Touma and Index walked down the alley.

"I still don't get why we're, I mean, what did you see that would make us go down here"? Index asked.

"I told you, I didn't see anything, it's just… I have a strong feeling something is wrong".

'And the last time I followed that feeling, I ended up saving Misaka from committing suicide,' Touma thought.

They both walked a little time in silence. Suddenly they both stopped, and stared at the ground.

"What's happened here, Touma!? Why is the ground so destroyed!?" Index asked.

"I don't know. Maybe there was an argument between two groups," Touma said.

"Could they really do this?" Index asked.

"Maybe… if there were any espers in the groups," Touma asked.

"What are you two doing back here?" A voice suddenly asked. Both Index and Touma looked towards the voice. A girl suddenly appeared out of thin air.

"Wow, invisibility!?" Touma said.

"Not exactly, but my esper power isn't important right now," she said.

"Ok then, but why are you back here anyway?" Index asked.

"I should be asking you the same," the girl said.

"Well, actually I just had a weird feeling that something bad happened here… it looks like it wasn't that big of a deal," Touma said, as the put his hand on his head.

"What happened here anyway?" Index asked, as she looked at the mess.

"There was a fight," the girl answered.

'Seems I was right,' Touma thought.

"So, what is your name?" He asked.

"I'm Jenny," she answered.

"Don't you have a last name?" Touma asked. Jenny didn't answer.

"You still haven't told us what you are doing here," Index said.

"I was just meeting someone… turns out they couldn't make it, after all," Jenny said.

"Ok then, would you like to come back with us to the main street?" Touma asked. Jenny looked them both into the eyes.

"You know… it's pretty rude to ask me to go with you when you haven't even told me who you are," Jenny said, in her usual calm voice.

"Oh right, I'm… Kamijou Touma right?" Jenny said, interrupting him.

"You're a level 0, with the Imagine Breaker, that cancels out every supernatural ability," Jenny said.

"Wait, you know who I am?!" Touma said, in a confused voice.

"Of course, and you're Index. A girl with a perfect photographic memory, and the one who carries the 103.000 grimoires," Jenny said.

"If you already know who we are, then why did you ask us about it in the first place?" Index asked in an irritated voice.

"That's way too complicated for you to understand," Jenny said, still in a calm voice.

"Who do think you are, going around assaulting people like that!?" Index yelled.

"And who do you think you are, going around yelling and using up Touma's money? You also bite him every time he does something you don't like, that's pretty childish if you ask me," Jenny said.

"Hey, how do you even know that!?"

"Touma, I think this girl has been stalking us or something," Index said, as she looked up at the black haired boy, who tried to follow the two girls conversation.

"Are you listening!?" Index yelled.

"Yeah yeah, sorry," Touma said, still trying to catch on. Jenny suddenly turned around, and began to walk away.

"Hold on, where are you going!?" Index yelled.

"Well it seems you two have to stop fighting, and there isn't any reason for me to stay here, so I'm gonna go," Jenny said, as she began to walk again.

"Wait!" Touma yelled, but Jenny disappeared again, and left Index and Touma standing there.

"Man I don't like that girl… she's so mean," Index said.

'Yeah, but I get the feeling there's something more to that girl than meets the eye,' Touma thought.

'Even so, she only appears to be about 9 or 10 years old, but even so… the way she talks and reacts, seems so… grown up,' Touma thought.

Suddenly there was a sound of a stomach rumble. Touma looked at Index.

"I almost forgot… we still have to go to that restaurant!" Index exclaimed, as the eyes turned into stars, and she began to drool.

"Hold on, I thought I already said no!" Touma said.

"Oh come on, I walked with you in here, don't you think I deserve a reward for skipping my second lunch?" Index, said.

"No! That restaurant is way too expensive!" Touma yelled. Index eyes turned into stars again.

"TOOOUUUUUMMAAAAAA!" She yelled, as she again jumped on the unprepared boy, and bit him in the head.

"AHHHH! JUST MY LUCK!" Touma screamed as the girl bit into his head.

(Seen from Kuroko's perspektive)

"Have you found anything yet Uriharu?" Kuroko asked. Uriharu kept typing on her computer, like before, and numbers flew across the screen.

"No, it's like he simply just disappeared," Uriharu said, not taking her eyes off the screen.

"Well his ability actually might make that possible," Koneri said, giving the two girls two cups of tea.

"Thanks, but what do you mean by, his ability makes that possible?" Kuroko asked, as she took a sip of the tea.

"As Misaka said, his ability makes him able to turn his entire body into dark matter," Koneri said.

"And also everything he touches?" Uriharu asked, as she looked at the Judgement branch leader.

"Apparently, but it would make sense that the would've done that to avoid getting caught on the cameras," Koneri said.

"Yeah, he IS the second strongest esper in all of Academy city. I guess he by the time knows how to avoid those things," Uriharu said, beginning to type again.

"But then how are we gonna find that poor girl?" Kuroko asked.

"We'll just have to keep looking… ! . Wait, this is weird," Uriharu said.

"What is it?" Kuroko asked.

"All the cameras, in district and alley, in district 10 are out," Uriharu said.

!. Both Kuroko and Koneri looked shocked at their fellow officer, as she kept typing on the keyboard.

A second later, the screens went black.

"See, this is all the cameras show… and what's more, it's the same place that girl was abducted!" Uriharu said.

"!. Well, this could be a lead! I'll go there right away!" Kuroko said, as she quickly grabbed her armband, and teleported away.

She was in the area within a couple of minutes.

"Hold in the name of Judgement!" Kuroko said, as she ran around the last corner.

"!. What are you doing here!?" She yelled, as she saw who stood in the alley.

(Seen from Accelerators perspektive)

Accelerator was currently sitting on a bench, staring at Last order who played together with some kids. Not that he cared if she got hurt when playing anyway… but somebody had to look after her.

'Man, could that little brat be anymore annoying? I wish she could be less noisy sometimes,' Accelerator thought.

Suddenly a picture of Jenny laying helpless and tied up on the ground popped op. He tried to shake off the thought.

'What's with that brat anyway… nobody's ever spoken to me like that.'

You know you really shouldn't mess with me, Accelerator said.

Is that so? Jenny asked, a little time after.

Ha, do you think you are stronger than me? Cause if that's the cause that's the last mistake you are gonna make, Accelerator said.

I don't think that at all, I just don't get why i should be afraid of you, Jenny said.

'And why is it that I can't seem to get her out of my head? It's not like I care much about what happened to her, but there's something odd about her. Her voice, and attitude, it's like she's 10 years older than she appears,' Accelerator thought.

Accelerator looked back at Last order and the other kids. They had all gathered together around something.

'What is that brat up to now?' Accelerator thought.

'Oh well, it's not like I care,' he thought, as the looked away again.

'!. What was that? I just felt like a huge amount of AIM fields just gathered together somewhere nearby… it's like, there are even more AIM fields, than the ones I produce…' Accelerator thought, as he clenched his teeth.

'No way! There's nothing in this city's that's stronger than me! I might've gotten weaker after my incident… but, I'm still the strongest guy in Academy city. So why is it that i feel like a bigger amount of AIM fields than the ones I admit?' Accelerator thought.

He then stood up. "Hey, brat! We're going!" Accelerator yelled, annoyed. Last order looked at him, and then back at her friends.

But she didn't come… 'What's taking that brat so long?' Accelerator thought, as the walked over to the kids.

"Come on you brat," Accelerator said. She still didn't respond, and just looked at whatever they had found. Accelerator could now see what all the kids were looking at… a dead bird.

'Tch, why are they all gathering around for something like this?' Accelerator thought. Suddenly Last order talked.

"Isn't it sad? A cat murdered this poor bird, and left it here, says Misaka Misaka, in sadness," Last order said.

"Tch," Accelerator said, as he looked at the bird again. Suddenly a picture of a bloody Misaka corpse appeared.

'A dead bird huh… Tch, these kids are pathetic,' Accelerator thought.

"Come on you brat, we're going," Accelerator said, as the turned around. Last order finally stood up, and said goodbye to all her friends, and then ran over beside Accelerator.

They walked home in silence.

'I don't know what that earlier was… but I intend to find out,' Accelerator thought.

(Back to Kuroko)

"Shirai? Shirai, are you there!?" Uriharu's voice said. Kuroko didn't answer.

"What are you doing here!?" Kuroko yelled. The black haired boy looked at her.

"Umm… did something happen?" He asked.

"I should be the one to ask that! What are you doing here!? This is actually a crime scene!" Kuroko yelled.

"Ok, then we're sorry! Listen we were actually just about to leave!" Touma said in a nervous voice.

"Come on Index let's go," Touma said.

"Touma, would you mind explaining who this girl is, and how you two know each other?" Index asked, staring at Kuroko.

"Oh, and who might you be?" Kuroko asked, in a gentle voice.

"Hm! Who are you and how do you know Touma!?" Index asked. Kuroko looked at Touma.

"I guess this is a friend of yours?" She asked, sounding a bit irritated from Indexs' comment.

"Um well, you see…" Touma said, trying to explain.

"Come on let's go Index!" Touma said, as the took the little nun's hand and began to pull her away. As soon as they were around the corner, Kuroko could hear somebody scream, "TOOUUUUMMAAAAA!" And then she heard somebody scream in pain. She stared after them.

"Geez, I know there's a lot of different kind of relationships, but I've never seen one like theirs," Kuroko said, as she sighed.

Now she finally got the chance to look around.

'Man what in the world happened here?!' Kuroko thought. She looked at the security cameras.

'They're completely destroyed…' Kuroko thought, as she took out her phone.

"Oh, Shirai you finally called!" Uriharu exclaimed.

"Yeah sorry about that," Kuroko said.

"So is there anybody there?" Uriharu asked.

"Well… not anybody who could've caused the surveillance cameras to get destroyed," Kuroko said.

"Really? Are the cameras broken?" Uriharu asked.

"They sure are…" Kuroko said.

"Wow, is there anything else that's destroyed?" Uriharu asked.

"Yeah, actually there's signs of a battle between espers here," Kuroko said.

"Really? That would at least explain why the cameras are broken," Uriharu said.

"Yeah, I'll send some pictures," Kuroko said, ending their call. She then took some pictures and looked around one last time.

"Man, this place is really a mess…" Kuroko said as she sighed.

"I guess it isn't going to be as easy to find that girl as I thought," Kuroko said as she teleported away.

When she got back to the branch, they just looked through the pictures and then called it a day. It was actually really close to curfew, so Kuroko had to go right back home. But to her surprise, Misaka wasn't there yet.

"Hh, are you really gonna break curfew again Sissy?" Kuroko asked. She then called her, to get to know where she was.

"Her voicemail…" Kuroko thought as she closed her phone again.

'I guess she isn't gonna answer her phone…' Kuroko thought, as she stared out of the window. It was already pitch black outside, and now it began to rain.

"Come on… it's almost two hours past curfew," Kuroko said, as she sighed again. Suddenly she heard footsteps.

'Oh no! The headmistress is making sure everybody is sleeping!' Kuroko thought. She then used her ability to change into her PJs and to make it look like Misaka was sleeping.

And she then quickly teleported into her own bed just in time.

The next second, the headmistress quietly opened the door, but then closed it again. Phew… luckily i pulled that off, Kuroko thought. She then turned on the light again.

She looked at her phone again.

'Nothing… Not even a text,' Kuroko thought.

'This really isn't like you, Sissy… just going without saying anything, and then not even giving me a call. I'm beginning to get really worried,' Kuroko thought, as she sighed again.

She tried to call Misaka's number again, but just like before... 'only her voicemail,' Kuroko thought.

'Sissy… Where are you?' Kuroko said.

(Good question… Let's see!)

It was dark… It was clear that Misaka's eyes were closed. She slowly opened her eyes, just to discover that her vision still was blurry from before. Suddenly Misaka remembered everything that had happened, and she sat up with a set. She looked around.

'Where am I?' Misaka thought. She had a major headache, and she felt like she was gonna puke.

'Ugh… I feel like the time Jenny made me sick…' Misaka thought. The room she was in was completely white. (Like the ones you would do experiments in).

She was still looking around as she heard a familiar voice, speaking over the speakers.

"Hello, Railgun. I'm glad to see you have awakened."

"It's you!" Misaka said.

"Correct, you are currently still in a state where you can feel the after effects of my remote. And don't you even try to use your ability to escape… This room was built specifically to cancel out your power, so all the power you throw at the walls will just get deflected," Aiko said.

Misaka stared madly at the speaker, knowing Aiko could see her.

"What do you want from me?" Misaka asked as she stood up.

I guess i should begin to explain my plan to you…

"Well, you see, I'm actually an outsider, and don't belong here in this city. I'm originally from New York if that's interesting for you…" Aiko said.

"Yeah? And so what?" Misaka asked, harshly.

"Hmh… I came to this city about four years or so. I was so desperate back then. I've heard this place is the only place in the world that makes espers. I came here seeking power, but not for myself, of course. I sought espers who could help me accomplish my ultimate plan…" Aiko said.

"And what might that be?" Misaka asked.

"Taking down Academy city," Aiko said.

"!. You want to destroy the city?" Misaka asked surprisingly calm.

"Well, that's not my ultimate goal… with this city gone, I'll have the most powerful esper in the world! And then nobody will be able to stop me!" Aiko said, sounding mad.

"You're crazy! And your plan is never gonna work anyway! Academy city has already made a plan in case one of the level 5s ever turn on the city! Not even Accelerator can beat that!" Misaka yelled. But to Misaka's surprise, Aiko just began to laugh.

'He's insane…' Misaka thought.

"Of course, I know that. As I said I'm an outsider, so when I came to this city, I was really disappointed when I saw this " o so unstoppably first ranked esper", Aiko said.

Misaka thought back to her fight with Accelerator.

'He sure didn't seem all that weak to me,' Misaka thought.

"When the first ranked was weak, I thought about looking at the second-ranked, to see if his power was any better. Unfortunately, I was wrong and Dark Matter showed to be a disappointment as well. And of course, I thought that it wouldn't get any better as I went down the ranks. And that's when I thought about raising the power level of one of the level 5s," Aiko said.

"!. You're gonna create a level 6?" Misaka yelled.

"Oh please, I have no intention of that. Let me explain something for you Railgun. There is a reason the level 5s are ranked. How should I explain it… You remember your fight with Accelerator right? Or well, the fight you fought with that Touma kid. Accelerator said something about being stuck at level 5 because levels in Academy city don't go any higher than that."

"That actually wasn't that wrong," Aiko said.

"And what's that supposed to mean?" Misaka asked.

"Well, the levels 5s strength are also different, just like there are different power levels."

"You could say, that Accelerator was about level 5.6 back then," Aiko said.

"5.6?" Misaka said, in confusion.

"Yeah, it's about how close to level 6 he is. But unfortunately, after Accelerator got shot in the head, his power level dropped to level 5.4. That's also the reason I can't use him in this experiment since the can only use his power for 15 minutes, and Dark Matter is also unavailable since I've already used him in an experiment earlier," Aiko said.

Misaka kept staring madly at the speaker. "And so what?" She asked.

"Well… that was about four years ago, but then I stumbled over the two girls Haia and her sister."

"Haia? Oh right! Did you meet Jenny back then?" Misaka asked, madly.

"Indeed, it seems the two girls were already level 3s back then."

"!. At such a young age? That's impossible!" Misaka exclaimed.

"Yes, I thought so myself, I couldn't believe I was so lucky to find them, and then there was two of them."

"That was the time I began to turn the lifeforce of people into energy, or more precisely...Power," Aiko said.

"!. Wait...YOU'RE THE ONE WHO KILLED JENNY'S SISTER!?" Misaka yelled.

"I don't recall doing such thing, I might've done that back when Haia was still my test subject," Aiko said.

Misaka clenched her fist.

"How can you play around with people's lives like that!?" Misaka asked, madly.

"I don't know what you mean, but if you're talking about the sacrifices, you should know they probably appreciate helping to evolve world science," Aiko said.

"SHUT UP!" Misaka yelled, as she lit up with electricity and fired at around the room. But after she had calmed down, she realized the walls didn't even have as much as a scratch.

"I told you it's useless. Using your power has no effect in here," Aiko said. Misaka looked at the speaker again.

"So then… it was my plan to use Haia as a vessel to all the power I've gathered over the years. Such an innocent little girl would never be expected to hold the greatest power in the world. But I realized she's still way too young to hold such power when she met you."

"And that isn't all… I found out it would be better to use another level 5, even though she would be the most obvious choice," Aiko said.

"!. Wait! You're not saying that…" Misaka said.

"That's right Railgun… prepare! You are about to rise from the third to strongest esper in Academy City!" Aiko said as he began to laugh.
