Editing Toaru Majutsu no Index:Railgun PSP SS (section)

===Part 15===

In that instant, the air within the facility roared up. The metal objects such as the metal plates of the tanks and the railings of the midair walkways were blown to pieces. The sound seemed to come after the sight.

However…

This was not caused by the Multiphase Straight Hammer’s projectile breaking up in midair and creating a surface from the shockwave.

Aizono Mio had swung the black, whip-like blade to slice apart the tanks, walkways, and floor the thick rubber bands were attached to. Military Oil itself gave greater control to the enemies because of their greater numbers. However, the objects holding the rubber bands in place were normal objects. Even Aizono’s power was enough to slice them apart.

And…

When the rubber bands holding so much power suddenly lost one of their supports, the rubber bands naturally flew in the opposite direction with the heavy metal fragments still attached.

In other words, countless weights flew toward Hyoudou Maki as she held the projectile.

“Eh…?”

It was for just an instant, but she froze.

Immediately afterwards, the weights stabbed in from almost every direction with overwhelming speed. The power was much less than when all the energy was collected in one point, but it was more than enough to crush a human body.

“Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!?” Maki screamed, but that also meant she was still in a state where she ''could'' scream.

She had used her Military Oil composite armor dress to avoid a fatal blow.

Meanwhile, Aizono headed forward.

She headed toward the other three girls.

“It seems one means of counteracting Military Oil is to mix other objects such as metal into the oil. Well, my version was a bit more attack oriented.”

“D-damn you…!!”

“It’s true that all members of White Alligator are equally powered Level 4s, so pure numbers will decide the victor. However, I am no longer a member of White Alligator. I did not continue growing in the same direction as you did afterwards.”

In a way, that was the last thing Maki, Kobina, and Sayori wanted to hear.

It started having an effect greater than a simple mental one.

“I’m not stupid enough to boast about it, but I learned a lot over the course of that incident. ''Now let’s settle this using what we weren’t just given by those filthy adults''.”

“!! Kobina, Sayori! We can’t use the Hammer anymore. Let’s overwhelm her with numbers and speed!!”

“Understood!!”

“…!!”

No response came from Sayori.

Maki frantically spun around to find Sayori convulsing while still standing. A thick, severed cable laid at her feet. It was a piece of the instrumentation used as the weight when the thick rubber bands had attacked Maki. The capacitors must 
have still had some power left in them which was now attacking Sayori.

As the others watched on, Sayori finally collapsed to the floor.

“Even while using the Military Oil composite armor dress, an electric current with a high enough voltage can still get through. I learned that the hard way.”

As she spoke, Aizono took a large step forward.

She made it seem she was headed for Maki, but her real target was Kobina.

A sound like a gas being expelled was heard and a characteristic irritating smell seemed to stab into Kobina’s nose.

“This smell…napalm!?”

Kobina immediately tried to gather up oil to strengthen her defenses, but…

“It was a feint. By the way, did you know that lowers your mobility?”

“!!”

Before Kobina could take another breath, Aizono used the black whip to grab and lift up the severed cable.

“And as I said before, a current with a high enough voltage can penetrate that composite armor!!”

A zapping noise exploded out.

Kobina convulsed before collapsing to the floor. The way her composite armor dress turned back into oil showed that she had lost consciousness.

“Now then.”

“Kh…!!”

With the sound of sliced air, Aizono and Maki formed blades at the same moment. One was an intentional offensive action and the other was a reflexive defensive reaction. Even if it was the same act, their stances were clearly different.

“Three can overwhelm me. But one can only counterbalance me. Wasn’t that it?”

“Yes, but even if you have improved your situation, a draw is still the best option remaining for you.”

“No, what we obtained after White Alligator will decide this. I am proud of what I did during that kind time, but can the same be said for you?”

“…!!”

“You continued to fight in the darkness as you wanted. Even without White Alligator, you gained your own kind of growth. However, that growth was of the worst kind. I will show just what power there lies in being saved by Saitou-sensei. And I hope that you all will also receive the same one day.”

The clash of blade on blade repeated a few times before it came to a quick end.
