The sportsman screams, no effort goes unrewarded.
Work hard for your dreams!
It's about how you play the game.
Obviously all untrue.
Even the youngest children in this city understand.
It doesn't matter how much you study.
It doesn't matter how many papers you publish.
Only espers are ever recognized in this city.
Your level is your very worth,
your sole merit,
your only measure.
But esper powers are not a stable reference.
They're largely determined at birth.
And the production of high-level espers is, at this point in time, based almost entirely on chance.
So, I thought,
maybe I can devise a new method for producing espers based on a completely new approach.
A more reliable method to produce espers of a uniform quality,
as many as anyone could ever want,
from naught more than scratch?
So I joined forces with several like minds, and we came up with a plan.
A project to create an esper of certainty without relying on the gods of uncertainty.
Project Chemicaloid.
So that's why you made Febri and her sister?
For something this stupid?
Looks like you're another fool who still believes in the esper level system.
Just another one of them.
"Them"?
A while back, we presented Project Chemicaloid to a certain group of people
who seemed like they could use it.
They're not very smart for an "underground organization."
They can't even see the potential of our plan.
I'm glad it all worked out.
Now we can continue with the Level Shift Project.
That's Dr. Kihara!
I was worried when I heard that we had competition.
Competition?
Oh, you mean that little summer school project?
That made me understand.
Even the best scientists are just senile old fools who believe in the esper level system.
Revolutionary ideas are always labeled as heretic.
In order for people to accept them, they need to be proven with a live sample.
That's why we actually created them.
Chemicaloids.
With them, we can prove to the world how talented and how righteous we are.
And how do you know you're so talented?
What power do those girls have?
Trying to trick information out of me?
Sorry, but I've already given you enough hints.
Remote control.
Those strands of hair are the transmitters...
That's about points out of .
You fail, Railgun.
You'll find out the answer tomorrow.
Tomorrow, at dawn, we'll be commencing a large-scale experiment as part of Project Chemicaloid.
An experiment?
Well, we can't really call it an experiment anymore.
Let me correct myself.
A revolution!
We, STUDY, will bring a revolution to Academy City!
And then, the people of this city—
no, the whole world will finally realize.
This new age will be built not by esper powers, but by intellect!
Why...
...
It's pointless to try moving.
The only things you can move are your mouth and eyes.
Because
the drug I injected you with blocks neurotransmitters.
I don't think you'll be able to lift a finger for another two hours.
Hey, Nunotaba-san...
Why are you with them?
I mean, you told me before that you couldn't see my sisters as objects.
That's why you tried to stop the experiments, right?
So what are you doing here?
Because I made a mistake while trying to free the Sisters.
I was captured by an underground organization.
They sold me to STUDY.
There, I met the manmade twins,
Janie and Febri.
Their autonomic nervous functions, which ensured that they remained alive—
what you could call their "base program"—were based on a paper I once wrote.
A sin, once committed, is never forgotten.
It haunts you for all eternity.
But...
That's why I need to sort it out myself.
That's what I thought after I saw them.
Janie,
Febri's older sister,
only has the programming interface necessary to act as the core of Diffusion Ghost installed.
Diffusion Ghost?
That's Janie's ability.
I had planned to give her a human consciousness,
and escape with her as soon as I got the recipe for the antidote.
But...
I can't do that anymore.
The only person who I can get the recipe from is Aritomi.
And I'll do whatever I need to get it.
Oh, I see.
I don't care what happens to me.
I will save those twins.
Right now, she must be...
You know...
I'm sorry you had to—
My little sisters said
that they wanted to thank you.
Before trying to shoulder it all yourself,
you should open your eyes and look around you.
There are people who want to help you.
You're alone, just like me.
What do you think you can do?
Your motor system's been shut down!
All you can do is move your mouth!
Who said I can't move?
How?
Wait...
Is she directly controlling the electric signals of her nervous system using her powers?
It's the first time I tried this,
but it's not as bad as I thought.
But by doing that, she must feel immense pain throughout her body.
I've only just started to understand it myself.
That, by depending on others, and letting them depend on you,
people can exceed what they can do as individuals.
When I found out about my sisters,
I drove myself into a corner.
I thought that I had to sort it out myself because it was my fault.
But looking back on it, I think I was wrong.
So...
They're here.
Hey, what's going on?!
There's an intruder.
The guard robots have been taken out.
Uiharu!
I've cleared the entrance!
You're sure no one else is in here, right?
Of course I am! Go hog wild!
Saten-san, how's it look from up there?
All clear!
No suspicious movements whatsoever!
But how...
Using the nanodevices they use to trace us when we leave Academy City.
I told my friends
to come find me if I'm not back on time.
You dragged your friends into this?
No.
I told them what was going on and asked for their help.
They all agreed without a second thought.
They said they'd do anything for Febri.
It doesn't look like we can save Febri by ourselves, though.
So let me ask you.
Please help us.
There's nothing I can do.
No.
This is something only you can do.
So—
Before I answer that,
there's something I have to ask you too.
Please, help us.
Kuroko!
Onee-sama!
Wait, Kurok—
Onee-sama!
I come all this way to save you and this is how you thank me?!
I'm sorry.
Something happened, and now I'm basically a walking taser for a bit.
Huh?
Anyway, let's get out of here.
Onee-sama?
I'll explain
Alternative ,everything later.
So she could still move despite being drugged?
She's even more of a monster than they say.
So why are you still here?
Why didn't you run?
Above all,
an underground organization sold me to you.
If I ran, every underground organization would be after me.
In this city, that's equal to death.
Seems like you're used to it already.
But I'm glad.
If you ran, we'd have to whip Janie into doing our bidding.
You can only live in the darkness now.
Keep repeating that in your head while you work your butt off.
Are you really gonna stay?
Aritomi's team has evacuated Janie somewhere else.
If I went with you, we'd lose her completely.
But...
Never mind.
I'm still of use to them.
They won't dispose of me immediately.
I'll do what I can to find their main base and the recipe for the neutralizer.
Fine.
That Aritomi guy was pretty confident when talking about tomorrow morning.
What did he mean?
I don't know the details myself.
All I know is that they're doing it.
Tomorrow.
A large-scale t*rror1st att*ck at the Assembly?
Yeah.
They were calling it a revolution.
A revolution?!
They're serious.
They have a company called STUDY Corporation as their cover.
They're going to use Febri's sister's—Janie's power to do it.
What?!
That means...
And this power's called "Diffusion Ghost"?
Diffusion Ghost uses her hair as a transmitter.
It materializes an AIM diffusion field as a virtual object, which fills its containing space and controls it.
So it turns out that it was Janie's power that controlled those empty powered suits and unusable guard robots.
Materializing an AIM field?
You mean like what Dr. Kiyama's did?
Uiharu, you know about that?
More like I saw it with my own eyes...
But there has to be a limit on the number of objects she can control.
It's not exactly perfect for large-scale terrorism.
Apparently, she can give those fields primitive orders before they materialize.
Kind of like, "destroy whoever att*cks you."
So she can use them like autonomous robots?
If so, then a large-scale t*rror1st att*ck may not be out of the question.
Do we...
Do we know where Janie is?
If we can stop her,
there won't be an att*ck, right?
About that...
The girl I told you about, Nunotaba Shinobu,
doesn't know where their base of operations is.
No...
She did say that, once Janie uses her ability,
Febri could tell us where she is, or at least what direction to go.
But that would mean we can't do anything until they've made their move.
If we want to catch them before that,
tracing the source of those powered suits would be best.
They must've dispatched a lot of them around the Assembly areas.
Uiharu-san, can you do it?
I've got more search criteria now...
I think I can.
Onee-sama,
don't you think that, with this much information,
Anti-Skill might be able to move?
Good idea.
Sorry, but Anti-Skill probably won't be able to help at all.
What?
STUDY Corporation, huh?
Now things are starting to make sense.
They've recently overtaken their competition and become our main supplier for equipment.
I was a bit concerned about how nontransparent they were.
Now I know why I got suspended.
Suspended?
Are you okay?
Yeah. I'm staying with a friend.
No need to worry about me.
On the other hand, I'm worried about you.
Don't do anything crazy.
The situation is more dire than I thought.
Found something!
It says here that STUDY Corporation moved a large number of containers to the Assembly areas!
Inside the Assembly?!
But that—
There was actually a blackout every time one was delivered,
so the data is a bit unclear.
Blackouts?
So that was the plan?
How many are there?
Hang on.
I'm checking now.
(kongo)This is terrible!
(kongo)I asked my father to look into the matter, and he's gotten back to me!
(kongo)If you add up all the parts from the various corporations,
Alternative ,Based on the number of containers...
(kongo)they can make an incredibly large number of suits!
Alternative ,No way! That many?!
(kongo)The number is at least—
Over twenty thousand!
Wait, what?
That many?
They filled out all the paperwork to move them to the Assembly areas.
So, if we acted without Anti-Skill's approval, we'd be in the wrong.
So there's nothing we can do until they make their move?
All we can do is find Janie and stop her!
But we can't locate her unless she uses her power.
They need to commence their att*ck first.
No way...
Alternative ,(bg)Over twenty thousand...
They've got us on the defensive.
Alternative ,(bg)That's absolutely ridiculous.
They're serious.
Alternative ,(bg)And we can't do anything until they start!
They've been seriously preparing for this.
Alternative ,(bg)It's so unfair!
I can't begin to imagine what would happen if they all went berserk...
Onee-sama?
Misaka-san?
I want to save Febri,
and her sister Janie,
and Nunotaba-san, who's doing her best behind enemy lines.
There's nothing more I want than to protect Academy City.
But I don't want to put you all in any danger.
Am I being selfish?
Well—
I'm just as selfish, then.
No, maybe even more.
Because I feel the same way,
and I don't want to see you make that face anymore.
She's right!
Even if everything came out perfectly,
there's no way we'd be happy so long as you had that look on your face.
Yeah.
Besides, I think we can figure this out together.
Exactly!
We just need to work together!
I... I think so too!
Me too.
And it can't be a happy ending...
...unless everyone is smiling when it's all over!
It's my dream to go back home smiling, without having lost anything.
Yeah...
This is my dream.
Huh? Everyone's here?
Hey, Febri.
We're gonna go save Janie.
Do you wanna come along?
Aomi?
Sorry for calling you so late.
It's fine.
Since you're calling, I know that you have a very good reason why it's now.
What's up?
Say, Aomi.
What do you think of this city?
Thank you very much, Father!
This is what we need!
You heard her.
Could you do her this favor, Uncle?
Hot! Hot!
Done!
Very nice!
I made it for my sister!
It looks delicious!
How's it going, Saten-san?
It doesn't really make sense,
but we gotta do what we can, right?
Do your best!
Yep!
We should do our best and make more!
How refreshing.
I'm done as well!
Now, if the Supervisor comes by, we'll be safe.
But this only works for one bed,
and it's way too big...
We're both in bed...
Together.
But it was perfect!
Sheesh.
Whatever.
If she finds out,
let's just deal with that together.
Now...
Onee-sama...
What's this?
It's a good-luck charm.
You won't find one luckier.
Thanks.
By the way,
who did you just call?
Oh, just someone.
Ten minutes to sunrise.
It's been a long night.
But dawn will soon come on that long night.
All systems are up and running.
We only need to push the button.
Janie's in the linker.
Seems she knows her place too.
Whether this succeeds or fails,
my sins will never disappear.
But I still need to do what I can.
All right. One final vote.
Those in favor of carrying out the plan?
Let's get this Silent Party started, then.
That dress looks great on you.
Is it the one Kongou-san gave you?
Yeah!
I like it as much as the other one!
The other one?
Shinobu got it for me!
Oh?
Did she?
Well, it's time.
sh**ting light, my way!
