Is she compressing the electricity again!? Touma asked, looking worried at his friend. Exactly… but this time, she isn't doing it on purpose, a somewhat familiar voice said. Touma turned around and saw Dark Matter. ! . What are you doing here? Touma asked, sounding suspicious. Relax, remember what 5th ranked did to me? Kakine asked. Touma nodded nervously. Well… she split my brain waves from the chips, which is the reason i could be controlled, Kakine said, with a straight face. Touma stared confused at him, but a little while after turned his attention to Misaka again. Do you know what's happening to her? Touma asked, still sounding nervous. Yeah… the effect of the machine that controlled both of us hasn't cooled off yet. That makes it even harder for her to control her ability, which is even a lot harder than usual because she has to make way more calculations that her brain might be able to handle, Kakine said. ! . And what's that supposed to mean!? Touma yelled. Well… the electrity's getting attracted to her like a magnet, because of her magnetic field. Touma stared at him. And that means? He asked, as the idiot he was. Hh, well it means there are two possible outcomes of this. One, if she somehow manages to get control over this, there's a big chance her power will stay this way, Kakine said.
Touma looked at Misaka. The face was still concentrated, and she was obviously still struggling with getting control over the electricity. What's the other one? Touma asked nervously. Kakine looked seriously at Misaka. Well… if she doesn't gain control over the electricity, it's going to run out of control even worse than before, Kakine said. ! . ANd then what will happen? Touma asked, still sounding nervous. Well… most likely, the city's going to take major damage, and then… Kakine said, pausing. Then what!? Touma yelled, desperately wanting to know what was going to happen with Misaka. Railgun's brain will melt, and her body's going to turn into ashes, Kakine said, sounding serious. ! . Touma stared terrified at he esper boy. What…. The thought, terrified of the thought. Isn't there anything we can do!? Touma yelled. Sorry, no can do. Try to touch that thing, and your hand will have the same fate as her, Kakine said, looking intently at Misaka. But you said there's a chance she can gain control over this! Touma yelled back at him.
Well yes… but the chance's really small, because her brains working was faster than it's used to. Think about if for a second, it's like if your brain constantly had to observe everything that's happening around you. As you would expect, it wouldn't be possible to see every single thing, not even for a second, Kakine said. Touma didn't answer, but clenched his teeth and looked back at Misaka. Please Misaka… I know you can do this, Touma thought, looking at her. A powerful wind was blowing from the electricity spinning around. I have to take control over all this… Misaka thought, concentrating harder. Sweat was running down her head, which by the way hurt really badly from all he calculations. No… I can't let that freak win over me like this! It's just like the day i became a level 5. I just have to calculate quicker… Uhh, even though it's a bit more than what I'm used to, Misaka thought. The electricity began to lose it's form. Eh! Misaka began to glide a little backwards, as the electricity pushed her. Geh! I can't… there's just way too much electricity, Misaka thought. The tornado got even more unstable. Come on, bend, bend! Misaka thought. Almost all of Academy city was watching her right now, or well, they could see the giant lightning tornado in the sky.
Suddenly… the situation changed. The unstable tornado suddenly became more stable, and began to tighten up around Misaka again. ! . It's working! Misaka thought, concentrating even harder. Dark Matter and Touma stared at her, just waiting to see what was going to happen. This has turned out way more interesting than i thought it would… a voice suddenly said. ? . Telepathy? Misaka thought, still concentrating. I must say Railgun… you've made a very interesting show tonight, the voice said. Who are you? Misaka asked. Don't worry about who i am… after all, you're way more interesting than me right now, the voice said. What do you want? Misaka asked, as she again gut pushed harder to the ground. Well, normally i don't help people out, but you're an exception. I've always wondered what would happen if something like this happened, and i must say… you've performed surprisingly good, the voice said, as Misaka suddenly felt she got control over the electricity. I have control again, but how! She thought. Hm, that's just a little secret of mine. Goodbye, Railgun, the voice as it suddenly got quiet. Now, Misaka was left to deal with he electricity again. Even so… it somehow seemed a lot easier to control now. Compress it… Was all Misaka could think. More.. More… MORE! She thought, as she electricity began to gather tightly around her.
The next few moment went by like in slow motion…The electricity quickly formed from the tornado looking thing, into light. Misaka stood in a circle of light, anf for a second, she felt like she heard the voice. How fascinating you are Railgun… It said. Then, all the light went out in one big explosion. Touma and Dark Matter covered their eyes from the blinding light. A couple seconds after the explosion, Touma felt like his ears were screaming, but it quickly went away. He opened his eyes, and was shocked by what he saw. There was a giant crater, about 20 meters deep, and at least 100 meters wide. It had stopped right before it had hit he two boys. In he middle was Misaka. She had burn marks all over her body, but at least she was alive. Tears of relief appeared in Touma's eyes. Misaka! He once again yelled, as the glided down the sides and began to run over to her unconscious body. The sat down beside her, and lifted her head up. Talk to me Please Misaka! Touma yelled. She slowly opened her eyes. Touma… She said, were quietly as she looked away. It's okay Misaka, everything's alright now, Touma said, with a smile. I'm sorry… She whispered as she fell asleep again. ! . Touma looked at her unconscious body with a worried look on his face.A couple minutes later, both Anti-skill and some ambulances came. Gunha, Misaka and Touma were all taken to the hospital, and Kakine was questioned, much to his disagreement, but one thing was sure… it was over.
(Seen from Jenny's perspektive)
Jenny slowly opened her eyes. She realised somebody was carrying her, even though she couldn't feel her own body. She looked up in a pale face, that had blood red eyes and white hair. Accelerator? Why's he carrying me? Oh yeah… I collapsed in he middle of the street, Jenny thought with a tired voice. Why? She whispered. Her voice was almost gone. Accelerator stared at her and closed her 's something I've been wanting to ask you about, but first we need to get you treated. I'm pretty damn sure you won't be able to tell much when you can't even move on your own body, Accelerator said. Jenny used her ability for a second, and then smiled. Oh i see… so that's the real reason huh? She thought, as she again fell asleep in Accelerators arms. Accelerator sighed. Why do i even care about this? The asked himself, as a picture of Last order popped up inside his head.
(Seen from Uriharu's and Saten's perspectives)
The two girls ran as quick as they could to the hospital and almost made he doors fall of as they got inside. A nurse send them a mad look making them apologize, before they went to reception. Were friends of Kuroko Shirai and Mikoto Misaka! Uriharu said, sounding desperate to know what happened to her friends. Hold on a second… Kuroko Shirai and Mikoto Misaka… ! . They're some of the people who got involved in that incident, right? She asked only a couple seconds later. Both of he girls looked into the ground. IT had only been a couple hours since the incident had occurred, but it was already known over he entire city what had happened. You girls don't look to good either…. what happened to you two? Were you hurt under the incident? She asked. Oh, please, this is nothing. We're just really worried about our friends, Uriharu said. The receptionist smiled. Well… i think Mikoto Misaka's still out, but Kuroko Shirai might be in good enough shape for a quick visit- Yes, but not for long, a voice said interrupting her. Oh! doctor, the receptionist said, as a man who reminded he girls awfully lot of Gekota came from a hallway. Really!? Can we see her!? Saten exclaimed. He nodded, and both of the girls followed him.
A little later, they arrived to a room on almost the highest floor. Shirai! Both of he girls exclaimed as they saw their bruised friend. Kuroko smiled as she saw her worried friends. Oh, hi Uriharu.. Saten, she said with a smile. Are you alright!? You look awful, Uriharu said, with a worried voice. Don't worry… it's actually not that bad anymore, she said. Well, even so you should take it slow. I don't know how you or your friend ended up getting to beaten up, but i must say i haven't had so many so beaten up patients in a single day, Heaven canceller said. All of he girls giggled awkwardly. That guy who was at he scene had already given all he details of what happened, but even so, it's pretty amazing how many people were involved and injured, Heaven canceller said. Yeah… but doctor, do you know what happened to Sissy? Kuroko asked. Kuroko had been unconscious for he last hours, and nobody had told her what happened. You mean that girl who was used as a test subject? I must say… she's got some extraordinary powers, but that make sense of course, i mean since she's a level 5. But even so, her condition worries me, Heaven canceller said, making all he girls look worried at him.
Right now, her brains just getting used to thinking on it's own again, but even so…it's like there another disturbance keeping her from awakening, Heaven canceller said. And what does that mean? Is she gonna be alright? Saten asked, sounding pretty nervous. Heaven canceller looked away. As of for now i can't tell you much… I don't know how things will be for her when she finally awakens. I don't know if her power's increased, or if it's just back to normal again, but don't you worry girls, her life is in no danger as of for now, Heaven canceller said, as he left the room. All of the girls were quiet for a long time after that. None of them knew what to say, and were really worried about their friend. Finally, Saten broker he silence. Do you think Misaka's gonna be alright? She asked, with an unsure voice. Uriharu looked into the ground with a worried expression. I'm not sure… Uriharu said, with a low voice. Kuroko just stared into the ceiling. Just like Uriharu and Saten she was shocked. A couple minutes later, Uriharu and Saten left without her saying a word. Uriharu and Saten silently walked down the hallways, but suddenly stopped and looked at a door leading into another hospital room. TOOOUUUUMMAAA! Somebody yelled. Then there was a scream, and the sound of somebody growling. Both of he girls looked confused at each other, but when there a little while after got silent, they left the hospital, still not saying anything.
(About 100 meters down from where the girls were currently standing)
He group known as Item, were walking down the sewers, having just finished a job. The girls were chatting about going back to their private pool, as their leader known as Meltdowner's phone rang. She picked it up. Is this Item's leader? An unfamiliar voice said. Yeah, we've just gotten back from another job, so this better be good, Mugino said. Well… as you might know, an experiment known as Project overheat has just ended, he voice said. Tch, so what? Mugino asked, trying not to sound interested. Hm, well as you might know, an awfully amount of people were badly hurt and brought to the hospital, only a couple hours ago, he voice said. So what? Get to the point, Mugino said, sounding annoyed. Well… amongst those people were the Railgun, the voice said. ! . Mugino couldn't resist sounding a little interested. Tch, i've wanted to fight that stupid brat ever since she beat me… even so, it was al Frenda's fault, so i'd like to see her fight on her own, Mugino thought smiling. I have a very… interesting job regarding the Railgun, the voice said. Mhm, yeah, Mugino said, as a scary smile suddenly appeared on her face. That much just for that? Well, of course i can't say no, she said, ending he phone call.
Well girls… turns out we've just gotten ourselves a very interesting job, Mugino said. Oh! But we just got back from our last one! I'm tired! I need a break! Frenda said, complaining. Oh.. trust me Frendy… you'll like this job, Mugino said, turning around. Huh? Frenda said, staring confused at Mugino, who began to smile. Hh, i guess we don't have any choice! Frendy said, sounding tired. Come on now, you know you're gonna have fun as soon as we begin another job, Takitsubo said. Yeah, yeah, i just wished we had some time to relax before going to he next one. I'm all sweaty you know! Frenda said, still sounding tired. True enough, Takitsubo said, as he other three girls began to follow their crazy looking leader.
(Seen from Jenny's perspective)
She slowly opened her eye's again. The hospital? How did i end up here? Jenny thought, as a memory of Accelerator carrying her popped up in her head. Oh yeah… that's right. Accelerator carried me here, she thought, as she realised somebody was sleeping at her bed. Who is that? She thought, studying the little girls face. ! . Last order? She whispered. Last order woke up by somebody calling her name. Oh! You're awake, Says Misaka Misaka in relief of you being alright, Last order said. Jenny looked at her. Why are you here? She asked, still sounding completely tired. Her voice still wasn't back, and she wasn't feeling to good either. She felt like she was about to puke, and she had a major headache, not speaking about the pain she felt from her injuries. Gh! She said, as a strong pain suddenly hit her in he stomach. Last order noticed. Are you alright? Asks Misaka Misaka, concerned about your injuries, Last order said. Jenny tilted her head away from Last order, since it was the only thing she could move. Don't worry about me, I'm fine, Jenny said, looking out of the window. Well… not quite, a familiar voice said. Jenny and Last order both looked up at a Gekota faced doctor who had just entered the room. Heaven canceller? Jenny asked, still sounding tired. The smiled. Well, it seems like your injuries are healing quickly enough, Heaven canceller said, sounding optimistic.
Jenny didn't say anything, even though Last order smiled very cutely. Even so… it seems your brain had been damaged sometime in the experiment. Even though i know you don't feel very well, i'd like you to tell me how your brain has been so damaged. I'm not saying it won't heal over time, but it's like something was about to squish it, and it also overheated itself in some way. How did that happen? Heaven canceller asked, sounding both serious and confused. Last order and Heaven Canceller looked at Jenny. A memory, of Jenny's own AIM fields almost crushing her popped up in her head, and for some reason, the head began to hurt just of thinking of it. Well… it's a long story, Jenny said, with what was left of her voice. Heaven canceller looked at her. Well.. you can tell me that story later. There's something you should know, he said, as Accelerator suddenly entered the room. Heaven canceller pretended he wasn't there. Something about your brain seems really unusual… he said, as the found a picture, of her brain. For some weird reason, a white light was in he half of the brain. Of course, she already knew the reason why, but just looked sadly into the picture. It's like your brain hold two different sets of AIM fields, and two different personal realities, almost like there's two different abilities.
And what's more.. one of them seems to be a lot stronger than the other. He only time i've ever seen an ability as strong as your strongest, is whenever i've treated level 5s, Heaven canceller said. ! . What does that mean!? Asks Misaka Misaka, to get more information about the doctors obvious conclusion, Last order said. Accelerator looked into he ground. So it is really true… he thought, looking at the little girl. Well… it's true, Jenny said, finally telling he truth. Last order stared at her with a confused do-you-really-mean-what-you-are-saying? Look. Heaven canceller looked at the picture of her brain again. It's really extraordinary, i've never seen anything like this before, the said, studying her brain again, and then looking at her. Well… a lot of things have happened, Jenny said, still not sounding happy. Hm, well either way the experiments over, so there's no reason for you to worry anymore, Heaven canceller said. You say that now… but even you have no idea of the infinite darkness i've faced after I received my stupid ability. If i hadn't gotten this stupid ability to begin with, nothing of this would've happened, Jenny thought, looking out of the window. Suddenly she smiled. I guess if it hadn't been me somebody else would've suffer just as horrible, if not they would be dead right now.
Hm, I guess i am pretty lucky, i have people to count on, even though we aren't exactly friends, Jenny thought, looking at Heaven canceller again. He looked worried at her, as if the could see all he things she had gone through, and all the times she had been suffering. Well there's one last thing i want to tell you. The chip you had on your arm seemed to have been damaging your brain, and blocking your ability. Of course, i think you already have realised that, even though your power have returned in some mysterious way, Heaven canceller said. Jenny didn't answer him. They were all silent for a while before the spoke again. Even so… it also appears something else has happened, Heaven canceller said. Jenny looked confused at him. What do you mean? She asked with a headache. Well… except for simply just blocking your ability, it's like it's taken a scan of your brainwaves. I don't know any reason for doing this, except it was a doctor who did it, he said. Jenny looked at him, as she remembered her brothers words: No, it isn't it's main purpose, just some side effect, until it gets the time to fully grow, to say it simple. Is this what the meant by it not being its main purpose? Even so… why would anybody want to scan and copy my brainwaves? Jenny thought, staring into the ceiling.
