Chapter 1
In the middle of the most advanced city in the world stood a building with no outside doors or windows. Inside this building within a glass tube was a man floating upside down in a vat of liquid. This man was Aleister Crowley the secret chief director of Academy City, who was currently engaged in recent world events. Last week a mysterious gate had appeared in downtown Tokyo; and an invading army had come from it. While the Ginza incident was a tragedy for Japan, it was a godsend for Academy City. The attack from another world had eased tensions between the magical and scientific communities, and prevented the war that had been brewing the past few months.
"So what are you planning to do?" asked Aleister. Right now he was talking with his counterpart in the English Puritan Church. A woman in a pink dress with impossibly long blond hair, Laura Bishop.
"Unfortunately, the Japanese Government is keeping this an all Japanese affair. I'm thinking of maybe having a few of the Amakusa join the JSDF."
"It would take months of training and there is no guarantee that they'll be sent to this 'special region'."
"That is where I'm hoping you can help out. Maybe change some computer records?" asked the leader of Necessarius.
"I have a different idea, how about a joint mission. Of course you remember our mutual friend Tsuchimikado?"
"Oh what about him?" asked the blond woman. Motoharu Tsuchimikado was a double agent that worked with both the magical and scientific communities. He was also a known pervert.
"I have him currently leading a new team with both esper and magical operatives. I will contact the Japanese Government and offer them esper support for the Defense Force."
"Won't that be exposing some of your secrets?" asked Laura. "…and what about their age. Almost all your espers are under the age of seventeen?"
"The team will not be able to reveal anything too damaging. The government will just have to accept the age of the espers, but I'll add on a chaperon from Anti-skill just in case."
"Very well Necessarius will leave this in your hands for now. Tell Tsuchimikado I wish him luck in his mission."
In another part of Academy City:
"Okay people we have a new mission!" said a blond hair boy wearing shades and a Hawaiian print shirt. This boy was Motoharu Tsuchimikado, leader of GROUP.
"Oh, really? So what is our new mission?" asked a girl with dark red hair in long twin pigtails. This girl was a teleporter named Awaki Musujime.
"Tsk! whatever it is, it's probably going to be a pain in the ass," grumbled an albino boy in a white T-shirt and walking with a crutch. Despite his appearance this boy was the most powerful esper in Academy City, Accelerator.
"Now, now accelerator, who knows what new experiences await us," said a brown hair boy in neat cloths. This boy was actually a mage named Etzali.
"Oh we're definitely going to have some new experiences," said the Tsuchimikado. "Cause we're going to another planet!"
"WHAT!?"
Three weeks later:
GROUP, now known as the Esper Support Group, was riding in a truck through the gate. The entire group was now dressed in standard JSDF camouflage complete with body armor. In the past weeks the group had been reinforced with six girls that all looked alike. These were Sisters, clones of the number three level five Mikoto Misaka. There was also an older woman with long black hair. This woman was Aiho Yomikawa, an Anti-Skill lieutenant who was now the acting leader. Finally there was a teenager also with long black hair and a sword at her side that most of the team didn't recognized. Tsuchimikado had introduced her as Kaori Kanzaki. Both Motoharu and Etzali vouched for her, but the girl didn't seem to like Tsuchimikado much.
The newly expanded group were going to the Special Zone as part of a second group of reinforcements. They had been told to be ready for combat as soon as they arrived, as the JSDF on the other side had been attack several times earlier in the day. Most of the group was now armed curtesy of Academy City, with mostly weapons from Anti-Skill. The clones had the same weapons they were issued for the level six shift experiment. As they sat there Yomikawa brought attention to herself.
"Okay everyone there's a chance we might have to fight as soon as we exit the gate; make sure your weapon's loaded and ready. Once off the trucks you'll form into two fire teams. Tsuchimikado, Accelerator, and three sisters will form fire team one. Kanzaki, Etzali, and the remaining sisters will form fire team two if there's a battle going on head to the trenches."
"What am I doing?" asked Awaki.
"I want you going up and down the line. If you see any wounded, teleport them to the aid station," said Yomikawa. Suddenly the truck came to a stop. "Alright! Everybody off!"
As they all exited the truck, they saw several flares light up the night sky and heard several cannons firing. "Everyone to the trenches!"
The espers formed their teams and went in opposite directions. Accelerator, Tsuchimikado and the sisters arrived at the trench line to see a group of medieval soldiers with a large troll like creature in front. They had made it past the wire and were apparently using the troll as a bullet shield.
"The damn thing won't go down! We need a tank!" yelled one of the soldiers shooting at the creature.
"Tsk, I'll take care of it," said Accelerator turning his collar on and climbing out of the trench.
"HEY KID! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!?" yelled a sergeant. His eyes widen as he saw bullets and arrows bounce of the boy.
"Don't worry just watch," Tsuchimikado told the sergeant as Accelerator walked up to the troll. The troll, seeing the white hair boy, raised its arm to smash him into ground. Suddenly the massive arm stopped just short of the boy's head and the troll screamed as it suddenly found its arm broken. Accelerator then sneered. "You're outta of luck ya gruesome asshole! Have a nice flight!"
With that the white hair boy punched the troll in the stomach and sent it flying across the battlefield to land in the hills beyond. Seeing their troll so easily defeated the soldiers that were following it dropped their swords and ran away. "Ya you better run you bitches."
"Wow," the sergeant turned to Tsuchimikado. "Who are you kids anyway?"
"Us? We're the Esper Support Group."
In another part of the battlefield, Sergeant First Class Kurokawa was helping a soldier to the aid station. The soldier had been hit in the shoulder by a lone arrow that had come out of nowhere. Suddenly there was a teenage girl in front of her. "Who are you?"
"No time!" said the girl placing her hand on both kurokawa and the soldier. In an instant Kurokawa and her patient found themselves in the aid station. Turning to the girl, who couldn't be older than sixteen. "Girl, what are doing here?"
"I'm Awaki Musujime, one the espers sent by Academy City." Kurokawa could only blink as the girl suddenly vanished.
The next morning:
General Hazama was having his morning SITREP, with the other leaders of JSDF forces in the Special Region. "Gentlemen, this is Lieutenant Yomikawa, she is the leader of the Esper Support Group."
Yomikawa saluted, "Thank you sir, I look forward to working with all of you."
"I must say I didn't expect for the espers to be so…young," said Lieutenant Yanagida, the JSDF military intelligence officer.
"I'm afraid this is the best we can do age wise. All the espers in Academy City are young, but I can assure you the ones I brought can handle themselves."
"Well I'm convinced…" said Colonel Kamo, commander of the First Combat Team. "That Troll must have weighed 200 Kilos, but that white hair kid sent it flying like a football."
"You should have seen that samurai girl in action," said the commander of the Second Combat Team. "We had a group of those goblin creatures try to infiltrate the line. She took out all twenty of them in less than five seconds. And when I say took out, I mean she sliced and diced them like Sushi!"
"That teleporter girl was most useful at the aid station," said the officer in charge of the Medics.
"Well I sure we'll find more uses for them later," said the general. "Now let's start the briefing."
Later in another part of the base:
"Hey, Yomikawa wants us to unload our bags from the trucks," said Accelerator to the group of Misaka clones. He then led the clones to where the trucks were. As the girls started to unload the bags he suddenly grabbed one and pulled her to the side. "What the hell are you doing here!?"
"You brought us here to unload the bags, says Misa…"
"Don't even try it Third String! You don't have that same stupid blank look all those other dolls have, and I can feel more electro-magnetic waves coming off of you than all five of them combined!"
"Alright fine you got me," said Mikoto Misaka, the original girl the Sisters were cloned from and the number three level five in Academy City. "So what are you going to do about it, huh?"
"Hmm, I thought it was you," said Yomikawa walking up to them.
"How long have you known about this?" asked Accelerator.
""I had my suspicions since we left Tokyo. But they were confirmed this morning," answered the Anti-skill officer. "That Kanzaki girl told me of one the clones using a powerful beam attack last night. I figured it was the railgun. So what are you doing here?"
"I'm not going to sit around while my sisters get sent to an actual war zone. I know I can't help all of them, but even if it's just the five that are here I'll do whatever it takes!"
Yomikawa narrowed her eyes. "This isn't a game girl."
"I've been quite aware of that since last night, thank you!" Mikoto snapped back. Last night she had shot four enemy soldiers and blew up another six with her power. 'I've never had to use my power to kill people before,' she thought. Thankfully no one was there to see her throw up after the battle. Taking a deep breath she continued. "Look, you can't deny that you have a better chance of success with two level fives instead of one. I'm surprised Accelerator can even use his ability."
"Contrary to popular belief, I don't need to borrow a whole lot of computation power. The five clones here are more than enough."
"Oh really?" said the girl. "Anyway we have bigger stowaway problems."
"What are talking ab…," Yomikawa started to ask, before Mikoto suddenly pointed at one the clones and yell; "HEY YOU! Bring that bag here!"
Accelerator narrowed his eyes, as the clone walked up with one bags from the truck. "You got problem with my bag?"
"Tell me Accelerator, why is you bag emitting electro-magnetic waves similar to mine?"
"Electro-magnetic waves?" asked the white haired boy, before a vain suddenly popped up on his head. A vain that got bigger as he dumped his bag and out tumbled a small girl in a sundress.
"Owie! Says Misaka Misaka rubbing her head," said the smallest of the sisters rubbing her head.
"Last Order!" The little girl flinched before turning to see a snarling Accelerator. "What. The. HELL!?"
"I bumped my head and fell into the bag. Then you packed cloths on top me without knowing. Says Misaka Misaka thinking up an excuse on the fly," The girl then yelped as the white haired boy whacked her on the head. Mikoto rushed up to her.
"Hey don't hit her! Listen little sister, we're just worried this place is very dangerous," said Mikoto. Last Order for her part crossed her arms, closed her eyes, and turned away from her original.
"Oh come on! Don't be like that."
Accelerator blinked. For as long as he known her, Last Order had wanted to meet the original. Now she was pointedly ignoring the Rail Gun. "Okay, what's with the cold shoulder treatment?"
"Well…"
"In order to gain the weapons and combat skills necessary, Big Sister has finally joined the Network. Says Misaka starting her explanation," said Misaka 19901, the clone who had brought the bag over.
"Holy Crap, you became part of that hive mind of theirs!"
"Please, I'm just glad I'm not talking funny," said Mikoto, not that the other sisters hadn't tried to get her to do so.
"We will convert you yet Big Sister. Says Misaka forebodingly"
"Okay so what does this have to do with her behavior?" asked Yomikawa. "If I remember correctly, she been wanting Misaka to do that also."
"Big Sister is a very powerful esper and has not received the obedience programing from testament that the other Sisters have. As a level five, she is able to ignore and or override all of 20001's commands. She has already used this to stop 20001 from using Sisters in a number of pranks. Misaka says finishing her explanation."
"So in other words, you took her job as the boss," Accelerator laughed. "Way to go Third String."
"It isn't like I wanted usurp her. Besides the pranks would have gotten those Sisters in trouble, maybe even arrested. Anyway that's not important. What are we going to about this?"
"Actually this works very well. She'll be perfect for our next mission," said Tsuchimikado walking up to them. He then had to quickly back up as Accelerator turned on his collar and Mikoto started glowing blue with electricity. "Now, now, now, hear me out. She won't be in any danger, I swear!"
Mikoto glared at the blond haired boy. "It better be opening the puppy and kitten farm."
"I promise you she won't even leave the base. And she'll be punished for sneaking in by doing allot of writing."
"What? Says Misaka Misaka in worried confusion."
