#22 The Divine Retribution Spell
**[02:04] ---**
I'm down to sixty
seconds of control time.
**[02:06] ---**
As long as I kill this guy,
it will all be over.
**[02:10] ---**
I can't go back
down the path of light now.
**[02:13] ---**
So just think about taking Kihara
down to hell with you now!
**[02:23] ---**
You dirty punk,
**[02:24] ---**
how dare you come
stand before me like this!
**[02:29] ---**
What's the matter, kid?
**[02:31] ---**
I thought you were
here to save the girl.
**[02:34] ---**
Damn you...
**[02:35] ---**
Tell me, do you think you're
super cool to be doing this?
**[02:41] ---**
Facing off all alone
against some giant evil,
**[02:44] ---**
dashing in to rescue
the pitiful, captive little girl?
**[02:49] ---**
Do you think that makes
up for everything else
**[02:51] ---**
you've done in your life?
**[02:54] ---**
You'll wallow in
mud your whole life.
**[02:58] ---**
Damn it all,
**[03:00] ---**
I know that.
**[03:02] ---**
I know I'm stuck in
the mud my whole life.
**[03:04] ---**
That's not what I'm after.
**[03:08] ---**
You and I are the only
ones who have to go to hell.
**[03:12] ---**
Don't go dragging
the kid down along with us!
**[03:16] ---**
You filthy bastard!
**[04:00] ---**
You're starting to become a pain.
**[04:03] ---**
Swinging around
that vile right hand of yours,
**[04:05] ---**
protecting that nauseating
angel like you are.
**[04:07] ---**
How much are you going to crack
me up before you're happy?!
**[04:11] ---**
Oh, come off it!
**[04:13] ---**
What, you think your point of
view is the only one in the world?
**[04:17] ---**
Why won't you accept that there
are others who aren't like you?!
**[04:23] ---**
I hate science!
**[04:26] ---**
I detest science!
**[04:33] ---**
I hate this sort of science!
**[04:39] ---**
I detest the kind of science
that just let my brother die!
**[04:50] ---**
Someone's there?
**[04:53] ---**
Hold on!
**[04:55] ---**
What?
**[05:03] ---**
Kazakiri!
**[05:09] ---**
This is all science is!
And you're one of them!
**[05:13] ---**
You don't find that disgusting?!
**[05:18] ---**
Ha! When your battery dies,
you're just an immobile piece of junk.
**[05:32] ---**
What do you think about how
**[05:35] ---**
you fought back that squad of--
**[05:45] ---**
Why, you...!
**[05:59] ---**
What... the...?
**[06:18] ---**
Kazakiri...
**[06:32] ---**
Y-You hypocrite!
What do you think you're doing?!
**[06:40] ---**
This is too much!
**[06:43] ---**
Day after day, I keep
saying it's "just my luck,"
**[06:46] ---**
but given all this,
I'm plenty fortunate, you know?
**[06:49] ---**
Yeah?
**[06:51] ---**
W-What are...
What are you even talking about?
**[06:55] ---**
Just you wait, Kazakiri. Index is
taking action right now to save you.
**[07:02] ---**
She is, after all, your friend.
She is going to come through.
**[07:09] ---**
Just relax.
**[07:10] ---**
In the meantime, I'll make sure...
**[07:14] ---**
...to keep things in check here!
**[07:26] ---**
Don't you screw with me,
you gimpy bastard!
**[07:36] ---**
Wha--? Damn!
**[07:50] ---**
You filthy little punk!
**[08:01] ---**
Mess with me, will you?!
**[08:06] ---**
Damn it, let go!
**[08:10] ---**
Damn, that's right.
**[08:12] ---**
If he can't use his ability,
**[08:15] ---**
then that means my
"countermeasure" doesn't work anymore.
**[08:18] ---**
Damn. Just killing him isn't enough.
**[08:22] ---**
I have to take the meaning
of his death away from him.
**[08:25] ---**
But how do I do that?
**[08:33] ---**
Look at this!
**[08:35] ---**
It's the original script of the
virus that was input into her brain!
**[08:39] ---**
Without this, there's not
a chance of saving the girl!
**[08:48] ---**
In your face! Kick yourself
over that, you filthy punk!
**[08:54] ---**
I've destroyed everything
that is most important to you!
**[08:59] ---**
There isn't anything
you can make right anymore!
**[09:04] ---**
And now, it's your turn.
**[09:08] ---**
Start questioning whether
or not there's a heaven,
**[09:10] ---**
or whatever other drivel
you want to now!
**[09:16] ---**
Huh?
**[09:18] ---**
There she is!
**[09:21] ---**
It's her!
**[09:26] ---**
"A Certain Magical Index II"
**[09:50] ---**
I've got her.
**[09:51] ---**
Vento avoided letting me grab
onto her hammer with my right hand.
**[09:56] ---**
Which means that
it can cancel the thing out.
**[10:00] ---**
So then...
**[10:02] ---**
It looks like letting you get too
close doesn't gain me anything.
**[10:06] ---**
As long as I don't have to
worry about anything around me,
**[10:09] ---**
I can go all-out, too.
**[10:11] ---**
Ha! You almost make it sound
like that monster is helping you out!
**[10:15] ---**
Not "sound like,"
she really *is* helping me out!
**[10:19] ---**
Dream on!
**[10:24] ---**
This is the best you can do!
**[10:26] ---**
Don't go selling the
Right Seat of God short!
**[10:39] ---**
Damn!
**[10:49] ---**
Vento!
**[10:53] ---**
What's the idiotic outcry for?
**[10:57] ---**
You've thrown in with
the side of science, right?
**[11:00] ---**
With the appearance of that angel,
**[11:03] ---**
a coercive spell pressure
took effect over this whole region.
**[11:07] ---**
It's causing what might be
called a magic circulatory failure.
**[11:11] ---**
Aleister sure came
up with a repulsive trick!
**[11:14] ---**
You dumbass!
**[11:16] ---**
What possible reason could
you have to fight through all this?!
**[11:18] ---**
Don't feed me that hollow line!
**[11:23] ---**
Yikes... I couldn't dodge that...
**[11:32] ---**
Ha, now you need rescuing, don't you?
**[11:36] ---**
Forgive me, but I'm pressed for time, too.
**[11:38] ---**
I'll see to it that you
get sent to the hospital!
**[11:40] ---**
Shut up! I'll never again
turn myself over to science!
**[11:45] ---**
My younger brother
was killed through science.
**[11:48] ---**
What?
**[11:50] ---**
It was because of a glitch
at an amusement park attraction.
**[11:55] ---**
They said that scientifically,
there was no chance of any trouble.
**[11:59] ---**
It had multiple layers of safety devices,
**[12:01] ---**
and a fully-automated
speed control program.
**[12:04] ---**
They laid out all these
reassuring words for us,
**[12:07] ---**
but the truth is,
they didn't do any good at all!
**[12:10] ---**
You mean...
**[12:12] ---**
The same was true when we
were taken to the hospital afterward.
**[12:16] ---**
They were unable to find
enough blood for two transfusions,
**[12:18] ---**
so the doctors said they
could only save one of our lives.
**[12:22] ---**
My brother said, "Please save my sister."
**[12:27] ---**
And so, only I survived.
**[12:31] ---**
Surprised?
**[12:33] ---**
How can a member of the Right
Seat of God fight over such a reason?
**[12:37] ---**
But you see, I despise science
so much that I will even use
**[12:40] ---**
the Right Seat
of God to bring it down.
**[12:44] ---**
Science not only
deprives us of our way,
**[12:47] ---**
it even takes the Bible, which we
take to be the means of salvation,
**[12:50] ---**
and tries to smear it
with blasphemy such as this.
**[12:53] ---**
This is what the essence of science is!
All it does is hamper us!
**[12:59] ---**
That's why I hate and detest science!
**[13:02] ---**
If science is as cold as that,
then I'll smash it all to pieces,
**[13:07] ---**
and fill the world
with a warmer set of laws!
**[13:11] ---**
That's my duty, for having
squandered my brother's future!
**[13:16] ---**
You've got to be kidding me.
**[13:17] ---**
What?
**[13:19] ---**
The hell science killed your brother.
**[13:21] ---**
Of course those doctors never
wanted your brother to die to begin with.
**[13:26] ---**
Of course they wanted to save both of you!
**[13:29] ---**
That goes for the attraction
where you had the accident, too.
**[13:32] ---**
It's not like they were
running it to hurt people.
**[13:35] ---**
They wanted to bring
smiles to people's faces!
**[13:37] ---**
Shut up!
**[13:39] ---**
Your brother knew exactly the
situation he had been placed in,
**[13:43] ---**
but he still wanted
you to survive, didn't he?
**[13:47] ---**
Do you think someone
like that would say
**[13:50] ---**
that he wanted to
take revenge against science?
**[13:53] ---**
Someone who wanted more
than anyone else for you to be happy?!
**[13:57] ---**
I told you to shut up!
**[14:02] ---**
You think the view of a
little child on the verge of death
**[14:04] ---**
carries any value?!
**[14:06] ---**
If there wasn't enough blood,
they should have given it to my brother!
**[14:10] ---**
If they had to,
they could have used *my* blood, too!
**[14:13] ---**
Yes, it did have value.
**[14:16] ---**
It's precisely because
your brother made his decision
**[14:19] ---**
that you are here, alive, now, right?
**[14:21] ---**
So then it *did* have value!
**[14:24] ---**
You're the one who has
to understand the value it had
**[14:27] ---**
more than anyone, aren't you?
**[14:30] ---**
Don't be ridiculous!
You think that's any comfort?!
**[14:33] ---**
I consumed his whole future!
**[14:35] ---**
Could you shout out the same thing
**[14:37] ---**
to someone else in
the exact same situation?!
**[14:39] ---**
Because I couldn't!
**[14:41] ---**
That's why I refute it!
The life you're living is wrong!
**[14:46] ---**
Your brother did the most amazing
thing in the world back there.
**[14:50] ---**
And you're here disgracing that?!
**[14:52] ---**
Are you going to waste what
he said by going to your grave,
**[14:54] ---**
hating science the whole time?!
**[15:00] ---**
Hmph, that's a laugh.
**[15:03] ---**
I'm the one who chose this path.
**[15:05] ---**
There's no way that you,
who just heard the story right here,
**[15:08] ---**
can twist what happened so easily!
**[15:25] ---**
The crisis that both
Academy City and Kazakiri are in...
**[15:29] ---**
...as well as the hatred for
science that holds Vento captive...
**[15:33] ---**
...are illusions that I'm now
going to smash all at once!
**[15:37] ---**
Compared to what your brother did,
this may not be any big deal,
**[15:41] ---**
but it will save you just a little bit.
Now go back and start over!
**[15:46] ---**
You big dumbass!
**[16:07] ---**
Those men from before.
Do they have something to do with her?
**[16:12] ---**
Huh? Heh...
**[16:17] ---**
Hey!
**[16:19] ---**
Hey, what do you want?
I'm working here.
**[16:26] ---**
Hey, just a minute!
**[16:27] ---**
Don't go trying anything with her!
**[16:31] ---**
This girl is at the
core of everything, all right.
**[16:33] ---**
Based on angel architecture,
but made of formless telesma,
**[16:37] ---**
all tucked away inside
a human-shaped pouch.
**[16:40] ---**
But I don't know how
to move forward from here.
**[16:46] ---**
Short-hair, a question!
**[16:47] ---**
You call me Miss Mikoto!
**[16:49] ---**
So, what's your question?
**[16:53] ---**
What's an electronic network
that utilizes brainwaves?
**[16:57] ---**
Huh? Let's see...
Electricity-generating espers
**[17:01] ---**
can use identical brainwaves
to construct an EM network, I guess.
**[17:05] ---**
Then, what does it mean
that there's an AIM diffusion field
**[17:10] ---**
spread out across Academy City?
**[17:12] ---**
It's the power field naturally
generated by Academy City's espers.
**[17:18] ---**
So she's saying that there's
a special power that fills the city,
**[17:21] ---**
and that it's this girl that administers it.
**[17:24] ---**
By restricting her mind,
they're just twisting that special power
**[17:28] ---**
to create the "angel." In that case...
**[17:31] ---**
All we have to do is
untie the "knot" inside her head.
**[17:35] ---**
But to turn that idea into
a specific measure will take...
**[17:42] ---**
...a song.
**[17:44] ---**
It conveys things
better than simply words.
**[17:45] ---**
You filthy punk! I'll show you!
**[17:47] ---**
Using rhythm and tone,
we can communicate on multiple levels.
**[17:51] ---**
Hold on, you mean you can do
something in such an analog way?
**[17:54] ---**
Yes I can. A prayer will get through.
**[17:58] ---**
Our prayer is going to save them all.
**[18:01] ---**
This girl,
**[18:03] ---**
and Hyoka, and Academy City.
**[18:09] ---**
What's with you, you bastard?!
**[18:11] ---**
Suddenly starting to move on me!
**[18:43] ---**
Ki... hara...
**[18:51] ---**
Kihara!!
**[18:57] ---**
Ha, this should be good.
**[18:59] ---**
Yeah, of course. If you
were to go down as easily as that,
**[19:03] ---**
it wouldn't be any fun.
**[19:05] ---**
I'm glad you're being so
service-minded, Accelerator.
**[19:09] ---**
I've been pissed off at
you this whole time, as well.
**[19:13] ---**
I'm gonna flatten you good
with my fists before killing you!
**[19:22] ---**
That doesn't hurt me, kid!
**[19:26] ---**
All right, I've found my groove.
**[19:28] ---**
Ha-ha! I'm gonna make
this a little more interesting,
**[19:32] ---**
so show me a little more spunk!
**[19:56] ---**
What's happening?
**[19:57] ---**
What are those black
wings growing out of your back?
**[20:04] ---**
You bastard... Where
are you getting this strength?
**[20:08] ---**
You've acquired a new clearance...
**[20:10] ---**
What value did you enter
in for your Personal Reality?
**[20:15] ---**
Hey, don't tell me that power...
is of the angel variety!
**[20:22] ---**
Do you realize...
**[20:24] ---**
...what's behind you, you monster?
**[20:27] ---**
"Kill..."
**[20:27] ---**
Kill...
**[21:04] ---**

What about Kazakiri?!
**[22:22] ---**
Kazakiri!
**[22:26] ---**
If I touch Kazakiri now, it might
obliterate the real Kazakiri, too.
**[22:42] ---**
Who are you?
**[22:43] ---**
Excuse me.
I have business with the girl here.
**[22:47] ---**
I asked you who you are!
**[22:49] ---**
Acqua of the Rear.
**[22:52] ---**
Like Vento, I am one
of the Right Seat of God.
**[22:57] ---**
Hmph, you need not worry.
This is all for today; I'm heading back.
**[23:02] ---**
Let Vento go!
**[23:04] ---**
Hmph, if I were to let Vento go now,
**[23:08] ---**
and she were captured
by the side of science,
**[23:10] ---**
she would undoubtedly be executed.
**[23:14] ---**
You can have that.
**[23:17] ---**
It is already destroyed by
your right hand. It is just junk now.
**[23:22] ---**
Vento can no longer use divine retribution.
**[23:24] ---**
The people she neutralized
should recover soon.
**[23:28] ---**
Rest easy now,
**[23:29] ---**
knowing that you have preserved
the tranquility of Academy City.
**[23:33] ---**
You think I'm just going to accept that?!
**[23:36] ---**
I'm going to let you in on one thing.
**[23:40] ---**
I am a saint. If you
rush in blindly to fight me,
**[23:44] ---**
you will shorten your life.
**[23:46] ---**
Hey, wait!
**[23:55] ---**
"Preview"
**[23:56] ---**
One battle ends.
**[23:57] ---**
But the footfalls of another,
unprecedented battle
**[24:00] ---**
can clearly be heard
closing in--those of a war.
**[24:03] ---**
Next time, "Prewar."
**[24:05] ---**
When science and magic
cross paths, the story begins.
