Heya! I'm back! I don't know if my updates are long or what, I'm too busy to think about that… oh well, allow me to clarify some stuff about last chapter.

First, what's happening is NOT ENTIRELY a memory phenomenon. So this doesn't have a direct relation to "Forgotten" by ArmoredCoreNineBall. (Greetings to that person!) But I do read that specific story though, along with other (meaning a lot of) great fics of To aru Majutsu no Index and To aru Kagaku no Railgun.

Second, if you want to know what it really is, then read this chapter and the next one.

Wow, that was stupid… anyways, here it is! The first part of the unraveling! … Okay, I'll shut up now. Please enjoy!

Chapter 12

"- Onee-sama! Do you understand what I am trying to say?"

Kuroko rambled as she stood in front of her senior, who was sitting on a chair while Uiharu treated some of her scratches.

"Yeah, yeah…" Mikoto waved her off. She was starting to get annoyed. After the fight, Kuroko had teleported back, along with Uiharu, but alas, the girl was nowhere to be found. So after filing a case, much to Mikoto's annoyance, they went to the office to let Mikoto rest. But as one could imagine, she couldn't rest at all. Kuroko had been talking and talking non-stop for about two hours now, and she still wasn't finished.

"UGH! Onee-sama! You are Tokiwadai's pride and joy! Never mind the reputation; you are a girl and a civilian! You should know better than-"

"Maa, maa, Shirai-san. As long as Misaka-san is safe, everything's fine right?"

Uiharu asked as she smiled at her friend.

"Uiharu! How dare you consolidate Onee-sama's actions! As a member of Judgment, you should be on my side in this argument!" Kuroko shouted angrily.

"Shirai-san, I'm not taking sides here. Yes, what Misaka-san did is against common law-"

"See! You said it yourself! What she did was wrong!" Kuroko asked pointing a finger at her, making Mikoto feel more irritated as she sat in silence.

"Please let me finish Shirai-san! Misaka-san may be wrong, but she did what was best at the moment. We don't know who the culprit was, she may have been something only one of the level 5's of this city can handle."

"But even so-!"

"Kuroko! Fine, I get it. I'm sorry okay?" Mikoto said standing up, shaking off Uiharu's arm, which was tending to her right hand. "I already know I was wrong, so can we please just move on?"

"Onee-sama! This is not just a matter of 'moving on', as you call it. This is Judgment and Academy City's peace we are talking about!"

"So you won't shut up even if I tell you that I'll go out with you?" Mikoto asked as a sly smile was on her face. Kuroko's eyes turned into hearts as her mouth began watering. Mikoto laughed before continuing.

"With Saten-san and Uiharu-san as well of course." Those words shattered Kuroko's imagination, making Mikoto and Uiharu laugh.

"Way to shatter Shirai-san's illusions Misaka-san." Uiharu commented.

"Shatter…illusions?" Mikoto suddenly muttered out, breaking from her laughter. Kuroko, after recovering from their earlier…predicament, shook her head and looked at Mikoto.

"What is it Onee-sama?" she asked worriedly.

"Huh? Oh…it's nothing I guess. I just suddenly thought that 'Shatter illusions' should mean something to me."

"What kind of meaning would that corny line mean to you, Onee-sama? Please don't tell me that's a line from one of those kiddy shows of yours." Kuroko asked, narrowing her eyes on her senpai. Mikoto immediately blushed and tried to argue it off, while Uiharu just smiled as she watched.

"Then maybe it's the catch phrase of her boyfriend!"

A familiar voice suddenly said. The three girls turned their heads and saw Saten Ruiko, behind Uiharu, flipping her skirt.

"S-S-S-SATEN-SAN!"

"Yo!"

That was the common greeting, whenever the four of them met up, Mikoto smiled while Kuroko sighed, they had gotten used to it, but it's still kinda weird. After a while of bickering, mostly on Uiharu's part, they managed to steer the conversation back to the topic at hand.

"Anyway, what were you saying when you came in Saten-san?" Uiharu asked as she brought tea to the table for everyone. Mikoto blushed and blurted out her tea.

"YEAH! You said something about me having a b-b-b-b-b"

"Boyfriend?" Kuroko said, watching Mikoto from the corner of her eye, as she sipped her tea gracefully. Mikoto rapidly bobbed her head up and down.

"Ah? That? I just read it from a site." She answered with a playful smile.

"Really Saten-san, you should stop reading those stuff. It will corrupt your brain one way or another." Kuroko said.

"It already has Shirai-san…" Uiharu said whimpering as comical tears ran down her face.

"Yeah well, a lot of topics about Misaka-san came up so I decided to read a bit."

"About me?" Mikoto asked. Now everyone was keen on hearing the conversation.

"Yeah, actually, the original threads date back to about three years ago. It was about Misaka-san having a boyfriend. The person who posted it said that he heard and saw a girl from Tokiwadai rampaging on the street trying to kill a spiky haired high school boy. The girl kept on shouting obscene terms, until the Railgun had enough, shocked the girl, apologized for the damage caused and left, while the boy carried the girl. I guessed that the girl was Shirai-san, am I right?"

"Well, Kuroko would probably do that…but…3 years ago? I haven't even met her then! I was probably still on the final tiers of my level 5 power development. Besides, I was 11 back then! How on earth could I have a boyfriend when I was just a child?!" Mikoto wondered.

"I know, that was the weird thing Misaka-san, that post…it was from the future."

Saten answered seriously. The other girls' minds were filled with different thoughts.

"Wait, wait, you lost me there. From the future? What sort of nonsensical crap is this?"

Mikoto asked as she stood up. Uiharu hobbled off to her computer and began typing away.

"I don't know Misaka-san, but have you checked your phone? You too Shirai-san." Both girls shook their heads as they began taking out both their phones and checked the date.

"What the-?! This is… 3 years from the future!" Kuroko remarked.

"What is this? Did we subconsciously travel through time or something?!" Mikoto added. Saten could only shrug her shoulders and sigh.

"Ah! I found it!" Uiharu suddenly shouted, all the girls were huddled around her in an instant.

Level 5 Love Interest?!

The Railgun, or the 3rd strongest level 5 as we know her, is officially dating someone! I heard it myself, on the streets of District 11; from a Tokiwadai girl on a rampage. I don't really know her, but she might be the "Judgment Terror Teleporter" or the "Teleporter from Hell", still the two are the same person, so it doesn't matter what you call her. Anyway, she kept on trying to assault and kill a high school guy who had spiky hair. She called him "Ape, Barbarian, Molesting B-st-rd, retarded jack ass, perverted f****r" and a whole lot more. The Railgun got tired of shouting after a while and just shocked the other girl senseless, she apologized and paid for the damage they caused and left, with the boy carrying the other girl. And get this, from what I heard; the boy is a LEVEL 0!

-Is the guy a 'legend' too?

-Dunno, maybe yes, maybe no.

-Who's the lucky b-st-rd who won the level 5's heart?

-Dunno, but he really doesn't consider himself lucky. He kept on shouting 'Such Misfortune' the whole time.

-LOVE TRIANGLE!

-Aww, I wanted to ask her out!

"One of the early discussions made me throw up." =_= Mikoto.

"Aw, our love has supporters online Onee-sama!" +_+ Kuroko.

"That's not the issue here Shirai-san!" '=_= Uiharu.

Saten stifled out a laugh before focusing her attention on the monitor.

"Hmm, that's odd… this was only 200,000++ when I saw it about an hour ago…"

"THAT FAST?!" The other three girls reacted. They slumped back on the couch and sighed.

"What on earth is happening? Why am I involved in this?" Mikoto cursed.

"Setting that aside, it seems like we are 3 years in the future… So thinking about it, I and Uiharu would be 16, Saten-san would be nearly 17, and Onee-sama, would be either 17 or 18… so 3 years back from then would be now right?" Kuroko asked as she massaged her temples and nose bridge.

"Yes…but why is this happening, and why are we in our 3 years past bodies if the time frame we're in is the correct one?" Uiharu asked.

"I don't know, but considering the fact that Misaka-san is 17 or 18, the possibility of her being in a university is pretty high." Saten remarked.

"Why would you say that Saten-san?" Mikoto asked as she rose from her earlier slumping position on the couch to face the girl opposite of her.

"Well, if what we all said is correct, then shouldn't you be a 2nd year high school student? Maybe…just maybe, something happened, so you were forced to skip years… the thing that I'm wondering about is your 'supposed boyfriend'."

"Okay, now that one is utterly impossible Saten-san. Onee-sama? Have a boyfriend? That's the same as believing in magic and angels!"

Kuroko said with a sigh. A light lit up in their minds, but it immediately went dull. They looked at one another, while each was deep in thought.

"Was…that supposed to mean something?" Saten asked tilting her head to the side.

"I don't know… But I do feel like it does…" Uiharu answered as she racked her brain from some answers. Kuroko put a finger to her chin, as something came to mind.

"Wait, Onee-sama and I found ourselves in a University Clinic… if Onee-sama is a freshman…then that means she skipped 2 years… Uiharu! Check anyone in the database who is 16 years old, a level 0, and has spiky black hair!"

Kuroko commanded, Uiharu took her laptop and begun her search.

"Uh, not a single match Shirai-san…" Uiharu said dejectedly. Everyone else sighed in defeat, lacking their conviction.

"3 years in the future, remember?" a voice whispered into Mikoto's ear.

"Wait…we're three years in the future right? Try searching for someone who is between 19 and 20!" Mikoto suggested. Without waiting for a reply, Uiharu had already begun her search.

'That voice… who was it?' Mikoto thought in her mind. Meanwhile, Uiharu was preoccupied with searching. After a few seconds, her face brightened up.

"One match found Misaka-san!" she shouted happily. She plugged her laptop to a projector and turned off the lights with a remote. A few seconds later, the picture of a boy with spiky black hair, with seemingly droopy raven eyes appeared. He wore a black jacket over a gray shirt with orange streaks. His name capitalized in bold letters beside it. Mikoto's eyes widened, as a surge of a weird emotion came and filled her heart. She gripped her chest as she uttered his name, a smile making it way to her lips.

"Kamijou Touma…" she said, with a brilliant glint in her eyes.


"Achoo!"

Kamijou Touma sneezed and rubbed his nose as they sat on a plane. He and the socially proclaimed blonde-haired idiot were currently half way around the planet, on their way to Worcestershire, England.

"Catching a flu are we Kami-yan?" His friend remarked.

"Ugh, shaddup Tsuchimikado. Someone must've been missing me."

"Missing you? That would probably be Misaka-chan, wouldn't you think so?" he said with a sly grin on his face. Tsuchimikado just loved pulling Touma's sock off. The earlier comment made the latter blush and turn away.

"When will you ever stop being a b-st-rd Tsuchimikado…"

"Never and I'm proud of that."

"Jerk."

"Thank you. Anyway, Kami-yan, I think you should know something." He begun seriously. Touma sat up. He looked around and noticed that almost, if not all, the passengers were asleep.

"What is it?"

"The moment we left Academy City, something was triggered."

"What?! What's happening over there?! Ugh, I'm just gonna call Mi-" Touma said taking out his phone, until Tsuchimikado stopped him.

"Call Misaka-chan?" he asked. "Don't be stupid. You know what happens when you use a phone in very delicately high altitudes Kami-yan. We're gonna crash if you do that."

"But what happened to Mikoto, Fukiyose, and everyone else?"

"They're fine. I used a bit of magic to at least trace if their okay or not. It would be dangerous if something happened to Cielo Elizel Y'l Vlad while we were away."

"She has a name Tsuchimikado. What you said wasn't hers."

"I know, I was referring to her battle mode when I said that. Anyway, Misaka-chan probably got into a simple run-in with an enemy-"

"Magician or ESPer?" Touma asked, interrupting him.

"None of the above nyaa~"

"What the hell is tha—Oh God, please don't tell me…." Touma said face-palming, upon realizing the truth.

"Yup, she fought an angel. The second generation, to be precise."

"What the hell is 'second generation' supposed to mean?"

"Well, Vlad is the first, who lived in the 14th century. Vedlore is probably the second, seeing as she is in between Vlad and Misaka-chan. And obviously, Misaka Mikoto is the third generation."

"Vedlore? Who the hell is Vedlore?"

"Zeniax Yvette Vedlore. That's the name of Vlad's split personality."

"What?"


"Wow, never thought that he'd be the one to notice us, Ave." a caped figure said as he sat on a chair, cross-legged.

"Well, what can I say Mil? Humans of today are quite intriguing. Though they can be a royal pain in the nicker's butt."

Another man, Ave as he was called, in the same cape design said as he sat beside him.

"What's next then?" the first man, Mil, as he was called, asked, looking over beside him, only to see his friend smiling at him.

"Have you gotten senile Mil? Of course there's only one reasonable thing to do."

He said as he stood up and took off the hood of his cape, revealing slightly wavy strands of ash blonde hair, paired with emerald green eyes, sparkling with excitement.

"I'm going to meet up with Cielo of course."

"Already? But Cielo is still stuck inside that girl's body and she doesn't remember anything because of Magna Valera."

"Yes, I know, but right now, all the hindrances have been removed. All the anomalies have been erased. Nothing can stop me from getting Cielo back."

"The only real hindrance was that boy you know."

"Tch, don't even remind me of him. What was his name again? It was Ka-Ka- what was it again Mil?"

"Kamijou Touma. The Imagine Breaker person."

"Ah yes, the Imagine Breaker. Now I remember. Things are going according to plan, he went out of the land of sinners and in a matter of minutes, he'll be trapped in the Kingdom. Cielo will be defenseless due to loss of manna, no one can destroy Magna Valera, and her human container is failing."

"Sigh, I know you're happy, but try not to lose your pants in the middle of it, Ave."

"Lose my pants? Was I supposed to think green thoughts or something?"

"No you idiot. I meant, try not to get over confident. We still don't know what that boy is capable of, he might just be able to stop us in time."

"Magna Valera is doing fine Mil. Now, can I go out and have some fun?"

Ave asked as he gave Mil his signature puppy dog eyes and begged. Mil rolled his eyes and turned his head.

"Fine, I've got nothing more to do with this. I'll go back to Worcestershire."

"Thanks for helping me, and lending Zeniax to me, Mil."

"Don't get sentimental on me now Ave. Just…make sure…. That this time, you can have your happily ever after okay? With Cielo of course."

"Yeah, you can count on that, thanks again, Mil."

Ave said as he watched Mil stand up and suddenly disappear. He stared at the emptiness before him. It was the same old room. Same cold brick tiles, same two chairs, same table, same huge mirror. But this time, it will be different. Things can never be the same, after what was about to happen.

"Will you be happy, Cielo?"

He asked aloud, staring at the space. The furniture started dissipating, moving into nothingness. The room was seemingly distorted, as if it was a mere fictional world, and it was now being destroyed. After a few seconds, it was totally gone from sight. Ave looked around and saw that he was in the middle of a bustling street. He turned his head and saw the words "District 6". He also took notice of the girls blushing and staring at him, admiring him. He gave them a smile, making them squeal, and some faint. He laughed it off before proceeding forward, hands in his pockets.

"Humans…we can be so foolish, right Cielo?"

He whispered looking up at the bright blue sky. The day was beautiful. Perfect, he thought. Everything was perfectly in place, everything was in order, just in time for Angel Tear.


"Are you sure about this, Archbishop?"

Index Librorum Prohibitorum, the girl who had 103,000 grimoires stuck in her head, asked as she stood beside the aforementioned Archbishop, Laura Stewart, who just finished her afternoon prayer. Laura stood up and walked to the door, with Index slowly following behind her.

"Well, that boy is on his way here, it's not like we can do much to stop him anymore." She sighed.

"But you promised me that Touma and short-hair will be fine! You said that we won't have to ask them for any help to stop that spell!" Index whined as the huge mahogany doors slipped open.

"Index, Kamijou Touma is the type who will never listen or learn his lesson. Once he finds out about what Angel Tear is all about, he'll definitely step into the fray and put a stop to it himself, even at the cost of his own life."

Stiyl suddenly said, he was wearing his usual gothic cape, a cigarette in his mouth. He leaned on one of the frames of the door and looked at the two members of Necessarius.

"But Stiyl…"

"Stiyl is right Index. No matter how much you care for him, he still won't listen to you." Laura said tilting her head to the side, trying to look cute.

"But even so! Touma is like my brother! He takes care of me, and I want him to be happy! But…" Index lowered her head as she pouted. Stiyl did the same, minus the pout, while Laura looked at Index. She sighed before moving forward.

"But he can never be happy, if the one he loves is his greatest enemy."

She continued Index's sentence, as she heard two sets of footsteps follow her. Stiyl and Index remained quiet.

"I'm sorry, I thought that we could stop this, by cutting off our connection with them, but I guess we only managed to stall it for nearly four years. I knew it was inevitable, but it didn't hurt to try. Misaka Mikoto is the 3rd generation; she wields the power of both sides. Her entire existence is an anomaly."

She said solemnly, the sound of ringing suddenly broke the silence. Stiyl took out his phone and answered the call.

"Hello?"

"Stiyl? It's me." A male voice said. Index and Laura looked at one another, before facing Stiyl seriously.

"Ah, Friedrich Claude. What is it?"

"Progress report." Friedrich Claude, the one with the sorcery name Pedophilus165, meaning 'to protect from the defiled', and who also is a complete and utter pedophile, answered.

"Go ahead."

Stiyl said as he closed his eyes and sighed, preparing for the worst news ever. He heard Friedrich take a deep breath before speaking.

"I met a really cute 6 year old here! She has the most adorable platinum blonde hair and has chocolatey brown eyes! Then she has these cute chubby, rosy cheeks that just look so adorable and-"

"You damn pedophile! I don't want to hear about your perverted endeavors! Tell me what I want to hear!"

Stiyl shouted angrily as Index sighed, and Laura smiled. Silence lapsed in the seconds.

"Are you sure you want to hear it, Stiyl?"

"Judging from your tone, I'd rather hear about you and your stupidity, but knowing the magnitude of the situation, I'm going to have to opt for the worst.."

"Sigh, Angel Tear has begun. Changes are already starting to take place over here."

"Where is that idiot?"

"The one who surpasses God?"

"He has a lot of names, but you know who I'm referring to."

"He's on his way here. He's with the spy. Any orders on what we're supposed to do?"

Fried asked. Stiyl massaged his temples as he strode back and forth, before coming to a decision.

"Crash his plane. Prevent him from entering the foreign territory at once."

"What about the girl?"

"Did you really have to ask?"

"I'm just making sure."

"Sigh, you know what to do."

"But isn't that a bit too harsh? She's innocent! We'd be taking lives here! Innocent ones!"

"No one is ever truly innocent in this conceited world Friedrich Claude. Besides, she's grown up, she doesn't fit in the pedophiled category anymore. It isn't your style to care about girls who aren't kids."

"She's still human Stiyl."

"She's long been dead, we all know that."

He said hanging up on him. He clutched the phone in his hands as Index and Laura watched. Laura placed a hand on Index's shoulder, and pushed her forward, allowing Stiyl to be alone.

"For four god damned years, we knew she was dead. We knew this would be happening. We knew her destiny. Yet we couldn't do anything to stop history from repeating itself…"

-chapter end-

HEY! Frie-kun is back! Yes, that's my pet name for him. Fifi will probably be back in a while. (try guessing who that one is). Okay, so now the cast is literally all set! Necessarius cut off their connections to everyone outside of the Magic side to prevent-, just want to make that clear.

So, a lot of terms to explain huh? Examples are Magna Valera, Angel Tear, the Kingdom, land of Sinners, some statements and a whole bunch of other things. I'll only give a brief description of them, since they'll be tackled more thoroughly next chapter.

Let's begin with Magna Valera, Magna means great magnitude while Valera, means unknown force that disrupts. This was taken from a lesson we had when I was in elementary, I found an old notebook about it, so I used it. Try and guess what Magna Valera's purpose is okay?

Angel Tear…is a secret, for now. Try guessing it.

The Kingdom, well…that came from Religion class. It's meaning is pretty obvious…

Land of the sinners refers to Academy City, whoever got that wrong: what the heck guys? It was way too obvious! Just kidding….

Hey, while I was fiddling around with my phone, I discovered that Railgun has a…weird manga special. It's probably just a fan art or something, but it was KamiKoto, as in Mikoto and Touma had both accepted their feelings for one another (slightly) and things were going so well for them so I downloaded it. I stopped reading it, because class was about to start. Its existence has been acknowledged by the original creators of the to aru series! (well, from what I heard anyway). Later that night, I continued reading it, I was so entranced by it that I was fan-girl-ing (hyperventilating more likely) at 12 midnight. And I woke up with a massive, head-splitting head-ache! So if you guys come across it, remember not to read it on a school night okay? But if you're normal unlike me, then you can do as you please. I'm just warning ya!

Since I'm getting sleepy (time check 11:13 pm) I think I'll stop now. Sigh, I've been staying up way too late these past few days… I mean, come on, who gives Investigatory Projects, performance tasks, quizzes, exams, reviews for college entrance exams, school activities, outdoor competitions, school-regulated parties, National Achievement Test review course program, the real NAT exams, college entrance and college applications all AT THE DAMNED SAME TIME?! Man, I am stressing out here…

Well, I hope you enjoyed! Please leave a review if you'd like! Till next time! Ja!
