It was just another typical day for one Kuroko Shirai at Judgment's 177th branch, well, that is until a report came in regarding some unusual seismic activity somewhere in Academy City.
Initially Kuroko thought it was energy spikes from Esper abilities, like with the poltergeist incidents from a few days ago.
However, this couldn't be the case, since Therestina was in custody.
And this would soon be determined, to not only not be a poltergeist incident, but in fact something much more unique.
Meanwhile, at Tokiwadai Middle School, me and Misaka, were currently in the schools library. And the reason for this? Well, we had both already finished our school work.
"Yes viewers, sorry, Keiko here. Now, did you all honestly really think, that being in the anime of A Certain Scientific Railgun, was just all fun and games? No, of course not, as after all viewers. There is in fact a very good reason, as to why me and Misaka, are often referred too, as the Aces Of Tokiwadai. Not just because of both of our current ranks as the third ranked level 5 Espers, in all of Academy City. But also, because we are both ace students, with regards to putting in the effort, to study. I mean after all viewers, we both didn't just become level 5 Espers by accident. In fact, as I am sure you read my bio information, from chapter 4. I, like that of Misaka, started out as a level 1 Esper, like everyone else. As in, we both had to earn our way into becoming level 5 Espers. Through both hard work, and dedication. Now, some of you, will probably wind up arguing, in an effort to contest, that I didn't earn my rank like that of Misaka, right? Well viewers, you have to remember, that I wound up in this body, by an act of...well...let's just call it an act of fate...shall we?..."
However, my fourth wall break, was then sort of cut short, by the arrival of three people to where we had been busy reading just a few moments ago. These were of course, Wannai, Awatsuki, and also, Mitsuko Kongo. As in, the very same Mitsuko Kongo, whom I had mentioned in the very first chapter of this fanfic. Only thing was, that after a bit of small talk among the five of us. I then, couldn't help, but overhear, a couple of the voices, of the surrounding students, mentioning something about another student, who was currently on the halfway landing on the libraries flight of stairs.
And, once I had turned my attention towards where they had been mentioning. I was then greeted, with a sight, that quite frankly, had me then suddenly become, quite unhappy with.
I mean, Misaki Shokuhou, another level 5 Esper of Tokiwadai Middle School, unlike me and Misaka, was quite honestly...what's the word...ah yes...arrogant...and very much full of herself.
The only thing was...well...
"Well, hello Misaka and Keiko..." The unmistakably annoying voice of Shokuhou said to me and Misaka, as she had made her way over to our table in the library, and proceeded to try, and strike up a conversation with the both of us. The only trouble was, from what I could see on Misaka's face, she wasn't exactly too happy, that Shokuhou, was bothering her at this very moment. And quite frankly, I wasn't exactly happy about it either.
"I said, hello Misaka and Keiko..." Shokuhou said to us both again, only this time, she had poked Misaka on her left arm, and then did the same to me, only it was on my right arm.
And to be honest, I was now starting, to get very annoyed.
"Shokuhou, don't you have anything else you can be doing at this moment?! Maybe not annoying the living daylights out of the both of us?!" I said, and although I had said it, in a somewhat hush-like tone, a tickmark was still now becoming present, on one side of my face.
"Oh Keiko sweetie, I didn't know that we were not acting like a lady...Lucky Strike?" Shokuhou said to me, in a somewhat sarcastically demeaning sounding manner. While she wound up using my epithet, as a sort of way, to try and get me to pop off in anger.
The good news was, that upon Shokuhou then taking in the currently less then pleased expression on Misaka's face, she then knew better, then try to press me any further with her taunting. Which not surprisingly, was then followed, by Misaka, then getting up from her seat.
"Listen you, what gives you the right...?!" Misaka began, only to then feel a hand on her right shoulder, and when she looked to me, she then noticed, that I was basically giving her an expression, as if to let her know that dealing with Shokuhou at this moment, just wasn't worth the headache.
I then turned my attention to Shokuhou, and then spoke up. While I still had my hand, on Misaka's right shoulder. "Misaki Shokuhou, the city's most powerful mental ability user, and the fifth ranked level 5 Esper, isn't that right...Mental Out?" I said, with a now all telling smirk on my face, while I took a little bit of pleasure, in saying one of Shokuhou's epithets, with a bit of disdain in my tone.
"So Shokuhou...do you really want to start this here?!...Because we both will if you're willing to start?!..." I said, now raising my voice, just a bit louder, as I now, had an absolutely displeased look of anger, on my face.
"Oh, well, though that would be a good fight, I don't think that it would be fair, as a matter of fact..." Shokuhou said, as she reached into her purse, and then pulled out what looked like a television remote. Which, after she had clicked one of its many buttons, I then took immediate notice, as all the other students in the library, then stood up, as they looked like they, were all in trance like states.
"Why not fight against all of our lovely students as well...Lucky Strike?" Shokuhou once again said, as she once again used my epithet, in yet another bit, to try to get me, just that much more upset.
"Just kidding..." Shokuhou said, as she then pressed the same button on her remote, which effectively cut the connection, between her remote, and the students. And this was confirmed, by all the students, then snapping out of their trance-like states.
"I see that you haven't changed, the way that you abuse your ability is still depraved," Misaka said.
"Just consider this a warning to the both of you, k?" Shokuhou said, while she wound up pointing at the both of us, with a sort of shooting gesture, only for her to raise her pointing finger, and her hand, slightly upwards, as if imitating her firing a gun at the both of us. And she did so, while making an emphasis, on the word 'k?'
A little while later, out on the streets of Academy City. Following the run-in with Misaki Shokuhou at the library at Tokiwadai. Me and Misaka were now walking down one of Academy City's many busy streets, that is, until we felt a tremor that seemed to be coming from somewhere nearby.
"Wait, is this a poltergeist? It can't be, Therestina is in custody! So what the heck is this?" I fearfully thought to myself.
"Keiko, you need to pull yourself together, we need to find out where it's coming from," Misaka said to me.
"Right Misaka, right behind you," I said, as we took off in the direction to where we thought the tremor was originating from.
Only, when we happened upon an alley, there was nothing unusual there.
That is, until a portal opened up in front of us, and several figures were thrown through it.
"What the heck?!" I said, clearly shocked from what had just happened.
And then I recognized one of them, no scratch that, I recognized all but one of them.
What sort of twist of fate had found me and Misaka face to face with all of the Sailor Senshi, and all of the Love Angels.
Apparently this is what Setsuna had meant by me and Misaka preparing ourselves.
Because I would assume that this fight must have been very important, if these two groups were working together.
And it wasn't until they all got their bearings, that the one girl that I didn't recognize.
Who now that I realized, had the same hairstyle as I did, and looked exactly like me, minus the sword that she held in her left hand, the outfit that she wore, and her eyes being light blue instead of brown, then decided to speak up.
"Is everyone okay? Sis, are you alright?" She asked the girl with the pink hair with a look of concern on her face.
"Yea sis, I'm fine, but I'm going to be feeling that for a while," the pink haired girl said with a halfhearted laugh, as she rubbed her bottom.
"Okay, sorry to interrupt this moment between the two of you, but are you Wedding Peach by any chance?" I asked the pink haired girl, as I approached her, with some nervousness.
"Wait a sec Keiko, you know her?" Misaka asked me.
I then turned my attention back to Misaka.
And it was then that I realized, that I couldn't really tell her the truth about why I knew all of them, well, all but one of them.
Not only would she not believe me, but it would quickly turn this into a very awkward and also very bad situation very quickly.
I mean, how would you feel if you told your favorite characters that they were fictional and they were part of tv shows that had been enjoyed by millions of people? Actually, you know what, seeing as how both me and Misaka can break the fourth wall, it wouldn't wind up being that bad, but it would still be bad nonetheless.
So I did the best possible thing I could possibly do in this situation, I told as much of the truth as I possibly could, while at the same time lying slightly.
"Misaka, do you remember when we were watching Dr. Kiyama's recovering children give her that birthday message via that blimp?" I asked her.
"Yea, what about it?" Misaka asked.
"Well Misaka, I guess now is more of a time as any to tell you, since the proof is in front of us now. The reason why I know who all of them are, is because one of them happens to be the very person that I crossed paths with. Sailor Pluto, if there was ever a time for you to speak up, now would be a good time to for you to do so, because I think you have something that you need to tell everyone," I said, turning my attention to her.
This, not surprisingly, caught the attention of everyone that was present in the alley, except for Sailor Pluto herself.
It was then that me and Misaka heard two voices, that seemed to be coming from above us.
And when the two of us looked up, we saw three people, two of which had wings on their backs, and all looked to be a bit younger then me and Misaka.
But the most shocking part about them, was that one of them looked shockingly like I had looked like back in the real world, albeit a bit younger.
The other two, I also recognized, and then realized that this was going to be very very interesting.
''So, the Love Angels, the Senshi, and now Sakura Avalon, the master of the clow cards herself now graces us with her presence, and if I had to take an educated guess, that kid that looks quite a lot like me from back in the real world...Given that he wields the same staff as Sakura, albeit a different color...I can only assume that he's me, except that version of me wound up becoming something that I never thought would ever be possible...That version of me is a Cardcaptor?!...Then that would mean that the girl with the light blue hair that I didn't recognize...oh god...she's me as a Love Angel?!" I thought to myself as I slowly started to realize that I was staring at two other versions of myself, from two different anime dimensions.
Both of which not only had powers that equaled the main characters in their worlds, but the Love Angel version of me seemed to be allied with someone that I never thought to be possible.
And on top of all of this, she was in her highest form, her Eternal Sailor Moon form.
It was then that I realized, that this, would wind up being the start, of a beautiful friendship.
After things in the alley had transpired, and all of the introductions had been done.
Me and Misaka, along with everyone else.
Who obviously had powered down, so as to not draw any unwanted attention to themselves.
And after Sailor Pluto had explained the situation to all of us in the alley, that apparently the entity, known as Chaos, was returning quite a lot earlier then expected, and we would be seeing an unknown number of some of our enemies making an unfortunate return.
This didn't seem to bother us though, since Therestina was in custody, and we didn't seem to currently have any enemies that currently wanted us dead.
So this begged the question, why did Sailor Pluto need our help?
I guess these enemies really were bad enough that it required more than just them to get this done.
Anyways, it was while we were all walking down one of the not crowded streets one of them was suggesting to another on their next plan of action.
However, before she could say anything else, multiple portals opened up on the sidewalk, beneath everyone, causing everyone to disappear through them, and out of sight.
And this, was now the final step, on the road to what would be the final battle.
That would not just decide the fate of Academy City, but of 2 other dimensions as well.

Seconds seemed to tick by, as Limone waited patiently in Aphrodite's throne room for everyone else to appear, he only hoped, that given the circumstances, that things would not be as hopeless as they currently seemed.
And from what he and Aphrodite had already witnessed, they were going to need all of the help they could get, and with those who were already currently there, and with those about to arrive, he only hoped that it would be enough, for all of them to win the day.
He just hoped that from what Sailor Pluto had foreseen, things would hopefully turn out okay.
And when several portals opened up in front of him, spitting out 19 people, 5 of which he recognized immediately, and 14 of which he did not.
But he could only assume, that from what he sensed, that they were also just like the other 5, he knew that things were about to get a whole lot more interesting.
Date: August 9, 2009
Meanwhile, back in Academy City, in a lab, a man by the name of Gensei Kihara stood in a large wide open room, and he seemed to be waiting for something, or rather someone.
And sure enough, as if on queue, quite a few figures of various sizes spawned out of thin air.
"Ah I see that you have all returned, so tell me Raindevila and Galaxia, have they made it into the city?" Gensei asked, his usual evil smirk now present on his face.
However, he originally wasn't alone in the large wide open room.
Quite a few other individuals had already been there before Raindevila, Joker and Galaxia had arrived there.
And it was at this point, that several of them had decided to speak up.
"Forget about that Gensei, how much longer are we supposed to wait until I get to make those love angels pay?!" Pluie said, with severe anger and malign intent present in his tone.
"Pluie, would you pipe down, you are really starting to get on my nerves!" Jadeite fumed, clearly not at all amused with the fact that Pluie had been going on and on about how he very much wanted to make the love angels pay.
"You can't talk to him like that Jadeite, it's bad manners...don't you know?" Potamos answered back, followed by her usual verbal tic.
"Potamos, when I want your opinion, I'll ask for it, is that clear enough for you?!" Jadeite angrily responded back.
"Frankly, in my honest opinion, the three of you are all being quite irritating, why don't you all just do us a favor, and just stop bickering!?" Tigers eye said, now quite fed up with the bickering between the three of them.
"Silence!" Galaxia said.
This immediately caused the bickering between the four of them to stop.
"Need I remind the four of you, as well as the rest of us, that we all share a common enemy," Galaxia said, obviously not amused with the bickering.
"And if I may follow up Galaxia, we all have a good chance of getting what we want," Queen Nehellenia said, an evil smirk present on her face.
"So what is it that you're suggesting, Queen Nehellenia?" Nephrite asked.
"She is suggesting that we all work together, or did you not realize that from what Galaxia had said?" Zoisite said to Nephrite as he facepalmed. (A/N: Yes Zoisite is a male in this, just like in the original anime, Fish Eye is also a male. Gotta keep true to who they are, villains or not. Btw, two of the villains that are present, are going to soon learn, that withholding vital information can sometimes get you killed. And no it is not ooc for either of them either).
"So it is settled then," Hawks eye said.
"The only question now is?" Kaolinite said.
"Where to settle this?" Petora said.
"And where shall they all take their final breaths?" Eudial said.
"One of the parks in the city shall do quite nicely, don't you think?" Mimete suggested.
"Yes, that should do quite nicely indeed," Queen Beryl said.
This was then followed by everyone present letting out an evil laugh.
This, was going to be one hell of a tough final fight.
Actually, not really.
But more on that in a little bit.
