Level 5 and Level 5
Chapter 1
Level 5… The highest level one can reach the place where only the strong can be…
There are only 7 level 5 Espers in Academy City. That city is far more developed with Technology than any other place in Earth.
Level 5, the highest rank for the most powerful psychic users. Of course, it ranges from level 0 – 5. Those who are Level 0's, have no power of whatsoever. They are nothing but… ordinary beings.
Those 7 Espers, have 1 Electromaster among them. Misaka Mikoto. A 14 year old girl with the power of generating electricity, she is one of the top Espers, also known by the name, 'The Railgun'. She is ranked 3rd strongest out of 7 level 5 Espers in Academy City. She is also known by most people by the name of, 'Tokiwadai's Ace'.
Tokiwadai is one of the top elite and prestigious schools in Academy City. Although only girls can attend that school, only Espers can attend it. Not any Espers though. The entry requirement for the Esper ability must be Level 3 or higher. Other than that, no one can get into that school. Not even if they're from a royal family or whatsoever.
The most powerful Electromaster in Academy City, Misaka Mikoto, known for her signature move, Railgun, attends the prestigious school, Tokiwadai Middle School. Not only is she the school's Ace, but she is also the school's smartest student! Being part of the school, people take her as being an 'ojou-sama', though that's quite wrong… It's true that Tokiwadai is full of Esper ability students. But, most of them are from Royal families or have a Royal Background.
"Onee-sama ~" a soft 'raspy and sexy' moan came from a certain girl's mouth as she slowly crept to her 'Onee-sama'. The girl had tawny hair that was tied into two curly pig-tails, with the rest of her hair left to hang as two rows of fringes divided in the middle.
[That was what I was told to write but she's actually a short 13 year old girl that is a pervert ;)]
Shirai Kuroko. Best friend, partner and room mate of the famous Electromaster, Misaka Mikoto. Unlike Misaka, she is a Level 4 Esper but attends Tokiwadai as well. Her ability name is Teleport. With the power of teleporting anything including herself, she can teleport things and even people to other places in a split second! She is also part of the special public committee ground, Judgment.
Though I did say she was a pervert, she is a friendly and quite a laid-back kind of girl that would risk herself for her friends.
Kuroko slowly crept to hug Misaka on the bed… Misaka's bed, thinking that it was her chance…
Yeah, well it failed!
Misaka, who was sleeping soundly, noticed that something was touching her. Her eyes fluttered open immediately and without hesitation, she generated electricity from her body and sent it directly to Kuroko! Of course, she knew it was her so she didn't mind doing it at all.
"Kuroko!" she pushed her off the bed then sat straight up. Glaring at the currently fried girl on the floor as a vein popped on her head. Revealing her top, Misaka wore a pajama shirt colored in light green. She had chestnut brown short hair that reached until her shoulders. Her eyes, being the same color as her hair, shined through the rays of the sun.
Her face turned into a frown when she looked at Kuroko, only wearing a purple tank top and her panty… That was black in color…
Kuroko opened her mouth, only to pout. "Onee-sama, it's so early in the morning!" Ignoring the fact that, Misaka was staring at her.
Misaka sighed, annoyed by her actions and reluctantly got out of bed. Anyway, it was Monday morning so they had school today. Without a word, she rummaged through her closet, grabbed her towel and entered the bathroom. Leaving Kuroko satisfied with her response as she sat up and grinned.
[Time-skip]
Now that the 2 Espers were dressed in their school uniform, it was time for them to eat breakfast. After all, it was only 6:30 in the morning.
Misaka wore a small clip on the side of her hair, with as usual, her hair neatly down. She wore loose socks and brown loafers with a light brown vest sweater over her white blouse. Her skirt was colored dark grey that revealed her bare thighs.
As for Kuroko, it was similar to Misaka's, except that on her thighs, she secured a pair of black straps where she stores the metal spikes used to secure criminals.
When it comes to breakfast though, they usually go to their school's cafeteria to eat. But since school doesn't open until 7, they had no choice but to eat outside.
As both of them were walking towards their favorite downtown restaurant, Kuroko's cell phone suddenly rang. *Kuroko hurry!* that was her ringtone… Misaka sighed in disbelief towards her. Surprised that she would even record what she said like, weeks ago! Kuroko flinched at the sound of her ringtone. She quickly grabbed her phone from her bag and put it near her ear. "Un… Okay…" she put down her phone in disappointment. Before she could even utter a word to her best friend, Misaka knew what it was and nodded her head.
Kuroko on the other hand, didn't want to leave her. Today was not just any normal day… Misaka put on a brave front and assured her friend. "I'll be fine, go on without me." She gave a warm smile, before placing her hand on Kuroko's head. "Fine then…" Kuroko reluctantly surrendered to her, hesitantly teleporting herself to find her Judgment partner… In only a matter of seconds, she disappeared without a trace, leaving Misaka alone.
Now all alone, Misaka aimlessly wandered off to the restaurant she and Kuroko were originally heading to. "I'll be fine… huh?" she sighed at her own thoughts. She was lying when she said that… How could she even be fine at this kind of day? Maybe even Kuroko feels the same way as she does...
While walking aimlessly with her head hung down, staring at her shoes, scenes of that day suddenly entered her mind. She could vividly remember it all too well…
5 years ago, when Misaka was still 9 years old, she did something horrible…
Locked away in secret, she didn't have a normal childhood. If anything, she actually had a terrible one... Her parents had locked her in her own room, forbidding her to go outside. She didn't know the reason. Every time she tried to ask for the reason, they completely ignored her. Heck, it didn't even feel like a family at all… She didn't even know that she had the power to produce electricity at that time…
One day, she decided to run away. While her parents were away for work, her mother forgot to lock Misaka's room. Using that chance, Misaka ran away from home.
As she ran and ran, getting further and further away from the house, she came upon a 'playground'. She had never been outside once… for as long as she could remember anyway…
She met a young 8 year old girl. Shirai Kuroko.
That was the first time she interacted with a child around her age… heck, the only people she talked with before were always either her parents or relatives…
The young children soon befriended each other. They soon became so close together that Misaka kept coming to meet with her…
How? At that time, Kuroko knew about her own powers so she used it. Being taught by her grandmother, she was already a level 2 at the age of 8. I know, incredible. Every time Misaka's parents leaves the house, Kuroko would be outside and teleports the key to Misaka for her to get out.
But one day, Misaka's parents noticed her becoming more and more cheerful, being suspicious; they decided to pretend to leave.
"Papa, there's someone infront of our door step…" Misaka's mother muttered to her husband, Misaka's father. After a fairly amount of time waiting, Misaka finally left the house. Her parents, shocked by the scene that was happening in front of their own eyes, suddenly appeared in front of their daughter and Kuroko.
"M-Mama?" Misaka looked at her mother with fearful eyes. Her mother looked so scary and frightening in front of her… Just then, out of no where, she heard a loud yelp… Kuroko laid on the ground, blood dripping from the corner of her lips while her eyes were closed…
Behind her, was a knife on her back…? When Misaka looked at the person behind Kuroko, it was her father… He was grinning…
She was frozen right on the spot. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she looked at her helpless friend on the cold hard ground, blood coming out from the wound as it endlessly became a pool of blood around her friend… "No… Kuroko-chan…" thoughts were filled in her mind…
All of a sudden, her vision became black, she couldn't see anymore… She couldn't hear anything… She wasn't thinking anymore… All she could smell was the scent of blood…
A strange feeling suddenly overwhelmed her… Hatred…?
She slowly raised her hand up to the air… Her parents, not knowing what she was doing, ignored her. Misaka silently muttered some words in a low and dark voice… Her eyes were hidden behind her bangs. The blood from Kuroko now touching her shoes…
It was only a matter of time…
She approached her fallen friend and stood next to her. She immediately looked at her parents, showing her eyes, full of hatred and… it looked… as if … she was dead…
Clouds started to darken… Then it was followed with rain and loud thunders… Now wet, Misaka looked at Kuroko…
It was time…
Electricity suddenly generated from her body. Her hand rose up to the air, a huge bolt of lightning suddenly shot down to Misaka…
Unharmed by it at all, she muttered silently… "Shi ne…"
A huge and gigantic force field engulfed her parents, kuroko and as well as herself. Her parents quickly tried to cover their eyes from the blinding light that was emitting out from Misaka's body….
In a split second, everything was burning…
When she opened her eyes slowly, she found herself unharmed… 2 bodies were in front of her. Both burned… The house was burning… Everything was burning except herself and… Kuroko…
She looked below her, only to find herself in a pool of blood. She looked at her clothes… covered in blood…
Her mind couldn't take it… Her body couldn't either… It was too much for her to take in…
"That wasn't my fault…" Misaka muttered under her breath as she shook her head. After that incident, she was ultimately traumatized by it and was sent to Academy City where she could be monitored. Records before that incident took place were deleted. Her parents were killed by her very own hands… Somehow, Kuroko managed to survive that horrible incident for some reason… After finding out what really happened, Kuroko found out that she was a level 4 at the time… But, she couldn't control her powers well enough yet. But, when she saw Kuroko… She completely lost herself and unleashed a huge amount of power… resulting in everything being burned down to flames…
Today marked the day of when that incident happened. So of course, it was not a normal day for both the Espers…
Misaka sighed as she looked at the blue azure sky. "If only he was still here…" she mumbled to herself. Trying to forget about the memory that was juggling her mind…
A force of impact suddenly hit her from the front, causing her to fall from behind and land on her butt. "Ite!" she whined as she felt the pain on her butt as she landed with a loud thud. Her eyes fluttered open as she readied herself to shock the person who did that to her with her electricity. "Watch where you're –" her eyes widened in shock as she looked at the person standing right in front of her… Her mouth now agape as she let a small tear escape from her eye…
"Why…are you… here?"
