Chapter 60: From Here To Eternity!: What It Is Truly Like To Be A Third Ranked Level 5 Esper! (Part 4)

"Hello viewers...Keiko here...*I say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers, before bringing my attention back up again. To which I then proceed, to smile with both eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a cute manner. To which I then open my brown eyes again, in order to continue, to properly address the viewers*...Anyways viewers...we will now be heading, right into the next part of the current episode..Or, the fourth part, of what is currently episode 23...of Railgun Season S...or Season 2...And so viewers, let us now, quickly recap the previous chapter...or in other words, what was the previous chapter...okay?...*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"

And as for the previous chapter recap in question? Which was, well...

And regarding the current situation. Which was after, the temporary paralysis agent, that had been injected into Misaka, from the syringe, that Haruki had stuck her with. I was at least someone more relaxed, with now knowing, that Misaka, was okay.

But, however. I was still very upset, that Haruki, had resulted, to such an underhanded tactic. But, after knowing all too well, of other villains, that we both, had recently come across, back on August 9. We quickly then both realized, that things regarding our current situation, with Haruki, and the rest of The STUDY Corporation. Were not really as bad, as back when we had gone against, Sailor Galaxia, as well as the rest, of the villain rogues gallery.

But still....

"Damn that Haruki! Misaka, are you sure you're alright?" I asked her with concern in my tone. Well, that was after, I had said the first part of my statement, with a somewhat frustrated tone of voice, and, with a less then pleased looking expression, on my face.

"Yes Keiko, I'm fine," Misaka wound up saying back to me in response. Which was accompanied, by her giving close eye smile.

"Well, that is good to hear. Now then, shall we?" I asked Misaka, while giving a sort of hand gesture, towards the door, that lead out of the room.

And, upon Misaka, then giving me a nod in response, we both, then exited the room.

And now, with the recap of the previous chapter now done, we will now move on, to the current chapter. Or, the third part, of episode 23.

And regarding the current situation. Which was after, the temporary paralysis agent, that had been injected into Misaka, from the syringe, that Haruki had stuck her with. I was at least someone more relaxed, with now knowing, that Misaka, was okay.

But, however. I was still very upset, that Haruki, had resulted, to such an underhanded tactic. But, after knowing all too well, of other villains, that we both, had recently come across, back on August 9. We quickly then both realized, that things regarding our current situation, with Haruki, and the rest of The STUDY Corporation.

"Well, that is good to hear. Now then, shall we?" I asked Misaka, while giving a sort of hand gesture, towards the door, that lead out of the room.

And, upon Misaka, then giving me a nod in response, we both, then exited the room.

And now, with the recap of the previous chapter now done. We will now, move on, to the current situation. Which oddly, was earlier the next morning. But, more importantly, me and Misaka, had caught up, to Nunotaba.

"Hey viewers, Keiko here again...Now, you may now all be wondering, how this is possible, correct? Well viewers, several hours back, just after the incident. Me and Misaka, simply went, and had eavesdropped, so to speak, and decided to wait, until Nunotaba was alone, so to speak. And, with our original intention, of wanting to learn more, about the Chemicaloid project, still very much strong, on both of our minds...And, with the three of us, now moved to another building, earlier in the morning. Nunotaba, then proceeded, to fill us in, so to speak, on the Chemicaloid project. But, more shockingly, Nunotaba, also stated during this, that Aritomi, had gone too far, with the project in question. And, on top of all of that, she had apparently been 'sold to STUDY,' so too speak...Now then viewers...back to the story...*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"

And, upon getting all of this new information. Me and Misaka, then proceeded, to speak up in response.

"I know how terrible you must feel right now...but you are not alone, there are people out there who genuinely care about you. Including the both of us," Misaka wound up saying, in response to Nunotaba's quite lengthy statement, regarding Janie, who was one of the two main Checmicaloids, of the Chemicaloid project.

"And Nunotaba. Just know, that you're not the only one, who has something that is worth fighting for," I said, with quite a bit of determination present, on my face. And this was while, I had said my statement, with quite a bit of charisma, in my tone.

"Hey guys, Keiko here again...*I say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers, before bringing my head, my attention, and my eyesight, quickly back up again, in order, to once again continue to properly address the viewers*...Now then viewers...this now marks the end of this chapter...And with...I shall see all of you lot, in the next chapter...okay?...*I say this, while smiling with both eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a cute manner*"

Chapter 61: From Here To Eternity!: What It Is Truly Like To Be A Third Ranked Level 5 Esper! (Part 5)

"Hello viewers...Keiko here...*I say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers, before bringing my attention back up again. To which I then proceed, to smile with both eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a cute manner. To which I then open my brown eyes again, in order to continue, to properly address the viewers*...Anyways viewers...we will now be heading, right into the next part of the current episode..Or, the fifth part, of what is currently episode 23...of Railgun Season S...or Season 2...And so viewers, let us now, quickly recap the previous chapter...or in other words, what was the previous chapter...okay?...*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"

And as for the previous chapter recap in question...

So, several hours back, just after the incident. Me and Misaka, simply went, and had eavesdropped, so to speak, and decided to wait, until Nunotaba was alone, so to speak. And, with our original intention, of wanting to learn more, about the Chemicaloid project, still very much strong, on both of our minds.

And, with the three of us, now having moved to another building, earlier in the morning. Nunotaba, then proceeded, to fill us in, so to speak, on the Chemicaloid project.

But, more shockingly, Nunotaba, also stated during this, that Aritomi, had gone too far, with the project in question. And, on top of all of that, she had apparently been 'sold to STUDY,' so too speak.

And, upon getting all of this new information. Me and Misaka, then proceeded, to speak up in response.

"I know how terrible you must feel right now...but you are not alone, there are people out there who genuinely care about you. Including the both of us," Misaka wound up saying, in response to Nunotaba's quite lengthy statement, regarding Janie, who was one of the two main Checmicaloids, of the Chemicaloid project.

"And Nunotaba. Just know, that you're not the only one, who has something that is worth fighting for," I said, with quite a bit of determination present, on my face. And this was while, I had said my statement, with quite a bit of charisma, in my tone.

And now, with the recap of the previous chapter now done. We will now, move on, to the current situation.

Which, even after both me and Misaka, had said both of our respective statements. And given Nunotaba's current follow up statement. Which was, well...

"And you're both those people I suppose?! But how can you both seek to help me?!" Nunotaba had followed up with saying. And she had said this, while she had turned her attention to us, from looking off in a different direction. And she had also gone during this instance, while having clenched her right hand, into a very tight fist.

And it was then, that I decided to speak up in response.

"Nunotaba, let me tell you, what me and Misaka have realized recently. You have people that count on you, but other people count on you too. And, if you wind up working with those people, then your strength, can wind up making all the difference. I mean after all, it isn't just me and Misaka, who have this sort of need, to work together," I wound up saying in response. And towards the end of my statement, I had briefly turned my attention to Misaka, and had smiled a closed eyes smile, to which she then, wound up returning to me, in response.

"Hey viewers, Keiko here again...*I say this, while once again traditionally bowing to the viewers, as a sign of respect. Before I then, bring myself, back up, from this traditional bow. And then, once I had smiled, with both eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a cute manner. To which, I had then, opened my eyes again, I then proceeded, to continue, to address the viewers*...Okay then viewers, with that now out of the way...Let me just make on thing, completely clear from the off...As I am sure you all know by this point...Well, that is, if you haven't been jumping several chapters ahead, in this fanfics, or the other two, that are connected to it for that matter...*I proceed to say this, while blushing slightly*...*I then, once I have stopped blushing, then proceed, to bring my face, closer to the screen, in order to address the viewers, in this manner, for this part, of my current fourth wall break*...I mean, surely, you aren't still attempting, to skip ahead in any of these fanfics still, are you?...I mean, why do you think, I have been doing chapter recaps, at the start of every recent chapter?...Did you really think, that I didn't have some sort of contingency in place, to insure that you had no choice, but to read the recaps?...*I also proceed to say this, while also smiling, quite the cheeky looking smile*...Anyway viewers...I think that that, is enough fourth wall breaking from me...Well...at least for the moment...Now then viewers...back to the story...*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"

And, it was after, I had said my most recent statement, to Nunotaba. Misaka, then chose, to speak up as well.

"You know, when I found out about my sisters, I reacted in the same way that you did. I kept thinking, 'this is my fault, I have to do something.' However, it took me a while, but I started to learn, not to think like that," Misaka said, while she displayed, a kind looking, and also understanding looking expression, on her face.

And, not surprisingly...

"Well, I guess I was right from the very beginning...Misaka, like the rest of The Four Aces, really does in fact, have both a genuine, and..." I thought to myself, all while I displayed, a very warming looking smile, on my face.

The only thing was, my thought process, was suddenly cut short, by the sudden blaring, of an alarm, throughout the entire building.

"Well, then...it looks like, the endgame regarding The STUDY Corporation...is about to go into full swing," I thought to myself, as my expression, then wound up changing, to a now very confident looking smirk. And, while the familiar feeling of my electricity, had started to course, through the bangs, of my long light blue hair.

"Hey guys, Keiko here again...*I say this while once again traditionally bowing to the viewers, before bringing my head, my attention, and my eyesight, quickly back up again, in order, to once again continue to properly address the viewers*...Now then viewers...this now marks the end of this current chapter...And with...I shall see all of you lot, in the next chapter...Which will wind up being, the sixth, and final part...of episode 23...okay?...*I say this, while smiling with both eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a cute manner*"

Chapter 62: From Here To Eternity!: What It Is Truly Like To Be A Third Ranked Level 5 Esper! (Part 6)

"Hello there viewers...Keiko here...*I say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers, before bringing my attention back up again. To which I then proceed, to smile with both eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a cute manner. To which I then open my brown eyes again, in order to continue, to properly address the viewers*...Anyways viewers...we will now be heading, right into the next, and now final part of the current episode...Or, the sixth part, of what is currently episode 23...of Railgun Season S...or Season 2...if you want to be more technical...I wouldn't know viewers...because I have stated previously, my Telepath Ability...only works on Misaka...Well actually viewers...that isn't entirely true...But, just so you all know, that, was a bit of foreshadowing...*I say this part, while smiling quite broadly, which winds up subsiding, before I then continue, to address the viewers*...And so viewers, with that now very much fresh, on all of your minds...let us now, quickly recap the previous chapter...or in other words, what was chapter 61...okay?...*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"

"And you're both those people I suppose?! But how can you both seek to help me?!" Nunotaba had followed up with saying. And she had said this, while she had turned her attention to us, from looking off in a different direction. And she had also gone during this instance, while having clenched her right hand, into a very tight fist.

And, while the familiar feeling of my electricity, had started to course, through the bangs, of my long light blue hair.

And, now that the recap of the previous chapter, is now done. We will now, move onward, to the currently volatile, and very quickly unfolding situation. Which from what you all remember, was back in the building, that me, Misaka, and Nunotaba, had been in, once the currently blaring alarm, had started to loudly blare, throughout the entire building. And, as for the quickly volatile, and quickly unfolding situation in question.

Well, with the current sudden arrival, of one Kuroko Shirai, and her quick dispatching, of the so called attack robots, that had been present at the entrance. Which in fact, had wound up setting off the blaring alarm in question. That was, at this moment, still blaring throughout the building.

And, upon me glancing outside, towards one of the adjacent buildings, I was just able to catch sight of Saten, who was currently perched on top of said building, while using a pair of binoculars, that she had on hand with her at the moment.

And, upon seeing her, I then couldn't help, but then give off a small smile.

But however...

"How did they know where to find the both of you?" Nunotaba suddenly chimed in with asking to both me and Misaka.

"Well Nunotaba...I am so glad you asked...and viewers...Yea, Keiko here by the way...Anyway viewers...I think that it is now time, for us to do a flashback of sorts..."

"Yea, so Keiko? How about you just explain it, rather then have us have to go through, what is more then likely, going to be a very lengthy flashback?...*Misaka winds up saying this to me, while giving me the sort of look, that told me, that perhaps I should take her statement, into account*"

"Okay Misaka, I suppose so...if you want to be boring..."

"What was that Keiko?...*Misaka proceeds to say this to me, with a look, that now pretty much tells me, that perhaps I should be thinking twice, about thinking something similar, during a future fourth wall break*"

"Uh nothing Misaka...*I say this, while a bead of sweat, is currently very visible, on one side of my face. Which winds up quickly subsiding, along with my currently nervous looking expression. To which I then, proceed to continue, to address the viewers*...So in short viewers...do you know, in the James Bond movie Casino Royale...when James Bond, played by Daniel Craig...has a sort of tracking device, planted into his skin?...Well viewers, that just so happens to be, the similar type of device, that had allowed Kuroko, Uiharu, and Saten, to find and locate the both of us...Also, you might all be wondering, why I used Casino Royale, as a sort of analogy?...Well viewers...it has to actually do, with the whole Poker aspect, of that movie...As the concept of Poker, so too speak...Will wind up playing a huge role, in a later arc, in this fanfic...But viewers...at least for now, we will proceed onward, by getting right back, to the current situation...okay?...*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"

Anyway, fourth wall breaking, and fourth wall breaking moments aside, at least for the moment. And, getting back to the current situation. Which was currently. Well...

"Kuroko!" I called out to Kuroko, who at the moment we had happened upon her, had just finished destroying yet another robot, with quite a bit, of her pin darts.

But, given Kuroko's response...

"Sissy...Keiko...!" Kuroko then responded with, in a somewhat perverse sounding manner.

But, as she was about to approach me and Misaka, in an effort to try, quite an inopportune perverse leap towards us. I then, simply made an somewhat kind expression, with just a bit of emotion, that made Kuroko, perhaps think twice, with trying this, given the current situation.

"Hey viewers...Keiko here again...*I say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers, before bringing my attention back up again. To which I then proceed, to smile with both eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a cute manner. To which I then open my brown eyes again, in order to continue, to properly address the viewers*...So viewers, this...like the last line of six chapters before this episode...will have this current episode, split into two parts, of six chapters each...Yes, I know I know, not the most ideal...But viewers...at least by doing it this way, it is much easier to digest...So then viewers...I will be seeing all of you lot, in the next episode...Well technically viewers...it will still be the same episode...but...you know what I mean viewers...See you all there, okay?...*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"

"Hello there viewers...Keiko here...*I say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers, before bringing my attention back up again. To which I then proceed, to smile with both eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a cute manner. To which I then open my brown eyes again, in order to continue, to properly address the viewers*...Anyways viewers...we will now be heading, right into, what is the first part of this episode...Well viewers...technically this is still part of the current episode...what is currently episode 23...of Railgun Season S...or Season 2...if you want to be more technical...Although viewers...on a somewhat lighter note...this now puts us, one more chapter closer, to our next eventual meetup, with the rest, of The Four Aces Alliance...*I say this part, while smiling quite broadly, which winds up subsiding, before I then continue, to address the viewers*...And so viewers, with that now very much fresh, on all of your minds...let us now, quickly recap the previous chapter...or in other words, what was chapter 62...okay?...*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"

And here, is the recap, of the previous chapter, in question...

"How did they know where to find the both of you?" Nunotaba suddenly chimed in with asking to both me and Misaka.

"Well Nunotaba...I am so glad you asked...and viewers...Yea, Keiko here by the way...Anyway viewers...I think that it is now time, for us to do a flashback of sorts..."

"Yea, so Keiko? How about you just explain it, rather then have us have to go through, what is more then likely, going to be a very lengthy flashback?...*Misaka winds up saying this to me, while giving me the sort of look, that told me, that perhaps I should take her statement, into account*"

Anyway, fourth wall breaking, and fourth wall breaking moments aside, at least for the moment. And, getting back to the current situation. Which was currently. Well...

"Kuroko!" I called out to Kuroko, who at the moment we had happened upon her, had just finished destroying yet another robot, with quite a bit, of her pin darts.

But, given Kuroko's response...

"Sissy...Keiko...!" Kuroko then responded with, in a somewhat perverse sounding manner.

But, as she was about to approach me and Misaka, in an effort to try, quite an inopportune perverse leap towards us. I then, simply made an somewhat kind expression, with just a bit of emotion, that made Kuroko, perhaps think twice, with trying this, given the current situation.

And now, with the recap of the previous chapter, now over and done with. We will now, carry on, where we had last left off.

Which currently, was just after me and Misaka, had met up with Kuroko, just after, she had used her pin darts, to destroy a robot. And was just after, I had given Kuroko a sort of kind looking expression, which had pretty much let her know, that now, was not the most ideal time, to be attempting any perverted antics. Well, that was at least, until our current fight against STUDY, had finally reached its conclusion.

And, upon the three of us, now having regrouped with Uiharu, and Saten...

"What, a terrorist attack at the upcoming Reach Assembly!?" The voice of Saten, then suddenly blurted out, with quite a bit of surprise in her current tone.

"Yes Saten. However, the word that had been described by one Haruki, was a 'revolution,' so to speak," I wound up saying to Saten in response. And I made sure, to put a strong sort of emphasis, on the word 'revolution.'

"What, that's crazy!" Kuroko wound up responding to what I had just said in response.

"Well Kuroko technically that would be the case. However Kuroko, seeing as how we have recently been in crazier scenarios. I would say that this, isn't exactly the most crazy. I mean after all Kuroko, I need not remind you, about what went on, back on August 9th, right?" I wound up saying to Kuroko in response, in order to remind her, that our given situation, was only one-third, of what was, and still currently is, a much larger picture, and situation.

And this was compounded, by the all too obvious fact. As that was the date in question, in which me, Misaka, and Kuroko, had all had our first run-in, with the rest, of what was named, The Four Aces Alliance.

And more importantly, that was also the first time, in which I discovered, that my current situation, and who I currently was, was only one, of two other anime canon timelines, in which I, had wound up allying, in both of them, with three known female magical girls. Who would later be aptly coined, as 'The 90s Magical Girl Holy Trinity.'

"But viewers...Yes, Keiko here again...*I say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers, before bringing my attention back up again. To which I then proceed, to smile with both eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a cute manner. To which I then open my brown eyes again, in order to continue, to properly address the viewers*...Anyway viewers, this now concludes, the first part, next group of six chapters...of what is the second section of episode 23...And so viewers, with this now all very much in mind...I will be seeing all of you lot, in the next chapter...okay?...*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"

Chapter 64: A World Of Elegance And Foreshadowing!: The Battle With STUDY Nears Its Conclusion! (Part 2)

"Hello there viewers...Keiko here...*I say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers, before bringing my attention back up again. To which I then proceed, to smile with both eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a cute manner. To which I then open my brown eyes again, in order to continue, to properly address the viewers*...Anyways viewers...we will now be heading, right into, what is the first part of this episode...Well viewers...let us now, quickly recap the previous chapter...or in other words, what was chapter 63...okay?...*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"

And here, is the recap, of the previous chapter, in question...

Which currently, was just after me and Misaka, had met up with Kuroko, just after, she had used her pin darts, to destroy a robot. And was just after, I had given Kuroko a sort of kind looking expression, which had pretty much let her know, that now, was not the most ideal time, to be attempting any perverted antics.

Who would later be aptly coined, as 'The 90s Magical Girl Holy Trinity.'

And now, with the recap of the previous chapter, now done and over with. We will now, be picking right up, back where we had left off, from the previous chapter.

Which, was the now ongoing conversation, between me, Misaka, Kuroko, Uiharu, and Saten.

But, there was also someone else, that was currently present in the room with us. And as for who that someone was? Yea well about that...

"I'm sorry, but did you say that it was the diffusion ghost ability?" One Konori Mii then chimed in with asking. And for those who are wondering, yes, this is the exact same Konori, who was last seen, back in 'Chapter 12: Capacity Down!: The Problem With Big Spider!'

And as for what Konori had just asked? Well, that had to do, with an apparent ability, that Janie, who was Febrie's sister, happened to have.

"Hey viewers...Keiko here...so I won't be going into immense and intensely deep detail, about Janie's diffusion ghost ability...I will just go ahead and say, that if used, can wind up, becoming quite a big headache of a problem, for all of us...But viewers, more on that a bit later...and with that, back to the chapter...*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"

And whilst all of us, took the time, to talk about our plan of attack, regarding STUDY. I however, upon remembering something, then fell into a sort of deep thought.

"I mean, I am now remembering, back to when I was shown that vision, of Misaka...looking not quite like herself...And, if I have this suspicion right, that Gensei Kihara, is not in fact dead...as I had originally thought that he was...then...if something isn't done, when that supposed future event, is set into motion...then I fear, that it won't just be me, Misaka, and the rest of Academy City, that will wind up paying, for the worst case scenario, that would wind up potentially amounting from it," I thought to myself, as my mind, suddenly couldn't help, but drift back to when I had been shown the vision in question.

And, though I did not know it at the time. The very reason, as to why this had been shown to me, actually had something to do, with how one Shinko Hanasaki, had been shown her visions as well. And, to make things all the more mysterious, every one of these visions, were being shown, to me, her, and someone else as well, all from the same individual. Who just so happened to be, the very same individual, who all three of me, had met in the void, on more then one occasion.

And, it was a certain someone, who I never knew, was the type to be involved in things, outside of their own anime canon timeline. I mean after all, she wasn't the one who possessed one 'World of Elegance,' for no reason.

"Hello again viewers...I see that I have now gotten your attention, with that last bit of foreshadowing...*I now proceed to smile a bit broadly*....I mean after all, I need to make some sort of reference, to the very line of well written self-insert fanfics, that had been written, by one Brett Handy...And yes viewers...I feel, as though, these three fanfics, do in fact, live up to his self-insert fanfics reputations...But viewers, I think that that is more then enough of that...So, I will see all of you lot, in the next chapter...okay?...*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"

Chapter 65: Jack Pots And Cheap Shots!: The Battle With STUDY Nears Its Conclusion! (Part 3)

"Hello there viewers...Keiko here...*I say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers, before bringing my attention back up again. To which I then proceed, to smile with both eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a cute manner. To which I then open my brown eyes again, in order to continue, to properly address the viewers*...Anyways viewers...we will now be heading, right into, what is the first part of this episode...Well viewers...let us now, quickly recap the previous chapter...or in other words, what was chapter 64...okay?...*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"

And here, is the recap, of the previous chapter, in question...

"I'm sorry, but did you say that it was the diffusion ghost ability?" One Konori Mii then chimed in with asking. And for those who are wondering, yes, this is the exact same Konori, who was last seen, back in 'Chapter 12: Capacity Down!: The Problem With Big Spider!'

And whilst all of us, took the time, to talk about our plan of attack, regarding STUDY. I however, upon remembering something, then fell into a sort of deep thought.

"I mean, I am now remembering, back to when I was shown that vision, of Misaka...looking not quite like herself...And, if I have this suspicion right, that Gensei Kihara, is not in fact dead...as I had originally thought that he was...then...if something isn't done, when that supposed future event, is set into motion...then I fear, that it won't just be me, Misaka, and the rest of Academy City, that will wind up paying, for the worst case scenario, that would wind up potentially amounting from it," I thought to myself, as my mind, suddenly couldn't help, but drift back to when I had been shown the vision in question.

And, it was a certain someone, who I never knew, was the type to be involved in things, outside of their own anime canon timeline. I mean after all, she wasn't the one who possessed one 'World of Elegance,' for no reason.

And now, with the recap of the previous chapter, now done and over with. We will now, be picking right up, back where we had left off, from the previous chapter.

"Hello viewers, Keiko here...*I say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers, before bringing my attention back up again. To which I then proceed, to smile with both eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a cute manner. To which I then open my brown eyes again, in order to continue, to properly address the viewers*...Now then, I will now be explaining Janie's diffusion ghost ability, to all of you, in just a bit more detail...Mind you, it won't be that much more in depth...But I digress...anyway, the diffusion ghost ability, requires a hair sample for a medium...or in other words, it requires the hair sample, to be able to be properly controlled...And with the ability, it allows Janie, to convert the use of AIM Diffusion Fields, to be used in an enclosed space, into virtual matter, and as such achieve control...So in other words here viewers...not the most safe of abilities, and nor is it a good thing, if it winds up being used at all...*I now proceed to give off a sort of broken smile*...But viewers...I think that that is enough foreshadowing for now...So then, back to the chapter...*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"

Which given the current conversation...

"Okay, so with system-like abilities, it really doesn't wind up suiting its use for large scale attack," Kuroko wind up saying, which had been in response, to what had recently been said, regarding Janie's diffusion ghost ability.

And, though I was about to respond to what Kuroko had just stated, in an effort, to try and clear up the clear confusion, that she was currently feeling. I then decided, to not say anything. Which, although I wasn't a fan of doing at that very moment. But with what was about to be said, would wind up having me realize, that when it came to me having made this decision, it was very much in fact, the right thing to have done, in this moment.

"But, they did say, that a bunch of simple commands, are punched in ahead of time, to the fields that Janie materializes," Misaka now wound up saying. Which was the exact reason, as to why I had chosen, not to say anything in the previous moment, to Kuroko.

And, I then, breathed a sigh of relief. Now that I realized, that I didn't have to explain any of it, to Kuroko.

"And just for the record viewers...Sorry, Keiko here again...*I say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers, before bringing my attention back up again. To which I then proceed, to smile with both eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a cute manner. To which I then open my brown eyes again, in order to continue, to properly address the viewers*...Now then, I know what you are all most likely thinking...Well mind you, you might all not be thinking this...but just hear me out for a second...Now then..."

"Uh yea...so...Keiko?...Not the best time, to be doing this...as we are sort of in the middle of a pretty important conversation...*Misaka says this, while giving me the sort of kind looking expression, to pretty much let me know, that I should be saving this fourth wall break for a potential future moment or chapter*"

"Oh, right Misaka, my bad...*I say this, while giving a sort of sheepish looking grin, with both of my eyes closed, a semi sort of blush present on my face. And I had placed one of my hands, behind my head, as a way to show the viewers, that I was somewhat embarrassed, by this current situation. Which then wound up subsiding a second or so later, so that I could then continue, to address the viewers*...Oh, and by the way viewers...I wouldn't say, that these three fanfics, are 'perfect, just like me'....Because to be quite clear here viewers...I am not perfect, as no one is perfect...But, that doesn't mean, that one Roy Garber, from the A&E series Shipping Wars, couldn't be such...I mean after all, he was, and still very much is, the best transporter, to have ever been on that show...I mean, Roy might have been a bit rough around the edges...But, he knew what it took, to get the job done...And also viewers...if you take a look at the first part, of this chapters title...this chapter, is a sort of tribute, to the person in question...I mean after all viewers...the very Shipping Wars episode, 'Jackpots and Cheap Shots,' was the very episode, in which Roy Garber, wound up shipping, the worlds largest drum set...Plus, he wound up beating another transporter, and took their entire amount, of what they had earned from their shipment as well...And viewers, the reason, as to why I am not going into further detail, about the episode in question...is because I am prompting you all, to go and watch it...So that way, you can all see the reason, as to why Roy Garber, is known as Mr. Perfect...*I say this, while smiling a bit broadly*...Anyway viewers...I shall be seeing all of you lot, in the next chapter...okay?...*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"

Chapter 66: Come Hell Or High Water!: The Battle With STUDY Nears Its Conclusion! (Part 4)

"Hello there viewers...Keiko here...*I say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers, before bringing my attention back up again. To which I then proceed, to smile with both eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a cute manner. To which I then open my brown eyes again, in order to continue, to properly address the viewers*...Anyways viewers...we will now be heading, right into, what is the first part of this episode...Well viewers...let us now, quickly recap the previous chapter...or in other words, what was chapter 65...okay?...*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"

And here, is the recap, of the previous chapter, in question...

"Hello viewers, Keiko here...*I say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers, before bringing my attention back up again. To which I then proceed, to smile with both eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a cute manner. To which I then open my brown eyes again, in order to continue, to properly address the viewers*...Now then, I will now be explaining Janie's diffusion ghost ability, to all of you, in just a bit more detail...Mind you, it won't be that much more in depth...But I digress...anyway, the diffusion ghost ability, requires a hair sample for a medium...or in other words, it requires the hair sample, to be able to be properly controlled...And with the ability, it allows Janie, to convert the use of AIM Diffusion Fields, to be used in an enclosed space, into virtual matter, and as such achieve control...So in other words here viewers...not the most safe of abilities, and nor is it a good thing, if it winds up being used at all...*I now proceed to give off a sort of broken smile*...But viewers...I think that that is enough foreshadowing for now...So then, back to the chapter...*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"

Which given the that recent conversation...

"Okay, so with system-like abilities, it really doesn't wind up suiting its use for large scale attack," Kuroko had wound up saying, which had been in response, to what had recently been said, regarding Janie's diffusion ghost ability.

And, though I was about to respond to what Kuroko had stated, regarding Janie's system-like ability. Which was going to be in an effort, to try and clear up the clear confusion, that she was currently feeling. I then decided, to not say anything in response. Which, although I wasn't exactly a fan, of doing so, at that very moment.

But, with what was Misaka was about to say, to Kuroko in response. It would then, wind up having me realize, that when it came to me, having made my decision not to speak up regarding it, was very much in fact, the right thing for me to have done, in that moment.

"But, they did say, that a bunch of simple commands, are punched in ahead of time, to the fields that Janie materializes," Misaka had then wound up saying. Which had wound up being the exact response, as to why I had chosen, not to say anything in the previous moment, to Kuroko, regarding her confusion.

And then, I wound up breathing a sigh of relief. Since I had then realized, that I didn't have to explain any of it, to Kuroko.

Because to be honest, even I, didn't exactly understand Janie's diffusion ghost ability. But, this confusion of mine, would wind up being cleared up, in due time.

And now, with the recap of the previous chapter, now done and over with. We will now, be picking right up, back where we had left off, from the previous chapter.

"For example, eliminate any opponent who attacks, something like that," Misaka wound up following up with saying. Which was in order to fill everyone else in, on what Janie's diffusion ghost ability, basically entailed, so too speak.

"So basically, its like having a bunch of autonomous robots on hand, right?" Uiharu responded with asking, in order, to try and better understand, what exactly Misaka was trying to say, with regard to Janie's diffusion ghost ability. And Uiharu had asked this, with a sort of semi confused looking expression, as well as tone, in her voice.

"If all this is true, then a large scale attack wouldn't be impossible," Konori then chimed in with saying. And Konori had said this, with a sort of ominous sounding tone, to her voice.

"Febrie's sister, Janie, do you know where STUDY has been keeping Janie? If we stop them, then they can't launch attack," Saten now wound up chiming in with saying.

And, I was about to respond to what Saten had just said. But, once again, Misaka wound up beating me to it.

"Well yeah that's true, but this Nunotaba woman that I mentioned to you before, she wasn't told what the base for the attack was going to be," Misaka wound up saying to Saten in response. Which she said, in order to clear up yet more of the confusion, that was still present among some of us.

But, while this conversation was currently going on. And, because I was not able to get a word in edgewise. I was, as of right now, sort of deep in thought. Well, when I say that...

"Okay seriously?!...I can't get a word in edgewise here!...So, I guess I still haven't gotten used, to the sort of fast paced dialogue, that takes place in the anime...Sure, I watched the first three episodes of A Certain Scientific Railgun, before winding up here...But truthfully here viewers...that pales in comparison, for actually experiencing these sort of fast paced conversations...in person...Which by the way viewers...since we sort of have the time at the moment to ourselves...so too speak...What do you all think, of this fanfic so far?...And no viewers, you don't have the luxury, of going to the review or comments section, and then attempting, to try and tear these fanfics apart, for no reason...Other then your own petty jealousy...And viewers...you know who you are that do this...So don't even try it...Now then, back to the story," I thought to myself, which during this, I had briefly turned my attention, as well as my head, slightly to the right of me, in order, to briefly address the viewers.

And now, getting back to the current conversation...

"Once Janie winds up using her ability, Nunotaba thinks that Febrie, will wind up giving us a better idea of Janie's location. Or at least the direction of where to start looking," Misaka said, in order to further clarify, what our supposed upcoming plan of attack, was going to wind up being.

"Yes, but if she uses her ability, doesn't that mean, that we would already be too late?" Kuroko then asked, with another bit of confusing tone, in her voice.

And, once again, before I could interject, this time, Konori, wound up beating me to it.

"If we're going to forestall this, then the best way to go about this would be the powered suit angle. There must be a large number of them currently deployed, around the Reach Assembly site," Konori now wound up speaking up with in response.

Which not surprisingly, wound up with me, now getting just a bit more frustrated. Since I still wasn't able, to get a word of mine in, edgewise.

However, before anyone else wound up saying something in response. I then, finally wound up attempting to speak up.

But, however, just as I was about to speak up...

"Good news everyone! I finally got some useful information using my father's channels," Kongo now wound up saying, as she, Wannai, and Awatsuki, had now just entered the room, having now just opened the door.

"*I now let out a big sigh*...Okay...so maybe I should just let the current conversation just play out...since I can't really seem, to try and get a word in edgewise, at the current moment...And by the way viewers...in case you are at all wondering...this is what can happen, when you aren't quick enough, to try and get a word of yours in edgewise, while in the world of an anime show...But fear not viewers...as I will get my time to speak...Only, just not at the current moment...*I proceed to think this, while a bead of sweat, is very much visible, on one side of my face," I thought to myself. Which while during this, I had once again, wound up briefly turning my attention, slightly to the right of me, in order, to briefly address the viewers.

And, though I did not know at the time, our fight against STUDY, wasn't going to wind up being, our toughest fights.

In fact, given what fight lay ahead for all of us, in only a month or so time. That, would wind up being, our toughest battle yet.

And, more importantly, would wind up proving, beyond any sort of doubt, that while you will always have a good chance, dealing with most hands in the game of poker. You will always, have an incredibly rough and tough time, dealing with a hand of Four Aces.

""Hello there viewers...Keiko here...*I say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers, before bringing my attention back up again. To which I then proceed, to smile with both eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a cute manner. To which I then open my brown eyes again, in order to continue, to properly address the viewers*...Anyways viewers...this now marks the end, of this current chapter...*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner. To which I then stop doing so temporarily, in order to continue, to address the viewers*...But fret not viewers...as we will be continuing right into the action, in the next chapter...And so, with that in mind viewers...I shall be seeing all of you lot, in the next chapter...okay?...*I say this, while once again, smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"

Chapter 67: Aero Hands, Lucky Strikes, And Railguns!: The Battle With STUDY Nears Its Conclusion! (Part 5)

"Hello there viewers...Keiko here...*I say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers, before bringing my attention back up again. To which I then proceed, to smile with both eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a cute manner. To which I then open my brown eyes again, in order to continue, to properly address the viewers*...Anyways viewers...we will now be heading, right into, what is the first part of this episode...Well viewers...let us now, quickly recap the previous chapter...or in other words, what was chapter 66...okay?...*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"

And here, is the recap, of the previous chapter, in question...

"For example, eliminate any opponent who attacks, something like that," Misaka wound up following up with saying. Which was in order to fill everyone else in, on what Janie's diffusion ghost ability, basically entailed, so too speak.

"So basically, its like having a bunch of autonomous robots on hand, right?"

And now, with the recap of the previous chapter, now done and over with. We will now, be picking right up, back where we had left off, from the previous chapter.

"Hello there viewers...Keiko here...*I say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers, before bringing my attention back up again. To which I then proceed, to smile with both eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a cute manner. To which I then open my brown eyes again, in order to continue, to properly address the viewers*...Okay, so before we proceed any further...some housekeeping of sorts is in order...Now then, just to clear a few things up...that were left out of the last chapter...The only things that I need mention, from the conversation regarding, as Konori put, as 'the mech suit angle,' so too speak...Well apparently, there had been a large amount of blackouts, that had taken place, in certain parts of Academy City...and most, had been centered, around getting some sort of blackout of security, in order to transport, several containers, into the blacked out areas...Which in total, contained...*I now clear my throat, before continuing to address the viewers*...some 20,000 mechs...Yes viewers, you read that number right...And, to make matters just that much worse...for those who were going to ask...'Well, why don't you have Anti-Skill assist you like they wound up doing back when you and Misaka went against Therestina?'...Yeah, well about that viewers...for you see, STUDY went ahead, and sort of fired the very head Anti-Skill member, who had helped me and Misaka, when we went against Therestina, and MAR...So unfortunately viewers...at least for now...that option, is currently not available to us...Now then viewers...with that now all explained, and now out of the way...What do you say, that we get on with the chapter now...hmm?...*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"

And now, putting my fourth wall breaks aside, at least for the moment. And, considering the fact, that I wasn't able to get a word in edgewise in the last chapter. That, was about to change. And regarding that in a bit more detail...

"Keiko, you seem to be deep in thought, do you have anything you need to get off of your chest?" Misaka suddenly wound up asking me.

And, though I seemed hesitant, in regarding what I wanted to say, and how to get it across...

"Please Keiko, if you have something that you need to say. Just remember, that you and Misaka, are not alone in any of this," Kongo suddenly wound up chiming in with saying to me. In an effort, to try and give me the confidence, to try and say what I needed to say.

And not surprisingly, given that Kongo was the one that had said this, it actually wound up taking me completely by surprise.

But nevertheless, it wound up doing the trick. As I then, decided to speak up.

"It's nothing really, I just want to be able to save Febrie and Janie. And Kongo, thank you, as that meant more to me then you know. Now then min-na, what do you say, that we go and save them?" I said to everyone present. And, without even realizing it, I had said the word 'everyone,' in Japanese. Almost as if, I had been saying it for years. And in fact, I had been doing so. Well, Keiko had been, but you get what I mean.

But, more importantly, even after the battle against STUDY had reached its conclusion. Me, Misaka, and the rest of our friends, would soon have a much bigger problem on our hands. And, on top of that, it would make, what had went on back on August 9th, look like a cakewalk.

Especially, since a certain old man, as a certain evil scientist. Wasn't only not dead. But, given most recent events, was not who he seemed. And, when it came to a certain entity of pure evil. One Gensei Kihara, would wind up soon becoming, the least of our worries. And, would lead us, into yet another encounter, with The 90s Magical Girl Holy Trinity.

""But viewers...hello, Keiko here again...*I say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers, before bringing my attention back up again. To which I then proceed, to smile with both eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a cute manner. To which I then open my brown eyes again, in order to continue, to properly address the viewers*...Anyways viewers...that is something, that will be covered at a bit later of a date...And viewers...this now marks the end, of the current chapter...*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner. To which I then stop doing so temporarily, in order to continue, to address the viewers*...And so, with that in mind viewers...I shall be seeing all of you lot, in the next chapter...which will be the sixth, and final part...of episode 23...okay?...*I say this, while once again, smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner. The only difference this time, was that my smile, unlike all of the other times, was now even cuter*"

To which I then open my brown eyes again, in order to continue, to properly address the viewers*...Anyways viewers...we will now be heading, right into, what is the first part of this episode...Well viewers...let us now, quickly recap the previous chapter...or in other words, what was chapter 67...okay?...*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"

And here, is the recap, of the previous chapter, in question...

"Hello there viewers...Keiko here...*I say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers, before bringing my attention back up again. To which I then proceed, to smile with both eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a cute manner. To which I then open my brown eyes again, in order to continue, to properly address the viewers*...Okay, so before we proceed any further...some housekeeping of sorts is in order...Now then, just to clear a few things up...that were left out of the last chapter...The only things that I need mention, from the conversation regarding, as Konori put, as 'the mech suit angle,' so too speak...Well apparently, there had been a large amount of blackouts, that had taken place, in certain parts of Academy City...and most, had been centered, around getting some sort of blackout of security, in order to transport, several containers, into the blacked out areas...Which in total, contained...*I now clear my throat, before continuing to address the viewers*...some 20,000 mechs...Yes viewers, you read that number right...And, to make matters just that much worse...for those who were going to ask...'Well, why don't you have Anti-Skill assist you like they wound up doing back when you and Misaka went against Therestina?'...Yeah, well about that viewers...for you see, STUDY went ahead, and sort of fired the very head Anti-Skill member, who had helped me and Misaka, when we went against Therestina, and MAR...So unfortunately viewers...at least for now...that option, is currently not available to us...Now then viewers...with that now all explained, and now out of the way...What do you say, that we get on with the chapter now...hmm?...*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"

And now, putting my fourth wall breaks aside, at least for the moment. And, considering the fact, that I wasn't able to get a word in edgewise in the last chapter. That, was about to change. And regarding that in a bit more detail...

"Keiko, you seem to be deep in thought, do you have anything you need to get off of your chest?" Misaka suddenly wound up asking me.

And, though I seemed hesitant, in regarding what I wanted to say, and how to get it across...

"Please Keiko, if you have something that you need to say. Just remember, that you and Misaka, are not alone in any of this," Kongo suddenly wound up chiming in with saying to me. In an effort, to try and give me the confidence, to try and say what I needed to say.

And not surprisingly, given that Kongo was the one that had said this, it actually wound up taking me completely by surprise.

But nevertheless, it wound up doing the trick. As I then, decided to speak up.

"It's nothing really, I just want to be able to save Febrie and Janie. And Kongo, thank you, as that meant more to me then you know. Now then min-na, what do you say, that we go and save them?" I said to everyone present. And, without even realizing it, I had said the word 'everyone,' in Japanese. Almost as if, I had been saying it for years. And in fact, I had been doing so. Well, Keiko had been, but you get what I mean.

But, more importantly, even after the battle against STUDY had reached its conclusion. Me, Misaka, and the rest of our friends, would soon have a much bigger problem on our hands. And, on top of that, it would make, what had went on back on August 9th, look like a cakewalk.

Especially, since a certain old man, as a certain evil scientist. Wasn't only not dead. But, given most recent events, was not who he seemed. And, when it came to a certain entity of pure evil. One Gensei Kihara, would wind up soon becoming, the least of our worries. And, would lead us, into yet another encounter, with The 90s Magical Girl Holy Trinity.

And now, with the recap of the previous chapter, now done and over with. We will now, be picking right up, back where we had left off, from the previous chapter.

Well, not exactly, as in the very situation in question was...well...

"See, they're sleeping, in each others arms," Kuroko Shirai had now said, with a bit of a perverse sounding tone in her voice. And, as for the reason? Well, in an attempt, to try and make it seem, as though we were not about to leave Tokiwadai, in order to go and stop STUDY. Kuroko, had tried to, make it seem, as though we were in our beds, sleeping.

And to do this, Kuroko had gone, and taken a stuffed teddy bear, that Misaka usually had in her bed. Along with several of the pillows from my bed. And, a rolled up bit of the sheets, from her bed.

And, upon seeing this perverted sort of site. Me and Misaka, which Misaka, had just finished her shower. And as for me, well...

"Kuroko, would you mind telling me...?" I said, only to have my statement cut short, by Misaka, suddenly smacking Kuroko on the head, for witnessing yet another of her perverted antics.

And to be honest, I couldn't then help, but give off a sort of small smile.

"Well, it is good to see, that things are still alright. Well viewers...at least for now...Oh right, sorry, Keiko here...I know viewers...it's been quite the crazy last few chapters, hasn't it?...*I say this, while giving off a sort of warm and comforting looking smile*...Now then viewers...this now marks the end of the sixth part, and the end of episode 23...And so viewers...with that in mind...I will be seeing all of you lot, in the next chapter...Which will be the first part, and the start...of episode 24...which is going to be the last episode...of Railgun Season S...okay?...*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"

Chapter 69: Who Is Deadliest?!: Keiko And Misaka Vs. STUDY! (Part 1)

"Hello there viewers...Keiko here...*I say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers, before bringing my attention back up again. To which I then proceed, to smile with both eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a cute manner. To which I then open my brown eyes again, in order to continue, to properly address the viewers*...Anyways viewers...we will now be heading, right into, what is the first part of this episode...Well viewers...let us now, quickly recap the previous chapters...or the entirety, of episode 23...or in other words viewers, what was chapters 63-68...okay?...Oh, and a Happy Thanksgiving, from me, Misaka, and the rest of The Four Aces Alliance, to you...Now then, on with the lengthy recap....*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"

And here, is the recap, of the previous chapters, in question, in no particular order...

"How did they know where to find the both of you?" Nunotaba suddenly chimed in with asking to both me and Misaka.

"Well Nunotaba...I am so glad you asked...and viewers...Yea, Keiko here by the way...Anyway viewers...I think that it is now time, for us to do a flashback of sorts..."

"Yea, so Keiko? How about you just explain it, rather then have us have to go through, what is more then likely, going to be a very lengthy flashback?...*Misaka winds up saying this to me, while giving me the sort of look, that told me, that perhaps I should take her statement, into account*"

"Okay Misaka, I suppose so...if you want to be boring..."

"What was that Keiko?...*Misaka proceeds to say this to me, with a look, that now pretty much tells me, that perhaps I should be thinking twice, about thinking something similar, during a future fourth wall break*"

"Uh nothing Misaka...*I say this, while a bead of sweat, is currently very visible, on one side of my face. Which winds up quickly subsiding, along with my currently nervous looking expression. To which I then, proceed to continue, to address the viewers*...So in short viewers...do you know, in the James Bond movie Casino Royale...when James Bond, played by Daniel Craig...has a sort of tracking device, planted into his skin?...Well viewers, that just so happens to be, the similar type of device, that had allowed Kuroko, Uiharu, and Saten, to find and locate the both of us...Also, you might all be wondering, why I used Casino Royale, as a sort of analogy?...Well viewers...it has to actually do, with the whole Poker aspect, of that movie...As the concept of Poker, so too speak...Will wind up playing a huge role, in a later arc, in this fanfic...But viewers...at least for now, we will proceed onward, by getting right back, to the current situation...okay?...*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"

Anyway, fourth wall breaking, and fourth wall breaking moments aside, at least for the moment. And, getting back to the current situation. Which was currently. Well...

"Kuroko!" I called out to Kuroko, who at the moment we had happened upon her, had just finished destroying yet another robot, with quite a bit, of her pin darts.

But, given Kuroko's response...

"Sissy...Keiko...!" Kuroko then responded with, in a somewhat perverse sounding manner.

But, as she was about to approach me and Misaka, in an effort to try, quite an inopportune perverse leap towards us. I then, simply made an somewhat kind expression, with just a bit of emotion, that made Kuroko, perhaps think twice, with trying this, given the current situation.

And now, with the recap of the previous chapter, now over and done with. We will now, carry on, where we had last left off.

Which currently, was just after me and Misaka, had met up with Kuroko, just after, she had used her pin darts, to destroy a robot. And was just after, I had given Kuroko a sort of kind looking expression, which had pretty much let her know, that now, was not the most ideal time, to be attempting any perverted antics. Well, that was at least, until our current fight against STUDY, had finally reached its conclusion.

And, upon the three of us, now having regrouped with Uiharu, and Saten...

"What, a terrorist attack at the upcoming Reach Assembly!?" The voice of Saten, then suddenly blurted out, with quite a bit of surprise in her current tone.

"Yes Saten. However, the word that had been described by one Haruki, was a 'revolution,' so to speak," I wound up saying to Saten in response. And I made sure, to put a strong sort of emphasis, on the word 'revolution.'

"What, that's crazy!" Kuroko wound up responding to what I had just said in response.

"Well Kuroko technically that would be the case. However Kuroko, seeing as how we have recently been in crazier scenarios. I would say that this, isn't exactly the most crazy. I mean after all Kuroko, I need not remind you, about what went on, back on August 9th, right?" I wound up saying to Kuroko in response, in order to remind her, that our given situation, was only one-third, of what was, and still currently is, a much larger picture, and situation.

And this was compounded, by the all too obvious fact. As that was the date in question, in which me, Misaka, and Kuroko, had all had our first run-in, with the rest, of what was named, The Four Aces Alliance.

And more importantly, that was also the first time, in which I discovered, that my current situation, and who I currently was, was only one, of two other anime canon timelines, in which I, had wound up allying, in both of them, with three known female magical girls. Who would later be aptly coined, as 'The 90s Magical Girl Holy Trinity.'

"See, they're sleeping, in each others arms," Kuroko Shirai had now said, with a bit of a perverse sounding tone in her voice. And, as for the reason? Well, in an attempt, to try and make it seem, as though we were not about to leave Tokiwadai, in order to go and stop STUDY. Kuroko, had tried to, make it seem, as though we were in our beds, sleeping.

And to do this, Kuroko had gone, and taken a stuffed teddy bear, that Misaka usually had in her bed. Along with several of the pillows from my bed. And, a rolled up bit of the sheets, from her bed.

And, upon seeing this perverted sort of site. Me and Misaka, which Misaka, had just finished her shower. And as for me, well...

"Kuroko, would you mind telling me...?" I said, only to have my statement cut short, by Misaka, suddenly smacking Kuroko on the head, for witnessing yet another of her perverted antics.

And to be honest, I couldn't then help, but give off a sort of small smile.

Which, was the now ongoing conversation, between me, Misaka, Kuroko, Uiharu, and Saten.

But, there was also someone else, that was currently present in the room with us. And as for who that someone was? Yea well about that...

"I'm sorry, but did you say that it was the diffusion ghost ability?" One Konori Mii then chimed in with asking. And for those who are wondering, yes, this is the exact same Konori, who was last seen, back in 'Chapter 12: Capacity Down!: The Problem With Big Spider!'

And as for what Konori had just asked? Well, that had to do, with an apparent ability, that Janie, who was Febrie's sister, happened to have.

"Hey viewers...Keiko here...so I won't be going into immense and intensely deep detail, about Janie's diffusion ghost ability...I will just go ahead and say, that if used, can wind up, becoming quite a big headache of a problem, for all of us...But viewers, more on that a bit later...and with that, back to the chapter...*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"

And whilst all of us, took the time, to talk about our plan of attack, regarding STUDY. I however, upon remembering something, then fell into a sort of deep thought.

"I mean, I am now remembering, back to when I was shown that vision, of Misaka...looking not quite like herself...And, if I have this suspicion right, that Gensei Kihara, is not in fact dead...as I had originally thought that he was...then...if something isn't done, when that supposed future event, is set into motion...then I fear, that it won't just be me, Misaka, and the rest of Academy City, that will wind up paying, for the worst case scenario, that would wind up potentially amounting from it," I thought to myself, as my mind, suddenly couldn't help, but drift back to when I had been shown the vision in question.

And, though I did not know it at the time. The very reason, as to why this had been shown to me, actually had something to do, with how one Shinko Hanasaki, had been shown her visions as well. And, to make things all the more mysterious, every one of these visions, were being shown, to me, her, and someone else as well, all from the same individual. Who just so happened to be, the very same individual, who all three of me, had met in the void, on more then one occasion.

And, it was a certain someone, who I never knew, was the type to be involved in things, outside of their own anime canon timeline. I mean after all, she wasn't the one who possessed one 'World of Elegance,' for no reason.

"Okay, so with system-like abilities, it really doesn't wind up suiting its use for large scale attack," Kuroko wind up saying, which had been in response, to what had recently been said, regarding Janie's diffusion ghost ability.

And, though I was about to respond to what Kuroko had just stated, in an effort, to try and clear up the clear confusion, that she was currently feeling. I then decided, to not say anything. Which, although I wasn't a fan of doing at that very moment. But with what was about to be said, would wind up having me realize, that when it came to me having made this decision, it was very much in fact, the right thing to have done, in this moment.

"But, they did say, that a bunch of simple commands, are punched in ahead of time, to the fields that Janie materializes," Misaka now wound up saying. Which was the exact reason, as to why I had chosen, not to say anything in the previous moment, to Kuroko.

And, I then, breathed a sigh of relief. Now that I realized, that I didn't have to explain any of it, to Kuroko.

"And just for the record viewers...Sorry, Keiko here again...*I say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers, before bringing my attention back up again. To which I then proceed, to smile with both eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a cute manner. To which I then open my brown eyes again, in order to continue, to properly address the viewers*...Now then, I know what you are all most likely thinking...Well mind you, you might all not be thinking this...but just hear me out for a second...Now then..."

"Uh yea...so...Keiko?...Not the best time, to be doing this...as we are sort of in the middle of a pretty important conversation...*Misaka says this, while giving me the sort of kind looking expression, to pretty much let me know, that I should be saving this fourth wall break for a potential future moment or chapter*"

"For example, eliminate any opponent who attacks, something like that," Misaka wound up following up with saying. Which was in order to fill everyone else in, on what Janie's diffusion ghost ability, basically entailed, so too speak.

"So basically, its like having a bunch of autonomous robots on hand, right?" Uiharu responded with asking, in order, to try and better understand, what exactly Misaka was trying to say, with regard to Janie's diffusion ghost ability. And Uiharu had asked this, with a sort of semi confused looking expression, as well as tone, in her voice.

"If all this is true, then a large scale attack wouldn't be impossible," Konori then chimed in with saying. And Konori had said this, with a sort of ominous sounding tone, to her voice.

"Febrie's sister, Janie, do you know where STUDY has been keeping Janie? If we stop them, then they can't launch attack," Saten now wound up chiming in with saying.

And, I was about to respond to what Saten had just said. But, once again, Misaka wound up beating me to it.

"Well yeah that's true, but this Nunotaba woman that I mentioned to you before, she wasn't told what the base for the attack was going to be," Misaka wound up saying to Saten in response. Which she said, in order to clear up yet more of the confusion, that was still present among some of us.

But, while this conversation was currently going on. And, because I was not able to get a word in edgewise. I was, as of right now, sort of deep in thought. Well, when I say that...

"Okay seriously?!...I can't get a word in edgewise here!...So, I guess I still haven't gotten used, to the sort of fast paced dialogue, that takes place in the anime...Sure, I watched the first three episodes of A Certain Scientific Railgun, before winding up here...But truthfully here viewers...that pales in comparison, for actually experiencing these sort of fast paced conversations...in person...Which by the way viewers...since we sort of have the time at the moment to ourselves...so too speak...What do you all think, of this fanfic so far?...And no viewers, you don't have the luxury, of going to the review or comments section, and then attempting, to try and tear these fanfics apart, for no reason...Other then your own petty jealousy...And viewers...you know who you are that do this...So don't even try it...Now then, back to the story," I thought to myself, which during this, I had briefly turned my attention, as well as my head, slightly to the right of me, in order, to briefly address the viewers.

And now, getting back to the current conversation...

"Once Janie winds up using her ability, Nunotaba thinks that Febrie, will wind up giving us a better idea of Janie's location. Or at least the direction of where to start looking," Misaka said, in order to further clarify, what our supposed upcoming plan of attack, was going to wind up being.

"Yes, but if she uses her ability, doesn't that mean, that we would already be too late?" Kuroko then asked, with another bit of confusing tone, in her voice.

And, once again, before I could interject, this time, Konori, wound up beating me to it.

"If we're going to forestall this, then the best way to go about this would be the powered suit angle. There must be a large number of them currently deployed, around the Reach Assembly site," Konori now wound up speaking up with in response.

Which not surprisingly, wound up with me, now getting just a bit more frustrated. Since I still wasn't able, to get a word of mine in, edgewise.

However, before anyone else wound up saying something in response. I then, finally wound up attempting to speak up.

But, however, just as I was about to speak up...

"Good news everyone! I finally got some useful information using my father's channels," Kongo now wound up saying, as she, Wannai, and Awatsuki, had now just entered the room, having now just opened the door.

"*I now let out a big sigh*...Okay...so maybe I should just let the current conversation just play out...since I can't really seem, to try and get a word in edgewise, at the current moment...And by the way viewers...in case you are at all wondering...this is what can happen, when you aren't quick enough, to try and get a word of yours in edgewise, while in the world of an anime show...But fear not viewers...as I will get my time to speak...Only, just not at the current moment...*I proceed to think this, while a bead of sweat, is very much visible, on one side of my face," I thought to myself. Which while during this, I had once again, wound up briefly turning my attention, slightly to the right of me, in order, to briefly address the viewers.

And, though I did not know at the time, our fight against STUDY, wasn't going to wind up being, our toughest fights.

In fact, given what fight lay ahead for all of us, in only a month or so time. That, would wind up being, our toughest battle yet.

And, more importantly, would wind up proving, beyond any sort of doubt, that while you will always have a good chance, dealing with most hands in the game of poker. You will always, have an incredibly rough and tough time, dealing with a hand of Four Aces.

"Hello there viewers...Keiko here...*I say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers, before bringing my attention back up again. To which I then proceed, to smile with both eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a cute manner. To which I then open my brown eyes again, in order to continue, to properly address the viewers*...Okay, so before we proceed any further...some housekeeping of sorts is in order...Now then, just to clear a few things up...that were left out of the last chapter...The only things that I need mention, from the conversation regarding, as Konori put, as 'the mech suit angle,' so too speak...Well apparently, there had been a large amount of blackouts, that had taken place, in certain parts of Academy City...and most, had been centered, around getting some sort of blackout of security, in order to transport, several containers, into the blacked out areas...Which in total, contained...*I now clear my throat, before continuing to address the viewers*...some 20,000 mechs...Yes viewers, you read that number right...And, to make matters just that much worse...for those who were going to ask...'Well, why don't you have Anti-Skill assist you like they wound up doing back when you and Misaka went against Therestina?'...Yeah, well about that viewers...for you see, STUDY went ahead, and sort of fired the very head Anti-Skill member, who had helped me and Misaka, when we went against Therestina, and MAR...So unfortunately viewers...at least for now...that option, is currently not available to us...Now then viewers...with that now all explained, and now out of the way...What do you say, that we get on with the chapter now...hmm?...*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"

And now, putting my fourth wall breaks aside, at least for the moment. And, considering the fact, that I wasn't able to get a word in edgewise in the last chapter. That, was about to change. And regarding that in a bit more detail...

"Keiko, you seem to be deep in thought, do you have anything you need to get off of your chest?" Misaka suddenly wound up asking me.

And, though I seemed hesitant, in regarding what I wanted to say, and how to get it across...

"Please Keiko, if you have something that you need to say. Just remember, that you and Misaka, are not alone in any of this," Kongo suddenly wound up chiming in with saying to me. In an effort, to try and give me the confidence, to try and say what I needed to say.

And not surprisingly, given that Kongo was the one that had said this, it actually wound up taking me completely by surprise.

But nevertheless, it wound up doing the trick. As I then, decided to speak up.

"It's nothing really, I just want to be able to save Febrie and Janie. And Kongo, thank you, as that meant more to me then you know. Now then min-na, what do you say, that we go and save them?" I said to everyone present. And, without even realizing it, I had said the word 'everyone,' in Japanese. Almost as if, I had been saying it for years. And in fact, I had been doing so. Well, Keiko had been, but you get what I mean.

But, more importantly, even after the battle against STUDY had reached its conclusion. Me, Misaka, and the rest of our friends, would soon have a much bigger problem on our hands. And, on top of that, it would make, what had went on back on August 9th, look like a cakewalk.

Especially, since a certain old man, as a certain evil scientist. Wasn't only not dead. But, given most recent events, was not who he seemed. And, when it came to a certain entity of pure evil. One Gensei Kihara, would wind up soon becoming, the least of our worries. And, would lead us, into yet another encounter, with The 90s Magical Girl Holy Trinity.

"See, they're sleeping, in each others arms," Kuroko Shirai had now said, with a bit of a perverse sounding tone in her voice. And, as for the reason? Well, in an attempt, to try and make it seem, as though we were not about to leave Tokiwadai, in order to go and stop STUDY. Kuroko, had tried to, make it seem, as though we were in our beds, sleeping.

And to do this, Kuroko had gone, and taken a stuffed teddy bear, that Misaka usually had in her bed. Along with several of the pillows from my bed. And, a rolled up bit of the sheets, from her bed.

And, upon seeing this perverted sort of site. Me and Misaka, which Misaka, had just finished her shower. And as for me, well...

"Kuroko, would you mind telling me...?" I said, only to have my statement cut short, by Misaka, suddenly smacking Kuroko on the head, for witnessing yet another of her perverted antics.

And to be honest, I couldn't then help, but give off a sort of small smile.

And now, with the recap of the previous chapters, now done and over with. We will now, be picking right up, back where we had left off, from the tail end of episode 23.

Which, is the next day. Mind you, we had left off the last chapter yesterday evening. But, I digress.

And, as it currently stood, we were all currently at the several areas that housed the 20,000 mechs. And as for me and Misaka? Well...

"You know, I never would've guessed, that this was going to wind up being our plan of attack...But seeing as how we have Judgment having our back this time...Even without Anti-Skill...I feel as though we have this battle with STUDY already won...Which by the way viewers...is an inference, and not a confirmed correct guess...Now then viewers...what do you say, that you just sit, back, and enjoy reading the following chapters, of STUDY, getting what they truly deserve?...A proper thrashing!" I thought to myself, while me, Misaka, and Febrie, were bounding from building rooftop to building rooftop, on our way to the Reach Assembly area. And, I was still able during this, to briefly turn my attention to the right, of me, to briefly address the viewers.

And, upon me and Misaka getting to our intended destination, which was the main Reach Assembly area. I then decided, to make our presence known.

"Knock knock Aritomi, anyone home? I hope you're ready to answer for the harm that you caused to my sister. Because I am going to take a bit of pleasure, in making you pay for having done that!" I wound up saying, with a witty looking smirk present on my face, that would make even Heath Ledger's Joker giddy.

And, upon Aritomi, commanding the mechs on site, to take us out, so to speak. I then, couldn't help, but let out a big sort of sigh.

However, before I could speak up again, Misaka decided to do so instead.

"Keiko, I would save the rest of your witty banter, for during the fight," Misaka wound up saying to me, as she turned to me, with a sort of knowing smile, present on her face. And this, was while she was still holding Febrie.

"Oh, right Misaka...I wouldn't be willing to do anything less...*I now once again turn my attention, slightly to the right of me, in order to briefly address the viewers*...And viewers, this now marks the end of the current chapter...see you all in part 2...okay?...*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"

Chapter 70: Long Range Attacks And Close Quarters Combat!: Keiko And Misaka Vs. STUDY! (Part 2)

"Hello there viewers, Keiko here...*I say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers, before bringing my attention back up again. To which I then proceed, to smile with both eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a cute manner. To which I then open my brown eyes again, in order to continue, to properly address the viewers*...Anyways viewers...we will now be heading, into what is the second part of this episode...But first viewers...let us now, quickly recap the previous chapter...shall we?....*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"

And, as for the chapter recap in question.

Was when were all currently at the several areas that housed the 20,000 mechs. And as for me and Misaka? Well...

"You know, I never would've guessed, that this was going to wind up being our plan of attack...But seeing as how we have Judgment having our back this time...Even without Anti-Skill...I feel as though we have this battle with STUDY already won...Which by the way viewers...is an inference, and not a confirmed correct guess...Now then viewers...what do you say, that you just sit, back, and enjoy reading the following chapters, of STUDY, getting what they truly deserve?...A proper thrashing!"

"Oh, right Misaka...I wouldn't be willing to do anything less..." I wound up saying back to Misaka in response. Which was followed, by me then doing my usual end of chapter fourth wall break.

And now, with the recap of the previous chapter, now done and over with. We will now, be picking right up, back where we had left off. Which was the first part, of episode 24.

So, as it currently stood, me and Misaka, who at the moment, who was still holding Febrie, were currently looking at quite a lot of charging unpiloted mechs. However, this wasn't going to be the case for much longer.

And, upon Misaka setting Febrie down for the moment, and Misaka, then briefly turning her attention to me. To which she then, gave a sort of nod, that I returned a split second later. We then, prepared ourselves, for the fight, against Aritomi, and his mechs.

"Misaka, why don't I have you take the lead for the current moment?" I said, with a very heartwarming smile on my face, as electricity, was currently still crackling, through the bangs of my hair. And, upon me having it flow through to my right hand, which wound up conjuring up a bit of iron sand. Which I then used, to form a razor sharp iron sand composed sword. Which was similar to the one, that Misaka had conjured up, during her fight against Touma, down by the riverbank.

However, the difference with my iron sand composed sword. Was that it suspiciously resembled a sword, that was currently in the possession, of a certain light blue haired love angel. One, who would wind up coming up with a plan, that would wind up going down, as the most elaborate, but actually quite simple plan, in anime history.

And, upon Misaka, now using her electricity, to conjure up an iron sand composed sword of her own. We then, proceeded to use our respective iron sand swords, to cut the currently charging mechs to pieces.

"Hey viewers...Keiko here...Yes, I know, not the most ideal time to be breaking the fourth wall on all of you...but you are all probably wondering..."

"Keiko!...Not right now!...Save it until after the battle!...*Misaka suddenly winds up saying this to me, with a somewhat less then pleased looking expression on her face*"

"Okay fine Misaka...you're no fun...*I say this, while letting out a very audible, and defeated sounding sigh. Which suddenly wound up changing into a very cute looking pout*...Now then viewers...back to the fight."

And so, putting the fourth wall breaks aside, at least for the moment. I then, wound up seeing a series of images, then suddenly flash across my vision.

The first one, was of one of the previous vision like images, that I had seen before. Which was Misaka, glowing a very bright blue, and her body, currently looking very unstable. And me and her, were currently in a somewhat open area, that seemed to be in ruin.

But, the next few images, were ones that I hadn't been shown yet. As one of them, was me, currently on the ground, slamming one of my fists into the ground, with a very upset looking expression on my face. And to make it just that much worse, what I was saying, was what wound up slightly flooring me.

"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.

And upon seeing this happen, I wound up stopping dead in my tracks, with my iron sand composed sword, suddenly, and completely disintegrating. And it was, while tears of my own, then suddenly started streaming down my cheeks. Almost as if I knew, that what was going to happen, in the not too distant future. And depending on how it played out, would wind up, making the sheer difference, between life, and death.

"Hey viewers...Keiko here again...*I say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers, before bringing my attention back up again. To which I then proceed, to smile with both eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a cute manner. To which I then open my brown eyes again, in order to continue, to properly address the viewers*...So viewers...this now marks the end of the second part of this episode...But fret not viewers...as we will be getting right back into the action, in the next part...So, I will be seeing all of you lot there, okay?....*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"

Chapter 71: Aritomi's Last Resort!: Keiko And Misaka Vs. STUDY! (Part 3)

"Hello there viewers, Keiko here...*I say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers, before bringing my attention back up again.

To which I then open my brown eyes again, in order to continue, to properly address the viewers*...Anyways viewers...we will now be heading, into what is the third part of this episode...But first viewers...let us now, quickly recap the previous chapter...shall we?....*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"

And, as for the chapter recap in question...

Which was, as it currently stood, me and Misaka, who at the moment, who was still holding Febrie, were currently looking at quite a lot of charging unpiloted mechs. However, this wasn't going to be the case for much longer.

And depending on how it played out, would wind up, making the sheer difference, between life, and death.

And now, with the recap of the previous chapter, now done and over with. We will now, be picking right up, back where we had left off. Which was the second part, of episode 24.

Okay, so given my current situation, which was me, still with tears, streaming down my face from the last chapter.

And, given my currently dire situation, what with several of the mechs, charging towards me. It looked as though, it was curtains for me. But thankfully...

"Keiko, you need to be more attentive!" An all too familiar sounding female voice said from behind me, as several familiar pin darts, then whizzed forward in front of my vision, and then impacted several of the mechs, and in turn wound up completely immobilizing them. To which they exploded about a split second after they had been immobilized.

But, it wasn't the pin darts, that wound up snapping me out of my tear streaming stupor. In fact, it was the whooshing popping like sound, that usually occurred, when Kuroko Shirai teleported into, and out of my vicinity.

"Oh r-right, my bad Kuroko, I will try..." I said, only to be cutoff mid statement, as several more images, now wound up flashing across my vision.

And these, like most of my last vision like images, were also ones that I hadn't seen before.

The first, was of a curvature of the Earth. Which was then followed, by a very large looking satellite. But, before I could say anything, I heard a disembodied voice, then call out to me. "It's Aritomi’s last resort in case you were wondering..." The disembodied voice, wound up calling out to me with just a hint of sass.

"Who are you?! Show yourself!" I wound up yelling out into the vision.

"Really, is that how you talk to someone, who has been helping you out?" The disembodied voice wound saying back to me in response. Only this time, with even more sass in its tone.

"What are you talking about?" I now wound up responding back to the voice, now with quite a bit of surprise and shock in my tone.

"Look Keiko, if I were you, then I would be more concerned in having you and Misaka, using your railguns, to destroy Aritomi’s last resort. Because if you both don't, then neither of you, are going to have a world anymore. And it won't just be you, who winds up paying for it in the end." The disembodied voice, then wound up saying to me in response, while hinting at the fact, that whoever they were, they knew about the Four Aces Alliance, as well as the other versions of myself.

But, before I could attempt to speak up, the disembodied voice, then wound up answering my lingering question, even though I hadn't asked it yet.

"And yes Keiko, I know all about the other versions of yourself, and the rest of your alliance," the disembodied voice then responded with.

And not surprisingly...

"Hold on a sec, did you just read my mind?!...What?!...Just who the heck are you?!" I now wound up saying in response, with a now very pissed off looking expression, on my face.

"You will learn about who I am in due time Keiko. But for now, you, Misaka, and Kuroko, have Aritomi’s last resort to destroy," the disembodied voice, now wound up saying to me in response.

And, all of the sudden, the vision around me, then got bright, and before I knew it, I was back in the current situation.

And, not wanting to waste another second, I then chose to speak up to Kuroko and Misaka, in an effort, to tell them, my new idea of attack.

"Kuroko, Misaka, we need to act fast. But for now, we take this fight, to the sky!" I said, while giving off a very whimsical looking expression. Which not surprisingly, caused very confused expressions, to suddenly make their way, across both of Kuroko and Misaka's faces.

And given my current tone of voice, I couldn't say that I was surprised. Given the current situation, and the fact that it was not the best time, to be saying something like this, in my current tone.

"Hey viewers...Keiko here again...*I say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers, before bringing my attention back up again. To which I then proceed, to smile with both eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a cute manner. To which I then open my brown eyes again, in order to continue, to properly address the viewers*...So viewers...this now marks the end of the third part of this episode...But fret not viewers...as we will be getting right back into the action, in the next part...Which, will wind up being the final part, of episode 24...And yes viewers...I am well aware, that I said that this was going to be six parts...Well, it is going to be four parts instead...So then viewers, I will be seeing all of you lot there then...okay?....*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"

Chapter 72: Lock, Stock, And Two Smoking Railguns!: Keiko And Misaka Vs. Study! (Part 4)

"Hello there viewers, Keiko here...*I say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers, before bringing my attention back up again.

And, as for the chapter recap in question...

Which, given my current situation, which was me, still with tears, streaming down my face from the last chapter.

And, given my currently dire situation, what with several of the mechs, charging towards me. It looked as though, it was curtains for me. But thankfully...

And, not wanting to waste another second, I then chose to speak up to Kuroko and Misaka, in an effort, to tell them, my new idea of attack.

And now, with the recap of the previous chapter, now done and over with. We will now, be picking right up, back where we had left off. Which was the third part, of episode 24.

Okay, so maybe I shouldn't have said my statement to Kuroko and Misaka I'm the whimsical like manner that I had said it in. But, given what I was about to suggest regarding my plan, it actually wound up softening the blow so too speak. Well, when I mean soften the blow…

"You realize what you're saying and suggesting right? You expect us to somehow get to space, and take down a missile?" Kuroko said to me, after I had wound up telling her and Misaka, what I had just witnessed from my visions.

But thankfully, Misaka was quick to answer, in an effort, to clear up what exactly I was suggesting.

"I think what Keiko is trying to say here Kuroko, is that we need you to teleport us there," Misaka said in response, to basically let Kuroko know, that I order for us to get to where Aritomi's last resort was, we would need her help.

"Hey viewers…Keiko here…and before you all ask how we are going to breath up in space…Let me remind you, that this is an anime…as in, most of the rules in the real world…don't exactly apply to something like this…Now then, back to the story."

So, fourth wall break aside, at leas for the moment. There was now the glaring issue of how me and Misaka were going to destroy Aritomi's last resort, with our railguns. What would've been helpful, was if the disembodied voice from my visions, had been just a bit more specific and clear, on how we're both supposed to do that.

But thankfully, this lingering question of mine was suddenly answered...

"Well, given that it is a missile of sorts, then might I suggest that you use Ekaterina II S?" The unmistakable voice of one Mitsuko Kongo, suddenly chimed in with saying, as her voice, suddenly wound up blaring through the loudspeakers of the stadium, that we were all currently in.

Now, what Kongo meant by that, was a large mech, that had been designed by her father. And she had apparently, had named it after her boa constrictor, of the same name.

And as for Aritomi? Well, apparently we wouldn't be able to get anywhere near the missile in question, without Aritomi activating it. And so, with this in mind, me and Misaka, then decided to confront Aritomi, so that he could activate it, and would thus, allow us to locate it, and then destroy it.

But apparently, Aritomi seemed to have planned, that something like this would wind up happening, and sure enough, as one of the stadiums big screens, lit up with his face on it. He apparently, hadn't exactly been listening, to what I had said.

"Oh, well look what the cat dragged in! So Lucky Strike...Railgun? What makes you think, that you are going to be able to get anywhere near me?" Aritomi said from the screen in question, with quite a bit of arrogance in his tone.

Which pretty much compounded the fact, that he hadn't quite heard, of what either myself, or Kongo had said. And although it had me breath a sort of sigh of relief. My demeanor however, was about to change.

"Oh, and I have a surprise for the both of you! Let me introduce you, to three of my most prized mechs! You remember 'number four' don't you?!" Aritomi said, as three very large white colored mechs, suddenly appeared. And given Aritomi's slight hinting, at a certain 4th ranked level 5 Espers epithet. I then, couldn't help, but give off a very noticeable smirk, which was quickly followed, by me starting to giggle slightly.

"What's so funny?!" Aritomi wound up angrily asking me.

"Oh nothing, it's just that, given what you just said. And speaking of 'number four...'" I said, while still maintaining my smirk.

And not surprisingly, as if to confirm what I had just said. Out of nowhere, several familiar green lasers, suddenly wound up striking all three of the mechs, and destroyed them all instantly.

"Ah Meltdowner, right on time," I said, while still maintaining my smirk.

And now, with the sudden appearance of Mugino, along with the rest of ITEM. I then, with now knowing, that things regarding the mechs were now covered. Me and Misaka, then made our way, towards Aritomi, who at the moment, was in his control room.

And, upon happening upon Aritomi inside of the control...

"Stay back, both of you!" Aritomi said, who at the moment, had a gun pointed at his own head.

"Or what Aritomi? What are you going to do? Use your so called 'last resort' in a desperate attempt to wipe all Espers off of the Earth? And yes Aritomi, we know all about your AIM Bomb," I said to Aritomi in response, as I now knew, exactly what Aritomi's 'last resort' was. Well not exactly, more like, I took a sort of guess, from what I had read at some point in the Tokiwadai Middle School library, regarding an AIM Bomb, as well as what it was, and what it looked like.

Which believe it or not, very much had resembled, the satellite, that I had been shown in my visions.

And apparently...

"Well then Keiko, how about I just show you all, just how powerful an AIM Bomb truly is!" Aritomi suddenly said, as he then pressed a random button, that had been on a control panel in front of him.

And upon me having seen him do this...

"Why thank you Aritomi. You just saved us the trouble, of having to locate it. So like I said Aritomi, you will now wind up paying, for the harm that you caused to my sister. And, I will see to it, that Anti-Skill, winds up giving you a nice cozy cell, one that has a window view, and nice pillow!" I said to Aritomi, who at the moment, was now starting to lose more of his composure.

"Damn you! How dare you make a mockery out of me!" Aritomi said, as he suddenly wound up turning the gun on me.

"Oh, so about that gun of yours Aritomi...." I began to say, only for my statement, to be cut short. As an all too familiar looking pin dart, suddenly whizzed in front of my vision, impacted Aritomi's gun straight down its barrel, and thus rendered it useless. And, made Aritomi, drop the gun to the floor, in a fit of complete shock.

"Ah Kuroko, right on time. I see that you..." I began to say.

"Keiko, save the talking for after we have destroyed the AIM Bomb!" Misaka suddenly wound up saying to me in response.

But, before I could attempt to talk back, in an attempt to make Misaka aware, that Aritomi was still a bit of a threat. This was then confirmed to no longer be the case, as a certain familiar looking attack, then wound up whizzing by Aritomi's face, only missing him by a few inches.

And upon seeing Kongo, who then said that she would look after Aritomi, until Anti-Skill, wound up taking him into custody.

I then thanked Kongo, to which me, Kuroko, and Misaka, then ran back out of the stadium, and off to get Ekaterina II S, so that we could use it as a pair of improvised railguns, in order to destroy the AIM Bomb.

And, with all three of us, now on top of the mech in question, and its boosters then activating, to send the three of us upwards towards space. We then, once we had happened upon the device in question, then decided on our next portion of the plan.

But, however, and all three of us stood on top of the mech...

"Kuroko, leave this to the both of us!" I said, as me and Misaka, then prepared, to launch the mech at the currently arming AIM Bomb, as a pair of improvised railguns.

And, not wanting to waste anymore time, Kuroko wound up jumping off of the mech. And once she had done so, me and Misaka, then proceeded, to prepare to launch the mech.

And, upon me envisioning the all too familiar pair of electricity lashed rails, extending out to infinity in my mind. Me and Misaka, then each pulled a fist back, and slammed them into the back of the mech.

And, almost immediately, it sent the mech, propelling towards the AIM Bomb, as the mech, then split in two, as two separate railguns.

And not surprisingly, as me and Misaka started falling back, towards the earths atmosphere. We both, then blacked out, having now exhausted ourselves, due to a bit of fatigue.

But, upon us both falling down towards the earths atmosphere. And given our current condition, we were not able to notice Kuroko, manage to teleport us, back to the ground safely.

And, as Anti-Skill, then arrived, and took Aritomi, and the rest of STUDY, into custody. The fight against STUDY, was finally over.

But, though none of us knew it yet. My visions, were a warning, for what was still too come.

But more on that, at a bit later of a date.

Chapter 73: A Collision At 35,000 Feet, A Collision Over Cerritos, And A Sight Unseen!: A Mid-Air Collision Is Never A Good Thing!

"Hello viewers, Keiko here...*I say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers, before bringing my head, my attention, and my eyesight, back up again, to once again continue to address the viewers*...

Now, remember, when I, several chapters back, wound up doing a chapter, that wasn't action packed viewers, hmm?...*I say this while smiling with both eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a cute manner*...

Now, this chapter, will in fact be, yet another, not action packed chapter...So viewers, like the chapter several chapters back...

And keep in mind viewers, that this is now going to be one of the only other times, that I am going to be giving this sort of permission to all of you in the exact same manner...

As you viewers, as of now, once again, have my absolutely full permission, to skip this chapter...But just know viewers, that once again, if you choose to do so...

You will, like the last chapter in which I wound up giving this exact same permission...You will once again, be missing out on vital information...But don't let that stop you viewers...By all means, do as you please, and take my permission to the letter...But like I have already said, you will wind up missing quite a bit...

Now then, who here, knows what a mid air collision is?...You know, when one airliner, be it commercial, cargo, or military, winds up colliding with another airliner, in mid air?...Yes viewers that is what a mid air collision is...

And while somewhat rare viewers...you will find, that they actually occur, a lot more then you might think...

Now then, we will be covering three of them in this chapter...And now for the first...

On 1 July 2002, BAL Bashkirian Airlines Flight 2937, a Tupolev Tu-154 passenger jet, and DHL International Aviation ME Flight 611, a Boeing 757 cargo jet, collided in mid-air over Überlingen, a southern German town on Lake Constance, near the Swiss border. All of the passengers and crew aboard both planes were killed, resulting in a total death toll of 71.

The official investigation by the German Federal Bureau of Aircraft Accident Investigation...Or in German is...Bundesstelle für Flugunfalluntersuchung -BFU...identified the main cause of the collision, was to be a number of shortcomings on the part of the Swiss air traffic control (ATC)...Which was the service in charge of the sector involved, as well as ambiguities in the procedures regarding the use of the traffic collision avoidance system on board...or TCAS, for short...

And for the record here viewers...at the time of the collision, that took place at 35,000 feet...or Flight Level 350...or FL350...for those who are interested in the aviation converted terms...

Anyway, at the time of the collision over Uberlingen...Flight 2937...which was a Russian Built Tupolev-Tu-154M...was carrying 60 passengers...5 pilots, and 4 flight attendants...for a total, of 69 passengers and crew...

And for those who are going to ask, why there were 5 pilots on board Flight 2937...Well, this was due to it being a sort of assessment flight...

Furthermore, Fight 2937 was on route, from Moscow in Russia, to Barcelona in Spain...

The second aircraft involved in the collision...DHL International Aviation ME Flight 611...was a Boeing 757-23APF...and on board, were only two pilots...bound from its stopover in Bergamo, Italy...and was heading towards Brussels, Belgium...

As for the angle of the collision, between the two aircraft...the DHL 757s vertical stabilizer wound up slicing through the mid section of the Tupolev, which caused it to tear apart...

And, rendered both aircraft completely uncontrollable...

Now then, on to the next mid-air collision...

On Sunday, August 31, 1986, Aeromexico Flight 498...which was a McDonnell Douglas DC-9 operating a flight into Los Angeles LAX...was clipped in the tail section by N4891F...a Piper PA-28-181 Cherokee...and both crashed into the Los Angeles suburb of Cerritos, killing all 64 on the DC-9, all three on the Piper...and an additional 15 people on the ground. Eight on the ground also sustained minor injuries. Blame was assessed equally on the Federal Aviation Administration...or FAA for short...and the pilot of the Cherokee. And, no fault was found with the DC-9 or the actions of its crew.

And for the record here viewers...at the time of the collision...

Aeromexico Flight 498..was carrying 58 passengers...2 pilots, and 4 flight attendants...for a total, of 64 passengers and crew...

Furthermore, Fight 498 was on route, from General Abelardo L. Rodríguez International Airport...in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico...to Los Angeles International Airport...Or LAX for short...in Los Angeles California...

The second aircraft involved in the collision...A Piper Cherokee...had on board, were only two passengers and the pilot...bound from Zamperini Field...in
Torrance, California...to Big Bear City Airport...in
Big Bear Lake, California...

And as for the angle of this collision, between the two aircraft...the Piper Cherokee wound up slamming into Flight 498s tail, which caused the horizontal and vertical stabilizers to detach in flight...And wound up severing the entire canopy of the Piper...

And, like the Uberlingen Mid-Air Collision...wound up rendering both aircraft completely uncontrollable...

Now then, onto the final mid air collision, and this one, is a very bad one...

Moreover, it to this day, still the worlds deadliest mid air collision...

On 12 November 1996, Saudia Flight 763, a Boeing 747 en route from Delhi, India, to Dhahran, Saudi Arabia...and Kazakhstan Airlines Flight 1907, an Ilyushin Il-76 en route from Chimkent, Kazakhstan, to Delhi...collided over the city of Charkhi Dadri...

At the time of the collision...Saudia Flight 763...was carrying 289 passengers...3 pilots...and another 20 crew members...

As for flight 1907...it was carrying 27 passengers...4 pilots...and 6 flight attendants...

And as for the angle of the collision...the left wing of the Kazakh flight sliced through the left wing of the Saudia 747...while the left horizontal stabilizer of the 747...sliced off the vertical stabilizer...including the horizontal stabilizer...of the Kazakh flight....The crippled Saudi Boeing then immediately lost control...and went into a rapidly descending spiral...with fire trailing from the wing...and wound up breaking up in mid air...before crashing into the ground at a nearly supersonic speed of 1,135 km/h...or 613 knots...or 705 mph...

And with most of its left wing and vertical stabilizer now gone...the Ilyushin went into a flat spin and crashed into a field at a flat attitude near the wreckage of the Saudia plane.

And out of all 349 passengers and crew aboard both aircraft...there were no survivors...

Furthermore viewers...I mean absolutely no disrespect, to anyone whose lives were lost in these tragedies...nor do I mean any disrespect, to anyone who lost somebody in these tragedies...

My only goal with this, is to help pay my respect, to those who were killed, and those who lost somebody in these tragedies...

Now then viewers...with this all now done...I will see you all in the next chapter...Which for the record viewers...is going to be another one of these chapters...But don't worry, as we will be getting right back into the action, in the chapter after the next one...okay?...*I say this, while smiling with both eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a cute manner*"

Chapter 74: High Speed Metal Fatigue, General Closure Procedures, And A Rear End Collision At Lewisham!: A Rail Accident Is Never A Good Thing!

"Hello viewers, Keiko here...*I say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers, before bringing my head, my attention, and my eyesight, back up again, to once again continue to address the viewers*...

Now then...here is the next not action packed chapter...*I say this while smiling with both eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a cute manner*...

And keep in mind viewers, that this is now going to be one of the only other times, that I am going to be giving this sort of permission to all of you in the exact same manner...

As you viewers, as of now, once again, have my absolutely full permission, to skip this chapter...But just know viewers, that once again, if you choose to do so...

You will, like the last chapter in which I wound up giving this exact same permission...You will once again, be missing out on vital information...But don't let that stop you viewers...By all means, do as you please, and take my permission to the letter...But like I have already said, you will wind up missing quite a bit...

Now then, who here, has studied rail accidents over their spare time?...

Because like a chapter a bit back in this fanfics...we will be covering three of them...

Now then viewers...here is the first one...

On June 3, 1998...Intercity Express (ICE) #884...Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen...derailed at 125 mph...or 200 kph...in Eschede, Germany...

At the time of the accident...ICE 884...was carrying 287 passengers, and 6 crew members...

And in just three minutes...due to a fatigue crack, in one of the outer flanges, of the trains dual block wheels...in combination with a check rail from a switch that the train had passed over...and the train slamming into the concrete pillars of a road bridge...as it passed through the town of Eschede...

All combined, to lead to the deaths...of 101 people...in what is still the worst high speed accident...in the history of high speed rail travel...

And the worst rail accident...in peacetime German history...

But, as one Christian Wolmar once said...'the railway always learns from its mistakes'...

Well Christian...while that is all fine and good...101 people still wound up dead...all because Deutsche Bahn didn't want to lose money...or any ridership to air travel...

And furthermore, the ICE train, wasn't built at the time, to withstand a crash, at 200 kph...

Which was why when the train jackknifed into the collapsed road bridge...and the rear six carriages and power car...slammed into each other...the carriages broke along their weld lines...which wound up accounting...for most of the 101 deaths...

105 more were injured...and you mean to tell me...that the railroad learns from their mistakes?

That's great...but it is still at the cost of peoples lives...

Now then, onto the next rail accident...

On 27 June 1988, SNCF commuter train 153944...that was inbound to Paris' Gare de Lyon terminal from Melun to the southeast was running its routine 80 km journey, using one of SNCF's electric multiple units...a Class Z 5300...

But as the train neared Paris, and passed through the Le Vert de Maisons station, which was usually a stop on the route...However, SNCF had recently implemented a new summer timetable, which meant train 153944 no longer stopped at the station...

As the train pulled past the platform, a passenger in the second car of the train suddenly stood up, pulled the emergency brake, and left the train...

After working for 26 minutes, the trains crew reset the brakes and continued...

However, this procedure had taken longer than usual, prompting more passengers to leave the train...

And in order to make up the lost time, the station controller at Gare de Lyon...instructed the driver, to skip the next scheduled stop, Maisons-Alfort–Alfortville...and continue direct to Gare de Lyon...

So, after the train passed Maisons-Alfort–Alfortville, it then reached a 4% grade that led to Gare de Lyon. But when it passed a yellow signal instructing the driver to slow the train, in preparation for being switched to an empty platform...

The driver discovered his brakes barely worked. And as the train picked up speed from its descent, the driver desperately radioed an emergency warning...

But, he failed to identify himself to the controller. And to make matters worse, he pressed the general alarm button on his radio, and left his cab to evacuate the passengers to the rear of the train.

Train 153944, now a runaway...wound up crashing into a delayed outbound train, which was in the midst of evacuating its passengers...

The outbound train's driver, bravely remained in his cab to lead the evacuation effort, repeating a warning over his train's intercom numerous times until he was killed in the collision.

In all, 56 people were killed in the head on collision at Gare de Lyon...including the struck trains driver...

And a further 57 more...were injured...

As for the cause of the accident...it was determined to be human error...as the driver and guard of the train bound for Gare de Lyon...had misinterpreted a non-existing airlock in the trains brakes, while it had been stationary at Le Vert de Maisons...

Well, when I say that...I mean that the driver, had accidentally closed the trains main brake pipe lever...while trying to reset the brakes...

And, wound up manually unlocking the brakes...by letting out the air...from seven of the trains eight carriages...

But, with the main brake pipe lever in the closed position...there was no way for new air to get in, to replenish the system...which meant, that the train, had only 1/8 of the braking power that it needed, to safely descend the 4% grade, leading down into Gare de Lyon...

And, when the driver had hit the general alarm...it forced the Gare de Lyons signalers...to issue what is called a General Closure Procedure...

Which involved, turning every signal on the SNCF network, to red...to allow them manual control over the networks switches...

However, in their haste to do so...the procedure...wound up clearing any preprogrammed routing...which had included the preprogrammed route, that would have taken the runaway train, into an empty platform...

Now then viewers...onto the third, and the last incident...

On the evening of 4 December 1957, two trains crashed in dense fog on the South Eastern Main Line near Lewisham in south-east London, causing the deaths of 90 people and injuring 173...

An electric train to Hayes had stopped at a signal under a rail bridge, and the following steam train to Ramsgate...wound up crashing into it... the collision wound up destroying a carriage... and caused the bridge to collapse onto the steam train...

The bridge had to be completely removed...and it was over a week later...before the lines under the bridge were reopened, and another month before the bridge was rebuilt and traffic allowed over it...

And as for the cause...the driver of the Ramsgate train had failed to slow down after passing two caution signals...

And as a result...he was unable to stop at the danger signal...

In what is a SPAD...or a Signal Passed At Danger...

And this had concluded...that the use of an Automatic Warning System would have prevented the collision.

And also, would've prevented the Harrow and Wealdstone rail crash...which had happened 5 years before the crash in Lewisham...

Not then viewers...this now marks the end, of this filler chapter...And more importantly viewers...we will be getting right back into the story, in the next chapter...Which for those non Toaru fans...will be the first episode of Railgun Season 3...or Railgun S...

So then viewers...I will see all of you lot there...okay?...*I say this, while smiling with both eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a cute manner*"

Chapter 75: 1, 2, 3, And 4, The Devil's Knocking At You Door!: Waving Flags And Throwing Fists! (Part 1)

"Hello viewers...Keiko here...*I say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers, before bringing my attention back up again. To which I then proceed, to smile with both eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a cute manner. To which I then open my brown eyes again, in order to continue, to properly address the viewers*...Anyways viewers...we will now be heading, into what is episode one of Railgun season T…or season 3…But first viewers...let us now, quickly recap the previous chapters of the last episode...shall we?....*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"

And, here is the recap of the previous episode in question...

And, as it currently stood, we were all currently at the several areas that housed the 20,000 mechs. And as for me and Misaka? Well...

"You know, I never would've guessed, that this was going to wind up being our plan of attack...But seeing as how we have Judgment having our back this time...Even without Anti-Skill...I feel as though we have this battle with STUDY already won...Which by the way viewers...is an inference, and not a confirmed correct guess...Now then viewers...what do you say, that you just sit, back, and enjoy reading the following chapters, of STUDY, getting what they truly deserve?...A proper thrashing!" I thought to myself, while me, Misaka, and Febrie, were bounding from building rooftop to building rooftop, on our way to the Reach Assembly area. And, I was still able during this, to briefly turn my attention to the right, of me, to briefly address the viewers.

And, upon me and Misaka getting to our intended destination, which was the main Reach Assembly area. I then decided, to make our presence known.

"Knock knock Aritomi, anyone home? I hope you're ready to answer for the harm that you caused to my sister. Because I am going to take a bit of pleasure, in making you pay for having done that!" I wound up saying, with a witty looking smirk present on my face, that would make even Heath Ledger's Joker giddy.

And, upon Aritomi, commanding the mechs on site, to take us out, so to speak. I then, couldn't help, but let out a big sort of sigh.

However, before I could speak up again, Misaka decided to do so instead.

"Keiko, I would save the rest of your witty banter, for during the fight," Misaka wound up saying to me, as she turned to me, with a sort of knowing smile, present on her face. And this, was while she was still holding Febrie.

"Oh, right Misaka...I wouldn't be willing to do anything less..."

So, as it currently stood, me and Misaka, who at the moment, who was still holding Febrie, were currently looking at quite a lot of charging unpiloted mechs. However, this wasn't going to be the case for much longer.

And, upon Misaka setting Febrie down for the moment, and Misaka, then briefly turning her attention to me. To which she then gave a sort of nod, that I returned a split second later. We then, prepared ourselves, for the fight, against Aritomi, and his mechs.

"Misaka, why don't I have you take the lead for the current moment?" I said, with a very heartwarming smile on my face, as electricity, was currently still crackling, through the bangs of my hair. And, upon me having it flow through to my right hand, which wound up conjuring up a bit of iron sand. Which I then used, to form a razor sharp iron sand composed sword. Which was similar to the one, that Misaka had conjured up, during her fight against Touma, down by the riverbank.

However, the difference with my iron sand composed sword. Was that it suspiciously resembled a sword, that was currently in the possession, of a certain light blue haired love angel. One who would wind up coming up with a plan, that would wind up going down, as the most elaborate, but actually quite simple plan, in anime history.

And, upon Misaka, now using her electricity, to conjure up an iron sand composed sword of her own. We then, proceeded to use our respective iron sand swords, to cut the currently charging mechs to pieces.

"Hey viewers...Keiko here...Yes, I know, not the most ideal time to be breaking the fourth wall on all of you...but you are all probably wondering..."

"Keiko!...Not right now!...Save it until after the battle!...*Misaka suddenly winds up saying this to me, with a somewhat less then pleased looking expression on her face*"

"Okay fine Misaka...you're no fun...*I say this, while letting out a very audible, and defeated sounding sigh. Which suddenly wound up changing into a very cute looking pout*...Now then viewers...back to the fight."

And so, putting the fourth wall breaks aside, at least for the moment. I then, wound up seeing a series of images, then suddenly flash across my vision.

The first one, was of one of the previous vision like images, that I had seen before. Which was Misaka, glowing a very bright blue, and her body, currently looking very unstable. And me and her, were currently in a somewhat open area, that seemed to be in ruin.

But, the next few images, were ones that I hadn't been shown yet. As one of them, was me, currently on the ground, slamming one of my fists into the ground, with a very upset looking expression on my face. And to make it just that much worse, what I was saying, was what wound up slightly flooring me.

"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.

And upon seeing this happen, I wound up stopping dead in my tracks, with my iron sand composed sword, now completely disintegrating. And it was, while tears of my own, then suddenly started streaming down my cheeks. Almost as if I knew, that what was going to happen, in the not too distant future. And depending on how it played out, would wind up, making the sheer difference, between life, and death.

Okay, so given my current situation, which was me, still with tears, streaming down my face from the last chapter.

And, given my currently dire situation, what with several of the mechs, charging towards me. It looked as though, it was curtains for me. But thankfully...

"Keiko, you need to be more attentive!" An all too familiar sounding female voice said from behind me, as several familiar pin darts, then whizzed forward in front of my vision, and then impacted several of the mechs, and in turn wound up completely immobilizing them. To which they exploded about a split second after they had been immobilized.

But, it wasn't the pin darts, that wound up snapping me out of my tear streaming stupor. In fact, it was the whooshing popping like sound, that usually occurred, when Kuroko Shirai teleported into, and out of my vicinity.

"Oh r-right, my bad Kuroko, I will try..." I said, only to be cutoff mid statement, as several more images, now wound up flashing across my vision.

And these, like most of my last vision like images, were also ones that I hadn't seen before.

The first, was of a curvature of the Earth. Which was then followed, by a very large looking satellite. But, before I could say anything, I heard a disembodied voice, then call out to me. "It's Aritomi's last resort in case you were wondering..." The disembodied voice, wound up calling out to me with just a hint of sass.

"Who are you?! Show yourself!" I wound up yelling out into the vision.

"Really, is that how you talk to someone, who has been helping you out?" The disembodied voice wound saying back to me in response. Only this time, with even more sass in its tone.

"What are you talking about?" I now wound up responding back to the voice, now with quite a bit of surprise and shock in my tone.

"Look Keiko, if I were you, then I would be more concerned in having you and Misaka, using your railguns, to destroy Aritomi's last resort. Because if you both don't, then neither of you, are going to have a world anymore. And it won't just be you, who winds up paying for it in the end." The disembodied voice, then wound up saying to me in response, while hinting at the fact, that whoever they were, they knew about the Four Aces Alliance, as well as the other versions of myself.

But, before I could attempt to speak up, the disembodied voice, then wound up answering my lingering question, even though I hadn't asked it yet.

"And yes Keiko, I know all about the other versions of yourself, and the rest of your alliance," the disembodied voice then responded with.

And not surprisingly...

"Hold on a sec, did you just read my mind?!...What?!...Just who the heck are you?!" I now wound up saying in response, with a now very pissed off looking expression, on my face.

"You will learn about who I am in due time Keiko. But for now, you, Misaka, and Kuroko, have Tree Diagram to destroy," the disembodied voice, now wound up saying to me in response.

And, all of the sudden, the vision around me, then got bright, and before I knew it, I was back in the current situation.

And, not wanting to waste another second, I then chose to speak up to Kuroko and Misaka, in an effort, to tell them, my new idea of attack.

"Kuroko, Misaka, we need to act fast. But for now, we take this fight, to the sky!" I said, while giving off a very whimsical looking expression. Which not surprisingly, caused very confused expressions, to suddenly make their way, across both of Kuroko and Misaka's faces.

And given my current tone of voice, I couldn't say that I was surprised. Given the current situation, and the fact that it was not the best time, to be saying something like this, in my current tone.

Okay, so maybe I shouldn't have said my statement to Kuroko and Misaka I'm the whimsical like manner that I had said it in. But, given what I was about to suggest regarding my plan, it actually wound up softening the blow so too speak. Well, when I mean soften the blow…

"You realize what you're saying and suggesting right? You expect us to somehow get to space, and take down a missile?" Kuroko said to me, after I had wound up telling her and Misaka, what I had just witnessed from my visions.

But thankfully, Misaka was quick to answer, in an effort, to clear up what exactly I was suggesting.

"I think what Keiko is trying to say here Kuroko, is that we need you to teleport us there," Misaka said in response, to basically let Kuroko know, that I order for us to get to where Aritomi's last resort was, we would need her help.

"Hey viewers…Keiko here…and before you all ask how we are going to breath up in space…Let me remind you, that this is an anime…as in, most of the rules in the real world…don't exactly apply to something like this…Now then, back to the story."

So, fourth wall break aside, at leas for the moment. There was now the glaring issue of how me and Misaka were going to destroy Aritomi's last resort, with our railguns. What would've been helpful, was if the disembodied voice from my visions, had been just a bit more specific and clear, on how we're both supposed to do that.

But thankfully, this lingering question of mine was suddenly answered...

"Well, given that it is a missile of sorts, then might I suggest that you use Ekaterina II S?" The unmistakable voice of one Mitsuko Kongo, suddenly chimed in with saying, as her voice, suddenly wound up blaring through the loudspeakers of the stadium, that we were all currently in.

Now, what Kongo meant by that, was a large mech, that had been designed by her father. And she had apparently, had named it after her boa constrictor, of the same name.

And as for Aritomi? Well, apparently we wouldn't be able to get anywhere near the missile in question, without Aritomi activating it. And so, with this in mind, me and Misaka, then decided to confront Aritomi, so that he could activate it, and would thus, allow us to locate it, and then destroy it.

But apparently, Aritomi seemed to have planned, that something like this would wind up happening, and sure enough, as one of the stadiums big screens, lit up with his face on it. He apparently, hadn't exactly been listening, to what I had said.

"Oh, well look what the cat dragged in! So Lucky Strike...Railgun? What makes you think, that you are going to be able to get anywhere near me?" Aritomi said from the screen in question, with quite a bit of arrogance in his tone.

Which pretty much compounded the fact, that he hadn't quite heard, of what either myself, or Kongo had said. And although it had me breath a sort of sigh of relief. My demeanor however, was about to change.

"Oh, and I have a surprise for the both of you! Let me introduce you, to three of my most prized mechs! You remember 'number four' don't you?!" Aritomi said, as three very large white colored mechs, suddenly appeared. And given Aritomi's slight hinting, at a certain 4th ranked level 5 Espers epithet. I then, couldn't help, but give off a very noticeable smirk, which was quickly followed, by me starting to giggle slightly.

"What's so funny?!" Aritomi wound up angrily asking me.

"Oh nothing, it's just that, given what you just said. And speaking of 'number four...'" I said, while still maintaining my smirk.

And not surprisingly, as if to confirm what I had just said. Out of nowhere, several familiar green lasers, suddenly wound up striking all three of the mechs, and destroyed them all instantly.

"Ah Meltdowner, right on time," I said, while still maintaining my smirk.

And now, with the sudden appearance of Mugino, along with the rest of ITEM. I then, with now knowing, that things regarding the mechs were now covered. Me and Misaka, then made our way, towards Aritomi, who at the moment, was in his control room.

And, upon happening upon Aritomi inside of the control...

"Stay back, both of you!" Aritomi said, who at the moment, had a gun pointed at his own head.

"Or what Aritomi? What are you going to do? Use your so called 'last resort' in a desperate attempt to wipe all Espers off of the Earth? And yes Aritomi, we know all about your AIM Bomb," I said to Aritomi in response, as I now knew, exactly what Aritomi's 'last resort' was. Well not exactly, more like, I took a sort of guess, from what I had read at some point in the Tokiwadai Middle School library, regarding an AIM Bomb, as well as what it was, and what it looked like.

Which believe it or not, very much had resembled, the satellite, that I had been shown in my visions.

And apparently...

"Well then Keiko, how about I just show you all, just how powerful an AIM Bomb truly is!" Aritomi suddenly said, as he then pressed a random button, that had been on a control panel in front of him.

And upon me having seen him do this...

"Why thank you Aritomi. You just saved us the trouble, of having to locate it. So like I said Aritomi, you will now wind up paying, for the harm that you caused to my sister. And, I will see to it, that Anti-Skill, winds up giving you a nice cozy cell, one that has a window view, and nice pillow!" I said to Aritomi, who at the moment, was now starting to lose more of his composure.

"Damn you! How dare you make a mockery out of me!" Aritomi said, as he suddenly wound up turning the gun on me.

"Oh, so about that gun of yours Aritomi...." I began to say, only for my statement, to be cut short. As an all too familiar looking pin dart, suddenly whizzed in front of my vision, impacted Aritomi's gun straight down its barrel, and thus rendered it useless. And, made Aritomi, drop the gun to the floor, in a fit of complete shock.

"Ah Kuroko, right on time. I see that you..." I began to say.

"Keiko, save the talking for after we have destroyed the AIM Bomb!" Misaka suddenly wound up saying to me in response.

But, before I could attempt to talk back, in an attempt to make Misaka aware, that Aritomi was still a bit of a threat. This was then confirmed to no longer be the case, as a certain familiar looking attack, then wound up whizzing by Aritomi's face, only missing him by a few inches.

And upon seeing Kongo, who then said that she would look after Aritomi, until Anti-Skill, wound up taking him into custody.

I then thanked Kongo, to which me, Kuroko, and Misaka, then ran back out of the stadium, and off to get Ekaterina II S, so that we could use it as a pair of improvised railguns, in order to destroy the AIM Bomb.

And, with all three of us, now on top of the mech in question, and its boosters then activating, to send the three of us upwards towards space. We then, once we had happened upon the device in question, then decided on our next portion of the plan.

But, however, and all three of us stood on top of the mech...

"Kuroko, leave this to the both of us!" I said, as me and Misaka, then prepared, to launch the mech at the currently arming AIM Bomb, as a pair of improvised railguns.

And, not wanting to waste anymore time, Kuroko wound up jumping off of the mech. And once she had done so, me and Misaka, then proceeded, to prepare to launch the mech.

And, upon me envisioning the all too familiar pair of electricity lashed rails, extending out to infinity in my mind. Me and Misaka, then each pulled a fist back, and slammed them into the back of the mech.

And, almost immediately, it sent the mech, propelling towards the AIM Bomb, as the mech, then split in two, as two separate railguns.

And not surprisingly, as me and Misaka started falling back, towards the earths atmosphere. We both, then blacked out, having now exhausted ourselves, due to a bit of fatigue.

But, upon us both falling down towards the earths atmosphere. And given our current condition, we were not able to notice Kuroko, manage to teleport us, back to the ground safely.

And, as Anti-Skill, then arrived, and took Aritomi, and the rest of STUDY, into custody. The fight against STUDY, was finally over.

But, though none of us knew it yet. My visions, were a warning, for what was still too come.

But more on that, at a bit later of a date.

And now, with the recap of the previous chapter, now done and over with. We will now, be heading into, the first part, of episode 1, of Railgun T. Or, Railgun Season 3, if you want to be more specific.

Date: September 18, 2009

"Hello viewers...Keiko here...*I say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers, before bringing my attention back up again. To which I then proceed, to smile with both eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a cute manner. To which I then open my brown eyes again, in order to continue, to properly address the viewers*...Now I know what you are all probably wondering...why is the above date September 18?...Well, I believe it was one Shinko Hanasaki...who said it best herself in chapter 4 of Going In Completely Blind...time in the anime...moves a bit slower...then one would think...I mean after all viewers...2 weeks have passed since the end of our fight against STUDY...but, if you take a closer look at the date...you will notice, that it is just days...before a certain event, in the other two fics, that are connected to this one...Yes viewers...we are now just two days away...from our next encounter...with the rest of The Four Aces Alliance...And rest assured viewers...you're going to love, what is going to take place during it...I mean after all viewers...they don't call them The 90s Magical Girl Trinity for no reason...*I proceed to smile just a bit more*...Now then viewers...on with the chapter...*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"

Okay, so at the current moment, me and Misaka, were currently standing side by side. Each of us, just having fired a railgun each, in an effort, to intercept a falling beam, from a stage in front of us, from crushing Uiharu and Saten...

"But viewers...Hello, Keiko here again...Anyway, we seem to be getting a bit ahead here...so, lets wind things back a bit to just before this...shall we?...*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"

Okay, so winding back to just a couple of minutes before this, and given the current setting. Me and Misaka were getting prepared, for the upcoming Daihasei Festival. But, given the vision images, that had been shown to me of Misaka in an unstable state not too long ago.

I had managed to convince Misaka, to have me do the events in her place. Since I had absolutely not idea, what to expect regarding what was shown in the visions. So, I wanted to make sure that Misaka was up to her usual high standard, should we need to protect each other or defend ourselves, at a moments notice.

But, though I did not know it at the time, this decision I had made, to take Misaka's place, would wind up benefiting us both, in the long run.

But, despite this, since we were both sisters, and both had amounted a sterling reputation each. This allowed Misaka, to be able to alternate with me, so that I didn’t wind up overexerting myself.

But, now moving forward to the current situation. Well, a bit before it...

"Okay...moving bit fast here hmm Misaka?" I thought to myself, as we both wound up leaping forward off of the side of a nearby building, having used our electricity, to cling to it.

And, upon getting to just in front of the stage, just as the steel beam was falling. Misaka pulled out an arcade coin, while I pulled out one of my own. And, in a split second, as both coins flipped through the air, and had rested between our respective two fingers. We fired, each producing our respective railguns. Only I had fired mine, just after Misaka had fired hers.

And the benefit of this, was that Misaka's railgun, wound up knocking the beam sharply upwards. While my railgun, which was aimed a bit higher then hers, wound up sending the steel beam laterally. By hitting it underneath, and sending it spinning back behind us.

And, as the beam came crashing to the ground with a massive crashing bang...

"Is that?...yes, it is the Electromaster sisters...Lucky Strike and Railgun...!" The voice of somebody then said from the crowd.

And this wound up with me blushing slightly, since I wasn't expecting this sort of praise, from a random stranger.

"Okay...so that was unexpected...I never knew that me and Misaka...had developed such a reputation in such a short amount of time..." I thought to myself, which while I was still slightly blushing, managed to give off a sort of small smile.

"Hey Keiko?" The voice of Misaka then spoke up with saying, which snapped me out of my stupor.

"Yes Misaka?" I asked her in response.

"You're blushing," Misaka wound up saying to me, with a sort of tone in her voice, to sort of let me know, that this was not the best time to be blushing the way that I was.

"Oh r-right," I said in response, with a sort of somewhat embarrassed tone in my voice. To which I then stopped blushing, and a stoic demeanor, then returned to my face.

"Hey viewers...Keiko here again...*I say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers, before bringing my attention back up again. To which I then proceed, to smile with both eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a cute manner. To which I then open my brown eyes again, in order to continue, to properly address the viewers*...So viewers...this now marks the end of the first part of this episode...But, will be getting right back into the action, in the next part...Which, will wind up being the second part, of Railgun T episode 1...And viewers?...Regarding the number of parts, that this episode is going to have...Well, in a sort of change of pace, I am not going to tell you...*I say this while smiling slightly*...This should entice you all enough, to want to anticipate each chapter...So then viewers, I will be seeing all of you lot in the next chapter...okay?....*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"

Chapter 76: 1, 2, 3, And 4, The Devil's Knocking At You Door!: Waving Flags And Throwing Fists! (Part 2)

"Hello viewers...Keiko here...*I say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers, before bringing my attention back up again. To which I then proceed, to smile with both eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a cute manner. To which I then open my brown eyes again, in order to continue, to properly address the viewers*...Anyways viewers...we will now be heading, into what is the second part, of episode one of Railgun season T…or season 3…But first viewers...let us now, quickly recap the previous chapter...shall we?....*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"

And, here is the recap of the previous chapter in question...

Okay, so at the current moment, me and Misaka, were currently standing side by side. Each of us, just having fired a railgun each, in an effort, to intercept a falling beam, from a stage in front of us, from crushing Uiharu and Saten...

"But viewers...Hello, Keiko here again...Anyway, we seem to be getting a bit ahead here...so, lets wind things back a bit to just before this...shall we?...*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"

Okay, so winding back to just a couple of minutes before this, and given the current setting. Me and Misaka were getting prepared, for the upcoming Daihasei Festival. But, given the vision images, that had been shown to me of Misaka in an unstable state not too long ago.

I had managed to convince Misaka, to have me do the events in her place. Since I had absolutely not idea, what to expect regarding what was shown in the visions. So, I wanted to make sure that Misaka was up to her usual high standard, should we need to protect each other or defend ourselves, at a moments notice.

But, though I did not know it at the time, this decision I had made, to take Misaka's place, would wind up benefiting us both, in the long run.

But, now moving forward to the current situation. Well, a bit before it...

"Okay...moving bit fast here hmm Misaka?" I thought to myself, as we both wound up leaping forward off of the side of a nearby building, having used our electricity, to cling to it.

And, upon getting to just in front of the stage, just as the beam was falling. Misaka pulled out an arcade coin, while I pulled out one of my own. And, in a split second, as both coins flipped through the air, and had rested between our respective two fingers. We fired, each producing our respective railguns. Only I had fired mine, just after Misaka had fired hers.

And the benefit of this, was that Misaka's railgun, wound up knocking the beam sharply upwards. While my railgun, which was aimed a bit higher then hers was wound up sending the steel beam laterally. By hitting it underneath, and sending it spinning back behind us.

And, as the beam came crashing to the ground with a massive crashing bang...

"Is that?...Yes, it is the Electromaster sisters...Lucky Strike and Railgun!..." The voice of somebody then said from the crowd.

And this wound up with me blushing slightly, since I wasn't expecting this sort of praise, from a sort of random stranger.

"Okay...so that was unexpected...I never knew that me and Misaka...had developed such a reputation in such a short amount of time..." I thought to myself, which while I was still slightly blushing, managed to give off a sort of small smile.

"Hey Keiko?" The voice of Misaka then spoke up with saying, which snapped me out of my stupor.

"Yes Misaka?" I asked her in response.

"You're blushing," Misaka wound up saying to me, with a sort of tone in her voice, to sort of let me know, that this was not the best time to be blushing the way that I was.

"Oh r-right," I said in response, with a sort of somewhat embarrassed tone in my voice. To which I then stopped blushing, and a stoic demeanor, then returned to my face.

And now, with the recap of the previous chapter, now done and over with. We will now, be heading into, the second part, of episode 1, of Railgun T. Or, Railgun Season 3, if you want to be more specific.

Date: September 18, 2009

Okay, so as me and Misaka, were currently still standing side by side, having just save Uiharu and Saten from certain injury. I then took note, of someone who was currently present at the area where me and Misaka were currently at. And the reason as to why he stood out? Well...

"Okay...so he appears to have a white headband on...like some sort of Naruto sort of cosplay...mind you viewers...I am well aware that the ninja headband from the Naruto anime...is not that color in any sort of form or fashion...Also, he seems to be wearing his red jacket on his shoulders...like Atem did from the Yugioh anime when he went against Strings The Quiet One...while he was being controlled by Marik Ishtar...But like Shinko said herself in her respective fanfic perspective...that is not any of our concern...and nor is it a priority of ours either...as it is the priority of one Edwin Chaos from the fanfic 'The Chaos Effect'...and by the way Mr. Chaos...you're welcome for yet another fanfiction recommendation to my viewers...Not then viewers...back to the story," I thought to myself. To which during my thought, I had briefly turned my attention, and my eyesight slightly to the left of me, to briefly address the viewers.

"Hello there viewers...Yes Keiko here...*I say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers. Before I then bring my attention back up again, and then smile with both eyes closed, and my head tilted to one side in a cute manner. Before I once again open my brown eyes, in order to continue to address the viewers*...Now then viewers...this now marks the end of the second part of episode 1...Yes I know viewers...not a lot of new stuff has happened in this chapter...But you have to remember viewers...that this is the sort of enticing cliffhanger...that is going to have you all anticipate the next chapter...I mean after all viewers...it does do that to all of you...doesn't it?...Then I would say that these fanfics, are doing their part then...Now then viewers...I will be seeing all of you lot in the next chapter...okay?...*I say this, while smiling a cute smile with both eyes closed, and my head tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*

Okay, so carrying on from the previous chapter...

"Hello viewers...Keiko here...*I say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers, before bringing my attention back up again. To which I then proceed, to smile with both eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a cute manner. To which I then open my brown eyes again, in order to continue, to properly address the viewers*...Now then, I am well aware, that not a lot of timeline progression took place in the last chapter...But let me ask you all this...would you rather, that I bombard you all with an immense overload of timeline related events all at once?...Or, would you rather I slowly peter it out like I have been doing?...Because the second one is better, as it makes you all want to anticipate the next chapter..."

"Hey Keiko?...I think that the viewers get the point...Now how about we get on with the chapter now...hmm?...*Misaka proceeds to say this to me, with a very comforting looking smile, and with both of her eyes closed*"

"Oh, r-right Misaka...Now then viewers...on with the chapter."

Okay, so carrying on from the previous chapter. As I continued to look at the somewhat interestingly dressed guy. I then, heard one Misaka then speak up, as if to help clear up the confusion, that I was currently feeling.

"That's Sugiita Gunha, Academy City's seventh ranked level 5 Esper," Misaka suddenly wound up saying to me, as she had recently caught me staring for a bit of time at Sugiita.

"Oh...okay then," I said in response. But, I still couldn't seem to get the images from two weeks ago out of my head. Sure, I had done things, so that neither me or Misaka, wound up overexerting ourselves during the festival.

But still, I somehow couldn't help but think, that the disembodied voice that had spoken to me in my visions. It was almost as if, I had heard their voice someplace before. Though I was pretty sure, that I hadn't. Since the voice was so distorted when it had spoken to me, I couldn't exactly make out who it belonged to.

But, given what it had said, that I would 'learn about who they were in due time,' I wasn't at all too worried about it. However, whoever they were, they seemed to not just know about the other versions of myself, but they knew about the rest of our alliance as well.

But for now, me and Misaka, wound up going over, to check on Uiharu and Saten, to make sure that they were both okay. And, once this had been done, and we were glad they hadn't been injured, all four of us, then set off, to get ready for tomorrow, and the Daihasei Festival.

But, what I was already well aware of. For most of the events, that I would be taking part in. I would be partnered, with Mitsuko Kongo. Which to be honest, I had a bit of hesitation towards.

"I mean, Kongo is a very powerful level 4 Esper...And I saw what she could do when she completely destroyed several of Aritomi's mechs...But still, I don't know well enough about her Aero Hand ability...to have it meld well with my electromaster ability...However, I know that one of the events that I will be participating in, will be the three legged race...And I know for a fact, that my main electricity, is off limits for that event...However, I can still use my magnetism in its place...Still, that only takes care of one of the events that I will be participating in...But rest assured viewers...you will wind up finding out how I intend to tackle each of the events of the festival soon enough...Now then viewers...This now marks the end of episode 1 of Railgun T...But viewers...I will see all of you lot in the next chapter...which will have us jumping right into episode 2...See you all there...*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner. And while I have my attention, turned slightly to the right of me, to briefly address the viewers*"

Chapter 78: The Three Legged Race!: An Aero Hand And A Lucky Strike!

"Okay viewers...Keiko here...Now then, I am well aware that not a whole lot happened in the previous episode...But fret not viewers...because these next few chapters are going to be making up for that...But first viewers, a quick recap of the previous episode...*I say this, while smiling with both eyes closed, and my head tilted to one side, in a cute manner*"

Okay, so at the current moment, me and Misaka, were currently standing side by side. Each of us, just having fired a railgun each, in an effort, to intercept a falling beam, from a stage in front of us, from crushing Uiharu and Saten...

"But viewers...Hello, Keiko here again...Anyway, we seem to be getting a bit ahead here...so, lets wind things back a bit to just before this...shall we?...*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"

I thought to myself, which had then been followed, by me doing my end of chapter fourth wall break.

And now, with the recap of the last episode now done, we will now head right episode 2...of Railgun T.

Date: September 19, 2009

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.

"Hello viewers, Keiko here...*I say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers, before bringing my head, my attention, and my eyesight, back up again, to once again continue to address the viewers*...So viewers...this now marks the end of this episode...But fret not viewers...as we will be getting right back into the action, in the next episode...Which will be episode 3...So then viewers, I will be seeing all of you lot there then...okay?....*I say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"

"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*"
