(Quite spot in a unknown park)
"It makes no sense at all "Mikoto cried frustrated
She was literally going crazy
Dumping an annual event in favour of breaking into a facility to not even recieve a proper information about the clone project
Switching with her clone in the last moment before the violin performance
Running into that guy again and he acted like he doesn't know who she is. ..?
Oh she also got appreciation for the best flower arrangement for some reason
"The file said the project was stopped but then how do you explain her "Mikoto looked at 9982
"...9982"
"Eh?"
"Onee-sama she said she is Misaka 9982 then that means that there should be a Misaka 100 or Misaka 7 right "
"No they are already dead Mi[1]..."
"Dead!?"
"..." Misaka 9982 became very interested in the sky
"N-n-no Onee-sama! It's the project "
Mikoto blinked confused
"I-if the project was stopped b-but they had already produced the clones then to cover it up..."Kuroko trailed off while Mikoto froze in horror
"No Misaka assures that nothing like that happened while the Sisters Project was originally a project that intended to use us for military purposes but due to the failure of the project to cut losses, the project was suspended indefinitely, all ongoing research stopped, research teams were dissolved, and data on the project purged but the Sisters were re-used for the level-... another project"
Level...?
"ZXC741A DS852QW E963' Misaka asks for the confirmation passcode." Misaka 9982 looked away "No response Misaka can't give any information "
"Seriously ! This"
"Onee-sama please calm down "
Misaka notes that she can't provide more information about the experiment without consent form the sisters...since Misaka can't access the network anymore Mi"
"What are some sort of phone with bad signal or something"
"Yes !"
"..."
Saten smiled and skipped away and each of the girls followed right behind her. Misaka 9982 increased her speed a bit to be at Saten's side
"You seem to be in a good mood Mi." Misaka commented"Is there something else about this meeting with Uiharu that we can look forward to ? Mi"
"Hmmm, well," Saten trailed off, joyfully turning around to look at her friends. "I guess I'll go ahead and tell you guys so you can be prepared."
As they continued walking, she explained the exciting news. It left them shocked for a few moments until Misaka spoke up first.
"A new roommate?" Misaka repeated. When Saten hummed, she continued on. "Who also happens to be a new transfer student from District 19?"
"Correct!"
Confusion grew on Misaka's face as she turned to Shirai. "That's strange…" She mumbled.
"Yeah, especially since it's in the middle of the term." Shirai added. "Transfers normally come in at the start of the year or the beginning of the term."
"Meaning she probably had a logical reason to transfer. Or the school board gave her a special exception." Misaka replied " It seems like this scenario may not happen too often, but it's possible to have a roommate transferred to a completely different school in the middle of the semester ...Misaka wonders if it s also allowed to have Kittens as roomates"
"..." Mikoto stared with an annoyed look on her face as she crossed her arms. "Right they don 't allow pets in the drome."
Shirai let out a nervous laugh when she saw some electricity spark from Mikoto's hair.
She turned to look at Saten, who was downright bursting at the seams with joy. "What has gotten into you Saten?" She asked. "You seem to be pretty excited for this."
"Of course, I am! Uiharu's getting a new roommate, automatically making her my friend too!"
Before Saten could continue, Uiharu shouted her name from afar. As she waved, they each saw a girl standing beside her they assumed was her new roommate. She had short brown hair, brown eyes, and was around Uiharu's height, maybe just a tad bit taller.
She seemed a little anxious at first. Uiharu guided them to the front door of their dorm and started introductions.
"Okay so," Uiharu began as she gestured over to her roommate's direction. "Everyone, this is my new roommate, Haruue Erii." She turned and gestured over to the other 4 girls. "Haruue, these are my friends. On the right is Shirai Kuroko. Then next to her are Misaka Mikoto and her sister Misaka...Yuko Those three go to Tokiwadai Middle School and she is Saten Ruiko, who's actually in our class at Sakugawa."
"Hello!" Saten, Misaka(both ) and Shirai said simultaneously
Haruue bowed. "Nice to meet everyone."
"Same here." Saten said. A confused smile came on her face when she glanced down at the large stack of packages in front of them. "Mind telling us why your stuff is just sitting out here?"
Uiharu let out a nervous laugh. She explained to them how she hadn't planned for the movers to beat her here before she picked up Haruue at the train station. They must have grown tired of waiting for her to come back and just left the boxes here for them to move in themselves sadly.
They were about to come up with an idea until Shirai stepped up and easily teleported the objects inside.
For the first time since they were there, Haruue perked up and let out a surprised gasp.
"Wow!" She marveled as they walked inside and saw the stack of boxes in the middle of the room. "I've never seen an esper with a teleporting ability before."
"Heh, well…" Shirai began with a prideful smile. "It's not surprising. Not to sound immodest, but there's hardly any teleporters with my kind of power, even within Academy City."
A small while later...
It didn't take them long to put all of Haruue's belongings away. They all let out sighs of relief when they were finished the last box and put it into the scrap pile.
"That should be the last one." She said, wiping the sweat from her brow. "Great work everyone."
"Yeah, thank you." Haruue anxiously said, bowing again. "This would have taken much longer without you all here. So, I'm grateful for your help."
"It's no problem." Mikoto said with a bright smile as she put her hands on her hips. "It seems we got done earlier than expected. I'd say now is a perfect time to go have some fun and show Haruue around the city."
"I agree!" Uiharu cheered, missing the look of surprise come over Shirai's face.
"You shouldn't get too excited, Uiharu." Shirai said as she crossed her arms. "Did you already forget that we have to attend that joint conference today?"
Uiharu opened her mouth in shock as everyone else stood there, confused.
"Joint conference?" Saten mumbled across the room. "For what?"
"Judgment and Anti-Skill have a meeting together this afternoon. Most likely to discuss the recent earthquake incidents parts of Academy City have been experiencing." Shirai explained.
"Really?" Mikoto asked in shock, narrowing her eyes when Shirai nodded her head.
This left her a little bit on edge. She had believed that the earthquake from last night was just a random occurrence. To hear that it could be tied to a recent string of them left her wondering even more if that's possibly what has been bothering Asher recently, last night especially.
She hadn't even confronted the gravity esper about it just yet. Due to her usually being a heavy sleeper, she was able to quietly slip out of her room before either she or Shirai had awakened. She must have not remembered anything last night, so there was no use in putting even more stress on her. She could tell that it was starting to wear her down.
She tried her best to mask these rushing thoughts on her face. However, Asher was already able to notice that something was up, seeing how tense she got in just a few seconds all the way from where she stood.
She was about to walk over and bring it up before her attention was drawn over to Saten when she heard her say her name.
"Well, while you two are at the conference, Mikoto, Yūko, and I can go ahead and show Haruue around." Saten suggested.
Everyone but Uiharu seemed to be okay with that, the girl in question looking over at her friend in complete dismay.
"But Saten!" She cried.
Saten sent her a reassuring smile. "It'll be fine, Uiharu. We'll meet back up with you guys when you're done."
Uiharu frowned even more before she let out a sigh. She sent Haruue a hesitant smile. "Don't worry. Saten can be a little too much to handle at times. But Misaka's nice and I promise, Shirai and I will join you as soon as we're done."
"What, too much to handle?" Saten repeated in confusion. "What is that supposed to mean?"
"Ah I have to go bye!" Uiharu left without explaining
"Soooo," Saten hummed as she skipped down the stairs. "Any ideas on where we should go?"
"Your choice, Haruue." Misaka chimed in, seeing the girl in question look over at her in surprise.
"Me?" Haruue mumbled.
"Uh-huh, you're our honored guest. Is there anywhere special you want to go?"
"Well, hmmmm," Haruue thought for a moment. "I honestly don't know. I think I'm too unfamiliar with this district to really say or know a place we could go to."
"Oh true."
"Misaka doesn't really have a specific place in mind. Although, Misaka is up for going to get something sweet to eat Mi"
Her answer may have been well childish, but her friends didn't seem to really mind. It even led to Saten coming up with a great idea.
She proposed that they go back to the crepe stand they had ate at the first time her and Uiharu had hung out with them and Shirai.
"This is starting to become a place where friendships are made!" Saten said aloud as each of the girls enjoyed their crepes.
"Friendship..." Misaka 9982 repeated curiously
"You like it?" Saten asked, hearing Haruue hum in response. "Good! Though, you got a little bit of cream on your face…"
As Saten grabbed a napkin and handed it to Haruue, Misaka looked down at her crepe somewhat sadly. "It sucks that the others weren't able to come with us." She mumbled.
"It makes me wonder." Mikoto said aloud "What's happening that both Judgment and Anti-Skill need to be involved? I know Kuroko said it was about earthquakes that have been reportedly happening recently, but there must be more to it than that."
"Well, I didn't want to really get into it earlier." Saten began, . "But there's actually been a rumor going around about these so-called earthquakes. For one thing, people have started to call them Poltergeists."
"Poltergeists? You're joking right" Mikoto deadpanned.
"No really, it's true! I couldn't make this up!" Saten passionately shouted.
"So what? Furniture has been moving on its own like in some horror movie?" Mikoto asked sarcasticly
"Exactly! Well, minus the horror movie part." Saten refuted. "There have been no reported P waves or S waves. So, it was totally some kind of paranormal phenomenon, guys!"
"What would be the cause of this…paranormal event as you call it?"
"It has to be a pulse from an alternate dimension or a planet that's never been discovered before now. OH! It could even be some kind of underground experiment that the government has tried to hide up until now and someone decided to leak it to the public!" Saten explained, causing both Misaka and Mikoto to sweatdrop.
Underground experiments Mikoto had enough problems with one of those involving her clones
'Wait that's right I forgot to ask Uruharu about the code' Mikoto suddenly remembered before sighing
Saten quickly dug into her pocket and brought out her phone to show the forums that had cryptic ideas of when the next earthquake would come.
"See?" She said, looking over at Haruue. "Aren't you from District 19, Haruue?" When Haruue nodded, more interest and excitement lit her gaze. "I heard there were several outbreaks of poltergeisting over there. Can you tell me what it was like?"
"T-that's..."
few minutes later…
The Railgang was able to regroup at a well-known arcade located within the heart of the 7th District. Everyone other than Haruue was well-acquainted with this place, the Level 5 Railgun especially.
Misaka would often on come here to restock on her arsenal of coins for her railgun shots. She tended to bring Kuroko along to lessen any suspicion.
Although this time around she wasn't really too focused on the game
Underground experiments...She didn't considere that possibility before...were the sisters project still going on hidden and covered up and 9982 said that the clones were dead why?
GAME OVER
After that she stared at the screen for a prolonged period of time, no matter how hard her brain tried to figure it out, though, it never came up with answers. It wasn't helping that her heart was beating erratically,
'Why am I feeling so uneasy '
Mikoto suddenly felt a hard poke in her side. She winced and grimaced, sending an annoyed look at the culprit right next to her.
"Oww." Mikoto groaned, rubbing her side. "Did you really have to poke me that hard? Jeez…"
"Sorry, but Misaka had ehausted all of her options." Misaka shrugged. "Onee-sama completely zoned out."
Some surprise grew on Mikoto's face. "I did?"
"Yep." Shirai said a few feet away from her. "You probably had one of the blankest looks I've seen from you in a while."
"Yuko and Shirai tried calling your name a dozen times, and you didn't look at them. Misaka even snapped her fingers near your ear and waved her hand in your face and you didn't even flinch." Saten remarked as she raised up two fingers. "That's the third time in the past hour someone has caught you zoning out into oblivion."
"..."
8991tried to run away but Accelerator stomped the ground. Using his powers, he forced the momentum to increase it's radius and impact massively
8991 cried out pain as she fell and a bit of the rubble got caught on her foot
Oh c'mon if that's all you got then this fight will be boring!"
Accelerator was indeed toying with her. Slowly turning around the corner he blocked a quick shot of electricity
" you really are too boring tch not even worth killing!"
"M-misaka requests to not deviate from the experiment Misaka reminds that you must kill
Seriously, after doing this ten thousand times, a guy gets bored, so I was just thinking we could kill a little time or something, but I guess not. You're impossible to talk to, you know that?" he groaned "Whatever just die"
squlech!
he put the girl out of her misery
?
!
!
"Another death..."
"Again..."
"which one..."
"Misaka...where is..." Misaka 8992 tried to make sense of her situation she had died but then ..
" №¡‽"
Pain filled every part of her body while her mind reeled from the overflowing emotions into her
There was no one to hear her screams
[1] a verbal tic which stands for misaka ,left over from 9982's old way of speaking
A/N sorry for taking so long to update I was kind of busy with my exams
Let's start by saying this story is going to get really dark fast
Here is few things you can expect(no spoilers)
* There will be deaths of main characters
* A lot of suffering for Misaka 9982
* The truth of Misaka9982's state and powers will be revealed
* No Misaka 9982 is not Subaru's or Stella's reincarnation or anything she only possesses the Authority of Envy(I guess it was pretty obvious from the start of this story)
* The Accelerator will be getting his karma
