[00:31] ---
In the midst of
the Daihasei Festival,
[00:32] ---
Oriana Thomson continues her
flight across Academy City.
[00:35] ---
As myself and Stiyl give chase,
we're shown up by her,
[00:38] ---
while Tsuchimikado is picked off.
[00:41] ---
Even Himegami, who just happened
to be standing there, was set upon.
[00:45] ---
Damn it! Oriana,
I swear, you'll pay for this!

Belvedere (The Observatory)
[02:29] ---
Damn it!
[02:35] ---
Tsuchimikado? Sorry,
but I lost sight of Oriana.
[02:38] ---
Do you have any idea where
she might have been headed?
[02:43] ---
This bus appears to circle
around School District 7,
[02:46] ---
but where she might
get off is... hold on a sec.
[02:49] ---
What is it, Kami?
[02:53] ---
Say, why is Oriana
walking around town?
[02:57] ---
Huh? Well, because
we keep chasing after her--
[02:59] ---
No, before that.
[03:01] ---
If there's no deal for the Croce di Pietro,
[03:04] ---
then it isn't to meet anyone, right?
[03:06] ---
So then, her strolling around the city
[03:08] ---
is just going to increase her risk, isn't it?
[03:10] ---
If that's the case,
[03:12] ---
it means that there's a reason
why Oriana is acting all by herself.
[03:16] ---
What reason?
[03:17] ---
I don't know that much,
but she may have been searching
[03:21] ---
for the conditions they
need to use the Croce di Pietro.
[03:24] ---
Conditions?
[03:25] ---
There has to be some special
circumstance, or they can't use it?
[03:28] ---
I asked Stiyl to check into that for us.
[03:31] ---
Now that you mention it,
he forwarded me an email from Orsola.
[03:34] ---
I'll send it to you, too.
[03:48] ---
I read it, Kami. It appears
to be a record dealing with
[03:53] ---
the cleaning of the vault
the Croce di Pietro was in.
[03:55] ---
So, what did it say?
[03:58] ---
When the Croce di Pietro was stored,
[04:00] ---
they were neurotically sensitive
about not letting any light hit it.
[04:04] ---
Light?
[04:05] ---
They must have been trying to
keep it from inadvertently activating.
[04:09] ---
Which would mean that
it activates when the sun hits it?
[04:11] ---
If that's true, then she
would have already done so.
[04:15] ---
Also, it says to finish the
cleaning during the daytime.
[04:19] ---
So then, time doesn't enter into it.
[04:21] ---
Nope.
[04:22] ---
However, there was apparently a
problem with the caretakers.
[04:26] ---
They would use horoscopes to
do astrology while on duty.
[04:31] ---
Astrology? If they did their
cleaning during the daytime,
[04:35] ---
it was nighttime light they were wary of.
[04:37] ---
In other words, it was the stars.
[04:40] ---
Indeed. By enlisting the figures
in the night sky into magical arrays,
[04:45] ---
they could obtain an
enormous amount of power.
[05:04] ---
If the Croce di Pietro acts like an antenna
to collect the light of the night sky,
[05:10] ---
that would mean Oriana is
out looking for the optimum spot
[05:13] ---
in which to set up an antenna.
[05:15] ---
But Peter died on June 29th.
[05:20] ---
Moreover, Japan's latitude and longitude
[05:22] ---
isn't the same as the Vatican's.
[05:24] ---
If they can't overcome those problems,
[05:26] ---
it rules out the constellation use theory.
[05:29] ---
But, we don't have any
more time to think about it.
[05:33] ---
Let's just get moving.
[05:35] ---
If we work under the assumption
that they are using constellations,
[05:37] ---
then our time limit would have to be...
[05:39] ---
Sundown? Well, what should I do?
[05:43] ---
Toma!
[05:48] ---
What are you doing up here?
[05:51] ---
I-Index?!
[06:01] ---
It looks like Kanzaki Kaori
isn't here after all.
[06:15] ---
Lidvia...
[06:16] ---
I know what you're going to say.
[06:18] ---
The girl that you engaged
was an ordinary civilian.
[06:23] ---
Her name is Himegami Aisa.
[06:26] ---
Despite possessing an
extremely significant power,
[06:29] ---
she is not particularly a magician.
[06:32] ---
That Celtic cross was nothing more
[06:33] ---
than an accessory to keep
her power under wraps,
[06:36] ---
and she is not the least bit aggressive.
[06:40] ---
How awful...
[06:42] ---
Truly awful, indeed.
[06:44] ---
We have struck out at a civilian
[06:46] ---
who had nothing to do with this operation.
[06:48] ---
And this makes it twice.
[06:50] ---
They are sinners who stray,
do wrong, and seek salvation,
[06:54] ---
who we are to protect.
[06:57] ---
We must not make any more mistakes.
[07:00] ---
For her sake, we must
use the Croce di Pietro,
[07:05] ---
and bring Academy City under our control.
[07:09] ---
I'm not so sure everything
is going to work out.
[07:12] ---
By placing Academy City
within our hands,
[07:15] ---
will all of everyone's problems
really be solved?
[07:19] ---
Toma, why aren't you
with everyone else in your class?
[07:23] ---
You haven't competed in any
events all afternoon, huh? Why not?
[07:26] ---
O-Oh, I was helping out
with the steering committee.
[07:30] ---
That's weird. I sent a text
out to the guys in my class.
[07:34] ---
A text?
[07:35] ---
Maybe I didn't have any service.
[07:37] ---
Or maybe the signal
didn't reach the service center.
[07:41] ---
I-In any case, Index,
you go back to where the others are.
[07:45] ---
Toma, Toma, they said
next up is group gymnastics.
[07:49] ---
Will you be there?
[07:51] ---
Yes, I will. I'll finish up my
assistance as quick as I can.
[07:55] ---
I'm gonna be there. So will
you wait for me there, Index?
[08:02] ---
Mm-hmm!
[08:08] ---
Sorry about that, Kami.
[08:13] ---
Let's finish up our assistance quick.
[08:19] ---
On the other hand,
[08:20] ---
with this many people around...
[08:22] ---
"Wait up!"
[08:24] ---
says Misaka Misaka, catching up.
[08:27] ---
Hmm?
[08:28] ---
"What's the problem? Misaka was
only looking at the souvenirs!"
[08:32] ---
says Misaka Misaka by way of protest.
[08:35] ---
Misaka?
[08:39] ---
Hello? Stiyl?
[08:42] ---
I've finished treating the schoolgirl.
[08:44] ---
How is Himegami?!
[08:45] ---
I don't even want to
have to use that spell again.
[08:49] ---
For the time being,
we've kept her from going into shock.
[08:52] ---
It's the doctor's job from here on, though.
[08:55] ---
Hey, man...
[08:56] ---
Huh? What's with the wussified voice?
[08:59] ---
I have no intention
of getting chummy with--
[09:03] ---
I still haven't told you thank you.
[09:07] ---
If you hadn't been here, Himegami
would've... Himegami would've...
[09:14] ---
Stop that. We're still not certain
that she's going to survive.
[09:17] ---
Even so, I... I...
[09:20] ---
Sounds like you're busy,
so I'll catch you later.
[09:22] ---
Call Tsuchimikado!
[09:25] ---
It sounds like he's onto something.
I'm heading there, too,
[09:28] ---
once I can get away from this lady!
[09:39] ---
Looks like I was right after all.
[09:42] ---
In which case, what do
we do with this discrepancy?
[09:52] ---
Ah, Fukiyose?
[09:54] ---
Are you feeling any better?
[09:56] ---
I'm doing fine.
[09:58] ---
But never mind me, are there
any problems at the Daihasei Festival?
[10:01] ---
As it happens, Himegami is in a real fix.
[10:04] ---
Don't tell me those idiots
did something again!
[10:07] ---
Actually, she was attacked
by someone, and taken to the hospital.
[10:11] ---
Attacked?!
[10:13] ---
If Kamijo and his
friend hadn't been there,
[10:15] ---
things may have turned out a lot worse.
[10:19] ---
Ah, the priest just went by!
[10:21] ---
Mr. Priest!
[10:23] ---
Huh? A priest?
[10:29] ---
What exactly is going on in this city?
[10:34] ---
Okay...
[10:35] ---
So sure enough, the constellations
hold the key to activating it.
[10:39] ---
Yeah, but, it was summer when
the Croce di Pietro was used before.
[10:44] ---
I doubt they can substitute the
autumn constellations.
[10:48] ---
There's something else here.
Some gimmick that we haven't figured out.
[10:53] ---
But we don't have any
more time to kick it around.
[11:00] ---
The English Puritan Church?
[11:02] ---
Am I reaching the cell phone
of Mr. Stiyl Magnus?
[11:06] ---
A wrong number?!
[11:07] ---
I am so terribly sorry!
[11:09] ---
Wait, that voice--is that you, Orsola?
[11:12] ---
Oh, my, then you must be...
[11:15] ---
Thank you for all your help earlier.
[11:17] ---
Thanks to you, I am fitting
right in around here--
[11:20] ---
Say, if you have something
to report, could you hurry it up?
[11:25] ---
Why, yes, the other day,
[11:26] ---
Miss Kanzaki showed me where
this delicious Japanese restaurant is--
[11:30] ---
I mean, tell us whatever
information you've discovered already!
[11:33] ---
Right. I have learned more
about the conditions needed
[11:37] ---
to use the Croce di Pietro.
[11:40] ---
It is said to be some
kind of large-scale fixture
[11:43] ---
for using the power of the constellations.
[11:45] ---
Sorry, but we already knew that.
[11:48] ---
Oh, is that right?
[11:50] ---
Well then, you must also know that
[11:52] ---
it can freely activate anywhere
in the world, regardless of season.
[11:58] ---
When I found that together with Miss Sherry,
[12:01] ---
I thought we at long last had something.
[12:02] ---
Just a second.
What are you talking about?
[12:06] ---
In order to use the Croce di Pietro,
[12:08] ---
one must have a firm grasp of
the area where it will be employed,
[12:11] ---
and then select the most fitting
of eighty-eight constellations for that area,
[12:16] ---
before the conditions
to activate it can be achieved.
[12:20] ---
Which would mean...
[12:22] ---
Yes, while there are various restrictions,
[12:26] ---
practically speaking, control by the
[12:29] ---
Roman Orthodox Church is possible
anywhere in the entire world.
[12:32] ---
Wha--?
[12:33] ---
We're starting to get it. You mean
that Peter allows a lot of latitude
[12:37] ---
in the location of his martyrdom.
[12:39] ---
But even if they chose a location,
what about the time?
[12:43] ---
St. Peter was put to death on June 29th.
[12:47] ---
That is the precise
date when the Croce di Pietro
[12:49] ---
was used at the Vatican.
[12:52] ---
You mean they intentionally
took it on that date?
[12:55] ---
They were prepared to die for it.
[12:57] ---
It's not such an impossible tale.
[12:59] ---
So, Orsola, have you found
out at what location they would use
[13:03] ---
the Croce di Pietro in
Japan today, September 19th?
[13:08] ---
Yes.
[13:08] ---
"A Certain Magical Index II"
[13:09] ---
But of course I have found that out.
[13:14] ---
"A Certain Magical Index II"
[13:18] ---
Wow! Look, look, Mikoto!
[13:20] ---
A quasi-five-dimensional kaleidoscope!
[13:23] ---
Heh, how fascinating!
[13:25] ---
Stay away from those shady goods.
[13:27] ---
Pick something that will be more memorable.
[13:30] ---
Oh, you are being so girly.
[13:33] ---
Y-You be quiet, you dumb mother!
[13:37] ---
I-I know the clammy feel of that gaze...
[13:41] ---
S-Sissy, is that lady
a member of your family?
[13:49] ---
Wow! What is this...?
[13:51] ---
This... hyperinflated version
of Sissy's aura...?
[13:56] ---
D-Damn it, if that is how it is,
then I will psych myself up,
[14:01] ---
and have the both of you bring it on!
[14:05] ---
Whoa, Kuroko, are you...?
[14:08] ---
Mikoto, does your girliness
swing that way, as well?
[14:11] ---
Huh? N-No!
[14:14] ---
Come on, Kuroko! Hurry and
snap back to reality!
[14:18] ---
--Geez, wake up, you!
--S-Sissy!
[14:20] ---
Good morning! Good morning!
[14:25] ---
Oh, that boy...
[14:27] ---
So, the reason why
Oriana was walking around
[14:30] ---
was because she was seeing
whether that location would work?
[14:33] ---
Yeah. Everywhere we've been up to now
[14:36] ---
has had buildings or roadside
trees blocking out the sky.
[14:39] ---
That leaves only one point.
[14:41] ---
I'm sure she will be going there.
[14:44] ---
The experimental airport
in School District 23?
[14:46] ---
There won't be anything to
obscure the sky there.
[14:51] ---
Sorry to take so long.
[14:53] ---
Man, what is the deal with that lady?
[14:56] ---
Every time I used a repel spell,
as soon as I left the affected area,
[14:59] ---
she would catch up to me again.
[15:02] ---
Forget about that, what do we do?
[15:03] ---
School District 23 is
under incredibly tight security.
[15:07] ---
Are we going to be able to get in?
[15:10] ---
That's no problem.
[15:11] ---
I'll just use the "Just-this-once"
prerogative that only I have.
[15:16] ---
Prerogative?
[15:23] ---
This is strange.
[15:26] ---
It's about time for final preparations.
[15:28] ---
Isn't there still a short
while before the appointed time?
[15:30] ---
The security situation is changing strangely.
[15:33] ---
It looks like they've
caught on that I'm nearby.
[15:36] ---
In that case, the location
of our belvedere...
[15:40] ---
Probably. But it seems
to be the most practical place.
[15:44] ---
We won't involve any
more civilians here, either.
[15:48] ---
In that case...
[15:49] ---
Yes. You get ready, as well.
[15:53] ---
Let's now bring Academy City
under our control.
[15:58] ---
Just like pushing a maiden of light,
[16:00] ---
unaware of anything
before now, into the mud.
[16:06] ---
I had them alter the security
status of School District 23 a bit.
[16:09] ---
We'll take advantage of that confusion.
[16:12] ---
The Croce di Pietro will
be activated just after sundown.
[16:15] ---
Probably between the hours of 6 and 7.
[16:17] ---
It's ten minutes to the
District 23 terminal station.
[16:20] ---
That means once we get there,
[16:21] ---
we'll only have twenty-five
minutes before time is up.
[16:25] ---
Just to be clear on the matter,
[16:27] ---
you intend to face
Oriana in your condition?
[16:31] ---
I wish like crazy I could get some rest.
[16:34] ---
But District 23's security is not so lax
[16:36] ---
that the two of you can break in alone.
[16:39] ---
All right.
[16:55] ---
Once we get on this train,
there's no turning back.
[16:58] ---
Killing will be all that awaits us.
[17:01] ---
Are you ready for this, Kamijo Toma?
[17:05] ---
Yeah. We're going to
put a stop to all of this.
[17:09] ---
And one other thing...
[17:10] ---
What?
[17:12] ---
Remember this: I have no
intention of ending this with killing.
[17:25] ---
Toma isn't here?
[17:26] ---
U-Um...
[17:28] ---
Um, how do you mean...
[17:30] ---
I am terribly sorry.
[17:31] ---
Here you have entrusted
your precious son to me,
[17:34] ---
and I cannot account for his actions.
[17:38] ---
There is just one
thing we'd like to ask you.
[17:40] ---
Yes, what is it?
[17:42] ---
Toma is acting voluntarily, right?
[17:45] ---
He isn't being dragged
around by someone else?
[17:48] ---
Oh, yes. That is correct.
[17:54] ---
Then, it's something that means
more to Toma than competing.
[18:00] ---
I can't come up with any
reason to stop him, can you?
[18:04] ---
No.
[18:23] ---
Turning the skies of
heaven to our housetop,
[18:26] ---
in order to establish
peace in this land,
[18:29] ---
I now call on the blessing
of the Holy 12 Apostles.
[18:36] ---
The security around
here is focused on the skies.
[18:39] ---
There aren't that many
places to hide here, after all.
[18:42] ---
Then, how is Oriana
getting into the airport?
[18:45] ---
She must have
already done whatever it is.
[18:47] ---
Tsuchimikado, we're running out of time.
[18:50] ---
Ah, we'll just use that.
[18:56] ---
We're near the public airport.
The skies are crowded with both
[19:00] ---
passenger planes
and experimental craft.
[19:02] ---
The monitoring crafts have
to alter their patrol routes regularly,
[19:07] ---
to prevent mid-air collisions.
[19:09] ---
If we sneak in under their blind spots,
we should be able to manage.
[19:27] ---
Wait! Tsuchimikado!
[19:28] ---
What, Kami?
[19:31] ---
Tsuchimikado!
[19:32] ---
Are you okay, Tsuchimikado?!
[19:34] ---
Go on... Kami...!
[19:37] ---
Destroy that page...
and the two of you go on...!
[19:40] ---
What about you?!
[19:42] ---
Stiyl, can't you
heal him with your magic?
[19:46] ---
You think she's going to wait for that?!
[19:50] ---
Kamijo Toma!
[20:08] ---
Flame to my hand!
[20:10] ---
Its form, a sword;
its purpose, conviction!
[20:17] ---
Hurry!
[20:19] ---
So the saint isn't
coming after all, huh?
[20:22] ---
Which means,
I guess it's just the three of you.
[20:28] ---
A barrier?
She's cut off all communication.
[20:36] ---
Stiyl!
[20:42] ---
Oh, my!
[20:43] ---
I'm not so responsive that
I can get my satisfaction on the side.
[20:50] ---
Break apart!
[20:58] ---
I see you guys still cave all too quickly.
[21:02] ---
I will stop you, right here.
[21:04] ---
I am not letting you
use the Croce di Pietro.
[21:07] ---
If you mean to mess up Academy City,
and ruin the Daihasei Festival,
[21:11] ---
then I swear, I will stop you!
[21:15] ---
How unkind to call it "messing up."
[21:17] ---
The Croce di Pietro removes
the wall between magic and science,
[21:21] ---
and might just lead the
people of the world to happiness.
[21:25] ---
Happiness?
[21:28] ---
How nice. I can kind of see
how those words might sound nice.
[21:34] ---
However, the problem I have with it
[21:37] ---
is that by you using the
Croce di Pietro right here and now,
[21:41] ---
you're going to wreck the Daihasei Festival!
[21:45] ---
So many people treasure
the Daihasei Festival.
[21:50] ---
I don't care how great the religion
that you settle down with is,
[21:53] ---
there's no way you have the
right to deprive them of those feelings!
[21:58] ---
Do you think that much of
an emotionally-charged argument
[22:00] ---
is going to sway me?
[22:03] ---
If that's all it takes to hurt you,
[22:05] ---
then you're out of order to begin with.
[22:07] ---
Can you say the same thing
[22:09] ---
in front of Fukiyose and
Himegami, the ones you injured?
[22:14] ---
Ultimately, that's all I
wanted to say. Except...
[22:18] ---
If you're still thinking of
doing anything in my town,
[22:20] ---
I will wipe out any illusions of it,
till there are no traces left!

[23:55] ---
I don't care how lofty your goal is--
[23:57] ---
I don't care how admirable your cause is--
