EDIT: 26/03/2013

I've slightly edited Chapter 1 and 3 plotwise. There isn't really any major changes other than to fix some plot issues.

If you're reading this, I thank you for giving my story a chance by deciding to click on it due to my awesome summary that sucked you in. (jk)

Do review as always if you've got anything to say about the story. :D

EDIT: 17/04/2013

I made Chapter 1 to 7 much more logical by doing a slight plot change.

Plot change: Kaworu has a plan to save Shinji, but as we all know, plans do not translate well into reality. Future chapters will be built upon this idea.

Thanks for reading as always :)

"And I was hoping I could finish the manga. Pity."

As he ran through the back alleys late at night, he glanced over his shoulder.

There were eight of them.

All according to the script.

Yes, it was July 19th, and the "fault" lay in that date.

Since summer break would start the next day, Kamijou Touma was in such high spirits that he grabbed a manga from the bookstore, entered a family restaurant to treat himself and found a middle school-aged girl surrounded by clearly drunk delinquents, and decided that some rescuing was in order.

Except that it was no longer Kamijou Touma, but Kaworu Nagisa who did all of these. If Kaworu had a choice, certainly he would choose to finish the manga instead of rescuing the girl... or rather the eight person that was currently chasing him right now.

Either way, in order to be sure that he'd meet a certain someone that is crucial in his plan to save Shinji, he had to follow the script.

After running for more than 2 kilometers, Kaworu ran out from the back alley and into the moonlit street.

Even if Academy City were as large as a third of Tokyo, he could see nothing but couples no matter where he looked. The three blades of the wind turbines located here and there throughout the area glittered in the pale moonlight and the lights of the city nightscape made them look like the tears of rich bachelors.

Exactly like how it was scripted, Kaworu thought. No strange deviations should be expected then.

Following Touma's strategy, he would let them catch occasional glimpses of him as bait so that they would continue to run and wear themselves out. It was akin to letting boxers hit you to weaken them.

Touma's goal was only to save any possible victims.

If he could lose them and have them give up without getting into a fistfight, he would win.

Kaworu smirked a little. Very clever. You are a smart guy, Touma.

As he alternated and weaved in and out through roads and back alleys while seemingly running about in a panic, he saw one and then another of the delinquents drop out of the chase, leaning forward with their hands on their knees.

Perfect. Another two more kilometers from running, he would exit the urban area and come to a large river with a large metal bridge that spanned the river. He looked forward to meeting the girl who would be at the bridge.

"Hey! You fucking brat! Stop, you master runner!"

Kaworu thought. Do you know I could run forever without stopping? I suppose that would be what the Lilins here define as ESPer abilities?

Finally, he arrived at the bridge.

It was about 150 meters across and no cars could be seen on it. Not lit up, the plain metal bridge was wrapped in darkness much like a midnight sea.

Kaworu glanced back as he darted across the bridge.

He then stopped: at some point, he had escaped all of his pursuers.

Perfect.

Now the girl should appear anytime soon.

"Really now, what are you doing? Do you think protecting those delinquents makes you a good person? Are you some overzealous teacher?"

Because the bridge had no lights, Kaworu had not noticed the girl standing about 5 meters ahead in the direction he had been running, a completely normal middle school girl wearing a gray pleated skirt, a short-sleeved blouse, and a summer sweater. The girl before him was the same one from the family restaurant.

"I don't understand. Is there a difference?"

"Of course. They are bad people and people like you... should be punished together with them as well."

The zapping sound of bluish-white sparks echoed. Rather than a stun gun, as her shoulder-length brown hair swayed, sparks flew from it like an electrode.

The moment a convenience store bag in the wind passed by her head, it was blown away by bluish-white sparks reminiscent of an interception device.

She sent a lightning beam from her palm towards Kaworu which he waved it away with his right hand.

"There. I cannot allow anyone to be more powerful than me. That is enough of a reason.

"But you're also treating me like an idiot. I'm a Level 5. Do you really think I would go all out against a powerless Level 0? I do know how to handle the weak."

In that city, the usual standard of a back alley delinquent being the strongest in a fight did not hold up. Those delinquents who could not keep up with the psychic powers development curriculum were the Level 0s, the powerless.

The truly strong in that city, the top-tier students, were ESPers.

Kaworu decided that he would have some fun trying to recite some of Touma's line.

"Yeah, about that, I do understand that you possess a talent that only 1 in 328,571 have. I really do. But if you want to live a long life, you should stop speaking to people so condescendingly."

"Shut up. If you couldn't bend a single spoon after having various crazy things done to you like have drugs injected directly into your blood vessels or have electrodes stabbed in through your ears and into the brain, what could it be but lack of talent?"

"…"

Maybe the 'you should stop speaking to people so condescendingly.' was a bit too harsh. I should have showered some compliments inside. Kaworu thought.

That was indeed the kind of place Academy City was.

The other side of Academy City could be seen in how means of developing the brain had been calmly added into the Curriculum under the name of "documentation methods" or "memorization methods".

However, not all of the 2.3 million students living in Academy City had ceased to be human and became something like a manga protagonist.

Just under 60% of the whole population were utterly useless Level 0s who could only bend a spoon after focusing their brain to the point of blood vessel bursts.

"If I need to bend a spoon, I can just use pliers, and if I need fire, I can just buy a cheap lighter. Also, what do I need telepathy for when I have a cell phone? Are psychic powers really that great?

"And everyone's priorities are all messed up. They're all rejoicing over the by-product we call psychic powers, but isn't our real objective something beyond that?"

Kaworu wanted her to fire a railgun since he was curious about it, thus he decided to recite the same lines that Touma did, up till the railgun part.

In response, the girl who was one of Academy City's seven Level 5s twisted the edges of her lips.

"Hahh? …Oh, that. What was it again? Something like, 'Humans cannot calculate god, so we need to acquire a body that exceeds humanity before we can arrive at god's answer', right?"

The girl gave a haughty laugh.

"Don't make me laugh. What is all this about the 'brain of god'? Did you know that my DNA map was analyzed and military Sisters were created based on it? It seems to me these lucrative side effects are more important than that objective."

"Those are the words of the strong."

In the silence, it felt as if the quality of the air was changing.

Kaworu continued. "Those are the fearless and cruel words of somebody who was born with his abilities and does not understand the pain of arriving there on his own."

The river below the bridge began to make an unsettling amount of noise.

A dark flame could be felt on the grit of her words that hinted at just how much of her humanity she had abandoned to arrive at the position of one of Academy City's seven Level 5s.

"I'm just a Level 0... though you're a Level 5. Relax."

Academy City's powers development heavily used things such as pharmaceutics, neuroscience, and cerebral physiology. It was a purely scientific endeavor. After undergoing the Curriculum to a certain extent, one could bend a spoon even without talent.

And yet Kamijou Touma could do nothing.

According to Academy City's instruments, he was truly powerless.

Kaworu wondered if his A.T field can be considered as an ESPer ability. Maybe a Level 5 as well? That would be interesting... but here, he technically existed as Kamijou Touma so perhaps just like him, the machine would not be able to detect anything, classifying him as powerless.

"Zero, you say," repeated the girl as if she was turning it over in her mouth. She stuck a hand in her skirt pocket and pulled out an arcade coin. "After so long, I just realised. Have you ever heard of the term Railgun?"

"Hmm?"

Kaworu sliently squealed with joy. Finally, he would get to see the railgun in action.

"The idea behind it is the same as a linear motor train. It is a ship-borne weapon that uses powerful electromagnets to fire a metal projectile."

The girl flicked the coin up into the air with her thumb. The coin rotated a few times before landing back onto her thumb.

"It refers to something like this."

Just as she spoke, an orange spear of light suddenly and silently shot past Kaworu's head. It was more like a laser than a spear. He could only tell it had originated from the girl's thumb because the afterimage of light stretched back to it.

Almost like thunder, the noise rumbled in with a slight delay and a shockwave tore through the air around his ears. Unlike Touma who partially lost his sense of balance, causing him to stagger, Kaworu remained stable and glanced over his shoulder.

"So that's a railgun, very impressive I must say."

The instant the orange light struck the road surface on the bridge, the asphalt was blown away like an airplane making an emergency landing on the ocean. Even after travelling a 30 meter path of utter destruction and stopping, the orange afterglow was still burning the air like an afterimage.

"You know, even a coin like this can be quite powerful when it's fired at three times the speed of sound. Of course, the coin melts after 50 meters because of air friction."

That bridge made of steel and concrete swayed like an unreliable suspension bridge. Failing metal bolts could be heard occasionally.

"So... You used that to punish them?"

"Don't be stupid. I match my methods to my opponent. I don't want to accidentally become a murderer." As she spoke, sparks flew from the girl's brown hair like an electrode. "This was enough for those Level 0s."

Bluish-white sparks now flew from the girl's bangs like a horn and a spear-like line of lightning flew towards Kaworu.

He calmly held his right hand up to his face, allowing the lightning spear to strike it. It rampaged through Kaworu's body and sparks scattered in every direction and into the bridge's steel framework.

Or so it seemed.

"So, why are you completely unhurt?"

Her words seemed lighthearted enough, but the girl was glaring at Kaworu.

Yes, this is because of the Imagine Breaker, a power that stuck with Kaworu as a result of existing as Touma.

Any supernatural power, even if it were part of god's system, would be negated without question by that power of Kamijou Touma.

As it was supernatural in origin, even that girl's Railgun ability was no exception.

"Honestly, what's with you? That power of yours isn't listed in Academy City's Bank. If I'm a one in 328,571 genius, then you're a one in 2,300,000 disaster," the girl muttered in annoyance but Kaworu chose to not give even a single word in response. "If I pick a fight with an exception like that, I might be able to raise my level, don't you think?"

"But you never win."

He received a response in the form of more lightning that shot from her forehead, well over mach one at that.

However, it scattered in every direction the instant it met Kaworu's right hand.

It was very much like a water balloon bursting.

Kaworu had already accepted his fate that he could no longer manifest his A.T field due to the presence of that pesky Imagine Breaker.

"I guess you could say that was either some misfortune or you're just unlucky."

That was how Kamijou Touma brought that day, July 19th, to an end. And somehow, Kaworu Nagisa.

"You just really aren't lucky at all."

Kamijou Touma awoke to an unfamiliar celling of a hospital ward. Normally, there would be just a single fluorescent lighting but this time it was two. Even the smell was different. Perhaps his usual ward was finally occupied by someone else other than him.

The Roman Catholic Church's ritual in Academy City that involved the Spear of Longinus to attain powers equal to the Imagine Breaker itself summoned an Angel instead.

According to Index, his designated name is Tabris, the Angel of Free Will and the vessel of Adam.

People in Academy City started to melt into liquid one by one as the floating, huge red sphere in the centre of the city that the smiling Angel under the soft moonlight was sitting on grew bigger and bigger. Apparently, not even the church understood the true nature of Spear of Longinus.

Since that angel belonged to another universe, much is unknown about him, other than the fact that this phenomenon of people turning into liquid is known vaguely as Instrumentality; the forced evolution of humanity.

The basis is that this would create an existence where nobody existed singularly, but merely as part of the whole, hence, the flaws in every living being would be complemented by the strengths in others, erasing the insecurities in people's hearts.

SYSTEM would theorically be achieved since this would create a single being that surpasses humans.

But Touma would not accept this, if Instrumentality was the final destination of God's will, then he must first shatter that illusion.

Thus, his decision to bring forth his right hand to punch that angel and he disappeared with a single touch of his hand.

He had negated Instrumentality and the angel itself with the Imagine Breaker.

A brief moment later, it felt like a vacuum cleaner that was sucking all of Touma's consciousness and slowly, he blacked out, but at least he knew that once again, another disaster had been averted.

Looking around his ward, he realized that there were more machines that was attached to his body. Other than that, there is no difference between his usual ward and the new ward.

"How badly was I hurt..." Touma said as he noted that the machines attached to him were not of Academy City, based on his extensive knowledge of the apparatuses in the hospital since he's a regular.

Just then, he heard a soft knock on the door.

"Ikari, are you okay?"

A girl who wore a dark green sundress with a white blouse underneath softly spoke as she stood beside him.

Touma looked at the pale skinned girl close to an albino with blue, cropped hair quizzically. He was half-expecting a certain Misaka Mikoto to rush beside him worriedly instead.

"Did you get the wrong room or something...?"

"Ikari Shinji. Ward 407. This cannot be the wrong room."

Perhaps the hospital staff mixed him up with another guy, and it just so happen that this Ikari Shinji resembled him so much that people might just mistake the both of them as twins. Such misfortune.

"Look, I'm Kamijou Touma and perhaps Ikari Shinji is now waiting for you in another ward."

"Did you lose your memory from that battle?"

"Ah?"

He was certain that he still remembered everyone clearly, from a certain July 24th onwards when he tried to save Index from getting her memory erased. Touma wondered if that 'battle' referred to this incident.

"Do you still remember who I am?"

This could be someone that I once knew before I lost my memories, Touma thought.

Observing the girl once more, he tried to look for any special features on that girl which might give him a clue about her relationship with him. Nothing. While the sundress she was wearing looked somewhat like the school uniforms in Academy City, but he had no idea which school she might be from.

"Haha... Yeah, you're from the same class as me, right? Thanks for visiting me."

He hoped the bluff worked, but given his misfortune, it often backfired.

"... My name is Ayanami Rei. This is a hospital in Tokyo-3."

She turned away with a sad look in her eyes and walked out of the ward.

Touma wondered who could that Ayanami Rei be.

Accelerator was the only albino that he personally knew of... other than that, nobody else.

And then, Kamijou Touma realized one thing.

Academy City's technology is 30 years ahead of its time, there is no reason why he should be sent to a hospital in Tokyo-3. Besides that, there is no Tokyo-3 in the entire map of Japan.

But if he's here in Tokyo-3, and assuming that the girl didn't lie, there could be only one conclusion.

Somehow, when he negated Instrumentality, he got sucked into another dimension.

In his life, there had been many misfortunate incidents that he got himself into. If this wasn't the worst, what could be even worst than that?

"SUCH MISFORTUNE!"

Author's note: Well, this is just an idea that I left it to mature for a few days after it popped out of my mind during a class.

Hope you guys enjoy the story :)
