"Couldn't we stop them all by having you turn your spear sideways, Mr. Cuirass? It looks like it would fill the hallway nicely." Index asked.
"Misaka, if you could zap them as come by, that would probably allow us to catch all of them."

The crowd seemed to eb as time wore on but suddenly a huge flow of people started coming. Apparantly, the research facility had hired a bunch of people. Most were likely not in the know of what was actually going on but it was impossible to tell who was. It could be only one person, and if that person escaped, then there would have been no point in coming.
"Enough!"
Jade resorted to using drastic measures. If even one researcher knew Touma's whereabouts, then it would be worth it.
"O roar of the earth, bring forth the fangs of the mighty dragon... Ground Dasher!"
Then the hallway behind them was blocked with pillars of stone coming up from the floor.

Majora was now firmly on the ground and the right orientation. After a brief moment of gleefully playing with Mr. Mew, Majora finally decided to answer Ryoko and Shiki.
"Yes I’m very much fine so no need to worry. I’m not sure about if I can speak Japanese though. I swear was speaking English but if you can understand me than it's pretty safe to assume that I am indeed speaking Japanese. Anyway the question was, which I shall quote.

"I certainly haven't seen anyone like that, but of course I'm rather new to Academy city myself. Shiki, does this look like anyone you know?"

A thorough, hour long interrogation of the hundred or so researchers revealed very little. The organization had lost track of Touma three months ago, for one reason or another.
"I apologize for bringing you here for nothing. We should head back to our respective homes. I will have a plan of investigation thought out by morning. If you still wish to look for Touma, then meet me by Mr. Itoshiki's residence 8:00am sharp tommorow."
Jade pondered for a moment, then turned to Index and Misaka again. This time with his creepy smile. "Oh, and if I hear anything about my magic or spear from people uninvolved in this event, heads may possibly roll."

So he was using magic. Index had thought so. A spell that manipulated earth by the use of a series of incantations. Something like that was not uncommon, but it did take skill to use effectively in live combat.
"Mr. Cuirass, forgive me if I am being rude, but what magic orginization do you belong to?" Index asked, with a rather serious expression.

'Hmm, I've never met her personally, but I believe she was there at the bridge this afternoon. Well, lot's of people were. Anyway, you should probably ask one of the teachers involved. If you come to my school after class tomorrow, I'm sure that I can help you ask around a bit.
I must say, this is a very good looking mask! Did you make it yourself?'
"Why yes I did! Thanks for the wonderful compliment! It warms my heart to see my art appreciated. As promised here's the information."
Majora than made a quick motion with her eyes before whispering," Do you see that dark alley over there? There's a very suspicious man lurking within those shadows. I think he's a potential threat. He's been watching us this whole time, probably waiting for the right opportune to attack. I suggest we launch a surprise attack. With the three of us, we should be able to easily overpower him and gain some answers on why he's stalking us."
— Ryoko Asakura —
Ryoko turned to look down the alley. "Attack him?" Ryoko asked, sounding confused. "I don't think that would really be necessary, would it? He was probably just intrigued by the fact that you were floating there," Ryoko said smiling, trying to defuse the hostility.
Fear the Gothilolions! | Anime list"Ahhh... he's interested in my levitation? Does he want to float too? I didn't really think it was all that special. He really shouldn't hide in dark corners though. People might suspect he's up to something nasty. It's a good way to get hurt and for such a misunderstanding to occur would be quite unfortunate." Majora said cheerfully
Raising into the air again, Majora flew towards Shirou.
"Young man do you desire the feeling of weightlessness?"
Without waiting for a response, Majora began to chant, "The Earth shall now be born in the Heavens...Ethereality!"
Shirou's body slowly lifted off the ground.

Ryoko watched the scene, a bit worried and confused. People who happend to just be walking by began stopping and staring.
"Shiki, is this normal for Academy City?"

Ryoko stood up and walked over to where the two figures were standing/floating. Moving herself somewhat between the two of them, she adressed the girl.
"You really should let him down. Paralyzing someone's actions is really a horrible thing to do," she said, in a tone that was only a finger-wagging away from a parent scolding a child.
Fear the Gothilolions! | Anime list"Oh... he doesn't want to float anymore? Alright I'll do it, but only if he does this first."
Majora than raised her right leg backwards while putting both of her fists close to her chin.
"Do this pose and I'll let you down." Majora said with a childish grin.

"The computers here are very sensitive. The lights may come back but the computers lost the information that we could have used. Oh well. We could always extort people instead."
Thankfully, after a minute of trying to use Misaka's tiny light to guide their way through, the flourescent lighting came back on.
"Now, let's get moving."
On the way inside, a woman came running down trying to escape. Jade deftly materialized his spear, threw the woman on the ground and pointed the pointy part at her neck. Then, other researchers started running towards them, trying to escape.
"Index, Mikoto-san, stop them from leaving."
