Chapter 1: Prologue

My body feels stiff, the last thing I remember was a bright light and the sensation of falling. I slowly open my eyes and become blinded by the sun, I shield my eyes with my hand while slowly getting up. "Where am I?" I mumble while looking around. It looks like a normal city, but wait are those...robots? I slowly walk up to one and just watch it, it seems to be just picking up trash like a trashcan with wheels, kinda looks like one too.

Suddenly I hear glass breaking I turn around and see robbers coming out of a store, there are three of them. The first two run past me but I jump in front of the third, I don't know why I felt the need to do that since I've never been in a fight in my life. The crook sighs, "Why do I have to deal with the runt?" he mutters.

I try to punch him in the face, at that moment everything seems to slow down. Is my hand covered in fire? The punch misses but the goon seems a bit spooked, "This kid is an esper?" he asks to no one in particular. Before I can even ask him what the hell he's going on about though he knees me in the stomach and punches me in the face. I fall and land on my back as the crook begins to run away.

Believing that I wouldn't be able to catch him even if I tried I get up slowly. While in the middle of getting up I suddenly hear crackling and I watch as electricity takes down the robber who slugged me. I look around for whoever did that and find a girl not much younger than I am with some sort of electrical aura. She walks over and offers me a hand up, I gladly take it. Once I'm pulled back up to my feet I get a closer look at the girl, she seems to have light brown hair, light brown eyes, and a school uniform of some sort.

"You Ok?" she asks. I rub my cheek a bit, "Yeah I'm fine and thanks for the help but I do have one question. How did you manipulate lightning?" I reply. "Well you're an odd one. Right in the heart of Academy city and you have no idea what an esper is." the girl states. "Misaka Mikoto." the girl randomly introduces herself while holding out her hand. I shake it and reply "Brandyn Hicks".

Suddenly I hear a noise over head, I look up and see a blimp it seems to have the weather on it. August 4 2016?! Espers, Academy city, 2016 what is this place? "You ok? You just started staring off into space." the electro master stares at me waiting for a reply. "Oh yeah I'm fine, I was wondering though since I'm a bit lost would you mind giving me a tour?" I reply. "Wouldn't it make more sense to ask judgement?" She asks. "What's that?" I reply. Finally realizing that I'm completely clueless Misaka reluctantly agrees to help me out.

She took me on a tour of the city pointing out any places of interest Judgement HQ and the school garden to name a few. Along with some of her favorite spots, along the way we passed a high school student with black spiky hair. Misaka's pace increased tremendously upon seeing him. After the tour we had sat down on a bench near a vending machine.

"As thanks for helping me out why don't I buy you a soda." I state while taking out some money. "Oh no need, putting your money in there would be a waste of time." Misaka cryptically states while standing up. She walks up to the vending machine much to my confusion. Suddenly she kicks it, and two sodas fall out. "You can't decide what your going to get this way but it's still worth it." Misaka states while throwing me a grape soda. "Property Damage detected!" A robotic voice echoes throughout the park. Before I can even realize what's going on Misaka grabs my wrist and practically starts dragging me away from the vending machine.

"Come on! Do you want to get caught?!" She yells. After another second or two I finally connect the dots and proceed to run. After a few minutes we run into an alley way. "I think we lost them." Misaka says while looking around. "You know we could've just payed for our sodas." I say.

What happened next was a blur one second I was arguing with Misaka and the next I was slammed into and subsequently pinned to the nearest wall. "Oh sissy! You with a boy in the middle of an alley, I thought you were better than this!" A strange girl with curly hair yells. "It's not like that!" Misaka yells while electrocuting the strange girl. The fear of having my head bashed in finally subsided I decide to try to break up the fight well as best a someone pinned up to a wall can anyway. Admittedly this was moreso for my own sake because I really didn't want one of those electrical charges to hit me on the rebound.

I decided the best way to do this was to just yell "Stop fighting!". This almost worked as planned as it did stop the two from fighting, unfortunately this also caused another effect. Curly hair now focused her attention on me. A metal pike not unlike the ones holding me in place appears in her hand. "If you do anything to hurt sissy I won't hesitate to teleport one of these directly into your body." she threatens. "L-like she said it's not like t-that." I stutter fearful for my life. "He's just a friend Kuroko." Misaka reiterates.

The girl who's name is apparently Kuroko suddenly changes demeanor. All the pikes are teleported away and the girl offers her hand for me to shake. "A friend of sissy's is a friend of mine!" She cheerfully exclaims though I have a feeling that under that cheerful face is anger. "I'm Brandyn Hicks, it's a pleasure to meet you." I try to be as polite as I can because I just knew that this girl is just a time bomb that could explode at any moment. "Kuroko Shirai and the pleasure is all mine." She politely replies. Well this was an interesting day, first I get sent to another world and then I'm greeted by a tomboy with electric power and her crazy friend with teleportation powers.
