Disclaimer: I do not own anything of the To Aru Franchise

Firstly, This is my first fanfic, I generally tend to original stories of my own creation but I had a few ideas floating about in my head that I decided to culminate into a singular story format.

Secondly, I don't know if this story will catch on so I don't currently have an idea of how much I will update, so if you like the story let me know otherwise it will probably eventually wither and die.

Thirdly, I am always happy to receive critique both positive and negative, But I'll just ask that when critiquing that you either give examples or reasoning behind your critiques so I can improve. "This Sucks" isn't very helpful I can't be expected to improve with type of response and because of this it will go very much ignored. I also don't mind answering various questions both on and off topic if you so wish.

Finally, The setting of this story is taking place after the events of NT 10, except for the first couple of chapters which takes place before the epilogue. My goal is to keep this story as plausibly canon as possible without changing the real canon to make it fit. I'm also going to avoid making OCs as much as possible except for maybe a randomly generated antagonist to present a conflict every once and awhile but for the most part this is dealing with the established characters of the Raildex franchise as the come to learn more about Touma his involvement of the events of the Franchise.

It was an unprecedented year filled with many unprecedented events, Academy City was successfully invaded. Just like Jericho their walls were proven to not be impenetrable. Great Britain fell under a Coup d'état committed by none other than a member of the royal family wearing a bright red dominatrix outfit. Hawaii suffered a major terrorist attack and the government nearly overthrown by women who is best described as the power hungry love child of Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates, and "NSA Gone Wild."

And let's not forget the third greatest war of our planet. WWIII was filled with eyewitness claims that were so ludicrous you'd be half convinced that entire armies were just sitting around and shooting up the entire time. There were various reports concerning multiple apocalyptic events, others claiming that there were titanic golden skeletons rising from the ground as the heavens were descending upon earth, whatever the hell that means, others claiming there were Angels flying through sky, and some even go as far as claiming they saw a fucking starship. The reports of the live reenactment ripped right out of the book of revelation are bad enough but the Earth did not stand still that day so there is no reason for entire armies to go complete Roy Neary on everyone's ass, well you can only imagine the confusion when reading those reports.

There were many unprecedented events that year, but there was one event in particular that was truly unique, throughout history there have been wars, coup d'état, terrorist attacks, and overthrown governments before, the scale and the frequency may have been different but they are not unheard of nor are they completely unexpected. No, there was one event that everyone talked about; that everyone knew in the history of the planet it was truly unprecedented. An Alliance, every major government from every major country came together with mutual understanding and for singular purpose other than themselves, to stop the great terrorist organization GREMLIN and their leader Othinus from destroying the world, the battle for the world was staged at Tokyo Bay and it ended in Denmark. The details of the incident were vague to the common citizen but there is one element during it all that stood out, one incident that stood above the rest. A live international Broadcast made by none other than the great heads of states from around the world allied together to address the common citizen.

Everyone around the world stopped to watch, each expecting something different, a declaration of world peace, a confirmation that they don't have to live in fear from Gremlin anymore. But instead, it was the greatest leaders respectively praising a young Japanese boy for saving the terrorist they were trying to stop. For the first time in history the world had come together for a singular purpose, to stop the greatest terrorist the world has ever seen attempting the ultimate genocide of our planet and it ended the world's leaders making an international broadcast condemning themselves for their actions and praising the boy for joining her side.

What could you possibly say to that?

It was as if everyone's illusions of what was right and what was wrong were destroyed.

But the result was there Othinus was saved, the world is without danger, and every major government came together to praise the boy who did it.

"Who was that boy?"

Some were enemies, some were friends, and some were complete strangers, but the world was motivated by that singular question. Some wanted a literal answer, others just a personal understanding. Some were innocently curious, some were seeking redemption for themselves, others were angry and filled with hatred and now looking for revenge, some were suspecting him of being guilty of other major crimes, and some just wanted to make a profit.

As the individuals of the world take action towards their goal, towards that question, the true identity of Kamijou Touma will be known.

That's the end of the prologue and the start of the story.
