K-ON!: Shattered Dreams

Chapter 12: Save My Sister

Many hours have passed since Mio Akiyama's assault on Tainaka Ritsu.

Ui Hirasawa didn't know what to do. The chains were debilitating her. Her powers were null at this point. She thought of herself as 'harmless', but neither Mio nor Nodoka thought so. She kept tugging the chains in a vain attempt to pull the shackles off of her, but after the abuse that she was given at the hands of Nodoka, she was weakened greatly. The bruises on her face were the result of Nodoka's punching. Even the slight gash around her neck was thanks to her torturer. She had been tortured for days, yet she stood resilient and defiant to the duo's demands. Most of the demands were to reveal her sister, Yui's weaknesses, but as the younger of the two Hirasawas, she wasn't about to expose her sister to her captors.

Her thoughts were disrupted when she heard the door to the dungeon unlock. The lock was loud, so she could hear the unlocking even from when she is. Then she heard the familiar footsteps closing in on her location. 'Here we go again...' she thought to herself, unsurprised. Sure enough, the familiar sight of the bespectacled Student Council president nearly made Ui feel sick to her stomach, as she stood outside her cell, not coming in this time around.

"I keep telling you this, Nodoka... but you sold your soul to the devil." She said in between breaths. "You sold out..."

"No, I think you're quite mistaken, Ui." She interrupted her. "I never sold out. In fact, I sold IN, but you probably knew that by now."

"Tch..." She grumbled. "Whatever it is you want to know, you're not getting it from me... there's no point hurting me anymore. I'M NOT TELLING YOU ANYTHING!"

"Your stubbornness is really annoying me, Ui. I could easily beat you up again... but I have more important matters to attend to. Something along the lines of, oh, I don't know..." Her voice suddenly went soft and cruel. "Wiping the Hirasawas off the face of the Earth?"

"As if... Yui's far stronger than you, Nodoka. You'll never beat her." The bespectacled one just smirked.

"That remains to be seen. Don't worry. I'll bring her here so that I can kill you both at the same time. Your heads would be a nice decoration for this Tower."

"You're nothing like the Nodoka we know... what's gotten into you, huh? When did you become so heartless! When did you start caring only about yourself?" Ui yelled at Nodoka, which only brought her to snap back at her.

"SHUT UP! You wouldn't know what it's like to have lost EVERYTHING! You still have Yui. But what has she done for ME? All she's done is abandon me and go after Mio, because 'she's more threatening' than me."

"That's not true! She wouldn't dare abandon you! She's your best friend and she's known you for so long... ever since you were kids, Nodoka. There's no way she'd abandon you..." Ui hoped to get this fact into Nodoka's head, but it was to no avail.

"Best friends? Yeah, right. She's out there living the high life, and I'm stuck doing this. So you know what? Mio's gonna make my life a LOT easier. As of now, Yui has completely betrayed me. So her head is MINE." She stomped off, leaving Ui after being angered by her words.

"NODOKA, WAIT! YOU'RE MAKING A BIG..." Before she finished, Nodoka had slammed the door shut on her, preventing Ui from reasoning with her anymore. All Ui could do at this point was let out a heavy sigh. "I have... to tell onee-chan... I have to reach her..." She focused her power. Unbeknownst to everyone else, Ui Hirasawa possessed the possibly the most powerful ability known to mankind.

Telekinesis.

Unfortunately, thanks to the special chains and shackles around her hands and feet, she wasn't allowed to do much in the means of escape. However, her head had not been sealed. She wasn't able to focus enough power to escape, but as far as communication goes, she had the ability to do so. She focused her power into contacting her sister, hoping to at least get some message across.
