Last night
Satou sat on a park bench shifting through her treasurey, in her mind. During her time in the cloning pod she found some surprises in Gil's treasurey. Such as command seals, a noble phantasm unicycle, a Potion of Youth noble phantasm, the Holy Grail it's self, and more. The weirdest thing she found was a noble phantasm hot springs.
'Heh, I guess he didn't joke about collecting all the treasures in the world. Let's check the description of the Holy Grail.' The description popped up in Satou's mind.
[Holy Grail - Omnipotent Wish Granting Device - Rank E-EX: The Holy Grail is split into two parts, the Lesser Grail, and the Greater Grail. The Lesser Grail is a literal "cup", it's used as a container/vessel for the Greater Grail. The Greater Grail is the gateway linked to the Root and is in essence, a wishing machine. Known as the core world, the Cup of Heaven, but really the Greater Grail is just a system and the Holy Grail is the key to start it up. For the Holy Grail Wars, the Greater Grail selects Masters and invites Heroic Spirits, and setting them in the Servant class system. The Greater Grail collects the souls of the defeated (killed) Servants. The Greater Grail uses the energy of the Servants to open a gateway to the root, granting the wish of its winner. Disclaimer, don't summon Avenger.]
"Gil in Fate: Zero said the grail originated from his treasurey, but since so much time has passed he didn't have it anymore. Does this mean I have the prime version of Gate of Babylon? Oh well, questions for later." Opening a golden ripple over her hand, the Holy Grail appeared.
"I hope it's filled with mana already." Clearing her throat, she stood up and held the grail above her.
"Holy Grail hear my wish, make me... immortaaaaal." She said dramatically, however after waiting a few seconds, nothing happened.
The clone narrowed her eyes at the grail. "Don't you fucking ignore me." She said in a calm, yet irritated voice.
She sat back down and placed the grail back in her treasurey. "Looks like that plan of restoring my life didn't work. If only I can find a way to get a lot of magical energy..." Satou said sarcastically.
1 minuet later she found a book on summoning magecraft. *Gasp* "Hoh, what's this? A book about summoning magic."Satou said sarcastically, with a fake gasp. Opening a portal over her hand, ironically summoning the summoning book. It didn't look like the typical spell book. The spell books she saw in anime and movies looked old, like it's about to crumble old. However this book looked stylish as fuck.
Opening the book Satou found that she couldn't read a word. 'Dammit, it's all in some voodoo language or something.' Flipping through the pages anyways, looking at summoning circle drawings, she stopped at a certain familiar circle.
"Wait, this is a servant summoning circle!" She remembed how it looked vaguely, but seeing it now, She remembers clearly.
"I have command seals, and the Holy Grail in my treasurey." Putting two and two together, it clicks in Satou's head.
"I can summon a servant!" She shouted excitedly.
She was incredibly excited, the prospect at meeting one of the characters in Fate. "Who should I summon? Saber, or maybe Archer?" As she thought about which servant to summon. A cold breeze reminded her she was still in the clothes the scientists gave to her.
"Get proper clothes first, servant summoning second, and restoring my life third... but how am I gonna get money?" She didn't know how to get any yen. A job would take too long and robbing someone is a maybe.
She couldn't use the gold in Gate of Babylon either. 'People would question me. They would go "Where did a 14 year old girl get gold?" yeah I'm not going through that just for clothes. How about the clothes in the treasurey?'
Satou shifts through the treasurey in search of clothes. 'There all to extravagant, doesn't Gil have any normal clothes! Well, except this plain white tunic. Why would Gil have this in his treasurey, it doesn't look to special.?
"Hmm, welp description time." She said focusing on the white tunic.
[White Tunic - clothing - Rank E-: A plain white tunic worn by someone important.]
"That's all? That's the vaguest you've ever been voice in my head." Putting on the tunic, Satou gets up and walks out of the park.

'If my knowledge of anime is correct than this should...' As she walks into an ally way, Satou is met with 4 Skill-Outs.
'Holy shit I was right.' The Skill-Outs stared at her starting to grin.
"What's a little girl like you doing out late at night?" Skill-Out 1 asks.
"Don't know, but she might have some money on her." Skill-Out 2 replied.
Satou kept a straight face trying not to laugh. 'Jokes on you, I'm the one robbing you.' By Satou's logic, you can't commit theft if they rob you first. She likes to call it 'defensive robbery', it's like self defense, but the only difference is you're robbing them after defending yourself, from them robbing you.
"Alright boys you know the drill." Skill-Out 3 said to the rest of the thugs.
They all pulled out knives except Skill-Out 3 who pulled out a gun. "Gun!" Satou yelled in panic, unconsciously firing a noble phantasm at said gun. Destroying it in the process.
However, the sword sliced off Skill-Out 3's fingers, thumb, and impaled his right thigh. "Gaaaaaah!" Skill-Out 3 screamed in pain, falling down clutching his bloodied hand.
"She's an esper!" Skill-Out 4 yelled.
"S-Shit!" Skill-Out 2 cursed.
"We gotta get out of he-!" Before Skill-Out 1 could finish his sentence. The clone girl opened a golden portal, and dropped 4 gold bars on the ground. She then bolted in the opposite direction yelling sorry at the top of her lungs.
"What the hell?" Skill-Out 1 said in confusion.
"Are these actual gold?!" Skill-Out 4 said as he picks up one of the gold bars.
"Take me to a damn hospital!" Skill-Out 3 screamed.
"Oh shit, my bad bro." Skill-Out 4 replied.
Skill-Out 2 just looked confused on the whole situation.

"*Hah* *Hah* *Hah*." Satou stopped to catch her breath.
'What's wrong with me, I almost killed that guy!' She calmed down and kept on walking, eventually she spots a hotel.
'Hope they take gold...' They didn't, so she got kicked out. This continued for an hour.
"You know what, I don't need a bed I have the ground." Going back to the park, Satou pulled out silk blankets, and a pillow from Gate of Babylon.
Dropping the blankets on the ground, she laid down with her pillow. "Hmm, toasty... wait a minute, if there's a hot sprigs in my treasurey then surely..."
Shifting through the treasurey she found a bed. "Dammit I wasted a hour of sleep! I'm such an idiot!" She complained, throwing her hands in the air.
She crossed her arms beginning to think of an excuse for her stupidity. "No, I don't need a bed. I'll just raise confusion for anyone visiting the park in the morning." As 9982 said that, she laid back down and closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

poke* *poke* *poke* I felt someone or something poking me but too tired to open my eyes. That was until I heard a voice.
"A-d -hy di- my no-e t-k- me here? I'm -ur- I -mel-ed money." It sounded like a female. I didn't know how to react, all I heard was me, here, I'm, l, and money. My eyes shot open I punched the person poking me.
"Oof." The girl stumbled a bit at my punch.
"Misaka what's with you?!" The girl yelled at me.
'Huh, she called me Misaka. She must be with the level 6 shift!' I stand, and looked at the girl.
"Huh." The girl infront of me looked very familiar, but couldn't remember where I've seen her before. Nevertheless I got into a battle stance, not a good battle stance, but a battle stance nonetheless.
"Who are you? What do you want, are you with the level 6 shift?" I interrogated the girl.
She look confused, which I took notice. 'She must be confused on how a clone can act like this. Fool, it will be your downfall!'
"M-Misaka what are you saying, and what are you wearing?" The girl asked me.
'So questioning my fashion sense are we? I'll have you know I was kicked out of every clothing sto- is that a flower on the side of her head... oh fuck.' Satou was 90% sure this girl was Saten Ruiko.
Just to confirm, I ask her, "are you Saten Ruiko?"
The girl looked even more confused at that question. She then crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes at me. "Yup, now your turn. You're clearly not Misaka, so who are you? Why do you look, and sound exactly like her? Also how do you know my name?" Saten questioned me, looking at me with intrigue.
'Oh god oh fuck! How did she find me?! Does the universe hate me this much?!' Mentally screaming in my head I didn't know what to say, so I just said. "Uh oh."
"Uh oh? What kind of response is that." Saten said, as I got even more nervous.
'By the Root a girl is talking too me! Wait why am I worrying about that, she could find out I'm a MISAKA clone?! Okay calm down-' I was interrupted by Saten pointing out I was panicking.
"You look like your panicking over there, you okay?" She asks me getting closer.
'Oh god she's approaching me! What would Gilgamesh say in this situation?! Oh yeah I have my Gilgamesh persona.' Composing myself I replie to the girl, with the full force of my Gilgamesh act.
"Mongrel coming any closer would only mean your demise. If you are wise you would stop and turn away, I am feeling quite-" Before I could finish my Gilgamesh act, Saten interrupted me
"Woah, whats with the high and mighty attitude? You were all nervous a second ago." Saten said, questioning me on my shift in attitude.
"Mongrel, you would interrupt a king? You're either suicidal, or too ignorant to-" However Saten interrupted me again before I could finish.
"King? What kind of king wears a white cloak? Also you're dodging the question." Saten states questioning me on my status as king.
"For your information, it's a tunic." I corrected Saten crossing my arms.
"Your still do-" Saten was interrupted by a long winded speech about me.
"My name is Suzuki Satou. I'm 0 years old. I have no home nor place to stay. I am unemployed. I usually don't have trouble sleeping, however last night was an exception. My hobbies consist of, playing video games, watching anime, and reading manga. Although I might not look like it, I use to participate in a Karate class. Though I was the bottom of that class, but at least I tried. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a quiet comfortable carefree life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone." I interject, monologueing my version of My name is Yoshikage Kira.
"Huuuh?" Saten tilts her head trying to make out what I just said.
'Nows my chance!' I think seriously.
"There, now goodbye miss have a nice day." I turn around and start to sprint the opposite direction.
"Huh? Hey wait!" Saten called out runing after me.
I turn around to see the girl quickly catching up spouting a bunch of words. 'How is she this fast?! She'll catch me at this rate! What would Gilgamesh do in this situation... oh yeah!' I summoned the noble phantasm unicycle and proceeded to ride it. Surprisingly it was pretty fast... a bit too fast.
"Too fast too fast!" I jump off the first unicycle in history, and stumbled on to the ground.
"Uuuhh" Groaning from the fall, l watch as the unicycle smashed through several trees.
"By the Root, return to the treasurey!" By my command the unicycle disappears and returns back to Gate of Babylon.
"What the hell? How can a unicycle noble phantasm or not, smash through trees?" I said trying to figure out how can a one wheeled bike split trees in half.
"I finally *hah* caught up." I turn around to the voice. Saten Riuko stood there looking completely exhausted.
"How are you that fast?" I questioned the girl.
"You haven't answered my questions yet. Also I read of an urban legend that researchers were cloning level 5s. Now seeing you, my suspension has only grown... are you a clone of my friend?" Saten smirks, hoping for me to confirm the urban legend.
"You're not going to question the tree splitting unicycle?!" I said, pointing to the destroyed trees.
"No going off topic. You know, you're really insistent on not answering my question." Saten said.
I groan before making my decision. 'You know what, screw it.'
"Enkidu." Golden ripples appeared around Saten shooting chains restraining her.
"Huh, what the?! Hey whats this for?!" Saten said. looking at me with a surprised expression.
"Sorry about this, but don't worry I'll release you when I get out of the park." I told the level 0, however before I could turn around, and leave. I hear a very familiar voice... very familiar.
"Let her go her right now!" The familiar voice demanded.
"M-Misaka?" Saten said.
'By the Root why, am I just destined for misery. Did I waste all my luck on getting Gate of Babylon or something?' I start to turn around, to meet with Misaka. I came face to face with my face... well, technically not my face.
'Is that what I look like? Damn, I'm cute.' The anime art style tends to make girls look cute, so I guess it translates into real life.
The girl's eyes widen. "Who, are you? What are you?" Misaka asking, for my identity.
'How to go about this... I know!' I came up with the perfect response for original's question.
"Yes." I release Saten, and start to sprint the other direction away from the level 0 and 'big sister'.
""Huh?"" Both Saten and Misaka said in unison.

Nunotaba Shinobu finished her usual rounds of placing bank cards around the city. However she couldn't keep her mind off of what happened last night at the, S-Processor Cranial Nerve Application Analysis Laboratory. A MISAKA sister broke out and displayed an ability never recorded before.
It left Shinobu baffled when she first heard about it. The sisters, were programmed through testament to follow orders and have no emotions. She was even called to the laboratory to check on the Testament machines to see if there was a malfunction. Shinobu was told that 9982 was blocking the signals from reaching her brain.
Testament sends electrical signals into the brain, the machine can input large amounts of information in a short period of time by affecting all 5 senses of the body. The sister would have to be manipulating the electrical signals from reaching her brain. However the signals were blocked, not directed away.
That's not counting the fact that 9982 was unconscious, so her using the electromaster ability wouldn't make any sense. There was also the other factor that 9982 was mentally unable to use the Electromaster ability, due to the fact she would have the mentality of a baby.
However she was shown a brain scan of 9982's brain during her incubation process. It showed activity, too much activity for new born. That wasn't even mentioning the bizarre ability the sister displayed during her breakout.
She couldn't come up with an believable explanation to the clone's strange circumstances. The only way to get answers is from the girl herself. Too bad a manhunt was sent to capture the clone, but it makes sense she is very unique to all the others. This and her encounter with the original last night, is too much of a coincidence.
"Perhaps this is a sign the experiments are reaching it's end." She calmly said, hoping this isn't just some wierd coincidence. She walked home finishing her day.

"Woo, the sun is almost blinding today isn't it? I should be worried about sunburn, but then again that's what makes it summer don't you think?" Misaka Mikoto said, walking towards a bush.
"Ooo Look, it's a cicada shell." Misaka said pointing at the cicada she'll in the bush.
"Hn." Shirai kuroko looked at her with a unamused worried face. 'The sissy I know doesn't like sunburns or cicada shells.'
"It's not quite noon yet we still got some time." Misaka said while happily walking to the vending machines.
"Hnn." Still looking unamused and worried.
"Kuroko." Misaka called out.
"Oh yes what is it?" Kuroko replies, turning to Misaka inserting a coin in the vending machine.
"What would you like? It's my treat today." Misaka asks Kuroko.
"Whaa?" Kuroko was freaked out by this. 'Misaka always kicks on that vending machine, not pay with cash. She's paying for mine too.'
"Well?" Misaka said getting Kuroko's attention.
"Oh, I guess I'll take a-" *Boom* *Crash* *Tree exploding noises* *Tree getting sliced in half noises* Befoe Kuroko could finish her answer, she was interrupted by loud sounds coming not too far from her.
"What was that?" Misaka said questioning were the loud sounds came from.
"I don't know but it sounds like a case for Judgment." Kuroko said, pulling out her Judgment armband and start to teleport towards the source that made the loud sounds, Misaka following behind.
As Kuroko followed the source, Misaka stops suddenly looking disturbed. She then turns a different direction away from Kuroko.

'It's not possible, there's no way... but, but...' Misaka ran in a specific direction, like she was following something.
She stopped breathing heavily catching her breath. 'Around here, this is where it came from.' Misaka was interrupted from her thoughts by a similar voice.
"Huh, what the?! Hey whats this for?!" Misaka turns the other corner to see her friend Saten Ruiko caught in chains coming out of golden ripples.
"Saten?" Misaka says to herself.
"Sorry about this, but don't worry I'll release you when I get out of the park." Misaka turns her attention to the girl wearing a white tunic, and chestnut colored hair.
She ignored the similar power coming off her, and ran to save her friend. "Let her go right now." Misaka demanded the tunic wearing girl.
The girl with the same power as her turned around. Misaka couldn't believe it, the girl infront of her looked exactly like her. Her eyes widen 'it's not possible, no it just can't.'
"Who, are you? What are you?" She asks the lookalike.
The lookalike stares at her for a second. "Yes." The lookalike replies starting to run away.
""Huh."" Misaka and Saten said in unison.
Saten walks up to Misaka. "Hey Misaka did you see that. She has too be your clone, those urban legends were true." Saten wanted to speak more about the urban legend until she saw Misaka's face. Saten stopped, and tried to change the subject.
"Hey, wanna go find Kuroko and the others. I heard-" Saten was interrupted by Misaka.
"Saten, can you keep this a secret, even to Kuroko and the others." Misaka asks Saten to keep a secret.
Saten kept quiet, before responding. "Of course you can, you can always count on me." Saten said with a smile. Making Misaka smile back.
"Thanks Saten." Thanking Saten, Misaka ran after the lookalike.

'Why am I so akward?! Yes?! That what you could come up with?!' I bash myself with every curse word I know.
As I ran, I start to hear the sound of a stampede coming from behind. 'Is there a marathon going on or something?' I turn around to see Misaka Mikoto the 3rd strongest level 5, charging straight at me with a sizable dust cloud behind her.
'So... this is how I die.' I just stop, it was a losing chase for me.
Misaka stops a couple of feet from me, I smiled awkwardly turning to face original.
"Okay, whats your deal? Who are you?" Misaka interrogated, she had an serious expression on that said "tell me or else."
I was quaking in my none existent boots. I was pretty sure I could beat Misaka, but trying not to kill her on accident was the problem. I probably can't win with just Enkidu either. Also my only battle experience I had was getting my ass handed during Kerate class. 'Should I tell her the truth?' I think for a little while, not noticing that Misaka was getting closer.
She grabs my arm pulling me closer. "You wanna get hurt is that it? You should stop ignoring me and start talking." Original said in a serious tone of voice.
'What do I do?! What would Gilgamesh say in this situ- no I'll just tell her and ask to be left alone, equivalent exchange.' I look at her with my awkward smile.
"U-Um, if you let go of my um, arm I'll uh, talk." I replied with my half baked sentence. She let's go of my arm.
"Alright then, are you my... c-clone?" Misaka asks, hoping for me to say no.
'Wait she asked if I was her clone? Wait-wait-wait-wait-wait, I'm start to get the idea of where I am in the anime! So if she asked if I was her clone. then she would have to have met Shinobu. Later going to the laboratory place... I'm in episode 4 or 5. Wait, don't I die next episode! Is there gonna be a new 9982 to replace me, or is 9983 gonna have a early death?' I was lost in thought, but snapped out of it my an angry Misaka.
"Hey I said stop ignoring me!" Original demanded, electricity flying off her.
"Yes I am, I'm your clone." I said, quickly in a frightened tone.
"Just like that." Misaka said.
"Yes." I replied.
Misaka turns her head away from me. "I thought that project was suspended."
She turns her head back to me. "Why does someone like you even exist?" Misaka asks, questioning my existence.
"To be killed in a experiment, to make the number 1 level 5 esper, Accelerator into a level 6." I plainly answered. Leaving original wide eyed, and mouth wide open.
"W-What? Could you say that again." Misaka said, asking for me to repeat my statement.
"Oh u-um, to be killed in a experiment, to make the number 1 level 5 esper, Accelerator into a level-" Before I could finish, Misaka grabs my shoulders which startled me.
"Who's in charge of this." Misaka demanded, looking at me with a serious expression.
"I-I don't know..." I answered,
"Don't lie to me." Misaka wanted to know who was in charge of this.
"I really don't know, but I do know the name of the experiment." I didn't want to get electrocuted by a tsundere 'big sister.' So I directed her attention on a different topic.
"Explain everything I don't want a single detail out." She said seriously.
"It's called level 6 shift, it took custody of the failed clones of the Sisters Project and reused them for this one. The Tree Diagram determine that Accelerator killing the Railgun 128 times would allow him to achieve Level 6, but since 128 Railguns cannot be created. They reused the failed MISAKA clones as a substitute. Accelerator must kill 20,000 clones in 20,000 battle fields, to achieve level 6. By this time Accelerator has killed 9,981 clones." I summarized everything I know about the level 6 shift. Misaka took her hands off me and backed away.
"That's crazy, stop joking around. You just talked about killing me and 20,000 clones being used as proxies." Misaka looked horrified, she didn't want to believe this was real. However, a clone of her just said it. It was so hard to believe, but from what happened last night, and this, she was most likely telling the truth.
"It's true, my serial number is 9982. I'm suppose to die tonight." I said with a straight face.
"You're, just going to throw your life away?" Misaka looked at me with a slightly angry, but mostly worried expression.
"No, I escaped. I got out of there, they didn't see it coming." I put my arms to my hips and smirk.
"You escaped? Are all the clones held in a captive?" The level 5 asks.
"No, they're walking all over the city." I stated.
"Then why did you say, you escaped." Misaka questions.
'Oh fuck, I need to bullshit something quick, what would Gilgamesh say in this situation?!' I think up a lie quick.
"I was uh special, I was born with another esper ability. I wasn't connected to the uh MISAKA network either." I lied, hoping original would buy my bullshit.
"MISAKA network? Another ability? You mean the one you used on Saten?" Misaka asks.
"Oh uh, the MISAKA network is what connects all the clones together. If one of the MISAKAs learn something all the others do too. Think of it like a big online group chat, but it's actually coordinated. My ability uh creates portals, I can use these portals too shoot stuff like a gun, teleport, or use as a shield." I explained to Misaka, however disguising Gate of Babylon as a esper ability. I displayed my 'esper' ability by picking up a pebble, opening a golden portal, chucking it in, then shooting it out. I displayed electromaster by scaring a nearby cat.
"A Dual Skill..." Misaka said to herself.
"That's right, aren't I amaz-" *growl* I was interrupted by my stomach growling. 'I'm hungry, I guess I was too busy to notice. I haven't had anything to eat since I was born... Didn't think I would have ever have to think that sentence. To be honest this whole situation is strange.' I look down to my stomach and grab the cloth of the tunic over it, then back to Misaka.
"Could you spare a couple of yen. I haven't had anything eat, since my escape." My akward smile returns, Misaka just had a look of pity.
Misaka looks at me, then to my clothes. She shook her head. "Here's some yen for clothes. If you're going to look like me at least look nice."
"But... food." I wined, making a depressed face.
"Meet me here later today, I have some free time. I can buy you something to eat." Misaka reassures, me.
I look at my white tunic, it had dirt all over when I jumped off the noble phantasm unicycle. "Oh ah, okay. U-Uh Thank you." I bowed to show my thanks. She hands me the yen which I happily took. I start to walk away, turning back to express my thanks again.
sigh* "Today takes the cake for my weirdest day." Misaka said heading back to the park, to meet up with her friends.
[The First Unicycle - Anti-Unit - Rank C: The first unicycle ever created, its not only fast, but also dangerous. It can reach speeds up to 600 mph, and when it's activated the speed triples. Add speed with the bladed wheels, this noble phantasm is a force to be reckoned with, even if it's a unicycle. Grants the riding skill when used.]
~ BushidoWookie: Indeed he has, I prey Truck-kun will wisp me away to a fantasy land where I can live out my harem dreams.
~ wayutakemura: ok *snorts*
~ dasaed3: I had to put your comment into google translate so I don't know if I read your comment right. Gil doesn't have a potion of immortality, it's a potion of youth. In legend, Gilgamesh failed to attain immortality.
~ bco1.46.231: thanks
~ shiroryuu012: Thank you for your criticism. Looks like I have a lot to learn. So this is now abandoned until I have a full understanding of the A Certain series... which is probably never. Also I know the chains have a limit. You can learn the Magic Gods exist without watching the anime or reading the light novel. I mean I found out about Magic Gods through a YouTube clip. Though I got rid of it to make you happy. Sorry I thought Gensei was the big bad of the sister arc... so I changed it :D. Also voice in her head is just a voice in her head nothing else.
~ marshal orz: not anymore maybe
~ FerunaLutelou: Didn't know they were common. Also I do know about the life span, the grail can fix that... probably.
~ I don't know what I'm doing so bye [Abandoned until I know what I'm doing, which is most likely never... maybe... I don't know depends if people wanna read this or not.]
~ I don't know why quarter of the chapter is like this.
Hello please leave a review :D
