Gakuen Alice 88

Cool stuff happens in this chapter. A wonderful performance by Mikan with not one...but...
Quote:
Okay, as I was saying, Mikan's sticker is fully shaded in this chapter because she uses her alice that much I guess. We also get a Mikan-Luna showdown! IT'S INTENSE PEOPLE!!!!!!!! Here's the rundown: In the beginning, Yuka and Shiki are talking about something ( I don't know Chinese very well to know what they were saying in the Chinese summary). Shiki mentions to Yuka that "that" principle is still there at the school, with a shocked looking Yuka. For the Kibasen, the Red team is doing very well. They seem to be winning. We see a few funny parts, like Misaki using her alice to charm male students on the other team. They couldn't get past her, so they decide to go take out Nobara. But they all slip on ice (Nobara apologizes ^^) I believe Kokoroyomi taunts saying he can read their every move (dangerous aura behind him ^^). But the events turn and the white team makes a comeback. It starts with Natsume. He's able to retrieve two stars for his team (looks back like he wants to talk to Mikan or something). Sumire also is brought in and is able to retrieve points for the white team. Then people with rather weird alices, including Kusami (remember, he's the kid with the mask that Natsume keeps on stealing from), come in and start to blow the red team away ^^. Mikan can't stand seeing this happen to everyone, so she tells Tsubasa to go out onto the battlefield. She hits Kusami on the head and pounces on him, but Sumire kicks her away and she starts to fall. Tsubasa catches her with his shadow alice, therefore he has used up all him uses. With Mikan's team out in the open, and Tsubasa having used up all his alice uses, Luna takes this chance to strike with her "friends". So the boy with glasses and a few others charge for them. Hotaru and Natsume look back to see what is happening. They, along with the entire crowd, is seeing the boy with glasses strangling Mikan. Mikan is wondering what the heck is going on and why he's acting that way. She then truns to see Luna with yet another evil, self-satisfied look on her face. At last Mikan understands..... Mikan starts to glow like mad (like when she faced Persona). The elementary school principle starts to look scared and surprised (first time seeing this expression from him). Mikan looks up to see the boy with glasses, only he looks different. He looks confused and askes why he's there. This is the same for the phsycic boy who lost control in chapter 85. TSUBASA: Mikan, just now, did you... ...use your alice? MIKAN: Eh? [But I didn't use my nullification] Why...? Mikan opens up her hands to find four little alice stones in her hand. The boys continue to ask Mikan what just happened to them (poor guys don't realize they've just had their alices stolen...and that they've been freed from Luna's control). Luna looks on with a frustrated look (and we see that her sticker count has been fully shaded in too). Mikan continues to ask herself what these stones are and if she's the one that made them. People go on and on as if they're surprised (I guess, I still can't read the Chinese summary well enough for great details). Mikan askes them if they have seemed not themselves lately and tells them to go on. She tells herself that the boy is not bad. She turns to Luna with a confident look. Luna on the other hand looks like she's been beaten (looks scared to me). When Hotaru sees Luna's expression she reaches out with a mechanical hand on her invention to Mikan. She then tosses her across the battlefield (Tsubasa and You-chan have to run for dear life to catch her ^^) Hotaru tells Mikan she needs to defeat her. Mikan understands and charges for Luna. What Luna told her back in the warehouse flashes back into her mind. Only this time she does not let those words get in her way. (GO MIKAN GO!) She pounces towards Luna and Luna looks shocked and scared for the first time in the series. She knows that everyone has had to suffer bacause of this Luna and is determined to bring her out. MIKAN: [I won't allow you.] Luna resists her, grabs her arm and makes Mikan lean over. Just then Luna puts her mouth right next to Mikan's neck. Ruka sees this and screams. RUKA: SAKURA WATCH OUT...! After that, we see another bright glowing coming from the both of them. You see, they have both used up their alices, so when they both try to use their alices (Mikan the nullification and Luna the soul-entrapping), it sends them both a big shock. Everyone rushes to them after this. Mikan is lying on the ground unconscious. Tsubasa guesses that they used their alices against the rules and were given a shock. Hotaru and Natsume start to run over to where Mikan is too. Other people on the white team run over to Luna as well and she is also unconscious. (Hopefully she's not pretending. I want Luna to be hurt!) After we see this, we see a flashback that could've only happened during that shock. Remember that Mikan had already used her alice three times (the second time I do not know...), so she wasn't able to use another alice easily due to the sticker's restrictions, meaning she couldn't use her nullification to defend herself. Luna knew this and used her alice on Mikan during that big shock (NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO). But aside that horrible news, Kokoroyomi points out that Mikan took out the other team's general, so they win. One of the referees takes the uses of alices when it was already restricted as a penalty. He adds up the points and the winnner of that event is............................................................................................................... ...the Red team~ (Yeeeaaaah Mikan's team won~) The score is 260 (white) to 300 (red). Now unless I totally read wrong, that is true. So Mikan was able to win it for her team afterall, but at a cost.
