21 chapter 21

A few minutes earlier

Emily P.O.V.

It seems that Castiel used the death arena. I hope he is fine, he may be strong but he's not invincible and in there he can only count on himself.

No time to worry about that, I must stay focused. If the enemy is to strike it must be now. I will do what Castiel asked me.

As I was waiting to see if there would be movement and any attacks I noticed some auras in the distance. It is probably some fallen and a few humans with holy energy, I did learn how to identify and detect enemies relatively easily after getting some tips from Yuno.

Bitch she may be but she is damn good at searching and detection, probably learned it just to stalk Castiel.

"Guys we have company. I sense about 10 enemies surrounding the area, all around low mid-class but there could be more hidden away." I explained. While I am much worse than Yuno whom can detect anything in an area of kilometers I can at most sense in a 500 meters' radius of myself. That is why I usually go on some of this escort missions when Yuno is busy.

"I will go to the rooftop to see if I can lower their numbers and eliminate any reinforcements, Misaka says while not waiting for confirmation."

"Fine. Seryu, protect the target from anyone that may get past us, I will go to the front entrance to 'welcome' our guests." I said while redirecting myself to be in a position that would allow me to do just that. I also activated some of the seals we put in the building to mask our presence and redirect the normal humans away from here. It is a shame that we couldn't prepare some for the outside of the building or Castiel wouldn't have used the death arena.

"Understood captain." I can almost few Seryu giving a salute to the message, she is too militaristic. "A question, what about Kanda-san and Okuyasu?"

"No need for your useless worry, pumpkin hair. I will do what I was requested and protect the target, even if she is an annoying brat." Wow, talk about being gentle. He is the type that will never get a girlfriend if she is not a saint.

"I will go to the back door. Someone needs to look there as who knows what these little fuckers may do." Okuyasu said. He may use rash words but he is not incompetent.

"Ok team, let's go and do our job."

"""Roger!"", says Misaka."

Up the roof

3° person P.O.V.

On the roof, the form of one of the Sisters can be seen.

"Four targets on the sky, probable reinforcements in case of emergency, says Misaka theorizing about their motivation. It is time to show my awesomeness, says Misaka in what she believes is a triumphant voice." Which unfortunately was not. If anything her voice, like her face was almost entirely unemotional.

The low capacity of showing emotions in the face and voice was one the few defects of all Sisters. That and their limited mana capacity and small pool of skills they could actually use, all electric based.

To get around that a series of devices was made to better use the relatively weak amount of electricity all sisters can produce, unique weapons that work well just because of their abnormal mental processing capacity.

First was a special visor over her eyes that allowed to see at greater distances along with being capable of seeing all the different electromagnetic fields in the area. This not only lets the user see any target even when hidden by magic, but, in the case of any Sister and their electric capacity and control, also manipulate those magnetic fields in the air to help the true weapon they all carry.

This weapon is a special rifle capable of shooting small metal projectiles using electromagnetism by amplifying the electric capacity of a Sister unit. For anyone else it would be next to useless as calculating how to introduce the thunder in the gun is beyond simple complicated, it is borderline impossible for anyone that is not a Sister. When the shot is made in conjunction with the visor that allows for a Sister unity to control the magnetic field in a large area it let the bullet to travel at a sped equivalent to Mach 3, or in other words…

BANG

It is freaking fast and furious.

Looking through the visor the Sister could see that one of the targets had her (and yes it was a she) head blow off. With no pause, she recharged the gun and took aim at a second one that was still confused by the sudden death of the first one. After 2 seconds to charge the Sister shot another bullet hitting her target that was still looking around for their attacker, the bullet that reached them in under 2 seconds managed to get on the chest of the second target, killing him instantly.

The last two realizing the direction of the shot and the time for a new one decided to risk it all by flying straight for the attacker. Unfolding their 4 wings they took flight while creating light shields in front of them for protection.

Seeing this but remaining unfazed by the new development the Sister just reloaded her gun and took aim to shot down another one of her targets. Realizing that her choice of position (on top of a tower with close to no footing) she jumped off of her position and while on free fall finished charging and with a pull of her trigger managed to hit another one. Even with the shields, it would not be enough as the gun could pierce any shield from anyone lower than mid high-class.

The result was that the third one has been killed and the final fallen finally reached the Sister. He was an attractive young man with blond hair, violet eyes and sophisticated air around him. He is the type that would look in place in a social gathering more than a battlefield… if not for the murderous look on his face and the bloodlust that he was emanating.

"Are you the bitch that killed my men?" he asked with a spear of light on hand.

"Yes, Misaka affirms unafraid." And while they were talking she took out her own weapon for CQC. It was a pair of pistols that look like the ones exorcists use but with a lightning symbol on there and two small knives attached to it.

Without waiting for an answer from the fallen, the sister started shooting her guns at him. The man noticing her movements created a shield of light in front of him. The shield could hold the bullets but each bullet cracked the shield a bit.

The bullets were of high caliber with fake diamond tips for better penetration while the gun could carry a certain degree of electricity for a pseudo-railgun that shot the bullets at a speed of sound making its penetrative capacities amazing.

Realizing that the more he waits the bigger the chance of the shield breaking, even with him reinforcing and recovering it continuously, the fallen decided to attack her up close with his light spear.

He came with a pierce straight to her chest but she sidestepped and started going head to head with him in a close combat using the two guns as no more than knives, a technique that the sister`s learned called gunkata.

Failing to hit his target he redirected himself and went for a swipe that aimed at her neck, which she dodged by crouching and jumping with the aim of using her knives on his guts, which also failed as he simply leaned back and by propelling himself forward after her attack missed aimed for her legs. She jumped back taking advantage of the momentum of her previous attack but he did not let her take distance. And so they continued this sort of close quarters fight. It was quite balanced for some time but after a minute of high-intensity movements, the Sister made a small mistake by allowing an opening on her stomach area when she raised arms at him on her shoulder line to try and get a shot at his head.

A mistake that the fallen did not let go to waste as he dropped to a crouch and then pierced a hole right through her guts with all his strength.

"Ha, take that your pathetic bitch. That is what you get for killing my man!" He says that but when he was about to remove his spear of her, seeing her blood dripping out of her mouth and believing that she was as good as dead, his wrists were grabbed and she turned to him with a poker face liberating all thunder and lightning that she could at once.

By taking it directly on his body with no previous preparation to receive such a strike he had an instantaneous heart attack, dying right then and there.

After he fell she looks at him and says:

"I am no ordinary human, you bitch, says Misaka with venom and annoyance in her voice for being called that by her enemy." And after saying that she took a syringe filled with Phoenix Tears.

"I am a homunculus, it would take much more than just a single wound like that to kill me, says Misaka proud of her being what she is."

Back entrance

On the back entrance, another battle was about to start. Three individuals in priest's clothes approach the door.

"Ha, see that? No guards here. Stupid idiots never thought about guarding the back door." One of the three said.

WOOOM

Suddenly a brash looking man with a scar on his face and a pompadour appeared in mid-air in the middle of the three.

"Think again, idiot" And with that Okuyasu taking advantage of his appearance and took the one that was talking with his arms and pulled him in for a knee on his face. After getting hit with a knee on the face he was momentarily stunned and while stumbling he did not see the Ki empowered punch to the gut that Okuyasu delivered. The result was that the first one was downed before any of the invaders could react.

"Get him." The two remaining enemies said almost simultaneously, taking out their light swords.

But, before they could react Okuyasu make a swipe movement with his hand and disappeared of his spot to reaper at more than 20 meters away. Not expecting that they could not react for when Okuyasu turned to them with a victorious smile and decided to do something that could be utterly useless IF it wasn't him. He decided to go with a flying spin kick while making a swipe motion with his hand. The result was that one of the remaining opponents was pulled to right in front of Okuyasu, right in the way for his kick to connect to the side of his head.

Seeing his two companions being downed so quickly the exorcist decided to change tactics by taking out his pistol and start shooting. Taking advantage of that Okuyasu made another motion with his hand to reappear at a larger distance.

Believing that this was a great chance the exorcist took a strange pill and ate it. It immediately raised his power as his skin turned red and eyes became pure white, all his bullets started getting much brighter and faster forcing Okuyasu to keep running on foot as he needed some time to actually made the motion of his sacred gear ability. Seeing his opponent run the priest started laughing maniacally.

"Run, keep running you ridiculous haired bastard."

"What did you just said?" And with that Okuyasu stopped moving. He glared with popping veins on his face that turned fully stoic at his enemy and using his Ki to reinforce his muscles managed to swipe his hand fast enough to eliminate from existence the bullets that were approaching him.

"What, the part of you keep running? The bastard part? Or was it about the shitty hair?" the exorcist asked gloatingly. He took aim and fired at least another found of 12 light bullets at his enemy.

"You die!" and with that and a furious face, Okuyasu raised his hand in a palm form aiming at his opponent and combining his Ki and the unique energy that his gear possessed to release a personal attack that he made based on a show he loved.

"Big Bang Attack."

The Ki strike turned into pure energy that swallowed not only the enemy bullets but the enemy himself. The result was that the opponent was burned to a crispy and barely alive.

"NEVER talk about my amazing hair again, idiot."

Front entrance

At the front entrance, there existed a large hall. It was built like a small coliseum with many pillars of that style and all clean spotless. It really gave off the vibe of a fancy hotel.

In here the last 3 invaders entered. They tried to look like just another face on the crowd but considering that the three of them were wearing gray overcoats and hats inside and were all walking together it could be said that they were failing miserably.

After getting inside they realized that almost instantly all people that were walking normally got out of there with a glazed look on their faces.

"Don't worry. It is just a small barrier we put so as to make sure that we would not involve the civilians in our business."

Looking around the room for the one that just spoke they saw who it was. It was a beautiful girl of about 16 with brown hair, black eyes, pretty face and a well-endowed body. But the most important part was the aura she exuded, it was very much like the one they carry.

"What is another fallen doing here? We are on an official mission by Kokabiel-sama, get out of our way." The one with the higher amount of energy said. He was confused by what a fallen would be doing defending a heretic bitch but he believed that as long as he told his boss' name the girl would get away from them.

"Oh, so it is Kokabiel that commanded this attack? Good to know, and also I won't get out of here as I do not work for the Grigory." She said with a small smirk on her face.

"Not from Grigory but clearly having fallen angel power?... Oh, I know you." The leader of this small squad said. A sardonic smile surged across his face. "You are the result of our leader knocking up that dumb chick from the Tower right? I heard of that, that Azazel-sama did not want any kid and just dumped your mother as soon as he discovered that she was carrying a small bastard up her belly. Ha, if you ask me I'd have killed the bitch so as to not give birth to any half-breeds like you."

Emily's smile disappeared from her face upon hearing that. She could be a lay girl that hated training with passion and not very girly most of the time but she will NEVER let anyone talk bad about her mother. NEVER.

She took out her spear, Trap of Argalia, of and put it diagonally in front of herself. Seeing that as a sign all of the involved released their wings. On the invading side, two had 4 wings being both high mid-level and the leader had 6 wings being low high-level. Believing in their superiority they did not put their guard up, on their eyes they were fighting an infant bastard that was not even fully one of the glorious fallen angels so they simply did not think of her as a threat.

That thinking stopped as she released her own six wings liberating her mid high-level power. Using those wings as leverage points she launched herself managing to pierce right through one of the mid-class fallen before he could properly react. The momentum was so strong that she ended up going right through him, ending the life of that fallen instantly.

"With me!" The leader said and with that, his subordinate came close to him to help protect each other's back. As the floor they were in was too small to fly and to full of pillars, they could not take their usual approach. "Let's go outside!" And saying that they both fled to the outside as fast as possible. Facing a more powerful opponent in a disadvantageous environment was NOT a good choice after all.

As they flew at fast speed they were accompanied by Emily that was at a small distance throwing spears of light at them. They defended the best they could, but they were not all that successful taking many graze shots, making they covered in blood. Not any truly dangerous amount or big damage but it did ruin their appearances.

"I will go first bo-" and that was as far as the 4 winged fallen managed to go before being sliced up by the many extremely thin threads of light that Emily put on the door as soon as the last human got out. She makes all that speech and talks to her enemies for no other reason but to distract them as she put this set of threads all over the door and used a small illusion magic at it to keep it hidden.

Getting terrified by the quick development that was happening the leader stopped moving. That was not the best choice as during that moment Emily decided to take advantage of as she threw her spear at him. The good part is that he managed to avoid a direct hit, just getting a graze on the side. The bad part was that the skill of the spear was activated, it led to him losing his mobility by falling to his knees.

"This is the end for you." Saying that Emily pulled her spear back with an extremely thin thread that was connected to the base of it. Seeing the situation deteriorating the leader decided to bet it all on a light spear using all his energy, not that Emily would allow it as she made a pulling notion and took all the threads one meter ahead of their previous location. The leader that was focusing all of his powers on his lance failed to see the threads on time and as a result, was cut into many pieces.

Seeing the gory state of her opponents the only thing on Emily's head was 'I better clean this up before Castiel sees it, he is always telling me that I should not leave a mess after all'.

The sight of a pretty girl burning corpse pieces was fortunately not seen by anyone, especially the fact that she gave a kick at the ex-leaders' crotch corpse. It was better this way, less fuel for nightmares.
