zachycards: Hello fellow reader, well here it is, the final chapter of A Pair Of Certain Scientific Railgun Aces. Here is the disclaimer, I don't own anything in this fanfic, except for me and my oc. I don't own A Certain Scientific Railgun. It does belong to, and it will always belong to Kazuma Kamachi and Motoi Fuyukawa. So, now that the disclaimer is out of the way, let us now move on to the final chapter.
Chapter 29: Of Bygone Days And Equivalent Exchanges
Several months had now passed since Misaka and I had performed our violin duet at the school's festival, and a whole lot of events had happened to us since then. And while Misaka and Kuroko were both asleep, I was busy sitting up in my respective bed, holding onto one of the many arcade tokens, that Misaka and I would use for our respective railguns. But, as I held the arcade coin in my open hand, I began to reminisce about the recent events and adventures that Misaka and I had experienced over these past few months. And it was at this point, that the first of many flashbacks, began.
After we had run into Tōma, who had appeared to have trouble remembering who we were, and had vandalized a vending machine to spit out drinks to compensate for some money it had stolen from him. Kuroko arrived on the scene and, despite not being pleased over the presence of a supposed "boyfriend", felt relieved that Mikoto appeared to be back to her cheerful self and took her leave. However both of our joy was short-lived when two more Sisters, Misaka 10031, and Faith 100031 appeared before us, telling us both in private that the experiments were still ongoing. Horrified to learn more Sisters have died because of her, we both ended up yelling at Misaka 10031 and Faith 10031 for reminding us of Misaka 9982 and Faith 9982. Later, having discovered that countless other facilities have picked up the experiment, Misaka and I came to realize that our enemy was Academy City itself. Meanwhile, Accelerator recalled how he was first approached about Project Level 6 Shift. Deciding that we would need to do something drastic in order to stop the experiments, Misaka and I felt relieved that Kuroko would still perform her duty as a Judgment officer should we both be labelled criminals for doing so.
Misaka and I resolved to hack into and destroy the Tree Diagram, the supercomputer that had been responsible for the experiment's calculations, in the hope that we may have been able to stop them. Meanwhile, Tōma encountered Misaka 10032 and Faith 10032, who coercesed him into helping them look after an abandoned kitten they had found. As Tōma went into a bookstore to look for a book to help him with his own cat, Misaka 10032 and Faith 10032 went off to observe Accelerator as he began his scheduled battle with Misaka 10031 and Faith 10031. Upon our arrival at Tree Diagram's control center, hoping to hack into Tree Diagram to order a halt to the experiment, Misaka and I were confused to find it not only heavily low on security, but it had also been completely abandoned as well. Hacking into the system, we were horrified to learn the truth, which was that Tree Diagram had been destroyed for months, with the experiments continuing regardless.
Misaka and I then fell into despair, realizing that with Tree Diagram destroyed, we had absolutely no way of stopping the experiments. We then tried to cling onto our cause by mercilessly destroying another facility, but we lost all hope when we saw a live feed of Misaka 10031 and Faith 10031 being killed by Accelerator. As Accelerator reminisced about his first experiment and his first time killing a Sister, Tōma discovered Misaka 10031'a and Faith 10031's corpses and calls the Anti-Skills to investigate it, only to find them gone when they arrive, with no evidence it ever occurred. After the Anti-Skills left, Misaka 10032 and Faith 10032 appeared before Tōma, who came to learn the true nature of the Sisters. Upon learning this, Tōma headed for the Tokiwadai dorms to try to get some answers from Misaka and I, who at the same time were contemplating our last resort.
Tōma arrived at the Tokiwadai dorms, where he was reluctantly greeted by Kuroko, who decided to let him wait for both Misaka and I to return. When the Tokiwadai Dorm Supervisor came by for an inspection, Kuroko was forced to hide Tōma under Mikoto's bed due to his Imagine Breaker negating her teleportation. There, he found the details concerning Project Level 6 Shift stuffed inside a teddy bear, learning that Misaka 10032's and Faith 10032's experiment was next. Tōma then followed a trail of windmills to a bridge where he eventually found Misaka and I and confronted us both about the experiments. With all of our other efforts having failed, Misaka and I were convinced that letting ourselves be killed by Accelerator was the only way to stop the experiments, proving that we did not live up to Tree Diagram's expectations. However, Tōma, feeling our way will not save anyone, decided to stand in our way, refusing to fight back or even defend himself from our lightning. Mikoto's emotions, since I once again wanted no part of what was going on between her and Touma. But, that still didn't mean that I wasn't upset with him standing in our way of stopping the experiments, and putting more Sisters in life threatening danger. She then wound up sending a large shock wave that Tōma took the full brunt of, helping her to see his resolve. After he had regained consciousnesses and being greeted by a tearful Misaka, Tōma came up with the idea that if he as a Level 0 can defeat the Level 5 Accelerator in a fight and prove him to be actually weak, the entire basis for the experiments would fall apart. Despite Misaka and I objecting to his idea, Tōma headed off to where Misaka 10032's and Faith 10032's experiment was being held.
Despite his injuries, Tōma arrived at the site where Accelerator, Misaka 10032 and Faith 10032 were fighting and stated his firm desire to rescue the Sisters, saying that even if they were both clones, there was only one of them in the entire world. As their fight begins, Tōma initially struggled against Accelerator as he launched projectiles at him and set off a dust explosion. However, Accelerator was shocked when Tōma was able to punch him with his right hand without being affected by his ability, it also came a surprise to Misaka and I, who had also rushed to the scene. Angered, Accelerator started using his ability to manipulate the wind, creating a huge hurricane that dealt a lot of damage to Tōma. Misaka and I attempted to go with our original plan in order to save Tōma, only for both of us to realize that it would be futile upon having witnessed Accelerator use his power to create a plasma storm that could wipe out everything in the area. Realizing what had to be done to stop it, Misaka and I went over to Misaka 10032 and Faith 10032 and begged for their help in protecting Tōma's dream. Moved by our words, Misaka 10032 and Faith 10032 used the Misaka Network to command the other Sisters in Academy City to manipulate the city's windmills with their electricity, affecting the wind and disrupting Accelerator's calculations, which prevented him from stabilizing the plasma. As both Misaka and I prepared to stand off against Accelerator once more, Tōma gathered the strength to stand up.
Accelerator demanded to know why Misaka and I were protecting Misaka 10032 and Faith 10032, to which we responded that it was simply because they were our sisters. Before Accelerator could attempt to kill them, Tōma managed to regain his footing and used the remainder of his strength to knock Accelerator out with one final punch. As he lost consciousness, Accelerator came to the realization that the reason he wanted to become a Level 6 in the first place was so that he would not have to hurt anyone anymore. After the experiments were cancelled as a result of Accelerator's defeat, Misake and I went to the hospital to visit Tōma, who assured us that even though many Sisters died, it was thanks to us that they got to be born in the first place. Afterwards, Misaka and I took a walk with Misaka 10032 and Faith 10032, where we played with another pair of sisters at the playground as we thought about the future that lay ahead. The next day, Misaka borrowed Saten's kitchen to make some handmade cookies for Tōma as a thanks for his help. Despite not getting an opportunity to give them to him, Mikoto felt pleased when he finally called her by her proper name.
When we were asked by the Dorm Supervisor to explain her absences, Misaka and I bluffed that we were having study sessions with our friends. As Saten arranged a get together so she could hear who Misaka was making cookies for the other day, Kuroko came across Minori again before being dragged along by Mitsuko Kongō to a pet shop. Meanwhile, Misaka and I visited Heaven Canceller to hear about the status of the Sisters, and learned that they were being reconfigured so they would live longer than their originally intended two year lifespan. As Misaka, myself and Kuroko met up at a family restaurant, we came across Mugino and Frenda, which led to a very awkward argument, between Kuroko and Frenda over their respective partners. And when I mean awkward, I mean as in Kuroko feeling up both Misaka and my breasts, whilst Frenda did the same to Mugino, which, not surprisingly, prompted Misaka and I to send a large amount of voltage through Kuroko, seeing as how we were quite livid withe her feeling us both up in public. And Mugino, well she pretty much did the same to Frenda, except she used her Meltdowner ability on her, rather then Misaka and I having used our electricity to send quite a bit of voltage through Kuroko, in order to zap a little sense into her for her perverted behavior. After having a nabe party with everyone, Kuroko was relieved to see both Misaka and I back to our usual selves.
A mysterious organization oversaw ITEM as they fought against a group of mechs. The next day, we visited Banri, who was due to be discharged from the hospital soon and would be moving into an apartment with Erii, who would be moving out of Uiharu's apartment as a result. As we all discussed about the move, Kuroko and Uiharu revealed Judgement would be on duty for the upcoming Academy City Research Exhibition Assembly, where Academy City's top genius students would attend. Meanwhile, Kongo used her power to stop a purse thief, only to be berated by a certain man for her actions. As the group got together to celebrate Banri's dischargement, Kuroko and Uiharu were called off for Judgment duties when the city's traffic signals suddenly went out. After finishing her duties, Kazari gave a box of taiyaki to Erii, serving as a memento of when she first told Erii about her ability of temperature preservation, and the two had a tearful farewell as roommates. As we took a detour home, we came across a curious white-haired girl named Febri, who appeared to know Misaka and I. Meanwhile, the mysterious organization began their next plan to show their power against espers.
Several months later, After Uiharu had discovered that a girl by the name of Mitori had hijacked an Antiskill camera drone to help control her doppelganger, she hijacked the camera herself in order to fake Kuroko's death, allowing the real Kuroko to find Mitori hiding in the sewers and take her down. Meanwhile, Gensei Kihara had discovered too late that the input code that he had gotten from Misaki was actually the Exterior programs self-destruct code, which Misaki had tricked him into using by rewriting her own memory. With Exterior destroyed, Misaka and I regained our senses but we were still unable to stop our powers from going out of control. And it was during this entire incident, that whilst Misaka and I were not in control of our powers, that I wound up in an endless white void, faced with a shapeless being, in front of a large set of doors, and was told that not only was the shapeless being responsible for the judgment armband appearing at the restaurant, but it then wound up explaining to me about the law of equivalent exchange. By me ending up in this world, regardless of how I had ended up their. That in order to compensate for receiving a status as a level 5 esper, and being the third ranked esper in all of academy city, that of which equal value that I had to give up in exchange, wound up not only being what was going on right now, but any chance of me going back to the real world, had been lost the second that I had ended up in this world. And it was after that, that the scene around me got dark again, but not before a light blue like veiny substance, grabbed hold of me by both of my hands, and caused me to become deathly afraid.
It was when my last flashback had ended that I heard Misaka speak to me from her respective bed, "Sis, why are you still up, what are you doing?" she asked. "Oh nothing sis, just thinking about our past adventures, thats all" I said in response to Misaka. "Oh, well, if I were you, I would get to sleep, you and I have classes in the morning" Misaka said. "Oh, right sis" I said in response, as I placed the arcade coin on the nightstand next to my respective bed, and then tucked myself into my bed. And as Misaka and I drifted off to sleep, we were unaware, that what lay ahead for us, would be an adventure of a lifetime.
