Hello everyone.
This is Multiverse Learner 101.
This one is merely just a preview to a certain future plan that I would eventually do when it comes to my interconnected stories in relation to A Certain Magical Index. And this future plan would take a while before it is ready.
Feedback and suggestions are more than appreciated.

Adele - Skyfall (Lyric Video)
Beginning:
Somewhere in ACMI Universe-Prime...
Touma Kamijou was already well known throughout his world by this point in his life.
A scene would show Touma Kamijou, wearing a uniform consisting of a lorica segmentata personal body armor with the colors of gold and silver with a red tunic underneath, red shorts, a long red cape, at the center of the armor and of the cape sports the labarum (Greek: λάβαρον) which was a vexillum (military standard) that displayed the "Chi-Rho" symbol, a christogram formed from the first two Greek letters of the word "Christ" (Greek: ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ, or Χριστός) — Chi (χ) and Rho (ρ), which was first used by the Holy Roman Emperor Constantine the Great, a symbol that was born from a Divine Private Revelation, for the end of Roman persecutions of the Christians for the past four centuries, and a pair of Caligae military sandal brown boots.
For he is the Holy Roman Centurion. The Hero and Savior of ACMI Universe-Prime.
It had been just a few days since the dreaded forces of the Scarlet King had taken the Multiverse by storm, and with it, ACMI Universe-Prime and countless numbers of worlds are now trying to recuperate from the aftermath of the invasion.
A scene would show Touma Kamijou flying at superspeed above the skies, raising his arms as he grabs hold of the an airplane that was about to crash land at the heart of Academy City, saving many lives in the process. He could be seen landing the airplane gently, already using his freeze breath to cool down the malfunctioning engines of the heat of the flames. And everyone would see from those within range and those who would watch from their television screens.
People from all over the world, both magicians and espers, would look to the skies and see hope.
A scene would show a group of terrorists wearing balaclavas, armed with assault rifles and taking the Bank of America and it's people hostage. And there was nothing but despair throughout the atmosphere. Children would be embracing their parents. The personnel would be terrified as they would immediately give in to the robbers' demands. The New York Police Department's Finest were now on the scene as they blockaded all parts that would lead to a swift exit.
All hope would seem loss. For as the clock kept ticking, so would the trigger happy terrorists would want to at least try to spill some blood in order to prove a point to never be crossed and to be given the demands that they would deserved. Until...One by one...The terrorists would all suddenly disappear and reappear in a flash tied up in various places.
The only one left standing was Touma Kamijou, with his cape flapping gently, as many among the crowd, both adults and children, would see for their own eyes in awe and wonder.
So much has changed. The status quo had been overturned. Millions of people are now aware of the existence of both magic and science.
"We are reporting here live on St. Peter's Basillica when we and thousands of people are now about to bear witness to the Holy Father's Wednesday Audience at precisely 10:00am. According to the report, the Centurion is now about to be received and welcomed by the Holy Father as they would discuss about certain issues in relation to the Roman Catholic Church," the young 22 year old female reporter from CNN would say from the camera which is being shown for all to see.
The plans of many would now need to be rectified and updated.
"And what are the conditions that you would proposed in return for my daughter?"
Spoke Aleister Crowley, the Board Chairman of Academy City, a man who wears a green hospital gown and barefooted, floating upside down, who would now narrow his eyes from within his containment tube in a subtle flash of concern and an absolute interest and the impossible feeling of hope in light of the possible return and revival of his daughter, Lily Crowley. And there was also another form of concern which would affect not just him, but that of everyone else.
"That you would let Touma Kamijou do as he does best."
The man known as the Doctor, a tall, thin-faced man with a tousled mop of silver-grey hair and intense sharp silvery eyes framed by unruly, expressive eyebrows, wearing a navy blue Crombie coat with crimson lining and a midnight blue cardigan, an ivory shirt with a pointing collar, indigo trousers, and black brogue boots. There was two gold ring on his left hand ring finger. One was a normal gold band. The other was a greenish amber setting that rested atop the first band.
"Saving people."
The plans of many would now need to be abandoned.
"In the Hallowed Name of The One Who Is Above All Others, do you fully agree to these conditions and terms under the binding oath, Archbishop Lola Stuart? No...Coronzon."
Spoke Lady Griselda in a tone that was both cold and solemn in posture and dignity, a beautiful woman with dark black hair, worn over by a black-white veil, and emerald eyes that seem both far and near-sighted with depth and experience, wearing the religious habit of a Carmelite nun consisting of brown tunic and scapular, the white toque over the head and shoulders,. There was a belt and rosary worn at the waist, a crucifix worn under the scapular and over the heart, hemp sandals and socks. From her back were hidden eight dove-like wings denoting her status as a member of the Angelus race, specifically from the holy ranks of the Dominations or Dominions.
Castiel, Archangel of the Lord, a handsome man of average height in his thirties, wearing a sports a pair of dress shoes, a black suit, a buttoned white-striped dress shirt, and loosened blue necktie accentuated by a beige trench coat, was standing from the side of the room, narrowing his blue angelic eyes towards the demon in disguise who has her back turned, with her face and expression unseen for now.
The Doctor was standing alongside Castiel, sporting the same narrowed expression, with arms crossed, looking at the archbishop who has her back turned.
After a few moments, Archbishop Lola Stuart would turn her head towards the left, with her eyes narrowed and her expression becoming solemn and hesitant, uttering the words that were tinged in irritation and demeanor, but would not dare utter a word of rejection in fear of the woman who was more than she appeared to be.
"I solemly accept."
The people would now see Touma Kamijou for what he was. And the children...They would look up to him with gladness of heart.
A scene would show Touma Kamijou dropping down from the ground, with a kitten being carried gently from his arms, as he would give it towards the young girl who was smiling at Kamijou while embracing the kitten. And the other children would gather in awe and wonder at the mysterious caped figure who could only sport a mysterious gentle smile before taking off so suddenly.
Many would look up and see hope even in the midst of conflict.
A scene would show the battles erupting throughout the Registan Desert, also known as Rigestan Desert, is an extremely arid plateau region located between Helmand and Kandahar provinces in southeastern Afghanistan. United States Army soldiers, armed with their respective weapons consisting of M4A1 carbines, CZ Scorpion Evo 3 9mm carbines, FN SCAR gas-operated automatic rifles among others, as they all take cover from enemy fire from ISL insurgents. And the US soldiers were returning fire as they were covering from the civilians.
And as the battle rages on, the firing would suddenly stop in the next few seconds later, all without a single sound. And that would force the US soldiers, confused as to what had just happened, to look up and see for themselves. For they would see the knocked out insurgents who were all lying on the floor, with their AK-47 gas-operated assault rifles and other respective weapons cut in half, with the hint of intense heat that managed to do the job. And the strangest part is that these insurgents were simply knocked out, no casualties whatsoever.
Afterwards, some soldiers would begin to call out for their fellow soldiers and see Touma Kamijou hovering a few meters from the air, sporting an expression of concern. And the soldiers, followed by the civilians who were slowly coming out of their hiding places, could only stare in awe and wonder at the floating figure bearing the armor of a Roman centurion and the symbol that he carries from his chest and cape.
And from the background, many high level espers would see him with a sense of admiration, and also that of affection on the part of the maidens of enclosure.
A scene would show Touma Kamijou, sitting on a chair, was sporting a curious expression as he would notice the Tokiwadai students throughout the surrounding area gossiping about him, with some even showing a more maiden and affectionate side, admiring him from afar like the princesses locked in a tower. And Kamijou would look at Misaki Shokuhou and Mikoto Misaka who could only sport amused expressions on their faces while sitting on their chairs, giggling at the predicament that the spiky-haired boy was now facing.
Another scene would show Accelerator, with Esther Rosenthal, Last Order, Misaka Worst, and Qliphah Puzzle 545 walking alongside him, as they were sporting curious expressions, watching the current news where Touma Kamijou had once again saved the day and managed to put a stop to a group of ill-prepared individuals who were using magical abilities.
"Another day for the fucking hero, huh," Accelerator would softly mutter to himself.
Life as it seems continue to move forward in spite of the traumatic invasion in spite of the status quo. Everything seem peaceful in spite of current issues sprouting up which are being handled by the proper authorities, with the help and assistance of Touma Kamijou who would begin to help everyone in the best way that he can.
But then...
A warning would come forth. And it was a warning that Kamijou would heed wit the utmost importance.
"What is it, Strange-sensei?," Kamijou would ask out of concern.
Kamijou was looking at one of the twelve main teachers and mentors that he had the pleasure of learning. To Dr. Stephen Vincent Strange MD–PhD, Master of the Mystic Arts and Sorcerer Supreme, a man in his mid-thirties, a handsome man with gentlemanly features, who appeared to be in his mid-thirties, with combed well-kept hair with grey sides and a meticulously trimmed goatee, wearing yellow gloves, a blue tunic robe worn all over the body, and a scarlet red cape from his back that is known as the Cloak of Levitation, along with a mystical artifact that is worn around his neck that is known as the Eye of Agamotto.
Accompanied alongside Dr. Strange was Index Librorum Prohibitorum, a young woman who was about 14 or 15 years old. Her waist-length hair was silver, and her skin was as white as snow. Her eyes were the color of emeralds. However, what made one realize that she was a foreigner the most was her outfit. She wore a Christian nun's habit that was pure white with gold-laced embroidery made of golden thread that had been sewn in. It managed to possess the characteristic look of an ostentatious nouveau riche teacup.
And as of now, she is officially a student of the Mystic Arts under the tutelage of Dr. Stephen Strange, training to make use of the 103,000 grimoires that were all inside of her head. And she too was sporting an expression of concern and attentiveness.
Dr. Strange would begin to look at Kamijou with a sense of concern and caution.
"The invasion of the Scarlet King's forces have made the boundaries between the worlds of your multiverse quite thin if one were to be honest. And that has me concerned. For as you may well know, Touma, that the Multiverse is an infinite and ever expanding collection of multiple universes with laws that are either similar or different from one's own. It is a concept about which many would know frighteningly little. And with this knowledge, one must be aware of the reality of such a topic, for as there are positive worlds, so can there be negative worlds. And I'm afraid that it is because of the invasion that the doorways between worlds had been opened. And we don't know who or what would come through it."
Somewhere in ACMI Universe-2149...
This is the end
Hold your breath and count to ten
Feel the Earth move and then
Hear my heart burst again
"Where to even begin...I guess you could say that it all started with a crimson flash in the sky and a ripple through the clouds. Nobody knows what caused this exactly, but by some kind of mysterious phenomenon involving some kind of equation that somehow made itself known throughout every single digital device throughout the entire world. And then...everything went to hell pretty fast," Ruiko Saten monologued, with a sad smile, sitting on a chair.
Touma Kamijou (ACMI Universe-Prime) was now presently on his feet after suddenly getting transported by a distorted phenomenon and managed to make landing in a crouch-like position. He narrows his eyes out of concern as he sees the following.
The remains of what was once known to be Academy City, seeing the broken glasses of the windows, the destroyed automobiles, the littered dead bodies through the bloodied streets that seem to have been ripped apart and bitten, and many were no more than mere skeletons without any form of flesh left, denoting something that was once consuming them.
Touma Kamijou would begin to crouch towards the corpse, type something from the holographic projection screen present from his wristwatch and don a pair of shades that would allow him to inspect the body. And throught the Detective Mode function, he seem to get the following.
"Signs of a physical struggle. Seem to have been devoured alive, and couldn't even put up a fight. Blood loss seems to be a given based on the dried traces found on the asphalt floor. Bite marks that seem to be found in the torso. Eye sockets must have been forcibly pulled off and bitten in the struggle. Nose appeared to be damaged and bitten as well. Then there's..."
And then, Kamijou would sense something. For his Imagine-Sense was providing him with a sensory warning. And he would heed that it by make himself automatically disappear from possible eyesight.
Now that he was invisible even to the point of physical appearance and body odor being covered, making use of one of the unique abilitie of the dragons that were inside of him, would begin to softly step back from the corpse, take off his shades, and begins to watch from the east.
And what he found was something that would surprise him, with a feeling of subtle dread as he sees what appeared to be middle school students, female from the looks of it. But there was something terribly off about them. For their sailor fuku uniforms were completely drenched in dried blood. And their faces and entire appearance appeared to look decomposed...Just like an undead...Just like...
"Zombies. Of course," Kamijou muttered softly, with his eyes narrowed, slowly stepping back and allowing the zombies to pass from his location undetected.
And Kamijou would take into account the curious and slasher-like smiles that were just waiting to pounce upon fresh meat and devour them whole. And there was something else that he felt off from these types of zombies. For he felt a malevolent force behind them all, uttering phrases from within which were only heard in the deepest parts of his soul and which made the dragons growl in divine anger, recognizing the phrases anywhere.
For who among those who are older than the universe itself wouldn't have known as to what this dreaded phrases truly are.
For they are a prayer of sorts. Twisted and corrupted. Found within the innermost depths of one's own reality.
"loneliness + alienation + fear + despair + self-worth ÷ mockery ÷ condemnation ÷ misunderstanding ⋅ guilt ⋅ shame ⋅ failure ⋅ judgment n=y where y=hope and n=folly, love=lies, life=death, self=dark side."
And this in turn would make Touma Kamijou's eyes widen in dread, finally recognizing just what he is truly up against.
"...Oh no."
For this is the end
I've drowned and dreamt this moment
So overdue, I owe them
Swept away, I'm stolen
"And within the next twenty-four hours that was followed by a few 28 days later, the plague had finally consumed the entire planet. That was all it took to end an entire world." Saten monologued, with a sad smile and with her eyes almost sporting tears that were in danger of leaking because of the sorrowful realization of the implications regarding their current situation, sitting on a chair.
Academy City.
It is the most advanced city in the world and its technology is said to be 20 or 30 years ahead of the world. Academy City is composed of 23 districts, called School Districts which are simply numbered from one to twenty-three and each of these districts have a specific purpose, and the city as a whole is roughly 1/3 the size of Tokyo. Estimated population of this city appeared to be numbered in 2.3 million and possibly more, with 80% being made up of students and children, while the adults form the remaining 20%.
Now...
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"No! No! No! Please don't! AHHHHHH!"
"Let's get the hell out of he-AHHHHHH!"
It was a pure bloodfest. People were eating and devouring each other. A potent virus from two far away realities had begun to infect the population. Students devouring students. High Level espers devouring Lower Level espers. The streets were greatly overrun. Nothing could stop the madness. The containment would fail. Everyone would die every single time. Shots were fired from all directions, to no avail, as Anti-Skill and the rest of the military were completely overrun by the rampaging devourers that were once the students of Academy City. And soon, they would spread througout other parts of the world.
Scenes of almost every Level 5 becoming infected within the first hour, much to the horror of many, especially those who were close by as they were the first to either be snacks or become like them. Scenes of espers and magicians getting infected. Scenes of nothing but blood, gore, and death throughout the entire world, with multiple people, friends and family, man, woman, and child, either getting consumed or infected.
It was then that two young women, Ruiko Saten and Frenda Seivelun, would try to find a way to survive the madness that was spreading everywhere. And they would tend to make themselves scarce and hide deep underground and wait it out for a few more days at most, before eventually heading out to loot for available food from abandoned convenience stores, staying out of sight from the infected as much as possible, seeing the same infected tearing other people apart to their horrified expressions and knowing to themselves that there was nothing that they could truly do except for two things. Running and hiding. Trying to keep their scent off of the infected.
And it was also at this time that they would ultimately have to assume the worst. That their friends and love ones are either dead or are one of them. And in turn would let them find the one thing that would make Frenda Seivelun drown in the pit of despair.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
For she was currently embracing the dead body of her younger sister, Fremea Seivelun, who had been devoured alive. Nothing remained of her except the pile of skeleton bones and her entire body ripped in half, along with the disheveled clothing and hat.
And so they hid themselves, with Frenda Seivelun vehemently insisting on bringing the corpse of her beloved sister to their next safehouse underground. Waiting. Just the two of them. All alone.
Until...
A soft knock on the door would put the two on edge as Frenda would begin to grab hold of her side arms and aim at the door, with her fingers beginning to tremble, while Saten was carrying the experimental baseball bat that she got from one of the abandoned laboratories that they looted, with her grip trembling as well. Both Saten and Frenda were crying and were truly afriad of what is now about to ha. For the past 28 days, they were trying to hide from the monsters who were once their friends and family. Now they believed that they had found them.
However...
"Saten-san, Frenda-san, please open the door. I'm not one of them."
It was Touma Kamijou.
And that would lead to the following conversation that would happen later on.
"Ka-Kamijou?!"
Saten muttered in shock. For she recognized the name anywhere. Yes...in a time during the Daihasei Festival, when she would give her mother's lucky charm to the spiky-haired boy who would continue to look for a protective charm as part of a challenge for the participating students. And she would also recall this same spiky-haired boy to be closely associated with a friend who may in fact no longer be the same person she knew.
"Listen, I'm coming in. Frenda-san, don't shoot and save your ammo. Firstly, it would be a waste to unload the ammo on me. Secondly, save it for those monsters that are out there. On the count of three, I'm going to come in and use one of my abilities. Once you see me, you know that I'm not one of them. Whether or not you trust me is up to you, but just hear me out for one second."
And so, a countdown that would put both of the young girls on edge were about to cry once again. Looking at their appearances, they look awful. The past few days of nothing but trauma, the weight of losing their own family members, friends and love ones was now taking a toll on them. They didn't know who to trust at this point. And all that they really had was each other. And they both take a glance towards each other, making their way towards another.
If they were to die right now, then...they'd rather die together. And that would be symbolized by the action of nodding towards each other.
"One."
A second counted down. The trigger from the side arms would be flinching, itching to make use of the guns at the last moment just in case.
"Two."
Another second counted down. One more and they would make themselves ready for what is about to come.
Finally...
"Three."
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..."
Then, Touma Kamijou would suddenly phase through the locked door, much to the surprise and screaming reactions of Ruiko Saten and Frenda Seivelun who would take notice of the latter.
Only to find something off.
"...HHHHHHhhhhhhhuhhhh?,"
For they would notice Touma Kamijou wearing what appeared to be a personal body armor with the colors of gold and silver with a red tunic underneath, red shorts, a long red cape, at the center of the armor that has a cape attached to it.
They would look towards the spiky-haired boy, noticing the fact that he was not one of them based on his physical appearance, with his skin being normal instead of decaying. Instead of the slasher-like smile, there was the gentle expression and reassuring smile. And his hands were raised to the air in an act of reassurance and would slowly mutter the following words.
"Calm down...I don't mean any harm...I'm not one of them...And if you don't trust me, you can check for yourselves..."
And checked him they did once they get their bearings right, checking from top to bottom for any bite or scratch marks, with the bottom part being a bit of an embrassment to the two young women. After verifying that he is in fact not infected. The two young women could only cry as they would embrace Kamijou, who in turn would embrace the two, patting them gently in the back, and speaking words of reassurance.
"It's alright, it's alright. Let it all out. Let it all out."
And after a few moments later would lead back to the next conversation.
"And what about you, Kamijou-san? Where exactly have you been? How come you don't know what seemed to have happened for the past few days if what your questions were anything to go by?" Saten asked, as she and Frenda, with sad, grim expressions devoid of any hope, were all looking towards Touma Kamijou, who was sporting a grim expression, with arms crossed, and with serious eyes of concern looking towards the both of them, leaning to a wall.
It was then that Touma Kamijou, seated on a chair, would sport a grim expression, uttering the words that would have both young women pay close attention.
"Tell me, Saten-san, Frenda-san, what do you know about parallel worlds?"
One scene would show the following.
Touma Kamijou would grab hold of his holy weapon — Holy Crucifix Starsaber of Rome and of the Holy Land — and transform it into an ancient sword that symbolizes true bravery, with a flash of holy white light that would make both Ruiko Saten and Frenda Seivelun sport curious and awed expressions.
The meaning behind this function of the holy weapon was this. It was a symbol of learning the true meaning of bravery. For bravery does not mean the absence of fear. Rather, to have the greatest fear and the will to acknowledge and face it.
And Kamijou had learned this lesson for many lifetimes ago.
And upon close inspection, there appeared to be inscriptions written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek. And there would be a phrase that would symbolize the rank that he carries and represents.
"Whosoever holds this Crucifix, if they be worthy, shall possess the power and blessing of the One True GOD."
And thus, as he made himself ready, so too did Ruiko Saten and Frenda Seivelun.
Saten, with her disheveled middle school sailor fuku clothing, would make use of her experimental electrostatic baseball bat that would pack the punch against the undead monsters. Frenda in turn, wearing her disheveled black sailor top and pleated skirt, would make use of her specialized equipment, the more recognizable being her dolls that would be set to explode upon any target of her choosing.
And so, they made themselves ready as they head out towards the outside world. A world crawling with the unholy dead.
"Lord IT, I'm ready."
As Touma Kamijou called out to the inner depths of his own being, there was the presence of a powerful dragon god who stood tall, with wings flapping and growling like the pre-apex predator, with the eye slits narrowed.
"So be it, Imagine Breaker," uttered the ancient divine beast, with the eyes flashing a bright light, symbolizing the necessity to use the powers of the dragons for this particular situation at an approriate level of strength.
Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
Touma Kamijou would strike with swifter speed, with the help of his armor and through the use of his dragon powers, slashing through every single zombie horde within his line of sight, cutting off the stem of their necks in order to truly put an end to the abominations and give their souls their extremely needed rest, with the blade itself, sporting the color purple that would symbolize both the Light and the Dark Side of the Force at the command of the user. He would simultaneously switch his sword into other weapon functions when needed.
Then he would also use Electric Judgment Barrage which as a variant of Force Lightning that allowed him to create a bolt of lightning up from the ground damaging anything in its way, shocking and burning the zombies to a mere crisp.
We will stand tall
Face it all together
"Raaaaaaaagh-AHH!"
Ruiko Saten would begin to use her baseball bat to unleash an shockwave of electricity in a straightfoward pattern that would shock the zombies where they stood, with Frenda Seivelun unleashing her explosive dolls on the monsters that would begin to explode, vaporizing the abominations where they stood.
Somewhere from the Time Vortex, the TARDIS was spinning fast, with the Doctor, sporting a grim expression, was typing and punching the coordinates as he dash throughout the main console room, pressing each lever and switch.
Somewhere in an open road along the abandoned highway, there were three men inside a black 1967 Chevrolet Impala, with the license plate: Kansas KAZ 2Y5, who were sporting serious narrowed expressions.
The first man wears a plaid red shirt, a black leather coat that once belonged to his father, gray jeans, and brown boots as his footwear. He has green eyes, light freckles on his face and short-cropped Ivy-league hair that is dark blonde. He is 6'1" in average height and is rather muscular. He is noted to be "handsome" or even "pretty" by other people that were around him constantly.
Dean Winchester.
The second man wears a plaid blue shirt, with a blue jacket, blue jeans. He has shaggy long and smoother brown hair and a beard that he had grew in that denotes the many years of his life as an experienced hunter of the supernatural and no longer the same young man that he used to be. His eye color appears to be brown and is noted by other people to be handsome. He is very tall, 6'4" (195.58 cm) as well as having a muscular build with broad shoulders and a muscular chest. This is especially ironic to many considering that he used to be teased for being short and wiry as a teenager.
Sam Winchester.
The the third man was handsome and of average height in his thirties, wearing a sports a pair of dress shoes, a black suit, a buttoned white-striped dress shirt, and loosened blue necktie accentuated by a beige trench coat, was standing from the side of the room, narrowing his blue angelic eyes towards the demon in disguise who has her back turned, with her face and expression unseen for now.
Castiel.
Dean was currently at the wheel, driving without any sense of stopping as he rams over a couple of esper zombies who were trying to breach the shields of the Impala, to no avail as they get instantly vaporized along the way.
Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
Touma Kamijou would employ a battle stance on the ready, with an expression that was both grim and sad, as one scene after another would show two familiar faces, Mikoto Misaka and Misaki Shokuhou, sporting slasher smiles, with tongues sticking out and licking their blood-stained mouths, denoting a sign of hunger and arousing interest at the spiky-haired man armed with his holy weapon.
"Now you hold still, you idiot...And let me eat you whole! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!," Zombie Mikoto Misaka exclaimed with a cruel laughter, with red colored electricity coming out from her entire body and creating many scorch marks throughout the pavement, with her entire appearance completely disheveled, her Tokiwadai Middle School winter uniform torn to shreds and was no longer carrying the red bowtie.
And the lightning that would spread out would be blocked by Kamijou's Imagine Breaker, unleashing the sound of shattered glass. And Kamijou was sporting a narrowed expression, with the Shield of Aptitude located to his left, sporting a bright holy light of absolution that would be unleashed at the fallen #3.
We will stand tall
Face it all together
"I won't let you get away from me, my Prince, for since you finally know who I am after so very long...we are DEFINITELY going to have a nice quiet talk," Zombie Misaki Shokuhou would put a remote to her chin in a seductively suggestive manner, with Kamijou being on edge as he is currently surrounded by a zombified Junko Hokaze and many members of Shokuhou's clique.
And as the zombified Level 3 and 4 espers of Tokiwadai would surround him from all sides, Kamijou would suddenly utter one single word in an act of pure faith and determination.
"VADE RETRO SATANA! ("Begone Satan!")
He would strike the Sword of Bravery towards the ground, unleashing a tremendous shockwave of holy light that manages to turn those around him nearby to dust and ashes, with Shokuhou managing to evade with the help of Junko who managed to use her Rampage Dress to get away at the last second and carry Shokuhou by the waist.
At Skyfall
At Skyfall
Dr. Stephen Strange, sporting a narrowed expression, and Index Librorum Prohibitorum, sporting a saddened and horrified expression, almost to the point of tears leaking down from her cheeks, as they would begin to confront the Zombified Kaori Kanzaki and Stiyl Magnus in order to put them out of their misery.
Kanzaki, sporting a slasher smile, would slowly unsheathe Shichiten Shichitou from the scabbard while Stiyl, sporting a slasher smile, would summon Innocentius, a corrupted form affected by the HUNGER that also would want to devour everything in sight. Surrounding them from all sides were zombies that were once ordinary civilians.
At that point, Dr. Strange and Index would unleash orange magic circles from the fingertip of their hands that performed a set of gestures. And the latter would have her emerald eyes shining brightly, automatically activating John Pen's Mode which is now under her control, making use of her training.
"Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis. ("Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.")," uttered Dr. Strange.
"Eli Eli Lema Sabachthani. ("Lord, why have you forsaken me?")," uttered Index Librorum Prohibitorum.
Skyfall is where we start
A thousand miles and poles apart
"...P-Please..."
Rakko Yumiya, wearing her disheveled long-sleeve shirt and black skirt, would begin to crawl away in fear as she spotted Teitoku Kakine cornering her from the alleyway, sporting a slasher smile on his face, exclaiming.
"Nowhere for you to run now, traitor. Why don't you join us now and end this little sharade? Don't worry, I'll make it quick."
"...No."
And right as he was about to pounce at Rakko who was sporting a horrified expression...
"UGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!"
A bright light would suddenly engulf towards their location, knocking Kakine out by a few meters away, with his skin clearly burning and would try to stand up and roll over, to no avail.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH! GODDDDDDDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMM! ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! IT BURNS! IT BURNS! IT BURNS! IT BURNS! IT BURNS! IT BURNS! IT BURNS!"
Out came Touma Kamijou who had used the Shield of Aptitude to struck Kakine down and send him to his current position. Kamijou would begin to look towards Rakko who was sporting a shocked expression, with his right hand raised in a gesture of reassurance.
"Come with me if you want to live."
"Stay behind me!"
Touma Kamijou ordered with authority, with both hands place near Ruiko Saten, Frenda Seivelun, and Rakko Yumiya's waistlines, who were all gathered and taking cover from Touma's back as multiple infected espers and magicians surrounding them, keeping them safe from within his distance as his eyes narrowed, turning from black to yellow, denoting the sign of a dragon lurking beneath him.
And then, he would begin to join and clap both hands together, creating a thunderous shockwave that would suddenly have thunderbolts hit the charging zombies and turn them into nothing but pillars of salt, killing them instantly, likened to that of the biblical story of Lot wherein Sodom and Gomorrah would turn into pillars of salt.
Where worlds collide and days are dark
The Zombified Accelerator would tend to charge head on towards Touma Kamijou without a care in the world. After all, he was and is still is the strongest, whether dead or alive.
And he is going to make the spiky-haired boy wish that he was dead after he eats him whole.
It was likened to a slow motion. Almost as if time would stop. And. Then. A. Few. Moments. Later. Right as Accelerator begins to fly right towards Kamijou in a dash of speed with arms raised, suddenly...
A right hand would punched Accelerator in the face, sending him straightfoward in the next few meters, crashing from building to building to building as they all tumbled downm and crash to the ground due to the support beams being heavily damaged, with the rubble forming misty grey smoke.
You may have my number, you can take my name
But you'll never have my heart
Touma Kamijou stopped from his tracks, seeing Ruiko Saten sporting a concerned expression, tugging him from the shoulders with her right trembling hand. Saten's eyes, leaking in tears and her mouth trembling, was looking straight towards Kamijou's concerned eyes.
Kamijou in turn would take note of Frenda Seivelun and Rakko Yumiya who were sporting more or less the same concern as Saten was for him.
Let the sky fall (let the sky fall)
When it crumbles (when it crumbles)
"Time to feast on your GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTS!"
Exclaimed a Zombified Gunha Sogiita as he plunges straight towards Touma Kamijou, only to be firmly denied by the Shield of Aptitude which sends a shockwave of holy light that manages to send Gunha crashing to the pavement a few hundred meters away, destroying any automobiles nearby.
We will stand tall (we will stand tall)
Face it all together
"Hold still you piece of shit! Let met kill you and fuck with your remains!"
Cursed and roared a Zombified Shizuri Mugino who was firing high-speed particle-wave cannon from many angles which were being parried by Kamijou's right hand, negating them, with the sound of shattering glass being heard and echoed throughout the abandoned facility.
Let the sky fall (let the sky fall)
When it crumbles (when it crumbles)
We will stand tall (we will stand tall)
Face it all together
At Skyfall
Touma Kamijou would begin to unleash other weapons within the Holy Crucifix Starsaber.
He would make use of the Bow of Wisdom, an ancient bow that symbolizes the lesson of learning the real meaning of wisdom. The wisdom that comes from the heart, and not from the mind. And he would fire it upon the enemy zombie civilians who were charging at him from all sides, killing them instantly with each arrow that was tagged and turning them into pillars of salt.
On another occasion, he would make use of the Whip of Justice, an ancient whip that symbolizes the lesson of learning the real meaning of justice. True justice is not served when you rampage in anger or by shunning revenge upon those who you want to get even with. And he would use to perform the street sweeper ability that helps in dismembering and vaporizing multiple zombies surrounding with an eccentric 360-degree swath.
On another occasion, he would make use of the Spear of Valor, ancient spear that symbolizes the lesson of learning the real meaning of valor. Fulfilling your duty despite of anything. Doing the right thing without asking for recognition. And he would make use of it to perform poking and stabbing maneuvers, with a few throws in a 360-degree angle that managed to cut down more of the zombies with with an eccentric 360-degree swath.
Then he would make use of the Shield of Aptitude, an ancient shield carrying the symbol of Chi-Rho which symbolizes the lesson of learning the real meaning of aptitude. And that would requite the lesson of learning from oneself instead of others, for this only means that a student can sometimes learn from itself, even without it's master's words. And he would make use of it to perform throwing attacks that would cut down many of the zombies before grabbing it back and knocking them down with each shield strike forward and sideways.
Ruiko Saten, Frenda Seivelun, and Rakko Yumiya were back-to-back as they fired everything they got at the charging zombie civilians through the use of hand guns. And Touma Kamijou would unleash Holy Barrage which would send three sacred holy light crosses towards the undead horde and vaporize them to ashes.
Where you go, I go
What you see, I see
I know I'd never be me
Without the security
Of your loving arms
Keeping me from harm
Put your hand in my hand
And we'll stand
Two opposing sides are against each other.
Both variants of the young woman named Index Librorum Prohibitorum. One who still retained her innocence and wisdom. The other who succumb to a madness that was not of her own fault nor doing. One who was from ACMI Universe-Prime and another from ACMI Universe-2149.
The confrontation was tense.
And as both narrowed their eyes towards each other, the Zombie Index would be the first to say in a tone that seemed to be innocent and child-like, were it not for the blood that was flowing down upon her slasher-like mouth.
"After I kill you, then Touma would return to me. That's right! After I kill the imposter, Touma would return to me! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!"
Index Librorum Prohibitorum could only narrow her eyes at her poorly deluded and corrupted counterpart with nothing but extreme sympathy.
"And I promise that I will ensure that you will find peace."
And as she uttered the words, she would begin to utter the following incantation, with both hands performing specific gestures.
"Omnipotens Vishanti protinus ipse. Removere spell quod nubibus mentis et faciam illud ad tuam. ("Omnipotent Vishanti empower myself. Remove the spell that clouds my mind and make it unto thine own.")"
And then, the sudden gusts of wind would begin to erupt from within Index, as if the power of the air seem to be by her side, with the damaged blades of the wind turbines turning towards her direction, and it was one that was making her zombie counterpart to seeemingly get blown away at least in part before holding her ground and uttering words that would ensure her supremacy.
"Warning: Chapter 22, Verse 1. New enemy confirmed. Changing combat considerations. Beginning scan of the battlefield…done. Focusing on the destruction of the most difficult enemy, myself. Seven seconds until the complete activation of the spell named Eli Eli Lama Sabachthani."
And then, a blood red beam of light surged out.
And it would fire towards Index, who would take the brunt of the impact without any form of harm, with the only damages being her surrounding area. And Index in turn would slowly float to the air, sporting orange magic circles from the tip of her palms, forming a protective shield around her.
"Versum I ad 35. Psalmus David 104. Benedicite Domino, o anima mea! Domine Deus meus, tu es nimis! Et decorem et gloriam vestiti estis cum splendore, ut cum vestimentum, et extendens caelum sicut tabernaculum. Ponit trabes gazofiónibus super aquas; Et facit nubes currum suum; Et invehit in alis venti; Facit angelos suos, ministros suos ignem. Posuit terram super fundamentis, ut non sit motus. ("Verse 1 to 35. Psalm of David 104. Bless the Lord, O my soul! O Lord my God, you are very great! You are clothed with splendor and majesty, covering yourself with light as with a garment, stretching out the heavens like a tent. He lays the beams of his chambers on the waters; he makes the clouds his chariot; he rides on the wings of the wind; he makes his messengers winds, his ministers a flaming fire. He set the earth on its foundations, so that it should never be moved.")"
The winds in turn, seemingly commanded under an act of divine authority, and it was one that would seemingly blow away any zombie that was near by and sent them flying from multiple directions. Violently rotating columns of air that is in contact with both the surface of the Earth and a cumulonimbus cloud. In other words, a tornado. Several of them were seen from the thunderous grey cumulonimbus clouds as it would begin to rain down and dripped through Index's face and body.
And thus, Index would peform a fluid motion of the arms, allowing herself to be at harmony with the winds and the water and make use of it against her enemy, who in turn was about to unleash a barrage of infernal fire through the use of another spell.
"Warning: Chapter 35, Verse 18. Five seconds until complete activation of Sulfur Rain will Scorch the Earth."
Orange arrow-like objects that held a scorching heat rained down.
It was not just a few.
Almost a thousand or so arrows appeared from up above and fell down toward Index and would try to hit her, but to no avail as a specific shield was negating every single attack.
And then, Index would parry with her own, referencing something long forgotten.
"Aqua de Vida. ("Fountain of Youth")"
And she would unleash the flood that would wash down every zombie from within it's range, and it would have to included the Zombie Index who would be quickly surrounded by materialized waterfalls and engulfing her from within, all as the thunder strikes across the skies.
Let the sky fall (let the sky fall)
When it crumbles (when it crumbles)
We will stand tall (we will stand tall)
Face it all together
Touma Kamijou would begin to unleash Divine Tempest, sending enemies into the air with divine telekinetic might through the raising of one's hands. Eventually, he performed a twisting maneuver and managed to cut down a few zombies, parrying electric attacks from a few esper zombies and redirected it back at them, shocking them in turn.
John Constantine would simply take a casual walk and phase through the incoming zombies, turning them into a pile of ashes that managed to surprise many of them, if only a little too late as the former would say.
"Fuego! ("Fire!")"
Raising both of his arms, unleashing fire magic which would burn hotter than the very sun, and performing a circular motion that engulfs anyone that would dare cross his path.
Zatanna Zatara, who was not far behind, would begin to utter.
"Tsud."
Which in turn automatically kills the zombies from within a hundred meters of her position, turning them into nothing but dust tha is to be blown by the wind.
Let the sky fall (let the sky fall)
When it crumbles (when it crumbles)
We will stand tall (we will stand tall)

At Skyfall
Somewhere in the void was a being of great power who would now shatter his way through the barrier.
Devastating forms of energy would abrupt and be projected from this being. For it was the Being who would wield the Power Cosmic, a vast source of limitless, godly, cosmic energy and power. He wore an advance set of armor, with the colors of gold and silver, with two pointed C-shaped silver antennas, and sported gold colored eyes. His height was estimated to be about 28′9″ (8.76 m), although the height itself is arbitrary at best for it can be variable and shaped just as this being saw fit.
For he is the Lifebringer.
For he is Galactus.
For he came alone. Not with his Heralds. But with him alone.
Yes. He came as a favor for an old friend, the Lord of Time, and would do what needed to be done to restore order, for this potent virus that plagues ACMI Universe-2149 was his jurisdiction to manage properly and contain to the best of his power and ability.
And contain it he shall.
The corrupted Phases, once influenced through the many religions of the world: Christian, Buddhist, Celtic, Indian, Shinto, Incan, Aztec, Greek, Roman, Norse, and many others which have arisen throughout history have had the effect of applying various Phases to the world, because of the corruption was now in a state of eternal decay where there was only the color of death. For most of everyone had their faith(s) corrupted and turned into something twisted, becoming something that is a danger to oneself and the rest of existence.
And these Phases would seem to rumble as the thundering of yellow cosmic energy seem to be crashing from above with such brute force that would have ACMI Universe-2149 shaken, to the ends of infinity.
And the Golden Being was now breaching through this corrupted universe and cleansing it of the vile Anti-Life that had spread from one corner to the next, washing away the filth of the deceased from every Phase that had made contact with this being.
From another side, there was nothing but a corrupted and zombified Magic God, once known as Othinus, sporting a slasher smile on her face, with her clothes as she exclaimed in a corrupted tongue who had long forgotten her wish to return to her original world and wanted nothing more than to spread the GOSPEL OF HUNGER to other worlds, thinking that it was her chance to act now while she still can, for the walls that were sealing this universe were breached and were now allowed for one to escape.
"GLORY AND PRAISE FOR THE GOSPEL!"
As the blasphemous tongue sprang forth from the Fallen Magic God who carries the corrupted Gungnir that seem to carry the same form of corruption as the Phases and is now about to be aimed towards the Being without fear.
But the Golden Being could only raise his right hand, stopping the spear from it's tracks, narrowing his golden eyes in utter silence, with a look of pity only to be found upon the Magic God that was but a mere shadow of it's former self.
"And Galactus shall not yield to the likes of you, Little Godling."
And with the clench of his fist, the spear would seemingly disperse and disappear into mere nothing.
Let the sky fall
We'll stand tall
At Skyfall
Ooh
Touma Kamijou, Ruiko Saten, Frenda Seivelun, and Rakko Yumiya were sporting grim and determined expressions as they walk without falter, walking pass the ruins and deceased remains littered throughout the streets.
And as they walked by, the memories of everyone in ACMI Universe-2149 who had fallen into that of the undead would be pondered in the minds of these individuals as they begin their trek towards the uncharted world where nothing can ever be the same.
Ending:
