Chapter 3 - Dream

When I woke up, I was in a hospital bed. I looked around and saw the doctor.

- Where am I? I asked him.

- You are in the hospital, the doctor replied. When he said that, I remembered what happened. I looked down to my stomach and saw bandages.

- How long was I unconscious for? I asked.

- About a day,

- Okay, so where are Aimi and Taiyo? I asked.

- Aimi followed Ogawa and Hara. Meanwhile Taiyo came here with you and told me what happened and then left to help Aimi,

- Sorry but I have to see one of my other patients, said the doctor and left. After a little while I went out.

When I came out I had become thirsty, so I went to the vending machine and bought a cola for 100 yen but the can didn't come out. In the end I had spent 12 000 yen… which yes means that I spent 80% of my money on just one cola and of course that cola didn't even come out. I looked around to see if anyone else was here and saw Nari.

- Hey loser! What are you doing? she asked.

- Hi Nari, just trying to buy a cola, I replied.

- You don't call me that, she said.

- Ok so what am I supposed to call you? I asked.

- You should of course call me Misaka, said Misaka. 

- But if I'm with both you and your brother, how are you going to know who I am calling? I asked.

- Single Lightning, said Misaka and shot a bolt of lightning towards me but I just stretched out my right arm and stopped the lightning with Magic Breaker. She looked angrily and confused at my arm and asked "How? How are you doing that? How?"

- Ok, fine I'll call you Misaka, I said nervously.

- So, what are you doing? she asked.

- Trying to buy a cola, I said. She looked towards the vending machine and asked "So how much money did you spend?"

- Only a hundred, I lied. She looked at me and said "Yeah sure." I looked away and said "Ok it was 12 000."

- Single Lightning, said Misaka and shot a bolt of lightning towards me which I stopped with Magic Breaker.

- Can you please stop shooting lightning at me? I asked.

- Never, idiot, she said and walked up to the vending machine and pushed me away. She spun around which made her skirt lift and showed her…

- Shorts, I said shocked. Under her skirt she had shorts. After she had spun around one lap she kicked the vending machine and a lot of drinks flew out.

- What are you doing! You can't do that, I screamed.

- Who said I can't do that? she asked. "It's already taken 200 000 yen from me." I looked at her in shock.

- So why are you here? she asked.

- Well I got stabbed in the stomach, I answered. After I said that she took a cola and threw it towards me and said "Here you got your cola." Then I sat down on the bench and asked "So why are you here?"

- I'm here to meet someone, she replied.

- Oh Misaka hi, said Misaka. She sounded emotionless. I looked towards her and asked "Why did you say that?" She stood there frozen in shock. I looked behind her and saw a girl that looked exactly like Misaka. She had the same brown, slightly longer hair, same brown eyes and the same school uniform.

- What in the world? I asked shocked. Didn't know Misaka had a doppelganger, I thought.

- Why are you here? What are you doing here? screamed Misaka distressed.

- I'm here to meet someone, answered Misaka's doppelganger. Something is wrong with her. Her voice had absolutely no feelings behind it. It was like listening to a robot.

- Come now, said Misaka angrily and dragged her doppelganger with her. After that I went back into the hospital.

When I got back to my room the doctor sat beside my bed. I sat at my bed and told him what had happened. He looked at me and told me that I must have just imagined it. After that I went to sleep.

When I woke up I was back at the bench at the vending machine. I was lying on Misaka's legs. Misaka looked down at me and smiled at me.

- What happened? I asked.

- You got a heatstroke and fainted, answered Misaka.

- So all that was just a dream, I whispered to myself.

- What did you say? asked Misaka.

- Nothing, I replied. Suddenly her face transformed into an octopus underside and then it attacked me. Just before it made contact everything went black. I looked around and saw a man not long away from me with his back towards me. He turned around and said "run" and exploded and then I woke up.

When I woke up I sat up in my bed. I looked around and saw that I was in the hospital again. So all that was just a dream, I thought. The Doctor looked at me and asked "Are you okay?"

- Yeah… Yeah I'm ok… Just had a nightmare, I replied. I was breathing heavily. That dream scared the life out of me. "Where are Aimi and Taiyo?"

-They are trying to find Ogawa right now, answered the doctor. After he said that his phone started ringing. He picked it up and answered. After a little while he said "Ok I will send someone over to help" and after that he put his phone in his pocket. He put his hand on his forehead and whispered "Those idiots."

- What happened? I asked.

- Taiyo and Aimi found Ogawa but they need some help, answered the doctor

- I can go and help them, I said.

- With that injury? No, you're not, said the doctor.

- What? Why? Why can't I help them? I asked. After I said that my vision got black and then I saw the lab that I went into with Taiyo and Aimi from a tree that was outside that lab. Then I turned and looked at a lab that was on the other side of the road and flew into that building. I was seeing it from a bird's eye. The bird flew through several rooms and eventually it flew into a room that Aimi and Taiyo were resting in. They were very bloody. They looked at the bird in shock. Taiyo said something but I couldn't hear what he said. On their left side was an ice wall. On the other side of the ice wall stood a monster with a human body where his right side was lava and his left side was water. The monster was probably Hara. Hara punched the wall with his lava arm. Taiyo got up and said something and then my vision was back to the Hospital. The doctor looked at me in shock and said "And now you know where they are." I started running towards the lab and when I just got out of my hospital room the doctor screamed "No don't go."

It took me like ten minutes to run to the lab. When I stopped I was breathing heavily. Yeah I shouldn't have ran here, I thought as I felt pain in my stomach from the stab wound.

- Well it's too late to back out, I said and walked in. When I got to the room that Aimi and Taiyo were in, I saw that Aimi was trapped under a bunch of basalt and Taiyo was pushed into the wall by Hara's extended water arm. I ran towards Hara's water arm and punched it with Magic Breaker which made it go back to its normal length. After I did that I saw that his lava arm was flying towards me. I avoided his attack and started running towards him. So how can I beat him, I thought. He tried to punch me with his lava arm and I reflectively blocked it with Magic Breaker. I screamed in pain from touching his lava arm. I jumped away and looked at my arm which had gotten burn marks but after a few seconds the burn marks disappeared. I looked in shock at my arm. Wait, did the burn marks just disappear? I thought. After I thought that Hara's lava arm came flying towards me and I again blocked it with Magic Breaker. Of course I don't learn, I thought disappointed right before I felt the pain. I tried to jump away but my feet had been trapped in basalt. Well shit, I'm dead, I thought but after my right arm started glowing red.
