(Seen from Misaka's perspective)
Misaka stared at her hands. They were tiny… or well, a lot smaller than she was used to. She looked around at her surroundings. It looked like the streets of Academy city. People were passing by, as if everything was normal. Misaka stared at all of them, before looking into a glass, that reflected her reflection. Gah! She thought, as she jumped back and fell over. She looked around, to make sure nobody had seen her, and then slowly stood up. What's going on? Misaka thought, as she again stared at her reflection. She looked a lot younger, probably about the same age as Jenny or Last order. She wore a black and white hoodie, but the hood wasn't over her head, and some blue jeans. Still… she had her hair clip as always. What's going on? Misaka thought, staring at her reflection. She turned around and looked at all the people passing by. Where am I? Misaka thought, still staring at everybody. After a little while, she decided just standing there wasn't going to answer any of her questions, so she decided she would just walk down the streets to see if she could figure out where she was. This place looks just like Academy city… Misaka thought, realising all the usual shops were where they usually were.

Suddenly she stopped. This doesn't make any sense… It's like the entire city has forgotten what just happened, Misaka thought, as she began to walk again. Only a few minutes later, she stopped again. She was exactly where she had been when he power had formed itself into a monster, and had controlled her. No, they don't just pretend like it never happened… the city… isn't even destroyed anymore, Misaka thought, staring at the totally fine buildings. She stared at them, as people were beginning to stare at her. Even so she ignored it, or more precisely, didn't notice it. She began to run… she didn't know to where, she just didn't want to believe any of this was real. After awhile she stopped right at he entrance of a back alley to catch her breath. She leaned against the wall, and quickly got her breath back. What's going on? Misaka thought, staring at her hands again. Suddenly, she clenched her teeth, and punched the wall she was leaning against as hard as she could. She felt he pain in her fingers and her hand as it began to turn red.

This isn't a dream, Misaka thought, biting her tongue trying to hold the pain in. But if it isn't a dream… then, where am I? Misaka thought, once again staring at all the people passing by. She looked at her injured hand and folded it together into a ball. She closed her eyes, and let electricity spark around her body. She smiled. At least it still feels like I have my full power, Misaka thought, a bit relieved, as she began to walk the streets again. None of this makes sense. First of all, I don't get why I'm a kid, even though i still have my power as a level 5. And second, I don't get where or what this place is, Misaka whispered, still looking around. Suddenly, she saw something. Academy city Tourist information center. Misaka looked at it for a couple seconds before entering it. The information center had touch screens, Tv's and a counter with a receptionist in the middle. This place is way bigger than i remember.. Misaka thought, looking around. It had been four years since she had been here. The only time she had been here before was when she first had come to Academy city.

She walked up behind some other people who looked at a screen. Welcome to Academy city. This city's technology's made it possible for people in this city to gain their very own esper power's. And that isn't all, a total of three people has… He screen suddenly turned off. Uh? Misaka looked confused at receptionist. Sorry everyone, but it seems like we have some technical difficulties… The receptionist said, as all the windows and the door suddenly got covered with metal plates. It was completely dark, and people began to freak out. Suddenly, there was the sound of a gunshot, and everybody got quiet. The lights turned back on, revealing a man holding the receptionist as a hostage. Nobody move! Or this woman is gonna die! The man yelled, as he nodded to some other men around in the information center, who took out some guns from their bags and began to take money from the reception. People were freaking out, and were on the edge to panik. I need to get people out of here, Misaka thought, as she sneaked her way over to the locked door. People noticed her, but didn't say anything, as she used her ability to open make the metal go up again, and let light come in from outside. Of course, the men noticed. Nobody leave! The man said, pointing his knife closer he he scared receptionists neck. Misaka stared at him, as a little electriety cracked at her head.

I wonder how many of them there are… Misaka thought looking around. Only three are showing themselves, but it would be really dumb to try and rob this place with that little men… I'll have to be carefull, Misaka thought, as she suddenly felt somebody grab her and put a hand over her mouth. Nobody try anything stupid, or it's game over for this kid too! Another man Misaka hadn't noticed before yelled. People stared at her with scared expressions, as they slowly moved away from her. Oh no you don't! Misaka thought, releasing electricity into the man holding her body. He screamed as he fell to the ground, with some smoke rising from his body. People stared amazed at what they had just seen. Misaka looked calm and mad up at the man holding the receptionist hostage. He was beginning to get nervous. Tch, so you're an esper huh? He asked, still not sounding to scared. Misaka stared at him, as people began to run out of the information center, leaving Misaka alone with the men. Let the woman go, Misaka said, with a strict voice. Tch, as if i'd listen to you. I've dealt with your kind before… You think i'm afraid just because you're an esper!? He man yelled, beginning to sound scared.

Well… let me tell you this: You're gonna regret interrupting us today, the man said, as the windows and doors quickly got covered with metal again, making the room completely dark. They're trying to make me scared by removing my sigh… well, unfortunately that trick doesn't work on me, Misaka thought, as she closed her eyes, and used her EM vision. ! . She jumped out of the way just in time before a man grabbed her again. Right as she landed, she fired electricity at him, making him scream, and fall to he ground just like his friend. Did you seriously think that would work on me? Misaka asked, sounding irritated, as she got up on her feet again. She put her hand on the wall, and instantly made the metal covering the doors go away. And this time, she made sure they would stay up. The other man stared at Misaka. Anti-skill had arrived in the background, making the man holding the woman sweat, and his hands began to shake of fear. A couple Anti-skill officers entered he building. Misaka recognized a certain dark blue haired, who was holding a shield. Let go of that woman! We've got the building surrounded, you and your buddies are under arrest! Yomakawa yelled.

Misaka felt some different hands pull her backwards. Come on, let's leave, another Anti-skill officer said, as she pulled Misaka out of the scene. Misaka didn't complain. She didn't want to get messed up with Anti-skill, and it's not like she wanted to use her time, stopping robberies. After they had left the building, the Anti-skill officer bent down to Misaka's height, and smiled to her. Are you alright? She asked, with a sweet voice. Misaka was about to roll her eyes, as she remembered she looked like a 9 year old girl, so she just nodded. A second later, the man was in handcuffs, and was entering an Anti-skill car. Misaka smiled happy that it turned out as it did, as he car drove away. Only a couple Anti-skill officers, including Yomakawa were standing back. She took out her phone and typed a number. Hello? Yeah don't worry, we've apprehended the culprit, and nobody was injured, Misaka heard her say. Right as Misaka was about to leave, she felt something was wrong and instantly turned around. She saw somebody standing in a back alley, only a couple meters away from he defenceless Yomakawa. She saw him pull out something from his pocket… ! . That's a knife! Misaka thought, as the man charged towards Yomakawa, who realized the man was there when the was only about 1 meter from her. Some electricity charged around Misaka.

Everybody stared shocked at what had just happened, but Yomakawa was probably the most surprised. Misaka stood there, holding the man's arm only a couple centimeters from Misaka's own head. The man tried to press the knife into Misaka's shoulder, but despite her size, Misaka held his hand back. Yomakawa stared at her. Who are you? She asked, still in shock of what happened. Misaka smiled, as she let some electricity run through the man's body. He screamed, as the fell to the ground while some smoke rose from his body. For a couple seconds everything was quiet, but suddenly, everybody began to cheer and clap of what they had just witnessed. Misaka blushed, as some Anti-skill officers took the man, and gave him handcuffs on. Misaka still blushed as she looked into the ground, as she suddenly felt somebody's hand touching her shoulder. Misaka looked up into Yomakawa's serious face. You're coming with us to the station, she said in a serious voice. Misaka stared nervous back at her, but even so came along as soon as another Anti-skill car arrived.

As they were driving to the station, she pulled out a coin(Which was surprisingly still in her pocket) and stared at it. What have i gotten myself into? She whispered, as she sighed and leaned her head up against the glass. Short time after, they arrived at the station. Misaka sat on a chair outside an office, as she waited to be questioned. She hated it, and almost couldn't sit still. Two hours later, she was pulled inside Yomakawa's office. Yomakawa sat on a chair on he other side of he table she was sitting by. Misaka looked at her hands, and Yomakawa looked at her with a curious look on her face. Who are you? Yomakawa asked, in a serious tone. Misaka slowly looked up at her. Well… um, Misaka said, not really knowing what she should say. What's your name? Yomakawa asked. Um… I'm Mikoto Misaka, Misaka answered, sounding a bit unsure. Yomakawa closed her eyes. Listen… what you did was both careless and dangerous. I mean, what do you think would've happened if we hadn't shown up to apprehend the man!? Things could've had gotten a lot worse than they did, Yomakawa said, in a strict voice. Misaka looked at her own hands. She didn't like being scolded, but she didn't know what to say when it was by Anti-skill..

However… Yomakawa said, beginning to sound less mad, making Misaka look at her. No matter how dumb your actions were, you did save a hell lot of people and my life, Yomakawa said, sounding less mad. Misaka stared directly into her eyes for the first time since she had entered this room. And also… i'd like to know how you ran as quick as you did in less than a second, Yomakawa said, looking curious at Misaka. Misaka gulped. Well it's my ability, she answered nervous. Yomakawa looked confused at her. The witnesses told me you used an ability to make the barrier locking all of them in go away, Yomakawa said. Misaka looked at her. Well that's my ability. I'm an electromaster, Misaka answered. What level? Yomakawa instantly asked. Misaka stared into Yomakawa's curious eyes, before she gulped again and answered. Fi… five, Misaka answered. Yomakawa didn't say anything about her answer. She just stared at her with confused eyes, as she suddenly sighed. Listen… i know you have big dreams, trust me, a lot of kids dream to one day become a level 5. But you saying that is impossible, since there are only three level 5s, Yomakawa said. ! . Only three!? Misaka thought. Well… if i was unsure before, it's official now. This isn't he same Academy city that I know, Misaka thought.

Yeah.. i know it sounds crazy… Misaka said, looking into her hands again. Yomakawa looked curious at her. Normally, I would just tell you what i just did and then tell you to forget about it. Even so… I've seen you in action. I know for sure even a level 4 can't just do that, Yomakawa said, making Misaka look up at her again. Unless you're a really skilled level 4, i guess i have no choice but to believe you, Yomakawa said. Even so… if you fought with your full power out there, you'd probably be considered a very weak level 5, Yomakawa said. Well… i didn't, Misaka answered, still a bit shy. Yomakawa looked away from her for once, thinking of what she should do about this sichuation. Ok then, i know somebody from the governing board. Tomorrow, I'll let you take a system scan, and then we can see if you really are a level 5, Yomakawa said. Misaka just nodded. Then she was free to go, and left as quickly as she could. As soon as she walked outside, she realised the sun was setting. Man it's gonna be dark in a couple hours… ! . And i don't even know where I'm gonna sleep! Misaka thought, as she suddenly stopped walking. And I can't rent a hotel room because I look like I'm only 9 years old for some reason, Misaka thought.

Suddenly, she felt like somebody was creeping up on her, and she turned around just in time to avoid a thug punching her in the face. She rolled across the ground, but quickly turned around again. What the heck are you doing!? Misaka yelled, sounding a bit childish. She looked at he person who had tried to punch her. A big group of people, about six men, walked up behind her. Is that seriously her? One of the thugs asked. Yeah, that's her from earlier today, I'm telling ya, she beat up our boss like he was nothing! Another man yelled. Misaka didn't recognize him, but assumed he had been at the robbery. Tch, you're lucky. We don't kill small girls like you, i mean come on, that's just too cruel, one of the men said. Misaka sighed. Would you believe me if I said I'm actually 14? She asked. All the men stared at her, and suddenly began to laugh. You? 14!? Come on, that's got to be one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard! The man said, laughing. However, Misaka just sighed again. Hh, thought so, she said, sounding pretty annoyed, making the men stop laugh. Tch, you little brat… don't you dare underestimate us! One of the guys in the front said. Hh, this is just a waste of time, Misaka said, sighing again.

Tch, if i were you, i'd RECONSIDERE TALKING TO US LIKE THAT! One of he men yelled, as the ran towards Misaka with his fist in the air. However, as soon as the man touched her, Misaka realised electricity into his body, and turned him into BBQ. Stupid brat! One of the men yelled, obviously annoyed with her taking out his comrade so easily. Hh, why do guys like you always seem to find and bug me? It's seriously starting to get annoying, Misaka said, in an annoyed voice. Oh like you should talk! The same guy as before yelled. His hair was blonde, and he wore a red and white hoodie, andmholed pants. His eyes were green and he had a bandage around one of his arms. You're just a stupid brat who doesn't know when to quit! Just look at what you did today! Do you seriously believe trying to stop the robbery all by yourself was a good idea!? I mean, just look at what you did: Three people got injured because of you, and still, you probably just got a hero thanking from Anti-skill, he said, clenching his fists. His comrades were beginning to seem worried. Calm down Daiki! Don't tell her to much! His comrades said, trying to calm him down. It didn't seem to work at all, and the guy by the name Daiki seemed like he was gonna say something more.

You're just a brat! Do you seriously believe you've ever done anything good? Well let me tell ya this: YOU'RE JUST A SPOILED LITTLE BRAT WHO DOESN'T WANT TO LEARN HER LESSON! He yelled. Misaka was seriously beginning to get pissed off. You wanna know what i think? Misaka asked, seriously trying to to sound furious. I think you're the ones who need to learn a thing or two about life! Misaka yelled, as she took out a coin from her pocket. I'll give you one chance to leave me alone, Misaka said, putting the coin to her thumb. Tch, do you think a little coin can scare us!? You're one of he must stupid little girls I've ever met! He yelled. Ok, that's it! Misaka thought, releasing electricity into the coin at her thumb. There was a sound from an explosion, as an orange beam barely missed their heads, and hit he wall behind them. The wall instantly got destroyed, and dust and stones from it, hit the thugs in their backs. All of them stared shocked into the air, not knowing what to say. The leader, Daiki, fell to his knees in fear. Misaka looked madly at them. If you'll excuse me I'm gonna go now…. and don't you dare ever talk to me again, Misaka said, clearly being rude. Even so, she had learned that was the only way to really get thugs to go away. Misaka turned around and left he shocked thugs, who had no idea of what they had just seen.

Unfortunately, things like that didn't pass as easy as that. It's like if you stay up late even though you know it's good for you to go to bed early, next morning you'll be really tired, as a punishment for not getting enough sleep. Of course a security camera had filmed everything that had just happened. On he other side of a computer screen, multiple kilometers away from where he battle between a level 5 and some skill-out members had taken place. The man sitting behind the computer screen stared just as amazed at what he had just seen, as the skill-out members looked terrified. Amazing… he said, as he suddenly pressed a button on his earpiece that was in his ear. What is it? A voice on the other end said. Um sir… I've just seen something amazing! The man exclaimed. Hh, I hope it truly is something worth of my time this time, the other voice said. Trust me! It is! He said, as he turned towards the computer again and then touched the screen, as he played the video again. A blue light appeared around his hands. The other voice was silent a couple seconds after the video ended. Suddenly, it began to laugh. HA HA HA HA! Well! It turns out you really did find something truly amazing! It said with an insane voice, as it began to laugh again.
