**[00:30] ---**
Kihara Amata of Hound Dog
overpowers Accelerator.
**[00:34] ---**
However, his objective is the
recovery of Last Order.
**[00:37] ---**
Accelerator allows
Last Order to escape,
**[00:39] ---**
but has no means
of fighting back. And then...
**[00:42] ---**
What are you doing over there?
**[00:43] ---**
Huh?
**[00:50] ---**

#20 Hound Dog (Hound Squad)
**[02:26] ---**
Huh?
**[02:30] ---**
What do we do?
**[02:32] ---**
Huh?
**[02:33] ---**
You wanna know what to do?
**[02:35] ---**
We've gotta eliminate her, right?
**[02:50] ---**
Get going. If you don't
get to a hospital right away,
**[02:53] ---**
it'll be too late.
**[02:58] ---**
Hey, what are you waiting for!?
Hurry up and shoot!
**[03:00] ---**
Y-Yes, sir!
**[03:06] ---**
Don't make a fuss.
**[03:08] ---**
Just keep going forward.
**[03:09] ---**
Time is running out
for the both of us, right?
**[03:12] ---**
W-Where to?
**[03:14] ---**
I know a good doctor.
**[03:16] ---**
Aww... That one thing!
Bring me that thing!
**[03:22] ---**
Wishful thinking.
**[03:23] ---**
If you use a car,
you're all but telling me
**[03:26] ---**
that you can't use
your wind control, aren't you?
**[03:29] ---**
Adios, scumbag.
**[03:32] ---**
Huh?
**[03:35] ---**
Geez...
**[03:50] ---**
Nice city, huh?
**[03:52] ---**
I was sure the erosion
would be a lot further along, though.
**[03:56] ---**
Who are you?
**[03:58] ---**
A rival of yours in the killing trade.
**[04:02] ---**
Kill her.
**[04:06] ---**
You... bear no hostility, huh?
**[04:08] ---**
If that's what you want,
try being more adequate.
**[04:17] ---**
Well now, he really
turned up his nose at me.
**[04:20] ---**
I wonder if you'll
be of any use, though.
**[04:35] ---**
"These are the people
who attacked him,"
**[04:37] ---**
says Misaka Misaka, telling the truth.
**[04:40] ---**
Yeah, but is this
what your friend did to them?
**[04:44] ---**
"I don't think so.
**[04:46] ---**
He is short-tempered, and quick to fight,
**[04:49] ---**
so it seems unthinkable that
his retaliation would be so minor,"
**[04:52] ---**
says Misaka Misaka,
making a simple assumption.
**[04:56] ---**
In any case, we have to report this.
**[05:00] ---**
"They are here!"
**[05:02] ---**
reports Misaka Misaka
while taking cover behind the car.
**[05:07] ---**
"They"?
**[05:27] ---**
Oh, what have we here?
**[05:30] ---**
Oh, that's an osmatic sensor.
**[05:32] ---**
We use them to track down targets.
**[05:35] ---**
So it's a mechanical police dog, is it?
**[05:38] ---**
You know, there's
something about this quietness.
**[05:41] ---**
This wouldn't be more of
Kihara's big production, would it?
**[05:47] ---**
What the hell were
you doing back there?
**[05:50] ---**
Hmm? I came to give back
something I borrowed from you.
**[05:54] ---**
Here! This cutting-edge
daily-use product.
**[05:57] ---**
What are you, dense?
Those things are disposable.
**[06:05] ---**
Mm-hmm... "And so the ugly duck,
who had been told she was no good,
**[06:10] ---**
turned out to actually
be a super sexy-hot swan.
**[06:13] ---**
The end."
**[06:14] ---**
Say, what does "sexy-hot" mean?
**[06:17] ---**
That's not what
"The Ugly Duckling" is about.
**[06:20] ---**
Then, what *is* it about?
**[06:21] ---**
Huh? What was it again...?
**[06:25] ---**
From what the kid said, the swan
who wanted to get along with the ducks,
**[06:31] ---**
was actually happy to
be confronted with the fact,
**[06:35] ---**
that she wasn't part
of their circle, or something.
**[06:39] ---**
By "the kid," do you mean
the lost girl you were looking for?
**[06:43] ---**
In fact, as circumstances would
have it, I'm still looking for her.
**[06:46] ---**
You got separated again?
**[06:48] ---**
Yeah, that's right. That's why
we have to part ways here.
**[06:52] ---**
I'll look with you!
**[06:54] ---**
I mean, I can tell that
you're bothered by this.
**[06:57] ---**
I think if it were Toma,
he'd say the same thing.
**[07:02] ---**
Pull over somewhere around here.
**[07:06] ---**
There's a huge hospital in this area.
**[07:08] ---**
Go there, and find a doctor
whose face looks a lot like a frog.
**[07:13] ---**
When you find the doctor,
tell him to get a battery ready
**[07:16] ---**
for the Misaka Network connection
electrode. He'll know what it means.
**[07:20] ---**
Mm-hmm, all right.
**[07:22] ---**
"A Misaka Network connection
electrode battery," right?
**[07:29] ---**
You sit tight.
**[07:31] ---**
Huh?
**[07:31] ---**
You have to wait
right here until I get back.
**[07:36] ---**
All right. Just get going, already.
**[07:42] ---**
Start driving.
**[07:44] ---**
Aren't you going to let me go yet?
**[07:47] ---**
Live or die, you decide.
**[08:01] ---**
You still alive, Last Order?!
**[08:14] ---**
No good. It's locked.
**[08:16] ---**
There may be a way to unlock it.
**[08:27] ---**
Let's just go someplace
with a lot of people.
**[08:30] ---**
They're not going
to want to make a scene.
**[08:34] ---**
"Are we really going to
be able to help him like this?"
**[08:38] ---**
asks Misaka Misaka,
lamenting over how powerless she is.
**[08:42] ---**
Who can say? Still,
**[08:45] ---**
there's no way we can
help him if we don't survive this.
**[08:48] ---**
If you want to save him,
make sure you don't die first.
**[08:52] ---**
"Mm-hmm," says Misaka Misaka,
nodding her head forward.
**[08:56] ---**
Okay, let's stay alive.
**[09:08] ---**
What's going on here?
**[09:10] ---**
Let's just get outside--
**[09:29] ---**
What do you need at this hour?
**[09:32] ---**
There's trouble. Major trouble.
**[09:35] ---**
I heard the general situation
from one of the Misaka sisters.
**[09:40] ---**
They perform a kind
of information exchange
**[09:43] ---**
across their electrical network, you see.
**[09:46] ---**
That speeds things up.
What's happened to the kid?
**[09:51] ---**
It appears that she is being pursued
by a separate Hound Dog unit.
**[09:56] ---**
Word is that she is with a bystander
who happened to be with her.
**[10:00] ---**
Tch, where are they?
**[10:01] ---**
She does not know that, herself.
**[10:04] ---**
Did a kid wearing a
white nun's habit arrive there yet?
**[10:08] ---**
How does she know
about your proxy calculator?
**[10:12] ---**
That's none of your concern.
**[10:15] ---**
Just keep her there with you.
**[10:17] ---**
Hmm... Good grief.
How far are you planning to take this?
**[10:23] ---**
I'm killing Kihara.
**[10:24] ---**
I'm bringing down Hound Dog, too.
**[10:26] ---**
Then, I'm saving the kid, unharmed.
**[10:29] ---**
Not possible.
Under the circumstances,
**[10:33] ---**
you are undertaking
too many courses of action.
**[10:37] ---**
There is no way you
will accomplish them all.
**[10:39] ---**
Don't be such a know-it-all!
Since when do doctors--
**[10:42] ---**
I've seen hells
that were worse than yours.
**[10:45] ---**
Which is why I can
say this to you. Accelerator,
**[10:48] ---**
do not bite off more than you can chew;
**[10:52] ---**
make saving Last Order's
life your only priority.
**[10:56] ---**
If you bring her back to me alive,
I will definitely heal her.
**[10:59] ---**
Measuring up to those
expectations is what a doctor does.
**[11:04] ---**
That's fine with me.
**[11:09] ---**
"A Certain Magical Index II"
**[11:15] ---**
The Right Seat of God, huh?
**[11:18] ---**
I didn't think they'd go this far.
**[11:36] ---**
This is Yomikawa calling Headquarters.
**[11:39] ---**
Requesting details on call 334.
**[11:46] ---**
This girl...
**[11:49] ---**
W-What the...?
**[12:02] ---**
Renewable Resource
Treatment Plant #3, huh?
**[12:04] ---**
The target's scent
continues on into there.
**[12:07] ---**
You're absolutely sure of that, right?
**[12:14] ---**
If you want to get out of here safely,
**[12:16] ---**
you'll just sit still there.
**[12:19] ---**
A cleaning agent. That'll do it.
**[12:23] ---**
Now to wash away my smell,
and get myself out of here. Hmm?
**[12:28] ---**
Damn them. They're here earlier
than expected, aren't they?
**[12:34] ---**
All they have are the small ones, huh?
**[12:39] ---**
Sissy!
**[12:42] ---**
What do you want, Kuroko?
**[12:43] ---**
I cannot get back home
because of my Judgment work,
**[12:46] ---**
so I need you to get in touch
with our nagging head resident
**[12:49] ---**
to ask for a curfew extension.
I know it is already past curfew--
**[12:52] ---**
Um...
**[12:53] ---**
I'm at the convenience
store right now, so...
**[12:55] ---**
Gah?!
**[12:58] ---**
How can Sissy still be out, as well?
**[13:01] ---**
We are going to get some
demerits, no questions asked.
**[13:05] ---**
Why would Miss Misaka
be breaking curfew today?
**[13:10] ---**
I-It cannot be!
**[13:12] ---**
My Sissy, on an evening
date with that rotten troglodyte?!
**[13:16] ---**
Why that lousy jerk!
Enjoying the evening view in the rain!
**[13:20] ---**
That is a rather elegant choice!
**[13:22] ---**
I cannot just stand around here.
**[13:24] ---**
I, Shirai Kuroko, have a
duty to preserve Sissy's virtue!
**[13:27] ---**
No, you can't.
**[13:28] ---**
Look, this mountain of paperwork
**[13:31] ---**
and accounting documents
is nowhere near being done, right?
**[13:40] ---**
What's happening out there?
**[13:42] ---**
Why aren't they coming in?
**[13:45] ---**
Hi!!
**[13:48] ---**
Did I startle you?
**[13:50] ---**
Don't be scared; come on out.
I have my own issues to deal with.
**[13:56] ---**
If you won't do as I say,
**[13:59] ---**
I'll turn you into a lump of goo.
**[14:06] ---**
Who are you?
**[14:09] ---**
One of the Right Seat
of God, Vento of the Front.
**[14:14] ---**
Target located.
And with that out of the way,
**[14:17] ---**
it's time to get
yourself killed, Kamijo Toma!
**[14:28] ---**
Rod, what does
the osmatic sensor say?
**[14:30] ---**
Hang on, it's just finishing.
**[14:57] ---**
You don't have to be so nervous.
**[14:59] ---**
You won't have
enough time to feel any pain.
**[15:04] ---**
Hide somewhere, Last Order!
**[15:10] ---**
Ha-ha! There's the right hand
I've heard so much about!
**[15:13] ---**
Way to keep up with me here!
**[15:16] ---**
From above!
**[15:20] ---**
What fun! I see, I see!
**[15:24] ---**
It looks like your right
hand is extremely effective,
**[15:26] ---**
just like it said in the report!
**[15:28] ---**
My favorite attack,
striking from every which way,
**[15:31] ---**
has absolutely no effect!
**[15:33] ---**
Your favorite?
**[15:34] ---**
Then again,
I don't really understand it.
**[15:37] ---**
All right, let's try this.
**[15:38] ---**
Why, you...!
**[15:41] ---**
Ha, so that does *that*, huh?
Sorry 'bout that.
**[15:46] ---**
Seems as though
there not being enough time
**[15:48] ---**
to feel any pain is too much to ask.
**[15:51] ---**
So, if you want to find happiness,
you'll have to become a masochist.
**[15:56] ---**
These attacks haven't been
following the movement of her hammer.
**[16:00] ---**
You mean, it's the cross?!
**[16:03] ---**
Oh, my secret's out, is it?
**[16:05] ---**
Damn!
**[16:06] ---**
Uh-oh. This is kind of starting
to become a nuisance. Here!
**[16:14] ---**
Run!
**[16:19] ---**
Go on! Please, call for help!
**[16:25] ---**
Leave it!
**[16:29] ---**
You're pretty cruel, huh?
How can you make that little girl
**[16:33] ---**
keep running away
into the darkness like that?
**[16:36] ---**
Wouldn't she be happier
if she were killed alongside you?
**[16:40] ---**
As long as I go pick
her up, there's no problem.
**[16:43] ---**
That's why I won't die.
**[16:44] ---**
Oh, how fun. On the other hand,
will you be able to say the same,
**[16:49] ---**
once I turn your
internal organs to fleshy juice?
**[16:52] ---**
Well, *you* are my target, after all.
**[16:55] ---**
So long as you don't run,
that will really help me out!
**[17:14] ---**
Y-You're joking, right...?
**[17:16] ---**
Joking? Yeah, of course.
**[17:19] ---**
Trying out some new material.
**[17:26] ---**
Sorry about that. Do you even
know who you've made an enemy of?
**[17:41] ---**
Isn't that nice of you?
**[17:43] ---**
Are you sure you shouldn't
be worrying about yourself?
**[17:47] ---**
Why, you...
**[17:50] ---**
What's the point of
getting all heated up *now*?
**[17:53] ---**
You *do* know what's going
on in Academy City now, right?
**[17:56] ---**
Get a clue as
to how valuable you are!
**[17:59] ---**
My only objective is you,
Kamijo Toma.
**[18:02] ---**
Anything else is icing on the cake.
**[18:04] ---**
Even the List of Prohibited Books
is insignificant compared to you.
**[18:09] ---**
You are without a doubt an enemy
of the Roman Orthodox Church now.
**[18:12] ---**
And we use whatever means
are necessary to defeat our enemies.
**[18:16] ---**
Even if it means wiping
out the entire nation of Japan.
**[18:20] ---**
As you can see, it is personally
signed by the Roman pope himself.
**[18:24] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[18:25] ---**
Did it sound like
I was kidding? Well then,
**[18:28] ---**
I will now kill every
single person in this shop!
**[18:32] ---**
Stop!
**[18:33] ---**
And away it goes!
**[18:37] ---**
This is Vera.
**[18:38] ---**
Status report, over.
**[18:43] ---**
Damn.
**[18:53] ---**
Nancy!
**[19:09] ---**
Damn...
**[19:14] ---**
What's that?
A side effect of the magic?
**[19:27] ---**
Miss Shirai!
**[19:28] ---**
Which bento box do you want?
**[19:31] ---**
There's Chinese *donburi* or fish here.
**[19:32] ---**
Right about now, Sissy and that rotten troglodyte
**[19:36] ---**
are enjoying the
city nightlife together...
**[19:39] ---**
Oh! It's time for
"Sudden Variety." The TV, the TV...
**[19:44] ---**
Who cares?!
**[19:45] ---**
"Intruder Disturbance in Academy City"
**[19:46] ---**
Currently, there is word of an intruder disturbance in Academy City.
**[19:50] ---**
Accompanying this is word
**[19:50] ---**
"Intruder Disturbance in Academy City"
**[19:51] ---**
that there has been damage extending all across Academy City.
**[19:55] ---**
Ah, we are receiving footage now.
**[19:55] ---**
"Intruder Disturbance Strikes Academy City"
**[19:59] ---**
"One moment please"
**[20:00] ---**
Did we get any reports
about what we just saw?
**[20:04] ---**
Then again, if one person really
did overpower Antiskill,
**[20:08] ---**
that intruder has a
considerable risk factor.
**[20:12] ---**
If it really does get out of hand,
Antiskill will request backup.
**[20:16] ---**
Until then, we'll work
on as much paperwork as--
**[20:20] ---**
Uiharu?
**[20:27] ---**
That ought to shake
off their sense of smell.
**[20:47] ---**
Him, huh?
**[20:52] ---**
Help me! Take me into protective custody!
**[20:56] ---**
In your face! I'm saved!
**[20:59] ---**
If you try anything, your relationship
**[21:01] ---**
with that brat you tried so
hard to protect will be through!
**[21:14] ---**
W-What?!
**[21:17] ---**
Wait! Wait a second, Accelerator!
**[21:20] ---**
Spare me--
**[21:24] ---**
G-Get away from that man!
**[21:38] ---**
This is a real scene of carnage.
**[21:45] ---**
So that's it.
**[21:46] ---**
This is how they were planning
to attack Academy City, is it?
**[21:51] ---**
They're going to impale each
and every incapacitated person.
**[22:01] ---**
That's no good, huh?
**[22:06] ---**
Aiho!
**[22:08] ---**
School District 5,
**[22:10] ---**
based on testimony at the
scene and databank cross-referencing,
**[22:14] ---**
the following person is wanted
as the primary person of interest
**[22:16] ---**
in a case of attempted murder.
**[23:55] ---**
"Preview"
**[23:55] ---**
People are collapsing left and right.
**[23:57] ---**
Accelerator roars at the unrest
spreading through Academy City.
**[24:00] ---**
And then, giant wings
dance across the skies.
**[24:02] ---**
Could those actually be...?
**[24:04] ---**
Next time, "Testament."
**[24:06] ---**
When science and magic
cross paths, the story begins.
