[00:05] ---
    Hamazura is working too slow.
[00:07] ---
    Work?
[00:09] ---
    Yeah. I sent him out on a garbage run.
[00:13] ---
    Then, after he finishes that,
    I told him to go buy a salmon lunch.
[00:16] ---
    Huh? Hamazura, what kept you?!
[00:19] ---
    Ah, so this is where you are.
[00:22] ---
    It's you--Dark Matter.
[00:24] ---
    I wish you'd use my name. I do have
    the name Kakine Teitoku, you know.
[00:29] ---
    Now then, I've come to declare victory.
[00:34] ---
    I don't know who you are,
[00:37] ---
    but I'm sorry to be the one to send you off.
[00:43] ---
    In this city,
[00:45] ---
    those without any power
    are the same as trash.
[00:48] ---
    Nobody helps them.
[00:50] ---
    I'm sure I'm one of them.
[00:55] ---
    "Incoming call: Kinuhata Saiai"
[00:55] ---
    Kinuhata?
[00:57] ---
    I just finished the job.
[00:58] ---
    Hamazura, secure us a vehicle
    as fast as you can, please.
[01:03] ---
    We're under fire from SCHOOL.
[01:06] ---
    Huh?!
[01:06] ---
    One of their objectives is Takitsubo.
[01:10] ---
    They probably learned
    about Takitsubo's AIM Stalker,
[01:13] ---
    and are here to get rid of her.
[01:14] ---
    As long as Takitsubo is safe,
    we can still turn the situation around.
[01:18] ---
    You have to take her and get--
[01:27] ---
    Kinuhata!
[01:29] ---
    I'm ultra-fine.
[01:30] ---
    I'm fighting, too.
[01:31] ---
    That's okay, you just stay put.
[01:34] ---
    There you are!
[01:46] ---
    Huh? What is this?
[01:48] ---
    Oh, that was awesome.
[01:50] ---
    That punk Sunazara snuffed it,
    along with the magneto-sniper rifle?
[01:55] ---
    You'll have to face me.
[01:57] ---
    You can't beat me with Level 4 Offense Armor.
[02:00] ---
    I'm well beyond the level
    that you can scheme your way out of.
[02:06] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index III"
[02:13] ---
    "#06 Super-espers"
[02:17] ---
    Either I go up there and get killed,
[02:19] ---
    or I run away and wind up in the incinerator.
[02:24] ---
    Damn it!
[02:27] ---
    Kinuhata?!
[02:30] ---
    Huh?
[02:31] ---
    Let her go!
[02:33] ---
    Who are you? Don't tell me you want
    to go up against me with that toy.
[02:37] ---
    Oh, I see, you're a sacrificial pawn.
[02:40] ---
    Your big boss Mugino has long since fled.
[02:42] ---
    Damn that woman...
[02:44] ---
    Don't.
[02:46] ---
    Run, Hamazura.
[02:49] ---
    I'm a Level 4, and you're
    a Level 0, so I'll protect you.
[02:55] ---
    Takitsubo...
[02:58] ---
    What is that?
[03:04] ---
    Why, you!
[03:05] ---
    Are you trying to disrupt
    my AIM diffusion field
[03:08] ---
    and take over my ability?!
[03:10] ---
    Hurry, Hamazura!
[03:19] ---
    I didn't ask for any help.
[03:22] ---
    Why, long time no see.
[03:23] ---
    You're that girl from before!
[03:25] ---
    Hmm? So that's what happened.
[03:28] ---
    Yeah. Imagine, using an ability crystal.
[03:31] ---
    What's an ability crystal?
[03:33] ---
    A chemical that triggers an adverse reaction,
[03:36] ---
    deliberately making
    one's ability run out of control.
[03:39] ---
    In most cases, though,
    it's nothing but detrimental.
[03:42] ---
    Even if it does produce favorable results,
    if you keep using it...
[03:53] ---
    Takitsubo!
[03:54] ---
    If she uses her power another
    time or two, she'll destroy herself.
[03:58] ---
    We won't even have to finish the job.
[04:06] ---
    Heart Measure.
[04:08] ---
    I just shrank the emotional
    distance between you and me.
[04:12] ---
    The closeness we now feel is,
    I don't know, that of friends?
[04:15] ---
    You can't shoot your friend, can you?
[04:19] ---
    Applied telepathy...?
[04:26] ---
    Damn it!
[04:28] ---
    Takitsubo!
[04:31] ---
    "Incoming call: Mugino Shizuri"
[04:32] ---
    It's Mugino.
[04:34] ---
    Hamazura, is Takitsubo there?
[04:37] ---
    Damn you,
[04:38] ---
    running away by yourself!
[04:41] ---
    Oh, pipe down, would you?
[04:43] ---
    Our counterattack begins now.
[04:45] ---
    We're going to use Takitsubo's
    power and pursue SCHOOL.
[04:48] ---
    That's crazy! You're going
    to get everyone killed!
[04:51] ---
    Besides, Takitsubo is in no shape to do so.
[04:53] ---
    Ah, so she's alive? Thank goodness.
[04:57] ---
    I really need her to
    provide results, even if it kills her.
[05:01] ---
    Now then...
[05:05] ---
    Run, Hamazura. I don't
    want to get you killed.
[05:11] ---
    Well, have you extended
    a hand to anyone asking for help?
[05:16] ---
    The reason you've been looked down
    on has nothing to do with power.
[05:21] ---
    Figure out what to do about that
    good-for-nothing illusion yourself,
[05:25] ---
    you filthy bastard!
[05:29] ---
    Yeah, I get it.
[05:32] ---
    He's right, damn it!
[05:36] ---
    Look, Hamazura,
[05:38] ---
    do you know what I do for a living?
[05:40] ---
    I'll explain as much as you want afterward.
[05:43] ---
    But right now, take her
    someplace safe for me.
[05:47] ---
    She could fall apart anytime,
    thanks to something called an ability crystal.
[05:51] ---
    Ability crystal?!
[05:53] ---
    Hey, Hamazura,
    did you just say "ability crystal"?!
[05:56] ---
    Yeah, which is why--
[05:58] ---
    Hamazura!
[06:00] ---
    I've been looking all over for you, you know,
[06:03] ---
    lugging around this baggage with me.
[06:06] ---
    You don't need to be liquidated, too, do you?
[06:12] ---
    Hey, what's going on--
[06:13] ---
    Get going!
[06:15] ---
    Wait, I can't hide behind
    a child in this situation!
[06:18] ---
    Just get going!
[06:21] ---
    Please! I don't want to let her die.
[06:26] ---
    I've been doing nothing
    but spinning my wheels fretting,
[06:28] ---
    but I've finally realized
    that this is what I want to do!
[06:31] ---
    So get going! I can't protect her by myself!
[06:35] ---
    Without your help,
    everything goes up in smoke, right here!
[06:52] ---
    Electrifying, isn't it, Hamazura?
[06:56] ---
    How did you get that?!
[06:58] ---
    Without this,
[07:00] ---
    you can't make Takitsubo
    use her ability, can you?!
[07:09] ---
    Take that, you damn woman!
[07:21] ---
    Hamazura...
[07:23] ---
    ...make no mistake, I'm going to kill you.
[07:53] ---
    Nice place, huh? You've got good taste,
    picking an unmanned facility.
[08:01] ---
    Indeed, it's definitely better to die alone.
[08:04] ---
    Isn't that right, Hamazura?!
[08:19] ---
    Hamazura, would you stop being so obstructive
[08:24] ---
    and hand over the ability crystals already?
[08:30] ---
    I'm not going to rest until
    I've killed all the members of SCHOOL.
[08:35] ---
    Here, give me the ability crystals.
[08:37] ---
    No way! I won't let Takitsubo
    use ability crystals anymore!
[08:41] ---
    Huh?
[08:42] ---
    She's already at her limit.
[08:44] ---
    So what if she is? Once she's spent,
    I'll just recruit another esper.
[08:50] ---
    Then again, she is the only one
    who can search AIM diffusion fields.
[08:56] ---
    As long as I know where those SCHOOL
    sons of bitches are, I'm fine, though.
[09:01] ---
    I'm sorry, but I can't work with you anymore.
[09:04] ---
    You can't beat that Kakine bastard.
[09:07] ---
    You've already run away from him twice, now.
[09:11] ---
    Hold on, you seem to have
    a screw loose inside your head.
[09:14] ---
    You want me to tighten it for you?
[09:16] ---
    She said--Takitsubo said she didn't
    want a selfish guy like me to die...
[09:23] ---
    I have to let someone
    like her... find happiness!
[09:31] ---
    A Level 0 ear...
[09:33] ---
    in exchange for a Level 5 eyeball...
    That's a bargain, huh?
[09:38] ---
    Hamazura!!
[09:42] ---
    It doesn't matter!
[09:44] ---
    You could tear off my arms and legs
    or bust up my internal organs,
[09:47] ---
    but it wouldn't change
    how outclassed you are!
[09:49] ---
    I could kill a hundred of you Level 0s
    without even having to lift a finger!
[10:04] ---
    I'm no idiot, myself.
[10:08] ---
    I beat you easily, Level 5.
[10:11] ---
    Damn, it really was a bargain.
[10:16] ---
    Hamazura...
[10:19] ---
    Hamazura!!
[10:46] ---
    It's Hamazura. I don't need
    Antiskill's help anymore.
[10:50] ---
    Yeah, it's all over.
[10:59] ---
    So, is there any progress on the
    analysis of the data on the tweezers?
[11:03] ---
    Yeah.
[11:04] ---
    But it's no use.
[11:06] ---
    This data alone still won't be enough
    to put me on equal footing with Aleister.
[11:12] ---
    We'll need to make another push.
[11:14] ---
    Then you're going to do it, aren't you?
[11:17] ---
    Kill the top-ranked guy in Academy City.
[11:29] ---
    Yeah?
[11:30] ---
    The assassination plot by BLOCK to kill
    the governing board chairman has failed.
[11:36] ---
    I'm pleased to have such
    outstanding subordinates.
[11:39] ---
    Tch, sounds like you
    wanna get killed pretty badly.
[11:43] ---
    Not at all. I really am grateful for this.
[11:47] ---
    Which is why I'm offering some
    valuable information as a personal reward.
[11:52] ---
    Information regarding the threat to
    the life of Serial Number 20001, Last Order.
[12:00] ---
    By the way, what has
    happened to the lost child?
[12:03] ---
    Has the tickle in your crazy hair gone away?
[12:07] ---
    "Misaka does not have crazy hair,"
[12:09] ---
    answers Misaka Misaka while she withers up.
[12:13] ---
    "Hmm, I'm sure they were
    wandering around here earlier,"
[12:18] ---
    says Misaka Misaka,
    all tired out from all that wasted effort.
[12:24] ---
    "M-Misaka wants one of those, too!"
[12:26] ---
    says Misaka Misaka, not carrying a wallet,
[12:29] ---
    and then turning toward
    Miss Uiharu with a sparkle in her eyes.
[12:38] ---
    Here.
[12:41] ---
    Be sure to come back right away, okay?
[12:45] ---
    Okay, in the meantime,
    I think I'll enjoy some of this.
[12:49] ---
    Excuse me, miss.
[12:52] ---
    I'm looking for someone.
[12:56] ---
    I haven't seen her. I think you'd
    better file a report at an Antiskill station.
[13:02] ---
    You're right. Thanks.
[13:04] ---
    Oh, and miss,
[13:06] ---
    there's something I forgot to mention.
[13:09] ---
    I know Last Order was
    just with you, you damn airhead.
[13:15] ---
    Where is Last Order?
[13:17] ---
    Tell me, and I'll let you go.
[13:20] ---
    You'll never find her...
[13:21] ---
    Huh?
[13:23] ---
    Didn't you hear me?
[13:25] ---
    I said she was someplace
    where you'll never find her.
[13:29] ---
    Ha, very well.
[13:31] ---
    This is farewell, then.
[13:37] ---
    Ha-ha, you showed up sooner than I expected.
[13:41] ---
    Damn, man, you shouldn't get your jollies
    playing such sucky games, third-string!
[13:50] ---
    Huh?
[13:56] ---
    That's not a good look on you, fairy-tale.
[13:59] ---
    Don't you worry. I know what it looks like.
[14:01] ---
    Let's get things going
    with something more interesting.
[14:05] ---
    I'll teach you how to
    act more like a villain.
[14:15] ---
    Did you know everything in the world
    is made up of elementary particles?
[14:20] ---
    But the normal rules don't
    apply to my Dark Matter.
[14:25] ---
    The Dark Matter that I produce
[14:27] ---
    is a substance that doesn't
    exist in this world.
[14:31] ---
    I don't mean it hasn't been discovered,
    but that it should theoretically exist;
[14:36] ---
    I mean, it actually does not exist.
[14:44] ---
    Matter that doesn't exist
    operates under laws which don't exist.
[14:50] ---
    Like, say, turning the light from
    the sun into rays that can kill a man.
[14:59] ---
    I'm done reverse calculating.
[15:06] ---
    Accelerator,
[15:08] ---
    you say that you can reflect anything,
[15:11] ---
    but that's not accurate, is it?
[15:13] ---
    You unconsciously work up
    "harmful" and "non-harmful" filters,
[15:17] ---
    and choose to reflect
    only what's nonessential.
[15:20] ---
    Between the sunlight and wind gust earlier,
[15:23] ---
    I included 25,000 vectors within them.
[15:27] ---
    Based on how those were reflected,
[15:30] ---
    I just have to attack you using vector fronts
    from among those that you unconsciously accept.
[15:37] ---
    This is Dark Matter.
    A space with foreign matter in the mix.
[15:41] ---
    This is a place unknown to you!
[15:48] ---
    I'm going to gain the right
    to deal directly with Aleister!
[15:52] ---
    That's what the tweezers were for,
[15:55] ---
    but killing you, the top-ranked guy,
    looks like it will be quicker!
[15:59] ---
    At this stage, is the order of
    our numbers really that important?
[16:03] ---
    Aleister moves multiple
    plans forward concurrently.
[16:10] ---
    Each one of them contains
    a "second plan" within them.
[16:13] ---
    I am your second plan!
[16:23] ---
    So by killing me, you move
    to the top of his plan totem pole?
[16:28] ---
    That's right. By doing so,
    Aleister can no longer ignore me.
[16:32] ---
    Tch, you, too? I don't know what tragedy
    you got saddled with that broke you,
[16:39] ---
    but by thinking that because
    you have some grand reason,
[16:43] ---
    you're free to kill civilians,
    your villainy is much too cheap.
[16:46] ---
    You went ahead and smashed up
    plenty of civilians fighting me earlier!
[16:52] ---
    You're lacking in aesthetic,
    so that's the only thing you can say.
[16:55] ---
    For that matter, do you even
    know why you and I are divided
[16:59] ---
    into first and second ranks?
[17:01] ---
    It's because there's a complete
    and total wall in between us.
[17:06] ---
    D-Don't tell me...
[17:08] ---
    you were defending those
    people while we were fighting?
[17:12] ---
    Screw you! How much of
    that did you have under control?!
[17:17] ---
    Did that get under your skin, punk?
    That's what being a villain is.
[17:21] ---
    This is my world!
[17:24] ---
    No it isn't. I'm redefining this world
    as being made up of elementary particles,
[17:28] ---
    including your Dark Matter,
[17:30] ---
    and once I crack your formula,
    it's checkmate for you.
[17:33] ---
    You think you have a handle
    on me all the way to my core?!
[17:35] ---
    Your core's not that deep.
    I don't need to have a handle on it.
[18:00] ---
    Later, third-string.
[18:02] ---
    Hey, at least it's not as pitiful
    as being beaten by the good guys.
[18:06] ---
    Hold on, there!
[18:08] ---
    Hand that gun over here.
    You don't need one of those, do you?
[18:14] ---
    I'm a villain.
[18:16] ---
    In that case, I'll stop you.
[18:18] ---
    Do you really mean that?
[18:20] ---
    I don't have any other
    choice but to stop you.
[18:23] ---
    I will never give up on you.
    I'm going to drag you up out of there.
[18:29] ---
    That's why I'm here standing in your way.
    For the children I have to protect.
[18:33] ---
    For the peace that I love so much.
[18:36] ---
    It's a place where you
    are, and Last Order is,
[18:39] ---
    and we're all living together in laughter.
[18:42] ---
    The gun you're holding is
    extraneous to that future, isn't it?
[18:48] ---
    You aren't that big of a villain!
[19:02] ---
    It turns out you're the same as me.
[19:05] ---
    You can't protect anyone. Isn't that right?
[19:09] ---
    You've already sent a whole horde
    of people to their deaths like this!
[19:36] ---
    Awesome. Such awesome evil.
    You really can pull it off if you try, villain.
[19:43] ---
    Seeing this, Dark Matter
    certainly would be the Spare Plan.
[19:48] ---
    However, it still doesn't
    necessarily mean....
[19:51] ---
    ...we have to fight to the finish, do we?
[20:06] ---
    Wh-What did you--?!
[20:08] ---
    This is what a villain is.
[20:11] ---
    Is that what you are?! Your role is...!
[20:31] ---
    Lower your weapons!
[20:35] ---
    The only way to stop him is...
[20:36] ---
    "I found...
[20:41] ---
    ...my lost child,"
[20:42] ---
    says Misaka Misaka,
    insisting on speaking to you.
[20:58] ---
    "It's all right," says Misaka Misaka,
    stretching out her hand.
[21:07] ---
    Accelerator... are you...?
[21:11] ---
    F-Fire!
[21:15] ---
    Stop!
[21:23] ---
    "It's okay, you don't
    have to do this anymore,"
[21:26] ---
    says Misaka Misaka, stating what's right.
[21:51] ---
    "Thank goodness," says Misaka Misaka.
[22:11] ---
    Apparently, that SCHOOL bunch
    needed the tweezers
[22:16] ---
    to recover a certain nanodevice.
[22:18] ---
    Nanodevice?
[22:20] ---
    Yeah. A roughly 50-million-unit
    surveillance nanodevice,
[22:25] ---
    dispersed by Aleister
    throughout the air of Academy City.
[22:30] ---
    "The Underline." That's what it's called.
[22:34] ---
    The Underline is a nexus that
    makes up an intelligence network
[22:36] ---
    that directly connects to
    Aleister regarding Academy City.
[22:40] ---
    You can guess the level of
    information that each unit holds.
[22:45] ---
    Oh, here it is.
[22:46] ---
    The secret codes of the city's darker side.
[22:48] ---
    GROUP, SCHOOL, ITEM, MEMBER, BLOCK...
[22:53] ---
    Organization names?
[22:54] ---
    Seems a bit after-the-fact now.
[22:58] ---
    No, there's more than just that.
[23:01] ---
    The last one to come up... is "DRAGON."
[23:12] ---
    I swear, I'm gonna get the better of them...
[23:15] ---
    ...on everything.
[23:24] ---
    "Preview"
[23:26] ---
    An underground complex
    extends beneath Academy City.
[23:29] ---
