A Certain Scientific Vampire Killer

Chapter 17: The Final Countdown

My eyes opened to the sight of a ceiling that I did not recognize, it was stone grey, and the texture of the stone appeared to be quite ancient. I proceeded to look around with both of my eyes so that I could figure out where the heck I am currently, and to my surprise I noticed very old-looking tools near the corner of the room that I was in. However, the tools were not ordinary tools that you would use to fix a broken sink in your home with. No, they were the exact opposite instead of having tools that would help fix something that was broken the tools in this mystery room were meant for destroying. They were tools meant for torture and killing as well.

"W-Where the h-hell am I-I?! AHHHHH! Son of a bitch! That hurts like hell!" I said with a confused expression on my face that then turned into an expression that was full of pain and anger as I looked towards where the injury causing the insane amount of pain was located on my body. And then, I saw it, there was something missing near where my wrist was, my left hand wasn't there anymore.

That's right I lost my right hand in the fight that happened earlier on the highest floor of the abandoned and massive castle while protecting Aisa from those vampires. No, that's wrong, calling what took place earlier a 'fight' would be an understatement. I don't want to admit it, but even if Aisa didn't zone out during that encounter, we both would have surely lost everything. I had no clue how strong that 'Vampire Emperor' guy was, but his servants, I think he called those girls his Spice Girls. The Spice Girls were not just powerful, they were extremely dangerous, I could tell that those girls were far more deadly than the Vampire Kings that I and Aisa fought.

Hell, the Vampire Kings were not even worth comparing to the Spice Girls, those girls, no, those monsters were on a completely different level than anything I and Aisa have ever fought against up to this point in time. I'm sure that if I didn't use that bomb to make a hole in the stone wall during that pathetic excuse of a fight so that I and Aisa could escape from, we both would have been killed by those monsters without a doubt. We were both completely outclassed.

"Wait, where is Aisa?! Oh, there she is, thank goodness." I said with a weak smile on my face as I then looked towards a certain girl with long, straight black hair that was unconscious and resting with some red bandana in her hands a few meters away from me. I might have lost my left hand, but thankfully Aisa appears to be relatively fine, that's good. At the very least my best friend made it out of that encounter without having to suffer a devastating injury like I did because I managed to save her just in the nick of time, that's something I can be proud of right now. But, I can't stop, not yet.

"I have to get up. I have to warn some people in Academy City about those Spice Girls. No, those monsters, I have to find someone who might have a chance against them. The only person I know personally, that might have a shot at defeating those monsters is, ugh, that annoying girl. Yeah, if there is anyone that can actually fight against the Spice Girls, perhaps even manage to defeat and kill them in a battle, it would have to be Misaka Mikoto.

Misaka Mikoto is that girl I had to fight against on that mission for ITEM a few months ago, she is also the same girl that almost managed to perform a one-shot kill on the Vampire King Weezer, and finally, Misaka is the third-ranked Level 5 Esper in all of Academy City. Basically, Misaka Mikoto is a girl I, or anyone for that matter would not want to fight against. If I can somehow convince Misaka to fight against them, she actually has a decent chance at winning against those monsters.

But, there's one problem, Misaka would have to fight against not just one Spice Girl, but three Spice Girls. Even Misaka Mikoto would have a really rough time going up against three people, let alone three highly dangerous vampire killing machines. Shit! Who else can actually fight against those monsters?! Oh, wait, am I dumb or something? There is actually another Level 5 Esper who I know quite well, she is also my boss, and she ranks only one spot lower when compared to Misaka Mikoto. The leader of the mercenary group ITEM, the leader who is my boss is also the fourth-ranked Level 5 Esper in all of Academy City, Mugino Shizuri.

"That's right! I should definitely, probably, maybe, hopefully, be able to convince Mugino to fight those monsters! But, wait, ugh, even if I could convince both Misaka and Mugino to fight the Spice Girls, there are still three of them!" I said with an optimistic expression on my face that soon after grew very pessimistic as I remembered that the Spice Girls are not a duo, they are a trio of vampire monsters. That means that I need to find at least one other person to help fight those monsters alongside Misaka and Mugino, but who else will help fight against vampires?

No, that's the wrong question the question shouldn't be how many other people will fight against the Spice Girls if I asked them to. Instead, the question is how many other people stand a chance at defeating, quite possibly even killing those vampire monsters? Well, that narrows the list of people down and makes things easier. The only other people who are capable of fighting alongside the third-ranked and fourth-ranked Level 5 Espers, Misaka Mikoto, and Mugino Shizuri respectively would have to be the other Level 5 Espers in Academy City.

There are a grand total of just seven Level 5 Espers in Academy City, and since I'm going by the assumption that both Misaka and Mugino will actually agree to fight against the Spice Girls, that only leaves five other Level 5 Espers to choose from. But, I only have to find one other person that has the highest chance of agreeing with me and will actually be able to fight alongside both Misaka and Mugino and defeat those vampire monsters with them. Yeah! That doesn't sound too difficult! So, disregarding both Misaka and Mugino of course, what are my options?

Well, first, let's see who are my options are from the get-go. Disregarding Misaka Mikoto and Mugino Shizuri, the other Level 5 Espers that exist in Academy City are as follows, the first ranked Level 5 Esper, Accelerator, the second-ranked Level 5 Esper, Kakine Teitoku, the fifth-ranked Level 5 Esper, Shokuhou Misaki, the sixth-ranked Level 5 Esper, Aihana Etsu, and the seventh and final ranked Level 5 Esper, Sogiita Gunha.

And now, let's see who will actually agree to help and fight against the vampire monsters known as the Spice Girls! First things first, the second-ranked Level 5 Esper, Kakine Teitoku is not an option, because he is the leader of the rival mercenary group of ITEM, known as SCHOOL. Plus, Mugino is more likely to try and kill that 'Dark Matter' guy before she actually decides to fight against those vampire-killing machines. Shokuhou Misaki is also out of the question, since her Esper ability, Mental Out, isn't exactly going to be that useful in an actual fight against vampire monsters that can absolutely blitz almost everyone in literal nanoseconds.

And then there is the sixth-ranked Level 5 Esper, Aihana Etsu, literally, no one has actually seen his or her's face nor knows if he or she actually exists, so 'it' is completely out of the question. This leaves me with two possible candidates who may or may not be willing to help and fight against the Spice Girls. The seventh-ranked Level 5 Esper, Sogiita Gunha, and the first ranked Level 5 Esper, Accelerator. While I heard rumors that Sogiita Gunha is extremely powerful, his Esper ability is undefined, so he may or may not be unreliable in a fight against vampire-killing machines. And this leaves us with Accelerator, he has a proven track record of defeating anyone that crosses his path and is the most powerful Esper in all of Academy City to boot.

I guess that means I somehow have to find and manage to convince Accelerator of all people to help in the fight against the Spice Girls. Even though, Accelerator might actually decide to kill me instead of hearing me out or let alone agreeing to help stop those vampire monsters from turning Academy City into a massive graveyard of corpses. Well, it can't be helped, if it means that Aisa and the rest of Academy City will be saved in the process, then that makes my answer is obvious. My only choice is to face my fears and approach the most dangerous Esper to ever exist in Academy City and hope that I somehow survive that ordeal and live another day.

"I have only one question. Just one single question. How the hell do I get out of this place?!" I said in a normal voice that then turned into a very loud scream as I noticed that I and Aisa are both completely trapped in the room that we are both currently in. I don't remember the events of what took place after I and Aisa managed to escape that 'Vampire Emperor' guy and the Spice Girls all too well. It's all actually quite hazy, but if I were to guess, I and Aisa basically skydived off of the highest room in the massive and ancient castle. After that, I must have somehow managed to use a bomb to explode the ground and break our fall through the skin of my teeth. And then that explosion must have landed the both of us in what used to be the basement of this castle.

I mean, I'm glad, I'm really happy that Aisa's ok and I'm somehow still alive after narrowly surviving an attack from one of the Spice Girls. However, my and Aisa I's survival came at a cost, which is that we are basically trapped within the lowest floor of this castle, the basement and that we both don't have much of a chance at escaping any time soon. The thing is I don't have any of my building busting bombs on me right now because I used my last one to destroy that stone wall on the highest room of the castle earlier. And the only other bombs that I have left on me are just a few of my handy bombs that allow me to fly I mean propel myself through the air.

Since I have no way of actually managing to break out of this ruined basement room the only other person who might be able to escape is Aisa. However, Aisa is still completely unconscious, and she also looks like she won't be able to wake up anytime soon. Aisa's heart is still beating and I could feel breathing, albeit faint coming from her mouth. That's good, but after trying to wake Aisa up for the past fifteen minutes with no luck whatsoever, which involved me flicking her forehead, slapping her cheeks, and shining the flashlight on my phone directly on her face, the chances of Aisa being able to help me escape this destroyed basement room is slim to none.

"Well, it is what it is I guess if there is literally no way for me to escape right now, then all I have to do is make something that will help me and Aisa escape this place! Ugh! Jeez, this is going to be a long night." I said with a determined expression on my face that then turned into an expression that resembled one of utter defeat as I realized that I'm going to have to make the components of a bomb from scratch with no materials whatsoever. And that the bomb must have enough explosive power to destroy the unknown amounts of crushed parts of stone walls that are blocking me and Aisa's escape from this abandoned and massive castle that we are both trapped inside of currently. I couldn't help but groan that I'm going to have a pull an all-nighter.

"Ugh, whatever, complaining about my current predicament won't get me out of it, so I'm better off if I just start building that bomb already. It's time for me to get to work! You can do it, Frenda Seivelun!" I said to myself while I slapped my cheeks with a smile on my face as I hyped myself up in order for me to do something productive that will help me and Aisa get out of this mess, instead of just moping around in defeat like some crybaby loser. And then I grabbed some nearby cloth that was conveniently in this room as I used it to bandage my amputated hand.

The next thing that happened was that I thought to myself about the necessary components that I need to build a bomb that will have enough explosive power to destroy those crushed stone walls that blocking me and Aisa's escape route. After I remembering all of the components in my head, I then proceeded to walk around the ruined basement room in an effort to search and find those materials. I wasn't able to find all of the components that I needed but since I still had some mini bombs leftover I could just disassemble them for the other parts I desired to obtain. So, I then started to disassemble one of my mini bombs but then, the next thing I knew, I closed my eyes for a single minute, only to drift off into a slumber that I wouldn't be waking up from anytime soon, all the while a snap of a certain person's fingers echoed throughout my mind.

My eyes opened to the sight of a ceiling that I did not recognize, it was stone grey, and the texture of the stone appeared to be quite ancient. I proceeded to look around with both of my eyes so that I could figure out where the heck I am currently, and to my surprise I noticed very old-looking tools near the corner of the room that I was in. However, the tools were not ordinary tools that you would use to fix a broken sink in your home with. No, they were the exact opposite instead of having tools that would help fix something that was broken the tools in this mystery room were meant for destroying. They were tools meant for torture and killing as well.

"W-Where the h-hell am I-I?! AHHHHH! Son of a bitch! That hurts like hell!" I said with a confused expression on my face that then turned into an expression that was full of pain and anger as I looked towards where the injury causing the insane amount of pain was located on my body. And then, I saw it, there was something missing near where my wrist was, my left hand wasn't there anymore. Huh? Why does this all feel so familiar?

"Wait, hold on just a minute! Where did that piece of cloth go? I remember putting a piece of cloth on my amputated arm! It couldn't have just vanished into thin air! That wouldn't make any sense at all! So where the heck happened to that piece of cloth?!" I said with a bewildered expression on my face that then turned into a very pissed-off expression as I couldn't understand where the piece of cloth that I tied to the remnants of my left arm went.

Did that piece of cloth just fall off somewhere? No, that's not possible I remember tying the cloth to my amputated left arm in order so that the cloth wouldn't fall off. Could I have just been imagining things? That would explain why I was resting in the exact spot that I woke up from, but that doesn't make sense either! I remember thinking and walking around in this ruined basement building so vividly! Dreams can sometimes seem like reality but dreams aren't that real! So if that wasn't all just my imagination, then what the hell is going on right now?

Dam it! You have to stop overthinking what is real and what is fake! Think, Frenda Seivelun! Think of a way that would ensure that this world isn't a fake world like the one that self-proclaimed false Vampire Emperor guy showed to you! But, ugh! I don't know! I don't know what to do that would make the answer obvious and clear to me! What would Aisa do in this situation?! Wait, now that I think about it, how did Aisa escape the fake world that she was put in? A normal person cannot just go to another world with a snap of her fingers, if that's the case, then the answer is a lot simpler than I thought it would be. Aisa killed herself.

The reason that Aisa was able to escape the fake world that she was put in by that self-proclaimed false Vampire Emperor guy was that she killed herself. That is the only logical explanation that I can think of right now. And if I were to think about it that way that would also explain why I was freed from the fake world that I was put in as well by that false Vampire Emperor guy. I was killed too. In that fake world I was killed, so that must be why I was able to escape the fake world and return to reality. I see, then all I have to do is the same thing that Aisa did when she was in the fake world. I understand, then all I have to do is to die-

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey, wait a minute! If I do what Aisa did if I kill myself, then how can I be sure if everything will work out?! No, I can't be sure, I have no idea what the heck is happening right now, so I can't do anything that drastic. There has to be a far less painful way to discover the truth of what is going on currently compared to just taking my life! But, what should I do then? How do I figure out what the hell is going on right now?! Oh, I see. I got it. The answer was so much more simple than my original idea was in comparison. I know what I have to do.

I looked all around the ruined basement room with both of my eyes as I searched for something, and after a few seconds of looking around the room, I found it. I proceeded to move towards the object that I was searching for, a piece of glass, that must have come from a vase or something that was launched into the basement along with me and Aisa. I then grabbed the piece of glass that was just sitting on the stone, hard ground with the only arm that I had left. And then what happened next, was that I cut my only good right hand with the piece of glass in my hand.

"There. That should solve everything. The next time I wake up, I should have a wound that will be there on my hand, the wound that will prove whether I'm in a fake or real world." I said with resolve in my voice and a determined expression on my face as I figured out exactly what I had to do that would give me some clues to what sort of predicament I'm currently in right now.

"But, eh, what should I do now? Ah, jeez! I have to take my mind off this annoying issue of what is the difference between something that is real and fake! So, all I have to do now is start building that bomb I said I was going to make so that both I and Aisa could escape this dark and depressing place!" I said with an irritated expression on my face while I slapped my cheeks a couple of times and turned my frown upside down as I started moving around the ruined basement room with a bawled-up fist while stomping around like an idiot. I found and grabbed the same piece of cloth and tied it back onto my amputated arm and I also tore a piece of the cloth in order to cover my right hand that was dripping some of my blood onto the ground.

And then, I re-gathered the same materials that I found earlier at a much quicker pace since I knew where all the components that I needed were in this ruined basement room. I then proceeded to disassemble the mini bomb again, and this time I was able to obtain the necessary component that I needed from it. Finally! I'm finally making some progress! Now, time to start building the real thing! But then, I began to feel extremely tired again, in response I slapped my cheeks hard to no avail. I was drifting off into an endless slumber again, there was nothing I could do about it as I was my eyes were slammed shut by some unknown force all the while a snap of a certain person's fingers echoed throughout my mind.

My eyes opened to the sight of a ceiling that I did not recognize, it was stone grey, and the texture of the stone appeared to be quite ancient. I proceeded to look around with both of my eyes so that I could figure out where the heck I am currently, and to my surprise I noticed very old-looking tools near the corner of the room that I was in. However, the tools were not ordinary tools that you would use to fix a broken sink in your home with. No, they were the exact opposite instead of having tools that would help fix something that was broken the tools in this mystery room were meant for destroying. They were tools meant for torture and killing as well.

"W-Where the h-hell am I-I?! AHHHHH! Son of a bitch! That hurts like hell!" I said with a confused expression on my face that then turned into an expression that was full of pain and anger as I looked towards where the injury causing the insane amount of pain was located on my body. And then, I saw it, there was something missing near where my wrist was, my left hand wasn't there anymore. It repeated again. Everything restarted from zero and repeated again.

"No! No! No! NO! It repeated again! Everything repeated again like it was all just a dream! And both of the pieces of cloth that I tied to my amputated arm and right hand are both missing and nowhere to be found!" I yelled with a half bewildered and half pissed-off expression on my face as I didn't even know if I should be confused or angry in this mind-boggling situation. However, I only had one question on my mind, what the hell is going on right now?

And then, as if someone or something was waiting for me to get this bewildered and pissed off at whatever is unfolding before me currently, an explosion erupted throughout the ruined basement room that both me and Aisa were still trapped inside of, or well, until now.

BOOM! The crushed stone walls that were blocking me and Aisa's escape route to freedom were completely annihilated by a huge earth-shattering explosion that was so insanely loud that for a second I thought my ears were going to be permanently damaged because of the earsplitting sound. As I was about to yell out some very inappropriate words for a young girl my age to say, I noticed a certain person that looked very familiar walking towards both me and Aisa from the now accessible escape route.

"I see. So, this is the place where you two young girls were located all this time. I'm ashamed of myself that it took this long, but I finally found you, Himegami Aisa." A man said with straight, dark, silver hair that was blocking his face as he moved his hair out of the way which then revealed a green American military uniform that was decorated with many different medals all over it. Wait, I know this man- no, I know who this vampire is because I met him before!

"Y-You are! You are that vampire guy Slipnoose! Wait, in hindsight, that doesn't sound right. Was it Snootknot? Was it Slipcross? Or was it Sloopnoose? Ugh! Which one was it?!" I said with a surprised expression on my face that then turned into an expression that was brimming with confusion as I honestly couldn't remember what that vampire guy's name was.

"The first one was wrong. The second one was wrong. The third one was wrong. And the final one wasn't even close. Was that on purpose?! Or are you really that stupid you annoying brat?!" The vampire guy said with an emotionless expression on his face that then became a pissed-off expression as he then yelled while pointing one of his fingers towards me in retaliation against my incorrect guesses of what I thought his name actually was.

"Eh, what?! I honestly thought I was pretty close with Sloopnoose, but that was wrong too?! Dam it! Alright, you better tell me your name again right now before I stick a bomb up your butt for making me so dam confused!" I said with a pissed-off expression on my face that matched that vampire guy's expression while I pointed one of my fingers towards him in retaliation because he had such an easily forgettable name that I with a very high IQ forgot it.

"Idiot! No, that word is far too kind to be an accurate description of you! Dumbass! Are you seriously dumber than a sack of rocks or something?! My name is Slipknot! Not vampire guy! I'm the Vampire King Slipknot! So how dare you treat me with such a lack of respect you dumbass annoying brat!" The vampire guy revealed his name to me saying that he was actually the Vampire King Slipknot with an extremely pissed-off expression on his face while he lifted his right clenched fist towards me in retaliation against my apparent 'lack of respect for him.

"What the hell did you just say about me?! Did you really call ME a dumbass?! Do you even know what my IQ is, you vampire jackass?! Well, I'll tell you! My IQ is 160! That means that I'm at least as smart as that English Physicist Stephen Hawking! So don't you DARE call ME a dumbass when I doubt you have even half of the amount of smartness that I possess!" I said with an even more pissed-off expression on my face when compared to the Vampire King Slipknot as I pointed the middle finger on my right hand towards him in response to his lack of respect that he has shown me ever since I met that obnoxious vampire guy!

"Why you?! You know what, this is pointless. There is no point whatsoever in arguing with each other. Just hand over Himegami Aisa to me and all of this can end." The Vampire King Slipknot said as he regained his emotionless tone from earlier as he said what he wanted in a very blunt fashion. What Slipknot wanted was my best friend, Himegami Aisa, and there was no way I was going to let him take Aisa over my dead body!

"Are you joking?! Do you really think I'm just going to hand over my best friend to the same vampire who tried to kill her a few hours ago?! Not a chance! You'll have to kill me first before you can obtain your revenge against Aisa! Hey, wait a minute! Aren't you supposed to be dead or something?! I saw Aisa slice your body in half so how the heck are you even still alive?!" I said with a scowl on my face and hostility in my voice as I made a fighting stance in front of Aisa's unconscious body.

"Tch. I'll answer all of your questions in numerical order. First of all, no I'm not joking. Second of all, yes, you will hand Himegami Aisa over to me. Third of all, are you actually being serious? Do you really think that my goal is revenge against that girl? If you think that is the truth then you are even dumber than I thought you were. I do harbor a slight grudge for Himegami Aisa because she cut my body in half and harmed my lord. So, it is only logical that I resent her a little bit for that. However, my grudge is incomparable to my new goal. My new goal is to assassinate that guy who stole the authority of my lord! I want to kill the Vampire Emperor Franz Ferdinand! And I'm still alive because Aisa didn't finish me off, if she was trying to kill me then she really should have gone for my head." The Vampire King Slipknot said as he revealed his true goal which was not to kill Aisa but to instead kill the quote on quote true Vampire King Franz Ferdinand. Wait, what?

"Eh? Huh? Come again? Sorry, I don't think I heard that quite clearly. You said your goal was to kill that Vampire Emperor guy I mean the one that isn't your lord, but, I'm wrong, aren't I?" I said with a confused expression on my face as my brain felt like it short-circuited and exploded in response to whatever the Vampire King Slipknot said to me.

"No, you are right. My goal is to kill the Vampire Emperor Franz Ferdinand just like you said it was. You do realize that my lord was murdered by that monster, do you not? Yes, I still bear a slight grudge over Himegami Aisa but that doesn't even come close to the sheer amount of rage that I feel for my lord's killer. So, my true goal is to have Himegami Aisa help me assassinate the Vampire Emperor Franz Ferdinand and save the world." The Vampire King Slipknot said with an emotionless expression on his face while he revealed something that I didn't know about.

"What? What the heck did you just say? I don't understand? You said your goal is to ally yourself with Aisa in an effort to kill that Vampire Emperor guy that I can understand at least a little bit. What I don't understand is what the world has to do with your lord's killer? How the hell will defeating that guy ends up saving the world in the process?" I said with a bewildered expression on my face as I couldn't help but be completely confused because I couldn't understand anything that the Vampire King Slipknot was saying to me, not in the slightest.

"What? Don't you understand anything? Even an idiot like you should be able to tell something is not right with the world right now. Even if you can't see what is happening out there, you have experienced it haven't you? This night and everything corresponding to it are repeating. This night has already repeated twice and it will happen again and again unless the Vampire Emperor Franz Ferdinand is killed." The Vampire King Slipknot said with his signature emotionless expression on his face as he revealed my theory about what was going on earlier was in fact the truth.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey, just stop talking for a second! You are right. I thought that everything was repeating ever since the 'second night' but my theory was confirmed by the time the 'third night' came around. And what you just told me added extra proof that made my theory not an idea anymore and it became a fact, I can understand that much. But, what I still can't understand is what the heck this all has to do with the world?! Tell me, Slipknot! How the hell does this night repeating, again and again, have to do with the world?! How can that possibly be a threat to the world itself?" I said with that same bewildered expression on my face from earlier that then became a face that brimmed with determination as I demanded the truth from the last remaining Vampire King.

"I understand. Bring Himegami Aisa with you and come with me right now. It would be useless to explain to you the current predicament that the world is currently suffering against. Because it would be far easier and less time-consuming as well to just show you what is happening out there. All of your answers will be revealed as soon as we all go outside." The Vampire King Slipknot said as he started walking towards the cleared escape route that led back into civilization from this ruined basement room.

"Are you kidding me? I don't understand why you can't explain things to me right now! Just tell me what the heck is going on already! Hey! Hey, where are you going? Can you just hold on for a minute? Ah, jeez! You are such an obnoxious guy!" I said with a pissed-off expression on my face while I went towards Aisa to pick her up in an effort to not leave Aisa behind and to also not be left behind by the Vampire King Slipknot who is still walking away from me!

"Ugh! Aisa, just what the heck have you been eating to make you this heavy?! Can't you make it any easier for me if you wake up already! And just what the hell is going on out there that is making it so hard for you to simply explain things to me-huh? Oh my god." I said with the pissed-off expression on my face that I had from earlier that then instantly turned into an expression that was full of unease and despair as I immediately knew exactly what was going on outside and throughout all of Academy City without needing to be told anything. It was simply obvious. It was so obvious that anyone would have known what was going on by just catching a glimpse of what was happening outside. And what was happening outside was that city was being-

Meanwhile in a certain hospital

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey, look at me! Doesn't my new outfit look beautiful on me?! It does right?! Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right?" A certain chestnut-haired little girl said with an ahoge sticking out from her hair while wearing a dark blue shirt with a white jacket that was far too big for her to be worn by her.

"Yes. Yes. Yes. That outfit suits you very well. Now can you please stop annoying me with your incessant questions for a little while?" A skinny teen said with has messy white hair and red eyes in a very disinterested tone of voice. He was wearing a white t-shirt with grey stripes on it as well as blue jeans and a black collar on his neck that had headphones with it that were in his ears. The man also had very pale skin that made him resemble the stereotypical edge lord student that you would see walking around in a high school. But, this man wasn't a normal person. This man was the first ranked Level 5 Esper as well as the strongest Esper in all of Academy City and quite possibly the world too. This white-haired man's name was none other than Accelerator.

"Eh? Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey, you aren't even looking at me, so you lied! Why can't you ever pay attention to me, you meanie?!" The chestnut-haired girl said while pouting and pointing one of her fingers as well as the one strand of hair sticking out from her head that was known as an ahoge that was also pointing towards the white-haired teen named Accelerator. This girl's name was Last Order.

"What do you mean? I pay attention to you all the time. You just aren't even looking at me when I'm looking at you. So you are one to talk, Last Order." Accelerator said with a disinterested expression on his face as he got back to reading a popular light novel known throughout all of Academy City as Heavy Object.

"Huh? Are you kidding me?! You are so mean, meanie! Meanie! Meanie! Meanie! Meanie! Meanie-eh? Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey, meanie what is that coming towards us?" Last Order said with an angry look on her face that was way too funny to actually take seriously while she started to light hit Accelerator on his head, but then her expression turned into one of bewilderment as she pointed one of her fingers towards a nearby window.

"Tsk. Why can't you give me just five minutes of peace and quiet? Ugh, just what it is this time, brat-holy shit! Watch out Last Order!" Accelerator said with his signature disinterested tone of voice that then became one that brimmed with shock and worry as he immediately grabbed the little girl named Last Order into his arms and dodged the incoming attack that was coming towards them both. The attack was an utterly massive fist that landed a hit against the nearby window of the hospital room that Accelerator and Last Order were in currently.

CRASH! The nearby window was completely shattered as many multiple shards of glass aimed for both Accelerator and Last Order head-on.

But then, Accelerator, while using his Esper ability, Vector Transformation, used multiple of his vectors to block all of the incoming glass shards that were aimed for both him and Last Order and annihilated them all in an instant. Accelerator proceeded to propel himself along with Last Order who was currently in his arms bridal style out of the hospital room that they were in just a few moments ago and into the hallway of a certain hospital.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey, what are those people? They don't look normal, meanie?!" Last Order said with a shocked expression on her face and a voice that was full of surprise as she pointed towards multiple people that were in the hospital along with them both. However, these weren't 'normal people' anymore. These people, perhaps everyone that was currently in this hospital other than Accelerator and Last Order were now creatures of the night known throughout not just Academy City, but the entire world as vampires.

Right after Last Order pointed out the group of vampires that were in her and Accelerator's path, the vampires immediately started to rush directly towards them both, with their sharp, vampire teeth sticking out from all of their mouths. Accelerator then proceeded to dispatch and obliterate all of the vampires that were in his way without a second thought. The vampires were absolutely erased to the point that there wasn't even any blood or ashes for that matter to tell that they once existed. And then, once Accelerator made sure that all of the vampires around him and Last order were gone he flew throughout a certain hospital with the speed that was faster than sound until he found what he was searching for, a window, and he completely destroyed it.

There weren't any glass shards left to speak of as Accelerator while still carrying Last Order in his arms bridal style flew out of a certain hospital together and into the dark, the night sky in order to figure out just what the hell is happening outside and who's giant fist utterly annihilated the window from the hospital room that Accelerator and Last Order were in previously.

"Wow! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey, look at that guy! That guy is huge! Huge! Huge! Huge! That guy is so huge! Hey, are you even listening to me, meanie?!" Last Order said with excitement in her voice that then turned into a voice that was annoyed as Accelerator was not responding to her right now.

Why didn't Accelerator respond to Last Order? The answer is quite simple, he couldn't. Accelerator was utterly speechless along with his eyes bulging out of his head at the absolute horror that he was looking at with his very own eyes. The person he was looking towards, no, that's wrong. The monster that Accelerator was looking at was absolutely massive! The monster's height was an utterly insane sixty meters, which was far bigger than any normal human in this entire world. But, that was to be expected, because this monster wasn't human. This monster was also a creature of the night known as a vampire that was completely destroying anything and everything in his path along with several hundred, no, several thousands of vampires that were accompanying the monster and killing any and every human in sight with no remorse whatsoever. Academy City is being obliterated as the night of nights continues!

Hello everyone! Ren Here! So for this chapter, I wanted to showcase Frenda's point of view during these events because Aisa is currently in a comatose state over the last chapter. I also wanted to showcase the Vampire Emperor Franz Ferdinand's ability God's World has the ability to reverse time and can create time loops, though that is not all there is to God's World, but I'm not going to spoil the twist with that. Along with that, I wanted to bring back the Vampire King Slipknot as an ally since I wanted to show that Slipknot isn't a completely evil character and that even he thinks that Franz Ferdinand's world destroying plan is horrible, I also thought that it was a pretty good twist though that might be my bias opinions talking. And finally, I wanted to properly introduce Accelerator because he is very important to the A Certain Series and he is also one of my favorite characters in it to boot. And now an apocalypse is beginning as Franz Ferdinand and his vampire army invade Academy City! The final act of this story will continue with the next chapter, with the same usual time of some time during Fridays at night. Get excited! Ren Out!
