Misaka slowly opened her eyes. Her back was really stiff, and she felt like she hadn't slept at all last night. Since she didn't know were she lived in this crazy world, or if she even had some place to live, she had just slept on a rooftop, to avoid Anti-skill from finding her. She slowly stood up and stretched. Man that's the worst night's sleep i've ever had, Misaka thought, feeling the pain in her back. Well… no time to worry about stiff backs, Misaka said, as she looked over the city. It really did look like the Academy city she knew, now that the sun was rising up behind it, and the early morning breeze was cooling her down on the rooftop she was standing on. Seconds later, Misaka jumped back down using her magnetizam to safely land in the beginning of a back alley. She stood back there, but after a little while began to walk out on the streets. Suddenly, she remembered something and checked her pockets. A phone, that looked exactly like the one she had, was in it. Ok then, now that's clear at least, Misaka thought. There was almost nobody out on the streets but it was really early in the morning, so it made sense. Man, what am supposed to do here? Just wait until something happens? Misaka thought. Hhh, she sighed. This is seriously starting to get confusing she thought.
Misaka stopped for a seconds and looked at a very familiar restaurant. The stomach was growling, so she decided to in there to eat breakfast. Surprisingly, everything looked like it normally did, and she also had a good amount of money in her gekota wallet, so paying for he food way no problem, even though people stared at her, because she ate all by herself. When she was done, she let out a sigh. Hhh, well he food doesn't taste any different than usual, she thought, as she stood up left the restaurant in silence. Then, without realising it, her feet automatically began to lead her down the streets of the weird place she was in. Suddenly, she passed by he information center where the robbery had taken place yesterday. The place was closed down and looked a little destroyed from the outside, even though Misaka knew it was worse on the inside. She quickly passed by, as she was afraid some Anti-skill officers would recognize her from yesterday and begin to ask her questions. There was beginning to come more people on the streets, making the city feel even more like Academy city.
Misaka walked down the streets, and was seriously about to get bored, as she suddenly stopped. What's this weird feeling i get? Misaka thought, as she turned around. However, Misaka couldn't see anybody unusual. Was it just my imagination? No, somebody's following me, Misaka thought, as she began to walk again, little quicker this time. She still felt like somebody was following her, and the EM waves that surrounded her were like constantly having strong sensors all around Misaka's body. Well mister follower, you wanna play? Let's see just how fast you are! Misaka thought, as she began to run, and took a turn into he first back alley she could see. Now she was sure that somebody was following her, because she slightly could hear footsteps behind her. She stopped, and heard he footsteps stop too. She smiled as she stopped. Whoever you are, you're good… but not good enough! Misaka thought, as she quicker than he human eye could see, ran a couple meters around some turns in the alley, and then used her magnetism to climb up on a wall like a spider. Misaka waited for a couple seconds before a person came running. They stopped only a couple meters from where Misaka was hanging.
It looked around for a couple seconds, confused of where Misaka was. However, right as Misaka was about to make a move, a powerful force pushed her down from her hiding place, and made her smash right into the ground. Dust and dirt got kicked up into the air, making Misaka cough. She looked up, as another person appeared beside the other guy. Misaka could see their faces clearly now. One of them was a very short girl with blonde pigtails. She wore a weird and very detailed red, black and white dress, and her eyes were red as well. She had a worrying smile on her face, and her eyes for some reason looked really interested at Misaka. The other one was a tall big man who wore a completely black outfit with a hood on the top which covered his bald head. His eyes for some reason looked really pissed of, and everything about his face looked either scary of careless. You sure that's her? The little girl asked with a childish voice. Why shouldn't it? Just look at her, she looks exactly like on the picture, the man said with a deep hoarse voice. Great! Even in this crazy world people won't leave me alone! Misaka thought, quickly standing up again. Who are you? She asked, still sounding pretty calm.
You don't need to know things like that, the man said, as a sudden wind quickly pushed he girl standing besides Misaka to fly at her at amazing speed. Misaka who didn't have any more time to think, quickly used her magnetism to pull herself out of the way, so he surprised girl flew directly into a wall, that had been behind Misaka. Misaka herself smashed into a wall, but before she got to land, some very big and powerful hands grabbed around her very tightly. Misaka still felt he pain from smashing into the wall, and decided it would be better to listen for a moment if she could get any info from he two of them, even though it probably wasn't the best time. I should get information while i can… because the last time i didn't, Misaka thought, thinking back only a few days ago when she had almost destroyed the city. Aw come on Odion, i almost had her, he little girl said, rubbing her shoulder, not even looking affected by he fact that she just smacked into a wall at full speed. Shut up Chidiri, Odion said, tightening his grip around Misaka. Even though it had only been a couple moments, Misaka began to generate electricity around her body, making Odion let go of her, as steam rose up from his hands. Ha! Who's the fool now!? Chidiri said with a smirk. Odion ignored her, as the blew the smoke rising from his hands away.
Hh, well… i guess i can't blame you. After all, you always leave the fun par to me! Chidiri yelled, as she as quick as a teleporter appeared beside Misaka with another smirk on her face. She gathered pure force into her hand, and was about to punch Misaka right in he breasts. However, Chidiri's punch was catched by Misaka, who only used one hand, and stared directly into her eyes. Chidiri stared speechless into Misaka's eyes. Misaka suddenly realised a lot of electricity into her fist, making bounce back and fall on her butt. Misaka looked at both of them. These guys aren't all that tough, i could take both of them out in a single blow if i wanted to. Even still… something isn't right, my electrical attacks should've done a lot more damage even though I'm still holding back, but none of the even have a single burn mark, which means… Misaka thought, staring closer at both of them. Plus, they both seem to be teleporters, or at least level 4 sound runners. No, i've got to get some more information first, Misaka thought, clenching her hands together into two balls, looking seriously at both of them. Suddenly, both of them nodded to each other, and then they both disappeared.
Where did they go!? Misaka thought, standing still as she waited for them to appear. Misaka waited a couple seconds and still nothing happened. What's taking them so long? Have they fled? No, there's a difference reason, but why? Misaka thought, suddenly feeling a presence right behind her. She quickly turned around and crossed her arms, right as Chidiri appeared and dropped kicked like Kuroko. Right as Misaka landed, Odion appeared and grabbed her by the neck and pushed her up against the wall. Misaka struggled to breathe, but even so began to charge with electricity almost instantly again. Odion let go of her and jumped back so he stood beside Chidiri. Misaka fell to the ground and put her hands on her neck, happy to get her breath back. I must say… it's amazing how this places changed you, yet still your powers just like how it was before the experiment, Chidiri said with a smile. ! . You were there!? Misaka yelled, surprised still sitting on her knees. Well not exactly, but we heard all about you over the news afterwards, and shortly after our boss called and gave us instructions to follow you here, Chidiri said. You mean you're not from here? Misaka asked, as she slowly began to stand up again.
No, unfortunately we're from Academy city just like you. I must say… it's amazing how well and stable this reality is, considering what state you've just been in, Chidiri said again. ! . What do you mean by that? Misaka asked. What is this place anyway? Misaka asked, not sounding worried like this was just nothing. Hh, you mean you seriously haven't figured it out yet? Chidiri said, sounding annoyed. Misaka just stared confused at her. Hhh, well so much for that, Chidiri said still sounding annoyed. Now now Chidiri, don't forget our main objective, Odion said. Yeah i know, even so, she clearly has no clue of what going on, Chidiri said looking at Misaka who was just confused. What are they talking about? Misaka thought, staring confused at the two completely different persons. I really have no clue of where I am, Misaka muttered, sounding annoyed. Chidiri suddenly smiled to Misaka. Not a very sweet little girl smile, but actually a very frightening smile. You really have no idea of what's going on in Academy city, do you? Do you even know what you are to the city? Chidiri asked, with her frightening smile.
Misaka didn't answer her. Chidiri's smile began to get more normal. Well… this place has actually always been here. It's a world really close to the one which you know, yet still it's different, Chidiri said, as she teleported up right beside Misaka, without looking at her. And what's more... all of this is inside your head, Chidiri said. ! . Misaka looked at her. Man, I'm an idiot! Misaka thought. This place.. it's similarities to Academy city… this is my personal reality! Misaka said. Took you long enough, Chidiri said, teleporting up beside Odion who hadn't said anything for a while. But what am i doing here? People don't just go into their personal realities, they don't even think this hardly about every little detail like in this place… and how can this be inside my head? I can still feel the pain, and I have been here for an awfully lot of time already, Misaka said. That's true… but that's got nothing to do with with he reason of why we've come here, Chidiri said, smiling again. Yeah, that's right: You really have no idea of what's going on in Academy city, do you? Do you even know what you are to the city? What did she mean by that? Misaka thought, staring at the little girl again. As my loudmouthed teammate has already told you, it's our master who sent us here, Odion said. What do you mean by "loudmouthed teammate"!? Chidiri said, clearly not liking the nickname. Odion ignored her. Try to think about it…
In your world there are only seven level 5s right? Well, from what we know, most of them were borned level 5s, 4s or 3s and then eventually became stronger. Ask any scientist in the entire city, and they'd say doing anything more than that is completely impossible. Try to imagine their surprise when a girl at the age of 12 reached level 5, after going all the way from level 1. This of course led to a lot of recalculations, but even still nobody's been able to find an answer of how this is possible, Odion said. Misaka clenched her fistis. Even so, that still doesn't explain why you guys are here in the first place, and how you even are here, Misaka said. Well, we're here because our master send us, Chidiri said, cutting in. Odion looked annoyed at her, but then turned his attention to Misaka again. You already know what things are going on under the surface of Academy city, but even so, even that isn't even half of what is really going on, Odion said. Chidiri smiled again. Down in the underworld you have the nickname "The strongest" because of what you're capable of, and have done, Chidiri said. Wouldn't it make more sense to give a nickname to somebody like Accelerator? Misaka asked a little after. Technically yes, but even though he's proven himself to be the city's strongest esper, people like us don't really think of him like the monster you have inside of your mind, Chidiri said.
People are seriously starting to develop a certain interest in you, just so you know. Even here in this place where a power like yours is unknown people already plan on using you, Chidiri said. Misaka didn't answer. Of course she knew people wanted to use her, she was this city's third strongest level 5 after all. Yet still, something about what Chidiri and Odion said seemed wrong, Misaka just couldn't lay her finger on it. You might not believe this yourself… but, you've only just scratched to surface of what your power is truly capable of, Odion said. ! . Misaka stared at both of them without saying anything. What do you mean by "only scratched it's surface"? Misaka asked. Chidiri smiled. You see… that's where it gets interesting, especially now that your power's connected to this city's sixth ranked level 5, she said, with a smile. Power like that isn't something you'd be able to see… even so, you've somehow managed to make something impossible happen once again, Chidiri said. Right as she said that, Odion teleported, up behind Misaka's tiny body again. Misaka quickly turned around again, but Chidiri was quick and was quickly behind Misaka again. And then… Chidiri slightly touched Misaka's back, as a green light appeared for a couple seconds. Misaka felt all of her strength leave her body, as she fell to he ground unable to move or talk.
Chidiri smiled. Well that was more complicated than i had expected, she said, looking at Misaka. Her vision began to get blurry, and Odion said something she didn't understand. Why do i feel to tired? Misaka tiredly thought, as the eyes began to feel heavy. I.. can't, Misaka thought, as her eyes closed completely and everything got black. But even so… right before she fell asleep, she felt like she heard a different voice. It for some reason sounded familiar, but Misaka was too tired to think about who he voice belonged to.
(Ok, it's been a long time now, but let's go back to H-E-A-V-E-N C-A-N-C-E-L-L-E-R)
The gekota faced doktor stared at Misaka's unconscious body. She had been like that since she had arrived to the hospital, and for some reason nothing seemed to help "wake her up". He looked at her for a couple more seconds before the left his room and went back to his office. As soon as he got there, the took out his phone and typed a certain number. Well, look who's decided to call, he voice in he other end said. It's you isn't it? Heaven canceller said. Hm? What are you accusing me for now? The voice asked, trying to sound innocent. I know you're he reason she won't wake up, Heaven canceller said. Well dear doktor, whoever are you talking about? The voice asked. Shut up you! I know you know who I'm talking about, and you're keeping her mind locked, Heaven canceller said with a strict and little bit angry voice. Ah! You're talking about the Railgun are you? Well, i guess it might be possible that it's my fault she's been sleeping for a long time… even so, what are you going to do about it? The voice asked. There was silence for a couple seconds before Heaven canceller answered. I'm asking you to realise her. She's just been through the trauma of almost destroying half he city and killing all of her friends. I still don't understand your motives, but keep my patients out of it! Heaven canceller said. Hm, and what if i don't do as you say? Then what will you do? The voice asked. There was silence. See, i know you way too good Heaven canceller. You would never be able to take a life, even if it was me, the voice said.
(Back in Misaka's head)
Misaka slowly opened her eyes, but then remembered what had just happened, and instantly opened her eyes. She was still a kid, but she sitting up against a wall to her surprise. And right in front of her, was somebody. The vision was still a little blurry, but it soon got sharper. !. Misaka stared at her "rescuer". The was a lot higher than her, really skinny, had white hair and blood red eyes. His skin was as pale as ever, and the wore a black and white striped shirt. Accelerator!? Misaka thought. What's the doing here!? She thought with a shivering voice. ! . Suddenly she remembered. Wait, if i'm inside of my personal reality, he might not even know who i am, Misaka thought, staring at him. Accelerator noticed she had woken up and, then stared into her eyes with a dead look. A shiver ran down Misaka's spine, as memories of those red eyes came back to her, but of course she didn't say that. Suddenly Accelerator's facial expression turned confused. Have we met before? He asked with his usual careless voice. No… i don't think so, Misaka said, trying not to make her voice shiver. They were both silent for a little while. I don't know what it is… but there's something about you that for some reason seems familiar to me(XD).
Misaka didn't know how to answer. Who were those guys, who tried to kidnap you? Accelerator asked. Misaka stared confused at him before answering. I...I don't know, she answered, looking into he ground. Her heart was beating really fast right now. Seems like he doesn't know me… what a relief, Misaka thought, letting out a relieved sigh. Get up, Accelerator said, as the began to walk away. Misaka didn't complain, even though her entire body was asleep. She forced herself to stand up, and slowly began to follow Accelerator. For a while they walked in silence, until Accelerator broke the silence. Why were those people from earlier after you? Accelerator asked. Um… Misaka didn't know what to answer. Should i tell him I'm really a level 5? Misaka thought. Well… you see… it's a long story, Misaka said. Well that sure answers a lot, Accelerator said sarcastically. Misaka was sweating. She knew what kind of power Accelerator had, and she never wanted to cross paths with him again. Yet still, here she was, talking with the one person who killed over 10.000 of her sisters. Right as Misaka was about to answer, she began to freeze. Not just freeze, she almost shivered, even though it was only fall. Her face began to turn red, and she began to get a headache. Suddenly, she lost balance and fell forwards towards the ground. To her surprise, something or someone caught her right before she hit the ground.
