Level 6s:

"China has taken over the South China Sea by force, just to build research islands." Said Accelerator. The two are not as chill as before, they've got work to do. Using a modified truck as a temporary base like ITEM, they started tapping into the plans. "Yo John, where the hell are you? Don't just leave."

"Gettin' breakfast!" A voice shouted from outside. The machine beeped as the door unlocked. Natural light rushed in to replace the lighting inside. John looked much slimmer than before, he looked, unhealthy. His skin was deathly pale, everyday he started looking more and more like Accelerator.

"ITEM is helping us, but that's not enough. They are able to hack in, but the information obtained would always be a little out of date. The researchers must be much more advanced than the information just sent to us indicates." Said John.

"So what can we do? Attack the research facilities directly? You've done it with Misaka. You know how well it went. We will wear ourselves out first before dealing out sufficient damage."

"Trust me, we can get people on our side. More people than you think we can." Stated John. "I mean you joined me. That night when Misaka and her guys confronted you, I didn't know my purpose when I went with them. You actually convinced me. After you've shown me what the Level Upper can do."

"That's why now we need to know what to do." Answered Accelerator.

"Hey, how about breakfast? Take a break, we've stayed up all night. Meanwhile, we can talk about recruiting people." The two walked out the vehicle

Antiskill Next Morning:

"What the hell!?" An Antiskill member screamed. "I'm in deep shit right now!"

"What, what's up?"

"My gun! I swear I stored it here." He opened the back of the operating vehicle, and pointed at a metal cabinet, with one empty space. "I kept the keys to myself at all times! Even when I sleep."

"Alright, what is your issued serial number?" Asked his squad mate.

"Okay, it's…"

Minutes later.

"It's been stolen!? Bullshit! That has never happened in Antiskill history! Managing your own firearm is one of the key requirements of being in any police force in this world!" Scolded the leader of the squad. He then turned to examine the firearms cabinet. "What the hell… hmmf! Smartass." The leader read a tiny yellow note attached to the cabinet.

"Thanks for the assault rifle :)"

"Earlier this morning, four Antiskill members has reported their arsenal and countless rounds got stolen. No explosives, hand grenades, or bullet proof vests were touched. Please report if you have any information or sightings of their movement. Antiskill is working hard to solve this case." The computer model of the weapons and their corresponding descriptions were displayed:

-1 m82a1 anti-material/sniper rifle, 50. Cal Raufoss Mk 211 round, 12.7 x 99 mm NATO HEIAP. Muzzle brake, 8x rifle scope.

-4 Hecklor&Koch 417 A2 20 in. assault rifle, 7.65 x 51mm NATO.

"-4 Glock 17L semi automatic pistol. 9 x 19.9 mm Parabellum.

"The unidentified suspect also left a note taunting the Antiskill members. Antiskill officials sees this as a terrorist plot, the result of a security breach. A threat to the safety of the citizens of…"

Touma Kamijou and his friends saw this as they were walking to school.

"Jeez, no one can be that careless can they?" Signed Touma. "Antiskill is the elite force, and the only law enforcement/military here."

"Technically they are ground self defense forces, with only armored vehicles, no tanks and jets." Answered his friends. "They are all just volunteers. Higher corrupt members can infiltrate easily. And then nothing happens just because they are seen as I dunno, so important to society. Level 5 Espers does a better job at managing this place." His friend added.

"Weird things never stop happening, I've heard about a rumour, that scientists are trying to weaponize Railgun by making clones of her. You know, that bad tempered, tsundere, Miss…" His other friend asked.

"That's not true." Touma cut off. "Trust me, to clone someone there are so many factors that need to be under control when the clone infant is developing, in order to guarantee absolute congruence between the original and the clone. It's just impossible. They might not even look the same, not to mention behaving the same."

Misaka 10032 walked right past them, after hearing what Touma said she took out a picture of the "Original" and compared it. She was still in her same school uniform. Failing to recognize any difference between them, she looked confused.

Later in the day:

Misaka Mikoto was at school, having lunch. Three figures approached her, Heaven Canceller, Kiyama Harumi and Shinobu.

"Hey." She greeted them. They sat down in front of her, grabbing chairs nearby.

"We need you to help us. You might wanna come with us, to his hospital. We will tell you everything. Your friends are with us too. We need all of you. We've talked with your teachers." Said Shinobu. She looked usually cold, emotionless, or maybe every time she acted that way she was just thinking.

They got into Kiyama's familiar car, and drove to the hospital. It's a cold and rainy day here in this North Pacific coastal city. The car drove fast when the rain beat down on the windows, reminding her of that night when they confronted Accelerator, and John had a change in personality. It sent a shiver down her spine. She wasn't in that car anymore, she was walking outside, the streets and roads were empty. It was cold and soaking wet, the temperature dropped when it rained harder. A silhouette appeared right in front of her, then the next second she was surrounded by the silhouettes. She tried to say something but she couldn't talk, or move. Suddenly, flames erupted from the tallest buildings, eating down and destroying the city. She was horrified. It was pure hell, burning debris crashed down, the heat nearly made her faint. Then there was this echoing message:

"If you join us, we can prevent all this."

"We are here." Said Heaven Canceller, repelling her hallucination. They walked in the usual entrance and up the elevator, and into Kiyama's dark, storage room office. Her judgement friends was there too, Kuroko, Uiharu, Saten, and Konori. Along with Touma Kamijou. "We chose you guys first because you've had more encounters and are familiar with all this. Do you know or remember anything about John and Accelerator?"

"Yes. They worked together now, they are thugs. They think they are justified but they are not. Well, at least it's out of good cause. I suppose we are all familiar with

Level Six Shift?" Said Touma.

"I'm afraid it's much less simple than that." Shinobu chimed in. "I agree that they are reckless, but didn't John have a brain that is about to destabilize? Lower Level Espers struggle, high Level Espers struggle much more. The option, opportunity John offered Accelerator was too hard to turn down."

"They could be friends, with the similar brain data they had, they were fighting weren't they? They were using their powers, making involuntary exchange of information possible." Stated Heaven a Canceller.

"Last time I've seen him, John was waging a war against himself. He didn't know what to do. I tried to understand." Admitted Misaka,

"Lots of Espers are at war with their own human side, Esper powers are so exotic, that's why most Espers are discontent. Same for Accelerator, he was so strong he thought he would shape the world. Godlike. Because since he was a child he was subject to researchers, assassins. Human nature never allows people to give up trying to study him. Jon also hates people trying to touch him, his brain isn't stable. That's why they are so similar." Studied Kiyama.

"Anyways, we think that they are still active in their hideout. They are instructing Dark Side groups because they are unofficial. They operate in the dark. The two gain influence and power, and are not directly involved. We need to do the same thing. We are too official, we get too much attention from our rival researchers, the Level Six Shift director and Aritomi Haruki, even the Board. That's why we need you to help us, Misaka, Touma, and Judgement, a student based small time organization. Sorry." Said Heaven Canceller.

"No it's fine, I understand. I will try." Said Misaka.

"You know why we can't use Antiskill? They are made up of volunteers, anybody with clear background. They can have corrupt members of any faction. Hell no. But you, you can recruit anybody you trust… because I only trust you." Said Shinobu, talking to all of them but only exchanging looks with Misaka.

"Anyone?"
