even realizing it.
"Hahahaha! That must be the answer! I will make sure to capture--"
"Shut up!"
*BZZZ*
...!!!
Without allowing him to finish his sentence, Misaka already made a move against the Kihara robot, directly transforming herself into elemental form, getting inside the robot, and instantly overloading it with electricity to make it explode.
*BOOM*
...!!!
"Since you have an idea, I will find you, Kihara! I swear!" Misaka swore, knowing her friends wouldn't be safe as long as he was still alive.
What Misaka forgets is that, the entire time that broadcast in the broadcast has been open, many members who watch her also share the same sentiments.
Later on, thanks to his dangerous idea, Manaka would singlehandedly kill most 90% of Kihara, but that's for later.
*GRRRR*
...!!!
Just a few seconds after Kihara Gensei's robot exploded, however, the whole building suddenly shook-- making both Misaka and Misaki panic. Obviously, both of them 100% sure this must be Kihara doing, probably wanted to destroy the building, buried them and the Misaka sisters together!
Even though they already have someone who could resurrect people, Misaka doesn't want her sister to experience death at all if possible!
...
"That damn Kihara... is so disgusting!" Misaka cursed and quickly used her ability to connect to the main computer of the building, trying to stop the whole self-destruct sequence.
"M-Misaka! Can you stop it?!" Misaki asked in a hurry, knowing there's no way they could escape while Dolly and hundreds of Misaka clones were still trapped inside the jar in the room!
"I can't stop the mechanism!" Misaka cursed, "The trigger has already happened, and we only have one minute left!"
"That's not enough time. What should we do?"
Both Misaka and Misaki panic and are confused about what to do, but Aika, who has been watching their situation, already has a solution for Misaka. Aika then quickly pings her in the chat group, which diverts her attention, and she realizes the situation isn't really hopeless... because the chat group system exists!
"Ah, yes, the chat group!" Misaka exclaimed.
"???"
=====
[Mage of Exodus]: @Railgun Girl, Don't panic! Use chat group points to teleport all Misaka sisters to safety! Chat group points can do anything!"
[Railgun Girl]: "I know! I just checked, but the cost to move 139 sisters out is too expensive. It's 2000 points per person to the base world or any safe place within the city!"
[God Tongue]: "That's really expensive!"
[Gender Equality Hero]: "That amount of points is just too much!"
[Mage of Exodus]: "So you need 278.000 points. Fortunately, we are already prepared!"
*DING*
=====
[Mage of Exodus has transferred 278.000 points to Railgun Girl]
=====
...?!?!
Looking at the window panel which said the points were transferred, Misaka opened her eyes wide in shock before feeling so happy because now she realized that she could save every sister from getting killed here!
...
[Railgun Girl]: "Wow! I will make sure to pay you back later, Aika-san!"
[Mage of Exodus]: "Just pay it back to Kaito! It's all Kaito points that I temporarily hold myself for an emergency like this!"
[Gender Equality Hero]: "Of course, Boss is so rich!"
[Witch of the Void]: "I feel I should better ask for a raise later. That amount of point equal to let me work 2 years straight."
[Root Princess]: "Pffft... I didn't expect my suggestion back then to be very helpful. I am glad for you, Misaka-san."
[Railgun Girl]: "I will make sure to pay it back later!"
====
Confirmed the point, Misaka then closed the chat group interface and then quickly requested to the system immediately as they don't have much time left.
'System, transfer all my sisters safely to outside of the building... District 17!'
*DING*
=====
[Request Accepted, Points have been deducted.]
=====
The moment the system panel showed up, all the Misaka sisters in the jar disappeared altogether, shocking Shokohou Misaki and even Aleister, who was currently monitoring from the windowless building. Every single Misaka sister gets teleported to the base world except for Dolly, who teleported into Misaka Mikoto's dormitory room.
*BOOM*
Seeing now all the sisters should be safe and the whole building would be destroyed soon, Misaka urged Misaki to hold him, "Now, all the clones are safely transferred! Let's move out!"
"What... What have you done?! Where is Dolly?! And other Misaka sisters?!" Misaki asked in genuine confusion and panic.
"I teleported them to somewhere safe!"
"Teleport? Aren't your abilities related to electromagnetic energy?!"
"Umm... let's say it's Kaito's props work!" Misaka lied.
"As expected of Kaito, he really planned it all and anticipated this would happen." Misaki once again compliment Kaito, genuinely start having interest in him.
"Ah... yeah."
Misaka's eyes darted away slightly, feeling slightly guilty for lying to her. Unfortunately, Misaka doesn't want to reveal the chat group matter to her, so she needs to lie about it. Also, technically, she doesn't really lie. By putting 500.000 points in reserve to use in case of emergency, Kaito does anticipate unexpected things that will happen.
"Anyway, Misaki, let's get out of here! Otherwise, we are going to be buried alive!"
"How?"
"Just grab on to me!"
After that, using WWU, they quickly leave the scene in a second, while the building is under destruction. Needless to say, their main mission was surprisingly completed without many issues, and just like that, their main goal was achieved.
Albeit, Aleister was going to complain and putting Misaka in debt for it later on.
