Two updates in one day, one of them being a new story for that matter whaaaaaaaaat? Yes. This will be my first story to actually drift away from any Nintendo/video game franchise. So yeah, I'm really excited for this one, being how it's for my favorite anime of all time. Alas though, I have only seen season one of Railgun, seen nothing of Index, have not read the manga for either, and have limited knowledge of the Railgun S plot, so I'm getting a lot of information from the wiki.
But, don't think that means this is terrible. I have a lot of plans for this series, a lot of plot twists, and of course, cliffhangers!
PocketSnails does not own the A Certain Scientific Railgun anime or manga.

I ran through the streets of Academy City. It was a beautiful day out. It would be even better if I could enjoy it. But alas – I had to stop these scientists from finding out something they really shouldn't…
xXxXxXxXx
The scientists sat in the room together, a projector pointed at a wall. One scientist stood up in front of the wall, a clicker in his hand for the presentation.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please be seated." He said. "I have for you today a presentation. It is titled 'Level 5,' and it covers a topic that not many people in this city say they have extensive knowledge on."
xXxXxXxXx
I tried my best to book it. Damn it, why doesn't Accelerator do what the name implies? I should be able to run fast… I thought to myself.
xXxXxXxXx
"Everyone, here is a picture of the number one ranked level 5 esper 'Accelerator.' He is commonly referred to as the strongest esper in the entirety of this city."
The man clicked the next slide, another man appearing on it.
"This is Kakine Teitoku, the second ranked level 5. His ability is Dark Matter." The scientist got on a roll, explaining the esper's names and their abilities.
"Misaka Mikoto, the Railgun."
"Mugino Shizuri, Meltdowner."
"Shokuhou Misaki, Mental Out."
xXxXxXxXx
I finally reached the building and banged on the door. Damn it, locked. How else to get in…I looked up, and could see flashing coming from the sole window – clearly a presentation. But how would I…Oh, right! Misaka's ability allows her to scale vertical walls!
xXxXxXxXx
"And finally ladies and gentlemen, Sogiita Gunha, the seventh ranked level 5 esper. Ability is unknown, and uniquely, he is a gemstone, meaning he is an esper who has obtained their power without an artificial method, such as Academy City's Power Curriculum Program. He is purely natural. Him being level 5 doesn't necessarily reflect his prowess, but more so the fact that his ability has yet to be classified into anything."
"Wait, sir, you said he is the seventh ranked level 5 esper, yet you've only covered six. Why is that?" A female scientist asked.
"That ladies and gentlemen is why I have brought you here today. No one really knows the identity of the sixth-ranked level 5. No one except me that is. I have uncovered this elusive student's identity! Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you: Yuki Kumiawase!"
He clicked to the next slide, and on it popped up a girl wearing a simple hospital gown. Her skin and hair were pure white, though her eyes were blood red. In essence, she essentially looked like a female Accelerator, though with longer hair.
"Now, allow me to tell you Ms. Kumiawase's ability:"
"Stop right there, sir! You will speak no more of me!" I said as I jumped in through the window.
"Scientists, I suggest you leave this room unless you want to suffer a death like your presenter here will." I said, making a clear and open threat.
"Someone call security!" A scientist screamed.
"Screw that!" Another pulled out a Taser and fired it at me. The two pins entered my neck, though they had no effect. Surprise surprise – Railgun and I shared an ability.
I grabbed the wires and pulled the scientist to me, rearing my fist back and charging electricity around it. When he reached me, I punched him square in the face. The amount of electricity I pumped into his body surely killed him.
"Number Three: Railgun." I said with a smirk.
"Shit! She's an Electromaster!" One of the scientists was fixing to open the door to call security.
"Uh uh uh." I smiled and took out a remote and pointed it at him, pressing a button on it to put him under my control.
"Number Five: Mental Out." I said slyly as the scientist began to attack the others.
"Someone get her!"
Three more surrounded me, and this group was now brandishing weapons. Not like it would help, mind you. I held my hand out in front of me, making three bright green circles appear, one aiming at each of the scientists. Then, in a split second, the circles became beams and blasted through them.
"Number Four: Meltdowner."
Two more scientists whipped out pistols, one of them gunning down the one I had under control. They then aimed at me.
I simply smiled and made explosions appear under both of them, killing them.
"Number Two: Dark Matter."
I looked around. All that remained was the poor man who started this meeting. I walked over to him and grabbed him by the throat, slamming him against the wall.
"Now, let's make this clear, you supposedly know my ability and level?" I asked him. He nodded.
I grinned wickedly. "Well, allow me to correct you: My name is Yuki Kumiawase. I am not the sixth-ranked level 5, that is simply the guise that I go under, as there are only six level 5s. I am the level 6 esper, however. My ability: Multi-Skill. The abilities I control with this: Accelerator, Dark Matter, Railgun, Meltdowner, and Mental Out. I control all the level 5s. None of them can match or defeat me."
I smiled as I stuck a finger in a wound he had in his arm, reversing the flow of blood in his body.
"Oh, and Number One: Accelerator." His body went limp in my grip and I dropped him to the floor. I jumped out the same window, my work there done. Except for, of course…
…Kaboom. Once I was far enough away, I made the building explode with my Dark Matter. No evidence. I casually walked through Academy City now, blending in as usual.
xXxXxXxXx
I was sitting down a bench, on my cell phone when she came up and decided to speak to me.
"Misaka Mikoto. Third ranked level 5 esper in Academy City. Ability: Railgun. Most powerful Electromaster." I said.
She sighed. "Yuki Kumiawase. Only ranked level 6 esper in Academy City. Ability: Multi-Skill, level 5. Most powerful person in the city."
"Be careful saying that out loud. I don't need unwanted attention." I smirked.
"Riiiiiiight. That's why you blew up a building, huh?"
"You can't prove I did it. I erased the evidence."
"Touché."
"So, what do you want with me Misaka? Clearly not a chat."
Just then, my phone started to freak out.
"Hey, what the hell is wrong with this stupid thing?" I asked, smacking the side of it. All of a sudden, a young girl appeared on the screen, looking directly at Misaka and me.
The girl was young looking – around mine and Misaka's age. She had brown eyes and really short brown hair, the left side tied into a collarbone length ponytail. Her face was also quite round if I must say.
"Misaka Mikoto and Yuki Kumiawase. I bring you two an urgent message." She told us.
"Wait what? Who are you, and how do you know our names?" Misaka asked.
"Look Misaka, there's no time to explain. I won't be able to stay within Academy City's systems for long. I bring you a warning, that I myself do not understand fully, but it is urgent: 'When two worlds collide, Armageddon will soon be unleashed upon the world.' Please, I need you two to either prevent this from happening or get me physically into Academy City so I can stop it."
"But who are you? How do we get you in? What's Armageddon?" I asked her.
"I'm s-sorry. I'm br-breaking u-up." She said, and then it cut off, my phone going back to normal.
"What do you think that was about?" Misaka asked.
"I'm not sure. Whatever it was, we need to try and contact this girl again, see what's up."
"Agreed. Want me to see if Uiharu can help?"
"Please. That would be helpful." I said as she nodded and ran off.
Well, I was not expecting today to be THAT exciting…
xXxXxXxXx
Aaaaaand cliffhanger in the first chapter. I'm evil, I know. By the way, the 'phone girl' is not an original character. Also, Yuki's surname 'Kumiawase' is supposed (as this is google translate) Japanese for 'combination.' Took me a while to come up with a good one actually.

P.S. - Also, I'm really hoping this will be the mark of the last time I do generic images (either just still pictures or my profile pic) for the covers of any of my stories. I have started learning how to use Photoshop CS6 at the computers at my school, and the cover for this story is actually the first I started, and should be up tomorrow (Monday). All of my other stories will follow suite, with everything now having its own, unique design.
