Kanzaki will be added to his harem, but the first three ladies in charge will be Misaki, Itsuwa, and Othinus. Misaki will be the leader of the harem, of course since she is the Queen Bee. Author's Note below.


After finding Kiyama's current location, the three-headed out to where she was. They probably weren't the only one's looking for her either. Anti-Skill was probably on their way to scene or already there.

"I can't believe it was Kiyama-san that created the Level Upper the whole time." Index says sadly.

Enshū frowned, "She's a good manipulator. Acting as though she had no idea about the Level Upper and it's capabilities when the whole time she was the one that created it, to begin with."

True she has them fooled, but Kamijō could tell that deep down she knows that her actions are wrong, but can't afford to stop now. After reading her background...it's no wonder she created the Level Upper.

Leaning in the backseat of a taxi car that they called, Kamijō expressed his own thoughts.

"In her mind, she knows that what she did was wrong, but...at the same time she believes this is the only way to save what she holds dear." He said.

She probably tried to find another solution, too. But knowing the higher-ups of Academy City they rejected whatever proposal she had in mind.

That might have been the final breaking point.

After that, she no longer had anything to lose. Hence, the Level Upper was created.

"Even so...she still needs to be stopped." Enshū declares.

Smiling, he puts a hand on top of her head, "That's right!"

"We'll stop Kiyama-san!" Index also declared.

*BOOM*

The car came to a sudden stop once an explosion was heard. Looks like they found Kiyama-sensei, and from that level of explosion, she must be fighting someone.

"Thanks for the ride, and keep the change! You might wanna get out of here, too!" Kamijō tells the driver, ignoring the man's questions as he and the other two got out of the car.

"Is she fighting someone?!" Index questioned.

"That would be my guess!" Kamijō answered.

The gate entrance to the bridge was already open, making it easy for them to get through. Once they made it to the top...what they saw can be best described as a massacre. Anti-Skill had been completely wiped out, and half the bridge was collapsed.

"What happened here…?" Index said, looking worried.

Kamijō looked at the downed officers and saw Yomikawa-sensei was among them. As he was about to run over to her, the sound of electricity got his attention.

"Electricity? Could it be Railgun?" Enshū inquires to herself.

"Railgun?" Index said.

"That's Mikoto Misaka's title. Known as "The Railgun of Tokiwadai." Kamijō explains to her, "She must be fighting Kiyama-sensei."

"Do we help her?" Index asked him.

He shook his head, "Don't worry about her, she's a Level 5 and can handle her own in a fight." Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Enshū walking over toward half the street bridge, "Enshū?"

"I...Kiyama-sensei suffered on the count of my previous family's lack of humanity. I'm going down there to talk to her." Enshū resolved. While she was no longer considered a Kihara, there was still the feeling of guilt in her chest that refused to be uplifted.

Kamijō wanted to tell her that her family's sins were not her own, but knew the girl was stubborn and wouldn't listen. Instead of telling her otherwise, he dies something else.

"All right! Go down and talk to Kiyama-sensei, but be careful." He tells her.

"I will." With a nod, she jumps down.

Index then looks over at the blue car and sees someone, "Tōma, there's a person inside that car!"

"What?!" The two run over and indeed do see a person inside. It was a young girl who looked like a middle schooler, with a flower crown on her head.

He messed with the car door a little and noticed it was unlocked. Opening it, he shakes the girl, "Hey, wake up!"

The girl groaned and finally opened her eyes. She blinked a few times in order to see clearly and gasped slightly as she saw Kamijō and Index in her field of vision.

"Wait, you're…" Uiharu starts to say.

"Are you okay?" Kamijō asks.

Feeling the fog in her head clear up, she carefully steps out of the car, with the help of Kamijō.

"Yeah, I think I'm okay…" She said.

Uiharu looks at the carnage around them, "Half the streets been blown away…"

"That was probably Kiyama-sensei's work. Same thing with Anti-Skill." Kamijō said.

Uiharu snaps her head in his direction, "That's right, where is she?!"

"Down there with Misaka and my sister. We just got here." He said.

As if proving his point, they all hear a groan and go over towards the edge. They looked down and saw Misaka, Kiyama Harumi, and Enshū.

Misaka was startled when she saw that guy's sister come out of nowhere.

"Wha—What are you doing here?!" She demands.

Enshū just looks at her before turning her attention back over to Kiyama.

"Kiyama-sensei...what happened to the children wasn't your fault."

Uiharu and Misaka's eyes widen at her words. Kiyama meanwhile let out a bitter laugh, "How do you figure? I had a hand in it just as much as they did."

Enshū was about to say something, but Misaka cut her off.

"What...what were they doing?"

Misaka questioned.

Kiyama slowly stood up, wobbling a little but managed to keep her balance, "On the record or off of it? Officially, it was designed as a test into controlling AIM Diffusion Fields, but...the real study was on the effects of pushing an ability beyond its natural limit."

Misaka was speechless.

"They overstimulated the children's AIM Diffusion Fields in order to study runaway abilities first hand." Kiyama confessed.

"Then…" Misaka said.

"They were intentionally manipulated to run out of control…" Kiyama grit her teeth, clutching the front of her head, "But I didn't realize what was going on until after it happened!"

Enshū and Kamijō were beyond angry, but then again...tragedy always strikes when a Kihara is involved in anything related to science.

"Experiments...on the children…?" Misaka couldn't believe her ears. How could Academy City allow something like this to happen?!

"Innocent little kids...and even after all this time, they still haven't woken up." Kiyama reveals turning to face them with tears in her eyes, "We stole their youth from them and for what?! To turn them into lab rats?!"

Kamijō runs down there, with Index and Uiharu running after him.

"But, if something that terrible happened, why didn't you report it to Anti-Skill?" Misaka questioned.

"That wouldn't have worked." Enshū said, getting Misaka's attention, "Anti-Skill wouldn't have been able to do anything. They follow the orders of Academy City, so if they were told not to immobilize...they would follow that order."

Misaka was about to say something, but kept her mouth shut.

"23 times."

"Huh?"

Kiyama elaborates "That's how many times I requested to use Tree Diagram. If I could just get access to it, I could use it to find a way to retrieve them. I could run some simulations to uncover the true cause of the accident. Tree Diagram is the greatest super computer in Academy City, if I had it, I could have brought those children back...I could have set them free to laugh, run, and play in the park like children are supposed to…"

"I was always turned down! 23 times they said, "no!" Don't you get it?! The Board of Directors was in on it! Like that girl said, there's no way Anti-Skill would act!" As dark as the truth is...it's still the truth.

"There must've been a better solution than this!" Misaka protests.

"WHAT WOULD YOU KNOW?!" Kiyama screamed at her.

Misaka took a step back.

"I would do anything to save them. Anything in the entire world! The whole city can hate and revile me, I don't care! I'm not going to let anything stop me now!" Kiyama declared before feeling a painful stab through the head, causing her to cry out in pain.

"Hey, what's wrong…?" Misaka asked out of concern.

Enshū was worried, 'Is it the network?'

Kiyama has both hands on each side of her head, "The network...its out of control…" that's all she said before falling forward, but Enshū was able to catch her before she could hit the ground.

"What just happened?!" Misaka questioned.

Her answer came in the form of something coming out the back of Kiyama's head. The strange entity took the form of a giant levitating fetus with a halo upon its head and tentacles-like green wings, its body was bluish in color and was covered in a nearly transparent brown layer.

Misaka could only stare in disbelief, and slight fear at the unknown entity that reared its ugly head from Kiyama's head.

Enshū was just as shocked.

Kamijō, Index, and Uiharu finally make it down to then and stopped once they saw the strange thing.

"Oh, gosh, what's that?" Uiharu stares.

Index eyes widened, "It...it looks like an Angel…"

Uiharu turns to her, "Angel?"

"Something tells me that's not an Angel…" Kamijō comments.

Misaka gulped, "A fetus…" she said, still staring at the unknown creature

The fetus opens its eyes, freaking everyone out even more.

It let out a shrill shriek that chilled them to the bone. Such a horrible sound, it was almost heartbreaking! As it wailed even louder, it caused some rubble to fly at Misaka and the others. Misaka used her electrical powers to protect herself, while Kamijō grabs the two girls and hides them behind a support beam.

Misaka tried attacking it with her electricity, but that proved to be useless as it regenerated, two long arms sprouting from its back where she hit it. But not only did the creature grow two extra limbs, but grew in size.

"Damn, it's getting bigger!" She curses.

Index peeks her head out to look at the creature once more, "That creature...just what is it?"

"Honestly? I have no idea." Kamijō was unsure what the hell this creature was, but that doesn't matter right now.

The creatures begins to throw ice shards at Misaka, who dodges while running away at the same time.

"Hurry, Misaka!" Uiharu urges her to hurry over to them.

"Why are you here, Uiharu?! The same goes for you two guys, too!" Misaka yells at Kamijō and Index. She stops running and turns back, destroying the icicles the creature sent her way.

Enshū was protecting Kiyama from getting hurt, as she shielded the woman.

Misaka pants a little before addressing Uiharu, "Are you okay, Uiharu?"

Uiharu comes out of hiding a little, "Yes, I'm fine—"

"You're lucky! You shouldn't have come down here! And you," She said, addressing Kamijō this time, "How could you let her come down here!"

"Wait, Misaka—" Uiharu starts to defend Kamijō.

"She wasn't in any danger, I wasn't going to let anything happen to her." Kamijō promised, "Besides, dealing with whatever that thing is takes first priority."

Misaka looked like she wanted to say something, but decided that he was right and was about to attack the creature again, but stopped.

Index saw it just hovering around, "What's wrong with it now?"

"A random rampage?" Misaka guesses blindly.

All of them watched as the creature moved its arms around, while still wailing. Almost as if…

"Look at it, the way it's moving...almost like it's in pain or something." Uiharu stares in sympathy.

Index looks sadly at the creature, "It is in pain…"

Enshū felt Kiyama begin to stir in her arms.

"Are you okay, Kiyama-sensei?" She asked in a worried tone.

Kiyama didn't say anything at first, still trying to fully wake up and comprehend just what happened.

Back up on the destroyed street, Yomikawa and a few other Anti-Skill officers saw the creature grow in size. Tessō looked up at the creature with pure fear in her eyes.

Yomikawa grit her teeth, "We'll have to do what we can with the men we have left! Use of live ammo is authorized! Fire!"

The few members of Anti-Skill began to pelt the creature with bullets in hopes of stopping it somehow, but this proved to be a failure. As the more they shot and injured it, the bigger it grew.

Down below the street, Kiyama laughs as Enshū helps her stand on her feet. The researcher leaned against the support beam for support, her back resting against it.

"How incredible, who would have thought something like that could ever be created?" She said, humorously as he eyes the creature that was now hovering above the street, "I can just imagine the recognition I'll get for this."

"Kiyama-sensei…" Enshū said, softly.

"The network is utterly out of my hands at this point. That's it, I no longer have any hope in bringing back those children I helped to destroy…" she closes her eyes sadly as she says this, "They're lost forever."

"Please, you can't give up!" Uiharu tells her.

Kiyama was surprised to see the girl say this to her. She was even more surprised when Enshū grabbed the woman's wrist, as though encouraging her not to give up.

"Those children can still be saved, so don't give up, Kiyama-sensei." Kamijō speaks up.

"Please don't just throw in the towel like this! You can still help them!" Index said, trying to encourage her.

'Such strange children.' She thinks to herself, not sure why they were going out of their way to say this.

"Is that an AIM Diffusion Field?" Misaka asked.

"It's most likely a collection of them, yes, that's it. Although I think it would be more appropriate to call it an AIM Burst. The AIM Diffusion Fields of 10,000 people all bundled up together in the Level Upper network. They acted as the catalyst to bring to life the monster of latent consciousness. Simply stated, that thing up there is a collection of 10,000 children's thoughts."

The AIM creature once again shrieked, growing bigger as it did so.

"In a way, I pity it." Uiharu sadly says.

Misaka frowned, turning her attention over to Kiyama, "What now? How do we go about stopping it?"

"Are you seriously asking me that question? Makes no difference what I say because you'll never trust me." Kiyama said, bitterly.

Suddenly, a hand was in her face, much to her confusion. She turns to Uiharu, who gives her a firm expression.

"What about this? You're the one who took my handcuffs off aren't you?" Uiharu questions her.

Kiyama looks away, "That still doesn't mean anything. You can't possibly trust me just because of that."

To her surprise again, Uiharu stood before her this time.

"That's not all," Uiharu says before proceeding to look at her with a smile, "I know you're sincere about wanting to help bring those children back. I can hear it in your voice. I trust you."

At that moment, Uiharu's face was replaced by the little girl from Kiyama's memories.

"I completely trust you, sensei!"

Kiyama's eyes widen.

"Flower girl's right," Index steps in, "You're a very kind person in spite of creating the Level Upper and putting those who used it into a coma."

"Index is right. You are a kind person." Kamijō agreed with the nun.

"It's okay to ask for help." Enshū said, "And don't worry, because onii-chan will be able to do something about it."

Misaka and Uiharu understood that she was talking about her brothers ability. Misaka's already seen it first hand, as has Uiharu, but she doesn't fully understand it.

Kamijō stands before Kiyama, determined, "I can hold it off while you figure out how to stop it."

Kiyama stares into his determined eyes before looking down, "There might be a way."

Misaka and Uiharu listen.

"Think about it, the AIM Burst is a monster created by the Level Upper network. If the network were brought down somehow...it might stop it." Kiyama theorizes.

Uiharu takes something out of her skirt pocket, "The Level Upper treatment program!"

"It might not work, but it's a shot at least." Kiyama said.

Uiharu looks hopeful.

"That's a gamble we'll have to take," Kamijō said, "Flower Girl can work in the program, Enshū make sure nothing happens to her."

"Okay."

"Index, stay with Kiyama-sensei." He didn't want to risk her getting hurt in any way. Staying with Kiyama should keep her safe and out of harm's way.

"I'll keep Kiyama-sensei safe!" Index declared.

Misaka gives her a look, "You?"

Index frowns at her, "What are you trying to say, Short Hair?!"

Uiharu sweat-drops, "Short Hair…?"

"Not important. Me and Misaka will handle that thing. Anti-Skill won't last long." Kamijō said, sounding worried about them.

Misaka didn't try to dissuade him, "While we're doing that, you get that program to Anti-Skill." She said to Uiharu.

Uiharu looks determined as she grips the chip tightly in her grasp, "Let's do it!"

Nodding, they all get to work. Index stays with Kiyama, who stands there looking bewildered. Where do these children get their confidence from?

"Incredible, there are still people out there who are willing to trust without any reason to." She said with a smile.

"That's because you're a person worth trusting." Index tells her in an honest tone.

Back with Anti-Skill, the monster had just sent Yomikawa flying.

"Captain!" Tessō cried out in worry. Her attention wasn't on her fallen captain for long as the creatures tentacle came towards her, "N-No...s-stay away...her away!" She yelled, shooting at it with her eyes closed. Her rifle stops shooting and she opens her eyes to realize she no longer has any ammo left.

The tentacle regenerates, this time sprouting an eyeball with small hands attached to it.

Tessō could only stand there and quake in fear. As it comes close to touching her, she's grabbed out of the way by Kamijō, while Misaka electrocutes the tentacle.

"What were you just there for? That monster could have killed you!" Misaka scolds the woman.

"Are you okay, Tessō-san?" Kamijō asks as he gently sets her down.

"Y-Yes...eh, w-wait—is that you Kamijō-kun?!" Tessō exclaimed.

"Yeah, it's been awhile." He said, nervously.

Tessō was about to say something else, but then noticed Misaka, "Wh-Who are you? A civilian shouldn't be here, it's too dangerous!"

Sighing, Misaka puts her hands on her hips, "Geez, everybody just has to keep calling me a civilian, it's starting to get old. And how come you don't say that to him?" She gestures over to Kamijō

His response was to simply blink.

"You shouldn't be here either, Kamijō-kun! But it's pointless to say that to you." She sighs.

"That seems to be a theme with me." He admits.

"And as for you, you should get away from here right now—ah!" Kamijō grabs her and once again moves her out of harm's way. Misaka shocks the tentacle again.

"You're the one who should get going," Misaka says to Tessō, "That thing won't come this way unless you provoke it with more shooting."

"Even so...we can't just stand down and do nothing, either." Yomikawa grunts, still in pain after being knocked back earlier.

She points behind the creature, "You see that over there? That's an experimental nuclear reactor."

"What?!" Misaka gasps.

"That's not good." Kamijō frowned.

"Hey, what are those girls doing?!" Tessō brings their attention over to Uiharu and Enshū.

"That's the girl, Kiyama held hostage. The other one is Kamijō's sister." Yomikawa said, What is she doing?"

"Uiharu's not being held against her will anymore, and she's not getting away." Misaka tells them.

"Enshū's acting as her bodyguard just in case something happens." Kamijō explains to them Enshū's role.

"They could use some more though." Misaka points out as she looks at Yomikawa and Tessō, "We could use your help."

Misaka and Kamijō stood before the monster as the electro master got its attention by slicing a tentacle off with iron sand.

"You'll be fighting us from now on!" She said to it.

A beam of light was shot at her, but Kamijō got in front of her and blocked it.

"Not gonna make this easy are you?" Misaka said to it.

It fired another ball of light, but this time it split it off into beams of light that was coming at Uiharu and Enshū. Luckily, Enshū lifts up the girl and jumps out high in the air on another flight of stairs.

"Not hurt?" Enshū asks her.

Uiharu stares at her in awe, "Y-Yes, I'm fine...oh!" She looks down at the program and smiles, "Good, it's not broken. I have to hurry...or it'll be too late for everyone."

Understanding Uiharu's feelings, Enshū sets her down as they begin running up the stairs again. They finally make it up the stairs and onto the street, another beam of light heads right for them, but this time both girls were protected by Yomikawa and Tessō.

"Are you okay?" Tessō asked them.

"Honestly, you kids these days so the craziest things." Yomikawa comments.

"Do you have the treatment program?" Tessō asked Uiharu.

"Yes, it's safe." She said.

"We'll cover you two, hurry!" Yomikawa ordered.

"Yes, Yomikawa-sensei." Enshū said.

Just as the creature was about to shoot another beam at them, Misaka gets its attention back on them with another electric strike.

"Didn't you hear what I told you? I said, you're going to face us. We're your biggest problem now." Misaka said to it

"Better to keep your eyes on us." Kamijō was ready to fight.

The monster shrieked but Kamijō didn't give it time to try and attack them again.

"Ryūken: Gensō Panchi (Dragon Fist: Illusion Punch)!" His whole fist flowed blue as he punches forward, punching a whole through its side.

Kiyama notices something as she stands there watching them fight.

"The injury...it's not regenerating?"

"That's Tōma's ability." Index casually said as though that explained everything.

"His ability?" Kiyama questioned, but her tone was both curious and wanting more clarification.

Misaka slams a hand in the ground, generating electricity and creating iron sand. She created an iron sand whip, blocking its beam attack and slicing its arm, but it regenerates soon after, much to her annoyance.

"This could go on forever." She frowns but then notices that the spot where Kamijō hit it didn't regenerate.

'His ability must be preventing that spot from healing! Then—!' She thinks.

Kamijō sees it about to attack again with a few ice shards hovered above it and acted again.

"Fū Ryū no Ken (Fist of the Wind Dragon)!" Generating wind around his fist, he punches forward, creating a whirlwind that shattered all the ice shards before they could even reach them.

Misaka's mouth was wide open at Kamijō's display of power. Her mind was chaotic to say the least, but one thought went through her mind.

'And he still claims to be a Level 0…?!'

Kiyama also couldn't believe what she was seeing, 'Incredible...who on earth is this boy?!'

Unfortunately, this distraction was what the monster was waiting for as one of its tentacles grabbed her ankle and threw her away.

"Misaka!" Kamijō yelled.

Thinking quickly, Misaka generates electricity through her feet and sticks to the wall behind her. She quickly jumps out of the way as the creature slammed into the wall.

"You good?" Kamijō asked her.

Slowly, she stands to her feet, "Yeah…"

The monster turns its attention to them.

With Uiharu and Enshū

Uiharu was doing her thing, while Enshū, Yomikawa, and Tessō watched her.

"All right, transfer is complete!" Uiharu report to them.

Smiling, Yomikawa yells into her cellphone, "You heard the girl! I'll take full responsibility, just play it damn it!"

The song broadcast through the speakers as everyone in Academy City heard it play. It played through every speaker, from eateries, alleys, and hospitals.

With Kamijō and Misaka

Misaka's ears perked up at the sound of a song being played. Kamijō also heard it and smiled, 'They did it.'

Suddenly, something comes out of the smoke and wraps around Misaka.

"Crap!" She curses.

"Damn!"

There was no need for Kamijō to intervene as Misaka electrocuted another tentacle, and keeping it from hitting her. She was expecting it to regenerate again...but it didn't.

'Its not growing back. That music—it's the treatment program! You did it, Uiharu!' Misaka mentally cheers.

With a smirk, Misaka's whole body sparked, "Sorry about this, but it's game over for you now!" As she said this, she sent a powerful force of electricity at the monster, making it turn brown color as it fell to the ground, releasing her from its grip.

"Nice work." Kamijō complimented.

A small blush tinted her cheeks, "You weren't so bad yourself...that was impressive." She was honestly impressed by just how strong he is.

"Don't relax!" Kiyama warns them as she got close enough to them, "This isn't over yet!"

"What do you think you're doing here?!" Misaka tells at her.

"Stay back Index, it's not safe!" Kamijō warns her.

"Right!" Index said.

There was movement out of the corner of Kamijō's eye as he saw the creature begin to move once more, "It's moving again!"

"No way!" Misaka said.

"The network may have been disrupted, but remember that's a mass of 10,000 people's thoughts created by AIM Diffusion Fields! You can't think about it like an ordinary creature!" Kiyama explains to them.

"This is so not what we bargained for...what are we supposed to do?" Misaka asked her before turning back towards the creature.

"The nucleus! There has to be a nucleus where the fields have embedded somewhere inside! That's the key, find a way to destroy it!" Kiyama answers.

"Is that it…?" A distorted voice questions

Index stares, "Its...talking…"

"That voice just now...it was Saten's." Misaka recognized.

"Are Level 0's permanently defective?" Saten's distorted voice questioned.

"That's what they think."

"I can't stand it."

"It's hopeless."

"As a Level 0–"

"—You probably wouldn't understand."

"How miserable everyday is for us."

"We come here with so many expectations...and nothing."

Index was sad for the voices of those who used the Level Upper, "This is how they feel everyday...their insecurities, hopelessness, and despair were too much for them to handle."

"People can only take so much before they no longer can. You put up a front on the outside, while you feel the complete opposite on the inside. You try and keep trying with no results...it tears at a person's self-esteem." Kamijō can relate because he's a Level 0 and sometimes feels like he's being judged because of his said level. But at the same time, he doesn't relate because he has an ability and can fight on equal grounds with a high level esper.

But now wasn't the time to berate himself. Now was the time to save those who used the Level Upper.

"Stand back now," Misaka said to Kiyama and Index, "You two might get hit."

"She's right, get to a safe distance Index." Kamijō said to her.

While Index was prepared to move out of the way, Kiyama felt different.

"What do I care? I'm responsible for creating that creature—!" Kiyama starts to rant.

"—Maybe you don't care, but what about the students you taught?" Misaka cut her off.

That shit Kiyama up.

"Once we save them, it's your face those kids are gonna want to see." Misaka said to her.

"I'll help you save those kids, and if I know Misaka, she'll also want to help you." Kamijō cuts in, "But the one thing I won't help you with is die."

"He's right, you shouldn't give up so easily, got it?" Misaka chides here lightly.

Kiyama was about to warn her of an oncoming attack, but there was no need to. Misaka created an electrical barrier that protected her workout even looking.

"We don't want you getting tangled up in that thing...that's our job!" Misaka reminds.


[Only My Railgun] by fripside: Start


Misaka shoots a large amount of electricity at the monster, creating a field.

'Incredible! Is that the same kind of induction field she was using before? With power like her's...maybe this will work!' Kiyama said mentally.

Misaka decides to add more power, creating electrical heat around the monsters body, lasting it away a little. It was then that Kiyama realized that Misaka wasn't fighting her at full power before. But if she had...then Kiyama wouldn't be here right now.

The monster combined its tentacle into fists before sending it at Kamijō, who sent his own punch, completely obliterating the arm.

Kiyama was shocked when she saw this.

'His power is just as amazing...what level is he?' She wondered.

The monster tries to use the same method again, against Mikoto this time.

"Forgive me." Misaka said softly as she cut the whole arm off.

"Anyone—"

"—Would want to be—"

"—An Esper."

"I should have realized so much sooner." Misaka continues to say.

Ice shards were sent their way.

"What's the use anymore?"

"I'll always be nothing."

"There's no point."

Both Misaka and Kamijō shatter the ice shards as they came their way.

"You were all trying so hard, weren't you?" Kamijō said with a smile.

"Doing your best and giving it your all." Misaka also smiles.

"I was so tired of not having any power. And finally, it didn't matter anymore what lengths I had to go to in order to get it." Saten's voice confessed.

Misaka nods in understanding, "I understand."

Kamijō gathers energy into his right fist beige slamming it into the ground. A light shines from underneath the creature before it sends it into the air, "Everyone has a moment of weakness...and sometimes you can't help prey to it. It's human nature. But...don't give up! When you feel like you can't give anymore, push past your limits and keep trying!"

Misaka smiles, "That's right, this doesn't have to be it, keep trying." She tosses a coin in the air, "Don't don't let yourself be defeated...you are not defective. There's nothing wrong with you."

"So...don't give up!" Both Kamijō and Misaka encourage.

Misaka flicks the coin at the creature's center as it was still in the air. The railgun went through the stomach and pierced the AIM Diffusion field, shattering it to pieces on impact.

Index stood there and cheered for both Kamijō and Misaka. Kiyama was on the ground as witnessed the sheer power of a Level 5.

"So this is it...that's a Level 5."

Uiharu, Enshū, Yomikawa, and Tessō was that it was finally over.

"They...did it…" Uiharu said, falling backwards. Luckily, Enshū was able to catch her. Smiling, she looked down at where her brother and Misaka were.

'You did it, onii-chan.' As for her thoughts on Misaka, Enshū can admit that the girl had gone up half a point in her opinion.

But only half a point.

Back down below, Kamijō walls over to Kiyama-sensei and leans down, "Kiyama-sensei, I promise you we will find a way to save your students. We won't give up until we find a way, so make sure you don't give up either."

Seeing the serious and determined look in his eyes, she closes her eyes with a smile.

"I have a feeling that if it's you...they will be saved." After seeing what he can do, she has no doubt that he will be able to save her students.


[Only My Railgun] by fripside: End


In the end, Kiyama was arrested. This outcome didn't surprise anyone, of course, but Index and Uiharu were sad to see her being taken into custody. She went willingly and didn't try to escape, before she was hauled inside the van, she turned to Misaka and told her something.

"I have no intention of giving up, I'll just have to try again. It doesn't matter whether I'm in a laboratory or a prison cell. They can lock me up, but they can't stop me from planning." Kiyama said.

At her words, they all smiled.

"However, I'm still not going to be choosy about my methods. If you don't like the plan I come up with, you'll just have to come and stop me again." Kiyama said with a smile.

Misaka made a face.

Index couldn't take it anymore and hugged the woman, surprising her, "They don't have to take you away, if you apologize then they'll have to let you go!"

Kiyama appreciated what the little nun was trying to do, but she has to face the consequences of her actions. She awkwardly hugs the girl back.

"Thank you for your kind words from before, I really appreciate it." Kiyama softly said.

Index was still sad to see her go, but reluctantly released her from the hug. Enshū was the next person to give her a hug, she then leans in and whispers something in the woman's ear. Kiyama's widen for a second before she's released from the hug and the girl goes back over to her brother.

Kamijō was the last person to say goodbye, "See you soon, Kiyama-sensei."

Kiyama smiles at the boy, "Yeah...see you soon." Finally, she stepped into the van and it drove off.

"Good grief, she'll never learn." Misaka said this with a smile. A car came up, but it was a normal transport car.

"That's for us, time to go." Kamijō said with a sigh, "We're all gonna eat good tonight."

"Really?! What are we going to eat?!" Index's eyes sparkled in anticipation.

"Whatever you wanna eat." He said.

"Yay!" Index cheered

"Oh, Kamijō-san! I just wanted to thank you for everything you did today." Uiharu thanked him, "You too, Enshū!"

Enshū smiles at Uiharu, before giving the girl a hug. This took the girl by surprise, but she didn't hesitate to hug her back.

Kamijō was happy to see his sister take a liking to other people who she feels are good people at heart. He watched as his sister looks at Misaka before giving her a dry look and walking away. Misaka gawks at her for the action, of course.

"Bye Uiharu, Short Hair!" Index waves goodbye to them.

"Why am I the only one with a nickname?!" Misaka exclaimed.

Uiharu nervously laughs.

Kamijō turns around to leave, "See ya, Biri Biri."

"I told you my name isn't "Biri Biri," it's Mikoto Misaka!" Misaka yells at his back, but he was already in the car. As she stood there huffing in annoyance she remembered something.

"Misaka!"

'I'm not imagining it, right? I'm pretty sure I heard him call out my name that time.' Misaka wonders if she heard right.

As the car drove off Kamijō stared out the window, as they drove past the scene he saw a woman there that gave him a bad feeling. It was the same feeling he felt when he got kidnapped by a member of the Kihara family after they found out about his ability.

Time seem to slow down as they finally go by her. His eyes never left her figure as they drove through, only leaving when passing by her.

She's dangerous.

If there was one thing he could trust, it was his instincts, and he knows a dangerous person when he sees one. A thump on his right shoulder showed his sleeping sisters face, and sleeping on her was Index. Smiling, he looks back out the window as the sun finally begins to set. The orange hue expressed a calming atmosphere compared to before.

"Never a dull moment." He mutters.

Not in this city.
