The P.A.N.D.R.A. release of several commercials that appear to be for the purpose of membership recruitment (or for simply flexing their muscles since there is no contact information given) abruptly forces Minamoto to set aside his anguish over Ikyuugo's mortal sacrifice to protect Taizou when he is charged the apprehension of a pair of sibling espers with electromagnetic powers that wish to manufacture a false news broadcast of The Children attacking normal humans without cause. Prior to mission zero hour, the quarry sibling electromagnetic espers introducing themselves with an electrical charge that incapacitates their helicopter and an electromagnetic eidolon pre-empts Minamoto's explanation of Kyousuke's ultimate goal being an esper-led war against humans. As Taizou frenzily works the main nerve center to locate them, Kaoru is loving the attention not realizing that she is playing right into the hands of the perpetrators who decide that it is necessary to have footage of Kaoru and her teammates attacking the city and its human citizens to ruin the image of espers in general. The deus ex machina to apprehend the perpetrators comes from a mysterious esper that uses Taizou's phone to suggest blacking out the entire city. A blistering reproof at Kaoru coupled with stringent orders to restore the severed cables later, Minamoto directs Shiho and Aoi after the two fugitives only to find that they have to be apprehended simultaneously. Kaoru rejoins the battle to find that the tables have turned -- her company with P.A.N.D.R.A. for Minamoto's life. After Shiho and Aoi break the stalemate with an avenue for perverting the toxic electrical wave to their advantage, Kaoru emphatically refuses to join P.A.N.D.R.A.; a furious telekinetic pummeling later, the two sibling espers are apprehended and made to undo all the damage that they have done even as there are unresolved loose ends.
