Chapter One
"Hi! This is what happend when you're downloading a large game, and boredom strikes xD. A crossover between my favorite anime and favorite game, hope you guys enjoy. Nothing to serious happens in this first chappie, as I want to get into the swing of things. I might continue this sometime in the futur, if i have nothing to do xD. Well, without further ado...
The cold winter blew across Academy City as the sun rose high above the sky, shining its morning rays on the world below. It was the beginning of winter, the coldest time of the year. The snow sparkled as the bright light shined upon it. The inhabitants of the city, however, paid no mind to the chilly air and the beautiful snow that covered most of the ground. Bustling among the people in the streets was one certain hazel colored haired girl, who was among of the seven strongest espers of Academy City. Her name was Misaka Mikoto.
Wearing a purple colored sweater, pure white scarf, orange pleated skirt, knee high brown boots, and to top it all off, a brown purple flat cap, Mikoto strolled along the street. She was meeting with her friends on Seventh Heaven, a nearby mall. Winter vacation just started, and she was delighted to take a break from the hectic life of a middle schooler.
This feels really great, Mikoto thought, stretching her arms as she walked. She had been waiting for this day. A peaceful, normal day was, unknown to most people, quite rare for Mikoto, who not only studies at one of the most prestigious school in Academy City that is Tokiwadai, she was also a Level 5, meaning Mikoto was among the most powerful espers in Academy City, third in particular. An electromaster, she was quite famous for her young age. A lot of people: her classmates, friends, teachers and many other had this perfect image of her, which was quite a burden. This only added to her status as an ojou-sama, and people around her respected and adored her. At her school, it was almost always the latter.
This brought to mind one particular esper, who was infatuated, nay, obsessed with her. A Level 4 esper with the power of teleportation. The auburn, ponytailed young lady who was almost always latched onto Mikoto, seemingly never wanting to let go and always drooling as she rubs her face against Mikoto's chest. This obsessed young lady, who goes by the name of Kuroko Shirai, was one of among Mikoto's closest friends. A "friend", as Mikoto puts it. She did not want to tread the line she knew she would have to cross someday. She was young, and does not fully comprehend the feelings the young teleporter had for her.
Though to be fair, Mikoto wasn't the only one who was obsessed with someone, even though Mikoto's was for an entirely different reason.
A certain spiky haired boy entered Mikoto's mind as she reminisces all the times the Level 5 electromaster challenged the former to a duel. A Level 0, yet having the power to negate Mikoto's, and she presumes, everyone else's power, Kamijou Touma was the person whom she was thinking of most of the time.
Wait, I didn't mean it that way. Mikoto thought as she felt her face get warmer. She merely saw the idiot as her rival. Yes, and idiot, as Mikoto remembers all the mess Touma got into, always saving someone in the process. And yes, a rival, for even though the said idiot was a Level 0, he did have a unique ability that proved troublesome against those he faced, Mikoto in particular.
I wonder when I'll see him again, Mikoto thought, before blushing furiously. Th-that wasn't what I meant! I was looking forward to our next fight, that's all!
Mikoto shook her head furiously. I shouldn't be having these thoughts. She thought to herself as she continued walking.
She was nearing her destination now. They were meeting at a coffee shop at the said mall. Mikoto quickened her pace, excited to see her friends. She had not seen them for quite some time, since the semester started. She had been busy with school work, and had no time for rest and relaxation. Being the "Ace of Tokiwadai", it wasn't an easy life.
As she passed a dark alley, something caught her eye. A flash of blue light caught Mikoto's attention. She slowed down to a stop, turning to her left as she wondered what it was. Blue mist began to shroud the dark, narrow alley before quickly dissipitating. Odd, Mikoto thought. She had passed this alley quite a few times whenever she went to the mall, yet this was the first time something like this happened.
Curious, Mikoto took a step forward. Peering into the darkness, her eyes widened as she felt a chill run down her spine. A sharp pain ran through her head, and Mikoto knelt down, clutching her head. A minute passed, and the throbbing pain won't go away. Undeterred, she took another step forward before collapsing.
Mikoto felt a huge pressure on her back, forcing her face down onto the cold, frozen pavement. The pain in her head intensified, and Mikoto felt like her head was going to burst open. What is this? she thought as she tries to get up. It hurts...ahh...it...hurts so...much.
Make..it...stop... Down on one knee, Mikoto began to compose herself. The pain only got worst as Mikoto took a step forward. She felt like vomiting. Her hands were shaking, her knees wobbly, as she moved ever closer to the darkness. Slowly but surely, Mikoto pushed forward. I have to find out what's going on!
Suddenly, a voice rang through her head, Do you...fear...death?
Mikoto felt her hands, knees, and feet go numb. She falls down once again on the cold floor. She raises her head and looks up, wanting to see, curious to know, desperate to see, what caused all this strange occurences as she felt her consciousness slowly fade.
A pale hand reached out to her. Mikoto tries to raise her hand, and fails. Squinting, she tried to see who it was.
Time never waits.
It delivers all equally to the same end.
You, who wish to safeguard the future,
however limited it may be...
You will be given one year;
go forth without falter,
with your heart as your guide...
That was the last thing Mikoto heard before falling asleep.
