In the mist of this 'battle', Apocalypse stumbled upon a new individual in which the Ethereal could witness from afar. The events would be stored and analyzed for later as too many things were occurring at once and the alien did not wish to perform any form of error at this point. Just as it let the other members of its crew study this new individual, Saber would already put down by one blow. The Ethereal wasn't sure what to think of this, either this child was overwhelmingly powerful or Saber was pretty much a joke. Upon further reflection, it concluded that it was the latter. Approaching the knocked out Saber, the alien would glare into his soul for a good five seconds before moving to its original position. 

"[color=black]It appears a child has defeated you in a single blow, Rivard. As it has been said, no matter the appearances, always remain on your guard in this illogical world.[/color]" 

With Saber given some food for thought, the alien would now evaluate the little Ruiko had displayed earlier. The first part of its analysis would be that music player she purposely put on before engaging in battle. It emanated a strange energy, an influence akin to the 'Gift' that seemed to provide power to AIM users. Espers feeding off simple sound was an interesting piece of information to have. Misaka had indeed made mention of these 'Level Uppers' in the past, but without a sample available that information was beyond useless. Now they had one, and they could observe its effects in the future. 

Then came her powers, evidently quite different from Misaka's electromagnetic capabilities. She manipulated a simple rock with what could be best deduced as air currents or pressure. Considering the wide array of abilities the Espers would wield, it didn't surprise it that there'd be an air user among them. But it needed to know more, its potential and just how it can be molded in her current state. In order to do that, it would need her cooperation. Although she didn't seem to resist the ideas it was offering, it was clear as day that she craved something which in turn would make her volatile within the organization. It needed a way to quench her wrathful aura. 

"[color=black]You do not seem interested in many things. The fact that you wield this tool with you indicates you crave a certain degree of power. As of now you will lose to Mikoto in a battle. Which is why we wish to see more. If you comply, we can offer you what you wish.[/color]" 

The Ethereal could sense her searing desire to defeat Misaka and ascend in terms of her abilities. To give her something to do, the overlord would have four [url=http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/xcom/images/6/6f/Concept_-_Berserker.jpg/revision/20121025045057]Berserkers[/url] crash down in nearby parts of town. They would all converge in the current position of Ruiko by rushing in at full speed. They were rather tough and could easily destroy her bone structure with a well placed hit. The alien would of course prevent any finishing move, but it wasn't going to restrain them.
