Hey, guys thank you for reading a certain Scientific Counter. Sorry for the delay but the longer the chapter is the longer it takes me to proofread it, however, I did just get a Beta-reader so it should be a little faster now, Anyways Thank you guys for the support and thank you for leaving a review it really helps me out get new ideas for the story. Anyways now for Q&A.
Anti-Mage 29-Thank you and nice name for Touma's Left hand, however, it does have a proper name, but if I reveal it now anyone who has ever read NT or OT for long enough would see where I'm going with this. And yeah would you believe someone like Touma would get a Girlfriend like Misaki.
Dragonrails- I agree the best way make friendships is to burn the hell out of the other. The other reason is that Accelerator's personality is so abrasive that this is normal for him. And I'm glad you got to get a back to back a chapter.
Fortitude501- Uiharu is the Procter that Academy City deserves but not the one it needs. Also, Index felt betrayed because up until now Touma never lied to her, so when he said he wasn't going to the bathhouse she felt hurt. Also, Touma never told any of them that he was dating Misaki because he didn't think it was important.
MarkGib- Thank you.
BlueJack22- Good luck with your chapter!
Rajarshi Sarkar- So you're in the same mindset as Komoe-sensei, Also I Sogiita should be a little higher."
Graeskog- Thank you I got the idea after going over some of the scenes and thought to myself, I am the Knight. And here is the newest chapter.
Robby-Terima Kasih- (Thank you)
Savior555- Okay
July 24 AIM
As Touma awakens from his deep slumbers he suddenly realizes something was off. Namely, the fact that he actually managed to get a good night's sleep. After the celebration, Touma was stuck doing all the cleanup as his Teacher really didn't care if her place was dirty or not and Index while well-intentioned had a habit of managing of making things worse when she tried to help. For example, when she offered to take out the trash to the automatic trash compressor, she managed to somehow jam it even though the machine was capable of 2300 psi.
So once Touma was finally finished doing all the cleanup he got to go to sleep. But, where is everybody? Touma looked around the apartment and couldn't find a trace of anybody. Not even Index, if it wasn't for him thinking to check his phone he would've started panicking. But when he checked his phone he realized he had messages.
Message:'Hey, Took Index with me to go check on Saten' Reply: Okay
Message: 'Good Morning My Prince.' Reply: Morning.
After getting changed Touma decided to head outside and enjoy what little summer he had left. Today was his first real day off of summer, The supplementary classes he takes were split up so you had one day off per week for a 3-week period. Normally he would spend this day with Misaki or the rest of the Delta Force, unfortunately for him, Misaki told him she was going to go check on some research lab in District 2, and he wasn't on speaking terms with the rest of the Delta Force at least until his dorm gets repaired. For now, Touma decided he was gonna do what he does best and that was to take a walk.
Part 1
Judgment Branch office 177
Once Mikoto and Index reached the Judgement Office Mikoto stopped right in front of the door to mentally prepare herself to see Saten again. She really didn't know what she was going to say to her, but she knew she had to say something. Eventually, Mikoto decided it was better to just rip out the band-aid and be done with it.
*WHAM* Mikoto Slams open the door.
"HELLO, How ya-" *BONK*
Before Mikoto could finish her entrance Judgement's finest decided to pay her a visit first in the form of Uiharu falling directly onto her head causing her to collapse.
"Mikoto!" The silvery haired nun cried.
Kuroko then sighed "Onee-sama quit using your powers to break in here."
After getting mild first aid and thanking her luck for not ending up with a concussion, Mikoto asked to see Saten.
"So Saten's not here huh," Mikoto said.
"Yeah, after yesterday we had to move Saten-san and the rest of her classmates to the hospital ward." Kuroko calmly stated.
"Huh? Why did you send Ruiko to the hospital when I saw her yesterday she seemed fine?" Index asked.
Before Kuroko could answer Uiharu spoke up. "That's because a side effect of using Level Upper is that you go into a coma that you can never wake up from."
Index gasped at this. "I-Is Ruiko going to be okay?"
Misaka faltered for a second as even she was unsure if her friend was going to be okay but, in a blink of an eye, Uiharu answered.
"Of course she is! She has all of us doesn't she!" Uiharu declared while clenching her fist. "I know we can save her and everyone else who got affected by this."
The entire group then smiled at their friend's determination.
"I have to be going now I have an appointment with Kiyama-sensei," Uiharu said as she readies herself to head out.
"Why are you meeting up with her?" Mikoto asked.
"Yesterday when you called… Uiharu got really determined to find out exactly how Level Upper worked and refused to even leave the office until we made some sort of break in the case."
"It's Synthesia, That's how they got Level Upper to work like a Testament." Uiharu flat out said.
Suddenly Mikoto slapped herself at her humongous oversight. Of course, it had to be Synthesia, all 5 senses are required to force ability development.
Kuroko nodded. "We finally figured it out at around 3 in the morning. And by the time we did Kiyama-sensei had already gone to sleep and wasn't picking up her phone."
"I'll go with you" Mikoto offered.
"Thank you but, …. You didn't come here to help with the case Miss Misaka, you came here to see," Uiharu had to bite her lip to keep herself from crying. "Saten, so I think you should go see her before…."
Kuroko then placed a hand on her friend's shoulder. "Are you sure you're up for this?"
Uiharu then grabbed the hand that Kuroko had placed on her and squeezed. "I made a promise to Saten that if she went to sleep that I'd wake her up."
Kuroko let go and nodded as she saw her partner head out. But before she did she threw her a thermos filled with coffee. "Can't have you collapsing before we find a way to wake Saten up now, can we?"
And with that Uiharu set out to go meet Kiyama-sensei.
Right as Uiharu left Mikoto decided to head over to the hospital to go see her friend. "Well, I guess I'll see you later Kuro-" Mikoto was immediately cut off by a certain teleporter grabbing unto her and Index.
"Don't worry Onee-sama, I'll get you there before you know it."
"No, wait, Kuroko!"
And like that the trio was gone like the wind.
A Certain Hospital
While it can be said that Kuroko saved them a tremendous amount of time by skipping over all the traffic by teleporting them there, it can also be said that she caused Index to have a mild panic attack.
"AGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"Index it's alright," Mikoto said in an attempt to calm the young nun.
"Onee-sama is she okay!?"
"TELEPORTATION SPELLS HAVE 77% LIKELIHOOD OF ENDING IN DEATH!" She was still not used to being exposed to esper abilities. In her defense, Kuroko wasn't helping much by teleporting them in the middle of the sky, so she could have a better view of the hospital.
After finally managing calm Index down Kuroko learned a valuable lesson in telling people to close their eyes before she teleported them.
Once inside Mikoto was once again faced with an unavoidable obstacle. The door to Saten's hospital room.
"Onee-sama?"
"Mikoto?"
Mikoto raised her hand to stop them. If she was going to do this, she had to do this on her own.
Before her thoughts could be filled with any more doubts Mikoto grabbed the handle to Saten's door and pulled.
"Hey Saten"
Part 2
Somewhere in District 7
As Touma continued to walk through District 7 a thought came to his mind this was a perfect chance to pay back Accelerator. Touma didn't like to have any outstanding debts so now seemed like the best chance to pay him back. So he Touma pulled out his Cellphone and shot Accelerator a Text.
A Certain Accelerator's Apartment
Accelerator found himself lying on his bed just listening to music waiting for this day to be over. Today was one of the few days that Accelerator had off from his constant experiments. With nothing to do he just decided to enjoy some peace and quiet in his apartment. That was his plan until he got a text from somebody named Kami?
"Hey Accelerator what's up"
"Did you fucking put your contact info name as Kami!"
"Yeah, and I put yours as My Albino friend. Why?" Accelerator slapped his face after reading that.
"What the fuck do you want?"
"To pay off my debt my Albino friend, let's meet up"
As much as Accelerator hated to admit it, he really had nothing better to do and at least this way he would be able to kill some time.
"Fine."
"Great let's meet up at Julian's Restaurant"
Julian's Restaurant
Once Accelerator finally got to the restaurant he greeted by no other than the same idiot from before. He half expected to be walking into some sort of trap. At least that way it would make his day somewhat interesting. But alas this was not that and instead, he went into the booth where Touma was.
Before sitting down Accelerator looked over and scanned the table and found no coffee.
"Where the hell is my coffee?"
Touma instinctually looked the other way before answering him "Hehehe, Well you see funny story, I kinda lost it".
"What!? What do you mean you lost it!"
Touma then raised his hands defensively. "It wasn't on purpose I swear it's just on the way here from the store, I lost it."
Accelerator's eyes started to narrow. "How?"
Not wanting to make eye contact with Accelerator he still looked away. "While I was running away from a Judgment Officer"
"EEEHHH!...PFFT HAHAHA!"
"IT'S NOT FUNNY ASSHOLE! I COULD'VE GOTTEN ARRESTED FOR SOMETHING YOU DID!"
"HAHAHAHA! Wait a minute are saying you ran away from those stupid ass Judgement Officers."
"Yeah but it's not my fault."
30 Minutes Earlier
"FREEZE!"
"AHHH!" Touma quickly turned around and saw the same girl who had gotten him arrested days earlier. "Oh it's just you." he then lowered his hands and continued to walk away.
"I said, Don't move!" The girl then made some sort of pose while grabbing her armband.
Touma immediately became pale at the sight of this as he saw that it was a Judgement Armband. "Y-You gotta be kidding me right!?"
The girl narrowed her eyes. "We just got a report of a boy with spiky black hair punch through a wall while exiting a building, you seem to not only match the description, but you also match the MO."
Touma sighed. Of course, something like this would happen to him. "I should've just stayed in bed" he mumbled under his breath
"What was that?"
"Look I know what it looks like but, I swear it wasn't me," he said while raising his hands to surrender.
The girl simply stared at Touma for a moment it looked as though she was observing him to see if he was lying or not. After a while, she spoke. "You still have to come with me for questioning"
"But why? I didn't do anything wrong and besides you were dead wrong last time."
The girl once again narrowed her eyes. "I looked over that report myself, and wouldn't you know the part where you got involved went missing like it never happened in the first place."
"That's got nothing to do with me though I swear, besides do I look like the kind of guy who would be able to punch through a wall to you?"
"Esper abilities can allow people to do all sorts of things, so I learned not to judge a book by its cover, out of curiosity what's your level?"
"Well, you see." Touma wanted to explain to her that he was actually a Level 0, but he'd be lying. "I'm a Gemstone."
The girl's eyes widened in response. "Wow never seen one of you guys before, but that really doesn't change anything."
"Oh, come on can't you cut me some slack rabbit girl?" Touma really should've phrased that better.
"Who are you calling rabbit girl!" The young judgment officer snapped.
(uh oh)
The girl then proceeded to cover her mouth thinking he insulted her teeth. "Jeez, you really are the worst" She then proceeded to pull out a pair of handcuffs and approached Touma.
"No wait-" Touma then noticed a familiar scent. "Is that sesame oil?"
The girl then stopped in her tracks. "Y-Yeah actually it is how'd you know?"
"Well, you see I'm actually sort of a cook if you can call it that."
The girl's eyes then brighten up. "Really what's your specialty?"
"Well I haven't really picked one out yet, I'm sort of just testing out all of them, for now, to see which one I like the best."
The girl then nodded. "Same, truth be told I'm actually trying to learn pais cuisine" {a form of cooking that exclusively caters to children, mainly to help with development in the early years mainly 7-13}
"Really? If that's the case then I'd suggest switching over to olive oil instead."
"Really? I always thought that sesame oil made my dishes taste better. Whenever I tried to use olive oil my dishes always end up tasting too oily."
"Well that's probably because you're using too much olive oil, your supposed lightly drizzle the pan to use it for quick sauté or for baking. Also, if you're trying to learn more pais recipes I'd suggest reading up on Julia Child."
"I've heard of her, is she good?"
"Yeah, while her specialty is French cuisine she has a lot of helpful recipes and tips on how to best use olive oil in other dishes like ones that have to do with pais cuisine, I got mine at Book-on"
"Huh, Thanks that really helps, by the way, what's your name?"
"I'm Kamijou Touma, how about you?"
"Tobi Yumi, a pleasure to meet you" she then extended her arm for a handshake which Touma complied with.
*CLINK*
Touma then looked down and saw that she had handcuffed his right hand to hers.
"Did you really think you could smooth-talk your way out of this?" She asked with a sly smile on her face.
Touma resisted the urge to groan "Oh come on, what is it gonna take to prove to you that I didn't do this?"
Yumi thought about it and did find it strange that someone like him would do something so brazen, she figured the best way to see if he was telling the truth would be to test it out. "What's your ability?"
"Huh" Suddenly it clicked in Touma's head (Stupid! I could've just shown them my imagine breaker the last time and not get arrested. )
Touma then tugged on his right hand. "This, I can negate any esper ability my right-hand comes in contact with."
Yumi looked skeptical but she agreed to humor the boy.
She then proceeded to raise her left hand causing the air currents around it to swirl in place faster and faster until being slowly compressed in a sphere of pure air currents. "Last chance, if you're lying then this is gonna hurt a lot since I'm not fantastic at controlling the gale-force speeds of my Volcanic Ball"
With a look of determination on his face, he responded "I'm sure"
Yumi then proceeds to slowly lower her hand towards Touma's right hand. She was actually nervous, she didn't want to hurt Kamijou. Finally, once the Volcanic ball was centimeters away from Touma's hand she stopped.
"What's wrong?" he asked
"I- I can't" In truth Yumi never liked to use her powers in such a violent way, the only times she did, she did out of self-defense but this, it would be like spitting in the face of her sister's memory.
"I get," Touma understood immediately why she was so hesitant. "So let me do it" Touma then raised his right hand up, so he could touch the ball of air himself.
*Shatter*
Yumi flinched the moment Touma jerked his hand up and when she opened her eyes the Volcanic Ball was gone. "H-How?"
With a slight grin on his face, he answered: "I told you didn't I, I can negate anything whether it be a tactical rail gun or a ball of compressed air."
The girl looked revived "Whew thank goodness I thought I was gonna break your hand there for a second."
"Yeah sorry about that, I get how it can be a little hard to believe, but seeing is believing right."
"Yeah" Yumi then took out the keys to his handcuffs and proceed to unlock them. "Sorry about blaming you for Everything" She looked slightly embarrassed.
Touma waved her off. "No problem, besides if I were in your shoes I'd find the evidence behind myself pretty damning too."
Yumi then let out a small giggle "Yeah sorry to bother you, but I still have no idea who could've punched through the wall, do you think it was the same person who trashed the convenience store?"
"Nah I don't think he's the type to punch through walls. See ya."Touma then started to walk away until a thought arose (Did I just admit to knowing who trashed the convenience store)
"Yeah, see-" (Did he just admit to knowing who trashed the convenience store.)
For a brief second both their eyes met, and they both knew that they had just made a huge mistake.
Touma did not help the situation by starting to sprint away from the girl.
"STOP RIGHT THERE!"
Touma did not however stop and continued to sprint down the streets. For a brief second, he actually thought that he had lost her. Then he heard the...
*BOOM*
The sound of air booming could be heard throughout the streets as he turned around to see that same Rabbit Girl soaring through the air like some sort of hawk trying to take down its prey. Apparently, an application of Volcanic Ball is that it allows you to propel yourself across great distances at high speeds.
Great for her bad for him.
As Touma quietly accepted what fate had in store for him he stopped running and closed his eyes and allowed nature to take its course.
*CRASH!*
Touma opened his eyes expecting to see Yumi in front of him about to clock him in the face only to see that she didn't stick the landing and instead landed on a nearby bush cushioning her fall.
"Ow Ow Ow Owie. I need to practice my landing more" She whined while picking herself off of the bush.
Once she wiped off all the foliage from herself, she looked around and saw a pack of Black coffee left on the ground and no Kamijou insight.
"THIS ISN'T OVER KAMIJOU!"
"SUCH MISFORTUNE!"
Current Time
"HAHAHAHAH"
"I TOLD YOU TO STOP LAUGHING!"
Accelerator tried his best to regain his composure. "Okay so now what, your on that girls hit list or something?"
Touma Nodded. "Probably, be on the lookout for any rabbit girls"
"Hey, why didn't you rat me out?"
"What are you talking about?"
Accelerator leaned back on his chair. "You could've saved yourself a lot of grief if you just told her that it was me, instead of taking the blame."
"Yeah, but we're friends, beside you'd probably do the same for me"
Accelerator scoffed. "I'd sell you out to that chick for the pack of Coffee she took from you."
Ignoring Accelerator's blatant treasonous statements Touma continued the conversation.
"Hey, I wanted to ask you what the heck is your esper ability?"
The white-haired boy rolled his eyes. "Vector transformation."
"AHH that makes sense" Touma then nodded as though he understood completely about what he was talking about
Suspicion immediately grew on accelerators face "You have no idea what Vectors are, do you?"
"It's the thing with the arrows right?"
Accelerator started to twitch. "Yes dumbass my power is controlling fucking arrows."
"No need to be such a dick. But seriously I never really understood that part of physics class, I get that it has to do with direction and something else,"
"Magnitude. A Vector is something that has direction and magnitude".
Touma then rubbed the back of his head "Isn't that a bit too vague, I mean by that logic you could basically control anything you wanted."
"Yeah, that's why I'm the top dog in this city". He said condescendingly.
Touma responded by rolling his eyes
"Don't fucking roll your eyes at me" he roared
"Look it's not that I don't believe you it's just that you act like that's all you are" he pointed out.
"What the hell are you spouting out."
Touma then gestured towards Accelerator "I mean is that really all you are? Just the number one esper in Academy City."
Accelerator was about to rip Touma a new one until he stopped to realize that he was right and a thought popped into his head.
'Who am I?'
Seeing Accelerator stare blankly at him didn't sit right with Touma, so he took this opportunity to flick him in the head to get him to snap out of it
"Hey earth to number 1 I'm still here you know, you're freaking me out"
Reeling back from getting flicked in the head Accelerator quickly snapped at him "How the hell do you keep doing that!"
"Do what?" He questioned.
"Touching me, Normally my reflection would break anyone who even tried."
Touma's eyes narrowed "You didn't actually listen to my story did you?"
Accelerator stared at him dead in the eyes and with a straight face said "I listened enough to know you leveled up from being pushed around by middle school girls to be being pushed around by high school ones."
Touma groaned in annoyance. "My right hand it can negate anything it touches does"
"What?"
In almost a mocking tone Touma slowed down his speech "My. ... Hand…. Can….negate... anything…. It…... touches"
Accelerator took a deep breath knowing full well that if he didn't, he would smack this kid so hard that they would find his body all the way in Brazil.
"I mean what hell are you talking about? How does that even work?"
Touma shrugged and gave his response "No clue, never really bothered to look into and every time I do" Touma then remembered Index telling him that his right hand was the source of all his misfortune "Misfortune always reels its ugly head at me."
Accelerator not believing him choose the direct approach and went to touch his right hand.
*Shatter*
Nothing. From the moment he touched him he couldn't feel his reflection anymore it was like it just disappeared.
"Whoa there, I don't think Misaki would be happy seeing this."
Accelerator let go and went back to leaning in his seat "Still going with that bit, I see?"
"I told you I really do have a girlfriend she's just in another district…." Touma then took a moment to reflect at what he just said and realized even he wouldn't have believed him.
"Whatever. Like I was saying how the hell does that power even work."
"I keep telling you I don't know. Hell, I learned more about my left hand this week than I ever did about my right since I got to Academy city".
"Wait, your left hand?"
"Yeah I have two abilities"
Accelerator was about to call him out but quickly stopped himself realizing that this wasn't the first he was proven wrong. (Is he talking about Dual Skill)
"Show me"
"Sure." Before Touma could say another word his phone started ringing "Give me a second I gotta take this".
Touma then got up and walked far enough away so Accelerator couldn't hear him
"Mikoto what's up?"
Part 3
As Kuroko waited outside of the hospital room patiently waiting for Mikoto to exit Index decided to pace back and forth.
"That's not gonna make her finish any faster you know." Kuroko pointed out.
"I know it just-"
Suddenly the door to Saten's Room opened and out walked Mikoto
"Mikoto!"
"Onee-sama!"
"I'm all right, I guess" Mikoto sighed. "I don't know exactly why she did what she did, but I feel as though I at least have a better understanding of why it happened."
"Ahem" Before any of them could reflect on what happened anymore, they saw that they were being called over by a frog-faced Doctor.
"Ah! A real Gekota!" Mikoto squealed.
Index simply tilted head confused. "I thought they were supposed to be green?"
For once Kuroko would have to play the straight man of the group. "Guys Calm down, you do realize he's just a normal doctor right?" Worryingly enough neither of them looked convinced. She then noticed the doctor showing them his ID card which had a sticker of Gekota on it. "YOUR NOT HELPING!"
"Haha, sorry but you wouldn't imagine the amount of time I've been called that." she then proceeded to put away his ID card. "If you three would please follow me I have something I need to show you." He then gestured them to follow him.
Once they were nearing her office Kuroko began her usual line of questioning. "If you don't mind sir, why do want to see us?"
"You three are working on the Level Upper case aren't you?" he responded. " I have something that you might find helpful."
He then opened the door to his office and began typing away on his computer until a screen full of wavelengths appear.
"What's that?" Index questioned.
"What you're looking at Miss are the brainwave patterns of the Level Upper Victims" he explained. He then scrolled down to show them multiple wavelengths that looked nearly identical to each other. "Normally an individual's brain waves are unique but upon closer inspection, I've noticed each victim in the Level upper case has a similar brain wave pattern."
"What does that mean?" she asked.
"It could point to outside influence," He answered. "Did you know a person's brain waves change based on what that person is doing, so if you could force someone's brainwaves to change, you could essentially change there that person's behavior."
"Wait are you saying Level Upper changes people's brain waves and puts them into comas, what would be the point in that," Mikoto asked.
The doctor sighed. "Some of my work revolves around new types of security systems, One lock, in particular, uses a person's specific Brain waves to unlock them, So when I cross-referenced the Brain wave pattern to the one I had on file I found a match" He then scrolled lower on the screen to show the person in question. "It was Kiyama Harumi." the picture showed a woman with long wavy brown hair and bags under her eyes. Her face was one that both Mikoto and Kuroko recognized.
"WHAT!" Kuroko then ran out of the room to make a very important call.
"Wait let me get this straight, you're saying that she's using Level Upper to make some sort of Brain wave network"
The Doctor nodded. "Let me ask you this, you're an Electromaster right, If you could convert people's Brain waves into electrical impulses do you think you could create a Network for them?"
"Maybe But I'd have to keep the impulses as consistent as possible-" (Kiyama-sensei is using the coma's to keep people's brain waves regulated, so she could create her own Network)
Suddenly Kuroko rushed back into the room "ONEE-SAMA! I can't get a hold of Uiharu!"
Part 4
Bridge
Uiharu originally went to Kiyama-sensei's office in order to get more information on Synthesia in hopes of helping her friends, but ended up getting there before her and discovered that Kiyama-sensei was the one responsible for the Level Upper Incidents in the first place. Now Uiharu finds herself as her hostage while they race down the Freeway in a sports car to god knows where.
"Hey, kid I've been wondering what's the deal with these flowers? Are they part of your ability or something?"
"I'm under no obligation to tell you that" Uiharu retorted graciously. "Why don't you tell me what Level Upper is and why you did this in the first place."
Kiyama rolled her eyes "One question after another isn't it." She then glanced over at her and saw her glaring something fierce at her. "Alright, Level upper links people's brain waves to make high-level operations."
"Links them?"
"Essentially it places the user's brainwaves on flux, like someone who would change the frequency on the radio until it hits just the right frequency."
"Then why are they in Comas!"
Kiyama reeled back from the flower girl's yelling. "Can you cool with the yelling you're gonna make me crash."
"Not until you answer me!" she demanded.
"Alright, The frequency that's needed in order for the Network to stay active is the same as a 1 on the Glasgow Coma Scale. Hence, why they are in a coma." She stated matter of factly.
"Why would you do something like this."
"..."
"Because of you my best friend is about to fall into a coma, and I don't know if I could wake her up!"
Hearing this reminded Kiyama as to why and who, she did this for in the first place.
"Because they rejected the simulation I wanted to run on Tree Diagram, so this was the alternative."
"So you decided to use it on espers?"
Kiyama's eyes suddenly turned cold as she spoke her next words. "Yes, I thought 10,000 or so would be enough."
Uiharu froze at this statement. Not just because of how ludicrous it was but at how she said it. It was almost like she didn't even care about those who were affected. She then proceeded to glare menacingly at her contemplating if it would be worth it to just tug on the steering wheel right now.
"Don't look at me like that, I'm not a monster I planned on releasing everyone once I got a chance to use Tree diagram."
Uiharu didn't look the slightest bit convinced but, was slowly inching closer to her until Kiyama pulled something out of her pocket.
She then placed a small USB drive in Uiharu's hand."Here, this is the antidote to uninstall Level Upper are you happy now".
"How can I trust you! You're probably just placating me, so I won't try anything!"
Kiyama chuckled."Ha. You got me there, I guess you'll just have to trust me."
Uiharu was about to continue her tirade until she realized something. "What were you gonna do about all the people who passed out indoors or in the bath. If we didn't find them all they all could've died."
Suddenly the car began to swerve making Uiharu motion sick.
Meekly Kiyama-sensei muttered to herself "Crap... I gotta call the board and tell them to check all the Dorms."
"IT NEVER EVEN OCCURRED TO YOU!"
Suddenly the In-Dash navigation system screen started to change and beep.
"Hmm, it seems they're onto me."
"What are you talking about?"
"I set a program to alert me if anyone looked at my work without my authorization. All information about Level Upper just got deleted. The only thing that can wake up your friends now is in your hand. You'd better take care of it kid."
Suddenly the weight in Uiharu's hand increased as she realized, she held the fate of over ten thousand people in the palm of her hand.
A Certain Hospital
"Onee-sama you can't just go!"
"Do expect me to just stand by!"
Kuroko then stormed towards Mikoto. "Then I'm going to I'm Judgem- ARGH" Suddenly Kuroko felt Index pat her on the back which caused her immense pain.
"You can barely move Kuroko there's no way I'm letting you go out there."
"Y-You noticed?" Kuroko said while massaging her aching muscles.
"Of course I did, You're my Kohai after all" Then while holding her shoulder she said. "Now it's time you start relying on your Onee-sama"
Blushing Kuroko sprang on Mikoto "ONEE-SAMA!"
"NOT LIKE THAT!"
Index watching the whole thing unfold thought that the two of them had a beautiful friendship. Even while watching Mikoto wrestle Kuroko off of her.
"By the way Kuroko I'm gonna need you to watch Index for me?"
"Huh? Shouldn't Index just go home?" she asked.
"NO!, Under no circumstance are you to let Index leave your sight, can you promise me that."
Kuroko didn't understand why she was so worried but complied anyway. "You got it Onee-sama," She then turned to Index. "You got nothing to fear your with Onee-sama's right-hand gal."
Index smiled then walked over to Mikoto and whispered. "I think you should call Touma, he could be able to help."
Mikoto nodded. "Remember Index stay by Kuroko's side."
"Got it"
"Go get her Onee-sama!" Kuroko then tossed Mikoto an earpiece she had on her in case of emergencies, so they could keep in contact.
And with that Mikoto ran out of the hospital to last known location of Kiyama-sensei the Freeway but not without making a call to certain Gemstone.
"Mikoto what's up?"
"Listen I don't have much time, Uiharu got Kidnapped by some crazy scientist, I think she's driving on the freeway right now if you see her, go help her!"
"... Got it".
"She's driving a sports car."
She could hear Touma running on the phone.
"Wait where's Index!?"
"Don't worry she's with Kuroko, she's safe if anyone can play keep-away with those guys, it's her."
"Okay, I'll call you if I find anything."
"Thanks!"
Part 5
Bridge
As Kiyama continued to race down the freeway in her sports car she met an unfortunate roadblock in the form of Anti Skill officers and stopped.
"Anti Skill they only move this fast when the orders come from up high though, who could've-"
"KIYAMA HARUMI YOU HAVE BEEN CHARGED WITH SUSPICION OF DISTRIBUTING LEVEL UPPER SURRENDER AT ONCE!"
"What now? Your back's up against the wall and I doubt you could take on Anti Skill, your best bet would be just to surrender" Uiharu advised.
Kiyama grimaced for a second at realizing what had to be done if she was going to save them.
She proceeded to exit her car while putting her hands behind her back.
Upon seeing this, Anti Skill Agents scanned her surroundings and saw that both the hostage was secure, and she had no visible weapons on her. "GET HER!"
Kiyama closed her eyes remembering the faces of her students and opened them once again to show that her sclera had turned red.
*KA-BOOM*
Right below the Bridge Mikoto exits out of a cab while calling Kuroko for an update for what just happened.
"Kuroko what's going on!"
"I'm getting mixed reports! But apparently, Kiyama-sensei does have an ability and is currently engaging Anti Skill!"
"What! Since when did she become an esper!?
"That's the thing, the system shows that she never had power, and it's not just that apparently, she has more than one.
"What! That's im-" Mikoto then remembered she knew someone who had two different abilities. "Never mind, but how is she doing it!"
"I don't know, but if I to guess, it might have something to do with her being connecting to the Network.
Using the maintenance stairs on the side of the building Mikoto climbed it to find the carnage of what happens when people choose to battle a high-level esper.
Academy City's finest, Anti Skill were handily defeated if you could even call this a fight, Security bots, and officers littered the ground itself, the entire area where the fight had taken place was covered in a light smoke as if something were burning not so long ago. By some miracle, it seems no one died although Mikoto couldn't know that for sure.
Scanning the area Mikoto looked to see if the culprit was still around but stopped when she noticed Uiharu unconscious in the passenger seat f a blue sports car.
"Uiharu!" she yelled as she ran towards the car to check if she was alright.
"Don't worry, she's fine although she's gonna have one hell of a migraine when she wakes up."
Mikoto spun around to see none other than Kiyama-sensei standing no more than a few meters away from her with her back towards her staring off into the distance.
"Misaka Mikoto, one of only 7 Level 5s in all of Academy City, I currently don't have any Level 5s on file although, I don't think you've ever fought someone like me." Kiyama-sensei then slowly turned towards Mikoto showing her off her eye's red sclera, "I'm 10,000 minds in one, do you honestly think you stand a chance?" she mused.
"Of course!" Mikoto then launched an electric spear at Kiyama-sensei, intending to gauge how strong she really was.
In response to this, she used one of her various abilities to raise the pavement in front of her blocking it before it could hit her. Once she did that she raised her right hand towards her and small sparks started to appear as suddenly out of nowhere the entire area was covered in fire.
It was lucky for Mikoto that they were fighting on the bridge, as there was plenty of metal she could use to make a shield.
"Holy crap. You really do have powers" Mikoto said as she backed up a few meters away from Kiyama-sensei. "Not only that but, it seems as though you achieved Dual Skill. {theoretical esper phenomenon where an esper can have two separate powers.}
Kiyama-sensei simply narrowed her eyes. "Since I obtained my powers through different means, and as the concept of Dual Skill is still a scientific impossibility, I would prefer you call Multi-Skill." She then lowered her right hand vertically firing off a powerful air slash, cutting through the pavement itself as it made its way towards Mikoto.
Mikoto then used her magnetism movement to pull her body away from the attack and moved to the other side of the Bridge "I don't really care what you decide to call your little murder project, It doesn't change what I have to do!" Now being in Kiyama-sensei's blind spot Mikoto fires off another Lightning spear at her.
Right as the attack was about to make an impact it was stopped by some invisible force.
"What's the matter, you knew that I had multiple abilities so combining them shouldn't be all that surprising." Kiyama-sensei created a shock wave that collapsed the part of the bridge that they were fighting on causing both her and Mikoto to fall. As Rubble came plummeting down to the ground Kiyama-sensei simply used one of her multiple abilities float down safely, while Mikoto used the magnetic properties of her powers to cling onto one of the bridge's columns.
(Damn, it's hard enough fighting someone when you don't know what their power is, but having a power that is literally a Deus ex Machina is flat out Cheating!)
"Is this truly all that a level 5 can do?" Kiyama-sensei mocked.
Irked by this, Mikoto responded by using her electromagnetism to rip off apart of the support collum and launched it at her.
Kiyama-Sensei immediately countered this by creating an energy sword and dicing the projectile to bits before cutting the support collum holding Mikoto, causing her to jump off.
"Are you quite done yet?" Kiyama-Sensei asked. "I only want to complete my research once that done I'll simply release everyone. No one will get hurt."
"Are you kidding me!? No one will get hurt, what about all the people you dragged down with you because of your research! There's no way in hell I'm letting you get away with this!"
Kiyama-Sensei sighed as she rubbed her head. "Sheesh, you might be a Level 5 but you're still a naive little kid, do you even how the real world works?"
"I know enough to know that there are people like you who exploit children just because the ends justify the means. You're the type of monster I hate, you use people's insecurities just to make it so that you can further the advancement of science, You're a Monster!"
Suddenly something inside Kiyama-sensei's head snapped when she heard this.
Monster!? MONSTER!?
With a cold expression, Kiyama-sensei levitated a garbage can and launched it into the air causing the Aluminum cans inside to spread across the battlefield.
"I'm…... Just doing things the Academy city way."
Mikoto instantly recognized what Kiyama-sensei was planning, she had the power of the Graviton Bomber at her disposal and just spread out the tinder that if lit would spell her demise. In less than a second Mikoto reacted by blasting the surrounding area with a bombardment of electrical currents destroying all the aluminum cans.
'I see. I can't just attack her directly' Kiyama-sensei then pulled out an Aluminum can from her lab coat pocket. 'However, I have other alternatives.' She then teleported the aluminum can directly behind Mikoto.
*BOOOOOOOM!*
The explosion immediately enveloped everyone unfortunate enough to be with its blast zone covering the entire area in an enormous cloud of smoke and debris.
"I guess you Level 5s aren't immortal after all huh?" Kiyama-sensei then began walking away from the cloud of smoke but stopped when she felt someone grab her from behind.
"Gotcha~"
"WHA!? That's impossible that was a direct hit in your blind spot!"
"Hehe, sorry to disappoint but I don't have any blind spots since my body is constantly emitting electromagnetic waves, I can pick up any movement made against me almost instantly thanks to those reflected waves." Mikoto then smirked. "Although if I were you I'd be more worried about point-blank electric shock coming your way."
The earth began to tremble as Kiyama-sensei manipulated it in a last-ditch effort to stop Mikoto. Unfortunately for her, nothing could save her from the voltage that was to come.
*ZAAAP*
???
"Sensei!"
What is this?
"But sir I'd rather continue my research than have to play teacher for these kids."
Suddenly an old man with a birthmark on his head wearing a lab coat was in front of her. "Now, Now I'm not saying that, Do you see that, those are called child errors, their children who, for one reason or another were abandoned and are now being raised by Academy City, they will be the focus of this experiment, what better way to is there to monitor subjects effectively and efficiently than to take the place of their teacher. "
Who are those kids?
"I suppose you have a point."
Where am I?
"Good morning my name is Kiyama Harumi I'll be your new teacher, pleased to meet you."
"Pleased to meet you Kiyama-sensei!" The class full of children exclaimed.
Suddenly memories of children being children played before her eyes. Whether it be them playing pranks on her or just generally insulting her social life, nothing out of the ordinary for children. But for some reason, she had a thought in her head "I hate children, they're noisy, they have no manners and they're rude."
But then she found herself with a certain little girl.
"Kiyama-sensei do you think that I could be a high-level esper too?"
Who is that?
"Hard to say it's too early to say for sure Edasaki-san it really depends on how you're born and how much effort you put into it, Is that what you want? To be a high-Level esper?"
"That's part of the reason, it's just we're being raised by Academy city, and I just want to be useful is all."
At that moment she could feel her heart begin to open up once again.
Suddenly more pleasant memories of her with the children started to play, she could feel herself starting to….bond?... No…. This is just for the experiment….but...what if I really do….
Before anything else could be played she found herself inside a research facility.
"Today's finally the day for the experiment, are you scared Edasaki-san?
The little girl shook her head. "Not one bit! It's your experiment after all. And I believe in you sensei."
*BLEEEEER*
Red lights and loud blaring alarms covered the research facility as….OH GOD.
A scientist scrambling for the controls starts yelling at the others " They're going into hypovolemic shock, we gotta get them to a hospital quickly!"
"Now, Now let's not be too hasty here." She turned, and she could see that same old man smiling almost as though he was pleased by what happened. "When it comes to the advancement of science no price is too high." She then felt his hand on her shoulder. "Wouldn't you agree, Kiyama-Kun."
She could feel her heart begin to shatter as she saw her student laying there in a pile of their own blood.
Once the old man left the room she collapsed onto her knees as scientists began carting away her precious students.
"I believe in you sensei"
"W-What the hell was that" Mikoto stuttered being taken aback at what she just saw.
Slowly picking herself up Kiyama-sensei responded. "You saw didn't you?"
"W-Why would you do something like that?"
"The experiment...they...they just used those kids as lab rats, stealing away their childhoods."
Mikoto just stood there in shock "H-How could they...do something like."
Now up Kiyama-sensei began to stagger. "Academy City is a cruel place…... 23 times."
"What?"
She continued to slowly limp her way towards Mikoto "That's the number of times I requested to use Tree Diagram to save them…. If I could just use it once, I could run simulations to find a cure for them. If Academy City had just agreed, I could've set them free breaking them out of their cruel fate, they could be out playing as kids should be, but instead, they've been lying comatose for years!"
"But you're doing the exact same thing that they-"
"DON'T YOU DARE COMPARE ME TO THOSE MONSTERS! I'LL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO SAVE THOSE KIDS! I DON'T CARE IF I END UP HAVING ALL OF ACADEMY CITY COME AFTER ME!" Suddenly she felt a sharp pain emanating from within her brain and started convulsing.
"Are you okay!?"
"ARRRGGG! THE NETWORK IT'S RAMPAGING!" she then collapsed onto the ground and as soon as she did a light that looked as though it was liquid started to leak out from the back of her head.
The mysterious light started to spiral upwards beginning to take form. In the end, it looked as though it was a giant fetus with a halo above its head, tentacles made of pure green light sprung from its back. When it finally opened its eyes it revealed that they were red just like Kiyama-sensei's had been. Before Mikoto could say a word it began to cry in pain.
On a rooftop
As Sogiita stood over a rooftop overlooking all of Academy city he scanned the area looking for one person, in particular, Kamijou Touma
Ever since he met the number 5 and heard about him he couldn't wait to test his Guts against his. But as usual, he had no luck in finding Kamijou anywhere. Normally he would be able to sense somebody he wanted to find by focusing his Guts on that person. But this time was different it was almost like he wasn't there at all.
"Oh come on Kamijou give me something. Stop hiding your Guts from the world and show your-"
*Boom*
In the distance, Sogiita could see an explosion appear in the middle of the highway. He could vaguely see Anti Skill vans surrounding what looks like a sports car with electricity blasting every which way.
"Duty calls" with a smirk he leaped off of the building, a giant colorful explosion appeared behind him as he soared through the sky towards the commotion.
Back on top of the Bridge Uiharu finally woke up, with a splitting headache she let herself out of the car and noticed that she didn't have handcuffs on anymore. Once outside of the car she noticed the widespread destruction that covered the bridge. She only hoped that no one had died during all of this fighting, but then the sound of a high pitch screaming caught her attention. As she rushed towards the noise she finally saw it. A giant fetus made up of pure energy. The wait was that Misaka and Kiyama-sensei? Before Uiharu could do anything else she saw the creature float away following the bridge down completely ignoring Misaka as she chased it. Uiharu then climbed down the maintenance ladder that was somehow affected by all the fighting to go check on Kiyama-sensei.
As Kiyama-sensei picked herself off the ground it was clear to Uiharu that she was hysterical."Hehehe HAHAHA, I guess that's it huh? Never thought something that would happen, hahaha if I only showed that off in a conference I would've won an award for sure hahaha" Taking a deep breath she then reached behind her back and pulled out a gun and pointed it at her temple. "I guess this is it, If I had any regrets then it would be that I failed those kids," Taking her last breath she closed her eyes. "I'm sorry students, I failed you"
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING!?"
"Huh!?" Kiyama-sensei then found herself full-bodied tackled by Uiharu, causing the gun to fall out of her hands.
"DON'T YOU EVEN THINK OF," Uiharu then noticed that Kiyama-sensei wasn't breathing as she had all of her weight on her gut. "Ah, my bad." Uiharu then got off of her and helped her back on her feet.
"What your problem kid?"
"My problem!? I'm not gonna let you just kill yourself I'm a member of Judgement and decent human being." She then glared at her warning her that if she ever tried something like that again, then she would make it her mission to make sure she'd survive.
"TCH, Alright fine I won't do it again."
"Good, now can you explain to what the heck that thing is?"
Kiyama-Sensei sighed. "That thing is called an AIM BURST, it's a byproduct of the network I made from the 10,000 people currently inside. To put it simply it's a congregation of everyone's AIM fields into one being, It's the same concept as the Imaginary District."
"I thought that was only a rumor."
"Apparently not, hard to believe isn't it that something like that has a will of its own, or maybe it's just all those student's collective emotions rolled into one imperfect being, that would explain why it's such an emotional wreck."
"So what do we have to do in order to stop it?" Uiharu asked.
"Huh? I thought you said that you couldn't trust a word I said, kid?"
Uiharu then presented her hands. "You uncuffed me after I passed out. You didn't have to and it would've been to your advantage if you just kept me handcuffed and locked in that car, instead you came back. Besides, I don't think those kids you mentioned earlier would be too happy if they found out that their teacher was a liar ".
"You really know how to break a person down don't you kid. Alright, I'll tell you, do you remember that USB drive I gave you earlier well that's the first thing needed in order to stop the AIM BURST."
"Okay"
"First you're going to have to use the frequency on that drive and release everyone currently affected by Level upper then you're going to need to destroy the Nucleus that should destroy it completely."
"Wait what happens if we destroy the nucleus before we release everyone affected by Level Upper?"
"If you do that then everyone who is currently affected by Level Upper will suddenly become brain-dead from the sudden detachment from the network."
"WHAT!?"
"If I thought that something like this was even a possibility then I never would've done it. That's why I was going to-." Kiyama-sensei then stopped talking once she felt someone grab her hand.
"Come on we gotta get going and warn the others."
Kiyama-sensei was shocked as to why would she still try to help her, doesn't she realize that because of her 10,000 people could potentially die!. "Why?"
Uiharu then smiled at her "Because, you still have to make up for everything you've done I'm not going to let you just weasel your way out of something like this, besides when this is all over I want you to tell me more about your students, so I can help them too."
"You...kids." Kiyama-sensei then found herself running alongside her in order to help fix her mistakes.
As the AIM BURST continued to make its way down the bridge more Anti Skill operatives came with the mission to destroy it. Unfortunately for them, they were fighting something the like of which they have never seen before.
"FIRE" A hailstorm of bullets came washing over the AIM BURST, but as quickly as they tore through its flesh it regenerated the wounds and became bigger in the process.
"SOME GET THE GRENADE LAUNCHER."
*BOOOOOM*
The entire AIM BURST was covered in the explosion causing the Anti Skill officers to relax a little thinking that they could handle this.
"RAAAGHHHH!"
Suddenly a shock wave coming from the cloud of smoke sent all but one Anti Skill officer flying away.
"G-G-Guys!?" The lone female Anti Skill officer was alone as The AIM BURST slowly emerged from the cloud of smoking looking twice as big as it originally was.
Her legs couldn't stop shaking as the giant monster loomed over her. "D-D-Don't come any closer!" She then fired off her machine gun at the monster in panic.
"T-This is gotta be a Nightmare right!? There no way something like this could be real?" The monster then extended one of its fleshy tentacles towards her, once it got closer an eye manifested itself on the point of the tentacle along with small fleshy stubs for hands, now within striking distance of her the small hands felt the officers face.
"SUPER AMAZING PUNCH!"
A wave of pure force suddenly launched the tentacle away along with the entire AIM BURST several dozen meters away.
"Huh, that's one freaky monster."
"Who are you?"
The spiky-haired boy then turned around with a smile "I'm Sogiita Gunha and I'm here to kick that thing's ass." The boy then rocketed himself towards the beast once again smacking it square in the face. "SUPER PUNCH!"
The Anti Skill officer had no idea what just happened, but she was glad it did. She then heard a voice behind her and saw that it came from what looks to be a middle school girl wearing a beat-up Tokiwadai uniform.
"Hey lady, get outta here it's not safe!"
"Uh, shouldn't I be the one telling you that?" She asked.
"Ugh," The girl then launched a volley of electrical spears at a nearby car utterly annihilated it demonstrating her powers in the process. "Convinced?"
"Y-Yeah" she seemed a little intimidated by her demonstration.
"Look I have no idea who the hell that guy is but, use this chance to regroup and-"
"I can't! Do you see that building over there." She pointed to a far off facility in the background. "That's an experimental nuclear reactor if that thing makes its way there this entire area is going to known as the new Chernobyl"
"YOU'VE GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!?"
The Girl then launched herself using her electricity as a base towards the AIM BURST in hopes to stop the moron who was currently beating the thing to a pulp towards the very deadly Nuclear Reactor!
"SUPER AMAZING ULTRA-"
*ZAAAP*
"Huh?" The electrical attack didn't so much as hurt Sogiita as it did surprise him, he then turned around and saw a very pissed off Tokiwadai student coming towards him.
"Uhh, why'd you just do that?"
"Hey, you see that building over there!"
Sogiita then turned to see the building in question and nonchalantly answered. "Yeah"
"That's a Nuclear Reactor cool it with widespread attacks or your gonna cause a Meltdown!"
He responded by clenching his fist. "Don't worry I have full control over my GUTS!"
"WHAT!?"
"RAGGHHHHHHHH!"
The AIM BURST then started shooting of an assortment of energy blasts at the two with Sogiita simply swatting down the energy with a simple punch and Mikoto Blocking it with an Electromagnetic shield.
"You got some real GUTS! How about we team up and take this thing down huh?"
"Sure!"
"GREAT! SUPER DUPER PUNCH!" Sogiita leaped from the ground directly above the AIM BURST head nearly instantly and fired off a punch concentrating his GUTS in order to contain the shock waves in that specific area maximizing the damage output while minimizing damage caused to the area surrounding it. The impact forced the beast to the ground pinning it in place.
"Not bad, but let me show you how it's really done!" Mikoto then charged up electricity with both of her hands and used it to summon all the iron sand in the area and created a miniature twister made up of iron sand. She then used this death cyclone to cut the AIM BURST to ribbons not giving it a chance to escape or regenerate.
"THAT'S SO AWESOME!"
Before accepting the compliment Mikoto saw a red flare shoot up in the sky, it was coming from the part of the bridge she was originally at. She then felt her phone ring, normally she would ignore this but something told her that it was important.
"Hello!?"
"MISAKA-SAN PLEASE DON'T DESTROY THE AIM BURST YET!"
"Uiharu!? What are you talking about we're so close to-"
"IF YOU DESTROY BEFORE THE PEOPLE ARE FREE FROM LEVEL UPPER THAN EVERYONE WHO'S CURRENTLY IN A COMA WILL DIE!"
"WHAT!?"
"Please, Misaka-san just give us a little more time we're almost at the Anti Skill van from there I should be able to release everyone from their comas."
"Alright, but hurry!"
"Remember don't hit the Nucleus if you do then…"
"I get it, don't hit the Nucleus."
Mikoto then sighed as she released the AIM Burst. The Creature then grew to an enormous size towering over both of them.
"Uhh, why'd you stop? Did you run out of Guts or something?"
"Change of plans we can't destroy that thing yet."
"What!?"
"If we destroy it then 10,000 students across Academy City will die."
"Damn I knew this thing had some Rotten Guts, but that's just messed up!"
"Tell me about it."
As Uiharu and Kiyama-sensei ran on the bridge in order to make it to the remaining Anti Skill officer Kiyama-sensei found herself slowing down.
"Hurry Kiyama-sensei we have to get this to the Van a quickly as possible!"
"I know!" Kiyama-Sensei then turns to see the behemoth of a monster that she had created. It was enormous easily being more than 17 meters in height.
"COME ON!"
"Okay, jeez I never really was all that good at running." Kiyama-sensei bellowed.
"Same, Judgement training was my greatest foe!" Uiharu responded.
Once the remaining Anti Skill agents were insight the duo slowed down in order to catch their breath neither one of them could honestly run much longer without passing out.
"Do you know who that boy is?" Kiyama inquired.
"No idea, but I think he's on our side he's helping Misaka-san after all."
"I can't help but think that I've seen him somewhere before."
"Worry about that later!"
Kiyama-Sensei then had a feeling that something was coming straight for them. She then turned her head and saw a giant blast of pure energy come barreling towards them.
"WATCH OUT!" Kiyama-sensei then tackled Uiharu safely to the ground using her body to cover hers in case any of any debris.
"Are you okay" Kiyama-sensei then checked Uiharu's vitals and found that she was alright only unconscious.
"Thank god." She then noticed her hands and saw that the USB drive that she had been carrying had been destroyed.
Kiyama-sensei then carried Uiharu the rest of the way there leaving her in one of the Anti Skill Vans that had been abandoned. "Sorry kid, I couldn't even fix my own mess, thank you...for believing in me though." Knowing that she wouldn't be able to help her once she woke up, She then shut the door and proceeded to climb down the stairs of the end of the bridge and walked towards the edge of the battlefield.
At this moment she had given up on everything, being redeemed, saving her students….she just wanted to escape this cruel reality. She walked into the battlefield and immediately fell to her knees just waiting for a stray energy shot to hit her and end it all.
When she looked up she saw that very shot come barreling towards her, she closed her eyes and accepted that this was the end.
.
.
.
.
.
*SHATTER*
"HEY WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!?"
Even though there was no way for him to know that she was there. Even though there was no reason for him to help her. Somehow this misfortunate boy found himself saving this woman from the cruel illusion of hopelessness she had placed on herself and gave her hope.
"H-How did you do that?" She muttered.
The boy simply sighed. "At this point, I think I should just make a card" he muttered to himself before answering her. "My right hand can negate anything supernatural, and by the way….WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!" He said while pointing at the giant monster.
She couldn't believe it. By some miracle, she had been given another chance to make things right. If what he was saying was then he can free everyone who she'd damned.
"Listen to me, if you can touch the AIM BURST Nucleus you can save everyone and stop that..." (What am I doing, Do I really have any right to let yet another person carry my sins for me, how any more lives am I gonna take….)
"Okay."
She was in utter shock. There was no reason to believe her, she could've just been a madwoman spouting out nonsense, he didn't know who she was or what she'd done… "Why?"
The boy simply his right hand on her shoulder and smiled. "Don't worry teach, leave everything to me, Let me show you what the most talentless person in all of Academy City can do." He then ran off towards that monster without hesitation.
She then found herself with tears streaming down her face as she had finally allowed herself to cry. "Thank you….THANK YOU!"
"Huff...huff. You still good there?" Mikoto asked.
"Totally, My GUTS have never been pushed so far!" he exclaimed as he was dodging the AIM Burst attacks. Dust covered the area after each swing making it harder to actually dodge its attacks.
"Good, because there's no way in hell I'm gonna let my friend down."
Saten's Hospital Room
Hours Earlier
"Hey, Saten…."
"Are you?"
Mikoto walked over to her friend and saw her there lying unconscious. She felt powerless. But before she could dwell on this feeling for too long she noticed an envelope on the counter next to her hospital bed addressed to her and opened it.
Dear Misaka
Uiharu told me that you wanted to talk to me but I wasn't sure if I'd be awake by the time you got here, so that's I wrote this. First I like to tell you I'm sorry. I'm so sorry it's just that I thought there was something wrong with me. I thought that I was defective for not having powers I really thought that, and yet I was too chicken to actually do it by myself, so I ended dragging some of my classmates with me. there were so many times I wanted to tell you guys but every time I was close I just found some excuse not to. Now I see that I couldn't have been more wrong I know even without a power I'm still me and I still have you guys Uiharu, Shirai. Funny isn't it, you never know what you truly have until you lost it huh. I want to thank you for everything Misaka. Thank you for telling me, thank you for getting my friends help after I got them in this mess and thank you for being my friend. I hope once this is all over we can back to way things used to be.
Sincerely,
Ruiko Saten
"Hey who's that?" Asked Sogiita as he watched some random guy appear on the battlefield.
Mikoto turned around and to her surprise there he was. Kamijou Touma
"What the hell are you doing here!"
"The lady in the lab coat over there said that if I touch the nucleus with my right hand than it should save everyone."
(Is he talking about Kiyama-sensei?)
"Look that doesn't matter Uiharu has a plan and once she frees everyone from the coma then we can destroy that thing"
"I'm with the electric chick, I can respect your Guts for coming all the way here but I don't think you can handle this. Just get to safety will ya."
Touma currently being in the presence of two people who were monumentally stronger than him, and a giant monster that could easily kill him with no effort stood firm in his decision. "No"
"Idiot! Just get outta here will you!" Mikoto screamed as she couldn't watch another one of her friends be in danger.
"Come on man-"
*Blast*
Before either of the Level 5s could react another blast of pure energy came barreling towards Touma.
*Shatter*
(Did This guy just erase the energy? Who is this guy?)
"Listen I know that I might be weaker than both of you, but the faster we take this thing out the less likely there is that there are gonna be any casualties. Besides, I think I can make up for what I'm lacking with some Guts." Touma said while looking at Sogiita
"You're a funny guy man. What'd need me to do?"
"Are you serious there's no way-" Mikoto protested
"We have to figure out where the nucleus is first" Touma explained
(Are they ignoring me!)
Sogiita eyes glow a brilliant white light for a few seconds before turning back to normal.
"Right there!" He then pointed at the center of the AIM BURST's chest.
"How'd you do that?"
"I focused my Guts to my eyes and could see where the source of that things' energy was coming from" Sogiita clarified
Both Mikoto and Touma had the same thought.
(Hacks!)
"Okay next is how I'm gonna-"
Sogiita then stomped his right foot on the ground shaking the very earth and causing cracks to form all around him before emitting a powerful red yellow-colored aura around himself.
"You're up!" He then grabbed the misfortunate boy by his collar.
"Wait you gotta be kidding me right?!"
Sogiita then threw the misfortunate boy full force towards the AIM BURST's nucleus. "Go get him, tiger!"
"You seriously threw him!" Mikoto screamed in horror.
As Touma flew through the heavens a few thoughts arose in his head one of them is how he wasn't dead from the sheer G force alone. Another one was he should really extend his right-hand right about now!
Seeing the boy being flung at him the AIM BURST responded by launching another energy blast full force at the incoming projectile.
*Shatter*
After that failed the collective thought of the beast decided to swat the boy down with its tentacles. Once the tentacle was within spitting distance of Touma he thought it was all over, the Tentacle itself was twice as big as his entire body, and he couldn't raise his right hand to defend himself without risking going off trajectory and missing the nucleus.
"Super ultra duper punch!"
Touma felt the immense wind pressure blast right past him and utterly eviscerate the tentacle along with a large part of the AIM BURST body.
As Touma drew closer to hitting his target Something clicked inside of Sogiita's mind as he finally realized who he just threw.
"Kamijou!"
*Booom*
Right as Touma was about to hit the beast a beam of yellow and orange light zipped right past him destroying another large chunk of the AIM BURST but this time revealing the Nucleus it was some sort of glowing Triangular Prism.
"Do it!"
Right as Touma was about to make contact with the nucleus he heard the cries of the AIM BURST. It was the voices of everyone who was currently in a coma.
'I have no choice but to get my hands on it, do I.'
'My dream is to become an esper, but my dream will always just be that a dream'.
'No matter how much effort I put in there will always be a wall of 'talent' standing in my way'
'I couldn't stand not having any powers, but couldn't stop wishing for it.'
'Am I defective?'
You think just caused you guys failed once that you can't try again. Have you all really deluded yourself into thinking that this was the only way possible to fix it? You can't give up on your dreams just because you weren't born with talent! Not when you all have another chance to try again! But you can't do that if you just stay in there just brooding about it and lying to yourselves that everything will get better just because you took some wonder drug! That's just some messed up illusion you put on yourselves so don't have to take any responsibility!
"So I'm gonna shatter that messed up Illusion of yours!"
Ragghhhhh!
*Shatter*
"WAKE UP!"
Joseph's dinner
*Shatter*
"What was that?"
"What was what, Takitsubo?"
"You guys didn't hear that?"
"Your super making no sense."
"Yeah, basically no one knows what you're talking about."
"I'm sorry."Takitsubo then lowered her head back on the table.
Windowless Building
*Shatter*
In a room lit only by the yellow lights coming from circuits on the ground there was something upside down in a tube that can only be described as human, it had both feminine and masculine features having waist-length hair and having a petit but masculine build dressed in a hospital gown. This person was called Aleister the General Superintendent of Academy City. Normally he would have a face of pure apathy but today was a rare occasion where he would let off a small almost unnoticeable smile.
"So you can smile after all."
"Can you really expect me to be apathetic Noukan when my theory was just proven true."
"I guess not"
Saten's Hospital Room
*Shatter*
"Doctor she's awake!"
Part 6
"Please let me go flower child you're crushing me" Pleaded Touma.
"No!" Uiharu said In between sobs of joy.
Yep, this is happening. Apparently, after I punched the nucleus everyone who was in a coma woke up and the entire AIM Burst disappeared the only problem was when it disappeared there was nothing to cushion my fall, just my luck. It was only thanks to Sogiita who caught me at the last minute that all I have now is a broken arm. Apparently touching something while moving at high velocities is a recipe for getting a fracture. So that's why they took me to, the on-scene ambulance and why I'm currently being crushed to death by Flower Girl here.
"Please, I can't breathe" Touma wheezed as he could feel his soul getting pressed out.
"Uiharu you gotta let him go," Mikoto said worryingly.
Letting Kamijou go from her Vice grip of a bear hug Uiharu starts to wipe away the tears from her eyes. "I don't know how I could thank you because of you I was able to keep my promise to my friend after I, I" tears continued to flow from the young Judgement girls eyes
"Uiharu it wasn't your fault that the USB broke." Mikoto reminded.
"I know but-"
Touma then pulled Uiharu close to him and whispered "Look how about we call ourselves even huh? I mean you did help me out back then remember."
Wrong response.
In between the tears, he could see her glare at him
"Mr. Kamijou how could you possibly think me doing my job as a judgment agent even comes close to what you did!"
Touma sighed he didn't mean to hurt her feelings "Look I'm sorry I made light of what I did really, I should've known that it meant a lot to you so your welcome."
As this was going on the rest of the Judgment crew started to make their appearance including Shirai accompanied by Index.
"Onee-sama!"
"Touma!"
They each hugged them although one was a bit more handsy then the other.
"Kuroko knock it off!" Mikoto growled.
"Touma, you did it!" Index cheered. "I knew you'd be of some help."
(I'm gonna go ahead and take that as a compliment)
Kuroko then turned to Touma. "What happened to you?"
Touma sighed as he rubbed the back of his head with left arm. "Broke my right arm."
"Yikes, that's gotta suck."
"Tell me about it."
Kuroko then let out a sigh. "Look I know you probably already heard this before but, thank you for helping us out, I have no idea what you did or even how you did it but from what Onee-sama told me, if it wasn't for you then things might not have played out as pleasant." she then turned to Uiharu and nodded.
In unison, they both bowed at Touma "Thank you".
"You guy you really don't have to-" he was immediately cut off by both Judgement agents who glared at him.
"Y-Your Welcome," he said with a worried grimace on his face.
He then felt Index tug on his shirt. "What's wrong Touma? You look worried?"
"Well it's just that things are going well for me," Touma then looked side to side. "Too well."
"You're just being paranoid Kamijou," Mikoto said as she waved it off.
"THERE YOU ARE" Touma flinched as he recognized the voice of this particular Judgement agent.
Uiharu then walked closer to Touma. "Um, Kamijou-san do you know her?"
Sweating bullets Touma answered. "Y-You could say that."
Touma then felt someone grab his shoulder. "Remember me Kamijou," Tobi Yumi said in a very menacing voice.
Shirai then stepped up. "What's going on here?"
Tobi then tugged on her Judgement armband. "I'm arresting him."
At that moment everyone lost their freaking minds.
"EEEHHHHHH!?"
"EEEEHHHHHH!?"
"You idiot!"
Uiharu was the first one to come back to her senses. "What do you mean you're here to arrest him, what could he have possibly done?"
Tobi simply reached into her back pocket and pulled out a notepad and started flipping through the pages. "Aiding and embedding, Lying to an officer, Knowingly endangering public welfare, Evidence tampering, and littering."
Uiharu's jaw dropped to the ground after she heard this. "there's gotta be some mistake here, Kamijou-san would never-"
"What do you mean littering! You're the reason I dropped the coffee in the first place." Touma responded.
This left everyone even more confused as he only denied the littering aspect of his list of crimes.
"Fine, I'll cross that off, I guess I was just being little vindictive there." Tobi then crossed of Littering on her notepad. "You're still getting arrested for the other stuff you know." She then pulled out a pair of handcuffs.
"Okay hold on a second! What the hell are you talking about!" Mikoto demanded.
"Well earlier this week Kamijou-san over there was arrested under the assumption that he completely destroyed a local convenience store after Anti Skill officer's assessment, then once he got out all evidence that he was ever there mysteriously disappeared, And earlier today I had him in handcuffs under the belief that he punched through a wall and after he convinced me that he wasn't the one responsible I un-cuffed him and he accidentally let it slip that he knew the real culprit behind the convenience store attack was." Tobi then took a breath. "After that I gave chase, and he got away."
"Wait isn't there something you do?" Shirai asked thinking for any solution to solve this problem. "I mean crying out loud he saved over 10,000 people today."
"EHHHH, But over the radio, I heard that a Gemstone was responsible" Tobi then remembered that Kamijou was a Gemstone. "Damn it"
"Please isn't there anything you can do to help Kamijou-san" Uiharu plead.
"I-I'm sorry, I really wish there was but, I just can't overlook what he's done just because he-"
"Come on, he literally saved 10,000 people there's gotta something you can do," Mikoto said as she stood in front of Touma.
"Yeah," Index said as she too stood in front of Touma. "Didn't you say Touma didn't do either of those crimes, instead of going after Touma why don't you go find the person who really did those things."
"I wish I could but I have absolutely no leads to go on, In the first incident the culprit left no fingerprints and all the cameras in the area were damaged, and in the second incident, Kamijou perfectly matched the description of the culprit."
Mikoto's eyes then widened "Wait, what?"
"The second culprit. He had spiky black hair and from what the witness said he said something about Guts?"
Everyone present save for Tobi immediately turned to Sogiita who was currently talking to Anti Skill officers about his fight. Once he noticed them looking at him, he waved back.
"It was him," They all said in unison as they pointed at Sogiita.
"What!? How can you be so sure?"
"Ask him" Touma deadpanned.
Tobi complied and walked towards Sogiita. "Umm excuse me."
"Yeah"
"I know this might sound weird, but you wouldn't happen to be the one responsible for punching through a wall earlier today would you?"
"Yeah," Sogiita said nonchalantly
(HE ADMITTED IT!)
"W-Why would you do that"
"Hmmm Oh I remember, there were these Gutless thugs who were beating up some poor kid, so I showed the thugs my Guts by punching through that wall, Don't worry they all learned their lesson"
Tobi sighed. "I'm gonna need you to please come with me, okay."
"Sure."
"Wait why doesn't he need any handcuffs!" Touma screamed.
Mikoto then tapped him on the shoulder. "What's the point really, I mean he could honestly just break out anytime he wanted to."
Tobi then walked up to Uiharu. "Look I'll let him slide this time because of this, but he really does need to tell me who did that. Okay."
Uiharu nodded. And with that Tobi led Sogiita away as he kept on telling her the importance of GUTS!
Touma sighed in relief. "Thanks for that really."
"No problem" Uiharu then leaned in and whispered to Touma. "Just don't make that a habit, I don't think 'She' would approve"
Touma quickly nodded as he got the message.
Mikoto then cracked her stiff neck. "Anyway let's head over to see Saten"
"Wait are you guys going to a certain hospital?" Touma asked.
"Yeah, why?"
"Perfect I was heading there anyway." He then presented his arm which was currently in a splint.
"Okay but first let me go check up on someone," Mikoto said before going to check on Kiyama-sensei who was currently being escorted to an Anti Skill van.
"So what are you gonna do now, about the children I mean"
"I have no intention of giving up on them." Then with a small smile, she looked over at Uiharu and Touma. "It doesn't matter if I'm in a Laboratory or a Prison cell, I'll never give up on them ever again, However, if you don't like the methods I choose to try to save them, then I invite to try to stop me." She then walked willingly inside the van as the Anti Skill officers closed the doors and drove off.
"Hey, Mikoto! Hurry up I wanna go see Ruiko!" Index screamed.
"Coming!"
A Certain Hospital
Once everybody exited the taxi cab they each started stretching after being confined in that cramped Taxi Van.
"By the way, I've been meaning to ask you, how did you get to the battlefield so fast?" Mikoto inquired.
"Oh that's easy after you called me I rushed right out of the restaurant and caught a cab, but after a few miles the cab broke down and I had to run until I reached a bus stop. Once there the bus took me on the freeway a mile away from the Bridge, from there I saw the explosion and decided to run the rest of the way there."
Uiharu and Shirai stared at him awestruck at how anybody can be that unlucky.
"Wait, Touma, why were you at a Restaurant?" Index asked.
"Oh I went there to eat with my-" A look of panic suddenly appeared on Touma's face "OH NOOO!"
"What, What's wrong?" Mikoto asked.
"I stiffed my friend with the bill," Touma then started running back to the restaurant.
"Wait what about the hospital?"
"Tell Saten I said get well" He then ran off towards the sunset.
"Well, that was awkward," Shirai commented.
Hospital Roof
Once Saten woke up from her coma the doctors performed numerous tests on her to make sure she was alright. One of these tests was a SYSTEM scan that showed that she was back at being a Level 0. Normally this would have upset her but instead, it made her feel slightly relieved since she would have another chance to earn that Level herself. Once all the tests were complete Saten decided to head to the roof to get some fresh air. And to see that sunset that she thought she would never be able to see again.
"SATEN-SAN!"
Saten quickly turned around and saw her best friends all rushing towards her.
Nonchalantly Saten greeted them. "Hey, guys."
In unison, they all screamed at her. "Don't hey us!"
"Yeah, we went looking all over the hospital for you since you weren't in your room!" Uiharu screamed.
Mikoto walked up to her. "So you're really alright?"
With a smile, Saten answered. "Yep, I'm back to my old Level 0 self." She then went to hug all of her friends. "I'm sorry for obsessing over something so dumb and cheating in secret. And I'm sorry for putting all of you in danger for me."
"Don't worry about it, I'm just glad you're alright" Mikoto said while hugging her.
"Thank you guys again for waking me up from that nap."
"Actually, Kamijou-san was the one who woke you up." Shirai clarified.
"Huh, you mean that guy Misaka-san brought to us that one day?"
"Yeah, that idiot" Mikoto then smiled and turned to Index. "Turns out he really was useful after all, wouldn't you say Index."
"Yeah!"
"Okay well, I guess I'll have to thank him when I see him again" She then turned to Mikoto and gave her a sly smile. "I'll bet we'll be seeing a lot more of him around won't we Misaka-san"
"W-W-W-What is that supposed to mean?!" Mikoto stuttered while turning red.
"Yeah, everybody knows that I'm the only one for Onee-sama!" Shirai then threw herself on Mikoto once again.
"KUROKO I SAID KNOCK IT OFF"
"Hahaha, Hey guy how about we celebrate me getting out of the hospital and go to a family restaurant and challenge ourselves to their newest parfaits," Saten suggested.
"YEAH!" Index and Uiharu said in Unison.
"Wait are you even allowed to leave the hospital yet?" Mikoto questioned while she was wrestling Kuroko off of her.
"Shhhh," Saten said with a sly smile
Epilogue
As Touma ran frantically through the streets he couldn't stop mentally kicking himself for ditching Accelerator with the bill like that. He probably thought he was an asshole and...wait a minute.
Touma then took out his phone to go check if Accelerator had called him and to his horror, his phone battery had died.
"Such misfortune" he groaned while continuing making his way back to the Restaurant
However, when Touma looked at the streets he noticed something was very off. There was nobody there. The streets were completely deserted all the department stores were emptied and all the cars parked on the side of the roads were too, how long has it been like this.
Before he could even start investigating this he felt a sharp pain in his gut and was sent flying across the street a good 10 meters from where he originally was.
The pain was one thing but Touma had to force himself not to vomit as he wheezed on the ground.
"Sorry about that, if you were wondering why nobody was around that's because Stiyl carved the Opila rune for a people clearing field." when Touma looked up he saw her, The girl wore a T-shirt and jeans with one leg boldly cut off she wasn't more than 10 meters away from him, but he could tell in terms of straight-up power she completely eclipsed him.
"Who are you-" Touma then felt someone punch him straight across the face back onto the ground. When he looked he saw the same magician from yesterday, Stiyl.
"That's for the sucker punch."
The girl then spoke up. "Stiyl that's enough." She then motioned him towards her and he begrudgingly complied.
"I am Kanzaki Kaori. I would say it was a pleasure to meet you, Kamijou Touma, you do seem to live up to your other name, The One who Purifies God and Slays Demons, I didn't know that Academy city had any artificial angels".
Stiyl scoffed. "Oh please, that thing had to be the farthest thing from an angel, just some failed lab experiment."
Touma still reeling in the pain forced his body to get up, he only had his left arm for support since his right was still broken, Touma then noticed the large katana the girl was holding. "Y-You! You're the one who cut up Index. Aren't you!"
Kanzaki clenched her fist. "Please don't make this any harder than it has to be, I'd prefer to get through this without having to use my other name."
"Why the hell can't you guys just leave Index alone!"
She narrowed her eyes and answered, "I would like to take Index back into our care, without having to use that name." Before Touma could even process the information Kanzaki unsheathed her blade and the air above Touma's head was sliced apart like she was wielding a laser. He froze in place shocked that she cut the wind turbine behind him like it was made of butter.
"Why are you guys doing this?"
Kanzaki sighed realizing that he had a right to know, and maybe if he knew her circumstances he would even willingly hand her over, "To save Index."
Touma was in complete shock. "What are you talking about?"
"85% of her brain is taken up by the memories of the 103,000 grimoires."Kanzaki's shoulders trembled slightly. "She only has the remaining 15% to use like normal. If she continues to amass memories like a normal person, her brain will quickly burst."
"What are you saying?" Touma said in disbelief.
"If we don't erase all of Index's memories by the end of July 27 Index will die."
"Y-You gotta be lying right?"
Neither one of the magician's face showed any hesitation.
"You can't be serious! There has to be some other way! You can't take a person's memories away like that! You can't!"
Kanzaki sighed seeing that she had made a mistake, he wouldn't understand. "I'm sorry that you feel that way, so I'll make this as quick as possible." She then proceeded to sheath her blade.
"What are you doing?" Touma asked.
"We're going to incapacitate you for a few days, then we're going to go after your friend Misaka Mikoto and do the same, once that's done we'll take Index back with and that will be that" Kanzaki stated.
"Y-You bastards you can't do this!" Touma screamed.
Both magicians proceeded to walk towards Touma.
"Oi Oi get in line! If anyone gets to beat up this idiot first it's me." All three of them turned their heads and saw a moppy white-haired boy walk towards Touma.
"W-What are you doing here!?" Touma asked frantically.
"TCH! Think you can just stiff me with the fucking bill, did you! I was just gonna let these clowns beat the shit outta you, but then I remembered that you still owe me an explanation and I didn't want to have to wait until you got out of the coma they were going to put you in."
Kanzaki then turned to Stiyl. "I thought you put up a people clearing field."
"I did, I have no idea how this kid got through it," Stiyl answered.
Kanzaki sighed as she unsheathed her blade. "Leave this place now boy if you value your life"
Accelerator then raised his hands as if he was going to surrender and spoke sarcastically. "Oh no! A fucking sword my only weakness"
Kanzaki then narrowed her eyes sufficiently annoyed. "I said leave now you Gnat"
Accelerator then started laughing "Haha I bet that the most amount of damage you'll be able to do against me." Accelerator then pointed to himself. "You see I'm the top dog in Academy city."
Stiyl then narrowed his eyes. "We already took precautions in planning to fight another Level 5 so you won't be any different. So we'll tell you once more, get out of our way or else".
Accelerator then started laughing as he began to move in front of Touma. "You know I was going to let you clowns off with a warning" Once he was in front of Touma he tapped his foot and the ground itself cracked forming a perfectly straight line in front of him covering the whole road including the sidewalk. "But now, that road's closed" He then extended his arm side to side as if challenging them to make a move and with a crazed smile on his face he said.
"So, It's a One Way Road Now."
Omake
A Workday for Kumokawa Seria
First-hour Sogiita Gunha
*Ring Ring*
"Hello, this is the Gemstone research facility."
"He punched another hole through the wall…...sigh….tell them to fill out a T184 Form and we'll mail them a check.
Ring Ring
"Hello Gemstone research facility."
"He never showed up for class this whole semester…..sigh…. I'll fill out a supplementary class pass thank you for calling.
Second-hour Himegami Aisa
"Is she even still alive?" Kumokawa asked
.
.
.
.
.
"Yep still at Misawa Cram School, what a boring girl"
Misawa Cram School
"Achoo!"
"Bless you"
Himegami Aisa then looked side to side. "I feel as though someone just insulted me."
Third, fourth, fifth, sixth, hour Aihana Etsu
"Yep still can't find this person."
Seventh-hour Kamijou Touma
"At least I don't have to worry about you Kamijou-san" she then noticed his incident file was twice as long as everyone else's
Failure to send welfare text - 7
Failure to report for welfare check- 1
Truancy- 3
Aiding and abetting -1
Running away from a Judgement officer-1
Dine and Dashing-1
Kumokawa then slammed her head on the table. "Goddamnit!"
Touma- So Accelerator you excited for our 2 on 2 fight?
Accelerator- What are talking about 2 on 2? It's gonna be a 3 on 1 then a 2 on 1, First, we're all gonna take turns kicking your ass until we're satisfied and then I'm gonna solo those clowns.
Touma- Wait you don't mean?
Accelerator smirks the taps the ground launching Touma flying through the air.
"SUCH MISFORTUNE!"
Accelerator- Tune in next time to watch me carry this fight in Magic vs Science 2 My Science name
Author's Notes
If your wondering if Touma really could've used his ability like that then think about it like this he could've erased Fuse=Kazakiri who is an AIM being made up of all of Academy City AIM, So I think this beta AIM BURST who is only made up of 10,000 would've gone down like a sack of rocks against his Imagine Breaker.
Also, Touma uses nicknames on everybody on his phone
Misaki- Golden Girl
Mikoto-Biri Biri
Accelerator- My Albino Friend
Aogami- Blau
Uiharu- Flower child
