To aru Kagaku no Railgun: Mikoto's Awakening

A/N: The main focus of this Chapter will be on Mikoto and Touma. It will also focus on what if Mikoto were to go into an "Awakened State". The only hint I'll give on that it is sort of like that of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde or like a split personality of sorts. You'll see what I mean or at least I hope you do. Dark Matter plays a role in this chapter and that's the only other spoiler I'm giving. Also it focuses on How Mikoto feels towards Touma. Please don't hate me for what I do to Touma and Mikoto in this chapter. Mikoto doesn't fully awaken do the events of this chapter and won't for a little while. Please Note that my O.C., Wolf, is really only a Level 5 Esper that was Classified as a Level 6 Esper due to experiments that were performed on him. Please Also note that Mikoto only surprises Kakine with her "Awakened State". That's why their fight was short.

'Thoughts/thinking'

"Talking"

Chapter One: Mikoto's Awakened State?

Mikoto walked into Seventh Mist Mall to meet up with a certain spiky haired idiot. Why they were there was simple. Something that Mikoto Misaka had no idea why or how she gotten herself into in the first place. That something was a date.

'How in the name of science did I get myself into this situation? We were just talking at the place where that vending machine stole my money, and all that Idiot did was ask that damn question. Touma Baka.' She wondered as she arrived at the spot where they were supposed to meet 5 minutes early. 'Stupid Idiot. I might as well get this over with and enjoy it. I just hope that Baka doesn't ruin today with his usual "misfortune".' She heard someone call out her name. She looked and was greeted with the epitome of misfortune himself, Touma Kamijou.

"Hey Mikoto." Touma said. "Did I keep you waiting?" He asked.

"No." Mikoto replied. "You're actually early for once."

"That's good." He said as they started walking. "Where do you want to go first today?"

"How bout we grab a bite to eat." She replied with a small smile. "I'm hungry and it is noon."

"Alright." He said as they walked to the café on the third floor. When they arrived a waitress sat them at a table and took their orders. Mikoto felt annoyed a little bit since the waitress was hitting a bit with Touma.

'Am I really annoyed with this waitress hitting on the idiot like that? Do I really see more as a friend' she thought to herself with a very small blush on her face as the waitress took their orders. When she left, Touma brought up an interesting topic of conversation. Her brother.

"So do you have an older brother?" He asked curiously.

"Yeah I do." She replied. "So what about him?"

"Tell me about him a little bit." He asked interested. "I'm actually surprised you have a brother. Is he an esper too?"

"Well there's not really much I can tell you about him." Mikoto said with a sad smile. "He wasn't home much and I barely saw him. The only reason why He is a level 6 Esper is because of the experiments that were performed on him when we were kids. There are only a few weaknesses I'm familiar with and only two of his major ones to be honest."

"What are these two weaknesses that you know of?" Touma asked.

"The first major weakness I know of is that the chains wrapped around his left arm and shoulder restricts how many abilities and how power he can actually use. There are six locks that keep the chains from falling off and together. The locks also restrict his power level. The 6 locks are to keep him at level 0 with the use of three abilities. Five locks are to keep him at level 1 with four abilities. Four locks keep him at level 2 with 6 abilities. Three Locks are to keep him at Level 3 with 7 abilities. Two locks keep him at Level 4 with 9 abilities. One Lock keeps him at level 5 with 10 abilities, and zero locks enable him to be Level 6 with all 11 abilities intact. But the locks can only stay off for a limited amount of time. Once that certain amount of time is up, then the locks automatically lock back onto the chains." Mikoto explained. "The second major weakness I know of is that his abilities can act as double-edge swords. The reason why his abilities act like this is because if he overuses them, then they will negatively affect him in different ways. That's according to what my father and Wolf told me." She had a sad look on her face.

"Even when I first met him when I was eight years old, he always secluded himself from the rest of the family. Dad would always that He would tell me more about Wolf and his past when I get older and I still haven't been told a thing. All I know is that his actual family was killed in a freak accident and that he was put through a series of experiments here in Academy City known as Project DIVINE 6 since he was 5 years old until he was ten. That's all I really know about him personally."

"All I know about Project DIVINE 6 was that it has been one of many experiments used in attempt to create a Level 6 Esper. Though he's classified as a level 6, He isn't considered a true Level 6. From what he told me, the people involved with Project Divine 6 claimed him to be a prototype and the first step in creating a true Level 6 Esper. They also referred to him as being a pseudo-Level 6 Esper, or a false level 6 Esper."

"So what levels would you actually or accurately classify him as?" Touma asked now very intrigued.

"A high level 5 at best." Mikoto answered. "Since his abilities levels vary at different levels between levels 2-5 and only 3 of them are at Level 5 abilities." She paused for a moment. "Look, can we talk about something else… My big brother is really not a popular subject I really like to talk about."

"Alright." He said before taking a minute to think. He wasn't given a chance to talk again as he heard the familiar voice of a certain leader of Academy City's gang known as SCHOOL and the Number 2 Level 5 Esper in Academy City, Kakine Teitoku. Also known as Dark Matter.

'Well look what we have here." Kakine said with a cocky smile. "The Railgun and her excuse of a boyfriend, Imagine Breaker. Normally I would attempt flat out destroy you for foiling my plans from before, but since I'm here on business, I'll let you off the hook for now, but only if Railgun comes with me."

"What do you want with me?" Mikoto asked as she glared at him.

"For now, that's none of your concern." Kakine said. "I don't want you, since you're the test subject, to get damaged before the test begins. I'm just on orders from our General Superintendent of this city."

"What if I don't want to go?" Mikoto responded. She said as a spark of electricity flashed in the air next to her forehead.

"Then I would be forced to begin the experiment early." He said as he pulled out a syringe with a needle attached to it. Inside the glass syringe, was a blue liquid. The words that were labeled on it were read as this: "Hyde Formula- Original Formula" in bold letters. "So if you don't want any trouble, I'd suggest you come quietly." Touma held his arm protectively in front of her.

"Mikoto isn't going anywhere." Touma said. "Whatever you're planning doesn't sound good. Coming from you that is and I think Mikoto has stated that she wants no part of the Superintendent's plan of his so back off."

"I told you that I didn't want any conflict, but now you've forced my hand." Kakine said as he moved at an incredible speed and back handed Touma in the head, knocking him to the side and wasted no time as he kneed Mikoto in the stomach and kicked her into a wall, which knocked the wind out of her.

He quickly pinned her to it, took the syringe and stabbed it into Mikoto's upper arm, injecting all of the blue liquid into her blood stream. He didn't have enough time to avoid the electrical surge that Mikoto forced out as he was painfully, but mildly zapped with electricity at close to point blank range. He let go of her and the syringe before jumping back a safe distance and letting out a small grunt of pain and annoyance. She dropped to her knees before passing out as he notice the liquid seemed to be taking an instant effect.

He then turned his attention to Touma. "Now that's out of the way and my part with that experiment is over, I can now freely destroy you, Imagine Breaker." He said as he saw Touma rushing at him with his right hand ready to strike. Kakine simply took a step back, easily evading Touma's Imagine Breaker and kneed Touma in the stomach. "I've studied up on you. I know that your Imagine Breaker can negate my Esper Abilities, but I notice it doesn't apply the same in a good old-fashioned fight, so I decided if I can't use my Esper Abilities to win, then I just have to destroy you physical in a street fight." He explained with a dark smile as he then elbowed Touma in the back, causing the Level 0 to drop to the ground in pain.

Kakine then proceeded to grab Touma by the back of the shirt and threw him into the closest pillar, before grabbing him by the front of the shirt, pinned him to the pillar, and the brutally punched him in the face continuously with an occasional knee to knee to the gut. After about 5 punches or so, Kakine took Touma's right arm and broke it before he dropped Touma to the floor as Touma scream and writhed in pain before passing out.

Meanwhile in Mikoto's Conscious:

"Where am I?" Mikoto asked herself and no one in particular as she found herself in a void of blackness.

"You're in your subconscious." A slightly husky feminine voice said as it echoed around her.

"Who are you and where are you." Mikoto asked confused.

"I am you." The voice answered. "Or at least part of you. I've always been here, but we have never had the chance to actually talk. Right now, you have to let me take over for now and let me deal with this guy. I can help you and stop him from hurting you're boyfriend any further."

"Wait he's not my…" Mikoto started to say but was cut off as the voice spoke again.

"No time for arguing." The voice demanded a little harshly. "Just let your conscious fall asleep and let me take over for a bit."

"Oh alright then…" Mikoto said a little unsure but did as she was told. "But please save Touma." She added before letting her conscious fall asleep.

"Now time for some fun." The voice said with a dark chuckle.

Back in the Mall:

Kakine was about to deliver the final blow but was turned his attention to the huge surge of electrical power behind him. "What the hell." He said as saw Mikoto standing right up. But want surprised him was the fact that there were a few things that off about her. For starters, her physical appearance was now slightly taller, maybe half a head taller than Touma and it took the appearance of a 17-18 year old teenaged girl and that her body was more fully developed with a very attractive figure. Her eye color had changed from a light hazel-brown to a dull deep blue. The thing that fully caught Kakine's attention was the single electrical dark blue wing sprouting out of her left shoulder. Her voice surprised him as well as it was full of dark and malicious intent. Her voice was slightly huskier.

"Since I have places to be, Kakine." She said darkly. "I'll leave you with this parting gift for now."

'Could this be the effects of the Hyde Formula kicking in?' He thought to himself before Mikoto moved at blinding speeds and hit him in the stomach with a ball of compacted electricity, which sent him flying out of Seventh Mist Mall and into the ally way across the street. He got up and began to wonder what the heck just happened to the Railgun. The said individual picked up the unconscious Touma and took him to the hospital unnoticed as Judgment began to show up.
