The Japan Prime Minister detecting the treachery of Colonel J.D. Grisham prompts him to summon B.A.B.E.L. with the exhortation to apprehend the Comerican renegade. Sakaki sets off by car while the Wild Cat and Doubleface teams set off by helicopter to pique the Colonel's interest and instigate something for the B.A.B.E.L. Precognition Department to detect. Even after all she has seen and endured with Kaoru, Mary still cannot believe that Kaoru is a Level 7 telekinetic. The rivalry is set aside for the moment when the Colonel is detected at a dam. En route to the scene, Minamoto explains that the objective is to illuminate and apprehend all the defectors (the Colonel as well as the adversary agents) while Kyōsuke sees this event as entertainment and heads out to watch. After several hours of waiting, Shiho decides to approach the Colonel to discern his intention only to find that the Colonel's Level 7 telepathy affords the ability to wield any nearby esper powers to his advantage and has earned him the title Esper Killer. After the Colonel evacuates from the battle scene (probably by using Aoi's teleportation), Ken detects an abandoned cell phone and Mary telekinetically retrieves it. Shiho's psychometric inspection of the phone reveals that the Colonel's plans to head to a dam at a certain time the next day, basically inviting B.A.B.E.L. and Liberty Bell to come witness the event and challenge him there.
They're cute, adorable and three of the most powerful Espers the world has ever seen: Kaoru, the brash psychokinetic who can move objects with her mind; Shiho, the sarcastic and dark natured psychometric able to pick thoughts from people's minds and read the pasts of inanimate objects like a book; and Aoi, the most collected and rational of the three, who has the ability to teleport herself and the others at will. So what to do with these potential psychic monsters in the making? Enter B.A.B.E.L., the Base of Backing ESP Laboratory, where hopefully "The Children" and others like them can become part of the answer to an increasing wave of psychic evolution. It's a win-win solution... Unless you're Koichi Minamoto, the overworked young man stuck with the unenviable task of field commanding a team of three pre-teen girls!
