(Note: Sorry for the shorter chapter last time. I was originally planning on putting these two chapters together but then decided against it. Also sorry for the late update, I've been really busy lately, but I hope you enjoy.)

Yomikawa arrived on the scene in less than five minutes, a truly remarkable feat considering it would have normally taken a least twenty to thirty minutes normally and the heavy crowds of panicking students making movement more difficult then normal. Despite the fact the authorities are suppose to be able to make it to a crime scene quicker then normal, it seemed that was only the case when the high ups wanted it to be rather then when it was most important for the safety of the students.

When Yomikawa and her team did arrived, Judgement was already on the scene but what they were actually able to do in this situation was limited. The members of Judgement were more focused of evacuating students and hospital patients, getting them out of harms ways with groups already sectioning off the area and leading the bystanders to safety. There were a few members of the more skilled and powerful students surrounding a small area trying to keep the overall destruction contained to the area it was already in rather then letting it spread any farther.

The hospital itself was unharmed, but the building next to it was on fire, smoke rising into the air to form a large dark grey cloud. Many were just glad it only appeared to be the roof on fire rather then the entire building, but fires could spread quickly if not taken care of. Standing in front of the building amongst the flames, not bothered by the heavy smoke or heat produced, was a young girl with bleached hair pulled up in a braided ponytail dressed in black wearing a silver-grey mask that now revealed her left eye. In one hand the girl held a pistol, the same model that Anti Skill would weld, and in the other she held another young girl by her blond hair, preventing her mostly unconscious body from fully hitting the floor.

"It seems they already arrived." The masked girl spoke in a monotone voice that acted as a contradiction to the murderous gleam permanently engraved into her left eye. That stare alone would send even criminals on the run.

"Stand down." Yomikawa shouted to the girl who did not even bother to glance behind her at the swarm of Anti Skill.

"There's no need for you to get all worked up." The girl replied in the same monotone voice. Despite the lack of emotions in her voice, the way she spoke made it sound like this was all nothing more then a small child's quarrel over a stuffed animal. "Birdway isn't someone you should be aiming to protect. She's not a resident of Academy City and her methods can be just as sadistic as mine, though the fact that she got into the city means that this situation is already getting out of hand."

"I said stand down!" Yomikawa shouted back this time firing off a warning shot. "Or we'll have no choice but to use force!"

The girl sighed as she released the girls hair letting her upper body fall to the floor. The masked girl then stood there for a moment, not doing anything. Finally the masked girl dropped her gun which Yomikawa took as a sign of surrender and began to slowly move forward to take the girl under custody.

It had been a major mistake as the girl turned around and was moving at incredible speed. The Anti Skill officers began firing at the girl, but she managed to dodge every bullet with ease to the point it seemed inhuman. Yomikawa did not know how the girl was going to attack without her pistol, but figured she would use her ability at this point. She was surprised when the girl reached under the back of her jacket and instead pulled out a short ninja sword before doing what most would consider a strange move by diving down into a roll, cutting at the woman's legs which held less protection then her upper body. Afterwards the girl managed to shift her body up enough for her to jam her elbow into Yomikawa's jaw with enough force to knock her back while at the same time getting back into a standing position.

Yomikawa reached for her own gun that fell out of her hand a mere centimeters away from her. Before she could reach her weapon the masked girl slammed her foot down on the older woman's arm with enough force to cause minor pain, followed by the blade pinning her hand to the ground.

"Do you really think that's enough to stop me?!" Yomikawa roared as she reached for the blade with her free hand. "Shoot!"

Just like that gunfire rang throughout the area. But the masked girl was faster.

She jumped back, using her foot to put pressure on one area of Yomikawa's discarded shield causing it to stand up enough for her to grab hold and effectively use it to block the incoming gunfire.

"You know there's another you who's a lot more respectable and who refused to shoot at any student or child."

Yomikawa got hold of the handle of the short sword and was in the process of ripping it out of her hand but was taken by surprise when the masked girl pulled on a thin but sturdy wire attached to her beltloop causing the blade to come back to her.

Yomikawa pulled out a retractable police baton and charged at the girl from the side she was not holding the sword with. She managed to get in close, but was unable to get a hit in. Instead she noticed the girl had the sword stuck into the ground and was now holding a small device that appeared to be an ordinary smart phone, but the moment she placed her finger on the screen multiple explosions rang out.

"Did you really think I wouldn't be prepared for a major battle when planning to take on an unknown foe?" The girl questioned Yomikawa like she was talking to a child. "Really, I wasn't planning to cause so much damage but you can blame blondie for that. You see, that girl is both our target, but for different reasons. I'm trying to protect the city. But I guess you fail to understand what it takes to do that."

The masked girl held her blade, ready to strike Yomikawa, but did not get the chance. A large beam of light shot through the air melting part of the blade as it made contact, or at least that's what it appeared to be. In reality it was a small coin a certain chestnut hair girl found on the ground launched at three times the speed of sound. In other words, a Railgun.

"Misaka X?"

'My head hurts.' Was the first thought that crossed Mikoto's mind. In fact it was the only thought that crossed her mind besides the name "Accelerator" which seemed to always be present in her thoughts even when she was trying to think of something - anything - else. She could not put the name with a face or even an event, but she still remembered the name even more easily then she did her own.

Mikoto sighed, deciding to put the thought to the back of her mind as she slowly opened her eyes only to shut them the moment she was blinded by bright fluorescent lights built into the ceiling, drowning out any possible darkness. Once she was paying attention to her surrounding rather then how annoyed she was with a certain name, Mikoto was easily able to recognize the smell of bleach and sterile air, telling her exactly where she was but not why.

The middle school girl took a deep breath before once again blinking open her eyes, ignoring the brightness of the room. Once her eyes adjusted, Mikoto forced herself into a sitting position.

Mikoto pulled back the thin light blue blanket covering her as she looked over herself as best she could. She was not in any pain besides a slight headache, at most feeling only slightly sore from an intense workout, and could not find any visible injuries leaving Mikoto without a reason as to why she was waking up in a hospital. This began making the chestnut haired girl more annoyed then she was before and causing for a few small sparks to form around her bangs.

"This is an Emergency! An armed criminal is near the hospital. All patients please follow Judgement to a safe location. Repeat. This is an emergency. An armed criminal is near the hospital. All patients please follow Judgement to a safe location. "

Mikoto looked around at the sound of the announcement. She swung her legs over the side of the bed, placing her bare feet on the cold ground and making her way to the large window. Right away she could see the commotion right outside the hospital.

Smoke rose up into the air from a building that had been caught on fire. The fire however was being well contained, so far only covering the top portion of the building, and was not the most pressing problem for the time being. In front of the building that was on fire, Anti Skill was standing against a single girl. The girl they were surrounding was dressed in black with dyed white hair pulled up and wore a broken mask hiding most her face. Other then that Mikoto could not make out many details from where she was standing. Mikoto watched in intrest as a blued haired woman slowly approached the girl, Anti Skill appearing to have the upper hand, but something seemed off.

Mikoto did not even bother putting on shoes or going down the stairs. The young chestnut haired girl flung open the window and got into a position to jump out, but it was at that same moment that the door opened revealing a black haired girl wearing the Tokiwadai winter uniform with a blue Judgement armband was attached to the right sleeve.

Blue?

The girl had come with two nurses to help evacuate Mikoto who was only recently labeled as top priority. Before they were making their way down the rooms of patients who could not walk themselves and evacuating them, but skipped a good portion to get to Mikoto.

One might think that it would be easy to evacuate a hospital in a place such as Academy City, but it took longer then most would have liked. Not to mention that in most cases the higher ups would monopolize the majority of Anti Skill to protect themselves from a potential threat.

"Saten-san?" The chestnut haired girl questioned slightly tilting her head as she did so.

"What are you doing?!"

Mikoto did not respond. In any other situation she would have questioned why Saten was wearing the Tokiwadai uniform or why she had a Judgement armband attached to the sleeve. As she was now, Mikoto might even question how she knew Saten's name to begin with. But with the current events taking place, Mikoto's full attention was focused on the clear danger, at least for her, the Anti Skill officers were in.

Without hesitating, Mikoto jumped from the window. She felt a gentle breeze unnaturally turning like a tornado trying to keep her from falling, but it was not stronger enough to do anything when she used magnetism to pull herself to a metal bike rack attached to the undamaged sidewalk. Mikoto could not see Saten leaning out the window calling out the name she was given. The only thing Mikoto could focus on was that she made it just in time.

Moments after she landed the sound of explosions rang throughout the area.

Mikoto used various methods to save the Anti Skill officers. Some she shielding with other fallen pieces of rubble, some she pulled out of the danger zone before they were too badly injured, and others she was able to launch up into the air where they would not cause any harm to the officers or civilians. In the end there were no casualties, though there were a few major injuries.

"Did you really think I wouldn't be prepared for a major battle when planning to take on an unknown foe?" The girl's voice caught Mikoto's attention causing her to look over at the masked girl she could vaguely she from her hospital window. For some reason when she looked at the girl, a image of an older, more twisted, version of her self flashed before her eyes. But this girl looked more sadistic and seemed like the type of person who would get off on killing others despite her monotone voice. "Really, I wasn't planning to cause so much damage but you can blame blondie for that. You see, that girl is both our target, but for different reasons. I'm trying to protect the city. But I guess you fail to understand what it takes to do that."

The masked girl had her back to Mikoto. With all the sensors built into her mask, she normally would have been able to see Mikoto and be able to prepare for an attack from the disoriented chestnut haired girl. This however was not the case. Now, thanks to her damaged mask she could not get as many details on the images displayed before her as before , nor could she see as far, disrupting her 'perfect vision.'

This was not something the girl took into account, too caught up in the thrill of finally being able to devour her prey, or at least her new prey now that she was unable to take out Mikoto. The white haired girl figured Anti Skill would make a fine appetizer before the main meal.

The masked girl held her blade, ready to strike Yomikawa who was ready to counter the attack even while being disoriented from the explosions, but neither of them got the chance. Mikoto was wearing the provided teal hospital clothes and thus could not pull a coin from her pocket which she did not even have. However, there were many small objects laying around in the rubble for her to use instead and it did not take long for her to find a small piece of metal for her to use in replacement for her normal arcade coin.

Moments later the small metal object was sent flying through the air at three times the speed of sound, melting the top half of the masked girls blade and destroying the wall across from them.

A Railgun. Something no student in Academy City knew how to produce had just been let loose on the battlefield with such ease it seemed unnatural and even impossible for such a small and young girl to hold so much power. Little did they know, this girl had made her way through WWIII and was probably capable of whipping out an entire countries military without any assistance, as well as faced foes most could not even imagine.

"Misaka X..." Yomikawa questioned being unable to get out any more worlds, too overwhelmed with shock.

The masked girl turned to Mikoto leaving a wide eyed Yomikawa on the sidelines, her complete focus on the other young girl. Mikoto's eyes kept shifting between the masked girl and Yomikawa, at first looking almost unsure of what actions to take next. This did not last long however as her face gained a mask of absolute resolve. After all, it was already a well known fact that once Mikoto put her mind to something she would not stop until she overcame every hurdle to prevent her from accomplishing her goal.

"From what we saw it showed you were only a level 3." The masked girl said in the same monotone voice as before, the shock leaving her face. "What, did you lie about your level."

Mikoto gave no response, instead pulling iron sand from the ground, letting it rise up around her like a shape shifting shield before a portion of it formed into a sword in her hand. This sword however was different then most one might encounter due to the small detail that the iron sand vibrated causing the blade to be able to cut through objects like a buzz saw.

Just like that the two forces clashed.

However, with the damaged equipment and inaccurate information, the battle seemed almost one sided. Even with Mikoto in an exhausted state, the masked girl was no match for the third ranked level 5. The Ace of Tokiwadai. The Railgun, Misaka Mikoto.

(Note: Yay, finally some Mikoto action. Next chapter we'll get some Mikoto and Accelerator interactions!)
