Ok, first off... thank you to all who have read this so far! You have stuck with me through the bouts of pain, of writers block, the random orc invasions... ok, maybe not the last one. Now to answer some stuff...

First off: No Yaoi... Touma is not gay. If he showed signs of being gay... still no. However, one-sided Yuri love triangle will probably occur... Kuroko is a thing, after all.

Second: I apologize for the pacing in the first chapter. Two of the three fanfics have had that problem. I am working on it. Chapter two is fast paced and action packed, but it certainly isnt too fast by most standards.

Third: This takes place after a majority of the arcs. It is AU, but most of the players will be in play at this point.

Fourth: I have slipped some info in the previous chapters as to where I am going. Pay attention. ;)

Thank you all for reading this fanfictions, and any others of mine you read. I appriciate it!

"A Certain Magical Index is not owned by me, I don't make money off this, etc, etc"

The three cabalists had turned around to face the hulking young man who had been behind them, unseen. They had never heard of the magical name Sun7767, nor had they heard of the name Tara333, so they were not too worried. "My name is Mictlan655, I am the darkness that consumes the world!" the Hispanic man said as he pulled out an Obsidian sword that was cloaked in dark, malicious energy. "My name is Psalm1168, the damned will fall before the righteous!" the black-haired teen boy said.

The Hispanic man, who's magical name was Mictlian655, attacked first. He brought his blade down with an overhead swing. The man before him brought his right arm over his head. A smirk appeared on the sword wielder's face. He knew that his when his weapon cut a person, the person would be cursed by the dark energy that coated the blade. That smug look on his face quickly disappeared when the weapon he was wielding shattered upon hitting the arm of his opponent.

"How did you do that?! That blade was stronger than iron!" The cabalist yelled at his opponent. "That is not any of your business. It's MY turn now" his opponent stated. He was about to start a casting a spell when the blue haired magician raised his voice to be heard by him. "We need to hurry up, brother. Use your special ability so we can move on quickly" he stated to the bulkier magician. "As you wish, runt. Can you do a spell that will shut down the cameras and erase all footage from our time here?" the magician by the name of Sun7767 stated. "Already did that" the blue haired magician replied.

The black-haired teen started singing a song of psalms to curse the blue haired teen before him. He realized that the longer the fight dragged out, the worse it would be for them. The blue haired young man, meanwhile, got out a mala and started doing chants of his own. The teenaged Hispanic girl, meanwhile, took an obsidian knife out of her bag and pricked her finger. She then drew a series of Catholic symbols on the floor. Afterwards, she cut her palm with the same knife and let some of the blood fall to the floor onto the symbols she just wrote. "I, Muerte006, call upon the spirits that guard the dead, and the spirits of my ancestors to come and protect us from these usurpers! In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirt, I ask thee!" she called out. Upon doing this a visage of death in a tuxedo, wearing a sombrero, brandishing a scythe and guitar, and painted in day of the dead colors, appeared out of a portal that appeared in the ground.

"Sweet! A challenge!" the larger opposing magician said. "This world is filled with opposites! Yin and yang balance and oppose each other; just as science and magic do. When the two combine, the destruction is cataclysmic! Like when these forces clash, Let the magic and science abilities combine to create ultimate destruction!" The larger magician that was opposing the cabalists started transforming. He started getting larger and more terrifying in looks. He grew to 8.5 feet tall, and became a hulking mass of muscle, sinew, and bone.

The massive, rancorous creature before them charged. The Hispanic man had pulled out an obsidian dagger at this point, and he, along with the visage of death that the young woman had summoned, turned to face him. They charged the transformed magician, a violent clash breaking out in the shopping center. While this was going on, the female cabalist started casting shadow magic spells at the beast before her. As she was doing so, she noticed it wasn't as strong as it usually was.

The black-haired teen had finished his chant. He was waiting for the blue haired teen to fall before him, a victim of the curse he had just cast. He was taken back when the blue magician didn't fall to the floor, reeling in pain. The curse should have started killing his opponent slowly and painfully over time. He shouldn't even be able to function because of the pain that he SHOULD be in. He had jumped up onto a table, and was sitting there, chanting his chants.

His attention was suddenly turned to his leader, Camilla. "Ludwig! Stop playing with that blue haired guy! I need you to focus your attention on this monstrosity over here, or it will be over for us really fast!" She shouted at him. "Aye! Ok Camilla! I will take care of this runt in a little bit!" He said.

They started feeling a drain on their mana, and felt their dampening to their magical abilities. Camellia and Ludwig were about to turn around to the source of what was dampening their ability to cast magic, when the Hispanic man shouted to them "Guys! Worry about that runt later! We have bigger problems in front of us!" He was doing all he could to hold off the beast of wrath that was attacking him and the incarnation of death. His weapons, cloaked in death energy, could not penetrate the thick hide of the monster. The manifestation of holy death itself didn't seem to be getting anywhere either with its assault on the monster before it either.

The beast, meanwhile, only got stronger as the battle raged on. The beast now had four arms instead of 2, a crown of boney spikes, and a tail that was boney and had a barb at the end. The black-haired teen was placing a curse on the beast. It seemed to be affecting him, albeit barely. He noticed that the longer the battle raged on, was that the beast grew stronger. It had taken 7 minutes of non-stop physical combat before a second set of arms had sprouted from him. It was now 3 minutes after that point. They needed to take him down as soon as they could, or they would be done for. Their spells had, however, grown weaker. After deciding to focus on the leviathan before them, the spell effectiveness had dropped off dramatically.

The Hispanic man had already broken 2 daggers and a sickle on the monstrosity looming before him. The summoned avatar of Holy Death was not faring any better. Every blow with his scythe would glance off his opponent. The woman had summoned some smaller visages of death. They looked like walking five-year-old skeletons Two brandished black revolvers, and three of these summoned beings wielded mini machetes.

The black-haired boy started to do incantations again, causing small hex signs to appear in clusters on the ground. They lit up, and started spewing pillars of dark energy into the sky, hitting the creature before him. The visage of Holy Death and his fellow cabalist had already fallen, and most of the "children of muerte" summoned spirits had fallen as well. The Hispanic woman and the black haired Caucasian teen turned to face away from the beast of chaos before them to the teen behind them. As the Hispanic woman was about to cast a final spell at the monster in front of her, before directing her attention towards the blue haired magician. She did not get to finish that spell, as a wave of charged light energy overtook them. With a gust, they were blown into a pillar and a wall, respectively. The fell to the floor, unconscious.

The beast was still rampaging before the blue-haired magician. He charged the magician, about to strike him down. The blue-haired magician did a quick chant, and proceeded to stick out his pointer finger. As the monstrosity was about to attack him, the end of his finger had now been coated with a luminous blue light He took the charged finger and poked the rancorous beast in the middle of the forehead, in the location known as the third eye.

The beast was pushed back and started to transform back to his human form. "Thanks, runt. Tie them up while I get on some new clothes" the taller magician stated. After proceeding to tie up the cabalists, the blue haired magician noticed a pet carrier containing a very frightened constrictor.

"Hey. You find out what they are up to. I am going to return this snake to its owner" the shorter magician stated. "Really, dude? All right, I will let you do whatever you intend on doing. You have always had a thing for reptiles" the larger magician stated as he finished getting dressed. He put on a light leather jacket and waited for the trio to come to. "This ought to be fun" he stated as he waited for the vanquished foes before him to regain consciousness.

Meanwhile, in the advanced science sector….

The orange haired teen had followed the 3 cabalists he was tracking all the way to the advanced science sector. He had not been spotted, and was watching to see what they did next. "Isabella, have you handled our unexpected guests?" the woman asked over a magical communication device. "Affirmative. They have been incapacitated, but not neutralized. The local security forces arrived before we could neutralize them" the girl who had led the attack on Touma and his friends stated. "What about you Camilla?" After a few minutes of silence, she repeated "Camilla? You there?" "If I may, ma'am, my party has seen an abnormally high amount of Anti-Skill patrols while waiting here at point Gamma. There is a high probability that Camilla's party has been neutralized, and that they have failed their objective" Isabella stated. "If that is true, then our mission has been compromised. We need to cut our losses and pull out of the city for a while, with or without Camilla, Santiago, and Ludwig. Dammit! What could have happened to them?!" The tall Hispanic woman asked aloud, to nobody in particular.

"If I may ask, what are you looking for? Tell me and you can leave this city without conflict. If not, things will not go so well" the orange haired youth stated. "Hahahaha! YOU think you can go against US!? I don't sense mana coming from you, so I take it you are an esper, correct?" Antonia asked. "Correct. I don't want anyone to be hurt, for enough people have been hurt already. I don't want you to be hurt, or innocent folks to be hurt" the teen before the magicians stated. "Ha! As if you could do that!" the tall Hispanic woman yelled at him.

The orange haired teenager wasn't going to play around. He simply used his esper powers: pyrokinesis. Aside from shooting fire from his hand, which nearly every pyrokinetic could do, he had a specialty. Every esper's power manifested uniquely to that individual, such as Mikoto Misaka's "railgun." This young man's unique manifestation of his esper power was termed "spontaneous combustion." He could increase the internal heat in any object that produced heat above a certain degree. Additionally, had a better amount of control of his ability than most espers.

The three magicians did not know much about the city, nor about the esper in front of them, therefore they had to be prepared for anything. The two that were currently present, aside from the leader, started to cast their spells. They stopped and fell to the pavement, screaming in agony. After roughly thirty seconds of agonizing pain, they fell unconscious from the shock. Antonia turned to the esper in her. She started feeling a great heat well up in her body. The pain from the burning within her was horrifying. After seventeen seconds, she fell to the ground. "This is your last chance. Take the forces that have not been captured in this city and leave after telling me why you came here. I will let you all leave. However, you will owe my brothers a favor in the future" he stated to her. Her eyes narrowed. "Ok. You have a deal. We were here to find information about an experiment this city conducted called 'project artificial gemstone.' Some major religious leaders in the Americas hired us to find out about it" she told him.

His eyes widened slightly. "Tell me as much as you can about who hired you, what you know, what they know, and as many details as you can about your mission" he replied to her. "In return, I will make sure your group members that were captured will be returned as soon as possible."

She looked at him and spoke up. "You have a deal" she replied. After 20 minutes of interrogation, she awoke her fellow cabalists, and contacted the ones that were waiting at their rendezvous point. "Ok guys. I have secured us, and our captured members, safe passage out of this city. We have thirty minutes to retreat. The one who defeated us will get our fallen allies out as soon as he can. Meet me by the southwest exit passage. Over and out" she stated to her group that was in her presence, and over a magical communique.

Mitsuko Kongou had arrived back at the Tokiwadai dorms without her pet snake, Ekaterina. She was starting to freak out, wondering what had happened to it, when she got a ring from the lobby of the dorm rooms to her room. "She went to the screen to see some young man standing there and holding….. was that Ekaterina's pet carrier?! Mitsuko composed herself. "Hello. My name is Mitsuko Kongou. How may I help you?" she asked in her prim and proper tone of voice. "If I may ask, what business do you have here, young man?" she asked him. "I have Ekaterina" he stated.

This surprised Mitsuko. Most folks were afraid of her snake. Even if they were comfortable around snakes, they would most likely refer to it as "your snake" rather than by its name. "I will be right down!" she exclaimed joyfully.

She hurried up and rushed downstairs. She invited the young man into the commons of the dorm. "Thank you so much. I must have let her at the Dianoid when I left" she said with a blush. "It's no problem. She is quite beautiful. I take it you were going to the veterinarian that was there? She may need some medicine for some mites she is starting to acquire. Other than that, she is in really good health" he said quietly. This surprised Mitsuko. Most people, even those who liked snakes, didn't know enough about them to be able to give them a half decent examination. "What is your name?" she asked him. "My name Is Madoka Yamamoto" the blue-haired boy replied. "Would it bother you if I got your phone number? I would love to keep in contact with you, if you wouldn't mind" she asked him. "Sure. Here is my number" he said as he gave her his phone number. "Thank you so much. I just texted you mine. Say, would you like to stay for some tea?" she asked as her blush intensified. "Okay" he replied.

A week later…

Touma had just woken up from being injured in the fight he was in. "Good. You are finally awake. You were in pretty bad shape when Anti-Skill found you. You have been out for a week. Luckily, you had people that care enough about you on hand to help you out. I think you will be ready to leave in a few days. In the meantime, you have some people who would like to see you" a certain frog-faced doctor stated to him.

"MY PRINCE!" he heard someone yell as they ran into the room. A busty blonde with stars in her eyes came rushing into the room, wearing a Tokiwadai high school uniform. "I have missed you so much! You probably don't remember me, but you saved me from myself once. That summer with you was the best in my life" the girl stated with tears in her eyes. "Due to some tragic events that occurred, I was told that you never would remember me, nor form new memories of me. I thought I never would get to see you again!" the girl said to him, overjoyed. "My name is Misaki Shokuhou. I had given up getting to know you better, until I received this letter yesterday explaining some events that have happened to you, making it possible for you to remember me again. I am overjoyed more than you could possibly believe!" the young woman before him stated as she hugged him close, tears of joy falling from her eyes.

Seria was glaring at Misaki from the doorway of the hospital room. She could understand why she felt the way she did, given the events that prevented her from developing a deeper bond with Touma. However, that didn't mean she had to like it.

"Hello, Touma. I am glad you are feeling better. I was on my way to visit you the day you were attacked. You are my special little kouhai, after all, as you always will be" she told him as she walked over, and gave him a gentle hug. "I am glad to see you too Seria" he told her. "I would like your number, Touma. You have always been very special to me" Seria told him. "Ok. I can do that" he replied to her. "I would like your number as well, and to go on a date. After all, it is the least you could do to the person who has paid your hospital bill" Misaki told him with a wink. "WHAT!? Why did you do that?! You didn't have to! I didn't expect…." Touma had started to say when Misaki put her finger on his lips.

"I know, my prince. You never ask for anything when you help people. That is one of the reasons I love you so much" she stated. "Yes, Kou Misaka states. It is a reason why my sisters and I love you" a red-haired girl with blonde highlights stated. "That girl looks like Mikoto" Seria and Misaki both thought. "Misaka Imouto!? What are you…" Touma started to ask when he was interrupted. "This Misaka wants to be known as Kou Misaka, she states" the girl said. Touma noticed she was talking in the first person more, and was different than she had been in the past. She had dyed and styled her hair, and was wearing something other than the Tokiwadai uniform. She was wearing a red dress with yellow flowers on it. She walked into the room. "I am glad you are ok Touma. You are important to me and the other sisters" she said.

Mii was standing in the corner of the room, a blush on her face, and envy in her heart. "I wish I knew him like those girls over there. He seems like a very nice person. I think I will walk over there to make sure he is doing all right" she thought to herself. "Hi. My name is Mii Konori. I am a friend of Seria. I just wanted to check up on you" she told him. "I am fine. Looking forward to getting out of here" he replied to her. "What you did was heroic. If you want to join Judgement, let me know. Here is my number" she told him, putting it in his phone. "THAT BITCH!" Seria and Misaki thought simultaneously.

"TOUMA! You left me home alone, and that maid that lives next to us, Maika, had to take care of me and Lessar for a week!" Touma heard from doorway. A certain nun walked into the room, tears in her eyes. "I am so glad to see you alive!" Index said loudly, giving him a tight hug (instead of biting him for once). He then heard wailing from the halls. "TOUMA! Thank god! I was worried about you! After they discharged me, I had to wait until you could return! After all you….. you are special to me" Lessar stated, running into the room. She pushed Index and the others off his hospital bed and clamped down on him. "You owe me for that, lover boy. There are a LOT of things I can think that we can do together" she whispered no-so-softly after she regained her composer, and became her normal self. Even though she wanted to do some very adult things to him, she did feel a deep love for him, now more than ever. "TOUMA!" Index cried, before she calmed herself (for once). She was just happy he was alive.

Meanwhile, at a certain boy's dorm:

The former magical god Othinus thought to herself "Dammit! I wish I could be there to greet him! He means so much to me! That human is… special." She thought as her cheeks turned red and warmed up. As this occurred, a slip of paper was slipped underneath Touma's door. On it simply said "to: Othinus." As she walked over onto it to read it, it lit up, words appearing before her. A voice started talking to her.

"To the once magical god named Othinus: I would like to make a deal with you. You do not know me, but I know of you. I would like to help you make your dream of competing with the silver haired sister for the heart of the Imagine Breaker a reality. However, it will come with a price. I can make it so you are not-so-small, and so that your…. ahem…. assets….. are more impressive. This message will self-destruct twenty seconds from when this audio message ends. All that will be left will be a communication rune. Hold onto it. It will allow you to find the time and place to meet up. Do NOT bring the sister or the Imagine Breaker with you, and do not let them find this rune, or the deal is off. You will owe us in return. Ending transmission." Twenty seconds later, true to its word, it started disintegrating. All that was left was a small transmission rune, perfectly sized for the former magical god. She took it, and hid it in her outfit.
