If you have any questions there is a particularly an. at the bottom.

The great city

I yelled out for Accelerator as he fell towards the ground. While he was immune to all physical attacks the mages soon figured out that his mind was vulnerable. The magician in front of him grew a crazed smile at being able to take down the mighty Accelerator. She points her staff at me and I raise my hand, and even though I don't see anything I hear the sound of her magic breaking. Before she can mutter another incantation I dash forward and punch her across the jaw probably breaking it and knocking her unconscious. Then I reach for the gun at my side, and finish the job.

My name is Kamijou Touma and I am a pretty unlucky guy. Two years ago magicians attacked academy city. They killed a lot of people. Once every body in the city realized what was happening the result was immediate. Outrage. All of the city's level 5s gathered, even the anti social Accelerator as they along with Me, Index, Tschimicado and the director planned our counter attack.

That was 2 years ago. I'm currently sitting in the sick bay with my still unconscious comrade. I take a moment to reflect on the current situation because its not often these days that I get time to myself. The war we're fighting is different from any other. Not just because of the magic and esper abilities but mostly because both sides have two completely different goals. The magicians seek victory in a frontal assault. Their strategy seems to be to kill our strongest espers and then destroy the city and kill everyone else. To them we are only heretics and heathens that must be destroyed. While we are all in one place with the exception of Teitoku's forces, the magicians that were fighting are the Roman Catholics and the Russian Orthodox church which are spread throughout the world and are very hard to track down. It seems impossible to kill them all so our strategy is to destroy their monasteries and churches. Their powers either rely on specific rituals, religious items, or religious places so if we can destroy as many of them as possible it will reduce their numbers to a more manageable state.

My thoughts are disturbed when the door opens and a pretty girl with blond hair walks in. She turns to me and asks, "How long has he been out?"

"Uh, about 20 minutes i think."

She sighs, "He's been out for 20 minutes and I don't find out till now." She lets out an audible sigh. "Stay quiet or leave I'm about to start." she pulls out a chair and sits next to accelerator's bed. This woman is Misaki Shoukuhou, often referred to as the "queen". She is ranked 4th among academy cities level 5s. With her ability "mental-out" she often finds herself here in the infirmary treating espers suffering from mental attacks. Before the war she used to radiate confidence and beauty. While she is still beautiful she no longer has her former air of confidence. If one looks closely you can see the bags under her eyes from all the sleepless nights.

The war has changed everyone in someway. How could it not? We're a bunch of teenagers and children fighting a war against the power of god. We've all seen things that we should never have to, our friends' charred corpses and the look on the faces of the magicians we've killed, and ourselves changing from who we once were.

After a moment queen opens her eyes and turns to me while walking out the door, "The damage was light so there shouldn't be any lasting effects. However, he should still be out for the rest if the day. Is there anything else you need commander?"

I shake my head, "No. That's all, thanks for your help Misaki." she nods and walks out, I leave behind her.

I take my coat and shoes off as I arrive at my apartment and proceed to throw myself on my bed. The clock reads 12:30 pm and I think about today. Well yesterday. 3 different magician attacks. Ever since last week the attacks have been getting more frequent. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I'll ask Index what she thinks in the morning. I roll over and look at the sleeping nun on the other side of the bed, biting the cat in her sleep. Index has got to be the person that's changed the least. She's still the same bright girl as always, obsessed with eating and always trying to help others.

I close my eyes and begin to drift off to sleep, but right before can relax I hear a panicked voice in my head 'commander! There are two magicians approaching the western gate! What are your orders?'

I sigh and get out of bed trying not to wake Index. I try my best to project my thoughts even though I know that she could pick up even my most subconscious feelings, 'is Accelerator up yet?' I put on my jacket and shoes.

'No sir. He's still unconscious' she pauses waiting for my response

I sigh tiredly looking back at index as I leave, 'then tell Mikoto to meet me at the west gate' I think as I leave my apartment.

I walk down the street perhaps a little too calm seeing as I was headed to battle. Again. Of the three attacks today I fought in 2 of them so one more is not really a big deal. As I walk I look up at the purple night sky filtered through the giant telekinetic shield protecting the city. Of the 736,000 powered espers in academy city telekinesis is the most common ability, with almost 30,000 telekinetic espers between levels 1-4. (pyro kenetick's are a close second.) I look at one of the many towers around the outside of the city. Before the war I had never noticed them but now there almost impossible to ignore. The towers were made for the purpose of amplifying and focusing psychic power in order to generate the shield protecting the city. Between the 30,000 telekinetic espers 500 are needed to run the psychic field running at enough power to block Misaka's rail gun. For safety though at all times there are around 3,000 espers pouring their power into it.

As I approach the west gate I see Misaka standing with a bored look on her face. If index is the least changed Mikoto would be the most. The war has made her cold. Being one of the top 3 level 5s her power is called on often and that much violence has turned an innocent 14 year old girl in to cold blooded 16 year old. She's abandoned her school uniform in favor of long black jeans and a brown leather jacket with her now trademark sword hanging from her belt. Her hair is much longer now going down to the middle of her back, which is pretty long seeing as she's almost my height now.

She turns to me "Touma." it felt nice hearing my name. Now the only people that call me that are her, Tschimicado, and Index with most referring to me as 'commander'.

"Mikoto san, it's been a while. Maybe we can talk after we're done" she nodded with a slight smile. It's good to see her. "Are you ready?" her answer was putting her hand on her rapier handle and turning towards the force field.

The same voice rings in my head as before 'are you ready to head out?' I think back a confirmation. And after about 10 seconds a hole in the force field opens up enough for us to walk through and closes behind us.

I'm telepathically told the enemies location and Mikoto and I begin to walk there. Right before we get there Mikoto stops and turns to me. "What's the plan."

I pause for a second before answering, "well based on our intelligence there are two enemies and they don't seem to be advancing. They aren't trying to hide their presence, so it seems like they want us to come to them. It's either a trap, or an attempt to lure out you or Accelerator."

"So what do we do?"

I smirk, " if they want a fight then they're gonna get one. The pattern has been one close combat magician and one long range. You take out the close combat one and I'll take the ranged enemy."

We arrive at a clearing where there are two magicians waiting for us. One is a woman wearing the traditional Roman Catholic uniform of a black nun habit cut slightly above the knees with a white cross on the front. Her eyes were closed and she was holding a giant hammer that seemed to be at least twice her size. The other is a man wearing red robes with black crosses across them. He is covered completely from head to toe. The only skin showing is the tips of his fingers. We had come to know this as the style of the Russian Orthodox Church.

They seem to be standing there at the ready waiting for us to make the first move. I turn to Mikoto.

She studies them for a second. "Looks like I'll take the girl. Wouldn't want you to do anything perverted." she says with a smile.

I smile back "Right, wouldn't want you to get jealous eh Biribiri?" she blushes at the use of her child hood nickname and begins approaching the Catholic, pulling out her sword.

[Misaka pov]

It's been a while since I've had a good fight. Touma doesn't realize it but I've been waiting for this for a long time. I smile as I pull out my rapier, at first it seemed like a stupid gift from Kuroko to try and get into my pants, but now it's my most valued possession. Kuroko, god I miss her.

I clear my head of distracting thoughts as I near my opponent. She smirks in an over cocky way at me. Does she not know who I am? I thrust my sword at her and through the copper core of the blade launch a concentrated bolt of electricity, before it can hit her she raises her hammer like it weighed nothing to block. My shot disappears upon impact with the object. Of course it's insulated. Well that's fine, nowadays I prefer to fight close range anyway.

I dash forward. She tries to bat me away before I can get in close but I'm able to magnetize the ground under me to repel me into the air. I land about two feet in front of her, far to close for her hammer to be effective. Even with her eyes closed I can tell that she's distressed. Who wouldn't be when faced with the blood princess of academy city?

I stab my sword through the hand holding her hammer channeling a small amount of electricity to my strike. The hammer immediately hits the ground. She tries to back up and run away but I'm too fast. Before she can get far I stab her in both of her thighs and she falls to the ground screaming. I stab her again this time in the shoulder and revel in her high-pitched cries of pain. I stab her in the stomach and hear another cry while a small stream of blood sprays on my face. And then I stab her again, and again with a wild smile on my face, until it all becomes a blur of screaming and blood. Eventually she stopped screaming. I look down at the bloody lump of flesh that used to be a person. I bend down to rip off a dry part of her clothes and use it to clean my sword before sheathing it.

I hear a gunshot and turn to see Touma finishing up his fight. Before he can come over here I let lose a powerful blast of electricity to disintegrate the body. Everyone else thinks I'm a monster. Wouldn't want Touma to too. I try my best to keep my secret pleasures secret. I wipe some of the blood off of my face and smile walking up to him. Before walking toward home.

So how was it? I personally thought it was pretty ok. I this chapter seemed slow its only because i was trying to set up the world that there in and the situation. While Touma and Misaka will be the main characters and accelerator has airy role to play (along with the other lv 5s) this story as a whole is mainly about the city (as you can see from the title).

If you were looking for a fight scene then this last one probably seemed a bit short. Don't worry, this was if you noticed a really easy fight for Misaka.

That brings up another point about the lv5 powers. I haven't read all the light novels yet( i know shame on me) so I'm largely working with to to aru majitsu no index wiki. And also i will be embellishing their abilities quite a bit. They're not gonna be gods or anything (and everything has a weakness) but they will certainly be forces to be refined with, since as far as 'big guns' go the magicians have the saints. And if i didn't increase some powers by the time the story started academy city would be flattened with a nice new church sitting on top.

Well that's the end of that rant if you want to know more ask in the comments. If you liked it leave a comment. If you didn't like it leave comment. Cause I'm really exited about writing this story but if you guys don't like it then i might as well not post it.

Well anyway thanks for reading :d
