Both Misaka and Jenny stared in silence at Aiko, with scared expressions at their faces. Project overheat can finally begin after 7 years, Aiko said, as he nodded to a scientist standing by the machine, that stood on the roof. A second later the scientist nodded back and pressed something on the machine. A second later, Misaka felt he power surging through her body, and sparks instantly began appearing around Misaka. Suddenly, Jenny felt a huge pain in her head, and a second later, she felt like she got electrocuted. AH! She screamed, as electricity, appeared around her. Looks like it's begun… Jenny said in pain, as she looked at Misaka. Her face also looked in pain, but even so, Jenny knew she was gonna take most of the pain. More electricity appeared around Misaka, and her face still seemed to be in strong pain. Jenny looked at her, as she felt he pain surging through her body again. AH! She screamed, as she once again got electrocuted.
At this rate… it won't take long before everything is lost… and there's nothing to do about it anymore- AH! Jenny screamed again. Suddenly he small cracks of electricity around Misaka began spinning really really quickly around, until it formed itself into light blue rings surrounding Misaka. Suddenly the light blue rings surrounding Misaka, got wider and more unclear, and then, they suddenly flew extremely fast out and disappeared completely. A second later, an extremely powerful force shot out of Misaka, and made everything around her fly back. Aiko stopped himself from flying of the roof, by holding he big machine that was placed upon the roof, but even that moved backwards. He men holding Jenny, and Jenny herself flew backwards and hit into a wall. Jenny looked up at Misaka. He ground around her was destroyed, and electricity way stronger than before was all around her. Suddenly, the sky above he building began to get covered with huge dark gray clouds. Jenny looked up at them. What's going on here? She thought, scared. Suddenly Jenny felt pain again, but suddenly, he clouds formed into a big circle in the sky. A second later, a giant lightning beam fell down from the sky over Misaka, and he he handcuffs keeping he most of he power away broke, or more likely, they burned from the heat from the lightning. Misaka's face was in pain again, and so was Jenny's. It's so… hot… Jenny thought, as he lightning beam suddenly shrunk around Misaka again.
The building began to shake, and suddenly a huge bubble of electricity appeared and covered the entire roof with an electrical barrier. Jenny felt the the electricity tightening he air, making it difficult to breathe. Slowly burn marks began appearing all over Jenny's skin from the heat, and Jenny had a major headache. This can't keep up.. at this rate… Jenny thought as a giant lightning beamt flew right over her head, and completely smashed the wall, and he force made Jenny fly forwards again, with a little scream. The vision started getting blurry. Please hurry… AH! Jenny thought, as she let out a scream in pain.
(Seen from Touma's perspektive)
Touma was finally out on he streets again. The breathed heavily, as the ran as fast as the could. I won't allow it… I wont allow Misaka to go through that again, not as long as i am here! Touma thought, as he began to run even quicker. Suddenly he stopped and looked at the sky. What's going on… Touma thought, as he stared into he sky. A very exhausted Misaki came, a little later, breathing even heavier than Touma. Man… couldn't you try to run a little slower? She asked. Touma didn't answer her, and just stared into the sky. As Misaki saw this, she suddenly got all her breath back, and a sad expression on her face. It's begun… she said, in a serious voice. What!? Touma asked, turned his attention to he blonde haired level 5. Aiko's already begun… not much can stop all of this now, she said, sounding hopeless. Tch, Damn it! Touma said, as the began to run again. The was close now… only a couple streets. Suddenly the saw it… the building. But something was off. A giant beam of lightning was coming down from the clouds. Oh no… please don't tell me that's Misaka! Touma thought, as the suddenly stopped again. A giant bubble of electricity suddenly appeared on he top of he building, covering the sky. There's no doubt about it's really her… I just really hope I'm not too late, Touma thought, as he clenched his teeth. Suddenly he big blue bubble disappeared in an explosion of light and created a powerful force that, instantly pushed everything around the building backwards. Touma, who wasn't prepared, also got blown back and fell across the ground.
Damn it… Touma thought, as the stood up again, and continued to run. All Touma could think of as the ran up he stairs was Misaka, and what was happening to her. He entire building was shakening, and electricity was around everything that was made out of metal. Please… just hang in there Misaka, Touma thought, as he finally reached he top floor. Everybody stared at him, as the made he doors to he roof fly open. He breathed heavily as he looked at Misaka, who was completely surrounded by electricity. He two guards, who were on their feet again, stood prepared with their guns aimed at Touma. Shall we get rid of he intruder? One of them asked. No… i'd like to see how this turns out, Aiko said, with a creepy smile, surprising the two men, as the made them lower their weapons. Misaka! Touma called. Misaka slowly looked up at him with an expression of pain on her face. What are you doing here? She asked, in pain. I came to save you, he replied. Don't worry i'm not gonna allow this guy to do you anymore harm, Touma said, as he turned his attention towards Aiko, who smiled at him.
So it's you… you're he one who did all of this!? Touma yelled. Aiko closed his eyes, but didn't stop smiling. I'm surprised you've made it this far. Of course, it would be a different story if Mental out hadn't shown up, Aiko said, making Touma realise she wasn't with him anymore. But even so, the still just looked at him, an angry expression. Let Misaka go you bastard! Touma yelled. Aiko's smile got bigger. Hh… seems like you don't understand Railgun's situation right now… you see i can't let her go, even if i wanted, Aiko said. And why's that? Touma asked, harsh. Try thinking about it. Right now, she's in a state where the body needs to absorb all of the power that's forced into her brain. I can't get her out of it, it would be like… forcing her brain to stop it, which of course only she would be able to do, if she had control ever her own verganic brainwaves. But, unfortunately, Haia's taking all he pain, and he damage that could possibly hit Railgun, she there's no way for her to control it, Aiko said. Right as the said that, a light blue beam flew past Touma's head and made an explosion only a couple meters behind him, making him fly forwards. Damn it… the muttered, as he got on his feet again. He looked at Misaka. Her eyes were closed, but even so, her facial expression screamed of pain. Even her hands were on her head, as if she was hurt. Touma began sweating, as the realised how dangerous the situations was.
The looked at Aiko again, with another angry emotion, as the began to laugh. She's quite formidable, don't you think? Aiko asked, as he looked at Misaka. Unfortunately, right now she's only as strong as if she used her full power, so even without going through this she would be able to use this much power, Aiko said. ! . Touma looked, as Misaka. I've never seen her use this much of her power before… of course, i haven't seen her fight many times so that makes sense, Touma thought, as the looked at Aiko again. It's time to go beyond her own limits, and extent her power even further! Aiko yelled, as it suddenly began to get really windy. Wind? Touma thought, as the looked at Misaka. He sky was still covered, in gray clouds. Touma looked at he machine standing behind Aiko, as it suddenly began to shine light blue. After a little time, he light blue light faded away again. Touma suddenly heard somebody scream, and looked in he direction i had come from. ! .It's that girl again! Touma thought. But what's she doing here? And more importantly, why is she tied up, and just got electrocuted? Touma thought, as the clenched his teeth. Damn you Aiko… the said, with a mad expression, and a seriously mad sounding voice. Aiko still smiled. What' wrong? Isn't he looks of somebody finally surpassing the strongest in he city? Aiko asked, sounding both mad and calm. You're lucky imagine breaker… you get to be first hand witness to something extraordinary! Aiko said. And now… behold! Of a power greater than you could ever imagine! Aiko yelled, as he machine lit up again.
Suddenly Misaka screamed in pain, making Touma look at her. Misaka! The yelled, as he tried to get over an touch her. Maybe if i touch her with my imagine breaker, her power will at least stop growing! Touma thought, as he began to run towards her. However… as Touma got close, he realised he electrical barrier surrounding Misaka was way to strong for him to even get close… the air around her was thick of electricity, and made it harder to breathe. He electrical barrier held Touma back, and at last made him fly back. Suddenly, something terrifying happened. Misaka suddenly made another lightning beam appear, but instead of it coming down through he clouds, she shot it up at he sky, into he dark clouds. Aiko began to laugh with an insane look in his eyes. Behold! This is gonna be exiting… prepare to fight for your life imagine breaker! Cuz this is gonna be your last battle… Aiko said, insanely as the began to laugh evilly again. Touma stared into he sky as it got even bigger. What… is that thing!? The thought, terrified as the began to shake a little of fear.
(Seen from Kuroko's perspective)
Jacelynn was currently helping Kuroko walk, as they slowly made their way towards a hospital. Man i feel so pathetic… i couldn't do anything do protect Sissy last time, and now… i've failed her again! Kuroko thought, as a suddenly pain in her stomach made her fall to her knees again, even though Jacelynn tried to help, her stand. Are you sure you're gonna make it? Jacelynn asked. Yeah… Don't worry about me, Kuroko said, as she slowly began to stand up again. You sure you're alright? You've got some injuries after that last battle, JAcelynn said, with a worried expression. Kuroko looked into he ground. Sissy… she thought. Suddenly she heard, lightning. They both turned around, and saw a giant lightning beam fall from he sky, unto a rooftop. ! . What's that!? Jacelynn asked, in fear. That must be Sissy! Kuroko yelled, as she tried get out of Jacelynn's grip. But Jacelynn had a got grip around her arm, and didn't let go. Even so.. she stared at he lightning falling from the sky, with a worried expression at her face. It sure must be interesting up there… a familiar voice suddenly said.
A chill ran down Kuroko's spine as she remembered who the voice belonged to. Kuroko slowly looked behind her, with a terrified look in her eyes. Not many people had ever beaten her in a fight, but this one was by far the most terrifying. You're… still alive? Kuroko asked, in shock as she looked at he esper. Yeah sure, she looked a little beaten up, but toss that aside she didn't' look like she just came from a fight with a level 5. Who are you? Jacelynn asked, sounding a bit unconfident. Kuroko stared at her. She's the one who did this to me… She finally answered after a little time. ! . Jacelynn looked scared at Kuroko, and then slowly at Jacelynn. She's a level 4 like both of us, but her skills are as strong as a level 5, Kuroko explained. Even so.. she shouldn't be alive, or at least in such a good shape right now. Unless… ! .Don't tell me even he strongest esper in academy city wasn't a match for you, Kuroko suddenly yelled. No, unfortunately Accelerator was way stronger than i thought. I had no chance of defeating him, and i knew he wouldn't show me any mercy with killing me. But, all who are specially trained to take down a level 5, always have a backup plan. or more likely… a backup body, Akari said. ! .Both Kuroko and Jacelynn looked scared at her.
What do you mean backup body!? Jacelynn yelled, in confusion and fear. Well you see… Akari said, as she explained: (This is a flashback) Akari breathed heavily as she stood behind her wall. One of her arms were bleeding, and she felt a huge pain in her stomach from an earlier blast. Man… he's way tougher than i thought, Akari thought, as she looked around the corner she was hiding behind. Click...Click...Click, she could hear him coming. Ya done playing hide and seek? Accelerator asked, sounding tired. Akari looked at him, before she used the ability to get behind him. Unfortunately, he noticed and then made force make her fly into the other side of the sewers. Accelerator yawned, as the slowly began to walk towards Akari again. She was already on her feet again, and not stared intently at Accelerator. Well.. this wasn't much of a challenge, if all the espers trained to eliminate the level 5s are as weak as you, i don't think you'd ever be able to beat a single one of them, Accelerator said. Tch, you're just lucky i'm not trained in taking you on in battle. I can bet every single one of the level 5s, except for you, Akari said, with a straight face. Hh, let's just get this over with, Accelerator said, as the took up he crutch over his head. A powerful force started gathering, and all Akari could do was sit there, helpless.
And that's when i did it, Akari said. Back at the facility, people from all over he world participate in experiment to help us get strong. You could say that all of us had a look-a-like, back there, Akari said. ! .You switched places with somebody who looks like you!? Kuroko asked, in shock. Yeah, that's basically it, Akari said. And what' happened to them!? Jacelynn asked. Don't know, but i think Accelerator is just getting finished up with them about now, so don't even think about trying to rescue them, since it's probably already to late, Akari said. Then why are you here!? Haven't you beat me up enough? Kuroko asked. Well, kind of. Something about you just really pisses me off… i came here, to finish the job, since you know too much, Akari said, as she suddenly got a bloodthirsty look in her eyes. Kuroko suddenly felt the pain in her stomach again and she fell down again. Akari smiled. Do you still feel to pain from our last battle? She asked, sounding a little childish. Well to bad… it isn't going to be any fun at all crushing you, Akari said, as he same needled Kuroko use, appeared in her hand. Hold on! Don't forget i'm here! If you want to do anything to disturb the peace within the city you have to go through me! Jacelynn yelled.
Hm? Who are you? Akari asked, sounding uninterested, of the answer she would get. I'm Jacelynn Chiaki, from Anti-skill, officer 10043, Jacelynn said, as she stood in the way of her getting to Kuroko. No Jacelynn! Kuroko yelled. Don't worry, i'm a level 4, remember? I can handle her, Jacelynn said, sounding confident. No you don't understand!-Kuroko said, but was cut of, when he pain hit her left arm again. Oh i think i understand it quite well! Jacelynn yelled, as she suddenly teleported metal pipes at Akari, who just stood there. No, Jacelynn! Kuroko yelled, but it was already to late. Akari suddenly disappeared and appeared again with the metal pipes in her hands. Another level 4 teleporter huh? Well, i must admit, it's rare to fight two espers with he same ability and level, Akari said. ! . You're a level 4 teleporter too!? Jacelynn yelled, as she looked back at Kuroko. Yeah, that's what i tried to say. Her ability makes her able to slow down time, to make it look like she's an even faster teleporter than us! Kuroko yelled. ! . Jacelynn was surprised as she heard, this and looked at Akari with an even more serious expression. What' more, she's one of only 11 people in this city who take down one of he level 5s, Kuroko said, in a serious voice. ! . Jacelynn looked at her friends with a scared look in her eye, and she then slowly looked at Akari, who looked down into he ground. Oh, so you remember? She said as she smiled. Let's have some fun girls, She said, with a crazy look in her eyes.
(Seen from Accelerator's perspective)
Accelerator slowly made his way down he hallways of he sewer. Man this place is way bigger than i thought, Accelerator said, but still continued. Suddenly he saw something… What's that? Accelerator thought as he looked up at he wall. A security camera? Accelerator thought, looking directly into it. He then destroyed he camera, and continued walking. WHy would there be any security cameras down here anyway? It's not like these sewers are being used anymore, so it can't be Academy city who've placed them down here, Accelerator thought, as he saw another one. But once again, the just destroyed in and kept walking. Suddenly he saw a metal door with a control panel right besides it. Not that the cared it was locked, so the just smashed the door and walked through. This must be what that girl was protecting, Accelerator thought, looking around. The walls where all white, but all there was to see was long empty hallways, and lots of doors. Accelerator began to look behind all of the doors, but mostly, the would just find empty rooms with nothing in them. This is starting to get weird… why would anybody protect an empty lab? Accelerator thought, as he suddenly felt something and stopped. There's somebody else here… and not just one, but multiple, Accelerator thought, as he saw another door with a control panel.
But the still didn't' care, and just smashed he door again. It revealed a dark room with some tubes with orange stuff inside of them. Accelerator walked further inside of the room, and then realised there was people inside of he tubes. 1,2,3,4,5… in total there was seven tubes, all with people inside of them, and on all of he tubes, there was a name. Hitomi Hayato, The red under one of them. A lot of them were adults, but among them were also two kids. One boy with black hair, and also a girl with long brown hair. Maho Chiyo, was he boys name. Accelerator looked at the girl for a long time. The didn't know why, but for some reason he felt like he had seen the before somewhere, or at least somebody similar in some way. The didn't know exactly why, but he girl gave him a strange feeling, like there was something special about her. The then red her name: Ahmya Teitoku.
