Chapter 5 - To the battlefield

In a certain big bridge of the Academic City, a young girl rested her body on the rail. She seemed to be looking at the sea, but she wasn't anywhere. The brunette had a light brown no sleeves sweater and a gray short skirt. Her name was Misaka Mikoto. Mikoto had passed the worst time in her live.

'I have clones. They are called the Sisters.'

She discovered that she had been cloned with her DNA, which the girl gave when she was really young. Nevertheless, it wasn't the worst. The clones were participating in an experiment. An experiment that would let them be killed merciless by a monster. A monster called Accelerator, the strongest Level 5.

'I can't defeat that monster'

It was impossible to survive a fight with Accelerator. The girl thought that she could stop the experiment if she destroy the facilities responsible of it, but in the end that didn't work. She tried another option, but it was the same again. In the end, there was only one way left to stop the experiments. Mikoto would fight Accelerator. She couldn't win, but if the fight could interfere with the predictions of the scientists. The scientists who predicted with the Tree Diagram the result of the experiment. The never seen before Level 6.

'I have to fight him'

With that, the scientist would think that the experiment had fail because of the encounter between Accelerator and the Railgun, the original. They would think that it was impossible for Accelerator to reach the Level 6 just following that process. Mikoto was going to die in the fight. She knew that, but she was willing to die for her clones. She was willing to die for the Sisters. Her sisters.

'I am going to die' Mikoto barely hold the tears. 'Somebody help me'

Suddenly, Mikoto heard a strange sound: the meow of cat. She turned around. She saw a cat walking to her and something surprised her. In front of her, bending on his knees because of running many streets without a break, was a spiky black haired boy. She knew exactly who that boy was.

"What are you doing?" asked Kamijou Touma with a serious expression before she could say something.

The girl didn't responded immediately because of the strangeness of the question. "What do you want? I do whatever I want. You think that you can tell me what to…"

"Stop" Touma cut her in a crude tone. Mikoto was left speechless. The boy showed her a big amount of papers.

Misaka 10032 arrived at the train switchyard. A very unpopular place were trains and containers were keep, also it served for the purpose of putting the coaches and locomotives in the correct railway. Setting over a container the sister found the boy she was looking for to begin the experiment.

"So it's 8:25… I take it you're the next doll to be targeted in the experiment?" the white haired boy with red eyes spitted at her with a sadistic smile. This boy's name was Accelerator, the strongest Level 5. The strongest esper of Academic City and of the world. A person; or monster, it was difficult to know, that could destroy the entire city if he really tried.

"Yes, Misaka is Serial Number 10032, responds Misaka" the expressionless girl answered.

"Don't you feel anything about this situation?" Accelerator asked Misaka Imouto without losing his sadistic smile.

"It is difficult to understand what you mean when you use vague terms such as 'anything', replies Misaka. The experiment begins in 3 minutes and 20 seconds. Are you prepared? Asks Misaka to make sure."

"Tch… I was hoping to kill some time, but no. There's just no having a conversation with any of you" Accelerator said changing his sitting position. "I can't understand why you would throw away your lives like that. To me, my own life is my top priority. That's why there's no limit to the amount of power I want and that's why I am willing to kill hundreds, thousands, and even more of your kind."

"There are parts that Misaka can't understand, replies Misaka. If you are already the strongest esper and there nobody who can defeat you, why are you looking for more power if you don't need anymore, ask Misaka."

"The strongest esper?" Accelerator stopped smiling. ""Strongest? Strongest!? Strongest!? That's true. If it wasn't I wouldn't have this rank, but…" The esper stopped talking for a pair of seconds, recalling the deep causes of his involvement with the experiment. What he really wanted. Then he got rid of that thought and smiled again at Misaka Imouto. "What I want is absolute strength that makes the thought of taking me on sound like a fucking joke and doesn't even allow anyone to even think about fighting me".

Misaka Imouto didn't reply. She just stood there looking expressionless as always at the strongest esper until: "8:29 PM and 45 seconds, 46 seconds, 47 seconds…Experiment #10032 will begin shortly. Test Subject Accelerator, please wait at the designated spot, informs Misaka."

And with that words the experiment #10032 began.

Peter crossed the bridge and, as he was expecting, he saw Mikoto in the middle of it. When he was looking for Touma he saw in the distance a big lighting striking the bridge.

'It's definitely her' he had thought when he saw that.

Mikoto was sitting on the floor trembling hugging a black cat. Tears were flowing of her eyes uncontrollably. Peter run to her.

"Where's Kamijou Touma?" the teen asked the girl. He had the feeling that she had something to do with Touma disappearance. Besides, the cat she was holding was equal to the one Touma held in his arms, when Peter saw him.

The girl raised her head while she wipe her tears. "Who?"

"Spiky black hair. He wear my same uniform. He was there when we met yesterday. He stopped your lightning attack and prevent us from becoming fried chicken."

"Oh, you are his friend" Mikoto, who seemed that had forgotten the "incident", said in a low and paused tone. "What are you doing here?"

"I am looking for him" Peter replied. "Have you seen him?"

"…" Mikoto didn't answer at first. She just lowered her head again. "He…"

"You saw him, right?" Peter confirmed. "Where is him?"

"I can't..."

"What?"

"I can't tell you" Mikoto replied in a sad tone. She couldn't move. The image of the spiky haired boy who had just left heading to a death battle was still in her head.

"Please, biri-biri, why can't you tell me?" Peter asked kneeling in front of her to get her attention. Suddenly the teen discovered a few papers in the floor next to the girl. The papers were almost ripped with burn scratches. It was like they were stroke by a little lighting. Peter picked up the papers and read the content that was still readable.

"What's this?" Peter asked out loud after reading the contents. "20'000 clones of Misaka Mikoto? Sisters? Level 6 shift experiment? Strongest esper? Death battles?" He realized there that the girl that he thought was Mikoto's sister, was actually a clone.

"Now you also know about my sin" Mikoto said trembling hugging the black little cat strongly. "It's my fault all those girls were created for such horrible purpose."

Peter tried to remember the clone he met yesterday. 'She talked weird, that's true. Her face was almost robotic, that's true. But that doesn't mean she has to die to make other person stronger. That guy is planning to kill 20 thousand clones to become more powerful. I won't tolerate that.'

"He went to the train switchyard. To fight him" Mikoto said in despair.

Peter stood in silence. "Did he go to fight the strongest esper?"

The girl just nodded.

"Which is his power?"

"What?"

"I asked you which his power is"

"You aren't going to fight him. Are you?" Mikoto stood up. "Don't just smile like that! You don't know how powerful Accelerator is. He has already killed 10031 clones. His power is called Vector Change, he can control every kind of vector. No force can affect him!"

"Yeah, that sounds difficult, but…" Peter remembered what he promised Index and the other promise he did when he became Spider-Man. "Touma is in danger, I have to help. I promised to help him. Besides, your Sisters will always be in danger while this experiment exist. You mentioned the train switchyard, right?"

Peter turned back and began to walk away. Mikoto run after him and grabbed him by the shoulder. "You aren't going there! I won't let another person die for my sins. The only one who should face that monster and die by his hand is-is-is… me."

Thwip!

"Mmmmm!" Mikoto attempted to yell while she tried to remove that web-like thing of her mouth.

"I'm sorry, but I promised to never let anyone die!" Peter said with a mocking smile checking the web-shooters he took from his room after his talk with Index. "Nor the good nor the bads. It is heroic: To risk your life for the people you care, but I won't let you die. Now..."

Thwip! Thwip! Thwip! Thwip! Thwip! Thwip!

Mikoto had her both feet pasted to the iron floor of the bridge. They were covered with a strange substance similar to a spider web. She lost her balance and ended falling on her ass with a very scary frown. "Mmm mmm!"

'I'm Spider-Man. It is my job to risk my life and keep away the others from danger. Now this girl is a danger for herself, so it is better to left her here.'

Mikoto wanted to free of that weird webs and fry that moron teen, but what he just said left her thoughtful. What the moron was saying was similar to what the idiot said. Still, she won't let others solution her problems for her. The only thing she need was to free from that hard web.

"Again. I'm sorry. Don't hate me. Goodbye!" And Peter run off while he felt a burst of lightning behind him.

"I must hurry" Touma muttered while he ran through the streets of the Academic City.

After his talk with Mikoto he headed to the train switchyard at full speed ignoring the pain he was feeling. That was a product of a big quantity of volts and amperes that a certain scientific Railgun threw at him a few minutes ago. He felt all his body in pain, but equally he gritted his teeth, clenched his fist and kept running.

'The experiment has already started. If I don't hurry Misaka Imouto will…' Touma shook his head to get rid of any negative thoughts.

He ran as he had never ran in his life. However, that speed was nothing to the other teen who was after him.

"Hi" Peter said casually running besides Touma.

"Pe-Peter! What are you…? Wah!" Touma began to ask before he tripped over an empty can and lost his balance.

Luckily (something very uncommon for this teen), Peter grabbed his arm and helped him to regain balance.

"Thank you" Touma muttered. "Look I will love to talk right now, but I have something to right now. If you excuse me…"

"Doing what? Fighting the strongest esper of the city and saving 9968 Sisters?" Peter said looking into the spiky haired boy eyes.

"How do you…?"

"I found out about this experiment recently" Peter replied.

"So? What are you going to do? Are you planning to stop me?" Touma asked preparing to run off.

"No" Peter replied surprising Touma. "We will just do a replacement. I going to fight Accelerator and you are going home to make dinner for Index."

"What do you mean? Do you think I will just run off after I find a replacement…? Oi, how do you know Index?"

"Funny story" Peter began. "I went to your apartment, I knocked the door, and then a flying nun jumped to my head. Finally…"

"Never mind! Never mind!" Touma said shaking his hands in front of his face. "Look, I have to go. Every second I waste could be the last of Misaka Imouto. I won't let you stop me. I have to fight him. If a Level 0 defeats him, the strongest Level 5, the experiment will be over. Besides, I have the only ability that can defeat someone as him" Touma hesitated to tell Peter about his power. "My ability is called Imagine Breaker. I can negate every kind of special ability if it enter in contact with my right hand."

"Oh, so that's your power. Pretty impressive" Peter recalled how Touma had blocked the electric attack yesterday.

"Maybe, but it also comes with a lot of bad deals" Touma replied remembering the reason of his misfortune.

"Equally is impressive" Peter nodded. "Returning to the problem. You are the only one who can hit him, right? Right. And you also said that a Level 0 has to be the one who defeats Accelerator."

"If a Level 0, the weakest; defeats Accelerator, the strongest, the scientists in charge of the experiment will think that Accelerator will never be able to reach the all mighty Level 6" Touma declared.

"If that's the case…" Peter seemed to be meditating something before he reach to a conclusion: "We both are going to face him."

"You are going to die" Touma said trying to distance Peter from that dangerous fight.

"I'm not. As you have your Imagine Breaker thing, I have more skills besides my Level 2 ability. And, I said that we will both face him, but you are going to be the one who defeats him. I will just support you, but in the end you will give him the final blow."

"Support me? How?" Touma asked.

"Mostly distracting him, I guess. I am very fast, you know."

"Maybe, but you don't have any kind of defensive or offensive technic against that kind of enemy. Your ability is just to climb walls, for God sake!"

"I told you that I am more than a Sticky Touch user" Peter mentioned the ugly name that the scientists of Academic City put to his climbing skill. "I promised Index to help you. If I can't stop you of fighting Accelerator, the least I can do is help you in any possible way. That was another promise." The teen muttered the last line. When he became Spider-Man, after the death of his beloved uncle Ben, he promised to help the weak with his power.

Peter said that he couldn't stop Touma, but that was a lie. If Peter wanted to stop the spiky haired, he would just need to paste him to the wall using his spider web. However, if he did that, the Sister would die. Peter, despite being Spider-Man, couldn't match with an enemy like this so called Accelerator. Someone that no force can affect him. Maybe if Tony Stark, Hank Pym or Reed Richards were in Academic City, one of them could think of a strategy using amazing tech to defeat that monster. But, none of these geniuses were there to help him. The only one was Touma. Spider-Man needed the help of the Imagine Breaker to protect the week.

"Ahh! Al right, but I am going to be on the front line" Touma requested seriously.

Peter hesitated but in the end he accepted. "Before we go I should." The teen pointed his hands to his face and with his middle and ring finger of each hand, pressed a switch located on his palms. Suddenly, a weird looking substance was shot from a metallic bracelet located in his wrists. The substance stained Peter's face while it transformed into a web similar to the ones of the spiders. Peter was now covered with spider web-made mask that covered everything except for the eyes and mouth areas.

Touma's jaw dropped. "Why did you do that? What are those bracelets?"

"I think is better if I don't have too much recognition in this fight. Remember you must be the one who defeats Accelerator. About the second question, it would take a bit to explain and we are late."

"Oh, you are right. Ok. Now that we are settled, let's run!" Touma said turning around. "We must head to the train switchyard. We are trouble, even if we run with our top speed, it will take… Hey! What're you doing?"

Peter grabbed Touma by the waist and put his entire body over his shoulder like a sand bad. "I know the shortest route. Hold on!"

With those words Peter jumped in the air and with his right hand shot his spider web to the nearest building, while he hold Touma with his left arm over his shoulder. The teens reached a high altitude and fall down, but Peter shot another web to another building. Like Tarzan would have do in the jungle with the vines, they swung in the city with the spider webs and head to the train switchyard.

You may have realised that I put a lot of lines from the novels. I thought it would be nice to do that to be settled better in the time. However, I made a few changes in them. Mostly because I don't like to Copy Paste and wanted to put my still rokie style of writting.

I hope you enjoy the chapter. The next one will be the one I have been more looking foward of writting. The battle with Accelerator. I really don't know how much time it will take me to write it. It could take long because I want to make a very good first battle or it could take less because I am really excited of writing it.

Fav, Follow, and most important: Review. Sebaspe out!
