figures out Kakine's power turned against him before he did

Accelerator alone remained silent.
The #1 had been continually using his control over all vectors to attack the system that
was Kakine Teitoku from within.
That was the only conceivable possibility.
“It can’t have… It can’t have changed…and yet… What did you do? Even if you interfered
with the Dark Matter’s internal lines…even if you reversed the signals, you shouldn’t
have been able to make it past that individual block. And yet… What…what did you-…!?”
“Oh, I get it.” Finally, Accelerator spoke as if it did not matter. “I guess it was a part
those infinite possibilities you were talking about. I see, I see… Heh heh, that makes
sense. I find it hard to believe a fragment like that would appear within you, but you did
say it was infinite. Something like that must’ve gotten mixed into that network of yours.”
“What are you… What are you talking about!?”
“It wasn’t me,” replied Accelerator.
His response was the simplest response there was.
“I’d say it was you that stopped you.”
♦
At that moment…
“Nyah. What’s the matter?”
The white Rhinoceros Beetle 05, Last Order, and Fremea waited near the multilevel
overpass while watching for a chance to approach the intense battles there.
But…
Rhinoceros Beetle 05 was unable to respond to Fremea’s question.
Its consciousness was focused on the image of Kakine Teitoku that only it could see.
“…I see…”
“That’s right,” responded the image.
“So…that’s it…”
“So what will you do?”
Its thick horn-like main cannon slowly moved. Its aim wavered. As the master, Kakine
Teitoku was giving a command to Rhinoceros Beetle 05 who was the slave. He was
commanding it to quickly kill the two girls who stood nearby.
The only way to escape the basic order to kill was to acquire a personality beyond Kakine
Teitoku.
But Rhinoceros Beetle 05 was nothing but a slave, so it would break apart the instant it
lost the supporting pillar of Kakine Teitoku.
Therefore, Rhinoceros Beetle 05 could not reject the order to kill.
The formula was perfectly sound.
However…
“I never had to become anything other than Kakine Teitoku,” said the beetle.
“What…?”
“There was never any need to forcibly think about acquiring a new personality.”
“Wait a second. That response was not in the preset version of Kakine Teitoku!!”
The sound of cracks running across the beetle’s body rang out.
The red light in its eyes flickered unstably like a malfunctioning light.
“I…”
The cracks had finally become visible on the outside of its body.
It was as if those cracks were in payment for resisting something.
But it did not stop.
Rhinoceros Beetle 05 did not stop speaking.
“I am…!!”
Suddenly, the red light in Rhinoceros Beetle 05’s eyes completely disappeared.
It had ceased to function.
Or so it appeared.
But that was not the case.
“My name is…”
The light came back on immediately afterwards. But it had changed from red to green.
The previous coloration that had indicated an error became a vivid green as if to
announce it was now running properly.
“My name is Kakine Teitoku, Academy City’s #2 Level 5 and the user of Dark Matter.”
Some might have described it as a flower blooming.
The cracks continued to appear from within the white Rhinoceros Beetle 05. Without
hesitation and without indecision, the beetle completely shattered. And what appeared
from within those glittering fragmentary particles was…
A single white boy with a green light in his eyes.
