02x13 - Accelerator

[bunniefuu]

"Thank you for waiting."

"The next experiment will be done with Number ," announces MISAKA.

Damn, you freaks keep confusin' the hell out of me.

"Confirmed."

"Numbers and will now commence the designated operation."

It's time.

Experiment number will begin now.

The Tree Diagram's been destroyed...

But how?

Was it sh*t down by an enemy?

Or did it collide with space debris?

No, that's not the problem.

The problem is that I lost my last means to thwart the plan.

And, even though the Tree Diagram is gone, the plan is still proceeding on schedule.

Oh, that's right.

There was a list of facilities involved with the plan...

Wasn't one of them in this area?

Sorry for the wa—

Wait, what?

Oh, Deferred.

Really, where did she go?

Your identity code cannot be confirmed.

Unauthorized personnel are not allowed in this area.

Please leave imm—

Hey!

Misaka's sister?

Meh. I guess there's no way she'd be in a place like this.

Wh-What's that?

Was that an expl*si*n?!

No!

I-It's her!

The...

Hey, you done yet? Can I k*ll you now?

In the middle of the city?

You're pretty crazy,

aren't you?

Why're you running?

Flashing your buttocks so joyfully at me like that...

You leading me on or something?

That's right.

It's not over yet.

I can't give up.

I just need to destroy them all.

Everyone involved now...

and anyone who'll ever be involved...

Absolutely everything!

What a mess.

What on Earth happened?

She's... not here.

All right. We'll go ba—

Wait, isn't this hers?

How about a riddle to make this a bit more exciting?

Now, question. What am I, the Accelerator doing exactly?

"Reflecting".

Sorry!

I do have it set on "reflect" as though.

That's not quite the true nature of my skill.

The answer is

"vector change".

Momentum

heat

and

electric charge.

All kinds of "vectors" can be changed with just the touch of my skin.

Well, then.

I'll destroy them all.

All their equipment, their funds,

their desires, and their ambitions.

I'll destroy everything until all that's left are ashes.

And then, one day...

One day?

Will such a nice day ever come?

How many of those Sisters have to suffer before it comes?

Shut up!

What d'ya want me to do?!

How am I supposed to make them cancel the plans?!

Now,

time for the consolation prize question.

If I reversed the direction of the flow of blood,

what would happen to a human's body?

N-No...

No...

Please, no...

Don—

Yo.

So you're my partner for this experiment?

"Yes."

"I look forward to working with you,"

answers MISAKA.

It's my first time fighting a Level too.

I'm kinda looking for—

A g*n?

"Everything is under control,"

says MISAKA, showing off her enthusiasm about this first battle.

"By the way, I have received permission to sh**t you."

"May I really?"

All right, let's begin the first experiment.

"Let's fight to the death,"

says MISAKA as she commences combat.

"Are the b*llet trajectories being altered?"

wonders MISAKA as she opens distance and analy—

Who the hell do you take me for?

Hey!

What's the meaning of this?

Is this really the clone of a Level ?

Please ignore the power gap with the original.

The clones share their memories through a network.

Through , battles, they will continue learning and building experience.

The last few might not be so easy to defeat, even for you.

So you mean I've gotta keep fighting these weaklings?

Damn, what a letdown.

This time it was just her, then?

Yes.

However, the first experiment has yet to be concluded.

It won't be until you dispose of the subject behind you.

Completion of the project requires the disposal of , armed clones.

The target has not yet ceased operation.

Continue fighting.

"I... understand..."

"I will now resume the experiment,"

says MISAKA, obeying her orders.

Dispose of? Cease operations?

Does that mean—

"Oh."

"It's dark..."

"It feels like I'm sinking into deep waters..."

"Is this... death?"

...asks MISA... KA...

So that's it.

Good work.

This concludes the first experiment.

They'll grow stronger as we progress, so bear with it for now.

So just keep disposing them as such.

No need to hold back.

You are fighting synthesized masses of dr*gs and protein.

Mere puppets.

Well, I guess I should grab some food.

Mi... Misaka...

What's this?

Apparently something happened.

I heard someone d*ed.

What? A m*rder?

Where's the body, kid?

We're almost there!

What's wrong?

No... uh...

Someone... Someone really d*ed here...

Huh?

You'd better not be pulling our legs.

This... This can't be...

Was it a dream?

No way it could've been.

Yes, I see.

Hey!

We checked all the security cameras in the area.

There wasn't any suspicious activity recorded on any of them.

That can't be!

It was right here—

We'll report that it was just a mistaken witness.

But if you pull this again, we'll have a talk with your school.

Sheesh. What a disgusting prank.

What's going on?

What's going on here?

Damn it!

Mi... Misaka?

"Forgive me."

"It was my intention to return once I was done with the operation,"

apologizes MISAKA first.

Huh, wait.

You're Misaka's sister, right?

Damn it,

what was all that in the end?

Sorry.

I just... thought you were dead all this time...

Thank God... and it looks like you're all right...

"MISAKA did actually die," reports MISAKA.

What... are you carrying?

What are you holding?

"For security purposes, I am confirming the 'password' with you,"

as MISAKA proceeds.

"ZXCASDQWE,"

tests MISAKA.

Wh...at?

"Not being able to decode the password shows

that you are not related to the experiment,"

confirms MISAKA.

What the hell are you talking about?!

The thing inside your bag is...

"Sisters,"

answers MISAKA.

"I apologize for leaving

the black cat behind,"

says MISAKA.

"However,

I could not involve an animal in this unnecessary conflict,"

explains MISAKA.

"It seems I have given you unnecessary worries from this experiment,"

apologizes MISAKA.

"However, you need not worry."

"Every MISAKA here

is MISAKA."

What... is this...

"The MISAKA that you have been in touch with is Serial Number ."

"That's me."

"And the MISAKA that d*ed today was serial number ."

"That's the MISAKA you and Onee-sama accidentally met yesterday,"

explains MISAKA.

"MISAKA uses the ability to control electricity,

links our brain waves together.

and share memories,"

adds MISAKA.

Who are you?

"Somatic cell clones, mass produced for m*llitary use,

that use Misaka Mikoto Onee-sama,

one of only seven Level s in the Academy City, as the original model."

"Sisters,"

answers MISAKA.

Misaka's... clones?

What are you doing?

"A simple experiment,"

answers MISAKA.

"I am not permitted to explain details

as it is classified information,"

"but this is not an incident,"

defends MISAKA.

"I apologize once more for involving you in this experiment,"

as MISAKA lowers her head.

"Please care for the cat."

"A simple experiment,"

"Misaka Mikoto Onee-sama."

"Somatic cell clones, mass produced for m*llitary use."

Experiment?

m*llitary use?

Don't tell me...

...she knew about all this?

The Level Shift Project.

By k*lling the Railgun times, he can reach Level .

I see.

So that's what I should do.

Next stop, School District , the Tokiwadai Student Dormitories.

Next stop, School District , the...

Room .

What am I supposed to tell her?

Should I really ask the details of a horrifying experiment that involves k*lling people without remorse?

It was all for naught.


Everything.

It's all my fault.

And now, the only way I can save them is...
