I had completed another mission an was on my way back to the Capitol. A young man not much older than I am, bumps into me.
"Ah. Sorry." He says apologetically.
"No, it's fine." I reply.
"Er... it seems that's I've lost my way... would you be kind enough to direct me to the Capitol?"
"Oh. Sure."
"What's your name?"
"Mikoto. Mikoto Misaka. Yours?"
"Draven. I wanna get big in the Capitol and get rich and all that good stuff!"
"Oh I see. Well, follow me. You wanted to go to the Capitol right?"
Draven follows me and as we enter through the city gates I can see Draven's face lighting up with curiosity and excitement.
"This. Is. So. COOOOLLLLLLLLL!!!!"
As his back is turned to me, I notice the sheathed katana on his back. Curious, I ask,"Do you know how to use your katana?"
He looks at me and replies,"This? It's something my dad got from his dad. Who got it from his dad. Who then got it from his dad.... and so forth... But... I have no idea how to use it. In fact I only keep it around cause it looks cool."
"Really? It looks cool?" Man, this guy was something else...
"Well... I-If you w-wanted... I-I guess I could teach you how to use it... "
"REALLY?!" He asks, I can almost see sparkles in his eyes...
"Erm... sure why not...?"
"Yessssss!!! Oh uh... Misaka-san would you be okay showing me how to get to the soldiers recruitment center? You know this place pretty well right?"
"A soldier huh. Nothing is as it seems in this corrupted Capitol..."
"Ah. Call me Mikoto. You can drop the formalities."
"Okay then Mikoto!"
After walking for a bit longer we reach a large crowd.
"Oh God. It's another public execution... These things make me gag..."
"Hey, Mikoto, what's that?"
"A public execution... the Capitol isn't as amazing and fabulous as you think. The king we have now is too young to take full control of the throne and his advisor has him right under his thumb, making his life a living luxury and everyone else's a living hell. He does executions like this to keep the people under his control..."
Draven drags me by the hand and pushes his way to the front of the crowd where the execution is about to occur. Before the man is executed, he yells,"NIGHT RAID!!! Kill this man! Make sure he doesn't hurt anyone else!!!"
Then a sickening slice sound is heard as the man's head is sliced clean off.
Draven turns to me in horror but manages to ask,"What's Night Raid?"
"A group of assassins that take on missions to help avenge the people of the Capitol. They really are one force to be reckoned with..." I say rather quietly in hopes that the executioner won't hear me.
But of course he hears me and roars," HEY! You over there! You little brat! Belittling the Capitol aren't you?!"
He storms over to where I'm standing. I don't move. I'm not scared. I could take this guy's down easily but Draven unsheathes his katana and cleanly slices the executioners arm off. I'm stunned. Not because he just sliced a man twice his size's arm off but by the fact that he really can use that katana on his back and how his reaction showed no emotion. He turns to my surprised face and asks," Hey, are you alright?"
"Yeah. " I say quietly,"But just saying... he's not quite dead yet."
"YOU FUCKING BRATS THINK YOU CAN KILL ME HUH!" He grabs the axe with his other arm and let's out a rather odd sounding battle cry and charges at me again.
However, this time, I'm ready. An iron sand sword has formed in my right hand as I quickly dash forward and slice him in half. I turn back and look at him before he dies and say,"You won't be hurting anyone anymore."
Now it's Draven's turn to look at me in awe. "He-hah-h-how...?"
I turn back to Draven and say,"You didn't need to see that...."
I guess Draven was pretty shocked because he fainted on the spot. I let my sword disintegrate back into iron sand and it flies away in the wind.
Author's Notes
Mikoto is still an esper. (3rd most powerful level 5 ,Railgun,strongest electromaster etc.)
Draven looks quite a bit like Tatsumi
I couldn't think of what is a gonna add earlier so I'll just end it here.
Oh wait I remember. The picture in media is Mikoto (left) an her iron dependable is forming with her esper power which allows her to control electricity to such a length that she can generate over 100 million volts of energy. In the background is Touma Kamijou. And unlucky idiot part of the Railgun series. I'm not quite sure whether I want to add him in or not. We will have to see. What's I'm important is mainly the left side of the picture though.
See you guys in the next chapter! When I have the time to update it.
