A Certain Scientific Pair Of Railgun Aces

"Hello viewers, Keiko here. Yes, it hasn't been that long since the last chapter has it? *proceeds to close both eyes and giggle for a few seconds in a cute manner before composing self and then continuing to address the viewers* Anyway, as I was about to address to all of you viewers. We are going to be skipping ahead a slight bit in the timeline. Don't worry, as it isn't going to be by much. In fact, we are only talking about a few hours in fact. To later in the evening, which would be a couple of hours after the whole incident with the vending machine. Anyway, with regards to what I said about the Level 6 Shift experiments, I meant every single word of it. *proceeds to bring face quite a bit closer to address the viewers while saying that sentence and while wearing an expression to show that she isn't lying about that before quickly bringing face back to the original distance away to continue to address the viewers* Anyway, given the current situation, regarding me, Misaka, and Mr. Rotten Luck himself, Touma....It was currently...How should I put this...actually...you know what?...Why don't we just start the current chapter...and then you will see exactly what I mean...*proceeds to say that last sentence while wearing a very worried looking expression*"

Okay, let me be brutally honest here, things hadn't exactly gone as swimmingly as they should've been going right now. In fact, given that I was currently in a not so safe looking standoff, with Misaka, and Touma...yea...things couldn't be less safe if they tried...And the reason for this?...Well...

"Keiko...you need to step aside and let me do this!" Misaka said, in both a very upset, and not very enthusiastic sounding tone, as quite a bit of electricity, swirled and crackled around her. And as for me? Well...

"That is not going to happen Misaka...do you really expect me to just simply stand aside so that you can hurt him?!...How about you take a moment...and think about this?!" I said, as I stood in the middle, of what was currently, a very volatile situation.

And what I mean by that, was that the three of us, were all currently on a bridge, somewhere in Academy City. And as for a more detailed insight into the current situation? Well...as it currently stood...Misaka, had...for reasons known only to her, decided to start discharging huge amounts of electricity, towards Touma...and the reason for why?...Well, after I had briefly used my Telepath ability, to peak into her mind for a moment...I realized, that Misaka, was not interested, in having Touma get involved with the Level 6 Shift experiments...because she didn't want to drag him into our current dilemma, and risk him getting seriously hurt...and also, because Touma, apparently understood, exactly what Misaka was currently going through at this current moment. And as a pretty aggressive response, Misaka had then discharged quite a bit of her electricity...however, unlike back in chapter 5...Touma didn't use his Imagine Breaker, to neutralize Misaka's electricity. And not surprisingly, given the current situation...I wasn't having any of it.

"I am not budging here...So, if you want to hurt Touma..." I began to say, only to have my statement forced to a complete stop mid-sentence, as Misaka, once again, discharged more of her electricity.

But, while I continued to hold my ground...something unexpected happened. Touma, as it turned out, was no longer standing directly behind me. In fact, he had actually sidestepped out from behind me, and then wound up taking the full brunt of Misaka's discharged electricity. And, for the first time since I had wound up in control of Keiko's body back in chapter one, I was very very shocked and surprised.

"Wait a sec here...why did...wait...hold on here...what the heck just happened!?" I frantically thought to myself, as my current expression, now made me look, like I was now currently short-circuiting, as I tried to figure out, exactly what, had just taken place.

However, in those few seconds, in which I tried to figure out, exactly what was going on. Misaka, then proceeded to discharge, several more electric based attacks towards Touma. And each time, Touma didn't use his Imagine Breaker to block or neutralize any of them.

And, as I then turned my attention towards Misaka, during while this was going on. I then noticed, that she now had tears, streaming down her cheeks.

"What the heck is going on here?!" I thought to myself, as I continued to look on in horror, at the current situation, that was currently playing out in front of me.

However, once the electricity had completely seized discharging. And I then got a chance to get a much better look at the current situation. I couldn't help but show a face of complete horror. Because, once I took a look back at Touma, I was greeted by him, face-down on the ground, in a very injured state. And to make matters just that much worse then they already currently were, he was currently not moving either.

And, upon turning my attention back to Misaka, and as I was about to yell quite aggressively and angrily at her, for doing this to Touma. I then realized, that the tears that I had seen on her face during the whole incident, were now much more prominently visible, on her face.

"Okay...what the heck just happened?...And why do I get the feeling...that there is much more to this, then I am currently seeing...at this very moment...am I missing something here viewers?" I thought to myself, while briefly turning my eyesight, as well as my attention, to the right of me, to briefly address the viewers, during the last bit of my thought.

"Hey viewers, Keiko here again...so I think that that is more then a great place to stop the third and final part of this episode, wouldn't you say?...What's that?...You don't want the chapter to end here?...Well, quite frankly, that is not your choice viewers...*proceeds to giggle with eyes closed*...Or should I remind you..." "Keiko...would you just cut to the chase already?!..." "Uh...right Misaka...sorry about that...*proceeds to say that with a somewhat weary expression and a bead of sweat now present on one side of face*...Anyway, see you all in the next chapter."
